planned Longer and more informative tutorial

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

You can.

I guess your right, but I didn't have much success in it.

Maybe in end of tutorial gold drops in RANDOM location of map and beginner must find it? When he finds it the AI owner of that m3 tank could say "Ohh! You got your first crystals! Well i guess you no longer need my help here! Get into garage and buy your first tank! " user gets thrown into garage and forced to buy EXPENSIVE smoky m0, hunter m0 and green paint. (Holiday paint is before the tanker buys green paint) and after he makes purchase worth 500 crystals he is left with 500 crystals.

A gold box is bonus content that isn't essential to being able to play the game. Might as well keep it as a pleasant surprise for new players to discover by themselves.

Suplies activates only in later ranks not for recruit tankers so i think making them drugg in tutorial is unnecesary but dropboxes should be included in tutorial.

Pff that just suc... actually... that's a pretty good idea :huh:

 

Tutorial needs a huggeeeeee rework. How can I go in this game with no idea how to play CP and CTF? What a gold box is? The game is getting more complex with each update, you guys need to explain it to newbies more efficiently. Way more.

How? They realy dont care about gold and ive joined battle 10v10 and when gold is dropping.. NOONE cares about it. It can sit there entire map time and noone is even trying to get it

All the better for gameplay then.

Looks like 1000 easy crystals for the player who has more experience :D

I tried to shove all of them inside the garage but the thunder kept killing everyone.

Yes. If in espenade gold drops in bottom where there is rusted metal floor it is free gold. Ive joined map multiple times when gold is just sitting there. Wanted to defend it and yes... Noone cared about it so i was sitting there for 5-10 mins trying to defend it but noone came for it...

Under review

The tutorial is meant to be easy. It's not supposed to train the new player to fight against real opponents - it just gives them an overview of the game and its controls, so that they can get a feel of it and continue playing if they want to. I agree that it's missing a lot of features like supplies, game modes and all the remaining turrets and hulls, but making it more difficult isn't really necessary.

 

And as for the interface, you can click the question mark button and it will show some tips on how to use it:

 

Also I'm sure there's some articles about this on the Wiki and/or Help site.

Then maybe make a notification telling you about the help site at least?

I played tanki for about 6 months before I first found the forum and help site, because I first played on miniclip, so I had no idea that there was more than just the game for a very long time.

Honestly, I don't think this is necessary. The tutorial doesn't really serve as a tutorial but more of a fun little taste of what Tanki it like. It is meant to get you hooked into the game rather than teach you everything you need to know. As you suggested, a bit more health to some of the AI tanks would make it a bit closer to the game without taking away the fun and easy feel.

 

Perhaps instead of the tutorial getting a rework, there could be a mini intro when you first create an account like some other games do. For example, it takes you to the garage and describes everything. It forces you to buy Hunter and Smoky and Green to get you used to purchasing stuff.

It could then take you to the battle screen and run you through the different battle modes and how to join battles.

That alone should give the new user enough of an intro to not be "thrown in the deep end" of the game. 

Newbie on the tutorial:

Look at me! Im da boss! I blow up tanks with ease, this game will be a breeze!

Playing with other players:

Wot even is this...the tanks won't blow up!

In the lobby:

I have to make it to the 8th rank in order to even CHAT!? wth...

Noticing different turrets:

OMG! OMG! That guy shot a blue beam at me and took a HUGE chunk of my health! Why does he get THAT gun and I'm stuck with this one that takes forever to kill people!? Why wasn't that gun in the - OH SH**  that guy's shots BOUNCE off walls! And over there! THAT guy has a friggin' MINIGUN!

 

Dude...the tutorial at least needs to go over all the hulls and turrets and make the AI health be the normal health instead of a two shot to kill everything...and the firebirds that come at you! They die pretty much instantly!

Okay, I'm gonna try it again, thanx for showing proof that it can be done :D

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Either no one cared for the gold or they just didn't notice it when they passed it :D

 

Either way, the poor gold box would normally be lonely and forgotten :D

Yesterday I met a guy who drove over the enemies flag.. and then he did not know what to do with it.

I saw a guy who complained he couldn't capture the flag... he kept driving over his empty flag platform with the enemy flag as it was a stalemate :D

I had lots of experiences of players who didn't know how to drop the flags when their unable to move on :D

 

because they were upside down :D
