Not OC
I know not your oc. Why wasn’t the game set to friends only, then?
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!
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…
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 think if you throw an SOS beacon it’ll let nonfriends join. The usual host I play with has a habit of accidentally putting in SOS when he meant to use Reinforce, happens a lot
