q-and-a

[bronze sand]

in your stash, or character tab, right below your gold count

[spiral pier]

what qualifies as a boss

[honest spear]

I up my message , veterans maybe know if it is possible ?

[bronze sand]

just checked, and apparently you can

[wind light]

how do i take my loot out to sell it?

[foggy fern]

It's saying D&D needs to be repaired, but won't allow me to and keeps generating an error code.** Does anyone know how to fix this or where I can find help with it?** It's saying it doesn't have permission to Install and is generating this code: IS-0002-DP-OS-03. I've tried doing what it says on the epic site and it's not working.

[agile oar]

is smite considered divine magic??

[chilly summit]

Does life drain work with will to get more heal?

[cursive bear]

do portals still spawn randomly? i can barely ever find any?

[stoic zenith]

Does the Druid Heal spell (with the flowers on the ground) also heal enemies?

[shut scarab]

reinstal the whole thing

[stoic zenith]

they spawn on pre-destined spots now, you can see them by blue cracks in the floor

[empty vale]

How the hell do you kill druids, they get low and then they run at the speed of light in the stupid jaguar form and just disappear, all while healing up???

[silk mica]

why cant i find a queue in EU server

[cursive bear]

where are these pre destined spots?

[tulip hamlet]

Making the game free with an in-game premium upgrade reminds me of those apps that do the same thing, then eventually scrap that and charge people again

Also I swear this chat didn't have a slow mode yesterday

And the general chat went from 5 minutes to 10 minute slow mode.

[marble marlin]

bosses include Troll, Cyclops, Ice Wyvern, Lich, Ghost King and Skeleton Warlord

[vernal tide]

Slow mode on many of the channels get changed when the volume of messages goes up, game discussion had a really long slowmode active compared to its normal slowmode a few days ago

[marble marlin]

slowmode usually happens right after patches/hotfixes drop because of lot of people come pouring in and flooding chats. between patches its usually none or much lower

[fast imp]

do escape portals not spawn ???

[high geyser]

same, eu server seems down

[graceful badger]

What would be the fastest way for me to find players/get into a pvp fight?

[candid plover]

Does anyone know if they fixed the rat through door thing on the druid guys?

[tulip hamlet]

That's cringe. Slowmode inflation is so dumb

[woven chasm]

can you still buy the founders edition: hold the line or was it playtest only bc ive wanted that skeleton race since the playtest

[limpid acorn]

will the 4th map return and will there ever be a 4v4 map?

[tawny coral]

Will the game have local pricing in the future? I mean, game is good, but 30 dollars for some countries are way too much.

[vernal tide]

I understand both sides, but yeah I do think it is rather silly

[tulip hamlet]

Hey, want people to converse about the game? Okay cool. 10 minute cooldown.

[honest fiber]

just fought a 3 piece of 280+ GS in a <25 lobby? does it have to be UNDER 25? or is exactly 25 ok?
Full blue kits, rings amulets capes. there's no way they founnd it all in raid

[wicked axle]

there is no gear rating it is full on broken

[neat cargo]

I have finished all of my tasks anyone know when they going to add new ones?

[honest fiber]

oh, gotcha. I'll be stepping away until they fix it. I don't have the time to devote to this game to have that kind of kit all the time.

[vernal tide]

yeah, 10 minutes is way too long
given the intent of slow mode is to stop one or small groups of people from filling the chat with spam, once the slow mode gets in the way of normal conversation it starts doing more harm than good
The slowmode duration should reflect the expected rate of sending a message. An active conversation between two people I would expect each person to respond within a minute, assuming the people involved aren't doing other things in the meantime. Anything over that duration starts getting in the way of the intended use of the channel

[empty vale]

Is there a way to quick transfer items to your stash? ty 👍

[honest fiber]

shift rmb, np

[wicked axle]

yah game was feeling great until the add all gear to norms

[tawny coral]

My game is stuck in Match Making Cancel, it keeps infintely. How to solve?

[marble marlin]

run to where the spawns are/middle of the map/points of interest

[minor valley]

Me and my friend with 7 gear score cannot find a match

[hasty thicket]

did they fix account linking?

[hollow sphinx]

When do more quests open up?

[honest fiber]

been playin a while as you can see by my join date on the discord. I'm pretty upset at the current direction, but I don't blame them. I imagine IM office as spongebob's brain on fire running around. They've got a lot going on. I work full time and don't have the time to have these 300+GS runs every game, and to experience it every dungeon really clamps my chances to get anywhere.

I was very happy with the Norms of the last two wipes, but I really can't stomach going back to getting pub stomped every single match.

[coarse tendon]

did they get rid of wendigos? most of them i've seen replaced by the yeti. or did they move them to hr only?

[minor valley]

Server BR 20min no matchmaking help us 😦

[marble marlin]

usually weekly

[lavish crypt]

is anyone elses game crashing when they click the customize menu

[marble marlin]

havent seen one since the changes. safe to say they are no longer around.

[sick raptor]

@timber mist what is going on with EU matchmaking ?! please do something

[urban star]

I found one in Ice Abyss

[verbal raft]

Does anyone know if you can get uniques in normals?

[marble marlin]

! i have to go pay him a visit. after learning to kill them last wipe i was motivated to hunt more. if he hides in hell, then i shall go down there with it

[fast imp]

Are the dungeon portal spawns like signifigantly lower then before

[cursive bear]

cant

[wicked axle]

yah norms before the patch was perfect, if they wanna let people run gear they should bump it up the green. there is just nothing you can do about a 300+ score deference.

[fast imp]

i have played about 20ish games back and not a single one just keep dying to "frost" "earthquake" and "bugs" its very frustrating where are all the portals ;-;

[urban star]

#q-and-a message there is no random portal anymore. But come on, 20 game and you didn't look around for another kind of exit/look at you map and noticed the blue icon? I don't want to be rude be but there is lot of thing to learn you should look more carfully

[cursive bear]

yeah one of the most bad changes ive seen since last time i played in 2023... the main part of the games extraction needs to be portals... + the no circle closing in makes finding players also harder... just so many bad changes its insane

[fast imp]

i found exits im with a friend we are trying to extract together

[spring harness]

can i buy items without legendary status that are rare?

[urban star]

Well you need to find several exit or the boat/elevator. Or the blue stone circle for triple portal

[verbal raft]

anyone know the highest rarity you can pull from loot pile in normals?

[urban star]

Maybe legendary but I think the highest i've ever seen is purple

[verbal raft]

perfect thanks 🙂

[fervent wolf]

ANYONE ELSE GETS CRAZY RUBBERBANDING IN CRYPRS?

[regal wyvern]

can i link steam to blacksmith or naw?

[urban star]

Rubberbanding is long last issues but it's worst only soon after hotfix

[silk sand]

What stat increases healling for warlock?

[sudden mountain]

Idk where to post, but my Game closes directly after starting and the conecting... window. Someone have a fix for that?

[spring harness]

can i buy items without legendary status that are rare in merchants??

[fervent wolf]

i went solo crypts it was mad , every time theres a mob nerby , its either that they cant handle the player count or chinese gold farmer / reseters are back

[long schooner]

what should i do if the cave starts collapsing?

[urban star]

Start looking for an exit #q-and-a message

[marble marlin]

find the nearest exit and gtfo

[brittle herald]

guys cant seem to add a friend to a party, they cant find me and I cant find them?

[haughty sand]

I understand that the account linking isn't finalized or available yet, so no issues there. But should I just continue to play on the Blacksmith launcher? Or is it alright to play steam version?

[glacial steppe]

Exit blue portal still exist or its only cave or rope (shitty exit)

[marble marlin]

2 modules in goblins spawn blue portals. both are 2nd down from the top. one on the far left and on just right of center

[urban star]

Better to stick on Blacksmith i don't know if you can still link even after creating a steam account

[frank ibex]

when are they gonna fix the gamne?

[long schooner]

what stats are the best for fighter?

[urban star]

Armor, strengh i guess

[mental galleon]

any good tutorial for nightmere mobs ?>

[glacial steppe]

we can exit as 3 in the same exit ?

[urban star]

Look at "Ryan 6 days a week" channel

[burnt sphinx]

Did the new quests come out yet for this patch? I'm not at home to check.

[urban star]

Not for rope and blue stair #q-and-a message

@burnt sphinx they're released weekly, so probably next friday/sunday depend where you live

[gusty blade]

why are there like almost no quests out?

[marble marlin]

they roll out weekly to not let people get too far ahead

[edgy swift]

Does the game have crossplay between blacksmith to steam

[honest fiber]

yes it does

[glacial steppe]

arg its so shitty system i miss the zone and blue portal from beta

[urban star]

Actually it's not very different that random portal spawning on the map. It's even better because now you know where exit are it's not luck based.

[robust ember]

how to escape from 2nd floor of crypts?

[strange bay]

is there any plan for 4 player games

[vast prairie]

Portals spawn in various locations

[urban star]

Look around the room in the corner

[robust ember]

how portals look like and what time they activate? (in 2nd floor of crypts)

[glacial steppe]

but in trio it's so frustrating

[tropic summit]

I have quebon gents

[urban star]

Have you read #q-and-a message There is several exit that you can take with all your team

[royal kernel]

any update on not being able to buy redstone in the shop?

[robust ember]

how portals look like and what time they activate? (in 2nd floor of crypts)

[glacial steppe]

yes i know but in the beta the aera forced players to fight other player in the middle for blue portals it was for me 1000X time better than now

[tropic summit]

I’m trying to log into my blacksmith account but the verification code has letters but it says I can’t put letters to verify my code any of y’all know why?

[burnt spindle]

what are the gearscore thresholds for matchmaking?

[urban star]

Well you'll probably like the arena mode but this is how Dark and Darker was meant to be

[marsh kiln]

have they added accoutn linking yet?

[glad warren]

Why i get only one triumph xp per escape?

[urban star]

Within this week

[mental galleon]

how to clear monsters with wizard effectivly ? like spells are 0 dmg to mobs

[marsh kiln]

i come back tomorrow, thank you sir

[urban star]

Magic missile i quite effective but play Staff mastery and melee them is also ok. Wizard is one of the worst class to PvE there is no good solution

[smoky pasture]

Any idea if the devs will apply prices by regions?

[little pasture]

do i pick legendary adventurers cloak or wanderer attire - for tokens

[urban star]

Wanderer, if i'm right adventurer is the agility cape and this stat have been nerfed

[proven owl]

Is it possible to create a voice channel, as all of them are full ?

[serene temple]

Hi guys, any tips on surviving together? Only 1 person can go through an exit and we lose team members

[meager aurora]

Hey just returning... What happened to the Season 2 rewards? Mine aren't showing up. Anyone?

[weak plover]

Hy Guys! in South America servers cannot found a match

[cobalt walrus]

does any of you have abyss map

[urban star]

#q-and-a message some exit can be taken with all your group

[glad sentinel]

Its more of an idea for the Dark and Darker. Can they add a PVE type mode

[lethal fossil]

Hello, I bought the game a while ago, got that 50 bundle ya know, got that blue torch. stopped playing, but i really wanna get back into it because its on steam now, sad to see its not going well, but are account transfers working? or do i have to wait a bit?

