q-and-a

[open flame]

IMO, zap is only good when you're geared.

[storm jungle]

WHO IS FULGOR?

[rich marten]

Everyone, what do you think about allowing up to four people to play together?

[open flame]

^That would be hard to balance

[tired pagoda]

@spiral prism knowledge - boosting spell casting speed or just simple spell casting 😛

[mental mortar]

I have 20 fighters, as a class he is imprisoned for armor, but even having collected all the passive skills and dressed in blue gear from a naked enemy, one cannot say that the chances of winning would be greatly reduced. I have 3k hours in this and there the armor will give the right to make a mistake, but here what it is, it only interferes with movement

[glass wind]

Yeah. Probably take out zap. Barely does much damage as is.

[pseudo rain]

You need +3 spell capacity. This equates to +3 knowledge worth of spell capacity. You should run Sanctuary + Lesser Heal + Holy Light + Protection + Bless. If you have INSANE spell capacity gear, you can swap out Bless for Resurrection (+10 spell capacity total needed).

For perks, I view +5 healing and 15% healing on others back to yourself as mandatory. I also pick up the -3 damage taken perk, I think it's amazing for dealing with rogues - who are most often the bane of your existence otherwise. And then for 4th perk, it's up to you. I generally go +5% physical damage with blunt weapons. If you have the +10 spell capacity set, you would go the Resurrection Perk as a 4th option.

For abilities (other than spells ofc), I would recommend getting good with Judgment. It's HUGE for us.

[glass wind]

Needs it's own map for that, but I like the idea.

[rich marten]

I'm sure that's true.

[open flame]

But like the other dude said, if it had its own map, it would be easier.

[storm jungle]

Anyone know who Fulgor is?? is that the barbarian?

[rich marten]

That's right. I think I need that map, too.

[fresh granite]

If anyone wants to chat about the fighter, items, perks etc shoot me a DM!
Given the state of the game does it make sense to only invest my gold in weapons and consumables?
Should I be spending my gold on the merchants or am I missing out by not using the trading post?
Are there perks that are simply better than others? I'm currently using second wind/sprint/dual wield as a level 10.
Very new to the game all I really do so far is aim for the head and if you see a blue portal, just take it!

[royal wind]

unique named items are high roller only right
from killing bosses

[timber cliff]

i keep getting failed to connect to server, quit the game how do i fix this? i already reinstalled twice.

[plush stirrup]

Read the announcements, server are in maintenance

[glacial sapphire]

maintenance in progress.. just w8

[wispy crystal]

when the game will fully realease? extact date?

[timber cliff]

lmao i just saw it. all gucci! 😆

[sacred lake]

i read announcements and im still not sure if the servers will be back up after hot fix. after they are done will we be free to play?

[gentle canyon]

wait, ignite affects your magic missiles as well?

[warped maple]

On paper, no matter what I put on or take off, it says I have 100 movement speed. Is this just not implemented yet?

[copper smelt]

is fighter and ranger a good duo

[pseudo rain]

Yes, I believe so. At the very least, it used to. I think it still does.

[fresh granite]

Definitely.

[sacred lake]

yes but i would say fighter and cleric

[open flame]

Fighter+Claric is a dangerous combo. Especially if the fighter gets a lot of plate gear.

[copper smelt]

my mate complaines when he plays heals soooo ranger and fighter it is

[wispy crystal]

3 fighters with bow and 1h with shield is op. just spam arrows when they get closer draw swords cant beat that !

[sacred lake]

fr

[sacred lake]

can someone please answer this im dying to play

[slow topaz]

yes servers will be back

[copper smelt]

how many other people will be in a raid

[open flame]

Bruh its gonna be down for an hour and a half. it started like 55 minutes ago.

[sacred lake]

lets go!!!!

[wispy crystal]

half hour more guys

[sacred lake]

yeah i know but im hyper focused on the game rn...

[open flame]

If you look in "Announcements", its a good place to find info on down time and updates etc.

[hard echo]

The DDoS hack has been discussed or any official information that they are aware or workint on a fix? That's a very Game break

[sacred lake]

i did but i still didnt understand if the play test will still like exist yk?

[warped maple]

Is the movementspeed stat on the stats menu not implemented yet? Says 100 no matter what to me.

[open flame]

They made an extension on the playtest to run until Wednesday

[sacred lake]

thats huge almost max lv on my fighter in one day

[gentle canyon]

does anyone know if the wizard still starts with 12 knowledge, by the by?

[azure quiver]

20 I think

[warped maple]

Just want to know if agility/not equipping gear actually can make you faster than 100%

[young bone]

why server not working

[sacred lake]

i dont think so. unless if you find a ring or have an ability to use with your character

[warped maple]

Okay. Thanks!

[mild beacon]

Why is the timer so high in all the chats?

[brittle wren]

Too many people

[sacred lake]

np

[warped maple]

Only obvious difference I can see so far is equipping a heavy wep makes you a lot slower.

[young bone]

When is server on

[hard echo]

The DDoS hack has been discussed or any official information that they are aware or working on a fix? That's a very Game break

[mild beacon]

Is there “too” many on a game that’s early access?

[sacred lake]

yeah true. im not really looking forward to when your inventory slows you down

[slow bloom]

On a Tuesday morning? I doubt it haha @mild beacon

[warped maple]

Will it ever? I feel like that's going to severely impact the game. Ranged classes get stronger and mobs way harder to deal with.

I hope they stick with just armor/whatever you have in your hands, is the only thing that impacts it. The inventory is already so small that I feel if it's going to impact ms, it'll just be a pain.

[sacred lake]

i woulnt be suprised if they did tbh its already very unforgiving but i do think it would be a questionable decision

[azure quiver]

Pack Mule Cleric, carries everything so his friends can move faster

[gentle canyon]

I imagine if they implement it it's just going to be similar to D&D rules

[dark bobcat]

as a cleric i object to that suggestion

[sacred lake]

thats evil

[warped maple]

Our cleric likes to run head first in so he's more like a paladin at this point.

[keen wren]

Is there a d&d adaptation of dark and darker in confused?

[gentle canyon]

no encumbrance to a say, 100kg of stuff, some encumbrance to 150, a lot at 200. So you're disincentivised from carrying heavy things in your bag (people's entires full sets, 4 loaded crossbows to cycle-shoot) and can chose to just scatter stuff on the ground while fleeing.

[mild beacon]

I’m always so interested to see the stats after the play tests I’ve notice some items having significantly less or higher drop rates for example I’ve not found a surgical kit so far I’ve had to get them for very cheap on the market but bandages are more common

[warped maple]

Also regarding barb weps. Am I the only one who feels it has the range of a dagger? The 2h axe.

[mild beacon]

I have over 3K adventure points as well so I’ve been in the dungeons like a skeleton

[warped maple]

Should having 4 loaded xbows even be a thing though? Sounds OP.

[brittle wren]

u wot, try playing with a dagger then

[dark bobcat]

ive seen several surgical kits, they probably only drop from certain containers

[mild beacon]

Felling axe is so short range it hurts but the double axe overhead had good range

[brazen thunder]

server still down ?

[spice wharf]

anyone else get rubberbanding? not network issue

[keen wren]

Is there a d&d adaptation of dark and darker in confused?

[warped maple]

@brittle wren Haven't playtested it for very long. I guess I just feel some weps have really short range. So far I feel like 2h spear has been the best I've used. Rarely gets stuck in walls, plain and simple long range stab.

[mild beacon]

Server will be down for another 10-15 minutes

[sacred oxide]

maybe this is a dumb question, but does the skeleton race take damage from the cleric's ability?

[gentle canyon]

it's something you can currently do. Just saying a sensible weight system could help discourage that 🙂

[brittle wren]

I played a bit of daggerwiz before rolling as barb, I could feel a pretty big diff

[reef fossil]

When will the next playtest be??

[warped maple]

I'll tell our ranger

[burnt badger]

what do you need to do to get the troubadour roll?

[teal marsh]

What is the maximum effective move speed? Or is there a chart to show when the benefits start to plateau? Does it ever plateau?

[thin vapor]

Has anyone attempted cave troll with wizard?

[warped maple]

But do you agree that the 2h axe feels a bit wonky? Not just in terms of range, but I feel I never hit with it

[open flame]

Update is out

[warped maple]

maybe I just suck

[open flame]

Im in 🤓

[brittle wren]

Only slightly with the starter axe. Felling axe and double axe are just fine to me

[dusky folio]

Do additional stats like +5damage apply to both weapons when duel wielding?

[final yarrow]

No

[wraith veldt]

This only applies to the weapon itself and when it's in use.

[storm jungle]

WHO IS FULGOR?

[shadow wedge]

In theory it sounds good but its not that great

[dusky folio]

So +5 physical on a crystal ball won't apply to a dagger?

[storm jungle]

WHO IS FULGOR?

[gentle canyon]

they do if you have them equipped at once, from my testing. I.e in your main hand and off-hand. If the second weapon is in your second weapon set, no change.

[storm jungle]

how many times have to ask before i get an answer in questions and answers???

[burnt badger]

fulgor is fulgor

[gentle canyon]

not sure how accurate the wiki is, but there's a chart there under stats

[storm jungle]

is fulgor the fighter?

[wraith veldt]

I suggest testing this on a dummy if you have the chance but it would only apply if you are actively using it and have another weapon in your other hand.
Edit: I also believe this is only the case for off-hand items that aren't weapons. Meaning if you have 2 daggers and each dagger does +5 weapon damage, then that weapon damage would only apply to themselves, it would not add up to +10 weapon damage to 1 dagger
@dusky folio

[burnt badger]

it is a longsword

[burnt badger]

https://darkanddarker.wiki.spellsandguns.com/Longsword

[storm jungle]

thanks

[shadow wedge]

think its a sword

[white yew]

[trail geyser]

ty was my vpn

[cyan agate]

you have until the 16th to play unfortunately

[warm knot]

when is the playtest ending?

[echo surge]

they updated Ironshield (their anti cheat) so maybe they block vpn noww

[crude lantern]

I use VPN but with split tunneling for discord voip. should be fine.

kinda sad they have to do that

[mellow furnace]

Thursday

[knotty rock]

Did you create a ticket ?

[final nymph]

A ticket where? I put in a bug report I don't see anywhere to submit a ticket.

[grizzled schooner]

will we get more playtests or alpha and beta versions to play between the end of the demo and the launch of the game?

[thick token]

When does playtest4 end?

[cosmic lake]

16th

[honest fiber]

Do we have any info on the next availability of the game? Next beta/demo/release? I have not been keeping up.

[final nymph]

Where do I submit a ticket? I only see a bug reports channel.

[final yarrow]

No information on the next demo/early access yet

[knotty rock]

It’s a good thing to hit

anyone else getting crashes after this update?

is teaming with another party of 3 in high rollers allowed? These guys were waiting with 6 players in the center of the map. then they preceded to go red and kill the boss and absoloutely failed but most of them got out alive while my team died to the their stupid manpower 6 people wtf man this should be bannable it's so cringe

[copper smelt]

how do you quick loot like moves thing fast

[grave karma]

Hello!

I am ur casual mega nerd gamer

I noticed a funky stat, "True Magical Damage"
This applies to 'magical' instances of damage. Makes sense.

