What Are Your Pet Peeves In Defiance?

[Jeff Kaos]

Probably my number one pet peeve would have to be during a hellbug arkfall where you have to wait for the bugs to bite the crystal. If it's a fresh fall I can get the crystals health about halfway down alone before someone shows up and starts killing all the skitterlings, thinking that the way to do things is just to blow everything up even when you have an EGO going off every few seconds saying "They're making WEAK SPOTS in the crystal". It takes twice as long to destroy the crystal at that point because your relying on manpower to break away at it.

I really hate this too but I figured out why this happens more than it should. On the Xbox version aim assist is turned on by default and so if someone pulls the aim trigger th crosshairs automatically zero in on the nearest enemy and since skitterlings have such low damage threshhold a single trigger squeeze will kill them. This has happened to me a few times, I aim for the herpes sore but end up hitting the skitterling because it's closer to my crosshairs.

Of course, this doesn't excuse the random mad driver just running over all the bugs. (it doesn't help that overkill counts towards the scoreboard, so running over bugs where possible is optimal for getting top position)

Exactly. And yeah I can see how auto aim could be taken into account for that issue but I've also seen people constantly shoot down skiterlings before they even get close enough to the crystal to be considered a misfire.

But back to the people who think that they're playing crazy taxi just to rank up kills is another peeve of mine as well. Bad enough I have to worry about keeping myself alive but now I have this big distraction doing donuts right in my line of fire. I've made first place in major arkfalls plenty of times and I've never had to use my car to kill anything to get ahead.

only pet peeve i've got so far is..... my grenade's throw range seems horribly inconsistent... throw it at the ground, and it just stops where i throw it (which is what i wanted... "rolling" it behind a group of 3-4, basically)... or throw it with the mouse 2 pixels higher.. and the thing rebounds and goes way off target, blowing up a good 30 feet away from anything useful. if the grenades didn't bounce around like they were made of rubber my kill/death/suicide ratios would be so much more favorable...

What annoys me is trying to win shadow wars, but the winning team ends up losing and the losing team gets the win

If you're lucky you might manage to find a 0 det time grenade (detonates upon hitting ground), been loving mine.

oh lord i wish.... best i got so far is 0.8, and its damage is getting a little dated... it's no longer auto-killing my quest mobs, thus triggerin gmad bomber, and allowing me to instantly throw another grenade into another group of enemies...

what's the trendy thing to put here? #lazygamerproblems ? hehe

Expecting the players NOT to do something when there are hordes of them is stupid. Devs made a big mistake including the skitterling bite thing as part of a major arkfall. That event should only spawn as a minor arkfall.

[Blimbeard]

Here is a list of Pet Peeves i cannot stand from player's who are playing.

- Driving a car around the Crystal and killing hellbugs making it harder for the critical spot to spawn out

- Hellbug poop throwers and Pods that everyone ignores and wonders why they are taking so much damage.

- I've fallen and i can't get up. This one bothers me the most, if you see someone go down, it takes 3 seconds to revive someone. Pick them up, don't be lazy.

What bothers you in-game?

Totally agree with these Seen many arkfalls where most people are just running around herpaderping, killing the skitterers before they bite the crystals and standing there blasting the crystal continuously while its not vulnerable, all the while the Archers and blast towers are merrily shooting everyone....

And don't get me started on the rez thing. It's so easy and constructive to rez other players yet often people just stand there almost on top of corpses blazing away rather than just spending a couple of seconds rezzing their ally.
