I'm done till they do something about the rampant kicking.

[Mookies]

400 IQ host runs into orbital bombardment, sees your name for their cause of death, immediately kicks you no matter how long you've been in the mission just fine.

OR they just kick you for no reason whatsoever.

I'm tired of people saying they never see this. It happens in more than half the games I've played if I'm not the host. I DONT KILL other people on purpose, ever, I want the mission done and I want my progression.

I can't even block the scumbag that kicked me because recently played with tab doesn't work.

I'm just done. Between not being able to get on, and getting trolled when I finally get to play because there is no penalty for kicking people on a whim with HARDCORE friendly fire... I want my money back but I spent 5 hours waiting in login ques.

The original HD didn't have this problem because it wasn't filled to the brim with tiktok normies. Hosting your own games is the answer. Set your squad to open and pick a mission and wait for people to join you.

i've seen alot of people dropping artillery way too close using it as a shotgun range like wtf. i can see his point of view i just let them be i dont go near those people they do their stupid thing and i continue mission, was playing with a friend i thought of kicking but i knew what i was doing so i didnt needed to. also i see your point you dont want to get kicked out but then again you are playing THEIR game. start up your own then you wont have that issue

This is not what happens. Not even close. I'm paranoid about killing team mates. I won't even use the sentry guns anymore because people like to stand in front of them and die. I make sure when I toss the target nade it's nowhere near people. But of course, there are 400 IQ people that see that big red line with a countdown timer and decide they're a moth to the flame. And that's just one example. I've been kicked several times for no reason whatsoever, nobody died, host just kicks me.

Be the host

The entire multiplayer system needs another pass through....quick play is completely useless you never join a game that way. If only this game had dedicated servers.....

As expected, the "Host your own lobbies, then!" non-solution is already rolling in. If everybody hosted their own games to avoid being kicked for no reason, we'd have a co-op game full of 1-person lobbies.

This is why I've never been a fan of host kick systems in co-op games. Back when I played Payday 2, I got burned one too many times and decided to only join vote-kick lobbies, no host-kick ones. Of course, since 99 % of lobbies had host kick enabled, I ended up hosting pretty much all the time. But I always had vote kick enabled, never host kick.

I empathize with your pain, OP. Fortunately for me, I've mostly been playing in pre-made groups, so I haven't had to deal with this issue in Helldivers 2. I only got kicked once so far, and that was on the ship.

Most of these kicks happen because no one is communicating AT ALL, hosts and players. Literally the only solution is to host your own games. With a vote kick system I could bring in my 3 friends to a random mission someone's hosting and we'd be able to just ♥♥♥♥ with the host and the guy won't be able to do jack. They would literally be democracy'd.

You've picked a mission and just waited on your destroyer too? I'd imagine most people are playing hard or below if you're playing at higher diffs and not finding anybody.

[Willem]

Imagine kicking people for team killing in a game of Helldivers in which the developer completely intended for team killing to happen ALL THE TIME.

Bro just block those try hards they clearly don't get the game

I've only been playing hard & medium because I can't get anyone to join hell I don't even think the SOS works the only way I've been playing with people is spamming quick play for like 5min straight or joining my ps5 friend that's it so far the majority of my runs are solo.

Next time you play just pick a mission and wait on your destroyer before starting. I had two people join me almost instantly when I thought I had my squad set to private and had selected a mission.

Mines are the worst. I lay a nice minefield in the middle of a hive and some plonker panics and runs directly through it trying to close the holes immediately. Kicked. Or my favourite was picking up a gun they wanted.

I've been trying that & nothing happens I've only had someone join me a single time.

Nah, you never pick up someone's weapon stratagem without their consent. That's an unwritten rule from the original.
