Difficulty

[Horteo]

Hi,

With the patch, V-Blood scaling difficulty got introduced. As I play usually solo, I modified my Server and added some more HP, Damage and Damage reduction to my Vamp.

But since the patch, I feel pretty overpowered due to the introduced scaling feature. But I'm still in T1.

Is this an new "learning curve" and it gets later again harder, or is it no longer required to modify game settings to have it adjusted for singleplayer?

No need to change anything for solo except to reduce grind.
Some bosses are always easy and some will murder you in a second.

It does get harder later, you can always change the values yourself manually mid-playthrough through the files themselves.

Setting then on 'default' as a single player is great if you're a dark souls enjoyer.
But if you just want to enjoy the game and feel strong? Nah, set it up higher.

They introduced scaling? Here i thought I was getting my ass kicked because it wasn't balanced for solo, but I guess i just suck.

Yes bosses now scale to the number of people in the area. I set my health and damage on 2 to make myself a little more powerful.

I'm reaching the point of it being unplayable solo so i'm guessing i'll need to nerf the enemies in the settings. They don't give you good enough gear to progress naturally come Act 2 and the sheer damage they require you to do is bizarre compared to what you're gear can actually manage. I have all Iron Weapons with Hallowfang and can't beat anything past Tristan because everyone add spams you so you get swarmed by 30 enemies that take 20+ hits to kill but can kill you in a matter of 4-5 hits IF you're lucky since what they'll probably do is hit you with a 2 hit kill.
I just killed Mereditch because she ran into a bunch of undead and got a quarter of her health wiped and I jumped in to cheese her and she still almost won because she kept spawning shield adds and dashing around for invincibility frames so all my spells even if they connected wouldn't damage her
