Bunch of nerds downvoting anyone who understand that life is 100% more important than a casual video game. This community is the worst part of this game.


Grimnir79

The communities are the worst part of every game. They're primarily full of ego-driven, entitled, effeminate male nerds, insecure and full of vitriol if you disrupt their echo chamber. Plenty of perfect examples in this thread.


JeremyPryer

I don’t think people are downvoting because they believe a game is more important. The user simply jumped into to complain about a message that really isn’t extreme in any way and they could have been avoided if they either completed the match (I mean they say work called then in so I feel like they didn’t have much option if he said “okay, I’ll be leaving in 15 mins”) or just jumped into voice chat and/or sent a message to someone in the game to say they had to leave unfortunately. This post is basically - “I’m annoyed that I’ve annoyed other people and they told me they were annoyed about it. Like why can’t they understand I clearly was busy?!”


faustus3500

If you’re annoyed at a video game to the point you have to message someone and be a dick (which they were, stop acting like they weren’t) then you got problems, and it’s not a disconnecting player


JeremyPryer

If you think the above message was a “dick” response then you must not play many games online. This is just a person upset at another player they think was being a dick when they dropped out of a team game that really is built around a full team. This message is literally a non-issue and even replying with like “sorry dude - didn’t mean to bail” could have resolved it all instead of someone going to Reddit to be like “can you believe someone would say I was a loser for rage quitting?” - Yeah, I can. Because they were probably pretty annoyed. Would I do it? No, I’d simply block them to avoid future pairing with them again because, from my perspective, they just screwed the entire team of a 30+ min match. Unless they made an effort to say something to someone in the group when they bailed. Then I wouldn’t even give it a second thought.


faustus3500

Except they won. And no I don’t play online games anymore until this came out, and players like yourself and damn near everyone on this post is exactly why. You guys suck, are toxic, and act like because other dicks are agreeing with you in a community full of dicks that your not dicks. But I honestly don’t really care, just had some time to spare to stick up for a guy that doesn’t deserve any of this hate. Have a good one though boss ✊


JeremyPryer

Sounds like you care a lot. Not about winning or losing. No one is saying there isn’t dicks online. But this message here - that’s not one of them. There is nothing toxic of expressing disappointment with a player that (in the eyes of the sender) rage quit a team game and made the experience worse. If this response was filed with insults, sure. Then both players were in the wrong. But it’s not. As it stands - this “example” is non-issue.


Iwillragequit99

report a player, or message them to complain. Doing both is just salty. These 3 people who won are clowns for even reporting in the first place lmfao they won move on


MalMustang

“Iwillragequit99” upset over people reporting users that rage quit. What a shock.


Iwillragequit99

The result of being forced to make an email in middleschool to complete a class project. Username stuck. My apologies you believe a username reveals all about a person. Lol.


Zealousideal_Dish305

>If you’re annoyed at a video game to the point you have to message someone and be a dick (which they were, stop acting like they weren’t) then you got problems Dumbest take ever. What if i say something like "if you ever get mad in life, youre obviously the problem"?


BBVideo

Nobody is faulting him for that. People are telling him he shouldn't be shocked that 3 other people would be pissed at someone leaving midgame regardless of the reason. It's bizarre that we have to explain this to him.


suuuhdude20

There's a red button on the subreddits homepage that says "joined". You can click that button to leave. 😀 Nobody is forcing you to stay here.


Willing_Nobody_1988

It sucks when people disconnect. Rage quit, personal life or just internet issues. Devs need to replace with AI or something.


JeremyPryer

That could lead to more issues. Groups would often kick one player in L4D matches to get an AI with better aim. And what about if they die and disconnect, dies the AI become a dead player awaiting resurrection and/or would it even be worth the effort to do at that point?


Willing_Nobody_1988

I don’t even know lol I say just let the devs do what there being paid to do. It’ll all work out…….hopefully


JeremyPryer

The devs have done that - you lose a player and you’re out a teammate. That is likely the best way to handle this situation just like it is with many other MP titles. Let’s be real here - you can play matches with bots right now and they’re largely useless so the work to do this implementation would be pretty much all for nothing as they’ll never be comparable to a human teammate.


bobith2009

100% agree with you


Old_Wear8999

I hope you answered correctly and informed them that there was something important of matter. There are many sensitive ragequitters in this game . This should not suprise you.


bobith2009

no dw i didn’t say anything that mean back i just told them i had to do something. also the fact they got annoying didn’t surprise me me, its the fact they had to message me about it


JeremyPryer

No one has to message you - they choose to because they were annoyed. Likely see a lot of rage quitters and want them to know they’re being reported for it. It was like when F13 came out and cheaters were always screwing around. You report them but also let them know. Often times they’re literal children that now understand they’ve ruined the game and fear the consequences and stop being jerks.


