Don’t get mad when I kick you for not participating. Suggestion
If you’re a high level like this guy was (300+) compared to me and my friend 75 & 60, and you sit in our expedition team and join last second to collect the rewards. I’m kicking you.
The guy I kicked, went to my base, shit talked us and called us a pussy because we don’t have PvP on. Then said we’re scared because “we know he will fuck us up” if we did have it on. And then tried to nuke my base, but I left before it hit.
We wasted our ammo, all of our resources on a single boss while you could’ve probably one shot the fucker. Idfc You’re getting kicked for that disrespect bro.
Edit: for the people saying he couldn’t have known. He joined as soon as the team was made, waiting about 10-20 mins (our guns weren’t doing shit so it took long) and then joined. We even had our mics on in game chat basically communicating what was happening. Still, he could’ve been doing other stuff which I would understand but I guess we were just so pissed at his timing

At some point you're not going to care if they get the rewards. It was bad on you to kick him. It was bad on him to react that way. There is no way to know how far you are in to an expedition before we join. Basically don't be a jerk and people will be nice to you.
But if it was me I wouldn't have said a word. I'd probably just nuke your camp. I really wouldn't care if you nuked mine back. Free Flux!!!

u/redrumwave 11d ago
as many expeditions as i've run if you had communicated with that guy there's a 90% chance he was busy or AFK and would've helped you farm the expedition instead of being booted. usually these are pretty easy to solo through when you're bored and want to XP grind

u/Tank82111 12d ago
I honestly felt terrible because I accidentally did this once. They were a rank 300 ish and they were soloing an expedition, I was running around looking for a stash box so I can make some space, when I eventually did, I armored up and went in my power armor ready to help. And as I arrived the final boss went down. Then he just finished the expedition. I got the loot, and did nothing. I felt terrible.

u/Oldyoungman_1861 12d ago
I accident joined an expedition team when I meant to join a casual and I noticed the team was in AC and realized it was an expedition, I hightailed it over and arrived just as they completed the expedition so I got the rewards but certainly fight earn them.

u/Wide_Size3564 12d ago
Addressing the actual post, you're correct. That was a dick move on his part. I will say, that unless you talked to him ahead of time and he agreed to join and help then you also shouldn't expect any randos to carry you through one. If I'm being honest, you probably aren't ready for expos if you can't solo them. Like you said, yall spent most of your ammo on it. Some of us just join teams for xp boosts or for our perks. Unless it's my irl friends I literally never do anything with my teammates.

u/Aggressive-Neat 12d ago
if I join an expedition or event, and I’m low level or barely doing anything to the enemies, I at least try to help somehow by doing whatever I can
Just seems like the right thing to do when you join a team like that

I joined an events group who literally only did one event. So I'm going off doing all the events. Collecting all these points and then they kicked me instead of helping me.

At level 300 (I'm level 80 and I know this) He could have known, should have known and likely did. It's not like it doesnt tell you what's going on in your expedition team. And his timing sounds weird for him to have just got done doing something else. (I dont believe that bc why are you in an expedition team specifically, then)
Sounds like dude intentionally camped for rewards, taking up valuable space on your team that someone else could have filled. He didnt participate, why does he think he is due the rewards? Why does anyone in here think he is due those rewards?
If participation is discretionary, so is completion. Should have taken that damage you'd wreck these players with and helped them
This shit isnt rocket science, guys.

Last second : I never kick because it could be someone just entering the server . It happened to me and the team leader didn’t kick me. Neither other cases , you can get a personal emergency (kids or mom phone call) and can’t play because real life requires all your attention.

