Just going to give a summary with this one, because it’s just an issue with connecting to a game at precisely the wrong moment. I guess that’s essentially the TL;DR.
I’ve had people load in during the first descent into Skittergate. I’ve had players join during the descent into the button puzzle on Convocation. I’ve also had people join on the ride up into the middle of Righteous Stand’s elevator.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen, let alone been the victim of, loading into a game during an elevator ride and not been synced to where the elevator was. I guess it’s not as ironed out as I assumed. I guess it’s also a warning for all the players who ask bots to grab the first books in a level
