Skulls, mummies, zombies, skellies

You can check the fan dark and darker wiki https://darkanddarker.wiki.spellsandguns.com/Monsters

[small dirge]

"Newsflash" I still didn't say what you said LOL, i made a general statement about the developers within the early access space, i didn't say ironmace is going out of their way to screw some of their players or conspire to, My point is they shouldn't be having this issue in the first place, is nerfing and buffing, getting rid of gold exploits, truly more important than making your game actually start? Am i really the bad guy for wanting to get past the launcher screen by default, without having to do a workaround? Even if it's a minority of the playerbase, is that not a literal huge game breaking issue that should be fixed especially if the games been out for weeks? I'm crazy? Anyways... I spent 50 bucks just like most of you spent 35 or 50 bucks, So i'm gonna try out the VPN if thats what we gotta do. i'm LITERALLY just a regular guy, with a job. And not all the time in the world, Just like you guys, and people have every right to be pissed

[eager pawn]

they said that is will take time to issue the shards refund and that they will announce an official update when that happens.

[void bramble]

How many people per match? Are there three man blue portals in ruins/crypt?

[vast prairie]

You nailed it

[analog ocean]

It does not. Cast speed I believe does

[verbal geyser]

The number of players vary by map, in the ruins there is a three man exit portal and in the crypts there are 3 man down portals

[desert trail]

I pm’ed if you need any help I gotchu homie

[verbal geyser]

You cant get a 3 man exit portal in the crypts anymore and there arent down portals in the ruins

[primal axle]

Tbf, I don't need a vpn to get in. I just spam the play button and after 10 tries or so it lets me in. Try that if you don't want to download a vpn

[analog ocean]

The not undead ones. Check the DaD wiki monster page.

[sleek lantern]

@subtle anvil action speed determines attack speed, casting speed determines music playing speed.

[primal axle]

Though I did delete citrix because some people said that was messing with it

[analog ocean]

Yes, I know. I'm answering someone else's question.

[cursive sparrow]

is elf race good for rangers? trying to figure our how much +1 agility will help, does it effect draw speed at all?

[latent basin]

Don't forget the bats. Some clerics forget about them.

[analog ocean]

Hi, consider checking the DaD wiki Stat page. It's very detailed on what stats Effect and how much.

If Draw speed were to be affected by anything it'd be action speed. Consider asking the ranger chat for confirmation

[cursive sparrow]

gotcha thanks dude

[acoustic cedar]

time for HIDE reduced significantly? :/

[verbal geyser]

I dont think so
Wizard's invisibility spell was reduced to 5 from 7

[distant holly]

If you bougt the $50 version, how do you get your blue torch?

[willow temple]

Why do some people have blueish or reddish names?

[desert trail]

Just go to skins right click equip. You have to do it for each character

[desert trail]

Blue means they’ve been upvoted and are in good standing red means they’ve been downvoted and are in the bad karma standing. Like if you play with someone and they kill you, you can downvote them

[snow sigil]

hello, sorry if this is somewhere but I didn't find it in discord faq channel. If I buy the 35$ version of the game will I be able to upgrade to Founder's Edition: Hold the Line later with paying the difference in money or I have to buy a new version of the game paying 50$?

[faint sage]

I'm sorry, a question. I never bought the bard from the shop and I unlocked with the red shards the warlock days ago. I bought the hold the line edition and spent the red shards on the warlock then, but somehow now the bard is unlocked too for me. Does it mean that they unlocked warlock and bard for free to that edition? And if that is so, what happens with the red shards that were used to buy the warlock then?

[meager onyx]

Did they increase the cooldown on merchants restock?

[desert trail]

You can upgrade for 15 dollars later

[desert trail]

You will be refunded them in a future update.

[faint sage]

I just saw the announcement message, thanks <3

[desert trail]

Yw!

[woeful thicket]

DO is there any shortcut button to put every goild to valiable purse?>???

[desert trail]

Shift click

[shut valley]

For the previous playtest i remember there was a PDF with what does every stats does ( like strenght gives hp/physical/power/etc) does anyone have it ? It had the damage calculations on it also ?

[desert trail]

It’s on a wiki now I believe

[shut valley]

Yes but for the wiki you have to open 10 pages to get everything while the pdf had everything on the same page 😅

[timid rapids]

does anybody know if they will add a training ground or something ?

[glacial quarry]

Why is the maximum count of characters on 7? There are 8 different classes. And i want one of them each

[tribal hawk]

When druid will be?

[spark oar]

Anyone else have NOTHING happen when they click the Login button?

[candid wigeon]

where's a space to post suggestions/critics to the devs ?

[spark oar]

nessuno, on their website there is one.

[candid wigeon]

thanks

[hoary wing]

Yes i become crazy and can't even ask for a refund, i feel like the devs are shitting on the players

[gleaming laurel]

Why am I randomly being disconnected mid raid?

[burnt badger]

yeah I'm going on 15 hours without any help. launcher boots but then decides it wants to close for no reason without listing any errors.

in fact I had to reformat my entire PC to get rid of potential "corrupted files" and that still hasn't fixed it, go figure

[hybrid terrace]

bro why can one of bards abilities do damage through the floor, shits busted

[arctic mist]

Are there any talks of introducing a quest/task system? Right now just leveling and getting better is nice but striving for a goal is cool too

[cyan skiff]

Will there be wipes where all character levels and stashes will be reset?

[safe bison]

Yes

[lapis wharf]

So we gonna have 5 blue shards back i mean the people who bought the class and then it goes free ?

[gleaming schooner]

this?

[latent flume]

you guys dont think a rogue one tapping people with 80% extra dmg from perks is not broken ? yet nerf the bard to the absolute ground. you cant even skip one note anymore half of the time.. my only question is why

[delicate kite]

im a somewhat new player to trading and i dont know the value of various items is there a good baseline to go off in terms of what rairty items are worth?

[latent flume]

do you see a bard anywhere near #1 on any leaderboards but they're own? lol this is a joke

[tough blaze]

Guys how does buff duration stat works?
like if i'm bard and i have 10% buff duration bonus and my ally have 0% buff duration bonus, does my ally have to 10% mine buff duration bonus?

[crystal ember]

Use the filters on the top of the trade chat and look up the items with the properties your items have to see what people are selling it for. It also helps to google what are the important stat bonuses are for which class. Like an Arming sword that gives a bonus to magical healing will be of no interest to fighters, but a bard might want it.

[delicate kite]

im more looking for a rough price estimate for a God roll green item might be 100g or a bad green item would be 20G

[flat estuary]

hey pls someon can help me i have a black screen problem i literally open the game and it stay in a black screen i literaly cant even play the game

[crystal ember]

Check the filters, but you can start at a high price and gradually reduce til someone buys it. My rule of thumb is that god rolls can sell for 150+ and you can push the price by the rarity level. Never sell god rolls for less than 100.

[flat estuary]

hey how i can repari the black screen problem

[crystal ember]

In my opinion items with bad rolls will rarely sell even if you lower the price, and selling the item at 20 is no better than vendoring it but you have to put in way more work to get rid of it. If its an item your class can use, just keep it so you can have disposable greens to use on raids.

[grizzled tangle]

why wont my game update?

[crystal ember]

I think you're better off reporting it. #report-a-bug message

[crystal ember]

Close Blacksmith and restart seems to work for me.

[grizzled tangle]

ok

[gleaming laurel]

Does Blow of Corruption count as dark magic when it comes to the warlock passives?

[tropic hull]

If a bard is using the flute song that opens chests and the perk that gives the bard more luck, does his luck perk apply to the chests as soon as he flutes them or does he need to open the loot table from his pov to use it?

[analog crystal]

I am hearing that the court dismissed the case from Nexon! Is this true?

[trail sable]

I tried to create a character named "RustySpoon" it tells me that name is "not appropriate". It was just a reference to salad fingers, is that an offensive name ?

[rain hearth]

maybe its because of "poo" i find the language check on names to be rather simple implemented

[fading cypress]

When the game comes out on steam will I be able to transfer it from chaf games to steam or am I stuck with chaf games forever

[flint depot]

or poon lol

[rain hearth]

are cosmetics bought available to all my characters? e.g. race and item skins

[trail sable]

I see lol, it's not an english expression I wasn't aware of then, ty

[tropic hull]

yes, go into customize, and right click on the race to equip it

[dense gorge]

Anyone get DaD to work on handheld? I have rog ally

[junior solstice]

Did they remove the Treasure Hoard in Inferno 2 ?

[acoustic prairie]

Anyone can explain why it takes AGES to download/update the game? my internet is not an issue

[rain hearth]

i solved that with restarting the blacksmith launcher

[analog ocean]

AFAIK the devs have stated they want to do that, but it's not something they have prepared right now.

[daring mortar]

is there a channel for trading? trade advice? i dont know how to price any of this crap lol

[sharp coyote]

I have tried nearly everything, including closing blacksmith in system tray, nothing is working. I just get the icon saying blacksmith then nothing pops up on screen or in task manager

[trail sable]

Ok I think they really do take syllables out of words when checking name. They probably do a regexp checking, because totally safe names but containing certain syllables are considered "inappropriate"

[analog ocean]

It looks like the USA case was dismissed today.

There is still the legal battle in Korea, but this is good. I believe the U.S court case is what stopped them from using steam.

[torpid ridge]

when halo infinite came out I could not type "hog" in chat.... but you know, the main vehicle is a warthog. Random related tangent.

[trail sable]

Oof, I have 3000h in Halo so I can feel for you lol

[analog crystal]

thank you @analog ocean

[torpid ridge]

At least they fixed it!

[formal seal]

what do you do with a captured mana flask

[last rose]

case dismissed ??

[analog ocean]

If an item has an attractive stat on it you can sell it for more.

Green is typically 50-100g maybe more if the stat is really desirable.

Just look at the trade chat and look at what people charge for greens blues etc.

For example, Warlocks will buy gear with bonuses to magical healing. It's like Crack to them.

[pearl bronze]

any tips for a beginner?

[daring mortar]

thanks, im not good at knowing what good stats are lol

[analog ocean]

Learn how to not take damage from mobs. Probably the first thing you should focus on.

