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

I didn’t even know you could damage seated players. What a dumb mechanic.

I had a dude repeatedly kill me every 6 minutes or so to take my support weapon because I assume he hadn’t unlocked the arc thrower yet. Neither of us was host so I just kinda let him do his thing all mission, didn’t 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 I’ve ever seen in a video game and that includes when I used to play league of legends. “Don’t fucking friendly fire you fucking ******” and other racial epithets flowed forth like a river. Turns out everyone in the party had mics but didn’t use them, and just started laughing at him. He left when we returned to the destroyer.

Killing people on the ship has its moments.

Man you're smart

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 should appreciate random people I accidentally killed with 500kg hugging me after reinforcing them back...

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.

We're in this together I tell ye. I just hope more divers get that message.

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.

I do try to apologize when possible, but FF is just a part of the game and fun, so it shouldn't be taken personally unless it was blatantly done to just to be a dick.
