"not available"
« on: January 17, 2017, 11:09:28 PM »
Noobs start out in the tower and if they find the help button (which needs to be more obvious, btw.  make it flash or red in color.) they will see that help is "not available".  The help button works in the hangar but if a noob hits the help button in the tower, they may figure there is no help.

The new help system is all web paged based. All the links from the game to the pages have been implemented, we are currently working on all the help content. A release is not required as we add help content.

But he is in the tower. That's why the tower help menu popped up.

Dobs you seem to not understand the the help page for the tower is being written.

There are many many places you hit help that say it is not available. It simply a page filler to not have a 404 error.

Being that the tower is likely the first place that a new person would hit the help button, maybe make it say "Tower help page under construction".

My point is that if they try help once and it says "not available", they may not try it again anywhere else, figuring there is no help.

With on of those old barricade images from the old days.  Maybe add a modern gif with a worker leaning on the barricade eating popcorn.  :D

Road workers are more likely to be holding a breakfast barrito where I come from. Guess it's a regional thing?

I want so bad to make a joke about construction workers in Texas but for life of me I can't without offending people or getting rule #d...

Maybe a pic of a computer screen with a couple of bullet holes in it with a caption of...we are working on it....

Couldn't find the picture of one guy working, encircled by about 10 dudes watching.  They all had fancy job titles written above them, except the guy with the shovel, which just said, "Manuel".  The caption read: "if the recession gets any worse, we may have to lay off Manuel".

then people would complain that it should be changed to "help available from hangar".
