Yet as soon as you go to get your gear back. You have 40 stam, 25 hp and you die instantly. Im not about to level up my fist skill just for that bs lol .

Eat before you go out ? You don't need to level up your fist skill bro, you can literally see and hear them from a mile away. Make a bow and shoot them

I literally cannot hear them. This is a grind game. No one on my server plays it for active gameplay. No one buys a game like this for that either. So im not gonna have audio up to FPS game levels. I can hear loxes and other mobs at just fine audio levels. But a mosquitoe would require me to significantly raise my audio to be able to get enough warning.

Oh and eating my way to 100 hp did nothing. still got oneshot thanks to no armor.

100 hp? You eating tier 1 food? I think deer meat, boar meat, and a raspberry is literally 97hp?

Maybe try something more substantial.

All they need to do is allow you to swing weapons up or down so fighting on slopes isn't frustrating.

Otherwise, everything else you mentioned is solved by the gitting of the gud.

I wrote specifically about getting gear back... Imagine trying to flex about being able to kill mosquitoes.

Point was. If i have to go back for my ♥♥♥♥. I am forced to bring backup weaponry and armor just because they make no sound until they are in your monitor and they cannot be dodged outran. The best you can do is run circles to buy time but it will home to you untill you die.

Not hard to make literally any backup weapon. Deathquitos have 10hp, can be heard buzzing from over 50m away, fly in a straight line at you and attack the moment they reach you making them super predictable and easy to kill on approach, or *gasp* yes, dodging works on them.

Imagine making a thread where all you do is lie to yourself instead of problem solving.

You can jump sideways just before they attack to dodge, and they'll make their dance before they try to attack again.

You can also punch them, if your Fists skill is high enough (25-30 maybe).

you can dodge them easily bro, hold right click then space before they attack you

You could also craft a crude bow with 10 wood & 8 leather scraps. Craft x20 wood arrows with 8 wood & one shot them with bow level 0.

You can dodge the deathsquitoes. I frequently run around plains with sword and shield on back. When you see it get close to you to do its ramming attack just dodge roll. It will miss because of your i-frames and then It will then start circling again. Should give you time to grab ur stuff.

Or you could just make a crude bow and shoot the squitoes on the way to your body with an arrow.

If you died super deep into the plains before you were ready to be there then you might be better off just retrieving the stuff later when you have better gear. You lost the gear and learned a lesson about the plains. Make some new stuff and move on. Its a big world, plenty of resources.

Or just swing when they're a few meters away. They'll fly right into your swing.

The mosquitoes dont make sound until they are in my monitor. You must have earrape level of audio on.

Combat is perfect. There is just enough variety and skill to make it fun, without making this Elden Ring.

Steelseries Arctic 7+. Damn decent headset, if I may say.

No "earrape". Just good hearing, and good sound design. In this game, you'll hear enemies first 80% of the time before you see them.

skilled combat would be warband / mordhau. This is stamina trash, locked in swing animation noob town.

Its not hard to learn how to do combat in this game. Its just not satisfying either. We are 5 on my server. And while we enjoy the concept, everyone agrees that stamina and fixed swing animations that you cannot move during... that is trash. Running out of stam is not fun. there is no reason to have it in the game. Not being able to move during an attack animation forces you to run around like a moron and wait for the enemy to miss because you happen to have a weapon that is either too weak to stagger or to weak to block.

Not to mention. why is stagger a thing. A wolf runs up to me while i mine rocks. No noise is heard, i get hit into the rock and it hits me again immedietly since im being stunlocked up against the wall. Anything that leaves you stunlocked then dead, is terrible game design.

I do that when i have my gear. When im running back to get it. Ill use some backup weapon to kill the one ive seen. But while im running another might come from behind to cause instant death. Sound is not loud enough for me to hear until it appears in my monitor and i dont have time to dodge the initial charge.

Or you just suck, squitos are easy kills,they are my fav arrows, are you kidding?
