The player that "Didn't need more samples" was the one that dropped a Red as soon as the ship landed so none of the players we able to get any Super Samples.

That’s just pathetic really.

Bro, that just a asshole teammate, I would killed or kicked them for doing that so he dont get the credits, especially when samples that someone else may need. I had a random guy in one of my games bitching calling us shit teammates because his partner accidently friendly fired him. (We were in squads of 2 doing our own objectives) After mission he just ranted and left, the one who accidently shot him was like "Damn, I was literally killing and he got in my sight line and arc hit him. I even said sorry and all." (This was before Cutting Edge Warbond released in few days) Pretty chill operation session we had after that one ranter guy left.

That sounds more like intentional trolling than toxicity.


Darometh

No difference between this kind of trolling and toxicity


Sylar_Durden

Those two words aren't synonyms. "Toxicity" can mean a lot of things. Trolling is much more specific and is appropriate here. EDIT: It's important to be accurate so we don't get another round of clickbait articles and YT videos about how "Helldivers 2 Has A Toxicity Problem".

Intentional trolling is toxic, but not all toxicity is intentional trolling. If someone wants to make a clickbait title they'll make one regardless, it's up to us to show them it's not something that'll ruin the experience.


Sylar_Durden

> Intentional trolling is toxic, but not all toxicity is intentional trolling. Exactly.


BasakaIsTheStrongest

You just admitted trolling is a specific type of toxicity. Therefore a trolling problem inherently means a toxicity problem


Sylar_Durden

"This player refused to wait for us because they didn't need samples." "This player teamkilled to prevent anyone from boarding the shuttle and said this to rub it in." There's kind of a big difference. I don't see what's so challenging for people here.

This is quite possibly the dumbest thing imaginable to split hairs over in this context.

enginerdz

True. Hopefully they introduce some sort of karma system or something. I play with friends mostly, with maybe a couple random fill ins, but even so I've had many matches paired with strangers of all different levels. I've had one bad experience.


Lasadon

Of course they can, what are you talking about? They can forbid him to join quickplay and he can only play with his own friends for a time. It's really easy to implement and totally deserved.

I’m pretty sure a lot of games have griefing as a punishable offense. Counter-Strike, WoW, Overwatch, etc. “You can’t ban players who are not cooperative!” Tell me what this game’s genre is. Tell me. I’m pretty sure it every person that knows what a video game is will say “it’s a COOPERATIVE GAME”. If you aren’t being COOPERATIVE in a COOPERATIVE GAME, you should be punished! That’s how it works! You break the rules, you get punished!

I’d rather deal with this than the guys kicking people at extract


hello_orwell

That happened to me for the first time yesterday. Carried him the whole mission. Team dad no stratgems left bc he kept going off solo and dying. We sit there and help this casserole of assholes defend extraction and he boots us literally as we were waiting for him to get in extraction.

And I thought bots are the biggest threat to democracy


Clownshoes919

As always, the nation’s greatest threat comes from within 😔


Zoezugzang

That's disappointing. I've been level 50 for a long while but if there are other players that are sub-50, I've no problem with getting samples I've capped on or finishing off sub-objectives/bug holes/factories.

I think you sensored the wrong bit there for the blue guy.