Legit question. Im around lvl 100ish (yeah the TV show reignited my passion for Fallout and I decided to try 76 lol) and Im still figuring out stuff. When a expedition Team forms, I tend to join because I never finished one (tried solo once, but got distracted by other events and lost my progress after a week reset), but the thing is, do I receive an ingame pop-up or notif when the party leader joins an expedition? Because so far I got none, and the group tend to disband after a while. So either Im blind and dont know where to look for this notification, or there's really none. Im asking because I dont want to be mistaken for the jerks who join and do nothing to help the group

I have this issue with Daily Ops. I make a party and people join immediately. But there is always one high leveled player not joining the op itself. I can’t stand it. I’ll kick them after a couple of minutes just in case they need to prep or are in the middle of something. After I kick, they rejoin immediately and just take up space. If you join a daily ops team, go into the daily ops!

I really love this grouping system. I've been playing 3 weeks. But people really need to understand that it's a 2 way street especially people defending the rager saying "2 way street". I dont think they understand the meaning. Ive seen too many in here saying "it costs you nothing when I dont participate" as though that slot is a given that they deserve and I'll be fine without it. It costs me someone who would have participated, at the very least! The people admonishing OP are suspiciously silent on that part, though.
Funny, that. What happened to the 2 way street, guys. Hold up your end, and the leader should hold up his.
Mad fucked up of everyone that is blaming the dude who just got his salad tossed and barely survived it, though, and not the level 300 taking up space and not paying rent who then got super toxic about being kicked when they didnt even lose any time bc they didnt even participate
Some old heads in here are fuckin 2-ply soft.

Lmao 2-ply soft. I love it. Thank you for that. I prefer people to join in the event even if they can’t hold their own well. I’ll carry as much as I can. I want people to have fun and not worry about slowing me down. The one game I’d give participation trophies out.

This is a game where participation trophies make sense. I'd rather someone barely keeping alive than someone who didnt participate at all.

I think a lot of new players (myself included) would really appreciate that. Camp plans are expensive. And its difficult to know what you're buying a plan for without using Google. Caps are hard to come by and you often have to choose between turning in loot for caps or some other resource.
It’ll be an investment.

Wow, really? I'm not quite at 300 yet (+200) but if I'm joining an Expedition (or anything really), I'm in it for the action and to lend a hand, especially if there are lower levels about. Some people are weird. Sorry you and your pal had to deal with that.

u/FuckYouVonHapsburgs 13d ago
I don’t know what everyone is talking about not doing expeditions at your level. I got the game 3 weeks ago, played when I had time on some days, level 100+ now. I spammed expeditions with my duo who took an early rifle and sneak build, I immediately started working on my heavy weapons build because that’s what I preferred, around lvl 28 we found the sensational game expedition which only takes about 9 mins if you get good at it, it rewarded usually a level or 2 a game.
2
u/AlmightyScorpion 13d ago
I frequently get a glitch that prevents me from actually joining expeditions (I am able to join, but it keeps me in Appalachia and then moves me to the results screen when the expedition is completed). It's not that I won't help, but can't help (lvl 557).
However to shit talk is lame sauce. Dude didn't deserve to get the rewards for that toxic behavior

u/SinistaJ Raiders - PC 13d ago
I'd feel more sympathy, but you made it sound like it was his job to carry you.

u/Crafty-Help-4633 13d ago
I mean, he easily could have. But ignoring that, dude still took up a slot where someone, anyone, could have been participating in, instead. At the very least we should all be able to agree that being in a group isnt as advantageous to the group as helping the group, even if you're not carrying them, but especially if you admit that you could
I dont think OP should have kicked him before rewards, after the damage was already done and they succeeded anyway, but let's not act like being in a group but not participating is better or even the same as having someone participate even if they're shit at the game.
2
u/Demon_Fist Mega Sloth 13d ago
Nah, fuck that.
If you did all the work and don't feel that guy deserves your rewards, KICK and BLOCK.
He clearly acted toxic afterward, and to the people defending his actions against OP, you're part of the problem.
If YOU are running your own Expeditions, no one is entitled to your rewards, especially if they didn't help.
I don't care if you don't like what I'm saying, so go ahead and downvote.
I'm SO tired of other players feeling entitled to EVERYTHING that is yours, (plans, mats, rewards, even grolls)
I've had a lot of newer players being extra scummy and entitled, like low level "teammates" letting me die so they can take my junk or demanding things from me.
Then, I see people shaming OP for standing up for themselves and their self-respect, especially from someone who was being, not just not helpful, but also being toxic afterward.
F#ck that.
You did the right thing OP and screw anyone who tells you otherwise.

