>poopsocking is a real term MMO players use
>>730975725German MMO players call alts twinks.
>>730975753only germans?
>>730975753They might have started it, but it's a common term now.
>>730975753Twink was used in WoW to describe level 19/29/39 locked PvP characters. I don't know if it's still used.
>>730975831never played wow, why would you do that? noob stomping?
>>730975769>>730975823>>730975831Outside of Germans I have only heard the term as "twinked out", but I have never heard someone refer to their alts as their "twinks", unless it was German.
>>730975725are raccoons real?
>>730975725they don't just use the term, anon
>>730975876Originally, yeah, getting the best gears/enchants/skills to get free wins. Then they made it so that gear levels better matched other players, so when those players started fighting each other, they mysteriously stopped playing overnight.
I remember back in EverQuest when we were in the Plane of Nightmare we had a female raid leader that had a vibrator on to make sure she didn't fall asleep as we made our way to the hedge maze to meet Terris Thule.We ended up pulling every time she climaxed and came to her senses for a bit. It sounds like it'd be sexy but it'd a little awkward as we all watched her afk for a minute before springing back to life every once in a while.
>>730975725Well what does it mean?
>>730975725Poopsocking doesn't have much relevance these days since most MMOs have like an anti-grind mindset, which is good and bad for various reasons.
>>730975753and they call poopsocks bratwurst
>>730976151Well, what do you think?
>>730975725I'm confused how people don't know these terms anymore, and I wasn't even hard into MMOs>>730976025Anon that's common as fuck terminology everywhere for 20 years at least
>>730976151eating american 'food' like hotdogs while gaming
>>730976121kek that sounds so fucking lame, thanks
>>730976151nolifing the gamegoing beyond pissing in bottles and evolving to pooping in socks
yeah when you're in your late 20s playing an mmo you really like to play up the "hehe im such a loser nolifer doing this xD" gagbut no matter how hard you try, you never get teleported back to that feeling you had when you were 12 playing an mmo for the first time
Cum sock is a real term gooners use
>>730975831I've heard people use twink in Dark Souls, for people invading in low level areas with end-game gear
>>730976143anon...you got groomed
>>730976507i know it from lol from back in the day, you create a new account and curbstomp some new player for a laugh
>>730976250>Anon that's common as fuck terminology everywhere for 20 years at leastAnglos laughed at me when I said "twink" instead of alt.Twink is usually used for alts that get boosted with the main's money. Like lvl 19 PvP twinks or in Path of Exile when you have farmed a lot with one character and can realize expensive builds from the get-go.
>not even the already-nanoscopic decency to shit in a bucket, but a sock
>>730975725pooping in a sock is retarded. Use a plastic chinese takeout bag
>>730976662>he never tried to sit on a bucket when the lit was off
>>730976607I've heard that term used countless times over the years, and it never clicked until reading your post. That's fucking hilarious.
GO TO THE BATHROOM
>>730976712or a toilet. or a hole in the ground. why mess around with these inferior methods
>>730975876it was also the max level cutoff for battlegrounds.only one i ever made was level 10 as i found an workaround that ratings didn't scale properly at extremely low levels and used counterweight on a 2 handed weapon to get a hunter with 200% attack speed and whatever gear and enchantments that didn't have level restrictions.you could also get a poverty legendary from one of the expansions, forgot which and while the weapon was scaled down the enhancement items you could slot into it were not.it could trivially kill level 40 players and aside from being squashy heavily out damaged level 19 twinks in battlegrounds though the hunter pet was worthless.i recall the time i messed around with that dungeons also scaled to your level and you did percentage damage to enemies, this allowed me to pretty much solo bosses in 5 man dungeons but they eventually fixed it.
The sock is just used to wipe your butt, right?
>>730976773you can use it to wipe and then just throw it out the window
>>730976507yeah, I remember that tootwinking
i would play on a laptop on a toiler over a stream before i "poopsocked" that's disgusting
>>730976732So you shit in a fucking SOCK? I'd blast my ass fondue everywhere trying that.
>millennials
2006 was twenty years ago.
>>730976916eat more faiberrrrr and drink more waddurrr
>>730976507well yeah, because the concept is basically identical to twinking in WoW. Its easy to forget now because of how far its fallen, but WoW was pretty influential, when Dark Souls came out people still played WoW.
