Just bring out that ban hammer 😄
Thats the point of this room ?!
this is not a casino man
lol
guys dont be mean plz ... it is hard to discuss the game like this .. always some one flaming for what ? its just a sugestion u want more details vote 🤔 dont down vote and flame and block and troll ..
@sacred hill u are the most rude
dude they keep bringing it up, that same logic goes for the people who post about P2W
ill chill out then
just stop bringing it up in chat
So what downvote and move on
trolls are atacking me
Why u ping me and insult ?
@sacred hill @mystic skiff i hope mod mutes u two

Take 10 minutes to cool down and stop baiting other users.
They keep pinging and insulting all day…
never had a conversation with you
It’s cause your not worth his time

😂
True

Lie
lier
u have too much feelings
Why u ping and insult then ?
high estrogen
Damn, did everyone get muted or something. Where’d all the entertainment go
Hope so
we chilling
Why are we finally getting a mod to clean up suggestions but they are more full of trolls than ever before
@steady cloud and @frosty creek are spaming the suggestions like a tinder chat
@frosty creek has always been a annoying troll
Also probably 7 by the way he talks
@steady cloud is just obsessed with p2w games for some weird reason
must be a mobile gamer
Ever met someone with lots of money?
Yes?
Man... in this life.. you have to live and let live
He admits to spending 10k
On games
why do people with a fortune always play the worst games, like some mobile kingdom builder or something
Yet he’s not self aware enough to understand why it ruins a lot of games. And the ramifications of being a whale in mobile games?
people who play games dont need to throw fistfuls of cash to have fun. people who are incompetent use money as a way to find fun since they cannot compete on an even field
DnD is a dev passion project not a cash grab.
Based.
more money spent does directly equate to more fun though
yes
if i was a dev and saw whales waving 10k$ each at me id grab the harpoons and implement some p2w
and this is completely normal in korea
you guys are naive
Good thing you’re not.
The game was designed because they where sick of the culture and games being created.
Check out any interviews or QnA’s.
thats a PR statement, you cannot trust anything companies say
their actions will speak for them
agree
they obviously don't care about the money. If they did they would release it now and make it 60$ with purchasable cosmetics and stuff
nobody cares not about money
we could all come up with cash grab schemes if we wanted to.
they have families to feed and mortgages to pay
we arent all in the position to grab cash, it takes an opportunity
and almost everyone would take it
You don’t have to give in to p2w shit to be a successful game?
so far it's all good though
to me it seems a very good as company and has good morals to begin
its fine to be optimistic but stay cautious and dont treat PR statements as ground truth
Most of, if not all of the devs came from high companies and titles, to create a passion project that was in opposition to the Korean work culture, and game design. Although that mortgages and food are evident, I don’t see why they wouldn’t be. The passion behind this speaks volumes, and they would take whale handouts. That for one is very clear.
i would milk whales for all theyre worth if i was in their position
You should watch interviews and QnA’s like I said before.
free money is nice
You should listen to the story of Otto the tavern dog.
and destroy your own game and future profits
Again, good thing you’re not a game designer.
this is why i posted a suggestion this morning about focusing cosmetic purchases to Tavern decorations. We want ways for individuals to give extra support to devs but I dont want to see cosmetic skins inside matches
Being proud of your good game is even better
games that let whales spend infinite money are massively popular and successful
Producing a good game makes money.
And this is why you’re staying blocked. 🤷🏼♂️
Diablo immortal could have been great if they didn’t do that
Not worth my effort.
diablo immortal is still alive?
Not explaining it for a third time.
diablo is a huge success, the entire series
earned so much money and will keep earning
same for future titles
diablo immortal was a financial success. its also the go-to example for a terrible game that highlights developer greed at the expense of their fans
Yeah, sounds like Darker is their best player
diablo immortal has stained the Diablo franchise as well as Blizzard
Would you rather be wealthy while having a good game and community, or very rich and have a game that is looked down upon for greed
thats also why i'm looking to play video games like dark and darker instead of Diablo 4. miss me with that sellout shit
very rich, 100%
When you’re promoting corporate greed.
in the first place whats so great about having a game to your name?
Instead of making good games.
you can do all sorts of things with all that money
im just one person, but i'll vote with my dollar regardless
Yeah ya know, discontinuing their services in China, no biggie lol
None of it goes towards salaries I’ll tell you that.
like rekt your reputation?
You aren’t rich though. You are a dev in this case.
Because then you die and you are seen as a rich asshole?
It’s like talking to a wall.
when a non p2w game comes out and its legit you will be lost
the devs are entirely uninvolved in deciding how the game is monetized
corpo decides that
It’s a indie game?
You can converse all you want, but I do not think Darker's worldview will be adjusted. I almost feel like hes trolling you guys or being semantical about the whole thing.
huh?
I think we all just block darker lol, dude is just a massive troll
That’s why he’s blocked.
Blocked as well
chill, youll get me banned xd
Just block him
dude I got timed out by a mod and they couldnt even explain why
kinda a bit soulless 🤔
Was it by teddy bear?
nah
#rule 11. Do not discuss moderation in public. Moderation decisions are final and are not to be discussed in the community channels. If you take issue with the way a moderator has handled a situation, please DM Luci or Graysun regarding your concern.
the CEO of ironmace makes their financial decisions ultimately
I mean, you guys think the team of 24 devs is gonna count votes and decide on the price date and model of making money in the long term? Lol
Loll
and devs would partake in the blubber earned from whale hunting in some part
lol
critical damage
Teddy has been watching the whole conversation
Just block darker, let him talk to himself and Beanz and don't get in trouble
it is what it is
you screenshoted? at least you did good
now the one that made that suggestion, edited the suggestion to avoid the ban/time out lol
he went to sleep
I mean I can’t discuss moderation punishments but he’s not typing here anymore so.
too bad they didnt take action for that, which was weird
Somebody made magic happen.
Anti-semantic? Wowe
I mean darker was liking suggestions probably from his alt around killing Russian children and nothing happened lol
i did notice a couple of suggestions I didnt recognize but had already downvoted. people sneaking full edits lmao
are you a putin supporter? #SlavaUkraini
russia must fall
for their illegal war of aggression
Tf? Putin does not equal everyone in Russia
as long as russians dont revolt against putin they are complicit
watch for the timeout
this ought to be an intellectual and productive discussion...
its like the nazis in germany, they were all guilty for not rebelling against hitler
Just ignore and block lol
not just hitler himself
@rose sandal
Idk if this is against the rules, but its massively ignorant thats for sure...
@agile condor is the one who brought up politics and probably supports putin
anyone moral stands with ukraine
end of story
negative
<@&988703997378584596> look what darker is saying man
i think darker is an example of what happens to someone when they don't get their monthly dose of dark and darker
full crackhead energy
those poor people deserve our support
cringe and cringers up in here
do you stand with volodymyr zelensky against vladolf putler?
Yeah so what are you going to do? Go fight in the war yourself if you blame people for not fighting
Lol
he became a politician suddenly
This isnt really thr place to show your support, if you really cared you would do it in a relevant place or take action. We are here to talk about dark and darker, stop being like that.
Y’all for real, just block him and move on.
Did anyone ever run into Rangers jumping up on torches near ramps and being practically unreachable? I wanted to record it and report but he got down.
