I attempted to do it actually teaching novice lobbies! Something a Ca should do. But when the crew (even if it was one on the ship) bails & leaves me to fly the ship as engineer whilst offering encouragement to the other team ally. Then eventually the lobby empties  what's the point?

This game has always excelled at setting unrealistic goals!

If you attempt to join a running match as a pilot when there already is one, you are notified that you will be changed to engineer.

If a gunner is already on the vessel you are attempting to join, just treat it exactly the same. It may nip out some sort of quasi-legitimate "lolgunnerstrats" brain damage, but I seriously can not conceptualize how this kind of thing hasn't already be implemented, considering double pilot has already been removed.

Most likely reason; they'd rather the new players have a free reign to do as they please. Whilst it does nothing but piss off have established players. A win win.

TL;DR/ To sum things up:
                        I feel like you are trying to glorify yourself as a beautiful and righteous acting CA (ur signature in last post lol) who deserves more for his hard work to keep the game alive, and everyone else is a horrible person, as they are war mongrels hungry for stomping the enemy, and worst of all like having fun. And you believe that Vets have killed this game, and we need to reform them into good doing machines for the sake of the community, that will always let the newbies win. IMO its amazing that the game has lived so long, and developed such a dedicated community
                       

Nah that's what you obviously thought with my closing with; A CA that did what was needed of them. Merely just did what the ca badge meant, taught, helped & wasted my time teaching new players, only for them to be raped mercilessly. This is why my engineering hours are so high, it is easier to advise whilst going auto repair bot mode.

Take the yellow name away; what does it do anyway? If it was removed would it turn me into a dick-head overnight? No it wouldn't I don't roll that way.

The end has come about by a culmination of things; most notably the battle cry 'death to noobs' all the time typing; o7 gee gee et al, no lobby swaps, rarely if ever was any sound advice given. Much like you had the Holy Grai and didn't want to share it's secrets. Then rush off to the buffet table for scrub soup followed by noob cake.

Also whats this BS about you saying you have been offering swaps for over a year. I do not believe a word of that as I was never privy to receiving such scraps from the top table, either on my alts or my main.

Maybe you'd swap once in a blue when the lobby was balanced or you were goaded & cajoled in to it. You have one opinion, mine is totally different. Having seen the majesty of all your actions on alts.


Back on topic If possible

A culmination of things has brought us to this point. Lack of a kick function, when the only option is to reform the crew, search recently played with to invite that one play who showed promise. Vote-Kick would have been better served to be in game. Most games have vote kick and rarely is it abused, by level headed people. Some will obviously abuse it, as that is the only form of control they have in their lives. Slot locking could also be used advantageously. Let us face it who want's to teach every srucb from bumblefuck county every day. Not even me! However being a CA i'd give it my best and feel duty bound to try. Else why would i be a ca if not to help the community? Not destroy it slowly. But those days are now behind us; as there are no players left to teach.

For all it's glitz and glamor & SyFy aspects Alliance is to me the tutorial, PVP is the meat.

I don't post here often. But had to call a spade a spade.

Who let you into SkBo and allowed you to speak on the clan's behalf? You also have the nerve to use Glorious Leader's words to promote whatever agenda it is you have with this post? You'll be hearing from the Sky Council for this one, Slork. I'll do everything in my power as Official Wine Taster to have you removed from the ranks. Scrub.

Nobody I joined you on alts as a scrub.

That awkward moment when Solidusbucket is speaking to The Most So Called Respectable Captain Slork Glork, but you think he was talking to you (also u forgot an "L" in Hillary).

No I did not miss and 'L' in Hilary.

Naryan as u said the game is dead, so can u just go away now and not come back plz thx bai.

And people Call Narayan Toxic. You lot did nothing but destroy every ship with new players on it every sale just like a free lunch. I have been there when yours and other so called respected clans did this & laughed about it.

The majority of you are rude to new players and don't teach them anything, in fact you tend to ignore questions from new players when asked. How do I know this? I have flown with skbo clan members on several occasions, when able to get on a stacked ship.... How you can look in the mirror whilst slagging of Narayan in the same breath for putting forward ideas is a joke, and only serves to highlight how toxic you actually are.

When I think of the hundreds of hours I spent teaching only for the top clans to smash the new players makes my effort null and void. Even had a Rydr surrender and still keep fighting to kill a level  5 pilot I was teaching. Oh yes elitism is alive and well. The majority of you have helped kill this game with stack after stack after stack never offering a rematch; when the stack was not in your favor. Players and clans of this douchery should only ever be in events and should not be in gen pop. All giggling like prepubescent teens getting moist over a fresh batch of noobs to kill.

Signed
A CA that did what was needed of them.

     I understand how my joke was toxic, as the intention was a stab at Naryan (stabs in nature being toxic). I did not mean to cause you any personal offense from it.
     As for your statement towards SkBo, and other "so called respected" clans (I thank you for the new title) destroying ships during "every sale just like a free lunch," you are correct. But I think that this has no negative connotation as you phrased it to have. You have, just told me that us Respected Clans, play the game during sales, and end up killing people, and have fun~! And yes, its true! During some sales I will play the game and sometimes there will be an enemy ship with new players on it, and (oh the horror) I will LAUGH, I will have FUN. I will enjoy the game. (Shame on me?)
Now I am assuming that your intention behind this claim is that we were stacking, and that stacking is inherently bad, and we were having fun doing so, and this therefore causes us to go from respectable, to "so called respected". I understand where you are coming from with this. Stacking and crushing lower levels obviously deters them away from the game, and I believe that everyone really has stacked. You yourself have said so. But, I can say from experience that on this, and my novice level alternate accounts, I still see strong effort from vets to swap ships and balance lobbies in almost every match. For if they dont, someone usually calls them out on it, and they then do. They have reason and initiative to keep lobbies balanced. Even if I personally find stacking and winning, a fun and enjoyable activity, that not only makes me "giggle like" a "prepubescent teen," and "moist," but also makes my throbbing dick rock hard with pure ecstasy, I still put forth effort to balance lobbies. But of course you can only balance a lobby so much in a game where people want to fly with their friends, and as is the nature of the game; one team wins and is happy, and another team loses and is sad. I apologize that this happens. But you have to look past this fact, and realize that people try al the time to stop stacks, but sometimes, they do happen... and yes... not everyone is upset when it happens... (reference my throbbing cock statement)
As for your statement that you "once saw" a member of the so called respectable Storm Ryder's clan surrender and still keep fighting to kill a level 5 pilot I was teaching;" If he surrendered, then the captain was Lue and he had a novice on his crew he was upset with (Lue does as Lue does), and yes, I am just as surprised as you that he didn't suicide into a cliff until the novice stopped being AFK or trolling (I dont blame him). But you seem to be trying to say with this statement that, he was being an "Elitist" "Douche," by playing in a match that resulted in a loss for a novice, that you were teaching. I cannot tell if you are humoring us here, or if you actually think that everyone in the game should just be able to win all the time and no one should lose as it makes people sad.

     And as for your signature "A CA that did what was needed of them," I will tell you that I did not know that proper CA's add fire to toxic people like Sir Captain Slork Glork of the Most So Called Respected Clan The Skyborne That is Actually a Bunch of Silly Goof Gaffs Stackers, and in doing so unarguably break Code of Conduct rules #1 for Profanity/Obscenity, and rule #2 for Harassment. And you might be thinking, oh my, but captain Sir Slork Glork of the Most So Called Respected Clan The Skyborne, your whole post has been rude and defamatory and has included rude and coarse language, oh my, and people do this all the time on the forum, how come you are calling my out here for it!? But I never made a post with the intention of saying I was a proper noobie loving CA, who has done everything in his power to help the community, while fierce wolves of top tier clans struck them down, oh my!


TL;DR/ To sum things up:
                        I feel like you are trying to glorify yourself as a beautiful and righteous acting CA (ur signature in last post lol) who deserves more for his hard work to keep the game alive, and everyone else is a horrible person, as they are war mongrels hungry for stomping the enemy, and worst of all like having fun. And you believe that Vets have killed this game, and we need to reform them into good doing machines for the sake of the community, that will always let the newbies win. IMO its amazing that the game has lived so long, and developed such a dedicated community as is, when many other games of Guns' stature have already fallen to the grave.
                       And i don't necessarily think Naryan is toxic i just think his ideas are often kinda lackluster in reason[ing]. Though I find myself actually agreeing with his tone here (and the reasoning for having this idea [not the idea itself]) in the sentence  "...i would like to suggest to help balance out lobbies and game play for everyone in our low pop state." As I said previously this game is amazing and the fact that it has made it this far is a miracle in itself. but the game had fallen (not even an angelic community would have stopped this, every game dies out at some point), to a low pop state and creating ideas to deal with balance in the current state is much better than complaining about how we got to this state. Kudos to you Naryan.
                       

I will be happy to respond to any retort you have to this jumble of text written by a horrible so called respectable stacker. me.


Edit: Dmitrij K., has voiced that where you said "Players and clans of this !#$%@$ should only ever be in events and should not be in gen pop," he is in full agreement. Plz get us vets some cool events


For the record I was thinking of just PMing this retort as a private reply, with the intention of not stirring up fuss that has nothing to do with the thread it is in, but Mr. Briss, as a CA that does "what is needed of them," I figured he must have taken this into consideration with his original defaming post, and come to the conclusion that stirring up a fuss in public on the forums [and breaking the CoC] was the way to go, so I am merely following in his prestigious example. (I also didnt want to ruin any "so called respectable" Clan's rep by not making a statement on the matter)

I have over 3/4's on my time as engineer. So all I do is repair the ship and stop if from dying. The worst thing you can say about me is firing some mines in between fixing things. On occasion when doing just that engineering fixing the ship. I have been accused of staking; so stopped repairing the ship. I don't make stacks and never have, I am just the greasemonkey.

I only echo what new players in lobby's have said after a thorough drubbing off named clans. Can't handle the truth. That's your issue not mine. Stackers should really be ashamed. A Good vet stacked match V stack is fair. But the clans I mentioned Rydr's Skbo and others still never offered rematches. Hell as a Dagz we always used ask for a rematch type it in chat ' vote for rematch for team scramble' Then sneer as you were not fair enough to stay for a rematch when the teams were scrambled. That was and still is pathetic.

Clearly the answer is to play Alliance.  The lobby can't be stacked if there is only one team. :p

True but I have the SyFy channel for my SyFy fix.

You know what happened after they made the game f2p?
We had a HUGE amount of new players coming in. As a result, most Vets quitted the game forever, as all the lobbies became a huge cluster of "scrub" loadouts, which means none of the vets actually enjoyed the game anymore.

Kind of like a lot of the games are now for veterans. Balance changes, noobs being noobs in 50% of all games. Lochnagar what's up with that. When you hear a noob giving a Veteran pilot some mouth over not wanting the tool loadout, then think this is for most matches. Teaching teaching teaching. Lots of Veterans do not want to teach every scrub as it is always a one on one, they leave after the match and the cycle starts again

Around 2 months later, most of those noobs, who just downloaded the game "for the lolz", quitted as well.
Looking back, it was pretty obvious they would.
the Vets? they never returned.

Most of the Veteran players have already left as have most of the clans. Or the clans only have a few die-hards left playing LQQks at the Dagz clan activity

I teach novice lobby's every time i log in to guns Every-time. I have consistently taught lobby's since I have been semi average at the game. The reason the scrubs leave is they have such a small game pool to draw from & very few people with their low skill-set in Novice & it is over in some 57 games. That puts the scrub on and in an experienced lobby.

SO it is in the scrubs best interest to be humble! As they have no right taking a galleon at level 3 and telling you "fuck off i can fly what i like i bought the game" Pilot looks at lobby and ally guns and already knows there will be little point in engaging with the surly scub even advice is met with fuck off & that the match will end in defeat. For every scrub that mouths off to a decent friendly Pilot it may well put them off for teaching the next surly crew. I think people seem to forget that scrubs in this game are as more a hazard than the Vets were.

Cause & effect.

One match out of a few, some player kept saying cum. We were losing our pilot bailed. I was left to pilot the shitamidion we kept the low ally with us we were on damage control. Batwarren joined we thought were saved. Batwarren goes mental missing rams Bat is bonkers but we Dagz do like a nutter he is our Friend. We started to claw back kills slowly.

Enemy ally's split up
"well if you're not cumming hun"

We started to gain a few kills

"The cumback is real"

Enemy to enemy ally
"cuming now"

Eventually won

They then said
"I hate cum"

"Then stop drinkin' it mate"

Its really hard to keep track of the time when I got this game on.

And alt tabbing causes issues sometimes.

Alt + enter changes from full screen to windowed mode and vice versa without the need to go through options.

Well I have unresolved issues that I deal with when running multiple monitors at 2560*1440, and running GoIO at 1980*1080p on any of the 2560*1440 screens. The game does on occasion crash if I touch one of the other screens. It is so bizarre as no driver issues flash up and all system monitoring is fine. It says guns of icarus could not handle the....Maybe it is down to working in the background on the other monitors multi-taking is key in life. I also use DisplayFusion.

So i just curse the skies & launch the game again.
