Got kicked from Channelworks for being a fresh lvl 65

HK37AYPJ74 · July 2016

I got kicked from Channelworks several times today. I was told I'm not supposed to gear up in that dungeon? But the dungeon is labeled "Gear Up". Why else would people run those dungeons?

My guess is maybe they are running it in hopes it will drop a catalyst for the kyra event, or for feedstock since tthe feedstock event is still going on.

CW is still supposed to be a "gearing up" dungeon, the people you encountered were just rude I guess.

But, CW (in my opinion) isn't the best place to gear up. Since you are a fresh 65, you get two quests: an island of dawn quest and a set of dungeon quests. The island of dawn quest should be the fastest way to grab your dreadnaught gear (the first set of gear you need after idoneal), without all the RNG and elitist people. I believe it also includes free innerwear for you, as well as a bunch of enchanting mats to begin enchanting it ^^

You can find the start of these quests in Highwatch.

I've being kicked with my slaughter sorc once. People are hard to understand sometimes.

As Pinopy stated, if you are being kicked from runs while it is during this Kyra's Catalyst event it is because they do not want to burn a run without a catalyst dropping. The only other reason could be your crystals being incorrect - usual quadrality of Focused, Bitter/Spiteful, Savage, and a Carving - or worse, lower than Niveot level crystals.
And yes, I have seen people running around in Slaughter or even Starfall gear with Concaches...

People still think that healers slow down Channelworks as "the healer doesnt do damage". Unfortunately, the dont understand the math behind debuffs, buffs and mana charge. Some people are not even able to adapt to higher mana available and run their standard rotation with full mana.

Channelworks was and still is the place to gear up. Of course Pino said that you get Dreadnaught for free through the main quest on Island of dawn. But CW still is one of the easiest dungeons that require no heal nor tanking. Even if you'd have an absolute clueless newbie, he'd not significantly slow down your party as well as he wont be able to kill the run like e.g. Kalivans where people happily jump into the water, throw themselves into charge or run away from the damage split to let the healer/tank die.

So being kicked you were just unlucky to meet the wrong people.

In my case i think was cause of event or they just disliked sorc. Right crystals and etchings, and it's been like kicked the exact second after a reasonably quick loading time.

Ok, I will check out the IoD quest. I didn't know it would give me a set of dreadnaught gear, thanks!

This is depressing to hear. I was also leveling a sorcerer, archer, and warrior but it seems they aren't very popular and may get kicked if there is another archer/warrior, or just for being a sorcerer?

People don't like running with 2 warriors since edge isn't shared, and 2 archers because Velik's Mark doesn't stack.

As for sorc, I think people just dislike them damage wise. I haven't played with a sorc in any endgame dungeon to see the DPS however.

If you don't have proper crystals, gear, or do as some people say then be prepared to be kicked from ims or rejected from groups. I've never experienced being kicked though, at least not multiple times as it's only happened twice over ~3 years. Channelworks is one of those dungeons people are probably worst for when it comes to attitude because they for some reason think sitting around for geared dps is 'faster' when they could have just done 4x runs while they're waiting. Even with 1 person basically leeching during my cws the bosses still die fairly instant on my Berserker, so I honestly don't see why people are doing this.

because people are eager, annoying and they dont have the time for " slow " they way

in kiras madnes you see "LFG CW x 16 fast Run Imperator +15 only "
...... some dude say " CW is no the best way to gear up"

sorry, but in kallivan Cahllenger and ChannelWorks you can enter in idoneal set and cruxes, sorry, but the line quest gave you, sorry but is the first dungeon lv 65 you do, sorry but is totally eager say you cant do cw if you no are imperator +15

is like " Why people do DFNM is no the better way to fe Slaugter, better way is SSNM"
............................................................

and sorry, but if you want idoneal innerwear, you need to do dungeos quest ...................................

do IoD quest you get a full set/accessories, 160 good alkahest (use only when you get +9 masterwok), and when you have all set +9 masterwork, do some arena to get tokens and buy armor/weapon to use on enchant +10/12 (that way you dont need to buy masterwork Alkahest)
About CW, i think i got kicked only 2 times when was you got steadfast tolken in there.

Just a rude group. Don't mind them and requeue. If they're on your same server troll them with a side character :^)

It isn't the best way to gear up being that you have the chance of getting constantly kicked, like OP did, and if you're not kicked there is no guarantee that your glove or your boot will drop, and if someone else is there who needs it, then you will have to roll against him. Not to mention it doesn't drop jewelry, making IOD the best, because it includes all of that and more.

CW isn't a bad way to gear up, but it's not as definite as killing a few BAMs for a guaranteed drop of all of the set, plus the jewelry, AND a box of enchanting materials to get started.

And what?

How weren't the past ones full of rng? Having more items in it doesn't make it any more or less rng than past ones. CW also takes ~2 minutes to do, so why wouldn't they try getting an effortless catalyst?
