Not OC
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!
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.
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…
