First off, hello to all who read this, if any of you do…yeah, beside that heres my little rant about my first few ludibrum Party Quest(PQ) adventures.
Well I finally got thru what I like to call “lvling hell,” A.k.a, getting to lvl 35 from 31. It’s that little fun part of the game where there is no magical quest that gives you 30% exp…hard as hell, but I shortened thanks to a cleric who healed me while I tanked..and tanked I did, poor little Sakura Cellions(the little cat/dog/unicorn things). So I was finally at lvl 35, I had one thought, JOY! I was brimming with happiness, and ready to pq. But being the kinda person I am I went ahead and finished every quest I could first, progressing my lvl to 36. Hell it should be easy to pq now right? WRONG!
So I’m thinking “I’m a lvl 36 spearman with all lvl 35 rare gear, this will be a cinch!” Ever had your little dreams squashed in front of you? So still oblivious to my fate I headed to Eos Tower 101st floor channel 1 and started spamming my ass off, it was time to feel the ice cold hands misery sneaking up on you.
Basically my initial experience went like this, “joined to party”, expelled!”, “joined to party”, expelled!”,”joined to party”, expelled!” etc, etc. When I finally was allowed to stay in a party, you get meet the “O so friendly other ppl who play MMO’s” “WTH?!? he’s a NOOB!” “what NOOB!” “You guys are so weak!”, I must say I felt loved…don’t ppl realize they were once new at this game too!!?!?! For crying out loud! help the new ppl! don’t make an ass of yourself, your not more cool because you can be a jerk to weaker ppl! Don’t ppl realize the whole thing works better if they “EXPLAIN” how to do the quest?!? *huff* huff*huff*
Alright I’m okay, So eventually a Extremely nice archer named “MightyLima” takes the time to sit down and talk about how this all works, I mean I read up on it on the internet, but thats useless without experience! So we get through almost all the stages..BAM, leader disconnects…great, back to channel one PQ hell…after deciding that I’m sick of this…that is until I have the unavoidable lust for more experience. I go out and take out my rage on helpless little teddy bears, excellent therapy really! O_O
Later that night I got the courage back to head out into the big world of PQ’s and try again. Finally I got lucky(about time too!), I got joined to high lvl party who just needed a member to get in! YES! this is what i wanted, I just had to help with the puzzles and leave the Boss whooping to the strong guys while sucking up the heavenly amounts of exp! Everything went fairly smooth, besides the jack@ss party members with their little high lvl power trips on our noob asses, but I was to tired to care…Long story short we complete the PQ! Yes! the Boss is dead, it’s time to get our loot from the limited time(1 minute) bonus stage! I was feeling pretty lucky, especially since I had just finished a pq and if to prove my point, a lvl 50 cape pops out of little box just for me! GLEE!…and then the pain. As I was going up to the platforms to the prize boxes, one of the Assins cast Haste(Haste improves jump and speed) Now I ain’t so used to haste so Overshoot my prize and fall down a few platforms, no matter right? I mean it was obvious that broke that particular box right? No one would loot from me. would they? hell yes those little carrion would! Say good bye to the cape! I think the best thing about the guy who stole my cape is when I asked, politely, to give it back. His genius answer? “I ned it man!” Oooookkkayyy, lets get this straight, you’re lvl 35, it’s lvl 50…you need cause..????? Hell atleast if he said “i’m going to sell it” I wouldn’t be so pissed…Some ppl…

So thats my little rant about my first Ludi PQ experience,
Your friendly “ZealWarlord” Guild Master,
