Posted March 15, 2013 It sucksthe ENDnow hear me out hereThere's no "constructive feedback" forum so I'm posting this here to give you my impression of the game in the hopes that maybe it will get back to the dev and maybe he'll think about changing itI don't knowmaybe you guys and he/she, like it this waythis is just my impression as a new player coming to pick up the gameSoI couldn't tell you exactly what server I'm onI know I was told "you are in charge of your own safety"I can understand and respect thatit sounds coolI like the ideaA PvP and PvE serverawesomethat's what I wantExcept when I actually get in gameI come to find the combat system sucksit's just plain shittyFirst of allThere was nothing in the tutorial at all about combatA lovely section about first aid (which I don't have because you know, no cotton)And on top of thatI expected some form of combat surebut nothing about HOW is actually mentionedand the best part isI'm running through the woods Happy McNoobManwhen suddenly all I hear is my character gruntingTwo things happen hereOne the amazingly overly complicated button filled combat panel pops out(I have no idea what the ###### any of these buttons meanand Twobased on that alone I'm left to assume I'm being attacked but where? From what? why?So basically, I 360 rotate360 rotate360 rotatelook uplook downlook under some rockslook around some treesfinally it's like oh GEEI think that thing there is attacking mebut I can't really tell (attack animations suck by the way)So now I have Half HPand I get to figure the combat system like thisWhich might not be so bad except you knowIt's actually (on a scale of 1-10) Everything must be made of ###### titanium impossible to kill ANYTHING (Seriously, I think at one point I died to a rabid dog, which is ###### stupid because as an average height human being why can't I just kick this "rabid aged dog" (basically weak old ass ###### mut) in the ribs and go about my business)So anyway Back to the whole it's Impossible to kill anything in this game (at least with the starter shield and sword I am given) (god forbid you actually have them equiped and have even a quarter of a chance at this point)So I ###### with the buttonsCan't figure out what any of them doand I diefinewhateverlearning experienceI put my weapons on first this timehead back into the great expanse get attacked###### with the buttonsI dieAlright,whatevermaybe I did it wrongPlay with the stance buttons switch from defensive to normalgo into combatspam click some buttonshit itit hits meI dieOkayFIENEWhateverI'll try "autofight"it probably has a better clue than I doSo I go back into the expanse find more mobsI find them fist, trying to get the initiativeSo I go blow for blow back and forth it's hurting I'm hurting (I'm kind of pissed it's taking so long and I'm losing so much HP but surely it will drop any moment)NOPEI dieWhateverMaybe it got luckySame thingGo inblow for blowI dieFine,I'll do it myselfRead the combat wikigotta focusattacks to legs slow targetsyada yadaokay lets goGet into combatHitting the enemyenemy is hitting meMy HPs almost goneSurely his is tooI dieThis is rediculousHappy McNoobMan is now SlightlyDisgruntledMcNoobGuySo this time I go back to the same placeTo fight the same mob!He's woundedI'm full HPHA HA ###### I have you now!So I fight himBlow for blowWHAT THE ######I HAVE ALMOST NO HPHE WAS ALMOST DEAD LAST TIMEWHAT THE ###### ######I dieI dieI dieI dieTL:DRThe point I'm tring to makeALL I DO IN YOUR SHITTY GAME IS DIEIt's not even a combat systemit's a ###### death systemwith a 1% of surviving by magicYour combat system suckscomplete assand In my scrub like opinion it needs an overhallOr at least needs to be slightly easier SOMEHOWI seriously leave the gates of town and I'm immediately getting my ass kicked by anythingAnd somehow at one point I was so disgusted and sick of dying something went to fight me and I ALT+F4edAnd when I logged back in IT WAS DEADHOW THE ###### AM I BETTER AT COMBAT WHEN I'M DISCONNECTED?I like the idea behind the gametruthfully,I'm hoping to find a 3D Terraria with more potential, purpose, and stuff to buildBut all I'm finding is the death screenOVER and OVERand OVERand OVERand overand it's genuinely just ###### annoyingthat's my opinionI don't expect it to magically get better somehowbut it's definitely something that could be worked onand while I fire the game up every now and then I'm seriously consider dropping the game straight on it's headbecause I can't stay logged in more than 5 minutes without dying to somethingSo it may or may not be too late for mebut if it improves in the future, I'd definitely come backand I'm sure that at least one or two more people in the future would be able to get into it and play it easier 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Kinda stopped reading after first paragraph, a constructive