I heard that

"Poisoned Weapon"
A successful attack applies poison that deals 4 Magic damage over 4 seconds
Poison can stack up to 5 times at once

Does Magic Damage...

HOW DOES TRUE MAGIC STACK ON POISON DAMAGE?!

Is there some kind of cap on poison damage buffed by true magic damage?

[final nymph]

poison damage is effected by resistances, true magic damage ignores resistances

[grave karma]

I understand this, the math doesnt add up

[weary folio]

any game price news ?

[fierce sage]

What math doesn't add up?

[warped maple]

Now that I just got the sleeziest inhumane kill as a lvl 3 rogue, sitting in stealth for full duration while some helpless ranger looted a big room full of chests, only to kill them and take it all, void of all shame, honor and guilt I have decided to play rogue next playtest.

[exotic wave]

What tier campfire do you need to get Second Wind back/how many grey tier campfires

[grave karma]

I had a build with +17 additional true magic damage.

I assume the equation for additional magic damage on top of poison goes as follows

(x+1)(4*y)

Where X is the additional true magic damage instances.
And Y is the number of 'stacks' of poison on the enemy.

When I tested this theory I could only get a maximum of 5 poison damage per tick (1 stack)

[exotic wave]

Likely only stacked the true magic damage on weapon swing not DOT.

[delicate bramble]

Can anyone tell me if the Barbarian Axe Specialization perk works with Throwing Axe damage?

[grave karma]

help what is DOT

[fierce sage]

Are you sure you had +17 true magic damage? That's like +2 true magic damage on every piece.

Also, the dummies seem to not be representing poison damage correctly with bonuses, at least from my experience.

Also, that equation makes no sense. Why would you be multiplying the true damage by the regular damage to calculate additional damage? I don't get it.

[floral depot]

@trail geyseri have the same...

[warm bloom]

Has anyone been having mic issues for external mics? My game wont detect my input at all

[broken karma]

does magic power effect heals on clerics?

[crude lantern]

@broken karma No, magical healing does

[broken karma]

kk

[exotic wave]

Damage overtime. I doubt there is any way to increase the magic damage from the poison passive, not sure if it even scales with Will, it might just be a flat 5 no matter what.

[fierce sage]

This is not true @broken karma

Magical Healing increases the amount of healing received, not healing done. So it will increase the healing you do to yourself, but not your healing to allies. Magical Power does increase heals.

[crude lantern]

This is true. Well now I don't know what to believe

[floral depot]

i cant connect to the server. it is freezed at connecting...

[broken karma]

ohhh okay

[fierce sage]

@crude lantern Believe the correct information which is what I said

[lofty acorn]

does magical power effect the clerics undead nuke though?

[crude lantern]

pass

[trail geyser]

it was my vpn

[grave karma]

Yes, positive.

That is definitely possible.

(X+1)(Y*4)

Where X is the additional true magic damage instances.
And Y is the number of 'stacks' of poison on the enemy.

For instance u have
+2 Additional True Magic Damage (x)
1 Stack of poison after 1 hit (Y)
I assume the 4 (represents seconds of time poisoned is flat and doesn't increase - I might be wrong)

SO

(2+1)(1*4) = 12 Magical Damage which is 3 damage per tick for 4 ticks

[fierce sage]

@grave karma The equation for tick damage is (1*StackNumber) + Additional Magic Damage, and then this gets modified by the magic damage mitigation equation, and then that product is increased by the flat number of True Magical Damage you have.

[floral depot]

@trail geyseri close my vpn. its not the problem

[grave karma]

where did u find this?! I couldnt find it anywhere

[trail geyser]

oh no idea then, i reinstalled still had the issue then turned off my vpn and it worked /shrug

[rich violet]

will the skilltree available after the release?

[grave karma]

Okay so what is the "magic damage mitigation equation"?

[waxen python]

Is there any difference between +4 phys power and +4 weapon dmg ?

[delicate bramble]

Can anyone tell me if the Barbarian Axe Specialization perk works with Throwing Axe damage?

[fierce sage]

It's just the logic of how the relevant stats get applied. Damage is calculated per tick and not for the entire ability. Since the ability does 4 ticks of 1 damage per second, the tick damage is (1*StackNumber) baseline. Then the game, like in every other circumstance, adds to your calculation your relevant stats like Additional Damage, and scales it by Magical Power. Then, the game modifies your Pre-Mitigation-Damage through the enemy's relevant resistances or armour, and then decreases their health by the final amount. True Damage is applied at the very end

[brittle shale]

Is it just me or is fighters victory strike still only working half the time? I feel like I'm killing mobs with it but only getting the heal maybe half the time

[fathom fulcrum]

what does lf, lf 1 and stuff like that mean, im new

[dire oracle]

phys power increases your overall physical multi
weapon damage does as weapon damage does

[burnt badger]

looking for 1 more = lf1m. LF2M = Looking for 2 more people to play with.

@fathom fulcrum you're welcome

[fathom fulcrum]

thanks

[fierce sage]

I don't know it off hand, but I think it's in the Player's Handbook https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_YNh5ava9fOXLA9kzthtaK7yHTuKSlef/view somewhere.

@waxen python Physical Power scales your weapon damage by a % (this % changes based on how much physical power you already have), and Weapon Damage increases your weapon damage by that flat amount. In most cases, Weapon Damage is better, unless your Physical Power and Strength combined are less than 15.

@brittle shale You only get the heal if the blow kills the enemy.

[grave karma]

oHHHHH Ive never seen this document before.....THANKS!!!!

[waxen python]

Wow thanks for this answer, just can't decide from 2 quarterstaffs for cleric:
35 +4 phys power or 38 +4 weapon dmg

[fierce sage]

Definitely 38 +4 weapon dmg

[dusk totem]

1shot from full hp through a pot of protection?

[waxen python]

yeah, have -1.6% phys right now, speedy build

[fierce sage]

They're somewhat close, but that one should be doing a couple points more damage

@dusk totem From what? Also, what kind of armour were you wearing, what rarity of potion, and what class?

[dusk totem]

barb headshot, i had shit armor

[fierce sage]

Barbs are the kings of one-shots, their whole kit revolves around amping up for a single huge blow

[rustic ice]

Im stuck on the connecting screen :( anyone got any advice? restarted steam, and the game, it shows the version 0.4.0.907

[main plover]

when is the playtest ending?

[crude lantern]

@main plover 16th Feb

[pale rampart]

Is there diminishing returns on slows and immobilize

[main plover]

nice

[winged shell]

how long will this playtest last ?

[cobalt wyvern]

It ends on the 16th afaik

[delicate bramble]

Can anyone tell me if the Barbarian Axe Specialization perk works with Throwing Axe damage?

[brittle shale]

I know and that's what I'm saying. I've stabbed and killed enemies several times with a longsword and not gotten the heal

I will probably just start recording gameplay and see if I can catch victory strike not proccing

[carmine pebble]

guys do the skins apply to all chars?

[sour hare]

how can one link an item in the trade post? Shift + l click doesn't work

[wise snow]

Afaik that's only way, works just fine on my end

[raven portal]

i heard the playtests ends today or the 15 is that true?

[iron urchin]

where can i report 2 players for playing together in the goblin cave?,,,

[sour hare]

thursday no?

[dark gyro]

Yea Thursday

[brittle shale]

There aren't rules stating players can't help eachother. Be that goblin cave or the castle

[iron urchin]

EW, but they both died so

[grave karma]

@fierce sage I was reading the damage page (53) on the handbook and it has no calculations on true magical damage.

Of course we can assume it is the same BUT I dont want to so Im going to test poison DOT with true magical added.

Ill let u know the results in... a few hours Im not home yet

[hushed schooner]

what counts as arcane spell ?

[primal canopy]

That makes sense, they can ignore 75% of armor and if they hit you in the head it’s game over especially with bad gear.

[turbid kraken]

Magic missiles only

[minor cargo]

does rogues poison/rupture scale with anything?

[hushed schooner]

if trap gets last hit do I get xp ?

[hot sonnet]

[grim basalt]

is there a point of using armor? every time i wear full armor i get 2 tapped

[reef hawk]

Why don't the devs want to leave the game open with constant updates instead of making short-time playtests? Isn't it more useful to have a playerbase that gives them back info surrounding bugs and balance and stuff? I would actually pay if they asked me to

In the announcement tab scroll up a bit and there is an announcement with what time it will end in your time zone

How are the points distributed in this game?

[fierce sage]

Points?

[junior stirrup]

What do you mean?

like the adventure points after you successfully extract. The ones you use to buy skins. What mob gives how much exactly and what not

[broken fiber]

I got false banned--- how do I fix it??

[drowsy lagoon]

I think its based on how much loot u get out with

[junior stirrup]

I couldn’t tell you exactly because I never paid much attention, but I get a decent amount through pvp

[meager void]

am i the only one who having a lagging? I tired every single methods such as nvidia graphic settings and its not working at all
this never happend last beta

[jagged ice]

Is there gonna be more characters customization in the full game. I like what they have with the in game currency

[junior stirrup]

Only undead mobs

[carmine geyser]

Which cleric ability damages players

[junior stirrup]

I believe they plan on adding more

[jagged ice]

I feel as if it’s a good ig micro transaction persay

[junior stirrup]

Judgment and smite

[dreamy sky]

wahts the best perk out of these for barb smash/ thoughness/ berserk/ carnage

[minor cargo]

smash

[dreamy sky]

but thoughness looks a bit better cuz im not aggresive

cuz it makes my hp from 140 to 154

[junior stirrup]

I run smash, morale boost, berserk, and carnage and get great results

[minor cargo]

dont play barb if u sit in corner of map

[dreamy sky]

i dont but i dont engange in all the fights if theres a archer/wiz i only do if theyre alone because if i have to kill another barb and theres a archer behind him shooting me thats a garanteed loss

[carmine geyser]

morale boost common L

[minor cargo]

do the shout for piss easy pve?

[junior stirrup]

It’s saved me multiple times in fights because no one expects you to heal from kills

[dreamy sky]

ii run morale boost/ two handed weapon expert/axe specialization and thoughness rn

[carmine geyser]

Also never use zweihander, bardiche, warmaul on barb

[junior stirrup]

Yeah the fear shout helps a lot for pve

[proven ocean]

if you walk into a rogue whose stealthed does it knock him out of it

[dreamy sky]

i use a epic double axe (70) dmg) with armor pen and phusical dmg

[carmine geyser]

run shirtless perk, axe spec, added hp and smash. then use rage and fear

[junior stirrup]

Idk man the Zweihänder Mops the floor when I’m using it, multiple team wipes, just gotta know the spacing and the swing length

[dreamy sky]

i run a epic northern full tunic for armor

[carmine geyser]

Nah Zwei dosent have to outplay potential against players with hands and monitors

[sly goblet]

what time does the staircase open in solo

[fierce sage]

The extra damage and movement speed makes me stray away from chest armour as Barb

@sly goblet It doesn't have a set time

[regal echo]

Random.

[carmine geyser]

dont run shirt on barb, build pure strength and take the health perk for better sustain

[fierce sage]

??

