ProverbsofHell.2307 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 It can be obvious things, like telling new players about breakbars, hard CC like stun/knockback, and DoT CC like cripple. Or more unusual things that even veterans may not know, like typing "I am Evon Gnashblade" into Trading Post. I think this would go a long way towards giving players easily digestible pieces of information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, well that's the "optional" part. You would obviously be able to uncheck this in options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say to hell with those people. If it can't be shoved into the tutorial anything that can help new players learn the mechanics should be welcome, especially if it's just text which shouldn't take up enough space to warrant complaints.

It's really strange they chose not to go ahead with them... although they should've had a checkbox, people will complain about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatly, yeah. I did enjoy them tho, something that immediatly caught my eye at launch when they were gone. And it would only be benficial to explain how blast areas, breakbars, cc, etc... work.

lokh.2695 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I would wholeheartedly support an option like this. Unfortunately, if you explain the game to ppl, it upsets them and takes away their enjoyment. If you tell the ppl how a cc bar works you're basically telling them how to play the game and that's evil. This is why we can't have nice things.

That's okay, in my suggestion there is a checkbox to disable hints. Although they should be on by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killermanjaro.5670 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Giving information on loading screens certainly wouldn't do any harm, it's just a case of if they'd really help anyone, in that a lot people don't know some things simply because they choose to ignore any text or simply can't be bothered to read. As often evidenced by the amount of people who link items in chat asking "what does this do" despite it literally saying in the item description.

Linken.6345 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 hardly see loading screens playing on a ssd so I got no problem with this being mandatory even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I thought they had some information on loading screens past beta (there at beta, then gone, then different? information some time after launch), but it's been a really long time. I don't remember players complaining about it, though. I think it was lore-related information back then. Tips/hints/info would be great on loading screens, is my opinion. Even though I usually minimize them, as my potato takes so long to load maps. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
