Tutorial (possible spoilers)

I purposely did not check out the tutorial in Beta so I could get the full experience on a new lowbie once Live. Today I had that chance when I created Vicis, my Ice/Time Corruptor.

It was amazing. I am very VERY impressed with what the developers, art team, everyone came up with here. Its so cool! I love the layout of GC, the rubble, the shivans, the CHAOS! The pathing can feel a bit rushed but if you just stop and take a moment, you really get a feel for the amount of work and effort that went into the zone(s).

Once I leveled up and passed through the tunnel, I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I do know that I didn't expect a GIANT SHIVAN! There I was, with a handful of other heroes, fighting this giant monster at level 2! Very heroic like.

So, as much as I ***** and moan about other aspects of this game I have to give credit where credit is due here. Very well done Paragon Studios. Very well done indeed.

Thank you very much. Please take meh moniez.

Second.

One minor nitpick... In the voiceover during the Giant Shivan attack, the announcer says Zone Events allow players to "work towards a common goal."

IIRC, it should just be 'toward.' But that's just me being nitpicky.

Beautifully done.

I found the new tutorial to be confusing and over way to fast to make sense of. All in all a fitting introduction to trials, raids and strikeforces.

On heroside, I advise you to do Matt Habashy and that entire line before running the Sewer Trial or Doing Twinshot. You can outlevel that mission line pretty easily and you should get the entire experience the first time through.

The new tutorial is awesome, but it's over a little too fast, and there could be a little more info in it - when the situation is that exciting and dynamic, it doesn't really need to hurry players into the "proper" game - it could be treated more like an introduction mission, rather than just a gameplay lesson.

The developers have done a awesome job with the for new tutorial. The old one lacked the excitement and anticipation of the new neutral tutorial.

This new one I can see myself running each and every time on every new character and I hate to say it but..........the Praetorian tutorial doesn't have the same level of fun compared to this(my two inf.)

I agree with others that the tutorial was very fast and went over quickly too but it was a fun time and for me,that's what really counts in the end,a fun time!

When the servers get back on,I'm going to try the tutorial on redside,wonder how that will be.

Personally, I find the voice over to be incredibly grating. If it weren't for that, it'd be pretty cool.

@Oathbound & @Oathbound Too

All I know is that I started thinking I had finally gone over the edge to full insanity when the voice over played.

Unless they've changed something since Beta, you can complete the new 'tutorial' by using brawl four times. Just tag the initial required Shivans and let the NPCs do the rest. At the 'climactic' final fight, just stand right up in front of the hole in the ground, and go make a cup of tea - the jets kill the others and the giant shivan for you. It's impossible to fall below 1 hp in any of it, so there's no challenge in any of it.

I loathe the new 'tutorial'. It's a barely interactive cutscene conveyor belt.

Eco.