[dreamy sky]

but for example my cp gives me 89 armor so if im in a hit out with another barb ill have more hp but a bit less dmg

[carmine geyser]

Sooooo slow any opponent can stay out of your range and the swings are so bad

[junior stirrup]

Sounds like you just can’t use it well, gotta change the angle by crouching and looking up and down, left and right to make the timing of the hit different

[fierce sage]

You can absolutely use them. They're just more punishing, but if you're good you can do it just fine

[junior stirrup]

Also the right click can through people off

[carmine geyser]

Why dont u just run battle axe if u wanna cleave

[junior stirrup]

Because big sword does the job and it’s fun to use

[carmine geyser]

2 different angles of swings and higher dmg and speed? U can hit 2-3 enemies with each swing and its so devastating

[lean anvil]

2 noob cleric questions: is there a max range for spells? bc I feel like my crosshair is right on my allies when I cast spells and I sometimes still cast on self. and can you stack the protection spell with blue pots?

[regal sluice]

Since today is my birthday can I request the play test be extended another week? Lol I love playing the game DEVs pls do this! Tis not a joke ma lords and ladies

<BRK> <BRK>

On a side note (maybe the wrong place for this) will there be server roles for like “new player/NOOB” or “Skilled/not your first rodeo”?

[carmine geyser]

u also dont get axe specialization on them so barbs kit isnt optimal use for them

[fierce sage]

Axe+10 is often worse than zwei+0

[dreamy sky]

just buy the game when it comes out

[junior stirrup]

Yes and yes

[nimble hawk]

when is it coming out

[lean anvil]

ok thx ❤️

[carmine geyser]

how bro u not making sense ZWEI ISNT IT

[dreamy sky]

well idk bout ironmace but other games when demos end it takes 2-3 weeks to come out

[junior stirrup]

I don’t know the exact range but there is a limit

[nimble hawk]

noice

[rocky onyx]

Can you find unique items in chests on high roller or only from bosses?

[fierce sage]

"u not making sense" Are you not capable of doing simple math? A Zweihander, along with other weapons like the War Maul, will often do greater than 10 damage more than a battle axe. Therefore, Axe Specialization is wasted as it still doesn't compensate for the lower damage. Not that complicated.

[dreamy sky]

my friend found mythic gloves in a chest in normal dungeons so yeah

[fierce sage]

Full release likely won't be for a few months. Definitely not a few weeks.

[scarlet thorn]

What exactly is magical power

[junior stirrup]

I think they want early access in a few months and full release is projected at the end of the year, both subject to change

[dreamy sky]

dmg from spells

[fierce sage]

It scales up the efficacy of your magic

[scarlet thorn]

Isn’t that the same as will? Or % increase of damage?

[open roost]

can't remember where I saw, but I saw that its expected to release Q3 of this year. so, this summer? not sure if thats early access release or full release.

[dreamy sky]

maybe i might be telling false info cuz im only a lvl 4 mage

[nimble hawk]

early access is better than nothing tarkov is still early access i think

[undone walrus]

hii, could we get off golds from purse ?

[open roost]

early access is kind of a warning label really to save their butts lol

[junior stirrup]

Yeah I think they have changed it a few times, not certain my self anymore

[fierce sage]

Will increases your Magical Power by 1, but it also increases other things

[open roost]

ngl id probably drop like $30 NOW to keep playing

[junior stirrup]

I forget the default input but you can get gold out of purses by splitting the stack

[dreamy sky]

same i said as soon as it comes out ill buy it if doesnt cost more than 30$

[open roost]

while i doubt it'll be higher than $40, i honestly would pay a full 60 for it lol im hooked

[dreamy sky]

alt+ left click

[undone walrus]

thanks !

[dreamy sky]

same but as soon as u get stacked it gets kinda boring rn me and my friends are just going into the 2nd floor for better loot but i still 1 shot most mobs(except mini bosses and bosses)

[junior stirrup]

Aren’t there going to be quests like tarkov eventually, that would help a lot with the play time

[naive sluice]

hi, if something says +n true magical damage/+n magical damage, will this damage stack upon my hits with a melee weapon?

[open roost]

fair enough. Ive been switching between classes regularly, so i dont have a character super stacked

[scarlet thorn]

Is additional magic damage different than flat increase magic damage?

[dreamy sky]

yeah also a skill tree thats why im maxing every class

[minor cargo]

i dont cuz i get overconfident and die when im stacked

[open roost]

same hahaha as soon as i have a good set i take it out and usually die

[empty plinth]

Am I too stupid to get good at the game at a certain point how many hours are you just never going to be a player good enough to get a big stash

[dreamy sky]

cant die if i 1 tap everything as i do 210 dmg+ headshot

[open roost]

honestly just play over and over and over and over. you're capable, trust me. just gotta figure out which playstyles work for you and continue with those

[empty plinth]

I'm decent at fighting I don't have any problem with it

[open roost]

fighting isnt everything though. id argue that its more important having game sense

[empty plinth]

My strategy might be improving too things are so complicated to look at it from a how do I improve I kind of wish it was streamlined and I could just watch a video

[fierce sage]

You're gonna lose all your progress haha, no reason to grind it now if that's what you meant

[neat bramble]

do you play Solo or with group?

[dreamy sky]

yeah but i hope the skill tree comes out in the demo

[empty plinth]

Both but I've been grouping a lot

[open roost]

you can watch videos! ive watched a bunch so far and some not even of a class i play. its not going to be streamlined and easy, that would make the game not fun.

[neat bramble]

Once playtest ends I would recommend going over the VODs of streamers who are good at the game and look at what kind of plays/decisions they are making, might learn a new thing or two

[empty plinth]

I mean just the strategy of building your earnings not necessarily winning or whatever

[fierce sage]

The demo is going to last 2 more days

[gusty hedge]

Hi i have a problem when i login with my char and que for a dungeon the game crashes any1 with the same problem ?

[empty plinth]

Earnings and how to invest to set yourself up for success

[junior stirrup]

I recommend learning when to engage a fight or run away depending on your resources available and environment that you a playing in that benefits your class, that will get your survival rate up which in turn gets you more money

[neat bramble]

mostly just going into a lobby, hoarding a bunch of jewelry that's Flawed or better, keeping Blues that have great stat rolls and selling those on the Market, and playing defensively until you can escape

[void cipher]

How does impact power work against shields? Is it a percent chance to ignore a block?

[empty plinth]

Is impact power even a thing

[modest siren]

What are ironshield’s policy? Saw that in the patche’s changes list

[empty plinth]

Maybe it is an issue with my game sense rather than my combat skill

[void cipher]

I dunno. I see the smash perk on the barb say it can defeat blocks and parries and i dont know what that means

[open roost]

i think it may be how long they're stunned after they block? not stunned but like staggered and unable to attack

[dreamy sky]

oh yeah forgot about that

[neat bramble]

34ish more hours

[empty plinth]

When this game is gone I'm gonna be sad

[normal dune]

have a question does having a secondary bow that gives + 5 Weapon Dmg transfer over to your main bow?

[modest siren]

There is no way to ignore a block. If someone blocks an attack, the attack will always be blocked. Is impact power a stat in the game?

[junior stirrup]

You have to have to weapon out for the stats to apply

[neat bramble]

no, only what you keep in your hands is what works for stats

[void cipher]

Yeah its in the detailed stats at the very bottom

[empty plinth]

I don't think so I think attributes are only applied when equiped and out

[normal dune]

ahh k

[modest siren]

The effects of your weapons only apply when holding them in your hands

[empty plinth]

Obviously rings amulets and armors are always applied

[normal dune]

kk thanks guys ❤️

[void cipher]

That makes sense

[modest siren]

I’ll check that out. If i find out what it is, do you want me to pin you here again?

[empty plinth]

But when you put a away a weapon you move fast because the movement is no longer being applied

[void cipher]

Sure thanks

[empty plinth]

I don't think smash makes a difference vs blocking realistically

A block basically means you tied and it's reset to neutral

[modest siren]

It’s probably what blech said tho

[empty plinth]

No one gets a free hit because they land a block not even with counterhit on

Except parrying with the longsword I think? I'm not sure

[hazy pagoda]

i have a crash everytime i start the game , didnt had that before the patch i dont know how to fix it

[fierce sage]

You can definitely get a hit it with the longsword parry before they can get a second

[candid swift]

What/who is Fulgor?

[hazy pagoda]

its an unreal 5 engine dungeonn crawler crash

[willow venture]

how does the landslide exit work in the goblin caves does a certain requirement have to be met

[naive sluice]

if something says +n true magical damage/+n magical damage, will this damage stack upon my hits with a melee weapon?

[limber kite]

cant login...

[fathom haven]

does true magic dmg apply to rogue's poison?

[modest siren]

The majority of weapons that can block/riposte-block are pretty fast at counter attacking

[naive sluice]

poison is a magic damage so i guess yea

[simple turret]

how do i know how much to sell my item for?

[empty plinth]

Figuring out what stats are good

[junior stirrup]

Just look at what other people are trying to sell a similar item for and place a price around that

[empty plinth]

Where to sell it to which class and figuring out how much those stats make the item valuabler from the vanilla version

Idk it's not easy but when you kind of understand the basics of what class would want that that's a big part of it

[fierce sage]

Only if your melee weapon has a magical damage component. Such as a Crystal Sword, a rogue's Poisoned Weapon, a Wizard's Ignite, etc.

[naive sluice]

what a shame, thanks for answer

[dusty dawn]

Does weapon damage bonus from secondary weapon affect damage of the primary weapon?

[junior stirrup]

No

[fierce sage]

No stats on anything unequipped will apply to you, and secondary weapons are considered "unequipped"

If you are dual wielding however, both of your weapons will give you their bonuses.

[dusty dawn]

Yes, I mean dual weapon like daggers with weapon damage bonus. Does it affect certain weapon or both equipped?

[tranquil yarrow]

how i make invisibility spell longer?

[fierce sage]

Oh, in that case both weapons in your hands will give you their bonuses.

@tranquil yarrow Get more Will

[junior stirrup]

Get equipment that gives will and buff duration

[torn remnant]

Does experience stop accruing after you level in a dungeon? Saw a guide video that states can only level once per run

[burnt badger]

smite (+10 magic damgae on all enemies) on cleric works with his mace ?

[fading estuary]

when does the valentine shop reroll?

[coral flax]

Where can I find information about the Druid class?

[junior stirrup]

Yeah works with any of his weapons, even the fists

[fierce sage]

Yes lol

[fierce sage]

I've definitely leveled up more than once in a run. Doesn't really matter a whole lot anyway

[junior stirrup]

I don’t think that’s true, I’m pretty sure if you meet the threshold you can level twice

[torn remnant]

Thank you!

[misty canyon]

pretty sure you can go 2 levels but its very unlikely that it will ever happen anyways so its not a big problem if it's only 1 lv a match

[foggy night]

do you guys have NA discord server and archives server?

[small halo]

does equip speed affect how quickly you sheathe

[misty lintel]

Do characters wipe each playtest?

[fierce sage]

Yes.

