Written with a nudge and a wink, but I'm sure we can all identify (or have been at some time)... 

 

Arcane ‘epeen’ warrior – I’m all about the speed.

Favorite comment: ‘You died better than you lived.’  

 

“You see, I just contain so much awesomeness that if I stop for just one second then I may spontaneously combust. Gotta keep moving, at the expense of everyone and everything. I can solo this map, so just follow me and keep up. If you die or get left behind, or become the target of an ambush attack, then you just ain’t as awesome as me. Did I mention I can’t stop? Gotta go. Gotta go. Spirit Blade. Spirit Blade. Spirit Blade.  Spirit Blade. I’m your hero right?"

 

The Sixth Sense player – I don’t see dead people. I see treasure doors.

Favorite comment: ‘Over here. Over here, friends. Over here. Over here.’

 

“I come into every game as the self-chosen leader. I’m a Deep Road veteran, so there’s nothing you can’t teach me about surviving. I know these maps like the back of my shield, so when I see a treasure door, it’s my duty to point it out to my loyal friends.  After all, they’ve just run straight past it towards that advancing mob of enemies. Perhaps they don’t see what I see. This is a treasure door, full of treasure. Don’t they know gold is worth its weight in loot chests. Why are they still not listening to me? I’m going to stand right next to it and shout. Perhaps if I shout louder they will know that there is a treasure door here. After all, I’m the veteran and it’s my job to share my knowledge. Over here! Over here.  What’s that noise – the key turning in the lock. They finished the map. But wait! Over here!’

 

The insecure elitist – I don’t carry people. I don’t associate with low level trash.

Favorite comment: Off mic: “bloody noobs.<grumble, grumble>”

 

“Why are these level 3 and 4s joining Treacherous games? They’ll just die in seconds and bring us all down. Sure, I’m a level 19 Templar and probably indestructible by this stage, but I worked hard for this – cutting my teeth on all those routine missions. Why should they get to leap frog off the back of all my hard work. Hey, what’s that you say? They have about 40 more promotions than me and can practically faceroll routine? They have better gear? Nonsense, I say! Creator take you. Skull them. SKULL THEM. SKULL THEM INTO OBLIVION!”   

 

The slow coach – I’m the tortoise. No wait, I’m a tank. Hmm, I’m confused.

Favorite comment: ‘I don’t believe what I’m seeing’

 

“I know it takes me a while to get where I need to go, but who needs to rush – admire the scenery. Admittedly, I could push down a little harder on my stick and do that crazy sprint function, but I see gold pots I gotta break. Is that another one. And another one. Sorry, didn’t mean to get in your way, I just need to head back to that gold pot. Damn thing won’t break. <slash, slash>. Just wait for me. I won’t be long. Hey, why’s it gone quiet? You all dead or something? Nah, must be just hiding. Think I’ll go looking for them…’

 

The Leeroy Jenkins – Safety in numbers? But it’s the last map. Charge!

Favorite comment:  ‘When all this is over, does anyone fancy a drink down the tavern?’

 

“We’ve worked well as a team, but now it’s time for victory. My loyal companion has charged forth to place the Inquisition banner. I could stay back with the others, but I’m going to charge too – I don’t want to miss a minute of this. Who needs the strategic advantage of a choke point when I can meet my foe in open ground, battle them from every angle and as far from my companions as I can get – this was what I was born to do! Ha, huddle behind your barriers and traps, I’m gonna go it alone then,  show that I’m a true hero of legend…. Oh crap. I died. Why is no-one coming to my aid? Over here! Over here! Over here!”  

 

Any to add?

Aw, what a lovely read.

Thanks for the early morning I-don't-want-to-go-to-work chuckle.

The overly aggressive glass cannon - I could put out so much damage if I could just survive to reach the enemy.

Favorite comment: 'I should be helping you.'

 

"I'm playing a Katari, or maybe a Reaver, or possibly an Assassin or one of the mages. Whatever. I put out a lot of damage, you know? I'm all about that deepz. I'm going to charge into this mob of enemies. Oh, that's a lot of arrows (or Wraith shots). Dammit, I just faceplanted. This game SUCKS. It's totally UNFAIR. BIOWARE PLS NERF ARCHERS KTHXBYE. Hey, why isn't anyone reviving me? Why are they killing the enemies without me and before reviving me? I'll use the button to call for help. Maybe they didn't notice I went down."

 

Edit: I see this guy as slightly different than the Leeroy Jenkins. Leeroy likes to charge in general. The overly aggressive glass cannon has a method behind it (to put out lots of deepz), he just doesn't understand how to approach the enemies safely.

The Leech – I’m too busy to play, god dammit.

