Yeah, I guess eventually anyone passed through this, but after sharing information, newcoming players shouldn't pass since they already have shared information. At least I though that would be the case.
Before starting, I just read almost everything that was directed through new players, and to sum it up, they are:
Collect shit.
Collect some resources on random areas of the world map.
Craft and collect crap until you make 100 caps.
Open a bank account.
Make your own tent and then, you'll start accumulating riches, since no one will be able to steal you.
It is hell wrong. Or at least, I MUST be doing it wrong.
First: You start on the North cities. Man... And they are chaos. I mean, there aren't much players, and mainly there aren't much equipped players, it must be because of the recent wipe, but it doesn't matter: Some random will come and attack why without reason. But it's most likely they won't kill you.
The whole thing about shoving crap is lame. Those brahmins don't crap at all. They must have some intestinal problem, because they almost NEVER shit. Even IRL cows shit faster.
Second: The npcs who give this crap shovelling quest must be bugged, or then, it's just me.
I started in Vault City. Okay, I found the brahmins and the NPC. I talked to him, and after I said "Okay I will start right now", the conversation ends. He didn't gave me a shovel or nothing. So how the hell am I supposed to shovel crap?
Then I just bought one from the npc, which cost 1 cap, no big deal but still, if I hadn't anything I could shovel crap to start from scratch.
But it was crowded with players, so I couldn't shovel at all, since the brahmins don't crap.
Usually I got to Gecko, and the NPC there actually worked. It did gave me the shovel, but after I shovelled plenty of crap, he didn't reward me with anything, leaving me with that crap on my inventory. Yes, shovelling them gave 10 exp each, but it isn't worth it at all. The same on Modoc, except he didn't gave me any shovels. And I couldn't find a place to buy them.
I died sometimes at random encounters while trying to reach the mining site so I could get some resources. NO random map have anything lootable (I have 55 science and 44 repair).
Now, I'm just stuck. No caps, no nothing, not even shovel, and mainly, NOT CRAP to shovel.
Could someone enlight me, can someone just highlight what am I doing wrong?
inb4 The wasteland is harsh. It's supposed to be like this, blah blah. Still, it's a game, it's supposed to be playable. There are lots of other ways to show that the wasteland is harsh, and FOnline:2238 already have this atmosphere, but this is extreme.
