I wish there was an option to block chat from (dead) players.

The backseating (dead) people are just annoying, even more that they can tell the enemy stuff about your team in there rage.

[MechaBattler]

Report em? Take a screenshot send it to support. I dunno. People are jerks. They die first and then blame the team for not helping them. Pretty normal reaction in pug play.

Do you actually report people? Does that even work?

I would be fine if I could black them from my side.

EDIT: Found it, I'm stupid.

My "favorite" comment is "just die" lol

[Jay Leon Hart]

Note to self:
Stop assisting teammates who don't know how to press R, by highlighting damaged 'mechs and open components. Apparently, that is annoying.

The dead PUG players berating the team are annoying. I'm all for them having no comms when they're killed....they're DEAD.

When I die in PUGs, I STFU and watch.

You can block them on VOIP. Chat never bothered me anyway, as I keep my focus on the crosshair.

Mine are "I hear dead people!" or "I ain't afraid of no ghosts!".

there is a way to block them...turn off chat like i have

[Christophe Ivanov]

I can understand the annoying comments and see some here too sadly. But consider this...there are far more who can view the action and help provide another pair of eyes for help. I myself have been able to report viewing enemy when the mech I was viewing through didn't see it. Also offer some advice if I can. We maybe dead, but many of us care for the team win. consider that view.

Which is the best thing to do.

- relay remaining enemy's last location, loadout, health, and weak spots
- relay seismic blips, targeting info, UAVs

I'm far less likely to do backseat coaching, even if I think I know better.

And there are FAR more who die and choose to remain Commander and King while they slag on the players who are still alive and swinging.

If you're dead, your comms should be be dead right along with your smoking corpse.

I really don't need or want dead players telling me what to do.

[Amsro]

Meh, I like it when team mates that are dead and doing nothing give intel. Location, Damaged Torso/Leg.

Since there is nothing else for them to do.

People complain for the sake of it.

Hence this thread.

Lets be honest, you probably don't "need" or "want" alive players telling you what to do.... amirite?

[Alexander of Macedon]

What do you want dead people to do, leave the match? If you're dead you can still call target locations and open components, since you don't have anything to do but watch the map and targeting data.

Yeah, if someone's bitching in chat that's annoying, but by and large it's either justified ('cause brainless taters) or actually helpful tactical information. I love it when I'm one of the last alive and dead teammates are talking to me. I ask them about the situation if I'm not sure what's left or where they are.

[Kaeb Odellas]

It's useful to get info on what enemies are left, their loadouts and damage levels, and last known locations.
