Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do

#11700000540 06/11/2006 13:59:36 Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do
I've seen drunken 5 Points Partiers staggering around Apollyn, Choppers Jumpers jumping up and down while some of their buddies cheered, Bells Madonnas ./walllean-ing in the middle of an alleyway and a Sparks Match running around in circles so much I couldn't draw a bead on him.

But the other night, I jacked into Tabor Park North and I heard a Demon Army guy coughing. Then the very same night, I was sitting outside Club Sphinx, waiting for someone, and I watched a Bullets Herle Kin walk up some steps nearby, walk across the open area in front of the club, stop in front of me and wave to someone before walking down a ramp nearby and walking back to the same set of steps. She did this about five times in the space of ten minutes.

And a couple weeks back, I was interlocked with Big Dog, the boss of the Dog Pound gang in Lamar; I had him down to his last bit of health, when his pistol vanished from his hand, he covered his face with his hands and started crying. I half expected him to whine "Mommy!"

Anyone else seen crazy things like that?

When the neighborhood revamp first came out, I noticed the Choppers would plant something near cars. This something would suddenly explode with a Viral Attack animation and the Choppers would all jump and shout for joy.


But nothing compares to the horror that is...two Blackwoods giving each other cake.

   Have you ever sat in the One Zero or Zero One Archives and watched the mob in there?  They do some funny movements sometimes.  At one point they even seem to tighten a bolt in their hips. XD

On the test server, one of the (male) Hellions in Union Hill did the succubus 'kiss of death' attack on Sattakan.  :robotsurprised:

That would be the Choppers. Car Jackers, they are.

I was killing some choppers and one of them hid behind a truck and repeatedly went into evade then when I came back later he did it again and would only stop being such a coward when the fighting stopped.

Hee! A Jade Moon did somthing similar to me; I interlocked her, and out of the blue, she rolled out, then ran away screaming in terror.

The Blackwood like to vomit at me and whistle.


Kinda like Mardi Gras.

#11700000587 06/24/2006 12:06:35 Re: Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do
Got a new one: I was running through Moriah Projects, when I happened to spot a Crossbones guy standing in the middle of a bunch of trash, staring at the ground at his feet. Then he stooped down and picked up something. I wonder if he was looking for his lost contact-lens or something.

The NPCs loadouts aren't the same as real players thats why you can have low level NPCs that are grandmasters in a ma.

That has got to be the stupidest thing they have ever done. The devs must be programming them to do these things to make us laugh.

The
Crossbones in Dannah Heights. There's a little parking lot with a
delivery truck in it by one of the Dannah hardlines. One of the
Crossbones would crouch down by the truck's tire, there'd be a flash
and a puff of smoke, and the thug would actually stand and cheer about
it. Sometimes he'd just laugh, too. I think they still do it, haven't
checked in a while.
Hysterical. :smileyvery-happy:
I encountered a very drunk Furies Fanatic one evening outside Kalt in Kedemoth.
She taunted me:

She pointed at me:

She slurred insults at me:

Then she walked away:

...and puked on the benches:

It was a while back and i wish i would of took a screen shot, and iveh eard other people say it happened to them, i Killed a mob and his buddy started crying lmao was hilarious
#11700000596 06/27/2006 15:28:46 Re: Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do
The Crossbones seem to do the craziest things (but there again, I've been running around Richland quite a bit lately): Just the other night, a buddy of mine and I were sitting on a bus-stop bench on a streetcorner and this one Crossbones Tar kept coming up behind us and ./kickdoor-ing behind us. I don't know what that was about...
#11700000621 07/05/2006 21:36:05 Re: Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do
Maybe the devs are controling the NPCs.... but I had one laugh at me... then the whole mob joined in... The voices... make them stop laughing!
#36300217489 04/18/2007 16:03:32 Re:Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do

I think I saw the ultimate wierd thing a gang spawn could do, last night when I was running in Uriah. I wish I had one of those video capture programs, I would have made a vid of it as proof.

