Your Pet Peeves, what are they?

[Dracolich]

I have a few and will add more later as I think of them.

1.People with voice activated mics with a nasal whissle and or a loud keyboard.
(this next one is kinda strange)
2.I hate it when I am at the house D vendor and somone runs infront of me and stands on the counter top. Or I come into the store and the vendor is practically impossible to find due to people on the counter top blocking him from view.

I know the second one is a little goofy but for some reason it gets me all in a twist. I even go so far as to RP a little in stores insulting people on their up-bringing for not being taught it was improper to stand on a merchants counter top.

Add your own in here if you have em. If not then :P

[transtemporal]

Ugly people.

Takes a lot to bother me really. Ive played with some of the rudest, annoying, and meanest people you could imagine. I dont take much personal................ its just a game. I find people try to be as polite as possible when they are in arms reach, so the reverse does not surprise me.

With respect to peeve #2 I hear ya.......... and even though its only virtual, I do step out of peoples way when I walk up to a vendor. (but I do stand on the counter)

What I dont like is when people form a party to run a quest and then start to boast about how uber they are. Like the guy who says:

Guy A says - " I pulled 3 sets of +5 mitheral plate yesterday."
Guy B says - " Yeah, I usually just vendor that trash. Unless its also fearsome or invulnerable.... I can always use a few more"
Guy A says - " Normally, I dont wear armor. I can hit 70 in robes but wanna try a different build out"
Guy C drops dead fending off mobs while the other 2 are busy talking
Guy A says - " Dude!!! what happened"
Guy B says - "This quest is so easy I usually solo it, so I figured you would be fine.... maybe its just me"


If I could push a button and send 50K volts through these guys chairs.............. I soooo would.

[Aranticus]

numbskulls in forums arguing their pov using baseless random wierd logic/information/calculations

[Grimtooth333]

Dwarves! :D

Though the voice activated mike one is annoying sometimes... use 'Push to talk' folks.

[Kalanth]

I hate nothing in the game more than the guy with the "Know The Way" LFM up on the first day of new content. Thats just wrong, people, and we should be willing to help out people that have no idea how to get out there.

[Josh]

Monsters that don't follow the same rules that PC's do.

I know what ya mean.

know the way
keep up or dont join
not going back for anyone


or anything like that and I tend not to join the group................ just because if someone gets in trouble I will try and help when I can and expect the same of others.

[dejafu]

People who do nothing but rag on the game while we're in the middle of playing it. I understand that the forum is a place to vent and point out some needed changes/fixes, and can also understand the occasional frustrated mutters and curses upon the devs when there's a bug that's causing serious issues at that moment. But people who gleefully point out every minor defect every three minutes? Bleh. I wouldn't even notice half the stuff people get so worked up about if they weren't constantly pointing it out.

[Hendrik]

My pet peeve;

Opening a chest and seeing it empty. Not the loot, the visual graphic. I would LOVE to see a chest filled with gold when I open it.

:(

[Rameses]

Playing my Penitent Rogue which I've had around forever and a day and someone starts: the box is over here. While they are jumping up and down.

Playing my Monk: Ig'nent player A "how do you like playing your monk? I normally don't invite monks, count yourself lucky." My equally ig'nent answer: "I hate it really. Hold on! I have to recall to the inn for Ki." (Party): You leave your party.

I am, Rameses!

[Dracolich]

Gotta love people showing you how to play a character. I think the problem is people assume its either your first character or they feel good showing that they know were something is too.


Dejafu, good one also. It can be irritating listening to constant nit picking. I dont know any PnP game that the DM perfectly described a room or even controlled a monster NPC the way we all think a critter of that intelligence should act.

Good ones guy keep em coming.

[Mhykke]

Ha, you know I'm gonna have to do this now, a lot, around you.

[Dracolich]

I just thought of another one I really have grown to hate.


3. The people who feel the need to either put their AC breakdown in their build so we all can be envious. Or the people who also feel the need to write how many tomes they have used on their current character. Yet they still seem to be the person calling for heal/haste/blur/barkskin and stoneskin (not in that order usually). Then calling for a rez.

4. The people who get agro and run around in circles (insert any class here because its a person issue not a class) I usually give them 1 lap around me before I move onto the next critter.

5. Internet speak (I know this is an issue very touchy with people)
Teh=the? not sure on this one since they both take the same letters but seem to be re-aranged
Piking=Being lazy in a quest and not contributing. I cant figure out what a fish or a pole-arm have to do with sitting and doing nothing.
Meh=I have no idea is it a term for I dont care or its so so or what it seems nobody knows but people say it alot.

This concludes this installment I will add more if I think of any. My brain churns with things that irritate me.

