People trolling Havocs by abusing the lock system

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion

Last night I tried to start a havoc. I initiated and waited for everyone to accept. Someone declined and left. And now, for some baffling reason, everyone who was in that group is now locked to my mission and I was forced to either wait until reset or eat an attempt.

Why does this even exist? What purpose does this lock system accomplish? AND WHAT IS YOUR GOD DAMN OBSESSION WITH LOCKS TO BEGIN WITH?! I thought after seeing how everyone hated locks on items you’d all put it all behind you.

And it gets even better! Say if you misclick the “START” with an empty slot, GUESS WHAT? Those empty slots must remain empty or you cant do the mission. If you add anyone to that slot, the game doesnt let you start the mission. I cant even begin to think what they were trying to do with this system.

Yeah I’ve definitely wasted a havoc attempt by accidentally clicking Start before :confused:

I think they just changed it so you have 60 seconds to back out without penalty tho

Yeah same. Was in the ready up screen and one person left. So it was like… I guess we do this with a bot or eat an attempt.

I keep error out in Havoc…but in normal missions it is fine. Bit confused :S ah well…guess I’ll leave it be.

I just had the similar thing too.
But we completed the match, then I closed the game to rest for about an hour, came back and couldn’t play Havoc because I was in “ongoing Deployment”, had to eat my attempt

Ye kinda weird for Havoc to be locked from public matchmaking. For once randoms are welcome in Havoc because best case scenario theyre Havoc sweats, worse case scenario, theyre a 4th bot that can be carried because of the trio premade. But lets never talk about carrying because there are many people whod gladly be carried even at Havoc 1.

The thing is you cant even do it with a bot. It registers everyone to a specific slot. If you started the queue with three people, you cant attempt it with less than more or 3 and it has to be the same people who were in the group when you initially queued.
