Make Your Own Way...

[Scarsgaard]

OK.. I have a peeve...

If you see a LFM with either In Progress or Make your own way, Don't join unless you can actually get there by yourself. Seriously.

If you see me posting this, realize that I will not come and get you, show you where the quest is and basically hold your hand.

I'm already tired of teaching (like 6 months ago), and if you're joining my party and you're not ready and capable... please realize that the odds of me coming out (and thusly slowing the instance's progress) for you is very unlikely.

Now, I'm not saying that a noob can't join, just be ready. Have your own healing covered. Carry the pots you'll need and think you'll need and be prepared to run fast... the odds that the path is clear is pretty good, and the quest odds are is almost done... so don't be afraid to join.. just be ready & self sufficient.

So far I've met few new people who understand what they're getting into...

thus the post.

Agreed, I've seen much of the same with groups I've joined. I also think part of this problem may be the fact that 75% of the lfm's I see on the boards that are for levels 11-14 doing quest on normal????? What is this normal they are trying to do?

PoP normal is for lvl 9...

[Gorstag]

Not only pop, when I read this I looked at the lfm's, there was a 11-14 group forming to do Chamber of kourush on normal. What are they thinking!!!!

[Dorthin_Othortin]

there is a vast number of ppl on thelanis that actually like a slower pace, exploritive type quest run.

there are actually alot of ppl on thelanis that like to start on normal and then be coaxed into doing hard and end up on the elite setting.

personally, being a rusher/zerger, i tend to stay away from these grps, however i do realize that they are out there.

alot of grps will say what to expect and i would suggest that you CLEARLY STATE IN YOUR LFM statement what you expect and how you intend on running said quests as to avoid any and all confusion about what joining members will expect from your grps.

a simple
"doing POP, elite setting, rush/zerg members only, pst. RP/slow go players need not apply"

or some such manner.

i can tell you that posting here on the forums is going to net you notta lot, except maybe grief

another thing, i tend to be the king of rushing/zerging, but if i join a zerg/rush grp, i intend to be healed. i carry pots for emergencies and in case i get an idiot healer (which i usually only grp with once then put on my "idiot healer" list) and vise versa, if im playing my cleric you had better stay in range or die in which case i will laugh at you and may or may not rez you

theres 2 types of rush/zerg

1. i rush, i zerg and im extremely good at what i do

2. i rush, i zerg, i die cause im an idiot, im a poor player to begin with and i shouldnt consider myself a rusher/zerger :P :P

happy posting, welcome to thelanis!

[Lizzybrat]

It's not zerging.. it's efficient use of time management.

But I do have to agree with the OP - read the LFM *before* you join the group. Nothing I hate worse then someone joining and their first question is "What are we doing?" followed quickly by "What house is that in?"

*bangs head on keyboard*

Reading is fundamental!

[Galwain]

Zerging??? Whats that?

How do you do that?

How do i learn?

Where do i go?

Huh???.........................

LOL... I will get grief.. and as most folkes know... I could care less. My original post stands. If the LFM says In Progress or Make Your Own Way.. well that means just that..

another thing, i tend to be the king of rushing/zerging, but if i join a zerg/rush grp, i intend to be healed. i carry pots for emergencies and in case i get an idiot healer (which i usually only grp with once then put on my "idiot healer" list) and vise versa, if im playing my cleric you had better stay in range or die in which case i will laugh at you and may or may not rez you

LOL... here as well.. I'm on my 3rd cleric... I heal and kill very well. But if I'm in a party with a mana sponge... well the healing stops and the punk gets to wait until the next shrine. If a crazy zerger can't be bothered to draw back, work in the fast moving team... then he gets booted from the party... but if the person can hold their own, in a fast good manner then they quickly become a friend

P.S. earlier today I ran with a great pug of lowbees in deleras, and this fast moving party rocked...

I didnt know one could actually do normal or hard (except perhaps the first time, to open the next level)

I better put in a bug report my button is broken, it only lets me select elite

Oh and in the LFM, if your one of us perhaps simply put it as "XORIAT STYLE" in the comment

Careful, Drak, I know you don't want to get blacklisted by anyone.

