Refining event is too difficult

[Lyrdian]

There is NO reason a lvl 5 refining event should be as hard as it is. The mobs have HP surpassing most lvl 10 mobs, and there are SO many. The guns in this game dont do the kind of damage needed for this event, at least at the early levels.

Cut down a few trees before doing them and spam wooden boxes/log stores. Gives you so much time to kill everything before they can even touch the refiner.

not sure how i am supposed to do that, my house is a 4x4 yet it seems like my territory has no free space. Kinda stupid you need to exploit the ai being stupid to do this>.>

OH you mean the starchrom refining base defense type thing. Yeah probably best to wait til u have some defenses like spikes, turrets, etc. Can also wait til u have territory expansion so u have more room to build/defend

i JUST found the territory expoansion. I was thinking we were stuck to the little square we started with, that SHOULD make this easier, along with restructuring my house so all my improtant stuff is not near ground level.

Also, The first attempt was on me. Second attempt still blew dog water for a lvl 5 activity, but was able to do it solo. I didnt realize it refined more than one at a time so me dumping 15 of them in there probably had something to do with me getting absolutely destroyed LOL

LOL yeah it'll refine as much as u put in at least tier wise. Yeah I didn't fully know what to expect when I first tried it (way later into the game, at tungsten level) and I lost some stuff in my crafting room. I got more turrets up and if I wanted to do more I'd make 2nd floor and put my important stuff there. I personally uninstalled tho, lost interest in this game for a multitude of reasons. Only thing I pretty much enjoyed was the base building, the defense is fun tho, wish I could keep doing it but don't have the stuff to initiate the starchrom refining.

No the game is easy because the AI is braindead. But if you're not prepared they will still pose a threat because they become bullet sponges. I'm in Tungsten tier and have yet to die. Most boss attacks you can just hold A or D and sidestep their attacks. The AI arent aggressive enough to be considered real threats. They pose a bigger threat towards an undefended base than they do you. Even Rosetta with guns are a breeze.

-The majority of this game is just poor AI pathing/attacks
-Sidestep boss attacks while taking them out of their invuln phase, they give you 50 years to do so between attacks
-weird af gimmicks/balancing like Prime War.

There is no real challenge and if there is, it's because the enemy has become a bullet sponge beyond what they should be at that level. Even Admiral Bahroo a streamer was enjoying the game but after getting to try out Phase 2 content like Prime War and then realizing that we have to wait an additional 2 weeks before getting to progress the story (phase 4) it pretty much took all enthusiasm out of him for playing the game. Not to mention the grinding it takes to get to a good spot (he had a huge warband at his back) just for it to be wiped out due to the seasonal wipes. There is a lot of cons for this game which is why I uninstalled. No real threat, no respect for time, weird AF gimmicks that feel like they weren't thought out, arbitrary time gating on content, and other weird issues like paid cosmetics and stuff not being shared across all characters which they don't even plan on fixing until Aug. 1st.

Not remotely true, the only way you wont get your territory expansion in phase one is if you either start late or don't play the game at all. I had my territory expansion on day one.
