Inspired by this and many other threads around here, I thought I'd start a thread for people who are frustrated with the, shall we say, hit-or-miss quality of PUGs in the game. If your gamestyle fits the following description AND you're interested in teaming up with like-minded strangers, post your in-game-name (and maybe the general area in the game where you are?) here so people can add you to their friends list and maybe make a buddy or two...

You like to hammer out strategy points and skill combos BEFORE you even leave town
You like to chat during quests/missions, maybe even stopping from time to time to recharge and/or shoot the breeze and/or admire the scenery
For that matter, you love strategy and teamplay, sharing knowledge and opinions BEFORE blithely running in and aggroing mobs
You never, EVER leave a group mid-mission without warning/apology. If you have an iffy connection, you forewarn people before starting.
You're more interested in the caliber of the person at the keyboard than in the character with the sword (ie, you don't discriminate based on class or level, and are willing to try and make any combo work)
You're willing to help out lower-level players, even if there's no immediate benefit to your own character

Sound good to you? Tired of partying with people who don't play this way? Put your name down. Maybe you'll find a great new friend.

As for me, my IGN is Beqxter Rawls, a R/W18 currently slogging through the Maguuma missions. I typically play late evenings PST. If you want to party up, please feel free to drop me a whisper.

Always willing to group up, and very interested in talking and hammering out strategies...just add me to your friends list and contact me to group up

a level 13 air/domination e/me just beat D'Allesio Seaboard.

Epinephrine · Jun 08, 2005, 07:44 PM // 19:44

What the heck, I'll bite.

IGN Andrea Nile, lvl 17 Nec/Mo currently specced in Blood/Curses.

Like playing with a group that can control a crowd without aggroing others needlessly, that understand the use of wells and such and can focus fire. I don't currently heal, I do carry Rebirth to extract bodies from bad situations. Currently at Bloodstone Fen.

Unik · Jun 08, 2005, 07:45 PM // 19:45

You can count me in, always looking for groups that fit this description.

Just for fun you can also add you do not discriminate lower level players just for that having a lower level.

IGN - Rufo GloryRoad

Level 14 N/R focus Blood/Death

As I currently solo with henchies, need the minions and strider to provide shield while I take out casters. Currently at Lion's Arch.

With two teenage daughters in multiple sports, time is my constant enemy; but would be happy to join a mature team that puts strategy ahead of chaos.

zoozoc · Jun 08, 2005, 08:17 PM // 20:17

I'm almost exactly what you described. The only problem is that my computer descides to boot me every once and a while with no warning, besides that i'm good.
IGN-Donald Shaw, level 20 e/mo, can be a good healer.

ManadartheHealer · Jun 08, 2005, 08:32 PM // 20:32

Sounds good...

IGN Manadar the Healer (Mo/W20; usually I have healing/protection skill build), and I am currently at the Iron Mines of Moladune (sp?)

Kershent · Jun 08, 2005, 08:47 PM // 20:47

Kershent Gherin, Mesmer/Elementalist.

I have 3 alts of varying levels, all with the last name Gherin. I don't mind doing earlier missions at all, so if you really need help doing Ascension, get in contact with me and I'll grab my mesmer and we'll get it done, no problem. I'm a firm believer that ANY group combo can work, even without a healer.

salja Wachi · Jun 08, 2005, 09:19 PM // 21:19

Salja Wachi

all of you can add me if you like i have three character 2 of which are fully ascended and another one is very close. i am more than willing to help others ascend or be a guide to a lower level player whatever you need.

it is nice to see more players who play the way i do and it would be great to play with all of you.

Sam Katha · Jun 08, 2005, 09:54 PM // 21:54

I'm in.
James Adams, level 15 R/E Gates of Kryta.
Sam katha, level 12 N/Me Nolani Academy

Add me to your friends list. If I'm on, give me a shout. I'd be happy to help players with quests/missions.

