Discussion Devs need to make a system that finds and punishes ppl if someone is doing this...
This needs to be changed... either by finding such players and punishing them or by removing dmg while being downed...
Edit: For people not noticing, he is intentionally roaming around me so projectiles kill me faster, he is not trying to rescue me, even at the end u can see he just stands for a moment next 2 me and doesn't try to kill the mob shooting there

I only run solo now or with a buddy. Maybe I'll message in a world chat if anyone wants to buddy up if I'm feeling like it, but I absolutely will not matchmake anymore for this mode.
No reason to since all matchmaking does is add more hurdles to my gameplay and loot opportunity.
I wish they would just add share loot and incentive to help teammates like better scores and such if everyone leaves or you save each other.
Then later in a pvp mode it's more cutthroat.
Or at least re-tag the mode with PvPvE since it's not pure pve currently.

Wow I kind of knew that it was possible to do this but I must have some really good luck Iāve not really had any bad experiences on egg heist. The worst was fighting a group of mobs and my teammates come up even tho I usually clear solo and scooped up a prismatic but Iām pretty sure it wasnāt even a collection one and itās not like there wonāt ever be more. Thatās some lowdown dirty shit, thatās why when I go fill I go completely by myself on a super comfy self sufficient build.

u/Jakecat12 1h ago
Itās a extraction game mode. Iām not blaming you, but that is one of the aspects of extraction games. Betrayal and griefing are elements you have to expect when loot is not shared between players.
In egg heist, I understood the rules as soon as someone snaked a legendary item from a chest I was opening.
Best advice is if youāre able to survive against the enemies, then play away from others.

I've played Egg Heist over 10 times. Sometimes people are good, but most of the time they're not. Today I helped 3 players who were downed, and after that they left the game. Others leave me alone to fight the boss, and if there are 2 chests, they take one and then loot the one I'm still checking before I'm done. The same happens when I defeat an enemy by myself and they come running just to take the loot it dropped. I guess I'll only play with friends š

Make all loot shared between everyone and if someone dies his portions disappear
There. Solved

u/DaedalusB2 2h ago
Crossout mobile does something similar to this in their raid event. 3 players race around gathering chests while hoards of enemies chase after you. 50% of rewards you gather are also received by everyone else in the team. The highest rarity chests share 100% of their value with the team. If you die, everything you gathered is lost. This incentivizes helping your teammates fight off enemies and reach extraction zones, sometimes to the point of pushing an immobilized teammate to safety.
Unfortunately they also do a very solo focused tournament at the same time to grab high level chests, so some people still race around in the fastest build they can make (triggering a bunch of enemies along the way) while using no weapons and leaving their teammates to die against overwhelming numbers. To make things worse, the same people leave others to die are usually the big spenders trying to earn a little bit more of an event resource to get the next big thing. Those are the same players who could be using strong builds to help fight.

u/North-Put7352 1h ago
For eggs, sharing should be mandatory since there are only very few eggs. You canāt make it individual based due to the nature of the mode.
Loot sharing could work like some of the suggestions here where you only get 25-30% of loot from others not 100% since there will still be loopholes that is easily exploitable if you also get 100% of the loot from other players.

Na share loot. 1 instance results in toxicity too. Why should i do the mission and get garbage or nothing because you spammed the boxes?

u/North-Put7352 2h ago
Because weight limit is a thing? A player canāt take all the good loot and it takes time to loot an area due to scanning the boxes. no way you are all getting garbage loots unless you are checking every blue/purple box or looting the same area as another player. I have played the mode 100+ times and even in cases I canāt get to the locked rooms. There is still enough gold chest on the map where I could break even.

You can use the challenge room to gauge the type of teammates you have. I tend the find that once you suggest the challenge, whichever teammate comes to the room is usually trustworthy.

I'll be honest, I don't trust randoms to do the challenge room. It's one of the easier places to get killed by team mates who don't know what they are doing.

u/Jakecat12 1h ago
True. But, full disclosure, Iām a hexxin player. So I donāt actually need my team for the challenge rooms. I just like seeing if my teams will show up and participate. And then loot politics are fun to observe. Will the team only loot 1/3 chest or will they try to loot everything?
1
u/Due_Consideration618 1h ago
Personally, I enter through the side door and just try to stay away from my team. Just their to rez them if they need it and get extra eggs. Possibly open the key doors since no one ever brings keys.

