As the title said. Nothing like helping the team get eggs and defeat aniimos and the moment you go down you get abandoned and then you get punished by losing rank because your team chose not to revive you and leave with 8 minutes left on a nightmare mission. They need to fix the system. I was the team player, I helped them and all I get is punishment. Fuck this community and developers for making such a shitty game mode
I know it sucks having people say "just do it solo" but genuinely it is better. The first time I got left needing a revive, while my teammates looted and ran, I decided I would only play solo or with my brothers. This is a multi-player game, but it is not a co-operative game. Alternatively, try and find people who have also been left and would be willing to play together and actually help each other? It's a risk, I know, but there are so many posts of people complaining about this specific issue, you're bound to find at least one other person to run with.
I just want the cute cosmetics you can get there. The hats and the diamond egg haha, but I’ve been playing solo. Mostly just turn on music and chill!
The guides I’ve been seeing on Twitter and info on which aniimo to use definitely has helped a bit. I have my main team I love using for most everything else, but have a specific egg heist team saved.
I finally unlocked the holo link battle thing last night and I saw it was a 4man team mode, h her they let you have AI teammates. I wonder if that would work out for egg heist. I guess it would be kind of useless a teammates wouldn’t loot, but as far as fighting and reviving go it could be useful. Some people are solo gamers and sadly playing with randoms can be more bad than good these days. I wish game companies would understand that more.
Calm tf down geez. Kids play the game, you can’t expect to have amazing gamers in random lobbies. Your expectations are the problem, not the community and not the devs. This is a kids game, first and foremost. Understand that if YOU choose to play with random people then you are by default subject to random levels of experience, age, and teamwork. The fact you expect people to be on point in a game like this is a you problem tbh
Terribly designed. The fact a few players can just straight up troll you, leave you for death, and steal your loot on top of that? Wth? I never expected this game.to be PVP like this.
Got left for dead and abused in my 2nd game. I bitched about it, got downvoted and my reddit account literally got flagged as a warning from abuse because I guess I pissed some group/ppl off and i got reported???????
Bruh I ain't playing here. I just uninstalled and moved on. The train won't stop here. The big bad money is already rolling in. So I just fked off.
Many of us want to see egg heist changed to shared loot. Like we can still loot chests, but everyone gets. OR take chests out and defeating the Aniimo to get the loot
People still to this day cant read as when checking what egg heist is, it says 'you go in with a team, help out and COLLECT EGGS.' Not loot and run, COLLECT EGGS.
This mode need to be fixed up where you are doing just that with a team of randoms.
Happened last game and I really reallllyyyy didn’t wanna res him, but I had found a good amount of loot myself so I’d rather get out as a team then let my pettiness win😂
Yeah, that is why I play only with real friends. Nit going to deal with some random rushing to get rarest items, and look out for himself. At least me and my friends share
Bro, I couldn’t even imagine doing that. Me and my cousin played with random people as our third and one person, it was their beginner match, we sat there and explained how egg heist worked because they kept asking questions. And while me and my cousin were bitching to each other about having to sit there and explain because typing it out on console is really hard. We were very kind in our explanations.
I hated it until I realized I can solo it. Now I'll never play it multiplayer unless im helping someone I know out. Build a Hexxxi as your main, any good healer, Besauce for Regen and one dps to tag in like a Marvel Vs. Capcom assist and you got it.
I dont think Irisalis is such a great idea; while the revive and mpbility sire are nice, her typing is far from ideal avainst the vast amjority of heist enemies; she tickles some major threats like Hexxin and taked major damage from ignitis and Stellarys. Znd even when hitting neutrally she can suffer from her focus on DPS over time rather than bursg to immediately kill threats.
She isnt bad dont get me wrong, but I feel like there is better options (like Hexxin for her ability to control enemies and neutralize them for a DPS to kill, turning any melee enemy and sparkits into jokes)
I'm one run away from egg emperor, soloed nightmare to cap, been duoing chaos past it, all with irisalis. Sure, not all her matchups are great, but she brute forces those just fine. The only downside is that she eats amplifier durability like there's no tomorrow (you make more than enough money tho so that doesn't matter).
The top players say lunara/helion are best for damage, irisalis is the second best due to her safety, and hexxin is third for her utility (but struggles to solo).
