Minority Mindset

A user named Cofeebeanblack made a great point about how important Spectral Armor is, especially when the enemy team has both Mercury and a strong attack damage carry (ADC). It’s not just a helpful item – it can really turn the tide of a fight. If you’re playing support, it’s a smart move to build Spectral Armor as your third item, particularly if you expect a lot of quick, high-damage attacks. It significantly boosts your defenses, both directly and with its aura, helping you stay alive and protect your team. It’s satisfying to be the support player who shuts down the enemy’s plans and keeps everyone safe!

A long-time player, ‘stormedup,’ recently pointed out a common problem: the game’s matchmaking system often creates unfair matches, especially for newcomers. He shared that in his last three casual matches, he was on a team with two or three brand new players facing a full team of experienced players. This is frustrating for everyone, both those experiencing it and those who’ve been in similar situations. The problem seems to have started after a recent update from the developers, which made it faster to find matches but at the cost of balanced teams. Many feel it’s unfair to put new players into difficult matches without any support, potentially giving them a terrible first experience. As one player put it, it’s like sending a kitten into a wolf den – new players don’t stand a chance and are unlikely to keep playing.

The main point of contention is gods who can deal a lot of damage and withstand a lot of punishment – often called “dual scaling” gods. Players like zapnu_x_puas are concerned that this makes the game unbalanced, as gods designed for specific roles can easily switch to others. Gods like Tsukuyomi, Athena, and Cabrakan can all be built for both damage and survivability, leading to unpredictable matches. Zapnu_x_puas suggested that reducing base stats and adjusting how gods scale with items might encourage players to stick to defined roles. The problem is that when gods can be both tanks and damage dealers, it blurs the lines between roles. The response to this idea has been mixed, with some players strongly agreeing and others firmly defending the current state of the game.

Update 7 has created a lot of buzz among Enshrouded players! Both longtime fans and newcomers are thrilled to jump back into the game, and the forums are full of excitement. People are using simple phrases like “Let’s go!” and “Awesome!” to show how eager they are. The anticipation is contagious – players are really on the edge of their seats! One player even had to restart Steam to get the update to appear immediately, demonstrating just how dedicated they are. The community seems fully prepared for whatever new content and challenges Update 7 brings, and they’re excited to experience it all.

The conversation started because Andy-Christ13 found a huge amount of valuable loot, and other players were curious how they did it. Baercub asked, “Where did you get all that treasure?” This shows how players often enjoy both showing off their rewards and learning how to get them. Finding good loot in Enshrouded often comes down to luck, and players clearly enjoy sharing tips and stories about their experiences. Andy’s impressive haul really got the conversation going!

The latest update included important improvements to spells and skills, starting with Chain Heal. Players like Auren-Dawnstar were relieved to find that Chain Heal now targets the intended player, fixing a long-standing issue where the heal would sometimes miss. While this is a welcome change, Auren-Dawnstar and others still feel the spell needs a more comprehensive overhaul, as inconsistencies remain. Many users agreed that healing overall could be more reliable, especially in challenging multiplayer situations.

Many players of Enshrouded find gathering resources frustrating. While collecting materials is important, the way it’s done – requiring players to repeatedly press a button to pick things up – feels more like a tedious chore than enjoyable gameplay. Players have voiced their annoyance, wishing there was a simpler method like just holding down a single button. Instead of efficiently harvesting, players often find themselves chasing after scattered loot, sometimes losing it altogether. One player humorously described the items as if they’re sliding around on a rocket, making even simple tasks like collecting mushrooms feel like a complicated treasure hunt.
