Sorry to necro, but in the spirit of suggestions that need to be done first, I believe the Tutorial needs a few tweaks to help encourage new gamers! Azzer's last opinion back in August 2009 was:
Expanded Tutorial/In-Game Help:
Improved user friendliness for new players. In-game tutorial system was introduced but probably needs expansions to cover attacks better. I'm after player help on this one, being the "typical coder", I'm no good at writing manuals or teaching people how to use the things I create (not all coders are like this, but this is "atypical" of programmers - make the programs, useless at writing manuals/instructions).
I think Azzer was right, it needs extending. My suggestion is that players are walked through a whole attack and have the news report of the battle explained to them as well - for example an attack on a tutorial bot to demonstrate how to flak past a target to land. Also, I like Dimitar's suggestion of incorporating some link to Live Chat or similar.
