I tried it for a couple hours but just couldn't find my way, i think if i watched some guides to get myself started i could get into it but i really want to figure it out unassisted. If you have any resources that are more or less spoiler free and just give push in the right direction i'd be down to try it again.

@AxisKronos ooh boy, okay. I'll try my best to explain, rainworld can be very tough to get into if You are going in 100% blind. You have to set Yourself some small goals and explore areas. If You get really confused there is no shame in watching some guides (which i won't link because its really satisfying to learn everything on Your own) [kind of an outer wilds situation]. So yeah i belive in You, just wander around and keep an open mind. Motivational note: there is a 66 page document on all the movment tech this game has made by the community so theres that. Overall it's just a wonderful game so please do give it another shot!

@AxisKronos oh Yeah that small push You wanted: Theres this small yellow guy that shows You holograms, i wonder what His deal is?

Close, it's not skiing. For better or worse, it does not need the skill to move. Who am I kidding, it's a fucking joy to move in this game!

Tried getting friends into it but they said there was no content…the movement is the content

I've only encountered harpies spawning on mountains a few times, that is something i hadn't considered though, thank you

Builds are outdated now my b, 22222 energy rerouting is about the same thing just slightly less ammo efficient than heat pipe used to be

Gonna have to hard disagree with that. Assuming a new player is going in without guidance, as they should be able to, expert is a horrible idea. You gotta remember these are players that are gonna take a full day or more to make shelter, don’t know where to look for upgrades, don’t know how to make proper housing and probably don’t even know what the goal of the game is. The biggest scare of expert on a brand new player is the very real possibility that the buffed enemies are going to kill the guide before they learn how to make proper housing to get him back. At that point someone trying to play the game without external assistance is well and truly screwed, and the odds of that happening on classic is far, far lower. I agree that classic is easy, but that’s an opinion that is based off of gameplay with good weapons, accessories, buffs, armor and NPCs. When you start taking those things away, it raises the difficulty of the game incrementally. Master EoC is light work with platinum armor, boomstick and a blade of grass in an arena. But consider the new player who’s balling out with tin armor, an enchanted boomerang and 140 health fighting a classic eye on rough terrain. They don’t know they should build an arena, they don’t know that tin armor sucks, and they certainly don’t know about buffs, good weapons, and that’s not even to mention under developed mechanical skill, hot key knowledge or boss attack patterns. I’ve been watching a good deal of new player terraria videos recently, hence why I made this, and I find that there are two constants. The new players overlooking MAJOR systems in the game that we take for granted, and the overwhelming compulsion for people to backseat them towards elements of the game that they wouldn’t have found otherwise. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6DFk5RtoJ6gaq8si=Qo_3D0EptefhAjHf For example, Milk Man Steve beat the game without combining accessories. At all. Didn’t have wings either. Which is telling for just how easy the tinkers workshop is to miss, but also just how much harder the game is when you aren’t aware of the subsystems that are hidden in a random NPCs shop. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKjGpWttgruHhs0si=9oTOsU-UrTvK9jkE Throarbin showed a couple brand new players experiencing the game for the first time a while back, and by forcing them onto expert mode he showcased them failing to build shelter before night, which is ok, but they then proceeded to get kill farmed by zombies 2 shoting them for the next 9 minutes straight. Not a good new player experience. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2qzaJ2CbtKDbZosi=0IzPp6skvL2Y6qoG This poor SOB whose entire playthrough has been entirely governed by a kid in the comment section directing him which mods to install, weapons to craft, where to go and how to play. This is probably the worst case scenario for a playthrough since it’s hardly even your gameplay anymore. To be fair I don’t believe this is his “first” run, but from how much guidance he is taking I’m lumping him in with new players, no disrespect. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnuxiaWpftNgjcksi=B26PUQibe5SpkWpf I think SilverThrone had the best new player playthrough in recent memory, avoided most spoilers, figured it out himself, and believe it or not, had a good time on classic. I’ve rambled enough I guess, point being, getting packed up by normal enemies when you dont even know how to make a torch is gonna make more people quit the game than the terror of having an easier first playthrough, so hell no don’t send new players into expert.

@ I guess I assumed most people nowadays would be introduced to the game in a multiplayer setting with maybe one experienced player and a couple new players like in UberDanger’s video for example m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5DVqKOVisejgs0 And now that you mention it It took my brother and I when this game first came out a whole month just to know we could talk to the guide and were stumbling through most of progression lol I do think you should continue to talk about systems like the TW, arena building, and potions because of some of the reasons you mentioned Thanks for clarifying some stuff and for the video recommendations, have a great day
