I love dealing with griefers. I played conan on a server with an alpha clan who tormented anyone who didnt join them, or paid them "protection." I used to slip into their base, take pictures of them sleeping, and send them the pics, just to screw with them. Id set traps, ambushes... i didnt kill them a lot, there were other members of my group for that. No, i just made them waste healing supplies and time chasing me, back tracking. Id set landmines on paths in the dark.

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

Paying back the bullies/griefers is the best feeling ever.

[@FokkeWulfe]

@neurofiedyamato8763 oh yeah. We ended up with all their best stuff, including a sword the leader had sentimental attachment to. We offered peace, and an agreement they would stop griefing. They stop, we stop, he gets the sword back. They chose not to. I think he's still pissed. We sent him screenshots of us tossing the sword outside the map and it despawning. I don't normally revel in other players being angry at my actions, but those guys were to tier knobs. They hunted me relentlessly early on because I refused to give them half my resources in return for them maybe not using my level 5 character as target practice. It felt so good to pay them back for that. XD

I'm playing Rust on a PvE server, just having fun with base building and killing scientists. Joined some PvP servers a few times, just to see if they are as bad as I thought, and yes, they were, so back to playing on the PvE server. On that server, people stealing from others, raiding bases, or somehow still manage to kill somebody, are literally thrown in a jail - which has Tesla coils and a push button on the outside to grill them, if wanted. O, and the server admin is swinging the ban hammer for anybody breaking the server rules with a vengeance, too! 🤣😂🤣 It's a real nice and friendly community on that server.

That betrayal hurt so much! Back when I played online, I used to love helping out noobs and anyone who needed a rez spell. I almost always played a cleric type character and if someone in my area asked for a rez spell, I would take the time to track them down so they wouldn't have to worry about losing their gear. It was one of my favorite things about online gaming. I only went on one PVP server, I didn't like the vibe and so never went back.

I saw on the chat that everyone tried to kill me because they couldn't loot if I was there. They created a big group of players, and made a plan against me (I was not aware of that atm). One of them approached me, without anything on him, and begging me for help. I wanted to help but he was a little weird. He lured me near the entrance and it was a honeytrap! They killed me. On the other hand, two players didn't like the group leader and joined me later to form a team. We had become the other group's terror which is nice.

[@truekiropfan8329]

@@mikoto7693I have a theory. I think the reason Rust is such a terrible, no good, very bad, horrible game, and ARK: Survival Evolved’s PvP is no better, is because Survival Games and PvP inherently go together about as well as Eggplants and ice cream. Generally speaking, any PvP games that everyone’s on the same map and don’t have gated areas that are the only places where PvP is allowed (most Fantasy MMORPGs, for instance, as the Epic NPC Man series is a parody of), are just generally extremely toxic. PvP functions better in match-based games, which can deal with hackers and toxic bullies by ensuring, unless the server is extremely extremely small, that you’re not likely to encounter the same hacker or bully each match, thanks to match randomization.

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

I've heard terrible things about ARK Survival Evolved, where higher level players would camp the spawn points on the beach to capture new players spawning in and then enslave them. Which begs the question... why the hell are game devs of these games never smart enough to make the spawn zones either inaccessible to higher level players, or switching randomly, or otherwise protected? Heck, MMORPGs have figured that out!

Most fun i had in Arma 2 dayz was when a swedish group built their base on the other side of a hill from my groups base. So obviously it started a full on war for best loot spawns. It ended with the server admin nuking both of our bases before the server wipe

[@Dimetropteryx]

We almost emptied a couple of Exile servers in Arma 3 doing that. Especially one loudmouth buddy of the admin and their friends kept harassing everyone else, stopping them from doing anything. The three of us got into their base, destroyed everything we could, and hunted them like animals from the second they logged in to the moment they left. Eventually they couldn't even get near their base after respawning, they couldn't complete any missions, or visit any trader. Eventually they left the whole server, with more or less just us and a few others left playing, and the admin very unhappy. They actually implemented new rules about using vehicles as weapons thanks to us.

[@KowieMcZowie]

The advice just like in Rust at the end should have been 'don't trust anyone'.

