Security GRASP FPS training, a new focus.

[sum1]

So there has been a smaller and smaller group interested in doing weekly FPS training. I see now I have been going about this all wrong.... well maybe just not wrong, but there is a better way. So I am now going to be offering two things (for now). The biggest change is I will no longer be training everyone. My goal now is to train those that are interested in leading or training other in the future. This will allow me to do two things, become a force multiplier, and set the basis grow as the game grows. So if you want to be trained on how to train people in FPS, and how to lead an FPS fireteam I have two things I need you to do.
First: I made a group chat on discord to talk about all things FPS, Tactics, and leadership. Add me on discord, and Message me your interest.
Second: set up a time where you can meet with me 1 on 1, we will train at a time that works for us, and as often as works for us.

I think the interest will rise agian when 3.0 hits
this patern is noticeable in any game ,even WOW(there sub drop till a expansion hits)

should maybe just stick to a event where we group and play star marine till 3.0 ?

Got to agree with ADKL, lot of people burnt out on 2.6.3. I am waiting on a few things before stepping into FPS games, but am the type that always welcomes advice/tactics.

@sum1 is the best guy to teach you FPS tactics. I'm a horrible FPS guy, but at least I have tactics. Still a lot to learn, like hit the target, but I can cover and catch a bullet for my team mates.

Yes, I there is not much we can do right now (in game) When 3.0 hits I want to hit the ground running. To accommodate this right now I am working on setting up back end stuff like SOPs (Standard Operation Procedures), standard (recommended) squad loadouts, and strategy/tactical basic for Ground (with and without support) as well as ship-to-ship. I am wanting to have a first (rough) draft done by 3.0 so I can push it out to anyone that wants to focus on team based FPS in SM and the verse.

although I am only an associate, I would like some training, right now only using a keyboard and mouse, but will be getting a thrustmaster hotas soon after I come back from Versecon in Austin

I'd love to, but I haven't been sent an invite to discord for test squadron as of yet. If I have, it's probably just that I'm not great with checking my emails. My email is billyjgriffin2yahoo.com if you need that to send the invite.

Every time I try to it moves around the screen. Its like its drunk.

I'd say the group is getting smaller because the day and time keeps moving around too. I'd like to get training but I don't think we will even see each other online even if we are on at the same time.

Naaah, the group isn't getting smaller, its just that the flight model since 3.0 changed a lot, stability got worse, performance dropped a lot. Most people just tend to wait until it gets "better", other people just try to adapt to the new mechanics.

You did a good job with your gimballed Titan yesterday, impressive :beers:

I'm definitely not throwing my hat in to learn to lead groups but I am interested in learning about how to be effective at FPS. I've never really played a FPS game before and I'm not too great at PvP in general, but I want to be able to enjoy the game and not get ganked too often. As it is I'm currently just trying to not die so much in Vanduul Swarm. When the general FPS training starts up again I'll definitely want to get in on that, at least if I can learn one aspect of the game well I'll feel less hopeless lol

I am in! Like I mentioned on another thread, before joining TEST I was flying a lot with a friend that is part of the Black Star Initiative. And those guys have it dialed down! They are SUPER organized tactics wise, not only with FPS stuff but also when it comes to ship vs ship fighting, escorting scenarios and more. And they are not as big as TEST. If we have a group of people willing to embrace the same culture and interest I am sure we will obliterate the opposition, and take point on prime real estate like Jump-Town.

I have been leading clans in the past in both Destiny 2 and COD. That are still going strong before I moved to PC. So let me know how I can help.

Thanks!

Is FPS still an after-thought? I have little interest in arcade shooters (ARMA Mil-Sim player)

they have been, and keep adding to FPS gameplay. and it is more ARMA then arcade. just very different as its future space ARMA...
But still, a ways to go.

If there is training run when I can play I would be onboard!

Has there been any testing as to Armor? Like how much different levels are able to stop? or the maneuverability or different suits? I'm just curious because I am trying to decide between like armor and medium.

they added it to armor descriptions, 20% light, 30% medium, 40% heavy, if I remember correctly. as for weigh testing, I want to wait until they fine tune everything and make it the way it will be when the game launches.

 

[Kiladyn]

Thank you for the quick reply! Would you suggest light or medium for someone who plays with himself a lot?
