. . . Who also so happens to be the same guy who always wipes the group because he’s more into doing the highest DPS than actually following fight mechanics.
So glad that my guild leader is so nice, he doesn’t give away free golds tho, just never gets angry when someone causes a wipe, he just laughs it off and tell you very carefully how to do it so next time there won’t be any wipes
I am the "awkward type" too, but I dont consider that to be awkward. I just dont like talking online, or taking it too seriously, so I usually tend to respond with small words, or emotes.
Ramon Gonzalez I like nice guild leaders. It only gets really creepy when you know they are being nice to recruit you and go out of their way. Then it's like, "you are coming on too strong bro". But my first guild leader was just an all round awesome guy had to meet him irl and he was legit just nice af
No matter the game, nice GMs are a godsend. Every now and then I meet a GM or even an entire guild where I often get the feeling that I don't deserve the nice treatment. My personality ends up contrasting the atmosphere. People like you rock, I just happen to strive for the same outcome with much more aggressive, provocative and cruel actions. Because for every safe haven I would want to protect, there's 10 pricks and player trap guilds which I just want to see burn. Instead of the positive actions, I have relied on backstabbing and sometimes even player killing. And besides... they deserve to be dethroned and returned back to the group of losers for their sins. When they don't play fair, neither do I.
I'm the "self conscious healer that always thinks they're doing a crappy job when objectively they are doing fine" and the "can we slow down so I have time to pick up my loot"
The vanilla WoW nostalgia guy. He got into alpha and beta through a friend, and remembers everything that ever happened since launch. He's been essentially playing non-stop since the game was a pre-thought, and will remind you every chance he gets that he remembers something from 2004 and 2005 that only other WoW nostalgia guys can understand. These types usually band together to brag against someone who only started playing during Burning Crusade.
Feed The Cory far too accurate. I've been playing since BC, we were chatting about our favourite parts of BC in guild chat, a guildie commented on how removing ammo was a good move, I agreed. Vanilla Dude INSTANTLY butts in and tells us how wrong we are, that WoW's so much worse now, that dungeons/mobs/levelling are way too easy now, that (bit odd this one) physics doesn't account for ammo appearing out of nowhere, and went on a rant about the various game/mechanics changes he didn't like... all from one comment. I pointed out that he's a Mage and physics also doesn't account for Polymorph. Some people just like to get riled up over nothing I guess.
well some people actually WERE playing all along... myself included... and if only another nostalgia guy can take my point about like blood plague or arcane crystal farm wars... then it that doesnt mean we're bragging... it means we're reliving some good memories that were so much more fun than the new , less exciting but far more overtuned content that WOW offers today... its a really good moment when you find another classic enthusiast soul to talk about classic wow with... and you dont get it cuz you are not one of us...
I am the LFR one. Due to my job, can't go on guild raids regularly, but it's enough for me, I never stopped playing for lack of content, only becouse I just didn't have time for it. But yeah, I know I miss a lot of stuff becouse of this, but have been playing oin and off since Lich King so it's good enough for me.
I used to sound like a little boy so I was able to get away with it. Not that it mattered. I wasn't the "hot" sounding female that everyone wanted to pixel-bang lol.
it's not like I'm a female or anything... I don't use my thot powers to get money fame and gold no not at all... and of course I'm good at making jokes whenever I talk hehe xd roar meow
I'm sort of a Pug. I don't have a guild and I basically join raid groups as a pick-up. I've got a decent gear for NM (894 ilvl) and I've been told that I do well on strats and on DPS. The real difference is that I usually immerse myself in the raid as in, I get some badass music on and I enjoy it like it was a movie or something. It's fun.
I guess I'm the pug. I'm not in a guild, I have no desire to communicate with anyone in the raid group and my gear is only average. Good enough to do the raid, not good enough to stand out in any way. I usually just join a raid, do my thing for an hour or two and then leave, without so much as a word. Raid could have gone extremely well or pisspoor. I could have won 2 shiny new epics or fuck all and my reaction will still be the same. I'm just kind of there for the duration of the raid and the second it's over, I'm gone.
My current one is mainly a couples guild with all but 3 people who are married couples. (2 of those are a lesbian couple). It's a nice, solid group of older players with no personal drama affecting the guild. No one has a problem with being benched on rotation to let other people play. No loot, mog or pet whores - everyone passes them around. It's great!
I don't fall into any of these ones. I think I'd be the "Kinda bad player, but people bring him along because they like him & when he fucks up it's typically in a funny way" guy.
depend on type of guild you are in.... if its a progression guild i doubt people actually like you when you keep messing up unless they are your friends. Other than that most of all the other type of guilds should be fine with it.......
lol He goes into cardiact arrest, doctors bring the defib and he's like "I ain't got time for this shit, I'm doing Mythic Augur" and his heart just restarts out of sheer willpower.
gcircle more like he dies, and his last will is to take a laptop that's fully charged to the grave, and wakes up during raid hours to finish mythic Gul'dan. Ain't nobody got time to die!
you forgot the backbone of every raid, the stoners and drunks, at least back in the day in a 25 man group you had like 10 that always seemed to be drunk/stoned in every raid.
I'm technically an LFR raider, but only because I'm limited on tech. I love being a part of every guild I'm in, and I enjoy making new friends in it. I wish I could be part of a raid team, and strive for the day I get a better computer to do so
Always apologizes, even when they do something right. Leaves the raid before they think they’re gonna get kicked, but will apologize for leaving and asking to take part in the next raid... yep, I know that guy... He’s Me!
Good one. The "LFR-Raider" is exactly how i picture those guys commenting under Legion videos how vanilla was the peak of difficulty and that the game caters only to casuals now lmao.
I dont hate on players than run only LFR. if you dont have the time or wish to commit its your choice. i was purely talking about the players using it as argument on how the game changed and how they "cleared the entire endgame" by queing up LFR.
LFR and people who don't like how wow currently does things is not one in the same. Back than in Vanilla there was no LFR. You HAD to be in a guild or pug it.
It is for me. Because thats all i hear from this "anti-retail" side of view. WoW is too casual, WoW doesnt offer any challenge, spamming tradechat "LFG XY was so much better and social" than a constructive LFG tool, yadda yadda. I mean "back in vanilla you had to be in a guild or pugg it"? so exactly what you have to do for normal and heroic now? And atleast (because lets face reality, mythic is done in guilds, not being pugged) being on the same realm if you choose to commit to mythic raids? There are several Topics i wouldnt mind to discuss, but "difficulty" of raids, dungeons ect are none of them. The mechanically most challenging Vanilla Bosses dont even come close to some Trashmobs in terms of complexity.
+devin campbell I remember Cthun was considered to be impossible and only got killed after several nerfs. that wasnt a mechanical issue or lack of skill on playerside, but rather heavy overtuning and not testing bosses. with the given gear it was mathematically impossible to kill the tentacles before they wiped the raid while still damagin Cthun himself. there were several of those incidents like kael thas(oh god the bugs like neverending-not resetable dialoge), vashir having several gamebraking bugs for months, magtheridon being overtuned again, ect. or archimonde where you could only attune 4! of your raid members after each Vashj kill. that was heavy gating, not the 1 quest a week for the broken shore we have now that dont really matter. Most "first kills" of bosses that took that long had a reason. Like onyxia or molten core in general was counted from lvl 1 start, people had to reach max level, get gear, attune and find enough people that achieved the same.
