I love this thread. How about we get it back on track? As some in this thread have pointed out, Everquest was a game that managed to grief its own players. Here are a couple that I remember from back in the day: Throwing Daggers In EQ your character had a “throwing item(s)” equipment slot. For fighter types this was almost always occupied by a stack of throwing daggers or something else throwy and pointy. Casters usually just left the spot empty, since it was largely useless to them. Some game designer must have noticed that unused throwing slot on all those casters, and he decided to do something about it. Special daggers were introduced that were loaded with useful buffs to spellcasters. They weren’t meant to be thrown at all – they were supposed to just sit in your throwing item slot and provide you with extra mana or intelligence or whatever. Since it was Everquest they usually took hours and hours worth of camping to get, but they were still pretty drat handy. Unfortunately, equipping the throwing dagger activates the “throw” button automatically. If you misclicked on that throw button your precious stat dagger would be hurled at whatever enemy you were facing, consuming the dagger in the process. Spellcasters would occasionally click on that button without even realizing it, the only evidence of their misclick would be a tiny “You throw your Dagger of Intellect at the Orc Centurion for 1 point of damage” blurb that is quickly lost in the scrolling combat text. Sewing Kits Everquest introduced the concept of portable tradeskill bags/boxes. You used them by throwing the ingredients inside, then hitting the “Mix” button. On success your ingredients would disappear and be replaced by what you were trying to make. On failure your ingredients would just disappear. It turns out one of these kits, for the sake of brevity let’s call it a sewing kit, turns out to be significantly lighter than a normal bag of equal capacity. To the weight conscious monk, this bag is a godsend. Every monk on the server would carry these kits around instead of bags, and would be extra careful not to hit the Mix button instead of the “Close Bag” button. Did I mention that the Mix button was right next to the Close Bag button? Anyway, you can guess what happened. Many monks cried when they sewed their spare armor, a backup weapon, and a few choice pieces of loot into oblivion. The GMs always refused to restore the lost sewing kit possessions resulting from accidental sewing attempts. In a game that was so item-centric, a single misclick could destroy weeks or even months worth of gear.

I don't know for certain, but that sounds very likely. Leaving those bags as-is was generating too much pain for both players and GMs. But if they did make them able to hold just tradeskill items they took their time going about making the change. Those Sewing Kits of Devouring were around long enough to become a running joke of Everquest. At one point in time everyone knew about them, everyone understood the risks, but every drat monk still used them for storage. People stopped saying "OMG I can't believe that kit destroyed all of your items!" and started saying "Tough luck on your bag eating your items man."

They just made it so kits checked for an actual possible combine before eating items. No possible combine, you just get an error message saying it's not possible.

Recommending recipes like "Stone of Jordan + Wirt's Leg + Tome of Town Portal" to give UBER COW DROPS was always great, because they'll destroy their precious ring, and the fact that the cows did not have uber drops wasn't readily apparent until you got in there and started killing things just to get the usual trash.

The Third Man posted:The Hellmoo poo poo is incredible. Is everything in the chatlogs a back and forth between two players? I'm having trouble understanding how text games work out, since they were kind of before my time. There are as many players as there are characters in each log. So they're also interacting with the game system itself. For instance, in HellMOO, if I type "gently caress Third Man", then a bunch of things will happen. "gently caress" is a valid command, so the game will check to make sure you're not wearing pants, etc., and then it'll do a roll for my gently caress skill to determine how much we enjoy it, it will determine whether or not either of us gets pregnant or passes on an STD, etc. Lots of things. But we can also "emote". So I can type "emote does a flip," and the other players will see "Charlatan does a flip." This is how you get people performing really wordy, lengthy, storybook-esque actions and how my cock becomes a rattlesnake.

Some additional Eternal City griefing: For the first 10 years the game was running, the best piece of waist armor in the game was dropped by hoplites, and it was called 'A linen belt with a heavy bronze buckle.' However, most of the players had never even seen one, and they were always referred to as linen belts. Well, one day I found a tailoring shop in the steps (the slummy part of the game's main city) which sold belts in a variety of materials, one of which was linen. Needless to say, within 2 months I had made hundreds of talents (equal to 50 pounds of gold) off newbies with too much money, and had gotten the hoplite belts nerfed in the process. Good times.

