Why not use the old fashioned stylised flash "movies" to explain stuff like that, accompanied by text. Those vids are easy to make (and edited later on if it's needed) and can be set to autorepeat showcasing what's explained while said newbie is reading the text.

Great link, thanks :)

Will there be a way to remove the opportunities icon from the upper left UI?

If the first message you receive about them is suppose to turn off the full feature its not working like that currently. and there is no way to turn them off from the current opportunite window.

I think if you say no at the beginning opportunities should go in active and only show up in the Neocom as something you can turn back on.

I just had a friend go through the tutorial for the first time, it all went pretty well. Until he had to buy something from the market and he only had 10k ISK and could not find anything he could buy. I gave him a hint that he could buy some ammo for cheap, but then he got stuck because he tried to buy a ammo crystal, which is a bit more expensive. Same thing happened when the opportunities asked him to inject a skillbook. He could not buy one, because he didn't have any money.

Great Idea to keep opportunities affected newbies away from all tutorials, even if they get links to them. It's certainly an easy task to understand things like scanning signatures or using data/relic analyzers without any kind of guidance from the game. Pointing newbies to the help channels Instead also is very handy (the opportunities mentioned in the dialog don't yet cover those topics), especially for players of a supported language where there's no GM and also no ISD presence in that specific Help chat. The community will handle that.

One true advantage, though: New players quickly get a feeling for the way CCP sometimes releases features. Unfinished.

@Koebmand We have ways of telling if an account belongs to a new player or not, and all reports we do filter out accounts of existing players, regardless if they are genuine alts or just taking a peak.

It would also be easier to try the opportunities on SISI instead of creating new trials until you get it.

We are aware that the SISI build currently contains some work in progress opportunities so at the moment it is not perfect 1-1 comparison to TQ. As we do more tests we are also looking into improving our processes around it.

We can definitely do better in allowing existing players to try out A/B tested new player experiences.

If CCP can tell if it is not a new player account, then pls disable the tutorial for each alt account I make, its really annoying that you have to fight the client to get Aura out of the way.

When people make a new trial using a new random throwaway gmail / yahoo account, you still know ? which is afaik the only way you can make a new trial.



Can't see what actually went live on SiSi, so meaningless to do them there to see what is going on on TQ.

Reddit post for CCP's attention: https://www.reddit.com/r/evenewbies/comments/2yycgd/opportunities_tutorial_frustration/

I started the game as the "old" module of aura and tutorials and now i helped my girlfriend start her account and the feedback for me is negative. She tryed to do the opportunities as any new player wants help starting to understand the game and she passed most of the time in the regional market (and that is not fun for a new player) because it says buy something or inject a skill book wich they dont possess and they dont know yet how to make isk so she searched forever to find a new skill that she could buy. The old system didnt required that until the career missions and there we got isk and the other stuff. So i think the opportunities dont teach them the ropes and thats what is expected from a tutorial that by the way was removed and therefore they cant learn a bit more neither have missiles to lunch on the career mission of caldari that demandes the use of missile launcher and it says to press f12 for the tutorial that no longer exists. Sorry for the long text but on the reply on my ticket i was told that the best way to give suggestions was by this fórum. Thanks.
