Any advice for an experienced newbie?

Animaji:
I played Guns of Icarus consistently until I got to level 9, and then I stopped playing for almost a year. I've basically lost all knowledge of basic strategy (what little I knew) and even how to play. Today, a couple of friends who had never played before wanted to start. I figured I'd jump back in so we could play a game together. Except, being level 9, I can't play any novice games (even with my other characters who are both level 1).

I thought I'd just create a new account and start over, but I can't because the accounts are tied to Steam. To get a new GoI account, I'd have to get a new Steam account. So we played a non-novice game, and it was awful. I felt horrible for the other ship on our team who basically had to do everything alone. And there's no way for us to improve by playing together since everyone else is so much better than we are.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what we can do or focus on to improve and have fun without screwing it up for other players?

Imagine:
Find a match with some higher level players, and ask them.

No seriously, if you're willing to learn, to ask and actually listen to what they say, most are extremely willing to teach. Some will not, sure, some might not have the time or want to teach at that given time, but for the most part? You'll learn more from then that you would just playing the game.

Arturo Sanchez:
for one thing play all 3 classes.

DJ Logicalia:
Yeah, what Imagine said. If you ask higher leveled players to play with you so you can learn from someone more experienced, you'll be miles ahead of everyone else in your level. Most of  the upper level pilots are friendly and love seeing new players wanting to learn. The 45 might seem intimidating, but for the most part, as long as you're polite enough, you can nab an experienced pilot to teach you all sorts of things

Lovely LadyBell:
If you are every feeling lost in the game, ask a higher up player. Typically they are higher up for a reason, ie they have been playing a long time. Most players don't mind answering your questions anyway. You could always ask your captain too, they tend to provide good advice.

I'd also recommend, if you have forgotten how to play the game, revisiting the tutorials or even playing in the singe player mode so you can experiement with the games weapons, ammo and tools to figure out what works best for you strategy wise or what works best in general. Its also a great place to test out new combinations for piloting, engineering etc. Whenever i want to try a new strategy out you can bet i'm in there.

If you ever need help, just friend me on guns and pm me if you see me on. I'll help you out when i can for sure ^_^
