City of Heroes Things you find annoying

[hyacathinose]

-When you are too far from an npc to talk to them, but when you click them from that far your character doesn't walk to them. =(

 

What do you find mildly annoying about COH?

[Rathulfr]

Follow melee doesn't work when flying/hovering.  If I'm on the ground running and I /follow a target, I can queue a melee attack while I'm moving, and it fires when I close to melee range.  But if I'm in the air flying/hovering and I /follow a target, I can queue a melee attack while I'm moving, but it does not fire when I close to melee range.  I have a scoot forward another foot manually for the queued attack to actually fire.  Why?

I find clicks annoying in CoH. The way it triggers based on server latency, so you rush to a door or glowie and click it, and you get nothing because to the server you're not in range yet.

Still doing the crotch grab on Hazard Zone swat guys. It's been literally a decade, please fix this.

teleport into a base.  I click on someone, but the base teleporter is in the way and I am teleported back to where I came from

Follow melee does not work at all.  If you queue up a melee attack on a followed mob and they run, they will run over heather and dale and your attack will not fire until they decide to stop.

Run-aways. 

Especially run-aways paired with our in-combat movement speed suppression.

 

We have SO MANY goons in this game who'll gleefully jet away to the far side of creation, at full speed... While we're stuck moving at the pace of a snail stuck in glue. It just irks me. <_<

knockback

repel

people with wings but no flying powers

pure emps

name squatters that never play said alt

cold dom/ff/thermal people with neon or pitch black for their buffs

that base teleport stuff.  constantly in TFs people mash it before TT gets summoned

[Abraxus]

I have a few annoyances.  But, in all honesty, I'm thrilled just to be able to experience them again.  So, I'm good!

I hate when I hit Tab to target an enemy that's currently in my face but the game targets bad guys in a mob .5 miles away

Enemies with built-in flight are absolutely the worst offenders here.  Goldbrickers and Sky Raiders are especially bad, but holy hell the Cabal will fly away near instantly.  I can't stand fighting Cabal on any character that doesn't have AoE immobilize and flight supression; they even flee from Tanker taunts!

[Black Zot]

End drain and mez spam.  Bad enough when you have one mob in a spawn that does it, but when entire factions have one or the other (or both, for Malta) as their entire gimmick ... ARGH!

 

"You don't get to play right now" is about the worst thing you can do to a player.  Seriously, what's the point of even accepting a mission when 30-50% of your button presses are going to do NOTHING?

There is a "Target Closest Enemy" button, I think it's Shift-Tab by default. I always use that to start my tabbing from the closest enemy and go outwards. It pretty much solves this issue completely.

Heh. My main is Illusion/Storm. You haven't seen "flying for the hills" until you have 2 Tornadoes, 3 Storms, a Rain, and a Spectral Terror, and Enflame, all with a Fear effect... and three poor overworked Decoys trying to wrangle them all to sit still and participate in the discussion.

There is a target nearest. I use it 99% time even with my Blaster.  I have It hot keyed but the Setting is baked into the game. It is not a macro

 

[Redlynne]

The Self vs Other distinction in powers baked into the game.

I shouldn't have to have TWO powers in order to Aid Other AND Aid Self.

 

If I have a $Target selected, and it's friendly ... Aid Other.

If I have a $Target selected, and it's hostile ... Aid Self.

If I have no $Target selected ... Aid Self.

 

With that kind of functionality built into the game you'd only need ONE power ... Aid ... and could use it on others AND yourself.

As a soloist this is especially glaring on Blasters. The other damage Archetypes get self heals, my Blasters have to pick a power I'll never use to get one.

He time travelled and killed the Dodo.  Getting around to the rest on the list.

Your objective is to destroy a large stationary object, such as a crate, a desk, or a pylon three times the size of a person. You attack. You miss.

Hey ... it could happen ...

[Heraclea]

I always end up having to make macros to allow powers that are targeted at ground circles to be targeted at a mob instead.  They usually work; they sometimes mysteriously fail.

The annoying huge window that pops up every time you join a group and get exemp/SK to another level that you have to click accept with a countdown. Sometimes this pops up multiple times and you have to keep clicking accept or when you exit a mission. Sometimes I accidentally press quit and then get removed from the group I just joined. I have no idea what happens if the timer runs out because I feel stressed to click accept as quickly as possible!

Myyth, you can disable the exemplar pop-up window in options.
