To the OP, I hope your friend can learn to ignore the goits and enjoy the rest.

Maybe i'm just feeling a little annoyed at the fact that she feels she can't team with others simply because she's worried they'll say something about how she's chosen to create her character, Which is making me a little biased I know it's not everyone and i did mention in my first post I'm not tarring everyone with the same brush, there are plenty of respectable people in this game. Minority ruins it for the rest.

For me personally i like the social aspect of the game. I like to play as well as chat and have a laugh. There is a guy who is probably going to read this, who is funny as hell and i absolutely adore teaming with him, he usually has me in fits of laughter by the end of the night, though he won't post on the forums for some reason. I also have a penchant for dying which i find quite refreshing. I have brought my friend into this environment now and she's enjoying herself like she should be.

I just wonder how many new people leave because they don't get to experience this due to the fact that emphasis is placed more on your build and power combinations than actual fun. I don't feel it's anyone else's job to be telling others how they should be playing/how to build a character, unless they ask you too. People should be allowed to have whatever powers they like and whatever power selection they like without fear of repercussions from others.

Maybe that's an ideal world but i don't think it's unachievable.

once again i totally agree with u, i havent posted much on the forums myself really, normally just read them, but thats mainly due to the fact that sometimes i see peeps getting blasted for no reason just for having an opposing opinion even tho they are polite and not forcing said opinion on anyone, but after reading the start of this thread i thought sod it, if i wanna post im gonna post and as long as im polite and friendly and not condescending etc etc then if someone still gets ratty just cos my opinion may differ im not gonna be put off, cos it does annoy me to see people acting as if they own the forums and think that if ur opinion doesnt totally agree with theirs they start ranting and being rather nasty to u, having said that tho while annoying as that is, in the grand scheme of things it is more of a minority and the vast amount of peeps on here are genrally nice

However she is scared to death of teaming with some people because if she makes a single mistake or doesn't do something, they treat her like the worlds going to end and that she's a world class idiot, When really she's just new to the game and is learning the ropes.

my worst case of this was when i decided to try out using a tank for the first time, at some point i got invited to a team, i warned the person that i was new to being a tank and that i hadnt yet mastered the art of taunting away a foe or herding them or whatever its called, anyway they said that was no problem, however once in this mission i was asked to draw away a certain foe, i tried to do this but failed as i ended up managing to draw a whole mob towards us and most of us died, the leader then started ranting at me and said i was obviously a complete idiot and should not bother using a tank and kicked me from team. i hate it when things like that happen as i felt it was unfair, after all i had warned them that id never had a tank b4 and was still practising taunting etc and for them to say it was no problem and then rant at me calling me an idiot is totally uncalled for

Some think that because they've been here longer or played the game a while, it is their right to treat everyone else like idiots, Like they're lower than they are just because they don't play 7 days a week. I have a dear friend who is relatively new to the game and i'm doing my best to teach her all about it. However she is scared to death of teaming with some people because if she makes a single mistake or doesn't do something, they treat her like the worlds going to end and that she's a world class idiot, When really she's just new to the game and is learning the ropes.

sadly i have to agree with the OP that this is sadly the case, ive come across this attiude myself a few times just cos im a noob who has only been with the game since august 2008, thankfully in my case my boyf has himself been playing this game for 3 years so he was able and willing to help me out alot without me being told im an idiot just cos theres something i dont know & he was able to introduce me to a SG that were all friendly to me and could help me if he wasnt available, which they do, so while im here id like to say a big ty to 47 Ties for being gr8 sadly its the "elitist" attitude some peeps have that will put off newcomers who dont already have friends, partners or whatever to help them out from continuing with the game and then its normally these very people who moan bout low population, Imo if it bothers them that much then they have two choices, A. go to the US servers wheres theres a bigger population, or B. try and be a bit more considerate of noobs who are still learning the game, after all, THEY were noobs once!

p.s just want to add that i know not all people who have been playing this game for a number of years are like this, tho there are a fair number of "elitists" out there i have met just as many long standing vetrans who are great and helpful

Scrappers... They're just.. bleh!

[/ QUOTE ]

me personally i find scrappers the easiest to play wether solo or team, but that just me, everyone has ther own opinion and style of playing, but the hardest for me to get along with ? for me its Tanks, but thats just me, i know plenty of peeps who prefer tanks

great suggestion Floating fat man, cant believe no-one thought of it b4 hopefully they will take this suggestion on board, have u suggested it to them ?

my highest lvl character has just reached 47, ive had the account almost 5 months, but 1 month it was inactive, plus i share the pc with my boyf, so all in all i think ive done well to get to 47

Merry Xmas everyone! hope everyones looking forward to it sadly i wont get a chance to play between time of this post and saturday got my mother coming to stay and she raises hell if i play any sort of game for as little as 10 minutes even, but at least i will have the doctor who special to cheer me up Xmas day lol also this year will be the first Xmas meal ive had to cook, i know its just a roast but its the most important meal of the year and knowing me id be bound to do something wrong when all the shops are closed lol anyone else got a annoying family memeber who they have to see at xmas ? mines my mum, love her but as shes got a drink problem it will make things a bit awkward as on boxing day my crazy step-mum has invited me over to her and my dads for the evening and insisted i bring my mum along, the womans crazy what is she thinking ???

thanks for the welcome my boyfs been playing it for three years too i got additced wen we got together 8 months ago but i coulnt afford my own account at the time so i just used his, at the mo i only have two characters, im waiting for issue 13 to come out b4 i make anymore

i think phantom's right a cox movie would be great even if its rubbish it would still be great as its about the game we all enjoy, i only been playing the game for 2 months and im so addicted im not getting much housework done lol

u keep dreaming about it and possible new costumes for new characters
