Guild Wars 2

This topic isnt constructive nor grammatically easy to follow.

Please edit and refrain from hate rants or such posts get ignored by devs.

Welp, im no expert but,

The pink quaggan plants a spike
into the body, ok,
Said quaggan rides up a water spout and i guess spike is gone?
Quaggan rides up and down the spout and ejected off…

Ummm

Is spike still present?
Why a pink quaggan?
Why do i get weird thoughts right now just from first glance?
Am i the only one that sees something “odd” for which i cant say.

If you have say rifle with piercing rounds, lead him to the protection totem always right behind the totem on it. Shoot directly thru the totem and to boss.

Lead the boss to follow you to the totem. Heres the fun i play.
>- hold a sweet spot of pulling him around the totem
>-Shoot him point blank melee range.
>-Keep the bosses. Agro
>-Party plant AoE on the totem where you have boss
Rifle will play a hold on agro and be just enough distance to avois his axe spin. Keep shooting point blank as team nuke from distance. Only works if you play the boss aroun a round the totem till he stays put point blank.
A)reduces axe spin casualties
B)funny to pull boss round the totem he cant walk over.
C)beware of bugging into a spawned totem and gettinf stuck

It a play on agro

Fun post i must say as many lines do get stuck in my head. Most posted ones i thought of here i add.

AC is not the only one that has broken dialog, so does HoTW. “What wha what is dis. What tis thiss what what is this MY OWN FLESH!” -Angry dungeon kodan

“I see you with bloody weapons but i dont feel your rage. I dont see you hungy for more battle” …. “i killed 10 kodans and im not even tired” …. “weakling” …. “ive killed mothers and fathers!, Now i hunt their children!” …. “ha thats the spirit…” O_O – conversation of hotw boss and mob.

“HELP that so called farmer just hit me in the face!” Queensdale npc during water pipe event.

“Struggle and fail!” Arah gate boss

“You look tough, lets wrestle” norn boy

“Your hair is pretty” norn girl

“Im rich you know” – dashing lord feren.

“Watch the ledges” – claw of jormag NPC

“Rely on steel, not false gods”- iron legion

CoE NPC dies “dont let the enemy see me bleed”… gurl you are dead.

“If i get another farmer selling me rotten vegetables ill scream. Got any spearheads? i got a quaggan thats begging for them” 20 gold for centuar spearheads gasp “20?!? Yesterday they were 10” today 20. – Traders
At the TP

>-Things characters say
“Fire burns!”
“Going hypothermic!”
“My strength INCREASES!”
“Barglhfhggh SUCH MIGHT!”
…and other male norn grunts lol with greatsword
“Wooo, ha, wuuu” human female jumping

I said “how Interesting” before i heard how asurans said it, IRL same way.

I say again BY OGDENS HAMMER, what savings.

Random NPC in Lions Arch: “By Ogden’s Hammer, what savings!”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgv7U3GYlDY

I laughed so hard when I first heard that NPC say that. I then quit the game and watched Galaxy Quest again.

OMG ty for making my night i laughed so hard i cried a bit.

“Splish splash. Four Norns in a bath.”

My most favorite skill point area to roleplay chill at. Hot springs in the still serene winter. Only the crackle of woods in the distance by roaming deer. Paradise to me.

cafard.8953:

On that note devs, let me say that there’s a missed dialogue opportunity. Kasmeer never reacts to some random dude wandering around with a bikini-clad mini-her!

I was hoping for some well-deserved putdown, but no, nothing. Awwww…

Not sure what you talking bout but tis funny i carry around mini kasmeer and peeps often say whos naked barbie doll mini is that?

Hah, its a bikini people XD ever since living story my mini went 16g to 49g :P

Kasmeer on Kasmeer

...mini giving biggie a shoulder to lean on

Tequatl, wurm, and marrionette has been a sharp "survival of the fittest". Only makes it clear which servers will get bombarded with guests and transfers.

Off-topic insert: wvw has been affecting our population too.
>-Match ups lead to Ehmry bay to get stomped.
>-WvW guilds decide enough is enough and 3 of 4 of our wvw guilds are moving out. (Over 400 active players are currently leaving Ehmry bay now)
>-All i can do is 1)leave too 2)hope new players choose my server 3)watch more players bandwagon leave to fort aspenwood, tarnished coast, sea of sorrows, or jade quarry.

