Shamefur Dispray!

[Zaeseled]

Yeah, that was the best title I could come up with, sorry.
Whenever I play WoW, and I have to be summoned to a raid or instance, I feel shame in myself, I hate to make people wait, and hate even more having to make people wait AND THEN immediately teleport me to them.
Whenever I play TF 2 and someone I'm healing dies, I feel shame for not being able to keep them alive (not always my fault, I know. Sometimes the healee is an idiot).
And whenever I play as a sniper in TF 2 and don't kill someone with a headshot, I feel shame. What kind of a scrub sniper doesn't score 100% headshots?

Do you ever feel shame/embarrassment over some of your actions? No matter how silly?
These things don't have to be universal, they'll be embarrassing/shameful only in your own mind.
Captcha: ermahgerd, capcher (lol)

 

[Daft Ada]

I'm rubbish at FPS multiplayer games post Perfect Dark and can't aim for toffee. I also have a tendancy to get grenade trajectories completely wrong and end up blowing myself up.

 

[Zhukov]

I primarily play a support tank in Smite.

I always feel responsible when my teammates bite the dust. There's nothing worse than watching the squishy little bastards die all around you or charge into the wilderness to be picked off.

The problem with being support is that you cannot ever carry your team if they are doing badly. If they're not putting out the damage then there's nothing you can do. A player in any other role can play defensive and just farm up if things go south, maybe get some opportunistic picks if they're clever. Support has no such recourse. Not that that stops people from blaming them.

 

[L. Declis]

Generally I get this with board games. Like I'll be playing Lords of Waterdeep (actually really good, give it a shot) and I'll accidentally pick the wrong quest to do or the wrong building, and I just hold my head in my hands and think "Oh god, why!?"

Or when I play Space Hulk and my Storm Bolter jams or my Thunder Hammer Sergeant fluffs his roll against the first Genestealer, which basically opens up the rest of the team into being nothing more than angry tins of tuna primed to be opened next turn.

And of course, the obligatory "Everyone has shit cards, so let's just all throw in our shit card this turn" round in Cards Against Humanity; I always feel a twinge of shame whenever I have to do that.

 

[fix-the-spade]

Nope, never.

If I miss a shot, I shoot again. If I'm making people wait, there's probably a tactical or strategic reason for this.

If the idiot noob dies whilst I am attempting to heal or repair them, then the world is a better place and my abilities are better spent elsewhere.

Or, I could be in a funny mood and just be trolling everyone for the sake of being a horrible, horrible human being.

Never ashamed though.

 

[Batou667]

Don't worry too much, OP. As long as you tried your best people will appreciate and understand.

I usually play the "support" class in most multiplayer games, so yeah, I'm invested in helping my buddies, but you can't prepare for every act of God, human error, and plain old stupidity.

 

[dragonmith]

Well, I just did this one a few seconds ago, so the sting is still fresh.

Hearthstone, an entire turn of thinking (talking down to the last second), trading away everything, placing more minions and then (only after possibly doing every thing I could have otherwise done) finding out I had lethal.

Considering I was playing Zoo (the epitome of nasty/tryhard decks) it felt even worse somehow.

He added me and called me an *sshat and at that point I kinda agreed with him

 

[ToastiestZombie]

I once allied with Atilla the Hun in Civ 5 to gain some defensive help whilst building up my religion. I felt so idiotic when the inevitable "You were foolish for befriending me! Have at you!" message popped up and I was left with an entire army at my capital's door.

 

[username sucks]

With the reckless, glass cannon playstyle I use in every game, these happen quite often. But when I do good, I really do good. Remind me to tell you about the times I slaughtered entire enemy teams with a mongoose in Halo.

Anyway, the only time I actually feel shameful is in Dark Souls, 1 and 2. I put my summon sign by bonfires pretty often, and so whenever I get summoned I tend to charge straight at all the nooks that are between me and the boss. I don't wait for the guy that summoned me and I use no caution whatsoever, so pretty often I'll just run and die before even reaching the boss. I can only imagine the guy who summons me just facepalming and slowly walking back to the bonfire to summon someone else.

But as I said, when I do good, that boss doesn't stand a chance, unless the guy who summons me is a total scrub.

This. Just play the game and have fun, why feel shameful for anything? No point feeling bad, its just a game.

 

[Someone Depressing]

I feel shame all the time, even when I'm not playing video games.

Shame is basically my boundary in my life, where most people have the potential of failure.

But at one point in Dark Souls a lowered leveled player with crappy equipment ended up invading me, despite the chances of that happening being pretty rare. I didn't hesitate, but out of instinct, I stunlocked him and kicked his ass off of a cliff, which is how I usually deal with invaders before they become an issue. I didn't even give him a chance to let him see that he was outmatched and leave. Just killed him immediately.

Cue pulling my ethernet cable out and playing without online, because I'm too much of a disgusting freak to deserve other human beings.

I also tend to avoid other people in MMORPGs and online games entirely, simply because I hate being a burden. I hate spells or items being wasted on me when someone else could use them, and I hate wasting peoples' time.

 

[Siege_TF]

(as) Blitzcrank: Oh, hi morgana/singed/rammus/tankwick/etc. I, uh, I was actually trying to grab your carry, mind going back to your side without totally screwing up my team? No? Okay, that's cool too I guess.

 

[Ihateregistering1]

Totally unrelated, but this title made me laugh, because all I could think about was the battles in "Shogun 2: Total War", and how the narrator would always talk about a "shamefur dispray!!" whenever your guys would run away.

 

[Denamic]

I forgot I had a sheepstick. I get one so rarely that I always end up not using it or using it too late, and then those 5 million gold are all but wasted.

You.

I like you.

Nothing infuriates me more in WoW than people who'll join a world boss or raid group from halfway across the world map and then just sit there repeating "Summon pls" over and over again rather than moving their lazy ass. It's enough to make me with that they just got rid of Warlock summoning portals altogether.

You come across as the opposite of that.

 

[EyeReaper]

I thought this thread was going to be about Fursuits when I clicked on it. I'm not sure if I'm disappointed or not.

There is really only one times I feel displeased with my gameplay skills, and that's Save Scumming. Honestly, though when my sniper misses a 96% hit-rate, I will reload. It's why I love the respawn mode in Fire Emblem Awakening. Instead of restarting everytime some stray bandit got a critical hit, I can just keep playing and not worry about saving.

 

[Foolery]

I also tend to avoid other people in MMORPGs and online games entirely, simply because I hate being a burden. I hate spells or items being wasted on me when someone else could use them, and I hate wasting peoples' time.

This is exactly why I stopped playing Final Fantasy XIV. The only other time I've felt shameful was when I accidentally torched our entire team with a molotov, playing Left4Dead. Insta-shame-quit.

 

[Rayce Archer]

Left 4 Dead; bungling a death charge then watching my team die one by one to the survivors while I wait to respawn.

Truly a great loss of face.

 

[laggyteabag]

In Hearthstone when you need to use a combination of cards to kill a minion and end up attacking in the wrong order, resulting in you missing some extra points of damage.

Whenever you are the last man standing and you die.

Missing a headshot and having to do the dreaded 2-shot sniper kill and waste ammo, or missing every shot on a moving target BECAUSE SNIPING IS HARD DAMMIT. DON'T JUDGE ME.

Trying to demonstrate how to do something, then failing hard at it.

Missing that one crucial shot, or not having enough mana/stamina/ammo/whatever to make it in the first place.

That one time on WoW when my hunter's DPS was lower than the tank's. That was a dark time for me.
