Rivaled only by the annoyance that is people joining your LFG group, while they are in a different War Mode setting, and then getting confused why they’re not in the same phase as you.
Bonus points if you clearly state “No Warmode” in your group description, and these people still join without a care in the world.

Bonus point if you, the group leader, and the 3 other members have WM off, stated WM off in the title and then a guy joins with WM on and tells everyone else to switch WM on.
I really enjoy when I clearly hit a gull, but it keeps going and swoops down. Really not annoying that.

Speaking of WM, when people got WM on but have no intention of doing PvP, and run from such.
Yep this is me. Well, at least at low level. The XP is nice, but I have no interest in engaging bored 120s in honourable combat on my level 50 paladin.

New raid (And probably new PvP season) isn’t out until January 22nd. I thought maybe the first week of January or something… does that make it over 100 days between Uldir and the new raid? Yikes. The only thing I’m looking forward to in 8.1 are gutted Xp requirements for leveling but other than that…
The Horde warfront set. Ughhhh.
https://gyazo.com/18f02ab837dbca4d8924ec9d0c9b8205 Man the Horde really dropped the ball on that one.
For comparison, the exact same set on Alliance: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/argent-dawn/Chíeun
Looks like a damn tank. Love it.
It peeves me that many people don’t seem to understand the “Honourable Warrior” concept of RP. I understand that can mean different things to different people, but what I am specifically referring to, is those kind of “Enlightened” and “Smartly Cynical” people.
You know. The kind who say “But why do you enjoy fighting, it’s just needless bloodshed, you should only do this or that and then the next thing.” and on and on it goes, as they pick you apart, for god forbid you enjoy RP while taking some inspiration from the Valajar or you know. Orcs?

I like to think that there are still some Valarjar and Orcs who value the act of “Not go fight stuff for the sake of it”, but that’s just me saying it because I can’t tolerate/handle/stand combat in RP. Can’t really get in to it.
Which is a shame because I tend to play Orcs as of recent, and at the same time wish to Roleplay Warriors, but it’s a bit hard to explain why a wandering Warrior of honor and glory, doesn’t want to duel some random hobo who called him fat (And is often met with some rather snide remarks from the party that wanted said duel).
Anyway, here’s my peeve: I plugged my Xbox and I found the first RDR game. I played it for an hour or so, and then… I just turned it off, thinking to myself “I’d rather play this on PC”.
And now I feel sad. That in order to play an open world cowboy game where I can tie people up willy nilly, I will have to either A: Wait a long time for a PC port to RDR2. B: Buy a nextgen console for RDR2 or C: Somehow punch through the old RDR, even though I didn’t have as much fun with it as I was hoping.
You’re not missing much with RDR2… I know it’s the current golden child of the gaming community but honestly. The game’s a solid 7/10 at best. Also forget the online stuff, it’s totally designed around microtransactions, even more so than GTA Online was…

I won’t deny that it is an overrated game (In fact, any game that is lorded over like it’s the second coming of Jesus is probably not as good as it’s said to be).
It’s mostly because I’d like some extra writing material for my blog that I started working on, and I thought writing about how RDR2 is not the second coming of Jesus would be a good idea. But since I’m a PC gamer, it’ll be hard for me to write about it and I don’t wanna be blowing smoke out of my rear as someone who hasn’t played the game and tried talking like I have an idea what it’s like.
Yeah, that is actually a pretty damning thing. I told my girlfriend about it, and she made a pretty interesting comment, saying that she doubts they’ll make it Pay to Win, because they won’t be able to rely solely on their popularity to keep the online mode alive.
Sure there will be those little miscreant outlaws who have no understanding of the value of money and just throw it at the game because “I liek gaem and want be powerful”, but ultimately it will go down the drain, as did every other game that was Pay to Win.

Unfortunately GTA V is the most profitable entertainment property of all time so you just know Take Two are gonna use every psychological trick they can.
Even in the beta phase it’s pretty obvious just how integral gold bars (premium currency) is the the whole game.
Something as simple as “horse insurance” can only be purchased for gold bars, 5 to be exact and earning a single gold bar in game takes between 7 and 9 hours. Without the insurance your horse is able to be killed by other players on a whim.
Fast travel from your camp can’t be unlocked until you reach rank 60something, this of course can be skipped for a significant amount of gold bars… Same goes for weapons, cosmetics, horses and just about everything else.
It’s pretty bad.

Well, we are talking about the same publisher who thinks we’re firewood that needs to be chopped in half, and who thinks that the games need to be monetized more…
Aye, I’ve seen the videos of Youtubers covering this, and it looks pretty terrible.
What I find to be a whole lot worse is that there are these professional apologists who are trying to excuse it all by saying “It’s beta, it’s bound to be changed”. Clearly not understanding that betas are designed for accepting feedback (Although let’s be honest, it’s a doubtful that any feedback will be accepted), so saying “Don’t be critical” sounds absolutely insane. Makes you wonder what kind of types of people they are…
Wait, so horse insurance makes it so your horse is essentially immune to death? Well, that certainly sounds useful, considering how there aren’t cars freely available in Red Dead, so it’ll be hard to borrow horses. Wow, that actually sounds pretty terrible.
Pretty bad indeed. Which is why it might benefit if people all 'round go and put Rockstar on to the cross in regards to this.

Can you imagine if it was EA pulling this? It’d make headline news with government investigations but because its Rockstar folks’ll let it slide…
I blame their pedigree for this.
Let’s be honest, their games are for the most part pretty stellar (As far as videogames go), so there’s no doubt that people think “Nooo, not Rockstar! They make good games!”, so they’re reluctant to put them on a pike.
It’s a damn shame if you ask me…
Anyway, to not keep this thread depressing, let me share you a funny peeve, that is still a peeve: My family in Skyrim is missing! My steward and bard are at my house well enough, but my child and spouse? They’re nowhere to be found. The child’s been bugging around with being in the adopted state but not officially my child, and my spouse is… Well, Being somewhere but not sure where.
It’s rather annoying, because I want to spend family time with my wife and daughter as a Khajiit (Because bestiality)

4/10. It’s the most boring, dull, mind numbing game I’ve played in my life. I forced myself through the intro thinking “it must get better, surely.” nope. It ‘opens up’ but stays slow as sh!t, completely un-engaging and constantly has you interact with Jon Marston, an infinitely more likeable character then the main protagonist you are playing.
I don’t know where the praise comes from, but I ain’t seeing this fantastic game everybody is banging on about. It’s a lump of congealed sh!t that rockstar sh@t out because they knew everybody would fawn over it because it has an R stamped on it.
Yes, there were moments I had fun - when the game bothered to remember it was a game, but those moments lasted maybe five minutes at best. And the skinning. Jesus the skinning, what muppet thought to make it THAT involved. It’s idiotic.
“oh I’m being shot at, best get on my horse at an incredibly slow pace, not like being shot at is a urgent matter or anything”.
Deep into chapter 3 and I finally just said “yeah, sod this,” and went back to watching paint dry.
The only reason it even gets a 4 is because the characters in the camp are -vaguely- interesting.
But Christ. Otherwise it’s an awful game. Just bloody awful, Rockstars lost whatever touch it had in my eyes.

I personally -really- enjoy RDR2. It’s probably one of my top 10 games of all time. I actually love how slow it is and how much of a bad person Arthur Morgan is in the starting part of the game. I love his storyline so much.
I can certainly see why someone could dislike the slow pace. But that’s exactly what I am looking for.
