I lied... Haha!

[Shep]

So at first I said the trolls didn't seem anymore difficult then before... Well I guess I had a great run... Haha because they beating me pretty good!

Difficulty normal
Lvl16
Plate armor
Cruelty 2h
Strength is 7
Endurance is 5

I would definitely need 10ish 90hp pots to clear the troll kings lair.

Now mind you.. I don't like fighting one at a time... Sorta sloppy some might think... But idc to run into a crowd of trolls haha!

The update definitely keeps the difficulty lvl the same now from start to present! I think you should leave it.. I ran through the trolls before at 12 same armor and weapon. No way I could do that now without alot of pots.


If you are a lower lvl and would like to try the run through the trolls I recommend one at a time and wait for your special abilities to charge back!!!

It brings back that o crap factor I might die again haha!

Good job again!!!

Making the game so hard for new players when old players have already done it and have no need to do it anymore . As I said before a game should get easier the more you lvl up that's the whole point of playing for hrs to lvl up.yes in add ons to the game make it harder .I started again now am finding that I have to keep going over and over because my new lvl 11warrior has no hope of killing the bad guys that are meant to be easier to kill because am near or over their lvl.

Monsters level 1-9 are completely unchanged. Level 10 should be a little bit stronger, 11+ becomes noticeable.

You also have to think if your lvl 11 and taking on 40 trolls that are lvl 11 plus...of course it has to be difficult to make sense..to mean at least

But a lvl 16 should not really get hurt by a 10 or 11 troll

I disagree. A level 16 adventurer is an experienced fighter, with many skills, etc, but still a human being, not a demi-god. If he does things right, he will beat a level 11 troll, losing little life. But a troll is a huge fearsome monster, and a bunch of trolls will, and should, eat any human, heroic or not, if he is not careful and just runs into them. Just as a level 4 adventurer will die to zombies if he simply runs into a full room.

It is a matter of power scale, each game is different. Here, even goblins and rats can hurt you. You play a hero, not a superhero. IMHO is what makes it fun, if you can't lose, it's not a game.

A game is meant to be fun not just a grind repeatedly doing the same stuff over and over .
And a dragon a fearsome monster so there's no hope of killing it unless you're near its lvl
Going by you a 11 warrior should be able to kill it but there's no hope. I only did it at 16.
Am maxed out in certain points Am 17 now. My rogue is lvl 7 there's fire bows but no hope of getting it till am at a lvl 12 or more . So just end up using a sword and shield

I found since the update it makes the reckless slightly more careful. Before I could breeze through the minotaur labyrinth with ease(for some reason I prefer it to the troll fens). Now to throw caution into the wind can be fatal. It simply makes things more challenging rather than a mIndless repetitive excercise purlely to farm the milk out of a dungeon. Rewards are better too.

My main worry with the ramp up in difficulty, is the lack of options for leveling near the mid-level range. At that point, if you do want to improve, it does become a grind. Of course, with the introduction of new quests and such with further content, as long as there is a healthy collection of things to do around the 10+ levels to account for the fact that the content is going to be a lot more of a struggle I think it will flow okay.

Just like the early levels, go through the quests you can do, and move around a lot before coming back to some things. Currently, we can't do that as once you start getting up to the 10s, there is limited options and content beyond simply grinding the dungeons.

Keep the challenges rolling David. This is what happens when you give trophies to everyone just for participating because you don't want to hurt someone's feelings. Trolls are supposed to be extremely difficult to kill. Dragons are supposed to be next to impossible to kill. You should have to use caution when entering an area thats what makes it fun. If you expect a game to be easy all the time then go play tidly winks. Don't make the game easier just cause some say it's hard. This game shouldn't be meant to be a start to finish type. You need to grind and raise your level and get stronger to take on the tougher quests. Keep up the good work David. The new boss ate me alive first try, gives me something to work towards.
