We were discussing last night a little bit on how to get newer players more interested in continuing to play this game after they start the game, we have discussed tutorials before in the past and they haven't really seemed to pan out much. But we had a new idea the other night to include pub achievements which adds on to the whole pub squad idea im going to toss out to get some feedback on. Basically were going to try to add "World of Warcraft" quests when you first start the game.. obviously to us it sounds retarded but to a complete newbie having a goal to get some bonus pub bucks for lets say collecting 20 greens and when they finish collecting them in the pub buck bonus message, we can explain how greens can give your ship powerups as well as giving your teams terrier which is the most important basing ship extra powerups at the same time. We can also do things like win a duel in pub, win a round of base in pub, 10 kills with every ship. Im sure you can see how we can start with the most basic of commands like pming the bot and shooting a bullet up to registered for twd. This will help raise the knowledge base for pubbers, will offer an achievement based medal system so new players have something to aim for instead of flying around just killing people not knowing about leagues/divisions etc, and will hopefully offer players who are used to having achievements in almost any single new game out a more comfortable feeling by having something to stride for when first starting.
Now this also goes with the second point of this, our idea is to have a few "stock pub squads" captained by active, experienced, and trustworthy players who will actually spend some time teaching and talking to people. These pub squads will have rosters and the new players can signup on a pub squad website, the website will be almost like a ladder where it keeps track of how many rounds X squad has been a part of winning, how many kills, how many points etc. It will also have a medal system similar to twd has for winning twld, where you can scroll over a medal and see which achievements you have and which ones you still need to get. Of course were also talking about doing real cash prizes for top players (as long as it isn't abused by old players) and pub buck bonuses for every player on a winning squads roster during a cycle of play.
Anyways obviously we need ideas for certain achievements as well as a description of why doing X achievement will make the player better or help their team as well. We want it to be a learning tutorial as much as it is a way to keep new players playing. I am sure we can come up with a good 50-100 of these in this thread.
