Other than "drama" amongst my in-game friends, team, or SG, the only reason I have ever had to take a break was when I lost one of my Iron Eagles. I deleted him and was just bummed out the rest of the night.

It doesn't anymore, actually. If you're in the middle of a story arc, you cannot possibly outlevel it. If you're above its level-range, the enemies simply don't gain more levels anymore. So you could finish that 26-30 story-arc once you hit 40 and steam-roll everything.|

On the other hand, though, that means that it's very possible to clutter yourself up with story-arcs to the point that new contacts won't give you any new story-arcs anymore, so you have to manually finish all those missions, which really just ends up feeling like a huge waste of time.

The Random Glowies and random maps are a definite killer for me. I really enjoy that every other MMO on the planet has custom maps for every single quest because they are all in a specific location of the world with a unique look and feel. And custom clickies that fit on that specific map. I really hope we not only get new maps with GR, but also more of the glowies from the new missions, like where the computer terminal was in a line of terminals and not randomly in the middle of the hallway.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

Reason I ask is because I was on an 8-man team earlier today and the leader insisted that we fight +0 council mobs. Imo, that's fine when you're trying to gauge the effectiveness of your PuG, but he kept it through every mission; and MAN was it boring. I think I stuck with the team for maybe 3 missions until I decided to leave and find another, but when I did quit, I just felt like...ugh. Anyways, that's just one of my buzzkills; don't get me started on rogue fire/kins. |

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

THIS times a thousand. I mean would it really kill them to give us a bit more room in those maps? ugh...And yes, the layered room was just a bad idea, a really bad one imo.

"You fired off your RAs without warning us so we could make sure we got them!"
"Everyone was close to the boss fighting. I was in the middle of all of you."
"But you might have missed me, and I really needed them!"
"Dude, I was standing right next to you. You weren't going to get missed."
"Next time tell everyone to gather."
"DUDE, I WAS STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO YOU."
"Home is where, when you have to go there, they have to let you in."

This is why I announce that I combat buff, and if anyone doesn't like that idea that they may get out of range of my buffs, then put me on follow. Like it or lump it. |

Complaining about games.
"The side that is unhappy is not the side that the game was intended to make happy, or promised to make happy, or focused on making happy. The side that is unhappy is the side that is unhappy. That's all." - Arcanaville

Two things mainly.
Timid teams. It's one thing to stop and size up a tough-looking group for a couple seconds, especially if the team is running on a high difficulty setting. It drives me nuts when everyone pauses for 10 or 15 seconds before every group we fight, despite the fact that we're steamrolling everything.
Running out of endurance. There's nothing in this game less fun than standing around doing nothing because you don't have enough endurance to fire off any powers (except brawl, which is about as effective as bleeding on your enemies)
Suddenly realizing that me and 1-2 other guys on the full team seem to be doing all the fighting while the Team chat is zipping along about some movie or the chat window is silent while custom AFK bubbles are constantly popping up above the slackers' heads, who coincidentally, all belong to the same SG.
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

Teams that won't stay together. What's so hard about the concept of picking a leader and following him/her?
Sometimes a pug is like trying to herd cats and invariably the worst offenders are off getting killed and blaming the leader, the "healer" or the alignment of the star's but never themselves.
Roberto - I have to say I've been guilty of that. Mainly because I wasn't sure everyone was with me or someone's green/blue bar was very low and I was afraid they might be resting or any of a number of things. I've gotten better now about charging on unless someone specifically calls out for a knee or buff or they look mostly dead and might need a few seconds to recover.
Often, the buzzkill for me is starting a new character only to get into the game and realize it's going to take 20 levels before I might feel like a level 1 superhero.

If I'm asking if the team is ready, I'm likely afraid that the team will wipe when I dive in if they're not ready. Though occasionally I might be afraid that I'll wipe if the Defenders/Controllers aren't ready.

-- The Fox and the Hound
The slow play of a lowbie toon, especially if it's something of a support class AT. I play at oddball hours and sometimes I end up playing on lower population servers. This morning I was on a nice new DP/Dark Corr on Pinnacle at about 10 AM my time. I had just hopped over to Port Oaks and tried a /search - there was one other player in the zone. That toon can solo fine, but a solo "semi-support" toon low levels tends to make for the slowest playing CoH has to offer. Some days that's just too slow for me.
Mu at low levels (ie pre-Stamina). They can barely outdamage my regen cos their attacks suck. I can barely outdamage their regen cos I've got no frikkin' end...
Stone Tanks (or Tanks in general) who play like scrappers. For the love of god please turn around and notice the second purple boss who is tearing your Squishies faces off!!
I don't need to be babysat, but some form of awareness of what's happening with the rest of the team would be nice.
If said Tanker is also a constant "Herding to here" then it's doubly worse.
