**Fyrce** · 01-27-2011, 07:50 AM

I just introduced a friend to this game....but... I had to teach him how to tap... and he had problems doing it... and... he's a tech geek... **stare**

**MoarPewPew** · 01-27-2011, 09:45 AM

It's not funny when I am the noob in all my stories. :P

OMG. A level 50 in CS is asking for money for a void blaster. Um, at current prices...!!! When I say go pop it, he says "how? where? it's not dropped like that." When I tell him where to go, he responds w the classic "go cut urself"

Um, if I put all beggars on my ignore list, how long will my ignore list be? Cause I'm pondering that... Maybe I'll limit it to level 50 beggars...

Was this yesterday? Folks did "beggar day" in forest heaven for a laugh...

**Fyrce** · 01-27-2011, 12:38 PM

Nope, right when I posted.

Yesterday, there were lots of beggars in CS also. Didn't see that many in Forest Haven actually. Maybe I was in wrong Forest Haven :P Did see some nekkid beggars in CS yesterday. Was pretty funny.

This level 50 was NOT one of those. It was obvious from his EQ. Personally I think he was a failed level 50: Can't play in level 50 dungeons. I have no clue why someone would want to create a character like that, but there he was and I've seen others like him. What's the point of being powerleveled if the result is a weak character...? Seems like someone who is setting themselves up to not like the game.

In my view you have to do at least the first toon the "proper" way... Else you end up with an overly strong level 1. lol

**BeefyMeat** · 01-27-2011, 01:01 PM

I get a new story every time I go into Captive Audience...

**Fyrce** · 01-27-2011, 06:40 PM

I've told level 50s to go replay the game, starting in Forest Haven. I won't bore you with the responses. LOL.

A newbie once asked, how do you die?... I noticed he had a death/kill ratio of 0/4203, so I dragged a mob to him and left the server and came back quickly. He then died because he lagged out.

yesterday i helped all of my list to get the antennas...
i was actually in fathom town and invited a noob (dont remember name right now...) several times and pmed him: COME! DEV IS HERE!

Answer was this: SORRY, I DONT PLAY ANYMORE THOSE LOW LEVEL DUNGEON

:-S

**Estraz** · 01-29-2011, 05:06 PM

Newbies are so hilarious.

**Dizzy** · 02-01-2011, 04:18 AM

Being that I'm still a noob, this is noob-on-noob mocking.

Said right after yellow antennas were given out in Balefort:

1st Guy: You didn't get any?
2nd Guy: No.
1st Guy: Where were you?
2nd Guy: Waving at the dev
1st Guy: I didn't see you.
2nd Guy: I was standing right by the dev, waving
1st Guy: Are you sure?
2nd Guy: Yeah, I was waving at the guy with the red name. He completely ignored me!
1st Guy: You mean Kneil? That's not a dev, that's an NPC!

[paraphrased from memory... oh how I wish I could do screen shots with my EVO, hehehe)

**Riccits** · 02-01-2011, 04:24 AM

**powerandintent** · 02-01-2011, 04:29 AM

I wish I could have seen the guy waving at Kneill. XD

**Ricey** · 02-01-2011, 04:43 AM

I had a level 10 in a game I hosted in AO3 the other day, me and a friend were just discussing how we couldn't do the bosses as we were too low level when this 10 Bear appears and just heads, by himself for the boss.. seconds later he reappears behind us and goes for it again! This went on about 4 or 5 times before he got it and left.

So this is Animeva and I obviously haven't posted here a lot thus far but I just had to throw some of my stories into this!

First off I was with a group of 50's in Shadow Cave III (after caves were made more difficult) there was no host at the time and a level 12 came in and wouldn't leave. We started out asking nicely and explaining why this wasn't a place for him to level and that we needed all of the help we could get but still he wouldn't budge. So I messaged all of the other members that they should A. Not rev this guy and B. Start going in to the game but not to fight at all we did this for about 10 min and he died repeatedly but still wouldn't give up. So then we asked him if he would go in alone and show us his mad skills, which he did and again died before he could take two steps in. After 45 minutes and me vowing to outlast him he finally left ...only to be replaced by a level 19.

Another just happened the other day, I was selling a Hooch Hat in Balefort and someone PM'd me saying that they would give me 6k. I had sold one earlier in the day for 10K which was exactly what they were going for in CS so I told him that my asking price was 10K, he called me a Noob and walked away. I'm not quite sure what I did to deserve that but to me those are fighting words. I left Balefort and returned with my main bear and asked him if he remembered me, he said "no, who are you?" and I replied, the noob. He said a bunch of words I wont repeat here and told me he was going to report me...

Off topic -- When I'm trading with someone and I show them items that I'm selling (usually lower end items) and I've stated my asking price in my announcement (which is really cheap) do people feel the need to list all of their best pinks while I'm showing my wares? It's not a contest, this is what I'm selling... I never said you didn't have better items! I'll never understand that.

My current favorite is people who think it matters who opens a chest, so they run through the fight, all the way to the other side of the room, not firing a single shot, buff or debuff until they've opened all the chests. Unfortunately, they haven't implemented the �tae kwon leap� skill�

When I first started playing I told someone "leave some for the others. stop stealing all the chests!".
