It Would be Nice If Duty Mechanics are Explained by In-Game Tool-tips

[Shibi]

I can certainly understand what the OP is saying. It's easy to say "just learn by doing it!" or "trial and error!" but when you're running content that's more than a couple hours old there's often an immediate expectation that everyone already knows everything and sometimes there isn't room for "trial and error." Even in the most hardcore content if it's more than a week old there are many people who just don't accept trial and error. Idiots are going to idiot, but Square could do more to ease the learning process.

That said, I'm not really sure a pop up or tool tip is the right way to handle it. Ideally I would like to see a more active tutorial system like an expansion of the Hall of the Novice.

Thank you for saying that, and I like the idea of a halls of novice for each mechanic. As a healer when I die, everyone dies, so the pressure feels greater. A wipe is ok, with a gracious party, less so though when one earns their own post in "tales from the duty finder" as "I just had a run with the worst AST ever".

I watch youtubes before a new instance which helps, I try to get my squadron through it so I can get a feel for the area, but a Hall of the Novice encounter that one could play to see the new markers and learn how to get through them would be so amazingly awesome.