Saw the betrayal coming miles away, but the end was still rewarding to see :D And if the other group had been messing with them several times in the past then how can they not recognize their boss?

I hope not

[@UristMcKerman]

I don't think so. Griefers never get karma-judged in game, karma gets them all IRL

Yes, and karma will not be able to do a thing since they'll stab it in the back and take it's stuff.

Rofl @ Rowan's Predator costume along with the name "Koop" Soup... Blain Kooper with the minigun, that had his chest blown open by the Predator. Brilliant! 😂

[@jamesvan2201]

Where'd the soup part come from though? Only thing I can think is space balls where this dude at a space diner requested the "special" which was a soup. After he ate it, an alien burst from his chest.

[@Beer_Wolf]

@@jamesvan2201 probably just rhymes with Koop. 😛

[@neonshadow5005]

Knew it right from the start. It was a trap. Reminds me of this ARK video I saw where one guy took on an entire clan like this and instead of being the bullies, they found themselves the victims as he bullied them until they just stopped logging in. A whole clan lost to one person.

[@darkerebus1398]

Well now you gotta point me in the right direction cuz that sounds awesome as hell.

Far Cry Guy versus the internet

[@mikoto7693]

Thanks. I’m a strictly PvE or solo Ark player myself but I might enjoy watching bullies get owned. Sometimes I wonder about finding a PvP server to be the same kind of anti bullying avenger.

[@rcsibiu]

I was actually expecting this twist of events. Well done VLDL, you are amazing as actors

[@NickPiers]

If this happened to me, I would genuinely quit and uninstall the game and never return to it. Online bullying is bullshit.

[@mikoto7693]

That’s why I don’t play Rust, where that BS can happen. At least Ark lets you choose between PvP and PvE.

[@noctis6826]

If it did happen, just ignore them and keep playing, eventually you will find a respectable group or teammates, and just know once you do you'll be playing the game much more enjoyable than the bullies, who'll have a lot of baggage and drama on them, and eventually they aren't going to get far in the game world when it all catches up to them or let alone outside in the real world,

[@NickPiers]

@@noctis6826 Alternatively, I could just not play online games. Which is exactly what I've done for many years. Can't encounter toxic players if it's a solo game.

[@DuOpig]

Yup. And this behavior has ruined many games.

[@HelloIAmAnExist]

I mean as someone who's been playing a survival game for quite a while (hey it's only 1 but it counts) anyone who doesn't keep backup gear at base is definitely a noob, no matter how geared they are. Hell, you could be unkillable and die to some lag spike in the wrong place and suddenly you're broke

[@VivaLaDirtLeague]

Our team are definitely noobs! 😅

[@EvilGremlin100]

I would craft great gear, but out of fear of dying and losing it, I'd just hoard it in the base and run around with basic stuff. If my base didn't get raided and my gear looted, I'd eventually get bored and abandon the game anyway.. Or in the case of ARK, I full on rage quitted when I saw my mighty Eagle get taken down by a pack of basic wolves when she refused to listen to my calls for her to flee.. I lost so many terrific animals in that game, but losing poor Angie was the last straw..

[@Konani_the_unicorn_queen]

@@EvilGremlin100 first lesson of ark (single player) tame everything in sight and hope they'll protect each other :v

[@mikoto7693]

I play Ark myself-on solo or PvE and my strategy is to build about three main bases across the map and make them proper double walled fortresses, with a network of smaller outposts that basically just have a spare set of gear and a fast flyer. Yeah it can be a pain making multiple gear sets and catching several Pterodactyls but it’s saved my bacon more times than I can count. Also when I decide I like a species such as the Argentavis (eagle) I always catch a male and female as soon as I can and keep them together in a large stone room in one of my forts. The “breeding pairs” never leave those bases. As soon as I get cryopods I keep them in those. It’s the offspring that I use to actually get stuff done. And if they die? Not really a problem because I can just breed another. Honestly I usually have a younger sibling already bred and partially trained waiting in my forts. Ark has taught me not to love a specific tame, but their bloodline. I have Argys, Rexes, Raptors, Ankys and Basilos that have quite literally served me for generations.

[@SamFishback]

I've played too many survival games so I saw that betrayal coming.
