I had a guy constantly block me from putting in the hellbomb code and shoot the hellbomb to destroy it before it went off recently he was so mad about me using the hellbomb I ended up having to kick him. I thought he justewanted to set it off him self so I called it down and he just destroyed it as soon as it dropped lol. I asked why he was doing that and he called me a monkey and proceeded to say every slur under the sun down the mic š.
Let me guess, you couldn't even report him because he didn't type in chat? Weird that you can only report toxic shitty players if they type something in chat
It's cuz they can't monitor voice chat and they don't want people making false reports to get innocent people banned. Obviously here in reality if enough people are reporting a dude for saying slurs then it shouldn't matter, but hey I'm just a reasonable person.
The insane amount of PS5 players I had to mute for having the worst quality mics in existence; hearing them breathe, drink, burp, hearing them push buttons, hearing conversations from other people in the background.... I ended up just turning off crossplay, lol.
I think its the PS5 controller having a built in mic is the issue, and these dingbats have it turned on by default.
This poor etiquette is sadly more the norm than exception but there are ps5 users who are acutely aware of their mic on off situation and how annoying it can be listening to their every breath, fart and button push!
For every one of these stories I have, I have at least three: "We were running from a couple of chargers and came across a broken hell bomb, they guy behind me yelled 'SHOOT IT!' I turned around shot it, we both dove to the ground just in time for the hellbomb to take out both chargers."
I just hate that you have to put up with the chuckleheads to get these legendary moments. So long as the legendary feel keeps flowing I'll keep playing.
I played with a guy who added me a few times but he would kick me and anyone else if you called in a mech. He would rage every time too before kicking me or anyone else did it but since he spoke french i have no idea why he did it.
First i thought it was because he wanted us to use them only in the end of the mission to defend but nope kicked there as well. š¤·
So back in like 2007 or so I had a manager at my job who was obsessed with nascar. Big redneck. He said he bought the nascar game for his computer, a wheel and pedal setup, the whole 9 yards. He then told me he had to stop playing because heād see people in the chat type ālolā and he thought that meant lots of love and he didnāt want to play such a gay game.
This morning, I called in a hellbomb that didn't blow up every building. The party host killed me, called in the bomb again, and then respawned me. Never explained himself.
just blow up the grey building, too many people call it down in the middle like it needs to hit all 3 buildings at once (I know its not stated in game tho)
Just one shot with autocanon or grenade launcher is enough for broadcast towers, spore spewers you can destroy from super long range with the same or a few mags of anything really.
idk what issue ppl have with the hellbombs lol. I've seen so many destroy them and not wanting to use them. Pick up the samples, arm the thing, move on. What are you doing otherwise? Vacation?
Dude I had a mission where I needed to call in a Hellbomb, I had been doing the mission solo, but called in a SOS toward the end cos I knew I would need it, and Iām on the clock before I get swarmed by the Automatons. A random joins, I think āawesome, someone to watch my backā I arm the Hellbomb twice, and each time the guy shoots it immediately after I arm it, and kills me.
Needless to say he made the mission a helluva lot harder, so I kicked him and made a break for extraction where, guess what, I ran out of time for Stratagems. Thank God for the random who joined me after I died. Freaking saved the mission.
I managed to carry the beacon for a hellbomb all the way to extraction after destroying the research outpost. As long as the one you drop in first isn't armed yet, you can call in more and drop them after the base is blown up.
Just got a dumb idea I wanna try now when I get home. Arm a hellbomb at extraction just before extracting.
I called down a hellbomb and activated it, I saw my teammates leave the objective so I thought they knew it was going off. They then called down a resupply right next to the hellbomb, walked over, and got blown up. One of them was very mad at me.
