Tired of random games...

Postby MinisterPhobia » 22 Jul 2015, 18:48

I'm getting very tired of random games that devolve into everyone blaming everyone else for failures that ultimately were a result of no teamwork.

As such, I'm looking for a group of people to play with on a semi-regular basis that are based on the West Coast of North America (Canada, US, or Mexico) and get onto voice chat to either play with each other, or setup team games and play. My rank isn't great, but, I feel that much of my low rank is a result of people never explaining to me what I'm doing wrong (in their opinions), and instead either teamkilling me or just going off on long insulting rants.

Happens more than I'd like to admit.

Anyways, I do have a voice server up and running and that can be used, or, if there's an established group out there who already meet on voice somewhere, I could join that. Either way, let me know if you're interested in a new friend!

Definitely report it to a mod if someone teamkills you, that's against faf rules and just a bad thing to do in general.

During the timezones that I'm generally active, Mumble is pretty dead. I've tried.

Every time. Still seems to happen on occasion, though. The insulting rant is far more common.

The thing is that I WANT to improve, but, if no one is willing to help me out and point out where I went wrong, then it's just not going to happen.

I'd like to point out, this was how I many of my friends on FAF and formed AIx clan which had a healthy number of people who played team games together (until I killed the clan like the bastard I am... I very much regret this decision)

Yeah, I know what you mean.

It might be worth joining a clan and looking for people to play with that way. I'm sure there are clans for whatever timezone you are in.

If that's what it takes, I'm in. But, this is why I've posted this. I'm hoping someone will read it and be all like "That's us! He should join us!" and then PM me or respond or something.

Results will vary, indeed, but, worst case is I bail on the clan and stop showing up on their comms. I don't expect that to be an issue. I've never been in a clan/guild/corp/whatever that needed such extreme measures, but, you never know.

Yeah well.. I am just going from my experience of team games when I used to actually play them.
I got sick of them for the same reasons you did. Plus I never really found them as fun as 1v1's anyway. SO I switched too that.

If you want help improving so you can get into higher rated team games (less noob shit and everyone SHOULD know what they are doing, more or less) then try talking to a trainer