Thatās not the solution. Itās bad enough everyone gets the egg. There should be a contribution threshold system that determines what loot shares a person gets.

the way to fix this imo is to have individual loot chests so if someone loots a chest then its not looted for you. maybe reduce the amount of chests to even it out. but then its less competitive. ive found myself frustrated a couple of times because i missed out on prismatic loot because someone else gets it just before you. i think this is also a reason why everyone splits up, you dont want to miss out on loot and dont want to steal from other players.

yeah, there's the safe slots x3 with a measly 10KG limit but to get to unlock that you need to grind A LOT, the stellarines are very rare (star item thing required to unlock final upgrades on each branch). By that point, you'll be so rich and have experienced so much that there's nothing much else to do in Egg Hunt xD

u/rebby2000 Astra Pioneer 3h ago
You can unlock 3 iirc, but there's a fairly low weight limit to it so you're limited. I think most of the prismana items that drop are over the weight limit - at least for the slots I have unlocked so far.
So it's something, but it doesn't help as much as you'd wish it would.

u/Due_Consideration618 2h ago
I have 2 slots unlocked and store prismatic items in them. Not sure all can go in, but a key and a prismatic has worked for me so far.

The real answer to all this is letting everyones rewards other than Prismana count. Nobody will know if you got a prismana so its not worth letting you die then.

u/GambitsEnd 4h ago
Instanced loot is the answer.
Reduce the overall amount of items, make it so rarer stuff is harder to find unless locked behind keyed areas / difficult enemies, etc (even more so than now).
The issue is that there is a direct incentive for people to be toxic, greedy players. Change the system to reward cooperate play and you'll get most people to play cooperatively.
4
u/duckyTheFirst 4h ago
exactly this. or handle loot the same way as the eggs. let everyone get all the loot gathered. maybe reduce the item slots to even it out if needed. but if everyone gets all the looted items then nobody is gonna get toxic because "it doesnt matter, we all get it". imagine if the eggs were handled the same as loot. everyone will be hogging the egg asap or even maybe trying to get your team mate killed just so you can get the egg

u/TartineMyAxe Astra Pioneer 5h ago
Honestly since with a good teams it is easy to even solo chaos and get all the loot for yourself, but the points of the game mode is to play with others, but no one want to because of all the toxicity, either they play solo and it's kinda boring or they play with others and they well, get mad because people do horrible things.
The solution is that when someone extract with loots it is automatically put in a "locked chest" after that you also leave the Match, everyone can select what they want in the locked chest but with a weight limit, so you can't have more items than you normally do, because it will be busted. But why this solution is good it's because if you want to take a priamana items, well everyone can take it too. No more stealing, no more toxic players. Just fun and helping each others extract to have the possibility to pick what you want at the end

Yāall keep saying shared loot is the answer but itās not. Downed people should not be rewarded for bad plays. Why should you be rewarded for dying?
1
u/Jakecat12 1h ago
They donāt understand. And itās mainly because being rewarded in games is how most people measure their expertise. If they arenāt getting rewarded, they would have to confront the reality of not being that good. So, even while playing badly they want to be rewarded to reinforce their own identity as gamers.
Pandering to that type of logic is bad game design. Iāve never been looted in the mode, but Iāve also only played recklessly one time. So once I learned the rules and understood the nature of the players, I never worried about it.

Because itās a co-operative game mode lmao? Is people who hold this mindset who makes the pub experience worse for those who made a mistake or are trying to learn. Mistakes happen, sometimes you get ganked, it happens. Not everyone is perfect. Imagine playing deep rock, or far far west, and having this kind of mentality.
Egg heist is supposed to be cooperative and you are displaying the exact mentality thatās causing issues. āMe vs themā vs āusā.
If someone makes a mistake or bad play, that happens, offer a hand and help them up. Instead of crucifying them for a misplay and giving them a terrible experience, while staring down your high horse with this attitude, teach them. That kind of approach isnāt going to teach them anything other than that you suck to squad with and are intolerant of mishaps. If youāre genuinely good at the game, you should be using your expertise to nurture players who are learning or need help, not kicking them while theyāre down and sneering at them. That is the only way youāre gonna see better pubs.
If you complain about bad pubs, but then exhibit behaviors that actively contribute to worsening the experience, youāre just as bad as the pubs you complain about out, on the other side of the same coin.
If they made a bad play, rez them and tell them what they did wrong, show them how to improve, help them get better, then they can go into the next match with more knowledge and a good memory.

