einherjar difficulty is a joke, possibly spoilers.

[viktorhallo]

hello, i am one of these guys that always play on either the highest or the second highest difficulty. however in this game, on the highest difficulty-einherjar is soooo easy. i killed the last 10 bosses without dying once. you seriously need to buff the late game bosses they are so insanely easy. a huge giant monster, shouldnt need 4-8 hit to kill you, when their attacks are very slow, and you got heals aswell. i died a several times on late game trash, but never at the bosses, i played thor - 2h weapons. you would need to double the dmg of the second half of the games bosses to even make it a challenge, compeared to games like bloodborne, dark souls, nier automata on hard, and several other games the difficulty is a joke.

i had to restrict myself to not completely crush the content, lifesteal is super strong, and dodge speed is super strong, with dodge speed, i could control the dodge, completely, and end up behind enemies, and get several hits off before their next attack.

as far as i see it, trash gets harder as you progress, meanwhile, the second half of the bosses ia a absolute joke, you need to double their dmg+ and possibly increase their attack speed aswell, trash packs are fine tho.

also items with 3 socket slots are uber strong, stronger than anything else, rarity does not matter that much imo, you got some work to do guys! game was awesome tho, it does not desvere a mixed rating, should be positive atleast.

Bosses are easy, really the difficulty is in gameplay during the maps.
The build of thor and extremely strong, nonsensical damage focused on lifesteal crit you get almost immortal. There is a very big unbalance with the tree of thor.
Particularly I preferred to play with Odin tree, but the cooldown score of the game is extremely crazy! There is no mathematics that explains what xD
But by his conquests I noticed that you have not yet obtained some basics as a follower of thor, finish in vallhalla mode, and valhalla mode in the most difficult and NG +
Believe in NG + the mobs are much more sharp: D
It can be an extra time.

thanks, will do valhalla mode next, but i totally held back, i didnt really need lifesteal, since dodge speed was so storng, you was able to totally control your dodge after you started dodging. but its still way to easy tho, life steal or no lifesteal. i mean, i played so many difficulty games the last couple of months on the highest difficulty. and i am abit disapointed. life steal alone, will not keep you alive on trash at einherjar, but against bosses, i am sure i could beat them with my elbows on einherjar.

Hi everybody.
So for some players it might be easy, for others it might be hard.
As each and every player is unique and a person on his/her own, this is just natural and applies to actually everything, not only games.
Nevertheless it is all about having fun and having an awesome time and exchange with other fellow players/gamers.
So it would be awesome seeing all of you discussing, rather than trying to start arguments, where it simply makes no sense as just each and everybody is different and has an own mind. ;)

well let me tell you! i had fun, alot of fun :D
game was awesome, especially since it was rather low price. a good 20 hour of fun... as good as diablo in my opinion, but lacks end game...
however, i wish you added another difficulty mode. einherjar is very easy, even for players that is slightly better than average. you should add something like ragnarok mode..

ragnarok mode suggestion
- enemy attack speed+ damage + movement speed doubled.
- boss attack dmg doubled + attack speed doubled + random aoe attacks on the ground that forces you to dodge alot
+ health doubled ofc for bosses!

neither way i loved the game, it deseveres better than a mixed review. but ive never ever seen a game thats this easy at the highest difficulty.

[viktorhallo]

i mostly appreciate devs answering, but the game is too easy on einherjar, i am not a god gamer, and had no problems at all at einherjar mode. you seriously need to make it harder, or add another difficulty. or eventually make a enhanced edition with my ragnarock suggestion! einherjar is a joke, even for medicore gamers, it was so easy... even easier than most games that are considered hard on medium..

[shoki]

I found the einherjar difficulty ok while playing with thor build. Had to backtrack alot and refil my health and wait for stun cds. Only the boss balance was a bit off. Some bosses were very hard while others (especialy the last boss) were like a walk in the park.

Einherjar != Einherjar.

(Good) Gear is a large factor in how difficult the game is or isn't, particularly early on, and whether players have good gear early on or not is largely based on luck.

Once you make it past the Jokull, though, it's relatively smooth sailing. There's no way i'm going up against that boss wtih a lvl3 with whatever dropped along the way on Einherjar Valhalla though, that's just too likely to go wrong

I've found Thor to actually be one of the weaker starting choices on Einherjar, because you generally cannot count on 1-hitting trash, so you're at constant high risk of taking a lot of damage from enemies like Tomte and the Wolves, which hit quickly and with good range.

[Morricone]

@viktorhallo Thor is the most op class imo, with almost "infinite" Rage to pop pretty frequently it's....you should take the game with a pinch of salt or sugar. It's a casual and fun rpg in general.

[Pimpek]

Well i just started on Einherjar as Tyr and i can say i don't do enough dmg in the early stages of the game to kill the bosses. Maybe Tyr isn't such a good pick for starting Einherjar, dunno.

Since i usually don't play this kind of games, it's actually quite challanging for me and i have a lot of fun.

Wow, all you people saying this game is too easy are pretty surprising for me. I just came here for a tutorial on how to survive the first boss at all. I have the game on hard mode difficulty and I've now tried to beat Jokul about 12 times and haven't even come close. I'm a ranged char, level 2, so I essentially have zero powers (lol a "kick" ability for a ranged class wtf useless). I mean I don't think I suck that bad but maybe so. Super duper extra frustrating I also cannot turn down the difficulty, and can only wipe that entire char.

Say that on new game rank 2. Had to scale down to peasant LOL!

Hello Jarmer.
Have you actually went to the altar in order to sacrifice blood to level up and get new skill-points?
As level 2 really sounds pretty low for Jokul. You should be at least level 3 when confronting him.
Are you playing the game for the first time at all? If so, why starting on hard? It would be always recommended on starting on normal/warrior,when playing Vikings - Wolves of Midgard for the first time, especially since we have released version 2.0, which completely was/is a rework and rebalance of the game.

It was very easy before patch 2.0 :D. If you cant beat Jokul after you level up then you should return to th village and craft a better weapon, but this will reset you progress.
