In-game Tips

yes, it could also help the community get a larger player base as well!

 

tutorial imo

 

Back on MCPVP (in the days when I was only a half-noob) I wondered what the point of those tips were since I never really realized how stupidly confusing the game could be to a new player. These days, I see new players using pyro with nothing but the ax (no frenzy), people who never use steak, and generally kids calling hacks because people aren't "getting hit" or whatever other accusations.

So yes, bring back the tips. and bring back wool loll

 

Definitely a useful idea. Also I've finally given in and gotten teamspeak, you win.

 

Anyone remember back on mcpvp they added a book that explained all the mechanics? No? ok.
(not like it'd help anything right now)

But yes there should be a tutorial or walkthrough on the mechanics of the game. Maybe /help could bring up a gui where a player can select the class they need help with and they'd get all the info on it, how to use, how to counter, ect.

 

It'd help the players that would actually be interested in getting help. +1

 

I agree with this. I also agree with bringing back wool and #RefRank.

 

These tips were how I learned to block when I see an Assassin. They were a huge help and I'd love to see them added back.

 

tbh i want clan tags more, **** the new players xddd

 

I do think more tips would help newer people understand different aspects of the game (soldiers can wall-climb, assassins can instakill and you can block them, etc). However, I do think there is more as a community we can do. Try and help those who are confused, teach them how to do certain things, etc. Instead of saying "walk into spawn to cap", lead them to the flag and show them how to actually cap. Instead of saying "Lol wat a rand33 xd" when someone asks why soldiers are fly-hacking, actually explain what soldier is and what it can do. This would significantly help the community and ctf as a whole, since it would make this community much less toxic, and would also get more people into this community. Of course there will always be those "randees" who do not know what to do, but if we all try to help one person at a time, more people will come and help overall with things like teams.

Spoiler: Why this works and why it is important

A young man is walking along the ocean and sees a beach on which thousands and thousands of starfish have washed ashore. Further along he sees an old man, walking slowly and stooping often, picking up one starfish after another and tossing each one gently into the ocean.

“Why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?,” he asks.

“Because the sun is up and the tide is going out and if I don’t throw them further in they will die.”

“But, old man, don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it! You can’t possibly save them all, you can’t even save one-tenth of them. In fact, even if you work all day, your efforts won’t make any difference at all.”

The old man listened calmly and then bent down to pick up another starfish and threw it into the sea. “It made a difference to that one.”

 

"(jk, we need these tips to help out people like Zekrom when he has the flag @Miskey )."

Officially triggered

 

It's been months, and this still isn't implemented into the game. This would not only help new players, but give them a few tips on how to get better. This is still a very relevant thread.

 

Definitely support this. It shouldn't be too difficult to add either, there is a command for it, it just needs the original texts back.

 

Here's my thoughts on this subject.

Upon the first time someone joins the server, they have an option to take a turorial. It will have general explanations about classes, objectives, etc. This happened the first time I joined Wild West (when CTF was down), and it was very helpful. That being said, the tips would still help as well!
