Another FOW failure story.

I'm doing my usual Sunday morning PUG FoW run - actually it was 2 guildies (both were monking), a friend of one and a couple PUGs. We had a wammo who kept attacking through SS, and our healers were starting to get annoyed. Ensues a fight between the healers and the wammo, who then rages after saying that "attacking through SS didn't matter".

(Off-topic: Oh wow déjà-vu feeling).

After the wammo rages, it goes calm again; we're taking MUCH less damage. I noticed one of our ursans acting weird and rushing around, but at first I thought he might simply not be careful... until I realized that:
a) I'm seeded, and both my healers haven't used it (we're on vent)
b) the monk ursan is now standing RIGHT beside me, after having used Ebon Escape, not in ursan... while I'm triggering pops
c) he's healing from the middle of the mob.

I tell that to my guildies, who are getting annoyed already - they saw it as well. We tell the monk, who then goes back in ursan without saying a word. Regularly, he accuses a wammo of aggroing stuff while HE's the one doing it. It doesn't help that we reach the hour mark right after Army of Darkness and that the ursan monk keeps aggroing stuff and blaming it on the warrior.

By Wailing Lord we have more than enough. I equip a bow to pull the shard wolf, but the ursan monk rushes in and gets killed, sending some of the aggro our way. As usual he blames the healers (yeah, try to heal an overextending caster with 3 mobs on him). We half-wipe, recover, kill the wolf, res the guy (our mistake) and move onto griffons.

Monk ursan stays with griffons (second mistake). And you can see it coming. We aggro, get a partial wipe (gotta hate people who aren't ready and never say a thing), so he comes back to us to res, then goes back to griffon. Everything goes nice... until we reach last mob. I get spiked and die, one of the healers is lagging, the other is starting to get pissed off at the ursan monk who keeps insulting us in team chat ("fu monk, my seed is better then urs, last 4 seconds, u all suck, fu, die all"). Okay sometimes we DID reply back, especially me, but I never told him to go **** himself or whatever.

Then it happens. We see the ursan monk coming back to us, griffons following him. There's another one alive but he has no res available. Ursan monk lets the griffons die; I was about to report him for verbal abuse (he was pretty much spamming them) but I missclicked and reported my friend instead (we were on vent and rather laughed about it though, I still feel bad lol). When I clicked to report the dumbass, he already had raged.

We got kicked. ONE. MOB. AWAY from the end.

I say I go mad but I'm -nowhere- near what the guy sounded like in team chat. Some people need anger management.

EDIT: Expect another one next week.

I was doing my hero's handbook NM and needed destructions depths ( i know bad thing to pug) anyway i pugged. No Monks joined so we brought 2 hero monks both running decent builds, now me and the warrior were the only two who did it before and the other people followed our orders to do this and that and went smoothly, we also had the ele bring rez ( you know why not) during the run it went smoothly, ele died a few but nothing that set us back, now being the ursan at disc of destruction i blocked the disc on the steps along with the golems and it was controlled, so great run by these first timers very nice very nice,

Also im 13 so we arent all bad :P

LOL, Kusandaa. We should get together sometime. I have a ton of good FOW stories too. That place just seems to attract all the idiots. Maybe it's because that's the place where all the Wammos go when they die according to lore.

