Things that just piss you off
« Reply #60 on: September 19, 2006, 08:22:58 pm »
Poor spelling and grammar angers me. For example:

"prifle is better then shotgun"
"orc is to good"
"your a bad builder"
and lately: "machine gun Turrets"

I see these mistakes over and over again. It makes me feel ashamed for enjoying a game that semi-literate people also enjoy.

If English is obviously not the person's first language, then I don't mind; it's the people who are fluent in less than one language that get me.

On the other hand, I have nothing against abbreviations or leetspeak, and I can appreciate these kinds of utterances: "ima goon that jettard".

Oh yeah, and the sounds of the advanced marauder zap and the pulse rifle impact shouldn't be the same.

-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????)


One more thing that pisses me off:
Turrets that block the way into the base - imagine a tired human (can't jump), poisoned by an alien, with no medikit, trying to get to the medistation but Turrets in front of the base block his way... How do you think - what's the result? :x

Quote from: "I"
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.
Screw that! Make it just votes with invalid reasons. Basically, whenever there is a restart vote that passes, I'm going to a different server. Also, I've been seeing a lot of these bad kick votes. The really sad thing about them is that when the person who got kicked comes back and calls a kick vote on the person who kicked them, that vote never passes.

Makes me want to beat people's brains (you know, where their brains would be if they had any) out with :barricade::barricade::barricade:

Tyrants who slash all the time as they run.  I had just evoed goon and went around a corner there was a tyrant no one chaseing him slash slash I'm dead and lost all my evo's.  He does it a couple of other times to other ppl.  I call a kick vote 10 yes 1 no.  He gets kicked signs back on says he is gonna report me to the server admin O_O.

ah, the last post reminded me, people who teamkill you as a alien. I know it's sometimes an accident but it gets annoying. I lost a lot of my evolve points with that.
I guess its pretty same as above, but its littlebit differnt because I've been killed by a good too.

People who build when your winning.
If its an egg hunt, don't move the reactor, and don't just stand there with a ckit.

Worse, when they have no spawns, and people still camp.

These are rather things without which imho would make playing more enjoyable


Player Behaviour

*Bad language (Players who barks others rather than use real language)
*Arrogant players
*Vote spam ("he's too good" -vote especially)
*Players who think TK is a solution for all problems
*Players who don't read nor response to teamchat
*Bug users (read cheaters)
*Anti-teamplayers
*Players who thinks the loss is always builders fault (come on, give skilled opponents some credit  :wink: )


General Play

*Deconners, especially those who leaves after that
*Feeders, even though it is in opponent team
*Builders who don't inform their moving plans and especially if he/she accuses naab team for losing
*Builders who just stop building when base is incomplete/base is under attack and don't inform that he/she stops building
*Players without attacking sense; blocking when it could have been avoided, not attacking when OM(ckit may stay imho/reactor down(granger EVO), egghunt with battlesuit(?!), "lets attack booster" when egg is in sight


Aliens

*Granger moving with OM removal especially when map starts -> No 3 min wins
*Egg spam if not running
*Pointless slashing/charging
*Mara-army attacking 1st line of defence rather than jump to defenceless base
*NON-attacking dretches @ ATCS corridor floor -> drethes and grangers whine when TKd
*Tyrants who don't let drethces kill unarmoured humans unless tyrants are @ low HP


Humans

*Builders who do "good" 1st line of defence and leaves THE base unprotected
*Turre(N)ts are built just for metal-eating dretches  :roll:
*Blocking turrets -> humans running -> block and block -> humans get killed and as2/3 faster
*Players who just bursts even others are front of him/her

Well... There was listed also things which gives kick/ban so... You figure it out :)

How about humans camping at all? Go ahead and camp at stage 1 and hope you get s2, if you can't aim. But when you get stage 2 or stage 3, camping is equivalent to conceding.

I almost can't play against an actual human team because I play against (and with, when I'm on humans) campers too much.

people who refuse to build.

