GW Noobies <No Names Plz>

When did wammoes, i.e. warrior/monks, get access to elementalist skills? You can only have one secondary profession, can't you? Did an update slip by me?

Back on topic: There was once this guy in my guild who kept asking almost every single one of us if we could solo UW. I was stupid enough to say yes, and before I knew it he was coming along for a duo run with his fire elementalist. He thought that he would be able to nuke the aatxes, i.e. use meteor shower and FIRE STORM on them while I tanked. Seems like the AoE patch went by him un-noticed, huh? -,- Either way, he died at the first group every time, leaving me to do the rest of the run while he laid there on the ground. Because I'm a decent guy (I hate myself for that), I felt compelled to pick up and pass on any ectoes that dropped for him...

Thank goodness he didn't stay on the team for too long. I was beginning to run out of excuses for us not to go on "duo runs".

No, you're right, you can only have skills from two professions. However, just before going in to UW, it's a standard thing for one of us to loudly proclaim that my partner's char (who's usually at R/Mo) is going to take firestorm down there gets rid of the people who you don't want in the group real fast.

Talking about UW though... we ended up down there with a monk whom I doubt has any idea what certain skills are. The first indication came when, before taking aggro from anything, one of our players lost half life. This being the monk, I figured some type of energy managment, but oob normally doesn't do that much damage. Our warrior then announces he has Bip on him. The other warrior (my partner) then whinges about the lack of protection coming from that monk. So I watch him for a bit, and find him casting mending (not sure on whom though).

I've experienced a mo/me using illusion and the only heals were heals for himself at elona.. and we thought he was a real monk for a bit. A monk who casts Bip on a warrior.. and I'm waiting for the monk who takes firestorm to UW next.

i've actually got a few from just now in fow:

party 1:
the stereotypical wammo that runs around rushing, so i politely ask him if we can slow down, he retorts that i'm slow and a noob so i tell him that i need to regen energy (me being a nuker) he replies that we have a battery to which i point out that it's no good against exhaustion. less than 5 minutes later the entire party is dead and we haven't even done the first quest.

party 2:
this was fine, until all the monks left and it was just me and two wammos so we decided to go to the beach and i noticed that they both had healing breeze/mending on them.. then it got worse... i died and neither of them had a res...

in another party for fow, there was a fellow 'nuker' or so i thought, but i started checking on her and find that she only casts meteor shower, fireball and the rest are mes skills x.x then at one point people are dying and you'll never guess what she's doing... standing way out of range calling me an idiot for attempting to help kill the mobs. and once again it gets worse, when most of the party are dead she proclaims that it couldn't possibly be her fault at all because she has 1.8mil xp

another story but from my ranger in a trapper party, one of the 'trappers' only has 2 traps with him, as well as his pet and marksmanship skills.. luckily he didn't have any spirits that we needed and so it was manageable.

I took 7 cap sigs and rebirth into a UW group I paid for on april fools. They thought I was a noob, but they didnt really care because i gave all my drops away.

On the last mission i did in desert, and then in dragon cave, or whatever its called, I was group leader. I had a pretty balanced group and the mission was going pretty good, and then i realize that we have no fire shower, meteor shower or other nuker spells. so i watch the ele-- he is using a bow and all ranger bow skills no ele skills whatsoever and the really crazy thing is it happened in 2 mission, back to back, different ppl! i had another story, but i cant remember it now...

the noobiest thing ive ever saw was when a lvl17 me/r tried to trade his 3 red dyes in heroes ascent for a gold crystaline sword.
Another nooby thing ive ever seen was when aother guy lvl18 in heroes ascent said "rank 0, with 0 fame LF Exp r9+ IWAY Group! I ascended with infused armor and i got ALL 175 Attribute points."

Noobs: People who believe the only monk you can have for 2 man UW is a Mo/W
Mo/N work perfectly well

Hmm... Perhaps you need glasses or scim through your reading a little too fast.

...

...

I was on my Ele and was doing Thunderhead Keep mission (this was after the AoE nerf and before the Fire Storm buff). We had a balanced group, including a Wammo. I was playing an Air Ele. After the first few mobs, he asks me, "Why aren't you nuking?" I tell him that nuking is not that effective. He proceeds to yell at me and tells me to bring Firestorm because he uses Hamstring so the monsters will get stuck in Firestorm (like the GW box contains). I asks him what is so bad with being an Air Ele, and he says, "---- YOU, STUPID NUB!" and leaves...sighs.

