I already killed the justicar and rand with h/h in my ranger character (and trust me, they did very poorly there even when I flagged them and i did the pulling). Selve, I haven't tried yet, but I was in a group for the forgeman, full human party. I was doing my job as a barrager and setting up spirits like frozen soil and winter when my party ditched me!! An ele tank blamed me saying i should have stayed back. I was letting that guy do his job, pulling the foes and having the foes attk the tank and I was attking the foes (the foes suppose to always focus on the tank). Apparently, that was the part when the party ditched me. And since H/H don't spread out when attacking (ANet did a good job making them the dumbest AI in the world), and no one was trying to pick me up for the forgeman (spend 15 minutes on finding a group and no one picked me up), I have no choice but to give up on slaver exile.

Have you ever faced a situation your entire party (or at least half of them) ditched you)? Then faced more torture when the no one picks you up for 15+ minutes even though you are fit for the job?

Ever think that maybe you're the one at fault? not the party?

oh wait no wai...

Something obviously went wrong. Either you didn't notice it or you won't admit it.

Ummm, prepare you flame retardant suit?

But yes, sometimes you make a mistake when you are new to something and nobody wants to tell you HOW to do it, they just leave. Try new things with friends and guildies before you pug things would be my best advice.

lol yeup. First time in a pug at Ice Caves of Sorrow I lead the whole team through the catapult and they all died.

Why did I do that? Because I didn't know that I had to go pull the levers and got stuck up there, and I did it every other time before with henchies, never had a problem.

What is the point of this topic? So you met rude person/people and you're posting about it here as if it was news?

Antheus · Jan 24, 2008, 04:23 AM // 04:23

A PUG that sucked?

Surely, you jest.

Slavers? Hard?

Ursan blessing and the 3 necros makes everything easy. Screw them, you don't need them. Get the 3 necros, run ursan, and bring the 2 rangers and 2 monk hench. Essence of celerity and it's game over, don't even need frozen soil.

id suggest you ask your guild if they want to help you. I did it with a full guildteam and we cleared Duncan on HM sooo many times now..

It's a game... You'll get over your E-feelings...

Everyone has been blamed for somethin they did/did not do, but gues what, the next day, you won't even remember, and if you do, you need professional help...

try going to ha or pug gvg. this happens ALOT. if u cant handle ppl being lil babies and whining about u, NEVER get into pvp. it takes many a nights worth of flaming before one gets good enuff to toss the flames back.

Among people who are doing some high level missions over and over (Mallyx, Duncan) it is not unheard of that they kick players because some party member had a negative experience with them. These parties usually talk VERY much in the chat or have teamspeak. Generally you are fine if you can explain why you modified your build in a certain way. Quite some of these players make lists of people they played with, if they left and whether they can be trusted. Which is normal, considering the time invested in Half-Run Pugs and Full-Run Pugs. Time is spend by preparing properly before the run and then execute it properly. At no time is the speedy choice the one that is made, but in the end, that will pay off.

Other players imitate that behavior by kicking anyone who does not behave in a certain way, even though their rules are totally arbitrary and counter-productive. These players do not talk much before the mission, they do not have teamspeak, you will never be able to get a chance to justify your build-mutation and everybody seems to be under constant time pressure. Those groups would never make it anyway, so you can consider it a blessing being kicked from them. gogogogo

Trust me when I say, you are not a unique snowflake. No build you've ever run has ever been unique and new. Using stuff that works and works well, as opposed to bashing your head into the same problem 10 times over, is perfectly fine. (Though the use of Ursan gets my eyebrow raised, it's one copy of the thing, which isn't ursan-way).

I agree with that. And its hella fun ^^

Back to topic, ever thought that you actually made a mistake?

Squishy ftw · Jan 24, 2008, 09:53 AM // 09:53

Are you sure you didn't mess up somewhere?

If you're sure you didn't, consider it their loss and move on

No.

Never. If I can't get in a PuG in 15min I grab hero/hench..

Mark Nevermiss · Jan 24, 2008, 10:51 AM // 10:51

Even if you were the best player out there and knew all Slaver's Exile dungeons like the back of your hand, to think that waiting 15 minutes is long is ..well, laughable. I have been in groups that waited for like 2 hours to get one person.

When I cannot get into a certain group at a certain time I normally switch to another char and do something else, unless I know I can hero/hench it.

I doubt YOU will be able to H/H Forge or Selve, so I think your best bet is to try to figure out what could have gone wrong and try to fix it.

Also something I find worth mentioning .. unless you are doing SE for the dungeon book, its no BIG loss to pass on it. Unless you get EXTREMELY lucky and get one of the few rare highly coveted items, the time spent at SE could be more profitably spent elsewhere.

My opinion.
