Teamwork, the name of the game.

[MrVicchio]

Last night, afte rthe new server came up at 0130EST I got on, and led a team of other fellow n00bs on the new server, full squad. And we took 2 bases, and life was good for the most part, till a few members of the squad started wanting to do thier own thing. That I think is the biggest issue facing, especially NEW players, PS requires team work, and sometimes its boring.

The insight I gathered from that 2 hour jaunt was very helpful. Some of the squad knew that that BASE capping was the BEST way to go, whilst a few of the squad just wanted to fight, and fight anywhere that there were enemies. While both tactics have thier pluses, taking a base, especially in an area your Side doesn't have a good foot hold in is FAR more important then jsut killing baddies.

Its going to be a rude shock for new people in the game, both as more OPEN CD's get on, and when the game goes live. If you don't understand that while guarding a base for 15 min is more important then jsut "fighting" you are going to have a hard time in some squads. I am all for having fun, but I am also a team player, and I wanted to do what was BEST for the empire, and that in turn is fun. Knowing that I aided my Side.

the sooner that attitude is prevalant in game, the sooner I think, we will see more organized fronts, and lines of control.