[pearl bronze]

okay thanks

[random sinew]

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[daring mortar]

get used to poking and juking lol

[pearl bronze]

got it

[analog ocean]

Fighters want gear with physical damage reduction right now.

Warlocks want magic healing.

Bards want magic damage or physical damage armor.

Rogues like movement speed and damage.

Certain classes want certain stats.

• all attributes is generally a solid enchantment

You can do some research in the class channels to learn more.

[analog ocean]

https://youtu.be/jJEefJwBPZ4

This video is a good place to start

[keen kayak]

Guys how does buff duration stat works?
like if i'm bard and i have 10% buff duration bonus and my ally have 0% buff duration bonus, does my ally have to 10% mine buff duration bonus?

[daring mortar]

and if it doesnt have worthwhile stats, just dump it to the merchants?

[analog ocean]

Buff duration only applies to you. It does not apply to buffs you give to others.

@daring mortar
You could do that, but you won't make much. A solid trade strategy is to bundle lesser desirable items together. Like here's 3 green items for 100g.

[daring mortar]

ive been trying that but very little success selling stuff lol i bundle all my class stuff together and put a cheapish price and no bites

[potent lotus]

hey im new to the game (lvl 10) and am really struggling to get the ball rolling in goblin caves, what should i do?

[timid rapids]

anyone knows if they will increase stashes soon ? they so smoll

[analog ocean]

Learn how to avoid damage from pve mobs first

Second, learn where player spawns are so you can play aggressively or defensively based on how close other people start to you

Third learn where the secret exit is. Its always available for one person to use every game.

[potent lotus]

how does the secret exit work? I've found it but cant figure out how it opens

[analog ocean]

The iron gate will open during the final circle.

[potent lotus]

k thanks!

[analog ocean]

AFAIK I've heard more containers will be added but there's no official word.

@daring mortar sucks man but that's how it goes sometimes. I personally like bundles

[thorn dagger]

According to IM they had containers on standby but didn't implement them yet since they wanted to see how the eco would go

[grave nymph]

[timid rivet]

Has anyone tried melee attacking projectile Drums out of the air, and know the resulting interaction if there is one? I assume there is none, but am curious.

[fierce crow]

Is there no option for vsync? I am getting screen tearing

[drowsy portal]

Hi guys, can you block the lich king boss on shot bolt with a pavise?
Can you plant a pavise in the boss room? Because I tried it and I guess not but Im not sure

[thorn dagger]

no but you can maybe force it via Nvidia control panel and the like I did that and it fixed a lot for me

[fierce crow]

I have Amd card

[analog ocean]

Idk for sure but I've never seen nor heard of that interaction happening.

I don't believe it happens

[thorn dagger]

[haughty ibex]

How do you get your line holder status on discord?

[real merlin]

Does anyone know what the "Increased the baseline score for the Good rating when a bard completes a performance" is in the most recent hotifx?

[glad plank]

they have to hit notes when theyre playing, it used to be too easy to get the full bonus from songs even when missing over half the notes, now you actually gotta play the class lol

my game isn't updating any help

[spark oar]

Soooo noone else is having trouble launching the game?

[timid rapids]

do you guys thinks warlock needs a nerf ?

[spark oar]

wouldnt know I cannot get past the Login button.

[torn loom]

HOLY DOWNLOAD SPEED YALL MAKE THE TARKOV SERVERS LOOK FAST 💩

[spark oar]

Well if I cannot start the game im gonna ask for a refund. This Discord has been zero help.

[timid rapids]

i had to get a vpn in the first few days idk if it could help you out but idk anything else about that sorry on my side its been fine for the past few days

[empty frost]

if I find a sword with +1 magic damage, does that sword gain a point of M damage on swing or does it just affect OTHER things that do magic damage? Does it apply those buffs when its on my back, or only in hand?

[dim wigeon]

I need some help, when I run the game my GPU usage goes through the roof and my PC just randomly crashes and reboots when playing the game, it happens every 30 minutes or so and it's impossible to play. This is weird specially since it doesnt happen with any other high end games and I can run everything flawlessly

[empty frost]

I believe its just your SARWKL

[timid rapids]

get a program to control your fan for your gpu. look up the program you need for your card ie i had to get gpu tweak for my card. its probably just your computer rebooting from overheating

[errant swan]

i just got ProtonVPN to download this but it doesn't seem to be any better

[dim wigeon]

no it aint, it's the game, apparently chafgames version of the game just keeps crashing, ive seen a lot of people complain about it on discord. The launcher version from darkanddarker website also crashes for me

[nova laurel]

anyone got a fix for dropping fps ? mainly in howling crypts (middle of the map)

[nova laurel]

got a 4090 and 1gb internet lul

i already have those, what I like the least here is how there's clearly a lot of people complaining about the game crashing and some people just being condescending

[cyan skiff]

What is the reason why I can't place my bolts, torches etc in my stash?
Seems kinda odd. I really want to place my bolts etc in my stash. 😐

[muted linden]

Are we limited in the number of characters we can create. Now that bard and warlock are free I would liked to create one however It tells me "You cannot create any more characters" I have one of each with no doubles. Are we intentionally limited from playing all the classes or is this a bug?

[empty frost]

If you don't have any experience with player markets then it can be frustrating your first time.
Once you know what stats/gear players want to buy, youll start seeing more results. Keep at it man, player trading is fun because it adds value to loot you might not normally care about.

[north quarry]

I don't know if this has been addressed officially, but I imagine it's just a UI question to enable something like a scrolling bar. But maybe they also want to limit character creation to 7. As it is now, you can't create all classes on one account unfortunately

[rich bolt]

is my cpu meant to be at around 15 percent utilization cuase im stuttering and lagging alot?

[cyan skiff]

CPU must be utilized, that's the whole point. 15% is nothing at all, it's basically bored.

[spark oar]

Does anyone know why I cannot get past the Blscksmith Login screen?

[ornate wasp]

homie I dmed you look at your dms

Hey homie I saw you were having trouble with the launcher. If you use a vpn itll work. I had the same problem and the only thing that worked was using a vpn. you can use a free one like Proton vpn and connect to the netherlands and it loads just fine. You can turn off the vpn as soon as the game is done loading up too. Just have to have it on to load the launcher and game initially. The game still wont load for me without using a vpn so other than using one I really don't know what else would work. I've talked to a couple of other people and some don't need one and other do.

[hybrid tapir]

does "playing great music" mean the best song you can play?

[visual anchor]

we allowed to have two games open?

[cyan skiff]

What is the reason why I can't place my bolts, torches etc in my stash?
Seems kinda odd. I really want to place my bolts etc in my stash. 😐

[ornate wasp]

might be because torches are given to you for free. Like you can't put the armor that you get when you respawn in your stash either. I don't know if you get bolts when you respawn if you do that is probably why. If not then no clue

[sick sorrel]

Potions are magical or physical healing?

[bright reef]

If you unlock type A in the cosmetics for a race (like the orc), do you also unlock type B for the race? seems pointless to make people pay separate shards for both versions

[ornate wasp]

probably only the one that you got. Haven't tested it but doens't make sense for them to give you both when they are separate ya know.

[bright reef]

I mean, by that logic, wouldn't the female version of the human race need to be unlocked as well? Why not make the race a package

[ornate wasp]

I have no clue. You gonna test it out?

[bright reef]

Yeah, once I get my shard refunds I'll prolly test it, I do think they should generally give both types for a race, since it just kinda makes more sense if you buy a race to get both sides of the coin

[ornate wasp]

yeah definitely it is weird you would have to buy both.

[warm flax]

Have we gotten a reason as to why they need us to suffer with one stash tab?

[crystal rampart]

launcher stuck in maintenance anyone know a fix ?

[ornate wasp]

use a vpn. Proton vpn is free. Download it and connect to the Netherlands. you don't need to have it turn on once the game loads up but if you click into the main menu it might kick you out if you turn it off then. Turn off the vpn when the game first loads just don't click the continue botton. Were you able to play the game at all or is this the first time that you have downloaded the launcher?

[mellow bane]

is the character name whats shown in game to other players? or your acc's username

[ornate wasp]

want to say character name

[mellow bane]

so then if you make multiple characters (other classes) each one can have a separate name ?

[ornate wasp]

yes each will have a separate name

[mellow bane]

can you change them? the char names

right now I want to say no. I haven't looked into it though

Fighter/Cleric are generally suggested for new players. Yes, you can have 7 characters on your account right now. Just look on the bottom (right?) of the screen when you see your character and make another one (:

[bright reef]

Wouldn't it just be better to buy the base and upgrade to founders edition than just buying founder's edition outright? If you buy base edition, you get 5 bluestone shards, if you upgrade to founder's edition, they then give you 5 Redstone shards. So, you basically get a $10 value of shards for upgrading

Has this happened to anyone else?

[terse portal]

bear traps are bullshit

[flat estuary]

where i can have the ip server

[night mason]

Do you know if betraying is allow or not ?

[flat estuary]

its not allow

[terse portal]

nuh uh

[night mason]

thx

[flat estuary]

you know where i can found the ip server for the suport messages?

[last rose]

You get the same amount of bluestone shards either way. You dont get Redstone shards 'for free'.

[tender cloud]

why whenever i try to open dnd it says "the following component(s) are required to run this program: DirectX Runtime"

[viscid stone]

Does the cave troll regen hp if it de agros?

[valid tiger]

Is there a Wipe on the game

[frank surge]

Anybody have the bug where opening opened chests closes them instead?

[torpid lagoon]

If any boss resets, they gain all their health back. Also I believe the cave troll still has passive regen unless they've changed it

[hollow pebble]

I recall that people who had this issue apparently fixed it by making sure their Special Interact keybind was different from their normal interact keybind. So check those binds.

