by posting every completion of a raid on epic or elite that most of the regular players find as unspectacular. Im not saying that it isnt great that you have beaten the shroud or tod on elite, or that it isnt fun to do the dragon on epic, but seriously why do people insist on posting them here on argo.

I checked on some of the other servers and I didnt see them having this issue. Aside from the fact that posts like those should be in the achievements section, they do nothing but make Argo look noobish in the fact that people post pics and pat themselves on the backs for beating raids on elite that were completed almost 2 years ago on elite (shroud) and 6 months ago on elite (TOD on the test server).

I would like to say congrats now once and for all and hope that in the future, unless you are the first to beat a raid on epic or elite that you would post your favorite screenies on your own guild site.

I agree.
It should be posted under achievements.

But looking at some of the pics and seeing some of the players in those raids....noobish fits most of them well.

I agree that hearing about Hefty's sack is much more entertaining. My sack seems shriveled by comparison. In fact, hefty's sack has probably become so swollen with large ingredients that it's probably time for a reappearance :O

Other noteable ways of getting notoriety on Argo:

Cast Mass Suggestion in The Titan on the warforged minions.
Back-up Chuck Norris when he's in town.
Find the craziest woman on the forums and start discussing kitten-petting after she tries to pick you up in-game multiple times, but upon rejection/lack of progress insists you are a Great Liar per Kingdom of Heaven.
Get into a debate with Mhykke.
Post very unique pictures of emus, goats, or Tatu.
Post a 1-man solo of anything relatively hard and get into a debate with Mhykke, Unbreakable, Alex, etc.
Post anything with the words Hivemind, NHers, Hefty's Sack, Johnson Stomp and know what you're talking about when referencing these words.

I actually agree with this, except that I don't think any particular post will make Argo noobish, and I don't think we should setup guideline on what should or should not be posted, e.g. only the first one is allowed to post. And making 3 similar posts on the same topic is a bit too much. But I respect everyone has the freedom of speech on this forum. You may report them if the message violate any forum guideline, or just ignore them, or give them neg rep if you can.

The real credit for completion of those Raids on Elite/Epic should go to the people that completed the epic/elite raids long before the most recents completions.
These raiders have put the time and resources into figuring out how to beat the raids.
To those pioneers of raiding; I salute you.

1. Who cares if the server looks nooby? If a couple of posts ruin the reputation of a whole server that morons are reading and reacting to the post.

2. Who cares if the server looks nooby? Is your personal reputation at stake? Will this keep you from getting dates in the future? Its a game, not youtube videos of you taking a shower or something.

3. Honestly, cant you just not read them? Its pretty easy to skip past something and ignore it.

To me, these postings are about as annoying as seeing a blue car drive down my street. I don't like blue, but I also have better things to do with my time than run outside and bother the driver about it even though I went through the horrors of seeing it drive by. Honestly people, this game is known for having a mature player base compared to others. Complaining about this issue makes people look small, petty, and implies strongly that they need a life with real things to worry about.

I'm sorry the fact that someone created a channel hurt your ego, Bill. Just so happens this one contains all of 9 people, if that. For the express purpose of creating groups without spamming the AM channel, because every time we tried we caught flak for it. Some of us got tired and made this to keep a semi-static group in touch to run epic. It's not the new uber channel to be in like you think. Its a small personal channel that one person created to make organizing epic runs something that isn't a constant battle of smart ass comments from everyone who's TR'ing.

If your ****ed that this channel isn't open to everyone, then so be it. Squelch me and move on. It's kept between the select few because they ran together for so long figured it out and are trying to stay loyal to each other now that everyone else is finally seeing the rewards. A heads up, generally theres 3-5 on at any time and we still pug out spots, and about 50% of the time the groups make it to LFM's because AM channel is still flipping us off.

Also, it's well-known that Hefty is Petty and this post is not unusual nor unbecoming of him. It's infact expected, and rather interesting to see how many times we can talk about his Sack before the thread gets Johnson Stomped by Tarant.

Finding a unique way to drag Strakeln into your thread (he's from Khyber and generally thinks he's better than you -- you being anyone but me or Aspenor)
Getting Aspenor to discuss your thread in any way: very hard since he left Tinted Faces.
Knowing the many-name-changes of Argonnessen guilds and players due to inappropriate conduct and/or nomenclature. Ex: Red Eyed Knights
Greasing anyone in VoN5's platforms and screenshotting it -- always a crowd pleaser.
Drinking Absinthe with me.
Talking to Hawksendoom.
Getting a Groovy Cat Point from Hawksendoom.
Finding the Druid's Grove. (And turning in your twig)
Mailing Rameses coal.
Claiming you know who the leader of the Tinted Faces really is (and he's your guild leader, even though you're in Guild of the Fluffy Dragons or other such Titles)
Finding a way to turn a fictional race comment into prejudice and claiming bigotry against said user of the comment, even though this is a fictional race. *coughs* IE: Discrimination against Elves, Faeries, and Good Men -- all fictional beings.
Finding the Goggles of Intuition and bringing them.

