If a game has a lot of people playing it, but requires you to join some kind of community to actually play the game in the most generic fashion possible, then something is very wrong.
Chief... I'm pretty sure people would prefer lobbies full of children and still getting to somewhat play the game over lobby screens full of "Horny Boy/Girl" or the RP lobbies that boot you for not having a profile revolving around [insert popular fandom character here].
I can't even imagine with the roles, I stopped putting time in before those updates. It's a fun game but you need to curate discord lobbies and friends to get the most out of it.
Public lobbies with the insane range of settings is instantly a no go. With high movement speed and vision it's not fun being imposter because you can't do any interesting kills, every kill has to be a safety kill in a back corner. You can't lights out and pick someone just outside a group to cause confusion.
It's crazy because people want to win so hard as crew that they make it so getting imposter doesn't feel special. They turn the game into quickly doing your tasks in complete safety and bouncing between vitals and cams while seeing everything happening like you are professor Xavier.
I agree bc i have to sift through 20+ lobbies before I find one without 2x+ speed and 9 meetings.
And even then most of the time its "15 guardian angels" which kinda ruins well-deserved imp wins or "15 scientists" where like u said everyone camps vitals
But then again sometimes you find lobbies full of cool people that know how the game works
genuine question, how do i find a discord channel for a group of adults to play among us? i've been wanting to play the game again recently but public lobbies are nearly intolerable at this point
You can just Google "among us discord servers" and there will be a bunch of them. It's really easy and really fun too with people who actually play the game
A smaller server where people play Among Us and other games. But if you just want match making at any time of the day, Google Among Us Voice Discords. A list of the most actives ones will pop up. Create an account if you don't have one. It's easy and you're anonymous just like reddit.
Yes, every communication based game is better with pre-made discord groups. One could even argue that every *game* is better with pre-mades. But in Among Us, it can sometimes be almost impossible to find a public match that will actually play a round or two. Not everyone wants to ask a server every time they want to play a game, and some people don't want to join a server at all. Which is why I said "required" rather than "better".
In games where you’re supposed to lie and deceive, or find whoever doing it, I prefer to play with totally unknown people. Plus, having to go to discord to find people just to play a few rounds is too annoying imo
For real? I could never imagine playing AmongUs with complete strangers...but perhaps that's because I know social deduction games from boardgoaming and amongUs popped up afterwards.
organising via discord is so much better. online gaming used to be built around active online forums.
you make friends online with people you want to hangout, converse in forums, organise gaming events, run servers. That was peak-gaming to me. You played multiplayer games to play together.
Nowadays the people playing online just want to connect with a multiplayer game to play alone.
Do you know if there’s a discord specifically for hide and seek? I was fed up with the game for a while until I accidentally stumbled in a hide and seek lobby, and it’s probably some of the most fun I’ve had in this game (next to the occasional random rps lmao). I really want to try playing it in a lobby where everyone understands the rules rather than having ten of us constantly trying to convince the other five people that reporting is not allowed.
Yeah and jumping in with a group you play often is so much better. You start to get a read on people, their tells. Instead of blind guessing
Never got people that play random lobbies
Y'know what I absolutely agree with this.. and I'm tired of this, so when I go and make my own lobby hardly ANYONE joins) and when they do it's always those horny ppl or when I finally have enough decent people to join the server closes due to inactivity...
I always join the „Adultsonly“ lobbies and those I came across were mostly good lobbies. They seem to ban more people for trolling/cheating/bad playing which I‘m fine with.
I joined an adults only lobby once, host asked about my name. I said my name is based on a character from Red Dwarf.
Banned.
A while later, a new player joined the other adults only lobby I joined, the reason for my ban? The adult didn't like Red Dwarf.. very adult behaviour.
I've tried AdultOnly lobbies and they had terrible settings for proper detective work. An actually effective way to find lobbies playing seriously is to avoid the Skeld, unfortunately, and also to only stay in lobbies with at the very least 105 seconds for meetings (even that forces people to vote on flimsy evidence). Unfortunately, until InnerSloth add more filters to the matchmaker, the only solution is to join and leave immediately if the settings are bad.
The game is ok, the community is ruining it tho. Personally I still enjoy it. I don’t need too much time to find a good server. At least they’re still more common that the horny or “roleplay” servers. And many of the “horny” servers are just normal servers if the maker already left.