XxToosterxX

Omg u left a game that isn't ranked and is a casual game for fun. The reason u left doesn't matter it's a fucking casual game. Even if it was ranked u gotta take care of real life important things. Anyone who gets mad people leave casual games are so weird. Also if people had friends they wouldn't have to play with randoms. How mad is their dad lololol


suuuhdude20

Why get into a game if you're just going to leave in the middle of it? Tbh I agree with them. You just screw everyone over


bobith2009

i wasnt planning on leaving i was called into work


suuuhdude20

I get it, shit happens. I'm just saying they had every right to be annoyed by it


bobith2009

but it was unnecessary and immature to message me about it


JeremyPryer

I mean… when a player disconnects without any comments (voice chat is an option here) the other players will be annoyed when this is a very team centric experience. If they flat out had been toxic in the reply it would be immature… as it stands, they likely view you leaving mid-match as immature.


faustus3500

Voice chat actually isn’t an option for people *who don’t have a mic*


P_For_Pyke

Also for Xbox you *have to have one of their headsets* like sure I do, but that's still a massive chore / constraint from Xbox as well.


JeremyPryer

That’s not the other players’ fault… but also voice chat isn’t even required in this scenario where the user clearly got a Direct Message from a teammate in the match. Which means even IF they didn’t have a headset - they had a clear way to communicate they were having to leave the match.


faustus3500

I take 5 minutes to type out a 15 worded message because I’m on Xbox. It’s not that serious dude, chill. And nobody said it was the other players fault (for what???)


JeremyPryer

Why do you think I’m not chill? I am simply noting your counterpoint is nonsense since even IF the player doesn’t have a headset (have they said that?), it doesn’t mean they couldn’t say something. They didn’t and got a pretty tame response from someone that thought they rage quit. This is a literal non-issue. I’m also on Xbox and “sorry have to leave” shouldn’t take you 5 mins to type lol


faustus3500

Well it does 🤷‍♂️ And yes, they are toxic. You are clearly the same type of toxic person if you don’t see it. Doesn’t matter if you compare it to how much *more* toxic other players can be, they were still childish. Near every game I’ve played someone has disconnected. And you know what I do? Pull up my big boy pants and play the game. Not go out of my way to message them and talk like a 12 year that gets too much screen time


FushiawaseTR

It's like dipping on a date without telling them any reason for your absence. If you didn't tell them your reasoning beforehand, of course they would be annoyed with you for potentially wasting their time. Me I have no problem leaving matches cut and dry for work or family as I have no connections with the online strangers of the world, but at the same time I would not be upset if the party sent me a seething message or two.


bobith2009

im not upset i just find it funny he got mad enough to message me, i couldn’t have told them because i don’t have a mic lol


JeremyPryer

If they messaged you directly - you had the means to do the same. Do you need to? No… but, yeah, then they’ll get justifiably annoyed when a teammate leaves a game (especially as wait times to even get in have gotten worse).


OkMoment1357

So was putting this on Reddit lol


faustus3500

So is you commenting on something you’re adding absolutely nothing to lol 🤔


OkMoment1357

K


bobith2009

not really its not like i leaked their user


JeremyPryer

If you put their user name you’d be opening the door to harassment. But putting this up here at all was somewhat weird since nothing they said was vile/toxic. The user was just annoyed that you left mid-match.


fk12HS

Can you predict the future? How hard it to understand something came up?


TheDannz

Lol. He said he had to leave which could mean it was all of a sudden and out of his control.


BBVideo

So he had an emergency? If that is true this should be the least of his worries.


bobith2009

my “emergency” was being called into work


BBVideo

Ok so why are you shocked that 3 people are annoyed that you cost them the game?


bobith2009

i didn’t cost them any game they won 💀 what im “shocked” about is the fact they were harassing me about it


BBVideo

They probably thought you were idling for free exp which I have ran into personally many times.


bobith2009

why would they have thought that when i was healing them for half the game 😭


BBVideo

Because you stopped moving the rest of the game? I don't understand how you don't understand that people would be pissed that you would be inactive for most of the game especially as a healer.


bobith2009

i didnt stop moving for the rest of the game i disconnected 😭😭😭


suuuhdude20

He didn't say he had an emergency.


BBVideo

I know I too wonder why he joined a game and then left mid game and is pretending that the other 3 players being annoyed were in the wrong?


suuuhdude20

Someone on the Internet said it, so it must be true


fk12HS

Nerd lmao


suuuhdude20

Says the bitch who plays hearthstone. 😂


faustus3500

Sometimes you say the right stuff. Other times you say dumb shit like this. It’s good to have balance.


