I think I griefed someone by merely playing a game. I tried out the Evolved Alpha before it went away, and decided to play as a hunter. Because I honestly have no patience for tutorials, I ignored the unskippable video one. From there on out, I began trying to play the game as a tank/hunter whatever the gently caress its called and went around, getting a hang of the controls. Meanwhile, team mates are giving me poo poo for not finding the monster straight away. One guy kept telling me "We los this game" and "stop plaing" and "go pla tetri". Only thing I could do was arch my brow and ask myself "What exactly is wrong here".

So, that's griefing, I guess? :confused:

Too bad you didn't pay attention to the tutorial, because the hunter had the best griefing tool ever; The Arena. It was an ability to create a huge impenetrable shield surrounding an area for a few minutes. Normally it's used to trap the monster to force a fight, but it also blocked the rest of your team as well.

The monster was very weak in the beginning, but if you let it feed on wildlife, it would mutate and become almost unstoppable. If you got the distance right, you could trap the rest of your team in the arena, leaving the monster free to eat unhindered while the rest of your couldn't do anything but helplessly watch as it grew stronger.

I NEVER HAD SOUL
If you play as the flying monster (Kraken) in Evolve, you can just fly to the farthest corner of any map right at the start and hide in a bush or on top of a rock for the whole round. They'll never find you. Even if they do, it doesn't matter because you brought the movement speed perk; you just fly away faster than they could ever hope to follow and hide again. You still officially lose when the time runs down, but when the Hunters have spent twenty solid minutes running in circles and insulting your mother because they just plain can't find you -- even the robot with the scouting drone for a head -- you'll know who the real winner is: The Kraken, hide and seek champion.

We gazed into the eyes of madness... And all we found was horny.




Sort of reminds me of shenanigans from SC2 at launch.

Basically, if a Terran player suspected their opponent was about to deliver the killing blow, they'd lift off one of their Command Centers, fly it to a corner of the map that only flying units could attack it at, then go all-in on the enemy base, trying to kill all of their workers+ worker-producing buildings (as well as any fliers). If it worked, they'd be locked in a stalemate that their opponent couldn't hope to break. If I remember right, Blizzard eventually added in something that would eventually cause a double loss if neither player had damaged anything after a few minutes if someone's base had been revealed (which happens when they lose most of their buildings).

In Heroes of the Storm, upon reaching level 10 (~6 minutes into the game), Azmodan gets ability to summon minions that require 4 hits (and do not expire on time), regardless of damage, to be killed. Another hero, Tassadar, has an ability to shield allies, that can be boosted with two talents to never expire and to shield minions for 50% more. These two combined result in relentless assault of minions that, by the level 10 of both Tassadar and Azmodan, take 424 hits to be killed, regardless of what hits them, and with the progression of levels the shield only becomes more powerful, up to some ~800 hits in the late game, though the match never lasts so long as minions, even if shielded sloppily, will end the game around the 15 minute mark at most.

Too bad the game does not have chat between teams so far. Most you can do is to use callout that is visible at the end of the game. Invincible minions break the core (base) and enemy team sees:

Tassadar: Sorry!
Azmodan: Sorry!

That reminds me of the only good thing to come out of League of Legends; players loving with things. The engineer guy, Heimerdinger, has a few turrets he can set down. The important part is that they could block minions, but the waves would continue to be generated. If Heimerdinger did it right, he could fence minions in behind his turrets for say, seven or eight or nine waves? While the rest of the players would farm them and keep them off the towers. Then eventually he'd rebuild his turrets or die, releasing the gigantic minion army.

I tried to find a video but they all have awful clipart and sample text and bad techno music everywhere so just imagine a gigantic swarm of weak little trash dudes plowing in the enemy base.

'OMG YOU GUYS ITS AN ALPHA AND YOU GLITCHED GET hosed GO PLAY SOMETHING ELSE gently caress YOU'

Because surely, SURELY, an alpha build isn't the time to roll out hilarious game-breaking builds while you can so that the devs can look into it. Maybe they're just mad they won't get to use that particular build in the full version themselves?

I mean, am I misunderstanding here, or are people are getting full-blown threat-slinging mad over a TEST BUILD?

Jester in ToS is made for griefing. The way it works is, if you get yourself lynched, you can get a guaranteed kill the next night on anyone who voted guilty against you, even if they are night-immune. You can use this for good (kill a known Mafia member on the turn Mafia ties the town in members, ensuring any competent town team the win) or evil (kill the Mayor right after he's forced to announce himself, ensuring the town hemorrhages two members per day until they lose), and in public matches it's ridiculously easy to get yourself killed. All you have to do is wait until late in the game and claim you're a role that has already died. This has worked 4-5 times for me and I've never been caught at it, each time just saying "WTF people, I'm the loving [role that has already died or is likely to be called]" The trick is to claim a high-priority town target that has already died, like doctor/mayor/sheriff, or a low-priority town target that hasn't (as they will be likely to call you out, having nothing to lose from their role being known). ok hth go have fun as jester

Lemme tell you about a short but sweet SS13 prank.

There's various medals in SS13, basically achievements, and some of them give you alt-skins for things. For instance, everyone gets the 'Fish' medal when they first join a server, which lets them turn a backpack into an equivalent satchel once per round. One of these medals is called 'Enlightened', and it lets you turn one outer suit item, like a space suit or body armour, into an ornate long coat called Grand Alchemist Robes. It retains all the properties of the thing it used to be.

SS13 has straight jackets. Once one's put on you, you can't get it off by yourself, you can't use your hands, you can't even go through closed doors. They go in your outer suit slot.

So I enlisted the help of a nearby Mechanic to get the robes off me after I'd used the skin on them, took them to the cafeteria, left them on the bar and hid in the disposals chute.

Five people fell for it.
