q-and-a

[drifting bison]

you've actually been to one on floor 1 this playtest?

[simple arrow]

if i haven't i'm mixing it up with hell floor. like i said, it's been random and i don't normally plan to hit it so i haven't kept track. i know i've run into it though

[upbeat iron]

Is there a road map by chance?

[pliant cloud]

Nope

[drifting bison]

ive been looking and still haven't found one, maybe it depends on what map layout rolled

[woeful wren]

i got a golden key on floor 1

[swift locust]

Hey ghost king is undead right?
Im not healing it when i spam holy light on it am i?

[fast parcel]

Quick question do I Get my my money back if I do high roller do I get my 70 gold back

[pure vessel]

how do you obtain adventure currency?

[spring scarab]

any extraction should net you over 70 gold

[daring halo]

what are the starting consumables for barbarian and fighter?

[waxen vortex]

Does the Cleric's bonus damage to undead apply to Skeleton player race as well?

[daring halo]

it used to but they patched it out

[shadow creek]

anyone know how long a exit portal stays open ?

[tepid turret]

for high roller dungeons, does everyone in the party have to pay?

[thorny sundial]

@digital quiver I have a question is there any option for a refund??? I was hoping to refund the reg skelly is lue of being able to get the red(not a free upgrade or anything just to be able too), it would truly be a wonderful Christmas gift, thank you for all y'all's hard work tho making a amazing game.

[prime canopy]

@burnt badger @digital quiver ive been really enjoying the playtest the past couple of days with friends, and i just got the message that my access to the playtest was permanently revoked when i left the dungeon. i have no idea why i would have even been banned. is there anyway for me to appeal the ban and regain access before its over on friday? i realy dont wanna have to wait months for the next playtest. ive been looking forward to this playtest ever since then last one ended:(

[mild scarab]

How do I split items in my stash

[burnt badger]

Send me a dm

[tepid turret]

alt and left click drag

[wraith niche]

is suggestions even read? i tried scrolling up and there must be at least a thousand suggestions, how would the devs read through it?

[true crescent]

How is magic damage for spells calculated?

[sudden bison]

Is the "Elite Skeleton" going to be purely for this testing or is it going to be obtainable in the future?

[unreal wagon]

Are silver coins good for anything?

[earnest bridge]

3 make a gold coin

[dull meadow]

QQ does magic resistance work against lich king

[late portal]

can you block zap with a shield?

[gritty marten]

yes everyone needs 70 gold

[limber thicket]

how do you equip the blue torch?

[unreal wagon]

Will we be keeping the adventurer point purchases after the playtest or is it all going away? (Skeleton race, blue torch, emotes, ect.)

[rugged swallow]

Do stats like +additional magic dmg add magical damage to physical weapons like swords or is it only useful for spellcasters?

[agile badge]

Also curious about this, will we be able to still get the elite skeleton in the future or am i screwed?

[unreal wagon]

But more importantly do we even keep that after this week is over?

[burnt badger]

Kinda struggling. Can anyone recommend a class?

[sudden bison]

Ranger is what I started on

[unreal wagon]

Rogue is good for solos, fighter works pretty well, and ive had some luck soloing as a ranger

[cursive osprey]

if you have two clerics in your party, do their divine strikes stack on a single target?

[timber mist]

Currently it is just for testing, future use is not yet decided 🙂

[sudden bison]

Zero retention?

[timber mist]

Right now everything including cosmetics will be wiped.

[wraith veldt]

Have the devs give any thoughts on solo queue? Not sure if there was any official statement on that yet

[deft dawn]

so, I have no clue how to play this... might it be a bad idea to start the game as a solo wizard?
although I made to hit 2 level wizard somehow

[true crescent]

Killing things gives you exp so even if you don't make it out you can gain levels. Solo anything is hard though. Ideally find people to play although solo is possible and it's impossible to start a match with only 3 people parties since we need 16 people for a match in any combinations of solo up to 3 players.

[peak onyx]

if I run "intense focus" instead of spell memory, can I only use one spell?? or how does that work

[agile nebula]

by any chance are the devs gonna change how the circle works

[true crescent]

I don't know, maybe if people keep complaining about it but it might be a feature they choose to die for.

[spark edge]

i have 3.5k gold, what do i do with it

[tepid turret]

buy pog items of the market and run high rollers

[frosty charm]

Magic damage oh physical weapons just adds magic damage to the physical attack, right?

[drifting bison]

It does not, it adds damage to spells

[boreal heron]

Pretty sure that "+X Additional Magical Damage" does apply magic damage to physical weapons. It's "+X True Magical Damage" that does nothing on physical weapons, or bonuses to magical power. @drifting bison

Not certain on that, though. I will try to test it next time I get the chance

[drifting bison]

#❓faq says it only works on spells

[strong kelp]

Why aren’t my torches blue I bought it

[boreal heron]

Damn, sure enough. That's yet another literally useless stat on most weapons then. Thanks

[drifting bison]

You have to equip it in the cosmetics tab

[strong kelp]

Thanks I completely overlooked that

[drifting bison]

True damage also kind of blows because it doesn't add damage like +magic damage, +weapon or additional physical, it just converts that much damage which is a bit misleading

[lunar dirge]

will cosmetic purchases be wiped or continue in future wipes/full release?

[drifting bison]

Devs said a bit ago that for now they'll be wiped every test

[boreal heron]

Yup. I do hope they adjust rarity bonuses to be more reliably at least useful. Nothing more disappointing than getting a purple sword with bonuses exclusive to casters, or a spellbook with physical damage. Over half of all stat bonuses are nearly worthless on most builds.

[lunar dirge]

thats a little disappointing

[ocean cloak]

have you tested this on a dummy? didnt realize thats how true damage worked

[drifting bison]

There was something in the last hotfix notes about adjusting possible item rolls and im hoping it has to do with removing useless rolls on gear because it is a bit frustrating

[drifting bison]

Yeah, since dummies don't have armor you can test this yourself by taking off a piece with only true damage. You'll see your damage will stay the same

[ocean cloak]

thanks thats what ill try next time i get the chance but ill take your word for it now. very useful to know

[drifting bison]

No problem, just saving people from having to rebuy their gear like I did 😄

[ocean cloak]

i have so much backup gear thats +true rn lol oh well

[boreal terrace]

this might sound kinda dumb but how do you kill the minotar

[drifting bison]

Depends on class but pretty difficult as melee unless you've got a cleric trained on you

[boreal terrace]

even as archer hes basically running around everywhere and as a solo hes basically impossible tbh we could go through an entire redroom but the moment a minotar shows up we all die i reckon i just need to get better at the game but im wondering if theres some sort of stradegy im missing out on

[drifting bison]

If you kill the manbat in the minotaur room first you can sit in the window and safespot him, but otherwise multishot and spreadshot to the dome until he dies

[boreal heron]

The main purpose of true damage gear is selling it for inflated prices on the market to people who don't know better, sadly. It sounds like such a good stat.

[boreal terrace]

yeah safespotting seems like the best thing to do

[drifting bison]

Unless you've got a survival bow he's not really feasible to kite around, especially an elite variant

[boreal terrace]

i dont get the survival bow tbh like sure youve got the extra arrows and with the three shot thing instantly reloading it its not bad in regards to just spewing an absolute furry of arrows my only problem with it is if you dont hit even a few of those arrows you wouldve been better off just hitting one long bow shot to the head

[drifting bison]

I've never had anything good drop from him honestly, even the elite version. Not sure its worth the effort. As for the survival bow, its only really worth it if you've got insane gear and an insane survival bow, then you can hit about 95 a shot on an unarmed head

[boreal terrace]

yeah that sounds like the only situation itd really be worth it to add tho if you had a long bow of the same level its probably preferable as you can just do the triple shot thing on that and basically vicarate anything in front of you

[drifting bison]

I actually carry a long bow around still just for the abilities against pve yeah, but the kite potential on the surv is just really nice for pve and pvp both

[boreal terrace]

yeah def

[orchid pecan]

when does playtest end?

[true crescent]

Apparently the 23rd of Dec

How much damage does Zap, Icebolt, Lightning Strike and Chain lightning do? All it says is "magic damage"

[queen plover]

how much is a ruby ore and how many can be in a stack?

[light meadow]

Ruby ore stacks in 5s

[low wasp]

What does the skeleton race do?

[main smelt]

purely cosmetic, but u can trick new players if you take all your armor off and sheathe weapon

[topaz rain]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to kill ghost king?

[low wasp]

it says -20 armor +10 magic resistance, is that an exception

[main smelt]

ranger, cleric, and then a tank, barb and fighter both work

[tender sundial]

Has anyone found counterplay to a wizard one shotting you with a fireball?

[topaz rain]

thats what we had, but he just AOE yelled at us twice and we were dead. Full blue+ gear

[main smelt]

magic resistance armor

[tender sundial]

Didn't work 😂

[topaz rain]

Don't get hit in the head. its 30 base damage, maybe as high as 45 with lots of will. its the headshot with it that kills you. Block doesn't block fireball

[tender sundial]

I had a shield in front of my face once and it was instakill

[low wasp]

dont play rogue thats another counter

[main smelt]

ur gonna want at least blue, but realistically purple or legendary armor, and the boss u need to use range to the max, de agro him shut doors, never let him get close to you, the tank is a precaution

[sly goblet]

is there a way to refresh your cleric spells mid run?

[topaz rain]

campfire

[sly goblet]

ty

[mortal latch]

is there a golden door this playtest??

[main smelt]

constant flat for a set amount of time from when it is finished constructed, higher rarity campfires will last for longer times, i believe its 7-10% health recuperated per second until it burns out, and i think u mean golden chest, there is one but ive only found it on blood/down floors through down portals

[queen patrol]

Does the skeleton race get effected by cleric anti-undead spells?

[main smelt]

havent played much cleric this playtest, but i dont think it would have been implemented, if anything the opposite would occur. they would take less damage because the race gets a decrease in armor and an increase in magic resistance

[wispy imp]

does anyone know a good video or faq on how blocking works in this game?

[tender sundial]

Just crouch and block a bit upwards (mostly good for arrows)

[main smelt]

its a directional system, i dont think there is a video, but if you've ever played mordhau its like that. just pretend you're in vr and actually drastically angle your shield in the way the blade will travel at the beginning of its path

[wispy imp]

how about vs pve? do different sheild sizes matter? does the defence on a shield matter? can you break a block?

[thin scroll]

Once I buy skeleton, can I apply it to multiple characters?

[queen patrol]

yes

[tender sundial]

Shield size matters in that smaller shield u need to be more precise. In PvE use it to block arrows so like skele archer block have him shoot twice and then hit him and repeat. Against melee u don't need it just press S against bossy guys you can sit in like a doorway and crouch and aim up left or something

[serene cove]

I just found, in a regular mode dungeon, a seemingly "unique" quality Frock. Is that another tier of gear?

[queen patrol]

What color is it?

[serene cove]

Gold, not the orange color of legendary. With the appearance of the basic Frock.

[drifting bison]

unique is a step above orange yeah

[thick egret]

how do i put the weapon i want to trade with in the trade chat (like the name so people can see the stats)

[serene cove]

shift+Lmouse, i believe

[hot raft]

Is there any incentive to work with randoms? or any punishment for teamkillers?

[queen patrol]

Not immediately having a blade in your face is nice, no punishment though.

[bleak cedar]

Cool Thought, wizards meditate give more spells back sooner. bc u cant hear footsteps, unless its a Fat albert tank clankin down the fuckin walkway

[hot raft]

there's a suggestions channel m80

[barren ridge]

Still have the bug of my character hitting without pressing anything, die two times because of this bug

[normal vigil]

alt tab

[barren ridge]

thanks but i alt f4 instead

[mortal latch]

is there a golden door in this playtest??

[hybrid echo]

anyone know where to apply for work to ironmace? any links?

ill learn korean

[tender sundial]

If you have a bow you can stop the bug by cancelling the arrow

[burnt badger]

what are the most important atribute stats for fighter on armor pieces?

[tame lark]

How to fight the lich? (normal)

[vale notch]

how do you stacks of items apart into smaller stacks

[eternal basalt]

Do we have a wiki of sorts to identify what things do?

[tender sundial]

So maybe the best counterplay is to juke the fireballs, and if he reads you then you can jump and at least prevent a headshot.

