    The herdivores:

    Hey aliens won, lets all go aliens.
    Hey the marines go, lets go marines.
    Hey the aliens won, etc. etc.

    I like to swap sides every now and then as much the next guy but it annoys me when you join an alien team with the marines having a 2 or 3 man advantage, you all work it together and manage to win, next round you can't go alien cos all the marines switched. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yeah... that annoys me.... but what also gets me is when people yell at you in the ready room, for trying to go marines. I'm a pretty new player.. not all that good.. but I can point and shoot.... as a sulk... BAH! I've gotten 3 sulk killz EVER... I mean I make a cruddy sulk.... even as a fade I'm not even close to decent.... So.. I'm warming up my skillz as a marine, untell I get good.. then I'll switch and do the same as alien... I'm just waiting b/c I know if aliens have a n00b it's more harmful for them... and I don't wanna make a team loose... ya know?

    OMG - I've encountered all of these! Especially that last one. It crops up regular like. I could never understand it. Someone would hop into a temporarily vacant command chair and suddenly I wouldn't respawn: "What in God's name happened to out IP? We had that base ultradefended against Kharaa attacks!"

    Llamas, eh? I heard of one game in which people who llama suddenly end up with a massive arrow pointing at their heads so other players can give them grief <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    People who, when they lose, blame everybody else on the team but themselves.

    "We only lost cos my entire team is clueless noobs!"

    I see that a lot.

    It's all well and good for you Mr Commander but we may not have your skills.

    -When you end up in a 4 vs. 8 game, and lose, just to hear the other team gloat at their leet skillz...
    -When Kharaa have won, and they then refuse to eat the last IP for 15 minutes, just so they can get a better score...

    People who think that just because someone is under the age of 16 and has a squeaky voice they are losers and shouldn't be allowed to play. I'm 12 years old, turning 13 on 25th, and i comm a lot, and win. I reguarly come first in games as aliens. I teamplay. When i use the mic i try not to yell or squeak(this don't look right <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> : i mean the word squeak).

    Other than ageists, i don't like:

    -people playing music over mic when everyone asks not to.
    -people who hang around and ask for stuff.
    -people who doubt my coolness
    -people who aren't different, adn don't change plans AT ALL ( ALWAYS going for porcessing in hera, calling comm a newb if he dosen't.) I've tried several times to get people to relocate somwhere else on hera, but they always run there, and when i put up waypoints to the area i want them to be in, they start crying and yelling 'EJECT COMM' over mic.

    I have nothing against kids playing this game. Im quite happy with them playing it, its a good game all should play. The only thing i do have a problem with is arrogant kids who belive they are god, who are spoilt and allways want there own way. And, to get there own way they have there mic on full and constantly repeat what they want.
    I know not all kids are like this, and i am happy that they dont. Realy good games can happen when paying alongside kids, they seem to pick up the game quicker and play better.

    Erendor what i said proberblysounded worse than is was ment to...
    Mic boost + Pre Adolescence Child + <b>Arrogant screaming child</b>
    I have nothing against kids in genral, just the shouting ones. You wern't ment to take offence at this, if u did sorry. Kids who use voice comm properly i have no problem with, because it normally envolves no mic boost and the mic volue been turned down a bit. This means that aslong as they dont spam all the time i am quite happy playing with them...

    Abbreviations. Especially "FFS", but especially "LMAO", "ROFL". You better be actually rolling on the floor laughing if you're gonna type this.
    I also don't like "n00b" for some reason. And anything leet, even if it's just joking.
    People blaming lag when they die, as if that justifies their death.

    Strangly "WTH" doesn't bother me...

    Yeh people who blame lag really **** me off. Especially if im connecting to the west cost of america, san fran for example. then some american comes on blaming lag for there death... and i have a higher score than them.
    By the way, im from uk so id be connecting over 8000 miles, they are normally somewhere in the US.

    To set the scene, my ping = teh sux. It's almost always the highest on a server if I'm playing a game other than NS, although in NS I seem to see quite a few other VHPBs (probably due to all the structures and stuff around). I pray to be lucky enough to ping 200-220, it's normally 230+. So, here we go:

    Lagging out 30 seconds after I just evolved to fade/onos is pretty much the worst thing in the whole game (ok, getting gest killed going onos is the worst). Lagging out in general sucks ****, waiting around to see if someone killed you is no fun. CD gets a little aside here, it likes to turn itself off, which not only lags me, but then I get kicked if I'm on my favourite servers (all CD req).

    Ah, this is so true. Try to kill marines as a skulk with a 300+ ping. It doesn't happen very often, you can literally run behind someone who doesn't see you and start biting and not kill them because the melee hit detection is a bit dodgy. It always makes me feel pretty damn clever when I'm pwning people whose ping is 1/10 of mine, I'm 2-for-1 and all the other skulks on my team have about 3x my deaths <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
    That doesn't happen very often either, though. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The last thing that get me really **** is when people try to pretend that my high ping is an advantage, it literally makes me LOL when people say "you HPB I couldn't hit you".

