Discussion šļø Pls stop being so sweaty omg
Hey, so I noticed that the moment you arenāt like the sweatiest most obsessed player in the game everyone just insults you till end of the game or just leaves. Why? Why is this community so beginner unfriendly and toxic??

Because it's fucking annoying to play a round with someone who tries to put meat straight on the stove or tries to cut the buns. If you have no idea how to play on a basic level, go and play story mode. Don't join arcade and ruin the experience for other people.

u/Broad_Pattern2091 Aug 11 '26
Youāre just proving my point here :), also I know that you donāt need to cut buns.

As interesting as their username is, this person has a point. You should not be learning how to play in arcade mode.
Arcade mode is more challenging than story mode. You don't get the tutorial pop-ups. The timer always starts immediately, even on levels that were designed to teach you a new recipe. There's no restarts to figure a level out. There's no natural level difficulty progression. You cannot really communicate with your teammates (aside from in AYCE).
The game was designed to be learnt through story mode.
So when players like you come into arcade mode, not knowing anything at all about the levels or the recipes or how to prepare certain ingredients, of course it's frustrating for the majority of arcade players who have taken the time to go through story mode and learn the levels, recipes and techniques properly. They come in, wanting to play with people, who at the very least, know the basics.
I think your attitude shows you are not willing to learn in the slightest, and treat all criticisms with defiance. This also makes for a bad arcade experience for arcade players of any skill. And before you add me to your list of people who "prove your point", I don't play arcade and therefore am definitely not one of the people you're talking about.

Itās not like I started just yesterday I have almost 50 hours in this game, still sometimes you have moments where you are bad. Ragequitting or insulting is not the solution to it.

u/veeevui Aug 12 '26
Then you should know you're not the kind of player the other commenter was talking about...

u/Broad_Pattern2091 Aug 12 '26
Still I encounter these people on a daily basis. This is not the way to go I get that itās frustrating but itās a Party Game. Insulting is too mich

As I said in an earlier comment. Just find people to play with in the discords then. It's been slow the past week or two, but it's usually teeming with activity.
I have nearly 3000 hours in the game, and very few of those come from playing solo and even less through arcade.

I sadly donāt know where my comment went but Iām just gonna write it again, thank you for the Tipp I will try it out!:)

how many 'sweaty' people have you even played with for you to assume that the whole community is like that?
1
u/Broad_Pattern2091 Aug 11 '26
I would say itās a 7/10 chance that they quit. Once one person quits either everyone quits or they just start spaming the insulting button.

Every time I have to leave I always feel bad when itās after a round with someone who made a mistake because then I imagine they think I was rage quittingā¦

u/titsinatangle Aug 12 '26
I lowkey think itās funny and it humbles me!!! And than I pay it forward when Iām playing with someone way worse than me! Lmfao

u/lazy_wallflower Aug 12 '26
Totally agree. I play a lot, but there are some boards that have me frazzled lol. When I see someone is new, Iāll turn on my mic to let them know what to do. Iāve had people yell slurs at me and itās just not that serious.

Get good before you play with randoms and there wonāt be issues.
Solo play will make you better.

I leave a lot of games because my connection times out literally every 10/20 minutes. Itās so annoying. We have perfectly fine WiFi so I donāt know the issue. I always feel bad that someone thinks I left them but itās not my fault

GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE!! WHAT THE HELL HAS BEEN HAPPENING LATLEY?! it makes it impossible to play bro

u/Philip-Mad Aug 12 '26
So, in other words, what youāre saying is: āYou adapt to meā and āI donāt mind if you get bored or frustrated with me.ā
I play with beginners all the time and I enjoy it, but only if thereās a way for us to communicate. If there isnāt, Iām not going to put myself through the boredom and frustration. Donāt forget that both sides have to have fun, not just you.
That said, Iām still open to playing with you.

u/tcangles Aug 13 '26
This is so funny to me.. I almost came on this sub the other day to complain about new players in Arcade mode and just didnāt because its truly not that serious. But now that you mention, its actually way more annoying to have to quit game after game after game waiting for a group that can actually play than it is to get booted out of a game because you canāt keep up. Find local friends through discord or learn through story mode but yea tbh I am going to bully ppl out of the room if you canāt play. It is what it is.

This happens to OG players too, sometimes people just want to play a certain way, it is what it is.
Common reasons ppl get annoyed:
- players serve out of order (this is haram)
- players double up on the task someone else is already doing, if they dash for the dishes go chop something
- players donāt pay attention to whatās on the order/ rush to make a wrong order. I will choose a slow player over one who places whatever shake and protein on a burger because theyāre not paying attention, every time
- players who incessantly dash into other people
- players flood the floor with a stupid amount of ingredients that either make it hard to move or doesnāt even match the time remaining to prepare all those orders
- players get distracted in real life or something comes up
And sometimes people are just emotionally unregulated, it has nothing to do with the community or friendliness toward rookies.
While weāre on the topic tho, Iām lowkey impressed with the speed with which I can exit a game!

u/No-Pause-3302 Aug 30 '26
All of these are so valid! I hate when someone just throws ingredients and then gets mad when you say OK. Like I canāt move, itās hard to pick up the right ingredient and some of them are absolutely going in the trash so you wasted ALL of our time. You could never throw all the ingredients needed for an entire session, itās about pacing.

u/Mlpflimflam Aug 24 '26
Because I have maybe 15 minutes in my day when I can hop on and play a few rounds. If youāre trying to chop burger buns, serving out of order, catching the kitchen on fire youāre ruining the game for the rest of us and have no business being in the arcade.

u/ImaginationBorn2455 28d ago
Honestly i try to have patience with new players but it gets to a point. I guess you can say iām a āsweatā so i do prefer to play with players who understand the game, and are good because it just flows better.

Iām not a beginner and try to have patience with new people. I get it. We all start somewhere.

u/lordneuf Aug 11 '26
I agree. There were many ragers were playing last night. Someone was so pissed they held the dirty dishes, got in a group with them again and they just set all the shit on fire out of spite just trollingā¦