[topaz rain]

Most mages spam those things if they think they're gonna hit you. Bait the from behind cover. He only has 5

[tender sundial]

Oh nice tip man you know it might just work with the juking. I do think that if they do a balance patch they should make block prevent headshot

[dawn kettle]

Do Archers use spears?

[regal hull]

Does anyone know if the Wizard's Fire Mastery perk effects the burn time of Zap?

because 3.5 seconds of burn with zap sounds... pretty good

[drifting bison]

with the perk yes

[kindred yacht]

does magic damage do anything for rogues>

[outer spear]

anyone knows how much each stat gives example : agility gives how much movespeed?

[main smelt]

poison

[wispy imp]

besides the pavise what is the largest shield?

[kindred yacht]

thats what i was working off of so far wanted to confirm thank you!'

[wicked hamlet]

does judgement have a weird hitbox for yall or is that just me ? like it says no target half the time

[desert wedge]

does any one know how to see ms/latency ingame?

[storm smelt]

you guys think we'll be able to customize the look of our characters, besides the skeleton skins?

[dawn kettle]

ty I was impressive too see one for the first time

[azure veldt]

Give us back the map with the big circle in the middle 😡

[daring ingot]

yeah, your posion is magic damage

[livid mist]

how does physical power work. when I do 40dmg and get 5 more physical power how much more will I do. Or if I have a flase understanding of this attribute, what does it

[quick lynx]

Does anyone know if Magic power and spell dmg works on poison's and bleeds?

[serene iron]

magic power works on poison

[true burrow]

WHAT ARE DEBUFFS?

[livid mist]

bind slow etc

[true burrow]

@livid mist 5 more physical power meaning 5 more dmg with physical weapons

https://discord.com/channels/988365908009447485/1025205250124157039

[livid mist]

there ar attributes like 5 physical damage
5 true physical dmg
isnt that more dmg with physical weapons
physical power is sth that is shown in the character overview but there is no way to test its impact as there is no training room to test things out, when the matches start to quick

[icy python]

Saw a golden door on high risk crypt map 1, it was bottom left, in the darker shaded room south of the wraith + ore room

[upper sapphire]

Does using a campfire replenish a cleric spells? Or how does a cleric replenish their spells, i saw on a stream that he was able to replenish all his spells

[fathom crow]

Heater

[bitter quiver]

is the shop cosmetics account wide, or just that 1 character?

[old oar]

1char

[bitter quiver]

campfire replenishes some spells yes.

[bitter quiver]

so i have to get 5k/2.5k per char to have them all be skellies? rip. is nice the currency is earned overall but still.

[old oar]

Yes

[celest orchid]

Hey so can anyone answer something? I bought a set of rubysilver boots. It rolled caster so I bought another set. It rolled exactly the same stats as the first pair? @zenith solar

[fathom vapor]

Constantly getting sent back to the title screen?

[alpine pasture]

as ranger does nimble hands effect crossbows?

[hallow night]

probably not it states "when using a bow."

[alpine pasture]

yeah what i thought ok ty

[hallow night]

anyone know if our characters are going to be wiped after the play test?

[jade tinsel]

yes they will

[wispy imp]

@bitter quiver you only need to unlock it once for all characters, you buy the cosmetic once and its account wide

[zenith solar]

I know just about as much as the rest honestly. My role isn't specific to game knowledge sorry ❤️ If I find out, I'll let you know.

They might be on a specific stat hard role

[celest orchid]

RIP

[drifting bison]

True physical doesn't add damage it just converts existing damage to pierce

[bitter quiver]

wonder if the stats are unidentified but fixed for that merchant' time slot. friend of mine said the merchant' wares updated for them every run though.

[carmine jasper]

when the play test ends does that mean we'll have to wait a while again before we can play another playtest? or is there a new update after dec 23 already?

[bitter quiver]

certain?

[rancid roost]

Usually around a month

[wispy imp]

@bitter quiver yes i have skeleton and blue torch unlocked, paid once, all my characters have it

[bitter quiver]

hell yeah, thx.

[spark raptor]

is dec 23 the last day

[arctic bridge]

anyone know if war crys stack with multiple barbs?
dec 23 at like 2am pst, so dec22 is basically last day. I think

[eternal cypress]

can you split during trades? alt doesnt work

[brave vale]

#📢announcements shows end of playtest with your local timezone and the date.

[nova rain]

does magic damage affect bleed and poison?

[valid onyx]

is it always better to just use the crystal sword instead of the staff

[quaint peak]

how long is the playtest

[lilac spear]

Are there any plans on adding dodging to the game

[regal cave]

Casting animation for the sword is slow as F, so no.

[raw wing]

Wiz with Crystal ball + Dagger seems pretty effective.

[fringe dagger]

Is crystal sword or book better?

[proud wedge]

No.

[lusty hedge]

Are they planning on fixing the sound?

[real island]

Do the buffs on weapons apply while equipped or only while in your hand?

[jovial kernel]

If I got stealth after drinking a protection potion.. Can the enemies see the protection bubble still?

[frank flare]

does blocking with the sword have the same hit box as the shield just lest damage? or is it somthing else

[full scroll]

what is the best wizard spells to use and how to increase the capacity for the spells?

[quaint pollen]

Its different and its a weird side hitbox

[wary junco]

Is this game going to be strictly Battle Royale?

[visual cloak]

Its not a battle royale

[quaint pollen]

This game is not Battle royale
The only "battle royale" thing about the game is the ring which brings people to the middle and also serves as a timer

[wary junco]

what is your definition of battle royale, I may have a different vision

[visual cloak]

all battle royales are last man standing

which this isnt

[quaint pollen]

Last man standing with looting

[lusty hedge]

Have they said anything about, or acknowledged the sound issue?

[full scroll]

how to increase the spell capacity i have?

[wary junco]

It's not a battle royale but every player I've played with only saw it as much. Never gotten pass the first encounter.

[visual cloak]

they can colloquially see it as a battle royale, but i also call all extraction looters "reverse battle royale" even tho thats incorrect because they're in no way the same

but to answer your original question, yes I think it will most likely stay an extraction looter

[visual cloak]

the knowledge stat, there might be others but increasing knowledge increases memory, there are also items that increase spell capcity

[lime shell]

Will this be a season game or did devs somehow address how the game will deal with inflation of gold and gear?

[warm moth]

Hi
I downloaded the game today
But when I click start, the game does not turn on. In total, having never started the game, I have been "in the game" for about an hour
When I run the Steam check, it writes that 1 file is faulty, pumps it, but nothing changes

[frank flare]

is there a place i can report racist names

[pure vessel]

whats the best way to get adventure currency?

[frank flare]

the only way is to extract

[brisk badge]

what does the drunk effect do

[earnest gust]

so i know its probably been posted but when dose the test play end

[full scroll]

what are the most useful spells?

[dire sky]

What stat does the Ranger Ration scale with, Will, Physical Healing or Resourcefullness? Or is it fixed

[celest mural]

For wizard your buffs haste ignite and invisibility are probably your best spells

[placid frost]

Is there a way to see the range of wizard spells?

[celest mural]

Currently no with the exception being lightning strike

[desert remnant]

chain lightning's range is effectively infinite.

[celest mural]

Can you elaborate on this?

[serene shoal]

you can use corpse's as jump points with chain lightning

[desert remnant]

its range is so big that you'll never encounter a situation where it hits max range. also, its a projectile, so people can dodge it easier the longer it travels anyways.

[celest mural]

I believe it’s range isn’t nearly as long as you think, it does disappear very quickly it’s very noticeable in certain rooms.

[desert remnant]

im pretty sure ive hit people from across someone of the largest rooms on the map. could be wrong, as the spell didnt get the kills for kill feed i guess.

[whole dune]

I shot 3 chain lightnings at a death skull in the middle of a room and didn’t hit it. Was about 25m out

[proven notch]

does strenght increase damage for daggers?

[umbral apex]

Sorry but what key do I have to press when lockpicking

[worldly sable]

When is next playtest?

[ebon bronze]

whats difference between +additional physical damage and +weapon damage?

[mossy robin]

how can i resurrect my teammate? It says something about i need stats or smth

[bold pond]

Can anyone explain how the shop refreshes outside of timer? do i have to kill someone in a run?

[brisk badge]

the other adds damage to that weapon and the other adds to your damage so having the physical damage+ weapon equipped will increase all of your physical damage

[visual cloak]

how to donate to game

[rough shore]

does anyone know what the Armor Rating stat on shields does, i thought it was just a passive armor bonus but taking the shield of doesn't change my damage reductions

[pliant cloud]

You need his heart, u can get it by removing chest armor a taking his heart, put it on utility slot and use on altar, you need some hp as well cause reviving costs some

[mossy robin]

i dont understand @.@

[plush rampart]

what builds do wizards run now?

[pliant cloud]

Oh, u are Talking about a spell?

[mossy robin]

y, as cleric

[pliant cloud]

You have to have enough Knowledge stat or Spell Capacity, anyway you need spell memory to be able to use ressurection spell

[mossy robin]

how? D:

[pliant cloud]

Click on class > spells tab and put ress on spell wheel

[mossy robin]

ye but how much knowledge for use it :(

[pliant cloud]

Don't know exactly cause im not playing Cleric, it costs 8 spell memory, 1 spell memory is 1 knowledge
Yes, you can also bring less spells with you and pick ress, but i wouldn't do that

[mossy robin]

ohh ty! then i should get more spell memory for use it

[ruby prism]

does the game have anti-cheat?

[subtle crown]

You can get more spell memory or change the order of your spells so that your resurrection spell is "known" before the others as a priority list. This way if you find more knowledge or +x spell capacity items while in the dungeon you can learn the following spells in order of priority. You'll know which spells you can't use yet based on knowledge limit by them being gray/lined out on the spell wheel.

[quaint pollen]

Yes it does and they have been updating it in the updates

[serene shoal]

how does duel wielding work ?

[visual cloud]

I am really hoping this is the case but are they making like the blue torch and skeleton skins play test exclusives. Like you get them to keep as a bonus for playing and reporting bugs? Like a beta tester reward kind of thing???

[visual cloak]

how to financially support game

[plucky warren]

can you buy adventure currency for ingame or reallife money?

[pliant cloud]

U won't keep anything from playtests
@visual cloak You can't at this moment
@plucky warren Nope, you can't

[dusty fiber]

Where is the gate for the golden key currently?

[plucky warren]

Also what is the SFX pack you can download on the website

[fast fjord]

Does Ignite buff other spells cast? Seen some "top" mages casting ignite before a fight, but they only use a spellbook which seems counter productive. Only time I've used it till now is on Crystal sword or allies. Does the +5 buff/burn work with spells too?

[mossy sequoia]

In hell do you actually just need to get to the final zone for portals to spawn?

[pliant cloud]

No, teleports start spawning just like in normal mode, but there's less escape portals spawned
@fast fjord Yup, Ignite boosts your other spells as well

[whole blade]

what's the diffrences between high roller and normal queue

[timid phoenix]

PLEASE LET US PLAY UNTIL END OF THE MONTH🙏

[nocturne wedge]

Is there a plan to do solo queue this 1v3 sucks

[surreal whale]

Join a party or ask in the LFG channels

[halcyon prawn]

Is there a chart of mobs stats or anything like that?

[winter portal]

Quick question, though I think I know the answer - does progress reset between the playtests?

[pliant cloud]

Yes, everything wiped
@halcyon prawn You have only stats explaination, there's not mobs chart

[sterile crest]

<@&988703997378584596> Where can I report somebody for inappropriate name? Have a pic of 2 people in my game with the n-word in their character name 0.0

[halcyon hearth]

Please dm inappropriate names to a warden and they'll be actioned.

[sterile crest]

Just sent you their info. Thank you!

[surreal hollow]

Will the Skeleton skins be removed next playtest? I know the Devs didn't want skins to effect gameplay.

[pliant cloud]

If you own any skin, u'll lose it after playtest ends, but there will be same or any other skins in shop next playtest

[frank flare]

i have some racist names but all i got is their name

also tf does the pickpocket perk do for rogue? i can never get a straight answer

[knotty rock]

You can steal items from their inv- without killing them

[frank flare]

oh.. like in the tavern?

[pliant cloud]

In game, not in the tavern

[round burrow]

can you steal from teammates?