VOLKON.1290:

I wonder if the OP is the one that was in JQ Lion’s Arch and asked where the Norn dispenser is?

We had fun with that. A machine that dispenses Norn…

Lolol id love to have a norn dispenser XD. On cold days for a norn on tap to cuddles with

@VincentDW hah i guess its gottabe the stranger danger that leads to loose tongues. That is legit i didnt think about.

Now if only i can fit into my non overflow for friendly people

Whenever "Kasmeer" is in a post title it blows up in views...

What are people thinking they would find here lolol

Gonna make a post " Kasmeer dredgeplznerf photos" or "Kasmeer shamanbosstoostronk noods" i jk but serious.

Rule 1 for this event – Dont be a kitten.

What does this mean? I keep seeing ‘kitten’ used in a wide variety of contexts across these forums and it seems so odd.

Someone explained already.

That reminds me i should just put back on the language filter in game. Then im not affected by what i see. Ya most of us are adults but keeping a map chat clean is apporopriate.

Side note kitten is a cute way to filter XD. Imagine the amount of kittens that would be in the chat of a hard dungeon run lol. “Mother kitten i got one shot. Aint that some kittens. Kitten rez me!” (Worded on purpose no vad words used)

ViralVarda.2739:

It’s been out for nearly a week, if you have yet to figure out how to do it, don’t do it. What OP was saying how it’s demoralizing to belittle people who don’t understand the event was a legit complaint during the first couple days.

Pretty much. I get what to do and try to help others get it.

Some dont think about people who work and/or families that cant start the living story on release day. They start later when theres either 1)people done it and moved on or 2)no one wants to explain anymore.

Some think all the players are available 8-10 hours daily with no kids/school/job/life.

Players gotta remain calm and contructively speak on how the event is too difficult for what isnt a world boss.

Wurm boss is in the boss panel of achievements so we are ok to understand its magnitude of coordination like a tequatl advanced event.

Squee Squashington.5189:

Regardless if you like fluff, high challenge content, or somewhere in between, there’s no doubt that LS, GW2’s “endgame,” is becoming a very negative play experience.

This is part of the creation process.

Id like to say that we are still in beta, testing to see what works or not XD.

It can be positive but we need to stay focused on constructive feedback on what works and what doesnt. Therefore nudging them towards things the majority enjoy.

To bad with all this constructive nudges we cant shove for an expansion lols

Gambit.8425:

Rule 1 for this event – Do your part . . . don’t get offended when frustrated spew insults around that aren’t directed at someone specific, other than "bads".

>-Understood but chicken or egg came first?
>-Is the event that hard? Or is 90% playerbase bad?
>-Good perspectives provided in this post in reasons how players are frustrated: multiple failed attempts.
>-I assumed "living story" was an open content for any and all players. Tequatl doesnt phase me aby more because its now deemed an advanced boss and everyone knows it.
>- Marrionette is not classified as an Advanced Boss but lets off the record deem it so.
>-No matter if it requires reading a Prima Guide book; everyone is under the assumption that living story is manageable content to A)minimum completed easily by working or busy casuals B)challenging extra achievements for completionists
>-Maybe i got a bad overflow but the game is suppose to be thrilling, challenging and fun. This clash of an Advanced Boss with casuals is raising peoples blood pressure for no reason.

Yea we all agree to read wiki and dulfy, ive read them all. Im thinking this is 50% design flaw and 50% player clash in result.

In my experiences i now prefer soloable living story so we clash less and do it at our own paces.

Lets review for a sec in my opinion
>-clearing baloon towers for a baloon reward i liked
>-mini events around the toxic tower was manageable
>-scarlet invasion was fun map wide loots even if failed
>-Thing under divinity reach was awesome
>-basically anything that didnt need 120+ Coordinated players per 2 hour was interrsting and minimal stress.

By the way....
>-Rewards like tonics, kites, and baloons did more bonding and friends making than the content itself.
Just saying :P

Scumbag Mawile.6384:

except the wiki and dulfy are the fastest and most accurate sources of information you’ll find

always nice to be treated like an kitten for pointing people to the clearest answer for their questions

They are, I read them.

