A New Face

Vergial · Post by **Vergial** » Fri Sep 19, 2008 1:40 am

I'm new, as the title states rather plainly.

Since I'm tired and sore (freakin' work), I'll keep things relatively short: I came here hoping to find a mature gaming community that also knows how to have fun. I want to play an online game without being called any number of racial slurs or what-have-you. And it seems I may have finally found a game with a community that will more than suit this.

I know every game has its group of good and bad people (except XBox Live, that has nothing but bad it seems), but here's hoping the good REALLY outweighs the bad.

I'm really looking forward to meeting new faces, flying with them, and possibly killing them too. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

I've yet to complete Cadet I officially, but I have read a ton of the material. I think I have finally found a game that I can REALLY be into.

In advance, I wanna thank everyone for having me, and for putting up with my nonsense. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I hope I can be a real help when it comes to the Squad Matches.

/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Hello.

Here's my standard newbie advice:
Remember that although there are nice people here, if you make a thread on somthing that isn't totally correct on the forums in the next four months, you will be flamed. If you make a thread on something that is correct on the forums, people will first laugh at you because they already knew that, then will flame you. Of course, there are people like me who won't flame you, but you still need to be careful. Participating in threads has had much better results than making them.
That being said, the trick to being useful in game is to realize that dogfighting is not what wins games. Pay attention to the minimap and what the commander says, then actually do it, and the commander will love you more than most other players.

Hope to see you in game. Good luck

P.S. People here are nice, just don't give them an excuse to pounce.

Mature gaming community...

You want to play bingo?

Thanks for the greetings, everyone. To Sambasti especially for the advice, I'll keep it in mind.

No doubt I'll make a mistake somewhere. No one is perfect. But I'll do my best to keep them to a minimum.

Well let me tell you now that this game, like ANY other online game has its fair share of trash talking. I'm not about to call you a racial slur but if you can't handle the usual ribbing (stuff that you would expect in a locker room or similar) you might not fall in love with the community.

Trash talk I can handle. It's more of the XBox Live type stuff that sickens me, hearing a 13-year-old speaking words that REALLY shouldn't be said by them. I'll be fine.
