It is a game

So Today I was looking thinking about the old snes game king Arthur's world and got here. Game looked cool, dropped the money and was enjoying the experiencing with one little problem.. Seems like every game I join has at least 1 or 2ragers on the team. Yea it is the interweb and all, and none if it was even directed at me directly(that I could tell)but seriously, one game the person though they were in charge and repeated " F--king F-g" to anyone who build anything without their specific permission, another game had a person constantly raging if the entire team did no pick the clases they wanted and move or charge like they wanted.. and it was not like our team was doing badly, both games were a win...... I have played about 6 games no on different servers and every time there was someone like this.. game 5 i found the ignore and that was nice but really.... it is a game all.

Yea, I know it is the internet and this kind of post is just as common as the angry ones and I am just yelling at the wind, but I said my thing, changing no minds or hears with some people thinking posts like this are just as bad as the angry ones.

Least I got some friends to get this game too so if i don't like it i can swim in my own pool. I had my little fit.

 

Can't fix that

 

both games probably were a win because of that guy who was raging at his team.

Seriously, the amount of braindead minecrafters is mind-boggling, it's also the reason why I quit the game some 4 months ago.

 

Not the OP though. And since the one good player in his team was raging, it means that the majority still were builders.

 

And then we get into a discussion about game theory.


There's always going to be a problem what the game, and two sets of players (equally, or unequal interspersed between the teams) want.

Potato, yes, you can't be as good as others in the game, it's a competitive game, but what you forget is: It is extremely easy to ignore ragers; the chat log is small, and off to a corner; text scrolls off the top of the chat log very easily, and pop ups don't show up unless the player is onscreen, and they've said whatever recently. Because of how the game goes you cannot type messages out on the front lines. And because everyone can see whomever is onscreen and is typing, tunnelers cannot type messages. This is to say, it is hard to talk to others, let alone rage.

For those who "rage", they generally have to repeat themselves very often to make sure others hear them. This percieved fervency sets off the "rage" alert in everyone's head regardless of what they actually are feeling.
Some are trying to herd/guide/instruct others on good conduct, others are yelling about bad conduct.

So what's it to the rager? What's it to you?
This is a competitive team game. You can be competitive all you want, but the fact comes back, and again, that a group of people can utterly destroy you, and stop you a great majority of the time. You can have the minimal requirements of having a team, a group of people with some semblance of a goal, but you can again be slaughtered by someone that is skilled, or another group of people that are slightly more numerous, or coordinated (more competitive, one might say).
What does a rager do? They try to give the team something to do, an objective, a plan, something to coordinate a team, something to, maybe make a competitive team? They point out flaws, they advise different things to to, they try to tell you something, they try to coordinate with you, they are critics.
What do you do? D you let the team down? Do you abandon the push? Do you not even try, and let the other team stomp you painfully, or hold back your advances (stalemate)?

Why certainly this is a game, but this game competitive, you need to do something to be dignified, the game is a team game, you can't simply walk through whatever Mordor the middle territory is.
It is to excite, and stimulate people; it requires the efforts of everyone involved, and the rager try their damned hardest to make it that way, or it's just pain and frustration from getting stomped at every turn by some team that listens more to their ragers, or is thoughtful enough to not need someone to yell at them to do something.


Simply, what the fuck is the wind trying to tell you? You can't sail a ship without heeding the wind, let alone whatever noise it carries from other people that are suggesting, telling, or downright yelling you, what it is saying.

 

I'll usually say something like "GO FUCKING KNIGHT OR BUILD STUFF IN THE FRONT YOU USELESS SHITBAGS"

So I guess I am still being constructive.

 

I don't mind if a few people don't build, because its better than them making shitty buildings that give your team the disadvantage. I only get mad when they climb and jump all over so you can't place a block.

 

But they do build, all game they will place down one block per 10 seconds in utterly useless formations behind your flag.

 

Arak,
I hope you stay here on the forums and keep playing kag. Although the community can be rough at times and you will encounter wild assholes it is a very brilliant game. If you ignore the people that have gigantic egos they'll eventually just stop bothering you. (if it is specifically towards you) If you happen to have steam and want some tips and tricks, or just want to chill, you have my username.

I was in a match where me and one other knight were attacking, while about 6 others were building houses in our base. I capped 2 of the enemy flags and then quit out of frustration.

 

This thread is completely pointless, you can't "fix" a community. The players will continue to play the game HOWEVER they want to because they bought it with there own money.

There is votekicking and there is ignoring, if a player is truly a problem he will be kicked. Or just suck it up and ignore him with the mute option.

 

THE FLAG ISN'T EVEN COVERED, WHY ARE YOU BEHIND SPAWN HAMMERING DIRT?

EVERYBODY IS A BUILDER, AND YET WE HAVE NO SHOPS.

YOU CAN'T MINE BEDROCK, STOP IT. SERIOUSLY, STOP, I HATE THAT NOISE.

All are valid complaints; how do you think they feel when they go completely ignored? If you block "ragers", you're just unwilling to improve. Or like 99% of KAG players, you literally cannot read.

 

I don't expect everyone to be as good as me, or to be good at all. I do expect you to actually make an attempt at winning the game. If the objective is to Capture the Flag or Take the Halls and you're off in a corner building a nice house for yourself, you're not just useless, you're actually a liability for wasting your team's resources and a player slot. I have a problem with that. Go play sandbox if you want to minecraft. Maybe raging doesn't help, but I don't really see what else there is to be done when your team is 9 builders and 1 knight.

 

You learned the power of capslock, I like it, keep up the good work. But remember with great power comes great responsibility.

If you don't like your team betray them! Switch to the other team and rape their wives, steal their flags and kick their sandcastle's. Their mother can't help them.

 

"Kick their sandcastle's"
Cracked me up

 

Or the dude who destroy the archer shop because he want everyone to choose knight