The "Female" One is so fucking true ! I mean the one in my Guild Geez, You wouldn't believe it, 2 weeks later after joining the Guild she became the Guild leader's assistant/officer, and is now probably dating with the Guild Leader now. Once I literally got kicked out of the Raid Group in guild because she logged in and wanted to Tank, and so they choose to replace me......., But the thing that got me Crazy about this is how they wiped 6 times in a row when they reached the next boss, and had to call the Raid off because she didn't know the tact but nobody had the fuckin balls to tell her to go look up the tactic
117blingbling Probably the best thing to do is leave toxic environments like that one, and find a guild that doesn't have a leader who isn't that weak-willed, the "elite of the elite", or just an asshole in general. Let them crash and burn with anyone sensible leaving.
I think I might be the silent perfectionist =/ made me laugh hard being called an npc robot...cos it's a little accurate. I do at least respond to my guild in text!
There's one type of raider that hoy missed. The lfr i'm only in It for the story type that actually does not like the game at all, but there ain't no Warcraft IV so he has to play WoW. By the way that's me
Oh heck ya. I love the story of the Warcraft universe. LFR lets me at least see the story that unfolds in the raid with out dealing with elite raiders and the stress of a "Real Raid". There are plenty of other things to do in Warfcraft other than pvp and raid. Those are the things I like to do.
This is so good xD I have only ever been a part of a single raiding guild, and we had: A super nice leader who always asked me how I was doing. A girl who literally everyone flirted with awkwardly in the voice chat, and who everyone agreed with no matter what. A super awkward guy who just coughed into the mic now and then. (Gotta say, I was like that too at first xP ) A guy who instantly left after first yelling at us when we wiped once.
My Thoughts The Awkward Guy: I rarely get them. The Overly-Nice Guild Leader: Who is that? The Female: Only One? There are (way) more than that. My mom even plays WoW. And this type of woman is nothing like my mom. The Elite (Four) of the Elite: I can see why the Elite of the Elite can be amazing. The "One Wipe and I'm out" guy: I am on his side if I meet one. The Pug: There are tons of those out there. The LFR Raider: Count me in because I am him. The Silent Perfectionist: I wish I was him, but I have gear that sucks. The Super Awesome Bad***: I wish, and thanks for the tip. That's a long name, but I will call him "The Liar": Who is this guy?
he is not referring to females. he is referring to THE "FEMALE" ... And probably he forget to mention that she will hunt other females, that could stand in her light down. Alpha wolf like behavior and stuff
Hahahah I wish you included the "link deeps" guy. The guy who asks for meters ever few minutes, after a big trash pull cause he wants to "see if he needs to adjust for his AoE dps" and during down time on a boss to "see if he is performing as well as he normally does by this checkpoint"... But when you ask why he doesn't have meters installed... He says either it's distracting so he prefers to just ask for a link, or that he forgot to turn it on before raid. Fucking. Classic. Good video!
I don't raid so I don't know if it's accurate but the lfr guy seems way too familiar. Personally I just don't feel like joining a guild or raiding since I don't have enough time and I feel like I'd just slow a group down and wouldn't be really reliable
blizz kinda nailed it with the illidan black temple raid parody. between thr jumping human female character (literally me) and the Johnny awesome had me literally burst out laughing
You missed out on my type. The raider who trolls and fucks around constantly and no one thinks he can be trusted or do well but when it comes to the fight he is a perfectionist.
Ahhh the "LFR Raider." One of the raid leads I ran with for awhile had the BEST nickname for them. Called them "LFR Superstars" in the most delightfully sarcastic tone. Pretty accurate.
I played WoW up to it's 3rd expansion, Wraith Of the Lich king. I wasn't top of the raids mind you but I was usually in the top ten list of dps with the best gear in the game for my class. I had played this game since damn near its humble beginnings and suddenly one day just after my second weekly raid I had a realization: "I'm bored off my ass and I hate this game!" No, I didn't just suddenly decide this either, it had been one of those thoughts/feelings in the dark corner of my mind that I had always buried with a ton of excuses for nearly a year with excuses like"Nah, I'm just not doing enough!" or "I just need to run these raids more!" and much more pathetic excuses. It was then after deleting my character with full epic gear, uninstalling the game, and canceling my sub that I realized one important thing: This game is BUILT from the code up to be as addicting as possible. From the easymode raids(nightmare was the "hardest" when I played), to the leveling which took no time at all as long as you knew the leveling zones, this entire game was built to keep you playing without realizing that you were bored off your ass by continuously throwing the next stupid quest or objective at you even after you thought you were "done" when all it was, was another of the same thing you've been doing for the last 500+ quests but with a different name, NPC, and items to farm/obtain. No, the game isn't dead because Blizzard has figured out the perfect formula to keep players ADDICTED to their game, yes I said ADDICTED. WoW is literally an ADDICTION. Some handle this addiction better than others but most addicts CAN NOT GO FOR MORE THAN A WEEK without playing this game for at least 4 hours. There are COUNTLESS news articles, stories, and even shrinks to confirm this but since it is a VIDEO GAME and not a chemical, Blizzard can not be touched. I managed to escape it and yes I WENT THREW WITHDRAWAL! Countless times I had to fight the urge to reinstall the game and start over again. Not because I had nothing else to do no, because I missed the feeling of empowerment, the feeling of being all powerful, leading players to victory, being the top ten DPS. I'm not bulshitting you, the ADDICTION IS REAL! So next time you log into WoW, seriously ask yourself this: Am I logging in because I'm having fun and enjoying the game? Or am I logging in because I feel the need to play for no real reason despite not really having fun anymore.
deathsia I quit cold turkey after the last expansion. Don't really miss it after 11 years playing. Get used to a guild, then they'd break up then another, same thing.
I now have more hobbies than time. Little gaming, hiking, books, gym, used to show cats, gardening, instruments, etc. Little of everything, master of nothing.🤣 Want to do some fishing and hunting again but want to save to paint house and new floors. Will be a challenge with indoor longhair ex show cats trying to paint. Now I wish I had a basement.
I'm not sure if anyone relay but i raided because it was a fun challenge while also relaxing. The thing tho is that i dont feel like i relax while speaking in voice chat. Been called the best tank, never makes mistakes, no complaines when i finally found highend guild who dident mind me not speaking. Just wanted to get that out there because most people dont seem to Think players can be good without speaking in voie chat. Best regards the guy who just know what to do :))
6:30 we have a few of those in our classic guild. Last week I was giving +dkp for people who fulfilled specific consumable requirements on our rag fight. I told everyone to take a screenshot in case my addon does not show me their consumables and on the list I then said that people who feel like they should be on the list, should send me their screenshot. Got one of them. I just got the Screenshot. Saw everything buffed, put him on the list.
