It is coming out, the qna last night doubled down on it
THESE ARE PROBLEMS, YES. THESE ARE PROBLEMS THE DEVS ARE CREATING ON PURPOSE. TTK BEING TOO LOW TO EVEN PROPERLY TEST SKILL INTERACTIONS BEYOND GETTING LEFT CLICKED TWICE IS AN EMERGENCY.
In fact they said they are hopeful it will address solo balancing issues
It's really only that bad for rogues and it's always been that bad
ALL THE DATA THEY'VE COLLECTED? USELESS. YOU CAN'T BALANCE A PVP EXPERIENCE MORE COMPLEX THAN POINTING AND CLICKING WITH RAZER THIN MARGINES LIKE THE TTK WE CURRENTLY HAVE.
Why are you naked/not building any damage resistance? Your personally making glass canon builds and than complaining
IM NOT EVEN AGAINST THERE BEING ABILITIES THAT ONE AND TWO TAP. THE ISSUE IS THAT EVERYTHING ONE AND TWO TAPS.
You can't lower the TTK with solo trio let alone adding a duo map
Lowering the TTK is gone, the idea is laughable
YOU ARE MAKING A GRAND ASSUMPTION AS TO WHAT KIND OF BUILDS I RUN.
I'm sure I'm not wrong
THEN YOU'RE STUPID xD
I RUN MDB AND PDB AS MUCH AS I CAN.
@signal osprey DO YOU REALLY THINK THE GUY WHO THINKS OF LOW TTK AS A DESIGN PROBLEM DOESNT TRY TO IMPROVE THE EXPERIENCE SOMEWHAT WITH WHAT IS AVAILABLE TO THEM?
Than how could you possibly complain about ttk. That's Wild. What are you looking for cod br levels of ttk?
I mean I've run high pdr and run slayer high damage, TTK changes about a hit or two unless they're running garbage kits
I WANT TTK HIGHER NOT LOWER.
This was in path+ though
Yeah I think that's dumb and solvable with what gear you wear
NO IT'S NOT LOL.
GEAR ONLY EXACERBATES THE ISSUE
"my issue"*
YOU ARE LITERALLY THE ONLY PERSON I'VE SPOKEN TO THAT THINKS TTK IS EVEN REMOTELY REASONABLE.
I think it's more than fine I don't want a whole conversation with the guy before we're dead
If your trading and complainging about ttk I personally believe that's a player issue
YOU'RE DELLUSIONAL
Your ttk is the way it is because your stat checking. Play better
NO. I WON'T. I WANT THE GAME TO PLAY BETTER.
Player issue
YOU ARE PATHETIC.
I'm average
Kinda cringe talking in all caps lmfao
NO, I MEAN MENTALLY. YOUR ABILITY TO ENGAGE IN A DISCUSSION MAKES ME LAUGH IN PITY OF YOU. THEREFOR I DESCRIBE MY IMPRESSION OF YOU AS SOMEONE WHO IS PATHETIC. I HAVE ADDRESSED YOUR EVERY SINGLE TALKING POINT, PROVEN IT INCORRECT, AND YOU WANT TO DEFAULT THE IDIOTIC GAMER PLATITUDE OF "SkIlL IsSUe". WORSE YET YOU'RE TOO MUCH OF A COWARD TO EVEN SAY IT THAT WAY SO YOU SAY "player issue". COWARD
I mean that to Is your personally opinion and I'd have to respectfully disagree
YOU'D BE RESPECTFULLY WRONG. GOOD CHAT.
Its because the game is balanced around fighter
Ehh
Which keeps the ttk around that level
I agree with caps guy, but not with how he communicates.
THANK YOU, KIND SIR.
All caps is wild yeah lmao
Fr
Why is he still in caps 😦
Usually its goes SRRY ALL CAPS lol my bad
Complete the game before worrying about balance will always be my argument
I am average at this game for sure, and I think getting one tapped by a zweihander if I miss a dodge is terrible. It would be different if there was more to the timing on the hit than dragging the weapon so that dodging against a good player was relevant. Against a good player a lot of the time its just first hit wins or throwable/range spam. I'd like to just see more back and forth to the fighting. Fights in normals are really fun and far from balanced, but its at least more fun with the higher TTK on whites excluding ridiculous white barb builds that are still one tapping in normals.
I fixed that, said lower intead of higher.
“Completing the game” is a nebulous thing that can go forever, balance is what keeps people playing NOW, and lets them test and work towards making it better
Like right now, playing HR as a guy who just won his first normal and got in with two blues and a few greens is.. impossible? The first juicer team of guys in gold capes will literally run through you like wet paper. Is that how its supposed to feel after a win?
As much as I dislike the current balance state, I don't think its fair to complain about golden teams oneshotting you when its literally end of wipe
A big issue is that people have gotten classes nerfed on a whim
Keep in mind I have no idea how you fix that or how to address it.
Ok take gold out and put in "min maxed purple set" cause in the current state thats still applicable.
my point still stands as its end of wipe so people have lots of op gear anbd disposable gold
IF GEAR SCALING BREAKS THE GAME'S PVP THEN THEY NEED TO NERF GEAR. PLANE AND SIMPLE.
BUT THIS IS A LESSER ISSUE AND I COULD SEE DIFFERING OPINIONS ON IT.
why all in caps?
Why caps
I TOOK A VOW.
this dudes weird
people will always get good gear
imo the biggest issue with gears is that damage and resistances dont scale proportionally and instead damage will always outscale defense even if you minmax both
People want gear to matter and people don't. I'm on the latter where I want gear to be marginal and skill to matter more.. the sliding scale is that skill factors in more with higher TTK and lets the less skilled players accel more if you lower it. You need a little of both because otherwise people will leave, but I don't know where a good mid point is. The problem with the way DaD is being set up is time investment = more gold = more op gear = you one shot people. Maybe that last part shouldn't exist and the playing field should be a little more level at that final stage to fix it.
Thats a good opinion too, maybe the defense/offense scaling is the problem.. I dunno.
it's both.
You jsut can't balance a game like this around people who play 8-10 hours a day, its gotta be balanced for the people who play 2 hours a day cause they are a much larger % and won't stay around if its balanced for the 10 hour players.
Self found loot is the answer to all these problems
Self found mode will take this game to a new level especially combined with roguelike multiclass
WELL, EVERYONE. UNLESS @glad thunder THE PERSON WAGING AN INTERNAL WAR WITHIN IM TO KEEP TTK LOW CHANGES HEART AND INCREASES TTK, THIS WIPE IS GOING TO BE THE LOWEST TTK WIPE YET. ARE YOU ALL READY FOR SMITE LONGBOW RANGER? BOC PHANTOMIZE BARB? YOU THINK TTK IS LOW NOW? WAIT TIL YOU GET HIT BY AN ACHILLES STRIKE WINDLASS.
