The saddest part about Cogwerks's story is on those servers, people actually have to write applications in order to play as a catbeast and other "its not a furry i swear!!!" races. And 99% of the time it's for erotic RP reasons.

What it about games that makes people RAGE about playing "the right way"? It seems to happen the most in FPS's for some reason. I occasionally play the tactical shooter SWAT 4 online and it's amazing how pissy people get about the most mundane poo poo. It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. For instance, we were playing a map and that rounds team leader's internet/computer froze and he wasn't responding or moving. People were saying it happens to him occasionally...no big deal. Someone else volunteers to be team leader for a few minutes and we're almost done with the map when the dude's computer unfreezes  > WHAT THE gently caress > I WAS TEAM LEADER! > Your computer froze. > YOU SHOULD HAVE WAITED FOR ME! THAT'S A VIOLATION OF RULES!And then he starts a poll to kick the dude who took over as team leader while he froze, which of course fails and then he whines about it for the next two rounds. In another instance, there was a group of us playing and everyone was standing in this one room for like 5+ minutes not doing anything. The team leader wasn't giving orders and nobody seemed to mind. I thought maybe my internet had hung or something, except for the fact that one user was moving around. Anyway, he got tired of waiting and took it upon himself to check a bathroom door for enemies while everyone was faffing around. As soon as he got into the bathroom one of the admin's banned him and everyone started rabbling about what a NOOB he was and HOW DARE HE go rogue like that while they were in the middle of a VERY SERIOUS TACTICAL MISSION. I guess maybe SWAT 4 is particularly bad and insular because there are probably less than 100 people in the world still playing it actively, but it's really funny to me to see these wannabe commandos take a game so seriously. I really don't get it.

This reminds of when I briefly played Company of Heroes multiplayer. I didn't get the game until years after release, so most people online just had their way with me in 1v1. However, there was one guy almost able to beat someone by spamming Riflemen with sticky bombs to destroy all his vehicles, which is considered by some players to be noobish, cheap, or both. In any case he narrowly managed to turn the game around, at which point this short exchange occurred (paraphrased). Him: Nice rifle spam noob Me: I am a noob actually. I got this game three days ago on the steam sale. Him: Oh, well Him: Good job then.

This game is great for griefing teammates, especially if your the teamleader. As the leader, you can stun and arrest other members of your team, forcing them to wait until the end of the map. Or just get the paintball gun with pepper spray balls and stun lock the entire team.

My favorite grief comes from a really awful game I played for a short while named Conquer. It was the epitome of bad Korean MMO design, with a ridiculous grind, the slowest running I've ever seen (they literally implemented bunny hopping as a janky fix so you'd just see people bouncing around) and lots of weird angsty players. Because I was new I joined up with the first guild I found, which was a fairly big guild on that server, with some really serious top players. Within an hour of me joining, I was wandering around with a high level guildmate killing strong monsters to help level me up. When he bounced away to get some supplies, a player from a allied guild bounced up, and proceeded to swing his sword at me. Not knowing what to do, I ran away screaming in guild chat that I was being attacked. Hearing my call and seeing a newbie in trouble a couple nearby guildmates bounced in and massacred him. What proceeded can only be described as a bloodbath, as members of the formerly allied guild declared war on us to avenge their fallen comrade, suicide attacking our leader repeatedly while he was AFK in a "safe" city, making him lose lots of XP and items, as well as ganking every member out trying to level. People were screaming in guild chat, wondering why their former friends were murdering them, and some very expensive items got lost, it was chaos and I thought it was hilarious. As it turned out, the swinging of the sword was little more than an emote that could level you up. It apparently was a playful jab and you can only imagine the players shock when he was brutally murdered out of the blue.  Since I had broken an agreement between two major alliances and started a pretty big conflict due to my lack of knowledge, naturally they did what anyone would do in this situation when a newbie makes a mistake and held a tribunal. Three people, including the leader who been murdered, questioned me quite seriously in guild chat about my intentions and whether or not I was a spy. I ended up being kicked after laughing at them for being so serious. Thanks to me, a literally 2 day old newbie, the server I played on had a war between two large guilds. At least I quit that stupid game laughing my rear end off.

Short and sweet: In Dota 2 if you rightclick someone allied you'll follow them at a distance of ~3 feet. This includes people who are already following someone else. If you and three friends are all in a huge train following the one racist rear end in a top hat pub on your team and someone's quietly micspamming the Dragon Warrior overworld theme over voice chat, the game tends to end quickly and with a lot of rage.

I really like this thread and it would be a shame to see it gassed because of one sperg that can't socialise with women online. So here are two stories from Age of Wushu regarding stupid chest mechanics, to hopefully get us back on track with actual griefing. In Wushu there is an amazing slightly bizarre mechanic during PvE instances. Certain bosses in each instance will invite other players into your dungeon to defend them. These players are called assassins by the game, and are treated as normal players when they enter the instance just hostile to the PvEers and friendly to the mobs. Longman Inn is currently the highest level PvE dungeon and some people take 4-6 hours to clear it. At the very end of the basic branch of the dungeon the players escape a burning inn through an underground passage. At the end of this passage the have to fight two mini bosses that drop loot chests, just before they fight the last boss who happens to call for assassins. The instance is terribly scripted so after the mini bosses die the last boss is basically on you and summoning assassins before you can loot. The fight becomes a cluster gently caress of 12 or so players a boss spamming AoEs and random flashy effects and 6 or so assassins doing their best to be annoying, and wipe the group. Several Goons have been able to use this as a distraction to loot the chests dropped by the minibosses and take everything that the group had been working the last 4 hours or so for. This problem got so bad for one PvE group from an enemy guild that they would station people protecting the chests instead of fighting the boss and even end up wiping because they got so distracted by assassins looting that they ignored the boss and failed to kill him within the time limit. Wushu also has a system for random encounters. Stand around long enough in certain areas and if you are lucky an npc will spawn and give you some items or a quest for something usually unobtainable by normal play. The most sort after item lets you learn some ridiculously powerful martial arts, and some goons have sold this for over $800 when it first dropped. To get this encounter you need to stand in a certain zone at certain times of the day and be at your keyboard to respond to the npc that comes and talks to you. He gives you a quest that ends with taking a key to an out of the way chest that only the key holder can open. After the chest has been opened anyone can open the now unlocked chest and access the item inside. Many goons have kept alts around the chest to see who gets the encounter and try to scam the item out of the owner for basically nothing. One goon recently took this a step further, he saw a person from an enemy guild opening the chest. He queued up a move to knockback the enemy player, and while they were confused by the attack he opened the chest and stole the item. This has caused the Vietnamese player base who already hates us to completely despise us. Goons have been karmically downgraded from dogs (apparently this is a grave insult to Vietnamese people) to thieving rats.

