Thanks for help

[old.Ebeneezer]

Thanks to people who have helped me lvl recently. You know who you are; in fact, see the healer thread for names I am honoured you gave up your free time to help me. My shaman will be ready to help power your alts at the appointed time.

Thanks is not extended to anyone (singular or plural, you can guess) who promises to power me and keeps avoiding the issue. Just don't bother promising me anything and raising my expectations.

Someone said they would help me Friday evening, but changed the time to 4pm Friday. When I mentioned that I'd be at work I'd at least expect a courtesy reply...not silence At least discuss an alternative if you really want to help me

Same person could not get me into a group in Malmo. OK, I accept it happens, but I get pissed if the same person thens PMs me later after I died trying to leave Malmo with a message saying "I need you". Do you expect me to die coming back in too?

What hurts more is that I stayed up on a week night once until 4am to power this person. I got up at 6am for work. In anyones book that is a big sacrifice for a lower level. I can't see it being reciprocated.

Don't get me wrong: this is not a demand to be powered...nobody has that right. Nor is it a demand for compensation for giving up 4 hours sleep to power someone. This is merely to highlight unfair behaviour and make people think twice about what they say and promise.

This did not happen to me but, it has happened to a very good friend of mine. while in Emain in a full 8 group 2 healers 2 warriors, skald 2 Bezerkers, my friend was one of the warriors, ok he was the lowest lvl but as this is his alt character he has all of the top equippment etc etc can can easily pull aggro from anyone, higher lvl than himself.

Then it is announced by one in the group, that a Shaman is coming to join, remember at this time the group is full. 5 mins later said Shaman turns up, (i will not name the person, but I ask to look at who originally posted this post) following the Shaman was a little rune, After dicussions it was decided that, ohh becasue we need Shaman in group to see who to heal. (as i said before they allready had 2 healers) and we need the rune master for runic fend. (note that due to the warriors protecting / guarding the bezerkers they were hardly getting hit) It was decided that my good friend, who was the lowest lvl by 1 was asked to leave (with the promise of well you can leech) I do understand that maybe he would have got maybe a little more XP from this leeching, (but there was the damger of himm getting aggro even if just tapping the mobs) But it was the principle of how this happened, while many people who know me personally know that I dont mind leeching and have done on many an occasion, my good friend unfortunately does not see the point in leeching. As he was originally the first person invited to join said group, as it was said "we need a good tank will you join"

You may wonder why I am posting this message and he is not, well let me explain. on that night I was prepared to go to Malm and pull mobs with him aand help him power lvl a bit, but he decided not to becasue he had XPed with the original group all night the night before. This has unfortunately pushed the said person over the edge, and I know believe that he will persue a said job as a Albion on Pwreden, I for one find this sad, as not only do I lose a good friend in the game, what the bloody hell am i supposed to talk to him about, on a lunch time at work.

Sorry for this moan and ramble, but I just thought It needed to be said, as the Warrior, also has a high lvl Hunter who he no longer plays due to (some of his own problems eg speccing, and not being able to get groups etc etc) while I will say this person does not say a lot, and is in all account shy, as he was a founder member of the Guild he is in he does I believe deserve a small anount of respect.

While this is not a flame at any one person, and I for one must be the king of flames normally of AC (from which I have faced my punishment and been banned from speaking on it) I find that this game as stated in some of Novamirs posts, is getting a little dated, the race for lvl 50 the race for drops, gets a little tiresome after a time.

I for one will be lvling my little hunter as fast as possible (yer im an XP whore) thats if anyone will invite me or have me in a group. And when i reach lvl 50 will go to Cg and Albion XP grounds and kill grey green, XPers. before you all flame me. Its the only bit of fun I get, and before you all jump on the XP kill band waggon, many people have done it to me. and i will just finish with this comment

Xping in the Frontiers, involves RISK that risk will be me, so you have been warned. If you dont like XP death then dont, XP in frontiers full stop.

As as the text on the screen goes:-
xxxxxx was just killed by Tarticus
bye bye that 2-3 hrs of XP ohh and enjoy, your new grave

If you mean me Tart then say it. Let's get this out in the open if you think I have done wrong. You strongly imply it's me and the tone of your message therefore does not put me in a good light. Heard of libel?

Last night there was some trouble in an Emain party I was involved. My friend, coincidentally, is a small runie. He invites me to join a party in emain for xp, saying that there is a slot. I happily agree and inform the runie that I'm on my way. When I turn up with the runie to the party they have 7 already

At first they invited me in, but left the runie to leech. All the group were 39-42 with one exception, a lvl 37 viking named Gola (spelling?). For everyones benefit it made sense to put the runie in his place for the group fend, plus he'd get better xp leeching. Also the party gets better xp as the gap in max to min lvls is less. We tried explaining this to him but got no reply whatsoever. When someone suggested disbanding him he said "fuck this" and stormed off.

I don't know if he was the last to be invited or not, but clearly the party leader made a mistake getting too many. However, in these circumstances, everyone must listen to reason and do what's best for the party. I felt sorry for the guy, but I as was aware my runie friend, already in the party, got me a slot after consulting with the others.

I sincerely hope you are not refering to me Tart. I'd hope you would at least tell me if it was me you're referring to. Anyway I don't think you are because the remaining 8 were:

Me (shaman)
Djiin (runie)
Miraculix (healer)
Mauruder (tank)
Casirighi (tank)
Eeny (SB)
Runoff (tank)
and a zerker I can't remember name of.

Definitely no skald though and only 1 healer. A shaman is NOT a healer, despite what people think

Of course you may be refering to another incident altogether. Either way, either name me and prove it or reword your message as it's provocative.

Really odd thread.

 

[old.Ransom]

ya

 

[old.Ebeneezer]

The thread is simple really:

- genuine thanks to people who have helped
- no thanks to someone who I go out of my way to help, then get seemingly false promises to help me. I just don't need this BS.

It seems to me that Tart's friend turned down a Malmo powering with Tart to party with his friends from the night before. The party then shat on him in favour of this shaman (me in I infer) and his runie friend (Djiin I guess). Consequently the guy is angry and may leave Mid

All I say is that if you are referring to me Tart, I would not act in a manner to grief another fellow mid like this. Djiin is a good friend yes, but I would not demand that the party take me and Djiin and kick one player out. It's just not my style.

Maybe Tart thinks I have no right to complain about parties as I am being blamed for his friends anxiety.

Also, the rest of the post belongs in another thread in my opinion.
