Dirty Bomb Pet Peeve!

You plant C4. When there’s <10 seconds left, whole enemy team (with an engineer) runs to disarm it. All your team has to do is distract them for a few seconds. They could just run towards the enemy, shooting in random directions, all die without killing anyone, and that would be enough. But no, death in DB is to be avoided AT ALL COSTS, so the C4 of course gets disarmed with 1 second on the clock. Gotta maintain that positive K/D.

And this repeats 3 times in 1 match, when you have a 4500 Game Mode XP mission.

Couldn’t even get a Fragger to cook a nade into the objective? That’s kind of what nades are for, ya know.

Yeah, stuff like this is why we need a better tutorial covering all the aspects of the game, an Engineer among the starting cast of Mercs that everybody gets free, and mandatory tutorial.

Funny you mention Fragger. Two out of three times I was dead and was watching a Fragger on the roof. First time he decided to shoot literally everyone else in the room other than Proxy that was disarming C4. The other time he was cooking a nade but he threw it so badly that it flew through open side door… :frowning: It was painful to watch.

Ugh, I still vividly remember this game. The salt is strong in me…

Underground, eh? Yeah, that map brings out the awful in everybody. So many Auras deciding to (dis)arm the C4 themselves, rather than revive the Bushwhacker five feet away so he can do it. I spent a fucking hard-earned 50k on him, and actually play the objective with him, and this is how I’m treated?

Increased combat XP for defeating someone accomplishing an objective. This should give a nice kick in the ass for people to pick targets wisely.

When your teamamtes in competitive leave becuase they aren’t playing good. When your players play classes they aren’t good at and that don’t help the team when they play.

When your team plays the game with the following amendment to the ruleset:

Secondary objectives are now primary objectives.

“Team! We must defend this tunnel at all costs!”

It’s annoying to play against too.

Start of Chapel defense, I’m wondering why there are no enemies near the EV and then it suddenly pops up with “They’ve repaired the ramp.” :confused:

It’s even worse when you are desperately defending on the last stage, dodging airstrikes and lasers, and when you die you spectate someone from your team who goes all the way back to plant C4 on the ramp… grinds teeth

Trying to kick an AFK spectator that’s taking up a spot and ruining it for that team.

That we don’t have this implemented yet.

It irritates me greatly that Kira on the small icon in Lobby and Tab menu looks nothing like on the bigger images.

(Samniss_Arandeen) #92

We don’t have custom taunts or on-win ending screen cinematics. Who wants to see a scoreboard-topping Fragger juggle nades, a high-score Stoker roasting marshmallows on his Molotovs, or Bushwhacker proudly waxing his turret?

In Terminal I often rush the wall and plant when I first spawn. I am successful about half the time. A good defender team will usually defuse, but it forces them to pull in their defense.

When I press ~ instead of 1 when I’m switching to my shotgun in a fight…

@ValkyrieHunter32 Why not use the scroll wheel? IDK about you, but mine switches between my primary and secondary regardless of what you have out. Smooth transitioning with no buttons required.

Related pet peeve: I can’t select Melee or Abilities with the scroll wheel. Seriously guys, I’m running out of mouse side buttons for switching to them.

[quote=“crabbyDimension;62685”]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!

This. Whenever I know sudden death is right around the corner and my dead body is lying in the direct line of fire I started to ‘K’ out instead of luring my own teammates into the open. More downtime for me, but a dead medic on top won’t exactly better our chances.

(brennanfreak) #98

@Incoming eheheheh I’m more used to pressing keys than scrolling.

Kids screaming on voice to do something when they are in last place…

And shotguns now…
