I've owned the game for a solid two years now but never actually bothered to play it for more than an hour every few months before bouncing off. Now I've finally "clicked" with the game and have played nothing else for a week. Finding out about the hybrid scaling, the fact that weapon- and magic-based abilities scale off of whichever stat is higher, has left me feeling incredibly deflated. I feel like a toddler in a playpen who cannot be trusted with picking the appropriate stats for the character I want to make, and this tears into the fantasy of it in my opinion.
As someone who, for all intents and purposes, is still a fresh newbie, the mechanic that is meant to cater to me makes me feel disrespected instead.
I would appreciate if this change was, at least partially, undone in the future, to re-increase the impact of buildcrafting.
