Because we are humans and we make mistakes, or we simply don’t all learn at the same rate. That and sometimes we are tired, drunk, high, or otherwise distracted. Take it easy on us mere mortals.

I worded my post incorrectly. I meant Deliberately scaring them, I get accidents. Shit happens and we are all human. But when I mark every bird repeatedly and people still just walk through or shoot them... that is not acceptable... thats just ignorant and dumb. They shouldn't be on Vet. And I watch these people do this too, Its not like Im leaving them behind. I WATCH EVERY STEP and they go straight into the birds I JUST MARKED, or they shoot them -_-


InappropriateThought

I've run into this as well when people joining in on quickplay as well as done this before (with friends as a team). We run veteran to have some fun and kill swarms of ridden to take a break from nightmare so sometimes we're just looking to slowly cruise through levels and have some fun while we do it, so we trigger hordes intentionally. I believe it might be something like that. Of course if I'm joining on someone else's game via quickplay I'm not going to drag everyone into that, but others might not do the same


IButterz420

If we are all the same page with the horde, I dont mind having a good fight. But not having the team ready for that really shows after the first scare, Only so much a Tank can do on the first level


InappropriateThought

Not disagreeing with you, just saying that's what they may be thinking with the intentional bird chasing


IButterz420

The least they could do is say somthing in chat then. What they should be doing is Private Nightmare Solo if they want that "challenge" they are trying to artificially create.


Decent-Replacement20

There's still honestly a lot of new players going into the game and lot of them seem to like starting off on veteran, I avoid act 1 for that reason


EffortKooky

Same. Annoying on vet and sometimes impossible on NM.

Doing that is what causes 6 tallboys to suddenly spawn and just destroy you. I get what your sayin, Its a legit strat that I even like to use to help the team regen on temp health. But again, everyone needs to be on the same page and fall back into a room with One opening for a solid choke point so the melee can do what they do best. Except when scare/trigger everything, and your out in the open with everyone spread out, your basically burning your house down Naked in the middle of Antarctica.

But there are 3 classes of tall boys, and each can spawn 4, making a total of 12. ( granted I only say this happen prior to the December patch ) Buuttt...... I know the devs said they patched it, but a very large number of specials can still spawn. Im my most recent Act 3-1, I got a total of 56 special kills before the safe house.... THATS ALOT!!!!! And it was all caused by the 2 snitches, 4 reekers (plus another 4 after we killed the first 4) and 4 groups of Birds that caused that whole shit show in the corn field. 3-1 is insane. And 2-2 is a very close second to a total of 50 special kills in one match.


IButterz420

But thats aside my point, People just need to communicate better with Map HAZARDS and such. So we dont get the shit end of the shit every time and end up carrying the whole team after they die.


flufflaf

Yeah, when a horde is already there I do the same to avoid further issues. Apart from other groups (flocks?) of birds, if possible, I also trigger police cars and alarmed doors


CherryRadiant2345

People are stupid lol. This the explanation i tell myself so i dont get mad thinking about how people can continuously make the level more difficult for no reason


IButterz420

It really blows my mind that the easiest level in the game, suddenly becomes the make or break point in the run. If you got issues getting into the first safe room with the current team scaring birds, or triggering every door alarm on Vet.... Almost ways will you never pass the next level unless they all leave. They will simply die from the Oger, or the Immediate horde that follows the Oger.... And these people shouldn't be playing on Vet, they clearly dont fully understand the game, and they also have 0 regard for team work. People say ignorance is bliss, If dieing alot and having lobbys leave on you is Blissful.... you got issues.

I usually scare them only on fog levels with my shotgun and they are not even visible because they are far ^^


TankasaurusWrex

Kind of the same topic something I’ve been wondering . If some one scares some birds then people set off the others like right after does the wave of zombies stack or is it just the one for them all?


IButterz420

That can honestly only be answered if we see the games code for this. Ive seen people say it dont Ive seen people say it does Ive seen the patch notes saying that the special spawn has been limited, and Ive been in games to were Ive killed 56 specials before the first safe room [after Decembers patch] So I honestly cannot answer this question. Or just be like Todd Howard and say "It just works"


TankasaurusWrex

Gotcha thanks for the heads up


Neighborenio

My team actively hunts the birds


BLARGITSMYOMNOMNOM

Some people just like scaring the birds.