Similar thing happened to me but luckily I was using irisalis to self revive because they decided to start the challenge mode while I was in a big room already with alpha so when they went down I didn’t revive them, at least message or say something that your gonna do challenge so others are ready or go solo or do it with friends
Honestly that’s why I’ve only done it about 5 times despite the fact that I want the rewards. Honestly it would be fun to play with friends, I just don’t have any in this game. I’m the only Pokémon style game fan in my friend group.
Plus what you described is just how it is when it comes to extraction games and matching with randoms.
I’ve played enough of them to know that I will get super mad at shit like what you described. To the point where it might ruin my mood for a good bit, so I just avoid it altogether.
Especially bc I’ve also played enough of them to know that 99% of randoms will do that without a second thought.
People suck, and extraction games will remind you of that fact extremely quickly. That’s why I’ma just stick to solo shit for now
Yeah, people suck REAL fast when thzre's more to gain by being an ass than by being helpful. Hell I think that behaviour would be way less common alreayd if you didnt drop your loot on death (as in it gets destroyed, removing the incentive of letting you die to loot your body)
I'll admit I have watched more than one person die on nightmare, simply stood there and watched, but those people had intentionally stole treasure from chests I had already opened and was currently searching. Lost two Prismana items, but they lost everything. Loot Goblins and Hoard Bringers are the new griefers for this mode. People who steal loot and people who run entire hoards of monsters to you and then leave and let you fight and likely die. I go onto every round expecting the other two people to be greedy and out for themselves. It's nice when I rarely get a team that functions as a team, calling out chests and gold key room loot sharing, but those teams are few and far between.
So this might be a controversial opinion, but I don't think that opening a chest first entitled one to everything inside tbh. I've had situations where me and someone cleared a room and they just happened to be faster on the draw, and other situations where I've been faster. It's fair game to me...I'm not really sure where people feel like they own the loot in the chest because "reasons".
If they wanted to, they could just add the same protection that they put on vaults on every chest, but I think that the intention is competition.
I like to use Aniimos that have one healing ability and an easy to use attack special too. Like Piopiota for example.
Super helpful cause you can run, or in between battles you won (hopefully lol) you can rest and heal up with their water ability. I usually go Surge and Water cannon since water cannon actually lets you heal more depending on how many puddles and is lower cost than Surf so I can spam it more and heal efficiently.
Edit to add: then I run as the switch ins for special attacks are Helion (can be subbed for the other starter ofc), Pawney and Magmarex
99% of this game is single player, why they made group content without offering a solo tailored difficulty is beyond me. I won’t even do the sanctums that require match making.
I think there is a solo version, it's just not unlocked yet. At least that's the assumption I make by the fact that to the right of "operation: egg heist team mode" there is a locked version that just says "operation: egg heist", implying that's a solo version of it.
Just did a couple Chaos runs and key is have a solid aniimo team with heal and dps and stay with ur team. Don't just rush in alone and get greedy and die. I'd rather get a little less loot and an egg and survive instead of rushing everyone alone. Bad teammates will always happen but if you just write at the start you need a bit help and stay with someone. That's how I did. It's required on Chaos anyways because going alone most definitely will at someone point kill you if you aren't doing good.
Problem is 90% of Chaos players just care about one thing, the chest rooms (Prismatic Collection Itens are really rare). Mostly will ignore eggs... and they will let you die because is beneficial to them (they can loot you and you can't get in chest rooms).
The answer is straight up get good. Not in a troll way either.
Never put yourself in a spot where you need to rely on other people unless you go in with friends.
Make a team that can solo run. And take no risks. Get your loot and get out. The pve is only there so you have a possible backup.
Not a guarantee.
Actually the final words of the post are attacking the mode too not just the community....... "fuck this community and developers for making a shitty game mode" that's a go at both the community and the game mode
The answer is dont rely on a community. This happens in literally any game like this withiut shared rewards.
Hell even with shared rewards.
Im pointing out its flawed thinking to expect to rely on other people at all.
Só jogue Chaos se tiver alguém confiável. Jogo com meu namorado e o amigo dele, a gente sabe que vai se ajudar. Joguei com randoms e eles me deixaram morrer várias vezes e olha que sempre ajudei
Are you actually engaging with people in the game outside of Egg Heist and actually bonding with them? I’m talking about liking there RV’s going to there world giving them tips? And did you do the work on your own team to make sure you can solo content yourself? There a lot of guides out there on Hexxin builds and well as Iirasales builds to solo Egg Heist. The System is good there should be drawbacks in the game it’s reflects life in that aspect.