Lack of players communicating to other players. "GO read Dulfy or GTFO" isn’t nice compared to "Marrionette Mechanics on Dulfy.net. check it out for success"

Donari.5237:

. . . It’s too massive, you need to prevent large groups from congregating because man, people get nasty to each other when they get crowded." The cure lies in players doing social engineering, not ANet reducing event size.

Well Im all for these large scale events. When it gets too technical; we don’t have a technical playerbase to begin with. Not all are capable of using teamspeak and I am used to just running up to an event and adapting to what its asking for.

>-Its an interesting design but beyond what PUG’s can handle.
>-When PUG cant handle it they are stirred up.
>-Possible solution is to make them a tad less needing of in depth guides just to understand how to step foot in a platform or the “randoms” that do provide your manpower are no longer interested.
>-Not quite sure why we went from power or rally I.E. Other world bosses that just need people to show up; into server bragging rights and left for the coordinated. It’s a new tier of bosses but not labeled so.

(In now way do I say PUG as a bad thing, just us randoms that wander around looking for stuff to do, and playing impromptu. Yea I read the guide by now)

Maybe I should be provided with an email address to privately report to ANet how these large scale events affect players.

>-Bitter and irritable.
>-Told to wiki or Dulfy it.
>-Blame is given to each other when its joint coordination.
>-Foul language into map chats that can affect morale

Do I just report the language or just avoid the events?

Its an interesting challenge but we have lots of players clashing unhealthily over it. Perhaps a scale down or alterations is needed?

Thats like saying people who work 2 minimum wage jobs for 80 hours a week deserves a BMW vs someone who works hard for it in the right job with income to support it.

Life isnt about materials unless you believe in materialism. A friend that cares about you in the community is worth more than any precursors.

A legendary is not meant to be easy nor be in everyones hands. Neither is a BMW in every driveway.

Guild Wars 2 isnt based on legendary weapons. If so your doing it wrong. Have fun in the community or you will regret chasing an item not many are impressed by anymore.

Dredge map is only doable with 1-2 guardians. If not then you have to result to gimmicks. There has to be a hard map that dictates the rest as easy lols.

This happened to me every other day sometimes. It on occasion crashes my comp. Its a new comp and id like to make a theory to say that when i went into Win 8.1: my grapics driver reset into something different.

I tried to update my driver but the source cannot provide me with needed version

Heh, you got further than I did.

On my first run, my computer blue-screened in the middle and then spent 20 minutes rebuilding the game. So we won’t count that.

And earlier this evening, I spent 50% of my time either dead or downed, after suffering massive damage from out of nowhere. 8k followed immediately by 7k at one point. All of us just running along and then I’m dead for no apparent reason.

I had no idea what to do, why I was dying, who to attack or generally wtf was going on. And being in melee range, I couldn’t see the actions of the mobs because of sparks flying everywhere, so I had no idea when to dodge.

I died almost immediately trying to destroy a couple of ballistas, only to watch someone else destroy them while I lay on the floor. And then they respawed about 3 seconds later. So that seemed rather pointless.

I quite clearly mentioned that I was new to this, but no-one seemed to care. Eventually I just quit the group and turned the game off.

Possibly for good.

Theres many variables at play here.

>Are you at minimum Exotic geared?
>Did your team have a competent guardian? Wall of reflect, shield of the avenger is golden.
>Are you dodging properly? As everything hits for massive damage in fractals compared to dungeons. In levels 30+ most foes can one shot you if you let them.
>Sounds like you were in the ascalon map. Ballistas hit for minimum 1/4 HP and the casting foes do massive AoE damage compared to the warrior and rangers.

Dont get discouraged as fractals i would consider the best challenge in the game. With practice it will become a friendly managable challenge instead of a dead end.

Exotic gear? No, I am level 38 and using Masterwork weapons with blue crafted armor.

I was the guardian... :/

Sure I know how to dodge. The problem however, is being hit from offscreen by random attacks that take 1/2 my health in one shot. Or being in melee range, and not being able to actually see the enemies due to all the fireworks and lighting fx that are right on top of some veteran mob that hits for ludicrous damage, and who apparently takes none in return.

"Don’t get discouraged" is something of a platitude really. I really just wish the game could make up it’s mind whether it was a tab-target or action MMO, because quite honestly, the combat is just a mess of both concepts.

