Tier 4 Syndrome

People who have Tier 4 Syndrom think they're Cool as Ice
Most of us have been to Tier 4 and some of us haven't. For those of you who haven't I will explain what Tier 4 syndrome is. Tier 4 syndrome is a mental disease one gets from reaching rank 40 and it instantly goes to their head. The effects of Tier 4 syndrome don't show until they create an alt, whether it be on the same side/server or different side/server.

Some effects include but are not limited to; Cockiness, stupidity, and a huge ego. Since they've been to Tier 4 they are instantly better than all the lowbies out there since they've "experienced" most of the game. It doesn't matter whether they were any good at their class or good at anything, they just place themselves higher than you on the smart scale. Often when two people who have created alts collide in a debate it's usually to show the alpha male of who knows more about the game. Making the winner think that he's the most popular guy out there.

If you haven't been to Tier 4 but have seen someone from tier 4 giving you orders don't mind it [unless they are the warband leader]. Most likely they are wrong. For instance in Tier 2 if they tell you to rush the kings room instead of pulling champions 1 by 1 it's because they are too clueless about the tier below them that they think anything that you can do in tier 4 you can do it in the lower tiers.

So, they may know more about Tier 4 but they don't know as much about the lower tier that you're in than you do. That my friend is Tier 4 Syndrome.

Also, there is no cure.

15 Minutes Of Fame

Put down the musical instruments and DO SOMETHING!
Zerging. The word to describe what we were doing to order in T1 Nordland. We pushed them into their warcamp. I safely setup ontop of the hill as I continued bombarding them with flickering red fire. The next thing I knew we wiped and the chat filled with "Who pulled the guards?", "Omgomogmogmogmgomgomgomg," and "WTFNUBs". Notifying me of what happened.

Although this isn't my first time getting wiped by guards in orvr, especially in T1. But, it got me to thinking about the scenarios I got in on my T4 Zealot. Someone would get pulled or walk up a little to close and the guards just insta-raged and chained agroed on everyone in the scenario until everyone was dead. If the guards are so powerful why the hell don't they fight alongside us? Why are we fighting just to get one shotted by a lazy guard who only attacks when he rages?

So, if you want to people to notice you don't try to heal them good, dps them down, or tank the whole group. Just run into those guards and watch everyone shout your name. Then you have your 15 minutes of fame.

My Squig Can Tank

Planes aren't Tanks either.
Hunters Vale. A T1 dungeon filled with gloom effect. Axe and I decided we'd try doing a run today to get the almighty powerful stag cloak! But, the hard part was to come. Finding a group willing to fight along side the best destro. Well, after about an hour we found 2 healers, a dps, and a tank [The other 2 dps were Axe and I]. We hopped in that shiny glowing portal and prepared our eyes for the gloom ahead.

We entered the dungeon all fine pulled the first couple of mobs to find out that our tank is offline. It didn't seem to matter since we kited the champs around till they were dead. After that we kicked our tank and went to find a new tank.

In T1 it seems everyone is a tank. We got messages from squigherders, shamans, zealots, and every class you can be except for an actual tank class. The messages varied from "I can tank good." to "You need a squig?" We laughed the comments away as we tried to pass each mob without a tank. Needless to say we failed and gave up.

Let me put this out there, you aren't a tank unless you picked the tank archetype. No matter what anyone says. When I'm looking for a tank I don't want a dps dok who said he solo tanked a wb of order, or a squigherder who claimes to have 5000 armor. Sure they might be great feats but you lack the tank skills. So, when someone is looking for a tank don't message them saying "My squigs can tank."

NO EXCEPTIONS

We had as much luck as this guy.
About five days ago Vavinater decided to resubscribe into Warhammer to play along side all of us. He already knew that we had transferred to another server [Iron Rock]. So, he went to transfer his character but beforehand we had to figure out if he was unsubscribed for 90 days.

After looking for hours around the account information page and trying to find past billing information we resorted to googling on how to find out. Although, we were dumbfounded when no results where found. We had as much luck as looking for a needle in a hay stack.


Anyways, we got lazy and decided to just phone the company. So, after we waited 20 minutes of the most awesome songs we get through and found out we phoned the wrong support line. After putting us on hold for another 5 minutes we got transferred through. After another 20 minutes of awesome hold music we got to talk to the guy.

It turns out he missed the 90 day marks by 4 days. So, the guy tells him he's going to send it up to Mythic and they should contact him in 1-3 days.

2 Days later he gets notified by Mythic that they will not allow him to transfer. So, NO EXCEPTIONS to the law of Mythic. Whoever came up with the idea of "you want to transfer to play with your friends? Then don't pay us for 90 days." Should really stop to think about what he just did.
