Getting Kicked from pug games cause not meta?

[Dragun16]

Good times when running a Borealis Monarch Armor Set to improve the vulnerability an critical damage to said frozen by 90%. Only to get kicked over an over, for what I can only assume is cause I am not the Meta Plague Shredder build.

Great game, just like when i was kicked out of a monster hunter world for running a lance or sword an shield, an not a charged blade or long sword. Oh wait that never happened.....

Maybe the devs over at people can fly have OVER powered raw DPS an left all the CC an support roles to get cast into darkness.... Maybe people are just trash an don't know/care there is anything BUT DPS in the endgame. Maybe the DPS builds are too easy an can do too much an need to be nerfed so other builds are important an having a team should be how some one gets to endgame CT 15....

Just a thought.

I feel your pain - I've been playing in premade group of 3, both of my partymembers focusing on raw damage since I'm playing Borealis Tech Shaman providing them CC and healing.

I just really wish we could get numerical value of how much exactly did our build increase their damage. We already see the healing provided in the tab, but I'd love to see how much of their damage I enabled.

Those vulnerability and increased frozen damage modifiers quickly ramp up, not to mention the increased critical damage from set bonus.

As a meta plague shredder I can tell you, I get kicked all the time too... *shrug* at least I'm not crashing ever kick now.

Its equally likely that host wanted to finish playing and kicked you to avoid crashing your game.
Hurray to no chat in coop game.

Sadly no. People kick you if you are not playing DPS classes. The devastator is almost unplayable in random matches because scrubs kick you think you are tank only. There are tons of videos about it, and it should have been obvious that this would happen since the only end game content is DPS focused. There is currently NO POINT to have a tank class in this game atm.

I got kicked when I was unlucky enough for 6 Riflemen decided to ♥♥♥♥ my ♥♥♥♥ up with their storm trooper aim across the map, then there was a time when 3 Alpha Perero decided I looked like a nice foot stool. I didn't even slow down those games cause of auto revive. Host kicked me as soon as we cleared the area. Like seriously? You could have the most perfect build, but that doesn't matter if the AI decides to end your life.

Here's food for thought: You also randomly get the "you were kicked from session" message when something messes up in the connection.

Source: My buddy, who keeps getting "kicked from session" message after 1 minute whenever he joins my sessions. Other people join without problem, it's just him, so we assume it's something with his connection.

When im on my technomancer and people in my team see that i did 80% of party damage they kick me too.

[Dragun16]

IMO, what should happen is if the host kicks people from a Public match then the run ends there as if it failed. problem solved for all the trolls that get kick happy.

The contribution that a CC or support buff character brings need a buff to make them a Meta team build (as in NOT having one means over all DPS is cut by 1/3rd or 1/2 of its true potential)

An the Anomaly builds IMO are just trash the demolisher for technomancer even with full anomaly power, status, cool down, Gear is garbage DPS in comparison to the Toxic plague rounds Fire power, long range, short range gear builds....

Thought anomaly powers were ment to ignore armor an only use resistance to which seems every mob has 50% an elites/bosses have 80%.... Good times.

Guess its back to toxic plague rounds meta....

Really sad that there is 3 archtypes an 2 of them are garbage late game.... seems like a TON of wasted time in development, maybe that needs to change?

Which doesn't make sense lol they're getting carried

Meta's welcome to a game that has no real balance even though they try. People think buffing other specs is different than nerfing the op ones. It doesn't matter. The issue should be that encounters need to be reworked to require tanks. Treat DPS like glass cannons that if they get breathed on they're dead. You wanna nuke the trade off should be your HP. Force the use of healers and tanks.

Then you ruin the game for those that want to play the game solo. Can't change the game that drastically and expect people to be okay with it.

It's why always tend to solo games like this, rarely play meta builds. Like right now running a techno turret build, no bullet. Lots of running around and mobility hectic build but it's fun and so far actually works.

[CptnSpandex]

Thing is my man they added ridiculously low timers for gold on end game so if you are running around cc'ing everything that comes your way rather than killing at the speed of light that's why they are kicking, the timers are a ridiculous part of it and some missions because of these stupidly high dps builds have now even been reduced further, so every time they reduce those timers the more useless for those runs tanks, cc masters, or healers will be, people can fly are doing it to themselves destroying the game for the builds they created, it makes the skill trees useless.

It shouldn't require tanks though if you solo. I don't want to play with randoms or cultivate new friendships to be alowed to play the game. I don't even want to play with people at all. I want to continue playing solo. I agree though things need to be balanced from scaling to abilities to the enemies abilities (that they spam) and removing timers. The priority should be over fun not grind. That's why I play games. not to have job emulation virtually. Also, unrelated to your post but ♥♥♥♥ meta. It's really limiting more than anything in games these days. I ignore the meta in Warframe and can solo the entire game including eidolons. I know I don't do it as fast as people who have made the game their life, but I get everything unlocked and most importantly I enjoy playing it. That goes for a few other games I play as well.

This mindset was being fostered during Demo and ppl mostly ignored it , welcome to the world of ignoring problems XD
