The most awful thing you've ever actually done to someone during online play

[Single Shot]

Rising Storm as an American Flamethrower Infantryman, I mean it's impossible NOT to burn half your team to death with one of those, but my biggest dick move came when we were losing the last point on Iwo as the defenders to a mass kamikaze charge. About seven of use were in the zone but we were dying fast, all twelve japs were there too. I burned everyone in that bunker indiscriminately and didn't stop to feel bad as my own commander (a friend I know IRL) put six bullets in my chest. The last thing I did while bleeding out was turn around and burn him too.

We kept the point for another five minutes apparently, the server auto-kicked me for friendly fire.

One day on WoW I saw a quest item and I saw someone else was going for the same thing but they were in a fight that was close to it. I was a scumbag and I stole the quest item and ran. I felt bad! I know, it was just one item. But they were edging towards it, making it clear it was theirs. And I took it anyway like an awful scumbag.

Another time on WoW in the horde city Orgrimmar there was a human rogue who seemed really happy and pleased with themselves that they managed to sneak in and were unseen. Then I came along and I killed them.

Other than that, if it counts, I was very polite on League of Legends once. It shocked many and I got flamed to hell for it. But I got through and carried the team to victory through being polite. Sometimes the worst thing you can do to someone on League is disarm their flaming by being polite and taking away their chance to get their anger issues out.

Yeah... I'm too nice it seems. I've never done anything really bad to people in online games.

Nothing too big, I don't like having a jerk do annoying stuff to me, so I don't do the same. Though one time in a Halo match, this one teammate thought it was hilarious to melee me whenever he could, not to kill me, just to irritate me. So my plan in that game was to follow him around and help the enemy team finish him off when he started attacking someone. I didn't care about getting kills anymore, I just wanted to make sure he wouldn't get any himself.

The worst thing I have ever done?
Probably playing EVE and shooting and unsuspecting people in lowsec. But as long as I get such delicious tears out of it I won't do anything else:

I will hunt you you son of a ***** ......... and be glad that you only met me ingame ..........

Someday I'll get you. Forget not. You only have one live and it is perishable........

From today you will have no peace. You can ignore me but not my hate. I will get you.........

p.s. If you should pay for my damage I will give you free

Spoiler: original in german

ich werde dich jagen du hurensohn.........und sei froh dass mich nur im spiel getroffen hast.......

irgendwabb bist du dran. Vergiss nicht. Du hast auch nur ein Leben und es ist vergänglich..........

ab heute hast du keine Ruhe mehr von mir. Du kannst mich ingnorieren aber nicht meinen Hass. ich kriege dich....................

p.s. solltest du mein schaden begleichen gebe ich dich frei

I guess some people take internetz spaceshipz too serious

This wasn't me, but my friend who I played WoW with for years tells me he was in a pug for Underbog back when Burning Crusade was relevant, and they had a paladin tank, I believe, who he says was just absolutely dismal. Could not hold aggro, keyboard turning, slower than molasses, just abysmal playing.

So, fed up with having this guy make his run take hours, at the end of the run my friend decides to go to town on him because his mood had soured, barraging him with an onslaught of insults, ranging from, "You are the worst fucking paladin I have ever seen in my entire life," to "You should literally delete the character, because it is so worthless." Having vented, he decided to friend the guy's character later to apologize that he lost his cool.

"THIS CHARACTER DOES NOT EXIST."

Poor bastard deleted his character because of my friend.

I generally don't troll for reasons, but I have a friend who trolls in very unique ways. When we play LOL he will look at the people in the game, choose whoever he thinks has the dumbest name, and while the game loads look up their user name and try to figure out their personal details. Nothing too deep, just a couple of things specific enough that it will look like first hand knowledge. Things like a first name, nick name or hobbies, and recent large public events they have attended. He then proceeds to pretend to have met them somewhere. "Dude! John! Long time no see, how is the skateboarding going?" It is really funny to watch their reactions. Some people are confused, others pretend they know who he is, and some just freak out. A surprisingly small number figure out that he just googled their name. We have gotten into the habit of give honor to those guys that call him on it.

The key to this is being polite and kind. If you are rude then people will just dismiss and ignore you. But people don't know how to react to random and seemingly sincere kindness.

The reason I say this is the worst thing we do online is because some people are really freaked out. It doesn't sound that bad, and it really isn't, but while it might only be a small cut it is deep. You can be a real jerk on the internet but to a certain kind of person the worst thing you can do is tear down the wall of anonymity. That makes things personal.

For the last few months that I played cod I spent pretty much every second of gameplay just trying to piss people off. I only had black ops 2 for a few months before I decided I was totally bored of the series so I figured I would get my moneys worth. I followed one guy called DinoCaps around for a few days in hardcore flash banging and stunning him every chance I could while I was on his team and then proceeding to play my very best any time I was put on the other team. I found that not using a mic while doing this works really well because the victim gets no reaction from you. They have nobody to take out their anger on. DinoCaps: status=last online 132 days ago.

I started kill-stealing from some guy in Chivalry: Medieval Warfare...but that was only after he decided it would be fun to start killing me...which only happened after I accidentally killed him...Most of my dick moves probably come from misunderstandings.

 

[Quadocky]

Hah. Hahah. I do not recall any instance of me doing awful things to others Online. ...

Then again now that I think about it, I would always abuse the vehicles in games like Halo or Unreal Tournament 2004. But that was more out of "BLAAAH THIS GAME IS BORING AND HARD, IMMA DRIVE THIS WAY WEEEEE" kind of things.