I am the silent perfectionist. I didn't think any of the "types" in this video would apply to me, but that one REALLY does. I'm not gonna say I'm a flawless raider. I typically parse in the 90%+ area on current mythic content. I play DPS, so my input just isn't needed. The reason for the silence (on my part) is that I feel I have nothing to add to whatever is already being said. The raid leader/call-out people genuinely have it under control... usually. And if I'm ever asked something specifically, I just type out my answer real quick. I actually raid with my mic muted pretty much every night. It has reached the point where people do not know what I sound like after raiding with me for months, several nights a week. The only time I've ever had to unmute my mic was when I was the 3rd tank during Blackrock Foundry during WoD. And even then it was very seldom. Keep in mind this is only during raids. Outside of raids I'm willing to talk.
I think there's a missing one: the LFR raider that nicely tries to get the raid to succeed (me in mists after my guild died). These are usually a smart dps or a tank that tries putting up raid markers, explaining strats to people who aren't familiar with the boss, and talking to the other tank to know who should get what adds, etc. Usually while they take the time to discuss strats, they'll be harassed by the impatient LFRs yelling "GOGOGOGOGO", then ninja pull when no one's ready, and say "YOU GUYS SUCK" and leave. : /
I'm the awkward, and silent perfectionist female in raids. However my guild was full of elite of the elite types, and it all got too stressful. So now I'm just a pug that does dps for other guilds and lfr.
I was almost a victim of The Female in WoD. I was a total raid newb, but joined my friends guild as a holy paladin. I almost got kicked from the raid group because The Female, also a healer, didn't think I should be given time to learn. I preserved though, learned how to heal effectively, and also learned that The Female wasn't very good herself.
This brought back memories of guild leading in TBC, always making sure everyone was doing fine, and farming additional gold for pots for a few members who didn't really have the time to raid *and* farm. So I guess I'm feeling a little called out right now lmao.
hey nixxom I'm having trouble with my wow model viewer do think you could help me I looked all over youtube and none of the tutorial helped so I don't know who else to turn to except you so can plz help nixxom. and let me know if you want to go on a gnome adventure with you later nixxom
Might I add, "The guy who gets lost, all the time, no matter how often he's been there". We've all seen him, this guy would get lost in Brill let alone AQ40 or Ulduar. He's geared, he knows his rotations and probably great at fighting but without a leash, he'll take a wrong turn and get lost in a heartbeat. :)
Well, as a past hardcore progress raider i started playing with my RL friends in a casual raid - but instead of bragging around how bad the others actually were (well, they were casuals so what did i expect), i was justtrying to be nice, giving some tips and enjoy the gameplay with my friends. I had more fun playing casually, then trying to get top100 raiding 6-7 times a week for 4-5hours. The only thing i recognized was, that i tried to give it my best, trying to raise my hps/dps more and more to challenge myself.
Back when I played actively, I probably would have fallen somewhere between the awkward guy and LFR guy, partly because I just never was able to get into a guild that worked with my school schedule
I march into the raid to see bosses fall to my feet, not an entire screen of epilepsy, "walk there", "kill this" and ear-piecring sfx. If addon is that important, it would have become an in-game feature already. Oh, hey, it's Bejeweled, yay!
I'm sort of the addon guy, I'm not against them and I've always installed every one i've been asked to. Trouble is I'm as thick as pig shit and I'm too stupid to use them, so they're just sorta there.
i can relate to this. when i first got into a serious raiding guild in wotlk and they found out i wasnt using addons i got kicked right away. my friend then helped me install all the addons needed for raiding, but i couldnt understand how to use them and i didnt improve one bit because of it. i quit playing soon after, and to this day i still have no idea what the addons do.
you missed that "indispensable guy" that will assure the whole raid's success, even if it means the whole raid waiting for him 40 minutes until his HDD cools in the fridge
I am the no add-on person. I literally just learned about them when I joined my guild but I still have none. I recently told my guild my secret. Their pure shocked voices gave me life, especially since I main a disc priest and my guild is starting mythic prog Antorus. Apparently disc is one of the main specs people need add ons for. Oh well 😂😂😂😂
when normal uldir was still a thing, i played with a too nice raid leader which asked almost everyone after 4 hours of raid if we wanted to take a break etc. he had everything we needed and paid a guy's reparation. I should really have added this guy on battle net but i didn't and i still feel bad about it
I was "the nervous to the gills" off tank during 10 man ulduar. I was shaking like a madman because reading and watching strats were one thing but in practice that only meant so much.
trigger warning for the anti-sjw: this is gonna sound feminist. I've watched a lot of your videos andenjoyed them, and I felt like as much a part of the community as anyone. But your point about "the female" really made me feel unwelcome, because it became obvious you're playing with men first and foremost. I've been toying with the thought of joining voice chat, but with your point I think that would be a really bad idea, so maybe it'd be smarter of me to remain "the silent guy" you mentioned in another point. I really hope "the female"-point was sort of a joke. Only room enough for one female in the group? You know what, sure. One declared female and ten secret ones. I bet that what happens is that when the females see how fellow females are drowned (which, really, is just sorta sad for the boys) the second her gender is out, the girls decide to keep their gender a secret. I bet that's how both guys and girls come to think that most girls are attention whores: it's because the only reason anyone would come forward with being female, is to get attention. Hell, I bet a ton of the "the female" are guys, because 99% of the females I know are far fed up with sexual attention and have an easy way to escape it in gaming, while really, a significant part of the male players severely lack sexual attention and acknowledgement. I really feel like I owe it to my sisters to come forward with being a girl in order to let them know that they're not alone, that they're not the only one feeling like it's better to let everyone assume she's a guy. But I don't want to bring politics into my game, my free time, my... dare I say it? Safe place :o I just want a game where it doesn't matter what gender you are. So I'm not gonna log in and spam trade calling out for the secret females. I'll never do that. But I'd love it if you'd just acknowledge that it's a common misconception, instead of adding fuel to the myth. Maybe you could be one of the guys who informs the player base that "this is why we can't have nice things". Then maybe one day it won't be stupid of me to join voice chat.
Good God, going way off there. "Hell, I bet a ton of the 'the female' are guys," damn. With some third part software installed to give them a female voice, right? Shit. Anyway, it's just that the female/male player ratio is pretty low, especially in raiding guild groups and such.
I was the awkward guy, pretty dead on. My chatting was minimal even after years in the same raid group. But I also made damn sure I never messed up and did good consistent dps. More often than not I'd be the last guy standing after a wipe, allowing for mass res. So I guess they just accepted me and I'm thankful for that.
the silent perfectionist. I wonder what he gets up too. Hes top of the dps meters, he always has extra pots and flasks and food and runes etc when someone asks he trades them gives out never asking for anything back never speaking. HE IS A GOD OF THE GUILD
You forgot one which is my type of raiding lol.. The Alt-Tab Raider: This raider will usually die every single time on the very first very very avoidable 1 shot mechanic just so he can Alt-Tab and watch youtube videos while the rest of the raid does all the work once the boss is dead he collects the loot rinse and repeat on the rest of the bosses and if he gets kicked he says oh well que for another pug and the cycle continues. My record in my raid was I think 30k overall damage and was never kicked for some reason and made it to the end of Castle Nath and got 4 upgrades on that single run I was so happy to have worked so hard to earn those beauties I truly earned it!