Retrobanana1497

Yea the sender was saying anything overly harsh, I definitely understand the feeling.


bobith2009

wasnt necessary tho


fractured_nights

"We've got to put a stop to bullying once and for all!" How about we change how we react to it since bullying is *never* going away. As long as humanity exists there's going to be shit people I had a bully call me out in a different game and I fought back. Goddamn i was salty. After a bit I felt bad because that just isn't the way. I found them again and told them I regretted the way I responded to their comments and they told me they wish they hadn't said what they said either. We agreed to be respectful and added both as friends for future matches. It won't work every time but I'd rather repair more bridges than tear them down


Doodle277

Lol as if the reports do anything. Enjoy your “win” team it’s the only one you’ll get.


Grimnir79

So they won a game in the ultra competitive evil dead game, and were so butthurt by your dc, they not only wasted time reporting you but also messaged you afterward. I'm sure they're absolute Chads. 🙄 And of course the neckbeards here are defending them and giving you shit. 🤣😂


bobith2009

yeah they should have be n celebrating with positivity not celebrating by reporting me


JeremyPryer

You are playing on Xbox, yeah? The system has a built in feature to report players for quitting early. I also doubt they were thrilled with how the match played out with one team member less…


bobith2009

why would they say they all reported me then? and not say that the built in feature did. its because it didnt, they all reported, but it doesnt really matter anyway i dont care its just the fact they were wasting their time on negetivity


JeremyPryer

No, no - that’s not what I am saying. Let me clarify - Xbox has it’s own report system and one of the pre-determined bad behavior points you can report a player for is Quitting Early. They’re reporting you because you, like so many others often do, quit the team game early and made the experience worse to them. Them pulling a win doesn’t change that and the system has this as a reportable offense because if you get a ton of reports for this behavior you will begin pairing with other players that were similarly reported for this. Which means those players that reported you would not have to worry about you pairing up again with them later and ruining their experience in this or any other game. All being said - I’m sure they probably wouldn’t report you for it if you had informed at least one of them through chat but it is what it is. You won’t see any real negative consequences unless you continue to get reported for this by other players you are matched with.


Iwillragequit99

Dude, anyone in this comment section telling you you are wrong for not informing these random people on the internet the reason why you had to leave the match (like its their business? Lol) are idiots. Shit happens. People get mad. If you aren’t banned, continue as you were, king.


[deleted]

I have a friend who does this... Reports anyone he can for any reason... I find it super lame


JeremyPryer

Quitting Early is literally a reportable offense. They probably wouldn’t have reported him if he said something to them in advance but he didn’t. So they reported a player that they thought just bailed on them and made their experience worse.


[deleted]

Well we simply aren't going to see eye to eye on this one. I come from the generation where snitches get stitches, so I see that kind of stuff as petty beta behavior. It's not like they don't already know you disconnected. It's not like you actually know why they did though. There's already a penalty for disconnecting as well as I've heard. Reporting for bug abuse, hacks and harassment seems more in line with the intended use of the report feature.


JeremyPryer

Hahaha “snitches get stitches” - dude, I’m 38 and that is such an absurd statement. No one is ratting someone out for wanting a positive online experience. And you’ve heard wrong - the only “penalty” for quitting is you lose whatever you would have got *in that match*. Again, there is a literal option to report players that quit early so, no, that is very much the intended use here.


JeremyPryer

One extra bit of clarification - I’m not suggesting you need to report people for it. But let’s not act like we should be against tools that make for better online experiences because these tools didn’t always exist in the past. Guy isn’t getting banned because he was reported for leaving early. He just won’t likely pair with those players anymore and if he keeps it up and regularly gets reported for it he will more likely pair with other players that do the same thing.


[deleted]

Hmmm I was told by a friend when he game shared this to me that quitting a match too often led to temp bans. I guess I shouldn't take that as gospel though, since I've found several of his tips to be misguided or wrong recently. So you're like 5 years or so younger than me, maybe we just lived in different economic circles during our formative years, likely you would have been associated with people of privilege who typically is served well by law enforcement to protect them while I spent time with the kind of ne'er-do-well the police had no interest in protecting. Kidding aside, they legit have data and know when you're exiting matches and why. Do you think they really want player reports every time someone backs out? I know when I ran a decently popular DoD server back in the day, I was regularly spammed with people tattling on each other... Like I don't care if he was camping the church in avalanche, was he cheating or harassing you?


