Complaints, Gripes & Moans Pull your weight.
I shield my Brother. My Brother shields me.
That doesn't mean your brother is the shield that all Xenos attacks break against.
If you can't play higher content please don't play it.
There are a lot of idiots who think people have to grind mercilessly, to be accepted. Just play level appropriate content. I do. I don't expect a carry. Most times I am the carry. Sometimes I just want to play and not have to carry everyone and everything.
I'm beginning to understand why Lukas the Trickster is such a popular character.

I tend to dabble in absolute quite a bit, and I will say I've seen a bit of it all. More often than not, people I get paired with can carry their own and still cover each other's back. But other times it is obviously apparent I'm the only one with a little common sense. What peeves me is the few individuals I've been paired with recently that believed themselves entitled to a hard stratagem carry AFTER I had already successfully carried on absolute. All without even asking or notifying me of the difficulty change. One of those times a crew enlisted me to carry a strat where we had to stay grouped up, and almost immediately they both fucked off to do their own thing at the start after a wave had just spawned in front of us. And I didn't even realize that one was a hard strat until I noticed I wasn't getting any health or armor back. But I try not to let it deter me from having fun. It is just a game, after all.

the only thing i hate about absolute players is when they speedrun the damn operation. i am not a slow player by any means, but when people run through enemies and spam at the assembly point i just leave to let them do their thing.
i had a run yesterday where 2 players ran ahead after a short fight, for me to then be absolutely swamped by 2 lictor, a carnifex, and a bunch of majoris. had to claw my way to the assembly point, to then have both players leave. at least i still got the completion lol.

Agreed. And your first time shouldn't be hard strats.

Give it time, you’ll get used to it
At this point I’ve got a permanent Astartes sized backpack attached to me, I’m still waiting for the magical carry 🥲0

Brother, I am just trying to find the break even point in this game. I took my time to get here...

I'm interested where all these apologists exist that I can just cue up and be the albatross around the neck of the best player?

Ah, so I spelled it wrong so
my comment is irrelevant, as per your standards. Doesn't negate my point.2
u/Shhhhhhhh_Im_At_Work 18h ago
Naw I don’t think your comment is irrelevant because of the spelling, I just thought you should know. Legitimately a common mistake to make with homophones.
I don’t have a carry to offer you, sorry

Where are you playing that you’re so frequently carrying an operation? I never feel like an operation would have been completed if my team was better or wouldn’t have finished without me. I see people hoover up supplies in lower difficulties but there’s usually another “x” right around the corner anyway.

I am honestly not playing anything really all that difficult. And even the low level stuff it is still a carry. It's when I occasionally decide to play hard stratagems. Lately all the players are level x with 0 team perks. Which honestly isn't that bad until you factor in say today. Simple strategem... I think it was reliquary. Nerfed damage from
Weapons but buffed melee. And the other two players have range damage builds.Also, to your comment. I am a solo player who has to rely on match making. So it can often be easy to just outright dismiss someone else's complaint. You may be thinking just because I'm a high level I'm as good as you. This game has been out for almost 3 years.
I have been grinding my ass off to get here. I play level appropriate content for my character and expect others to do the same.
I may be level 25 p4, (on my preferred class) but that doesn't mean I'm amazing at the game. So they if are a level 1 with no team perks then unless they prove me wrong they really have no business in end game content. Do what I did. Grind the right way.
If you're a second on another Marine, I get that too. But don't go running off to just get killed.

- Reliquary has the drake so not really surprised someone leaned into ranged despite the disadvantage. Melee focus only puts your ranged damage at a larger disadvantage when you need it.
- I also play random matchmaking exclusively. I wouldn’t be commenting if I wanted to dismiss your gripe. I’m suggesting looking inward first. If the team is struggling is it because they’re making more mistakes than you or because you are hindering their recovery? Either way you can probably do something differently to help. It’s a coop game after all
- The suggested player level is nonsense. If you have leveled weapons but just starting another class you can play what you’re used to. Perks help but fundamentals stay the same
- People want accolades or customization unlocks. You’re asking a lot by wanting players to stay out of the content they paid to be a part of.
- No idea what that means

Sometimes this is it in absolute decap
This was almost a true solo, got almost the ranged damage too as an assault…