Did this get shed light by anyone?
it's not unreachable if he got up there
I mean, if rangers can do it cant others get there too
Crouch jump up there
Well he was shootinf
there are many crouch jumpable secret spots u can get to, you just have to discover them
technically possible in some part of the map yea
you become unreachable because doing some weird parkour
but they could also reach you by doing the same thing but less likely cause ranger then will use his bow
Its unreachable alive, yeah i meant its overly advantageous imo
and thats why as i said ranger has more advantages than others
especially in maps with very open area
Elevation in general seems a bit too powerful
u play a lot of things to ur advantage in this game, i've been that ranger and i've also fought them, best strat is to just go away
Both PvE and pvp
I mean its an advantage for everyone, no? it would be a different story if only ranger could do it
i like maps being developed vertically
and its also cool escaping from monsters and maybe players by using parkour
thats the point, “I Have the High Ground!”
star wars reference
Yea
I agree, the wheel map when added back to high roller was incredibly hard to push against three rangers.
Verticality seems to have a ton of power, as it does in most games.
I like it too, but being able to kill every melee mob without danger might be nerfed. Maybe some ranged attacks will be added to some bosses to fix that
Monsters don’t deal with verticality well either though.
agreed. I think the AI will get more advanced over time
yea probably AI will be tweaked/reworked
as they stated recently in the last qna
AI are a big part of the game.
they are going to tweak the AI as they stated
i somewhat agree. i care more about what im doing and the other players. ai needs buffs but its not at the top of my priority list
some of the AI is just to easy to work around
#d-and-d-suggestions message why this is down voted ?
it dont have to be big loot .. maybe 1% better loot only ?
and possibly avoid people cheesing at the top of objects
you could like stand there even in some chests and not getting hit by mummies/other mobs
it's not very clear what you are trying to say
honestly once you know how to cheese, you can beat almost anything easily accept ghost king
thats because even he doesnt know
He’s saying in the tavern there should be an npc which can be killed, if it’s alive it increases loot drops by a percentage.
technically there was something with the giant shield that you can put
but iirc they might give a durability for that
ok so there is cat in lobby when waiting for full players (16)
i suggest add pug
and make both attackabel
if cat alive when game start every one get little bit better loot in game ! very small
same
if you want better loot go to high roller or hell
Trolls would just kill it when they load in, no point
and I slice it every time
Dang you’d be on my kos list.
lol
Anybody who hits that dog I’m out to get the entire game.
john wick style
Haha.
it was fun when someone "attacked" the dog
and then everyone in the tavern, focusing on that player, everyone stabbing the one who even dared to touch the dog lol
was really a fun moment 
Except ^^
Just wanted to help out
🤦🏻
You can beat almost anything easily, EXCEPT ghost king
noooo
you can beat almost anything easily; accept GHOST KING!
accept him into your heart
😦
What about.,.... accept the DRAGON?
THE DRAGON?
Yeah yeah
me like dragon
Until you get fire blasted back to the lobby lol
ghostking is honestly easier after u learn him
Then no likey dragon
Thats just sad
🥹
Hope you feel better
I haven't put enough effort into beating him, But this next playtest I Plan on it
I was joking, but it would be a honor to be the first man to die to the dragon
yeah people are just scared and dont even try to kill the bosses
they arent hard after u learn them



kinda wish I tried, and that I had used that purple spear in my stash that I thought I would have the time to use but didn't
i always bring my best gear
no point in being scared to lose it and then never use it
yea I wanted better armor to bring the spear with
did have it but forgot about the spear before I lost the armor xD
so kinda just dumb
Oh I also want to make better use of the player market too and not ignore it completely
forsen
🇸
😮💨
forsen
Same unless I'm soloing and waiting to play with friends, I'll hold on the gear
thats the first 2 days of release, just hoarding things and not using them
Gotta have spare sets for when I die back to back
I feel like this game is comparable to high stakes gambling, in terms of the adrenaline high you get from it
And just like the gambling addict we play until our stash is wiped
The gambler always plays to lose 
#d-and-d-suggestions message
Where does this end though, just an entirely different open world game?
Go outside and it's an mmo 
@wary shell could you explain what that spell would do in the suggestion?
Crapload of damage I'm assuming
its an AoE that emits from the caster, does damage and pushes enemies back
it does good damage in dark souls, but its certainly not necessary for this game
Yeaaah, maybe you can get banners behind you for killing each boss
@wintry forge why are you against this?
Would be cool if they made a whole area to keep your stash and NPC merchants but that would be a lot of work
Idk think I'ma downvote as well lol - just don't care about stuff like that right now
Still think it’s a good idea for the future even if it shouldn’t be a priority rn
If anything has more suggestions than troll suggestions, it's minor changes for 3 years from now lol 😄
Then if you kill the highroller variant your banner turns kinda red
😭
lol
I be sitting at that lobby table for a while though
I'm against anything that will give the devs lots of extra work. If they like a suggestion, they can implement it though. I also tend to not read walls of text, so I also either down vote those or ignore them.
you always downvote the good ones
We're looking into potentially improving the suggestion system.
I'd like to put that out there.
Good
Nice! 👍
POGGERS
For a second I thought it said potentially removing 
It was an idea.
During non PlayTest periods.
I don't want to take away anyone's ability to express idea's.
Especially as we do have some very genuine inputs.
However this system does get abused frequently and ends up in an argument here.
If anyone has idea's on improving this section, I'm open to it, feel free to DM Me.
send the ones that get more than +15 opinion to a different channel
so its more organized
Yep, and delete the downvoted ones after 48 hours
A chat cooldown would be great aswell so there will be less spam, if only it will not affect the ".edit" system
There already is a 5 min cooldown
Like he said he doesnt want to take anyones ability to express ideas.. that applies to the downvoted ones
Oh mb then, but still on a 5 min cooldown I have seen 2-3 troll posts on the same person in a row
There should be a point where the idea should be removed, like 40 downvotes is a trash suggestion or a obvious troll
most trolls feign ignorance but dont fall for it. they are just screwing with you
We're all terrible people and we should be ashamed
😭
imo putting a 6hrs slowdown timer would be already nice in "make suggestion"
so people might think twice and not trolling but being serious at least
and it would be less flooded, perhaps also for the devs having more visibility to suggestions
please do
@granite plinth battle passes are bad, and don't really make sense cause are only always against to the consumers
Yeah but arguable some of the suggestions are trolls, like “add soap to remove debuffs and to encourage players to take showers”.
Anything that turns green should be put into a separate channel to be looked at permanently and for review, and the others get removed.
Simple.
yes
i had a suggestion with 100 positive thumbs up but rip
people trolling flooding and probably it wont be seen 
not even sure why people wanna troll, or trying to give bad suggestions on purpose
just to ruin the game or something 🤔
They can put in emotes with them
Like, you wave in the game etc
And if u kill someone, an animation of a garbage bin falls on top of them
Not every game needs a battle pass.
Fortnite has clearly left a stain on the industry because of profitability. And it’s been so successful it’s confused and convinced consumers that it’s the only viable solution; and one they want.
why not just dlc/microtransactions only? just a pack of gestures
cosmetic only
not sure if it does make sense a battle pass here 🤔
but i hope the gestures will be free at least
and i hope they just monetize on skins only
Buy my $70 game, and then pay $20 for content that you should already have but is locked behind challenges and it isn’t guaranteed unless you time sink into the game. When is this something consumers decided they wanted?
