T's in the TA
« on: October 08, 2009, 08:17:36 AM »
I have not been in the TA in a long time.  My squadie was having some problems and went into the TA for help.  He asked if anyone there was a trainer and got several replies "yes".  Nobody would bother helping him after that.  My only conlusion is that none of these guys were actually trainers.  Is there a way to color code the text and Icon of the trainers in the TA so that you actually know who to speak to and who not to waste your time with?
They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?

Have them look at the roster.

IIRC the "real" trainers have it listed as such under Squad.

Here is a list of the current trainers.

Badboy

Delirium

Ghosth

Hammer

Mace

Mtnman

moot

morfiend

Murdr

Silat

Spatula

TC

Widewing

Trainers do have different colored text, but they are not using it all the time, because it broadcasts all over the arena.

To make sure, just take a  look at the roster. Alll trainers are members of the AH Trainer Corps "squadron"

Have your friend send me a private message here, or send me an e-mail.

Delirium@hitechcreations.com

That is probably the easiest way to arrange some 1v1 time, otherwise it is 'hit or miss' on the availability on a day to day basis.

Did someone accuse me of being a nice guy :furious :lol.  I just teach people bad habits, it's up to the others to try and figure out what I did to their students :headscratch:

I only teach them to do that if they are in immediate danger of an overshoot or have excess speed in a maneuver.  I actually hope I'm more to blame for the Corsairs that actually go for the angles fight rather then the B&Z, albeit it can do both well when needed.  By the way Cap thanks for the kind words :D

I figured, just didn't want someone to get the wrong idea about my training methods.  Although you will be surprised to see how many people flying a hog don't realize that trick is in the arsenal, and has saved my bacon more then once.