I'm a heavy introvert personality. I have a hard time forcing myself to talk when I don't have to. If I'm tanking and need to communicate with the other tank, I make a quick /say macro to get the job done. Switch out my mount keybind for it. But there's been some "Oh shit" moments where I have to take someones job because they died or lost their cooldown to something else, and I start talking in voice chat. My guild will always ask "Who's voice is that?" I fall somewhere between Silent Perfectionist and Award Silent guy. I've been playing this game for 10 years, and I know what I'm doing. I tend to die once to a new mechanic. Though, when I see I'm not pulling the DPS I should be I start getting a little depressed and spend all my time between raids trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. It's really discouraging and I get too scared to join raid groups at all. Usually leading me to slowly fall out of the patch.
A lot of times it's not the fact that were awkward some of us just like to sit back listen and learn. Makita proper communication with the team is understanding and developing idea of patterns of each individual person. we stay quiet until we know you once we truly know you we don't shut up
As a female raider in WoW, I can say Literally everything was wrong, at least in my case. Maybe, just MAYBE I’m not playing because my (non existent) boyfriend is leader, or I’m looking for attention. It might just actually be because I like, playing, a, game.
What addons are good for raiding? I haven’t had much time so I’ve been a dirty LFR raider but I’m getting into more stuff when BfA drops. What should I get that’ll help me with mechanics and DPS?
Other raiders: the roleplayer (roleplays during the raid), the joker (jokes around, especially on the killraids, but he is usually also a badass dps-er so you can't kick him), the know-it-better guy (always wants to use a different tactic than the raidleader), the famous guy (played in a world renowned guild or was rank 14 in vanilla),
heres 10 more 10 the " i need healing " guy 9 the 80% afk guy 8 the guy who thinks he knows what he is doing but has no idea 7 the guy who tells everyone about their mistakes 6 the Leeroy Jenkins 5 the mad strategist 4 the guy who attacks at low HP 3 the guy who needs a wock to port him/her ( they are so special ) 2 the insane player who looks like he can solo that without any help 1 - my favourite
I was a pug who was often called on for heroic ICC and FL for my druid heals by a few different guilds every week. Just didn't have time for the commitment to a guild lol
I was the guy who provided commentary/narration in one section of the frozen citadel raid with my guild. It was back in WoTLK, the best WoW days of my life (before I quit), I would provide nonsensical narration while we killed a giant abomination and everyone laughed. After that, Id shut my mouth and focus on killing mobs and bosses.
I'm the "Good player who dies a lot." And my guild never lets me forget it. Like when I fell off the bridge for the first time on heroic krosus "GOD DAMNIT HELLE!" Or when I time my jump perfectly on the fall to Krosus so that way I die.
You forgot the guy who links DPS charts after every pull
russia4lyfe That's the elitist.
Well that also applies to dungeons as well as raids so I dunno if it deserves a special spot on this video.
Or the highest dps that keeps dying. Lol. A little lower and surviving does more than someone that needs to be revived all the time.
That would be me (rogue main)
. . . Who also so happens to be the same guy who always wipes the group because he’s more into doing the highest DPS than actually following fight mechanics.
So glad that my guild leader is so nice, he doesn’t give away free golds tho, just never gets angry when someone causes a wipe, he just laughs it off and tell you very carefully how to do it so next time there won’t be any wipes
53Renz Treasure him!
20 secs into the video and i already know that... i'm the awkward type
Me too
"Hi guys"
*awkward silence*
/nod
I am the "awkward type" too, but I dont consider that to be awkward. I just dont like talking online, or taking it too seriously, so I usually tend to respond with small words, or emotes.
Same goes for me, I don't like talking in raids either 😊
You missed the smiley face at the end of the guild master's whisper!!! =)
Or the XD guy. Always end any sentence with a XD
José Pablo Hernández Leyton Gotta have one of those guys XD
EGGZ DE
sup xD
Life is crazy xD
I'm the nice guild leader guy. Haha! I don't whisper everyone though. I say all my creepy messages in guild chat.
Ramon Gonzalez thank you for being nice
Ramon Gonzalez I like nice guild leaders. It only gets really creepy when you know they are being nice to recruit you and go out of their way. Then it's like, "you are coming on too strong bro". But my first guild leader was just an all round awesome guy had to meet him irl and he was legit just nice af
Ramon Gonzalez What server are you on?

EloquentTroll How dare you call me out-
The tier 3 guy that always reminds you how hard was nax 40 in vanilla
"B-black market auction house? W-what's that?"
he's true though
hes true? you mean hes right
+NonsensicalVids no. he's true.
Forget Naxx bro, it was all bout dem Twin Emps!
The vanilla WoW nostalgia guy. He got into alpha and beta through a friend, and remembers everything that ever happened since launch. He's been essentially playing non-stop since the game was a pre-thought, and will remind you every chance he gets that he remembers something from 2004 and 2005 that only other WoW nostalgia guys can understand.

Feed The Cory far too accurate. I've been playing since BC, we were chatting about our favourite parts of BC in guild chat, a guildie commented on how removing ammo was a good move, I agreed. Vanilla Dude INSTANTLY butts in and tells us how wrong we are, that WoW's so much worse now, that dungeons/mobs/levelling are way too easy now, that (bit odd this one) physics doesn't account for ammo appearing out of nowhere, and went on a rant about the various game/mechanics changes he didn't like... all from one comment.
I pointed out that he's a Mage and physics also doesn't account for Polymorph. Some people just like to get riled up over nothing I guess.
I am this in Blade and Soul.
Xys Hunt they are out there, i recommend staying away
I'm not one of those guys, but I often get mad that I started a few months too late for the awesome wolf statue! ARG!
well some people actually WERE playing all along... myself included... and if only another nostalgia guy can take my point about like blood plague or arcane crystal farm wars... then it that doesnt mean we're bragging... it means we're reliving some good memories that were so much more fun than the new , less exciting but far more overtuned content that WOW offers today... its a really good moment when you find another classic enthusiast soul to talk about classic wow with... and you dont get it cuz you are not one of us...
I am the LFR one. Due to my job, can't go on guild raids regularly, but it's enough for me, I never stopped playing for lack of content, only becouse I just didn't have time for it. But yeah, I know I miss a lot of stuff becouse of this, but have been playing oin and off since Lich King so it's good enough for me.
what about the raiders who die and blame it on lag.
Oh... “That Guy”.
As of today I'm officially back from my mini vacation and I'm starting on some new projects. A new "How to" is coming soon... Ish! :)
How do you know Polyxenus?
