Your Favourite Noob Story

Rahj39 · 02-24-2010, 11:37 PM

I started playing in Ignis as a dark elf mage. My 2nd day I read a message on the main chat: "We are being invaded. ALL TO SAMAL". Me being a team player promptly ran from the noob zone, into the safe zone and out into the warzone as a lv5 mage.

It took me so much time to make the journey I ended up arriving at Samal the exact moment the fort door had been broken and the players were mopping up the survivors and taking the flag. So yeap picture this. A lv5 mage standing infront of Samal with a group of lv50s ready to take on the Sytris horde.

Why I ended up leaving Ignis a couple of hours later and going to Sytris is another noob story but I'll save that for another thread.

I think my and many others' favourite story would be when you click on the shiney teleporter in init zone, land in the warzone and the big wtf that comes after that in confusion.

oh, the memory that comes with that:

"Where am I?" after clicking on the shiny thing

*checks map*

"OH MY FRIGGIN-"

but the true horror of this story comes when I did it again, this time in inner realm after some friends said there was a new quest at the other end >.> such nice friends...

When I first started regnum (around beta time - shortly after), I went to fight near Meni with a group of people. First time in the warzone and I knew NOTHING. I saw a "red" and attacked him...but it was that weaponsmith that sits on the hill outside of meni - at any rate - he kicked my ass.

I didn't come back out until I was almost 50

Shining-Scias proclaims himself the Worst Conjurer Ever. This post may wrest that honor from his grasp, or at least estabish myself as the Worst Conjurer in Alsius/Horus. See if you agree:

== Introduction ==

I was probably level 35 or 36 when this happened, still pretty noobish, and only recently having soloed the Fire Pendant Holder was feeling pretty full of myself. I was near Hopstad, slapping around daggerfangs with Rocky (my rock golem - why can't we name summons? hunters get to name pets!) when a message shows up on realm chat. Somebody needed help with the Fire Pendant Holder!

Cool - I'm nearby, FPH is no match for the likes of me, and I'm ever so helpful! omw.

== Meet Dude ==

So I get near the fire altar and here's this dude... (I'm calling him Dude, not because that's his name, but because I don't remember his name, and even if I did, he might be desperately trying to forget this ever happened. Anyway, there are people in-realm with 'Dude' in their names - 'Dude with a stick' and 'Mr. Dude' come to mind, but it was neither of them. Just to make that clear.)

He was a marks, I think, may have been a hunter, but I don't remember a pet. Anyway...

We switch to General, to avoid forcing the entire realm tune in on our little adventure. I'm kinda modest that way.

Me: "HiImGythaAndImAConjAndFPHWontBeAProblemIllKeepYou HealedAndGiveYouManaYouJustFightHimIfYouNeedRocky( ThatsMyRockTrollWhyCantWeNameSummonsHuntersGetToNa mePets)AnywayIfYouNeedRockyToHelpLetMeKnowOtherwis eIllJustSupportItMightTakeAWhileNoProblemWellGetTh isDone"

At this point my left lung collapses so the Dude manages to get a word in edgewise:

Dude: "Yeah, uh, swell, the thing is, he's stuck."

I haven't seen FPH up to this point, so I look around. And around some more. Finally, up. There he is, half-way up the mountain, bashing his head on the mountainside. Wham! Wham! Wham!

Dude: "I've been trying to target him."

He tries some more, (Wham!) I try with my staff (yeah, I'll out-reach a marksman, like I said, still noobish), (Wham! Wham!) I tried sending Rocky up there, we tried going up a less-steep spot and shinnying sideways toward him.

Nothing worked.

(Wham! Wham! Wham!)

Finally, I came up with The Cunning Plan.

Me: "Okay, let's try this. I'll go up to the top of the mountain, and start sliding down. When I see FPH, I'll click on him to target him, and get a shot off. Then, he'll chase me down the mountain, and we can fight him."

Dude: "Okay, it's worth a try."

== Pride and Precipice ==

What A Smart Conj Would Do: A smart conj would take a reading of the coordinates below the FPH, to make sure they knew exactly where to start their slide down. At least, that's what I assume a smart conj would do, sadly, there were none available for this venture.

What I Did: So I run back toward Hop to find a passable slope up the mountain range, then up into the peaks, and find the one that I'm pretty darn sure has an FPH with a headache about halfway down.

Me: "Okay, Dude, I'm starting down!"

No response. Guess he's speechless in awe of my brilliance...

Me: "LEEROY JEEEENKIIIIIINS!!!"

I start barreling down the mountainside, Rocky avalanching along beside me. A few seconds later I notice what's not below me. The FPH. The Fire Altar. Spiders.

Dude.

And then I notice what IS below me.

The sea.

== Between a Rock and a Wet Place ==

So here I am, on a steep slope, no ledges or paths in sight, just steepness to the left of me, steepness to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with...nobody.

Me: "Dude. I kinda went down the wrong mountain, I think. I'll try to get back there, but there's no path."

Me: "Dude?"

So I try to walk to the side.

Step...slip...step...slip...

A clue briefly flutters into my pea-sized brain. I'm gonna die. Oh, man, I couldn't help with the FPH, I'm stuck on a mountain, and Dude won't even talk to me anymore. I must be the worst conj that ever lived.

Me: "Dude, I'm slipping into the ocean, I think I'm going to drown."

No response.

Well, FINE! I TRY to help, get myself KILLED trying to help, and HE can't even be bothered to even say "Too bad. Thanks for trying"?! I hope FPH comes down and takes out his migraine on YOU, pal!

Me: "Hello? Anybody?"

Step...slip...splash.

O2: [=====]

Dammit.

O2: [===]

I'm dying and nobody cares. Nobody will even talk to me.

O2: []

== Awakenings ==

I rez at Hop save, and start scurrying back to the Fire Altar. When I get there, Dude is gone. Only the FPH remains, still maintaing his attack on the solid rock of the mountain. Trying to gain access to... what? A diamond the size of an ostrich egg? A long-lost lover, trapped in the mountain by an evil sorceror? An aspirin?

I notice that nobody's said anything in chat for a long time. Not to anybody. Not a word.

Crap! I'm still on General! There's no way Dude could have heard anything I've said since I headed up the mountain. He probably thought I abandoned HIM!

I added him to my friends list, and he wasn't online. Maybe he rage-quit, cursing what a big jerk I was. Maybe he started leveling a character in Ignis, where he heard they have conjs that don't promise to help then run away never to be seen again. Maybe he died of old age, waiting for me.

I hope he came back and got the FPH one day.

Anyway, that's my story. All of it is true, except for the parts that didn't happen that way.

So, Scias, it's on. Do you have a tale that can beat that? Or are you willing to admit that I, not you, deserve the title Worst Conjurer Ever?

What say you?
