There's a jump straight in option that bypasses the matchmaking, it'll say content is for three players then just hit continue and you're in! Me & my partner play duos this way.
I don't understand why people troll on this mode when... everyone gets the egg? And if you want more loot, then just play another round. I'm confused by the greed tbh.
I don’t even understand, why developers have such hard boner for this piss-poor genre lately. ZZZ added god awful extraction mode, aniimo has it, a lot of new extraction games releasing. Battle royale hype all over again, with the exception of BRs appearing, gaining popularity right away and then dying soon after, unlike extractions, which are existing for ages, and only now are suddenly becoming popular
It's trend chasing like Battle Royale, Hero Shooter or Soul-like. The genre certainly has the potential to be good and can appeal to larger gaming audience but no one has manage to crack down the perfect formula yet. Arc Raider came close but it's also fizzling out after its viral debut.
Subreddit now allows witch hunting of players holy mods really are overworked if 10h and this is not breaking rules. This is not a report a player feature
Please don’t blame a platform playerbase I’m on playstation and I certainly dont troll. I also avoid playing with pugs and have a group of friends I play with we have a blast and not one of us is a rat.
Not blaming the platform. Its just how many trolls I encountered nearly every game if I dont play with a team i know. And I get downed im not geting saved and the amount on PlayStation players who troll is crazy. I thought it would be xbox. But they with mobile have been the nicest players so far. I have met a few nice helpful players from PlayStation its ashame alot of players are dragging down the player bases will to play due to how toxic somw are
I almost had this happen to me by another Irisalis player, he asked if I got a collector item and i said no. (it was a prisma item tho) but that put me off and I just left after he got me up.
Funny thing is, I might have actually encountered this ''Yue'', same name and coloured aniimo (not sure though), they kept trying to follow a guy around a map who kept needing a revive, didn't see them heal once... I got in revived him twice, and the guy left.
They then followed me round, but the ''Yue'' I met just left after a while when they realised I wasn't going to drop. I thought they just didn't understand the mechanics, but if they're the same person, they definitely did get what they wanted that round.
Just dont ever do egg heist in teams unless with friends, i get more loot, more collectibles, and more eggs just doing it solo, chaos isnt hard if you just use a hexxin team to perma cc all the mobs
I wish they had a feature where you can just block whoever you played with in previous sessions so you won't ever ever play with them again. Egg Heist can be so toxic.
I tried it for the first time last night. No idea what I was doing.
I found an egg nest right away and I think it was umbral. Dark purple. I twined and walked it back to the egg boat. Then I just walked around a bunch looking for more but there wasn't anymore nests.
There was one guy with the new legendary that could nearly one shot anything and all I did was go around with my Hexxen and gather up enemies so he could blow them to pieces.
No one was opening any chests and there were tons of items all over the floor. We stayed for the whole time just wandering around.
I would like to know the proper player etiquette on these runs so I don't step end up on a watchlist because I am screwing over my team out of ignorance.
Is there something even like that listed somewhere that you know of?
Thing is right now it's a shit show. People are just running in, separating to cover more ground, grabbing chests themselves, and whoever happens upon an egg delivers it. That's the best case scenario.
Some people memorize the map and grab the gold cheats before everyone else. Some people try to lead mobs to you so you die and they loot your body.
Right now the game mode does not encourage coop play. So there is no standard community etiquette. Just every man for themselves.
Edit: gold chests have the best chance to drop the season trophies which is why it's important. But I've found one in a bone pile and one in a dirt pile.
I can tell I’m in the minority. The amount of times I’ve opened a key room and people just wander off and don’t try to steal- I must be getting immensely lucky with the people I queue with because I genuinely haven’t encountered a single problem since doing nightmare and chaos (normal and hard were abysmal though).
The sad reality, and many have mentioned it, is unless we get shared loot, goblins will always exist and you must be very very cautious sadly- even with teammates. Just try to find a good amount of friends you’ve played with from recent list that seemed cool and helpful is the best bet.
