LFMs that will never fill... [Archive] - Dungeons & Dragons Online Forums

Depends on their defintion of zergers.

While the coal chamber is a quest best rushed thru quickly, it is not one that definetely needs "zerging" to complete. It is quite possible to just go thru it and kill everything along the way.. Just not really worth the resource cost.

As Zerging sometimes implies, everyone for themselves, get to the end as fast as possible without thought for others...

There are groups who run it fast, but are willing to go back for people who die.. Rare groups indeed but you never know.

What's so odd about that one? Just means there was a new player trying to get into a raid they hadn't done before.

When i was a new player and didn't knew all the quests, my static group explored 3 man all the quests we could find.

I just didn't like having guides/spoilers on my first time running a quest.

And we never completed the reaver, but we started to understand the quest. :D Heck it took us something like 7 days to learn all the titan preraid. :( and 5-8 tries the Titan itself.

I just found it funny cause if its your first time why just follow someone instead of experiencing the quest.

And my post in no way was to mock that player or make fun of him if that's what you were thinking.

I prefer taking coal chamber nice and slow. On MORE than one occasion, I have joined a pug where the quest has allready been started and zerged through without killing ANYTHING. First, this makes it impossible for someone joining after the fact to get through, and secondly, the quest has always ended with the lead zerger complaining that he is now dying because of the lag. Well, the lag is caused by the 500 mobs that were left running around that the game is still keeping track of. There is NOTHING wrong with running the quests at a moderate pace and being completed as the developers intended. People still run them that way just fine. We just don't group with YOU. SOME of us still like PLAYING the game and it is not about maxig out every toon as quicly as possible and getting ueber geared up so that we can spend the next 4 months complaining that we are bored now. RELAX. Run some off the quests that are off the beaten path and DON'T p[rovide ueber loot or xp. AND...run them at moderate pace. You MIGHT find you enjoy the game a bit better during the mong waits between mods. Or not.
You do realize that many of the mobs in there respawn? Even if you take your time to kill stuff, a late comer trying to catch up will cause more bats to drop. Unless the late comer takes the time to kill all those bats, there will be more lag. Also, the lag is very much compounded by having more players in the instance. I can run Coalescence Chamber solo without any lag at all. Start bringing party members in though, and yeah you're right, it starts getting extremely laggy if you run by everything.

Last night on Argo I saw a LFM for elite catacombs.
The guy was level 10 and wanted 7-10.

"zergers not welcome" he said.

so, he is too high to get any xp for the quests, and they are 3rd level dungeons.

no zergers.

*** i thought. Is he stupid?

At level 10, you just solo that (unless he was hoping for an elite opener).
It actually goes faster to solo it at that level than wait for 5 other people to run around after each quest to advance it so they don't miss out on the end reward (because those end rewards are so useful!).
Then you have the people that have to go and repair or get their spell points back between each quest.

ARRRGGGHHHH!

Of course, it appears he wasn't interested in speed... so maybe he was just a masochist.

I should prob never try to contradict Ghoste on anything....but I don't think as much stuff respawns as people think.

I think the bats do.....if you step on certain spots...including certain steps up the chambers.

I think Trogs respawn once, triggered by certain quest objectives.

But if you clear them out there is certainly a lot less of them....or if they do respawn it takes a long time.

Anyway, I believe you shouldn't leave people behind in this quest anyway. And if someone falls give him help if needed.
Eliminates a lot of the frustration of running this quest.

When I did it on Elite, we had 4 Rgrs, 1Mnk, And one bored Cleric.
We killed everything, and the Cleric didn't even need to shrine the first time we were there.
We stayed together...didn't rush. And took little damage.

I had always thought that was the way to run this quest, and that group proved it to me.

You guys are wrong, the object of the Coalescence chamber is to get people to die, so you can laugh at them and tell them to reroll untill they get mad at you, blacklist you, tell all your guildee's about you and then cry them selves to sleep while you continue to boost your most hated person favor

Nothing in Coalescence Chamer respawns in the sense it just does it continously no matter what.

There are continous spawn triggers in the quest you can keep hitting to get unlimited monsters, yes. But they can be avoided.

The only continuous respawn triggers are the bats + scorpions, they are triggered by standing on the brown dirt to make noise to wake them up. You can either sneak past this, or jump over it and they won't spawn.

Most everything else in the quest is static - it just litterally has 500+ monsters to start with + up to another X trigger spawns.

Personally if someone is running ahead I highly recommend killing all caster troglodytes only, and perhaps a few select rangers. As these pose only real threat.. The worst part being the dispell. Also no caster troglodyte every respawns or trigger spawns, so killing them all the run time around means no dispells the 2nd run around.

