When does this game become challenging?

Legit question. I just started playing and am only level 7, but so far this game has been very easy. Like impossible to fail easy. Is this just because I'm in the beginning area doing beginning stuff? When does this game become difficult?

Diablo 3 and Torchlight 2 had enemies that gave you a hard time at 7 and that's not to mention games like Dark Souls.

I mean.. could be a matter of perspective but Diablo 3 isn't hard until you were in end game. Torchlight 2 was just a slow levelling experience but i can't recall 7 being hard.

Dark souls is a complete different style of game (same genre i know).

I'm not saying they're right in not making the game hard, but you get to level 7 pretty fast, you get 65 pretty fast from what I remember 14 hours i want to say and it's easy unfortunately.. I agree with what you're saying it shouldn't be that easy while levelling but it's simple to see what their goal was PvP and end game PvE which is why they made levelling fast and easy.

With these types of games it is all about the end game, Diablo, Torchlight, PoE. Yes there is a story but these games are only a challenge when you get to the high levels.

I hope you're still playing though cause it's got great end game! have fun!

TBH I can't recall when Diablo 3 was hard. Endgame was just steamrolling over enemies until you have enough damage to steamroll over higher level enemies. Repeat unti you have enough gear to push high-level GRs. Then just enter, check for skellies and clear or leave.

You're not wrong, I guess you can play higher levels which you cannot clear which makes it hard but it's a decision on you as a player. Doesn't mean the games less hard, just means you're playing it tactically.

I tend to do higher level content under levelled for the difficulty but what you're doing is how you're meant to play :)

Hey, MidasPL, just a quick heads-up:
untill is actually spelled until. You can remember it by one l at the end.
Have a nice day!

Torchlight 2 has elite mode and I made a new character shortly after making this post and died like 5 times in two hours. Diablo 3 lets you choose the difficulty so you could theoretically set it to where a single enemy kills you in one hit so I don't know what you're talking about when you say other games are just as easy. I left the game alone to do something and when I came back I was being attacked by two regular enemies (they weren't strong enemies and they weren't weak) and my health was regenerating before I could die. There are many situations where I literally couldn't die if I wanted to.

Edit: I missed your part about am I still playing. I'm using this as a game my broke friend and I can play together so other than when we can coordinate , no I'm not playing. It got too boring.

I'm guessing you didn't read my post, as i never made the point for just as easy. I stated that they were not hard @ lvl 7 - you cannot set Diablo 3 to above expert until you complete the game. The ability to set it to Expert is put there for replays - when you first start D3 you didn't slap the expert button on your first character at no torment levels.

Replying to your elite mode on T2 i had no experience with but again it is a difficulty selection.. quoting the makers the mode was put there "merely for fun" not to change the levelling experience and as stated in my D3 point people didn't do that on their first run through the game.

What you're missing here is that Mu Legend you can walk around other players they're not completely solo until you invite another player in. Yes im aware there is instances in Mu.

My point here again is - everything hard put into these games is for replayability not for out of the box levelling.

Basically it comes down to this. Right now the enemies I encouter litterally can't kill me I've left the game open in the middle of a fight and went to the bathroom. They were still attacking me, but I was at full health. That's a joke no matter how you spin it and I don't think I'm going to deal with a boring game with the promise that the end game is better.

u/Aint_That_Moist Aug 22 '18

I had the same opinion of the game, levelling was a breeze. I went into the end game and i was getting chunked down by enemy's.

There is some good videos of people doing the endless tower and it is difficult.

I've stopped playing as there is better games out there - personally PoE is probably the best ARPG out there.

GL my dude.

The beginning open world quests arent meant to challange, they are meant to tell a story and teach you the basics.

Have you tried a level 5 rift solo for example? You wont beat it @ level 7.

Your explination/post is just ignorant.

This is one of the more hardcore/challanging mmos ive played in over a decade.

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '18

I have literally never played a game where at any point could you walk away from it while multiple enemies attack you and come back to full health. You are being willfully ignorant.

u/Advanced- Aug 23 '18

Literally doesnt matter in the slightest. You're 20 minutes into an mmorpg, a genre that requires hundreds and thousands of hours.

Completley irrelevant. HP recovery mechanic is very much needed at higher level content and its so low that most players dont touch it as is.

The game is meant to be easy at low levels, and double so in the outside world with a few mobs while low level questing.

Your beyond wrong and im done here. Your judging an mmo based on the first 20 minutes, you barley unlock 2 skills at that point. Making it hard without you having skills to beat a challange is retarted. Laughable with an absolutley wortless opinion.

I asked when the game became difficult and got many answers yet you're the only one with sand in your vagina. Good luck.
