So... the VoN2 Blossom Jump

[Aziiz]

Sometimes, when I'm reading these forums, or when I used to read the WoW forums, I would come across stories of puggers so terrible that I would wonder to myself, "How? How can someone actually be that bad?", and then it happened: I was that guy today in VoN2.

So, I apologize to the poor guys who's 20 minutes I made more painful than it had to be. I really don't want to end up on anyone's 'Do Not Group With Because They Are Bad' list. If it means anything, I did go back in there on Normal and practice the jump a few times, and finding how easy it is I actually feel even worse.

I'm not going to cry myself to sleep if you hit 'Deny' next time I ping one of your LFMs, because I actually deserve to be denied after that run today. But just know that I have taken corrective action and next time I mess up something simple, it won't be that particular task.

lol.. noobs get a pass on ban...

We've all been there.. I once wiped a whole party when I cast grease in Greymoon part 2, causing the whole party to slide happily into the bridge trap!!!!!

LOL.. we all screw up.. what matters is that you learn from it.. get faster and more efficient.. it really is xp/minute (<1kxp/min is not good)

GENIOUS!

*loads grease/sleet storm up on wizzy again*

[epochofcrepuscule]

grease works so much better on von2 though, air bridges!

It also does wonders in the fire trap in what.. CO6 part 5? Pretty sure its 5. Most people dont wait for a rogue (like me) so you have to time the run. A grease does wonders for the timing.


(since people need smileys to get the humor)

Nah no worries.

[Visty]

what blossom jump?
is that a possible exploit?

[Judo]

aziiz you're fired lol

[mannvar]

in order to accept your apology, i demand that you post a fraps capture of you performing 1300 consecutive jumps successfully.

[Aziiz]

aziiz you're fired lol

nooooo! I just started my epic career. I'd really like to continue it, hence (<--I hate when ppl use that word) this thread.

If it makes you feel any better, I can tell you about a couple of my MANY noob moments.
-Shroud, mostly Legion folks. I was on my caster. 3rd to the last portal, going smoothly (of course) and my finger slips to hit D-Door instead of haste on the portal beaters. I swear it was an accident, but I just. couldn't. stop. laughing. I know Drak must've been cussing me up one side & down the other in vent, but he was a perfect gent to me in party chat when I apologized and mea culpafied myself.

Not enough?

-Hound, GSI. I was on my cleric. Just because I'd never thought of it before, I wondered if break enchantment would get rid of the bees on the little charmed doggies. Needless to say, break enchantment does not get rid of the bees. It does have a different effect, so we had to scramble a little to pull it back out of the hat. Again, it was difficult for me to even breathe I was laughing so hard, and though I'm sure Seno didn't share my self-induced hilarity, he was very gentle in his explanation that future attempts to experiment while I'm main healer might not be the best idea.

Cheers!

Oh that one is brilliant. I never thought of grease there in the past. I wish I still played just to grease some friends there.

Another great place for grease is in Tempest Spine, right after you get the first pillar. When you walk out the portal to the outside. 1 by 1 they go flying over the side...

Is the blossom the one at the end of the maze (I never remember which is which...)

If so... I believe it was deemed "cheese" and has since been fixed or is being fixed in the next update.

No worries....see the fact that you recognize you where the problem and then went back to learn how to correct it (either on your own or asked for help...doesnt matter)....it is the simple fact that you did all that then came here to post it up further...all i gotta say....is keep playing you will be fine...and you will get better.

Now if you could just find away to get this through 90% of the other players...the game would be a Vet delight.

Keep up your efforts we where all noobs once...and some of us still are
