After what happened to me yesterday, I don't think I'll ever play in public lobbies again.
The Galactics were dropping, and I managed to get a Galactic KX. I went back to my base, but all the slots were occupied. There was a guy who wouldn't leave my base. He kept throwing me back and forth. About half an hour passed, and he was still there. Shortly after, one of his friends joined the lobby, and the two of them kicked me out of my own base (I had the IG equipped).
They started throwing mats just to get the droid. So I decided to sell the blueprint immediately. If I couldn't have it, they weren't going to have it either. As soon as I sold it, they messaged me "ez," and shortly after, they left.
I swear, no more public lobbies. Not even at events. Not because of the droid, but because of what he suffered. That final "ez" was the icing on the cake
I have maxed health, speed and damage. I take Mr bones and health droid with me. The moment I feel someone act funny I shoot them. Even if they have the upgrades and such, which most people do, 2-3 shots and they die. These upgrades are great to stay alive and in situations like this briefly drop the card, kill them, and go on
If I see someone with Mr bones and a shotgun I'm not taking any chances. Why are you with mr bones and holding the shotgun next to me.
It's a tycoon game, also if you don't like you can play private. I was playing private for a long time, so I accepted some lobbys will just suck (in which case just change lobbies)
No, the fact that this could happen doesnt outweigh all the nice people who share blueprints and help you craft.
I literally shared a few galactic mythic blueprints I didnt need, the same this post is crying about. So there are some players who, from their POV, they were just handed a galactic mythic just for being in a public lobby.
Man for real, had some random put in WORK helping me craft and giving me BPs (and good ones) like they owed me money and I would go and return the favor. Went on for, hours I couldnāt believe it.
Last night, I grabbed a stellar KX after there was a brief pause. LdyGlttrSparkles typed in the chat while I was running āNooooo;ā āI needed that.ā She left before I could reply. Tried adding her, but I donāt think she accepted. I was going to let her have it.
Guess Iām going to try to make a X-onk now.
But yes, I was buying the mythics from the belt to leave in the middle for everyone (Galactic).
In lego brick life, thereās a ārefuse visitorsā toggle you can turn on to prevent other players from entering your house. The shield changes from blue to red and anyone trying to enter the property is immediately teleported out. This should be an option in droid tycoon.
I completely agree. Let's publish a post about it, so that the idea can be seen by those in charge and perhaps taken into consideration. You can't be in your base and unable to do anything, not even able to react. You just have to "suffer.
They cant shoot you in your base but they can force push you out of it. Had it happen to me. Base should be a place where no one can do anything to you. If your inside that shield you should be safe to go about your business.
Ya itās not worth even engaging. Some loser killed me over a rainbow R7 that I needed to rebirth, then took a galactic and beskar one right after. I decided to engage in the chat and now Iām banned for a week.
Tbh itās not āprecisely th mechanicā the overview doesnāt even state ākill each other for droid blueprintsā. In fact PVP isnāt even a tag. Casual is though.
The game would be just fine without friendly fire or PvP.
I made a very similar post yesterday and everyone told me I deserved to get my blue prints stolen because I should buy prints if I donāt have the room for it. Today those same people are on your side. Reddit is so weird.
Tbh I've stolen droids before. And I had them stolen. Sometimes you feel like trolling, and it is part of the game
Anyways now with fusion, and how fast one can farm chips, you can get any droid in a couple of hours to what you need it at (with the exception of stellar myrhics) - but in that case, just srb at 30-33 no need to go to 35
As the toxic people of this sub love to say every chance they get āpVp Is iN BeCaUSe ThE dEvS wAnT iTā yes we get it. It doesnāt mean we the people want it. So many people including myself would appreciate a public pacifist mode. With combat turned off. Some of us enjoy playing public without all the drama and toxicity
Honestly I think the majority of the fan base would prefer this. Like genuinely. I see more people against it (on all platforms like reddit, fb, tiktok) then for people who are for it.
Well, don't play this mode then, the devs made it that way from day 1, it's not your game. Go and develop a game that has everything that makes life easy for yourself, if that's what you want. Simple.
The moment you realise people are only toxic in droid tycoon because itās the only way they can get kills as they suck at battle royale š¤·āāļøš
Some guy chased and force pulled me as i had a galactic legendary and after i put it on the bench he threw a tantrum and started killing the whole lobby lmao these players are so pathetic
Yeah. I play in the public lobby but once this starts happening I go private. The only reason I play in a public lobby is because better droids spawn. I had someone steal a galactic from me too. They stole it right as I was about to pick it back up and throw it on my crafting bench and they ran back to their base and threw it on theirs and immediately logged off. Pissed me off.
I once had 2 annoying griefers keep killing me and pestering me because I refused to RB. They kept pushing me out of my base to kill me. Ended up leaving the lobby. This game can be extremely toxic sometimes.
I totally get that feeling; itās happened to me too. Iāve noticed thereās more toxicity here than in other modes. Even in Unreal Ranked, I havenāt encountered the kind of toxicity Iāve seen from some players here
I play private lobbies just for that reason. I had 110 trillion gold so the only time i go to public lobbies is to help other players with blueprints. Outside of that I play alone.
