DUST Search - Some stories about our noob days.

byte modal wrote:

Not knowing wtf the overhead map was my first login. Staring at it like some abstract expressionist painting wondering how to "start."

Skilling into dumbfire swarms cuz my forum "research" concluded that they were OP. Logging in thinking imabouta put the smackdown. Instead, i fired at my first red (red berries weren't invented yet), then got shot like the newb i was.

Finding a dropship, boarded it into the sidegun slot then it lifted off. Because of the timing of it, i thought it was an automated "rail" type pre-scripted transport that just looped the field. I had no idea how to get out.

When i got my dropship, there was a bug that sometimes prevented tbe ship from lifting off. I thought i had jacked up my control settings somewhere and kept changing them thinking it was either combat controls OR vehicle controls. Neither worked.

Skilling into snipers to use a charge rifle. Never thought to just hold the button to fire. No. Coming from EVE i figured there was a special ammo typed needed for this rifle. I spent days trying to find it on the market, google, etc. There's still a post of mine way back when asking where i can get charge sniper rifle ammo. I eventually gave up on the charge. Some time later i start playing with the forge. One day it just clicked. Oooooh! I wonder if that damned charge works like this!??

Hm. I'm depressed now.

They could have been working with the red dots for all I knew, so I had to play it safe. Former CEO of the Land of the BIind. Any double entendre is unintended I assure you.

Not knowing H/L slots and thinking i could interchange modules, and not knowing why i would select some mods and it wouldn't be there.

Early on you could damage the MCC with railguns. Points awarded and all. When they removed that feature it took me a while to figure out why I wasn't getting points for it. Also thinking that when operating a turret installation, I was actually inside it and couldn't get shot in the back. Assault rifles with full screen scoped aim down sight and seemingly infinite range.

I was really goddamn curious why some many people had Sexually Transmitted Diseases because I had no idea what the MLT, STD, or ADV said. Oh, and let's not forget the many times I dropped a called in vehicle on my head ala Monty Python Foot. Those drunk RDV bastards. "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money!

Scheneighnay McBob Penumbra or something 7773	Posted - 2016.04.11 00:00:00 - [26] - Quote Threw a packed locus grenade at a guy that was firing a mass driver at me- they collided in mid-air and exploded in my face. Counted as a suicide. Much more recently (but still a while ago, ofc), I tried sneaking up behind an HAV to fire a plasma cannon into the back of it- it was backing up towards me as I was charging the cannon, and the shell detonated onto the HAV right before it ran me over. Again, a suicide. The anti-tunnel snake taskforce has assembled

That's a great list of completely acceptable noob mistakes, especially the EvE legacy ones. Yes, I sort of wondered where I could buy ammo, too, until I realised it was free (as long as you could find a supply depot or nanohive....) Probably my biggest noob mistake was back in the Beta - I didn't know how to deploy in battle and finally gave up, only to revisit late last year, to find I had no problems whatsoever. So does that make me a noob twice or a "double noob"? ;)
