Thanks You Thelanis

**** - I was one of the people who just kind of knows the map, and was in on this, and it was indeed a mess. Now I wish I hung with it because I really wanted the elite favor and those chests, but when the few people who seemed to know what they were doing bailed on the thing, including the original group leader, I figured it was done. Hell, I even gave it one more try re-entering with 3 other people.

But yeah, that was a real mess - my second time up the spine, and just a wreck.

The real issue is this - if you are in a new map, and don't know it, then STAY WITH THE GROUP. Too many hot shot players who just ran around and got lost. And it ticked me off, because at times, since I don't know the quest great yet (only my second spine run), I ended up following someone who had NO CLUE where they were going!

It was a royal mess, but man, now I really wish I had stayed. Was hard at the time though too, because when I finally did bail, it was already 2am here. Awesome to hear that someone helped you finish. I'd have stuck around had the group leaders not bailed on the thing.

just have to pipe in here OR if you can't stay cause your lost.....for gawd sake say something, so you can get caught up with everyone.

Once again...communication....it ain't just a novel thing

You will find that the majority of the people who know this quest are the very old players that remember that being only one of two raids in the game. Many of us used to run TS to earn back money lost after running Velah. Although I don't normally run this one much any more I will always join in on any guild run we do through it.

Cappuccino I think you would have had to have been there to understand fully what he is talking about but it was the blind leading the blind at certain spots and most players have been trained in this game to follow along epically when they don't know what they are doing. Looking back then one part was funny eight people out of twelve jumped down the hole past fire and ice before we had done fire and ice because we where being good little raid players and sticking with the group. After being a lemming and jumping down the hole I mental picked a different player that I tried to follow because they knew what they where doing.

I considered calling it a night too Zion_Halcyon but too pretty much have the quest done on elite when you are wanting the favor heck I would have given up my XP and opened it too some high levels just to get it done before I abandoned it also I do not like to quit or being beaten and usually the first in line for a reform in a failed quests where it is success or fail (unless things go super bad).

Also it might be just bad luck with this quest but half of times I have ran it this quest more so than any other seems to attract players with a huge ego, they usually have some skills to back it and last nights run was no exception and we had one player that let everyone know how much better he was than the rest of us. These people seem to be the first to bail when things to not go according to there plan, it is sad to see because had they taken the ego a bit further and taken charge it would have been a very smooth run.

I was still very appreciative to the second crew that selflessly joined and got it done.

My help extends to you too.

Dragon: probably so, but my comment was more in general regarding getting lost in places and not speaking up to be added to your "stay with the group"

But I've been on many a run with how yours ended up to feel the pain of it.

i see ts as a source or excuse for socialisation

no im not weird or maybe a bit

[Jemidon]

TS + extended grease on the gaps in the floor = Much hilarity & cursing

[Zion_Halcyon]

well, I'll be on around starting 10-11ish cst if anyone wants to give elite Spine another go - I need help with that one

[Rasczak]

Shortman it. Way better chance of sticking together, less chance of pulling aggro you can't handle and if you have a burninator......you sorted

More fun as you get to experience things instead of playing catch up after zerging fools who don't know the quest yet apparently have completed the quest before by killing everything outside o.O
Did that sound bitter? I like shortman. TS is too easy nowadays with all the lowbie eq out there :/
