A noob is going to quit when.....

I didn't wade through 17 pages, so it may have been said already. But I think its worthing bringing up again if that's the case.


New player gets sick in town, doesn't figure it out and somehow manages to max it and KO before learning how to fix it? (Had this happen recently with a new player, I managed to help him before he died)
I realize there's no excuse to not figuring it out or being unlucky enough that no one helps you, and making a new character is a easy solution in the begining.

But maybe disease is disabled on new characters until they either,

- leaves providence claim for the first time.
OR
- uses wilderness guide for the first time.

- character is older then X amount of time.


I think this would at least let a new character get a grip of their surroundings before the game punishes them before they even leave town.


tl:dr
Let a new player make the choice to commit to the permadeath by venturing out of town.

i think this is going to be addressed in the new tutorial-like island of the next patch - nonetheless a good point

[belgear]

I really hate that idea to be honest.
I think that getting sick right off the bat would force a player to get in to contact with other people and thus work them in to the system a lot quicker. Warning people of disease and its implications would be as far as I hope they would go in safety netting the new players in that regard.

Therefor was given a good hint that works: https://hide.me/en/

And this is not a problem of the game itself or at area of influence by the devs.

Devs should and could host wiki on a good server.

[Cheena]

Absolutly. They absolutly also could and should host my map on a good server. And take Kandarim's client to make it default one and buy a Java certificate for it.

...erm; I think what is done by players should stay managed by players. honestly.

I think the game is at pretty well state right now, but the path finding needs serious work before a full release, it's the only thing i can think of since it's the first thing one notices and it's honestly horrible
Diseases are a serious theme right now, a warning as a form of a pop up should appear and maybe make it so you can't get infected from other players if your humours are below 10 for newbies.

Pathfinding? Of what? Animals? Players?