I saw a Choppers Booster doing that stoopid monkey-dance emote; I was trying to collect keys for a pair of boots, so I started shooting at him. Instead of going into combat mode, he got himself stuck in one part of the monkey-dance emote, so he was twitching in one place, with these "eek-eek-eek-eek" noises going. I almost fell off my chair laughing, and I'm laughing so hard right now, I'm having a heck of a time typing this post without making a lot of really dumb typos.

#36300226640 04/28/2007 20:39:41 Re:Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do
I was killing Demon Army guys the other night, when one comes up to me and ./vomit-s. I think he was freaked out because I killed his buddy, or he couldnt' stand the sight of code-blood.
#36300226884 04/29/2007 09:52:55 Re:Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do

The funniest thing I've seen a gangmember do was when one of the (male) npc's in Union Hill did the Succubus-kiss attack on Sattakan!

There's a picture somewhere of one of those guys doing the same to WGAnubis, which almost defines ridiculous...
#36300247205 05/28/2007 11:02:09 Re:Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do
I was standing in Midian I think, and I was just standing there watching the NPCs, and there was one, he stood looking at a car, /laughed then walked round a little, then /stomped then walked round a little further, /blushed then ended in exactly in the same spot as before and /laughed again and just did that continuously.

The gangs in Moriah Projects that set off Bombs are the best.

#36300315827 09/02/2007 23:03:59 Re:Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do
I think the Blackwoods are edging up on the Crossbones for funniest behavior: I was farming for Onyx rings (on one of my lowbie alts) the other night, and I saw a bunch of them in ./mood shy clustered around a barrel with a fire going in it like they were chilly. Guess these early autumn nights are getting to them.
#36300315868 09/03/2007 01:29:18 Re:Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do
A Blackwood Goof /followed me for eight or nine blocks yesterday.  I almost CCR'd him.
#36300317735 09/06/2007 00:51:58 Re:Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do

So a Dev or CSR finishes their work early and has a bit of time to kill, they open up their software and take over a gang member and start acting all strange? If this is true... it's bloody fantastic! Some of these instances sound like they are executing predefined macros or something when someone is near but others sound like the real deal! 

Now they just need a way to start attacking you for no reason!

I think she is the ugliest bluepill in the game.  I cringe every time I see her
#36300318948 09/08/2007 12:28:07 Re:Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do

once, while by the dannah heights w hl, a local gang npc just walks up to the hl almost as if hr is going to go to laoding area then faces me starts point, shrug, scratchead, i start emoting back and we go into an emote war, it finally starts going to the subway ( at this point i think its rarebit ) so i root him, he emotes a shakefist then starts shooting at me. i demand answers so keep on rooting it, it keeps on shooting me then some zerg despoiler came and nuked the are along with the npc....

another time, i was in southard talking with snapze777, machete and nehoe, i have a few clothing clients zone in, give them their code they zone out, suddenly an agent spawns and pwns all three but me since i went into sneak as soon as i seen machete die, the agent was there for a good 2 hours, i tried calling people to come pwn the agent but not enough contacts i guess, so everyone that came through the southard hl would get pwn by the agent, the agent was walking like a decoy would.  it never found me but killed everyone else....

Hee, the last time I was at Dannah Heights W, meeting with a friend, one of the spawn *did* come up to the HL, then proceeed to start the ./point/scratchhead/shrug thing. I was too busy to start an emote war with it, but I'll try that the next time.

#36300321920 09/13/2007 07:53:48 Re:Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do
I was running as one of my lowbie alts last night, and I think the Demon Army must have had a little too much wine at one of their rituals: I came across a bunch of them that were all staggering around in ./mood drunk. Then as I was Sneak-ing up on one, and attacked him with Spinning Backsweep, another one started waving at me as I broke Sneak mode.
#36300324980 09/18/2007 13:48:43 Re:Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do
I think there is a mission where a Club Hel Guard locks you in a room and wants to 'play' with you.  That freaked me out.

