Implemented [Quests] Skip the Tutorial?

[DeletedUser53]

I've been playing on Beta for a while and have now accepted the invitation to play in World 1. I don't think I need to go through the tutorial again.
Is there any way to skip it?

Hi Elderflower, welcome to the forum

At the moment there is no way to skip the tutorial. Although the tutorial only takes a few minutes to complete, and does contain useful information, I quite understand that when doing it for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th... time, it would start to feel somewhat unnecessary! Please feel free to make a thread in our Ideas and Suggestions section about this. Or you prefer, we can simply move this thread there

You are right. I should have posted this in Ideas and Suggestions. Please fell free to move it. I am not sure how to do that myself.

Consider it done

It's not possible for members to move posts or threads themselves, but please always feel free to ask a moderator to do so if your post needs moving.​

So, would you like to have the ability to skip the tutorial? Please let us know your views

Whilst I do understand that it can be frustrating for experienced players who are starting a new world to complete the tutorial again and again, it is likely that if this was allowed then there is a possibility that numerous players (even those who are new to Elvenar) would take in order to skip the tutorial. This could leave both the forum and support team with a significant number of newer players who don't understand the basics of the game and would need this to be explained to them. So, for me the difference between the tutorial and no tutorial could be the difference in enjoying the game or being completely lost.

For the reasons that Hippocratia has noted, I could only support introducing the option to skip the tutorial if the devs can find a way to only allow it for those that have already completed the tutorial on another world. I wouldn't expect them to check across different language markets, but I think players could live with having to do the tutorial once per market.

My thoughs exactly!
So I would just say that the downsides of having a skip tutorial option would overcome the benefits, imo. Yes, it can be a bit of a boring for those who have already a good knowledge of Elvenar, but we should consider that a great deal of players on future non english servers will be playing Elvenar for the first time and they would probably be tempted to skip tutorial, only to find out later they actually needed it.
A possible way would be to have the option of skiping tutorial, but also the chance to returning to it (it's seen on several games). However considering the Elvenar tutorial is indeed the first steps of the game, where you also get to know the first characters, which makes the links to subsequent quests and not just a how to do stuff nor a separate chapter, don't think it would be possible to add a returning to tutorial option. That said, can´t support this idea.

I agree with Hippo and Aspirina. I think it wold have been slightly different if our accounts were linked between various worlds; then the game could have detected if we've already played before (either the Beta, or playing on EN 1 when another world is launched etc) and given us the option if we have, to skip the tutorial.

As of the update to 0.24 it is no longer necessary to complete the tutorial on the second or subsequent world on the same language version of the game. I'm therefore marking this idea as implemented, though you will still need to complete the tutorial when you first start playing on different language version/server from your original one

Great. Thanks for that.
