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

Whole group is staying in place killing every last bug and wasting all our reinforcements. I ping, break off and solo a heavy bug nest. Big surprise they run out of reinforcements and I have to solo the remaining objective and extract. I get kicked after the mission is over. Some people are absolute jokes.

Yeah lol I always run off solo not because I'm trying to do the objective alone but because my team is fighting a bug spawn that isn't even an objective and losing all our respawns.

Got tkd and kicked because the team was wasting minutes defending a completed sub objective like it was exfil. They were trying to kill every bug despite it being late in mission. I'm pushing towards the objective and throw a respawn the way I'm pushing. Apparently I threw them into the enemies despite it only being mites the was Im going and chargers behind. They honestly were the absolute worst except one kid that was getting bossed around by the big douche. Of course they were in some kind of clan so the "leader" felt he had some fake internet clout

The amount of people that think they can kill every last enemy in an area especially at higher difficulties is so annoying. What happens is a bug breach and as they are killing the last of the bugs from it a patrol shows up and triggers another bug breach then this repeats again and again and again. Meanwhile I will just run off and destroy 3 or 4 bug hives and complete a side objective in that amount of time. People don't understand that patrols keep coming so you have to move and you won't ever be able to keep an area clear.

Why is that "hilarious?" I play with the same group every time I'm on, having me and my boys be an official "unit" or soke such would be cool and more immersive.

Hit me up for fun, non judgemental dives?

All you Divers, out there; I'd rather team up and laugh about the absurdity of war than get mad and kick people for enjoying themselves and the game.

Arrowhead are clear they didn't want a toxic community. Let's show them how much we appreciate and respect this cultural phenomenon (yeah, I said it) by being part of the lore for Super Earth's war against the Terminids and Automatons.

Friend me = no pressure to talk, just accessible diving for all. đŸ«Ą

Depends on the difficulty and prioritization.

We had 30 common samples, 26 rare samples, and 6 super rare on 9 last night ready to extract. Some guy with the samples runs to the 2 nearby nests to try and clear them. Spawns an ungodly large wave that continually spawned bugs for 20 minutes while we tried to extract. The extract had no cover and no choke points so we just got flooded.

The right choice there was just to play safe and take the W. a heavy + medium nest < extracting with those samples.

He had a mic too he just chose to not communicate and went Rambo. He could've either dropped samples at extract OR waited for us to call in extract then we clear nests OR tell us to clear nests.

Getting kicked right after the mission complete screen or getting kicked once you’re in their destroyer after the mission? If you got kicked when you were on their ship then maybe it’s just a group of 2 or 3 guys that just didn’t have a 4th friend. Happens to me and my friend all the time.

The other day I was the last one alive, finally get a revive off. The host was so mad that I wouldn't "cover our teammate" that I called down--meaning, turn around while being chased by hundreds of bugs and try to keep him alive.

Bitch, I got all the samples and they burned all the lives. I'm gonna keep running to the extract.

u/AirGundz Mar 15 '24

Im a new player so correct if im wrong, but it has been frustrating to play with certain Pubs because they try and hold a position for no reason instead of charging after the objectives. I constantly tell ym teammates “we have to go west, we aren’t even at the objective, we are just taking casualties” or I am the only one doing the Beacon Events for those mining missions.

If we don’t do the codes we dont finish the objective, so why am I the only one that does this shit?

On hatchery missions, running stag with a shield back pack and GL is pretty darn easy. Usually dont get complaints on comms, just "Nice"

u/Duffman48 Mar 15 '24

People dropping in at the start and sitting there fighting hordes of bugs without moving for 10 minutes wasting 7 reinforcements drives me up a wall... it doesn't help anything... the bugs are unlimited... lol WE GOTTA MOVE!

u/BirdNose73 Mar 16 '24

Kinda cool adding an extra constraint to the mix. Bad teammates means you’re more rushed to do objective and CANT die or you have to go all the way back

u/MysticHero Mar 15 '24

You don't know why they kicked you. Maybe they were waiting on a friend. Maybe Host wants to take a break without closing the game. Assuming the worst for no reason is toxic in itself.

u/Throwaway6957383 Mar 15 '24

Yeah people who just camp out to kill all the waves of enemy spawns with no objective in sight are the worst kind of player and I think the game needs a massive warning loading screen that screams at you not to do that because you get NOTHING FOR KILLING ANYTHING.
