No but seriously. How are new players gonna want to stick with this game if every time they fall victim to "unwanted pvp"/not property secured claim/not fully understood game mechanics/what ever you want to call it, they get to hear they are the problem?

I honestly don't understand the tone here. I remember first time I was killed as a noob, it was super frustrating. But I kept playing. If I would have expressed my emotions here on the forum when that happend tho I'm not that sure I would had been continue playing.


It makes me think tho.. I was streaming Haven recently and was stream sniped and killed on claim (no palisade yep) and I hate stream snipers so I did not take that very well. But the dood sniping me did something amazing. I've been stream sniped several other times in some other games (hate it, cowards, pathetic) and most of the time the sniper dont say anything on Twitch and just leave. Or they deliver one sentence, like a punch line, then leave. But this stream sniper in Haven, after he said on Twitch "take this as a lesson. you should hide your minimap" I was sure he was gonna leave. Or stay with dumber shit to say. And yeah he stayed. But he stayed quite. He listened. To my Swedish tipsy insults and salt. Without arguing back. I felt done with this world in Haven but then he started encourage me to keep playing. To not rage quit (which I was close to do). He said stuff like "keep playing", "become stronger", "not quit". Kinda lika a stream sniping Haven Yoda.
And he was right. All along. I resented his stream sniping to find me but everything he said made sense. It was super weird, but it kept me playing. I wanted to keep playing, I wanted to become stronger. Then he dumped a boar and some bigger animals next to my claim which was a bit sus .... -.- .... maybe sorry gifts .... -.- ..... idk..... -.- .... im just gonna use inspect tool ... -.- ... PLING




The reason why I told this is becuase this is how I wish this forum could be a little like. More listen to the clueless new players then talk back at them. Stay friendly and understanding about what they are experiencing. Help new players when they are lost and confused, salty and think the game is broken and the chances are greater for them to stick around/come back.
(Keep in mind im writing this from my view of what I've read. Everyone here does not fall into the negative new player feedback issue i want to highlight. I've a couple of very understanding and not insulting replies too <3)
