See a low CR? Be a 'Mentor' today!

Battleborn Battleborn General Discussion

Added a tl;dr post at the bottom of my wall of text for those who just want imminent details o7 [quote=“Vicks_Toire, post:22, topic:1546459”]
I’ve already got a number of members from my FB group interested in mentoring and the next step is getting them to join the GBF.

Definitley send them this way! The more people we have, the more players we can help! Once we get a small number of committed individuals, I can get around to making a PS4 community for it as well, possibly a steam group as well(though full disclosure I only play on PS4). I maaaay be able to round up a friend or two as well, but a lot of them are on the Overwatch side of the fence, so it’s not a strong possibility.

It’s all good. get anyone you can.
I own the game on all three platforms but I primarily play on XB. So I can manage that side pretty well.
Maybe make a new topic to focus on the highlights and what the overall goal is.
Link it here
and I’ll get my people on here asap

I love this as much as I loved the “BattleSchool”-project! :heart:

It would be great if this idea grows in the same way.

My secret hopes would be that GBX would implement a “Mentor”-title. Maybe rewarded after a certain playtime, CR100 or rewarded after 60% of titles completed, ect.
This way it would be easier to reach out to new players one meets on the battlefield, showing them you´re open to help and give advise.

I think in WoW there was such a thing too.

(Should have a better name though, “Mentor” is good, but it needs to be rather obvious for new players that it means “Guy that might answer my questions if i ask nicely”)

Also I´ve big hopes for the XB1-group feauture that comes soon. Its always a bit rough to get bigger groups together on XB, besides from friendlists.

Gah, sorry I’ve been so busy! Lots of irl stuff going on atm, but I did want to make sure I sat down today and made sure everything was ready >: |

I’ll get on this right after I work out a few more things out.[quote=“Ganjamira, post:25, topic:1546459”]

Do either of you have any possible alternatives? Mentor was really just a placeholder since it both got my message across and let people know what the intent was. I’m definitley up for something more GBX-ish if anyone has ideas.

Mentoring and You: A (clarified) idea
#27

I did´nt wanted to attack the name or idea at all, to me “Mentor” sounds awesome and its quiet obvious what it could mean, but I still meet high-CR-people in matches who ask “What is that Nova you talk about anyway?”, so there is obvious and obvious.

I heard GBX plans to make hint/tips that pop-up as textboxes, mch as loadingscreen-texts in BL. If one of these tips explains the “Mentor”-tite and role I think everyone should get it.

Personally I think “Mentor” fits in the BB-titles pretty good, along the lines of Eldrid- or Jennerit-titles :heart:

How about “Follow me if you want to Live”? Something like that might work.

I’m down to devote some time helping on XB1! Add me and message me @Gr1mPulse and I’ll help on my off days (Sat night-Tuesday night).

Also, if any Devs at GBX read this, I believe it would be AMAZING to add a “Mentor” (or something better sounding) title and maybe one for people looking to learn some new tricks. I’d rock the title and help anytime I could!

Edit: Just read some previous posts and I am 100% with @Ganjamira ! Also, add me brotha! I’m down for anything BB related on my days off! =D

Edit 2: @LucaGoes Make the title “Badass Guru” or something!

If there were no floor to the bucket then none of us would be here. :grimacing:
I think the problem is all the holes in this metaphorical bucket. @Jythri and his team are doing their best to patch those holes up and we (mentors) want to do all we can to still the water. Especially come the time of the new updates were I’m sure we’ll get an influx of new players. I don’t know if we’ll do much but it’s better then doing nothing. :slightly_smiling_face:

Titles that might invite people to contact you?

Or at least let them know you are knowledgeable, etc?

I think either Mentor or Guru would work best.

I think the only way this would consistently work is if people who agree to take the time to do this (especially with randoms) are on mic right off the bat when they get matched up with a team and explain that they will give help / advice and answer questions at any time.

Dig the idea - some people (like myself) are very vain when it comes to these sorts of things. I’d gladly take a title in exchange for helping some new players learn the ropes.
