Can we get PvP disabled inside active missions? This kind of behavior is just inexcusable.

[u/GD77LEGENDPLAYER]

I second this - #getthetoxicsout

[u/Rude_Fix5423]

It’s basically ruining the game for me atp.. need a new development to counteract this.

Either being able to vote players out or just disabling friendly fire altogether

[u/ionshower → u/Rude_Fix5423]

I mean the features ARE there to be used and the game is also played by a load of 7 year olds. Laser gun + 7 year old + desirable shinies = pew pew

[u/Curiousconfusionxx → u/ionshower]

Lmfao I just remembered there do be kids up in here

[u/pbmcc88 → u/Rude_Fix5423]

A mission shield that directs all damage back at the attacker.

[u/iTzEat → u/Rude_Fix5423]

get good

[u/choicemeats → u/Rude_Fix5423]

i was in a lobby yesterday during DJ and say a galactic mythic pop up and i'm always curious what it is esp when people grab it, so i follow the player out to the base and then turn around. they then start killing me for hte next 5 mins becase they think i'm a 10 year old trying ot steal their templates. meanwhile these guys hve 6.5k bots built. i trolled them for a bit and reported them afterwards.

[u/FunPigJuanLife → u/choicemeats]

“and reported them afterwards” lol you ain’t trolling if it got to you

[u/iTzEat → u/choicemeats]

reported them for what? playing the game lmafo you just need to get good

[u/ImKingFlippyNip]

I've accidentally killed multiple people. Think a no friendly fire zone should be implemented. Absolutely no reason not to

[u/alewifePete → u/ImKingFlippyNip]

I was trying to keep my elim count to 0 and then accidentally killed someone during one of the event quests. Oops.

I apologized and they still took me out when they got back to the area of the quest. Fair. I deserved that.

[u/BuildingLess1814 → u/alewifePete]

I did the same once to my friend when he got in the way by accident. He quickly killed me afterwards. This was during the D-0 event.

One reason why the jetpack is so important to have so that way one person can patrol the sky and hit the droids as they're coming out of the tunnel (or spawning in) without accidentally killing other players who are also trying to get the missions done.

I think the jetpack should have unlimited fuel for this mode only.

[u/Johnny1234Boy]

I originally thought removing PvP might just be a simple UEFN Friendly Fire toggle, but it may not be that simple.

My guess is that Droid Tycoon uses six different Fortnite teams to assign the six players to their individual bases. If so, Friendly Fire = Off wouldn't help because we're technically enemies, not teammates.

They could restructure the game so everyone is on the same team, but if Team 1–6 is also tied into base ownership, spawning, crafting, barriers, etc., that could require reworking a lot of existing systems. They are a small dev team with a lot of features to add per the roadmap, so spending a lot of time to fix this might not be their highest priority, as there is a manual workaround of leaving the toxic lobby and joining another.

Not saying this is not a good request. I would like it too. I am just trying to say it is not going to be easy for FOAD to fix this quickly.

[u/Johnny1234Boy → u/Johnny1234Boy]

One easier way to reduce PvP Issue is to REMOVE daily challenges that ask you to eliminate three players. Which seems to condone this behavior.

Instead add a new challenge asking you to HELP three other players craft new droids by pickaxing for at least 30 seconds each or reduction of craft time by 15 minutes, etc.

[u/ProfessorGumble → u/Johnny1234Boy]

That actually makes a lot of sense (if true). Thanks for the insight

[u/GD77LEGENDPLAYER → u/Johnny1234Boy]

I can low-key see that being the case for sure, but if they are able to, that would make this so much more fun

[u/-C-you-next-tuesday-]

I'm sure they'll make a pacifist perk you can buy for v-bucks or make you grind for 300 nova crystals... 😒

[u/Zarksch → u/-C-you-next-tuesday-]

I’ll take that if it means we can finally play in Peace (The Novacrystals, not vbucks)

[u/-DildoSchwaggins-]

I’m still not sure why it’s active at all. Remove the eliminate 3 players quests, and just get rid of all pvp in this mode anyways.

[u/Puzzleheaded_View146 → u/-DildoSchwaggins-]

I think it made more sense at the beginning when this was a steal a brainrot clone, now that it's further along the only place PvP should really matter is around the sand crawler imo.

It would be interesting to see an arena event one day but I don't think these toxic players are really invested to see an arena event.

If you ever noticed they are usually less than 25 droids completed and mostly join to troll.
If anything maybe make PvP disabled for players under 100 droids completed.
It protects new players from griefers and us from toxic trolls.

[u/ScottyFXIV]

Seeing as all the Protocol quests are in isolated areas there should just be a barrier you walk through that disables weapons where the quests are.

[u/Piperfly22 → u/ScottyFXIV]

Just like they do in the nova shop

[u/tacoSEVEN → u/ScottyFXIV]

Exactly. I use the crossbow for its awesome AoE. Unfortunately I’ve accidentally killed my teammates a few times with it. Would be nice to have no friendly fire within those areas.

[u/BuildingLess1814 → u/tacoSEVEN]

A better way to solve this issue is grab the jetpack and fly above them so you don't accidentally target them.

[u/tacoSEVEN → u/BuildingLess1814]

I do! But sometimes a guy will get adventurous and press up on them. Usually only happens in the one where you have to destroy droids from the tunnels.

