Absolutely retarded tutorial

[The Legend Of Dolan]

I've never come across a game that simply does such a dogshite job of trying to tell you how to play the game.

Seriously, the one where you have to jump over 2 traps, but it can't reach more than that...what the ♥♥♥♥? Like you cannot complete the level. Complete nonsense.

[Jørgen]

Use jump and boots for movement. It is teaching the player the importance of items in this scenario 👍

I think it took 2-3 minutes to work it out
If you don't like it skip it

It's still a ♥♥♥♥♥ tutorial. What about the third scenario in which you have to find one magical hex wherein nobody can reach you to attack you even once? (Maybe it's the fourth scenario?)

Regardless, I'm not playing this game to "find the hidden hex", I wanted to play for tactical combat. This tutorial level seems impossible to solve, and that's straight up ridiculous. Nobody should ever have to say that about any tutorial level--

and I understand the mechanics just fine. I played the ♥♥♥♥ out of the board game, and I loved it. This digital tutorial is just plain idiotic.

Omfg... I solved it: my problem was that I thought the guards would be able to move over the barrel the same way the do treasure chests. It was not clear that the barrel was an obstacle, so that's something that should be highlighted in some way-- less ambiguity around what objects are obstructions and what objects are walk-over-able.

i agree completely...im having to look up how to get through the tutorial....

[Conalias]

Mmmm I guess you are part of the 5 percent of people that cannot figure how to deal with it. It means you should probably skip it, the game is not for you.

The game is relatively complex, but I think that the tutorial explains it well.

I mean...when you hover your cursor over the barrels it says Obstacle.

Agree that the tutorial is absolutely awful. If they called it puzzle tutorials it would make much more sense. A tutorial is meant to show you how something works, then you copy it with the aim to 'quickly' understand how a mechanic works. The fact that there are tons of comments stating Gloomhaven pc game has awful tutorials is very different where good games with tutorials are never complained about. If the devs can show us how their PC 'interpretation' of how they want the game to work, there wouldn't be a need for this discussion. In it's current state I'd say to my mates don't recommend or buy, stick to the physical board game.

LOL

[Mike Garrison]

LOL "stick to the physical board game" -- the physical board game that pretty famously had no tutorial at all? So much so that the game designer later created a whole new game (Jaws Of The Lion) to act as a tutorial for the original Gloomhaven?

i think this is more a case of "i dislike learning how stuff works",(with ironically, is the case of many) the Tutorials are quite eazy tbh, like you could calculate nearly everything in the tutorial, it does its job wel enough

Or just press the tab key to highlight everything?

How has no one noticed this to be a 11 month old necro with the thread being very shortlived in march 2021! :D

[SGForces]

Just coming in to say the tutorial is awful.