Damn troll messed up my 100% upvote on my suggestion 😄
if they add microtransactions for cosmetics i hope
cosmetics wont have stats
and i hope no fomo
and i also hope there will be at least as percentage 80% free cosmetic as majority
while the cosmetics with real money just a minority
maybe they could use like the DRG model where they give tons of free cosmetics when big updates drop but also with a normal cosmetic pack just to support devs potentially
in some games the majority of cosmetics are just behind a paywall rip
like 90% paid
and 10% just obtainable in game
DRG should be the industry standard for battlepass systems
Fuck i want dwarves so bad lol
Why am I forced to play for content I already bought?
yes bro all cosmetic
lol
thats the only battle pass that works cause its completely free
its called progression
i agree btw
but we need to see how they will monetize the game, they probably have to do it in some degrees to mantain also the costs of the servers
id like a game with no microtransactions at all as well
the problem with battle passes is the FOMO
I’m not saying don’t sell skins or have transactions.
I just don’t like the industry standard battle pass.
but DRG allows you buy things in the BP after its over with the ingame currencies to counteract it
It’s not advantageous for a consumer in any way.
also i think in early access i very doubt they will start to charge for dlcs, or skins
maybe they will start that when the game will be fully released probably
ah i dont like battle passes as well
they look like mobile stuff battle stuff
i wouldn't fear any toxic industry stuff from the D&D devs, theyve made it pretty clear they hate that shit
just a weird kr4p to force people in buying those because of the fomo
No I don’t expect it either.
I’m just discussing why I don’t want a battle pass as it was a suggestion someone made.
And we are in fact in said channel.
Emote that drops everything in your inventory; Kind of like a, "Ahh, don't kill me, hands ups, here's all my stuff?"
Votes
Opinion: +11
Upvotes: 37 📥 58.73%
Downvotes: 26 📤 41.26%
We did it! Over 51% !!
Majority shares means we win right?
i mean you could already do it
by doing the surrender emote and dropping the stuff manually 🤔
I do believe I
yeah i feel like including any sort of monetisation model in your suggestion is a guaranteed way to insure you get 40+ downvotes
d be dead be fore that
i put a suggestion to make races have 0 ingame effects and be earned ingame with the OPTION of monetisation and it got like 4 upvotes but in discussion people seem to want it
not sure what it does mean the green bar in the suggestions btw
i made a suggestion had 102 positive reviews but isnt green or at least maybe it was
i just don't think we should be concerned coming up with ways for the devs to make their money. they'll do what they need to, and if we don't like it when it happens we can voice that opinion, but suggesting battlepasses or paid skins or paid items or monthly/weekly fees is kinda... idk overly specific and not our business
i think its quite literally our business since it could make the game unappealing if done incorrectly
.>
...no
It is not green.
discussing it now gives them and idea of ways they could do it without pissing us off lol
cause at the end of the day they will need to make money to keep the servers up
if you want to play the game for longer then 2 years
maybe could work, with adventure points obtaining in game and/or if you want using real money but idk
races would have just new abilities cause new classes maybe
but am i wrong or each classes had different stat already?
so not sure why races shouldnt have other stats
the other ones
i think classes should be the main driving force behind stats and abilities, but minor racials like WOW might work if they arent to heavy
the only exception to that rule would be once again dwarves
i like dwarves
since you are changing the hit box dramatically it needs to be done right
i want dwarves too dwarf barbs would be a blast
yea but people can also aim 🤔
honestly it would be easier to make headshots to dwarves as in most of people tend to hit the torso or even lower when they attack
its easier to hit the head of a dwarf no doubt, but a dwarf fighter with a pavise could be op
and how do you handle tigh areas like the secret paths you have to crouch through
a dwarf wouldnt have to crouch so would move full speed through them
yes another advantage of dwarves prob
a dwarf with just two pavises lol the running clam strategy
i guess races should have an advantage but also a disvantage
so its balanced
and dwarf seems to have either both of those
not sure if he would have the strenght to use one though
i think if its a full size humanoid its just a cosmetic difference really, but dwarves, gnomes and such are bitch to implement
dwarves i imagine them with dual axes/greathammer only
maybe a subclass for barb
causw dwarf ranger could be really annoying lol
or god forbid a dwarf wizard
hasted dwarf barbarian 
dont know but i like variety as in diversity
universal hitboxes are probably good to follow i guess
for balance its the easiest
i think mordhau did an alright job with its implementation
in voice chat proximity lol
Dwarfs would have a smaller hitbox.
On this topic, the skeleton skins didn't feel like they had a huge impact on the gameplay loop despite having a stat-shuffle on it tbh.
yeah i ran around as a skeleton on every class and didnt really notice a difference
i think humanoid would still headshot them with ease if not with very high accuracy because they are very exposed dwarves
for minmax it might might matter but in games like this is the difference of getting oneshot by a little or oneshot by a lot lol
maybe dwarves could just jump a bit higher so they can at least land headshots too to humanoids
jump distance and height would have to be consistent for balance i think
not sure if they would ever implement dwarfes
but having the ability to sweep the legs out from someone or higher damage to limbs to compensate the fact your hitting legs with 70-80% of your swings could be a balance point
the dwarves doing headshots in the humans feet
getting a headshot as a dwarf could be an achievement lol
I like the idea that humans = no stat changes.
Any other race = An upside + a downside that doesn't ever make it BIS for a specific class.
For example;
Humans - No bonus
Elves - Slight movespeed increase, slight HP decrease
Lizardfolk - Increase swim speed, decrease land speed.
Dwarves - Decreased hitbox size (both a positive and a negative), increased mining speed.
maybe elves also slow hp regeneration from potions 🤔
or bandages 
yeah it would have to stay small changes or you would get things like that one suggestion to add nightvision to lizardman race lol
dark and NVGOGGLES
i think the hitbox for dwarves it would be still balanced as in humans would very land tons of headshots to dwarves probably
but i think dwarves might also defend themselves properly with their kit or abilities
its would have to be tested thoroughly, i can se the dwarves being either OP or useless if done incorrectly
i guess its ok
because prob most of people just raise the brightness or gamma to cheese rip
they should make it more darker
Kobold - 1/2 HP, 2x movement speed, constantly screaming
goblins would be cool too but i think it could also be a good enemy type
goblins, snakes, dragons, grifons

hydra
cerberus? dog with 3 heads
i think the way light is generated in D&D prevents this from being a thing, had some friends try to raise their gamma and brightness to cheese the game and said it did nothing
hopefully they even improve more lol
but yea
dark and darker after all
my new suggestion is perfect and no number of downvotes will change my mind
not sure if ever aragorn used a bow 🤔
cant post pics but there are pictures of him holding it lol
from the movies
plus he quite literally a Ranger sooooo
:P
in the books i think he just used it for hunting and stuff though
Please don't take people's advice to just delete the ones that get lots of down votes. Just because there are people on Discord that vote on suggestions and don't like them doesn't mean they are all bad ideas and the devs won't like them either. This is one reason why this channel gets lots of arguments, because people on this channel criticize people who get lots of down votes, whether or not they are trolling.
There are actually plenty of suggestions that don't turn green because of a Discord glitch where the stats don't get calculated, and there might be down voted suggestions that the devs will like despite them being down voted.
Thus the difficulty and challenge of improvement.
Which I enjoy.
We'll think of something in the middle.
I like the idea of the additional server with the highest upvotes or most agreed upon ect
🥲 sorry didn’t mean the dog emote.
Yeah but they can just be suggested again if that happens.
@mint ravine I don't see how having two servers is better than one. In q-and-a I asked Graysun if the devs read all suggestions, and he said they do, and he writes down his favorites. Maybe the slow mode could be extended to 2 hours. If people think of more than one suggestion in less time than that they can write it down so they don't forget about it.
The point of having another channel is to highlight the good suggestions.
I understand your point of view, but those aren't the "good" suggestions, they're just the most popular ones, and the devs read all suggestions, so why have two channels for them to look through?
