I have finally, after hours and hours, found one. This one space might be taken on launch day. Then what do I do? I'll have trucked my character out here to the edge of this damn map, to sit on a little junk pile by a river, and if I don't log on before 10 people do, all of whom will have priority in a huge radius that will negate my attempt to place my totem, then what?
I won't have a backup location, I can't, because I will already be out in this damn mist, trying to place. And by the time I get to anywhere else, all the places I could live on will be gone.
Not viable.
But we'll see. On launch day, I'm going to try to get a spot. If I do get fenced in, fine. I'll stay on my pile and grind until I have all the skills and resources necessary to move to a location that isn't fenced. Then I'll relentlessly pester guides to get me out with my biggest basket on my back, since obviously I'll be trapped until one is willing to do me the grand favor of teleporting my soloing butt over the fence. (That's if they happen to have fixed unstuck by then).
At which point I will feel free to make whatever tribe was foolish enough to fence me pay quite dearly for doing so.
But if I can't place on launch day because there is no where to place, I don't know what I'll do. PK til I get bored, I guess.
It sucks. This really, really sucks. And I don't think I'm overreacting. RPing a tad bit plus venting, but not overreacting. Because most of us solo players are going to get screwed on launch day, and we won't have recourse to a backup plan.
