Do something about people camping extractions is Mashmak

[Empress]

Look, I get it, Mashmak is a pvpve extraction looter/shooter, so if your whole team dies, it's mission failure. However, it seems people have taken it upon themselves to camp extraction points so they make sure that others can't get out with mods or data. It's not really all that fun when you constantly have to avoid one extraction, only to run into campers on another extraction, basically making a mission fail your only end game.

There is nothing that can be done, other than walking in and killing them all.

It's a standard tactic in all of these games, at least be glad it's not a super dark game in which people literally crouch holding a dagger for 20m waiting for someone to show up to steal all of their stuff.... Or that little rat turns out to be a PK.

Just sent to hangar a team of campers in 2 v 3 fight while they were looting another team. Got loot from 2 teams. A fun game.

dude the ones that are there when it spawns are bots not people.

I mean welcome to extraction games? This is a very common strategy in other games like hunt showdown etc.
The solution to cut back on it is I guess add more extraction points maybe?

I don't need more skill, it comes down to the fact that they could extract themselves with their own loot they acquired. But the extractor lands, and they just sit there waiting instead of leaving with the loot they have. I managed to extract at B finally, but a few sessions ago, a welkin chased me all the way from A to B in order to make me have mission fail, when they had been camping A the whole game. They don't want others to get out with items, they just want to pvp. If so, go back to the 6v6 pvp fight. It's pvpve, I get it, but when you only want pvp in said pvpve strike, then not playing the pure 6v6 is redundant

Yes, most of the time there are bots. But I have been in Mashmak where enemy mechs were players

After being killed by extraction point campers, I knew that this game isn't for me. Won't be playing Mecha Break on release.

Yeah same. feels bad man.

everybody converge to the extraction points so it make sense people gonna have to fight over extraction eventually. You must be really dense if you don't expect a fight at the extration point. I am not even a pvp players myself, but even I know how to check the map for other people

[SleeprunnerInc]

Use Narukami and capture the extract while invisible.
Only one person needs to activate extract for everyone to leave.
Also don't try to leave within the first 2 extracts for higher chance of leaving in peace.

Honestly, skill issue, and you're just being whiny because you're bad and it hurts your feelings. Bots in the named mechs always guard the extraction points, it's not campers, and also multiple teams converging on the extract because they HAD THE SAME IDEA YOU DID AND WANT TO EXTRACT TOO is also not campers. And even IF a team did get to extract first and then wait for some action instead of taking it immediately, you and your team are on even footing to fight them, or wait for the next extract, there is no unfairness happening in this situation either.

You smell like a Falcon player that fills his inventory with trash and then ditches his team to fly straight to the exit alone, and then dies to the bots in a 3v1 because you're solo in a light mech,

[Empress]

Honestly those that spam the two words "skill issue", are usually the real whiney brats. Wanting the game their way, played by their rules, and if they grief other players to the point that those griefed start complaining, they immediately call them having skill issue, like they're super wizzes at any pvp game they touch. Did you miss the part where a WELKIN FOLLOWED ME FROM EXTRACTION A ALL THE WAY TO B? Because I didn't give them a free fight/kill where they were hanging out. They were not bots, check your enemies again, because they had the titles from the challenges. I also don't touch Falcon unless FORCED, for my main is the sniper, and I'm not a "he/him/dude". My question is legitimate for even players completely new to Mashmak. If you want to just be toxic, take it somewhere else.

What was your question again? Do something about campers? How you imagening this? Kick people from match if they're near extraction when you approach it? Make you invincible to attacks so you can extract to safe place? Make a huge warning message to you if there is someone near extraction? Highligh enemies near extraction? What can devs do about it?
Listen, you have EYES (i assume), you have BRAINS (i hope), you have MINIMAP (i know). You have all the tools to avoid being in bad spot. Use STRATEGY to get things done. Communicate with team, ask them to go to the next evac point, do not extract on first 2 if you're not skilled enough to survive 2-3 enemy teams. Just think before do. It's not that hard. There is nothing devs can do about it, it's like all extraction games played. You have to outsmart and outplay enemy team or you will be get wreked. And it will be only your fault.
