Okay I think we all know that PL has a few issues when it comes to helping newbies get adjusted to the game. Despite the fact that the recent addition of "notifications" has helped a lot, there are still many problems for newbies when they first join
Firstly, the pocket legends tutorial does not explain nearly enough for a new player. Sure, it will tell you how to put your weapon on "auto" and how to use a skill, but new players will have no idea how to add points (dex int str), add skills, or play their class correctly. I got to lv 17 before someone told me how to add dex and how to add skills to my lineup, and some players never learn how to play their classes correctly because of the lacking tutorial.
Second, many low lvs have no idea which stats to pump their attribute points into. In my experiences 7/10 newbies in forest haven are tri-speccers. The tutorial teaches nothing about how one should add points to his/her toon or even what type of points will help your character in different ways (I was shocked when I entered the forums for the first time and found that STR adds armor and dex adds damage). An easy way to fix both of these problems would be to make the tutorial longer and more class specific.
Third, I believe newbs entering pvp is another large issue in pocket legends. Many newbs decide to try out pvp and are continuously rushed by low lv twinks (yes im talking to you stupidchoices). When entered my first pvp match I was quickly discouraged by rushing twinks (yeah i called em hackers... not one of my proudest moments ;)). Many other new people rage quit the game/quit pvp forever because they were rushed by lower lv twinks. An easy solution to this problem would be to lock pvp for all accounts until a character on that account reaches lv 30. This would keep low lv noobs a safe distance from low lv twinks like myself ;)!
Last, the "firebolt" staffs Ellie the Enchantress sells in forest haven are very overpowered. These staffs have extremely high dps and over all damage compared to the str and dex weapons available to new players. Many new birds and bears decide to put points into int because they assume the int weapons will always be the best, but int soon becomes useless to a bear or bird as a main stat (unless you are going for an AWESOME int bird or bear like me :D). Over all, these over powered staffs result in unbalanced, useless, underpowered players. An easy way to solve this problem would be to put new, more balanced weapons in forest haven.
I hope you agree with my ideas :). It took a while to write this because the first time I wrote it my ipad crashed... lol... saving in word from now on! ;)
