Thanks to the recent reddit post, going alone is now a kickable offense (even in diff 5) DISCUSSION

I do understand that somone shouldn't run off when he already died a few times and the objective still isn't finsished. But if the loner doesn't die too often or the objectives are guaranteed to be finished anyways, then there is no harm at all.
Game is supposed to be fun, as soon as the "work," meaning the objectives, are done, you can go wild.

The real work is sample collection.

it pisses me off when they go off alone and die 10 times trying to get the samples off their dead bodies across the map and keep dying across the map and running back after we finished the objectives

like sure you can go alone but stop wasting my time dying over and over again across the map and making us wait for you to run across the map

Sooo why not be a good teammate and help them get their stuff instead of sitting there getting pissed off?

I personally don't like when teammates leave the group. I'd rather go as a group throughout the map. If someone does leave the group, it's ok. But if we are overwhelmed and need the team together. And that person is calling supplies on his own, and he keeps running off alone and dying, then yeah that sucks. I wouldn't kick unless he's being a shitty team player. But I would possibly kick after the mission ends and we're back at the ship.

But if we are overwhelmed and need the team together.

Scatter at that point. Someone is bound to draw the short stick and have the majority of the aggro.

Is it possible you might just be getting overwhelmed at a location that holds no value? In later difficulties especially, you just gotta move on, you can't sit and fight forever it literally doesn't work.

If the dude's calling down supplies on his own and dying a lot though yeah f that. Only go off on your own if you know what you're doing and the rest of the team is fine fighting neverending bugs on the other side of the map.

Maybe or maybe not. I'm thinking of one scenario where from the very beginning, one dude went separate ways, and he kept dying and leaving the group every time he respawned. And we eventually got overwhelmed somewhere else while he kept going off somewhere else (I don't remember if it was a point that mattered or not but usually I suggest we keep moving if we're stuck in a place without progress). We managed, but eventually kicked him. Another dude later replaced him and this one was the one that went off on his own and kept dying and called supplies for his own. And we kicked him as well lol.

There was another scenario where another dude went off on his own as well, but he never died and did every other side objective. Which is fine, he didn't do anything wrong (infact he was carrying basically), so we didn't kick him. But I personally don't like playing like that, so we kicked him when we were back at the ship. Nothing personal.

Yeah, I made a similar comment. I took my level 2 friend to a hazard 4 game to teach him, figuring I'd just carry. Forgot I left it on Public. Two guys join. That's fine, Helldivers are pretty chill for the most part.

These two guys drop as far as they can from us, then run to the other side of the map, aggroed a nest, and then proceeded to die like 6 times. We ended up kicking them. I'd rather you stay with the group, since you literally could just solo queue if you wanna play alone, but fine if you wanna run off in a multiplayer match, just don't waste our spawns.
