Doesn't matter cuz im done with the game. Run around for 4 hours trying to figure out how to do basic things because the tutorial is incredibly lacking. Stand next to crickets, rabbits, turkeys, for like 30-45 minutes trying to figure out to attack them only to realize, no thanks to any sort of official documentation, that you need specific skills to do it.
Then to lose those 4 hours worth of progress because the game designer doesn't understand that an Auto-Lose situation isn't fun for the person he wants to play his game.
LoL, person who went out of his way to give the game a fair shot doesn't enjoy it. Lets tell that douchebag to GTFO out of the game and then we can wonder why there's only like 100 people playing the game. Probably because we told them all to leave.
Get over yourself, game is stupid.
I do agree and many others have also said the tutorial needs some serious work, I understand it can be very frustrating to be KO'ed but not able to defend yourself (I hate snakes too and avoid them as much as possible) but I think your missing out on a great game. Once you get into it, it really opens up. Snakes and the such become a mere after-thought when you start planning out your base and getting into all the crafting industries.
Try checking out Sevens post here:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=181It explains how you can get a custom client (which is much better at spotting snakes on the mini map for example) and also gives you a great idea how to go about getting set up ingame.
Also we have a wiki here, while its not completely up to date everyone is working hard on it:
