Why can't i join this mission?

[Puddles the Corgi]

I've seen several myself and have no clue - your post is the only reference I've found.

[AnvilShock]

it's an escort mission and you can't join because you're not good enough to join.

[Zheppon]

i think its the group you have join recently imo

Any of the people in that mission your friend or in your friends list? Might be why it's green.

Am I reading that right? How have they spent 1:40 on a 40 minute mission?

You read it right. Pretty sure it's a Phantom Mission now. xD

That means someone on your friend list is in that mission.

Can't be. I only have two friends that own this game and yesterday I saw four of these green icons at once. Couldn't join any of them.

The game is terrible about removing mission icons when the mission is finished. Many times, if you click on them, they will then dissappear because the mission has been over for a while.

Well thats what it means

Other people have added you through the game, and the game accepts on your behalf. Thats been my case, keeps showing a bunch of green missions even thought i only have 1 or 2 who plays this game.

Not sure what the green once are. It's not explained anywhere and i see different answers to that question.

Some say it's friends, but we know it's not as a green marker can have players you do not have in your friends list.

Some say it's recently played with, but that is not it either as you can have a green marker with people that are not in your recents list.

Just a few min ago, i head someone say that it means someone in the lobby has been reported cheating multiple times. I kinda doubt that one too.

The friends only could be a thing, but then why show that lobby in public if you're not able to join it.