[rough rock]

is there a class right now that is really dominant in solos? like when i used to play barbarian was untouchable

[urban star]

I guess Barbarian and Warlock are still really fine I guess

[meager aurora]

@lethal fossilPeople are leaving bad reviews because they don't get the entire game for free. The game is NOT P2W at all.

[shy dagger]

Is there an error going on that's turning my characfter names into the name of the class and a series of numbers? all of my characters are like that and I can't delete any of them because now the nicknames are different

[carmine jewel]

does the rope drop again after 3 minutes?

[noble oracle]

Where do i get my account link code?

[unreal turret]

Is it streamer/anonymous mode?

[urban star]

Not one use only

@noble oracle it will be available within the week we can't for now

[carmine jewel]

if i drop from the rope i'm fucked right

[fervent turtle]

Did they removed portals?

[unreal turret]

Portals still spawn, just in fixed locations in the goblin caves and crypts

[fervent turtle]

I dont see no zone nor portals

[carmine jewel]

the maps on the wiki are all outdated, is there anywhere i can go to find the map exits?

[shy dagger]

Thanks somehow turned that on and didn't notice lol

[unreal turret]

If you find a cracked rock circle on the ground, that’s where the blue portals spawn

[red phoenix]

Ops, i thought qa was Quality assurance

So, what is deepest level we can go?

[proud trail]

anyone have map of the new goblin cave exits?

[urban star]

Not yet as far as I know they're is no map up to date for now

@red phoenix Hell for Crypt, Ice Abyss for Frost cavern. The map have 2 floor. Some test were made about 3 floor map but it wasn't insane. They might work on some way to make in comeback

[prisma plinth]

whats best 1v1 class in game rn

[heavy valve]

Is eu server are still not working?

[obsidian saffron]

anyone know why alot of traders dont have quests anymore?

[urban star]

Probably Barbarian or Warlock. Rogue is really good in solo but he got nerfed a lot lately (he must still be viable tho)

@obsidian saffron Quest are release weekly at the beginning of the season. Next wave of quest should be end of this week

[plush ibex]

what is the gbmm threshold?

[urban star]

In normal less than 25 and more than 25. So full white gear or less and everything above white. For High roller I didn't tried yet but it seems there is no GBMM for now (maybe it will come back when next season start)

[plush ibex]

thank you. so what if i am 25 exactly? higher tier?

[urban star]

I don't know sry try it with base kit, nothing to lose like that

[carmine jewel]

are the maps random now?

[stuck current]

I wanted to ask you if you know when we will be able to link our accounts?

[red phoenix]

So, every map is only 2 floors?

[stray sluice]

noob here um how do we win? is it still the portals like in the old version?

[plush ibex]

ill go in at 25 and test it.

[urban star]

Goblin cave is one floor, the 2 other map are 2 floor. And trust me in this state of the game more floor would not be that great

@stray sluice #q-and-a message

[plush ibex]

25 gear score puts you in higher tier

[empty vale]

Can escape ropes be used by multiple?

[urban star]

No one time only. Look here for more info about exit #q-and-a message

[red phoenix]

Dilo working extra hours, thx dude.

[mossy terrace]

What does rep do for traders

[hollow portal]

when will ranked be available again?

[proud bramble]

are there any launch options i can use to fix the frozen black screen when trying to launch the game

[wet drum]

why did the blue stairs collapse above me when i tried to exit goblin cave? 😦

[royal wind]

is demon form good

[young pilot]

does level increase stats?

[quasi moon]

im getting integrity check failed. never installed on steam. what do?

[hybrid rapids]

if i buy legendary status do i keep it forever if so how do i make sure i don't like lose it somehow

[trim sigil]

Do adventure points work like mmr where you get matched up against people with similar levels of AP?

[frosty harness]

how the fuck is the word savage not appropriate iits been a year and i still cant use that word for my name how who thought that word was as bad as a slur

[gloomy mason]

One think, what can i do with the gold? Im playing the freee experience and i dont know what to do with the gold

[cedar girder]

has the wipe ended already?

[trim sigil]

besides getting low level gear from merchants, gold is mostly used for buying higher level gear from other players in the trade post. so as a f2p not a lot. but now you can take in the rarer gear you have found into the normal queue

[gloomy mason]

thats what i thought, thanks

[trim sigil]

Goblin Merchant gives gear of random tier levels so he's probably the best to spend your gold with as f2p

[tender mantle]

any fixes for re allocating memory problems?

[quasi moon]

wipe ended, druid and ice abyss and a couple new items added
season has not started yet to my knowledge, cant earn AP

[mossy terrace]

How does rep affect traders/what does rep do?

[quasi moon]

lets you buy better grade items (common instead of poor) and more variety of items

[urban star]

As Ynot said but it also allow you to craft item. You win affinity by doing quest. Quest are released weekly, next batch should be end of this week

[quartz mica]

any good tierlists?

[urban star]

Try asking that here #discord-help maybe they'll let you use it

[hearty shard]

is there any storage boxes similar to tarkov?

[urban star]

That's too complicated as some class are better in solo other in a team. Should be several tierlist

@hearty shard the stash but like only for ammo?

[quartz mica]

for duos pref

[urban star]

S : Barbarian

A : Figther, Cleric, Warlock, Druid

B : Wizard, Bard, Ranger

C : Rogue(B maybe he's only very bad in trio)

[plush mango]

South american server is not working. Is there any preview of it working again?

[noble harbor]

what does cleric cost limit scale with?

[urban star]

Knowledge, it's what give you memory capacity

[tender mantle]

how do i find the link code to input on steam? im on the website cant seem to find it

[urban star]

Not available yet. It should be available within the week

[dry totem]

is the only way to get out of goblin caves through the middle idk i just started playing again alot is new

[proud trail]

knowledge

[quartz mica]

waht about trios

[final forge]

That or ropes, stairs, or the blue stones that first appear as a blue crack in the ground

[sacred sandal]

is there a limit gameplay hours or calendar days after purchasing a key to get a refund?

[dry totem]

hm they appear in the ground now

[final forge]

Yea they changed it so you have to interact with it for it to pop up then the portal spawns

[young pilot]

what does an epic perfect ancient scroll do

[final forge]

It’s a quest item for one of the vendors according to some dude on Reddit so I’d stash it

[proud trail]

sell it for money at the collector

[dry totem]

i dont enjoy how the squire gives everyone a health now it makes it easy

[urban star]

S : Barbarian, Fighter, Wizard

A : Bard, Cleric, Warlock, Druid(I guess didn't tried in trio). You need one of the support with a rank S tho

B : Ranger

C : Rogue

[urban star]

#q-and-a message

[final forge]

It’s not that bad, makes it so ppl don’t die to mobs as easily and you can PVP more often

[dry totem]

what bruh

[tight topaz]

Hey so I haven't played in almost a year I think and hopped in again with some friends again and I'm so confused.
Looks like the circle is gone and now you just get dmg after some time? (Doesn't that cause for less PvP)
And how are you supposed to extract a 3 player squad without the portals? We only found these blue stairs sometimes but they seem to be rare, far apart and only let one player through?¿?
Am I missing something?

[sacred sandal]

hey guys, is there a limit gameplay hours or even days after purchasing a key to able to get a refund?

[alpine moat]

No not like the other steam games. You cannot get a refund if you purchase legend edition

[sacred sandal]

you have some locations that are not shown in the map (but I think they have the same location every run) that always spawn 3 portals

[sacred sandal]

I have bought a key to a friend before it goes to Steam (like 10 days ago).. I'am asking because he didnt enjoy the game and i would like to refund.. he played like 2 hours

[mild grove]

it says failed to connect to the server for 3 days now... any tips?

[alpine moat]

Yeah sadly that was the case for my two friends I got to purchase the game ages ago. This game is unforgiving and very annoying in its learning curve. Sadly no refund policy at all

[tight topaz]

Ohhh okay, is it stairs or ropes or stuff like that as well or classic old portals? I'll have to look into the locations tomorrow then, thanks!

[final forge]

There’s also the boat/raft, elevator, and I forgot if there’s another for more ppl to get out

[sacred sandal]

classic old portals, you have to look to some rocky floor with shining blue light.. that means a portal will emerge from there anytime..

[waxen kettle]

when do we get our rewards from last season?

[tight topaz]

Okay thank you all!

[sacred sandal]

really? are you sure? I see a refund option ticket in the website and I am able to select the "key" I want to refund.. did you try there?

[alpine moat]

Good for you if you can refund, hopefully you can get your money back! As far as in my case it was ages ago and my friends are all adults so 30$ was a drop in the bucket

[viral pewter]

When I want to list an item on the marketplace, is there a quick way to check the currently cheapest listed?

[steep lion]

Hey so I'm trying to get loot back from the goblin merchant but it keeps just saying item distribution failed anybody know why?

[urban star]

About the less PvP part, the Dev have said several time that the game never meant to be as PvP as it was, the zone was a place holder before system like we have now. I agree that right now PvP is meh; but imo it should stay lile that, people who don't want to PvP shouldn't be forced to. And a better way to improve PvP and PvE would be to add objective lile that on the map https://darkanddarker.featureupvote.com/suggestions/554235/dark-and-darkers-content-problem as it will create choke point where PvP player could find PvE player who greed for more loot

[quartz mica]

best bard music?

[alpine moat]

Are you playing solo or in group?

[urban star]

The bard is meant to be polyvalent, there is no best setup with bard. You can play him support, buffer or debuffer everything work imo.

@alpine moat Maybe it's not my main class but I feel like i'm doing ok with all song when I play him

[red lichen]

In the blacksmith launcher it shows 27k players in dungeon, and 17k in lobby, and on steam it shows a 26k peak on the game, does the launcher not show steam numbers so we have 70k playing?

[alpine moat]

Lmao I see you dont play bard Dilo . There is a "standard" of songs you equip and play and with not much flexibility since no new songs have been added

[brave trail]

if thats the case then there arent enough quests to fully level them until further notice then? because ive done all of alchemist but havent gotten any more

[urban star]

No the total is 44k with 26k on steam and the rest on Blacksmith launcher

[devout vine]

does anyone know if i download dark and darker on steam if i can transfer my iron mace onto it

[red lichen]

So blacksmith is showing total on steam and in the external launcher?

[urban star]

Yes what you see in game in the player list is the total : Steam + Launcher + Epic

[true lily]

Is the steam ver and epic going to be crossplay with the Blacksmith launcher ver?

[red lichen]

Thanks I was just curious, does it also show those on epic as well?

[sacred sandal]

yes

[true lily]

awesome thank you

[urban star]

I played only the day next to the wipe since the wipe and as I played I felt like crypt got only 2 layout now (The 2 first one on the wiki map) is that actually true or was I tripping?

