Over power NPC

ok so here is the camp

i just went in there just walking a round and 2 npc killed me
so i was like ok what went on
went back and one of them with a bow killed me in 2 arrows
the other guy hit me one time and then i could not even block the next 3 follow up strikes i was on the ground dead

wtf is going on with this game … does nothing have any balance ?

I expect that in the real life you can easily handle two experienced enemies, one equiped with firearm. And survive two shots in the chest from heavy bow.

What exactly do you expect? Human enemies are human, and for the most part all have the same health pool - protection differences coming from armour and defensive skills (including offense).

Picking a fight with one opponent can go either way (but a good player will probably win most of the time against an equally skilled NPC as his player character. From experience even highly skilled fighters cannot consistently defend against multiple threats, and add the option to stand off and I wouldn’t suggest getting into an unequal fight and standing your ground.

oh ok now i understand
i did not think they had the same health pool as i dont see any way to see health or anything like that

is they options for that ? or is it just based on what the NPC’s have in general

There is no health bar blinking above their heads, but you can guess how badly they are wounded from how they stay, what noises they do etc. (if he is swaying, limping and cursing, he is probably low on health).

ok thanks… i just quit for right now lol i am sick of having 2 archers anywhere near me and i cant kill them both … NPC archers need to be nerfed

Only 1 of those Cumans is an archer and both have swords.

Armour and shield help against arrows - but perhaps the best option is either to time you attack so that the archer is asleep or eating, and get him first. In any case, using the first swordsman to block the archer from attacking you is helpful (as is taking the fight deeper into the woods where trees may block some of the shots aimed at you.

You can also turn up with your own bow, which certainly helps with equalising multi-opponents fights - wounded swordsmen are much less capable, and dead ones are removed as a threat. You can also engage the archer first over the shoulder of the swordsman, while backing up.

i am stuck at the battle part i guess its the place i had to scout

You can not be serious. However, I think they are going to change it anyway. I watched many reviews and playthroughs and saw only one opponent strong. And to top it. You are fighting two at once. Developers said they are not planning to make hero overpowered so he could not easily beat the whole army himself. Instead making him as part. You went there on purpose second time to die. I feel like it was your first enemy encounter, you should see the trainer.

by the time we killed the first lot of people they was me and like 5 others left alive the archers kill everyone else

also every time we cross the bridge the game laggs for about 10 seconds and i die … and i have one of the best computers out so its not my computer …

It does not have to be your computer, most likely you are experiencing beta optimization state. Beta is more than a year old.

As Lieste said, proper armor and shield helps against archersor you can also try to play their game and shoot them with a bow.

its just a bad beta they need to let out more updates … i cant do a lot of things and have to constant go back to older saves as people are stuck in walls or fences …

Beta will not be updated.

seems strange every other beta i have been apart of has updated things to make improvements and to see how the improvements affect the game and to see how the community react

We would also like to do this of course. But it comes for high costs. Updating the Beta would need a lot of time and not contribute to the final game at all. We are already late, and we don´t want to delay the game longer than necessary.

but the controls and the targeting system is pathetic … and you give no help at all in the options to say how things work at all … how do you think this game will sell when all reviews about the game come across as bad … update the bata delay the game and make it better will help the game in the long run …

Nooooo!!! No more delays!!!

well most of us managed to deal with that, I guess you can too :slight_smile: We already provided shittton of feedback to WH about many and many issues, so I am not afraid they can deliver, if they have enough time :slight_smile:

Hi. I’m not sure you understand that in “Beta”, although you are playing part of the game, that game is not the final game version. In other words it is not the released game and players (not to mention reviewers) understand that this is a Work In Progress. Evidence of this is also seen in the upper right hand corner of the screen while playing the Beta of KC:D. If you do understand this, I do not understand your complaint. When it is said that “Updating the Beta would need a lot of time and not contribute to the final game at all.” that does not mean “We are not addressing any problems seen in Beta”.

My opinion is that many players of Beta feel that they are simply “getting to play the game early”. Respectfully, you should, in my opinion, consider yourself a “Beta Tester”. Now please do not remind me that you paid. Yes it is true. I know. However you did not pay to be a Beta Tester, you paid to get the game when released AND you can now also play the Beta.

“No help in the options” is not a deficiency that will ship with the released game. This forum is part of the help you may receive at present, in my opinion. The reviews of the game will not be based on the Beta. Sales will be influenced by reviews of the products that ships.

You seem to be concerned that deficiencies in Beta are what will ship with the released game. Frankly I see no evidence of this, and if Warhorse is so foolish as to do that, then they deserve what happens to them. When it is evident that then have done it, then I will be one of the ones stating it. Right now, what we have is that the personal enjoyment of the Beta players is not maximized, which is a different thing. Please be reasonable and understand that what you see in Beta is not what you will get in the Release. Beta is a tool, and that tool is of limited use now.
