Love this game. Quick background, used to play PnP D&D, tried f2p in November and went vip 2 weeks later. Since then I have a L17 and a L14 toon. I read these boards, ask questions and absorb what I can. I play almost exclusively in PUGs, so you take it as it comes but D&D was meant to be played in a group and sometimes they are good sometimes they are bad. Sure, I've learned things through playing in these, I can read a post everyday or be in a group on any given day and learn something new. I've read posts about min/maxing things and what stacks with what. You pick some of it up and some you just can't frankly, understand. Preamble done.
What I am wondering is if new players like me, no make that me - I would like to group with some of you veterans for a couple hours. Even one quest a week would be extremely helpful, and like the song (come on who doesn't like My Wonderwall?) says maybe if you're burned out on the game, in those hours they might give you the thrill of gaming back. I'm not asking for a guide or items or anything like that. I would just like to run in a veteran group where I can run with some pros who aren't zerging through something and discussions can be had why this was a good buff in this situation and why you need this equipment for that situation. I guess what I'm saying is that I would really like the chance to experience in game time a lot of what is talked about on these boards. I am completely open to critical comments about the way I play or how my toons are built. Right now I just feel like I've learned 20% of the game from helpful random chance veterans in the groups I've played with and 80% has been self taught and I know that a good portion of that 80% is probably wrong or if not wrong at least incapable of seeing the big picture.
Anyway, if anyone is interested let met know. In addition to the toons above I mentioned I also have a L6 Cleric (sidebar: I just shelved him, learning the game and playing with a caster....just difficult). I've also just unlocked 32 pt builds so I am available to group in a wide range of areas.
