new player experience

[Immortal_Blood]

will be adding a 1 hour long Level 1-10 video to this post later, perhaps listen to it while you work, I bring up some good points. The music might be annoying though lol

Anyway, in writing I guess it goes something like :

• Tutorial is too short
• the old cutscenes are timeless and awesome
• nothing is really explained
• the 500p level up pack is 500p and not 605p, thats good
• no emphasis on the importance of following story quests (no exclamation mark)
• beginners luck elixir is almost useless
• beginners speed elixir would be better, then ask the player to buy a speed boost when it runs out
• character speed was terrible
• looting items for other classes, it was annoying
• chests consistently drop only 8g, it felt pointless
• bosses are too easy, require 0 effort
• elixir cost is great 500g, 2500g etc, also, the quests gave me more gold just in time, it was perfect
• gaining xp from enemies was painfully slow , even at level 4
• no warnings for choosing a 5th skill
• no idea what a hotbar is, it's not explained
• no idea how to use guild chat, not shown how to
• Dialog on screen says get slots from minstrel but that is no longer possible

The video:




also, for the new tutorial, if yall considering it, consider something like this, but separated individually and on click/tap it moves through each one.


Example: More important for the ingame character menu UI (I haven't made it yet, it's a lot of work.. )

new player experience - join / host

Many people say they can't find anyone in zones while leveling - I suggest updating the host/join system, or at least reviewing it.

Example suggestions:

• remove the join block completely - meaning anyone will join anyone, not just players within 2 levels.
• increase level differential from 2 to 5 or 10.
• let the player decide if they want to join/host to anyone or only within 2 levels.
  
  I like the third option.

Slots

- inventory slots at the time of writing cost 7m in auction - its too much - default inventory slots needs to be more.... players are quitting once they realise inventory slots are no longer a feature.




thanks

Ah, a grammar Nazi.

Instead of contributing something valuable to the idea of the original post, they do the opposite. High quality stuff.

@OP

I like the idea. We appreciate your post of showing interest in helping out new players understand the game. +1

I appreciate this feedback! New player experience is certainly high on our list of things to revise.
