Too easy?

[The_Thing]

I started the game on expeditioner (normal) difficulty, and while the game was challenging, by the end of act 2 my characters where so strong, they literaly 2 hit all story bosses. I was a bit dissapointed by that, so I set the difficulty to expert and still Verso literaly one the final boss. There was 0 challenge by the end, except for a few world bosses. Is NG+ going to be significantly harder?

maybe try out a few of the optional bosses in act 3 you will see quite fast with them having millions of hp , multi hit combos and special mechanics that req you to do specific setups or being a parry god because every single attack they do can oneshot you

In a thread here somewhere someone said in NG+ the highest HP boss was 67m, idk if the game scales per NG+ but if it does, NG+++ (3rd NG+) would make it even higher

So you played through the whole game on normal, got a pretty high level, switched to expert and one shot the end boss? Okay? You chose not to play it on the hard difficulty and then are surprised that it isn't that hard....obviously that is gonna be a thing. Had you played on expert from the beginning, I don't think you would be saying the same thing. That's the equivalent of wanting ketchup on a burger, ordering it without ketchup, then putting ketchup on the burger for the last bite and being disappointed that it didn't have ketchup on the entire thing. You chose that route.

the game can be easy, but you have one boss hard if you have no, one shot build , do you know "Simon"?

Expert only makes the enemy do more damage, doesn't do anything else.

And yes, after like half of act 1, the game becomes too easy, even on expert.

If you have played games before, you should probably know that there is a difference between easy and normal mode. The game even though is amazing, the characters scale so much late game, that it practically feels like you play it on easy. So no, when I play a game in normal mode I expect to to be somewhat challenging and not extremely easy.

Expert doubles the enemy HP. The guy is clearly using some meme build he found online.

Actually, I didn't. Don't project your thoughts and actions upon me.

Oh lmao. Then I could probably beat expeditioner with my eyes closed. Also unless you are literally braindead, it is impossible to not one turn kill everything besides simon

Do the trials. Those are challenging. Then the elder ring boss. That one is insane.

It's not about being "braindead", it's about being reasonable. Sure I could put together some 1HP confident build, but I choose not to, because I still want to actually play the game rather than press a "skip combat" button.

Curious to know what kind of build you were using if you thought the game was "too easy" OP, care to share with the rest of the class?

Expert makes the timing window for parry and dodge lower, so along with scaling enemies stats up, you also have a harder time to parry or dodge.
