Starting off seems to be very painful at the moment and I think XP should be increased in PVE and majorly increased in PVP.
At the moment, it takes you a lot of fights to get from 1 to 2 in PVE and you're stuck not having access to a lot of the attacks you wish you did or enough score to do much.
The first fight is also a big toss up since you're outmatched at the start, or at least it feels like that.
My recommendation would be to bump up the numbers a bit. It's usually the first few levels that are the hardest and they dictate if someone sticks around or not.

So the easy fix could be to adjust the difficulty vs reward for our "easy" opponents - Street Thug and Lisa Pink. I reduced their difficulty and increased the XP gained. Let me know if this works better. But after all systems are in place I will need to go over and fine tune all of it anyway. The difficulty is supposed to be progressive, each level costs more XP and I believe the total XP to reach max level is around 35k or so, last I checked.

What I mean is that I don't want players to reach lvl 50 by farming NPCs day and night for a couple days haha. We have other discussions and feedback entries about how to give more incentive to prefer PvP over PvE.

There were many tweaks into new player experience. I'll close this for now, but feel free to bump it or open new one if it still feels bad.