[Beherit_Baphomar]

Same as the OP...I hate people that run in and stand in front of me. I always try and stand to the side of someone else.

And the second post reminded me of a lil story.

We get a PuG going for Tor and we zone in. The caster is telling everyone how to do thsi and how to do that. I kinda got sick
of him and told him "Just make sure you have flesh to stone and keep me hasted and we'll be good" He didnt like that.
So we're going along, going along, and he's all the time runnin his mouth. I keep being lippy with him...and it stopped ****ing me off and started to amuse me. Anyways we get to the Gatekeeper and he's on one side with a cleric and my ranger. So he's telling everyone how to do this part, how easy it was and how fast these skellies would go down. So I think, meh Im gonna go AFK, get myself something to eat...so I did. When I came back our side is dead and the casters SCREAMING at me dubya tee eff are you doing?? I said "LOL, I thought this was easy?" He said "You're supposed to draw aggro off me" I said "With what?!? You're laying down five firewalls and my lvl12 ranger has rapiers..."

Another pet peeve of mine is the total and utter noob on Argo who ALWAYS puts up LFM's with "Experienced people please, No noobs" in EVERY SINGLE group he tries to form. That ****es me off no end. I dont mind people putting that up if they are known to be good players, or doing something that takes a little concentration, but this guy is an obnoxious, loud mouth, know nothing noob who wants to be carried through quests.

You shouldn't talk that way about Yaga. He's not THAT bad. ;)

Me (Sorcerer): I'm turned to stone.
Him (Paladin): DD
Him: DD
Him: DD
Him: DD?
Him: DIM DOOR?!?
Him: DD!!
Me: Still stone.
Him: DD

Sigh.

[lasac]

our LFMs sometime say "No Tards" "Be L33t" and "Be Uber" Morons...normally those are the people that mess up that whole raid.

[Alavatar]

*People that talk incessently during a quest, even though no one is talking back. I just hate it when someone feels like they need to fill the silent void with their annoying voice.

*People who talk over others.

[Rameses]

our LFMs sometime say "No Tards" "Be L33t" and "Be Uber" Morons...normally those are the people that mess up that whole raid.

lol my personal favorite LFM: "be commited" or "commited players." for quests

my LFM response: "Don't have to be commited, but it helps to be crazy."

I am, Rameses!

[yabo]

BLIND INVITES.


Especially when I'm not LFG. Really. I was soloing TR once, and a guy sends an invite DURING a fight.

I deny, he sends a tell...

Him- "wanna do TR?"
Me- "Soloing it on hard already..."
Him- "you'd really help our group, then"
Me- "you want me to restart to help you?"
Him- "can you?"
(this is where I squelch him =p)

I hate to say it but I am one od these players that put what tomes I have used on my character in my bio. Not to be an ass or anything, but I don't use my bio for anything else, the tomes listed there are only there for me to keep track of how many and what I have used of each. Why should it bother you how I keep track of my character.

I could understand the disgruntlement if a person is constantly pointing at their bio saying I have this or that, but some of us just use it as a tome tracker of sorts. I hope this doesn't offend ya, but just stating another reason why people may put that in there.

[Jixxel]

4. The people who get agro and run around in circles (insert any class here because its a person issue not a class) I usually give them 1 lap around me before I move onto the next critter.

I'm one of these guys, atleast on my ranger, I can't help that I end up doing more dmg with my bow and manyshot than the tanks I end up grouping with.

What ticks me off is putting out a LFM and getting people wanting to join and as soon as they join the group they drop out and then want to be invited again 2-3 minutes later.

[vtecfiend99]

lol my personal favorite LFM: "be commited" or "commited players." for quests


HAHA! I've been laughing at that one also lately.

my pet peev is listening to people talk about d.r. in pugs. oh god... my blood boils lol. :

player one:"transmutation(yeah, i know. this is how they say it.) weapons are the only thing that cuts harry's d.r."
player two:"nah man nah, see, electricity gets through his dr cuz the electrical numbers show up red..."
player one:" oh yeah you're right."
me"vomit"
player one: yeah i took all my feats on this guy as warforged dr cuz they stack with barb dr and that stacks with the barb clicky and that stacks with the golden greaves and that stacks with the stoneskin and that....
me: **** guys sorry, guild calling. later

[branmakmuffin]

Here's a specific incident: in Threnal East, doing the Reinforcements bit. Full party. Cleric agrees to take charge of healing the party, I agree to do nothing but keep Coyle targeted and wand him whenever he takes damage. At one point in the fight, when Coyle is being his usual annoying self by jumping headlong into battle, Coyle starts taking a bit of damage faster than I can hit him because of the cooldown (we had agreed as a party that my CMWs were good enough). Guy says "Coyle is not at full health!" If I hadn't been too busy with my job of Coyle-sitting, I would have typed (we were RPing and only Mr. Know-it-all was on VC) a less-than-friendly reminder that wands have a cooldown time, and there were bound a to be a few seconds here and there when Coyle was not at full health. Another thought was "Why are you watching Coyle?"

