I want to start this off by thanking Nikita for announcing a tutorial map on the podcast. I think this is huge for news players and so here are some things I think would be nice for new players to have at 1.0 of EFT or coming up to the tutorial map. (I have 700 hours in EFT so I get that I'm not a new player but I want to see this game flourish and I don't like seeing my friends try and get into a game I love and be so discouraged)
As it is now I think the new player experience is really…really bad, but not that it's bad for EFT because it's in BETA and the new player experience is more a trial by fire and for testing game mechanics and not so much bending a knee to new players.
But I think:
I don't know, maybe I am a bit too disconnected from the new player experience but these are some of the things I thought were a little annoying about starting Tarkov and some of the things that my friends dislike about starting, getting lost, confused, and frustrated at the game because nothing is explained. I really like the idea of a tutorial map and I hope that some of the things I listed here are also included in Nikitas plans to improve the new player experience and that it doesn't stay like "I want it to feel like being kicked in the balls"
Let me know what you guys think, if I'm off the rails or if you also think that some, all, or none of these would be good for new players. I do think the difficulty of EFT shouldn't be downplayed but it shouldn't be a thesis project to start it. (if I wasn't artistically inept I would have pic examples of all my suggestions sorry)
