Same here.
I usually play via mobile data and it was working 2 hours ago, now all I get is the connection error pop up, regardless of the Google DNS and properties change.
Strangely my potato modem wifi still works, however it’s unplayable with 1k ping and frequent lag spikes.
He’s one of these characters that are developed “right”.
We were introduced to him when he was a villain and his transformation has been gradual and steady. In every part of the story there is something a little bit new about him that’s always in thematically consistent with his core identity, to prove himself.
He went from someone who refused to live under the firstborns’ shadow to a regretful villain searching for redemption, a sylvari who’s not a thrall of the dragon, then a proven and dignified man trying to get away from his last shackles.
I’d argue his frequency of sass is a little bit too much (it’s in all of his dialogues), but at least it’s a huge step up from Braham’s whinge on everyone’s mothers. In comparison, Marjory, Kasmeer, Rox and Taimi haven’t change at all, which is a real shame because I’d like to see how Rox’s interaction with Rytlock changes and Taimi change her role after losing Scruffy
And Braham… well. I know there is overcoming grieving and all that, but it doesn’t mean you have to throw a character down the valley of stupidity just to show how much further they can climb after.
Sorry that you had a bad experience. I only kick people if they either skip Lupicus, don’t read my LFG posts, or actively go out of my way to **** with me.
You know, it gives me strange reassurance to know that maybe I just had some bad luck (I should have known it’s not my day when everyone in the map dced 10min before Teq) ran into this one particular person that bothers a lot of people. So maybe it’s not as common as I thought it was and lfg can still be trusted (to some degree)
Of course I’m still going to try to play Arah and perhaps learn things from this forum. Again I would like to apologize to the real hard working people who put in effort in soloing Arah. I was being too sour and shouldn’t make topics/comments like that when my head wasn’t clear. It’s sad when you deserve your just reward, some cheat to get it and ruin your reputation.
Was one guy from TS? I remember I ran with a guy like that that constantly called everyone “worthless”, pretended to be a zerk warrior when he was obviously a shout heal condi warrior and kicked me for not having a ranged weapon at lupi. Needless to say, he was blocked very promptly.
Yes, Shatterer Inc. I can’t remember what the other guy’s guild is though, it has a really long name.
Now that you mentioned it, he did constantly bragged how he’s healing everyone in the team and how high his healing power is, and nagging about “must range” when we got close to Lupi. Did that person in your team happen to be a charr warrior too?
I thought he’s kidding or just excited as being “the more experienced one” in the team(why carry the commander badge in dungeon?), because some kids do that. I was only slightly irritated towards his put down during the dungeon as I was naive enough to believe it’s too easy to misinterpret joking as malice on the internet, but I guess I’ll now take face value and see him and maybe his friend(s) as people who actually find self-esteem by abusing others on the internet.
Omg was the Charr warrior talking about himself in third person?
I don’t know if I should name people on the forum. But it’s like you can read my mind.
Yes! I do noticed he likes to constantly refer/praise himself in third person! “[charactername] is ten times mightier than thor!”

That risk is present whenever you buy a slot from a seller.
Sellers face a similar risk, too, which is getting kicked out of their own instances by bitter/envious people and having to start over.
Still, it’s better to let one guilty man walk free than to unjustly punish an innocent.
Thing is, we didn’t buy anything, it’s purely “arah p3 lfg”. We got kicked AFTER reaching the final boss, meaning we DID put in effort in all the boss before that, including Lupi.
They used lfg to get people to work for them then SELL the dungeon and said they soloed it. I’m perfectly fine with soloers getting their respect and all but selling have obviously attracted undesirable behaviors and affected the game in a very undesirable fashion. I totally lost my trust in these so called soloers unless they have the vid to back it up.
Now even when doing lfg for just for the fun of it, I need to watch out for people like these (especially confident people who said they soloed it) because I don’t know if they just want to use me as a tool for cash grab. When we condone selling or money dealing in dungeons, things get ugly. I don’t know if there is a way to fix it or benefit true soloers but for now I’m certain selling affects even people who just want to do dungeons normally.
But just for these decent soloers who really topped the techniques/mechanics of the game, I salute to you.
The best you can do is watch out for obvious red flags, such as two people from the same guild, especially if they’re suspiciously quiet/distant. Not many are cynical enough to share a joke with someone they’re about to backstab.
Still, I hope you don’t ever find yourself in such an undesirable situation in the near future.
Good luck.
They weren’t in the same guild. And one of them is not only acting as if high, “I’m ten times mightier than thor!”(direct quote, guess it has something to do with his name), but also verbally abusing everyone in the team, such as calling people worthless when they are downed.

*Turns out I can!
I might be a bit sour but I guess that’s what happened when you got scammed, or trolled in this case because we had no intention of doing any deal at the first place.
We have a lfg team doing arah p3, purely exp in title and no selling involved, in fact the dungeon host and another person are there for the first time.
Near the end, the other two people, the self-proclaimed elitists, kicked me and another person out and start selling the dungeon. I have screenshots and all and even the dungeon host whispered me to apologize.
Makes you wonder how many of these self-proclaimed soloers actually “soloed” the dungeon, or they just used lfg to get people to do their works for them.
