My Worst KQ Mara EVER! share yours.

[Hydr0]

Hey,

Yesterday i had the crazy kq ever!

Like always, we rushed till the bosess. the sux part was that our warriors logged out or died.
we had no mages.
only 2 clerics , 1 low level warrior, 4 archers and me CLERIC. 8 players.

We got to the boss and then everybody told me to tank o_0
I was level 25 with 623HP.
pepole gave me VIT SCROLL AND SHIELD. so i had 823 HP and 230 def something like that.
every boss took us forever o0 everybody was level 17-20.
we got to bosess and we had some unexperiecne players so they didn't know to lure the right boss. some archer lured 2 fake bosess so everytime i needed to take them to other side of the ship and almost died 01230210times :O
IN THE END. we finished with 1-2 min left and guess what?
i got Bleseed ELRUE =| and guess WHATTTTTTTT it ruin my shield :O

After all this worst kq i think i should get some +9 weapon lol.

share us your crazy kq story :P

[inuyasha92083]

Lol my worst kq was ealyer today.
One mage ran off right at the begining of the KQ, as we partied up and people tried to fairly split the clerics among the teams this mage comes back with a huge train of agros no ones expecting dies in the middle of us and catching everyone off gaurd kills off most the team, he then got back up and ran so as not to die again got MORE train and did it agian. We died. I could say he did it on purpose...but who knows maybe he was just a very stupid mage that had no idea what he was doing

[Desirai]

I despise mara pirates. Being a mage, we die in like 1/2 a hit --''

And then I always end up in a kq with 5+ clerics, all of which are 17-19.

And everyone wants to rush instead of killing things, which makes sense but is stupid. Rush to the bosses before time wears out, good. Leaving 3/4 the people behind, NOT GOOD.

[Hydr0]

mayb some of u already kq with me but i'm cleric level 25. and i never leave mages and archers behind.
I dont care about warriors. they can use stones.. but i dont want mages and archers to die in start so i always the last person who rush and i heal them..

inuyasha92083 the mage did it on the start? right after u enter the kq ?
lol

[joedoe]

Mara and goldeen hill are a test to team work.
i've been on some and i suppose it's like upgrading weapons.
you get a good team who is always lookin out for each other and helping newcomers or you get high level guys who just are interested in finish it for more exp, and they don't care who stay's behind!
this guys don't play well with others and if you get in a quest like that better give up and let be killed and try to join with others.

i was thinking of making a black list for some caracthers what do you think?

[Balder]

I was doing the slime king KQ today and man oh man, i dont know what the heck was up with the players but they kept going off formation and attacking the monsters who killed them in like 3 hits. I was actually surprised that everyone made it to the end though.

[Andromeda]

My worst KQ was when I attempted the Robo KQ =.= Ill never attempt that again =_=

I hate Robo KQ period not like I care anyway because I get more exp faster in Uruga im getting over 200k exp a day ^_^

[Hydr0]

What is Uruga o_0 ?

[Desirai]

Uruga is the 60+ city..@@

[Diagemi]

Hydr0 I'm sure we been in a couple together.
I think the worst thing is to leave people behind. And, yes they definitely test team work, or lack thereof.
And, for some reason the last couple have been where people get in and start running, no discussion of what is going on, or the Strat. It's almost as if strat is tossed to the wayside. I haven't tanked yet, because of my level, there seems to always be someone else that is of higher level. Which is fine by me.
The worst I think is when I jumped into the KQ, and we started with 15, and by the time we arrived at the first actual fight, we had 6 people left. That sucked. I think allot left because no one invited them to party - or whatever. Frustration perhaps.
I've run a couple other strategy events in other MMO's and to be honest, these KQ's are the most unorganized team events I have ever been witness to. I'm just going with the flow for now, until I get higher level and my own Guild.
Thanks and enjoy the game~

[Desirai]

QFT ; ;

I played FFXI for 3 years, and it's the only game I ever played where teamwork was required and strategies were required.

