How comes such people are still around?

[Sly.]

What the title says.
Being insulted as a nazi and various other insults without any apparent reason for the whole match is not really what you expect when you want to play a match.
Some screenshots to show you what I mean:



I'm not very pleased...

[Bl!tz~]

1 idiot more ....just ignore him...lol...all is in his name

he just tryed to break ur flow with insults , i hope u ve kiked his butt^^

[Sly.]

Well, I didn't really play. Just took screenshots and shot his head with my sniper off while he was in midair and barely visible - he was p***ed lol
I waited until he left (with support of others in the match). That's the other side of the medallion:
The (real) community tries to help somebody rather than just ignoring such stuff.

The next match (when he was gone) was fine though. Scored almost all scores in the game and switched between the teams, won with 6:5 (just one score from the red team wasn't mine, I was blue). Very balanced match actually but it was an uneven number.

PS: I just hate these "simple-minded" players with prejudices, trolls and spammers. Of course people are insulting each other in matches (in most cases it's sarcasm and meant as jokes, example: "Sly you @$$hole! Why did you do that? :P") but this guy was definitely overdoing it. Especially as a German you feel quite offended when someone calls you a "nazi b*st*rd".

[Jetpack_Jack]

Sorry to hear that Sly, I've met a few morons like that. I just don't get people who seem to enjoy 'trolling, spamming & sabotage' where's the fun in it???
Maybe they were the victim of something that turned them weird, bitter & twisted (like school bullies), who knows!

... or are they one step further down the 'weird path' and used to be like «MechikTåj» & JetSpandex? ..... LOL

Hope you shrug it off ok; cmon now Sly, keep it together man

JP-J

[Sly.]

Thanks for the support!

I think such people should just get banned from UT- once and for all.
A "clean" UT will cause a better atmosphere, thus a nicer gaming environment.

My reaction was pretty much like this and my only thoughts were "How comes that such people are still around trying to troll and insult others for some unknown reason if the playercount decreased (quite a lot over the last year)? And how comes they have fun doing this?".

I think players should report such people to get rid of them. I doubt that anybody wants to play with such people or wants newcomers to be scared of by them. :/

Well said; perhaps we can compile a list of suspects to add to Flak's 'naughty list'? HeHeHe

"Our enemies are only as powerful as we allow them to be."
-Me; I think. xD

Are you really going to allow some random douchebag on the internet (who doesn't even know you and whom you don't know) ruin your gaming experience? Come on... There are always going to be jerks around - be it trolls, assclowns or genuinely malicious people. Just laugh it off and throw whatever **** they throw at you right back at them and continue enjoying yourself.

LOLZ @ Jack!
Jet and I are "The Lolol Twins" according to some Greed player... I rather like that title!

I want more poetry, Jack!!! ^^

nice one

[JetSpandex]

lololololololololololololololololololol I am twin of MechikTaj from the regal LOL family.
SLY! I think trolls make the game more fun sometimes, e.g. Doctorr_Remulak (Mech knows what I mean).
I get to try out vomit-inducing, knee-slapping comebacks when trolls are around.
If you genuinely hate trolls, the best thing to do is ignore them.
It's not as if your best friend is forsaking you; it's some random guy on the internet talking trash.

[Gameslaya]

If I were you, I woulda insulted him in German to make him madder.

Trolling the trolls is a rather fun activity if you have the right frame of mind. (As in, you are laughing at his stupidity rather than being offended by it).

[Fragaman]

Hi all, new here.

I played with and against this A*hole ..this Sarge person. He sabatoged the game and we lost by one point.
He seems to call all germans nazi...but he actually sounds like one .Anyways we just trashed talked back and he left without a goodbye.

MAD

[HideInLight]

Heroes of Newerth was down for like 5 days due the a DDOS attack. So they player population had to go look for something else to play.

[Sly.]

lol
That might have been the reason!

Welcome Fragaman!

He seems to call all germans nazi...but he actually sounds like one .Anyways we just trashed talked back and he left without a goodbye.

Great to read I'm not the only one.

I still think something has to be done against such players. Just think of the newcomers to the series... The first impression of a game is the most important one and if they meet such people they'll just stop playing the game before they actually started to really play it.

[CyberneticPhoenix]

It is best to just either ignore them or just laugh at the troll's random spams of facts.
But trolls do like to keep the game more entertaining.

[SniperHF]

In a game with such a small community it would seem obvious to me that most of these types are regulars on an "alt" user name.

[Benfica]

Yes, nazi-trolling has got to stop...

[Izan4gi]

i blame PicantSauce

[geronaho]

Just vote Morbid they will rage.


o e o e o

[VACkillers]

yeah just ignore people like that, only reason they say crap like that is to put you off your own game, the more people say crap like that, the more YOU are getting under their skin with mass ownage!!!

embrace it MUWHAHAHA..

seriously though just ignore people like that, their own fault if they have a self esteem complex problem.

[Ga-Reef]

That's called profanity, it happens alot on online. Best thing to do is keep playing and ignore him until he gets kicked or banned. *Warning* Do not feed the troll, he'll only distract you more. Don't even whipser. Just be a silent assassin.

I thought profanity was about spewing bad words? I do that a lot, especially when things go horribly wrong.

[NovaZzZ]

I will agree that there are a lot of ignorant noobs in the UT3 community. One reason we can't have any newbies stay to get better is because we have ignorant players that type bad things that may offend other players from playing again. Trust me, I've seen in it plenty of servers, plenty of times.

[Sly.]

