I just started playing lockdown yesterday and I knew nothing about it. My friend was the one answering all my questions but he had only played once before as well. I've played about 20 games in last two days or so and find that it's really hard to get used to everything. I just wish there was something that could help me become a better player. I really enjoy lockdown even if I've lost a lot.

That's why I think there should be a training hall for lockdown, even if it's like a mini game type thing. I want there to be a place where i can practice dashing, a place where i can learn how long the shields for guardians last without panicking and a place where i can learn how recons work. I know there have been other threads suggesting this but, I still want this to happen. I believe people are missing out because they don't dare to try lockdown and blast network because they have o idea what it is and it will scare them off (that's why I've never played before till now).

The first game I played, i freaked out! What the heck is a recon? Why do I have to choose one? I don;t understand what's happening....TT I'm pretty sure that's how all first time players feel (without reading any type of tips or guides of course). Even so, I guess you become a better player with experience but it's incredibly hard when you're a first time player and you have to play tier 3 because you have been efficient enough to have all 4*+ gear.

So I just played a T1 LD match. It was NO FUN AT ALL. It had either people who knew exactly what to do or people who didn't know what to do at all. So I could've been the only person on my team who actually knew how to play but the other team kept killing me because they ganged up on me. Also, two members of my team ended up leaving in the middle of the game. So the odds were 2:4 i.e. 1:2. That's very unfair.

I believe we actually need a space where we can train and play around with the equipment without spending 200cr. So all noobs and veterans alike can dash, guard and be invisible as much as they like :D BUT they would not be able to deal damage against other knights. Maybe have some mecha knights or something that regenerate right next to the bases. Just a few. so we could practice dashing and slashing them. Therefore, it won't be just like LD and won't take players away from it.

Maybe there could be a mission where someone explains to you the other options that you have when it comes to playing. And that person will explain what LD and BN is. Therefore, new players will have an actual idea of what they could get into. Instead of being completely scared or just not bothered because you're paying 200 cr to play something that you dont even know could be worth the 200 cr. like What are krogmo coins!? (i would ask as a new player).

I Already know Nick has said that a more efficient waiting list is on the to do list BUT here are just my ideas of what I would like to see and think would be efficient. So I think there should be 3 separate lists for T1, T2, T3. On the lists it will have the waiting players names and they will be numbered so that player #1 will be next to get into a game etc. BUT it will be the players that are waiting OUTSIDE of LD. So not the players inside waiting for the next game, but people OUTSIDE waiting to get in and play. So people OUTSIDE know, okay so I'm 5th person waiting.

AND I know there are people who try to get into a game with their friends but its all really up to chance or where they are on the waiting list that determines if the player and their friend/s get into the same game. SO maybe we could have some kind of system/way that people could pair up or form a group of four and wait for a game that way. Therefore, your little group will stay together for as long as you keep pressing play again. This also fixes the problem that there is hardly ever guilds signing up and they have to be called to play.

I have found that even if you play with what seems like the same players again and again (cuz they press play again), even if you press play again, it doesnt mean that you DO play with the same people. I was playing with a friend and when I was transferred with the other players to the next game, he was left behind waiting for another game. Like WHAT?! That doesnt make sense? and I reckon it becomes unfair that he should have to wait longer when he was with us in the first place and we are now playing.

Well today I played a game of lockdown where 2 people from my team left in the middle of the game. So it was 4vs2. A week ago or so, I played a game where 2 players left as well. So we were left with 2vs4. I think it's really unfair for people to leave during the game. I guess in the game today, we were already losing. But still, you're just gonna give up and doom the rest of the team? idk. I guess there are some people who have to leave because of chores or something. But, I don't enjoy it when people leave. Even if it's to my teams advantage. So, I'm proposing, maybe you have to pay a fee for leaving? I know you already payed 200 at the beginning and wont get the krogmo coin at the end though, idk still seems unfair. Tell me what you think. This may be one of my most subjective suggestions yet lol.

Tell me what you think.
