Increase in dishonorable players.
Recently I've come across several players who will purposely sabotage trials in ways that are listed below:


  • Purposely Lead prime assets to players
  • Do nothing the entire trial / Hide
  • Shut doors in other players while they're being chased.
  • Block Objectives
  • Never meeting for "all players required"


There is many more methods I've seen used and it's typically done by players who already have everything in the game, So I assume this is the alternative of having fun for them.

I'm not sure what can be done about these behaviors but I thought I should help make it known.

But how would game detect this? It's tough to execute it. A player could be lost and it'll look like they're blocking progress.

I think a solution for AFK and blocking objectives is to have after a period of time, enemies "conveniently" hunt players who do this. Hide in a hiding spot stupidly long or until the objective is complete, maybe a giant decides to spawn in and meander to that hiding spot to discourage them. Hiding spots are not meant to be used for more than a minute at a time I feel, probably less than 20 seconds in most circumstances, so having a timer for folks in hiding spots as a natural deterrent would reduce this issue. I think a timer of 60 seconds in a hiding spot with maybe a 30 second cooldown before it resets would prevent the workaround of just hopping from hiding spot to hiding spot. "But what if I need to AFK and I'm not trolling?" Try your darn best not to AFK, this is a multiplayer game, a 60 second timer should be more than enough time to get something quick done. I'm down for solo players to be able to pause their trial, but not the multiplayer.

Trolling objectives/having a teammate take their sweet time needs a separate solution. I have had quite a few situations where a teammate picks up a key that is needed for opening a gate and takes painfully long to use it. I think a timer on holding necessary objectives should be implemented as well. Maybe after 2.5 minutes the objective is dropped on the ground and there is a 30-60 second cooldown for that player to pick it up again, allowing other players to locate and pick it up if needed. A cooldown on folks putting down and picking up objectives wouldn't hurt either, something like 2 seconds or so, enough to prevent intentional trolling. I think the increased incentive to complete these objectives rather than messing around/finding the secret room while holding onto necessary objectives would be healthy for the game. Find a key? Put it in the gate asap. Troll wants to waste time? Well this would remove their ability to soft-lock the trial. Still can kick them after or leave the group when the trial ends.

I don't think either of these solutions would ruin the game, but I'll admit there would likely be circumstances in which it would be annoying, but then again, if I can tell I'm playing with trolls my only solution now is to leave the trial since they have the power to soft-lock trials. Leading enemies and interfering with chases is annoying, but I don't see a solution that could fix that, apart from the report button.

The game needs a report feature for the specific actions done by online players in-game, or a text box detailing what the player/players is/are doing that is obstructing/ruining the gameplay experience. Honestly, these players are attention seeking morons that require psychiatric help but would rather project their life-long issues online for people unfortunate to experience...kids that never grew up essentially.

it is not anybody's fault that your parents didn't give you enough attention growing up...let players enjoy the game or ♥♥♥♥ off.

And yes...banning should be enforced - no online play extending from days, month if the behaviour continues from the player responsible.

I've had doors shut in my face too. I feel like the group leader should be able to kick during trial too for this kind of behavior

3 strikes and you are out from online play, forever (don't care if you are an Early Access player) - I endorse this method because then people would play the game properly and quit being a-holes. The Devs should implement in-game recording of players POV from start-to-finish (only they can see this) so as to assess the claims presented in the text-box. I do not want players banned indiscriminately.

1st strike: One Week

2nd strike: One Month

3rd Strike: Permanent Ban (Edit: I changed my mind - nobody gets perma banned)

If you cannot play with people then play by yourself

I understand where you're coming from but that's pretty harsh considering all the money people had to pay. if that was the case, what you're imposing i think it would be fair for the people that did get banned be issued a full refund. if they were trolling, or not.

I think the group leader should be able to kick during trial should be more than enough for rude or disrespectful behavior. Nobody should prema ban people for a game they paid for. Just my 2 cents

Okay I get what you mean...nobody gets the game taken away for life. Yeah I do have a problem with that actually.....

And the whole thing where people are talking about the game needing censoring is absolutely nonsense!

Game just had censorship. There was a baseball bat stuck in a guy anus in one scene and now got removed for an M rating. ♥♥♥♥ censorship and those who support it. Uncensored is the only way to enjoy something.

People always try to ruin a good thing
All these suggestion are good i hope devs really looking into these suggest and least some end to game in next big update. I also wont suggest perma ban in this game is solution just long enough cooltime for MP usually is fix and its unlikely you ever met that player ever again anyway 1 month is bit too long i think but 1-2 weeks usually are good enough
