View Full Version : What irks you?
What makes you the most upset while playing?
My biggest irk is when you put the effort into forming a high level group to exp and then 15mins later someone has to leave. I mean, why even join at all.
People who box, cheat, or slander people on the server.
Shows how little they care and how they abuse people who put time and effort to make this server something special.

Edit: My biggest irk is reaching a wall and having nothing to do, but thats classic. Im just going to camp the kunark release.
Sitting LFG for 6 hours, then finally getting into a group 15 minutes before I have to log.

Why even join? Our group had to disband because we didnt have a tank, ty.

when the retard healer heals my tank while I am bandaging, but then stops healing me after I hit 60%. I tell them not to do it, then I make fun of them for doing it, and the idiots keep doing it. FUCK RETARD HEALERS WHO ONLY TAKE THE PLACE OF BANDAGING!!
Why even join? Our group had to disband because we didnt have a tank, ty.
Wasn't actually me (I give at least 30 minute warning before leaving if at all possible), but I figured it would illustrate the why nicely. If my options are: play for 6 hours and gain 0 xp versus play 6 hours 15 minutes and gain 10% or something, then I'll stay the extra 15 minutes to not have wasted my entire day.
Besides, if you can't find anyone else at all then that 15 minutes is better than nothing for you too.

A few things that irk me:
- I think pets zoning was a good idea in Shards of Dalaya. It turns out it doesn't really make you much more powerful, but it's just convenient and nicer.
- The arms on ogres aren't put on quite right. When they are sitting down, if you look from directly behind them you can see a giant gap in their elbows where they bend. It ruins my suspension of disbelief when I look at a sitting ogre.
- I was never that into steampunk themes, and thus tinkering doesn't really sit that right with me. I'm trying to get over it.
- I always though haste items on melees were too important. It seems like weapons would stand out more if not for the haste item being a one stop shop to increase melee damage.
- I think warriors should get more for using shields.

This, coupled with the idea that a rushed/buggyashell version of kunark would be extremely "classic".
But that's wishful thinking. Good god even just Dreadlands and Ill Omen would seriously space out the grinders and PL teams.

Meanwhile I had been playing for maybe a week or two and only had a level 6 Warrior with 3 platinum to show for it. Such is life I suppose.

Someone with some type of moxy would have atleast said, "we will check in to it." If that GM is burnt out or something on the game, then by all means back out and take a break, you could run off newer players with your lack of professionalism. Although its a free game, you are still representing a game full of devs hard work and the best damn game on the planet!

The MOST upset? Surely the all-too-common revolving-door-group can't be it. Surely you're more upset by someone training, kill-stealing, or trying to ninjaloot your stuff.
HEY that reminds me. On this server, does the person/group getting the xp get exclusive loot rights for a few minutes? Cuz in classic anyone could loot any mob at any time; there was no timer. A level 1 noob could ninjaloot a freshly killed named mob.

Got to agree that the folks running the show here probably wouldn't make my friend's list; nor would I make theirs. I've seen too many "fuck off" comments made by them; and that's just not my style. Still, their hard work has resulting in something amazing and I appreciate and thank them for it.
/edit when I say "fuck off" comments, I'm referring to the forums here; not in game. But then again a lot of people are IDB on the forums and hate to admit it but I'm probably as guilty as anyone of IDB'ness; but in a different, self-riteous sort of way.

People who refuse to group. I mean, I get that some people like soloing and that their lives make it tempting to make a solo class, but there are also those who actively reject invites in dungeons in favor of soloing the exact same content. I had a group in Mistmoore once, pulling to that hill by the pond, and we had room for another. This druid runs up, rejects the invite, and proceeds to solo the same mobs we're pulling from. He wasn't camping some named spawn for gear, he wasn't AFK 90% of the time or otherwise unable to function in a group, he just preferred soloing the mobs. I don't get that. I take no issue with people who prefer kiting in Karana over going to a "dungeon", or want to grind out the last bit of an irritating level without the risk of wiping in more challenging content. I sympathize with people who don't want the hassle of putting a group together. But when someone is invited as the 6th man and then refuses, only to start soloing the mobs they would have been killing in the group anyway, I have to wonder why they play an MMORPG.

Let me ask you this, why would someone who is completely capable of soloing stuff that it takes a whole group of non-solo classes to kill, join a group to get only 1/6th of the exp...I have been in groups many times and let me tell you, I can solo faster and get better exp than any group can get exp at my level. Not to mention get 100% of the money. Maybe that is me being selfish but it is the truth.
For example, I am level 45, I got 2 yellow yesterday in a little over 3 hours, just off and on camping seafuries and gornit. I made 2k. If I were in a group, you bet your ass I wouldn't have gotten where I did.
What erks me is getting tells for invites to groups when I am kicking ass at soloing and making phat lewts...
In all seriousness though, I don't group because when I log on, I have no idea how long I will be on for. It could be 15mins, it could be 6 hours. Back when I was in college I would group right up with ya, but now that I am married, my plans get messed up.
So I try to make as much of it as I can and solo my way up so I can keep up with the Jeffersons.