Also, I was Bonding for SF farming, and the Stance Tank brought Galrath Slash, Thrill of Victory, and Desperation Blow. That might not be THAT bad, but he kept using Thrill of Victory when the target had more than 50% health...

There was this other Stance Tank, and we told him to get the gear, but he said, "No! How do you expect me to attack and kill then?!"

Then, there was this SS Necro (still Bonding SF), and in GF, he said I HAD to Barrier AND Bond everyone. I ask him why and he calls me a noob. I proceed to do that anyways, and kindly asks him for a Blood Ritual (I was maintaining 10 enchantments and my normal build had no need for Mantra of Inscriptions). He replies saying he had no Blood Ritual... I proceed to take the Bonds off (as I use Essence Bond and not Balthazar's Spirit) because the casters weren't taking enough damage for Bond to be useful and he calls me a noob for not being able to maintain 10 enchantments. Then he started yelling at everyone because they weren't doing as well as he wanted. Everyone left, but before the Healer Monk and MM Necro left, they said I was doing fine ^^. The SS was a pain...

I got a good one last night,

just in pre-searing with my Mo/Me at level 8, so decided to finish that level off with some charr hunting, the normal knock up I was using meant against most groups i could lure and end up soloing them, but to get in, you need sum1 so I grabbed myself a PuG.

He was level 6 and no second profession, but so was I the night before on my first hunt with that char, so I didnt care much, especially since he said he was going to heal / prot, which I thought was great, I could drop a few stats out of healing prayers and into smites / illusions to be a bit mroe offensive.


We got to the first group and i tell him to hang back so i can lure, he moves back, I lure them out a bit, he chargest past me with healing breeze and a prot spell on and into the crowd. Breeze ran out before he got there, and needless to say he died fast, which left me to try and take that group, without decently being able to heal / prot myself as I was expecting that from him.

I wasnt happy.

This has got me wondering......is there some arcane exploit where you can form a lvl 20 char and somehow initate a direct mind/game interface to gain the requisite knowledge to play it reasonably competently......

If not, then I suppose we were all noobs at some point. As far as I can see, what we have here are mildly amusing anecdotes about bad gameplay, and as we all know, that's not exclusive to noobs

I tend to play an ele with all mesmer skills, and though I would probably not qualify as a noob on gameplay time, I'm still learning from mistakes.

I might be considered a noob. I first let someone run me to Droks, to get myself armour.
Than I went back to Ascalon City, to do all the quests and exploring my way through the game. I quested my way to Amnoon Oasis, and now I'm stuck. I do this all with Hench, because random players are either far to low lvl for it or they don't respond to strategy tips. Nobody really cares that I'm still loading the zone (They are way to much in a hurry), and "Regen" means nothing to them.
I am not able to keep my henchies alive. They take to much damage and way to fast for me to heal them. Orison, Dwayna's, Heal other and Heal Party just doesn't cut it for me.
I'm not learning anything either. Tried different henchies, but they just take to much damage.

So, I might be considered a noob. I am not learning.

Did Hells one day to cap Mind Burn, and help out on the mission. Other 7 have never done it before. Had all the right guys, and winter too. Needless to say, they got hammered over and over and over. Sparks were destroying them, well us. I survived each slaughter though, and rez'ed the party back up. We went most of the way with 45 dp minimum. While I was on bonus lol. We finished the mission though, and bonus.

@Kitty... are you stuck trying to get to the missions, or stuck trying to do the missions? If you are in the netherlands, and Im in germany, I can help you... PM me if you want.

I am in Sanctum Cay (Distr-1), most of the afternoon.

This one time i was helping out a guildmate with the ruins of surmia mission.
A N/E joined our party.
when we started the mission i saw that the N/E had a sword and a shield equipped.

I told him (nicely) that swords an shields work best on warriors not on necro's.
So he gets a hammer out of his inventory and continues

Probably just a scammer. Some moron in LA yesterday kept trying to convince me that a Major Rune of Vigor was a fair trade for a +30 health staff wrap. When I said no way (naively assuming he just didn't know any better), he modified the trade to throw in two blue dyes

Whatta great deal, wish I hadn't passed that one up.

