Smallest thing online players annoy you with?

[Don't taze me bro]

People in first person shooters who complain everytime they die.

1st death. 'Wtf'.
2nd death. 'Camp more idiot'.
3rd death. Lol (insert any weapon - ie Famas) tard.
4th death. OP (insert class here - ie sniper). Play a real class.
5th death. f%^& off with the hacks.

You get the idea. People need to accept that death is a part of the game, take personal responsibility, and accept they got outplayed.

People jumping ship in a Halo match because they are on a losing team. It makes a losing, but manageable situation into a massacre once the team gets too small. I'm sure some of them would leave for legit reasons, but you could tell it mostly because they didn't want to stick around to lose.

The worst part of this is the snowball effect.

You are losing, so one complete and utter asshole quits.

Then someone else notices that you are losing and one man down and, like a complete asshole, quits.

Then a team mate notices how crappily your team is doing, and that you are two men down so he decides to be an asshole and quit.

The next dude is even less of an asshole. What was a tough match is now unwinnable with three people fucking off, so he isn't sticking around for that shit.

And before you know it your team (if there is anything left of it) is so hilariously outnumbered and behind that it would be stupid NOT to quit.

One of the things that make my blood boil are people who let everyone in the game let everyone know absolutely everything about their life. Along the lines of 'I did this, with that person last night' and go into detail about it. Yes its lovely that you did something, no Im not envious and Ive literally gone 'Im sorry..Im all out of f's to give but you can ask another, to see if they have any spare for you.' I understand there is of course a social aspect in guilds, knowing eachother better and the other various things but still...I dont want to hear -in detail- about what you do and how you do it.

I guess another thing that irks me would be people that gloat with their experience in any online game, be it an RPG, FPS, RTS..any other type. Yes Im happy for you, yes I do believe your a good player, just please stop telling me round the clock every single time you get on how far you got in this area, what you did 5 years ago, why your tactics in that were so far superior to everyone elses. These are usually also the type of people, who for the life of themselves cannot adapt to new tactics or ways whatsoever.

'Well in my old guild, we did it this way.'
"kk, but we are not in your old guild..and here..we do it this way"
'Well, the way we did it when (goes into long drawn story about how it took so and so long for everyone to understand it and they finally made it and oh btw, they were the first on the server, and the best..and the fastest...'
"Ok, thats lovely, but by now we've all done this like 10 times or so, and everyone found this to be the most simple way."
'yeah but, (goes into another story)

^-----it makes my blood boil

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

I play a lot of league and it annoys me when people spam chat with useless shit. It's a team game so you have to pay attention to what your team types, so when they're giving me a play by play of "DARN ALMOST GOT HIM" or typing dumb crap like "IM A BEAR RAWR XD" it's obnoxious. I don't mind one or two comments but if they're just a constant stream of it it really grinds me.

Granted there are much more worse things that people do, but that ones a pet peeve.

 

[Dandark]

But character intros are so cool! I'll watch yours if you watch mine! To be honest character intros in BlazBlue especially are one of the highlights of the whole game for me. Tell me the intros between two NOL members isn't really freakin' badass.

Though if you have a Lambda-11 in the game i'll grant you an exception... They're all so long and don't really go anywhere. Although a Lambda/Mu fight has like a 15 second opening if you let it run, I like that one, They take the time to speak robot to each other and throw plot words around.

"Dimensional Boundary Interface Mu, confirmed. Target data... Corrupted"

"Dimensional Boundary Interface Link, Number Eleven. Anti Sankishin Core Unit Lambda... Confirmed"

I've seen about two other people who let this run. You people can't appreciate a good opening can you?

I love the Blazblue openings

I'll usually always let them run just because I like them, Hakumen/valk are my favourite characters and I usually always let the openings run just because it makes the game so much more fun. The upcoming Chronophantasma looks to have really good openings, Ragna and Terumi pretty much have a fight on their own before it starts.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

I am mildly irked when new terms appear in games. I hate seeing words like 'pwn', 'noob', '1337', 'no scope' or 'hax'. It is an abomination to the English language, and just shows a lack of maturity and a diminishing use of further, actual creative words.

