This server is toxic

If you are outdoors, aren’t you obligated by the rules to share those spawns?

When Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles opens in theaters this weekend, one thing is almost certainly guaranteed: the film will most definitely be thematically and tonally different than the original Mirage Studios comic book series from the early 1980s. That’s because pretty much every iteration of the TMNT has been vastly different from the original source material.

Created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird in 1984, TMNT was never intended to become a global phenomenon. With a print run of just a shade over 3,000 copies, and published in a black and white magazine format, the first issue of the series reads more like a send-up of other, more established comic book characters like Daredevil and the New Mutants. As a result, Eastman and Laird never held back with their series, filling it with gratuitous violence, grotesque imagery and wild and irreverent plot points. Those who first became familiar with the ninja turtles with the rest of the universe in the late 1980s after the launch of the TMNT animated series, will in all likelihood find Eastman and Laird’s comic book characters to be completely unrecognizable. In fact, with the black and white format, the reader can’t even tell which turtle is which unless they were holding a weapon.

Anytime I see someone say Toxic I get visions of Reddit memes and Canadian female hobbits running around with "No Hate in Norrath" signs.

The rules say you can only camp a single spawn in an outdoor zone. So if someone is camping more then one mob and someone else engages a spawn first, you have to accept you lost the mob. Not the same as sharing, however. Now you just fighting over spawns. If your are a higher level, or a more solo suitable class, you will more then likely come out on top. Same question applies, in my mind, is that toxic?

You are poking fun, but let us dig deeper. A realistic situation many of us have seen before. Hill giants are being farmed by two or three lvl 50s. You arrive on scene to see NO hill giants are up. Not one.

Now, I agree that if you are first to engage, you have rights to that mob. My question isn't about that. My question, is it toxic if the over-leveled individuals do everything (allowed by the rules) in their power to limit your ability to pull? They don't share. They don't leave you one or two mobs to hunt. They continue the slaughter to the absolute best of their abilities. Is that toxic? Or is that normal behavior?

This is the issue I think. Behavior isn't a yes or no, on or off, 1 or 0 thing. You can fall inbetween "polite, civilized behavior" and "toxic cod kiddy cesspool." But people are quick to label either one or the other.

Imo, simply not being polite and helpful and perhaps selfless (if you're acting within the rules, then ceding anything IS basically selfless) is one thing. Actively being a dick (like forcing your way in on someone else just because they weren't willing to be selfless and helpful, let alone something like training with intent to kill or KSing by outdamaging or whatever) is the toxic stuff.

Trust me when I say this server has come a LONG way from being truly toxic. Most of the ill minded people have burned out or been banned.

back in 2010-2014 was probably the most toxic period of this server. And the fact that they had to clean up the forums is proof of this.

Many of you will never know just how crazy things on p99 and p99 forums use to be. I was lucky to catch the tail end of the madness.

Would like to add... its not "This game" or "This server" is toxic. It is people. People online. Was reading the classic patch notes and a couple made me laugh about the mentality of some of the gamers even back in the heyday and innocents of the Internets. People will find ways to have an advantage. Any advantage.


This is classic toxic.

*Corpse Looting Exploit*

Recently, an exploit was discovered that allowed certain unsavory
individuals to loot the corpses of other players without their consent.
The precise symptom of this is that the owner would find their corpse
stripped of everything except for no-drop items, and items in a bag
with no-drop items. This exploit was fixed in this patch.

We received word a few weeks ago that some people were using these
items to "spam" other players with their spell-effect messages, causing
them to disconnect. Though /ignore will allow you to filter out text
messages caused by people on your /ignore list, it will not allow you
to filter out spell-effect messages for spells cast upon you.

Some people were spamming others with /consent, causing them to
disconnect. As a result, /consent can now only be done once every two
seconds. Should you be harassed via this tool, please use /report.
Also, please take care to avoid accidentally /consenting someone, as it
will be two seconds before you can undo it.

I thought we were friends, this hurts. They accepted my "childish edgelord routine" because they cared about me, and I thought you did too. Guess I was wrong about you. I hope you're doing well, hit me up if you need anything.

The last time I grouped with you I left because you and your friend started making jokes about not liking jews and black people, and when I said something about it you told me that if I didn't like it I should leave.

You are a piece of shit and I will never have anything to do with you beyond telling people that you are a piece of shit.

This server is very toxic. I sat at a camp for two hours waiting on "list" even dropping heals sometimes just to have two of the parties friends.

Yikes, time to reconsider your life.
