A word of appreciation

Torpor · #1 08-29-2020, 05:01 AM

Hello everyone,

I'd like to take a moment to thank Calamitous Intent and specifically Cerate (50 enchanter) and Hoosure (50 druid) for their generosity and willingness to help others in need.

I've been trying to camp the fierce impaler at Kedge entrance for the Darksea Harpoon on and off with no luck. Tonight he finally spawned but I got caught off guard with some bad timing on repops and while I've managed to land slow and envenomed bolt on him, I had to zone due to low health, after rooting him to hold him by the entrance while the adds would reset.

As I swam just outside the instance recovering some hp/mana I noticed folks zoning in before I could say anything or warn them. I zoned back in to find Cerate and Hoosure at Kedge entrance, the fierce impaler was still there in the same spot, my e bolt had worn him down some but he had regenerated back some health as well and was very pissed off. Cerate was holding him with mezz while Hoosure backed him up with root and heals. I was still low from the previous encounter and while dismayed had no choice but to admit to the newcomers that he's open game. Cerate and Hoosure proceeded to take him down as I stood by the sideline, only offering my assistance to slow him to ensure he won't tear through his new adversaries.

I congratulated Cerate and Hoosure on whichever loot dropped for them, and much to my shock, Cerate swam up and after inspecting me, offered the Darksea Harpoon to me, completely free of charge. I was stunned with disbelieve and couldn't hit the trade button for couple of minutes. I had to ask him if he was being serious. He was. I was overwhelmed by his and Hoosure's generosity. They had taken down the rare named mob fair and square and had every right to claim the loot, but they were kind enough to GIVE the prized drop to me w/o a second thought. I offered my current weapon - a gloomwater harpoon to Cerate as a small token of my appreciation in return for his kindness, but he declined, citing no need for the weapon.

This was a special moment for me as the recipient of such a generous gift. The harpoon is by no means a cheap item as some of you may know, but its worth notwithstanding the generosity displayed here was definitely worth mentioning, and it made me very happy to say the least. Thank you Cerate, Hoosure and Calamitous Intent (your action belies your guild name as the act of giving was anything but calamitous). I will wield this gift with pride and when the time comes to replace it I will happily seek you out to return it so you may do as you please since it was by right yours to begin with. Thank you for reminding me, and anyone else who may be reading this, one of the best reasons why we play this game.

I'm happy to hear about your positive experience with our guild members, and I'm jealous of your harpoon! Congrats!

It's great how simple, kind actions like this can have such a positive impact on other players. Glad you got your spear and kudos for giving props to the other players. It's always nice to be reminded that there are players who don't take the pixels so seriously and genuinely just want to make the game fun for everyone.

Unlike the guy I ran into last night who told me he'd rather let a mask of deception rot then let my lowbie rogue loot without paying him loot rights. Lol [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Cerate is a piece of trash. This must be some PR stunt.

In case anyone was wondering why I was posting on a brand new account created just moments after the encounter. Well the reasons were quite silly:

1: I had forgotten my password since recently came back to P99 green after a 6 month hiatus.
2. I wasn’t thinking at the time and had a really silly forum username that also had my RL name in it.
3: Torpor just sounds much cooler.

I'm going to need details. We need to get all post about CI sent to RnF. Their guild name begs if it!

The cynical side of me says it’s a bit interesting that CI just got trashed yesterday and now there’s a 2020 account with 1 post talking about how great they are lol

Sounds like a nice gesture. Good stuff to those two.

Yeah OP, this shit is fake news. No way that it’s just a coincidence that yesterday they get trashed and a random account has some miracle story about them. I call bullshit

Nothing personal against the folks who were so quick to judge and deem something that took place fabricated. While this forum account is new, my character a 50 shaman didn't just materialize out of thin air. Your personal insult to me and calling me a liar notwithstanding, I'd like to remind you the intention of the post was to give shout out to a kind deed that reflected on the good side of people and one of the reasons why we pour time into this game over countless other options.

Please take your rants and flames to where it belongs. Thank you.
