			If you've already went through the tutorial missions we not give us the option to just skip them on the next toon you make? I want to make a Granok warrior but don't want to play those missions again.	
----
			
Skip you to level 3 and stick you onto Crimson Isle/Levian bay and Everstar Grove/Northern Wilds?
 
...
 
I like it. 
 
/support	
----
			Why? I can understand not wanting to repeat them but as most of the game is simply a repeated would those first 40 mintues really make that much of an impact over all?	
----
			
I'm not asking to skip Algoroc or something.
 
I just want to skip to the last section of the Destiny and/or whatever the Exile's ship is called and choose my ship to head down to the real starting zones.
 
I don't think I'm asking for much.
 
Maybe I am. 
I donno.	
----
			Well, it doesn't exactly take long to get off the ship.	
----
			
Fair, but when you make and remake characters as often as I do, saving Sadie's life and interrogating shifty citizens gets a little old after a while. 
 
But still, fair.	
----
			It was more why are people asking for it? How is it different from skipping later zones? It is still part of the leveling experience and I am not sure what that extra 40 minutes is really going to achieve in the long run.	
----
			I've done the Crimson Isle zone at least 15 times now and I wouldn't expect there to be a skip option just because I decided to do that :P Your still leveling on the ship, and its a zone in itself.	
----
			
Oh, no, I'm not asking to skip Crimson Isle or go all the way to Thayd/Illium.
 
Just to the end of the actual tutorial, your faction's Arkship.
 
[Character created]
 
[Do you want to skip the tutorial? Y/N]
 
[Choose your starting zone: Everstar/Wilds or Crimson Isle/Levian Bay]
 
But, like you said, that forty minutes or so isn't much, so maybe I'm just being a baby about it.	
----
			I can honestly say I don't think it even takes me 40 min to run through it after doing it so many times :) canceling the cut scenes.

WoW ... it just takes what 10 to 15 minutes to do ... that is just lazy. Do it and move on, there is way more important things for them to be working on.
 
Thanks

Agreeing with above posters. If it is taking you 40min+ to get off the ship you are doing something horribly wrong.
15min sounds about right.
From ship to off 1st starting island is levels 1-6 (normally). It might take 40min for that.
 
If you have already seen the cut scene hit ESC to skip over them, all of them.	
----
			I have created my share of characters (Deleting lvl 20 char coz of hair color = no problem for me) and honestly, I do not mind the ship nor the daily zone (actually I do mind the daily zone, but I don't mind the low level version of it). You get through it so fast that it is hardly noticeable. I actually enjoy getting through these because everything is so fast. Granted, I felt few times that it would be nice to get your starting weapon a little bit sooner to test attack animation, but that's about it.

			I personally enjoy doing the tutorial level. Usually when I'm doing it, I'm trying out a new class so having easy enemies helps me get the feel for the class. The only problem I have with the tutorial is the cutscenes. They become a bit tedious after awhile so being able to skip them, or at least the very first one, would be nice.	
----
			
It's not really a tutorial.  It's an introduction.
 
And it takes about 10 minutes to complete.  10 minutes out of the entire trip to 50 is hardly significant.

You can. Just hit escape.

			There's really no difference between skipping this, and skipping any other zone... This would just be silly.

Yeah, on the one hand I understand your view on the other ... it only takes 23mins max for Dominion side to go through the tutorial and 15mins max Exile side to do the same.  If you can't afford 15-23mins to get to level 3 making an alt then, I don't know what to tell you other than you are in the camp of people today with no patience and "must have things" your way.
 
Seriously ... it's 15-23mins.  Why is that miniscule time so hard to go through? * double Pickard face palm * :P	
----
			
hahahahaha.... that request...
 
I want to start an alt, but those 30first min of leveling keeps me from doing it. I'm fine with the 48hour of gametime after that tho. pfffff :P

			So is Celestion, Algoroc, Galeras, Whitevale.......	
----
			It only takes a few minutes. Once you've been through it a few times you can basically do it on cruise control because you know what you have to do, and where everything is. I don't think an option to skip is necessary at all.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Having done them several times, yeah, I really must agree. I mean make them do it the first time but aside from path missions  the tutorial is identical for every toon on  a particular faction.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
and I have done the other zones several times, I don't expect them to give me skip options for things I've done X amount of times, the ship is also still a zone.
----
			
This has definitely been heard. We don't agree that it's the same as skipping any other zone -- the Arkship is something folks should experience, but it is, at the heart of it, a tutorial introduction to the game. Additionally, the XP in there is carefully metered out as you progress and is an exact amount (unlike any other zone experience, where it's dependent on what you do, how much you kill, etc.)
 
An option to skip may not be necessary, but it's a nice quality-of-life change that can allow you to hit the ground running on your alts, and that's not a bad thing. :)

Thank you for weighing in on the issue. I can't speak for everyone, but I personally believe this is a quality of life adjustment that is probably on the lower end of the importance scale. Would love to see a skip tutorial button installed, but not until so many other QoL adjustments have been made.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
This is far from the only QoL change we've got brewing, and we've got many teams focused on a variety of 'em.
----
			
I approve for a skipping option of the Arkship tutorials. People who are not "lazy" can just not press the button and run it again. But I bet they too will use the skipping option. QoL improvements works like that.