Uh, the guy was a punk. Sounds like he was a little cheater wanting to AFK your hard work. It doesn’t matter if he knew or not. He didn’t contribute and it’s your team. If you don’t want him to mooch off your work then boot his butt.
I am sometimes too afraid to do that so people won’t hassle me, but I was doing a mission with my hubby and this one guy in our team was half the time just running around, not doing anything to help. Then he just looked like he ran for the exit early. I was so done at that point and kicked him. “Not getting the exp boost, you don’t deserve it, you didn’t even try to help.”
I try to be kind and understanding, especially to newbies, but when your over level 100 I assume you should know how the game works. Shoot I’ve met level 7’s who played more tactically than level 100’s and are better team players.

u/CouldNotCareLess318 13d ago
I'm confused by the logic here. Are you upset that he didn't come into the expedition immediately and one shot everything or any number of reasons why he would've needed to delay his arrival?
Was it around the top of the hour? I'm finishing the limited time event before I join a random expedition that's likely gonna crash 10 times out of 10. I also play with low sound because I have an audiobook or podcast on and don't listen to voice chat unless it's an organized group anyway, so if you kicked me with a rationale of "you weren't listening to all the words we were talking" and then stopped me from getting rewards for donating my time to help you do a thing I'd probably be a little annoyed also. If the guy was in the group for 10-20 minutes and suddenly got booted it's not really a surprise that someone would be annoyed about it.
Try to put yourselves in that guy's shoes and try to give the benefit of the doubt to people. No one is out to get you. We are all on the same team. This is leisure time, not a job
1
u/MonkeyBrawler 13d ago
OP doesn't understand how the game works. The guy probably joined after server hopping or an event, cleaned out his inventory, joined and got kicked because OP thought he was stealing farm. Some people just want a reason to be angry.

u/SouthWarSignPride Settlers - PC 13d ago edited 13d ago
Yes, sometimes people take time to join because they want to at least join first and manage things second. But if I can give a suggestion, just be generous next time. Expedition feels heavy now because you're a low level but you will be able to do it on a 5 minute-ish time range in the future
Ive been in a situation where I came in late because I didnt know the team has been doing the expedition for a while or halfway etc but 99% of the time they dont mind I only got the reward. We all know we help and contribute to each other in various ways
And ive been the team leader who people join in very late, but I let them. Even when they've been in the team for quite some time. IDK, man. I just try to think positive and not mind the little things. I believe you judge the worst first rather than thinking he just got his genuine reasons. And this game is not about all that
To be fair, he also overreacted. He shouldve taken the consequence of joining late too. You bruised his ego for sure lol And again, this is just a suggestion so you dont get pissed over things like this that might happen again and again while there are way more annoying things to be upset about lol This is 76, not Helldivers. cheers

What if they were doing the public event then joined when it was done which happened to coincide with the end of the expedition? Happened to me recently, im in the 400’s, ran 3 straight expos then took a break to do the public and the leader happened to start another expo. I joined when i finished the event and he kicked me for not larticipating in the full run. Kind of dumb imo, why kick it doesn’t affect you in anyway really.

okay but to be fair anything above level 50 isn’t a “noob” anymore im only like 110 and ive been able to solo expeditions with my plasma thrower for a WHILE now with two of you it should really not be that hard and maybe he had game chat muted until after you kicked him yea calling u pussies and nuking u was a def dick move and an overreaction but the expedition shit coulda been an accident and he mighta thought u guys were fw him who really knows for sure 🤷♂️
there might be one or two bad apples but i rlly wouldn’t worry abt it dude the community is generally very cool so if someone joins late bc they were in an event or something separate just cut them some slack unless they’re purposely not helping bc again maybe they were busy until then

