Divine "naughty" lists

[Ryan220]

Hello all

the other day I was on my Cleric, had a bad PuG and was in the process of adding two more names to my naughty list when it dawned on me that it is only my Cleric that squelches people.

I like to think Im an easy going Healer and only squelch people that give me abuse. I never squelch people for poor play as people have off days, RL distractions, are new etc etc.

In a game where a Divine is almost always desired (im talking the general DDO gaming community) it strikes me as odd that Divines tend to be the classes that gets the most hassle.

Even at L25 I see an individuals repeatedly zerg off and thus repeatedly die and then call me a terrible healer because I stick with the group instead of following them like a good little puppy.


Does anyone else only have a naughty list on their Divines?

Does anyone else only have a naughty list on their Divines?

I dont really squelch people, i just let them rant and rave. It really is humorous to me to see how childish they are most of the time. People never give me issues with my healers, i mostly get it for my trappers, cause i am not a person that will buy all the best level gear, i wait till i find it.

[Mastikator]

This is why I play BYOH almost exclusively, even though I welcome healer focused divines and will gladly heal others I just can't stand people who repeatedly bite off more than they can chew.

[FranOhmsford]

Squelch list is a bit glitchy BUT does apply to all toons on a server - So I have no idea how many of the people on my squelch list were squelched by my Clerics.

I do go through the names every coupla months {using MyDDO} and if they're no longer shown on that august site then they come off my list.

Even so: It has been full on at least two occasions!

Most of the time I can't remember why someone is even on my squelch list - But I do know that they would have been put there for a good reason {in my mind at least}.


I've also found myself in groups with a leader who I had on squelch at least twice {embarrassing} - Really strange that even after squelching someone you can not only see their LFMs but apply and be accepted!
And then wonder why they're not replying to anything you say in party chat!
Went thru three quests with one leader before realizing - that person is of course no longer on my squelch list.

[Candela90]

I dont really bother with it.
DDO comminuty is a good one. And during 2 years I only come to meet with 3 jerks. And I remember them more than well. So no need for list.

[Blue100000005]

How do you check this? I tried to but couldnt figure out how to do it.

[Forzah]

I've never had any complaints when pugging on my cleric/fvs. Maybe because I don't let people die :p

[bibliomane]

I don't squelch for gameplay, only for personal behavior and it takes something fairly drastic. I usually don't have any more issues with this on a devine (I have several, levels 2--25,) than on any other toon. People are annoying or not no matter my party role XD I'm a very experienced healer and I know if I'm doing a good or a bad job. Someone blaming me doesn't really upset me because I already know if it was my fault or not.

My policy for dealing with poor gameplay is to remember the name of the toons who wasn't that much fun and to avoid them. If I can no longer remember why I'm avoiding them, they get a 2nd chance. For the players who play very well (or else suck up and tell me how I'm their favorite devine XD,) well I remember that too. Hjeal/buff/removeX priority is: alive people first, currently tanking, whoever is necessary for CC or aggro control, people i like, whoever needs a heal, people that annoy me. I don't mind HJEAL! but it will be more timely if the toon in question earns it by either being good, not annoying, or sucking up enough.

[Symerith]

You know, zergers always seem to be criticized and put down on the forums, but the truth is most zergers who are worth wearing the name do not pug. There are 2 reasons why I do so. First, although I like being helpful and help others get fast xp/pike, most people don't find it fun to run with one because by the time they enter the quest, it's almost done and there's no "questing" for them. Second, I am annoyed that whenever I put an LFM with the terms "farm" and "byoh", people still ask after each completion what we are doing next, or they join and ask for a share, or they simply come in and die.

I do not have the pretention to say those are the two reasons why "true" zergers tend to pug rarily, but they are mine.

Those who run ahead and die are called noobs.

[~Susie1262]

Yes, I have a DNG(do not group) list. I keep it on my friends list with comments that are vague: jerk, needy, whiny, NEVER HIS FAULT, etc. That way, if I forget why I said that, they get a 2nd chance. If someone is enough of a repeat offender that I remember why I said it, I will no longer party with them. This is really, really rare,(3 people so far) as I have a horrible memory. Those people are also bad enough that MOST people on Orien will not group with them, so it really is not much of a problem.