In this game, it is required, but ignored. The only way you can learn how to do KQ is to do it over and over and learn "Ok, at this point we are most likely going to do this. After we get there, it's common sense to think we'll be doing that. Also, don't get too close to those things when you get over here, because no one is going to help you."

[Annwyn]

The major problem with rushing is that most people do that.

I stayed behind twice to heal a fighter, who was trying to protect others by the way, twice we ended up alone and dead.

So now, yes I'm rushing as well ^_~

[Diagemi]

Most of my Strat came from FFXI aswell. Makes me miss the Strat but not the game. orz XD!

[mrbradley1]

So today I had my worst KQ EVER! lol

it was King Slime kq- had 3 fighters, 5 clerics and misc.

Some new archer ended up pulling the King while we all still in our mushes.

Then the Chaos hits, people dropping left and right while archer dragged king around.

Tanks got on him but kept dieing till no more tanks where left. We ended up only having 5 Clerics, 1 Mage (me), and 1 Archer left. killed the king at full health and it was successfull.

I guess it wasnt that bad since we still won, but man, it was tough.

[Saphirei]

I've had too many bad Mara KQs...
One was that, everbody died at the two first Mara and Marlone..
EVERYONE but me, a newb, a mage, and a low lvl fighter.
So we just suicided.

Another was, we had one cleric, who couldn't rev and wouldn't listen to us.

And I think a user I hate the most is Dr_House.. someone give that guy an english grammar lesson. :(

[aznfata1ity]

My worst mara was probably when some random archer said he could lure, and then lured two at the same time, both of which were fake. We actually managed to kill off those guys and rezzed everyone back up, but we ran outta time in the end. :(

[MorpheusX]

The worst? Let see, how about getting stuck inside a pole and can't do a thing.

Second worst, during one Mara KQ, I was the only tanker, when we reach the ship my wife called me for dinner so I have to logout, leaving a bunch of player with my name in their KOS list :D

[Andromeda]

What is Uruga o_0 ?

This is one of the many random pictures I have in Uruga level up. You shouldnt really be entering Uruga solo until at least Lv 50 but with a party it can be done much earlier.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d59/kramark/screenshot160.jpg

[Dragon_Ladysupreme]

I think earlier today gave me insensitive to avoid KQ's all together and stick with soloing. X.x Which I should have done in the first place, given that I can't read as quickly as others, because most shorten their words. (It's not severe, but I do have dyslexia. So it's easiest to read when people write the best they could.)
That's just the beginning, now for the worst parts.

This is King Slime, yeah, but I was the only cleric. I let people know my status, and the only party to invite me stayed with only one person. They abandoned the quest about halfway through.

Then, everyone relied on me with everything:
* They expected me to tank. I barely had as much HP as them, despite going full END and having only about 380HP. Others have over 500 and are in there.
* They expected me to heal everyone constantly. I don't think they wanted to use their HP potions and stones. Not to mention I can't catch on to everyone as quickly as they want, with the cool off time, having to heal myself, and fight as well. Still, despite not having any people who didn't bail in the party, I checked over players, healed those who needed it. Guess what... "Dont heal me noob."
* Then they expected me to reply upon all of this. Foolish me in trying to keep up.


This is the time of year when I usually catch styes or pink eye, so a lot went against me. Instead of realizing that one cleric handling 14 others and being expected to tank was a lot of work, and trying to help themselves just as much, they shouted and kept calling me a 'n00b.'
Which happened, even though I said that I couldn't tell what they were writing, and that I wasn't in the best of conditions. Here's some of the things I heard, some shortened for the point:
"n00b"
"newbie heal me"
"HEL ME!"
"cnt se undrstnd enlsh?" <- This took me a full minute, after the KQ, to read and decipher.
"F*ckin newb cleric. TANK!" at the same time as another was saying to heal them.

