It doesn’t make the solo PvE combat more challenging… it just makes it ten times more annoying. It just seems to be lazy from the developers (something we’re not unused to now) and I’m getting fed up with this kind of thing.

There is a protection against PvE stagger: the SHIFT key.

IMO this game has too little stagger. Not too much.
Play 300 strength if you’re so bothered by stagger. Other then that use the dodge key.

Yea yeah you are all so smart… But try using shift or anything at all when 2 or more enemies are attacking you…
People defending this BS… Holy F

This is actually kind of constructive
The issue is that mobs seem to stagger on regular attacks when you have like 2 or more attack you at once, unless you can infinitely dodge and abuse the iframes or have a shield up all the time while someone else kills the mob you get staggered out the wazzu.
It’s just lazy AI for superficial increased difficulty.

you are just now getting fed up with a quick poorly made game thats touted as the next best thing and hyped all up in your booty hole?
i’ve been saying this for years now.
i love video games. so many worlds and universes to see and explore and be someone else in. but the sad truth is that games are incredibly expensive to make and companys dont want a good or great or perfect product.
they just want to make more money then they invested into the product. They are incredibly short sighted imho.
because any great game, people invest 1000’s of hours and money into.
but when you’re bored and fed up with a poorly made game like NW or a great many others at this point.
then at best you spend a couple hundred hours and little to no money. the people even still playing are the casuals or people who are still hoping ags will do a huge patch that will at least show they care about us.
Thats highly unlikley to happen. the game will get and keep a few players here and there, xmas will bring a few hundred people along which is probably what ags is hoping for .
then those people will play for a couple of months and move on.
This game is on life support and theirs nothing ags is doing to revitalize it. reverting the grind and taking out the orb requirements for dungeons would be a nice start. sadly i doubt it will happen.
my server was really lively a couple weeks ago, then the bans and this bs patch happened. now there’s maybe 25 people on it during my play hours. maybe 30 once in a while. that’s pretty sad. Ive been in a ton of mmo’s and having a lively active community makes the game more immersive for all of us and gives us a reason to log in when were bored.

So what you basically want is that the game adjusts to your playstyle, instead of you adjusting to the game?
Because originally the game was built around stagger, its DRs and playing around it. But since that made LMB spam impossible in PvP, brainlets were losing their shit on the forums and deemed the game “literally” unplayable. So they scrapped it, or rather a part of it, namely most of the stagger mechanics on Players (DR being the biggest part of it).
They actually removed a system they designed the entire game around a couple months before the launch and called it a day - and you’re still playing this scam :–DD
Bad design. Playing tank is the worst because of all the stuns and staggers we have to deal with.
To many staggers, and for some reason enemies can walk into you and this causes you to slide around like you lubed up your feet and the ground is a slip-and-slde. The combat system clearly wasn’t intended for PvE, at least not the PvE system that they put in place. If they wanted to copy Dark Souls they needed to lean further in that direction.
It’s not the stagger moves that are at issue. It is how fast the windup frames come out, making them nearly impossible to respond to. This switches the combat mechanics from players trying to reactively dodge, block, or parry the mob, to spamming LMB and just eating it, trading back damage. If the stagger mob has no cooldown or their next stagger move comes out at a +frame, (looking at you, bears & alligators) the player will get locked if they try to trade back, even with their fastest attack.
You should watch some clips of people AoE farming some 60-61 elites.
