The Little Pet Peeve Thread

(SpinnerzNQ) #21

[quote=“Maverix_GT;138830”][quote=“Sploosh;138811”][quote=“Maverix_GT;138807”]I have many peeves.

-When playing Vassili, everyone and their mother’s decides to block my shot.
-When I warn my team mates of an enemy airstrike, and yet somehow I die to it inside a building, making me look like an idiot.
-When I can’t sync with the enemy zig-zagging causing me to miss 100% of my shots.
-When a friendly red-eye smokes their own team causing the enemy to slip by and plant/steal the objective.
-When medic tries to bring you up instead of using their defibs.
-When non-engis repair the EV when there already is a engineer doing the repair, and the enemy rounds the corner and takes both players out.
-When I summon an orbital strike, and dying instantly to the enemy.

Honestly, the list goes on and on…[/quote]

Medics can’t bring you up without using their defibs.

That was patched a while ago. I tested it over a month ago. [/quote]

Apparently not. I just had a sparks pick me up instead of using her revivr gun in execution. Everyone in spectate was having a “wtf moment” in VOIP.[/quote]

I’ve actually seen that too. I think the person was at least like level 10, too. The only time this is excusable is if the Revive Gun is overheated, by my guy literally just had his revive gun out before he started helping him up (I was spectating him while I was waiting for a respawn).

Those guys who are just here to insult as much people as possible for shady reasons. Especially when they actually pass more time insulting people than playing.

(SnakekillerX) #23

Not really, as it still takes longer to revive by hand than to wait for the revivr to recharge.
Might as well do something more productive like… cover your downed body until you can revive them, or toss health packs, etc.

Really? That’s strange. Maybe it’s just Sparks, like when her revive gun is overheated? I’ve tried it with Sawbonez and Aura before and it doesn’t work. Never tried with Sparks. I guess it would make some sense if they still allowed her to do that if her Rev gun is unavailable.

My biggest peeves are:

  • As a Proxy when I repair the EV and back off of it cause of airstrikes/get killed and everyone if off TDMing and it gets disabled where it sits.
  • When the generator goes down on The Bridge and no one notices so they don’t repair the EV
  • When you chase someone around as a Skyhammer/Arty and their out of bullets and won’t stop moving so your bullets miss them and they keep running (then they start yelling AMMO!) lawls
  • When someone is mad cause their getting owned so they call for a map restart or team balance over and over and over
  • When you die over and over again and you see someone standing in a corner or their face to a wall and a vote to kick them shows up and they respond with, “What why!?”
(FUNNYBLACKMAN) #26

When there’s a sniper in front of me and I crouch and he still headshots me.
When I die and everyone fucking stays in the MG area in Chapel and ‘‘defend’’ the EV which is being repaired and no one goes to stop it and just stays back.
When our team gets cocky on Bridge and pushes up to attacker spawn while a proxy is repairing the EV.
When I’m getting some awesome killstreaks and a fucking mine in an awkward spot ruins it.
When a level 5 somehow shoots better than me?!?!?!
When I’m about to make the biggest flank of my career and the enemy team spawns in next to me…
When I’m in the revive animation and they shoot my body.
When I tell someone to not play Vasilli and help his team, he says ‘‘I have mission’’ so I gotta explain to him how it works.
When an Aura appears out of nowhere and fucking w+m1+spacebar’s me.(The most embarrassing thing)

(SirSwag) #27

When you start to plant C4 and 2 other team mates do the same thing instead of covering you. They always think they’ll be able to plant sooner for some reason.

(Mrarauzz) #28

The fact that a sparks body pillow doesn’t exist …

(Rjsto) #29

When in closequarters 1v1 both of us have the same a-d-a-d tactic, but I do the completely opposite movement with my crosshair so I can’t hit them at all

(Mr-Penguin) #30

Vassili stacking.

(nimbleIsland) #31

I know it’s balance but the slow movement speed on the cricket bat triggers me so much.

