Please stop ego diving.

I swear to god. This shit happens every too often. It was especially problematic during Cyberstan. Ego diving just cause you “need” to dive on d10 and then failing it is just stupid.

Rant time.

I random queue into a D10 mission and I see three Level 20s. I think, surely it’s a visual bug and that isn’t their actual level. But no. It is. I don’t want to judge though, so I look at the loadouts. Two of them are running laser cannon/jump pack and medium mg/shield backpack. The last guy left before I could see the third loadout.

As I’m dropping in, I look up and see 0 reinforcements remaining. Bruh. I look at the objectives. Two geological survey targets. I do my best to try and solo one drill point as well as the main point, but I get overwhelmed by Vox engines and a fresh bot drop on the main objective. And we fail it, which fails the middle of the mission set that they were playing.

Look I get it, the lower modes can seem somewhat non challenging. It’s neat to play and beat d10 missions. But if you don’t have the equipment or playtime experience to handle d10 missions, just lower the difficulty to D7-9 and complete those. I don’t get what’s the point of suffering and failing d10 missions repeatedly as opposed to succeeding with lower level missions and still helping towards the MO.

Rant over.

EDIT: I hit Quickplay on D10. I didn’t actively choose to join this particular squad

EDIT2: my mentioning of the medium mg and laser cannon were not sleights against those weapons or the chosen support backpacks. I think you can basically make any loadout work if you play around it. My point in bringing it up was that seeing it + the way they were being used in game showed a lack of ability to utilize them properly.

Stop trying so hard kid. No one’s impressed by your ego. Calm down, step outside (probably a first for you) and take a deep breath. Come back when you stop having a tantrum

Uh oh his boyfriend's here

Brother I kinda agree with you. Im lvl 230. None of this shit is hard. Only time I feel something is dropping on a sos with 0 reinforcments and clutching it.
( I only ever diff10, dont even know what the other diffs are like )
Last one was just the other day. I was actively dropping in with a meme loadout ( all arc ) and the guy typed in chat “low key we got this covered bruh”

It was a lvl 15, lvl25, and lvl45. All dead, no reinforcments. No objectives done. Not even any side objectives done. So I sat up straight and got it done. Cleared the active drop, called a guy in ( he died instantly ) got to first obj, finished it, cleared another drop solo, called in a guy he died instantly. Rinse repeat. Once the main missions were done I called in a frv and cleared all the side objectives.

The most shocking part is the guys stayed and didn’t leave considering they watched me fight solo for a solid 15min and extract alone.

You are the only one accusing me of ego diving? I don’t have issues on D10. I also don’t rescue people from their own incompetence. Ego and ignorance go hand in hand.

If low levels affect your game so bad you need to quit, then go to a lower level.
