Training with NO regard for others...

[overpower]

Enjoy :):

Someone trains me in Upper Guk ZL (common, happens, np), calls no train (uncommon but still happens), but check out his epic response:.

In conclusion, if someone trains you, its on you to stay alive, if someone trains you and doesn't call a train, still you're the gnoll pup that wasn't paying attention, if someone trains you, doesn't call a train and then feels justified... priceless.

Btw, nice name "Frok Off", very fitting, I'm sure GMs will love you as much as the community that deals you :)


Here's the entire interaction just to be fair to them:

https://i.imgur.com/nQjDNLg.png

So what have we learned today kids? Well, we can be exchanging a conversation with 1 person, and another person on the sidelines feels attacked, how? You may speculate, I'll leave it up to you :)

[fastboy21]

Whining about a train is a bitch move. Dude clearly doesn't give a flying fuck you died...what are you gonna do? cry until he cares?

or, post to RNF...you'll teach him!

[overpower]

You're right, I should do nothing, that will teach him even more!

:)

[overpower]

Love the first response though, the bitch move is not training and feeling justified, its the reaction to someone training and feeling justified for it. Epic response.

[Cecily]

There's nothing wrong with adding spontaneous content to a fellow player's Everquest experience.

[Jimjam]

Upper Guk!
Frok “Yes!”
Coming again
To train the xp loving zone line!

[Woke Locc]

You're right, I should do nothing, that will teach him even more!

Appears to be two boxing, report Prolapse name for great justice

[kjs86z]

Consider blue. If this happened there they would have apologized and promptly logged over to their pre-parked clicky rez cleric.

[overpower]

lol no I don't want them to actually get in trouble by GMs.

It's a minor thing that happens all the time, but to have the balls (or lack of respect) to complain to me for calling him out is epic, and I thought it was worth of my 10 minutes of putting together the images and sharing with the community of R&F :)

Cheers R&F

Don't go afk when you are sitting on the railroad tracks. Did you learn?

[overpower]

Lol, is this the legendary "Frok" in flesh? You seem super defensive to not be.

Also you are making assumptions and you know what that means.

I wasn't afk, and I didn't die, you missed the entire point of this thread :cool:.

[overpower]

Amazing, the same person that has a seemingly Templar Knight as their profile picture, is the same person ignoring a wrongdoing ( I mean, in the general sense ) of on person to give shit to the other person for letting it happen to them (at least you're assuming that).

That's like:
A pedestrian got hit by a car while they had the right away to cross the street, and you blame the pedestrian.
Maybe they should have looked harder, maybe they shouldn't be walking, maybe they shouldn't be a pedestrian, maybe they should roll around in a tank so if someone runs into them, they are pummeled by the tank.

This thread is getting more epic with each of your replies, I thank you sir :D

[fastboy21]

It is a northern paladin...that you don't know that only confirms things.

[fastboy21]

I wasn't afk, and I didn't die, you missed the entire point of this thread :cool:.

/hotb train /shout Train! Clear the tracks! TRAIN!

YOU MONGRELS LEARN TO PLAY NICE!

[overpower]

Maybe you missed it.

lol, no man, I made the thread, YOU missed it.

Literally everyone else on the thread gets it, regardless if they troll or not (as expected, it's R&F). Except after this reply, which begs for people to say they don't get it, but it's like a double negative, you know? lol

:cool:

[Ripqozko]

Sorry you don't got warder loot

[fastboy21]

You posted a RnF over a train in guk...that you survived.

I don't think you have any idea what you were doing when you posted it...same with each reply.

[overpower]

I don't think

I completely agree with you sir :D

[fastboy21]

I completely agree with you sir

Good to know you are learning something out of all your hardship today.

[cd288]

I’ll call out trains where I can but if something happens out of nowhere and I don’t have time to get a warning off and typing a warning will cause me to die, sorry but I’m not killing myself to type out a train warning.

Especially not if you’re right by the ZL and just have to take a couple steps to safety once the train arrives

[cd288]

On the one hand, making a train button that you can just click is pretty easy. On the other hand, complaining about not getting a train warning when you didn't even die is over the top babyism. this shall be decided by the high courts of the online realm of NORRATH

[YendorLootmonkey]

On the one hand, making a train button that you can just click is pretty easy.

