    Peaple keep ignoring the message "one or more players new to duty" aperently

    So ran copper hm, haukke hm, phaeros today for first time and all 3 of those the tank just imediately went and pulled a bunch of mobs.

    Since its my first time doing these and i'm healing, had a few wipes trying to keep the tank alive during those. Plus once i even lost were everyone ran, so they died

    During pharoes the fight with a bird and these eggs. Well that one went good untill he started massive aoe damaging peaple and the tank died on me. Afterwords the tank made a comment "I know your new, but you suck"

    Ended up finishing those 3 dungeons though at least

    I'm getting a very bad vibe from the endgame comunity here, do most peaple just ignore if someones new to end game at this point?

    yup they're all in a rush rush rush to get the currency they need for the fancy gear that the expansion will make useless because the questing gear will be better. As usual

    Sometimes it's good to tell them you're new, because they can say "New player bla bla" but they dunno who.
    It'll also help to ask the tank to do smaller pulls.
    Hit or miss on that question because some tanks act like jerkoff's just like the DPS and cry tears when
    newer healer can't keep up as they proceed to namecall and demand huge pulls. So tired of that.

    Imo, seems like a normal day in Doodie Finder. .-.

    communication is key. If you don't SAY you're new, the tank could just assume you're someone's alt or whatever.
    SAY something if you want something to happen.

    Best thing is to say "hey, I'm new, please let me know if there's something about these battles." Most people will be very willing to help. Of course, there are still jerks out there that don't care, but you probably won't see them again.

    Ignore or not I don't think most people care. When they've run it 1000000000000000 times they just see blur.

    "I'm sorry did you say something? I can't hear you from back there lol"

    As a tank I always run through dungeons quickly but not a full on speed run just so the new player can get an idea of the flow of how people speed run. I also don't care if they watch the cut scenes as it allows me time to grab a drink or use the washroom.

    I usually announce that i haven't done something when i'm healing, something along the lines of "i've never done this before, be gentle, i'm fragile."

    I always announce when I'm new to a run. The problem is I've had times where people will even kick you if you haven't done a run before, just because they're in such a rush to get done with it and on to the next one. Don't get me wrong, I've made quite a few friends in the community, and that rare time I meet other nice people in the DF is nice, but about 99% of the players in the DF just want to get everything done quickly, and rush everyone involved. Particularly on the story driven content where people want to watch the cutscenes. It seems to me that more often than not it's the tank that's doing it, unless the tank is new, in which case there's always that one DPS or Healer who pulls everything then complains to said tank when the early pulls cause issues......

    It's usually easy to see when some one is new, PLd having under 5k-6k HP for a said content, WAR having under 7k, Melee dps under 5k, ranged under 4k, Healers under 4k.


    But either way, if you told them that you were new, the tank would of probably adjusted his pulling size. But if you didn't say you were new (the healer, of all people!), then i suppose it could your fault.
