People can criticise a separate server structure all they want, but it really does help to know that you'll run into some of the same people again and again!Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-83304070613407300352012-05-01T11:36:09.260+01:002012-05-01T11:36:09.260+01:00I've had several similar encounters with playe...I've had several similar encounters with players completely new to traditional MMO concepts and I always enjoyed lending them a helping hand as well.<br /><br />There is a [HEROIC 4] mission (also on Tatooine - Republic side) where one has to rescue some villagers from evil Mandalorians. At the time I was grouped with three people who virtually had no idea what to do at all. Our "healer" (a Jedi Sage) hadn't even put any healing spells into his cast bars and it took me quite some time to explain to her how she needed to heal me and CC one mob at the same time. The other players were in for a lesson in MMO mechanics as well. All in all this simple mission took me over two hours, but I think it was totally worth it! Helping new people always feels great and everybody can leave with a pleasant memory.<br /><br />I agree with you that this is really the backbone of MMOs - community!Maldwizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02726258842496198525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-9949174676501661492012-04-30T13:22:49.193+01:002012-04-30T13:22:49.193+01:00Good on you for helping the noobs.

Most of those connections never resurface again, but I like to think that when I give stacks of mats to a L12 and spend 20 minutes explaining things that my guildies and I take for granted, that someday it'll be paid forward. It's pretty cool too to introduce people to cc and best ways to set up heroic 2+'s for success. <br /><br />I've also had good luck w/ inviting folks who show up to kill the same npc i'm waiting for respawn on, and I've had some good convos with fellow scoundrels or powertechs (my 2 50's) when I see them near end game pve/pvp vendors and ask them what spec they're running, etc. And somehow, through dumb luck, my guild ended up on a server with folks we knew from swg but didn't intentionally ally with pre-launch. The community is key to mmo's, and despite all the qq'ing, my own included, I've got a pretty good one on my server, and tbh, it's the main reason I've stayed subbed or unsubbed any mmo. Those 2 m's mean a lot. Folks like you really add to it and make it easy to ignore those who rage when we're losing Alderaan.Mooftak Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656583685256814938noreply@blogger.com