Oh yeah, entertain me Daddy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This is Amette here and I love Poly like daddy yes he is my tentacle pope
Nixxiom what about redoing the new Anduin cinematic
a how to healer then :D???!!!!!
I'm a female, but never *The Female*
but holy hell does that describe so many females I've met in other mmos...
I used to sound like a little boy so I was able to get away with it.
Not that it mattered. I wasn't the "hot" sounding female that everyone wanted to pixel-bang lol.
Sounds like yer an elite of the elite.
@@dresamae I am not gonna call u a liar and assume that u are lying but, let's be honest.
THE FEMALE, would've written the same thing and u know it!
it's not like I'm a female or anything... I don't use my thot powers to get money fame and gold no not at all... and of course I'm good at making jokes whenever I talk hehe xd roar meow
Your the I'm not like other girls female type
I'm sort of a Pug.
I don't have a guild and I basically join raid groups as a pick-up. I've got a decent gear for NM (894 ilvl) and I've been told that I do well on strats and on DPS.
The real difference is that I usually immerse myself in the raid as in, I get some badass music on and I enjoy it like it was a movie or something.
It's fun.
Same, plus I don't like running discord or other stuff outside of WoW. If they wanna chat in WoW I'm game but that's rare now a days.
I guess I'm the pug. I'm not in a guild, I have no desire to communicate with anyone in the raid group and my gear is only average. Good enough to do the raid, not good enough to stand out in any way. I usually just join a raid, do my thing for an hour or two and then leave, without so much as a word. Raid could have gone extremely well or pisspoor. I could have won 2 shiny new epics or fuck all and my reaction will still be the same. I'm just kind of there for the duration of the raid and the second it's over, I'm gone.
I was in a raid guild with a WOMAN once back in wotlk.
@@am1d bullshit women don't exist
Retail gettin pretty boring sounds like
Im 3 years late but why not be in a guild for at least the guild perks?
my guild has 4 girls 2 of them married , and they talk a lot on discord i mean a lot.
Raul Chaser kewl
Raul Chaser Inv me to your discord group
Raul Chaser my guild has more girls than guys XD
Kelli Reed How in the world ?
My current one is mainly a couples guild with all but 3 people who are married couples. (2 of those are a lesbian couple). It's a nice, solid group of older players with no personal drama affecting the guild.
No one has a problem with being benched on rotation to let other people play. No loot, mog or pet whores - everyone passes them around. It's great!
I don't fall into any of these ones.
I think I'd be the "Kinda bad player, but people bring him along because they like him & when he fucks up it's typically in a funny way" guy.
are you sure they like you?
depend on type of guild you are in.... if its a progression guild i doubt people actually like you when you keep messing up unless they are your friends. Other than that most of all the other type of guilds should be fine with it.......
Or so you think.
You forgot the 40 year old neckbeard death knight
Those are mainly female BE paladins from what I've experienced... /shudder
I'm only 32 :'D @OriginalDKComment
*proud tank with No addons*
filthy casuals
fuck yeah. if you do well, fuck what people say you should do.
No addons is the real way of life
Orc warrior tank here, i will never use a crutch.
The only addons is a set which allows me to play with a controller. It allows me to tank properly.
Take the computer to the hospital! haha
lol He goes into cardiact arrest, doctors bring the defib and he's like "I ain't got time for this shit, I'm doing Mythic Augur" and his heart just restarts out of sheer willpower.
gcircle more like he dies, and his last will is to take a laptop that's fully charged to the grave, and wakes up during raid hours to finish mythic Gul'dan. Ain't nobody got time to die!
you forgot the backbone of every raid, the stoners and drunks, at least back in the day in a 25 man group you had like 10 that always seemed to be drunk/stoned in every raid.
i ran a mythic with a guy on acid once
Tore Nyland the thing is that wow is probably the best game to play high, but not in a raiding environment in my opinion
reimix12 getting baked and raiding is the shit tbh
That's me lol and I didn't even use addons, no idea how they took me to raid with them now that I look back at it
Yeah man, I was really expecting the "stoned guy". There is always one, and if there is none, maybe it may be me.....
I'm technically an LFR raider, but only because I'm limited on tech. I love being a part of every guild I'm in, and I enjoy making new friends in it. I wish I could be part of a raid team, and strive for the day I get a better computer to do so
You forgot the sorry guy.
Me
i think "sorry guy" is "shy guy"
Always apologizes, even when they do something right. Leaves the raid before they think they’re gonna get kicked, but will apologize for leaving and asking to take part in the next raid... yep, I know that guy... He’s Me!
Good one. The "LFR-Raider" is exactly how i picture those guys commenting under Legion videos how vanilla was the peak of difficulty and that the game caters only to casuals now lmao.
I dont hate on players than run only LFR. if you dont have the time or wish to commit its your choice. i was purely talking about the players using it as argument on how the game changed and how they "cleared the entire endgame" by queing up LFR.
LFR and people who don't like how wow currently does things is not one in the same. Back than in Vanilla there was no LFR. You HAD to be in a guild or pug it.
It is for me. Because thats all i hear from this "anti-retail" side of view.
WoW is too casual, WoW doesnt offer any challenge, spamming tradechat "LFG XY was so much better and social" than a constructive LFG tool, yadda yadda.
I mean "back in vanilla you had to be in a guild or pugg it"? so exactly what you have to do for normal and heroic now? And atleast (because lets face reality, mythic is done in guilds, not being pugged) being on the same realm if you choose to commit to mythic raids?
There are several Topics i wouldnt mind to discuss, but "difficulty" of raids, dungeons ect are none of them. The mechanically most challenging Vanilla Bosses dont even come close to some Trashmobs in terms of complexity.
+R. Gletscher What about C'thun? He was very rarely killed in Vanilla and is know as the hardest boss that has been in the game.
+devin campbell I remember Cthun was considered to be impossible and only got killed after several nerfs. that wasnt a mechanical issue or lack of skill on playerside, but rather heavy overtuning and not testing bosses. with the given gear it was mathematically impossible to kill the tentacles before they wiped the raid while still damagin Cthun himself.
there were several of those incidents like kael thas(oh god the bugs like neverending-not resetable dialoge), vashir having several gamebraking bugs for months, magtheridon being overtuned again, ect.
or archimonde where you could only attune 4! of your raid members after each Vashj kill. that was heavy gating, not the 1 quest a week for the broken shore we have now that dont really matter.
Most "first kills" of bosses that took that long had a reason. Like onyxia or molten core in general was counted from lvl 1 start, people had to reach max level, get gear, attune and find enough people that achieved the same.
The "Female" One is so fucking true !
I mean the one in my Guild Geez, You wouldn't believe it, 2 weeks later after joining the Guild she became the Guild leader's assistant/officer, and is now probably dating with the Guild Leader now.
Once I literally got kicked out of the Raid Group in guild because she logged in and wanted to Tank, and so they choose to replace me......., But the thing that got me Crazy about this is how they wiped 6 times in a row when they reached the next boss, and had to call the Raid off because she didn't know the tact but nobody had the fuckin balls to tell her to go look up the tactic
117blingbling Probably the best thing to do is leave toxic environments like that one, and find a guild that doesn't have a leader who isn't that weak-willed, the "elite of the elite", or just an asshole in general. Let them crash and burn with anyone sensible leaving.
