This used to be fun. Then they decided to make it so tedious that its completely abismol. I hope Alpha 20 brings back the balance between fun and challenging. I can't even catch my breath anymore. The Fun Pimps, this ain't Dark Souls, chill the hell out on the difficulty. I'm literally on scavenger, it SHOULD NOT be this annoying just to do the most basic of tasks.

There are a LOT of options to make the game easier.  Up the loot abundance, remove blood moons, add daily supply drops, make the zombies easier, etc.  Try something different to see if it makes the game better/easier for you.  You might even find it fun to tinker with the XML... no, really, it's okay to do that, too!

 
I agree with calling it tedious. All of the slowing down of the early game did not raise difficulty, it just made it take longer(tedious). I get that some people like it, but some of us don't. I am a habitual restarter in almost every game I play. This slowing down of the early game has sapped a lot of my enjoyment out of the game. I don't play anywhere near as often as I used to. And before someone comes in with the obligatory 'learn to adapt' or 'git gud', I have adapted to the changes and don't find the game too difficult. I just don't enjoy it anywhere near as much as I used to. Just my opinion, I know many have a different one.

Play co-op with a buddy. Not only does it make the game easier to survive if you stick together, but it adds a layer of camaraderie that really enhances the experience.

I completely agree. IMO this game gets boring fast if you do single player.

Just increase the xp gained and you will progress faster

I agree to. There is only so many times that you can do clear/fetch missions before it gets repetitive. We need more variation in quests and alpha 20 will deliver just that, very curious how many kinds of quests they will add.

 
Experiment with the sliders Chronic or try finding someone for a co-op that would explain the things going around in recent Alpha. The game looks pretty hermetic for newcomers and challenging at the same time. Most modern games have unlimited sprinting or quick health regeneration. After learning some of certain mechanics I came to the realization that the game has been so far incredible in its own way. I have no idea if it`s a super tough game by the current standards. I just rerun the game each Alpha to witness changes and then play with my mates for the laughs.

Kinda feel the same but in the long run, it doesn`t change a thing because at the end of the day You`ll get LVL 6 quality items. I can`t call the recent progression aspects as completely enjoyable. I just play the game for the content and locking loot NOT by POIs or by geographical location doesn`t sound compelling for me. 

I think that the game needs even more content, a more believable and beautifully crafted world, even more variety of missions (not necessarily claustrophobic in nature) to keep selling. 

To me, the character movement is extremely important, in 7DTD seems fine. Other aspects are animations from 1st and 3rd perspectives. Well-written Netcode that prevents teleportations and desyncs is the most important for PvP. If I were the Pimp, I would make sure that servers for 20+ players are top-notch and prevent high pingers to increase latency lag and bring them down with laggers completely.

 
You can play the game in creative mode and then give you whatever you feel like you should get when you feel like you should get it.

I see what you're getting at and I did feel that way at first back when they made these changes. The things that I like about the game turn out not to have that much to do with the loot I'm getting. That part got better.

 
Hello I played this Game with fun for many Years. But now its for me a frustrating expirience to play it. You make this game not better wenn there is a Tiger on the first night. I will loot and Build. Now i must look if the is a Wolf or a Tiger. Give me the Bees back. Sory for my bad English. I will back the Loot Luck. Now you can find only things on your level. Thats bad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would take the bees back and remove the vultures. 

 
I wish the bees were back too. Perhaps we could have bees in the forest biome and vultures somewhere else.

 
Early game, the ONLY problem is food (The occasional "Kill Order" zombie bear and dogs not included).

So, you want to get your cooking skills up!  Save all can goods that have Recipes for them and you should be doing good if you can kill/buy some fresh meat.

Also melee will suck the food right out of you, so use the cheapo blunderbuss ammo as much as possible.

This all assumes you go into Strength however.

 
What if they were changed to murder hornets?

Linking up to the Short-Fanged Nopefly thread and The Executioner bug zapper - if they bring back the hornets, the stun baton ought to do 2x damage to them. For extra evil, player-placed farm plots with flowers in them should attract hornets.

 
*visibly confused by OP*

Admittedly, I'm not the sort of person that uses the phrase 'Git gud scrub', but....

If it hasn't reached your brain yet, you're playing on one of the easiest modes.

There is not logical comparison to the difficulty of this game and Dark Souls.

It's not even in the same arena.
