So we're getting a mentor system and the training hall

[Aldora]

I wonder how exactly the mentoring system will work other than pairing up expert players with newbies (isn't that what the DF sort of is now?) I'm willing to help others, but I'm afraid other people will only do it for the shinies and might belittle newbies who aren't getting things right.


Even though I'm far from a newbie, I'll check out the training hall myself just to see how it is. Might be interesting!

They actually had this to say about “The Hall of the Novice” and “The Mentor System” features within the “Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXVI Q&A Update Thread”:

Patch 3.2 Content Part 5

The Hall of the Novice

Players will be able to train in two ways; training which doesn’t involve roles, and training for each role. Training which doesn’t involve roles will be available right before entering Sastasha which involved dodging area of effect attacks. After this players will be able to start training for each roles which has about seven tasks each. There is also something like a graduation, and players will be rewarded with gear when completing it. There will be a specific building for this. There will be explanation for terms such as “DoTs”.

Patch 3.2 Content Part 6

The Mentor System (Tentative)

This system will allow veteran players to be called “Mentors” for Disciple of War/Magic and also Disciples of the Land and Hand. Once players become a “Mentor” they will be able to use a system which will help new adventurers. This is basically a system where people can help out. Players will be able to use features such as a roulette called the “Mentor Roulette.”

Apparently they want to introduce a Mentor system for all available Disciples, including the Disciples of the Land and Hand. Hmmm, that’s interesting.

It also mentions "becoming" a Mentor, which means it's probably not something everyone and their granny can just queue up for. Maybe a commendation requirement?
