q-and-a

[whole cloak]

can anyone tell me where the golden key room is?

[twilit orbit]

Seems like a database problem

[whole cloak]

please and thank you

[polar lance]

so i seen on steam it was free demo? doe that only last a little bit or can i play it for a while like its in alpha?

[muted root]

Am I to assume that cash trading for items wouldn't be allowed? Probably a safe bet I'd assume.

[obsidian yoke]

@stable cosmos ive been crashing since this playtest started aswell

[normal jacinth]

ANYBODY FIGURE OUT THAT WHITE DOT?

[oak knot]

I've only started spam-crashing since this latest Hotfix. Days before? 100% fine. Suddenly I can't even get in a match at all.

[twilit orbit]

all hail the white dot

[lapis rain]

Whats the word on a fix for auto swing, it's game breaking. Tab works 25% of the time.

[normal jacinth]

white dots matter

[twilit orbit]

right clicking fixes auto swing

[prisma oriole]

just had 2 extractions where all of my loot was deleted and it was as if i never went into the raid. One on US East and one on US West

[twilit orbit]

@prisma oriole its happening to everyone rn, character state not saving to the database, you dont get exp either

[prisma oriole]

@twilit orbit thanks for the heads up.

[sand snow]

Did something happen to the server? Day 1 it was perfectly fine but I started having really bad rubber banding/stutters since day 2. Not my internet because I have no issues playing other games and get solid 10-40 ping on east coast servers. It's not just me either, seems like some players are affected while most aren't. 3 of my friends are fine but one other guy also has the same issue.

[muted root]

It's not like everything carries over to the game so, in the end you lose it all anyway

[sand snow]

It's pretty bad to the point where you walk straight and get pushed back several times.

[lunar plank]

does the game run on dx 12? i can see that i can run the default version and the dx 11 version. im not sure what the default is

[normal jacinth]

any devs in the chat?

[twilit orbit]

default is dx12, runs fine. Dx11 is an option for people with dx12 gliches like flashing textures

[muted root]

Rip dx9

[lunar plank]

ty

[normal jacinth]

are you part of iron mace @twilit orbit ?

[karmic nymph]

theres a bug where you dont get to extract with your loot and your char resets to the stuff they had before you went in?

[twilit orbit]

@karmic nymph yes, read my comment above

[karmic nymph]

ugh

[strong terrace]

directx 11 or regular? which should i do

[blazing kettle]

how much Hp does the troll have? Does he have Armor?

[karmic nymph]

found 2 really good barb axes too

[twilit orbit]

regular unless you get dx12 issues, flashing/black textures etc.

[sand snow]

Did you get dc'd before the match began?

[warped solar]

hmmmm im the biggest bird

[normal jacinth]

any addons for this game?

[oak knot]

Game's not even out yet lol. This is just a demo.

[sand grail]

@left onyx are you 450 pounds?

[warped solar]

@left onyx are you overweight

[zinc vine]

anyone confirm if the sharpshooter perk for rangers works with crossbows/longbows only and not survival/recurve?

[plucky wadi]

My friend wasn't getting any experience. We played several rounds and we killed stuff, but he never leveled up

[normal jacinth]

oh my bad

[sand grail]

Did he escape?

[fallen hollow]

it works with longbows not crossbow though

[plucky wadi]

Yeah he escaped at least once. But I was leveling without escaping

[sand grail]

I dunno

[stable cosmos]

Most experience comes from getting killing blows on mobs

[plucky wadi]

Makes sense, I was playing a barbarian and he was a wizard

[cosmic goblet]

I couldn't find the name of the artist in the press kit, on the website, or here in q-and-a, where else could I look?

[plush scroll]

What do you do with large cobalt ore?

[twilit orbit]

make it into bars and trade those for gear

[plush scroll]

What UI do you use to make the bars?

[twilit orbit]

check the vendors, one of them trades ore for bar, others trade bars for gear

[rare heron]

Why does the escape gate not open sometimes in the caves?

[karmic nymph]

no?

[royal wind]

its not guaranteed, i think the circle has something to do with it too

[hidden kraken]

How tough is HR? I've been doing norms but the teams I get are often noob and don't know how to dodge enemy movesets... Ready for better players and loot

But I'm worried that I will be the noob in HR lmao

[solar fossil]

hey what is DX11?

[modest siren]

Not much harder usually. You need to know how to deal with mobs. Be careful, and always think long term. However, i find it to be kinda the same, maybe even kindaa easier to deal with groups, as they tend to rush on solos less

[oak knot]

DX11 is an older version of DirectX. If you're not having graphical issues, don't bother using it.

[orchid sphinx]

If you do fine in b3, highroller should be fine

[solar fossil]

ty

[modest siren]

@hidden kraken as a group, thats true. However if you’re solo, high roller is easier overall than normal b3

[queen dome]

how to dual wield daggers as rogue

[echo quest]

is there a high res image of the mead mug game icon when running D&D and is there a place to find the additional artwork that's been added to the game?

[next dirge]

you need a right and left hand dagger, so you need a rondel dagger + castillion / stiletto dagger

[candid shard]

which stat increase mining speed?

[idle cedar]

Can I spend real money for gold? I need to make this game feel modern

[fierce sage]

Weapons are designated as either two-hand, main-hand, or off-hand. You can't place offhand in the mainhand and mainhand in the offhand.

[sullen oriole]

is wepond damage + better or physical attack power % better

[fleet dune]

if i buy /get an spellbook, I take it to the dungeon and I die, will i have lost the spellbook and be forced to play again with staff? theres no way to keep your weapon choice even after death?

like, theres no starter spellbook just like there is an starter staff?

[fierce sage]

No starter spellbook. Everything you have on you when you die is lost

[mild beacon]

yes there isn't a way to start with a book, just the staff

[fleet dune]

alright, thnx

[lament scarab]

Im new so quick question, how are valuable blue or purple items exchanged for gold and if it's trading how is the worth calculated?

[fierce sage]

You can sell it to merchants for a terrible price, or you can go to the Trade section and sell it to other plays. It's a free open market so it's "worth" is whatever the seller and the buyer agree on

You can see what other people are selling similar items for, and that'll give you a rough idea of how much it's worth.

[lament scarab]

Oh alright thanks

[gray saffron]

can anyone help me figure out why my UI keeps disappearing mid game?

[hard crag]

whats the red side when ur in the clerics spell menu in the lobby

[devout whale]

The spell wheel for the second "spell memory" skill

[cold pine]

In the goblin caves, why is it so hard to find a portal

[burnt badger]

This really isn't a question more than it is a plea: WILL YOU ADD BARD?! IT WILL BE SO FUN

[quasi bronze]

Aren't bards just clerics

[plush scroll]

no

[rocky juniper]

because it's got an upper and lower floor for most areas. you can always fight for the confirmed exit though

[fierce sage]

It's really not, there are usually several. The only show up later on into the map, so idk if you're just searching for them too early.

[latent atlas]

how much an epic felling axe with +2 str +4 physical power and +2 all atr can sell for

please quick ^

[cold pine]

That could be it, sometimes I die and to the circle with no portals anywhere to be found

[soft pewter]

im level 11 and I dont have new abilities do I ever get more or is that not in game yet>

[oak knot]

You can get new passive abilities, but not Active abilities.

[zenith ledge]

is there a way to disable the bear traps players set on the ground?

[soft pewter]

ok well that sucks

[cerulean granite]

how geared would you have to be to take red portal and make it thru

[proud nexus]

are they going to increase discord rooms soon?

[hexed locust]

Noob here. Should I start w castle or goblins?

[sage portal]

is there no self cast for spells

[fleet dune]

dunno if i should ask this but is the Otto dog named after jerma's?

[proud nexus]

yikes

[plush scroll]

you can heal if you shoot the ground you're standing on

[sage portal]

So no then?

[plush scroll]

So yes then, I just explained how to self cast.

[sage portal]

thats not self cast but ok. thanks

[plush scroll]

You're casting a spell on yourself lol, is that not self cast?

[sage portal]

yes self cast is different then target casting

[turbid viper]

it's auto self cast if you don't aim at another player or creature

[thorn pecan]

Are dragon flys supposed to be able to shoot through walls

[plush scroll]

Is there a spot to see your level progress?

[thorn pecan]

Yeah it's in class the yellow line

[burnt lion]

anyone know if you can friend people in this game?

[graceful root]

Whats the command for linking items you're selling in the trade channel? Try doing [ and { open and closed alreadyu

[plush scroll]

How do you GET XP?

[thorn pecan]

Shift click

[plush scroll]

Like is it just escaping or like getting PVP kills and PVE kills

[graceful root]

Thank you ❤️

[thorn pecan]

KIlling things or players and escaping the dungeon, if your refering to adventure ex for the shop escaping and killing stuff is the only way to get that.

[graceful root]

Yeah also XP is not shared by the party, its given to whoever kills the mob/player

[plush scroll]

Interesting, thank you. Is it a 1 kill to 1 XP ratio?

[unborn sigil]

For a lightweight solo qstaff cleric, would it be better to have +2 phys dam, +3 hp, +1 will, and +1 knowledge, or +1 str and +1 to all?

[graceful root]

I am unsure of that

@unborn sigil The first would be better, raw health and will and knowledge are helpful for buffs and debuffs

[sturdy yacht]

whats dx11?

[winter lake]

Does melt stack with ignite?

[unborn sigil]

The second one gives more health, and the same amount of will and knowledge. It just doesn't have the damage increase.

[runic vault]

gyattttt damnnnn and no it isnt its varies per mob

[graceful root]

Oh yeah depends on if thats whatever you're trying to do then, if you're focusing on supp then second is better

[unique crest]

is the chain lightning considered an arcane spell?

[winter lake]

I think all spells are arcane?

[robust garnet]

Is voip broken?Had no problems earlier this day but now no one in my party can hear me

[unique crest]

oh damn thats crazy

[graceful root]

Did it disable itself? It did that to me

[robust garnet]

nope,i even disabled then enabled it couple of times,restarted game and nothing

[graceful root]

Try seeing that the mic you're using is default on Windows? I haven't had that issue yet

[robust garnet]

but thats the thing, i talked to people couple of hours ago,i dont see why it would change now,i will check that tho

[graceful root]

Only speculation, I couldn't tell ya. Random buggy stuff happens with alphas, maybe some others have had the same issue as you

[storm nova]

ignite gives spell damage?

[runic vault]

DoT

[storm nova]

tf is dot

[runic vault]

damage over time

[storm nova]

tyty

[winter lake]

Does melt stack with ignite?

[turbid kayak]

Any consideration to bring back old trade chat rooms and allow us to just filter by class? Makes it quite difficult as a seller to sell multiple things efficiently. The game should encourage quicker transactions between players to get us back into the dungeon

[unique crest]

so all spells on wizards are considered arcane?

