LF core players

[Zergio]

I am here looking to sink my claws into the depths of our DDO community. Here is the mess.


Insectoids, fans of LEX, Starcraft, late night gamers, elitism, haters, players & you, I have a proposal, and it's just for you.

Please send me some mail if your interested in participating in something new.
You know who you are.

[Vhlad]

How many hardcore starcraft players even play DDO?

I just know of myself and Dryth.

DDO used to be more twitch based with respect to melee combat (strafing to increase swing rate, hotbar weapon swapping for continous fire of repeaters, or hotbar clicking for continous swing rate (which I did WHILE moving ><)

But after they added delays and nerfed swing rate while strafing (and reduced ease at which you could even register a hit on a mob while moving) I started to get sleepy while playing (i.e. not enough actions per minute in the game).

I can cope now via playing while drunk instead of playing while highly caffeinated, but I can't wait for starcraft II to satisfy my twitch desires and propel me to carpal tunnel extacy.

[JFeenstra]

i used to play starcraft/warcraft 2 hardcore...i beta tested both games :)

i used to play starcraft/warcraft 2 hardcore...i beta tested both games :)

warcraft 3 beta was FUN. You used to be able to load musketmen inside the steam tanks (and they could still shoot), and the steam tanks were totally different. The all mighty steam tank army with 4 musketmen in each one and a pile of peasants to repair was unstoppable!

I was never big on warcraft I/II/III for multiplayer though. SC ftw

[JFeenstra]

wc3 is what i ment, not 2...and yeah, that was a fun bug :D

hopefully i can get in on the SC 2 beta...

[Zergio]

Ok guys, heres a bit of the lowdown. What I'd like to see started is a guild swarm in our own server. The concept is taking from the insectiods race from startrek. We are on Thelanis now boys, lets do it. Also the guild focuses on zerging and mainly solo capable builds., What I mean by this is having a guild of players all playing the same builds, these builds will be high end builds based on speed and dps and also little twitch tactics. More focus on the dps and speed though. I'm starting to work on a build here it could be the main unit in the swarm for awhile.

For example:
The Hydralisk. The Hydralisk is a high dps tempest build.

[JFeenstra]

wait...you want everyone in the guild playing the exact same build? that doesn't make much sense

[Clay]

not just the same build...


HIS build.

:D

There are already guilds that focus on zerging... I am in one :cool:

[Whulffer]

Nah Clay, it wouldn't my build, but a build thats bveen worked on by other ppl on the forum and who get involved. Not my build because no-one can own a build, ppl can only expereince a build, so this is the offer to experience zerging with otehrs who have the same exact build or two.

So the swarm will be very team oriented since we are all experiencing and working with the same sort of material playing together! On a regular basis for flavor and for fun it is based of zZergs. I know, i am already in a guildalso where we might as well be called zergers Clay, but this is for flavor and to try something new different, ubers and cool. Maybe we can meet some new ppl too. How do you think about this idea now Clay? Maybe you can share your opinions of the build that would be one of the main choices for play, it is in the ranger build discussion forum under the title Hydralisk.

Yup... sounds like Legion.

One guild, one mindset... Kill, Kill, Kill, Win, Win, Win, as fast as possible.

Doesn't matter what the build is, it's the player. I've seen Clerics, Rogues, Etc., in our guild completely dominate quests that are normally, primarily dominated by Tanks.

It's not about the build, it's about the mindset.

[JFeenstra]

exactly...

kill everything necessary as fast as possible, loot chests, repeat

there's several guilds that do this already

Really?

I only know of a few that are like this...

Legion, Storm Lords, GSI, Reapers...

What other guilds are big and strong enough, and have a level of parity - by member in the guild that fit this model?

If you know, list them, perhaps the OP can look to join one of those guild; one that allows for petition for membership.

Only problem with those I listed, I am pretty sure they are all very selective about who they recruit, which would prolly let them out for the OP.

several simply means more than one

you listed 4, that's several :)

i know there's a couple other guilds that are decent zergers too, just can't remember off hand who they are (I haven't pugged in a while)

[Whulffer]

Mispost. Looks like fun.