If they have less time they can go through the top voted ones
And I would argue that the more popular suggestions are the good ones, or they are atleast better than the downvoted ones
The devs would disagree.
Do you not think that a idea that a lot of people think is good is probably not better than a idea that a lot of people think is bad?
If devs read all suggestions then they don't need to look at them on another server at all. Different server with most popular suggestion needed not only for devs, but also for people who suggest things, so those people can look through most popular ones and don't suggest the same things again and again every day or two
It is starting to feel annoying to see another suggestion to add necromancer class
Seems like a weird triple portal lmao
I agree, but the devs can quickly skip suggestions they've already read. I don't think it's possible to prevent repeat posts. There are too many to look through to see of something has already been suggested.
Devs already answered about necromancer in their q&a.
Q: What about druids, monks, or a necromancer?
A: We want to have them. We want druids to be able to turn into animals. If we add monks, we will have to think about how we punch and kick in the FPP view. As for Necromancer, I don’t know if that’s what the name will be, but there must be something like that. It’s fun.
Recap of q&a can be found in dev-qna channel, but no one bothers to look there
I was referring to seeing repeat posts, not specifically necromancer.
I wasn't answering to your message. Just putting it out there because i really tired to see those necromancer suggestions
If they didnt care about that why put the thumbs up and thumbs down in?
You can't completely prevent repeats, but if some people (at least some of them) see a suggestion similar to theirs in popular ones, the chances that they won't post another one are pretty decent i would say
Also if someone suggest an exact thing that was already suggested and ended up as "popular" it will be reasonable to remove new one instead of letting it clog the channel
They'd like to know what this community thinks, but that doesn't mean they won't use any down voted suggestions.
English is so hard for me today for some reason
Thoughts on these ideas to improve the suggestion channel?:
-
To keep everything organized suggestions with a rating of 15 or more should be archived in a different channel
-
Furthermore Suggestions with -30 or less should be deleted to remove clutter
-
Suggestions should be put on an increased cooldown timer to prevent spam. The current cooldown timer is 5 minutes and doesn't prevent spam.
-
To deal with trolls, there should be a new troll 🧌 reaction. If a suggestion gets voted over a certain threshold (such as 10) with the troll reaction it can be deleted and the suggester can be temporarily muted from suggesting and reacting to suggestions for a set time (such as 48 hours).
-
Wardens should not be the only people who decide which are trolls and which are not (even though I am happy mods such as Teddybear have been helping) because it can be hard to tell who is trolling unless you are actively looking through suggestions and the suggestion-discussion channels. For example the suggestion "put a soap bar in the game that removes some bad buffs from u to encourage players in taking showers too" is easy to see as a joke or a troll, but the suggestion "maybe add some elemnts which are able to be only unlockeable with money so it helps the dev and admins a bit out to flow more money into the project and improve it further maybe make a new class which is slightly better than others so ppl have the incentive to unlock it with money i think that would imrpove the game a lot and gave some better cash flow for the whole project" is difficult to see is a troll unless you know that suggester has actively been suggesting ideas that the community dislikes in order to make people upset.
I am against removing suggestions based on their rating. I also think that idea with troll emote will be turned around and trolls will end up using it to remove any or all suggestions that trolls don't like
I don't think there are enough trolls to do that
I disagree with that assumption. Imo you underestimating them by a lot
I think they just need a section for suggestions that have 20 positive to move to.
leave the negatives how they are.
who cares about the suggestions, they read em as they come
soon we will all be playing 😄
There comes a point in the development when devs will be tired of reading unnecessary suggestions
On the one hand, I don't think most of the absolutely terrible suggestions are trolls, so they can't really be removed as such. I think people really are that out of touch with the game that they don't know what a reasonable, decent suggestion is.
On the other hand, I wish they'd take the hint that what they're suggesting is horrible, and re-evaluate their understanding of the game and the direction the game is going before making subsequent suggestions. Just because something would be cool or another game has a feature does not mean it fits this game's style or balance.
yeah like 99% of the suggestions got a down from me
They think it's worth their time for the few suggestions they read that they do like.
Yes but the devs need to go through everything first and you do know how many suggestions are posted per day right?
Just because some people think a suggestion doesn't fit this game doesn't mean that it doesn't. The devs can decide if a suggestion fits this game. Also, "terrible" suggestions might not be. That's an opinion.
Imagine going through 100 suggestions and see "make helicopter"
Yeah, Graysun said it just takes time to read them all, but they do read them all. If the devs want to read less suggestions, they can just increase the slow mode time.
I agree it would be better if people didn't use the suggestions to make jokes, but I think the mods can handle it.
The devs do decide that, yes. However there are some things which would blatantly break the game, and those are what I am calling terrible suggestions. While everyone is entitled to an opinion, some opinions on what would be cool (and some of them are cool) would be utterly game breaking. That is what makes them terrible suggestions.
For example, while I do not agree with something like "give rogues an ability to turn out the lights," that is not a terrible suggestion. That's someone's opinion, yes. It's not game breaking. I just don't agree with it because I fail to see its usefulness, or how it adds to the game. But it should stay there and the devs should read it, because hey! Maybe they have some reason for wanting it.
However, something like "add a cleric mind control spell," while it sounds cool, would be utterly game breaking, frustrating for whoever it is used on, and generally only fun for the cleric abusing it, because there are a thousand different ways to get someone killed if that even lasted a short amount of time. It is clear that something like this does not fit into the game, and never could. The only type of person who would suggest such a thing has absolutely no understanding of the game's balance. That is what makes it a terrible suggestion.
I guess what I'm saying is, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But just because someone has an opinion does not make their opinion right or good. And while ultimately the developers get to judge what is and isn't a useful suggestion to them, sometimes a suggestion is so mind-numbingly bad, it doesn't take a developer to know it.
Also btw posts with a karma of +15 or so have a green bar on the left side, makes it easy to scroll through and read good posts
Yeah, but sometimes the stats don't get calculated so the bar stays blue. Someone suggested that you can just repost it, but then you're just cluttering up the suggestions more and hoping that people will vote the same way they did before.
I've had it update as I upvote it myself, I still look at the posts karma before reading any of it anyway soooo
just wondering, when a suggestions turns out green, does that mean that it has been read by the devs or that just the suggestions is overly positive?
pos
15 positive points i think
@ most recent suggestion..... why would you want to make a unique class (ranger) MORE like the rogue/fighter, makes absoutely zero sense? The whole point in the classes is so they have different playstyles lmao
Right? The suggestion is-- take away rangers range, it's beartraps, and their campfire... what do they get? A rapier :3
Desolent#5513 on his way to make a shitty p2w suggestion, like it and get ratio'd shortly after 🧑🏻🦯
*cough I wouldn't mind being able to rock a longsword on ranger though
who would mind using it ;p
Just a really fun weapon ^
It is
There's no 3 way blue portals?
there is a feeling that for the Desolent dude, you need to make the entrance to the DnD game paid - $ 10 for each launch of the game, like the most avid troll
Even bad suggestions have merit, because it gets people thinking. Maybe the suggestion itself doesn't line up with the game but it leads to a similar idea that turns out great
His suggestions are so bad yet at the same time all revolve in the "make Ranger stronger and let me buy to win" area. That i cant figure out if he is trolling or just genuinely that out of touch with reality.
