Combat too hard? Learn to dodge.

I've just about had enough of people saying combat is hard, and everything oneshots you. I'm sorry, but if you can't learn to dodge and learn attack patterns/Moves, you dying all the time is your fault, and crying about it is useless. Learn to dodge. When I started, I had most of my healthbar stripped from one enemy. Now, I can take out groups of four without damage. If you learn what Moves mobs use, you can plan ahead, see when they are going to use them and react. This Isn't Terraria, where you can take hits repeatedly and live. Please, For my (and many others) Learn to dodge.
Rant Over.

 

This is literally the solution to the majority of combat problems, but I guess people don't want to actually play the game. I know, maybe I can make a mod that will play the game for them, won't that make them happy!

 

I felt that you could have not posted this onto the forums. There's no need to mock people who are unable to dodge, either due to lag, or due to lack of experience.

 

You can tell people to "get better" at the game all you want, but at the end of the day, things are unbalanced and need to be fixed.

 

I Get around 10 FPS. I Can Dodge. Experience? Earn it, Learn to dodge.

See Above Post- I Agree that oneshots are absurd, But, don't complain about it, try to do something that isn't compaining.

 

A combat system where you either kill everything in one shot or get killed in one shot doesn't really have a lot of depth. Once they balance it out it'll definitely be for the better.

 

Calling bullshit.
You can't play a game at 10 fps and do well at it, let alone stand to play it.

 

'Learn to dodge'.

That's WAY harder than it sounds. I don't condone whining about a skill that takes time to develop, even from people who think the whiners should stop. Sounds like the devs still have work to do with the combat, anyways.

 

Maybe some of the frustration stems from the combat mechanics as well, like swords that only slash horizontally, or hitboxes that don't correspond to monster sprites (or maybe they are immune to arrows when charging forward, the game eats my arrows without saying why).

 

Well, if what you've said it true, a lot of people are less skilled than you are, which is why chucklefish wanted to tweak the fighting mechanics. I feel that there's really no need to bash people for complaining about combat being a bit too harsh.

 

WOAH WAT?
Dude. I've played MC at around 4-7. I did well. Please, Don't call bullshit. I had 5 years of every thing at 10. I can play at 10. Trust me.

 

ZangooseSlash pretty much summed it up, OP is bullshitting and is just mad.

 

Right. It's called Experience. Playing shit at 10 FPS, and you learn to deal with it. Don't BS me when you don't know what I'm running SB on.

 

Please, Once you get use to 4-7, It's easy as shit. Even so, If you can't deal with something, find a way around it. don't complain about it.

 

This may sound odd, but I don't like One Shot Offs, when I hear 'combat' I expect a challenge to involve a mix of me avoiding getting hit, tactically blocking, sneaking in strikes hear and there, I hate 'who hit's whom first' scenarios like this game CURRENTLY tends to put you. Thankfully, there are mods, and the combat system is getting reworked anyway, so this should rectified in the future.

 

Gredd, I think you need to take a chill pill. I believe you, I really do; but there are tons of people who'd do poorly in 10fps, I myself included. Let's just let chucklefish patch starbound up, and maybe we can let this thread die?

 

Yo. We can do without the insults here.

 

2hardcore5me. Also OP I agree some people are generally stupid but also have toaster PC's, no need to insult anyone for being bad, this is a casual sandbox game, not cs at global elite level.

 

We all know that the game needs balancing, that's why they are implementing a new combat system. Maybe people should hold back playing until that system is in place, then test it out and see if the game is still "hard".

 

I see people defending the current AP/armor level disparity 1-shot mechanics, yet every stream I see of high level gameplay/boss fights involves cheesy block-in tactics and/or frequent respawning. I think a better way attempt to sway people would be to post videos of running through a dungeon that's just a few levels higher than you without doing these things.