There have been a few posts about miscellaneous ways to grief in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warefare but I brought pictures! It may have been outlined before but in Call of Duty virtually all of the semi-automatic weapons can be fired as fast as you can pull the trigger. Relatively early on in the game's lifespan someone figured out they could modify a controller to fire any semi-automatic weapon to it's maximum rate of fire, which happens to be just as fast if not faster than any other weapon in the game. Now I personally don't use a modded controller, I would consider it if I had the money just to make pubbies mad, but I don't. All it takes is pressing the trigger down just a little bit and doing it repeatedly very, very quickly. Strangely enough this alone has elicited more hate directed at me than anything else the goon CoD4 group has done. We continually whatever we can to annoy the other team and it still seems to flounder in comparison. It's easy to tell when you're getting on someone's nerves after they repeatedly charge you each time they die or when they instantly quit the game after you kill them. At which point I'll promptly send a message consisting of nothing more than "^___^" or the classic "  "; feigning homosexuality (Xbox Live is notoriously homophobic) never hurts either. This has netted me some interesting reactions not only in-game but via Xbox Live messages as well.(Sorry that these are linked to and not displayed on the page, I don't really feel like displaying a ton of images in one post.) https://wi.somethingawful.com/f3/f3f19ef975b4cd7d44ef57f81b799e302214ef93.jpg https://wi.somethingawful.com/eb/eb18f10250a9958cd68328d5c6dbd62761a21615.jpg https://wi.somethingawful.com/53/53ce35562a05ca3200b4ed37b4ceca72c77c834e.jpg https://wi.somethingawful.com/26/264161066f5460ee127ae338e7616f264b2d25f0.jpg http://scuttle.mirror.waffleimages.com/data/files/e5/e507dfc831c46b70b009ed82ace1af99c3764885.jpg https://wi.somethingawful.com/0d/0de19ff1f96d97fb3befbe231a7ddbb54ecdd380.jpg https://wi.somethingawful.com/77/77a350f5fc79c550882003dff79819d699bd231a.jpg And my personal favorite; https://wi.somethingawful.com/e1/e1543071c105f20c98f4dc9d5cab2013b8e0bab4.jpg Sorry a lot of the images are really crappy quality as well.

I love that one who says spending money is "gay". Adults have disposable income, dear childe! All of this rage over just shooting fast reminds me of when I used to play GunZ. I was one of those people who griefed unintentionally by just playing the game my way. For those who don't know, GunZ had this really weird physics system that I don't remember the details of, but essentially you could wall jump, switch weapons, and sword dash to fly around. "Pro" games, especially from Korea, latched onto this and used it exclusively. They would dance back and forth in the air, called butterflying or k-style, and attempt to get close enough to either hit you multiple times with their sword or point blank with an insanely high-damage shotgun. How did I play, you ask? I carried two high-capacity automatic rifles and lured them into narrow hallways, where I could just roll backwards away from their butterfly and magdump into their head. It didn't help that when I was playing, the only headgear you could buy was cash shop, which meant most people didn't have any armor there. It was easy to get several headshots, which would put them down despite the low regular damage of the rifles I used. I got pretty much the same responses fennesz got, except with more Korean/Asian/whoever it is that says "la" all the time flavor. Funnily enough, I had a harder time against people who weren't k-styling "pros" since they would use "cheap" tactics similar to mine, ie, using actual tactics like positioning and ambush rather than flying straight at you.

fennesz posted:(Xbox Live is notoriously homophobic) I will provide a little anecdote to help illustrate this. My mum is from Canada and my dad is a scot with a not very strong accent so I don't really have a scottish one, but since I've lived in scotland for many years I can put on a bad scottish accent that just sounds like a stereotypical gay/camp accent. Once me and a friend were match-making in halo 2. We got team shotties on midship and 2 people joined out party. Me and my friend were in Gay scot mode and were speaking in camp accents talking about putting sausages in people's bottoms. "Shut up fag" says a team-mate naturally we decide to mock him "ooh someone's needs to behave or they're not getting a sausage in their bottom" etc. etc. The guy spent the entire game trying to team-kill the two of us while we continually threw gay innuendo at him in between laughing at him getting incredibly irate at the whole ordeal.

This exact thing happened when someone joined one of the LC TF2 servers a few days ago and the entire server cooperated to discuss all the homosexual acts they enjoy, ending up driving him to start screaming at us and punch his microphone. We got about a half hour of the guy calling us all faggots in various states of rage and he even persisted through a custom map change.

I've been having some awesome fun on iSketch tonight... basically drawing pictures which are just a variation on a man riding a bird, carrying a sword and shield and wearing a top hat. The bird also has a hat. Then when they all abuse me, I log out then log back into the same room under a different name and do it again. It's amazing how pissed off people get, yet it's so simple to do.

Homosexuality seems to weird out lots of people in games, even if its just your character namer. I introduce you to Fiery_Homosexual in the original hl1 team fortress the happy medic who had forgotten about his hippocrates vow ran around spreading the joy of flesheating bacteria with his little medipak shouting "stay still, I'm going to give you STD's". This was done over and over again, and infection while in the other teams base meant you wouldn't be getting out alive without a medic, this seemed to piss a lot of people off. People were shouting "keep that drat bag the gently caress away from me", even though their own team medic could heal this little affliction, which many people didn't seem to know or understand. edit: while I corrected some typos I accidentaly took out the game name etc. digitalwatchmaker fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Aug 3, 2009 |
