Bruh it hasn't even started yet xD
Hi
Early bird gets the nightmare goblin morph
wut
Hm
Bring player statistics button back to lobby
wat da
I'm the goon goblin that just got you btw
Who made this channel?
Gray
Pretty cool!
We should get a arena channel similar to the class channel with a role to discuss arena kits
is there any way I can suggest that? or are you guys able to send that up potentially?
This is alot of channels xD
Your right..
Im breaking the balance with a new channel lolol
Now we can talk about Mob tactics
Has anybody used a goblin mage as a goblin yet? It does crazy amounts of damage
Ive basically done dealmaker quests for free stuff so easily now thanks to all the kills
can we get channels for each weapon type
War Hammer channel pls @west nymph
arrhhhh-aaa, I am a mob
What da channel even is
What is Faustian bargain
It is where, if you die in-game you have certain conditions met, you get to turn into a mob at random
Neat
you're smelly and also a goober!
28 affinity
Loving the system
@storm radish please add dragonfly and mabye a favorite mob toggle so you can get lower affinity mobs again on a chance
faust i've come to bargain
Dirty faustians!!
Faustian Warlord when! 
absolute menace
those jumping headshots
double jump rogue has a new competitor
faustian bargain
Does affinity do anything to what mob you get?
faustian bargain
Who up faustianing they bargains
me being hunted by terminator goblins

yes
@stiff patrol #the-tavern message
Your wish has been granted! 🪄 A Faustian bargain channel
Wow...that's great!!! Now how about a lfg-TestServer channel as well. Show some love to the Test for a change.

Goblins on top
Nah skeletons are so much faster
My favorite is Frost Skeleton Archer
Mostly because absolutely nobody expects how fast that sideswipe comes out
Has the bargain been reenabled in HR following the patch?
I question why the tokens used for bargains can’t be exchanged at higher rates for better quality monsters.
Also funnily enough they silently buffed Normal Skeleton Archers movespeed
I think they're as fast as elites now
Are you saying this is as in when can we play as him, or are you challenging us (me) to solo Warlord as a Faustian Bargain
Because I think the only Bargain that would make it possible is Skeleton Guardsman so you can block the sideswipe
Joblins doing work in the dungeons
Spider mummys tho... not so much
Press 'g' reset, retry
Faustian in HR shouldn’t be a thing imo
Is it?
No it isn’t, I misread what you said my bad 😭
Go GC way easier
If I see such a poor misunderstanding and there are no other dangers around, I give the guy the opportunity to complete the quest)
spider mummy is a great one. you get to really mess with people's movement and mess up fights
i fausted so hard she started to bargain
wait you can be a spider mommy??
Is this back in hr yet??
I want to be a spider pot, just spawning spider mummys.
Imagine if u could be a death beetle
Just floatin around out of range waiting to slow a mf
How do the bargains work me and my buddy haven't been able to use them yet
More XP you get in dungeon or at least more damage you deal to mobs or players increase your token count for that raid
Most I've had was 5 but the floor closed lol
REMOVE THIS GARBAGE
I disagree
i disagree on this update
i kill a 3 man and the all get 3 goblins and focus me down when im stuck bcs pve and them i lose a full bis kit
and its not happend 1 time
I disagree
its like the 10 time i died bcs goblin ar op
they balanced this shit)
But it's very fun.
no it isnt
Yo, new chat
Only thing I have to say is if the goblins and shield skeletons shields always block even when not actually blocking, then player's shields and blocking weapons should do the same again. I remember when a longsword on my back blocked a crossbow bolt. Now let's see all Rangers and Fighters carrying a Pavise on their backs to turn around and tank hits.
Really that should just be turned off and give shield-bearing mobs the ability to block and if they have a secondary attack, make it a skill
hey wish granted faustian bargain chat woohoo
i just killed a decently kitted barb as an elite goblin and while it was fun it also felt bad
I can just get free hits in like nothing
this system is fun but also poo
Crossbow ranger turning around for free reload on repeat sounds like agony lol
This. And allow us to spectate potential mobs we can bargain into.
Like if the first selection is in some obscure part of the dungeon, select another
Spectate is too strong. If you can see where players are and scout them out that’s incredibly unfair especially when teaming.
Before bargain, people steamroll dungeons not worrying about anything. This brings the danger back to it I like the idea
Actually people still steamroll dungeons
sdf?
Has anyone figured out how it works entirely couple days ago I could faustian yesterday it said I'd have like 2-3 after I died and wont let me do it
Frost Wyvern Hide for one Faust coin? W
What determines the amount of charges you get
who up straight gobbling it and by it haha lets just say, my faustian bargain
This option for play mob is the best thing in patch but i think swordsman must be nerf (pirat) to fast
Yep it's broken
Killing a player should have actual rewards outside of the vendor
Sdf is my lover
@chrisro Seems like it could be a hidden xp bar. Around 7 goblins will get u 1 token. So think around 15 xp for the 1st token. Could be higher value as u go up and change but idk for sure. 2xp for minor mobs or around that and the mini bosses can net u a ton more. depending on the mini boss even. All speculative bc there doesnt seem to be any visual tracker. However, it is tested.
Opinions are a cool thing.
