    yxh%20(46).gif how are these things that make you go hmmm? yxh%20(45).gif Hmmm is a word that says something fishy is going on or your thinking.

    Pop culture reference to the song 'Things that make you go hmmmmm' by C&C music factory. The song has a number of verses, each an anecdote about someone in an unfortunate situation. The chorus describes each as a thing may want you to go 'hmmmmmm'.

    Oh wow that just took me down memory lane. Been forever since I heard that song. You got to be about as old as me I'm guessing. I doubt any kiddo would even know about that C&C Music Factory, let alone the song.

    My wife and I are in bh 69 and I go out to lure Pole.

    I am typing challenged so I ask her to type 'Incoming' for me as I grabbed boss.

    she types fast,but often has mistypes...

    she typed INCOMING!!! but with M instead of N

    we almost failed at the boss because everyone was laughing so hard.

    Needless to say,this defines her whenever we grp with the same ppl :P

    I was advertising for a TT, and invited a BM among all the others. This BM was level 31, and I actually thought it said 61 for some reason upon a glance. Then one of the venos sent me a PM asking, "why is there a 31 here?" Double take, and sure enough, the BM was barely into his gaming prime. And so began about fifteen minutes of trying to convince him to leave (we needed to boot someone for the cleric anyway). I told him he'd be massacred in a second by those high level bosses. He said he'd be ok. Veno tells him he needs to level more. The barb tells him it might be fine (oy) if he stayed back. Veno pointed out that she's never seen a BM stay back. The BM (after saying he WOULD stay back) wouldn't tell us why he needed the TT, but I'm guessing he'd heard about the awesomely priced drops and was in it for the $$$. I didn't mention that, but he was still begging to come. Since all of us were 60-70 and I had an 80+ cleric waiting, I wasn't about to keep him in where he'd just die every five seconds.

    After some more begging, I had to politely kick him. Honestly, I hate kicking people, and I try to be nice and fair about it, but it seems rude. We just couldn't have him getting us all killed though. I ignored all of his PMs trying to get me to invite him back.

    Let that be a lesson to all of you doing TT for the first time - always say "60+, please!" in your ads.

    You don't need to be 60+ to go on TT, I'd say 50+ for HA, 55+ for LA and 60+ for Arcane is best.


    On my fb59 for some reason my token quest was nowhere to be found, I checked everywhere and it wasn't available to me yet.

    Now 6 lvls after my fb59, after careful planning, I prepared myself to go in and get them alone. Stealth Mode worked great. Killing the 1st Gatekeeper with a bow at max distance was a great strategy he didn't eve fight back(good cuz he would've pushed me aside like I was nothing). I would've just Shadow Jumped through the gate but I wasn't entirely sure if that's bannable or not(most likely is) I stealthed to the first token and realized the things that look like robot jaguars are too close -_-"' So I killed them, eating up my limited HP pots(shoulda bought some b4 I went in) and I still had to make him sleep > bleed many times so I could recover a bit. Finally killed, I grab the token and head back to the platform... no gatekeepers. Planning wins battles before they are fought, I should've known the rest of the gates can only be opened by killing a boss. No amount of planning could allow me to solo the bosses, so I had to reset the cave. I reset the cave 2 times.

    The next day I went to continue my run to get the tokens. I went in alone once again and got the 4th token. Then on the 5th, no matter what I did the ****** cave wouldn't reset!b:infuriated

    okay two things one very short.

    Barb lvl 40-49 in pk running out asking my fact mate lvl40-49 to pk and then asks "can i kill u?" and get "u can try" he starts hitting fact mate hit back lol "no stop killing me" and he runs in safe. later some sin and nother barb show up plus a clerig hidding in safe zone alle near 40 or somethign. now new barb and my fact mate start fighting 1vs1 pk now sin and other cry barb join in on gank on my fact mate xD. Still he almost beat em while cleric was healing one of the other barbs. that made me think hmm lol fail pking. 2nd barb and our barb got their fair 1vs1 after our barb got 1st barb killed cler assassinated from behind. and sin put up shop in safe zone xD.

    Okay my hmm moment td. Squad for TT1-3 lookign good, 86 barb, 2 BMs in the 8x one cler 79 and wiz 78 and me looks nice. Lol wasn't nice. barb more than once got us killed. on the way to 2nd boss he tried to take my job (found my rezing pet being slow lol) agro one mob and then 4 more ranged run in and gank him xD. Cler need to heal and i need to go crazy sending pet and tryign to outdmg so i take agro (yes i died cler was left with 50hp or so lol) Drummer Barb die, and yell for a rez while cler tries to get away from certian death. and snake (we were in hard mode) barb lets me lure lol. I can accept me gettign hit once when luring happens alot, xD but no i get hit 3 times (yes for fast cler and heal genie) one of the BMs save me from 4th hit lolb:surrender.

    At some point barb want to rush (yay shoudl i tell we had to get quests inned afterwards oh well) but he runs so fast that the slower classes clerly can't keep up -.- so fail rushing.

    also the usual "are everyone ready" worked like this "ready? GO" and he acctually went GO each time xD. He first listened to me when i refused to add pet dmg to DD team on snake. (all i asked for was for him to say my name and not veno or bm or cler lol) in the end he managed to spell it out ^^;

    Over my long experience I have discovered that the number of clerics in squad positively correlates with higher death toll of squad members ._.
    Each exepects the other to heal, so none does.

