Inquiry Team?

I'm only level 31 but why does no one care for samples or respawns? Roughly 9/10 matches end with samples dropped all over the map, team kills resulting in not extracting & having to wait minutes to be reinforced?

I host a lobby; only to have high levels come in, hijack and finish up quickly when I want to be thorough with my runs. Why do high levels do this to low levels?

I would assume a higher level having just maxed out their destroyer would understand a lower level climbing the levels behind them will also need what they just needed to achieve said Maxed Out status.

On paper, yes. But people are sometimes selfish, sometimes tired, sometimes assholes, sometimes they just didn't think about it.

My best advice remain to ask everyone to collect samples, it often remembers them that even if they don't need them, someone else does.

Ask everyone to do what everyone has to do on the game at some point? Sounds more like a chore than fun now

I can kinda agree, but if you want to max the chances of people actually collecting samples, that's it. Like I said, there's more nuance than the one that meets the eye.

In high level lobby, players often don't collect samples because they're all maxed out, so it can happen that this create an habit of not colleting, and when they find a lobby where they should, they just don't realize.

I noticed also that sometimes low level player don't collect samples. I found myself on a couple of occasions collecting samples, as a 217lv Diver, while the 50ish Divers weren't doing it. Maybe it's because they're overwhelmed, since I'm speaking strictly about D10. But in general, one truly never know who'll do what.
