The Hippie: Shield bumping

The Hippie: Shield bumping monsters out of my bomb-damage radius. Because keeping them alive is so helpful! Save the monsters!

The Art Lover: Not smashing lamps! I saw bushes were addressed (I kill em all. That's what DBB was made for, wasn't it?), but didn't see about lamps. Vandalize the furniture! Those crowns add up man, I'm poor!

Everybody LOVES revives!

Use high knockback weapons (trollaris, levi charges, nitronome, etc) to knock everything into party members, get yourself killed, blame lag, make other people pay for CE revives, rinse, repeat.
AAAANNNDDD FOR THE GRAND FINALE...
Make them pay you to revive yourself, and then get killed immediately.

Join random parties farming tokens during events, just sit there for half the time, then rush in, get killed, and demand to be revived under threat of kick.

I have experienced all of these things. I really need to stop partying with randoms. Q_Q

*poot*

I don't play PvP, so I can't really say anything about it *hides back under her rock*

About PvE and any other stuff... hooboy
- I'm rather talkative person, yet I type pretty slow (so I prefer to say anything when I'm out of combat, or lying on the floor dead; I hate to use my mic). So I beg of you, stop pushing me around with Rocket Hammer, unless I ask for that (I tend to go for short AFK to bring myself some food or drink, usually when whole party already takes an elevator down). This is rude, and sometimes pushed player lands somewhere else than you wanted to, for example into trap. You wanted them to end in there? You sick sick person you. No free heat for you.
- Speaking of this! When a heat giver lies down dead for obvious reason, and heat receiver by accident died also because of sudden lagspike, don't run into elevator. DON'T. Wasted heat, wasted time, and angry party members, who may leave you alone without warning.
- Closed party with one free slot, and party leader who decides to take longer AFK.
- Players constantly begging for revive, even when they're as useful as booger flavoured lollipop. Cthulhu save you if that's the party leader who's into kicking out for no particular reason.
- Players who don't want to revive others, but perform Leeroy Jenkins on mobs and die (especially undergeared players in new instances). Who's to blame? LAGS. IT'S ALL THEIR FAULT.
- Somebody wants to solo the Rocket Puppy room in FSC? LET THEM DO SO. You can stay behind the barrier to eventually revive them, or drop Shock Vials so others may use them. If you see they're in trouble, HELP THEM. And, for god's sake, LISTEN TO OTHERS.
- If I see you using Nitronome bomb to push away mobs out of radius of my Shivermist, or any weapon that knockbacks mobs far away I'm gonna find out where you live and you gonna regret my visit.
- Operation: Crimson Hammer Tier 3. Y'were here, y'know what I mean.
- I'm rather patient person, and I take stuff with pinch of salt, I don't flip out because somebody threw a curse (like, who didn't called those pesky devilites few nasty names?), or has a worse day. But if you got some bad attitude towards others, and you don't want to calm down, I'll leave your party, lying to you, or without explanation. And I'll take my Shivermist with me.
- People who chip away the ice out of Trojans. Do you have any idea how hard are these guys to freeze? And, for god's sake stop running around them, our Gunslinger cannot aim and whole Blitz's charge gets wasted on mob's shield. And stop breaking ice on frozen Vanaduke with your Polaris/Argent/Sentenza (people do bring those to FSC, god knows why for). I can forgive that you wanted to shoot other mob and you can't aim your gun for life but I beg of youuuu.
- "Tab me pls pls tab me u got energy u rich pls tab me ill pay u back pls gib mi monei pls tab pls oro pls ce pls pls pls pls"
- "pls"
- When others don't understand I don't want to use my CE to take another elevator. I farm CE on my own, how I use it, it shall be my decision.
- People who think it's good to send trade requests to others when they're in middle of conversation. I don't say they have to know I'm having some private talks to other player, but that popping up window may be pretty irritating. Especially when appears several times in a row from the same player who somehow doesn't understand you don't want to trade.
- People who revive themselves using energy, when there's an alive partymate who's got enough hitpoints to revive others. I just... don't understand?????
- If you're not sure if you can revive at least one person after you self-rev, you better lay down and be quiet.
- That chat filter thang. Yes, I curse. No, I didn't call names any other player (I called myself an idiot does it count?). Yes, I called my computer/an NPC mentally defective. Yes, I'm foreign player, who gets censored because an innocent word has those 3 letters that together sound in English like cuss. No, I'm absolutely not sorry for that. Fite me.
- Why I can't send that link to funny movie to my guildmate who doesn't have Steam account how in tarnation it does work.
- All that P2P vs. F2P war. I'm F2P (I don't think I'd spend my money on something I can physically touch, smell or something; yet I'd trade my soul for Chroma plush), I do laugh on Apprentices with full 5* gear that was presumably bought for CE, although I'm not gonna join any argue about superiority of players. Not my money - not my business.
- Chuck Norris jokes.