    OK, that's my little 'angry time' over with.

    One time I was commanding, and for some reason the Arms lab I had built along with the proto lab dissapeared of my comm screen, I looked for them for about 30 sec but they were not where i had left them. So I figured that some skulk had snuck in and chomped it. So I put another one down, then someone says "OMG STUPID NOOB COMM PUT DOWN 2 ARMS LAB WHAT A B*TCH DUMB SAcK of etc."

    Apparently my comp errored and we had an arms lab all the long. That my friends, is annoying
  • JimydJimyd Join Date: 2003-02-08 Member: 13289Members
    high ping is an advantage if you are getting alot of kills with it, that's when it sucsk. i mean you see a skulk who skipping every 5 feet and circle strafes you and kills you. :/

    I just hate guys that camp out the round after their hives have all been killed and they have no hope of winning or their base and spawn portals have been destroyed and camping in vents. They are just wasting everyone's time to no avail. I also dislike the things that other peple have mentioned in this thread.

    Heh, I never really had any problems with people in NS...
    Ya jp/hmg rushes suck.. and the marine-only type people can be complete hypocrites (ex: telling aliens not to F4 at any time when the game start and then f4ing themselves when the aliens kick their sorry armoured rear ends)

    I think the only problem I have had was when I was a marine, we had almost won, the comm jumps out for a moment to kill a skulk chomping the chair and then some guy jumps in the chair, recycles everything and starts yelling about how he did it because the team was being racist.
    Now, I don't think saying someone sucks when they die every 3 seconds, humping the armoury and not following any orders (ex: not building the obs right beside him because he was too busy asking for an HMG a minute into the game) is being racist. The fact that his name was azndude12213 or something was his problem, the team had nothing against asian people. Just him. Some people should smack their children for being such idiots...

    oh.. ya... that and over confident n00bs. The rest are okay.. I mean, if its their 7th or so game and they want to try being gorge for a little while, after getting to know the basic stages for building, fine. If no one lets you try being gorge/comm, how will you become good at it?

    and.. um.. rambo lerks.. The ones who would rather fly at the turrets, bitting rapidly so they can't even see, insted of providing the fade(s) behind them with some umbra for cover while they take out the turrets...

    Well, all that and getting the SI techtree mistaken with the NS techtree.. heh.. "WTH?! Why don't we have tommies/lvl4 armour/health regen yet?!" Good, tired times...

    I'd recount the incident in detail but no-one would be bothered reading it. Suffice to say that today I had a reminder of why I gave up being a gorge back in January. I'm a rockin' gorge, if a little ... different, because I don't believe in WOLs and *gasp* drop OCs near the start (in fact, I think that's why I do well as a gorge - marines aren't used to dealing with such tactics).

    The trouble with doing things even a little bit differently is it inevitably gets some fluffnut flaming you, then deciding he'd be a better gorge and trying to take over, halving your res flow and generally ruining the game for the team (and more importantly, for me) in the process.

    Gah. I truly hope 1.1 fixes some of that - I miss the days when I could wander around the map seeing my little OC/DC pods in strategic locations killing all who come near. People really ought to be more open-minded.

    I blame lag for stuff all the time, getting killed, getting killed by a hive, getting drunk, my cat dying a week ago, SARS etc. etc.

    Although I will admit that I normally have a half second ping when that happens <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Ok, specific example here, but it's generally behaviour like this that pisses me off.
    Happened yesterday on my favourite server. ns_bast, we were aliens, holed up in feedwater. Marines relocate to Atmospheric Processing (double res), then rush our hive with mines (planting mines all over the floor inside the hive room). Most aliens die, when they respawn they try to bite one of the attacking marines, run into a mine and go *boom*. gg
    Next game we're feed again, marines try to do the same thing, and, what's even more infuriating, they succeed. Grrrr. One time was funny guys, but it's getting old.
    Next game. Feed. AGAIN. "Hey guys, you don't suppose the marines will try to relocate to Atmospheric, do you?" Surely not. We set up an ambush anyway, and to our <b>immense</b> surprise, here come the marines. "Hey Bob, you just hear something?" "No, shut up and get that CC bui-- *chomp* *argh* *clunk*" "Yo Bob, what's chomp-argh-clunk mean? *chomp* *argh* *clunk*"
    So after we stop their reloc dead in its tracks, they <b>F4</b>. Great. 2 minutes into the game and it's over.
    Next game we're ref, they F4. Next game we're feed, they rush us with mines. Next game we're feed again, we stop their reloc to Atmos, they F4. See a pattern developing?
    Now if this isn't lame tell me what is.

    That is very lame... I normally fight it out to the last second. Dont know why people F4, it gets much more interesting and action packed when your team is loosing.
  • lolfighterlolfighter Snark, Dire Join Date: 2003-04-20 Member: 15693Members
    ... except (as a stated a different place) if the opposing team is just spawncamping, showing no sign of trying to kill your hive/Ips just prolonging the game and racking up kills. I fully support F4'ing in those situations.
