Alrighty this is a new topic discussion that I like to address because it's not something that has been talked about much. To put it simply, what makes a beginner server different to any other? So below I have made some basic points that might represent what begginers would want in their first server. Thinking back when I first started playing ShootMania I played on ubisoft's royal and battle servers which I am sure consisted of at the most, 7 maps each gamemode. Even though there was a small amount of maps, there was already a lot about the game that I needed to learn so having that small amount of maps allowed me to adjust really well. So let's think from the beginner's perspective, as a beginner I want:
For obvious reasons we don't want good players ruining the beginners experience, the only players that should have access to this server are of course begginers and intermediates. For this to work we would need to utilize a system that knows the skill of each player.
As a beginner and first time playing the game, when I return to a map I previously played, I am instantly going to play better because I played the map before. Because of this I will learn to play the game quickly and increase my skill. If I join a server with 20+ maps I am constantly going to be noob because I have never tried the map before, eventually I will leave and give up. Having a server with as few maps as possible is good for a beginner-type server.
New players don't have any server added onto their favourites, so it is a good idea to ask at this early stage!
Things like "Press 'T' to chat globally, 'Return' to chat to your team" as info messages would be essential to new players, you could add many other useful things in those info and include links to the paragon esports website.Statistics: Posted by wabbitface — Wed Dec 09, 2015 7:49 pm
