I had someone who thought that as a non-sub your guys don't develop their skills or what not. Clarifying the particulars like that would be good. Also, some leagues require you register for them via the website. That wasn't explained anywhere I could find - I just figured it out myself. ......................... vet Posted May 25, 2009, 9:45 pm

Jaguar Smoke Jaguars Autodueller Renegade Group: Members Posts: 424 Joined: May 6, 2009 How to take back a move before the turn is resolved - that is, because tab doesn't unsubmit a move, someone may think that once you submit, it's set. But you can actually click the button to undo it as long as someone else has not done so either. ......................... vet Posted May 25, 2009, 9:50 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Thanks guys. We're going to focus on stuff that's completely within the game client, to start with. This is because the website is currently being reworked so some of the web-based actions will be changing (for the better, I hope). ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted May 29, 2009, 2:29 pm

Jaguar Smoke Jaguars Autodueller Renegade Group: Members Posts: 424 Joined: May 6, 2009 Oh, one thing to keep in mind, by the way, is to avoid using lingo and general assumptions. New players and/or people not familiar with indepth car stuff will not know what it means to hook around something, what a bpu is, etc etc etc. It can be easy to explain things in terms you're familiar resulting in answers that don't really answer anything. Likewise, explain things adequately. Just staying "Do this. That's the right way" doesn't help people understand why they're doing things or why they should do it that way. ......................... vet Posted Jun 6, 2009, 5:00 pm

Rick #Red# Ryder Reds Ryders Sunday Driver Renegade Group: Members Posts: 76 Joined: Jan 12, 2010 While it's still fresh in my mind: Having the tutorial make me use the F1 key would have helped with retention of that info. Also I was clueless about Alt-G until a friendly player tipped me off about that that. F2&3 would be pretty useful info for someone who dives into arena, I spent my first several matches blasting resigned cars. How to resign and exactly what that means to the gang would be a good one to focus a second of the brand new player's attention on as well, if it's in there I forgot it by the time I needed it. I may have been told some of these things, but was too overwhelmed to hang onto them. A timely reminder whenever they become important would be good. Perhaps *closeable* tip bubbles (the talking head actually blocked my target info during one tutorial mission and I couldn't grab and drag the window) as well as the option to turn the tips I have mastered off at some point during the experience. ......................... vet Posted Jan 18, 2010, 6:10 pm

Juris Hessians Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,706 Joined: Sep 16, 2010 An interactive tutorial would be better than watching a video. The current driving tutorial is great, but there's nothing like that for scouting, participating in leagues, designing vehicles, managing characters and what skills do, doing missions, etc. I had to figure that stuff out on my own recently and I can tell you after three failed missions its not easy. Its kinda harsh on newbies who don't start with good scouts and tend to get overwhelmed on a scouting mission. ......................... vet wv pvp1 pvp5 pvp4 race1 zom pvp2 deathrce1 pvp3 combat1 Posted Oct 14, 2010, 11:33 pm

sabin_davarious b52s Pedestrian Merchants Faction Group: Members Posts: 10 Joined: Jun 21, 2010 the point of the videos is to assist the new players out if they cant figure it out after having it explained to them as many times as they want then honestly they probably wont like the complexity of this game ......................... vet wv Posted Nov 3, 2010, 3:06 am
