I want to reiterate on something because I don't want my post scaring anyone off: It is imperative to understand that "new" is never a synonym for "bad." Generally speaking, as soon as a dungeon loads I look at everyone's HP. If I get a New Player Bonus message and there's a black mage with 2.8k HP? Mystery solved! I fully expect that person to die to tricky mechanics and not really feel comfortable in their skin yet.
As mentioned, everyone was new once. Don't be afraid that making mistakes is going to make you look bad - it's going to make you look new, and if you mention you're new, well, most folks aren't going to fault you. At the worst you'll get a stubborn elitist who drops and eats a 30m time out because they're a jerk, but your spot in the run isn't jeopardized by that.
Communication, as in all things, is key. Let people know what to expect and you'll be alright. I've always found it helpful to just drop a "Hey, I'm new. Any specific tricks to look out for?"
