NEW THREAD CREATED

[ItsJ-]

Abandoning this thread dont bother.

EDIT:
As it stands right now once the mask has run its life cycle of people not realizing what it does it will only be used as a griefing / troll item. I think the item can be reworked into a fun healthier way that provides a cool risk / reward mechanic.

Make the mask only have a % chance to posses someone when FIRST picked up than the mask will lose its affect UNLESS someone dies with it. This will create a risk reward for the mask and stop intentional trolling. You could either make the mask worth a lot of money with the chance to posses being higher OR have the mask be worth only a normal amount of money but have the chance to possess be low.

This makes the item unique without causing irritation between players and would be the first risk / reward roulette item in the game. As it is now its just not as interesting. This would be a fun item especially when close to deadlines to take that risk to save quota deadlines.

As it stands right now the item has 2 purposes.
A. Griefing or trolling

OR B. is never a interesting item again and basically is just a boring regular item like the rest.
This item has so much more potential to be a risk / reward roulette item and be the first item that actually has some character to it like all the other monsters in the game. I want this item to be unique and interesting.

If they wanna grief that bad, they'll just go intentionally get vomitted on by the maskers, though? You can't have one without the other and change anything, unless you also cut out half of the gimmick.

I understand why it can be annoying, but if somenone wants to ruin a game they will do it. Killing other players with a shovel, throw items away, spend money in dumb things, trigger enemies, etc..

But the difference is as host i can kick those people. If someone puts on a mask kicking them does nothing because the mob is a separate entity at that point.

So no its not the same because the other is preventable

I dont mind that because its a mob doing it if a player is intentionally griefing by putting on the mask right next to your group or into the ship it isnt preventable. If they suicide into it at least it doesnt doom ur team instantly.

Completely avoidable in that case

If you are a bit sneaky, you can ruin a round without the host noticing, as an example, you can make the ship leave on the last day and make people get fired if you don't meet the quota. Even if you kick him after that, you already "lost".

[Rideps]

Plus they follow you outside. They could just kite it out to the ship. It looks like a player on the radar so you won't notice unless you're specifically on the lookout.

You'd really have to rework the whole thing from the ground up to actually do anything about the griefers, just removing the mask wouldn't. And if you just kick everyone that gets followed outside by doubles you're not going to get anywhere, either.

Legit every game with randoms is just purposefully wearing masks to grief games. Possibly one of the worst update ideas. The mobs themselves are fine but remove the grief and comedy mask please its so toxic

Don't join random lobbies? No one's upholden to your play style.

Does everyone playing Lethal Company have some weird sense of entitlement?

[BigJ]

Keep your shovel by your side.

[Ben bitmişim]

There's lots of easier ways to grief a lobby that doesn't require a specific item to spawn my dude I'm sure its just some fresh installs who don't know what it does.

Nope in that case you just press exit game and youll start the game back in orbit again. Trust me its very hard to troll. And if you find someone is trolling mid map again just press exit and the game will start back into orbit.

This can be also done for mask trolling but its annoying to have to deal with another form of trolling

Its not a weird sense of entitlement the items only purpose is to grief your team once everyone knows what it does.

The mask is a limited time item its not something that should stay forever. The mask enemy itself is FINE but the wearable masks should be a temporary event item. Its only purpose is to troll once everyone knows what this mask is. Its not clever, its not funny its just annoying.

Play with people who won't use it to troll then.
If you keep playing with randos that is on you.
The amount of people that come here to whine about randos being randos is too damn high.
YOU choose to play with random people and they WILL find a way to troll you no matter what.
