Title: Want to start RP/PVE faction to help new players?
Post by: JblakeR on December 17, 2012, 01:13:06 am
I love this game and I've been playing since alpha. I led The Hell's Angels briefly before the last wipe, we were small but we liked helping newbies get the hang of things. One thing about this game is that the average gamer, one who may have even played the old Fallouts, get's pk'ed a million times and gives up hope. Let's unite to stop this! I suggest starting a faction dedicated to assisting new players and immersing them in the game (hence RP/PVE) then sending them on their way. If they choose to stay, great! If not, well, enjoy your time in the wastes, join a new faction, whatever!

I believe we should follow a few basic principals.

1) NO PK (any player reported as pking will be immediately dismissed)
2) HELP OUT (if you meet a newbie, offer whatever assistance you can without taking away from their experience)
3) HAVE FUN (The Wasteland is a great place, once you get the hang of it! I love getting wasted in the Maltese Falcon then stumbling over to Iguana Bob's for some chow!)

I know there are a few factions trying to do this, but if we combine forces and spread the word we can expand the fanbase and draw more donations for our overlords, thus improving all of our experience!

Feedback is appreciated!

I recommend you join The Last Light (http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,24063.msg200665.html#msg200665)'s activities. No point for newbie-helpers to be in separated groups, especially nowadays with such a low population, anyway.

I'm in ! I've just started since an hour, and I've just hated been killed thousand and thousand times by random non friendly encounters, while all I just wanted, was to grow my char. This game is... kinda rough for begginers...
So if a non bad minded person could help me (paranoid, paranoid, pranoid, pranoid...), by any ways he can and wants, it would be a pleasure too meet him IG.
Untill this guy become pixelreal, I'll wait in the Vaultcity !

Moreover I think the JblackeR Idea is a good one, and I only can approve, over a hundred percent, this enterprise.

So play good, play free, have fun, and see ya IG maybe.  ;)

Well hello, sounds like a really wonderful group, and I hope you turn into a good faction! I'm currently not playing much, but I probably am going to try to get back into the game quite soon, so I'll be sure to contact you about this faction when I get going again!

Newb survival missions could be a good idea; basic stuff like how to procure equipment and avoiding trouble.

JblakeR, go for it! I'll help you when i can. Can you get your own IRC channel set up for this? Use TLL's too but get another one set up with your faction name on it and i'll chat there. Get enough people involved and we can get you a faction page on the wiki.

We have established ourselves as The Mad Cooks, and we have already built up several tent camps for new recruits and a central Outpost for trusted members. There are only 3 of us as it stands, but we are almost ready to start recruiting. All tent camps are close to trading and mining hubs, and our goal is to provide the necessary training for new players to gain a foothold in the wasteland. Obviously there are some administrative things we have to iron out first, but look for us to get started in the coming month(s)

I don't play from the last wipe, now are 4 days from my return in the wastelands, but my char is 17 lv again so I am not totally rusted. I have collected some brahmin hides to give to new players , and I usually give some thing to the scum of NCR bazaar, if you need help for going around with the beginners (a taxi for bring them to the quest place or to get the low level encounter - mantis and radscorpio) I will gladly help. I am usually at NCR bazaar,  character name Duna.

If you like to roleplay Duna is a citizien of Vault City, she have a grudge vs ghouls and mutants, but love booze to much to be a faithful citizien like she want to believe.
