I know I suck lol but this is next level evil. If you want to kick me do it whenever but don’t waste my time letting me help you clear mission objectives and then kick me.

Sorry just ranting.

I had an idiot say to a guy, at extract, "You stole my samples, I'm kicking you." I told him you couldn't steal samples, they're shared. I got kicked too. Some people are just either stupid or malicious, but fortunately they seem to be less and less frequent.

The amount of people that don’t realize samples are shared and that super credits/medals picked up are instantly rewarded to everyone is higher than it should be. I had a guy yelling over voice chat a few weeks back that we had to ignore the side objectives and extract immediately so he could keep the super credits he just picked up

You made me feel slightly better. They say we helldivers are the elite but sometimes I’m not sure, basic training was also pretty easy. I should shut up before they send me to a freedom camp.

@Kovukono @roboto

I'm really glad i've never ran into anyone like this... yet.

I know I suck

If you sucked, then they'd have kicked you earlier to replace you with someone better.

don’t waste my time letting me help you clear mission objectives

Cruelty is the point. Traitors want their fellow divers to suffer due to some dark, undemocratic urges. There are rumors about the bots being able to brainwash, but that is unverified.

What they've really done is let you know that they need to be blocked. (Social, recent players, block.)

Until they are being sent to a freedom camp I think that’s the best way to deal with them. Can’t liberate with this broken sense of democracy.

[–] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

This is how to deal with traitors to Managed Democracy 🫡

I got kicked one time completely at random. I was confused more than anything. Like, what? I thought about it and decided I had a simple solution. I just host every game I play. I know I love Democracy. If it's my finger on the button I know we are in good hands.

[–] MarauderIIC@dormi.zone 4 points 4 months ago

Yeah, same. I've played a few random helldivers matches here and there and haven't been kicked but I am still more comfortable hosting.

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

I got kicked for telling someone to gather all the artillery shells before activating the console.

[–] roboto@feddit.org 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yeah idk sometimes I just get kicked as well. It sucks if they do it after the game but at least I get the XP. I want to host as well but I’m level 22 and I’m playing on difficulty 7 or 8 to level up faster, if I spawn alone I will probably die faster than I can send out an SOS beacon :D

[–] Tedrow@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm sorry that happened. Some people just don't love Freedom as much as they should.

[–] roboto@feddit.org 3 points 4 months ago

It didn’t occur to me before creating this post but this is highly I democratic behavior and I will make sure to report this.

[–] MrNesser@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Its the school holidays theres an influx of younger players

People in this game are dumb sometimes. Someone ran into my Tesla tower 4 times in a row, I said after the third time in chat "dude stop running into it". After I he 4th time he got reinforced he tk'ed me so naturally I went and got him back only to hear over voice in the most southern hick accent you can think of "alright purple you're out" and got kicked. It's not even like the tower was was in a hidden area or blocking an objective. It was in the middle of a field near where a bug breach was seconds before doing its job and luring chaff away while bug zapping them.

[–] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I feel a lot of players don’t like arc items and don’t know how to play around them.

[–] loganb@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That was very undemocratic of them... Suspiciously so... 🧐

[–] roboto@feddit.org 2 points 4 months ago

Maybe they are infiltrators from the super earth anti-democratic movement. I heard those people still exist and hate our way of life.

[–] asymmetric@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

My team was running together. Host calls down resupply. We all grab a pack. Then host teamkills all of us from behind. Wtf, right?

He reinforces us. I teamkill him in return. Get kicked.

[–] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 3 points 4 months ago

Yeah that's a shit move.

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 1 points 4 months ago

I feel like this would be solved by Arrowhead not allowing you to kick people X minutes before the end of a mission, and/or giving you rewards based on how long you were in a mission before kicked/disconnected.
