CCP Gargant wrote:Greetings new citizens!
We in the Community team have a question we would like your input on. When you started EVE Online for the first time, what about the game confused you the most?
Is there some mechanic or feature, or even just normal game-play, that you wish someone could have pointed out to you right from the get-go? A word of experience you would impart to an even newer member of the EVE Online family?
But lets be serious here - I can see where this is going. "What areas of the game are hard for kids to understand, tell us so we can nerf the hell out of it"
The tutorial just needs more work - CCP could help newer players by producing video content that explains some of the mechanics e.g. http://youtu.be/XKnObxB9XCs (Which by the way, is awesome and helped a lot back in the day). Slick, well produced video content is the way forward. From the new player perspective CCP spends so little time trying to help new players and just leaves them high and dry after the tutorial.
A wiki is fine, but it's a bit 2006.
Forum posts have a habbit of descending in to madness and everyone just making awful posts. Keep eve vicious and frustrating, but help people understand their frustration with some flashy visuals and soothing music. |

Err... I don't think they were offtopic.. Just because it doesn't fit with what you wanted to hear doesn't mean you should remove them. They wern't offensive and were opinions of players..
Don't be such a bad.. |

None of the information we are attempting to collect here is to be used to affect any sort of change to the game or the Terms of Service, but is rather part of a Community Team initiative that will hopefully help provide answers to these questions to new players.
Well, whatever. Please don't discount my other input based on other posts that you deem to be off-topic. I don't think any of us are 'angry' - but censoring posts that the player base feels are on topic is really bad PR when trying to appeal to new players.
Regardless, there are some good suggestions in this thread. I'm glad that the time has come to revamp the tutorial / give more information to newbros. Helping the community help new players as well should be on the top of the list. |
