  Hate it when people join a party with no tokens, then beg the other members for some.

  
  
  This. The current token system is pretty generous and I almost never find myself running low on tokens. Seriously, if you don't have any tokens left, you should, I don't know, STOP PLAYING THE GAME!
  
  I also hate it when a teammate throws a spear at you when your trying to attack/run away from the boss. Thankfully, it doesn't happen that often on the later boats, but it's still annoying when your trying to dodge an attack and you suddenly get hit by a spear at the worst possible moment. Thank god bombs don't attack friendlies too, otherwise that would annoy the living hell out of me.

  I know some of these might have been mentioned already, but here we go~
  
  LAG. :mad:
  
  Me: whenever I hit the wrong key (repair armor!! :oops:) when I want to take a potion or use a feather on someone. Grr. Or even just smash a mob.
  And no, using the spacebar to cancel out doesn't seem to work half the time.
  
  On the fishing boat: getting silly arses who complain about my connexion and hosting the entire time they're on the boat with me. I know I have a bad ISP; get off my boat and host your own if you can't stand it, kthx.
  
  Lanns who can pretty much solo the entire dungeon, and yet complain no one's "doing anything". But the mobs are already dead before anyone can get a hit in.
  
  People who rush the entire dungeon as if we're on a timed mission, when we're not. On the flip side, if we are on a timed mission, there's always someone breaking things or faffing about. And then I lag and everyone rages at me. :XD:
  
  3 staff Evies firebolting the crap out of a boss at the same time (yes, I have been one of the three at some point lol).
  
  Black Breeze/Nine Fingers/werewolves in general. The Reaper. So annoying! And I remember when I thought the Gnoll Chieftain was the most annoying boss, ha~
  
  The amount of potions/healing runes/feathers etc. we're allowed to bring. Why so little?

  That sounds AWESOME to me!! :thumb:
  
  For the thread:
  People who assume everyone only wants to rush to the boss and eliminate them with extreme prejudice (as if picking up items for easy bonus objectives were too much of a hassle)

  It's not so awesome when you lag like crazy and your framerate drops to 2fps :doom:
  
  I also forgot to add: When you can't finish a monster. This happened to me a lot last night~[/B]

  New peeve:
  
  When the friggin Kobold/Goblin archers actually hit you (especially mid-combo >.<)
• grandpajelly wrote on 2011-01-26 05:50
  When the party isn't doing a palala lockstun and the guy who is supposed to be using them isn't, then I throw one and they all rage at me :mad:
  
  When the boss room has enemies other than the boss, so when I'm doing my combo the game decides to lock onto the little spider. There is a setting for that but I don't like what that does either (always lock on to boss).

  There's also a setting not to lock onto anything at all, or a lack of triggered settings.

  That's because there is no button labeled "Do not lock onto anything pretty please".
  
  You have to uncheck all the boxes that say "Lock onto X"....then nothing will be default targeted.

  Do you have it forced to attack in the direction of the camera?

  And then tell me to "QQMoar" when I say there needs to be a kicking function in Dungeons.

  
  
  This oh so much on the unable to kick in dungeons. So needed to it for this following peeve: Spear Lanns who dodge roll passing through the ceiling death trap in Hoarfrost and activating its switch. In this case, the spear Lann in question ran though the passage, then dodge rolled at the end. After that he had the nerve to call me a noob for it when it was his fault. I wasn't going to take with this noob BS again, so the only thing I could do was to abort the mission.

  Tl;dr: People who won't do the simplest quests, and actively prevent my getting them, because lyk dey pwn cuz dey can killz teh trash so fast. >.>

  
  
  This too. Did a duo run on Revenge (I always seem to have the worst luck with people on that mission for some reason.) with time limit bonus. When we got to boss, the event football spawned and I said kill boss with football. We worked on it, and by the time it had enough HP to kill it with one more hit of the ball, we were having a little difficulty kicking and the other person said "just kill it" and did so. Mind you we had more than enough time to finish it with a football and the convo went something like this:
  
  Me: "WTH MAN!?"
  Other Person: "lol jurzis suk only 1k"
  Me: "I wasn't planning on selling it and I was 1 coupon off on getting another!"
  Other Person: "k, replay mission"
  
  So we did and no football spawned...
  
  Other Person: "y no futball?"
  Me: "Well la-de-dah, the football doesn't spawn in every battle. Maybe if we had FINISHED THE BOSS OFF WHEN THE FOOTBALL WAS THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, WE WOULDN'T HAD TO WASTE OUR TIME ON A FAIL RUN!"
  
  tl;dr If a football spawns and battle conditions are not super bad, USE IT TO FINISH THE BOSS. There's no harm in getting free coupons and jerseys.
  
  Now for one more story: People telling me I suck when I'm under conditions where I can't help it, such as lag so bad I was running at 2fps. After the above story of the spear Lann, I went and joined a party that was doing the mission I was trying to do, problem was there was super lag (Lag so bad that everyone but the leader was at 1 bar.) the entire battle and my screen was shaking every 2 seconds like it wanted to give me a seizure or something. Movement was so slow and I couldn't do much of anything. So after we finished the boss, also with all that lag, I gave the usual F4 "Well done." and one of the members piped up, "I would too, except you suck." Well maybe if you were in my situation, you wouldn't be saying that. If you were up against Strong Ekelch and you were running at 2fps with shaky screen and weren't an Evie, would you A) Attack at a distance using spears/bombs/snowballs staying safe and alive from Ekelch's frenzy of attacks no matter how small the damage is, or B) Go up there and wail on him with no sense of timing because timing is all messed up and die from Ekelch's frenzy? I'm sure some might go for B, but I'd like to play it safe in a boss fight like this.

  "What's that? You want to get out of the way of this boss attack that will kill you? Too bad, I'm going to make you push this barrel for 10 seconds instead of responding to what you're actually inputting."

  Yeah that's annoying. I've learned to clear up as much debris as possible for the more nasty fights, or at least keep an eye out on what I'm running towards.