[alpine moat]

If you are playing solo: Shriek (always take this one), Rousing Rhythms, Alacrity, Ballad of Courage, and Beats of Alacrity. If you have Knowlege and Music cap to spare use Accelerando. If you are playing in a Group: Shriek, all 3 self buffs, Rousing, Harmonic and Acclerando. If you are playing in a group you will need more knowledge to account for Music Memory. Once you have enough you can run most all songs, only song that is bad is Din of Darkness and Banshees howl since it takes too long to sing

[prisma plinth]

whats the best 1v1 class ingame rn

[rugged heron]

barb has been solo king for some time now therefore he prob has best 1v1

[urban star]

Barbarian I guess

[urban star]

I would love to play Din of Darkness build but the scaling is sooooooooo bad

[flat fulcrum]

why wont it let me fill in the bandages for the first quest

[noble harbor]

tell me about static exit

[opaque flower]

is it worth listing greens on the market

[empty vale]

How do you deal with druid? I can't seem to find a way to beat it, solos or groups. The mix of huge damage on the bear + additional protection from the tree dude and being able to run away whenever they want with any of the other forms feels impossible. Playing cleric.

[urban star]

#q-and-a message

[dire bison]

any plans for a way to try other classes? even one extra slot for free so we can have one character we can actually play and level with and at least another so i can try another class without having to delete my one character

[empty vale]

Buying legendary gives more character slots

[urban star]

Like stash they should allow to buy character slot with gold. It would give them an objective and solve one of the most asked feature

But yes, buy the game. It's worth it

[dire bison]

Any way to see yoru gear score? to know if im going into the normal dungeons or the unrestricted one

[hidden lantern]

Where can I find gold ore?

[empty vale]

Look at the bottom of your character in your loadout, there's a gear score value there.

[dire bison]

yeah i just want to try the other characters without loosing my current one before i pull the trigger yaknow

[alpine moat]

Scaling is good, just the song takes forever to play and leaves you vulnerable

[spiral lintel]

Any tips on how to avoid the dirt spray from cycling cyclops to the left, I'm getting hit by the dirt spray exclusively and it gets me killed

[neon mirage]

where is stone graves a in goblin caves?

[bleak quartz]

Consider creating multiple Steam accounts.

[ionic pewter]

anyone know how to find Link Code to Link my account?

[urban star]

Isn't it like 0.12 attribute ratio? That mean " Magical power bonus x 0.12 " and also that you need 10 additionnal damage to deal 1 more per tick

[keen wigeon]

Can you link blacksmith to steam yet?

[long wigeon]

does sun and moon apply to the druid who equips it for the magic power and vig, or only teammates

[urban star]

Druid and team

@keen wigeon Not yet, within this week

[keen wigeon]

Thank you

[long wigeon]

does the druid only deal magic dmg w dreamfire

[proper sundial]

is there a way to add someone as a friend by their character name?

[spark glade]

how do you make a voice channel?

also which stat helps with spell recovery

[vast prairie]

Knowledge

[safe widget]

i played the wipe before last and earned most ranked rewards. i logged in this wipe and i dont see them. how do i claim them?

[opal violet]

will they release quests for the armorer and weaponsmith? and if so, any idea when?

[opal violet]

view the previous season, redeem

[urban star]

Yes more quest are coming. Probably end of the week like friday/saturday

[opal violet]

siiick ty

[past wadi]

is there any difference runing dark and darker on either blacksmith, steam, or the epic games store in terms of performance?

[urban star]

I don't think so

[safe widget]

i just realized i deleted the characters i did that on. i can only claim the skin rewards on them?? i just wanted to change the name of my class character L(

[urban star]

Try asking here #discord-help if you can get your character back? They might be kind if it's possible

[past wadi]

thanks

[ionic jolt]

What happens if your link your blacksmith account on steam version? Can you still use the blacksmith launcher?

[lethal stratus]

So I am confused. If I install the free steam version and log in with my account, it will be a normal, paid account? I can stop using the blacksmith launcher now?

[nocturne robin]

what are these 20 rewards tokens for in class tab??

[fathom oasis]

okaaay!!!! i bought game from site!!! should i do smhtng about steam?? like redownload from steam or add game to steam or nothng needed -im fine and pkay with others game owners????

[grim cairn]

If it wokred like the past randomly rolls a blue rarity gear drop

[olive scarab]

what is Gjermundbu? when i try to equip a race ?

[minor hollow]

How can you reach inferno in ice map?

[mental carbon]

Yes, the quests are time-gated through the season. Every week or so new quests come out. It would be nice if they were more explicit about the timer for the quests. I think it's overall a good mechanism. It stops the binge players from advancing too fast in comparison with casual players, and it spreads out the progression to keep people coming back every week.

[marble marlin]

It’s usually Wednesday/Thursday for quest patches. Obviously not confirmed though

[charred spade]

how are people getting gold coin bag if rewards are locked?

[carmine jewel]

can someone explain how physical power works

[vast prairie]

adds % phis damage the best place you can see it explained is the dark and darker wiki on spells and guns

[bold plank]

If a stairs are red on the map do they turn blue later or is that just always locked?

[charred spade]

always same color , blue escape , red hell

[nova mango]

Haven't played for a long time and currently I have 2 questions. What does fame do, and what happened to the skill tree system they wanted to implement?

[grim cairn]

fame just player rep aka if you been good person or a teamkiller, skill tree not sure but maybe it got fused into training thing that still underworks?

[young creek]

I've seemed to create an account without connecting to the account i already bought, is there any way to do this after or am i outta luck?

[tender flint]

That’s not fame, fame is just your cumulative levels over each wipe/season. You’re thinking of the karma system

[night prism]

are portals going to come back? not really able to enjoy castle anymore

[tender flint]

There’s static portal spawns all over. Once you learn them, escaping is a cake walk

[grim cairn]

recommend checking the map people been making for blue portal spawns https://darkanddarker.map.spellsandguns.com/map/Crypt-01-N

[lethal stratus]

i started a game with gear score 25, in my lobby are people with gearscore nearing 100? is this intentional?

[grim cairn]

yes if you want protected matchmaking be under 25

[night prism]

white and grey gear Doesn't affect gear score anymore either

[grim cairn]

they still do just by like 1 or 2 points now

[tender flint]

Yes they do. It’s just not a lot. Only utility white and grey items don’t

[final forge]

@night prism yea it does, that’s white rings that don’t

@lethal stratus they can find items in the stage too which will increase their gear score. As can you

[kind mica]

why is druid animal form so weak?

[grim cairn]

panther and bear still do good damage?

[kind mica]

no

[reef hawk]

Are the queues for matchmaking infinite in south america? Or are they just longer?

[kind mica]

and u lose way to much health in animal form

[quiet isle]

Can someone tell me what part of the game is behind the „30$ paywall“ i played a little bit but iam not sure if i want to continue if the game just stops progression at some point.

[steel kraken]

is it possible to move characters on the character list? I want my favorites on the fist page.

[civic hinge]

Do I have to submit a ticket if I was false banned or just wait?? Just updated and saw the announcement

[vague olive]

Is like most of the game leaving one at a time? cuz i hate leaving my bros behind

[timber trellis]

No there’s group extracts on every map, blue portals spawn in 3’s so your whole team can get out at the same time

[vague olive]

all ive done is use one use stairs

[timber trellis]

You can find blues in 3’s on goblin caves and crypts, but Ice caverns has 3 group extracts, 2 of them are rafts that your team can jump onto and the last one is an elevator you can take at the top-center of the map

[strange turtle]

anyone know when we can claim last seasons rewards? ice walker skin etc

[vast prairie]

Just wait but a ticket could never hurt

[civic hinge]

Thank you

[astral sphinx]

queue in asia broken

[rich widget]

u cheated bruh

[digital eagle]

can we link to steam already?

[restive glade]

how many people enter a solos run?

[dark badger]

Can goblin merchant still give named weapons?

[strange turtle]

im pretty sure its just high roller/ranked. im not sure if maybe quests are limited as well

[rancid palm]

Anyone gotten the rewards from last season?

[hybrid jacinth]

Is there like a mod or customer support email that I can reach out to in regards to updating my game account's associated email? Kinda at a loss, the website FAQs that it's not currently supported but who knows when that was last updated vs the active discord community we have going on here.

Tldr: Had my account linked to a student email that's since been deactivated and returning to the game realized the website and launcher both want to have me verify a code sent to the email that no longer exists.

[undone solar]

where do i use ingots

[empty vale]

Does better standing with the merchants allow you to buy better items?

[honest stream]

is there a fix for a rubber banding issue ?

[jagged juniper]

what is the point of druid having two shapeshift memories?

[grim cairn]

maybe they'll add in more transformations later

[undone epoch]

are crossbows considered bow-type weapons?

[ionic hinge]

Is there a way to get the founders edition after having bought the standard edition?

[snow imp]

q: where is the cave altar?

[ionic hinge]

yes

[rose wigeon]

for druid spirit mastery which spells count as spirit magic?

[final palm]

pretty sure its the green ones.

[ionic hinge]

all of them

[rose wigeon]

they are all green. the more vibrant green(like natures touch) or the brownish green?

[final palm]

@ironbuzz says its all spells, i havent checked.

[stable thicket]

how do you craft now that none of the shopkeepers really have quests?

[ancient dawn]

can your squir get the new shield

[final palm]

Crossbows do NOT count as bow weapons my brother

[ionic hinge]

you have to get the items in the matches through mining and gathering

[stable thicket]

I mean like I have wolf pelts and a troll pelt, I can no longer craft the coin bag?

[final palm]

The crafting tabs are unlocked as you finish quests for merchants, so as of right now you can't until the quests become available

[ionic hinge]

oh, yeah i have no clue

[stable thicket]

Do we know why they just disabled 90% of the quests?

[final palm]

Every wipe they sort of tweak them and stuff, but i think its just to slow peoples progression a bit. Same thing happens every wipe so far, they roll the quests out every few days

[snow imp]

Where are the cave altars?

[woeful basin]

When buying extra stash space is it shared between characters like the legendary account stash, or is it per character?

[nocturne flint]

It's per character

[final forge]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E5Anhgt_Z6t3FfYMEv33Ad7P1fqEYEexNl0eVJf4YQo/edit#gid=0

Ctrl+F wherever you spawned and then from there you should be able to get to the cave altar

[summer idol]

Is there anything better to store gold in than the purses

[frosty harness]

ya uh where the fuck are the exits

[summer idol]

blue stairs on the map

[grim cairn]

@summer idol there gold bags and chest, can find them by going into red portals or player trade marketplace

[frosty harness]

ya i tried making my way over to one but it keept being a dead end and i could never reach it

[summer idol]

ahh cool thnx 6k gold though for the only one is wild

[grim cairn]

the blue exit icons generally open up around 4 or 3 min mark on the map

[frosty harness]

and is anyone else have a issue with not being able to alt-tab mid game it just brings the in game cursor to my other monitor then when i close that game it frezze every thing on my monitor i had the game runing on

[frosty harness]

i saw the stairs they had now way to get to

[grim cairn]

if you get to the stairs and its caved in it means someone has already used that exit got to find another one

[edgy leaf]

okay gamers i bought dnd on the launcher and have recently installed it on steam, how do i link my steam account with the purchased version ty!

[grim cairn]

Options>Platform, if you were just looking to upgrade to the legendary edition you could had done that in game on steam

[agile loom]

is there a sort inventory feature in the stash window?

[edgy leaf]

first time opening on steam says i need to link it before i do anything else

[cunning bronze]

are teams able to extract together now or is it one man per extract?

[frosty harness]

when will the game add a setting to chosses which mic i want too use its been a year and still havent added this

[snow imp]

How can I tell?