(watsyurdeal) #32

My pet peeve is actually more to do with the whole class based system.

So we can have anyone revive people and plant bombs, but not toss some fucking ammo? Or give me a health syringe to save me at the risk of being in a bad spot later on?

Like seriously, allow us to throw people a clip of ammo to help out our buddies, and get rid of health regen in exchange for a simple med kit. You get one, no recharge either, unless you get a certain augment that gives you two. You can heal yourself, or give it to someone else while you get stocked up on more, exactly like how ammo works.

Maybe I’m pushing too hard to for soft solutions to not being able to have more than 3 mercs that pretty much guarantees that 50% of the time someone is not going to have a Medic or Fire Support. But I feel like forcing people work together is causing more problems in pubs than simple team balancing, people are selfish, they’ll play how they want. Trying to make a guy play Medic when he really should be playing Fragger cause his DM is the best on the team is a terrible fucking idea.

(Reddeadcap) #33

People along the lines of

“You’re level X, you need to carry my ass throughout the entire game. I don’t know what a health pack is, I don’t know what an ammo pack is, I don’t know what objectives are, I don’t even know the name of the merc I’m currently using and my abilities are gathering dust. Why aren’t you killing the entire enemy team in under 3 seconds while I and the rest sit around with our thumbs in our rears looking at this here spawn point with all our minds shuddering in bewilderment at the thought that we could even move a step outside of it. The idea that I even die once is insanity to me, so you guy higher level than me, do it all.”

I wish levels didn’t show up, but thats really a mixed bag, I’ve seen people twice my level who have great reflexs and play awesomely, I personally do not have that much time to dedicate to the game, not calling them “No Lifers” they just have more dedication than me and that is good for them, I wish I had that as well, but when I see someone who is at least level 15 and doesn’t even understand the concept of a health pack, or even the idea that a direct hit helps with both ammo and health packs and that engineers are bette at objectives, I can’t help but die a little inside.

@SirSwag Annoyance scaling from least to most:
Teammates try to plant while you do.

Teammates stare at you blankly while you do it as if it’s something completely new to them.

Teammates have no awareness at all and don’t shoot at enemies coming straight towards them and you.

3+ Vasillis on your team, bonus points if one keeps saying things like “come on guys we need to do the objective” on his mic or chat, even more so if not even one enemy has been detected

I’m not a pro but IMO this is a good tactic in pubs. Assuming they also plant in a good spot. Pubs are pubs, you never know when and from where you will be shot. If two people plant simultaneously chances are higher that the plant succeeds. Of course there are situations when it’s better to bodyblock etc, just pointing out that in my opinion it’s not a bad thing in general.

I’ll give you that, but I’ve had moments when I’ve done this, as an engineer… and about 2-4 teammates think they can do it faster nonengineers.

(MarsRover) #36

When you cancel a mission and get the exact same one on the next refresh.

“What’s that? You don’t want 7500 Game Mode XP? OK, I can see what’s the problem here. Here, take 7500 Game Mode XP with Proxy!” :trollface:

Yeah, and then a barrage of nades comes in. On the other hand sometimes there is that one Proxy on your team that just keeps planting in the worst spot possible, and you have little chance of making a good plant with your slower non-engineer :slight_smile:

I think it’d be cool if you could like sacrifice a clip of ammo to another teammate. That’d be fair, especially if you have spares so it’s no big deal. You’d rarely have to use this, and the only time you really would is if, say, an assualt merc is low on ammo and you just restocked.
As for the medic thing… ehhhh. I mean I get what you’re saying, but I still think that the medics are just fine. It’d be nice if we had that, but that would make medics less useful. And that would make it even harder to get a medic on our team.

(SirMurder) #38

Stiletto knife sound from allies because then u think its an enemy and u peak and get shot

(SpinnerzNQ) #39

I remember there was a time when I didn’t know what the stiletto sounded like, so I was hearing the sort of “whistle” sound and I was like “WHAT IS THAT SOUND?!?!?”
