Cher: Greetings Kenneth.
Ken: Cher, what path did you take to get to where you're fighting now?
Cher: Now I'm slow leveling and plan to hit the 60s in a few more months as I feel it is much more fun at that level.
Ken: What are some of the common mistakes that you are seeing in clan tactics or player tactics this war?
Cher: Faction Wars is not common, but it's not rare. Faction Wars take a lot of hard work to create a clan of 40 or 50 members. I believe the main reason or a common mistake all clans or most clans does is a lack of communication. Lack of communication, planning, and deals of sorts.
As for a 40 or 50 members in a clan, some people do not understand why it was at such high amount. But it's more of a tradition than a set of real battle. I remember the First Faction Wars. Everything was new and everyone who wasn't a good communicator had bad set ups for clans. 40-50 members is to bring in the rivals into a common goal.
Ken: How do you feel about the increase in player accounts being reported? Do you think it's just a dirty tactic, or do you think it's personal?
Cher: The reason why many people are being reported and locked out is to disable them from their accounts. It could be a person reporting, but never can 1 person report 1 person and that person would be locked out or disable. One report can't do that much damage. it's a Facebook problem so to speak.
Ken: What are some recommended ways pilots out there can improve themselves that you feel is being overlooked?
Cher: I think I can use myself as an example. There are three types of players. The first and most common is campers. The second type is spenders and the third is free players. Now you can do combos with them meaning you can have a spender who's a camper and a camper who is a free player, but you can't have a spender who's a free player.
Camper means someone who try's not to level up and gain as much resource in order to beat players around their level. Free players are players who does not spend.
Spenders are players who spend money, but there are 2 main types of spenders. The first type of spender is a monthly spender for a low cost and the other type is a dropper. Someone who spend big money, but only once in a long while. Here's the catch though. I've have seen many big spenders not as strong as they should be. Just because you spend big money doesn't mean you're automatically stronger than a good camper or any other kind of players. It gives you the advantage to more equipment, weapons, and mecha, but if you don't know how to do builds and combos or maximizing your resources, than you're no better than a free player. So my point would be, having the correct build for the mecha and placement is the number 1 most important skill in order to become a better pilot.
Ken: Someone recently said that M.G. was "a game of resources" and I found that very accurate. The ability to obtain and gather niodes, crystal, ferrite, and bioptics is critical to getting everything you need to being stronger. What are some of the things you've learned that could help our up and coming pilots?
Cher: The more friends you have in the MG world the more resources you'll gain. Stronger clans tends to have or gain better resources and of course a little investment helps too.
Ken: Another thing I see is high level players who have issues with pilots 20 levels lower. How can these players improve?
Cher: The level does not determine the strength of someone. The amount of niode gear does not determine who is stronger. A lot of people misunderstand that level does not equal strength, but what it does is guarantee you potential strength. At a higher level it gives you the advantage to better weapons, Mecha, and better raids. Does that mean you'll beat every players 10 level lower and higher than you, absolutely not. The best way to improve is to slow level. Know when you can level and if that level means you will be any good.
Ken: What other advice do you have for the troops out there?
Cher: That's all I have for today. Thank You.
Well thanks for that Cher! I'll let you get back to work and settle up our tab then. I want to thank all the
patrons for hanging out and listening to Dragon Clan pilot Cher Lee and just remember,
the more you know, the less repair costs you'll need!.
