Companions are now filling the spot of a real player. Was lead for FG1, couldn't start the queue for the 4th player since one in the group had a companion with them.

    I think that's how it works though? I've never had one personally, but recently that made a comment about that in a patch as well I think, but it probably should allow you to find a replacement and automatically unsummon any companion to prioritize players.

    They already prioritize real players. When a new player joins it unsummons them and havign a companion doesn't stop you from queuing.

    The game seems to prioritize companions. I've also discovered that if someone in a group has a companion out when a replacement for a dungeon is found using groupfinder, the game will prioritize the companion and repeatedly kick the 4th person out of the dungeon every time they try to port in until the companion is put away.

    This has been happening off and on since before the last update.

    Yep, I've been in this situation as a replacement. When I ported into the dungeon then got immediately kicked off from the dungeon until they manually unsummoned the companion.

    A friend on the weekend on ps4 had someone drop group. Someone else summoned a companion, that companion was booted when a human joined.