 

[Clowndoe]

Just a disclamer: I only did this because it was a friend I did it to.

I was playing Killing Floor with my usual crew, but we were playing on "hard" to relax (which is babby difficulty for us). There are these creatures called Fleshpounds in the game. They typically walk slowly, until someone starts shooting them, then they go nuts and charge you at 3x your running speed. Even if you're specialised in killing big guys at the time, if the Fleshpound is already enraged when you start shooting at it you're probably fucked.

We were kiting a bunch of enemies when one of these monsters shows up, clearly fixed on my friend. Knowing he's not equipped to kill it himself (although I was) he backed up slowly probably expecting me to deal with it. Instead I fired my crossbow at it and got it pissed off so it charged down my mate and killed him. I did that a couple of times that game. QQs were had all around.

Back in good old original Everquest, I'd use Invisibility to tail groups and ninja their loot. Also, while playing Dark Souls I've invaded people in Blight Town. In Demon's Souls I'd invade in the -3 or -4 areas until I found someone afk and then Soulsucker them down to level one.

Aaaand that's about it.

Aaaah, Demon's Souls has such great trolling tools. Coincedentally my most scumbag moment is from Dark Souls. Made a low level darkwraith, so already in asshole territory, invaded in the depths. Found this guy afk who must've just started the game (because he's afk in body form in dark souls) anyway I drained all his humanity and kicked him into the basilisk pit to get cursed ( It took forever but have fun respawning at half health!) At that point in the game it's a long, annoying trek back to Oswald the Pardoner to get uncursed, not to mention that not too many people even know he sells curse cures, especially not new players.

However I like to think that this player threw himself against the New Londo Ruins time and time again in a desperate bid to make it to Ingward after having read the wiki.

Frenzy trains in lower guk, or even just saying it gets a ton of people to vacate most of the zone. Specter trains in the Oasis, Giant trains in east karana.

Remember Everquest? That game was basic training on teaching you how to be a dick to people in MMO's.

 

[JaceArveduin]

Hmm... I'd have to say demo rushing a friend of mine in one of our FFA's on BFME2. 5 minutes in, he has two demos wrecking his base, and about the time it falls, a battlewagon comes through and squashes his last builder.

Needless to say, he was raging quite hard that night.

Excluding leaving/ logging off a party including both during and fail party/ mission, I did messed up a Guild Bounty in Guild Wars 2.

A guild bounty a simply a guild related activity that involve finding and capturing a bounty in selected maps in the game. My pervious experience (The Escapist Guild is too inactive and small to have a bounty) is that anyone can join in a Guild Bounty even when you're not a guild memeber and it usually involved getting that bounty health to 0 however this wasn't the case I was on.

I saw a bounty and thinking of my previous experience of it, I hoped in however this foe health wasn't going down and I notice not everyone in that guild were attacking it.

It was only when some random guild person told me to stop but it was too late (all bounties have a timer) which somehow my involvement had failed that bounty (no idea how exactly).

Either way while I did feel bad about it but on the other hand I did had a moment of that Trololo song brin played in my head.

The female merchant also sells you the Curse purging stones. Was still a pain in the arse to leave the depths and go back again

Playing WoW with my sister @IndomitableSam, if we wanted to farm certain mobs and someone else already was, one of us would challenge them to a duel for the farming rights if they were alliance as well.

We'd then proceed to flag in the middle of the match, and the other one of us would ambush that player and destroy them. Mage/Rogue combo was pretty powerful.

That was kinda terrible.

You two are bad and you should feel bad... I camped those areas as A paladin, then spawn camped them if they tried to rez. If they brought friends I just got some of mine to come hang out. They were mostly rogues so they would be stealthed so when I revived They would stun him to shit and I would kill him. Having rogue friends was fun

If making a kid cry in front of like 3 of his friends counts I have that too, A few years ago me and my buddy were playing Halo 3 I think it was. Was a kid with the gamer tag PlaysLikeAChamp was making fun of my tag Issurru and my buddies was Dommius, saying that they were stupid and shit like that, just being a typical 12 year old douche. I made sure to kill him over 20 times in a single match Then berated him in chat afterwards. He left crying, it was great

Way back when I actually played competitive games online... I think the only one I could ever have really been considered dickish in was an Unreal Tournament mod called Tactical Ops (basically a Counter Strike ripoff running in a better game engine)... but that was just me knowing a bunch of secret passageways in the maps I favored. I shot a lot of people in the back, and I was regularly the only survivor on my "team" (had no concept of teamwork in gaming at the time) for long stretches.

 

[Combustion Kevin]

I played Tiny in DOTA 2, basicly a walking mountain man of sorts, and another of my teammates picked sniper.

I kept throwing his ass into danger, prefferably the enemy spawn pit.

 

[Dethenger]

I don't even kill NPCs in Bethesda games, never mind actually wanting to grief real people.

The worst thing I ever did to anybody is suddenly having to leave, particularly in a team environment. Exiting a Halo match, turning off my console in the middle of Dark Souls co-op, etc., because something came up.

 

[Eve Charm]

eh probably being a dick but I've had way to much fun preventing people from getting easy wins on banjo kazooie nuts and bolts online. Months ago and still probably now the only reason people would go on was to usually grind out the MP achievements and being someone that was Really damn good and I'll still claim to have some of the best made things for the online events tried and tested ;p they'd never have an chance.
