Grping - Guild Wars Forums

Gortz · May 26, 2005, 07:49 AM // 07:49

I know alot of people have problems with other players and grping.

But ive played with the henchmen right up to yaks bend now and would like so input from other players when out grping, as fed up with being the protector of all the npcs and at times their "killing frenzy" where say you wanna pull a small group of mobs so you target them, your spell charges but by the time its charged Stefan or Alesia has legged it 4miles down the road to take a grp of 4 Charr on by themselves.

I need some help doing some bonus missions, I got up to yaks bend but not done the bonus'es from piken to nolani and then nolani to yaks.

I hung around in nolani for about 20mins asking if any grps but perhaps its my build i dunno stood there getting ignored.

So if anyone wouldnt mind being all charitable and helpful perhaps help a poor UK based w/e lvl 12 out?

First off if you are not getting invited i suggest you to change districts. If you dont find party, chances are disctrict is empty. Or else just be a little patient and when looking for a group be specific in what mission/quest you want done.

Also don't expect players to be any better than NPC's. More often than not they are worse!
When you have NPC's you can stop and rest up your mana until your ready for the next fight. Players just tend to charge on until everyone is dead!
There are good players out there, there are also a mass of stupid players out there!

Don't just stand around spamming LFG, send join requests to existing groups (look for the ones with the blue icon over their heads) Or keep an eye open for people who are broadcasting for party members and whisper them too.

Feel free to look me up though, I'm UK too, level 12 Monk/Necro, I'm also just at Yak's

send whisper to Keira Darkwind.

Gortz · May 26, 2005, 09:06 AM // 09:06

Thanks guys.

and keira dont be suprised if get whisper from me then.

Need help going back for bonus and stuff but will just keep trying.

Standing around for 20mins when i have limited play time is not fun, but will see what happens.

thx for input

Only problem with hench is they attack EVERYTHING you do. It is hard to lure away mobs.

um not sure if you guys would like some help, but feel free to ask me for a party.

Yes, I agree that decent players are hard to come by sometimes, but with a little patience you could find a group, and maybe even a friend or two.
Anyhow, I'm currently at Yak's Bend, and about to move on, so whisper me if you'd like, I'm a lvl 14 R/N, that goes by the name of Yutaro Jiinto.

Well, I cleared the road to Borliss Pass quest this morning with henches, so I'm going to be looking to do the co op there tonight. so if anyone is around 9pm UK time and wants to team to do it, send me a whisper

Gortz · May 26, 2005, 12:36 PM // 12:36

Your at exact same point as me, found borliss pass bit last night.

although i keep wondering if i miss out on alot of bonus or other parts of the counrtyside following the storyline missions.

but pity im not on tonite otherwise would make a nice change to team with a real life player.

You never know, expect a whisper if im around

Keira Darkwind · May 26, 2005, 12:44 PM // 12:44

well, I'm on most nights so it's no problem

I can always tie up my quests and save the pass until tomorrow.

I solo a lot of the time or do pickup groups cos most of my guildmates are waay ahead of me and already ascended. Although they are happy to help out sometimes I odn't really like to have to get people who have already done it cos I'm sure they want to be advancing

but yeah there's been some pretty nice groups that I've teamed with so far at Yak's
