Suedars said:I'd disagree with the one round on a map then switch one. When I started I remember it being extremely frustrating because I didn't know any of the normal spots where snipers would go, so I didn't know any of the safe routes or anything. Danzig and Jucha were especially bad. However once I sat down and played a map for 2 hours or so (Kaukausus I think it was) I began to have much more fun, and actually started to get kills. Switching maps every round would make it nearly impossible for new players to learn maps, which would be detrimental to their enjoyment in my opinion.
Hi guys. I just wanted to take a moment and give some suggestions for the admins running RO servers for the free week. These are suggestions only, so you can follow them or not, but these are thing we think will help give the new players that are trying the game during the free week the best first experiences of RO. These suggestions are only for this free week period.
Suggestions:.....

Just don't want to see a lot of new players after the free trial saying "where are all the FF off servers?"
And hopefully they don't say "screw that, I didn't waste my money on a shooter to have to worry about friendly fire!"
It's better for them to learn to play the game exactly as it will be normally. It's not the game that should be changed to accomodate them, it's us, the players. A lot of the new players will have heard by word of mouth or reading, that this game is based on realism, is much harder than the other games they play and has a longer learning curve. They come to this game with foul mouths and racist/homophobic comments as lots of us heard last night. They have to be told this player base is more mature and indeed, "camping" is now called actual defense, and being cheap just means you've found a good spot and they need to learn to adapt and move in another way.
It is us, the "veteran" players that have to accomodate them, by showing a lot of patience and explaining politely what might seem common sense. They just don't know yet for example that the hatches open, or that the faded out cap points can't be taken.
I think "nurfing" the setting for them will only increase the frustration level, as they'll get yelled at more for the TK's that will happen over and over (getting booted for accidental TK's is the best motivation to learn to manage ones shots/nades). They won't get an actual taste of the game. It will also bring out the idiots we all have to deal with night after night who know they can be even more of an idiot before getting booted.
I say keep the standard high and let them learn to like this game or not based on how good it really is. The players who like this sort of game, like most of us who come to the forums and play night after night, will stay and buy the game. The ones who just want the kiddy console type game won't like it and it's better if they don't buy it or get discouraged fast (to save us from their typically disrespectul exits).
