I very much agree with this. There's a ton of tutorial-style messaging that it would be nice to be able to customize and turn off. I have hundreds of hours at this point, but I still can't pick up some map types - that I've already used - without the same tutorial mission about using maps popping up.
It's extremely aggressive too.
Logged in and kapow, felt like I was hit with a lot of confusing new terminology. I played for 10 minutes than quit out of overwhelm.
I'm excited seeing all these updates. But I'm so out of the loop.
I think part of the issue is, the game makes you feel like you're supposed to "get it" all now. Whereas in the earlier versions, it just dropped you in the world, and you were expected to learn at your own pace.
If you can get past the initial information overload, accepting that you aren't going to retain or understand it all, then you can go back to playing with the "I'll learn when I learn" mentality.
Aren’t tutorials already optional?
Kind of. You can just ignore them and do your own thing, but I don't think there's any way to get rid of the persistent messages.
