I don't believe this problem has been touched upon

Let me just point out, as of the update, a essential feature of going solo and kicking in a party has not been working.

---- Many times I get put into a party that is too weak and slows my progress down, as I am doing speed runs through the gates. now i CANT even go solo and im STUCK with bad players.

---- Likewise, when players with bare minimum of T2 gear join my party, I SHOULD have the authority to kick them if im the leader.

--- More importantly, I want to play with my friends/guildies. Once a party gets full, what am I to do?!?! Cant go solo.... cant kick....

Please PLEASE fix this immediately!

Thanks

=x I threw some hints out

=x I threw some hints out elsewhere but I thought the new patch fixed this, but looks like it didn't.

Another issue is that when you ARE allowed to go solo. The following issues occur:
If you try to invite someone on your friends list by clicking on them and pressing invite (instead of entering their name), you will get frozen in place for awhile. Enemies can attack you while this happens and you still won't be able to invite.

Anyone new that joins cannot be kicked. And you cannot go solo again. Neither can they (this second one was pre-yesterday's patch but I doubt that changed).

I don't mind working with random people, in fact, I enjoy it, but sometimes I have reasons to split the party or other things and a broken social...is ruining the social aspect in this game.

I agree with both tsengbang

I agree with both tsengbang and Negima =_=
Having other players (random/chosen) is a two-faced choice: you may find it funnier and easier to play one time, but have difficulties enjoying the run other times. Its just about balancing, and selecting with who you would team. Of course if you team up with seriously "bad" players, you would be tempted to head out solo; but on another hand again, if you team up with good players, you wouldn't want them to leave at all.
Personnally I do everything solo; not that I want to skip the social aspect of the game, but I believe it doesn't only concern trips down the strates.

The worst part about this bug

The worst part about this bug is when it is combined with the join party even though it is locked bug.

A question for NegimaSonic /GM

"Anyone new that joins [the party] cannot be kicked. And you cannot go solo again. Neither can they" -NegimaSonic

Is this [party] referring to the player who decided to "go solo"?

Scenario:
--- A party has players A, B, C, D
--- Player A doesn't like the party he is in. So he decides to "go solo"
--- The remaining players are B, C, D

Case1: Player C wants to leave as well and invite his buddies. Will he be able to do so?
Case2: Player A can NOT go solo another time. (true/false)

I wouldn't know since I've

I just joined a game (arena

I just joined a game (arena map) where there were a bunch of foreign people talking, and I was standing on the button and was kicked from the party within seconds. So I got teleported to the new map, and was killed within minutes because I had no one to back me up. When I checked the party settings, it was locked so that I was going solo... I'm also curious why I was put in a game with foreigners, when my General settings is to join with English-speaking people only.

So I encountered 1 or 2 bugs:
-Being kicked = going solo settings (which it shouldn't because I wanted to be in a party and have people join me)
-Joined what may have been a foreign server when my settings are for English

It annoys me when it's the game's fault for wasting my crowns and energy with its bugs and lag spikes, and is the reason why I don't intend to pay cash for this game to take a chunk of the energy I bought to waste on reviving and failed runs caused by bugs and lag.

This original bug has been

This original bug has been fixed, whatever happened to you is something entirely different.

Two things you don't seem to know:
1, if you are kicked, you retain the party settings of the person who kicked you. Yes it is possible to join a locked party because there is a glitch with that sometimes. So if you did join a locked party and they kicked you, your party would also be locked, but that's not a problem, you can unlock it yourself easily.
2, if you checked the setting, "party with any" that means you can join and be joined by foreigners with no warning. I keep that option enabled most of the time just because I don't really care. That option pretty much nulls the fact you are on an English server. But most of the time you won't join foreign parties anyway.
