Things that just piss you off

I hate mindeless buldiers - just becouse most of the ppl are building compacted base thosent meen its the right build.
Open mind FTW!

Unnamedbuilders who take con kit and press E.

being a tyrant just to be blocked by a dretch who insists they have right of way.

lol, funny that ONLY Americans write about cheating/aimbotting, stupid admins or stupid players?

[holyknight]

I dont know if this has been siad yet but:
THERE IS ONLY ONE GAMEPLAY MODE!
Sorry but the same damn mode gets VERY annoying with the SAME tactics, and SAME maps, and SAME starting bases, and all that shit.
I could do with a kind've slayer match where the spawns are invisible, and first one to w/e kills wins.[/b]

I agree with that, there should also be survival where if you die once, you never come back.
Or maybe a capture the flag, that'll be fun.

-when bored players TK for fun
-when I see a goon in less than 1 minute from the begining of a game (it happened few times - how can anybody become a goon so fast with out any kills?)

i love when that happens, especially when it's their teammate.

Guy builds two def comps right next to each other in a snipable place and says he built the other one just in case. - Actually happened on some random server.  I thought to heck with it and shot him and left.

that's a good way to do it

People who refuse to build but 'know how to build better than you'

People that refuse to build and blame the whole team for not being a builder .

Agreed. Also, people who complaints of bases if they are different from the one which is always 'used in the server'.

I didn't get the bs+chaingun complaint, tho. It would be the same as complaining of tyrants cause they exist?

NOTE: I don't usually play bs (unless defending against tyrants) nor chaingun. I don't use to build either.

People who come on the Forum and repeatedly suggest mines, adv. Dretch., Adv. Tyrants, or really gay solutions to camping. ZOMG HALF OF THE HUMAN'S BUILDINGS SHOULD ASPLODE!!!!11!!!!1!!!1eleventyone!!1!

Are you being sarcastic or is just me?

But i don't want to argue.

Hmmm :eek:, being open minded about base design is a good thing, but I can't think a single place, where base that has been spread all over the place is better than a compact one.

[Stof]

The only place where I would put some turrets "away" from the main base is the original human base on Karith station : it is just too useful to have a few turrets upstairs just before the door.

[Henners]

Indeed - tightly packed is far more effective than spread out, at least against players who know what they are doing. Its a good sign of whether an alien player has a clue in how he deals with outer turrets. If he stops to engage them when the base is lightly defended, or even worse jumps at the unarmoured humans running around next to them you know you have a poor player. If he leaps past them and takes out the more important and undefended critical structures (def comp, armoury, nodes or even reactor) you know you have a good player. Its all about the age old problem that most people still dont understand how to actually attack a base.

The karith example is true about upper turrets being useful, but only if you are still in the starting base position, which makes a close packed base difficult as the area is so big and open. Better off moving somewhere else and having a tightly packed base there.

PLs and BRs.

[Razzler]

Tyrants charging around everywhere when it isn't necessary and TKing (NOTE: running away when badly hurt is understandable), just because they can't be bothered taking a few extra seconds to get where they are going

Goons pouncing everywhere... see above.

People who complain about blocking all the time and blame dretches whenever they get killed

People who scream "DRETCHES OFF THE FLOOR!!!!", when a) you are playing a level where the walls are full of fiddly detail that make wall-walking virtually impossible b) the shouter has forgetten that dretches have to come down off the walls to kill c) lots of newbies are playing, for whom "DRETCHES OFF THE FLOOR" means nothing. Explain to them politely that they can wall-crawl otherwise they block bigger aliens and get them killed (this works wonders for me) d) Treat dretches with some respect, they are just bigger aliens that haven't fed up yet... which brings me onto:

People counting kills over the win (side issue: Tremulous really should report the kills/deaths ratio rather than straight kills) -- so you get experienced tyrants chasing after unarmoured humans instead of leaving them for dretches to feed and becoming bigger aliens which can help them win, or Battlesuited humans with Lucis and flamers going after dretches just so they can brag at the end about their l33t kill number (perhaps kills should be weighted by how powerful the killed opponent is)... and in both case completely ignoring structures. Incidentally... you don't get much reward/respect (messages or points) for destroying structures, even though it is ABSOLUTELY vital to winning. Using up your credits to grenade all the alien tubes and eggs (which no-one else seems to bother with), gets you a big fat ZERO in respect compared to the battlesuited super-dude who slaughtered 100 dretches with his Luci.

People who complain about teamkills all the time when there is a narrow corridor full of slashing aliens and firing humans.

People who think Tyrants are, like, IT. Tyrants are a bulldozer... useful, but all the other aliens have their uses, and Tyrants are pretty weak in many ways. Don't TK other aliens assuming that the player isn't good enough to get the points to be a Tyrant.

People who refer to their teammates as retards, morons or idiots. It's a game. Show a little common decency. So what if you lose because your teams is a bit new. So what if your builder made a horrible mistake. Get over it. You lost a game, that's all. This is actually part of a bigger problem in which you get a poisonous atmosphere in public games and it encourages griefing and still more unpleasantness. This is a big problem on SST, where the admins don't stamp down on rudeness, and worse, actually behave like this themselves.

People who don't apologise when they accidently TK... doubly so if you happen to be a tyrant or goon.

Oh and finally... and experienced players who stand in doorways like dopes.

[Undeference]

Alright. I don't get pissed off at these, but they are rather annoying:
After you accidentally hit a teammate, s/he goes "WTF?" and then kills you before you have a chance to apologize
After joining a game where the team with fewer players is winning, you get vote kicked because there are more players on the losing team than the other. This just happened on tjw (of course after the restart vote failed). LMAO.

I hate ppl on SST who yell at you for tkig when there are over 30 ppl in the game.  Its impossible not to get a tk due to lag and the number of players.

[DarkRogue]

the ones that scream at you for TKing are usually the ones that attack you first and get pwned.

as an SST specific annoyance: Paradox spamming that 'say you're sorry' bind....

Server operator or not it's spam, knock it off.

[DarkRogue]

as for tking other non tyrants: you have basilisk going against a tesla fortified base. You cannot slip in, you cannot grab and kill battlesuits (unles syou're bloody or stasis), you cannot poison anyone. So what is the point of you blocking a tyrant?

Yer ass is TKed not because you don't have enough evos to go tyrant yourself but because you lack the brain power to stay out of the way of those that do.

Not on this post, just in general.

[Diggs]

Criticizing the builder for a terrible base (absolutely nothing covering reactor or armory) and him getting me vote kicked.  (I have terrible luck on Beer Garden.  Only place I have ever been kicked.)

And I agree, I have never seen a spread out base do as well as a compact one with good egress/regress.

[Bajsefar]

People who whine about their team, it REALLY pisses me off sometimes, and when i'm pissed off, i feed, because i want to tear out their guts and make rope out of it, which makes me attack in silly rambo ways.
