Sounds good to me! Do you live with the cool kids in cambridge/somerville MA, or do we have to play online?


Well yes, I may have deserved to lose. That doesn't make me rage less though!

Lol, we'd have to play online. I'm in Canada =p

[AdonBlitz]

I usually just accept my loss, and move on. If I had a bad day, I may rage a bit.

you just trick yourself into believing you never lost. that's what most people do.

If I need to win a certain amount of times to enjoy something, then I just play something else that I'll enjoy regardless of win/lose instead.
Enjoy winning as a bonus vs. Needing to win

What do you mean exactly by losing? I just go "Argh!" and either try again or give up.

[Aaronnn]

don't lose

[Tetsamaru]

"Losing"? What is this "Losing" you speak of?

I do not understand this concept.

[Susan]

you can try to convince everyone that you weren't even trying

[Nitro]

YOU BEAT ME IN A VIIIDEO GAME YOU FIEND GRRRRRRRRR

I wasn't even trying anyway, I was AFK homework.

[Shanedude]

Is that news article real? Wow. Disturbing how far some people will go over a game.

Also going off CSI, poisoning is mainly a womens way of killing.

How do I cope with getting killed/team'd on in pvp?
- I don't let it show
- I smoke a joint and come to my senses that it's just a game.
- Look out the window of my house at my nice car.

Sounds like a good topic to mention this again:

Almost a decade old now? Ugh.

[Facekiller]

to me a loss only counts 1 vs 1... getting killed by a party makes them pathetic...

to me a loss only counts 1 vs 1... getting killed by a party makes them pathetic...

except for the fact that this game is more fun with a party, and 1v1 isn't balanced at all in most scenarios and etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.



get sum frindz

[Facekiller]

i like 1 vs 1 battles... im not top of the food chain when it comes to classes so it makes the wins even sweeter... i especially like 1vs1 in the same class... everybody knows the classes arnt balanced so the real test comes vs your own class... best of the class...

[Lazulum]

When you play scroll shooters often you become fairly accustomed to losing.
The above stated, it's simple trial and error.
The game exists whether or not you are accepting of your losses.

How do I deal with losing?

Well firstly I slam my keyboard. Then I realize I just broke an expensive keyboard and rage about that. I pick up my monitor and toss that out of the window. Go downstairs, head outside, kick the cat on the way, retrieve the monitor, put it back on my desk. Tape the DVI cable back together with duct tape. Sit down and stare at te monitor in despair. Turn to drink. Play another game. Lose with the knowledge that I am drunk and that is acceptable. Go to bed in a foul mood. Do the same the next day.

[ilovemilk]

I mean, I know in RO you can go to the cash shop, and buy a bunch of buff items. That I understand. I have a salary of >70k - which, as far as I can tell is higher than the whole Gravity development budget ...

What do you do? 70K is a lot.

[HikariYari]

Lets see I don't compete with others thus I don't rage.

[GuardianTK]

Make/level a character that can kill them. Go in and kill them once. Bwing as soon as you kill them. Ignore Whisper them. Leave and never let them kill you again. Done.

[LordVader]

I laugh at how proud they are about something so meaningless. Most times, people will remember my name and celebrate a victory against me while I never remember theirs and it's forgotten before I even get to map change.

how does one even "lose" on the internet?
Regarding matters of ideals and beliefs;
i personally never lost a battle of words. There are very few forum trolls that could out wit me to begin with. In fact, my friends often find it entertaining to see me shut trolls up on forums with superior reasoning skills, while adding a touch of cynical flair.

Regarding losing in a game;
In general, everyone has something they are better at. I'm naturally placed into masters league for starcraft with less than 200 game experience, but I scream wtf everytime someone headshots me through a crate in CS.
Sometimes there are those individuals who's skills far exceed our own, but i find that the older you get, the less it bothers you.
Well, that's essentially how life works, isn't it? No one is really born equal, so why fuss or get angry over something you cannot change?

Losing in any game may be frustrating yes, but I usually just think about all the mistakes i made throughout the game and try to not make the same mistakes again in the future.

The ONLY thing that gets me pissed of enough on the internet is cyber bullying. I find it extremely distasteful. When I was younger I could not understand why anyone would do such a thing. And even when I wasn't the target of this, it always got my blood boiling seeing someone having fun off of someone else's pain. (this happens a LOT in pvp rooms of any game, I don't understand why really.)

- as a side note as i got older I've actually met cyber bullies online that lived around my area. Most all of them are those nerdy/shy individuals that don't have many friends irl. (there might be some extremely popular cyber bullies but I've never seen any) So then I started to be able to sympathize with them a bit.

I think winning or losing isn't that important in a game, having fun is. If you can only have fun when you win then I think maybe you don't enjoy the game itself but only the fleeting euphoria of victory. in which case i think finding a new game to play may be a better solution instead.

[EndovDaze]

Every class has a weakness. Make enough characters to cover your main's weakness. Always have an asura monk ready for when things just don't go your way. Asura + bwing = win.

Make support classes that boosts your main. Or pay $ to kafra to give you nice gear and buffs. Can't go wrong with assumptio!

Or you know, you can just have the right friends.

p.s I on the other hand, don't care enough when I lose to do any of this.