[copper spear]

Any stat guru's that can help me?

[pliant cloud]

What do you exactly mean?

[copper spear]

For example, in the Class menu there is a flat number given from physical power, how does that apply to my damage?

[pliant cloud]

Hard to say, but physical power gives you overall physical damage

[copper spear]

Do you think it's 1:1 ?

[knotty rock]

Nah ingame. F.e you invis next to em. You can „Inspect“ their pockets and steal stuff. Or „you steal“ and you get random stuff dunno. One of this 2 options

[pliant cloud]

Additional physical damage gives you flat nuber, for example 30 weapon damage sword with +1 add phys dmg, and u hit with this sword will be 31, not sure about Physical Power attrib, but i think it gives more than flat +1 dmg from weapon swing

[viral drum]

Will the Devs keep bringing back playtest servers until the game is released. I just started playing a few days ago and I am absolute love with this game. However im bummed cause i heard the Test Servers are going down friday

[pliant cloud]

Yes, there will be next playtests, in 1-2 months i guess

[viral drum]

Darn. Its gonna suck waiting but itll be worth it

[dusk jungle]

YoYo gaming, keeps you hooked

[frank flare]

im assuming i cant steal anything on their body only in their backpack

[knotty rock]

Maybe didn’t test it yet. Gonna test it sooner or later

[knotty rock]

Don’t know any rogues that play that perk so gonna test it myself

[whole dune]

Oh is there a better place to report teamkillers from this discord than in report wicked

[jovial tapir]

Does anyone know the math behind different stats, for example what does 1 true physical damage do compared to 1 strength ?

[knotty rock]

Strength is for breaking things if I’m not mistaken. But you can read detailed infos if you go into the char information and then look into the specific stat

[gloomy haven]

where is the golden key room?

[south cove]

how do play this, ive never even seen a portal

my fighter is like level 7, never escaped a run.

[whole dune]

Try grouping in the lfgs

[unreal escarp]

don't get hit in PvE (you slow down when attacking so be mindful when skellies attack you and you're trying to dodge) either by dodging or blocking
otherwise grab a friend and hold them at gunpoint to play cleric for you

[vapid frost]

does anyone know how to fix the "run it on steam" issue? i have been playing fine since the beginning of the playtest but now im getting this error when i launch the game

[restive aspen]

are the purples in high roller so abundant that its not even worth running normal lobbies?

[pliant cloud]

Loot from High Roller's is much much much more better

[restive aspen]

been running a squad through normals and were lucky if we even find a blue so might need to start running high roller

[chrome dagger]

Fighting in the front lines can be tough. Try experimenting with different equipment to see what works for you, I'm not the best with the shields and I don't like the damage of 1h weapons. As a fighter I run the Longsword and try not to take any armor that's to heavy slowing me down more. This way I can focus on dodging and (when I can) parrying with my longsword to defend myself. Can be rough when running into ranged, you can't push up behind a shield unless you have a pavise on your back but if you play it right you can put away your weapon and rush with your swift to close the gap and re draw your weapon to start handing out the pain. I also play like a Rogue when I'm solo, carrying invis pots, heals, and turning off lights to use the darkness to my advantage. Fighting in the dark can suck but the more you do it the better you get

[fathom crow]

True phys damage ignores armor rating afaik. Strength increases damage percentually.

[restive aspen]

what up @chrome dagger hope this play test is going well for you, do you feel like the movement speed penalty on 2h weapons deems running barb or fighter not worth it? I feel like its too punishing

[burnt badger]

Best weapon stats for fighter?

[fathom crow]

Probably str, true phys damage, phys damage etc. since he already has a movement ability and is a dps class.

[pliant cloud]

The best one is True Physical Damage for sure, and Strength

[burnt badger]

Ok thanks

[limpid bay]

I don't know if it's been asked or if I've missed it, but is there potential for Prox chat?

[chrome dagger]

What's up dude, likewise. I'm not having the High Roller luck I had hoped this playtest but I'm living my best life in Normal Lobbies.

2h weapons do have some nasty penalties in move speed and attack speed but it's the same as a heavyweight fighter in the boxing ring. Might not be as fast as a lightweight, but you're praying to every god you can think of they don't connect with a good hit. I will say I feel Barbs are unusually slow, I guess it makes sense though for balancing bc a fast barb is a thing of nightmares. Considering 2H benefits vs 1h, bow, sword/shield, duel wield, I feel like it works out well. Your equipment should benefit your weapon/playstyle. If you're using 2H, but don't mind being slow and would rather tank then find equipment that boosts your ability to tank. I had a build last night where I got a lot of +1 all attributes. I ended up with 30 strength (once weapon was drawn, purple longsword with 2 str, 2 will, 2 all attributes), and something like 19 agility? + move speed benefits on my gear to. For a fighter with a 2h I was very fast and that was all green (jewelry to) except maybe 2 blues and my purple weapon all of which I got from Normal raids and the sword from good ole St Nick. It's really all up to how you play with it, I say that a lot but play style really does mean a lot in this game

[restive aspen]

oh man prox chat would be hilarious

[desert remnant]

voip was confirmed.

[storm nova]

Whats the tradeoff of using a book versus a staff?

[desert remnant]

faster move speed, stronger spells, cant bop

[storm nova]

bop?

[limpid bay]

schweet, ty

[whole dune]

Book casts spells faster staff breaks pots. I always bring both

[desert remnant]

yes. you cant smack them with the book

[storm nova]

why not just use a sword or something, ive never used the staff as a melee weapon

[desert remnant]

its still a downside. the book is absolutely better, you just need something to hit the enemy with as well

[iron wedge]

Did they fix the issues they were having yesterday

[storm nova]

right thanks

[whole dune]

Staff is free

[left kettle]

How long are the servers going to be open for..? :o

[honest cargo]

where do exit portals spawn? IE what time in the round and where on the map relative to the circle/rooms

[coarse cove]

What effects the XP gain?

[restive aspen]

mostly toward the end of the match, last two circles portals start appearing

[ruby badge]

Can you guys extend for one day as a present to Amazon workers? We've been working overtime for the Xmas season through the entire playtest. :C

[chrome dagger]

I think they buffed it so that the first close actually spawns one portal and it goes up from there, you'll hardly ever find it though bc the map is pretty big with not enough time to wonder the whole thing

[restive aspen]

@chrome dagger any tips for soloing high roller?

[honest cargo]

do the portals spawn like inside the zone? or in the area outside of the new circle (like when a circle closes and then it shrinks, they spawn in the area that will be overtaken by the zone)

[slim vessel]

How does a character with two handed weapon kite enemies?

[chrome dagger]

I need to do a proper high roller solo run. Know your rooms, don't want to walk into a room that's gonna spawn a lot of enemies at once. The Crypts and Sewer for example have melee fighter enemies and archers/wasps, easy on normal but on High Roller where everything is elite you'll want to change tactics (kite them out of the room to deal with individually, or do your best to spawn them individually and deal with them as quickly as possible. Not impossible, but a huge change in pace compared to normal)

I plan to do some solo HR tonight, for gear I don't think I'll be taking in greys, maybe white tier to if I can avoid it. I've seen people do it in the lobby but I never have seen them near the end circles (I've done a bit of HR in a party)

My plan of attack for a HR solo is to get as much green as I can in normal lobbies, a few solo runs will set you up decently with a bit of luck you'll be set up nicely, then go into HR and rat slowly. It's how I learned normal solo so I imagine it'll be the same process for HR but more difficulty. The big thing is the elite enemies, even spiders are noticeable in HR when every pot is popping out them red ones like it's their day job. Kinda wish I brought that stat build from last night in solo but I was partying in the darkness with my fellow adventures

I shouldn't say the sewers as an example since they're so big it's easier to move around, crypts are smaller with some clutter in them so that can make movement and controlling the fight a bit more difficult solo. Those were just examples though, wraith + skele champ room with all the chests is not a place I want to go HR lol I barely wanna go there normal but HR I'll pretend like it doesn't exist. Same with the new library place they added at the top that has the one skele champion, not to many mobs in that room but the elite skele champion would be very noticeable solo

[neat oar]

is armor pen bugged rn?

[true crescent]

Can't say without seeing the formulas but armor reduction is pretty low on most classes anyway.

[true crescent]

Walk up to the enemy to get it to start it's attack animation then back away and dodge the hit. Then run in and smack him while he's recovering. Rinse and repeat.

[slim vessel]

But they usually attack again after a hit in...?

[true crescent]

You usually have time for a single hit before needing to back up again. Some enemies have combos like the skeleton champion which you have to watch out for.

[broken root]

I don't know if it was explained but I find that the fights on this game compared to other "medieval" games are quite slow, is it wanted by the studio?

[fallen dagger]

Why are all the rangers I see skeletons? is that a skin? how do you get it?

[chrome dagger]

It depends what weapon you're using to. Most 2hs don't have a proper block, it's something I like about the longsword. Skeles have an over right? swing and then a vertical downwards slash I believe. The slash that comes from the right is like diagonal, and if you move left and crouch you can dodge it. Vertical downwards slash is a left or right side step, maybe go back to get some distance. It all depends on movespeed though if you're a barb and find you're to slow, back up and let them advance, start your swing and move forward slightly to hit then back up again right away hopefully they'll miss

[eager pond]

best ranger perks?

[true crescent]

Depends on the class and weapon used, I've seen fights against rogues and barbarians end pretty quickly.

[true crescent]

Depends, what's your objective? are you looking for dps, burst, general survival or utility?

[fallen dagger]

Personal take: Sharpshooter, Range Expert, Nimble, and trap expert

[broken root]

yes i know i've lvl up max all the class, but i mean in the animation ect compared to mordhau or chivalry there is a gap of milli seconds between those games in combat action quickness

[true crescent]

This game also doesn't allow people without shields to parry or block. Making it more of a smash fest might not fit the pace of the game.

[chrome dagger]

It could be the effect those games were going for. Not everyone swings a blade perfectly, the characters we play are just adventurers/villagers so that could be way starter classes feel a little slow. A geared player seems a lot faster, at least I find them faster. I still see the blur that was an all purple rogue that deleted me from a HR lobby

[paper compass]

i imagine class skills for certain classes will increase swing speed when they come out - but dont expect to swing a greatsword around like a feather like its ff14

[true crescent]

Some already do like the Fighter's counter attack.

[winter portal]

What skills would y'all recommend for a fighter, since we're sort of on the topic?

[paper compass]

yeah that fighter perk does now, but i was more talking the unreleased class skill section based off levels

[unreal escarp]

are there any differences in spell casting speed for sword/staff/book/orb?

[chrome dagger]

I use Swift, Def Expert, Combo Attack, and I want to say Counter attack? But it might be barricade or something else, I'll get back to you after work with it lol

[true crescent]

Maybe, although agility generally buffs that, I don't know how much of an effect you get from it though. Could be that we're just all under equipped or we're not going for agility with fighters, barbarians and clerics.

[slim vessel]

How much armor rating is worth movment penalty? for example, the wizard is better off naked for how low their amor rating is

[chrome dagger]

Book is fast, that's all I really know

[true crescent]

I wish the perks had more of an effect, +5% damage when your base damage is 20 to 40 is pretty weak. That's +1 damage per 20 points of base damage.

[whole dune]

Depends on how much you plan on being hit

[slim vessel]

Then it leaves me to another question: How does one dodge? like crouching to avoid swings

[chrome dagger]

Crouching, jumping, dancing around like a madman. Just utilization of movement really

[burnt badger]

Any idea why the name Trilliana would be ‘not allowed’ instead of just unavailable?

[true crescent]

I can't say to that unless there's a specific spell casting speed buff, however knowledge increases casting speed. And different weapons have cast animations of varying lengths. Like using a crystal swords makes you flourish before the spell goes off. It should be noted that weapons with "magical damage" buff your spell damage, which for some reason is absent from staves.

[pearl flax]

although it's subtle, jumping back does actually help dodge overhand attack animations that arc downards (think a semi-circle, backwards alone takes longer to exit the hitbox than back + upwardson further thought, the radius would be the same) -- at least that's my guess, based on experimenting w/ skeleton overhands

[warm moth]

Help me pls
I downloaded the game today
But when I click start, the game does not turn on. In total, having never started the game, I have been "in the game" for about an hour
When I run the Steam check, it writes that 1 file is faulty, pumps it, but nothing changes

[true crescent]

Try restarting steam, or your computer and try again?

