PSU kindness

[S4CT4L1TY]

ask your self whats the nicest thing youve done for any newbie in psu

recently ive given a stack away but today i thought lemme pick a random newbie and buy him a pallet i told him to pick it himself all he bought were 4 twin db's and i gave him the line shield to go with it along with my old cati power and orpad mind he was so exited and greatfull

it dosent have to be a monetary thing it could be anything that helped a newbie one of my favorite moments was seeing this newbie lv5 begging for help killing de ragan every1 ignored him i went in with my techer to keep him buffed and healed epic battle lol

[Darius_Drake]

Never really kept track. I guess it would be when I decided to make a few weapons and armor for a newbie. I had them look into my pm and choose the weapons and armor they wanted along with the element they wanted it in. I then made it and gave it to them no charge. Needless to say they were very happy. I really didn't think of it as a big deal though.

[Magician]

To the newbie? I'm not very generous. I gave one person 500k; he's a regular on my friends list and he wondered why I play psu so much. Unfortunately, he hasn't come back as psu probably wasn't his bag.

[Ezodagrom]

Dunno...sometimes when I was not doing anything on psu, if I saw a newbie I would give him a pallete of 3* or 4* weapons, some photon arts, some meseta, give him some tips, show him around and such...^^ (didn't do this much times, maybe once in a while, like once every month or every 2 months ^^;).
Pitty the players I tried to help like this haven't saw them much after...(probably they quitted)...

[S4CT4L1TY]

which is why we need more people to make new players welcome and less intimidated by older players everyone complains about low populations but not many people take time to help newer players feel welcomed to our online community and show them around so they dont think plains overlord or white beast is all there is in psu

[Gunslinger-08]

I occasionally give new players a tour and my card, along with a little cash if they accept it. Sadly, the ones I've helped over the last month or two simply don't stick around. The number of v1 players who can't play in the Winter Carnival feel even more alienated, and have less reason to stick around.

[CelestialBlade]

When I played, I always tried to be giving of myself to anyone who wanted assistance, and I want to continue doing so on the forums here. Above all I wanted to leave behind a legacy of just being an overall helpful, friendly player.

[S4CT4L1TY]

ive convinced 2 newer people to get the expansion for an extra 20 bux you get alotta bang for your buck if you've just joined or recently left the demo to play for real

[Darius_Drake]

I think that is part of the problem with getting new people to stay. If you get the game and pay your online fee you will currently see an empty server because everybody is at the event. From what I hear you need the expansion to play the events. This is counter productive. Not all new gamers will be willing to spend $20 extra for an expansion when they just got the actual game.

[S4CT4L1TY]

keep in mind psu is worth about 10 bux used :dead:

[Zarode]

ask your self whats the nicest thing youve done for any newbie in psu

The nicest thing I have done for anyone was give them information. Giving items just makes an idiot overpowered. Same with money. Give a man a fish etc etc.

Foolish to give things away to random people, always.

what if he has no aarms? any who thats just your view of things and your approach sadly a good percent of the people on this game are the kind that would see an unconcious man/woman lying in the street and do nothing at all

That's not quite the extreme he was talking about. I personally wouldn't be giving my Nasuyoteri to a level 1 character, because that just makes them jaded and in the long run, they'll enjoy the game a lot less. But information will help them know where to go for certain things, and will overall help them enjoy the game much more.

[Zyrusticae]

Well, I think just a little money (100-200k) is a decent way to start off, enough to buy some decent C-rank gear and not die horribly on their first outing. Otherwise, yes, too much stuff just cheapens the experience and removes the pleasure of hunting for items on one's lonesome. At least, I like the hunt. It's one of those driving motivators, y'know.

Otherwise, information is good. Pointing a newbie in the right direction is what I'll usually do (though I'm not going to make any donations, being a piss-poor newbie myself).

[Calsetes]

I try to help them out with some information, maybe even giving them some cheap weapons they can use both right off the bat and after they change into an advanced class, and also I sometimes offer to do a run with them so they can get some XP while I level something small and trivial, such as a low-level character or (since so many of my guys are 50+) some low-level PAs. Always something to do while helping a new guy out.

Oh, and I also give them my card and tell them feel free to ask me for help or info any time.

[LLSmoothJ]

The nicest thing I did was with my friends, we helped a new player level up from 4 to around 10 I believe. At the end we all helped her get new weapons with my friend buying her a rod and I particularly buying her all ice techs (excluding buffs/debuffs of course.) from the shop, just to help her get used to using the trade system and the PA learning system.

[Meta77]

The nicest thing i still do is noting booting players from party......unless everyone in party agrees person is just being plain rude.

[Mr T 13]

The nicest things I've done was show a person the ropes for a full week and power level someone to level 100 with a few of my friends. Of course the person we power leveled never spoke to us again. Needless to say I don't power level anymore, but I still give out small sums of meseta and show people things.

