>:( The Diffuclty Of the tutorial is Impossible, it took me 2 HOURS just to get through it, and it is so annyoing, tell me what you think here
-
I thought it was pretty straightforward myself.
Did you read the tutorial walkthrough?
-
I disagree. What do you think is hard? Was it hard to read the dialogue? Was it hard to answer with "yes" and "ready" all the time? Was it hard to give/take some items here and there?
Even if you did experience it as very hard, so what? It does imply you learned and will have less difficulties in-game :)
By the way, welcome to PlaneShift. ;)

I'm not sure if I am lucky, if it is just a fluke, or if it is the tutorial, but I have met some new people that are good RPers. Anyways, it could be the tutorial and that prevents people like I was from entering the game, not prepared to roleplay, which I do much better, now. The tutorial is no more difficult than the quests will be. Long, maybe, but easy.
-
Hmmm. I made it through the tutorial in less than fifteen minutes the first time I went through. The only reason it took so long is I was trying to break the quests. Note that I had never actually done any quests or crafted anything.

I think there is a big difference between a long-time player doing the tutorial and a brand new one. I did not have much trouble with it, it took maybe 1/2 hour but I was already familiar with the interface and the particular quirks of implementation. Those are the kinds of things that are real barriers.
How many times do I still run off and open a bunch of unwanted windows because right-click->talk icon did not put the cursor in the chat window and I start typing. It is true that there is the walk-through but it is sort of like learning to surf in the ocean by watching The Endless Summer. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060371/) You kind of get the idea but you still have to actually do it. I really think that anyone saying it is easy should try to remember that there are many things about this game that are counter-intuitive and need to be learnt. Just because it is second nature to you now doesn't mean it is that natural for others.
