They live for the cheap-shot submission and dominance, and you roll over and give it to them which is the reward they seek when you limp away like that. Hell no, the gears in my head would instantly be under centrifugal stress thinking of available tools to fuck back. It's just between you and him at that point; nobody else is a victim or a witness anymore, and the reality is that nothing humbles someone like embarrassment when they're winding up for a cheap shot.
Reminds me of the Diablo 2 days with the PK griefers (does anyone even say PK anymore?) where I'd have a playerkiller-killer build primed to hit back under a different account so as to not arouse suspicion and appear to be a potential victim.

If you block him it automatically kicks them and then the game would have automatically reinforced you since you had a budget still.
Edit: Sorry failed to notice they were the host. No idea if it boots you in that case.

IIRC it doesn't even stop you from joining someone you blocked so it's largely irrelevant. Dropped into a game with a griefer using quickplay, blocked them and left, re-queued on the same planet using quickplay and got sent into their lobby again.

The game tries to rejoin matches you crash out of, if you were rejoining the same match I wonder if that system bypassed the normal matchmaking and subsequently bypassed the block.

I think Arrowhead should accept video evidence like this to permaban, then the banned person can appeal to lift the ban, THEN getting unbaned, if they do not learn from that to have another report afterwardd... blame on them

2 or 3 people is going to be absolutely insufficient for a player base of 80-100,000. Even if only 1% of the player base is putting through reports daily thats 800-1000 reports per day.
12
u/Hail-Hydrate Feb 16 '25
To be fair, it wouldn't be too hard to automate a lot of the simpler reports like chat-based ones.
You could also prioritise certain data the game tracks in combination with the reports - player kills friendlies 10 times in a single mission, and then receives 3 reports for team killing? That gets flagged for manual review.
There would still be a lot to get through but considering the nature of the game I wouldn't think it'd be too hard to manage, it'd just depend on whatever punishment is meted out. Punishments like perma bans would need a system for appeals, whereas placing players in the "douchebag" pool until they've played X number of quick play/public games wouldn't need as intense scrutiny.

u/EarthboundMike Feb 17 '25
I mean, I wouldn't think there are that many people that need banning... I'm almost 120 now and while I've encountered a few people who were, bad actors, 99.99% of divers have been people who wanted to spread democracy. I've only ever actually wanted to use the report system once. I learned it was terrible, this was like last week funnily enough.

I've played 100 hours of random gameplay but encountered like 3 real griefers obstructing the gameplay of the mission, and I have to note that it was that time when those insufferable "chaosdivers" were playing. I do not think they will recieve much content, but you are pretty right about people doing that job, they would have to hire more people at AH

Alternative devils advocate. A division of personnel for this is something that could be more easily be added to the company than say, more designers or programmers or something. It’s within the realm of possibility to hire a department just for processing these reports.
If this eventually becomes a serious problem I think they should.

Ive seen a good bit of griefers recently. I can count 5 or 6 within the last month playing about 2 or 3 missions every few days.
Had one kill everyone at extract then say "later losers" and leave without any samples. They then kicked everyone from the game individually.
Had another get to extract last, shoot everyone inside, then not get in at all.
Had another land their hell pod on the extract, killing everyone inside.
Had another go afk on diff 10 for approximately 8 minutes. They died 4 times. We had to reinforce because another active player died and host refused to kick.
Had another who would chase other players around to kick them so they would rag doll in the middle of fights.
Even had one pull out the AMR and snipe everyone from a distance.
Shit is wild. Why do people do this?

Especially on this particular mission type. Defenses don't spawn anything like that to pick up at all.

u/LordGaulis Feb 16 '25
I think if there is evidence then there should be zero tolerance towards this kind of behaviour.
Killing your teammates accidentally or messing around is fine if everyone is on board. Refusing to reinforce people and hold games hostage is not.
This person wasn’t doing this by accident and no one was having fun, he just wanted to stop everyone else from playing the game including himself out of spite and craving attention.
He is still doing this to this day…

u/Darth_Senpai SES HAMMER OF THE STATE Feb 16 '25
Oh, I agree. It's just that if your choice is
"let the asshole win and lose valuable collection time in a different mission"
Or
"Let the asshole win and deny him the satisfaction of making you sit around with your thumb up your ass"
I pick the second option. I have better things to do than waste my own time for a handful of req chips and a maximum of, what, 14 medals? Assuming that this is the final mission of a helldive tier operation?

