The game auto-skipping missions done on other people's servers
This last big update with the new DLC added a lot of great things that made the game better in smaller ways. However, I did run into a thing that I can only assume was added in the last patch where if you finish a story mission or just most other missions and go back to your game, they're considered done and it automatically skips them. This wouldn't be so bad but I have friends that want to replay the game at their own pace that just helped me with a mission or two and it kinda ruined the game's flow when it just skipped on its own.
Is there a way to disable the game auto-skipping missions done on other servers or is this the new system now where you don't get to choose?

auto-skipping missions? wut?

If you mean that when you join random lobby that has progressed further in the story and quests than you and you complete their missions with them your progress will automatically catch up with theirs.

It always been like that.
To avoid this just put your saves on read only when playing on other's lobbies or backup your saves and then restore them later.

Its simple.

Not exactly.
What happened to my friend was something that usually requires you to make a decision whether or not to skip a mission because you already completed it on someone else's campaign. Like I would finish a story mission, go back to my own playthrough, and it would give me two choices to like play it but get no XP or just skip it because I beat it. This doesn't happen anymore and it automatically skips instead.

Wow really? :O Honestly i never heard of such thing it always skipped ahead when i played with randoms that were further in story than me.

Only game that i played that has similar gameplay and mechanics that actually asked if i want to continue playing on host that was further in story than me was Dead Island as far as i remember.

Skip mission has been there from the beginning and it is working as intended or at least should be working, I know it because it happened to me last week when I was "farming" Sand Hawk with a friend. You need to reach that same mission in your single player game to get 'skip mission' prompt.

No idea, why your automatically skipped progress. Have you finished any whole storyline in other game, and your SP progress wasn't that far?