feedback is more looked at than one that just says everything is "Shitty" tbh. Edited March 15, 2013 by Saraski 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 15, 2013 Most of players here like this game cause its Not easy. And as in any other game, lets say, some mmo, you cant run out in map, with no gear, no skills, and jump on any mobs. Thats only normal.You have to gear up first, learn basic skills, grind a bit. This game aint about killing mobs 24/7. Before raging you should try to learn how things work here.You cant go out camping geared in regular clothing, armored with pocket knife and go bear hunting you know 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 15, 2013 Haha, this was a funny post. I read the entire thing...because your death(s) made me laugh. I completely agree how combat blows in this game since it's all text spam, basic animation and better/worse luck based on your fighting skill, but I play it for every other non-combat aspect. The sense of accomplishment from terraforming, building and developing land or creating items is great..but if you're looking for combat based games there are much better choices.

Posted March 15, 2013 I actually read this .... okay i'm lying too painful i skimmed it1) Yes combat sucks, it's on the "todo" list everyones arguing what the makeover should consist of2) New player tutorial dosn't convey the realities of the game well enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 15, 2013 i dont read it at all... but who cares what u think about game... we love it, even with many bugs and not inproved codes 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 15, 2013 Well, unlike most games out there, there is no 'level XX mob regions' on this game since combat is not the main focus until you have gear and train yourself with a dummy. At any case it is about the whole sandbox thing than just battle so again, no mobs level region although some mobs spawn more in some places. Why you feel you should keep doing the same thing to the mob that you have see tear you apart, I wonder though..One I agree is that the tutorial suck. Too much texts no one read that not even really help you survive your first day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) The biggest problem with your claim.This game is not based around combat. It's based around the player controlled world. Even on PVP.If you truly looked up stuff on the Wiki, then it would have told you to hold off on combat until you are well prepared.I would assume the worst newb nightmare: hell puppy.Aged spiders are far scarier. At least you can hear/spot a hell hound from a a distance. Aged spiders are fast and powerful. Not to mention terrifying Edited March 15, 2013 by Necrorave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 15, 2013 well this game is harsh regarding its monsters, but its wanted that way...sure I agree, combat system could be alot better, but it's also avoidable. I mean most newbies who experience death like that are trying to avoid those deadly situations there are templars from guardtowers who can help ya and there are spirit templars from deed....then most mobs can't swim too, so water is nearly always a way to rescue yourself.and honestly...most people just settle somewhere to build a house and fence to be protected from those mobs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) chuckled and laughed through the whole post~ this is a sandbox focused game not combat focused,but dont go attacking things willy nilly as a newb,botanize grass tiles till you get some cotton to heal yourselfi saw you mention something about a "rabit dog" its either a hell hound(firery dog) which even experianced players can have trouble with,or a wolf which is well past what an un-armored newb can take out, start with wild cats as they are the weakest critters there are,well cept deer but you will never see one in the wild,if you get low on hp dont stand there and die,run like you have some common sense FFS ,also many animals cant swim so you may be able to escape by simply getting into the wateryou can right click creatures and select "whats this?" and it will tell you what you need to kill it without dieing....but for me the funniest thing was you stood there and died time after time,pretend its rl,if you are getting your ass mauled by a dog are you just gonna stay there slapping it or run?....well actually you already kinda already did the former,try running,a living newb lives to enjoy wurm another day Edited March 15, 2013 by jacobw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 15, 2013 Please visit http://us.battle.net/wow/en/?- Its a MUCH easier game. You can kill most anything in the start area and you get neat arrows on the screen telling where to go and a quest tracker to hold your hand. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