Ready
Pretty sad tbh, the game is the most fun when the fights are slower.
TELL @glad thunder THAT.
Personally I think normals should be changed to "Gear Score Queue" so matches are balanced, and HR is "hard mode".. boom problem solved.. people can queue in gearscore mode with their couple blues and play against other people who won a common match and its the same queue. no more common only its just a gearscore queue SSF.
HE ADMITTED LIVE TO PREFERING LOWER TTK.
Game is about to become the wild west and it will be awesome
IM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT HONESTLY
not surprising since most IM devs are all rogue mains
TERRENCE SAID HE WANTS HIGHER TTK AND THAT THERE'S AN INTERNAL WAR ABOUT THE SUBJECT. WAR MIGHT HAVE JUST BEEN COLORFUL SPEECH. SOUNDS MORE LIKE THE SWEATS WHO LIKE TO ONE TAP RAN OVER ALL THE REASONABLE PEOPLE JUST AS HAS HAPPENED ON THIS CHAT EVERY TIME I BRING UP THE SUBJECT.
YOU ALL ASK WHY ALL CAPS? THIS CHAT MADE ME THIS WAY. IT'S THE ONLY CHAT WHERE I COMMUNICATE THIS WAY. MAYBE I'LL BE HEALED WHEN TTK IS REASONABLE.
imo I think that if someone thinks that low ttk in a slow and punishing hardcore game is good they clearly dont understand balance and should not be involved when making decisions about it
WHAT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHAT MAKES THIS GAME SO FUN AND CHARMING, AND WHAT MAKES ALL THE OTHER LIVE SERVICE POINT AND CLICK PVP GAMES INSUFFERABLE SLOP.
Wait, you didn't like Dunganadborne's flashy whirlwind one shots? Right click 180 degree block/parry? That wasn't awesome?! /s
that game only had two things going for it. auction house and shared stash tab.
Just your insufferable slop comment made me think of it.
it is an apt description of that game xD
DB is a fun game with friends, only thing was class balance was dog 💩. (3 ice mages is so fun to play against and sword master 1 shotting you from across a room)
and unfortunately a veritable graveyard of other games which had potentual but were ruined by listening to brainlet pvp sweathead gamers who only care about farming twitch clips.
OMG NOT CAPS
also I feel like IM doesnt understand that balancing is more than just increasing and decreasing damage numbers.
for example people complain about rangers, not because of dmg, but the fact that they can kite you forever while run and gunning
it's because i dont detect any of them present for the moment xD
if i see one of these said gamers tho, the caps lock goes back on.
^ This is so true. I don't understand why you would shy away from higher TTK with such a cool collision based melee system that they seem to have worked so hard on.
yeah everyone's like this game has so much skill expression, and it does. but none of it is really that relevant in pvp. there are of course exceptions but 90% is unga bunga left click and pray
If you reduce it to just stats, weapon types/patterns/etc all seem to melt away and it becomes "How bad is the movespeed penalty? How much damage does it do?"
@muted crow The TTK is something I'd like to see lowered as well, right now it just feels way too risky to actually fight with heavy gear due to it. Fighting someone without gear is a stomp and fighting someone with gear is a coinflip depending on who swings first.
I just want to see the skill expression shine more and not just for the ranged classes or the speedy ones, lemme actually stomp someone cause I'm better. Not just because I spent 15k on insta-kill gear.
dont you mean increased?
Funny enough I just made a video I finished today about the combat in this game. Not sure if I should post it here though or if that's frowned on.
yeah it's currently a stat coin flip when it should be a coin flip on whether or not the person i face is "him" or not. if i die to someone who just did something awesome. even in the case where it's an ability that does a shitload of damage but its risky and hard to land, i wouldnt be mad. but when it's just "oh he left clicked first" that's just... bad.
Did they reset for the new season?
friday
@muted crow thanks man
they delayed it once again due to some issues found last minute. Same old story
Exactly, I like the combat of DaD but it just feels stale at many points. I don't want to see them over complicate the combat, instead something new to just fights to the next level so to speak.
IMO Block/Parry/Utility Spells/CC Spells are a step in the right direction.
i have no problem with that but at current why would you bother with cc when you can just two tap them dead instead?
so wait, wipe didnt happen? i just got home from work. i read up a bit that someone said friday. is that 100% like, someone at IM said that?
they said it's delayed til friday
so after the wipe we will receive our rewards
damn. was part of the q&a's they agreed to do an agreement where the streamers promised not to ask if this wipe would be delayed? cuz no one i watched ever asked about that and it seems logical to ask since thats a problem every time. oh well. gonna play more rogue so i can see if it feels better after wipe. ty for response
It’s in #📢announcements
Lmao
They said It on the firdt Q&A, probably they said It again at the seccond and you have It at announcements 
the one on announcements was made this morning. its possible i missed the ones on the q&a's becausae i watch them at work
i'm not fuming or anything i just guess i missed it
No offence, just funny
That's kinda what I mean, make that CC important (Bringing up TTK)
none taken, just re-read what i typed and felt like "that guy" so i wanted to clarify lol
true. generally the more complexity the combat has the higher ttk needs to be. otherwise all that complexity is not given a stage.
if the win condition is too simple compared to the complexity of the game, you've made a simple mathmatical error.
Bingo. It just feels trashy that we have all these cool abilities and spells, but the combat boils down to MS and Ranged damage. Everything else feels “off meta” which is a bad spot for 80% of all abilities to be in
yup. it's literally asphixiating the game. not nearly enough breathing room for class interactions to develop. which is why people aren't into the group content either.
aside from pve. pve is what's currently saving the game
wipe not today
friday
Wipe is Friday
i see the time in rank say end today but not wipe , so sad
yo how about next season there's no countdown. it means nothing if its false information. thanks its been an awesome whole month waiting on this lol kinda dumb
yes
game's still up
they'll announce when its going down for maintenance.
probs not til friday
okay i just start yesterday and this shit is super exhilarating.
wtf is this supposed to mean?
How often does the game go on sale?
does the leaderboard close before wipe
It's only gone on sale once so far, so not very often
Also it wasn't a very huge discount, I believe only 15%
k
do the servers still lag and stuff?
bro you typed for like 15 minutes to say all that, gtfo lmao
wen do the leaderboard close
okay well dont say anything discriminatory. How is "executing" anyone who is sitting bad? Cause if I saw you and I could get the sneak then imma bonk the hell out of that head.
Is ranked Normals here to stay? Going to be available after wipe?
there is a subset of ppl who don't like doing pvp in a full loot pvp gamne
couldnt tell u why they bought it tho
NGL, I would really like a PVE exclusive mode added, thats just me tho. Its why I like the test a lot, player population there is very small and most of the time its essentially just a PVE with actual pvp once in a blue.
have u played the last three days?
