Time to allow level setting when stating games

To be fair, it’s possible people are not the same as they are on the forums. If half the people on this forum acted in-game, the way they do on the forums, they’d more-than-likely be booted far more than the OP.

This is one of the reasons I’m glad I play on console.

At least Wildkat isn’t attacking or accusing anybody here on the forum. Which is commendable and speaks in his favor. :+1:

If you feel it’s that commendable, you may want to take notes. Be a nice change from your signature communication. :+1:

Play solo if it bothers you so much.

This is what I tell anyone who ultimately isn’t content with playing with others, even if the fault is not their own because yes, a lot people online are unnecessarily nasty (you can scroll up and see that yourself). Some have thicker skin, some (like myself) just grin then ignore it.

Read this signature (from wikipedia):
In slang, a troll is a person who posts deliberately offensive or provocative messages online (such as in social media, a newsgroup, a forum, a chat room, an online video game) or who performs similar behaviors in real life. The methods and motivations of trolls can range from benign to sadistic. These messages can be inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic, and may have the intent of provoking others into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating others’ perception, thus acting as a bully or a provocateur. The behavior is typically for the troll’s amusement, or to achieve a specific result such as disrupting a rival’s online activities or purposefully causing confusion or harm to other people. Trolling behaviors involve tactical aggression to incite emotional responses, which can adversely affect the target’s well-being.

My honest advice to you would be… don’t do those things you just listed and you wouldn’t be construed as such so much. I guarantee it will make your online experience much more enjoyable. Yes, that paragraph says you’re getting your enjoyment from those things, but there is a lot more out there to get enjoyment from than doing that.

Try it out and get back to me in a couple months. Let me know how things have changed.

You talk about my “signature communication” as if it is mostly consisting of trolling and attacking. My profile is not hidden so anybody can look at it and see that you are wrong. Your post activity, on the other hand, is hidden but I think if anybody cared to look it up the results would speak for themselves and they would see who is doing a lot of what can be described as what I quoted from wikipedia in my post above.

I know 100% procent but thx for saying it.

Correct. My advice is… don’t do that. Plain and simple.

I remember a year ago you said you were going to stop doing that. It was around the time you were harassing that one guy, calling him a troll because he made a spelling error. Not sure what made you change your mind but you do you.

Anyway, back on topic. Good luck in your endeavor.

Just for the record then: you claim that my signature communication is attacking and accusing, and the proof is that you claim that in one post a year ago I attacked someone.

In that case accusing me of attacking and accusing as my “signature communication” is a lie.
Next you will probably argue that my answers to you are personal attacks.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Take my advice, stop doing it. Get back to me in a while and we’ll talk.

Let’s get back on topic.

Stop doing what? Telling you that you are wrong?

I’ve been perfectly on topic the whole time. The topic you introduced.

Okay, so last night I somehow ended up in a random pub GR game with Wildkat. No more crap from me to/for/about him. He had a properly built ZDH and knew what to do with it. I gave him one very minor suggestion for a build tweak, which he graciously accepted and incorporated. He was quite polite and friendly. So my experience with him in-game was almost a polar opposite of the forums.

Thank you for sharing this. This reinforces my statement earlier. Truth be told, I knew it already. Plenty of anecdotes, but that’s just a side note. I’m glad you had a positive experience with him.

I do hope the WK has further positive interactions like yours. I can understand his frustration from the OP. You’ll unfortunately get this type of behavior in just about any online game where people can boot others. The company will tell you “it’s not abuse, they can kick for whatever reason they want” but yes, there are times when it’s clearly being abused, it’s just hard to prove.

Hell, I added him to my friends list and I tend to be quite picky about who I add. What more can I say?

You previously stated (~4 times if my memory is correct) that you bought and played D3 on PC before D3 was released for consoles. Was your PC experience good or bad at that time?

My experience is that PC players are rather civil. Occasionally, there might be a bad apple but these are few and far between.

i am oopen to good advice, in fact there is a few people i watch on you tube, one is from Georgia, i lived in north florida for a long time . i am not a greeat player , i just enjoy playing. what i am trying to say is it is hard to level or find games when people are allowed to boot any time, i guess d3 is to the point that there are not enough players to really form a lot of games. i have a decent zdh that has ran 150 with the right people, but i am mostly running with 140 to 145 in a group, i do love to play d4 but i love to interact with other characters and its hard to find people to play with in d4 they all just seem to run around from places in hell tide , but no real commadre . but if you got help for me or advice i all for it. i dont talk much in games and dont always pay attention to the messages because i am busy trying to keep up with doing what i am supposed to do. i think a lot of people get angry or pissed off because they become accustomed to playing with certain and they know exacattly what and where the others are at all times