Play HR it's disabled there
kinda not wrong bro i agree with the frost goblins they glitch sometimes and still hit legs
forget the faustian remove nightmares atp
The mobs for faustian need to be balanced around wolf (because its frankly the most balanced and fun to play)
Negatives that balance it first
-
it effectively cant headshot, and therefore deals light damage, and due to its lunge but contact range damage, it also cant really effectively hit and run anyone for non traded damage but unaware targets (and its loud as shit, so good luck with that) - wolf also cant break objects, so you can in theory use door cheese etc.
-
on the positive - wolf is fast enough however to be able to both scout the Map and pick fights that the player actually wants to take.
It had a pair of abilities that actually do something, and have potential outplay options
In essence, a wolf is unlikely to 100 to zero you if you just fight it, and can be avoided with actual clever play (doors, ranged weapons etc.)
It might be wise to either (and nerfing certain mobs speed will be a part of this later part)
Grant faustian mobs a directional Indicator to the nearest adventurer - whether that be a "universal" activated ability on cooldown, ranger tracking or other option to find adventurers
Or
Have the speed of a mob scale based off distance to adventurers, that way you can navigate the map to find them, but the cant do... well... current pirate things (close in speed should exceed like 305 movement, enough that you can still catch players, and potentially not get run down with smart counter play- unless your a ranged mob)
Lastly, faustian should be a "rolled" list of three different options that you pick one from (so you can both enjoy the affinity system - and can avoid mobs you dislike, most of the time)
didn't it get re-enabled?
i actually didnt check that
would be crazy if they did not like they made any crazy changes to nightmare mobs
ima about to unlock the axeman today with this next daily
Not that I was aware, I've only heard it's been disabled
super hype wanna try him out badly
i think that would make bargain way too good
the vendor makes it so you can play plenty of bargain in one day and get some solid rewards out of it
without making it something people are going to do all day and get rich
mummy spider actual TRASH why is it so high in the rep
because its tiny
sdf make spider mummy 50x smaller when youre doing bargain 
its not but ok
ezbloc
oh no 😱
Make zero to hero actual HR and keep Faustian enabled there
wait i forgot that mode existed
but that would be so cool to play on HR
nightmare skeletons would be claiming victims like crazy
anyone kno what rep u need for the 3rd wave of new npcs for faustian ?
dont go past 9 rep if you want to keep gobbys and pirate swordsmen, its all downhill so far
got no choice gotta see what u get at the end
give me a min i have a spreadsheet
why do i keep getting the red lizard mob when I use faustian-bargain
User error
mobs shouldnt be able to attack and jump at the same time
PETEEEE I LOVE YOUR CONTENT!
i wanna get that mob i never get it
When do I get to faustian bargain back as skinny pete
U should be able be a spider pot
Do you guys think we should get gear back from goblin merchant if the bargain deal is a thing I think it's worth doing the bargain
doesnt only pve have insurance?
STOP THE LIZARD WARS
ITS NOT BLUE AGAINST GREEN AGAINST RED ITS REAL LIZARDS AGAINST ALBINO ARISTOCRATS
its not lizards against lizards its lizards against crocs
human against all else, rahhhh
stripe cats vs agi cats
I think this is a fair compromise to keeping Faustian in geared HR lobbies. I personally loved goblin merchant when I was starting my HR journey. Made it way more accessible to a non -BiS wearing noob
yes
I'm just a skeleton
My barbs name is Albino Superiority and I go around spamming Hold the Line while my duo spams Praise
ahhhh heck nah
you playing barb 🤮
I play everything except other lizards and rangers.
it was a joke lol
i was pointing out barb instead of the albino thing
acting like that was okay rather than barb
layers to that one
Ok kiddo

Remove faustian bargain
i will ask the Bosses
thank you 🙂
we don't control that. that's a big guy decision
i see LOL makes sense
👁️
watter map sttill unplayble due tto pirate swordsman gj coppermallett
Think they need to nerf the attack speed on goblins and such, the fact they swing faster then people are crazy
YES
GIFS THIS IS THE BEST CHANNEL EVERRRRRRRR
if I was in a competition where the goal was to forget to remove gif perms and graysun was my opponent I think Id lose
How exactly do you get the Faustian bargain?
by gaining xp in dungeon from killing mobs looting high level chests
do i have too play as a skelly to be able too get goblin at lvl 1 rep
Nope just play gobo caves
What’s your affinity?
I was doing really good keeping it max but one day I was only getting the WORST mobs
And couldn’t complete the 500 dmg so I’m 2 behind now :((
its 0 affinity cant hit shit as a normal skelly
That was actually the hardest
Getting past the first one
I spent hours until I got my first hit
I acted like a Skelly
But then I got 23 dmg
So I decided to try gobbo caves and I got a goblin after a couple try’s
And then afterwards Ive been grinding that quest line since daily
im alway getting skelly in goblin caves sadly. 24 times in a row and just gave up
go be a crab on the water map then?? It's not that hard lol
only getting skely there too
it's a 50/50...
hell i dropped a bag and chest in norms before getting 1 not skelly run
can you spawn as anything cool with such high affinity
like mini boss or smth
skele champ
damn i need to grind then bruh
Would be cool to get a chance at becoming a boss. Necromancer roaming around the dungeon door to door would be an interesting twist
damn. howd you get through the early levels without extreme suffering
Play goblin its rly good (basic goblin)
tried that. only get skeles :(
ye its random, unlucky then
https://tenor.com/view/willys-wonderland-dance-gif-20839965 Me when I get pirate swordsman
smooth sailing after 1 affinity then its over when you get to 18
what do you unlock at 18




oh god
you know what water map gives at 18 ?
