Well there have been some n00bs on tremulous that make you wanna cry. List the biggest one you've seen here.
Mine is when on arachnia the humans moved there base to that tiny hall way in front of there base. O_O Thats just noobish they claimed that tyrants can get in. They were on stage 1 when aliens stormed in with Tyrants.
-
How about the time I deconned the reactor, planning to THEN jetpack up to the ledge and build the new one >.<

I'm afraid you're showing your "noobishness" here; that spot is well known to be the best location for humans to move to on that map (the pipes may or may not be better but getting there doesn't happen in serious games). And if its properly built, well defended and kept repaired tyrants can indeed be kept out. Don't mistake poor teamwork or lack of basic skills for a bad idea.

Attack Grangers.

Hey, attacking with grangers is fun and entertaining!

Watching the guy with the flamethrower trying to get the mara.

Something every single newb does, walks up to the armoury, buys a grenade, and activates it on site.

We had atleast 10 turrets (on SST) in front of the door to our base. One player tries to throw a nade. the nade doesn't go far enough.
A few seconds later, about 22 humans, and every last turret was destroyed in a massive chain reaction the likes of which I shall never again see. Seconds later, the game is over, when Tyrants kill everything.
-
wow. That would be fun to watch really :P

no its not, the best place for human base is upstairs, that small corridor and the pipes are death traps
as for the noobish things ever:
-attackin granger
-front eggs at S1 (only feed humans and encourage dretchin turrets)
-dretchin turrets
-MASS dretchin flamethrower (instant s3 for humans)
-decon of reac/om in first minute of a game
-decon of reac/om without saying a work
-granger leaving the base to build one egg and 4 acids in the middle of the map
-retarded human campers sitting in base when I yell 'om down'
...i can go on like this all night
-
Lol, small corridor, that place sucks so badly. All you need is tyrants at the front upstairs, and tyrants and adv goons at the back. The goons just snipe the turrets on the ledge, or dretches dretch them, and then pounce up, and pump 3 barbs into the armory. Soon, you have a wide open back, and every tyrant and goon and dretch is flooding into it.
-
wow i've seen so many in my trem life, heres some:
-the infamous nexterholland guy was one of them.
-this guy while i was playing against humies decided to run to aliens base, unarmored with a rifle ignoring all aliens. promptly dies in 2 seconds after i catch up with him.
-stupid jetpackers. one of them was resting on a platform wearing a helmet (keyword helmet). i wallwalked above him and started biting him. how can he not see me???
-some guy while on the first day of admin (bah this always happens), started getting real mad at me, saying things like the n word, comments about ppls mom's etc.
god that was the n00biest person i saw. i kicked him for good.
-this one lives on even till today. some guy thought 1 telenode was great for 7 ppl rofl.
-the many ppl who think i h4x just cause i have great aim and have a high score.
-
atcs - no turrets near the reactor - adv marauder sits on reactor - rapes the base
Watching the guy with the flamethrower trying to get the mara.
i love being that mara. though my favorite is on karith: dretch wallwalks into base between reactor and armory, dretch kills builder, dretch wallwalks out, lisk wallwalks above reactor, lisk eats reactor, 4 humans still haven't noticed.
-
A clan leader (who's name I wont mention) keeps bitching contstantly for over 30mins, get's admonished more than 4 times, gets muted, renames himself to 'WTF?' 'U SUX' 'MOFU', get's the boot, reconnects as 'I'll kill you' or something like that, gets kicked again, starts trying to DOS the server with fake-connects, gets the IP range from his whole area into the drop-rule, goes to the forum and starts bitching, gets told off there...
Can it get more noobish than that?
-
You always have to love it when noobs say important information over the com, or they fall for the ole 'decon the reactor so i can move it!' trick.
.. or when tyrants fall in holes on uncreation on their way to attack the base..... maybe more funny than noobish actually..
-
Something every single newb does, walks up to the armoury, buys a grenade, and activates it on site.
The only time I've ever done that is when I've had 2000 credits and a buy-throw bind. :P
-
While I have a list, there is only 2 that really piss me off.
First one is obvious:
Floor attacking dretches.....c'mon.
The other is a granger that deconns the OM because he wants to move base?!?!?!?!?! You dumb mother@$#@#*. NEVER, EVER, EVERRRRRR move the OM. Did I say ever? EVER!!!!
Aliens are not meant to have a base. If you want to build somewhere else, make an egg and continue building. Let the hummies have the OM.
I just got done playing (or rather quiting out of) a game on transit due to this(although there were other things going on).
I go alien, rush the hummies who already managed to make 2 well placed turrets, kill 4 of them and run off so I can evlolve to a goon and go back in. Guess what??! No OM. Moron decided it was lonely all by itself so he moved it the stairs going to OG alien. Game turned into an alien campfest with me being the only one (and later net_giant) killing anything and destroying turrets. We went s2 but the builder refused to make a booster. Said he needed those points for something else.
Thats when I left.
Wouldn't you?
-
The best thing there is are Dretches attacking Flamers.