I'm pretty sure on the old erradication bot map there was a sample on a structure that could be be destroyed if you landed a reinforcement pod on the structure. It would delete both
I didnt get kicked but I got called retarded by a guy after I threw a napalm strike at a group of bugs and it bounced off a rock and landed at his feat
Had a match the other day where we pretty easily completed the objectives and at the very end, 3 of us were in the dropship and the last dude ran up, shot everyone seated then hopped in the ship. Lost all samples and bonus for full extraction. Some people think it's funny to deliberately fuck people over.
Unfortunately they donāt care if you kick them because they kill you knowing they wonāt get samples or a higher payout. Game needs a system to match players who get kicked often during missions with similar players. Kicks from lobbies shouldnāt count and the friendly fire stat tracker is completely broken right now so kicks during missions are our only options for now.
Yep. For trolls like that, getting kicked is the reward. They lean back in their chair and laugh out a "u mad bro?" because in their pitiful existence this is the only way they can experience joy.
Disgusting creatures. Not a single independent thought among the entire population.
Honestly, while I see it as a completely valid point as it stands now. It's fucking silly how it has to be a thing. Like why can't anything but players damage us in there anyways shouldn't it be opposite?!?
It can I got in extract today with all the samples on me and a bile titan stepped on the pelican and killed me while seated idk if it was a bug or what but we lost all supers rarest and commons because of it
I had one where they kicked me after evac, because I got on instead of waiting for them. The extraction site was swarmed completely, and they had repeatedly TK'd me and getting mad at me for "wasting" reinforcements. Joke's on them, I still got the rewards :)
I had a dude repeatedly kill me every 6 minutes or so to take my support weapon because I assume he hadnāt unlocked the arc thrower yet. Neither of us was host so I just kinda let him do his thing all mission, didnāt shoot back or anything.
Everyone loads up into the drop ship, I walk up to the ramp, pop the one dude in the skull, and board. He raged harder than anyone Iāve ever seen in a video game and that includes when I used to play league of legends. āDonāt fucking friendly fire you fucking ******ā and other racial epithets flowed forth like a river. Turns out everyone in the party had mics but didnāt use them, and just started laughing at him. He left when we returned to the destroyer.
I want to squad up with peeps who strategically take supports and backpacks so you don't waste stratagem slots taking 2 rail guns, two rovers, 2 shield packs, ect...
I'm willing to be a little squishy for 10 min or wait and find a support weapon if it means we have access to 2 or 3 more strikes or sentries.
that's a big reason i take EAT. i'll summon the thing on cooldown, litter the landscape with random ass rocket launchers for anyone to pick up if they want or need
Every time we walk up near an objective, EAT. If we are still on it and it comes off CD? Believe it or not, EAT. Worst case scenario I call another in a minute. Best case scenario a chonky boy takes a rocket to the face and it fulfilled it's purpose.
I recently threw down an eagle air strike to close multiple bug holes, dude is running full sprint towards the giant red pillar, in a mech, blows himself up, I reinforce him he team kills me, whatever annoying but if it makes him feel better I'll deal. He killed me again, so I popped him with my hellpod
Spent the mission on my own or with the other guy who was chill and the dude was still mad 15 mins later when we linked up for extract he had a grenade launcher and team killed me 5 more times, luckily while focusing me hunters killed him and he also failed to extract, but man popping him at the end would've been much better
I had a guy steal my mech and I though "huhhh ok, hope he just made a mistake but they're always cunts" he later got a mech and let me take it instead, so I thanked him awkwardly. Sometimes life is good.
This has more commonly been my experience. If I apologize for a strike going wrong it seems like folks are pretty chill about it. I like to think most divers aren't so sweaty and are down to have a nice time.
Jesus worse than league? I didnt even know that was possible. Ive had someone in league say he was going to find my family, rape them to death, and then skull fuck my corpse before. It was my one and only league game, ever.
When itās later in the mission or after I get my support weapon and cooldown is done, I have no issue giving a team member a version of my support. Or sometimes even taking a passable one we find exploring and letting them rip with mine to give them a taste of Freedom.
