    How does the old saying go? If it's not broken then don't fix it?

    The 360's party system was simple, yet effective. It does a superb job and does it well. No effort, no hassle. So why was this not implemented into the xbox one?

    I'm finding the xbox one party chat feature to be nothing but trouble and quite frankly a joke. I've searched for fixes, I've searched for patches, I've searched for info to see if MS have even acknowledged how bad it is.

    It's the worst set up ever. My problem is as follows (and shared amongst many other I imagine) I cannot be in a party chat, and play separate games online without it attempting to drag the party in with me. For example, I'm in a party of 6 playing battlefield
    4 (which we all know has issues),I have decided after a few games I wish to play RYSE:Son of Rome, ONLINE. In my party of 6 I cannot!! It only supports parties of two. The solution? I have to leave the party and play online and lose the interaction with friends
    because you won't let me join any online game whilst I'm in a party with them all. IF there's just two of us in the party and I chose to play ryse son of rome online, I can't even get into a game or even search because you automatically invite the other party
    member, regardless of what game he's playing and whether he has Ryse son of Rome or not. Again, the only solution is to leave the party and search on my own. The same applies to assassins creed 4!!

    Microsoft/xbox, your party system is a disgrace to your usual high standards and a huge step backwards. You've basically taken away the abilities that it offered you on the older 360 console. You've taken away the ability to play different games than your
    friends yet all stay in a party together and communicate and have fun.

    I ask if this is normal? Was this meant to be like it is? Or is it broken completely and being fixed to make it work the way it did on the 360? Unfortunately I cannot afford to buy a playstation 4, nor would I of even thought of it as xbox was always my
    preffered choice. But now, I've just had enough. Any info on a fix would be great. If anyone wishes to argue with me or call me names etc, then feel free, I couldn't care less and long as I get some help and some answers.

    :)

    Constantly having party chat issues

    I tried to party up with a friend tonight and play some Halo. After an hour trying to get the party to workout we both just gave up. Xbox live and party was great for the 360, simple, clean, easy to use. Ever since I got the Xbox One on day 1 it has be nothing
    short of pulling teeth to try and get a party going with your friends and enjoy the games. Its been over a year and we are still having the exact same issues from day 1. Awful just awful.

    The xbox one party feature is awful and unnaceptable

    The feedback has been heard with the dissatisfaction of the party system. Do a simple Google search and you can read the numerous articles and interview with MS personnel. They are working on an update. No official word on release date, but the articles
    cite "soon" The xbox one party feature is awful and unnaceptable :D

    For now, relax and enjoy the games. Worst case is you all can use Skype and play separate games until the patch releases!

    The Party System is Trash on the ONE. If you dig enough you will find that the party system failed multiple times during the beta testing and yet nothing was done. The Same system that failed almost every test including consumer testing is the one that everyone
    now has on there systems. It is a complete joke of how Microsoft went about this. Then after thousands of complaint nothing has been done. I understand your frustration. As said below I starting using Skype since everyone I talk to already has a Skype(Do to
    the fact dark souls had no party chat option). Skype is free and for now runs much better then the joke of a system that the party chat has become!!!

    I can appreciate that they know of the poor party chat system and are "trying to fix it" but do you/they not think it's only fair that we the consumer who have spent half a grand on this console, get to be given a rough idea of when this will be sorted.
    Its poor customer service to be honest and rather un professional. Don't improve it or change things, just make it the same way as the 360...simple. It's not rocket science.

    Xbox Play and Charge kit; does it come with everything?

    Yes you should stick with an official charge kit. Most third party ones are awful.