Never trust a puller that has a pre-made "TRAIN" macro button. The elite pullers are the ones that train so rarely they are genuinely surprised when it happens and have to type all that shit out manually.

On the 3rd hand, the difference between life and death with a train like that can be 3 seconds of looking away, happens to the best of us.

The train is not the problem, that happens all the time, not calling the train is not even it, the response of them being justified for the train and the fact that I was in the wrong for asking them to shout next time is the "problem".

But then again we are in R&F so you know... lol

[Danth]

Only trains in high-level zones I've seen on p99-blue in the past year+ were deliberate trains caused by Enchanters or (more frequently) Bards who couldn't tolerate the notion of sharing anything in "their" zone. I regard such behavior as distinct from the more generic dungeon trains that occur when a group overpulls more than they can handle and has to beeline for the exit. The latter sort of train is effectively part of the game.

[Toothed]

WTB a real train rnf post I can't even taste these watered down gypsy tears...

[overpower]

Idk, I felt like the first post was pretty good overall :)

[Toothed]

I still don't see why you made this post...You got trained in upper guk, maybe next time note the pile of bodies on the ground and the signs on the wall that say train x-ing.

Imagine writing lengthy comments like this about having to walk a couple feet to the ZL

[RecondoJoe]

In Mistmoore I’ve been trained by other people, only to reach the zone line and get cursed out on the other side like somehow surviving the train someone else pulled makes me the antagonist. I have so many key binds that having a train macro set up isn’t really realistic, especially when I’m not pulling any mobs and not really anticipating being trained by other players.

There’s some places where you actually expect to get trained to. Hanging out at a zoneline is almost a guaranteed way to get trained. For instance, camping main room in Unrest is almost a guaranteed way to get trained. Big difference between someone pulling a train way out of the way to your camp and pulling one to the zoneline.

[RecondoJoe]

not calling the train is not even it, the response of them being justified for the train lol

People generally respond with hostility when approached with hostility. I distinctly have a memory of seeing someone else’s train kill an entire pond group in Mistmoore and since I was a Cleric I fully planned on rezzing them. When I zoned out on the other side waited a naked Druid saying thanks for the train, I lost my level etc. Suddenly I could care less about rezzing this guy.

Feel like this would be even worse than trying to type train since 99% of us use mouse-look and I can’t even find my cursor half the time, hehe.

I wasn't afk, and I didn't die

Totally worth making a thread about, amirite

Of course I am an asshole. I'm only asshole on the RnF forums though. Stop acting like your shit doesn't stink like everyone else.

[LazyHydras]

I really don't know what you're complaining about. In a dense, narrow, winding zone like LGuk, it can be very easily to get into trouble and have to strafe run right for the exit. It's honestly on you that you took his response as flippant when he was just giving you the straight dope: If he stopped to type, he'd probably have died.

Is it unfortunate that you got trained? Yes. Would I have done the same thing Frok did? Yes. Would I do it again to save myself? Yes.

I don't believe I ever complained about the train, or even not calling it (at least not on this thread). I spent time on the Screenshots for comic relief, I mean come on - I used a SC of superman lasering...

The only concern I raised was:
"...if someone trains you, doesn't call a train and then feels justified... priceless."

Hey I'm not blaming anyone for not being able to understand that, and I'm not above anyone here, we all have different strengths and weaknesses, or just simply don't care to read the entire post, except for Northern Paladin Knight of Truth fastboy21, he is above us all -- obviously :D hahaha

But its even more fun when you read responses that have nothing to do with the post in the first place, like:

[DMN]

Wait till they train you only when they do have regard for you. Then you have reached peak p99.

[gundumbwing]

Only thing I know is there are very few times I've ran a unfortunate train through LGuk and didn't have the time to press autorun and type /shout train at the proper locations.

Sounds like a lotta people here have fat slow fingers and need to bust out Mavis Beacon to git gud.

So I was crying about this woman 2 years older than me who lost all her hair and then this made me bust out laughing. I'm in the middle of a very weird mood right now.

[Trexller]

Some folks make a hot key to call their trains. Having said that,

If a player has to train mobs to the zone, things went to shit obviously. Most folks generally do not wish for other players to die, they are usually just in fear of their hours long CR. If you've ever been in a crisis situation RL, drop that down to 10% of that anxiety level and apply it to the EQ player who is about to die. Fight or Flight instincts are very powerful.

