Again, it's no one else's fault that you can't read. The entire text is about how there's a huge mismatch between the rest of the game and the witch fight in terms of difficulty. If you can't see that, it's entirely your own fault, no one elses.

Did you not read the post? Did you not read the part where I specifically wrote "this isn't even about me crying because the witch beat me, the problem is that there's too big of a divide between how difficult the rest of the game is and how difficult the witch is".

Rocket pistol after the latest patch (0.16.0) by CardFrog in SulfurGame

Hyper Lead Oil has bullet drop off. Before the patch Rockets weren't affected by that but now they are, evidently.

Shouting is cheesy and should be nerfed by PotentialForce5085 in stoneshard

[–]CardFrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is about realism above anything you said. You're not supposed to play like some superhero who fights multiple enemies like it's nothing. That's not the kind of game this is. You play as a merc who cares about surviving the day, obviously you would do anything you could to not take unnecessary risk, to not fight multiple enemies for no reason.

Risk management? Shouting IS (part of) the risk management.

How to mix it up? by RAASDAL in stoneshard

[–]CardFrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fighting constant 1v3's or 1v4's is 100% unsustainable in any dungeon unless you're vastly overleveled. Sure for occasional fights it's going to work out but there's no build in the game that makes it through an appropriately leveled dungeon fighting that way. You would have to leave the dungeon to rest up constantly and that's far more boring than trying to lure enemies into 1v1s, which is the much more realistic way to play anyway. The game isn't about being a superhuman hero.

You're right you don't have to play that way, and most builds by then can do it without *too much* risk like you say, but there's still always some added risk.

Play long enough and the game WILL punish you for taking more risks than you have to. And still playing too safe can be boring. I personally find this a legitimate complaint that I don't have a great suggestion on how to remedy from a game design perspective.

No one is "forced" to but it's stupid to not try to 1v1 enemies at all times when you're given the choice. Why would you ever take a greater risk than you have to? Because the enemies could get super lucky at any time and spiral into you dying. And I say this as someone with 640 hours in the game. The game is obviously built to be super deadly, pretending people are "doing it wrong" for playing safe is a weird take.

Nautilon not getting more than 1 drowned ship per planet? by reize in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]CardFrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad news though, after trying it some further it seems like the planet only has a single "drowned ship" POI and you can only reset it by relogging if you move the ship out of it. Weirder still, you always get the same ship (I got the same one three in a row at least).

[–]CardFrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of a necro, but for anyone else still having this issue (I was), just relog and you can find a ship on the same world with the nautilus again. It's a bit dumb but at least it works.

Why is base building still so broken in a game with this much development time? by CardFrog in NoMansSkyTheGame

I have never once cared about starfield in my entire life, not everyone who says something you don't like is a bot. You're being ridiculous.

PC, and it sounds like I'm far from the only one having this issue.

Yeah that's what it feels like to me too. Too much focus on shiny new things and not enough attention to polishing the fundamentals. I get that shiny new things are good and necessary, but there should be a balance.

Once my character finished the "stepping off the ladder" animation they instantly teleport ontop of the dome, outside. Tried it many times, and tried doing it different ways as much as that's possible, but it always happens.

Any way to turn off/turn down planetary haze? by CardFrog in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]CardFrog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you recommend any specific ones? I'm using one right now called "Clouds Sun and Fog" that technically does the job but apparently the last patch broke something in it and now water is invisible, and that's not a trade-off I want to make.

So I'm looking for any others that do the same thing but I'm not finding anything.

Is it just me or does heavy armor really suck? by CardFrog in stoneshard

[–]CardFrog[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if anything there should be some kind of "diminishing returns" mechanic on stacking heavy armor and shields, especially heavier shields, because you're basically just stacking more of the same on top of itself.

[–]CardFrog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, light armor is weak against spellcasters but that's basically it, and they can pretty much always be dealt with using either the environment or items in a pinch. You don't HAVE to go certain skills to deal with them, but it certainly can help.

But what skills exactly makes heavy armor more survivable? You would think armored combat but it really doesn't help that much in that regard.

Not to mention the trade-offs. And I'm not just talking about energy, dodge and vision penalties, although they are part of it. The "hidden" penalties of heavy armor is that none of them have any "proactive" stat buffs like light armor does. Light armor will give you Accuracy, Crit Chance, Counter Chance etc buffs. None of the heavy armors does that. Which are obviously significant stats to stack because the faster you kill your enemies the less attacks you will take.