On the one hand you have to "target" mobs, yet on the other you can leap and dodge and do all these other things. You have to hold the right-mouse down to look around, but you can’t properly attack the thing standing directly in front of you. None of the stats or skills seem to make any noticeable difference. A sword with +power doesn’t do appreciably more damage than a sword +40 healing. And similarly, I don’t notice a huge boost to my healing abilities either.

The skills just seem completely underwhelming, and in the clusterf--k of combat, it’s hard to tell whether they’re even working.

meh. I’ve given this game it’s fair shake of chances, but I really don’t think it’s for me.

>Fractals is end game content NOT a dungeon
>Unspoken rule is that its for geared up 80`s. The game is by exotic standard. Below it you take highe damage and produce less output. Masterwork doesnt always cut it.
>Char Level 38 you dont have maxed possible traits and boosts needed to make you skills more effective.
>Let the skills "autoattack" enemies, dont click them unless ranged (for combat swiftness, check your settings)
>You dont have to see the foes from far IE stacks, just mash the skills and spam damage.
>I recommend leveling and 200 hour roaming before engaging in demanding content. GW isnt necessarily designed to be "plug and play". Even upscaled WvW combat will feel the same.
>Go to Guardian sub-forum, search guardoan builds and consult to other guardians on how they play plus what to try.
>Double tap to evade. Comstant movement also evades. Kiting from far is also the likes. Never stand and spam: keep it moving in some form unless directed to stack.

If you fall down 7 times, get up 8. If you are willing to learn and practice: you will beable to do any content in the game. Like i said its the best team challenge therefore dont expect to walk into it like a stroll in the park.

Ah i see. Had to watch a couple times to see it. Not sure what to make of it. Never did like the bounce.

Welp, The fractal map we dont speak of... XD

Timer is less and its unfortunate that we cant yolo sit on the buttons.

>Need a mesmer, thief, and guardian (fracs trinity)

>Its part of the challenge. Go through or go home

P.S. (we all hate Dredge map and the ones who designed it are oblivious to that fact).

Beldin.5498:

Don’t forget MMS (Marionet Murdering Squad) as long as that event is there.

I second that. We get how the event works now, we had 40 people divided with 5 commanders. Tried to do it but 40 not enough…

I cannot beg for 100 to show up

Teq Terror Squad [TTS], I have your latest franchise idea:

Wurm Wacking Squad [WWS]

hahah because our server will never be able to do it; and there needs to be a voice lead guild with a waiting list to monopolize the achievement/success abilities for it.

RIP home server boss events…

Everyone scared on my LFG Tool post so i ask here:

~Looking for Fractal Veterans or Enthusiasts
~Willing to use teamspeak
~That also want the Endless Fractal Tonic

Been running level 49 daily and zero tonic drops. A)probably doesnt exist anymore
B)OR it yields from harder ones like 41-48.

I talk to 2 players that have it and they say 41 and 48 is where they got it but first week of fractured.

Post character name and what times you want to run if interested.

(Sarah if you see this i havent forgot about you, just forget to contact)

Is that where I think it is?

… really? this was the biggest glaring issue that had to be resolved in all of dungeondom?

And stealth patched no less, where is he? Where is the guy that’s doing stuff like this? What’s the point? How about you actually fix something that’s broken like when Bjarl stands in the middle of his room twirling his sword like moron? Because when you PUG it he always targets the player that doesn’t want to get anywhere near him.

Anyone else have some bugs/problems that actually need attention?

How about the WP in Arah P2 or is that working as intended? We’ll never know because we didn’t get patch notes on that either….

That’s the thing. I can’t understand why, of all things, that needed to be patched. Like, why?

Either they have a crack dungeon team that’s determined to make dungeons more annoying and less fun, or someone has loosed a bag of cats upon Anet HQ and keyboards were sat upon. That’s all I got….

ALL IS VAIN

yup
ALL IS VAIN

1)Wisps arent hard to run
2)Players are already lazy to always want swamp anyways
3)Though as much as its an interesting idea it will ruin all my PUG runs for amateur orb runners.

Ill be watching for it.

Pondering witty constructive posts for it now >:P

LittleLepton.8915:

Mmmm…. Ascended foods drools

I’m imagining ascended omnoms… And …. Knock down food…. And life steals…. drools a river

I dont know…

Dragonite and dark matter looks hard to consume if blending that in for an ascended omnom cakes XD

Its reasonable TO SCALE to 10 people and all i have to do is ask in guild chat for back up. Back in the day, 2 of us completed Golem because of good scaling and no gimmick methods to take it down.

