I noticed that too, but I'd blame part of it on school starting.

I know from some people (and I'm affected too) that the Mac problem hasn't been solved, so all the Mac players will be inactive until it's fixed...

I played yesterday with a kid who were obviously around 7-10 years
he did not understand his role, he did not listen to everything I said, but he tried.
He had fun doing what he was doing, and I had fun playing, since I this game doesnt punish me for trying out new tactics or just playing around.

All new players, old or young are more than welcome on my ship, as long as you are willing to have fun and listen.

stigmatising these players would leave to a more hardcore audience yes, but how can that benefit any of us, if we´re playnig to have fun.
reate a clan if you want to be tryhard, and then fight your way to the top, it´s not easy, a lot of the top teams are incredibly good, so please do that before you start complaining about new players.

I started playing last january, in that span of time I have met players who are downright trolls or just mean in general.
I added all of them to my friendslist.
the trolls are gone
the mean players are gone
those who arent gone have changed behavior and are really nice people to play with now.

This is the kind of thing that is quite typical and average when the in game population grows, back near the beginning of the year our population jumped to 300 (Which was larger then our average of 120) and according to a few people there were a few trolls and idiots, rude players, etc. then after a while the population dropped again and the people who remained were pretty decent, not in the fact they were good at the game, but in the fact they weren't trolls, those kind of people had left with the rest of growing players, Kirk was one of those players.

And I came to this game straight from Call of Duty. Even in the 1-3 lobbies, I was impressed with the community. Yes, there were trolls and dicks, but they were largely offset by the nice players. As I rose through the ranks, the community just got better and better.

Yes. There are less than pleasant players. That's just how the Internet works.

It's the fact that they're so disproportionate to the more than pleasant players that makes this game great.

And while I haven't been here long, I've seen my fair share of players troll, be nasty, or complain about the community both on the forum and in the game.

If you look back in forum history, you'll see some familiar faces defending the community, and some not-so-familiar faces saying how much it sucks.


That's not to say you should leave, Q.

I've had you both on my crew and as a fellow captain.
You're not bad at the game, you played it very well in both instances.

It's just time to let a few bad eggs stop ruining the experience for you.

Tharinock:
Fragmenting the community is not a good solution to issues. New players learn best from nice, understanding good players. I'm still pretty new to this game, level 4 on my highest role. And when I was brand new, I learned the most when manning the ship of experienced captains. There were a couple early games where my captain saw I was a level 1/2 engineer. In response, they didn't get mad at me when I made mistakes. They said things like "When the hull gets hurt, repairing it is the top priority." Not in a mean nasty way, just stating a fact that I as an engineer should know. And I learned from their advice, and by the end of one of my runs on a ship the captain was confident enough in my engineering to burn kerosine 24/7 while his other 2 crew manned the guns. Had he just complained "my engines are down, stop sucking engineer" I would not have picked up a lot of the skills I did. That game was where I learned about how to prioritize, and had my first lesson in engi parkour.