[edgy leaf]

i see cant link platforms yet

[white compass]

is there any fix for right click bugging out gameplay completely?

[grim cairn]

@agile loom No sadly got to do it yourself

@edgy leaf from what I understand that doesn't work tho if you want to wait for someone else to give a clearer answer

@cunning bronze there are team extractions there the Lift in the middle for Goblin Cave, Boat and Lift in the Ice Cave, Blue Portals for Castle

[final forge]

Look at the bottom of your map when you’re in-game. It will tell you the name of your current location

[dry totem]

Why is my bow left handed now

[grim cairn]

nimble hands does that

[runic fable]

yo when the cyclops starts banging the floor and boulders fall down how many times does he do that shit lmao he did it like 10 times till my trio died

[nocturne flint]

You have to dps while it's doing it

[spring bluff]

so in the trio map, if you find stairs can only 1 person leave with them?

[final palm]

correct, there are static 3 person portal spawns which look like a blue rune circle on the ground, or the lifts/elevators allow more than one person

[spring bluff]

rip, where do elevators/lifts normally spawn?

[final palm]

Depends on the map, but theyre a blue square on your minimap. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E5Anhgt_Z6t3FfYMEv33Ad7P1fqEYEexNl0eVJf4YQo/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[stable thicket]

Really only found on GC and Ice Cavern

[spring bluff]

just ditchged my teammates on accident lol, and what happens when the timer hits zero in the frost map

[fringe light]

you freeze to death

[snow imp]

yo how do i get to crypt?

[grim cairn]

wait for it to be the chosen map in the dungeon selector

[eternal magnet]

Can I play with FTP accounts or is it 2 separate servers?

[grim cairn]

all the same server only thing f2p locked out of is High roller queue

[eternal magnet]

thanks!

[jade steeple]

anyone know how to unlock door beyond the first locked door after boss? It is the door next to the mythic chest, cant figure it out. Locked just like the first one.

[stable thicket]

in goblin cave, you need to defeat the cyclops and the troll to unlock the second door

[snow imp]

so I just finished a quest, and do i get affinity? how do i get access to more gear from the said merchant?

[grim cairn]

your squire will get more gear to pick from as you do more quest

[untold fiber]

how does goblin merchant recovery service work

[snow imp]

I just completed, 2 is it instant for my squire or does it take time

[grim cairn]

After the last person in the dungeon leaves whatever left equipped on your body will appear in there for a price of course

@snow imp its instant

[snow imp]

in base gear?

[grim cairn]

yes

[marble marlin]

when both the cyclops and the troll die those doors open. theres a middle room between them

[snow imp]

is there a way to track the levels of gear? i just did 2 and i barely noticed a difference

[sharp crown]

WHAT'S ARMOR RATING

[grim cairn]

Grey<White<Green<Blue<Purple<Orange

Squire gear will always be grey

[brazen summit]

Hey, not sure if asking here is the right spot, or if there is other proper channels to go through. but will they be adding the payment for Legendary edition/standard not squire to steam or will it always be through the game and system? just curious cause USD price is rough for my conversion rate

[turbid herald]

when someone dies, what is the red skull thing by their name on the top right ?

[lethal fossil]

what race do people usually run for barbarian

[shadow sparrow]

is it just me or the matchmaking is kinda long i wanted for 30 minutes

[covert pebble]

when are we able to claim the leaderboard rewards from last season?

[quartz mica]

can ftp not play highroller?

[fallen burrow]

i have a silly question. i havent played since the first several play tests. do you still escape via portals?

[lethal fossil]

yuh

[grim cairn]

There portals and Solo exits and a few team exit points now, Solo Exits are label blue on the minimap

[fallen burrow]

i heard in passing its ropes now, and idk if i was being messed with. thank you all 💜

[umbral rampart]

Ropes, stairways into nothing, platforms is all I have seen so far

How do I make game suggestions to dev? I would like to see greens usable in normal dungeons, rare and above for HR, because greens into HR is just a waste of 100gp at the rate you quickly get ganked. But I don't know where to get that to devs, though it's probably been suggested already, I don't understand why it's not already like that, or something between normal and HR would be nice.

[burnt creek]

did you find a way to quickly find out?

[vast prairie]

nope

[final palm]

it's been suggested by hundreds of people, the point of "normal" mode is to keep EVERYONE on very similar gear and stats, you're kind of right that greens are borderline useless atm, but before normal mode was in the game lots of players quit before they learned how to play because they would get shit stomped by teams that took 0 damage and one shot them. Even a full green set is a huge buff over greys and whites. It would be cool to see a green/blue queue but that would just split the playerbase even further

[grim cairn]

think they should had made normal mode rarity cap to blue, while keeping a protected GS of 25 or 30. kinda silly seeing some people in purple or oranges in normal queue

[final palm]

you'd still run into issues of people queing with whites getting into fights with full blue gear teams with 75% PDR and getting steamrolled though

[grim cairn]

you do know we currently have the protect GS right now of 25

[final palm]

yep yep, but doesnt even like the lowest gear score of greens take you over 25 anyway? i havent really payed attention

[grim cairn]

nope I'm running two greens and still under 25 currently at 21 if your curious

[final palm]

i mean im not against that idea, i think having gs under 25 or even 30 while taking greens wouldnt be a huge issue

[grim cairn]

ya idm the GS limit thing lets people play with a few pieces while not running into the wild west, still think the wild west limited should had been blues not oranges

[compact birch]

is the frost skeleton available

[final palm]

ive never seen anyone with oranges in normal queue, that being sad i only played normals for like 5 rounds

[wheat kite]

can u link your game to the steam ver.?

[grim cairn]

Options>platform features not in yet

[grim cairn]

seen orange neckpiece and purples, alot of purples.

[tulip hamlet]

Just change message to skip the wait, EZ

[final palm]

true... well thats one of the reasons the devs kept it at whites only, people already taking advantage of new players and getting some pub stomping in

[grim cairn]

ya why I rather have the wildwest be locked ot blue at least, full green suited person can at least challenge them

[lament cradle]

why does my game keep "failing integrity check"??

[final palm]

try launching blacksmith as admin, right click, run as administrator

[lament cradle]

thank you, but also im sorry, how do i do that?

[lament cradle]

ty <3

[worn narwhal]

how do you claim leaderboard rewards from last season?

[final palm]

go to leaderboard on the character you used, up the top change the drop down boxes to the previous season and the right map queue

[worn narwhal]

i did and it says rewards locked?

[woeful basin]

Is there a way for me to gift a legendary status to my friend on steam w/o them having to reset their progress and make an account on blacksmith to redeem the code?

[worn narwhal]

all i see is rewards locked

[grim cairn]

steam gift them 30 USD to their steam wallet so they can buy the upgrade

[final palm]

season #2 is locked season 1 should be able to claim

[worn narwhal]

why is season 2 locked?

[woeful basin]

I can’t do that due to us having different regional currencies, he’s NZ and I’m US

I just don’t wanna have to ask him to reset his progress and such but idk how I could gift via steam

[worn narwhal]

we just completed season 2? would think we could claim our rewards

[grim cairn]

kinda sucks have you tried the Wallet code thing? can't link the steam help page about it since its blocked here

[woeful basin]

I’ll give it a shot

[final palm]

yeah i dunno why season 2 is locked still

[grim cairn]

XD well then guess 25GS was the perfect amount then?

[urban star]

Can you explain how? Fine cuirass + plate pants boots glove + pointy nose head + 10% armor perk?

[final palm]

nope, if your going for 75% pdr play high rolller

[iron lark]

guys, someone else game is getting error when you guys try to install/update??

[grim cairn]

wait is that at 25 or below 25, because if your at 25 your in the wildwest

[urban star]

I know i'm asking how did you get 68% in less than green gear? Do you go up that fast with white plate gear?

[indigo dragon]

Hello Adventurers, I got a green Helmet in Solo and cannot wear it. It says it is for Fighters and I am a Fighter. So why I cannot wear it?

[urban star]

Are you playing the Slayer perk (Or the other one about dual welding) is restrict figther to wear plate armor

[final palm]

you can take greens blues purps etc in now as long as your gs is under 25, as in you get into the Newbie queue with under 25 gs

[urban star]

Ok so they nerfed that much how "expansive" in gear score more than common gear is then. Because because with the old gear score system 25 was very low, a single blue piece with all junk was probably already above 25

[high flax]

It was not, as each gear slot is weighted differently. Took blue occultist boots and a green glove and was still under 25 iirc

[final palm]

=

[urban star]

Really, before the last hotfix? Ok I never tried to play with gearscore before but i got the feeling it was hard to go that low with colored gear

[compact birch]

how do you get the frost skeleton race

[sudden moss]

How many people are there total in a match?

[high flax]

@urban star yeah, weapons are the heaviest weighted items, but boots and gloves are fine from my experience

[urban star]

Ok, thx you both. I'll give it a shot. But i feel like it's really bad that we can bring more than white gear in under 25 new player are going to get stomp by people who do stuff like 75% pdr and shit like that

[final palm]

i do not condone taking 75% PDR into the newbie lobby in any way. if you do this, you are a beta

[high flax]

It is literally impossible to get over 40% pdr with a 25 gear score. I have no idea why they made the dumb 25/25+ lobby system, but oh well. They'll make it better over time

[golden comet]

Does anyone know how to fix "Update integrity check failed. Please try again." I can't log into the game. On blacksmith launcher

[harsh sorrel]

anyone know how to fix a timers stuck on 1:59?

[grim cairn]

mhm I would like newbies to have a place to fool about in without being clubbed, and for those not trying harding to have a place to play too XD

[vast prairie]

True but that’s kinda the point

[urban star]

Well @final palm was saying he hit 68% under 25 gear score and could do better so yes it is

[vast prairie]

Does that include divine protection and bark skin?

[high flax]

As soon as I leave I'll test it out with my fighter

[urban star]

Ask him but i don't think so, bust the figther perk fir more armor

[shy remnant]

damn this game is hard as hell solo

[high flax]

What class was he on his 75% pdr build with under 25 gear score?

[dense lance]

I'm looking at a lantern with +4.1% memory capacity bonus, when does that effect take place? when the lantern is equipped or also in-hand?

[urban star]

Figther

Ok ok, i understand better now, but still it's very high

[final palm]

deleting all the comments so i dont give neanderthals the wrong idea

[grim cairn]

fair enough thanks for testing

[urban star]

Yes good idea, don't i wont do stuff like that i'm just curious how it's possible

[bronze crypt]

Dumb question. Before you head into a game. You equip your character. You then want to see how the items you equipped effected your weapon damage. You go into stats. Your character (regardless of the fact both main hand and off hand are equipped) is sitting there with fists out when your looking at the stat page. Can I make it so I can see how weapon damage is effected?

[undone turtle]

Not a dumb question.

No, you can't do that.

[delicate yew]

How do you activate the 3rd skill of the animal form?

[grim cairn]

you can do the math if your willing to break out a calculator
https://darkanddarker.wiki.spellsandguns.com/Damage

[urban star]

Left click / Right Click / E

[undone turtle]

The effect takes place when you have the lantern out. Spell capacity on lanterns is useless, because you can't cast a spell with a lantern out, so you don't benefit from the bonus.

