Hello! I really like Vermintide 2. It is one of my favorite games. But I also really hate elves and players who don’t care about others and put their whole party in danger just because they want green circles. (which are mostly elves) I seem to be disliked by a lot of players because of this fact. (since almost everyone plays elves) And it creates a toxic atmosphere. So please prevent all players who are not in my friend list from joining me. Bots are not perfect but I am more than capable to complete Legend QPs with all books with them and I actually like them more than the most people so it is ok. (I have to play QPs because of daily/weekly quests) I think it’s not good for the community to try to add random people to my game. This is my profile. > **[Steam Community :: Zin](https://steamcommunity.com/id/Zinnnnnn)** > > Kill elves! ːchugːːdwarfsymbolːːchugː ---

Before you start a game, and even while you’re hosting a game, you can set your matchmaking to private. It’s an option in the mission book and in the tab menu when you’re in a game. Setting your lobby to private will only allow your friends to join. ---

I know that but it does not work with QPs and even with the " [Host your own game](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1495937978&searchtext=)" mod people usually join before the mission even starts and allows you to make it private in the tab menu. ---

Unfortunately I don’t think you can start a private Quickplay match. You can definitely do it with a Custom Game. ---

I cannot complete this while playing Custom Games sadly… So I am forced to be confronted with randoms which means careless elves mostly… ![obrazek](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/fatshark/original/3X/3/b/3b6040601d41e6544698567b108b6a818c4a5b50.jpeg) ---

If you don’t like playing with random people then don’t do the quickplay weeky. 50 shillings is nothing. ---

Despite saying “private”, it is actually “friends only”. Steam friends can join your lobby at any time, even without an invite.

I am posting this just as reference for the devs. I have dialogues like this almost every Quick Play I play. I am trying to be polite as possible but elves are always angry anyway. I don’t think it’s good for the community. ![1](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/fatshark/original/3X/b/9/b961c16011c39798772f933bf2fa8a8b650af830.jpeg) ---

… Sir. It is indeed unfortunate to have birds sh\*t on your bike/car/person regularly, no one sane should be happy when that happens to them. But if you run outside and start flying a iron reinforced kite tethered to a metal wire during a thunderstorm…then it is not the neighbors’, the doctors’ or even the crapping birds’ fault you got zapped. I seriously suspect you´d have a more positive pleasant experience if you…did not do such things? ---

On this subject, private game option for weaves next time you patch this. The only reason I haven’t touched it is my inability to play them with with 1-2 friends or even by myself. ---

If you dislike elves so much as you won’t play with them, I think you’re gonna have a hard time reaching your QP goal in this game without a pre-made… That said, we do have a functionality that should kick into place when you block someone in Steam so they can’t join your games as mentioned above.