Nice
Spider mummy is optional
If you go watermap and kill every single spear skelly in bottom left of the map you will get pirates
And you will help every other faustian bargin avoid skelly in your game
i dm i want if possible if you have list
🐟
best class for mob killing?
Cleric and barb
can you die off drop to get faustian bargaining or how does that work
Purification on every map other then gc and barb in gc
Its an exp based system
10 normal mobs will get you one bargin
ty
It will be slightly less for elite or nightmare mobs
If your starting out your best bet is water map to 1 affinity then gobby caves to 4
Gooby caves is best till 10. Affinity then water map is best
how do you get tokens for faustian bargain ?
nevermind im dumb and learned how to read
i get skelly every time on water map, is that all im going to get?
What affinity are you
You will get skelly or crab
ive got sword guy every time and gotten pissed
If you want you can kill all the skellys bottom left
And remove them from the pool
On water map
Id use purification cleric and you can clear them all in about 2 mins
That and there is one single skelly spawn on an island in bottom right
But 99% of games someone kills it for the lions head
At 1 affinity swap to gobbys
0 affinity crab is the only really viable monster
damn you a faustian professional
im 28 affinity rn
just wanna help people because its hard early
gonna be 32 affinity today
unless all i can get is white axeman
ill prob stop at 50
centaur dosent seem worth 20 more lol
Honestly id just find your favorite mob and stop there
I wish I stayed on slime longer
u cant go back?
Skelly foot man is like 5% chance at later ranks tho
For some bizzare reason
I think if none of that mob type are available and undmged you can go back

Like if I kill every skelly on water map i can't become skelly
So it gives me pirate
Ive been doing that to avoid the skelly variants in white form
You dont even need to kill them just hit one time
And they become invalid
Like why do you never get slimes normally because they hit each other
When they clump up
And all the slime rooms are spawn rooms
wait do you have like the whole list of mobs? this is interesting to me i wanna see what kinda mobs you can be
U can be whatever u want buddy!
like literally any mob ?
No
then what are you saying ? 😭
Sent
Nothing flying
Basically anything that dosent fly u can be
I wish they gave you 2 mobs to pick from
Or a favorite mob
So you can have a lower teir mob easier
Pick a mob you love and level it up with the tokens for a percent chance to get that mob over a current affinity mob
Might be a bug tbh mabye your ment to get other mobs
How do you guys feel about the power of pirates in water
I think the water should be dangerous but pirates need less hp for players
They are a little too tanky and too fast
Atleast the white ones
And they should probably have an air meter
They are humans after all lol
Almost just died to one that came out of nowhere and only survived because there was a ladder and I had a teammate lol, they are a menace
Ngl bargain is just showing how strong mobs would be if they had better ai
I love it, only big balance I would make is slow monsters when they jump and when they land from a jump. Also put a cool down on jump so monsters can still get around, but less than players.
Maybe a special animation for jumping and landing for each monster kind.
I wish they made this a full on class thread
is there a list of mobs you get with affinity somewhere?
Faustian needs more incentive, rn it's just a grief fest but fun.
Need rewards for killing player mobs / players as mobs
You can get the coins from killing player controlled mobs
take this shit out of the game please
Not enough, plus it's not guarnateed
Please remove this troll feature
What do you think you should get from killing them?
No
If you go water map you can get the crab at 0 affinity
I think you only need 1 or 2 affinity to get goblin though
1 affinity
insurmountable task
you could get crab but most likely a skeleton since they’re 0 affinity as well
doesn’t help that crabs are mostly dead since they’re a quest mob
Yeah ik, just trying to help that guy push past the skeleton wall
if he’s lucky and not all the crabs are dead
I got crab on my second water map run
lucky, crabs are usually dead cause their shell is a quest item
How do I report teaming in this awful fucking feature
Fighting a fighter with 1 Elite Player controlled Goblin and 1 Player controlled goblin ABSOLUTELY teaming on SOLELY me
if it’s not high roller, i don’t think they care.
No cause this shit is stupid
I should not be getting teamed this fucking hard
It's not even fair
What's all the points of wanting to stop teaming but then do shit like this
roleplay i guess lol
It's not even fucking roleplay
What am I roleplaying
The victim??
Watch Faustain Bargain Teaming by FactualChat and millions of other Dark and Darker videos on Medal. Tags: #darkanddarker
a dead body of course!
Like who asked for this feature bro it's so god awful
at least it’s not in high roller
yeah cause nightmares were way too strong
But literally losing fights to geared people in norms just because he could be pre-teaming or just teaming with goblins bro?
Like
Shit should be bannable
Like I don't even get it
Your goal is to kill anyone who aint a goblin not team with them as a second life
it’s in the testing phase
They were always closer to you than him in the clip, why would they give up a close chase, especially against a cleric
It's just awesome
They literally followed me through like 5 doors
And would break the door for the fucking fighter
So he could just keep chasing
i would as a mob
All I know is what's in the clip
I literally have a clip of them and the fighter just jumping and the fighter taking my shit and leaving without an issue
But they hunt me through 5 doors because this fighter sucks shit
And I'm owning his dog ass
Like holy fuck bro
well, friendly does exist, it’s normals, teaming isn’t bannable
Then I might as well pre-team with my friends and their goblins right
That's totally fun, fair, and fantastic
I'm being Sarcastic you brick wall
Being able to do that is fucking stupid
You get assigned a DIFFERENT Team for a literal ingame purpose
Its only normals, you don't lose much anyways
But if your just going to use it as a second life to team like
People run Norms in gear and lose things because they are too afraid of the artifacts later in wipe in High roller
you’re trying too hard in normals
That and High roller is just rats anyway
4 rogues in 1 lobby
Norms is basically the new HR if you have the right lobby atp
Purple max though, you can play 1 HR and get better gear
Purple is still purp
Not as much sure
found legendaries very fast in hr so true
But your still losing something
Still: Outskilled my opponent just to die due to a horribly thought out game mechanic
So you gear up and go again, it's not that deep
I will be at peace when this shit gets a proper re-work or put under the works for being better
Like if this shit is a consistent problem bro
go next!