[outer jetty]

how do i list my items in trade chat? i tried shift+click but doesnt work

[runic vault]

has to be class specific for example ranger hood = ranger item put ranger item in ranger tradfe

[outer jetty]

i mean how do i automatically list my items without having to type them each individually like everyone else... like you can click somehow and have the item appear in the textbox

[runic vault]

should just be shift left or right click

[outer jetty]

for me shift right puts the item in stash and shift left equips it lol

oh ok i see

[rocky juniper]

what influences the amount you heal with a campfire? or am I just doing something to stop it short

[last raven]

can i farm exp by just killing spiders without destroying the spawner?

[timid rivet]

Quality of the campfire. The ones rangers start with are dark grey--the worst-- and heal relatively little.

[turbid kayak]

shift left click, it says it at the top right of the trade UI incase you forget

you cannot link items in a class chat that the class cant equip, for some reason this applies to necklaces and rings, which must be posted in utility.
the warning message about "not being able to post an item in a specific chat" is posted in the chat log, which immediately gets overrun by traders. not a good place for a user warning imo

[hasty flame]

Anyone knows where are the logs from this game? Still can't start the game since first hotfix they did this playtest and I don't get any errors.

[outer rampart]

Anywhere we can go to support the devs? Is there a Kickstarter or "buy me a coffee " or whatever kind of donation?

[vestal lark]

The game isn't detecting my mic it seems. I turned on voice chat, made it for proximity but nothing comes out in game when I hold my push to talk key. My friends can hear me fine in discord. Does anyone know about this?

[outer rampart]

Try clicking comma (,) it's used to enable and disable voip.

Also, sometimes voip bugs out in the lobby. But works in game

[vestal lark]

I've used the , to turn it on. I've tried talking both in lobby and game

[mossy creek]

How do you get a party vc

[burnt badger]

does anyone else's attacks go right through them when you lag?

[wraith flare]

Having crash issue very often( about 2times in a hour)
Is Anyone else having same issue?

LowLevelFatalError [File:E:\Jenkins\jenkins\jobs\Build-Engine\workspace\Engine\Source\Runtime\D3D12RHI\Private\D3D12Util.cpp] [Line: 859] pResource->Map(Subresource, pReadRange, reinterpret_cast<void**>(&pData)) failed at E:\Jenkins\jenkins\jobs\Build-Engine\workspace\Engine\Source\Runtime\D3D12RHI\Private\D3D12RHIPrivate.h:1387 with error DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED with Reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

[dusty anchor]

I am getting crashes frequently too, but I have not looked at the specific error. Sometimes I click "Send and restart" and it crashes on launch over and over again. I just uninstalled and am reinstalling it on a different drive, since validating 12 times hasn't worked.

[wraith flare]

thx for reply

[empty plinth]

warrior first perk what'd you pick, combo attack?

[warm anvil]

if i have an aditional magical dmg item but im fighter do it counts to the dmg?

[empty plinth]

n/a i believe

[brittle herald]

what's the max roll for each stat on items?

[fleet dune]

whats the green label in the d and d suggestions and why would it be taken away from a suggestion? just asking

[gaunt sparrow]

Anyone know if the devs plan to release map images again, like last test?

[echo quest]

anyone have ruby/cobalt armor yet?

[mortal tide]

Pretty sure Voip is disabled. Haven't heard anyone talk in ages and cannot hear my team either, checked all our settings too.

[ruby badge]

Does anyone know if there's any functionality difference between the DX11 and DX12?

[plush scroll]

What is the guaranteed exit in the goblin caves?

[heady atlas]

Yes

[heady atlas]

I have a couple pieces on my barb

[primal condor]

is it breaking the rules to trade over items over to other characters

[fathom crow]

Its a staircase behind a metal gate that i think opens after 2nd last zone starts closing. Its one use, gets blocked by some rocks after used.

[warm ridge]

What does spell capacity do?

[ruby badge]

Nope. There's literally a trading chat on here, and a trading section in-game.

[sour jacinth]

its limits how many spell points you can have

[rocky cedar]

Whats the hp of the troll boss in the goblin caves?

[sour jacinth]

all spells are tiered and for every tier the points for the spell increases

[sour jacinth]

around 3300-3400 give or take some

[lost zodiac]

do you guys know how to fix "fail to connect to the server"?

[maiden lion]

when does the play test end

[fierce sage]

Google is a wonderful, wonderful tool.

[proud forge]

If I uninstall and reinstall will my inventory/characters be deleted or will they remain?

[zealous lotus]

is the constant rubberbanding getting fixed and is it a just me issue because last playtest was running a lot smoother

[proud forge]

It's not just you i've been lagging all day and I just made it out and my inventory didnt show up, last night everything was fine though

[elder fjord]

For rangers do crossbows count as a "bow-type" weapon?

[fathom crow]

Probably yeah

[proud forge]

I believe now you have to use a button to turn it on (comma is default) then another key to speak

[zenith parrot]

DOES magic damage buffs work on rogues dagger

[jovial gyro]

Question, for 2 handed weapons do they have extra hitting power? I am trying to figure out the weapon damage scaling and my lord am I confused. Im looking at Base gear barb with the 15% phys bonus and am mathcing out a max of 40 dmg on a body shot but deal 44 on hit, headshot I am mathing out 57.75 dmg but hitting for 66.
This test was done with No perks , 30 str and 35 damage axe.

[zenith parrot]

like if i have a dagger that says it deals 5 additional magic damage does that work with the poison dagger ability

[cursive current]

does killing mobs count as exp?

[hardy brook]

yes

[cursive current]

thanks!

[grand herald]

What does the Golden Key do?

[quartz frigate]

What is an ancient scroll used for?

[fathom crow]

Sell to collector

[quartz frigate]

Thanks

[topaz fractal]

How does the armour rating math work? I.e. how much damage does each armour point reduce. Also does armour rating protect against magic damage at all (I know plate has -damage resist)

[dusky mortar]

Is there a guide on how to fix the rubber banding?

[wary valve]

Does additional physical damage stats work on bows

[fathom crow]

AR has no impact on magic damage im pretty sure

[latent scaffold]

having an issue getting the game to play, is this the right channel to ask in?

[ivory topaz]

do we know how long the play test will be up for?

[limber pier]

Till 12th I believe?

[balmy elm]

whats the timer on respawn shines?

[stiff shuttle]

is there items price spreadsheets?

[latent scaffold]

im just trying to get this game to run and theres nowhere to ask anything.

[dapper tulip]

Is there no proper progression implemented yet? No vendor rep or anything like that, just class levels and stacking cash and gear?

[severe nebula]

More details. What isn’t running?

Does it boot and crash? Or just not open at all? Or does it open and it’s just super choppy?

[latent scaffold]

the game wont run. it says i need microsoft visual c++ runtime. i have it, it doesnt make any sense.

[severe nebula]

Have you tried verifying the game files?

[latent scaffold]

i literally just installed it

[severe nebula]

Try verifying the files.

[latent scaffold]

didnt work

[haughty thicket]

Can we get split XP between party members?

[severe nebula]

Sometimes it needs a kick to recognize “third party” files. As well as you may have to update DirectX.

[latent scaffold]

doesnt work

[elder charm]

what's the difference between DX11 and normal launch? is normal launch DX12?

[scenic vault]

hey how cna i fix my mic so i can talk

[severe nebula]

Could try installing Microsoft Visual Studio. Has dependencies too

[scenic vault]

i i have it connected but its not letting me talk

[severe nebula]

DX11 is an older framework of DirectX. Better for older hardware to run on and sometimes increases frames.

[severe nebula]

Open Mic? Or PTT?

[scenic vault]

I HAVE IT as open mic but for some reason when i talk its not wokring

[lucid dust]

How does adding 4 physical power compare to adding 4 weapon damage?

[still stump]

Hi!, Is there a wiki of the game? Or something like that?

[severe nebula]

Check your Windows Control Panel settings

win + r, type “control panel” click sound when it pops up. double check your devices to make sure you have proper input/output

[latent scaffold]

ok well i guess i cant play the game

[severe nebula]

Could try installing this to see if it installs dependencies that will let the game work; https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

[scenic vault]

how cna i check if my mic is connected?

[latent scaffold]

if i cant just download and play a simple demo off of steam im not going to bother.

[severe nebula]

All Microsoft Visual C++ is, is a compiler for C++ which i’m assuming is the language the game is built on. Very few games need it but it’s still helpful to have.

[fringe idol]

DOES ANYONE KNOW!? if the golden key can only be used in high roller?

[severe nebula]

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/fix-sound-or-audio-problems-in-windows-73025246-b61c-40fb-671a-2535c7cd56c8 🙂

[orchid sphinx]

Rogue mains how do you take your fights in PvP (non-solo)?

[latent scaffold]

i have it, the game doesnt see it. just uninstalled it, not going to bother with it. cheers, thanks for trying.

[lucid dust]

How does adding 4 physical power compare to adding 4 weapon damage?

[severe nebula]

Physical Power is most likely directed to Fists AND weapons as to where weapon damage is strictly weapons

[lucid dust]

they both add the same dmg though?

[severe nebula]

Probably just the same thing then. Listed under different names for some reason

[outer jetty]

how do you get more spell memory as a cleric?

i have 12 right now but i kinda want 13 lol

[orchid sphinx]

Gear.

[sage pawn]

By audio isn't working in game even with proximity chat on. Not sure why

[rough trout]

does cleric's sanctuary heal enemy players too?

[meager pewter]

Potions are physical healing, right?

[jovial gyro]

4 weapon damage adds to the base attack power of the weapon, 4 phys power is added to the damage calc afterwards.
IE. 10 damage dagger with 4 weapon damage will deal 14 before phys power is calculated. 10 damage dagger with 4 phys power would deal 10 before calculation.
Say you have 15 str with 10 damage dagger + 4 weapon damage, 14 body damage
Say you have 15 str with that 10 damage dagger with 4 phys power you deal 10.4 body damage

[lucid dust]

why is physical power a A tier stat if it helps so little!?!?

[unborn sigil]

Do Divine Strike and Protection scale or do they give flat bonuses?

[jovial gyro]

it scales exponentially with weapon damage and str, plus they all stack. A player with 30 str (15% phys power) and that same dagger that has 4% will deal 11.9 damage but say that dagger had 20 damage. its now 23.8. 30 dmg, 35.7, 40 dmg, 47.6 and so forth

[meager pewter]

?

[jovial gyro]

After 50 str points though each phys power bonus is equal to 2 str points so it gets that much stronger on a class like a barbarian that has a high starting str

[random vault]

is there a site i can use to have all of the D1 Crypt variations open at the same time?

[jovial gyro]

I think potions are magical healing but are "buffs" so the buff bonus stat increases their duration. I havent been able to properly test it though

[bleak cradle]

in the solo dungeon, there was a gate that opened by a goblin mage, when I went through it, I extracted and it caved in behind me. Does anybody know what triggers the gate opening? It had a blue light to it, like it lead to open sky.