C'mon now, Indago's been zerging away since day 1.
Granted, we are not super elitist with who we recruit, and we will take friends of friends and the occasional new player every now and then, and as such we have *some* people who are not crazy speed runners, but if you want to reminisce a little..

Granted, most of the guys in that ghost run are in Legions now, but Indago's core raiders remain. Nearly everyone has pre-ordered AoC though, so how long we remain... remains to be seen. O_O

[Coldin]

GSI are zergers? That's news to me. ;)

[Murgatroyd]

PUG a little more...open your horizons, there's quite a few guilds that have this mindset ;)

[Ministry]

PUG a little more...open your horizons, there's quite a few guilds that have this mindset ;)

Okay... to the 3 posts above this one...

1 - Coldin - Okay, it is true that GSI are not necessarily "always" zergers, but as a guild and to a player, they are more than capable of it and do, do so on occasions... and you know it... ;)

2 - Don't tell me to PUG more... for the love of &^$&#37;#&... I just pretty much pugged my new cleric to level 11 and it took me 3 weeks and it was HORRORAWFUL!!! --- Most of the people I ran with did not or could not afford pots, so it cost me about 100K plat to get to this level... But, I'm sure you mean to pug at the higher levels. Yea, I've tried... honestly I have. Now, I'm not saying there aren't a number of very good to excellent guilds out there, what I'm saying is from my personal experience (or from friends that I have spoken with) they are not necessarilly into zerging the toughest quests and raids at all, or on a regular basis. I know for one, on a number of occasions our peeps are timing quests and looking for ways to constantly make them go faster and better.

3 - Vlad / Sair - No disrespect intended by leaving Indago off my list, a guild who I've always had good experiences running with (well... only been a few times), but again, as I stated in point 2... my intent was to point out that it is obvious that certain guilds focus on completing the toughest raids / quests on a regular basis and focus time, resources, energy, etc. on mastering them and becoming more efficient each time they run. I know the leaders and / or officers of the guilds I listed had the Shroud down to a science within the first day or 2 after release.

And... as for AOC, yup we are going to lose some people to that as well... perhaps for a short period or forever, but at this point it is only speculation.

Anyways, I'm sure that there are other guilds that would suit the OP, especially a guild like Indago who has an excellent and solid core, and looks like may consider someone newer to the game / server.

[Coldin]

1 - Coldin - Okay, it is true that GSI are not necessarily "always" zergers, but as a guild and to a player, they are more than capable of it and do, do so on occasions... and you know it...

Well, I suppose that just goes more with the fact that once you reach a certain skill level in the game and you've done every quest dozens of times, you just naturally start to zerg everywhere. :)

[Ministry]

Defintely, but mostly because of the skill level.

Day 1 of Mod 6 / Shroud... Kyrian, Aislyn, Mysty, Jundak, me and a few others in the Vale, flagged twice for the Shroud and averaging 15-45 (Coalescense - because of me falling over and over again) minutes per flagging quest and then Kyrian, Aislyn and me entering the Shroud part 1 to see what it's all about within hours of the release and no previous knowledge or experience with the raid, hoping the 3 of us could finish it... haha

Oh yea... add kahunas to the list of required attributes...

;)

[Murgatroyd]

Horrorawful...I like that.

I started a lowbie last week and I've only PUG'ed once and it wasn't a good experience. Needless to say, it might take me a while to level her :)

There's only one way that I won't zerg...if it's new content it's the first time the group runs it. I remember my first Devils run was about 45 minutes, and now with some guildies we can 3-man it in about 12 minutes.

if 50&#37; of the people that think they are great were great....pugville in Thelanis would be nothing but roses..see complaints above.... as far as shroud goes-------->
its nothing but a 55-65 min chest run x2 nightly. In general its pretty easy to get 12 common players together and smoke threw it 2 times every night.... heres to new content.... at the end of the day it seems ... tharashk guilds pug tharashk players...xoriat searches for old xoriat familiar toons to pug....and well dont really know anything about the role players from thelanis...cause i dont visit the harbor for more than about 24 hours per toon.... at the end of the day at this point its all about the Large ING... **** those L horns for the moment anyway

there are very good guilds out there that run elite with breeze and ease...they just dont post about it all day...from all servers that now sit on Thelanis....and those that did post about it all day...well I actually do miss those posts and players on here... see ya in game

Hey there Jr. P, I played with you a couple weeks ago on my gimpy rogue Foxtot. It was nice to meet you! I think you have a great point about the PUG groups looking for their own at first... I hardly pug lately but it's to the point when I do, I don't know who is from where :) Most of the time if I use my spidey-sense I just check the guild tag and can use my awesome powers of deduction.