Hope you understand this piece of.. art.

What's also very dumb is an entire team fighting at one side of the base, while your Mara or even your Basi can easily tackle the base via the other totally undefended entry.
Or did I just said something really stupid...?
-
atcs - no turrets near the reactor - adv marauder sits on reactor - rapes the base
Watching the guy with the flamethrower trying to get the mara.
Watching a guy kill the guy with the flamer resulting in a human civil war.

mmm hydra turret tutorial, I almost forgot about that one !
-
Atcs..human standard base. I was going to build the turrets on the upper level near the reactor, so that no mara could jump in. Some players in my team always wanted the turrets down to block the entrances. I told them that that wouldnt be smart since maras could jump over it and destroy base.
Anyway i built the base and the turrets where all on the upper level when aliens became s3. But then those idiots decided to rebuild the teslas near the entrances though i told them not to do but i had to defend since the others werent able to kill the tyrants......end was that an adv dragoon jumped over the teslas into our base, killed the def comp and game was over.
Best was that one builder said we would have won if we had built all teslas near the entrances...............
-
Most n00bish things ever seen:
1) Human buys painsaw, immeadiately holds attack as he slides against the armory. Armory is smoking but guy doesn't bother to fix...runs out of base and dies halfway to alien base.
2) Human base has just been hit hard, 5 people are asking the next person to spawn to spawn builder to replace armory....the next person spawns twice in a row as rifle grunt....
3) Alien OM gets killed. Attackers are still in the original base area...granger builds om again in the exact same spot...then complains no one is defending him.
4) Humans are defending a tight passage with plasma rifle and flame thrower. Tyrant rushes in to take out one or the other. On his way out the genius attack granger has followed on the tyrants ass and is blocking the door. Tyrant dies...being cursed by the granger for blocking.
5) BAsilisk at reactor. Reactor kills the basilisk but is smoking. N00b fired a full charge luci at the basi's ass. Reactor is TKed. Luci user bitches for a reactor...
6) Complaints that humans are overpowered....despite them only winning maybe one in ten games...
-

Wow, what kind of broken server config are you playing on ? I play mostly human and I win most of my games too 8)
-
Humans have s3 and aliens are still in s1 and their OM and defense is down. 5 battlesuits try to do the final assault and right in front of the alien base they see something yellow/brownish. They wonder hmmm, what is it. Suddenly they notice, it's a dretch, let's kill it. Dretch runs back to human base and all battlesuits follow. Yey, evil dretch has been killed and next time they come back, whole alien base is back in full defense. Or if it isn't, the dretch has spawned again and does a new round >_>
-
Love being that dretch.
You wouldn't believe how effective that is, if bsuits are on the way to alien base.
For some reason, they follow and forget why they left campgrounds in the first place.

