(I think my question has already been answered with the soon to be included difficulty settings, but either way, I still am curious.)

WHAT. THE ACTUAL FLYING DIP. IS THE POINT OF EQUIPMENT. IF DYING IS SO EASY?!

Reference: Haven't played for a while until I heard rumors of the update coming. So I hopped back on to go kill a few antlions to finish that armor set. So here I am, in my greatsword, full roly poly gear, and the meat shield buff.

Boom. 2 hits to kill me. And like...ya I get it, some of these bugs are HUGE, STUPID HUGE and could kill us. But I've found myself defaulting to using the terrain to break pathing to kill things, just so I can move on.

It seems like no matter what you wear, the armor is just another form of tissue paper over us. Is this something the community has talked about before? It just seems so wasteful to say, ya we have armor in the game. Good luck thinking it'll work though.