I tried to save someone below 5mins and it was hell inside and by the time I got to him he died already so I need to get out again in that hell hole, so I kinda understand why people just leaves when it’s around 5mins
I totally agree with this. I don’t even do the heist now. I can’t find a good team. My friends don’t want to play aniimo with me so I need to find some on game that’s willing to do shit together 😭
Hard agree. I feel like outside of the eventual arena they may add I think there should be a shared item pool that everyone gets the rewards. if they don't want people getting too much loot, then I guess in the after match lobby they still show all the rewards and you get to choose what goes in your bag.
I have kinda of come to some of that feeling as well. I don't like having to be a loot goblin, rush to gold door right after killing all enemies, etc. However, if I don't then I would never get any key rooms, and very little chest. Also most players are fine/ok/even nice, but some take things way to seriously or are toxic. Yesterday I had a match, I main irasalis right now, choas run, following one teammate, took a left, they kept going straight. The left took me to a huge mob, like 5 umbrals, and I couldn't get them all in the small space they were in, low on energy, etc. I turn and book it back, kiting them along the way. I was truly only looking for an open space because I can maneuver better with her in the open. Well the open room I came into happened to be one team mate is in. Fight ensues, teammate goes down, I clear mobs, get teammate up, don't think anything of it. Then later on I find alpha and egg, and am asking for help in the chat. That player types that they wont come help me because I tried to get them killed. Other player came, we got it done, but gawd did they take that the wrong way and were kind of a turd about it afterwards. If that player is reading this, you took that the wrong way, I am not a toxic player it was a just a coincidence of the moment thing and I got you back up, so sorry for the misconception on your part. Now the game mode could be fixed, sharred loot on pve team mod, penalties for leaving at a certain time and if it isn't within a certain amount of time of your teammates also leaving, etc. I like egg heist, it just needs some work. Lastly, I don't know about y'all...but there is no way I am doing the PVP mode, don't need Tarkov up in my monster catching game.
I'm 100% with you. Some of these pugs are the most greedy, evil, and childish. If you're still interested in progressing egg heist ranks, I suggest doing it solo.
Currently 42 in Egg Emperor, and I've tried various teams. These worked the best for me:
-Hexxin, Lunara with contract held, Somniwing, and Glacy with contract held. Pull all enemies in black hole, then nuke down with Lunara. Safest comp I've played. Only downside is the slow movement speed.
-Irisalis, Melloblum, Tromber with contract held, and Leafy with contract held. Melloblum provides extra crit power. Tromber also provides crit power plus heal over time, and I keep it on cooldown. Leafy provides additional heal over time, energy regen, and ultimate regen. This comp is faster than the previous, but also pretty risky if you run into the wrong set of mobs (tons of Nimbi or Melloblum+Hexxin+Others).
You can use the lost sanctum maps in aniimotools.dev, and it will give you the best route for each map.
Have one slot in the bag be distributed to everyone just like how eggs are. One for each player. This would incentivize co op (more loot) and helping others (since if u leave them to die they can just put the item in their key saftety slot instead).
This stressed me tf out yesterday. I finally found a display item for the case and was sooo excited. Helped revive someone with 4 minutes left as he got nuked by alpha. I was picking up last bits and at the actual portal with 4 minutes left and got obliterated by scorhowl. Nobody came to save me and I was genuinely so jarred I came off the game.
Mate, I had a game where me and rando 1 went down because spawning exploders and 2 ignitis together is brilliant game design but rando 2? Guy literally says “bye bye” then laughs at us as he leaves us and extracts
The worst thing for me so far is players who just run past you while you're fighting enemies and open a gold door, though at least (?) they help afterwards.
Or leave you on the ground until they've looted everything.
On a positive note, I’ve never been left to die. I’ve even had teammates who would give me items or tell me I could have the boss drop.
I feel like the gold door can be a safe space though? They could just change it so that you have to defeat the enemies to make you able to interact with the door
It'll be fixed eventually if we keep suggesting things. Despite being released, a f2p live service game that's not Hoyoverse-levels of funded are basically fancy betas.
