Probably a Silly Pet Peeve

Not many will back me on this most likely, but is it possible for the developers, specifically those that write mission content not to write dialogue for my characters, especially when that dialogue is written as if it were spoken by a teenage girl? I'm still annoyed by that bit of dialogue about the 3rd or 4th mission in on that 1st Praetorian arc where my 7 foot tall shark supposedly says "really?" at an uncoperative PPD. Better dialogue would be, "Great, you just made my day, now I get to bash your ******* skull in".

Hahaha Tex! I do agree! I would much rather it say things like: "AGREE with Praetor White" or "CHOOSE to yell at so and so" than "Gee, you are so right!" or "You will burn!"

Basically I would like to pick the action of the character, not the text.

My current pet peeves:
The god damned invite cool down timer they put in with I19.
People who ask for invites when they're not inevitable.
Pug stalkers.
People who think they're in charge of the team due to their AT/power set.
Pure healers.

I haven't seen this in a while; I assume you're referring to bossy tanks?

A couple months back, I brought my Stalker to a Sewer Trial that SatHam ran. I think he'll agree that we kicked that run's butt in a big way.

My current pet peeves, in no particular order:
- Day Jobs. Frikkin' hate 'em.
- Kinetic Melee audio.
- Midnight Dodger.
- "No Nukes" in the Cathedral of Pain Trial.
- MBSF

That's pretty much all.

QFT!!!!!! Esp no nukes in COP!!! I feel like they need to let the enemies drop shards even if they do not drop anything else. The thing is too much of a pain for nothing but the end reward.

I'm honestly quite confused by the CoP. I don't know why they didn't completely unlimber it from SGs when they revamped it. They went and fixed Silver Mantis, so they have to know tying it in with a specific SG hampers things. The reward stuff doesn't make much sense either, as they had to know people are going to want rewards for things. Doing a Hami or RWZ raid makes a lot more sense, as both can get you a common (equivalent) and probably a few shards as well. I just hope they don't make the same mistake with whatever these Incarnate trials are that are in I20.

Heh, usually see it in tanks, though not as often as you used to back in the day.

The classic still remains; "You can't kick me, you can't beat the end AV without me."

Tank's buddy: Why'd you kick the tank?

SH: Because he was a ****

Tank's buddy: That was my son!

SH: Well you raised a ****

Tank's buddy: /ragequit

Unless they happened more than once, I was present for both of those events. And so many many others.......

And yet I'm the "***** of the server" ??

They even petitioned me for it too.

GM's never responded to me when I sent back logs showing much worse language on their part.

Oh yeah, I don't team all that often so I tend to remember the "special" people. We were running a Sara Moore and the tank and his buddy would go one way while the other 6 of us went another. Hamster kept saying things like "the team is over here...we're going this way" and the tank would respond with "well I'm over here" and then he started going out of his way to split off from us. I finally said something like "it would be a heck of a thing to get this far into a TF and get kicked" which is when he responded that we needed him to beat the AV then Hamster kicked him.

Hamster I like teaming with you but you get some really special people on your PuG's like the dual-boxer over Halloween.

I just wonder why they didn't just limit the amount of times nukes effects can stack?

Witnessed both, not necessarily on a Hamster team either.

Another pet peeve, reluctant melee. Those who are constantly needing a push to take alpha strikes or to just start mixing it up. Last week I kept having to suck down purples to take the alpha on my Blaster because the Brute just wasn't taking any initiative at all.

I hate to come to Hamster's defense on this specific topic even I tend to hate pug Stalkers. Though it's probably more form a "you're making us look bad" perspective.
