I think swamp isn't awful, but people want to leave the forest because they have been there for so long. I am most likely strong enough to go to swamp but I have to travel far to the boss and it just seems like a hassle and not fun. Too much tree chopping and mining and not enough troll killing and boss fighting for me. The progression is just ultra slow and uneventful. I think the people who like mining and grinding materials and building large bases mainly like this game. People who want to mainly go out and explore will have some fun but it will be a slow process.

Did you know if you have a fully upgraded bronze set (every bronze item) you are carrying 10.5k weight units worth of copper and tin bars? I would hate to lose that!

The game seems much too grindy to be fun. If you fill a karve up with a stack of tin and 2 stacks of copper you can't even make a single fully upgraded sword. You basically get 1/3 for no reason while every other ore is normal 1:1. Seems like a very bad oversight.

I might keep playing but this game is losing my interest quickly. Hopefully when I do the 2nd boss and explore the swamp it will hype me up again.

Why are you filling a karve up with copper and tin? Theres enough of that stuff in the start island? Use a karve for travel to an island with a swamp, set up portal, go get 10 iron scrap, sail back to process into iron, turn into nails and now you can make a longboat to carry heaps of ore, iron nails can teleport so you can build the long boat back at the swamp easy peasy now. Hope this hastens your ore gathering process.
