No Sage Incursion Carry Sign Up for Next Month, so plan accordingly

willrun4adonut · June 14

I have decided that I won’t be doing any more saga incursion carries, so if you were planning for a slot for next month for saga, you will have to make other plans.

I originally started out with the goal of just seeing if I could do it when the first saga came out, which was do-able. For the next saga, I decided that I would be doing it for another reason [which only two people ever asked about strangely] and decided to keep doing it for that reason.

But now the fun and joy of helping others has been slowly taken away. I have requirements/rules that I request of people, because, let’s be honest, does anyone actually like spending 45+ hours a month during saga on just incursions, and I have it done to the fastest way possible. Not following them makes it take longer, and thus wastes my time. But I have had too many people complain, and now it is no longer fun. Here are some examples:

1) Going ahead of me and taking my hacks so I can’t get any [one person even did this 4 times on separate runs]
2) Saying the time was wrong [even though they signed up]
3) saying I wasn’t on at the set time because they’re in a different time zone [why I put Pacific time zone in there]
4) Yelling [or the best you can do so on chat] at me and saying it’s easy so I should carry them in sector 6 and not just sector 7 [which is an additional hour since there are 10 more zones]
5) Dropping them after telling them that they kept taking the wrong path, taking my hacks before I got there, and then, after dropping them, them having the audacity to call me out on global saying I’m a scammer, that they recorded the fight, and were going to share it on their YouTube channel. Luckily, I had built up enough good will on global that no one believed them, they told him that he was complaining about getting free help, then we all had a laugh when I posted the screenshots of him not following directions on my small YouTube channel quickly [with his name removed].
6) People trying to take other people’s spots and saying that they signed up with the wrong name
7) Someone sending me over 200 friend requests in-game, on discord, sign-up emails and forum notifications.
8) The first day of the last saga, someone didn’t follow directions three zones in a row. I didn’t drop them because I was seeing if a carry was even possible and needed data. When I asked him if he read the directions, he said, “No. Was I supposed to read all that?” It just annoyed me.
9) And on Tuesday [which was the last straw as I was looking for a partner for my last friendship crystal for the month], someone on Discord DM me asking for help. They said that they can get to room 22, and just needed a partner. I told them that I only do carries because of time, and that waiting for a partner takes longer than me just running through it myself while the ‘partner’ follows. I explained that most fights are done in about 7-11 seconds, and that those who actually needs a partner just make me wait at the boss. That my time was important and that I do it to help people, and if he’d want a carry I would, but I don’t want a partner that does fights. They then didn’t ask for help, but rather said “I don’t know what kind of ego trip you’re on, but it’s not that hard. Anyone can do it. Especially Valiants like us.” I wanted to reply that if anyone could do it, why did he even need a partner and just do solo, but I just left the conversation.
10) Just something weird, but uncollected and below players telling me how to play while carrying them and telling me which hacks and champs to use. I know they were just trying to be nice/helpful/keep a conversation going, but . . .

****My favorite though was someone who signed up, but wanted to do Sector 6 so he could awaken his Herc. His PI was too low, so we had to exit and I told him to add boosts and try again. He kept sending the invites, so I could not select the sector. He selected 5 again because he said he couldn’t get sector 6. He didn’t boost up the second time, so we repeated. The third time, he boosted, but only did an attack boost. The 4th time, he got it correct, selected sector 6 finally, and then took the hack that was on my path. I dropped him [as it had now been 15+ minutes and didn’t want to waste any more time]. He then sent me messages saying that it wasn’t fair because he had spent money to purchase crystals to get Herc so he could awaken him. I took a screenshot of his profile to make sure that he wouldn’t sign up again, and if he did, I would drop him.

Later, he somehow was on the forums at the correct time and got an open slot that someone had dropped. However, he knew that he should change his name, so he bought a name change token and changed it. I didn’t say anything until zone 25 and asked him if he thought I didn’t know it was him [as he had the exact same champs and PI]. He said he was hoping I didn’t. But since he was honest, and I appreciate his effort to ‘conceal’ himself, he got his awakening gem for his Herc as we finished zone 25.

TL;DR – If you were hoping for a saga incursion carry next month, too many people have sucked the fun out of it, so there will not be one. You will need to find another plan [if anyone even cared about this post].

People can be turds. Thanks for not being one and helping the community out as much as you have. Enjoy your rest.

ccrider474 · June 14

Sucks man. I carry randoms on global and I feel every bit of this post. Obviously, nowhere near as hard core as you did. Sucks so much that those you were willing to help are the ones that treat you like trash. Even though I never needed nor asked for you service I appreciated the effort you did to help our newer members. Good job doing what you did and just enjoy the game now.

