Great thread everyone.

I've done surprisingly well so far. The worst I've every done myself is salvage a purple unidentified armour before the upgrade. I suppose my Err=7 timings haven't been great. I've only had two in 300+ hours of play. One was after the imps in my first run through the Ring of Fire. Fortunately I had a good group who were very understanding when I whispered my apology, and I think they went on to win. The other was just before Dreadnought's Drift in Snake Dance (bottom to top run, so not the end of the world).

I definitely know what those who have a dislike for the Windows key are talking about. Thankfully I disabled the left one after getting about a quarter of the way through the game with my first character, so it didn't affect me too much.

Haha, yes, this has caused me to die about twice.

There was this one time I died in the Elementalis Dome in Dragon's Lair.

The henchmen are so stupid they stay inside the "Magic Ring" if you stay in that ring you get hurt by random spells. Well, one of the healing henchmen dies in there, while i am still dead, the protectionis goes into the ring and tries to revive the healing henchmen, however, the protectionis always gets knockdown everytime she tries to revive, and she stays inside the ring, and heals herself, hours later i am still waiting and waiting, then SHE DIES! The warriors goes revives her, and i am still dead next to the end of the mission :\ 10 mins later she dies again, and the mission ends. Henchmen AI is so ****ed up it pissed me off that day

I joined a PUG in the Temple of the Ages today on my monk.
I asked "Should I take Healing Prayers or Protection Prayers?"
They said, "Take whatever."
I asked the other monk what he had, he answered back with a part of both answer.
So I decided to myself, "Ok, since he is part protection, I'll take healing."
I say to my team "Hold on, let me swtich my skills out." (because I was set as my soloing Zealot's Fire build at the time.
I get about 1/2 the skills for healing on my bar when all of a sudden "The Underworld" splash screen shows up.
I had Orison of Healing, Healing Touch, Healing Breeze, Mending, Balthazar's Spirit, Symbol of Wrath, Zealot's Fire, and Shield of Judgment on me, in a REALLY bad order.
NO RESSURECT SPELL!
I say "Way to go, I was changing out my skills. I have no rez on me."
The team said "Oh, that's ok. You don't need rez."
When everyone but me died, they said "WHY DON'T YOU HAVE REZ?!!"
I proceeded to leave that group.

On the route to Dunes of Despair my entire party died except me. Good thing I have a rez signet. Bad thing I use it on the one guy who didn't have rez. Even worse....I knew he didn't have one!!!

I got a ranger up to level 20, and into droknars forge. Then, as I was reading the 1.5k armor I had just bought, I saw it said it had been customized for my ranger, who's name was spelled wrong. My name was now stupid, and I had to delete it =(. I lost all my money of the armor from Ascalon City, LIon's Arch, and Droknars Forge >.< Can't belive I missed all that. At least I didn't forget to put my bow back *phew* I have still to create my ranger. My necro is cool =)

Popping off the Windows key is the best upgrade I ever made to my computer.

GraceAlone · Jun 17, 2005, 04:23 PM // 16:23

lol, I've done that! It's so annoying to have your screen change right in the middle of something. Died several times that way. Windows needs a way to disable that key!

ImBobNewbie · Jun 17, 2005, 06:42 PM // 18:42

hmm

1. sold black dye for 150 (well, it was 50 more than everyone else offered when i sold

)
2. Trapped by ONE monster while running to thirsty river. While im between a mountain and the centaur thing, I slowly die while my already dead party screams 'nub wat r u doing RUN'

It is possible to disable it using the registry, as I've done. That site makes it nice and easy.

GraceAlone · Jun 17, 2005, 07:36 PM // 19:36

That's great! Setting that up as soon as I get home

Thanks egads

When I get the last window closed whenever I do that I get to see my defenseless Necro charging rioght into aggro range of the main group of mobs. Neither the mbos nor my group seems to see the humor in this.

If they only intend on getting it to sell, I just hop over to Ascalon or Ft Ranik and give them away. Takes too long to sell them

true that. I cbf'd shouting for hours in ascalon or lions arch about some stupid thing i've picked up. I actually didn't even think of giving it away as the guy asked to buy it straight away. and i'd already got a much better hammer in my inventory

I recently spent 750g and trivial resources to eagerly upgrade my armor... Bought the whole set, proceeded to switch them and then saw... I bought the exact same armor set... no upgrade, just different bonuses... (I play fire ele but my armor bonuses are +15 for fire, ice, air, earth so that it's well rounded and not just super fire)

so a lesson learned at 750 gold back when 1 plat was a boastable achievement. The monetary equivilent of me now throwing away 3 plat.

That's one helluva expensive ingot!!! Double click=dangerous, use the actual "buy" button

I've thrown money away on salvage kits by buying 2 or 3 at the same time, but at least with those you can save them and use em eventually.

Once i had a long run, all my inventory full with random items i wanted to sell to a merchant. I thought i unklicked all inventory space, but the main where that items where. In fact i didn't unclick them all so i ended up selling 2 pieces of my 15k Ele Air Armor (with runes in it ofc ...) and several other items and runes.

Arrow Whisper · Jun 20, 2005, 02:03 PM // 14:03

Sold a max damage lighting bow with 11%? I think it was 11% it was max, for 7k when I didn't know better. Only to see it on traders for over 200k the next day indicating some fool sold it to him for 7k....I was the fool.

Sold a superior rune of fire something or other to an Elem for 4k. Didn't know better but knew I didn't want to spend the time selling anything. Only to find out it was worth well more than that (over 100k) later in the day.

Oh well

Live and learn it's only a game.
