Topic: Why the tutorial nerf to screw over newbies?
This game is already hurting for new players. Taking away the 10 easiest missions in the game and 2 free bots and forcing people to start grinding faction rep in an arkhe at level 0 training missions is utterly insane.
Why was this done? This is my 3rd account and I bought it specifically to mine and run transport with my other miner/indy guy and was sorely disappointed to find out yesterday that I wasted my money. I thought for sure it was a bug with the patch as there have been many others and was talking to GM Oley who checked 2x and assured me this is intended behavior.
Are the devs crazy? What's the point of screwing over the least catered to group of players and taking away the only thing they had going for them aka an easy start? Especially considering brand new players don't know how they're being *** and even more so with the fact that they don't know that they will need high levels of diplomacy and patience to overcome this huge unnecessary obstacle to progress. This will drive people away even more; I promise. Your user base is not the same as a Korean grinder.
As for me I'm skipping the missions, the transport and just going straight to the mining because it's the only thing I can do without a ridiculous grind in the way and I'm sorry bought a 3rd 90 day subscription.
