Curse

I also would like to mention this really creepy thing that I just started noticing...

Every time I play Fort Aspenwood, on the Kurzick side, I get reeeeeeeally really cold, like to the point where I'm shaking. Even when it's warm, like today - it was 70!

Does anyone have any logical explanation to that? I won't go back there until I figure out what's causing it.

Joined a gvg guild led by a woman who complained about everything.

Only because it's easier that way

My most recent 1 was probably henching THK hard mode... only to get wiped by Dorian's mob.

I don't have anything major, but there are 2 incidents I remember...

The first was on my first character when I was exploring the Crystal Desert alone. I was trying to complete the 15 Attribute Point quest and couldn't fight my way through, so I decided to run. It went well, but Alesia died. No sweat, I had Lina still. I got close to the end, but then got mobbed by minotaurs and only I died. My henchmen had used their resurrection signets already and as for Lina? She ran back to Alesia. She didn't die, but she came up to a group of enemies then ran back to me to avoid combat. Then she ran back to heal Alesia because Alesia's the monk. Uh oh, the enemies don't move. Needless to say I had to start from square one.

The second was when I was first attempting missions in the Maguuma Jungle. The Wilds' bonus; I was with a friend before but we got wiped and decided to use a PUG instead of henchmen. We go to get the seed but one of the players just charged in without stopping and killed everything even though we were yelling at him not to move in/do anything/stop/etc. Then he went AFK so we just left. =/

overall, the horrible pugs that I'm forced into because all the good players are in HM. I went to Tomb the other day and spent 30 mins spamming "MM lfg NM" and when I get into a group everyone else is a newbie!! We all wiped and so I spent another 30 mins looking for another group. That group have leechers AND leavers. Grrrr!! I just want some decent drops and maybe a green or an ecto. I absolutely despise HM.

Also, I was doing Vizunah Square with a pug and all the way at the end people went afk and didn't tell anyone so we got owned by the last and easiest mob of Afflicted.

I got Masters later on but it made me hate pugs even more. I generally pug on the assumption that toons controlled by humans are smarter than NPCs. I think maybe I'm too optimistic about the intelligence of some GW players sometimes.

hmm somehow i don't believe you since IDS are always the same when dropped . .. plus you can't have a sundering IDS since they're ICY Dragon Swords.

hmm worst experience . .. probably doing one of the fire islands missions and spending 2 hours trying to kill the mursaat monk boss before we were finally able to separate the two bosses and kill one.

PUGS.

People leaving mid way through, people leaving after they capped a skill, people generally not following strategy, wammo's agroing everything in sight, etc...

And that one time a player abused me because i was afk and i didn't join his team for a mission (you know the random invites). I mean wtf get some sense pls.

manitoba1073 · May 05, 2007, 09:14 AM // 09:14

Well my worst is really bad, merched my req 7 15% always falchion. then to top it off lost 3 req 8 15^50 FDS same way to lag. Then just recently had these drop but to bad they are raher worthless now and they are all from the same run

Marth Reynolds · May 05, 2007, 09:52 AM // 09:52

Well it's probaly not the worst for me, but i keep remembering it :

We where in a FOW chest run group shortly after shadow blades where out,
one of the runners spotted a chest near some skales and hydras and we all but 1 barge in on it and try to open the chest

Unfortunately a shadow blade req 9 dropped for a teammate but he couldn't pick it up thanks to meteor storm.
Only 1 teammember was still alive after that mostly because he didn't ran for teh chest just yet.
So we ask him to res us, apears he has no res handy..
So i say wait 10 minutes or so and you pick up that shadow blade for the teammate.
Of course he did and picked it up before getting killed by hydra's.
But he didn't give it to the guy for who it dropped....

Corinthian · May 05, 2007, 10:02 AM // 10:02

I was running towards a chest in tombs while my guildmates finished off the last monsters. The last monster dropped an ecto for me and I was half the map away from it... And the timer starts ticking... 30... 29... I didn't make it.

Would've been my first ecto ever!

And this one time a monster died in an area which is not accessible by players... Guess what it dropped... A black dye!

Dronte · May 05, 2007, 10:11 AM // 10:11

Some bad trades that happens me rarely, the worst was when I missed buying an everlasting beetle tonic for 100k+10e.......

And when my survivor ritu got owned by an assa boss after finishing ALL the kaineng quests..... (max armor, 180, and 120 dmg, gg) My ritu had about 300k xp, though.

erfweiss · May 05, 2007, 10:26 AM // 10:26

I think the worst thing that happened to me was early on. Was going to get a ride on the "Droks Run express". Well, the guy wanted 1k up front. I was naive, paid him. Well, he couldn't get anyone else to go so he left, taking my 1k with him.

Since then, I have learned that I trust no one on here. I hate to be xenophobic, but I rarely trust anyone I don't know.

BenjZee · May 05, 2007, 11:12 AM // 11:12

Im going for it again! i should be able to get it done and go skill capping i recon

Rocky Raccoon · May 05, 2007, 02:08 PM // 14:08

My worst experience involved recruiting a person who could only be called a psycho. I thought the person sounded ok when I was talking to him and invited him to join our guild. Once in we found out he was a royal pain who thought he knew it all. Our leader finally had to boot him and he immediately got one of our alliance guilds to invite him from which again got booted. I then put him on ignore and was done with him. Last night he tried to get our leader to invite him under another name but same account so we knew who it was by checking. He is just the player from hell, if I didn't have scruples I would name him for all to avoid. So be careful on who you ask to join you, you just never know.

Had plenty of good and bad experiences whilst playing GW.

My most recent bad and annoying experience had to be today. I was taking advantage of the Double EXP skill capture weekend like many others in order to advance the survivor title on my monk.

After several hours i reached the second tier Survivor title. i then went outside on another skill cap journey from Camp Hojanu into Barbarous Shore. I proceded down to Captain Mehdi to cap Vow of Strength, i cleared two of the groups near him and then went for his group to kill him and make the capture. As myself and my Heroes/henchies were fighting his group a lag spike hit and it froze "Oh S**t was my response". A few seconds later the lag spike went and i found myself dead.

After i picked up my keyboard/mouse from the other side of the room, i vowed to myself to never bother with this stupid title again.

Odinius · May 06, 2007, 12:22 AM // 00:22

Finally collected 100k, took 'm out of storage, went outside dropped them (just to see what it looked like) took a screenie, clicked on the gold to pick it up, it obviously caused some kind of error cause on the moment I clicked it the game crashes, i log in after 3 mins, no cash and everybody in town was talking about the weird log off they had :S

SuperDave · May 06, 2007, 02:59 AM // 02:59

My worst had to be 5 min ago.. I'm vanquising Snake Dance and capping skills while im here. So far I've been disconnected twice. Which isn't all that bad since you can reconnect. Problem is: I know have no idea where I've been

When you reconnect the red dot trail on your map resets. Grrrrr, Connection and lag problems are pretty much the only thing that's making my GW experience suck. I usually don't have a problem with lag etc.. the last 2 weeks have been awful. Also worth mentioning. I was busy doing Abbadon's Mouth in HM last weekend. After about 2 hours into the mission our WHOLE party starts lagging, and then suddenly one by one starts disconntecting. Needles to say....LFP mission and bonus Abbadon's Mouth Hard mode
