Helldivers 2 CEO Johan Pilestedt calls for community input to improve the game's host-based kick system, acknowledging the need for a better solution to handle unjust player removals.
Suggestions from players include matchmaking filters based on playstyle, penalties for excessive kicking, and providing partial rewards to kicked players.
Pilestedt highlights the importance of the current system for dealing with troublemakers but is open to integrating new ideas that maintain the game's integrity.
The community responds with a variety of proposals, such as highlighting the player who kicked you in the 'recent teammates' screen and creating a mirrored instance for kicked players.
Pilestedt thanks the community for their involvement, emphasizing the collaborative effort to address the game's kicking issue.
