Quitting Mid-Game & A Suggestion

<< < (3/5) > >>

Kamoba:
Throughout different threads players have said many metaphors regarding Steam Sales, my favourite is comparing it to Gold Panning, you fill your pan full of what appears to be nothing but dirt, and you shake the pan up, bringing the dirt to the top and washing it away, then shake the pan again and wash more dirt away, until eventually all you are left with is heavy gold nuggets of great value. :)

I would suggest as you're the first of your group to play, learn how to pilot, that way your daughters and friend have a captain all ready to make your legacy in this world! :)

As for clans, at this tine there is no actual link to Clans and the game Lore factions, although some clans may have already named which faction they're 'fighting for' at this moment in tine clans are a player tool to help keep people together :)

I have mixed feelings about Clans at this time.  I don't really see the need for them when there are six factions, and question why there are so many, but I am sure my questions will be answered as I have more community experience.  Right now, my priorities are to gain experience and be a valuable crew member.  In that way I will have something more to offer a Clan than just an increment to the member counter should I decide to go that route in the future.

A lot of people think that way and then they stop playing after few days. It's probably because they think they need to get good in order to find a clan, like you are thinking now. And it's true for a lot of games, but not for Goio. Most clans don't care about your level as long as you are willing to learn and be a teamplayer. If you can do that, they will be happy to accept you. We play for fun and that doesn't mean you have to be awesome player and keep winning, it means that you work with your crew and so everyone is doing their job and you have fun. No one has fun with people that have no idea how to play and they have no intention of learning, they are just useless, sometimes even worse, because if they wouldn't be there you could at least have AI.

Anyway, if you join a clan you will have more fun and you will learn faster. But it's your choice really. I can just wish you good luck.

Lanliss:
I personally have always been fairly anti clan. I have always been a bit of a loner, and it has remained that way in Guns. Don't get me wrong, I am still a team player, but I still find the most fun in playing with random people, as opposed to people I have already played with a dozen times. Remember everyone that being in a clan is not a requirement, and you can have just as much fun without them as long as you still learn. Do not sacrifice yourself for their imperialistic regime.

ShadedExalt:
1. Nanoduckling's clan is specifically to give you that experience, then you leave for a new one, or to strike out on your own.

2. Welcome!  Sorry for the bad experiences so far.

3. I am of a similar mind as you, friend, and there are many more!  It's like Kamoba says: it's panning for gold.  If you ever need a crewmate, captainm or what-have-you, hit me up!  ;D

welcome to our community, Pavane!  I would also like to take this opportunity to apologize for the bad experiences and frustration.

let me explain a bit about clans vs factions.  factions don't currently have any impact on the game (in fact, they're not in-game at all right now, though many players use them for roleplay purposes).  they'll be used more heavily when co-op and adventure come around.  the factions will be more driven by the game - it's a mechanic we set up within the game, and how well a faction does within the game will affect events in-game (that's my best understanding, at any rate - though I'm largely uninvolved in the development of our DLC, so don't quote me!  but the point is, it's generally a game mechanic), while clans are driven by players for players.  clans are simply groups of people that want to hang out with each other in-game, or teach, or compete with each other (and set up scrims to battle against other clans for practice), whatnot.
so if you're looking for people to play with, I would also encourage you to find a clan that is active in game around the same time you are active, and also is driven by what you want to get out of the game, whether that be hanging out with people and having a good time with good players, striving to be the best in tournaments, or to learn and maybe eventually teach new players yourself, etc.

for your original post, there are a couple of ways to know if something like that's happened.  in the match chat in the bottom left corner, there should be a notification when someone joins or leaves a ship.
[Crew] (player name) has left.
I believe is how it should appear.
The tab key also shows the team/player list when you're in the match.  Though it's not a notification; you have to hit the button to see it.

as always, I recommend suggestions be emailed in to us at feedback@musegames.com - they won't get missed that way, and they can be forwarded straight to the department it pertains to.  I will send this one in, though :)
