Killing the community, one game at a time.

Schwalbe, yes you are right there are many.. Oh so many rude CoD players, but that's the target audience of.the marketing...
I've been into steampunk, fantasy and other such for years and have always been on the look out for a game like guns of Icarus... Yet I only heard about it by its second birthday because when people search for team based games or steampunk games guns is one of the last to pop up...
Search for FPS amongst the wreckage of CoD and Battlefield, somewhere in dead mans land is Guns of Icarus, where people from the aforementioned FPS games drop into our land...
So why don't muse target the returning player and change their marketing?...
Sales, larger audience, general unawareness that their product is not reaching out to the right market? No idea, non-the-less the games marketing does drag in the worst of the worst and we can only hope to grab the good eggs before the rotten ones turn them..
Schwalbe:
Sorry for double post:

You want to get better? Play with your clan. Play in arranged Skrim matches.
Stop playing pub matches, as they're driving your blood pressure to dangerous levels.
You also want to get better? Stop achievement trolling. buffing engines and ignoring repairs because of your achievement makes you look a fool, insulting the people by not caring about their game also makes you a fool.
Stop trolling lobbies with comments such as "This match is not worth my time noobs" Just keep your mouth shut and leave the lobby without a word, you'll not be missed.
Stop telling new players in match chat they're idiots or noobs or fools in an attempt to humiliate them infront of the other players in the game, you make yourself look a troll.
Stop raging the forums with your superiority issues. You're no better a person than the people you're playing with and you need to get your head around that Ceresbane.
Yes new players are frustrating and yes many of them don't want to learn but if it is effecting you so much, don't play with them!
Me Waffle, DrZan Enochh and others have recently started doing custom lobbies during off peak times as we're growing a group of friends who like to play together...
Stop being such a vile person and maybe one day you'll be invited.

You totaly have my salute Kamoba.
Ceresbane... because I fucking refuse to use that Maximillian name... you NEVER have fun from playing, even if playing with good crews. You're always so fucking bloated. I understand your point of view, but if you don't see how fatal this might be, then sorry, go to hell. It's not like I'm not using sarcasm during my games, but you do so constantly, so fucking infernally angsty. Dude, one day your own bloody blood presure will kill you.
When I'm usually sad when a player stop playing, I'd open a bloody champaign, and party like not myself (I have my life of hermit, pariah, free from most common addictions and I feel good with that), seeing you finally kick the metaphorical bucket of your gaming.
And I'm fully aware that some may say the same about me. I'm taunting other players, aye. But rarely I'm doing it in such a way as you do - CERESBANE (seriously, I don't understand switching name stuff, it's like having some damn anonimity issues. But it's not my business) - rude and so... classless. You'd answer some shit like "whoa, we'll see at the battlefield, hurr DUURRR, I have some games to win, bla bla". Is it a bird? Is it a junker? No! That's that flying fuck I don't give.
Patience and humbleness are in value for me. Especially in this game.

Right, so before this thread gets locked, I would like to chime in on "noobs"
Literally an hour ago I had a player with zero matches played and a player with 30 matches played crewing on my galleon. Neither of them had been on a galleon before and started out in the lobby as dual gunners and terrible loadouts. I asked one to go engi and he did. The other one I gave some ammo and a brief explanation of what those types in on a hwacha. Before long they were both bottom decking like pros. A little bit of instruction goes a long way, especially if you treat them like people instead of pests. Last night, I met two very new players who were super cool and took instructions well and liked the music I was playing, so I asked if they wanted to join my clan, and they did. We now have two brand new friends that I wouldn't have made, had I taken the "rude, entitled 'vet' " approach.
In short, sure new players can be stupid and rude, but take a minute to explain stuff like a decent human being. I've had my share of uncontrollable noobs and it hasn't soiled me to the idea of helping new players along

I was in that same match and you guys were doing very well, also I had AI on repairs the first half the match, so those Hades shots were from.players, a level 2 engineer shooting a Hades like a pro and during reload helping repairs, without instruction, just let him do his thing once he realised he was shooting too. :)
But I was pushed to dodge those guns more times than should be comfortable in a lobby like that! :)
