Too difficult

[Evilworm]

You are hunted by everything while diving, you are hunted by monsters and police while searching for more stuff. If police gets you, its more stars, if the monsters get you, the money is gone. AND we have the smallest oxygen tanks in the universe... might as well use a bottle of Coke instead. On top of that we can carry only one thing in our hands and one in our backpack or whatever.
Come on devs! You can't possibly think you will get more players if you make it too hard for most people? I played with a friend and we had to use all our money just to get rid of 1 star from the police after every dive. There was no tutorial either, so we didn't get it at all in the beginning.

You literally just described (and I hate to use this term) a skill issue on your parts. That's all you said in this post, you didn't give an explanation for WHY it's hard or what monsters you're having an issue with or anything you just complained about its mechanics being too difficult for YOU. Myself and plenty others have had some very successful runs.

Also you said "friend" implying only 1 other person so i'm assuming there were two of you. The game doesn't tell you this (not that it should have to) but a minimum of 3 people is the best chance you have at this game. 4 stations on the sub to manage 3 people can handle it fine but 2 people is a huge pain. Also if you aren't together always when you dive you're asking to die fast. Get more people and you'll find it's not that bad

That being said they ARE planning to add more ways to deal with enemies (possibly more time as well cause 8 minutes is REALLY short) so wait for the 19th(? I think this is the date) and it will be updated

you just described a skill issue buddy..

i played a complete run with only my brother and me,
we had so many successfull dives in a row that it made the game look easy tbh, once you know how to evade certain enemies and know wich ones just arent worth the risk, you can pretty much loot way more than the quota needs

[SquarePlayGaming]

btw the reaper(or "british" as ive seen him called) is pretty much a joke... you wait for him to attack and dodge sideways... 95% of the time he misses and does exactly 70% dmg, means if you have more than 70% you can just loot comfortably while dodging and if he hits you or you dont have 70% you go back to ship, that easy

[SquarePlayGaming]

btw never ever go above 12 knots without a speed upgrade (or anytime,anywhere above the stealth limit, this just asks for police to kick your ass) if a monster hits you then so be it, the only thing they can do is take money... (wich you should have already spent mostly before moving the ship)

[Evilworm]

Ofc I don't have much skill yet. I only just started playing the game. But if you read my entire post, you would have seen that I mention things that are out of my control (monsters attacking the sub, oxygen, smallest inventory ever). Yes, I can probably find a way to overcome or live with it, but new players often give up early if a game is too hard. And that was my point. We did stay at 11 knots or less all the time, but the police still came for us. The monsters looked like heat seeking torpedoes. If there was a way to turn off some of these features, like if you turn off monsters coming for your sub you can't turn off certain hazards while diving. Or if you set the oxygen tank bigger, you can't turn off monsters attacking the sub. It would still be hard, but you can pick the degree of difficulty based on what you think you are better at.

Typical zoomer mindset. This is why you will always fail.

What was your point with that comment? It certainly didn't contribute much to this post.

Thanks for all the suggestions! We are working on improving balance and making everything clearer to beginners. The game will change a lot after the first big update (19.07), so we hope for more feedback from you when it's released.

I’m all down for more counter play so you aren’t completely screwed without a friend holding your hand but please don’t make it too easy. Pandering to people who have no idea how to play anything properly outside of easy mode is ruining games for those of us who use our heads

I can legit play this on the deepest depth and complete a run... SOLO, if anything it needs to be MORE difficult

Are mods' removing comments? Not gonna write it all out again, so I'll just sum it up as skill issue.

Me and 1 other friend was able to outrun most monsters and the police without much issue and able to make it to the deepest depth. That's just a skill issue on your part.

I honestly was disappointed with just how little changes with even the deepest area. It's hardly any worse. If anything it becomes easier with how many mines you get to kill enemies.
