Thread: Why I hate server down times, a depressing story....
Ok so let us start the story by stating how much I hate them taking away my server right out from under my meet...
So a friend of my was running around the Mining outpost on Dantooine when he happens a long a Dark Jedi Master. He sends me a tell and I tell him, cool stay there and I will take him down. Well, low and behold the DJM that used to have 18k HAM now got uber. He had 391,000 Mind points, and 90% resists to all with heavy armour. This was scary becausewe decided I should take it down. My strategy was to mind bleed it to death. Luckily he was only about 600mfrom the Mining outpost, so I cloned. And then began the routine of me getting two bleeds off, getting killed and coming back just in time to get two more bleeds off while my friend kept him targeted so he would not despawn. Things were going well, it was a grind be we were having fun watching him force lightening and chopping me into pieces every 4 min. Then with 130,000 mind to go and 1.5 hours consumed, the worst thing ever, "The sever will be shutting down in 15min.....blah blah blah blah blah." Now I am pissed, I try desperately to quicken my pace but it just does not happen. So after about 2 hours the server kicked me off when he had 78,000 mind left! So close!! I was so excited about the story I was going to get to share here but it only ended in depressing resets and false hopes.
Well I was hoping to share a better story....maybe an exception or legendary loot, but NOOOOOO!!!!!!
Yes... its all true..... I was that lowly Zabrak that befriended the Wook rifleman. He may have been torn to pieces multiple times....but I had to watch! ![]()
I sure got a kick out of telling Ryllocaaryk this, just as the servers came down: "Hey Ry..." "What?" "Merry Christmas man" "Dude....no...just no..." ![]()