    Extremely true.

    ^^ hehe...nice.

    So the other day i was in another random bh run. They were asking for a cleric for one i had leftover from a previous day. (It was Ofotis btw).

    So the squad is something like 2 archers, a psy, a sin, a lvl 80 wiz (guess it was his last bh59), and me.

    So we're rollin thru, i'm keepin everyone healed and throwin in attacks when i can since i do nice damage on the wood mobs in there. Then at one point, the wiz decides to set up DB for a couple of the scorps in there (which are melee b:shocked). I wasn't expecting it, but started healing him as soon as i saw him channelling DB. I had enough time to get one IH on him before he's dead. Naturally, both scorps are coming after me at this point. Fortunately, i'm used to grabbing aggro occasionally, and start doing laps around the rest of the squad till they can grab them.

    The archers finally get the mobs off me, and with a couple IH's on each of them, i rez the wiz. At which point one of the archers starts whining that i'm a fail cleric for dding while i should be healing etc etc, and if he sees me dd on the boss he's gonna kick me from squad. Nevermind the dumbass arcane wizzy trying to aoe melee mobs that can kill him before Dragon's Breath is even finished channelling...or the fact that i do nice damage to everything in that hall....or that i wasn't even attacking when the wiz died.

    I was tempted to bail and tell them to have fun without a cleric, but we were almost at the boss anyway, and i really didn't wanna go all the way back to archo and try to find another squad.

    One thing was made abundantly clear to me when i first started playing this game (before i started a cleric myself), and has apparently never been taught to all these idiot noobs these days: NEVER **** OFF A CLERIC. It can be hazardous to your health. b:chuckle

    Seriously tho, if u do something stupid and get urself and/or the rest of the party killed, man up and admit it. And of all things, don't blame the guy trying to keep u alive. We all make mistakes, it's just a game after all. Prolly too much to ask for, huh?

    Cynnair Spectres don't remain aggroed for that long. They generally leave me alone long before I even hit Foreigner over by Sanctuary. My guess is that someone lured a WB.

    Ive been followed and killed in all sorts of spots by specters. Arch, Hidden Orchid, even Swiftwind b:shocked

    But judging by the scenario it sounds like someone pulled either Chin or Yansheng.

    ^correct
    unless u have a high flight speed, the specters can follow u all the way to 1k, this was proven by my barb friend who went afk when he got book 30, and came back at 1k and was being atked by a specter.

    My assassin was on a mess of a BH51 the other day. The squad consisted 3 assassins, 1 archer, 1 barb with squad lead and 1 cleric (married to barb.) The tank is average, the cleric isn't bad as long as she isn't afk, which happened quite a bit later on. The other two assassins were very impatient for whatever reason and they like going into stealth mode and dance amongst the mobs in front of the squad instead of actually DDing. The pace was a little slow with just the archer and I helping the barb & cleric team. Several times, the barb asked for the squad to stay together, several times he was told that they are scouting ahead or killing the door guardian. Then one of the assassin's stealth wore off due to low mp in the middle of his mob dance. He does the face plant and immediately spams the squad chat with "REZ," "I need a rez," "rez me." Too bad I wasn't the squad lead or I would have kicked them right there. We get to the dead, wipe the mobs and revive the assassin. And off they go again, sprinting away... So now the tank is purposely slowing the pace to frustrate the other two assassins and the cleric is starting to have rl events causing her to go afk every so often. It took us about a hour to get to Rankar and the cleric had to go afk right as Rankar turns the corner. She put up a BB before leaving, but the barb made the mistake of pulling Rankar right next to her. Dead cleric. Barb actually managed to hold on to the boss and kept himself alive for quite a while. I was using a bow, the archer was on crossbow, and the other two assassins went up-close-and-personal with Rankar. AOE. Pots. Dead assassin. AOE. Charm tick. AOE. Dead assassin x2. "REZ" "Cleric's afk." "REZ" "..." Barb dies with Rankar down to maybe 20K HP. Both the archer and I were still alive, potting and firing. Barb is upset, drops squad right when Rankar was killed. Archer and I didn't get the kill. Now the dead assassins are still asking for rez, except the squad lead is now with the dead+afk cleric. After explaining that there's nothing more we can do for the dead, we dropped squad. I cubed back to Arch and saw the barb on the platform in common chat, "LFM BH51, no tideborns." hmmmm

    I was near Tusk Town with my wife killing mobs when this level 9 veno shows up and asks us if we can escort her to Raging Tides.
    I'm having a brainfart so I ask her "Where is that?" and she says, "Look at your map."

    It occurs to me a moment later that she's probably wanting to go get herself some tideborn pets. (And the bottom of my map is cut off so I can't actually see it on my map.)

    So two things made me go hmmm ... one, how did she get all the way to that location in the first place, and two, if you're asking for help, don't be snotty about it. (I'm not quite sure how she expected us to escort her across the water either - I was on my cleric at the time who is female so no one could have carried her either.)

    I ended up in tusk town by accident as a low (below 20) veno - it's pretty easy. You go south east from plume, accidentally walk into the way overlevel area and town-portal or get killed. It takes you to tusk, from which you probably can't even teleport back out. Not a great deal of fun, that.

    No excuse for being rude about getting to tideborn area though, the answer to it is, however, to point out that they get the town-portal activated at level 10.
