Another evening of fun PUGs.  Except for some random reason I got two red skull eviction notices from random players I have never encountered before in a lobby AFTER we completed a run ... no idea why since I was pulling my weight.  The third player didn't vote to evict me so we went on to clear 4 stages of the next run just the two of us (before dying very unceremoniously to growling breather mask dwarfs on stage 4.)  Maybe because I was level 19 and it was a Threatening run?  I've never been booted from a group and I am certainly not a terrible player or a sucker.  If I happen to get dropped in on stage 5 ending flag I ALWAYS stick around for the next mission, out of courtesy.

 

However I am now completing Perilous runs without using potions and without dying so much (note I said "so much" - I still die.  Regularly.) ... so I feel better with each day.  :)

 

 

Recently I have had the same thing with the kick skull from two particular players who I won't name just in case they read this site. For some reason they just don't like me and I have noticed they seem to be very selfish players when they play, Won't stop to open treasure rooms even after level is cleared, even if they are not the leader, they will go on to the next stage even if the three other players want them to not go. They are probably more interested in leveling up than actually playing for the sake of playing which is fine but not fair to other people who actually enjoy playing.

 

Also I have noticed there are some "cliques" here and there but I don't care. If they want certain people to play the should have a private game and just invite them.
 

I heard two different blokes in two different matches who came on the mic and had a hissy fit cuz no one would talk to them. Right in the middle of the game they BOTH said "since no one is talking to me I am just leaving!" And they sounded really effing butt hurt. Almost "unstable" if you know what I mean.

 

Have received a few really nasty, hate filed messages from players as well for no apparent reason. Trolling I am sure bit sad as most people are very cool and just enjoy playing. I see a lot of the people in the top 30-ish playing down on Threatening and having a good time as the rest of us. I can also tell they are holding back so other people can play. So, two ends of the spectrum I suppose, the really good and socially adept people and the bitter, ugly trolls who get there kicks being douches while playing DAI-MP.

Jumped into a public perilous to promote my 19 and Autumn Witch was there.

Cleared zone 4 and Host wanted to go back for door , which is fine, so me and another guy waited as it was a free door.

Host puts a red skull on us both ......for being afk? I presume.

Then as we zone to 5 ...host migration.

Guess he was annoyed at something.

Might have been some speed runners I guess?

Even for the speed runners, if you are in a group with clearly competent and highly skilled players, why not give them the <1 minute to clear out the 1-2 treasure rooms. They are the reason you are flying through the match to begin with, and obviously they will not dilly dally. I would be more than happy to be grouped with smurf and witch any day. Some people are so fixated on saving 20 seconds on a round they are ignoring the benefit of being partied with powerful players, and so they should be put in 'time out.'

That is actually pretty funny about people having hissy fits since noone will talk to them.. sad, but funny.

 

Hate filled messages?  What the....  strange people in the world I guess.

Use the necromancer and don't dispatch your pet so they can't continue.. :: chuckle ::

Oh that's so evil.....

 

But seriously once in a while, I would see a new Necro who didn't know the key was not dropping because she didn't dispatch the pet.  One time there were 3 of us... surrounding her pet and stabbing at it.   It took like 10 sec.. but finally she realized it.   This game made you a better charades player!

 

If you want a different glyph.. just stop in front of the saarebus and jump up and down.

If the treasure door bugged out, just stand in front of it and stab at it...

- If the treasure room is cleared and you want the guy near the Font room to pull the group click F2

"We need to retreat!" :lol:

*shake head*... wrong game! :P   Charades!  You just run inside the treasure room in circle until the other guy realized you are not doing anything useful....

 

 

But speaking of F2... sometime it has the opposite effect.  The archer would say something like "This does not look attainable.."  And some newer players would think you need help and run back to the treasure room... :P

That and some of the phrases don't even make sense.  I think the Alchemist says something like " I'll be over here! ", rather than " retreat "

Yeah and one of the Virtuoso's F2 is "Group Hug!"  So naturally you want to run toward him... because who doesn't love hugs? <3  But then it was F4 that said "Group Hug"... can't really remember since I rarely play him. ;)

F4 is "Group Hug" ;) he'll also say that if he's running with the Veilfire Torch ;)

All these posts about "AW with Stormpact is awesome"-posts made me want to try something.

 

 

I admit the barrier generation is great, but it is SO stressful.

Fixed that :P :lol:

(I did use the Stormpact before, in a group, I can't rezz with a pact belt, that annoys me I WANT TO HELP MY TEAM! NOT WATCH THEM BLEED OUT! :lol: )

 

Edit: My go-to mage for NM (in a group) is my Ele, what do I need a barrier, if I can set everything on fire. :whistle:

Keeper in HB is fun  :ph34r:

Yeah, that bothers me too, but I keep some stone armor potions around for that.  Take a pot shot around to get your barrier up, then chug a potion, and that works okay.
