As a new player, but experienced gamer, it was hard to find where (or even what) the Objectives is.
The problem arose when I was checking the FAQ for the current event and it said to abandon your current objective in order to enter the event. I thought it was the tab with the daily quests, but since I had no quest and it kept telling me I had no quests available, I got confused.

When I asked here on the forums it became quickly apparent that what I thought was the World Reset button was in fact the Objectives section.

Part of the confusion arises from the first objective (Getting Started) cannot be abandoned and therefore don't have the option to abandon it and partly it's because the only mention of any objective is in the middle of the hover panel that says "Objectives & Restrictions". I assumed this to mean that if I reset the world, I would be restricted to a certain formation. In hindsight, the reward section of the hover card should have tipped me off, but since you're rewarded for a lot of things the first time you do them (like a chest on the first boss kill at every stage), I again made a false assumption about it.

I think this could be easily solved by either putting a text under or over the box itself that says "Objective" (or something to that effect), or by writing that on top of the hover card (over where it currently says the name of the objective).

But since there is a tutorial in the beginning, I think most people don't read the FAQ. A simple text label that says "Objective" is much more clear, in my opinion.
Also, a suggestion in the FAQ to have a certain item before starting an event still doesn't make it obviously clear where the Objective box is located.

I think we're talking about different things here, Vingummi.
I'm talking about this one: https://s21.postimg.io/gf0j6eo47/Objectives.jpg

The button with "See All Objectives" isn't there until the first reset either.

The one you're talking about doesn't even show up until you've reset the first time.

But that's my point. A simple label at the top of the pop-out would fix this right away.
I've seen other newcomers with the exact same problem as well, and it's such an easy fix, hence the request for that feature.

Or add a line at the top that just says "Objective", like
"Objective
Centennial"

And the confusion with free play is a minor one that can be easily remedied with a rewording, or possibly removing of the word "Objective" for Free Play only.