I saw this crap! teslas around it makes the situation even funnier
-

hm, i don't remember seeing you there. or has he tried this base more than once? I personnally liked the fact that although he uses almost nothing but teslas, he put the dcc well out of their range, such that even a lisk can cripple the defences.
-
7v7 on nexus6. human team 4 builders building/deconning for ~10minutes without talking a single word until alien rushkill the ubercrappy base.
alien nearly destroyed, all humans in bs searching for aliens.
-
Noobs are stupid and brave in there own retarded way.
Noob tries to take on 2 dragoons and a adv maruader.
Noob sneaks up behind A tyrant with a pain saw but switchs to blaster instead
Noob watchs guy is BS get melted by like 20 acid tubes and decides to try his own. He didn't even make it to the door.
-
I was playing on ATCS yesterday, and it was like 4v4. ONE guy standing in between two turrets at the front of the entrance to the standard human base..WITH A CONSTRUCTION KIT, he wasnt building. I spawn as human and immediatley get bitten by LAVA CROFT, and then respawn again trying to run down to avoid getting bitten again, and again die..i tell the guy with the construction kit to blast the dretch..he just stands there. and then I finally manage to spawn without getting a head-shot and go an kill LAVA...to which this idiot with a construction kit just stands there looknig at me, and then proceeds to built turrets by the reactor/armory etc.
unbelievable.
-
That happened to me earlier on Karith got like 3 kills in a row before someone looked up at the chat msg and kill him
-
I was running back to base, thank to the large round of the rifle, and I could hear *slash* *slash* *slash* right behind me. (About 10 times)
I was wtf? Especially when I didn't get any hit. So I decided to stop to see what it was : It was Rasz[PL] trying to kill me.
-
:roll: Belier, get a life!
-
Top_Cat, perhaps he was scared of spiders, I'm suprised he wasn't standing on top of the reactor screaming :P
-
That base hurts my eyes as a builder. *cries*
I HAVE done the attack grangar thing before (because for some n00bish reason, I kept thinking I was a dretch... roflmao. I was going "WTF? Why isn't he getting hit by me touching him?" till he lasered me to death =( )
I don't think deconning the Reactor is a bad thing since many Human bases are simply crap (or very, very difficult to defend well) but I think I just learned something new about the OM. I'll have to think on that one more.
About Arachnid2 and building in that U-shaped tunnel. Check out the thread on good base designs (the sticky) we had a discussion about the base there, and agreed that while it's snipable (as aalmost ll bases are when aliens reach S3 anyway) it IS tight enough that a tyrant is going to either haev to kill himself to cause serious damage, or he's going to have to keep retreating often. And hopefully get cockblocked :P
Edit: I noticed Norfenstien talking about it :P WTG my master. :P
Nux: *dies laughing* oh man... that's hilarious.
My pet peeve?
As a builder, watching n00b builders think "oh cool these guns can kill the aliens!" and set about building them far away from the base.
Repeat after me: TURRETS ARE THERE TO DISCOURAGE ATTACKS NOT KILL ALIENS.
I (actually, the sad thing... the whole team) fell for the "WTF ARE YOUDOING WHY DID YOU DECON THE REACTOR?" trick before.... that was mean. =(
Non-pushing humans at stage 2 and 3. I mean, I play humans the most. CMON DUDES GO OUT THERE GODDAMNIT!
-
How about the time I deconned the reactor, planning to THEN jetpack up to the ledge and build the new one >.<
I remember that! =D
I think what was more n00bish was all the people complaining about reloading their energy weapons AFTER i'd explained they could just sell them and buy them again at the armoury. Or they could use the repeater that Nux had built
edit: That base is great! Why haven't I thought of that level of defence? XD
-

I have seen such a "base" TWICE :(((
no idea what was the builder thinking :/

Hmm the stupidest thing I have ever seen in Tremulous...hmm...
Probably when someone built an egg on the cieling right over a batch of turrets and teslas.
-
where the Turrets there before or after the egg
hahahaaa.... which came first?
the Turret or the egg?
-
When the team consist of mostly good players and they all say "someone build" and leave the base to kill dretches and leave building to Unnamed player. Unnamed builds a crappy base but all just ignore it, maybe say that it's a bad base. When aliens hit s3 base get's destroyed in seconds. After that all good players start blaming the Unnamed because he is so noob player and should not build. The fact is, all good players were so busy to get a high kill count, that they didn't even think about building because it might keep them from getting the"über" score. Now who is more noobish, the fresh tremulous palyer or the pro who makes them to what they can't do correct (atleast usualy)?
-
^that happened to me alot of times my bases where good they left me to it and yea... but i couldn't stop four tyrants and a swarm or adv. marudas
-
Exactly... To those so called "pro" players I say that best player is the one who is last one alive and builder that ends up building new base wich saves all team mate's ass. I have been once nominated jesus for that... You might not earn high score but lots of respect.

One type of bug base that seems particularly popular on SST is what I like to call an egg farm.
Needless to say, it doesn't work very well.
-
One way to feed humans is it? Spawn instantly and go on suicide mission.

The most *n00bish* thing? SST.
A game lasted about ten minutes because for some reason (I won't think about why to avoid a scanners-style head explosion) all 260 alien build points had been used to build a tight cluster of 26 eggs all in one corridor. Soon, there were about ten humans at each end mowing down dretches with rifles. Then there were ten humans with helmets and pulse rifles and five turrets at each end mowing dretches. Then there were ten humans in battlesuits with lucifer cannons, five turrets and two teslas at each end, still mowing dretches. Then the humans won.
n00b.
-
Crappy human team, game shouldn't have lasted long after s2 at best :wink:
-
BS with chaingun backed into a corner (obviously afraid of loosing the accumulated credits)
I wallwalk over and drop onto their head
They begin frantically shooting in all directions, but won't move or look up.
They die
A BSuit killed by a dretch. (I almost feel bad for em, almost)
Painsaws who think they are immune to dretches.
Dretches rushing out of base to attempt to kill the las gun guy who always has the high kill counts who is sitting just outside base!
Staring down a flamer as an adv mara. I rush at flamer, jump just outside of flamer range (jump just off to the side,) flamer lights up, burns self, angles up to get me (can't,) I zap them hard. I take minor damage but heal. Flamer turns and looks at me, waiting for me to rush again...

