Troubleshooting / Gjoerulv Hardcore mod difficulty problem
« on: 2013-10-25 22:42:19 »
This could just be me, but I'm finding the game difficulty to be INSANE right away...the first triggered battles force me to use a couple potions, and any random fights where I encounter the mechs I have to SPAM SPAM SPAM lightning just to kill it. This doesn't seem right...I don't even come CLOSE to closing out the first boss fight, whereas on my laptop (un-modded) it's cake like it always was.
For some actual information to compare, Cloud/Barret are at around 230hp, and I obviously can't level grind with no recovery items/materia. They get hit hard (30-40hp / normal attack, around 100hp for special attacks - this is on trash mobs btw) and the mobs have 300-800hp. This seems insane to me...either this is a patch bug or I'm missing something very very fundamental, because this is 10x harder than the unmodded version I have on my laptop.
Any ideas anyone? And is there a way for me to patch over with another difficulty mod? Cuz I can't even play it this way...I've died 3 or 4 times already just fighting trash, it sucks. Thanks in advance for your help.
EDIT: Sorry I did not include the possibly useful info that I down loaded EQ2Alyza's mod zip file, loaded her settings, and went with that without changing anything. I downloaded and installed the SquareSoft online version, patched with Game Converter, then ran BFE.exe to bootleg. Had all mods green/yellow. Went through this whole process twice, same problem