I guess this falls into the category of "others telling you how to play your character," with possibly a dash "someone not doing the job he agreed to do." 49 CMW charges later (during the comparative lulls, I topped him off no matter how slight his damage was), Coyle made it.

[Hawkeyekck86]

I am, Rameses!

My highest character is a 9, so on the higher quests that I've never done before, I dont mind someone telling me where they are. But in WW? Come one.

Have to recall for Ki - I'll have to remember that one.


My personal pet peeve is when someone (not always a kid) continually asks if they should use XXXXX greatsword or XXXXXX greataxe. Most of the time I think that they just want everyone to know what they have.

We get it, you twink your toon.

[Dracolich]

Oh I understand and no offense taken. I am one of those few who reads bios looking for interesting background stories. Maybe they should make a notes tab on your character sheet for your own personal use, not that the bio isnt good enough just something you can put personal notes. But yeah I have not ran into a person purposfully pointing to their bio saying look at the tomes I have eaten. it is a good Idea to keep track never thought of it that way, I just hover over the stat and look to see if it has an "Inherent"bonus. Good point though and thanks for giving me another point of view.

[branmakmuffin]

Oh, I forgot: beggars, especially the "subtle" ones. "Hey, that's a nice rapier."

[Niclos]

Hopping skeletons and kobalds at low levels, what are these paid acrobats. How about monsters that you go to trip only to find at the last second they have bobbed and weaved and completly missed your attack even though they are really only 2 and half feet from you. Casting curse on a beholder only to find that mid cast he is to close and cant cast in an antimagic field, this also works for people that need heals that are fighting him up close. Knowing you have a 90% chance on such and such a scroll roll 2, roll 3 , roll 1 and your 90% chance scroll is more like %50. A lvl 5 wolf having improved trip. Concentration checks.... Chest loot that doesn't benefit you at the time, im not talking masterworks daggers but large horns and now raid tokens.

[Turial]

LFM's that post "elite, need opener and guide, don't join if you don't know the quest"

Part of me wonders if the person starting the group has ever done the quest, and that part of me sometimes ponders joining the group just to mess with them.

Secondary casters such as rangers, paladins, and bards, that wont spend any of their own sp on resists, cures, and other buffs to save clerical and major arcane sp. These are the people that 1/2 into the quest still have a full sp bar and watch as everyone else runs low and then asks for resists or other minor buffs that they would be able to cast on themselves.

[theANTItommy]

Oh, I forgot: beggars, especially the "subtle" ones. "Hey, that's a nice rapier."

^^ i do say things like this sometimes when i see nice loot puled from a chest. it's not a subtle begging tho, it really just is a "hey thats a nice rapier'

now if i see someone pull something that i want from a chest i WILL send them a tell asking if they are willing to sell or trade for it.




as far as peeves...
clerics carrying clubs/scepters (with 95% of a full mana bar) who stand there and watch the ranger or pali heal everybody

the guy who drops group in the middle of a chain w/o any kind of warning (especially if they re-log as another toon)

the guy with the LFM who is afk for 10 minutes

auction house prices (unless i'm the seller, i'm not gonna lie :) )

not being able to find the item/piece of equipment you need when you need it at the shops/auction house... EVER
(^that last one isn't anybody's fault, it's more of a murphy's law kind of thing)

[jkm]

1) my main rogue peppr is a "V" theme build - she has the entire V speech in her bio only using "P" words. i get at least 2-3 tells a week saying "how i so ripped that from V is for Vendetta". sigh.

2) rogues with WOTA2 (which my rogue has) being in sneak mode in the shroud on the portals. at first i thought it was because of the double hit, after timing it you get about 2/3 of the attacks.

3) people jacking with the dragon puzzle

4) how slow you run in the harbor

5) invisible barriers everywhere that keep us from exploring (especially in public areas)

[lasac]

What annoys me!?!

When people dont like:

Me breathing in mic.
Me talking over them.
Me running off.
Me using voice activate mic.
Me messing with puzzles.
Me telling them what to do.
Me begging for stuff.

and most of all...when they dont accept my blind invites!!!


;)

[faldordadink]

I suppose my biggest pet peeve is wasting mana healing someone the bard just healed

[Kotter]

well I do this sometimes if I don't know the quest not to show off what I have but to determine the best tool for the job from those that may know the quest better then I....

