Hi there fellow sack people! I need your help!

For the god knows how many weeks, I have tried to collect ALL LBP2 story mode bubbles, and obvisouly to do that, you need to play online (or have enough controllers and people offline to help you, which I don't!).

I keep trying to join other people, AND EVERYONE REFUSES ME!!! WHY!!! I'm a nice guy!!! 

Please please can some people help me get these multi-sackboy bubbles. And for kind help, I PROMISE to PLAY, RATE and HEART your levels :-)

I'm often online from (UK) 8pm - 10pm.

LBP2 is stupid. When it tries to connect you with other players, it doesn't bother to check whether they have the 'allow other people to join me' option set to Yes or Ask Me. So it will automatically try to hook you up with people whose option is set to No.

To make matters worse, the network code used to struggle enormously (now it only struggles a lot) so a lot of people gave up on the on-line multiplayer until such a time as it is fully resolved. Which many people don't think it is. So there are a lot of people with the option set to 'No'.

These two things conspire against you. Get some friends together and try again. Almost all the bubbles in LBP2 can be obtained by one or two people with four joypads between them (if you're just one person, a bit of sellotape also helps... ).

I do agree with the multiplayer online not quite being right yet. I let someone join me, then I tried playing a level, choosing "join us", as soon as the level started, I kept getting error, game diverged...or something! Strange!! I had to quit the whole game (going back to the PS3 home screen) then go back into LBP2!!

I think your right, maybe my best chance is getting a few mates together to get them to help me :-)

I, too, need help getting the last of the bubbles. im only missing 2% (exactly) of the bubbles. It also sucks because I have 3 controllers and need one more. Hopefully someone could help me.
