The Roc

[Keits]

Some really prepared group tagged The Roc today.

They had about 30 spectators, all there for The Roc.

2 Alliances watched, as a group of 5 fought The Roc.

The DRK PLD PLD RDM RDM group fought hard for 5 minutes.

The DRK died.

One of the RDMs called for help.

Called for Help on a once-per-day spawn that they knew they couldnt handle when they claimed it, essentially wasting it for everyone.

Both the JP and NA alliance stood and watched, offering no aid to the party.

They suffered another death or two, and tried to zone.

They zoned, and the NA alliance was agroed by the Orange Status mob.

The NA alliance then zoned too, knowing that if the mob was attacked before it was full health and Yellow named, that no items would drop, and the mob would be wasted.

The JP alliance attacked anyway and got no drops.

These are the idiots you get to see when you start HNM hunting.

/cry

its a sad thing when someone calls for help on a NM... even worse on an HNM (btw what does the H actually stand for?)

-Ham :shock:

 

[Kipsy]

I have no idea what the H stands for, but oh my GOD I'm so sorry for you! Calling for help on a NM is just ignorant -_-, plus if you DO kill it, you don't get the yummy drop!

/em beats the alt+g happy RDM with the 107 IM Giant Catfish she just caught...

 

[Agris]

Yeah it was totally awesome :/ (H- hyper) notorious monster. Hopefully that foolish PLD learned his lesson. BTW a good Roc PT is 12 60's they had 2~68 3~62. Both PLD had to burn 2 hour.

 

[GhostinmyShell]

Yeah this happened in my linkshell too, we invited a guest to a Simurgh hunt and he called for help. The mob was pretty dead and he CFH, it was a real pain in the ass since we had to zone/warp out and hope we could get the mob again. A few ppl died, etc... We of course never invited him again...

Seriously people you go NM hunting disable that help key or your in some deep shit if your ever invited as a guest...

 

[BENWALLACE]

Sounds like this one story I heard of some dipshit RNG CFH on Simurgh, as it was about 5% life... I believe his name was Strid. Name left in cause he's a loser.

Leaving the names out protects the guilty (idiots who call for help on HNMs) and hurts the innocent (the rest of us).

Sorry, i'm a nice guy, but you dont leave out the king idiot of all idiots. the person who called for help was named: Genco

Called for Help on a once-per-day spawn that they knew they couldnt handle when they claimed it, essentially wasting it for everyone.

What I love is when they threaten to call for help when they suddenly realize that they can't take whatever NM it happens to be. This happened to a friend of mine when he was camping Lizzy, and once to me when I was lvling whm in Valkrum. My party and I was camping near the Valkrum Emp. spawn point when a low lvl thf running through grabs the spawn. People gathered around to watch, of course, and when the mithra hits half life before she's even made a dent on it, she starts threatening to call for help. Maybe had she asked, I could've thrown it out as someone that just didn't understand she was too low for an NM, but all I could do was laugh.

This name is 100% accurate... but I didnt post it.

And to those of you comparing Lizzy or w/e NM to an HNM ~~ Think bigger. Hyper NM take alliances 30 minutes to 3 hours to kill in some cases, and drop retarded expensive loot (with some luck). Worst of all, they spawn, at best, once per real life day.

Isnt Sea Horror an HNM?

no

Oh ok, just checking...

Keits, I didn't think you were for protecting names of incompetent people...lol (/em looks at broken Kert)

Anyways, that really does suck. If it's a normal mob, I think help is deserved. If you're camping, and you're racing everyone else to get the mob, then you better be able to handle it. I don't expect to be camping Capricous (or wahtever) Cassie for her earrings when I'm a level 40 paladin. If you take the mob, don't call for help. Just die like the incompetent people you are.

Also, in my younger days, I had a problem with the Crtl+g mistake. I shortly after changed the call for help button CRTL+Q Because how often are your fingers all the way up there? lol...

Every time you hit CTRL+1 for a macro....

 

[Palum_Q]

I suppose... but my typing skills are better with the CTRL+1 (i can do that one blind folded since I have all my healing macros up there). I personally found I haven't called for help ever since I moved it up there. So in my idiocy, I don't know why I didn't think that...but it must have tuned out of my head since I haven't been calling for help by accident anymore..lol.

 

[Keits]

Hehe, just thought I point out how close Q and 1 and 2 are. I just disabled the mini-macro for call for help, so that If i ever need it, i just use the menu.

As far as not being one to name names... That was more out of respect of the wishes of my HNM Linkshell's boss, rather than out of concern for the person's 'good name'.

You know me too well.... :shock:

 

[Vilurum]

I disabled it too (along with ctrl-D immediately after I read my first story about throwing one of the easter reward eggs). If I want to call for help, I am quite capable of typing "/help". (Do it all the time on tonberries where I don't want their drops.)

 

[Narell]

Never actually accidentally called for help, but I have seen those that threaten to call for help on NMs and I actually told my little brother to do this once while he had my char camping the crypt ghost. He was there for about about 2 hours killing the bats (and one ghost) with a lvl 29 mnk/ war (long time ago) and this JP whm in full AF walks in and just sits there, a new bunch of bats spawn and (watching) I figure he'll start taking them while i rest...he sat there and did nothing, didnt even make an attempt at the bats. So i figured he was waiting for the spawn while my brother is killing the bats (fucking thing spawned the one time while i was engaged with a bat and the other one was alive once) so I tell him to get up and take the bats in yellow. He does and kills them, rests by the door and aggros a few of those skeletons and kills them. He's now orange and the whm has done nothing but walk around. So then the ghost spawned and my brother (somehow) voked it before the whm got his spell (whatever it was) off. The whm then commenced a slapping on my character (i was laughing about this for a bit), my bro hit hundred fists and the ghost used his Reels skill. So he's still ok on health (the reels didnt do much the first time) but then the ghost did the reels thing again....never saw that before. So now he's getting owned by this ghost and the whm starts /laughing at him. So i push my brother out of the way and type "{cure} <me> - {call for help} <t>"
Sorry, it was an asshole thing to do but I decided to be an asshole...for those of you who know me-shut up, the whm didnt cure so i typed /help and started running for the zone.
