That was quite a poor tutorial. The voice disruption made it so I couldn't understand a word of what was being said, and the captioned text went by too fast, and would often get skipped because I walked too fast. It also asked me to do stuff but didn't tell me how (like the super jump), and didn't really explain much of anything at all.
I guess I'll just have to get geaked a few (dozen) times in an actual game to figure stuff out.
Yeah that tutorial is SHIT. We know this the mod lacks the funds to hire more voice actors right now and there is huge debate about how and or what the new tutorial should and shouldn't do. Rock Paper Shotgun looks to be hosting a tutorial event on sat IIRC it will be on my clans sever I'll try and find the post on the RPS forums but yeah on this game learn the hard way. Just please learn decking on a empty sever. Decking is such a few people can do it on a sever that even one newbie can screw a team over.
Also if need be I can walk you though bits and bobs been playing it for ages I guess I'm one of the old players now. I don't feel it however I'm easily one of the worst players in the clan scene or at least in the top 8 clans though that might not be saying much the top 4 clans are godly TANK, Kaya, Nb and Psy have some of the best players in the game. While my clan ZLJ is more on par with [LOSD] though we do have some of the best deckers. Competativly there are 3 real teirs of clans the ones who suck normally that years fresh blood clans. The middlers and the elite often have a core of plays form the Ux releases when it was still technically demo/beta.
I have to pump the competitive play part of Dystopia as it is built round it now many change are to make clan play better and more balanced. I know we have also impressed some big names in pro gaming with this but the learning curve and assault bases game-play dose tend to put of newcomers. We find those who love it will keep playing for years those who don't tend to grief and then fuck off.
http://rockpapershotgun.com/rpsforum/topic.php?id=3358 The RPS tutorail and details. I've mention vagely to one of the organisers that I'm canvassing dumpshock so unlikely to get a negative response. In fact I think you might well be welcomed as we always want new players.