[mvffin]

Give a man a fish and he'll stink up the place. Give him a fishing pole and, well, he'll poke someone's eye out.

[amtalx]

I used to regularly power level lower players. The growing pains of starting a new character suck.

[BIGGIEstyle]

I'm infamous for kidnapping the people who post up here that they're new LoL

I've aided a good 4 or 5 new players from level one up to having more than 1 character over 100. The nicest thing you can do for a new player isn't giving them money or items, it's giving them someone to run with consistently. With the populations dwindling most new players just want someone else to play with.

Then again I consider that less helping newer players and more helping our population.

[Alnet]

Erm... I've bought palettes for people, taken them around the planets, and so on, but I don't just give out cash.

It just encourages handouts, doesn't it? I'd rather teach them to fish.

[S4CT4L1TY]

if you got it flaunt it

[Shinko]

I did a lot of helping ppl (especially when i was on the pc/ps2 version)

I give info
Give decent amounts of money
Help ppl lvl
help newbies get to certain areas
help show ppl around though all stages
help look for a weapon with them (and yes give it to them instead of taking it for my self)

I was a very nice person... still is but however u have so many scammer and rude ppl it make it hard to continue to do that.

ppl claming there new to the game to get money (yes u have some that even start new account just to get money out of ppl) man it just a whole lot of rudeness and scamming going on it hard to trust ppl... so most of the time i don't do most of the nice things i used too.

Athough every once in awhile i give 1mil to a random person... new or old xD

[x3mahalkita]

Best thing ive done was giving some decent weapons for people who were just starting out. I just hate it when they go sell it of to the npc -_-

[ashley50]

Help, give advice, give an item or a combination of those.

[S4CT4L1TY]

T_T if they pay an extra 10$ a month just to make fake $ then wow thats pretty low and stupid

[Delete]

I think the thing is that its hard to tell the new players at times, mostly everyone has 2 or 3 characters, so they could have one lvl 150 and a lvl 2.

You can look at a players ID to tell if their new or not.

[FOnewearl-Lina]

You can look at a players ID to tell if their new or not.
Unless they have multiple accounts.

[S4CT4L1TY]

which like i said is lols if they do it to get monies and if they do good job by keeping it secret (a level 18 thats already a fortefeighter with serafi-senba your either on a 2nd account or all ready got help financialy what do i look like, im not gonna throw my meseta away to help someone whose been given stuff already i will give you a lift to the casino though) most of the newbies are easier to spot especialy when they ask you if they can somehow import their Demo character over T_T

[Gibdozer]

I used to give like 100k if I thought they were fairly cool, but since the retention rate of this game is so low I realized I was just throwing my money away. I still help out the newbs who ask though, this games can be vexing in the beginning. I almost quit my first day I ran in to so many assholes before I found anyone who would help me learn the ropes. Making the transition into the psu world as painless as possible is the key to player retention not showering people with money and items they didn't earn.

[NiceOnes]

I've given away 100k. Once. The player is still online and now fairly high level'd and I've yet to receive even a thank you let alone a party invite.

I'm a firm believer in easy come easy go... Show a newb the ropes and let him run with you maybe, however I don't think handouts are beneficial. It's the journey remember, not the destination that is important!

[LeynasMoon]

I remember not long ago that a new player, non AotI, asked for some money. I asked what the money was for, and they said they needed it for their weapons. I took them to Fight For Food and dropped 100K meseta there for them to take, since I was not allowed to trade with a non AotI player. They were thankful and left. That felt pretty nice, helping him.
More recently, I did a random party search at Demons Above, and saw a couple of very low level players there, single digit levels. I took my level 130 Beastette there, since she was already at the mission counter, and asked "Do you guys need any help?" and after a slight pause, one of them said "yes". I was pretty happy about that, it seemed like no one ever goes to that place, for one thing, and also because I love to see new people playing PSU. I went in further to join them, they were doing pretty good for new guys but were obviously new with such high ID#s and low rank weaponry. I told them the basics of that particular area, and watched them fight, assisting every now and then but not overkilling anything. At the end of the run, we exchanged cards and I told them that if they ever need me again, mail me. So far we haven't played together again, but 1 still mails me about the achievements he's made. It feels awesome to help people feel more excited about playing a game that you like to play too. :3 I don't think that giving money is as rewarding for both people as lending your time to the new person. Playing with new friends is always fun anyway.

[N2TrAnC3]

Nicest thing Ive done... I gave away a million to any 100k ID that came up to me. 100k ID=Free MIL. I ended up giving away about 215 million over the course of 3 days. Ive also spent countless hours (100s) helping new players power level.

