Mimics are waaaay too fast

[Volkov]

The last thing this game needed was another threat you need precognition to not take damage/lose items to.

Do you actually have fun playing this game?
It doesn't seem like you do.

This game is literally anti fun. I think it has purpose as a streamer game to laugh at people misfortune as that is all Barony is. Even Noita has more player respect.

It's a great hardcore roguelike with a big emphasis on skill and strategy rather then RNG rolls. It respects both you and the time you put into learning and playing the game, assuming that you are capable of withstanding all the seemingly unfair and treacherous potshots the game freely blesses newer players with

Ok so, you can just run away from them and then stealth. If you lose anything to them, they drop it if you kill them. They are very tanky, but they give a sizeable chunk of xp iirc. They are only annoying early on, when you lack options to do more than whittle them down.

Great addition to the game.

You don't even need much stealth for it to be effective.

Perhaps you should try approaching chests with a little more caution, and an escape plan in mind?

unironically skill issue. the game is designed to be difficult and have systems that must be learned, people like you only think this way about the game because you are used to every game handing you a free win.

mimics are not that fast and if you have an issue avoiding enemies your character's inventory weight is too high or you are bad at kiting lol.

either run away, kite it, or remove the lights in the area and sneak away.

There are ways to deal with it at least. I do wish they'd have an option to disable mimic like they do with the Minotaur tho

The mimics only seem to be about as fast as the rats at the most? Am I hallucinating or what?

They are not so quick that you can't escape them with moderate weight. Maybe rat speed?

A toggle to shut them off seems like a reasonable solution imo.

a toggle would be reasonable sure, but some of y'all act like they are such a dangerous enemy when they move slowly and can be easily disposed of with a locking spell / staff.

Mimics are disabled if you use the Disable Random Traps setting.
