I thought he was being rather reasonable.
Being reasonable includes having logic as well. Is it hard to take care of this hordes? Yes, as he said: it is. Then it is a DIFFICULTY issue and if you can't take it, play a casual, Easy mode. Don'
t even dare to play Normal/Hard, it is not for you.
Simple logic.
I shouldn't have to lower the difficulty to easy
Yes, you should. That's the whole point. Lower diff - less problems.
You do not know anything about what you are talking about. You know nothing about game design or balance. It is not simply a difficulty level, it is much, much more than that.
There is a difference between difficult and annoying. Even if all the respawning enemies could all be level 1, but it would be annoying to have them constantly spawn in every five seconds. The monsters in Sacred weren't that hard to kill. and they weren't terribly threatening, but they WERE very annoying because of the insanely fast respawn.
But they probably won't be level 1, they'll probably be closer to the player level. Combat against several enemies of equal level in ED was pretty hard and required retreating and evading, and a dungeon full of enemies your level which respawn every 5-seconds is a lot harder than a dungeon you can partly clear and then retreat from if needed.
Please explain WHY it is SO DARN HARD for you to walk out of a dungeon and walk back in.