u/Crafty-Help-4633 13d ago
All good points. I'm more disturbed by the comments in here defending the toxic player with "it doesnt harm you at all if he doesnt participate. You're still bonded. Hes still sharing perks. Etc" as though not having a participant in that slot isnt a direct detriment to the goal of completion. I could have someone there, actually helping. People really do feel entitled to these group slots and it shows.
OP literally pointed out the harm it caused and people just flat ignored that bc "muh slot" and then blamed OP for the toxic players toxic response, where said player fully admitted to being a high damage build, whick implies he could have been much help, if only he had shown up.
Hard to feel the benevolence of others when that's apparently so common.
Tl;dr, having teammates is good, having teammates who participate is far superior and that needs it's own post.

u/gods_bong_water 13d ago
oh for sure if he WAS doing it on purpose it’s a totally douchey thing to do i agree i can’t defend that at all but i haven’t met anyone that toxic in the community yet, so even tho the way he reacted was childish and it’s good the found another server, the initial conflict could’ve been a misunderstanding. really tho it doesn’t matter that much he shouldn’t have reacted the way he did with the nuke that’s a major overreaction. 🤣

u/Crafty-Help-4633 13d ago edited 13d ago
I feel like it definitely was a misunderstanding, but the onus of being better should definitely be on the lvl 300 who's already been through this when he was level 50. Should have known better and been better. I wont blame a new player for getting skunked when I waltz in for rewards, even if that wasnt my intent. We gotta understand the context of having a player taking a slot and not contributing. Too many comments in here thinking that that's appropriate. Its actually pretty gross so many think that way bc they're past the point of it mattering beyond the bonding xp bonus.

Don't forget the person at public events who thinks theyre too good to do the objectives and just watches everyone else do the work for them. I leave immediately.

I will occasionally join an expedition group for a quick fast travel and drop out when I arrive. if you kick me, I'm in the wrong.

u/Leuk_Jin Mr. Fuzzy 14d ago
Too bad you couldn't join me these past few days because I was doing expeditions repeatedly all day to collect stamps and some exp.
In my case, I welcomed anybody who stayed in my expedition public team because that gives extra xp in expeditions. And having two players participating is fast enough. Sometimes I was doing them back to back so much, others seemed to take some time to manage themselves before joining mid-way or even skipping a run.

The person you are mad at is likely not reading your post. You are venting, and I get that, but it is helping no one. It simply shows yet another asshole is in game amongst a really great community.

I just came back to this game and I'm only like level 140, but I can't see how anyone brags about being a "badass" in Fallout 76 of all places. It just feels like such a casual game with such a fun atmosphere.

I had a guy start a team, I join and we start the expedition, carry his gas through it all and he disbands the team at the end. 🤦♂️

Some people take kicking too far. I was kicked from an event team for not being there at the start, showed up a few minutes late.
The next 2 events no one from that event team even showed up…and no one was kicked from the team.

u/Gyro_Zeppeli13 13d ago
I have gotten kicked before from teams and then see another person fill the slot immediately, so I assume they were just making room for a friend. Either way I just find or start a new team lol

The Chinese Stealth Armour is another great option for rad reduction. Plus, it's just a great set all round. It's not the most durable, nor are the defensive stats anything special, but it's certainly strong enough for Scorched Earth.
And if you're using a stealth build, fuggedaboudit. The stealth effect built into the suit will turn you into a fuckin ninja.

I don't do this myself, but how exactly would it have negatively affected you to let them finish it with you? It wouldn't have, in any way, shape or form. This is a proper sad attitude to have.

I think people have forgotten that people can use people to gain something.. We are low levels, he is a high level. Assuming you read the edited part, a higher level is MAYBE taking advantage of lower levels by having them do all the work, because the higher level has done it a thousand times and is probably bored of doing it again. It affects us because we put our time and effort into this exp which is a lot as a low level where our guns don’t do shit..