[Entwhistle]

The Cleric version:

Players that draw aggro to the Cleric (me). They're getting hit or trying get out of a mob or for what ever reason, they run right for me pulling a gang of monsters after them. Some break off and come after me so I have to fight and not heal. Or heal and while geting smacked. Run toward other combat characters or to open spaces.

Same with enterprising individuals who go off by themselves, run into trouble and bring it back with them. Usually in the middle of another fight. They always run past me (healing in the back) but the monsters don't always follow.

Whiney Wizards who spam for a restore in the middle of fight when there's 4 front line guys that need in combat healing. Stay back and wait, you'll live.

Parties that run off in six directions and get ticked when you're not right there to heal them.

And the usual: blind invites, no cooperation in party, dwarves.

[Kotter]

following the leader in a quest and have a party member yelling that we are not sticking together when in actuality they are the ones off doing their own thing. usually when zerging through a quest and they decide that they want to do every optional and side item. best avoided by asking what the plan is when you join a pug ;)

[Osharan_Tregarth]

Along the same lines as a couple of other posters...

LFM's...
"no noobs", or "experienced players only" for harbor quests on normal.... And the party is waiting for a cleric. With two rangers, a paladin, and a warforged wizard in the party.

The players that start a party on their level 12 character... And put up an lfm for 15-16 characters to run a quest on elite. These are also greatly enhanced by "guide needed" in the lfm description.

Voice Chat...
I don't want to know that your kid's dinner is ready, or that you'll "be there in a minute dear" or that your dog is barking, or any number of other things that would be fixed by using a PUSH TO TALK button.

I'm also not a fan of the people that use their speakers for game sounds, and their headphones for voice chat, with the speaker volume set for "deafening"... Turn the **** volume down on your speakers so we can hear the other party members talking. Or you talking. Or anything other than the crash and bang of normal ddo combat.

[Solostoran]

the term MUPPET. I really really dislike this term.

[admcorbin]

Is not having working ghost touch handwraps for monks. I have a bunch of other weapons, including +1 ghost touch handwraps.. and the **** things don't function properly. I have to go find a ghost touch kama which unfortunately right now means i'm going from d10's down to d6's arrgh.

Two very good ones there. I have saw people level 10-12 with an LFM for 15-16 and needing a guide. I think those are people who are trying to get their 1750 favor as fast as they can, I cant fathom why anyone would even help window lickers like that.

The speaker thing I am guilty of myself. I have two sound cards and two sets of speakers. The one I use for my voice chat out so I can adjust the volume independantly of the game sound which I use on the other sound card. It works rather well and I at least to my knowlege have not caused the crash and bankg to come through while I talk...I hope :D.

in the middle of a quest, particularly in the middle of "action?" I would hope not. I don't have any high-level characters, so "beg-a-tells" are not directed at me very often, but if I get one in the middle of a quest, that is particularly annoying. The message I get from this is "Hey, what interests me (the tell'er) is gear. I couldn't care less about the quest."

The creepy hafling running animation.

The creepy hafling running animation.

Kinda like the female human /dance1 emote . It looks like the women have no bones in their arms.

[branmakmuffin]

Kinda like the female human /dance1 emote . It looks like the women have no bones in their arms.
What, no mention of that weird, hip-sashaying female Elf run?

The only good dances are male Halfling 1 and 2 (Heeeeeey, macarena!), female Halfling 2 and Dwarf (male and female I think) 2. :eek: Everyone else looks like they're drunk or mentally ill.

How about the way Human females stand duck-footed, with shoulders slouched? Or the way they sneak (kinda like they're afraid to step in something gross)? And male Dwarves sneaking look like they have chronic back pain.

[ShaeNightbird]

I wish we were able to have a guild bank, instead of creating a mule for all the trades that need be done, or mailing everything if nobody's on to help swap out gear.

[Drekisen]

1). When on my cleric, this is my exact attitude. I have mana, healing is my priority. My mana is not unlimited, if u see no more blue bar by my name, I suggest u have ur own potions or way to heal urself, or u have wands, scrolls, and/or mnemonics to donate to me...otherwise

2). People who talk about thier personal lives. Fine in private tells, in party chat tho, ehhhhh...u'll be squelched.

3). See #1
4). See #1
5). See #1

6,7,8). Classes other than those who are using the rage FEAT...not spell....who don't have thier own remove curse potions in the Shroud and Vision.

9). Clerics who waste scrolls and mnemonics & complain about being broke because they are too lazy to run from a tree and back to the party in part two of the Shroud.

10). Noone standing at the crystal to nuke it in part two of the Shroud.