^This. That's exactly what I was saying most of the time
Those who rage a lot at newcomers are a huge problem, I've seen it often enough. A newcomer doesn't know what to do with the orb or leaves a Raptor at the enemy base when he wants to take the flag - but instead of "teaching" him and explain what he has done wrong and why he should avoid that people just insult him as an idiot, a noob, write "gtfo you stupid *insert another insult here*" or do something else and what happens the next 2-5 minutes? The player leaves and you don't see him again...

[Bl!tz~]

u know it happen to old players too, last nite on my own server (runs morpheus3 since 3 yrs at least on ut2k4) by "pro" player who wasnt abble to join mokkum server where he play habitually...
he have spend all his time to comment the map and the players on the server, here s some of his ideas:
-this s**t map isnt official
-only newbies plays here
-weapon stay is for lamers
-low grav suxx
-nothing but the "league"...?? wtf is that ?esl.eu?
the guy was really skilled, so i bet he s a long time player, but each time someone was trying to reply to him he was typing/killing....he was like lot of "pros" rushing on the shield belt (sort of viagra imo) .....overusing the minigun to fix his lack of accuracy on long range aiming and using insultant words to everyone around him...
...nope i ve not banned him, we was a bunch of old farts on the server...we watched him doing his "spectacle" and than he left....
noone invited him to play on our newbie server and we force noone to play on morpheus with or without weapons stay

if i have no problem to deal with a newbie raging & calling me with bird names i really dont understant & accept how long time players can still so stupid....but bah! long time player doesnt mean mature...right

[Oldskool0482]

that guy was in epic vctf #2 yesterday trying to piss off the NA vctf community but wasn't working and it was making him rage so bad. We just laughed at him then went to DFB because well we like customs.

I'll be honest I do get pissed off a noobs, but its never for not knowing what to do usually. Most of the time its when they start running their mouth about how their team won and blah blah blah, when they had no decision on the outcome. Like warfare team red wins, top 2 playes over 200 points, bottom player on there team is noob 1, who has 20 points for 3 rounds. He starts talking **** on blue because his team won. Now is that right? no. Yes the top 2 red team players who actually know what the hell is going on don't say a word. I just can't stand people who don't know whats going on or are not good enough to even start to talk **** who talk ****.

[Sly.]

Oh yes, that server is really nice, I fav'd it yesterday. I wish we EU folks had a server with all those awesome custom maps and all default maps! Most vCTF servers are Suspense Only... Sure, Suspense is a nice map but it gets boring after a while, apart from that it has some minor flaws and bugs (I could fix it if there is no fixed version yet and if admins would be willing to put it on servers). CTF is not popular so I will have to stick with vCTF... The The Last server is the only similar one that I can think of. And geez, you guys even have a vCTF version of Lava Giant and a remake of Atari Tanks!!
At least I have a decent ping on that server. Will visit it more often in the future so maybe we'll meet again for some vCTF matches Oldskool!

Seems like that guy is not just on EU servers...
Such trolls should get a permanent ban on servers for the sake of the newcomers!

[TKBS]

LMAO
AAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


- i know this player :

- he insults me all the time - LMAO

- if you really care that much i can give you his UID etc:

- i have not banned him from our servers - but someone else is more than welcome to ban his game key [Crazy, BastardBrain, Fijut etc etc]

- seriously what is worse - a 1 line insult - or a 4 page thread that is more active people than UT3 itself.??

- play on our server and this crap does not happen
*p.s. i would be happy to ban this person on the grounds of insults: but is it necessary?
[hint hint to my fellow admins ]

[Bl!tz~]

[coolcat22]

yeah
was thinking it
too bad i did not type it

[Sly.]

Well, this could be one of the reasons why UT3 has almost no new players nowadays. Think about it.

This attitude is very prevalent among the competitive players and has been since day one. It's the old "l337" attitude carried over from the first generation of UT players in it's new "scrub" form.

They either don't realize or don't care that this attitude has played a huge role in the demise of the game. They use negativity and disrespect to draw attention to themselves instead of being positive and encouraging.

They are also very poor losers. A month or so ago I was playing with one of these players and won the match. Instead of congratulating me and taking the loss like a man, the person starts going off on me calling me a "mini-whore" and wanting to "1vs1" LOL. He just kept going on about how " I suck" and need to "1vs1" him.

I left after that match. Sometimes I just don't feel like playing with these people. They remind me of my 12 year old spoiled brat nephew.

^^. I also kicked some players spreading their insults to the chat. He re-joined after some minutes and was quiet.

Sly, i see you're playing VCTF. What's your ingame name? Quite nice to see an active player from Germany .

[jomi294]

Well, this could be one of the reasons why UT3 has almost no new players nowadays. Think about it.

Global warming could also possibly be one of the reasons why UT3 lacks success. Probably not though, else someone should send the memo to Activision and Microsoft that bad manner makes games unpopular
.

[Taffy]

I don't think anyone needs a memo, common sense says most players want to play on a server where there aren't a bunch of raging assholes.

Wow, still trying to act like TSM? You're not even remotely funny as him. I finally got to see your ugly rat face, what a nerd cat 4 eye freak loser.

[Benfica]

This obviously has nothing to do with newbies, but with the fact that political correctness has double standards on the Internet

[jomi294]

You would think so, but then the numbers speak otherwise. I guess it'll always hold true when the demographic of players ranges from 12 to 12 years old.

[Bl!tz~]

... Sometimes I just don't feel like playing with these people....

thats it! after a hard day of work, u open a beer and try to relax a little...+.+