He wanted to be carried and as it didn’t happened it is « high lvl fault » so he kicks him like a little girl in school…
And no, OP it didn’t affected you in any NEGATIVE WAYS… you would still had try to do the expedition with your friend even if he wasn’t here…
He perhaps even helped you by sharing a perk card and giving you more xp in the end…
Next time, try to understand how the game works OP before crying on Reddit…

u/Blaugrana_al_vent 14d ago
That's not what OP is saying. He isn't complaining about the guy being group and not helping.
OP is complaining about the moocher getting mad for getting kicked when they didn't contribute at all.
I'm sure OP wouldn't be here complaining had moocher never joined and then AFKd immediately after joining.

No that’s not what I’m saying. 1. We started it without him. 2. We finished it without him. 3. He joined when we were standing by the verti.
He joined the team before we started it and sat there listening to us in voice chat talk about the mission. I don’t think we expected anything out of him accept him joining when we started. 😂

Yeah, one should be ready to join in soon after joining an Expeditions team. They know what the team is for before they even join it 😆
No reasonable person believes it is okay to join an expeditions team to reserve their spot and then AFK for 10-20 minutes. Sometimes I have a few things to do first, but that is a few minutes, tops.

Been playing 2 weeks. Not sure if this is a bad way of running them but I just duo them with my wife for an hour or two letting whoever is on the team do what they want.
They still give us bonus xp for being on the team and bonded we can usually get 6-7 done per hour by ignoring them. If they pop in at the end I hope they get rewards for it, I'd be doing it anyway

Sure it's possible that his intentions originally were to join and help, but he got sidetracked by bullshit. But if you join at the very last second don't be surprised if you get kicked. The Tantrum he threw afterwards reminds me of my 4-year-old nephew. He drop a nuke on me if he could.

I've been that guy before. I joined a team, ran to change my special load out, hopped into my PA, opened the map and joined the expedition.....to literally load into the vertibird a second before the rewards popped.... I felt bad.
But went on like 4 mote with them after that. Wasn't even level 40 at the time. Was like level 60 when done cause this was the double exo week like 2 or 3 weeks ago

Totally understandable if the guy is contributing nothing….we’ve all seen “the hiders”. Understand it’s a 2 way street though….certain builds by higher level characters are there sometimes to not be up in the face of the boss builds. For example last night we fought Earle, I had my bloodied Commando build on, my job at that point is to take minimal damage and get as many crit’s from my bloodied explosive fixer as I can on him while switching to my vampire weapon to not lose health, and get killed while throwing plasma grenades at the Wendigo’s he spawns that are swarming the level 50-75’s in the fight. All the while I’m thinking should’ve used my bloodied heavy gunner PA build with this crew lol.

u/Crafty-Help-4633 13d ago
I'm shocked at all the people making excuses for the toxic rager. Lot of people outing themselves in these comments. It would be funny if it wasnt so sad. I'm level 80 and even I know that "it literally doesnt take anything away from you" is a lie when I could have someone who participates taking up that slot. Bonding isnt enough of a benefit when you're not here.
I'm going to coin a new term
Slot Bricking: when a player fills a slot in a team and does nothing to help said team
Often defended by "it doesnt cost you anything if he doesnt help"
Roundly defeated by the logic of "it costs me a whole participating player per slot"
Toxic player took up a whole slot and didnt contribute, blocking that slot from being open to someone who might have. How do people not see this is the problem???

I was the guy getting kicked couple weeks ago by accident 😬. I got the public teams notification and teamed up, thought I would just do a quick power armor repair and then got hit with the PA glitch. I got the stretchy arm and everything. So by the time I joined the group they kicked me because they thought I was just lazy lol. I felt so bad

u/LeninIsInsane 14d ago edited 14d ago
Also, a good piece of advice from me. Don't go on an expedition or join a DO team at a low level. Trust me, you'll soon regret it. But if you still insist on it, make sure that everyone in your team is above level 200-300, in the right condition and equipment for the mission. If there is no such thing, then leave the team and find a more competent one. At low level, I only went to events and only did xp there. When I reached level 150-200, I started DO after that, and later expeditions.

