Holepunchio posted:Nah its just unlike regular sentries that engineers try to repair and hold a specific point mini-sentries are disposable drop and forget weapons. An engineer collecting metal off of dead players and ammo boxes can easily plop a new mini-sentry down every time it gets blown up. I honestly don't think its too bad as long as people blow them up as they see them. However pub servers where a team has 4 snipers and no explosive classes they can be quite the nuisance. Yeah people whine about mini-sentries because they're very low-effort high-reward on a 'casual' server. I did it the other day on a 24/7 Hightower server (basically a map people go to gently caress off on, hell people were getting mad at me for pushing the cart even though the map wasn't going to change if we won/lost). Anyway they just want to run around shooting dudes, and sentries get in the way of that. But oddly, they don't seem to mind if you drop a level 3 sentry out in the same spot, which is far more deadly, because once it gets blown up it's gone for a while at least - minisentries are a CONSTANT annoyance as long as the engineer is alive. The thing is, since the minis do less damage and feel less threatening people are more likely to try to ignore them and just run past / continue shooting whatever dude they are chasing. Sometimes my minisentry would literally RUN OUT OF AMMO, even though it has enough to fire constantly for like a minute, because nobody would bother shooting it until the 5 people it killed respawned. In short, minisentries own vs lazy pubbies.

Yeah but be ready to be kicked anyway  Seriously I've played on servers where the description says "no rules" and get banned after wiping out a squad (probably the admin) with the SPAS. We try to find servers where the admins hang around and specifically try to gently caress with them ("No jet ramming"? Time to get the jet!).

Indecisive posted:In short, minisentries own vs lazy pubbies. The wrangler lets you manually take control of the sentry and increases its defense/damage output. The problem is, playing properly with mini-sentries mostly involves using them as a distraction while closing on the guy and shotgun/pistolling him to death. Using the wrangler means you're locked behind the mini and its defense/damage were never that great to begin with, so % buffs do shitall. For some reason, getting killed by a wrangled mini-sentry makes pubbies so mad though.

I think he was too busy screaming warcries to realize what had even happened, and was just sitting there in a stunned silence and having gotten instagibbed the moment he rounded the corner.

I've been thinking of getting Minecraft, just because that game has to have some amazing griefing potential. Are there any good Minecraft griefing stories that aren't just destroying people's buildings? I mean, its funny, but with a came like Minecraft there has to be something amazing that'll just make people flip the gently caress out.

Are there any good Minecraft griefing stories that aren't just destroying people's buildings? I had two minecraft griefs here and here even though they're stupidly old now. I haven't done much MC griefing since then since I hang out on goon servers, but one time I was able to make some kid flip out in chat on Super Earth. I don't remember what set him off originally, but he went into one of those stereotypical "I'm done talking to you" things where they bring up the subject half a minute later, so I decided to just hand him a shovel and say, "Okay I'm done too," with the difference being that I stopped acknowledging he existed at all. This guy freaked out for a good half hour about this turn of events, claiming that he was over all of this, desperately asking why I was ignoring him, demanding that I respond, that I was the truly mad one for not responding (after some people told him to chill out), that he was sorry, that I should apologize, etc. Every time he started quieting down, I would talk to someone else to remind him I wasn't AFK, and he would pipe up again. He did this for so long that a moderator warned him to shut up or get muted, so he PMed me for 5 minutes instead before finally giving up and sulking in silence for the rest of the time I was on. e: Another guy had a pretty good Super Earth grief pretending to be a ghost starting here Control Volume fucked around with this message at 08:11 on Jul 22, 2013 |

People used to do what I think was called "leveling", where you log into a Minecraft server, quietly accumulate massive amounts of dirt, and start dismantling things that people have built and replacing them with vast flat plains of dirt.

A minecraft grief by the most creative bastard I know. He posted it some 45-50 pages back.BillyRubin posted:A couple years ago, some buddies and I had our own little Minecraft server. One guy, Sex Robot, had a swell village that he put a lot of work into, complete with a movie theatre and hot air balloons in the sky around it. One day, I dug underneath his village and put a good 30 or so note blocks (blocks that, when they are activated, play a single note) all connected with random timings to a system that would send a signal every second or so. The end result was a cacophony of really deep bass sounds so numerous that they deafened you anywhere in the village. It would be pretty impossible to ignore it without turning off the sound in the game entirely.

Here's a league video where a guy inadvertently griefs himself. Non-nerd explanation: The streamer told Vlad(a character someone else is playing) to activate their ultimate, a powerful skill that takes a while to recharge. Normally if you poo poo up a game, you can be reported and banned, but if you tried to report Vlad, you would be trying to get him banned for listening to you.

Novum posted:I love these MAV videos. If I'm understanding this right (I don't play the game) the team getting pissed off keeps winning the matches, but it's not enough to win when a little robot keeps crashing into you. MAVs are *extremely* annoying if someone is doing what this guy is doing. BF3 doesn't reward run and gun near as much as some other shooters, so it's important to stand still fairly frequently as you're advancing on an objective. The problem is, MAV kills are the easiest to get on stationary targets. So when these guys are doing what works in 99% of the matches they play, they're getting killed by a MAV. If they keep moving to make themselves a tougher target, they'll get shot by the enemy players. Add to that, the annoying whirring sound a MAV makes, and you can get extremely paranoid extremely fast. I've had some of my worst games when a buddy was on the team doing nothing but MAV bowling.