[slarden]

I am not going to judge, but I never felt the need to squelch anyone. There are some people in this game that aren't very friendly/nice, but for the most part I just accept them with flaws and all.

I usually have the opposite problem on my healer - people are giving me pots when I don't need them.

[bartharok]

I never squelch people, but i add them to my "friend" list with an appropriate comment. The only people to get a mention on that list are those that have proved themselves to be beyond hope. Not play-wise, but behaviourally

Yeah I have been soloing (even dual boxing at times which I learned from some folks on Sarlona) and zerging lately primarily because it is the only way our guild can move forward due to decay. It did completely solve our stalling problem and I can see how high end small guilds get to higher levels now.

I do enjoy grouping with people and most of the people I group with like to take the dungeons slow. When I run with them I play at their pace and I enjoy it just as much as when I run with zergers (as you said real zergers not the ones that run ahead and die, aka fools).

I used to accept requests to group (via tells) almost all the time and now I am at about 10%. I used to post a pug for almost all quests now I have stopped doing it entirely so I can run at a more rapid pace. I don't like zerging when I post a pug unless I know the entire group likes to move fast.

[Artrish]

The first cleric i made, i had a naughty list of sorts. I used to try to remember who to avoid. With time, i have learned that the community is too large to avoid people and remember who to avoid so i only keep track of the ones i enjoy grouping with. Nowadays, its just a case of, if the name is familiar, i join in as its likely i remember from a fun quest. When it is hosted by ones i do not recognise, i either enter expecting the worse or jsut choose to run something else.

Knowing the quest well and running in a lot of parties, most times the first 2 skirmishes in a quest will highlight who will complain or end up a soulstone. You can also just let off one burst at the start, just to check what kind of healing amp everyone has. Those that heal 10hp from your burst, you know will go down unless they are great or self suff and the others getting 100hp a burst will likely love your healing as say you are the greatest they have come across.

It really is a huge community though. There is eventualy players and groups of players that press the angry buttons, there are ones that still press my buttons. They wont ever go away so you can choose to not get involved in the scenarios you know will frustrate you. You could even recall out if you know its going to end in them screaming at you. I don't do that often as i usually try to stick out the quest to the end of it if i sign up, but there is the odd ocassion where i am not going to maintain prolonged abuse to do what i feel is in honour, so those times i would recall and get myself into a situation that suits my playing wants from the game.

[WruntJunior]

My squelch list is from pretty much all of my characters, as it's based off of attitudes rather than stupid stuff generally. That said, I'm starting to have to regularly clean my squelch list...the amount of people you can squelch just isn't high enough. :/

Edit: Occasionally in a group I find I have someone squelched...if I don't remember why, I unsquelch them. I like using the squelch list because, if you can't remember someone's name - it's often a good sign that there's no longer a reason to squelch them.

[psykopeta]

i have learned that the community is too large to avoid people and remember who to avoid so i only keep track of the ones i enjoy grouping with.

this

i have some pugs (and vets, and even completionists lol) in my squelch list, the reason is:

-they squelched me (you know that when try to apply to their lfm) cause they are way too pro to tolerate something, dunno what cause they never explain

- one of those annoying bastards who pike all the quest til u need him/her, then denies to act, plain, types "NO" so u have to reform/recall/suicide cause the pug is scared from something, basically you lost your time cause some ******** doesn't know to play, sometimes even they die and stay there till everyone leaves and... yes u're right, invited friends after we worked and he/she piked

- some "heading to completionist" pros, well, at least they think of completionist like a "pro feat" are simply disgusting, i mean, i have 10 lives, im far closer to completionist than them (if i wanted so, not my case ty, maybe triple completionist, and not like an objective, like something that will happen lol, someday) but reading about their skill and achievements and solo and... oh wait, did u die w/o trap and dungeon alert? oh i see, u killed 2 kobolds but the 3rd one killed you... nice, such opposite worlds are quite interesting

then another day i checked the squelch list and say "who's that? and that? *** are they doing here?" and then deleted em all, gonna squelch only while they are in party or sending tells, if not is a waste of diskspace

add friends and squelch everybody you want, but (if you don't want to be squelched cause my 1st reason) remove em after they leave the quest, and remember it: they need you, so you can avoid pugging while being divine, try so XD

[voodoogroves]

I don't squelch for gameplay, only for personal behavior and it takes something fairly drastic.
Same

[Charononus]

I don't squelch, I just don't pug divines anymore. Makes things much much easier.

