Panthers are powerful wild animals, so you may found it hard to deal with in Soulmask. But also we'll keep watching it to see if they're too powerful.

They are fine, Use the environment and dodge. May be have modes from Easy to Insanely hard. Panthers power is good I think. got to level 20 and used beast weapons and it was fine. Keep up the Great work.

I checked the binds and never saw a dodge key.

ALT + direction (except backwards/down)

"shields up" =)
Wait for their flurry to go through, 3 attacks in sequence, then hit them hard.
Circle strafing them does help a lot, too

But yeah, the pounce attack is really shocking, I love it.
Crocodiles have a rather long range dash attack as well, but those are rather easy to spot.

I was at lvl 24 and had a lvl 16 panther curb stomp me.

If you start nerfing stuff, please dont make it into a soy survival like some of the newer titles released this past few weeks. Lets have some hardcore survival for true survival players!

Yeah, I agree with this. I was finally able to defeat the ruler at the barracks. It was a challenge solo -- stealth was the way to go. But it was fun!

Combat should be difficult. The one exception is the rabid dogs are a little too rabid. They are easy to kill, but even low level ones take chunks out. I put a NPC on patrol duty in an area of my base where they hang out, and they ended up killing her.

I like the fact that I can't just hack and slash and everything fall down. I have to dodge, parry, run for cover and use a bandage, and go back and kick butt!

How do you put somebody on patrol?

I am lvl 30 with bronze gear and i cant beat a Panther lvl 15 with spikes and hit dmg. I Make 140 dmg with Spear and you dont see the HP Drop so many HP has the panther. NPC dies in 3-5 sec in the spikes when hit quicker but 1 Panther kill my whole Tribe.
As far as I'm concerned, the developers can give those who can do that a hardcore mode with 1 HP, but the way the Panthers are now they are almost invincible for me.
And not everyone can be a good player and you can still like a game but find it too difficult.

Would need a list of settings in options then, Conan style,
for everything like stamina consumption, harvesting rates, player, companion and NPC damage, time speed, sleep recovery speed, hunger/thirst, item degradation etc.
Just for single player or private servers, if those will be a thing.

Dual Blades and modded with Paralysis fluid from the Craftman's table and panthers are just a nuisance. Even took the head of the elite solo after he shredded my tribal companion lol. The stun gives you enough time to do massive damage. Also try to dodge when they lunge at you.

I was only level 25 with beast gear and it was hard. Not sure what your doing wrong. try getting high on a rock face, bow them down to half and then jump down and finish them off.

so many ways to kill them. take your time to block and learn the game mechanics.

ONLY the STRONG will SURVIVE.

Wild animals don't attack again if they had their meal. They also fear the fire.
Let's assume panther in this game have rabies and don't act normally. But when they ignore several spear thrusts in the face - that's getting ridiculous.

It's OK if they kill players with two-three hits, but they should also die with the same amount of well placed hits by the player.

panther damage is fine.

They gotta rework the jaguar damage. 2 shots with the best gear I had and it was gate keeping the things needed to upgrade. And then it would camp my body. I just uninstalled the game as it stands now and won't be looking to purchase unless I hear about some major re-balancing on the animal damage and hostility. I had full legend class hide gear, was getting tin from the mine just to be able to beef my defenses again and even with a flint tribe follower still got jumped and got 2 shot KO. Barely got him down half heath with a modded legend beast spear. I have other issues with the follower AI and task settings, kept asking for work locations that I would set up on the map but the AI couldn't find it.

If you think jaguars are bad, then stay away from the anacondas. The anaconda in the game has one attack, it is a combo, if you don't kill it before it starts then you die, no escape, no counter...just dead (even if you by some freak chance survive, you can escape or recover enough so the second round ends you.)
I've tried dodging, blocking, hiding behind obstacles, using positioning around the anaconda's body, doesn't matter, it will clip through terrain or itself, whatever it takes, to land this 100% kill. Only options are either run away before the attack sequence begins or kill it before it gets the attack off.

Additionally, I find it quite annoying how dodge for NPCs is 100% effective but far less effective for players. Doesn't matter where they are in the animation when you initiate the dodge, they'll just adjust to hit even when it is an ability that when the player uses it the player cannot reposition once the attack begins. Even more so annoying when it is arrows that'll curve wide around a wall to hit you then has a 100% stun-lock on landing (one of the tribe leaders does this, watching their arrows curve around walls to hit you is very annoying.)
