DXP Weekend always brings out the worst...

I was grouping with a friend doing newpaper missions in Cap au Diable yesterday evening. She was trying to keep the team full, and there was a lot of chatter in the zone, so she sends a broadcast message like this once after every mission:

"Level 18 NON-AE mission team looking for 3 more"

We got a few and lost a few as is the way of running PUGs.

Then one really sensitive and caring individual sent her a tell:

"r u running a farm?"

She replied, "No, we're running newspaper missions."

"Then NO TEAM!"

The simple fury of the rebuke stunned us all.

Why not share your 'Worst of DXP Weekend' moments?

This DXP weekend hasn't brought anyone out.

I completely agree. As if the game isent EXP EXP EXP orientated enough as is DXP turns ppl into EXP zombies (must eat EXPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP) I dont even log on during DXP anymore!

Ok so like, we were running a farm (Battle Maiden) in PI. And I made a yanno post thingy in broadcast... Said something like...

"Battle Maiden Farm room for 3"

Cuz yanno the other 3 were me, our extra account, and him...

This guy sends me a tell, "Why arent you doing AE"
I said, "Cuz I dont want stupid tickets"
This guy says, "Why not, what else is there to get?"
I said, "um... drops... like salvage and recipes and purples"
This guy says, " cuss word after cuss word and then starts telling me how awesome "Competitive Game" is gonna be so much more awesome than this game..."

I ended up throwing him on IGNORE as a SPAMMER.

Anyways... I was irritated.
Damn you DBL EXP.

(Cuz I have to blame it on something)

Lol, it's not a PP post unless CO is involved.

Yay! PP changed her avatar!

Thanks to prior experience of the sheer asshattery that DXP brings out in people, not to mention the massive lag, server disconnects and all sorts of other issues endemic to DXP weekends, I haven't logged in at ALL, and probably won't until DXP is over.

I actually had a very pleasant teaming experience this weekend. It was about lower teens and I started a group for scanner missions in KR. Completely PUG team mind you. One thing we all noticed was that nearly everyone on the team had upwards of 40+ month vet badges. We all joked that while the newbies were in AE, the old-folks came outside to play

Anyway, one of the team member suggested that we do his Frostfire mission and everyone agreed. We found out later that it was set for Invincible and that he was one level higher than the rest of us so the mobs were +3 to most of the team.

It was rough at first: many deaths to be had and lots of careful pulling. By the time we got halfway done with it, everyone had already advance 3 levels because of Double XP. So by the time we got to Frostfire, we just stream-rolled right over him. Needless to say it was probably one of the best Frostfire run I had in a long time. We struggled and collapsed many times at first. But by the end through the results of our efforts, everything just fell before us. It felt like being an actual super hero

No bad experiences for me this weekend. I managed to avoid almost all contact with other people, which means no-one has been bugging me about all that powerlevelling nonsense and I haven't seen anyone lose his mind over it. So it's been good times all around, and I managed to get a Mastermind from 18 on Friday to 30 last night. That's probably not a big achievement for most of you, but it's pretty fast for me.

I've actuallly had some quite fun experiences this week. DXP has helped me push some characters out of the 30's into the 40's. Especially ones that are fairly tough to Solo. Today, looking to get my TA/Archery Defender up some levels, along with others. There's been a few incidents of people speaking with their rear instead of their brain, but other than that, things have been nice.

I had an interesting experience tonight. I decided to join a AE team since I was that bored, and they gave me the star. Since I couldn't find a mission I liked, I noticed that the team were mostly in the same level range and decided to drag them out of the AE building to do missions. The team was surprisingly competent, besides the 13 year old with a terrible build and typical attitude, but even he was fairly well behaved, and eventually left with the other newbie to try to get his next costume slot, and we were left with mostly competent players. Pwnage ensued, though I had to tell the Corr to go get his nuke.

I'm starting to get the hang of my Dark/Dark Corruptor too. It's weird, but effective.

I just noticed that this thread is tagged "aebies raetarded" (sic). Why is this?

Got my Spider from 20-27 and Widow from 27-31 yesterday, and my Corruptor to 50 Friday.

Nothing bad besides me being on a team with 2 people who didn't know how to get to Nerva from Sharkhead, but that wasn't really a problem.
