Challenging seems to be the sweet spot for me where the game is still a lot of fun and not too stressful.

Although on one run last night I had a team of lower-leveled players doing a "destroy all eggs" mission and instead of destroying the eggs and leaving they hung around to fight like 4 bug breaches. We had like 6 Chargers running all over the place with Brood Commanders and some Stalkers.

We couldn't call in any eagles because everyone was so tightly grouped (I probably should have called in a strike, killed them all, and just reinforced them away from the shite show, but I hate killing teammates). No one had mics on either, but I should have turned mine on and been like, "Let's GTFO of here!" There's no point hanging out and fighting against bug breaches once the eggs are destroyed!

I finally just started running towards the Extraction Point and they eventually followed.

Just absolute chaos

ETA: Love that caro just posted about the same issue I had

True stuff here. I think it's so ingrained in some people to clear areas that they don't realize the better option is to clear enough to distract and then bail.

Also a hallmark of new players is running full bore into nests moments after you throw an airstrike beacon then getting obliterated. Or calling their own airstrikes right on top of your entire team.

Yeah there are a lot of noobs playing right now and it's going to take awhile for game knowledge to catch up with general play. If the goal is to win, people need to learn to play the objectives and stop getting hung up on killing everything. I find also that if you have a team get hung up on an endless pack, just start running towards the next objective and ping
