mmm, honestly, the community definitely has some people who'll just tell you to git gud unfairly (which is nonsense/trolling if you're just asking questions), and it has lots of people who'll just ignore your questions, but it also has some people (like me) who'll answer questions, so you kinda gotta stick it out, ask questions, and see if anyone's around who's nice enough to answer them. MB2 definitely has a long history of people doing impromptu mentoring sessions with newbies, although perhaps that's become less common recently.
can also ask questions on the
official Discord. You can find me on there and PM me directly if you want something explained, since I have a relatively encyclopedic knowledge of the game mechanics and common strategies, and an enthusiasm for helping anyone who wants to learn or improve. There's also a
wiki, and
guides, but neither are necessarily totally up-to-date.
Eh, given that tR is the most popular North American server by far, it's often the only choice, and it's not really a bad choice. I think Tylenol was just warning you to anticipate (and ignore) toxicity. You can bring the console (tilde, or shift-tilde) and write "/ignore playername" (e.g. /ignore Padawan[1]) to block chat messages from someone, and if someone's TKing you, you should announce it and ask for an admin, although that won't guarantee a response.
Tylenol's European, so he has more freedom to play on non-tR servers. You could play on European servers, but I don't recommend it since I consider low ping extremely important. I do recommend at least glancing to see if anyone's trying to populate other North American servers, though. Although that recommendation is mostly just me selfishly wishing people would play maps besides Death Star. But Death Star is fun, and as a newbie you probably won't get tired of it for a while.