[delicate yew]

E activates the wild skill?

[urban star]

Yes, rush for the panther, eating worm for chicken, damage boost for bear and speed boost for rat 👍

[delicate yew]

Bet. You’re a life savior !

[static yarrow]

is there a way to change your characters name? i dont want to lose my fame. if not i think we should add something maybe it costs blue shards idk

[wary shale]

Noob question, can you craft armours still if so how? also is it possible on f2p

[undone turtle]

No, you can't change your character's name once created.

[undone turtle]

The game does have armor crafting, but it's unlocked after doing armorer quests. Those quests are unlocked for us yet, but I think they will be by the end of this week.

[wary shale]

amazing, thanks bro

[placid turret]

why do i get the same crypts map every game i need to visit the barracks and old tomb but instead every time i get the prison b map

[urban star]

Your unlucky bro

@undone turtle I knew it! I'm sure he did the same thing for those people who needed only 2 more beer before the wipe

[undone turtle]

SDF is personally monitoring your game, and is pulling the strings to screw you over specifically.

[grim cairn]

either ultra unlucky or could be some maps are locked to team sizes?

[flint dragon]

Does anyone have any tips with pvp as the rouge? I never feel like I can hit people even with the rapier.

[placid turret]

literally after complaining i get it ive been playing for about 5 hours through out the day

[muted seal]

anyone know how to link accound to steam from blacksmith?

[placid turret]

😂 💀

[urban star]

Complaining is always the good solution, the why everyone do it all the time in this Discord

[grim cairn]

#rogue would be your best bet

[brittle orbit]

Why are there no items showing up for merchants to craft?

[flint dragon]

Ok thx

[agile rampart]

where is old tomb location ?
dungeon type: the howling crypts
quest of treasurer

[tawny coral]

where can I get more roles in this server?

[placid turret]

of course i die after wards 💀 😭 I pleaded for my life

[urban star]

You'll get it dude, good luck 👍

[grim cairn]

id:customize

[tawny coral]

ty, i would never see that at the top

[undone turtle]

Oooo we got a fighter over here

[edgy leaf]

are oceanic servers down atm?

[bold scaffold]

Can I refund DnD?why would I have payed 40euro when its free now....

[grim cairn]

paid version still has access to f2p doesn't, like the market place and HR queue, character slots

[urban star]

#q-and-a message it's not really free, it's more a trial

[dense lance]

The class incompatibility was exactly what I was thinking lol, thanks

[undone turtle]

hah hah. Yeah. Just remind yourself that JUST because a stat is on a piece of gear, doesn't mean it's useful to you 😃

[agile robin]

has anyone found a fix to the "transfer is not possible to an account with payment records"?
Been searching through the search bar and I have found zero solutions. Tryna help my buddy out.

[weak inlet]

sorry to be another new person asking a billion questions, i just can't figure out or find information on how to craft higher rarity/quality potions. was curious, the only recipe in the alchemists Service tab is for making uncommon potions, is that just unlocked by completing quest eventaully?

[spark meteor]

YES

[unreal turret]

Yep, new quests will come out weekly. Quests unlock crafting recipes with the merchants, as well as additional gear for the squire

[weak inlet]

okthanks! im sure this is like, the hundreth time someones asked, i did check through a search for information on potions just, didnt look back far enough i guess

[distant verge]

is there a dev around atm

[young pilot]

does potion of luck last entire run?

[urban star]

Except if you go to a 2nd floor. The effect last 1 floor. You can drink when you make it to Hell or Abyys tho

[final forge]

chill this is #q-and-a

[jovial mulch]

how do you escape now?
do blue portals still appear?

[final palm]

sure do, you'll notice blue circles on the ground around the map, 3 person escapes will spanw there, theres also the lifts and ropes, which are blue on the minimap

[urban star]

[lofty magnet]

Has anyone been able to find Prison B?

I've gotten the same crypts map 10 straight

[urban star]

It's only on one of the two layout, full south near the middle

[jagged jolt]

are there any restrictions as to what can be put int he shared stash?

[urban star]

I don't think so

[lofty magnet]

are both crypt maps in the rotation? I have not seen the circle map once

[ripe kayak]

what is the best base gear item for quickly casting spells

[urban star]

Same I don't think all 6 layout are available now. i felt only the first two was available now

@ripe kayak Stuff with knowledge the purple robe, Rawhide glove, occultist boots, the black light pants

[grim cairn]

@placid turret seems to be only finding it if you want to ask him

[violet lily]

is there a good resource for mining/finding ore?

[sharp crown]

how do i get bluestone shards fast

[marble marlin]

extract alot

[safe escarp]

how can i get other spells

[marble marlin]

class tab>spell tab. beyond that you cant

[steel sonnet]

Is there a way to matchmake for teammates or will going in trios always make me end up solo

[forest yew]

ANYONE KNOW IF POTION CHUGGER IS WORKING?

[urban star]

No auto matchmaking you can look at the LFG channel on the discord to find mate (Look at the top of the Channel list you have a "Role and channel" tab, here you can add the lfg channel you need)

[marble marlin]

you will always go in solo if you queue in solo you can use #lfg-northamerica or whatever your region is

[urban star]

Yes it work. Look here for more detail https://darkanddarker.wiki.spellsandguns.com/Barbarian

[proper rover]

Why do i need to be smart to drink a potion

[marble marlin]

because landmine barbs arent fun

[lime swift]

Hi, my real given name is Ghassan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghassan_(given_name)) and I go by that username (or GhassanPL) everywhere online nowadas, and I've had this problem before - my name is apparently "not appropriate" as an account name; I've never seen a developer address this issue before, so I doubt it'll happen in this case, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask - is there any way I could use my real name (or a variant of it) as my account name?

[grim cairn]

probably the auto filter looking at the word "ass" in your name
had another friend with the issue and he runs by the name Draper

[lime swift]

Yes, that is the issue in these cases

[urban star]

Ask about it here #discord-help they might be able to help you about that

[lime swift]

@urban star According to the message in that channel: "We do not handle billing, or Dark and Darker account related issues. Do not provide any personal information including but not limited to name, address, email address in tickets, only character names!" - this sort of implies it won't be of much help

I guess my older, alternate nickname "Kronikarz" is not appropriate as well for some reason, even though it's just a normal Polish word... https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kronikarz

[grim cairn]

are you typing in the name without any speical characters? just plain english ones?

[lime swift]

@grim cairn Yes

[void copper]

Asking again cause it's yet to be answered. Are common Phantom Flowers even a thing? I can only find Uncommon ones in the dungeons

[urban star]

Didn't find any too, but i haven't play that much since the patch, i wasn't home this weekend 😭

[void copper]

Since June 9th there have been at least 5 reports (Including mine) about the scarcity or lack of Common variety Phantom Flowers in the dungeons. It's a shame too, cause I was looking forward to crafting Protection Potions

[urban star]

Yep, they'll probably balance that in a future hotfix. For now they're struggling with more important problem! Let them cook and trust them

[lone hemlock]

I only have one question why is a gold coin pouch considered unique I was extremely happy to hear that they added up to legendary equipment to the game but why not the coin pouch it’s literally all I wanted to save on inventory space

[steel sonnet]

Is there some kind of difficulty tier list somewhere? I’ve been playing fighter but want to try something different that is still somewhat beginner friendly

[gentle jolt]

does upgrading to legendary status work on steam rn?

[jagged crystal]

when does the next season start?

[gentle jolt]

few months, I think one just started, idk how long seasons are

[pulsar sorrel]

Is it too late to get rewards from season 2?

[keen fulcrum]

there is no teir list

[final palm]

barbarian is easy, smack stuff in the head

[prisma plinth]

whats the best 1v1 class rn

[grim cairn]

fighter ranger barb are consider pretty easy to learn

[grim cairn]

druid probably?

[plain trout]

Does anyone know if there going to make the game time longer trying to loot kill area bosses and find an extract for 3 people time goes waaaay to quickly

[grim cairn]

the team extractions spawn at fixed locations so if you know where they are can always plan a path towards it

[plain trout]

Ahhhhh there not random spots then il have a look online to see where I can find them. So many times we die to the timer running out hunting for a portal

[grim cairn]

https://darkanddarker.map.spellsandguns.com/map/Ruins-01-N

here a map if it helps abit

[plain trout]

Thank you

[atomic carbon]

Hi, is the cross platform (steam- epic- blacksmith) coming soon ? Any release date ?

[grim cairn]

game already has crossplay, if your asking about account linking that in the works.

idk this game been in EA since 2022

[atomic carbon]

Oh really ? Cool ! Yes I used tu play since last alpha test but I had à break on this game few month ago… just wanted to play it on steam now and introduce some friend on the f2p mode

[tacit raven]

so if ur f2p and chose a character, can you still change it afterwards or do you need to wait til the end of the wipe?

[frank trench]

You can delete it and create a new one

[tacit raven]

alright thanks g

[rancid anvil]

yo what are the blue torches on the map in dark and darker

[night granite]

@rancid anvil dark blue torches are normally around an exit. players also have cosmetic appearances to torches that can change the color ifyou are finding some on the ground. the torches light up when the exit is available.

[tacit raven]

is there any advice on the classes heard most people complain about druid and warlock but have no idea wheter the others are good?

[grim cairn]

there all good just druid being the new class is abit overtune

[grim cipher]

where are the seasons rewards

[humble rose]

Is there an FoV option I missed anywhere

[plain canopy]

Is there a cap on how much magical healing you can have as a warlock or does every point on all gear count?

[young kettle]

Does anyone have a fix for the memory allocation rendering source problem? 😦

[valid turret]

Getting a update itegrety check error with new update... Anyone having issue or seen? Please help

[odd hemlock]

do you think they will ever implement a dou/party fill for people who dont always have people on?

[vernal tide]

You can always take a look at the Gathering Hall
while not automatic, it is a place specifically for finding randoms to fill in with

[odd hemlock]

yeah

[young pilot]

how do you pull out your fist even with full loadout?

[grim cairn]

default is V

[crude pasture]

are east servers down or smth? cant get in to a game!

[loud violet]

Does second wind have a cooldown?

[noble wagon]

does anyone know how to get founder on steam?

[little chasm]

Can devs delete this shity map for kill 5 hell dogs and 1 centour? its crazy for solo player.. unfair

[fathom crow]

Its single use so you have to refresh it with a campfire

[odd hemlock]

what map?

[little chasm]

hell

[grim cairn]

normally suppose to be going down there with full set of green or parts of blue, since that map has higher rarity gear drop generally blues+

[odd hemlock]

do you need legendary status for that map?

[grim cairn]

no just go down a red portal/exit

[little chasm]

still kind of hard for solo players immo, they shoudn't force us to play it for progress quests..

[humble rose]

Is there no ring anymore? Just a global damage timer?

Seems scarabs sometimes either hurt alot or not even noticable

[grim cairn]

as the match gets closer to ending it'll add dot effect then when it hits zero instant death, if your asking for escape zones? there shatter across the map at fixed locations, other wise there is no safe zone from the DOT

[humble rose]

Yeah, but there is no safe area?

