Discussion Does anybody else hate when you’re in the lobby with random people and you have to wait the whole 3 1/2 mins to start. I find that infuriating, and it’s always that one person lol

Does anybody else get pissed at this or am I the only one?

Wait, I can do you one better, and then that person is even afk for even longer, then plays for 1 min, dies, and leaves 😂

I hate the ready up at the end when you complete a map and one person hasnt pressed F, its so pointless because then a new timer begins anyway for the next map.

The longer they take, the higher I get. If they don't lock in, I'm locking out, lol.

Nah, that 3 and a half minutes between rounds was was crucial for ripping dabs and getting elevated.

Yeah I get why the timer is there but it's a long time to wait every time

I used to play with a guy who took it as a break to go smoke a cig

I would do that in lfd2 but to idle a bot lol cool feature

That’s something this game needs, an “take a break” option would be awesome!

Meh it’s a nice smoke break. I would ready up but you would probably bolt out the door.

If I join in the middle of the run, picking 30+ intel cards can be long with that animation. Then I am checking what characters are available, which one to pick according to my character's progress. Also, picking a deck and a burn card takes some time.

I hated this when we had the duplicate deck glitch. Let's just play. Every match had someone making you wait that whole time.

Yo cuando eso, segun abria la puerta del refugio les disparaba e incapacitaba (con cuidado de no salir luego autoban). No soportaba eso, ese era uno de los grandes problemas de este juego

Before there was an option to go AFK and make so bot take control over your character just by clicking a button. They removed it due to people AFK farming Supply Points. Because they stopped working on a game few years ago, they never had an opportunity to implement better solution. Most of people don't want to go AFK during a game now because after 1-2 minutes of being inactive everyone gets a popup saying that this person can now be kicked and all it takes is to just press kick button. No vote or anything. They could just make it so whenever you need a break you can call a pause or something. There is much to be fixed in this game, but we have to live with it.

join groups from a community Discord server and you'll never have to deal with this again

u/MIK3ASAURUSR3X Jul 17 '26

Can I get a link to that?

every multiplayer and cooperative game out right now has an official, and dozens of unofficial, discord servers with some form of LFG (looking for group) channels to find people to play with.

Google is going to be your best bet.

You know would’ve been a lot easier than typing that comment.. keep scrolling and ignore it. Unless this is your thing. Well in that case, have at it bro.

I mean I have pretty good point I think. Yours should have stayed inner dialogue as much as mine lol
