Termicide Towers made me realize some players just have no awareness.

[Plagen]

Played a lot today, and things were good in the beginning. Termicide Towers were being activated relatively easy. Then, I just played like 3 matches where the people I was playing with were so unaware of what was going on. I wanna point out I play on difficulty 7, so it isn't that hard.

Had people bringing Mine, Mortar, and Sentry strategems. Throwing down Eagles RIGHT next to the towers. Letting the bugs walk right past them to attack the tower for seemingly NO reason. It is like they were tourists admiring the view or something.

One group we tried multiple times to get one tower with me holding down two entries for the bugs. They kept letting them get through and their mortars and stuff would destroy the towers. I use an Arc Thrower, so I can't really turn to help them without zapping them as well because they would be standing around next to the bugs. I went to a different tower and solo'd it while they continued messing around at the other tower. But alas, we ran out of reinforcements from everyone dying too much.

Even explaining to them that our weapons/strategems damage the towers, what happened next? They used one next to the tower again. It got to the point of when I heard a mortar going off, I'd stop what I was doing, track it down, and destroy it. It was like playing with NPCs.

Gamer brain rot. There is nothing that can be done, just leave them in peace.

Soldier skills: shoot, move, COMMUNICATE.
It yer team are tards, edumukate em. Otherwise, go back to the 'move' portion and move to a diff group. If THAT fails... shoot em. :D

[Kackstift]

this are peolpe that only take the same stuff to any mission because a strange streamer said it is the best.. these people are not player.. this are viewer

[Kurotoge]

Once my friends told me the tower took friendly fire damage, I took the orbital railgun for Chargers, then the tesla tower for choke points. Then just went with my usual kit and held a different choke point. If people are still bombing the tower with friendly fire, let them. Let them suffer failure. Find a group of buddies and leave those others behind.

Amen, there are so many level 50s out there that only rushed the blitz missions and now they are absolute garbage

[Chaos]

You realize this now?
Better late than never I guess.

Some of those thing are simply irredeemable, just kick them or leave when you see it.

I have noticed people struggling a lot with the mission and going completely ham on the bugs attacking the tower. I played in one game, where people had 3 mortars, and 3 telsa fields going at once on one tower.

All you need is like one person with a recoilless, or a mech to deal with the big stuff, and everyone can just use their primaries to shoot the bugs off it.

[Kanjejou]

friendly fire seems unreliable on the silos... what hurt them?

light gun?
medium guns?
heavy guns?
grenades?

Had the same experience. Directly on the first round I noticed that my teammates been damaging the tower, severely stopping the progress. One even denied this was possible and that it just been the bugs.
This is obviously to complicated for people in 2024 in a COOP game. You cannot expect them to think independently. They should add a big red flashy sign in the center of the screen if you damage it. Otherwise, people will not understand it.

Human evolution is said to be a chronological line. But during online matchmaking you get all kinds of evolutionary steps in between what is supposed to be human.

Another tell is lvl 50 after samples, was hilarious to meet a couple of them all mad and bad, when you play a variety of missions you done needing samples around 30-40. Usually chasing medals after that.

You will also end up having enough super credits to buy some armor at store and the premium battle pass. The defense grinding divers, actually feel bad for them, they missed out on an incredible journey, what a boring way to play.

Tower = skill check

Mines and sentries are good for that mission if you put them in the right place. You just have to use them properly like any strat instead of calling eagles right against the side of the tower where it causes damage.

Tower missions are among the easiest. Even on Helldive. As long as people do not shoot the towers themselves the health of a tower will not deplete easily.

Its more like an IQ test. If you pass you are above 70. If you fail, you are below 70 and at least in most of european countries you could get free medical care for your special needs.

Tell yer peeps to throw their airstrikes along the exterior of the walls where aaaaaaaaaaaall the bugs path in a nice neat line. Maximum bewms. This ain't rocketsurgery.

So essentially....skill issue
