Pet Peeve: The Undying

Kul Tiras was the grower, not the shower.

_https://tinyurl.com/yyw8m9ur this is the actual scale of the map, Kul Tiras and Zandalar being bigger in game is so people can click them easier I reckon.

So-- I found Solaire, despite giving my the white soapstone when i first met him, he didn’t move from that spot and when i spoke to him, he went over the giving the soapstone dialog again before FINALLY moving to Anor Londo.

GAH!

Also, killed Kirk in the demon ruins, but he fell off as he was dying to I didn’t get to pick up his sword so I’ll have to wait until next playthrough before I can get that.

The completionist in me twitches.

EDIT: Also, while I’m here; has anybody got a good lava mod for DS1? I forgot how much of a headache Izalith gives me.

My current pet peeve: Trying to decide on a good name for a female orc, made even more difficult by the fact that I accepted a challenge to think of one that doesn’t end with an a.

This ties into one of my long-running peeves, too. Why do male orcs look so, so bad?

Nothing wrong with seeking inspiration in better settings.

Generally speaking, I think the Orsimer names in Elder Scrolls sound awful : (

Peeve : Pretending to be interested in someone else’s problems or a client’s query. Seriously I used to be rather resilient regarding that but I reach the point where I don’t give a rat’s balls about it.

I use this place for most name brainstorming these days. Never needed a ‘straight out the packet’ name, just pick bits I like the sound of, mash it together with different surnames, adjust for possible spellings, boom. Works wonders :slight_smile:

The name generator website is atrocious in my experience. I loathe using it for anything fantasy related, though it’s good for real world / historical names for human characters.

The fact that monks can’t use crane stance in combat still. Gimme.

So recently I’ve been thinking over all the things that peeve me off and have now decided to do a “Peeve Mega Post” of a list of some of the finest quality peeves I have. Now I don’t go to the main cities a lot because of stuff like this

But there are somethings that even avoiding major hubs I still find. So lets jump into the deep end first with “Real Girls”. Yeah “Real Girls” we see what you’re doing, flirting with every guild member but never talking OOC. Now I get it, everyone wants to do Drag, but if your reason for pretending to be flirty a 20 year old girl as a 30 year old man is “I don’t like looking at male butts while I play” then you might be both Insecure and gay. I look at Nar’zagh’s butt all day and that’s a mighty fine butt right there. Like Rawr dude, rawr.

Next we got characters with other 300 piercings. You know the ones, the dark ones that always make cringey sounding “witty” comebacks. mostly plays either Blood or Void Elves. Most likely plays rogue and never actually does content. Oh and please tell me more about how your parents are the worst things in existence, despite you being 25 and not having a job but leaching off them instead.

Guard guilds with walkie-talkies. two can play at that game. I just called up my goblin friends who invented the A-phone, it can call my whole guild and has fun apps like Grindr, which I only use to try and Find Shonn.

Duskwood of course makes it on this list, it always amazes me how such a small zone can create such large havoc. Next is Joker and Harley Quinn Void Elves, do us all a favour and jump off the edge of Telgoras rift for us.

And Finally the one thing I hate the most, People who write long Peeve posts about the types of people they hate, like get a life dude. really.

Knaak’s writing. More specifically the proto-dragons calling -themselves- proto-dragons in the past, before dragons exists or are even hinted at. I will never be over this, it peeves me every time I think of it.

I prefer orc weaponry because it’s much simpler in design and more practical.

I swing my giant stone sword wrapped in chains and bones around HREH

Reading Knaak’s books is like reading a bedtime story but instead of fairy tales and giving glee
 The man bores you out with political nonsense. His books are the worst, it’s better to skip the first half and get to where the fun part is.

I don’t understand these people, they know cloaks exist, right?

Or you know
 Pants.

You mean those tight, form fitting trousers? To suggest such a thing is heinous!.. Which rhymes with another word for butt.
Why is that word censored?!

Made out of leather.

“Hey kids! Do you want a toy that turns you in to an eredar, or other transformations or visuals that can improve your personal enjoyment, or for Roleplay purposes?”

Yeah!

“Well too bad. We shall give you these toys, but we will put them on five minute durations, and also apply five hour cooldowns on them, lasting even up to a day or two.”

Hey Blizzard, why is there an idiot following me around spamming a football at me without any cooldown in between?

“Hey, come on now
 Fun toys like that wouldn’t make sense with a cooldown.”

I am honestly surprised that the Vrykul Drinking Horn still has no cooldown slapped on it. And hopefully it never does, because that thing is great.

I never quite understood this excuse when I see dudes playing ladies. I often play male characters, sometimes going off to make a female character with the reason of “I thought of a character idea that a female character seems like the fitting choice”, or just for variety’s sake. And even then the character may or may not turn out to be deleted after a few weeks or so because I can’t get in to playing a female character.

Here’s a kicker: One time when I asked a guy why he plays only female characters, his response was “It’s easier to play as a female character”, which has all sorts of implications which are just
 You know, absolutely stupid. Easier how exactly?

Well, that is a mighty leap in terms of conclusions
 But may not be an unreasonable one.


 Do they have a plate in their mouth as well?

Anyway, for my own personal peeve, and it is a long ESO one, so here it goes: ESO’s maintenance periods. They take a long time, and come at times when it’s most inconvenient
 Like right now. I gotta go somewhere where I won’t have access to my computer for roughly three-four hours.

And on that note, I feel like I may be getting burned out on the game. Not because I don’t enjoy it or I am doing unenjoyable things (To a degree), but moreso because I wanna get in to PvE there, but I just find myself really
 Frustrated with that whole venture.

I wanna do raids and dungeons there on the harder difficulty, primarily because I want to unlock the appearances from those difficulties so I don’t have a part of my mind suffering “Aaargh, missing unlockables!”, rather than wanting to show them off and try to look prestigious and pride and accomplishment and all that nonsense.

But there is a really small chance of me ever getting said unlocks, either because I myself may not be the pristine form of a PvE doer (Because the gearing system in that game is just
 Boo, and I somehow still feel like I am doing poorly despite playing piano with my abilities), which is a bit of a hurdle in terms of getting unlocks.

And you know what? That painful feeling of missing unlocks, along with wanting to do PvE and getting frustrated over certain aspects makes me really just
 Not enjoy the game as much. And I can do the overland content but that junk is piss-easy, so it’s not properly satisfying me.

I have no idea what to do with myself
