How do YOU Treat new PR Members? :D - Page 4

[R-COM]H.sta · 01-21-2010, 05:09 PM

I like the fact that most realism -Clanmembers decide to help, instead of the "read the manual" thing everyone says

all the clans i have been in just drop what they are doing and help the new guys, last week i spent five minutes explaining to someone why it was not a good idea to take the sniper kit.

i think i pissed of my Turkish squadmate though... sorry whoever you were, but i think the newcomer learnt something

like: hard to find a squad that wants you if the first thing you say is "how do i get a sniper kit"

i am a bit more angry about the fact that almost every single reply from a non realism clanmember was "RTFM"

I LOVE to see new PR members and help them. It makes me think about my first days of PR, and what kind of help I would have wanted. So I try to help them as much as I can and tell them a little bit about the different servers and communities mainly. Because people that don't have a community usually don't play pr for very long.

So when you help them, tell them that. That they should join a clan with a forum or something.

Badly - like everyone else

Only kidding.

I try to keep them away from anything that needs skill, gunning, flying, LAT, HAT, Grenadier, Medic, etc.

I try to convince them to go Rifleman so they can get to grips with the game first

Whenever I get a new PR member on my squad I attempt to treat them the best I can and explain everything, but invariably want to kill/kick them by the end of the map for picking 9000+ sniper/pilot kits and then blowing up the team with a rocket by mistake. Just say no, seriously!

I make sure the person read the damn manual or i'll kick them.

I read it, nobody can understand PR 100% as soon as they start.

over the last few years my patience has been exhausted. so i have very little patience for new players unfortunately and it normally results in kicks. but that not exclusive to new players, i find myself kicking players at least once a game.

"whats the shovel for"
"burying your poo on long missions"

a few mins later

"why is my screen red"
"You need to poo, take out your shovel"

Then laugh at the new guy running around with shovel out under enemy fire

I try to treat as best as I can....well, I'm pretty new myself so... :P
But some squadmates get irritated pretty easily

I only help them if I'm not busy myself.

[R-DEV]masaq - It's rather difficult to "apprehend" a Tu-95... you try persuading a 200-ton aircraft to land somewhere it doesn't want to, when it has enough fuel to get home and it knows you can't/won't shoot it down
