Ultra Noobie Annoyances

I dont know what she did in the game coz I havent even met her IG but its not about what she did in the past but what she did now in the post you cannot rely on past glory for everything . The reply to this topic could have been a better one instead of telling them to go away. I guess you share the same opinion so that who complains should get out of the game instead of trying to solve them. I have seen lots of new players complaining about the same problems too IG and I told them how we all go through the same thing and showed them how to get over it and how  to make shortcuts. Its simple unless you want to be a snob who sticks their small group and those who criticize it you say its coz of them we dont help ...wow I donno how a reply like this will make a person not bother to help anymore. And I am saying this coz not all  people are same, yeah some wont be able to tolerate it and will complain not everyone is born smart or with high tolerance level so if you dont help atleast dont do the opposite thats what I wanted to say. And yeah my last post was in complete fit of rage and I am sorry for it coz I have already seen too many people discouraging new players in game so yeah it pissed me off.
anyways

Do some quests and build enough cash for two weapons then try duel wielding for what it is worth. When last played, PS didn't have penalties for duel wielding.

This is helpful advice. I help all the time but now I warn people when they might be waste their time which is why I put the first post. You're problem is that I'm not cheerleading to get more people to struggle to play the game and get player counts up. But, the reason people don't struggle with it is because of a sense that the return is not proportional to the effort put in, not unless you count it as an inverse square that turns out little return for a lot of effort. But ok then smarty pants practice what you preach, get on topic and give a friendly answer rather than rant. But on a side note welcome, technically you are now part of the problem of turning away newbies as rage posts also scare away newbs that think there is too much drama connected with the game.


Oh and <3 Aiwe, but I told you back before I quit that for all the work I did it meant nothing. Isn't being helpful in PS so fufilling and rewarding?

  I didnt realise that as I said I am a new player myself

your point is right not everyone is gonna like that ratio, I didnt either but I was shown better ways and helped not told to leave the game or I would have already. And I didnt ask anyone to "cheerlead" either just not to do the opposite if I didnt make my point clear. And as for this thread he had his replies already and if he needs further help IG I am always ready for it he just have to find me in the game or send a /tell. As for someone who has left the game shouldnt go around telling others to leave as well but let them decide for themselves.

Well, then wait till you have played for at least a year and then look back on this. If you make it to a year, you might understand better why help is often clipped and older players often don't bother to pat people on the head. Also, you will find more experienced players, whether they still play or not, on IRC. A lot of the players still in game are also new and so IRC is a good way to get in contact with people who have played the game for more than a few months and can help. It is also good because devs and GM can be reached there as well. But if you are a new player you probably don't know all of this so someone has to tell you to look in IRC.


And I don't know about you but I give people credit for having brains, free will and the ability to make their own decisions regardless of whether or not I suggest to leave a game that might be bothersome to them. Funnily enough, all I can do is suggest here. I never crossed into mind control land where I can force people to leave just by mere suggestion.

A young female Hammerwielder wearily steps through Hydlaa's north gate. Although young she carries a bitterness. That bitterness is with a One Eyed Rat's focus on its mark and any followers.

Hehe...in a way you are right about that. For a very long time I thought addressing problems is a good way to start a discussion about them. But I learned the hard way that mentioning problems of PS in public only gets you in troubles here. So wait a bit longer until you played for some time and then ask yourself again if warning new players of the general attitude of PS team to allow them to avoid the same pitfalls others already fell in isn't one of the most important hints a new player could get.
