    Thank you! I was just about to make a post about this. I keep getting kicked out of the tutorial because either I took too long to do an action or the timer went out and I lost?

    Why are they treating the tutorial, which is supposed to teach you the rules of the game(mind you not everyone learns quickly), like the real game, and they make you pay MGP and give you a time limit just to learn it?


    Is there something I missed?

    Yeah I went and tried the first tutorial and it was a TUTORIAL so why is it charging me 100MGP, only for me to fail because I ran out of time due to bad directions for controller use. I also got a phone call in the middle which used up some of my time but I didn't think a tutorial would fail just cause I waited too long, its supposed to just be a TUTORIAL SE.

    It pretty much ruined any first impressions of this mini game and I'm probably not gonna bother to touch it again.

    Exactly! I posted a thread about this yesterday thinking it was a bug when it told me I lost just because I was reading the explanations, but then I wasn't sure if it was a bug or intended. Horrible tutorial design. Timers are suppose to stop while you read explanations in tutorials. Seems like lazy design, like they were rushing and decided to just throw explanations over a non-tutorial model.

    Yeah, I did the tutorial and ran out of time. After that I just did not bother with Verminion at all and perhaps other's too since the Verminion area was rather empty and I'm in Gilgamesh!

    It's a tutorial. It should not have time limit (or increase it) and MGP cost.
