SOS beacon on private games

*sigh*

Yeah it's super weird right? Honestly no one way to tell if it's purposeful or a bug
Unless I'm missing a dev note on this

Also it wastes like a minute of my time.

You can't join an SOS from a private game but it still shows them on the map anyway. So you try to join a game only to be told you can't. Its really annoying.

They could un-private their match half way through because J3 has to walk the dog.

Should it show up (nah) would they have to spend time to fix it (yeah)

Same here, any solution ?

stop hosting games while private, while using an SOS to kill a charger or hulk, then forget about it?

Ooooh, so that's why every time I tried to join one I couldn't?
This is pretty bad ngl, it will just teach people to never even try to join thos.

just quick join a game. theres enough active players

Patch must have broke something, because I don't remember any private games showing up before. Now I see it all the time.

I'm guilty of this on some occasions. I usually do a private runs to complete daily orders and every now and then I end up as host after the host leaves and I pop an SOS beacon. It usually takes a minute or two before I remember that I still have my lobby set to private and then switch it to public.

Yeah, sorry 'bout that, in the heat of battle, we just sometimes miss a key and end up inputting an SOS beacon instead of reinforcing our teammates.

Look at planet, set difficulty, hit R (quick play).

[Pinkeh]

Quick play will sometimes attempt hot joining a private lobby and send you back to your Super Destroyer. It's broken af. If games are private they should not appear on the planet screen and should not be in queue for Quickplay

Maybe they forgot they enabled private lobbies? idk just trying to keep faith in humanity.