Being the only cleric stinks. Next time, if I'm the only cleric, I'm skipping out of there right away.
Or perhaps I only got stuck with a bunch of jerks.
Yeah, I know a lot of the things going on with me (dyslexia, pink eye, styes,) are a good enough reason to stay away from MMORPGs in the first place, but I thought Fiesta was interesting enough to try. The sad thing was, I had a pretty good strategy before, which was shot down without saying anything, simply because there weren't enough clerics for it to work.

[undeadmith]

my worst KQ is actually not so wors as your or maiby it is

i wanted to do a KQ and i klicked participate and after 5 KQ started i could enter so then i wait for party (i'm a mage so i need clerics) then we went on i started powning monster and sudely there is a prince slime standing for me O_0 BAM half of my hp gonne me using stone caus clerics are to slow BAM MONSTER DEAD
we going further then sudenly a cleric heals me but i have full hp we go further me ded -__- i back and then king slims i attacking the tank dies king on me i stone me ded -__- O_0

[Marshal]

Mara is the worst KQ ever XDD

Ppl has spoiled it so many times that I cannot tell u which one has been the worst.

Get Gold Hill as soon as posible. :P

Edit: Well, I remember one where a knight (with a cleric healing him) keep luring fake maras and marlones when we got to the ship. Everoybody died, of course. Only me (mage), another mage and a cleric survived, so we had to give up.

[Hydr0]

Marshal Gold hill really good kq but hard to get it.
lucky me i live in israel and when i kq there u all sleep :)
so i can kq 3-4 times in day and 100% get in lol
but in the night impossibleeeeee

[Dragon_Ladysupreme]

Sounds like Hydr0 is lucky due to time zones.

You know, this makes a nice ranting/venting thread.

[Diagemi]

DragonLadySupreme, I read your post and it OMGZ'd me.
With everyone telling you to do everything - too bad you couldn't just do it solo!
MMO's are for everyone, don't let a bad run get you down. It's all about the people, they are what make it either a good time or a poor time. Luckily you can block asshats and change chat filters. XD!

Best of luck.

[iDraven]

My worst KQ was last night- there was at least 8 Mages, 4 archers, 2 warriors and 1 cleric, it was only the King Slime KQ but that's beside the point lol.

It was so bad that i ended up taking the initiative half way through with my Mage O_O;; one of the high level warriors who was leading the team had gone AFK or something.

when we reached the king slime most of the team was wiped out promptly, then there were two mages left (one of them was me).

I tried kiting a bit but was annihilated very soon after.

Most pointless KQ ever...though it was kinda fun, in an odd way.

[Jlyons]

Worst KQ experience? Hmmm... well, it doesn't compare to other experiences, but it was a bit of a nail biter.

All 15 of us spawn in the Mara KQ, forming our parties and such. As I'm taking a headcount of who's there... uh oh, I'm the only fighter. Big problem. My fighter's not built to tank. I don't even have the level 20 chest armor. So we get halfway through, and as I'm explaining to the team what's about to happen, one of the archers pulls Marlone right into half our team in their mushrooms. She dies, along with like 5 or so others. Panic sets in, as one of our team members is scared that no one can tank Marlone. The fact that at least half the team, if not more, is doing their first Mara KQ is also setting in. Disaster behind us (Marlone broke agro after the kills, as everyone else successfully scattered), I explain again what would happen and point out why doing something like that would get us all killed. I ask for a vitality scroll and tell them that I can tank it... sorta... if I can get one of those. One of the clerics obliges. After picking up a vitality scroll and using the shield scroll I already had, I find the ranger at it again. Only this time, the entire team's ready, scatters, and lets the archer die. Again. The moment she goes down, I pull Marlone on me, and, well, let's just say the 5 clerics in that KQ were the biggest reason we succeeded.

She tried that stunt one more time with a fake at the end before everyone was ready and died again. The clerics kept her dead, because on top of all that, she pulled a fake and tried to draw it right into our casters. She had no hearts left. She got what she deserved. :P

Despite that archer almost ruining it for us, we made it... barely. Barely as in under 4 minutes left.

That said, despite it being my worst KQ, it ended up being my most satisfying KQ win so far, because as easy as the team could've packed it in, no one left afaik. Instead of quitting, we pulled it together, focused, stopped worrying about the time remaining, and got the job done.

