Hey Cuddles... Good to see you here. Glad you've had a good experience already, can't wait to *cough* play with you again *cough*....

About time mate. Really good to see you getting on the Forums.

Sign me up.... Not fussed which team as long as I get a rifle...

Just a bit of an update - I know I haven't been around all that much over the last week or two. I have a friend going through some difficult times staying with me, so when he's not busy trying to deal with his issues, I've been with him playing some Warframe. Will definitely be back some time soon. I miss you guys.

Welcome to the Community Mohamed.

Had really good fun with it. Definitely a nice setup. Things to look at - 1. Earplugs 2. Drag/Carry options for injured. 3. kept respawning with default role kit, instead of loaded items.

You certainly took your time... lol. Glad to see you finally made it to the Forums buddy.

Really good to see you on the Forums. Welcome Bud.

I wasn't there, but I heard on TS that it was a really good experience. Thanks for taking the time to do this John.

People need to relax. I understand the issues here, but as has been mentioned, these things take time. The Staff are working on this. Trying to rush them will only make the process slower. We ALL (Staff included) experience times where people messing around cause the game to slow to a halt. Give them time people, be patient, they have our backs. Thy got this.

Welcome Buddy, glad to have you as a part of the community.

Nope, I'm a Pastafarian.... So you can get a R'Amen.

TL:DR version - ASK FOR HELP/LEAD BY EXAMPLE --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full version - If there isn't a Repair Spec around, ask someone if they'd mind switching for a moment to help you out. It works, not everyone is selfish, some people are more than happy to change role for a few moments. As for it being quicker to demo a vehicle than repair it... Sorry to put it bluntly but, Bull.... 10min respawn timer - Vs. - 5mins moving a repair vehicle to the pad and back. once the Repair vehicle has been dropped off, the one that moved it is back in action... 2-3min. The Helis that just repaired from said vehicle, can then move it back to where it was, or just move it off the pad... 1-2min. The only issue comes when people refuse to leave their slot because; a. Someone else will take their slot. (Especially frustrating for UAV, Sniper, Pilot roles) b. They're really good with their current role and busy. (Usually Medics) c. Are a total douche. (Most likely in common slots but unwilling to help team) This is just another one of those situations that require a little effort from the Community, not just in doing these things themselves, but in showing OTHERS how to do it too. Leading by example, I hate giving up my Sniper/Pilot slots to deal with repairs etc, but I will, because even though someone else is going to take the spot the second I step out of it, and usually be bad at it, it's not about the individual but about the team. I know people want to find easy solutions to the problems of bad players/unfortunate situations, but the reality of it is simple... Take the time to teach others how to be a part of the Community and ASK for help... not just once, not just in your own group... but EVERYONE on the server.

Welcome to the Community buddy.

This is what the Repair Specialist and Engineer are for... unfortunately I don't think adding a repair vehicle is going to help much.

Welcome.

Not at all, I understood what you meant, but this is the only Night footage I have. It's here more to show others how difficult it can be to find targets at range at night... and this is in PERFECT conditions... Once the weather comes in it is MUCH harder.

Hey Cobalt - you finally finished your intro thread then. Really good seeing you here man, Welcome to the Comm*Ninja Rock*..... Welcome to the Community buddy.

The staff are working hard on getting everything finalised and set. As long as things like this are brought to their attention, then you can rest assured that it will be dealt with in due course. Each of them has a multitude of things to work on, and their regular everyday lives as well. We all know big changes take time to settle.

Welcome to the Community Vex.

This is the crux of it for me. Most people are still stuck in the old mentality of "It's damaged, destroy it". It has been improving though, more people are requesting repairs and more pilots are willing to try and recover their Heli. Unfortunately there still aren't enough people willing to actually tell an Admin about poor piloting/heli destroyers. I regularly get people telling me via Teamspeak/in game chat, that someone is crashing far too often, or that they are destroying Helicopters that could be recovered. I do inform the bad/inexperienced pilots that perhaps they should get more practice when the server is less populated, or via the editor.. and no doubt many (in EU#2) have seen me tell those planning to destroy their Heli to stop, and to request a Repair spec/Engineer, and explain to them that it is not ok to destroy a vehicle unless it is 100% unrecoverable. From that point, there is nothing more that I can personally do, and that is where I refer players to the Admin Staff, more than half of them immediately give up and cannot be bothered to even message an Admin, and so I end up having to do it myself. We knew these rules wouldn't change things overnight, and yes it's still a little frustrating when these things happen, but given more time... and less free weekends ... Things will continue to improve. But only if we continue to guide those other players and explain things to them as they begin their experience here.

I'll never reach such lofty heights....
