This is why I host my own games, so I know I won't be kicked, and nobody else has to worry either.

[cube]

We also need "disband the party" function to refresh team or make room for friends

[digitaldonovin]

I joined a difficulty level 8 game and we spent the entire time literally hitting every sub objective on the map. We collected tons of samples, maybe around 30-40. The 2 other randoms and I were kicked as the shuttle was landing. The host kicked us at the end of a near perfect match. That pissed me off. I host my own games, or join only friends now.

[SomeThing_OutSide]

They could do it like Deep Rock Galactic where you can no longer be kicked oncd you finish the main objective.

[XJA]

The really dick move is when someone shoots you after you've gotten into the dropship so you alone don't extract and then they kick you. There should be a punishment that kind of behavior in particular I think.

[Razor_Regiment]

Bro I got kicked like an hour ago, I’m lvl 50 completely topped off on medals and materials.So I try and help low lvl players out.Misson was launch icbm, they kept on fighting patrols so I did all the objectives alone, even found the rare materials..then got kicked by the host right before boarding the pelican.Toxic behavior for sure..that needs to stop.

[BC-vvot]

My suggestion as a solution is to monitor the people who kick repetitively. Put them in different lobbies with people who kick. Set the condition as an average kick over a period of time. If it's above a certain percentage, then they go into the kickers group. If they stop, they will be let back into the overall pool. If they persist, they stay in the group. It will at least reduce the frequency of trolling. I also think a lot of people just genuinely don't know that samples, medals, credits, and super credits are shared. I had a level 17 ask me that. CEO needs to put out a statement to explain how all that works.

[MaximusProxi]

Getting kicked after a 40 minute game, right before extract and not getting any rewards for it is the biggest bullshit ever...

Here are my points on how to solve this:

1. Give kicked people all samples, medals, credits and slips you have found so far

2. You cannot kick people the moment extraction phase has started

3. You cannot invite friends to your game the moment extraction phase has started (some people use this to quickly kick a random player and invite a friend to get all the rewards of the mission instead)

4. As the kicked person make it so you are never queued up with this host again (blacklist)

5. Flag people that tend to kick a lot with a small symbol (like a skull that gets increasingly more "red" the more they do it.

[shadowkhan]

One good suggestion I've seen is to add "kicked by whom" data to recent players menu . Then you can see who kicked you and block the f**ker

[Zyanide]

Sometimes it says that someone killed you, when in reality they didnt. Also end screen might often show 0 in team damage, even though youve seen a person kill you several times. Those bugs might get the host to kick someone, if the text says a person killed him, maybe even several times, when they didnt.

[starsixseven]

The more often you kick people, the less frequently your SOS beacon/matchmaking will be answered.

[ianb]

there is a bug going around where u get “kicked” from a mission. has happened to my friend while i was hosting

[lordkhar]

Suicide diffuculty mission, everyone loads into hellpods. They're all under level 20, and im level 22. Host disengages hellpods and starts screwing around looking at other planets.

No big deal, I just walk back to look at strategems and suddenly the host gets off the mission terminal, stares at me, and then kicks me for having the audacity to go do something else while they waste everyones time.

[Alenthas]

the game is too popular and popularity chasers are toxic bunch. once it loses its popularity it's gonna be fine

[tehfelf]

I think there needs to be a better designation of "kicked" vs "disconnected".

I've dropped from the game twice as we were running to extraction. The pelican hadnt been called yet. Both times I was booted back to my own ship, played the unfreeze animation and everything but there was no yellow "you've been kicked" notification.

Im wondering if either the game doesnt always notify you if you're kicked or there is something happening with game stability for people near extraction?

[Aurummorituri]

They should add a second layer to the kick menu. You can’t just kick. You have to select a reason from a pulldown menu as to why. If someone is being careless and TK’s multiple times you can use that option. If someone is AFK or kiting enemies into the red of the team you can select that. If you’re a toxic elitist kicking for load out or level reasons you are basically flagging yourself.

[ThisIsAHandleOrSomething]

Yep, was playing with a friend earlier and we QP’d into a match. Got to extraction and the hosts friend was constantly blowing me up with a grenade launcher then proceeded to kick me when I asked he dude to stop. Friend didn’t get kicked so he killed them both, lost all their samples and got revenge for me.

I've experienced this. One time I'm certain it was because I joined a match that was almost over (even tho on the map it said they were 6 mins in) and they prob just didn't want me to benefit at the last min. Still lame. Another time it's because I dropped into complete chaos and immediately died. Then they respawned me directly into the middle of chaos and I died again, so I was never able to get any strats called down. Kicked. I kinda get it, but if they'd called me farther out so I could actually live more than 30 secs, I would've been able to contribute. Their poor decision got me killed that time, not me.

[NIcolasbobbitt]

Had a game where we loaded onto the map. Jokingly said “nothing like a fresh cup of liberty in the morning” as we got out of pods.
5 seconds later I was kicked.

[frostburn]

I think there are two things they can do to help improve the experience, make it a vote and not host only option and make it more clear there is a way to keep randoms from joining your game, some people kick for a friend or they don't want others in their game but don't realize you can go toggle the privacy to "Friends Only". You have to make those sorts of options front and center for people.
