This morning, I was invited to my first Champ Spawn hunt.
Needless to say, it did not go well for me. Background on me: I am a GM Archer, working on 110 skill, GM in Anatomy (working on 105 skill) and Expert in Chivalry and Healing with Magery of 23.6. I have never gone to Feluccia Delucia before. I tend to stay away from Fel simply because of the PKing, so I did not know what to expect there. I should have asked more questions, or more information should have been given to me. Don't expect everyone who has a Vet account, such as myself, to know everything or have done everything. Many of us have lead sheltered lives on Trammel and/or have never hunted in a group before (explaining why I have never been to the Champ Spawn before).
First, there are few things I need to say: thank you for the invitation to join you (Lora, Anfalas, Matrim, Winter and some others, sorry forgot all the names). Second, I doubt that I will join anyone in a Champ Spawn hunt again.
I cannot critize on how it went or critize the guild members there, but I left with a bitter taste in my mouth. For a lack of a better word or phrase, my first experience was fubar. It wasn't even organized chaos.
With this said, I want to apologize to everyone for my behavior after I died and my bonded Ossie, Fuzzbutt, wandered off. With so much chaos and maham going on, its a wonder anyone noticed I died or that it was possible anyone could stop long enough to resurect me. I was crass, rude and a down right brat.
It is therefore, my suggestion, that when you invite new guild members or even older ones, who have never been to these difficult places that you inform them of what to expect. A warning of watch out for this and that apparently wasn't enough. Since I had never seen the Champ before or those blue looking dire wolves (and they were??). Keep in mind that most archers do not have much magery skill and therefore, do not carry spellbooks and are unable to teleport to the roof. Telling me to teleport was useless because of this lack of magery and in the confusion, I was running all over the area looking for a "teleport pad", thinking this is what was meant. All I wanted to do was get the hell out of there and never, ever, ever go back.
I also apologize if this post offends anyone. These are my thoughts and if I dont speak up, it will eat away at me.
