Terrible new trend

[roadkill525]

I'm a new player and I've had a great time on this server so far. started playing friday night/saterday morning and have met nothing but nice helpfull people. I normaly explain to the group while we are gathering that I played way back when with that preorder beta thing and not sence.

I do the same thing now, if someone in the gorup could use something I got that I can't I offer it up and people have been giving me stuff I can use. I love playing a rogue, and aparently my spot sucks cause I can;t spot anything but the group leaders been great about showing me where the traps are to search and disable them. I done WW and STK a few times and am really lovin em, but it makes me relize I need to focus more on traps then dammage. and don try to do STK on eliete with a lvl 4 rogue unless ya know that rogue specilized for traps. I even had a blast gettin blown up by critical failures on disable device.

I have only met a few ‘jerks’ on Thelanis. I do not pug as much now as I used to (guild always seems to have something going on when I log in) but when I do I try to pay back what I have been given/taught. There are a few players who are on my “cool forever” list that really took time and helped me out, taught me how to play smarter, etc. I try to help new players as I was helped out, I show them smart ways I have been taught to do a quest, where possible wipes happen and how to avoid them, etc.

I am still not an uber player by any means, but it was fun to save a gwylans run gone bad with a pug when one of the players quit after dying and I joined for the third try at it. When I got there and they told me how hard it had been, I replied . . . “Well we are in luck on this quest, because a little halfling cleric I know showed me how to run this sucker, lets go beat this thing.” And we did.

So while there may be elitists and jerks, there are still a LOT of great folk that more than make up for it.

do people leave after dieing? we were trying to run STK on eliete and all of us racked up a huge repair bill trying and failing to get past the traps I couldn't disarm. it was a blast though. no one left and we musta died a dozen times or more

Yeah it happens. Most times it is someone who thinks that they are gods gift to the game, then when the group wipes they ALWAYS say that it was the other people who screwed up. They rant, cuss, etc. and drop group. I have seen this happen in the middle of a quest and they leave the group stranded. SO, it made the whole 3rd try on same difficulty setting win all that more sweet.

I can't remember leaving a quest because of dying. I usually just gut it out. The only time I remember leaving a group mad was when I joined a group for a gianthold run when it was new, with my Cleric. I let them know that I had no idea how to get there, but they ran out ahead before I even zoned in. After repeatedly asking for help in figuring out where to go, I run into a mob and die. I res out and try again. Still no response to my requests for help, and by that time they had jumped in the quest so I didn't even have their dots to help guide me. Another mob, another death. Rather than open up on them at how very pessed off I was, I pulled out my network cable. Nothing good woulda came if I would have spoken my mind at that time! (and I'm pretty easy going)
