Lol.. Wut?

Stovahkiin

So, I was in Cyrodiil today in the EP, with a small group of 3 or 4 players. All of the sudden, a single DC just runs up to us and gets slaughtered. So, naturally, I used the /laugh emote a couple times.

He then proceeds to level his butthurt skill all the way up to 100 by messaging me, basically calling me an idiot, wimp, etc, and that I should "man up" and 1v1 him, lel.

I'll tell you what, some of you folks need to stop taking yourselves so bloody seriously, it's a damn game, I don't play PvP and expect to never die, and I sure as hell don't need to "man up" and 1v1 someone who throws a fit when they die.

So there ya go, I got a good laugh from that earlier today, too bad I don't have any pics of it on my phone to upload.

Kinda sounds like you baited him a bit though. Not sure what you were expecting.

If someone can't take a laugh emote then I hate to see them in a bad situation IRL. A better question is what did HE expect when running into a group of 4?

I had two 3v1's with some people the other day. Each time I killed 1 before the BoL spam (amoungst other things) overwhelmed me.

Then I get a msg say they want to 1v1 me.... like what?

Stratforge

lol you sound lame

Stovahkiin

Lol, okay apparently everyone is going to just blow up and cry "man up" when I do a /laugh emote after killing someone, noted

That happens to me too. People think that them getting 1vxed isn't a fair fight and that they could have beaten me if it was a 1v1. Like, really?

It is amusing when someone attempts a gank/1vx/vd bomb/etc and fails. I don't blame anyone for laughing. It never upsets me when my corpse is abused in different ways. Besides, gamesmanship is a valid component of competition.

Maybe he meant to say "virtual man up" . As MuchoMachismo Man machine approaches , just say ..

I have to say firstly that it is silly to whisper someone because of laughing on your corpse but I have to admit I've been guilty of it before to ask just out of curiousity why they done it in the first place and just to get peace of mind what they feel it does for them.

I'd say I'm quite a competitive person but in my experience if I was doing emotes on someone's corpse I wouldn't be complaining if I got a hate whisper afterwards for sure because well, you kinda asked for it.

Just wait till dueling goes live. Then it will be "meet me behind the bank in Rift" or wherever. It won't just be a PvP thing either. Open a chest, harvest a node and in come a flood of duel request because someone thinks they own the entire zone and everything in it.

bebynnag

a while back a group of player would always do push ups on my character to 'taunt' my solo low level (with 200CP at the time) after they, a group of 10+ V16 gold geared stealth ganked me!

i would lay there & let them have their fun & go make myself a cup of coffee!

they would then become infuriated because i want getting upset by the push ups & demand 1v1's

i did some & owned them.... and when i got emp at V10 i could take the whole group out (except the damn nightblades who would run off! LOL

I agree with your sig btw @LegendaryChef

Humphie

At least he didn't call you a cheating [SNIP] That is usually what I get whispered when I kill certain people.

I have pvp'ed in many games for many years, i do not teabag or make emotes over dead enemies and i stll get hate tells and whines never seen this many sore losers in one place in all my years of gaming.

Volrion

On the contrary, I think one of my favorite things in this game is when level 10s tea bag corpses post fight when they had no impact on the fight at all.

Even when it's me on the receiving end, I always laugh.

"All of the sudden, a single DC just runs up to us and gets slaughtered." Yesterday I did exactly the same thing. In imperial Sewers. Group of 15 EP against my 1 level 20 AD have no chance. Only have 2 stones. So why not? I rushed at EP with no weapons out. I got slaughtered. But all going to my plan. I spwan back to Scourge. Thank you EP

By the same token, I've never seen so many sore winners. There is a guy in your faction running around health desyncing people with ambush somehow and killing people in one shot with ambush. When you message him to even ask wtf he is doing he has a copy and paste he sends out telling people he doesn't care if you die in real life or in game. I've never seen so many egotistical trash cans in one game.

Probably to die, perhaps hoping to burst one down with him, mostly likely not a series of emotes after failing to do so.

Note: none of this excuse his (worse) behavior. Probably best not to emote unless it comes from being in a highly disadvantageous situation, rather than Xv1, but that's just MHO.

Now THAT'S when the laugh emote will come in handy. Will be the new type of vid to post. Some guy sending a stream of duel requests and hate tells because you "stole" their treasure chest.

LOL brilliant OP.

Whiners are gonna whine

Make them drink their tears more.

Nature of the beast, if they cant handle it, they shouldnt be in PvP.

QFT.

Seems as though the OP was being condescending and was called out for it. I don't see the point in bringing this to the forums tbh.

I receive challenges all the time. I don't feel the need to rush to the forums and ridicule my challengers. Since it's just a game, I simply honor their challenge. Win or lose, the duel usually ends with a /bow and we both move forward with a sense of respect for each other.

I guess chivalry is simply lost on some folks.

LrdRahvin

When somebody sends me rage tells like a lunatic after a death in a video game, I generally go out of my way to find and kill them again and do whatever /emote is likely to induce the most rage.

In some games, certain dance or mocking emotes or especially good.

In ESO I do "pushups" on their corpse.

Alright, I guess the emotes in the game are now off limits, otherwise you are condescending? And evidently the modern term for chivalry is basically just bowing down to someone's pathetic cries to "come fite me bruh", if so then I want none of it. I don't see why so many people are butthurt over this, but hey it is what it is, if some people want to defend people who freak out over dying once in an online game then good for them. Either way, there is no use in posting anything further.

If you use emotes in such a way, then sure, it can be condescending. And if you equate the acceptance of duels with that of bowing down, then it's obvious you have no idea what chivalry means.

Sounds like that lone DC isn't the only one that's "butthurt." Did you come here expecting everyone to pat you on the back for your courageous acts? All hail the mighty Stovahkiin, the greatest keyboardsman who ever lived!

Why thank you, that last line is of course exactly what I had hoped for. My life is now complete, thank you good sir.