[humble rose]

🫡 Cheers

[median osprey]

Hey guys, my BlackSmith client is not installing my game. Tried a million times with fresh installs but it still outright refuses to install. Steam installs it absolutely fine. If I play on my steam account will I still be able to link my BlackSmith account later on (and essentially delete my Dnd steam account)

[grim cairn]

run the launcher as admin

[fair temple]

if i use dual wield or slayer as a fighter does the perk work with two handed weapons?

[spice light]

didnt work

[dreamy scroll]

one of them specifically says "a weapon in each hand" but idk if they do. Only way to test them is to equip them and test a two hander on dummies while loading into a match.

[fair temple]

ok

[dreamy scroll]

You will also get a better/quicker response if you use general chat.

[fair temple]

i asked no one noticed over the save oce spam

[grim cairn]

Try #fighter generally class questions get answered in their channel

[dreamy scroll]

both of my questions were answered in general. might have to ask a few times until someone notices.

[median osprey]

thanks for the repsonse, but it still isnt working :/

[grim cairn]

can't help you much there, I don't use the launcher but the last guy who had that issue wasn't running it as admin and that fixed it for him

[dreamy scroll]

It's a unique problem. Your best option is to search it up online and look at multiple forums and pray someone has both had and solved the issue.

[median osprey]

my BlackSmith client says 0gb required, when installing from fresh. Which makes 0 sense

[dreamy scroll]

did you delete the folder where the game is installed? Sometimes you have to do a complete purge of all files from "My Documents" to "C Drive". If you've already done that then I again recommend looking at forums online. It also doesn't hurt to try to reword/rephrase your search incase someone has worded it differently.

[dreamy scroll]

and when I say "forums" I do not specifically mean Dark & Darkers forums. I mean all websites.

[covert jay]

hi, does character level matter past level 20?

[dreamy scroll]

Oh yeah one more thing, Files can sometimes be stored in "AppData" To get access to those files you have to follow this search path C:\Users\Username\AppData\

[grim cairn]

no pass 20 your just grinding for reward tokens

[hard knot]

how do you escape from hell do you need to kill the boss?

[grim cairn]

Blue Portals should spawn around the map as the timer gets lower just got to find them

[humble rose]

I be struggling with that on the first floor honestly. I didn't know the ring was removed though so that will help

[signal idol]

how do u get ur link account code

[unborn drum]

You can't link right now

[glossy terrace]

Someone can help me in this question? (Help! My Friends are New and Our Dungeon Exits are Chaotic)
https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkAndDarker/comments/1dda4tg/help_my_friends_are_new_and_our_dungeon_exits_are/

[humble rose]

Any place specifically? Previously it was in the ring around the outside and then very much towards the end of the match, the center

Now it seems like there is no guidance

[grim cairn]

If your looking for team exits, Goblin Cave has a lift that comes from the ceiling in the roof the room design is like goblin mage in the middle with 4 lift going to the lower floor

Ice Cave

There the Boat Exit that comes about every 4 mins, and a Lift to the NE of the Map that guarded by a Yeti

else you got to find where the blue portal fix spawns are recommend using the wiki map
https://darkanddarker.map.spellsandguns.com/map/Crypt-01-N

[spring marsh]

i got this issue as well

[humble rose]

So all the blues are fixed spawns now?

[glossy terrace]

Thank you Aria, that helps a bit ❤️

[grim cairn]

yes the location they spawn at is fixed now and will always spawn 3 portals

[humble rose]

And those static blues are your only way out of Crpyt, without a down?

[bright vector]

i have a few questions

i've noticed that, after a wipe, my characters were... Well, still there.

and i'm asking bc, before dark and darker got taken down from steam initially, i played it there a bit. Is it possible that the characters i had there are still there?

also, will logging in on steam and not linking the account yet to check it and possibly deleting those leftovers impact my ability to link my blacksmith account later?

(nvm i broke and checked, no leftovers from back when it was on steam. huh.)

[vernal tide]

For trios it is very important to know where the portal escapes spawn, sadly I haven't found a map of them yet so I don't know where they all are
as Aria said Goblin Cave and Ice Cavern both have group ride exists you can use as well
as for coordinating before it is time to leave, keep in mind a lot of fights against players happen in chokepoints so team comp is fairly important
its really hard to make 3 barbarians work since you all want to be in melee and will end up getting in each other's ways
having a cleric or druid is really nice when playing with new players since they can keep everyone health up since taking a hit or two while learning the mobs is pretty common

[grim cairn]

Some versions of Crypt have a infinity use stair exit tho until you learn what they look like I won't hope for it best just to look for blue portal locations, keep in mind the wiki is not up to date on all known locations

[twilit ingot]

is normal dungeons match making bugged?
I get in with 7 Gear Score to play with other no gear guys and i get stomped by purple legendary geared guys

[humble rose]

No wonder half the lobby dies to swarm damage, nobody can find how to get out

[grim cairn]

shouldnt be matched with purples if your GS before you queue in is 24 or lower

[vernal tide]

strange, can't say I've had that problem
if you're solo, it probably is broken
but if you have teammates, make sure they aren't going over the GS threshold

[grim cairn]

there decent amount of solo exits scatter across the map so worse case leave peopel to their fate

[humble rose]

If they are fixed and the map shows only three, how is there solo exits scattered?

[glossy terrace]

The blue portal locations on crypt maps are already updated?

[limpid hound]

do we know when we're getting the HR rewards from last season yet?

[glossy terrace]

ty

[grim cairn]

Wiki not fully up to date as I stated, Solo Exits generally are Blue Icons on your minimap they open around 6/4/3 min marks

@glossy terrace doesn't have all known blue portal locations but it at least has some

[glossy terrace]

Good enough! Does the elevators on goblins cave and ice map return from time to time? or only one chance to leave?

[grim cairn]

Goblin Lift will return generally every 10-30 secs,

Ice Map lift has a lever you can use to call it back
the boat tho if you miss the last one at the 4min mark your out of luck

[glossy terrace]

ty ❤️

[cursive mirage]

There's also a triple portal spawn in the prisons module in goblin caves. As far as I know ice caves only has 2 group escapes and one of them is single use. That said you can go to the ice abyss where there are a few triple portals

[urban star]

Goblin lift is like Frost cavern boat it go down every 3 min, stay down ~10 sec

[cyan fable]

Hey guys are inferno and crypt maps which are not active? I keep seeing these names in the wiki and cant really tell

[grim cairn]

inferno is the red portal map for the crypt
crypt map generally like castle/fort image in the lobby queue

[cyan fable]

so crypt is not active rn ?

[grim cairn]

its active right now, I think ruins is disabled tho haven't seen it at all.

if you looking for crypt queue wait for the one that doesn't look like ice cave or goblin cave in the lobby

at worse it'll take 4 mins to appear

[cursive mirage]

Ruins was temporarily removed while they rework it

[autumn shore]

once season 3 begins will there be another wipe?

[grim kestrel]

にほんじんのひといますか

[cyan fable]

ok and one last question why is there 4 maps for the goblin cave for example are there 4 floors?

[white magnet]

should i sell high tier jewelry (high tier for me) to merchant or can i do anything with it

[grim cairn]

not japanese but provided your question not complex I might be able to help?

日本人ではない
#japanese-チャット

@white magnet if its not wearable just sell it, if it is check to see if any of the stats on it helps your character if not sell it

[cursive mirage]

In the past there were multiple variants of maps so there was a little bit of randomness to the map. It seems all the maps only use 1 version now

[grim cairn]

I seen crypt 1,2 and 4 in game so there still in rotation

for goblin cave the game weight map 4 to spawn more often but in solo all 4 have appear for me

[cursive mirage]

I cant speak for crypts but all the other maps have been the same for me

[cyan fable]

thanks i appreciate you guys

[young sky]

Dose anyone on when Oce server will be back up?

[lofty lantern]

I can't even connect to game now in steam and it told only fail to connect to sever quit the game only.my connection is normally.I try to play another platform like blacksmith it useless.I saw Server status is nothing wrong but can't even play but 2 days ago i can play normally.

[worn kayak]

when will i be able to craft a coin bag???

[long schooner]

how can i link my account to steam?

[wintry phoenix]

What does affinity with traders do

[chrome hound]

get better products while buying from them i think

[grim cairn]

way back it increase chance of higher rarity items appearing in their stores. Now think it just effects what items they provide to the squire

[compact birch]

do you get the frost skeleton race from collectors quests?

[twilit hill]

About the new gear based matchmaking, does anyone know how it works for groups? Is it based off of highest member's gear score or the group average?

[grim cairn]

base on the highest, since the game doesn't know if that person just dropping gear for their friends

[twilit hill]

Fair, thanks

[boreal zodiac]

Hi, I just got Dark and Darker, my username is being flagged as not appropriate, and the username Pecan is unnavailable, could I possibly ask for an exception to be made for my name, its the same one I use in almost every game I play

[grim cairn]

well someone using pecan it seems just slap some numbers or letters to it since you'll run into this issue again when you create an character

[charred spade]

which day they add the new quest?

[grim kestrel]

I don't know how to buy red stone fragments (paid items). There is no reaction when I click on the screen. I want to show it in a video, but I can't send it to this discord.

[grim cairn]

If on Steam, make sure steam overlay is enabled. Otherwise buy button could be bug.

[urban star]

I just tried it and in crypt layout one I found 3 triple portal, and they all spawned. Still looking for stone circle that are "off" and don't spawn portal. I'll give it an other try

[slow coyote]

Is there any update on the account linking on how long we can expect to wait on It?

[paper lion]

yo , what can we do with ingot pls ?

[urban star]

It's coming within this week

[long schooner]

what is the best primary weapon for warlock?

[olive hawk]

i cant fill in alchemist and surgeon 1st quest. shield potion and bandage ... i have the item with the same rarity from dungeon not from their shop ... is this bug i do somethin wrong ?

[grim cairn]

has to be looted from dungeon not brought/given

Item will say in its description if it Supplied/Looted/Handled needs the looted tag

[thin crystal]

Do you start the ability to buy better gear with vendors as your reputation increases?

[quartz helm]

you can craft gear from them, but it's not available yet (probably will come later in the wipe)

[odd hemlock]

does anyones voice chat work? It seems like people dont hear me and no one else talks either.

[grim cairn]

most people have voice chat off, since its turn off by default. If you want to show your friendly tbagging seems to be the way so far but if their not friendly kinda risking it

[odd hemlock]

nah, im not woried about being friendly, i was just confused why no one uses it.

[urban star]

Yes, more quest will be release each week allowing you to buy better stuff, craft item and start with more/better gear with the squire

[frank lotus]

whats up with the locked rank rewards?

[ornate pine]

What is the best class for solo pvp?

[grim cairn]

druid

[white magnet]

what exactly is flute for ?

[ornate pine]

ty

[grim cairn]

bard for buffs, outside of that guess to style on someone

[ornate pine]

in a team, should everyone be using druid? if it is op currently. i am new lol and just found out about this game

[grim cairn]

they can if they want you, tho having like druid/bard/cleric isn't bad for buff ball

[white magnet]

how do i get merchants to make weapons higher than common, do i need to complete quests for them?

[undone berry]

how to leave dungeon?

