Most of you must have noticed there is no introduction to Lockdown (neither to Blast Network). Nothing explains you the rules, how you make points or what each class does; you have to find out by yourself (usually dying in the process)
Do you guys think there should be something like a tutorial or at least a NPC explaining how stuff works for noobs?
Leave your ideas on how Lockdown and Blast Network should be introduced to new players.

There was a forum thread about this, a few months ago? It was called "Lockdown for Dummies", I think.

That was more of a
That was more of a tip/gameplay. I think what was really needed is a tutorial. Have the new knight spawn in a random map, and a conversation styled tutorial. Starting in the locker with the different classes, past the hearts, past the forcefield, and taught how control points worked.

?
Isn't there some kind of ingame popup?
In the locker room, theres that screen with a padlock that looks like it's supposed to be a class changer? That has some sort of description for lockdown.
Though its detail is something I'm unsure of. I don't know how far it explains the game.

That was a compendium of tips on the forums though. [ http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/25687 ] He's talking about an actual tutorial in-game.
I'd freaking love such a thing. Added stipulation of it being mandatory before you play your first game. Maybe people would play it like Control Point instead of Team Death Match. I'm sick of everyone rushing to their deaths with no coordination. It's half the reason I don't play LD much.

Yes please! The one and only time I did LD, I had no clue what I was doing and basically just tagged along with the other people in my party. They were saying things like '2!', '3!', and it wasn't until later that I realized they were talking about bases. Dx
That said, I don't know how useful a thing like this would be. The starting area tutorial wasn't too useful to me, and it wasn't until I did T1 a couple of times and I really got the hang of it. LD isn't that complicated, you could just play a couple of games and realize what to do, I think.
Yes.
