HUD Progressive reduction, an alternative?

I say thrown straight into the deep end with the pro players, if is war they want give them war. :smiley: Why hold their hand when every other game do the same, shock them with story and some good matches, no one will expect to be the best player in the first match. Throw them in a game with even teams, so they will see how they need to play and learn from others example, not from *plink “Hint: press mouse 1 to shoot”
The question is not how much of this/that/all/pro/pub/etc., but rather “What kind of players do you hope to make with your game?”
Provide them with the means to improve, learn, master, teach, but do not pat them on the back when they fall, challenge them to do better. Show them how great they can become, not how great they are in the first matches.
Or make them chose between 1000 gold coins and 1 ticket, either use the ticket to go thru a 10 hour competition “hell” journey and keep the gold or use the gold coins to buy yourself a way out and keep the ticket :D. “Thru Hell and Back” achievement for those who chose the 10 hour ride, “Out of Harm’s Way Ticket” achievement for those who chose to skip it. Everybody’s Happy :smiley:

Because we want them to stick around and our games are notoriously difficult to get to grips with for newcomers.
