Raiding a bandit camp, such Bull****

[Bill the Butcher]

It says reinforcements incoming, but you can look for them outside the camp. So I go in circles for like 15 minutes trying to find these guys and I can't. Without doing this the camp is super hard to beat, and it says it's average difficulty. Average my ass, it's one of the hardest missions I've had so far. It's just frustrating cause I can't find these guys anywhere near the camp

1 Skull isn't a big issue if your team is well equiped. but 3 skulls those are a LOT of Reinforcements. and they keep dropping till unless you manage to kill the map before they drop.

Anyway in the past with a 3skull bandit lairs it would show the total numbers.
And usually it was around 3,5 times your party size. leading to a long drawn out waiting game for AI to act and be done.

Does the loot scale to the number of kills too?

Probably not.

Did a 15 minute fight against 9 AI and got like 60 something XP.

Did a ghost pack which took roughly a minute and got 40 ish xp.

XP doesn't scale well. Loot not well either.

This is not wrong. Bandit camps and guard fights now all get reinforcements.. I think twice.. Makes the fight harder but still winnable... This is because the people who hate the game trolled for harder battles. The devs provided...

has nothing to do with hating the game. i love tha game but lets be honest most of the fights were just a bit of a challenge early on and after lets say level 5 your group was just impossible to kill. THAT drew every fun out of the game for most players who like a challenge.
it is just my opinion but if you cant win a fight of find it unbeatable... improve on your strategy, equipment, troup-layout. there are so many options to help you win fights, its just a matter of finding a way that works for YOU.

i have to admit that the balance between "easy-mode" and the "hard-mode" is a bit off and should be adressed so all the casual afternoon player can enjoy the game too, but dont cry for an easier game just because you are unable to see the fun in challenges that are absolutely fine for most players

Give it UP level 1-5 is less then level 6-12 , yes Level 1-5 was really fun at early access.
But they moved on from that, so you can keep replaying level 1-5 all day long if you want.
But the next tier is 6-9.
then your final tier is 10-12 where the challenge is.
It is over that system of Consitution and stats matter has been dropped.
For GEAR HEAVY equipping.

@drake_hound

i am already in my level 12-14 troop phase and i play on hard. i see the chalenge and i like it.
the gear matters obviously, but i dont see the problem in that, since you get ressources thrown at you at an incredible rate in 1.0
i remember myself in the EA when you got somewhat like 4 pieces of iron out of an ore vein... now i get 14 iron, 4-5 grey whatever, 3-4 aethrit and a $hitton of gems

maybe i do not really get what you want to tell me, but i hope we dont talk about the same stuff and its just my silly arse that mistakes it for something totally different xD