Anyway, noobiest thing ever: me

Yesterday I joined a team for Ice Caves of Sorrow. I confused my shield's 9 tactics requirements with my Fellblade's 12 sword requirements, set both to 9, and told the team I was ready.

I tried to fix it with 2 seconds left by taking points out of inspiration and strength, but I didn't get enough out before the mission started to fix the steep sword requirement.

I explained what I did and they were just like "well, do your best", so I told them I would just be a meatshield, which worked out okay in the end. I basically just ran around dragging mobs off the casters and taking a whipping.

Must've done something right though, because they kept me on for the Iron Mines (at which I point I fixed my reqs), and I didn't die in either mission. Even went toe-to-toe with our group's ranger against Markis so he could cap Barrage.

I believe someone has already commented on the newb vs noob thing. Nonetheles, I'm sure we've all done something very noobish at one time or another.

Biggest noob I've ever seen I saw for the first time at the Frost Gate mission. He was a lvl6 R/Mo who was advertising himself as a "great healer". The only skills he had for healing were mending and healing breeze. The group took him anyway because we were one short, the team was a complete disaster - but somehow we finished the mission and bonus

Anyhow I saw the same guy about 2 weeks later at Riverside. He was lvl13 and he was adverstising the same way: lvl13 great healer!

Mine is this:


This is in pre searing

Noob: LFR to YAKS BEND@!

At least they have a rez sig. Yesterday, accepted an invite to monk for the Nolani Academy mission. Things were going okay until the big, bad warrior insisted we do the bonus and ran, with the tome, straight into a group of about seven ghosts. Didn't stand a chance. Everyone but him goes down--he dropped the tome and ran. I was standing back, but when he ran, they all ran after him, and one crippled me before I could get away. So now he's the only one standing. Everyone says, "Rez the monk." He says, "I got no rez. I'm a warrior."

Could write a book about noobs in GW, but I'll stick to one time that's more funny than anything. When my monk went from pre to post, she was paired with an N/Me who did nothing in battle but use a sword. Needless to say, we didn't win.

One of the primary reasons I prefer henching.

OMG, maybe it was the same guy I went post-searing with!

That sounds like my noob moment. Very first character, pre-searing, doing the quest to keep Paulus alive while he retrieves the artifact from the catacombs. I didn't realize that I could use Orison of Healing on myself. I thought I could only use it to heal him. Barely survived.

Someone mentioned something about going out with several members from the same guild. I hate doing this. Often, they've discussed in advance some strategy or have specific goals in mind, and they need one or two people to round out the party. Unfortunately, they don't fill the newcomers in. You know how when you self-invite yourself and you can see the composition of the party? I wish there was a way to do this without inviting yourself first. I'd like to be able to hover the pointer over someone's head and see who's in the group. I'm too polite to back out once I've self-invited myself and been accepted, even when I think, "uh-oh" at the level 5 in the desert. It would be nice if the group composition included guilds, so I could avoid groups with more than half the members from the same guild.

BP Group in ToPK

BP Group LF Orders Nec to go

Orders self invites.

Order:OMG RANGERS?!!?!They're so useless...I'm going to leave now.
Group:...Then we spammed him ^_^

Confession time.

Last night I was in a PUG at Thunderhead Keep. We were clearing the fort, doing the upper perimeter, then to proceed down to the lower level. I was a trapper, but when not trapping, I was using Apply Poison to spread around the mobs for a little extra help. Well, up near where the King hangs out at the end, I was rapidly hitting "tab and space" to cycle through the mob. Oops, a little too quick and my last tab targeted a mob down below, and before I could stop my ranger from running toward them, I aggroed pretty much everything down there. They all came up and annihilated us, except for 2 that survived. I felt so bad.

"What happened, what happened?" I couldn't say a word, as much as I wanted to own up. Especially since we were doing great to that point and I thought I single-handedly cost us the mission. Anyways, we made it through and completed the mission fairly easily after that.

I guess I won't be so quick with my "tab space" trigger from now on.

I was solo monking for some random PUG in Hell's to help my friend out. It was going pretty good, since the necro brought blood ritual and was helping me out. We kill some sparks and a green dye drops. The group goes ahead while the 2 w/mos stay back and start haggling for the green dye, and i mean haggling. Saying offers back and forth, and comments like "gimme plx wtf noob". Well, after haggling for the dye, they decide to come and join the battle but they aggro another group onto us, and we get stomped.

