Party events are a time-wasting POS

[ghsnu]

Been trying to play these events for the past couple of days and it just gets worse. Try playing cat and mouse, but some 🤬 decides to leave and the game ends before we even play.

Try to play CTF, and I just get the 🤬 beat out of me by my OWN TEAM.

Then play invasion and some 🤬 is sitting there doing nothing.

And yes, these were team events. Looks like it's back to point-to-point for me. At least there's less 🤬-baggery there.

If had my connection drop out on me before the game begins. And I've seen it happen to others.

It's better when you play it free-for-all.

That's your biggest complaint? Maybe the guy needed a toiled break or something.

If you don't like them, don't play them.

Where is the discussion value...?

You can't blame a game if a player dips out.

Here's a little tip for ya, if you're playing team party games why not play them... in a party?

ye know m8 , i know exactly how you feel, happens all the time to me playng outbreak, of course other people on this forum tend to stick up for them , but you do get numptys unfortunately, add me on psn and well get some private matches going that way we know its serious players, psn: andy1weir

It's absolutely hilarious when the person chosen for Outbreak is away. People tend to start messing around and do donuts and the like around them, so then you get to play the game called 'ram some other guy into the green car'!

It's highly entertaining, I suggest you try it. Also, in case you didn't notice, the party games are more fun if you treat them as novelties. You know, play them for fun instead of for competition, perhaps why they are called party games? They are some of the most fun you can have in the game if you treat them that way.

I have barely touched any online modes, so if anyone wants to add me, I'd love to get into a room with like minded players....MuchoJimbo

One time I literally just sat beside the zombie... they eventually got disconnected and we had an air infection.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

What is an air infection, anyway? I had one yesterday, but I've never seen it before. I'm guessing it's a cloud of infected air that latches onto the first person to drive through it?

Not familiar with these modes, but that sounds genius, instead of just randomly picking someone. Does it move around?

When the infected origin disconnects or leaves, the game randomly passes it on to someone else. To not make it lame, they fancied it up and called it an air infection.

I only know because I've witnessed the Origin disconnecting and the game announcing it.

Based on AOS-'s description, I can only wish.

If it were me, I would have suspended the timer and had the infection as a cloud that started to spread until it touched someone or someone drive through it. Then they would be infected and the timer would start again, with the game proceeding as normal.

Cars IRL aren't affected by green gases

I hate when you're driving the mini on cat and mouse and your team doesn't know what to do so they are miles out in front.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

There's two ways to play Cat 'n' Mouse: offensive or defensive. Offensive involves chasing the other Minis and taking them out. Defensive is riding shotgun for your Mini and fending off attacks. But yes, it's annoying when your team-mate seems to think it's a normal race.

But there are idiots everywhere. I was playing Transporter today in teams and my team-mate kept crashing into me when I had the flag.

Same, I hate when that happens or when the idiots on ur team are in the target circle just so they get some points.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

It's worse when other players lurk in the target zones. In the event of a collision in a target zone, the game seems to register the collision before the point being scored.
