I think so. Now, I totally get Dust's fitting system. I get attributes, slots, pre-requisites, skills, all that. I've also played EVE a little over two months, so I've had practice with it before- and with step-by-step instructions, no less. Now, I get that at this point in time, a lot of the beta testers are either people who got in early via EVE, or people expressly interested in Dust, some of whom have also played EVE. To be honest, I skipped through most of the tutorials as well, but from what I remember, they were maybe one or two pages of "here's the basics- go for it!"
I'm hoping that on release, this changes. I want to welcome as many people into Dust as possible, even if it's just so I have more cannon fodder (though not really, because then they'd just leave). Note: I'm not asking for Dust to be "dumbed down," but a more efficient way of introducing players to the EVE world would be awesome. Only question- how? 'Cause quite frankly, no player just wants to read a wall of text. Maybe you get walked through a few Skill upgrades and then a test fitting? Get explained how CPU/PG/Armor/Shields/Cost works? |

this is a big point of discussion among the EVE community as well.
Basically, the only thing i can tell you right now is CCP is focused on more important things right now than working on the game's tutorial for new players....
If i was running the dev team, i certainly would put them on more important tasks.... |

There were tutorials? all I saw was a scanned copy of the game manual for each screen plastered on the screen. |

I think tutorials should be something the Devs need to work on. As an EVE player I jumped right into customizing my dropsuit and skills. It only took me around 5-10 minutes to figure out the interface on the PS3 with a controller to recognizing the similarities between DUST and EVE, before I took of running. But a new player who's never played EVE? They're gonna be lost.
I suppose that there will be player made tutorials and guides online, just like there are with EVE. But I think a stronger tutorial built into the game would go a loooooong way. |
