So I was just thinking about how the tutorial is laid out and how you want to get into multiplayer sooner. The current tutorial is great but here's what I think would also be awesome:
First, put a portal behind the player that says "Skip the Tutorial".
Make the Tutorial show everybody else in the tutorial but transparent like a used loot bag. This tells you there are other people in the game. Go through it, and then have two portals:
"Play the game!"
"Repeat with others!"
The second will bring you to a multiplayer Tutorial where the enemy structures have very high respawn rate (every 5 seconds sounds fair?)
Origin starts at Level 1 with 2 labs and 2 extractors that function normally, except you can drive on them to go to advanced tutorials.
When you enter Origin for the first time, it will point to each building and their functions: Lab 1 is global resonator buffs, Lab 2 is the individual buff system, Extractor 1 teaches Gridshards and Map Goals, and Extractor 2 teaches Crafting.
Also, there are arrows that point between the buildings that say "Just play the game!" Once you take these, when Origin starts to leave the drawn area of the screen, text will pop up in that corner saying "We'll always be here for you!"
Too much?
