303 standing around

    Enough already. 50% of most people in teams are just standing/floating in the same spot. If you're a group leader, please kick those people (energy bars that don't move is a hint). Why do people even join a group just to stand there. Bunch of lazy a-holes.

    Am surprised it took this long before we got this thread. ;)

    People were going crazy when that happened with the 333 mission. :eek:
    And it seems to be even worse with the 303 one. Players not defeating any enemies seems to happen more often then not this time.

    Also finding groups is more difficult too.

    With 333... I would send a tell in LFG... and within 3 seconds would get an invite.

    Now..... takes a LOT of seconds... even minutes..... before getting invited.

    Was there so much more people playing RwC as opposed to E3???

    As for the 303 mission..... there is an easy fix for the people standing around.

    You do have the option to do the mission solo. ;)

    If I made the group, I keep an eye on the bars and if they don't move, I kick them.
    If I didn't make the group, and the "leader" or other players are just standing there, I sent tells to the players actually doing something and tell them to follow me far away so the lazy ones don't get credit, at least until we find another group.

    I am letting you know, that if you ever invite me, I will work. That is thanks to my blue collar family roots.

    I saw so many doing this during the 333 in RwC too. Watch their power bar. If it doesnt move for a few mins chances are they are hiding somewhere.

    Honestly its sad imo that there are so many lazy players in the game who do this kinda stuff. This concept of playing a game and wanting to pay money to play it less or stand around and let others play it for ya is beyond bizarre. Its a game, you're supposed to play. If killing a few adds really bothers ya well maybe dcuo isnt the game for these people. Ya gotta be pretty lazy when pushing buttons is too much work.

    That's why I always make the groups. I give a few seconds for that power bar to start moving, if not then kick, easily replaceable since I do this at the start of the weekly reset;)

    the 303 goes quickly with or without a group.

    i don't mind if players want to complete their dailies while farming. i try to get it all done at the same time.

    in earth 3'scase i think the map is too big. easy to get out of range.

    i also miss the flying question marks we used to get in typhons area.

    those were fun.

    Chill out on the power bar watching guys. Some people casually kill adds with weapons.

    I understand a lot of people spam powers now and it can help as an indicator, but try to further investigate by maybe flying over to them as well.

    Also keep in mind its 2017 and people text while playing.

    Its unrealistic to assume everyone is planted right in front of the tv never moving or looking away.

    People have lives, dude. Dogs they have to get a quick bowl of water for, kids bothering them etc.

    Fly to the person on the map, observe them and then kick em if they're really not doing anything

    sometimes in group i see only adds i kill count on counter for couple mins,dont realy mind,since i join
    groups to help even if i'm done with 303
    but reading this something else cought my attention....
    i usually kill where 3 adds spawning,like bots ,or where containers are...and didnt know that distance
    from group maters,so it wont count if i'm far from grouo ? didnt know that

    I don't know why people still form groups for these. AF3 and AoJ were small enough with enough adds that groups made sense. You were close enough and the adds were plentiful enough that the mission did go quicker. With RwC and E3, the areas are so massive and the adds so spread out that half the group (if full) will likely be out of range for the kills to count.

    And yes, range is a factor you dubious doubters who think they play the game but pay no attention.

    While you're ranting about that, will you inconsiderate moronic a-holes not hit the bounty when you're the only one there?? I had owlman yesterday, messaged group to come and some idiot attacked him, died, then he despawned.

    YOU CAN'T SOLO THEM.

    True the 303 seems to be a lot easier to do solo that the 333 was based on clumps of mobs to attack. heck go back to the 410 in AoF and it was the same.. I have go0ttne alts to 410 without ever joining and actual team.

    The amusement Mile also seemed to spawn the "Let's just sit here and let everyone else get us these rewards" mentality. Was on one team where they actually found two guys sitting on a roof top doing absolutely nothing while the rest of us killed stuff.. Obviously they both got kicked...
