And yeah, more or less confirmed Khasei's personality. Going with the protocol!

And by report I mean click on that little red triangle underneath the poster's name to bring it specifically to the attention of the mods.

While there are some outrage in these forums that can be considered childish, the link above explains my own outrage towards the non-release of Staff.

Unless he's just being sarcastic... in which case, go eat a pile of pancakes, dude. >_<

Either way, the primary issue at hand is that, even if it IS Khasei who opened the flood gates, it is legitimate enough. And now I'm taking the reins that Khasei dropped. He may have very well did this on purpose to just get someone to actively step up.

... Which I should have realized right away when he didn't confront Geko himself to argue why his case is legitimate. Oh well, I want to give Geko that chance before reporting his posts. He DOES deserve that, even if I firmly feel he's wrong.

Khasei isn't being terribly objective about the rules anyway, so I wouldn't follow his lead. He's unhappy that he got modded for crossing rules that, in his opinion, others have also crossed but not been modded for. It's a heavy chip on his shoulder that he carries. The only people that can accurately interpret the rules are the mods.

I don't see it, unless you're also assuming that the new player will be pausing for undue periods of time between spawns. If that's the assumption, why should we assume that they're competent in any other way? Perhaps they're going to take nothing but pool powers!

Sure, a player as green as this may not exactly understand fury, but who says you have to understand it for it to be effective? Just about any primary would be good, as would most secondaries: the fact that all of them are sticky is another point toward ease of use for novices.

double-damned...

If they're immediately presented with hurdles and difficulties, especially like the OP mentioned they have no previous MMO experience, I would say a more challenging AT/combination would be likely to leave a bad taste in their mouth and stop playing the game more than anything else. It really would probably be best to start off in easy mode, get to learn how the basic stuff works in relative ease, like the UI, where stuff is, how the map works, where to find contacts and just basic playing through the content.

As far as the easiest- definitely one of the melee ATs. That is not, however, what I would recommend to a new player. I would recommend a Blaster- not because of it's performance, but because of what it teaches you. If you start playing melee ATs from the beginning, then try any of the squishies, you will be like a fish out of water and flop around lamely until giving up and going back to the tough guys. A Blaster also teaches you the value of having a team- a new player would have a fairly tough time soloing with one. As well as learning to think about a fight and not just charging in every time.

So yes, I'd recommend a Blaster. Not because it is good (it isn't), but because of what it teaches you.

As you should know by now, There’s more than one way to skin a cat.
