disappointment

[Sirea]

As far as the Risia comment it, The high end content wasn't even on the server so we all went in blind. No one had any experience except the DEV's

I saw LFMs up on Risia that insinuated they were trying out the new high-level content. Perhaps it meant something else then...

"Quite frankly I'm disappointed that some people on our laid-back server are showing their "elitism", so to say..."

*** is that stereotyping not only the good players but the whole server come on.

I have always believed that Ghalanda was the best server.. Reasons are simple: we have the best population with a wide variety of player types. Is that stereotyping too? Maybe but its not claiming for some specific reason so I don't think so.

Notice I said *some* players. There's a difference between players that are willing to help others out and give friendly advice - something I definitely try to do when I know there's a new person in the party, especially since I've been playing more lowbies lately and I know most quests up to Gianthold level much better than, for example, Vale or Orchard stuff (although 5-min Vol runs are always fun ) - and players that make you feel like a burden to the party when you ask questions. I had a string of these types of parties a while back, but as I get more confident in high-level content these things bother me less. But don't get me wrong, there are a lot of great players on Ghallanda and I feel like I've made several in-game friends over the last 6 months. 98% of the time I'm in groups that are fun and laid-back but efficient, well-run groups. And if we wipe, no biggie.

Trust me I hate soloing you out but I know you and am in your guild so I am hoping that bond keeps yet another from Blacklisting me. That said to every one that thinks this way.... YOUR WRONG. Who cares if you inconvenience some one a little to make things smother and easier. I never feel like I inconvenience a cleric by asking for a heal, I never feel like I inconvenience Bard for asking for a Buff, I never feel like I inconvenience Caster for a fire wall. Why, because that's there Role. Its what they made the Toon for. Its who they are playing. I feel like I inconvenience myself when I have to ask for the things players are made for. What does this have to do with your comment here is what... I ask "CAN YOU MAKE IT TO THE QUEST". You say "YES". I say again to affirm it "DO YOU NEED HELP". Your response "NO". All I am saying is if you need some one to hold your hand say as pathetically as you can muster "I NEED HELP". I say it all the time and I don't think it makes me a bad player just a wise one.
again a ton more I can comment on this.

Believe me Ben, you're a lot like Jay in many ways, except you say on the mike what he's saying off the mike, LOL. So how could I hate u? I know you ask if you need something, why else would I tease you for being so needy? I agree it is a problem when someone makes it look like they know how to get somewhere and they really don't, I know that 9 times out of 10 someone would hang back to help them find the way. But it's probably the same mentality I'm talking about here, the "I don't want to bother anyone, and I *kinda* know the way, so I'll figure it out hopefully" mindset, that holds a lot of people back. Not saying it's a good excuse, but it is what it is.

What the eff, I'll probably end up putting up a "come get lost in new content with me and die a lot" LFM one of these days, LOL.

"As for the uberness of Ghallanda and the excitement of taking out the new material first you need only look at Ravensgard to see that some of us are doing it."

Good for you. Fortunately, Ravensguard only groups with Ravensguard. Maybe you should post some screen shots so you can brag about your accomplishments. The arrogance spewing from Ravensguards makes me want to throw up.

News flash. There are other things in life more important that tooting your own horn on the DDO forums. Does anyone from Ravensguard have a life?

I do believe I've been misquoted here. Cornelius has taken one sentence of my post and put it completely out of context.

First off: I am NOT in Ravensguard. This .sig file usually gives that away, but again: I've been quoted out of context so whatever...

Second: I could really care less if people are doing this, that, or the other thing. I do my thing and join my online friends doing our thing. What Oogly originally posted was a question asking why people aren't doing more of the new quests from Mod 8. He's an online friend and a respected player in my books so I gave him my honest two-cents on the deal. Period.

So flame on if you must, but have the decency to at least quote me in context.

Well maxed out favor and ransacked on most the quests and areas on main character. Maybe people are just taking a break from the stuff or like myself hate starting up a PUG LFM
Being a cleric most the time, I usually wait for a LFM fills up before committing.

The original fear of the new content is slowly waining and more and more LFMs seem to be up for the new content.

We did still wait 25 minutes last nght to fill a Prey group, then we crushed the quest in no time at all. A couple vorpals and paralysers dropped as well. I wish they would fix the **** ice walls/floors so they drop more efficiently.

/signed - not sure if there is a trick that I'm just not aware of - but I've seen a couple of those just sit there to the point we finally restarted the quest

Almost restarted this due to that issue. Only reason we didn't is that we found a wolf in hide mode not moving. Once killed the wall broke open. Go figure.

Ooh, good point to keep in mind: hidden wolves. With the wacky dog aggro (running away) they can get lost.

DDO bugged? That never happens.

BTW it's happened to me twice now. Bug report has been submitted and I actually remain hopeful that it will get fixed in the next update.

Are DDO players lazy?

If a game developer releases new content and nobody plays it, does it still make a noise? Riddle me this!

Don't tell me how to play my character.

[Josh]

don't Tell Me How To Play My Character.

Lol!

[Raiderone]

I'll run new content with you anytime. I have three toons with all six gems
and working on getting them the quest gems.

Nylan just needs Monarchy gem. Grissa needs Prey and Kobold.
Taarna needs them all.

Working on my cleric lvl 14 (Victor) too. I also have a lvl 16 rogue at your service.

All in the L&H Guild.