>>730976121>Then they made it so that gear levels better matched other playersNah originally PVP didn't give exp so you could just level to 19 and be a miserable cunt in WSG as much as you want. At first they tried to nerf it by adding more restrictions to higher level enchants but it didn't even come close to working so eventually they picked the nuclear option and made BGs give exp so you'd inevitably outlevel the bracket. They did add an option to lock your EXP to stay in a single bracket forever, but you only play against other players that did that so the scene is completely dead because twinks don't actually want to fight other twinks.It was probably one of the only actually good decisions blizzard ever actually made for the health of the game's community. You can still kind of twink by funneling gear into new characters and just making a new one when you inevitably outlevel the bracket you want to be a cunt in, but it's more work and it isn't even half as bad as when people could make absolutely full BiS characters.
>>730976916i'm just spitballing here to be honest but id reckon real nolife mmo addicts have constipation rather than diarrhoea even with a complete absence of fiber, maybe its more like an imprompto glove and they 'manually support' the process
>>730976989Dark souls came out during cataclysm so a lot already started to quit, wotlk was the peak and cata was the cliff
>>730976607The twink thing was at least a thing since 2007 runescape, where your highly optimized combat/wildy alts were called "twinks" because they were stronger than their low levels would seem and could destroy lower level players with little penalties
>>730977153Cata was the expansion that was so bad it motivated people to ask cor Classic servers after all.
>>730976772Not yet
>>730977370GO TO THE BATHROOM AND TAKE A SHIT I CAN SMELL YOU SHITTING YOURSELF
>>730977163In Runescape characters like those were called pures. Like you'd make a character that had 99 strength but 1 defence and 1 attack and as low HP as possible so you'd have an overall combat level low enough to fight people that might only have like 30 in all those stats instead. People did that even back in Runescape Classic.There were a bunch of gimmicky pures too, it wasn't all just being a complete soulless faggot like twinking in WoW. I had a defence pure back in the day because I managed to get a dragonfire shield and you could use it to one shot people with low HP with a lot of setup, it was really funny.
Back when Runescape still had that ridiculous 30 second inactivity logout timer I'd used to SPRINT from the computer to the upstairs bathroom to piss like a racehorse and quickly get back to the computer before I'd get logged out. Doing that several times a day for half my childhood is probably why I never got fat.
>>730979445>ridiculous 30 second inactivity logout timerThere's no way that was a thing. An alien must've thought that was a good idea.
>>730975725>poopsockingmom found the poop sock
>>730980046It might have been 60 seconds. Still really fucking short. The timer didn't start your actual character was idle and out of combat so it's not like you actually had to obsessively babysit the game to stay logged in while chopping wood or whatever, but if you went AFK your ass was getting logged out. I don't remember when exactly they raised the timer but it was like that for quite a long time. I know it's like 15 minutes in OSRS now which is almost ridiculous compared to what I was used to doing.
How do you poop in a sock? What's the method?
>>730980643the same way you usually poop. out of your ass
>>730980721how do you poop without pissing everywhere also? are you people cats?
>>730980878most people can only do one or the other not both at the same time
>>730976607The term twink was used in EQ and at the time I understood it to mean twinkie - tougher on the outside than the inside - outperforms level via gear. The sexual connotation just wasn't there for us underaged heteros.
>>730975725Never understood it. Raid progress can NOT be that serious that taking a 5 minute break is meaningfully impactful.
>>730975725I chairshit because I'm not a fucking coward
>>730976507high skilled players on sock accounts vs low skilled newbies was always called smurfing
>>730981178even if you know it is why not shit BEFORE the raid if its that dammed important
>>730981261meant to reply to >>730976594
>>730981178I think poopsocking in EQ was more of a XP camping group thing. You didn't want to be AFK when mobs were respawning and your group needed you to help kill them, and you could be doing that for hours in extremely dangerous areas that you really can't just up and leave easily.
What is Poopsocking?
>>730975753As a kraut imagine my shock when I learned twinks are called alts by non krauts. I thought twinks was an international mmo term since it’s not even a German word
>>730975753People used it regularly in Anarchy Online but in AO was a term for characters that were equipped with gear way above what their base stats would normally allow through a head spinning process that required sheer autism and sometimes a trader (traders get buff skills that greatly buff party members stats and shit, usually for extended periods of time) on standby to buff them up before combat so they could actually use their weapons and shit.
>>730977163Twink was the WoW term.Runescape used the term Pures, for optimised stat/item characters.
>>730975831and 49 bracket too, back in the day.>>730976025>>730975753a twink is a low level character that has BiS or near BiS gear, usually handed down by a higher level, for example in WoW most level 19-25 weapons would sell for 4-25 gold, but a lvl 19 dagger for twinks might sell for 300g, and so someone would buy it and put it on a low level then spend another 100g on an enchant for it. So they spend about as much as what you would upgrading a level 60 item for their level 19, then they would spend a bunch upgrading and enchanting the rest of their gear. Their weapon alone would probably be worth more than 10 times other level 19s entire gear sets, so they would go to the battlegrounds to kill people who arent twinks and are just trying to get early honor for trinket or mount discount.