[grim cairn]

solo exits are marked with blue icon, if they don't work it means they been used otherwise you'll have to find blue portal spawn location

[ornate pine]

To stay in the protected bracket, does my gear score need to be 24? Not 25 right

[grim cairn]

24 and lower

[noble wagon]

are serevers down

[ornate pine]

Ty, seems like a lot of noobs getting slaughtered by accidentally going over

[undone berry]

thx

[humble tundra]

is ghost king still invincible

[pale plume]

I been away for a few day and i cant seem to play the game anymore? it say "fail to connect quit game" are there any fix to this?

[odd hemlock]

it happened to me too, i deleted the game from epic, then downloaded it on the blacksmith launcher. It worked after that

[pale plume]

ah damn im using the steam version so i guess it might have been the launcher?

[odd hemlock]

probably, atleast the game isnt huge

[pale plume]

yeah

[normal temple]

what luck give me? better chest drops?

[quasi moon]

how many people can go in a static dungeon (red) down stairs?

[grim cairn]

infinity

[eager thunder]

is there an eta on account transfer?

[urban star]

Within this week

[eager thunder]

oh sweet! thanks!

[languid burrow]

Are there any group extracts on Crypts? the interactive map portals are all just stairs.

[oblique hazel]

Is anyone else on blacksmith launcher getting update integrity failed after trying to update the most recent patch?

[grim cairn]

blue portal spawns got to find them wiki currently not upto date for the crypt

[pale plume]

welp i just install the launcher ver and i still cant play so i guess i will wait til the fix it

[languid burrow]

ty aria - ive had zero luck finding portals naturally without the maps lol

[dense gazelle]

Im playing dark and darker on the blacksmith launcher and my friend is on the steam version, we can't find each other why?

[odd hemlock]

is it opening loading and then giving you the error, bc that is exactly what happend to me

[grim cairn]

Crypt 2/5 has a portal spawn always SW corner of the map outside of that i don't really remmeber the map locations for the others I found but just what hte location looks like

[pale plume]

yeah that is exactly what happen idk why it like this now

[fresh scroll]

is gold coin bag lootable i have all quest done and cant make it?>

[odd hemlock]

have you updated your drivers and restared your pc? bc i did that before i installed it aswell

[pale plume]

i did restart pc but didnt update drivers yet so let me see if it work or not

[mortal basalt]

Are there always enough portals for everyone to get out? Or do not all of them spawn every time?

[odd hemlock]

prolly not but people die before they exit, so there are usually enough i think

[winged crane]

Will more group extraction methods be added?

[robust ridge]

I’m wondering the same. Very difficult to get all the party out right now.

[undone berry]

its too difficult...11 dungeon always killed by pvp

[abstract surge]

anyone had and fixed game crash after moving items to stash ?

[dreamy yew]

In duos, if one person goes down red stairs and the other goes through blue, I assume the red player is effectively solo for the next floor, right? It doesn't drag the other player with them, I mean, yes?

[undone berry]

i think i ll unistall it soon )) i like the game but is too difficult

[dense gazelle]

Why does the matchmaking take so long?

[grim cairn]

should try playing under the 25 gear score (24 and lower) so your in the protected matchmaking

[undone berry]

10 sec...2 mummies and 1 bodyblocking skeleton

[low wigeon]

my blacksmith says purchase even tho i own the game??? Any help?

[undone berry]

i am lvl 14...how to check gear score?

[grim cairn]

when your in lobby go to stash then look at the bottom of the screen

[muted orbit]

Correct, your teammate will spectate you and they have the option to return to the lobby and do whatever they want in the menus while you keep exploring

[languid burrow]

I'm skeptical if they implemented it correctly. I've been playing default loadouts (gear score 5) and when i extract i like to spectate, just saw a guy with gear score 90 in nearly full blue with class specific stats (magical healing on warlock), so I know the chance of him picking up that entire set in game is super low...

[sweet tapir]

are matchmackin slow for you guys or just me

[dense gazelle]

I was finding for 5 mins I just gave up

[grim cairn]

are any of your teammates above or at 25 when you queue in MM uses the highest gear score to determind which queue your in

[undone berry]

i m playin solo

[languid burrow]

i'm solo queueing into trios

[grim cairn]

that sounds like suffering XD they probably are going for loot rooms

@undone berry what your gear score?

if you removed everypiece then slap on the gear the squire provides just talk to squire and go to gear sets

[undone berry]

i cant read it...i removed every piece of gear

[static snow]

is it possible to block the wyvern summoning beam with a treant?

[white magnet]

how do i get merchant to sell me stuff above poor

[pale plume]

just did those and still unable to play both the steam and launcher version ;-;

[vast prairie]

Quests

[grim cairn]

well I hope you figured your gear score MM thing since I'm going to hop off

[undone berry]

lol i ve died again )) but i ll do it )) ty 4 help

[sacred perch]

Is it possible to awaken the ice dragon boss without teaming?

[radiant schooner]

Where can I go to see when ranking/climbing the leader board starts or when the season for ranking up is enabled?

[haughty sky]

How to i fix '' failed to connect to server quit the game '' please i cannot play for a days

[undone berry]

3 hours dun no escape once

[spring harness]

which type of bow is the best rn?

[delicate flower]

depending on class? and gear, basekits are anywhere from 15-20 adding a single green item might put you over 25, trinkets like ammys and rings are the least GS intensive but a chest armor will put you over, this is atleast from my expirementing in lobby
GS value is seen underneath bag space and gold at the very bottom

[warped crater]

How do you get to the quest log?

[delicate flower]

lobby, bottom right, left most icon, or quest tab up top for each trader

[halcyon bobcat]

How do i invite my freind, it's our first time playing??

[warped crater]

ty

[delicate flower]

player list bottom right, search for them, and add friend/ invite is there with right click

[halcyon bobcat]

"player not found"

[halcyon bobcat]

oh nvm got it

[delicate flower]

All G, glad you got it! gl in your dungey

[white magnet]

do the gates(light blue things on map) refresh ever?

[muted orbit]

Exits do not refresh

[delicate flower]

raft and lift and rope reappear tho dont they?

[latent aurora]

how to buy redstone shard?

[hoary leaf]

Quick question, if you want to play with someone with the free version of the game, will i be able to take him on the high roll dungeon with me?

[undone berry]

1st dun done

[delicate flower]

GGEZ look at you go! certified dungey delver now!

[delicate flower]

shop tab up top in lobby

[velvet coyote]

any eta on when the link code is gonna be out

[urban star]

Within this week

[latent aurora]

nvm u need to turn on steam overlay

[delicate flower]

ooop? didnt know that, i just have mine on xD

[burnt creek]

I remember buying a skin last time this game was up on steam like a year ago, did I get a refund for that?

[latent aurora]

its -20fps

[delicate flower]

dont open it during matching goofy lol, but i dont have the popups on, nvr noticed a drop

[fickle glacier]

can you buy lockpicks from anyone?

[delicate flower]

i know they can be crafted somewhere, but idk if you can buy them from a merch

[little badger]

Would the devs ever consider making lobbies smaller? (Fewer players per match, but more matches goin on in parallel)

This puts emphasis more so on PvE with a lower overall amount of PvP, but still possible to come across 2-3 squads in a match.

[delicate flower]

i dont see why they would atleast for norms, atleast half the lobby dies to traps or pve atm me included 😦

[formal mason]

They could just remove the battle royale part of it.

[undone sierra]

"game region unavailable" ?

[delicate flower]

they did, zones arent a thing? atleast in norms havent tried out highroller

[sacred sandal]

what is lobby size for each category? solo, duos and trios?

[little badger]

Sorry I don’t quite understand what you mean by zones?

[delicate flower]

refering to Darmanics Battle Royal comment, theres no wall pushing you into eachother anymore just the need to escape

[dire crane]

there was a "ring" like fortnite (or other battle royals) that got smaller and smaller area to fight in; they got rid of it in the recent patch

[little badger]

Oh, yeah that was in the beta earlier. Kinda neat, but also I like it without the zone

[white magnet]

above 25 gear score i get matched with people that can have 500 gears score?

[delicate flower]

yeeep, anything goes

[nimble atlas]

how does the luck stat work in this game?

[formal mason]

really ?

[dire crane]

yep, 24 and under then 25 and above

@nimble atlas the dark and darker wiki has a graph explaining the luck stat

[delicate flower]

Yee, fewer escapes tho, if youre more than a solo youll have to split or find the static 3 portal spawns, so people sit around statics waiting for them to open up most of the time

[white magnet]

how many people is in a Solo normal game and any tips how to find them so i can improve at PvP?

[delicate flower]

i saw 8 earlier? idk the validity of that tho... and best way is to put your ear to the ground and beg for sounds or make a bunch of noise and someone finds you

[formal mason]

well i need to play again to see those changes

[delicate flower]

its been HELLLLLA fun. havent played since A#1 and it coming back to steam free reminded me of my love from ye olden days

[formal mason]

ive been push out of the games from people only wanting to grind the leaderboard and quests, i find that boring

[delicate flower]

me personally, am trying to become sweat lord xD i wanna know im good but ive been known to accept the friendly tbag and die xD but no thats fair, not everyone wants to sweat they just wanna dive and loot

[halcyon bobcat]

how to change from trios to dous?

[sacred sandal]

wait the 3min rotation time, the map will switch

[covert cosmos]

Is the purchasing of Redstone Shards alright at this time? I know there was an issue with it, has it been fixed?

[quartz helm]

how can you get the Gold coin bags as of now? I saw them being traded, but you can't craft them yet

[delicate flower]

had no issue when i got mine a week or so ago

@quartz helm Trasure sells them, 5g each for a 50 sack

[high canopy]

where can I find the rest of the loading screens?On the website there's only a few...

[delicate flower]

is there a gamemode in the game whitout the zone i realy hate BR modes or are they thinking of disableing them all allong?

[limpid dawn]

How does dungeon recovery actually work?

[void pawn]

there is no zone anymore

[swift portal]

why after every game my game exit with a message about server ? pls need help

[delicate flower]

lol fair enough, i need to watch craftables vid xD i have no clue what any of that stuff you loot that isnt treasure or gear does for you

[daring fable]

Thank you. so i can play it as long as there are no zones 😄

[delicate flower]

i dont think theyre bringing them back? unless they add a mode for that specifically, more pvp oriented than not

[latent aurora]

why the game always start with 100% volume so annoying

[old crown]

this might be a dumb question but I can equip plate gloves and boots but not chest or helm as fighter and I dont have the slayer perk equipped am i missing how to go full plate?

[undone berry]

mob bodyblocking is the most annoyng stuff

and also invisibility weakness

[vast prairie]

You can do that but typically chest piece is most helpful if you want to limit how much plate you’re wearing it’s all about balancing movespeed with pdr

[old crown]

thanks for the response. The game won't let me equip the plate helms or chest says its class restricted even when playing fighter without slayer perk.

[vast prairie]

That doesn’t sound right which helms or chest pieces?

[vast prairie]

Have you tried like dark plate armor or a barbuta helm?

[golden perch]

Hi all just downloaded steam DnD is the waiting time really taking 10 min or more?

[vast prairie]

No the OCE server is having issues right now I would try a different one

[rain flint]

How is curse duration calculated?

[golden perch]

any suggestions on what server might be good for me from SEA?