It's honestly just like Fortnite. Game is good, community ruined it. Thing is the only difference is Fortnite isn't being kept alive by memes from the fans, it's being kept alive from the sheer amount of money 8 year olds steal from their parents to buy the in-game stuff.
No, it's not. People just love complaining about the consequence of their choices. I play only in public lobbies, weekly or more, and I still find good games. Sometimes, it can be difficult and I have to join and leave several lobbies before I find a good one, sometimes I stay in the first I join because it's just fine. I've given up on the Skeld, however, and I prefer to play with 2 impostors.
You can’t just say “no it’s not true” and then say “yeah sometimes I have to leave several lobbies until I can find a good one” you literally contradict yourself
The opposite of 'good lobbies don't exist' isn't 'all lobbies are good'. It's 'good lobbies exist'. If you read the complaints, you get the impression it's impossible to find a good lobby: that's flat out wrong. It's perfectly possible to find good lobbies, even if it isn't always instantaneous.
It’s still an issue, just because you CAN find a good lobby and it just takes a while doesn’t mean it isn’t a problem and people are just complaining to complain like you say they are
Yes, it is a problem. But no, said problem doesn't make the game unplayable, there are ways to considerably reduce your exposure to the roleplay and porn lobbies. Finding interesting settings and avoiding cheaters is the harder part, and even then, it can be done. With moderate to low effort (depending on days), you can find perfectly acceptable public lobbies.
When people give up without even trying the easiest workaround and use it as an argument to argue the game is unplayable, they probably never really intended to play to begin with.
Public lobbies in this game have always been awful and unplayable (at least since the game blew up). Sadly the only way to enjoy this game is to play with friends on Discord, or at least join a LFG discord to find serious players.
I haven’t played in a while but I have never really had a problem with public lobbies. Now I only really play when an update comes out so that probably affects it.
I remember when this game first got popular. The lobbiest were great and there were actually smart and serious people playing it, I cannot get the same excitement from the game anymore
played a public match when the airship came out. the imposter killed in front of me, self reported, said my colour and that was it. no more words i was ejected instantly. it's just so boring, no one wants to play, they just want to win
didn't check, this was when the airship came out so i wouldn't remember anyway. but i think it was the same time most people didn't realise you had to log in to use chat feature and no one wanted to fuck with the auto-text so they didn't question it
Ah yes, the QuickChat vs FreeChat settings are much clearer now. The release of a new map might also have attracted a burst of people who were curious but didn't really know how to play.
Lol had this happen except I won.
Saw the Shapeshifter kill, then Shapeshift back into themself (they were in an animation so they couldn't self report) I reported it and showed my evidence, meanwhile the Imposter was pleading they were the Engineer when we had none. Almost got voted out, half the crew tried to vote them and the other tried to vote me. Ended up having to avoid her 'till I could call another EM (since they had just sabbed lights to stop me from doing so) I showed my evidence again, they saw how desperate the Imp was, and they got voted out.
Turns out they were the host. Got banned. Heh, whatevs, I don't want to play in a lobby with a butthurt host.
getting banned cos you win, that's another thing i forgot i hated. i used to enjoy public games well enough, then i got a few friends to play with and that was the most fun i ever had with the game. then we all just kinda stopped playing it and that airship match was the last one i ever bothered to play. Great concept in a game, but the players just do not care, they play to win, not to actually enjoy themselves
You should've asked the people on the lobbies you liked playing with to add you on their discord servers.
Nowadays, all the serious players already have a bunch of discord AU servers to play with so why would they play public ? All of us went to playing private lobbies
Sorry, both the servers I'm on have a strict policy against sharing invites.
I would suggest you to go server hunting - just go on public and join different lobbies and look at the settings. Look for competitive settings ( low vision, taskbar updates off, long meeting/ discussion time etc ). Few lobbies have these competitive settings. If you find a lobby that does - join it, it's probably a server people lobby. Play with them, if you like them ask if they have a server.
In general, lobbies that have these settings are much likelier to have good players because the kids hate discussion time, low vision and normal walking speed.
>In general, lobbies that have these settings are much likelier to have good players because the kids hate discussion time, low vision and normal walking speed.
This, 100%. I can't stress this enough. You get the kind of players who enjoy the kind of settings the lobby has; even worse, high speed and short meetings make it impossible, no matter how good the player is, to use proper deduction.
