Make the game harder

[Haggen]

In PvE is very easy to beat all monsters. To get a challange you have to advance to higher levels, but this mean to skip content.
If not in this season, make mobs harder to beat, harder to run away or with a higher count rate, whatever doesn't crash the game, but make it more enjoyable.
Kinda boring to keep walking and killing everything without much challange.

im an over preparer- crafting all this stuff with my friend getting hundreds of medical stuff, only to fight a boss and be like- "oh" "its over"

I don't mind the difficulty, or lack thereof, too much. If anything its the flood of experience that is heavy handed. You can practically all but ignore the side missions as there is little need for levelling. The only exception is that certain missions might award you with an interesting blueprint but its hard not to over level your gear in no time.

I do like to explore every inch of a game, so making all the blue quests made me lot of stronger on zones which I hadn't visited yet. This means for me the game was either designed for ppl who likes hard mode to skip content, or to focus the hard game on pvp, but I do like hard pve as well, and very bored on pvp content cause it can be stressful and nihilist (specially in high risk games) .

Last week was the nub stage and now we're at the semi-normal, have fun with elemental damage and high stardust pollution stage. If you're so bored go join Prime War with people below lvl 40 and watch as everyone gets wiped when the boss finally does that AoE. Normal basic enemies are easy at best, but the new minibosses and bosses are annoying. Maybe you're still new and are still in the nub areas, if you find it too easy, go try out the newly unlocked areas. Have fun with the pollution tho.

LOL were only on phase 2 of the first season weve still the season boss,hard modes,ultimate modes and what ever other suprises the devs have coming..consider this just warming us up for whats gonna hit us

[Navari]

Have to agree parts of the game need a little more challenge to an extent but honestly its always going to be cake when you can shoot the legs and arms off pretty much everything and leave them gimped. I like to just shoot the arms and legs off zombies and just leave them laying there as speed bumps in the road.

+1 .... the game difficulty is a joke ... i dont expect a darksouls but when you craft the most basic weapon and you can go oneshoting everything and when the enemy hit you barely makes you a scratch (Even bosses) makes the game feel pointless . Not to mention the deviant that heals you in seconds , stupidly op .

[Watkins.NMC]

The game will never be 'hard' as they want people to spend money and not be put off. You can make the game hard for yourself very easily or you can completely overpower even the hardest bosses/instances, nothing is stopping you trying say a level 40 mission with low tier gear. Easy for one is not necessarily easy for another and there are a few encounters at end game that require a fair few deaths.

The only "hard" part of the bosses are the bugged attakcs and the wonky movements (i had bosses proyectiles teleported , glitched walls , spike lags that send your crosshair to the other side of the screen , enemies having spike lags and acelerate themself , and a faily large "etc" ) .... and even then with all that "artificial" dificulty , they have absolute no challenge .

You want a challenge play naked with only throwing knives I was doing it earlier and its kind of fun.

All FROMSOFT games prove the right opposite of this. As a player of those games, and Project Zomboid, which are really challenging games that troves to explore the deeps of survival, I do not think this game need bureaucracy on it's core mechanics. All the quality of life aspects are good, but the lack of real peril certainly gonna make this game loose players faster then if it was harder

The hype is a train, but it can be left at any moment when another game comes with bigger hype.

Valheim and Project Zomboid, both has between 10-20k players constantly online. This game can be empty very fast if bad decisions are made, and challenging content is one of the thing that stick players to it.

yea other than soloing the shadow dog i havent encountered another difficult, save a couple 1 shots from open world elite mechanics the first time i encountered them (the stoplight guy lol). i think they're easing people into the game with this "novice" season. perhaps a bit too much easing.

Here, let me help you think since you're struggling so hard with it.

We are on Novice right now. Next season, you can ramp up the difficulty. Then, it gets harder.

You're welcome.
