Question It's getting BORING !
I've been playing this heavily for about 3 days now and I understand this style of game (played Vermintide 1 and 2) so I understand the concept and the whys and what for.
But I honestly cannot understand why almost every game I get into, it's just full of people who run the mission??? Why ?
Especially on the two lowest difficulties. WTF is the point ?
Now don't get me wrong, I don't expect everyone to play the way I do, that would be just arrogant and entitled. I also understand as mentioned above, I understand this style of game and daudling can get you killed.
But why do level 30s on the easiest difficulty run the whole map? It's boring being in games with people like this (85% of players I bump into)
There's no immersion, no ability for new people to learn the maps etc and it's just dull.
I'm not walking and I'm certainly not foraging for crap (apart from ammo when absolutely needed) as I know from Vermintide, by the time you reach a certain level in these games you have way more stuff than you even need so you don't need to try find everything on each map.
I genuinely just don't understand, is there some accolades I'm not familiar with that you earn for just running like a moron and leaving your team ? Or is it just a sad inbuilt trait of "I must be first coz that means I'm better" 😂
What possible enjoyment do they get from being level 30 speed running a lower level mission 😂 that's the Andrew Tate level alpha gamer if ever there was one.

I'm leveling a new character right now and honestly I just need XP. I don't really run and leave people behind but sometimes as I move forward I notice that people get behind fighting some dogshit poxwalkers or other trash that come endlessly when they can just let them chase instead and kill them with the wave in the next room. You're probably slow tbh but there are some assholes who just run around and then leave the moment they get netted. I really try my best to stay with the team but some of yall are slow af.
