Teach Soul Points

Basically rn in the game there is no point where the game teaches you about soul points, what they are, how they work, and what happens when you lose them.

In the beginning of the game (Tutorial) Have a section where the player is taught about soul points. I have seen countless noobs rage quit from facetanking mobs on the emerald trail. die repeatedly and lose their stuff then quit. This issue is the games fault. The game does not teach about soul points in any quest, NPC, or lore area.

My suggestion is to simply explain what they are and how to use them

 

How? Random NPC talking? Many will miss it, doesn't fit that well into tight playthrough of the quest (you are told what to do all the time, no exploration)

Btw what else needs to be taught properly:
- powders
- some IDs
- professions (NOT in King's Recruit)
propably more stuff

 

I think instead of a quest teaching the player about Soul Points, I think there should just be a random NPC in Ragni, and plus, you kind of know how Soul Points work if you hover over the icon in your inventory.

Elemental Exercise kind of needs a rework to teach the player about Elements in a better way.

 

Maybe when you die the title that displays and the message sent is change to mention checking their drop %s. I don't know how to exactly phrase it, but the ct is much more creative than me so I'm sure they can. I also highly doubt it will get annoying to experienced players since it only happens when you die and displays for a short time.

 

Maybe during Kngs Recruit, a '???' character will explain soul points to you in small caps as a reference to Death. It could be in the tunnel where you see some character die, (maybe another person with a name along with Aledar and Tasim), and then Death explains everything to you.

 

Im not sure how it should be taught, but it needs to be taught anyways. A core game mechanic should NOT be reliant on the players to teach others. That should be taught by the game itself. Why not litteraly tell them what they do without "fitting it in the quest" Its a game mechanic its not even lore related.

 

This sounds like it'd be the easiest to do and be noticeable for players who don't bother to learn soulpoints

 

That's an interesting idea. I could see it working. I fully support this, players need to be taught about soul points xD

 

Ok, image doing the tutorial as usual as suddenly a random npc spawns before you and tells you "soul pointsnare really important, you will drop items when you are at 5 soul points or less" weird, right?

 

There is already the spell casting appearing really big in the middle of the screen for low levels, after a certain lvl it moves to above the hotbar.
Seems possible?

Also cool idea.

 

maybe instead during that one section where there's mobs chasing you, it'll force the player to die

 

@Saya holy shit the revolution.

 

People didn't listen to me ;;

 

Cook Assistant! Cook Assistant! Cook Assistant!
No, seriously, Cook Assistant, like, why isn't it already this?

 

Cook Assistant could be great intro into professions. (assuming they would state it is voluntary of course)

 

since NPC tips will probably be ignored/missed, how about those tips that show up in chat occasionally?
like uh,

[Tip] Do you see that blue item on the very right of your hotbar? Those are your soul points! You lose them every time you die/use a scroll, and if you die with a low amount of soul points, you'll lose more items, so be careful! They also regenerate every time the sun rises.



soul points are kind of a hhhh system anyways imo

also hhhhh chat tips will be ignored too

 

But it already is...
All quest are.

 

That professions are not necessary