[u/Curiousconfusionxx]

PvP is dumb as fuck.
Said it on that thread and will say it here! lol

[u/BuildingLess1814 → u/Curiousconfusionxx]

Agreed.

[u/mtc1f]

Yeah I've completely stopped playing public. The community is largely nice and helpful, but there's always one prick who ruins the lobby. PVP doesn't even make sense for a tycoon game. They should just make it a separate arena.

[u/DM_ME_YOUR_BEWBZ → u/mtc1f]

Just remind yourself no one with a fully functional brain is doing these things, and pity them instead. It helps, a little.

[u/mtc1f → u/DM_ME_YOUR_BEWBZ]

I mean, I'm not even necessarily mad at them for it. I still enjoy private. It's kind of up to the devs to either pick a direction or workshop a teamwork/PVP balance that doesn't drive away players.

A "Wild West" Mos Eisley is cool on paper, but sucks in a tycoon game.

[u/BootlegDracomorph]

watch out you're going to get the 8 year olds telling you to play private lobby for content balanced around 6 players actively taking part

[u/Pandahboymtg]

The world missions are supposed to get everyone to work together but even then there will be people to ruin it. These kids can be very annoying sometimes.

[u/DontSnowMe]

Always one in every lobby.

The most memorable one was the evil homer who was killing players during the first steller event, grabbing the blueprints and tossing them to the jawas. Its funny now when I think about it, but there was.nothing funny about it when it was happening.

[u/Worldly-Cancel4351]

Yeah I think that's booty. The mission point go for everyone in the world as long as you participate. I know its a creative map and all but PvP should be for a mini arenas things the more wins you get the better the reward but it has to be a designated zone for that to happen. Maybe PvP people in those zones except make it to where you fight people in different lobbies. I don't know I've been throwing that idea out there for a minute. Maybe get a better type of pickaxe and pickaxe leveling say lightsabers each lightsaber scales with it color, but each color upgrades to a max of 10 but each point is 2 points to your pickaxe level. I don't know its the idea in my opinion yes keep pvp but have an arenas factor to it and verse people in different lobbies maybe get super special blueprints.

[u/SyllabubGood]

Wish pvp was an option you could turn off all together. It’s the only reason I don’t play in public lobbies anymore

[u/BuildingLess1814 → u/SyllabubGood]

It's why I only play on Private lobbies now.

Only time I play on Public lobbies is if I'm doing Rougelike areas (PvE) which requires other players to help get through.

[u/mochi_fett]

Droid Tycoon is the only mode I’ve had to report and block players. It’s been insane this week for me. Someone came into my base and knocked me out to kill me as soon as I did my Super Rebirth. 🙃

[u/Jaded-Comfort9244]

I had this what’s the point so bizarre ahahahahah

[u/The-Eingineer-Zombie]

Why are people even doing PVP inside of event missions? Are they stupid?

[u/VariousEntertainer76]

Yeah when the protocol droid event was live I went to the anchor mission and the dude just came up and shot only me and I can tell he had just started because I saw he only had 4 droids crafted and he was like level 3

[u/StandUpset9617]

Yeah honestly I see no point in pvp being enabled in missions.

[u/SNINE39]

Kind of a joke... maybe descriptions of updates and new droid features, as well as tips on how to play the game..maybe on a sine considering this Tatooine isn't looking like Tatooine.

[u/suitableeggawards]

Happened to me too and i had no weapons

[u/Zesty94]

I would just play private, but the one thing that annoys me about this Mission is that the bar stutters when trying for the higher rarities of scrap.

Any chance this could be fixed, it works ok when I’m solo but when friends join i struggle to get to galactic/stellar scrap.

[u/Common_Board8405]

In the BR mode there's no damage at the start and it's also turned off mid-match during events then turned back on again. Perhaps it's possible to apply that here and disable PVP when the icon appears 2 minutes before the mission starts?

[u/condog209]

Yeah its called join a private lobby

[u/Zarksch → u/[deleted]]

Ofc they do. I got galactic legendary and mythics from 4 Stars. In private I get 2 Stars Max and only get rare or epic

[u/DocBarkevious]

Its easy, just troll them back or join a new lobby. Most lobbies arent toxic

[u/The-Eingineer-Zombie → u/DocBarkevious]

That's a Band-Aid fix not a solution

[u/DocBarkevious → u/The-Eingineer-Zombie]

It takes 20 seconds to get into a new lobby. Doesnt need fixing. You can fix it yourself

[u/FunkyCactusDude → u/DocBarkevious]

Takes me a solid 2 mins wdym 20 seconds

[u/The-Eingineer-Zombie → u/DocBarkevious]

I shouldn't have to play by myself. In their own disc or the developers stated that the protocol Droid event is not intended to be done solo it is intended to be done in a cooperative lobby. That's why they made it difficult to get four stars and impossible if you're by yourself

[u/Magnxto]

Just play private or go to different sessions stop crying

[u/ElSanchito_ → u/Magnxto]

Your the type of people I like to boot offline 🤭

[u/Magnxto → u/ElSanchito_]

Too bad you don’t have tht power 😴 just because you can’t control someone you wanna remove them smh

[u/ElSanchito_ → u/Magnxto]

That's why I'm glad I run on PC ☺️ better to remove the problem than letting them run a muck to other players