If you're gonna tell me that it isnt populated, I get decently populated games on normal
?
sorry i read ur message wrong
i thought u meant the reggie servers werent populated rn
nah I mean the test servers, I like playing it if I want little pvp action.
Just curiose is it 100% more dmh on a headsht
why not reggie servers for pvp?
50 I think
K
wait no its 100, my bardiche does like 90 somthing damage and it says 45
K
I dont mind playing reggie for pvp, Im saying if I DON'T want much pvp action I play test
when are the 10days trial codes coming? mentioned in yesterday's the darkest hour interview
What is Very soon? When is wipe?
15 minutes
Thanks 🙂
It is not in 15 minutes. It's on the 15th. See #📢announcements

XD Yeah, to be clear it is NOT in 15 minutes lol, it was just a meme cause Onepeg said wipe in 15 minutes at one point for a previous wipe and we were all just repeating "15 minutes" for like 8 hours XD
sunny is correct however, it is in announcements and is on the 15th 😛
LOL
The real question is "When is the announcement about the next delay of the wipe?"
friday
I just ran into a team on the test server US east after seeing no one for 10+ games, we all just jumped for joy and spun around in happiness of actually seeing someone else. I know its test server and dont expect to see people so its fun when surprised.
i tought about something. A new service from a merchant that disenchant your rarity items. your item become white and you extract a material used for something else
i mean it was only a 1 day delay, it is not getting delayed anymore. They only needed one other day
is there somewhere i can see what all the content is planned for this next update?
expect your status quo to be changed
there are some videos that give recaps of the qna and adress what content but I can provide the main things that are coming with wipe.
New weapons/items
Gold gear being removed, legendary and unique items will be way way rarer start of wipe.
Randomized roles on craftables, but they are cheaper.
Quest progression so you can only do so many every week and cant do all of them at once.(also quest items mostly being less rare and some quests being more balanced and easier to do, especially early on quests)
The framework for the multiclassing system(full system will come a few weeks after.)
No druid on wipe, but most likely a few weeks later.
Reworks to many perks, skills, spells, some coming on wipe some coming later I believe.
There is a bit more content but I can't remmeber it off the top of my head. Would reccomend ryan6days a weeks video on the first dev qna, and onepegs video on the second dev qna if you want an even more in dept look, however ryan's video gives most of the info on content.
took 1 month to find 7 moldy bread for quest , maybe this update took 3 month to find all moldy bread
gotta wait for the bread to mold
i think we should unban teamers to have more players like they should get a temporary ban to not lose players permanently, like we have a low playerbase and instead of keeping them after they buy the game. we are losing them permantly.
nah
in league of legends they give you a warning for xploit of bugs and stuff, i think duping unique items is worse than teaming. but is just an opinion
so they had a wipe timer that ended today but it wipes friday? im confused
read announcements and pins in general, wipe was delayed by a single day. they said it in the recent qnas
wen Druid?
last day of wipe should have all legendary items and luck maxed out it would be so cool having those lobbies on the last day
I got a all gold pdr fighter kit I'm saving for solo HR last day of wipe. Y'all been warned
15th

Taken from the dev Q&A
"The first thing is that you can just level up infinitly to like 999 right. After level 20 each new level will take the same amount of exp."
from the wiki page - https://darkanddarker.wiki.spellsandguns.com/Experience
Levels | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 -> 20
Exp per lvl | 50, 50, 60, 60, 70, 70, 80, 80, 90, 90, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500
The total exp needed to go from 1-20 is 3400
So for every level after level 20 you will need 500 exp to level up.
So you will need 40,000 exp to go from 20-100.
500*(100-20)= 40000
Because 1-20 takes a total of 3,400 exp we can calculate how many level 20s we would have to level to get to 100.
So 1-100 is 43400 total exp and then divide that by 3400 you get 12.7647. Basically like leveling up 13 level 20 characters.
(3400+500*(100-20))/3400 = 12.76470588235294

The people smarter then me at the Spells & guns discord. Aka the wiki team
the xp system won't be the same as it is currently, just scaled to level 100. They are playing around with it and it won't take like 2 weeks to get a character to level 100.
I see "AP" mentioned a lot in the document, what that?
never
lol rip druid mains

Monk after druid I wanna mike tyson people to their death
id want that, only if they made it quarter staff dependant in geared.
it is an MMR mechanic introduced last season that turned this game from a pvpve extraction game to a pve&hide extraction variant
good luck with multiclassing without a lobby to even guess the skills of your opponents 🙂 this wipe will be madness
pretty sure in the QnA sdf specifically said they wanted this season to be crazy and for people to find broken combos etc. so that would be intended 🙂
I hope it's not TOO crazy, but a little bit of nonsense is appreciated.
A bit of shenanigans if you will
I just want a fighter that can cast spells.
🫃🏿
I'm just sayin... if I'm strong enough I should totally be able to wield 2 longswords dark souls style
looking for input on my new quest system suggestion
#1217731907006103612 message
I mean like a good 35 or 40 Strength and I can throw around my longswords willy nilly.
That begs the question though, would being able to put a secondary weapon in the primary slot and primary weapon in the secondary slot be op?
Like, what if I want my longsword to swing from the other side just because I put it in the secondary slot 
Wipe timer
It's very soon.
Haha what a fucking joke
little idea - blackpacks the more space they have the more movespeed you lose, (different rarities) cant take them off in game (substitute for cape )
Backpack unique can be a bag of holding 
THATS WHAT IM SAYIN
Honestly, honestly... op
ar on backpacks lol
it would be nice tho, too many gold kits dissapear in the dungeon due to little inventory space im thinking backback are most ideal for a pdr fighter. but maybe not if they had ar that might be op asf
just an idea i had tbh since i missed out on a whole kit
Well, I'm pretty sure they said something about a guy in the dungeon that you can give your gear to opposed to a safe pouch like EFT. I wouldn't mind at all giving the stuff I find to the mailman and grabbing it after the dungeon
that might be too op lmfao itf they did that it should have to come at a cost
Oh yeah, obv. Gotta pay the mailman
true, like depending on rarity it costs a certain amount per item
I'd say just a flat 100 gold
Either you are taking pouches in or you are finding that gold
Maybe it's a bit more expensive for hr but not too expensive
When is the next wipe? Does anyone know if they'll be ruining pickpocket rogue immediately or after the wipe?
you right i just think there needs to be a away to store more items however that could happen
friday the 15th
Bro... look in #📢announcements
I'm on my phone and just thought I'd ask someone, I do wanna know about the rogue ruining part tho, that change to hide sounds awwwful
I mean... we do have extra storage and 3000 isn't much for literally another whole storage. 10k isn't difficult to reach either realistically
I just wish the storage was seamless instead of another tab. Would make sorting things easier imo. Also a sorting temp storage so I don't have to use my inventory anymore
I just want a way to transfer between characters; its rough organizing kits when you have gear spread out between 7 different characters
be thankfull they did not remove hide completley, it always pusszled me why rouges could use low level invis magic for 0 cost
stashes per account (accessable pon any chracter) and per character stashes would be nice there already a hunred ways around it might as well make it part of the game
Because it's low level invis magic. It's cost is you can't move unless you have a perk, now the cost is the perk.
