The first ACTUAL English Guide
Introduction
Do note my net had crashed a few times while typing this up so forgive any mistakes I've made as I simply wished to get as much done in as little time as possible.
There are also three rules you must follow if you wish to succeed.
- Utilize your abilities when they're available and play your class efficiently, if you're playing the Sapper, don't try to right click everyone in the middle of the point when you've got full mana, place a Totem, lay down some traps, set up a Turret or place your teleporters to aid your team-mates instead of just dealing a little bit of damage compared to how much you can help your buddies.
and 3. Don't annoy your teammates, that goes for everyone, if you're a little bit low and your Paladin is healing a tank, just drink one of your potions or wait until one is ready instead of spamming 'Help' and 'Medic' It's better for your tank to continue soaking up damage so you can cap that point instead of the Paladin to stop and heal anyone who is just missing a small amount of health (500 or less*)
*Depending on class
And don't forget Panzar is a TEAM-based game.
Player vs Environment
Example: Your team is in the swamp map and they've just finished taking down the gate but need a bit of time to heal up/regain mana/energy, you just go off to the boss fight and start it early while they're not ready.
Try not to enter PvE if your character is only level 1, it's painful having a level 1 Fire Witch only being able to throw fireballs, a Sapper only being able to put down a totem
(even though it is extremely useful, a totem alone isn't much help compared to a totem with a turret)
or playing characters you're not fully familar with, now I'm all for people playing PvE, but when they do it without having at least some experience with their character, it just makes the mode a little less fun.
Player vs Player
PvP is where the cries for "P2W GAME OMG IT SUCKS" came from.
PvP is a fun gamemode and even more fun when you win incredibly fast (imo), communication is a big thing for most games, but unfortunately for english speaking chaps like you and me, communication is basically non-existant because of the high number of russian speaking players, not saying Russians are bad, just that communication isn't a thing when playing with them
(or others who do not speak the same language as you).
Make sure to do as much as you can in this gamemode and see what others are doing, if there are enemy fire witches lobbing fireballs at your friendly sapper turret, you can shield him with your shield ability if you are a tank, if there is a lone enemy fire witch, and you think your teammates are doing fine, you can try to take out the witch before she does anything.
Even though I advised against Lone Wolfing, if you're often able to grab the attention of a few enemies for an extended period of time to help your buddies out, try for it, don't always do it, but you can do it sometimes if you can do it without dying.
