I'd just been recruited to start an STF last night. Things were going smoothly until right before we began the leader says to me...
Him:"You don't have any IO sets on you?" Me: "No, just SOs atm" Him:"Are you sure that you want to do this TF then? It's gonna be really hard and you're gonna get owned alot." Me: "Umm, I'll be just fine." And he actually had to nerve to say this to me Him:"Hmm okay, I'll let you join us, but please make sure that you don't slow us down." I could MAYBE understand where he was coming from if I were the lead tank for the TF, but I was a freaking Ill/Kin! Oh, it gets worse. Because I didn't have my SOs, the guy felt the need to "coach" me throughout the TF. When I'd forgotten to give the Granite tank his daily dosage of SB, he sends me a tell saying... Granite: SB Plz (team chat) Leader: Please don't forget to SB him! Me: Dont worry I got him Leader: But you didn't have him. A good kin is always aware when SB is fading Me: Umm, okay. Don't worry, it gets better We're fighting Ghost Widow and the tank is advised to stay in melee range with her while the rest of us use our ranged attack so she cant heal off of us. I then decide to let loose my PA to help get more damage in on her. His response Leader: What are you doing!? Why'd you summon them? Now she's gonna heal off of them Me: Huh? Leader: You're phantom army! Me: They're decoys. She can't heal off of them so it doesn't matter Leader: Yes she can, I've seen it before! Me: Oh really? Leader: Yes really, now please unsummon them. Me: Alright, if you say so. Fortunately, we managed to beat the TF in a little over an hour, but MAN did I want to just cyberslap that guy. "Sigh" Anyways, am I the only whose had to deal with players like this? If not than please share your story. |

Steelclaw: 1) "Well, I have recipes and I have salvage... if you have an hour or so I can hook myself up." Steelclaw: 2) "Input/Output sets? Umm... please tell me that isn't a computer nerd euphanism for dirty rp..." Steelclaw: 3) "Enhancements are for wimps who don't know what REAL heroing is..." Him:"Are you sure that you want to do this TF then? It's gonna be really hard and you're gonna get owned alot." Steelclaw: 1) "Get owned? Are you SURE IO set isn't a euphanism?" Steelclaw: 2) "Owned? Allow me to provide you with your own copy of the Emancipation Proclomation." Steelclaw: 3) "S'okay... I'm working on my debt badge anyway." Steelclaw: 4) "Wait... Owned? Nah... I'm just planning on hanging out by the mission door anyway..." Him:"Hmm okay, I'll let you join us, but please make sure that you don't slow us down." Steelclaw: 1) "You have a Granite Tank in the group and you're worried about ME slowing us down?" Steelclaw: 2) "Oh sure, sure... no problem... ummm... The ITF is that one Positron gives out right? Should I meet you in Steel Canyon?" Steelclaw: 3) "Oh thank goodness! The last team that let me join forced me to have dirty rp with the guy holding the star. It wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't kept passing the darned thing around." Granite: SB Plz (team chat) Leader: Please don't forget to SB him! Steelclaw: 1) "If he doesn't stop complaining SB gonna stand for Smacka B**ch..." Steelclaw: 2) "Don't look at me... YOU hired him." Steelclaw: 3) "I'm sorry... you see... I don't have IO's slotted... so my SB recharge takes foreeeeeeeeeeever." Leader: But you didn't have him. A good kin is always aware when SB is fading Steelclaw: 1) "When exactly did I say I was a good kin?" Steelclaw: 2) "Excuse me, but I'm an ILLUSION/Kin... any goodness on my part is a figment of your imagination." Steelclaw: 3) "Oh come on... you can't tell me that you don't find it funny as heck when he runs in place and only inches forward like that..." Steelclaw: 4) "And ruin my entertainment?! Heck no! Beg for my SB... BEG FOR IT!! Who's your daddy... who's your daaaaaaddy?!" Leader: What are you doing!? Why'd you summon them? Now she's gonna heal off of them Steelclaw: 1) "I didn't summon them! Okay... who the heck summoned the store manequins?! Come on... own up!" Steelclaw: 2) "Yes, but since they're illusory the damage she heals won't be real... it's genius!" Steelclaw: 3) "Huh? Oh PA stands for Phantom Army... sorry, I thought it stood for Public Announcement... I was going to inform everyone not to summon pets since she'd just heal off of them." Leader: You're phantom army! Steelclaw: 1) "Wait... you can SEE them? The guy who sold me this power said they were PHANTOMS... what a rip off!" Steelclaw: 2) "Wow... I bet Masterminds must really love you..." Steelclaw: 3) "Hey... you're one of those time-travelling team leaders aren't you? You know... the one who travel backwards in time so they think the proper way to manage a team is to warn people what not to do AFTER they've already done it." Leader: Yes she can, I've seen it before! Steelclaw: 1) "And I've seen intelligent and effective leadership before... doesn't mean it's ALWAYS true." Steelclaw: 2) "Really? Then do you see the gremlins too? Please tell me you do... they've been stealing my left socks." Steelclaw: 3) "Well huh... I have an idea... why don't we just sit here and watch her and see if she is able to heal off them? We can even make a wager about it... just to warn you though... if I win my winnings are going to involve your mouth and some duct tape." Leader: Yes really, now please unsummon them. Steelclaw: 1) "I can't unsummon a summoned pet without the Kick option... pass me star so I can get rid of that troublesome team member for us..." Steelclaw: 2) "You know... you really put the Task in Task Force... and I don't say that about just anyone." Steelclaw: 3) "Sorry... I can't just this moment... I have to SB the tank." |

Me: Hi, I heard you're doing a MoSTF? Him: What are you bringing? Me: I have a widow with all the team buffs. Him: Tell me when you're here. Me: Do you have people signed on yet? I need to head to the market. Him: Didn't you read my text in the channel? Me: No, a friend told me about it. Him: Just come on over. Me: Do you have a source of +RES? I can stop and get oranges if not. Him: How about you let me build the team? Me: I just wanted to know whether to get inspirations. Him: Either you want to come or you don't. Me: Nevermind then! |

No, really. I have a draft guide on "How to Suck at CoH". I'm trying to be reasonably comprehensive. |

You may get your badge out of it, but it'll be the least enjoyable experience you've had in the game in the process. |

Next Kevin Costner film - "Teams With Jerks"
I like to wormhole the Weakened Hamidon in LGTF. Straight up.

Oh, another favorite:
In between waves during a blue side respec, I'll type "Trust test" in team chat then use the vet team teleport power to send as many of them as I can underneath the reactor (there's a gap between the reactor and the flooring around it).

Heh. This thread reminds me....
I once invited a Dark Defender to my team instead of an Empath as a team member suggested. When he saw what I invited, he goes to call me a noob for inviting a Dark over an Empath.....
"cause dark don't have heals"
My brain then shut down for a few seconds because it failed to process any further information that the individual was saying about how Empathy was superior to Dark. When he proceeded to curse at me, I booted him from the team.