I find it very worthwile to run ahead of the party to kill them, as the number one thing that kills this quest is when some low jump cleric gets his jump spell dispelled and falls to the bottom.

Honestly, many times I find it easier to just kill everything in coal chamber. You kill all the mobs on the first run through, and on the second run through the quest is empty, very easy. And it helps the jumping challanged folks to make it up the shafts if there aren't any mobs around to bug them. Then again, you are talking a 40 minute coal chamber run.....and that isn't for everyone.

But I actually enjoy the jumping in that quest so to me, that's 40 minutes of fun :D

I saw the same thing on Thelanis last night. Truthfully. Its like saying I want to completely overpower this dungeon at a snails pace. Odd. The LFM was up for a LONG time too. In fact, it could have been solo zerged on NHE in the time it took to not fill.

It's pretty much just bats that respawn, depending on how long you take in the quest and how many times you back track.

Takes a lot of patience to kill everything in there. Most people just want to get it over with.

I've had a total of over 1,200 kills in there on my XP log once(when it was new). I nearly ran out of 3k house d sturdy bolts for my repeaters... I don't think you can kill everything in there.

Nope! He simply wants a group that sticks together and plays the game. when you see "no zergers" do not immediately assume it means that these folks are crawling at a snails pace. I have changed my terming from *no zergers* to *team players* because of this fact. Our group moves quickly and efficiently through most quests but we do it together. If someone gets lost we go get them. If someone gets into trouble we are there to provide backup. Even in favor runs we try to work as a team. Granted we may split up but there is a plan and we all know our job. We don't just run off and not tell people what we are doing. to me THAT is zerging. If you are "zerging" together or with a spoken plan then that's "team play". Seems to me that many more folks on Argo desire this type of play but we all put *no zergers* to try to get that and it's not always the right term.

I agree, however when you are doing a favor run on a 2nd/3rd level dungeon with 10th level players.....the idea of ransack, conquest, and optionals (which to me, bypassing is zerging) is rather odd...whether you are a male or female or transgendered. There is no xp and the loot is not any good, and at that level nothing can hit you and you one shot everything. Best to be in range and enjoy the experience. Why not take the 16th levels and do korthos, n/h/e and all the optionals? Makes no sense.

To me, no zergers means you want to enjoy the dungeon and scope it out. Explore and such. For a catacombs elite favor run with high levels that is like shooting yourself in the foot with a fireball wand and then slipping in flammable grease cast by the bard.

I saw that on too, specifying parts "4-8", and noticed it remain up for a couple hours as I pugged other quests. I hope s/he was at least soloing while s/he was waiting.

If I needed the favor I would have joined, as long as "no zerging" meant "don't lose me please" and not "lets get on our hands and knees and crawl this."

"No zerging" does not mean "all optionals". It's more to ask for the group to stay together and avoid running past alive monsters.

Also, I don't see what's wong if some people want to enjoy exploring a quest at their own pace, at a higher level so they don't have to worry about dying or spending resources on it. There's nothing stupid in it. Even if you might think on elite they would know the quest already, maybe they had been trying to catch up with a zerging group on a hard run and did not have time to understand (and enjoy) the quests at all.

I cannot take credit for this post, it was copied off our boards by a guildie, who by the way is an excellent player.

I have to agree with him.

And I'm sure this will get many many flames, so go ahead and flame me, but you know there is truth here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last night, a raid LFM stipulated "Know what you're doing". It was suggested that I join with my cleric, but I made my will saving throw. One cleric from the guild (not me) joined. A little while later:

NF cleric: "I hate PUGs!"
me: "why?"
NF cleric: "They are all doing different things!"

I thought: "but they all know what they're doing, right?" The problem is that they all know different things.

"Know what you're doing" in an LFM means:

1. The leader is impatient and will probably be an ass. The leader doesn't know how to lead or can't be bothered. In effect this group has no leader.

2. The raid will be composed of individual cats who all know that they know what they're doing, so they won't listen to anything anyone says. They all think that they are above average players. Even if the group had a leader, it would be hopeless.

3. There's no way to verify before the raid starts if people really know what they're doing, short of giving quizzes to each player. However, the leader is too impatient to do that (see #1) so it's pointless.

4. Most likely, people who joined this LFM don't understand the above. They either don't understand teamwork, or have been fooled into joining. By my book, they don't know what they're doing .

"Know what you're doing" is a red flag (synonyms: "experienced people only"; "no noobs"). Save yourself grief, and don't join those.
Happy hunting!

Hehehehehe;

Logged on last night in a whimsical mood, and decided to mess with my guildies, so I put up the following LFM;

Looking for my Daddy. His ingame name is Mhyke. I'm 5 years old.

