What the heck combat

[meco]

What the heck, bring back cozy mode! I love this game but I hate combat, and I'll hit the spiders SO many times with my whip and nothing happens but they one shot me and I die immediately, Seriously??

My whip is only one slot from maxed and they still kill me. Everything depends on those webs which do not drop as often as they should. Fix the light house....silk. Fix the bridge...silk...craft...silk. Played for over 2 hours and after deaths had 2 silk ropes! That's 4 silk! I loved the demo but this is starting to make me not want to recommend this game to anyone :(

A "cozy" game should not have combat at all and when you die you lose some random stuff too. It is not what i like. There are other games for that kind of challenges. I will stop playing until they change this (loosing stuff).

P.S. i forgot to mention that the upgraded tools will not get better or faster, still one item per "harvest".

Your one stop shop for silk honestly is simply the cobwebs in the temples. Don't bother with spiders.

They take about 6-8 hits. Just kite them around a rock, you can swing through rocks and they can't. Or alternatively, just avoid them, they won't appear often if you don't hit the crystal rocks.

As I really like to mine without having to worry I would love to have an option that lets you turn off fighting inside the caves like we had in the demo (I don't mind the bats as a challenge in the ruins though).

Editing my post, I've changed from spiders to ghosts and i have my whip upgraded to iron, i can kill the ghosts with 3 strikes. Still one hit kill from them though. Spiders i still couldn't kill with iron whip. But hey its an improvement.

I really wish they would allow for no combat as an option.
I was so confused when I started up and it didn't ask me what mode I wanted to play, I thought since cozy mode was in the demo they would bring it over to the full game, but I guess not...
I think it's the one hit kill on the player that makes it horribly unfair, in my opinion. If I can't kill them in one hit then they shouldn't be able to kill me in one. The bats would be fine though, they just knock stuff out of your inventory from what I've seen, frustrating, but manageable.

yeah, no cozy mode makes it a non purchase for me too, it was part of the appeal

Same here. I was about to buy it, when I read about how they handle the "cozy" part now - you still die, but don't loose stuff, "only time". So you still forced to fight - how is that "cozy"?!

There is now a mod on Nexus to completely turn off the ghosts/spiders. The only "combat" I've seen after using this mod are bats. The modder said he would be adding to the mod in the near future. Works great!!

+1 no combat-free mode no buy

Not going to start looking into mods (and if or how I could get them to work on my Linux system). I'll rather play games that actually want me as a target audience.

You do not lose anything if you die from the spiders, if need to if they see you smack them and run to get away, also upgrade your whip.

Ok, bye xD

It is amazing how people have become lazy.... The game forces you to think and already people are crying on the discussion forum because of it XD

I'd rather them bring the cozy mode back so they can improve the combat system without having the people who hate combat complain about it. For starters it'd be nice to have some more enemy types.