You get alot of artist when it comes to base building.. and I don't blame them.
It's fun to make a pretty looking base.
..but they're usually just pretty looking crap.
-
Well, they aren't the MOST n00bish things, but they were still funny.
- In general, when you see someone running around with a bsuit and a rifle.
- In once game on Akka, it was a 3v3 or 4v4 on Transit. Me and Maltagearion and a couple others were on humans, only alien I remember is Walker. One of the alien players says "ok decon reactor now, im ready, go go go", and of course Malta sees that and goes and decons reactor. gg. :P It wasn't really n00bish per se, just an honest mistake, but I still found it hilarious.
-
The most noobish thing really is people joining a game, and then going like:
"WHERE DO I BUY GUNS?"
"HOW CAN I GET BIGGER ALIEN"
"WTF WHERE I BUY AMMO"
etc.

Oh dear god that HURT MY EYES! I'm BLIND!! :o
And i don't even BUILD ever! (well, sometimes maybe)
:wink:
-
We went s2 but the builder refused to make a booster. Said he needed those points for something else.
Thats when I left.
Wouldn't you?
I would have spawned as builder and made a booster, and posibly started a kick vote if the guy deconed the booster.
- In general, when you see someone running around with a bsuit and a rifle.
Unless that person can't afford another weapon but is helping raid a well defended alien base.
Most noobish thing I've seen, aliens that camp the humans and complain that the humans camp.
-

so true. in that situation the humans should camp to defend and not feed. its the aliens who are camping.
I saw a noob with a luci, but nothing else, no armor or helmit.
hit him in the head with my dretch and was going for the feet when he killed himself by shooting at me.

@Vector_Matt
I was an Adv mara and was raiding the hummie base getting decent kills on structures, however I didn't die. And since I was going for structures, I didn't get evo points. I didn't need the booster for poison but faster healing.
Getting killed intentionally to spawn as a granger while there was a perfectly capable granger there didn't seem too plausable at the time.
Also, I don't like to start kick votes unless it's really necessary.
-
The other day, there was a n00b with a Lucy who just couldn't figure out that friendly fire was turned on. He TK'ed me, so I made it a point to keep an eye on him. It was absolutely hilarious.
He wasn't a lamer, but just a stupid noob. I was hovering above with a jetpack, watching while he tried to fight off a Tyrant with a buddy in a battlesuit.
He fired the Lucifer right into the battlesuits's face.
When keeping an eye on the readout on the top of the screen, 2/3 TK's were his.
Finally, he lucy'ed the armory, clinching it for the humans. It was really a shame too, because I located the om, and it wasn't even defended. 30 seconds earlier, and I could have painsawed it.
If he was a lamer, he was the most subtle lamer I have ever seen.
-
Usual noob mistake, no turrets near reactor only at edges and bassilisc pawn.
Best one I have had done to me so far, bassilisk grabs me with a painsaw head on. 0wn3d

LOL
thats a good base.
how long did it take you to take that defence computer?

LOL

how long did it take you to take that defence computer?
i was on the humans that game :cry: , we were a stage above the aliens when he pulled that stunt, so i decided to try to take them out quickly, i destroyed the OM about 3 times, got to s3 way before them, but i couldn't finish them off without my team's help, by some freak chance of nature, the defence computer lived until aliens got s3, at which point we had the usual business with 4 tyrants coming in the base at once.
-
Arghhhh.this just makes me wanna cry:(It just happened a few minutes ago
Me and 2 other Trem players were in a server and then we fought and killed the aliens attacked their base and reached stage 3 then both of those players quit and came 2 noobs who totally were bad builders.They didint repaired stuff and kept building :evil: Then a Tyrant came and wiped a telenode,defense computer and the armory.Guess what?They kept building and building.I told them to rebuild the destroyed structures but now they just were silent and kept building then finally came a reply,"We cant build anymore" :evil: :evil: then the tyrant came back and wiped the whole base :evil:
