Change the settings properly if your a solo player. My mistake.

[hdridehrd]

Seems the other post was blocked. The game is not designed for solo play. I watched a lot of videos talking about how amazing the devs are and figured I would support them. Maybe amazing for contentment creators but I just see people being made fun of for stating that solo play is horribly unbalanced.

None of the videos show the games difficulty. They are all in iron gear wiping out starter area in the videos if they show any combat. I hit the first major quest of wiping out a barbarian village. I spent a lot of time levelling farming ruins and green crystals crafting and building. I’m level 25 in starter area mask has everything possible unlocked and upgraded all top tier gear in legendary quality. I’m one shot by the village middle boss, after modifying settings to easiest it still took 4 tries to get him he still one shots me. Then the bigger boss behind him takes me out even on easiest.

Then the village respawns while your in it ? Yet no respawn setting in settings.

It’s great fun crafting building but I’m finished if the game is unplayable solo I don’t have any friends to play with so I guess that’s an overpriced game you can do a little crafting and building in the starter area only if your a solo player.

Not every game is for everyone. Give the game some time and return or move on. I think it's the best survivalgame on the planet, and i play solo/singleplayer.

No offense, but looks like gear/skill issue or basic mechanic understanding problems:
- level 25-26 you must wear full bronze set and with Master Craftsman thrall from the first barracks he can craft full legendary weapons and armor set for you in no time
- take good skilled/master warrior companion with -60% damage as companion perk with you. He will help a lot.
- destroy signal fires ASAP to prevent enemy reinforcements
- watch for system messages "camp on common/alert/alarm state"
- 0:01 full respawn, so try to finish barracks before

I wish you luck with next barracks raid.

I’m aprox 50 hours in, I’m just warning any solo players out there as the YouTube videos are very misleading. You really need to play more games if this is the best. It was good but it’s also super janky has an absolutely horrible ui. why is there 4 different menu systems, every other game links them so you don’t need a different key command to open them? Enemies respawning while your in a base that’s a huge no, coding problem for solo players.

I was having a. Lot of fun till that point of raiding a camp. I’m level 25 with all top tier bone armour. Changed settings to easy and still the first area miniboss is super hard. From my understanding I fight two bosses in this camp I was finally able to get the first then camp respawned after third try on the next one. This is a first miniboss I’m half way through my leveling up ability, in the absolute best weapon and armour available on easy it should be an easy fight and it’s super hard. I like to over level and be stronger then my opponents because my ability isn’t the best this game locks you out of that. Even on easy and max level available it feels like a dark souls type battle that’s not at all what I want and not what people lead this game to be.

This game should be advertised as Conan with dark souls difficulty. Not a crafting building survival game.

IT's EA you can basicly adjust every setting and follow theyr QA until they have a re-spawn timer.

[~T~D~]

its really no its badly balanced no matter you gear you always get killed really fast plus the terrible fighting doesnt help with jank

I disagree. It's a challenge for sure but after adjusting some settings, adjusting my tactics and taking some losses I managed to beat the tribal leader. It was very satisfying once I did. All that being said, it is not going to be for everyone so maybe this one is not for you and that's okay. But you shouldn't speak for every solo player.

Are your eyes brown by chance? I mean you're full of it man. Of all the time I've played the game only about 14 hours of it was with a friend yet I've managed quite well

Yawn bad troll bad. I am solo player I do fine they even said in Q and A 2 they gonna have it notify you before a camp starts respawning so you got time to bail sigh. And five buck says you using the starter pawn that is meh at best quality. I got an archer barbian the other day I been using him almost none stop with his skills with bow and spear stuff his level range is freaking easy mode now, and server is on normal diffculty.

I mean you can take npcs with you as well but sounds more like you are not ready for the content and lacking understanding whats going on in game to me. Again you ditch the start scrub for boss fights its in the damn videos and i seen them do it in right bear and show you how to read their attacks, and telling you to use an NPC not you crappy starter toon for boss fights sigh.

I mean you guys are literally trying to face take and basically tyring to do broze leve lstuff with stone weaposn every time you try to do a boss fight with starter char you basically trying to do it on hardcore difficulty lol And reminder you can always RUN from a fight sigh

It may work for some solo, but you can't compare this solo to the solo of other games. So this warning is justified.

Chat level 25. Mask very much upgraded. Gear full max level bone No npc I find they bolt in and draw all agro and whole village storms you. I went in slow sniping one at a time killing going to next till u hit the boss. I can’t find the fires to destroy them and this way I havnt caused an alarm. 1v1 me and the mini boss I tried dual blade and the spear super jab that’s what finally got him. Next mini boss kills me before I can get close enough.

My point is this, I’m half way leveled to max on easiest settings fighting first mini boss of which there will be many more much higher leveled opponents. This one should be not that hard. All videos on the game are misleading showing it as a typical crafting survival game. This is not that. There is also a huge problem with enemies respawning while you are there, that’s a huge no! areas should not respawn while your in them.

The only way I can see this solo playable without a huge challenge is controlling a person with high level ability and change setting to let them level fast so if they die which is permanent then you can level up a replacement quickly.

Settings should be easy for solo, med for challenging solo easy coop, or hard for challenging coop. Not easy still feels liken a souls game. And if that’s what they want it to be, then advertise it as that not as a crafting building survival game they are all pretty easy which is why I like them.

The boss fights don't really scale down for solo play. No amount of words in a forum post will change that fact.

I play with friends, but even I accept this as a failing of the game.

A warning is fine, but op made a declaration.

I made a bold statement so anyone on the fence might actually read it and get an honest opinion. The game has a lot going for it which I see why coop players mad at solo players criticisms but there should be settings to make it playable for all or change its advertising. and what I’m hoping is that devs adjust a setting for solo players. That they fix areas respawning while your in them to me that’s game breaking.

The game has great visuals is fun building crafting early combat is challenging but doable and rewarding then as you progress a little it gets game breaking for solo players with average skills.
