Okay, so I was doing proof of a hero with switch axe after actively trying to learn the weapon for a few days. I ask an in game friend to help me out with the quest and I post it in the lobby, but I had forgotten to turn auto SOS off. When the quest starts, two more people join and I’m annoyed at myself, but I think fine, my mistake, we’ll go with four people. I think this was my first quest of the day and since I am still trying to understand swaxe right, I make some avoidable mistakes.
Oh btw, the dual blades guy had his mic on, so the moment he joined there was just this constant noise in the background, as well as someone doing the dishes I think. He also made the most typical gamer sounds of breathing heavily into his microphone and snorting. I wasn’t really paying attention to him, so I have no clue if he was playing well or not, but either way that doesn’t really matter.
I cart one time against AT Rey Dau from one of his lingering lightning attacks after I do a full counter. My bad, should have cancelled it. I restock and head back into the fight. After a while, I think someone else carts either against Rey Dau or Uth Duna, don’t remember if it was the DB guy or not, but it was one of the two randoms. When Nu Udra gets here, I go to fight him instead. I get hit by one of his tentacle attacks that puts me on the ground and requires my character to get up. As I finish getting back up , I see frickin Uth Duna slide across the arena towards me. At this point I’m like half health and I know Uth Duna does a quick belly flop after moving like that. I go to counter, but I do it too early, so I just sit there watching Uth Duna descend upon me as my character stupidly swings her sword up. I cart a second time (we had insurance).
At this point I feel bad because I fired the SOS and carted twice. I’m way more chill about carting if it’s just me and people from a lobby, but I know carts in SOS have a tendency to be annoying (even if SOS has a reputation for this kind of thing happening all the time). I think fine, I’ll lock in and we’ll make this happen, but then the DBs guy just had to open his filthy ass mouth and say in the most condescending 15 year old voice ever “MaN, wHy dO YoU sUcK sO MuCh?” (Insert voice crack).

REALLY DUDE?! I HAVE TO FUCKING ENDURE YOUR SHITTY ASS MIC AND FILTHY BASEMENT DWELLING MOANS THE WHOLE HUNT AND THE FIRST TIME YOU ACTUALLY FUCKING SPEAK IS TO BE A TOXIC LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT?! BRAVO TO YOU!! OH I AM SO SORRY I CARTED TWICE IN THE FUCKING HARDEST HUNT OF THE GAME. SHAME ON ME YEAH? SO SORRY I WAS PLAYING A WEAPON I AM STILL GETTING USED TO. OH- AND WAIT, YOURE THE FUCKING ASS THAT JOINED MY SOS FLARE IN THE FIRST PLACE!! YOU DID THIS TO YOURSELF DUMBASS. GET SOME FUCKING FRIENDS TO PLAY WITH IF YOURE NOT HAPPY, BUT EVEN THEN I DOUBT YOU CAN APPROACH ANYONE WITHIN A 50 METERS RADIUS BECAUSE OF THAT GAMER STENCH. REALLY, WHAT A WAY TO GO DUDE! SO PROUD OF YOU BEING THE BIGGER MAN HERE AND SHOWING HOW MATURE YOU ARE.

Welp, that felt good. I would have kicked his ass out if he hadn’t left first, but man, just why? Why did he even have his fucking mic on? Also, can people not even struggle in the hardest quest available in the game now? What even was his plan joining an SOS? I bet he was expecting to get carried or something, because otherwise who joins an SOS to help the host and complains??
The hunt ended shortly after when a random carted (sadly no heroic comeback) and the first thing I did is turn off auto SOS. I am happy to announce that I will probably never turn it back on or fire an SOS flare myself again.
You might agree with the DBs guy that I sucked, but really I don’t give a shit. His behaviour was as rotten as the two brain cells he has remaining in his hollow cranium and I am so glad I got this off my chest.
