Default FoWsc- The easiest thing ever...yet people fail hard.

Post your rage stories about pugs that fail hard at FoWsc and UWsc.

People seem to fail mainly due to inexperience in PUGs. Most of the pros have dedicated SC guilds and do it in record times (12 mins FoWsc is quite possible with them i think).
Only thing that goes wrong in FoWsc is the SF sins. 70+ runs never saw main team fail except once when the Rt failed to bodyblock at first tower. As for rage (and fun), seeing 3 sf tanks die in the same spot after chest spawned is priceless.

- True Story: Someone thought UWsc meant just "Clear the Chamber" as fast as possible. Left after using consumables too.

Isn't bragging about epeen the only thing that's left to do in GW?

Occasionally paying e-chicks to stroke it as well? Extra points if they're naked ele's.

As already said, this thread is pointless.

Even people willing to learn FoW/UW will 'fail' at it the first few times, and inevitably cost the group a wipe. Those not willing to learn, what do you expect?

We don't need more threads where people whine about others.

Isn't that what people do in Grotto? Or has that changed since last I played now?

If speed clears fail so often, you could try to find a speedy balanced set up or at least try heroes, but of course that'd require understanding of the game instead of looking up on PvX.

I don't know why ppl drop stuff just to show e-peen off. A guy dropped an IG in FoW about a year ago and I nearly got to it

I don't feel this thread is bragging or epeen I think it's just about funny stories. I haven't done a FoWSC in a long time but one funny thing that happened often was T2's complaining about how bad the main team was for not ressing them after they fail. I had to have heard it on nine or ten runs.

I'm sorry, but I thought Chabek Village in NM with fully pimped out heroes was "the easiest thing ever" in GW.

FoW is actually pretty easy except Speed Clear groups... the experienced ones at least, tend not to know how to beat content when new players don't follow the exact same gameplay scenario the PvX wiki builds have laid out for them.

In almost every single failure with a PuG and a speed clear I have seen the problem is the person messing up is expected to know or do somethign they either don't know about or don't know how to do. It's because the SC group assumes everyone is going to do the same thing everyone else does on every single run which, quite frankly, is stupid. Because experienced SC teams are used to and expect everything to play out the exact same way every single time, they become retarded when it doesn't quite work out that way.

If your group is failing, look at the whole group as part of the problem, it's usually not a single person who could have avoided a wipe. SC groups in GW are almost as bad as monster AI.

everyone makes mistakes from time to time. No reason to rage about them.

I didn't know it was possible to be pro the moment you installed GW for the very first time. I also didn't know that for some players like yourself, failure doesn't exist. What I do know is there are people who think they are the best and everyone around them sucks. OP are you this person?
