Tried playing for the first time. Picked a low ping, PVP, official server. Started in the easy zone. Was swarmed by little raptor looking guys, tried to fight with fists, too many,... run, run, run into water, killed immediately by piranhas. Respawn, rinse repeat. Respawn, try to find more deserted area, picking up rocks, pounding some trees. Gathered some berries. Ate a few. Learned to get into and out of water quickly for a drink before getting eaten by piranhas. Swarmed by raptor guys, dead. Respawned, of course lost all I gathered, tried to go and collect it, raptors still there, swarmed, dead. Respawned, decided to forget what I had gathered, really tried avoiding raptors better, managed to get some resources, build a pickaxe, start collecting flint, great, now got pickaxe, berries, stone, flint, thatch, wood, … blindsided by raptor, killed him, start to harvest, another jumps me, kill him, start to harvest, 3 more attack, dead. Lost everything. Decided to quit for a while in frustration to read some more forums and watch some you tube videos on what I'm doing wrong and how to survive for longer than 5 minutes at a time and having to start over every time because it's too risky to try and recover dropped stuff. *sigh*