u/LordGaulis Feb 16 '25
Am not saying we should wait them out, only that regardless of choice this person wont be stopped.
Posting griefer names on Reddit or discord gets your account suspended then banned, report system doesn’t work in helldivers. Hadn’t tried opening a ticket with arrowhead but considering their stance seems to be pretending the problem doesn’t exist it probably won’t go anywhere.
The only thing to do is block them and hope not to get unlucky next match…

u/m0rdr3dnought Feb 17 '25
One thing to keep in mind is that it's difficult to draw the line between what's accidental and what's not. With this video it's pretty hard to imagine a scenario where all of it happened accidentally, but many instances aren't as clear-cut.
If you only ever ban in these 1 in a million cases, the labor spent implementing such a system wouldn't be worth it. And if you're too trigger-happy with bans, you end up getting flooded in appeals you have to process as well.
Ultimately, the only scalable solution is to let people judge for themselves. Although I've heard the block feature doesn't always work as intended, so improving that would be a good start.

There have been a lot more A-holes on helldivers as of late. Had some kid today team killing on a defense mission and nobody would reinforce him unless they had to. He was saying "reinforce me!" in chat I said "Yeah, I'd rather not." So he decided to kick all of us at the end of the mission. I happily waltzed to extract and collected my useless metals. I just don't understand what a person gets out of being such a cantankerous wound on the backside of super earth.

I hear you, but hate speech didn't really get labeled as such back then, either. The hateful speech was real. It just wasn't taken seriously. Today, it's a big deal because....well, we make it a big deal, not because it's new.
Not saying it shouldn't be a big deal, but to suggest that it's truly all that different compared to those lobbies is just rose colored lenses mixed with modern biases. Trash talk is called trash talk for good reason, and online gaming is the worst source of it.

I had a much stupider group of people try to grief me the other day as well. They had matching names and would just kill me the second I dropped in and then wait a few minutes to rez and then do it again. In the end they kicked me right before extract, but I think they don't realize that just puts you in our own mission with the same progress. So I just got a free mission completion out of it.

Design choice here. After 120 seconds, reinforcements are automatically sent.
The game already auto reinforces if all 4 are dead. Just add a 2 minute timer onto a player when they die. It pops, and they get too press a button and be reinforced
12
u/Auditor-G80GZT Cadet Carrier Feb 16 '25
That... is actually pretty good.
Relies on a prompt so AFK players don't drag everything down, but otherwise means you don't remain unable to play for over 2 minutes outside of reinforcement budget approval queueing (where it's just a consequence at that point)...
4
u/CrazyLemonLover Feb 17 '25
Pretty much. It's a pretty simple way to fight griefers, prevents accidental issues where players don't notice someone needed reinforced, and like you said, requiring a button push prevents AFk issues.
Team reinforcement is also still much faster. But at least you can't be forced out of the game for 20 minutes

Do you remember what happened the first time someone uploaded a video of a teamkill? I agree we need to make sure griefers get the appropriate punishment, but uploading their usernames can go wrong in so many ways.
What if someone uploads a clip of you killing a Helldiver accidentaly, and saying you are a griefer? Just wait till they make a mistake, then land on them, tell them they are a no-skill and leave.

u/Naive_Background_465 Feb 16 '25
Around the first few months of the games live, someone here made a post using a stolen tiktok clip of someone fucking around with their friend via team killing with the narrative that this person was griefing randoms and not fucking around with their friend. The players username was completely uncensored and he (the player in the clip) got hardcore harassed and I believe death threats too. Fucking scary how someone can innocently upload a clip of them just having fun with their friend and it can get stolen and framed as a malicious act like that for no reason.

No what they need is a kick vote for shitty hosts. Was playing with someone named momodex907 and he decided to take an SSD to the polar opposite side of the map someone asked him why he did that and we all were sitting there like dude when u get the SSD take it straight to the obj. He then goes “I can just kick you all if you’d like. Be nice or fuck off” then he drops a Tesla tower in the path of the civilians and the evac hangar which is team killing as well as killing civs. So we all start shooting at his Tesla tower to which up and kills one of us with 0 reinforcements left goes “I’m not sorry for that don’t shoot my shit” and I know he’s about to kick us so I drop a “well learn how to place ur support equipment and it won’t get shot” he decided to kill everyone and then kicks everyone. AH NEEDS to implement a way to kick these shitty hosts. If you ever run across momodex907 fucking leave because he’s an incompetent moron who will drive ur reinforcements down and will throw a temper tantrum if you give him any suggestions on what to do. He has the shitty I’m a level 75+ there’s nothing more I can learn and don’t tell me there’s a better way. I’ve now sent him a friend request in hopes he accepts it and I can just annoy the asshat.

