Why make an area stupidly difficult for solo

I was mainly talking about the lack of end game content. Folks wanted more to do in the game at a late stage which I too happen to agree with. Funcom made the decision to make things harder in that location so people wouldn’t be able to solo the area. For Funcom’s sake that was probably the easiest thing to do and not introduce another mess of bugs to the game.

On PVP official, this area has been a great stress relief for my clan. Running through it to get FoP has been great. And even with a clan, if you get careless and try to spam heavy and no strategy, you get knock on your a$s. The difficulty is almost perfect imo. And i have tried to solo it just to see, and yeah, it is a pain, especially the first time through doing it that way. but like all games, once you figure out patterns, aggro distances, and spawns, it is quite the god of war experience, sans the button mashing.

That Wraith with a glowing hammer I found the other night up on a tall-ish platform. That was an incredibly complex fight that required four weapons (one of them healing) and actual cripple tactics. Very satisfying, especially with a controller.

The problem is i can solo all the bosses and mini bosses no problem on a online pve conflict server yet all i want is the chance to at least stagger a skeleton that does little to no damage to me but staggers me no matter how they attack it’s a stupid mechanic to have basic enemies not stagger wen i can stagger a boss with my build it takes maybe a min to kill a boss and maybe 2 to kill a mini boss which do alot more damage id rather die to something doing alot of damage than a basic enemy that when fighting one 5 pop up out of nowhere and tick my health away and im staggered to the point i cant dodge attack or move an inch since they never stop attacking iv played all of the dark souls on the hardest play through and never had this much problem with basic enemies and one dark souls they actually hit and take out massive chunks of health not tiny bits id rather the skeletons be able to stagger and do way more damage instead of barely hitting me and just stagger locking me i wanna be able to use my play style not everyone elses but i cant cuz as soon as i start the weapons i favor will get nerfed into the ground cuz no one on here could actually go against anything unless they have their thralls or pets i cant stand having followers cuz they constantly get in my way and are completely useless to me

I sent a letter to Nintendo saying that I’d like to get past World 8-2 without having to hold B while pushing A to do that one long jump. I’ll let you know what they say when they get back to me.

Well the game is designed as multiplayer or using thralls. If you don’t like that playstyle I don’t think any of us can help you. Changing the game so that thralls are not needed would be a massive negative consequence for me so I would be heavily against it.

Yea cuz like most u rely on thralls doing the work for u

Because thats how the game was designed yes, we use thralls to help as if they were other people playing with us. I can’t speak for anyone else but the solo experience is not really anything I’m after with Conan to that extent. I have Dark Souls 1-3 to git gud with when I want to play that way.

Not every games has to be that way, and I’m glad that Conan isn’t otherwise I have no reason to play it if I have other games that offer the same type of gameplay.

Funny thing is befor the update we could stun the skeletons in the city with attacks and with the last update most things are either not stunned as long as they should be or not at all. Just have to see if it gets fix in the next update or further broken lol

Exactly like they are small no armor and not special enemies just basic skeletons there is no reason they shouldn’t be able to be stunned

I choose to play and not be bored and have a npc do everything for me there is no reason i should need a npc to deal with basic enemies when i can solo bosses and mini bosses

Use a katanas heavy and cut them down quick. Its what i do in there

Cool. Good luck.

Thats why im so bored of going in there with it like it is now thats the reason id rather them stagger and do more damage over them not staggering and doing no damage

Tell me more, I guess you dont have any thralls crafting you exceptional or flawless armors and weapons too right?

I want an actual challenge not u need a thrall to do it i prefer using skill over which thrall does it for me

Thats the only thing they good for they useless in combat cuz im not using them for that i have them around my base incase someone thinks they can start messing with anything im not about to waste resources just to kill skeletons that shouldn’t be unstunable they are basic enemies not bosses

If they were useless in combat ppl wouldn’t use them, tanking and dmg at the same time, plus extra inventory slots.

Ps: the real thing you may be missing, its the AI, that I agree it is a bit far from the best it could be.

thee undead thou, magically animated… they fall in that category of oddities that don’t stagger cause they dead and magical. XD

Personally the difficultly is fairly nice.
There some oddites still, basic wolfs have massive health pools, compared to Elf (who has boss tag)
And T4 Cimm is a beast, but t1 is super scurb like lv1 darfari. (and there in north)

You have some of these named npc around map, who can’t take out basic enemies. XD

Nameless City to me, was mostly a pull and beat down, till I could get a Boss solo… or lured them out into open spot. There solo fun online and offline. (thou online is…a drag and takes alot of time.)

few of them I set up catapults outside argo range and pelted them for abit before running in. XD

you are playing both sides. Say people who use an in game mechanic are lazy, yet you want Funcom to add stun lock to low levels because they are causing you to take more time to kill than spamming heavy on them??? Just asking for a friend.
