All I see is someone who keeps running into a wall constantly. I don't get why people buy survival games just to keep running head-on into the same problem repeatedly. It mind boggles me why you need to keep doing and going to the same place repeatedly.

When I died on the mountains for the 3rd time in a row, as a new player, I decided I will do something else. So I did for the next few in-game days. Then I went up to the same mountain, but from a different side, using a different strategy. Eventually, I built a castle on top of that mountain and I got my gear from the corpse that laid there about two in-game weeks ago. By then, I had better gear, but I kept what I looted as a fourth set of back-ups.

At the swamp, I died once and figured I need to be more patient. So, I built a base on the outskirts of the swamp, with a portal, a moat, and an enclosed docks for my karve. A few in-game days later, I made my way into the swamp with my bow and fire arrows. I made sure to bring Stam Stam Health foods, and made sure I wasn't jumping all over the place. I also made sure to bring poison resist. Etc, etc, etc.

Anyway to cut a long story short. Got to learn to adapt. Got to learn to let go. Got to learn to do other things in a game with an infinite number of paths. If you treat an open world survival game like a 2D side scrolling action game with only one path, one ending, one method, then you're just going to keep dying.
