Allowing friends on Xbox geo filter


Recommended Posts

When I’m on destiny, what will cause my friend to ping on my map to allow them? Is it when they join my party chat, or my game lobby? I’d like to allow them so the party doesn’t drop out.

Either one should make them appear on the map, they just need to make some sort of connection to you. Make sure you zoom out fully on the map and check quickly as it can disappear fast

And it can be anywhere? If they are in New York, it can show up anywhere? I’ve tried this and see nothing. Can I fully zoom out on the app? I had a friend join the party and game and I was in the lobby and I got multiple people popping up. E590F1B3-F7AE-47EA-BD98-1E839C427C0B.thumb.png.61702e73b5539608ed8dbe1595372d18.png11FEE60F-BB6C-4A2A-B735-F2E420DA9F9D.thumb.png.42bbb68ff58a362afa2f2c115afa30f3.png

Yes they can do but do look around where they're supposed to be first. Were you in the tower here? If so go to the actual menus when you first load up the game, if you already were then add them to a private chat on the dashboard and only they should appear.

I was in orbit so I should have been connected to nobody.

Is this not something you could do to help connect to friends only? Get their IPs from a private match then use you're settings to only allow them? 

We've had a request to allow people to enter IPs into allow/deny so once implemented you could do that yes but not currently.

You’re onto something! @Netduma Fraserwhen is this happening? So I can match make and only find my friend?

We don't have a specific time when this will happen but it shouldn't be to difficult to do. Well you would still need to connect to a game server so unlikely you could do that. Just easier to allow them
