I agree with this and I'll add that even when us vets were noobs, we had the manual that came with the game that explained the basics so you had at least an idea of what to do when you started. Now, new or returning players get plopped into tutorials that are okay, but not great at explaining things. Bonus points for all the people that say "I don't need no tutorial" and plop into Atlas with clue zero how to actually play the game. Perhaps an updated version of the manual that covers the basics like health and endurance regen, slotting, enemy powers that can affect the player, etc? Maybe hosted on the site with it pinned in the guides section and a link in the ingame options menu that opens a browser to it?
As for gutting endurance because it makes the game hard?
