QUOTE(Goblinsk8er @ Dec 3 2009, 10:53 PM) LOL, that happened a lot in my server. All you need is a decent tank and DPS who knows how to GTFO from cave/tail/breath. the players ruined it, not the systemI have seen geared groups doing stupid stuff like ZOMG WHELPSPAWNS LOLIHAVELEETGEARAOESPAMTOPDPSMETERS>OHSHITAGGRO>RUNNING AWAY FROM WHELPS AND OUTSIDE TANK RANGE and make whelp die slower, or even worse ignore adds and ZOMGHIGHDPS bring down Onyxia right when DBM warns whelp and elite spawning, then start blaming the tank for not picking whelps and elites when ony lands and fear everyone. Its really stupid how the GearScore and Achievement system is ruining the game. For example: You want to start gearing a newly lvl alt. Lets say you start off with HTOC/Naxx gear. You want to start raiding Trial of the Crusader asap, but people rejected you coz you don't have the "lolgearscore" for it. So you try to get some LOLduar gear for to get so call "entry lvl gear" for loltoc. When you want to join an Uld25, you will still get rejected coz most pugs expecting achievements from an old raid instance like lolduar. Well of course, i know some of you say this is QQing and argue that i can buy badge gear etc. But you get my point. |

QUOTE(kelvinftg @ Dec 4 2009, 02:31 PM) Having been away for more than 6 months... People generally take me for a noob, just cos I'm new to fights and have a 4.2k GS. I didn't even know WTF was gearscore, and they straight away called me Noob. like.... "LOL noob must be a noob, don't even know what's GS" id call you a noob too cuz theres so many sites available out there for boss strats. and lolwtf VOA.Then, I was in VoA. Never done the 2 new bosses. Died once to the 1st boss' Nova, I was already running out as I saw the cast, was just a tad bit in his range. Thing is, they ONLY told me about the enraged add and NOTHING about the nova, and I also almost got out of range. Instantly, everyone called me a noob and said if rogue loot drops they would DE it. Except for one shaman who told me about the boss in whisper. Next run, ended up I was no.2 on DPS with the lowest GS, the lock who talked the most cock died. I agree that how players use Gearscore is absolutely idiotic. It does NOT judge a person's ability. It literally judges a book by its cover. Sigh, my 1st week back into WoW and I am already seeing why I got so frustrated at it.... assumingly you're a rogue, running out of novas? i lol'ed. also, Emalon is the second boss, koralon is the first. with all that said against GS, it does have its point though. considering how easy it is to gear up in WOTLK, there is no reason to run around in greens or blues whether you're an alt #3893 or not. i only log in maybe 4-5 days or even ONLY on the weekends, each login can vary from either 5-10 minutes, 1-2 hours to 5-8 hours tops. And i only mainly pvp as you all already knew. yet i still get get pretty good gear score (lol ilevel 245 welfare) having 5-7k dps++ (lol 13-14k dps on ony whelps) during PVE encounters. i dont see why someone still need so much spoon feeding and carrying in a game thats already dumbed down and casualized to the bone. Again, that is not to take anything away from the hardcores as there are lolachievements, server first, heroic mode, hard mode, etc. Point being is that its really no excuse to get your damn gear on your damn alt, or spend 5 minutes to read up some lousy PUG standardized VOA strats. |

QUOTE(Instant_noodle @ Dec 4 2009, 04:18 PM) i'm still running around in greens or blues... no puggable dungeon runs due to roller coaster latency... even fel orcs from rampant can chop me down in 2 second lags... *sigh* get 80.TMNut just gotten worst these few weeks and i'm thinking of calling helpline, request tier 2 technician, yelling at them for 2 consecutive weeks, then screw those technicians by putting blame on using notebook to troubleshoot and 'corrupted' my already corrupted-and-unusable windoze... - back to the topic - i'd usually would ask those who are more experienced with dungeon runs on what they are looking for, who they are looking for in raids and sadly the answer is either 'tanks' or 'heal bots'... being in thau (Alliance side) i know that btw, i wonder who came up with such ideas on comparing GS inthe 1st place? and beats me on the gs shit, i never bothered. people know me enough on my server to not bother to ask. only those newbs would and i still have enough gs anyways lol |

QUOTE(kelvinftg @ Dec 4 2009, 07:02 PM) C'mon Quaza, who would have thought one has to read up on VoA strats. Its VoA ffs and I assumed it would be cake which it was, they only told me to attack enraged add when I see one and left out the rest of the details. If it was a raid like ToC I would read it up, which I have. I tried to run out of that nova because I used my CoS upon standing on that fire and taking some damage due to it being tanked on the yellowish shiny part of the ground. wait, enraged add, standing on fire, nova, did you just fought heroic VOA with emalon and koralon TENGEN TOPPA GATTAI'ED?Its not about getting spoon fed for my case. If I know the boss in the raid for VoA and someone asked, I would just politely type these words. "There'll be fire on ground, look out for nova, attack enraged add." There. Not difficult at all, its VoA. Instead, I get punks stroking their e-peens just because they've done this boss before and have higher GS. Pathetic. Alts should have no problem gearing up if they know who your main is. Unless your main is a noob, then its gonna be even harder than being an unknown alt. wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww seriously though: - taking 5 minutes of your time and read voa strats, free epics - or failing voa and being a noob, risking a raid kick not that hard of a choice right? |

QUOTE(KennethNYC @ Dec 31 2009, 10:26 AM) here is another thing why you cannot judge gear score gs has nothing to do with thislast night i join a PUG for VOA and yes again min GS needs to be 4.5k and above down the 1st boss easily so when the raid leader was sorting out the loot the rest resume clearing mobs till the next boss to the next boss then suddenly the raid leader become a NINJA giving the loot to this guild member ignore those who won the roll those who won the roll but didn't get the loot left the raid and go aggro boss boss raped the entire raid team.... again GS stinks |

QUOTE(evofantasy @ Dec 31 2009, 01:16 PM) but asking for GS is a sign of things to come aka. a weak RL... not reallytry asking any top guild's opinion about GS... or even try turning on GS when u are in such guilds (gkick incoming)... 1) since when GS holds such voodoo nonsense? 2) some top guilds does in fact use GS as a benchmark on recruitments raid invites. no one is asking you to be an idiot to follow GS completely, such as inviting people with high GS but having inappropriate gear such as incompatible stats, pvp gear, or unenchanted/socketed gears. and p/s: i dont even have GS installed nor do i ever use GS. I only know of my GS through other people inspecting me |
