Why so hard to play with friends?

    Why does this game make it so hard to play with friends? I can't do missions with my bro unless neither of us have done the mission before. Even when we can do missions together we reach a boss fight and one of us gets locked out because it's a solo instance! How do you even know it's a solo instance? Why would you lock someone out anyway? I thought the whole point with a game like this was to play cooperatively. Why would you lock people out of a fight. There's so much i like about this game but some real head-scratching deal-breakers….

    I assume you're talking about the levelling missions? Basically look at levels 1-30 as a tutorial, those missions aren't designed to be accomplished with a team, they are solo missions (as are all level 1-30 missions excluding the early alerts).

    Just wait til you get to lvl30 and you and your bro will have more than enough group content to sink your teeth into.

    Even though you aren't sharing the mission, both of you will get experience and loot from the instance. One of you is rushing to the last boss faster than the other locking the other out of that fight. If you both enter the room at the same time you can both fight the boss.

    If you or your friend start the boss fight before the other is in the room there is usually a portal that will appear outside the door for a very short time allowing you to get into the room.

    When running towards the boss don't run in ahead, go in together. The leveling was more or less intended to be solo, its once you reach 30 that you play with groups.

    Thanks guys. Pity you've got to grind to 30 before it opens up but that's good to know!

    There is no repeating the storyline main missions in the context of the rewards. You can go back and do the content again, usually you need to for feats but once you complete the storyline of the mission its done. There is also the mentor missions only the person who has the mentor can do the storyline of the mission but you can group up for these missions.

    Almost everything in the game can be grouped up for, only the post level 30 Challenge Modes are solo only and wont let anyone go into it with you. The 1-30 leveling is pretty much soloable, there are only about 4 boss fights that you might need help with but even those have gotten easier sense they revamped the leveling system.

    Like MsJonzz said getting locked out of the boss fight is more of someone jumped the gun and started the fight before you were all in there.

    I don't see how you're having difficulty playing with your friend. My sister and I made twin characters (Sia Twins and Mese Twins) and are levelling them up at the same time and doing all the Circe missions at the same time.

    One of you is probably rushing ahead. Wait for your friend yeah?

    I try not to run with anyone level 1-30 other than helping others with Batman, Superman, or Wonderwoman (hero side) level 15 and the final mission for the initial part of the game. The reason being, you get Briefings and Investigation in those areas and it is the only way to get them...

    Thanks all, especially Owlman. My toon is a hero called John Spark and up for crime fighting good times.
    The boss that my bro was locked out of last night was Brother Eye. Did I just run in too fast or can you only solo a boss like that? I took him down without breaking a sweat it's just boring for the other person in your group.
