The cult around the "voice"

Linking the "voice of the master" in party chat upon finishing the quest has become almost the standard annoyance nowadays, replacing useless buffing before every quest.

This is hypocritical and noobish if you ask me, people are too dumb to kill trash mobs before the boss which in many quests easily yields +10% which is the difference between onslauht and conquests, besides I know noone who doesn't wear voice permanently anyways. It's just f*king annoying when people link it and finish 1 second afterwards so you can't equip it anyways if you wanted, and ignore all other xp-bonuses and as I said whom does it benefit at all? People too dumb to know when a quest is about to finish becasue they are to fucking noob or too fucking senile?

Some people who might be practicing duping xp-stones might not care but whatever ...

Yes, it takes forever to buff up for PUG.

And here I was expecting videoclips of performances from the TV show.

Fuck you Jerry!
  

Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

If you dont like it, maybe stop pugging?

I dont always wear voice/mantle during quests (depends on build I am playing oc), the 100xp you get from a 2k optional just isnt worth it sometimes

I don't wear the Voice during quests, only ever swap it in at the end, and if I was ever not the person who was about to complete the quest would doubtless find that annoying.  But I always am, so I don't.

That's so 1st world problem. Not annoyed by it, using Master's Gift or even nothing at all. Pots + bravery + first time.... so much xp. Those 5% are a gimmick nowadays.

Indeed. Or continue to do it then cry about it. I think the latter is more likely.

I think you are overstating it. Most people that do voice linking wait for at least a few seconds.

It's late, I might be doing rant reading fail - I read it as "don't waste my time with linking VOTM !!111!! argh" a bit, with a side order of annoyance when people link it then finish immediately. But I might be wrong, it happens Smiley

By the time I've killed all the mobs to get conquest in most quests, I could have zerged it twice and got way more exp. Voice takes like 1 second, if you even need to switch it. I use the augment now like most people.

190.000 xp per heroic and 330.000 xp per epic TR disagrees with that statement.

Then again, math only complicates things and you shouldn't bother with the voice/mantle/gift.

20 minutes is about 2 runs for von3 or spies