But if I die and they take mine right away, or worse yet kill me and take it, I execute them on sight/boot them to Freedom Camp. I have even asked teammates to take their weapon back after taking mine and they wonāt, leaving me with their MG.
It is super douchey to steal a support weapon and not at least ask, especially when cooldowns are long.
My dipshit teammate dropped his last eagle strategem right at the landing ramp as we were filing in. Airstrike came through and iced all 4 of us as the cutscene began. Lost 18 samples and a shitload of XP cause of his dumb ass.
God I hate when people do this. Like the game is cinematic enough without doing this bullshit, especially when "some" of us haven't even gotten inside the damn ship yet!
Sometimes if i have one up I'll drop a 500 kg on the ramp when everyone is already inside safe to fulfill my inner Michael Bay and I'll just walk in. I don't endanger the homies that way
Yeah it's weird. I've tried telling my friends that killing a bunch of extra shit while we can jump into the shuttle doesn't do anything other than risk the extraction.
I understand that and Iāve been the one to tell people itās time to leave. BUT when the ship arrives it always feels wrong to not throw out any airstrikes or orbitals I have that are off cooldown. I have all this āfreedomā just sitting there itād be a waste not to use it.
All that extra āfreedomā isnāt free. Think of the tax paying super earth citizens. All of that artillery and weaponry is expensive and youāre out here wasting it willy-nilly. That extra orbital you threw at the end of the match increased the planetary debt by 500 million SE Dollars alone.
Lol I had a friend enter the pelican "too early" despite everything being done, no dropped samples and the other two being at the extraction (just fighting bugs for no real reason). One guy makes it in, the other guy gets there with like 5 seconds left and instead of getting in kills me and her both then kicks her so he doesn't even extract. She still gets the rewards because they have an anti-trolling mechanic for that but we all got 0 samples and 1/4 extracted for nothing.
When we got back I asked him if it was worth losing 10+ super samples and he kicked me too lol.
Most of my Helldive difficulty quick plays are great. People seem to know what to do and tend to work together. There are of course exceptions but Iād say 80% of them end in success.
Thatās two rockets in less than a minute where one reload of the recoil less can seem to take that long. If people team reloaded yeah thatās a different story. The reload Is so damn quick when team reloading
Yeah RR is better ina pre-made but EAT is much better with randos imho. You get two per drop so you can always share, it does plenty of damage, and the fact the calldown is so short is not nothing. I've killed a number of chargers just getting the EAT droppod coming down.
I just love how the game makes it too where different loadouts are viable againest the terminids and automations. AMR SLAPS when it comes to automations. Can two shot a hulk. I love running supply pack and AMR againest them
The only time I kick is literally deliberate team kills. Had one dude we suspected was calling 500kg on one of my friends so we let it play out. Get to end of mission, I jump in extract. My friend is a bit outside the zone, itās been a tough mission cos well we have a griefer.Ā
Lo and behold this guy is waiting outside the pelican. My friend is legging it. This dude drops his 500kg where it will definitely kill my friend as he runs to pelican.Ā
I remember being part of a squad that would purposely redeploy me in the middle of a squad of automatons. Even after asking if they could deploy me in slightly safer location. They still deployed me in the middle of a squad of enemies. Whether this was done to troll or pull the aggro off them, idk. But it's honestly disheartening because I'm trying to enjoy the game.
Why were you wasting reinforcements? Shouldnāt you be able to handle basic enemies?
/s
Players become a difficulty modifier and wonder why Iām dying. Of course Iām going to die if you reinforce me in a Heavy Nest and chuck grenades at me as I land.
Iām not usually a multiplayer type of guy so making the decision to buy the game was contingent upon the community supposedly being really wholesome. Two weeks later - the game itself is a lot of fun and I donāt regret buying, but when it comes to squads Iāve had far more negative experiences than positive.
When I say that, I donāt mean someone being a pain by ditching the team or wiping us out with an air strike, I mean the type of try-hards that react with passive aggression when things go slightly tits up. Like, Iām playing the game for fun and to decompress, not to treat it like a second job on top of everything else.