[viral wagon]

does sanctuary heal enemy players?

[meager pewter]

weird, still not sure if I should focus on phys healing items or not

[stone coral]

How does the pickpocket skill work? Do I just walk up behind someone and use the ability? Also what items can I steal? Weapons, accessories or both?

[sage pawn]

It isn't working for me. I can hear others but mine isn't going through

[bleak cradle]

anything that isn't equipped

[random vault]

is there a site i can use to have all of the D1 Crypt variations open at the same time?

[bleak cradle]

and yeah just walk up and use the ability, it'll make an obvious looting animation though

[hard mauve]

Okay so what exactly earns XP? Is it surviving? Getting kills? Kinda wanna know what to prioritize for leveling

[fierce sage]

Basically everything. Escaping, killing players, killing mobs, looting, etc.

[haughty thicket]

but its not split

[abstract solar]

im pretty sure killing players and escaping gives you the most xp

[jovial gyro]

some mobs give more exp then others. I think someoen did the math if you look up the dark n darker wiki

[proud forge]

anyone know if I uninstall will I still have my gear/characters?

[echo quest]

anyone have ruby/cobalt armor yet?

[shrewd quest]

Is there a suggestions section anywhere? I would like to see the addition of a request to join party button, as opposed to exclusively an invite.

[proud forge]

if you scroll down in the discord to feedback there's a suggestions channel

[shrewd quest]

Thank you, sorry I hadn't noticed it before.

[jovial kernel]

What does magic power actually affect?

[cloud kayak]

If the enemy is going to push, go invis and backstab weakest target. let your team know who you are targeting and ask if they want you to target a specific person.

[cursive current]

hello can you kill the cave troll by just standing in the door with bow? or damage is not going to register because ur not in the room?

[earnest inlet]

u cant kill if he is not triggered

[cursive current]

ohh ok ok thanks

[cloud kayak]

Magic power increases magic damage. It affects in your character: Magic Power Bonus, which is what actually increases the damage

[jovial kernel]

So useless for anything except wizard

[cloud kayak]

yes, was it on something not for a wizard? I hate getting bad stats on equipment

[jovial kernel]

Naw. Was just curious. Saw my cleric had ~30-some magical power

Makes your vision tipsy and blurry as can be. With the exception of the bard if ya have the perk active that prevents it

[cloud kayak]

I think the judgement ability might do magic damage? there might be something else too

[orchid sphinx]

Drunken Brawler build, beat em up

[keen sonnet]

what does the troll blood do? just killed him after a few tries and he didn't drop any.

[whole cloak]

is the falchion bugged? feel like sometimes the swings dont do any damage

[silent comet]

Can you trade items between characters on the same account, or should I just sell the unusable whites?

[rancid ferry]

anyone else experiencing frequent crashes in game?

[dawn kettle]

is the 4 bug I just press 4 and it keep getting me wrong item to the next?

[undone trout]

do you get your gold back when you escape a high roller

[dawn kettle]

I dont think soo

[flint brook]

What is the actual health pool on skeletal champions, i literally hit this one for over 1000 damage and hes still alive, why did you even put them in solos.

[prime venture]

it does open a specific secret treasure room

[jovial kernel]

Is there any guide that shows where that room is?

[valid geode]

How do you link items in the trade chat in game lol?

[jovial kernel]

Shift-left click

[raw plaza]

I would like to know that too, wanna try and farm them with a very well built barb, but idk what I need to get for gear/ expect

[grand ore]

Does anyone have a general idea how much hp the lich, troll, and ghost king have?

[prisma sequoia]

Can you hear rogue when they are invisible moving around

[silent comet]

One more try before sleep - can you trade items between characters on the same account, or should I just sell the unusable whites?

[jovial kernel]

No you can't. Gotta trade to a friend, then have that friend trade to your other character. If just white rarity, even some greens and blues.. I'd just sell to other players/merchants

[fair helm]

does creep not work???

anyone know?

k

[remote orbit]

got a question rq anyone know anything else to improve FPS? playtest 3 was working perfect for me but now there is def fps drops, freezes, and stutters

[faint sage]

gamma slider ? plz

[exotic wave]

Alright, I decided to try out Cleric since it seems to slap if you're actually good at the game. Any suggested spell loadouts for solo/trios?

[fathom crow]

Just do bless, divine, lesser, prot, holy light(group)/sanctuary(solo)

[exotic wave]

Thanks, first time doing cleric and I got a 3k on solo, just absolutely insane kit

Can't believe I've never tried it before, the mace is unreal

[fierce sage]

I think Holy Light is arguably better in Solo just for killing skeleton champions quickly

[smoky trail]

very new to this game. Do we get more stronger as we level up our characters? Like more HP and equipment? and stuff? I tend to get one shotted by people

[exotic wave]

You get access to more passive perk slots, but other than that all your power comes from equipment and skill.

[smoky trail]

Would a 3 man group be suggested? Also wasnt this game 4 party at somepoint

[fathom crow]

I mean yeah i guess if you dont need the extra heals. Goblin cave has like no undead tho

[lethal axle]

how does someone join the playtest i cant find the info im kinda tired so may have missed it but figured id ask in here to make sure thanks for any replies in advance ( i also may just be being dumb so sorry for that too lol)

[fierce sage]

Depending on your spawn and final circle, there could be nothing but undead

[exotic wave]

I will say I so far found very few cases where Holy Light was more useful than a bit more healing
(IN SOLO)

[delicate moss]

Why is 'Spoon' an inappropriate name? I know it has multiple definitions, but it's hardly inappropriate to name yourself after a utensil.

[exotic wave]

GREAT I LOVE WHEN YOU TRY TO CAST A SPELL AND YOUR STAFF BOUNCES THATS GREAT THATS AWESOME WHO DESIGNED THIS SHIT

[fierce sage]

That's literally revolutionarily good game design. Game objects interfering with animations

[fathom crow]

Rookie mistake to use a staff instead of book lol

[echo zinc]

my gpu utilization drops to like 20% towards the end of the match and i can't even tell what I'm doing. Every other game works fine on my pc. This game is unplayable

[umbral yarrow]

Is there not a v-sync option or am I just an idiot with a tearing screen?

[desert remnant]

is there a bug current with mic? no matter what, cant seem to get it working

[heavy zealot]

What is difference between physical power and weapon damage

[exotic wave]

I hope this is a joke.

@fathom crow Yeah I was running eco lmao my bad.

[desert remnant]

weapon damage is +on hit. physical power is a stat that increases damage by %

[fierce sage]

No, I'm serious. You think it's better for the game to have no collisions and just let everything phase through everything else? Get good.

[exotic wave]

Just encountered the most annoying player on the planet. Fighter that spammed sprint fully naked kiting you with Crossbow and Spear 💀

[heavy zealot]

so whats better +6 physical power or +5 weapon damage?

[desert remnant]

depends. calculate your weapon damage.

[lone mantle]

Any plans to make a account-wide stash? If i find some good mage gear while playing something else it doesn't incentivize me to play and try some other class i feel.

[heavy zealot]

2 halberds one 51 damage the other 52 the 52 has +5 weapon damage the 51 has +6 physical power

[desert remnant]

phys power is 2% weapon damage a point

[heavy zealot]

Danggg so the green i have is better

[lone mantle]

There's a button to turn voip on and then there's another button to actually talk. Should bind them in the options menu

[hexed aspen]

I still dont get how impact power (barb) interacts with blocking players/skells.
Is the shield just... bouncing back or something?

[desert remnant]

even having it all toggled on, it still doesnt work for me. mic works fine in discord, and testing in windows

even get the mic light lighting up lol

[lone mantle]

Weird, maybe its detecting another mic or something similar which its trying to use but can't? Like a hooked PS4 controller is viewed as an audio device, maybe something along those lines? Might also just be a fault in on the game's side

[desert remnant]

yeah, im thinking its a fault on the game's side. with the ability to test volume, we'd know for sure. i can see it light up, but people say they cant even see my mic enabled

[keen crane]

How do I use potions? When I put it in my hand, right click doesn't drink and when I left click it punches.

[desert remnant]

sounds like a bug. left click to drink

[gusty rover]

they will hear you in game. They cannot hear you in lobby

[fresh tree]

is dx11 an improvement on the default or a downgrade?

[lone mantle]

You should be able to drink it with left-click when you equip it in your hand

[keen crane]

So any fix on the bug?

[desert remnant]

turn it offand then on again

[gusty rover]

Happened to me Yesterday

[keen crane]

Restart my game?

[lone mantle]

Worth a shot

[lone mantle]

No , in most (not all) cases dx12 will give the better performance. If you're having problems yourself its worth a try and see which one gives you better stability

[fresh tree]

ah thanks, i wasn't sure what the default was running. probably should have assumed it was later than dx11 in the year of our lord 2023

[viral mango]

Playtest end date?

[left ice]

the 13th

[silent widget]

Hey guys, applies for apha are still open ? How we can start to Play ?

[limpid hound]

does anyone know if game will run on Intel UHD Graphics 620 /
2048MB ATI Radeon 530 Series?

[alpine ridge]

Yea not going to usually see much of a difference. I swear now says companies be just increasing version numbers on this stuff and not offering backwards compatibility to force buying products..

Trying to make us buy stuff at moores law rates when gains have plateau'd

[lone mantle]

Just go to the Dark and Darker steampage and there should be a button to download the demo. No need to sign up anywhere

[silent widget]

Multi coop demo? Sonds great! Thanks alot

[austere oxide]

does a weapon with +1 additional magical damage make it do more damage?

[lone mantle]

Not by swinging it, it will not add that damage to your swing. It will add it to your spell casts

[glass timber]

anyone know if you can increase burn duration or damage with the Will stat?

[thin edge]

Just me or does the voip not work?

[plush scroll]

il DM you

[alpine ridge]

Are there rings in the game? I think i see ring slots on the ui

[bold crescent]

How do you remove gold from the coin purses

[bold crescent]

yes there are

[lone mantle]

People have reported it to be buggy even when they (re)binded all the right keys for voip and push to talk. Some of my friends cant use it aswell while i have no problems

[alpine ridge]

bottom right main menu has button that pulls up a pdf of bindings for item manipulating

alt drag i think

[viral wagon]

what exactly does physical healing stat on gear mean? casting? self? consumables?

[true burrow]

What attributes do you calculate to find your max hit? For example melee would it be (strength + physical power + weapon damage) = Total hit???

[alpine ridge]

is there a magic healing stat?

[bold crescent]

yep

[true burrow]

physical implies by hand, so consumables, i dont think casting

if it was just healing it would include everything

[cyan remnant]

How do i mine the ores in goblin dungeon

[viral wagon]

i mean there is willpower, but i dont see an actual magic healing stat unless i am misssing it

[rose mirage]

are the maps for this rotation posted on here somewhere?