Rich, density must be an inherent trait.
One, you only got ****y when someone wouldn't let you in.

Two, it is working well as i am not over filling every **** quest like what happened just before the channel was created (the reason it was created so that i wouldn't have to boot people if we overfilled.)

Three, I'm not putting words in your mouth but your certainly putting them in mine. All the comments I've ever heard have been people dissing those they don't even know because their in this channel. Again the purpose (in bold this time too. Is so that those of us who began the trend can stick together once everyone else picked it up.

Four, the am channel was flipping us off, and mocking us for running epic weeks before we formed this channel, so don't presume to even hide behind that paper shield.

Five, if it's so humours, why do you care? Oh wait, obviously you don't and this tantrum isn't about anything.

Actually, I got ****y because they wouldnt let tot in. When I was told I wasnt going to be let in the reason I was given was that the majority vote was against me because I was not liked. How would you respond to that if it was a guildy?

Two, it is working well as i am not over filling every **** quest like what happened just before the channel was created (the reason it was created so that i wouldn't have to boot people if we overfilled.)

I dont care why it was created, the fact is its only epic. Abbott was more difficult and we didnt need a channel to beat it.

Four, the am channel was flipping us off, and mocking us for running epic weeks before we formed this channel, so don't presume to even hide behind that paper shield.

Not sure what this means.

Five, if it's so humours, why do you care? Oh wait, obviously you don't and this tantrum isn't about anything.

This tantrum is about loyalty. Loyalty for those that 6 months ago couldnt get a group because they **** on their friends to run with one person then couldnt get a group. Now they seem to think they can exclude people that helped them. The reality is after epic blows over, as all content does, they are going to have trouble getting the same people to run with them.


I used to have a great deal of respect for you Bill. You were blunt honest and to the point in everything you did. Now, well like I said, if I so offend your sensibilities you are free to squelch me.


In closing, this has nothing to do with you. I really dont care if you respect me. I also have no reason to squelch you. you seem to be repeating things that have been conveyed to you inaccurately, so I'm setting it straight. My leaving PWNY had nothing to do with the channel, it was the lack of loyalty that you seem to think is being bred. This is as blunt and honest as I can be. If it hurts your sensibilities, sorry man...but its not really a sensitive topic for me.

02-17-2010, 07:57 PM
eh, tbh, there's butthurt on both sides. but this will be over in a couple of months once people are regularly running epic dragon raids (and concurrent, epic vons since you need to get shards... trickle down)

i think epics will be run a lot more now that there is a very good payout for dragon relative to running dq epic (which is more pots). it comes down to two resources: time and pots. time is in abundance for some, not for me, which is why i didn't bother with epics originally because there's nothing in there. pots are a rarity for some, which is why epic dq raid wasn't really run

the smaller quests are fine and all but i don't think there was anything extremely attractive in there before. now that red dragon scale and epic sos are in play, there are def. objectives to accomplish for people

so take that however you will, just don't try to make it into am vs. epic channel cause it's not. it's just bill oreos on a crusade. am is generally diverse and you know as well as i do that everyone pretty much does anything they **** please in there, epics, abbots, TR be damned. it's not that they're ignoring EPICS specifically but all pursuing their own agendas, which is what it's there for

totmacher
02-17-2010, 08:01 PM
oh and i made fun of epics because it was a waste of time from a healer's standpoint, plus it was more selfish than that, there wasn't much of a payout i could see pursuing out of all the dq epics (for anyone)... sure if you don't wanna tr then it's something to run but i saw tr as a much bigger draw. hell even abbot was a bigger draw

it was just a treadmill with an insufficient carrot is all

I checked on some of the other servers and I didnt see them having this issue. Aside from the fact that posts like those should be in the achievements section, they do nothing but make Argo look noobish in the fact that people post pics and pat themselves on the backs for beating raids on elite that were completed almost 2 years ago on elite (shroud) and 6 months ago on elite (TOD on the test server).

I would like to say congrats now once and for all and hope that in the future, unless you are the first to beat a raid on epic or elite that you would post your favorite screenies on your own guild site.

I dont know why people post these types of things at all. OK so you beat a quest on epic or raid on elite. LOL good for you. I think people tend to blend real life with this game after a while and forget this is just a video game. But they seem to think its one of lifes great accomplishements to do an epic VON and post it on a forum........lol

by posting every completion of a raid on epic or elite that most of the regular players find as unspectacular. Im not saying that it isnt great that you have beaten the shroud or tod on elite, or that it isnt fun to do the dragon on epic, but seriously why do people insist on posting them here on argo.

