[Couch-Coop] Endgame Maps not Accessible

Okay, we know it's a beta and yes, this is a fine game.

But.

Are you guys serious? Advertising couch coop like something you are playing yourself and then delivering this? It looks like you've tested the first 2 and a half acts to showboat around and that's it.

We've now eventually reached endgame after playing for hours each day, using up vacation time, just to now not even being able to play maps (decently). Why? Because only player 1 can use and activate the map (like many other things), but due to weird circumstances your system forces player 2 to be the group leader. The very same group leader that solely is allowed to activate said maps. But can't, due to not being player 1. And the system message stating that you can change group leader isn't very helpful if there is no option at all in said menu to do so.

The only way to actually get onto maps is logging out, log player 1 in only, activate the map, log out, log both players in, connection loss / game crash, log both players in, play the map. Every. F-ing. Time.

I am sorry for this maybe quite emotional "bug-report", but both of us invested over 230 hours of our time, endured bug over bug, bad graphics over bad graphics, found work-around over work-around. For this? Seriously?

Even the other exile-like game managed to provide a better couch-coop experience. Since their "beta".

Same issue here. 2 of our characters can play together on maps just fine.
When I try and play my alt the wrong character becomes group leader and we cannot run maps with that pairing of characters.

That is terrible... and even if you make this login/logout workaround, if a P2 - party leader dies, P1 tries to play on but after a minute game crashes and you can't teleport back in.

GGG - FIX THIS SHIT! Why did you even let such bullshit happen? its just crazy! I have spent so much money on your game, that I have the right to ask - WTF?
I love POE 1, but POE 2 is a disaster with such bugs! Me and my son are so upset about such gameplay! And don't even start talking about Beta stuff, such shit should not be even on BETA