>>730983975playing so much (like 16 hours a day) you neglect real life responsibilities, the joke is you are so glued to the computer you poop in a sock instead of walking to the bathroom
>>730976939Is Adderall really a miracle cure for being an unmotivated, undisciplined lazy fucktard? I feel like I have undiagnosed ADHD or some shit and that that's what I've always been fighting, but I'm scared to try and find out now because I'm already almost 33 and feel like I've long passed my windows to take advantage of it for my dream solo game dev ambition. However I'm also a depressed and neurotic mess who can get kinda angry sometimes and I'm worried it would agitate all that?I could google but against all sensible judgement I trust you faggots more.
>>730976203I imagine it has to with a particular build. Like how a glasscannon is a build that minmaxxes damage at the expense of defense, a poopsock could refer to builds that don't necessarily pose a huge threat, but are really annoying to fight, figuratively like a person wielding a sock full of poop. A scraping spear build in Demon's Souls for example. Even if you win, you're still covered in shit.
Poopsocking is a real thing MMO players do.
Is it a joke? Everyone knows you poop in a plastic bag and then squeeze it into a jug, or as most gamers call it a poopjug
>>730985752*shitjug
I doubt people actually poopsock now. Back then people wanted to discover just about everything about the game, so they can let others know. Now everything can be found out months in advance because of datamining.
>>730975725>t. poopsocker
>>730976151it means you poop in fucking socks, you fucking retarded ESL nigger
>>730976250>I'm confused how people don't know these terms anymorezoomers don't know shit about fuckall
>>730976772poopsockers can't afford to go to the bathroom, otherwise they will miss the boss spawn/their raid/their e-girlfriend(male) logging onto discord
>>730980878>are you people cats?he doesn't know
>>730975753IsoARPG players use this term for having great gear on a fresh character (e.g. your end game character prepares a bunch of BiS gear for a reroll character to just breeze through).>I'm grinding up my twink gear for my reroll
>>730975753My understanding is that a twink is an overgeared for it's level character at the maximum level for its bracket in some sort of multiplayer content, meaning it can repeatedly easily win against normally geared characters, especially if they're on the lower end of the level range.
>>730987887I'm glad this stupid fucking era is dying off. Cripes and they'll pretend it never happened or wasn't as bad as everyone recalls.
do you think he poopsocked?
>>730975725normalfaggot
>>730976662A bucket isn't poop shaped for convenience
>>730975831It's used in other games, Poe and dark souls are both ones that come to mind. Poe twinking exists purely to get through campaign fast, while dark souls is for a player that goes through the game under leveled in order to get late game spells, weapons and rings early in order to have an advantage in pvp invasions,
>>730985890Very few mmos would warrant poopsocking anyways, lots of them go the route of having finite spikes of progression via dailies and weeklies, which is much more lenient than if it had constant potential for progressionSome gachas could be poopsockable, some of them have brutal leaderboard grinding
>>730975753
even though it seems stupid im pretty poopsocking meant wiping with a sock not shitting in one
>>730975725Sometimes sweaty tryhard just falls way to short of the mark.
>>730975725That image brings back nostalgia>Raiding Nax in original WOTLK>DPS "brb hear racoons again">Never comes back>Guild rumor he died to skin walker since we knew he lived in the booniesI always wondered what happened to him exactly
>>730989793Man, disappearances like that are so strange, the way they pile up over the most vague of circumstance.
>>730975831I remember playing BC at release with some one asking I was a twink. I think the term originated in WoW
>>730985667I was in the first or second grade when they put me on that shit. Don't get me wrong it does exactly as advertised by making you hyper focused one one task and you don't stop until its done. The issue there is multi-tasking is harder as you just want to do the one thing an then move to the the next but if you handle it right you are a fucking machine.However, it destroyed my appetite and killed motivation for running and playing. Major muscle loss and given an anorexic frame leaving me with a horrifically low calorie intake. When it finally wore off I was hungry as hell but it was too late to eat as dinner was long passed and we didn't have snacks.By the time I hit 5th grade I was an underweight child with fantastic grades and a work ethic as sharp as a tack.But it was killing my body and my mom told the school system that told her I had to be on it to fuck off before I die.The real downside was now that I was off it I never naturally built the mind for it and was drugged into working and never recovered becoming an incredibly lazy person that can't build motivation for shit all into my now 30+ years of age.Seriously considering getting back on it so I can get that feeling of "functionality" again.= but fuck me I still remember having to take steroids to get my metabolism back in shape as that also dipped.Take from me. It CAN work. But be really fucking careful.
