I am begging, please add minimum level requirements to pilot...

<< < (4/40) > >>

FranckM:
I agree with a kicking option but only if it requires 85-90% approval and anonymous on what everyone voted of course.

To clarify there shouldn't be a level requirement in novice matches or for the pilot class specifically. If there were a requirement it would be for joining the captain slot in non-novice matches. The maximum reasonable requirement would be to graduate from novice (level 7 in any class). Requiring level 25 or over 100 matches is excessive. I'd say even just level 3 in any class would be enough to join the captain slot in non-novice matches.

New players should be able to pilot but brand new players shouldn't captain in a regular match. Better tutorials and fixing novice mode would help but those need work from Muse. My goal is to prevent brand new players with under 10 matches from captaining in a regular match.

The vast majority of new players listen to advice and it's only a small but memorable minority that cause problems. Too high a requirement might turn off new players and I doubt it would fix anything. There are two other problems with captain requirements: difficulties during low population, and Muse will be against any type of restriction.

Regarding kicking Muse has stated they are against it in any form. Calling in a moderator isn't an option because there's no system for it. You need to know that a moderator is online and call them in. Even then the moderator won't do anything unless the player is blatantly trolling and they observe it in a match. You used to be able to spam recommended loadouts to get trolls to leave but that ability was removed. I have had many discussions with Muse and their opinion is that everyone should be able to play how they want regardless of how disruptive it is. The conversations I had with Matthew and Howard about trolling being acceptable blew my mind.

On a side note joining the captain slot should automatically switch you to pilot class with the ability to switch to engi if you choose. Just like recommended loadouts should be automatic with the ability to change.

One of the problems with blocking content like dangerous pilot tools is that the game was designed around having all tools available on day one. Games designed around unlocking tools usually make higher level tools slightly more powerful or modify game play in a way that only an experienced player can understand. I think if anything should be blocked it is as the OP stated: Block the pilot class for non novice matches until players have had a chance to see what a pilot really does.

The shock factor for new pilots is intense. My first time resulted in sweating and increased heart rate. We lost 5-0 with an average engagement time* of under 8 seconds. Going from "Yarr I'm a pirate swab the deck me hearties" to the chaos of 3 people yelling at you while taking hits is a lot for some people.

*time first hit to dead

No to the level 8 gunner. That would cause the over eager to pilot players to either quit each time there is more than one gunner on a crew or to not accept a loadout.

Otherwise, not a bad idea. I would make it a match completed requirement, though.

That is, unless you have voice chat disabled, and not enough brain power to read the text chat in left lower corner and play the same time.

Have in mind - this states person suffering from Attention Defficit Disorder, so actually the person who shouldn't be, in theory, to be able to do so himself. And yet - I do.
So I guess there's no justification, because people that retarded won't be able to use computer properly anyway, not to mention playing any computer games. Hence, I call purposeful trolling.

Muse will never give us tools to get rid of bad players. They think we should teach them. And we do, so it's quite insulting for us, players, that we have no fucking way to get rid of obvious trolls, who put our nerves on balance. Great. Just fucking great. And maybe they are surprised there's an outflow of players?

Recently I played a match with newbies, I was fortunate to actually get some guys willing to listen and learn and it was a pleasure. Until that lvl 20 engie arrived on our goldfish. He used a moment when I was tapping my hwacha with wrench, and he got on my hwacha. He stayed there. Entire. Fucking. Match. Not exchaning a fucking word by any means.
I wasn't the one to yell for kickvote there - only newbies, who felt fucked because of a trolling shithead. I added those to friends, guess what - they are offline since then.

GG.
