Title: [N]First Impressions
Post by: NiGHTM4RE on August 15, 2010, 11:37:43 AM
Summary:
Suggestion #1:
*A little theme song playing while you are choosing your skin, logging in, etc. I suggest this, (you can hear the song in the cutscene/beginning of the video) I believe it will just bring a little more life in LW. Wouldn't hurt to have a small soundtrack in the beginning.GTA: San Andreas: 15 Home Invasion (PC) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zx8fOrDYyEQ#)


Suggestion #2:
*Many new players are confused and don't know what to do. I suggest you add text in the bottom of the screen like it shows in the video at 1:13. After they spawn it should say something like "Register so you can save kills, deaths, money, etc with /register." "Get to the bank." "Get to the ship." "Make your way to the racestart." "Visit the special shop." and so on and so fourth. Each location should be marked a specific color on their map. Details about a feature should not be shown in the chat box but in the bottom of the screen just big enough so they can see and read it but not bother their gameplay. This could also be a tutorial for new players in LW, this tutorial will not be boring as they are actually traveling to the LW features themselves and not sitting there getting bored.

The advantages of this being implemented:
*Sug. #1. New players may look at the server as more fun and exciting.
*Sug. #2. New players won't be so clueless and they will have a chance to see all these great features LW already has and why they should make cash other than just buy weapons. It would give them a reason to stay.

The disadvantages of this being implemented:
*Sug. #1. Can't think of any.
*Sug. #2. It may be a bit buggy at first.

yes very good suggestion I would say to make a house where you started and give for there to have some rounds where you come and say step by step how to register how to make money, the rules and then be another big circle where you can go out and start playing

Under 14 kids and babies play only stunt servers like gamerx.16+ play dm servers.lw should have a little stunt zone totally safe from fights.

lol, kids & babies??
Disable chat text directly aswell then!

anyway.
nr 1 - is a good suggestion.
nr 2 - I like aswell but I think there could also a text added that they get some sort of bonus for /register and not only save stats and stuff!
Also they should recieve an amount of cash for finishing the tutorial.(also they should know before accepting/rejecting the tutorial that they get a bonus.)