That is probably the biggest noob scenario ive encountered...2 nub w/mos kill my group haggling for a green dye in hells precipace

My ultimate nub story!

This was way back when I had my first Monk (a Mo/E, I thought I could damage and heal at the same time. I learned the error of my ways before this group, however). I had just reached Amnoon Oasis, and was looking for a group to fight to Augury Rock with. So, I'm spamming for an invite, and I get one. From a group of 3 other Monks. I just laughed, but accepted anyway. The group seemed ok, we were laughing about soaking up all the monks in the area. Made it even better when we got a 5th Monk. Finally, we rounded out with a W/Mo (see? theme). Now, we're still laughing pretty hard, but we elect to prepare a bit beforehand. So, I keep my healing build, and some others opt to take prot, and I'm fairly sure at least one person said something about smiting. Everything seemed hunky dory.

After a near party wipe from the second mob, I knew something was horibly wrong. I started looking closer at the other Monks, and came to realize, quickly, that 2 were running overlapping Protection skills (one of which was mixed healer and prot at level 14), I was the only actual healer, one seemed to be leeching, and the other was the most inneffective fighter I've ever seen in my life. The wammo wasn't much to behold, but he was at least dealing damage. Too bad he couldn't take any damage, as I emptied my energy bar into him several times over.

By the 3rd group (which turned out to be the 4th and 5th groups as well) it had become very obvious that this was going to end badly. And, so it did. We died on the hill to the right of the exit to Amnoon, and never even saw the teleporter. Even with the Respawn point right there, there just wasn't enough healing to keep anyone alive, let alone a full party with +15% DP.

And here's one with my Ranger.

I was looking for an UW trapping group. I was pretty used to 4 man trapping groups by then, and I felt confident that I could aid a 3 man group. I hook up with a group totaling 5 Rangers. I'm thinking to myself "Man, this is overkill". But, since I'm not really a farmer, and I just enjoy doing it, I figure what the heck. And in we go.

After the first mob, I KNEW something was up. It was just the length of time it took to off the monsters. This was after the AoE nerf, but I had started after said nerf. I'm not too perturbed about it until after the second and 3rd groups. By that time, I've had enough. Things are getting deadly. So, I ask what everyone's Wilderness is at. One guy never responded, another said 14, another kept quiet then said 14, and the group leader said, and I quote, 12. I must have been dead tired, because this didn't set off warning alarms in my head (guess this was my own n00b moment). Well, we did manage to open the door and get over to the smites. Everyone piled up the traps and we pulled in a mob. The traps went off, and... the smites were at half health. This is where I started screaming. After a lot of running around and random trapping, we FINALLY killed them off. Now, at this point, I'm getting upset about this person with the low Wilderness (It just didn't register exactly how low for some reason) and I confronted her about this. She told me she didn't believe in Superior Runes, and that this was fine. She had, appearantly, done this a lot, and this was normal. I know better, as smites generally don't survive the first wave of trap explosions. We went on for a while, but then the deaths of others slowly took its toll (I actually didn't die, I was the only one), and there was no way the group was going to be able to deal enough damage to kill anything. It was at this point that the group leader mentioned "I should really get a mask". That set off the warning bells, and I finally understood what was going on. These people had never done this before, and were trying to just do it. I shouldn't complain, because the group leader payed our way, but even so.

Ok, my rant is done now.

Ok heres how it goes my talk with the noob of all noobs:
(as a note a am a lvl 20m with droks armour and currently in ac when this happened)

Noob"nice armour"
Me" tnx"

where did u get it?
droknars forge (i spelled it out for him)

where is that?
southern shiverpeaks

can u show me the way 2 get there?
its pretty far

can u show me the way 2 get there?
there are lvl 22 and up along the way

but cant you only get to lvl 20?
for pc's

you mean only pvp players
no all pc's

you just said enemies are lvl 22 and up
thats enemies though

can u show me the way 2 that forge place?
ugh no!!!!

soon after that i tryed to hang myself to get away from the pain.

ok in my guild we are all talking and these guys are calling one of my guildies noobs cuz they said that u can put runes on weapons..... he said theyre mods but theyre like "no such thing u put runes on weapons noob" and the whole group agreed he tells us i tell him no its not real and they start calling us profanities and saying we are dumb and all..... that was very wierd to me.... and he was farming Orozar.... i mean wow....

hm..noob moments..I think I know a thing or two about those.