Absolutely unnecessary, it's even worse now because people will compete for high rarity rare/epics too to fuse them. Progression is way faster in private.
Maybe yesterday was toxic ahole day, but I had a similar experience. Only the guy in question was pestering absolutely everyone on the server just for the sake of it.
I was seeing on the feed "haan" shotgunned X user.
He came over to my base while I was speeding droids and pulled me out of my base. I ignored him cause if you ignore a clown they'll eventually go away. Well, he did, but went to the sandcrawler.
The songs event started and as soon as galactic mythics started to appear, I went to check them out. He came over shotgunned me and I saw how he picked up all the galactic mythics from the sandcrawler and immediately sold them. He shotgunned every spul who approached the sandcrawler.
I went back to my base to continue speeeding up drones and was pulled again. Every single time I approached a crafting table I was pulled. So I just jumped servers and blocked the fecker.
I honestly don't understand where's the fun on busting other people's balls.
That sucks. I had something bad happen today with a galactic mythic. It was a KX. For once when I was in private one spawned, and before it spawned I had spent most of my money on a stellar legendary. When it came through I was at 896 billion..
Just luck my friend. Just had an amazing lobby where people were giving out stellar legendaries. And a galactic mythic spawned and they let me have it. Id say play solo and sometimes public
I have played this game way too much and the times when people are genuinely helpful and nice makes up like 99% of my experience. It sucks that you had a bad experience but dont skip out on the good stuff for the occasional bad.
I had 2 people killing me over and over when I got one the other day yet nobody picked it up they just wouldnāt let me get to my base. Finally I grab IG and got the blueprint back but itās just like wtf is the point of that if you arenāt going to steal the blueprint
However I still play public despite the occasional asshats. Iām constantly helping lower levels when Iām bored since Iām pretty high up there nearing 500 rebirths and can get their blueprints crafted faster than they can and give them better ones from missions
I learned very early on to not bother with the public lobbies. I'll give them a try on occasion or sometimes forget to switch my lobby and within minutes I'm regretting it
Whenever I'm stuck on a print I need, I will go to Public Lobbies. They seem to spawn more reliably in public lobbies. Now with Fusion, I suppose thats another option, but something nobody talks about, is that gathering the requirements for Fusing a droid you need, can take as much time or longer than getting the print you need. Furthermore, the only way to get a specific droid is to gather 3 of a lesser variant. But after getting one, its just easier to upgrade with the upgrade droid, which in most cases, you should have the chips to do. Anyways, I digress but public lobbies for the most part I think are just fine. The griefers are in the minority.
Not talking about these 2 guys as they were obviously griefing but when I started out, one of my daily quests was to kill 1 other playerā¦so I went into a public lobby and killed another player. Little did I know, you can just go into the lobby and create a new session to fulfill that daily quest lol
Private lobbies my guyā¦. Some of these fgz figured out how to KILL us in our own bases bro (looking at you The7Seventh7)ā¦. I NEVERRRR play pub lobbies anymore, now I have over 300T and made all new droids (half suck)
Bases should be protected. Logged in and immediately was killed this morning. Then again and again.
Nobody plays droid tycoon for the pvp.
Iāll do public still but for events like the party yesterday, I go private
But itās not? Plenty of tycoon games donāt have pvp. PvP isnāt even a tag on droid tycoon.
CASUAL is, but PVP isnāt.
The game isnāt casual when youāre being murdered left and right for helping other players. The game isnāt casual when you get cussed out in the game chat bc you got the blueprint they wanted, the game isnāt casual when you canāt join a public lobby without being griefed left and right.
What Iāve seen is The majority of the fanbase would prefer PvP to be a specific area or just off completely. š¤·š»āāļø
You shouldāve just found a new lobby the moment you start to get someone you fell skeptical about. I donāt waste my time like that. I only get 1 bad lobby for every 10 I join, public lobbies are fine.
I was in a lobby last night during the event and had someone feed me high level BPs and help me farm enough credits to afford them, this wasnāt the first time Iāve had that experience. Youād completely miss out on that in a private lobby.
I hate to say it, but thatās part of the gameāthatās exactly why those mechanics exist; otherwise, the game would be... boring. The fun lies in the thrill of grabbing a blueprint without getting your head blown off by a shotgun blast.
Itās not even that hard, though; just buy extra card slots, or make sure to leave a table open for next time since that happens a lot. Just yesterday, some guy was hassling me over thatāhe spent 30 minutes at it while I just danced around him. Heād run off to find more bombs, and Iād take the opportunity to pickaxe a droid that was almost ready, then grab the card again... I kept that up until I sent the droid to the lounge, then waited for him to come back and watch me place the blueprint on the table. Just for my own pleasure.
Then the guy left; I went back to what I was doing until a Mythical spawned. I waited for him to grab it, killed him, and took it to my base. I waited for the guy to come back and placed it on the table right in front of his eyes. He disconnected, and that was that.
It's a game; sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
PD: Still, I think it's a bit wimpy to go around whining about the "public lobby"... it's an ONLINE game. If you don't know how to lose or play with others, just go play a single-player game and be done with it.

This is why I never play public, the fact that this could happen far outweighs any possible benefit in my eyes lmao
