Fiesta Online’s own Murphy Laws.

Apr 302011

Ever wondered why you (erm… almost) quit the last time?

It’s actually NOT you…, being a bad player.

It’s the Law of Murphy crawling in your account. So let’s begin explaining.

KQs First.

Alone

Your guildmate entered the first KQ and exited with Victory and blue item.
You manage to enter the KQ but there are NOT enough people to finish the boss.
You are the only tank and there are no clerics.
… or there are clerics, but they fight and die instead of healing.
They die exactly 3 times before the boss fight and quit the KQ.
… or they refuse to heal and call you n00b.
… or they don’t speak English.
… and the few words they know are STFU, GTFO and all variations of n00b.
… and they adore annoying you.
The only cleric knowing what’s expected of him is AFK, because his mom is calling him for dinner.
… he arrives in the end, but enters different party.
… and/or refuses to heal and revive you.
There are only clerics in the KQ.
… including yourself.
There are only mages in the KQ.
… and you are one single lousy fighter or ranger.
Everything is alright and none of the above is true but:
… noone is inviting you to party.
… and/or you DC.
You never manage to make the last blow when you need boss-kill quest.
… neither anyone in your party.
… and all of you actually needed this.
… and no one shouted “Let our party make the kill”.
… or no one listened.
… or someone from other party said “Ooops, sorry”.
You level Up, before being able to enter the KQ again to kill the boss.

Morning PVP KQ is having 4-th and 5-th person entering in the last 1 minute before start.
… or it is just You. Alone. And everyone in your guild sleeps.
… or is not high enough to enter.
The PVP roster says you are first. But in the end you are third.
Everyone wants to AFK the PVP when you want to duel.
Everyone is AFK when you have bad connection and frequent DCs.
If you want to AFK to grab some cheap XP, you DC 100% of the time.
… or the PvP bugs and leaves you without XP.
… or the PvP bugs and DCs everyone.
When you manage to get your connection back, the PVP is over
… or you are taken to Elderine/Uruga before it’s over.
… or you are locked out alone in the PvP room.
… and the GMs are still sleeping.
You are the first to die when you are buffed to the teeth, because that guild you hate too much is team-mobbing you.
… or It’s your own wife/husband, backstabbing you with 2-3 critts. (Hi hun, missed me?)
You managed to get the hammer half second before 3 rangers gang-bang-power-shot you.
You managed to get the hammer but You forgot to use speed scroll.
Everyone else is having Speed Scroll III.

No one is around when you need party.
The only ppl willing to party you are low level XP leachers.
(They even offer money. 10 silver :D)
The most profitable party quests and dungeons are hardest to find party for.
You have good party, but all paladins are … in Narnia.
In a rough fight, your healer always falls first.
… and you following him of course.
… or you all died, but he hasn’t put a single Skill point in Revive cast time.
… and you are all 5 maps away from city.
… and no one is married to anyone, so he/she can use Summon.
… and there is a level 105 priest from warring guild gloating around you.
… not willing to help of course.
Everyone in your party needs his bladder size checked by a physician.
… or buy a catheter and link it to the WC.
… or learn not to write “AFK”, when she actually plans to read a chapter from Narnia in the WC.
When you get something good, everyone wants it.
… for his alt.
… or for his friend he promised to.
Every time there is a good drop for your own class, you either don’t need it, have better or outleveled it long ago.
… and can’t fetch a good price.
All the good drops are not for your class.
… and/or your alt is still to low.
… and/or someone else wants it.
Every time you almost found all your quest drops/kills, you get ditched by your party.
… because everyone else’s already found them.
… or because there is TV show starting somewhere.
… or because it’s dinner time in that part of the world.

Alone

The map is never empty.
If it was empty five minutes later it’s not.
… there is high level ranger with full party of newbies for Power leveling.
… I really mean FULL party.
Suddenly, they need the same quest drops.
… or just pretend to.
You are stalked by a newbie player with party invitations and begging.
… when you finally accept, just to make him stop he enters his mushroom and goes AFK.
… or even asks you to level him a bit while he eats breakfast.
… and he has NOT the same quests, so you can have his drops too.
You are stalked by a KS idiot who claims it’s “his map”.
You are stalked by some “Certified yellow bar clicking expert” who gathers all herbs and ores before you.
… and loves to gloat.
You die.
… you shout “Please revive @ B4, 2 minutes”
… and there is no cleric in the same map.
… or she is level 19 and does not have revive.
… or arrives too late.
… or asks for 100 silver.
You are really PISSED TO DEATH but all of the above are members of Exhibition guilds.
… or you are not Admin.
… or your guild master is away/offline/in Narnia/wherever.
… and suddenly a GM pops of nowhere and says you should calm down or he will ban you for 1 day.

Empty handed

Your spot is always taken by some spam bot or a newbie selling tier 1 potions.
You have a full inventory and no one is buying your stuff.
You entered one less zero on an item evaluated to 900 silver.
You sold an item evaluated at 9 gold for a merely 9 copper, because you did not click the right box.
You sold your own +9 weapon because you equipped some cheap level 10 to show off.
… To a NPC.
Your overpriced scrolls are never in demand.
When they are in demand, you actually under priced them already
… and someone bought all 5 stacks.
… for coppers.
Some idiot is selling the same as you on half price.
… beside your mushroom
… and is actually named his shop “Cheaper than him”
Your guild master started a Guildwar while you were in shop.
… and of course you were killed.
… and again.
… and again.
… and few more times in the respawn area.
… And the GMs were not around.

When you really need them, they are … in Narnia.
When you are killed in your shop, they are … in Narnia.
When you are killed in respawn area, they are … in Narnia.
When there are scammers in marketplace, they are … in Narnia.
When there are gold selling spam bots in the market, they are … in Narnia.
When you are in need to kill the Mini Dragon, all 3 of the GMs entered the KQ too.
…, to check what’s buggy with the rewards.
… and of course refuse to fight the MD or buff anyone.
When you are unfair in Guildwar, they are … badger chewing your ancle.
When you have killed someone in shop, they are … badger chewing your ancle.
When someone provoke you, they are … badger chewing your ancle.
When you accidentally kill someone in respawn area, they are … badger chewing your ancle.
