Anti- Air Max Armor <==Boring

[SmokeJumper]

Training isn't required at all...but is HIGHLY suggested your first time into the game.

The amount of xp you get through training is probably equivalent to 3-4 good fights. So if you want to have fun attacking bases instead of doing training, then go for it...but that's kind of a veteran option.

If you're a newb to the game (and you ALL are), then I highly suggest the off-line training (yup...we're working on it after all) and/or the on-line VR Shooting and Driving ranges for practice.

It'll also teach you a LOT about capping bases, using inventory, the characteristics of the various weapons and vehicles, etc. and you'll be a much better player because of it.

But after the first time? Skip it unless you just want to blow through it for the easy xp.

So that means you cant get PS and play offline training without having to pay!? Sweet, who needs that online crap anyways. Im gonna be the best offline player ever!

[Sputty]

How long will it take to go through the training stuff?

[Hamma]

Nice, offline training

Thats cool

[Sputty]

They must've decided on that recently. Thgey said the exact opposite about a month or so ago.

This is a good idea. The easier they can get noobs acclimated to the game, more noob retention they will have. The more more noob retention, the more successful PS wil be.

Unless it is faster to go kill for the levels than do the training, I will always repeat the training. Even if it is boring, it still carries an advantage.

Meh, i prefer fun over l33tness, even if i am the l33test whore of them all(you don't count Hamma, you're staff! ) so i'll probably do training a bit but mostly i'll just hop on the free vehicle or get a vehicle cert and go out to kill some peeps.

AND

All your bickering finally got my question answered...

[Jester]

woot

cant wait for some

[Moloch]

HAH! I KNEW it! I tried to tell you but noooooo! No offline they said! CRAP! I said. well, he who laughs last was too dumb to get the joke! So hah!
Anywayz, thats nice. I assumed training would be *essentially* mandatory for the BEP but if you can get the equivalent with only a few fights, I'll do alot offline, then when I can pay, I'll buzz throught the online to get one set character, then just duke it out from the start with my newer ones.

True. I reversed my decision to not have off-line training after we spent a lot of time making great on-line training...and then decided it just wasn't enough.

So now we have the best of both worlds. Off-line scripted training, and on-line VR training which is more free-form.

Plus, we give first-time help tips when you get close to terminals, we have mouseover help available, and we even have one of those "General Help Indexes" that you can call up on demand.

Dang...I hope someone uses all of that work.

[Sputty]

SJ's back. How long does it take to train at this point? A few hours or days, or whatever?
