Training Day

<< < (26/30) > >>

Ataris:
I'll do it as usually, 1-2 minutes before deadline

Kyren:
Skrim's not coming today, so we're short one regular Trainer. Last time we did extremely well with making the Training Day a Beginners Match and holding it for 2 hours, but unless we get a good number of volunteers for today I'd make it 9 to 10 again! The reason being, that it's a bit difficult for meto be online for 2 hours straight  today :/

I'll start PMing now though, and we'll see what we can get together :)

Calico Jack:
tbh I play every day I and try to give training when I'm online, (something I did even before there was an achievement for it)- but getting tied down to a schedule is a bitof a disincentive for me and I think it's the same for players I see, plus most new players don't really seem to want to plan ahead, but are happy to join something if it's there when they are online. Can I suggest it would it be more flexible to be able to approach the CA or MUSE on duty to announce that a targeted sandbox session will be happening in the next 10 mins sort of thing?

We're mainly doing the Training Days because they allow us to easily get a bunch of Trainers together, not so because they allow us to get so many trainees together :P Because there are literally always players in the game who would willingly join in a training session. With this format, we can usually offer 4 ships and aboard every ship a senior player to help with loadout, strategy in battle and everything else.

Hmmm, while I really like to hear that you're doing guided Sandbox tours there's not much I can do - or other CAs, for that matter. CAs and Trainers (who are sponsored by CAs) can join Beginners matches. CAs also have access to the forum calendar here, but we can't announce things in the Official Steam Group or in the announcement-board ingame.

As far as I know, we could only help you by joining in the Sandbox Training or by adding yellow names to the lobby chat, advertising your sandbox! The Forum and Steam events are... well, not that successfull.

Calico Jack:
Perhaps I should rephrase my previous post, in essence I meant to say I believe I see a niche that needs  filling,

Just after I posted I grabbed the first CA on the ca list and gave it a shot, having a yellow tag posting in general chat with me worked quite well. Possibly with some regularity players might start watching for sessions - it did happen when I was doing this before.

Something I tried before was to try to train crew in a 2v2 match but the game lacked the ability to comm between teams to co ordinate attacks in the initial training part, but party chat has it covered this time around.