For instance, while doing THK the only time, the first, on my Whammo..Somehow I never figured out to bring mending, but worse, I first brought Orison for some great healing.. and the next 14 tries I brought 3 res skills. Ressurect, Res sig, and restore life. You can't make that stuff up.

Of course, that was during a time when I thought Bane Sig was a useful damage dealer for a W/mo.

Recently, in a PuG at Vizunah Square (Local Quarter), my roommate and I joined a decently well-rounded team. Probably one of the few without 5 assassins. The team leader requested beforehand that we each call our targets, which I didn't mind.

We're getting ready to go, and I request a few seconds to switch skills (Playing a Monk--I had been smite/heal, so needed to switch to heal/protect). I barely get my skills in place, and am placing attribute points, when she joins the mission without asking if anyone in the group is ready.

Already a bit peeved at this point, I assign the remaining attribute points when we get in (luckily I had un-assigned them all before re-assiging), and we begin the mission. We get to the first mob, and the group leader (a Ritualist) begins attacking, and calling her targets. And EVERY attack. Multiple times. Basically, it goes like this:

Leader: I'm using Weapon of Quickening on Leader.
Leader: I'm using Weapon of Quickening on Leader.
Leader: I'm using Weapon of Quickening on Leader.
(repeat 35x)
Leader: I'm using Spirit of Pain.
Leader: I'm using Spirit of Pain.
Leader: I'm using Spirit of Pain.
(repeat 35x)
Leader: I'm using Orison of Healing on Tank.
Leader: I'm using Orison of Healing on Tank.
Leader: I'm using Orison of Healing on Tank.
Leader: I'm using Orison of Healing on Tank.
(repeat 35x)
Astraea Boitheia(me): Please only call once, it's causing me uber-lag.
Leader: I'm attacking Afflicted Elementalist.
Leader: I'm attacking Afflicted Elementalist.
Leader: I'm attacking Afflicted Elementalist.
Leader: I'm attacking Afflicted Elementalist.
(repeat 55x)
Astraea Boitheia(me): Please! I'm lagging terribly when you call so much!
Leader: I'm attacking Afflicted Necromancer.
Leader: I'm attacking Afflicted Necromancer.
Leader: I'm attacking Afflicted Necromancer.
Leader: I'm attacking Afflicted Necromancer.
(repeat 75x)

Finally, I lag to the point that nearly the entire team dies, when this bit starts up:

Leader: I'm dead!
Leader: I'm dead!
Leader: I'm dead!
(repeat, every 0.1 seconds, for the duration of five rebirths)

It's not like I can't read. It's also not like I didn't see the announcement the first time.

I just read through this whole thread, and, I admit, I am about to die, Im crying and laughing so hard im wheezing

My monk got her butt handed to her there over and over - with lvl 16/17 and 30ish armor. Took me 2 days to finally hack it. Against all the degen I used heal area and took orion for his firestorm (usually I avoid him, he dies too often on me). Could finally roam this part of the desert without henchies dying at all. I make a point paying attention to never attack more than one group - always brake off an intended attack immediately if new scarabs are triggered.

Needless to say this doesn't work with a PUG, even when explaining the idea. They swarm out triggering 2 or 3 groups at once, distance fighters don't close in to get the healing effect and the nuker doesn't use his area damage spell - too costly

[QUOTE=The Renegade Healer] The Wammo proceeds to call the ranger without the pet a noob because pets pwn omglolol, and you should never, ever play ranger without bringing a pet.

QUOTE]

While I believe he was a n00b...the rest of your post sounded n00bish.

Me and my buds are playing as beastmasters with our rangers and were having a blast. I'm not talking about B/P, but normal pve and pvping. Mixing up the skills to do all sorts of chaos. This was way before the new beast mastery skills came out ( which make it even better )

Only thing that made me see the light is when I was on the recieving end of a good beastmaster.

But thats why I love GW. Theres so many ways to play the game.

Hmm,...I don't think I like where this thread is going, too much latent bragging sideways...

But anyways, to avoid that, I'm gonna recount my extremely noob days.

