I'm getting sick of some of the people in this game.

    I was doing my fishing daily when I thought I better do my random for the frost badges. So, I'm in straight away after hitting random and end up running to the fight. The group was already on the first boss and nearly dead. I finely get there but, I'm still in my moonkin spec with fishing gear on. I healed my ass off and no one died. So, I say in the chat that "I'm in the wrong spec please wait". Unbelievably I get back "omg" "ffs " want me to heal". So, now I've change spec and outfit, but have zero mana. These guy's don't even wait and charge into a pack of adds. We'll I'm steaming from the comments they made to me, so I just sit there and I say to myself f***k- em if they can't even wait. Now they're all dead and I get " kick the healer" and then I blow saying" I cant' heal without mana you f***king dickheads and I asked you to wait" and then hit leave party. What is up with people. I've played this game from the begining and it was never this bad. A friend of mine just came back after six months break and got kicked from a random for having a low GS. He's an awesome player and was in the number one ranked guild on his server ffs and his gear was ok.

    Yep,
    Its funny the amount of abuse you can get in the game.

    I have a hunter i started playing again "had not used him for almost a year". His gear is not that good and his weapon is pants. Anyways i went into the auction house and bought a cheap Tank gun as it was twice as good as what i had "its item lvl is 264? i think so its good but cheap". But now im getting wispers from people linking me my gun and giving abuse :P

    Im a DPS class and i bought this gun to improve my DPS so what if its a tank gun it has helped me DPS about 500more on lvl 83 boss's :P

    The very funny thing about it all was last night at around 2:30am when i was called a Nerd and someother things by a tank cause i had the gun. I was thinking to my self who would be playing this game at 2:30am in at night in the middle of a week but only Nerds. So i was been called a Nerd by a fellow Nerd kind of made me LAUGH...

    In the end i told him to F**k Off but i think when ever i get a wisper i will just put them on ignore and not even anser them back.

    Random tards are the curse of the LFG system. I've had to make it very clear to groups in the past that if I'm not ready, then you're not ready. And you can forget about a rez after you've wiped again! It's the tank who'll dictate the pace, and if he's any good, he'll wait.

    And unless you're completely clueless about gear, then people shouldn't give too much grief, there's usually a reason for it, like the tank in vendor gear who's just been hacked...


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,366 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    The community has definitely gotten worse since Wrath. People expect to be handed things on a solver platter, and have gotten so elitist that its almost impossible to play without some retard giving you abuse for one thing or another. Not over 5k GS? 'N00b'. Make the slightest mistake? 'fagg0t'. Party wipes? 'omfg, learn to play u ****in noobs' and so on.

    The only solution if to just play with guildmates. That way, you cut out at least 50% of the retards :P

    If he's very good, and the healer is good, then he wont have to wait. I generally try to go as fast as my healer can keep me up when i'm tanking.

    Was playing a battleground the other night our side had captured the flag and i was killed near the flag bearer who i had'nt seen coming. Anyway some guy starts typing noob over the BG channel and is told to shut up by one of our teammates. So he then started whispering insults instead. Confusingly enough he told me to get a life :confused:.

    Anyway i decided to spend the rest of the BG whispering to him how his mother was'nt a noob at sucking me off.:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,339 ✭✭✭me-skywalker


    Honestly why do you give a fck if someone calls you a NOOb or gives you abuse its simple really just ignore them its only a game and honestly they'll just be as much delighted if you start feeding them back with more abuse.


    But I have to say i am finding the general groupings and people being such whingey bandits!! Like its the end of the world if you wipe. There is awlays goign to be 1 or 2 in a group nowadays who have never done some bosses or dungeons so just have patience and let them know to get mroe practice in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,333 ✭✭✭bad2dabone


    I'm not back playing long (no one every really quits wow!) and still trying to find my feet tanking but i'm doing fine, the other day I was running DrakTharon keep with a group and the healer starts running on and pulling more, (a tree druid) fair enough he's not going to die but if my abilities are on CD when he pulls then I cant get agro on the mobs, which is precisely what happened and the mage died. He says wtf tank? I said Let me do the pulling because I know when my cooldowns are up. The healer then says I'm a noob "5k GS lol", obviously I'm pretty annoyed at this stage, got to dred, pulled him and all the adds, left group.

    revenge is sweet


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,284 ✭✭✭pwd


    I generally find that people in the game are unusually friendly.
    maybe i am lucky with my battlegroup.

    Healer/tank need to be pretty clear and concise in your instructions. I say this with all due respect to the pro dps out there but the majority of dps are pretty much bots. They join a group and spam a few keys until they can collect loot. Most have very poor awareness or encounter knowledge and even more have poor class knowledge.

    So, personally, if you haven't spammed "oom" at least 5 times before they pulled, I think it is completely your fault.

