Players killing lobbies

#1

So I’m getting very very very sick of PS players that are unable to use the ready button.
(I’m sure there is possibly the same thing with PC players, maybe).

What I really mean is that they will not hit ready when they see a PC player in the game.
Their game has obviously not crashed as the ping updates constantly.
If you don’t want to play against PC players just turn crossplay off ffs and stop wasting everybody’s time.

Deliberately creating dead lobbies. I’m in the middle of recording it as I type this so the video after processing will obviously show me typing this lol.

I give people the benefit of the doubt that they don’t realize they have to ready up still. I usually toggle the ready a few times to try and remind them. Even PS4 FT players space out in matchmaking or go AFK waiting to load into the lobby.

#3

Well me (pc pred), and two FT (one PC one PS), were all tapping ready to bring it to their attention.
Two of us even got on comms and asked them to ready up.
The two pricks just sat there and waited for ppl to leave the match, the whole time their pings were updating every 2 seconds.

This is unfortunately not a new occurrence, it is however becoming increasingly common.

and lets be honest queuing as FT, even on PC, has a wait time of maybe 2mins if you are extremely unlucky.

#5

True…but kids now a days have an attention span of 60 seconds…at least from what I’ve seen. Adults too though to be fair.

#6

as a ps4 player i would like to say that i don’t care if the pred (or any player is on pc) sometimes it takes a second to load in even tho it shows them as in on your screen, if there is a full lobby readying up doesn’t matter it will load automatically.

#7

5 minutes with out ready?

#8

They may have not fully loaded up yet I noticed in most cases even if I don’t hit ready it’ll start up when the lobby is full. Only time it doesn’t is when it’s just one person and the Predator then it’ll give a 120 second timer.

it shouldn’t take that long at all… that means you don’t have a full fireteam squad and they don’t want to start until they do

#10

That could be an issue with the system or connection of the player rather than the players decision.

exactly thank you lol

#12

No problem, yeah seems OP is running into a bug or something maybe because that hasn’t happened for me ever and I’ve been playing since release.

#13

sorry 11 mins and 22 seconds until I finally left the lobby.
And you can not blame connection if they are pinging at 44ms and it’s updating constantly.
The lobby started as completely full. And at the point I started the recording we had been waiting just over 3 minutes for these two players to ready up.

It definitely seems like a bug. I’m guessing this was quickplay and not private.

#15

private is far more buggy than quickly play, has been since 1.09

If either player had left then they would be removed from the lobby and their ping would not be regularly be being updated.

#16

Are you sure it’s not just them loading in?
It takes a minute to do so.

#17

11 minutes?

video of the situation is uploading, I started the recording approx. 3 mins after the lobby was created and completely full.

#18

Like I said, a minute. Not 11. But the game starts automatically when the lobby is full.

maybe for them the game started and they were playing without a pred, maybe you aren’t loading in and it IS a connection problem

#20

no they changed that in the last update ( to allow for people loading in late so they can choose a loadout).

Ready is a requirement now.
