Monsta is not feeling himself so he will swerve away from his usual violent nature and offer some help to those who aim to venture into the arena of on-line play.
Just some general tips to help you survive...this is not tactical advice as that must be learnt, plus that can be found around the Org and other sites such as Planet TW.
Non of the following info is intended to seem like your stupid...it just helps to have a hand up now and again.
1)Practise single player first (at least finish the game on easy if you can).
2)Realise no matter how good you are against the AI...you dogmeat on-line unless meeting another newbie.
3)Be nice and polite...there is no problems with humour but racism/nationalism/sexism etc are not taken lightly.....nor should they in your own life but even more so in our world...nobody (race/creed/gender etc) should feel out of place when visiting us to ...errr..die!
4)Learn whom you are talking to before you threaten to tear off their heads...a loss after a claim of 'come and get some and I will chew off your nose' will only make you look even more idiotic.
5)If you are beaten do not worry...it happens to us all...even the very best..hence the thrill of battle...non will ever be the same as the last.
6)On winning a battle please try and show restraint....a cheering victor is like a rag to a bull and a wiser player will find a way to bring you down a peg and your cheer will soon become tears.
7)If you lose to a clearly more experienced player and they abuse you..ignore them...they should know better and are highly unlikely to be one of the top 100 nevermind the top ten due to their attitude...it wont take you long to remove their lungs and stamp on them (getting hard to restrain violent thoughts....urggghhh... growing...!)
8) Clans are the backbone of the on line game..they are the guys who generally host the tourneys/campaigns make the maps and mods..and hang around in groups whispering to each other.
9)Clans can be very protective towards their members and allies....if you have never been in a TW chat area...you have never witnessed what we like to call a 'chat war'..passions can run high...if abused by a clan member it is often a simple thing to deal with....find out who is the boss...state your case and ask them to deal with the offender....90% of clans are honourable guys...and if you did not spark the flame your complaint will be dealt with....TW is like no other on line experience.
10)When making a clan do not...i repeat DO NOT have an open recruitment policy....there are many 'moles' out there who like nothing more than to infiltrate your group/forum/web site and create havoc..hence the protective nature of alot of the old clans (see how old and protective go well together).
Get friends together...play together for a while make sure they wont disapear after 2 weeks because quake 36 is out.....when recruiting have a trial period or a test and then you may filter out the trash.
11)Alot of the 'oldmen' such as Magyar/Monster/Tera/Amp/Elmo/KocMoc/Tosa and many more (sorry lads this thread is too long to name everbody) may seem 'odd' even arrogant...but if ask in a friendly way these guys can be your best bet for help with any issue concerning an aspect of on line survival/life.
12)Remember alot of us have moved from Japan(although some of us are Mongol like the Wolves based..Rage are errmm Rage...Angels are damned!) so we do sometimes seem very arrogant towards ronin (peasants) but the proper respect from you will work wonders.
13)If RageKrast offers you 'head soup' please take some..offending his brew of life giving bowls of grog may effect your performance....
If Magyar asks you if you can 'dance' the Mongol cha cha...join him for a lesson and feel what its like to a tea bag.
If a Takiyama (Mizu--- online) offers advice about the games inner workings listen..they are the dogs bollox concerning this.
If Tera asks who is the oldest clan in TW reply KENCHI asap....if he hasnt told you already!
If Monsta is drinking 'coffee' and threatens to skin you alive and eat your goldfish.,lock the door....wait 20 mins and then he will have taken a deep breath and no doubt say sorry and give you a couple of his wives...to eat!
If an Angel clan member says 'trust me'..smile and remember they are nice but only when they are chained to something.
If you aim to have fun...even become a 'legend' in battle....thinking first before speaking helps...being friendly will get you far and respecting the 'oldmen' will get you a wife and your ouwn kingdom.
Have fun....expect no mercy....be a part of the world and we will greet you will open arms and a sword to cuts bits of your body off (think my nice is used up for this decade!)
