Combat is too easy

[DaddiesLoad]

I guess I'm in the minority but I wish we could tune combat higher. I have to run around almost nude to even have a challenge. Get all this cool looking armor just to have to run around in noble clothes just to not decimate everyone in a 5v1 fight is wild. Seeing all the people on here whine about it being hard is beyond me, I feel like half of you just stand there and get smacked in the face the entire time and then wonder why you're dying.

Warhorse cannot win, in KCD 1 people was saying combat was too difficult,

Now in KCD 2, its the opposite, i guess they cannot please everyone and give us the option of KCD 1 style combat for us veterans.

This is the easiest combat I have seen in a game in the last 15 years or so. I don't know what they were thinking when they designed it. Otherwise plays and feels good.

this is s troll. weird.

i hope they will build on the hardcore mode they had in the first game.

besides the debuffs that we can choose at the beginning of a hardcore run, it would be nice if you could also adjust some sliders at the same time.

for example:

- damage dealt
- damage recieved
- chance of injury
- bleedout timer
- perfect block window/master strike window
- hunger/thirst/sleep rate
- weapon/armor degradation

that way everyone could make his own game as challenging or easy as he wants.

Look at recent discussions 'Combat is trash' is the most popular thread that speaks of how easy and dumb the combat is.

'I guess I'm the minority'
'seeing all the people on here whine about it being hard'

Huh?

I know what you mean , but there are great mods for making the combat harder: Install Better combat and all its optional files besides the one with stamina, then install realistic Plate armor the lite version and weapon rebalance mod. With these you will see your game will be so much harder .

Nah, Experience gain needs to slow down... like 0.5x... then, you wont be overleveled fast for the late game..

There are great mods for that too

[JaM]

yeah, im using them... reduced XP gain to 60% of original, plus, im using mod that allows me to manually adjust certain XP gaining activities, to tone it down a bit further, while not making those which are hard to level impossible.

Yes, good sir, you're 100% correct. However, it's a) softcore b) combat was never the main game feature of KCD games. And yes, I understand that they added much more combat in the KCD2 plot, but it's quite harder than common combat because enemy chars wear helmets in Suchdol.

Combat in KCD1 was terrible. While it is easier in KCD2, it's very smooth and makes you actually feel like you have some modicum of skill on the battlefield since you've been doing it since the beginning of KCD1 in the story.

[Thorba]

It is really the only flaw atm for me that combat at late game is way too easy and the battles against more npcs (like at the sieges) end up in total chaos most of the time.
The game shines at 1vs1 combat and that only if you not total overleveled.

[Psycho_Soyer]

It definitely is too easy.

[Amiga500]

It is easy as soon as you max out and have all crucial perks. In the 30th mainquest "Reckoning" I slaughterd like 40 guards and the camp was almost emtpy. You just rip them asunder 1 by 1 after all.

The combat system is going to be rebalanced - make harder in an upcoming patche.