Well, that and my box contained a +4 green 2h sword and a blessed elrue. But that's beside the point. XD

I guess, based on the responses in this thread, I'm due for a really, really bad KQ soon. Hopefully not though. *knocks on wood*

Edit: Forgot my other "nail biter"... this one was actually a lot harsher than the first one.

My other "bad experience" would have to be a King Slime KQ. We had some serious infighting between one warrior and about half the team, in which he basically called everyone a noob for splitting the team in half. He said something to the effect of, if the team splits up, we're all guaranteed to die. Three others, including myself, informed him that we'd been a part of King Slime KQs in which we split at the first ramp and still succeeded with over 30 minutes to spare. He didn't care and continued to complain. Almost everyone was telling him to stop complaining and fight. He responded by bailing prior to King Slime.

But that's not the worst of it. We also had a mage who, like the archer in the Mara KQ I mentioned earlier, decided that he was capable of tanking/soloing anything on the map, and he attempted to do so without caring whatsoever for stretching the clerics' healing capabilities. Backline archers and mages were basically shifting their focus to that mage to keep him from dying.

So anyway, we make it to King Slime, and we're all resting... and on the corner of my screen, I see that same mage drawing King Slime. Not only did he aggro the king, he was making a beeline for the ramp, with almost the entire team in their mushrooms on said ramp.

In a matter of seconds, half our team is burning a heart. Within 3 minutes, we'd lost 6 more people due to death or bailing the KQ.

A minor blessing in disguise appeared though: as a few of the surviving team members was running in order to escape (though all the runners were ultimately killed during their escape attempt), they drew King Slime out of the summit area, leaving the final spawned slimes up there alone. At this point, we were down to 5 people remaining: 1 cleric, 1 warrior, 2 archers, and 1 mage. After 2 minutes debating whether or not trying to finish the KQ would be worth it, we developed a game plan: take down the remaining spawns first to determine if we could pull it off, and if we felt like we could do it, then try to take down the king. Seeing as how none of us had any hearts left, we knew that if either the cleric or fighter died, it was definitely over. Otherwise, we had a chance to pull it off.

Someway, somehow, even with a couple of slip-ups the tank had with holding aggro (both times, the king made a beeline for my archer, but I escaped both times, thanks to some well-timed spellcasting by the mage), we pulled it off with a little over 10 minutes remaining.

Of course, our boxes held nothing but trash, but we got the exp for completing the KQ, so at least we walked away with something worthwhile.

[MewMewLina]

I take offense to your character name...

[LaMarya]

Dragon_Ladysupreme... I feel your pain. You did just fine... they were absolute jerks.

Way too often clerics are expected to do everything at once and blamed when something goes wrong. Well gee... try it some time guys. Even when you get to be High Cleric with Revive.. there is a little thing called "cool down"... and it takes a lot of levels to begin to get that to a liveable level. No, I can't revive you 2 seconds after I revived the tank... and when I revive another cleric with the skill, I expect him/her to start using it...not run off and attack some random mob.

It is bad enough when you end up the only cleric in a KQ. It is worse when there are actual tanks.. good fighter types.. and the other clerics decide they need to attack.. leaving you to heal them AND the fighters.. and the rest of the group. Irritating to say the least.

Yes, I have had my share of unpleasant KQ experiences. I have also had some very good ones. If you get a good party, it can be a lot of fun. You just have to keep trying and hope for the best.

igns... way too many...
Teva..Serrana, Hawk Archer
Meerkat, High Cleric
Apoline.. Angua, Clever Fighter
many lower levels, may manage a WizMage sometime

[atkforce]

Ive had 2 horrible KQ's

First one was with my Fighter. We were doing Gold Hill and we only had 1 cleic... and he died right in the beginning. So we relied on each other until close to the last gate. The only survivers were me, 2 other fighters, and 1 archer.

