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

[LucaGoes (CR10s in advanced difficulty = :()]

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 >: |

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

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.

Mentor was really just a placeholder

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

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

Mentoring and You: A (clarified) idea

A lot of you have probably read or scrolled past my Mentor thread, if not, here. Many thanks to @Ganjamira and @Vicks_Toire for helping me with the planning in said earlier thread, before I begin ^^ Basically, with lots of changes for the better in the coming future, now is a really good time to try to stabilize the player base as best we can. A few select people, 'Mentors' in groups of one or two, would offer to party up with and help newer players understand the nature of the game, since so…

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!

Beautiful!

[shaynehurdle]

I am all down for this too. I wanna help as much as I can. I am on Xbox one. If you wanna contact me, it would be easier by facebook or on the xbox1 please. My name there is Shayne Hurdle and gamertag is ASStaban.

Thank andI really appreciate the effort you guys put into this to help not only new players but to keep the game alive.

[Vicks_Toire (unmaking the universe with math)]

Good on you man
Glad to have you aboard

If there were no floor to the bucket then none of us would be here.
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.

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.

[FlamesForAll (It's a SIEGE profile picture!)]

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.

[Tehh_Hamster (They call me hot air cause I rise to the top)]

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.

[epicender584 (Ambra's Arbiter)]

I wish I could but not having a working mic makes things tricky

[FlamesForAll (It's a SIEGE profile picture!)]

You can get a working mic for like 20 bucks at a local Wal Mart or variant…

As a high schooler with no job, that’s not suuuuuuuper easy, but I’ll look into it
