That’s a shame. The guys involved in the harassment legit deserve to have the shit kicked out if them in real life. Unfortunately there’s a lot of poorly parented players out there...and that includes many adults.

I think I had a friend have this happen to him. I thought they were just douchebags. Can you only have nine at a time in Mars it something? Why do they care of you're there?

Bungie needs to stop pretending everyone is friendly and ready to team up. Escalation Protocol is based on this principle, but the reality is far from it. I either see people just randomly setting it off then repeatedly dying, or groups invading the space, trying to clear others out. This was obviously not the intention but thats how these things work.

Only problems I've had is the game itself dead enemies floating, audio always cutting out, frames dropping badly and getting kicked from the lobby and put in a new lobby

That why protocol sucks 😔

[quote]I just had the most toxic experience of my life, whilst trying to do escalation. I don't have many friends online at the same time and over the last two weeks have grinded my ass up to light 360 on all 3 characters and just spent about an hour or so waiting for a full 9 people to pop up so I could attempt escalation. Alas people showed up and we were at 7 when I invited another friend. Then I started getting messages asking me to leave, then tried tricking me into joining there fireteam so they could kick me. Beat the crap out of my guardian you know. The norm for toxic players. They said light 360 was to low and I would die to much, but id attempted it when there were only four of us and hadn't died once I had a higher survivability than all of them and with darci out I was doing decent damage. Honestly its put me on edge. Like I said my friends have all sorts of weird time jobs so I can't do I raid, well I can but due to my own personal issues I would much rather only talk with people I know, so you know escalation would have been perfect, no communication needed just straight forward grinding. I know this doesn't happen very often but its disheartening to know that it even happens at all. Any body else have any bad experiences similar? How do you deal with it?[/quote] I mean honestly you were being the dick, out of ignorance it seems but still being a dick. 1) It can be really hard to set up the 9 man Escalations- I set up 2 and it took like an hour each tome before we were all together. You are just waiting to mooch off someone else’s effort of getting a group and syncing a lobby together. You’re trying to steal two slots from the people who put the whole thing together. 2) They weren’t wrong 360 light is basically bottom of the barrel in terms of light even worth attempting it at. Sure you can easily hit wave 7 but the enemies I think are at 400. You barely do any damage and die really easily. It’s not a skill thing, it’s a game mechanic, you just aren’t high enough light. 3) You won’t join their party and communication is key for the activity. That with your 360 light, there is no chance it will ever get done. I’m sure they were rude and obnoxious but you have to realize your attempt at participating was mooching, stealing other people’s spots, and by being a low light and refusing to communicate ensuring no one on that server finishes it.

I've seen folks just start it and run off. Leaving ads ALL over.

This game sucks, go play something else.

Be nice and if you see 2 fireteams of 3 and one asks you to leave so they can get 3 more friends in just do it. I don't agree with being a asshat about it but if they ask nicely you really should just leave the area and come back.