Not gonna enjoy the game as much
if you thought this was bad, wait for a couple of weeks and people will be able to play as the minibosses!
win a fight and they all come back as centaurs
really hope they give the faustian sharks the death roll
if they do, i’m spamming that!
regular ai sharks are already good at spacing and attacking, now imagine a player doing that as the shark!
I hope i can flop around on land
i guessing not since the ai ones can’t get on land
I mean the ai skellys dont swim
very true, don’t know how the shark would move around on land if it even can
Land shark
Wait I’ve done the bargain like 10 times and gotten a foot soldier every time, is this normal or just awful luck
Are you 0 affinity?
daily task "excape gobo" level impossible
well no, goblins got nerfed so they’re less effective


fighting it though, is still hard to do
whocares? if most of society love this
did they change how it works im only getting skellys on water map and im 15 affinity i was getting pirates all day yesterday
Was just meming lol. errybody and their mother doing gobo rn to finish the bargain quests. so its a nightmare to escape
understandable, everyone complaining about fighting player goblins head on when they move way faster than the goblins
should still be getting pirates, guessing unlucky spawns
SO
IM DONE EARLY TODAY
im gonna be queing uswest and hidinhg under the bridge with my druid
mabye find me or mabye dont idk
they absolutely shadow nerfed your ability to get pirate swordsman like ~2 hours ago
RIOT
prob true
i think they fixed the only giving you high rank mobs bug
ive played atleast 10 games with usually 2 tokes and ive got a crab and a bow pirate once each all others have been skelly
what affinity ?
19
18
are you getting spearman
just archer skelly most
yes im getting spearmen around half the time
they have to have particularly shadow nerfed the pirate
what affinity you need to do faustian in hr
it’s disabled
they are tweaking it
whack
goto bottom left of pirate map and die there u wont get skelly
i want the pirate
think they mean to kill all the skeletons at the bottom left so you can’t spawn as one
ive tried and it took too long and i still didnt kill them all somehow it found one to give me
oh ill try that
incorrect, i spawned as one of the pirates that killed me lol
then im wrong
ive never spawned in the same area
yeah i thought i have to lowkey but idk
in 32 affinity
yeah my body was right above the area i spawned as a pirate
then im wrong
that was yesterday though, haven’t tested it today
how you got the extra affinity?
i kill all the skelly as cleric with purification and its gravy tho
probably did it from day 1
wym extra ?
thank god, i was only getting spiders
ive gotten 4 every day
yeah 1 for the first 2 quests then 2 for the last quest
so 4 per day since it’s a daily quest
but the stuff the dealer sells is so good
ive been buying the water ore
wonder what crafts it’ll be for, maybe swimming faster in like plate gear?
or like dust leather gears
like copper and cobalt dust ones
oh and rubysilver and gold
would be cool to have gear that speeds you up in water
so out of like 16 runs i got pirate swordsman 1 time and it was 2 hours ago
this shit is rediculous
rip, maybe it did get stealth nerfed
it has to of bc i was getting it like every time yesterday
yeah i was getting it every time yesterday but haven’t played today cause of work sadly
they didnt stealth nerf it
you just got the right affinity for skell spearman
so you have the highest chance of getting that mob
its like 30% spear 20% bow 50% some low level garbage that isnt the pirate bladesman
oh yeah spearman is high up there
Just kill all the skellys
very true, go cleric and show them the power of GOD!
they definitely did
is that why im getting nothing but spider mummies and weak a** skeletons now?
no more swordsman or at the very least the affinity required for getting it has gone up
im only getting axe trhwoers since i unlocked it so idk
It keeps giving me the highest one ive unlocked tho
So im stuck with spider mummy on goblin caves every time
I've only been getting spider mummies for some reason, is anyone else experiencing this?
my affinity is at 20 rn
yeah cause it gives you your highet and spider mummy is unlocked at like 18
idk either
no one wants to play as a spider mummy man
i cant do it on goblin caves rn cause of that
24 is when you get goblin archer
yeah but you will still get spider like i am cause there is not a lot of archers on the map
very true
You can unlock monsters in faustian? I only ever got normal skeletons. Do i have to hit people to unlock things?