    Healer/Tank is basically a Mummy/Daddy dynamic, bringing the kids to the zoo for a day to look at all the scary mobs. But don't worry, Mum and Dad will save you if you accidentally fall into the metaphorical lion's cage by being ****.

    Hell, the amount of pug runs now where the healer and I (the tank) did more damage than 1 or more dps just blows my mind. I understand people looking for Gear Scores these days, I was inspecting every member of any pug raid I ran personally, 9 months ago.

    The only problems I have with the current incarnation of WoW players is the fact that so many think they have earned so much and are so good at the game, when so few have actually accomplished enough to make that claim.

    It's one of the reasons I quit the game, sick of all the crap.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,126 ✭✭✭][cEMAN**


    You haven't really quit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    On the flipside (Tanking) I get annoyed when a Healer goes "wtf I needed mana!!" When he had half a pool or more and Im just taking trash. You dont need to be topped off, like. Lets just get **** done.

    The other one is of course ranged DPS that decides they know better so they try to basically off-tank their own target out of LoS to me. Or the Tank that queues as DPS and then wants to roll on Tanking Gear.

    I even had one DPS beg me to kick him from the group "Because I dont want to wait 30 mins lol". And force the next group he encounters to suffer him? Eh, no.

    But thats LFG. It turns people into Dillweeds, especially if theyre not on the same realm.

    How about the Jewelcrafter that doesnt mention any Fee but then after he cuts your gems he flashes them and trade and scoffs at your Tip. "Double that or else. Your call." That had me raging. Either mention your fee before I give you mats or take your tip like a man. Its not like it cost you more than 45 seconds of your time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,717 ✭✭✭Nehaxak


    I have a chat button/setup for random dungeons. It contains loot info/rolls, Guild chat and whispers only.
    So no matter what anyone says, I cba as I can't see it to let it annoy me. I do the same for the BG's.
    Given there's tons of kids playing the game, and I'm a little older, I really don't want to be arguing with children or having to put up with them calling each other noobs, cocks, fanny's or whatever.

    You don't need chat unless your with friends/guildies so it doesn't matter, 90% of the time it'll be retardedness anyway, just type in "/p Hi" at the start and get on with the instance.

    :D.. what would you call those that heal while also topping the dps meters ????


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,966 ✭✭✭✭syklops


    Its the same when anything goes main stream. I sometimes wish boards wasn't mainstream anymore. And I wish the internet wasnt main stream. I'd love to go back to the days when to get on the internet you had to have a modem and understand how it works. It was a great sort of IQ entry test. Shame Boards, the internet, and WoW cant have a similar hurdle that might keep some of the Tards out.

    Yeah the community reminds me of the abuse infested MW2 community these days.
    Ive quit for the umteenth time recently but this time its been longer than normal thanks to other games coming good.
    Currently playing and really enjoying some single player RPGs to give me my RPG fix.
    Sometimes its just nice to craft your own destiny in a game and not be reliant on other players.
    Currently playing Mass Effect and torchlight on PC, enjoying them so much ive ordered Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age Origins,should get them this week.

    Having said that no doubt wow will suck me back at some stage ,it always does but this time its been longer than usual.

    Hurry up already :P i've even levelled a healer now :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,140 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    just ingore them...

    The only time you in into retards is in pugs or lfg. I dont run LFG anymore cause I just dont need the frost emblems for gear, and for the one character I do, I'm just going to keep up ICC runs till I get the badges, I cant be ****ed going into LFG, why? Because of the amount of ****ters.

    There was a time when "hitcap" actually was important. Now dont get me wrong, its still vitally important, but not for 80% of the lfg community. People ding 80 and go straight into LFGs, expecting to be carried to gear and badges, its the most frustrating thing ever.

    I'll probably get back into doing my dailies on my DK cause he needs a few tier pieces, but its going to be painful.

    Do your job as best you can, and thats it, ignore the moans and stupid talk. And if its too much, you can just leave, there is no onus to stay.

    You just miss my uber healing saving your rogue ass ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,220 ✭✭✭✭m5ex9oqjawdg2i


    I usually ignore them, but there are some cases where the person is just that annoying, so I whisper the healer and ask him not to heal the person giving the greif. Then I let him pull aggro ;) Rince and repeat. Heroics can be three manned anyway, so one DPS less is fine.

    Saying that, if the healer or tank is being a díck, I normally ask them to keep quiet, It's not hard to get in people to replace them, if you have any patience.

