I just made the biggest mistake I think ever in L2 last night. I don't even want to play right now because of it. I've had "omg so stupid" moments before, like buying a EAC for EWC price, crafting a silver mold for 3 mill, that kind of thing. This is easily something I nearly cried about.
It's the subclass quests, Fate's Whisper to be exact. I haven't gotten exp in probably 3 weeks because of this. I started camping Cabrio, waiting hours upon hours to find the spawn (I'm talking like 8+ easy). First time, enemy clan was there, would get pk'd if I logged in. Camped it again, ran into a friendly clan and got it. Yay! Then went to camp Hallate. I stick an alt up there to watch it and log out my main. No one is in the room with me. I wait and wait. I log in my main for literally 5 mins, switch to look up a quest, come back and I've been killed. I Brez myself with the alt, log out again. The enemy clan comes up with 3 people to get the boss as well. It's a port week so as the boss is about to be taken down my clan comes in and rolls the other 3 guys, I get the box. Woot! Don't have to double camp this time. We skip up to 11 with the farmers and get Longhorn also.
Then I get myself and my alt back to Kernon's floor, again logging out the main. I wait easily 10+ hours in total. At one point I logged in to check and see a bunch of dead people there. Log in the main, rez everyone up. 10 mins into it, the same enemy clan shows up, kills me. *sigh* Brez again, log out. When the boss shows up I PM the friendlier raid groups to please omg kill this thing. I stealth it this time and log in when it's half dead to get the box, not chancing another war death.
Then it's time for the Arrogant quest search. One day I do giants cave (because I need help) and run all the boxes. Another day I do 7th floor TOI, don't get the bloody fabric in about an hour of actual hunting the shamans and overlords (not including prep and travel time there). I miss Baium that week because I couldn't get the fabric in time. I get up there another day (non port week, takes forever) and get it like 2 hours. Slowly work up to the angel vortex, log out. Stay up late for that.
Next day, silent step an alt from 1st floor to 13th, log out. The day of Baium's spawn I log it in and wait. And wait. I detag my main just to lessen the chance of missing the spawn. I don't even join a group of friendlies at first because they have an EE and I am so not chancing a party recall, sorry. I have things to do so I run up and down the stairs in my house to check on it every 15 minutes or so, I'm GETTING BAIUM **** IT. He spawned about 6 hours past his time from last time. The raid groups all run up the steps and crush around the vortex.
Suddently I see the raid group vanishing at an alarming rate into the vortex. I log in my main, and port in, and I'm IN. OMG Baium is right there, I'm stuck in a mass group of other people but I AM THERE. I will have this **** quest over in minutes!! Weeks and hours of waiting OVER FINALLY! I see Baium was woken up 2 seconds after I ported, omg that was close!. I open my inventory, right click the pippete knife, close inventory and try to move. I can't, but I have around 15+ people surrounding me so I just wait, Baium is starting to stand up, I can't even see my char but I'm there so who cares. All I see is Baium, and I'm finally going to finish this thing.
My screen goes black and my stomach drops, I'm back in ADEN. [censored] what the hell happened? I look at my system messages, "use scroll of escape..." WHAT??? A SCROLL OF ESCAPE??? I scan all my hot bars, I have no scrolls there, what on earth... I open inventory.... and I had a SOE right above the pippete knife I thought I had equipped.
I was right there, and misclicked a regular SOE instead of the knife, was so worked up to finally get into baium I didn't read my system messages. I didn't notice the SOE going off in the crush of people, all I saw was the quest ending as Baium was standing up and I was getting ready to go wack him when people moved. Easily the stupidest thing I've ever done in this game, bar none.
I'm so on break atm, can't even bring myself to log in. The fact that I made the mistake instead of someone just PKing me makes it that much more horrible and stupid.
