Level Restrictions on Difficulties Please

[Driverben]

I'm getting tired of getting people under level 10 for missions on difficulty 5 or higher. They waste all the reinforcements and then leave. It's incredibly frustrating at this point spending +20mins just to get no rewards because people think they can handle these higher difficulties, when in reality they're just wasting other peoples time.

There already is a difficulty level based restrictions system

There is literally zero reason to do that. Make your lobbies private or get friends.

apparently not because I'm getting matched with people under level 10 when i'm doing level 6 difficulty.

I disagree because I've just had 2 missions where 2 lower level players wasted all 15 of our reinforcements then left.

The game automatically choose the unlocked difficulty for new players

I got to agree with this at least lvl 10 for hard and lvl 15 or 20 for difficulty 7 and further. Maybe remove the difficulty limiter for Private lobbies with friends.

It's not really about the gear honestly: althought starting lvl gear isn't great, the game is no darktide or mordhau with their weapons and gear but it's really got to do with situational awareness and knowing how to engage enemies.

From players who join and think trowing an orbital strike BEHIND YOU is a good idea to take out the outpost you're about to trow a nade in and then rush the whole map not getting anything and triggering all the robots. To players who are simply just new to the game and overwhelmed. it's not a bad thing to have a lvl limiter I think. So that at least if you get a bad lvl 10 you know he'll stay alive longer.

The last few groups I had who were lower levels, level 9, level 8, and a level 15 if I remember right. The 9 and 8 just shot at everything we ran by, so naturally bug breaches every time. Before the timer had ticked down to sub 20mins we were down to 5 reinforcements. Someone left, don't know who, followed shortly by the other 2 because we ran out of reinforcements because no one knew how to dodge a charger.

I agree level doesn't really matter all that much, but it comes with experience in knowing how to deal with certain enemies, which these players clearly were not ready for. Especially at the numbers we were getting. It's happened 4 times today alone and I'm getting annoyed because this game already likes to screw me over with not giving me rewards when I do complete missions sometimes.

You are playing pub games, you get pub teammates and being one as well. If you don't like who're getting, play pre-formed private games, simple as that.

And FYI: level =/= skill, being helpful or not being a griefer.

Level doesn't mean squat honestly in this game or any other for that matter with this form of leveling system. I'm level 40. I've definitely learned a lot and gotten better since level 1, but I still was good enough even back then to survive and hold my own.

Stop dictating how others play.

you really still think level=skill in videogames? lol

Because they've completed a level 5 difficulty mission, level 6 has unlocked.

Man is acting as if you can't do difficulty 6 at lvl 10 lol. Maybe YOU can't. Skill issue.

Where did I say that? The lower level players I've run in to clearly can't. Because they don't know how to dodge chargers, keep shooting everything in sight and drawing more attention then they can handle and die constantly. Only time I run into issues with difficulties 6-9 are when there's people clearly not prepared for it.

Sounds like a you problem. Put in the 5 minutes effort it takes to join a community and find people who communicate, and stop playing with all the 10 year olds in quickmatch.

Host your own lobbies or get friends.

You should have kicked them before they wasted 15 reinforcements. You think after the 9th it would have gotten better? Kept hoping for improvement?