[gentle canyon]

only if the weapon has magical damage itself (so, crystal sword)

[versed burrow]

how many percent give +1 physical bonus pls ? how many bonus damage give strength if rogue. i want to compare 1str / 1 weapon damage. interesting about all theorycraft about stats in game

[fathom haven]

3-2 percent if you have less than 15 and 1 percent after, I would weapon damage is always better for rogue

[feral cypress]

how do u post a item in the trade hub chat

[versed burrow]

yes its just for calculate for armors, sometimes if its best to have 1str or +3 physical bonus. and sometimes we take what we can because everydeath i take 1-2hour for find need gear for my build^^

[fierce sage]

Shift click it

[fathom haven]

no, action speed does, tho

[gentle canyon]

check out the wiki, it has all the stats and how they scale 🙂

[frozen lodge]

did we figure out who Fulgor is and will he extend the test again?

[versed burrow]

with number ? hm dont find it on wiki > its good ty!!!!

[fallow jacinth]

How do i find the golden door in HR?

[fathom haven]

https://darkanddarker.wiki.spellsandguns.com/Stats#Physical_Power

[tough folio]

when I start the game, it tells me to use another driver (amd 22.2.2) because the one I am using right now is known to have bugs. sadly, the 22.2.2 is not operating for my system as it wasnt made for my specific graphic card. any other driver I should/can use?
edit: I have a amd r9 380

[burnt badger]

When the suggestion bot posts a suggestion it has blue bar on the left of the text. However sometimes that bar is green instead of blue. What does it mean? That the suggestion is confirmed?

[ocean yarrow]

I have been getting lags even thouth i got 40 fps

[versed burrow]

wtf 1 str = 1 Physical Power only

[gentle canyon]

I made a simple google sheet that can show you what changing attributes does to your class's relevant stats. Public version available here:

[alpine ridge]

Is it crashing on startup?

[tough folio]

the only thing i noticed is that my fans sometimes randomly go up to 100%

[feral sky]

I´ve got a question regarding the connection into the game. It happens when i get past the Game lobby where you wait for 17 more players to connect to start the game. After the countdown ends and you get the second loading screen the game just keeps giving me this message. Does anyone know how to fix this because i cant simply click on yes, that will just show me to same screen 2s after. Help

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/575427965945380874/1075151742301372486/1676406878625.jpg?width=625&height=469

[weary needle]

as a wizard isnt it better to pick the more knowledge perk over faster spell casting or am i stupid?

[alpine ridge]

I think i have the same card.
You stuck at 21.5.2?

[junior stirrup]

I would run faster casting, you ha e enough knowledge to run just about any combo

[tough folio]

I have 22.6.1

[alpine ridge]

I get a memory leak on OS startup with anything higher when i tried installing newer amd drivers a few years ago. Was terrible

[weary needle]

but doesnt more knowledge also increase spell casting? i was testing it out and it looked like the base of both give 10% but if you have more knowledge you can just cast faster with the knowledge perk

[alpine ridge]

Fan issue kind of went away once i lived somewhere i controlled the thermostat at to make the room cool oddly enough.

Used to have the same problem with fan.

[junior stirrup]

I’m not sure the exact amount but there is diminishing returns with increasing knowledge for cast speed and the perk just gives it to you flat out

[pale rampart]

Does Molotov scale with weapon damage or magic damage

[junior stirrup]

The perk as in quick chant

Could definitely go and test it out, record it at 60 FPS and count how many frames it takes the charge up running each perk and nothing else

[verbal plaza]

do we keep the skeleton skin for when the game releases? or the next play test?

[junior stirrup]

No it’ll reset when the play test ends

[verbal plaza]

awe :/

[timber wigeon]

game is crashing CONSTANTLY, and that is a huge worry since the last playtest wasn't crashing at all. any solutions for unity crashes?

[proven ocean]

what's the strategy to deal with the ghost king? anything i should know

[median solar]

does weapon damage on a robe add magic damage to my spellbook?

[feral sky]

Does anyone else get a connection bug after the lobby phase of the game ?

[hot sonnet]

bruh i play rogue all time and i know how shity they are.u must be purple+ to make ppl die.if not be rdy to get 1-2 shoted or meet other rogue and u both die cause poison\rapture. the idea of class good but wtf they passive\active so bad.look at other classes.+50%hp in battle or +15ms for 10 sec.also some have +10 pure damage and what rogue have?5%dagger damage lmao. they add swords mastery but no profit for use it.and the worst shit is hp. 80hp like a joke for melee.

[grave karma]

lets play together, I would love to show u how I play

[paper sierra]

dk about last playtest but now game wanna crash every 10-15 minutes somedays. Error seems related to DX but i'm using the lastest version of DX and drivers. There is no reasons for such errors.(only restarting pc is helping) anyone knows if it's fixable or not?

[warm oar]

Sounds like he facetanks.

[hot sonnet]

if u call play run away from everyone then no xD

[grave karma]

I dont run, I bait, I love fighting as rogue

[warm oar]

called it. don't facetank as a rogue, it doesn't end well. there's more keys than w on your keyboard

[hot sonnet]

facetank as rogue fun.2 hits=dead

[grave karma]

1 if barb

[median solar]

Does "+X Weapon Damage" act as adaptable damage that would add physical damage to swords and magic damage to spellbooks etc? Or is it just physical?

[hot sonnet]

yea hs barb so broken.they move set fun(no)

[grave karma]

page 53 I believe https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_YNh5ava9fOXLA9kzthtaK7yHTuKSlef/view

[hot sonnet]

just fix mouse activity shit and fight will be much fun

[broken fossil]

Anyone have any fixes or reccomendations for the stutters? it gets very annoying

[tribal hawk]

Bruh i got scammed on market XD
I was fast trading and i was buing gold dagger and Man ping gold dagger inntrade but give me green XD

[timid wagon]

how does a barb benefit from having knowledge? all the legendary items i see have knowledge on them and people are selling for 1k?

[paper sierra]

also main rogue and know that this class is quite useless without tank/archer 1/2 hits and u already dead u can try ti kite monsters but if it's faster than u - death. Game needs evasion mechanics for agility related classes to make it more reasonable

[paper sierra]

it's just the price for legendary items

[wise raven]

are servers still having issues

not letting me connect

[ocean yarrow]

I have been getting lags even thouth i got 40 fps anyone know how fix?

[marsh terrace]

does Mika Vista do damage to players still

[timid wagon]

wouldnt it be less valued for having that attribute? thats what i was thinking but didnt know if barb had use for knowledge

[hot sonnet]

well some sort of dash or shadowstep will be good idea.cause invis trash

[paper sierra]

it would, but most doesnt care.

[hot sonnet]

nah.game is fresh.developers have much more stuff then fix rogue(cause if u made it to powerfull then ppl start cry and u make even more work for urselfs)

i still hope they have some sort of amazyng talents(probably will be shit aswel xD)

[toxic warren]

Hey, My game is stuck on "connecting" when you first click "ok" does anyone have a fix for this issue?

[junior stirrup]

Did auto correct get you or am I not understanding what you are asking

[hot sonnet]

do u play High roller or basic?

[grave karma]

both

[junior stirrup]

I know that the game doesn’t work on vpn if you are using that

[median solar]

@grave karma that is so cool, though unfortunately it doesnt have an explicit answer about magical damage bonus coming from a +weapon damage, it does show the base weapon damage foruma + weapon damage but idk if
spellbook counts as a weapon

tho it does say "magical damage 6" as the base dmg for spellbook

[dusky imp]

Do you know if we will keep our gear till the next playtest or should I just play my stash down?^^

[hot sonnet]

if u play atm invite me.name same.brb 3-4 min

[junior stirrup]

You keep nothing, go big mode

[dusky imp]

still sad but at least gives me some fun rounds^^

[grave karma]

Im calculating tru magic dmg and how it interacts with poison rn ill inv u later (Ill dm u)

[toxic warren]

ok that might be the issue, however ive been using one every other time ive played

[hot sonnet]

kk

[grave karma]

yea ik its not too specific - thats why I have to test tru magic damage interaction with poison

[toxic warren]

it wasnt the issue

[merry smelt]

Has anyone been able to turn on discord overlay for D&D? It just doesnt seem to allow me and I'm not sure what I'm missing.

[junior stirrup]

Yeah I was using one for the longest time then it stopped working but when I turned it off it worked again

[junior stirrup]

I’ll look into it and get back to you if I find something

[toxic warren]

yeah i turned it off and the problem is still occuring

[toxic warren]

ok thank you

[hidden osprey]

I have the same issue. Can't play with or without VPNs since the last update. Exitlag also doesn't work. Stuck on Connecting for hours.

[toxic warren]

nvm it just worked

[junior stirrup]

Nice

[solar gyro]

Hey i kinda just picked up the game idk if the lobbies are all a mix or not but i have only seen 3 stacks when im just a solo so idk if i need to change a setting or something

[junior stirrup]

There is the solo only dungeon or the 3 man dungeon, I personally just run the 3 man one even solo because it feels more consistent, but if you want to run the solo one click the picture above the ready button to change it

[azure quiver]

Anyone know the average price of lockpicks?

[fierce sage]

15-30 from what I've seen. You can sometimes sell em for more

[fierce sage]

The Goblin Caves is the solo dungeon, you can select your map above the Start button

[azure quiver]

Ah thanks, guess i'll sell 3 for 50g then

[marsh terrace]

The clerics chant damage circle

[junior stirrup]

Only damages the monsters

[placid jewel]

Guys what is the difference between True Physical Damage, Physical Power and Physical Damage???

[inner flax]

Does anyone know the Lich's health in a normal dungeon? You can find all stats and their values here @placid jewel https://darkanddarker.wiki.spellsandguns.com/Stats#Interaction_Speed True Dmg is the ultimate flatt damage as it does NOT care about any type of armor or magic resistance... UPDATED: You gotta read, silly. Basically 1 Str = 1 Physical Power. Then theres a physical power BONUS (This is a percentage of bonus physical damage you do and is derived FROM your physical power. But depending on how much strength you have already, you may get more or less bang for your buck which is what the wiki tables show.

[placid jewel]

Ok and what is the difference between phy power and damage? the wiki doesnt explain at all.
E: Thx for the answer btw 🙂

OOOOOOOOH ok now I get it 🙂 Thx m8 Basically, phy power comes first and it is translated into phys damage, so phys damage is better overall. Thx m8 🙂

[quartz fossil]

Question as a rogue player, how come people can see me when im fully invisible? They didn't see me go invis or hear footsteps,

[minor pendant]

potential that the barbarian has to kill any 1 without equipment is absurd

[placid jewel]

If you aren't using the inv passive, you'll go visible as soon as you move or make an action. If you do, they aint seeing you nor hearing you

[quartz fossil]

I did use that, there was no clue for the people to see me, one was a three man where one of their players locked on to me and another time a archer just came into the room and started shooting at me when i was invisible 100%

[placid jewel]

Maybe they suspected? If not, maybe cheats? Although I dont know if there is any cheat for this game yet. I would recommend you to wait for someone more experienced tho

[quartz fossil]

it was very sus when the archer was shooting at me invis, even aimed for my head

[tall tundra]

why does it keep connecting?

