    Default Just another typical Khyber thing

    *Sees LFM for new quest in my level range, clicks join...

    'Hello, I'm new to this quest and haven't done it before'

    'Thats ok, it's pretty easy, just have a FF item and follow'

    *Continues to remind people at least 3 times that it's my first time in what turns out to be a raid*

    Leader reminds group after it fills that there are a couple of first timers to the quest, after which I type '<---- This guy noob'

    .... 15 mins later ...

    Sorry that your group either didn't explicitly explain that only the tank should be with the dragon, or that you didn't hear/read it. I've seen this very scenario happen several times. I have no idea how players new to Killing Time always manage to pick the Tank to follow. There are literally 10 other players they could have followed, but they always end up on the island with the tank and usually dead.

    Out of honest curiosity, what was your thought process when you decided to go to the island with the dragon virtually all by yourself? Did you wonder where the rest of the party was? Did you happen to ask in voice or chat?

    First sorry that you ran into that. It seems like the party started to communicate with you. In that they told you what you needed. It seems odd that they didn't tell you where to go/who to follow. Are you sure you didn't miss this?

    My thoughts as well, this coming from a person that has been leading raids, including teaching raids and non-teaching raids with new players for a very long time.

    At least half of the rest of the group was also there so I followed?

    Then people in voice chat were complaining where 'everyone else' was at the TOD like fight.

    Also I already went up to and went through the green portal once and it simply took me back to the start of the map not to the place I was meant to be, so after that I followed the next person I saw that took me to the dragon, which is what I'm assuming the rest of the people there also did.

    Then someone said we were meant to go through the portal so I did so again and it put me in the right place.

    Fortunately though I now made my own solo guild so I'm no longer an embarrassment to other guilds.

    So actually thinking about it seems like at least half of the group were new to the quest but only two of us admitted it.

    That's really strange. Either 1) the portal was bugged and it wasn't letting people in, 2) the TOD fight was done and it wasn't letting players in, or 3) you guys were all somehow at the wrong portal.

    If half the party was with you, at that point you weren't doing anything that wrong. I've never waited around to see if I can portal into the TOD fight once it has already started so I'm not sure if there's some lock out mechanism.

    Hum well

    1) Either 1/2 the party where to embarressed to admit that they did not know the quest either or
    2) They were playing Music and not listening to voice chat or reading party chat (I had this happen in a group once and after about 6 tells to the person they told me what they was doing)