[old crown]

yeah ive tried all helms. I can send you a picture of my stash where they are all red despite saying they are equipable by a fighter

[vast prairie]

Base curse time + outgoing debuff duration then - incoming debuff duration

[marble marlin]

i would put the perk on and take it off again, and then switch characters sand then switch back. cant promise that will help but thats what i would try first

[old crown]

I figured it out lol

[queen aurora]

is it possible to merge ironmace acc to steam?

[vast prairie]

Maybe seoul

[rain flint]

since there isn't any outgoing debuff stat in the game, i assume it's the same as buff duration?

[vast prairie]

It’s just debuff duration it works both incoming and outgoing it just depends which end you’re on

[vast prairie]

Not yet should be later this week

[naive yacht]

Debuff duration is + when you cast a debuff and - when a debuff is cast on you

[queen aurora]

thanks

[ornate pine]

What are ur favourite class for goblin caves? That is solo mode right

[vast prairie]

Right now you can play solo on every map but for solo play I’m probably a fighter fan personally

[marble marlin]

maps arent specific to team size anymore. goblins used to be the solo map. i main cleric

[ornate pine]

So if I play solo, there is no way for me to play only vs solo enemies?

[vast prairie]

If you look at map selection you’ll see that there is solo duo and trio of every map- it rotates on a 3 minute basis

[undone berry]

i just get surrounded by 8 ice kbolod, 1 troll and 1 vampire

[ornate pine]

Cool thanks. I haven't played yet but am downloading it tonight

[river path]

Is there an updated map with the new escape portal locations?

[weak plover]

Hola! Alguien sabe como hago para pegar con el escudo? Se necesita un escudo especial?

[kind nexus]

Hello! If I had bought the game when it wasn't free on steam can I get the bought version converted to steam somehow?

[mossy terrace]

Eventually there will be account linking, I think they said they are trying to add it within a week

[ornate pine]

Is fighter or barbarian easier?

[kind nexus]

Sounds great! I was confused if it wasn't added yet or I was just blind haha

[warped ivy]

Does anyone know what the GBMM is set to? I heard its 0-24, 25-199, 200+. Is that the case or is it 0-24, 25-xxxx?

[marble marlin]

fighter probably. it has more new player friendly things

[ornate pine]

For pvp you recomend fighter too?

[marble marlin]

i think fighter is a good rounded character. it was a bit nerfed but its still good.

[elfin ice]

Is there's like a page for Güides on characters or just wiki

[lime oasis]

Gola

Algún español

Algún español party 90

[rough iron]

I use a gaming VPN to reduce my ping (ExitLag), but every time a game starts it loads for a long time and then disconnects me. I'm able to reconnect and play normally after, but it is a bit annoying so I was wondering if anyone had a fix.
Not using it I get a lot of rubberbanding so I'd rather not turn it off.

[lime oasis]

Estoy dolo

[slim wren]

can some1 tell me the best solo build for solo wizard for a new player?

[solemn badger]

I haven't played since the open beta way back when, I understand the circle is gone, how does the new timer work now?

[warped ivy]

when the match runs down to ~4 minutes, you start to be slowed slightly by the ice storm/bug storm/earthquakes.
when the match runs down to ~1 or 1.5 minutes left, you start to take damage.
when the match runs down to <10 seconds, you rapidly slow and die.

[odd snow]

How do I find a link code for Steam?

[trail ridge]

about the explore X, is there any sort of map I can see where I need to go, or figure out if I'm even on the right variation of the map..?
the maps online seem to be out of date

[dusky cove]

Q: Is there like a map channel so I can know where's all the extracts, I'm so new to the game which I just keep getting lost and ends up dying with the time countdown.

[glad prawn]

yo my friend downloaded the game of steam and he can't run the game error code : 23

[little badger]

Seems to be the latter

[glad prawn]

ok we found out

[urban star]

Solo wizard as a new player is the hard way of learning the game xD
For the perk : Sage, Mana Surge, Ice shield, Staff Mastery. Ice shield will help against player and will reduce the damage you take from monster. Staff mastery will help killing mob with your staff.
For the Skill : You can try meditation to begin. It's will allow you to recharge your spell quickly so it's not punishing to use them on monster or miss them. But in the long term you'll want to play with 10 spells or maybe Intense Focus
For the spell : Zap is a must have, Ignite can help against monster (and player thx to staff mastery and ice shield), Magic missile (for monster), Fireball is a must have too and your free to try anything you want for the last spell

[jovial mulch]

is there auto fill if you queue into duos/trios as a solo

[oblique hazel]

Any solution for the update integrity verification failed? I literally cannot play the game on blacksmith launcher I tried reinstalling it and reinstalling launcher

[nimble canopy]

How do I link my account to steam from iron mace?

[oblique hazel]

It’s not possible yet

[white magnet]

is there a map of what each room on each map is named?

[hasty thicket]

how to link account elp please

[vast prairie]

Not available until later this week

[warped ivy]

Yup confirmed. went in under 200, saw people with 400+.

[hasty thicket]

soo do i keep playing on steam or blacksmith?

[little badger]

Yeah it’d be neat to have tiers I think. Wouldn’t mind if the total number of teams per lobby goes down.

[vast prairie]

Which one have you been playing on?

[warped ivy]

I'd hope for 3 tiers as long as the game can retain a high player count. sub 25, 25-200, 201+

[little badger]

Seems fair

[hasty thicket]

steam for now

[burnt creek]

Why are people selling blue quality jewelry for like 160-200 gold on the market

[warped ivy]

depends on the stats. but because jewelry is free stats

[vast prairie]

Then I would probably continue

[burnt creek]

I meant the ones without stats

[jovial mulch]

how do you find duos online? is there a random queue?

[frail gyro]

what is easier cave troll or cyclops

[vast prairie]

I recommend this discord

[ornate nimbus]

Google Dark & Darker Wiki

[vast prairie]

Cyclops is easier to fight other than the rock fall phase but troll doesn’t have any mechanics like rockfall that you have to dps through so it’s kinda a toss up

[white magnet]

is there a map with locations named?

[split hedge]

I need help. I've been stuck at the loading screen for 6 hours

[tired nova]

when will leaderboard be back?

[hexed rose]

Question : That name is not appropriate : ) (kiupeka or kIupeKa) why would that be?
Update: i used k1upeKa lol

[burnt creek]

Do i just vendor rubys and diamonds and cracked jewelry to collector npc?

[dire crane]

just google dark and darker maps; theres a bunch of interactive ones (I havent seen a completely updated one yet; showing static 3 way portals yet)

[split hedge]

Hello, I am asking for help

[vast prairie]

With?

[split hedge]

I need help. I've been stuck at the loading screen for 6 hours

[white magnet]

i mean purely room names not loot or portals

[vast prairie]

Have you tried restarting the application or reinstalling the game?

[spring rain]

Is it worth playing from Steam if I'm gonna link the Blacksmith account or will it be erased once the link feature works?

[vast prairie]

I wouldn’t play steam if you have blacksmith already just in case

[split hedge]

I tried

[vast prairie]

Which loading screen? Just like after you ready up? If yes switch server

[slim wren]

thx for the tips

[split hedge]

I Sent you the image

[tight topaz]

Is the interactive map in the wiki up to date? (Are we in Patch #3?)

[marble marlin]

map is not up to date, still usable

[swift furnace]

What is fame

[marble marlin]

fame is your characters level, added to the previous season. it only appearered a few weeks ago, so last wipe+this wipe

[swift furnace]

Thank you @marble marlin

[marble marlin]

you are welcome meowdolf

[spring rain]

any idea when the link feature will be added?

[royal tusk]

is there a way to refund legendary status?
I am thinking of refund as i generally don't see the point in it now the only reason i paid was high roller which is now useless with update to me as i even get better loot in normal than i have in high roller, my friends now wont pay for the game either as its free sothey so no point which is fair and i don't go high roller at all as i mainly play with them. i only play one class and feel the trading hall is meh too.

not tryin to whine i just personally feel at the moment the purchase i made has quickly been made pointless and has no real benefits now

[frozen spear]

what is update integrity failed, i cant update the game to play it

[tight topaz]

Is there any map with all the exits?

[frozen spear]

if i want to play the game now do i play on steam and later link my account? i dont get it

[sour inlet]

how do you level the merchants/does it do anything? Ive seen people in videos from months ago have blue/purple gear in lvl 0 merchants. Is that still a thing?

[vast prairie]

Not anymore now better gear requires questing

[vast prairie]

You can either do that or get it though the dark and darker.com

[dire crane]

supposedly within a week

[frozen spear]

i purchased the game long ago on blacksmith but its no longer working. it says "update integrity check failed"

[ornate nimbus]

Merchants level from doing their quests (specifically ones that give affinity). Higher affinity gives you access to better gear to purchase, services, & better gear the Squire will supply

[formal mason]

such a bad way to do things.

[silk heart]

is the account link still not implemented

[ornate nimbus]

Should be implemented either this or next week

I am gonna hold off on the account link until I am certain it works properly

[dense pawn]

my game keeps crashing it wasnt crashing yesterday but is now crashing. i am using the black smith launcher. is anyon else having this issue?

[sour inlet]

i have done all 3 offered quests for most merchants and they dont reset... so are they just stuck at lvl0 for now? Even the ones that give rep didnt level up and dont have more quests

[balmy viper]

will there be anymore classes?

[vast prairie]

Have you reinstalled and updated your drivers maybe a scan and repair

[ornate nimbus]

Typically the 1st quest will raise the affinity. Collector doesn't really do anything. Woodsman gives you ranged weapons in squire after the campfire quest. Same will be for Weaponsmith, armorer, Leathersmith, & Tailor. If you go the the Wiki, it explains each merchant & what raising their affinity does (Info on wiki is not completely current)

[vast prairie]

Sorcerer looks like it might be the next one but that’s from a single comment from a lead dev/ owner

[balmy viper]

sorcerer? sounds like wizard with extra steps

[elder nova]

guys were can i find gold ore. i already know how to find in inferno ruby silver normally the gold should be there at the same place but that's not the case can some one help with info pls

[ornate nimbus]

Currently, gold ore is only available in the Goblin Caves in the room between the Troll & Cyclops. Both bosses must be killed to access it

[vast prairie]

Less steps actually, wizards study to learn magic while sorcerers use inate magic in a less structured form

[elder nova]

thank you you save me alot of hours

[balmy viper]

sounds cool, wonder if they will add paladin of some sorts

[vast prairie]

Right now I don’t know what a paladin would have that cleric doesn’t other than like lay on hands

[oblique hazel]

https://darkanddarker.map.spellsandguns.com/map/Crypt-01-N

no ice abyss yet

[stiff perch]

Where do I go to report a team killer

[alpine moat]

Technically not a bannable offense, you can downvote their karma. As for a future notice make sure you report while you spectate in dungeon, that’s the only place where you can

[drifting sedge]

Why can't I launch and optimize my game through Geforce experience?

[wet grotto]

You just down vote them seeing as how team killing isn’t a bannable offense I don’t think(or atleast there’s nothing in the rules that states it)

[obtuse shuttle]

Question is it possible to open the game via steam if I own a blacksmith copy?

[frozen spear]

tried that, even my friend also re-installed the game and is having the same issue
