I've been fooling around in the Salem beta for some time and here's a few things that could use improvement.

-It feels like i'm spending all my time picking stuff up off the ground. In haven you could go out for an hour and hearth back with good stuff .
In Salem you walk 5 seconds your inventory is full then you walk back to camp and repeat over and over.

-When your grinding it feels mind numbingly boring so if there was some in game music to go with it that would help.

-The camera and direction is difficult to control . When you walk around the camera keeps moving awkwardly. Unless you ctrl click the map its difficult to go the direction you want.

-The tiny inventory is annoying, the backpack not joining onto the inventory, not being able to craft stuff inside your backpack. The backpack not showing up without going into your equipment and manually opening it .

-The humor directions don't make sense :
(blood) on top
(phlem) to the right
(black bile) to the left
and (yellow bile) on bottom when its ordered (blood) (phlem) (yellow bile) (black bile)

It would make sense if it was (blood) on top (phlem) left (yellow bile) right and (black bile) on bottom.
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

And most actions don't have sounds, so the ones that do really stand out.

there's no fishing for the music though :P

in response to what someone else said, grinding is salem, salem is grinding, grind grind grind, the more time you have to play, the better you will do... if you have obligations you won't get anywhere serious in salem, also the grind is so repetitive and it gets real boring real fast, my advice is to not let go of haven, for now at least, sure, give salem a play but i'm pretty sure a lot of you will end up coming back after a week, it's worth the lag
Oh boy, here I go cheesemaking again...

Someone's not up to date on Salem :P, fishing came out a update ago but its rather noobish food.

www.youtube.com of course ;)

Try reading it like a clock. Does it make sense that the clock read 12 3 6 9 or 12 3 9 6 (as you would have it ordered)?

Try getting Ender's client. There's a different camera setting plus you can set the humors to display as bars.

Crafting not drawing from backpack can be handy at times, like when you're holding onto an old log to study and you want to make some sharpened sticks.