When we are being hammered and I have 1000 creds I want to go attack, but noobs with 0 creds just want to feed and wont repair turrets to let me take a bsuit and chaingun to the aliens eating the base.

that and noob builders who think thay are god.

Noob builders do piss me off.

We were finishing up an egg hunt at Transit.

What does the noob builder do?

He decons the whole damn base and starts to rebuild it in a terrible place.

WITHOUT TELLING ANYBODY!!!!!!

It was terrible.  The aliens won that round.

Disclaimer:

I always play as human. I usually build.
================================>

The biggest thing that bothers me is HORRIBLE / NEW BUILDERS THAT HAVE NO CLUE!!!

Some nights i play on servers where all the builders know what they are doing. It's awesome.

Then there are some nights where the noobs and sst people roll in.

Example:

Builders on my fav servers I have never seen bfore com in and build ALL the turrets away from the reactor. They put them in the doors only. I say "Hey guys the turrets have to be pulled back to protect the reactor. The reactor is totally unprotected". They respond : "Nobody will be able to get in so that does not matter". Yopu know what htis tells me? Either they play on a SST like server or they are new cause they dont understand a goon can jump over in 2 seconds and destroy our base. SO F-ING FRUSTRATING. So I keep telling them "Pull the turrets back" and stop when the guy calls me a prick. So I said "OK, jet remember I TOLD YOU SO". So what happens in the next 5 minuts? 2 goons and a tyrant bust in and destroy our completely defenseless base. Then the ass diconnects before I can say "I TOLD YOU SO".

If you dont know how to build then please go back to pong.

That happens quite often. Once I was more annoyed than usual and I simply joined the aliens to show him how much unprotected the reactor was. The time to get enouth points for a few adv mara runs and the game was over :wink:

Hehe, I tend to play aliens more often than humans now simply because of the crappy building (it's not just on SST) and people shooting me in the back before I even leave the base. I've switched teams a lot for those reasons.

I'm a mainly fighter but I will build ina pinch.  If I join humans at s3 rather then feed tyrants I stay in the base and snipe of feeder drecths.  I also watch builders who I know are good.  Like USA Proximus.  So if i have to I take over building. One gane on karith I join humans.  They moved the base to the cornor of the warehouse.  Not the cornor under the balcoy the cornor near the reactor.  I decide to stay and see what it would take to win.  There were sevral bad things going on.  Noob builders, feeders, bad base etc...  Well a mara jumps down into our spawns and kills our spawners.  I spot him and take him out with the lad gun.  I tell the builder to get a turret or two to cover them.  He didn't answer.  I buy a ckit and begin to build them there.  But he takes up my bps when he builds a secound armory.  I tell him we need turrets near reactor and to deconnsrtuct that.  He still won't listen.  After another mara and a dragoon tried the same thing.  I decon his armory and build turrets.  By this time were s1 still and I hear the roar of tyrants.  I grab my lgun after the turrets are built.  After a few minutes he decons my turrets!!!  I yell at him to put them back but no he goes and starts the armory again.  Then when I buy a ckit to decon it again he shoots me with rifle buys ckit decons reactor and leaves....  

Now that is a griefer/noob builder....

There's only one thing worse than a noob; a noob who won't listen and doesn't know what they're doing.  They can singlehandedly doom a team to failure.

I have an effective method of dealing with them.  Decon the reactor on humans and leave the game; on aliens, I decon all eggs and om, then leave.  If they're so good, they can figure it out for the team.

Lame, I know, but It causes the team with no teamwork to instantly fail, and pisses the noobs off enough they leave.  In other words, it causes one team to disperse so that the teams equalize in skill when it forces a new map.  I usually try kickvoting first, and if the team doesn't care, then I'll do it and leave.

The same goes with players who are too good.  If I'm on a server there are invincible players there I'll leave.  If I see 1 goon singlehandedly taking down a human base on a 6v6 game with average players, there's no point to playing you, and after the second game, most people get the point and leave.  I'v been unbelievably good at other games, and I know from experience, if you're that good you are going to ruin the fun for everyone else and by joining such a server warrants a banning.

