During a dragon fight this necro, who is the host, goes down and into the fade, and as soon as they do the entire game starts lagging like hell. It's like they went "Welp I'm in the fade now, time to alt-tab and start downloading HD porn"
Maybe... don't do that when you are hosting, even if you are really bored.
edit: got some funny gifs out of that deal, so I'm not that mad
After my earlier mishaps with the Frost Dragon above I decided not to give up, so I picked the Reaver again and joined a new lobby in the Fereldan castle. This one had a Virtuoso and a Hunter, I joined them halfway through zone 3 and one of them rang the gong. Things were going swell, we made our way to the 5th zone and with the Virtuoso's barriers the Frost Dragon wasn't much of a threat. I allowed myself to feel a brief sense of vindictive joy - THIS TIME we'd bring her down! And then... DISCONNECTED.
Somebody, somewhere, has made it their personal mission to prevent me from defeating a Frost Dragon as a Reaver. I'm onto you....!
I counted the despair demons on perilous castle zone 3. There were seven.
Last night´s game suddenly makes much more sense, lol
Got my third piece of dragon loot, yay! Now I have staff, longsword and bow. Still want the mace, greatsword and dagger, the others seem kinda meh. Not a fan of mauls and shield of the emperor is too damn good to be replaced.
The dragon age servers feast on your tears of sadness! Mmmm, sadness....
They also love my tears of sadness. The other night I finally got past zone 4 in perilous castle without a disconnect, CTD, lag spike pwn, or just a plain old "we all suck too much" wipe. It was a good team. We were making mincemeat of the dragon... And then the virtuoso makes my GPU start buzzing and it was ctrl+alt+delete time. ;_;
Ouch... ._. the dragon's ultimate line of defense?
PuGging with what looks to be a fairly inexperienced group.
Lego and Ele are chatting.
My Zither is giving a truly virtuoso performance across his crowd pleasing repertoire.
Lego comments that he doesn't understand why his health is coming back up.
Ele suggests it must be the sword he picked up from the last chest as it's affecting him too !
Always nice to be appreciated 
A couple of awesome virtuosos last night. Shout out to Frankenbean, can't remember the name of the other one.
Also had one game where my keeper clutched a threatening orlesian red templar pug. Not an accomplishment by any means but I bring it up because it took forever for me to finish wave 5, so apologies to my pug mates. They couldn't kill me but it took forever for my static cages to whittle them down. Funniest part is that after the RTC went down, the remaining mobs decided they wanted to be put out of their misery since they no longer chased me.

Red templars work as part of a hive-mind with the RTC as the Queen Bee = semi confirmed
I left my last PuG 'cause I heard some/one moaning. I have no idea what it was.
took down the dragon.
disconnect. of course.
took it down again
the dragon is no match for the mighty arcane warrior.
wiped on zone 5.
had two guys fighting each other.
at least i finally got a crit ring.
Some noob Assassin that didn't know how to stealth joined a game my friend and I were in. He died three times, rang the gong, died one more time, then rage quit. The story doesn't end there, my friend got DC'd and while waiting for him to come back on (before pulling any mobs), some noob Archer joins the game and immediately pulls the room, and as we get swarmed, the noob Assassin rejoins the game, only for us to wipe horribly.
took down a dragon with the archer. really quick too.
kept hitting him with leaping shot. even when he flew to the top of the tower.
and got the dragon staff. thats good hunting.
Right now, I'm playing with a guy that is among the top 10 players: I'm typing cause I'm dead while he's using the Virtuoso.
Wondering why he's focussing more on DPS instead of on the barrier.
People should really understand that Virtuoso is firstly a SUPPORT class, not a dps one. If you dps AFTER you gave me the barrier, I'm okay with that, but not if you rather to DPS than to protect others.
Was playing reaver had cool virtuosa who kept sing along up. Blew threw first 3 zones dragon rage facerolling.
Everyone dcd, host migration. Party filled instantly. Noone listened to the come to me for zone 4 los strat. All 3 new members died within about 30 seconds standing in the middle of the room. Almost soloed it, shadows > 30% hok.
Yay pugs! Mind you im at about 45 perilous dragon kills about 40 of which were pugs.
Well, that was interesting.
Zone 4 FC Threatening and not only are all the enemies invisible (to me, at least), but the end of the Zone was Narnia. Speaking of, why is it that it is possible to fall through the map on FC (via holes in the floor, etc) but not on any of the other maps? Either way! I get back from almost getting stuck in a hole in the cliffside in Narnia to find my teammates are taking damage. Figuring no one else can see the enemies, I stand in the middle of the wide open spot and spam my aoe damagers (on Avaar, so...Go Team!) Die a couple times, feel a little confused when the key drops and half the team somehow manages to not only get the door open, but avoids Narnia entirely, leaving me free to join them on Zone 5 (where we didn't bother summoning the Frost Dragon). I thought 'Great! Escaped Narnia and the Invisible Horde, it's clobbering time!'
I could only see the Stalkers after they ran through the DF the Keeper threw up. And only the Stalkers.
Buggiest match I've had in a while.
had a PuG with three Zithers and me (Belinda)...
I never had so much Barrier in my life
odd thing though: no party banter ... the Zithers talked with each other but Belinda was awfully quiet 
FC Threatening, Zither + Lego/Temp/Ass.
Lego is spamming at the gong.
Use your own Dragon Call if you're keen, is my reaction.
Zither attempts double revive in the open as others go down.
Skewered by archers. 
Lego stands AFK at start of zone, soon dies.
Glad I didn't spend Dragon Call

This happens a lot, most of the time I don't mind using them, (I crafted about 20) but only if I think the team will actually make it, also, on Routine and Threatening its not really worth it, best you can get are Blue items (I think)..

I can understand what you are saying but you should never rely on any class to keep you alive and if you are dead you are to blame 1st and for most for some mistake or other.
My last game was the 'worst game ever' (said in comic book guys voice).
Dragon level I am playing as a Zither, there is another zither in the group and an elementalist and a AW. The frame rate slow down was ridiculous. I should have quit the game but one of the guys had used the dragon gong so I tried to hack it out. After an long long battle I got killed by two vent assassins. A team mate came over twice to try and rez but the frame rates are so bad it was not possible so off to the fade I go, then another went down. Then the last two battled for about 15 minutes before they went down. While I'm waiting for the failed screen my guy suddenly pops up with full health. I go scrambling to get the barriers song going but can't get it up in time and die again this time for good.
It hasn't taken long but I already hate the dragon level. Not the dragon fight itself, not the layout which is nice but the ridiculous number of enemies in the wave after the gong. It's lame and boring.
One this is sure, if I try and join a game and there is more than one zither or a zither and another hi resource class like and elementalist, I'll quite the lobby immediately.

If there's a zither at all in a castle lobby I'm joining and it's not the host, I quit right away. 90% of the time zither makes the host crash (on ps3 at least).

This is exactly so. Each class has a primary responsibility to protecting their own ass, first.
A support Zither is helping other classes to kill faster and more safely at the expense of their own safety, but that's not the only build.
And I won't take Zither into a lobby with another Virtuoso already present.
Retour en haut