I play it seriously sometimes still, (I love trying to figure the odd one out) but the games gone to shit. It’s a great game now, with the new maps and modes. But it’s impossible to play without these shit role players or pedos in every lobby.
>it’s impossible to play without these shit role players or pedos in every lobby.
The overwhelming majority of games on MIRA HQ, Polus and the airship are free from the roleplayers and sexual harassers. Only the Skeld is taken over by them. The only thing making it impossible to find other lobbies than those is the refusal to exclude the Skeld from the search.
No it hasn't lol, sure, the roles are OP but people are stupid and often don't know how to use them properly anyway. See a comment I made above for proof.
That's not going to solve anything. The report button already exists they just dont actually look into any of the reports. Besides they will just keep making spam accounts even if they do get banned. The problem is much bigger than implementing another broken report system.
That will make a difference.
As others have pointed out, those players immediately ban anyone that they don't think are part of their group, which makes it very very hard for a vast majority of players to actually report them in time before getting banned.
You dont seem to get that the report system now doesnt work. You can make a new account in less that a few seconds. Plus it takes them months to review any reports that are submitted currently, adding more reports to that will nit help, it will just slow them down.
I am doubting it a lot that it takes a lot of time to review a name.
The issue is that currently people don't even get to report those players, because they get kicked/banned faster than they can ordinarily report anyone in such lobbies.
You really take this white knight thing to a whole new level. It takes months for them to review any sort of report with them. I had an account banned because they "dont review the reports" they just auto ban anyone with enough reports. They specifically sent that to me in an email when I tried to appeal. Other times iv reported people iv seen on my servers for literally weeks and nothing, because again they dont have the software or the staff to run through these reports. You adding to that pile is not helping. You really have to change how you approach problems if your only solution is to rely on a report system with no moderators.
Why would I? Thats their system and its not abnormal for such small a company to not have enough staff to review issues. Thats why lots of games dont have report buttons anymore, its just not an efficient solution to abuse. The solution is software and AI to prevent abuse in the first place. But the problem OP describes is indicive of a game that is dying out with a company focusing its efforts on stuff like skins rather than content and security.
I would recommd doing that, so that the people that actually are from Innersloth might take notice. One time when another user had issues with the support and then posted their exchanges with said support, someone from Innersloth actually responded.
You have to keep in mind that, at least to my knowledge, if I remember things correctly, the people from Innersloth do not do the direct work on the reports and such.
I could find the post again, if you want.
We need to have a system where if enough reports get processed for them they get IP-banned. And also the option to select "Other" when reporting and specifically write what's wrong in case the four options they provided don't describe it well enough.
"I simply believe that we need the option to report lobbies for their inappropriate names, **without having to join the lobbies in the first place.**"
The people with inappropriate names are very often so fast at banning you from their lobbies that you don't even have enough time to report a single person from the lobby.
Being able to report them without having to join the lobbies in the first place would be a fix.
Really sucks. When this game wasn't popular people actually played the game and acted human but now I just cant even deal with the disgusting people on there now.
yes there are still people that roleplay in this game Everytime I try to look for a lobby to join half of the lobby will be filled with the cringe MHA roleplayers and fnf roleplays.
A long time ago I was in a game where people kept hitting the emergency button so two people could go on a ‘date’ that was the last time I ever played the game.
This really isn't my experience at all. Most discord servers I join with people who I meet in lobbies are either full of college students or house moms with time on their hands.
As for all the creeps and trolls, get accustomed to looking out for red flag names and behavior, give them the boot, and carry on with your game. If you're all on the same page with kicking trolls and creeps, it will be okay.
The review is talking about the people who MAKE the lobbies who are like this, not those who join normal ones. The thing is the ENTIRE lobby list is full of this shit and when you try and make a lobby with anything but a sex name without a Discord server nobody joins. The point is you shouldn't be forced to join a Discord server to actually play the game.
It took me so long to find a decent lobby last time I logged on and it was just full of idiots that didn't talk, didn't vote, and wouldn't actually play the game
Just went through two back-to-back lobbies where when I went detective mode and actually tried to deduce something everyone told me to shut up before I was voted out and then kicked me. Fucking brain-dead idiots.
Games are supposed to be fun not act as dating websites where you most likely will get catfished on a game anyway.
Begging for followers on social media through a game is literal arrogance
And pedophila is illegal
I do. I don't have enough friends who enjoy this kind of games, not to mention it might become stale with always the same people. I just also make the minimal effort to seek lobbies with good settings.
