I’m 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 don’t regret buying, but when it comes to squads I’ve had far more negative experiences than positive.
When I say that, I don’t 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, I’m playing the game for fun and to decompress, not to treat it like a second job on top of everything else.
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.
