Error in Tutorial?
« on: December 30, 2012, 09:35:05 pm »
Hey there,

atm i go through the tutorial but in the second stop (crafting boards) is maybe an error - i accidently forgot to give exactly 2kg firwood (i gave 2.03kg) to the terminal. it gave me (in tutorial storage) 1.03 kg Boards back. But there it ends. if i ask the officer he will always tell me how to handle the terminal. cutting another 2 kg is senseless either because it stays in my inventory and doesnt move to the storage.

in my opinion this is not logical. and there is no way to repeat the whole mission. so i am stuck because i dont know where tutorial storage is to put the new firwood insiede... this is really not the experience i ask from a good online game. for me its a bit chaotic.

Hi Charles "CS61" Stokes,


If you raise a helpdesk ticket - I am sure that Dedicated Logic will be able you fix this for you.


If you cannot wait - you can abandon (skip) the tutorial and you will  be transferred to the Tutorial end point (New Urengoy city).


You can read the Tutorial narrative and watch a Newcomer go through the Tutorial here: First Task - Newcomer Tutorial

Oh wow ... no Skip button and no access to any Buildings ... have you tried a Ctrl-D to see what happens?

This is known issue (and we are working on it).

Actually, the tutorial should be only available for (and actually made only for) newcomers, with no AWD at hands, so they can refine/craft for free only by following exact instructions provided by tutorial.
It works fine for newcomers, but "Alpha"-citizens are getting stuck when doing refine/craft with wrong amount, as they are not passing the check on the server (by refining exact amount of resources).

P.S.
The idea to enable tutorial for everyone (not only newcomers) picked up from this forums suggestions right before the release, so we simply did not had time to adjust it, so this is why it doesn't always work if you not follow instructions.
Hopefully, we'll be able to fix it in coming weeks (as it has a very low priority over other things).

sorry but maybe you should rise the priorty for this BEFORE implementing new things which also cause new errors and you end up at last with a long list of not corrected errors ingame which makes the whole game not interesting enough to pay for?

As he said, it wasn't designed for people who played AWA which is why there is the option to skip the whole thing. By going through the tutorial all you gain are some of the lowest items in the game, just slightly better than the free iron tools in the trash cans.

The reason it was added as an option for AWA players instead of only brand-new players was because we asked to be able to run through it too so that we could find bugs. A bug that only affects pre-AWS players is inconsequential when you consider the fact that we weren't supposed to be able to do the tutorial at all. However, since some AWA players were still newcomers when it was closed, it makes sense for at least those players to be able to do the tutorial which is probably the only reason they are planning on fixing this bug in the first place.
