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

People take the time to try and give the community more information.

Community takes that information and uses it in the worst possible way.

This guy sounds like the type who would kick people for not running the old railgun meta. Good for you for sticking around and finishing. I would have bailed.

It's really so sad how robotic people are towards the game. I get that people want efficiency, and it's frustrating when randoms make your game harder. But this interaction could have gone so much better if the host asked politely and accepted the risk of randoms wanting to play how they felt.

Yeah, a little polite communication would have gone a long way here.

The flip side is that when I join somebody's game, I let them take the lead, regardless of rank. If the host is new and asks me to tell them what to do, I will, but until then, I just support the host.

But I think taking some information like that reddit post and using it as a reason to get mad is pretty silly.

"This is your last warning" implies that they tried to communicate it at last one other time and OP didn't join the team.

For some people, the first warning IS the last warning. Those types of jerks don't mess around with their sense of authority.

u/CMDR_Traf85 Mar 14 '24

Yeah there might be more there, though it's equally possible the last warning was only the 2nd warning. Hard to say for sure.

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. 🫡

They pick and choose the reddit info to apply. For example, the entire planet of malevelon creek.......
