Quote:No, it's not hard. We simply have different views on things, and go about things in our own way. He might not've agreed with how I handled the situation, but it's how I handled it because that's my personality type. That bein' said, it wasn't constructive criticism to me, thus my comment that I could only speak for myself. Additionally, when I said it, I was willin' to accept the possible repurcussions, as with any other decision that I make.WTF...
WhiteHotFlash gave some advice to everyone in general, and pretty sound advice if you ask me, and you discount like that?
Arrogant, yeah, but not necessarily the word I'd use in this case. I'd also say unbelievabe, but it really isn't.
Is it really that hard to take some constructive criticism and leave it at that? -
Quote:I can only speak for myself, but I'll pass.Perhaps this is a good time, then, to work on inter-personal communication skills (goes for all those who chose to lead in some capacity).
You may not think that what you're saying is offensive, or rude, or whatever, but to those who don't know how you operate (which in this case is what happened), you sure do come across as all those things. And for folks that are front and center as "community leaders" of Champion, that's not a good impression to make on folks that are new to the server.
Leaders don't have to be pricks to get their jobs done. Followers don't have to be pricks when they don't get their way.
This observation comes from someone who hasn't led big raids, but has been a part of enough of them to know what's going on during them, and has witnessed poor behaviour in the chat channels from both sides.
And yes, the irony is overwhelmin' and isn't lost on me. -
Quote:He's talkin' 'bout me, for what it's worth. This really shouldn't come as a surprise. However, it should be noted that 'ignorant' isn't exactly correct. And by that, I mean he wanted to join a Tank team. He didn't have Taunt. Per our strategy, that's not adviseable and counter-productive. As joinin' the scrapper team would've done the exact same damage by basically wipin'em out. I explained this, as Naloc said, on team.Since I-3 I have been running on Protector. I finally branched out and leveled a scrapper to 50 and at the prompting of a friend, I decided to join the Hami Raid last night. I guess Protector spoiled me, because never before have I met more arrogant, ignorant players than I came across last night. Being a so called "leader" of a raid makes you no better than anyone else. Because someone chose to bring a toon that didn't match up with stereotypical builds should not prevent them from being able to join a team and participate in the raid. Yes, I stuck up for the player, after asking him some questions through tells. I'm just shocked that no one else did.
The player did find a team. The majority of players were great. The raid was successful. I just expected a whole lot more from players on a server like Champion. This isn't the Freedom server.
Ignorant? No. I know our strategy. Arrogant? Yeah, I've been called worse.
Edit: I'd also like to say that I'm not a Raid Leader. I'm just the targetter on occasion. Nor am I the 'oh master of hami', as it was said last night. -
Quote:True story. But my submission was five seconds too long. My own fault, I knew the rules. I just wanted to say what I wanted to say.
Blueskin Cobalt Azurean
Oh well.
So, to slake your inquisitive thirst, here's what I said:
"Hey Champion, this is Cobalt Azurean, and I'd just like to... waitaminute, is there a badge for this soundbyte? ANYWAYS, I'd just like to say Champion Server... or G.T.F.O. Deuces." -
Quote:Bump.This Thursday night we will be having a double raid night.
It will be starting with the Hami, then headed to do the normally scheduled Mothership Raid. We will be starting at the regularly scheduled time for the mothership raid, at 8:30pm EST but we be starting the Hive for Hami first. -
I'd rather they didn't, as I wouldn't want'em to fall into the same routine as WoW. Level fifty is fine just where it is.

'Bout forty minutes. Nicely done, all.

Already talked in game, but welcome back all the same, Horny.

Per the rumor 'round the water cooler, there's a Nemesis Steam-horse in the .pigg files...

I'll eventually level a villain up that high to be able to help out. Good luck with the Redside Hami Raid, Llew and co.
