General Chat / Re: Getting New Players
« on: Monday, February 09, 2015, 16:26:25 PM »Old players and AA veterans such as myself understand what Assist is, however new players and those that have not touched AA since 2007-2008 may not.IMHO even that is not really true. Years back when AA was at it's highest, there was no Assist and even when there was later on, it wasn't mandatory.
t section. What are the basics that we should cover? Should we have a history or should it just be straight to the point?I believe the first thing the "About Assist" section should have is what Assist is and what it does.
It's good that on the opening page on aao25.com we have "Assist. America's Army community", it tells people what it's all about, but the About page should firstly say what Assist is used for, how it helps to authenticate users, keep track of points (mentioned Battletracker here would be neccessary at this point), helps protect against cheaters and the likes.
Then further down the page, I would imagine could be a history section with a bit more information about what it grew from and what it has grown into along with release dates and potentially major release notes (where applicable).
I've actually brought this up before I believe, and last time I searched for the video review of the site, but I couldn't find it. I know somebody had some youtuber (or something) evaluate our page (I believe it was quite soon after the new layout was released) and then the link was posted here. The guy liked the overall look of it if I remember correctly, but his main problem was that he didn't get what it was all about. He was just guessing that it's about some FPS game.
