Got team killed in revenge twice in 2 different games in less than 10 mins. Sure, I effed up and shot a diver. It happens we all shoot and get shot. It's a flaming shotgun it's not easy to control and they were behind a bug.
You reinforce, apologize and move on for the mission. You do not revenge kill your fellow diver the moment you step out of your pod and then say it's my fault.
That's enough for me tonight.
Hilarious (inadvertent) team kills are where most of the fun from this game come from.
The new stratagem "learning curve" is steeped with the bodies of our teammates!
I switched my stim pistol for the grenade pistol, and I went to stim a teammate when he slowed down while running to keep the pace.
Oops.
I apologized profusely and he laughed his ass off about it
I can usually laugh it off, especially accidentals. But apparently a bunch of other people couldn't, only been kicked for it like once though.
Recently had a moment where me and a random dropped on a plateau at the same moment, I walked to the edge to fire into a huge horde of bugs at the bottom, and the other guy walked right next to me and missed a melee swing at me. Then I turned and melee'd him, but he was holding a grenade so it dropped and we both blew off the plateau.
Guy just went off on voice chat how he accidentally pressed the melee and that he missed anyway lmao. Like chill bro, I thought it was just some fucking around. He continued to make annoying sarcastic comments throughout the mission, and complain about everything I did. Glad he dropped quiet when he realised how hard I had been carrying the entire team when he saw the score screen.
I played a ton of helldivers 2, to a point where the hardest difficulty got kinda boring. I never really care for the meta and what other people do and don't. But i got kicked a lot just because of my loadout.
Imagine being such a meta slave you have to enforce it on others
(This post was brought to you by not telling your friends you brought the fire hellpod booster)
i wouldn't teamkill, but i can understand why someone might. if it's just one revenge kill, and not repeatedly killing you, i'd just move on
I just leave when people do that. A handful of samples isn't worth playing with people like that.
If you lack the spatial awareness to stay out of the line of fire, that's one thing; I'll happily keep reinforcing your silly little Helldivin' ass. I'll even toss you down a Commando to defend yourself with on your way back to your dropped gear. But the moment you make it personal, fuck you, I'm out. Enjoy extracting all by yourself with the eighteen patrols you also kited all across the map to the evac site.
I played a game where i got killed by the same guy like 6 times. Just random stray bullets, nades, things like that. I don't care honestly, as long as we get through the mission. And in this case i got just easier when the revives ran out and the guy sat on a respawn timer. Almost at the end he ran into mi mines and kicked me.
I just leave when people do that.
Yeah. I tried again, but after the 2nd mission like that, I was done for the night.
Preach
Most of the time if that happens the "I'm Sorry" and pointing out their dropped gear is sufficient.
I dropped in to one, though, before I even hit the ground one dude accused me of being a traitor (grief player), and killed me straight off. And then a second time. I pointed this out and after again the 3rd time made sure the other 2 knew what I was doing and killed him, and then again when he respawned.
We actually finished the mission the other two sussed what was up since I didn't kill them, and kept this guy off the field untill we got back to the ship, then he got kicked.
If you're doing it on purpose, you're going to have a bad time.
I've noticed that there really can be a real difference between the occasional oopsie teamkill, and someone who is either unskilled or careless. When it's just one guy in the group doing it, and he's racked up 5-7 accidentals, there does need to come a point where responsibility is taken.
I feel this man, I even play with a guy who rushes into the front whilst the teams defending a point and gets mad that he gets hit while in the line of fire. It irritates the crap oudda me.
But at the same time, getting constantly killed by folks who "never" check their fire can be a pain, but the simplest solution is, break off or change your play style when their around
Teammate is ahead, putting down a bug squad with an mg. I spot a little hunter flanking them. I draw my revolver, aim, fire once.
I'm looking to get the verdict now, it should keep me from one-shot-ing teammates.