It seems to be spreading into more geeky aspects of the gaming environment, which is most dissapointing. As a community we are usually considered to be a bit more savvy when it comes to intelligence, but we arn't doing ourselves any favours adopting such ghastly abominations to our daily lingo!

 

[Rack]

Mass Effect 3 low n7 ratings with crap weapons think their entitled to being carried by the team. Let me remind you that mass effect 3's multiplayer has things on it's easiest level that could bring down your shield In less than 3 seconds, and oh and you cant take cover because back then that was what people did,and bioware got mad that people were successful-your not going to pay for micro-transactions on a game your good at. It's insane, then they call me an elitist for stating that, and or kicking them. Sorry but in the game your weapons, and health, and level DO matter as you can't dodge crap in this game, your always exposed, and if you try to bring down an enemy with a pea shooter you become more exposed.

Rant over.

This. I mean it's not a small thing to rage at people and insist they can't play in your treehouse but honestly absolutely every damn online game out there is forcing this kind of behaviour. If you haven't already played 80 gazillion hours then fork over £200 or get lost. I'd like to be able to play a game like Mass Effect multiplayer, it's a cool concpet but so rife with grind to win and pay to win that it really isn't viable. And I can't call out Mass Effect because every single multiplayer game out there is exactly the same.

Agreed, and it sucked to be on the other team too. There is no fun in being able to gang up on one or two helpless players. I remember I would stop fighting and go hide somewhere till the match was over because it felt so wrong and unsatisfying.

It just ruined the whole experience overall.

 

[Rariow]

The logical inconsistency of someone calling me a "noob" when I'm beating them. So, I'm a newbie, therefore I'm not particularly good at the game, and I'm beating you, a seasoned pro. What does that say about you?

The TF2 community's irrational hate for F2P players. These constitute large amount of the population, I was one myself for a couple years, and they're usually just as good if not better than the P2P players. There's literally no difference except for their character models looking cleaner and less full of aesthetic crap than P2P players.

People in Hearthstone who choose to answer my "greetings" with a "threaten". This is the equivalent of me walking up to you and saying "hi" and you answering me with "fuck you, you prick".

 

[laggyteabag]

Host migration. Oh my, host migration. I mean wow. Remember in Call of Duty 4 where if the host were to leave the game, the game would just end? Or how about Halo where if a person left, the game would black out for two minutes straight? Or in Ghost Recon where if the host were to leave, the map would reset? Yeah. I hate host migration.

 

[DMShade]

Oh Boy, Here we go.

I have a high voice, and most of my peeves stem from it.

Don't insist I speak/threaten to punt me if I don't speak, then make fun of my voice when I do. This is going to encourage me to speak up the next time...how, exactly?
Don't try to guess my age, you're always off by an insulting amount.
My high voice does not make me gay. Attraction to men makes me gay. And I'm sure as hell not attracted to immature boys like you.

Other people have gravel-road-for-the-eyes names like xXxL3EtAsSaSsIN420xXx or something done in my mother's shorthand. My name is two or three simple words/names, spelled properly and not written out funny. So why can you say everyone else's right on voice and I'm just "The Canadian" because of the flag next to my name?

There is a difference between 'first timer' and 'flaming idiot'. How am I supposed to learn, grow and love a game if I never get to play because you punt me for being new?

 

[Siege_TF]

Generally;
People
who
post
or
chat vertically really annoy me. Could be a Facebook thread or the chat log in League. The enter key is not the spacebar!

League-specific;
Early quitters. I've come back in league games with a half-dead nexus and no enemy Inhibitors destroyed. Its' not so much a counter-push as a Falcon Punch in the enemy team's collective faces, but that doesn't stop people from occasionally trying to quit because Christ-onna-stick we lost two turrets and it's the twenty minute mark.

