Apparently, he was spergy enough to complain about being trapped for a while, and then just quit the server. Alternately, just keep a bucket of water on you and do the water parachute trick. (For anyone who doesn't play minecraft, because of the way water works you can deploy a water source block from a bucket of water, scoop it back up, and safely ride the blocks of flowing water it spawns down to the ground. It's an easy way to get down from anything)

Double Monocle posted:"Lacking a proper ring, I decided to propose with a boat" TKing does never get old, but I think my favorite is griefing the other team. I had a game of CS:GO earlier where this guy was dominating gun game to the point that he declared that he was done playing gun game, and was switching to knife game. He then proceeded to win gun game using only his loving knife while some little kid on the other team screamed at everyone about what a cheating _________ (insert whatever you want, he said it at some point) this guy was. It was glorious, he was griefing the other team and making them ragequit en masse by just being so god drat good.

Gabriel Pope posted:I don't have the time for MMOs nowadays but holy christ this game looks awesome. You actually have time for this if you have, oh, an hour a day to play if you want to progress in just about everything every day, half an hour if you want to focus on just a couple things, and like five minutes a day if you really, really don't have time and just want to login, do a little basic maintenance, and log out. Part of the beauty of the game is that it is legitimately not grindy. You level EVE style (if you don't pay a sub, you have to be logged in but can be afk) where just existing gets you levels, it can be sped up significantly by logging in once every day and mashing buttons to burn some in-game money to speed it up (takes five minutes), can be sped up even more if you do the DDR minigame (takes like half an hour to an hour to get a group together and finish, if you do it with Goons). There's endless amounts of poo poo to do, but for basic "I just want to be able to punch people effectively," that's about it. Also it is only pay to win in the same way that EVE is - you can throw some money their way for some minor nice things, and gaining any actually significant advantage is prohibitively expensive. We had a Goon throw money at the game to catch up on everyone who was about three weeks ahead of him, and the last estimate I heard was that he had to blow something like six hundred bucks for it. I imagine a fully maxed out character would cost at least a few grand. I swore off MMOs a long time ago because they were either grindy, boring, carebear, or all three, and Age of Wushu is my literal perfect MMO. Combat is fun, you can get by on very little time per day if you want (leveling all the gathering skills is the most time consuming thing I've done so far), and it is a never ending fountain of pubbie tears. The griefing is beautiful and profitable and

Since the average kid playing Call of Duty on 360 takes the game way too seriously, you'll typically end up seeing entire teams based around the same few weapons, perk setups, equipment and play style.

Corbeau posted:That sounds less like griefing and more like the best game ever designed. That's honestly my favorite part about this game. There's so much to be done to grief pubs through completely legitimate in-game mechanics. My own (much less awesome and sweeping) story was of a simple brawl. I was getting a group ready to run an instance, some guy who has an e-honor bone to pick with me tried to gank me with a friend. One of my guys jumps in, we trash them. They come back with more dudes and kill us and corpse camp us as best they can, but soon get bored and leave. I find one of them and kill him again, because gently caress him. He puts a bounty on my head - small, but money is money - so after I run my instance, I go to a safe spot, log in my alt that can hunt bounties, and kill myself, springing up a global message "The criminal known as Magres. has been captured by Magres..!" I then get an angry PM from sir pubbelorde about what a cheap bastard I am for harvesting my own bounty.

Man, Dark Souls does the EXACT same thing. There are about half a dozen Black Knight enemies throughout the early game. They're perfectly killable at level one if you know what you're doing, but will murder you repeatedly if you don't. They each have a chance to drop whatever weapon that particular knight uses, as well as their shield, but none of the ones early in the game respawn. Of maybe a dozen characters I have made, I have never had Black Knight weapons on the half dozen big stupid fighters I've made, and have had at least one drop on the majority of the mages I have made, because

Dreggon posted:Loveable, trustworthy Patches story I love DaS CosPvP stories so much, and I love that Dark Souls pretty much gives you carte blanche to go grief pubbies. I, personally, like Dickwraithing because I am a colossal jerk and it's an easy way to blow off some steam and laugh at angry angry nerds. (Dickwraithing involves slogging through the game enough at minimum level to get a bunch of gear that is much stronger than you would have on a normal playthrough of the game, then invading and generally one or twoshotting invadees because your gear is so strong.) My favorite story by far was the day I invaded "Z3rg Kill3r." I find him, wave like we're gonna duel like nice pubs, then send him a message spouting e-honour and avenging the noble zerg peoples he has harmed and wronged. I type up a quick message to have ready, then sprint at him and shank him in the back, instantly killing him, then bring back my message and send it to him. The message? "ZERG RUSH KEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKE" He was maaaaddd My other decent story is being a holy acolyte of Gwyn, Lord of Flame and DANCING! ALWAYS DANCING! I'd invade people, set up a circle of shiny little lights at the bottom of a ladder leading up to a boss door, then send my invadees a message along the lines of "GWYN, LORD OF FLAME AND DANCING DEMANDS A SACRIFICE. DANCE AND BE SPARED, REFUSE AND DIE BY FIRE." Pretty straightforward, right? For most people, it certainly was, and I had a lot of fun dancing around and dropping items for my dancerbros. But about once every ten Dancevasions, someone just didn't get it, would tell me to gently caress off, try to climb my most sacred of ladders, then die horribly to fire spam and rage at me for using high end gear in lowbie invasions. I love DaS so much

