Personal Trainers List

Postby Gorton » 18 Nov 2013, 20:48

Is it possible to place a button saying "Find a Personal Trainer" with a link to the trainers list in the forum?

Yes we need this feature, it will help retain loads of new players. New players may not be aware of the forums, so they wont know about the trainers. By adding this feature then they will be less driven away from the game when they just start and they run into that wall of 20 losses when they just start.

You know how ignorant players are on faf, the likely hood of them pressing that tab is very low, they need a massive button in their face for them to press it

Then you can say the same for any function.
Putting too many buttons "on front" is a good as putting none. It's start to be a clusterfuck quite fast.

If they don't go in the tutorial tab when they want to learn the game, it's very unlikely that they want a trainer.

it can become quite clustered, but a trainer button could have a huge impact, it's not like you're adding 5 buttons, but just 1, and also you're assuming they don't want to be trained.

To be honest, those who dont manage to find out about the personal trainers stuff are probably not realy motivated in beein trained either which is a pain for the trainers.
I vote for keep it a very little bit hidden :geek:

How can actively search for something you don't know exists, i agree that whoever wants help needs to ask, but it can be made easier by creating a pm trainer button, or maybe something even simpler, first time the faf client is launched a little popup that says something like "new to faf, no experience, go to this link to learn about trainers etc..."

So what? There is a "Tutorials" Tab. Once you klick it, you already see the blue highlighted Link "Your Personal Trainer Team".

I dont know about you, but I dont think its too complicated at all. Players who dont manage it to find that out themself are those who I dont wanne to PM me about training.
