New player tutorial encounter

Post#1 » Thu Apr 15, 2021 5:36 pm

Hello,

RoR is an amazing MMO server, and we have alot of veterans and new folks alike. But the game is not very well designed for teaching new players some of the special pvp mechanics this game does different than others. So I was thinking of a system that would teach new mmo players and veteran mmo fans, some of the basics for RoR pvp while they are leveling their toons on here.

Something along the lines of:

At level 10 when each archtype have learned their classdefining abilities such as Stealth, Ressurrect, Guard, Charge etc.
You get a quest you must complete to advance (after completing this on one char on your account you can choose to skip the quest)
The quest will take you into a boss encounter where you based on your archtype will be told how to,

- As a tank you will be asked in the encounter to Guard on a friendly target and stay within 30feet of the target to help them survive the encounter. In the same encounter the Boss npc will cast a big animation cast ability and the encounter wants you to Taunt it to interrupt the cast.
- As a Healer, there will be a dead ally you need to resurrect as a quest objective, you will have to detaunt an NPC running at you teaching the players how Detaunting works to mitigate damage.
- As a Damagedealer you will be need to detaunt the boss when he is doing the big cast ability, teaching players to mitigate damage during big spike intake.

Im sure the devs might have acces to some instance that could be used for this, the boss ogre from nordland order pq chapter 2 or some other boss model could be used for the encounter. And the quest could reward the players with like 5gold to help them get their starter mount.
Breif text explaining what is about to happen and what you need to do coming across the screen during the encounter to help players understand what they need to do, a little bit like Deadly boss mod in World of Warcraft "the giant is charging up a powerful attack, interrupt it with your Taunt ability" something along those lines.

Just a suggestion to make RoR a better experience for newcomers, teaching them the power of Detaunt, Taunt, and other mechancs we dont see in other pvp mmos.
