Last time I played on a TTS server a bunch of people from the clan were on and I was the medic in their kiting game (it was 2am and there was nothing else to play). Whenever one of them took any sort of damage - regardless of how significant it was - he would yell into his mic (in a southern United States accent): "WHERZ MAH HEALS DAMNIT?!" or even better "HEALZ HEALZ HEALZ HEALZ..." (gradually getting louder) until I healed him. Think I made it to wave 8 or 9 before I turned on music to drown him out, but we wound up winning (kinda hard not to do nowdays with a zerker team) so I guess it worked out ok in the end. :D

But yeah, like most people here I've had a couple of bad Lenny experiences, so any time I see him on a server I just leave.

Ah, we should all ignore you from now on.

Lenny is an absolute chode, everyone should avoid TTS servers.


+1

can't stand TTS servers, played on them a couple of times a while back and just can't stand the type of people that run them. I avoid them now at all cost.

You know I've never actually seen Lenny even though I've played on that server quite a bit. Am I missing out? From what you're saying he sounds like quite a character.

Lenny is a decent berserker, but that's not really hard to do. Other than that, i don't think I've seen him play any single perk well.

Best story I can give with Lenny, joined a friend (who runs with Lenny frequently) on their server, and Lenny just happened to be on it. They were zerk kiting wyre on Suicidal, I joined mid wave 6 so I get to start on the FP waves. I get my axe/katana/LAR, and start to play the game. Everything goes smoothly through wave 7, as we double and triple teamed the FPs that came during the wave. Next wave is wave 8, 2 of the zerks die within the first 30 seconds to a minute, so it's now down to Lenny, another zerk, my friend (a medic) and myself. First FP of the wave one zerk and the medic go off doing their thing with the FP, so that leaves me and Lenny to the rest. He takes on some scrakes and I end up taking the FP that comes right about this time. I successfully kite the FP and kill it, then proceed to slow pick off sirens and husks. Well Lenny gets a group of 3 scrakes to kill, while I take another FP that spawns. I get the FP killed but I'm down to around 50 HP, and I hear Lenny on mic saying "Someone get me a heal, I need healed" so I run over to where he is, he's only down about 40 health, and I pop a heal in him figuring he'll heal me too. Nope, he doesn't help heal me, he decides to self heal and run off. So I'm thinking to myself "screw this" and go off to fight some more. Not even 30 seconds later Lenny gets raped by a triple siren and a husk, and he starts saying on mic "where the hell were you kamikaze, you don't know how to play, you left me get killed." I was like "You self healed when I came from 1/2 way across the map to help you out and heal a whopping 40 damage while you still have 3/4 armor, and you don't even bother trying to heal me who was at half health and no armor." And he's like "whatever well you're gone, you are garbage at this game and don't know how to play teamwork." Lets just say I left before he could ban me.

That's my biggest run in with Lenny. Any time I've seen him or heard anything about him he sounds like an idiotic douchebag who can do nothing other than Kite.

You think that's, bad? I've come across several "perk powerlevel" servers on HoE. I was actually kicked out of two servers I tried joining because I was to "high level" (all my perks are Level 6).

These types of servers power level players to 6 quickly without the actual experience to back the level, thus adding to the crappy players I've continually been running into on the higher difficulty settings in the past few months.

Too true. I've run into so many Level 6 noobs lately, it's disgusting.

I'm a server admin on one such server. We kick people three types of players: people that insult me or the server or otherwise present themselves as "undesirable", players with a very low level perk that show up late game, and occasionally a random person when I must make room for a clanmate (usually let them know and ask them to come back when there's a free spot).

It's tough running a higher difficulty level server, trying to win games and be fair to many people. At the end of the day though people must remember this simple thing: It's my server, I payed for it and I can do what I want there. If someone doesn't like the way that I run things, then they can leave and setup their own server.

I would have to agree. I've seen to many high players who don't really know how to play their perk/maps properly. Is there a specific way? It will all depend on the playing style. Being able to adapt is one thing but being forced to pick up the slack for high level idiots is a whole new matter entirely.

This thread seriously gave me motivation to put up a Hell on Earth server in addition to the one I have on Hard. If any of you happen to play in it and anyone is being disrespectful, get their name and I'll have them banned.

I hate, with a passion, people who ruin the game for others.

This doesn't do any good unless you actually check the log yourself to get proof or receive persistent complaints from many people. Please please please don't be one of those super ban happy admins.
