Shitty red crowns in deviant rooms

Why would a red crown want to join a deviants turns room? Deviants are a stressful grindfest and once you finish them it's quite understandable you are really fed up with them and that shitty music they all have (hard to believe the deviants theme was made by the same company that brought us all Mega Man BGM).
Well... to be honest, you get tired of hearing the shitty deviants music after the fifth quest or so. Can you imagine the mental torture I would have been put through at around 800 deviant quests? Thank god for the option to silence just the music in MHGU... but I digress.

Now that I have the coveted red crown (meaning I posted and beaten all EX deviants) I have just two reasons to keep going to deviants rooms:
  1. To farm tickets to make and upgrade deviant stuff. Most armors are quite interesting and there are many sweet weapons.
  2. To help all my friends who helped me get my red crown to get theirs.
Obviously, not everybody thinks like me. That day I cleared my last three deviants after a 12 hours uninterrupted playing session I lived through many things. And one of the most memorable of those things were shitty red crowns joining my room (which was called "1-EX turns").

How they were shitty

For starters, I noticed most of them have little tolerance to failing quests. When you fail a quest, they leave inmediatly.
A great deal of the experience of clearing deviants involves failing quests over an over. I don't know if they always were like that or if it became a personal policy of them, since it's hard to believe they got that crown with so little tolerance to failure.

Yeah, I have biased policies of my own too.
I usually join lower rank rooms to chill while helping others leveling up. My only policy is greeting people as soon as I join a room, if they don't greet back, I leave the room because I want a relaxed atmosphere and if I'm going to help you, at least you could be nice, you autistic asshole.
... but I digress again.

Coming back to the theme of shitty red crowns, I'll talk about some particularly... folkloric onces I met that day.
They weren't the only shitty ones I met, but hey were surely the worst from the worst.

The troll



HR 999 red crown with this set. I shit you not.
I never kick people based on their armor because I've met many great players with shitty skills (I could swear they handicap themselves so they don't get bored) and elitists obsessed with critical skills bore me so much I don't want to be like them, so I gave this guy the benefit of doubt.

I posted my Hellblade G4 quest; where you cart once, you fail the quest.
What this idiot does? He hastily proceeds to pellet gun Hellblade, tripping my comrades in arms (I brought piercing gun to that fight, fortunately). As soon as I saw that, I was prepared to kick him out of my hub, but I didn't get the chance. That asshat proceed to cart in less than 1 minute into the fight, only to abandon the quest and then the hub.

Meanwhile, our 170ish "noob" didn't even come close to carting, and The Most Suave Badass Prowler I've ever met helped us with the fight.
We got this quest easily. Not thanks to that HR 999 dickhead.

There's no way you can convince me he wasn't trolling us.

The Missing 411

Have you ever seen you can clearly see what quest was posted in a room you want to join before actually joining it? It seems these guys didn't. Or maybe they thought a so low rank quest was not worthy of their royal demeanour and wanted us to know it.

Sadly, it seems this isn't a useless red circle.

Either way, at least three of these guys came, looked at the posting board and inexplicably disappeared into the ether, leaving no trace. As if they never existed.

Can their disappearance be explained by a paranormal hypothesis? I prefer not to know.

The Chad


Ok, I know this is a neckbeardy nickname, but please bear with me.

So this guy comes and helps us with some quests. Then he posts a non deviant quest and I let him be because at that point it was a welcome change of pace. So we helped him trounce a G4 Deviljho in less than 5 minutes (pic related).

Then we proceed to do my Hellblade EX and he is the only one who carts. Not once, but twice in a row.
After that he abandoned the quest and left the room. We failed that quest.

The Most Suave Badass Prowler told me after that "That guy turned out to be the type of player I thought. Luckily for him, I wasn't the host or I would have kicked him as soon as he joined".

Meanwhile, I still felt used after giving him the best 5 minutes of my life.
Where have all the good men gone?, indeed.

The Nice Guy™

I don't think this guy counts as a shitty red crown, but I'll talk about him anyway because he was the only one who behaved like a decent human being.
Yeah... only one in about 11 or 12.

He came inmediately after Chad got away and left me wondering if he was carried by others to his red crown.
By that time I was fed up with red crowns antics, but I still tried to give them another chance because, like a single mother with four kids from four different dads, I just don't learn (let's see how much shit I get for this joke).

So this white knight comes to help m'lady Athena to fight Hellblade EX with his dual blades... and he is the first one to cart in less than 2 minutes.
I was mentally preparing myself to fail the quest and kick him from the room, but he actually never carted again and we cleared Hellblade.
I helped with many lifecrystals too, actually.

He stayed with us some more quests and he seemed like a genuinely nice guy.
But suddenly he left the hub as soon as a G5 Boltreaver quest started (another thing red crowns seem to love to do), leaving three of us once again with our sorry asses.
... well, no. We did great in fact.

Anyway, he seemed to have left the room because he had connection problems, since a message appeared saying he joined the hub again while we were fighting. But he left the hub after 1 minute of waiting or so.

I think we just weren't meant to be.
My only regret is I never managed to tell him it was me, not him.

The overall experience

Quite bad, actually. When they didn't show their little tolerance to frustration, they showed their lack of manners and overall lack of interest in helping.

From now on I will be wary of red crowns joining deviants rooms, since I learned most of them just don't give a shit anymore.