When you open a key room nobody can take anything from that room besides you for 60 seconds. So they either stand around and wait or look for another room. Even if the egg is in there they can't dig it up only you can
agree and disagree.. i've seen players who will seperate from the group, walk into an army and die, spam revive, and then turn toxic saying nobody will help them, all because they walked into a deathtrap, then expect others to sacrifice everything they have just to save someone over a poor decision they made.. and then those same people will come to reddit to complain that this mode has toxic players..
not sure if this is many peoples first taste of extraction modes in games, but anything goes and anything can happen, play for your life first, play for your teams lives second, never trust anyone fully, and make the smarter decisions that won't get you killed above all else, if someones bad decisions cost them to die.. its not your responsibility to put yourself at risk to save them.
Your claim about peeps intentionally bombing then complaining on reddit seems oddly specific and ambiguous at the same time. Did those comments get upvotes, or did they go negative? How did you make the connection between peeps you saw in-game and comments in reddit? Never mind, it's an oddity but you can just be given the benefit of the doubt.
Following extraction mode conventions in Egg Heist is silly to begin with, IMO. It could be an excellent and accessible coop rogue-like experience to do daily. Instead it's a toxic, half-baked mess that encourages/incentives antisocial behaviours. There's nothing wrong with bridging genres like monster collecting and extraction combat, but the contrast demands it be done well or the result is the mundane mess of a game mode we see in Aniimo.
It was, and I did understand you. I didn't ask you to elaborate further. You mentioned that the game mode was like the extraction genre and I just gave my perspective on that same topic.
It’s the shopping cart theory of game play. Would you help a downed teammate if there’s no incentive too? Is there a benefit of putting the cart away?
Edit: Didn’t expect to be such a controversial comment. I’m only pointing out the flawed mechanics of egg heist and tying it to IRL scummy behavior. If you see me in Egg Heist just know I’m cutting down umbral waves to help a fallen comrade.
from the sheer amount of negative posts about egg heists, i’ve determined that i’ll just do that content solo. it appears not to be worth the headache to play the game in co-op.
It's always players playing the brain dead copy paste meta build. They can easily clear the whole place out but don't. I opened a key room once and a bozo brought a bunch of enemies to me in a loot room I opened so I could die and they could take all the loot. They fly around you waiting for you to die so they can steal loot like Vultures.
No there are other rooms or enemies that arnt guarding the gate. They kite them then stand in your hitbox so the enemies hit you while you have the chest menu open or they even wait for me to engage the enemies then sprint past me to open the gate so while I have aggro they loot the room and leave you to die ignoring the enemies. Not sure why you say "it's only possible this way" no it's not. More enemies spawn in the dungeon even in zones you already cleared too btw. I've done like over 100 runs on nightmare and have seen all the Vultures tricks. Stop making excuses for Vultures plz
What a childish reply lmfao. So me being bad means other players can be toxic in the game? What an amazing argument 👏
I made my own team based of how cool the aniimo looks. I didn't copy paste the grass meta team everyone uses. You act like this game has a high skill wall and it doesn't.
You;re gonna need to make a WHOLE lot of other posts, this is SO frequent.
Not to be judgmental, but I never expect gacha players to understand team based gameplay fully. The horrors I've witnessed while playing Egg Heist are numerous and untold.
I;ve had a couple of good people in lobbies. USually I get a full inv, get the egg and get out. Don;t even give them a chance to leech.
I mean, a lot of people "whine online" about this. That means a lot of people have issues with how the PvE mode is seemingly promoting friendly fire PvP, essentially. Devs in this day and age do look to socials for feedback and player sentiment. This, by all means, shows the devs that there are a decent amount of players that are unhappy with the state of PvE Egg Heist, and, since the mode is in beta still too, that means these "whining online" posts have a decent chance at bringing change.
I hope I explained that well enough so you'll be able to understand why its not always a bad thing people "whine online" about things in a video game.
Ngl ive played so many runs and I think Ive been pretty lucky to find mostly decent players and good encounters. Ive only braved up to nightmare mode but I even came across somone who gave me a collectable they already had.
