Tutorial Awards

    Great to see other players joining the conversation with more information!


    And mmmcheesywaffles, there should be a message waiting for you in your Forum conversations box. Someone had also left you a link on your wall regarding Classic scenario tutorial tasks.



    Summary from previous comments

    • Tutorials are balanced. Some differences appear depending on scenario.
    • Classic scenario has a HQ task difference depending on pc / app version. Tasks + awards are still balanced. Changes are coming with the new client / user interface, but I will froward wishes from this thread, naturally. Even if tutorials will stay as they are.
    • Request to see a complete and updated list of all tasks + rewards from all scenarios, pc and app could not be answered, as I do not have the necessary info or the time to make one now - I would need to go through every tutorial and collect the information by hand. Best option is to use the tutorials, get the rewards and contact game support if no reward was given.. Support is able to see if there's been a skipped step for example, or is everything working as expected.
    • Tutorial tasks are not randomized and previous decisions by player will not change the outcome of future tasks (except for being finished and rewarded later)

    For the Classic (Browser) tutorial & tasks:
    http://bit.do/RNTutC


    Personally, I prefer the old-style browser tasks and will miss them when we change to the new system.


    For reference, I've posted the SoE tasks as they were when I last played an SoE server (which means they may have changed, so I apologize if it's not up to date). Remember that the Classic tasks on mobile would be missing SoE-only stuff, which should just remove tasks 51 through 60.

    I disagree strongly that rewards are balanced when I have yet to be offered any evidence of such balance. This game is full of apparent imbalances. However, most appear to be incentives for progression in teh game. I am not ware of any other imbalance based upon what appears to be the abitrary decision to give advantage to an App user over a Browser user. Even now you appear to avoid saying HOW the App and Browser versions are balanced.


    Again you say changes are coming but I want to hear that those changes will include proper consideration of the damaging effect teh lack of HQ voucher has on both the playability of the Pre- Registered game and upon the nurturing of newbies who may not be able to generate the funds fast enough for their team mates. RN needs to consider that HQ investments are locked to teh players and cannot be helped by team mates.


    By the time we raise an issue with support it is too late, if the player has made an incorrect choice, rather than an error in the award process.


    A players decision will indeed change the outcome if we adopt the wrong tutorial or prefer to use a Broswer rather than an App. So in external oterwise irrelevant decision is allowed to impact upon internal gameplay.


    But I thank you for your reply Samisu.


    I have never heard of a 'Forum conversations Box' or 'wall'. I have no idea where those are. There are no obvious links to either on the Forum page I can see.

    Click on your name (top right). There you can find both: at 'my profile' is the "wall" and 'messages' is what samisu discribes as 'forum conversation box'

    I'm not satisfied:


    - RN does not explain how tutorials are balanced.
    - RN does not explain why Browser-users are discriminated against in favour of App-users.
    - RN should give Browser-users a HQ-voucher to be fair, now that would be balanced!


    I expect a proper answer this time. The answers that have been given have a strong 'Huckabee-Sanders' feel about it, i.e. a lot of text, but not giving real answers.


    RN, treat your players with respect please! This is not the way.

    I'm sorry if my comments made you feel anything but respected, and I would like to ask this thread to be kept civil and courteous, please.


    I'm here to answer to the best of my ability with the information I have at the time. Some of my comments may sound belittling, but please remember that I'm here to answer to everyone reading the thread, no matter their experience level with the game. My imperfect answers do not mean that your thoughts and feedback hasn't been heard or you aren't respected. Quite the opposite. Some conversations can also be best moved to private channels, as we have done here.


    The conversation continues, new UI is on it's way to Classic, and until then the browser version of the Classic tutorial differs from App tutorial. Some previous comments in this thread explain the differences and tasks. All I know is, the tasks and rewards have been designed to be balanced. Should the HQ coupon be added as an extra gift to browser players until the UI change, or would that create imbalance - that's not a thing I can comment on as it is not my decision to make. The wish has been heard though.


    I will get back to you if or when I hear anything new, and have a lovely Sunday choo-choo!

    Thanks Samisu.


    I know from personal experience a job like yours is often thankless.


    It is especially difficult when things go badly wrong and all teh staff get exhausted from the frustrations of seing theirs or colleagues efforts go to ruin. [Masters debacle] After all your livlihood depends upon a successful game, nobody wants a mess.


    I think it is fair now that we wait and see what decisions are made, without adding to the pressures. Clearly teh RN team has a lot of prioritising to handle. I just hope they will act on this particular issue quickly before it damges this round in these servers that have recently started.

    So let me get this straight.


    If you pre-reg you get free HQ donations untill any level,if you have to pay 7.5 million that means lvl 14 ; more then 20 million per donating player in free HQ levels.



    That doesn't make any sense.Why would a novice player set back over 20 million just because he didn't start one round earlier?


    What happend to the good old "new round new chances" model?

    No, you get a HQ voucher with the new tutorial ( no matter if pre registered or not).
    New tutorial is on SoE- and US-scenario server (no matter if you start at PC or mobile)
    New tutorial is also on classic if you start the server (first registration) with the APP. When you start classic with browser you will have the old tutorial which does not have a HQ voucher

    Ah i thought you guys said you could register with a nearly filled asso without paying for it.


    That is what i understand when someone says


    "However, with Pre-Reg teh HQ Award is a vital award to get in the first stages when most players will still be counting their daily profits in k' rather than M's, and a good sized Assoc will enter the game with HQ fees around 7M".



    I was about to suggest to fix this bug easily by completely removing the HQ donation from all tutorials if the difference between a novice and a alumni is 27 mil but i misunderstood.

    Pre-registration DOES allow you to skip the cost of upgrading the HQ, to as many spots as are pre-registered. So if you have all 25 members pre-regiser, then you come into the new round with a level 15 association and no need to upgrade the HQ at all -- therefore no need to spend cash to upgrade it (and that saves more than 27 mil for anyone who would've donated to every upgrade).


    What the poster meant by what you quoted is that the HQ voucher is vital because most associations don't end up with all 25 spots pre-registered. This means they're stuck in Era 1 trying to expand, having to pay much higher HQ fees than what would be seen with a brand new association. The HQ voucher allows them to avoid those high fees to open up new spots for people to join after the first 3 days of the server.

    Can i ask is there any way to skip Lucy's tasks they are so annoying each round when you have done them round after round sure their should be a way to skip them the same way you can skip William's. The tasks are helpful for newbies but are not required by seasoned players who know how to set schedules and upgrade building etc.

    You can just ignore the icon, but why would you? You get all sorts of goodies and enough gold to get a plus account and starter package. I've played over 70 rounds and complete the tasks every time.


    Are you wanting to automatically receive all the awards, resulting in having requisite conditions instantly achieved? That would mean owning x amount of engines, having station buildings at elevated levels, tracks laid, & so on.


    Maybe I am misunderstanding your question.

    you get 60 gold only by initial tutorial.

    plus account = 150 gold


    I play Broway Express, Europe Scenario, Classic, Classic Express and i never had enough gold from a tutorial to buy a plus account and starter pack.

    if i wish these two items, i buy gold at gold shop.


    it is good to do the tutorial because the first time you give money to the worker, it gives you a ticket for company donation!
