Beginner's Help and Guides / Re: 1 kill 53 deaths.

Actually, I'm already level 19 or so and do pretty well.

I'm giving feedback on my experiences during the early days, and a complaint I have heard most often is "It's rough and not fun to be new".

So, how about, rather than instantly jumping on the "This person is complaining and needs to shut up."

We all think for a moment "Let's listen to a person's feedback and come up with a way to improve the game for those numerous complaints."

So please, some maturity would not go amiss.


I suggested the idea, that there should be servers only open to new players, however, as yet, nobody is to actually give any response to this.

Oh come on, nobody sits at x1 for 11 hours.

At the very least, you should average a multiplier near x2, which makes leveling to 20... what? Six hours of playing at best. That's two light evenings of playing.

In that time, you should have plenty to do, like i said in my post above. And you CAN kill people under level 20, it's really not that hard. Us 'veterans' get a 1 in 10 k:d or better under level 20. So don't act like you are forced to leech for days on end. It's just not true.

Actually, if you assume the average win ratio is 50:50, given both teams are balanced an on a balance map, it would therefore mean that, in some cases, for every round a play would win, they were therefore lose one afterwards, making 1x the most common result, meaning 11 hours is much more possible to happen than six hours.

However, in a realistic situation, the actual length of time, is probably more likely to be closer to 8 hours. Unless you get lucky.

How are you not forced? Have you looked into the numbers exactly? Have you compared the Kills to Death of new players and compared these to higher levelled players?

Although, saying that, K/D is completely worthless, what's more much important is the feeling of worth in a battle.

Are you honestly telling me that a new player is going to feel worthwhile in a battle while getting one-shot and racking up a horrible death ratio?

To me, to imply as much would assume a complete lack of understanding of people playing the game.

While it's nice to reference veterans, new players are not veterans, and defaulting to "Lol lern 2 play" is not good design.

Play DTV for the first few levels then.

I refer to my statement of fun, but, yes, that's entirely possible.

At x1 Multiplier it takes you almost 11 hours to reach 20.

So, unless your running around constantly with 5x, "2 hours" is completely wrong.

2-4 hours, however, may be possible, if you constantly have 3x-4x, which is also highly unlikely.

I fail to see the "Challenge" in running around, getting 1 shot and waiting until you have enough money and EXP to actually be useful.

The simple fact is that, getting 1 shot and barely even doing damage to people is not going to be fun for a good number of people.

Ideally, a newbie server or something like that would be the best idea.

A lot of people seem to be forgetting fun is the most important thing that should be happening.

Not fun to die 53 times and kill 1 person.
