Challenge Tutorial Idea

[law.9410]

My idea is to add an NPC to the mists that gives you optional challenges to complete. The goal of these challenges would be to help newer players move past that WTF is happening phase (which probably drives a lot of people away), and also teach more veteran players things like efficiency, matchups, and hand eye coordination. There could also be a reward for finishing "tiers" of the challenges to encourage new players to do them. The NPC would have a long list of challenges to complete (divided into subcategories) and upon choosing an option, the player would be teleported to an arena instance with only themselves and a enemy NPC. For training purposes, the enemy's attacks would do only 1 damage.

Challenges could include things like:
-Dodge X infil strikes / Hunter's shot/ bull's charge / dark path / shockwave / vault etc... in a row (enemy AI would use entire moveset of course)-interupt X heals in a row (valid for most classes)The spacing would have to be tailored in a way that you can't dodge everything but you have enough to dodge the required abilities.

Long term, there could also be an advanced section where the AI would use longer combos like:-fresh air ele knocks you down and does a random mixup-Rev shadows steps to you and does a random mixup-AI spews profanity and you must sucessfully block them within X millisecondsJK but you get the idea...

inb4 that's what duel rooms are for....ya fighting games should just remove training mode amirite?
