    starting missions

    Hy,

    whenever I go to a mission and hit matchmaking I end up in a group halfway though that mission.
    Is there a way to start the mission fresh?
    When I'm in front of the start mission screen, can I choose to matchmake, or do I just strat alone and hope someone connect with me?

    If you are the leader, you can go to group settings then find the privacy tab and set the group to open so anyone can join and then begin the mission. Doing it this way makes matchmaking so much quicker and the enemies are scaled to a solo player until others automatically join your group.

    Thanks for the tip! I'm very new, and I was hesitant to use the matchmaker for exactly that reason denhans08 gave. Looking forward to my game session tonight even more now!

    Those are the best times to join a mission. Get the boss rewards and start another mission.

    You can also restart the mission's (for farming purposes) from the map screen after the mission ends. No need to run all the way to the start line

    Final tip - if you are in a group and are not the group leader, remember to pick up your loot super quick after finishing the mission because lots of players will restart the mission at a quick pace. However if you find you weren't able to pick it up in time then stay in the same group and collect it the next run with the new loot from that run.
