The Retarded Party Member

[Zseth]

Is it just me or does everyone have that one member of their party that is just retarded? Losing them on /Follow, failing to have the right action bar up, wondering why mobs are taking so long to AE down then you realize that one of your guys is way far back, or that one character that dies every pull even when you focus heal them.

One of my shaman disconnected twice during my ZF video. At the end of the video, you can see that she's the one that is just standing there not casting anything. :P

She's also the one that's lagging 1 level behind everyone. Coincidence? I think NOT!

I have that with 2 toons.

For whatever reason two of my shamans like to hang really far back and frequently don't respond to my follow macro.

It's getting rather irritating.

But on the other hand I have one toon that always follows even if I'm still holding down my macro key. It's odd considering that all of the macros are exactly the same.[/u]

i have one stray warlock whos pets seems to go awol all the time, causeing many a wipe.

[Toned]

I have a shaman that is like an ubr fast leveler he's got 5 bubs on the rest. He must never die on my big pulls or something.

Hehe...I had one that did this, too. Turns out that it was a problem in the Dell wifi driver or hardware on the machine that had the issue. Had a 2nd box that did this as well and it turns out that the WOW.EXE process was sucking up so much CPU that the firewall couldn't process data fast enough and was causing spurious disconnects.

I think we push system and network configs with multiboxing more than we push WoW. ;)

One of the Zins was always falling a tad behind. Never more than a few bubbles though.

My priest is always getting hung up on doorways. Ugh. She also levels the slowest because... well priests don't get any special quests like Paladins/Mages/Warlocks (the rest of my party).

[Katharsis]

Pffft, my main is a retard. You had feet?!?!

[Allokra]

It has happened numerous times that the "other" four clowns in my group decided it would be hillarious to make me pull a Leeroy Jenkins...what usually happens is that I get to some boss fight I haven't done before...push my ` button to disable synergy while I TAB out to check out the Boss fight on wowwiki or some other website...I come back and forget to turn synergy back on..charge in...followed by a lot of wtf...wtf...why won't he die and realize that I am the only one fighting...thanks for coming...come again...

QFT,,,, I have done that more times than I care to admit in public, after hitting my KVM (Disabling Vetra) to /whisper someone on 1 toon.

just reward the smart one that follows your directions with phat lewtz, like a raiding guild would do =]

if the dumb ones screw up enough just /kick them.

if the dumb ones screw up enough just /kick them.I'd agree, but then you'd just keep getting those error messages: "Cannot send stockpiled loot to AH mule. No mailbox exists in this instance."

Curiously, I think I have one of these on my newest team!

My Druid seems to get disconnected all the damn time. And when she disconnects, she can't reconnect until she actually leaves the game world (i.e. shows as "offline" on my party bar).

Any attempt to reconnect before that is greeted with an instant boot from the server again.

It happens no matter which machine I put her on, and doesn't happen to any of the other characters at all.

The closest I had before this is in my mid-level team (50s).

I have one character there who frequently goes into run-away mode for no apparent reason too. She just gets it in her head to keep going when everyone else stops, and that happens about every third time I play the team. Just often enough to be annoying, and infrequently enough for me to not always be paying attention.

Bizarre.

My two warlocks following my priest (all on their mounts) always seem to get stuck trying to enter the elevator to leave Undercity. That doorway is quite narrow, so you gotta make a wide turn to get em all lined up to enter successfully.

[Xzin]

Stupid UC elevator

[Terbulous]

I think ive had my clones die more often from that stupid elevator than they have questing so far. one of them always seems to get stuck.

[Ghallo]

sigh, that Shatt elevator is just evil.

[Skuggomann]

Jubb happend to me too.

My solution is putting mithril squirrs on the boosts of the dudes that r following ya, atleast that prevents them from falling behignd

My evil alter-ego says, "STOP BEING ALDOR, NUBS!"

If you ARE scryers, do you really die from jumping off the scryer's elevator? I almost always just jump as I don't feel like waiting on it. Not died yet.
