"Guns of Icarus" fans, holding game back.
Helmic:
I don't disagree that losing is fun, but I'm also aware that it's an unusual attitude and don't expect the majority of new players to share it. If you're really concerned about new players getting better, get on their team and coach them so they wreck your captain buddy. I mean, you can't have fun losing if you're on the winning team, now can you?
N-Sunderland:
Great post, Latrew, that's the type of attitude that'll get you far in this game.
And Helmic, I think you put it a lot better than Aythreuk. I still think that losing against guys like Captain Roy, MasX and Firestone always helped me when I was a new player, but I can see how others wouldn't share that sentiment. I'm always up for helping a team that's really struggling, and I love giving advice to people who are willing to hear it. There's just a problem with a large number of players who think of this as your run of the mill FPS, where you don't need to listen to what people tell you to do and run more or less solo. These people are the ones that won't learn no matter how hard you try.
So the two problems are experienced players who don't even try to help rookies, and new players who don't seem to give a crap.
Helmic:
Yeah, those that come into the game expecting a steampunk FPS are going to be disappointed no matter what, although that doesn't mean they still can't be pleasantly surprised by the game once they understand. You have to read the game description to understand that the game is uniquely team-centric, the trailers put all the emphasis on the airships themselves.

I really hate it when people buy games without knowing what they're about at all. I remember reading somebody asking on the Steam Discussions for Portal 2 "When do you get a real gun in this game?"

I honestly spent the entirety of the original Portal wondering when the tutorial was going to end.