[frank surge]

i tried rebinding special interact but it literally can't change

[gleaming grotto]

That bug happens if your interact button is on any button other than default. I’ve heard people had success if they have their desired keybind set as the secondary keybind and leaving the first one as F? Haven’t confirmed but try

[bright reef]

Does IronMace plan on adding subscription based pricing for Dark & Darker? They set out legal terms in their sale policies (specifically section 4.2 - 4.4, 6.6) which hints at subscription based purchases
Also, doesn't section 7.5 allow for some abuse of in-game purchases? Unless maintenance or hotfixes don't count as a suspension of the game. It's stated in section 7.4 that the suspension must be ongoing for 30+ days, but not for 7.5

[tardy sapphire]

Has the bug that required a VPN to fix been patched yet?

[ornate wasp]

I still have to use one. launcher won't load without one for me still

[tardy sapphire]

Ok, ty!

[last rose]

Bro, the majority of people wont pay monthly for a game. I think world of warcraft is an exception, but still many people I know dont approve of that system and cancel that game. DnD might be super hyped right now but Ironmace still needs to have their players satisfied. They won't be jerks to their customers just chill and enjoy the game

[bright reef]

I mean, subscription based pricing not just for accessing the game, but for in-game content. They might go down the same route as others and do a battle-pass system, and make it subscription based

[last rose]

yeah thats fine, if its cosmetics only or test access to future dungeons just like the special edition. No need to worry. You can buy cosmetics or dont do it

[gleaming grotto]

Lots of Eula’s include sections not practically utilized, any good legal contract will have a billion sections for covering things they may decide to do in the future, so while you aren’t necessarily wrong it also doesn’t necessarily mean it will happen

[last rose]

Exactly

[civic magnet]

What gear enchantments affect Din of Darkness's damage?

[magic cedar]

Does anyone have a solution to the launcher being super broken, and needing a vpn to play?

[minor stump]

did the inferno wrait loot pile get removed

[magic cedar]

yes

[visual jungle]

Does 100 fee high roll have greater loot than 50 fee?

[minor stump]

thanks

[mystic anchor]

do you get your nickname back if you delete your character?

[ruby meteor]

are they gonna make it so i can have 8 characters. i dont want to delete a leveled character to play bard

[empty wharf]

Watching some yt vids n when the person opens a chest everything automatically goes into their inventory. Is that a class/perk thing?

what do the rusty broken swords do and why are people selling them for so much?

[magic cedar]

as long as no takes it

[native plume]

any updates on the lawsuits?

[hollow pebble]

Dismissed in the US. They are optimistic about the upcoming injunction ruling in Korea.

[thin stag]

Wait where did it say that it was dismissed in the US

[hollow pebble]

https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/67193019/57/nexon-korea-corporation-v-ironmace-co-ltd/ "The Court GRANTS Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss on Grounds of Forum Non
Conveniens (Dkt. No. 29)"

[limpid dome]

okay good now release on steam so the launcher can be better.

[analog mantle]

Hey guys I’m installing dark n darker for the first time but it keeps saying DungeonCrawler.exe (code: 403)

[native plume]

thanks for the update

[crystal ember]

Exit and relaunch. The download progress won't be interrupted and whatever file the launcher was having trouble with might work now. Just keep doing that until you finish.

[visual jungle]

does the game have refund till 30 days right?

[analog mantle]

It keeps saying 0% when I do it

[limpid dome]

what free vpn are people using here?

[crystal ember]

Hmm, are you trying to download from a public wifi? I tried to download it in a library and I think the ISP might be blocking it. It worked when I got home.

[analog mantle]

No I’m downloading it at home I legit have 0 idea why this is happening

[limpid dome]

man the support in this server is so ass

[barren loom]

anyone know how to fix launcher instant crash bug?

[flat wave]

How can the cleric recharge his abilities? Is meditation available?

[barren loom]

anyone know how to fix launcher instant crash bug?

[crystal ember]

Hmm, try launching Blacksmith as the Administrator or making an exception for it in your firewall. Something is blocking it from downloading. It might be your antivirus, I recall it being a problem before.

[keen yacht]

how do you update your game

[burnt badger]

you can rest or use clarity potions

[flat wave]

ty

[hallow void]

How do we submit suggestions? i don't seem to see the submission channel

[analog mantle]

I’m using a VPN and now it works

[crystal ember]

👍

[errant hedge]

Since combating hackers is the big priority right now, is there a plan in place for dealing with any false positives bans while you guys are working out the kinks with hacker detection? @muted onyx, sorry if this has been asked before I did not see anything.

[keen yacht]

anyone have a problem with updating, does anyone know how to fix it?

[vast prairie]

Lmao greed

[crystal ember]

Is there a story behind that?

[trail needle]

It seems like the bot is specifically targeting ANY message talking about the exception access violation error

Seems like a lot of people are having this issue rn, has anyone found a way to fix it ?
Game is litteraly unplayable, it crashes as soon as I start to look for a match, and will still send my team mate into the game alone, which sucks.

[wraith talon]

Hello im getting this error trying to update... What can i do?
"failed to update pakchunk14000-Windows.pak (code:0)"

[opal rampart]

atlas vpn worked for my friend set to netherlands its free for the first 5gb

[raw nova]

are we limited to 7 characters? there are 8 classes now and when i try to make a warlock i get this error. You cannot create any more characters.

[cunning tendon]

unfortunately for now yeah

[rotund mica]

Did you guys get your shards back?

[acoustic dock]

how do i refund?

[jaunty bane]

is there any plan to fix ISP firewalls detecting the game and launcher as a hazard <@&1019888848773328936>

[errant hedge]

They said they should be refunded in a future update.

[acoustic dock]

is there a way to get a refund for the game?

[fallen topaz]

is spell capacity bonus broken rn?

[hollow pebble]

https://darkanddarker.com/support/contact

[grave jungle]

i dont know how to approach warlocks

[scarlet maple]

Does poison apply to the hand crossbow on rogue?

[analog ocean]

With W key

[full osprey]

game is in maintenance now?

[analog ocean]

Not sure. Weak point damage works on throwing weapons. So maybe.

Test it on a dummy to confirm

Or ask rogue chat

[acoustic dock]

its not giving me the option

[lime shore]

How does one gain access to playing the game

[hollow pebble]

I think you can submit the request even if you can't specifically select DaD as the product.

[analog ocean]

#🔗links go to their website. Download launcher

[lime shore]

Thank you

[acoustic dock]

noo doesnt come up with that option at all

[primal onyx]

I cant even open the launcher to play this is day 3 of this happening

[flat estuary]

how i can get the server id? (i want to do a support request to the mod)

[untold olive]

Seems there's an issue with the launcher, I keep getting a crash report after trying to run the game. I re-installed the game and checked for updates on my graphics driver, and tried running as administrator. Anyone have a fix for this?

[eternal root]

does anyone know if this pc will be enough to run this game?

[plush root]

I am also having this issue. The launcher takes forever to open then crashes when i try to press play or scan and repair

[simple tartan]

hello, unfortunately i do not have anysound spatialization in game, anyone know what i can do? x;x

[rare dragon]

failed to update pakchunk 901 any fix?

[eternal root]

will this pc run dark and darker???? AMD Radeon RX 580 GPU, an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9705 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 12GB of free space

[crude belfry]

Are all of the bard buffs for alliess or only specific one where it says that? For example ballad of courage? Should it apply to my allies? Ty!

[indigo tulip]

so i spend the blue rocks on bard, the classes are now free how do i get my blue thingy's back

[rotund carbon]

wth i just spawned in the goblin caves next to that fountain with the 2 archers and after i finished breaking the wood wall there was 4 goblins and a mummy waiting for me, somehow managed to kill all of them with my starting gear and a rogue apeared to finish me before i had even time to pop my potion.. that is normal? (almost killed him by the way)

[hollow pebble]

Yes you should be able to run in if you can get it to install. 12GB of free space is really not enough though, even if you get the game installed you'll need more space left for system updates etc so you should try to free more space up first.

[shut drift]

is anyone else having sound bugs?

[keen yacht]

is the update working yet?

[wanton stone]

how come the rock candy vendor isnt on the merchant section anymore? that was a good currency imo

[burnt badger]

lets say i got +1magical damage on pants is it for like wiz or anyone?

[hollow pebble]

Wiz, Lock, Cleric, and Bard would like those.

[burnt badger]

thanks

[vital magnet]

Anyone know the portal spawns on high roller goblin caves?

[spark oar]

Well I have tried reinstalling VC_redist.x64.exe and tried installing the game on C: drive and I tried using a VPN and the game will still NOT launch past the Blacksmith Launcher screen.

[sage pendant]

Will money be refunded for those who bought both classes?

[inland shell]

ice, did you read the patch notes?

[sage pendant]

I'm talking about real money, not the in game currency

[inland shell]

As far as I'm aware, classes weren't purchasable with cash, only shards

[sage pendant]

I think majority of people who bought the redstones wanted classes, not cosmetics and the devs are very aware.

[compact flower]

When will you have an idea what you want bard to be?

[fierce oasis]

how do you fix the maintenance button on the luncher?

[jade depot]

STEAM when?

[frosty briar]

yo i heard bard's piercing shriekd scales with magic damage even tho it does physical damage, can anyone confirm?

[thorn patio]

Hello, does anyone know about a discord or a reddit community, or something, where people buy and sell D&D equipment?

[red lion]

Is team killing for no reason a ban offence?

[fierce oasis]

no

[vale pawn]

is there a way to get a refund for redstone shards that were used for classes

[hollow pebble]

Uninstall the launcher, reboot your PC, reinstall the launcher using a fresh installer from darkanddarker.com

[red lion]

So I can queue up with people stab them in the back, take their shit and that's not a ban offence?

[sage pendant]

you will get the shards back in next update

[vale pawn]

thank you

[fierce oasis]

you will get a red name

[cyan skiff]

is it possible to upgrade the standard edition to the premium edition? To get that nice skins ? :p

[red lion]

What is a red name

[sage pendant]

yes it costs the additional $15

[fierce oasis]

untrustworthy

[cyan skiff]

have u maybe got a link for me?

[red lion]

Where does it show ingame?

[sage pendant]

https://darkanddarker.com/shop

[cyan skiff]

thank you ❤️

[red lion]

To clarify, there is no real consequence to team killing?

[north quarry]

If your name is red, probably noone will invite you i guess

[red lion]

lol

[quasi oyster]

if i make an account, buy the game on that account (i already have the game) then give my friend the info for the account, will he have the game on his pc

No idea but with gear and headshot i guess

[leaden pollen]

what exactly is arcane damage as in what does it?

