What a mess. Those public customs were they only way i could find like minded players. Private no good as my friends don’t play this game much at all. Starting to see why

If you are playing solo, like myself, once you have full squad before you start your game you can always make your lobby not visible so that no one will join your game. But downside to this is that if you lose your key player (JD - boss killer) then you might struggle. However, if you desperately need a player then you can always create a post. It’s not the brightest of idea, but it has definitely stopped clowns joining in my game lol.

We shouldn’t have to jump through all these hoops. It’s great to see this community working out ways to try and fix blunders by TC.

I did not see this issue listed as a known bug on the Trello board. Please fix this TC.

Of course not. They update the board only weekly and so far this week it hasn’t been.

I see the Trello board now includes the inability to kick players as a known issue. Thank you TC. Hopefully this issue is resolved soon.

I was looking for a post like this. For someone that host a lot, this is the most frustrating thing I’ve dealt with in this game. Players are really taking advantage, so they’re doing whatever they want, when they want.
You literally just have to quit matches entirely to “fix” it. This needs fixing immediately!

I’ve had people taking weapons from lockers that weren’t there’s, people refilling ammo by buying a new gun each round, people swiping at you and shooting you for no reason. And Dels (usually) joining after wave 20 and then building sentries straight away and putting them directly in front of other people’s sentries. The same Del then spends way to much money, with power drain on, to protect a tap and then the very next wave it gets destroyed and he doesn’t even bother rebuilding.
I’ve found myself becoming very selfish now. As soon as a bad player joins. Dels, always bloody Dels. I start building my own stuff to make sure he has as little money as possible to build 4 sentries and take them out to spawn points. While everyone else is gagging for weapons lockers and base protection.
To take out the only weapon we have against these idiots has ruined this game.

I’ve just been a victim of this. Our team was on Wave 29, Master and some clown joined as Sarah Connor, took all our ammo, used all our weapons and we had to quit. C’mon TC, sort this out. Put the kick option back in. I won’t be playing Horde until it’s sorted.

I have been kicked out but I wasn’t sure how they did it. Not that I was a bad player, they were just a bad host. It was during gameplay on pause screen, and not from lobby. So there does seem to be a way around it.
Versus isn’t an issue. It’s not too difficult to swap to another game or even win with an idiot. It’s more based on individual talents.
Horde is a different beast. There has to be an understanding between players at the harder levels. Most of the time there isn’t even communication. You just click into a groove with each other. The jack brings you a weapon he knows you use. The engineer brings a weapon locker closer to fahz etc.
It’d be better just having the AI soldier fill up that one space rather than a moron.
To think this problem for pve was created by trying to fix an issue for ranked versus is really frustrating. How about next time when we get an update that once again nerfs something, it accidentally takes out shotguns for ranked matches. And see how quickly it gets fixed.
And instead of changing the pictures in the cards again (twice by my count) you could troubleshoot better.
Yeah we’ve really broke horde to better ranked but look! Paduk doesn’t have that mask anymore. He’s in a bit of shade.

Booted up horde after long time away playing master and some guy joined in wave 34 ish and buys forges and starts using weapons and dumping them.
When I went to go kick there wasn’t an option.
Was my game being weird or did thay take away that option again?

it’s a thing at the moment.
I was a victim of this today too. Vote with your feet, don’t play Horde until it’s fixed. I know that’s what I’m doing now.
It’s so bad. And I don’t get a lot of time to put into horde as I would like.
It’s hard to set aside 2-3 hours.

It was a Sarah Conor for me too. Name was “nineteen” something.
It just disappointing bc I don’t get a lot of time to play full horde.
I’m sorry if posting gamertags is against the rules.
Mod edit: It is.
Also very much a nuisance in Escape if some low level guy(to refrain from being impolite though I very much would like to be) or just terrible player joins your Escape match. The terrible player ended up quitting when dying to their own faults(or not getting revived immediately when we had enemies to bother with), but the low level guy eventually just stood there turning in circles meleeing until the host decided to end the match because we were repeatedly failing when we could really have used a good third player for that ending. Only figured out it was a Level 4 character when we got to the lobby.
Have had better luck with teammates in Horde, only Ironman or random disconnects for no reason being the usual issue.
