Ridiculously unfair stuff in multiplayer

[Terrible Opinions]

The plasma gun in Tribes: Ascend for about the five days before they fixed it. Your hitbox for the purposes of that thing hitting you was something along the lines of three to four times that of normal.
But then they fixed it and I was happily doing well in Arena again. Still a bit of a pain to play against, but nothing so insurmountable as it was before they fixed it.

People who intentionally cause lag in CTF of the same game. Pathfinder comes in and grabs the flag under guise of lag and you don't even get told about it until he's teleported 1/4 the way back to his base.

Dark days, komrade.

Dark days.

I still say that tac/orb strikes are more broken than any plasma hitbox, jackal airburst, shrike ram, tech thumper, bolt launcher, sentinel, or whatever we're complaining is OP this week, though.

TF2, 95% ubercharge, A WILD CROCKET APPEARS!

Fuck random crits.

Whoever thought that was a good idea has no concept of game balance.

I find random crits to be on my side on a 65% of the time and againstme 35%. But then again i mostly play heavy, so i can survive crits and if i get them i can also kill at long range.
HA

Flying a helicopter in battlefield 3. Getting kills covering the objective for you teammates to move up and spotting everyone you see. Dodging rockets and backing off if I get multilocked. Then a jet smashes into my rotor and he flies of while I'm sent careening towards the ground. Jump out and see my co-pilot eviscerated by the blades (bad luck) while I parachute deep behind enemy lines with no hope of rescue seeing as how my allies are bogged down on the beach. If I keep going I'll turn this into a pretty awesome story but that isn't the goal. Jet pilots. Stop flying into my helicopter. It's annoying.

CoD Killstreaks. They're unfairness incarnate.

Winning? Here, take those toys! You clearly need them!

Losing? Shut up and take it while the big boys are having fun, noob... Here's a speed boost so you get killed more quickly. Stop wasting our time!

 

[JasonKaotic]

Ninja'd in the OP? Seriously? Damn.
Yeah, it's best to play Dark Souls offline. It seems to be a lot more immersive without all the signs around too.

Really anyone that uses Wesker in UMVC3 doesn't care for a fair fight . Best tip i have recieved for dealing with wesker is , don't get hit ... EVER .

Ah I was going to mention Wesker in my OP. But hey I, and many other people have raged against him enough I think, i'd end up sounding like a broken record XD

This will just about sum up how everyone who has ever played UMVC3 feels about Wesker anyway

OH, HE GETS A RANDOM CRIT? WHY DON'T I EVER GET RANDOM CRITS? I KNOW YOU HATE ME AND LOVE HIM MORE, GAME, JUST SAY IT AND I'LL FEEL BETTER KNOWING THAT IT'S THE TRUTH.

Favorite weapons: Eyelander, Chargin' Targe, Sniper Rifle, Axetinguisher, Flare Gun, Degreaser, Kritzreig, Bushwacka... or, most weapons that utilize earning crits through technique over being handed one randomly (and some weapons don't even randomly crit at all). And when your technique is blown apart by a 4% chance that is aimed directly at you... fuck that.

 

[ZippyDSMlee]

While not a MP rant I do find that nukeing and nerfing stuff for Pvp when theres nothing wrong with the game but for whiny PvP players is a bit...disheartening. Its called make PvP follow its own set of rules, like reduce stuff 1-100% without messing with game itself.....it tends to make me stop paying for MMOs....

 

[Lethos]

And legit Invasions (both by me and against me) are actually pretty fun! Can you buy Cracked Red Eye Orbs from anywhere that's not the Darkwraiths? Because I really don't want to have to rush the Four Kings to get them... Ever.

Get high enough in the DW covenant and you get a pure Red Eye Orb that never breaks. Alternatively just go to the forest in human form or join the FHC.

There is not enough rage for wesker , until his health is nerfed . Let him keep his damage and his speed , and his godly assist , and his self OTG and his teleports . Just for the love of god , give him the same amount of life as strider or akuma.

Or better yet, nerf his health down to Phoenix levels and watch as everyone drops him near instantly nyahahahaha! Usually i'd hate to see the bullshit nerf Phoenix got happen anyone else, but for Wesker... I'd have to make an exception XD

Oh just off topic for a sec, i'm still waiting for a Phoenix Wright to make an appearance in a tourney at some point... Seriously it's like nobody plays him except me. Apparently a character actually having quite a high learning curve equates to being low tier. Who knew?

 

[Risingblade]

EA's servers

Seriously every time I've play the ME multiplayer recently I get kicked off the server in the last 30 of the match


AAAHHHHHHHHH!

It's worst when it happends in the last 15 seconds of wave 11 on gold, almost makes me want to scream

So just a little topic, ever had any insanely unfair games/sessions/team compositions etc etc over the course of your gaming career?

For me it's got to be the Invasion system in Dark Souls 60% of the time. Basically you use an item and you enter a random person's game world and try to murder the fuck out of him for lolz. You only invade upwards level-wise though so you're always supposed to be roundabout the same level as the guy you're invading

People start to abuse the leveling system by not leveling at all and getting end-game equipment (through glitches, getting gifted it or just beating the bosses) to absolutely destroy the newer players they just get matched with. Basically after just about failing a legit Invasion of mine (at level 6 with base eqiupment, naturally) I was then set upon by this guy with the most obcene set of end-game equipment i have ever seen.

Waved at him then quit to dashboard. Not losing my Humanity over such bullshit, and to be honest killing some random noob and taking their probably only Humanity, gains you fuck all and you've just ruined some guy's day...

Another problem comes in from people summoning other people to help fight you off, that on its own is fine, the host has to do whatever it takes to live because you're just waltzing into his game session and trying to ruin potentially hours of progress. But when are actually people summoning guys in advance to wait for your supposedly "random" invade and then ambushing you it starts to seem a bit broken.



Oh, and the Red Soapstone is a joke, never use it. It's meant to be a fair fight where you put your summons down, the guy takes you up on the challenge and you fight to the death. Instead he summons a fuckton of guys, summons you and they all just spawn kill you.

The most annoying thing is when someone invades and when you are about to beat them they sprint away and use the crystal to port out (They can run through mobs that are hostile to you)

I have had so many people do that, It's like 'You started it at least see it through!'

It's not the learning curb . Phoenix wright is only good after he gets all his evidence . And then you still need to get hit by him . Hes actually very easy to avoid . Since his movement sucks . Too much preperation needed, but if you manage to actually do it hes nigh unstopable . Also is his level 3 unblockable? Or it hits anywhere as long as you are touching a button? I guess you COULD make a team revolving around him , but it's pretty unreliable.

I'd love to see a phoenix wright , hsien-ko, strider team though . Plus another downside to phoenix write is ... Hes nOt wesker.

I still can't believe he has that fucking sunglasses buff.

The USAS 12 w/ Grenade Shells in BF3... In an otherwise fairly well balanced game, it stands out as extremely OP. The Saiga or DAO-12 w/ Grenade Shells is alright, but you won't see it doing *that*.

The last time I recall something in a BF game being that out of whack was in BF: Vietnam (not bad company dlc), when the American support class had both a shoot-from-the-hip M60 and a Bazooka.