Why would I be thankful for that? That's just making it not a rogue, or like, an ambush assassin at all..
thats the whole point of rogue lol rogue is nothing withou the magic
Rouge needs a hard rework in general
:/ man it just sucks right, cause if I leave then it just becomes more of a fighter bubble then the game already is
fighters with iron will & 15% hp perks willl be crazy
idk, if I leave just like other rogues then it just becomes people playing rogue for damage and then ppl complaining rogues cause they can't handle being surprised. the class never chnages and it sucks
lol, just soudns boring tbqh.. no variety, eveyroen will hard focus getting the special skills and it'll totally suck, this change really isn't great but like, I mostly care baout my class truly and officially dying
I dont' mind playing the acrobat if they go for it but I doubt that'll go well, fighters wont' like it cause of the dodging and it'll sjut be equally nerfed, maybe even set our str to 0? maybe -1 Constantly take hp dmg the whoel game for playing not fighter?
I think they should fix the invis to be a single perk, not 3 like now. And make it not 100% invisible. Something like 90% transparent or the like. So you would actually need to hide in darker corners etc
THAT'S IT. NO MORE HOLD THE LINE. there are too many cheater. we need stronger anti-cheat. and BAN machine code.
When is wipe
Ye I also dont get the multiclass, whole point of playing ranger for example is the multishot for example, what will be the point if a figther with weapon mastery can use a survival bow + multishot will just destroy any ranger/caster if they got good aim no point in playing ranger just to have useless stats.
Like imagine slayer figther with +150 health, +30% PDR with survival bow and quick shots for those 5 arrows and then the sprint and 20 rare franchiscas in the inventory
the rng to get quickshot might take you many many levels before you get the choice but yeah sounds like a pre nice combo sure. theres way more broken ones though
Does anyone know the recommended amount of resourcefulness to build on bard? And what's the best way to get there?
2nd wind + Field rations 🤓
Go Vigor build Slayer, 2nd wind and field rations.
180 HP + 40% 2nd wind + 3x 25HP. Stack some p.healing for even more.
doesn't matter if it's rng to get that insnae combo, it honestly makes it worse since fewer people have access
that's Ill, ironmace pls no
330 HP fighter, gg
Tomorrow wipe?
make 1 skill+/perk, full invisibility, movement, and duration and I'll consider rogue on par with the other classes
despite it's;
lowest hp, lowest str, unhelpful kit, -30% buff duration, magic dmg debuff, increased taken dmg, Perk required, unnecessarily limited utility skills, inaccessibility to opening boxes without a pickaxe, and extreme item dependancy
combine the booboo keys, item hiding, and trap disarming all into 1 single perk called "Thieves Tools" or something
that'd help them not jsut be a useful thing nobody gets to use
Yo, what is the scaling of Magic Healing and Health Potions? Is it 100% scaling?
Ye thats another thing, people with no life playing this game 24/7 will have access to broken builds people with less time to play will not have.
there is an xp system based off of how recently you last played to counter this a bit
I’ll throw my hat in the ring and say that I am scared for the identity of classes moving forward. I would have rather they spent the resources on developing the Druid and actually polled the community on this class training system. Ick.
im more scared of the fact that you cant inspect lobbys anymore, its already difficult enought to guess how geared someone is. And i want to know if the fat barbarian is running achillis strike/ double jump or invis....
I appreciate developers taking risks, but there are some risks that you need to take only after you’ve asked your community.
This game was built on class and aesthetic identity. This new training system will all but destroy it, surely.
no. the community whining is what has brought the worst changes to the game
the entire issue of lobbys not being full because there were some 35 different possibkle ques running at any time was: because of changes made at the request of the whining community
They stated very early that they wanted to test multiclass , but now with this new training system this seems like a nightmare to balance. We dont even have a balanced number of skills and passives per class , and now everything can mix.... good luck balancing that in a fresh wipe. They also stated that they will work on the class idedity , so i guess we will let them cook, in the end this is a giant playtest (EA).
All we can do is hope they don’t burn the restaurant down, I guess.
in total it was 144 queues with only 4 k player
if they were to balance everything around not having multi and then introduce it they would need to rebalance. makes sence to introduce it asap and start the actual balancing, not waste time
yeah exactly. if we stuck to trios only we could have still had all 3 new maps and only have 6xregion ques running at one time. but oh no, "we need solos, we need duos" we demand it! 🤣
not to mention with that few ques you could implement a much stricter ranked or gear level based matchmaking system
Oh my god was there really only 4k concurrent players?
good thing they didnt
yeah this past 2 months of empty lobbies have been really great with the 144 ques running at once!
better than going 1v3 for sure
ur not very bright tbh
gottem
you need trios because you're just not good, you need cleric and bard to buff and hold w . the new ranking system killed lobbies legit nothing else.
how did the ranking system kill lobbies when pathfinder up are all in the same lobby? im curious how you plan to defend this claim
Never had dead lobbies before it was introduced? I feel thats a good enough reason
rather than a jump from 36 to 144 ques running at once?
you dont think that might have had something to do with it? maybe? 🙂
Don't be too logical dude, you gonna freak some people out
bro its a game with legal issues and 35 bucks for early access obviously its not going to be very popular atm
hes %100 trolling theres no way this is a serious argument from him
you just changed your argument completely? huh......
I think this alot too but am constantly surprised
what did i change? you wouldnt know an argument if it slapped you in the face brother
I wont play Developer with you. I don't care enough
Your first claim: the drop in lobby size was due to ranked being introduced
Your second claim: its because of the 35 dollar cost & legal issues
hmmmmmmm 🤣
im not the one who said that
maybe if u struggle with understanding people and making urself understood u shouldnt try to act smart
when you speak do you hear the sound of your voice in your head or?
whats wrong with you? quote me where i said ranked being introduced was the reason for anything
playing developer? thats some cool RP
deep breaths, deep breaths, its all going to be okay
i feel bad for devs having to deal with illiterate animals who cant even hold a discussion tbh
who hurt you? theres so much pain in all of your statements here
I don't know about you, but I prefer 15 players in a lobby. Multi-class changes, however...
i dont care about the lobby size as long as its actually filling up. the 144 possible ques was a very risky choice to try
and it hurt the playerbase a lot as soon as we stopped getting actual games. the only people who stuck around were the ones who needed to farm a free cape
which made the cape valueless to anyone who actually had to pvp for it
U guys r crazy lmao chill out
Never been much for "less value because every one else has it too" thinking, so I don't mind 🤷
as a major in psychotherapy i can %100 confirm that myself and anyone in existence who is accredited in my field is entirely sane
if people manipulate the matchmaking system to get empty lobbies to obtain rewards it kinda losses its status amongst the people who know they actually played the game as intended to earn it
it has nothing to do with how many people have it, its more, that there is a group of people who actually worked for it and theres a group of people who have 0kills on their acc who obtained it in the second half 🙂
when the lobbies were entirely dead, because we wanted 144 possible ques at once
i got to demi with 2 kills in total, dont hate the player, hate the system
this happens to be a discussion about the matchmaking que systems in place in the recent wipe season. thanks for joining us!
