Hello everyone. My name is Arijani from the Desolation server. What I intend to do, with all-goodness-in heart is try to utilize my poor English for the sake letting people know how to handle random players into their assault in Twilight Arbor. I was driven to do so from numerous posts I read and personal experiences in PUGs.
1.Dictionary
Noob: A person who is new to the game or has fewer achievement points than you or just entered the dungeon for the first time or dies more than you.
Mob: A mob is monster or any hostile NPC that is not a boss
Boss: A boss is tough moster or hostile NPC, that has significantly more Heath than mobs, gives better loot than mobs and needs q certain approach in order to defeat it. Also, a boss is commonly the main objective of a dungeon.
Aggro: The situation in which the mob/boss is aggravated by your behavior and decides to attack you intead of others in the same dungeon as you are. How this happens? Please consult the wiki for more info.
Kiting: An act of dragging a mob/boss that has aggro on you accord an area for q specific reason. Referred to as kiting due to the similarity of a person flying a kite and dragging it to where he pleases.
OOC: Means out of combat
I felt the need to point out these terms as I shockingly found out that some of my teammates didn’t know.
General Code of Conduct
or
How to behave when socializing online in a gaming environment
1. Be polite. The fact that you don’t look your other teammates in the eye or the chance that you will never meet again doesn’t exclude the option of showing some manners. Bad language for no apparent reason is a factor that will immidiately alienate you from the rest of your team. Do not forget that all of you are in the same place to have fun.
No matter what some people are just rude or you might find that some people are not the best people to work with you. For that there is the block feature.
2. Acknowledge the reason someone has started a vote to kick a teammate. Discuss it, wait, try to find a solution. It could be you in the kicked one’s shoes, finding out you were booted out of a dungeon with no apparent reason.
It occurred to me witnessing teammates of my own seconding a vote to kick someone just because they saw the window. “I thought the guy who imitated the vote had his reasons” is not a valid excuse.
3. People might need a break. 1 or 2 or 5 minutes in my opinion is an understandable period of time in which someone from you team might need to relax, use a restroom or have a sudden issue in RL that needs solving. In this category I think falls the situation of the disconnected teammate. Allow some time to see if the player in question comes back online or just faked a reason to quit the effort of trying a difficult encounter with you.
4. There are more professions than Warrior/Guardian. I was kicked from a TA group just because I was an Engineer. I don’t know if that is a global GW phenomenon, but in many a time have I stumbled upon people saying: LFG … no noob classes, and when I asked what noob classes were I got the response: Engineers, Rangers, Thieves.
I find this sad and ill thought of, since the person looking for a group states that people who choose some classes over others have a greater benefit than us lesser professionals.
I don’t want to sound whiny or kitteny for some issues and I understand that some classes offer resources that others can’t, such as Time Warp, Portals, Warrior dps and banners, Guatdian survivability etc.
Thank you for tolerating my rant from my point of view, with my opinion stated only, ill conceived or not, please comment spread the word or feel free to disagree constructively.
