Topic: "New" Players & Servers..

[el-Karnak]

Attention!! Attention WalMart shoppers!! Karnak is having a special on SFC tactics for new players!!

Goto http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163361467.0.html

The price is right!! It's free!!

And, thank you for shopping at WalMart!!



BTW, this guide is good baseline model to adhere to. I used some of the ISC tactis in SG5.  Messa beat some people up real good!!  And, those droners could not toucha messa!!

We should have some "volunteers" for each race write up some basic piloting guides, nothing fancy, but
some basic stuff
Get rid of some of the stereotypes-
For example all the "early" Lyran guides go on about "managing power" and how you have to keep
changing everything if you want to fly- it's crap

As much as I've quietly agreed with practically everything you've said for the past 3 days or so...guides are nice, but who reads them? The new guys have all spent the past day or two with bonk or someone like him actually getting onto the dyna, they dont wana read they wanna fly. RMs and ARMS and all the other pilots need to actively fly with these new guys and make them feel welcome and part of the team, not hand them another 10 page(however nice, and it is nice, Karnak, i've read it top to bottom 3 times) booklet. Once pilots have been flying a few days, they'll be more likely to read any lengthy posts on the subject of tactics.

That's why I should have put in concise..

I'm thinking of like a 20 point bulletin that simply lists things to keep in mind whil
flying for race X

I have heard many times that pilots who were GSA only(like me) that came to D2 had difficulties adapting to the new regime(my new word of this post).  They were captured, or deathdragged, or fought for 25 minutes, got stupid due to GSA games being short and died, etc.  I dont know why, but I never found any of this to be a problem for me.  I have never ever been captured(bet you guys all try to cap me now), won more PvP than I have lost(only exception being first Dyna, where I lost 1 more than I won), and even got to fly a Gorn CVA for days on my second campaign.  Luckily I was a veteran pilot in GSA, and a couple pilots in D2 here were quite willing to help me out for several missions in my first campaign.  It is up to all of US VETS to help out ALL newcommers, new to OP or just to D2.  I realise many of us have gotten well experienced at flying wing with particular individuals, and dont really want to break up your winging teammates and yourself, but for the sake of the community we need to do that at any time a newer person comes online.  If we dont, they wont be sticking around too long without some help to get past the rookie stages.

Sorry but there is no way to compress 4+ years of experience and pain , the highs and the lows , all the phases you wander through in  that time.
How long are we supposed to hold their hands.? I dont remember that anyone held ours.
ITs kinda futile imo, newbies either got the endurance to master the game or not .
I  am willing to fly with them but not much more.
I am not willing to pay "upkeep" just to hold them in the game.

[762_XC]

I am.

All I ask of any n00b is bring an open mind and a willingness to learn. Do that, and training you shall be my pleasure.

+1 karma 762_XC  That kind of willingness to help is the only reason I stuck it out here......

[762_XC]

Well truth be told Kapact we need you guys as much as you need us. The way I see it, the more n00bs we get playing the game, the longer it lives. Pretty simple math.

It's also gratifying to see somebody you helped train develop into a good pilot. It takes time of course, but it's a rewarding process to witness.

[FA Frey XC]

Yea, I mean look how good I trained t00l !!!!!

THAT calls for a re-post:

The REAL reason Tool's Fighters all chase off after admin shuttles...they look like a Catering Vans...



"Gold leader this is Red 6....you guys want anything from the roach coach?"

Yeah the worst is when you hit Recall and that one group goes flying off towards the border. I always figure it's Porkins looking to get his Taco Bell fix.

Yeah, it's taken me a long time. And alot of my training has had to be offline, against an AI as cranked up as possible, because up until now, my dialup (from New Zealand for the last 3 years) hasn't allowed me much PvP. Now I come back, and I'm stuck behind a motel firewall. But I read every manual I can get, and practise as much as the wife will put up with  But on the rare PvP, I hold my own. And that is because people took the time to help, and never stopped answering questions.

Tool left out the part about a firm backside.
