The loading screen is a great way to teach important information that people might otherwise miss. Here are a few misunderstood concepts I've run into myself or seen on the forums:
— Crown and heat distribution in parties.
— Reward scaling increases within a tier, then resets for the next one. People would naturally expect depth 9 to be more lucrative than depth 7, for instance.
— I've heard conflicting information on whether or not the number of material drops scales with party size. If it does, that would make a nice tip.

Any other suggestions? What misconceptions and frequently-asked questions do you run across?

The wiki is nice, but not

The wiki is nice, but not everyone will check that sadly . . .

The Loading Screen is used constantly and is seen by everyone that plays, so I agree with the Tips on Loading Screen

How to drop items is

How to drop items is something I had to figure out by myself after hearing people talk about it. Would have been nice to learn it via the loading screen.

Found a few more

— What happens to heat when you die/revive.
— "Unlocked" tiers for each gate and crown costs to start at lower depths.
— Vendor inventories are per-player in town and the same for all party members in the clockworks.

— Mist energy refills every 22 hours. I've seen some people that (quite naturally) assumed it was every 24.

This will be incredibly useful. Stuff like "You can revive your friends for no energy." and "Crystal Energy can be bought with Crowns in the market." are not obvious enough.