[sinful niche]

can you no longer open locked chests as rogue without a lockpick? hasnt worked last 2 runs

[junior stirrup]

You have to have the perk equipped, and if you do have it equipped it may be a new bug from the most recent patch

[sinful niche]

ah thank you,wasnt aware it was a perk,i shoulda checked that,cheers

[valid fog]

is +5 phys dmg , +5 true dmg and +5 weapon dmg doing the same effect for my bow? Im guessing true dmg negates armor res?

[peak vine]

when i start the game it ask normal or dx11 what does dx11 ?

[open roost]

dx11 is usually for older hardware, so if you have newer hardware go with normal (dx12)

[still geode]

stats on wepon and shield count if they in my hands?

[peak vine]

what is older hardware ?

[valid fog]

3-4 gens downish

if ur working with a 8k series cpu and or 10 series gtx GPU that prob be considered older hardware

[orchid seal]

can someone please tell me how does armor work is it overall armor or just to that body part for example if i have god tier leggings and boots but get hit in chest does it reduce the damage

[wraith harbor]

IS IT A RESET TOMORROW?

[modest siren]

Armour adds armour rating (AR), which decreases the dmg received (any body part). Some helmets also have a special stat saying it decreases the dmg received from headshots

[agile crest]

hello, there was a problem, I don’t know how to solve it, can anyone already come across? I didn’t use any third-party programs even for other games I play today the first day writes your access to the game has been permanently revoked by using unauthorized program

[modest siren]

If you go on the stash screen and click on the stats page, you can see more details about them. Aside the AR, it tells you how much % it decreases the dmg received by

[modest siren]

There has been cases of people getting checked as hackers wrongfully. You probably should tell ironmace it happened and that you didn’t do anything.
I guess you could do it in "bug report"? Although they may have said something somewhere about what to do in that situation and the specific way to reach out to them

[loud seal]

Anyone else keep getting "Disk Write Error" for recent update? Tried everything

[torpid adder]

does weapon damage bonus on armor count for throwables like oil lantern? my friend just got 1 shot by an oil lantern

[wraith harbor]

anyone want to watch me scam people to let the DEVS learn that its so easy

[modest siren]

Wdym

[tough folio]

I am writing a message for my friend: "I´ve got a question regarding the connection into the game.

anyone knows if this is a common bug or something on his side? he was able to play the game normally before :/

[modest siren]

I have no idea actually, good question. However, i doubt it’d apply to oil lanterns and molotovs since they don’t have a dmg stat. Maybe it does for throwing knives and axes tho

[wraith harbor]

3 and 8 looks the frekaing same, if u sell 3 CANDIES by saying 8 for 150G people will buy it

SELLING 8 F**** candies , but in reality its just 3...

[proper pine]

how do you escape from hell? i didn't find any portals

[small harbor]

there are only blue ones super late into the game in hell think 2nd last

[proper pine]

is there any reason to kill the bosses there?

[small harbor]

yeah really good loot they are difficult though

[limpid scaffold]

how much could i sell cloth pants for that give +5 true physical damage?

[small harbor]

green 50 - 100 blue 100 - 200 depends on if some one really really wants them

[fiery vigil]

Is there any info when the game is gonna be online again after the end of playtest time ?

[small harbor]

not at this time but has been about every 2-3 months

[willow fog]

has anyone else noticed a significant change to the damage spells are doing with no change to gear

[small harbor]

could be more players with better gear so more magic resist and the skeleton skin has increased magic resist at the cost of reduced amour

[zinc depot]

If I unlock the skeleton skin, does it unlock for all my characters?

[small harbor]

yes it dose it will most likely be wiped after playtest ends though

[keen cedar]

PvEvP

[rotund imp]

have the devs said anything about keeping the goblin cave (or the idea of a solo dungeon)

[agile mountain]

does the cleric ability work on people with the skele skin?

[small harbor]

no it dose not

[agile mountain]

what about revived people?

[small harbor]

what do you mean?

[agile mountain]

HOW DO i split

[small harbor]

its alt drag or control drag to a diffrent tile

[inner ridge]

Loading into dark and darker stuck on connecting turned off vpn and checked network settings. Is this a priority for a patch?

[slender kiln]

Does this game have a round about date for release for beta/alpha?

[covert cove]

in 2 weeks

[slender kiln]

Hmm. Thats odd that on steam they did not give that information considering its only in two weeks.

[weary coral]

[grave karma]

Math nerds HELLLLLP

Okay so Im still trying to calculate poison damage interaction with true magical damage.

(rogue) Castillion dagger hitting a barb (no armor no additional resistances) with +2 True magical damage

my calculations are as follows...

(24x.93)+(4x.384)+2 = 25.856

24 is the castillon's flat dmg
.93 is the reverse of the total physical resistances (physical power bonus for rogue -17% but then +10% from the barbs physical damage reduction makes 7% reduction total)
4 is the poison total DOT
.384 is the revers of the total magical resistances (magical power bonus for rogue -50% and also -11.6% resistance from barb making 61.6% reduction in magical total)
The 2 is the flat added true magical damage

When I experimented in game I got a flat number of 25.

Then I ask 2 questions.

IS MY MATH WRONG?!
Or does this game round down even if above half?

[rotund imp]

we just want it to be 2 weeks

[slender kiln]

Yes, I realize this.

[covert cove]

thats good

[wicked trellis]

ccan u pickpocket peoples weapons off their hands

[covert cove]

how does pickpocket even work

[summer wyvern]

so if i'm at a vendor and put something in the buy window but then decide against the purchase is the item supposed to just disappear from the vendor list after I close the window? two axes just did this to me recently

[small harbor]

pick pocket only takes items from the back pack

[small harbor]

the venders reset every so often so would have just been bad timing

[hybrid ore]

Is there any Release date in mind for this beautiful game?

[summer wyvern]

the vendor timer doesn't mean anything then? weaponsmith has like 2:45 min when I was looking at his shop

as in nearly 3 hrs before he's supposed to get new stuff?

[small harbor]

the current times shown dont mean anything at the moment it was the same last playtest

[smoky sedge]

Any reason why i cant verify files and when i load the game its just infinite connecting?

[summer wyvern]

ok well I will remember this. thx for the clarification on the shop timers. will have to be more careful shopping XD

[small harbor]

maybe try reinstalling?

[exotic mural]

What is the starting movement speed? FOr example a weapon will say "-45 movement speed" what did the number start at?

[smoky sedge]

do you lose everything if uninstall?

[small harbor]

no you do not

[summer wyvern]

i've never seen my "movement" speed in the stats page say anything other than 0(100) but I know if I take off my armor I move faster than with it on LUL

[small harbor]

movement speed is based off your agility

[fierce sage]

No specific date yet, no.

@exotic mural Baseline is 300, but that is modified by agility

[white yew]

Is anyone else stuck on connecting?

[smoky sedge]

okay

[exotic mural]

thank you, where can i find specifics like this, such as how much movement you gain per agility?

[hybrid ore]

Thank you.

[fierce sage]

The wiki has a large list of useful charts and such, and lots of it is also here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_YNh5ava9fOXLA9kzthtaK7yHTuKSlef/view in the Player's Handbook. If you don't trust the link, just search "Player's Handbook" in the Discord search bar and you'll see a moderator post the same link

[exotic mural]

thank you

[grim basalt]

does sanctuary heal enemy players?

[fierce sage]

Yep.

I don't believe there are any instances where the game differentiates your teammates from other players.

[small harbor]

heals all players and damages undead

[small harbor]

yeah from what i can tell players are just players for all spells

[grim basalt]

thanks

[summer wyvern]

Thanks for the link ...very informative

[ebon loom]

Failed to connect the server. Quit the game. Is this normal?

[dawn helm]

why can i not see any abilities or the zone

[white yew]

Yeah i cant either sadly

[wanton yew]

is scamming punishable via trader ? asking because I was scammed

[white yew]

Dumb question but is the ranger 15% damage boost to long range weapons, does that count for all bows? Or just long bows

[fierce sage]

No. The game does sooo much to prevent scamming, it seems they take a "we've done all we can" policy. As they should.

@white yew All bows.

[small harbor]

how were you scammed you need to confirm the trade 2 times before its finished so not sure how you were scammed?
currently the candys number needs to be more clear though

[echo wadi]

is anyone else permanently connecting but never actually connects?

[strange fractal]

anyones game not syncing to steam since the update?

[ashen falcon]

damn, sick pfp

[humble smelt]

Hey, sorry for bothering but I would like to know why the nickname I want to pick is not available. Is there a list of rules or is it simply taken by another player? Or simply where I can ask this?

[wheat nimbus]

Anyone know why some mob in solo dungeon goblin just never seems to take damage when I hit them?
I just had a case where I was hitting a death beattle for 7 times with a falcion, usually the shit dies in TWO hit.

It wasnt red or elite or anything like that. I was giga geared too :c (This also happend sometimes with that ONE goblin near the library south west spawn)

Basically wondering if theres some wierd bug with mobs in goblin dungeon cause i notice this from time to time and I been diving the solo dungeons pretty much this whole week

[upbeat current]

how does XP work? is it the last person that hits the mob? does barb hitting box's / chests count towards looting? last hit on player?

[wheat nimbus]

I dont think anyone actually knows (except devs since there no indication when you get exp and there no way to test)
But from experience.

Escaping and killing MOBS seems to give the most exp from personal experience

Pretty sure dealing damage doesnt matter, neither do the amount of loot you escape with.

[cobalt gale]

does anyone know of any good dnd trade discords

[echo wadi]

good question i want to know too

[wheat nimbus]

Any reason ya all just not using the ingame one?
I mean the filter aint that topnotch, but atleast some basic filter is there

[cobalt gale]

unique items arent posted often in trade and most of the times cant be bought with just gold would be nice if there was a discord to find unique level gear and leges with good rolls

[vast smelt]

is there a way to see your statistics? like how many games you've escaped, etc.

[echo wadi]

are vpns not allowed to play anymore?

[fierce sage]

If you're trying to use your discord name, I imagine the second half is a bannned* phrase.

[humble smelt]

I was, thanks.

[wheat nimbus]

Only for high roller sadly

[vast smelt]

damn, okay thanks

[wheat nimbus]

Hopefully there gona be one in EA

[sacred aspen]

what does the "physical healing" stat effect? just bandages and potions?

[dawn helm]

why can i not see any abilities or the zone

[wheat nimbus]

Just bandages, magical healing affects potions

[sacred aspen]

that sounds rather bad

[wheat nimbus]

compare to combat stats, yes.
But considering potions get affected by buffs duration, I prefer bandages and physical healing over the other two.

I think physical healing may affect campfire too, but not sure on that one

[sacred aspen]

i guess im underwhelmed cause i play cleric solo

[wary rampart]

Why is Cleric just a better Fighter?

[lavish elk]

I believe phys healing works on campfires and secondwind and maybe the barb healing aswell.

[wheat nimbus]

is it though?
fighter defintely benefit more from gearing and straight up to the face fight as solo among other things

[small harbor]

dose any one know if + magical damage on a axe or sword dose anything for melee other then the crystal sword?

[wheat nimbus]

if your class do some kind of magical damage, yes. Like rogue passive poision perk

[sacred aspen]

second question: if i have "+2 additional magic damage" and my damage is only physical, will it add 2 magic damage or do nothing?

