Dirty Bomb Pet Peeve!

(IcySkyz) #1

After playing Dirty Bomb for a few months, I really do enjoy the game. However, I must admit there are times where I get absolutely annoyed by little things other players do. Sometimes for a perfectly good reason and sometimes…well just cause it annoys me. So whats your Dirty Bomb pet peeve (ie. something that particularly annoys you)? Here are a few of mine.

  1. When a medic walks right over my body but doesn’t revive me
  2. When I yell “Ammo” but get nothing
  3. When I am an engineering repairing EV and then 3 others join in to repair too.
  4. When a non-medic player tries to revive me instead of defusing the C4 next to them thats gonna blow in 10 sec

When the guy who’s on the verge of death ducks and dives every attempt for my medpack to land and never looks around him for it and dies. It doesn’t help that I can’t outrun most of these fuckers so as to catch up to them either.

Getting stuck playing Medic when I wanna play Arty :confused:

Trying to win a 1v1 with the Dreiss against anyone really. Damn head hitboxes are so small in this game, and everyone is so fast ;-;

  1. Team being aware that there’s a clear cheater in the team, but at voting stage they vote “no” and wants to keep the cheater in.
  2. Own team mates that see me rolling on the ground needing help, but instead of reviving, they think t-bagging me is a great idea.
  3. Playing in a team where nobody can see what could wrong if team has 4 Vasillis and of course none of them wants to change the merc to another one.

Lol, on public these are more norms than exceptions.

This happens also when there’s firefight going when opponents are going for the repair of EV and spawntimer is close to zero. It’s like…what u r doing? Keep shooting and forget about me!

Same applies to Chapel where people are trying to help up person whose on the left stairs from the defender spawn.

I had once situation where I ran out of spawn alone and noticed that three opponents where considering some spawncampish action for the next wave. They didn’t notice me and with bit of luck I was able to take out couple of them including Bushwhacker who didn’t have time to put his turret down. Also I got Phantom running for his live too. During the firefight I took it deep too and died at the same time with my opponent.
Now, comes the next spawn wave and I’m lying right out of their path (they are like running over me) and nobody including the medic has even look what happened. I’m of course stuck in the long spawn…

I’m like: You’re Welcome!

  1. Skyhammers/Arties throwing airstrikes on a 99% repaired EV.
  2. Nonmedics helping me up when there’s a medic lying down right next to me.
  3. Medics trying to disarm the C4 when I’m down next to it as an engineer.
  4. Those damn Auras jumping first into a firefight and promptly dying before slower combat mercs get there…
  5. People not shooting the EV when it’s <10% functional.
  6. People complaining about spawncamping.
  7. People mindlessly returning the objective when it is in a perfect spot to defend.

I have a feeling I’m gonna edit this list a few times more :smile:

[/quote]Really? This is your pet peeve?

What kind of spawncamping we’re talking about? Killing people right from the bat or rearguard action?

Yep. I consider spawncamping a valid tactic - if your team is getting spawncamped then it is clearly worse. End of story.

And I don’t want to discuss this here, there are plenty of threads about it.

(Ghosthree3) #13

Related, people finishing an EV repair when you’re waiting on C4 to blow the gate.

You consider killing the other team right from the bat as “valid tactic”?
It isn’t tactic, it’s exploitation of game mechanics. My new pet peeve: People saying killing opposition on Spawn zone is ok.

[quote=“MarsRover;62745”] if your team is getting spawncamped then it is clearly worse. End of story.[/QUOte]And if you are spawncamping right next to spawn zone you are worse player than any member of the other team.
Period.

Also related, Skyhammers/Arties that never airstrike the EV ever.

-Not getting ammo when I’m tbagging my skyhammer teammate and spamming v22. I’m a Fragger man, I need ammo so I can kill for you!

-Teammates ignoring the objective. I once planting on the first part of UG, asked my team to get in the room and help defend, not a single person came in. They were too busy camping the side generators.

(SaulWolfden) #17
  1. Medics who completely ignore reviving people for no logical reasoning
  2. Vaselines who can’t aim for crap (Bush Wookiees)
  3. Medics or Support that don’t give out ammo or health (except to themselves)
  4. People who ignore the objective (next two related)
  5. Having no backup to push said objective
  6. Having to repair the EV on a non-Engineer class without that perk because the rest of my team is doing nothing
  7. People I revive just running right back into bullets or explosives rather than cover

That can actually work if they are on defence. Take in turns taking out the EV :smiley:

I’m going to go with some less common ones as everyone knows the usual X merc not helping their team by not doing their role.

  1. How meleeing is now in general.

  2. Phantom Visibility, Feels awful shooting at one across the map trying to sneak around everyone but that cloak is so visible the character isn’t worth using.

  3. Contradicting my earlier statement with this but, Heres a new one Redeye not using his monocle to spot enemies for his team through smoke, unlike Vasilli where he could be helping out, Redeyes are affecting their team negatively without marking enemies through smoke.

4)The loud players, It tends to be someone who’s not really helping. either not doing anything or killing from a safe distance without helping the team push foward while on the attacking team, or in some of my cases yelling Ammo at the top of their lungs 10 times in a row instead of asking nicely or using the quickchat function.

5)“You’re level X you should be better than this” type of people, I’m currently level 23 but have so much other things to do like work and college obviously I get pretty rusty.