[warm moth]

I`m trying game redownload, computer restart. steam restart.

[slim vessel]

Easy said then done... Is there a timing to it? for PVE and PVP

[chrome dagger]

Most definitely lol but that's kinda of realistic, dodging a melee weapon isn't always easy. For NPCs once you get the attack pattern and the timing of their attacks down, kind of yes. I can dodge the Skele Champion a lot easier then when I started playing this game, but he still gets me every now and then

For PvP it's more of instinct I want to say since your attacker could use their camera to extend the reach of an attack (for example swinging horizontally left with a weapon while turning your characters POV left will have more of an effect then keeping your camera still during the left swing), that right there can change the timing and positioning of your dodge. Def a lot harder to dodge a player then it is any NPC in the game (maybe minus the wraith who can lunge forward with their one attack)

[burnt badger]

WHY WOULD YOU UPDATE THE GAME 3 DAYS BEFORE THE BETA CLOSE????????

[restive aspen]

because this alpha test is meant to find and fix bugs

[true crescent]

This feels more like beta than alpha

[lament geode]

better question: why cant u just leave servers open to let us play while u develop 😄

[pliant cloud]

Because it costs money?, ironmace is small game dev studio

[burnt badger]

Maybe leave the servers over x-mas

[chrome dagger]

Deving while maintaining costs more resources then deving and hosting for a week, then deving more

[warm moth]

game not start)

[restive aspen]

which speaks volumes for the good job the devs have done, alphas never feel this polished

[lament geode]

@pliant cloud im sure people would donate for servers

[quartz verge]

What happens to my previously purchased Adventure Items? do they survive playtests? I think I bought the surrender emote on playtest 2#

[pliant cloud]

Yeah, im pretty sure people would do it, but it';s 100% developers decision to make us able to donate 😉
@quartz verge Everything gonna be wiped

[quartz verge]

thanks! then I think I'm going to save myself up for release, cause there's no point in brainlessly playing again and again .

[pliant cloud]

It's pointless to grind items/gold/adventurer points, but it's not pointless if you want to just have fun 😉

[quartz verge]

true

[lament geode]

true, but meh, this games replayability is so big that it doesnt get boring at all + it already has a huge fanbase, i dont see how waiting for next alpha/beta tests is better than just deving while servers are up, but i guess its their choice, i believe they could make something closer to 2 week servers up and 2 week servers off, that would not be very different from what we have now, but way better for players imho

[sturdy summit]

lol

[pliant cloud]

IMHO, developers just want to treat us with 100% of respect, and they're trying to bring us the best product they can and probably they don't want to take payments from unfinished product
@pure tide Physical healing is probably healing from bandages and potions, action speed is interaction on chests, doors, portals etc.

[pure tide]

what is physical healing??
and action speed?

[narrow citrus]

I'm new to this of playing tests , so I was wondering If the items you obtain will remain on your account forever

[pliant cloud]

No, everything will be wiped

[pure tide]

ty

[chrome dagger]

Action speed - Looting and opening chests I believe, maybe even attack speed but I could be wrong about tha
Physical Healing - HP when getting healed physically (Surg Kits, bandages, 2nd wind I believe counts)

[narrow citrus]

ok, thanks for answering

[solemn epoch]

if i have +5 true magical damage on a pice of armor for the barbarian, does it mean that my attacks deal 5 magic damage or that my spells( witch i can't cast) deal +5 magic damage?

[pliant cloud]

It doesn't work, when u're not dealing magical damage, it could work maybe when Wizard casts Ignite on you

[runic warren]

The latter. It might actually increase damage if a Wizard casts Ignite on you, but I'm not sure about that

[true crescent]

I hope that ignite gets increased based on the caster's stats not the recipiant's.

[solemn epoch]

i see, a bummer, my unique armor for the barbarian is kinda usless then 😦

[chrome dagger]

Bad rolls are sad. It's like getting a visored Barbuta Helm with spell capacity

[pliant cloud]

It scales 100% from casters stats, but not sure about a person who got Ignite buff, just speculations

[solemn epoch]

thx for the answers tho, really appreciated

[runic warren]

I do think that rolls that do absolutely nothing for the classes that use that item probably shouldn't be allowed

[hybrid hemlock]

^^^^^^^^^

[pliant cloud]

In my opinion, stat rolls are good, it's not that easy to get best in slot item for your class, but items with class requirement for example Gjermundbu shouldm't get spell capacity attribute

[warm moth]

Who can help me with game start? I mean i cant start game
pm pls

[chrome dagger]

I'd be sad to get a purple or orange in raid and have it be useless. At least if it's in St Nick's store I can ignore it

It might do something in the future though. It'd be cool to have your characters learn spells from scrolls or something which could reset on death. Idk how it'd work on the back end but it'd turn items like that into some use (if you could find the scroll, then manage to string together a few successful runs)

But then casting items would need to open up, unless you change how a spell is casted (which could be done with a scroll). Maybe the idea doesn't fit as that's more of a rogue like element but I think it'd be cool

[whole dune]

They’re fixing item rolls for release

[brisk badge]

go in to steam right click dark and darker press properties then local files then verify integrity of beta files

[warm moth]

i`m trying. 0 files errors

[brisk badge]

hmm

[dapper totem]

Does anyone know what a golden key does?

[placid tangle]

When wizard pops haste and invis, does the after image of haste still appear?

[gilded verge]

What's the "hell" people are referring to?

[lament geode]

second floor that u get into with the red stone teleports @simple hornet theres a perk for it

[simple hornet]

I've seen clips of rogue players using their invis ability and moving for abit, I've tried this in different ways haven't been able to do so. How do I do it?

[burnt badger]

you need to equip a certain perk that allows you to do that

[dapper totem]

What does golden key do?

Help pls, what can i do?

[winter portal]

How does one deal with skeleton mages as a fighter? I've had the moost success cheesing them around corners, but if i'm not in a hallway i just get blasted

[chrome dagger]

It opens up a room with a lot of loot in it. My group and I have been trying to reach the promised land but have not. If I do, I will let you know lol

[green kayak]

take weapon mastery and bring a bow

[sick ferry]

In melee it's very hard but I had some success by jumping and crouching when he raises his hand to cast, your best bet is throwing axes to the head or using a 2h weapon. The tracking on it is super good but it won't cast further than about 3 tiles, think floor spike tiles

[chrome dagger]

Are you a fast fighter or do you wear heavy gear? Try sprinting at them while moving left and right to dodge the arrow, you might get hit but if you get the technique down you can rush them pretty quick. If you can't kill them as fast, try kiting them into somewhere open where you can keep circling to hope they miss. Archer Mobs are annoying as a fighter until you find a strat that works for you to deal with them. Crossbows can be used without weapon mastery, taking a bow might help more. I no life longsword which two hits skeles so I have good luck rushing them as long as I close the gap

Oh damn I misread mage. I tank the fireball, kill as quick as possible, and heal up hoping I don't get jumped. Not the best way but it works I swear lolol

[sick ferry]

It opens a treasure door in high roller dungeon sets only, I found it in the tile that has 2 iron doors in a trench behind a set of iron grates on the north and south ramps leading down

[sick ferry]

Nope,just the fade animation

[cyan pivot]

Does magic damage increase impact rogue poison?

[crude rampart]

Hi guys, do you know how long the current open alpha will last please?

[pure vessel]

does anyone one whats better rupture or wealpoint attack for rogue?

can someone help me pls?

[sage knoll]

is the goblin merchant bugged? i've only seen it once

[knotty rock]

It was like this in last playtest but it was to OP haha

[cyan pivot]

I can see it being OP, but it sounds like the wording should be changed to not state "magic damage"

[sick ferry]

Till Friday. If we are lucky, We get the weekend as an Xmas gift

[crude rampart]

ok Thks Knight

[full basin]

Are the Lich’s purple and blue circles magic or physical damage?

[simple hornet]

What level do I have to be to get this perk?

[restive aspen]

is it just me or does green armor from merchants always favor mage stats? Every time i look at their wares the clothing always has like + magical damage

[worldly nymph]

What seems to be better, dagger plus orb or magic sword for a wizard that uses ignite

[crude lantern]

in terms of damage or what? I would ask check the stats on the weapons and what's your playstyle

[worldly nymph]

Anything I suppose, damage sure but if there are other give and takes it would be nice to know

[gentle coyote]

How do I value magic weapon damage like on a crystal ball book or crystal sword

[prisma marsh]

Will these skins in the shop stay thri next tests or they gone at shit down

[real sphinx]

Does anyone know what is the primary 1 handed axe for barbarian?

[pearl anvil]

is the high roller fee per person in the party? or 70 for the whole party?

[opaque zodiac]

Per person

[elder night]

does anyone know how much surgical kits the white ones are worth? cause some say 200 and others say 10 but idk

[prisma marsh]

I Vendor them..

[mossy vine]

what is background noise?

[prisma marsh]

Will these skins in the shop stay thri next tests or they gone at shit down anyone from dev team or admin know that answer ? Am I grinding them all for no reason or?

[elder night]

i don't think u can buy from vendors tho

[prisma marsh]

I sell them to vendors lol

[real sphinx]

Does anyone know what is the primary 1 handed axe for barbarian?

[gentle coyote]

The horseman axe and the hatchet are the only one hands for barb

[elder night]

i think left is horse and right is hatchet they are quite nice but weak in pvp

[fluid basin]

when will the game be playable for a longer period of time ?

[prisma marsh]

Q3 next year

[gleaming moat]

are high roller lobbies worth it as a solo?

[orchid hound]

i'm curious about this too, as well as hell, since i haven't tried either yet

[restive aspen]

high roller is a good source of purples, you gotta take pve in smaller doses though and mostly run from fights as parties have good gear. not to mention need to loot enough valuables to make back the ante up fee

[mossy vine]

you sure? warden said aipril is early access

[gleaming moat]

Kinda sounds like it's not worth it haha

[restive aspen]

only real way to get good gear unless you can solo inferno

[chrome dagger]

All depends what type of gamer you are. To the casual player, likely not. To someone who wants to climb leaderboards spending whatever time you can in those dungeons learning them is a plus whether you escape or not (hopefully you're escaping)

[drifting briar]

wow Q3 i like it how its

[restive aspen]

we only have a little left of this play test, might as well experiment and find out what you can do

[orchid hound]

wait, so normal floor 3 is harder than high roller floor 2?

[dusk warren]

what do i do with a gold coin?

[crude lantern]

gold coin is just 1 piece of gold. Same gold you use for merchants

[restive aspen]

i think inferno is harder only because of the enemies you dont normally encounter on it

[dim flower]

How do you get a skeleton skin?

[dusk warren]

ah ok ty haha

[hoary ocean]

If I use Ignite on a teammate of mine does he benefit from the Melt perk cuz the fire damage somewhat originates from me. Or rather does Ignite work at all with the Melt perk?

[restive aspen]

spend your adventurer points you earn from extracting from maps on it

[orchid hound]

thank you. quick follow up: is it possible to find purples in normal floor 2?

[restive aspen]

maybe as a rare drop from elite mobs or locked chests? not sure iv never came across any yet

[dim flower]

adventurer poits? Someone like a soul?

[orchid hound]

thanks again. i'll be trying all the modes and floors in a bit

[chrome dagger]

You can find purples in Normal t2, just very rare. Last night out of like 8-10 hours of playing I ran into two things of loot that were purple on normal lobby t2

[broken root]

the skill "arcane mastery" for the wizard, does all the spell are arcane type or no? and so which one arent?

[kind abyss]

Horseman's Axe

[chrome dagger]

Elite Mobs and locked chests have a higher drop chance from what I recall, nightmare mobs have a really high (compared to anything else) drop chance but if you aren't the best at handling mobs I'd def try to cheese nightmares. They're noticeably harder then normals and elites (faster swings, stronger hits, and I think the skele fighters have a 1, 2 rather then just the 1, reset, 1, reset that normal skellies have)

[orchid hound]

great insight. are "nightmare" mobs exclusive to high roller? also, how would a rogue fare against stronger mobs and even bosses?

[restive aspen]

Are nightmares in normal lobbies? Do they have a visual difference between the elites that are red with glowing eyes?