It is awesome what you did for the community i thought about signing up at one point since i suck at incursions but it was late in the saga maybe with a break you can find that fun again

Rayven5220 · June 14

For everything you do for people, you would figure they would care enough to pay attention when you have clear rules about carries, but alas, here we are....
Stupid people ruin it for the good people, and honestly, I don't blame you.
You can only do so much before it will suck the fun out of it for you and when it stop becoming fun, what's the point?

summerdeer · June 14

It’s really sad that, because some people couldn’t follow the rules, you’ve decided to stop doing saga incursion carries. But honestly, you’ve done so much for the community, and I know a lot of people, including me, truly appreciate it.
I just want to say thank you personally, because your help made a huge difference for me. I was able to reach Valiant when I did because of your carry, and I’m genuinely grateful for that. It’s unfortunate too, because I was planning to sign up again next month, but I totally understand your decision.
At the end of the day, you gave a lot of your time and energy to help others, and that’s something people won’t forget. Thanks again for everything you’ve done.

Sure. If the hacks stay consistent next month, Angela, Odin will be a beast, though there are lots of good combos. But if you plan to carry anyone, Angela will be the main focus.

Giantwalrus56 · June 29

It can be a sad day when the realization of the FACT that most, not all, but most people suck. Even more so when you're trying to do something helpful

Gamer · June 29

Totally understandable when people don’t read why even sign up in the first place. I don’t get it. You did amazingly. Now use those hours. To touch grass jk. Hav a great day time.

Thanks for all you've done, Will! I did a run with you a couple months back and had a blast! Hope to see you out there!

Haha oh man, you’re better than me, best believe I would have dropped him right at the zone 25 boss and said “good luck, just use some revives”

Thanks for your contributions to the battlerealm Sir Donut

You have done the community a great service and had great disservice done to you by those who least deserved your generously given time and effort.

BringPopcorn · June 30

Told you that you were too nice. They don't deserve you or the help you provide.

JessieS · June 30

Completely understandable. Have you considered instead of carrying people to share your knowledge by writing a guide with all the best combos of hacks and champions ? I don’t know why written guides have become a lost art recently . Everything seems to be really annoying YouTube videos

Badah · June 30

If anyone on this forum deserves a special title in-game, it’s @willrun4adonut , for all the summoners he helped along the way…

@KabamDORK can you make it happen?

Cap_Murica · June 30

@willrun4adonut Can't believe the audacity of these entitled a$$wipes.

Kingering_King · June 30

Greatest man on forums. So sad how people can be so mean to people actively caring and helping them.

Mine are different because I only do carries (mostly saga) , so I have to prioritize different things so I can handle the 3% degen per second on the boss nodes that a regular incursion run doesn't have to worry about.

There are lots of suggestions out there. The best thing if you're struggling is to show your roster and then myself and others can give advice as it's really roster dependent. @JessieS

GroundedWisdom · June 30

Thank you for all your help.

SirGamesBond · June 30

I need a carry in normal Incursion zone 25 in my alt account. ""Not saga"" as you said.

Matty_Ice · June 30

It never ceases to amaze me how people will trample on something good. You’re going out of your way to provide a free service to help people (and for whatever other reasons you did it), so people *should* be willing to follow your lead and rules.

I was never carried, but I want to say I have always admired your willingness to take the time to help people in the community every saga. Thank you for all your time and service for the community.

Did you get the title thingy you wanted @willrun4adonut?

Nope, and honestly the game will probably die before I ever do. I can only open five crystals a month. I'm currently at three titles, and need 25 and 50.

And I've been playing incurisons regularly for about 4 years.

Was a good write up. Send your yt here or dm it to me. Would be nice to see some od the vids you took. I honestly forgot about saga incursions as I do them the first day and forget about it till next one

I just wanted to say thank you for everything that you’ve done for me personally and the community at large. I really appreciate it and wish that others didn’t feel entitled to your time just because you were generous enough to help them.

U can suggest the saga champ - u would use so that who ever doesn't have that champ rankedup
- they can rankup before the saga incursion drops

It depends on the hacks that they add and remove, but it will be Angela WITH Odin, and then whoever else is needed. But again, how I run incurisons is also vastly different from how a solo run should be run (see above as already commented). Though I will say Angela will probably be many people's main champ.

There is a player on Discord who has been offering carries/working together the last week or so, so you may want to check there. I don't know his success rate.

Really sorry for what happened to you from these summoners if we can call them summoners....

When you carried me, it was awesome and I was really amazed on what you was doing. Also, I think I didnt mess anything and you could finish, so I could dupe Mr.Sinister ...thanks to you.

It's a lot of work for you, Omega Summoner and people just dont listen what you need to do the same you did when you go carry.

Thanks again Will

No Sage Incursion Carry Sign Up for Next Month, so plan accordingly