Excited for sprint/rage slayer fighter
fighter is honestly one of the classes that will benefit the least from this system
his perks and skills are already so good there's not much you can put on him that is actually an improvement
It's true. It's better to multiclass into fighter than out of it. No doubt their data will show that once they have some.
Pending perk "reworks" though
yeah literally everyone is gonna level a fighter for the chance of sprint
this man surley has not considered the possibility of phantomize smite slayerfighter
Not even just sprint. Fighter has a lot of good stuff that will be good on many builds.
why phantomize instead of sprint? sprint gives more move speed and you can attack during it
for sure, second wind barb will be insane if you stack pure hp
and slayer is good on a ton of classes
Slayer, dual wield, defense mastery, swift, adrenaline rush, sprint, second wind, sword mastery, combo attack, etc
Fighter really has no "dead" perks
All could be valuable. Some classes have stuff that no one would ever use
Thus Fighter becomes tier 1 donor class rather than tier 1 base.
Maybe both
Definitely both 🤣
Im going to run the worst perks and skills on the game exclusively, hidden pockets on a bard
yeah it'll be interesting, i feel like this multiclassing could really lock you into leveling for either frontline, spellcaster, or healer.
Combo attack on rogue with dagger would be pretty strong I think
because you have to level different donor classes for each and most people wont have the time to level for all of them
wizard + cleric spell memory seems boss
I get what you mean. I'm just saying it doesn't realllllly affect me, so my personal value of me achieving my goal without dead servers is not diminished is all I meant ^^
I'm not really a fan of "legacy content" either. imo it forces players who want a certain look or achievement to play when they'd rather do other things for a while. In other words, it plays on "fomo".
Dagger with smite + adrenaline rush
I hope they back off this idea of multiclassing. Seems very grindy and quite possibly very broken.
Good. I need broken so I can take gear from people
Hide penshot with windlass perks being savage berserk double jump and ambush is what i need for this game.
😂
can someone plz buy the silver coin that is listed for 10k on market
I have a plan that can save DarkandDaker from trouble. Firstly, we should lower the proportion of gold coins and properties to output, restore the tickets for VIP match, and allow green equipment to enter the ordinary copy. These moves can restore its former glory.
Never cook again
As much as I understand the frustration of not really gaveling a good place to use greens having people running around with +11 damage in norms would kind of eliminate the point of it
norms is in a really good place
The only issue I have with norms is really the naming conventions for them normal and high rolller when it’s really just can bring gear and can’t like there’s no ante like there used to be so calling it high roller seems off
imo the game would feel so much better if they simply removed additional damage from gear or at least true damage
when is wipe ?
The flat numbers do be making things busted for example a warlock can heal 60 hp with one life drain with enough magic damage
A wizard hitting 120 with a blue staff because the damage is added twice
and its almost like additional damage on hit is broken on fast hitting attacks like arcane missiles or stilettos but complete garbage on slow weapons like two handed axes
I agree
I don't want multi classing
Or arena
I wish we could customize our characters a little more, maybe just open up swapping assets between the models that already exist to allow for some crude changes to your character. I was playing on the test server and there was a bug where my characters hair would remain on the demon form while i was playing warlock. Funny glitch but it got me thinking i really want to customize my character into a bearded lady.
How do I give myself Fighter role?
those damn wizards doing damage on a glass cannon class ✊
Damn wizards 1 tapping rogues with wooden sticks
why no multi-classing? While it may turn out to be to crazy, isn't it worth testing out during at least one of the pre seasons?
yup rogues need more evasion abilities etc what does that have to do with wizards being glass cannons? its not like they arent sacrificing other perks to melee on the other class with low hp and defensive options? i think people just forget that staff is easy to block and dodge and wizards are weak to ranged weapons so... use any of your ranged options?
"Just use ranged options" sorry I'm not running crossbow rogue every single game bro
Game will never be balanced for solos, if you want it to be then you’ll be upset permanently. Outside of rogue being weak in trios the game is pretty well balanced
Did someone say that?
I do wish they'd show stats on game modes to see how many are playing solo, duo, and trio
I never saw an empty lobby ever in solos or even low player count
I queued into duos and trios as a solo and population was sparse
multiclassing will significantly balance solos
If they would just give solos map rotation, all would be well
Don't need to balance anything. Just rotate all maps through solo queue
Rotation is better than no variety at all
yes the devs did a couple times
also rename rogue to victim
24 h for wipe guys lets goo
Yeah it’s impossible to balance solos
It just looked like that guy was arguing with the invisible man
I wasn’t arguing lmao just saying something
Except they've been balancing around solos for months lol
Which specific buffs and nerds do you think revolve around solos? Please be specific I can’t argue with generalities
Doesn’t mean it will ever be balanced, it’s a class based game. Expecting every class to have an even matchup into every class is just ignoring the class aspect and comp build that’s a core part of the game
Rogue and lock specifically
I know im just saying they need to go back to their roots and balance around trios and not solos
So rogue and warlock being nerfed is a direct result of solos ?
100%
Rogue moreso than lock probably
I can easily believe rogue it’s over represented in solos by a lot but the way warlock functions at a bad
I wasn’t finished typing 
Gutting tm and buffing ape w key was a nerf and buff to solos
Rogue was getting nerfs because its playstyles are all unfun to interact with in all game modes, it just wasn’t as prevalent in trios because there are checks and balances that come with having 3 players
Gutting class identity for cringe gameplay
Yes that's my point
If you could make a way where getting killed out of stealth felt like an outplay it would 100% still be in the game
what is multiclassing
It is unfortunate that rogues inherently make the game less fun for everyone but them
Well waiting to see what the rework turns out to be (ik they added camo to hide)
Not entirely true when even top end rogues get 2 shotted lol
I hope they do something about mob AI sooner than later people not clearing mobs and just training room to room fills me with so much rage
I just think the mechanics are less fun to play against not that they’re busted
I just think they need to redo the mob aggro system shits trash
It's stupid how a player can pull an entire room and then mobs will just auto aggro onto you due to proximity
I would love to see a shut down game after being killed by X class statistic
As a rogue I agree being landmined sucks
Other rogues are our main counter 
Honestly I prefer geared rogues over naked ones the naked ones always train mobs
Rework should help with but still gotta use ears
I hope ears get added to warlock at some point
The amount of times I’ve been murdered because I didn’t hear a barb clomping up to me
Warlock spells are just way too loud lol
I want warlock to have a fun gameplay loop so bad and not have to reply on gear modifiers so much
Like just take magic healing off of gear and then you can scale spells to just work
Or just remove torture mastery double hp amount since tm is nerfed
Even that would help
Fair that would help a lot
You need 9 mh minimum for caster Lock to be playable 
And you can’t boss with sucklock it’s impossible
Yep
if still empty lobbies after wipe I will cry
I really want to main warlock this next wipe but it’s in a bad spot
I’m considering just boc phantomize lock until it gets buffed and I’m confident in that considering SDF is a warlock fan
Nah boc phantomize sucks any caster or ranged counters you
I just don’t like demon form it feels not great to punch with
Low to mid gear boc with spell mem ray of darkness, soul collector is way stronger
Don't need demon
Soul collector with boc, dark reflect and rod is busted
But kinda boring
I’m trying to think about preparing for multiclassing too so I know I need cleric to max just because there’s so many good things for the other casters there but I’m unsure if I should main wiz lock or cleric the only issue with cleric is I would have to hella level it
To essentially make it a wizard or lock
But the upside of cleric is that it has the best base stats atm for a caster
bro , warlock is the most op sht ever if full gear, you bulding it wrong , just watch whatever video in high rank and you will see that in 1v1 warlock dominates
No one said it isn't but you need to drop 5k minimum 
Fair but if we are being honest I’m a above average player not a great player I’m mostly running mid gear and occasionally high gear
Can’t wait to have a slayer fighter hybridized with cleric 🤣🤣
And I want to have fun most of the time when I’m playing
people are theyre just ignoring it because reasons
It’s probably because it’s impossible to know if they were cheating or not as a member of the discord and not a dev
doesnt change the fact that warlock is in a very very good spot , everyone is crying about barb , because he has to much good stats in the early stages , but endgame warlock fks you up , you loose 40% hp if you hit him once + he can do 160 Hp headshot BOC on a 30PDR target , GL with that.
yes it is, lol the amount of clips ive shown them to prove im not cheating is insane, ive streamed to multiple people in the public discord, i report the cheaters, theyve done nothing but ignore every single appeal i put in, if they would show the proof they have against the person theres a way to disprove their "evidence". guilty until proven innocent isnt a great game plan, its scary to be good at this game right now due to the risk of being banned for being mass reported.
A class isn’t in a very good spot if it feels unplayable in norms a good spot would mean being viable at all levels of gear against similarly geared opponents
How would streaming prove you’re not cheating? Like I’m genuinely sorry for you if you got a false ban but without all the information including why specifically you were banned or if it was for teaming or something and a dev was watching but I do think it’s odd you got a full ban I thought they did temp bans first
Even if full cheating I thought you got a temp ban first
I’m not even sure why someone cheating would complain alot about being banned because legit cheats cost like 15 a month
I do understand complaining about being banned for teaming
Or duping
Yeah hardware ban for sure it ruins the economy
i got a perma ban for reason "Cheater" then after i put in appeal after appeal (5 appeals so far) with clips of me playing the game since early access started, they simply automatically close the ticket, just like alot of people experiencing the same problem, im not saying everyone isnt cheating but im saying ignoring everyone just because you think its impossible isnt smart, if they would show me the evidence against me i would gladly show them a clip of what happened through my eyes, even "Skinny Pete" got banned for an unauthorized program and was un-banned because he has a following that was causing a massive fuss about it, but anyone who doesnt have a voice or an audience is at risk of being banned for being mass reported. there are a ton of different ways to prove someone is cheating and not cheating but ignoring everyone is not the way.
Skinnypete appealed and got unbanned. You appealed and didn’t. Clearly the issue is you.
Why do you think you got mass reported ?
See one to many rogues in invis ?
Ran some crazy one shot build for a few weeks?
It also looks like the only role you play is cleric, for someone to think you’re cheating on cleric is pretty valid
Stop cheating bro. It ruins the game for you. It might seem fun, but trust me, cheating in games just ruins them for you.
Clips of you not cheating don’t prove you don’t cheat
Rangers get hackusated all the time, this makes sense. A cleric getting mass reported clearly has some merit. Listen bro, you probably cheated and were using an “undetected” program. But you got caught, and now you need to accept that you’re banned for cheating.
my point to me streaming in the public discord is everyone who watched me was just as shook as i was when i got banned, they've watched me walk right by rogues to get stabbed in the back of the head to my death, walk right by landmine barbs to get 1 shot, or entire parties in Song of Shadow to get one shot, if skinny pete got an appeal just because he appealed, why hasnt anyone else, i havent seen a single person mention how they got appealed.
It’s like if I had a video of me shopping a lot a grocery store to prove I never shoplift
You weren’t given a temp ban before the Perma?
no
Phantomize torture mastery caster Lock requires way more gear than boc/dark reflect build that's the issue
Tm caster is garbage now while melee build is way too strong
Why do you think you got reported for?
whats the point of an exact count down timer for wipe if it doesnt work?
You get sucked into that cheating lifestyle and you will ruin gaming for yourself. Just cut yourself off now.
my ban is for "Cheater" so im assuming i got mass reported, not "Unauthorized Program" not "Pre-Teaming" just "Cheater"
So why the hell are we removing 5x5 gobbo caves and removing the ability to kill cyclops and troll for uniques? Like, what's the point of that exactly. I spend a week straight learning to do both, make a video for it, come up with a solid strat, for it to get removed 😄
Are you good enough for mass reports to make sense like a 10 KD or something
Mystic gem room has a chance for uniques
3/1 K/D 80% survival rate but i was rarely getting into fights unless it was worth it for me, so i genuinley dont know, had roughly 150 kills to my 50 deaths
AH yes, reward random chance and buying a gem over having to fight the entire lobby at two bosses for a chance at a unqiue. Peak dev takes.
Ironmace hates solo players with a passion. We make them sick. They are trying to be rid of solos without actually just deleting the game mode. They are trying to kill off the player base so they can say no one plays it and save face when they delete it.
Go to the D&D website and file a support ticket, that's the only thing you can do
Mystic gem room exist in the 5x5 map that's getting removed lol
That's cap seeing how their data showed solos was the most popular lol
The devs have proven time again and again. They have no clue how to do their job
i have 5 times, all of them get automatically closed within 48 hours, havent gotten a reply to a single one
They said they intend to have it in the 3x3 in the QnA
Solos is only popular because trios has 1 or two viable team comps
Comps has nothing to do with it
100% does
Or more people don't like looking for teammates 🤷♂️
Just easier loot where every class is viable and it's easy to extract
100% doesn't. There is too much friction to get team mates. Nobody wants to sit LFG over and over. People have different schedules and play time. Nothing about this game facilitates easy team building.