Promptly get a tell from some guy;
Put me on your s**t list,,not funny.

So, I reply;
Why would you care???

And the guy sends this;
Because you said you were 5,,,and I know that's bulls**t,,you're f**ked,,I'm getting DMs,,,you crossed the line a**hole.

:confused::confused::confused::confused:

So; Who do you guys and gals think would've been banned in that senario???? I mean, I WAS using the LFM to get Mhykke and Blah in party.

So; I laughed at the guy, and told him " good luck with that ".

Tour groups follow guides. They can be expected to bring their camera, a slack jaw and an easily opened wallet.

Parties have leaders.

Never join a grp that says "Need guide" especially if it also includes "Need opener". This information was posted there by the guy who voluntarily took the job of party LEADER

If you do, expect to put on your tour guide voice, dont forget to point out the pretty butterflies on the way and expect the party to do nothing but make stupid observations and take pictures.

On a more serious note, I have noticed that it has been much harder to fill groups these says. Even Madstone, Stormcleve, all the big XP ones. There's just no one on and I'm talking prime time (8pm Eastern). 2 months ago, you could fill those in 5 min, now sometimes I have t owait 30+ minutes. I believe that is why people believe in the mass exodus in relationship to something that hasn't arrived yet. Unfortunately I think it's gotten so far, that we may never see groups fill up fast again (unless it's new content of course). if Turbine think Mod 9 will bring back most, they need to hand out some of that good stuff they have.

Low lvl quests....ok.
As long as you don't get mad if no one can open it for you.

High lvl?....
Well, I've seen many groups that honestly weren't ready for Elite. And it made for a bad experiance for all.

Then there was the group I did my Elite Shroud run on.
They gave every melee the third degree about what weapons they had, and whether they thought the guy was up to doing Elite or not.
Then I find out that my char was the only one who could open Elite.

It's just my opinion, but I think if you can't open it, you're not ready for it.
A general rule.....

Given the wait and delay, it makes perfect sense for people who have played a lot to take a break. However, when MOD 9 eventually comes, players who left are going to check it out. We finally get level 20, they are going to ask how cool it is. If people like other games better, fine. If MOD 9 is lame, fine. But to say, regardless of how cool MOD 9 is, those that liked DDO better than other games will never come back because MOD 9 took too long is assuming those that left are really, really stupid.

Then I find out that my char was the only one who could open Elite.

It's just my opinion, but I think if you can't open it, you're not ready for it.
A general rule.....
That's pretty funny. And of course just because someone can open on elite doesn't mean they're necessarily ready. Not saying this is true of you, but I'm pretty sure there are plenty of folks who got hand-held through elite, and so have no meaningful recollection of the quest/raid at all.

There's still some truth in that.

It's possible that someone is just too mad at Turbine for the delay that they will either never come back or will delay their comeback to much later.

Yeah.
It all depends really. An experianced player on an alt who ust doesn't have elite on that char yet. A raid where you have so many people you can get by with a few who aren't really ready.

I certainly got completions in many quests where I was fighting just to keep up, with no idea what was going on.

It's just funny to me sometimes. When people insist in doing elite and they definately aren't ready.

What's the quest with Haywire, to the left of the pyramid in House K...the one in the black anvil forest and all the traps.. Made to Order maybe?
Do that one even with a high lvl group, that thinks they are on an easy favor run and they try Elite (where only one guy has ever done it before).
It's almost comical. (If you're not the cleric anyway).

Which meshes nicely with the situation where a player quits a party in a huff because no one can open elite (which includes him). I do, however, agree with someone's suggestion that if your character's level is equal to or greater than the quest level on elite, you should be able to open elite even if you have not done hard.

What about being the first to join and the star says:

You know where this quest is?

A running joke among some of my friends any time we run Prey on the Hunter is that when a PUGer joins, we say "we're taking this slow. No zerging or anything, ok?" Most people instantly recognize the joke and laugh or say "uh...well...this quest is kinda SUPPOSED to be zerged."

A few weeks ago, I actually saw that LFM. Prey on the Hunter: No zerging. Ouch.

Ghallanda has a certain player who puts the SAME info in every LFM he posts, regardless of level or quest: "No tards, no kids, noone who talks too much." I think it's funny that his groups can take hours to fill but he insists on using that on every quest.

What's funnier is that when he does put up an LFM, people are now putting up competing LFMs that say "No short people. No fat people. No tall people. No skinny people. No nice people. No mean people." hehe.

I guess that's one way to stay busy until Mod 9 comes out, although they might have to rush a bit at the end to finish in time for the release:)

Heheh....I have seen that. I wanted to make a new character named Loquacious and join the LFM just to see if he would accept. But I think the joke would go over his head.
