Every once in a while, I'll start a game with a couple friends and we'll pick up a random person. Then after a mission, another friend will be ready to join. I always feel bad kicking just the one random person, so I'll say "thanks for the game everyone, I've gotta go" then will just kick the one guy.
I realize this is ridiculous behavior coming from a grown-ass man.
I think it's adorable behaviour and more people should be as considerate as you!
Even better would be to close and create a new lobby with your friends. The random player then gets a message that the host left instead of them having been kicked.
Until the rando looks at the world map and realizes your game is still going with a different fourth player, and their heart breaks
Any time I'm hosting and need to make space for a friend to join, I quit the game. This way, the message that appears to the random person says that I quit and not that they were kicked. Then I re-launch the game and make everyone join my squad again. I don't like to make people feel bad about being kicked...
Lol I've considered that but I guess my niceness only goes so far. I'll try to save someone's feelings, but I draw the line at needing to reboot the game.
You said goodbye first, which is awesome!
I will let randoms know that a friend requested to join up and thank them for the dives and then wait about 10 seconds before booting them in case they were in a huy menu or something. Generally I get a thanks back and they leave before I'm ready to boot them. Even got a couple friends invites after!
Maybe the community will spoil in the future, but for now people are pretty chill with groups disbanding after dives for any reason.
I play a game where the culture is to disband and reform the party rather than kicking anyone, so you are not alone in this.
This happens to me too. But I usually thank people for the game and ask for volunteers to leave.
I think that’s a good idea. There’s no reason the guy needs to know that he got kicked.
