When I started I think I spent an hour or two just looking for a damn maple leaf.
actualy, spawning in boston center and moving out to the wild would not take so long if you dont try to find maple leaves.
i made a new char right after the mmorpg or tentonhammer keys giveaway, and after walking away from boston for a while soon enough led me to 2 flints which were good enough to make a maracass and to buy me survival skill.
however, here are 2 issues.
1. for some reason, most new players are obssessed with maple leaves too much and wouldnt try finding something else.
2. the new tutorial encourages you to talk to the crier with beep so eagerly to spawn in the wilderness, but doing so actually takes away your option of spawning to your friends place.
as for 1, ive been trying to convince devs to think differently about leaves, but im no good and in vain. (maybe i should try and convince potjeh and sabinati first.)
as for 2, many ppl have been suggesting ideas to solve this, but in vain, again so far. oh well.
