Looking for likeminded players to dungeon run with - stress free, slow and easy

[Noxifer]

Yes, it was awesomely fun ^__^ Sure, dungeons take a wee bit longer when you stop and chat, but in the long run, what does an extra ten minutes do? (Well, alright, maybe in the higher levelled dungeons it might matter a bit more, but... *shrugs*)


AprilNz - Welcome to the thread =D It's no problem at all if you play less often. We'll just catch each other when we're on at the same time.

Personally, this is my first MMO (have been leery of the pay to play set-up, but decided to give it a try this time), but I've played other social online games before, and my main issue with them is that in the past I've had periods where I haven't played the game at all for months, and then when I come back I've lost contact with everyone I might have gotten to know. Which has made me reluctant to reach out to others in the first place, because I "know" it's just gonna be temporary. So I would very much like to work towards creating something where you're not required to maintain a certain activity just to feel you have somewhere to fit in. To have something where anyone can just pop in and go "Hey, haven't played in a while, anyone up for doing stuff?"
That'd be awesome. <3


Edit: Realized it might be easier for people to find me and Wings (Cielle et al) online if they have a list of all our alts Just because we're mostly on Valerius and Cielle right now doesn't mean it won't change.
FC member list - Frost shards are alts of Cielle and Night shards are alts of Valerius.
If you don't find us as them, you can search for the others =)

As for player rage and first dungeon... Sastasha is still the dungeon I dislike most of all, and it rarely even comes up when me and Wings discuss which low level dungeon we should run. I'm not sure if that's just because of my memories of the first time I ran it still remains (being my first ever dungeon experience), or if it really is worse than the other two of those first mandatory dungeons... But if it is the latter case, I find myself wondering what SE was thinking, not putting the easiest/friendliest/least-stressful dungeon as the first one to ease new players into the experience.

Bynder and Ellie: It was a fantastic day! I enjoyed talking to you guys so much - like I said in the dungeon, I haven't laughed that much in weeks! Best of all though, wasn't the humor, but being able to relax and truly enjoy where we were. For example, I had time to take a peek into the tunnel one of the giants came out of and see what looked like a path to another cave system, or looking down the hole the underground river falls into. Little things like that. It would be nice to someday do a slow Haukke Manor with cutscene watching and taking a closer look at the house, since both me and Noxifer have a thing for architecture and decor. This game is beautiful and the artists have put a lot of effort into its details <3

It feels like we can dare more in a group like this. We once said, after surviving Titan story mode, that no way no how would we ever do HM or EM. Now it feels like it might not be an unreachable future. Maybe I'll even dare to step outside my preferred role as DPS and heal in a dungeon sometime

April: I'm up for playing with you in the way that suits you. Want to get full maps, do re-runs of dungeons for chance at gear, or just get past them, I'm in. Sastasha is my least favourite so far, much due to DF, but with a group that has a mindset like this I'll gladly go there. I'll look for you online and send you a tell if I find you.

Really looking forward to it, managed to unlock Tam Tara before maintenance hit......2 hours to kick back I guess

[Trearne]

Just out of curiosity what timezones are you based in? , This does sound appealing but there's little point if you're all american

[Noxifer]

Me and Wings are in CET (currently GMT+1). Our online times are usually from sometime in the afternoon to well past midnight ^^;;

Hey Trearne, I'm UK too. Not sure for AprilNz? Don't forget we're a linkshell, not free company, so if you'd like to stay in your own Free Company that's absolutely fine.

Last night for example, while Nox and Wings were doing some hunting logs and stuff, I had a go at Garuda HM with some free company friends + duty finder. Forgotten Path (our LS) is all about slowing the pace down, exploring the "pointless" stuff, having time to breath and get immersed in group content, and learning dungeons / classes without being concerned about wiping or letting everyone down. I'd honestly love to play that way all the time, but it depends if there are enough of us on and if we all have the content you're looking to run unlocked. Maybe one day our group will grow and we'll set up a free company too but being in separate Free Companies and Link-shells is totally fine

[Trearne]

sounds good , actually my Fc recently lost most of the reason i was staying in it , load of players upped and shifted servers on me (cant blame em for wanting to be in thier own timezones but still...)
I'm usually about if you want to invite me to the linkshell
on the char listed (my only one)

[Shmunkster]

Hi all
I am the same thoughts as you on this matter! I'd love to join in some gentle dungeon meandering!
Sometimes all I want to do is have a mooch, but we all know how tricky that can be. I have a few friends who I normally run with, and they are pretty chillax too.

I might give you a shout in-game this week, if that ok?

Me and my friends are lv50+, but we aren't really that taken with the whole end-game (and my tanky friend is a stress-monkey entering instances where she doesn't know everyone in the team because she's so nervous), we just like to try new dungeons etc and generally have fun (laugh at each other making derps).....harder than it seems!

[Velo_Vandore]

Fantastic look forward to meeting you all in the game!

@Shmunkster - Yes, totally get what you mean and can relate to your tank friend! If we have enough people online to avoid using duty finder, stepping into unknown territory should be much more fun!

I'm not sure if I'll be on this evening, as I have family round for my birthday, but I'm sure Valerius Aldaine, or Cielle Beauvoix will be happy to invite you to the LS if they're on. Otherwise I'll see you sometime soon.

Happy birthday, then! =D Hope you're having a spiffing awesome time ^^

(We're currently running around doing leves in the shroud, btw, in case anyone else comes online. Though right now we're taking a 20-30 minute break to get ourselves something to eat.)
