newbie server

[zyxstand]

I think it is important for soldat to have a few noob servers (where good people are unwelcome or banned) so that noobs actually have a chance to stay alive for more than a second.  Noobs who at first like soldat's uniqueness are quickly turned off when they see that they can't do anything and are totally thrown out of the competition (even if it is just for fun).  The server should be called like "newbie server" and should disallow good gamers from joining.  I know Michal (desperately) wants new people joining because every new user is a potential addition to his funds plus there'll definitely be an increase in the soldat community in general!

Waddaya think?

[Kahuna]

Yeah, this is probably a good idea. But wouldn't those servers be full all the time? And how will it be determined if someone is a good player or not?

[zyxstand]

well have an active admin determine if someone is too good and ask him to leave or ban him.  And if there are a few of those servers then they won't be that full all the time.
btw, I hate hackers

I personally think there should be a lobby for unregistered users, and ofcourse a lobby for registered users only. I kinda get what you're saying though.

This already is provided by the public servers. Public servers are a great place to see people of all skill levels play, and it is the only way to expose new players to more advanced weapon usage and techniques needed for them to see what is possible within the game. Keeping new players sequestered in some "'newbie server'" would just breed people who think Barret camping makes them some "1337" Soldat god since they'll never be challenged to improve. Such a server would not offer anything over playing against dumb bots off-line as well as be impossible to manage. So, no.

Yes but many ppl didnt pay for the reg key + many noobs got it too.

Uhm, they're gonna get kicked out eventually and forced to play on more advanced servers - that's the whole point.  Newbie servers are meant to train them till they get used to the game...

That's silly - Then I won't be able to play with friends who are unregistered.  And unregistered people won't want to register because then they can't play with their old buddies anymore.  That idea is ...bad.

I think that is a horrible idea and doesn't benefit anyone.  Many people registered and unregistered either really suck or are really good, respectively.  There are also many people (like me) who have registered but don't currently have the registration key "installed" out of laziness.  I registered to support the game, and I get the same fuzzy feeling regardless of whether I have the star or not

[Brock]

I don't understand what being registered has to do with being good.

But yeah... 

U13 NOOBS ONLY1!

Elite! Noobs!  ??

Played there for a while, the blues hacked.

Off-line is for training and getting used to the game. Still, you will not see anyone backflipping, proning in air, rolling, moving through the maps hitting all the good angles for speed, etc. until you start playing on-line, and until that happens, the new player will not improve having never witnessed what is possible with the game. What you are suggesting would be similar to a special version of Street Fighter II for the new players unable to perform special moves or pose any threat. How boring that would be and a waste of their time playing.

As far as getting kicked, I have never seen a person kicked myself before due to not being good enough. The team as always just suffered through it as most games and days the teams will average out for the most part.

I get the same fuzzy feeling regardless of whether I have the star or not

I'm sure this is a big problem for you now.

So let me get this straight... You basically want a server where everyone flys around with m79s not having any clue what they are doing?

Well, the "not having any clue what they are doing" is partially correct.  Here they can learn the basics of maneuvering and are encouraged to try new things such as weapons, etc.  Once they got the hang of this game they will have to join regular servers and should be banned after a while from noob servers.

[iDante]

I think for the first, say 5 games people compete in there should be only like, 10 servers of diff game types that noone past 5 games can join. Just to get the hang of it.

Why dont they just play with bots for starters?