Fluffy Butt · May 12, 2008, 10:59 PM // 22:59

*Ring of Fire Mission*
Me: Monk
*We made it to the blockade with the mursaat is waiting for us.*
Me: I don't think we should go through. Those 2 ethers seals will own me, w/o Heal boon, I'm useless.
Other Monk: Relax, I got everyones back.
Me: "My energy is 28 of 55"
W/E: *Charges in* "I'm casting Meteor Shower on Ether Seal!"
Healing Rit: Wait! Wait! wait!
Healing Rit: Wait! Wait! wait!
Healing Rit: Wait! Wait! wait!
Healing Rit: Wait! Wait! wait!
Other Monk: "I'm using Mind Freeze on Ether Seal"
*They both charge in along with their heros, and aggros the wind riders and mursaats. They Die instantly. Me and the Healing rit ran along with one other person that didn't Charge.*
Other Monk: WTF U NOOB, WHY DIDNT U HEAL ME?????????
Healing Rit: We weren't ready.
W/E: Got rebirth?
Me: I have Resurrection Chant.
W/E: What kind of monk doesn't have rebirth?
Me: I use Healers Boon and Holy Haste, for fast healing and rez during a hard fight. I don't run into death trap.
W/E: F**KING NOOB
*W/E Rage Quites, the person that was with us leaves to*
Other Monk: Noob, my build is better than urs (He/she has mind freeze)
*Other monk rages quits and takes his hero with him*
In the End: The healing Rit and I heroway it. Did it under 20 minutes.

Abbadons Mouth

Me: Summoner (A build that I made, kicks butt, Norn tournament, I've beaten over 20 times in 2 hours $$$$$)
*The Beginning: GLF more! 7/8, NO BONUS (Takes forever)*
*95% way through mission, about 45 minutes later (Lots of Deaths, 1 people didn't have max armor and 2 people forgot to get infused) we make the way to the 6 seals*
ZB Monk: is this bonus?
Me: No
ZB Monk: WTF I THOUGH WE WERE DOING BONUS?!
Leader: I spammed it, pay attention.
*ZB monk Rage quits right before the seals. (Note, the most amazing thing happens) We all but me (Thanks to leader) dies. I had at least 30 health and 2 energy before my "Insert Skill Here" kills the last seal. With force of habit, I click the skip button. So did everyone else (BIG MISTAKE) We all had 1 health and 1 energy after the scene. (If we didn't skip, we would have regenerated) The titan charges and kills 5 people by touching them. His first target was me, hits me and I died. The monk runs but the titan chases after and died. The last person didn't have rez. We lost. The wammo said noob mes, get a good build and leaves the team. The leader kicked me and later whispers me. "I'm sorry, my guildly wont fight with someone who doesn't show their build."*
*I want to keep this build a secret. $$$ in norn tournament = more people will do that = Anet will nerf it.*
*2 minutes later my rit friend came on. Heroway it and beat in under 20 minutes.*

Hell's Precipice

Me: Summoner

*I got my rit friend and beat it in 25 minutes. However, I could not sell my Talisman so I went back to get good daggers for my Sin.*

Me: Summoner

Me: We got winter
Ranger: Yep, got it.
Leader: Don't bring it, winter sucks
Ele: I need winter, my SF will be useless here w/o it
Leader: Winter doesn't do anything
Ele: Yes it does, makes a big difference
Ranger: Should I bring it?
Ele: Yes
Leader: No
Me: Yes
Leader: OMFG, don't bring it. It did nothing. It doesn't change attacks to cold damage, i see no difference in my attacks.
Me: No, it doesn't change attacks, it changes spells. Heck, any elemental damage, not slashing damage.
Ele whispers me: Let ditch this noob.
*Me and the ele got a team and beat it in 35 minutes (Monk went AFK for 10 minutes, no one left and he said he is VERY SORRY*

Wenspire · May 12, 2008, 11:40 PM // 23:40

Wasn't the effects of Winter broken for over a year now, and just fixed with the recent update finally?

I don't think it's FoW entirely. It's more Xander himself, he's an idiota magnet. Just gets them all the time if he PUGs.

So do you. My gosh people are bad with this now-a-days.

mage767 · May 13, 2008, 04:35 AM // 04:35

We were doing FOW HM run using "Ursanway".

After the first conset was put up, our 1st HB monk disconnected...we pushed foward nevertheless, thinking he might return. Nope. 1 down.

10 min into FOW, 1 ursan quit because he had something urgent to do. Don't do FOW and don't cost someone a conset if you are not available for at least 1 hr.

At forgemster, another ursan gets disconnected. Another warrior ragequits and leaves. We are now official 4/8, with 1 guy disconnected.

