Xbox One - Unable to Invite friends without quitting, no pre-game lobby, no switching teams

Looks like the dashboard update mostly resolved everything except games not auto-populating when people leave, cheers!

Xbox One
When playing the game with an already established party, it seems that one invite is sent when a player enters matchmaking. The invite goes out to all party members, party members accept the invite, and the game begins. 


1) If a new player joins the party, there is no option to have them join in progress. 

There is no invite sent to the new player. The new player can't "join in progress" with any of the friends currently playing. Existing players can't access the Friend's profile and send them an invite, before, during, or in-bween rounds. 

Is this going to change, pending the new Titanfall dashboard update?

 

Resolved with new Dashboard update

2) If a party enters a server together, no priority is given to the party being placed on the same team.

There is an RB button to switch teams. I'm a dummy. Sometimes you have to wait a few rounds, but that's perfectly acceptable
 

No auto-balancing occurs as other players join or leave the game. If the game doesn't place you onto the team that includes your friends, it never will. This has been proven across all MP game modes, and many sequential rounds where no auto-balancing occurs. This coincides with issue #1 as mentioned above, since you can't even quit and rejoin after you see people leave (aka, the BF4 trick)

 

The lack of friend grouping makes Garden's and Graveyards immensely less enjoyable than it should be.

 

3) The game does not regularly populate unbalanced teams with new players after a game is in progress.

If a large number of players quit, and no new players are added to a game in progress, the gameplay balance is adversely affected. 

I played a game that started unbalanced, continued that way as more players left, and ended up as a 2 on 1 game before finally quitting

This still happens

    I've had no problems playing with friends so far.  Being in the same chat party gives us prompts to join each other when any of us queue up for a match and if we're on separate teams we each try to switch with the RB button to get on the same team.  I can imagine that it would get difficult if you're trying to get 4 or 5+ people on the same team, but I don't really feel bad for you if that's the case because you're just trying to get easy wins by steamrolling groups of randoms with an organized group.

    I feel like a dummy, because I never saw that option on the character select screen, in my excitement to get back to the action I completely overlooked it

    The idiocy of this statement is hilarious:
    " I don't really feel bad for you if that's the case because you're just trying to get easy wins by steamrolling groups of randoms with an organized group."

    As if teamwork in a team based game isn't the point of the whole thing. 

    I enjoyed your useless and judgemental comments, as well as your flawed statement that basically infers that because it doesn't happen to you, that it's not an issue for other people.

    This will obviously be hard for you, but try to step off your haughty ledge there, and understand that maybe I have an actual friends group that comprises more than 4 or 5 people, and we like to play team based games together.

    Shocker.

    We're not always on at the same time, but frequently there all of us are on at the same time during weekends. We may be the exception to the rule, but that's