Ruining a party hmmm...

For pve:

-going away from keyboard when you push the party button for a Tier 3 gun puppy danger room.
-not throwing water when vana spams his mace.
-using the explosions from charge attack when in there is no room to move (ex. In a hallway) against devilites and greavers....then laughing because you're the only one who didn't die.

For pvp:

I got nothing.

In haven:

-spamming friend requests.
-/tell to me: spams "want to be friends?"

For guild:

-join my guild please please PLEASE. Response: i'm in one already. Can't you see the white text below my name. Person: i'm blind. Response: oh then might I ask how you are playing the game?

whats is wrong with combuster on fire storm citadel? elemental dmg is best in fsc, u can fire trojans, jelly cubes, slag guards etc, and combuster have better knocback than glacius or volt edge.

Hate list

1)

I hate it when people join my party and beg for tabs, especially if they have better gear than anyone else in the party.
I'm not talking about when someone politely asks "Can anyone tab me at the last elevator before the boss, as I wont have enough, please?"
I'm talking about when they don't shut up. "Tab plz tab plz tab plz tab plz or I leave/ kick you 1!!11!!!"

Good responses to tab beggars:

-Use your own energy, I can see that yellow symbol next to your name!

-I don't care if you're using CE, you can profit off of this mission regardless if you buy CE with crowns! (Applies to Snarbolax levels, Royal Jelly etc.)

-Are you being truthful and actually don't have enough energy to get to the boss? Why are you even joining/wasting our time? (If they are party leader)

-What if everyone else has used up their mist and can't afford to use their CE on you?

-Explain to me exactly why you need to be tabbed, don't just say a few nonsense words. (Make sure they give you a good answer)

-Are you sure you're not trolling me with an elevator pass? (Can you actually do this?!)

And if they don't stop:

-Ask for tab again and you're out. (If you're party leader) (Kick them if other team mates want them gone)

-Excuse me party leader, this person wont stop begging for a tab, are you going to warn them about it?
(Wont work if the beggar is party leaders friend.)

-Ask them nicely if they'll kindly leave. Kick them instantly if they say something mean or refuse to do so for some idiotic reason.
(But give them a chance to explain why they want tabs first)

2)

Stop begging in haven for energy/crowns! Just grind Shadow of the Beast/Sovereign slime/whatever!

3)

Stop wasting your energy on reviving yourself if there's someone else in the party who is alive, and can easily reach you!

4)

And my absolute most hated:

-People kicking me when I'm still loading (Slow computer D: ) +100 rage

-People who stand on the elevator while you are still loading, forcing you to do the level alone by kicking you. +500 rage

-People who kick you from a party when you've crashed, no exceptions. (If you do this...) + 9999 rage

-People kicking me with no explanation/ just to let their friend join, and giving you no chance to ask them why/ to make you lose your heat.

The reason I hate it when people do these things is because I don't want to solo the level if I've asked to be in a party, because joining a party is the whole point of not wanting to do a level solo!

