So I recently learned that the tutorial games now run at 4x speed. This isn't that great.
It's the first game that most new players will play and it gives many of them the impression that the speed its at is the standard speed of this game. Then they go on to join normal games, get weirded out by everything going so slow and then leave, leading to a huge inactivity epidemy accross public games.
I get that the pace of this game isn't for everyone - it was made before mobile gaming was a market and to not be looked at constantly, but occasionally. New players shouldn't be misled about this fundamental aspect of the game. If the tutorial is supposed to teach them the game basics, how much more basic than the passage of time can you get?