The flail is an interesting idea. I'd honestly love it if it was possible to hit your own character on a missed attack, especially if it has the ability to bypass shields
You can ready bypass shields though? Just have to angle yourself right. It is a nice idea but they'd have to fix the former first.
what if instead of the red zone border zone you make it to a crushing stone wall, that, the players are forced not to not end up in a dead end zone of trapped in the stone wall. i know that many will be smashed at this wall. cause they are trapped.. ^^´ I think most players dont have enough anxiety of the red Borderzone. Or it in a Hardcore Modus. 😄
I think if people post troll suggestions they should lose perms to post suggestions AND to vote on them. Because if you just pull the posting perms they're going to spam down votes (or upvoting bad suggestions) as an alternate method of trolling
yes i agree, everyone posting suggestions i dont like or voting differently should be banned 👍 stalin would be proud
That post wasn't about you but it seems like you took it personal
For the record I didn't think your suggestion was a troll I just didn't care for it
And I'm not accusing you of trollvoting either
🤷♂️
seems like you want to overwork already overworked employee's please stop and react like a grown up when another adult has a different opinion than yours
It'd be cool if people would stop assuming malice
My post here has nothing to do with any suggestion of mine being downvoted
I just see a lot of troll suggestions and it occurred to me that if something is done about it as was discussed the other day, the trolls will probably move on to voting with bad intent
Whoever it is they’re blocked for me because they where trolling.
I wouldn’t engage with whoever you’re talking to.
Just a heads up.
I don't know what to say to you to convince you that I'm genuinely just interested in the wellbeing of the community and not crying about my suggestions being unpopular
My first suggestion was not well thought out and I own that
I agree
I think we should all relax and just stop devolving chat everyday into a discussion about how the discussion channels are set up. Although on the other hand I am very entertained.
Its darker 
I don’t really care who it is.
Yeah fair point. This community is quite reactionary sometimes.
I've seen less flaming in 4chan discords
If you need a guide.
Block anybody who upvoted this.
Not because of the suggestion just because the trolls vote together.
if we make a good suggestion i think we should get access to the game rn
Or give them full time to develop it.
Good idea...
Sever costs hemorrhage money.
Nah, also if we make a good suggestion we should get 200 free gold immediately at the start of the next playtest
Why…
Lol
Well feel free to make that a suggestion so we can discuss it here.
lmao
some people just cant take a joke
Because it makes you mad.
And it’s hilarious
Good thing you’ve already been warned about calling people names though. Makes this whole process easier.
just dont talk to him koko

#d-and-d-suggestions message. Would be funny if this got upvoted and devs see it lol
only did it because ppl take themselves way to seriously here, if it does though....
If by taking it seriously you mean discussing the suggestions instead of trolling, saying racist things, and causing problems, then sure.
Of course they do. I especially love the idea that people here can be arbiters of what goes against the dev's vision and what does not.
Obvious departures aside, we can't.
@odd reef Please be civil after your timeout expires.
👋
We can’t, but the whole point of the channel is to discuss the suggestions.
literally theres 10 year olds here who make suggestions straight out of world of warcraft
I'm not saying anything against that, yet that is the attitude I've seen while lurking this channel.
the devs already have their ideas, and if theyre going to look at our suggestions, its going to be when they have nothing better to do on a friday night, maybe joking with friends
and a small tiny minute fraction will actually stick, and theyll say its a good idea
Some of them however go directly against what the devs have stated though.
For example iron mace was founded by former AAA developers set to be the antithesis against Korean work culture, and dark and darker to be a counter against what normally exists, and the predatory practices those company use like pay to win etc.
So, when suggestions are make buyable classes, permanent gear with money, purchasable everything. I’m not sure how this would be seen as anything other than a troll.
Which comes from one person, upvoted by other people who troll instead of discussing the suggestion.
@loud matrix
Im not disagreeing with that
But you can either get angry at them or take it as a joke
Obvious departures aside
I'm not disagreeing either.
these people are probably kids anyways
I feel like the malaise you’ve been seeing from lurking is solely from those people, especially if you where talking about yesterday.
I’m not angry, I have them blocked. But the only way they’re going to stop de railing conversation by trolling is with a timeout or a ban.
you're either just feeding trolls or getting upset at kids who cant understand the company logic
Oh no, I'm not talking about those people you mentioned who recently started making these suggestions.
I'm talking about the people who I've seen discussing in here since the playtest when I talk about the attitude.
I mean, people believe bad suggestions are an attack on the games vision. Certain suggestions would destroy the game and people feel just as a responsible for telling iron mace what they don’t want, just as they would for what they want.
I believe that’s where the attitude comes from.
thats totally true, but the devs already know that and can make that realization
they can just like you or me realize its a troll or a 10 year old WoW player
I'm sort of imagining this how it goes down with Pokemon and their fan suggestions.
lol true, especially with new pokemons
99% of those are similar shit, but actually sent in through email or letters.
So if you want to keep a healthy mind as a game dev, you cannot possibly take such suggestions as seriously as people here do.
yup, at the very best, they could just make another channel that only contains the good suggestions, to save dev time
Could ask some people to pre-filter through those suggestions kek.
Though that would likely go badly.
Platinum token is a lazy fix to storage issues, theres way deeper approaches possible
#d-and-d-suggestions message
I agree with having visual item links
they'd need to at least pay them to do it lol
Little hard scanning walls of text, icons as an addition to the wall of text would help
Really you can already buy the unique currency for 30, and create stacks of 300 gold.
Also the limited storage is part of the game design.
Not really something I think needs to be tackled.
Others have also suggested to have filter options so you'd only see stuff you can equip and so forth. So there's several possible approaches to make the trade menu more legible.
Icons would, especially if the chat moves rapidly, quickly scroll the menu too.
I mean, the suggestion is just to make an auction house really.
yeah, or just store gold in the form of valuable items like legendary jewelry or even ruby bars
desolent is literally a 10 year child
The thing about stagnant trade systems is prices don’t really fluctuate.
That 400 gold horrible roll blue gear is going to be there in the chat till somebody buys it.
his suggestions arent the best but would you bully a 10 year old child?
Once you're effectively able to filter out anything you don't want, that'll be good too
Yeah it’s not a child.
All of them are related to spending money, and he’s had conversations where he’s stated he’s spent 10k on mobile games.
He just doesn’t realize the impacts of pay2win or whales.
But yeah the highlighted suggestions would be good, because we end up talking about the most common suggestions anyway almost daily
I don’t really think many suggestions at face value can be taken as trolling, but you combine that with provocative chat history.
What's a "stagnant" trade system for you and how does it differ from a "fluent" system (or however you'd choose to call it)?
Provides a good bulletin to go back to when everyone is trolling at the moment
totally agree, i think the admins could definitely make the suggestions channels better
Right now you need to be in a chat to actively sell an item, regardless of if it’s trash green gear, or legendaries. It requires a time sink. Though yes it’s hard to read sometimes, and could use a sorting system. Creating an auction house does the same thing but instead of sorting through all types of gear I’m sorting through rarities of gear that never changed in price that I can’t barter for.
At least in a trade channel there’s room to barter or tell somebody their legendary interaction gear isn’t worth anything.
I think it’s harder to impact a market with a stagnant auction house.
So for you, stagnant means indirect trade?
If only blizzard didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth with the words auction house
Sure, because there’s no bartering.
I think it’s quicker for people to realize that I can’t spend X hours trying to sell this armor for 1000g, but I’m visually seeing that this guy can sell it for 800g.
So instead of spending X hours I can spend X less, and it helps dictate price a bit better.
I think theres an issue with the auction house though, of lack of communication, kind of like the grand exchange in runescape
Sure absolutely let me sort gear.
I like Borg's suggestion where there would be icons that just direct you to talk to the player of the item, that way you still need to talk
Honestly divide the channels by class.
Yeah grand exchange killed some charm
But don’t take away the time sink.
