Game too hard

[DoNotAimAtMe]

Hello,

I don't actually think the game is bad, but it's too difficult even on Relaxed.

I'm now in the part where I'm supposed to kill butcher X but I'm pretty much instantly dead.

I have everything on bronze but somehow it doesn't help.

I threw containers at the butcher and worked on him with mittens, no chance :/

PS. Playing solo.

I don't know if the difficulty level has anything to do with it but I play on medium level and I have to say it's more like a Souls like survival crafting game or it's totally unbalanced. I'm not sure yet but for me it looks like I can't even get out of the jungle into another area because there are already enemies that are over level 30 and destroy me hard. Because I'm currently at level 25 with I think mask level 19.

I wanted to help my clan member who had been kidnapped and taken to a barbarian village to be sacrificed.
I took my best fighter with me.
We wiped out the whole village except for the priest and priestess!
The priestess then killed my fighter.
I almost defeated both of them, but they heal really quickly.
You don't stand a chance!
Then all the previously dead, very healthy, fell from the sky and I just managed to get out of the village.

I don't think that's for single players!

For me on Solo my first few encounters with Jaguars, Alligators, Anaconda etc. were terrifying and deadly. I play on Normal mode. As I moved from staring to mid level I had to learn to dodge and block. Otherwise you will be food. Once I learned how to dodge and block I have to say its not easy but becomes doable.

Fighting bigger mobs requires back and forth and even using terrain to run around kiting while I heal bandage up to finally take them down.

One issue for me is the 50 rank cap for PC. That to me does not make sense. Tribesman can max at 150 why not the PC? Makes it so you almost have to use Tribesman mid/late game and run the risk of loosing them permanently to death. Really sux with the cap of 16 villagers.

You pretty much have to grind out skill ranks and focus your Tribesman into areas of expertise with several "Legendary" fighters solely dedicated to combat to be able to survive long term Solo.

Bosses heal when they leash too dar from their spawn point, you need to fight them in their areas.
At 0001 on the game clock, dungeons and barracks reset and all enemies respawn. Need to keep an eye on the time.

That + about a 30 min respawn timer. I was in middle of trying to solo a Boss Villager at a POI when the minions started falling out of the sky (respawning). Suxed hard. I had him down to 50% and was looking forward to taking him for my own. Had to hightail it out of there fast. PS reason that happen is he killed me first time I ran back got my stuff, healed up and started the fight with him again, by than the respawn timer hit.

Essentially you have to plan bigger fights. Take a bit of time, building yourself a respawn point nearby so you can run back quick if you die. Otherwise trekking back and forth long distances will surely result in you returning to a fully respawned camp. That is bad when fighting the large camps and you die in the middle of it. No way to get your stuff back at that point.

I agree, it's a bit annoying. I've tried to kill the Flint's tribe chief around 15 times, I kill everyone on the camp, including reinforcement using a lvl 20 master warrior as companion without too much effort, I'm lvl 19. The chief kills me in 2 or 3 hits, same to my companion. The combination of poison+debuffs+300 hp blows and executions makes it unfair. I have the best possible armour at that level which combined with foods gives me 1k+ HP. If you run to heal or cure poison he just goes back 10 steps and regenerates to full hp. Melenia from Elden Ring kind of feeling.

Considering how fast the combat goes, they really need to implement full controller support. I've soloed three and four villagers with ease, but wildlife is a different matter. If I hadn't had a villager with me the first time I encountered an alligator, I'd have been dead - whoever heard of alligators leaping 15 feet forward after dashing 20 feet at high speed.

LOL, yes my first encounter with an alligator was frightening and ... deadly. Having said that once I cleaned myself up (changed my pants) and went back downing them was far easier than say a Jaguar.

It's too annoying and frustrating for me for now, either that changes at some point and becomes balanced or I'm out of the game :/

It's terribly annoying running around.

[GreyDev1l.TTV]

out of all the mobs.... bush dogs.... they are horrendously dangerous! like they cant seem to be staggered at all!

[Skawn]

I find knowing what is or isn't a challenge; the levels don't seem like a good guide.

I've been merrily killing pairs of lvl 20 bush dogs with no problem.

Then encountered a single lvl 15 one which proceeded to absolutely destroy me twice.

I actually like the difficulty of the game, like a true survival game should be.
I just hope they made sure the game is possible for singleplayer.
About the difficulty levels i agree.

I agree and it's even more rewarding in open PvP looking over your back.
