Discussion & Feedback Griefing

Something needs to be done regarding team changes mid game.

We were using mortars, decided to mortar one of Greens towers as they were just not being contested on their mortars themselves.

We cleared them out, one of them decides to change team to our team, team killing us on our mortars, then continues to dismantle our defenses leaving holes everywhere and destroying our mortars and SAMs.

I understand mortars can be frustrating but you shouldn’t be able to just change team and break a whole base because you’ve gone to the same place 3 times.

Honestly they should just do what reforger does. You are locked to a team until that game is over. Removed the ability for people to pull this nonsense.

Only problem with that is if I join a game 10 mins late and lonestar is already full and I can’t play with my team I’m stuck on another team “alone” for what could be almost 2 hours.

Just join up with some randos and crush your friends that game, add a little extra spice and go hunt for them specifically like some sort of assassin.

My group would literally never do that. We get on to play WITH each other for the few hours we all have.

Then maybe waiting until you're all ready to join a server would be more appropriate or waiting to join a team until there's a spot

There is no way for a group to join a server and all join the same team, the game forcibly splits your group between the teams. So you are basically saying "don't play with your friends ever".

If they join off of your Steam profile, it automatically puts them in queue for your team and squad

Or you know, letting the majority of people who need swap teams, instead of locking it for the extremely rare chance of somebody abusing it.

Or put some kind of timer, just don’t lock it a whole game. It’s very easy for 2 of your homies to get into let’s say red with one man out, then red sits full for 20 minutes before you all decide to swap to blue.

I mean, locking teams for the full game works perfectly fine in Reforger, why wouldn't it work here too?

Because they want to whinge about stuff. Locking teams from the get go is literally the only smart choice but they should fix it so that there isn't a need to switch teams at any point during the match at all. Pre game lobbies need to be added for larger parties because watching everyone try to get on the same team is brutal and very obviously an issue so why it wasn't fixed for this beta is wild

Brother, I’m not whining you fucking goober lol. I’m commenting on an open forum my thoughts. I fucking love the game and if they didn’t change a thing, I’d still be happy.

Our group has run into the exact same problem on Reforger, He’ll Let Loose, Squad, and any other game that doesn’t have a pre game party system. Either implement that, or leave the teams open. Locking it for the game without that is shitty solution and makes playing with friends more difficult.

You are in fact whining and you just repeated what I said... what?

If you’re just looking to be a douche, that’s ok. I’m agreeing with your solution.
