First Look at PixARK, it was a gankers paradise!

My first steps into PixARK online gameplay during the early access promo for streamers and youtubers.

After creating my character I zoomed down into the world, started to explore around and pick items from the ground.  After a while of exploring I met a neighbor, I didn't attack they started attacking me and they were pretty persistence at that for some odd reason. Not letting this bug me I continued on my journey into the game's mechanics.

Here is the first look at PixARK video gameplay from my twitch stream session with over 6 hours of footage.



Part two is also available, with another 8 hours of footage.


Towards the end I manage to find a really impressive sword from the ruins. Once I started using that sword the game changed totally. NPCs were dying left and right pretty easy and leveling up sky rocketed super fast. If you want to level up fast in PixARK, make or find a really good melee weapon and kill all the npcs you see around.