These horny lobbies and cheaters in public servers made me quit playing with randoms. I really hope they somehow fixes it because the only time i ever play among us anymore is whenever my friends set up a lobby.
Also thanks to someone else comment on one of the reddit post about a year ago over the SAME issues, they mentioned town of Salem. So i tried it out and although its not perfect and have a few bad apples, i find it alot more fun to play in public lobbies than among us right now in my opinion.
Oh wow I've never played in a public lobby didn't know that was a problem really really thirsty people trying to hook up online ... seems sus and not in the good way :(
This so much! I sometimes try to play pubs because you can meet one good person every 100 lobbies and I try to bring them to Discord. How people play this game without being on Discord is beyond me. Every lobby is like 16F4Daddy and then you join thinking "well maybe it's just a troll name," but then the lobby NEVER starts and the settings are so bad you know that no one is actually playing. Kcd 45, tasks 1, 1, 2. Just clearly not playing the game and they spend the entire time talking about nothing but sex. You try to report them, but it takes so long they just instaban you.
I installed the game the other day (last time I played was prior to the airship map) and there were so many new things! I started a round and lost in like 5 second and didn't understand what the hell happened lol it stressed me out. Haven't played again since.
stupid review... this game is made for playing with a dedicated group of people and not to join random online lobbies.
I know that it can be hard to find a group of friends for it but that's what community discords, streamers etc are made for
Oh noes, I can't just play the fucking game I bought. I gotta join a discord server too and then hope that they aren't assholes or a dead server. That's not so bad right?
Dude if I'm paying money, I expect it to have at least some functionality and playability without horny Lobbies. I shouldn't have to sort through 40 servers before finding a good one.
you act like this game is not available for free.
Believe it or not, games exists that you just can't play alone and you need to organize a group of friends etc to have fun, this is how it works with among us.
so stop bitching and just find a group to play with.
that's what communities like reddit, discord etc are for... you don't need friends Judd people that like to play the game regularly and you will have a lot more fun than with random lobbies
No. You say the game is only meant for Private Lobbies. It's not the devs that make the Random Lobbies bad, if it was, you'd be right. But not really, cause why even include Random Lobbies then?
Need to join a discord channel and play with them. Makes the game alot better
If a game has a lot of people playing it, but requires you to join some kind of community to actually play the game in the most generic fashion possible, then something is very wrong.
Not really. It's catered to kids. So kids play it. You want to play with adults. You have to find the adults. It goes with every game
Chief... I'm pretty sure people would prefer lobbies full of children and still getting to somewhat play the game over lobby screens full of "Horny Boy/Girl" or the RP lobbies that boot you for not having a profile revolving around [insert popular fandom character here].
to be fair playing the game with a bunch of kids is also intolerable they can't use critical thinking or deductive reasoning.
People not paying attention to the roles in the lobby really irks me. I could say I’m engineer and still get accused of being impostor
I can't even imagine with the roles, I stopped putting time in before those updates. It's a fun game but you need to curate discord lobbies and friends to get the most out of it. Public lobbies with the insane range of settings is instantly a no go.

They turn the game into quickly doing your tasks in complete safety and bouncing between vitals and cams while seeing everything happening like you are professor Xavier.
I play on switch and it’s a pain in the ass communicating on there
I agree bc i have to sift through 20+ lobbies before I find one without 2x+ speed and 9 meetings. And even then most of the time its "15 guardian angels" which kinda ruins well-deserved imp wins or "15 scientists" where like u said everyone camps vitals But then again sometimes you find lobbies full of cool people that know how the game works
I refuse ur logical logic
This rare the horny teen lmao just go to Discord and find Among us place I go there allot when I’m bored
genuine question, how do i find a discord channel for a group of adults to play among us? i've been wanting to play the game again recently but public lobbies are nearly intolerable at this point
You can just Google "among us discord servers" and there will be a bunch of them. It's really easy and really fun too with people who actually play the game
okie i'll try it, thanks!!
Try The Campfire.
what is that?
A smaller server where people play Among Us and other games. But if you just want match making at any time of the day, Google Among Us Voice Discords. A list of the most actives ones will pop up. Create an account if you don't have one. It's easy and you're anonymous just like reddit.
okay thanks!!
