Just kicked my first party... - eviltoast

Doesn’t feel to good, to be honest. =/

Basically, it was an ICBM mission, we had 20 minutes left on the mission and everyone was at extraction (Which peeved me a bit, as we didn’t do any POIs).

I see a radar station literally right next to extraction, and say in chat i’m going for it.

Well, in the middle of raising the radar station disc, extraction lands and they all immediately get in, remember, the radar station is RIGHT NEXT to extraction, and we still have 20 minutes left. I barely finish the radar station objective before the pelican takes off.

Suffice it to say, I went from a bit peeved, to pretty peeved and just kicked them all.

I’m starting to wonder if some people just don’t have chat enabled or something.

    Playing with randoms is a huge mixed bag for me. I live in the Netherlands and frequently get paired with fellow Americans, but there’s also plenty of people speaking French, German, Italian, Turkish… plenty of people that just can’t communicate at all.

    I once joined a team of three French dudes who I was just barely able to understand their strategy for bot defense missions: wear the armor with explosion damage resistance and call in a 380 and walking artillery barrage on yourself. If possible, run to one of the little pillars and lay down on top of them (bringing a jetpack helps with this).

    I haven’t done a bot defense differently since.

    Maybe we need to encourage something like Deep Rock Galactic’s player base does: type ‘r’ in chat to ask if everybody is ready. It’d be awesome if it was added to the menuwheel of things you can yell while on a dive.

      I think more in-game messages would also help a lot. Like how you can say Thank You, or Sorry using the social wheel. Something like “Hold off on extraction”
