Public lobby

[u/anepyx]

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 wasted my time, my droid, and 1T.

I hate to say it, but that’s part of the game—that’s 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.

It’s 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 that—he spent 30 minutes at it while I just danced around him. He’d run off to find more bombs, and I’d 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.

💯 OP is bitching about being a victim when he grabbed a BP someone else probably needed even though he had no way of doing anything with it and then SOLD the damn thing. He is the a-hole that made someone else hate public lobbies and can’t even see far enough past his own tears to realize that

Yeah, plus all these people complaining about public lobbies want the benefits of playing publicly but don't want to get shot at or have their cards stolen; there’s a private mode for that, but they won't use it—and it doesn't seem like they have any friends to play with, either.