Elite or bust is better.

Ok, time for me to rant.

I dont understand this. This, is a game. I, play the GAME. What they do with the Servers, does not affect my gameplay what-so-ever. I will continue to zerg and hammer out every quest on elite as usual. People whining, and complaining do nothing for me; Since I will continue todo what I do best. Regardless if they merge all the servers together into one. I will still play. I will still choose one or 2 different people to run with me and see how it goes. If they are good they may be welcomed back. If not? Oh well, I might try to help them with Items, Tomes, Gear, to make them better. If that doesnt work, Best of luck and ill see ya around.

Ask around, I'm probably one of the most generous, yet hardest person to team with. How i got that way, i have no idea. I hand away items and tomes like candy. I zerg people through favor if they ask.

What people whine about 4 days after a new merger? Goes right past me. It shouldn't bug you either. Play your game the way you always have. As will I. Get comfortable with the new people. I am. Them make your opinion in about a month or to, And I'll validate it. I'll respect it. And I'll agree with it.

Sorry, if this bugs anyone. But hey, ITS A GAME! Have a good time dammit.

[gorloch]

I think Scar is just telling everyone his playstyle, which is the same for about 90% of us who have come from Xoriat. And yes there is such a thing as normal and hard, it's the two times you have to play that quest on unless you have someone who can open it straight to elite or when you are doing a quest that is approximately 5 levels above where your character is at.

Not whining. LOL...

I think you might get what I'm saying with a bit of clarification... if you see my descriptive comment on a LFM you know what I'm doing. Now, that clarifies things a bit.

If I were to see a Wizardking Run in Progress, RPing Required, I'd know that I gotta talk funny (I talk like someone from the Ozarks.. cuzdey funnee), and say in party things like "look o'er dare... see dat coffin thingy... bet there somethin inside.. lets look inside" or "look there's something shiney" or "bah, humbug.. these are dwarf made floors.. no way they can break.. we built to last... har har har". ( remember in RPing you can't use foreknowledge... it ruins the experience, you must RP ignorance too!!!).

So, if you're not getting what I'm posting... sorry mate but you might just not get whats happening over the next week... can't say what is aout to happen... but you'll see.

This is not a courtship, or a teenager in the backseat of his daddy's car looking for his first thrill.

What was unclear about this? And this is what the post was about. Those other things were merely put forth as reasons WHY the OP was having trouble with folks joining his grp who did not heed warnings in the LFM (Make your own way, In progress).

another thing

That's for another post.

Hey bone head... you forgot the most important part about you in your signature. "Father of Rian the Great". Rian would have remembered to add that into his sig.

Rian would not need that in his signature becuase, except for some rare cases in the mountians of West Virginia or Kentucky, he cannot be his own father.

Rian would have figured that out.

If it ain't got some slapping, biting, and beratings it ain't Xoriat.. it's just Disney Channel

hmmm, you have 4 sorcs? so this means your really skilled at playing sorcs? i love players who knows how to play a sorc , your the type of player i would group with, not to say anything but we need more people like you around, your playstyle sounds like mine, i hate it when people say elite this is too hard, we get in their and my sorc is just zerging though it with ease

[loki523]

we get in their and my sorc is just zerging though it with ease

FERNIA SERVER:

level 2 sorcerer, Bob
level 1.4 fighter, Billy
level 1.04 pally, Billy bob
level 0.8 ranger, Joe
level .007 cleric, Bobby Joe
level 3 bard, Billy Joe
level 1.2 battle bard, Jobbey

That is the funniest thing I have read all week. Do you seriously have 7 characters that total less than 9.5 levels? ROFLMAO. I gotta assume that's a joke but then again if you're from Fernia...

i tend to be the king of rushing/zerging, but if i join a zerg/rush grp, i intend to be healed.

This has gotta be the second funniest thing I've read all week. A decent cleric will stick with the majority of his group and keep everyone within his range healed at all times. That said, it's not the cleric's responsibility to chase down morons. If you leave your cleric in the dust and can't keep yourself healed that doesn't make you the king of zergers, it makes you the king of n00bs.
