No Novice Gunners.

(1/4) > >>

Richard LeMoon:
Hundreds of novice gunners (cause gunnin is COOL!) are mucking up the matchmaking. No one wants a novice gunner. I don't think a lot of them even understand that engineers can shoot as well. I am sure too many gunners in the queue are slowing down the matchmaking process as well. Solution for several problems at once:

Don't let people with less than 20 matches choose gunner.

sparklerfish:
I doubt this would ever be implemented, but I like the idea.  I've had novice crews tell me we shouldn't start because my 3-engineer build didn't have a gunner...

Is the default class you start as gunner?  Maybe that's also subtly influencing people?  If it is, it should default to engineer.  Also, I haven't done the tutorials in a long time, but if the engineering tutorial doesn't include some shooting, or mention ammo types, it probably should.  I can't even count the times I've told an engineer to change their ammo type and they respond by switching to gunner.

Hoja Lateralus:
It's just sad how hillarious it is. It's like:
Hahahahahaha.... no :<

I dig the idea of engineer being the starting class though. On the other hand it's significantly harder to be a decent engineer than a decent gunner.

DJ Logicalia:
I don't really feel that's fair. It's not the class, it's the person. Every class is confusing, hell, most new players thing pilot class is stupid and pointless. And speaking of pilot, I would much rather have a novice gunner than a novice pilot. Sure, new players can't utilize ammo types correctly, but I'm sure you didn't straight off either. I know I didn't. That being said, I did start off as an engi and I believe that taught me way more than I would have learned as a gunner or a pilot, but blocking gunner (and might as well throw pilot in there to. Same reasons and all) isn't fair to new players who want to learn a class.

Schwalbe:
Hey guys, i have even better idea.

Ban anyone with less than 20 matches completed from choosing pilot or gunner or engineer.

You can guys thank me later for my genius invention. :)