It's the free loot mode with Easy pvp. In a game where you lose your gear, ppl will farm the easy map
Who cares about loot the fights are generally more fun imo
Because you're not stuck against playing the meta only.
Is every class not viable in trios? Sure you need to augment how you play but every class can fit
Trios if you're not running a geared meta comp. You're just gonna run away or die
Solos you can play anything and have success. That's why the game mode is popular
This is one of those guys that thinks they're always right. Ask solo players why they play solo. I bet you almost never hear "Because of comp issues and meta in trios." LOL Where do you even come up with this?
It was always going to become the most popular for the above stated reasons
It's the most popular because YOU CAN SIT DOWN AND CLICK START MATCH
It’s his own head cannon he’s writing a dnd fanfic let home cook
You can literally do that in all game modes lol
Ok, he's trolling
So you can't do duo / trio without a team?
Teammates slow down the gameplay loop by alot and if you don’t think it does you’re trolling
100% trolling
Do you think ppl die faster in solos?
1 yes 2 we are talking about lobby time
You really typed this out as part of your argument 🤣
your*
Sure, a lobby of 7 fills faster than a lobby of 15. Ground breaking
No again missing the point waiting for your team to gear up or pee or whatever they’re doing slows down the gameplay loop
Duh...like how is this relevant. It doesn't change anything I've said or is it relevant.
Yes waiting for teammates to get ready is slower than just 1 person. Shocking that either of you thought that was a worth while point
Yeah it’s a reason to play solo
People play solos because they don't have people to play with. That's it man. It's not some meta issue. Open your eyes.
Like my grind to Demi would of taken so much longer if I had to wait on my 2 homies all the time
Sure. Is it the main reason, probably not. But it is a reason
It's such a non factor that no one would ever cite it as a reason.
It’s a lot of reasons there is no main reason it’s a game
Exactly, that's the point I've been making to you. Like being solo is so easy, that's why ppl do it. Why go against a meta team when you can quickly que into a free loot map
No. No. It's easy to actually get in the game. That's it. There is no time searching for players, waiting for people, etc. It has zero to do with free loot or meta. Zero.
This is the view of a Timmy, But once you've played the game longer and seen all the real trading. You'll realize
Mages mad annoying
Gc was just for newbies to get gear and it spiraled to killing the games ability to balance
Crazy hate for goblin caves when the game is probably more balanced than ever
Ok. Keep spreading the word. I believe you are correct in your assessment of why more people play solos.
Like balance will never actually happen why would 10 year old games get balance patches of it was possible
Doesn't really matter, game is on its last legs and will fall over soon
Lmfao
League of Legends moment, cs moment
This happened to a couple of buddies of mine on stream when they kept encountering the same 3 teams back to back for like 4 matches, when they wiped the lobby they got mass reported for "cheating", I did a test on a few accounts, solod into trios died and mass reported everyone for cheating for like an hour and I got like 2 people banned quick
A lot of balance revolves around how people are playing, if smite did 80 damage but nobody used it it wouldn’t be nerfed
Every single time I go into a game I mass report just to get people banned now because everyone is a cheater
If they are going to false ban people might as well help them along
Tbh I do be spite reporting inappropriate names a lot
Gameplay loops of solo vs trio:
Solo:
- Load game
- Check gear
- Click play
Trio:
- Load game
- Check gear
- Check friends list
- Measage friends
- Friends unavailable
- Open discord
- Look for party
- Join party
- Wait for party to fuck off doing God knows what
- Ready up
- Click play
I report everyone on multible accounts, multible characters
if enough people complain about it maybe they will fix it
I should honestly just automate it at this point
That's why people play solos.
This is true, sometimes. I would wager most DaD players that are decent have a discord the go to with somewhat vetted players. Guilds etc.
There’s no way they don’t put your reports in the trash when you were never even in a game with the one reported
Same, I want to play the game, not the waiting game.
Say what you want I've gotten multible accounts banned and confirmed in a few hours by doing this
Anyone in here play pretty much play solos? Why do you play solo?
All be it I'm sure there are loads of players that are playing because they have no friends. Still doesn't change the fact that it's a free map that is far easier to compete vs trio which is a near guaranteed death unless you have a good comp + gear
None of that is why people are playing solo. You've made up some narrative to fit what you think is wrong with the game. It isn't reality.
You have to dm one of the junoir devs and maybe graysun
i cant help but notice that youve been doomposting about this game for a few months, over 400 messages of despair and gloom. if this is what you do for funsies i hope things turn around for you king bc this is just so sad to tab into here on my lunch break and see u still typing day after day
I just don't think you have a clue, you're saying that ppl only play solos because its faster. Well the 5 farmers all avoiding pvp or mobbing up and playing defense kinda say otherwise
There are multiple reports of people getting banned for just using overwolf overlay, steam overlay, controllers their anticheat is clearly not tuned very well
Then move on ?
try to be a bit more positive 😄
he just might be too far gone
I was, that time past. Habitual Ls by devs and I no longer just smile and eat whatever bs is being cooked
May he rest (hopefully)
so do you even play anymore or do you just come on here to be negative?
i truly believe he lives for this like this is peak excitement for the lad
You know the game is good when even people that think it's horrible won't stop
never read a more true statement
anyone know if wipe happens tonight during the AM's or tomorrow.
I knew an irl guy like that and man was he unhappy all the time but the little joy he got was from trolling old people in Facebook groups and honestly it was sad to watch. My roommate met this guy in a phyche ward for reference
if this games dies (actually dies) u better believe good ol Redacted will be right here replying to old posts, maybe even his own 😞
This game is like a psyche ward with the people it attracts
There is no way that solo players play solo because they don't have people to play with. That's not possible!
Come on man 🤣
Say u got rocked in high roller and lost all your gear without saying you got rocked in high roller and lost all your gear
Because you operate of an assumption and that's really all you can do
10 years from now he’s still getting run down for his less than meta comp in trios (or at least that’s what he tells his caretakers)
off an assumption* also earlier the word was ‘Albeit’ not ‘all be it’ 🥺
Those damn meta comps ruined everything
They didn't help forsure
okay so Hydra really needs to be changed. Either on a cooldown. Or no collision so you can walk through it. The CC is so crazy broken, people say "jump over it pepega" In some area's you cant jump over it.
Enemy popped hydra on me, and I got pushed into the doorway and the wall and was perma stuck. This really should be changed.
