Evening Reading: Labor Day Edition
by Alice O'Connor, Sep 06, 2010 5:00pm PDTIt's been a quiet Labor [sic] Day here at Shacknews as the video games industry has mostly been out in the garden with a beer in one hand and a hotdog in the other, not to mention I've been working by myself. Still, I hope that whoever and wherever you are, you have come to appreciate the labouring classes a little bit more than you did before.
Me, I've been working hard all labour day so nobody appreciates long, hard slog better than me. Crumbs, what a gruelling day! I think I'll unwind by playing the PC version of Chime, which unlocked on Steam while I was writing this post. I already have the Xbox 360 edition but this'll make a fine addition to my netbook for travel fun.
so I started playing about 2 weeks ago, after quitting about 5 years ago. got to lvl 60 stupidfast, now at lvl 70 and taking things slow.
holy shit, the average player is a fucking retard. I guess that's the result of making everything so easy, but wow. I was remembering the days of UBRS with sap, sheep, MT and MA, and wiping for good reasons. it seems all people know how to do is tank and spank now.
I play a lock, and always soulstone the healer. friends aside, I have seen dozens of healers use their soulstones in the middle of an overwhelming, inevitable wipe, only to die 2 seconds later. when i ask why they didn't want to use it, and res everyone afterwards, I get "I didn't think of that"
seriously? you're lvl 70+ and you've never learned to pull properly(tank), keep aggro down(dps/heal), or avoid wipes(healer)?
these people are getting rewarded with godly gear, too.
it's impossible to find groups for BC heroics. I have never finished one. it's always a wipe on the first or second pull. repeatedly. please tell me this improves at 80.
