I’ve noticed that some people are becoming more and more exquisite regarding guardians (not gonna even mention legion raids because we all know how tragic is the gatekeeping over there)
I do at least 10 caliligos daily and half of them i find a random that uses Song of Escape, either instantly when the fight starts, or because someone missed a single bomb, or didnt counter once, or simply because no supports in group, or even because the fight lasts longer than 2 minutes
So, question from title, How often do you find quitters in guardians, and how would you fix this situation
Sometimes. Usually it’s because of el cheapos or some dead weight 1490 alts that have no counters, no damage, no weak point attacks, no items, no grass, no friends, no beaches and no shame. But these are still rare
not on my main but when I play my supports & join a deskaluda where 2 of 3 dps doesn"t even have 3x3 eng & have rainbow stats I song of escape. Would rather have 10 min penality than waste 12+ min.
Its pretty uncommon to have someone quit in a guardian, most people just use their battle items and clear the content just fine.
I do a bunch of guardians daily (Kunga and Cali) and maybe 1 guy quit every 2 weeks-
(always on MM)
I warn the dude because he’s just sitting in base while we stagger, fully intending to continue with 3.
Guy never leaves base, then says, “u should get 4x3 bro, it’s good,” then leaves.
Other DPS DCs right after, leaving me, the support, and this 2x3 Arcana. At this point, we’ve been at it for a couple of minutes. Poor Arcana puts up the quit option and I accept. Boss’s remaining health was 97%.
I would have followed you, Arcana. Into the very heart of Mordor.
Twice. Both times were on Deska and one minute in because the team did not nett some sort of artificial expectation and could possibly take 7 minutes instead of 4 to complete.
Matchmaking is just that, a random group of people all with different standards being forced to play with one another.
Some people feel the need to inspect everyone and judge them when entering a Guardian, others simply will not accept the run might take 20 seconds longer than usual and will spend 5 minutes arguing, exiting and reloading because of that.
Always assume you’re going to see weird shit in MM.
Very rare. It’s most of the time I am who quits. Reason being I run 12 carl a day and somehow even though I make my own parties some people don’t use pheromones or destructions because they forgot which is fair. However, there are some cases when they are the ones that suppose to use it they run away or run back to spawn and act like it wasn’t them that was supposed to use said item then go and say ’ oh ’ .
Very very rarely those people say ’ ‘I’ll use next phero’ or 'next run I phero both ’ . But those are rare. The more common one is the one that forgets to use the battle item and then leaves after one try.
At this point I just song out not really bothered to kick because nobody wants to kick the guy who refuses to use a battle item even though they joined into a party finder group.
Yes but it’s far less common in PF since there was an expectation put in place at the beginning of the run when you were accepted of consumable usage. By simply being accepted, you are agreeing to the party leads set of rules for the run.
So when someone decides not to (intentionally, shit happens people get knocked at bad times and miss a phero or whatever) they should be kicked from the party, since they are not living up to the expectations set going in.
In MM no such expectation was ever set ahead of time, there is no “lead” there was not an order predefined. It’s a lawless run, and if you spend the whole run trying to force your expectations on others all you are doing is making the run take 2x as long.
because the fact is that people don’t play this game to struggle, as I have said many times, it must complete no matter what, failing anything is bad, any raid should never fail. PSO2 NGS urgent quest pug never fails, it is designed to never fail, it only consumes your time. The fact that this game has failed raids means this game is not very casual friendly and is geared towards hardcore players, unfortunately they don’t understand current gaming mentally to achieve high rank in steam charts, your game must be casual friendly.
This was a party finder so before anyone says I shouldn’t be queueing
This pally joins bare minimum gears fully utilizing support privilege, whatever we go. Then they got mega tilted over people hitting the boss during retaliation, got into a whole ass argument with one of the dps, song of escape after the first one.
We were just like, ok who cares, we ended up 3 manning faster without them
Why is it always a pally man, I’ve only ever met one that blew me away, almost every single pally I run into are either straight up no eyes no hands afk or at best, unimpactful at all.
