Man who blatantly tried to deny/deflect about getting killed now tries to pass it off as a funni joke reference.
Same man who orally and verbally diarrheas in a community with regularity is convinced that there couldn't be anyone who intentionally avoids interacting with him.

Imagine trying to repeat that line again and again as if it becomes any more real the more you say it.
Jorb, if for some reason you think that Snail is in *any* way in the *know* like he loves to claim he is, please use your god powers to spy my hearthfire to disabuse yourself of that notion.

New player here. I started playing HnH a month before 16.1 dropped. Loving the game. Hermit by nature. Appreciate every small grind. Pulls all the hidden spectrum levers. Met some great people and some donkey-kicked-to-the-head people.

I’ll likely be charging up world 16 soon as the timers in 16.1 make it feel like a constant race rather than the rewarding build I felt in 16.

Regarding PvP and the soap opera drama surrounding it on the forums, I don’t know what the hell people want from us newbs. You want us to play but don’t want us to play because we play the game “wrong”? It’s like we’re playing two different games. I don’t use alts. I can’t imagine using a bot to push me ahead. You do you, though. I like that HnH is hard as hell. I like that it’s punishing. I like that I’ve been severely beaten by bats, cave rats, a wolverine, beavers, too many damn pigs, an otter, and by two angry walruses, figuring the best way to learn the combat system was to lose at it, over and over and over. I spent too much time fighting snakes, because I wanted to know how to beat them without getting bit (almost there). I don’t mind having to find the resources to stitch myself back to strength. You guys want competition but you play and act in ways counter to producing competition.

I like pvp. The constant threat makes the game fun and tense and worth every achievement. But newbs are being asked to risk all the fresh, thrilling hours they put into the game (after hitting 100 hours, I’m no longer afraid of having to build up again) to satisfy the need of alt/bot generators to feel superior enough so they can diddle themselves to sleep at night. This is how it comes across.

You’ve stolen the fun from yourselves. You’ve taken the easy route and are now befuddled why the journey isn’t rewarding.

Ok, back to my backwater hole millions of km from water of any kind, trying to learn enough to compete in a meaningful way against you while struggling with understanding if I’m the type of player you want to exist in game or not.