[FranOhmsford]

How do you check this? I tried to but couldnt figure out how to do it.

type /ignore list - {make chat box as large as it will go}.

Open MyDDO - Type name into box - hit search - If character unavailable or some such appears remove character from ignore list.

continue until you've either removed enough players so you needn't worry about it again for a coupla months OR until you've checked EVERY character on your list!

[ImanCarrot]

And then wonder why they're not replying to anything you say in party chat!

Priceless! sounds like something I'd do :)

[Pape_27]

I only have one name on my "naughty list". It was a person who screwed me over on a deal and then said "Fawk my word".

Otherwise nothing someone does is really worth maintaining a black list over. Yeah people might tick me off. But eventually I will forget what happened. Basically its not worth the effort to maintain such a list imo.

.

[SirValentine]

I don't squelch for gameplay, only for personal behavior and it takes something fairly drastic.


Same.

My squelch list has only 2 names, both from a single incident; details not important, I'm sure the forum would write it off as "just loot drama", though in the real world we'd call the same thing criminal fraud.

I do have a much less formal (not squelch list), and less permanent, list of people I prefer not to group with, just kept in my head. It's basically people who are both 1) rude, and 2) incompetent. I can forgive either alone, but not both combined. :-)

[TempestAlphaOmega]

No squeltch list.

The very few players that have made it to my special friends list (half a dozen) are on my actual friends list with comments that explain why (not that I would ever forget). People have to really work to make this list, be it either bad behavior (note bad game play has to be so bad and include a communication component that makes it obvious that they are actually griefing the party to qualify otherwise bad isn't a real consideration). Understand that most days I am not going to be anoyed by a train wreck and some random persons unjustified complaints of my game play certainly isn't going to bother me.

Of those 6, two have renamed their toons and I havn't seen the others log on in quite some time.

[DoctorWhofan]

I tend not to squelch unless they have horrid personal behaviour. I NEVER squelch over playstyle, unless their personality over writes it.

As a cleric, I have seen many over the years. I have seen many get squelched for the silliest reason, like not knowing the quest, and talking a bit too much. Or they are on hot mic or don't have a mic at all. Guess who I squelch in those situations? :p

In truth, I squelch very few people. I have like 10 actual people on my list...and a whole bunch of plat farmers.

[darthhento]

No naughty lists here.

I just stop healing and watch them die slowly, than leave their soulstones in a lava pit or 11 seconds away from the shrine. This usually makes them drop group, ragequit or put me on their squelch list.

Though bare in mind that I have a pretty big tolerance treshold and these actions are reserved for those special kind of people.

[Mastikator]

Am I the only one who squelches people who spam the general/trade channel? I can easily count 10+ that I've squelched for that over the years.

[dragon2fire]

I don't have a naughty list nope. I have a friends list and run with my friends first. If a pug does run off and die me and my friends monk him if he starts attacking me.

[Hellllboy]

I don't squelch players, but I will add to a Friends list if I classify the player as someone that will come between myself and goal of completion.

A person really has to disrupt a group to be added to this list.

Most of my "Friends" have not logged on in quite some time. I don't think I have added someone to this list in years.

I think this is a combination of being more tollerant and having a more experienced player base (Changes from month to month). :)

[FrancisP.Fancypants]

I have a dozen or so on my squelch list. Being verbally hostile, spamming tells or invites after being asked not to, and the occasional extreme mic issue (i.e. something that would cause me to turn around and walk away from you in a public place).

I'm a lot quicker to put a player on my friends list with details. I can still group with that toon, but I know exactly what to expect.

