If you're drinking from the bowl instead of the tank, you've been doing it wrong. That's not boba tea.
It's been fun catching up on dozens of pages and finally figuring out why your avatar changed.
Hmmm, a tutorial map sounds nice, but we can't import a character into a different world and it would be annoying to invest time into Noobezgane just to have to start over on a real world.
I like this idea a lot better, but it would need to teleport you somewhere far away after completion. Sounds like a place for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥s to camp and attack noobs.

Geez I read it as South African too, and I'm not even American.
Guess the stupid's wide-spread now:strawberry:
I had a chance to see the cool video that unholyjoe took the time to make, thanks joe.
I wanted to know Madmole, have you considered planting the boxes into the ground?
You select the area that you want to place your farming plot.
Execute the placement.
The ground voxel changes into the farm plot.
1. This removes the need to gig up ground.
2. Also removes that ugly looking lip that forms between ground voxels and blocks.
Also this could work on a static ground as well.

I agree that it should be in the same game/world.
Path of Exile doesn’t have a big intrusive tutorial, but what they do is whenever a player completes an action, a tooltip shows on screen giving reference to the action they just performed. They can choose to read it and close it, just ignore it, just close it, or skip all tutorials and no more will appear. It’s nothing special but, imo, would work well in this game as long as it doesn’t impede gameplay, like blocking sight while trying to do something else. It needs to be discrete enough to achieve that, but draw enough attention to be helpful.

If difficulty did something besides simply adjust damage values this might be a good point. But as it is nothing aside from damage values are changed so at least for me and some others this doesn't really increase difficulty it just makes things take longer. Now if difficulty changed spawn amounts or food\thirst\stamina drain or anything else that might actually make the game a little harder to survive I could see this point but as it is spawn amounts and food\thirst\stamina drain are just as trivial on insane as they are on the easiest setting making the game far too easy still IMOturn up the difficulty, you have that option.when someone complains of too hard, quite a few people will jump at the opportunity to tell them to turn down the difficulty. so it goes both ways.
i tried to keep it in but i had to say it...
i wont argue either

What you carry with you. Which could be a lot.
Also, the starter quest would obviously limit you to what your quest allow you to make, so instead of starting in the world naked you would start with your plant fiber clothing, Stone axe, campfire, etc...
But yeh keeping your inventory is doable. It's just a player file... All tfp would have to do on their end is allow a "use player file from another save" option, which quite frankly, is a good idea anyway, and one I thought they were going with when they added the persistent profile option for servers.

Perfect.
Really, we have to have some sort of back story for why we wake up naked anyway, the starter world could be that story... We get all of that stuff for the trader and he robs us...

Yeah, seems like this could do away with small world complaints and open up a lot of fun stuff if we could link and travel between worlds.What you carry with you. Which could be a lot.

But it's my experience that ideas are not considered good unless the other person thinks of it first, or thinks that they thought of it first.
... What's funny about this, is that this has been discussed and found to be a good idea, I believe we were even told it was going to happen, but later. Meh, whatever.

I think farming is kind of beyond the scope of what a tutorial should cover. I know it's just spitballing based on the the whole hoegate thing and teaching new players to farm, but I'm surprised the survival crew and participation trophy crew isn't up in arms about the prospect of a tutorial that teaches so many mid- to late-game aspects. I like tutorials that just show me how to play to game, not how to win at it.