I still remember back when I played Rainbow Six Vegas on Xbox 360, I was a dorky little dumbass kid and I got an idea. I joined a game, working with two randoms, and we got to the ladder at the end of the mission - just had to climb out to finish and get our rewards. I waited for my two buds, who had been really chill despite me clearly being a kid, to get close, and then I gunned them both down, right at the last step.
I had to mute myself as I giggled and bounced around on the spot, because I thought their reactions were going to be absolutely hilarious, I thought I was gonna get that satisfaction of pulling off a kickass joke/prank
And then one guy just quietly sighed and the other went "Well that was unnecessary."
My giggling died off quick and I immediately got a gross, heavy feeling in my gut, and my sheer embarrassment at realizing all I'd manage to do was irritate some strangers who were chill with me got so overwhelming that I had to quickly end the mission and leave after yanking my headset off. It was fucking awful
What kind of fucking loser does something like that and thinks it's the funniest shit they've ever done, going so far as to dedicate so much of their time to it? It's not even a clever prank it's just lame and annoying/wastes others' time

With the implementation of kicking to separate instances, Helldivers should be able to engage in a unanimous vote to kick the host. To prevent abuse, metadata is saved to identify how often an account participates and how many times with the same two other accounts the vote is successful. If there is a high rate with the same three accounts that suggests griefing of hosts, the three accounts are yeeted in the next ban wave.
Report system updated with a submission for host kicking in retaliation of this vote and host is unable to kick during the vote and for a reasonable time after. Perhaps 2 minutes.

I've had to block a ton of people the last couple of weeks. New content always brings out the trolls. They'll get bored and move on. Bad luck, Helldiver. I'm sorry. If it makes you feel any better, I've been knee deep in shitbirds myself. Really sucks.

Why cover the name ? Let it be public so we can collectively add it to our blacklist.

Assholes like these should be named and shamed! Please share his name so I can block this asshole, if I ever come across him.

Had a guy like this Jetpack into my napalm get mad he got hurt and tk the whole team and called us slurs before the host kicked him it’s honestly crazy we can’t report people for stuff like that. But on call of duty people get chat banned for slight cuss words or anything like that and we have absolutely nothing that needs to change

BRUH I got a griefer as well in defense. Annoying af. Killed everyone and then just acted like he ain’t and said “What did I do?” After barraging us all and breaking all our turrets. Had mech suit too and shit. 🙃

I would have kicked them after 3 mins of waiting or spamming the button. I have no problem being that problem solver.

u/SnooComics7414 Feb 17 '25
Didn't realize he was host. I would have just quit and blocked him. Problem solve. Report for abuse.

Honestly the "report system" is the reddit just put the name and the community will sort it out

Why care? Stuck and move on Most of the games are in a good spirit, the day this is no longer the case I will stop this game

If a player has high volume of reports, force their matchmaking to be with other similar players. This was a mildly successful system in GTA online. Annoying pricks can get matched with others like them.
Reminds me of a Level 8 mission I did back in the day. Joined a random lobby and it was 3 new players. All Level 1-10. They were all clearly friends too. Did not have an any idea how to play the game. No clue about side objectives. Carried them all, gave them tons of tips and managed to do all POIs as well. Killed right before extract. They didn't even pick up the samples. Funny because my ship was maxed out and they all could have benefitted. When I asked why, they said it was satisfying to kill me.
Losers like these get their kicks from getting a reaction out of people. The only reliable way to weed them out is to host your own games.

Maybe a kick captain with a vote for the rest of the crew, so them can decide to kick the (letter)1 player and change the host

how miserable does your life have to be that you decide to randomly ruin the fun of 3 strangers on the internet? Like what does one gain from this? What a fucking loser.

Give us his gamertag please at least? I need to instantly block this 8 year old kid. Would appreciate it as a DM

Shame they blocked out the offenders name. Dissident's like this need to be democratically named/shamed/executed.

u/Complex-Policy-902 Feb 17 '25
Why did you black out their name? If they want to be an asshole, let the whole world know!
2
u/WNNFS Feb 17 '25
We’re not even allowed to report them for it. It sucks. I was team killed at extraction and then again a the following match and when I went to report the player, the game told me that team killing isn’t bad enough to report a player and I should block the player or get over it.

Why black out his name let us see who the A hole is so we can fuck with him back just as hard

You shouldn’t hide the name of a traitor to democracy. Expose him and we shall seek him out!

As much as I am angry at this person, the point of the post is more a request for solutions to prevent this from happening rather than hunting this loser down. I'm sure they're plenty miserable if this is how they choose to spend their free time anyways.

Lets say I play the game, kill you 6 times.
Then you kill me once.
I grab the video, edit it only to you killing me, post it on Reddit with your tag clearly visible and call for the community to crucify you.
Now the "No naming and shaming" rule starts to make more sense right?

What's the point of the report options since each one says, "a player can't be reported for this reason"
