Curse

Mesmer in Need · May 04, 2008, 03:16 AM // 03:16

Factions has been out for around 2 years now, and this struggle has been going on ever since the beginning. I've played alot of ab, on both sides, and theres always the battle cries:
"Lol suxons"
"Lol kurzdic*s"
"You guys always mob"
"You guys always win"
"You guys always lose"
Blah blah blah...
It's funny, because its one game. A simple thing called ab caused a split in a player base which lead to name calling and flaming of another side. It's rare to hear this out of AB/FA, though. I think this is utterly stupid, and try to correct people in AB who do it. What do you guys think/Do about it?

I chime in with colourful language.

Its all because people like to have a go at their opponents regardless as to whether they are crap or not.

All in all, both sides mob about equally, both sides win about equally, both sides lose about equally, and both sides have bad players & good players equally. The insults stem from this because both sides want an advantage, or to feel better about themselves, despite the fact that they are essentially the same.

im very sarcastically nice when i play ab i say "hello kurzicks" "how are you doing today" usually someone chimes in "oh im doing nice thank you" and we start a lively (yet stupid and pointless) conversation. anyone who calls people suxons and kurzdicks (very unoriginal names btw) are very immiture imo. i laugh at noobs.

It's funny how in AB, Luxons and Kurzicks are trashin each other, and seem to have a mutual hatred for each other. (stupid kurzicks :P) And yet once you go PVE, it's all about the UB, and no1 cares about kurz or lux

It's all harmless banter.

Chill out, get laid.

FengShuiDove · May 04, 2008, 04:14 AM // 04:14

I think it's stupid. And anyone who really takes a side is stupid too.

So...

This really isn't an issue and certainly nothing worthy of making a thread to address. All fun and games. I believe it hard to see people actually think this is a problem. Should remember what RhanoctJocosa said before making another thread like this...
"Damn you, Kurd!cks!"
"Suck on this, Suxons!"

I wonder if the irony of this sentence is lost on everyone else, too...

Happens in any game with a factional split that young hormone-controlled teens play. Need I point out WoW?

Although I will admit a little dislike for Luxons, mainly because most times I log in to farm some faction, they own half of Echovald.

kurdicks and suxons are old news.

Suxdicks is where its at!

The is aimed at anyone who considers what the OP mentions a problem:

It might seem like such a serious life if you strut around with a pole inserted in an uncomfortable place, and I feel for you I truly do (it must be miserable, poor thing)... but - in my experience at least - two thirds of the time it's all in good jest.

Really, if this kind of thing worries you so much you need to make a public display about it I truly do feel sorry for you.

I used to AB a lot back in Factions days and loved it. Most times I'd just ignore any silliness and say good luck at the start and congratulate the victors at the end.

There didnt seem to be too terribly much in terms more offensive banter if I recall back then. The silly name calling of faction derivations were just laughable fun, but the racist and more intent-on-offending language is annoying. That sort of stuff is why I dont PvP very much. You pretty much cant avoid it in any PvP game. Its even generally harmless. I just find it annoying as hell. I just dont need that from a game.

StormDragonZ · May 04, 2008, 04:48 AM // 04:48

I've always been Kurzick. If I've ever been in a Luxon guild, it was for Cartography purposes.

WHY GAME END EARLY? BOB SAD.

BOB HAS TO CLEAN BOOTS AGAIN.

(among other boredom-alleviating lines)

Try having fun with it. It's childish, immature and stupid. So are the Three Stooges, ya know? The behavior isn't going to go away just because you say it should; best response is to make it fun.

In fact, you probably observe a lot more of this sort of thing than most people, because when people get upset about it...it just makes annoying them more fun.

The ability to taunt the opposite alliance in AB is of the same level as their ability to actually play the game as it should be.

Dr Strangelove · May 04, 2008, 05:02 AM // 05:02

People take trash-talking seriously?

Made me LOL.

As for the topic at hand... No one has or will ever care.

Cathode_Reborn · May 04, 2008, 05:44 AM // 05:44

From my experience...

The ones that suck badly at PvP get into it the most - the first thing that comes to mind is a Jagged strike sin saying "noob runner!"
