So, I meant to blog yesterday, and failed, and now I am blogging for today AND yesterday’s experiences. Bear with me here if this blog is a little bit long.

So yesterday I lounged around, complaining about how it’s Friday and how I only have the weekend before school starts up again after Spring Break. A friend (Rob, aka MassBandit) just got to 70 and was doing his advancement, so I stuck around for that. Screenie: link

Afterwards, I attempted to OPQ with Joe (Yundei) and I was always the leader. It being Friday, it wasn’t all that hard to get in (with people in school or on dates). We attempted to get through several PQs, but the main issue we had was that people were just too idiotic to ever cooperate.

Ex. no. 1:
We get in, and moron #1 clicks on Wonky the Fairy and doesn’t read what it says, and winds up kicking himself out of the PQ. Which is fine, because we only need five people, but he expects us to rush him back in, which isn’t going to happen. So he quits the party and spams us as tracks, and someone winds up DCing along the way.

Ex. no. 2:
We get in and someone leaves while holding cloud pieces.

Ex. no. 3:
We get to the ‘walkway’ stage with the regular pixies and the ghost pixies, when two stone pieces go missing.
‘Guys, check your inventory.’
‘Nope.’
‘Nothing.’
‘I gave all my pieces to you.’

Ooohhkaaay, two pieces randomly walked off never to be seen again.

Ex. no. 4:
‘GAIZ OMG THESE LUCIDA’S KILLED ME OHMYGOD WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!!?!?!?!??!?!!’
‘Oh, I don’t know, maybe you made the high-levelled monsters mad and went someplace you shouldn’t have. Ya think?’

Ex. no. 5:
The ever-popular;
‘Guys, I gotta go.’

So that day ended miserably, us never getting further than the walkway stage.
End day one.

Start day two. Also known as: Today.

So at first, I was going to hang out with Jaimy (Rokui) and Joe (Yundei), but Jaimy wanted to run off to Lucida’s with Joe so I got pissed and left to OPQ on my own. Joe then decided to come OPQ with me, so eh, it worked out well. Winds up, though, that after I missed getting in twice and Joe missed once, I got a little annoyed and gave up. I logged out of annoyance and did a bit of random stuffon the intarwerbz, and logged in a little bit later. We then tried joining PQs together, which never worked out because we never got in. After a while, we gave up and started to finish the bone helm quest, when Joe had to go AFK for something on VH 1, and then went AFK for dinner. Buuut, I finished it on my own! And now I have an oh-so-sexy bone helm.

With my new bone helm, I was very happy, but very bored. And my newest cure for boredom? Orbis Party Quest, of course. So that’s where I headed once more, on my own this time, and the party actually got in. I thought that these people wouldn’t be too hard to deal with. Most of them spoke english up to a first-grade language, which is good enough for me in PQs. I mean, that’s really all I ask for. And you can’t expect much out of people when you PQ.

So we got in, did the entire party quest with barely any trouble, and finally made it to the boss stage, with twenty two minutes left. Should be no problem, right? WRONG.

Let’s see, the party was made up of…
One wizard.
One archer (me).
One warrior. (A spearman with HB.)
Two sins.
And one person who D/C’d towards the beginning, so he doesn’t matter.

Anyways, because I’m level 70, I’m expected to kill the Papa Pixie, I guess. So I was down there, jamming the pot key and the attack key, and praying to the gods above that I didn’t lag. I had expected everyone to help a little bit, but what do you know, none of them did. Except for the warrior. Well, all he did was HB when it wasn’t needed and sit there poking the other party members when it was needed, so I constantly had to spam ‘HB’ into party chat throughout the battle. I figured I should explain to him why he was there.
‘Warrior, use HB more often, that’s why you’re here.’
And the punchline?
‘I’m not a warrior, I’m a spearman.’
…*Face palm*

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, Papa Pixie has a skill that makes every little ‘buff’ go away. No more soul arrow, no more booster, no more warrior pill or HB or haste. So essentially, when that happens, you gotta pray that the warrior notices and uses HB again, and that the sin uses haste again, and that you don’t die because of carelessness. And if they don’t, you gotta spam ‘HB OMG HB’ into party chat twenty times before they listen.

Anyways, Papa Pixie went DOWN. It was all me, of course, and the warrior got into an argument with me about that.

Me : That was all me.
Warrior : NOOOO IT WUZNT
Me : Oh, you mean when you poked other party members, you were actually doing damage to Papa? I didn’t notice.
Warrior : OMG B@@#!@TCH OMGGG

Anyways, here’s a screenshot of the EXP I got. I think it’s 5912 for me, and 1335 extra for the party bonus. Notice how the exp is white, which means that I was the one whose attack did finally kill Papa. link

The warrior is the one who said ‘Finally’. Well no duh, it took a while. It wouldn’t have taken so long if you actually /did something/. Also, I gave him like, thirty cure alls, and he didn’t use any of them. Whenever he was cursed, he just F4ed and stood there until it went away.

Anyways, sorry for the impossibly long blog.
The moral of this story is to always PQ with people who have half a brain.

Peace out,
Amanda. <3
