Kamoba:

--- Quote from: BlackenedPies on July 13, 2015, 02:18:12 am ---Unless you need more than one ammo type for utility or are planning on fully utilizing the extra arcs from gunner stamina, don't bring a gunner. Spanner mallet buff engineer repairs better, buffs components, and does significantly more damage. Your gunner is likely a liability not an asset.

Also the mentality behind gunners is something I am growing to disdain more and more, thus i like.gunners less on a daily basis.

Hoja Lateralus:
1. Bind map to the button you can actually press easily like left shift or Q

2. Look at the map

3. Seriously

4. LOOK AT THE FUCKING MAP

5. JUST LOOK AT IT!

6. Gunner should also help in repairs if possible. You can't imagine how much shit you can do in between reloads, especially if you're using heavy gun.

7. Seriously, the map thing, though.

9. Always stay close to your allies and attack the same target. This "trick" (or, as I would say, common-fuckmothering-sense) will make you at least 100% more effective

10. Now you notice there was no point 8. It was on the map.

BlackenedPies:
Rebind your keys. I recommend trying shift ctrl for voice chat, mouse buttons for throttle, and map button close like C. Use the map. As captain press B (default) to target ships.

'I don't mean to intrude your display of etiquette Kamoba but I think it would be great if you made a seperate thread for the words I've quoted above before this thread derails from "Things new players should know to get better" to "Things people should know to be a better person"'

I have to disagree Keb. This is a core part of the social challenge in the game. There are plenty of reasonable gunners, pilots and engineers who win less often than they could because they don't attract good crew members and team mates to play with. Winning more frequently is pretty much the definition of being better at a game. If you want to win in a game in which communication and co-operation are central then tips that amount to 'be less of an asshole' are excellent advice.

Even if you were a sociopathic lunatic who hated every person ever for absurd bigoted reasons you will still do better in GoI if you treat other players with respect.

I think you misunderstood my point here. Assuming everyone shares similiar views with Kamoba, this thread may eventually turn into a cluster of gameplay tips and social etiquette. I do think it has a place considering the name of the thread implies "general" guidelines and I definitely support it. My intention isnt to trivialize the social contract's importance, rather I'd like to filter the two categories into seperate threads so that the readers can get a more efficient flow of information. I can't memorize every gameplay tip if there's a "be nice" between every line.