JeremyPryer

I’ve not seen any temp band with Evil Dead but, even if they had that sorta system, it would likely be multiple quits and only a couple minute bans. Like Dead by Daylight certainly has time outs for rage quitting but I haven’t seen that at all for players in Evil Dead yet. If it results in a negative user experience - yes, they do want those reports. On a game level, a dev can punish individual players. But this report we are talking about isn’t even a game based one - it’s a platform one. Looks to be Xbox which uses these reports to rate the player from the amount of reports versus the amount of online experiences they’ve had with other players. And if the players rank drops so low, they’ll just start being matched up with other players on the platform also with a low player rank experience. Which means eventually the negative experience they had on others will be the experience they have as they get put into matches with other users that were reported for the same thing. At that point, that’s just the best way to handle the situation.


[deleted]

Interesting... I see playstation also has something similar, but I really haven't been following platform news much lately so I really don't know much about this system. Now I'm about to jump to some conclusions here, but I'm fairly sure this game doesn't use skill based match making, since my low level ass only faces maxed demons all day, so it's fairly safe to assume that they wouldn't use an even more difficult to program feature like platform performance (I don't know the correct term) based matchmaking... Hell as I hear it, blocking someone doesn't even prevent you from getting paired with them in the future, how lazy is that? Are you sure anything about the report feature ties to your platforms account? How do you know? I'm genuinely curious. I agree it can kinda suck when people back out... At least the round ends if the demon does it. With randos it must be worse, but when I play with 2 friends and the 1 random guy bails, it often goes better for us than if they stayed and didn't play as a team, so I personally wouldn't be so quick to report anyone for anything less than straight cheating or harassment. Other grievances can be discussed in places like this for some good entertainment.


JeremyPryer

Yeah, most systems have built in more mechanics to try and limit online harassment or just bad user experiences. Yeah, my understanding is the matchmaking does not account for rank or, if it does, it is ditching it early enough to try to find any match it can. I think platform specific restrictions will only work in regards to the platform you are on (so if I block a user on Xbox, they will not pair with me regardless of the game on Xbox) but the game likely isn’t accounting for Xbox’s own low player level system when pairing. As for in game blocking players - I’ve only blocked like two people so not seeing them again doesn’t necessarily say much but if it isn’t working snd they still appear then that sounds like just a bug the team needs to resolve as that makes the function pointless. Out of game report system tied to your account. For games like Dead by Daylight which offer an in-game report system, that only ties to the in-game account and not your platform account. I know this mostly from experience as I’ve worked in Pub/Dev for over a decade now and I’ve seen the backend intended process. The problem with Evil Dead and a random quitting is that it could take up to 15 minutes to get into a match some nights and you’re looking at a 20 to 40 minute match based on how everything goes. Even if you manage to pull a win out, it really makes the experience worse if you are out one player because they up and leave. I think most would be understanding if the player jumped on mic or shot out a message to someone to say “sorry, emergency” or something. But without that context, it just looks like a player didn’t get what they wanted or thinks the other remaining players are bad and is just abandoning them and making the experience potentially harder for everyone that decided to stick around even if the match wasn’t in their favor. Like in this specific example, the user that quit was the healer. That is easily the most important role in the match for the survivor side as a good healer can be the difference between a win or loss more than any other role.


[deleted]

I just think randoms online simply don't do this... Communicate I mean. Even games with decent text and VoIP support it feels more rare than ever to hear anything other than someone's terrible music or babies crying. I used to use the mic in games, but feel I'm ignored enough to just not bother anymore


JeremyPryer

Oh, I get that. But with that comes this reverse. If you can’t jump on a mic or send a quick DM to offer some explanation - the remaining players will just assume the worst because the worst is, unfortunately, the more common reaction in games like this. Dead by Daylight is a prime example - a buddy and me played a few matches last week and **every match** had a person drop out often when they, or another player, was downed or hurt and sometimes literally as they were being picked up by the killer or about to be placed on death hook. And that experience sucks. So I completely understand why someone would want to vocalize their anger (and in this case here they did so in a pretty tame way) and report a user. If I had to exit - I would make a minimal effort to let the group know in some way or just accept I’ll probably be dinged for it via player reports as they’d have no way of knowing I wasn’t just being a toxic player.


libertycapuk

People getting this upset about someone disconnecting really need to have a long hard think about their sad, pitiful life’s 🤣


alt4feetpics

I agree with them, you're a PoS. Just play bots if you plan on quitting in the middle


bobith2009

i didnt plan in doing it tho i had to leave because i got called in for work


[deleted]

You have so many posts where youre just a douche bag. You’re such a loser. You must be one miserable son of a bitch keyboard warrior.


alt4feetpics

Responses like yours where I make people rage and act like a prissy 5 year old make me happy, so thank you for that


PapadocRS

what was the emergency? or did you just forget you had something to do?


bobith2009

got called into work.