How do you know what you unlock at what affinitiy?
you have to do Dealmaker’s quests to get affinity with him for better mobs
there is a list of mobs
Okay, how am i supposed to hit a player with an normalen fucking skeleton?
third party or something, cause skeleton footman sucks
Mind linking?
no :3
Yeah, seems to be the best method. But most of the times i have problems even finding someone on the map.
i did it on frost mountain since you get to be frost skeleton guardsman so the shield is good till 1 affinity then you go to goblin caves for goblin swordsman
I'll try that. Thanks 🙂
only problem is that you’re sooooo slow and loud
does anyone know why i cant faustian anymore? its like greyed out even after getting enough xp
but you only need to deal 25 damage for the first quest so it’s not bad
wanna do the rest of my dailies]
Wasn't aware this channel existed. Nice to know I'm not suddenly going insane and they most likely did something to the pirate spawnrates as of a few hours ago
Unfortunate since it made getting my dailies done really easy, but the navy seal pirates were absolutely ruining things for everyone who wanted to play normally
i guess theres a daily limit on the amount of times you can transform? they keep charging when i get enough xp but i cant use them
unless im doing something wrong
My guess is there's a limit to how many people can faustian at once
they dont transfer between matches
7 mobs is 1 charge
think you need 20 for 2 charges
nah its 8 kills per charge
as long as its not a renewable mob like a spider
7 definitely works
oh fr?
yes
hmm did a test yesterday and i didn’t get a 2nd token with 16 kills but 20 i did
ive always done 8 and nnever tried
Faustian needs to be removed!
ill try 7 next time
Nice
yea even at 30
im still getting spiders pretty often
Hate spider mummy rn without hr
just tried 7, ty for the tip 👍
or at least it should only activate with player kills
I think they are reworking the drops for hr
To make it more worth to kill for players
its just the mobs are way too strong in hr
It should just def not be in high roller it’s so annoying to deal with Faustian
It needs an indication
if its nightmare
they need to make it so you have to get a player kill and you cant spawn as nightmare
I'm not sure if pirate is nerfed hard in terms of spawn chance or straight killswitched. Can anyone confirm that they're still getting pirate spawns?
Some of the nightmare mobs are the only ones worth playing
no i play gobbo caves for my quest
Like spider
yea
but they should also just get rid of spider
or at least make it the starting mob
cause it being 18 affinity is hilariously stupid
Its good to have roadblocks
i guess but i dont think that was their idea with it
it seems like it worked out like that
I think they thought it would be hr spider
any reccomendation for a map on 8 affinity?
Witch has a root
Water
thank ya
skelly archer is broken on the water map lol
It walks faster now
got nearly 500 dmg in one run
Juiced
you can just permakite people in the water because youre so fast
and annoy people by shooting them
but pirate archer is cooler!
its based and awesome when i do it as a skeleton and cringe and lame when i do it as a ranger
do you understand?
you really cant but its just out of melee range and you can cancel your shots for free
i don’t play ranged so i’m terrible
Just get close and spam
Ice ranger skelly has a melle
hr nightmare ice ranger was so lit
booooo ice range skeleton is too slow!
they can just run away from ya!
Mabye make it so you can opt into playing hr with faust enabled for better drops
doubt that, it’ll create another queue, they don’t like that
just remove the jump swinging and make it harder to get charges
HR used to have 0-124 and 125+
Hr already doubles charges bc hr mobs worth more
It just needs to drop like 3 coins and have an aura
Like blue eyes and blue aura
If nightmare
no need for that, since players can’t path like mobs do and the colors is a dead giveaway
no idea how they will do that in HR since almost everything is nightmares
If they see you have blue eyes from across the room and path depending on it
Your as fast as max ms players so
visuals wouldn’t matter if a nightmare player sees you anyways, they outspeed ya
A visual is needed
Fight or die!
Had a nice conversation with a guy over teamchat earlier today about the first state of faustian, and how while it's fun now it definitely isn't being used the way Ironmace intended. Instead of being a revenge mechanic tied to a new dealer, it's being used by most players as a funny griefing tool because certain mobs actually have really strong 1v1/ganking potential which feels super toxic to die to
its because youre rewarded the most by just going in and dying to mobs to grind quests lol
yeah that's more what i was thinking when i was talking to him
imo they need to either up the requirement for a token or make it solely pvp based. right now it's way to easy to throw yourself in with nothing, farm 7 goblins, die and spend the entire round terrorizing everyone with nothing to lose
Can you not become a pirate swordsman right now
Fairly certain they killswitched pirate, if not made it exponentially more rare than it was a few hours ago
Yeah it makes sense but also the skeletons are so fking bad it’s not even worth trying
Your best bet rn is just continuing to roll goblin warrior
Which is made even worse once you get to the point where you can roll axe goblins. It's insane how bad axe is compared to warrior
Yeah after the goblin warrior nerf it’s not nearly as fun
It wouldn't be as bad if the axe goblin didn't lose all momentum on jump attacks. The warrior is still viable only because their jump attack still carries them forward a bit so they aren't full countered by just backing up and whiff punishing
Yeah the fact they nerfed it is sad. Yes it was overpowered but it’s not in HR so who cares. I think they should maybe just limit the amount of Faustians at one time
Yeah man I havent gotten pirate for the last couple hours
something smells......... fishy
yeah it got nerfed bad, played as a crab even though i cleared the skeletons
Faustian Enjoyers if you go to ruins or ice caves and die in the expressman room you can possess mobs with the bargain, i just tested it on ruins, i works to loot a little bit and then go deposit and do shenanigans
yeah no, only getting tokens by killing players is very lame and will make it so no one uses the feature and the least thing you want as a developer is for no one to use the new feature you implemented
Idk why what the developers want is of any concern. The concern should be the consumers. Unless its all about developers ego
The last thing developers want is their latest feature ruining the game because of its inherent toxicity!