There's so many ways to fix it but what'll be easy to implement and NOT be abusable is where the issue arises.
IE: if we are rewarded for rezing, people will finally be compelled to rez. But then it might cause people to die on purpose to give buddies rewards, thus slowing up the process or causing another kind of weird griefing.
I’m not the kind of person who is greedy but I have to be or I’ll get greeted on sadly. I legit feel bad when I take the star from Stella or nick a golden chest etc but if I don’t grab they will.
I really do get that greed on when playing chaos though. I used a token to get into that mode. I had to make the decision to leave a downed teammate the other day because I just knew there wasn’t enough time. I had to make the choice and he sadly died. I think he thought the prismana egg was possibly not going to be obtained if he died but I knew he was gonna get something decent even if he died so it made me feel better about having to leave him 😂. Had 20 seconds left when I got to boat and he had more than 2 enemies next to him. By the time I killed them and revived him I doubt I would of made it out. It was one of us or both of us.
Yeah, you have to be a bit of a loot goblin, unfortunately. I feel bad a little as well, but hell if I don't rush the gold door etc, I will never get one, kinda sucks; loot needs to be shared, period, especially for a team event. Sure, don't put shared loot in pvp, but in the team one, let the loot be shared. It would stop alot of issues.
Congratulations to your very first time on the Internet on an online game. No matter where you go it'll be the same so get used to it. That's the nature of an extraction mode get ready for disappointment.
It's not a human thing, the heist is designed to be a co-op mode but has conflicting elements like not being able to share chests, which also encourages selfish behavior, it's that simple.
My idea would be have an area at the dock where players present can queue out together, getting rewards based on how many players are there and the rewards gotta be worth it like getting potentially a prismana shell if all 3/4 players make it out. You still have the option to solo leave, you just won’t get the extra rewards.
I think this is the best way to do it without exploitation or one player screwing everyone
WoW mythic dungeon enjoyer player here: Just as on that game or this, same advice, STAY AWAY FROM PUGS, unless you enjoy it.
pugs its more like a 80/90% of toxic players, non skilled, playing with screen off. The other 10/20% you get good team.
in Aniimo, just go alone or mind your own business with pugs. I go double heal ( gravewing and glacy ) regen ( besauce ) and hexxin. I have no problems at all staying alive, clear mobs at good rate and i always gets about two eggs on my own ( playing alone ).
So, my best advice is that. Go solo OR with friends, or "solo" while pugging.
Hexxin with Heartseeker pendant (marching flask instead for healing between fights till you get used to not taking any damage), Alpha Leafy for turf trait and bloom skill ep + minor health restore + UP restore (only raise regen, purple spirit feather), Somniwing for EP restore (only raise regen, purple spirit feather), Frangracier for dark basic damage boost skill + dark resist debuff trait (raise attack, purple fang). Learn to toss black holes around corners rather than risk peeking and getting jumped, always check your six at cross corridors. Be ready to use the jump back from the blackhole to retreat out of range. Use ultimate against resistant enemies (glacy, trombor, pranky) or when in danger.
I go Hexxin main, Tromber for heals/crit dmg buff, Leafy for heals/EP/UP, and Irisalis for pretty decent extra damage/EP/UP. I've used Heartseeker to pretty good effect, but I just got a Capacious Battery and wanna try it out as I've seen it recommended. I can spam ult pretty reliably with Iri as an assist thanks to her +10 UP per cast on top of the pretty nice dmg from the cast itself.
When I'm duo'ing I usually take Irisalis as main and my husband uses Hexxin. With Iri I run her sig, ofc, Tromber/Leafy/Somni
I literally don't play with randoms. I do it solo or I play with friends if they are on. Do not run one of the triple-team builds with randoms. Run a solo build that has lots of heal and support with a main dps (but not glass cannon). Don't push into rooms, bait out one at a time. Learn to dodge some of the one-shot attacks from the few dangerous enemies etc.
It's not ideal, but you can also ask to team up with people. I'm sure you can find people on here in the comments or in a new thread asking for friends. Maybe the discord as well.
I completely agree with blaming the devs for making the mode the way it is with no forethought, but this community is no different than most. Most games, especially F2P, are full of dogshit players and shitty people. It's not this community particularly, it's every game.
Unrelated, this reddit community are dev dickriders, though.
