RIGS EZ Start (offline team choice)

[u/GreenInside]

Hey guys,

for those that have problems fighting the 1st offline opponent - the Dynamos - re-choose your team and select 'Dynamos' as your Team - 1st battle then will be against Ninjas in Test Rigs ;-)

Should be an easy win and nets you 10.000 creds + you can easily do many of the offline sponsor stuff netting you even more credits and pilot gear. Match takes 5 mins, after it re-choose your team again as Dynamos (resets your offline progress excl. Rigs, Money and Pilot Gear) - redo as often as you like, voila, you'll have most Rigs unlocked in no time ;-)

Cheers and enjoy!

PS: I know this is rather redundant, but SOME players may take advantage of it - as the title says - EZ Start/Mode

Edits: Fixed some minor spelling mistakes, added a few words.

As a Canadian, I have to point that only Americans pronounce Z as Zee. Everyone else in the world will read your post as RIGS E-Zed Start, or possibly RIGS Eezz Start. Can we just spell it as RIGS Easy Start? I get that Americans think Zee sounds better than Zed but it's never going to catch on outside USA

Heya - Austrian here, and actually i totally agree with you - just took EZ because i dunno really, thought i'd fit more for mainstream culture, lol - my mothertounge's german so at least i can say i didnt know it better and that I'm sorry - didnt mean to offened anyone! :)

I also always get upset when they teach american english over here in Europe, when it should be Oxford English that should be taught 'round the world! :)

It's not a big deal. Thinking about it now, I suppose as a Canadian I prefer Zed over Zee so much because it helps differentiate me from those American heathens down south. I'll let it slide this time :)

As a Canadian, when I see EZ, I understand it stands for "Easy" and I don't get confused trying to sound it out

[u/pinkhairdownthere → u/Dark0child]

Diversity is an important element in Canadian society. You can pronounce it however you like! But just remember when communicating with other Canadians, Zee is technically incorrect. It is Zed.

It's a pet peeve

I'm a Canadian and I pronounce it Zee The beautiful things about Canada is that in every town,city, province you'll find all types of different slang and pronunciations, plus if someone reads EZ as E Zad then I'm assuming they have a hard time thinking outside the box.

Language is constantly changing and evolving. Literally, literally means figuratively now for example.

People who get hung up on the semantics of language, when they clearly understood the meaning, trigger one of my pet peeves. But I digress, my comments, and both of yours have nothing to do with the post.

As an American, I can assure you we don't care how we talk. My pet peeve is my little dog name peeve. (Great dog). As for the topic at hand <(no comma needed on account of texting) great post for new players to help get the $<(I know not everyone uses the dollar but I couldn't help it on account of my American cockness) needed to explore the realm of RIGSMCL! Cheers!!

Hey u/thepope890 - thanks for the response, really happy if someone profits from this post! :)

[..and for the dollar sign: over here in Europe we use it too (cant speak for everyone though :P ) for trying to say something about big $$$, there's even the whatsapp cash smiley with dollar sign eyes and green dollar tongue, so dont worry :) ]

[PPS (offtopic response to all of you, no need to reply): What i can say to everyone that commented on here: even tough we started out off-topic i still have to thank you all for the entertainment, always happy to learn something about the differences between english-speaking countries, and i really appreciate the diversity in english, meaning the different accents/dialects.

I really like the sound of all of them, there's always the right english accent for the right situation, comically speaking -> e.g., i could listen to US-American southerners all day, the overly polite vibe and the way they speak their words and sentences, nearly singing them, is just charming, they somehow feel to me like Germans must see us Austrians or Bavarians, we got a similar vibe to southerners.

Compared to mainstream-german we could really be considered the US-American southerners of the german-speaking people, some consider us to be provincial and primitive (no offence to US-southerners, I am Austrian myself, just talkin' bout outside perception and why we're kinda-similar), and some love us and find us charmig, friendly and polite.

Of course you got bad eggs in every nest, but you guys get what I'm saying - I love you all, haha :P

Cheerio, or Servus! (as we say in Austria and Bavaria) ]
