Newcomer: CTRL-D after clone creation does not transfer to NU
« on: December 22, 2012, 02:10:47 am »
After completing the clone creation in the Clone Creation Center and being transferred into the lab - if the player performs a CTRL-D, they are revived in Mugen Village.


I expected to be revived in New Urengoy, just as if I had chosen to end the Tutorial early.

The Clone Creation Center and the lab are in MV... why would Ctrl+D bring you all the way to NU without first skipping the tutorial? A new player might want to run through the tutorial and also try a Ctrl+D during the tutorial.

Because (IMHO) Ctrl-D is opting out of the Tutorial.
I cannot see a reasonable reason for not being taken to NU.
In addition, if  the lab is 'local' to MV - a player asking for help could be told to Ctrl-D ... which then means they have to make the run all the way to NU. Good Aprils fool joke - bad karma for game.

With the new complications that come with reviving/botting I think that in general we shouldn't advise new players to use Ctrl+D without knowing about the specifics of where they've already been.

If they are in the lab - I know exactly where they have been already ;)

Shouldn't Ctrl-D have the same effect as Death?

And shouldn't Death during the Tutorial mean reviving at Mugen.

The tutorial states " Notice: if you are new to the AfterWorld, we strongly recommend you to go through the introduction / tutorial part of the game.Of course, you can jump directly to the Quarantine zone (the New Urengoy city) now, but in this case you won't be able to take tutorial later and will need to read wiki and/or ask other players on how this game works and what to do.However if you decide to go through the tutorial now, you will have a chance to skip the rest of it at any moment and jump directly to the Quarantine zone."
Once you start the Tutorial - Ctrl-D takes you to NU.
You can also go there when you exit the lab (you have 2 choices: NU or Tutorial").
To my thinking everything says you have two paths, both end in one destination --> NU.
Anything else is a bug.

Actually, Ctrl+D while in tutorial returns you to the nearest blockpost, so you can continue training.
I see a bug only if you press Ctrl+D while you haven't started tutorial yet, e.g. you are inside the Clone Creation Center.
The fix will be: Ctrl+D should be disabled at all while player is in Clone Creation Center.

Issue logged.
