    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.

        Until the rando looks at the world map and realizes your game is still going with a different fourth player, and their heart breaks

        Even better would be to close and create a new lobby with your friends. The random player then gets a message that the host left instead of them having been kicked.

      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.
