Levelathon!
In shadowbane at the moment I'm trying to reach Rank 2 (I'm level 19 and I need to reach level 20) so I've been killing trolls.. Seems simple enough doesn't it? They're not especially big and I've taken on multiple Rank 2 mobs before. Wrongo! The devastating combination of truly immense Server Lag and group ineptitude has led to complete failure in this regard and about 6 deaths that should not have been.
Basically it went like this. My gargoyle went in, started smacking about one forest troll, then ALL his troll-buddies come and start beating up on the gargoyle.
I've been doing like 70% of the damage and then when my summoned gargoyle dies guess who gets aggroed by ALL the beasties and then my group can't even coordinate their attacks so as to pick off the buggers one by one, hitting the weakest first.. Each one that's alive, no matter how little health its on, is another 68 damage per swing or so on my Gargoyle which I can't fully heal!
Argh!
So the same thing happens, the Gargoyle dies, we all run and get owned.. I mean I was taking Rank 2 mobs with a group the same size before and I was 5 levels lower. It all comes down to tactics and frankly they don't appear to have enough of them...
Grr :)
Anyhow better luck today I hope..
And this is the blue bedroom featuring the University student in a shirt and boxers making his bed
Doh!
My grandmother told me that people would be coming to look at the flat today, at 3pm. Wrongo.. Apparently I recieved (of course I wasn't actually awake to answer it) a call which told me that people would be coming over to look at the flat at about 10:30am. I was asleep for it. What woke me up was the flipping doorbell!! Arrgh! So anyhow the guy asks if anybody's in and I say "Yeah!" and he says ok I'll do that room last then, which I thank him for. About 30 seconds later in they come and I am seen in boxers and a shirt which I thankfully had the presence of mind to put on making my bed.. He decided to save the sittingroom till last arrrrrgh!
Of course the other alternative is that another person will be here at about 3pm but I'm at least dressed properly this time :D
Later
