Thread: Fun with new players
Great post.
It's nice to see alot of new players around. Hopefully it'll help breathe some life into the game.
I've had numerous newbies stop me, and ask where i got my stylin' armor at. I hate to break the bad news to them, but they need to save up for a long time to get a full suit of Imperial Scout Trooper armor.
I have been meeting alot of the new players though, because i've been doing some of those new starter quests they just made.
Absolutely great post.
Done similar myself.
And yes, it is fun to watch the carnage when noobs get jumped. I saw a convoy of them that had gone imperial and were unguilded. They may have been on their way to the Ryatt trails or just wonderingbut were never toarrive attheir destination.
They were slaughtered wholesale by the wookies along the river. It was a tangled mess of noob corpses and exploding bikes.
I just looked on in surrealfascination thinking...better a wookie thana kreetle.
If you are near a high cliff then go prone and pretend you have mountain climing skills by actually crawling up the slope!
I actually did this a few times with my ranger and amazed a few new players and even some veterans. Not a lot of people know that terrain negotiation above 50 actuallyincreases your crawling speed.
I like the mountain climbing idea. You can tell noobs that you can climb mountains due to your +50 mountain climbing hawt pants that you looted off a lizard.
Seeing a convoy of bikes expode is funny. I did give out some swoops to some new players. They were using their BARC speeders and I warned them about getting them disabled. I'm sure some listened and then again I am sure there are some BARC's in need of repair.
And yes, it is terribly fun to walk thru a group of creatures unscathed while the rest of the group gets lots of bite marks.
