Newbie and Release 18

Well, since I could not join the last couple of Releases (my Laptop became too weak) I bought a new one with GForce chip etc.
I was looking forward to some adventure experience but...

I am severely disappointed.

1. Whenever I log in it is dark night. For a newb with no idea where to go this is just nuisance. No map available, you try to find a way to the next bigger town. Ok. But...
2. On your way there you get loading screen after loading screen....
3. After 3 days I managed to reach Ardoris...
4. Loading screen -> discon
5. Relog near Solace Bridge....way back to Ardoris... discon
6. Way back to Ardoris....
7. Rinse and repeat 100 times

Conclusion:
1. Frustration
2. I am not exactly sure wheter this is a game or a torture machine.
3. I am a casual player, true. Not your target group?
4. 17 years of UO where discovering the land was fun. But SotA is just a bugging field trip.

Sorry.

I think that - at least optionally for casualgamers - Portalarium should consider including some "hand-holding"-systems to help get along in the game. I think The Witcher 3 does this very well without compromising immersion.

 

Well the game could use an in-item paper/cloth map of Novia and the Hidden Vale.

Hopefully, a lot of the bugginess forcing you to log out and restart your adventure can be fixed.
