Character should not be THAT week!

[quetzaquotl]

I am harvesting wood - killed by a spyder. I am scouting new species - killed by a spyder. And so on.
Since you are not pushed automaticly out of the current action you loose so much health until you eventually get out of the task, that it means in most cases death and restart from the respawn point - witch seams to be atm always your village. (I suppose the tent acts as respawn later, but I am not this far atm.)
So - @devs - plz make the char mor robust at the beginning, it is quite frustrating for a game, that is supposed to be a more cosy game.

I have yet to learn a single weapon and have been killed by those spiders at least 6 times. At least half the times I never saw them. Sometimes it was 2 spiders attacking me at the same time. There are just way too many spiders in the starting area. I did kill one with my hatchet.

Might be worth finding the wither infested node and destroying it with your amulet to lower the density of the spawns in your area.

Oh? I've seen some black kind of smoke. Had no idea I could destroy that or even that it was there. Wasn't wanting to explore too much with no weapon.

Did you get the Spear weapon? I only used it a few times. Kills seem faster using it.

Not yet, I assume I will get it when I can craft the workbench or complete the the huntress task, but I am missin one animal to scan, found only 2 yet.

Ok. So Ive been playin for 8 hours and this game is perfectly balanced.

For those having an issue at beggining of the game with spiders, extremely easy to deal with.

1st - harvesting is extremely fast, which means all those getting attacked while harvesting are not paying attention to the warning signals that there are spiders around! Even the music plays differently when your in combat. Do not engage in harvesting while a spider is around.

2nd - I keep 10 or more stones on me everywhere I go in the beginning. You can toss the stones. to shots kills spiders! Also for combat, extremely easy. You cannot get attacked by spider if you move when they hunch. So when a spider hunches, move to the side, and the spider only jumps to the spot you were last in. Then you have 2 seconds to throw 2 stones at it. Easy kill. I have not died by spiders at all. Once you kill the 1 or 2 spiders in an area, they dont respond for a while unless your by a Spider nest. Also easy to kill. Walk up to nest, wait till all 2 or 3 spiders come at you. Wait for Hunch, move to side, STONE STONE STONE, and the stones are quick to throw. Also they take 1 second to pick up X 10 Stones that you through out. SOOOO EASY. Once spiders dispatched, walk up to nest and hold E to destroy it. No more nest, No more spiders. :)

okay, your first point and your general judging is quite arrogant, but the second is considdered to be tried out (throwing stones).
btw as a day one soulsborne fan I have no problems killing spiders with the axe if I am free roaming and not in the middle of chopping a tree or using the shovel etc.
In other games you are interrupted when being under attack...

Very interesting...

I guess the next time I'm in the mood for some "science", that encourages me to try and throw every throwable item in the game at enemies to see if I can find something ridiculously strong and easier to get than stones.

So. Please keep your coments civil. We understand there are those that believe they are greater than GOD and dont require any help. This post is not for you. Stop being a hater, and move on. As for those who are begginers, and need this information, I have another great tid bit.

At the beggining of the game, every time you grab a berry bush, or dig something up, you get hurt. Some dont understand why that is happening. Top right hand corner of your screen you will have your seed points, or currency of sorts. this Goes up when you...
1. Plant vegitation
2. Feed an animal
3. And most important, and rewarding is distroying a spiders nest.

Search out these nests at the beggining of the game, destroy as many as you can, and every time you berry pick or resource collect, the moralality of your actions will take it out on your seed curency and not your health. :)

Cheers.

You can dodge with CTRL, just some friendly info-..

No, you can´t doge if you in the middle of a task, harvesting with the shovel for example. That´s the point.

The game plays music when you're engaged in combat with something. You shouldn't do a task while that music is playing.

[Omence072]

Music, creature noise, literally illuminated parts on creature. What else do you need lol

Do the Hoa quest line, she gives you a bow and spear and unlocks them all in one go. It's one of the first few quests after plopping village.

Sounds to me like a major skill issue.
I kill spiders w 2 hit with the spear and kill their nest so easy , are you harvesting stuff with 1 hp left?

Eat berries or roots for healing, you get a free bow and spear after talking to the hunter right after finishing the farming village.

Keep in mind, there there is no order to the first few quests. There are like 6 or so quests and many of them can be done in any order. You can place the village. You can place the colossal tree (maybe right by the spiders like I did). You can then upgrade the tree and in the process die like 5 times from the spiders.

The spiders are small and you are very weak. They kill you almost instantly. I didn't even see them the first time one killed me. The 2nd time, I tried to kill it, but failed. Then I tried to run away, but somehow got killed. Killed one. Got killed a few more times. Tried to do the Hoa quest by looking at a spider, got killed again. Looked at something else with the scope thing, a spider killed me while do that.

There are too many freaking spiders if you place your village and tree near them. This whole random setup of the starting area can leave some players with a really bad starting setup. I'm tempted to just wait a few weeks for them to make a few changes with the hope that they fix the Hoa quest so you are not a sitting duck while trying to get a new species information. Also really, why no weapon at all for as much as 2 hours of initial game play?

The game supposedly has a tutorial at the beginning. For all of us that have never played animal crossing and all the other games that this is based on, the game should explain the above, which as far as I can tell, it does not. This is the fault of the game, not the players. I've never played a single Nintendo game, which seem to be what these game developers have based this game on.

A little later, she gives a Sword, too. That said, since you now reappear in your village if you die, with all your stuff and 50% HP (it used to be pretty much zero % a day ago), I found it more convenient to just die if I was low on HP. 👍
