My experiences of Salem the Game

Post by shubla »

It is a great fun, at first at least, because it is different than HnH.
But soon you realize that the devs are literal shitheads compares to HnH devs.
There is bunch of bad mechanics that dont make any sense.

In HnH at least you (usually) get somekind of rational explanation or opinion from devs about some mechanic.

Salem ideas are great on paper...diseases, madness, darkness, witchcraft, shoreline, whales, expeditions... good ideas, but in practice the game holds content from players.... the grind stacks up to madness level 6

Tried playing it when they did that new "pvp" server thing. I had some fun early grinding, but there was just too many flaws. Everything's super bloated and overly-complicated. Way too many bullshit, un-intuitive mechanics that just shouldn't exist. The player-base is even more homogeneous and care-beary than H&H's. The players just want to grind infinitely on the main server that will never get wiped, and never interact or fight or anything. The "pvp" server was fucking empty on the first day. Also the NPCs have super cringey voice-acting.

We just need more rare hidden drop from forage and crafting in HnH (like weird beetroot, golden egg, cheese hole etc.).
This will close the gap between games for me, hehe, as i really miss the "surprise" thing here.
Yormungandr, gurbibal master, drunken hunter, the thief of Constantinopol, he who never died of man`s hand, son of Severin, grandson of Yozz, Yozzik, Wengdalf. Also an owl who's watching.

P.S. More nice hats please!
