Arturo Sanchez:
As a counter point though.

Grinding certain achieves are pretty much only possible with noobs.

Have fun getting unscathed or white whaler on veterans. There are places for vets, its what the community is for. They're called competitions and private games (not that I can ever gather the numbers for either).

Schwalbe:
If you want to get achievements related to newbies, you should be able TO CHOOSE IT, FFS.

I'm not a veteran, and I understand that some players don't know literally everything.
But goddammit, please. I felt games were more balanced, and I had much more fun of them BEFORE 1.3.8 patch.
Honestly today was the first day since some time I had literally a REALLY good time, cause I got aboard with really nice crew ( waffleghost, rinntaq and kill me, but I forgot the last one - I'm sorry ). Not because they are good (well, ok, it is that too) but also because they are funny guys and like to goofy around ( 1: I'll shoot some mines at our ally 2: Remember to make it look like an accident 1: Oh, well, it is an accident.) but when it comes to fight, suddenly everything is in one, proper place.

When you play with players with average of levels below 15 you sometimes wanna cut yourself.
Honestly, FFS. Guys goes on helm, when he is an engie, and does some seriously screwed up shit.
I tried at least to ask him, to get me some angles for mercury. PFFFF. Right, funny shit. Welp, no.
Then, in the middle of deepest shit, he suddenly left helm! Only to rush down for heavy flak that was ought to be manned by MrDisaster, BUT GUESS WHAT. He was doing that idiot work, BECAUSE HE GOT US IN SOME SERIOUS CRAP.

I'm still against votekick, but I swear I had serious doubts watching that bastard. It just can't be even the special kind of stupidity. However I'd rather solve this by some solution to shoot that guy in the head in real life.

How about giving players ability to choose range of levels to play with, and basic on that assemble lobbies? I mean - our level is 22, and we set that indicator to, let's say, 12. It means we wanna play with players levels 10-34. However I just got this idea, and it's like 3:30 AM around here, so I didn't think about this too hard.

Arturo Sanchez:
for those systems to be viable you'd need an excess of expendable player base or somehow programme AI difficulty levels.

I'm all for segregating the novices away from casuals and vets. They are the guaranteed party poopers of any pub lobby. However, the casuals have to learn to grow out of diapers and its against vets that you take those humbling steps.


The common counter to that point is that some novices listen and get good really quickly. By which I say, I dominated novice matches through my natural intelligence (seriously people say learning the basics of this game is hard... its not... to me anyway. It took me a tutorial and 3 matches to master the fundamentals of decent piloting, gunning and engineering- and I don't mean just learning the freakin controls).

And even though I knew I could benefit from skipping baby mode. I stuck to it, mastering the basics and internalising the very bare minimum of what I should expect from a crew.


So yeah, ok. A Novice can point a gun and fix an engine. So what? If they're that good they'll breeze through novice levels, its not like the old days where I had to literally grind specific achievements to graduate. You just have to play a few matches.



Besides... any graduates that survive novice will actually appreciate what good teamwork is, as they are forced to endure the torture that is themselves.

HamsterIV:
I bought this game on release day for the "Release day sale" which was not nearly as drastic as some of the more recent steam sales. After I realized this game was to occupy a major part of my leisure time I started looking for ways I could pass the devs a little more money. The devs obliged with costuming options, ship accesories, and the Adventure mode kick starter. I suggest that you don't look at the steam sale price as the price of the full game, but the price of a demo that lets you access all the features of the full game for an infinite period of time. The real GOI experience comes in when you have a bunch of in game friends in color coordinated outfits causing merry havoc and looking good in the end of match pose off. That experience can be obtained for a reasonable amount after the initial purchase.

macmacnick:
Call me when there's an update or Adventure mode comes out. I'm putting GOIO in the backseat for now, though any invites to play on steam will be accepted if possible.
