Adamaster Summoning

[Dumluk Derptroll]

Hi Guys,

 

 I woke up early today. Jumped on a toon parked at Adamaster ritual to see what kind of clock I had for 16 easy merits. He was ready to summon. So, I announced it in LFG. "Adamaster ready for summon". I jump up to get some coffee to come back to see a couple people have shown up. I look around to see a level 4 hovering off the platform furthest from Ada summoning him. Pop, there he is. Total crap show after that.

So, I send him a chat that that was a rotten thing to do, so I get back "you are right...asking for more people to come to zone to spawn monster and then not offering to team up so everyone can get badge/merits...it IS a rotten thing to do...glad you agree".

Question: Is there some unwritten rule or obligation to team up people if you announce? Might be easier to log on other accounts and multibox solo it.

I do see people saying "Ada in x minutes, not inviting" or some such from time to time as well as for other GMs/events. So, I guess that may be the closest to a "precedent" for things like that. That being said, the other person was a massive douche.

yes.

 

Rule:  do whatever you F-ing want.  Free World.  F everything correctness, they are all selfish shitheads, leftists, rightists, centrists, badgers, meriters, and the F-ing pedestrians that knock you out of the way too!

I think my rule would probably be: get coffee, go pee, etc. first, then announce xyz.
 
But I'm not generally the one announcing, I just watch for the announcements.

i always assume positive intent as maybe the person is lower level and hoping a 50 will pop on to assemble the team.  Or the person is just not comfortable leading.

Personally I will make a butthead of myself and form a group good or bad and not afraid to make mistakes or fall flat on my face.

It's an hourly event.

There are polite or courteous ways of summoning & fighting Ada, and there are selfish ones.  I wouldn't say there are any "obligations", though...

So we shouldn't RP summon Adamastor to feed him players then?  Gotcha.

Based on the very limited amount of information in the OP, I'm not sure how I feel about this instance.

 

Even so: I really can't imagine a solo level 4 having a reason to spawn Adamastor... level 4 characters can bare get through Ouroboros to Echo: DA anyway. (I know it is 'trivial' but I feel like I spend so little time below level 8 I can't imagine how Adamastor became a priority for a solo level 4 player!)

 

As for the missing pieces of information... normally there is some amount of in zone broadcast and/or tells after such an announcement... before summoning... even if it is just "please wait", so if none of this happened... everyone was salty.

 

TBH: the only thing I see (in recent times)  about the Admastor summons that I find annoying is the player(s) who camp their multiple alts there, and resummon it every hour just to multiibox it with 3+ Lore pets. I don't care if they "politiely announce" their intention to resummon... its the Nx16 merits they want, a courtesy announcement isn't absolving the greed.

Level 4 can ask someone drop an Ouroboros portal at Ms. Liberty. People will do it. Run around back and port into Echo: DA. You've still got your free jetpack so they can fly there with no issues. Join a 50's group and score some merits. I've never done it, but that's as easy as it could get.

Easier than putting up with the BS, honestly.

And what is a solo level 4 bringing to Echo Dark Astoria to help with Adamastor? And why would the solo level 4 be the one to summon it?

Ok, bit odd.

 

I've been a lowbie in KR and called for help with the Three Paladins, saying "hey peeps, I'm only lvl X, but Pally is up", I reckon that's different.

Probably the same kind of person that gets mad when a task force fills and they send nasty messages to the person that formed the team