Yeah, have filters for items, but when you go to buy the item, you're just sent into a message box with the other player
so you keep that element of communication still
and can barter etc
Okay, reasonable.
I can say from experience though that in both cases, price fixing is entirely possible. It is harder to do in a barter focused trade system (so direct trade), but not impossible. It depends almost entirely on the player base (both merchants and buyers) and their understanding of the game's economy.
The more people know what a piece of gear is worth, the faster trade becomes on both ends.
Its like Path of Exile which has this method essentially, but with 3rd party websites
That being said, I much prefer bartering myself. Has a nice feel to it.
The difference is it would be implemented in the game itself
The third party trade site is coming 
Probably inevitable though
yupp
Oh you can be sure that there will be 3rd party resources to give everyone a guideline to how much a piece of gear is worth in gold at some point.
And then most bartering will happen within that price range.
We're talking about PoE, these third party sites are essentially the game's auction houses
but for sure though
To be fair, there were 2-3 simultaneous discussions about the topic of trade here.
All kinda related to each other but not.
my b
That seems oddly specific, certain game it's from?
You're one of those guys that's going to have a separate account with just the trade window on another monitor eh?
I can see myself using a mule for that
i just go naked until the very last day of the playtest and binge
It'd be nice to have it open while I'm playing if I want to reserve something
But should have to go through the extra effort of multi-accounts
Unless they come out with a trade helper thing like some mmos do
What happened to the trading helper app for osrs
I thought there was an official app
I really like this latest suggestion, i love twisted fate from league and think he's a great fit in this game, thank you @steady cloud
Ok
You seriously need to be banned from making suggestions.
tell me you play league without telling me you play league
@steady cloud you are built different
Thx 👍
Why are you intentionally trolling the suggestions tho.
hes 11 y/o
thats his capacity
Bit young for someone making references to WoW all the time.
bet he thinks he is hillarious lol.
Talking about the good ol' days at the ripe age of 11

i didnt make it very far in Everquest when i was a kid. maybe 7 years old at the time
i played warcraft 1 with my mom a lot

very first game was doing the health potions for my dad in diablo 1. then i had recurring nightmares for like 18 months 😂
patrician taste
chill out with the housing system and pet system and shit, sims is free and available, go do that
pet system is the worst idea I've heard
costum lobby or training dummy area is a good idea
ill never understand beyond just playing the video game. only reason i would every buy player housing in a game is if it had a mechanic function.
my terraria housing looks like a prison
You haven’t been here long enough then.
@opaque slate
"make ranger bear trap hitbox bigger, sometimes when trapped you cant disarm it since you cant all the way down to look at it"
You know, You can always disarm a trap, it all falls under the fact of where the trap is , because sometimes the trap is behind you, so you have to look around on the ground to find it and disarm it
either that or you're delusional
Unless you mean you have ran into an issue where you CANT disarm one at all, then that would be an issue we can bring up in #989065208087576596 Because that would be a problem
Lets keep it modest here and not start with name callings
Who said I wasn’t! 🤪
Lets not antagonize
Just jokes, no Ill will here friend!
Gotcha ❤️
I just said it was a terrible idea.
Skins for monetization - yes, sure. Now pets?!
And then calling me out for pointing it out...
So you're telling me... You wouldn't want to have a pet follow you around at all in game, Whether that be in the main game, or just the tavern loading lobby?
Just saying, there are plenty of other games like sims where you can have pets follow you around.
Sure!
What is this BDO?
I wouldn't. Simpler makes ir better. Offer skin customizations, some monetized, some not, maybe a battle pass and you're set.
Especially pets with skills nasty
Game is already good enough as it is, why ruin it with pets
I think there's even a dog in the tavern already as it is. Just add the option to pet it if you feel like that's necessary.
I don't know how I would feel if they bring pets in, and the pets ACTUALLY help, whether it be a player buff, or tracking or attacking.
But If they were to add a pet to tavern loading lobby just so you can run around with it, play with it and all. I wouldn't mind at all, because I love petting Otto when I load in.
I feel like pets would be hard to do, if your a rouge and you go invisible does the pet also go invis?
Makes the game too complicated.
Just play with otto?
You want a game that you can just pick up and don't feel immediately off by having to learn XYZ mechanic, meta, functionality
I like petting otto with the blade of my sword
I think maybe adding more interactivity to otto would be cool. But don't see the point in a pet that is relegated to the tavern. Like what's the point?
I'm a cat guy though, so sometimes its too much otto for me
I get that
While I think pets are a waste of time. If they dont have buffs id get over it
I dont want them looting for people either
that shit is part of the game
yeah i hate pets
Catching people looting etc
I agree, it could make it complicated. but if they have the skill power to add it, just so people can show off there pets.
I wouldn't see why they wouldn't do it just for shits and giggles.
I think pets if they were cosmetic would just hinder the players stealth abilities
I feel it takes away from the grim dark atmosphere the devs are going for
Everyone running around with a fluffy cat
in this dark dank atmosphere just doesnt seem to fit
pets would kill the vibe. we are supposed to be in an extremely tense and dangerous place
But thats why I mentioned, maybe just have it in the tavern lobby only
But then what value does it really have?
let me kill the pets
pleasing to the eye?
Same value a player would get from jumping on top of the chandelier up the stairs, or petting otto
Ya, just seems like a odd thing to put dev time into
ATM Yeah i agree
I guess in the future and only in the tavern and id just ignore it so no big deal.
i want a drgonfly pet that spts green stuff to say hello
But say, in a year, I'd think that to be more reasonable
I mean sometimes your only in the tavern for like 10 seconds maybe less.....
Ya, if its just added fluff after the game is done its whatever to me.
I dont think its worth dev time unless they are really bored
Then if youre in my lobby, you'll see an armorless archer, running to the bar for otto.... just to pet him atleast once
if I could kill otto I would
Id like to see personal taverns, that you invite your friends to before a game and its the pre game lobby. You walk around and shop etc. In this scenario I could see a cool pet to show off int his location
mhw had pets that you placed into your players home that other players could enter and see how your living in game
Could decorate it etc. would be like housing almost
instanced rooms/house
Ya, i like the tavern setting though. Could essentially be player housing tho
Minus the extra storage 😉
a path of exile style hideout would be the extent i would like to see pets. the game is called Dark and Darker, I'de prefer anything beyond chilling at town to embody that dark tone
pets are a shortcut to feeling like any other generic pvp game imo
Ya, it is pretty over used
better gameplay mechanics over in game eye candy?
welcome to <video game> heres your battle pass, your daily login, your pet window, buy it treats to get a 10% boost to experience gain for 2 hours
So has anyone suggested a bard to come to dark and darker? Also I want proximity chat lol
Bard should be the next class they release
thers been lots of talks about both Bard and Proximity
hopefully they dont disappoint
I would love that so much. I wanna sing quirky one liners to my enemies
proximity is necessary so is an in game text chat/party finder
the only way to communicate in game is thru discord where people get timed out when some raging kid @s them
Id say VOIP is mandatory not 100% proximity
in game party chat100% voip would be fun, i would have it turned off im not tryin to hear screaming and toxic bs in the mic tbh
Ya I feel having a in game team chat for the pugs is much more valuable than proximity chat. Though I am not against proximity chat
press to party chat press to proximity chat
party finder and friends list in game
a spellbook requires two hands to turn pages but you should be able to cast thru your mace
Maybe if proximity voip isnt added they can just add proximity chat
And then the ppl against voip and for it can both be satisfied
Desolent is the demon of the suggestion channel
massive whale, all the suggestions about spending money to get stuff
The dark and darker anti christ
Taunt animations? Knock my staff against the ground to make some noise
attack the floor brother
This guy gets it
Im a little confused why this is downvoted #d-and-d-suggestions message
I was looking at it, its not a bad idea to have a larger currency, no?
