The "Differently Geared" - Standing in Stupid

Shimmer

Prefer cosmetic items to ones that actually grant armor? Do you loot during combat? Do people frequently leave your voip channel when you join? Do you frequently AFK during raids? Do you have absolutely no idea how to play your class? Perhaps you are one of the "Differently Geared".

In the first episode of the series, the "Differently Geared" bring you, Standing in Stupid.

The 1:26 is more one of those premonition, lag ,rolls, required type of things . It happens often enough. i don't think there is much to do against.

Soulshine

LMAO!!

Oh my goodness. Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting that, hehe. =D

I have been playing a Templar since beta and I basically lost count of the times that this has happended to me, even in some guild runs I have been in, lol - let alone PuGs

Adding to standing in everything you are not supposed to would be

- players that keep backing up and backing up and backing up, taking aggroed mobs with them... (bow wielders especially seem prone to this...) then they end up dying someplace way the heck behind the rest of the team and of course get mad at me for not healing them while they were 50 meters away from my tank o.O

- Sorcs (forgive me, love yas and your uber, zappy-crispy dps... but....) streaking in vet dungeons

We get that there is the perception Templars and BoL are healing gods but seriously? If it comes to a choice between a cleared run or a wipe due to me running out of magicka for having to heal one person over and over and over who keeps "standing in stupid" ---- uh... I am going to let you die no matter how much you yell at me.

Cheers!

Psychobunni

I 'ed that! True LOL's on this side, can't wait for more!

Saturn

Very funny

Vile_Discharge

haha nice, that is me at times sigh. or just roll in to a wall or rock. My situational awareness is poop sometimes

Lord Xanhorn

Great job....Vet dungeons need roughly 20k health for healers and dps....just FYI. Video was very well done.

Soriana

Okay, I admit it...I came back after being in game and watched it again! Too funny...and too true!

Love_Chunks

Vid was hilarious. "Heavy attack when hes feeding..." lol'd. Vorenor is like the easiest boss ever. Just block the tele attack and move out of the blood pools. Poor jim though. I wonder if he has the bug where the red circles dont display?

Rev Rielle

Thank you for that, gave me a good laugh.
Sounds like poor Jim may have a screen full of flashing numbers, for to not see some of those red circles... one has to wonder.

Soulshine

Forgot to add one of my favorite encouragements during a dungeon, which of course gets the tank chuckling:

"block is your friend" : P

Anyone can do it and you do not need a shield. There is also an achievement for blocking in dungeons, just as there is one for healing and one for doing damage... if you are like a hundred million points in to doing damage but have only 1200k points in blocking...

That's right, hehe

Cheers!

Lol,

From now on when someone in my group will die from standing in stupid ill call it "you just went full Jim"

Also, as a side note, id like to mention rare bug that would prevent AOE circles from displaying properly, tho last time ive seen it was probably month or more ago. Enemy boss would cast AOE attack but there was no circle and often no visual effects. Whole group could get wiped out the instant. I think it could also happen to separate people in group.

The_Sadist

Hilarious!

Reminds me of some of my random pledge PUGs.. Good times.

Xendyn

Came back for a second helping lol
I do hope you make more of these, bookmarked the thread so I can find it again since they moved it.

Shunravi

Good stuff

Rosveen

I wanted to enjoy this video, but I have no clue what's going on underneath all these floating numbers. If I had to play like this, I'd be just like Jim.

Titansteele

Very good stuff!!

We have helped many new players pop their "Red is bad, stay out of it" cherry but poor Jim!

Rinmaethodain

BTW did you know there are different kinds of red?
There is pure red red and there is also some kind of pinkish/salmon light red red.
The first kind is most common.
The other kind can be found only in COA Lurcher boss. I found it to confuse a lot of players. The change of red color tone makes them think that this red is safer than other red because its less color intense.

AudioVortex

Great video!

Hmm I have lately experienced the boss in Crypt of Hearts veteran, the one that pulls and pushes out into aoe circles - her circles are sometimes invisible/ somewhere els than the animation you see on screen. I have rolldodged into aoe fields, where there shouldn't be any.... so have many of my group members as well.

You see the video from the healers point of view... The addon shows all the heals in yellow-whiteish colors on the screen. On the right-centered side of the screen you see all warnings of resource management, such as low stamina, low magicka, no more health... The text you see float around the room in different colors than the heals and warnings are probably the damage the person makes or recieves.