11). STop swinging means remove finger from right mouse key. Wait means do not proceed until I have caught up or made a statement I find important.

12). See #1
13). See #1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11

That will be all.

[suitepotato]

I hate nothing in the game more than the guy with the "Know The Way" LFM up on the first day of new content. Thats just wrong, people, and we should be willing to help out people that have no idea how to get out there.

Rhetorical question: How is this different from idiot PHBs who demand seven years' experience in a software package of a definite version when the software itself only went beta three years ago, or that network technicians have "deep and meaningful experience" in a protocol still under development? Right now, there are people writing job ads which require web programming experience relevant to Firefox 5.

So, all in all, nothing new for some people.

[suitepotato]

[branmakmuffin]

Then I guess we're just different. If I get something I know I'm not going to need, I'll ask during a lull if anyone wants/needs it (or reassign it in the chest if it's something like a memory potion or a wand a caster can use right away). I don't pester people for gear they've pulled and I don't like being pestered about gear I've pulled.

Edit: I witnessed one particularly annoying (IMO) beg-a-thon during a Durk's run. The wizard or sorcerer pulled a Muckbane and all the melee types started in on him: "I'll give you this, I'll trade you that, I'll give you X plat for it." I sent him a tell saying I thought he should just ignore them and give it to a buddy/guildie or sell it on the AH.

The players that start a party on their level 12 character... And put up an lfm for 15-16 characters to run a quest on elite. These are also greatly enhanced by "guide needed" in the lfm description.

QFT. To go along with what others mentioned people LFM for only "UBER" players, or some other self important carp like that.


Voice Chat...
I don't want to know that your kid's dinner is ready, or that you'll "be there in a minute dear" or that your dog is barking, or any number of other things that would be fixed by using a PUSH TO TALK button.

I'm also not a fan of the people that use their speakers for game sounds, and their headphones for voice chat, with the speaker volume set for "deafening"... Turn the **** volume down on your speakers so we can hear the other party members talking. Or you talking. Or anything other than the crash and bang of normal ddo combat.


LOL


My biggest pet peeve are people who join groups and then proceed to try to solo the quest. Double points if you proceed to solo quest when the whole party isn't even in the instance yet.

I never advertise for carp, let alone self important carp. Mostly their flippers are too small to use the keyboard properly. ;)

I have advertised for "56 points builds only" in one LFM. It was a joke about the "44 point build" crew but no one got it except me and my mates...

...

OK, so they didn't get it either but I thought it was funny. :D

[Falco_Easts]

People to lazy to put a level range in their LFM's. i.e Durks 1-16 and you mouse over the party and it is full of 2 & 3's so not a favour run.

People to lazy to click on accept or deny when you request to join their party. 10 minutes later when you are in a different group you get a message that InsertToolsNameHere has denied your request as his the group is now full.

People outside of the level range of their own LFM's. i.e lvl 8 player with a LFM for 10-13 VON Elite

People who give out Stoneskin during Reaver. You guys do know his sword is adamantine, right?

People who put up five thousand Dancing Spheres in Reaver. There's, what, five Elementals from four or five skulls now? Do we really need that many?

Conquest in Stormcleave. It's not necessary and, in fact, can be run twice for more XP, sometimes even faster than the Conquest team can run it once.

1.) Not being able to load arrows into my hotbar from the quivers.
2.) People that have there mic on all the time and it picks up everything.
3.) Zergers that can't zerg properly and when they die they blame everyone else.
3.) People that take forever in a quest, "Hey can you guys wait 15 minutes while I go do this?" Why did you join a quest and than decide to do something else?
4.) People that give directions to do something and than leave something out and blame you for not following them, or they do something and you follow through with them even though you tell them you don't know the quest, than they get upset when they ran out of a room and you didn't stay in to open the door for them when they wanted back in.
5.) People that get upset over a piece of loot, they get mad to the point they are yelling at the other person over voice chat or start to tell them that there not a good person for some reason.
6.) People that sit over a chest and when I pull a raid item they send me a tell "give me", "I need", than spam "give me" over and over again, guess what, even if I don't need it I'll give it to someone else or take just because I don't want you to have it.
7.) People that yell at everyone else when they die, some people drop group when they die, but I'm assuming they too are a person with a temper and decide to save to whole party from there outrage.
8.) Spending way to much on heal and raise dead scrolls (Come on, let's drop those cost a little to help out the clerics)
9.) People that don't bring there own support, if your level 16 you should have Remove Poison pots (even a few if your not using an item if you ever take it off for any reason.) Remove Blindness, Remove curse, Lesser Restoration, Remove Disease, Remove Fear is helpful for the group, or wands of the same type. I personally think you should always have your own healing as well, but that could be up for debate. If you just pick up 20 remove blindness pots that well last you for at least a month if not much longer. I don't like it when people depend on everything from someone else, I can understand when someone runs out, but not to have any of them to begin with, your just wasting the clerics mana, and how much money do clerics spend on other classes, what you can't pay 1/10th of the price they pay to help them out?
10.) People that think you don't need such and such class or this many of a class and than walk into the quest a die, than on top of that, they came for and got what they wanted, so instead of going back in to help you with what you wanted they res. and bail.
(Because of this I well drop group before the quest starts if the proper classes are not there for that quest, I mean not everything requires every single class, and not every quest do you have to have a tank or a caster, but some quests are like walking into VoD without any clerics, sure it might be able to be done, that doesn't mean I want to help you do it.)