+KommissarReb female gamers are a joke.
Nah bra. They aren't a joke. The easily manipulated male players are.
arc vbar How does one give or receive head over the internet. 🤨
This didn't happen.
I dont care, what kind of videos you make
BUT PLEASE MAKE MORE
I think I might be the silent perfectionist =/ made me laugh hard being called an npc robot...cos it's a little accurate. I do at least respond to my guild in text!
When you're the awkward guy but think you're a perfectionist ooooof
I want to see another camp in the woods video! :D
kim Ledin me too
There's something about them that makes you want to watch the whole thing.
There's one type of raider that hoy missed. The lfr i'm only in It for the story type that actually does not like the game at all, but there ain't no Warcraft IV so he has to play WoW. By the way that's me
I'm only in it for the story really. I could do without raids just fine but they're part of the story so meh.
Oh heck ya. I love the story of the Warcraft universe. LFR lets me at least see the story that unfolds in the raid with out dealing with elite raiders and the stress of a "Real Raid". There are plenty of other things to do in Warfcraft other than pvp and raid. Those are the things I like to do.
Thank you! I thought I was the only one
Dude if you really want to read the story, you can always just go to a wiki page. You don't have to do raids if you're only in it for story.
Dude, thats exactly the same as you say to a virgin guy to watch porn.
Would there be also one call "The Lore Hunting Raider"
Someone who joins in raids to see the story.
This is so good xD I have only ever been a part of a single raiding guild, and we had:
A super nice leader who always asked me how I was doing. A girl who literally everyone flirted with awkwardly in the voice chat, and who everyone agreed with no matter what. A super awkward guy who just coughed into the mic now and then. (Gotta say, I was like that too at first xP ) A guy who instantly left after first yelling at us when we wiped once.
My Thoughts
The Awkward Guy: I rarely get them.
The Overly-Nice Guild Leader: Who is that?
The Female: Only One? There are (way) more than that. My mom even plays WoW. And this type of woman is nothing like my mom.
The Elite (Four) of the Elite: I can see why the Elite of the Elite can be amazing.
The "One Wipe and I'm out" guy: I am on his side if I meet one.
The Pug: There are tons of those out there.
The LFR Raider: Count me in because I am him.
The Silent Perfectionist: I wish I was him, but I have gear that sucks.
The Super Awesome Bad***: I wish, and thanks for the tip.
That's a long name, but I will call him "The Liar": Who is this guy?
"The silent perfectionist" ive never identified as something so strongly in my life XD
Three women in my raid group. None of them get flirted with. One of them is my co-raid leader.
yea idk about the flirting thing it never happens in my guild , maybe they do it in the pink tho :D
he is not referring to females. he is referring to THE "FEMALE" ...
And probably he forget to mention that she will hunt other females, that could stand in her light down.
Alpha wolf like behavior and stuff
raid co-leader*
Max H Yeah, good save m8 but playing the fem card seems old fashioned.
* yes I'm a woman & gamer
Sure, raid co-leader. English is not my first language as you could probably tell.
Hahahah I wish you included the "link deeps" guy. The guy who asks for meters ever few minutes, after a big trash pull cause he wants to "see if he needs to adjust for his AoE dps" and during down time on a boss to "see if he is performing as well as he normally does by this checkpoint"... But when you ask why he doesn't have meters installed... He says either it's distracting so he prefers to just ask for a link, or that he forgot to turn it on before raid. Fucking. Classic. Good video!
I don't raid so I don't know if it's accurate but the lfr guy seems way too familiar. Personally I just don't feel like joining a guild or raiding since I don't have enough time and I feel like I'd just slow a group down and wouldn't be really reliable
blizz kinda nailed it with the illidan black temple raid parody. between thr jumping human female character (literally me) and the Johnny awesome had me literally burst out laughing
Hey Nixiom is extended Anduin cinematic on the way??:)
You missed out on my type.
The raider who trolls and fucks around constantly and no one thinks he can be trusted or do well but when it comes to the fight he is a perfectionist.
My raid team has two females :0
gj mate :D I'm proud :)) I used to be in a half-women guild back on WotLK :D those times, man...
I have a girlfriend
Sage Beasley Despite all the jokes, lots of girl gamers rock at raiding. I was in a guild with like 4 and omg we rocked.
W-whats a girl?
My raid team has 4 and they are all healers lol xD
Ahhh the "LFR Raider." One of the raid leads I ran with for awhile had the BEST nickname for them. Called them "LFR Superstars" in the most delightfully sarcastic tone. Pretty accurate.
Rip my raid team has 3 girls lol
Did you test them with the Crocodile Dundee test?
Wayyyy too many
Including myself we have 6, only one of our healers is male
Caroline Or does it....? *X-Files music*
We have 5
I played WoW up to it's 3rd expansion, Wraith Of the Lich king. I wasn't top of the raids mind you but I was usually in the top ten list of dps with the best gear in the game for my class. I had played this game since damn near its humble beginnings and suddenly one day just after my second weekly raid I had a realization: "I'm bored off my ass and I hate this game!" No, I didn't just suddenly decide this either, it had been one of those thoughts/feelings in the dark corner of my mind that I had always buried with a ton of excuses for nearly a year with excuses like"Nah, I'm just not doing enough!" or "I just need to run these raids more!" and much more pathetic excuses. It was then after deleting my character with full epic gear, uninstalling the game, and canceling my sub that I realized one important thing: This game is BUILT from the code up to be as addicting as possible. From the easymode raids(nightmare was the "hardest" when I played), to the leveling which took no time at all as long as you knew the leveling zones, this entire game was built to keep you playing without realizing that you were bored off your ass by continuously throwing the next stupid quest or objective at you even after you thought you were "done" when all it was, was another of the same thing you've been doing for the last 500+ quests but with a different name, NPC, and items to farm/obtain. No, the game isn't dead because Blizzard has figured out the perfect formula to keep players ADDICTED to their game, yes I said ADDICTED. WoW is literally an ADDICTION. Some handle this addiction better than others but most addicts CAN NOT GO FOR MORE THAN A WEEK without playing this game for at least 4 hours. There are COUNTLESS news articles, stories, and even shrinks to confirm this but since it is a VIDEO GAME and not a chemical, Blizzard can not be touched. I managed to escape it and yes I WENT THREW WITHDRAWAL! Countless times I had to fight the urge to reinstall the game and start over again. Not because I had nothing else to do no, because I missed the feeling of empowerment, the feeling of being all powerful, leading players to victory, being the top ten DPS. I'm not bulshitting you, the ADDICTION IS REAL! So next time you log into WoW, seriously ask yourself this: Am I logging in because I'm having fun and enjoying the game? Or am I logging in because I feel the need to play for no real reason despite not really having fun anymore.
deathsia I quit cold turkey after the last expansion. Don't really miss it after 11 years playing. Get used to a guild, then they'd break up then another, same thing.