[random sinew]

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[bright reef]

I think the shards will be refunded, not the money, their user purchase agreement states that they will not refund in-game currency if it's exhausted. (Yes, I am that nerd that reads the TOS.)

[novel cove]

Wheres the best place to give suggestions to devs? Their website suggestion page or here in the ⁠d-and-d-suggestions tab?

[whole barn]

With the changes to Bard's good/great songs, what is the point of Charismatic Performance? Is it worth getting anymore?

[bright reef]

Probably the website. Here in the discord it will inevitably get lost to discussion and trolls

[sage pendant]

I've heard it's not worth using because you can only skip like 1 or sometimes 0 notes

[fallen radish]

What does Physical Healing cover? Only bandages?

[whole barn]

Unfortunate, just can't have nice things.

[slow falcon]

how long are the servers staying on for this playtest?

is there a new fix to this stuttering issue

[vocal condor]

How do I

[white ravine]

downloaded the installer for bnlacksmith downloaded blacksmith but smith isnt on my computer and istaller wont let me download it again

[real merlin]

Is the reduced radius of the Shriek of Weakness song a bug? It isn't in the hotfix notes so I don't know if its a bug or a horrible stealth nerf. I basically have to let any pvp enemy get a free hit in if I want to debuff them now.

[snow zinc]

Anyone know how to fix a "Failed to check game patch." issue with the launcher? i just downloaded it and that was instantly what i got

[tribal anvil]

when am i not going to need to use a vpn to update/install the game?

[vapid osprey]

Does the spellbook cast faster than the magic staff?

[lime inlet]

@timber mist @muted onyx are there any thoughts on keeping potions/bandages as non-stackable or is there any debate on having them as stack of 2?

[mighty gale]

How high does ore powder stack? Rubysilver specifically if it makes a difference

[mighty gale]

no cast TIME is the same I believe but the actual animation for the book is a little faster if I remember

[static harness]

Hello, I got a blue pickaxe does it change something or it just more cool ?

Does anyone know why when I try to play a match my entire computer shuts off? It only happens in this game and it doesnt say anything

[vague viper]

The login button on the blacksmith launcher is not working. I'm on the correct version of visual c++ and I've tried launching in administrator. Any fixes?

[errant cove]

so lemme know if i'cn run'nuh game on win 7

[quick charm]

whats token of honor?

[warm musk]

Are cosmetics shared across characters?

[undone phoenix]

Is there any way to insert the gold coins in the purse faster? Currently I'm just dragging it

[devout dew]

any idea why my launcher wont open at all, like it just closes itself

[north quarry]

Put Purse in stash, then Shift+Right Click to quick move from bag -> stash. If they are already in stash just quick move to bag and back to stash

[vast hinge]

is mining speed based on agility or resourcefulness?

[snow zinc]

Anyone else having a "Failed to update pakchunk300-Windows.pak"

[prime pulsar]

is there no way to fix the stutters anymore this is getting silly

[undone phoenix]

Appreciate it.

[night axle]

Resourcefulness, agility is move/attack speed

[vast hinge]

thank you

[wide hill]

Anyone having issues with updating? Mine is sitting at (0/17) 0% and not advancing.

[empty wharf]

Saw some YouTube guy open a chest n everything instantly went into his inventory, tf is that?

[prime pulsar]

so like the update totally messed the game for me its just constant stutters now, so like is there a fix

[empty wharf]

have you scanned n repaired it?

[prime pulsar]

i have not it didnt have issues during update 4 but now its not working

[empty wharf]

I had bad stuttering issues early on and I closed everything, opens the launcher, scanned n repaired and it’s been good since

[prime pulsar]

whelp lets try that

[glad mural]

is achilles heel's 5 damage per movement magical or physical? I know that the initial 10 damage is physical

[severe grail]

Do instruments boost your overall stats if you dont actually equip them in your hands? Like trinkets?

[prime pulsar]

whelp thanks anyway but nope same result

[tough sky]

Guys does Jokester work on yourselff?

[gaunt mortar]

Are teamers in goblin caves something I should report ?

[burnt badger]

I am struggling to update the game, I click update and it just sits at 0% for some reason

[copper jetty]

My game says "failed to update"

[primal bone]

[weak wraith]

WHAT io DO WITH INTACT SKULL

[burnt badger]

[primal bone]

Damn that sucks, mine is just stuck at 0% lol

[twilit cape]

Is there a reason to get 2 spell memory or what does it even do?

[burnt badger]

yeah mine was too and then it displayed an error code after being at 0 for a while

[primal bone]

Thats real well hopefully it starts working for the both of us maybe just try to re update it i guess and hope for the best lol

[burnt badger]

Idk it just randomly started updating for me. It's super weird. Try to occasionally pause and unpause the DL

[primal bone]

There was a update this morning so idk

[primal bone]

its updating now i just closed blacksmith in task manager and restarted the download lol good luck

[winter lynx]

same error here, currently re-installing 😅

[vast hinge]

does a potion of luck affect mining in any way?

[winter lynx]

cant say with certainty but after some reasearch id believe not, it seems like it affects loot tables

increasing the drop rate of grey items, by 5-15% and adding higher tiers into the loot pool

[slender oriole]

Anyone got a fix for the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error while launching the game?

[winter lynx]

im in the same boat

[worthy forge]

Anyone have a fix for not being able to click on anything after the game opens?

[carmine moat]

Does anyone know if there are plans to add a 2man max map?

[severe minnow]

whenever i try to launch the game it just opens a black screen then goes back to the launcher

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkAndDarker/comments/15m1omg/strange_key_binding_issues_cant_loot_a_chest_that/

[limpid juniper]

How do i rotate the side my bow shoots to

[slender oriole]

Fixed a certain part of EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error code

[severe minnow]

me to just bought it a hour ago...

[random sinew]

@slender oriole SAVED MY FUCKING LIFE WITH EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error. may not fix for everyone but worth a shot. DM me and i'll tell you what we did

[slender oriole]

if you're able to, open your game directory either through chaf or blacksmith (whatever you bought it on) and in your file explorer search gmesdk.dll and delete both files that pop up

[hollow yew]

imma try chaf rq i cant get the launcher to open when i log in it just goes away

[gleaming laurel]

Why can warlocks wear cobalt templar armor but not regular templar armor?

[low sky]

hey i have a big promblem since the last update when i press play it does like 1-2 sec like it will open and then it just stop any solutions i've tried almost anything uninstaling and instaling launcher the game clearing cache i dont know what else to do any1 know what else i can do?

[south pawn]

Is there a option to gift the game to a friend i am not seeing?

[merry garnet]

How do I take money out of a coin purse?

[spark widget]

I assume because there isn't really any other heavy armor option available to craft for warlock

[glad mural]

is achilles heel's 5 damage per movement magical or physical? I know that the initial 10 damage is physical

[torpid lagoon]

What determines when the tunnel escape opens on goblin caves, I waited the whole game and it never opened, almost died to it, and then other times it's open at 5+ minutes left

[rocky ravine]

Is there any plans on adding more slots for characters to create? I'd like to expierence every class and play with them but unfortionatly you have to choose already which class you cant play dou to the restriction of 7 creatable characters with 8 playable classes with another one coming.

[spare pecan]

does magical power make bard songs stronger? or anything?

[real merlin]

Does the antimagic perk make you take less damage if you apply Power of Sacrifice to yourself?

[surreal breach]

has anyone else been getting stuttering/rubberbanding since playtest 5? this isnt the launch stuttering this is different, just jittering in place. makes me lose a lot of chases/fights because my movement just locks for a second

[nova river]

does anyone know if high roller is going to be 50 gold ante fee again this weekend? and if so should we expect that to be every weekend?

[rich blade]

what does pressing g as a fighter do?

[nova river]

rest

[old tundra]

So in my opinion dark and darker wiping should just be a gear , triumphant level and gold wipe. I feel like leveling up characters again is a little annoying especially after they add training to the game. In the game you could lose all your gear and gold but not your lvl progression. Idk maybe I'm wrong I kinda just hate having my progression reset every few months. Please feel free to tell me your opinion

[spark widget]

lets you slowly restore the transparent portion of your missing health

[granite copper]

I've been getting this too for the past 2 days

[silent onyx]

Are we goin to get another character slot so we can have 1 of each class?

[undone field]

So to heal with warlock you just need torture mastery and curse of pain just auto heals you?

[ornate wasp]

what does triuphant lvl do anyway?

[tight knoll]

give u shards and u can buy skins emotes etc with it

[ornate wasp]

[edgy schooner]

how much should i sell troll blood for?

[alpine ridge]

poison?

[severe minnow]

where does one figure out how to get the game to launch

[torpid lagoon]

.

[burnt badger]

What happens if you report someone and the guy gets banned does the support bot tell you?

[alpine ridge]

last circle forming i think

[fierce grotto]

new map when?

[amber goblet]

no full hp was fighting it but i backed up and bang got killed and i was full blue gear

[torpid lagoon]

Like I stated already, it's not always the case. Hence why I asked if anyone had information.

[alpine ridge]

Assuming you know it collapses

[torpid lagoon]

Yes, one person can take it.

[night axle]

How do i take gold out of a gold purse, or combine 2 half purses?

[lavish aspen]

does agility increase draw speed on bows?

[hollow vessel]

Hold Ctrl

[sonic heart]

does hand crossbow slow the target and for how long

[night axle]

do you get the stats from bard instruments if they're just equipt or do you need to hold them in your hand

[torpid lagoon]

bump

[queen haven]

When reaching out to support via darkanddarker.com/support, how long should I wait before following up with the support team?

[severe minnow]

oh good idea i should do that since the gAME DOESNT LAUNCH

[inner pewter]

is there an api for tis

[strong swallow]

can bards play songs faster with e.g. spell casting speed or agility or resourcefullness

[ocean basin]

anyone know if buying the game now will get me it on steam if it comes back?

