80 minutes of gameplay for 1700 skulls is insulting
Died on the 5th mission with the wolf boss with a sniper rifle. Took 80 minutes to get there because of the sheer volume of the map size and how long it takes the orcs to walk anywhere. Got 1700 skulls. Bought a few skill perks that don't in any way make me feel more powerful.

When I consider how many perks there are, how many Threads there are, how many upgrades there are etc. and how much time I spent playing, this seems WAY to low. I love the game but not "almost an hour and a half to barely make a scratch in progression" love.

Can we double the rewards or cut the upgrades required in half?

A big problem with previous games is maxing out too fast, and then skulls became useless.

You didn't get 1700 for 80 minutes, you gambled to continue forward. You could've returned to bank your higher reward without spending the extra time to die and lose what you gambled.

That's true. Risk vs Reward.

personally im pro the gambling, but i feel you can also make an argument for bosses not being gambling because you have no real way of knowing how to even do the fight unless you forcibly gamble forward.

The progression system is fantastic. If anything, I wouldve loved to see you be able to go from like wooden version of things to metal like in OMDU, after getting everything 5 star (trap tree) wise. That would be cool. Then you can go even further, and would compliment endless one day. As we know those of us who play long enough wont need to worry about the first few missions as they will be much easier to deal with. There could even be some sort of higher challenge stuff in the future that could benefit from having higher tiers of the traps that could work with it maybe?

Valid point but gambling forward is also the only way to continue to progress, unless someone wants to run the same easy mission over and over.

People really gotta stop complaining about stuff because they just want to rush through a game for achievements and then abandon it.

The pacing is fine. Its way better than previous games.

There are valid criticisms on this board but there are also a lot from people who just want an easy ride so they can one and done the game and then complain there isn't enough content.

I'm not looking for an easy grind but I also have a life and can't dedicated 1000 hours to this game just to be OP. Nothing wrong with tweaking progression to make it a bit easier.

Not valid, I have played 12 hours now, and we beat the boss. got paid out 1200 skulls on our run. Weve done multiple 2 mission runs, slowly trying new traps, most traps only 2 star upgraded. Game is honestly amazing. You cant not be actually playing it and crying to try ruin it for those of us who are enjoying it...

Game is great, progression is great since it was tweaked on day 1. I'm gonna go ahead and say skill issue. :awkward:

"we" You're playing co-op, I'm talking solo experience.

That's fine. They're looking for feedback, I'm providing my perspectives. They may not be the same as yours and that's okay. It's entirely possible to tweak things to make it a bit less frustrating for some players while having little to no impact on the diehards.

i was trying out new character bear in solo, he was perfect for sniper wolf Mission run.

I play solo in between all the time. And same thing honestly. Occasional leak now and then. Comes down to what threads you get too. Cant just be super OP.
