Quote:JC? How bout you, dark quests giving you the most shit?
I have a vary old computer that was not made with the intent of playing games. I have the graphic settings set to the absolute minimum and thus don't have any problems with the games faulty shadow graphics ext. I only have
graphic problems when there is a lot going on and my computer simply does not have the power. I still have the same lag problems as the rest of the party.
However the most interesting thing happened in Gianthold the other day. I was in an over-level pug running Tor elite for scales when we wiped. Group wasn't bad, wasn't great, but wasn't that bad. We were getting hit by things like four comet falls at once that killed instantly.
Anyway. I don't remember all the details but the black dragon annihilated all of us except for a guy who went AFK just before the black dragon. Four of us recall out, remaining survivor waits at the black dragon portal for us to make it back in, and my guildie just waits for me to get in and raise him so he does not need to run back.
The four of us that released all get stuck on the Gianthold loading screen. We can still talk on voice chat. After a long while I disconnect from the server and the game shuts itself down. After I have DDO completely closed my guilde on Vent tells me that as far as he can see everyone is still logged in. As I am trying to get DDO to start back up he tells me that all four of us disconnected on his screen at the same time.
When we manage to reconnect and log in we are all alive and in the quest. Two rooms away from the shrine before the black dragon, with the same HP and SP the we had when we had reached that room. Also on all of our screens my guildie had full hp, but was still dead with a red name and skull icon.
First time that I had the server roll me back. At least it resurrected me. I couldn't use the shrine though.
Edited: Brain tired. three hours of sleep. Need to get back to reading poll worker guidebook. Fuck insomnia.
