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.
