Sore Losers

[Avi]

This past week I found a few players online to compete against. It felt good to rez in and play head to head again. The only problem is that none of the people that I played against could handle defeat very well. They obviously weren't new to the game, but I still had no trouble sending them into Spectator mode. I was not cocky about my wins, I just congratulated them on a good match and then *poof*...they were gone.

It didn't matter what kind of match I found them in...LC, DA, or DM, they still bailed after receiving a moderate butt whipping. Today in Disc Arena, two of them teamed up against me and quickly left after I was able to overcome the numbers handicap and derezed both of them one round after another.

Most of them are European, but I won't get into that any further because I don't want to hurt Data Ghost's feelings.

PDT_Armataz_01_37 cheers mate!

this isnt the same behaviour as what you described but on some games people can act like retards but on the other end of the retard-o-scale. on a game called medieval total war, i go on a server for the first time and get my ass kicked unsuprisingly. but these guys go crazy, "WE HAD THE F*KIN N00B, THATS Y WE LOST KICK HIM!!". i try reasoning with them, telling them the the game has only about 20-25 players on multiplayer anyway and they should be welcoming newcomers to the game. a barrage of insults after this and i left.

How can there be any matches when people are scared to lose?

And how do they expect to get better? From single player missions?

Can I also rant about the stupidity regarding use of Heavy Weapons as well as Disc Blocking?

1 Thing that I will say is yes, it is a nuisance if a player only does that.

However:

On Star Wars Republic Commando, when I play online, some get very stupid and insult me whenever I kill them with either:

1) Wookiee Rocket Launcher
2) "Grenade Launcher" Anti Armor Pack
3) Concussion Grenade: A grenade that 1 hit kills upon direct contact, does spash damage on a round area, and drains shield/health with melee strike.
4) Concussion Grenade: Does the dame as Conc Rifle melee
5) Sonic Detonators: Grenades that do large splash damage, high damage.
6) A rapid fire heavy machine gun.

Okay, 6 Weapons in the game itself are described 'noobing'. As a Good player ( I say this because I CAN place 1st in a match), I use everything available, heavy weapons included.


I don't care if I'm a noob, I'm using weapons that are intended to be played with, so get over it and stop crying like a baby.