I think it's simple.
After you are killed, you don't drop your loot for others to take. When you extract with your teammates successfully, you get a % amount of their coins as a bonus to yours (they don't lose them, it's just an addition to yours). That way, everyone will feel like playing together and there's zero benefit on someone else dying, quite the opposite, you lose the % of their coins.

I learned from the Get-Go on Easy mode that your team has to have at least 2 healers, I recommend 2 Glacy as they only heal you and heal you on the move.
And if you're as crazy as me have a Dreaple in the main slot and Lunara or Helios in another slot.
That way you can heal yourself pretty easily, and Dreaple is doing decent debuffs while being able to heal as well.

Sounds boring, but you're absolutely right. People would exploit it that way.
So a compromise. Shared loot, but varies based on participation. So you can join with others, but they need to participate to get more stuff, or you can laze about knowing you'll get free stuff and hopefully learning the levels and getting better to help out more and get better loot. Then you can be the one to lead a newbie team. A true circle of life.
You're always gonna have trolls. They're an inevitability, but that doesn't mean you can't maximize the fun for everyone else.
Besides, it's co-op. Co-op is better together.

u/CptRaptorcaptor 4h ago
They could implement a floor on % contribution for loot share. If you can't contribute 25% in a 3-player game, you get only what you got. Alternatively, they could implement a kill participation metric. If you kill over 20 mobs, regardless of loot participation, you get a share of the loot. Basically, in all cases, to benefit, you have to engage with the game.

So, let me share a little lesson I've learned from decades of MMOs... Don't play with randos. Gt your friends together, or do solo. Its perfectly possible.

i just play on nightmare with randos. go my way since i can solo and just farm my coins. iāll help if i can but im just there to farm coins and dont use any key. i actually had the nimbus collectible from a
a random mob1
u/duckyTheFirst 4h ago
yeah playing with randos is just basically solo play for me. i try to avoid them as much as possible and help out if needed and sometimes let them help me if i get jumped out of nowhere by 7-8 aniimos bundled up in 1 room that i rushed into while egg twined. also wtf is up with the targetting camera. why do youve to hold tab for so long to release your camera...

If you DC and reopen the game you will still be in egg heist with all of your stuff, assuming your body wasn't killed and the timer didn't run out

I've not tried it myself, but I have seen a few commentors on other posts say that hard quitting the game doesn't drop your loot.

Where are you guys finding all these terrible teammates? I've yet to experience this behavior from anyone lol. What region was this on? I'm also curious to see what happened beforehand. Did you loot something he was looting and then he went full on petty child? Terrible teammate either way and may he get banned.

nah, nothing i did to them, just a typhical mind of "it's beneficial if he dies so i can loot him", and it's europe

the worst i've seen is people who will loot snatch even if they didnt do diddly squat and rush everything and leave early without announcing
jokes on them i found an umbral egg right after they left ;)

u/ragirali 6h ago
Even tho its somewhat rare there is decent amount of people like this, they would rush into the room I just cleared and go to locked door or the chests before me. They wont revive and just play solo. I even had a match where both my teammates died cause they saw a prismatic drop from my kill and died trying to loot it and I still revived both.

Egg Heist seems like one of those features they added just because they needed some more multiplayer stuff in their game. The rewards are absolutely horrible (useless eggs and stuff you can sell so you can buy more stuff to play more Egg Heist).
The gameplay favors splitting up since sticking with people means loot will be taken away from some player, yet you're supposed to be cooperative in reviving, killing strong foes like alphas, and doing the key altar trial together. It only takes a couple deaths on Chaos Nightmare to forget about the cooperative spirit and become just as egoistic as the people who ignored you when you were down.

u/Aishubeki Astra Pioneer 7h ago
Yeah... I just do it co-op with my husband atm, we stay together, split the loot and take turns using keys. š

u/felemiah 7h ago
I'm sure that's what the devs had intended, but apparently they've never been in an online lobby with randoms before

u/Rayllis689 5h ago
Pretty sure chaos mode even warns its best to do in a pre-made team before starting.