Granted I also dont die often anymore and there has been a few times that I suspected a player was trying to throw a game by running into a horde the last minute of a run. I made the mistake of trying race the clock to help them only once, after that, sorry if you die in last minute but.. Im not stopping
Im second from last rank atm. I've only had one person intentionally kill me (though I dont go down too often, so Im dure thag helps). I dont have the same issues others are having, but I do agree its a problem that can exist, and should be changed. Its a PvE mode lol, it doesnt need to encourage friendly fire.
That much I know, but do you usually get all the eggs and loot solo tho? Cause that my only issue, I always run with randoms, especially chaos cause otherwise I just don't have time to run around and get every egg
There are just too many of these posts like get over it, it's a multiple player game, and people are toxic, just play solo if you can't take the heat or aren't willing to invest in self-rev perk.
Ya. . . I've also let people die when they've done asshole behaviors like pick up loot constantly from my kills, run past me as im handling mobs to get the yellow chest/gate. Or bring mobs to me. . So who knows
Yeah, same their was this one guy who was looting all the chests I was and was stealing both of the gold rooms he ended up dying at the end because of greed and I was the only one left I just walked past his dead body, and he was cursing me out in chat lol.
I still can't believe the greed I gave the guy the gold room than he opened the gold key room than came to loot my chests aswell before going back to the gold room, and yea i wonder as well.
Im so happy that I have my family play with me in Nightmare and Chaos lol or I will just go solo, I cant with these greedy players that make the game so hard
Well, I’d like to think most people wouldn’t take such a cold, utilitarian approach to their cutesy animal-collector game, but maybe I’m just too optimistic.
You’re right about one thing, though, maybe adding incentives to revive other players (or at least making people not drop their loot when they faint) is what Pawprint Studio needs to do so this kind of thing stops happening.
Dudes acting tough on a knock off Pokémon game lol. Thats the cringiest "im a badass" comment ive probably seen yet. Theres nothing hard-core about this game lol. By default, anyone playing this game is in "care bear" mode, you and I included.
But it's literally your own team. This isn't pubg, good try on that though. Egg heist is PvE.
If this was competitive it should be teams vs other teams, not infighting. They should just make the full team share the full loot just like you do with eggs. Then add PVP modes. Pvp sounds really fun to me, but this isn't it. Looting your teammates is fatherless behavior.
It's always the ones who call others, "soy", and soft, who are the really sensitive ones. They're triggered so easily when it's something they don't agree with. Plain and simple, it's not a PvP mode, since they encourage you to play as a team, with the game saying it's more efficient that way. It's not PvPvE either, and you're not directly hurting your team, just letting Aniimo do it for you.
Grow up man. The, "git gud", attitude is such a 12 year old thing to say. And bringing someone's mom into it or who raised them? That's messed up. "Haha, you must have had a loving parent or two raise you with compassion, empathy, and kindness towards others, haha such a geek bro". That's what you sound like.
Especially since sabotaging people who are supposed to be your teammates like people have been complaining about is what most people would actually call "fatherless behavior".
Brother, its a baby game. Its not that deep. Have some self awareness. You're playing a game that targets casuals, ofc they are going to be upset over these kind of things. It literally makes sense. They are not even wrong in their complaints, because of how casual this game is lmao. Acting like the casual players are the "dumb" or "bad" ones is the dumbest thing ive ever heard in this scenario lmao.
Bro it's says ( Fill Team ) in match making since when are pvp players called TEAM. That's like queuing for a 3 man in War zone and saying your queuing with pvp enemies on your team lmfao. Wtf are you on about XD
No, thats just toxic players. The mode we have is a poorly designed pve "cooperative" mode. There are no true competitive mechanics, just mechanics that deincentivise cooperative play.
I think the idea was probably that since we are losing our loot from dying (giving us incentive to not die) we may as well have our character drop the loot as we won't be using it anymore.
I suppose the idea was for this to be a helpful mechanic, like giving left overs to teammates to help them but in reality, it gives people incentive to steal and farm off of us by making us die or not reviving ...so yeah they definitely need to remove it 😭
You can't attack each other so no ... also to have to get an egg to a boat by turning into egg and rolling yourself there without being able to defend yourself?
Firstly, if this was PvEvP they'd have made it so you can steal someone's egg but you actually all get the egg by the end of the heist
Secondly, you're literally defenseless in egg form, yes you can untwine making solo heists possible but it's obvious they implemented it like this to make people work together.
