Any advice for a beta n00b?

I just preordered and will soon be noobing it up in the beta.

Any "whatever you do, DON'T do this..." advice?

Well I'm not in the beta but I would say try not to TK, pretty much a universal concept for most games

lol... there is no TKing in Savage...

but anyhow...

first thing you should do is go read the beta forums, especially all the threads regarding gameplay in the general section. secondly, don't play commander until you've played a bunch of games and have an idea about strategy.

thirdly, have fun it's a great game and you can have
a ton of fun if you have the right attitude..

Thx, guys. I'll definitely check out that forum. I've been trying to sneak into empty servers so that my suckage won't affect my teammates.

Looks like a very interesting game. I think I'm going to love it. I wonder what pubs will be like, tho. That could be scary.

So there's no option for turning friendly fire on or off? Hmmm that's sounds kinda weird to me, as much as FF-on can be a pain in pubs I really prefer it :/

You would detest it in this game. Allowing people the ability to attack their own team's structures, siege units, and such wouldn't just be annoying, it'd have heavy consequences to the unfortunate team. IMO, it's not worth it, and from the beta, the lack of FF doesn't seem to be a problem.

You can still splash damage yourself and such, just not other players or team structures.

Hmmm I can understand not damaging your own buildings and heavy seige weapons but I dunno about not being able to tag other players on your team... Seems like it might encourage spam (if it's even possible to spam in the game).

Course I haven't played it so my thoughts are mainly hypothetical at this point anyways

i talked to one of the devs and friendly fire is indeed an option for the game, but with the beta it is just not turned on.

Ahhh gotcha...

I was gonna say it would be kinda strange to have a FPS without the option of turning on FF :o

it'll be interesting once the game goes gold & is released to be pubbing on servers with FF on after all these months of playing without FF on.

Monkeys?

I kinda forgot that there will be NPC's (I'm thinking there are right?)

That's one thing that could really make games interesting (and possibly frustrating)...

But I tell you one thing, if any computer monkeys try to step off to me I'm gonna have to open a 6-pack loose on em... With only a knife if I have to!

Ike-T

there are 5 or 6 different kinds of NPCs that are possible to have in a map... most of them you will need alot more than a knife with

FF was turned on a couple versions ago, it sucked bad. Group mele was ridiculous, crossing range weapons sucked and mortar turrets....damn.

This is definately a game that does not need FF. It's very easy to die on your own let alone your own team helping you.

yeah but having FF on is more "interesting"

Probably every person playing the beta at uvalan5 learned that the hard way

Well I guess I should go ahead and apologize to my strategic commanders up front because I don't care what they want me to do... I'm goin to kill me some monkeys

Damn dirty apes!!!

eh? the monkey's die in 2 hits from your spawn mele weapon. 2 hits. I almost never take damage.
