New tutorial super bugged

Athan1

I made a new char just to experience the new tutorial, and just 5min in it's low key unplayable for me. How did the new tutorial make it past beta-testing?

First off, the new character creation screen is bugged. They put a stone under the character's feet so when you rotate the character they are literally bumping up and down having a literal spasm. I've made a bug-report about it a few updates back but nothing.

I wake up in the prison and the game was bugged, I couldn't interact with Norianwe, I had to relog. Currently doing the combat training phase, the character can't heavy attack or interrupt, the buttons just don't work and the character can't move (I'm not talking about the stun, the character is literally frozen and irresponsible to input). What is this??

Just to be clear, I'm an experienced player with >1.5k hours of gameplay playing on a high-spec computer. I just think that this embarrassing for the tutorial and will drive away new players if no-one cares to fix these simple things.

Make a bug report?

I've done the new tutorial on different characters at least four times and had no issues at all.

I have run the new Blackwood tutorial 8 times, four times during testing on PTS (as first loaded, then after patches) and four times since Blackwood went "live." All 8 times I never had any problems with "bugs" in the tutorial, certainly nothing like you are describing. Were you monitoring "Latency" during the tutorial? What you describe sounds like classic "lag" (delays or interruptions in communications between your local "client" and the game server).

This may be an isolated issue with interaction, unless others have reported the same. I have also done this new tutorial multiple times and haven't had any issues in speaking with the NPC or getting suck on any rocks, although the combat sequence is a bit rough.

I did notice I was limited in my movement and had some issues with my controller as it wanted to 'look' in a specific angle and I was fighting with it for the angle I wanted (I use gamepad mode on PC). The gamepad sticks and I were in a battle of the wills. Seemed to be on a strange force lock position at times. It is hard enough seeing with half of the screen blocked in gamepad mode with that blue halo so fighting to visually see dead center took more focus then the actual combat itself. I recommend taking out that blue halo and releasing any 'lock' there may be in this sequence, as for me it interferes with my controller and movement stick button and where I want to visually look. I am glad I am not a 'new' player and actually trying to learn from this as my entire focus was controlling my visual and not paying attention at all on what I was 'supposed' to be doing as I already know. First of all, I do not see the point to it. Why is it there? You already know you are in a combat training as the NPC tells you this. Why impair the brand new player and their field of vision? They have enough to learn and manage without having to battle their field of view in the process.

What platform are you on and do you play with a controller?
