Game too easy ?

[Faitheal]

I feel like it is far too easy and i just plough solo through everything. Level 30, haven't died once. Has it been designed like a mobile game to make you feel powerful or something ? It is getting boring fast.

Level 46 right now and open world is hilarious easy. Some events are a challenge if you solo them but overall .... use the axt, hit and run, loot and repeat

Go fight some bosses, get back to me on the "too easy" part.

AI is mindless. Difficulty is simply cranking their numbers up. Combat is the worst part of this game for me. I enjoy farming, building, running my Moonshine Island. But ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ do I hate it when I have to go clear a Stronghold or fight a Boss. Don't get me wrong, the Bosses are beautiful. But stupid. I just shoot the shiny spot and down they go.

It's like an open world Duck Hunt.

sorry, but they are all too easy. People saying "get to level 50 and fight hard bosses" Oh, so the game gets challenging just at the end ? Very doubtful. I haven't added any buffs to my gear, using a tier 2 crappy ak. it's a joke.

The game is too easy, but as has been pointed out ingame all the servers we are playing on a called "Novice" so for newbies.

Dunno if they plan to add harder worlds and servers and wanted to ease people into it without scaring the off, but yeah for now you can oneshot everything with a sniper that isnt a boss.

[Achillezzz]

we are playing on novice servers. So yah, it's meant to be easy.

my guess is that they thought if the game was challenging, no one would buy the cosmetics. It's straight up mobile game marketing mentality. The majority of modern gamers do not like a challenge. They want to win win win all the time, and if they can't do so immediately, they give up.

Their is a vast difference between easy and brain dead. Enemies, human enemies, will stand in the open a while being shot in the face. All the while, his buddy 3 feet away hasn't even reacted to his bro getting beaned.

I can run into a room, clear the junk and open a crate while enemies just stand in the room.
Enemies shot in the back will slowly turn around, look at you, continue to eat a lead breakfast, then react after a comically long time. Again, while his buddy reminisces about the days of internet and phone porn, not bothering to acknowledged that death has come.

The world events are either 1) 12 living statues in the fog. Or 2) A horde with a death-wish that will fly straight into a rain of bullets. And fishing, that works fine.

Hopefully they are using this 6 weeks and cash influx to bump up the combat AI and variety.

the game is a mobile game, it's available on the app store, the balancing is around the mobile demographic

This is the unfortunate truth. Any difficulty will always be viewed through the lens of "Can a player kill this group with their fat thumbs covering half the screen?"

If it's a yes, then M&K players will always be Gods.

Depends on player level and gear but yeah, the game isn't overly diffficult. ...Which I'm happy about bc then my other half can play with me.

That's normal for MMOs.

Might not be normal for shooters, but the enemy AI in MMOs has never been complex.

one small corner offering some degree of challenge negates the entire open world and levelling section being face roll pointless?
