I joined a game. level 18. it loaded me on level 10 and they kicked me cus obviously id take awhile going up 8 levels.. hosted one, someone joined, they started a few levels behind as well automatically.. makes the host having to wait for them to catch up when it isn't their fault..

alternately, i think being able to make it so the players above can choose to go ahead without the behind player could help in this. as I've definitely had moments where the host would kick me just because they were already at the elevator and didn't want to wait for me to get there after just joining, while being spawned on the same level

Maru Seawolf: Yeah this is something worth looking into. Like adding a teleport in 2 player for when players fall too far below.

Nap: If you're patient it isn't much of a problem, i know what it was like waiting for people to catch up in TJ&E1.
though I have had a game recently where 2-3 were in the elevator and the 4th player was oblivious to being able to teleport to us.
other such situations, like players taking time farming for presents while others sit in the elevator, make me feel like just having the option to go up before the other person, 
or a toggle before the game starts to let the elevator take someone to a higher level without everyone else would be great.
especially when endless mode gets added, you could have someone join as a character, and then a new person join later picking up where another left off, could end up many levels under.
The easy teleport function is fine, but at times i feel like it takes away from the necessity of togetherness presents or amped express elevator presents.
another idea in this vein would be to have higher drop rates for catch-up presents for people many levels lower but i dunno.
There have been many times where i thought allowing people to go ahead without would be nice, but i also think i understand why it was left similar to the way it was in TJ&E1, 
Some people just don't have that patience anymore though lest you "slow'em down" and they kick you, when they had online enabled lol. when I generally feel i could catch up to the other player.  Sorry this comment ran a bit long~

The one that you hosted was there a player in the match already that left and then the other player that joined behind some levels as the same character?
