Feedback after 10h of The Breach

  • Enemies recover too fast. Almost impossible to land more than 2 hits so it is encouraged to use 1 hit like a kick on fists then dodge. Kick and dodge. Kick and Dodge. It’s boring.
  • Bows are useless. Make them 2h. Using stamina and generating focus. Max 1/3 of the screen as range. Lower the dmg so 3 bow hits are on average equal to 1 melee hit. Make them use arrows crafted with any wood. 10x arrows per wood piece. Doing no stagger on enemies.
  • The same for wands and staves. Give them a basic ranged magical attack. Use charges like arrows on bows. Charges crafted from ore. 10x per ore. Dmg lower than the melee weapons. Max range 1/3 of the screen. Doing no or low stagger on enemies.
  • Make gathering faster. Cutting, mining and gathering should always yield 5 wood/ore/plant piece + roll 5x 50% chance for additional one so max could get 10 pieces of material from one node.
  • Get rid of the building delay (59min). Make it instant. It’s not a mobile game or an mmorpg FFS.
  • Make vendors restock every 15minutes.
  • The whole stat system needs an overhaul. It kills the experimentation aspect of the game. And majority of the players won’t make 10 characters just to use different weapons/builds. Also stamina is too low. Makes combat unfun. IMO get rid of most stats. Only leave Stamina, Focus, HP and Carry Load. This way we can use whatever weapon we want. Make weapon damage only based on the upgrade level. Perhaps add a weapon mastery system where by using e.g Spears you gain XP in spears and can level them up to level 100. Each level is increasing the damage you do with that weapon type. Perhaps some weapons could have a requirement to use like a spear that requires lv.15 spear mastery to use. This way you can level up all weapons on one character if you want to.
  • Get rid of the bad enchants. No one wants or needs them. Only make people angry.

These are my main issues with the game at the moment. There are some more but minor. I think a lot of the people have similar view on these things. Look at all the negative reviews on steam… Combat and the “survival/building” system needs fixing ASAP.