I mean theres different solutions to the currency issue, but like it isn't a bad one itself
people don't seem to like specifics; calling it platinum in a DnD / middle ages sort of game might be disliked, as might setting a stack value of 25, or setting the value at 50g. if it just said "a currency above gold for more efficient trading" it might have done better. but also, we don't really need a higher tier of currency, we just need larger gold pouches, so there's a few reasons it might have been shot down.
it seems like the more general your suggestion, the better it performs, in any case.
there's just several points of data in that suggestion that could cause disagreement.
you want to try to have one concept per post, or you risk someone liking part of it but downvoting due to the specificity of another part.
Yeah, thats fair, but imo the post is generalized enough that obviously the values or name could be adjusted if its IN THE GAME, but the core concept there is pretty blatant, probably an ego thing
On the flipside putting 3 suggestions in one suggestion is just asking to get downvoted
But thats good a way to dissect and answer my confusion. But I just think the specifics there are nothing to fret about.
I thought one of the interview VoDs already stated they'll be adding "bags" or bigger gold bags no?
I heard that too yeah
i agree with you, but a lot of people can't/won't read between the lines, so to speak. half those downvotes could just because they didn't like the name "platinum", you know?
yeah fair enough, we on the same page then
yea but that was during 2nd playtest, and we didn't get it for third, so the suggestions keep coming. there's probably a couple dozen versions of that suggestion at this point
That's true but they also only put in things in the playtest they want to test. I expect it's pretty easy to know people would want more inventory space without testing it and they always have to cut things in playtests due to limitations on Dev time. /shrug i.e. VoiP
for sure
Someone need to compile the genuinely bad suggestions and make a whole youtube channel about reacting to them.
you'd just get reported to the mods by the people that made those suggestions. not worth the frustration. but it would be funny
The only suggestion I wanted to make was for endgame random card lobby, but I don't see the point as my suggestion would rely heavily on this game having enough pop to split the lobby into 2 or 3 so I won't bother until release lol.
curious what you mean by random card lobby
There are a few games where you have specific class skills. In the randomizer lobby everyone starts with base stats of a fighter at lv 0. You gain 10x or more exp per mob/player kill, every level you get to pick from 3 random skills from the entire pool of skills that exist in the game, Every other level you get a perk, this goes on until you have 4 perks 2 skills (something else could be added beyond this point, maybe stats). Every new game you reset back to lv 0.
This mode would be completely for fun at the end game, and some skills would be 1) broken 2) really OP. It's fun though.
Oh shit, id play that
that does sound like a really fun pre-wipe event sort of thing, for sure
If you can vaguely express that in a 'general' manner with only the core concept bleeding through and have an 'if' somewhere about playerbase splitting, id upvote
Thanks, it's and old idea from a pretty popular map on the old version of Dota (back when it was a WC3 custom map). It also exists as a popular private wow server mod, where you create your own hero type of thing. It's one of those concepts where the more diverse classes and skills there are in the game the more an idea like this shines.
I'll wait till this game is more fleshed out and see what the user base is. I'd still want fast normal lobbys over anything like this.
It would be refreshing though, do we keep loot?
if so, it would be good for late wipe players
You'd have to wipe it between lobbys or have chars restricted to only that format probably, but you can do really fun stuff like make mobs really strong and drops epic +
fair enough
hmm its just that i saw a few vids that ppl couldnt do it and had to get their friend to do it, think it also happened to me once and i died to the bleed dmg of the trap
Either way, its a cool alternative gamemode, maybe they will do that as events, I think timed events where we can do silly gamemodes would be cool.
yea the queue splitting is always going to be the main concern for new game modes; even this last test, while my normal queues were nearly always the instant 5 sec ones; when i played high roller most queues were at least 30s to a minute waiting for lobby to fill, sometimes even starting with only 13/16 or w/e and waiting the whole 2.5 minutes to enter.
Or an alternative gamemode with a separate leaderboard
and that was only two queues
well yeah, but I played tarkov for like 500 hours and half of that was suffering 6+ min wait times
so blessed be with 1minute fill up.
Yeah but the game can turn into tarcov if they divide the queues into 24ths.
PUBG also long queues sometimes, also also, league of legends ranked actual drafting takes soooo long if people dont lock in.
Me new in tarkov , dying when i hear gunshot near my face but it's actually like 300m away lol , oh ye and aimbot scavs (They did nerf it tho)
ahahha yea i can't even play tarkov anymore, DaD spoiled me. i've done two raids on tark since wipe and they cost me like 25 mins of queue time. nnnnnnnope
yeah same
pubg is a game that split queues to have multiple modes, solos, duos, trios... all that raises queue times for everyone. multiple queues and MMR are the two biggest causes of high queue times
yea the new audio is really quite bad.
#d-and-d-suggestions message this is a great example of "too much specificity" in a suggestion; almost everyone wants triple blues back, but 4 or 5 is a LOT.
i like the 1 man portals
puts you in a situation where you have to talk strategy with your teammates
I agree with both
I think having a single 3 man one or something somewhere can give scenarios where a 3man can hide near a 3man portal and gank a group that finds it after
a tri portal always appear at the final circle
I tote think final circle should always spawn a triple portal whether red or blue randomly.
really? ive never seen a blue triportal
i agree that i had some good tense moments where myself or a tm had to decide to potentially sacrifice themselves to go searching for an extract in the swarm, but i would like at least one triple in the final circle for the last team standing
no they were removed completely from the last playtest; only triple reds now. no blues
yeah it actually added fun into an uncomfortable situation. my teammate would extract and be invested to see whether i survived alone
yea same
My friends and I just dropped our loot to the guy who was leaving
and then we searched for another way out
when i did duo my teammate would usually just give me his best loot and rings and such, then id leave and get to watch him try to clutch
its pretty fun
I often just tell teamates to exit and solo next lv
that part i didn't care for. just didn't feel necessary, after surviving the whole raid, being out of heals and unable to go deeper, to have to let someone die to save their gear. that's why i'd like one triple at the final circle, maybe even like the last 20-30 seconds of raid. if there's no one left to fight, you should all be able to leave.
i think the biggest thing id like to be added is just more variety with the maps
I mean they could put triple portals again in mid , but each in ur group maybe would need a special item which would be expensive to get (Not sure about how would u get would u buy find it idk) ? , and only if all 3 have that item then they can activate triple portal and then escape.
sure we all did that at some point, but it's not always possible; out of heals and at 20% HP, you're not getting out of b3 without sheer luck.
that sounds so bad
well im hoping for procedural at some point or more diversity as well, or like map variants so things change slightly enough. But for now it was great for alpha
no point in overcomplicating things with a bunch of stuff locked behind item gates itll just get confusing for new players
I would self exit before my teamates if I thought that, and force them to solo, but most cases I just went down myself.
i think a lot of the appeal of the game is also it's simplicity
There is some to have there yeah, but its also the first decent attempt at a fantasy style dungeon delve that actually feels like we are looting a dungeon
Devs said they suck at procedural and the R&D to be able to do it was not feasible
Yeah, it can be something they make waaay later tbh, procedural shouldn't be an issue, they can always come back to trying it.
i envisioned just using the same pre-build dungeon rooms, and procedural just being the connecting hallways between them.
