I chewed her out for it then the only Cleric in our group with Revive came by and caught Marlones attention. Unfortunately, I was too close and got caught in his AoE along with the stupid Cleric. I had already died two times before this so I just teleported back to Roumen. I was so annoyed and when I heard the GM announce that Apoline was going to be down I just said "Eff this, i'm logging off now". I'm tired of getting stuck in Kingdom Quests filled with incompetent morons. ~_~

You do realize that some of these, what did you call them?, incompetent morons, are kids. My son plays this game and he is only 11, I have yet to let him try a KQ, because of people like you, who might not realize that not everyone can be as smart as you (that was with saracasm), and that it may be their first KQ, or they may be a child!! Or that some people make mistakes.
I was recently in a Pirates KQ, where while we were all shroomed up, someone shroomed too close to Mara and pulled her. No one bitched, yelled, or cussed this person out. We all just jumped out of our shrooms, a cleric revived the poor dead mushroom, and we took her out. In that same KQ, I pulled the real Marlone and Mara in the end, however, I was forced to pull a fake Mara due to positioning, Everyone said that is was fine, because some people needed her for their quests. After we took the fake Mara out, I was able to pull the real Mara, however, I pulled her too soon, and when I ran back down the stairs, everyone was still shroomed up. No one yelled at me, or called me a moron. They all jumped up and took her out, a cleric revived me, and we succeeded. The point is, I was in there with a great group of people, who laughed about the things we were doing and it was FUN. We didn't have anyone in there that thought he/she was the greatest thing that ever walked through Isya.
It is a game and kids play games too. If you cannot comprehend that, and everything that everyone does annoys you, maybe it is you that might need to take a break from the game.

P.S. Hopefully this is not construde as flaming, but every post I read from you, is you criticizing other people and it annoys me. If you are a child, you need to rethink the way you view things, and if you are an adult, then quit acting like a child.

QFT

Yet there are sometimes, where people do do-it just to make everyone else angry. I remember one of my first KQ's we had someone pull 3-4 fakes at the end just because he didn't get into the main tanks party.

The problem is there are people who are younger and more mature and expect everyone else to be. In fact, 75% of the KQ's I did have these people. Just like the kids and that we have to be understanding of them, we should be understanding of the people that have a hard time understanding(if that makes any sense ^.^).

All in all, the person who pulled marlone said he was sorry and noone gave it a second look. Everyone forgave him and we went on. No 'biggie.

Thanks sweetie! Momma needed a reminder too as she has gotten irritated with people pulling the fakes also. It may have been unintentional (except one person who shall remain nameless [mostly cuz I have to think too hard to recall his name right now]) or it may have been that the fake was in the way. Unless you are at the top of the steps to see the other side (which, BTW, makes you very vulnerable to instant death) you really can't be sure how it came down the way it did.

We need to keep reminding all of us to be more patient and understanding.

Also, I was in a Pirate KQ when it went down also - just saw that as a sign I needed to call it a day and go to bed

Totally agree. You can either be a victim or a victor - your choice how you deal with things that come at you.

**Blaaaaaaaah** · 10-19-2007, 03:29 PM

Haha, Spirit's post also gave me a wake up call. I always yell at those who did something stupid. -Tries to calm self down-

-Turns around and yell at Dyna-

Your post was filled with so much insults, and other unnecessary remarks. And all that for what? Because someone got you killed in a game? It's not even to the point where they intentionally harassed you, or tried to kill anyone for that matter. People make mistakes. Sure, there are those who seem highly incapable of working in a group during KQs, and make more mistales than others but it's not as if they're intentionally trying to make anyone's gamign experience worse. Words such as that is better reserved for the truely deserving.

There are many things that causes group experiences such as Kingdom Quests unenjoyable. One being the situation that you've mentioned in your post, and the other situation when one looks down on others and "Chews them out" for a mistake they made in a game. Now, let me ask this, which do you think results in a more ruined gaming experience?

Thank god for the Mini Dragon KQs, for the time being.

I apologize for the rant. :x

No apology needed. What you said is the truth, the same as me. What makes the experience worse? People who constantly insult and "chew out" other people, or someone making a mistake? Even if they pull the wrong one or do something on purpose, people should always try to be better than them and just make the best of it.

Woot, I started a trend of self realization. I think it gave everyone a wake-up call, including me. Sometimes we forget that we are not the center of the universe and that their are people other than us around.

KY_Jelly · 10-19-2007, 11:54 PM

to those saying people make mistakes. you guys do know that when i got bored on my archer I'd AOE three fake bosses at a time when i pulled right? some people (like me) really are just dicks and we are easily amused by little things that may or may not ruin other players experiences. and i know i'm not alone in this because every time i do it there is at least one other person laughing at everyone whining.

but back on topic. the GMs really do need to schedule their server down times more apropriately. I heard a horror story that Apoline went down when there was 4 seconds left on the Robo KQ. And this was a scheduled maintainance, not an emergency one. seems a bit unplanned dont ya think?