[cloud kayak]

it means potions and bandages

[lone mantle]

I saw them on reddit

[rose mirage]

ty

[alpine ridge]

campfires?

[viral wagon]

ah ok, so consumables then? you are pretty sure on that?

[boreal meteor]

How the game/devs are going to fight the inflation once the game will be released?
Right now there are full wipes after a week so that's not a problem but with time people playing for several weeks/months might have so much money and good stuff that the average price will go up making it hard to keep up for new players

[true burrow]

bro i literally jus said physical means BY HAND. so YES consumables, magic healing isnt PHYSICAL

[cloud kayak]

yes I forgot campfires too

[cyan remnant]

What are full wipes

[lone mantle]

There will be seasons that last 2-3 months then there will be a reset i believe. That's what ive heard, not 100% sure but it should be something like that

[cloud kayak]

i cant figure it out but maybe you can
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_YNh5ava9fOXLA9kzthtaK7yHTuKSlef/view

[alpine ridge]

Just noticed the caltrops for rogue tonight. Any other classes have new abilities?

[bitter osprey]

I used the search to see if there are any fixes for the VOIP not working but havent found any solutions so im asking here... Anyone know how to fix VOIP?

I have bound everything and made sure everything is turned on

[cloud kayak]

windows default mic is the right mic?

[undone raptor]

what is the best dagger for rogue for dps

[bright jetty]

Can anyone help me with my problem? So I can run the game, it's on the lowest possible video settings and it plays on 60 fps but after a while it'll just start to have frame issues and I have no idea what to do to fix it

[thorny schooner]

Stiletto

[lone mantle]

I think there are some bugs with voip. My buddy also cant use it and ive heard people claim their mic lights up but no sounds come through in the game

[viral wagon]

@cloud kayak oh yo, big ups for the guide link ty

[fathom skiff]

Is there gonna be a price tag on this game once it drops or will it be funded by skins or something along those lines?

[bitter osprey]

does it not work if you have an external mic or something?

[gleaming slate]

just set w/e mic you use as the default

[bitter osprey]

wait are there input mic settings in the game?

[cloud kayak]

not in game, in windows

[cosmic kiln]

Does levelling affect stats?

[clever cape]

what does the spell capacity stat do? The one featured on gear. It doesnt seem to increase actual spell capacity

[bitter osprey]

it affects the spell costs maximum for wizards and cleric @clever cape

[clever cape]

so like 5 spell casts of lesser heal rather than 4 if i have +1 spell capacity

[limpid hound]

no, it means you get additional points in the spell radial selection in the spell section of class

[clever cape]

is it not a 1:1 ratio then? because knowledge increases it, but the actual spell capacity stat on gear (like +2 spell capacity on leggings) doesnt seem to increase it

mustve been bugged cause its working now wtf

[cloud kayak]

i do believe it is bugged to not show in the main menu

[dawn tide]

How does the physical healing stat interact with troll blood, does it add to the total 100 over 100 second healing or does it increase the heal per second?

[mighty comet]

Does anyone know if we got an official end date to the playtest yet? I work two jobs during the week and was hoping its not till like monday when nextfest ends but I havent personally seen anything yet

[tropic harbor]

The 13th of February. That's when it ends I think

[mighty comet]

i knew that was the end of nextfest but has anything been said by the devs about the playtest because last i saw they announced it was starting but the playtest end date would be "...announce(d) the exact ending times for the playtest later."

[tropic harbor]

Hm, maybe

Idk

[final tiger]

according to the discord event its until the 13th.

[cosmic turtle]

Game is asking me if i want DX11 or the other one.. is this new? which one runs the best?

[tropic harbor]

Yes it's new. I don't know which is better, as I have not had the prompt.

[plush scroll]

What do y'all think the best class is? And why is it ranger

[cosmic turtle]

I guess ill launch in 12 i guess that was the only way to run it before

[boreal meteor]

Ranger is not "the best". Look e.g. on rankings for high-rollers. The top is dominated by barbarians and mages

[cosmic turtle]

Barb is the "easiest" and its always viable but Ranger and Wizard are probably the two classes with the highest skill cap (IMO)

[tardy pasture]

yesterday ranger had about 20 kills more than the nr1 cleric

[next tulip]

Hey guys, how does it work the High-roller dungeon? There's no bubble closing?

[lone mantle]

DX12 will mostly run better. If you dont have troubles with the game dont switch, DX11 is an older version

[dawn tide]

How does the physical healing stat interact with troll blood, does it add to the total 100 over 100 second healing or does it increase the heal per second?

[drifting socket]

Im still getting hard crashes from the game since the latest patch release, how should I adress this?

[fathom crow]

Does the lich have any new attacks? (Others than blue/purple circle under you, pink bolt and purple instakill orb)

[grave jungle]

its not possible to rotate items in stash/inventory right?

anyone else being unable to convert silver to gold in treasure merch?

[stable elm]

Can a character be reset to default gear without joining a dungeon a die?

[upbeat moon]

any news on oceanic server having unplayable lag since the last hotfix?

[noble pecan]

Only able to rotate weapon sets, you'll get quick at inventory soon enough.

My silver to gold works fine, what's happening?

[unborn sigil]

Is the elite skeleton skin less visible than the skeleton skin in-game?

[grave jungle]

weapon set? when i try to fill silver for gold coins and finish trade nothing happens. i will try to restart steam

[supple jay]

Do we have a way to check the most and the least class played ?

[cloud hazel]

how does one get out of the goblin cave i cant find any escape portals

[stable elm]

Doubt it helps, have the problem since beginning

[noble pecan]

Get your headphones on, and listen for it directionally.

[unborn sigil]

The trade channels probably give an idea.

[grave jungle]

just tried. Didnt help

[cloud hazel]

so they do exist then thank you

[fathom crow]

Does the lich have any new attacks? (Others than blue/purple circle under you, pink bolt and purple instakill orb)

[noble pecan]

Haha you'll get there. It'll show a notification top right when one appears too.

[supple jay]

anyone can trade the pieces they dont use on those channels thou

[noble pecan]

You'll be swimming in gold soon anyway. Silvers probably not worth your time right now during playtest.

[jaunty prism]

hi, how do i open the gate to go to the secret extract staircase in goblin cave ty

[cloud hazel]

next question anyone wanna help a newbie out and teach me the basics by playing a round?

[fathom crow]

Opens automatically at some point in the match

[jaunty prism]

ok near the end i guess ty

[lone mantle]

It opens with time near the end indeed

[spare carbon]

as someone buying as much cobalt as possible to try and get a full set this wipe, i wish i was still rolling in gold

[south cobalt]

They only spawn at the end, and spawn on different levels which can be frustrating, it just takes a bit of time and patience

[thorny sundial]

What triggers the stairs out of the goblin tunnels?? I can't find the lever

[winter bronze]

which class do you think is best for solo play (goblin tunnels mostly)?

[thorny sundial]

In my time playing fighter tbh

[topaz bane]

when i use my warrior shouts my game freezes so does my buddies, i have 144 fps , good high end pc any idea what cuases it and how to fix it, thank you tag me please.(this wanst issue last play test or ones before that just started happening this one i see people on reddit/yt have similar issues or stream)

[unreal wyvern]

How does strength scale with damage? Is there a chart I can look at?

[dawn tide]

how much hp does the cave troll have

[kindred pike]

what should i do as a new player to level up? i

[lone mantle]

They open after a certain amount of time, near the end

[young beacon]

Can we get less traps in this game?

[solid trail]

Is there a way to break barrels as a rogue? Or can they just not equip anything that can

[humble fog]

How do I choose a microphone for voice chat?

[raven lodge]

@timber mist At what point did anyone test the Wizard and think it so OP???? haha

[honest cargo]

where's a good place to find treasure in the goblin caves? i see people with full inv's in spectator mode but i can never get one

[viral arrow]

rapier breaks smaller barrels, but generally you get free lockpicks to get the big chests, to balance it =p

[thorny sundial]

Thank you

[raven lodge]

It was only good in Team play. If you ain't the Top 1% is wasn't insane.

Nerf Invis, not the entire class

[sleek sequoia]

Hey guys, where can I find a guide that explains to me how I get better gear?
is farming ore and crafting even worth it?

[raven lodge]

Youtube is great for guides for this game.

[sleek sequoia]

Thanks a bunch!

[austere inlet]

coin purse disapear when goes to 0?

[crude lantern]

@supple jay check #development but this is for last playtest

@austere inlet No

@steep igloo 13th Feb

[glass timber]

@meager cairn #📢announcements

[steep igloo]

when is the current end date of playtest

[fleet dune]

is fireball gonna be unviable now? or is does it deal still really good damage? just asking

[glass timber]

depends on your build I say also depends on if the splash damage was a separate damage that still scaled with your stats at the end of the day lightning strike didnt get hit and does the same damage as pre patch fireball

[glossy compass]

How we get more candy? Any specific mobs?

[onyx lily]

Is there actually a landslide exit in goblin caves?

[crude lantern]

@glossy compass Flying Skulls seem to have it more than others, but it's random

@onyx lily Yes there is, it's a staircase icon on the map

[noble perch]

does the cleric "reduce damage from all sources by 3" apply to things like poison ticks?

[glass timber]

yes it has a staircase icon it only lets you leave after a certain timeframe and only 1 person gets to use it

[austere pumice]

where is the golden room? how to get there?

[minor epoch]

highroller in the big colloseum

[timid summit]

where do you use the golden key?

[crude lantern]

@austere pumice it's in the coliseum in high roller, there's a tower, door at the top of the tower

@timid summit you use the golden key for the golden room

[eternal quiver]

What is the difference between Magic Damage /bonus Magical Power /Additional Magical damage?Which should be prioritized?

[true crown]

Are hotfixes planned before the PT or are they decided the day before? So far the hotfixes have been decent btw, not trying to hate

[glass timber]

magic damage is basically 1 point of will and adds 3-1% to your magic power percentage which increases spell damage, im gonna assume additional magic damage is true damage which just adds that number.

[austere pumice]

is the map rng? or highroller always use that map

[glass timber]

high roller map is the same for the most part as the colliseum was a playtest favorite regular dungeon has about 3 variants and floor 3 has 2 variants iirc

[austere pumice]

ty

[eternal quiver]

ty

[rigid wave]

Are you currently undergoing maintenance?

[eternal quiver]

So, is additional magic damage the best way to increase damage?

[sinful falcon]

why cant i play in oceania server atm

[pallid grail]

Does the fireball splash reduction effect skeleton mages?

[limpid lintel]

second this

[sinful falcon]

this happened yesterday aswell

[gray crane]

There is a maintenance check announcement

[tired copper]

can you trade during maintenance this wipe?

