Curse

oh man - I am an idiot!

Salvaged 15k factions armour I just bought and cursed that only materials came out, no runes - then realised I was salvaging the wrong armour. Sat on the sofa and sobbed!

A guildie said I was a good Healer and invited me to help with the DNK mission. I was bonding SF at the time and quickly went to his aid, as a good guildie should. I changed my skills and we set off to do DNK.. I never realized I did not change my points from protection to Heal until we lost the mission 4x in a row. (due to poor healing of course.)

I did that to the chest piece of my 15k tat set for my monk I was trying to get the a sup vigor I had on it out. Lost both. T-T But got some Mats! Wee~ *sarcasum*

1. Normaly salvaged way to many unidentifed blue/purple/gold runes. (Sometimes I need to stop being in a hurry)
2. Sold an FDS to a merchant back when it was worth something.
3. Sometimes when I'm monking I hit the `~` key instead of '1' and wonder why they're still dying and my chat window keeps popping up and down. -_-;

I know I have more...but I'm in need of more caffeine :P

Well heres mine.... See most intel integrated cards wouldnt work with guildwars a few months ago. So i played with atleast 1000 crashes every hour. Not bad. A year goes by, and now its fixed. 2 months before factions realeased btw. Im now in maguuma and i just cant stop dieing. When i get to the desert, I find out that

a) I still had intiate armor <-- Explains the deaths
b) Smiting with warriors suck!

I immediately wasted what little money i had and bought gladiators armor. Today im proudly wearing grotto 15k armor, With the initiate armor days long gone

Oh that just hurts on so many levels.

I guess one of the stupidest things I've done, like 6 months ago, was bring a R/W, and using both bow and sword skills. Genius, I know. Thats just what I thought :P

1. Going into towns with the chat channels enabled.
2. Joining Pug's.
3. Dealing with players during trades.
4. Giving people 50g to unlock their storage.
5. Trying to explain to Pug's, I'm the meat shield, stay out of my aggro bubble and stop stealing aggro. That's why these uglies keep killing you.

malignant-heretic · May 23, 2006, 07:46 AM // 07:46

lmao:

I set out from Deldrimor war camp with henchies.

Battled through grenths footprint to snake dance.

Then battled north for a looooong time to get to dreadnoughts drift.

battled through dreadnoughts drift to get to the place where the necro worm boss appears so i can cap its elite skill.

all in all it took me about 45 minutes to an hour. and it wasnt too difficult either.

heres the stupid part, after fighting all that way and killing the disapointingly easy boss,, i realise, id forgot the capture signet

jackie · May 23, 2006, 08:06 AM // 08:06

1. Deleted PvP char which had hod sword in inventory

2. Went to FoW as an ele with air skills...and fire attributes

3. When started playing Guild Wars I used to have a War/Ele with Phoenix/Firestorm & whenever I looked for some pug groups I used to write: Warrior Nuker lfg. A_____A

4. Helped an anonymous player in HA to get his PvP Career started. Reason:Afterwards 20 of his friends or guildies or whatever spams to me saying that I have to help them too. After refusing to help because I have a life, some of them started spamming to me everyday saying "hi, i wanna rank !"!"¤"#%"#%!"...so had to use ignore list in the end.

moriz · May 23, 2006, 03:16 PM // 15:16

Priest Of Sin · May 23, 2006, 03:45 PM // 15:45

1. Got my elementalist full FoW armor RIGHT after the tanking nerf.
2. Played with him a bit.
3. danced around nude in the game for a bit.
4. Logged off.
5. Deleted him the next day for a PvP slot without realizing he had FoW.

-sigh-

AxeMe · May 23, 2006, 04:30 PM // 16:30

Long ago when the game was still relatively new, I saved and traded until I had the ectos, shards and materials I needed for FOW armor.

The first few groups that I tried - on the way to the armorer - failed.

Maybe partially because I wasn't that good either, I would try and fail to complete the quests needed to get the armor.

Then one fine day I was in a group and realized almost from the start that we would get their easily. My teammates were really good and we were just laying waste to the fissure of woe.

That's when I realized that while I had remembered the ectos and shards for the armor, I hadn't moved the other materials needed for the armor from storage to my character.

Since I had told the group that I was going for my armor I had to sit around and explain - once we got there - that I was an idiot.

No one doubted that.

Lurid · May 23, 2006, 04:41 PM // 16:41

Bought two unidentified fellblades from a bot before I knew they were pre-id'd and sucked.

Merchanted a few things that were not intended to be merchanted, like a piece of my armor....

Eviance · May 23, 2006, 06:52 PM // 18:52

Alright I will start with my earliest and greatest/worst of the most stupidest things I have ever done! (Keep in mind my first char has almost 3mill xp and I have 2 accounts and been playing 8-9mths and have never played an online RPG like this before.) Oh and I never had that selling dye for cheap issue.

First night of GW we have two friends who have been playing a month or two and has a guild.
Friend and guildie: Hurry up, don't bother with all those quests there are lots of high XP quests once you post. (Yeah I had no clue what posting was).

I pick r/ele and I am seperated from my hubby who is finishing a few quests.... as I wait in Ascalon for him to finish I see a quest! I thought, hey I can do this while he is doing his: Do you wish to enter the accademy? SURE!

POSTED! lvl 3 r/ele >_>
Guildie: YOU POSTED AT LVL 3!?!?!? And you didn't even get all your skills?!?!?! -_- (talk about newb >_< He said HURRY! *growls*)

I spent FOREVER trying to find this person Alesia who was to help me with my first quest in post.... I thought it was a real person! *sighs* I couldn't for the life of me figure out why she wasn't messaging me or at least telling me where she was! Silly me

My "friends" covered the loss of the belt pouch thankfully, but I went on with the little money they gave me to buy the skills I had missed in pre.... Later yelled at cause I could still QUEST FOR THEM! *sighs*

It wasn't till Denravi that I learned the ctrl and alt trick ^_^;;;;;;; Whispers were wierd in pre >_> I couldn't figure out how to respond till sometime in post

Money blunders: Tried selling a max low req purple sephis 15^50 500g-1k for about a month till I gave up and sold it to the merch - 2mths later they are the shiznit and sell for a LOT! ;_;
Orish staff, so pretty I thought (didn't know it was orish skinned).... Oh I want to put a high health mod on it and keep it (and I do)! A guildie gives me a nice gold air staff with a crap health bonus that I thought was better than my Orish staff, so I salvage the Orish staff for the mod back and get 22 wood planks.... -_- 3wks later a guildie tells me how much he wants one and that they look like this and go for over 100k EASY... *sighs* I tried selling it in ascalon for 3k but I had no buyers wanting an earth staff! DUH! So I decided that the health mod would be nice... STUPID SKINS and their RARITY!!! *growls*

I tried selling a VERY nice fire wand for 3k for about an hour, only to GIVE it to some newb cause I got tired of selling it and having said "newb" message me and go: Someone just gave me 10k for that wand....
Yeah yeah BITE ME!
Was checking the price on a rune to sell and accidently bought it instead -_- Then I had TWO to sell *growls*

I wasn't the WORST stupid newb but I have done a ton of stupid things, those just happen to be the worst of them.

Heck I still do stupid stuff, its part of life =P OH I was at the end of a high lvl mission that I took henchies to do, only to move my foot and hit the power switch! >_<
And clicking the little red X in the corner while not paying attention sucks >_> Especially when in a mission or a quest
