Here's some tips on becoming a pro exp no noob 'uwsc'er
Make your own guild and put the tag [UWSC]
Show off your lowest rank title. Kurzick/Luxon Supporter (1) is the best, if you have it.
Advertise yourself as such: "pro exp no noob no fail lfg!!!"
You should get a group easily with all those credentials. Now once you're in a group, and the cons have been collected for, don't scroll in, especially if you're the leader. Let someone else cave in and spend their 950g scroll.
Ok, you've entered UW. Likely the chamber will fail somehow and the necro will die right off the bat, so make sure you don't bring rez scrolls. Bank on someone else having them, or having to restart if the necro dies. This is most important if you're the vale sin. Don't try and protect the necro either by bodyblocking the aatxe that's coming for the necro. Any good necro can just tank it.
If you're the chamber, die as many times as possible and hopefully the vale team isn't able to save the lab reaper.
If you're mtns and the way into the mtns is blocked, leave it, so when pools, plains and pits come, they all explode in the traps.
If you die as pits on the way through mountains, it must be pools or plains fault.
If you die in the pools, blame it on the charged. They can be so darn tough sometimes, especially if you like to agro all of them.
If you're vale and you fail, blame it all on the other guy and make sure it's in caps so everyone takes your side.
If you're super pro, then come in as mtns, die early, go afk and just leech.
Don't bring a BU. better that your team cannot finish then you having to spend 4k.
The golden rule: if you do fail, blame it on someone else. If its obvious its you, unplug and replug your ethernet cable back in, blame it on lag, ask what district it was that you entered and vow never to use that district again.
If all else fails, just leave.
During 4H, get sig hummed, and act surprised, then blame it on the necro for not teleporting fast enough
If you're the leader, and you or your guildy fails, zone the team out quickly so no one knows who failed and everyone blames each other.
Promise you'll pay someone back if they use a BU, then leave and don't pay them.
If you do somehow get the end chest, grab it quick and kill the ice king before others have the chance to open it. This is especially effective if someone is in a tough spot and needs some more sins to take the agro away before he auto rezzes.
Teleport your team at some random time and pretend it wasn't you.
If the team tele's to plains to do 4H, farm the riders nearby the plains reaper and bring agro to the reaper.
Find a creative way to kill the pools or mountains reaper.
Don't bring any extra money to pay people back if you fail.
Bring glyph of swiftness so you can farm after everyone else dies/cons run out.
Don't ever resign, ever. it's a sign of weakness.
Blame bodyblocking and rubberbanding on lag.
Change your name so there is an X at the beginning and end, like X Amazing X.
There it is. I think I covered most of it. If I missed any tips, feel free to add them.

Thanks for all the helpfull advice 
on a slightly more serious note any advice for someone (me) who is used to doing chaos planes solo (with con + fire) and wants to give UWSC a go?
I dont have a guild (well I do but i t has 3 members) because I play on and off and most guilds don't like that. So no pro guildies to go with then.
what might be a good option to choose easiest/most similar to solo chaos, (will the build allow me to practice first i.e. kill grasps and run where i need with no help?)

If you are a vale sin, make sure that you didn't bring any res scroll, and refuse to take one from the necro...
If you are a vale sin, just mess up the chambers aggro, to make the mob kill the necro - or, if the chamber is "too" fast, even kill the reaper...
If you are a vale sin, just collect all the graspings to the wrong side of the house, and watch them go to bangreap apart the necro, as he is stucked there because of the UWGS quest...
of course blame the necro all the time...
Yeah - You can guess: I play UWSC with my necro...

This actually added a small laugh to my evening.
Although, I am most upset that you forgot:
Once you've entered, ask everyone where the rest of the main team are for a fast FoWSC.

Few more tips:
Pay 850 for cons instead of 1k
Don't body block at the start, be sure to run to the door so you can get super-fast time
Agro the charges coming down at the beginning of mountain, because that makes the run through more interesting
Get crippled often, and demand an escort from the other terras
Vale team be sure to not take restore as this will make doing mountain impossible, giving him time to farm elsewhere
Pools be sure to kill every charged blackness because they drop ecto
Pits if you kill an allied spirit then blame the fail on vale team, even if vale quest is complete (and vice versa for vale).
Wastes, after you die from smite hex, inform the team that the coldfires and smites are glitched and fighting each other so death was unavoidable
Mountain, if you fail, tell your team you have a 7-stack of behemoths or that mountain is blocked (they will most likely resign at this point)
If you see someone killing terrorwebs run up next to them for lava font and to help
If you die during 4h, you call it a shadow form glitch

1: All the other teammates are noobs without any doubts.
2: You can never fail. If not, ragequit and apply the first law.
3: You are the only player with lags, glitches and parent spikes. If not, apply the first and second laws.
Manage to kill your reaper once your area is done so you can blame all the other noobs, hey you did your job...

1. Use a BU when it isn't needed, and demand everyone to pay for it.
2. Die,watch other people and complain how slow they are going.
3. Bring your l33t weapons into UWSC so everyone knows how cool you are.
4. As the vale support, go afk right before the group teleports because people need to be rezzed.
Meh, all I can think of right now. I'm bitter too. I stopped pugging UWSC a while ago, and since my friends and I don't do it anymore, I really just don't do it.

Me likes this thread. It's funny because it's true.
My input: Once cons have popped, ask for directions to your area.

Don't forget when someone asks for everyone to pay 1k instead of 850, to complain about the 150 difference and then say to the person with cons 'But it's only 150g, who cares'. This has quite the opposite effect of making you look like a tool.
IronSheik
Say you have a BU then when someone else asks you to use it either demand 5k or say you forgot

blame the necro...it's always his fault.
vale sin is at the house aggro'ing and i'm casting all my spells and he cacks and tells me he got 'e-burned' wtf? how about paying attention to your sf douche bag.
...yes I got all CAPPED blamed for vale support

That happened to me before too. It looked like they were in the normal spot, but they definitely were not!

You can bet.
Nothing like a good laugh to start the morning!

This thread is more funny because most of the people here think it doesn't apply to them, and in at least half the cases, it does.
Good thing I don't pug UWSC! Zonk

Remember to always be baited into fights over terrible insignifigant details (LOL NOOB I DO MY RUN IN 8 MINUTES ROFL 12 MINUTES SO BAD). Now your only option here is to spend the next 5 minutes arguing, then obviously kill a Reaper because this is a totally orginal and witty concept. Forget that there are 6 others in your group who have been trying to calm you down while handling there own areas, no one gets to call you bad at this game! You're god damn R4 Kurzick!

Take "Unwanted Guests" from lab when vale isn't ready ^_^ priceless...
Bunch of aataxes spawn on them

Basically say you have cons, take money from everyone for cons then leave the group and enjoy your 7k
 Happened to me once, mad laugh, well worth losing 1k BadgerzFTW

Good point there. Hate this. So, in tip format here:
If you're going to start a group, make sure you have NONE of the following: Conset, Backup, UW Scroll, Rez scroll. |
