Skill capped at 50

[Paper]

How do you increase the combat skill prof cap past 50. Is it a mask upgrade or a different mask or something? My friends and I are trying to figure it out.

[Klaynes]

Dang, I wasn't expecting that either. That sucks. I'm sure someone will MOD in what the devs are too blinded by a vision to implement.
Or maybe they will see this and re-think. If there is enough momentum for this they may adopt it. They have been pretty good so far.

FAQ:3 They finally listening to the community, lets wait and see what they up to.

@paper why disappointing? surely its the same game no matter who your controlling, I look at it from a hive mind mentality, Why yes the queen bee controls, but the hive does all the leg work.

simply put the char u made is useless fodder?:P how is that not a dissapointment

This whole "you are the mask" crap is why I won't be playing anymore lol. I bought three copies of this crap because I thought it had potential but why even have a character creator in the game if you are NOT intending to play the character that you Customized and played from the beginning. Just remove the character creator all together.

Well its back to Enshrouded for me :)

lol i find it increasingly funny.

you know what the level cap on conan is? 60. at level 60 you stop getting knowledge points.

people made a mod to break this limit. i dont know why people are acting like other games in this genre dont do this. its not new.

If one thing is to be taken from all these tears running down your cheeks, it is that they need to add in a way to edit everything all the way down to gender on the thralls.

That way you can create your little animé wifu on them instead.

Maybe launch a adult website instead of the game, if playing as other characters ruin your life so much. This feature gives so much depth to the game, and it separates it from all other games like it in the genre.

In what world does it make sense, that you who holds all the knowledge, would go out and expose yourself to constant danger. That's for the grunts to do. Get a poster, a girlfriend or some movies. And wait for mods to come out or smth.

I kind of hate this. I'd rather get a recruit with a trait or proficiency cap I want and saxrifice them to steal it. I know the mask swapping is the point of the game and all but I don't like the idea of abandoning my character.

[That Guy]

Basically the character you create is worthless mask filler, but why would everyone else follow some useless husk? Can't fight, can't craft, can't do anything even half as well as anyone else. Why are they following them? It's just a stupid concept.

Why are ppl so fixated on playing a 1 min character created toon, its a pixelated toon not you IRL. The creators had a vision on how they wanted the game to be played with tribesman and many love that idea, me included. If you dont like the fact that you have to use tribesman other than the MC then its a you problem not a creator or game problem. There are so many other games where you can play and customize your created MC but oh this game is so fun except you cant utilize your MC like every other game.

The reason you get different tribesman is to find different talents and proficiency caps to fight different parts of the game. You look for a 120 proficiency Hammer tribesman to fight some dungeons, 120 Bow for aerial encounters, 120 dual blade/Gauntlets for high dps and spear/sword + shield for tanking etc. If lucky you can find one with 2 or 3 proficiencies that are 120.
If the MC had all of this power there would be no point in recruiting tribesman aside from crafters but I'm sure you want your MC to be the best at that too.

Get out of the mentality of what other games do. This developer had an idea and its a great one.
The only thing I do agree with is they can make the created character do camp upkeep so its not a wasted slot, other than that you should have to look for tribesman and play as them.

Well if the MC was exactly the same as any other tribesman, than it would be pretty obvious you are not meant to play it to end game. It is instead quite different, and crippled. The crippled part you don't really find out about until you have invested many hours in the game. Which many think those hours are in their character, but I think maybe the mask really?

I honestly don't get this game design. It makes no sense to me, never seen anything remotely like it (maybe some other games do it, but never played any like that). When you go into a game that looks a lot like Conan Exiles, but with automation, you think that is what you are getting. It is a pretty rude surprise (not in a good way at all), when you find it is something completely different.

So we don't have to like the devs design. We can hate it if we want. We can't refund either at this point, hence some of the hate in these forums for the game.

You can play to end game with your created char. You can use them as a scout into new regions or dungeons. You can gauge what you're getting into and if you die you can res and try again before you make a serious attempt with your tribesman.
The fact that you said you've never seen this in any other game is what they were going for. They want to bring something fresh and new.
Early game isn't a good way to feel out how the tribesman work towards later game but there is so much more by playing multiple tribesman and so many hours you can invest in trying to find one that you feel is best.
I'm in no way trying to tell people what to like or dislike or even how to play but it's pretty harsh to criticize a developer for trying something different that may not be what you like.
The developers themselves said they will make it so the game can be modded, in the mean time you can play as they envisioned or not and wait for mods.

I personally haven't done any harsh criticism that I can think of, but this is the steam forums on the internet, so not surprising some would go there. I've chosen to stop playing, only playing just a little to try out things I read here, but not doing much in game right now. I can certainly empathize with those that don't like the game though. Normally a game that has single player doesn't require you tweak the setting so much to actually be able to progress in single player. It is early access of course. I expect that will change eventually.

Yea, this needs to change. We create our own character and want to be able to play our own character without being gimped. Allow us to absorb traits/skills somehow. Or at the very least, remove the cap for the main character, that is just awful design.

Yeah.... No...

Just because the game is not what YOU wanted does not mean the rest of us do not enjoy it.

That’s where choice comes in… if they add in the ability to replace your starting character with another tribesman you don’t have to do it if you like him being a gimp.

So heres the issue and reason that you don't understand.

1. There is no main character.

2. You are the researcher, so being distracted with mundane work is dumber than dumb.

3. You hold the key to ancient knowledge, why risk the beautiful brain you've got.
