    When I used to be a rookie, I watched the experienced players how to make decent walls, bridges, towers, traps. In this way I managed to avoid getting accused and learnt to be a succesful builder.
    You should watch your fellow mates' performance and try to learn from them the good examples.
    There is nothing wrong with the Max-Play.pl CTF server. There are impatient people all over the servers, so you shouldn't blame one server, because the actual players in that server kicked you.
    If you accidentally collapse one of your team's creation then apologize to your mates, try to explain you didn't do it on purpose.

    Also, as many said.
    READ THE FORUMS!
    Reading the forums makes you better then 50% of the builders. and mayby better then 15% of the knights/archers.
    'tis a great place to learn the ropes. And i'm happy that you enjoy it! (once you buy the game, i recommend playing mainly on gold servers, its usually alot more fun in there)

    Indeed. I'd suggest reading forums and wiki if you have the time. Read the general "Do's and don'ts" threads for every class, that way you get a general gist of what to do and not to do. I'd suggest playing an archer for starters, that way you can observe other players, like how knights behave and builders build. Try not to destroy your team's buildings (even if they are your own, there are no nametags on buildings and people might think you are a griefer).
    Also, if you are not planning on buying premium version, then Beo's CTF is a very good choice for public servers.

    LEEROYYY JENKINSSSS!!! :p

    greefur !1!!! :eek:


    I can't remember my first days too well, it's been such a journey lol. KAG is amazing :) I remember one though, when I was making a tower and someone said "Knight, this is what we on the forums call a 'newb tower'". I got so mad. :p Another time I shot a knight who was holding a bomb was just about to explode, and he was stunned for half a second when I shot him, so he couldn't throw it. He blew himself and all his friends to pieces. :D Good times.

    Do you remember who said that?
    I remember making my first real tower.
    And making it 20 blocks high.


    *quiet*Many friendly knights have died that match....

    My first day was spent actually going through the solo tutorials for fighting and movement, and seeing it immediately pay off once going to multiplayer servers and playing against lots of other new players who didn't. It's kind of like now, how some knights can only power attack and still don't know how to vault or properly throw bombs (even if their timing and aim are off).

    I didn't really have the same experience as you being vote-kicked. I intentionally stayed away from builder at first until I understood how not to harm your team when building. It doesn't matter if you are a good builder or not, just don't be a bad one (or decide to intentionally grief).

    In my first day in kag i didnt understand a lot of it, the game did not have any in-game tutorial but an image in the game folder,i played in a gold hunt server,as an archer i died about a lot of times i didnt know how to make arrows properly,i got killed another hundred times with the other classes and quit.

    like one or two weeks later i dicided to play again because i saw that it was updated with new graphics and stuff and it was when i fell in love with KAG, i always played as a knight (in that time knights could destroy stone blocks) i played in deathmatch servers and in a capture the flag server that could hold 64 players, good times.

    My first day was great.
    I thought about building something but i had no idea what to do, so i stood there.
    I thought about fighting but i didn't know how to go knight.
    When I figured it out and went to fight i died very quickly.
    I tried archer but I kept missing.
    At the end, all i did was build catas and shot rocks randomly.
    Good times.

    I remember about Totalbiscuit's video. He was too stupid to use a catapult properly and used that as an opportunity to say that it was still in alpha and had a lot of bugs. What's more, he was blocking the catapult this whole time, dicking around with menus and picking it up, all while in fire mode.

    Too bad he's most people's first impression of this game.

    To be fair the tutorial doesn't cover most of the games basic elements, nevermind how to use a catapult. He'd clearly only spent a few hours mucking about with it before playing it and he freely admitted that he wasn't very good and understood very little of the gameplay.

    This is the most important thing for noobs. If you're never played the game before, hang out and OBSERVE. It pisses me off so much when new people immediately start building giant retard structures with no form or function and then get pissy when you try and give them some direction/pointers.

    The tutorial tell you nothing except how to move and some stuff about the physics. He told you nothing about the quarters, the catapult as you've said, and a lot of other stuff, like the different gamemode.
    Youhave to die a thousand time and to hang on the forum before having an idea about how you have to play.

    I guess with a .KAG if it wants to play nicely one could TRY and load the signs in a map that also has shops and gives you coins at an interval (not sure how to manage this one properly other than making them free) to try out all the different things.

    I joined KAG when before build IDontEvenKnowAnymore. With the old log-in screen. Found via a live stream marathon of TotalBiscuit (after he featured this game, the site went down due to a server overload lol). Loved it ever since.

    First day of KAG I hopped on the server and ran around with the different classes, exploring the castles and tunnels the earlier people made. I tossed a gold bag around for a bit and made a little tower. No one showed up so I went to bed.
