Tutorial Expansion Suggestion

[matrixEXO]

Currently, tutorials teach very little in regards to what is needed to be learnt. Here are my suggestions on how better it can be. Note that most of them requires the player to access the arsenal/market/foundry tabs on his own will so the tutorial will not pop up until you personally access those tabs.

 

 

1) Parkour moves to be in initial tutorial, just after running. This is so that it ties with the movement section of the tutorial.

 

2) Mod tutorials on first access to mod section from inventory, one for mod list itself and another for the mod slots. The best way to introduce this is to have the first unlocked sector guarantee a mod drop during the first run then Lotus informs us post-mission that there are mods waiting in the Arsenal (also points towards Arsenal tutorial). All the mod tabs would be grayed out until at least 1 mod has been obtained so the tutorial can better teach the players using their own earned mod.

 

3) Arsenal tutorial upon accessing the Arsenal. They should inform people about how to change weapons, buy (optional) and all the tab's uses (what are customization tabs, sentinel tabs, mod tabs). This leads eventually to mod tutorials.

 

4) Foundry tutorial when first entering Foundry. Foundry should only be accessible once the player has at least 1 BP.

 

5) Market tutorial (optional) for when a player first visit the market. This tutorial teaches the tabs and what is available on the market (also teaches people about blueprints, how to get the blueprints and the parts/materials and the way of using it, tying into entering the foundry and starting the foundry tutorial).

 

 

This way, it would cover about everything that the players should know. Market tutorials should be vague about getting warframe parts blueprints by saying "They can be obtained through eliminating certain unique enemies in the region." or something similar. This vague detail is to allow the players who do not want to rely on forums or wiki pages to have that sense of exploration without accidentally stumbling upon the method to actually get them.

Whatever keeps the new players in for the longest and actually gets them ready to not die a million times in combat is fine with me. :P
