Monk Speed, Dash, Haste, Battletide PEEEEEAAAAWWWW!!!! 10000mph across 7 areas in 7 seconds. "/p ((Where is everyone? Keep up please! It can't be my fault your all dead I'm the fastest!!!))"

It's getting annoying now. Is there anyone else on the server being driven crazy by people who run off ahead of the party with no concern for the average speed of the group, or staying relatively together, setting off armies of spawns for the rest of the party to fight through and die alone to whilst dissipated all over the place trying to keep up?

Please don't anyone feel offended if your obnoxious enough to tell me or other party members to 'keep up' and I just leave party and go look for some people with tactics, cohesion and RP to party with.

This isn't a recent thing this is as old as 'boots of speed' but there is a huge amount of guilty parties on this server.

Have some consideration for others.

And before you make comments, I don't really care about your excuses or opinions. My stance is hostile on this kind of behaviour from here on. I'm gonna loose a lot of friends but at the same time I know i'll have a huge amount of support from the people that are worth partying up with. That's what matters.

This shit costs me coins of life which makes it IC aswell as OOC so expect PvP when I want my jink back and your to blame.

You could just tell it to group... if they don't go with it, then leave the group or kick the "violators" from the group. :rolleyes: It's really as simple as that.

When Dogatr was doing it with me I didn't mind so much cos it was just the two of us.

It's when there's a big party of 4-10 or more people, there's always one speed demon and it just gets infuriating.

I will that's what i'm saying, but the idea of this post is to give people a liberal heads up and chance to change their mistaken ways before all kinds of in game dramas break out.

Erm... no?

Someone wants to run ahead, fine. Let them spawn the triggers. The core of the party should be able to handle the spawns. Its the guy running solo who runs the bigger risk.

But, if as you say, it was a decent sized party, then surely there was at least one mage with persistent haste no? If not, then most of the party should be about the same speed - excepting any monks... and clerics with battletide... and druids with storm avatar... and rangers in outdoor areas... and hey! Ogre barbarians with long gait and barbarian fast movement.

As a common healer, I feel you azul, so I came up with a rule for when I'm about even Clerics can't heal stupid so when I get someone like that and they run off and die, I go sorry Can't Heal Stupid.

The person who runs way ahead is usually not the one to suffer it is the ones all spread out chasing at their own various speeds that get killed by the rear spawns.

You find people in the middle like myself facing death to go back and rescue the corpses also.

People pretending they don't understand just shows they are likely the ones doing it and not the ones suffering the consequences.

Did anyone notice the word 'Nazi' in the post title?

I don't think it's the subject people object as much as how hostile approach you take... or other way to say it 'overreacting'. Yes it might not be fun... but no need to rage over something minor like this... it's solved as simply as just not even trying to travel with the people that don't try to travel with you.

Its quite simple, if the party splits up, then you ALL get what you deserve. Those who stick together, survive.

That is why you go as a party, not as a collection of individuals.

If you find yourself in a party that is a collection of individuals, swallow a potion of invisibility (you do keep a potion or two about yourself don't you?) and get the hell out of dodge, because somebody is going to get you killed.

Ha ha.... nah, there is a difference between being a scout and being someone who just charges ahead of the party.

If you're an epic Cleric(Travel/Time domains)/Sacred Fist/Monk build with persistant haste on and the Dash feat... well, it doesn't really matter if you spawn tough things or not, because the only thing capable of catching you is a DM.

Is that what your forum avatar is showing Cere?
