I'd just like to say, while I think the things added in issue 9 are pretty sweet, I'm an experienced player, I pity the newbs who have to learn all this new stuff AND the other stuff. I mean we all think things are easy, because they are after you've done them like a thousand times but imagine you'd never played this game before, now imagine you had to learn about enhancements, Training, DO and SO, then SKing and exemplaring, then task forces, respecs, giant monsters, reputation settings, SG's, bases, salvage, and now they've got to learn about inventions, recipes, universities and bloody auction houses, I mean come on it's enough to scare a newb out of playing the game, I'm sure looking at this you're thinking, what a retard it's hardly rocket science! But think about having to learn it ALL from scratch, it's a lot to take in, they may be tempted to go back to playing Rayman on their Playstation lol!!!

One of the nice things about CoH is that it leads you in gradually, even if you're starting from fresh, and most bits of it can be ignored if they don't interest you.
Even with the invention system, Co(H/V) is still very easy to get into compared to a standard MMO.
And what on earth is this doing in defiant heroes section?
Someone give Standoff a Spelling IO... 
Heh, I imagine he found it extremely difficult to type that first paragraph on purpose 
Very - I kept having going back and un-correct myself. 
Speaking as newb I feel qualified to comment on this. Apologies for lack of text speak, but I prefer the Queens English
Totally agree with Standoff, you don't have to learn it all at once. I think they've pitched the Inventions system at the right point. You don't have to worry about it until later levels which gives newbs a chance to concentrate on learning the basics first. By level 10 you should have a decent grasp on Enhancement use, even if your inexperience means you didn't slot wisely. Lets face it though, at lvl 10 how much damage can you really have done to your future build?
So by the time you're able to take the tutorial and start inventing, you should have enough background to 'move on' and I personally thought the tutorial explained things pretty well.
My only critisism as a newb is the effect of ED isn't very clearly explained, although I'm not at a level where its really an issue yet so perhaps I'm jumping the gun on that one.
Otherwise I think most newbs that just start playing the game will cope just fine with I9's gifts. TBH, I was more confused coming on here and trying to understand the acronymns and jargon you vets were throwing around!

I personally like the abbreviations that The OP used. For those that don't know enuf = enough. cuz = because.
