I’m a mentor on moogle and instead of using the novice network whenever I’m not doing anything I’ll go to old zones and help new players with getting into dungeons if they are struggling or help with quests/fates.
Since the WoW mount hunters started becoming "mentors" just to get their mounts, NN has gone from being semi useful to, well, a shining example of why so many people are against WoW refugees…
I honestly didint know that the novice network existed before this video
Depends on data center and time for some NN. Lamia pretty chill until the suppose resident troll gets on and starts something with some of the mentors that they have to continuing Kick the suppose troll since they have multiple alts. Apparently he on the GM lists of ppl they are investigating or something.
First thing to do when picking up the Mentor status, turn off crown and leave novice network, you don't want to waste your time reading that trash.
If you genuinly need advice, just say or shout in one of the city hubs and you'll get sorted straight away.
First thing I have always and will always do on a new char: /nastatus off
Most of the mentors didnt become mentor because they wanna be helpful, they just become mentor because they want the mount. Take away the free mount, so only the player who really wanna help will go through the requierments without getting any profit out of it.
I got added to the network a while back when I first started in my first 50 hours, and left like a day after.
It's helpful on most servers and stuff but it's, in my opinion, utterly useless when guides exist. If some mentors are helpful, more power to them and godspeed. But after only 24 hours in one, it's usually chatter and shitposting.
The times I have been on the novice network ( after taking a few breaks from the game ) it was just chat filled with inane conversations and stupid arguments, and rarely about gameplay. I left pretty quickly each time.
I always commend good DPS.
just so you know, anyone who tricks people into revealing their creditcard number in the novice network can very quickly get banned, the reason this kind of occurence is very rare in the novice network is because those who do that (which are mentors) would be risking their account of some 2000+ hours played over something so silly (why 2000+ hours? because gaining the rank of mentor is extremely time consuming, crafting/trade mentor may be able to get it within 500 hours if you're willing to sacrifice 20-30 million gil to speedrun it, but things like battle mentor or pvp mentor is incredibly difficult, and global mentor is downright impossible for most)
I'm Germany and for the first one. They were probably on Shiva or something? Since its the unofficial German Server. I was on Shiva with an Alt and in a German FC of a Friend and there were a a lot of them who said they wont speak in English AT ALL and they dont want to, because they cant. I offered to bring some of my Friends from my Main Server over for a joined FC event but they got mad since they didnt wanna write English. Thats still a bad memory for me getting bashed for wanting to help them and it gave me a really bad feeling. So I REALLY make a LONG way around German filled Servers like Shiva. But I believe, playing in a multilanguage Game with other People is one of the BEST methods to learn English. At least I learned mine writing with People from the Games I played. Basically Flyff was my first MMORPG and heck was I nervous having to communicate with my School basic English at that time. But I found People to be really helpful with correcting me back then. I'm still far from perfect but it was damn helpful for me. It is ALSO okay to say they dont want to speak English and just live in their own German bubble-like-community. But then I didint like the fact for them whining about how they wanted to learn English at the same time.
Albsterz please play final fantasy xv
Au'ra male are most simp in the game (it's a jock, please don't be mad)
also from my own experience in the Kujata novice network (Elemental Datacenter, greetings from Japan btw (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧☆) the community has been very good, whenever nobody's asking questions they just chat about stuff to keep the conversation going instead of feeling like an awkward silence, of course when someone asks something regardless of whether they are sprouts or returners they always get their answers and are very rarely ever given a bad or wrong answer. the mentors moderate the chat so that we dont start to see political topics or hate speech in the novice network, and i personally have never seen the mentors abuse their power in the 2+ years i've been in kujata. before this i used to be in Malboro server Primal Datacenter and while i miss my old FC there dearly the NN there was not quite as good at least back when i last played in Malboro, i dont know about right now. in the Kujata NN there are always a few mentors that try to upset someone every now and then but generally its always a good time)
Alb's laugh gives me years of my life back.
"Do you think I could pull this top off?" This is a FAMILY channel, Albz. >:(
this is why as a mentor i tell Sprouts its more useful to use shout chat, whenever they ask to be added to NN …. =.= you can teach and help without being in that toxic chat
The best mentors I've met have been the silent ones. And I'm being mean or anything. I was running Ultima's Bane and explaining mechanics to fellow sprouts and the mentor was just sitting there waiting for us to set up markers and have us figure out how to tackle the fight.
They were good, because I felt "Well, if I get something wrong they can correct me". Like having a cheat sheet that you never look at, but having it ready gives you confidence.
I don't think your curtains match your drapes🤔🙃
I would think most the stories are fake. Novice Network really is just a General chat most of the time, but there is some helping.
As a sprout myself, I’ve disabled the Novice Network due to the occasional toxicity. I mean, why bother asking for help when there are guides from creators like Zepla and MTQcapture that help me out.
