Razmos Wrote:Just started playing again, I can't say much about equipment scaling, but the monster scaling is already proving to be an absolute peach to me. On my new characters starting planet I was fighting monsters that could hit 15 damage per attacks, and one enemy that hit me for 45 damage. considering the measly 100 health we have, and how they are going to increase in damage, I'm not looking forward to being slaughtered in one-sided fights like this.

EDIT: right, no. This is starting to piss me off. I've got the best armour available for tier 1, and enemies are still doing 15-50 damage with every hit, shields aren't working at all anymore, and now I take the exact same damage regardless of my armour or shield. Enemies either have that stupid pineappleing dash attack or the body slam jumping attack, both of which are pineappleing annoying to avoid, and I ALWAYS get hit at least once by every single enemy I encounter, which quickly adds up. I can't explore very far without running into a group of 4 enemies and losing all my HP in one fight. It's basically a matter of spamming bandages after EVERY single encounter with a monster. it's a massive drain on resources.

So annoying.

EDIT: And when you DO kill enemies that are flying or jumping, with a melee weapon, they fall on your head and do damage ANYWAY!

They seriously need to take a better look at Melee combat, it's such bullshit, especially during the early levels where all you have is melee weapons, it's frustrating as hell.

<Crucials>kyren: Any estimates?
<Crucials>In terms of time, i mean ...
<kyren>like 20 minutes or so
<kyren>then we have to test it

Also, probably the most important thing:

<Spabs>Kyren, does this update break saves? Or are we safe? Also, thank you so much for your efforts.
<kyren>this update will not break saves

(it has something stupid like nearly 200 damage per hit) Upgrading it to the steel bow gives it a damage range of like 1200. it's mad. I beat the UFO in 5 shots with the Iron Hunting Bow.

I found a great planet in the Beta sector, it's a Jungle Planet, with the majority of the planet covered in a Flesh biome. there is an Apex village there too. If anyone wants the co-ordinates, say so

I also found a sewer dungeon on a moon, that was weird. there was just a random outhouse in the middle of nowhere, and a ladder leading down into the sewer. where there were poop monsters that one-shot you, but only have 2 HP themselves, as well as creepy robotic spiders that walk on walls and the ceiling.

Quote:There are a whole bunch of improvements to balance here, particularly in the early game. We aren't wiping characters or worlds, but if you want to experience the proper balance you should make a new character/worlds to play it on!

Also..

Shields better balanced
Early armors better balanced
Melee weapons better balanced
Ores better balanced

fixed the bubble gun crashing on mouse over
improve grass ( Suggestion by Dracyoshi)
You are now invincible on your ship (this requires a new character)
You need to be hit a lot harder to get knocked back
some UI updates
Drills now destroy 3x3 blocks
Other misc changes

SuperNerd Wrote:Oh, and the Tier 3 boss is absolute BS. Without really spoiling anything, I just gotta say his fire damage is way too harsh and also his hitboxes are AWFUL; basically the only place you can hit him is around his stomach/chest, but he's so big and large, to get close enough for your melee weapon to hit YOU have to take touch damage. Bleh.