My other bad KQ was when I got lagged out near the top of the hill on the way to kill the King slime. When I finally was able to get back in, I got back just in time to see the last person on our team run past me with the King Slime hot on his trail and kill him. I found out that all our warriors tried to tank... all at once, while our clerics were resting. Warriors died, the slimes that it summoned killed our mages, king AOE'd and killed our archers, and our clerics hardly had enough time to react before they were finished off.

[atkforce]

I know how ya feel Dragon_Ladysupreme, consequently, most people just dont understand that a cleric cant heal "everyone" at "every" given moment at "every" given time. Clerics seem to have the hardest time making anyone understand the fact that they cant always be there to help them. One other thing that needs to be drilled into the head of some players is the fact CLERICS HAVE COOLDOWNS TOO... I hate having to hear a poor cleric be bantered at cause everyone want to be ressurected even though they have all of thier lives and are too obnoxious to use them. If anything, that group should have been at least greatful that they had a cleric, rather than make you feel like you shouldnt do KQ's anymore.

[Marshal]

Marshal Gold hill really good kq but hard to get it.
lucky me i live in israel and when i kq there u all sleep :)
so i can kq 3-4 times in day and 100% get in lol
but in the night impossibleeeeee

Yeah, I agree. It's almost imposible to get in depending on the time. I have almost the same timetable as u, so I can get some of them easily. But if I wanna play at night, I 'll probably won't be able due to the fact that there are only 3 of them available (too bad, they should be increased).

Well, we have the same problem with events. :(

[LostDEwind]

The worst? Let see, how about getting stuck inside a pole and can't do a thing.

Second worst, during one Mara KQ, I was the only tanker, when we reach the ship my wife called me for dinner so I have to logout, leaving a bunch of player with my name in their KOS list :D

I think u longout is fine....
That was my worst and best KQ...
Although the reason is not u lah^^...

My worst KQ is in Mara KQ...
We rushed like always, till the legendnary marlone...
When we was fighthing the marlone...
A fighter... well heard from other ppl he seem to ruin many other KQ as well...
Which called Abdullah... he go to lure the mara... and ran back><
okay... fighthing with Marlone and Mara the result is almost half of us die...
then i go to lure the mara away...

Okay till here is still fine... then the nightmare begun...
We continue kill the marlone... after the palyer "Abdullah" being rez he lure the mara again... OMG... at the end almost everybody died...
Then the tanker team... well...i think they are furios or somehow...
they log out...
so we left 10person...
For somehow we manage to kill Marlone and Mara...
The left ppl is some cleric i think there was three... 2 fighter... other mage and acher...
and the highest def and hp is me...
then some try to said that we cant make it...
and start to log out or go to suicide lol...
at the end we left 3 person lol...
Me, _LiYing_ and Topfighter...
1cleric and 2 fighter and the cleric(me) will be the tanker...
ok due to there was nothing to do...
so we continue "try" to finish it...
ya... we "try" to finish it...

At the end we manage to get to the boss there, and lure the real mara...
After reduce the mara 1/4 blood... times out...
After all 3 ppl damage output is hard to finish the KQ...

Although i used many scroll eat many potion...
But it was quite a pleasant exp as well...
Ya... teamwork is formed when crisis happen...

if the achers and mages didnt give up i thinks we could finish it...

ps: special thaks to those(Topfighter and _LiYing_) didnt give up easily and stand on till the end...
And i make a decision next time if i see Abdullah is in the same KQ i log out first lol....

[Dragon_Ladysupreme]

So our general issues either have one of the following happening:

Unable to get in.
Being the only cleric, or having only one.
Some idiot rushing and causing more problems than necessary.


Dang. >.<
Maybe I'll try a KQ again in the future. I just reached Lv 17 though. (Perhaps I'll wait till pink eye cuts down.)

[melodyff]

My worst exp in KQ just on yesterday. i'm a 23 cleric . i hv around 6XX sp. While in every KQ, i will drink pots to refill sp except all the team go rest. but last day.......it really made me very angry.......

