I'm very sorry.......

[Impaqt]

You didnt read the "BYOH" part of my LFM and died a few times.

yes, there were 2 Divines in the group... That doesnt mean you can ignore parts of the lfm.

[ZJEPane]

Preach it, Brotha'!

[Bacab]

I don't think you are really sorry.

It's ok though. I poured out a part of a healing pot for "tha homies".

[Clay]

he might be sorry that the guy joined the LFM... or that he clicked "accept" -- still counts as sorry!

[grayham]

Well he's probably sorry he joined by the sound of things.

A sorry state of affairs all round.

Is it simply the fact that he died that bothers you? Or was he screaming the whole time for heals even though the LFM read "BYOH"?

The trend of threads like this is starting to make me wonder whether it's really necessary to have a forum post every time a noob hits a vet LFM (or vice versa).

[Forzah]

This thread is cliché at best.

[Arkat]

Perhaps the player in question was not particularly good with English acronyms (or even good with English itself) and did not know what "BYOH" stood for?

People (usually) don't just put text in their LFM for their own or someone else entertainment.
They (again, usually) want the text to be read and understood, almost like a contract if you will.
If you have questions or need clarifications, you can always send a /tell.
Joining an LFM without knowing (or having some sort of a clue) what is expected of you is plain rude.

he seemed to have a strong grasp on the english language.

He was an Artificer........

It was an Elite Partycrashers run. the groups mood was pleasant. I did indeed throw a few heals his way as did the cleric in the group. no one said a word when he died (There were a couple other deaths in the run as well... no one cared) even used raise dead scrolls to get him back up.

we were going to move on to Big top next and he just dropped. I sent him a tell to let him know that he could come with us to Big top as long as someone went in first(He wasnt flagged)

I got back a 'You let me die in the middle of the room, I've had enough' response......

just thought it was bizaar that he was the only one the least bit upset.....

Og not another artificer that cant heal himself or the party...
Even fleshie Artificers can throw maximized/empowered mass cures pots.

I dont care if an arti cant/wont heal other people in the party...(hell, I dont care if a cleric doesnt heal me while zerging/leveling) but there are some very good options for self healing with an arti.

Heh, at first i was like " Oh no, another jaded vet bull####t. Well, this explanation really changed my mind, heh.

[Teraz]

Why didn't he just pike???

Exactly,

No reason why the Arti couldnt keep himself alive.

What I don't understand is when an Arti says he can't heal himself or needs a heal except for those rare oops moments...

I was getting great healing numbers throwing a pot on the ground healing myself and everyone around me.
The metas along with Max/Emp was easily hitting 100+HP cures on a potion throw before healing amps.
UMD Scroll heals are by far are the best from an arti.

[Blackmoors]

Your sorry...? As well as you should be! Your gimped healing just cost the party 10% XP!!! Shame on you sir, SHAME ON YOU!

[Inferno346]

I had a pure human favored soul from Archa***** get mad at me for not healing him in eDA. I was very confused!

(This was maybe six months ago, though. I'm sure he has improved.)

My first impulse is to put BYOH in every LFM I put up, even if I'm on a divine and plan on healing. I do this on my TRs... most of the time on my first lifers I don't do that stuff, but even that tiny check usually weeds out some of the undesirables. If someone needs more healing than pots, the few times they have joined, they have been up front about it and I have taken them anyway. This is why 99.95% of my runs succeed. The other .05 is because I like to grief my own guild runs.

I wish one of the tips of the day that came up on loading screens would be "Divine casters can do more than heal. Why not let them?" I know I have earlier posts saying contrary things, but seriously no one wants to log into the game to watch red bars. That is NO ONE's idea of fun. Ask your hireling, that's why they don't heal you either.