[lavish cave]

is anyone aware how the ghost kings slam ability works? we tried jumping as he slams down but it still 1 shots all of us from full hp, and that was the mechanic last time

[chrome dagger]

Nightmares show up more in HR since HR only spawns Elite or Nightmare. I've seen Nightmare in Normal, I believe each mob is different. Elite Mummies for example kind of glow red, have the glowing red eyes.

I think I've only encountered nightmare skelles personally, I saw a buddy of mine encounter two nightmare hounds in Hell, which tbh were lackluster (but I find the Hounds to be the most trivial mob in the game, especially for being a B3 exclusive mob)

Nightmares have an electric effect. If you see someone generating sparks like Thor himself blessed the mob, that's a nightmare lol generally a blackish skin do

[nocturne violet]

how to avoid ghost king stump?

[crystal obsidian]

how do i lockpick what key is it?

[chrome dagger]

I'm not a Rogue Main but I've seen my friends handle bosses well as a Rogue. I mostly play fighter so my experience with other classes is limited (I'm not the best play tester) , if you're solo I think Rogue and Fighter are iffy to take on bosses/mini bosses. Unless you have ranged, they're hard to cheese and in a straight up fight a boss/mini boss is a formidable foe. Maybe as a Rogue it's more doable if you use your speed to circle, but if they clip you with a hit you're either dead or close to dead. If you can't heal up, then the second hit will kill you, a mob might, or getting jumped by players. A fighter runs the same risks, 2nd wind helps but if you take to much damage and your 2nd wind is gone you're in the same spot.

Rangers can cheese bosses well cause of range, if you're boss/mini boss hunting solo I'd almost suggest that unless you're an animal as a Rogue or Fighter. Having lots of heals helps every class, but if you are determined for Fighter/Rogue it's a must (I'd recommend health pots and bandages as you can pop a pot then bandage your cuts to heal faster)

Stronger mobs like elites, any class should be able to handle them as long as you know how to handle them. Melee can kite, feed damage and pull back, range is ranged and can cheese, magic is pretty powerful I'm no magic man but if you're a spell caster I'm sure you know how to handle mobs or at least you'll learn if you keep playing

[chrome dagger]

Have the lock pick in your hand (equip in a tool slot) press F, it'll do an action animation then pop up with a skill check (think dead by daylight if you've ever played), there's two little bars, a yellow and red, red is inside yellow, press space on yellow you'll pass the skill check and continue action of opening chest, you might get another skill check though so stay focused. if you hit it in the red it'll instant open. If you hit it outside of the bar your lockpick will break and you're no bueno. Rogues can take a perk that will lock pick without a pick which can be pretty useful, especially for gathering gear

[runic warren]

Is a Cleric with both Perseverance and Protection From Evil just a straight-up Rogue counter? If those perks do what they suggest, they would almost completely nullity a Rogue's tick damage with Poisoned Weapon/Rupture.

[tardy gust]

there will most likely be more playtests

[faint kiln]

Does anyone know what phsyical power does? and how many strenght gives u 1 dmg?

[fleet marlin]

give me barb duel wield tech

[timber mist]

Dark and Darker is planned for early Q2 Early Access on steam 🙂

[valid hinge]

do healing pots stack or does it just refresh the timer

[chrome dagger]

Ngl we might need an UncommonLootPlayer for this one. I have yet to find my courage to take on the bosses enough to help with them lol I did fight them once last play test and held out a decent while with my party

[prisma marsh]

Are the skins during this test carry over or wiped if I may ask?

[crystal obsidian]

k thanks how do trinkets work ? yes

[chrome dagger]

What do you mean by trinkets? sorry, like the loot findables?

@somber parcel - Go into character customization, right click on skele, remove

[somber parcel]

is there no way to remove the skeleton cosmetic?

[runic warren]

just right-click on it and click "Unequip"

[somber parcel]

had to right click lol ty

[crystal obsidian]

yes

[prisma marsh]

Does the skins carry over or wiped ?

[chrome dagger]

Sellables to the Collector for that sweet, sweet golden metal circles

[crystal obsidian]

okay

[orchid hound]

i appreciate the elaborate response. i'll be heading into game now and testing these.

[pale pewter]

hopefully there are plans to make matchmaking a bit easier on non-premade randoms in future updates? as lowbie, ive leveled one of each class to about lvl 7-8 and not grouped yet, also only exited the dungeon 1 time in total so far.. haha

[pine breach]

Hey guys, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but do you know if the dev team is open for "contributers" anyone who is up to help for character art work?
Here is my portfolio and some artworks I have done in the past.

https://www.artstation.com/3dbjork

[kind abyss]

^ I was wondering this yesterday, but your portfolio is actually good

[surreal forum]

does anyone know if campfires are "consumed" faster if more players sit? IE if 1 player sits at a campfire and heals 50HP, if 3 players sit instead, would they each heal 50 HP, or some lesser amount?

[fierce juniper]

same amount

[prisma marsh]

Anyone know if the skins stay? Thru next test/beta etc

[boreal torrent]

Everything wipes

[burnt badger]

Ask a mod or something idk

[prisma marsh]

We think that but 0 admin responded on this so far?

[icy obsidian]

Yo, I just noticed that chain lightning does no longer bounce up to 4 people but only 3 now, since when does that happen and are there any other changes to be aware of? Any changelog anywhere ?

[chrome dagger]

No worries! Talking about the game is getting me through my day at work lol only like 2 more hours till I get back to raiding. A lot of this is my opinion and preference, I could be wrong or off about things. Imo movement is king though, and a buddy of mine showed me this test how OP it can be if you use it. Experiment with moving around, crouching and jumping. Get a feel for it and once you have a feel for mob attack patterns try and put the two together

A less known hint I can give is try crouching and jumping at the same time in certain areas, unleash your inner parkour

[paper compass]

does armor gained from a chest piece apply to headshots or is the damage in the game limb specific and only armor on that limb reduces damage

[fierce juniper]

i have a question, anyone know how +true magical damage works? does it works for my regular dagger attacks on rogue?

[boreal torrent]

Your cosmetics are character bound, which means once the character gets deleted (it will) you'll lose the cosmetic

[midnight reef]

Where can you use the golden key?

[prisma marsh]

Just asking if we get skins or anything for this beta test figured we may get somthing also even if not these

[burnt badger]

Emote isnt tho so will i keep it then

[chrome dagger]

I believe it's all one armor rating but we might need @whole sluice to confirm that. I'm pretty sure a slash to the face in a kettle hat won't do more damage bc your face is unprotected vs something like the Arnet

[boreal torrent]

If you manage to have a single character after they reset everything then you will keep it for sure

[fleet marlin]

someone give me some barb teech

[paper compass]

double roar and spam left click with a felling axe, congrats u just wiped a squad

[burnt badger]

Felling axe or double wield

[orchid hound]

once again, thank you. i'd love to provide a more thorough reply to your previous message but other players need help too. hope you have fun with your raids.

[paper compass]

perference up to you, double wield hits faster but to compete with damage with felling you would need to do 2 headshots for every 1 headshot with the felling axe to get the same damage

[burnt badger]

So felling axe is just as good as double wield.

[fleet marlin]

double wield is only hatchets?

[misty gull]

How are you supposed to play this game solo?

[burnt badger]

Stealth

[paper compass]

depends on what the stats are, i would pick a green felling axe over 2 white horsemans, but thats probably because i use felling axe all the time, i think its better than dual wield

[chrome dagger]

Thank you! Good luck to you as well

[crude lantern]

balls

[chrome dagger]

Stealth helps, turn off lights, read the scenario before you make a move. If you see one guy running around give it a second and listen for more, then make a move based off of that. There's no such thing as running away when death is involved, tactical retreats will help if you find yourself in a bad spot

[burnt badger]

Oh ok. I told my friend that but he wouldnt believe me. He said he has 10 extra dmg if he dual wields. N hes slow when he uses 2H axes

[paper compass]

the 10 damage perk does apply to both 1 handers which is mostly the only reason anyone would dual wield axes on barb, and yea 2h is slow depending on what you use but with felling axe as long as you land a hit you can keep combo attacking really fast

[dense umbra]

How do I report a player for his name?

[burnt badger]

Oh ok, thanks for all the info.

[chrome dagger]

I believe you can DM a Warden, but you might want to use #report-wicked-mod-only

[oblique sun]

OK so now that I've played the game a while and checked it out. I'm beginning to think that the rogues are slightly over powered. The stealth lasts far longer than it should and not everyone has the ability to knock them out of stealth. I think the lack of sound when they are in stealth is over powered especially when invisible pots you can't move after taking them. I also believe their stab is unreasonably fast despite them maybe being proficient in daggers. I'm finding that even as a plate wearer with a shield and successful blocks its unreasonably difficult to out maneuver or out swing a rogue blow for blow.

[fleet marlin]

when should i put on armor as barb @paper compass

[chrome dagger]

Rogues are to fast to try and tank out. You won't match their speed as a fighter, but if you want a chance you're gonna have to try. Moving back to keep them W forward, try and keep them in front of you and spam the hell out of all your movement. Dodging a rogue is harder then blocking one, but you can't block when they're slipping behind you. If a Rogue gets the jump on you it's just a blood bath until someone dies, especially if it's a good rogue. Wouldn't say they're broken though since they're just as squishy as an elite spider (I kid but the point still is there)

[frozen lodge]

Just stab them in the head with a spear, rangers are good at that.

[modest fox]

is there any benefit to dual wielding daggers? you can't use both at the same time so whats the point

[paper compass]

when? i dont take the perk that gives extra dmg with no armor so i just have northern tunic on all the time either a white one from the shop for 13g or whatever i got

[tacit hazel]

Click both your mouse buttons at the same time and report back

[chrome dagger]

As a fighter? You'll need duel wield I believe

[modest fox]

nah rogue

[chrome dagger]

It doesn't let you take it naturally? Wild lol I'm not at my PC right now so I can't play around and find out. Hopefully a Rogue comes along and lets us know

[violet plank]

Dual wielding is for stat sticks as a rogue. You use your main dmg dagger and the other one is just to hold another dagger to use later or as a stat stick

[drifting bison]

its not consumed faster with multiple people, no

[tawdry hornet]

Did the amount of portals get nerfed yesterday, or am I just super unlucky? I've had like 12 games now where I haven't even seen a single red or blue portal. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding something 😒

[oblique sun]

I can see what you are saying i just find it unreasonable a rogue face to face against a plate wearing class of any kind is a win. I understand them being faster and them getting behind gives them advantages i get that but face to face a stock rogue should not be able to boss down a plate wearer of any class imo

[serene shoal]

can you block spells with shields ?

[gleaming moat]

rogues can't break barrels with daggers can they?

[tawdry hornet]

Sure doesn't seem like it!

[timber mist]

#report-wicked-mod-only Thanky you 🙂

[grave lance]

is the stash deletion bug still happening?

[wicked summit]

as a wizard looking for pure damage should you be running magic power or true magic damage

[proud seal]

What are you guys' opinions on best barb perks and abilities?

[river void]

health is so hard to come by in game

[gleaming moat]

tbh if you are losing to a stock rogue whilst fully plated it's a skill issue

[violet plank]

This might seem like a meme response, but you can literally just hit them in the head with a swing twice and they flop normally. Just flick and follow them as they try and get behind you. You shouldn’t take lots of dmg while in full plate so you’ll normally win the dmg race. That and you can second wind mid fight or preemptively as they hit you the first time.

[tidal blade]

What stat, if any, most effects the bleed damage from Rogue on Rupture? Do any stats currently effect the Poison damage from Poisoned Weapons?

[ruby crown]

what is the golden key used for?

[grave lance]

^skill issue, sure... if they are a stock nude rogue but have a beefed up dagger, they go invis and hit you 3 times before you can really react to get away, in which they are faster with base stats anyways so they will stick to you. I dont like the class in general and think a rework of it should be done. however i dont see that happening, now if you have a rogue fully kitted to the teeth its almost impossible to kill them unless your legolas

[burnt badger]

so i've been playing a rogue and i was wondering if there's a certain trader i should focus on?

[drifting bison]

opening a door with an infinite treasure pile

[ruby crown]

where is this door?

[grave lance]

trade me the key and I can show you the world

[vague jay]

if my stash is full, is there a way i can move items to a different class?

