My Guild was in America (old friends from Enemy Territory) And I was forced to Quit the guild due to the problems with teaming up

Ouch... :/

I haven't really experienced anything major... hm. I bought a major insp. rune because I thought I could use it although I was a necro. Didn't lose much money though. Then I've sold things I didn't mean to (didn't even know what I sold).

One thing that bugs my mind is the issue with dyeing the scarr in necromancers face. Green doesn't give green, I can tell you that. Neither did numerous other dyes I tried!

Biggest mistake ever:

I felt happy so what do i do

yes i take gwen with me (stupid)

Then after a while, i get stuck between some kind of bush and Gwen!
And that innoying thing wont move out of the way

so i had to start all over again

(and i also have done all the things above)

When I first started playing in pre-searing I was selling all items that I didn't need. After that ran out to kill some monsters and realized that I was punching them in the face, had sold my only good sword!

Had to use a bow for a little bit. Now I always keep my equiped items in my belt pouch and the first thing I do before I start selling is un-check the belt pouch for trading. Live and learn

sandstorm87 · Jun 15, 2005, 03:37 PM // 15:37

you punch enemys if you dont have a weapon equiped??
wow i really want to see that

Second week of the game, I salvages a dragon sword for its fiery hilt for my fellbalde. It was considered stupid then, but now, I'm not sure.

And once thirty minutes into a mission, got trapped between my pet and a statue, with henchmen all around me, so I can't move and have to restart mission naturally.

sandstorm87 · Jun 15, 2005, 03:45 PM // 15:45

also have done that more then once
(with more then once i mean like a 100 times)

also did something very stupid with runes
i had like 4 blue items, so i identifie
and all 4 are runes

so i use my normal salvage and what happens ......

yeah i only get bolts of cloth(because i used the normal salvage and not the expert)

Algren Cole · Jun 15, 2005, 03:46 PM // 15:46

lol I was so excited about my max damage purple bow that I used a salvage kit on it instead of an identifying kit....atleast I got 13 wood planks

Dropped a Superior Sword Rune in before i upgraded my armor

now i live with a crappy (infused) chest piece

Learned my lession in bad talking and using the chat box correctly.

was getting pissed at a group and thought i'd tell my freind about it. well... ya, i typed it in the wrong box. (more than 1 line)

i was hated the rest of that mission.

And the best one ever. I totally blame this on guild wars. Playing casually in PvP as a monk while we wait for the opposing group to approach. I'm leaning back on my chair when the leg breaks out on me. Not only did my headphones come unplugged but the stupid roll-out table that the keyboard sits on came down with me pulling the keyboard and the mouse out of my putty. This left me with no way of communicating while i fished the cords to the back of my putty and plugged them in. By this time the other healer and i were dead, and the main warrior was dancing in the middle of lightning.

That my friend is just classic. Brilliant to the extreme ... just hope you didnt hurt yourself ... but purely for the humour factor, that has made my day.

I've been lucky so far. I accidently salvaged the gauntlets I just got from the Amnoon Oasis collector instead of my old crappy set. I didn't have another set of 5 collector items, but luckily I had another 5 that another collector took for gauntlets and only wasted a set of 5 collector items.

Later I ended up ditching those in favor of those Stonefist gauntlets with extended knockdown anyway, wasting a set of 10 collector items.

Miss Puddles · Jun 15, 2005, 09:21 PM // 21:21

typing furiously, "no no dont kill that guy!!" to a PUG only to have 10 different boxes pop up on the screen cause i didn't hit enter first...of course by the time i closed the windows we were all dead >.<

Elythor · Jun 15, 2005, 09:38 PM // 21:38

Got collector armor from desert area. Forgot the equip it. Sold it to merchant thinking it was my older set of armor.

rei · Jun 15, 2005, 09:53 PM // 21:53

During the beta weekend, Instead of salvaging raw materials, i looked long and hard for pieces of wood planks to randomly drop from oh... around every other 50 monsters. Other than that, i declare my perfection [/arrogance]

OUCH!

deleting a pvp only character with 2 sigils on it. not a big deal but it hurts the pocketbook.

kkl · Jun 16, 2005, 02:13 PM // 14:13

buying the armor at Quarell fall, .. clicked a few time cuz was lag and no response... end up bought 3 elementist glove of the same, it's all customized so i can't resell it for half price... ... .. good thing is 400gp only.. i would cry if it were the 15k one! (oh! look i got 3 15k glove that is customized to me! woohoo... *cry*)

KvanCetre · Jun 16, 2005, 03:40 PM // 15:40

Well, we've all had that problem where we double click the vendor and accidently get stuck with a dye remover...

...Try that with the new dwarven merchants charging 1 plat for a dwarven ale...

Ohhh... that's rough...

I HATE the chat window, at least ten times a night I'll be trying to go somewhere or fight something, or try to run away, only to stand there like a lump and die.

Meanwhile, my guildies are like WTF? when they see "sssssssssssdddddddd12111111111111111111111" appear in the guild chat window.

I keep doing stupid stuff like seeing someone sell something for what I think is cheap (like 750 gold), buying it, then realising I can't or don't want to use it, and then I try to sell it again, and get 200 gold for it if I'm lucky. I'm not a salesman...

I allowed some total stranger to give me a Superior Vigor rune for free cause he had 2 of them and couldn't use the other, he was level 13 and a teammate on a really good PUG... I had no idea they were worth SO MUCH!!! But he said here, can you use this? Anyways, thanks guy!

I'm a Mo/Me20, and my most HATED thing is the blasted Alt+Tab!!!!

Scenario:

In my PvP group, I'm the target caller and I setup who to attack and cast Aegis before the first clash.

So the doors go up and we start after the other team.... I hit CTRL and ALT to get a feel for who is where...

Hit TAB to start jumping finding a good target (while forgetting to let go of ALT)... why hello desktop!

Meanwhile, I can hear swords clashing, people chattering on teamspeak... as my SLOW computer decides to put me back into the fight around the 3rd or 4th death.

Also... death to the WINDOWS key in between the CTRL and ALT