[umbral geyser]

Are servers down?

[gray crane]

For a little bit but the trade might go down after a bit

[tired copper]

so people not losing stuff^?

[gray crane]

loot got during match should be still there

[tired copper]

for trading after maintenance starts*

last wipe i heard people were losing stuff but i wasnt as much of a degen last wipe up during mainenance

[gray crane]

People lost stuff obtained during a game after a escape because of weird desynch disconnect during the game but their gear before the match should be there, i had that issue before

[subtle flax]

yo i'm sure this gets asked a lot, but is there a good info resource on blocking anywhere?

[balmy flame]

why is my server region, us east, unavailable?

[frank lotus]

maintenance

[balmy flame]

aw darn I was just gonna try it. where can I see news for when it can be up again?

[thorny sundial]

Why do people want their cosmetics to be wiped?? It literally makes no sense to me like any other game that'd be a no no without at least giving you something it's not gear and shouldn't be seen as such

[topaz bane]

kill creatures/stuff

[quick zealot]

server online?

[fierce mantle]

How do you use the lobby actions like the faceplam? It doesn't seem to work for me

[magic wasp]

anyone have their DaD icon change to a windows world icon?

[glass timber]

@livid summit probs should ask about the bow here that channel is going bananas rn

[frank wagon]

I can't play the game since it says "server region is currently unavaulable" even when I switch region

[quiet kelp]

what does the magical interact do?

[quiet helm]

hot fix, wizard is getting a huge nerf

[gray sinew]

Excuse me, what time will the server be maintained until?

[quiet helm]

should take round a hour n a half

[frank wagon]

aah okay good

[gray sinew]

OK thx bro

[verbal river]

Server on ????

[fair cobalt]

in 50 minutes

[kindred basin]

have they fixed the no loot on exit bug

[odd compass]

hot fix = wizard turned into giga dogsht. good hotfix guys.

atleast cut the meditation cooldown by 20-50%.

[neat bramble]

they usually give themselves 1.5 hours max, but usually the Steam gets an update and game is live 10-20 minutes earlier than that

[dawn tulip]

when will the game be up

[onyx lily]

hour

[neat bramble]

35-45 minutes from now

[dawn tulip]

yee

[ashen shard]

what does launching with dx11 do?

[dreamy crag]

uses dx11

[verbal rune]

how much 1 str gives physical power? like whats better +3 str on gear or +3 phys power?

[ashen shard]

does anyone deal with elastic banding in game with completely fine ping??

[void sail]

yup

[ashen shard]

do you have msi afterburner active on ur pc

[neat bramble]

str also gives health and that's pretty good, and STR increase phys power, so it's the same thing except better

[void sail]

not a computer guy sorry idk what that is lol i just kinda like got the pc a while ago and hop on every now and then

[verbal rune]

but is it confirmed that str gives 1 or more phys power per point?

[neat bramble]

yes

[long trellis]

Is there any chance of droping unique item from troll? Anyone know?

[verbal rune]

okey then, and how about weapon damage, is it more valuable than phys power, on rogue for example?

[wise pine]

im pretty sure its a percentage. a base rouge has a -15%ish to physical damage . at 15 strength its 0%

[verbal rune]

so a raw + additional phys dmg would be more beneficial

[mossy spruce]

Whats the price for 2 purple bucklers with decent buffs? I have no idea at what price i should trade them

[wise pine]

yes i believe

what are the stats on them?

[uneven shale]

Hi, is it possible to play in the current Playtest or have I missed out?

[proud tangle]

anyone knows when dark and darker gonna be as a non-beta game??

[rancid fern]

What are the conditions to get into the “sweat” discord?

[wise pine]

theres an update going on currently

[neat bramble]

yes, it's just maintenance time currently, game back online in 40 minutes at the latest, but will usually patch earlier

[dawn tulip]

@uneven shale do u watch vox machina by chance

[mossy spruce]

+1 Will +1 ALL Attributes +0.9 Item Equip Speed. and the other 1 had magical defence and something else cant remember

[uneven shale]

Okay thank you, how would I go about accessing the game once it comes back online? Is it the demo on Steam that I have to download?

[neat bramble]

according to player's handbook, the biggest benefits are up to 15 Strength, after that it starts increasing 1% per 1 STR

[wise pine]

i thought the devs said late 2023 but i could be wrong

[uneven shale]

No mate I don't, I'm guessing there's someone with a similar name that you've seen or spoken to lol

[neat bramble]

just download the demo, if you do it earlier than 30 minutes from now, then you will also need to wait for the update, you can already launch it, it's just that the matchmaking is down until the patch is released

[rancid fern]

At one point they said Q2, but i think it’ll be closer to Q3 or Q4

[livid summit]

Anywhere I can read up on where to get certain tiers of items?

[rugged pike]

are the servers down rn?

[wise pine]

eh like maybe 100. bucklers arent very good

[mossy spruce]

ok

[neat bramble]

yes, check #📢announcements

[rugged pike]

thanks man, i missed it

[uneven shale]

Brilliant, thanks for the info! 😄

[void sail]

trading is a waste of time imho

[neat bramble]

idk, getting 100-300 gold for an item instead of the 5 from the armourer is pretty good

[livid summit]

I only trade blue and higher, but its totally worth it. Usually net at least 150 per item

[neat bramble]

obviously noone is going to want +% debuff/buff duration and stuff like that, but all attributes, true damage, stuff like that is good and sells fast

[dawn tulip]

how does the trading work

[regal python]

shift + click u item and tell the price and wait someone trade u

[livid summit]

I've sold even some of the garbage rolled blues to people for just the increased armor value I assume. Don't get much for them, but way better than selling to a merchant

[neat bramble]

yeah even getting 50 if you were gonna vendor it anyway

[tribal hawk]

server on?

[wet valve]

BARBAR TOP 1 IN ALL GAME.... Developers: Fix mage.....

[dawn tulip]

will bard have subduction

[grave oxide]

Does the rouges passive ability, poisoned dagger benefit from having stats from gear that give magical power, true magical power and will, since the passiv does magical dmg.

[outer dock]

anybody had a bug where your weapon starts hitting randomly without clicking nothing

[dawn tulip]

will i be able to cast Devilish Charm on goblins

[wise pine]

true magical/physical damage isnt actually that good i thought

[neat bramble]

yes, it does seem to increase it, my poison blade does 10 dmg ticks on full stack, but i feel like it's capped, because i have something like +5 or +6 true magical damage

[old spoke]

happend a few time to me usually if i click it will stop

[outer dock]

I need to press tab to make it stop

[wise pine]

i thought it doesnt add actually damage, its closer to armor pen, from what i heard at least

[modern panther]

Does anyone know if there is any hidden stat boost for equipping double dagges?

[neat bramble]

no, it just makes your movement speed slower

[dawn tulip]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WILL I OR WILL I NOT BE ABLE TO CAST "Devilish Charm" AS BARD!!!!

whats DX11

[burnt badger]

wich is best play normal or with dx11?

[cloud kayak]

for older hardware, increases frames maybe

[grand vigil]

can you pick up thrown throwing axes?

[mossy spruce]

yes

[rancid fern]

dx11 increases performance

[cobalt drum]

I'm testing how magical damage bonus works,
here is the result:

fireball(30 direct hit dmg on paper)
testing with dummy
30% magical damage bonus fireball (default gear 30%)
42 direct hit dmg (suppose to be 39)
35% magical damage bonus fireball (default gear 30% + "mana surge" perk 5%)
44 direct hit dmg (suppose to be 40.5)
40% magical damage bonus fireball (default gear 30% + "mana surge" perk 5% + "Fire Mastery" perk 5%)
46 direct hit dmg(suppose to be 42)

The test result does not add up, Am I doing anything wrong?

[cloud kayak]

Have you read the handbook? I am going to try and figure it out too
https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkAndDarker/comments/ytbjn2/a_players_handbook_to_dark_and_darker/

[cobalt drum]

I do but the damage I tested isn't following the formula in handbook.

[cloud kayak]

you did all 4 calculations for a total amount?

[shut jay]

Does anyone know if the ranger skills for additional headshot damage affects all bows or just longbow?

[upper wolf]

Um what’s the logic behind nerfing wizard lol, is this a joke? What about the barb? Not even a slight tweak? They rolling everyone in HR it’s a joke atm

[cobalt drum]

Let use this as an example

Test result
40% magical damage bonus fireball (default gear 30% + "mana surge" perk 5% + "Fire Mastery" perk 5%)
46 direct hit dmg(suppose to be 42)

The formula
damage total 1A = (30 + 0 + 0) = 30*1.3 = 39
damage total 1B = 39 * 1.1 = 42.9
damage total 1C = 42.9 * 1 = 42.9
damage total 1D = 42.9 - 0% = 42.9
total damage = 42.9 + 0 = 42.9

but the test result is 46, kinda strange

[reef hawk]

How do I sell something? I don't understand how people are being able to post their item in the Trade section so other can read its stats. I am trying to drag the item into the chat box and nothing happens. How do I do that?

[shut jay]

shift click

[terse yarrow]

if i buy the blue torch do i get it on all my chars

[wicked sundial]

Who on the dev team hates wizards?

[cloud kayak]

on DT1A isnt it 30*1.4 becayse you have 40% magic power bonus not 30%?

that would result in 46.2 damage

[cobalt drum]

10% are from the perks tho, according to the formula that belongs to damage total 1B

[wintry dome]

I saw someone with the skeleton skin last night, do skins carry over from the previous test or was he just a gamer?

[cobalt drum]

if shift that 10% from damage total 1B to 1A the result will not be 46

[cloud kayak]

I understand now

[cloud kayak]

Do you not think it is intended that it is applied on both parts of the equation?

[neat bramble]

everything gets wiped, it doesn't take long to get enough points for base skeleton skin
i already have the red one and blue torch and some points left over, but i played & extracted a lot already

[cloud kayak]

it could be an error that it does that, but it also makes the most sense to me

[wintry dome]

Wild, alright thanks.

[paper hatch]

does dual wield work for twohanded weapons?

[cobalt drum]

I agree, maybe that's how the formula works now.

[cloud kayak]

the skills in the example give no bonus to physical or magical power, so maybe thats why it wasnt clear at first

[paper hatch]

the perk for fighter i think

[lyric tundra]

Should I play with direct x on or off?

[restive aspen]

In the goblin cave does the free extract only work if you’re the last one in the cave?

[distant nimbus]

Play with DX11 if you have an older GPU, should improve frames

[lyric tundra]

Thank you

[twilit citrus]

blocking as a barbarian with 2handed axe, how do you do it?

[analog drum]

Does anyone know if the fireball splash damage nerf applies to skeleton mages?

[distant nimbus]

I hope so qwq

[shut jay]

Does anyone know if the ranger skills for additional headshot damage affects all bows or just longbow?