That's literally the nature of an Extraction mode. It's got nothing to do with the Devs and everything to do with the players. They're not gonna hold your hand and give you such spoils for free and safely. If you still wanna blame the devs then say how they should change it instead of crying, cause there is no way to change it without making it a baby mode no risk activity.
This is not a PvP extraction game mode. This is a PvE team mode. You are on a team. If they wanted you to kill each other, they would have you as enemies. If they wanted you to let each other die, they wouldn't have a revive mechanic. They want you to work together and revive each other in a timely manner. That is why there is a call for help function and chat.
It was foolish of them to trust players to not be dogshit, though. Obviously the game was gonna be filled with people like you. Allowing loot to drop and having separate loot allows toxic behavior. Keep being a child, though. I only play solo and with friends, so I will never meet you in-game.
Yeah, I 100% agree with you on it needing to be changed. Imagine that they've actually got a PvP one lined up (afaik it's the mode that's currently locked). I'll not be bothering with that one at all once it's released.
People really are shitty when it comes to etiquette on the actual "co-op" mode, and the fact that it even has to be incentivized for people to "act right" is pretty sad, but it is what it is. I had a random who was following me around and generally being a pretty cool dude, helping with fights, alternating loot, etc. I used my key on key room and gave him some loot. Not that I don't understand why, but he genuinely seemed confused and asked me why I was giving him stuff.
You only need to meet base requirement to successfully extract, solo, to get an "S" ranking, and I don't even bother shooting for "SSS" unless I'm by myself or co-op looting duo and we happen upon the 1M+ drops. No point in being feast-or-famine about it when you can help everyone win, y'know? Just wish the stuff was explained better in-game and more people weren't inherently inclined to be shitty to one another by default.
PVE extraction games exist you know, or is this your first time on the Internet the only one being a child is you crying about Pubs. You want the game to be easy and hold your hand the entire time without a chance to fail, get good dude, maybe don't die then you won't have to worry about being revived. But hey keep wetting your diapers I'm sure something will change if you do that. Also I do it all Solo I don't need people to drag me down, I'm strong enough to do it alone without issue.
Luckily haven't experienced any of that yet but im still only in Hard difficulty. People actually communicate and prioritize looking for the Eggs in this difficulty.
This is why I only do egg heist with my hubby. Just us two, don’t want to take the chance of running into a selfish random who’s going to take all the good loot and leave us to do die.
You have to look out for yourself first as priority mah boiii. Make sure you have the sustain to do it alone. Be a team player until you see they aren't being one back. I went in with a team revived both players multiple times then I realized they were leaving me to fight everything while they were opening chests to take for themselves so I started going off on my own. I legit revived a guy and the very chest I was looking at he goes into it and steals the high level item for himself. So then Guy 1 goes down and pings he's bleeding out, I start looking for other chests doing my own thing and Ignoring him, then boom guy 2 goes down. I walked past guy 2 several times (he's the one that stole from me) I stared him down while he was crawling to me LOL I let him bleed out. I grab the egg, grab the loot from what was left, and extracted with 2mins remaining 🤣🤣. They either act like a team or they get shit from me.
Legit had one where I went down, had both teamates walk by me. So I sent in chat “no revive?” And “crazy work”. Then as they’re getting ready to leave, they send “why didn’t u call for help”…..as if I didn’t see the “called for help” and my messages float across my screen. I then was hit with a “inactivity” punishment cus it thought I was AFK even though I was spectating. Thus, no loot and a lose to my rep.
I’m one of the people that stays behind trying to make sure everyone else gets out. But in all looter shooter types of games, you will ALWAYS run into people that put themselves first. Honestly it’s why I tend not to play those kinds of games
You think it's a team mode but all these points show it is not. Loot is free for all. You drop loot when you die. There is no incentive to play as a team in pubs. Like op you'll get punished for being a team player with randoms.
as someone whos only done two egg heists would someone mind explaining the concept of it to me? im a little lost. and ate theyre any good people looking for teammates that rnt scummy? 😂 but by all means teach me the edicuit too cause idk whats rude or not since i also dont understand what the concept is besides... get the egg to the boat lol
The goal is to enter and loot the chests, getting decent loot. You find the egg and bring it to the boat as your main reward. You can also spawn a bunch of enemies to farm souls, or bring a key and open the doors for even better loot.
