Noob timeframe
« on: May 01, 2009, 08:46:50 PM »
at what time frame is a noob not considered one?  From what ive seen on the forums and during game play...some of the  quote unquote vets  want nothing to do with these people who might have seen the commercial or heard it from a friend  and might want to give the game a chance.           Let the flaming begin!!

When HO'ing isn't considered "A valid tactic" one begins the journey to not being a noob. Some turds never get past this point.

The way I see it is when you learn the way the game works and start doing things that are actually beneficial to the country your flying for you stop being a noob.

I HO when I have to, does that make me a noob?
And never forget, it takes 2 to go on a HO, never complain about it.

I think everyone is guilty of a HO.  HO = Head On.  I see nowhere in that term the word "Shot".  Do we not all at some point go 'Head On' in a merge?
Takes two to HO, but only one to take a shot on that HO.  Thus it would be a HOS, right? :D

Ok, I will stop being a smarta--, gets me in trouble more often than not. :P

When you stop trying to run troops to the field instead of the town.  :D (watched someone drive an LVT from the town to the field the other night while everyone was telling him on VOX to turn around... they were surprisingly nice about it though)

When one of the infamous "good sticks" sends you a <S> after a fight.

And I really do think that *most* people here are willing to help out a noob. But the noob has to be willing to help themselves too. Nobody wants to hold your hand and explain every detail of the game, but most people are more than willing to help out someone who shows that they're willing to do some reading and practice.

But don't take my word for it, I've been playing for six months and some of these guys make me feel like a noob on a daily basis.

noob timeframe ends once you don't have to spam country channel with questions that can be answered on the trainers site.

Someone stops being a noob after they stop doing things such as dropping troops on the field, asking questions that could easily be found on trainer page, is reliable to call upon for things like an m3 to town, stops logging on and flying at A1 asking where the baddies are.
