Anyone need?
Some version of (wow there’s a feral in here)
Otherwise, it’s mostly silence.
Do people really have enough talking in their groups to even be seeing rage?
Sometimes but no nearly as much as the forums would have you believe. Some people just bad nothing wrong with it but they gotta blame something cause it can’t possibly be their inability to play the game.
I say almost all those things and not much more. Actually it would be nice for Blizz to implement a system like Age of Empires II’s ‘taunts’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr0zoGjulZ4 .
It would save me a few precious seconds of keyboard mashing. I know this may be contrary to your argument, but I’m not expecting much conversation in M+.
I guess 4/5 runs have the minimum such as LoS, hero on Hakar, we need 2 more mobs. Then we get the group having a clean run until someone does something silly like fall in the mechagon oil trap, or the trap in the last wing, and we all have a good laugh because we know we’re still timing it and it is just a game after all.
I used to be a mad talker when I was in groups with even 1-2 friends but when it’s straight PUGs I am really quiet.
I’m not sure what you are asking, M+ is timed every second spent typing is a second lost.
If you want to chat I strongly suggest a voice chat program.
You missed the point.
I see so many people complaining about constant rage in M+. Tanks bshing out the healers, healers raging at tank, dps dumping on the lowest dps, etc.
I never see that. Instead I basically see what I wrote in my original post. As you just pointed out, nobody has time to rage that much because you gotta go fast.
I’d post what I’ve seen, but I’d get a forum vacation.
This seems to be the biggest cause of things going sideways.
Most players know mistakes will happen and stuff happens. A simple “my bad” on a mistake goes a long way to keeping a run smooth. It takes a lot pressure off and lets the group know you’re at least competent enough to know you did something the wrong way.
Why
Gotta pee, brb
WTF
Tank sucks sorry lol
things I wish I can type fast and dps see
Oh, I see, that makes more sense.

M+ countdown begins
The rage comes after failures, when people either have already given up on the timer or are planning to leave and therefore don’t need to worry about the timer.
(Or they’re simply running back from a wipe)
Runs that are going at least adequately won’t see that kind of dialogue because people are more focused on getting it done successfully still.
I don’t know why people feel the need to rage the way they do sometimes. Even if you tick me off, I’m just going to leave, I’m not going to write you an essay about what a terrible human being you are. I save that for venting to my guild.
A good m+ run is in out and have fun and time it. That’s what I’ve made my focus now. Just parsing happiness.
That’s fair, but I’ve failed to time my share of runs this season too, and I’ve seen a total of one person say anything that looked a little ragey, and that was after a tank silently left mid-key.
I suppose I haven’t had that many totally bricked runs. People seem to stick it out as long as it seems like it can still be completed.
in addition to some of the above.
We had a rough run, as in dps kept dying, tank, heals and i kept up with ourselves. Tank had said at the beginning of the run, during summoning he really wanted such and such trinket. We summon, do the thing, and at the end of multiple wipes and a busted key, the 1 who had died 10 times got loot. The heals then proceeded to mock the tank for not getting his loot he had commented on.
I felt like that went a bit too far. Tank and I were obviously in the same guild and no healer wasnt but damn.
If dps who died 5 times cumulativly on final boss had survived maybe we could have made timer.
But I understand tank had done some nonsensicle time wastes whether it was a +2 or +10.
