He was Uber Twinked!!!

[KeuvenSeijin]

That happens on here a lot.  When I'm grouping with my twinks that actually need to group if you even mention that you are twinked you tend to get invited into groups a lot faster.  There was one group that was turning people away because they were in their newbie quest gear  :shock: .

[mac173]

That happens a lot. I got a tell once, asking what gear I had. I said, no thanks, I don't need any gear. They said, we want to know if your gear is good enough to join our group.

/ignore


My alts are twinked to the extent that a LVL 30 main can twink. I do not accept gear that is beyond my main. The rest of my chars farm, and I only have what can be bought  in the Bazaar.

It also depends on what he considered being Twinked meant. Hell, at one point I thought having a PSU was being Twinked!

Obviously his idea of being twinked failed to impress the mobs.  :lol:

One of these day's I'm going to go LFG with "Beastlord LFG! Very Knowledgeable about the game!!!Worth the Weight of 20 twinks!" and see how far I get.  :P

If not just the usual 'Won't kill you' sign works.

And somewhere in the zone is a guy going, "we could use a necro, but I dunno what the boy porn and the hard chocolate shell will bring to the group"

[Aubre]

I <3 Ghulam armor. Got me to my 40s or so :P

I've noticed that PC seems to attract the LFG upsell more than other zones. If someone made me do it, I think my best bet would be "a_lowbie who has an /assist key LFG!"

[Atropine_BB]

He may have stated his being twinked because that tells the other players that he has something to bring to the group.  A twinked out warrior has more AC and HP's than a warrior is lvl appropriate gear and a twinked out necro would have a larger mana pool and more HP's than a non-twinked one.

I've got to admit that when I write my description in the LFG window, it looks something like this...

Atropine 55 Beastlord - Zone (wherever I happen to be)

NOTES:
LDON or POP - 2632hp 1016ac unbuffed, FT6, EE4
(I actually have more ac than that, but I don't know if magelo doesn't count my iksar ac bonus??)

I found that when I started adding my unbuffed hp/ac with the extras like FT6 and EE4, I started to get more tells for groups.

I think saying "heavily twinked" LFG is the wrong way to go about it.  If you instead put down some pretty crucial stats that are beneficial to the group, it #1 shows that you know enough about the game to know what is important to people who are looking for well equipped players, and #2 probably at least know the rudimentary basics of /assist MT, no breaking mez, and knowing how to play your class.

[KeuvenSeijin]

I do that when trying for PoV or BoT since groups in those places tend to like high HP/AC tanks.

Hey, I got twinked with 2 PSUs at lvl 17....I think it was the last thing my 'main' ever did  :D

[feralize]

Trust me, as a necro, if you want to group, you need to use every trick in the book to actually obtain one. Necro's are perceived as far less group-friendly than a beastlord for instance, even though a well-informed player would know different.

But how many low-level characters are that "well-informed"? Especially those whose mains are below level 40-50 or whatever. They are more than likely to be the casual kind of player, don't read message boards at all, and all they hear about necros are from people who they meet in-game. When they think of necro they think uber-soloers who don't lfg simply because they are that good at soloing. There are so many more of these players than most people give credit.

Maybe the guy got tired of waiting 3 hours lfg so he thought he'd try something different /shrug. Sometimes necros need some group lovin' too  :lol:

[Timil]

Sorry to ask this question but what does "I <3 Ghulam armor." mean?

[kegulik]

Sorry to ask this question but what does "I <3 Ghulam armor." mean?

<3 tends to mean a heart, so it's 'I love ghulam armor'

http://lucy.allakhazam.com/itemlist.html?searchtext=ghulamis quest armor from shar vahl(shadeweavers, I think).  Good stuff.

After trying to level an enchanter in PC, I would take you in a second

OT: KeuvenSeijin -- I noticed your sig was from Princess Mononoke, that was a good movie :P

[renl]

IMO you learn to play the class a lot quicker if you don't have that twink "cushion" to help you out.

A lot hate it but I think it's nice to see the better droppable items having a recommended level on it :P

People will be people though :?

I agree I have a level 56 beastlord on the Tunare Server who was a major Twink.  I am not saying that I did not know how to play because I beleive I am one hell of a beastlord.  


I started a beastlord recently on FV server just for a break from Tunare and started with nothing.  I just started replacing my patchwork armor with better items at level 30.   When you are not twinked and dont have the HP and MANA you got to use every skills that you have available to you so you dont die to a normal dark blue conning mob.   I never realized the fun of actually pulling yourself up from your bootstraps to earn everything that you have.    It reminded of starting the game for the first time, not  knowing anyone or having anything and you all say that it is easy for a newbie to level these days I am sorry I do not see it.  The bag, bandages and senseheading makes no differance at all when you are leveling.

But that is my opinion.
