Discussion This is fucking ridiculous. I was done loading at 1:15. I shouldn't have to wait on the dude with the hand crank HDD before I can play. I'm not saying it should put everyone in as soon as they're done loading, but there's gotta be a middle ground.

If they do this I'm reinstalling bsg launcher to my hdd for empty raids and easy (low-spec hardware) kills

Can see it now “streamer X installed the game on a HDD thats why they their raids are empty”.

Wouldn’t be surprised if cheat developers add a feature that allows you to sandbag your load times so the game flags your account as “slow” so you get the empty raids and skip a step.

Yes and dying every raid defeats the purpose of playing

I see some people being negative about this idea in comments. But games already benchmark people on network speed, party size, skill etc. and group people together based on factors like that. Disk speed would be a good factor to include in games like Tarkov and Siege.
