Horde griefer (unkickable)

Gears 5
#15

That’s really unfortunate. I wonder if there is anything on TC’s side that can be done to fix this or if it’s a Microsoft issue.

This troll/griefer was astounding. Actually played like the ideal teammate, even sending supportive and helpful messages in the text chat before going on a trolling rampage at wave 40 ■■■■■■■ 7 after nearly 3 hours of game time. He kept messaging apologetic messages and said he’d stop but clearly didn’t.

Absolutely crazy to enjoy doing something like that to others. Tbh I actually feel for him, that’s so messed up.

I’m not sure.

@TC_Octus care to comment?

Do you guys have the ability to implement a fix for this?

Currently any troll can join lobbies, block host, and troll freely. Unable to be kicked.

#17

Plot twist…

Octus IS the troll :grin:

Third time this has happened to me/others who just wants to play on higher difficultys insane/master,I’m sick of it,This morning another jack joined us to mess up the game,so that we couldn’t go on,could not get the gamer tag to block/report even on player recently played with because it stated not available,:rage:

If it’s true that blocking the host makes you not show up in their social tab, my guess is it’s an Xbox Live shortcoming, not the game itself.

I don’t understand people like this. Aside from the fact that they destroyed the game for themselves too, what entertainment is there to be derived from ruining someone’s day? How empty does your inner life have to be, to consider that fun?

What makes a troll? God only knows. I almost want them to let us put a lvl requirement on lobbies to keep them out. Most trolls tend to get banned often and need to make another account. That usually doesn’t give them time to hit lvl 18.
However if we had that in place people would abuse it. I can picture people setting their lobbies to only let in lvl 18 chars that have reuped 25 times and the difficulty is only advanced.

He must have some serious issues if he joins a game and plays for three hours just to totally destroy it in the last 15 minutes.

I had the first experience with this today. He/she came in at wave 45 and destroyed everything. I quickly spent all the energy I could, but it was too late. He upgraded everything, forged weapons, and moved the fabricator across the map. He died doing this and we tried to wait him out, but to no avail. Is there a place to post these names on another social media platform? The guy blocked me so I couldn’t kick him. It’s a new account with a 200 gamer score. His name ended in a string of numbers and started with the letter “E”. I don’t believe I can say much more than that. I know this is an old thread, and if there are others let me know.

I ran into a Jack on All Fathers who took the ammo boxes and put them on top of cover where nobody could ever reach them, then moved stuff, took GL’s from locker and dropped them across map so they disappeared, etc.

I quit after a few rounds shaking my head.

These peeps are out there hyper…they really are🤣

#27

I’ve outlined an idea here that would circumvent(go around) this issue… but uncertain on the possibility of its implementation.

I know this troll also hosts dummy lobbies !!
Basically hosts and just does absolutely nothing just to waste other people’s time.

#29

Good Idea mate, I think that is a sufficient workaround.

#31

I wonder how badly these people’s lives must be going to find enjoyment in ruining other people’s games. What could there possibly be about just completely messing others up in a video game to find a positive feeling in?

Mod edit: Calling out by Gamertag and swearing isn’t allowed on here,

Hey Benzo. Same thing happened to me. Same Kat joined wave 40 bought a forge straight away and upgraded all fences to lvl 4 and stared melting weapons. I paused the game to kick him but his name wasn’t showing up, was about to stop the game but decided to wait until the end of the wave. Glad I did cos as soon as the wave ended his name showed up on the kick menu. I kicked and blocked and we ended up finishing the game. The best solution for this is to make sure that you don’t deposit into the fab but have all your team give the engineer energy directly,

It’s a trauma response.

Someone did it to them, or something similar, so they’re passing on the trauma.

Pretty well-studied phenomenon and what’s wrong with 95% of people these days. Parents traumatizing kids who grow up to be parents who traumatize their kids who grow up to…
