I'm surprised. I logged in just now (9 PM EST Wednesday night) and there are "only" 262 people online. I expected more this week. I assume the deluge begins this weekend with the Polaris Civil War event thing? I thought there would be more people "preparing" during the week for this event, especially considering the game is 50% off... alas, the Great Training Crusade continues and will continue and shall never end! We are the Disciples of Icarus and our mission is perpetual, our suffering unending, and our aim true. TO THE SKIES!

Red-Xiii:
Its all a matter of perspective and timing.  Quite alot of veteran players have been giving advice from the other side of a stacked game.  This is not one, or two,  or three people.  This is just about every game I played since the most recent sale.   Its ok to give advice.  But to then commence to gat/mortar all noobs before they can execute any kind of maneuver until game end is counter productive.

Its an epidemic.  This is not a normal game.  Requires time, patience, knowledge, of which I think all veterans understand, but are not willing to go the extra mile to actually balance the teams.  Trial by fire is nice in theory, doesnt work for an online game of this nature.

I learned the hardway in Goio.  I have the patience.  Most do not.  Let the noobs breathe.  Join the noob team.  Put some effort in.

I do realize as well everyone may have played a game or two with a novices on their side at some point.  This doesnt absolve responsibility to the community on a day to day basis.  Just my thoughts.  Not trying to peeve anyone off.

Squidslinger Gilder:
Since when is it the responsibility for vets to train new players? Vets have a right to enjoy the game just as much as anyone else. Why should they have to sit there training new players just because they are vets? Why is their enjoyment in GOIO forever determined by everyone else just because they are vets? Are they getting paid for it? No. There is a job for the kind of player that wants to do this kind of work, that is called CA status.

I've got no problem training or encouraging people I see potential in and I'm sure others would say the same, but trying to pressure vets to do their time in the coddle factory just because they are vets is lunacy. I've known plenty that would just look at you and say "piss off," then go play something else. Gamers are not going to abide by any social responsibility that you try to impose upon them. They are not here to hold your hand, wipe your ass, or burp you when you've had enough.

So you had to learn the hardway, good news, so did most of us. It is up to us to determine if and when we want to share that knowledge, not other people. If new players want to know, they can ask. Theres text and voice ability in GOIO. All they have to do is speak up. More than likely they'll find a lot of vets willing to talk if they do.

Skrimskraw:
There is a difference between being new and willing to learn and being a crap player.

If you are new and willing to learn, then veterans will teach and give you advice.
If you are a crap player, no one will help you.

What is a bad player?
A bad player in this instance is a player who joins a multiplayer cooporative game and refuses to do teamwork. He will insist on taking certain roles and not listen to any advice. It is normal for other players to shun such behaviour because it is ruining their own experience in playing the game.

and example is left4dead. You want to play on the hardest difficulty with a few of your pals, but you need 1 more player. some guy joins and you greet him and start the game. the new guy proceeds to go off on his own, disregard all Things connected to team Work and repeatedly die. this isnt fun for the 3 other players and therefore they will not play with the new guy again.

Fynx:
Oh you don't let a new player on your ship unless you have purpose in that or you absolutely need to.

I just love all those clan stacks in 2v2s and especially 3v3s where the other side is being completely annihilated though. And then there's that glory how great those players are, such skill.

For those unaware there was a big fuss about Rydr stacking in some matches long time ago. And that was one hell of a fuss so we've been avoiding stacks since. Now nobody gives a fuck about stacking and most of better clans do that all the time. Well, glorious, you guys are the best.


Aah! Also, cheers Aye!
