Don’t be ridiculous. It did happen once. It was annoying. The interface is clearly labeled. You can't seriously expect to be able to play on autopilot and not pay even half-attention to what's shown on your screen... and then accuse the devs of "tricking" you. You're full of it. Yes, actually, I can. lol. I'm not saying they meant to trick anyone necessarily. But they did replace whatever button it was to assign a strike team, with the enter multiplayer button. They could have put it somewhere else, or they could have used a popup to tell/warn the player they may not have been paying attention and are entering a different mode. They did neither. I doubt it was malicious, that would be silly. Perhaps it was just a bad design choice.
It was annoying because it seemed like it took ages to switch into that mode at the time, then longer to switch out of it. Despite Alan's claim that I have an "irrational fear" of multiplayer, I don't. I jsut want to pick and choose the time I might enter it on my own. *shrug*

Good thing I pirated the game (god, I would have been really depressed if I spent full AAA money for this crap), so I couldn't accidentaly go to MP even if I wanted to, and got none of these notifications, haha

It's not tricking the player. There's nothing wrong with the interface inside Strike teams. Players who are paying any sort of attention to what they're doing are easily able to navigate the Strike Teams menu. It's relatively rare for people to screw up... as you've basically admitted yourself... having only messed up on it once.
IMO, what's missing is a way to quickly back out of the Multiplayer lobby if a person accidentally gets there... or... in case they deliberately want to back out before starting a match even when they got there intentionally.

Is this something you actually did, or just an irrational fear you had about maybe accidentally ending up in MP? Don’t be ridiculous. It did happen once. It was annoying. I did have that impression too with multiplayer. MEA multiplayer really seemed reluctant to let you go back to SP once you go in out of curiosity.

I have trouble telling hyperbole from people's real positions on the board. particularly when they say something that makes no sense to me. I can't imagine making that mistake myself. And the "trying to trick you into entering multiplayer" part is hyperbole. We both know that can't be the actual strategy. It can't work. But I see you've backed down from that.

People have different opinions on piracy and they are allowed to express them. Your desire for censorship and repression of different opinions is touching, but denied. It's only forbidden to give directions or links to piracy, which I didn't. "You may have your own opinion on piracy, but we don’t permit linking to pirated content or game breaking cheats."

This isn't like someone stealing a loaf of bread to feed their starving kids. Your medieval way of thinking explains a lot about your opinions on games. It really shows why you don't understand anything about games. But I won't discuss it with someone like you, let's go back to the main thread.

Well of course it was hyperbole. 😄 they don’t actually ask you 5 times not to leave multiplayer. It was a, perhaps poor attempt at, humour. But fact is, they let you switch one way too easily and then give you what was probably 2 prompts, plus all the loading, to get out of it. Bad design.

It's not stealing since you're not compelled to buy it at all, let alone pay full price for it, since they did put it on sale. You just don't belong on a fan site, IMO, since you're clearly not a fan. The fact that your copy of the game is pirated negates any "entitlement" you might think you have regarding it. I certainly don't have any reason to respect your opinion on it. (In short, you just shot yourself in the foot - don't expect me to show you any sympathy.)

I'm not compelled to buy but I can't know if their product is crap until I buy it. And who are you to say I'm a fan or not? Thinking someone is not a fan because they pirate a game they can't buy is absurdely stupid. There are famous gaming companies today that only exist BECAUSE of piracy. If you wish, we can discuss (civilly, if people like you and Hanako can do that) that on a thread specifically to talk about piracy. I'm not saying piracy is totally right, but your medieval way of thinking is just ignorant and wrong. And I couldn't give less shit about the sympathy from the likes of you.

A little calm in the thread would be appreciated. We could discuss game theft another time, but this probably isn't the time or place, please. I suggest we migrate our discussion back to MEA.

But they did replace whatever button it was to assign a strike team There are several instances where the game interface changes the positions of things. I have no idea why. It seems like something like that should be a set design and not dependent on anything else (like graphics card ability, online connection, etc). Buttons change locations. It's very confusing. I had the same thing happen in DAI, I believe.
