Tried to get a coil party going for turn one last week, took an hour to get it set up and had at least two with shortcut to snake (so I didn't get to try ADS and get to see all the cutscenes for turn 1.) Was unsuccessful, but mainly the goal was to learn the fight.

Tried today (Friday) to get a party going, and it's now been four hours and I only have half a party.....and one has the shortcut to the snake so I won't get to do the ADS fight (again). Getting slightly annoyed with being unable to get a turn 1 party going.....why am I having this much of a problem?