[radiant bone]

probably not, no. But its not like u cant play from the blacksmith launcher

[ocean basin]

[burnt badger]

If any staff can answer this for those who bought the game will we get a steam key when it's on steam

[modern juniper]

Maybe 10

[winter anvil]

still stuttering

[wild pollen]

what do i do if i cant take out my weapon
i am bare hands and cant hold it wtf

[wary osprey]

Does armour give a total buff to defense rating or only to the body part you have it equipped to? I.E, if i have plate boots on, it's only defending my feet right? and any hits to any other location will take normal damage?

[tight knoll]

adding to that if u have head armor and u get hit on your body does the head armmor help

[narrow pine]

then maybe try this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6C4gjoBZho

[wary osprey]

Yeah that's what i'm getting at, is armour defense cumulative or does it only apply to the part of the body it is equipped to

[fallen vigil]

it applies to the whole body

[wary osprey]

Ahh thanks, i wasn't sure how accurate location based damage was; So plate boots will still protect my head, lol

[fallen vigil]

instead of thinking of it as armor for your body think of it as armor for your HP bar, it more or less works like a flat HP increase

[wary osprey]

yeah that makes sense, it's clear now anyway, thanks - I was always trying to prioritise a helmet when equipping anything - it seems it doesn't really matter

[rich bolt]

what does spell memory do?

[wary osprey]

I've not played anything but fighter but i'm pretty sure it dictates how many casts of a spell you can use before needing to recharge?

[fallen vigil]

allows you to use spells, you cant cast without spell memory equipped. the ammount of casts is solely determined by the spell

[uneven burrow]

have they talked about expanding stash at all? cuz like peoples stashes are already full and its been a week

[thick panther]

Are there still any legal issues around the game? I want to buy it so I can play it but I'm still a bit worried that the game could be shut down and I don't want to lose the money. Sorry if it's a stupid question :/

[timid heart]

Are levels for something more than passive skill every 5? Is there some bonus at level 20?

[uneven burrow]

nii

[wary osprey]

there's some kind of "training" screen that you can see under the class tab, that says "coming soon" i suspect that will be involved with leveling somehow

[timid heart]

thanks guys

[cedar jetty]

Could you create a chat channel in the discord for people looking for item pricing suggestions?

[shrewd jolt]

are all the hotfix links gone orrr how does someone access them

[brittle root]

how tf are you supposed to deal with bola goblins?

[fallen vigil]

@brittle root walk to one side while they charge and throw it. @thick panther theres a good chance they're home free, theres literally a game that looks exactly like dark and darker and p3 that was made like 7 or 8 years ago. so no one can really claim it and say they can't make something like it, and the company can't say that IM used p3 to make their game

[waxen juniper]

anyone else having issues when there's a lot of effect particles? my FPS drops massively when i see wizards haste buff

[fallen vigil]

try turning down effect quality? either that or re-install is all i can think of

[wary osprey]

Where does the gated stair escape in the gobbo caves lead to and when does it open?

[fallen vigil]

its in a room the the left of 3 jars that you can break, behind them is a pit you can drop down, skelly archer normally spawns there. (if that helps you find it) i believe it opens on the 3rd or 4th ring close

[snow sigil]

When playing perfectly at 144fps sometimes I start lagging real hard and then it fixes again, any work around? I also got an unreal engine crash ty in advance

[fallen vigil]

uhhh, how long was the game running before you had it happen? or does it just happen randomly regardless?

[snow sigil]

an hour or so, I restarted my pc and will try it again

Is this a known issue?

[little vigil]

is there a place to make suggestions to the devs?

[fallen vigil]

could just be a memory leak issue, i've had it happen a couple of times and just restarting my game fixes it. other than that you could try going into "graphics settings" (type it in the search bar bottom of windows) itll pop up with hardware accelrated gpu scheduling, turn that on and add a program, right click your blacksmith launcher, open file location, go back one folder. Open the dark and darker folder and then copy that file path at the top. Paste it into the add a program file explorer and select dungeoncrawler.exe. Then set it to high priority

[snow sigil]

thanks a lot!! I will try it

[fallen vigil]

if it fixes let me know lol, if not i can try and see another solution

[waxen juniper]

its already at low

[fallen vigil]

try the same solution i just gave crisp^

windows isn't very good at delegating gpu usage unless its told too

[novel wadi]

Anyone got some sort of list/ ranking on the best buffs/stats to get on items etc

[fallen vigil]

tbh some caffine junkie on reddit probably has one, ill find out rq

[fallen vigil]

found a thread, no list i can find unfortunately. basically you just kinda think about the class that uses that specific item. For instance a windlass crossbow (for archer) won't really sell or be useful with a +1 will and +2 strength bonus. If it had like +1 agility and +2 phys damage it would sell for decent gp

[timber apex]

Greeting everyone, I just meet by a hacker. Is there any channel to report?

[fallen vigil]

create a ticket and submit a clip for review is my best guess

[timber apex]

okay. Thanks a lot.

[twin hornet]

guys i cant run the game its crashing after the last update, i did uninstall the game and i did the scan and repair, can anyone pls help me with this

[fallen vigil]

what's causing it to crash? just opening it?

[twin hornet]

yes

[fallen vigil]

was it running well the last patch? like fps wise or was it choppy?

[twin hornet]

it war running smoothly

[upper jasper]

is it normal for the blacksmith launcher to download slowly? It won't download any faster than 4MBit/s

[fallen vigil]

you could try disabling fullscreen optimizations and see if it runs

[twin hornet]

how can i disablit with out getting in game?

[fallen vigil]

close it and run as admin

[slender creek]

is there an OCE server?

[fallen vigil]

right click blacksmith, open file location, go back one folder, go into the dark and darker folder, right click dungeoncrawler, click properties, click compatibility on the new window, and disable fullscreen optimizations. save it hit OK and try and launch it with blacksmith running as admin

[upper jasper]

didn't help but thank you anyway

[fallen vigil]

it also might be downloading fine and just waiting for your drive to write the files

[upper jasper]

downloading to my m.2 ssd so I doubt it, some people say to use a vpn on reddit so I will try that

[fallen vigil]

well i hope you figure it out, have fun stabbing lol

[still bane]

Would there be any issues if I decide to add Dark and Darker to steam as a non steam game?

[formal cobalt]

whens vc coming backkk

[cunning tendon]

na, go ahead

[fallen vigil]

@still bane not from what i've heard. @formal cobalt They have to get the TOS locked up tight cause of russia

[still bane]

Thank you both, just wanted to be sure!

[formal cobalt]

ughhhh

[slender creek]

hi does anyone know if this game has an OCE server?

[cunning tendon]

it does, sydney is the server location

[formal cobalt]

hey are they ever going to fix the model for parrying with the long sword?

[gusty pumice]

They recently fixed the issues with crossbows that were not shooting properly so there is a chance but for now there is no point in blocking with anything else other than shields due to lags/desync or whatever the fck this is that causes the weapons to literally cut through the longswords, quarterstaffs and spears blocks it might as well be something wrong with the fov and player models since you can literally clip through people who are in the blocking stance with the shield and just spam left attacks with one handed short swords and axes that makes no sense at all.

This game in a current state when it comes to fighting is a left click spammer and nothing else if you play melee classes.

[formal cobalt]

its consistant to a degree, but the model is like 4 inches the the right of where it shows it is

[snow sigil]

I tried it but it still happened, idk maybe it has to do with temperatures since I am playing on laptop but I don't see the issue since I am playing Warzone 2 without any problems

[neon sun]

A question for the devs or anyone with the knowledge. Will the purchase of dark and darker will we get a transfer to steam when it releases to steam? Or are they sticking only to the launcher they are currently using because Id just love if all my games were in the same place.

[lone hornet]

if I have +2 true magical damage on something does my weapon then also do 2 magical damage or does that only proc on magical damage in the first place?

[gilded crater]

yo i just got an email today saying my game was refunded but i never asked for it to be?

[fallen topaz]

What does spell capacity do? I thought it would increase the total points of spells I could prepare but doesnt seem to be working 😦

[twin hornet]

hi detra i did what you told me still same issue

[rich bolt]

How do I fix the game crashing/closing every 10 minutes

[burnt badger]

Does the Jokester perk work on self as well on rogue?

[outer elbow]

do we have any info about Ruins being still first level for the castle? or that idea has been scraped and there will be completely new map as level 1? I know they wanted for ruins to be lv1, then they made it separated for testing purposes, but since then I have not seen any info on what the idea of it is. Have I missed something?

[somber moon]

Is the Skeleton Skin worth the disadvantages it comes with, or should I just buy Orc. I like them both equally

[sour pebble]

i got 50$ verison so.. no. Ork is better on rogue, barb and ranger, mostly in high damage builds
Skelly skin is good for those who fighting with magicians (they rare in games) so it's pointless. Mostly you gonna see rogues, and fighters with rangers

[somber moon]

Orc it is them. Thank you

[half lodge]

IIRC it was scrapped because players disliked it, so I doubt it's coming back.

[sour pebble]

+1 strength not only gives you a bit of damage, its also gives you hp, what can sometimes good if you have +% health bonus items
(combine that with +2 attributes on rogue perk and...)

[somber moon]

I care less for the stats, and more for the skin itself, but I just don't want too many cons. Like the skeletons has

[sour pebble]

it's doesnt feels like a disadvantage, moslty it feels like "nothing". On skelly skin you will feel that -armour rating only when die from almost naked rogue with backstabs

[empty radish]

Does anyone know the plans about the "Training" tab in game? When it will be implemented? Or is there a roadmap of somekind?

[iron kelp]

does 1 physical power = 1 damage?

[wary osprey]

What do capes drop from, high roller only? I have never seen one and I am now a level 18 fighter

[frozen spear]

how do you get blue/red names

[clear steppe]

do damaging songs and debuffs played by bard effect teamates

[wraith talon]

does the 50% weapon damage bonus when using instruments count towards the magical damage of the Drum song?

[wary osprey]

Karma voting - negative karma goes red, good karma goes blue - you can only give a Karma rating to the last 6 teams you played with, i think

[frozen spear]

thanks bro

[marsh jungle]

They can drop from wrath and skele champion in normal as well, also in hell/inferno level

[rain sapphire]

Can goblin caves worm drops Rusty key?

