Mercy Mission and A Dirty Job

Maybe the problem is, correct me if I'm wrong, is that Mercy Mission is the first quest you get.

I didn't know this was a side quest because usually in game first mission is the one to get things started on your adventure.

I could see that.

Hailraike doesn't use LMP on normal difficulty, I think he starts using that on ruthless?

Also, Fire fury is a wakeup call to fire and burn damage, then Hailraike to cold and frozen, I think it works fine to be honest. Sometimes dying teaches you something ;)

I wont argue that it didn't teach me something cause it did, but there are better ways to do so.

Like what? Sounds to me like GGG should leave this one alone and move on to more interesting stuff instead of dumbing the game down.

You need to learn the difference between "dumbing down" and giving basic information about the game.

Troll.

And you should learn what troll means also.

There is not a single information in the game from which you can conclude that frost attacks freeze on crits. This is bad design and nothing else. Explaining how things work doesnt mean its dumbed down, and if it does than they already done that by explaining damage types on forum. Now all they need to do is put it into the game.

Also if they want to go upstream they need to tell people that. First mission in every game is easy. Killing pigs, wolfs or delivering things or talking to people. Here first mission is for you to die if you try to do it. So if they intend for first mission to be so hard, than they need to explain it to new players.

So you die, having learned that cold damage freezes you. Call the game design police! Hailrake reminds me of Rakanishu. Nothing told you that attacking him in melee would very likely kill you the first time you saw him.

Maybe in the games you like to play. This game needs more Sigmund, less hand-holding. Maybe I'm just becoming more like Brec after spending a year listening to people complain about everything that kills them or stops their numbers from getting bigger.

You should also learn how not to take things out of context.
I see you are one of those blind people that fanatically defend things even though they are wrong.

When you think of one good argument as why things should remain the way they are feel free to post again.

P.S. I am not complaining because it killed me, I am complaining because of the way it did, and general feel and logic flow that leads you to that death.

there should be a pop up window telling you, as a part of tutorial, that you are about to fight monster with freezing attacks and explain how it exactly works

Here is your idea.

You are complaining because something surprised you and that it's not fair or bad design, and that it led you to death. You want to make the game easier because you want the game to tell you everything you need to learn without forcing you to do something dangerous like explore or learn on your own.

You're a passive aggressive brat. Go do something useful.
