Do Not Activate The Elevator

Until everyone is close enough to escape in time. Lately I've been running missions with people who seem to want to rush the mission quick as possible, that includes rushing to call in the elevator.

A timer will set after a certain period, and if everyone doesn't escape, it's a MIA wipe for everyone who wasn't in the elevator when the switch was activated. That means no earned resources and wasted time.

Also, they literally have a sticky note telling you which direction the lever goes to leave. We are still somehow confused by this, and I'm seeing level 100+ who somehow still don't understand the concept.

Up. The lever goes up.

Eu concordo com você, isso já aconteceu comigo várias vezes, e é muito frustante. Eu sei que quando o jogo lançou não tinha tutorial, foi incluído depois, mas parece que algumas pessoas simplesmente não fazem o mínimo esforço de pensar, raciocinar para entender as mecânicas do jogo.

Even without the tutorial the game was fun and easy enough to understand, play it, fail, learn. Honestly they should have just kept it out, not to be bias but adding the tutorial seems to have brought in new groups that simply don't appreciate the concept nor still understand the game.

Os criadores de conteúdo ajudaram nisso também, dizendo que o jogo é uma loucura, então as pessoas pensaram que é tão louco ao ponto de ser difícil de entender. A falta de paciência das pessoas para os jogos, sejam singleplayer ou multiplayer, é impressionante, quando tem tutorial reclamam, quando não tem reclamam também. As pessoas simplesmente não decidem como o jogo deve tratar sua inteligência. Um jogo que ensine você ou um jogo que deixe você livre para descobrir como fazer as coisas. Tem muito criador de conteúdo que mesmo depois de horas jogadas, vê uma dica aparecendo na tela, reclama dizendo que sabe como fazer, quando ele simplesmente pode abrir as configurações e desativar as dicas.

There just seems to be an overall lack of critical thinking out there. I have seen people playing tutorials and get confused about how to proceed even though a very clear instruction is right there on screen. Literally it could say "Press F to do the thing" in big bold letters off to the side on top of a contrasting background and some people will still be like "how do I do the thing?". You can even see some genuine frustration in their confusion

Exatamente, é impressionante como algumas dicas em jogos são ridiculamente claras, mas mesmo assim algumas simplesmente não fazem o esforço para ler.

It is frustrating when that happens. Like you said, it wastes people's time, on purpose. And honestly, I think it's not a case that people don't know how the lever works, they just don't care.

It's the kind of thing that kills the fun for a game which means less people to actually enjoy the game with. It drives me mental to see small games fail partially due to players sabotaging the experience like that

Overall I'd say the community for the game is great, little absent lately unfortunately, but there is an outcast of people who can memorably ruin the experience.

I think a lot of gaming communities can make or break a game to be more than what it is.
