At this point this game is more frustrating to play then it is fun.

[Nyaria]

Trying to gather resources? "Hunted" enemy pack instantly spawns ontop of me and starts attacking, also have a dragon attack, because poisons a real fun effect to run into constantly.

Working at home? Have a "Raid" mobs are instantly on your base breaking everything in sight, better hope they didn't spawn anywhere near your work stations or Storage. Also here have a dragon attack ontop of that that goes through your roofs and walls. Dragon just knows where you are at all times. Not even sneaking helps, it just shows up, knows exactly where you are and pelts you with endless acid that barely touching it gets you poisoned for 75% of your maximum HP in damage.

Just died? Here have a raid immediately upon re-spawning. Hope you didn't need the weapon's you dropped to fight off this raid. (Also the dragon's attacking again enjoy)

The mob density is also absurd, constantly running into packs of 2-3 mobs that are close to another pack of 2-3 mobs. Guthix help you if you get in a fight with two of those stupid druid mobs, one single attack and there goes 80% of your hp because poison's damage is absolutely absurd and the druid mobs can fill your entire poison bar with a single hit.

Like- I am actively trying to play this game, but it feels like the game actively does not want me to play it. I've gotten three dragon attacks back to freaking back in under 10 minutes, the base raids are insanely annoying and persistent, even the Tier 2 materials break in almost no time flat., watched a stupid level 2 goblin obliterate my entire pouch in a few swings despite having put in a frustrating amount of effort to build tier two building stuff.

To top it all off I can't even pause the dang game in my OFFLINE SOLO ONLY SINGLE PLAYER game. So if I have to step away from my computer for any reason (You know, like someone often does) I have to completely quit out of my game or I'll come back to find my home destroyed and me having died 2-3 times because of these non-stop attacks.

I just am at the point where I don't even care anymore. This isn't fun anymore this is a chore, this doesn't feel like a fun game it feels like a non-stop chore, that you are constantly being interrupted from doing anything.

Just found the Thundering plains and now not only do I have to watch out for dragon attacks, being "Hunted" and ambient hostile enemies, periodically the sky just decides "♥♥♥♥ you in particular" and you just get zapped by lighting, that if you don't immediately hit the evade button just is the most obnoxious thing in the world.

That's not even touching the poor performance of the game running, and having to deal with what feels like latency on my OFFLINE SOLO PLAYER WORLD, when dealing with dodging, parrying and fighting off mobs.

Yeah, because that completely invalidates anything I said..

Oh wait it doesn't.

I strongly agree that devs need to tone down the frequency of hunts and dragon attacks. The latter are completely pointless and goblins don't give great loot either.
Building a decent base takes time. Having to fend off attacks every minute or two is ridiculous.

Mob density is fine, imho. Lightning strikes are an okayish mechanic but poison damage is indeed way too punishing.

When the content is low, its better to make it hard.

it would be nice just to be able to build some defense for your home

Not to mention the Animation sticking going on, you can't even jump to avoid a small root in water, water animations will literally get you insta killed by a rat (they stun you in water because they are faster than you in water) Goblins are also faster in water than you so same insta kill. Water animations are too slow. We should be able to jump higher, goblins and all other enemies can. And WHY does my energy/stamina bar NOT recover fully from a bed rest sometimes and it does from the magical tent camp all the time?
Early access is this? A half baked animation punch to my face! Listen I have over 20 years in Runescape both Old school and RS3 combined, this is not their finest work. They can do better, and have in the past. IMO the solo play is just as hard as if we are in a party of 4, LOTR RTM comes to mind, this game was never made with a single player in mind, only multi players.

Buddy... It's early access give it time, they've released a hotfix everyday since release so far...

His points are still valid, because you don't have any customization options for the world, like all the other survival games.

This mf never played Valheim in his entire life

" Trying to gather resources? "Hunted" enemy pack instantly spawns ontop of me and starts attacking "

" Working at home? Have a "Raid" mobs are instantly on your base breaking everything in sight, "

And I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bet if let's say, there were no hostile mobs in the game, people would also hate that because it's too empty
If there are hostile mobs and are doing the same ♥♥♥♥ how they do in Valheim, it's also no good

Be fck1ng glad we do NOT have a Troll raiding our base

Overall, stfu and wait for more updates, then you can start crying/complaining about whatever you want, the game released 2 days ago


EDIT: Oh, and about the dragon, that mf is 100% annoying
I don't care about the raiding system and hunting, since that ♥♥♥♥ is also on Valheim
But the Dragon raid or whatever it is, that ♥♥♥♥ is indeed ANNOYING
can't even explore the world, chill at my base or build and I see that mf after my ass

Go whine somewhere else, for example on the valheim community.

He is giving feedback about his experience.

Devs care what you feel about the game, they don't want to hear what your ideas of game mechanics should be in the game.

Why the hell is the dragon poison and not fire?

Because there are different elemental dragons in fantasy, not just fire.
Also fire dragon is so overdone, but classic.

Dude! You cannot be serious? Early access games normally have the large kinks finer tuned than this! You can compare this to the worst game on earth pre-release and that worst game is better at animations not sticking in mid air then ending up sandwiched between a chicken and a goblin, which BTW RS chickens and cows are PASSIVE MOBS in RS3 and ALL Runescape games! Kebbits also never attack in Runescape! They will run away and hide in a hidey hole Kebbit nest. With 20+ years into RS I can say this is a fact!

[Wympy]

Totally agree that raid frequency and dragon attacks happen way too often. I really like the game, but this is kinda ruining the experience for me. I am putting it on the back burner until the devs either reduce frequency of these events or introduce customization settings so players can reduce frequency themselves.