World of Warcraft. Wish I had a log/screenshots, but the gist of it is a dude griefing himself by being stupid: "Im looking for an RP guild. Do u RP?" "Forgive me, I don't understand. Arrrpee?" "Do u roleplay?" "I'm afraid not. I am but a huntsman seeking his fortune alongside his faithful feline. I am no mummer." "But do u RP?" "You explained that was some sort of playacting, yes? I am a marksman and tamer of beasts. I have no time for the stage, nor talent for entertaining." "i know ur a hunter but do you rp?" One of my guildies joined in and it went on for a few more minutes with him growing increasingly agitated that we refused to drop character to tell him "if we RPed" before he ran off.

I played WoW a bit when it went F2P up to Level 20 or whatever. I roleplayed as an Undead named DeadBob or Jim or whatever. His vocabulary consisted of various moans, slurs, and *DeadBob's left pinkie toe falls off*. It was hilarious seeing the "Real RPers" try to hold a conversation with me.

GNU Order posted:Weapon restriction lists are basically menus for what weapons you should be using That and C4 packs regardless of whether or not they're banned, especially if it is on an Operation Metro server. Operation Metro is fighting down a subway tunnel, so you've got no real choice but to run face first into a wall of enemy guns, especially on no grenade servers (on grenade servers, it is just infinite grenade spam down the stairwells). Solution? Throw C4 on the ceiling and blow guys up because the blast radius will travel up through the floor and kill them. C4 kills always make people rage.

Am I reading that article correctly that the castration attacks would be carried out by a clan that has a castration as a membership requirement? That seems like a rather large sacrifice () to go through just to grief some other people. Who would then be in your clan.

You weren't doing anything with that dick anyway. (Getting snipped lets you spend ludicrous, ludicrous amounts of exp on powering a secret internal style that does two things: Lets you use any attack in the game after any other attack in the game, effectively letting you chain different school's signature attacks into unbeatable combos, and lets you get killed after logging off. It's basically a exp sink for high level players--not doing anything with those points? Spend them on rampaging about unstoppably until three characters jump you at once! Then die and lose them all)

Another STO story. So, last weekend, we gave away free access to our starbase for any and all to get top-tier gear, greatly enraging the biggest Klingon-side fleet in the game, the House of Beautiful Orions. Today, the HOBO's failcascaded. The reason? Their one competent PVP'er, Minimax@EmoeJoe, organized a completely randomized tournament, in which members of our fleet were allowed to participate. In the second round, the leader of HOBO ran up against us and died horribly. He then threw a fit and kicked his best and most popular PVP'er out of the fleet, citing an obvious conspiracy between Minimax and Starfleet Dental to rig the tournament just to make HOBO look bad. http://pastebin.com/PS29ZAjf quote:LinaMia@Triangulum_Phoenix: i believe mini is setting up an environment where our enemies will laugh at us He managed to alienate the entire organized PVP community with his delusional ranting and poor treatment of a generally well-liked player. Members of HOBO began to object to this rough treatment. After I pointed out to them that they would be kicked from their fleet for using an EV suit, which is part of our standard fleet uniform, they began to realize that maybe they were serving under a horrible sperglord trying to control their game. Linamia, the deranged leader of HOBO, seeing the way things were going, demoted every other fleet leader in HOBO, and then began to mass-demote every single person in HOBO in fear of hem being Dental spies. The members of HOBO were understandably quite upset by this. http://pastebin.com/iPpTVeQd Once everyone woke up this morning, the exodus began. http://pastebin.com/05zkw8zZ Sunday morning, the House of Beautiful Orions was home to 500 members and the most advanced Klingon starbase in the game. By Monday afternoon, they consisted of about 40 alts of Linamia and about a dozen zealots, with their alts. All of this happened because of goon charity and this man's rabid paranoia.

I decided to get into PlayStation Home for the first time. Looking at the DLC options (out of curiousity) I noticed that as part of a promotion for Scream 4 there is a Ghostface costume. I bought it because an idea hit me. I put that outfit on and proceeded to enter social rooms and just run around with Ghostface's amusingly melodramatic run animation where he dashes with knife held above his head. First run I did the run I typed "Ready for a scary movie?!" and did his really dumb-looking run for a few laps. Into the corner, typed "Ready for the sequel?!" and did the same thing. Third time, "The trilogy will end it all" and did the same dumb run. Into the corner and typed "Unwanted fourth movie" and did the stupid run again. Fifth time, "Now for the cash-in" and then after that was over "Oh God, it flopped" and logged-out to make it look like I disappeared as a result. Yes, lame compared to a lot of the other ones in this thread but 90% of the room laughed while the other 10% PM'd "y dude" at me.