No offense to anyone, but I would love to get rid of the notion that all of us Thelanis-born are RP die-hards. I am... not... an RPer. It's not the majority, it's fine and I have some great friends who love the RP scene on the server, but that's not where most of us come from. We lived pretty well before the merge, and since, I guess. People were supportive of each other no matter what they liked to spend their game time doing. But just ask me sometime about my first experience with pen and paper D & D if you want to know my feelings on role playing... lol. However, I realize it's become something of just an inside joke sorta thing and the rest of non-RPing, quest-tearing-up, butterfly eating (did I say eating? I meant hating) Thelanis won't be able to shake it... :)

Well said. Size does not equal power or skill. There are plenty of great and "uber" players out there.

[Ministry]

OMG... I so hate this stOOpid timeout thingy...

I wrote this long diatribe about how we are all great players in great guilds... and blah, blah, blah... but the stOOpid app timed out and wouldn't let me log back in or go back and retrieve my post...

ARGH!!!

I'm going to try pugging even more to learn more about the other guilds I don't team as much with... so if anyone is interested in letting me see first hand, prolly send a tell to me on my new toon - Mistayke - 11 Cleric and I can switch to whatever toon is needed.

Thanks.

oh come on, we all know i'm a terrible player :D

dont really know what role playing would be?? have not ever clicked on the lfm requesting role players.... but if its killing fast, elite runs with lots of chests ...I want in :) LOL..now let me sit in traffic for 60 minutes ...get my kids some great dinner and go plow threw the shroud a couple times

Well now that I'm here. I hate to make another enemy :D.

But i think you cant convince Minstry of anything, even tho he is eating half his words, by calling certain guilds zergers, and those guilds saying they are not zergers, and other guilds coming up and saying they zerg.. ohh boy.

I think a problem is some ppl want to think they are special and think they are the only ones who zerg and farm, and bury themselves in the dark to maintain this belief. I lvl characters to 16 sometimes pugging in the tiem of a week regularly, if ti takes you longer it's not the publics fault. I think there are dozens of guilds who zerg, and farm most regularly.

Ummm... you want to make an enemy... just say so... I have many and would love another.

Eating words??? Don't think so...

I know very many of the guilds on the server and have run a number of times with many of them, so when I state my opinion of them, it is based on that experience and that of the people I chat with.

All I was hoping for was to put my experiences / knowledge down here to help the OP, and hoped others might do the same.

Perhaps there are more guilds that are big time zergers, farmers, etc. that are not as publicly known for it and there are others that do the same, but don't consider themselves that way, but that is not the issue.

If you know of some, or others know of some and want to help the OP out, then great... if not... get off and game.

If you want to make enemies... it's easy... I do it all the time.

[sigtrent]

There is definately a rage of players and types. I can't say I've ever played in a guild group that really zerged the super hard core way. I think they tend to play with themselves as pugging a timed zerg run is probably just counter productive.

I have been in some pugs that zerged quite nicely and even my very very casual guild get's up to some zergin on occasion.

In high to mid level pug land I'd say I see 3 classes of folks...

The Experts: They know their stuff, they know the quests and they get it done quick and easy.

The Decent: They are solid if not especialy impressive. They do better taking the quest slow and deliberate but can be relied on.

The Baggage: Folks that somehow havn't quite clued in that the way they play isn't working to well. They arn't hopeless or they wouldn't be that level but generaly the party is mostly carrying them on their back. Often they are nice folks, just for whatever reason they havn't paid close attention to what actualy works well in DDO and what doesn't.

