well we were overdue for one of these YOURE ALL MEAN posts
dont let the door hit you on the way out

I remember you from those games, and i noticed that you were a bit annoying. You made a lot impolite comments about your teammates and the enemies.

You also spammed for bbrs which annoyed our commander a lot and almost resulted in a boot for you.

Usually most people don't care how much you suck because you are a newbie and we know that. But if you are annoying and impolite towards us don't expect us to be friendly and helpful.

Be so nice and come back, read this at least once and try again. Allegiance is without doubt the most newb-friendly community i've ever seen.

Lexaal.

P.S. I wasn't the one that bitched at you. Instead i tried to ignore you.

I'm only going to cover this once.

Hello! Look at me! I'm a newbie!

I have identified these three essential problems with your game. I'm sure that nobody else has ever had my ideas and I demand that a dev drop everything and implement my plan to FIX ALLEGIANCE immediately. I scorn to read any of the posts in the dev forums before I post this, as I know you will all be awed by my brilliance. You may thank me for deigning to spend time on you now.

(Believe it or not, we know more about the game than you do! That's why we are vets and you... well, you aren't.)

Even if your post fits none of these archetypes (each of which has been posted MANY times, just to be clear), you should not post if

1. You have already posted a new thread in that forum today.
2. You cannot spell (some lenience is granted for non-native English speakers, as long as they make a good-faith attempt).
3. You cannot punctuate.

If you have reached this point and still think it's a good idea to post; you are probably wrong. But go ahead anyway, we probably won't rip you to shreds.

Probably.

May I suggest to this new player that here learns how to #mute the person telling him he is a idiot

This is acceptable.

Quitting is stupid. People may annoy you but there are less annoyances here than most other communities.

Also get into AFS or Cadet if you really want to learn

Dracus_Prime wrote:QUOTE (Dracus_Prime @ Apr 12 2010, 05:58 PM) Well, Alleg has a lot of good points. However, it has a low population, a high learning curve, and a lot of old drunken idiots with no lives that play and bash noobs. I would like to thank Babelfish and TheCorsair for being among the... well the only players that were helpful while learning to play this game. I have seen mmo's far superior to this one die because of the sheer number of douchebags in the playing community when the population was already low and the learning curve was high. This was my second time trying to get into this game, the only one of its kind at the moment, but like the last time, about a year ago, I just find there isn't any patience for those learning the game, after a month or so and still making a goof or two only to be ranted on against for 10 minutes being repeatedly told I am a retard for some minor thing (like only equipping 1 dis2 instead of all three slots w/ dis 2 when we are being attacked by an effing bbr with nan support by a guy that say we gives commands to go and doesn't, then spews profanity at everyone for not following a command that was never given and he isn't com anyway) without letting up I just quit.

Sick of that sort of endless bashing happening, and since it just wasn't going to stop for hours I just plain quit. Not just that match, the game in general. There is no real great strategy for teaching new players and unforgiving consequences for even the slightest mistakes. There are not enough players for newbie games and w/o vets teaching newbies there is little point in newbie games anyway. So a GAME which is supposed to be FUN isn't fun when every time you PLAY you are told you are a RETARD, SHUT THE F*CK UP, WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU... etc. etc. As a gamer I know loosing sucks, however, there needs to be some way that new players can learn from vets w/o being a burden and destroying their scores, and furthermore, people need to learn the line between frustration and relentlessly beating a guy down and going on, and on, and on when it was a simple mistake (and we killed the bbr anyway).

In a large game the mistakes of a new player can be dissipated among the masses, however, with a small playing population this can't happen. As this game is SO dependent on individual's actions that an entire team of vets can fail from a single mistake and have their overall ranking affected (actually, downgraded?) is a recipe for EPIK PHAIL. Also, with this ranking system that pits wins vs. losses, it is essentially the case that for a new player to rank up, a veteran has to be demoted as there are a fixed number of rank points in the community, unless there is some other way to get experience points or w/e you may call it, I believe this would have to be the case.

So there you have it, those are my parting criticisms as I don't like to simply leave in a bloody rage, I like to be politically correct about it (but you’re all douchebags and that is really the only reason I quit, because it isn't fun anymore to be raged at for half an hour). So, adios and hope (with the exception of the two aforementioned players) lot of you burn in hell.

So he got yelled at by a dude and quit?

QUOTE To be fair to Dracus there was a vet laying into him and the rest of the team specifically tonight.


He is however incorrect when he says there's no organised new player training.

I hope you calm down and stay Dracus. While I say that have you checked out the Flight School?


I also believe you have badly misunderstood the ranking system.

Anyway - I hope you calm down and reconsider - the voob who was ranting was on the boundaries of what I consider acceptable, and when I asked for calm he stopped.[/quote]

Ok... yes. I calmed down... I will have to reinstall the game lol

wow, my bad. However, yes I have applied for ASF and never got a response. And no I have never posted a negative response or anything along the lines of a rant before. and I did not mention names, nor will I untill i get really pissed off. A least I got some attenton, I'll shut up but somebody respond to my caddet 2 pls. Cumulatavely between my old and my new acoounts I've played almost 4 months of the game, and I play almost every day, and btw, nuke is my favorite comander. But wth is incharge of afs and why can I not find out ho the current person is? I have commed and piloted scouts to bbrs to cap ships.

QUOTE You complain about the lack of newbie support, yet I can find no trace of your having applied to our flight school or cadet program. Learning from those could well have let you avoid making many of the mistakes you claim to have made, and indicated to others that you were willing and in the process of learning.

But I guess you were just too good to learn from us douchebags.

Have fun pew-pewing in CS/WoW/etc.

Like I said I did most certainly apply, I am not too good to learn from vets, I have been a vet, a beta and an update tester, a form moderator, a guild manager, and also a guild leader (there is a difference depending on the game) in several games. However in the afs postng said it is not currently active and is still being rewritten even though I applied anyway, but likeI said I recieved no response.

No that wasn't me lex, that guy was a total newb, I was in that game though, I don't rember who that was but it was a zero. No I knew were going for gals that game. And yes, lex (although I haven't played much) you aren't a douche, athough I hadn't really interacted with you at all. I was not impolite as a matter of fact I tried to help the poor newb. Well ok I did tell him to STFU by the end when he started to spam "Need Bombers" but w/e.
********************************************************************************
******************************************************
And yes, to an extent I do belive that the rank system is unfair in that veteran players can be so HUGELY impacted by new players and I say that needs to change, but the gameplay in general is great in alleg.

So in conclusion, like you all knew I would, I newb raged: (as opposed to vet raged) and I come back. HOWEVER, I cannot be called a *compete* douchebag as I did not name names XD. But alas I am the fool newb(/voob, but three months apparently in this game isn't all that long I am realizing), so laugh and point, but do be nice to new players.

HA, i think i found out why, he never reached 10 post count till today
wewt

I'll give you a tip right now, if you read the chat in game actively and listen to what the commander or whoever is taking control of the situation is telling you then your going to save yourself from a lot of yelling.

Trying to be useful but failing is acceptable, but not even making an attempt is just plain stupid both for you and the rest of the team.
