"game is too hard" ... wait what!?

OK! the bugged weapon damages aside how in the hell can any 1 say that this has gotten harder ...sorry but yeh it was a LITTLE bit hard before this nurf/bug patch but that was great, with a friend it was easy quite manageable

it DID NOT need a nurf at all maybe the leather armor did and in my opinion the armor made from metals need to be seriously buffed iron as strong as leather wtf ?

and yeh ive seen about 3 threads about the birds being to hard...wtf ? there not hard in the slightest ..yeh u will most likely be 2 or 3 hit ....GET SOME DAMN ARMOR i was running around with no armor and still the birds are easy

i recon its too many bad players just crying that this nurf patch (that has made the game mind numbingly easy) has not made the game easy enough for them

i really hope that when they fix the bugged weapons the game gets a bit harder because right now its pathetic

hope there are some people out there that agree if not then i guess you just need to egt better at the game and stop crying about difficulty i think for once a first release of a beta was just about spot on and didnt need much changing at all but the kiddies wrecked that

rage over

ahhhhh no shit ? bit of a pointless reply considering i was complaining about people saying the game is too hard ? and the fact that i didnt think it needed a nurf at all.... and the only bugs i mentioned was the bugged weapons.
also i said that the difficulty was spot on and to be honest considering its a beta they are quit bloody spot on yeh the bugs had to go and the being able to attack through walls the leather armor that was harder then gold but the mobs were perfect
game suffers cos kids are shit and cant play

EDIT: yeh i said the balance changes where shit (the difficulty not needing to be nurfed it was fine) but the weapons were bugged hence the massive balance change i also said "bugged weapons aside"

the whole point of beta is for us to test it... apparently all the children got to it this week and hence the massive nurf

 

Correct, as it is a beta, everyone's constructive feedback should be appreciated. I agree with the OP

 

the OP right tbh I mentioned in another thread yesterday how disappointed I was when I killed UFO boss (before he was nerfed on the first patch) I heard so much crying and complaints how hard he was in full silver armor, I fought him and he barely did much dmg at all to me, and I never cheesed him either thats stupid it was fought in flat open ground and even if I had a decent sword the majority of the fight was a bow.

I enjoyed the game before this nerf I still need to play a bit more but so far I liked the old mechanics of weapon and armor better, no idea how ppl can fail the ufo boss and even had to cheat too >.>

 

oh god ...dont get me started on that UFO i summoned that thing on a multiplayer server at a spawn point when i was still fresh spawn geared and it smashed us hardcore

but my second attempt with full leather armor and automatic rifle and i just stood there and took it like a tank (with bandages)

 

I'm not saying the op is wrong, but we are so early in the beta that any complaints are only going to cause issues. Right now as a community we need to focus on bugs and good feedback. I don't think we can even guess on final difficulty yet.

 

Before the game was just broken, not specifically "hard", everything instakilled you so you just had to do dumb things to ensure you never got hit, like encasing enemies in blocks and killing them that way.

Now the game balance is quite a bit better than that (bugged weapons aside) but I would agree, if anyone finds the game hard right now they need to go have a brain scan because its definitely trivially easy atm.

 

Balance issues don't usually get more obvious than one-shots, (giving or receiving). Seems a bit early to fall in love with the current inevitably changing math.

 

Here is something they can use. What works/what doesn't.

 

Lol i did the same thing but I know what was going to happen but it was for lawls I too got raped xD but after gearing up it was ez my rant was why did ppl complain about it being hard in whats basicly low lvl end game gear at the sector when it did barely nothing to me, I just wondered what the players were doing that amde it hard for them

 

I don't like how people say 'crying' I'm new to this game ans I'm not the best but I'm not crying about being killed. I have played for the past 3 hours and don't have armour or a new weapon, I'm getting killed easily but I'm not crying...

 

i agree with this too BUG STOMPIN TIME i just cant stand that people are complaining about difficulty when in my opinion the game was fine in this regard the only thing they needed to update was the slow release of the features/content they have locked off right now and the bugs

 

wtf ? NOTHING insta killed you if u had some damn armor and dont suck. shit yeh at first i was raging at getting 1 hit by all the mobs with laser rifles.... know what i did ? i teamed up with my good mate grabbed damn sheild and tanked while he shot i found away around it and didnt come to the forums to bitch about it being too hard when in fact it wasnt u just had to get better

the constant dieing and re spawning just made me want to get that damn dungeon done even more or find a way to get around it by swapping out gear and tech for different combos that worked

shit people these days just want games handed to them on a silver platter games are getting easier and easier as the generations go on

 

don't mean everyone mostly meant the very vocal ppl ranting thread after thread about it, its how every game is, if it's too hard for some ppl they complain and complain never giving it a chance to know and beat it themselves but they just want it gone entirely to be easier for "them"

 

Hard is good, impossibly hard is bad. It's a sandbox adventure game. I haven't been able to do any adventuring or sandboxing because the new level-less mob thing, has flying mobs with 3+ breath attacks doing 40-70 damage (plus fire DoT) and ganging up on a newly created player who cannot properly defend against such things...

plus the AI on the flying mobs has gotten really relentless, I created 4 characters, all of which spawned on worlds with 100% hostile flying mobs... which will follow me underground, wait outside of structures made of dirt for me to leave, and more than literally follow me for an entire planet en masse. I should at LEAST be able to run from them and have them give up after a certain distance.

 

If you were playing optimally you would only go to lvl 10,20,30,40 planets. Regardless of your armor you would be oneshotted until you had the best armor for that tier, at which point you could take about 2 hits on the highest level planet of that tier. Though some things, like snipers or certain mobs at night would still one shot you. It wasn't hard, I had everything pretty much, could just perpetually fly around instakilling everything with my blue rocket launcher. It was however broken. Balance will be a continuous process though and it's by no means where it needs to be yet.

 

yeh by crying i just meant the people who have tried it and instantly slam the difficulty ima go edit saying new players not included lol

 

Fair enough, I'm just giving the game a chance and finding ways around the problems I face...

 

I spawned last night all evil birds, it was annoying but once u figured out their ai it's easy to kill em, just kite let them attack and move back before it hits u then jump to hit them they have a delay before they can attack again, you'll feel more safer attacking right after their attack