I don't think hes stating that it would be faster, and I agree, why would he bother for 1/6th the XP. But how about respect that it's camped, instead of just starting to pull where a group already is. I personally could solo alot faster on my bard than MOST groups. However, I have the mentality that if I wanted to solo, I'd go play Xbox.
I'm not sure why people who play solo classes have such an arrogance about them. Just because you picked a Mage over a Rogue doesnt mean youre better at the game. "Zomg im so good I just made 3kpp in 2 hrs" Congrats, you probably dont have friends in real life either ;) Don't take this the wrong way Eyry, I'm not directly flaming you, I don't even know you.

Okay not to hijack or anything, but Ive got throw my 2cp in when it comes to GMs/guides.
My one encounter with a guide was very positive. Basically, I was stuck in a death cycle of sorts and I was rapidly losing experience. Guide Uthgaard swooped in and fixed the issue, and as a result, saved me a massive amount of aggravation. This was on a Saturday morning too, and im sure he had things he would rather do than fix gnome_necro_179's problems.
I havent had the opportunity to meet the other guides and GM's, but regardless of any comments fired from the cuff, they are all ultimately working towards making the server a better place to be. Also, keep in mind that these guys aren't paid, so they aren't depending on this job for a living - they were/are players like all of us, and they are the ones tackling the monumental task of bringing the EQ trilogy back to the general player population in its original state.
Thanks again Uthgaard

A guide once turned my pet into a cyclops while I was camping the AC. It was cruel, in a loving way, or vice versa.
Nothing but positive things to say about the GM/Guides on this server.

Understandable, but you are simply getting mad at two different things and lumping them together. Which can be mistaken by others. In one point, you argue that the person refuses to join your group because they want to solo. The second point is that the person is taking mobs from you.
By all means the second point would piss me off to, but the first point has to be argued separately because it is a completely different thing. Not sure how I or people of my class come off as arrogant. I get little play time and I enjoy soloing. If I were invited to a group I would simply turn it down because of my unknown de-logging tendencies. If I joined a group and had to leave in 15mins, it would be unfair to the group. I brought up the point of making 2k in 3 hours only to show that people who solo can make more than people who group, thus being a reason (not the only reason) to solo. I did not mean it as a "na na boo boo I make more than you in one hour". It was not meant to rub anything in. I understand that your post was not directed at me but it seems that you are just bitter. Making the comment:
"Zomg im so good I just made 3kpp in 2 hrs" Congrats, you probably dont have friends in real life either ;)
It does not help the credibility of your irk. What does not having any friends have anything to do with making 3k in 2 hours? I would make that statement if someone said I made 20k in 12hours because they were playing a game for the marjoriy of the day. Thus taking away quality social time with real life people.
It simply makes you look like a whiner. Which many of the people in this thread are. Granted, I have my irks, but you are complaining about something that A) People generally do on MMOs, so get used to it and B) You make assumptions about solo classes based on one incident. It seems to me that you are just bitter...

Who's to say an Irk must have credibility anyway? =)
Not bitter, I got most of my gear and roomates gear using a 50 mage to farm manastones and rubi bp's, but to brag about doing something so easily achievable is classless and immature. My irk was about this immaturity, and warrants no credibility other than my own.

My apologies if you thought of it as bragging. Again, I was merely stating a point. But if you want to be hypocritical about it and make the statement that you have the ability to farm "manastones and Rubi bp's" with ease, you are only making yourself look "classless and immature". You are not proving any point with your statement. To mention such items when you could have just said, "I got most of my gear and roommates gear using a 50 mage to farm" is only showing that you in fact are bragging.

-People who leave a group for another group without telling anyone (especially when things are going really well)
-People who get rude with you when you ask for a price check on an item, they tell you to offer a price, and then proceed to get rude and hostile at what you offer (not knowing how much something is worth)
-When people hunt the newb guards that low levels need in case of emergencies (it doesn't bother me if they turn into the guards and help derail newbie trains, then I have no problem with that) Just when they kill guards, yet watch newbs die to trains and do nothing about it.
-Ogres blocking the bank (not really, just something that was kinda funny/irritating in my newbie days when I couldnt get to the banker due to an AFK ogre sitting in the way)

I agree with you on this one. I feel like I already know what to expect, what to camp, what to see. There are no surprises left like the feeling you got when Kunark and Velious were first released. I feel like Chris Columbus in 2010.