Well there's 10, I think that's more than enough.

[Tanka]

Now that is just bogus. Whether or not it's "necessary" is in the eye of the beholder, not the Tanka.
You and I play completely differently, bran. We both have hashed this over many times. You like Conquest, I don't. I want fast XP, not "let's take two hours to run a simple zerg rush" XP.

OK, I'll go first. I don't think Mhykke violated U.S. copyright law because he made no claim the image was created by him.
Assuming the work is copyrighted, unless you have explicit permission or the work is in the public domain or "fair use" applies ("parodies" seem to fall under "fair use"), reproducing, distributing or creating a derivative work from a copyrighted work is a violation of copyright law. I'm not an IP (let alone a copyright) lawyer, but that's my quick-and-dirty understanding of copyright law. The image in question bears the Comedy Central logo. One would assume it is copyrighted by Comedy Central (or more likely whoever owns Comedy Central). Nothing in the image suggests it's in the public domain or that it is a parody (or is otherwise the subject of "fair use"). Of course, it's possible that the image is in the public domain or that it's "fair use." But you can't tell just by looking at it. Why do you think wikipedia has all those disclaimers on the pages with images?

Don't confuse "copyright" with "plagiarism." There's no law against plagiarism (assuming the plagiarism is not also a violation of copyright law) in the U.S. as far as I know (other countries may differ). Edit: If I claimed to be the author of The Wheel of Time series, I suppose technically that is plagiarism, but it is not a violation of U.S. copyright law.

All that said, philosophically, I think intellectual property laws are silly, but they're still the law.

Now, if some copyright expert (not necessarily a lawyer) wants to come in and wax knowledgeable, fine by me.

More edit: back on topic, people who were too late to a name like "Drizzt," and so resort to "clever" spellings. I wonder what the record is for most "Zs" in "Drizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [...] t." What's the max characters in a name? Of course, I myself was too late to both "Kirk" (on Aundair) and "Kyrk" on Sarlona and Thelanis.

Volts don't kill, amps do. 50K volts would just make sure it got through the resistance your skin has. If it was say .25 amps, than he's not killing, just waking people up a little, however 50K would make sure to get through, but it maybe a bit more than needed.

Why do I say something when I can just say nothing at all, I don't know, cause I'm in the mood to troll a bit I guess if troll is the right term, have no real clue what it means.

That's a legal conclusion. You're saying "I didn't do it because I didn't do it."

This is all transtemporal's fault.

[arcticwolf666]

1. THF, TWF fighters and barbarians running into mobs and ruining the hypnotize or fascinated mobs, causing unnecessary heals, mana drain (Cleric, Bard, Wizard, Sorcerer), and sometimes party wipes :mad:

2. People who run in, grab aggro and bring back mobs before party is buffed, then split when the party wipes :mad:

3. People who talk the entire quest, about how "Uber" their toons are and die in the first 30 seconds of a fight, then get mad at the cleric because he/she was with the party and not the uber zerger.

4. People who do not listen!!!

I didn't read the whole thread so some of these may be repeats of others' pet peeves.

1. Oil of Repair. I estimate that about 10&#37; of the DDO population is Warforge yet the collectable NPCs give me Oils of Repair 90% of the time. This is making me develop a serious hatred for warforged. For a low level character, getting an oil of repair instead of a Cure Moderate Wounds potion is a major drain on limited funds. In my last 12 turn-ins, I've gotten exactly 1 healing potion.

2. UMD dice rolls. I don't know if Turbine has officially addressed this or not but I have serious doubts as to the randomness of these rolls. I've logged all 50 rolls on a CLW wand a few times and was the averages was far below 10.5. Even more upsetting is the frequency of 1's, 2's, and 3's. These numbers, in my admittedly low sample size, occur 2 to 2.5 times as often as they should.