[smeggy1384]

I've always been more than happy to put people on my squelch list if they are spamming a channel (a jumble of letters in general taking up 5-6 lines repeatedly as one recent example) or advertising for plat selling or powerleveling type services (both of which i report prior to squelching).

Once in a while someone from a group makes it to my squelch list. For whatever reason i put them there they deserve it.. this is not someone i intend to ever group with again, in any of my characters lives, nor do i intend to ever give them any further thought. They just aren't worth it.

Every few months i go through and clean out the lists.. if i happen to remember why a name is there they stay. Anyone who gets removed and re-added down the road i am more likely to remember to not remove, though not sure i have ever run across that problem in this game.

[myliftkk]

Never had to squelch anyone. Never had anyone demand "hjeals" either. Maybe just my experience, but most people on the server I frequent at level 20-25 know their basic stuff (I spend very little time at <20 levels). Some better than others, but very few people die and ask for anything (most apologize).

I've received stacks of pots and scrolls for healing (though I hardly ever down a pot healing a PUG).

[taurean430]

I have a naughty list, yes.

Haven't had to add anyone to it permanently for about a year or so. This was accomplished by making my divines and support toons unavailable to the type of player I would add through other means.

I have been known though to send a tell to inform them/or type it in party chat and temp squelch someone until the quest/raid is done. I still do this without hesitation for:

Mouth breathers, chain coughers, and insanely loud folks who use an open mic.

Those who think they are taking me to task for dying or needing constant support while blatantly ignoring my instructions in my groups repeatedly.

People who think they can argue with me endlessly when I put up an lfm specifying exactly what quest/difficulty with the hope that I will change everything to do something else that they want.

Someone talking over the party lead constantly to the point that it's difficult to understand instructions.

[arkonas]

most people are usually fine. honestly you rarely have trouble. There are just sometimes when you pug there is that one person who drives you nuts. I dont use my friends list for squelching. I dont want them to contact me. i know most people's toons because they use the same name. If its notorious from a guild i have had issues with then im cautious who i let in from that guild.

i do laugh at some of the forum people who say they never had issues when you look right in here and you see people have had issues. So its just denial running around for some.

i had an instance when i was doing cabal for one with a sorc. They kept running their mouth about their dps and kills. it was a fleshy sorc who kept saying what you didnt clear the room yet? So finally when we caught up to him he had died because he took in more then he could chew. of course my response to him was snarky and asked why isnt everything dead? lol this type of behavior i encounter from time to time. I also have started to encounter people who melee everything but the enemy. If i noticed they did that all through out the dungeon i normally just let them go and not squelch them.

here is the best one. Doing diplomatic impunity on elite at level. Rogue who has like 150ish hp wants to go afk before the scout. i get him to wait until after it. So go through wildman village not fighting just to blast through. He comes back complaining that we didnt do the chest and we did it all wrong. I had to remind him it was my party and if he wanted the chest make his own lfm. All he did the entire time was complain. he added nothing to the party but whining. Sure i wasnt on a divine at the time but these are types of players we have on argo. this is just a small amount too.

[MnaSidhe]

I have only squelched two people up until now. One was a cleric that just watched us die in a quest, then left... and one was on my cleric... a piker that ran to the top of the CC shaft and just waited for us to finish the rest of the quest.

I've never really had abuse as a healer... but then I don't pug very often.

[Burtle]

I had at one time filled my entire squelch list (to the point of capacity) when I had a divine (cleric/fvs),

Since then I have cleaned out my list of the total of 56people (that weren't gold spammers/email scammers from years ago)

Now, I just don't play divine's, and I haven't had that problem ever since.

[Kmnh]

I don't like naughty lists.

Multiplayer games are all about communication. Tell the party: "heals are on X, don't wander too far off him" and follow X around. X can be you if you are confident enough to set a good pace for the party, otherwise pick the most experienced player, or the party leader.

Remember to tell you target to run away when he needs to. No healer can keep 20 elite trolls from killing a barbarian that stands still.

[illusion28]

I rarely squelch with my healers, what I usually do is add the people as friends and make a comment on their toon: "Never to play again" or "Remind him/her to always stay near group" "Let die and carry to a point"... works better for me, and because of this I've gotten a big number of squelches :P (on me).

