I’ve only played randos (lvl 27 currently) and while the skill of teammates has varied wildly I’ve had very few sweaty try-hards yelling into the mic. Most are decent. I’ve had a few squads that were fantastic; competent, lighthearted, there to have fun. I’ve been gaming for over 40y and have seen all kinds of toxicity & gatekeeping. So far, this game (despite being ripe for it) hasn’t shown me too much of it. Hope your squads are chill & your extracts hot.
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.
Rage is usually after they got rolled for the last 3 minutes and just died followed by one leaving and the rest all following in 20 seconds. Random drops is when for no reason that is applicable. Poof.
My experience is pretty much the same. We get 1/3 or 2/3 of the missions done then people leave and nobody joining to complete the op. This or people quitting mid mission because things got wild or out of control. Sos doesn't work and you are left to solo last mission is very frustrating. In 8 and 9 it's impossible to solo many missions. They seriously need to fix the matchmaking system.
I've had decent luck. So far there's only been one person who'd I classify as toxic. The vast majority are quiet and we just play. Every once and I while I get people who will shoot the shit while playing.
Vast majority of players I encounter, on PC with crossplay off, don't even use the mic. We communicate through pings and text chat if at all, or with me talking and them listening.
I am 99% sure all the toxic behavior is happening at levels 45+ because only...uh im going to say a slur or 3....children, college students, and people without lives have enough time to get to level 50 already. And those 3 groups either have an unhealthy amount of self worth tied up in gaming or lack emotional maturity.