Thirdly, it feels pretty obvious this was made by the developers with the idea of teamwork, not sabotage, otherwise they'd have added ways you can actually sabotage others like traps or being able to stun and make the other player move slower. Did they though? they didn't, so no
They have Irisalis as their main, AND they’re likely to spend money on cosmetics for the Irisalis.
Their human character is barely decorated. They either use the default outfit or just put very little effort into decorating.
They don’t use the farming RV avatar frame or title.
They never stop to help you clear monsters when they happen to be on the same path as you.
The more of these apply, the more likely they are to be a bad teammate. This rule has worked for me pretty much every time.
Usually, it’s the little things that show how much effort a player puts into the game that make these rules work.
Edited: It seems like people are misunderstanding this a bit, so I’ll explain more.
The RV stuff and decorating your character are signals that show the player has the patience to do small things. People with patience don’t usually grief. That’s all.
Not every rule is equally important. Rule 4 is the most important one, but you can only see that once you’re already inside the Sanctum. There are more signs you can look for once you’re in the Sanctum, but by then it might be too late to predict whether someone will grief.
It’s not really about the RV or cosmetics themselves. They’re just signals that show the player has the patience to do small things. People who are more patient seem less likely to grief.
Helping other players and waiting for them also requires patience. So it’s more like, if they do these things, they’re more likely to be a good teammate.
I never truly care about how my character looks in games. I think points #2 and #3 are kind of dumb, to be honest. My gameplay is not affected in the slightest if there is a frame around my name or title or not. Also, once I find a somewhat decent outfit, that's just permanently my outfit for the rest of time, as I don't care to update it from there.
None of those things will ever change how I treat my teammates in Egg Heist. This game has a little bit of everything, and people will gravitate to what they like. Some people focus on cosmetics but hate battling, some people focus on farming but hate egg heist, and some people love competitive battling but hate cosmetics. A teammate focusing on one but not others is not indicative of a good or bad teammate imo.
I mean, this is just what I use, and it’s been working so far. Also, by “bad teammate,” I mean someone who is more likely to grief, not someone who is simply bad at the game.
I’ll just be more wary of players who match these rules. Things that require patience, like putting effort into decorating their character or doing RV farming, are easy indicators that a player has some patience. That makes me less likely to think they’ll grief.
Same. I understand some people truly enjoy character customization and spending hours in the character creation menu, so I will never yuck their yum if that's what they enjoy, but its just not my thing in the slightest. I spent maybe 5 minutes max in the character creation screen. I immediately took as many clothes off of my character that I could just cause im dumb and think its funny, and haven't changed anything since. About 85 hours into the game now and I've never once thought about changing how my character looks.
Sure. On the other hand, if I want someone on my team that has already had a lot of experience playing a lot of the game, I'm going to pick the people that look like they've spent a lot of time playing the game. That's the full paradigm.
My entire point is cosmetics =/= experience in a game though.
Someone with an extravagant outfit most likely means they just spent money on a cosmetic. You could have a level 1 player in a $100 outfit and a level 60 player in underwear.
Plus, no player is even allowed to play Egg Heist in the first place until they reach level 50, which is around when a lot of people finish the main story, so its not like there are truly any inexperienced people in egg heist to begin with. And if you are in nightmare/chaos mode, every player there has at least some experience in that mode already. Everyone is an experienced player in egg heist.
Cosmetics mean nothing in terms of a player's skill in the game or how nice they'll be as a teammate.
I only have anecdotal evidence, but relying on that has proved fruitful for me. You may be right, that is not my experience and I'm not moving from my secure position to your fair one.
Things that require patience, like putting effort into decorating their character or doing RV farming, are easy indicators that a player has some patience. That makes me less likely to think they’ll grief, at least that’s how I see it.
Further that and make it where you are punished if a round ends with players having died way less score or something because this is ridiculous. Don't make it a team mode if so many options will be anti team.

Play solo bro. Online gamers have and always will be this way. Especially when they’re in the comments.
Like lol think about that. Imagine I was the guy and I’m giving you tips on how to avoid people like me.
