This stuff is funny, but I'm lucky I'm in a guild that's patient and teaches you all of the positions. And no one ever rags on anyone if they die. We all try and tele to the affected area to rez and cover for each other. You know that won't happen in a pug, you'd be left to die while other sins zone into your area to farm and leech off your carcass.

Backups are for panzies.

The Necro can rez himself, no need for a scroll.

Why bring IAU if you're Pits?! I'm sure the tele over the bridge is more important than actually GETTING there.

Go afk in the middle of a CB spawn because you have to go get the fricken phone or your dog is barking.

Don't forget the Golden Rule! It's NEVER you're fault.

I vote to move this to the Off topic and absurd, dont close it cause it seems off the topic of farming (or may... though actually it isnt off topic)... Keep it around, its funny. Guild wars needs some funny to cut through the bordem and the "drama" that insues on a daily to possibly HOURLY basis ^^

Another tip. If finished with your area and you have the back ups. go afk for a bit, the group will be done (hopefully) when you get back. if not you and nothing fails completly. you can stay in and farm!

This is my favorite:

Being chamber and dropping a stack of useless quest items around the final chest spaw.
I've done it a few times, made a guild team fail to avoid dealing with it.

When creating a pug, make sure you have loads of the following: "PRO" "EXP" "ONLY EXP" "NO NOOBS" "FAILER PAYS CONS" "NOFAIL" "XXXXX&@^@%%#@@" in your party searching!

And Jesus Christ, DON'T EVER FOR ANY SECOND THINK THAT GIVING OUT TIPS/HELP WOULD BE PRODUCTIVE. Giving out a tip is like shooting someone in the dick. Instead, gentle encouragement such as:
PAY CONZ NOOB OMFG U R HORRID MY UNCLE WORKS FOR ANET UR BANNED IF I WASNT DEAD ID TOTALLY CLEAR MY PLACE FASTER THAN U NOOB
Can go a long way to make a succesful run for everyone.

A few more:

1.) Lead the group. Ask the group if anyone is of a particular nationality that is non-English. If so, boot, since these non-speaking English people always cause problems. Politely ask everyone to only speak English.
Then in UW, proceed to chat to your guild buddy in non-English.
2.) Insist that you are wearing the right armour then proceed to run with pieces not akin to Shadow Arts.
3.) Type in "I'm using Flare on Obsidian Behemoth!" and pronounce you is so leet, any skill works.

I had hair when I started doing these runs too....

I think I'm going to favorite this thread, the FoWSC one too. After putting up with so much stupidity day in and day out, I need something like this...

My contribution:

Complain that the Vengeful Aatxe's just won't die while staring at the Keeper of Souls, who happens to also be alive.

I love how UWSC is a huge quest for ULTIMATE POWER and EPICFASTPROCLEARZ when clearly, the ones who are faster than everyone else gain no acknowledgment whatsoever.

If someone says "Mnts done" after 6 minutes and you check the quest log and see it's actually done, don't reply.

If someone says "Wastes done" after 20 minutes, reply "OMFG SLOW WASTES OMGGG BL"

1 more,

if you 're the chamber sin, get your aggro in the chamber where the reaper spawns not to far, so when the vale necro pass, you run back a bid, so he takes the aggro.
(ofcourse blame the necro that he was an stupid dumbass who lurd your aggro... =S

1 thing i don't agree with


pits blame pools and plains when dieing on way to plains entrance


if pools or plains are so retarded thinking it's a rat race and want to go first
they set up traps & lure the 2 mobs of charged darknesses

and let pits survive with while crippled, shocked. with only dc


PITS NEEDS TO GO FIRST DUMBASSES, IF HE IS BEHIND WAIT FOR HIM OR PUT A SHOVEL UP YOUR ***

ot: ask free cons as vale sin. thats pro

UWSC is a play. The goal is to have as much drama as possible.

Haha I love this thread, always so funny to me.
(Here's my shot at this)

When you enter the UW and you are the chamber grab all aggro and bring it to the vale necro, if he says hes pro, he can handle it

You are only pro in UWSC if you dance armor-less with 6 charged blackness's around you

Go in as a A/Me and clear the plains; say your the chamber but actually go to plains. Cryway ftw. If you fail, naturally blame the plains terra

Bring all aggro to the reaper when spawned, he's lv. 28, he can handle it

When you enter say "Who are T1 and T2?"

Activate 5 sets of consets at the same time: The effects multiply

When you enter and the conset is activated say "Isn't this the dragon arena?"