Most of the time I straightout leave and go somewhere else or hit spectate and let the noobie team fail because I'm not there, then when the next game comes around, the teams will equalize, or close the game and do something else; that's how I find myself playing different games.  There is no point in playing a game where there's no chance of victory because your team has the cumulative intelligence of a peanut.

Banning a guy becuase he is to good?  You know how stupid snd unfair that is?  He is better then you deal with it!  Good players join the server I play on all the time.  Do I get pouty and leave?  No I try my best.  The only way to get better is to play play play.  Who better to teach and practice against then a pro?  As for the deconning stuff thats puts you on a lower lvl then the noob.  Mad over oe guy so you screw over the other team?  I saw that I'd tell an admin to ban you.

Heh, not only would I ban you, I'd insult you as I did it.  :eek:

I've seen failing miserably teams pull it together and nail a dominating opponent.  You haven't though.  That's because you are a griefer who plays to win, not to figure out how to win.  Good games are the impossibly hard ones.  You know, the ones you grief or just quit on.

Heh, you're what "piss me off" about this game.

Banning a noob is more stupid "snd" unfair.  A new player, genuinely wanting to learn by watching, PLAYING and ofcourse listening should be encouraged, not kicked/banned.

I've never seen a new guy get banned if he puts effort, ask questions, and doesn't feed.  But banning a guy becuase he is better then you?  CAn you say Sore Losers?

things that piss me off:


Overall:

-Stupid noobs who think "feeding" is the best way to win
-People who build reactor/om in a completely obvious place
-Anyone who questions my adminness (lol)
-Campers
-People who do nothing for the whole game except yap
-People who fall off the bridge on uncreation on purpose, "just cause"

Humans:

-Idiots who build an all tesla base
-Same as above but they place the DC in an snipable place
-Feeders who run out to alien base with no armor with rifle
-People who block doors with turrets (especially teslas, harder to get over)
-See second Overall one
-On uncreation, people who blast you with luci OFF the bridge (pisses me off the most on that level)
-Sucky builders who build sucky bases (ex: someone who builds reactor, nodes, armory with NO turrets.)

Aliens:

-Feeders
-People who think hovels are great blockers. Whats the point because you can only build one?
-Grangers who build cades that block doors
-Griefers that place eggs over pits
-On any ff on server, idiots who blast you from behind with goon or tyrant
-Everywhere else, people who block you. Stupid dretches......

My No. 1 peeve:

-Idiots who think I auto and use aimbot. (thankfully no one has ever said that, if some1 does expect bad things to happen)

Next up:

-People who mouth me off cause im an admin, usually followed by a mute.

people who say BIULD!!!!111!!1!1!ONE then die shortly after, become a dretch/rifle and then start yelling about building again...
people who luci/chaingun/anything else at you because ur on the medistation trying to heal but for some reason they deserve to heal more than u because they got to the medi after you did
blockers
blockers that shoot u and kill u after ur low on health and trying to get past them and into base
people who spam down a hall when there isnt a visible alien
and finally (i think) people who pounce and trample around the map when ff is on

I usually can live with what you posted so far, except the blocking :)

But what really gets me are those morons that join in the middle of a fight and do their on-join-vote either to restart the map or to switch to another.

Or

"Is there an Admin around? Can he give me Admin-lvl 5?"

The same goes with players who are too good.  If I'm on a server there are invincible players there I'll leave.  If I see 1 goon singlehandedly taking down a human base on a 6v6 game with average players, there's no point to playing you, and after the second game, most people get the point and leave.  I'v been unbelievably good at other games, and I know from experience, if you're that good you are going to ruin the fun for everyone else and by joining such a server warrants a banning.

I reaaly hate people who whinge to the whole team to build X building when its SUDDEN DEATH and then refuse to listen to everyone tell them that you can't, especially if they whinge about how we lost because we didn't build.
n the ongoing battle between the ground and the plane
the ground is yet to lose.