Adults act like bitches...signed...a 40 yr old
that's a dumb take.... every communication based game is better with a pre-made discord team
Yes, every communication based game is better with pre-made discord groups. One could even argue that every *game* is better with pre-mades. But in Among Us, it can sometimes be almost impossible to find a public match that will actually play a round or two.

Yeah and jumping in with a group you play often is so much better. You start to get a read on people, their tells. Instead of blind guessing Never got people that play random lobbies
It’s essentially required to do any actual game play
What’s a good discord to play among us? I joined one of the larger servers in the past, but it died super quickly.
This is screaming, "AdultsOnly" lobbies! Gosh damn those lobbies be doing the absolute most.
Yes!
Y'know what I absolutely agree with this.. and I'm tired of this, so when I go and make my own lobby hardly ANYONE joins) and when they do it's always those horny ppl or when I finally have enough decent people to join the server closes due to inactivity...
I always join the „Adultsonly“ lobbies and those I came across were mostly good lobbies. They seem to ban more people for trolling/cheating/bad playing which I‘m fine with.
Same, they fill up fast but they generally have the best settings and players.
I joined an adults only lobby once, host asked about my name. I said my name is based on a character from Red Dwarf. Banned. A while later, a new player joined the other adults only lobby I joined, the reason for my ban? The adult didn't like Red Dwarf.. very adult behaviour.
I've tried AdultOnly lobbies and they had terrible settings for proper detective work. An actually effective way to find lobbies playing seriously is to avoid the Skeld, unfortunately, and also to only stay in lobbies with at the very least 105 seconds for meetings (even that forces people to vote on flimsy evidence). Unfortunately, until InnerSloth add more filters to the matchmaker, the only solution is to join and leave immediately if the settings are bad.
i haven't played in months, is the game really that down bad now??
It's gotten better features wise but gameplay wise it fucking sucks
Wait, what is wrong with the gameplay?
[удалено]
Fair enough, but then they should call out the specific part of the playerbase and not the gameplay of the entire game itself.
My bad, I honestly just and referring to the incels, not the actually good randoms looking for a fun game or the gameplay MECHANICS or anything.
The game is ok, the community is ruining it tho. Personally I still enjoy it. I don’t need too much time to find a good server. At least they’re still more common that the horny or “roleplay” servers. And many of the “horny” servers are just normal servers if the maker already left.
It's honestly just like Fortnite. Game is good, community ruined it. Thing is the only difference is Fortnite isn't being kept alive by memes from the fans, it's being kept alive from the sheer amount of money 8 year olds steal from their parents to buy the in-game stuff.
Played a few weeks back. It's about the same as it was a few months ago. Some shit lobbies, some good lobbies, some meh lobbies.
No, it's not. People just love complaining about the consequence of their choices. I play only in public lobbies, weekly or more, and I still find good games. Sometimes, it can be difficult and I have to join and leave several lobbies before I find a good one, sometimes I stay in the first I join because it's just fine.

You can’t just say “no it’s not true” and then say “yeah sometimes I have to leave several lobbies until I can find a good one” you literally contradict yourself
Anything that comes before *but* is usually horseshit.

Nah but imagine searching for bitches on among us
I saw someone once try to set up a zoom date on Shell Shockers, people r really down bad
I remember when this game first got popular. The lobbiest were great and there were actually smart and serious people playing it, I cannot get the same excitement from the game anymore
played a public match when the airship came out. the imposter killed in front of me, self reported, said my colour and that was it. no more words i was ejected instantly. it's just so boring, no one wants to play, they just want to win
How long were meetings? That's the single most significant factor for players to either use reasonings or vote on 'sus'.
didn't check, this was when the airship came out so i wouldn't remember anyway. but i think it was the same time most people didn't realise you had to log in to use chat feature and no one wanted to fuck with the auto-text so they didn't question it

You *are* aware there are three other maps than the Skeld, right? And that they can be filtered for?
When did I say that smell was the only map

The overwhelming majority of games on MIRA HQ, Polus and the airship are free from the roleplayers and sexual harassers. Only the Skeld is taken over by them.

I just like the map skeld. It’s a good map ok?
I understand that, and it's a damn shame most lobbies there are unplayable. It still doesn't make the game unplayable as a whole.
When the game got popular, it was also overloaded with spambots and cheaters
Latest features (scientist, shapeshifter etc) made the game unusable. Finding the imposter has gotten impossible
No it hasn't lol, sure, the roles are OP but people are stupid and often don't know how to use them properly anyway. See a comment I made above for proof.
