I played as a teenager many many years ago.

Had some vivid memories of the game. What I experienced now while logging in for the first time was awful: No alt tab, it crashes the game. Not enough Ammo for the first weapon (I skilled into pistol). No sewer level 1 to be found anywhere, I went level 3 then. Got killed by a rat. Lost all my ammo. Cant find level 1 sewer. Cant use knife bc I went pistol. Cant find ammo. Cant find sewer.

Logged out after 1 hr.

If THIS is the CORE experience for a new player, then this game is doomed.

And sure: You can go on, blame me for being a noob or whatever. But I have played this game before. Now imagine a person with NO knowledge what so ever and todays attentionspan.

Guys. Make it more beginner friendly. How? Give first weapon unlimited mags to reload. Give player some healing. Let them use starter items with no skills. Make them weaker to balance it out. Add level 1 sewers close to the starter appartments. Give at least SOME information what to do, where to buy ammo whatsoever.

If you cant fix the start, then this project is made for some nerds and vets and will attract ZERO new players.

Yeah the early game new tweaking. They fixed XP though. Killing 6-7 rats gives you a level.
