[Feedback] Campaign sucks -> Need better tutorial/guiding

First of all: I find it very strange, that there is a campaign mode, where you are about to loose and start over and over again. This is a strange concept and I dont like it very much (because it gets boring).

But I understand, that it differers and I tried to do the best out of it and tried not to loose. The key to this is the Offworld Market, because its just OP. So in the first round I had it in the perks, but I had not $120. Then I won the first game but the perk was gone - so I could not buy it. But an AI had it then.

Maybe I am doing something wrong here. But this is the problem - I dont get it? Because there is no explanation and no guiding. I am usually not the one giving up so quickly. But I know there are many people that will give up because of loosing all the time and not knowing what to do/ how to improve.

So I am suggesting that you invest more time in the guiding and tutorial of the game. Involve the player and help him to win. Or at least give the players some hints. I love the Blizzard games - they are very competitive but they always try to get even the most casual player into the game. They are great at it and I think games like SC2 (or also the Heros beta) are very good examples on how to guide and help even unskilled/casual players so they love the game.

I dont want to whine. I am just suggesting a better tutorial and/or a more intuitive way things are connected to each other (like why the heck do the perks change after each match in campagin).

Hope you get my point :)

{Maybe you can also clarify, how this perk thing in campaig works. Why is there a thing in the first round and gets replaced in the second ...}

1) If you don't choose some perk to fight for, then these will be fought by other AIs, so you have to prioritize, which is most important for you. Basically, the options are all for this round only, and next round there will be new options.

2) Also there are other ways to win other than offworld, you can check out I have a campaign playthrough going on on youtube where I play with Scavenger at CEO difficulty, maybe get some ideas about other strategies too. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNHHNBvsJJWodylrEZ7OiDUp7EDXXP3qI (0 offworlds, promise)

3) I agree, campaign should be more about story + guide/tutorial, but Soren said in stream that this is currently the least developed part of the game, so I guess they are still planning to do more with it.

Thank you for the feedback!

Out of anything that is currently in the game, the tutorial and the campaign are the ones that are going to change the most.

Thanks again!
