You claim the game is too easy, yet you are using arrows to knock out thralls? Go in and use a truncheon, it’ll be more difficult. Fight world bosses that are more difficult. Rotbranch hits like a truck, and is a challenge compared to other bosses, it will take off 1500-2000 health from a thrall nowadays. If the game is too easy while you sit at a distance and shoot a bow at things, get in there with a weapon and try it out!
I do agree with the climate change, although that has been changed for quite some time now! It was a nice survival aspect needing to have appropriate armour – or at least certain pieces – that would help you out in hot or cold extremes.
What is it about AoW? The stamina changes, thrall health changes, or NPC health changes? Just wanted to clarify, as there are things I find annoying, but in no way game-breaking. I also play PVE, so our concerns are definitely different.
Personally, I find the combat to be almost the exact same. Thralls still aggro on me from quite a distance, and many of them hit harder than ever. Animals have been nerfed badly, and do little damage (I would like this changed back) but I just aggro multiple and run through them quickly.
@Noqturn many of the most knowledgeable players on here are women, they’ve been playing the game for years, pretty sexist and dumb comment. As Kikigirl said, “Please elaborate”.
