Ok so here's the idea, I see a lot of new players coming in that neccesarily don't "get" the game, or don't know what to do. Which is perfectly ok, because as this game is not your "typical game", the learning curve is very steep, and everyone was new once. Now here's my idea, I'm planning on starting a new character, and record and explain everything i do and the purpose of such actions for like the first 4-5 hours of the game, from starting your new character to killing animals, etc. So I am looking for community input from all the veterans to new people, what do you guys think should be explained mostly? What do you think would help the new players the most, and what do you think would overall benefit the game for new players out there? I'm looking forward to your responses!

Seems like there's been a few issues with the "new" combat system in that it's not your typical "stand there and punch till dead" system. Instead, it's more like "Punch Out" and you have to know how to defend yourself and not get hit or at least soften the blow.

Plleeeeeeeeeeeease Make a vidya about how to hunt crickets, beaver and deer. It's very required, and as someone pointed out words just can't cut it. I would love to have something to link for people who ask about it.

Trading....

You'd be surprised how many times a new player asks me; "So, how do we trade then?" before a trade.

Maybe a short video explaining this, the dangers of, avoiding scams, using a purse/splitting silver and how to memorize/kin your trade partner beforehand.

I think there definitely should be some focus on beginning gluttony. This makes such a huge difference in a new pilgrim's experience, yet so many of these new lil fellas have no idea where to start.

I think there should be a video on interacting with Tirbal members on the server. So many new players end up dieing simply because they do not know the appropriate things to do or say when a Native meets them off the claim.