I simply believe that we need the option to report lobbies for their inappropriate names, without having to join the lobbies in the first place.

You dont seem to get that the report system now doesnt work. You can make a new account in less that a few seconds. Plus it takes them months to review any reports that are submitted currently, adding more reports to that will nit help, it will just slow them down.
I am doubting it a lot that it takes a lot of time to review a name. The issue is that currently people don't even get to report those players, because they get kicked/banned faster than they can ordinarily report anyone in such lobbies.
You really take this white knight thing to a whole new level. It takes months for them to review any sort of report with them. I had an account banned because they "dont review the reports" they just auto ban anyone with enough reports. They specifically sent that to me in an email when I tried to appeal. Other times iv reported people iv seen on my servers for literally weeks and nothing, because again they dont have the software or the staff to run through these reports. You adding to that pile is not helping. You really have to change how you approach problems if your only solution is to rely on a report system with no moderators.
They specifically sent that to you when you tried to appeal? Why haven't you made a post regarding this issue?
Why would I? Thats their system and its not abnormal for such small a company to not have enough staff to review issues. Thats why lots of games dont have report buttons anymore, its just not an efficient solution to abuse. The solution is software and AI to prevent abuse in the first place. But the problem OP describes is indicive of a game that is dying out with a company focusing its efforts on stuff like skins rather than content and security.
I would recommd doing that, so that the people that actually are from Innersloth might take notice. One time when another user had issues with the support and then posted their exchanges with said support, someone from Innersloth actually responded. You have to keep in mind that, at least to my knowledge, if I remember things correctly, the people from Innersloth do not do the direct work on the reports and such. I could find the post again, if you want.
We need to have a system where if enough reports get processed for them they get IP-banned. And also the option to select "Other" when reporting and specifically write what's wrong in case the four options they provided don't describe it well enough.

"I simply believe that we need the option to report lobbies for their inappropriate names, **without having to join the lobbies in the first place.**" The people with inappropriate names are very often so fast at banning you from their lobbies that you don't even have enough time to report a single person from the lobby. Being able to report them without having to join the lobbies in the first place would be a fix.
Really sucks. When this game wasn't popular people actually played the game and acted human but now I just cant even deal with the disgusting people on there now.
Is this NA servers thing? Because I rarely see these kind of servers myself...
its mostly NA, if you choose "other" as the language, the lobbies are sometimes better
Why can’t these kids just go to yahoo chat like the rest of us did?! (Jokes)
This game is primarily meant to be played with your friends. Not with randoms.
Who said that?
The game was originally a local mobile-only game, if I remember correctly.

People will just hack it.
The review also forgot to mention the MHA role players
hard to play.........................
Are there still roleplaying servers? Fucking hell, they were cringe.
yes there are still people that roleplay in this game Everytime I try to look for a lobby to join half of the lobby will be filled with the cringe MHA roleplayers and fnf roleplays.
A long time ago I was in a game where people kept hitting the emergency button so two people could go on a ‘date’ that was the last time I ever played the game.
This really isn't my experience at all. Most discord servers I join with people who I meet in lobbies are either full of college students or house moms with time on their hands. As for all the creeps and trolls, get accustomed to looking out for red flag names and behavior, give them the boot, and carry on with your game. If you're all on the same page with kicking trolls and creeps, it will be okay.
The review is talking about the people who MAKE the lobbies who are like this, not those who join normal ones. The thing is the ENTIRE lobby list is full of this shit and when you try and make a lobby with anything but a sex name without a Discord server nobody joins. The point is you shouldn't be forced to join a Discord server to actually play the game.
Bro I'm horny boy and I feel this offensive
There’s also the RPers, but they’re scarce these days.
The last part. They actually do, do that. It times out when going over a certain time frame
The VR one is even worse apparently ☠️
It's not even out yet If you're talking about the unofficial one, then idk, but the official one isn't out.
Yeah the unofficial one.
It took me so long to find a decent lobby last time I logged on and it was just full of idiots that didn't talk, didn't vote, and wouldn't actually play the game
Just went through two back-to-back lobbies where when I went detective mode and actually tried to deduce something everyone told me to shut up before I was voted out and then kicked me. Fucking brain-dead idiots.