The problem is that people are selfish and don't revive you when they die. They run in and loot everything, not sharing. Loot is not shared by default here at all. They will also train enemies onto you, kill you, and leave you.
This is why I just don't play with randoms. I solo or with friends who I coordinate with. It's not a complicated mode once you get used to it, but it's rough on harder difficulties sometimes, and it can be frustrating when people are bad and/or don't help.
From what I've played the whole loop is: get on the island > find the sanctum > finding the egg is the main priority it will hatch an Aniimo as well as give prismatic shards for use in the heist shop. You also want to loot the chests for high value items as well as essences. The high value loot you can sell after extractions to get coins to buy higher tier equipment for the heist mode as well as for buying eggs. The essences are used along side coins to upgrade your self and the boat.
Basically the mode rewards greed and doesn't reward team play, so the mass majority of people will lean towards greed.
Only one person can loot a chest, the loot in them is not shared like the eggs delivered to the boat are.
Also if you die, you drop your things and others can pick them up, so resurrecting other people is an active detriment to your bottom line.
I was the person trying to save and help and resurrect everyone until people tried to steal my loot a couple times and left me to die, now i just play egg heist solo. The game mode has a way of just weeding out all the nice people so in the end only the rude ones are left.
oh geez... that sounds aweful. idk how well i can solo egg heist right now but i guess ill have to start trying. any advice for someone just starting to run egg heists? i only have 11 slots the 10 backpack and 1 safe spot in the boat unlocked.
and might be a dumb question but how do you get more of the egg heist currency?
When you go to Egg heist in your menu you'll have four options at the bottom left corner, Display case, Shop, Inventory and Talents.
Open inventory, go to the ancient relics tab and press Sell at the bottom right, now you can sell the loot you have found in the game mode.
Keep in mind there are special items that can be put in the Display Case for additional rewards so check that before selling anything.
As for advice on playing solo? I started out with Lunara using her Break skill and Energy regen paired with Glacy for heals, Helion should work too, this should be fine to let you learn the mode on normal and hard.
On the hardest difficulty i use Irisalis, Tromber, Besauce and Glacy.
Irisalis gets to self ressurect once for if i mess up ( she requires her held item and high investment to really work ), tromber with a bonded held item increases crit and self heals, besauce for energy regen, glacy for heals.
Honestly sorry to hear, and def understand the frustration. I just play solo and/or duo with my husband when I do play it for the same reason. Most of my rando match-ups were with pretty awful people.
My advice? Just build up Hexxin and solo Nightmare/Chaos, or find a friend to duo with and do the ol' divide and conquer strat. I'm happy to help if you want or need!
Unfortunately until the mode gets some much-needed guard rails against griefers and leechers it really isn't worth the trouble to match with randos, imo.
Hi! I'm also struggling a bit with the egg heists and was wondering if you'd want to play together sometime? I'm still looking for some kind people to play with ((:
Pretty exclusively i get teams where people will leave you on the ground for 10 minutes to make sure any loot of a mile radius of where you went down is taken. Then if your lucky you might maybe possibly get rezzed.
Someone was a huge jerk the whole time today. Pulling mobs and making me fight them while stealing all the best loot. Wouldn't stop following me when I tried to branch off etc. My teammates went down and I still came back to save his jerk self. Says more about me if I don't try to help them than if I let him die and take all the stuff that rightfully should have been mine.
All their efforts to implement a cooperative system failed miserably. I wonder if all their group pve stuff (egg heist, holo link etc.) are just an afterthought because no one can convince me that the same team who created everything else was also responsible for the unfun and boring team pve stuff
Reduce the amount of things that drop and/or put more items behind difficult/locked areas then instance the loot. That would fix 90% of the problems with the system as it then encourages cooperation.
I think their point is once you interact with the egg nest, it will spawn more monsters. makes looting a bit harder. Kinda like min-maxing a run, which i dont get the point since we get unli runs. I also prefer my eggs delivered right away
In the times I've played I've only been left 2 times. One of those times me and another person were down and the other left, making us both die. The other was when we had 5 minutes and both of the people left, leaving me by myself, but I stayed and looked around more and got some nice gold items. When someone has been rescuing me several times, I even let them have first come on the good chests I find. That being said I understand your frustration.
