As far as I know, CCP doesn't care if we use our 2nd and 3rd slot characters to try out new things, so it is inevitable that you'll find yourself in Battle Academy again.
Personally, I really really like battle academy and the few times I've gone back I've tried really hard not to stomp on the new players. I want them to get into dust the way I did and having one player just completely decimate your team is not a good way of retaining new players.
So after I get all of my testing done, I spend the rest of the match just messing around, shooting up the sky, driving LAV's as far into the redline as I can, and or trying to melee unsuspecting players etc. I think you should too. It's much more fun that way...
*edit and yes, the new blueberries are incredibly adorable. |

You have a strange obssesion with crouching down.....i'll let the community form their own conlusions on that one sir........errr ma'am? Not really sure anymore. You say your not from the US, but your over use of "darlin" makes me feel like im talking to an old lady from Alabama. Your english is great, sentence structure good. Canadian? Havent seen any Aussie or England slang. You definitely need work on information retention.
You know what, I will come from this thread a little better off, because I rarely get complimented on my sentence structure and ability to speak English, thanks. I am actually Welsh, you know, Wales? The little country everyone assumes in just another part of England. I could be more like "yaw bruv hu da fuk u think ur talking 2 m8, ur a proper mug yu get me fam?" if you'd prefer, but honestly things such as "Darlin'" is just how I actually talk. I think it comes from a games I've played previously, If you've ever played RP servers or roleplay games, I'm thinking things like SA-MP and FoM, then crouchwalking is usually done by RPers to pretend they're being "tactical", I guess it just takes me back to those games. well, in Halo if you crouch/ crouch walk you can get under a player's radar and sneak around like that. I imagine, since Halo is the other HUUGE sci-fi fps game, many new players come into dust thinking it will play just like Halo.
Is it adorable? yes. is it effective? not at all, unless you're walking behind cover or around a hill. but they don't know that because there is no tutorial saying what can and what can't get you under the radar. |

Actually, I'd like to mention that Academy is adorable, especially the guys crouching and walking around in crouch, A for effort, little cuties. This does not seem like anything remotely asking for flak. (o_O ) but hey, it's the forums so I guess you must be prepared for someone to find something they don't like.
*edit- heck, someone may find something not to like with THIS post too. better do something to show I don't want to argue...

well, the academy is there to create an environment for new players that is a bit more forgiving then the current environment, and the truth is, it is working. Because everyone starts off with such low sp, you are guaranteed that the vast majority of players are running militia or mostly militia. Sure, you'll get 2 or 3 vets playing in BA, but even they have to deal with the low sp, so it's not nearly as bad as having to face a squad of proto players.
Because I try to be careful with not upsetting the beginning experience I have only received 1 hate mail my entire dust career. I was trying to test to see if the increased rate-of-fire of the tactical sniper rifle was better or if I should just go for the increased damage-per-shot of the higher tiered sniper rifles. Someone accused me of hacking because I had something that wasn't militia. (o_O ) said I would get banned.
But anyways, you do NOT want me on your team in Battle Academy. besides testing, I will do absolutely nothing to help my team win. lol.
and you get out of BA if you accumulate a lifetime total of 2,000 war points. |