[wary osprey]

I guess i better do some grinding on those enemies then; Never seen a cape before

[dapper flume]

im not sure how but i press a key and my hud disappears, pressing esc doesnt do anything either. does anyone know what that is and what the hotkey toggle on/off is?

[wraith talon]

does the 50% weapon damage bonus when using instruments count towards the magical damage of the Drum song?

[young flower]

does anyone know if they are planning anything to reduce the space gold takes up in your stash?

[wary osprey]

just have to buy gold pouches for the moment but they still only hold 50 coins 😦

[zealous bloom]

the statline 'armor pen' only applies to physical dmg right? not magical?

[thorny oak]

are refunds possible?

[stable ridge]

Yea maybe check the FAQ channel. I know looking around is hard.

[woven nimbus]

can devs stop putting particles to every fucking effect there is in a game? I am dropping from 100fps to 60 bc of that shit

[hollow vessel]

No

[sturdy cobalt]

Have there been any theory crafting / math sheets on how stats work? They seem weird to me and I"d like to understand how stats work better

[stoic lantern]

There is a wiki you can see the maths

[uncut vault]

Why is the windlass slept on? That thing can one shot.

[uncut rover]

When will Warlock get Eldritch Blast

[craggy escarp]

Why can't rogues destroy outside barricades while they nerf my ability to jump over them?

[nimble oxide]

please be more forgiving in PvE for solo goblin dungeon its so hard, make endgame longer or add more escape portals as they could be 3 floors above and you cant get to them in time

[sick oriole]

Is teaming in solo dungeon allowed ? Last night I came across a Fighter and Cleric in Solo which teamed up and cleared the dungeon together, based on their movement and actions it seemed as if they were premade (communicating via Discord or similar)

[rare hull]

I bought bard at the beginning, didn't receive my shards back

[haughty flint]

Best way to make gold? I cant afford all these kits every time

[sick oriole]

Classes are now free. Please note that currency that was used to unlock a class will be returned in a future update. We apologize for this delay.

does Ignite work with fire damage perks?

[heady geyser]

My friend bought the game and his account suddenly lost the game, When he logs in on the website it mentiones that he has not purchased it. Yet he has the reciept is there any fix? He has already sent a ticket but i was just wondering.

[teal creek]

how do i upgrade to founders on chafgames?

[whole kindle]

What is the timer on the merchants? Also does the heart number mean anything or is that for later?

[rich bolt]

HOW DO I FIX CRASHES

[heady geyser]

dont open the game o - o

[rich bolt]

it happens afteyr like 5 fcking mins

[pseudo steeple]

try updating your gpu drivers. if that doesn't work try adding launcher options -dx11 (open blacksmith, top left, click settings, game, launch options, "-dx11"

[keen trail]

where is my essence ? werent classes supposed to be free

[burnt badger]

is there a button to show fps ?

[junior badge]

Shift + click

[foggy glen]

If Dark & Darker loses the legal battle with Nexon, could it disappear?

[rancid hatch]

Does anyone know what stat affects pickaxe speed (resourcefulness?) and if +action speed helps it?

[gilded blade]

Yes, it would be taken down at that point.

[flint cairn]

Downloaded the launcher, bought the game through the launcher/website. Now the launcher is broken and will not open. Just closes after the initial splash screen. What do?

[zealous nova]

Had the same problem… and getting a VPN fixed it for me

[ocean kite]

This probably was asked before, but will we get a character slot upgrade so we can play all available classes without deleting one?

[north bramble]

If I don't use a VPN I with lose connection to a match in progress after the 5 minute mark... If I use a VPN I will get about 2 matches in before the 3rd one disconnects

[ocean kite]

If it's an Unreal Engine error, try this:

1.Open the nvidia control panel.
2.Head to "Configure Surround, PhysX"
3.Change your Processor to your Graphics Card. It is set to "Automatic" at the beginning.

Disclaimer: The game may not start at the beginning and you could end up in the same error again. Simply restart your computer again!

Also, if you have 'Citrix workspace' running on your device, you will need to uninstall it in order to run the game.

A friend of mine got his game to work like this, was originally posted by a Senior Warden here.

[slim kiln]

Has anyone gotten a rusty key from either of the worms on the HR goblin map? i've killed them prob 50 times and havent gotten one

[autumn elm]

When there will be wipe, do you lose all progress(lvls, items etc.) on characters?

[timid rapids]

sad 70$ for coffee where im at its a bit too much i wanted it and was ready to pay 40 but damn 70$ you guys want our money lmaoo

[fierce roost]

Are ppl allowed to team in Goblin caves btw? Seen 2 ppl Team up in HR Goblin Caves. Was obvious from the start of the round in the Lobby.

[grave pine]

[timid rapids]

[digital lava]

how do you start a temp party in the dicord to play with some randoms?

[still geode]

Increased Will or Knowledge or any stat, Magical healing? how can i see my current Magical healing?
its like Will > Magical Power > Magical healing?

[ocean kite]

wdym "allowed"
it's not like anyone can communicate aside from gestures and not sticking their sword into someones face, so of course it's allowed.
Just like how you're allowed to dance in Team Fortress 2

[spare glacier]

When will chests for things and gold be added? There is no place where to put things and gold!

[long saddle]

Is the code with the madrina's coffee pack redeemable on steam once the game comes out there?

[urban chasm]

Is anyone else having ticket issues? I put a ticket in about the game on like the 9th and I've still had no response

[bleak bay]

HELP! my dark and darker wont launch from blacksmith launcher. i have tried everything there is to try (searched google). just black screen, and sometimes it says i should change my API. i have tried to change it to -dx11

[tidal thorn]

Did they think to create a duo map like they create a solo ?

[trail monolith]

Did hunting traps get a nerf? Cause a clerk got stuck then walked through without disarming it

[north bramble]

ruins would be a great duo map

[frank furnace]

Anyone know how to change passcode on chaf game’s launcher/site?🙏

[flint cairn]

Downloaded the launcher, bought the game through the launcher/website. Now the launcher is broken and will not open. Just closes after the initial splash screen. What do?

[lament forum]

Can we migrate an account from chaf to ironmace launcher?

[safe apex]

Troubadour applications closed? Added the role for myself but the channel doesn't show up

[frank furnace]

Anyone know how to change password or login info for chaf games launcher/site?

[idle arch]

What is the official IM stand on teaming in solo instances or with anyone outside of your actual party? I've seen a warden seem to have a negative opinion on it but I enjoy the idea of forming alliances in goblin caves, seems like a very fun idea more so when we do get VOIP back into the game.

[frank furnace]

I ended up just clicking forgot my password! No way to edit security options for chaf ATM

[vestal fable]

ARE DRUIDS GOING TO BE ABLE TO SHAPESHIFT?

[vapid harbor]

Not sure how dumb of a question this is so I apologize in advance, But if I as a wizard find a flute that states plus 3% magic damage , it means that If i use the flute on my only available slot which is a utility slot ( where you put your pots and traps ) will this mean I will beenfit from the stat as wizard by having the flute equiped ?

[frank furnace]

I heard only when it is in your hand you get the stat from items like instruments.

[vernal stratus]

when is voip coming back? need need need it.

[topaz flame]

Does anyone know of a fix for the blacksmith launcher? it wont open the client unless i reinstall it

[severe minnow]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/953537731454185472/1142157461076320358/Screenshot_317.png anyone know a fix to this?

[frank furnace]

did it run before ?

[bitter moat]

Does Jokester give you +2 as well as your teammates?

[severe minnow]

nope bought it yesterday

[frank furnace]

is it installed on your main hard drive?

[severe minnow]

at first it was but then i deleted everything and tried it on my ssd

[frank furnace]

I seen something about it online. could be something to do with unreal engine if you have unreal engine installed you can update it. But IDK if thats the reason or not. I have seen this same error when I try to run it sandboxed...

[inland owl]

Is there any way to upgrade to founder edition or is it planned in future?

[severe minnow]

i dont do i need it?

[frank furnace]

I heard there was. go check the site you bought it from and see if the option is there

[frank furnace]

No you don't need it. I think thats more for if someone already had it installed and had the error.

[severe minnow]

so im screwed?

[inland owl]

Nice yea i found it ure able to buy the founder pack for 15$

[frank furnace]

No post it again through out the day someone will help. keep googling it. I feel like there is a support thread or something as well

[severe minnow]

k i have looked its mostly stuff from when it was on steam about verifying the files through steam (im trying to do it through the launcher rn but its slow asf)

[frank furnace]

#report-a-bug might work too

[main pivot]

I just tried to report a bug and the ticket system kept failing

[frank furnace]

yikes. yeah they get a lot of tickets. hopefully ya'll can get the help you need

[main pivot]

I'm trying to create a Bard. I have on of all the other classes, with no duplicates. When I try and create a bard I get hit with the "You cannot create any more characters" error. Can I not have one of every class?

[frank furnace]

I know this one! only enough room for the ones you have there is a limit on how many charcters you can make. enough slots to make all but one class!

[main pivot]

So I can't have one of every class? I have to choose one to not play?

[frank furnace]

yeah thats what people have told me. I only play three classes so i havnt ran into this.

[main pivot]

Well that is shockingly short sighted

[frank furnace]

its early access and maybe server restrictions and stuff for the time being. plus one class is a WIP

[crystal echo]

I have the same issue. I'm reinstalling rn to try and see if that fixes it

[severe minnow]

some people on reddit seem to have uninstalled rivatuner and msi afterburner to get it to work it might work for you? i dont even have em downloaded 💀

[crystal echo]

same I don't have them downloaded either

[severe minnow]

rip.

[vapid trout]

Anyone else not able to login to blacksmith?

[fervent hull]

Will there be a cap on number of characters you can create?

[frank furnace]

yeah there is

[severe minnow]

its working? :O

[north quarry]

There is no indication for it to stay that way but right now the cap is at 7. This might be to UI limitations right now so it might change any day or it might not, speculating or ranting is pointless.

[shadow hazel]

how can i download the game?

[urban crow]

Did anyone else's Blacksmith bug out and say its corrupted now? Cant uninstall it or re-install it because it says its still installed..