What irks me is when I am happily soloing in my zone of choice and certain type of lower level player walks up and asks for buffs. They might want haste, clarity, or both. This particular person is level 10-20, wearing an fbss, full set armor, two yaks....maybe an SMR and gebs if they're a caster. They ask in the following way:
"Haste!!!!" =) or "CLARITY~"
I am not one of your guild chanters. I'm not your buddy who you used to play with on live. I am, thirdly, not a buff machine stationed in zones to provide buffage to lower level toons, on demand, without even an offer of a donation whilst wearing their 25k in twink gear.
I love the level 8's in EC, who walk up untwinked and offer a plat for clarity, after asking respectfully. I turn it down, hit em with buffs, and send them on their way.
Bottom line: Treat higher level buffers with respect and you'll likely get a lot further than if not.

Haha, same thing happens to me. Sometimes I get a little nervous pulling, so I gotta go. I usually just bring the laptop with me though.
When my cat keeps trying to climb in my lap and I keep putting him on the floor and then he tries once again to climb in my lap
Does your cat get along with your Chihuahua (http://fastfood.ocregister.com/files/2009/01/taco-bell-_dog-ad.jpg)?

When my ferrets climb on desk/keyboard during a close fight... One, thinks the mouse is her toy, and tries to run off with it..

Friends showing up, going to the fridge and getting one of your beers, then sitting down next to you playing EQ and saying, "So. What do you want to do?"

What irks me is when I am happily soloing in my zone of choice and certain type of lower level player walks up and asks for buffs. They might want haste, clarity, or both. This particular person is level 10-20, wearing an fbss, full set armor, two yaks....maybe an SMR and gebs if they're a caster. They ask in the following way:
"Haste!!!!" =) or "CLARITY~"
What is clarity? Everyone knows that demands for enchanter buffs are met only with the single letter of "C."
"will you come C me??" Sure, I'd love to come visit you!

i can understand being out in the world doing stuff and not wanting to have to buff people, but the people who sit in EC and dont buff is pointless, youre sitting there staring at chat.
whenever im in EC i buff whoever asks if im not afk, and usually just shout out free hp / sow / regen to noobs, and usually chanters happily keep clarity on me to help my buffstation.
Oh and paladins vex me oh-so-greatly.
Them and their flaming ego swords, their non-racist Hate shields, their thousand usable weapons that aren't SK usable in kunark/velious, their crappy ghetto-rez and crappy ghetto-taunts. Like rangers in plate without track and SoW, without the dps. Without the comedic value even. Hate em!
And how three complete sets of valorium drop before one complete set of umbral plate!
And those stupid STUPID spell/item -names. "Benevolence", "Heroism", "Valor", "Valorium", "blergh", "urgh", and "blargh"!
Srsly hate their crappy buffs. Keep that lowbie +60max hp effect-hog away from me - I'll get hit with an Inner Fire rather; if I am to go gimp-buffs I'll go all the way.

People with stupid pot-related names, like Toker McBlunt, Four Twenty, Hydro Ponics, and other dumb stuff. I'm looking at YOU *Peace Pipe* :-P
Or offensive/crude names, Like Bignadsgaydad, Zanehasdowns, Sieg Heil, Busta Nut, Bulldyke, and other junk.
Granted, some are kinda funny, like Murderwhale, Sackpuncher, and such. Not sure where I would draw the line there.
At least I've stopped seeing people with names that have blatant profanity in them, like Fukface and stuff.

People who put articles in their macros.
Example: I'm pulling a %t get ready!!!!
What I see: I'm pulling a a ghoul get ready!!!
It's like nails on a chalkboard.

Yeah, my pulling macro is pretty much just "%t", and I can use the same one to call focus onto a target during the fight as well. It's not as if there's other situations than these that warrant the use of a mob's full name, so I've never seen anyone get confused by it not specifically mentioning that the mob is presently incoming. Normally I don't care much if people personalize their inc macros a bit, but some have full lines of useless text in them that just gets in the way. What's worse is assist macros, both because it's fairly pointless for a rogue to inform the group that he's assisting the tank (what else would he do?) and because it tends to make the user disinclined to hit assist liberally since it'll spam the group.

I'd kick my own ass if I had this..Cross target so much mezzing and reassisting my god it would be so much spam. Though I think it should be required for wizzies, I swear they're afk 90% of the time! =P

Join a group of necromancers on a raid. 3-5 guys spamming:
"Twitching %T"
"Twitching %T"
"Twitching %T"
"Twitching %T"
"Twitching %T"
It's like an episode of X-Files. What are these people in their oracle robes?!

Just hate your class - it's only remotely personal!