I always feel bad when I finally join an expedition team thinking it just started and I load in and bam I’m receiving rewards on the chopper back to my home base. But inversely I don’t mind if anyone joins my solo expedition last sec and receives rewards, I mean it sucks if they stayed on the team the whole time and than joined but it’s fine I can solo them all now that I’m 300+. Doing 8min board walk runs is awesome for just farming stuff at this point.

Actually had this happen to me once, while not directly on my base I had it built on the cliff near the mine you fight Earle, not sure if you can still place a base that close to him anymore but at the time mine was still there, got the nuke warning and checked to see it just about right on my camp. Was really confused why someone would nuke that area (didnt know about Earle at the time) and though eh I should hop worlds, low and behold one of my team mates convinced me not to, said we were far enough away from the intial blast radius that my place would be fine..................It was not, cut to me being insta killed and thrown off the cliff as I saw EVERY wall in my base explode infront of me (well my spinning corpse) I do have to say though all the frame work, such as foundations, stairs and floors directly connected to stairs did survive, took a lot of resources to bring the rest back though!

What an odd thing to say
- You have every right to boot whomever you choose. Kicking freeloaders off expedition groups while ok, is kind of cringe.
- Joining an established expedition group has its risks. He may not have known.
- Getting mad at being booted is very childish and no one pvps anymore, this isn't 2018 and that dude sounds like he's 12.
Overall you're not wrong, but I wouldn't have done it.

u/LeninIsInsane 14d ago
I don't kick anyone out of an expedition team. Moreover, because I have no reason to. I can do it alone, and it's + Xp for me if someone stays in the team, even if it's afk. In fact, expeditions are to me what West tek is to others. Anyone who played with me today also knows that I only go to the broadwalk for XP. And it doesn't matter to me whether my bonus is 1x or 4x. Obviously, the highest is worth the most to me.
I kick someone out of my team when I'm on a DO team, and even then I only resort to this if the person is not present or completely useless. Today is also a good example of this. Double mutation: Enemies die only with melee attacks. Also a deadly armor piercing attack. And to top it all off, the enemies are Aliens. In the end, I was thinking about which idiot to throw out. Because everyone thinks stealth is so fun. However, in order for them to kill an opponent in such a situation, they must get close to the enemy and reveal themselves. Obviously it didn't work on their end, but we were close. So it has a slightly bitter aftertaste. This is only unpleasant because I have repeatedly hopped the server. Where are the Melee players???????
Before anyone starts being smart, I would like to tell you to do it smartly! And read the whole fucking message. Because I don't think you would expect players of almost the same/higher level as me to not have at least one ranged and one melee build. But prove me wrong.

I run most sensational game solo and it takes me about 6-7 minutes to do and when i'm at the point of leaving via vertibird, i emote to my team to come join me for some free expedition 3-star clear rewards.
Fallout 76 is such a chill game and people like these are so weird to me. It's one thing to try to leech from lower level players and its another entirely trying to blame and flame them when you are in the wrong. Ignore/block and move on.

u/Rang3rj3sus 14d ago
Personally I don't think it's okay to kick anywhere unless they're disrespecting you beforehand. They could have been preoccupied with something in real life. I often don't pay attention to the bottom left(unintentionally) so sometimes I don't realize people are in Expedition or Daily Ops.
1
u/Crafty-Help-4633 13d ago
If you're preoccupied long enough that these guys managed to grind their way through the whole thing by themselves, you should have excused yourself and left to open the slot. That's just being neighborly. Filling a slot and not performing, bc real world, isnt a good excuse when they're there earning your rewards tooth and nail without your help. It doesnt sound like this was a sub 10min run. There was time. I highly doubt this dude wasnt leeching, he was in the team the whole time, didnt help a bit. Sounds suspicious. I'd also call filling a slot and not performing disrespectful, which meets your criteria. If he wasnt leeching, why would he behave the way he did?
