Guild Wars 2

Just like to know your success story on co-ordinating pugs to do content that requires a bit more tactics than the normal dragon boss that you just spam stand in one spot and skill 1 auto-attack.

I try to help, inform random people politely and patiently to do an event like marionette event, yet people don’t want to help or listen, no-one wants to communicate e.g. say how many people on their lanes etc. or not say anything at all, and just results in them zerg rushing aimlessly.

I only had partial success, but that involved getting a group of guildies willing to do most of the work, but a majority of the random players we try to help do the negative above and ended up failing the event.

Simple step by step instructions. Repetition of instruction. Talking about what builds people should have in addition to the mechanics themselves. Delegating tasks.

The most important rule is realizing that not everyone learns at the same pace. Expect to fail, but accept that it’s a part of the learning process. You’re going to have to deal with people you don’t want to deal with, inside and even outside of the game. But if you’re stuck with those people it’s in everyone’s best interest that you work together and not against each other.

I just say, “Hi” in party chat and we go about our business. I actually work faster in PUG groups than I do in my own guild. PUGs tend to be very good speed runners. Guildies are typically not very good players (unless you’re in a speed run guild or some other “pro” guild) and are there to hang out and chill out on Teamspeak or Vent. They don’t have the sense of urgency that a speed runner has.

That’s my experience doing dungeons and fractals.

I only PUG, PUG is great, learn from PUG, wiped with PUG. If the PUG is not working, just leave, no hard feeling. Wonderful PUG. However, I found myself never able to make the PUG work with me, I always work with the PUG… I am too easy going