    Since the begining of the game there have been lots of elitist fools playing. These are the people that ruin the game completely. If you have a different spec to their cookie cutter spec, if your gear is odd, or your playing style is different, then you don't know what you are doing, that's a load of bull. But you have to learn that these are ignorant sheep, that follow a manual and anything outside that manual is wrong. They also set a gear standard, which is also bull, as we all know any idiot can get top end gear with boosts and the likes. What can we do about these knobs? Nothing... If it has gotten to the stage that your game is ruined by these fools then it is time to find another game.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 504 ✭✭✭cypharius


    I remember when WOTLK just came out and people kept hurling abuse at me for "NOT TANKING FFS" when I was trying to explain that I wasn't in the instance, and had just joined the group, honestly, I'm in a cycle of quitting the game, remembering how much fun it was, reinstalling, getting pissed off by people bitching about how my gear sucks(I like to have gear with a bit more mana so that I can spam AOE), or people running ahead when I clearly tell them to wait, or worst of all, people who down right refuse to let me attack first, or won't get behind me so I can pull(In cases of avoiding patrolls).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,174 ✭✭✭D


    I don't play wow anymore (for now) but I found that the amount of arrogant rude people is much lower on RP servers. You actually don't need to RP just do an /emote every so often and you avoid 90% of the frustrating stuff.

    "what the hell is a defense cap!?"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,126 ✭✭✭][cEMAN**


    There is no defense cap. There is a chance to be crit by a raid boss of 5.6% (5.4% from a dungeon boss) that needs to be protected against. You can do this either by reaching 460 resilience, 540 defense (689 defense rating), or a combination of both. For dungeon bosses, you need 535 defense (665 defense rating), 443 resilience, or again a combination of both. Druids have a talent which makes them immune to crit from raid bosses.

    Past 540 defense, you are fully crit immune, but you continue to gain miss/dodge/parry/block%'s, recalculated ofc by diminishing returns (block isn't affected by diminishing returns on defense).

    So before people make jest of those who don't know what 'defense cap' is, make sure you know what you're talking about first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,527 ✭✭✭copeyhagen


    didnt i read that def is / was being removed?

    just resubbed yesterday. i fail at quitting


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,333 ✭✭✭bad2dabone


    aye Def will be removed.

    When I first decided to switch from holy to protection as a paladin I concentrated on getting 102.4% avoidance (after getting def capped) which ended up that I had low-ish stamina for a tank (30 odd k at the time tier 8 content). I took very little damage off heroic bosses, once I kept holy shield up which I always do. But I was kicked from many heroic groups before they even started and couldnt even get into a pug naxx10 because of my low HP. I was SO angry a lot of the time. So feck it I said I let my avoidance fall below 102.4% to about 95% and built up my stamina, just to appease the morons.

    Now i'm at 101% with 42k health and find it hard to get accepted into an ICC10.
    they're looking for 50k plus.

    Tis a funny old game.

    At least my priest is accepted into groups otherwise I think i'ld quit again.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,126 ✭✭✭][cEMAN**


    50k unbuffed?

    Avoidance was great before ICC. 102.4% was the crushing blow cap before WotLK, and now it's just good against Anub adds. Since ICC came out though, the emphasis is on Effective Health - Stamina & Amour. You still need to be uncrittable, and stamina emphasis can be hard on healers for healing up soaked damage, but the armour makes up for it. High HP with low armour is a waste of time. You may as well be a mage with high HP.

    That's fair. You're looking at just under 40 unbuffed to reach that, before the 10% buff. Obviously if you can get 50k fully raid buffed, the 10% will put you to 55k. You can do the earlier bosses with less than this (about 48k+/37k unbuffed), but to do it comfortably 50k is a good figure. Paladins are overpowered when it comes to standing firm in a boss fight now, so matching the other tanks for HP, playing right, you should be able to outlast them.

    You'd be best to aim for about 30k buffed again to be comfortable. More is better. Armor reduces the % of physical damage you take. Stamina can soak up magical damage. If it's all physical though, it works out as

    Effective Health is approx = (Health / (100-reduction%))*100 (other factors come into play like class talents such as paladin Ardent Defender reducing dmg further below 35% HP)

    %Reduction = (Armor / (Armor - 22167.5 + 467.5 * Enemy_Level)) * 100

    So as an example for effective health, if you had 65% reduced dmg vs a boss, and 30k health, that would be (30,000 / (100-65))*100 = (30,000 / 35)*100 = 857.14*100 = 85,714 effective health before class talents.

    The more armour you have, the less physical damage you take as a %, so your effective health (amount of dmg you can take before dying without heals) goes up.

    As I mentioned before though, if it's magical damage or unavoidable damage without reductions like resists, large amounts of health will help soak it up, so you're not getting 1 or 2 shotted, and the healers have time to react.

    Was tanking a HC last night, and a rogue kept pulling mobs, because i was stopping to loot bodies. So i said "ffs, stop pulling please", the response was "ffs move faster". I told him, we go at my pace (which mostly depends on how good the healer is), so the rogue pulled again while i stopped for 3 secs to loot a body, i told em to enjoy his repair bill and left. Finished the daily i was doing and joined a new hc within seconds.

