TO ALL NEW PLAYERS!

[NOD Flamer]

As of now there's been a massive influx of new players, and here are some tips for you new players in order to not frustrate the existing player base and shoot yourself in the foot.

Squad is a team game that requires communication and logistics in order to win!
So here are some tips:

1: DO NOT CREATE A SQUAD!
You have no experience with the game, and you will more than likely piss people off on your team and make the team loose the first portion of the game.
So instead join a squad and tell your squad leader that you are new, and ALWAYS follow your Squad Leader's commands!
Also as a new player you will not be able to control local, squad and team radios communication. So let someone else be a squad leader.

2: Communication.
As stated above, join a squad and tell your SL that you are new.
Every player is willing to forgive fatal mistakes you make, if you are new.
But nobody can know if you are new, if you don't tell them.

3: Follow Orders!!!!!!!
I've seen this happen way too many times.
Listen to your Squad Leader and follow his commands. DO NOT wander off randomly on the battlefield. Stay with your Squad and Squad Leader.
If you are unsure about your orders, radio your squad leader on what to do next.

4: Pick Easy To Use Kits.
Don't pick a kit that requires experiene and knowledge, like for example HAT or LAT. If you are new it's best to start of with the basics so that you don't get confused or yelled at or get stressed out.
Start with Rifleman, Medic or Automatic Rifleman.

I shall wait for a month or so to let them get more hours... as for now, we enjoy 20-30 minutes map wins and kill counts of 30-50 per match and zero deaths. I find it amusing xD

5. Do NOT join Servers/Squads which say "no noobs" , "experienced players", "veterans", "tactics", "microphone" etc.
ONLY join server which say "new player friendly" etc.
You ruin the game for urself and for everyone playing with you by joining the wrong servers/squads.

Had a Squad Leader who was new to the game and didn't tell anyone until we were more than 5 minutes in the game. And all of us were screaming at him where we would build the radio, but he didn't knew how it worked until he told us he was new and I took SL from him.....

Than this new guy kept ignoring my orders, and walked the map randomly and kept requesting vehicle claims... Because he kept respawning on main instead of the HAB or my Rally....

I get it that people are new, but they should know that this isn't Battlefield.

Game needs rank system, so servers and squads have the option to get experience locked.

Squad more than doubled its playerbase, it is noob mayhem everywhere, every server. Completely unplayable right now.

No, ranking systems ♥♥♥♥ up the game in the long run.
Like with every sale squad has new players, which is good for the health of the game.

Problem is that those players are inexperienced until they actualy PLAY the game.
They can't learn to play if they're all locked into the same server, it takes time for the player base to adjust again.
I give it 2 months before you can play as before again.

i dont want every server to be locked but i at leaste want SOME.
wait 2 months? how fcking stupid is that?! Just bring ranks like every single other multiplayer game, whoever veteran has fun teaching them can then do it, but those who do not would have had at least some servers to still play the game on properly.

If you want to learn a language you stick to those who are able to talk, not to those who are learning by themselves.. This only leads to an drift into a different gamementality and this is what you want to prevent from happening...
Splitting is worse then combining. You for one was there too when you started. So give others the chance you ve had too

How exactly would that lead to more situations like this?
And y, noone likes cheaters, what does that has to do with the topic anyways?
If anything some rank locked servers would filter out newly created cheater accounts and give more integrity in that regard?

y, but i had a mic, took my time to watch youtube guides AND most importantly i was only playing noob friendly servers. I was "accepting" the community rules, but the problem is right now you have SO many noobs who dont have a clue about them or do not care at all.

It is not about "spliting" its about ensuring a decent player experience for all skillevels. Literally 90% of multiplayer games do exactly that and for good reason.

I had 2 games in my last session where 5 of the guys in my squad said it's their first game ever.

I'm seeing about 2 squads each game where the SL doesn't have an SL kit and at least one other squad with a first time SL.

I'd say it's an unprecedented influx of new players.

As for the topic, all good points.
