Don't you get it? Do you really think that anyone griping about ghost-heat, gauss delay, or any other feature gives two tugs on a dead dog's **** about new players? Do you think the OT really cared about the rookie he fragged? Grieving about the nerf that made your favorite build harder to play, but framing it in terms of its "impact on new players" gives you the opportunity to cry like a little girl about how you can't field the cheeze-whiz build you've been abusing, play the "concerned member of the MWO community," and wag the epeen all at once!

I was actually trying to establish that this was the reason instead of just blatantly accusing

Hold time on charged gauss too low, I have booked days (gametime) and I could barely get the hang after 3 miserable matches. Always try and help new players
more players = more Fun

PS i never have had a 3+ ppc anything except when 8Q was stock and never ran a 2ppc+gauss

Yeah, it's rampant, it's shameless, it's obvious, and it really bugs me... "What about the children!?" and all of that. Sorry if I blew up your subtle post with my blatantly accusing sarcasm.

Well I made the thread and never mentioned ghosts or one single thing a new player who can "bang rocks together" could've expected to pick up on aside from Patch Notes and the forums.....why his new Gauss didn't go bang on his new mech, first few matches into the experience.


THAT should be available information in game to a fledgling new pilot or they simply won't like playing. Since they are the "silent majority," we will never hear about it until the playerbase has hit rock bottom, what with veteran players departing too.

I always take time helping new players getting familiar with the game. If anyone shoot their own team member at the beginning of match, I'm not hesitate to react

It is a shame that so many find typing "Press F4" in response, such a difficult and obviously demeaning task. Especially with +/- 2 minutes of running to the center of the Map, just to die like Lemmings, ahead of them.

It might be a supprise to established Players but newbies actually can read and watch YouTube Videos. They are well linked on the Site. They may not teach everything and include ghost heat but they are good!
If i care to Download a 2-3gb File i expect a gameplay that is more complicated than angry Birds. And i expect to die the First 25 Games rather quickly. even guessing that one of the F1-F4 keys changes the view is not rocket science, if you played a PC game before.
So stop talking about us as if we are idiots. I even found this threat. So hooray!

No offense intended, glad you are playing!

However, the new guy in my match and maybe even yourself, probably had no idea that the gauss rifle did nothing no matter how many times you might just click on it.