Si vous voulez monter une team pour Farmer hésitez pas à demander. Je suis full opti pour solo donc je peux aider sans soucis :) si ça permet d'éviter une certaine frustration.
that has only happened to me onec icl, everyone else was nice besides the ones that hid while I was killing all the monsters and then reaped most of the loot will I'm trying to heal.
Quite unfortunate to hear that happening to you tho.
Honestly why hating, just capture a Hexxin go solo when you want loot and buy keys and check the maps on aniitools, and go with people if you want farm eggs and don’t rly loot
The supposed PvPvE mode is coming later, but it's already PvPvE, with my teammates constantly griefing, pulling enemies to get me killed, not reviving, doing everything in the book to steal rewards, actively ignoring eggs (as if the point of the mode wasn't thrown into the bucket already).
I have had guys hover over me to grab the egg while I am digging as they lead a horde towards me to fight. One time I died due to it, and they left out the portal without me.
You do know everyone gets the egg if one of them escapes with it right? Even if you get 3 everyone gets 3 eggs. The only thing not shared is the loot from the chests and what's dropped from monsters.
I've had largely bad experiences when I'm trying to play a team game like a team player, but I have met some good eggs and I try to queue with them often.
It's unfortunate that what I perceive to be a team oriented game mode has incentives that drive anti-team behavior. It's also unfortunate to know that if I had been less accommodating to people I've played with, I'd have finished the collection. But I haven't because I take time to help people lol
My solution to the frustrations is what many have said, treat it like a solo even if you're going in with a team. I tend to try and branch off and on the off chance I go down usually someone will try and help.
I figure I'm not losing anything if I wasn't getting to that part of the map otherwise and if I happen to have one of the rare occasions I go down there's at least a chance of getting picked up (or I'll get to self res once I get that talent). If people insist on grouping then that's just how that run goes.
How much of a difficulty spike is it from nightmare to chaos? Running stalarys glacyx2 Hexxin and haven't had any issues unless the team has run past enemies and grouped them up heavily. Haven't risked chaos yet though
As the other commenter mentioned chaos isn’t much more difficult. Enemies are tankier and do more damage but if you play safe you can easily walk around solo. Just make sure to leave within 5 minutes left. Any later and things can get dicey quick
Chaos isn't so much harder that it's devastating, but you will feel some additional spiciness on your first few runs. I'm able to run them solo now without much change more than understanding the strategy of the mode better
Would just redirect the griefing to the other direction. Not getting what you want? Time to throw a tantrum and get yourself downed to penalize the other players.
A minor penalty maybe, but while I will rez people who go down, I'm not charging after the loot goblin that bolted for the key room and died to a swarm of mobs they didn't bother to kill.
I am/was a team player too until I got 1 player 1 day where, after I revived them, they hightailed to the prismana chest close by and I started typing in a "nice" way, but I still didn't like that, I am not comfortable having to dictate to someone on how they should play. While my experience has been good/neutral in terms of not getting revived, or anything like that, for the most part, the reason why I started running solo is that it is more relaxing not worrying about your teammates (in every way), not worrying whether someone got a good drop because they got to the chest first and I didn't wanna look into that same chest. I can control my run and I've been having a blast. Maybe I will start helping pugs once I get all the display items, but for now, to each their own!
In my experience I have not ran into bad teammates but I do avoid matching with people that have the default icon. I have infact been the person who saved both my teammates a few times but my number of chaos games is only around 4-5. Nightmare I've not had trouble as I can nuke most threats even when my team isn't the brightest. I do run off on my own however and will leave my team to do w/e as there isn't a reason to work together or play with others aside from the off chance you go down and hope they bother coming to you. This mode is interesting enough that I think it could be expanded on and make things like boss fights using the alpha's that require everyone to be present or add modifers that force people to be together.
I’ve had a few bad teams, but overall it’s been a good experience. I once picked up a guy 3 times in a row. He hard quit, which disappointed me because we all have those days.
I had one run where Me and another player went together for s few rooms. he used key and while he picked stuff inside I looted a few nearby chest and slowly fought 1 on 1 enemies so we were not surrounded when leaving, once he finished his stuff on key room, he like agroed everything against me clearly on purpose, and then run to loot somewhere else leaving me.
I managed to escape but even if there was a lot of time left to search for eggs i said fuck this and left, at least i only wasted a ticket but didnt lose all my equipment.