Just make a game mode called goblin rush or something where players spawn in as goblins to hunt one guy or whatever, if people want to play as goblins
have they disabled the pirates or am i getting really unlucky
Its clear how this feature is only sabotaging for the people that survive the longest in the lobby. Clearly, good play is not rewarded, but going in with nothing, suiciding and becoming a goblin to ruin peoples day is rewarded. Which is just bonkers to me
this feature is to adress the issue of people rushing modules to to go straight to objective aka boss rushing, if you don't want to get "ganked" by 4-5 mobs then clear the rooms you are passing by, maybe not completely but atleast kill any mobs annoying enough
Hmm ok so what feature will be added to adress the issue of players going in only to grief the last squads because they themselves are not good enough to extract?
its not hard to kill a player controller mob
Maybe when you die as a goblin, you respawn again as your character but this time you have 100% move speed and hp increase, oh and you teleport behind the other players while your character says "nothing personell kid". Idk im just spitballing here but that would sound like a pretty hood feature to me!
Killing them is not the issue! The issue is 4 mobs griefing you at boss, or blocking doorways when you are fighting the last squad!
its normals, you arent missing out on good boss loot or losing an insane kit
The issue is the teams you just killed are allowed to come back and grief you. Players who lost a fight are being rewarded and players who survived long enough are being punished
its normals, its not that deep
unironically this, brother loosing his marbles over normals loot...
Yep it is a meme, so why even wasting time trying to balance it? Just remove it tbh!
Make it a end of season exclusive event or something
why remove fun
fausti fausti
If you can't kill basic mobs that have a player behind them thats on you my guy
Idea is fun , maybe fix the water speed ,lot of ppl are griefing on the new map with Faustian bargain :/
did they make a change to pirates? I dont seem to be able to bargain into them anymore
probably upped the required merchant affinty
i would of preferred if all the hours it took to code faustian was used on coming up and adding new spells and perks 🙂
I love Faustian bargain, made my whole arena kit from it, although lvl 22 now all I get to control is spider mummies that are absolutely atrocious
Seems like higher you go the crappier the mobs you get
it gets worse before it gets better
lol 🥲
although frankly Id love to be a spider mummy and befriend a guy so I can use my spider body to fling him at his foes
I don't think the archers are that bad.
They arent bad if you have a teammate 
Should be a part of a casual mode with rotating modifiers
They are rarer
But still thete
There
Player goblins are still busted, idk why action speed on player goblins is like 2-3x faster than pve, skeletons dont have this issue, and you cant keep momentum jump attacking as skeletons either.
Nerf player goblins hard
The attack speed is the same
Player mobs just don’t really have an attack cooldown
Then put one in, cause this is ridiculous
It sure is
Normals is casual, more queues definitely isn't the answer either
I agree, but I also don’t think normals is the place for this type of mechanic
It would maybe be fine if you couldnt spawn as a elite, for example, one normal goblin? Easy, two normal, annoying but can be done, an elite? You are gonna take about half of your hp, two elites? Just run if you have no ranged weapons, especially true if they are buffed by a mage
You can’t really run unfortunately, they can break doors like a barb
Tiny red angry barbs lol
did like 8 spawns in water map and didnt get pirate once, its shit now
Your only hope is a open static
the gear isn't minted lol you can't make an arena kit from faust
You didnt need minted last time either
i dont expect it to continue that for the full wipe but yea perhaps
Arena was a lot of fun with minted gear, I just wish it was minted to the account and not the character. Tedious otherwise
Minted was fun for those who had the time to farm for gear themselves I agree.. but non minted allowed for alot more people to purchase gear and participate at a competitive level as others
been a long while since they had a full mint season
WHY THE FUCK IS THIS FEATURE SO FUNNY!???
Faust is some of the most fun I've had with this game in a long time. I hope they keep it and expand it.
guys does the affinity on the dealmaker stay or reset daily? (could be a stupid question tho)
Any affinity you gain will remain for the entireity of the wipe. You can gain up to 4 affinity per day by doing the dealmaker's quests.
thank you very much good sir
Does the affinity only have effect on the vendor ?
Also affects the type of mob you get, the better the affinity the better the mobs
the quest are daily, the affinity stays, the more affinty uou get the better mob you can posses
Any word of devs adding a gorilla mob for us to Faust into? 
it wasn't funny when I was chased down by a pirate in the ocean last night 
I think if you Faust a monster it should go up 1 tier. Playing as a normal skeleton feels bad, but even red skeleton feels great. I'd assume nightmare skeleton feels spectacular
nightmare is like putting butter on a toast
So, I'd (Dare I say) Cream my Jorts?
you would need a full on replacment after ruining them
God, I just gotta run castle Adventure to see
Yeti

Is this confirmed or you’re just guessing now?
?!?!?!?!?!?
please for the love of everything remove base skeleton from the playable monster pool
This is true except for spider mummies at 18 affinity btw
This with spider mummies
please for the love of everything make spider mummies be the spider pot instead of just a single spider giving you unlimited lives 
@pliant bay i Think Faustian-Bergain should count when you extract and give you token to be mob, meybe max 2. It would be good
I think it would be cool if every kill gave you 1 token after the daily quests
Id never have to play as a real class again 
Real
would be great to have 2-3 chooces what mob you can posses after dead
and official info about points you need to has mobs like high-tier mobs
not more gambling 
somebody post the xqc reward token gambling gif
^^ me when the merchants be selling blues & goblin has a ring
I meant this one
ye olde meme #dnd-memes-only message
I see
Play as spider pot. Move camera to a top down view and give the player rts controls for spider mummies
move the camera? you asking too much of this dev team
I would enjoy that much more but there is absolutely no shot in hell that we'd get that 😭
is anyones bargain suddenly giving them weak mobs? I had been getting bola goblins and red pirates, now im randomly back to getting skele archers?