I wasted a conset for nothing. From now on, I will make everyone pay 1750g which will include price of 2 sets + entrance fee, and only I will activate the consets.

Can't rely on pugs in elite missions. This was the worst FOW HM team I have had in my 20+ runs.

----------------------------------

Another story:

We finish FOW HM with all 8 intact. Here is an excerpt of the converstion after griffons were delivered (all 11/11 quests complete):

Monk 1: OK, what now?
Monk 2: end chest
Monk 1: what is that
Monk 2: thats the reward
Me: Did you never complete FOW??
Monk 1: my first time. everytime before this my group failed
Monk 2: what a nooob
Ranger: virgin
Me: lol
(others): lol

cataphract · May 13, 2008, 07:43 AM // 07:43

So basically in Story#1 you're whining about a wasted consumable set and in Story#2 you're laughing at a player that finished FoW for hist first time ever?

Is there an emote that vomits?

YOU ARE ELITE.

P.S. Some posters in the thread are way worse than these "Crazy 12 yr olds"

Elder III · May 13, 2008, 09:25 AM // 09:25

With the exception of running/ferrying I stay away from PUGS for the most part. On the rare occasion I join a PUg it's usually because they are asking for help and seem to have a decent attitude beforehand. I honestly dont mind PUGS that have multiple newbies/inexperienced players, I don't mind multiple wipes (i generally pass out DP removers to anyone that dies); it's the ROTTEN attitudes that so may people in GW seem to have. As far as I'm concerned if there is something that would gain you a bloody mouth if you said it to someone in RL you have no business saying it in GW either. So, as one of the posters at the start of this thread said:
"Love your Heroes, Cherish them, and lavish all good things (upgrades & skills) upon them." ok that's not an exact quote, but you get the idea. By following this philosophy I have been able to do every non-elite mission with H/H, generally the first try, except Gate of Madness (go Guildies go!!!). A little review on wiki and some planning and you can H/H almost anything. :d
So, imo get into a good guild that is happy to help out when you need it, be willing to help others out when they need it = a nice friend's list, and treat your Heroes like family.

Yeah seriously. Fluffy for one you don't have to be paranoid, Anet doesn't nerf randomly and they sure as hell don't nerf money making outlets, it's only for certain things or if the skill has an effect on PvP. Furthermore why do you carry HB and Holy Haste?

"Crazy 12 yr olds?? share your stories"

I'll share this. Thanks for reading.

So this guy had his first full FoW run as a monk with 6 overextending Ursans, managed to get you through and you laugh at him and call him a noob? And you posted this to state what? I just hope he will never meet people like you again though chances are slim. The first full run is always something special. Good job spoiling that for him.

Radiant Dawnstar · May 13, 2008, 01:07 PM // 13:07

Learn to read you morons, he isn't "Monk 2", he's "Me".

Was this story cited as an example of 7 12-year olds? Works for me.

So true.

As for PUGs - I found it a lot easier to PUG when I'm party leader. A vast majority of people do not check other people's builds, some lack the knowledge, others are afraid to kick idiots, some have bad attitudes to begin with... I'm pretty casual when leading, I take questions, check builds, suggest improvements but above all I have no issues with kicking a retard and always engage players in a relaxed conversation about their armors, weapons, minipets, whatever. It relaxes people to talk about their characters and develops a sense of camaraderie between total strangers. PUGs like those survive wipes and no idiots rage because the idiots have been filtered out.

And that "me" is laughing at "monk1". Right? Right?

Right.

So, "monk1" has just finished his first ever FOW run with an Ursan PUG. Heling Ursans puts a lot of strain on monk's nerves, believe me. Therefore, calling that player "noob" and laughing at him after he successfully healed their dumb Ursanway a55es is... Retarded. Wouldn't you agree?

"lol"ing at him for his first run after someone called him a noob and especially posting it here is better then calling him a noob?

Don't think so

. We did get that he is "Me" but gratz on the "morons". Well placed for maximum /fail
