Doesn't feel to good, to be honest. =/

Basically, it was an ICBM mission, we had 20 minutes left on the mission and everyone was at extraction (Which peeved me a bit, as we didn't do any POIs).

I see a radar station literally right next to extraction, and say in chat i'm going for it.

Well, in the middle of raising the radar station disc, extraction lands and they all immediately get in, remember, the radar station is RIGHT NEXT to extraction, and we still have 20 minutes left. I barely finish the radar station objective before the pelican takes off.

Suffice it to say, I went from a bit peeved, to pretty peeved and just kicked them all.

I'm starting to wonder if some people just don't have chat enabled or something.

You might not be aware, but completing side objectives is significantly harder after completing the main objective. Completing the main objective increases the enemy spawn rate by more than 4x.

For this reason, I always ping side objectives, as well as enemy spawns I want to kill, prior to the last main objective. Once the main objective is done, I almost always bee-line straight to extract.

With that being said, I also always make it a point to communicate what I'm doing. Ignoring comms is kind of a dick move, in my opinion, but I try not to judge in case English isn't someone's primary language or if there are other circumstances I'm not aware of.

But yeah, if you want to do side objectives or look for samples, I highly recommend doing it before you do the main objective. And use map pings as much as possible.
