Quickplay: How to know what mission I even joined?

[FecklessJoota]

In quickplay, you are usually directly sent to stratagem selection screen. Before I select them, is it possible for me to know what the mission is? (ICBM, extermination etc.)

Check the icons on the map, the orange icons will tell you what the main objectives are as they're unique.

No orange icons, congratulations you get a free ride to rewards!

No that's why it's called QUICK play
If you want a custom game look on the globe map for open games

Yea no... just it being called quick play does not justify not showing the mission type.

Hopefully it will get added later.

Plus the custom games don't update live for me, so usually they get full by the time I choose one :\

I've been wanting this for a while. Not knowing what you're dropping in to is kind of stupid, especially with the "Briefing" tab being right there anyway but it just doesn't work for whatever reason.

Its past the map phase, like when I am joining someone already in mission, game directly skips to loadout selection

A lot of people think inconvenience is somehow the same thing as depth, basically.

Why deal with the effort of thinking about polish or engaging challenge, when you can just screech that loving a buggy UI means you are more skilled than somebody with common sense?

Safe bet most people defending this would cry and beg the host to kick somebody bringing an unguided orbital attack to a mission that did not let them see ahead of time it had orbital scatter.

Could be worse. I have seen games where food that makes you puke blood got nerfed because tryhards kept crying quickly rotting poison grew on trees. Even though you also had thermodynamics busting cloning tanks you could also use to run biofuel reactors.

Ah right, then I see your challenge.
Bring a generic loadout, you'll be fine, I guess.