Gamewench · Jun 08, 2005, 11:19 PM // 23:19

IGN An Morrigna 20 ascended working on second 15 attribute quest at the moment but willing to help others.
I have a 16 necro/mes who works with death magic and curses/hexes, a 14 ele/mo fire/smite/some heals, 11 r/ele marks/beast/fire.
I'm on most of the day from 6 am to 2 pm EST unless I'm downloading a patch for hubby's eq2 accout

Caelus The Fallen · Jun 08, 2005, 11:57 PM // 23:57

Sounds good:

Caelus the Fallen E/Mo13 currently at Nolani Academy.

Roan Drum

Ranger/whatever (did all the secondary missions)
Ive done everything except some of the bonus missions, underworld and fissure. Thats pretty much all Im working on now. Other than that, I sight see and do missions just to group with players that like to have fun.

Secondary Character:

O Yung

Monk/Warrior
Im still in Ascalon with him.

DrSLUGFly · Jun 09, 2005, 05:07 PM // 17:07

I'm currently in Pre-Sear with my main but I'll be in Post-Sear within the next 48 hours I think. I currently have 2 characters (prolly will stay that way for a bit) and feel welcome to whisper me. I play European but will gladly go international.

Doctor Slugfly (e/r)
Henrietta the Mule (w/n)

As I said, I'm in pre-sear now, but will gladly assist any who are lower level and/or team up for mutual quests and missions (if I get to watch the cinematics... Slugs=purists)

edit: I'll be far more likely to take interest in anyone who whispers if they mention this forum and/or this thread

dinglenut · Jun 09, 2005, 05:41 PM // 17:41

Dr Dinglenut

E/MO 20 at the end game.

I will gladly help anyone out on any mission unless i'm doing something specific. Most of my guildmates and I have made alt characters so I'm often running them through missions or helping as a monk for them.

SO if anyone needs anything I'll be glad to help anytime I'm on, just PM me about anything, questions, tips and I'll be glad to help or run with you as either a Fire Ele or a Monk or a mix whatever you need.

Lewick · Jun 09, 2005, 05:49 PM // 17:49

R/Mo20 Lewick Goodheart
W/Mo13 Warwick Hammerhead

Already finished all of the missions, but like repeating content and enjoy finding new things. I enjoyed the content the first time through, and have repeated many missions just for the fun of it, including dessimating the entire Charr invasion force during the Great Northern Wall mission.

I'm also willing to replay pre-searing in case anyone is interested in doing that. Willing to help people through the ascension missions.

Incidentally, the only missions I couldn't complete only with henchmen were Thirsty River and Thunderhead Keep. However, those henchmen don't chat much

Hamumu · Jun 09, 2005, 06:52 PM // 18:52

Sounds great! I'm pretty new - I played one of every character, deleting as needed, through Pre-Searing until settling on the first one I played to continue with. She's a Me/Mo, currently level 17, stuck after being wiped twice on The Wilds with henchmen and once losing due to a disconnect.

The name's Mesmerelda Copafeel, and I created a guild early on for the people who frequent my company's forums... however, it turns out only one of them has Guild Wars, so it's a very lonely guild (but I spent the bucks on a cape anyway!). If you're the type who posted in this thread, have a sense of humor, and a love for spelling out words in their entirety rather than sounding like you're IMing on a cell phone, I'd love to have you in my clan. Any class, any level, whatever, it's all fun. I would love to build up a group of intelligent people who aren't hung up on "n00bz" and getting their testosterone in an uproar over who aggro'd what. I don't care about maxing out the perfect character and destroying all in PvP, just looking to have a nice break.

Add me to your friends list at least! I feel like I just moved to a new town and don't know anybody.

Ardus Shadowmane · Jun 10, 2005, 12:38 AM // 00:38

I like the sound of this. I tried one PUG that was pretty ridiculous and haven't done another since. I would love more online GW buddies!

IGN Ardus Shadowmane Lvl 14 R/W. I bounce around a lot, but as far as plot goes I'm currently in Lion's Arch. If you end up wanting to group, or just sit and RP or even chat, pm me. I'll be more likely to reply if you tell me you're from here though (unless I find you're a troll here, heh).
