How to give advice

[SenorPatty]

There's a lot of "how" to give advice but not a lot of "what" kind of advice to give in this thread. Or maybe I missed it.

-Relevance is key. Why talk about lvl 70 rotations for a job when the only issue your drg in Sastasha has is forgetting to use heavy thrust?

-Try to be direct/specific. Falls in line with what was said above. Don't have to write a whole paragraph about your advice when you can say it in a few words. When it comes to explaining mechs, my rule of thumb is to explain what hasn't been encountered before. For example, the first boss in Sirensong is one I won't bother explaining anything as it has mechanics that has been usually seen in past instances. Compare that with say...Number XXIV in Castrum Abania and his Elemental Pillars. Its such a specific mech that can actually be really detrimental to the party if not done right that I do explain it. But just that and nothing else.
Now if the party wipes to everything, then I try to fully explain everything.

-Learn to actually let go. Guess what? Some people just won't give a damn about your advice. You already repeated yourself twice. Typing the same thing 3 more times isn't going to make them magically go "FINE MOM!" and do it. Chances are they just don't want to or...they don't understand the language/in another chat tab/too busy Netflixing. Either way, your just wasting mental health on being aggravated.

Can't sympathize. I don't understand the people with your mindset who think they are above criticism and that people need to sugarcoat every little word they say. You already admit you should work on that, so instead of getting upset take the good points and learn from the situation.

Not all players wanted to take critics from random players, especially with bad tones. I understand, veterans only want you to grow and learn, but some words may be put wrong and ended up taking all the fun.