[drifting bison]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm80mYYw6Ek

[ruby crown]

thank you

[gleaming moat]

Find someone to trade them to and then trade em back to your other account, will cost you each 15gp though, that's the only way I can think of

[nova bluff]

what can i do with the rubysilver powder?

[opaque zodiac]

Amount was lessened but also they appear mostly at the end, so head for the center of the circle…

[grave lance]

one of the traders take it to make armor... i believe it is the leathersmith, however you should see which armor your class you play uses and try for those. If you go into the services tab of every trader you can see what they sell for what amount of ore

[haughty tendon]

is it possible to make a party chat on the dark and darker discord or do I have to find an empty chat

[tawdry hornet]

Thanks!

[misty gull]

Why does my shield not work? I block but it still hurts me. I don't understand

[gleaming moat]

believe it or not, it's % based lol

[plucky warren]

Can people see you while you use the rogue cloak thing whenever im invis people walk straigt up to me and hit me

[burnt badger]

does magical healing increase cleric heals on party members

[gleaming moat]

they probably saw you go invisible, you should take the perk where you can move 10 steps whilst hiding

[fading quest]

you can also hear invisible peoples footsteps

[chrome dagger]

From my understanding, yes

[cursive viper]

Do we get to keep our shop items purchased from adventure currency?

[chrome dagger]

I don't think so, a dev would have to confirm but it's likely that things will be wiped. Adventure Currency and customization options are new to the tests this run around

[normal iris]

Sad my squeleton ...

[tidal blade]

Yes everything is permanent and if ever removed from your account you can sue

[lone valley]

Question: Does equipment persist through death?
As in if you start with equipment, is that lost if it's not the default starter equipment

[cursive viper]

Not what I was asking but ok.

[deft jay]

Can anyone explain whats the difference between spell book and wizard staff?

[chrome dagger]

Not true or accurate lol

Starting equipment for class comes back (example: fighter has padded tunic, torches, cloth pants, arming sword, shield) you'll always have that back. Anything found in raid, or brought into raid that is not starter equipment will be lost @lone valley

Spellbook cast faster @deft jay

[cursive viper]

@deft jay Staffs hit walls, books do not.

[graceful fable]

Does anyone know when the next playtest is going to be ?

[frosty charm]

Is second wind magic or physical healing

[lone valley]

Thank you

[thick parrot]

Wizard staff can melee, Book gives magic stats and casts faster.

The items have different move speeds too

[crude lantern]

not yet

[noble minnow]

Does anyone know if the ranger perk "Ranged Weapons Master" apply to bows/crossbows or is that for the spear?

[chrome dagger]

I believe Physical but that might be a MadCoww or Dev question

[deft jay]

Thanks for explaining guys!

[crude lantern]

where is madcow btw? I haven't seem him at all during this playtest. Last playtest he was writing novels in Q&A

[bitter depot]

Anyone knows how to fix the bug where the game will randomly freeze for like 10 seconds, from time to time?

[cursive viper]

Best buy

[noble minnow]

i ask because i dont see the passive popup on my hud so im not sure if its active

[chrome dagger]

Probably busy. It can be a lot to answer questions, tbh I'm here because talking about the game this much makes me feel like I'm still playing even though I'm at work (I work on a PC so it's easy to use discord)

[normal iris]

So as we said if I buy skins I will keep them for the future ?

[crude lantern]

I haven't seen him type even a single letter in discord

[stray siren]

does the skelly skin actually give you -20 armor and +10 magic resistence?

[crude lantern]

Yes, hence why it is written. Imagine devs giving you stat info and then like "it's just a joke lol".

[chrome dagger]

Probably because we've all been so busy in the playtest lol I see they've been in QnA yesterday so I imagine they're around when they have time
#q-and-a message (didn't wanna ping em again so I stalked their discord activity lolol)

[stray siren]

thats what i thought

[chrome dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/negative-topgun-gif-10919548 - Ah damn. It's a gif that says "That's a negative ghost rider"

[amber hazel]

How do you apply for the troubadour role?

[tawdry hemlock]

anyone know how to create a voice channel and invite?

[chrome dagger]

#📢community-announcements message

[warm tide]

What are the half hearts on the traders.

[chrome dagger]

In this server? Ngl I have no idea. I'll see if I can find it for you, I haven't used the party chats here

[tawdry hemlock]

it's fine I can prob figure it our myself 😛

[green kayak]

Can the pavise shield be destroyed?

[iron minnow]

revert the amount of portal, I legit just gets killed by mob in final circle

[lone bronze]

What is inside the treasure hoard in hell and how much space do you need to loot it?

[thick parrot]

If you open the “Class” section and look at your characters stats, swap between the Skelly and Human

It’s a 2% swing from Armor -> Magic Resist

[steep mulch]

Will the skeleton skin transfer to the full game upon release?

[dusk warren]

whats the point of dual wielding as a rogue?

[noble minnow]

does anyone know if the ranger perk "Ranged weapons expert" is bugged and just doesnt display in the hud?

[nocturne gyro]

In a session of 16 players, how many blue portals spawn at the end? Could everyone theoretically escape?

[brazen fjord]

Does magical power increase heal on cleric?

[broken root]

it is possible with a fighter and the skill weapon mastery to go healing? or obv need spell memory?

[pliant cloud]

Its infinite, you can loot it infinitely

[fading quest]

spell memory needed

[lone bronze]

How much space do you need to loot it?

[fathom crow]

You get the extra buffs from both weapons at the same time, and with a castillo/stiletto + rapier you can switch between dps and range.

[chrome dagger]

It really depends. I feel like enough portals do spawn to have everyone leave, most might not live that long. If they do, they don't take the portal before it gets taken by storm. Final storm I've seen like 4-5 portals easily accessible three of which are normally used by the last party standing (unless Solos take over the map) I've seen multiple groups escape, lots of solos escape, and no one escape with those portals

[warm tide]

whats the point of blaging a rogue ;V. More options

[dusk warren]

ah right so none powered are useless but the power i understand

[tight charm]

skins will transfer for the next playtest?

[worldly nymph]

So when it comes to stats on certain weapons that the class can't utilize, that is just an oversight right? Or is there some secret use to having knowledge as a fighter

[chrome dagger]

Stats give bonuses to things. Will I believe gives magic resistance, might not be 100% applicable to a fighter but if you have a lot of will you're gonna be less afraid of magic, I've heard through the grapevine this will be refined (for something like Spell Capacity rolling on a barb or fighter only helmet) however idk for sure. It makes sense that not every item will have a great roll, I think stats like Will can still apply to barbs and fighters just not as much as say strength

[worldly nymph]

Sure stats was one thing but stuff like spell knowledge etc was the big one

[plain void]

How do i use a spell i am a cleric

[chrome dagger]

Yeah that'll likely be refined unless they introduce a way for that to be utilized

[kind abyss]

What's the point of using the spell book, does it have any advantage over the staff?

[plain void]

i select the spell using E and then the spell appears with the number 4 but i can't use it

[green kayak]

does anyone know if the pavise shield can be destroyed when it's deployed on the ground?

[fathom crow]

Probably not

[steep mulch]

Will the skeleton skin transfer to the full game upon release?

[junior dome]

dont think anything will

[fathom crow]

Hold e, hover your mouse over a spell, release e, equip your staff and hold right click until the bar at the bottom fills. Release to cast.

[chrome dagger]

A spellbook casts faster then a staff, a staff can break pots and bonk on the head - @kind abyss

Character Custmization - Likely will not transfer

I'll ask around for the Pavise question, I usually keep em on my back

[junior dome]

spellcasting should have a casting tutorial before you make the class lol

[fathom crow]

Lmao i guess with the amount of people asking that

[green kayak]

Thank you!

[junior dome]

wonder when playtest #4 will be

[lucid whale]

Hey team, will I keep my cosmetic items like the skeleton skins and blue torches after the playtest? If not, are we going to be able to get them again?

[pearl flax]

Does the base item crystal ball cast at the same speed as a spellbook? or is spellbook faster since crystal ball lets you do the stabby stabby

[wintry anchor]

anyone know what spell capacity stat is does that just mean i have 6 fireballs instead of 5?

[junior dome]

prob just increases the amount of spells u can cast not sure if its limited to a specific number @wintry anchor , @lucid whale stuff like that would prob have to be regotten

[wintry anchor]

Spell book lets you move faster while casting

[chrome dagger]

I think Spellbook is king in cast speed

Spell Capacity allows you to take higher ranked spells, for a cleric I believe res is like a tier 9? And I think it takes up 9 spell cap? I could be wrong I don't manage that but it is related to your magical ability. the description from #❓faq is " - Spell Capacity Bonus - Not implemented in the game yet. Will determine how many or the level of the spelss you can memorize and take into the game." however I believe this is from last playtest and since has been implemented in game

[worldly nymph]

Spellbook for cast speed, orb to ponder and also bring a dagger

[lucid whale]

Is there a full release date planned for Dark and Darker, or is that unknown at the moment?

[pearl flax]

yea right now + to Knowledge stat feels like the super stat, while spell capacity feels like a subset (just 1 aspect of the knowledge stat). When in doubt, go w/ knowledge, although I heard that having any +% to spell capacity will round up your spell capacity by +1 (like having 1 more knowledge), so having at least 1 modifier be +% spell capacity on an item is valuable (at least that first modifier -- the rest might not mean anything unless you can get the % high up enough)

[worldly nymph]

Unknown, hopefully it takes fucking YEARS so people shut up for awhile

[wild lagoon]

does anyone know if the shop cosmetics will be a alpha item u get to keep for the full game release

[worldly nymph]

I would assume you get to keep nothing from these playtests, it's a playtest and not even a beta, assume you will lose EVERYTHING

[naive carbon]

Will the Game WIPE the inventory after the play test??

[chrome dagger]

Idk full release, Q2 is scheduled for EA - #q-and-a message

[naive carbon]

is that a yes?

[chrome dagger]

Yeah sorry I was on chat cool down and I was hoping I could use emoji language, my bad

[junior dome]

Everything will be wiped stats levels gear ect it will all go to the loot gods

[nimble forum]

Hey does anyone know if the pavise can block the lichs death ball?

[sharp ore]

will cosmetics be wiped??

[fathom crow]

Yes

[sharp ore]

frfr?

[sick sorrel]

Oh, there is QA, Does Revive Altar refresh like others?

[chrome dagger]

I asked about the Pavise and if it breaks on the ground else where, just waiting for a reply. I would say no, but I'll make sure to ask and clarify

[nimble forum]

Yea I wanna know if we could use a pavise against the lich

[fathom crow]

I think yeah

[worthy robin]

Hi All new here and to the game. Just curious with there ever just be a solo que added or plans to add it to the game?

[fathom crow]

Not afaik

[chrome dagger]

This is from the #❓faq added either last play test or after last play test, this is what was said. "Is a Solo Queue going to be implemented in the future?

• We will need to test it first. We may make these tests public in future playtests to help us collect data. We will make our decision after these tests. Please note that the original game was balanced and designed around mostly party play so any solo-queue mode may be heavily imbalanced." #❓faq message

[normal idol]

Is there anything else we can do with an ancient scroll except selling it ?

[unreal wagon]

Any word if theyre going to let us keep any of the emotes or skins we unlock during this playtest?

[upper gate]

Can you trigger your own trap?

[worldly nymph]

Try jumping on it

[upper gate]

I'll take that as a yes

[plain void]

how do i revive an allly?

[upper gate]

Oh god that is an obnoxiously large emoji. I meant to put KEKW but this server doesn't allow custom emojis I guess. My apologies.

[worldly nymph]

Take their shirt off 😳 and then pull out their soul heart, put it on your belt like a potion then take it to a revive altar, one of those altars with the floating white ball above it and you can use it there to revive them

[chrome dagger]

Might be added in the future as of now it's just a money maker

@upper gate - yes you can lol you can also trigger your party rangers traps.... Don't ask how I know

@unreal wagon - Likely everything will be wiped but we'll want to wait to see what the devs say at the end of playtest

@plain void - Remove their chest armor they'll have a soul heart, you can put it in inv or in your tool hot bar, go to res shrine, make sure heart is in tool bar and switch to it, res with F (I was to late Vincent got it lol)

[upper gate]

I haven't played my first game yet. Is the shirt thing serious? 😄

[worldly nymph]

Or roll a nerfed cleric with the ability to resurrect and then alert everything in a 10 mile radius as you start up the fusion reactor that is the revive spell

[chrome dagger]

Yes. If you value your companions and want them to live, you must strip them of their shirt. I think the same thing happens IRL but I'd have to confirm

[restive aspen]

imo its easier just to take their good gear and extract than it is to find a revive shrine tbh

[upper gate]

@chrome dagger Thanks 🙂

Also the shirt thing... Why? Is there some lore reason?

