Why are n00bz so rude... "?"
- Thread starter RevCaoticFox
- Start date
I used to do a thing that is a little bit different - jump into sidey and go annoy "not a noob!'s" in vipers, vultures and similar with low ranks in res-es. Not that i could really hurt them (was pre-engineers so no magical superpowers), but the amount of swearing, threats and accusations of cheating when my sidey did not explode after first hit was... amusing.
Guess it is just how most people communicate with strangers when they are sure they are protected by anonymity...
No comms at all probably mean that you are considered npc or they do not know how to use comms...

And the guy was looking at a re-buy screen thinking unkind thoughts about the mission he's just messed up and hate, hate, hate... yeah, I can see you're a great help, just what he didn't need.
It took me half an hour on the phone with my mate to pick up all the comms/wing stuff... which I don't use, if I get called I just ignore it cos by the time I get my head around being safe enough to answer the guy is over the other side of the Galaxy.
How dare all those noobies not respect, adore and worship you!
Your entire premise for this post is basically low quality bait.

"like begets like"
read the tone not only of the OP or the other posts made by the original poster and you have your answer.
Had OP have been after honest polite discourse the question would be "I have noticed seemingly new players are not interested in chat... why is that? All i want to do is help.
but no.... that is not how it went.

Being a noob is utterly confusing. The learning curve is much talked about regarding this game and being interdicted or even simply hailed by another human Cmdr can be hugely intimidating, potentially extremely costly and very much dependent on keyboard settings.
It’s easy to forget these things just as it’s easy to forget how to be empathetic generally. It does however reflect on the experienced player far more than the new. If, however, a new player acts and communicates as an @rse, you don’t need to waste much time sifting through your own personal empathy settings.

Sorry to jump in so late into this thread but his happened to me the first three weeks I was playing.
Still in the sidewinder, offered "stuff." Now, I had read these forums and articles regarding griefers and the assumption is that I was being set up for getting blasted.
"Here, little mouse. You look cute. Have one ton of cheese. Go ahead, it's free."
Player moves to take the bait.....followed by the one offering and two or three other players opening fire for the lulz.
I didn't care to take the chance. I'd have to suspect that these noobs are under the same impression.
Haha, once I was in Eravate in my Cobra III and got interdicted by some Cmdr in a Python. I immediately submitted, deployed hardpoints and turned in his direction, ready for a life and death battle....and nearly ran into him as he just sat there. Sent a chat saying he scared the heck out of me and he replied he was just having fun, then we went our separate ways.
Probably ruining somebody's fun by mentioning this but, meh...
If you're on a new(ish) account and you hang around starter systems, you'll get people pulling you out of SC and then telling you stuff like "keep your throttle down in SC cos you're dazzling people" or "Don't honk in SC because everybody in the system can hear it".
I guess that's the ED version of sending the new-start to the store for a "long stand".
Interesting. I've always wondered about this. Maybe I'll go to a CG in my Eagle and honk constantly now, just to see what effect it has.
everyone plays in open... wth r u talking about????
typical cynical
hence my desire to help them...
which is a simple game mechanic that i used properly... what is your malfunction?
ps4 default mapping
shiny ship
and triangles... whats the diff between squares & triangles???
clearly not a ps4 player
Hehe. That's so right.
Who knows, I haven't done a survey but, indeed maybe n00bs are less rude (even than calling them, n00bs as opposed to Rookie Commanders, say) but more adrenalin fuelled. They are young mices .. and you might easily be a cat so bye bye.
edit:
Hardpoint deployment.
obtuse
Just a question for the OP - How do you know they are noobs. For all you know, those Commanders flying the Sidewinders and Haulers you deemed so incompetent that they need your help could be triple Elite players who have just purchased an additional account or reset their account for the challenge. They might have more experience and knowledge of the game in their little pinky than you could ever amass. Just think, you may have interrupted some guy who has set out to go from Sidewinder to Anaconda in 2 hours.
Hmm wonder if you are now on any KOS lists ….
no question marks, sir...
