I meant the bosses. I have a pure melee SW so I shouldn't cause much lag for anyone joining.

I am around level 130 and usually host a free world game if I am going to play. Unfortunately, I can usually wipe out the entire free world in about 30 minutes, so the games dont last that long. Normally if I host 4 games at 30 minutes each, no one will join. If I did this every night for 7 days straight, on one or two of the nights one random person might hop in one of my games, and then leave 2-5 minutes later with no interaction at all. After level 110-120 or so, there isn't much left to do other than grind for items or experience. Or, start another character. I play it because at this point I find the repetition and occasional reward of a higher level set item to be someone peaceful and calming. It also keeps me from spending money on anything else that might be equally un-productive.

Seems totally random to me, but my experience is below if it helps. I had issues with the game locking under the following circumstances. 1. Too many active side quests. 2. Having people follow you around from unfinished side quests. I am leaning more towards #1 being the primary cause than #2. My experience: Silver - activated very few side quests, didn't freeze much at all Gold - Activated quite a few side quests, but didnt complete many of them - froze quite a bit Platinum - Activated 1-2 side quests at a time, and completed them before activating more - froze a little, but not too much Niob - Activated no side quests unless I intended to finish them right away - rarely any freezes - maybe 1/50th of what I had on Gold. My system rarely freezes during free world play, I had most of the issues during campaign. It does freeze on occasion, but it is very rare in free world. Disable - Gore and Buff Effects - speeds up play a little, and keeps the system from having to display these constant effects. I never unplug my PS3, there is a power switch on the back of it similar to a computer. At least on my PS3 there is.

I had this happen to me a couple of times. It seems that there may be a bug with the Monoliths saving experience/Level stats. However, it does seem to save any items you have picked up or used, like potions and it also saves your location. It is odd, like it does a partial save of your location, but nothing else.

If you complete Platinum under your own campaign, you can then create NIOB games. But, you have to reactivate all of the teleporters.