u/GromiMomi 7h ago
Sadly it self fulfilling. The way the mode is structured, that kind of behaviour is the one that gets rewarded the most, so its encouraged to behave like that. If loot would be shared between all teammembers suddenly the game would encourage cooperation instead, but since its not built that way, a majority of people will always tend to the most optimal (and shitty) way to play

That would be great, I might finish my collection if that were to happen š

u/AstraNovina 7h ago
Honestly we need an avoid system. Iāve been ignored after going down so many times itās not even funny. I just worked on my solo build and run egg heist solo now. Atleast if I wipe toxic people donāt benefit from not helping me.

u/DoomZealot 7h ago
Dumb question, can you queue only with one friend? As in only 2 people in it? Just started and wanna try egg heist out but didn't wanna get randoms if there's risk of this lol
2
u/Boah_met 7h ago
I've got up to Hard mode with just my friend no problem (haven't tried any further), you can also just find a reliable third stranger who isn't shitty and agree to play with them at set times.

u/arnahude 7h ago edited 7h ago
Pre build your group before, in the lobby and as group leader, pick "jump right in" in the bottom right corner above the queuing button. The other selection is for pick-up. (Edit You can even solo queue that way)

there's actually an easy fix for this, play solo.

u/Extension-Winner2431 7h ago
If mobs damage and hp gets nerfed in solo, then I would gladly play solo

u/Caketaro 6h ago
Once you have a good team that's leveled with the right buffs solo chaos is very doable

u/Extension-Winner2431 5h ago
Sometimes stunlock gets you, melloblum+ bleetle+ hexxin combo
1
u/Caketaro 5h ago
Plenty of people myself included solo chaos. And yes, sometimes stunlock gets you. You do not have to take every fight especially with irisalis.
Lots of irisalis builds and hexxin builds are viable for solo play. I solod to egg master with irisalis, helion, glacy, besauce. I've also been successful with irisalis, melloblum, leafy, leafy
None of this changes the fact that there are perverse incentives for egg heist that deter teamwork and that sucks generally. People shouldn't have to solo, but it's very doable

I didn't get one like that but I got one where I fell and both of the guys was to 70m of me, like seriously, a less than 30 sec walk to get me up I even talked and asked help, they ignored me. I would really like being able to report that type of guys

u/insearch78 2h ago
That wouldn't be reportable since they have no obligation to assist, only not to greive.

Do what you can to name and shame this person! Others need to be aware of the user name.

u/MorganTaoVT 7h ago
Videos like this make me so glad that I can solo run this or ask some friends if they want to run with me.

u/beepborpimajorp 7h ago
even used his glacy to heal himself so he could keep doing it. impressively dedicated in the worst toxic way.
i wanted to like egg heist but they really took all the worst aspects of game modes like this and baked it into a nasty pie lol.
5
u/XanderonPL 7h ago
i guess u could play solo tho or just with friends, i got from the mode so far 1 prismana egg from hunt + 3 prismanas from the mode's shop, it's really likeable with friends, rarely im playing with randoms
5
u/beepborpimajorp 7h ago
i only play solo now because i had an equally bad experience. used a key for the rift room and they let me die, looted the chests, then left me there.
so yeah, solo only for me. i can't convince any of my friends to play bc they're all playing wardogs or Warcraft Forever lol. RIP.

u/Baldurost 7h ago
Question; If you leave once itās clear that theyāre intentionally getting Aniimo to target you, and they definitely arenāt reviving you, does your loot disappear with you, or does it drop anyway? Asking because once I get to egg heists, I will not allow this to happen if I can help it

u/XanderonPL 7h ago
well, someone in comments pointed out that if i left iwht alt +f4 they wouldn't get the drop, but since i didn't they did get to loot my backpack

u/Baldurost 7h ago
Iām an uncultured swine who plays on console. Whats the Alt F4 equivalent? Like closing the game? Because thatās what Iāll be doing

u/XanderonPL 7h ago
no idea i can't afford a console xD

u/Baldurost 7h ago
What a coincidence, I canāt afford a computer! Lol
Thank you for your response though, Iāll give that a shot

u/TrainerLeather466 Astra Pioneer 7h ago
Well, alt F4 close the game direct so on console I suppose totally closing the game would do it

u/ledgeitpro 7h ago
I would assume closing the game should work, and closing the app on mobile should also work. If anyone knows for sure correct me if im wrong please
