God I suck at PVP. But I want achievements. And there are sooo many PVP achievements. It's like my brain hits a brick wall when it comes to PVP. I become one of those dumbasses who Leeroys into giant packs of the opposing team and then wonders where the fuck the rest of my team went. My generally poor observational skills certainly don't help in this environment. All those useless assholes who give out free KOs and ruin your PVP experience? They're all me. I don't think I could be any worse at PVP. If you ever have me on your team, I'm sorry.
They should let the A11S book be able to buy gobcoats, I have no use for them at this point :O
Frontlines isn't even about fighting and you can't really feed in Feast. If you're a free KO don't pick up medals and it's not even a huge deal. Just hang back mark whoever has high medals and spam 'Get The Medals'. I'm shit at PVP too but as long as you just make slightly smart dives you'll be fine.
fourth d/c in three days. kicks me out entirely, sometimes can't even get back into the launcher. especially fun when it happens near the end of a roulette you waited 30 minutes to get into.
this needs to get fixed. now.
Dun Scaith on a reset night healer queue was 30 minutes. I don't remember it ever being that bad before.
More people seem to go Tank/Healer since its the easier roles in that content lol, but they may have ninja changed the algorithm like they did for tanks.
I would have gone DPS if not for the stupid anima light forcing me to go healer in all content lol
lot Dun Scaithe hat, body drops on final boss
FUUUUUUUUUU
at least it wasn't the legs, the only piece that's not Shire yet. that would have just killed me.
Most people hold out for body. Even though I run on healer and lot for caster, I grabbed healer legs this time because fuck waiting 3 entire weeks to get the Shire ones. The tomestone system continues to grind on my last nerve.
Yeah I guess you're right. I need to practice is all. The time between utterly sucking and being good at it is rough though.
As for the complaint of the day, people in Palace of the Dead have been utter cockweasels today. All you have to do in PotD is not be a douche, and some of the people I've partied with today couldn't even manage that.
Only way to do CT/VA 24-man shit is to lot the very first thing you can use or win.
Otherwise the effort:time and RNG involved on multiple layers is simply not worth it.
Maybe it's a guilty pleasure of mine.. but I kinda like it when people lose their shit in Steps of Faith. If Tanks aren't losing it, healers are. DPS go stupid, etc. Even funnier when the "mob tank" don't grab everything and both healers drop. And while it doesn't happen much now, early last year, it would take like 5 min to even start it, because you'd have waves and waves of players dropping out of the instance . Some getting back in more than once LOL.
thing is I have no time to play so I only Dun Scaithe once a week. I also figure augmented Shire is better in the long run, though I haven't done the math on secondary stats. so I mostly just lotted hat because, fuck why not?
edit: yeah, BiS for me (no Savage) is Augmented Shire all around, so w/e lol

I might catch some flak for this but... I'd rather wipe ten times in Mhach than listen to a bunch of people acting like children, swearing and calling each other retards because god forbid some people are new and struggle a bit. yes, it's old content, and people should be able to do it by now - but even so, those attitudes piss me off 10x more than the wipes. chill, be nice, educate the new people, and kick those who just can't/won't learn (like the BRD we kicked because he kept leaping from Ozma's platform...)
It depends on the group you end up with. It took awhile for me to find a really good linkshell but now I have one that's pretty solid.
Plus with x-server PFer you can now schedule stuff. I mean if you're on the Aether Data Server I could help with an A9S clear.
on the other hand, sometimes it's just not worth trying to talk a group through. I've had runs where i'm coaching the alliance, being all encouraging and shit, and people are responding, but we just can't get shit down cos our dps is low as fuck... and that's not something you can bring up.
