Here's today's teaser! As mentioned before, one of the things we want to have when we return is an overhauled character creation/new player experience. To that end, instead of the traditional character creation, new players will be presented with a list of classes to choose from, more like a traditional RPG experience, which contain a preset build and a skill plan. Characters made with presets will have access to features intended to onboard them more easily, like character-locked guaranteed skillbook scrounge spots and a tutorial guiding them through the world. They will also be restricted from learning skills outside their skill plan until it's completed. You can select a preset and customize it, or just go directly into advanced character creation if you already know what you're doing; but new accounts with no existing characters will be required to choose a class for their first character, to minimize newbie mistakes that undermine the experience. Here's a preview of what this looks like!