[trund0]

Hello everyone who are nice people, I am playing on the 360 and am having alot of fun, I made my account in early 2008 and played for one month while the event was going on where you could get an ank bico from the waterbed rare spawn mission, never actually got one, lvled a beast fortefighter to like lvl 55, anyway after that I cancelled my sub and just recently fired it up again and started lvling my old lvl 12 cast, now at lvl 90 just frm doing the event mission so I am relatively a noob as I don't really know the game so could somone or some of you hel me to actually learn the game as I feel like an event noob who got his lvls from one mission, the only places I have hunted myself is the linear line and plains overlord, thanks for any help in advance.

[Barker5227]

I gave my "nigga" MOB Sick 20+ mil and all of my 30% bil de axes
For good reason tho ;D
he played before and quit recently and gave over 4 stacks in meseta, buncha pwands, good armor, carriguines and whatnot.

:D lol OH i also gave id number 100134 134 meseta because she had 100k on her, lol yea im awesome :D so her meseta matched her number :D:D:D:D:D

[Tianna]

I have helped several people out in the last couple years. Not too much to the newbs but enough to help thier palletes and help them level sme to be self sufficiant. I have, however, had one that EXPECTED a handout afterwards. Only one out of about a dozen. To this person I told them they needed to hunt things instead of just asking for it and if theycontinued to ask for handouts I would do my best to ignore them from then on.
Recently I found that I have certain friends in guilds (not being the "guild type" myself) and it is very pleasing to help a guild that gets new members that do appreciate the game and need help. Most have to go out of thier way to join a guild and really appreciate the help. I usually stay anonymous because I really don't want "gifts" back (I got too much chit as it is now...LOL).
Last of this long post, I promise :) I have also recently talked some of the girls I work with to start playing PSU and have bought the game for some and gotten my husband to start playing as well (quality time....ROFL). Out of the 6 people I have gotten into PSU only one doesn't play anymore.

GT o R34l D34TH o message me trundo

[lumia fanatic]

I have a friend restart his account, he was banned sadly, his id is over 100000, yet he has 2 150s. He played the event soooo much...... that s my point, id's mean not much as you may think...

[Metalon]

Well i have not actually played PSU yet, and when i first made my topic here i had lots of ppl replay welcoming me and giving me tips and helpin me out. I just hope that ppl in game are that helpful =)

[S4CT4L1TY]

stay away from drama ^^;

[hunterseifer]

I usually give stuff away on a daily basis, I'd announce what I'm giving away and someone always wants w/e it is. Or if its a friend who needs mats for a synth like any walna for example. But if I had to say one time with abunch of stuff at once to a single person, I'd say one mill with abunch of s ranks Ive collected from previous events, about ten s ranks I think it was just to get him started.

[Volcompat321]

i have given 5 mil to people 100-200k is nothing in this game anymore, and IF they have aoi they may as well stick with the C rank starters, OR advance a star or 2 til about level 20. and even then i woulnt suggest buying a lot of things, cause of 2 reasons, 1 being price are so high, EVEN 3-6 stars i recently made my last pm(strike) and spent a fortune on it, and 2 cause someone that plays a decent amount of time "outgrows" weps and units at a low lvl fast. im not trying to bragg but 5 mil every once and a while isnt a lot...ive been playing since 2 months after it came out, and there are people out there that started with mag, with higher lvls, and more meseta than me. lol. its just a matter of being 100+ and luck. (and a little hunting) anyway...i think IF you can afford it give 1-5 mil, they will appreciate it a lot. i have a friend (indi :D) that i helped out a bit when he was a lower level...like 40 ish and hes now 100+ and has what he needs in the game. so you never know you might make a psu life long friend :D

[Cracka_J]

um, I'll just say that people got treated very, very well when I bailed last month. :lol:

probably in the ballpark of over 2 billion meseta (in items and meseta) got handed out to the community and friends. I tried to hook all my good friends up with stuff they really wanted, and the rest got handed out at my giveaway event. good times indeed :)

[Meta77]

oh i also dont charge people to run the rare missions with me.

[Kylie]

Back on v1, I used to spend all of my free time showing lowbies where to go and what to do. I'd also give out money and weapons I didn't need. But none of them would every stay, and lowbies became a rarity. ;|

[Mimo]

Awhile back I came across a beginner and gave her 500k for merchandise and I just told her about the player shops and how to find good deals on items. I unlocked important places for her, like WB/kugosprings, Casino, falz memoria/dallgun plaza and the coast :3 I helped her pick out a super awesome expensive outfit for her, so that people wouldnt notice she was a noobie with her starter clothes (to not get made fun of) D: I also gave her a cake room and gourmet chocolate : D oh and a pannon doll *o*

[Swiftstrike]

I am a new player myself (2 weeks) and what I found to be the best thing ever was info.

I walked into PSU completely confused since i jumped right into online and never did single player mode. If i didn't have my friend to play with (he started the same time) to get confused with me (lol), i would not still be here.

I still find it hard to play without other people to party with (and thats hard seeing how alot of the population are jerks).

My advice: tell people how to do things (much more fun to quest for the item than have it given) and let them know your willing to party every now and then.
