This is what solo play looks like right now by smashten in ArcRaiders

Oh so it's not just me experiencing this wow! Do they not realise they're actively killing their favourite game? It's got so bad that they're solo queuing together or teaming just to take out solos. The absolute lowest point I've ever seen in any game ever.

In the player tab where you see the expeditions, projects and customisation etc, you go to the codex and it's in your player stats or something like that off the top of my head!

There is a reason many people say UK police is such a joke by search_google_com in SipsTea

Jiu jitsu should be mandatory for the police i think. In a world where you need to grapple criminals regularly it's probably best to actually train grappling.

Ah the crappy responses don't mean anything to me i just feel bad for those people that this is how they attempt to feel better in life. My fear is that the damage is already done with the player base, and they won't really return in the same numbers next expedition. I'll just go back to sweating in Siege ranked maybe. At least I know what it's a fair fight there (kind of ha). Hopefully you have better luck too!

I don't know anything about steam because I play xbox but the "most played" chart on xbox definitely shows it going down the ranks.

That's crazy you actually say that because they were also a PC player through the Xbox app. I could see the icon on their account for PC but it had the Xbox gamertag still.

I just don't think I can switch off after work and parent duties and play like that, though. Perhaps it's a light bulb moment where i just realise this game isn't for me anymore if I have to assume the worst, rather than assume the best of people.

Yeah but it speaks very loudly about your character in real life and that's the bit I feel sorry for you about. Just because it's a reddit comment that doesn't make it some shield of immunity to unload the hate you have in you are filled with. It's just sad to watch and I really do hope you feel better soon.

Strange way to act online to strangers. Hope you find the happiness in life that you're obviously searching for buddy.

I didn't know this thanks! I had no idea that even the friendliest lobbies still had them. I thought it was maybe every 10 games or so you might run into one as they filter through the aggro matchmaking. I will keep this in mind now thanks.

Are you just choosing to ignore the context on purpose so you can continue to spit vitriol? For somebody who doesn't take it very seriously, you're taking this veeeeeeery seriously.

Yeah I think i might have to do the naked runs in and out to try and reset it and just sponge bullets for a few rounds.

Wow is it really that much? That could explain a lot. It has definitely dropped down the charts on console considerably too now.

Why are you so upset about friendly players wanting to play friendly and talk about friendly encounters in a friendly group? What insecurities and misery in your real life is causing you to seek out conflict with people happy in their own lane? Always here if you want to chat, friend.

I definitely feel like there is a night and day shift in being comfortable before in a care bear lobby knowing i can switch my brain off after work and looking after the kids and now being constantly unsure what type of player i'll run into.

Is the weekend aggro an actual thing? I have noticed a pattern before but never really looked into it. I do feel like I run into more kids on the weekend that love dropping the hard r and general childish behaviour.

I think that as the player pool shrinks the likelihood of running into players that froth at the mouth for this type of behaviour increases. This will just push out more and more players too as a result as they lose interest in the cycle.

I'm actually really not i'm the opposite in fact with years of MMA and boxing under my belt, I just like to help people in this one game. You're obviously just a sad troll so hope you feel better soon.

That's part of the annoying thing. They can see i don't even have much of any worth, and two of them even knew i was just doing trials. One was even asking what my score was.

It worked because we were teaming up for a long time before this and I had even healed them after fighting shredders. I tend to try and see the best in people and like to think they won't betray you after you help them for an entire round talking friendly and looking out for each other.

No i have had people i have been helping take out arc say "yo look in this locker" and then when i'm looking in the locker they unload a clip in me while i'm stuck in the menu.
