Metal Bunny Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Can someone remind me again, why we don't have a forum tutorial for new players? It seems to me that while exploration is.. great, it is also simply awesome to have it in easy access somewhere, as it is getting more and more... and more... It would also help out the LHO process in the sense that LHO's could tell people to check the forum for spoiler-free info, in case they have questions and no LHO is online. Also, this way, you can moderate what is and is not considered a spoiler. Downside is what again?

Grido Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Kinda pushing for new player info to be on the help pages in game, I theoretically have access to edit the main ones now, so what do you feel should be added/changed with them?

Metal Bunny Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 More transparency about what spoilers are and what is not. Perhaps more info about spells and illusions (spoiler free). What the crap CTC/ATC/ITC's are, what items can do What are scenes or in scenes (tags, co_ords, clickables, custom clickables, basically, all the stuff in the announcements that Mur put in over the past months) But really, transparency about what constitutes a spoiler (with examples such as; the solution to the bersker's way puzzle is a spoiler, but saying... is not) And transparency about what constitutes an abuse and what doesn't and the conditions surrounding it (glitches, report them or not, with examples, etc) Atrumist and Watcher 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubaris Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Lot of things that you want to be posted, are present in my Tutorial Campaign Quest, available 24/7 by starting at the Park's signpost... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted January 27, 2012 Root Admin Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 There is a wikia people can search infomation for, i would say thats a better medium to hold information regarding the game mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Bunny Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 So, maybe then a forum topic that links to those things? I usually only search forum. What if others do the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubaris Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yes, but you are a veteran that, like most of others, mostly spend time on forums, searching for news, rather than in game itself. Tutorial is needed for those that are new to MD, who spend most of their time in game, rather then on forum. Tutorial Campaign Quest that I made is also announced along with other quests in "quests" tab up in the list of links in MD, and it has its own forum topic somewhere deep in the forums named "Tutorial Campaign Quest" So the only way if someone can't find it, is because they haven't really tried properly.

ChildOfTheSoul Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Well, it's not like we can't have the best of both worlds. There can be a link to the forum tutorial in-game. If we make one, that is. Edited January 27, 2012 by ChildOfTheSoul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubaris Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 MD community is generally against spoilers. Lessons through tasks are much more appreciated (MD rules vise...), otherwise, you would have those tutorials on the forum already. Remember that MD is several years old, with a lot of fossils and veterans, such themes would pop up in the forum already, but they didn't due to mentioned reason. But, times change, generations replaced older ones, maybe this time it'll pass fluent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Bunny Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Which is why I advocate transparency about what a spoiler is, not the actual spoilers... Also, this time fluent? I have no idea into which direction you are thinking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubaris Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 In sense that maybe this time, someone (you) will manage to put a list of "how to"s and "what should"s without opposition. Smooth, fluent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Bunny Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Yes, but I am lazy and busy with the constitution.. also, I'm not sure as to a couple of things if they are spoilers or not. So.. Someone else (and I do mean multiple people), try and do it? A collective effort would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted February 1, 2012 Root Admin Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 You should talk with grido regarding this. Grido 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