    Mind you it's not always bad, i mostly find people will take the good with the bad. GS and DPS mean feck all to me, i was one of those ppl struggling with my char, dps & GS for along time (im now just under 5k from just doing hc's).

    Ive come along way since ive started tanking, and never have problems now in hc's, other than with HoR (think thats the one, the one with the lich king following u). When i first started hc's as a dps, i didnt have a clue about tacs on any of them, i was always a pug. Now i know all the hc's inside and out, and i never have any problem what so ever with taking time out to explain things to ppl and give them advice on how not to make the same mistake again.

    Try bein a skinner as a tank :rolleyes: Especially if theres another skinner in the group and its something like VH where can't really pause :(

    If the rogue had any brains he woulda at least been using tricks of the trade to misdirect the mobs onto you :p

    I have a rogue main, and dk tank(skinner) alt :P

    You should try WG on my server (bloodfeather), when the option to transfer factions came in, everyone and there mother went horde on my server, and ally was already in the minority.

    Saying that though, doing WG with 175k hp can be queit funny. Its fun one shotting horde when you have buffs you get from fighting with 10 ally against a 100 horde;).

    was doing an instance today, tank and healer were insulting each other for the whole bloody duration of it, i asked them politely to stop bickering and to get on with the instance and i was ignored
    so i told them in a slightly more.... aggressive manner and i was swiftly told by the tank that i have less GS then him so i should stfu
    i was very close to leaving at that point but i had to hold on for the daily
    i hope to christ i dont get another retard like that again but i think the odds are stacked against me:P

    I always hate when a group starts bickering because it nearly always mean that people will leave and ill have to queue for another dungeon. In my experience, it nearly always seems to be the tank who initiates the arguing.

    So sometimes it happens that when I'm on alts, people will find out who I am and be like "Omg ossum!" or ignore me.
    The other day in BG I got called a "trade spamming hoe" and some other unpleasant names...And just because I chat! Silly people...

    atm my guild have moved my postion in the guild from helping with raids to reports on the general mood and atmosphere of the guild due to childish bickering withing /g and private whispers between the tanks. i have to post a summery on how each member acted at certian points.

    ( dose anyone know a program that will put my chat into a txt document for me so i can log everything typed ? )

    last night i got into a lovely raid group . we wiped loads. no one quit we got 7 bosses down in icc and agree'd to friend eachother for future invites to pug. everyone got some gear nothing waisted and some people got achievements that they were missing out on

    the atmosphere generated by 1 rotton egg in this game can make a lot of people quit. i know 3 people who have now changed faction on outland. ( alliance scum )

    at liest there is a select few that i always raid / pug with knowing that each of us can have a laugh at eachother and dont worry about repair bills. after all if you cant afford to wipe you reely shouldnt be raiding

    Sounds fair enough tbh... The trade chan is for trade last time I checked, not random chat:p

    Got my first kick yesterday.

    Doing a normal FoS, cleared. Normal PoS again cleared. Then got kicked going into the last part. :p

    Only hit lvl 80 about 2 hours earlier so my gear and as such DPS was rubbish. 1.3kdps not enough but srsly, it was on normal. We had not wiped or anything.

    I've skipped random heroics for now until I get some better gear. Good thing the guild is there to carry my sorry ass through for some :D

    I thought the idea of random heroics were to get better gear once you hit 80? I'm only a few levels away now, but that was my plan - am I totally wrong?

    Yes

    Random heroics are not for you to get carried through.

    Before you enter ANY heroics when you hit 80, take the small time it takes to ensure you are ATLEAST hitcapped.

    When you walk into your first random heroic at 80 after acquiring your hit cap, you will atleast be useful in some shape or form.

    Dont just stroll in expecting the rest of the group to carry you, or you will just get kicked.

    I did 3 random hc's last week with a healer that just dinged 80 that hour, he had all greens and blues. First 2 went ok, only a couple dps got spanked. But the third wasnt happening. I couldnt care less what type of gear of dps someone is doing tbh, as long as they can do the job. Anyone who has any understanding of their class and does as much dps as their gear allows, is more than welcome in any hc i tank.

    Where as people whinging and moaning about GS and DPS can go take a running jump, i play WoW for light enjoyment, not to judge people on how good or bad they are at playing it. Im always polite and dont feel the need to bash someone who is at a point where i was once. People who start crying like a b1tch will get kicked from my group, or failing that, ill just bail.

    Thats my opinion anyway, not everyone is gonna like it. But im indifferent whether they do or not. Manners dont cost anything, and grouping with people who have them, makes the game more enjoyable for me anyway.

    *thats not a dig at you Doc, just my take on the WoW experience.