Yesterday, i joined the KQ and found that only me was cleric. When started, some ppl rushed in front....and some ppl seems no experience in MARA KQ that they're going to attack the optional monsters = = I try to stop them but no one listened to me. I cannot heal or rev everyone in same time but many voice asked "heal.heal me.rev"... etc. = = that circumstance was foolishly chaotic. After then, i ran to join the ppl whom rushed too far, (i cannot find them in map cause no one party me) i only ran front but made a foolish mistake that i had ran a wrong way = = I immedately told them ill get back soon and asked them wait for me. While i nearly arrived, i heard a guy said "our cleric AFK, no healer..etc " something like that complained...XD
While joined them, first i need to do is rev & heal. but suddenly many voice asked heal agin.....coz of they were attacking mara (first part) !!! How about the result? Thats my first time failed at that part and send back by system in Mara KQ= =
I wish whom come to KQ would know what's a team work!
I wish whom come to KQ would undetstand cleric also have cool time after heal or rev!!!

[KonataIzumi]

My worse Mara KQ? Lost count. Only things I bothered to remember are the following:

1)There're very few smart clerics.
They resurrect their teammates, like archers and mages and other low leveled fighters who seem to always jump around walking in circles doing nothing. They don't put TANKERS, OTHER CLERICS WITH REVIVE and people with NO hearts left on priority to resurrect.

2)Rusty Tanks.
Tanks who can't tank properly, not using taunt and etc.

3)Suicidal Bunch
Crazy mages and archers pulling fake maras/marlones OR when someone else is sacrificing himself/herself to pull away a fake mara to the otherside of the outer ship where people pull the bosses to, they attack the fakes and ends up pulling it back, wasting the effort of the person who lured it off.

4)Rotten Maggots.
Leechers who sit on their *** without doing anything.

[dericcyk]

my worst slime KQ, all died at king, i think that was my first KQ
my worst mara KQ, 1) some stupid archer lured 3 fake maras
2) Some stupid mages pulled back some fake maras being pulled away
3) Some people who don't know how to understand english

My best Mara KQ = last standing cleric (me), 1 good tanker, 2 or 3 mages/archers that was sweet.

Note : As cleric always try to find the highest hp tanker and party him first, then party mages and archers as backup. That way you will almost always get to finish your quests for KQ.

[aegrimonia]

I think i was on the last poster's KQ, with THREE fake maras being pulled by some idiot who swore up and down he knew what he was doing.. so i let him pull..

and he pulled at first two, then THREE fake maras..

I pulled two back accross the boat and died.. then got left to dry back there with no hearts left, they killed mara and won.. and i didn't even get a thanks for getting rid of two maras for them.

[SweetPie]

I had several bad KQ experiences but i will share one real bad one during my the MARA quest.

When everyone was warping out, everyone was asking for party. Like usual, more people sit around to ask party and no one is creating so to prevent incidents i had several times (soloing and mind you, i am an archer) i created the party. So everyone was discussing and talking on who to tank, whether to rush or to slow and etc. We spent like a good 5minutes just hanging around there.

I guess some of the participants got frustrated then some decided to move off and others follow suit. While rushing, few of the participants died because of the rush, few of the participants stopped and fight and most of us, simply have no idea on what to do, whether to stop and help or to just simply ignore.

By the time we reached the main mara and marlone, we are only left with 1 tanker, 2 archers, 2 mages and 1 cleric. So the poor tanker tank but because of his level, he cannot withhold the damage attack from the mara and cleric did not have enough time to heal and res him. In the end, we broke agro and mara just massive kill everyone in that area.

I guess what the problem with mara quest is that people are always not cooperative enough, cannot decide what style to go for and how should they approach. Of course there are fabulous groups which i had been to and what they had was the above mentioned.

Penny for a though?

[dericcyk]

hmm no i don't think we were in the same KQ, we lost that KQ because of the stupid archer and the other stupid mages who keep dragging mara back to the main fighting area

[cale92]

Finished one Mara with less than 5 seconds left, cos of some idiot pulling fakes over and over again.