Now how many of you have ran a train of mobs to a zone line? The answer is every single one of you. If you're the type that has got into a bad situation, then stood and died like a man, because you knew zoning would kill others, lets hear that story, In a New Thread called: I stood and died so others can live. raids do not count.

You may not have any intention of training other players but guess what? At least a few times, You Did, even the OP. You just don't know it because alot of players don't piss and flame about it. Or, they thought it was a bad pull, or agro through walls etc, Especially In Guk.

So, now that you know you are pissed off for the wrong reasons, I implore you to understand and internalize the following: A frantic player running for his life is not a Malicious Act. If those mobs then agro you on their way back, Sorry About Your Luck. If you keep logging onto everquest or any game like it, its gonna happen again. You are warned.

If a player trains you with any sort of Intention to kill you, Well then I hope that player dies in a place like the maze tunnels of Dragon Necropolis.

It's honestly hard to believe that nothing more interesting than this has happened since you almost died at the uguk line for you RnF about.

So I was crying about this woman 2 years older than me who lost all her hair and then this made me bust out laughing. I'm in the middle of a very weird mood right now.

Bodies are strange things. I’m in my mid 30s and can't grow a full beard. Gives me a real sense of gender dysphoria, like I’m a boy, not a man, right? My wife stresses cos my hair is thinning and she thinks it will diminish my confidence, but oddly the opposite is true. I feel like my receding hairline is an expression of my masculinity.

I think last summer was my peak. I was able to grow a lush moustache and a respectable crop of hair. Couples with chinos, a salmon shirt and green sweater I was Larping Ned Flanders with pride.

This year i’m having decent luck with some more growth on the chin. The thinning of the hair, coupled with no barber visit since March, is looking pretty disheveled. I think for autumn i’ll get out the green t shirts and brown chords for a Shaggy larp. Will be great for halloween. I even have access to a large black and brown dog.

Depends on what you eat, but yeah, it sure does too

The ones people should bitch about are the dick heads that are 50-60 and still act like any morron in Crushbone, not about the ones that have to be on the receiving end of a train

Typing "train in /ooc while running is not rocket science. Having a macro to do so takes a a couple seconds to use. Or man up, die somewhere without training people, and ask for a rez later

If I train someone, I always come back to

1 apologize
2 be sure everyone's ok
3 help/ buff if I can

Just common courtesy

Acknowledging when you eff up does not reduce the size of your ginormous e-penis... ymmv

except for the part where you get them killed and then don't get their exp back.

You're just as bad as the guy in OP.

Buncha noobs on green!

A train macro is a sign of weakness and cowardice. Stand and fight!

I don't want to hear any noise about experience. You can always get that back. What you can't get back is your reputation now that everyone knows you're a piss-soaked shrieking coward willing to trade your one miserable life for many others.

No reason to respond, and no reason for your or Frok to say sorry or anything like that (not that he would), the post was for comic relief (first of all it's in R&F, but I thought it was funny), and there are no issues with training, we all do it, not even about not calling it, we all have done it. The only issue i raised was Frok feeling justified that I was wrong to call him out. Cancerous attitude and not exactly 'playing nice'.

Now, at least 50% of the replies are from people that frequent on Rants & Flames simply to find reason to troll so they feel better about themselves, so their responses are not even worth reading. It's obvious who they are, just check a couple of other threads and you'll see them trolling away.

Half of the other half didn't even read the entire thread, they read what they want, and complain towards whoever they feel makes sense in their mind with half the information.

That said, since you posted here, I wanted you to be clear that this was not anything remotely related to a ban-able offense (since the train was not intentional), and no fraps were running even if it was.

It was just Frok's justification that I was wrong to call him out - that is not exactly 'playing nice'. He was being inconsiderate and thats a shit attitude to have on a server where your name becomes known, there are no instances on p99 to hide behind servers like on WoW. We all coexist on the same server. The more people act like that, the worse off the entire server will be.

That said, again, this is R&F. Now... lets see how many people will again complain about trains being part of the game, and zone outs are not safe, and whatever else we can bring up that is unrelated to the thread.
