Seriously I am really happy with the many people attracted to this game, but I can't even have a decent run on tier 2 anymore.

Who's experiencing the same?XD

Yeah, I've noticed that, a lot of proto shields running around.

Stop partying with randoms if

Stop partying with randoms if you want a decent Tier 2 experience? Or practice enough so you're fantastic at soloing the entire thing, including Danger Rooms and Arenas?

Maybe a flood of noobs

Maybe a flood of noobs explains the recent spike in rudeness and begging too. :(

That might also explain why

That might also explain why the AH has been flooded with people selling crap for ridiculously cheap. Someone is being impatient and undercutting things to the ground in an effort to get some extra crowns, although the volume suggests it might not be just the incoming newbies.

OM NOM NOM NOM heat? Have fun

OM NOM NOM NOM heat?

Have fun with them, nothing is really bad unless you gotta take on JK, and you don't have to take it on, you probably have all the tokens you need anyway.

I have no problems

I do Jk runs and keep my party open and when these so call new players join me I still do well I might die 1 or 2 times the whole Jk run only because of reviving my allies way 2 much, but I dont mind wasting ce to revive myself or have one of them revive me if they are alive. I look at it to be a challenge. Any "good player" can do t3 runs solo or even t2 jelly king solo if you want a challenge its better to have newer players in your party since you have to revive them half the time and still kill the monsters mainly alone, so its real fun =).

(Well I enjoy it and see how far I can go with them). For example, I did T3 with another friend who has t2 equips mainly we got to the core I had to use 2 revives on myself the whole time and we did arena's etc. it was a great experience my goal was to do the run without wasting any revives but those dam gremlins got me.

Friends and Guilds

Send a friend request to anyone you play with who is a good teammate. That way you'll build up a friend list that is full of people whose parties you want to be in. Then, check to see if any of them are in the dungeon with room for you to join before you join a random group.

Also, join a good guild and try to run with guildmates when possible. That's what I do. I don't think I've been in a pick-up group since preview.

Leeroooy Jeeeennkiiiiinss!

I'm relatively new (played about 24 hours) and I'm wearing wolver armour, use a branish and an autogun. People with the same armour set and same weapon level keep going "Leeroy Jenkins" on me. This makes it really hard to grind crowns for new gear due to me constantly reviving them. It's not my first time experiencing noobs since there were plenty of noobs on Monster Hunter Tri.

I wonder when people will learn that noob and newbie aren't synonymous.

Newbie is almost exclusively

Newbie is almost exclusively used to define a person who is new to the game; noob can also refer to someone who is new to the game, but is more used for people who are terrible at the game.

Definition of noob

It's not just about being terrible at the game, it's about the attitude as well. A noob will be terrible at the game, and basically ignore any advice on the grounds that he can play the way he likes and you can deal with it. There is also usually a sense of entitlement involved.

I like newbies, partying with them in T1 when I'm doing initial gate clears and teaching them proper strategy is fun. Noobs are the ones that run through spikes for no good reason and never bother to shield, even after you tell them.

SO yeah I didn't mean it in a negative way, just found it noticable, the flood of new players. Also njThug, nice way of seeing it. I really cant imagine myself doing even arena's all by myself. How the... do you guys manage to finish vanaduke all alone 0_o?