>>730981178MMO worlds were dangerous once.
>>730975725Well pissbottling doesn't roll off the tongue quite the same way.
>>730975831In Everquest it was alts with equipment well beyond what they should have for their level. Like giving a level 5 cleric raid gear or something.
>>730990098I still can't believe they normalized giving children amphetamines for being children.
>>730975753>Germandamn today i learned that everyone is German.
>>730975753in path of exile "twinking" or "twink leveling" means having a strong character and buying/crafting bis gear for every level breakpointso you have bis gear from level 1-25, 25-40, 40-65, 65-80and then swap off that gear to build your actual characteressentially being so powerful you 1 shot everything and can get to end game in a fraction of the time.
>>730990098There's gotta be something more mild on your body and mind.
>>730991270Ritalin is softer since it's a dopamine reuptake inhibitor rather than an agonist.
>>730985667Follow your dream anon. You are still young.
>>730975753Twinking is a term from way back in the before times. In the long long ago, likely before your parents were born, gear in MMOs and MUDs often had no level requirements because that shit is for faggots so a twink was an alt all decked out in ridiculously powerful gear fed to them from your main.
Why 'twink' though, like what does a young slim gay man have to do with low level characters equipped with BiS gear?
>>730991934The act of twinking is really gay
Poopsocking doesn't exist anymore everyone is a casualfag or weekend dad. Even Everquest is full of welfare loot lining up whiners who can't handle a corpse run, open world competition, and demand instances to mudflate the servers at 10,000x speed until everyone has BIS and there is no challange. I miss MMOS but modern casual pussies have absolutely destroyed them to the point the worlds aren't interesting, mysterious, or most importantly scary to go into a dungeon for.
>>730975725what does it mean?
>>730991934because you're acting like a little faggot.
>>730993887It means pooping in a sock. It is not code for anything but is often used an an exaggeration. Infamous Everquest raiders actually pooped in socks to avoid leaving the PC.
>>730990285"Pissjugging" has a nice ring to it imo.
>>730993671I wouldn't want to play a game that wastes my time that much anyway, you should be able to play a game 2 hours a day and get everything out of it.
>>730993887It just means marathoning or playing at high intensity for an extended period of time, with the implication (meant humourously but with the ring of truth) that it involves neglecting irl functions like eating, sleeping and personal hygiene. Need to shit but you want to spend the minimum amount of time not engaged with the raid? Just grab a nearby sock and poop into it.
>>730993887piss goes into a bottlepoop goes into a sock
>>730989740AO probably had the craziest twinking scene with the implant shenanigansI wonder if Project Rubi Ka really takes off
>>730975725brb gonna poopsock before replying to this
>>730994195Good, not every game has to be for you. Go back to WoW clones and leave us to our niche games Tigole stole the concepts from to regurgitate to you. All you want in a demographic research panel is participation trophies, partialism cosmetics, and buying your way out of everything. What boring games. We need the Rust zero sum games of MMOs like Conquer Online and Everquest back.
>>730975831Yeah, this. A "twink" is an underleveled alt equipped with uncommonly strong gear specifically to do PVP at certain level ranges. Because it wipes the floor with ordinary players at that level range and has a different metagame compared to maxed characters. More broadly the term would mean a character that's purposely gimped but has overpowered gear. If Germans are calling every alt a twink then they're just misusing the term.
>>730994494You aren't getting anything back, at least not from the big developers. The best you can hope for is some 2D indie crap that might as well have been released in the 90s.
>>730994618I'm just going to hope locally hosted gen AI can generate an entire MMO eventually, including the other players, and simulate casuals burning in pits of tar for eternity where they belong. You're right though, the retard demographic wrote off everything once they could get online and not have to solve the 90's era IQ captcha for an IRQ conflict to be worthy of playing something actually creative and fun.
>>730994404>brbamateur poopsocker
>>730994686Damn right you'll have to simulate other players because real players wouldn't touch that grindy-ass shit. Maybe you'll find someone in the retirement home that are senile enough to play it with you, at least you've got that to look forward to.
Only ever heard myths and legends of people poopsocking. pissing in bottles was far more common back then and is probably still practised today.
>>730994889Pissing in bottles and pouring it out the window to make your house smell like piss is an excellent tactic to ward off femoids
>>730980046>>730980409it was 60 seconds. it got buffed sometime after gem bolts were added to the game because fletching an entire inventory of gem tips took longer than 1 minute
>>730991934>young>low levelthats it