3. CR1 monsters in inaccessible locations with spells that can take half a level 6 character's hit points.

haha on #1 for sure. I have noticed the fungus lady will give me a 50%/50% oil to heal pot but I usually just run to the lobster or the newb harbor and hand them to lowbie warforges.

ya the UMD needs worked on bad something does not feel right about it but its hard to put your finger on.

It works. ;)

I have been trying to think of a couple more. I am drawing a blank. Trying to keep it light hearted and kinda funny so people can get a laugh at work.

I think they need an episode of DDO on southpark. I wonder which classes each character would play.

Cartmon=Barb/Fighter or Paladin since he wants Authoritai!!
Kenny=Low HP rogue who gets agro and dies
Kyle=Cleric maybe Wizard
Butter=Wizard with silence spell because he cant stop stuttering long enough to do verbal components to spells. :)

our LFMs sometime say "No Tards" "Be L33t" and "Be Uber" Morons...normally those are the people that mess up that whole raid.

Hmmm, I really think this may be just a matter of perception or an anomaly. I haven't kept count, but I am equally sure I get mostly C[...]Ws (and no, I'm not talking about with a WF character).


2. UMD dice rolls. I don't know if Turbine has officially addressed this or not but I have serious doubts as to the randomness of these rolls.

These numbers, in my admittedly low sample size, occur 2 to 2.5 times as often as they should.
Now this I agree with (although it may be a matter of my own skewed perception). My Rogue has a 40% to activate low-level wands and it seems like I often go 10 straight times missing the roll (please don't go into why my Rogue is trying to use so much a wand he only has a 40% chance to activate).

[scampb]

Then I guess we're just different. If I get something I know I'm not going to need, I'll ask during a lull if anyone wants/needs it (or reassign it in the chest if it's something like a memory potion or a wand a caster can use right away). I don't pester people for gear they've pulled and I don't like being pestered about gear I've pulled.

Edit: I witnessed one particularly annoying (IMO) beg-a-thon during a Durk's run. The wizard or sorcerer pulled a Muckbane and all the melee types started in on him: "I'll give you this, I'll trade you that, I'll give you X plat for it." I sent him a tell saying I thought he should just ignore them and give it to a buddy/guildie or sell it on the AH.

Dude, you are just being argumentative! If you area at a chest then chances are you are at a lull in the quest, good time to ask for something if you need it. Happens all the time.

[scampb]

People who give out Stoneskin during Reaver. You guys do know his sword is adamantine, right?

People who put up five thousand Dancing Spheres in Reaver. There's, what, five Elementals from four or five skulls now? Do we really need that many?

Conquest in Stormcleave. It's not necessary and, in fact, can be run twice for more XP, sometimes even faster than the Conquest team can run it once.

However, conquest on first time elite is worth it but other than that, I agree.

[scampb]

Pet peeve, people that join a PUG and take over the leader's roll deciding where to go, who does what, giving direction etc instead of letting the party leader be the leader (unless of course the leader has made it clear that someone else can take the lead, which does happen).

[petegunn]

1 Silent groups with no atmosphere at all basically no craic .
2 Casting mass heals in the shroud part 5 on the main tank ,while the rest of the party is split up and running around like headless chickens , plus they're dying and the ones still alive are taking damage .
3 Trying to make the decision to take my attention of my designated tank to res their O U T of range sorry asses

[branmakmuffin]

Dude, you are just being argumentative! If you area at a chest then chances are you are at a lull in the quest, good time to ask for something if you need it. Happens all the time.
I don't like being pestered. I was talking about offering during a lull, not asking during a lull.

See the difference?

[Aesop]

My biggest pet peave is people who don't read the Chat Log.

I don't use VC because it annoys me.

I understand its uses and always like when the group leader uses it to give directions... again I don't use it but I do type


The problem is that people seem to not "listen" when anyone using the written word is trying to tell them something.

me:"we need to jump down and go into that cave"

caster: D Door up

half the bloody group takes the d door and we spend 20 minutes getting people to where they need to be.


me: "Don't aggro the mobs down the hall"

ranger: ploink... Oh no the trolls killed me.

... /sigh

Whoa, we are in complete and total agreement!

[Kalari]

hmm before I truly go off to read guess i'll put mine here

1. people who have the attitude that they are great yet bumble up more then newbies and get an attitude when they realize they arent as great as they think.

2. like above only they spend more time bragging about how great they are (build, gear, weapons) and spend more time doing so then actually contributing to the quest.

3. People who dont inform me they are gonna zerg and leave others behind, and get mad that I will wait behind for people who cant catch up. Well if you want my cleric close to you you will wait till were close together or heal yourself.

