I've been hunting in SolA now for two nights with friends, 4-5 hour sessions. If anyone plays ogre or troll you share my annoyance in being unable to cast in half the zone until you find a tall enough area. Thats fine, I can move past that as a challenge.

What gets hard is how glitchy the game is acting. If I sit on a wall in most areas my body I am assuming "pushes through the wall to the other side" and thus causes massive trains. The game shouldn't physically register me through the other wall and capable of causing aggro but count it - six times now this has happened.

So I said ah the hell with SolA and ran over to Clan Runnyeye. Low and behold I walk in and there is one other lvl 12 I begin casually chatting with and im lvl 22. I run around the corner of the ENTRANCE on the 1st floor maybe 100 feet in and BAM! ... In the wall spawns Borxx a level 30-35 enchanter mob which nukes for 150. It's legit stuck in the wall spinning. This gentlemen I am speaking with claims its been there nonstop since launch and hasn't been fixed and that Borxx is meant to roam the 2nd floor.

Ah hah. So I get my corpse and run back. Sneakily avoiding the area where Borxx maimed me and made me lose more experience. I run around the corner and kill some mobs and start medding... in the wall... guess what happens?

It's time. Shrink. If the game isn't capable of not glitching, I need to be capable of avoiding. You ever tried to run from a train while crouching through a dungeon unable to cast? It's comical.

What made all the difference for me on my troll shaman leveling in solA last week was turning auto-duck off in options. After I did so I needed to relog for it to work. Seemed to be able to stand and sit in places that before I'd be stuck in duck mode.

Oh well I will surely try this. Thank you.

Untrue. Plenty of people want to interact with me. And it wasn't a backfire thread. As you see people posting the same problem over and over on these forums. We just disagree and you've learned the only way to disagree with someone is to try and silence them.

Okay. If your plans change, I don't have you on ignore. 100P for 10 dose SoW pots, get 'em while they are hot.

Do you honestly think you didn’t look like the asshole in that thread? It wasn’t about your opinion regarding lists it was about how you dealt with the situation. It’s understandable to want the system changed (though I think it’s fine) but to join the list and refuse to help was poor form.

Nope.

... but to join the list and refuse to help was poor form.

I disagree entirely. List has created a new social nuance and people have differing opinions about what is socially expected. I find it grossly offensive for people to assume I should farm list 1's item for them, even at list 2. I understand other's perspective to be VERY different. Right now, the rules don't dictate expectation.

My intent was to discuss the expectation and suggest a implementation to remedy the problem. People disagreeing with my suggestion or even disliking me doesn't mean it backfired. It is one of the most responded to threads in this sub. So I'd say mission accomplished.

Shrink was originally added with the Plane of Fear patch. Assuming Green/Teal do the same, we'll have the Shrink spell in January. I'm also playing a Troll shaman, and I've also spent a lot of time in SolA. It's annoying sometimes, yes, but it's just part of the game as it was in this early stage. We actually have it easier as Shamans than Warriors and SKs do, because Shamans can gate (thus avoiding the frustration of trying to duck while running out with a train) and Shamans can make their own Shrink potions to save money. Also make sure "auto duck" is turned off in your options menu; it forces you to stay ducked in many more spaces than you actually need to. And go camp a Guise for an unlimited use size-reducing ability. Or you can bitch on the forums fruitlessly for the unbearably long two months until the PoF patch, if that's your thing.

Autoduck will fucking kill you. Never use it. Duck manually, like a real duck.

This idiot is still defending himself. It was the fact that you joined the group, then left when you found out the #1 person couldn't solo the mob. Then made a forum post in an attempt to get him to give up the spot. The other group members only left because you joined and were replacing their healer. This is all in screenshot proof. So the fact that you try and twist the situation is hilarious. You are a scumbag and the entire server knows it.

Don't I have a right to agree to this? The other members may have left because I was there. No one asked me to heal. No one said come heal for this group. I never said I would heal. I show up see list is down to two and /list . They assume I am going to heal them. That's crap. The screenshot shows no one asked me.

Don't assume my charity. I was prepared to sick my pet for someone for 10 hours. I was NEVER going to solo a mob for someone for 10 hours.

You joined a group and expected to not contribute? How does helping someone kill a mob = You soloing a mob for someone. Are you mentally challenged?

And let's be real, this isn't true. The druid left because he got his manastone. He was never gonna stay, just like everyone else who gets their manastone. The mage left because according to them his /list bugged. He left because he had no chance of getting a manastone. This idea that two people were farming the manastone for a 35 necro out of altruism just isn't real. The reality is if I didn't show up the Necro would have been there all alone, unable to kill the PH.

Inaccurate, see my quote below.

I was prepared to sick my pet for someone for 10 hours.

Because he had an under leveled pet and his spells wouldn't land on the mob? Equals me solo.

If you can't level in solA don't go to solA? Selecting the right camp for your character is probably the main goal of the game.

I remember doing the same thing (dying in solA on my troll warrior) on Blue, and i moved to Guk.

I am not sure what this thread is about ^^;

However it is NOT about Grakken, 'the fuck? This is not RnF guys.
