See heres were I start to have a problem, even with a little armor most enemies Ive seen can very much outrun you... : ( but your right a shield does make a world of difference. I always carry blocks on me because Ive found it easier just to build a small safety tower

Yeah, Ive just resorted to carrying around leather armor for most of my trips, say for my upcoming trip to the "Resonance achieves", which I am very much dreading simply due to how generally ineffective armor is...but also excited to experience my first story event! Crossing my fingers that we can get some sorta spawn system (aside from the temporal gears) at some point, as Id like to be able to travel the massive open world without fear of being completely reset back to spawn, and potentially relocate my house much further away.

Thanks for the reply, I think Im just going to end up turning the creature strength down because the whole combat system in this game is easily the least feature complete in my opinion. The further I go on the more I consider "Cheating" and installing mods/changing the world config, because as much as I love this game, it does have some pretty big flaws, as to be expected for and early access game of this size. Either way, looking forward to a future combat overhaul, and other updates as well!

New (ish) player here, Im reaching close to 100 hours so far and this game has me thoroughly addicted. For some small background, earlier today I experienced my second heavy temporal storm. Very scary! At this point Ive had bronze for a while, and have 1 full set of bronze plated armor. I made the big mistake of thinking that a full set of armor, a bronze falx and shield would be more then enough to take on any potential enemies outside. I was horribly incorrect and within mere seconds my full set of armor was reduced to zero durability. (Side note Im not entire sure if a reduced durability effects the armor in any way other then it visually broken). Not gonna lie its EXTREMELY frustrating to have worked so hard for armor, only for it to be completely ineffective and destroyed by higher tier enemies. So I guess my overall question is, what am I doing wrong? Or is the damage scaling just that bad? I feel like the jump from tier 1 enemies, all the way to tier 3 and 4 is WAYYY to high. Im just generally annoyed that everything, even hogs just do so much damage that it makes combat completely pointless.
