Are you talking about that goth girl at X-Cape? She really, really annoys me, trying to be oh-so-cool...

Fortunately, she usually fails her second stage (which is always Taisetsumano, go figure

), so I get to play right after...

Don't forget the little kids that hit the drums when your waiting to play DM.

And who still uses token lines?

shungokusatsu · 06-25-2006, 12:17 AM

Yeah, people still use token lines because it can be used to tell how many people are waiting to play without having to ask a lot of people and as well as figure out how many people left before it's your yurn to play. Always keep an eye on the tokens to avoid token jacking.

Hidden Dark 10x w/10 song: What's the big deal? Some players like to screw around. Not everyone is trying to be the super ultra 99 song without auto anything master.

Showing off with light or autobass: I notice this all the time, and for the life of me I can't understand what the big deal is. Adding help lessens the achievement, but it's still something. I remember one poster who was all bewildered that he got cheers for clearing something really insane (The Least 100 Seconds on Extreme or something) with autobass. Guess what: It was impressive to them.

Sweaty sticks: Um...don't lend your sticks out anymore? Or at least have some paper towels on hand.

Token lines: I've never thought these were a good idea (every token is the same, and the temptation sometimes is just too great). If you're really concerned, you just have to keep an eye on it. And report any abuses to the arcade staff promptly.

Overplayed songs: Yeah, it's a nuisance, always has been, and at least in Hawaii it's worse than ever (there's this one IIDX group that never plays anything besides Xepher, Vault of Heaven, DoLL, Love Shine, Under The Sky, and Twelfth Style). Unfortunately, there isn't anything anyone can do about it. I've tried showing them a wide variety of songs on everything from Pump It Up to Drummania. No dice.

Bottom line...if it's a problem (like getting slapped anywhere), report it and get it fixed. Letting it go only encourages more and worse transgressions in the future. If it's not a problem, remember that it's just a game and sometimes a player is just a player.

What I find annoying about Gitadora is that you have to clear the song on the middle difficulty with autofail on to get a score. The result being that I can't record any score at all on at least half the GF notecharts. I swear, if IIDX was like this, I wouldn't have taken a second glance at VJArmy.com.

You should rename the thread to annoying DM/GF players.. it's very misleading :P

Melchior · 06-25-2006, 03:45 AM

Or we should rename the thread to Bob at AI. ;P

tricked_out · 06-25-2006, 04:40 AM

here is something i find annoying

people that play songs under 35 at 2.5 or higher

t7r · 06-25-2006, 07:51 AM

-Kids playing GF/DM demo
-People using Dragon Blade
-People using nonstop courses, as I easily grow impatient
-People using long versions
-People using gay songs (ie. sakuranbo)
-Kids smashing pads
and...
KIDS
...as if I am'nt one. (not a typo)

I do not know why is nonstop course irritating. It is only 4 songs, and it is even faster if the person do not know how to play properly.
For V and V2 mix, nonstop course is needed for Skillpoint playing, so I think you might find V and V2 mix irritating also.

this all happens to me too at Mesa Golfland in AZ

Little kids that try to hit the pads when i'm playing, when they do this to me i usually just hit their hand and then they go crying running to there parents.
and now our dm machine is broken

even though it's off people try to go and hit the pads saying "Look at me i'm playing the drums..."

I know. I hate it when people smash the pads (beside the bass).

Quote:

-People using Dragon Blade

Well, the whole GFdm community is unanimous that "Dragon-Blade-is-the-Most-Overplayed-Song-to-Death-in-GFdm-History" The problem here is that given the song's reputation, it's hard to change that habit.

Quote:

Did it once, but I didn't find it appealing in the long run.

Quote:

-People using long versions

I know how's it like to wait for about 30 minutes for the current player to finish the current session he/she in. But, in the long run, that's the best thing that ever came out of Bemani altogether!

Quote:

-People playing chick/gay songs (ie. sakuranbo)

Fixed. Ok, Ok, I'm guilty of playing Believe in Love & Boogie Train '03, but people usually pussy out when it comes to Destiny lovers and other upper-level Miyuki Kunitake songs, as I've noticed.

*NEW --people who pussy out on high-BPM songs with at least 290 BPM (namely: Funky sonic World, Across the Nightmare, Seiron, Souhaku, and sotto.)

Kage likes to session · 06-26-2006, 02:16 AM

*new - When I play hardcore stuff like Panasonic Youth, Under Control and Mad Blast and get props from onlookers, but 5 minutes later get dirty looks while playing some girly j-rock song.

*new - people that think they know all the words to the fucking anime crossovers and sing poorly 2 feet from me while I'm trying to enjoy my game.

I think that is the most annoying thing about GF/DM.

DM pet peeve of mine:

large crowds around the machine

- it gets extremely stuffy, not even Nightmare 30 songs in PIU can make you sweat more
- Pressure: i'm compelled to play either very catchy song or extremely hard songs like CiB and likes just to "amuse" them, i cant choose songs i wanted to play.
- i have to leave the vicinity right after the game to avoid them onlookers, its annoying enough for one guy gawking at me, let alone a horde.

our machine is stationed along a wide space "hall" in our mall, its near the movie theatres and an activity promenade, so that's the reason why its that crowded.

i've grown to tolerate little kids hitting the pads while i'm playing and all but its just moronic if people of adolescent age and above are the ones hitting the pads.

also, its irritating to see people choosing TL100sec extreme, grabs his buddy to help him with the toms, finishing it together, and then, gives me this pompous look at me that says : "Hah! I'm waaaaay better than you schmuck".
