EscVelocity Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Why do people rage hard and get so upset when a BH or Vanguard grapples them into acid or fire? I've got 2 people still raging at me for doing it 2 weeks ago to them. had to put them on ignore tonight because they're getting beyond ridiculous.

Jabbb Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I don't get any rage for doing it. well placed knockbacks into the fire are way more cheap because they root (yeah grapple can root, if you're a tank) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grapple someone into fire with no escape, then carbonise, then electro dart, then jump back and jet charge them is where its at, lol pve server? heh, it's annoying, people might swear on vent, but it seems weird that you think of it as anything but part of the game at the end of the day.

Krondorf Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I think they need some anger management.I guess you are there to teach them something, Its up to them to learn from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthSalt Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Because they'd rather be Force-pulled and roundhouse kicked into Acid than be pulled into fire. Its a simple case of some people like cake, real men like pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got 2 people still raging at me for doing it 2 weeks ago to them. had to put them on ignore tonight because they're getting beyond ridiculous. IDK. But I think it's hilarious that people with complain nonstop about force speed, jumps, and rescue but not say a word about gripping the enemy into traps.

stubtoe Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 LOL thats awesome, tears fuel the Engine of Hate. Though, as a Sorc with 1 CC breaker and no CC immunity it really does suck. Especially when youre right at the goal line and youre pulled back into the fire.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drungus Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 People rage over a lot of things OP. If they are not willing to learn how to counter such a thing then they shouldn't rage against you, but themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helig Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Why do people rage hard and get so upset when a BH or Vanguard grapples them into acid or fire? I've got 2 people still raging at me for doing it 2 weeks ago to them. had to put them on ignore tonight because they're getting beyond ridiculous. I rage hard when a BH pulls me up his spawn ramp when I'm carrying the ball. That equals 49k damage, resulting in instakill. But Fire pits\acid = fair and square. Those are intended to be natural hazards and knockbacks\pulls aren't there just for gap-closing\opening. I like push=>Firetrap BBQ with Stasis myself. Extremely satisfying.

FUBAR-BDHR Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Only hate it when the puller is standing in the fire (or acid) with full health taking no damage while you die from full health. Another example of game working as designed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olounda Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I LOL at people who do that to me now, because they end up dying themselves. its easy enough to stun them yourself when they pull you in, allowing you to run out of the fire/green goo and letting them die, or knocking them further in. People have raged at me because their own grappel killed them, and they are like ***??? Funniest crap ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyl Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 People rage over a lot of things OP. If they are not willing to learn how to counter such a thing then they shouldn't rage against you, but themselves.I would love to know what you think can counter that. Someone already posted the answer but people seem to have glazed over it for whatever reason. It's because without your cc breaker there is literally nothing you can do to prevent/counter it, and it takes very, very little skill to pull off. People dislike having someone press one or two buttons and to be forced to just watch your toon die in three seconds with literally zero ability to stop it. It's like getting stunned near the bridge on voidstar with no cc break and having to watch them get in position and knock you off. Only at least with that one you can prevent it by not going anywhere near the edge. Literally nothing you can do to stop getting insta-ganked into fire on huttball. Poor game design and makes for poor, frustrating gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGoldCrayon Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Simple counter is being aware of your surroundings. Don't place yourself in a position to get yanked into acid or fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aribethx Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Loss of control of your character and being pretty much killed with nothing you can do about it makes people pissed. This is also why we see QQ about knockbacks and stuns. It would be an interesting discussion about how pulling someone into the fire or acid differs from the operative knockdown kill combo that received such harsh raging.

EscVelocity Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Because you can't counter it and there's no skill involved. I always see people break out of the stun, then proceed to knock me back about 40 meters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrewloose Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 This ability is the hard counter to a Sage or Sorcerer who can pull their allies. It sucks when it happens to you, but it's great when the other guy gets it. It would be nice if people could spend a little less time QQing about the PvP and more time actually playing. Then maybe they would realize it's not so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adzzy Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) If every place in every warzone was a fire hazard, they'd be about the same. Losing control of your character and dying to something that isn't the enemy player controlling you is just a little different.... If i pulled someone back into 4 marauders, a similar event would occur.... Edited February 13, 2012 by Adzzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof-Chaos Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 What I really loved was being able to pull them into the spawn piont with the ball for an instant kill That was honestly one of the most fun abilities in history of gaming. It's a shame it was removed (although I fully understand why ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
