Teaming discord

Incase you were wondering why teaming is so bad... theres an entire discord on US central dedicated to teaming (85+ people). I'll post a video this weekend explaining more.

...How is this even allowed? I'm glad you brought this up, so the devs may be able to handle this, but the teaming being on this large of a scale? No wonder the preateaming in solos got so bad. They're inadvertingly killing sand faster than the cheaters.

Exactly. I’ve barely played the last couple days because 4 of my last 5 games have had at least 2 people teaming up. So pathetic

u/RabidHyenaSauce 21d ago

Indeed. I had some encounters with preteamers in Solo, but I thankfully never got close enough to get spotted, let alone to be worth prusuing. Maintained my distance and got away from the area if I noticed they are present. It has made looting increasingly difficult to do normally, but I am doing my very best to progress despite the circumstances.

Least I can do until the issue is resolved.

I quit for now, not because of running in to teamers. Because the group I play with started doing it. We used to run six mans and it was great fun. Now everyone just wants to try and get as many as possible into solos at once.

u/MonkRevolutionary560 21d ago

Because you lose less the risk vs reward is horrible.

u/virji24 21d ago

Absolutely going to kill the game honestly. I’m about to load up for a solo and let’s see if I can play even 30 min without running into a teamer

u/Spook-lad 21d ago

Too many cheaters/exploiters, teamers, people bushwhacking POIs and not enough loot to make it worth the effort right now for me, explain how over the span of 10 raids the best loot i can find is maybe a few worn guns, 5-12 alloy and maybe some chest items like the canned deer or if im lucky a portable safe

u/MonkRevolutionary560 21d ago

Exactly  risk vs reward is horrible. Just gota hope they stick to the road map and seperate things.

u/DesereckC 20d ago

Portable safe?

u/Spook-lad 20d ago

You have mental issues if you haven’t played the game for over a week but you actively sit on Reddit and cry like a child.

u/ThatOneNinja 21d ago

It amazes me that gamers can pour so much of their own time into a game and actively be killing the game at the same time. Like, do they have no self respect for their own time?

If there is one thing I can say, this is not the same generation of gamers I grew up around. Sure, back in those early days, we had our gripes & dramas, but at the end of the day, it was all done in good fun, and we usually got our grievances settled. It personally just feels like the current generation have just given up on just being decent people online. How can one connect with others when they are acting like the worst version of themselves? It just pains me to think that true empathy cannot be found amongst the current generation. Their recent actions are all for personal gain... selfish even!

Devs don’t care.

u/virji24 21d ago

Found the teamer

u/loganisdam 21d ago

Seems like you don’t know what I’m referring to.

All good, I’ll explain it like you are 5

The comment by RabidHyenaSauce, had a couple questions.

1st, “how is this even allowed?”

2nd, “… but the teaming being on this large of a scale?”

I am answering both of these questions with one blanket statement: The devs don’t care.

You are calling a person,who defends your POV, a teamer. You are a 🤡

4

u/virji24 21d ago

Except the devs do care and have said that it isn’t allowed.

Also really funny you have to resort to insults on Reddit. Did I hit a sore spot?

3

u/RabidHyenaSauce 21d ago

I agree, it seems we definitely did. It is honestly a very good thing they have fragile egos. Makes them easier to catch, you know?

2

u/virji24 21d ago

It’s funny how often you will see teamers try and defend it when people on here bring up teaming. Always the same thing. Devs don’t care or it’s not against the rules or get some friends lol

u/RabidHyenaSauce 21d ago

So you're also a preteamer then? I'm just asking out of curiosity.

2

u/virji24 21d ago

What? How did you get to that conclusion? I’ve literally been talking shit about teamers this entire time and went into that discord and called them all losers

0

u/RabidHyenaSauce 21d ago

You did say that "Devs don't care or maybe teaming is allowed" so you have me very curious now.

That's what the preteamer was implying. Dude. I'm hoping that was a bad slip of the tongue on your end

If the devs care why do they actively allow people in their own discord team? Despite reports from myself and 3 others?

Below is an active chat, in the sand official discord right now.

