RE: Class Specific Discussion Forums
I agree.
In fact, this forum has no specific sections at all about help with game mechanics (namely WoE) or any class-specific discussion. Sure there's the "Help/Guide" section but that gets filled with crashes/RO-error problems and turns into more of a installation-troubleshooting section rather than a place to get advice/guides about gear/builds/levelling.
I'll try not to turn this into a WoE thread, but I think a big reason alot of players suck at specific areas of the game is that they get little to no help on the forum. These days, the only way to become 'good' or 'go pro' it seems is to join a well-experienced guild or play RO for a damn long time.??
I, for one, literally suck ASS at EVERYTHING PvM. I don't know where to level, what gears are the best for the fastest levelling, what's required for MvPing, what the new gears do, etc. I levelled my hunter on damn enchanted peachtrees before the world of hillwinds blew my mind and hillwinds aren't even THAT great.
BUT, arrogance aside, I know my WoE. I know what needs to be done in WoE, I know how to do well in WoE and I'm willing to contribute to this forum to help if this section is made. A lot of this server doesn't know enough about how to WoE properly simply because they can't get the PROPER help they need unless they're in the top WoE active guilds. (An example was that thread just earlier about profs bolting in WoE, seriously, people need to learn that you just don't do that). However, if there were written guides or simply just a bunch of related threads in a dedicated WOE/CLASS/LEVELLING/GEAR/BUILDS section, it makes things a hell of a lot easier for people finding it hard to be good at this game.
Also, I know there's @Main for general help/queries in-game, but seriously, nobody's going to give a page-long indepth response to a completely new person to the server. In fact, the noobs that ask for help on main often get sarcastic, wrong or useless info when they could be self-researching the proper stuff written by the most experienced players over the forum.
EDIT: I don't know if you guys can read, Seth and trintontleruern, but this thread wasn't made for whatever reason you are posting here.
