In WoW, all of the different CC mechanics are on Diminishing returns. IE: If you fear someone the first fear is 8 seconds, the second is 4, and the third is 2. After that the target becomes immune. However, they still have no diminishing return stacks for other CC's such as cyclone or stuns. Back in burning crusade two of my guildies and I got pretty bored. I logged on my druid alt, one player was a warlock, and the other was a rogue. We found some random level 61 questing in hellfire and proceeded to chain CC him for 30+ minutes. He couldn't even log out of the game without alt+f4 or closing from the taskbar. The cycle looked like this: Rank 1 Roots> Roots> Roots> Fear> Fear> Fear> Kidneyshot> Kidneyshot> Kidneyshot> Repeat We proceeded to do this to several other people that day. The realm forums were pretty entertaining after that. Another fun thing we did was get four or five people with Tiny Voodoo Masks. http://www.wowhead.com/item=34029/tiny-voodoo-mask This was an item that was mostly useless and just spawned three little gnomes who would spam chain lightning on the nearest hostile target. We would fly around in a pack until we found a random alliance toon levelling, drop directly on to them, and all pop the trinket at the same time. Sometimes I'd even throw in a meteor from my AQ40 trinket for good measure.

Okay, now technically this isn't quite as bad as some of the WOW poo poo that's been posted in this thread, but it still took me a long loving time to figure out what you were talking about in this post. I still don't know what CC means because you presented it without any useful context, but I think you found a way to.. attack someone? I'm not asking for long, drawn-out explanations of everything you're doing, but there's a simple way to explain it that doesn't involve ridiculous terminology that only WOW players understand - For example, (i had to look up what CC means for this) HORSEPORN posted:In WoW, all of the different CC mechanics are on Diminishing returns.

Point is, I refuse to believe that you're so buried underneath World of Warcraft that you've lost the ability to word things in ways other humans can understand. I refuse to believe it because you've obviously somehow made your way out of the WoW subforum and into this thread. Okay that's my  for the morning

Rakanakle posted:If you haven't played World of Warcraft or another MMO, you would hardly have any idea what he was talking about. He could have explained it a lot clearer. There was a lot of specialized terminology on display. Abbreviating "Crowd Control" was especially egregious, since even the full phrase (and the concept) is not common outside of MMOs. I have played the WoW, and it still took me a second. edit for ^^^^: It refers to restricting the movement or attack of enemies, or abilities which do the same. "Roots" is an ability that stops you from being able to move. "Fear" forces you to run around randomly without being able to attack. The others I don't really know about. But that said, the image of the horde of tiny lightning-shooting voodoo gnomes was pretty funny. Tell us more stories, Uncle Horseporn!

Roots stop a character from moving around, fear forces a character to run around and nothing else, and I have no idea what kidney punch does. I'm assuming some kind of stun, which would cause a character to not be able to do anything. e: f, b.

For a better grief for the original release of WoW, the warlock class has a Succubus Pet that can cast a spell called "Seduction". All it did was make your target stand there with little hearts over their heads. If the target was hit by anything, a monster or another player (Not of their own faction) then they will be released from the effect. In WoW originally there were no diminishing returns, so there were several stories of goons simply locking people down for HOURS at a time, and the griefed individuals would just sit there trying to get a spell or other hit off on the offending player in between being immobilized. Fear also didn't have a diminishing return coefficient, so you could cast fear on a player indefinitely as well. Fear is a spell that causes the target to run away, and zero input is taken from the player affected. The only way to break it early was a horde side racial skill for the undead, they could break fear and be immune for like... 30 seconds? I forget as it's been so long. By any means, you could chain cast Fear on a player and have they would more than likely grab a whole bunch of monsters that would eventually kill them, causing them to take 10% damage to all of their items, along with having to run back to their corpse from the graveyard, which before a lot of the later patches, could be clear across the area due to lovely placement of graveyards for the factions.

And again, the only reason people raging over videogames is funny is because it's a loving game. Harassing someone in real life is called being an rear end in a top hat; yeah sure sometimes it's funny. But that would still make you an rear end in a top hat.

^^^I might as well contribute the rest of the videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr4r_sw2AKA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xYWHGO-2SU Those two videos are general griefing or weird stuff happening. This includes: voting in gm_flatgrass (absolutely nothing on the map, besides a small patch of stone road), haunted elevators, people dying left and right, shoving everyone off the elevator, deadly bees, exploding couch, incredible detective skills, wizards, jihad bombs and barrels. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2STDsJrg5MU This one is about a gimmick, a group of us followed people silently and holstered. The idea was to stop moving if they were looking at you. Sometimes we would suddenly get our crowbars out and maul the victim and then flip the flashlight on and off on the corpse.

Griefing people in video games makes you an rear end in a top hat too, but that's sort of the point. Being an rear end in a top hat to people who are far too serious about things that don't matter can be funny. $2 hugs is effective real-life griefing, that guy deserved to have someone pop his bubble that anyone wanted his smelly hippie hugs after he'd spent all day standing around at a market, even if they are free.

Here's my pre-internet grief. I used to always rent Final Fantasy 2 when it was still called Final Fantasy 2 on the SNES, and when I got to the part where you find out Golbez is Cecil's brother, I decided to use Namingway before I brought the game back and changed all four of the five characters names to GOLBEZ, IS, CECILS BROTHER, on all save files My brother used to grief people when he worked at a video game store, as soon as someone brought back a cartridge or memory card he'd wipe everything off of them.

Making it so the next person who rents the game/memory card doesn't inherit pre-existing data from someone else sound less like "griefing" and more like "exactly what someone would expect".
