Hytale's insane spawn rate just made me do something I'll never forgive myself for.

I was never really big Minecraft the fan Call me a heretic, I guess, but every time I tried to get into it, I couldn't. Yet somehow, Hytale I'm hooked on it. Even without the adventure mode available during early access, it still feels like it has more structure than it does MinecraftAnd I think I have a strong sense of goals. I'm enjoying the combat and the different weapons available—especially the bow. And perhaps this is the only fact Hytale reminds me Portal NightsAnother sandbox RPG that I have a soft spot for. In any case, I can't stop playing it, even if its early access state and the bugs it comes with annoy me from time to time.

Speaking of bugs, Hytale There are some crazy spawn mechanics at the moment that I'm sure will be fixed eventually, but for now, they frustrate me to my core. In my experience, they are mainly when I am underground, although it may be that they are more noticeable when I am underground due to close quarters. Essentially, I'll kill a few enemies I see in an area, only to turn around for a brief moment and find five or six more enemies that weren't there before standing over me. Hytale Not a difficult game by any means, but mechanics like this can make it unnecessarily frustrating at times. In fact, after my most recent encounter with the game's strange spawn mechanics, I was so outraged by the results that I committed what I consider the unforgivable sin.

Difficulty is important to me in gaming

When I was a kid, I played every game on easy difficulty, as long as there were difficulty options available. At the end of the day, I didn't realize I had completed the game on its hardest difficulty. Bragging rights didn't really appeal to me either. I'm not a competitive person, so being better than someone else means very little to me. I really wanted to be able to play a game without getting frustrated, watch it play out if it had a story, and feel like an overpowered hero the whole way through.

However, as I've gotten older, being better than I was yesterday has become one of my core values - as corny as that sounds. I don't want to be better than anyone else, but if I can improve myself, for myself, in any way and with the sense of accomplishment that comes with it, I'll take that path in a heartbeat. When it comes to sports, I have the same philosophy. I no longer enjoy playing games on easy difficulty because I know I can tackle harder difficulties if I am patient, and put in the necessary practice to succeed. In fact, I refuse to play Fate 2 Might as well run the campaign on anything other than Legendary difficulty because doing so helps me grow as a player, and the rewards that come with it are definitely a bonus.

So I just did it Hytale Something I will never forgive myself for.

Hytale's Funky Spawn Mechanics made me cheat

I'm playing alone in my own world, ironically called “Hyrule”, apparently in honor of my undying love. The Legend of Zelda. For the most part, it's been a relaxing experience, because I've been able to play at my own pace, do my own thing, and have no one looking over my shoulder with a critical eye. Every time I start playing, I venture out into the wilds of my world in search of new locations and better resources to advance my base production. Many times, my adventures Hytale are fulfilling, rewarding, and, in the best way, memorable. Other times, little early access kinks get in my way and back me into a corner.

While having an underground adventure in recent times Hytale session, I found many resources that I was looking for high and low. Needless to say, I did whatever it took to fit everything I needed into my inventory, even if it meant leaving some things behind. Unfortunately, all the work that I tried to get back to my base with what I needed most was ultimately aborted. HytaleThe weird spawn mechanics are – anyway, most of the work.

After clearing the area of a few enemies and then naturally assuming I was free to farm some more resources, it seemed like only a matter of seconds before a whole new wave of different enemies was upon me. I had no choice but to run after being overwhelmed, but that sent me straight into a new group of monsters, and I was done for. To be honest, it was one of those frog monsters (now called “Bams”). Hytale community) that finally got me in. They won't let you get away, no matter how hard you try.

Behold, what dies in a survival crafting game Hytale The default world settings are that you suffer a list penalty. With that list penalty enabled in my world (because, mind you, I don't play the game on the easiest difficulty), I just skipped most of the ones I spent significant time farming. To top it all off, I was away from home with no teleporter, and it was late enough in the day that I quickly left the desktop.

I was totally disappointed. I didn't want to keep playing. In fact, I was so worried that I thought I should take a longer break Hytale. I didn't do that, of course, and instead I decided not to care about playing this game on the easiest difficulty—at least until Adventure Mode was released. As such, I went into my world settings and turned off the inventory penalty on death, so that the next time I die in hand I can grab those precious resources. I also went ahead and turned off the falling damage as well, so I could return to the location of my death on the map and then keep digging through the ground until I got to all the items I had left.

Many times, my adventures Hytale are fulfilling, rewarding, and, in the best way, memorable. Other times, little early access kinks get in my way and back me into a corner.

What made me change these Hytale In the end not only did I want the settings to make the game easier, but I felt cheated by the game's spawn mechanics, which gave my enemies an unfair advantage against me. When the spawn rates are fixed (assuming it's a bug), I'll replace the inventory penalty and roll back the damage, but until then, I'm perfectly fine with “cheating” my way through it.

I know I'm not alone in my experience either, because I had to go online to see if other players were experiencing the same problem to reassure myself that I wasn't crazy. A Reddit post by Nickers1501533 seemed to echo my sentiments, asking the community HytaleWhether the spawn mechanics is an intended feature or if it's a bug will eventually be fixed. Another post by dreyken974 apparently referred to the game's spawn mechanics as annoying, which is true, if only slightly.

From a certain perspective, it might be a “git gud” scenario, but if you play Hytale And having experienced its unique spawn mechanics yourself, then you understand. And maybe I'm being a bit dramatic when I say that I've sinned I'll never forgive myself, but that's how seriously I take difficulty in games. I'm not the type who enjoys a smooth ride as long as I don't mind how smooth it is. However, in HytaleAs it stands now, I'm fine with defaulting until I have more control over my destiny.
