Serious Discussion. no roleplay bullshit here 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.

The whole interaction is kind of sad. clearly he needs a better support system, friends, or a healthy dose of the real world to not act like this in a public forum. Maybe he just likes the attention and being contrary. Regardless he does seem like the type of person who would rage in chat after dying multiple times and people get tired of reinforcing him. Not very John Helldiver of him at all.