5)

When I crash and my computer is so slow to get the game running again that I lose all progress in the mission, wasting my time and energy (literally!)
Bonus +999999 rage points if somebody kicked you from the party. I then send angry mail to them telling them that they have abused their power for no reason, and ask them nicely for a CE refund. (The refund is however much the remaining elevator(s) to the boss would have costed (Obviously does not apply in mission lobby))

6)

For the final time, stop kicking people if they joined the party in the first place for some stupid reason! What if they HATE playing solo?

7)

I don't mind it when you Polaris spam, but just make sure you know what you're doing.

8)

Coming under equipped for mission, and then begging for people to revive you when you die.

Sorry if I sound like a complete moron in this post, I really don't mean to sound like one.

-

when I'm preplacing bombs before a party button and someone waits just off the button for me to get on. Then when I explain what I'm doing they still want to be the last one on.

People who wait for everyone to get on the button first, then start their charge (why can't they do that while they're waiting?)

I have read the entire thread so far and will include...

...the blatantly obvious things that you guys have missed.

-Bringing shadow weapons to a speedFSC run. I invited you to take 20 minutes, not an hour!
-Bringing fire weapons to an FSC run. Setting oilers on fire isn't very helpful, it just kills you and your teammates. -_-
-Hitting a frozen trojan on the shield, and undoing all the hard work that the bomber has kindly strived to complete. Genius! (Oh wait, that was covered.)
-@Quakeman(He joined an FSC run I was in, and he was the one pissed off that time, not the troller), joining just before D28 to realise you're the only one with a Shiver AND Blitz (this hasn't just happened to Quakeman with me xD). That boss fight took half an hour, and we just finished before a patch reboot.
-Go afk constantly, BEFORE the button, make sure you can't be hammered anywhere, and threaten to remove your guildies from the guild if they kick you from party for being afk (yes, I was evil enough to do this once >;D).

Some more... wow, I thought this'd be easy, but I forgot that others have posted my ideal ones. xD

Making alt knights and spamming famous people on them, such as Vokster, or spamming your nemeses, which I haven't done in a long time... O_O! Brb, and don't you dare use that hammer on me, or I'll (threat)!

I wholeheartedly disagree

I wholeheartedly disagree with the "bringing fire weapons on a FSC run". The Combuster is (IMO) the best brandish to bring along. Aside from the minor downside of setting fire to the (maybe 6) oilers, having a brandish charge that will knock back everything other than turrets and Trojans every single time without the risk of locking them in place right in front of you to nom on your face is a HUGE benefit.

For me there are 2 things

For me there are 2 things that ruin a party.

1] Thinking it is a race and we must see how fast we can clear these levels. 90% of the deaths I see every day, is because of rushing. 90% !!!!
2] Lack of teamwork. Constantly comparing yourself to your team mate, how much less you died and how much better your equipment is, how much better you play, how much more monsters you killed than the others. Instead of focusing on the monsters and levels and how you can work together and have fun.... "I want to solo this rooom, stop!" .. WTF? dude? Why you join a party? This also includes letting that certain sword/gun/bomb rip that only works in your own advantage and to the disadvantage of your team mates.. because.. it is all about you.

This amounts to playing PvP in PvE areas... Retard much?

I have no problem bring a

I have no problem bring a Combuster to FSC, it needs heat, so I heat it. That is that.
On the other hand, bringing Glacius and spamming charge attacks, does not work well with Combuster or Voltedge, if you rely on the freeze effect for your gaming style.

In some areas, especially JK

In some areas, especially JK with the key rooms, where a player tries to run ahead, grab the key, then backtrack out of the room to stick it in the gate. 99% of the time they die holding the key, or, if they don't they are just running around unable to fight, shield, rev or do anything which could help the rest of the party.

This also applies to people who decide to run ahead in the JK palace where the enemy spawns are based on player location. Plus points if they spawn all the enemies, then die to watch the rest of the team struggle to kill all the enemies spawned without dying.

Same goes for the "brb" right before a party button or lift - especially since most times they can "brb" during the loading time or while the rest of the party is killing enemies.