Lets review: Tequatl is a dragon lieutenant that requires an entire zone of coordinated playersto beat...

Elder dragon Zhaitan was taken down with 5 cannons of canthan grade fireworks by 5 players if he is not flying around. Yea yea random lasers hit it too.

I try to ignore the fact that i never get to try tequatl since its patch.

Used to be a 4min fight. Im a soloist and dont want to rally a server to fight something that used to be easy. Im not influential and my server races to camp in other servers. What am i to do if bosses may continue that design platform.

Somehow the teq guilds and anet are ok with this outcome. Rest of us in the dark.

RIP home server bosses PUG

I agree but Honey badger dont care.

Anet gave us something atm when it used to be nothing. Remember how there was never a daily reward and some runs could easily end up 70s in 1 hour. Therefore dont expect anything more than what they just did. Tis a blessing they did anything to it. Im grateful.

Do all your chars have 20 slot fractal boxes? Do all of them have fractal capacitor`s? Buy skill points and forge expensive weapons to sell. Buy obsidian shards and make gift of mastery just because.

Fractals to me is fun because each run makes me think and dive deep. While other dungeons are easy and cookie cutter spammed. One cannot spam fractals.

Has it been discussed and requested to do more with relics? You bet, lots of posts. Not many still realize about double clicking them for 15 regular relics.

I could think of plenty of things to add into the relic vendor...

Will it happen? Nope

A reminder fractals of the mist is officially NOT recognized as a dungeon therefore cannot be compared nor contrasted in the similar platforms or benefits/rewards.

Just a tactical, gear gated activity. Nothing more to see, move along.

Ive heard about this but cant pin whats different. Can you explain or have video link by chance?

Syprus Soulslayer.1640:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Fractals-50-no-Daily-Chest/first#post3427150

There’s so many with issues with Fractal’s it’s not even funny, why anyone even bothers with 50 is beyond me.. It’s obviously bugged / broken like most of fractals after the update. Maybe if we cause enough ruckus they’ll actually do something about it instead of archiving the issues.

There was plenty ruckus about the personal reward level reset but they did it anyway. Seems like we just have to get what they give us while its telling us tough kittens.

Its depressing.

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

That was really tl;dr. I should stop typing out posts when I’m bored. Just read the last bit, the rest is kinda just me ranting at silly things.

EDIT: I made it less kitten lol

I find nothing funny about people like you that deslike popular methods to get nerfed. Har har har your so silly to be against a method that works and doesnt waste time.

Now if it gets damage reduction, investments went to waste, frustrated players, increased wasted time in dungeon and fractals.

I quit doing world bosses because the “ideal design is to spam attacks on a foe you cant crit for 10 minutes”. Not to mention what it takes to do tequatl now is depressing my server never does it vs before only 10 people in 4 minutes.

Also If I may, there is a list of players who are willing to help teach you the basics of dungeons. All you need to do is either contact them or post on the thread that you want help

The thread ia called “teachers”

Best of luck!!

Sarah

Greetings Sarah, id like to join in on any of your runs so i can learn to instruct fractals. I can do all levels. Will contact you via your linked posted in game to arrange these possibilities.

I may have conquered fracs but one only masters it by teaching, id like to reach that level

Well I’m still not the best teacher but this would be great for everyone, we all get to practice fractals! (you and me teaching it, while the others learning how to do it)
^^

Ok sounds like a plan. Im sure you are an excellent teacher. Tandum teaching in the future sounds cool too. Looking forward to meeting up.

Well...then why make large areas of the world that looks like it may exist.

The catch: it has to still remain soloable content. I dont want to revist how i dread walking around southsun alone getting ganked by karka XD.

Its just what GW 1 did. It had giant regions. Atm world bosses and soo many other facts steers where players will be and thetefore rendering some maps no longer interesting.

You have to experience "vanquishing" to understand why maps hold or lose value over time.

jessiejay.3625:

Welcome to dungeons Marc.

If you soo choose to become an enthusiast or common runner, here are some basics id say. Conditions to be met, results may vary, no refunds on soulbound, must be level 80 to apply.