[crystal echo]

It looks like reinstalling worked for me. So maybe you could try that?

[hidden sphinx]

What times on the timer does thw bug circle close?

[manic moss]

What timezone is that patch in?

[vestal basalt]

Can we stop nerfing wiz into the ground? Would love some counterplay against Rogue. In a 3k set I'm still free food for a naked rogue that isn't completely brain dead

[crystal echo]

It should be happening in like 2 mins

[hidden sphinx]

Same experience with wizard lol

[rich oriole]

what kind of game is this? do you need to have a party to enjoy the game? what about playing solo?

[candid cobalt]

why does the "play" button say maintainance, i just downloaded the game and i wanna know if its an issue with me or like server maintainance

[timid rapids]

anybody knows what it does to change the good performance to perfect peroformance as a bard ? was wondering what that meant exactly ?

[gusty mountain]

what is mistycal gem guys?

[spark oar]

anyone figure out why players like me cannoy get past the Blacksmith Login Button ?

[timid rapids]

lets pray this patch fixes this

[spark oar]

Im gonna uninstall the game

[plush jolt]

When will we be able to create more then 7 characters? I need to delete current characters in order to try out a new class...

[timid rapids]

1.Open the nvidia control panel.
2.Head to "Configure Surround, PhysX"
3.Change your Processor to your Graphics Card. It is set to "Automatic" at the beginning.

Disclaimer: The game may not start at the beginning and you could end up in the same error again. Simply restart your computer again!

A friend of mine got his game to work like this, was originally posted by a Senior Warden here.

i just reposted something someone said in general chat hope it can help

[left trench]

What does "increase item identification speed" mean (under Knowledge)?

[dense gorge]

id there an estimate of when training will be brought to the game?

[timid rapids]

hasnt been implemented in game yet

[brittle root]

prolly similar to either tarkov or diablo

[left trench]

aha - so knowledge on a fighter is useless?

[severe minnow]

Did it twice and it didn’t work but now it works?

[crystal echo]

yeah idk

[winter valley]

anyone had an issue where the game wants a newer driver version, but the newest is already instealled?

[dense gorge]

any idea when skill trees will be added?

[fleet elm]

what differentiates physical healing and magical healing when it comes to being a cleric?

[median pawn]

In the patch notes it says the cave troll now can drop mystical gems. But what is a mystical gem?

[inner remnant]

How do you check current fps in game (amd gpu)?

[strong canyon]

What is a mystical gem

[lethal acorn]

whats the best stat to stack to one shot with judgment

[sleek lantern]

Physical healing is bandages for sure and maybe potions too.
Magical healing is grom spells and skills.

[small osprey]

Question: When did the maintenance began? And when will it ends?

[weak thicket]

Hey there, I wonder if anyone has already discussed controller support, because I don't know how to make the look speed faster...

[thorn dagger]

about 30 minutes ago and it lasts 2 hours~ so in about 1:30 check back in

[hidden sphinx]

They are patching the game. It will be available again in 2 hours

[small osprey]

Ok thank you mates

[keen locust]

Are the rubysilver and cobalt armors crafted by you have stats for your class or just at random?

[median pawn]

Will and magical power

[sleek lantern]

Random

[north lake]

How long until they add larger gold storage or stash space to the game? I absolutely hate needing to spend all day in trade chat to clear space and making my friends wait for me whenever we play. The price of keys, which are the only way to trade above 1250g, are going crazy for this very reason.

[weak thicket]

What is the status of controller support? Will it get better?

[covert prawn]

anyone else have problem with launcher just saying maintenance on it?

[inland shell]

Red, read the announcements. Hotfix, ETA 2 hours.

[covert prawn]

what does that mean tho? their was a hotifx is that still being done cause its been two hours

[lethal acorn]

it just started

[inland shell]

Red, it started at 3:00pm eastern (8:00pm GMT), so we're only 45 minutes in.

[spark oar]

Part that confuses me is I COULD PLAY the game a couple days ago but cannot get past the Login button for the past 2 days.

[inland shell]

What happens when you click login?

[spark oar]

nothing

[inland shell]

Try closing all copies of the blacksmith launcher in task manager and retrying. If that doesn't work, change your DNS server to something else (e.g. Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1 or Google's 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4) if you're using your ISP's default DNS server.

Can you load the darkanddarker.com web site?

[spark oar]

ty I will try that

[cinder atlas]

So I may of missed this but can't find anything on what happened to candy. Does anyone know why is was removed and if it is coming back? Was cool that we could grind and save up for legendary and helped with storage due to its value.

[spark oar]

Kritkal, I can login to their websire no problem, I haVE SUBMITTED 3 TICKETS... LOL AND IY SAYS i HAVE PURCHASED THE GAME.

sry caps The Login button has a gold outline when I hover over it but does nothing whenI click the mouse.

[slender ember]

can i connect my chafgames account to blacksmith so i can use the blacksmith luncher ?

[inland shell]

Oni, you cannot

[spark oar]

well the DNS change did not help..... sigh

[slender ember]

@inland shell ummm ok brother ty

[inland shell]

Try turning off any antivirus you have running to see if that's blocking it.

Also, changing DNS server isn't immediate. Open a command prompt as administrator and type in "ipconfig /flushdns && ipconfig /registerdns" and see if that helps

[spark oar]

damn yer right.... I knew that too

[inland shell]

Game is currently in maintenance so it won't work anyway. Should be back up in about an hour. Restart your launcher and where it says "Login" should say "Maintenance".

[spark oar]

but I should get a message right?

[drowsy portal]

Cave Troll Elite can now drop a Mystical Gem. What is a mystical gem?

[spark oar]

or does the login button do nothing for everyone right now?

my button still says Login... hmmmmmmmm

[inland shell]

Are you using standalone launcher or Chaf Games launcher?

[spark oar]

I downloaded it "Blacksmith Installer.exe"

[inland shell]

Then you're using the standalone launcher. If it's not saying maintenance for you then you may not be able to communicate with the server

Crazy, can you ping 43.130.30.198 and 43.152.128.190 successfully?

[velvet creek]

Question - I just received an incoming connection request from blacksmithbootstrap.im, why is this?

[dawn sedge]

Does anyone know what the lever by the foot of a statue in the ruins does? I’ve been flipping it every time and looking but I can’t find out what it does

[inland shell]

that's the launcher probably communicating with the server

[spark oar]

does anyone have their ip so I can troubleshoot this?

[velvet creek]

I cant remember ever seeing a launcher having a remote IP address

[inland shell]

Elijah, when I open the launcher, I get 3 active connections. 2 from the blacksmith launcher from 43.130.30.198 and 43.152.128.190 then one from the duplicate exe from the first IP

[woven violet]

whats the best way to fight the ghost king

[obtuse schooner]

[inland shell]

Those timed out hops are normal. Odds are they just don't respond to pings. After 4 of those should show a ping response from the IP

[spark oar]

ya yer prolly right.... guess Ill have to wait for a ticket responce.

[nova summit]

is this a PvP game?

[inland shell]

This is PvPvE. Think Dungeons and Dragons meets Tarkov meets small-scale Battle Royale

[nova summit]

so you cant play solo then right? you need a full squad to fight

[severe minnow]

why isnt there voip rn?

[ember eagle]

is the game down rn?

[inland shell]

There is a solo play mode. There's 2 sets of maps right now, one is solo, one is three-man teams.

[spark oar]

ahhhh Now it says Failed to connect to the server.

[nova summit]

is there one for duos? or do we have to play in the three-man mode with 2 people?

[velvet creek]

sadly only solo & trio currently, me and my buddy are also hoping for duos eventually but honestly, so many people q solo & duo in the trios that its pretty even tbf

[winter lynx]

are the servers still under maintenance

[primal onyx]

yes for another houyr

[nova summit]

ok thanks @inland shell @velvet creek

[winter lynx]

word i hope the game runs this go around :D i was getting the exception_access_violation error code

[fleet elm]

thank you

[young perch]

Why put a game in Maintenance mode on a weekend?

[inland shell]

Chilly, devs are Korean. Maintenance started at 4:00am their time.

[fleet elm]

because it is early release and they are constantly fixing and improving

[graceful kayak]

A duo map would be great, currently if you encounter a 3 man you have to run 80% of the time. Otherwise they just role you.

[dawn notch]

i would love it

[young perch]

My Brother in law is Korean, and he would never do this to me

[pastel sail]

anyone know when maintenance will be over?

[inland shell]

Yes, Chilly, the devs made maintenance at this time for the sole reason to slight you. They know you by name.

[fleet elm]

in the announcements they state about another 40 mins in their maintenance window, although you never know how long these can take.

[pastel sail]

@fleet elm thanks man nah an estimate is good ill check back after watching a few episodes

[young perch]

Hopefully they dont make weekly maintenance on weekends in the future. Ahwell only 40minutes? thats just enough time for some league

[fleet elm]

❤️

[inland shell]

I'm sure there's more that isn't listed in the patch notes, probably exploit fixes. That would explain why they chose this time for maintenance.

[carmine pecan]

Deff had some more free time to play then usually today but, hey man gotta fix it at some point im here for it

[young perch]

Sorry, kritikal you got a link to the patchy's?

[brisk otter]

it's in announcements

[inland shell]

Announcements room at the top. Also, all previous hotfixes were done between 7:00am-12:00pm Eastern (12pm-5pm GMT) so who knows why they chose this time.

[young perch]

ok thanks

[shut phoenix]

Has the issue with the blacksmith launcher uninstalling the whole directory been fixed?

[boreal lily]

game freezes and crashes quite often, playing on chafgames. anyone know how to fix?

[compact brook]

if you have to chose only one damage perk on rogue what is the best perk to take

[dire idol]

I see a lot of people asking for a duos map. Is there any talk of that actually happening?

[tidal berry]

Any plans for adding an extra character shot being discussed?

[magic knoll]

Is buying gold with IRL money against the rules?

[silent shuttle]

Road map?

[wide condor]

does the leaderbord wipe mean that our inventory will wipe aswell?

[glad sentinel]

Too pay to win

[rare perch]

when are redstone shards getting refunded for character purchases now that they are free it said future update but id figure it would be the next one after.