When you are pits and a A/D, bring avatar of balthazar. Its 1337

If you are pools or mountains wait until all quests are done except yours and say, Ok guys where are the luxons/kurzicks? I'm set up for a moebis spike

After a party wipe blame the person who has the weakest self-esteem

Be a A/Mo and say it is the new 1337 and when you zone cast retribution on all chars

If your the chamber and just finished the 1st quest take unwanting guests early, it brings in lv. 50 reapers to the uw. Oh, and the vale team might die when you do this

Be a A/R and try and outtrap the behemoths

When your pools dont kill the terrorwebs, kill the blackness's. Then the quest will spawn

Spam "I'm a barbie girl" lyrics throughout your run

If using vent, sing I'm a barbie girl lyrics throughout the run

After zoning and conset is activated, say "wheres justicar, i dont see him"

Be the ultimate 1337 player and run to your area with no sf. You will be highly praised

Bring a dagger build, its more effecient then silver

this kind of made me laugh:

in a recent run, the pits sin followed me (vale) and the necro around for like 5min without saying anything, and then he just left.

1) Chamber: Run off to take the Clearing The Chamber quest as soon as you zone in, the fact that you were out of reach when cons were popped isn't your fault, you just wanted to break your speed record.

2) If you're a vale sin A/N always use Chillbains 1 second after the necro has used it, that is really useful.

3) If in the chamber there is the rare occasion when 4 Dying Nightmares pop up, don't tank them for necro to kill after Aatxes and Graspings are dead, he can manage himself.

4) Demand free cons when your guildie starts a new group. He should pay you to not take initiative.

5) When someone dies, start ragetyping until you die yourself, then say you took screenies and you're blacklisting everyone in the group. When someone say: "Did you take screenies before or after you died yourself", shoot yourself in the face.

6) If you're vale necro, take Escort of Souls before Restoring Grenth's Monuments, just to shake things up.

7) If you're chamber, take UWG just as necro is running through the corridor, it's his own fault 'cause he's so slow and you're so leet (preferably typed 1337)

8) Talk in All Chat without anyone knowing you're doing it and everyone having All Chat muted, then ragequit after 10 minutes 'cause no one responds. (True story, we found out by Pming him and asking him why he quit)

9) If you're wastes and you die, just tell them Smite Crawlers used Smite, that was such a surprise who would think a SMITE Crawler would use SMITE?

While reading this thread I noticed Tripolytix (or w/e the spelling is) also follows it. I used to be in the EcTo alliance with Trip (WORST ALLIANCE EVER) and have a hilarious anecdote on him.

I started this "alliance only" UWsc group (first run with alliance) and Trip came and kept saying he could only do Chamber, so I'm like: OK, idc as long as you do a good job.

This other guy also read that and starts spamming alliance chat "TRIP CAN ONLY DO ONE AREA, THREE AREA REQUIREMENT, KICK HIM"

Anyways, we go on our run (with Trip and this dude), turns out Trip eventually ends up doing Mnts and covering the area of this spam dude, and the spam dude (that failed) has the audacity to say: "Omg, you lied about what areas you know, lying noob!!" He starts spamming TRIP IS A LYING NOOB on chat. Priceless imo, that just sums up what retarded douches do UWsc, and why I'm starting to hate it.

PS: To Trip: The joke where you keep going "How do I stop behemoths using Healing Spring?" and then clear mnts in 9 minutes gets old really fast, especially when everytime someone says uwsc you go "What is uwsc?". Get new jokes, mate

No offense, but back off Trip back.
That is only dude that I`ve seen fails 1/100 runs, and do usually mnts <<10minutes. Yes you can do it, but doing it 20x in a row under 10 minutes is thumbs up.

Lol I love this. I just not saw this thread and its hilarious. My favorite people of all time.
Me: "Why did you die?"
Them: "I got bored of this."
Me: "So 5 deaths in a row are because you got bored?"
Them: "Yeah duh hahaha roflmao haha I got all you newbs hahaha. I'm so leet. Yay. I can do this easily but I am bored so I am dying to make you all mad."
Me: "First... you're a newb and can't really run this and second... I will never run with you again."

Btw that person was in the [Ecto] alliance which I do believe is filled with pathetic players. When you confront them about failing they say "Wtf! You're the newb. My alliance will BL you and you will never get to do UWSC again."

Then they proceed to giving me a shitty excuse that is one that has definitely been listed already in this thread.

Recently I had someone join my pug group with a few guildies in it. He didn't say what his area was and just scrolled in even though we were 7/8. Then we noticed after we all died he was using a solo chaos planes build. Funny stuff. Sad part was he went the wrong way

1. Go into a group posing as a A/mo Pits,,,, when you get in a cons are popped, use divine seed and patient spirit, then ask wtf is wrong?

2. Vengeful Aataxe need 100 slivers to kill, YOU MUST STAND FOR ALL OF THEM.

3. If someone dies,,, always announce that you brought a rez sig.

4. Collect for cons, then put up a red rock candy,,,, and then ....... Lol