 
#36300327639 09/23/2007 12:37:30 Re:Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do

One time I came out of a building and saw a Crossbones Bumboo picking something up off the ground and eating it repeatedly.  Like the pill swallowing anim.  He did this for several times - about 4 or 5.  And then he got sick and did the vomit anim.  Why he was picking stuff up off the dirty, filthy ground and eating it I have no clue.  Must have been really hungery ...

And one time I saw a group of choppers - one of them was all drunk.  And his 2 buddies where shouting at him repeatedly and getting all mad and crossing their arms.  I killed the drunk one - and started to shoot the other 2 and they were bugged - stuck in a loop and tweeking out in place.  Heh - I hold no love.

I saw a Bell running, stuck in anouther run loop, running repeatedly in one spot.  So I RPed a little.

Bell: "Uhm - I seem to be stuck in a run loop routine.  Can I have a little help here?"
Me: "Sure - let me help you with that."
I raise my gun and shoot at her - killing her on the spot.  Heh - I'm very cruel sometimes.

Either that, or he was a really young, clueless Exile who'd recently been recalled to the Source and had no clue you shouldn't eat stuff off the ground. :: laughs::

Hm! Gives me an RP idea for an Exile character of mine who lives off code from other Exiles...

Heh, she might have been able to reconstruct: I've been speculating those little token things the gangs carry contain portions of their code, which allows them or their buddies, or whoever holds the gang's leash (since some of the gangs are in cahoots with some of the neighborhood contacts...) to rebuild them.

#36300328025 09/23/2007 22:59:04 Re:Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do

#36300330321 09/28/2007 17:26:38 Re:Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do

On a archive mission i heard a command say before attacking me. "This is not Mara C" or something like that, that made me laught to.

#36300330566 09/29/2007 09:37:45 Re:Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do
One of those moments when I wish I'd been quicker on the draw taking a screenshot: I was tapping Data Nodes in Baldwin Heights last night, and hit a node full of PB 1 doctors, which then proceeded to clump altogether side-by-side in a line with their backs up against the side of a building, since I was in a small plaza between buildings when this happened. They looked like either a firing squad or a very strange Rockette-style chorus line.
#36300331073 09/30/2007 11:12:47 Re:Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do
i saw two choppers trying to plant a car bomb, and they both stood up a shrugged at each other.
#36300332268 10/02/2007 19:23:34 Re:Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do

Speaking of weird things NPC spawns say ...

I was playing some early archive missions - the ones with the Red Eye Agent imposters.

One of them said - I kid you not ...

Agent - "This will be ... pleasurable."

0.O ... I think it was in context that he was intending to do me harm.  But ... Man ... *fans girly self*  I screencapped that one for safe keeping!  Heeheehee - I've got a thing for those mechs in their sharp suits.

That would have been awesome for XP earning, just use that Nuker Sim, target one of them (prefferably in the middle), then run out the way (to avoid the lag) then go nuts!  ^_^

Yeah it would have been great....if any of them were real...There were only really one or two of them, The glitch in there texture causing them to "multiply" caused the lag....so once we tried attacking everything stop for a minute or two and all of them would disappear, I would leave get to the Stamos SC hardline and it would stop and throw me back into the middle of them all again, Had to wait till they shut down that area to get out....wouldn't even let me suicide.
#36300354236 11/16/2007 04:49:18 Re:Wackiest thing you've seen the gang spawn do
I haven't seen anything really wacky from the gang NPCs lately. The odd gang member waving me over, yeah, but nothing totally weird.


One of the Bells near the Achan N hardline has a "Talk" option when you right click her. Unfortunately, she never respawns, and her body perpetually lies on the ground near the hardline after someone kills her.


I haven't been able to talk to her in ages.... t_t
