Game is too hard :(

[Spada]

Hi, i started playing DL2 (Normal) difficulty and finished the quests with Hakon in the Hospital at the beginning but now after i entered the free mode i lost my enjoyment for this game it's too hard!

it's like the Resident Evil 4 Village scene with the chainsaw dude where the Game throws you in and says survive but unlike Resident evil where it all ends in 1-2 Minute this is a endless routine
Like for an example the Zombies ohh god the Z's what kind of zombies are they that they even climb up buildings DL1 Zombies couldn't do that and now apperantly the game won't give you even time to breath and calm down to think what to do next once you got the zombies attention you're basicly screwed
The Zombies also somehow everywhere seriously i can't run for half a minute without encounter some i tried to help some NPC's from the bad guys and even in such situations they come in masses you manage to kill 2
4 more join in what is this?
I had like 4-5 Healthpacks when i entered the Free Mode and now i have zero and my health is low can't find the flowers for the crafting

Call me old fashioned but i like my games when they start slow and easy and then become harder and faster...

So that you don't get a bunch of Virals after you every time you do something.

This game is making me sick i swear i parkoured to a roof see there 2 Zombies busy eating
so i tried to stealth kill them from behind the first one somehow frees himself so i fight them in a open combat while i try to kill them since this zombies also know how to dodge of course 3 more zombies join in i swear as i said before you kill 2
4 more join in you kill the other 4 this time 6 more show up which ended me in trying to run away and getting killed and this on NORMAL DIFFICULTY!!

I ask again what is this
Is that supposed to make fun or bring enjoyment??

Hi there,

I understand that you are struggling with the difficulty level in Dying Light 2. It can be tough to adjust to a game's mechanics and pacing, especially if you are used to games that start slow and easy. However, I would suggest that you stick with it and give the game a chance.

Dying Light 2 is designed to be challenging, and the difficulty level is meant to keep you on your toes. The game's mechanics are meant to be a bit more advanced than in Dying Light 1, and you will need to adapt to the new gameplay. You can try adjusting the game's difficulty settings to see if that helps you find a better balance.

In terms of crafting, keep an eye out for plants and resources as you explore the game's world. They can be found in various locations, and it's important to keep them stocked up so that you can craft new items when you need them.

Remember, it's okay to take a break if you are feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes stepping away from the game for a bit can help you come back refreshed and ready to take on the challenges that await you.

I hope this helps, and good luck with your gameplay!

Best regards,

[Peep] XD <3

that's the current Event everything you do will make noise and fast zom will keep coming non stop.
Do what the guy above said, Turn off online community events.
It's in Option>Game, then you will get normal game.
you can turn on/off anytime you want during the game

[Spada]

That would explain i hope why the game sends 5 Billion zombies after me everytime i try to do something

The physics and animations in DL2 are subpar and a step back from the smooth flowing combat and parkour in DL1

DL2 is an alright fun game but a bad sequel and does not hold up to DL1, at least not until the dev team finish fixing the game.

edit: in DL1 I never had trouble with clipping, passing through mobs/terrain and or getting stuck when doing parkour or during combat... the same can't be said for DL2 at least not at the time of this post

[Spada]

The Game is much better now thank you!

Just so you know zombies in DL1 could climb buildings, called Virals.

As well as Volatiles, they could climb buildings too in 1. This isn't a new feature for DL2.

Edit: Also to answer your question, "What is a Viral" it is the beginning stages of a human having caught the Harran Virus in DL1, or THV (new strain of the virus) in DL2 due to just being infected they are fast and nimble, whereas their biter counterparts have been dead for awhile and suffer from rigor mortis hence being slower (and why they can't climb but Virals can)

There you go, in case you need to learn about other infected.

Thank you Lunaris
Do you know where i get all the good stuff?

I turned off online community events and still can't do anything at night. Night comes and I feel like I can't even step out of the "safe zone". Even with my light off and standing back, these bastards seem to know where I am and are actively pursing and attacking me...in the "safe zone"! It is a requirement to complete a lot of activities/missions during the night. I don't know how that is possible when I end up running for my life every time I venture out...am I spozed to simply say, "let's take a break fellas" to the mob of Volatiles when I reach the mission area? I am just starting and my skills, in general, are garbage. Leveling up without getting that precious night time loot is gonna be difficult. I recorded and posted a video, but I don't know if I can include a link here...am about to find out:

DL1 zombies such as the virals and volatiles could indeed climb buildings.

There are no events at the moment. Stop reviving dead threads.

There you go, in case you need to learn about other infected.

Just like to add that the THV is a chemical used by the government thinking that it will kill the zombies. But it didn't work as planned. And worst, the chemical helped the zombies to evolve into more different kinds of zombies. The THV is the green stuff you see lying around. Walking through it will see your immunity bar / circle quickly down to zero. When it reaches zero, you die. This is the case at early stage. As you find more inhibitors, your immunity period will get longer. At the beginning, without any booster, you need to use those blue mushroom to get your immunity back up. But each mushroom only gives a short extension. So, don't get anywhere near those green stuff until you have upgraded yourself with inhibitors at least 3 times. Preferably more.