[paper hatch]

are two handed weapons considered dual wielding?

[placid bluff]

no, the perk preview is 2 dagger 💀

[paper hatch]

yikes

[tidal venture]

Yo guys, why i can't kill boss in goblin caves? i use 100 arrow and he still stay alive 😄

[mint robin]

he has health regen do damage faster. but also he has a lot of health.

[dense belfry]

anyone else getting performance issues in certain rooms? specifically in the normal dungeon map? For some reason it runs just fine on the goblin caves, but my FPS tanks in certain rooms in the normal map even tho my GPU or CPU aren't even getting to 40% usage

[tidal venture]

So propably i never kill him 😄

[placid bluff]

secret tech, use skele champ to kill the troll 😮

[neon geode]

the game began to crash with the error UE5 - Dungeon Crawler Crash. Has anyone encountered such a problem?

[lyric tundra]

The game keeps freezing

[wet wharf]

i just discovered the game on socialmedia.. how can I get into the game? On Steam is only a Wishlist

[lyric tundra]

Get the demk

[jagged ice]

its a demo on the steam page

[dense belfry]

there's a button to download the Demo on their Steam page

[wet wharf]

Oh, ok. ty 😅👌

[lyric tundra]

Why does the game keep crashing?

It was okay to play on the last patch

[tribal hawk]

how can i get unique item?

[boreal ore]

is the default dark and darker launch option Directx12?

[crude lantern]

@boreal ore D3D12

[boreal ore]

danke

[jagged ice]

do your stats increase as you lvl up

[warm ridge]

DOES MAGIC DAMAGE INCREASE CLERIC HEALS?

[grim relic]

Any plans for guilds in the future?

[solid trail]

In the goblin dungeon there's a staircase that leads up, is that an extra escape?

[crude lantern]

@warm ridge no

@jagged ice no

@grim relic not confirmed

@solid trail that is an extra escape, for 1 person only. Once the gate is open, run in, rocks will crumble, you will extract

[solid trail]

When does the goblin staircase escape activate, is that the LAST one?

[warm ridge]

ty

[mint robin]

no, it’s like halfway through or something.

[solid trail]

Okay, cuz I've seen "1 escape portal appeared" on the last circle, and no portal ever appears

[mint robin]

its on a different floor. goblin caves has a lot of verticality

[runic chasm]

when do weapons and armor attributes actually have an effect

if i have a weapon on slot 2 do i go slower and gain its attributes or i need to be using it?

[mint robin]

using it

[runic chasm]

and what about 2 one hand weapons at the same time?

[mint robin]

both

[runic chasm]

okey ty

[exotic wave]

How much should I sell a green +3 all stat Bardiche?

[solid trail]

does "Additional Magical Damage" affect the Rogue's poison, which is listed as Magical Damage?

[burnt badger]

How to recharge magic spell for the cleric?

[solid trail]

@burnt badger use a campfire

[burnt badger]

Okay thanks!

[solid trail]

The better the campfire, the more spells come back

[grand kiln]

• Fixed an issue where one of the Cave Troll's attack patterns was not working properly. Which hit is this ?

[solid trail]

Is there any way to see in the tavern menu how much damage and abilities your weapons add in the "Details" menu? Your character doesn't technically equip them, so their ability to affect your stats is never shown.

[grand kiln]

is it the crouchable one ?

hope someone answers

[cloud kayak]

find out for yourself and let us know

[grand kiln]

im not on rn thats why im asking

[burnt badger]

Why am I staying level 1 when my companion is already lvl 3?

[burnt badger]

do more

[crude lantern]

@solid trail Yes it does. Poison is magical. Bleed is physical.

[dense vigil]

How do I dodge troll now?

[burnt badger]

Your not extracting enough

[whole basalt]

How often do merchants restock?

[burnt badger]

How do I extract?

[burnt badger]

Blue portals pop up across map randomly open and escape

[zealous trout]

can we jump on barrels or not devs??? pls just pick one im sick of getting cucked by goblins

[hushed thorn]

bro I played high roller and I crashed 2 times in the same game, ALL the other games didn't crash, this is fking bs

[solid trail]

@crude lantern do you know if +5 magical damage means the poison from your blade goes from "4 magical damage over 5 seconds stacking up to 5 times" to 9 magical damage over 5 seconds stacking up to 5 times (45 damage total, boosted from 20), or does each tick of damage become +5, meaning you get 5 ticks of 6 damage, for 30 damage stacking up to 150 damage.... okay, probably not that way...

[crude lantern]

@solid trail all the finer details are not known to us, unless we actually do some testing. You can check your damage numbers on the dummies in the basement of the inn. Do some comparisons and see what happens

[solid trail]

I cant get to those dummies fast enough XD but I'll try

[burnt badger]

okay thanks

[latent atlas]

can someone that understands in trade values and attributes dm me?

[twilit coyote]

So, I just started playing last night and I'm not sure if this goes here or in #game-discussion, but I got a couple questions:

1. Is the closing ring really that necessary? There's already a timer until the floor collapses and I feel like there could be better ways to encourage PvP.
2. Must the AI be so tanky? It feels like a waste of time because by the time you're done the ring is closing and you have no time to loot, which kinda defeats the E part of PvPvE.

[solid trail]

#2 is that your weapon is weak. You can honestly like... 2-3 shot most enemies with a green weapon, 1-2 shot with a blue or purple. While using abilities

[twilit coyote]

Well, it would be nice if I could find better weapons faster, but I've had some pretty crap luck with cleric, I guess. I get the game is supposed to be hard, but I feel like the weakness of the weapons is just there for the sake of it, like an artificial difficulty.

[latent atlas]

how much epic rapier with +2 add damage +0.5% move speed + 2.5% magical interaction damage

[hardy brook]

the circle closing also makes finding exits more likely. If the portals spawned all over the whole map it'd be veeeery easy to not find one as the timer got lower, unless they dramatically increased how many portals there were which would discourage PvP even more

[zealous trout]

when should you ever take a staff over a crystal ball or spellbook?

do staves buff magic damage the higher the quality or are they just better for bonking

[hollow beacon]

Keep at it, and you'll get better/faster. I thought the same when I started on Monday, like it was crazy how hard the AI was. But I just kept dying, and learning from mistakes.
Now I'm level 20 and have a nice stash full of gear and gold. Feeling pretty capable. Just takes time to figure it out, but once you get the hang of a class.

It's not supposed to be an easy game.

[deft wedge]

if someone is wearing head armor but no body armor should i hit head or body

[whole star]

guys I have question mine menu is overlapping

seems like mine monitor maybe or resolution isnt supported idk

[jagged ice]

is there a way to open, the map bigger

[hardy brook]

no but there's maps on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/gallery/10v58ec

[twilit coyote]

Still feel like there's a better way to do that, too. They already show you the circle of where the next closing is going to be, why not show where the portals are after the timer hits a certain point? Not a long amount of time, but maybe when it gets down to the wire. Either way, it just feels like bad/lazy design to me.

[frail goblet]

how to take gold out of coin pouch?

[hardy brook]

alt drag I believe, whatever hotkey it says at the top is to divide items

[twilit coyote]

I know it's not supposed to be easy, but it does feel a tad ridiculous at times. Not saying to make the game baby, but some of the choices seem... Not great.

[frail goblet]

thanks dad

[compact glacier]

How are you supposed to dodge the troll scream attack now?

[hardy brook]

You're entitled to that opinion for sure, but I'd argue that just popping extracts on the map is just as lazy game design. The circle is also a balance factor, having a big open map means people can just ride the outskirts and extract, if they hear people they can just crouch in a dark corner and wait for them to pass

[hollow beacon]

Maybe I'm just a masochist haha. Most of my time has been on rogue, which is by far the worst class for dealing with PvE stuff.... And I've been loving every second of the challenge haha

[blissful anvil]

i left dungeon with huge invent and it reset to back before - is there a way to retrieve or avoid in future?

[whole star]

@crude lantern You seem to know something about game so I want to ask mine menu is really badly overlapping as in stash I cant seem half mine invetory its covered by it any fix ?

[mossy vine]

What? Rogue is pretty decent with pve

[twilit coyote]

Showing the extract might not be the answer, but I feel like the ring is not the answer. Portals could always be somewhat central and not spread out, I don't know what the answer is, but I don't think it's the ring. Other games of this type haven't needed a ring, so I feel like they could come up with something other than the ring that would feel better. But, that's my opinion and I feel like I might be the only one, so I won't argue it further, haha.

[vestal basalt]

Why are Wizards being constantly nerfed? Now Im sitting on the ground instead of playing even more....

[twilit coyote]

Haha, you might be on to something there. I personally feel like it's a bit ridiculous, but to each their own.

[cloud kayak]

wrong

[vestal basalt]

Oh look a rogue that can 1shot a highroller naked 🙂

[cloud kayak]

correct

[cloud kayak]

sucks that happened, devs say to restart steam I think in #known-bugs

[humble fog]

How do I choose a microphone for voice chat?

[whole star]

Guys somebody please help it seems game doesnt support mine resolution and menu is overlapping and stash too :{

[grand kiln]

cool now u cant crouch the cave troll

so fighter is the move ig

[distant nimbus]

What resolution are you playing at? As from my experience 1920x1080 works fine

[near heart]

any point to above 15 or same as last playtest?

[whole star]

well 1280x1024

[valid snow]

I can't figure out the angle, it gets me every time 🤯

[autumn cobalt]

How can I put off golds in pocket?

[grand kiln]

if he's charging block to the left very simple. @autumn cobalt yes hold alt then drag

[sharp gust]

Anyone what happened to the cleric leaderboards? Looks like everyone's stats under top 10 got reset.

[autumn cobalt]

oh thx

[valid snow]

Tried 90° and 45° but still getting 1-hit

I'll just keep at it

[austere burrow]

Are they planning for this game to be free to play upon release or paid?

[grand kiln]

u need a lil bit of distance

[fading dome]

Do people teaming in goblin caves ever get punished ?

[dim galleon]

is there an official page where I can see all attributes?

[jolly dock]

I escaped from the second floor of the forgotten cavern and it did not give me my loot or experience. Anyone else have this issue? Are devs working to resolve? It’s preventing me from playing the game again tbh lol

[waxen tundra]

is this a bug that can't right click a player who become same party?

[west sluice]

how come i get slowed to 50% movement speed when i get hit by an arrow from a ranger? it doesnt always happen either. very frustrating mechanic

[fading dome]

Yeah its a bug, it doesnt always happen but it is infurating

[jolly dock]

I had god tier barb and wizard loot, all gone 😂 I logged off right after I was so mad.

[nova bridge]

does anyone know when this beta for dark and darker will end?

[fading dome]

I feel you, lost purple plate leggings and like 100 to 120 gold of loot

[hearty crest]

Is +x Physical Damage the same as +x Weapon Damage?

