(To) difficult, (to) stressfull. Please put in a easy mode.

Please put in an easy mode with no time pressure or deadly time-boss spawning.
To learn the game better, to practice. A mode with less loot or exp.

((I like this game, but not with this stress level. I am not a gaming pro))

**Edited after some playtime: after many play sessions i've learned the game pretty well and dont find it too stressfull anymore :)

[Punabra]

There is already an easy mode, just escape after doing 1-2 areas and then repeat

Not really. The hardest part of a run is usually the start. Once you got your first mk 3 gun the run opens up. Before that it can be quite hard.

Master Piloting and commanding crew. Once you know how to avoid beeing hit its very easy game.

good tip :) i've been playing now for a while and getting the hang of it, getting better ;)
Thanks

I'm the opposite, the game is too easy even when flying Solo Destroyer.
Need a harder difficulty.

That would actually be hard mode.
The missions don't get progressively harder, they're always a set difficulty based on the difficulty of the mission. The longer you play, the more upgrades you have, the easier the game gets.

Tutorial is ok, but you jump into a game and is overwhelming. I was not even playing alone. Almost refunded the game. Till i joined a random party with 2 experienced player and then i finally enjoyed.

I think it needs a "tutorial" easy actually run so you know how actually play the game.
I had no idea how to use the tractor beam.
No idea how to upgrade weapons.
Mods, and many more.
If you are losing over 75% of new players, you are not doing tutorial correctly.
(based this number or number of people completing ANY achievement)
Biggest one for this game i think is 16%.

Yeah the game is to easy tbh

[LazerDude]

Brain ship go brrrrr

[Jhea]

I play this game solo and it is pretty easy...
On the other hand i also solo slooped all the way in sea of thieves - so it's just a matter of training.

Just get the shields first, put em on 2 facings, and you are pretty much immune to damage when you know how to dodge stuff.
after getting 10 alloys for the first weapon fire upgrade, you can just blast everything and collect even more stuff.

this game isn't hard... it's just a skill issue

Achievements were added when 1.0 released, so many people who owned the game in early access and haven't been back don't have achievements. As such the count is not representative of overall participation.

[Sasha Mason]

^ yup.
It is usually a problem with any game that adds achievement later in development.
Best example is Amnesia: The Dark Descent, a horror game that added achievements many years after its release. If you were to check the achievement stats for it, it would seem like the vast, vast majority of people who bought it never played it.