It is very rare that I create or join a boss run with random people. Games with only guildmates and friends are just so nice in comparison. Only downside is you don't meet that 1 in 5 randoms who are friendly teamplaying players to make more friends. Give or take :/

Just today I joined a friend doing Royal Jelly who was playing with 2 randoms both using 4star graviton bombs almost exclusively. When I started dropping shivermists so that the flying slimes would stop killing everyone, they told me to stop cause it wasn't helping their bombing, so I just used fire bombs instead, and stayed as far away from their fighting as possible doing my best not to get killed by a stray flying-while-attacking tree or jelly. Fun times xD

FSC/ Pet peeves

PvE:

For FSC: On the level before vana, there at the arena at the end, there is a health castle there, and when we are at the last zombie, we warned the people not to kill the zombie to heal up, but he did it. +999999 Rage.
-Big Angry Bomb, Stop making me blind, will you?

For elevators and parties: GOD, PLEASE, WHY DID YOU INVITE ME TO GET ME KICKED! YOU ARE WASTING MY ENERGY.+Lazy 8 of rage points
-Why should I revive you even though you could have opened the party so I can invite people? My god. +100000000 rage points.

Haven: Stop sending my trade for begging! I seriously had to type "If you ask me for donations, you will be ignored" And it gets very annoying!
-Why do you even bother random trading people to get your crappy item!? With the power of technology and brains, there is something called "Auction house"
P.S: I am using Lordsmash's hate list rating.

No-Thanks
raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage

im probably gona get alot of hate for this 1, but it hasnt been mentioned yet so...

ppl asking for heat:
ppl offering heat are nice, u can take theirs, but dont freaking insolently ask every single person to share heat with u. if i need it or not, im not dying just for that purpose. the last thing i want is answering stupid questions, so dont repeat ur questions, dont ask for clarification!!!

agree and disagree to alot mentioned already, so not gona get creative to extend it even more. the heat thing really does bother me alot for christs sake play like a normal party member. the fact that ur even aware of heat sharing should prove that ur intelligent enough to play the game without wasting everybodys time! on top of that im always amazed, how often heat collectors revive ppl, 2 revives already give over 50%!! do some freaking math...

From the viewpoint of a team supporter.

These are some of my personal party peeves, coming from a full-bomber party-support knight. Suppose I'll list from least to greatest level of frustration. This is just my biased opinion, and in no way dictates any kind of discrimination or judgement.

1) People who criticize the weapon choice of others (especially bombs)

2) People who loiter near party buttons before stepping on, for no reason

3) People who insist using a weapon to propel themself onto an elevator... Every floor.

4) Party members who don't like parties, and yell at other party members

5) Getting criticized for using shard bombs at all

6) People who slash at frozen trojans, constantly spray projectiles at dodging enemies, double water vana's mask, take switches into their own hands with no communication, etc. be told to cease action, but persist and think they are helping.

7) (more of a community peeve) People who often ask for free things. I do give free things by heart when I feel it is right, but I cannot feel good about giving when it is asked plainly without reason. (Eg. if you come and say "Oh maan!! I'm missing a spark of life to craft my voltedge, and I have just enough energy and crowns to craft it." Yes I'm going to give it to you provided I have one.)

8) People who get cocky and risk the success of the party by soloing the rest of the level, regardless of the outcome

9) People who refuse to strategize and communicate

10) People who wont.work.with.bombs

___________

Well thus is what I rather dislike when in parties and such. I almost always play with randoms but I do meet a number of kind people, in fact, I have actually been getting the odd positive comment about shard bombs. Usually these come from players who did not know they were different before (And I personally prefer the former, only a few flaws) but It makes me feel glad when it gets a bit of recognition. I would have put people who boast on the list, but it doesnt bug me all too much.

Well, thanks for reading.

Whenever someone begs you for cr, I just ask them to go to the arcade to deposit minerals. However, 99% of the time this does not work as the newbies who are begging you don't KNOW ya can deposit crystals for cr in the arcade, or say that they don't have enough...
