People may need to look into this to confirm
I had a bit of a realization
The game feels easy because of the new ‘threat level’ system on top of the wound system.
People hunt 3 star threat level tempered Arkveld and clear it fast thinking it’s gonna be a hard fight when it’s piss easy. Reasoning is because it’s 3 star.
I’ve had instances where I had faced 3-4 star tempered Arkveld and it takes between 7-12 minutes max to kill. Now a 5 star Arkveld tempered is a different story, my set isn’t fully maxed but it’s not garbage either, I run max antivirus, maximum might, 4 piece gore crit boost Artian gs and it still takes an average of 15 minutes, sometimes longer if I’m fucking around too much. It’s not the game being too easy, it’s us all being jackasses and not realizing the threat levels likely determine the hp values of these monsters
And the arguably hardest fight has to be a 5 star tempered gore magala,