[Postumus]

My squelch list is from pretty much all of my characters, as it's based off of attitudes rather than stupid stuff generally. That said, I'm starting to have to regularly clean my squelch list...the amount of people you can squelch just isn't high enough. :/

Funny, I think I have only ever squelched two people in three years.

I'm just curious on this one, Typically on a blue bar class I say everyone follow me after the giant cube and run back the way we came and avoid going to the shrine again if everyone has allready used it(blue bars that is) if the blue bars have allready used it there is no reason imo to go thru the extra tunnels and mobs by going back to the shrine. That said (this is even when I'm leading the group) 90% of people still run to the shrine and I end up standing at the top of the shaft waiting for everyone to catch up so that we can all do the final fight.

[Ryiah]

Outside of temporary cases (mic too loud and refusing to fix it) I don't squelch individuals. I do squelch entire guilds. It takes a lot to make it but generally amounts to being unable to fulfill your role in the group and, here is the key part, refusing to learn. I'll give advice and even gear. If you're unwilling to listen, and your guild buddies are largely the same, your guild is blacklisted. To date there are three guilds on that list and, despite some of them being on there for some time, only a single player has ever shown a measure of capability from one of them.

The person in question did not (as far as I noticed) join in fighting the cube. The person in question did not communicate at all... I just suddenly noticed that he was not with us.
The lack of communication was the main thing that got on my nerves enough to add a second person to my squelch list! There are surely many reasons why someone has to go idle/pike in a quest... but running around with the scaling from a 6th person in elite CC (a quest I really hate) was just too much.

Does anyone else only have a naughty list on their Divines?

First, how do you know that you are the only healer that squelches people? I'm betting a lot of healer toons do that.

Secondly, I'll never forget the few runs I had not too long ago where my pally was being cussed-out for not healing a bunch of (really, really bad) zergers. Ummm..it's a paladin who has about 100 SP, maybe a couple LoH and a Cure Minor Wounds spell on tap, and you're looking to me for healing? We weren't even a third of the way through the quest, and they all had several deaths to their name.

half of the time, after they got up, I was looking around trying to find them. They'd zap off to the next encounter and then die. I'm like, "where in the h*ll are you guys?"

They got...squelched...quickly.

So, take that for what it is worth.

[Ushurak]

Ok, Gotta ask...are you on Argo server because I was in a group where the 1st incident you describe I know for a fact happened in a group I was in (My sorc is a bot...so I wasn't the fleshy dead guy btw :D)...could be just coincidence...

The second incident sounds VERY familiar as well....

The chances of me being in both of those groups are slim to none but ....stranger things have happened.

[Qhualor]

my list is broken. it says Friends. maybe i have to play a divine to have a naughty list? :D

[smeggy1384]

First, how do you know that you are the only healer that squelches people? I'm betting a lot of healer toons do that.



Chances are that was meant as in of their characters it is only while on the divine they run across behavior that causes them to squelch someone rather than their divine is the only one in the game who squelches for whichever reason.

Can't say i have ever personally witness someone griping at a healer over voicechat (which i always have off), but if you are not the healer do you pay attention to what they say to the healer? Maybe folks just generally don't notice what is said to the others in the group so long as the one under fire is not them.

Back when i played Dark Age of Camelot and ran my own groups i always had and enforced a no drama rule. Someone got to nagging my healer or anyone else they got the boot and very rarely a chance at returning, but back then i always kept a list of who i ran with and would always send folks on the list a message when forming a group. It was about community, we had external enemies, we had internal allies (guilds and alliances of guilds), folks knew eachother and were generally pretty well behaved. There was an outlet for any aggression, just go to the battlegrounds and knock around some enemies from another realm.

In DDO you just have pugs(unless you're running with a guild or friends already, but i am betting this is the view out of the newer folks who may not make it beyond the harbor).. See a group on the list and click to join, be nice or a jerk.. Who cares.. tons of other groups out there and its not like they can boot mid-quest for your poor performance or even lack of any performance. And with dungeon scaling it almost seems they discourage grouping in this game.