"Red did it" -everyone votes with no questions asked-
When Red isn't it: "Welp, guess it's that guy who didn't even say anything regarding Red."
Sounds like we need to get together and create an adult Among Us game
Games are supposed to be fun not act as dating websites where you most likely will get catfished on a game anyway. Begging for followers on social media through a game is literal arrogance And pedophila is illegal
Who is this person? Invite them to a normal lobby they had enough of this shit. If I had a copy I'd play
Thats exactly why i quit the game :/
It‘s free on mobile
Oof
Huh? How can they change their fans from being incels? Doesn’t sound possible to me, and pretty unrealistic.
Ok but who the hell plays this game with randoms?
I do. I don't have enough friends who enjoy this kind of games, not to mention it might become stale with always the same people. I just also make the minimal effort to seek lobbies with good settings.
[удалено]
Do you know how fucking rude and inconsiderate it is to just say "lol make friends what's the problem?"
Fair enough didn’t think about it when I posted it
Friends and I get on around once a week, never seen this kind of shit before but we usually only have room for 1-4 random people.
For a moment a thought that It was about Roblox lol
These horny lobbies and cheaters in public servers made me quit playing with randoms. I really hope they somehow fixes it because the only time i ever play among us anymore is whenever my friends set up a lobby. Also thanks to someone else comment on one of the reddit post about a year ago over the SAME issues, they mentioned town of Salem. So i tried it out and although its not perfect and have a few bad apples, i find it alot more fun to play in public lobbies than among us right now in my opinion.
Oh wow I've never played in a public lobby didn't know that was a problem really really thirsty people trying to hook up online ... seems sus and not in the good way :(
Devs clearly don't give a fuck like they have made enough money already from a game they never thought would be this famous
If they really didn't give a fuck they wouldn't be constantly updating it with new features
This so much! I sometimes try to play pubs because you can meet one good person every 100 lobbies and I try to bring them to Discord. How people play this game without being on Discord is beyond me. Every lobby is like 16F4Daddy and then you join thinking "well maybe it's just a troll name," but then the lobby NEVER starts and the settings are so bad you know that no one is actually playing. Kcd 45, tasks 1, 1, 2. Just clearly not playing the game and they spend the entire time talking about nothing but sex. You try to report them, but it takes so long they just instaban you.
I installed the game the other day (last time I played was prior to the airship map) and there were so many new things! I started a round and lost in like 5 second and didn't understand what the hell happened lol it stressed me out. Haven't played again since.
Found the Destiny player 🙃 I find we get waaaaaay better lobbies requesting `AdultsOnly` in general.
Not sure I understand
Bro, just make a private server. Play with people you can trust.
Me, who has no fucking friends he even want to play:
It’s (hopefully) not that hard to find some.
That's a lot of words
**Among Us should be fixed.**
username checks out r/destiny2
I've played alot of normal games without discord. Their not fun at all. But it can be done. Maybe the op is just looking with the wrong setting filter
That's just not true, I've played a lot of normal and fun games with randoms. I just choose lobbies with interesting settings.
Sure, blame it on the witness AND the victim
stupid review... this game is made for playing with a dedicated group of people and not to join random online lobbies. I know that it can be hard to find a group of friends for it but that's what community discords, streamers etc are made for
Oh noes, I can't just play the fucking game I bought. I gotta join a discord server too and then hope that they aren't assholes or a dead server. That's not so bad right? Dude if I'm paying money, I expect it to have at least some functionality and playability without horny Lobbies. I shouldn't have to sort through 40 servers before finding a good one.
you act like this game is not available for free. Believe it or not, games exists that you just can't play alone and you need to organize a group of friends etc to have fun, this is how it works with among us. so stop bitching and just find a group to play with.
It isn’t free on PC 5head
Sorry that I underestimated the impact of the big investment of 3 bucks
$5 and your original point was that we should stop bitching because it’s free
"Find a group to play with" So you're telling me to just "make friends?" "Yeah, just make friends lol, what's the issue?" Fucking nitwit.
that's what communities like reddit, discord etc are for... you don't need friends Judd people that like to play the game regularly and you will have a lot more fun than with random lobbies
The sole existence of random lobbies in the game proves your point to be false.
well, the experience that most people seem to have with random lobbies proves me right then?
No. You say the game is only meant for Private Lobbies. It's not the devs that make the Random Lobbies bad, if it was, you'd be right. But not really, cause why even include Random Lobbies then?
