Online Complains/Rants About Etiquette, Players, Netcode, Desyncs etc!!

[hardwire]

man its just not mk with out trash talk

Its the internet. There will always be trash talking, no matter what.

Just part of the environment. Sad to say, but you gotta get used to it.

This. Also, it forces NRS to improve the online experience until its actually playable.

No matter how good online may be it will never be the same as offline, thus lag tactics won’t go anywhere. For that reason online etiquette exists. I’m all for it, coz I don’t have any offline fighting scene.

As for suggestions, for starters: no slides/Kabal’s and Reptile’s runs/ Kano’s balls/Raiden’s electric flies/ Liu Kang’s fly kicks from full screen ranges.

I would personally never agree to something like this because nobody will be able to agree on what's fair and whats not.

People will think of perfectly viable tactics that work fine offline as completely unfair just because they cannot beat it themselves and will try to have "rules" like these banning things that just make them salty as salt can be.

Just my two cents. I very highly doubt that anybody from TYM would abuse lag-tactics in our rooms anyway. I like to think better of all of you .

This guy was spamming Noob's shadow moves on me, without taking a single step the entire match (apparently he thought zoning is all Noob is capable of). I was Kano, so I got around it easily, but he refused to adapt to my countering and continued to do it. Whatever, easy win. The next match rolls around and he picks Cage. He starts spamming this one 3 or 4-hit combo on me, along with some AA; I swear, for the love of God, I couldn't get around his garbage. Lag wasn't an issue, so it was my own fault for not catching on to it. Anyway, during the match, I start spamming my moves out of frustration to give him a taste of what he's doing to me (which is probably what led to my downfall), and the prick has the gull to bitch about it. I don't understand some people. There's a difference between talking trash and being a moron.

Oh, and this is my first post on TYM. Hi.

Does anyone else find the online play depressing? the lag makes you miss wake up attackes, fuck up kombos... its rather frustrating when u lose for these reasons. Why is it that mk is such a laggy game so far?

 

[GNG Iniquity]

I seem to find non-laggy games for the most part, but the ones that lag piss me off to no end. Just disconnect and look for another game, there's nothing else you can do.

 

[DaiHuu]

Welcome to TYM!! Do what Dm said and just find different matches, if you find a full bar connection, the lag isn't that bad.

 

[GNG Iniquity]

Usually you can tell in the character select screen, if it's really unresponsive then I've found it to be a good indicator that the game's going to be laggy. Avoid KoTH, too, if one random player joins with a bad connection it all goes to hell...

 

[red8RAIN]

I haven't gone online just yet, learning to string combos together better and consistently. very upsetting when i drop a combo in practice . but is the lag bad, majority of the time, on XBL?

 

[chessmaster]

it's been a month and they still have yet to fix the online portion which they essentially made everyone pay $10 for. i'm disappointed. not only does it lag, but i still can't find a regular ranked or player match. i have to go in the chat rooms and challenge everybody one by one and then the game still lags sometimes even with a perfect connection.

 

[SmoKeNinjA88]

I let my playing do all the talking.

 

[elPollo_Diablo]

well lets say this
I grew up going to arcades (I live on the Eastcoast btw) and its just a part of the competition mindset
People complain about voiceless messages from some stranger you've never met
Imagine having that same shit yelled in your ear with the person standing right beside you
And before you tough guys out there who'll say "I'll punch the jerk in the face"....stop it
Like I said, its the competitive nature
The same with sports and/or any situation where you're trying to best your opponent
Let it run off your shoulders and get them back by beating them
It will ALWAYS be a factor in fighting games without a doubt
Hell, I'm prone to sending my own special brand of sarcastic messages
Its part of the game
Either roll with the punches or be always at odds with the fierceness of some competitors

 

[Pikachu]

If I was as good in playing as in trash talking id be godlike in this game

 

[Juggs]

Since a lot of you for some reason feel the need to whine about scrubs you play online, I'm just going to rename the thread to "Online behavior" and you can discuss the pointless "behaviors" in here. Any new threads like this will just be moved/merged to this thread.

 

[G4S KT]

This.

 

[galindo]

Some of you are mixing up trash talking with complaining. Trash talking is ok.

Complaining is for bitches....unless you're complaing for a just cause

Have you ever reagequit online?

I'll admit, I did for the first time today not out of actual rage towards getting whooped, but simply because I was playing sloppy and kept repeating the same mistakes over and over and lost nearly 8 matches in a row to the same guy, just by giving him free punishes. Feels bad man.

 

[Eight]

Yep. I can get immensely frustrated by certain things. Immense frustration = me rage quitting and going outside to smoke before I pop a vein

:throwcomputer:

 

[Thefluke]

Not in this game thus far, haven't played a lot online yet though. The only fighting game i've ragequitted in thus far is ssf4. Don't recall why but i guess lag/mirror matches have played their part those rare few times.. I really hate mirror matches.

 

[Juggs]

Merged the "Have you ever reagequit online?" thread to this one.

I will quit if there is too much lag or delay, but not during a match. I will "ragequit" on friends sometimes just for the lawls.

 

[Samsung Crunchy]

I don't ragequit in MK and I likely don't in any other games. I'm very stubborn and like to see things through to the end. Kind of like an honor system.

I do the same, I'll also just quit if the lag is so severe that I can't actually play.

 

[GNG Iniquity]

Ugh. Why am I trying to play this shit online during a Saturday? FFS I just want to play one skilled player. Nothing but people attempting to abuse Sub Zero's slide and Scorpion's spear this afternoon. God forbid they can actually attempt a combo.

Awful.

 

[papaghanda]

I've seen some hate if you play Kung Lao or Noob Saibot. Basically any character with teleports and does range spam is susceptible to hate mail.

When the netkode patch komes out, I'm sure online quality will improve but there never be a complete end to the saltiness of online players.

LOL what netcode patch. are you kidding?
