Why is so much of the community toxic??

[Plaxus]

I don't get a lot of time to play so I value my game time, but there is so many people who seem hell bent on wasting it fast as possible.

IE1: some guy head shot me after all side objectives complete, took all the samples, booted 1 other player, wait till extraction to boot the other, and refused to call reinforcements for 15 minutes, intentionally running up the clock for harder spawns, then booted me where I had no chance and I died with no re-spawns left.

IE2: some guy deployed us into a gas-swamp and IMMEDIATELY launched auto-mortar and airstrikes setting off chain reactions of explosions. Then stood outside the gas while throwing reinforcements into it while it constantly exploded over and over- costing us 7 lives in under a minute. He totaled up over 1680 points worth a friendly fire. You should really be able to reject deployments

IE3: We just got done with a "challenging" mission setting and the host instantly amps it to "suicide" with no equipment in the group being were all level 4-16. He then also proceeds to burn lives and cause 1000 points of friendly fire, then everyone leaves, but I get kicked while last standing.

Seriously, what is with this community, and why can you never report these toxic ass people? I've had a lot of good runs, but over 50% of my games in my very short time to play them were completely ruined. I get the fact it's part of the charm and quirk to have accidents and friendly fire, but some people are so abusive of these mechanics. Get tired of extraction being orbital blasted 2 seconds before take off killing everyone :(

It's really making me question continue playing this game

No clowns for you clown.

same reason a lot of the 40k community is toxic

[Major Malarkey]

People suck, and they're everywhere. Use the block function.

[Plaxus]

They really need some form of host-anti abuse or host migration where you can kick them off. their game and someone else takes over It seems every other time I'm not host- we're not going to have a good game.

Turn off cross play. Otherwise, welcome to online gaming. Look up Gabe's Internet Richard(Short form of) Theory. You won the Richardhead lottery. Some people just suck.

[Winter Chaos]

all the same in every game except single player no one know what u did.

[Caboose]

Host your games. Always. Only reason to join is if you are going to play less than hour and move on

Arrowhead killed any kind of camaraderie the game had with one terrible decision after another.

Listen to the guy suggesting to turn off crossplay.

Based off your avatar alone, you deserve everything you get.

I've played 100s of games, and beyond some minor rage inducing incompetence, have had almost no trolling at all.

I haven't had any of this happen to me yet. Unfortunate that some players abuse the trust and teamwork like this.

So far my worst experience in game due to intentional player behavior is when I accidentally threw one, singular gas nade on a high level teammate in the midst of chaos (who used one stim and survived) who then proceeded to throw all of his stun nades on me when there was nothing else around along with an airstrike so i couldn't evade it. THEN proceeded to call ME a teamkiller along with a bunch of other slurs.

Unfortunately for him, I was the host.
Guess who didn't get the 100 SC packet I found in a container immediately after that exchange.

They can't even see my avatar. But while being cheeky, that's besides the point.

This has ALL been in one play session. Idk, I'm getting the feeling high-ranks are just bored and like to bully new players relentlessly.

I literally did not have this problem last week.

I...........have a very bad luck, but even me didnt encounter so much toxicity in HD2.
Well sometimes but not like your case.

To be honest, in LoL i had cases of losing streak going to 15+
and it kinda reflect in HD2 as i keep getting crappy teammates that solo-rambo
but this ? Nope.

Question.
Are you on PC or PS?


Maybe try to switch the "on off" the function that allow playing with the other part.
(forgot the word)


Beside that, i cant think of another solution.
Cross fingers, or maybe its your regional server that sucks.
