Since the splash screen did not explain the game, perhaps there should be a video.

NDA combo breaker aside...
From the dev's perspective, this is actually quite interesting.
Without knowing it, this guy is performing a think aloud usabilty test.

He doesn't know what he's supposed to do.
He doesn't quite get the PvP aspect, and is concerned about where he gets quests from.
Discovers classes by clicking through each one.
He clearly doesn't get that everyone he has seen in the Warpgate is on his side, or he just doesn't care.
He wants to try out all his weapons straight away, even if it means team killing to do so.

Of course, the most pressing feedback should be how to solve the problem of what to do about bell ends who, within their first ten minutes will immediately team-kill, kill-steal and fire at Gal's because they haven't been picked up.

Definitely need a weapon lock in the WG though.

To add on to surgeonX the guy doesen't know the playstyles of each faction either when selecting his side. but it is exactly what needs to be discussed.

what features are in place to help new people pick up the game and help create massive battles.

Yeah, good point.

Watching this idiot play bring me sadness and fear for the upcoming launch. What you saw will probably represent a massive portion of the player base. Clueless, disrespectful, TKers... It's the nature of F2P.

And EU players wonder why they weren't invited.

Only intelligent post in this thread.

Goes to show how much VR is needed to get new players feet wet, and how unintuitive the new player experience is currently.

Hopefully they are willing to polish it up through beta so that we don't end up with old EvE's NPE.

Sounds like this guy should have been swallowed by his mom before he became a problem.

All I could think of when I watched it was how gigantic an ass the guy was, but you know what? You're right.

This guy, not knowing what an NDA is aside, is actually the perfect beta tester. He doesn't know anything about the game or it's mechanics, he has no forehand knowledge about the game, and is in essence a blank slate. Thousands of players just like this guy will hear about the game, download it since it's free, and encounter the exact same issues he is encountering.

If we get lots of guys like this into the beta, the end result will be a smoother, better experience for newbies when the game is launched.
