New Player Mentality

[Senyu]

Bringing this thread up to discuss about new players and their mentality to the game and what we as vets will need to do. As some have seen, there was a NDA video showing either an extreme case or actually very common new player mentality and opinion of the game. And that is all I am going to mention of it. Moving on......

I am now more concerned on new players viewing this game and what they expect from it. Its obviously alot different than every other MMO out there and the way of thinking it needs is going to be a big change in alot of players. This change will be very drastic to other MMO players that it is going to cause alot of mindblowns and hates.

It's going to be so different on how it does MMO that people will praise and chastise it. And as vets and people who at least put an ounce of research in what this game actually is, were going to be key in explaining this game and getting people used to it.

I understand eventually people come to terms and understand what this is all about and it will weed those who like shooters and MMO's combined and those who simply want to play games like WoW. But that initial start, of tons of people who may be like certain video posters who have no clue and have no idea of the mentality needed to play the game, we are going to be very important people in creating examples and easing people in.

We are going to be the first impressions and that can make or break it for alot of people. I know most can shrug off the people who don't have the patience to understand the game and feel the game will be better off without them, but I still want to create the best first impressions of what this game really can be and all its awesomeness.

Its amazing moments, its massive group coordination, its factions tactics, all its great things that makes the game what it is. If we are going to be dealing with people like mentioned above, we have our job cut out to make it a great experience and showcase this game. We will be the people who showcase this game. We will be the group of people organizing the masses and showing them what this game is really all about. The devs made an awesome game. And we are the ones who will be showing the world its amazing moments.