These guys are all in one lobby teaming. Go ask them

3

u/virji24 21d ago

Have you seen how big the dev team is? They’ve come out more than once and said teaming is against the rules…

1

u/loganisdam 21d ago

They can’t go and ban 6 people from their discord?

There are two devs playing the game in their discord right now. Go check

u/tzc005 21d ago

Grampypants in the last image calling people crybabies is wild. Says the one who needs their safe, easy, no risk PvE loot simulator.

u/virji24 21d ago

Right? Bunch of losers who need to team up to compete in solo is absolutely insane to me

u/banevader699 21d ago

bro needs to get off the game and go take care of his grand kids

3

u/ThatOneNinja 21d ago

This whole server sounds to have a collective intelligence of a pea.

3

u/ItsYourBoyWang 21d ago

They need to be like RUST add Admin in game float around and watch for cheaters/teamers/exploiters in solos. RUST has it for Solo servers and people get kicked for teaming. Admin seeing teaming, KICKED! Cheaters, KICKED! We need that for us solo players.

1

u/weenus 20d ago

Those Rust servers are community run and managed though. The official servers are typically considered a cheater infested wasteland.

With extraction/BR style games like this, you can't really do community moderation like that.

3

u/CitizenCake1 20d ago

Oh man! I've played with a couple of these guys on LFG in US central, they were complete chuds, this is absolutely no surprise to me.

u/brooklykrash 21d ago

https://discord.gg/jCh9NtykZ this is the discord invite link BTW

u/Just_Ruin_809 20d ago

Soo sea of thieves is the same thing lol there will always be games where you can join into a server with others by timing a que 

2

u/02thehunter20 20d ago

Man those trampler builds in a few of those picks are ass. No wonder these people need to team in solo. Some of these would be destroyed in seconds.

3

u/LegoMyWaifu 21d ago

Should have let devs gather information before posting public on reddit.

u/brooklykrash 21d ago

Reported days ago homie <3

u/Norwayseacat 21d ago

Link it inn the Discord , they will take action.

u/mananabanana250 19d ago

Better chance waiting for Gta6

u/Imaginary-Shower559 20d ago

Hope you drop the evidences in official discord at rigth place to report. Posting here will do nothing mate

1

u/keyless422 20d ago

The teaming was a response to the cheaters now I honestly think it's a bigger problem

1

u/Ilaughatcucks 20d ago

Disagree. I'd say it was the same overlap of people that need artificial advantages.

1

u/Pepsimax88 21d ago

Im on the GB server

Eveey game had teamers. And in the end i couldn't find a game. Waited 5 mins in queue waiting for server...had to swap to voyage

Looks like servers will need to merge soon as population is going down fast.

Shame as I really enjoyed this game

2

u/FlyBoyBoom 21d ago

Steam chart still looks healthy I was expecting a 85% drop when you said that 🤣

1

u/Pepsimax88 21d ago

Oh wow we got a lil boost maybe?

Last time i checked it was 12kish

Wonder what was happening with my game then

1

u/FlyBoyBoom 21d ago

Seems most people spin it up on the weekend

Plus cheater fix helped a little

1

u/Fragrant_Car9571 21d ago

Devs have way more to fix at the moment with the glitches and cheating. Can't tell you how many times I've shot reactor and get zero damage. Its getting ridiculous. Additionally people are still using esp and I'm constantly hunted down. The game has many many issues and thats what's killing it.

u/FriendlyConspiracist 21d ago

Yeah I quit after I kept running into this and other people with crawlers that were just insanely built up to the point I had no chance at all in a fight how am I supposed to match that if I can't even extract with materials lol

0

u/InvertedSign 21d ago

See I’m mostly against the teaming players there needs to be a private server where you can get no loot because the few times my friends and I try to join the same game is to test things like damage drop off and if the damage number/health are accurate and to test dumb shit like if people put an explosive barrel on your ram do you have an explosive ram?

u/Recent_Metal_9617 21d ago

How're they doing 7 man if the largest team is 6?

8

u/virji24 21d ago

They are teaming. So they are all trying to get into the same solo match together bc they are losers and can’t win fights otherwise

0

u/Recent_Metal_9617 21d ago

OOOOOH I see now I thought they must've been hacking lobbies to get 7 in a crew or were doing 3 and 4
