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

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.

play with your settings. my problems the opposite. i wanted easy but i way out done myself on that :( i guess thats why i always prefer official servers. so i cant make my game stupid easy. imma keep trying this solo player 1st though.

since some settings are changed i guess todays a good day to make it not sooo easy. its a tough balance though. i dont want it to be to grindy but atm i hit 1 tree and im pretty much good for the entire game ntm the trees already back so i guess i will have to dial that back. every mobs 1 shot so i cant recruit anyone so thats another 1 to adjust.

anyways so far i do like the game alot solo. noone to wreck my work or pillar the entire map so i cant build like another game i wont name. i can build new bases anywhere without worry that im ruining anyones fun

edit to say: after reading some posts, you do go to advanced settings right???? mobs do 0 damage to me atm and i 1 shot everything. i dont think your messing with advanced settings if your having problems with mobs. i havent found a boss to smash yet though so i guess i will see if they are also 1 shot

In solo just tweak the settings like damage u do and damage you take etc.

100% Skill issue, learn the attack patterns lol the AI only has the same attacks YOU would have if you were wielding those weapons. If they have a spear WAIT for them to throw it before you attack. If they have dual blades, bait out the dash attack or spinning wheel before you go in for damage. Yikes. Saying the game is not for solo players because YOU fail to learn the moves is super cringe. Then again thats half of the steam forums. Nevermind, you belong on here.




Imagine the whining this guy will do when he encounters the Anaconda LOL!!!

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.

How do you destroy those signal fires by the way? I was attacking one but thought maybe indestructible - so they are actually destroyable eh?

You can destroy the signal fires by attacking them with whatever weapon you are using. I usually use my dual blades. It will take about three to five attacks and then it will sort of explode.

Ayo don't tell me what to do.

It's an autistic game for autistic people. I love it.

[Cith]

I love the game. It is a survival game i wanted, very long progress so you have something for your money and much to do in the base. It is much better than conan exiles and came close to ark.

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.

ur just bad at the game.
ur solo. CHANGE THE SETTINGS!!! u clearly cant manage on default solo settings. u some how figured out how to upgrade ur mask and get gear but u didnt figure out how to bring tribemates/ai with u? what is "best"? u can get into beast gear in single digit hours of playing. red beast gear will be enough for anything but plunderers in the rainforest. u can easily get bronze gear though before doing any serious content. bronze weapons will allow u to kill things much much faster and bronze armor will allow u to take alot more hits. are u eating food? u know u can eat/use each type right? so a beverage? meat? staple? veggie and fruit? recreational? have u farmed up or MADE bandages or instant healing like aloe juice or aloe essence? blood cream can also be made around 25. i mean the devs walk ppl through the difference of using a char leveled for combat and prepared with proper gear and consumables vs just winging it. if u want to wing it, turn all combat settings to min and others to max. then u can wonder around like in la la land. ur post is misinformation at best and at worst its manipulation. u literally have all the power u want in the solo edition

It was designed as a online multiplayer, the fact that they allow single player offline mode is simply to please people unable to play wiht community, but in the end, that game just like nightingale are multiplayers supposed to be played on official or dedicated multiplayer servers.

[Dark Exile]

while it is harder than most survival games when it comes to combat, it's not nearly as hard as made out, you literally can't be one shot in appropriate gear by the guy in the village, does he take a good chunk, yes, but its not a one shot.

You can parry him like any mob, and if that fails you can always put any prop between you and him and peek him with a bow.

i play solo and i love this game ...... and its funny because poeples say that this game is like conan exile and i dont like conan exile at all.

Or.... you could just go into settings... (like every other Game) and change EVERYTHING how you want it....

Like every other game ? Like Valheim which has like two settings ? :D
Jokes aside its good to know this game has settings like that.

This game seems great but I don't want to play in multiplayer I just want to do it quietly in solo and enjoy the game world. Do I have to connect to the servers for that or is it played locally too?Conan Exiles has a single player mode but didn't seem to work properly, what about Soulmask?

It works, it just acts as a multiplayer game. You can adjust settings to your liking as well.

PSA for anyone reading this! I'm a solo player and I'm at awareness 40 with 3 temple bosses down.

This game is currently balanced around squad gameplay and a "tribe" of players attacking the stuff.

For this reason there are sliders you can use to adjust the multipliers of your damage to enemies, and damage enemies deal to you. Find your happy medium. For me, I multiplied the damage I do by 3x to simulate 3 people attacking the enemy. Then I halfed the damage they do to me, because I don't have anyone to take aggro off me to be able to heal up, and instead have to hope for an opening to heal, as well as the distribution of damage going to multiple people instead of just one.

With these sliders, at 2.5x damage dealt and 0.5x damage taken, the game feels much better for a solo player.
