Tryhards with mics

[PTLANS]

What is with all the tryhards with mics lately? I can't play three missions without someone trying to play at team captain over the mic ranting at the team about "strats" while failing to engage in anything remotely resembling teamwork. That or people throwing a tantrum over other players loadouts. Its not even just the new players, I've seen plenty of "high level" players acting like goblins.

Its to the point where I want to just kick anyone that uses a mic.

I think I’ve only ever ran across four people who were using mics in 1000+ hours.

Anyways, I normally just mute them.

I think its mainly in deep dives that I see that sort of thing. I just find them so toxic that if you ignore them or mute them they run off and or start activating things without checking with the team.

Deep dives or elite DD? honestly I havent done any EDD with randoms before, usually just solo both DD and EDD

Either. The more I think about it the more I realize its probably mostly in DD/EDDs where I encounter the worst of the community.

Guess why most folks mute/turn voice chat off by default in online games, yep you guessed it, that's why.

Any chance those lobbies, you are joining are called something like: "lvl 100 or kick", "3gold promo minimum" or "NO GREENBEARDS!", because I can tell you from experience, those are usually the most toxic lobbies

I had a guy hot micing one time, telling his buddy on the phone all about some girl he took home from the bar and cheated on his wife with lol.

There were some VERY graphic details, and he didn't seem to feel very guilty about it; bragging more than anything.

So finally someone else on the team types some sort of question about the story like "wait, she did what with her mouth?!" and he goes "oh ♥♥♥♥" and leaves the game rofl.

I don't usually hear players on mic

though this one time as the drop pod was leaving and the mission ending the engineer micspammed an eagle screech on mic so loud it hurt my ears

Yeah, kind of sucks that you have to deal with that. If you want, you can just turn off voice chat from other players all together in the option, and I don't think many people would blame you.

I usually turn off voice chat in any game, not just DRG. Because most people with mics have to breath louder than Darth Vader, or have a tuberculosis cough, or have a failing marriage going on in the background, or pets yapping away, or a baby crying, or they live between an airport, and an train yard.... So yeah, I just turn it off to avoid that annoyance.

Muted mic long ago.

I only react to the chat.

100% of players i have met who used mic in this game were 13-16 y old boyo kids with big EGO, commanding everyone around with their tiny girlish voice and not doing much themself. Not a single one used it to do some tactics, planning or strategising with team. Overall mics in onlne games are cancer for toxics.

We already have Rock and Stone, nothing else needed.

Mic users are my favorite, I just mute them and they can talk to themselves how important they are.

Tryhard
A term vomited by people too terrible to even be considered casual. See Scout main.

Agreed tho mic users are not great.
