saying, “just read this” or “oh, you could’ve done this” does not help the initial problem that caused them to have the read about in the first place. By making the information more readily avialible they can be less “reactive” to problems and already know what to do, resulting in a moreover enjoyable and less taxing experience.

as a primary source of troubles that new players face on this site I can indeed say with confidence that these are valid concerns that the average newcomer may face. If something is posted out on some page somewhere that doesn’t mean that a new player is going to happen to read and fully digest it. I’m simply stating problems that I saw and providing possible/asking for a possible solution to said problems. Improvement to the new player experience would help with player retention and enjoyment, leading to more committed and happy players for wop.

ummm I am telling staff, that’s what “feedback” is, after owling a staff member they suggested to post here as well as listening to my ideas. Additionally, emproving the new player experience would obviously emprove wop as well, I am sorry that you feel differently.

Also as to the beginner’s guide length, it is not a mere one or two pages, but is 13 sections long in one tab alone, and contains 9 tabs. And this hasn’t even brushed upon the rules section yet.

thanks for the feedback! But to counter some of your points, maybe you have forgotten or neglected how a new player feels?

If you are new to this genre wop is anything but intuitive. And speaking from experience as a new player, I never stumbled past anything telling me about the food system, all of the guides and rules are simply too long to allow for easy digestion in a small amount of time. Being presented with a small CONCISE explanation would really help new players. When they are comfortable with that, then they will surely be able to digest the more complicated mechanics a lot more easily and readily.

The supplies situation can be tough for first year students because they have to hunt down all of the classes they need and do a mass clicking frenzy between dragon ally and the class in question, this is further capitalized by the lack of actual links in some of the classes list, the amount of classes needed to be taken not clearly stated, as well as where every item is located.

Also it’s not as fast as you appear to think leveling up is, after a couple of afternoons and more than a couple hours of sending owls and doing assignments, I’m still only level 2.

Assignments are not graded super fast for first years, I can speak from experience as it’s been a week since I turned in my first set of assignments.

And thanks for stating that you can ask staff for help, but is t the purpose of having rules, guidelines, and guides to limit the need to do so?