[lavish elk]

A bonk cleric can make for an excellent frontline, competeing with fighters, but they tend to be very slow, and rely heavily on consumables.

[small harbor]

yeah this is what i was asking but worded better haha

[wheat nimbus]

As far as I know, no.
Have todo somekind of magical damage to benefit from it. vice versa

[sacred aspen]

i didnt read as i typed, also cleric smite does add magiic damage as well as the things mentioned above

[lavish elk]

I don't believe extra magic damage does anything if you're not doing magic damage in the first place.

[dawn helm]

why can i not see any abilities or the zone

[small harbor]

yeah didnt think so thank you

[tawdry salmon]

best starter build for barb pls

[small bronze]

where can i find the playtest?

[sacred aspen]

i've heard felling axe is nutty on barb

[wheat nimbus]

You gonna have to be more WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more detailed then that.

But try launching the game in dx11

[small harbor]

go to store page and on the right hand side there is a demo button under your firends

[lavish elk]

Quaterstaff/horsemans if you want to zoom, felling if you want pure dps.

[small harbor]

im not a fan of the felling feels too short

[lavish elk]

Its very short but it attacks very fast and hits really hard.

[small harbor]

should give it another go then

[sacred aspen]

do bigger shields make it easier to block? ie heater vs buckler?

[glad night]

Anyone had any screen tearing issues and how did u fix it? My homie with a 9900k and 2070 super had screen tearing but I haven’t had issues with my 5700x and 3090

[small harbor]

yes with all shields you need to physicaly block the attack

[lavish elk]

Gives you more surface area, yeah, but its still a pain.

[wheat nimbus]

Pro tip for blocking with shields, make sure you cover upwards A LOT vs pve.

[fierce sage]

Even the Pavise often times gets you hit by things that it 100% visually stops

[sacred aspen]

ii dont plan to rely on my shield too much, i just like the morningstar too much to use a 2h waeapon

[tardy forge]

If you buy the stuff in the shop does it stay after new playtests?

[wheat nimbus]

no

[small bronze]

when the game full releases how much will it cost?

[lavish elk]

I like the, clonk.

[tardy forge]

So currency reset too?

[dawn helm]

why can i not see any abilities or the zone

[sacred aspen]

is there a generally accepted wisdom on heavy armor vs movement speed?

[lavish elk]

All or nothing in my experience. Either full plate or as little as possible if we're ignoring stats.

[small harbor]

yes it dose

[fierce sage]

Everything will reset

[lavish elk]

Plate got a real nice buff this test though, and actually feels good.

[wheat nimbus]

Personally am balanced, so full plate body/helm but leather boots (since it give the most MS) and glove (+1 str on riveted glove as base stat to good) and heavy leather pants

[tardy forge]

thank you

[fierce sage]

Heavy Armour is useful for players who find themselves unable to use movement to avoid attacks in PvP.

[sacred aspen]

hey that me

[amber ore]

Any info on how much the game will cost?

[wheat nimbus]

In the grandscheme of things, the extra AR from plate boots and gloves vs leather are negligible imo due to non linear scaling

[small harbor]

yeah always better to just go for lightfoot boots

[sacred aspen]

how impactful is physical power as a stat?

[wheat nimbus]

Gonna have to math that, but generally a decent amount the higher base dmg your weapon has

Personally I like basic attributes > secondaries

[wet prism]

what is physical interaction speed and magic interaction speed?

[cold heath]

can someone link me where magic and phys dmg is explained for stuff like magic missile

[small harbor]

physical is doors camp fires chests portals dont belive magic has any use yet as far as i know

[sacred aspen]

i'd wager shriines are magic but thats a guess

[small harbor]

nah they are physical

[misty canyon]

magic is when ur casting spells. Like the speed of which magic missiles shoot out i believe. (not the cast time)

[small harbor]

yeha ok so from first to last magic missile

[dawn helm]

why can i not see any abilities or the zone

[dawn helm]

oh sorry didnt see this. I cannot see the storm when it is moving or any abilities that are casted. or the fart zombies cloud

[pallid wadi]

What happens when the play test ends? does the full game come out is there another playtest? @small harbor

[small harbor]

every thing gets wiped

[small harbor]

we dont know as of yet this is the 4th playtet

[pallid wadi]

when the other playtests ended could you just not play the game for a while?

[knotty sun]

What do you do with ancient scrolls?

[small harbor]

yes that is correct @knotty sun sell to collector same as the cups you find

[abstract sinew]

Devs need to address the teaming in solo. im sick and tired of fighting 3 people in a solo queue, sort that shit out or get rid of the queue. its a waste of time

[wheat nimbus]

Yea, try launching the game in DX11.
Seems like your PC doesnt like particle effects for some reason

[lavish elk]

Set up duals man. The emotes are really useful for it. If they're teaming I've found people are more often then not cool with it.

[abstract sinew]

solo queues are hardly worth it. you end up facing teams either way. complete bs

i play this game to fight people, not make friends. its boring to just crouchspam and be nice to everyone you see.

[wheat nimbus]

Not a pure PvP game so yea, maybe you should try pirate vs viking vs knights or something similar where its pure pvp

[abstract sinew]

okay so to you, its perfectly reasonable for an unfair advantage to be gained in the pvp aspect?

[wheat nimbus]

I never said that, am not sure what thing you are on but I defintely never said that lol. Dont put words in other people mouths
I personally like to be friendly since I just want gold and fights in high rollers. Aint worth pvping in normal or solo dungeons

[abstract sinew]

then dont put words into mine? i didnt say the game was pure pvp. i said i play it for the pvp

[wheat nimbus]

I didnt say you said it was pure pvp, I said the game WASNT pure pvp hence the crouch spam and friendly people who just want gold

[abstract sinew]

if people dont want to pvp, thats fine. but when i get ganked by a cleric, ranger and rogue in solos, thats not fair

[wheat nimbus]

I get it if you madge over getting killed by people who team up but that just the nature of it with voip and all that
Get mad at them not me bruh

[royal crest]

Hey whats up im new here, was curious about playing the game but everytime i try to enter it it tells me theres been a connection issue and kicks me out, anybody got a fix?

[lavish elk]

Teaming has never been a punishable offence. The extent of the teaming in caves can be annoying, but if you grab the cutthroat emote people are less likely to gank you because you're not coming out of the shadows swinging.

[abstract sinew]

not even sure why you think im mad at you lol. maybe take things less personally. i am here to ask if the devs are planning to address the teaming in solo queue pvp at all?

[wheat nimbus]

I mean what can I say lol, and you wonder why

[royal crest]

.....i seem to have joined at a bad time lol

[granite spruce]

my game crashes every time when i try to open it

[abstract sinew]

i have been ganked numerous times in the past few days. not once did i get a chance to even interact. all of a sudden 3 people are attacking me while im trying to open a chest or loot a goblin

its not fair for teams to roll around solo queue and pvp. just get rid of the solo queue at that point. its a waste of time if you're willing to accept that people can team anyways

[wheat nimbus]

Have you tried starting the game in DX11 instead of DX12? people do say 11 is mroe stable for some people

[royal crest]

same here

[wheat nimbus]

with the option of having a solo queue where people may team up and no option of a solo queue, I prefer the former everyday.

can just avoid solo queue and go normal dungeon, but I mean then it just teams everywhere by default

[granite spruce]

it only happened when I turned up my brightness now I cant even open the game lmao its so stupid

[sacred aspen]

out of curiosity how do you propose you eliminate teams in solo queue?

[clever hare]

Hey guys, i was wondering if there was any benefit to dual wielding except having access to the move set of both weapons at once? I cant really tell

[royal crest]

it keeps telling me connection to server failed them kick me out

[abstract sinew]

clearly you and i have had different experiences in this regard. im glad you havent had the same issues i have. your opinion doesnt change my experience and the validity of it though. it is not fair in a game with pvp mechanics for people to team in a solo queue. its all fine if you just dont want to fight people. cool, no problem. if people dont want to fight me, i back off. but when im minding my own business and a team of 3 show up and are making callouts to eachother and fighting as a cohesive team, it makes me not want to play solo at all. because it isnt solo.

[distant flare]

is skeleton skin account wide?

[wheat nimbus]

I just dont mind getting ganked by multiple people cause I expect teaming up in solo queue, I just go in with the mindset there more soloes then teams vs normal dungeon

[abstract sinew]

no idea, im not a game dev. how do other games handle teaming? i came here asking the question, not providing a solution. id be happy to contribute if possible but i really dont know.

[sacred aspen]

they allow it

[fierce sage]

The difference is that the teams you find in solo are organic teams of mutual assistance, alliances where either could backstab the other at any time.

[wheat nimbus]

reinstalled the game? maybe deleing the game will delete the setting files and reset your game to default settings if the brightness was the problem

[abstract sinew]

that doesnt change anything regarding my experience. my point is that it is not fair the people like me who want true solo pvp

[fierce sage]

I honestly don't think it's a problem at all. I fight 2/3 man teams in Solo all the time, and I'm fine with it because I know that they're probably hella suspicious of each other and might fight to the death over portals at the end.

[sacred aspen]

other games either dont have communication tools with which to team, or its a "last man standing" type where you WILL have to betray each other at some point, its only a matter of when

[lost wadi]

do bosses regain hp if you leave room to reset their aggro?

[small harbor]

the troll boss dose unsure about the others

[wheat nimbus]

thats the thing though, I dont think dev want true solo pvp. since they even made the stupid troll lord to be expected to be teamed up against with other players

[abstract sinew]

that is the question i came here to get an answer to fromthe devs

[wheat nimbus]

Shit has insane hp pool (even after nerf) and reg hp, so its even more unfriendly to solo then before.
not to mention the addition of VOIP, with VOIP there can be no true solo. since alliance will always be made in VOIP games

[abstract sinew]

a boss isnt a good excuse for the rest of solo queues to be plauged by teaming pvp. thats not rational imo

[sacred aspen]

ngl i still have trouble with the skeleton champion even on cleric

[fierce sage]

This isn't really a forum for asking dev questions. Try #dev-qna-archives , this is more for players to help other players

[wheat nimbus]

perhaps so, but thats the vision from the dev so far

[sacred aspen]

he wasnt saying that the troll is WHY they arent punishing teamers, i think he was saying the troll is evidence they DO want people teaming

[wheat nimbus]

yes, that and VOIP

and yes you can solo, but it still unfriendly to solo vs being in teams with the addition of hp regen.

[small harbor]

you can solo the troll boss

[wanton stone]

is there a way to report greifers yet? or do i just keep noting their names down on a list to try and avoid them later

[dawn helm]

dx11 didnt help

[small harbor]

greifers in what way?

[sacred aspen]

"fame and karma" bottom right play menu

[wheat nimbus]

What kind of griefers, theres the karma report system (which you can punnish people if they TK you and you in the same team) theres also report ingame if it hackers by spectating and pressing R

[abstract sinew]

have they said this? or is it your speculation?

also pubg had voip. teaming was still punishable. claming prox chat implies an interest in teaming i believe is a spurious connection. Rust has prox chat and you still get punished for teaming on group limited servers.

[fierce sage]

If the current state of the Troll is the intended difficulty, the average player cannot solo the troll boss without exploits. His sprint swing animations are indistinguishable.

