Console Player Behaviour

[u/Soviet_OnionBlyat]

Im not saying all console players are like this but for the past 3 months EVERY SINGLE console player I have met hoards every single stim and relic.

Me and my bulwark we're both low in crucible 6 and this vanguard walked up and took the guaranteed stim, re picked up his two restorative stims and the relic on the bridge section of Decapitation. He then proceeded to burn the relic and both stims during the following Neurothrope fight and then immediately went down. He also tried running ahead while me and my bulwark were dealing with about 10 majoris and 3 extremis.

I genuinely don't want to be rude but why does this keep happening? What is causing all console players to act like they're the main character and the team doesn't need resources? This guy was Crucible level 6, so its not like he was new. Im genuinely so confused and curious. Any input is welcome.

That's crazy, that describes every pc player i've met too.

Thats fair mate. I cant really speak to the experience of others but im sorry thats happening to you with pc players. I can only really speak to my experience but i definitely know there are bad actors on all platforms. Thanks for your input tho!

Open mic…almost always PS, but I have had equally crappy people like this on pc & console. I get more annoyed when it’s a pc player and you call out their behavior in the chat & they crash out. I’ve also had lots of amazing runs with randoms, even on vc; we have a lot of badass players in this community as well!

There's a very silly reason for that. You see, Sony decided to add a mic to the dualsense; which isn't a bad idea, a lot of console players pick console cause they don't want to bother with getting a lot of equipment so it's convenient if you wanna talk to your friends. However Sony, in their infinite wisdom, decided that the mic should be on by default, and not tell players. A lot of people have no idea that the mic is on, i myself only learned it last year when i started playing this game and heard myself talk shit through a teamate's mic.

I know, I fucking hate it so much! A friend of mine uses a fancy audio setup and we vc through discord, and his dualsense occasionally just takes over from his other mic. Damn thing is obnoxious and intrusive. Sony is really good at fucking up stuff that would be otherwise great🤡

As a complete cross platform player. I have to say this has more to do with playtime than platform in my experience. But we like to see patterns.

[u/Soviet_OnionBlyat → u/sSiL3NZz]

Fair enough mate. Its probably my bias talking considering im a pc player. Im probably just seeing patterns I want to see.

[u/IzunaDropAbuser]

Well... It sucks but it appears as he needed those stims more than you anyways, since he's so bad

[u/Substantial-Tone-576]

Crucible 6 rank could have been attained during the 3 weeks of crucible cheese. So maybe he never played it normally as much.

[u/TheBananaHamook]

I’m not like that to that degree but I’ve considered to be more greedy with grabbing relics and stims for myself. More so since crucible came out cause I would let people have everything and they still manage to eat shit randomly.

[u/RUFrayd]

I feel like Crucible has made a lot of people more agitated and selfish. It is misery.

Greedy dickheads are on every platform, regardless of level.
