Started on another server and hit 42, but this just makes me want to reroll here so I think I'll do just that Can I apply straight of the bat or do I need to hit a particular level?

I'll say.
I only went on once and it was worse than overhearing a couple young children who have only just learned to swear. One guy could not construct a single sentence without 2 or 3 f words in it. :rolleyes:

There are a number of people who have toons at all levels, so it shouldn’t be difficult to get group going, just mention it in guild chat.

I'm starting to level my other two characters now, which are at lvl 33 and 23 so always up for dungeons and group questing.

I know what you saying, many of the lvl 50’s are trying to gear up with T1 & T2 runs.

We do have a number of people at the lower lvls and we will always try help were we can.

Some random thoughts:

I've noticed on a few occasions (myself included) that people have just gone from 1-50 doing quests, maybe 1 or 2 instances & very little or no PvP. This has ended up with people, through no real fault of their own not knowing how to effectively play their various different roles.

Why is this a problem? Well it is and it isn't, some people will just hit 50 and be instantly ready for any tactics you throw at them, others will obviously need practise to gain confidence & expertise in their roles.

How do we solve this? Two points worth making:

PvP.

First and foremost PvP is a fantastic exercise in:

Button mapping - dragging your mouse over 500 pixels is a lot slower in 99% of cases that having a skill mapped a button your finger is already on. Q, E, R, T, F, G, X, C & Shift + Ctrl + Alt variants are literally mandatory.
Reaction time - Interrupts, silences and moving-out-of-the-way all play a key part in RIFT, getting to know when to do them helps massively. Practise, practise, practise.
Crowd Control - Whether they be temporary (i.e knocking back or fearing a rogue for a few seconds) or semi-permanent (i.e Transmogrification lasting the duration of a fight) is a fantastic tool for clearing new content & dealing with bad pulls.

PvE.

Completing instances/group content (i.e. Rifts, Group quests, et al) at level appropriate times not only lets you get basically a free level of experience but also semi-prepare you for the Expert Tier 1 & Tier 2 versions of those instances at level 50, in regards to boss moves & tactics (obviously expert instances have extra bosses and tactics)

Joining mumble and going through with guild members will improve your experience no end.

Watch the Tier 1/2 Expert Dungeon Guides from Ciderhelm here

I'd also like to organise a couple of level 50 'mentor' duos to go through 40-50 Dungeons with members who feel they need to improve ready to rock and roll in Expert/Raid Dungeons & Rifts! :cool:

I could do with improving my tanking & I think Markeh would like to trial some healing builds so if 3 DPS are online this weekend give Ragu a shout & we'll run through AP/CC Normal to get the group dynamics sorted then head on to IT & possibly KB/RotF/FoLH/?

Oh yes, because muting select people from a conversation makes it so easy to follow said conversation. :rolleyes:

The simple solution was to quit the guild and find a more mature based one, which I have done. I was only giving my opinion, I'll say no more about it.

Always ask in guild chat. I've done 3 or 4 lower level dungeons to drag guildies through.
I found when levelling I did very few dungeons, mostly due to the terrible state of the PUG Shivermere tanking community. I've not done any past level 25 to be honest.
So grab me if I'm online, I've obviously got quite a few quests in these instances.

jonneymendoza · 15 Apr 2011 at 09:22

Ok cool thanks, i will ask as i have not done the dungeon in the first zone

Mr_White · 16 Apr 2011 at 17:51

Can forum members still get an invite to the guild or do we have to apply now?

I think I could have some fun on this with a good guild.