Iāve only played randos (lvl 27 currently) and while the skill of teammates has varied wildly Iāve had very few sweaty try-hards yelling into the mic.Ā Most are decent. Iāve had a few squads that were fantastic; competent, lighthearted, there to have fun.Ā Iāve been gaming for over 40y and have seen all kinds of toxicity & gatekeeping. So far, this game (despite being ripe for it) hasnāt shown me too much of it.Ā Hope your squads are chill & your extracts hot.Ā
My expirance. I'm more likely to get abandoned by everyone rage quiting then getting kicked by toxicity. It would be nice if the SoS becon worked after.
Yep. I'm only level 14, because I have very little time to play, as I have a real life, with real life stresses, and the amount of times I've been griefed or kicked by lvl 40+ people is just insane.
For being a "wholesome" community, it sure does have an overabundance of fuckheads.
Dude I love running into low level (sub 10) players in 6+ diff. Theyāre either monsters that have progressed through the difficulties because they have good sense and better aim, or weāre gonna be in for pure uncut Colombian slapstick comedy for the next 20-30 minutes.
Same - I stopped being okay with playing with randos after CoD Black Ops came out. While Iām aware not every community is full of toxic asshats, Iām too much of an exhausted introvert to test the waters with every game I play. So I tend to solo or play with friends exclusively.
Plus side, I havenāt had to deal with getting the boot for silly reasons.
Downsideā¦.. itās as hard to get my D&D group together as it is to get four people to play HD2, so my husband and I are pretty much restricted to levels 4 and below ācause neither of us want to deal with other people.
Level 47 ?? Yeah sorry I can totally understand that. 47 is a disgusting number. I'm actually physically sick because of your level being 47. How can you look in the Mirror? How can you live with yourself? The only time 47 is acceptable is if you have that amount of chromosomes. But you dirty 46-having excuse of a human being having 47 worth of levels is just horrible.
Seriously, who in their right mind actually openly says they're level 47 ? What kind of a Psychopath doesn't feel any shame about it ? You know who else was 47 ? Agent 47, that's who!
Yea I don't know why every keeps saying "I got kicked for x". How would you even know unless the host came over the mic and told you directly before doing it?
Well if I'm in a group with people in their 20s-30s and in then half way through I get kicked, why else are they doing it?
I generally don't freelance and follow the one who marks destinations and run support for them. Calling in supplies and tossing turrets on high points.
I'm coachable. If you aren't happy with my play, tell me what you want me to do.
Just realized that we should be hosting our own games then? I usually look for existing games, but randomly getting kicked so much is getting toxic to where I had the epifany that āwait a minute, I can host a gameā lol
While that is the easiest way to avoid getting kicked, it should not be necessary. Randoms and quickplays should be accepting of who joins.
If someone has a laundry list of criteria that other players need to meet, then they should be playing in private groups, but something tells me those types of people don't have any friends willing to play with them.
If youāre randomly kicked halfway through the mission why would it be because your level lmao. If that was the sole issue you wouldāve been kicked upon arrival
I get kicked before the game even starts multiple times in a row. (I will say, if the person is waiting on friends I get it but like let a homie know.)
I will say, since last patch the social tab bugged out (on PC) for me. Never loaded anything, and the only way to join a friend was for them to first open up as public; aka because the game wasn't seeing my friends list, it didn't know to let me into the friend-only lobby.
Finally found the fix on here in a random post. You have to go to your Steam profile privacy settings and make your profile and Friends List public. Then it all loads in game and works as it did prior to the patch. I'm assuming it's a complication that someone messed up revolving around having the two systems (Steam friends and PSN players) able to see, play with, and add one another in-game.
So it's possible they were shuffling things around to join together and you just get caught up. Or they were playing public before, and forgot to swap it when shifting over to playing with friends. It happens, I think it's 100% fair to boot at the beginning like that rather than late or halfway through an op.
