THIS GAME
I dont care if it early access, the basic fundamentals should be in place, like saving your progress, yes you can click save , but if you voyage out and do a bunch of ♥♥♥♥ and then die , it takes you back to when you placed your camp, I mined 5 levels and 4 levels of tree cutting, saved the game and got killed by a godamned bee which set me back at my tent with all of that progress lost.

9 Tries to complete the steppes, I can save a thousand times, NOPE if you die , right back to your tent you go

Early access should at least work,

You can also quick-save with U (The next update will introduce auto-saves and an option to rebind the quick-save key)

And for gods sake DEV where can we get armor and clothes, I get that your one person, but you might want to spend a bit more time talking to the people who paid for this game, because right now the cost exceeds the enjoyment

Odd, I don't lose my XP gains upon death if I've saved.

Same for me. For the OP: you revert to the location you start at but keep your xp and loot. The reason you return to where you start from is to prevent people clearing a place out, deliberately dying and then spawning at your save point and looting it all over again, time after time.

I'm wearing leather armour I bought in a town right now. Try looking around instead of blaming the game. :D

Seems like a skill issue to me everything has been working great for me including saving. And no early access is not entitled to include anything. Early access means early access. Its a warning before you buy the game that their will be bugs and portions of the game that are not complete. I've bought early access games that are far less complete than this game. YouTube and google are an excellent resource.

You buy it and then equip it

Spot on. Doesn't sound TOO hard when you put it like that. Hopefully that will help the guy out. 😉

well, yes, you respawn at your tent, you also spawn at your tent with EVEREY save, doesn't matters where you saved the game. That should be obvious. I also never lost any progress by loading a saved game. As for the armour, well, they are a bit scarce, but they are there, you just need to visit the cities.

People want no minor inconveniences in games these days, sigh. I mean, you don't even have to do a corpse run either in this game! I still remember corpse runs in EQ! and having to cross entire zones sometimes, with no gear at all, NO ingame maps (they weren't a thing then) and no mounts. It was just run and try to remember the tree you died beside. 😄

Nektulos Forest corpse runs stay in my memory even now, about 25 years later. The times I found my corpse only to realise it wasn't the one with my gear on it - I usually ended up with so many scattered about.

Visit cities! There's plenty of shops where you can buy clothing, weapons and armor! (:

Lower Guk. Ugh. Nice to see another old timer about. Camp something for 12 hours, just to die and have to spend another couple hours retrieving corpse. Don't really miss it, tbh. lol

Same, but I think players back then were more stoic and didn't need any hand-holding or a game made so easy it may as well have had the classic big red "I win" button. Mind you, it was so tough that it fostered a REALLY helpful community!

I only played EQ 2, not the original, but yeah, that camping the spawn crap was not fun and I sure wouldn't do it now. For those who played in that era, I recommend checking out Erenshor, another passion project using the same asset pack as this game. Single-player old-school MMO, with NPC's to group and do content with. Off to a good start, IMO.
