Well, iunno. Ceresbane has his own standards.

Now, which snake do you mean? The murderous Basilisk?

No, Voldermort's snake, Nagini. That's it's name, right?


It's been forever since I last read Harry Potter.

OK SO THE NOOB PROBLEM IS DUE TO FAST LEVELING WITHOUT LEARNING

There was a LV11 engineer who rebuilt with Mallet and repaired with Spanner.

we kinda knew... that was the problem... its mainly the achieve exp.
also... that guy just might be a troll. sounds too intentional.

noobs just use mallet because too dumb to switch tools.


Nothing sadder than a gunner than doesn't use its 3 special ammos because retard. If he doesn't use his ammo wtf is his point of being a gunner?

Call me cruel, but I seriously think the best way for a newbie to learn an online game is for him to get the crap beat out of him.

Smart newbies will start copying techniques that they found completely rekt them.  In doing so, they will be summarily rekt by their counters.  They will then begin to shed some of their newbishness and begin their transformations into valuable teammates.

N00bs will simply get rekt over and over.  They will then ragequit, and no one will miss them.
honestly, this combined with meeting some good vets is how i learned, i started before matchmaker, and to be honest there were never many novice matches around. whenever i saw someone who was lvl 15 i shut up and listened to them

All of you guys derailing my thread, the one I think is really important for the future of the community:



I mean, seriously, I know we all like to joke from time to time but this is too much. Go the fuck out babbling about this shit to the pit, thank you very much. And please, do not reproduce.

Koali, Ceresbane, David Dire:


----------------------------------------------------------

@DJ Logicalia

For the sake of argument, could you explain how do you define elitism, where do you find it here and why is it bad? I'm serious, it's the first time I come across this word and I believe provided you explain what you meant we may form a fruitful discussion.

@Indreams

You're pretty much right. Since levels are now completely worthless (pre-1.3.8 they were more or less valid) I always check the match count. Some time ago I suggested that match count should be some kind of MMR multiplyer, because even if the same win/lose ratio a guy who have 100 matches played is usually much worse player than the one with 1000 matches.

@MidnightWonko

I disagree. No one will play a game that is no fun and seems to have too steep learning curve. Giving example 'ad absurdum' - suppose you learn to play football with the best team of your country. You get your ass handed one, two, or few more times and then you say "Fuck it, it's too hard for me" and never do it again. On the other hand if you learn with guys with similar skill you may actually have fun, and if you really dig it you may try to learn more on your own and become better at it.
Oh, and this is perhaps something that happens if after a sale there is a peak of 1500-2000 players and after a few month we're back to average of 200-300 players during peak.
