Hi,

I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere else, I couldn't find it via the search function.

Are you able to play a bomberman game with your friends? I tried it with three others, one friend and me were in the same FFA game, the others somewhere else. We waited a while for a guild game, but nothing happened. When we went to FFA, it wasn't much fun with all the rubberbanding, bad hit detection, walkable bombs (or not) and general chaos. But if we were able to play, say, a 4 person FFA with all of us in the same game, we might try it again.

There's no way to join a game

There's no way to join a game with friends. Only with guild members (though good luck with that). :p

They do need to add a friend or party option. Let people group up with their friends, and all join together.

^ Agreed. Even friend-based

^ Agreed. Even friend-based free for all would be wonderful (although potentially exploitable, ie, everybody letting you win, etc - could be remedied by only allowing a certain number of friends in per game etc).

Maybe matchmaking could be tweaked so that friends get preference and more likely to join your game? I've been playing for hours and have yet to see anybody from my friend list.

Yeah, this is pretty

Yeah, this is pretty important. Being able to play with your friends is a key draw for PvP, particularly team based.

Perhaps the "Guild" option should be revised to say "Arranged Team" and should allow you to invite friends, guildmates, or other people to your team? Basically, just letting you select who your teammates are, and match you with other hand-picked teams.

Not every player has a guild, and not every player is in a guild with all their friends.

Completely agree. Add something please, I have yet to play once with someone from my friends list.

Thanks for the answers. Hard

Thanks for the answers. Hard to believe there isn't an option for playing with your friends from the start. I didn't understand the argument about abusing: Everyone has to pay the entry fee, so even if all agree to let one person win, the coin/crown ratio would be the same nevertheless.

Ah well, back to fighting down the spiral. Even though the high latency and stuttering are quite frustrating, the game is too much fun no to play it :-)