Favorite comment: Often not heard, as they’re standing right back at the start.

 

“Oh gosh, this damn gaming lark. It’s so tiresome. I don’t even know why I bother.  Having to check the lobby every half hour to see if anyone joined – oh I got a skull or two, mean and impolite antisocial types. Grr. Oh well, suppose I better press ready. Although, I do need to feed the cat. And email a friend. Oh, and better change out of my dressing gown as it is 3 pm. Don’t worry, they won’t notice I’m not actually doing anything in game, most people don’t know how to kick. I’ll get some free XP and gold. I mean, you can’t expect me to work for it when my life is so busy. Yawn. Oh cripes, someone has just run back and is spamming ‘over here’ in my face. I better magically ‘re-animate’ and do something. God, what a tiresome life, eh?’

I like the ones who only use barrier on themselves, It's my barrier and only I can use it , not going to share with the likes of you

QQ.

 

If you want barrier, make sure you're around me when I'm about to cast it.

Banner=good player.

 

I often get kicked joining pug perilous without banner or portrait, with only the Tevinter Invader title. It's almost a guaranteed kick if I join in as a level 1 with 0/500 xp or a level 20 and ask "Is perilous harder than threatening?". But much humor and confusion when the Billy Mays portrait sits proudly at the top of the scoreboard, and extra laughs when a friend or two is doing the same ^^.

I wish I could 'like' it twice or more.

 

No, really, is it THAT hard to remember and recognize the 'barrier' animation? Or to realize that dead Keepers can hardly shield anyone else?  

 

Also, about leaving the 5th zone backroom. Assassin can hardly be of any use fighting directly in front of her enemies. Sneaking around and banging ranged units is probably one of the best things to do. As long as the player knows how to use stealth, use LoS and pick the right targets. Same true for archers which want to benefit from the height.

[JRandall0308]

Banner=good player.

 

I don't recognize any of the banners so everyone could have the 'play 1 game in Elven Ruins' banner (or whatever it really is) and I'd never know.

It's my barrier and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry if I want to.  You would barrier too if it happened to you.

[jbbbbbbbbbb]

Ahh forgot thought I was playing a team game 

[jamdjedi]

I REALLY dislike the term 'lol' because its far too overused and  we rarely 'laugh out loud' but I just lol'd

[Kenny Bania]

Ahh forgot thought I was playing a team game 

Selfishly demanding barrier when the person with that ability needs it makes you a team player? QQ some more.

[scene_cachet]

The person who demands barrier and gets agro over voice chat  when I'm a Necromancer....

 

They're my favourite. 

[Puffy9999]

I like the guy on Mic that won't let you join unless you promise to talk and talk well Gdamnit.-- LOL

Or the guy with the level 12 Keeper that can barely keep himself alive but wants to make sure everyone stops at every doorway so he can put a Barrier on you.

Good times!

[Beerfish]

Ahh forgot thought I was playing a team game 

All I ask as a barrier caster is for the front line guys to wait just a moment before charging so I can barrier them.  As for ranged players they should try and stay close to the barrier caster.

[Kenny Bania]

^^ Not a team player.

[Beerfish]

There is no I in team...wait....wut?

Right. That's why you should watch your bloody Keeper for the bloody animations, and realize the approximate possible bloody CD times. Yes, she's there to support you, but no, she can't help you in any way when she has found a spot to cover 3\4 (or even 2\4) of the team (herself included), while you happened to be chasing That  Thing across the room. Sorry bro.

 

That's same as expecting tank to take aggro off your butt while kiting the mob away from him. Always kite towards the tank, never run away from your healer, don't stand in shfire - pretty muth the basics of any role-based MMO. 

 

 

do I have to do more ?????????????

just a little bit, yeah.

[Arnold Friend]

. . . But much humor and confusion when the Billy Mays portrait sits proudly at the top of the scoreboard, and extra laughs when a friend or two is doing the same ^^.

 

I'm not calling you a liar, but how do you know this?  In the case where it is just you and three people you don't know, do they vocalize their "humor and confusion"?  I'm trying to imagine how it would play out, but I'm just not seeing it.  Maybe you hear the opening melody to the Andy Griffith show playing gently in the background, before someone gets on the mic doing his best Barney Fife impression and says something like, "Well shucks, guys! How did that happen?".

 

In the case when a "friend or two is doing the same" then where does the "much" confusion come from?  I mean, three of you knew what was going to happen, right?

 

Anyway, what I'm really getting at is that I suspect you might be imagining what the other players are thinking/feeling.  It's a nice fantasy, but outside of one or two anecdotal incidents to cement your bias, I doubt it actually happens regularly.
