Salem

So I managed to get into the beta this weekend. Ty facebook . One thing I have to say is that Salem has taken a lot of things that i loved from H&H and improved it. That said we still have yet to see the wonderful new content of witches in action or some of the creepy crawlers of the fantasy setting. Heck im even happy to see horses are going to be added one day. Sadly I am missing my boats though.
As a player who is doing the solo thing atm im finding it rather easy. I have a homestead and a large amount of rabbit and cricket kills. Working on drying some fur at the moment to further my exploits in the world of salem.

There is so much to do in this game and its not even finished yet. This is going to be a long experience.

P.S- Ty who ever was selling the metal shovel and backpacks at the stalls. Also Thinking of England >_>

I really dont see a point to boats in this game though. thats what saddens me the most. Seems like Horses will be the way to go

Once swimming is implemented properly, you'll most likely retract that statement :)

I'm also hoping for deep ocean fishing

As someone who played H&H please dont fix swimming haha

Now that i think about it you cant teleport in this game when carrying something over your head. that's going to suck for boats

And on the note of fishing is there any skill involved or is it all luck atm?

Not really "skill" exactly. Each fish type reacts well to certain commands, badly to others. Knowing what fish you can catch you can get a rough idea what fish you're playing with by knowing what it reacts well and badly to. You have room for 1 major mistake per fish before losing it and each species seems to have fairly different dislikes. Better fronts and wilds will give you more bang for your buck out of lures/poles when lurefishing.

Fishing is all about skill, knowing what fish you catch where with what lure and what moves.
