Hi
Not run a single dungeon since I joined the game. Been trying, but with no luck.
This hasn’t been a problem so far as like most mature players I have to work for a living. Game time is limited to a few hours these days, especially during the week. So definitely a casual player. But one who’s still been able to work up a number of 50+ (one 80) chars, mostly solo with a bit of WvW now and then.
However, I really feel I’m missing out on most of the content in a great game.
PuGs I have tried to join have to date either been speed runs (wanting exp dungeon runners) with no time or inclination to show a dungeon n00b the ropes, or kids who kick for not being ’l33t enough, not being level 80, or having full exotics to run AC (draw your own conclusions. . .) and again who have zero time, patience or inclination to teach a player new to dungeons.
Been playing MMOs for over a decade. (and games for much longer). Was in a committed raid guild in WoW; A very active and large Nullsec corp in EvE; Raid kin in LotRO; SWTOR raidguild, etc. all on TS or Vent (whatever). So I know what I’m doing.
Definitely not ‘l33t’ (nor do I want to be) but definitely not too shabby as a player either; work well as a team player and listen to instructions. So how the kitten do you get into dungeons in GW2? How hard can they be that the bar is raised so high? Bet they’re not that hard either once you’ve grasped the tactics. Yet only had s**tty experiences with pick-ups so far. I’ve more or less given up trying to run dungeons and mostly just done solo PvE for the last 2 months.
Would like to join a laidback friendly bunch of mature casual players on Underworld who’d be happy teach a noob proper group mechanics, and then have fun thrashing dungeons/bosses/content together.
Cheers
Lax