I imagine from the forumns there is a mystical 4th group, but I just don't see them much in my travels.

The DDO Gods: They can solo elite quests and raids in minutes flat and put to shame any who they group with unless they too are dungeon gods.

Either these folks just keep to their guids (quite possible), are simply doing quests I don't often do (also quite possible) or they don't really exist and there is a bit more hot air than substance to some of them (probably at least a little bit true), of finaly they may not be all that much different from Experts when they arn't challenging themselves (the most likely explination I imagine.)

[JFeenstra]

of course, me and xorm share the same philosophy regarding questing...it's easier to afk while my stone gets carried to the chests, rez, get loot, die again, repeat :)

i think there is a fifth group which i am apart of they aere called the jesters: can play elite but they don't they love torture and torment of others. i love to sit there and watch a mob dance also love to charm monsters and let them battle to the death like a battle arena muahahaha. the jesters also prank many people such as dispell fighters when they are about to challenge a mummy, go into grease hallways before a major battle. feeblemind beholders or mindflayers and just watch them try to use there attacks, if you want more ideas just ask but i think most of you know how twisted i get in this game

Oh... you have to hear about the pug I was on last night in TS, where the wizard that was leading the party instructed people to leave any extra loot / treasure they didn't want to the other cleric by name. I was like... umm... umm...

More Legion hatred I tell ya.

Scars added the turnip to our "love" list... ;)

It was so funny, because "the" cleric (I say "the", because I was obviously not very good???) sent me a pvt tell apologizing. I was like... um... not your fault, it's that stOOpid &#37;#%%$ wizzy that has raised my ire... etc... etc... Yea, he sends me a couple of tells trying to legitimize / apologize because he was trying to help the other cleric - his RL wife. I didn't respond because I just didn't feel like being me. I felt like telling him who I was (alts) and about our guild, but thought nah... he was prolly on his first toon and was in a nothing guild, so it just would have been a waste of time. I'll catch up with him if he ever gets to the higher levels and remind him of his little mistake he made regarding my little alt named Mistayke.

I was gonna jump in that TS group last night...looked at the party mix and just didnt see much tankage... my cleric just didnt want the 9k xp that bad...maybe I was wrong but it had the look of a nightmare mix...no idea who the others in there were maybe all great players but usually I like to be familiar with 1 or 2 toons before jumping in the midnight TS run

Man, I've been so desperate trying to get my cleric to 13... been 3 weeks now... mostly on him than my other toons. It has caused me too much time and resources and hair from pulling out of my head.

I'm sure we all started as incapable as a lot of these newer players, but that is not what bothers me all that much.

What bothers me the most is when players have been playing for a while at least (level 10+ on avg) and don't know what they are doing and don't say anything until it's too late.

Oh hang on, it's the ignorant players who think the world completely revolves around them and don't realize how tight this server is becoming... yea, that's what bothers me most.

Oh no, it's many of my friends and excellent players that are now bored or frustrated with DDO and leaving for other games, while we backfill with these... you know... say it JRP...

;)

I just can't hope enough that wizzy (muppet) gets to level 15 or 16 and happens to get onto a team I'm on, or better still, tries to join one... haha

Yeah I agree with Clay, you should have powerleveled with us along the way :) He does have a way of making it so much more of a breeze. Then you get such a slap in the face reality check when you pug otherwise lol.

Yea, I teamed with Clay and we did a 1/2 Legion group and then a full Legion group... did Crucible and Madstone hard in about an hour total time and picked up about 60K xp.

But yup... that's the problem. Then we all split up and pug again and it takes 3 days of playing to get that kinda xp.

:(

I complain about pugging... but every once in a while you find a decent player or two out there and it makes in worthwhile... well... sorta.

Makes me think of when I was leveling my ranger. A bunch of us BoSS members decided to farm xp. We had room for a cleric, so we pugged one. After 2 hours of running in Gianthold (Madstone once, Crucible a bunch of times) we all had accumulated 80k+ xp. The cleric had a good laugh and said that it had taken her a few days to get her previous level and in the 2 hours we were grouped she had almost gotten her next one.
