Mute shroud runs....why!?!?!

[Altarboy]

I'll start this with...
We in A&O may talk too much, usually me and the other NYer(mostly him) but, is this silent trek through the shroud fun for you guys???

I mean seriously isn't this suppose to fun?

It feels like your taking a test when all you bastards are just silent...
I'm not talkin bout runs where you have lots of newbies and they need direction...
but, on veteran filled high dps teams...
It's really unnerving...
It's like playing video games with the children of the corn
I may have to start singing the flintstones theme song through the whole thing from now on...oh course I'll have hands free active

why why why

Do you need to concentrate on hitting the portals???

Are you guys doing laundry and just leaving your toons on auto??

Is there some secret society I am unaware of??

Or are all you lil f*****s on vent????I knew it!!!

I'll leave you with this....

~~Flintstones...meet the flintstones....~~

People say I don't talk enough during quests, Altar. Sorry. I'll work on that.

*shrug* i'm usually pretty quiet in their as well.
Are we talking general chitchat or just using the mic for necessary communication? because i don't usually have to much to say to 11 other people i don't know or the 4 people i just casually know. generally i like to keep off the mic for instructions, questions or status updates.
also, i enjoy some of the banter from people in other guilds. A&O is pretty good for that.

and it's a pet peave of mine when you run with a player who feels the need to keep the entire party in the loop of his gaming experience. "those blades just hit me for 30!!", "i critted him good, WOW AGAINS!", "i am running him around the tree, he can't get me, oooops he got me, ok now he can't get me", "it only took me three jumps to get the puzzle, i messed it up the first time but i got it back right away. anyone need help, i am really good at these?"

LOL okay...you have a point..I hate those guys...them and the ones who need to tell you every stat on their toon and what uber gear they got.

[Boldrin]

Lol, I know , I love people talking about what they hit things for on a crit. I don't even have combat info on my chat windows.

[Luckylu]

I have you ALL trumped on that issue. I did a TR yesterday on a lowbie of mine, and omfg the leader of the group made us ROLL PLAY for 1 1/2 hours! I mean things like he felt tired from healing, so he needed to use the shrine, to making everyone stealth around. I had to move my mic away from my mouth or I would have cried laughing. He was even asking us to "imigane Gary G. in his grave laughing at us", so Yeah I dont like the Super quiet Children of Corn Shroud runs either, BUT COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS! lol, ok that is all I have for now.

OMG this made me pee a little - hilarious!!!

A couple of guildies and I thought it would be funny to get drunk and make level 1 guys and group in PUGs and just start role playing without telling anyone what we were doing. "Pardon me, fair maiden, but may I place my hands upon thee and imbue the blessings of the Flame?" We might not ever do it, but it makes us laugh really hard to think about the reactions we would get!

I love silent groups. Nothing is more fun than when we are operating like such a well-oiled machine that I can just crank up the tunes, sit back, and breeze through.

[Lorichie]

I like communication. I want to be able to hear whats expected of me, if i dont already know. I like to know if something happens and i need to be aware of it. I like to just sit back, and mind numbingly play the game without fear of having to listen to that all too quiet person (me most of the time when i do speak).

That being said, i also enjoy joining groups where i know no one, everyone else knows each other, there's lots of bantering, bickering, hobnobbing (is that a word? lol) Bull crapping, ribbing, etc going on.

Some days you are in the mood and some days you arent, and ive been around long enough to know which people, which guilds are what kind of folks, and whether my head can handle joining at that particular moment.

Most of all i like to listen. You'd be amazed at what you hear when you just listen. The average person thinks that they have secrets and most of the time they are so wrong lol.

Being a complete idiot apparently it took me years to get my headset/mic working so i can talk. It's still new to me, so if i'm quiet, it could be the wife is sleeping, or it could just be i forget to chime in with some useless comment about something i know nothing about. Mostly i feel i dont have anything relevant to say so i just keep my mouth shut.

I will say this, squelch is my friend tho, i have very few people on squelch, most of them are the one's that endlessly talk about how much more they know than another, how great their build is (all of them) even the one's not on their accounts that they are playing at that moment, how its always someone elses fault when they die etc. I just wish squelch would follow them around, to every toon they ever play, so i dont get surprised when they say, "hey@@@#!!! havent talked to you for a while". Yeah, there's a reason buddy, /squelch lol.

I think the /squelch command is account-wide. Won't help you filter out those with multiple accounts, but it'll get you 1/2 or 1/3rd of the way there!

yeah, i should have been more specific:

I just wish it would follow them around to every toon "they ever make again once i initially squelch them". lol

I like the funny stuff, hate the boring me me me talk, dislike over leading, nothign worse than the insanely competant group and the leader is still giving out instructions.

On Ghal often we share youtube links during shroud, and I'm basically just annoying as hell no matter what quest I'm in.

[Valiena]

I usually listen to music on every part except 2 now. Not so loud I can not hear, but it is better than watching portal or Harry's health bar.
