Enemies level scaling sucks

To preface, this is one of my favorite games of all time, but I really hope Rebel Wolves does a better job in the sequel with enemy scaling. The issue ultimately is enemies scaling with your level. What's the point of unlocking all these badass abilities if random guards get 1000% stronger? I did all this work to become a badass vampire just to get mogged by a wolf?

The point is we want to feel we've made our character super badass after all these quests so late game a wolf or random guard should be a walk in the park.

Edit: As you get stronger, the game does not let you feel stronger. Because everything adjusts to keep you challenged. But the way I think it should be handled is introducing new enemies types that are stronger, not making the wolves or guards 1000% stronger. I'm not struggling with the enemies, but I'm saying the proper way to do these types of games is when they introduce new stronger enemies vs scaling up the wolves or guards to your level. Late game you should be able to run through basic guards or wolves and there should be new classes of enemies to provide a challenge. Seems like people are having trouble understanding what I'm saying and think I'm struggling, let me put it like this:

What I'd want is

Early game: wolves, bandits, basic monsters
Mid game: stronger variants and entirely new creatures
Late game: holy shit, new badass monster?

vs what we got

Early game: wolf
Late game: wolf with 4× HP because you're level 30.

Think Morrowind

People that are into marketing Litecoin need to study Edward Bernays...

I know there are groups of volunteers that market Litecoin, I'm simply asking you to consider the following:

Before Edward Bernays if you went to buy a vehicle the marketing sales pitch would be "the drivetrain is rated for X number of miles, you get Y MPG and it has Z horsepower. It's a very dependable vehicle." The big revolution in advertising is when people realized this doesn't work nearly as well as status/prestige style marketing. The people marketing Bitcoin realize this. People buy for identity, status, belonging, aspiration, fear, prestige, symbolism.

So instead of "2.5-minute blocks, low fees, 84 million cap, MWEB, merged mining, high uptime", Edward Bernays would have said "Litecoin is money for people who don’t ask permission" and feature attractive people looking nonchalant.

I get the chicken memes and lester memes... but what really made Bitcoin balloon was the rebellious "separate money from state" appeal.

BIP-110 Bitcoiners want to fork since BIP 110 failed...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain LTC does what all these people wanting to fork are asking. They seemingly want two things:

1.) Smaller op return

2.) Different mining algo.

But be fair launch proof of work with no insiders waiting to rugpull them. Well:

Litecoin already does that from my understanding. Bitcoin Core v30+: ~100,000 vbytes default data-carrier limit
Litecoin Core: 83 bytes default

BTC: SHA-256

LTC: SCRYPT

This is an opportunity to educate these people that another version of Bitcoin does what they are asking already and was a fair launch. I suspect the argument against it is "Charlie sold", but remind them Charlie didn't have any advantage over the hundreds of other miners that were mining at launch. So get out there and evangelize these BIP 110ers!

Even with this horrible sentiment, LTC is still doing ~ 150k transactions per day. I have a hunch that'll be significantly more than the Bitcoin fork will pull. Also if this is about the node runners and decentralization, LTC node is ~200 GB vs BTC's like 700 GB or whatever.

P.S. rather than just downvoting, provide an argument. Reason with me. Let's talk about this rationally

Every time I become bearish on Litecoin, I'm forced to use it...

Went to spend some XMR since price was up (woo!). Found something I wanted. Had to sync node... looking about a four hour wait, just decided to use Litecoin instead despite price being down.

Information for new violinists and ebay violins like Yita T20.

This is just information for new players, probably irrelevant to most people here. However, it's information I wish I had when I started my journey.

So I came to the violin world as a guitarist of 25 years. If you had me a $100 guitar, I can make it sing. I made a faulty assumption that this was true of violins. I bought a amazon violin. It was garbage. I upgraded to a T20. And it actually got me a long way. I do recommend these as starter instruments (you'll need a setup). The wood is high quality (according to a luthier I took it to) and it is in fact an excellent value. He said he couldn't even buy the wood for what I paid for the whole thing. However, as you advanced you start to realize the limitations. For example with my t20, I couldn't do synthetic strings. The best strings I could put on it were helicore. Too many wolves and spots without resonance. The luthier said it was overbuilt, but a good value. So then I research plate graduations and end up settling on a Scott Cao 750 model. Okay, suddenly I can play on synthetic strings. I can play high G string without the note refusing to speak. If you were coming from guitar or another instrument this concept would be completely alien, but there are pieces you simply cannot play on a cheap violin. I think beyond the 750 tier (or MJZ 903, whatever), you're paying for tonal complexity and overtones and what not.

This is just information I wish I had when I started. The bare minimum instrument you should buy is a T20, but it'll have limitations and if you learn fast you might outgrow it quickly. If you have the means, go straight to the $1400-1600 price range as soon as you can.

Just disregard if this isn't helpful or you know all of this. I do hope it reaches someone that finds it valuable though.

ZCash bug made me bullish on Litecoin again...

Very sad what happened. There's no way of knowing if someone printed themselves a billion zcash. The cool thing about LTC is auditability. LTC and MWEB is significantly more auditable than Zcash or Monero. We know coins mined should = MWEB + base layer. Inflation bugs on Monero or ZCash are basically death sentences. With Litecoin they'd leave a horrible scar but it wouldn't kill the chain. I appreciate the genius of the way MWEB was designed, however these events make me feel safer on the base layer. This AGI shit is no joke. We are in a different world now.