[ruby scaffold]

I’m sorta new (I played the test the last time it was up before) and I wanted to know what was the best class for newer/less experienced players?

[solar fjord]

How do i take out my gold out the purse?

[near heart]

fighter so you can try out weapons and see what you like

[fading dome]

Fighters is the most "polyvalent" for new players, and allow you to both melee and range. He also has heal included in his kit, which is more forgiving for new players. You could also try cleric as they posses great amount of healing

[grim furnace]

Alt and drop it in another case

[jagged ice]

what the actual hell am i doing wrong

im in the zone waiting for blue portals and nothing is happening, its really starting to turn me away from the game

can anyone help me

[royal wind]

uhhhhhh what the fuck did they do to the troll move set lmao? how are you supposed to fight it now?

[cinder current]

how to report teamkillers?

[opaque zodiac]

Karma button in table menu

[spice heron]

It depends, and it also... depends! Don't answer if you don't have an answer 🤓

[safe dagger]

in a fight 1vs 6 you never have enough spells to fight escape and now its even harder as a solo wizard

[lost gull]

How is the username I use for 90% of my accounts considered inappropriate? I mean it's just "AndyKills457", I could understand if this was a kids' game but...

[safe dagger]

then do something that i can get more spells on a spell or smething else

[dull folio]

why does fps drop significantly (drops from 100 to 20-40) the closer you get to the middle of the map?

[graceful coyote]

I recall there being a neat qol feature in Escape from Tarkov that allowed you to put ONE piece of gear into a box to always save it even on death. Is that a possibility for DnD or does that give too much advantage?

[safe dagger]

let look how crap the wizard now is

[fair zealot]

Fighter still got 2 shot by wizard tho. Especially chain lightning

[crude lantern]

@graceful coyote that's a secure container. It's not confirmed to come, but could be, who knows

[safe dagger]

yeah but you need to doge and i need to hit for that dmg less fireball spread dmg is stupid too

[graceful coyote]

Would be a nice addition I think.

[safe dagger]

i play just solo and wehn i fight vs 2 team i dont have the spells or the armor and normal weapon dmg to have any chance to win that fight

and often its still coming more and more player

[grand kiln]

If you are ranger and want the new dodge method for troll dm me

[kindred sleet]

Are you actually complaining about you not being able to obliterate TWO teams as a solo wizard?

[fair zealot]

Now I kinda get why it's nerf lol. No wonder why I saw wizard 5 fire balls chase at me

[brazen quest]

why nerf the wiz even more this change feels too strong

[twilit kernel]

does the skull door appear in the normal dungeon or highroller only?

[pastel gulch]

+1 True magical dmg vs +2% magic pen, which is better?

[brazen quest]

true magic

[grand kiln]

true magic and true phys are the best stats in the whole game, not counting All atr ofc

[south rampart]

when is release?

[warped agate]

do you guys also experience rubberbands way too often?

[south rampart]

i actually identify as rubberband so yeah.. experience it alot..

[lilac gale]

Is there any site or anything better to trade ? it became impossible even seeing things

[wintry dome]

Is there a bug or mechanic that prevents you from cheesing mobs when they get stuck? For example I shot the Armored Skeleton with a 40dmg longbow in the face 24 times and he didnt die.

[vivid kettle]

Can you cast Holy Light on yourself?

[lilac gale]

the heal ? yes

[violet maple]

does anyone know the diff between starting game with and without dx11?

[jade tinsel]

if they just added DX11 support, what is the Native API the game is using?

[echo galleon]

Anyone had problems with constantly freezing, with or without dx11

My game freezes about 5-8mins in, every time whether im in a game, or stash

[small star]

Is there a way to tell when the darkness is about to move or is it at certain set intervals?

[dense sluice]

is there a bug with the end game in d and d? I see the white circle, but there is no portal.

[scenic vault]

yo is anyojne in the usa with a mic down to play?

?? anyone down?

[slate vortex]

guys i just started the game i buy staff but when i die i lost them what should i do which gameplay path should i choose can yo uguys help me a bit about it

[scenic vault]

u wanna play bro?

[dense sluice]

You lose everything you choose in your loadout, when and only if you die. You need to extract them by going through a blue portal

[scenic vault]

u down to play

[dense sluice]

not rly sry, i play solo

[narrow garnet]

when will be next alpha test?

[warped rune]

Will we player keep our levels and stuff from now (Demo) until the full release?

[tulip topaz]

so i know that only one person can exfil from the blue things but can only one person go through the red door?

[bold crescent]

Is it normal that u can't put grey campfires in ur stash?

[south rampart]

@scenic vault nah bro ill chill ty for offer tho

[burnt badger]

can you identify stuff from the goblin merchant before buying?

[crude lantern]

@bold crescent Stuff that is part of the default loadout (a browner gray) cannot be put into stash

@burnt badger No, it's a gamble basically, like in diablo 2

[solid trail]

Yes but red doors appear in clusters of 3

[dense sluice]

What does "pick pocket" perk do on a rogue? I dont understand the concept.

[low token]

what is the best way to monetarily support this game and team? Is there anyway to pre-order the game now?

[tulip topaz]

do blue doors go in clusters on harder floors?

[solid trail]

You can walk up to a player and hit F and you take a belt item like a potion I believe

[dense sluice]

That seems so bad xD

[humble fog]

How do I choose a microphone for voice chat?

[upper dawn]

quick question, how exactly do i price an item? i've got a spear i want to sell but im unsure about how much i should ask for

[solid trail]

Only the high roller dungeon has 3 man escape portals

[safe cradle]

look at what other spears are selling for

[main sky]

How does +1 all attributes work? I don't see the stats go up in the stash when I equip +1 items

[safe cradle]

adds +1 to every attribute

[main sky]

What defines attributes? I thought attributes was stats such as will, knowledge, agility etc.

[subtle anvil]

can some1 give me a map with all altars of sacrifice??

[solid trail]

As a cleric, can you block all npc enemy attacks if you're good at it?

[rocky juniper]

Not some boss attacks, but all the normal ones yes.
Actually, also be careful trying to block arrows npc arrows seem to go past my shield a lot

[burnt badger]

This time they will keep your level and stats?

[crude lantern]

@burnt badger No, it will all wipe

[sullen oriole]

When does demo end

[slate mesa]

theres is some way to see the diference on each attack of weapons?

[sweet rock]

whats the difference in +physical healing and magical healing

[warm beacon]

is there a way to check which mic the game is picking up? my mic doesn't seem to work in game and i fear it's picking up the wrong device

[sullen oriole]

When you attack There’s a line indication that’s the direction of attack or swing only way is to test it

[crude lantern]

@sullen oriole 13th Feb (unless extended)

@slate mesa what differences?

@sweet rock Physical = Bandages, Potions, Campfires. Magical = Cleric Spells, Maybe fighter self heal, could also be Ranger self heal but not sure

[sullen oriole]

What’s better physical dmg percent or weapons damage

Let’s say your using barb physical damage +5% or weapon damage +10

[dense dome]

How to ping item in the trade chat?

[cinder current]

.

[glossy dust]

guys, does anyone know the math behind the stats weapon damage vs physical damage vs physical power? which one of these would net me a higher increase in damage output?

[abstract bone]

do the character races save over the playtests? like if i buy the skeleton thing

[late fern]

Do the bosses do magic damage? Does magic dmg reduction work on them?

[modern hinge]

Anyone else getting a matchmaking loop? Like no matter how many times I still get the match is still in progress message

[wet wharf]

is there any serious balance for mages/rouges on the solo adventure?

[restive rivet]

does rogue poison count towards kill exp? I feel like my rogue is leveling way slower than any of my other classes

[terse yarrow]

How do i make items into smaller piles

[glad wedge]

Anyone know why sometimes casts don’t go off? Like I’ll just bang the staff off the wall or something when I’m trying to self cast a lesser heal of buff

[restive rivet]

yes, try using a book instead of a staff, if you hit the wall when casting, your spell fizzles out

[shy rivet]

I'd say the book is pretty much essential when playing cleric, staff casting time is so slow

[glad wedge]

Ok so don’t be close to walls with the staff

Yeah well sometimes you’re in starter gear 😂

[shy rivet]

haha yeah I know the struggle, now I've got like 7 decent books in my stash so I'm kinda spoiled, sometimes you can buy one from the alchemist though

[warm knot]

how long is playtest going?

[zenith valley]

who do you sell armour too? the armourer isnt taking it

[fathom crow]

Players

[plucky yoke]

If it’s cloth or leather armor, you need the tailor or leatherworker I think.

[zenith valley]

its a steel helmet :c

[shy rivet]

you can sell a lot of stuff to the weaponsmith, weapons and armor

[zenith valley]

okei ill try that

[willow fog]

is anyone else having an issue when not being able to connect to the game just stuck in the launch screen

[clever glacier]

Are devs aware of the performance issues ?

[fading dome]

They are, they have done some minor fixes this update

[clever glacier]

"- Improved minor performance issues."
still some big issues though :(

[solid trail]

Is the rogue able to kill the skelly knight? I cant harm it without getting in range of his triple combo

[royal sable]

I would run from him, not worth the time and energy

[solid trail]

Has anyone tried caltrops on rogue? They any good?

[pearl ember]

does anyone else have the problem that the game crash in this playtest?

[turbid rapids]

I found a +magic damage dagger does that give me magic damage on hit or boost my poison damage?

[tidal venture]

What i can do with rubysilver ore?

[icy plover]

Can you all please turn down the pve damage for brand new players. Played an hour couldn’t get anything done. Game is decent but this mechicanic is garbage

[modern chasm]

if you have a weapon on slot 2 and you have slot 1 equipped do you get other slot stats?

[karmic nymph]

Only while equipped directly in your hands

[karmic nymph]

• magic dmg only works on things that already do magic damage, it's basically weapon damage for spells

[turbid rapids]

So it does nothing on a dagger? It won't boost poison?

[karmic nymph]

I hate to be the guy who says git gud, but honestly, it's supposed to be hard. Just need to learn the game one step at a time like everyone else did, I died 20+ times in a row my first test

[terse yarrow]

What is the maximum number of portals on the goblin cave map?

[karmic nymph]

Not unless the poison says magic damage, which I don't think it does. @terse yarrow I believe 3

[terse yarrow]

@karmic nymph i already counted 4 and i think 5 i am just not sure

[turbid rapids]

The rogue poison passive does say magic damage

[karmic nymph]

I've only ever seen.3 in the feed, maybe I am just missing them tho

[terse yarrow]

weird

[polar nimbus]

I've seen talk of a Bard being added and one of the art pieces seem to has a monk in it. Are there plans to add others by chance?

[tight mason]

Best classes for interaction speed? Does resourcefulness stat on gear actually increase this speed or is it bugged?

