Hi,
So yesterday I was playing with two others (from our clan)
Player 1 group leader
Player 2
Player 3 (me)
We completed Manning Zoo together and Player 2 and Player 3 were unable to enter Stronghold Tidal Basin (Invaded) as it showed 'Locked By Manning Zoo'.
We just completed Manning Zoo so why couldn't we enter? (PS4)
Today,
Player 1 and Player 2 were in the middle of doing Stronghold Tidal Basin (Invaded) I joined late, and it wouldn't let me take part as it showed 'Locked By Capitol Hill' which means I have to play Capitol Hill without the other 2 players.
(or they have to replay it with me in the group)
Why is this game so restrictive - If I am playing with the host or invited to game in which the prequisites are met - then others players in the group should automatically meet the requirements instead of getting locked out.
That's just silly.
I can understand with DLC and what have you but not with free or added content
Makes no sense to me.
My guess is that Manning Zoo was also locked for players 2 and 3 at the time when you completed it together - there are some ways to join a locked mission in progress, it'll let you in but won't count for the 'unlock' (I think you also won't get the invasion-specific rewards, like the named item).
Off the top of my head I can't remember how you get into those missions in the first place, but it's definitely possible.