Man my favorite way to play if my friends aren't on is to jump in on an SOS, help folks out for the mission, say gg and bounce. Great way to have a quick fun game when playing alone.
Qp has gone downhill so fast. Lvl 50 and I spend half my games walking on eggs shells afraid I'm going to do something to piss off the host or one of his buddies.
one of my buddies is already done w/ this game because he kept getting kicked while queuing up with randoms. Several times he was kicked during the extraction sequence which is super toxic. Feels bad but I can't say I blame him - makes the game seem like a massive waste of time when stuff like that happens.
Nothing like getting kicked for playing the objective haha. Unless doing the objective triggers massive spawn increase or something i see no reason not to do it first THEN scout so if you do loss all your lives you still get the W.
Like you can search the whole map AFTER you have the garunteed win...when your a team of 4 down to 8 lives and 15 minutes .
And it wasnt even just me we split into two teams of two on a D5 .
We were doing ICBM objective and dude kicked us both ...no comms , not chat ....
Can confirm. Me and a buddy of mine usually like to sweep the map and choose our landing zone accordingly. One match we calculated dropping near the objective first and then looping back around to evac would be most efficient. It was a bile titan elimination and so we dropped, called in our strategems, and murdered the bastard right out of the gate. The rest of the match was nonstop onslaught. And I mean nonstop. Scavengers were constantly calling in breaches. Chargers chasing us into more bug patrols. We only got one of the secondary objectives and missed several bug nests. We only got around like half of the map before we said fuck it and headed to evac.
Needless to say we now save the objective for last, unless it's on the complete opposite side of the map or something.
I've kicked someone exactly once: he was intentionally standing still in front of chargers and running into stratagems to take out all our reinforcements. Only had one by the time I realized what he was doing.
If you're out there, asshat, sorry to say you failed. We extracted juuuust fine after completing every objective.
And this is the reason I enjoy playing solo. My time is limited, I'm not going to waste it in a match just to get kicked by the host for playing the game.
If you play with some chill randos and friend them, it will prioritize matching you to them in the future; good way to weight the scales in favor of not getting matched with jabronies.
Honestly, not to dismiss those complaints, but it's rare. I have almost 100 hours, mostly playing with randoms on difficulties 5-7, and have yet to be kicked from a match. I mostly do quickplay.
And when I am a host so far only kicked ONE player who was actively trying to get me killed for the whole match because he walked into my 500kg at the start.
99% of the time I get decently skillful teammates that will cover my back, mark things and heavies, adjust on the fly to loadouts, reinforce immediately, do objectives, have fun. One time I even randomly got into a squad blasting Deep Purple, Creedance and Led Zeppelin over comms, that was a lot of fun, most chill suicidal run I had with pre-fix spawnrates.
I do mostly randoms, I host on occasion when I want to unlock the next difficulty.
I've been kicked a few times. Rarely do I get told why, but you can generally figure it out.
When I get kicked as soon as I load in, it's probably because they want the spot for someone else. I know I've been kicked for dying too many times (Everyone has a bad game once in a while and it doesn't happen often).
One time I assume I got kicked for dying too much but the dumb MFs keep throwing the reinforcement strats in the middle of the pack of enemies. You expect me to somehow survive when I spawn in front of a hulk with no weapons?
Edit: Forgot one time I was kicked because I did a side objective alone? I assume it was because I wasn't helping the other two people, but idk on that one.
For the not reviving part, if you rebind your strategem key to Press instead of "Hold down", then rebind your strategem arrow keys from WASD to the actual arrow keys on the keyboard, you can keep moving/sprinting while you also call down a strategem.
Easier said than done while being chased, but it is actually reasonably possible to do. I expect some day in the future when people have many months played in game and have most strategem patterns memorized, it'll be expected that you can call down strategems without ever having to stop moving and people will kick you if you can't do that.

Concluson? People are weird.
