Warning to noobs

don't tell anyone you're a noob.

from Demigod Forums

I got this game on Sunday (3 days ago) and I played single player a few times, then multi player.  I played at least 3 hours on all nights. Sunday night was bad, Monday night was good for some reason then last night was even worse, as if everyone I'd played until last night, had been newer than me.

 

So I join a game that doesn't specify 'no noobs' or 'pro' or 'good' or whatever and we start playing. I'm oak using some build off the net, and I get double teamed and run away but some shit happens like... beast spit then regulus snipe as I'm running, and I die. so I say to my teammates: ok I'm a noob any advice is welcome

teammate 1: OMFG IT NEVER FAILS

teammate 2: have you even bothered to play single player?

me: yes.

teammate 1 *ragequits*. seriously.

teammate 2, to all: ok guys sorry we have a noob on our team, I'm leaving *leaves*

me, to all: ok sorry I don't know what that was all about *concedes*

There are a lot of jerks in online play, it's an unfortunate effect of having an online game. That said, I doubt that would be the majority response. Most people I've seen/played with would have probably offered advice and been very happy that you were asking for help rather than just blazing ahead (like so many of the self dubbed pros tend to do even if their strategy is failing).

Sorry that you got a bad game, but please don't either A: blame the entire community for a pair of morons or B: stop asking for help. Both are good things and the fact that two people were too concerned with having to win to help someone else isn't the norm. As a side note dying to a double team is not a noob action, especially not a UB+Reg double team. 90% of players out there would die to that, simply because it's one of the highest burst damage mid-long range combos.

Normally you'll find at least 1 person on your team willing to help you out. And occassionaly you'll get idiots like that. It just sucks that you had to have a team full of idiots.

Although it may not be a bad idea to let your team know if you're extremely new before the fight, either in the lobby(less advisable) or right from the start of the game.

lol that sucks.

 

If this game could actually handle 4v4 or 5v5 games having a noob on your team would not be a huge deal. In a 2v2 or 3v3 game its pretty much gg and half the time the other team is an undercover 3 man team on vent so this doesen't really surprise me.

If you are just starting out playing online after understanding the game from single player play, the best course of action is as follows. You should host your own 3v3 with "No Noobs" in the title. This way you will have a chance at getting competent players on your team, as well as the other team. When players join message them by private message, click on there name and send message. Explain "I am just starting online multiplayer play, and am trying to better myself. It is appreciated if you would play and share experiences in game" or something along those lines. You just need 1 player to stay in and consent to this, and then allow the rest of the team to join up and ready up, then launch. You will learn more from playing with better players in this fashion than you ever will joining 'good' or 'pro' games only to have your team rage quite, or playing noob only games where the players understand nothing about the games true mechanics.

 

Best of luck... (the learning curve isn't to high, a week of play an hour or so a day with decent players will get you pretty good.)
