In recent statements by Thomas and the team I found on ginger prime video. They mentioned after they had some data back on how players were placing their stats on only things like health and stamina and not getting damage increases for scaling with stats. They just assumed people don’t understand the system.
I’d just like to shed some light on the issue because I do the same thing and I’ve played over 150 hours and have multiple characters. So here’s my point of view.
Sometimes I’ll start a fresh character and I’m unsure what weapons I want to use and I’ll let rng help me decide a bit also. Like I’ll maybe sprinkle a few points in health or stamina here and there but I’ll have like 10 un-allocated points and I’ll play almost all the way up daraks second fight before I decide what stat I want to invest my points into. Stats points a valuable and I don’t want to spend them in the wrong spot or find a sweet item and not have stats to use it. This was especially the case before they added embers.
I hope that helps shed some light on the data they’ve received. Some people don’t understand I’m sure but I feel like there’s definitely people like me who are just saving them because they’re indecisive