Something from a couple days ago in Wushu. On Friday night, the GMs decided to run a "Hunt a GM" type event. They used the in game bounty system, where you can put a cash bounty on the head of someone who has killed you, to put massive bounties on themselves (over three times as big as actual players can put on each other). Obviously, the pubs were all gungho to go murder the GMs and make a quick buck. And of course, Goons simply could not let this come to pass, and became the GMs' secret service protection detail. We ran around in a big ball murdering anyone who went near our precious, precious GMs. At first the GMs had no idea what the hell we were doing and wouldn't listen to us when we told them to come with us so we could guard them better, probably making the reasonable assumption that we were just trying to bait them to somewhere private so we could easily take the bounty for ourselves. After getting a GM isolated by chance and setting up a protective perimeter, though, they realized we were on the level. GM_Scorch turns to Jerkjerk, the guy running the show on the Goon end, and says "So, where we going?" We took our new President to the throne room of the imperial city, set him up on the giant golden throne, and held the line for a solid twenty minutes against all the pubbies trying to break in and murder our protectee, screaming battlecries for the glory of Mr. President (or Madam President for some of the female avatars). I have seen many things, I have never seen pubbies accuse Goons of kissing up to GMs. I don't think they realize that our goal wasn't to kiss up to the GMs, it was to sew as much chaos and havoc as possible.

CraigK posted:HOW TO GRIEF DOTA: ~3 Easy Steps~ I mean, that's not exactly hard to escape if you're not terrible. Courier a teleport scroll out then check the "Disable Help" box to keep it from happening again. Wisp griefing isn't particularly original or hard to stop (and the more fun grief is to warp them into the enemy fountain, anyway) The better grief is to grab four friends, everyone gets Dagon (an item that gives you a nuke on a moderate cooldown), refuse to buy boots (an item that makes you run faster), then the five of you stroll around pretending to be Southern Gentlemen, shooting those drat Yankees with your muskets and talking about how the women back home make better sweet tea than these confounded Northerners. You'll almost certainly lose, but drat if it isn't fun to do and funnier than hell. Regarding the DotA/LoL forever war, I have no problem with LoL players (I've played about 1500 games of it and got pretty good before bouncing back to DotA when DotA 2 released), I have a problem with Riot, for reasons I won't go into because it would lead into an endless argument. Most DotA players I know don't really give a poo poo if people play League, we just dislike Riot for actively trying to piss on our game.

I definitely agree with RG and Beggar having the best instant gratification, but would say if you want to play long term and make a character that will eventually be an invincible Goku, Wudang is your best bet. They're the best base class for making a multiclassing powerhouse monster. If you want to know why, ask in the Wushu thread and we can do mmo math sperging there, I don't want to poo poo up this thread with it.

spootime posted:Not so much griefing as it is just playing in a creative style but I've played against this guy in lobbies and he is really good. That being said fan scout is legit as gently caress. Fan was so overpowered for a while that a lot of servers banned it. The knockback wasn't dependent on how many pellets actually landed, so even a grazing hit on someone would send them flying (it also did WAY too much damage to be balanced). It was so good for griefing snipers, I would go to 2fort and launch them off their stupid little balcony without killing them, just to be a jackass.

The thing is, if you use a "suboptimal" strat and people have no idea how the gently caress to deal with it, it is then actually a strong strategy. Just because it's gimmicky and will lose to someone who knows how to fight it doesn't make it useless. drat near any strat will lose if people know exactly how to fight it, it's just that some are harder to learn to deal with than others

I mean, it does ostensibly make crybabies feel better about getting murdered (PvP is entirely optional in that game, you can only be invaded if you are in Human form, which is optional), but the spot they're fighting in is one of a few "this is where everyone goes to duel" type spots. Some people will indict because "yay more fighting" but now that I'm off my phone and can watch the vid, that was definitely a rage indict. Dude was mad that he stopped being able poo poo up duels with his infinite health, maxed stats bullshit for a moment.