[wheat nimbus]

What kind of PC spec do you have? is it within the minimum qualifications?

[dawn helm]

way above minimum

[cold heath]

how does magic dmg scale my spells is it always 1 more dmg per knowledge

[small harbor]

knolage is cast speed and spell memory will is damage and magic resist if you hover over the stats in game on your chrater page it will show you

[merry surge]

What is the ideal perks and skills for Rogue?

[small harbor]

depends on your play style

[wheat nimbus]

Believe iRemember they said it with the troll boss in one of the interview cannot remember which one.
But it was a podcast interview with one of the dev and somekind of content creator

the amount of unpunished voip in pubg I saw back in my heyday vs people who did mayaswell be a statical error correction on the latter.

[merry surge]

I just wanna be able to escape dungeons man, I keep losing in pvp against players

[tropic steeple]

i saw someone running two characters in the same dungeon on different teams

[small harbor]

what do you mean?

[tropic steeple]

one was a solo the other was part of a 3 stack, they were playing together...I had to fight a 4v1 basically

[abstract sinew]

i never said it was unpunished in pubg. im offering counteraxmples to your claim that prox chat implies acceptance of teaming. i do not agree with your assertion. Just because prox chat exists in a game and that some content is too hard for the average solo to do, doesn;t mean people should be grouping as solos and hunting down the whole lobby

[fierce sage]

Until at least level 10 you want to run Rupture and Weakpoint Attack for abilities, and then Poisoned Weapon > Lockpick Expert for perks.

Once you get to level 10 and have enough perk slots, you can switch to Rupture and Hide for abilities, and Poisoned Weapon > Ambush > Stealth > Lockpick Expert for perks.

[cold heath]

i cant tell whats scaling

[distant flare]

are skeleton skins account wide???

[merry surge]

Alright thanks, I made it to level 15 with rogue only successfully escaping like twice

[wheat nimbus]

I mean the devs may not accept it, but the community for sure will (or parts of it) you give the people tools todo something and they will, be it illegal or not

[fierce sage]

Are you dying to PvE or PvP mostly?

[small harbor]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_YNh5ava9fOXLA9kzthtaK7yHTuKSlef/view
dnd hand book

[merry surge]

Both, but mainly PvP

[abstract sinew]

okay and yet we have circled back to my original question. is it the intention of the devs for solos to team for pvp content?

[sacred aspen]

its also worth noting that certain abilities (namely clerics light heal) can target non-allies

[fierce sage]

The ability to run the hell away is one of the rogue's biggest assets

[small harbor]

the game dose not determin team with enemy there is players and npcs

[fierce sage]

Obviously not, that's why it's called "Solos". But this does not mean their intention for solos to never team.

[sacred aspen]

@small harbor holy light can explicitly only target allies and undead

[abstract sinew]

okay, so should i be able to report people in solos for teaming up against me then

[small harbor]

when used on a player it heals them regardless of team

[fierce sage]

No, I don't think so.

[abstract sinew]

okay so obviously teaming is not allowed in solos, but theres no repercussions for breaking this obvious rule? idk man seems a little shaky

[idle nexus]

tbf, teaming in solo's is a risky endevour, you could eassily get backstabbed

[small harbor]

there is no rule for teaming in solos

[fierce sage]

When did anyone say teaming is not allowed in solos?

[light gazelle]

Dont even run lockpicking. Kill players for better loot

[sacred aspen]

teaming in solos isn't disallowed, its a thing you can do or not

[fierce sage]

Their whole point was that they are struggling to win fights

[abstract sinew]

i asked "is it the intention of the devs for solos to team for pvp content?" and you said obviously not....?

[sacred aspen]

the intention isnt that they do it, the intention is that they choose

[fierce sage]

Maybe if you read the whole message instead of sniping for a quote you would understand.

[distant flare]

are skeleton skins account wide?!?!?!?!?!?

[small harbor]

yes

[abstract sinew]

okay brox, well i apprecaite your attempt at helping but you're clearly just a jerk, so im not interested in talking to you about this anymore

[fierce sage]

"Obviously not, that's why it's called "Solos". But this does not mean their intention for solos to never team."

@distant flare Yes.

@abstract sinew Your inability to read doesn't make me a jerk for not having patience for your bad attitude.

[sacred aspen]

man gets an answer he doesnt like and throws a tantrumn

[small harbor]

you decide not to talk to someone because the disagree with your opinion?

[idle nexus]

ngl I Brosyphus gave excellent information, idk where your going off with Cooper

[small harbor]

haha # support @fierce sage

[warped maple]

that feel when you're in lobby longer than the game. #solorogue

[fair escarp]

So I have +3 Attributes on my spellbook, but when it is equipped, the stats do not change. Is it a bug?

[small harbor]

you need to be holding it for the stats to show

[abstract sinew]

that statement is clearly contradictory. you claimed they did not intend for solos to team, but its also okay. so what is the answer then? i ahve no problem with disagreements. i have made several concessions already. i am interested in having genuine discussion on this and when someone responds with "try reading" they are clearly not interested in having genuine discourse. therefore im no longer interested in discussing with them. you can all scream at me all you want but I came here asking genuine questions about the game. my point is valid regardless of your thoughts. i want to solo pvp and its not fair to fight a team of 3 in that instance. period. full stop. i asked about the intentions of devs regarding this topic.

[fair escarp]

So I need to hold it for the the stats to apply or are they already there?

[fierce sage]

The moral of the story is that currently teaming in solos does not receive punishment. I personally believe it shouldn't receive punishment, as there are many situations where teaming in solos contributes positively to the quality of the game, and wasting admin time banning people who do something incredibly common to the genre (making reflex alliances) is silly.

[sacred aspen]

ok heres the full nuance

are you ALLOWED to team:yes

are you INTENDED to team : no

will you get punished for it : no

[fierce sage]

Did not intend solos to team != Intended for solos to not team. Do you understand that or do you want me to break it down for you*?

[obtuse night]

how do i cast a spell

[small harbor]

needs to be inhand for stats to apply

[sacred aspen]

@obtuse nightselect spell to cast (hold skill button and move mouse) take out magic impliment (2 for clerics, 1 for wizard) right click

[fierce sage]

Take the Spell Memory ability in the Class section in the main menu, select the spells you want in the Spells tab, then hold a spell focus in-game (like a staff, a spellbook, a crystal ball, etc.) and hold your Spell Memory button to select the spell to cast. Then hold right click.

[obtuse night]

so if i have none of that i cant cast?

[sacred aspen]

correct

[fierce sage]

If you're talking about the Class section in the main menu, your character will not hold weapons. When you go in-game, if you hold it and unequip it you should see your stats change.

[tall tundra]

why cant i get past connect?

it just keep on connecting and nothing else

[ruby lark]

Was quarterstaff damage stealth nerfed this latest update ?

[abstract sinew]

that is literally the differentiation im trying to parse out. i came here asking questions and all ive received is anecdotes against my expereinces. its coool and all that people have fun being friendly and working together. go for it. i have no problem with that. my point is still valid though. as a solo who wants to ONLY PVP. it is not fair for me to have to fight groups. period. that is not fair. idc how you try to spin it from your own experiences. i want solo pvp and its not fair to get group pvp in a solo queue. now if thats what the devs intended, thats fine. i wont be playing solo anymore. im not here to have some silly argument with someone with such an attitude. thanks everyone for the positive input though.

[sacred aspen]

to use an analogy, i give you a golfball and a club and tell you to get the ball in a hole,thats the full instruction

i might INTEND for you to use the club to hit the ball, however, if you choose to, you can simply pick up the ball and drop it into the hole, it is a valid way of completiing the task and isnt against the rules

[floral fern]

Sell my 25 heart candy or buy a weapon and sell that?

[fierce sage]

Cry more

[warm needle]

Isn't goblin cave for solo?

[sacred aspen]

if you want a game that is pvp, strict pvp, and only pvp, dont play a pvevp game full stop

[small harbor]

solos was only added this playtest how is the being phased out?

[ebon loom]

Is vpn not allowed??

[tall tundra]

guys will it delete my progress if i delete the game and downlowd it again?

[small harbor]

i believe it is but some people have reported being banned falsely by using one as it auto banned for using 3rd party program @tall tundra no

[sacred aspen]

@warm needle he's getting mad people are teamiing up IN goblin caves

[fierce sage]

Nope.

[warm needle]

I get teamed a bunch in goblin caves but I mean it sucks but it's not uncommon in solo multiplayer games

[sacred aspen]

tell that to him

[abstract sinew]

my question here is if the devs intended for solos in that queue to team up and fight other solos

[sacred aspen]

it is allowed but not intended

[timid knot]

is dark and darker will close at 16 feb ?

[fierce sage]

Yes

[small harbor]

yes

[abstract sinew]

yall gotta find some better ways tos pend your time then to insult me for asking a genuine question?

[sacred aspen]

i do not believe i have insultyed you a single time, and if it has come across that i have im sorry for that

[timid knot]

when it will open again ?

[fierce sage]

Nobody knows

[warm needle]

Can anyone give me the spark notes on what the lingo for this game is i.e hell run

[small harbor]

red portals

[sullen umbra]

I think that means you aim to take the red portals and head to the third level of the castle(keep in mind, when you queue for the castle you actually start in the second level), the third level has very Diablo 1 hell vibes, pools of blood, etc.

[fierce sage]

Far, far too many terms to go over them all. A hell run is a match where you go through the red portals that take you a dangerous area with more loot

The #❓faq Has a lot of the item and stat related terms laid out at the bottom

[warm needle]

Thank you I've been playing mostly solo so haven't been exposed to people who know the game that well

[barren gust]

Can you que with a friend to practice 1v1 with them or will that run into some auto anti-teamkilling system?

[fierce sage]

As long as you don't report each other you should be good

[abstract sinew]

you responded to "I get teamed a bunch in goblin caves but I mean it sucks but it's not uncommon in solo multiplayer games" with the pinned message. is it fair to interpret this as "deal with it"? because thats what i interpreted it as. and responding to my question of "is this intended" with "suck it up" is a pretty rude way to respond to a question

[sullen cosmos]

does the darkness insta kill you when there are no blue portals left?

[ebon loom]

Yes because i cannot connect with it is infinite load and without it my internet connection is so bad unplayable

[fierce sage]

Bro nobody cares please move on. You're acting like a child

@sullen cosmos Yes

Or, not instantly per se as in once the last portal is taken you die, but the darkness will insta-kill once it covers the whole map

[warped maple]

on a scale from 0-10 how hard is the hell boss?

[abstract sinew]

not talking to you brox. thanks for your input though.

[sullen umbra]

That is very hard to gauge..
In a scale of 1 to 10, is 10 because it's the hardest boss in the game yet.

[limber rock]

so question, sometimes i hear the block sound but i still take damage.. is that a bug or do zombies and other pve mobs have some smash rating like a zerker so u still take damage or is it just clipping through the shield? as far as can tell it only really happens with the small buckler and starting round shields

[abstract sinew]

they probably hit around your shield. if you dont block an attack fully it can still hit a part of you

[sacred aspen]

he pinged me so i told him to tell you

i have literally not told you to "suck it up"

youre putting words into peoples mouths and arguing in bad faith

[abstract sinew]

i think you missed my question phantom

[ebon loom]

How i can connect to the game with vpn?

