Was it worth buying?
Hello!
Recently i asked you guys if the game is worth buying:

I bought the game and now have about ~10 hours in it, all on unofficial Servers as you recommended me.
I started as Crocodile (Deinosuchus), which is quite challenging as a new player, i moved on to Hypsilophodon rather quickly.
It was an absolute blast as Hypsil, beeing so fast, acid spit and jumping was so much fun while beeing afraid of every small noise was fun too, but i ran about 1-2 hours with absolutely no idea where to find other players.
I found a other player really late which helped me out alot, he showed me that im able to actually hold on terrain and trees, and able to jump around like a squirrel which made me love this Dinosaur even more.
He died rather quick by messing around with trodos, so i was alone again.
Playing Omniraptor was awesome too, and i found some people and it was awesome to hunt as a pack, they also showed me what the Symbols actually mean, how to heal, hunt, find water and food.
I also accidentally became prime elder, which was fun for me and the others because it was by pure luck.
I died to a Carno later, i felt too save on a rock..
Was the Game worth buying?
- The game is absolutely beginner unfriendly.
- It is hard, unforgiving and not intuitive.
- Symbols, Game Controls and Shortcuts are not explained.
- It is indeed buggy some times.
Yet, i still say it was absolutely worth the price, but i am exactly that type of player which enjoys this style of Gameplay, i love if there are consequences for each decision.
What this game really needs is some form of tutorial which shows the basic Control's, i was running around for an houre or two before i found out that i can actually press Q to sniff for food.
I was playing for 6 hours before i someone told me that pressing 1 is a long range call for others, which is quite important.
I believe there are many player who leave the first 1-2 hours because they do not have the patience to find this out by themselves or wait for players to tell them.
But fazit, awesome game, i love it, i really hope im able to nest soon.
Any further tipps for me?