All I’ve ever gotten is crab or skeleton. So I wouldn’t know.
Even in goblin caves, I’m only getting Skelton. A regular one too.
Also, what’s with the skeleton in the golden key room? Why can you spawn in as that? You can’t even get out and the chances are slim if someone else will come there.
im affinity 14, and for some reason im back to skeles on ocean map
try to stay under affinity 18 as long as you can, or you will only get spidermummy in goblin cave, lol.
y that makes sense. at least lootable mobs
Bola goblin is a nice one. Not as good as the swordsman but its like second best gobo
Has anyone gone high enough to get the archers
Yeah archers suck
Damn
without a crosshair its hard to aim
Thats why I said bola goblin isnt bad. Cuz the rocks go far and have bigger hitboxes than arrows
if you hit goblin mage and lure it to cast spell, you will get a huge movement + action speed buff
that's good enough
As a buff machine really good yeah. As a damage dealer pretty bad
ARCHER SKELETONS
ARE SO BAD
I LEGIT GET NOTHING BUT ARCHER SKELETONS ON THE OCEAN MAP
affinity 7 for pirate sworddman
I AHVE AOUND 18
that's really bad luck for you

i wipe evearything out on the surface of the fortress
AND I GET A RANDOM SKELETON THAT SPAWNS UNDERWATER
?????????????
this is exactly what i was saying
i have 14 affinity. yesterday i was getting pirates and bola goblins adn even the red pirates. today, skeleton archers??
YO
they like
shadowpatched the pirats or some shit
i just spend half the match killing every single skeleton you can spawn as
and i spawn as a crab
id take crab over skele
actual bullshit
yes but what do i have affinity for if i can't even get the mob i have double the required affinity for
Yeah because we need people finding the most op mob to crutch on and grief people with every raid lol. People already do that with classes and it's cringe, just play the mob you're given or reset.
They nerfed becoming a pirate, I don’t think It’s possible anymore
People crying about getting griefed by Faustian should just go play high roller. Being an annoying mob is fun and shouldn’t be an issue in norms
I don't mind being griefed or griefing, but if you're gonna start crying you didn't get the op mob every raid I think we're taking the fun out of it a bit.
As fun as it was to terrorize lobbies with pirate, I admit it was super cringe. I don't blame people for being mad about it.
Tbh the ONLY change they need to make is reduce the amount of people that can be Faustian in one lobby
its not crying that we didnt get the op mob. its that we worked our way up the affinity chain, struggling to complete the quests on crabs and skeles and other shit mobs, earnt the stronger mobs.. and suddenly theyre gone?
Then it's super annoying when 10 people die and have to load into a full new lobby because 3 people already got mobs.
Even the goblin jump tech was fine, it was just the fact that there were 4+ goblins every raid doing that shit
It's not hard lmfao.
Don't act like it's hard to complete those quests. Or get affinity.
Hop on goblin, jump headshot, 25 damage quest done.
It's not hard at all. The hardest part is getting 1 hit as a skeleton and then jumping at people with goblin warrior every game after for free damage
Wipe a lobby on base goblin, mage buff, literally 3 tapping people with no counterplay.
Coda man is mad he can’t play Druid the gold piles on water map without getting attacked by Faustian pirates
ah yes trying to get 625 damage for the quest as a skele footman is so fun
Good thing you don't have to play skele footman lmfao
yeah let me just go do that real quick, oh wait, the game keeps giving me Zombie on goblin caves at 14 affinity?
Good thing they give you a button that lets you cancel and reset if you get a mob you don't want.
to be fair, affinity 0 to 1 is cringe. After that is fine
They nerfed this too buddy
And it only takes 30 seconds to kill 7 mobs.
@balmy dust Just did it this morning, sure didn't lmao
yeah pirate iusn't possible anymore
They did. It’s so much easier to dodge now
I'm not mad it's the way it is, you guys are mad you can't grief and that's funny.
killed almost every crab and every skeleton
and i get a crab spawn i didn't even know existed
Somehow we're living in different realities where people can't just play goblin warrior over and over again for free damage
playing the game using a feature that the devs put into the game, the way the feature was intended to be used, is griefing?
someone got slapped by a few goblins and lost their bis im guessing
He’s very smart don’t worry shadow
He brought his full purple BIS into norms because he’s too scared of HR then died to mobs GG
Or he was trying to money print as Druid on the gold piles and got smacked by a pirate GG
Nah y'all are just mad they took the blatantly broken mob out of the spawn pool. I loved playing pirate but that shit needed to go or get nerfed
No you're mad you can't play the game the way you used to be able to because they changed the feature, because it was too grief. And instead of just acknowledging that, you're just mad you can't do it anymore.
Nope it didn’t
If you wanna pull the dev card, they're the ones that nerfed it
So clearly they think it's too much
no im mad theres just no more usable mobs in the ocean map unless you have 50 rep
You are acting like the people wanting to keep the pirate also didn’t get griefed by it
yeah exactly, these people are coping hella.
