Player Features and Ideas Discussion

1 how to load and fire your weapon is covered in the npe

2 it has an objective summery and there was a warring

3 they should end by having the player open the corp add window and finding a corp

2. Yeah i thought it was in red text.

3. Points to soe arc iirc. But pointing to corp recruitment might be good as well as profession based npc corps that they can join (should really be a thing).

I'm firmly of the opinion that nothing CCP will do to teach you this game will ever come close to having other people teach it to you on the go. I actually don't think a new player could go through a tutorial that covered everything and understand what it even means,

Whenever people talk about making things easier for new players, I think that should go as far as having more new player friendly corps around and that's it. No vet picked this game up from the tutorial.

Ccp can't make in game recommendations for player corps. It's playing favourites. It also pushes noobs into the paths of wardecs that they may not want to be part of.

NPC's career corps can be pointed at by ccp to pool new players with like minded folks. I think it'll be a better alternative to the current npc corps.

ccp can also just show how to use the search feature... the starter corps are already technically focused into different areas but it doesn't work does it? all this would do is cause a new player to faultily assume that this npc corp could offer something of parity with a player run corp

Begs the question why they don't just increase the window size? I mean, it's a window ... People use windows in Windows, Linux, Apple's OS and whatnot else all day every day and customize their size according to their needs. How hard can it be to figure out that you can resize the window like any other window in any OS or computer environment that people use on a daily basis (even in the tablet environments you can now resize app windows)?

That is not to say that the standard chat window, overview window and selected items window are hideously small and the standard window size of the the chat window should be increased by at least 100%. What you describe, however, is a person utterly lacking any sense of curiosity to explore even mundane things like the UI functionalities.

ECM is not always chance based? Since when is that so? I mean, you can increase the likelihood of getting a successful jam through by using amplifiers, using the right jams on the right ships or jam a pilot with lacking sensor compensation skills, but apart from that, it's still up to chance whether you get a successful jam through or not.
And Null sec is for new players? That depends heavily on the environment. Most groups cannot support the needs for new players, which turns their experience into a bad and disappointing grind. Most new players also expect things going on every minute of their online time and expect other players to do that for them. Since this is not the case in most null sec areas, their experience turns into a, in their perception, boring activity. In most groups actual new players also cannot contribute meaningful things to the group nor support themselves because of lack of viable income sources (yes, salvaging and looting are 2 very fun activities that a new player full of enthusiasm wants to do every day until they can rat themselves. /s). Therefore, saying that Null sec is unconditionally suitable for new players is false advertisement.