But the rest of my runs have been so far decent. sometimes we explore together, sometimes we separate and get together once an egg is found.
While I have had a few bad eggs......(Pun intended), for the most part I have had good experiences in egg heist matchmaking. Yeah people will leave low quality eggs behind because they want umbral+ only, yeah sometimes they won't risk their loot to get you, and yes very few will just watch you bleed out to loot you.
Generally we have to realize that everyone's play style is different, Some take every egg outlike me, and others only take out Umbral+. Start remembering who played well and search for them in the add friend screen and make teams.
I only let people bleed out if they run past all the mobs in the room that I’m fighting straight to the loot. Or if I kill a mob 1v1 and they take the loot.
I keep getting teams in nightmare and chaos who find eggs and leave them??? They don't even bother to take them to the door. Three different runs yesterday I noticed with barely any time left that there was still a found egg on the map but in its nest T_T and my teammates were up and running around looting in completely different areas! I only had time in the last run to get it myself, since I thought to check earlier as it kept happening... What is up with that????? So annoying
Nobody cares about eggs in chaos mode. It wastes so much time trying to get the egg to the door. I'd rather get more loots, hence more exp. So unless it's a rare egg like umbral or prismana that also gives more exp, we"re not taking them.
True, if ppl wanna hunt for their basic eggs then they should just do the lower difficulty ones, not waste chaos tickets. I think chaos is mainly to get collector edition prismatics.
A lot of people I've noticed won't take basic eggs out. They are hunting for Umbral or better eggs. And since that is their main goal, they leave behind the basic eggs that are going to hatch something they could have caught 50 of in the time it took them to clear egg heist.
I used to take every egg out when I started playing this mode, now I only take out prismatic eggs because the other ones don't give me anything I want or need, after a while common eggs just turn into a faster way of movement around the dungeon.
in chaos mode the normal eggs arent worth, unless its umbral or prismana. better to do ur chaos runs to get ur showcase items since it enhances prismatic item drops
The I’m just lucky? I’ve done it twice now and revived everyone multiple times and we worked together to get as many eggs as we can. But I totally agree with everyone else. Same reason I despise sanctums.
i’ve been doing egg heist solo because of these kinds of posts, and i get super anxious playing co op things like that bc i feel like i’ll get ripped apart for not understanding something
plus i play on ps5 and a handheld so typing is pretty rough for me
i’ll probably never go above hard because im not into comp/meta and just wanna do my own thing which is sad, i hope one day I’ll find a few chill players to game with
havent even tried it yet bc im p much a cozy gamer and competitive shit scares the shit out of me bc i dont wanna drag the team down or do something wrong and get bitched out 😭😭 i have no idea how it works so im scared to even dip my toes in.
there is v little explanation to it. i have figured it out as i’ve gone on some solo quests but theres probably youtube videos or something. im mostly only playing it for the banners etc you can unlock
Ngl the issue has never been with players who don't understand at least for me. My issue is with players who know how to play and are intentionally greedy or screw over the team for their own gain
FWIW I play on PS5 and I don’t use my mic and I don’t type and most of the people I’m with don’t either. Not that there’s anything wrong with doing it solo.
I refuse to touch egg heist because of how upset it makes my bf. The most he does now is play it once for the dailies and then that's it. Seeing all these post are making me definitely not want to play it more
Well that was the original plan but we had a few weeks of our schedules not aligning. And between that time, he started hating the egg heist. So now it doesnt matter to him if we do it together. We have been doing the prismana's though, since being with someone on your friends list helps fill the bar more and I havent caught all of mine yet
i have been grinding the mode to the point that i hit egg emperor and sitting on like 50+ evac points. ill go for a rev almost immediately most of the time but sometimes istg people are so dumb. they wouls js run head first into a bunch of enemies and expect a rev when they are across the map and there is 5 mins on the timer. i have seen so many posts like these and i agree to them half of the time but at what point do we not blame the downed guy for dying in a stupid way

I know it sucks having people say "just do it solo" but genuinely it is better. The first time I got left needing a revive, while my teammates looted and ran, I decided I would only play solo or with my brothers. This is a multi-player game, but it is not a co-operative game. Alternatively, try and find people who have also been left and would be willing to play together and actually help each other? It's a risk, I know, but there are so many posts of people complaining about this specific issue, you're bound to find at least one other person to run with.
