    You need someone from your friend list for this. Before starting a quick or competitive game and already in the main menu, invite him or her either by the xbox guide or by pressing Y and highlighting the + icon in front of your name and rank and picking invite. As soon as he or she joined (you see another player icon besides yours) search for a game and you will get the achievement.

    You get +20%XP for playing this way.

    PeachTree87This achievement never unlocks. I play with another xbox player daily (who has it) we play in group on ow, have done it in a party, no party, I invite him, he invites me... no luck. I didn't play ow 1 on xbox either so I'm going to vote broken for some players just now

    XenahriIt only unlocks for new accounts. If you grandfathered your account (aka transfered it from OW1) then it won't unlock, you'd have to make a brand new account to unlock it.

    You can either add someone who is on your friends list already to your group, and play a game, or you can do something a little different and guarantees that you get this achievement.

    Play a game. Before the game ends, add any player on your team to your friends list, and then invite them to your group. The "Stay As Team" feature works as well. As long as the person you just added to your friends list joins the group, and go into another game, the achievement will pop.

    When playing a quick play game with someone on your friends list, you need to start a quick play game where you choose a role.

    If you select the any role game mode the achievement will not unlock.

    miguelenojadoSo it sounds like the account linking/unlinking would work but how would you go about the account cooldown? There's a year wait if you're to unlink your primary battle.net account from your Xbox profile.

    PerfectSkornI had the warning about a cooldown, but I think that is only for adding a different Xbox account to your Battle.net. It gave me no issues when I went to link the original Xbox account back to my original Battle.net account.