1. I paid 500g for a runner from Ascalon to Piken
I didn't even know what running was and proceeded to follow the runner until he told me "Sit back and enjoy". He didn't even charge until Piken and didn't try to scam me. 500g for Piken, riiight....

2. Destroyed a MM's day with nooby WoB spam.

3. Used firestorm extensively on that stealthy creep-by-Mantle mission - aggroed thousands of them.

No matter I can run most maps, firestorm's gathering dust and decay and THK is stroll in a park nowdays...everyone was a newb once.

But it still seems to me most of these stories depict someone's bad day rather then extreme n00bness. We are talking of end-game content mostly and the standart builds used there (5-man oro, 55-ss, barrage/pet etc) so if someone's unfamiliar with cookie-cutter builds or the system doesn't mean he doesn't have skill or (some) knowledge enough to get out of noob stereotype. Likely, take him there twice and hell learn fast...

But yeah, there's people....1 accused me a "noob with nooby pre-sear shitty armor" (OMG LOOK AT THAT NUB WITH HIS PRE_SEAR ARMOR!!!) and kept flaming me to hell, when in fact we were in around Yak's and I had 50AL with pre-sear texture-look. Sorry for not having Droks, didn't pay to be run there....

Oh yeah, just remember a recent one (Factions): HOW DO I EXIT TOWN?!!
I tried and tried and tried to explain (even tried to get him in a party) but to no avail....

The title of this kind of sounds like a calendar theme or something, lol. Sorry, I'm getting tired.

GW Noobies 2006-07

The temple mission in Cantha, I was playing a heal monk. Took me about 2 seconds to figure out why the Wa/Mo was dying so fast.

Frenzy + Healing Signet. He would hit Frenzy, start to take damage, and immediately try to Heal Sig (even though he already had a Vig Spirit, +9 Breeze, and Healing Seed on him).

Needless to say we finished, and he of course should not have gotten credit for completion. I don't know if he was a noob, or just a griefer.

Another noob moment from that mission...I capped Arcane Languor on my Mo/Me. Nice move slick.

was getting my monk through factions, and was at the whirlpool mission where u fight Kunnavag or whatever its called. a buddy and me were takign our monks through and normally just used hench, but felt we shoudl try a pug. we find a barrage grp. 1 w/r, 3 or 4 r/x, a necro, a rit, and us as monks. ok seems like we got a tigers axe war, barrage interrupt, spiteful, spirits and heals. doing good.....

until i go to heal the warrior...... Ill call him xxx for short

xxx is using flame trap...
xxx is using kindle arrows...
xxx is using power shot...
xxx is using poison arrow...

Now i thought i clicked on a ranger by accident and healed the wrong person. it took me 3 tries to actually comprehend that i was viewing our w/r. the sad part is that we actually beat the mission and got all 3 swords...

^^^ I don't understand how that's bad if you got all 3 swords.

Anyway, my story was from last night. It was pretty ridiculous. I'm a R/A (Yes... another assassin and I'm disguised as a ranger) and I see someone say, "MONK LOOKING FOR GROUP!" So naturally, I invited him. Low and behold, he's an A/Mo. I figure, why not, I'll let him in. Got another Monk, got a few of the regular classes, a tank, etc etc.

We begin the mission. The monk aggros something, I figured it was a mistake, oh well. Let's move on. The A/Mo aggros something and dies. I have the monk resurrect him. I figure, he doesn't quite understand how to play his class yet. No worries. This goes on and finally we've spent about 20 minutes in the mission and everyone is getting frustrated. The monk keeps on charging into battle and doesn't seem to be aware that his party is taking damage. The A/Mo is trying to be the healer (I sent him to do this after he charged into battle and died a each time). I realize that it's probably not his fault, giving him the benefit of the doubt, and that the monk must be doing something wrong. I finally realize that the monk has been charging into battle and aggro'ing everything. I tell our A/Mo to stop healing him and don't even resurrect him. He's costing more power than he's worth. Sister Tai continues to resurrect him.

