We definitely have tutorials and trial accounts planned but it'll be a bit out, I'm sure the community will be posting and writing a ton about the public alpha so you don't do any mistakes as a first timer, but I guess if you're going in blind use your lowest stat creatures first. ^^
That said, it'll be quite easy to understand in the game, the "side-effects" of not training creatures the "hard" way won't be as punishing compared to how rewarding it'll be to go the hard route since the weighted odds for stats will be on the low end starting out anyway - i.e. most creatures will have green to blue rarity stats early on. I'll be shocked if we see a max stat level 1 creature being pulled from the alpha vials!
Wouldn't that be awesome though!
Sounds good! Thanks for addressing my questions. I don't feel like I have ever played a game quite like this one before, so I am excited to give it a shot.