[karmic nymph]

I believe bard, monk, and druid are confirmed eventually

[warm beacon]

is there a way to check which mic the game is picking up? my mic doesn't seem to work in game and i fear it's picking up the wrong device

[tight mason]

Craft ingots and armor (check merchant tabs) or sell to others in trade tab

[karmic nymph]

Rogue, highest base agility I believe, which is what effects interaction speed. @turbid rapids if it says magic then it will boost it, just like if you had a magic sword which does magic damage it would also be boosted by +1 magic dmg

[modest fox]

my voip hasn't worked since day 1 i keep messing with the settings but nothing is working. i can hear people but my push to talk doesn't work. anyone else have this problem or have found a solution?

[true python]

Entered into a game and it's just hung on the tip screen nothing has happened in minutes. Is loading just extremely slow for games now?

EDIT: Nevermind it seems it crashed for me, crashpad handler is running... 😦

[icy plover]

Can tell this game is gonna go nowhere. After month will be dead game for sure

[covert ore]

[problem] GPU goes crazy on menus.
I have problem with gpu fans on my 3070 in menus - they go crazy speed there - it looks like frame limiter is not working on menus - reminds me situation with burning cards on New World - all the time i need set up cap frames on 60 on menus - then in game i can uncap again and all works fine - problem is only at all menus - any ideas how fix this?

[true python]

They said that about tarkov 3 years ago sir. Have a fun day 🙂

[karmic nymph]

Except that has not been the case at all, these tests have been packed. The souls games are not dead even though they are 'hard'

[polar nimbus]

One thing to note is that the current dungeon is hard. The castle enters you in to the second level, of which your shitty gear is going to push you to the limit. The goblin cave is brand new so can't comment on the viciousness there beyond Europeans loving suffering

[icy plover]

Can tell y’all are big time fanboys and can’t take critism for shit.

[karmic nymph]

??? I'm being nice about it, literally learn the game

[polar nimbus]

When the game is released I imagine it will give you the option to start on the first floor of the castle, which should be easier.

[glacial cloud]

@icy plover I fully admit to being a fanboy. This game is exactly what I have wanted.

Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's not exactly what many of us want

[icy plover]

How tf are you gonna “learn the game” when there’s no tutorial nothing to help a new player.

[polar nimbus]

There is a small guide given, but one thing to suggest is to have a tutorial area for the players. That being said, that isnt the purpose of this round of testing though.

[karmic nymph]

Bro it's a playtest/demo. Watch a YouTube video or something

[placid bluff]

How can i link my items in the trade channel in game?

Give him the lion king game lmao

[polar nimbus]

Thank you

[polar nimbus]

Never got past the young simba jumping level where it plays just cant wait to be king. My poor adhd ass couldnt handle it

[steep bridge]

Hey everyone my buddy and I have run high roller twice and have gotten insta killed both times when we had just finished killing a few mobs. It looked like red lightning coming thru a wall. Is this a hacker or some new mechanic I'm unaware of? Thanks

[karmic nymph]

Lmao it's literally torture

[modest breach]

How silently can I sneak as a roque? When would an enemy hear me?

[glacial cloud]

You wanted help? You could call the Nintendo power hotline for $1 a minute and have somebody shit talk you for being bad

[round blade]

bind walk to a side thumb button on ur mouse

[modest breach]

Uhh ok, that doesn't answer my question though

[karmic nymph]

Anybody who is listening acutely will still hear you even with the perk sadly.

If you wear no shoes you are a lot more quiet though

[modest breach]

Oh, alright. Thanks

[coarse bronze]

Anyone know troll hp

[crude lantern]

@real ledge about tree fiddy

[quick pelican]

Hi guys, everytime i run the game and click okay it says failed to connect, quit the game. can someone help pls

[dire pagoda]

How does the ranger equip the spear? In game it says that only the fighter can use it

[still sleet]

Within the first 5 hours of Me EVER playing this game I was able to escape through 3 portals. Ur doing something wrong or this game isn’t for u

[molten verge]

How long do the play tests last for?

[deep cargo]

Theres a perk

[exotic wave]

How viable is maul/quarterstaff Cleric? I imagine qstaff is pretty good if you double buff it

[exotic wave]

One of your passives gives you spear proficiency

[abstract bone]

do the item shop skins save over?

[snow haven]

What is the normal headshot damage multiplier?

[mortal wren]

can you make "69" not register as inappropriate in the name? It's not family-unfriendly by itself, a kid who doesn't know won't get affected

[late fern]

Do the bosses do magic damage? Does magic reduction work against them?

[jaunty elk]

Can i get an answer about The full Moveset of Cave Troll? Or how the Devs intend the Fight to go? just really would like insight on the Hotfix #3 because it's seeming like the fight has become much more akin to Coin flips. Really hard to see what move the Troll is doing, let alone when he strings 3-4 hit combos into a Sweep back to back, resulting in little room for error.

Or maybe a Boss Thread to Talk about the Bosses/ TheoryCrarft Strategies? or also to Group/Recruit for Boss runs.

[marsh jungle]

Maul hits hard but has a side swing, so it can be tough in close quarts, quartstaff has a nice bonk, both so well with a cleric buffs build or a brewmaster build

[small maple]

Does anyone have tips for a cleric vs rogue, if the rogue got the jump onyou?

[jaunty elk]

Clerics have bind, best bet is to use that

[small maple]

ty ty

[jaunty elk]

they outrun you, so always Sheathe weapons, Best advice would be to Not get caught by them. Make sure to check your surroundings, and if you doubt an area just wait

they can't be invis forever.

[plucky relic]

me bringing my 3 invis pots every raid 😈

[jaunty elk]

still isnt forever mate, you cant drink one and stay invis. you come out for a second

[sage rose]

the 3 attack you can predict easy. its the low swing from the medium swing thats impossible to know

[plucky relic]

well I'm pretty much invisible in the darkness anyways so you don't even need to be invisible as a rogue just turn off torches

[jaunty elk]

yeah thats what torches are for Trooves, you just throw a torch if the hallway is dark, don't be reckless as a cleric if you're scared of rogues running you down

[echo wadi]

is mining better in high roller (give more ore, faster, more spawns?) or is it the same as normals?

[jaunty elk]

and you're right Sensei, but the Lack of reaction time window for the sweep is the issue, the 3-4 hit keeps the Orc relatively on your ass, so when he sweeps you have no room to move or Dodge, so its just down to a coin flip, you jump or crouch and pray. the Animation for the Low/High sweep are not Concrete enough, and they do not stay consistent.

[graceful coyote]

Is anyone else getting absurd rubber banding issues in-game?

[vast zealot]

does the armor from legg armor only apply to your leggs or you whole body ?

[high shore]

Hello guys

[graceful coyote]

I imagine it's because of optimization in which case that's fine. Just wondering if anyone else is suffering from it or if it's on my end.

[high shore]

Which bonus give me more available spells like lesser heal on cleric

[jaunty elk]

i've seen 2 animations for The high sweep, and one of them is significantly longer, and easier to see and tell what he's doing, and the Low seems to be consistent, but the difference between Low and high is absurdly hard to detect when you're focusing on 100 other things during the fight depending on the Class/Scenario you find yourself in

[somber canyon]

how do you drop the starter gear once i find replacements?

[plucky relic]

sell them for 0 gold to merchants

[tawny tusk]

Does anyone know why some names on the high roller board are red or blue?

[tardy veldt]

how does exp work? do you get some for every monster kill and player kill or for time survived in the dungeon or what?

[frosty matrix]

HOW DO YOU DO the cave troll because after change YOU cant DO IT. someone teach me!!!

[jaunty elk]

that's what i'm asking

[austere thistle]

was just in highroller and had a ranger abuse the disconnect invulnerability... i was so confused why he wasnt dying after 4 hits and his partner comes and kills me lol

[supple grove]

Does Barbarian "Carnage" trait work in PvE? Or is it PvP only?

[burnt coral]

its stuck match making like 10 min

[plucky relic]

try switching servers

[jaunty elk]

welp guess i'll just wait to see if anyone figures something out about the troll, No more Dark and darker grind for me.

[tame bison]

how come today i cant play a match at all ? start match load into prelobby than once match starts loading this game locks my computor frozen and i gotta sign out and back in and still wont load

yesterday played fine now i cant load into the match just freezes up the whole pc when trying to load into the actually match cant open discord nothing once it freezes at loading screen

[pure gust]

Does anybody know where the golden key room is?

[tame bison]

only two games my whole life has been able to lock my pc up when it freezes and thats tarkov and this . we expect that shit from bsg cause they bums but here cmon man

[burnt badger]

what is the reason matchmaking takes a tat longer than last playtest?

[pearl flax]

my guess: barring back-end inefficiency (code-related issues), the addition of the goblin map has increased the total number of queues from 2 to 4 (previously just 2 queues, one for castle and one for high-roller castle)

[lusty cloud]

still possible to solo cave troll as melee? getting hit by things i wasn't before with his attacks

[karmic nymph]

Wouldn't it be 3? Goblin, castle, high roller castle

[pearl flax]

ah, right. I incorrectly* assumed that there was a high-roller goblin cave

[karmic nymph]

Overall it seems like a backend issue and not a player count issue.

[jaunty elk]

the Troll has two Sweeps now.

[wispy gazelle]

how do yall avoid the trolls roar now?

[exotic wave]

Bind, Judgement, and bonking their head. Remember you have passives that reduce damage of everything (including poison ticks) and reduce duration of negative effects, do if they don't pop your head because you've jumped and whacked em you've likely won the fight.

If they're trying to outspace you I recommend Judgement. I don't think Bind is very good and Judgment is really underused since its free guaranteed damage followed with a slow.

[crude lantern]

@pure gust The golden key is used to open the room at the top of tower in the coliseum part of the map, which you can only find in high roller dungeon

[wispy gazelle]

how do yall avoid the trolls roar now? i usually crouch and move left but ive been hit every single time now

[jaunty elk]

you dont avoid his roar. that is his Sweepp Bepsi, its a high and a low, you guessed wrong.

[exotic wave]

Using your shield against Rogues is mostly useless because they'll do a follow up before you can retaliate, jump or body manipulate so they don't headshot you and then bonk them. I've literally one shot Rogues before with Morning Star.

[jaunty elk]

one you jump, one you crouch. he can do Either, Good luck.

[wispy gazelle]

well is it new? yesterday i was able to avoid it 90% of the time

[crude lantern]

@wispy gazelle read the hotfix notes in #📢announcements

[tepid cave]

Hey, its hard for me to discribe the problem i got, my screen crinkles sometime, i tried some fixes and lowering the setting but it wont work. is that a known bug and if so do you have a fix for it? (i already put vsync on, didnt work) its only in dark and darker

[jaunty elk]

yes it is new, it was apparently not working as intended, Check Hotfix #3 in Announcements.

[wispy gazelle]

kk thank you
