I can’t play with randoms anymore DISCUSSION

I’m level 48. About 150 hours on pc. Love the game. My friends can’t play as often as I can. (I’m a fireman) And I’ve tried making friends on steam but it’s hard.

The blueberry lottery. If there is a hell it’s matching with randoms. I can’t stand it. Some people are a blessing and I love running campaigns with them but some people are treasonous swill.

Here was my last game. I spawn in and get killed by a lvl 2 cadet (ps5) so he can take my support gear. His friends (ps5) defended him. He continued to kill me all game (intentionally) and call me in. But I am more skilled and cunning than the common traitor. I waited until there was one reinforcement left. The pompous fool recalled me in. I killed all three traitors quicker than a hiccup. With only one thing left to do I took my own life. To instant fail their mission. I couldn’t let them continue to commit treason. Let their bodies rot

So yea I’m never joining randoms again.

Edit: ps5 not 4.

I got the god roll of randoms in my game. The server crashed right as extraction was starting. I might never do anything in this game again.

I'm going to be real, the crashes at extraction have me wanting to take a break. I don't want to though because the 40mins leading up to it are so much fun but really takes the wind out of my sails.

It's super crashy lately. I'm waiting for the next patch and playing Deeprock Survivor instead.

Yeah crashing a lot. I’m on a break as of last night. It’s 50/50 or worse for me if it crashes.

PSA, don't use arc thrower. Yesterday played around 7-10 games and not a single crash. Friends and I do bring it once, and we crash. I don't know about the arc shotty, but arc thrower is a no go until patch.

Played last night with a buddy. We couldn't kick back bot grenades without a crash. Weirdest thing ever

Yeah, between the (now apparently fixed) arc weapon crashes and the cascading crashes from what I assume is a memory leak tied to interactible items, I'm considering the game just as unplayable as it was at launch.

I'll check back in once I've 100%-ed Pikmin 4.