4. People who argue in game over non game issues, or worst in game things like what properties a certain item gives while were running a quest. I mean come on its bad enough your voice is taking the magic out of the dungeon to here people bicker over stupid **** just ruins the magic.

5. People who dont get its more of a group thing then it is about who can out do more, sorry I know that some people get their kicks playing a who can out kill who. But if im in the mood to do something with a bit more stradegy so everyone involved feels like they are contributing then thats what the group Im running is gonna do.

6. Guys (and not many but ive run into a few) who assume that after they hear my voice even if I have the star that they should take over because im a chick..yeah ive developed a new attitude towards that its called "your gone."

7. People who will explain stuff to me even though I know what im doing have shown them I know. Its not chivarly its annoying please stop..no seriously stop. Especially on quests like SC, and Deliras as a person who plays mainly casters and healers I think those two quests are the very few I know pretty darn well even ransacked SC on my cleric a few times so I dont need you to explain every nook and cranny to me.

8. People who are afraid to speak up for fear of looking stupid, you look more stupid going into a quest unprepared because your afraid to ask at the start what is needed. Id rather ask and know then go in and say oops.

9. People who try to hard after being shown that its not gonna work, to attempt quests that are too tough for them. Failing doesnt always mean your not good, it just means you need a bit more under your belt. But to keep running something into the ground ignoring how your party's morale is lowering while our repair bill is soaring just screams of selfishness and makes me not want to group with ya again. (ive had this happen just recently on a low level run and its really annoying)

10. People who join a group knowing that its gonna be laid back where were telling jokes maybe even greasing each other and catch an attitude because were not taking things as seriously as they like. I get that were all different and personalities clash at times but some of us arent on just to game game game. Some of us want to get lost in silliness and dont want some kill joy cussing because they dont want to joke around. If you are told up front we are laid back and still join be prepared for fun or drop group..simple no?

Probably have many more but its past my little ones bed time and ive got a book to read to him ^_^

[branmakmuffin]

4. People who argue in game over non game issues
Yeah, I was in a group and this guy started talking politics (RL, not Stormreach) so I typed, all in CAPS, with lots of bangs, "NO RL POLITICS! NOT HERE!!!!"

Even though I was not the leader (neither was he) he did stop. Of course, maybe he was gonna stop anyway, 'cause he didn't say anything like "Oh, sorry." I can only imagine how talking RL politics would totally derail a group and a quest. Actually, pretty much anything banned on the forums is off limits in the game, AFAIC, unless everyone agrees that it's OK.

[Aesop]

Whoa, we are in complete and total agreement!

It happens I even agree with A_D occassionally and boy does that annoy me... maybe I should have made that my pet peave

[aumerle]

1. THF, TWF fighters and barbarians running into mobs and ruining the hypnotize or fascinated mobs, causing unnecessary heals, mana drain (Cleric, Bard, Wizard, Sorcerer), and sometimes party wipes :mad:


Casters that blow mana on unneccesary crowd control on trivial mobs that will die in 2 seconds and won't hit any of the fighters and then complain when that crowd control is broken.

My main is a sorcerer so I understand the other side as well, but have seen this plenty of times.

[GoldyGopher]

My two pet peeves run together. My number on pet peeve is your character is soooooo great don’t tell me the character is great show me and if you have run a gazillion times how come you got lost getting there (it’s waterworks for heaven sakes). My Coworker and fellow DDO player gets to hear all about my latest hatred of those two things, unfortunately on a regular basis.

Over the last couple of years I have made a number of different builds and tried them out. This means I have run Waterworks a number of times, I guess the number of runs I have made of Waterworks is pretty close to 1000 now. I don’t hate the quest I just want to do it as fast as possible and get on to other things and I hate to admit this but it all blurs together now and a slow run is 40 minutes for all four parts.

A couple weeks ago I was in a party with a 32 point build Warforged Barbarian and a 32 point build Ranger who spent the first two quests and the start of the third part attempting to see who could be the biggest bragger on how great their build was. It was I’ll just say annoying. The fact that one of the characters got lost in the Marketplace and had to ask for directions to Waterworks wasn’t helping my attitude.

Anyways we are in the third part my five members of the party are sitting at the Trog’s chest discussing the strategy to go and pull the levers, and oh yeah bragging about how incredibly frelling awesome their characters are. Suddenly the cleric has had enough. “Well you braggarts are sitting here our Rogue [my character] who is two levels below you has out killed the party in parts one and two, leads the kill count here and has already completed the green side and now is working their way up the stairs on the other side, I know it is not kill stealing so shut the (tr)uck up.” Needless to say neither was in part for there was a massive DC problem and both the braggarts dc’d after completing part 3.