Shopping list:
-Exotic armor, weapons, and trinkets. GW dungeons are by exotic standard no matter if Anet says Masterwork is ok. (Stats i never made a guardian. Ask others who have been) post crafting patch total set of gear is around maybe 10-15g

-6 superior runes of ____________. Many new players dont understand the added effects of a proper rune set. All 6 pieces need matching rune of superior designation. Again, talk to other guardians. Some popular runes are not cheap. Use other armor upgrades like orbs or emblems i think its called.

-Superior Sigil of ______ onto your weapons can be overlooked. This means the damage difference of 5-15% potential output depending on what your doing.

-A guild that is willing to take you on runs is better than LFG pickup groups. On that note you can also post: “P1 im new, need help” in the LFG tool. Ive done it before and it works in 5-10 mins wait. Listing tool is not only for exp or speed runs.

-2 hour windows. Ya A new team can make a 30 min run easily become 90 lol. Be open minded and listen to whos guiding the run. Always speak up if you dont know what to do. Undetstand what stacks are if needed. Always carry a range weapon in case of certain dungs.

-Dodge…nuff said

-YouTube has walkthrough of the dungeons most times. Watch them in free time.

If you did all/some of the above i can personally take you into some easy runs to get your feet wet. Char name in signature. Mail me if you play nights.

We’ve been at it since a week before Fractured release. Absolutely nothing has been done. They simply moved on assuring themselves that people will forget…

I’ll never forget that thread. My guildies won’t let me forget it either. Lol

Haha. Same here. I went from doing fractals every day to doing low levels 1-2 times a week to help out guildies level up.

I only do fractals for daily now. So, swamp, level 1, done. Hehe. Sometimes I do harpy, for the champions.

Just roll for ascalon. Its bugged and will give you the daily achieve as soon as you go from lobby to ascalon fractal. No need to complete any.

Shhhhh dont let anet know of this bug….o wait were good they dont read the dungeon forum anyhow XD

Forgot to add, it will never be late to start fractals. No extravagant rewards are present and it wont be any time soon they will correct said rewards that they promised.

Be aware drop rates of ascended boxes and fractal skins are less. Still waiting for the fractal weapon skin box that lets us choose. Ill give them credit for atleast making it not require a transmutation

Pro-tip, gear up you char, gain necessary Agony Resist and piggyback off people who do the daily lower tiers.

I.E. 5-10AR, run level 10’s till your Personal Reward is 10. (Some say they manage with no AR by dodging)

Gain more Ascended pieces and buy more +5AR from fractals golem NPC for 75 relics.

Once i think 20AR (dont quote me on that i cant verify on phone), piggyback of people doing level 20 until personal reward 21.

You get the point. People more often run the 10, 20, 30, 40, 49 on a daily basis. If you understand the tactics, are a team player, know fractals well, you can follow the method above and max level in maybe 2 months if doing a couple runs a day.

Catch is how you obtain ascended pieces will gate your progress. Teams might boot you if you degen from agony too fast.

Some of the effects are overkill on top of increased foe HP, #`s, dmg, AI. I like the gradual increases of those listed items. To me some things like overextended kills off a build im too lazy to swap from.

Just as much there is no way to track which dungeon paths you ran before for completion. Walk to the door. That is the least of fractal issues.

Yup still waiting. Tis a good thing there is no subscription fee. I feel a break coming soon.

Want to add that people dont understand the different run types. Sometimes they dont care to read them.

-“P1 Speed 80`s” = level 80 TRAITS, geared, know path, know what to do (We ran this many times and dont have IRL time to waste nor teach. Not willing to be calm running past an average time we run it).

“P1” [no other description]= ya we may know the run or highly exp and dont feel like rushing. Dont care who joins we just want to get it done. Common sense a must at minimum.

“P1 anyone” = anyone, anything, lets go, (someone bound to guide or teach. They will carry the party through)

Those 3 types i would interpret so. Each is its own class and either join if you match or stay out. Stay in your dungeon running type lane. Dont join one your not and complain they are forcing you to do something.

Dont suppose you can play in the NBA if you only shoot hoops at the park now can you?

I was once new. I started my own run listing and told the party i was new. I was willing to learn and listen.

Newbies these days DONT say they are new and DONT listen. They wonder why exp folks get tired of teaching.

Below 80 is possible yes but its a waste of time to struggle sub-par for no reason.
