After 5 deaths, 3 d/c's and 5 hours of play I finally got rank 10 in bastok !!
Quick recap:
Went to gustav to fight the gigaplasm.
Some people melee'd, mob did AOE several times.
Died
got raised
died instantly from another AOE.
got raised
medded
got killed again by AOE.
medded to full (at this point over 9 people had died, some more than once and we were down to the last 2 microplasms)
nuked a microplasm because i thought we were going to kill one to get it out of the way -.-, i was wrong, died again.
Finally beat it!!!
Got item, got out.
Flagged 9-2, went to zvahl.
Got to the point where things start to aggro and I d/c.
Rebooted everything in my computer room 3 times, finally got connection back.
logged in
spawned up by some quadavs, d/c again.
reoot everything again.
logged in (20 minutes later from first d/c approx).
PT was waiting, i guess other people d/c'd too.
Made it to the top, finally.
Our PT went in first.
We beat it with 1 casualty, beatdown, who did an excellent job tanking.
Went to go in a second time for other people, WHM couldnt enter battlefield.
Assumed escape would take us outside ... nope out to xarcabard.
Warped everyone, warped myself, changed to whm/thf.
ported to altep, started running to outpost.
Got Aggro, no big deal {Flee}.
Get 10 steps away from outpost, d/c again. (now 2:30 AM)
**** it, logged off.
Logged on this morning 7:00 AM ... to a corpse ;;
apparently the aggro caught up to me while i was d/c ing.
released, teleport altep, outpost warp, talked to iron eater.
DONE!
thats it in a nutshell, was definatley an experience but i am so happy to have it done.
Many thanks to those that helped even though they didnt need it and to the others that got it Congrats!!
