There are hundreds of custom made courses, and in this one there used to be an exploit where you could skip most of the lap by driving through the wall, but now the track creator has updated it: I like the concept, but the entire tone seems kind of petty.

Is there much opportunity for amusing (or even lame) Left 4 Dead 2 griefs any more? Vocalize key binding and the elevator glitch have been patched out for a while. Fortunately, helping my teammates through the first 2 stages of No Mercy then blowing us all up in a shower of rubble when we hit the gas station continues to be quite hilarious, albeit time consuming.

Dillbag posted:Is there much opportunity for amusing (or even lame) Left 4 Dead 2 griefs any more? Vocalize key binding and the elevator glitch have been patched out for a while. The Vocalize command was so much fun in L4D1. You could bind any voice clip in the game to a button, even clips from different campaigns. Certain clips caused other characters to speak, regardless of their position on the map. For example, one clip for Zoey was this: "I guess Riverside couldn't hold out." This cause Louis to respond: "If we get to the river, we can find a boat!" The person playing Louis had no control over his characters line, so anyone not paying attention would wonder why the hell Louis was looking for a boat at the airport. This also had another use. On the third map of "Death Toll", you have a conversation with a man sealed up in a church. He goes crazy and rings a bell, summoning a hoard of zombies. You probably know what comes next. If you used a bind to start that conversation ANYWHERE on the map, the zombies would show up. My favorite thing to do was play the line in the starting safe room, cancel it with a laugh, and hope nobody noticed that there was a suspicious amount of zombies rushing the door. Once we got to the end I'd make someone else start the event and take in their reaction as the door swung open without any zombies showing up. Nobody ever caught on.

Beatnik-Filmstar posted:Ahhh. Didn't know if there was perhaps some stat that increased the longer you were alive or something like that - making turning on some sort of god mode and going afk beneficial. Unfortunately it's nothing this simple - GfWL has some sort of terrible, terrible matchmaking where, due to the way the P2P connections are made, it's nigh impossible to invade somebody if you've only just logged in. It's not even a gameplay feature, it's just GfWL being poo poo. The best griefing in Dark Souls is being a member of a group (called Covenants) called the Gravelord Servants. The premise of this group is using a specific reagent to "infect" the worlds of three other players with stronger versions of area monsters. For example, there's a city about halfway through the game called Anor Londo populated by some rather powerful Silver Knights - but if your world has been infected, the number of Silver Knights is doubled, and the extra knights gained from the infection have more health, armor, speed and damage than their non-infection counterparts. They're also glowing red and black, and I'm pretty sure they're a little bit larger, too. There's also a new DLC area that came out about a month and a half ago. This area contains a powerful miniboss called the Chained Prisoner, who has a gigantic rhinoceros horn on his head and carries a large cinder brick around on a chain. If he hits you with either, it will take off the majority of your HP. Recall the above statement regarding the strength of infection monsters (it's higher). Upon being infected, three infected Chained Prisoners spawn. One is in the same room as the original Chained Prisoner, so you have to fight two of them at once (fighting two things at once in Dark Souls is exponentially more difficult than fighting one). Another two spawn in a very dark cave below this area, which is also populated by enemies which deal damage when they come into contact with you (so blocking isn't going to do poo poo) and a spellcaster who will take off your entire health bar with a single spell if you don't block or avoid his attacks. Have fun!

So this little bit of fun comes from when Darkfall was first released. At the time I was with this guild that moved over from AoC called SCUM, and they were a bunch of fun folks. We all started off as Mahrim (dog like dudes) got our game bearings and then went to the Orc part of the map. Everyone was still a newb so the starter towns were teeming with players. And then the fun began. We got our block up, and the spell that would push people back (gonna call it force push, cause I don't remember the name of it), and stood by the bank in one of the Orc starter cities, someone would force push other players into the lava below. They'd try to swim to shore, but 99% of the time, would die just before they hit shore. Someone would head down there, loot their corpse and deposit it in the bank. Towers (if you were aggressive to a non agressive player, towers would attack you) would hit whoever force pushed, but as long as you blocked, you'd be good to go. Also, every so often some idiot would go all vigilante on us when one of us turned gray (open to attack without penalty), but as he was attacking we'd turn blue (non aggressive, and if you attacked a blue, you'd turn gray) again, and hack them to death. Loot, rinse and repeat. So much fun. Also, loved boxing players in. Then going to make tea or grab a bite to eat. Pleading would typically ensue. Got plenty of fun stories from UO as well. Edited: to explain, towers, blue and gray. trescoole fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Oct 5, 2012 |

I don't understand some of the details of the story. I get the gist, but what's turning gray or blue indicate, and what's the function of the towers?

Is it still griefing if the victim(?) works themselves up without any help? Wouldn't want to take undue credit just because I stumbled on a kid who was up well past his bedtime, but see for yourselves.

Holy poo poo. We really need more MUD stories considering how often really terribly gamebreaking bugs slip through the cracks in them.

In Starcraft 2 team matches when I feel like griefing (often after many, many beers), I will play as zerg and only produce DRONES and HATCHERIES, like I will wall off with a hatcheries so my team can't make it through. Good fun, but sure gets people mad like hell haha. The creep also spreads so my team can't build anything!

Revenge griefing is pretty satisfying. Played a game of buggy No More Room in Hell mod yesterday. After respawning on the chinatown map some retard that, respawned with me, out of newbieness attracts a zombies, gets himself stuck in the doorway (so I can't get out), then runs behind me and leaves me unarmed (he had a weapon) versus the zombies. So I get hit and am bleeding. I manage to get out of there and I run straight for the objective which is to climb up a ladder over a barricade. I decide to stop halfway up the ladder and just wait. My brother whom I am playing is asking me what I'm waiting for. 10 seconds later the aforementioned idiot shows up. Sees me blocking the ladder and a shitload of zombies closing in. "COME ON MAN!!!!!" And he dies. Of course I get called out on it, but who gives a poo poo. Just made it more hilarious having people wasting their ammo on trying to shoot me when there is no friendly fire on.
