    I'm trying to do a siege -- and I'm getting pwn'd near the catapult by the siege engineers .. I've died 4-5x now. I'm using death shield, and dodge, with shrine of compassion, all leather armor, heart of sorrows - tried bonesteeel crown to help but it doesn't seem to be helping.

    I'm taking a lot more crits it looks like.

    Yes. It seems like that, especially from Archers. I'm like WTH Archers?

    I'm pretty sure they amped up the Crit rate of enemy archers. I used to be able to handle up to two of them at a time...

    If two show up now, I get the heartbeat sound almost immediately... and then dead.

    Everything seems to be critical hitting quite a bit more.

    Agreed - something funky is going on with enemy crits. If it helps, I've got vital points Grandmastered - @Chris - is vital points reversed maybe like fireflies was?

    Oh god that'd be ... well funny is the word I want to use but not a good one here lol... "So uh... all your +crit passives.... weeeeeeeell.... turns out they're +crit against you! Sorry guys!" There was a bug post in the 49 QA about archers in the Control Point Waves how they were just wrecking the poor dude, not sure if this is related or not.

    Yea. I just tried the dynamic random wolf encounter. I made it up to an obsidian bear. Five crits averaging 90 HP's each. Normal hits averaging 40 HP's. I went from 850HP down to 175HP real fast. I didn't do similar damage to the bear, so bailed on the encounter. I'm not going to lose 120,000+ XP's in a random encounter.

    EDIT: Make that 137,000 XP's of decay. Oooops.

    Something is definitely up - I got my ass handed to me by siege engineers and friends, dying prolly 15 times or more - I still gained slightly more exp than I lost, but the time invested and raging - I could have done better exp wise - but I made out like a BANDIT on torches - woot!

    After your thread, @Echondas, I walked in a siege, thinking:
    Well, give it a try with the first enemies, they aren't so hard.
    I would say: yes, died very early this day ;)
    Goodbye >50.000 XP ...
    And: I never use death shield!

    In the woods in the vicinity of Ulfheim. I think any random encounter off a road is tougher than those on the roads. At least that's the way it was in the past.

    And to think my encounter started off with a timber wolf and some type of grey wolf.

    Damage definitely has gotten worse. In R48 I could handle 3 Obs Bears easily and 4 with buff potions. Now I'm barely handling two.

    (Though some of it may be due to gawd-awful hitching from RAM leaks. Got to 16gb !! footprint and I closed it before I crashed out.)

    I had a random corpion encounter that ended up with a Darkstarr Corpion. Same deal. I quickly lost 80% of my HP's while knocking the corpion down by 25%. It had double my HP's to start. I bailed again. It's getting to the point where I'm about ready to leave the game for awhile.

    I reported a bug in QA about that darkstarr corpion - that thing was doing 180-200 dmg crits on me with the poison.

    Mine was 175 and 104, which is one-third of my HP's.

    Ahh, would explain my tough time in The Rise with the elf archers. I thought I just lost my touch or had a better deck and or equipment the last time I there. Those archers kicked the crap outta me.

    Also lol @Echondas and torches. Way too many torches!

    So many torches... and piles and piles of crits!

    I used to be able to handle three Giant Corpions, now two is VERY difficult and one is... sometimes iffy depending upon how many times they crit.

    If the goal is to push everyone to group all the time... I guess this is an.. "okay" change, except even then, the Crit damage is off the wall bonkers to common.