Yes, I know, this is ridiculous, but it happened. Finally we get to the boss and we all die. Everyone dies to Spirit Rift (including myself, couldn't get away in time). We fail the mission. So what happened? Well, we had an assassin with an identity crisis and a kamikaze monk. Needless to say, the next group I was in rocked hard. Finished the mission in about 15 minutes and got all 3 swords

Happiness points +10.

i didnt say it was bad we got all 3 swords, i said it was sad. i have pics ill show when i get home.

my story: (in a tyria jungle mission place)

n00b: I hope you die

me: I quitted the group before it started becasue by looking at the ppl level I know u can never succeed the mission.

n00b: I am not like you who play 24/7, but I am an older player than you, I played this game a year ago.

me: I don't play 24/7, whoever play this game can finish the game in a month, you are still stuck in this mission for a year means you are a n00b.

n00b:I quitted after a few days of play and came back recently, I haven't finished the missions becasue I mainly play PVP, what is your fame?

me: Well I am rank 9, what about you?

n00b: you suck

me: Rofl I am talking to a n00b who have played a few weeks and ask how much fame I have, you are truely a n00b.

Hell's Precipice:

I thought this was the time I was going to finally beat this mission. I am a monk / warrior. We just killed the first group of enemies at beginning. We killed them off fast too. I was spamming "My energy is 0 of 52!" and a stupid warrior runs off and starts up another fight. I can't heal unless I have energy numb nuts! He says sorry after I somehow managed to keep everyone alive. We move on to the next group, we kill them, then he goes off and aggros again!!! I am getting pissed. He dies after we all just stay back and watch him die (it was pretty funny). He is yelling "Heal me, Heal me!" I was laughing so hard I was crying. We all run in and fight off the rest and rez him. Then at the part where you are supposed to wait for the group to run past and then you are to run into a safe area, he runs off and aggros the whole group of around 15 and naturally dies. This guy doesn't give up. We wait for them to pass after killing him and rez him and run into the safe area and move on to kill next group. He finally listens and doesn't aggro. After we get done with bonus, he just leaves!!! That got me really pissed. I PM him and yell at him and he says "I just needed the bonus." What a jerk. I thought it was all over, but we went off and beat the mission with ease. I thought it was funny.

Two:

1) The first mission you get in Cantha after bringing over a Tyrian toon, the one where you have to keep Togo alive, etc. Myself, 2 guildies, 2 PUGgers, and hench take a swing at it ... either nobody spawns on the other side, or they stink, Togo dies, we rezone. This happens a couple times, guildies and I are chatting about how it's annoying having to retry until you get a competent team on the other side. At the third retry, the two PUGgers ragequit with a "You guys suck" message ... gotta love it.

2) When I found max purple weapons, sometimes I would save them and go to Ascalon and distribute them to the new guys, just to try and help out. Well, I advertise that I have a decent purple axe with cripple mod free to a warrior that needs it. I get a trade from a necro, and I ask

"Do you have a warrior or something as well?" (since he was N/Me)
he said "Yeah" so I give him the axe.

Once he accepts he sends a whisper "Haha, noob ... I don't have a warrior, i'm going to sell this axe for money"

So I whisper back "Um ... ok, great you tricked someone and got a 200gp axe. Congratulations on being a dumbass."

"I will get liek 10k 4 it, youll see"

And proceeds to spam the local and trade channels trying to sell it, I sat and watched amused for a while until he gave up and whispered back "Nobody wants your stupid axe"



EDIT: Earlier, in that same thread ....

Will someone please tell our friend the Renegade Healer that /rank is a PvP emote? No offense, mate, but that does make you look a tad foolish in PvE

heh.... ya know some of these newb/noob stories I can understand, but then there are just others that seem kinda cruel (like the person telling them should have been in the biggest jerk thread).

Dang some of you act like you have never in your gaming life had a noob moment *shakes head*

And Lord Iowerth I do the same thing - take and give stuff away.... a know that guy should have tried for 1-2k he might have gotten a bite lol and I agree on the rank emote.... I see someones IWAY rank flashed for the stupidest things and all I can do is laugh and shake my head.

Ah and the greatest are those of us who are infused for the Factions missions.... I still have yet to run into a monster in Factions that uses Spectral Agony *rolls eyes*

OH and even better still is when they combine the two together and you see this over local chat: "Infused Rank 6 W/Mo LFG!"
And here is where I go OMG! ARE YOU THAT BIG OF AN IDIOT! Firstly rank has nothing to do with pve and second you do not NEED to be infused.... This statement right here "Infused Rank 6 W/Mo LFG!" says one thing to me. I wasn't in a talented IWAY group, I farmed faction so I could get this nifty emote so that I never have to be newber again! -_-
