Me and my brother have been playing a bit for a while now, and we love the game
Mostly
But sometimes, the game just does bullshit that you can't do anything about that sets you back massively
For example, after spending 2 hours running in-between a Drauger village we died at and making 2 rafts for it, we finally get our bearings.
I start to sail a short ways east to a black forest for some copper, so we can make a forge for our swamp base.
I get the copper, when it starts raining and a sea serpent spawns. I sail away from my base to catch the wind and lose it between a straight of an island and a continent. While doing this, my boat is swarmed by 5 leeches and I'm heading against the wind.
After escaping the leeches, I finally think I'm ok, I'm nearly home, when I look behind me and before I can even react I am killed by a wraith.
I sleep to day to despawn the wraith, and eat food to swim to the boat. I barely make it, get in the boat, and it is destroyed by a leech and I die.
I got off after that, and I'm still extremely aggravated. I am careful, but sometimes the shit this game does feels unavoidable. How do you all deal with how frustrating it gets?