[fluid reef]

Will the perfect brew taunt ever be released for outside of madrinas coffee? I don’t want to drop 35$ on coffee when I don’t even drink coffee, especially when it’s just for a lobby taunt

[trim relic]

Anyone know how to fix the Maintenance button bug on launcher?

[surreal fox]

My game still says maintance, is it still down or

[hard sphinx]

restart

[dawn briar]

why is the fighter highroller goblin caves scores messed up i had 10 escapes last night now says i have 0 and top 50 has only 1

[spark oar]

When I hit Return after typing in my email, it says Failed to connect to server.

[tropic crow]

When can we get friends list added to the game?

[calm solstice]

My friends and I were having a debate about the spellbook increasing spell casting speed does anyone have any concrete proof if it does or not. I keep trying to tell them (since I am a wizard) that only knowledge increases spell casting spell so unless the book has that or +spell casting speed it doesn’t increase the spell casting speed but they continue to argue so I want to get to the bottom of this

[ocean kite]

It definitely lets you move faster while casting, which is already a win in itself

[sick sorrel]

its just faster to cast with books

[calm solstice]

Prove it 🤷‍♂️

[fathom echo]

just use a book and something else

[sick sorrel]

you charge spells faster, what proof more you want?, its like bow and recurve bow

[calm solstice]

Prove that you charge spells faster

I’m not going to just take anyone’s word for it I need something concrete and broken down and the mechanics explained or busted

[inner crown]

Is this game gonna have wipes?

[sick sorrel]

then take stuff, book and try yourself, some stats are hidden

[native plume]

does anyone know why any time i load into a match, i get sent to the main page? also my weapon doesnt pull out and i cant open antything

[red cedar]

As a lvl 20 cleric I can 100% guarantee you that the spellbook casts faster if you don't believe us just try it yourself

[calm solstice]

again just your word as a lvl 20 wizard whos played all the playtest its casted just as fast as everything else

[nova summit]

do i need a mic to play this game? i have a buddy i can duo with but neither of us feel like talking

[sick sorrel]

then good luck 😄

[fathom echo]

if you care that much record yourself casting the same spell with a book and a staff and see how long each takes. the solution is so simple I find it hard to believe you're not trolling

[red cedar]

:/ just go buy a grey spellbook from the alchemist and bring it in with your starting staff then compare the 2 I don't know why you are asking about this stuff then when people tell you the answer you say I don't believe you. We are just trying to help

[burnt badger]

it only cast faster if the spellbook has more knowledge or spellcasting speed. The only benefit a grey spellbook will have is the faster movement speed

[calm solstice]

im going to but just to ask to see if anyone had already done it would be the smart thing right? everyone just thinks they know im asking for someone to prove it and if they cant then im going to ofc

[calm solstice]

agreed but ima make a video breaking it all down for people lmao

[burnt badger]

Nah you should leave them delusional. Makes my games easier if you keep people dumb

[slow pike]

i just got booted out of the game mid fight and can no longer connect

[calm solstice]

lmao im curious man and someone is going to do it sooner or later

[red cedar]

Even if the spellbook doesn't cast faster its still a 1000% better then the staff (at least for cleric)

[dusty pelican]

same

[burnt badger]

Thats true it is better because you move faster, but thats the only benefit.

[red cedar]

It also can't bonk on the ceiling

[calm solstice]

it also harder to get your spells canceled by the evironment unlike the staff hit box

[burnt badger]

it can bonk actually so you are incorrect. And next to that, staff saved me once from a hiding rogue. It still kinda hurts and hits faster than a mace

[calm solstice]

never said it cant lmao so im correct

[red cedar]

It can bonk but the staff bonk much more frequently

[warm flare]

how to open a new voice channel

[sick sorrel]

@calm solstice just take one friend of your and do cast racing who will cast faster zaps or magic misl

[burnt badger]

Lock said it @calm solstice . But ill choose the spellbook over the staff.

[calm solstice]

nah ima break it down slow motion with a milisecond timer and put the clips side by side

[burnt badger]

Would you make a video proofing grass is green stray ?? I mean

[red cedar]

I mean it can bonk but you have to be actively trying to bonk it on the ceiling

[calm solstice]

"it also harder to get your spells canceled by the evironment unlike the staff hit box"

[hard sphinx]

what he meant was that not the spell casting speed is faster but the "fire" animation is faster with the spellbook

[fringe iris]

any updates on the '' need a VPN to go on the website or connect to the blacksmith client '' issue ?

[digital radish]

my friend keeps crashing on ruins for some reason his pc is up to date on everything does anyone know why?

[tacit rivet]

@timber mist any ETA on paypal alrdy ?

[silent anvil]

same here

[dim wigeon]

When are you going to fix the crashing issues, I WANT TO PLAY THE GAME

[silent anvil]

can the portal spawn in the boss area (goblin caves)??

[jolly ether]

Anyone know a way to buy the game using crypto?

[nova summit]

do i need a mic to play this game? i have a buddy i can duo with but neither of us feel like talking

[fervent brook]

Do you get extra dmg when headshotting with spells?

[red cedar]

You don't need a mic but if you are playing with other people alot of them like to talk on discord while they play

[burnt badger]

So does the timer means the new season? so will there be a wipe?

[wanton stone]

anyone else find it crazy a barb can throw a drum at your head dealing 50 damage plus the dot slow? 😛 just get good i guess right

[outer abyss]

same for rogues and rangers, ranger perks apply to drums lol

[delicate flower]

Anyone knows the exact requirement of karma to get the blue name???

[winter anvil]

Ive tried everything on YouTube to fix the stutter and nothing works i even wiped my whole pc and I have a really good computer any other suggestions?

[red cedar]

All I can suggest is to just mess with the in-game settings but you've probably already done all that

[winter anvil]

Yeah I did, idk what’s wrong

[spark oar]

Anyone else getting this??? "Failed to connect to the server"

[red cedar]

I've heard switching to a different server or using a VPN helped some people but that's all I got

[winter anvil]

I’ll try that now

[crimson lily]

Is dark and darker paid game now or is there still a free version?

[somber spire]

paid

[tranquil pendant]

I have an issue that has just crept up on me and I have no clue how to fix it. I uninstalled the game in hopes the new update would appear, but after trying to install, the new install says "0.00 GB Required" and essentially doesn't download anything, doesn't even add a folder to my file location. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Blacksmith, adding a folder to the directory, uninstalling dark and darker and reinstalling it (still comes up with the same 0.00GB Required Download) and have tried the "Scan and Repair" button, and it just causes my Blacksmith to crash and doesn't do anything when I relaunch Blacksmith. I've also tried just clicking play after dozens of different things and nothing has worked, have I just completely screwd myself over? Does anyone know what to do in this situation?

[sharp smelt]

Are there any plans to do a steam release soon? I like to have my games on steam :/

[crimson lily]

With that said is it a lot less glitchy then the last couple releasese

[somber spire]

try to redownload blacksmith most of the problems are fixed like that. and to @sharp smelt no steam is not letting them yet but you can make a shortcut from steam

[jade flicker]

This game has higher system requirements than GTAV is it really that demanding?

[tranquil pendant]

I've tried that multiple times and everytime I relaunch blacksmith after reinstalling, the Launcher has the 'Play' button (which doesn't do anything) and the same issues just repeat themselves

[jade flicker]

Because minimal geforce gtx 1060 seems absurd

[rich whale]

is it allowed to snipe each other in goblin caves and then just team and ghost for each other?

[red cedar]

I'm running it on a shitty laptop with the low settings just fine but I do get some graphical bugs from time to time

[somber spire]

they only thing i can think of is clearing your games cache (figured it out)

[jade flicker]

how much fps do you get?

[red cedar]

Doesn't have a in-game fps counter as far as I can tell but it's probably around 50-60 though it goes down quite a bit if im not looking towards the floor in the library room

[jade flicker]

anything above 30 is good👍

[tranquil pendant]

That didn't work either unfortunately, I'll just give up for now I think my client is cursed

[somber spire]

the only thing i could think of now it wait for a patch from the devs

[candid cobalt]

when I try to update the game it tells me "failed to update pakchunk1700-Windows.pak, the file is open in another program. (code : 1101), im stupid what should i do about that

[spark oar]

restart your computer

Can someone open their Blacksmith, type in their email and hit enter to see if they get a "Failed to connect to server" message?

[dusk owl]

I'm torn on buying the game because its not on steam, but because it has a launcher it doesn't make sense for me to hold off... Those who have the game what're your thoughts so far?

[normal scaffold]

im usually hesitant to use single launchers but ime really enjoying it

[spark oar]

The game worked for me 2 days ago, but today Im getting this stupid "Failed to connect to server" message on the Blacksmith Login screen.

[red cedar]

I've had alot of fun but it can definitely be frustrating at times if you are going to buy it definitely get some friends or something to play with you it's alot better playing with other people in a vc then solo if you don't have any friends who want to play it there are tons of people who are looking for groups to play with in-game and on the discord server

[meager onyx]

Does the trap minigame kill you if you press while its on the red zone?

[solemn schooner]

do we know when there will be a wipe next time

[dusk owl]

I have one friend who would definitely buy it so I think I'm good there. Thanks to those who responded!

[red cedar]

Np have fun and good luck in the dungeon

[versed warren]

What do the y and b buttons do for the Xbox controller and can they be set? I'd like to set one to rest and one to sheath

[rich oriole]

whats the pvp like? how often do you encounter other players? is there any way to play pve only?

[crimson lily]

Is the game as glitchy as it was when they switched maps?

[solemn schooner]

you encounter players quite often. And no there is no way to play pve only

[rich oriole]

ok thanks

[versed warren]

Change the mouse sensitivity from 0.5 to 1.0-1.3(that's the range I am using) I also want better controller support.

[grand merlin]

Anyone here know how cleric heal scaling works?

[manic quest]

what did the recent maintenance address?

[spark oar]

Obviously not my failure to connect to the server issue.

[distant root]

any idea why the game hangs on the blacksmith logo? doesnt seem to load at all.

[ripe briar]

Same thing here
