New KDF Tutorial

edited May 2013 in Tribble - General Discussion and Feedback
So I see no posts on this so far, unless I have missed them.



So, with the character wipe (boo!), I lost all my toons of course. But it said that some folks would be able to make KDF toons now. So I did.



I played the new tutorial and honestly...it's pretty good. It's missing some stuff, like a cutscene was instead a static picture that just skipped to the end after the talking was done. But aside from that...I haven't seen any bugs whatsoever.



The only real issue is that listening to some of the VA felt...forced. Like they were trying to be someone, and not really being that person. I didn't feel convinced I was really hearing a Klingon when they spoke. Some of the text-only dialogue felt this way as well.

Don't misunderstand, for 90% of it or so it really felt very Klingon-esque, but a few bits are nagging at me that it wasn't a whole experience. Maybe I'm just too nit-picky. *shrug*

I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    It's OK. There's a lot of graphical glitches, like floating in between the bunks when you get attacked. The multiple voiceovers feel like I've been assimilated.

    Same here, the Galaxy did not spawn so I could not continue the mission. Also as a feedback, the first bridge officer is not auto-assigned to a station and there is no tutorial that tell you to do this. Not every new player will be able find the station tab and assign the officer manually, right after starting the game for the very first time.

    At the very start, I was talking to the KDF officer and the voice over about how the move your characters was also playing. im not quite sure the sequence of events but it was annoying to listen to the klingon and the instructions at the same time. maybe the help needs to fire off faster?

    The opening cinematic in space did not work.

    all 3 ships were there from the start. the klingon vor'cha had the decloak animation, even though it was already uncloaked to begin with. the fed ship was sitting there the whole time and did not warp it.

    When you get to Qo'nos, despite it saying you got a ship costume token, states you need to pay 750 zen to change you ship appearance! :eek:
    KDF Future with Cryptic. Fact.

    What Cryptic should consider before releasing anything.

    For what it is worth, I started a new Fed character after the wipe, and the same situation prevailed. It would cost me 750 zen to modify the appearance of my starter ship.

    So, this is not only affecting Klingon players, but *all* it would appear...

    The Rura Penthe mission was all kinds of Awesome! As a Fed I'm starting to get jealous of the Klingons, and Romulan starter missions! Now just get the bugs ironed out.
    When diplomacy fails, there's only one alternative: violence. Force must be applied without apology. It's the Starfleet way.

    I have to say I was really enjoying the tutorial mission quite a bit and I mean who doesn't like Drake? Sadly the bug where the Galaxy doesn't spawn kept me from advancing and finding out how he manages to escape.

    Is it strange when I did Rura Penthe as Romulan I had a B'rel that fired photon torpedos yet when I did it with KDF I had a B'rel that fired Plasma Torpedos?

    Tutorial Missions does flow quite well. Curious why they ain't reintroducing FvK lt-ltcmdr pvp now that KDF start at lt as well lol.

    Ah well got to start playing more into it again. I only wish dialogue choices mattered slightly more and you could punch Drake.

    Quick Edit: Yeah just did Otha - Still no loot for first place winner lol, so no change there! XD

    Basically just confirming some of the same issues other testers have experienced in the tutorial, at least as far as I could go into it.

    Yup, Galaxy-class did not spawn at 'Rescue the Seg'pa' for me either, shame too because I was really getting into an otherwise great tutorial. Though I didn't have the issue with the First Officer; he was auto-assigned as soon as I took command of the ship...odd. Some optional newbie BOff slotting instructions couldn't hurt though.

    (I wonder if the non-spawning issue has something to do with where the trigger lines are placed or something, because the pop-up to talk with the Fed captain seems to occur a lot farther from the Seg'pa than I thought it would occur. Either that, or some hapless Fed trainee forgot to press on the brake, leaving the ship gallivanting off to who knows where. :D)

    I know the non-stopping voice overs have been an issue in-game for awhile, but having 2 of them going at the same time w/o the ability to stop either one? That's annoying.

    Yessir, Fed ship is there at the beginning alongside the Klinks. Didn't even notice that the Fed ship was supposed to warp in until that part of the dialogue came along; a little confusing.

    In conclusion: Please fix these, especially the first one. I was just getting to the good part. :)

    I am loving the new tutorial so far. Very detailed, it seems...more than the Romulan, even. But I've only gotten through a few parts of it.

    Very nicely done from what I've seen so far! :)

    Not sure if this is intentional, but I can't complete Friend or Foe - I follow the mission, complete it but says I've failed it?