Wrath is the second expansion. Sorry
I now have more hobbies than time. Little gaming, hiking, books, gym, used to show cats, gardening, instruments, etc. Little of everything, master of nothing.🤣 Want to do some fishing and hunting again but want to save to paint house and new floors. Will be a challenge with indoor longhair ex show cats trying to paint. Now I wish I had a basement.
I'm not sure if anyone relay but i raided because it was a fun challenge while also relaxing.
The thing tho is that i dont feel like i relax while speaking in voice chat.
Been called the best tank, never makes mistakes, no complaines when i finally found highend guild who dident mind me not speaking.
Just wanted to get that out there because most people dont seem to Think players can be good without speaking in voie chat.
Best regards the guy who just know what to do :))
6:30 we have a few of those in our classic guild. Last week I was giving +dkp for people who fulfilled specific consumable requirements on our rag fight. I told everyone to take a screenshot in case my addon does not show me their consumables and on the list I then said that people who feel like they should be on the list, should send me their screenshot.
Got one of them. I just got the Screenshot. Saw everything buffed, put him on the list.
Now do 10 kinds of PvPers lol
I am the silent perfectionist. I didn't think any of the "types" in this video would apply to me, but that one REALLY does. I'm not gonna say I'm a flawless raider. I typically parse in the 90%+ area on current mythic content. I play DPS, so my input just isn't needed.
The reason for the silence (on my part) is that I feel I have nothing to add to whatever is already being said. The raid leader/call-out people genuinely have it under control... usually. And if I'm ever asked something specifically, I just type out my answer real quick. I actually raid with my mic muted pretty much every night. It has reached the point where people do not know what I sound like after raiding with me for months, several nights a week.
The only time I've ever had to unmute my mic was when I was the 3rd tank during Blackrock Foundry during WoD. And even then it was very seldom. Keep in mind this is only during raids. Outside of raids I'm willing to talk.
"the silent perfectionist" that sounds alot like me
Yeh i can relate to that one aswell. And i know many of them.
I think there's a missing one: the LFR raider that nicely tries to get the raid to succeed (me in mists after my guild died).
These are usually a smart dps or a tank that tries putting up raid markers, explaining strats to people who aren't familiar with the boss, and talking to the other tank to know who should get what adds, etc.
Usually while they take the time to discuss strats, they'll be harassed by the impatient LFRs yelling "GOGOGOGOGO", then ninja pull when no one's ready, and say "YOU GUYS SUCK" and leave. : /
I'm the awkward, and silent perfectionist female in raids. However my guild was full of elite of the elite types, and it all got too stressful. So now I'm just a pug that does dps for other guilds and lfr.
You just described yourself as 4/10 of the stereotypes he talked about lol
same
Ryu Ash *head pat* you did the right thing. Games should be fun, not work.
I have no idea why but I get ridiculously excited when I see you've posted a new video. D; I love your channel.
would you get over your issue with LFR raiders ??? some of us dont have a choice.
becca wilson just join a guild I’m sick of seeing you on my chat bitch
I was almost a victim of The Female in WoD. I was a total raid newb, but joined my friends guild as a holy paladin. I almost got kicked from the raid group because The Female, also a healer, didn't think I should be given time to learn. I preserved though, learned how to heal effectively, and also learned that The Female wasn't very good herself.
"The Silent Perfectionist" = Koreans
This brought back memories of guild leading in TBC, always making sure everyone was doing fine, and farming additional gold for pots for a few members who didn't really have the time to raid *and* farm. So I guess I'm feeling a little called out right now lmao.
the female: or IS the guild/raid leader :v
kyahaha.. carry on!
The silent perfectionist. Yep that pretty much sums up me in a guild.
hey nixxom I'm having trouble with my wow model viewer do think you could help me I looked all over youtube and none of the tutorial helped so I don't know who else to turn to except you so can plz help nixxom.
and let me know if you want to go on a gnome adventure with you later nixxom
This was so freaking spot on and hysterical lmao!
The woman thing happened to me a while ago.. So true..
Might I add, "The guy who gets lost, all the time, no matter how often he's been there". We've all seen him, this guy would get lost in Brill let alone AQ40 or Ulduar. He's geared, he knows his rotations and probably great at fighting but without a leash, he'll take a wrong turn and get lost in a heartbeat. :)
I’m the raider that does gambling during mythic raid progression. Lol
Well, as a past hardcore progress raider i started playing with my RL friends in a casual raid - but instead of bragging around how bad the others actually were (well, they were casuals so what did i expect), i was justtrying to be nice, giving some tips and enjoy the gameplay with my friends. I had more fun playing casually, then trying to get top100 raiding 6-7 times a week for 4-5hours. The only thing i recognized was, that i tried to give it my best, trying to raise my hps/dps more and more to challenge myself.
I'm a good tank but raid people scare me. :/
Back when I played actively, I probably would have fallen somewhere between the awkward guy and LFR guy, partly because I just never was able to get into a guild that worked with my school schedule
Take your damn computer to the hospital!
the "one wipe and im out guy" is the problem 99% of the time when i comes to wiping
I'm the akward girl type :') never speak just so that people won't notice that I'm a girl. I do that in every game I play.... Rip
No, no, no, you're just a gender confused shy dude
Id eventually boot you.
Same.. I just want to be treated equally :/
Get back to the kitchen please. Thank you.
Female gamers are awesome! The guys who are commenting are wankers lol
The silent perfectionist is me. I'm so glad you actually had a category for my playstyle lol.
Did Nixxiom make an Arthur reference just now?
I march into the raid to see bosses fall to my feet, not an entire screen of epilepsy, "walk there", "kill this" and ear-piecring sfx.
If addon is that important, it would have become an in-game feature already.
Oh, hey, it's Bejeweled, yay!
I'm sort of the addon guy, I'm not against them and I've always installed every one i've been asked to. Trouble is I'm as thick as pig shit and I'm too stupid to use them, so they're just sorta there.
i can relate to this. when i first got into a serious raiding guild in wotlk and they found out i wasnt using addons i got kicked right away. my friend then helped me install all the addons needed for raiding, but i couldnt understand how to use them and i didnt improve one bit because of it. i quit playing soon after, and to this day i still have no idea what the addons do.
you missed that "indispensable guy" that will assure the whole raid's success, even if it means the whole raid waiting for him 40 minutes until his HDD cools in the fridge
I am the no add-on person. I literally just learned about them when I joined my guild but I still have none. I recently told my guild my secret. Their pure shocked voices gave me life, especially since I main a disc priest and my guild is starting mythic prog Antorus. Apparently disc is one of the main specs people need add ons for. Oh well 😂😂😂😂
Friohija yeah wont get far without addons in mythic progrssion
when normal uldir was still a thing, i played with a too nice raid leader which asked almost everyone after 4 hours of raid if we wanted to take a break etc. he had everything we needed and paid a guy's reparation. I should really have added this guy on battle net but i didn't and i still feel bad about it
i cant use addons cause i have 3.6gb of ram haha
Lol
Richard Marshall Vrykul story bro
Last time I played wow was up to wrath, this video is so spot on , nice to see nothing has changed since then lol
half my guild is female lol
You now have the attention of every person who is watching this video. We all wish to know what your guild is called so we can join :D
Plot twist: *Half of your guild is **_male_*
I was "the nervous to the gills" off tank during 10 man ulduar. I was shaking like a madman because reading and watching strats were one thing but in practice that only meant so much.
