). so of course i say sure, telling him the spiel. anyways, after i am done sliceing, my number 1 fear begins to play itself out: i crash. and bad. unable to get my computer back up for 3-45 minutes. the whole time thinking "Great, i am getting chewed out in Bestine." well i get back in game, and i see that i had a few tells from him before my toon got disconnected. but the extent of the tells were "Are you there?" and "hello?" so i get back in, appologise profusly and find that he took it in stride. it was simply amazing. cheers to everyone who knows that stuff happens Okay, okay. For the sake of bringing this phenomenal thread back to the front page, I am going to relay a story of how I, Trask Ol'ya, am a complete and utter moron.
So, I'm hunting with a guy I know. Not a RL friend, but one of the best people I have met in-game. His name is Twista Twista, and he's a blast to play with. You would be lucky to have him in your group. Lots of build up to this story, but I will stick to the basics.
We are hunting on Dathomir and Twista is trying to get Polearm xp so he can skill up Pikeman. I was fully buffed and wearing a suit of 67% base, 80% kinetic composite armor while Twista was running around in his boxer shorts with no buffs at all. On our third giant bazz nitch mission, I tell him to go ahead and whack the lair while I cover him and hit the next mob pop. I wasn't clear about what I meant, and when the first mob comes, he keeps hitting the lair. Four mobs spawn, and I am doing everything I can to try and get them to attack me. I am using Taunt, LowBlow, WarningShot, PanicShot, everything I can think of. The fourth mob, however, incaps him. Then they all come after me. I am surrounded by them, so I decide to get this over with quickly and pull out my vibroknucklers (I am also a Teras Kasi Master). I get one hit in when all of a sudden, my cable modem drops my connection. Of course, I panic. When I get the stupid thing reset, I come back online to find that two of the bazzies are dead, one is at half health, the fourth is still hitting me, and a fifth has spawned in. Twista is standing next to me watching me kill them as my HAM has barely even been scratched. He proceeds to laugh a little about me dropping and tells me that I am awesome.
Now, at this point, I am really feeling like a tough SOB. I think to myself, 'Time to show him some real action'. I use Knockdown on one of the bazzies and hit my hotkey for Warcry to try and delay them all. Or at least, I thought I hit my hotkey for Warcry....Unfortunately, I hit my hotkey for FeignDeath. I instantly go down, and before I can get back up, they have moved on to my partner who was content to watch me stand there and whip ass. In less than three hits, he is dead. Not incapped. Dead.
The worst part? The chat bubble with the words, "You are AWESOME" is still hanging over his head as he goes down in a pile of bones. I got up, and the fight was over with 10 seconds later. I have never felt more horrible in this game than I did right then...
Fortunately, he was understanding about it. Again, Twista is one of the coolest people I have met in-game. But that was just the one time that using my Smuggling skills made me feel like a true low-life. At least now I can laugh about how stupid I was...
