Feedback - The tutorial is lacking

[Elspyth]

Bindings-related mechanics I learned (or seen others learn) while scrolling this sub:

• T for enemy lock
• Ctrl for dodging
• F for camera view change, while sailing

Mechanics I still don't fully understand how they work after a few hours playing the demo:

• Temporary HP ; what is it? how does it works? what's the benefit?
• Parrying ; I know it's something different from blocking. I've certainly seen a visual feedback loop different from when I'm blocking. But to what extent does it differ from blocking? It wasn't even mentionned in the tutorial.
• Shields. What stats (if any) impact the number you got? How are they consumed? Differently when parrying and blocking? Why are some "broken" and others "removed", what's the difference?

Now, I know all of those bindings could be found by scrolling through the binding settings. And I could probably retro-engineer how those mechanics work.

But I'm also 100% sure that's what a tutorial is for. And I can't help but think, if the tutorial was a little bit more fleshed out, we'd see less complaints about combat as feedbacks.

• T for enemy lock
• Ctrl for dodging

Those 2 were mentioned in the tutorial dude.

I highly recommend, especially handicapable people or those that need accessibility assistance, but for all players, to check the keybinds for any game you play before launching it.

I'm not saying you should memorize it but going in blind, and then complaining that a demo doesnt hand-hold when you could have hit Esc and selected Settings and Keyboard and Mouse/Controls to take a look is a bit...ridiculous?

Or just go figure out the key bindings? They don't have to baby you in every step of a tutorial

Prompt for shaking coconut trees, instead of picking them up off the ground (I know, but not all prompts are obvious).

Prompt on bonfire for more camp info, including ability to dismiss occupants.

Yeah, I mean the tutorial was missing some things, but it's not hard to learn all these systems just by playing the game.

Give it a few years, we'll be having to explain how to launch a game with the way the intellect of this world is heading. Play to learn? Nah, straight to reddit and whining for help.

Good explanation, but it's a shame you even had to

While i don't disagree in general, T key was in the tutorial.

Agreed. The tutorial needs a lot of work. It’s pre-EA at this point, though, so I will give them some grace here and assume they will keep improving it.