Not the best griefing story, but back when Unreal Tournament came out, I'd play with my friends on whatever CTF server we could find as Clan Yeehaw and with names that ended in Yeehaw. Basically, we set a keybind to make your guy yell "Yeeeeeeehawwwww!", and then we would spam it constantly during a match. Did you capture the flag? Yeehaw! Are you on a kill streak! Yeehaw! Did someone else yeehaw? Yeehaw! It was like popcorn, where one yeehaw would signal a cascade of constant yeehawing for the next minute or so. Some people thought it was funny and would even join in, but some people got really really mad and tried to hunt is down and typed the expected insults in game chat. We were reasonably good at the time though, so they couldn't do anything and would just eventually quit the server.

In Halo, everything you voicechat is broadcast to all characters within a small distance around you, including enemy players. I had one friend who decided to class up the typical death taunting by quickly running up to the bodies of those he killed and administering last rights. Somehow this pissed people off way more than being teabagged.

I was chillin with some dudes last night and a few of them played a round of DOTA or something like that and holy crap most of the people in that game really should just be playing against bots, they're just not socialized and they don't seem to be very happy about anything anybody else in the game does ever. I have no idea if griefing is even a meaningful term when every last thing causes some doctor to prescribe blood pressure meds.duckfarts posted:Some people thought it was funny and would even join in, but some people got really really mad and tried to hunt is down and typed the expected insults in game chat. We were reasonably good at the time though, so they couldn't do anything and would just eventually quit the server. This is the greatest thing about pubbies. If you're being annoying in chat, "winning on the scoreboard" makes no difference at all, except in pubbie-land where somehow performance in one area is relevant to performance in another area through some sort of ether transmission. No polite "Hey could you please knock it off" or god forbid doing something like leaving or muting, just bigotry and score-peacocking. Coolguye posted:My roommate in college was one of the people who would get pissed at this, since I'd do it all the time. He actually ended up downloading an Eric Cartman voice pack and installing it on the server we owned so he could respond to YEEHAW with SUCK MY BALLS. Your former roommate is the worst.

I've got a friend of mine who does this when we play Halo or any other FPS, really. He rages constantly about how bullshit it is when he dies, rages when he doesn't quite kill someone, rages just in general, and then when he's done, he wants to play another game. I think it's just catharsis for some people. I'm still trying to get him to play Dark Souls.

In World of Warcraft I and some friends used to grief the crowd wanting to cyber on RP realms. We'd make horde characters, 3 tauren and 1 bloodelf female. We'd find one of the many willing blood elf males wanting to cyber, and lead them to a private house in which to do the nasty using the bloodelf female as bait. However my friends would hide their tauren characters on the rafters or the above floor, and on a sign from the bait jump down in whatever stupid clothes and weapons they could find and "Moo" at him and make all sorts of milking jokes. It was a stupid prank, but you could almost feel the reaction when they suddenly stopped their sexy sentence mid type and start freaking the gently caress out when they were suddenly surrounded by horny tauren females. I know messing with World of Warcraft players looking to cyber is low hanging fruit, but it's the only instance of good griefing I have and I wanted to share  Edit: "Slowly moving a finger down your shoulder to loosen thd2wwwwwwww"

I play Star Wars: The Old Republic and its pretty easy to mindlessly grief. Want to annoy people for hours after you've left a planet? Especially starter planets? Talk about Jawas. Make sure to provide some seeder material (Jawa movie titles)! Play PvP with a bunch of unskilled players? Usually there's one angry try hard screaming in chat. Make sure to point out that he's taking this too seriously. Dance next to him when defending points. Emote yes at him when he asks you if you are stupid. It requires very little effort and sometimes you'll even get enraged whispers long after the warzone ends. Class have a DPS or Heal spec? Que as a healer but bet set up only to do DPS. Make sure you do minimal, if no, healing. If anyone questions you, become either silent or belligerent. Works okay for tank/ DPS but you'll probably get kicked faster. Or just play the game. The game will on occasion, grief you.

One of the most fun things about GTAIV multiplayer was driving the buses around. Buses were the perfect vehicle for griefing. Want to interrupt a race? Park it sideways and drive it back and forth like a big Pong paddle. Want to run people over with impunity? Buses were the fastest vehicles that you couldn't shoot through the back of. Want to just continually chase after one player and run their cars off the road? The bus was surprisingly quick and agile and most pubbies were so bad at driving that you could always keep up with them. This got players really mad, enough to start sending me angry messages about what one player had deemed the "stupid gay mexican bus"