Goblin caves is literally free damage, got 400 damage in one raid for my quest on footman base.
i actually never "cried" about it. i came into here and asked if anyone else was having the same issue im having, because as far as i can tell there was no patch. If there was a patch note saying it was nerfed, i wouldnt even be here.
It's either a skill issue or they're bad lol.
Can we please just have the list of mobs available and the xp to use them pinned in this channel at the very least for everyone to utilize?
Sometimes you grief sometimes you get griefed
what is the kill req for one bargain point on goblin caves?
25 damage, you don't need to kill anyone for these quests
7 goblins
oh
Based on xp probably
can confirm till affinity 18 this sheet is correct
yeah that
Until you get enough affinity to spawn as spider mummy 
Yeahhhhh . . . then you gotta reset more.
Just reset until you get goblin warrior. At a certain point you can roll axeman which is straight terrible compared to warrior.
That shouldn't be an option tbh.
i hit this and got 3 spider games in a row
No one even wants spider mummies in the game base 😆
i went to go farm it in ocean map instead
but theres just no good mobs on the ocean map
Literally just gotta reset until u get warrior, avoid axeman spawn, avoid archer spawn, avoid spider spawn, avoid the occasional zombie/skele spawn
Yeah GC is basically the only way to farm it now until you can get some absolute worldbeater like white shark
How many mobs do i have to kill to have 1 bargain chance?
7-15
Based on xp
roughly 5mobs + 10 object interaction
thanks
even then it sucks now
ppl team up against faustian players
just had 4 ppl focus me before they continued fighting
faustian is a stealth game now
Like I will say they should rework how mobs function in faustian to make them not feel like absolute buns to play, but it's a fine line between that and having a repeat of the Navy SEAL pirates that literally controlled the water on that map.
We either get unplayable mobs or unplayable maps due to playable mobs
the biggest problem with the swordsmen is the swim speed they could of just nerfed that shit instead of removing him
notice how it says TEST on the button you press to play as a mob? theres a chance they remove it entirely. the mobs were insanely op. there is no way playing as a centaur isn't disgustingly broken as well. cmon guys.
centaur in the faustian pool?
yes at like 50+ rep.
yeah for 60 rep
Cries in 20
I am a lil sad there isnt the absolute rarest of rarest chances to be the boss with no rep requirement. Would be so interesting but idk if it would be great to the playerbase trying to play the gaem regularly
I thought player kills give xp?
I 100% agree, if they're gonna keep the feature just make the coin drop 100%, then make it so you get a coin if you kill a player.
It would make half the lobby dying on purpose 2 minutes into the match after they farm 7 skeletons even more common
Otherwise the only people playing it are just doing it to grief people, because they have nothing better to do. Which is fine, again, but I'm sure the timmy ranger mining copper didn't enjoy getting mogged by a goblin jumping on his head.
ig u didnt read the whole post. but yeh ur right. i know that. along with teamers attempting it for free loot and other such things but if they are testing it. why not?
Make it to where there are goblin/skeleton merchants depending on the map and give people the ability to loot stuff with creeps and if they manage to make it to the merchant and turn them in they can collect them
Allow it to be player looted kills only so you cant just be weird and farm with creeps some how
So you gotta go find action
littarly just put on a headset
if ur mining ore and ur letting a monster approach you its on you
realistically you should never be losing to a player mob
they are slowly turning it into ANOTHER daily quest that is just gonna slowly make the game unfun
becouse trying to complete the dailies for dealer is PAINFUL
i've spent 2 hours today trying to max it out
What map are u doin this on? its a breeze on Goblin Caves
The 500 damage definitely sucks, but it's just a matter of time if you're rolling for only goblin warrior
but pirates got shadow removed from the pool (thanks ironmace, at least announce it cmon)
goblin cave players are slowly getting used to it and is getting impossible (bards that spam the damage song wich 2 shots goblins)
i couldn't even third party
becouse people will focus faustian mobs now
Goblin Poison for dailies makes it a breeze and consistently see people do it in 3 - 8 matches
pirate better
I JUST WENT 2 MATCHES WITHOUT A SINGLE SOUL
That's massive cope lmfao
The goblins literally 2 tap headshot
bro
Saying a rogue should be able to 1v1 a player red goblin is wild.
YOU CAN HEAR THE MOBS WALKING TOWARDS YOU
I reached affinity 18, I can only get spider mummy now
PUT ON A HEADSAET
You literally can't beat that thing.
lol stupid spider
@wanton merlin Audio doesn't matter my guy lmfao
I'll just run you down faster than you can move because I'm a red goblin with mage buff.
@patent bloom thats one of the reasons im not deciding to lvl up anymore. it seems like being locked into mobs for certain ranks like its a gun game match isnt right
XD
i have never died to a faustian mob
Good for you, didn't ask.
@round crystal are you american?
I've definitely been seeing more people team on player goblins, hell I've done it myself when an absolute G of a fighter decided we should stop fighting and reset to kill an elite player gob. It is admittedly REALLY annoying when you're trying to have a good fight and there's this little shit with nothing to lose trying to swoop in for a nuke's worth of damage.
^ lil shit with nothing to lose goin in for nukes worth of damage. too real
People will cope it's not op because it's fun.
It's fun, I've been doing it, but It's getting nerfed.
are you NA
Yea definitely needs more adjustments if it’s ever going to hr
Love griefing real players with actual inventories as a little nerd goblin with nothing to lose
