People are having a really hard time joining their friends on LBP3. It's at least twice as hard to actually join someone than it was in LBP2.

But, I've found a way to help that a bit. one thing is letting people join you when your either in pod or in create mode with low thermo and lag ( obviously ). But the one thing that almost no one thinks of, is resetting your costume to default. I found that this helps significantly , and it works even better when the costumes are reset on both ends.

Just a tip I thought i'd share .
