You'd be amazed. Of course, the trashtalkers are probably what causes your side to lose, so...

And speaking of team leader... I only go in with a guild group of people that I trust/know. They have kindly shown me the ropes and given me advice on builds. I run a ranger but the build on wiki doesn't suit my playing style, so I played around and found a build that does. I really stank at first, but I think I'm getting better. At least, that's my goal.
Ah, yes. I PUG once in a while, very rarely, because me pointing out that it's not a good idea to mob is met with a 'stfu'. Therefore, I group with people I can poke if need be. Glad to hear you've found an AB group that you can trust, and glad to hear you're enjoying it! Don't fret about the stinking too much, you're aiming to get better and believe me that's better than at least half the people I've met on AB.

PUGging is quite ok when you do it the right way. Make mental notes on your team members during each round and drop after the match if there are too many inept players. Eventually you'll get to know a number of good players and if you're of the same caliber they'll most likely introduce you to their friends and so on. Also, if you are alone try to find a guild team that needs somebody of your profession. It will take longer than jumping to the first random invite but the prospects are much better.

My current problem is that after maxing Luxon I've switched sides but not alliance, so the only way to play some AB is to get guest invitations and the only way to get them is to know people and pretty much the only way to do that is to play AB. So, if any of you Kurzick players happen to be missing one team member (at this point any prof is ok for me) and I'm online then feel free to ask (I'll pay the invite back) since I'm most likely haunting JQ and able to jump in at short notice

Awesome. Add me to friendslist (IGN Iluryl Averne) if you want - I'll be glad to drop you a guest invite to Kurz even if i'm not currently playing.

Why do french people suck at AB, this is upsetting me.

American: dance on the stage, talk in local, say LFG + GLF and make balanced parties

French: Don't ever talk, don't say LFG, invite 100 people and go instantly with the first 4 who add, don't work as a team, just run around randomly.

Germans: Somewhere in between american and french, talk in local/team but don't really use good builds.

I used to think Euros were better than Americans at online games, but experience has shown me the opposite.. so WTF.

Playing with french people vs. americans is a bit surreal.

There's a player on the luxon side named something like Ici icici lol last or something...

He's on AB litererally every time I'm there (and I play ab a lot), just inviting 100 people, every single person there, then instantly going with the first 4. That's the french way, but this is even worse. Got invited by him today, actually went because there was a monk in the 4... thought hey this can't be too bad... but it was.

Then he just sat in the base (accompanied by the monk) and committed suicide with health sacrifice spells, who never really moved after start. We lost 500-7. Somebody was asking if he was a bot before...

Is there any decent way to report somebody like that ? He does this constantly, almost every time I play he's there doing this or generally being worthless.

French ranger, surrounded by several of his teammates. -

I'm by myself, at half health, desperately trying to break my team out of the base on Ancestral, ignoring him, surrounded by several kurzicks.

He cripples me with pindown, then burning arrow + poison, runs away, and as I die he turns around with a look of SHEER TERROR OMG IS HE GOING TO GET ME SCARY LUXON.

Stupid euro, play warrior oh right that means I can 1v1 you without cancelling frenzy.

GRRR AB GRRRR GRRR

Today on AB:


Battlerage's 19 seconds of 33% IMS turned out to be very useful in keeping me from dying (ever) that round, with large mobs and no team backup.

Apologies to any good french players out there, but your other countrymen aren't doing any favors to your reputation with that kind of attitude.

weaken knees and people run to their death
insidious parasite and warriors chop themselves to their death
RoJ and players just sit in it.
the only ones to watch out for are the monks, cause they usually have an ounce of sense to them

Press 1 press 2 get an insta kill on a melee class.

Play something with some skill, I really hate the way necros can beat me by pressing 2 buttons.

ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY CHASE ME DOWN AFTER I LET THEM GO

Then again, if I'm with my party cast whatever the f you want and I'll just let the other war stomp all over you. Typically a curses necro will think he's clever by casting all his shit on me, then looks in horror as I stand by while my friends murder him.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

You can beat necros by not triggering there curses :3. Also lol @ hexstackers, One necro can usually shut down at least 2 melee. If they are failing to do that then its not really a difficult kill.


Also, a summary of AB:

LOL SUXONS
LOL KURZIDCKS

Yeah, racism between virtual factions is pretty cool and shows just how brave you are.
