Title: Is it necessary to force new people to do all the training?
Post by: SAS03 on Saturday, May 10, 2014, 03:59:07 AM
Is it really necessary to force new people to do all the training?

I ask this because I'm trying to get some of my old AA buddies playing, but none of them can remember there account details. We want to just play, and not go through all the training.

Right now there is no way around training.

So yes, in order to play with a new account you need to do training.

We wanted to keep the game as true to the original as possible, thus training is required just like when official auth was up and running.

Everyone who had an account before the US army dropped official support automatically had all their trainings completed. There was simply no way for  Assist admins to know who had done which training.

Sounds easy enough to understand? I've said this before as well.

They had accts. so they dont need to do training all they have to do is recover the accts. Seems easy to me

Sorry, but this is BS.

You made the training thing because of the cheaters, not to make the game "true to the original".

Be honest dude.

That's not entirely accurate. The manual account activation system was actually put in place before the training if I remember correctly. Jonny just wanted to add training in, it was something to do. Yes, it was discussed that it could be a deterrent for hacking to keep people from making multiple accounts and playing right away (mostly because of you) if we were to ever ditch the manual activation system, but that's not the only reason it was done.

You went from "to make game true" to "deter hackers, but it's not only reason". Now it's fair enough.

Mummy,   :crying: mummy,  :crying:  :crying: MUMMMEEEEE!!!
It's just toooooooooooooooo  :censored: hard!!!
 I can't :censored: do it!!  :duh: :duh: :duh: :duh:
Waaaaaa WAAAAAAAAA, I want it, I want it  :censored: now and I want it for  :censored: free!!
I get bored so quickly, I really. truly honestly cannot concentrate thaaaaat long!!!
WTF??? Tests to do??  :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored:
Medic training???? U  :censored: me!!
Please, please pleeeeeeeez!! Do I have to :censored: do it??

Asked and answered a gazillion  :censored: times full stop  :censored: period

To the powers that be, should it ever be decided to get rid of training, I humbly beg of you to retain the medic training. It's use does not end with the game!! The basic knowledge gleaned can actually be used everyday in real life emergency situations because  :sign_shithappens:

Forcing the  \_/ (youth) to actually stretch their brain cells  :? :shock: :cry: ever so slightly in the tests imo is also not a bad thing  :cool:

Lastly teaching them patience and perseverance in the SF section well  ummm ???             shame on you :)  :up:  :rofl: :beer:

But to make the game more like the original is, in fact, one of the reasons it was done.

Only the first few trainings has to done to be able to play the game, medic, sniper and SF is NOT needed to play the game. They just open up more game content to use.

If your friends really is AA veterans they should be able to pass the basic training in 20 minutes or so.

It's the same way now, Ares.

You only need to do basic training to play the game.

All the fuss due to the flat gameplay in modern shooters. People aren't really used to slightly above average challenge/tests.

Hello,
All the fuss due to the flat gameplay in modern shooters. People aren't really used to slightly above average challenge/tests.
I have been playing longer than most, I started before version 1.0, I have always done all the training for all my accounts. It is a very small price to pay to play a free game.

I have even re-done the training several times also, just for fun but then I am not a score whore.
