Expert co-op maps: Prepare to do something or prepare to be kicked

It is VERY annoying when you get into an expert co-op map only to find one player just stays at the start and does nothing. When I see that I kick them, or vote to kick them. Now these players aren't losing a connection or anything as they will kill themselves and extract (to the same point) so the map considers them to have done something and they get their rewards.

If your a EGO 2500 player (for example) and expert maps are too hard, maybe you shouldn't be doing them in the first place, instead of wasting a spot on the group and making the others have to work harder to complete it.

I would rather have players who help even if they are under 1k ego. Had a guy who was 971 who pulled his weight with 301 kills

Then why people keep inviting those kind of players to the party!?
Invite once invite no more...

Usually its a low player who asks their clan to invite them and they do nothing. From now on if that happens I will stop doing anything as well, and leave it up to the person/people who invited them.

Honestly I don't mind people staying at the entrance as much as people using bmgs messing up my vision(especially the protector ones).
Or the guided smg so I get seasick from all the shaking, or the blinding light show from the volge weapons.
At least people at the entrance don't mess you up and the maps are pretty easily soloable anyways :P.
(This complaint is for Trion as usual, I can't really blame people for using the weapons made available to them)

Yup, this part is all up to TRION, but people should use some common sense.

Those that don't skip cutscenes after the 1000th time are more annoying.

I made the mistake of playing through a co-op with someone AFK at the entrance. The problem was when you get to almost the end and then there's a checkpoint where all the players need to arrive to before the map can progress. Unless there's a way to around that when someone isn't there, in which case I would love to know what it is?

They really should fix that. If someone does absolutely nothing on a co-op map for 5 minutes or more, the game should automatically kick them off the map.

If you kick the player from the group you can proceed with the three remaining players. The 4th will still be pulled intot he next stage, but that's their problem. :)

Ah wasn't sure if that worked or not because it doesn't remove them from the map. It definitely did not work for us because the AFKer was also the group leader so could not be kicked. But thanks for the info.

You can then VOTE to kick. If your teammates agree then the player is still kicked from the group.

Even if it's the group leader? It did not seem to be working for us when I was in the group with the AFKer. Maybe someone else was Voting against kicking but I can't imagine they would have since we had to eventually abandon the map because we could not continue due to the deadweight player.

Yeah I think you may be right, you can kick everyone but the group leader, so if he's the afk guy that is really bad.

This doesn't bother me as much as cheaters who glitch through the map. That being said most of the time this happens you have someone bringing in their 2nd console. Yes this happens more then you think. People have multiple consoles and leave their lessers sitting around. Look around at major arkfalls too. I know people who do this and report them ... As well as the glitchers.

Edit: this is what the game has come to. Not only do people have to have their cores arkforge and script they have to ruin the game for others to get it.