so the layout of the dungeon changes, even if the rooms are recognizable
Hopefully they just go city of heroes route with quest creation : P
putting enemies randomized but still in fixed poll spawns would give more variety already
What you’re referring to is modular.
yeah thats what i would prefer. mix in varied monster spawns like he said with a modular randomizer and it would go a long way imo
Custom dungeon challanges that individuals with high dungeon mastery points can create and when players lose lewt in the dungeon it has greater chance of putting out quality gear.
how does that sound
Mario maker?
basically, thats what city of heroes did : P
aside from fact coh wasnt a lewt based game.
or pvp : P
I think you either go full blown procedural or you go the map knowledge route
That stuff is always interesting, and players that like the genre/idea but dont enjoy playing may end up sticking around longer messing around with that kind of stuff. But it would be split from our stashes for sure
and seeing how they suck at it ya id rather the map knowledge route
But maybe i the future
future expansion or some shit
with randomly generated maps
everyone will expect to find the same mobs in the same locations
putting them randomized at least is nice cause it gives more unpredictability and games will be always different
just the enemies, not the maps
id rather have really high quality cuustom made dungeons than some shitty procedural ones
I think the main draw for creating the most unpredictability... is moving loot. Idgaf what enemy spawns in any room if i can loot and close a door thats what ima do.
If loot had a better variance, I wouldnt rush rooms
But that creates contested areas so its a good thing
But for the sense of immersion, wandering around slightly aimlessly actually searching for loot may be better than having contention, creates more happenstance combat than expecting someone around the corner camping the loot rooms route to center.
Pathing is very predictable, especially because we all have a map.
Seemed like most people either rushed middle or hung on the fringes looting
a random, procedural map would make larger goals difficult/improbable, though. no knowing if you're on the map with the golden key room, or where it is; getting to bosses, etc
or rushed every starting area.
well there can be a constant of a 'center'
a procedural system can be anchored to a constant section. A lot of procedural often has modules like that, or can appear procedural but be highly modular. Warframe was all modules iirc.
would imagine if they wanted to fix the starting issues a minority of players are having the best way would to have a 2 minute shift after the game starts and allow players to seal themselves in the starting room and wait for it.
that way if you get rushed you can just opt out like a turd, and the player gets a fleeing message.
to everyone who remains
I kinda get what you typed maybe? But I have an offshoot of that. What if the map ROTATED like a puzzle every couple minutes, A new map thats round instead of square, whoa
With a warning ofc, so you dont get squished
Or they just see a locked door and wait for you and now you're trying to just rush through everything cause you're already outside of the circle lol
nah would only work during the first minute, and you'd get a cowards penalty.
?
That doesn't really fix his point
In the new scenario they get this 'penalty' and assumably kicked from game. But prior to that moment the door is still closed, therefore occupied.
Until it opens, it gets camped
well then which would you prefer : P
Players that load poorly, load poorly.
Not waste development on this and work on something, nearly anything, else
If the game need to optimize, then sure, if some people are on windows 97, thats on them
These are the kids of suggestions I wish Suspense would post here first
Pretty much everyone should have an ssd by now
Oh the door would have to be locked, the starting room is tech your room.
but to opt out you'd have to lock your door, so being afk wouldn't effect that.
i mean, i played HDD, and i loaded in before character could move
o_O
ill probably play on SSD in next playtest though
Yeah I don't think anyone is getting to another team's spawn before they load in lol
Small indie game, didnt care what drive it was on, didnt expect to play it much
i have an SSD only for my operating system, i have a second one that SHOULD be used for games but i have wayyy too many things installed so most is on HDD.
eventually i will clean it up but im lazy
yes great suggestion just make wizard invis totally dog on rogues version, the stealth class
I remember my first ssd in like 2011 when most people still were on hdd
Loading in before everyone, so nice
Seriously @wintry forge post this crap in here first lol
watch out he might call the admins on you
I mean it already does, and should continue to do so. Wizards have magic, rogues dont. But the way it is atm is fine, its a video game not need to be realistic. Although wizard invis should probably be adjusted in some fashion.
hide works better then invis already, and I think they're likely to add see invis spell as well.
imagine being so hurt you @ a warden
if you try to use logic Wizards should just be gods of everything because they are magical and others arent.
rogues being a stealth class is definitely more relevant than the wizard having superhuman abilities
Main character syndrome kicking in for wizard
I'm about to be Jon Irenicus strolling the hallways. 6'4" Jacked to the gills. snap my finger and you explode
Main thing I want them to change about 'Hide' skill is have the cooldown begin on skill usage rather then upon exiting stealth.
Yeah and then rogue gets 2 weAkpoint attacks each with 50% weapon modifier
Should be able to hide, wait 40 seconds, cooldown in 10 seconds, and re-hide.
agreed
barb should be able to grab players like kratos and pull them in half
Does hide work anywhere? Even direct light?
Because you guys really want to experience rogues 2 tapping people without even being seen lmaooo
You guys don't seem to understand that anything can be changed at this point, so it's pointless to discuss class balancing.
I bet players were hiding too long so they had to nerf it tho : P
no need to think of it that way, wizards invis is just too fast of a cast, allows for too much movement and allows for stacking with haste, adjusting would just bring it down. Them having invis doesnt open the door to being the best at everything
Mostly pointless, we're just having fun lol
95% of suggestions are buffs to main classes or nerfs to classes ppl dont like
Agreed, please stop making suggestions
of all people lecturing about what should and should not be discussed
i was just referencing its bad logic that wizards have magic so they should be superior at invisibility. you could easily say they are magical so they should have an enchanted battleaxe that weighs nothing so they can 1 shot barbarians. "magic" in nature is a nonsense reason to justify him being better
You guys are criticizing the suggestion because of...balancing. That's why it doesn't make sense to be discussing it at this point.
New suggestion; Add defication, players who spend too long in the dark eventually need to use a corner and the sounds they make can be heard 2 rooms away.
95% of people criticize suggestions and @ a warden after they cuss you out
Just drop the topic.
I can hear you guys 2 rooms away.
Seriously, post your idea in here, see what people think. It's not hard
I have an interesting idea, probably stupid . Secret stashes you can find and place things in inside the dungeons, like a loose brick that highlights. It's always a different spot each game so you won't always find it. Call it a "dead man's stash"
Lmao if i was a dev i wouldnt even be looking at these channels
they dont anyway
I don't mind people disagreeing with my suggestions, but I'm mainly doing it for the devs.
any time a dev spends looking at this chat is time wasted 😂
Everyone knows my newest suggestion is gold.
The amount of shit you would have to sift through for one mediocre upgrade lmaooo (literally)
The stash would be persistent so what you placed in there 2 matches ago is still there
Currently circle time is soo short - and why would you place stuff in there?
I don't know that's why I'm throwing the idea out there 👀
Put some extra bandies you don't need idk
Circle time is fine imo you have all the time you need
Read in context please
honestly i like the idea Borg. kinda like a stashed weapon in a Hitman mission
Yeah like that
only if I can rob your stash
Hmm...not sure about that part, I think it just wouldn't highlight for other players
stashes like tarkov that are just discreet, harder to see lootable chests would be cool, but i can't imagine ever wanting to remove something from my inventory only to have to go retrieve it later
Nobody is stashing anything in a dungeon lol its either going with them or getting thrown down
Wait for someone to loot from their dead man's stash and then kill them?
that's just camping with extra steps 🤣
If you're talking about a stash people can loot, sure... isn't that just another type of chest?
I just want lv1 dg to be a city with guards and pvp is difficult unless you manage to drag someone into an alley to kill.
The difference is you're just putting stuff in it for another match since it's persistent
😳
