The best part of the game for me is learning the game. If you enjoy survival games I think this is one of the best.
Lots of luck to you and hope you enjoy it too.
It's just too boring to play it atm...but I think, there're at least 500 days more in that Char.
IF nothing stupid happens...like so often before! ;-)
The start of a game is also a lot more interesting. The game isn't really designed for truly long term play. I guess it depends on the player. I find it hard to stay motivated in sandbox games (TLD is an exception), while others have no problems
On Stalker, my average is probably 40. The reason is because of the damn wolves. I was living at the Paradise Meadows farm and I killed three wolves one day and then the next day I killed four more. Leaving the farm the same day, I saw another 3 and was attacked by one. that is WAY too many wolves for my liking.
Playing Interloper, my average per run is probably 25. The reason is because I do stupid things on a regular basis. Once I had a torch out and kept left clicking as fast as I could, to see if I could light the torch without holding the button down, little did I know each time I click used one match... Yeah, stupidity is what kills me on 'loper 70% of the time.
To be honest, I have not really gone for a long term run in the past year, at least. My longest was day 340ish. but, I get bored at day 150. By day 200 I usually (always) have everything looted and back to one central base. from there, I don't really know what to do. Last time I got to day 200, the mapping feature was not out so that was not really an option. Perhaps next time I get bored on a long run, I can resort to mapping? :)
You really can't go wrong with TLD. It's as linear as you want, only has objectives you give yourself, and can be as hard or as easy as you want. Between custom settings and player challenges, you can play forever without it ever being the same game twice.
The goal was to capture the original 31 buffer memories. I succeeded in doing that. Then I noticed how close I was to getting all my survival skills up to level 5. That became my goal. I'm still not done it though, and now with the Redux update adding more buffer memories to discover I'm working on collecting those now, too.
By day 600 you did not have all the skills to level five? Weird. On my old PC I have a run 200 days or something where I'm only missing mending level 5 and then I would have all the level 5s.
Don't worry, lol. we've all been stuck before. Can I ask, what kills you most? For me it's wolves. for some reason, I just can't predict them. weird. I know some people that always get lost in blizzards and can't find their way back. What's yours? :)
Yeah, sprains get pretty annoying. I once sprained both ankles and I then healed them with a couple painkillers. Then, I sprained both ankles again!
You said you are playing on Pilgrim? If so, wolves don't usually attack you unless provoked. Meaning, they won't attack you unless you attack them first, or get super close to them. So if possible, try to keep a little distance between them, even if you play on Pilgrim. coming within 5 meters of them might make them a fair bit mad. :)
"How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice man, practice." :P
I got good by playing a LOT of hours (over 1000). By learning every map, key spawn point, and equipment location like the inside of my own house, by playing difficulties under my own and harder than my own, by learning pretty much every pred location and game trail that I could for every map, every trick, tip and technique the game had on offer, by learning more importantly EVERYTHING I could about every wolf in the game and how to deal with them in any situation, and now by learning (across many runs and thousands of "game" hours spent living outdoors) as much about surviving outside, (from safe places to sleep, hidey-holes to build fires, coping with weather and wild-life) as probably anyone does, I managed to get pretty good indeed.
And still I die lol. I lose attention, roll the dice, make one bad call, or run out of talent at a critical moment... AmaniLeon, you had a seven day run on Pilgrim, I had a 220-something day run on Stalker, and both of them ended the EXACT same way. It's how all runs end. This game isn't about how long you live, it's about how well you live and how hard you lived before it ended. Half of my TLD stories are about amazing victories agains horrible odds and amazing feats of luck and daring that paid off. The other half of my best TLD stories are about SPECTACULAR failures, incredibly crappy luck, gambles gone oh so wrong, and colossally boneheaded moves. Every run, long or short, is a story. It's what makes this game unique above all.
And if the OP is worried about this thread going wandering, the last few posts are actually a REALLY good indicator of exactly what you are getting into with this game. It's not just a game you play, it's a game you experience. It's brilliant.
EDIT - @Jiffy, I had NINE sprains in the first 25 days of my current run, 2 of which (both effing wrist sprains of course) occured during the same frantic four wolf-pack attack at Three Strikes Farmstead in PV. Talk about TLD stories... ugh.