trigger warning for the anti-sjw: this is gonna sound feminist. I've watched a lot of your videos andenjoyed them, and I felt like as much a part of the community as anyone. But your point about "the female" really made me feel unwelcome, because it became obvious you're playing with men first and foremost. I've been toying with the thought of joining voice chat, but with your point I think that would be a really bad idea, so maybe it'd be smarter of me to remain "the silent guy" you mentioned in another point. I really hope "the female"-point was sort of a joke. Only room enough for one female in the group? You know what, sure. One declared female and ten secret ones. I bet that what happens is that when the females see how fellow females are drowned (which, really, is just sorta sad for the boys) the second her gender is out, the girls decide to keep their gender a secret. I bet that's how both guys and girls come to think that most girls are attention whores: it's because the only reason anyone would come forward with being female, is to get attention. Hell, I bet a ton of the "the female" are guys, because 99% of the females I know are far fed up with sexual attention and have an easy way to escape it in gaming, while really, a significant part of the male players severely lack sexual attention and acknowledgement.
I really feel like I owe it to my sisters to come forward with being a girl in order to let them know that they're not alone, that they're not the only one feeling like it's better to let everyone assume she's a guy. But I don't want to bring politics into my game, my free time, my... dare I say it? Safe place :o I just want a game where it doesn't matter what gender you are. So I'm not gonna log in and spam trade calling out for the secret females. I'll never do that. But I'd love it if you'd just acknowledge that it's a common misconception, instead of adding fuel to the myth. Maybe you could be one of the guys who informs the player base that "this is why we can't have nice things". Then maybe one day it won't be stupid of me to join voice chat.
Good God, going way off there. "Hell, I bet a ton of the 'the female' are guys," damn. With some third part software installed to give them a female voice, right? Shit. Anyway, it's just that the female/male player ratio is pretty low, especially in raiding guild groups and such.
I was the awkward guy, pretty dead on. My chatting was minimal even after years in the same raid group. But I also made damn sure I never messed up and did good consistent dps. More often than not I'd be the last guy standing after a wipe, allowing for mass res. So I guess they just accepted me and I'm thankful for that.
Pin me Daddy
Ragnaros the Firelord hey raggy.
want to become the Felfirelord?
you cant even magic
nani
Ragnaros The Firelord no. but i have that green juice
yeah but you got rekt by 25 ppl... soooo you are weak
0:24 I get the feeling the reference to Discord is going to be dated because Teamspeak used to be a thing and Discord will eventually be replaced too.
Wow im early!
GG you're first want a prize ?
Sure, il take big mac and a large coke.
Female
Sorry sire I'm not Maec Daonauld.
the silent perfectionist. I wonder what he gets up too. Hes top of the dps meters, he always has extra pots and flasks and food and runes etc when someone asks he trades them gives out never asking for anything back never speaking. HE IS A GOD OF THE GUILD
You forgot one which is my type of raiding lol.. The Alt-Tab Raider: This raider will usually die every single time on the very first very very avoidable 1 shot mechanic just so he can Alt-Tab and watch youtube videos while the rest of the raid does all the work once the boss is dead he collects the loot rinse and repeat on the rest of the bosses and if he gets kicked he says oh well que for another pug and the cycle continues.
My record in my raid was I think 30k overall damage and was never kicked for some reason and made it to the end of Castle Nath and got 4 upgrades on that single run I was so happy to have worked so hard to earn those beauties I truly earned it!
I'm a heavy introvert personality. I have a hard time forcing myself to talk when I don't have to.
If I'm tanking and need to communicate with the other tank, I make a quick /say macro to get the job done. Switch out my mount keybind for it.
But there's been some "Oh shit" moments where I have to take someones job because they died or lost their cooldown to something else, and I start talking in voice chat. My guild will always ask "Who's voice is that?"
I fall somewhere between Silent Perfectionist and Award Silent guy. I've been playing this game for 10 years, and I know what I'm doing. I tend to die once to a new mechanic.
Though, when I see I'm not pulling the DPS I should be I start getting a little depressed and spend all my time between raids trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. It's really discouraging and I get too scared to join raid groups at all. Usually leading me to slowly fall out of the patch.
A lot of times it's not the fact that were awkward some of us just like to sit back listen and learn. Makita proper communication with the team is understanding and developing idea of patterns of each individual person. we stay quiet until we know you once we truly know you we don't shut up
As a female raider in WoW, I can say
Literally everything was wrong, at least in my case. Maybe, just MAYBE I’m not playing because my (non existent) boyfriend is leader, or I’m looking for attention. It might just actually be because I like, playing, a, game.
This was so GOOD! :D Over 12 years of playing warcraft I could remember all those people in a flash :D
What makes the raider who doesn't use addons so good is that he doesn't NEED the PC to do it for him
What addons are good for raiding? I haven’t had much time so I’ve been a dirty LFR raider but I’m getting into more stuff when BfA drops. What should I get that’ll help me with mechanics and DPS?
Other raiders: the roleplayer (roleplays during the raid), the joker (jokes around, especially on the killraids, but he is usually also a badass dps-er so you can't kick him), the know-it-better guy (always wants to use a different tactic than the raidleader), the famous guy (played in a world renowned guild or was rank 14 in vanilla),
Definitely the pug, back when I was in full raiding guilds I was the awkward quiet one lol
heres 10 more
10 the " i need healing " guy
9 the 80% afk guy
8 the guy who thinks he knows what he is doing but has no idea
7 the guy who tells everyone about their mistakes
6 the Leeroy Jenkins
5 the mad strategist
4 the guy who attacks at low HP
3 the guy who needs a wock to port him/her ( they are so special )
2 the insane player who looks like he can solo that without any help
1 - my favourite
I don't like list videos - but this one is really accurate. I've met all 10 of these people.
Let's not forget the "Knows all tactics, is friendly and good dps" the best kind 😂
I was a pug who was often called on for heroic ICC and FL for my druid heals by a few different guilds every week. Just didn't have time for the commitment to a guild lol
I was the guy who provided commentary/narration in one section of the frozen citadel raid with my guild. It was back in WoTLK, the best WoW days of my life (before I quit), I would provide nonsensical narration while we killed a giant abomination and everyone laughed. After that, Id shut my mouth and focus on killing mobs and bosses.
I'm the "Good player who dies a lot." And my guild never lets me forget it. Like when I fell off the bridge for the first time on heroic krosus "GOD DAMNIT HELLE!"
Or when I time my jump perfectly on the fall to Krosus so that way I die.
Nice to see you Posting again. :)