Scrooges; individuals who refuse to buy wards because they NEED every. last. penny. for. gear. Nevermind that it's the fourth time they've been ganked because our team is in a defensive position, we have no map awareness, and I've already placed my three wards. Finishing the next item is important!

 

[Shinsei-J]

Constantly jumping!
You're not making yourself go any faster in almost every game these days and you just break my immersion.
GOD DAMN IT! Horses don't move like that and nether do people.
Just roll you freaking ankle already.

 

[Lrbearclaw]

If you play the Old Republic, you know there are heroics and flashpoints that serve the same purpose as dungeons in WoW. The difference is that some of the these have major stories attached to them that you participate in with dialogue and story options like other TOR quests. Of course, like WoW, almost every player I group with for these flashpoints feels the need to rush through like they're marathoning the damn dungeon. This means that when we come to those scenes where the story is being fleshed out, I keep getting bitched for not wanting to skip the story. Like the experience and loot are the only good things to take away from the experience. Pisses me off to no end. One of the main reasons I play TOR is for the feeling of roleplay, that moment when a sith walks out lightsaber drawn and singles your jedi out of the group as a challenge that is finally worth his mettle. These assholes want to skip moments like that so they can get the flashpoint done and over with to move on to the next one. Fuck that.

Agreed. Now, when I do repeats of the Flashpoint I DO skip the cutscene for other people but NEVER the first time through.

Never.

 

[Remus]

Playing a game with RPG elements and the other player(s) spend more time in a menu/shop than in combat.

Conversely, players who grab every quest they can find then spam chat with questions about those quests summed up by "I didn't read the text. So tell me what to do." I don't help these people with their ignorance if they won't take the second or two to read. One of the major challenges with game developers is adding variety to quests beyond fetch, kill, collect, or escort, made harder by players who won't read the directions they are given.

*RandomStranger3256 has invited you to join a guild. Would you like to join?*
*RandomUser42 has invited you to join a group. Would you like to join?*

If your first interaction with me is a group request (and not of the "lfg for___" variety) then I don't want anything to do with you. Worse still is when someone adds you to their friends list and starts PMing you to group up...which you accept to be nice...then you realize that they wanted to group up just for the sake of grouping up and are on a completely different in-game continent to boot. No goal, no quest plans, just wanted to group up. If you're going to do that, take me off your friend list. Now.

This goes doubly for whenever somebody starts asking you to join their guild. "Oh hey, I know our first interaction was in this dungeon run, but you want to join my guild?" No, I do not. And don't bother trying to talk me into it, that will just make me angry. I'll be honest, the only purpose I see in a guild system is that it effectively streamlines the process of making a friends list, and that only holds true when you actually know your guild mates. You want me to join because we completed one quest together? Yeah...no. I don't know you and just because of that nearly flippant guild request I don't like you. It's not quite as bad as seeing "Guild X is looking for new members" spammed in General chat, but for me it's close.

lol ok I et that a bit but my pet peeve is if im in an area doing the same dam quest as the guy next to me to kill a limited number of guys and I offer to group with them and they don't even respond. Im sorry but at that point I just make it my mission to be a dick to them by tagging everything they attack. Now I don't do this if they at least say I don't want to group up when I send the request.(I do message them when I invite)

 

[Shadow-Phoenix]

At the moment? Russians in Dota 2 that can't speak English, or, at least refuse to.

Same goes for any game that uses US and Uk absed servers, I was playing Contagion earlier on today and a bunch of them hopped onto a Uk server I was on, started gibbering in Russian and spoke so little if any English and it annoys me ever so much when people of different languages join English based servers to talk their own language, it's practically insulting and rude really.

I don't play MMOs which I assume this sorta thing comes from, however this sounds ...REALLY annoying. The hell are you doing if you're playing like that? ...Well I say that but likely playing another game on a phone/handheld while they run around.

 

[Caiphus]

In MMOs, ninjaing quest objectives. That would really make my blood boil. It reeks of "My time is more valuable than yours".

And while that may be the case, it was very rude of them to point it out in such a passive-aggressive fashion. Shame on them.
