The "Differently Geared" - Standing in Stupid

Salmonoid

Intro music is severely overused on YouTube videos, I suggest not using it again.

Ashtaris

Hilarious video and thanks for the good laugh And to be fair to Jim, I feel your pain budd. I don't know how many times I've died while standing in the red, but we all do until we get use to watching for the signs and reacting to them. We learn, we adapt, have fun, and get better So have fun Jim as it seems like you are in a good group.

LOL this is awesome. Please make more!

"Jim, you just ran INTO a circle"

I lol'd

Xjcon

Lol. "I can't get out of the circle (the stupid) it's following me!" That statement alone had me laughing so hard. GG

One of the fumiest posts on these forums. I think I need to change my name in real life before I start seeing red circles every time someone calls me by my name.

Nighn_9

Yes please I want many many more of these to watch great video lmao

Thank you for pointing out why I don't count myself as an MMO player. You people are too judgmental and you want everyone to play a specific way.

I'd rather not complete content than to put up with people like that.

This is nothing to do with people wanting others to play in a certain way, as long as said people have the common sense to get out of the blast radius of a huge amount of incoming damage that is obviously incoming.

Indeed; hope Jim finds some folks who are more interested in being helpful and laid back about the game than being well, bullyish.

It's tantamount to making fun of the skinny kid that can't do a pull-up in "gym" class, and posting a video about how wretched he is, and how they shouted at him in front of the rest of the group. Honorable, and certainly commendable.

Of course this is quite normal in MMO's. Players way too impressed by their elite skill of button pushing, perfectly justified in the vilification of those with perceived inferior abilities.

Great "Why random grouping requires a thick skin---or no mic" video.

I guess it could sound that way without knowing the players and knowing they are actually family, not a PUG. When you take into account it was me yelling at him, and he happens to be my older brother I hope you can understand it wasn't meant as hostile. He gives me grief all the time for doing the same sort of things. We just chose the extreme clips to use in the video as we thought they were funny after the fact. In some of those clips, it was Jim, our sister, my wife, and I.

Jim lives in a different part of the country but we still play together several times a week. He stands in red, and I always face pull and accidentally fall off high places. Have to include Jim yelling at me for getting us all killed in one of the upcoming videos, lol!

Man, that is SO cool!! Tried to get my kids to play with my husband and I, they just didn't take to it. Would have been a perfect 4 man group!

Also, have to say that makes it even funnier. Knowing you are all family while hearing Jim get yelled at is awesome LOL!

Thank you for the clarification; I was too quick to assume the group was a PUG, due to my own experiences of having to leave many groups with a similar attitude towards a "weak link" in a party (whether myself or others). I'm sure from the outside many would think my siblings and I are harsh to each other as well---lol.

Happy gaming!

Love it!
You guys should do a vid of some forays into IC.

Heh. I've played with a lot of people who just stand in AOE circles, and come to find out most of them are in first person (where you can't see AOEs). It really gives you a sense of immersion, but kills any chances of survivability. That said... that video was

I totally did that the other day. I healed a PUG and didn't realize I was doing it in first person until we were done because I'm so used to doing solo content in first person. Thankfully I didn't blow it!

I watched the video thinking it was sure to be yet another "Here's the time I soloed everyone on the North American server at once and won" vids. What a refreshing change of pace it wound up being, showing instead the human mistakes we've all made from time to time. Thanks for this.

So for some reason my capture wasnt working during our first attempt at Molag Kena.... it was hysterical because three of them died to the fire wall, I rezzed them, then while they were explaining the wall of fire i died to it because i was running around in circles...

We do have fun

Uberkull

Funny...but...doesn't hold a candle to a real WoW raid. Then again, ESO dungeons or trails aren't 'raids'. Try managing 40 people....

I give you Dives, raid leader of a 40 man Onyxia raid back in 2006. If you remember the mechanics of this fight....well, I lmao to this day at listening to this video and the matching animations.

OK - I'm so used to playing in first person that it never occurred to me to switch to third so I could see AOE circles. I don't know why I never thought of this, all I can say is I'm a creature of habit, can't teach an old dog new tricks, etc. I'll have to try and get used to third person though so I won't be Jim anymore.

Was Everquest before your time? We regularly had 100+ in two raids on the same target (because we had a huge guild). Those were some good days. That's where I learned that if I get agro, DON'T MOVE.

Nah..it wasn't. Just wanted to point out a raid that has a historic vent recording of a raid leader going off.

You are blessed to group with your family. I tried to get my 2x sons +wife into ESO, they didnt.

Yea, this was the only OTHER 40 man back then in WoW. Molten Core.

Gidorick - I would rather run with my "Jim" in our guild than any of the elitist players out there. Actually ALL of us love when our "Jim" is on. We are like a family, he tries so hard and is a blast to run with.

I don't take this thread at all to being judgmental. Clearly they run together a lot because it's different fights.

Forced first person for having my back against the wall once prevented me from seeing one

That was good, but doesn't hold a candle to the WOW Onyxia raid wipe or leeeeeeeroy Jenkins epicness.
Props to Uberkull for getting the Dives rage out there. Best of all time.

Our guild has a "Jim" too and we adore him. We have all played together for years and our funniest/happiest memories are of the things "Jim" has done. Games are supposed to be about having fun, right?
