I did somewhat the same for Dynasty. Overleveled, overequipped, watched guides. Felt the responsibility as a tank to perform well. And procrastinated because I had the wrong assumption it was difficult.
All went well.
But the point is that the only thing you can do is prepare well, you haven’t control over other people. There gonna be assholes, there gonna be toxic kids, but recognize they are out of your control. Not your responsibility. Not your problem.
I admire your preparation. Continue that and you will remain a valuable asset to any expedition team. And getting blue gear at such a early lvl is impressive. Well done, you did good, especially because your team wasn’t over levelled.
Hopefully you won’t be as nervous next time. Not everyone is rude. Some appreciate the game and getting the run done trouble free. I hope you find them people.
Good luck in your endevours and keep a grinding.
This is without a doubt the most over exaggerated PvE experience I’ve heard
BUT
I do admire your seriousness towards something you’re unfamiliar with but it really shows your skill level if you had to prep this much for what a lot of people consider an introductory experience to dungeon’ing in NW. No one cares about speed that much at that stage of the game and that guy was just immature or trying to be funny and you missed the joke, end of.
All the best to you on NW but the main game is at least x4 harder than this with or without prep and I’m not trying to intimidate or blow my own trumpet, I’ve been playing high ranked league/Tekken and korean mmo’s for well over 10 years.
Bad parenting. Some people are just not raised correctly. In game and IRL.

Hopefully you don’t care about some writed words of some idiot
People are different , he can’t understand you enjoy time in game lol
Don’t let those toxic SoBs get to ya. Unfortunately, every MMO has those bad apples. Stay positive and always celebrate your achievements.
Yes you’re right, your comment does breed insecurity. I’ve had to deal with your kind a few times while I was guild master. “Pulling your weight”, by whom’s metric? What if you’re a hard caster and the boss requires a lot of movement? What if you’re a melee and the boss has loads of close ranged AoE attacks? That’s just 2 scenarios that affects your precious DPS meter. So when you say “pulling your weight” you mean “If I deem you beneath me I can say what I want”. Thanks for proving everything wrong with DPS meters and why they have no place what so ever in any game, ever.

I’m glad I’m not the only one, in some morbid way.
I basically don’t do dungeons, it’s odd because I used to do them fine, but the drama rarely involving me! I was disappointed that the main quest was in a Dungeon. Somehow I managed to do Amrine because I went there without reading the quest and didn’t know it was a dungeon and as I got there I was invited to a boost. Not a paid one, some level 60 was just bored and I happened along at the right time.
Now I need to do another one… so I’ve dacked in the main story and instead focus on crafting. MMO’s should be solo friendly imo. If people only had to team up through choice it would be better for everyone.
Makes you appreciate FFXIV a lot more, doesn’t it?
And building a nice community isn’t that hard - all you need to do is to have right policies in place:
-No DPS meters in chat (all the people screaming “you don’t like meters 'cos you suck” can go f themselves)
-Forceful “advice” is bannable offence (check out the new policy from Square Enix with specific examples)
-0 tolerance for harassment, racism etc across the board, dealt with manually not semi-auto
Apply this policy for few months and all the shitheads will leave to other places (and yes, maybe some “kewl” elitists will leave also but its not exactly a big loss either)
The one thing that makes me laugh isn’t the fact that people make these posts demanding changes from Devs, it’s the raw fact alone that people expect these MMORPG releases to be any different for the first few months, I mean look at world of warcraft there are still gold sellers spamming every world years after release lol it’s never going to stop unless there’s a specific algorithm that blocks specific messages to be sent but then they just reword it and keep doing it, on top of that keep seeing people complaining about “lack of content” well yeah you blow through the level grind in 2 days expect there to be no content - being max level in any MMO tends to be that way doing the same dungeons or just doing PvP while waiting for the next big update, like yeah again look at games that have been out for years like WoW, it’s still the same system
Or because you can’t count on being able to find people. I have been looking for people to do an quest, that turns out, you have to kill 2 elites, that are together. But the quest dosen’t let you know. Because apparently, that is above the intelligence level of the delopers, to add it, to the quest. I have been there 2 times now, for kills. But because the game is so poorly designed, i still haven’t gotten credit for a kill. I’m level 60, yet i take about 40% damage from one of them. The game is a pile of garbage, designed by people that shouldn’t be working on games like this
DPS meters are objective proof of whether or not I’m wasting my time. As you’ve clearly proven, lack of meters doesn’t prevent poor behavior; There’s no reason that guy should be complaining when the content was smoothly cleared.
However, if people aren’t contributing to a run and refuse to take constructive criticism, it’s not my job to bang my head into a wall hoping they suddenly start performing. If I join a random group doing a dungeon with corrupted mobs and the DPS are using Ice Gauntlets and Warhammers, it’s really easy for me to tell why things aren’t going smoothly, but DPS meters make it objectively clear for all if anyone isn’t pulling their weight.
As a byproduct of missing metrics, New World’s PvE isn’t exactly challenging, which is a shame because they’ve sacrificed so much quality elsewhere to try and deliver PvE content.
You missed thread? xD
You sound like the BEST kind of person to do dungeons with! All the prep etc, fantastic job! More players like you please!
lol, the typical under… guy.
Wait to the twat hits Depths. 
Hell probably rage quit.
You, on the other hand did fine. Don’t listen to ‘those people’.
you need help lol
There are a lot of people who treat every facet of the game as a competition where someone is best and someone is worst. Dungeons are a team activity. You work together, you support each other.
As a healer, I’ve seen DPS drop off attacking the boss to pick off a mob that’s getting in my personal space. I’ve seen others reposition for the next mechanic. Their numbers won’t be as high as succmybigDPS69 but if it makes a fight more comfortable, great. If we win in the end, awesome! If a DPS is trying to show off and takes my focus off the tank, it’s not worth the faster kill speed. Sometimes a smooth 3 minute fight is more fun than a more chaotic 2 minute fight.
Good on OP. I’ve gotten to group with some really great people so far. Mistakes have been made, people have supported each other, we’ve rooted for each other. I’ve also had to deal with more toxic members. You keep track and friend those you enjoy. After a while you have a long list of people to run things with. The people who feel their time is wasted if a run takes a few minutes longer will group with like-minded people.
what’s there to miss? a bunch of people complaining about beating the game in 2 days to find there’s nothing to do? Or even complaining about toxic community, i mean go hit max level in any MMORPG what do you get 
Elitist pricks will be elitist pricks.
Don’t worry about their opinions, and just enjoy your game. In the end, the opinions of some random chucklehead should mean nothing to you.
