Attention ******. If you decide to play on a team, be a member of the team. Don’t try to get everyone to notice what an amazing job you are doing.

Blaster teammate: Did you see that! I was totally tanking that mob.
Me: Yes, those cold shields and quicksand had nothing to do with it. *eyeroll*
Ha, I know a Tanker who would rave about his epic power hold, and how he used it to hold an AV... yup, the ice blaster, earth controller, and dark defender had nothing to do with it bud, all you. Booyah!

The only thing that really bugs me is when people hospital right away when dying...after I ask them to wait for vengeance.

The rez is just a thank-you for all the +def you just gave me.

Teammates (if they can be called that) that immediately use an awaken when they fall in battle, when they've been asked not to several times, while I'm on a Radiation Corruptor that has taken powers designed to take advantage of the situation: Vengeance, Fallout, Recall Friend, and Mutation.

LOL! We were running a +4 STF this weekend (get 'em while you can). Went very smooth, but there were a few reminders to please "run into the mobs if you're going to die" by the rad defender.

Is this why both Pie Man (my corruptor) and Frozen Fusion (Badge's corr) are on Jaded speed dial?

It's mutual, Ny.

I'm bad, that's something that I need to be reminded about.

Is it okay after the 63 month point if I lose my clue again? Consider it gaming alzheimers. By the time I get to my 80 month point I will be wearing diapers and drooling on myself.

Well . . . to be fair, I will be doing it involuntarily then, rather than by choice.



I don't actually have anything to contribute to this conversation. I love everyone equally.

(read: I don't team enough anymore for any of the listed annoyances to be a regular problem and usually view them as amusing novelties. Of course, I am pretty sure that I am guilty of many of the listed things too. . . . hmmmm)

I've missed you Ish. I'd hug you, but then I know where you've been...

The wet paper bag I put Badge in must have been thicker material or he is still reading the comic book I left in there.

Sometimes, I impress my boss. Sometimes, I impress myself. The rest of the time, I scare people. I can live with that.

Rads who don't have thier toggles.

Now let me be fair. I'm not talking about when your exemp'd down for a TF or something, I know people make builds in various ways and sometimes a power gets taken later, cause if your like me, you don't always plan your build with "How will I be at lvl X" in mind. Case in point, anything below lvl 20 and I have one, ONE, attack on Rasta, my Neutrino bolt.

But seriously. RI and EF is a Rad's bread and butter. Not having these ( and I know I'm about to tick some folks off with the following examples, but lighten up, it's just my opinion ) is like an empath without Heal Other, a Kin without Fulcrum Shift, A Tank without taunt, A Mastermind without pets, or a troller/dom without holds.

This can be wonderful, IMO.

What I really hate are people/a team:
— that won't say ANYTHING. Not even acknowledge instructions.
— who cannot grasp what a pull is or how to do one, but insist on trying anyway.
— who play a tank (or really any AT) that can only use ONE tactic and insists on doing everything that way... to the detriment and annoyance of the rest of the team. Not every group needs to be herded/pulled/etc.
— informing everyone on the team how they should be playing their characters without being asked.
— making people wait on them continuously. Whether that is "wait, X buff is almost up" or constant AFK-ing, it is obnoxious.

I have infact seen an Emp without heal other. It made me cry. They took absorb pain instead. I died a little inside.

I hate being on a team where everyone else (or MOST everyone else) is on teamspeak/vent/skype and dont' bother to share the team plan with those of us stuck in chat.

Or those who are off in ts/vent/skype talking to each other and don't bother to talk to the rest of the team at all.

Yeah, makes for a really, really fun team for the non voice player.

Quick question - why not pick up a mic? TS doesn't take up all that much resources on the comp, and you can get a fairly ok headset/mic for fairly cheap. You could even use just a pair of earphones to hear what's going on - you wouldn't be able to talk, but at least it's an option?

Because I solo, dear. It's one less power I won't be using, so...

That said: ANCHOR KILLERS.
I have a Dark/Rad Corr without it as well - and yeah, i only solo with him (my Rad/Rad that teams took it the moment it became available).
People joining T/SFs for XP purposes with no intention of finishing them.
And many of the other things already mentioned above

Ooo...guilty. I've been on both sides of this one...it's really something you need to be aware of because it's so easy to forget.

What he said....

....when you ARE on TS, interacting with the people there, it's very very easy to forget if not everyone is there. It's certainly NOT a deliberate snub... you just forget.

I've actually gotten frustrated with players who weren't following instructions.... when they weren't following instructions because they weren't on TS to HEAR the instructions.

Yayyyyy a topic I have an opinion on. The award in this poll is shared by "I play a tank so I am a great brute" guy and the "I play defenders so corruptors are easy" guy. Oh, and the "herding to here" guy gets honorable mention with the fury-killing "Gather for buffs" guy coming in a close 4th.

Because, unfortunately, my computer WON'T run TS AND CoH reliably. ONe or the other lags and I have to sacrifice one or the other... and logging out CoH defeats the purpose... not everyone has a big honkin' computer so they can run everything at once.

Also, if one doesn't know the others are on TS until halfway thru whatever they are doing or until the end... how do you join them?

AND... how do you join when you aren't invited?

AND... like sooner said, I've been berated more than once for not "following the plan"... only problem is, I didn't have the freakin' plan, because the plan was only shared in TS/vent/skype.

It's those in TS and the rest of the team doesn't know it, that I gripe about. Tell people when you start "there are 4 or 3 or 6 of us in TS while we do this or run this team."

LOL This has happened to me as well. The others were using skype I think on one team I was on and they went off killing and I went in sliming down the AV's crowd and no one was around. I was thinking...umm...here's the AV....and typed it to. They filled me in after that. They got caught up and forgot I wasn't on it. Myself...I have several things going on and just not much of a "talker", so I don't or haven't used any of those.
