My point is when players complain its a hard game... its in the description.

The game can be brutal, as in getting a 2 * in a burial, or a troll cave but in all honesty its all on the player, you are usually in a position to kick some, or run the heck away until you got the gear.
Its rarely a case of.. yeah I am dead no chance... like in Ark, getting a velicoraptor to the face. thats kinda game over.

I am saying this as a pro starter :P I have restarted a lot... even the starter mobs you got a torch that murders the starter lot.

This is your perspective since you come from a survival game background before this game.

Thing is this game appeals to a lot wider audience than just survival game players. Perhaps to you this game does not seem brutal since you are so hard core survival person but to the average person playing this game it really is.

Just a matter of perspective. No one is right or wrong so no need to beat the drum trying to defend your opinion. We all understand where you are coming from here.

If they made the game any harder I think a lot of people would stop playing, the devs have hit the perfect spot in my opinion with casual players and brutal learning by death. When you have people complain it is too difficult and others saying it is too easy I think that makes it just right for the average player.

Best reply, so far, in my opinion. I pretty much never read a lot of the Discussions before I try a new Early Access game (new to me). I only look to see if the Dev(s) is/are active, if there are recent updates, etc. But I generally don't read people's opinions because those are very subjective. One person's "easy", is another person's "brutal". It depends on a lot of factors: Experience with survival games, whether one is the kind to stay at home and just build, or if they are an explorer... if they are tactical or just throw caution to the wind. It also depends on what a person's "motive" is for playing... obviously the OP here is playing "to win". I don't play to "win", I play to build and survive and have fun killing mobs. Although I think the Boss Mobs are a bit too powerful for solo play, they are hella fun with even just a team of 3. You could just *not* kill the Bosses, but you kind of need to in order to progress. Or you could just build in "Creative" mode and do nothing but build (though I'm hoping there are more building materials, shapes, etc. in the future).

In summary... this game can be pretty much whatever you want it to be depending on how you choose to play it. Or you can play it all different ways on different worlds/seeds.