As a guilty poster of some screenshots I took for some raids I was happy to complete on my healer.

Perhaps it does look noobish to some twinked veterns that were completing raids before I even started playing this game. Thats not really the point, these are screenshots of players from several guilds coming together to complete some high level stuff that I was quite happy to be part of. We had fun doing it and I didn't see a better place to post it, perhaps a subcategory within the guild section or in the acheivements section may be a better place to post, who knows..

To you and the upper eschelon of uber players its all... been there done that... but it is an achievement I was happy to reach and deemed it worthy of posting..

I don't play on any other servers so I can't attest to why anyone else isn't posting screenshots, but I would wecome seeing others post their successes.

Thats fine man, I was simply pointing out that there is a special forum for achievements already established by Turbine. If I were you and I was excited by a special completion I would personally post it on my guilds own forum that we have through guild portal. However, my point is that all of the screenshots you posted while they may be a huge deal to you have been previously accomplished often by many on this server. What would you think of Argo if all the newer people posted screenshots everytime they were able to beat water works on elite for the first time, or tempest spine? My issue is not to insult you or rain on your parade, but it is kind of a pat on the back that says congrats man, now act like youve been to the top of the mountain before.

Well to be fair TOD Elite, Velah Epic and Shroud Elite are not the same as WW, STK or TS, but I appreciate the response and I will try to curb my enthusiasm but if I ever get that elite Abbot you are gonna see screen pics!!!

I am barely able to get my pic's on these forums let alone get myself setup on a guild portal but give me time, I'll figure it out.

Abbot elite was about 2 years ago. The point Hefty was making that WW and TS to you are the same as VON and ToD to veterans. He did have a good suggestion, go to guild portal and build a site. Also, post it in the achievement forums as opposed to the server forums. Congrats to your success, its a great accomplishment the first time. Heed the advice however, it will save you some grief...the forums are not always a friendly place. :)

Thelanis has achievements?!?

That's like saying Sarlona and Ghallanda have nice people....

Or that I've got ROUS's in my back yard.

Or that Khyber is serious about being serious.

Or that Strakeln is the #1 Troll.

It's all lies... or is it?

Other noteable ways of getting notoriety on Argo:

Cast Mass Suggestion in The Titan on the warforged minions.
Back-up Chuck Norris when he's in town.
Find the craziest woman on the forums and start discussing kitten-petting after she tries to pick you up in-game multiple times, but upon rejection/lack of progress insists you are a Great Liar per Kingdom of Heaven.
Get into a debate with Mhykke.
Post very unique pictures of emus, goats, or Tatu. Speaking of which... How are Gum's Emus doin? :D
Post a 1-man solo of anything relatively hard and get into a debate with Mhykke, Unbreakable, Alex, etc.
Post anything with the words Hivemind, NHers, Hefty's Sack, Johnson Stomp and know what you're talking about when referencing these words.

I... Love.... You... xD

Other ways to gain Notoriety on Argonnessen:


Mentioning Nat Gann
Mentioning Tot's posture concerning carnal openings and closings.
Discussing A Universal Mind, in detail, and referencing a Midsummer Night's Dream in Theater Class.
Finding a unique way to drag Strakeln into your thread (he's from Khyber and generally thinks he's better than you -- you being anyone but me or Aspenor)
Getting Aspenor to discuss your thread in any way: very hard since he left Tinted Faces.
Knowing the many-name-changes of Argonnessen guilds and players due to inappropriate conduct and/or nomenclature. Ex: Red Eyed Knights
Greasing anyone in VoN5's platforms and screenshotting it -- always a crowd pleaser.
Drinking Absinthe with me.
Talking to Hawksendoom.
Getting a Groovy Cat Point from Hawksendoom.
Finding the Druid's Grove. (And turning in your twig)
Mailing Rameses coal.
Claiming you know who the leader of the Tinted Faces really is (and he's your guild leader, even though you're in Guild of the Fluffy Dragons or other such Titles)
Finding a way to turn a fictional race comment into prejudice and claiming bigotry against said user of the comment, even though this is a fictional race. *coughs* IE: Discrimination against Elves, Faeries, and Good Men -- all fictional beings.
Finding the Goggles of Intuition and bringing them.
Oh and Ramz: Reacquired my heart's desire. Going to Oz in May before my deployment. :)

Aren't they the same thing?:eek:

No because most of Argo's achievement threads are about IRL instances during game our outside of game involving two DDO players meeting and in some way "creating" an achievement, be it being dressed in a leather thong and tied and tethered to the master, or to be whisked away to Oz for some Chinese, or even simply eating oreos with wine by one's self. The Argonnessen Achievements that truly matter would never hold up to scrutiny in the Achievement forums.

EDIT: Actually, wrestling an emu MIGHT hold up in the Achievement forums.
