Apparent toxicity toward Super Citizens
So I've been playing a fair bit during the last few days and I've encountered quite a few people that has been saying "I've had enough of those Super Citizens" or "I'm tired of the P2W Citizens" and I'm actually confused.

Is it that bad wanting to support a good game and wanting to unlock anything and everything that the game has to offer?

I mean damn, It seems that many people actually dislike anyone using actually decent builds that are made to be good to not die in above Extreme difficulty. I guess I am a little bit worried as to where the community is headed in term of mentality. It's been a reoccurring issue these past few days to be honest.

I'm almost considering hiding the fact that I'm a Super Citizen and playing with non-premium warbond weapons and armors/upgrades at that point.

Maybe I've been incredibly unlucky with the matchups, but man this is almost comical considering the theme of the game.

Why make stuff up? Nobody cares and says that.

The have the right to not play/discriminate for whatever reason just like how you can play whatever you want. They payed for their game and you paid for yours.

The game is just going to get more and more toxic as time goes on and as more people join the game.

Already saw host killing a guy with scorcher because the host wanted to use that weapon. happened everytime host died.

It will mellow out once the hype dies down, and the tourists move on to their next meme.
EDIT: Also, turn off crossplay. I've had significantly less negative interactions since I stopped playing with console.

Um, it would be pay to win if the premium weapons didn't suck. I got the rifle with explosive rounds and learned my lesson with how useless it was. Using the breaker now like every other person. I am not even unlocking my premium warbond for now, just focusing on the normal one.

I use the Super Citizen tag and so far no one has called me out for it but there are all kinds of people out there so I don't doubt that can happen. I did turn cross play off.

I'm not saying a ton of people did it, but I encountered quite a few that made pretty toxic comments and literally said what I quoted or kicked me out of their squad for it. Many people play the game, and I was just wondering if it happened to anyone else that's all.

Why be a ♥♥♥♥?

For you maybe, but it did happen to me a few times and I was just wondering where it came from, no need to be a ♥♥♥♥ about it.

Yeah I've met some people like that as well, but oh well, all types of people play the game so I guess some interactions will always happen, I was just concerned at how I've been having quite a bit of contact with those kind of people these past few days.

HD1 community was very small and very toxic. Only to be expected a lot of the toxic HD1 steam forum users would be toxic here too.

They can be spotted by the 'it's to easy', 'X needs a nerf', 'stop other people playing the game X way' or 'Your opinions aren't as important as mine' type posts.

They actually got HD1's difficulty ramped right up to the point it wasn't really playable/enjoyable for the casual.

Literally never heard this once.

Why would you run around without the premium warbond items? I have the premium warbond and I'm not a Super Citizen. Nothing in this post make sense.

It's probably a few people that got matrixed by all the meta videos and possibly reddit posts tbh, I turned off crossplay after a bit and I met 2 of the toxic ones within a day, but that's about it.

I literally helped one kill a Bile Titan using a Spear and they flipped out on me after the game and said "I've had enough of those Super Citizens" and then right after kicking me, I relaunched and I stumbled upon another one dude who got mad I said I was using the incendiary breaker saying "ofc you use that as well" and kicked me bruh

Before that it was more like some people being toxic team killing on purpose for who knows what reasons and then the occasional people complaining about P2W stuff probably not understanding that it's not P2W as they probably saw a bunch of videos on it and went "yes I know everything about it now and I'll complain" without even trying it.

A few kicks here and there as well but the reasons are often unknown lol

I'm not sure those people understand what P2W means or they throw this out randomly for no reasons, the only thing I saw the HE rifle was good for was to concuss some bugs and maybe kill some lighter enemies more easily but that's it. The incendiary breaker is very good against bugs in general and I realized it pushes some of them back pretty well but I'm not sure if it's the incendiary or if it's normal for shotguns.

Either way it's probably me being unlucky or there is a weird trend growing and people just follow the train.

I heard about that, I've seen a few people complain about certain things needing a nerf or trying to min-max stratagems and equipments but the latter was for good reasons, I've been kicked I think twice for people wanting me to play a certain way but it was when I was lower level so I don't think it's related.

But man I hope they're not going to do the same to the game, I don't think so considering the game is pretty huge right now. I mean I like when it gets difficult but it would kill a lot of the player-base.

The best people gonna do to a "Super Citizen" is to laugh at the cringe title.
That's it, they don't really care otherwise.
