    Teams in solo survival

    Why do the dev's allow teams in a solo survival mode?? They don't even disable the group function??

    Yes there ****ing is, you can queue for solo and find other solo players or you queue as multiple people to find other groups
    Do you EVER read patch notes ?

    It says solo que

    It is a shame i spend an hour and a half, having a blast looting ,crafting,staying alive. Just to get mowed down by 2 man, 3 man even 4 man teams in DZ . They either camp safe houses or will wait till you try to extract and kill you ez when hunter spawns on you. The only way to combat this is to rush to Dz under geared, or just try to out live them with meds.. i have stayed in 1 game for 2 hours just to out last the other players so i could extract. Is this how the devs want this game to be played?? Pretty scummy to team up INSIDE knowing you are avoiding being in a match with other teams. This is FAIR play?

    Calm down, bro.

    And that's solo queuing. You are still able to group up with players, even if you solo queued, meaning there is no solo Survival mode.

    Every mp has the possibility for team up sabotage.

    Honestly, if it says solo, they should remove grouping. Sure you'd still get people on TS working together but they'd get:

    • No shared skills
    • Team damage (well not in the purest concept ingame, but they damage their "mates" from Teamspeak)


    And to be fair, with some more complex coding, you could technically solve it, but I'm expecting this to be a bit to much:

    You could technically set a certain "proximity" area for players and if players in a solo que are within that proximity of eachother for a period of time without inflicting lethal damage upon eachother: Kick from server. I wouldn't ban them from the game, just kick from the instance or if possible just reconnect them to a different server, toss them in the nearest safe house and "auto-group" them in a group session where people already died so they can repopulate the 24 player slots.

    But that's probably a bridge to far and could probably still be abused with a steady medkit supply and reviving.