[plain void]

How do i switch items in my action bar?

[worldly nymph]

It's just how the item exists in game, under the chest armor, either that or the devs are pervs

[kind abyss]

You try to remove someones heart through a set of plate armor and tell me how that goes.

[chrome dagger]

Not that I know of but I will try and think of one for you. That'd be funny, pretty sure vincent is bang on here though

@plain void left tool bar is 3, right is 4, press to cycle

[civic magnet]

Why does ignite do more damage than it's supposed to?

[worldly nymph]

Does it?

[upper gate]

Much appreciated. I want it as homoerotic as possible, if you please.

[civic magnet]

IDK, just got 2 shot by a wizard in melee range as a barb

[fallen totem]

Do you ever get free roam of lower levels in the dungeon if everyone else dies? If all of the other groups die on the first level, apart from you as a solo or your group, if you go down to the next level does that spawn in a whole new set of players or can you go around without worrying about other players?

[burnt badger]

can you block wizard spells at all?

[worldly nymph]

Did you manage to see if he was using a sword or a dagger when he knocked your dick into the dirt?

[rapid kettle]

what does ale do?

[civic magnet]

dagger

[faint stream]

Can someone tell me the difference between spellbooks/staffs and crystal balls

[worldly nymph]

Large strength buff, but makes you drunk and dizzy, cleric has a passive that can eliminate it

@civic magnet Strong dagger plus fire buff, plus the fire passive that makes anyone hit by fire being weak to physical damage

[cosmic osprey]

Does anyone have stats on monsters/zone timings? I know these are subject to change but I'm wanting to figure out exact HP values and times when the zone moves.

Also, does anyone know how damage stats work? I.e. if I have a weapon that says Weapon Damage 33, does that mean it does 33 damage directly to health? Or is it scaling number, like Attack Damage in League?

[drifting bison]

its direct, but mitigated by armor

[brisk badge]

whys ranger so op?

[worldly nymph]

It's not, get good

[fallen totem]

Unlimited Arrows

[cosmic osprey]

headshots do mega damage

[main smelt]

their incredibly squishy and good armor will mitigate them a lot

[rapid kettle]

thanks. but i should have clarified. What does drunk do? just make ur camera wonky?

[faint stream]

drink some

[worldly nymph]

Yep just dizzy vision, might make zombies look hot so be careful

[cosmic osprey]

Do you happen to know if mobs like skeletons and zombies have a base armor stat of some kind? (aside from obvious shields)

[drifting bison]

i can imagine they do yeah, some minibosses also have projectile reduction like the minotaur

[main smelt]

they do but we dont have the source code but its separated by quality of the enemy, normal, elite, nightmare

[cosmic osprey]

Gotcha. I wish there was some way we could see monster stats in-game instead of just do some incredibly handwavey testing

Like when you loot a body you can see stat blocks too or something
or Fopdoodle releases a "compendium" LOL

[chrome dagger]

Not definitive, but no body has heard of one being destroyed. I'm gonna mess around tonight and I'll let you know after I test it

[drifting bison]

there is a weapon damage calculator i could send you that might help slightly with testing values

[cosmic osprey]

Yeah, that sounds great actually
I'd be curious to take a gander
If I can figure out some more solid numbers I may make a spreadsheet or something

[wicked hamlet]

Golden room spawns only in high roller?

[green kayak]

you're a hero

[chrome dagger]

That's the word on the street, I plan to investigate more. Spent like three hours last night hunting that room down lol I feel like a character from an adventure movie

[feral pivot]

Does +Physical or +Magic Dmg work for bows?

[burnt wyvern]

anyone know the best class for rogue?

[craggy jackal]

is there a way to split a stack

[chrome dagger]

Physical should, magical will require a magic attack I believe (I think Divine strike works for fighter, buffed attacks from the clerics buff, and wizard buffs for magic damage to apply)

[fringe hull]

Do headshots with melee also do extra dmg or just ranged atks?

[feral pivot]

cool ok thanks 🙂

[rocky onyx]

Can you even dodge floor spikes in the maze?

[chrome dagger]

Click drag with left alt should work - @craggy jackal

@fringe hull - Any attack to the head will do more damage, bow, sword, fist, magic missel, ect

[craggy jackal]

tysm

[chrome dagger]

Like the best play style?

[fringe hull]

Thank you. I throw a torch then wait for them to almost go down then jump on

[burnt wyvern]

the perks

[chrome dagger]

Up to you. You can opt for damage if you want PvP, or you could disable traps, pick locks, and be the ultimate rat to make your wealth. Maybe a rogue will come in and drop their preferred set up

[fringe hull]

Iv been running poison,backstab,5% dagger buff, 10 steps while hiding to level 32 solo rat

[burnt wyvern]

do u have a setup?

[chrome dagger]

Nah I haven't played Rogue. I like when my friends take the trap and chest ones since it makes dealing with the map and getting loot easier, but you'd be silly to turn down a combat rogue if you're not the ultimate mob slayer. Holding their attention well your rogue cuts them down is awesome to see, even better if they try to turn and deal with the rogue only to be cut down by you bc they split their attention to late

[wise mantle]

anyone know base fist damage?

[nimble bloom]

are barbarians gud?

[dusk warren]

if you have +5 additional magical damage, does this count for your melee attacks or do you have to cast spells? note that its on my pants

[nova basalt]

Hey my friend just lost his most valuable stuff and some gold after getting disconnected from the game, even the stuff in his stash. Is there a probability of a hacker or am I just talking nonsense and it's a bug?

[fathom crow]

They can be especially when buffed by a cleric, but sometimes they are really clunky and hit walls/miss completely. They can 1-shot some classes, depending on their weapon/enemies armor.

[nimble bloom]

a connection issue, no hacker. bad luck. sorry

[river path]

can you use rouges ambush with invis pots

[undone berry]

Hey if you’re looking to one shot and roll through teams is the barbarian what I should be playing?

[nova basalt]

Right, the weird things is his blue stuff from the stash disappearing. What caused it?

[nimble bloom]

yes

[white pasture]

how do I get unbanned

[fathom crow]

Barb is best for 1-shotting potebtial but it might not always be the best choice. @white pasture DM a person with Tavern Master role on disc

[devout crest]

is spell capacity the same as knowledge?

[undone berry]

Thank you both ❤️

[split basalt]

How do I quick transfer items in my inventory after a raid into my stash, and vice versa? I was told it was shift Lclick but upon attempting it, it did not work.

[fathom crow]

Shift rclick

[craggy jackal]

will we not be able to keep our things we bought with adventure currency?

[nova basalt]

His blue stuff from the stash disappeared after getting disconnected. What caused it?

[fathom crow]

Nothing will be kept

[craggy jackal]

sad

[fading gulch]

hey does anyone know if bonus stats from weapons equipped in slot 1 and 2 boost each others damage as well?

[fathom crow]

Yes, but only the extra stats (marked in blue)

[fading gulch]

so if i use a shit weapon in the 2nd slot that has additional damage that gets applied to my 1st slot main weapon?

[fathom crow]

Yes afaik (you mean dual wielding right?)

[honest cargo]

opinions on kris dagger for rogue?

[fading gulch]

no not dual wielding just another loadout basically in the 2nd slot

[fading gulch]

castillon and stilleto i found best for me

[honest cargo]

i usually stick with rondel, is stilleto similar?

[celest bear]

I got the golden key does anyone know where to use it in hell

[fathom crow]

Oh no then they dont. I thought you meant dual wielding. @honest cargo Stiletto is just rondel but left handed and hits a little bit downwards instead of straight. Still only stabs i think.

[fading gulch]

ah okay good to know ty
@honest cargo you want to go with left handed daggers for rogue cause the last/3rd attack deals insanely high damage

[raven ginkgo]

any wizards know if fire mastery works with zap? it's a "light" spell but it also applies burn??

[subtle anvil]

arcane mastery perk, which spells are arcane?

[raven ginkgo]

invis and magic missiles

[fathom crow]

The ones with a purple icon if im not mistaken? So MM and invis like Dementia said

[subtle anvil]

and how would we know those are the arcane?

[raven ginkgo]

they put it in the faq

[twilit yarrow]

probably not

[left blade]

does the skeleton skin actually nerf your armor

[devout crest]

• does the skeleton skin change your hitbox

[undone summit]

when does the playtest end and is there gonna be another one?

[unborn niche]

cant seem to find the exits do they just spawn random?

[undone summit]

i belive they start spawning near the middle of zone

idrk tho, that just where the majority are

[dusk warren]

+x additional magic damage, is this for spells or does your weapon damage increase?

[elfin ore]

Does anyone know what the bind spell for claric does? Is it worth using over other spells with its current cost?

[little bone]

Is there a legit test area? In low roller, there's maybe 2 seconds of tavern time

[little meteor]

are people using cheats already?

[little meteor]

stops enemy movement for ~1s

[wise mantle]

what are silver and gold coins used for?

[little meteor]

buy gold coins with 3 silver from Treasurer

[prime raft]

@elfin ore it freezes them for .75 seconds. It needs a buff but it is good if u need to chase a running coward

[elfin ore]

it seems it would be hard to utilize with how long it takes to charge up most spells, right?

[prime raft]

No it's fairly easy and quick charge. It's just tough to find a certain skill to replace it with

[elfin ore]

What is the meta? I believe I use Lesser Heal, Holy Light, Divine Strike, Bless, and Protection

[prime raft]

I usually use +10 weapon damage buff or bind depending on my team.

U could even switch out bless for bind or divine strike aswell. But both heals are meta along with protection

[elfin ore]

yeah I guess I'll just have to test out bind and see how it feels.

[prime raft]

I usually use bind when I'm solo so I can out move them

[wary quail]

I wish the base class Ranger had something melee and the Rogue had two daggers.

[pliant shoal]

Why that game is shit in mm? 5 games and always solo vs 2

[elfin ore]

I've also been using smite instead of judgement, not sure which one is better overall

[prime raft]

Smite is way better. 1 shot most people with magic damage gear

[floral otter]

will the battle royale ring ever be removed or will there be different mode without the ring?

[wary quail]

God I hope so.

[hardy mortar]

I have a question does anyone know if we keep the cosmetics

[prime raft]

No it's testing. Everything gets wiped every wipe

[odd cargo]

are tan items more rare than orange items

[vapid crystal]

Any plans on adding a Dungeons and Dragons type-a hell dungeon or secret area? Maybe the Abyss? I think it would add some nice spice and scare factor to the already spooky 2nd dungeon

[wraith veldt]

Has there been any official response/opinion on solo queue from the team? Just curious what their thoughts were, if they were open to solo queue, etc

[gray saddle]

What are the chances we get an extension? 😅😄

[wraith veldt]

Last play test (November) was only a weekend long which I believe they extended by 24 hours. This time we got almost a week but who knows

[coarse cove]

whats the best weapon for the wizard?

[agile ember]

can someone explaint he ressurect spell? Doesnt seem to work how i thought it would

[somber eagle]

Who would support a NON-PVP gamemode? Angry react for no love heart for yes

[honest cargo]

does that also make it easier to hit around shields

[tardy crescent]

Is scamming in tradechat allowed? some dude just scammed me with the classic runescape swapperoo

[fading stag]

Mister @whole sluice how do u kill the ghost king this playtest he make no sens

[fading gulch]

yes with the castillon definitely cause its a overhead stab

[tired lichen]

if u played runescape then u should know by now. gg u got scammed

[bitter bison]

so i bought the blue torch from the shop, how do i get it to buy it and equip it ?

[tardy crescent]

@tired lichen Just wondering if it was allowed, I realize it is my fault xD losing all the cash regardless in a little over 30hrs

[mossy vine]

how much damage boost gives 1 strenght?

