Beginner's Protection
« on: June 29, 2010, 01:02:44 pm »

Just wondering aas it would help a lot of beginners to the game as i've only been playing an hour or two and already died about 6 times, which really does ruin the game.

sadly your poll is flawed. it's on the forum, most new players only come here for a second to bitch about how stupid the game is and then never log in again.

voted yes anyway. when i started i lost so much shit in the one pixel between NCR and my tent. particularly guns and ammo books and other hard to replace items, always by PKers, just turning off player encounters for the first week would be enough to fix the game.

You encounter scorpions, radscorpions and 'random player'.
you: peace?
random player: okay
you were critically hit in the eyes for 2948298 hit points and were killed
random player: LOL thats a good crit
random player: soz bro, wasteland is harsh (while stroking his dick) oh oh yeah oh wasteland is so harsh oh oh yes yes oh its so harsh oh its getting harsher oh i'm almost there oh oh god yes its so harsh PK me PK me! PK ME HARSHER! OH YEA DON'T STOP Oh oh oh... oh

I play this game purely to kill such people that think they can play the game safely and never get killed. You expect fun from this game? No fun. Gonna find you and kill you, and shit on your dead body. I'm going online to find more noobs :D

yah than u have people abuse this lvl1 invunerability with stealing, sucicde bombing as if this isnt bad enough now. This community should really rise to help takecare of noobies imo, not have the game developers implement protection for noobs. The big problem facing noobs is that they have no way to store their stuff so dying means losing everything. I have made > 10 chars highest lvl is 3, all broke and homeless. 2 of them still ban by the GMs with their excellent fastlogin detection.

No.

No "noobs protection", "newbie towns", "1-lvl godmode" or other stupidity. If you can't play it without Guardian Angel, then simply don't play.

And to store your stuff there is a tent, made from 10 brahmin hides.

Implying prevailing non-friendly-to-newbies policy :>

Id rather see something more sophisticated, I know its all unfallouty, but it isnt even a bit pro joy of play. I know that wasteland is harsh, but consider one thing: Since the wipe theres a division of Hq & normal minerals which excluded mining alts and improved the game for the elite people but worsened it for loners, newbies, low-lvls where no armor is in the shop because of ridiculous requirements (LAmk2) made of boosted (2 times hp of golden gecko) animals.

Im against fake newbie policy, Id rather see boost in low-tier armors and lesser requirements... you hardly kill/see/get killed with an armour on, compare that to prewipe, everyone got something on, now not, PKrs have a heaven right now and I think devs have all lvls 21 :p

If you want to help newbies ingame just do it, the mechanic is right there.

Well I like the all "deal with it. wasteland is harsh."  ;D Just I dont know what other MMO is like that. Or we preserve "being different" policy :p. The gameplay is ok for lvl 21 but thats not the same for starting ones. If lvl 21's could have their boosted hp npcs because it was too booring why cant some lower lvl group have easier life as well? This question haunts me in the night when I read this forum  :-\

Lol, landslide victory for No.
And for a good reason.
Wasteland is tough, you should get used to it early on.
Good learning experiences etc.