[mobrien316]

I only have one name on my squelch list. I joined this guy's group and as soon as I did all I could hear was his music blasting. I couldn't hear what he was saying and I had to type. After a couple of minutes (he wanted to wait for a full group and there were only the two of us) I asked him if he planned to keep the music blasting throughout the quest, or if he would stop when we started. He wrote that he liked to keep the music going. I (very politely) told him I thought this probably wasn't the group for me and I dropped.

He sent me so many nasty tells over the next five minutes that I finally squelched him just so I wouldn't have keep getting his tells. He seemed like such a d-bag I just left him on squelch.


That's it for my squelch list.

[Vengenance]

Bad/Rude players make my friend's list with some comment explaining why the made my list.

People who are generally annoying, loud, or feel they need to speak constantly throughout a quest make my squelch list. These may be good players but if they're making my ears bleed then I squelch them.

[wildbynature]

In 11 months of playing, I have only squelched 2 people, and I wasn't playing a divine when either incident happened. I'm a female, and I tend to run with friends and talk over mic. I'm rather friendly with the people that I know outside of ddo, and we enjoy witty banter, but there's a point where you cross over from witty banter and get into creepy territory. Both people that I squelched were also reported for talking about hacking my computer and coming to my house.

If I ever run into someone with a chip on their shoulder while playing any of my divines, there is always another member of my party there who takes up for me before I feel the need to take up for myself.

Wow hadn't seen anything along those lines in years. The GMs in the only game i ever encountered such in took it very serious and after reviewing the chat logs went with immediate and permanent bans. I'd hope turbine has a similar policy and is willing to quickly enforce it in such a case.

Well I would've encountered that kind of behavior no matter what class I was playing. That was my point anyway, but I don't think people like that play this game for too long anyway. The community isn't very tolerant of stuff like that, and I'm pretty certain the devs won't tolerate it either.

I have both naughty and good lists that I keep track of in my head. The only problem is I often confuse them and find myself stuck with the people I would rather have avoided.

[FranOhmsford]

Yeah I kinda experienced that too, some people are just so fatherlike they don't count past arguments or struggles.. acknowledging this is a game and we are all here to have fun and such. Sometimes tho I can never forgivr someone but I find myself very sissy doing so. And I am embarrassed. some people are just so cool

Fatherlike? Daddy issues Ssource?


I have on my squelch lists:

Many many PvP trash talkers from the Harbours of all servers except Wayfinder.

Griefers.

People who decided to send me nasty tells about my LFMs.

One person who decided to decline me and invite a guildie after a Epic Chrono reform {someone had started the raid before half the party were in} - Before the Expansion!

One person who booted a Caster from a VoN 3 Farm for not having 200+ hp at Lvl 10! Then the very next day I joined his GH Walkup farm and made it out there just in time to reach the end fight as they completed and got killed by the fire elementals that had been left alive as everyone released.
Of course I release and rather than wasting mine and his time trying to get back out there from 3 Barrel Cove {where I'd been bound for 10 levels!} left group.
Even at this point I hadn't squelched that guy - He got squelched maybe 5 minutes later after I joined a Vol Farm on the same character - 1st person to join - asked leader if he was waiting for more {was told no} - started running thru Necro - Got booted - sent a tell asking why - got a tell back with a copy paste of this other leader saying "that Rogue is a Bad!"

Oh yes - That Vol farm leader also made my squelch list that day!

Ah - And my personal Bugbear - Fav Souls who refuse to heal - I've squelched quite a few of these in the almost 3 years I've been playing this game {some Clerics too!}!

My actual squelch list is kinda light. I've squelched several invite spammers, who repeatedly sent party invites to one character or another despite me repeatedly declining, and /telling them to leave me alone. I think about 5 people.

My DNG list is on my gaming notebook, and has about 13 people. The guy who went off on a screaming rage when the WF FvS looted the Encrusted that dropped for said FvS for example, or the guy who started cursing about "red chinese jews" at a Cleric who had just joined the pug group I was in.

I do not have the pretention to say those are the two reasons why "true" zergers tend to pug rarily, but they are mine.

Those who run ahead and die are called noobs.

This is soooooooo true.