[warped maple]

is it soloable? has it been done?

[sacred aspen]

it appears i have

[whole dune]

11

[abstract sinew]

i literally asked you a question

[sacred aspen]

" is it fair to interpret this as "deal with it"? because thats what i interpreted it as. " no, no it is not

[ashen glacier]

Anything will be saved after alpha or all resets?

[limber rock]

@sullen umbra second tab ingame "High scores" then the second page of what pops up is a list of how many times (I think its the bosses) have been killed or at least the "most times killed by"

[abstract sinew]

thanks for answering 🙂 im not here to argue. i just want to enjoy this game because its awesome.

[small harbor]

all playtests have been

[wanton stone]

someone intentionally reset the cave troll boss i was doing which was on very low hp, not sure if he was trying to kill me and take the loot with the boss if he was able to kill it? either way, he snuck up on me, missed a few attacks, then ran to the corner and reset the boss's hp resulting in me dying and him escaping through a portal. not sure if this is considered fair play but I can see that would be very annoying to players who have to experience that.

[worthy gorge]

when the game is fully released is it planned to have "wipes" where player inventories reset every so often?

[small harbor]

i dont believe the boss hp resets it dose regen

[small harbor]

dont think its confirmed but it will most likely reset every so often

[warped maple]

can pickpocket steal equipped items or just from inventory?

[limber rock]

@wanton stone seems rough,.. maybe they gotta take a look at aggroing back to anybody in the room before reseting

[small harbor]

jsut from back pack

[wanton stone]

even so, the boss would charge the griefer in the corner, and then run back to the middle over and over, at this point he ruined the rotation of the boss kill, and theres no more time left in the dungeon to continue. I dont see this as fair play. it would be fair play if he attacked me and killed me,followed by killing the boss, but his intentions said otherwise...

[small harbor]

i dont think this is any cause for report any one is free to enter the boss room

[whole dune]

You should throw out any idea of “fair play”

[dawn helm]

what do the red portals do

[limber rock]

how was it aggroing him though if he was in the corner and you were fighting it? usually works on range doesnt it?

[fierce sage]

If he isn't damaging the troll shouldn't aggro him.

[small harbor]

when i have played rouge i have aggroed alot of monsters and then stealthed to get a geared player killed i dont think thats fair play but it is till part of the game

[warped maple]

[wanton stone]

so trolling is allowed in dark and darker? sounds like fun from that prespective! 🤓 thanks for the input guys

[limber rock]

@small harbor using monsters to ur adv is def fair game lol

[ebon loom]

Why are u replying us like u are a warden or something in alt acc? And why devs havent say shet about the connection issue @small harbor

[small harbor]

they take you to lvl 3 in the dungeon currently we spawn into lvl 2 of the dungeon

[small harbor]

nah im chilling and just helping out 🙂

[warped maple]

he's being helpful

[ebon loom]

Na no one spends all day answering u are alt warden or something but dont want compromise with comunnity

[small harbor]

100%

[idle edge]

where can i get help pricing an item

[ebon loom]

Yea and seems devs dont care the mess they do with the last update and half comunnity cant connect to the game so they are answering in alt acc like is so patethic

[sacred aspen]

i spend a long time answering questions in warframe when i dont get anythiing to do it, sometimes helping people and teaching can be fun

[wanton stone]

chill homie this game is great! ❤️ the devs

[small harbor]

yes i am 100% a warden on an alt account.........

[ebon loom]

Yea great game but is shit when u cannot play due falsely bans, issue with connections and a lot of crashs

[small harbor]

its a play test its to test the game there will be issues with the banning system and the game

[ebon loom]

And no one of devs have the decency to even announce they are working in the issue

[warped maple]

how do people even get falsely banned

[small harbor]

if you look in the #📢announcements you can see that the devs talk to us a hell of alot more then any other game i have played

[small harbor]

some 3rd party programs can interract with the game that looks like cheats that are not cheating to an automatic banning system

[ebon loom]

Not about this subject that is like 2 days happening

[small harbor]

i havent had any connections issuses but we could be playing on diffrent severs

[ebon loom]

O yea ofc u dont have it u dont care but a dev should care and talk about it seems like they dont want to accept they having issues with the last patch

[sacred aspen]

jesus christ the mans tryna be nice

[small harbor]

agin it is a play test there will be issues if you want to play a game with out issues maybe wait till the game is fully released?

[ebon nova]

Stuck on connecting any fix?

[restive orbit]

I have restarted my computer, reinstalled the game, updated drivers, changed my NAT settings. no VPN, and I still can't get past the initial connection screen.

[wanton stone]

its a playtest/demo not a full game, you are expecting alot out of this. seems like you like the game alot and also harshly judge it. if you want a good game to succeed, you give them time. not spam all the issues as fast as possible 🙂

[restive orbit]

Nope @ebon nova no one knows what the issue is and Devs wont respond about it

[ebon loom]

I know it would have issues but also they need to have the decency to let us know and not hiding it and let players waste their time trying to fix by their own

[median horizon]

Are dev's looking for QA frelance testers?

[restive orbit]

Just submit a bug report and cry in the corner like I've been doing all day lol

[small harbor]

the play test was ment to end on monday but has been exstend you should not of been able to play the game at all at the moment

[ebon loom]

Not single announce of this issues and already have been 2 days with it im done with the game. But thx with ur help

[small harbor]

sorry to hear that but im glad you could of played the game during the play test ❤️

[ebon loom]

They falsely ban before thats why the extended and now this issue only could play 1 day

[wanton stone]

''decency to let us know and not hiding it'' uh I dont think they owe anyone an explanation its a playtest xD if it was a game yea you deserve a mandatory explanation as a player/fan of the ''GAME''. but its not so they are allowed to not say anything if they dont want to get it? 🙂

[small harbor]

agin its a play test there will be issues

[ebon loom]

Lol dude its a game for community why would they put a demo if they dont give a fuck our opinions and problems?

[warped maple]

expecting no issues during a playtest is rather optimistic.

[tawny mist]

The same exact thing is happening to me right now.

[wanton stone]

a game is a product you purchase which entitles u to updates on the game, not a playtest i think you are confused on that bit. sorry you got banned though! 🙂

[restive orbit]

Yeup and because it's a "playtest" we are supposed to just sit here and hope the devs acknowledge it

[ebon loom]

I dont say im not expect issues but at least they explain what is happening and not letting the users who are experience this problem let them by theirself wasting time figure out what is wrong

[vestal loom]

Is the game 4 player

[small harbor]

they have already fixed alot of issues during the play test already the game is not even in early access its pre early access
@vestal loom 3 max party size

[tawny mist]

I just played a couple of days ago and now it gets stuck on "connecting"\

[small harbor]

a few people have had issues with this today

[restive orbit]

Yeup a large amount of players are experiencing it but there has been no acklowedgement or sign its being worked on

[tawny mist]

I came here wondering if other people were experiencing it.

[vestal loom]

When does the game close

[small harbor]

it was ment to close on Monday has been extended till Thursday

[vestal loom]

Dam bruh I just found out about the game and it's closing in couple days

[small harbor]

this is currently the 4th play test 🙂

[sacred aspen]

clerics and fighters are the only shieldy boys, rightg?

[small harbor]

rangers can also use a pavise

[sacred aspen]

wow ive never seen one use one

[vestal loom]

Do you know when the game fully comes out

[ebon loom]

Yes i have found a lot player who are experience that issue but no one cares and the major comunnity are dicry all thess users who are experience problems plus the devs are not answering for 2 days. Great game

[small harbor]

unsure early accsess might be this year the down time between play tests have been 2-3 months currently

[vestal loom]

Oh alr ty

[small harbor]

agin its a play test there will be issues

[wanton stone]

great ''playtest'' not a game yet 🙂

[ebon loom]

Doesnt justify the lack of comunication with this issue by the devs

[small harbor]

keep upto date at #📢announcements they will post something there

[sacred aspen]

people are so angry today

[ebon loom]

Seems like they want to hide under the rug and pretend it doesnt happening

[restive orbit]

Honestly just block Folkbear and claudokun they add nothing to the conversation and don't listen

[tacit yew]

the time when dark and darker server is close ??

[ebon loom]

Yes i have been waiting 2 days and playtest is over tomorrow lol nice devs

[small harbor]

its a play test there will be issues
i think you should read this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playtest

there is currently and issues no fix as of yet

[tacit yew]

??? the time when dark and darker server is close ??

[warped maple]

sry I only respond for 30

[wanton stone]

think youre ignorancy is clouding your judgment because playtest and games are different. if you cant login a playtest cause of network issues or w/e too bad its a playtest? dont expect it to run like a full game 🙂 you know a full game that fixes issues like that asap and also publicly addresses it. so yes by definition they can not care about you or the population that cant play rn cause its a PLAYTEST 🙂

[small harbor]

the current play test was meant to end on Monday has been exsted till Thursday

[ebon loom]

No justify lack of comunication about the devs for 2 days and letting ppl waste their time trying to figure out by their own and arguing with stupid ppl in discord who think that everything is good and nice

[warped maple]

that'll be 130

[small harbor]

agin it is a play test there will be issues

[restive orbit]

I don't expect it to run like a full game I expect Dev communication with it's community when a large portion of its playerbase is experiencing a game breaking bug, Stop using playtest as an excuse

[jovial ruin]

How does one fix the Connecting Issue when logging into Dark and Darker?

[ebon loom]

Also btw they remove the ticket system to polarize more the comunnity with this subject GREAT DEVS HURRA

[wanton stone]

its a playtest they dont need to tell you anything if they want to. if it was a game that sold THEN they have to address it and fix it. youre almost getting it 🙂

[small harbor]

the playtest was ment to end on Monday it was extended till Thursday we all should not be able to play it currently

[tawny mist]

Several of us are experiencing it. There is no fix.

[summer wyvern]

Do weapons that give +1 All attributes not show this on our stats page or am I looking at a bugged item? Not seeing my stats go up by 1 when I equip this battle axe with this mod on it

[restive orbit]

the whole point of a playtest is to find bugs and fix them. If you ignore the community that is finding the bugs then that destroys the purpose

[ebon loom]

Thats why im complaining seems like devs dont care and are pretending everything is nice and good

[jovial ruin]

Damn. for how long?

[small harbor]

they only apply when they are in your hand

[restive orbit]

Since the hotfix

[ebon loom]

Im experincing this for 2 days now and no reply they even close the ticket system /modmail is not responding about this ..

[calm mirage]

Well im glad we can keep playing as long as we can, this is a fantastic game and loads of fun. Hope there is a solo team game mode in the future, just pve for that really cool dnd like feel, even if it has to be a seprate character, server, or less loot. Dungons are still hard on new characters and players after all.

[small harbor]

the current dungeon you spawn into is lvl 2 there will be an easier lvl before it in the full game

[sacred aspen]

is there any benefit to staff over book for casting on cleric?

[calm mirage]

heck yea, lets get this spread out there!

[small harbor]

no books are better because of base spell damage

[sacred aspen]

does spell damage matter on buff spells and heals?
