  Some people just fail at cooperating in general. Either it's cluelessness or lack of caring, I don't know. It's still pretty infuriating.
  
  I haven't had many parties where that occured. Usually people are pretty understanding, especially since we're all around lvl 30+. I guess knowledge comes with exp XD.
  
  I sometimes do Boat 1 just for kicks (and because it doesn't cost tokens) and even if I end up tagging along in a lvl 8's party, I'll still help out. And because I'm a high enough level, I can handle whatever fail they might do. Plus, being a staffy, I can heal them/rez them if need be.
  
  My personal pet peeve is the drop system. Drops seem to be excessively rare overall; break off is ridiculously annoying (especially for a staffy) and the items gotten from breaking objects (I'm looking at you, Ice Crystal) are super rare, and a massive pain to get as a staffy (I need 2-3 hits to break off any crate/vase from Boat 2 onward; I need about 15-20 hits to break a single ice stalagmite/column). I could use my spells, but they use stamina like crazy, and I can't aim them (for broken pieces on the ground, I always overshoot them with my Magic Arrows).

  
  
  You can use the scythe when you want to hunt for Ice Crystals, or wait until you can rank Eagle Talon to 9. The Magic Mine will pretty much instantly take out any ice piece, and likely those nearby too.

  I somehow have the feeling this was a bit directed towards me! D:
  Well, on one hand, I DO feel that partying is easier than soloing most of the time. However, with a fail party, you'll have to use your own skills and THAT'S what really matters mostly. If everyone in the party has been wiped out and you're left against 2 boss enemies, it's time for you to show how good you are, adding in some lag from the host. I tend to find partying is harder slightly, mainly because I lose track of the enemy easily because if I'm fighting it for the first time, when someone get's hit, I tend to glance at them and see how hard it hit them, if it's a smash/normal attack, etc. An example can be the Gnoll King, as I watched him throw an axe at somehow and they got cleaved, yet I failed to notice him dashing at me (Oh the pain!!!). I get more distracted partying than I do soloing.
  
  However, like I said, partying can also show skills, the way I see it though is when people start to mess up and the party falls apart...wait, I forgot coordinating attacks! That's another thing, with people knowing how to time the spear throw or knowing when to heal others, etc. Though....reading your post, it's got me thinking more and now I'm not sure which I'd prefer too do now.....
  
  Anyway, my pet peeve is the Gnoll King, specifically from Fleeing. I call hax on his INSANE VERSION OF THE KOBOLD WARRIOR/CONSTIPATED BROTHER'S AXE SWINGS!! I nearly got wallraped by those blasted swings and if it wasn't for me running back, noticing I'm stuck at a wall and slip dashing for my life, I'd have probably had my armor broken and then he'd cleave me in two. Also, why the heck does he have to outspeed you just SWINGING them? I still hold by my claim that the toughest Boat 4 bosses are the Gnoll King and Singleshot, but now I fear the Gnoll King even more....NEVER invite me to a Gnoll King Hero Mode -_-

  
  
  No, this is definitely not directed towards you because you acknowledge that there are difficulties with parties and different skills used when being in a party. Honestly, it's just different in general, which makes it hard to sometimes say how skilled a person is purely based on their ability to solo. Parties are very, very distracting to me just because of the pretty little flashy things other people do, what their doing, what they're saying, and all the little times that make you laugh when someone does something stupid. My pet peeve are the people who only think soloing shows skill. People who think soloing shows skills but can acknowledge that partying also takes skills (and different sets of skills, might I add) don't bother me.
  
  Oh and if you run a really sharp circle around the Fleeing Gnoll King when he does his crazy hack and slash hammering move, you can outmaneuver him. He's a big guy, so turns are your best friend. No need to try to outrun him.

  Eventually we can skin armors with other armors, so like you can make like the Spider Lord Armor look like the Blood Prince Armor, but with the Spider Lord Stats D: Not sure if you can mix armor types though, like Heavy armor with a Cloth Armor Skin >_>

  
  
  ...that's really nice to hear. I love the Broken Ash set and thought about dying it all pure black, but ultimately decided it wasn't worth it since eventually I'd have to go for the latest armor. I dislike pretty much every armor that comes after that. :P

  You should aim for the super rare Pure White @_@ Run around like The Ashen, but with meat on your bones!

  When people throw Pokeballs at my Evie cause I named her Aipom D:
• grandpajelly wrote on 2010-12-23 06:24
  When evies run around just shooting firebolts at the boss. ...
  
  
  ...which is pretty much what I do right now, I don't know what else I could offer.
• Taycat wrote on 2010-12-23 11:59
  It's not so annoying they do it, it's just they will constantly do it even after the boss is pretty much taken care of.
  
  Also, firebolt is a life saver if you just can't deal a lot of damage to the boss.

  People that tell me that I shouldn't use my hammer because it's slow and I won't be able to counter.
  
  Dammit! I haven't used a sword since i got the hammer and i can counter JUST FINE.
  
  Also, people that complain that I pick things up in the first room of Nightmare at the Ruins. If it's right next to me, I'm gonna pick it up.
  
  People who tell me i am going to get banned for having "Ass" in my name -_- on east i have Assmerelda (Fiona) Assher (Lann) as well as Asshley (StEvie) and Asstra (Scythe Evie).
  
  The fact that gold ore IS SO RARE GOSH

  Am I allowed to put myself as a pet peeve?
  
  xD I really hate when I do something that I know I shouldn't do.. like FB in front of Lagho's face while 2manning with Heretic.

  Ok, I've gotten over my token hate.
  
  New pet peeve: Black Breeze. That thing is a *****.

  Pesky Bonus Missions that require you to group with low levels. I have nothing against low level characters, but getting 2 Lv10 people in the same place is hard at times. I've made several alts and each of them have exceeded Lv10 on quests before they even knew who the Gnoll Chieftain was. Short of getting friends to make Lv10s for me or waiting half an afternoon for 2 to join my boat, BP like that is waaaaay too tedious.

  Him and his gang >8U
  
  Normally I haven't been annoyed by much ingame ATM
  
  Though there was this guy earlier today ,( at the end of Blood Prince) the dialogue went like this:
  
  "not trying to sound like a dick but this was the worst party I've been in"
  
  Me: " this was actually the best one I've been in LOL"
  
  And Iunno what went on after that but he left saying " you all suck"

  Ok, so turns out the Black Breeze wasn't that bad.
  
  New pet peeve: the Gloomy Echapelch and his spider minions in Spider Overload.

  Pst, Tea. Did you still need this done? Cause if you do, I can do it for you.
  
  @Silverkun Grab an Evie with a golem and you're good to go for that dungeon.
