Extremely Unbalanced

[Darkrachet]

I am getting constantly one shotted by most enimes on my 35 protector. I spend soo many skill points on defence and it doesn't help a bit. Some mob types deal no damage to me and others can one shot me >.> All of these games are like this, but this one seems much much worse. I play the story until I get to a point to where I literally can't kill any mobs and then I switch to adventure to out lvl the story.

You guys really need to do a pass on all monsters/afixes and see that some are dealing anywherre from 10-20x what they should be doing.

UPDATE: So I am lvl 50 now and it seems that some monsters still do wayy too much dmg, but 40+ is much much better than 35-40 was. 35-40 seems to be scaling really really bad.

No idea what most ppl are doing im playing the Umbralist and im like lvl 40 and critting about 7-9K right now im in Fearless never been 1 shotted by anything even tried the inhuman one but the mobs aint that much more dangerous just have alot more hp, Then again maybe ppl arent reading the skills and the mastery with figuring out thats best for them.

This is the most horendously unbalanced ARPG I have EVER played.

Just went to rescue private Bryan on casual at lv30. He rushed into a group of ranged mobs that melted him to ashes in half second because he had only 240 HP and he didn't stop before them to wait while I clear the road.
Another issue was with the dark ritual in old town where you need to kill ghouls in a magic circle. Constructor's pets simply destroy those ghouls right after they see them and they don't care if I need to position those poor ghouls right.
I failed those quests and I don't know what it will lead to, and the reasons of failure are very frustrating.

Yea Private Bryan did the same with me. Don't remember if he was suppossed to or not. lol Did you ever go to the pocket realm at the end of the 1st game? it wasn't there for me and I remember having to go through the pocket realm to reach The Gables.

Yea i dont know if its a balance problem or Bugs if that is true, because i sometimes get oneshotted even on my Protector who should be able to take a Hit

[Demerzel]

Can confirm Brian is ♥♥♥♥.
As for the balance I think it' ♥♥♥♥ as in VH1.
The only obvious difference is the reduced mana drain mobs.

I don't know maybe we are don't understand the game at all. Maybe the devs shoud do an official game guide or something.

For example I rarely can use essence because of the missing essence slots. It's a fortune to add essence to every item with enhancement and after that you will miss the enhancements.

I have to say it's more than likely people are building their hero's as straigh garbage...My guy is hardcore lvl 34 Protector and hasn't had a problem yet. I mean there have been some close calls but nothing near a one-shot. My guess is their not building their resistances up...That ♥♥♥♥ is important.

Yea, because with all of the build options and powers, we should only be able to make ONE BUILD that works for a class.

[FieserMoep]

Best defense so far is imho stacking stuff like dodge and deflection like crazy (Some items give redonculous buffs).
HP is really... meh... for you need quite absurd ammounts to soak some attacks.without these "negate" mechanics. Even high resistances seem not to really matter that much.

Well your being childish. I've seen a few posts about different builds that work. The problem is ya'll are whining and complaining about the game being unbalanced when you're either not being smart about how your fighting mobs and taking too much or(and more likely) your putting too much into a certain stat or completely ignoring skills that help balance out your flaws. It's not overly complicated.

[alevesque]

Stop with the ''gid gud'' attitude please. There is a ton of threads everywhere about this, even the devs said there is a problem and they are trying to fix it right now.

I've played all the 3 VH games on hardest difficulties, I am a min/maxer, never had any problems, and something is wrong when you get near level 35-40 in FC. I've tried all the different builds and stats possible and in different ways with my Protector. It's not like there is 1000 different builds under level 40.

The devs already aknowledge the issue. So please, stop with the holier-then-you-master-race-illuminati childish attitude, it's not helping.

''Balancing the game is a very hard task, but nevertheless, we are working hard on ironing out those balance flaws in the game - and we rely on your feedback about this. Thanks for all the useful info guys, we and the testers are getting back to work ASAP.''

Think it's clear. Directly from the devs: ''those balance flaws''

I find it strange that you say you're getting one shotted by mobs on normal mode. I'm a Bounty Hunter playing on normal at the moment and I've literally steamrolled through the first game. I'm at the beginning of part 2 and I have yet to be one hit killed by anything.

I put most of Katarina's points on passive abilies to boost my def, and mana pool, and invested in an aura that takes up my dodge.

I'm not trying to start an argument or anything, but you might want to respec your character if you're getting killed by everything on normal mode because you most likely built him up the wrong way.

[Xaintrix]

Thank you alevesque. I'm far from the best ARPG player out there, but even on Normal it shouldn't wreck me this bad. Even if I am progressing there are many times where it's a ploddingly slow slog. I enjoyed VH2 quite a bit and am very disappointed that this whole redesign basically makes this borderline unplayable for me. Things are good through the first region, but then it's just painful for everything but my constructor.

[Titanofdoom]

I literally can't play until the devs fix the balance....and i'm dying to jump in, no point, only get frustrated and ragequit.com

Kind of the POINT of this thread.
Have you looked at all of the skills and skill trees that each character gets?

Now, it's pretty UNFUN and USeless to have such a massive skill tree if only ONE particular build of that massive skill tree works.