[surreal pine]

Hello, blue extract are randomly place or what ?
Been 5 - 10 min we are looking for one nothing

[honest cargo]

they spawn in between the rounds of the circle closing, usually toward the center of the map or in big rooms or major corridors, only a few spawn in the first 1 or 2 rounds but more start to spawn as the circle closes

[surreal pine]

copy ty

[drifting bison]

assuming a target you can't just wail on without it hitting back, ranger

[wraith veldt]

Is there no feedback channel?

[karmic tiger]

#1048762118255673428

[silk patio]

Is anyone else having the issue with constantly disconnecting?

[gentle jolt]

is the lich still in the game or is it only ghost king rn

[rocky galleon]

how big can ur group be; is it up to 3

[royal vector]

Will everything be wiped from playtest when the game releases ?

[spare tundra]

I often see people in videos crouch-walking while invisible with a potion or rogue's ability, but when I move in any way while invisible, i become visible. why

[drifting bison]

need stealth ability, the rogue passive

[royal vector]

Wizzard invisibility spell allows you to move for example ( At least the wizzard itself???)

[spare tundra]

is stealth ability something i have to get

[drifting bison]

only rogue can have it, wizard can also move during their invis spell, not potions

[spare tundra]

ooh ok tyty

[gusty cedar]

Does dual wielding on rogue give a small attack speed bonus? It kind of feels like it

[pliant cloud]

Yes, you can move

[unkempt scaffold]

My alchemist trader will not reset - it has 0 books or crystal balls for almost 2 days now - i dont really understand why - go you only but so many for the entire play test?

[restive summit]

Does the Blue/Purple Surgical kit do anything different than a low quality/Common kit???

[gusty cedar]

faster cast, also ive used a grey surgical kit on barb and i dont think it full healed me either

[austere canyon]

how can i see my ping?

[dapper quest]

is bandage better than potion??

[drifting bison]

bandage is instant, potion over time, you can stack them

[austere canyon]

any way to see my ping at least to know what server to choose?

[hallow harness]

Does fighter's dual wield apply to two-handed weapons?

[pale snow]

No, its for additional stats and diffrent angle of attacks

[terse hazel]

Anyone figure out how much health the lich and/or ghost king have?

[fierce sorrel]

Why do some people bring gold into the dungeon?

[devout crest]

accident/found it

[terse hazel]

They forgot to clear their inventory or they found it

[fallow sapphire]

Will we be able to keep the cosmetics for the next playtest? Or is there no point to buying them

[eternal junco]

What do i use golden key for?

[devout crest]

you wont keep the currency either so whats the point in not buying them?

[desert zodiac]

any tips against the centaur lord? it tanks a lot of damage and hits hard

[eternal junco]

Play ranged and find high ground

[tame lark]

Does rogue bleed still get affected by magic damage and if so, which one is the one that affect its?

[gusty cedar]

^ or poison? ive been wondering also

[tame lark]

an easy 700g on trade post tho @gusty cedar last playtest it did iirc

[simple maple]

the blue torch is going to be permanent? or is only to use in this playtest

[storm temple]

is it possible to rezz an enemy if u loot his heart/soul thing ? idk why but i like this idea. 🤔

[pliant cloud]

Every thing will be wiped
@storm temple I think it is possible
@simple maple Till the end of playtest

[golden oak]

With the Rogue's Poison Weapon Attribute doing " deals 4 magic damage over 4 seconds" Would "+? True Magical Damage" or "+? Additional Magical Damage" apply to it?

[honest oasis]

anyone know how to kill ghost king

[prime dawn]

What does buff duration entail? is it how long I am buffing someone else or how long my own buffs last?

[pliant cloud]

Poison is not magical thing 😄

[potent folio]

When the game launches I get "couldn't connect to server. quit the game" any known fixes?

[honest cargo]

yes

[random kraken]

how do you dodge / counter the lich's homing attack

[desert siren]

Guys, Spellpower buff give Bonus healing too?

[regal merlin]

will the cosmetic stuff get wiped too?

[undone wigeon]

does the barbarians savage roar ability reduce all damage done by 25% or is it just the bonus so if someone had 4+ damage it would only reduce damage by 1 total ?

[worthy gorge]

how do I dual wield barb?

[thorn dagger]

I think they made it so Poison Weapon can't get buffed at all. IIRC there was an issue where it got modified by + Magic Damage % in older playtests and Rogues with legendaries made it so powerful you could kill a fully geared Fighter with a single stab

[hushed galleon]

it is... but poison does not get buffed...

[regal merlin]

nvm i foudn the answer

[golden oak]

Makes sense

[hushed galleon]

hatchet + horsemans axe. are sold by weaponsmith and woodsman

[acoustic remnant]

what does golden key do ?

[spice imp]

When is the wipe ?

[hushed galleon]

Dec. 23, 2022, at 4 a.m. ET

[honest oasis]

does anyone know how to kill ghost king?

[tame scaffold]

I JUST DIED FROM A MONK DOING HIS SPELL ????

[gilded olive]

Shouldve gone to confession

[wary epoch]

Will my progress ever be reset due to an update?

[worthy gorge]

thanks

[drifting bison]

keep running or tank one on full hp + prot

[jovial spear]

Why are archers sooo over powered, they had all the range, movement, healing with 0 draw backs why is there other classes if archer is 100x better than them all

[tiny grail]

any place to check what all the armor stats do? like the difference between physical, true physical damage and such

[bold pond]

Does true magical damage work even for physical attacks like daggers?

[fickle umbra]

Does ignite buff spell damage like magic missiles?

[restive aspen]

is it still possible to solo inferno?

[drifting bison]

yes

[tulip vigil]

No

[dull elbow]

when does the play test end?

[keen crane]

How do I make a party vc in the discord?

[orchid hound]

any tips? especially for solo melee?

[drifting bison]

which one of the melees?

[keen sonnet]

Is spell capacity fully implemented and if it is. what does it do? i have a few pieces of spell capacity and it's not giving me any more charges on my abilities.

[orchid hound]

rogue. i've only tried about 2 runs so far and with the limited knowledge that i have, it seems impossible to outrun dogs. as for the centaur, i'm unsure. those are the only 2 unique mobs i've encountered so far.

[drifting bison]

it ups your limit of costs you can take, which means you can take the more expensive spells in conjunction

[drifting bison]

Dogs have a small aggro range to avoid them, but it might be possible to kite them with a rapier. Centaur you're just going to have to avoid entirely as a solo melee unless you can perfectly space him, since he's a miniboss and has a good chunk of health, ideally you want go for the rooms that lack those enemies and bring a good amount of healing and invis potions for when things get hairy. Rogue is by far the hardest melee to use there but it's not impossible to survive and loot a little

[orchid hound]

i see. how common are the dogs and centaurs? i'd assume centaurs are as plentiful as wraiths, for example?

[waxen cape]

what loadout is the meta for ranger weapon wise?

[pliant cloud]

There's no "meta" lol. it's ALPHA PLAYTEST 😄

[drifting bison]

centaur only spawns in 1 of 3 possible rooms from what I've gathered, and dogs in about 2-3

[stable sail]

Do we know when playtest 4 will be?

[drifting bison]

Longbow is king in fresh/low gear, once you get a bit more +damage on a couple pieces recurve becomes more viable, and at the very top end of gear, survival and longbow are ideal

[orchid hound]

gotcha. so there's only 1 centaur in the entire level?

[drifting bison]

in all the hell runs ive done ive only ever seen one spawn yeah, I believe there's a limit of a single one at any given time. though where he spawns is completely random between those 3 rooms i mentioned

[paper vessel]

when does this play test end?

[orchid hound]

damn, i must've been unlucky then to encounter him in the room adjacent to my spawn. i appreciate the insight--i'll be doing more runs now.

[drifting bison]

no problem, good luck. for what it's worth ive seen him the most in the square big room with the ore the most out of any of the spawns

[deft shard]

what is projectile reduction

[viscid terrace]

is there a perk beyond level 15?

[plain void]

guys only one person can escape?

[worldly nymph]

Per blue portal yes

[fallen zealot]

did you guys change the hitboxes cause it feelsl ike its harder to side strave mob attacks now

[timber wigeon]

any advantages of dual wielding as a rogue? don't you lose some speed for doing this?

[orchid hound]

oh, i've been meaning to ask this, sorry to be a bother: what would a rogue's approach be against a wraith?

[drifting bison]

circle strafing close enough with a rapier that he doesn't do his lunge or dash attack would probably be the best bet, but unless I'm geared I avoid wraiths personally

[orchid hound]

thanks again. guess rogues just flat out suck against minibosses

[timber wigeon]

bump

[drifting bison]

you do, but if you have a good stat stick it's worth equipping the second weapon despite the speed loss

[graceful hamlet]

how do i create a voice channel

[worldly nymph]

Do the arcane wizard passives count to lightning or just magic missile

[drifting bison]

only magic missile/invis fall under arcane iirc

[worldly nymph]

Figured, kind of a bummer at the moment I suppose, so many passive don't really matter

[placid tangle]

How often do traders change their stock? it doesnt seem to match up with their timer

[drifting bison]

it's nice to get your next missiles off a little quicker but that's about it. @placid tangle i heard 30 minutes from a lot of people

[placid tangle]

Thx! I thought I was going nuts. Waiting for this fucking crystal ball to come back in stock

[modest talon]

anyone know what time the playtest ends on the 23rd?

[spark pasture]

I lost access to my account. I would like to know if there is anyways I could get it back?

[elder pewter]

when is the playtest over?

[orchid hound]

it's in announcements

[whole dune]

After careful consideration I’ve decided that the play test should be extended 20hrs because I misread the time a week ago

[spark pasture]

I think I was banned.

[drifting bison]

if you weren't hacking it was probably your name

[spark pasture]

Whenever I load the game up it says my access to this game has been permenately revoked

[unreal wagon]

What time and day is this playtest ending?

[empty holly]

depends on your region

[unreal wagon]

NA East?

[spark pasture]

anyways i could get it back? I've enjoyed my time playing.

[empty holly]

[spark edge]

just create new account

[drifting bison]

think you can appeal with one of the wardens maybe

[hidden canyon]

is there any way to take the skeleton skin off?

[spark pasture]

how do i do that?

[unreal wagon]

Any word from devs if we get to keep skeleton skins and such that we’ve unlocked this playtest? Itd be a shame to lose all of that effort and get nothing

[timber wigeon]

but what do I gain from dual wielding?

[pliant cloud]

No, we won't keep anything
@timber wigeon Just different style of attack

[worldly nymph]

Good

[drifting bison]

dm probably

[whole dune]

BRB moving to Sydney

[unreal wagon]

Was that put anywhere in dev notes or is that just a guess?

[empty holly]

but eu central has longest time

[pliant cloud]

Probably i saw a note from devs on #📢announcements saying that the shop is just a test, and we won't keep anything, and prices and items inside could change
@vivid drift No, poison is physical thing, not magical, but it's not stacking probably with physical power

[vivid drift]

If you put true magic damage on rouge does it apply the extra damage every time poison blade procs on an enemy? Or is it evenly spread for the duration?

[unreal wagon]

Sweet sweet thank you, ive been asking for the last couple days but was left in the dark (and darker)

[wicked hamlet]

no ones got a kill on the ghost king on the leaderboard, whys that ?

[pliant cloud]

Yesterday i was sitting here and answering to people for about 3h straight, including questions like you, many people asked about that shop 😄

[zenith plaza]

how does the resurrection spell work?? every time i cast it it doesnt work

[unreal wagon]

Yeah i just wanted to know if i should lose any sleep trying to grind out this last 400 adventure points or if i can just call it a day 😂

[fallen totem]

Apparently trying to name my Barbarian "IncoherentYelling" isn't appropriate. The heck?

[pliant cloud]

Naaah, playtests are made just for have fun and help devs fix bugs, and make suggestions about new things on discord of course 😄

[dapper totem]

Imagine this game with proximity chat xD

[whole dune]

Incorrect info removed*

[unreal wagon]

Makes sense for sure, ive heard people say that games like Fortnight did skin unlocks in playtests and people kept them afterwards, just had to make sure this wasnt one of those times.

[verbal girder]

Will there be multiple skin complexions/tones and maybe a few different face types on release?

[pliant cloud]

Sometimes it happens in games, but not here 😉
@verbal girder I think devs will add character creation and customization, but noone knows when

[ripe scroll]

Can you double cast rupture and weakpoint attack?
