Is it me, or is the game easier?

This game’s not been made to have a satisfying PVE, it’s clearly not in the core mechanics. Most of the bosses are damage sponges, they don’t have phases, abilities, all the fighting with NPCs is overall just boring. It’s always been and it will always be, it doesn’t matter if they change some stats.
When you make a game, and design for fighting mechanics, you have to focus on what is important. When the fighting mechanics IN CONAN become most important?
In PvP.
So, balance the fight having PVP in mind!
If you want to make PVE interesting, do it making bosses and dungeons entertaining, and not caves with all the same NPCs and just different skins.

And PVP players will argue the game is too PVE oriented.

While most of the whole mess could be sorted out with different server settings.

I dont know, cause I dont know the numbers. My personal opinion is that the game got easier in all other respects except world bosses and toughest dungeon bosses, which may have gotten harder. But thats because I rely on thralls.

True.

What the heck??

Devs, please let us know is the game supposed to be easier? I thought this was going to make the game more challenging? I think the idea of the stamina management & less damage sponges is good. I like the itemization changes too. But the game is easier than it already was at end-game. The only thing that seems more dangerous is poison & it’s back to being insane level of stacks & damage. The way I see it:

  • Damage sponges should definitely be removed, but T1-3 mobs might be lowered too much.
  • Don’t rely on 1 or 2-shot damage for difficulty. It’s okay VERY RARELY but usually feels cheap.
  • Enemies need mechanics, phases & abilities. I can’t stress this enough.(Wine Cellar boss is great)
  • Give us more control over difficulty in Server settings, more than just damage & health. (like the Grey Ones. WAY too squishy).
  • Give us control over boss difficulty separately.

If you find the game too easy, challenge yourself. For example, surviving a purge without armor. :slight_smile:

Build a base in the real north, do that, die from Frostbite :melting_face:
