It pains that I'm gonna have to take leadership roles. I'm not a gamer. I play a game once in a while, over the years, with a buddy. Four uncoordinated players can result in wasted time by every measure. I've seen a handful of groups fail Fervor because everyone thinks they can ignore a BA Wardog and the thing starts pulling people with its frustrating barriered hit and run routine. Ignoring some enemies might result in a player being killed. For example, a trooper with its dual corrosion can take someone out in a couple seconds if unnoticed. So people key on those. But they're not a real danger. Who cares if someone's gotta run back to the fight from a few seconds away. That's not really risking catastrophe. But the wardog finally pisses someone off and away they go after it. Maybe a second player accompanies, or a second wardog does it. Now the group is in two. Then... everyone is running back to the battle and it's a fail.
Someone's gotta highlight targets for the group. I'm noob. Ps4 noob and game noob. I just read a lot. But I gotta be in charge. 90% of the time, no one is, and that's often a fail. Literally "mission failed"/"you suck". I didn't buy a game to be told I suck, so I gotta boss people? This ps4 is starting to seem like a deal with the devil.
You have just encapsulated ever PUG experience in every game ever. :lol:
I have been an avid gamer since the Atari 2600 in the late 1970s, and have experienced it all in those 40+ years, and at my age I avoid team play like the plague unless I am real life friends with my teammates simply because you invariable play with a lot of immature children (of all ages) who have an irrepressible urge to blame everyone around them for team failures... and I'm too old to have a 12 year old bitching at me on chat. :2razz:
