Cleric appreciation

It is never a good point to drink and play games at the same time this possibly why squads fail think of it this way what if you were driving a car drinking.What would happen to you if you got pulled over or even if you didn't?

Did you seriously just compare driving under the influence with playing a game while drunk? b:sweat

To answer your question, nothing would happen if happened to be drinking and driving because I have never and will never do so. Ignoring the huge opening for a joke about not wanting to spill my beer, I'm well aware that my coordination and reaction time get shot to hell when I'm drunk (the dozens of videos of me doing stupid **** being evidence of this) and I'm smart enough to know, even when drunk, that I shouldn't be driving like that.

OK, so here's a question of my own: If I were the type of person to drink and drive, would you rather have me sitting in front of a computer or out mowing people down in a car?

???? where did that date come from...

If we non-clerics refuse to recognize this holiday, is there going to be another cleric-protest?b:shocked

I already charge for res/buff.

5k for res, 1k for buff, for randoms anyways. Friends/Guildies get it free. ^_^

Ashivas - Dreamweaver wrote: »

You should charge too, every cleric should. We're not a charity organization.

LOL?

Please tell me you are joking -.-

Are you serious?

I recommend you stop spamming, I think it's making you dumber. Read the original post and you might have some idea what's going on...

Double post ftw btw.

I did read the original post and it tell nothing of the alt unless it is what the avatar is.I didn't douple post.

To VerenKaunis and yes I comparing using computer at home or work while under the influence of alcohol as you can make mistakes.When you are at work it could mean your jop if you can't drink at work using computer then why do it playing games.

if there is actually that day, i'll reinstall my pwi, log on my ep and kill all the eps i see outside sz just for the lols.

No thanks, unless there's a DD appreciation day where all DDs go on strike and clerics can form 6-man parties of all clerics and see how fast they can complete instances.

Or maybe a tank appreciation day. Then DDs will tank, and the clerics can have fun with ping pong aggro. Oh yea, and woe be you if you dont' have level 11 res yet.


Anyways my point is clerics are a part of the party like everyone else, and everyone should receive the same 'appreciation.'

^ this. +1 :O

yea why is there only a cleric appreciation day? why isnt there a DD appreciation day or a tank appreciation day? b:surrender

I'm totally for being paid, just for existing...since I'm like, one out of a dozen high level barbs left on the planet. b:surrender

Legally drunk?
An extremely redundant term.
If it is legal, what is the problem?
"Leave my friend alone, police officer, he's legally drunk!"

Leaving Carlin quotes aside, that fact destroys your stance, so it is indeed a flaw in your argument.
That is the definition of the phrase in question, after all.
It is her own time, so she is free to engage in whatever activity she wants to.


Frankly, I am astounded that you even connected drunk driving to drunk playing.
It is just a game, after all, so it matters little if there are casualties.

Also, Ashivas was talking about himself; learn to be more aware of your surroundings.
It is doubtful that you are a functional cleric in instances, given that you do not pay attention.




I beg to differ. The lag is consistent, but the effect of alcohol on your reaction time will vary greatly, obviously depending on the dosage. And lag does not make you unable to pay attention or suffer from beer goggles.

It doesn't matter if their reaction time to helping you out from dieing and going back to town.Then they can sit there well I go for a coffee and see how they like that after all it is my time.it is connected it because of where I work as we deal with addicts and I know what even 1 beer can do to a person.I would like to see this person play need for speed and see if they could win sprint or not get busted

I am very functional cleric as I play another healing class in another game much harder than this one which is always getting skill balances.That game has others who can do the ressing so if I go down they can res me.

lets have a day where we can all be happy and appreciative of all the classes, oh wait thats a normal day b:avoidb:surrender

It is not a flaw it is a fact and yes you can do what ever you want in your time as long as it doesn't cause others to make up for you lack of judgment.

Lack of judgment? Yes, because playing a cleric is incredibly difficult. Hm, should I heal everyone or just let them die? So hard to choose.

Oh, and I play my other classes just fine while drunk. Made a few goofs the first couple times but after that I play them relatively well (again, not as well as I could when sober but still good enough to not hold back my squad).

When you have 1 beer means you legally drunk

Having 1 beer means someone is drunk? Last time I checked legally drunk was having a BAC of 0.08 or higher. I doubt even a 10 year old would have a BAC anywhere close to 0.08 after 1 beer.

MystiMonk - Sanctuary wrote: »

this has nothing to do with lagg more to do with judgment.

Use a 10 year old computer you dug out of your closet and play with every action delayed by 2-4 seconds and then say lag has nothing to do with it. My judgment is fine but it doesn't mean **** if the wellspring/SoR/purify doesn't get to the person before he/she dies. b:bye

This happens in another game I play where groups fail mostly due to intoxication.

Good thing this isn't some other game then. I freely admit that I suck at Modern Warfare 2 when I'm drunk so I'm glad that PW is such a simple game.

MystiMonk - Sanctuary wrote: »

alcohol is known to slow down your reaction time.

Thank you for stating a well-known fact which is taught to children in elementary school.

Luckily, PW doesn't require an extremely fast reaction time. Unless your squad bum rushes a group of mobs and causes a huge cluster**** then you only need to worry about healing the tank and the occasional DD.

Edit:

An argument which doesn't contain made up facts and a holier-than-thou attitude.

To address your points; for the most part the lag is pretty reliable at a 3 second delay but usually when I log on after drinking it's when I've come down a bit so generally I'm not completely ****faced. It's not as consistent as the lag so it's harder to compensate while playing but a half hour generally gives me a good feel for how I should play.

Also, I find focusing easier when I'm drunk. b:surrender

My peripheral vision is nonexistent but despite that (or maybe because of it) whatever I'm looking at has my full attention. Not saying I play as well as I do when sober but I don't completely fail either (except the first couple times <_<).

I've prevented squad wipes several times while drunk and I've failed to do the same while sober.

MystiMonk - Sanctuary wrote: »

Then I'd do the same thing I do for anyone who goes afk or d/cs for long periods of time; leave you behind and continue on without you.

Any competent squad leader would boot someone who completely fails at his/her class regardless of whether or not that class is needed.

MystiMonk - Sanctuary wrote: »

I fail to see how any of your points are connected at all. So the fact that I go and have a few drinks some friends once or twice a week means I'm an addict? Riiiiiiiiight.

MystiMonk - Sanctuary wrote: »

Sober? Yeah.
Drunk? Nope, but I'll have fun trying.

Oh, and what does Need for Speed have to do with PW?

Good for you. As I've said already in this post, it's a good thing PW is so easy.

By the way, in case you haven't noticed, PW isn't this other game you keep bringing up to support every single argument you make in whatever thread you decide to post in.

Again, what does this have to do with any of your other points?
