This is probably a weird thing to be bothered by, but I cycle between 4-5 computers in general, which means I've had to get rid of the tutorial ~15 times in the past month's time.
It should be quite simple, I close the tutorial and it doesn't pop up until I ask it to. No. If I by "accident" complete something that is part of the tutorial, Aura comes back up, and everytime I close her I have to cope with this huge blue arrow telling me to resume the tutorial.
I finally figured out that you can just spam the next button until she goes away, but it still takes 1-2 minutes to get rid of her.

Why is there no "Skip tutorial" button - or alternatively, why doesn't your servers know, that I've already completed the tutorial on that account? Everytime I log in on a new computer, Aura comes up as if I hadn't played this game before.

There is like "show tutorial" button on options, if you bothered to go thru them. Also account sharing is a violation to EULA, whitch you just pretty much told you are doing, so GG with the incoming ban.

You can copy your settings, they are located on your local machine , not on the server - that's why.

Not to mention that sharing accounts is a bannable offense. Shocked

I did try unticking the "Show tutorial" box, but for whatever reason Aura still pops up next time I log in. Maybe it's more of an issue than a missing feature then.
I know I can copy my settings, but my other computers have different audio and display settings, so it's not really a viable solution.
This account has only ever been accessed by me. And yes, I know there's and edit history, I removed it from the post because everyone else is also going to point it out, which is a waste of time.

You can remove aura from your side bar, like I did. Never had any problems with dual training etc toons that did not do any tutorials etc.

And of course we know you are not talking about this account, would be mighty stupid - your friends are in trouble °°

When I removed Aura from the Neocom the arrow just appeared on the top button instead. Well I can't reproduce it so there's no reason to really discuss it. I just mistook the "Show tutorial" checkbox for doing something else because Aura for whatever reason popped up again later.

I also think I might have misunderstood the rules, I only ever heard of the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Gotta go reread the policies I guess.
