Okay, this is becoming an issue.

Newbies want to play the Unread Will as their first case. They are adamant about it for some reason. And nine times out of ten, they come into bar chat asking for help on a case they cannot complete, because they have neither the skills nor the Sleuth-developed brain to figure it out.

My suggestion: we put an experience minimum on the case. 1000 exp before you can even open it? Something in that ball park.

I know the case is available to unsubbed detectives to show them the joy of being subscribed, but I do not think it is a good idea to have it open to detectives who have not even played a few cases (or even the tutorial, for that matter), causing many newbies to struggle with a case they obviously cannot handle.

I think a minimum experience level would help a lot. It prevents people with no experience diving into something too hard and then getting discouraged enough to never come back. Plus it give the newbies a goal that is not too hard to achieve while also giving them valuable experience in solving cases in general. With a short/easy goal, people would be more willing to come back day after day to reach that level to open something 'new'.

I have 810 experince right now and solved the unread will case with about 400 ex I think. I think 1000 ex pts might be to high as a requirement, maybe it could be 400 or 500 pts instead.

Change the front page. I dashed right into the unread will on my first time on as it was top left, first thing I saw. The tutorial was bottom right, a little more hidden. And the whole choosing the random mystery I missed! I don't think minimum xp's are the way to go. part of the fun or frustration of them is not nowing where it all went wrong... must try again....

i dont think they should have minimum exp and maximum exp because sometimes i want to do really hard mysteries and sometimes i want to do begginer mysteries.

IS THAT TO MUCH ASK OF SOMEONE!?!

I like Jojo's sugestion because sometimes if you have just started playing then it might be taking on too much too soon.

I don't think its necessary to yell creature.

The suggestion isn't to keep people from challenging themselves, its to keep people from getting frustrated in the very beginning, think the game is too difficult, and then leave without giving the game a fair shot.