Kill it
@dry nebulaBy that time you're already dead, especially in 3v3. It's a crazy broken mechanic and it should be changed.
Interesting how I’ve never had problems with it
So will update be tonight at midnight or sometime tomorrow eastern time
They might just push it off again knowing them 😂
Lmao I’m just passing time on this until dungeonborne comes out
Loved this game when it came out but it got stale for me. Hoping the wipe will be fun
Same 😞
If you can’t dodge a hydra fireball moving at the pace of a snail then that’s a you issue man
Fr I’ve 1v1 2v2 and 3v3 Warlocks at least 1000 times and never had that problem some people just have 1 bad experience and think it’s a problem. It’s usually skill issue too..
The funny thing is hydra is only used to stop people pushing. It’s not an offensive spell because the tracking is terrible
Just w keys a hydra… Help I’m stuck 😂
Getting stuck happens without hydra lol
@barren ingotYes... hydra 'moves' ...
Yes it has wings and flys around the map
what's the best duo to run right now? i can't keep up.. thanks in advance
Fighter/cleric or Fighter/Bard seems to be pretty meta rn
Ive also seen Ranger/Warlock comps every now and then
Playtime availability mostly. Coupled with my hearing loss and arthritis in my fingers pretty much doesn't make me a desirable team mate. Too old to be agile enough to compete with the youngsters. So I pretty much play solo 90% of the time.
If you make a mistake and back into a dead end, hydra is pretty op. You should be punished for mistakes, sure, but I've certainly been in situations where its blocking effect was clearly op. Nothing to do with the fireballs.
Play whatever is most fun for you and your teammate, and make it work. Fun is the new meta.
i only team duos with my rl friend because i like the couch co op feel of it. if i want to play with strangers ill play mmo pvp and que up fast. its just way more fun to play on me and my friends schedule than someone else i dont know and even if we meshed they could be in a diff time zone and it just is not as relaxing and fun for me
Ya, Dark and Darker pugs are the worst. lol
connection to the server was terminated
Playing with randos in full loot is asking for a bad time
wait they removed prelobbies completely instead of just taking out inspect?
Its more of to combat pre teaming and teaming as opposed to inspecting
Talking in pre game used to be so funny 😂 lmao
Personally i think inspecting is good and should stay, if anything it should be easier to see the gear of ppl in your lobby. I dont want to have to play like there is a bis geared team every game when there is nakeds.
The game is already lacking giving info on certain parts of it, i feel like removing inspection makes that worse
I miss this lmao
So when are we thinking they announce another wipe delay
friday
They aren’t gonna lol, idk why ppl keep saying this
Probably because they do it all the time so them delaying a 2nd time isn’t unheard of
Do they though? Pretty much no other wipe has been delayed until this one, and once they gave an official wipe date it only got delayed by a day
Well not wipe, but they do delay patches all the time and multiple times in a row so them delaying a wipe multiple times in a row after one delay isn’t unbelievable
Does anyone have the bullet point summary of the livestream? Trying to show my roommate
I have one, I can dm you it if you want
Yes plz
No longer having a lobby means you have to play like that which is good. Because if you’re in the bis gear and you see no one else has the bis gear you can just hold w on everyone the entire game
I mean ppl are just gonna do that anyway, most ppl who run it down run it down anyway. and this applies to less gear too, if there is a super geared team I can't go around playing normally looting and tryna fight ppl, you have to set up and get ready.
It just doesn't make sense to have no info on anyone in the game, makes it super stressful to play like everyones geared until you figure it out
But STREAMERS
From my experience with the game I’ve not seen 1 gold team not always hold w at everyone when they are the only bis team in the lobby. They’d almost never just brainless sprint at people when they see there’s another good team. So it def would help that mindless play style
most gold teams especially on ruins i saw just mindlessly sprinted around the map at other teams and other gold teams.
having more info is almost always good in the game, and playing smart with that information is how you win
hello I just got insanely scamed by some guy in trade any one know how to report people?
Going into the dungeon should be an unknown
Game wipes in like 12 hours bro
Could you DM this to me too
I know but I still want that guy to have a red name or something at least so he doesnt just get away with it
how did he scam you lol -- an actual question, wasnt sarcastic
I was trading him 2 empty + gold gear for a nip then he was telling me it wasnt enough
so I kept giving him gear like 3 trades of straight crazy uniques gone
Does anyone have a full list of the confirmed changes for next patch?
Does anyone know when it will wipe
who came up with the idea to make high roll green to golden? should have been grey to blue and then epic to golden...
why is the ruins of forgotten castle the only map that's playable rn?
i think thats because ruins of the forgotten castle is the only map they let you play right now
let me know if i can hook u up with any more info bro
yeah i was just wondering why
havent played for a while and i wanted to hop on goblin cave 
After wipe it'll go back to how it was. Solos on og gobby caves.
how long tell the whipe ffs
o7 till next season, and nerf bard!
PLEASE make money bags available on market for cheaper or make small bags hold 100 gold. Having gold take up nearly 1 inventory is ridiculous
just dont obtain that much gold and its chill
-__-
people have red names cuz they look cool dawg red name means nothing
What if u need to buy another stash slot
And the gold bags take up a lot what are u supposed to do
nerf druid
I LOVE how the devs stroke themselves about the lag and it some of the worst me and my group have seen in a while today XD
first named item poggers
🔥 🔥
🔥 🔥
i got the first moldy bread after 3 month finding it
#dnd-content message this guy talks so much sht and is so bad 😭
Unpopular opinion: Ironmace should focus on their monitization model being less battlepass, and more "skin" based. Give each person purchasable variants of their starter weapons. Same stats - just different looks. Example: Wizard gets an oak staff vs an ebony one, etc.
Stop with battlepass nonsense and focus on balancing the game this way. Easy cash
there is talk of battlepass?
Always has been on the table.
If they go down that route, they need to make the game free to play and give people lifetime battlepasses that supported
I feel like having both skins like you said but a battlepass along side it could be ok
they aren't focusing on a battlepass? the devs have said they don't want to do a battle pass.
Ranked rewards and battle pass aren't the same thing. And im sure they are thinking of doing weapon skins and things like that, but thats farther down the line since its way less important than other stuff. also they don't want to ruin the feel of the game or the clarity of what each weapon is etc
No battle passes please, thanks.
You won't even know clearly what class you playing against with the RNG perks coming up
Man, given what a flop Tribes 3 was(so glad I saw it was just less of tribes ascend) I love how it was a true asset flip and on its best day never had even 2k players(Tribes Ascend reached 7.5k in 2012), meanwhile we have people all over calling this game a soulless money grab with no effort and dumb devs which has put in dozens of less in terms of manpower and money yet actually has a fucking product that those player numbers at its lowest in a game that doesn't have an entire fan base following it who are now PISSED that they tried to sell Ascend for less. Sometimes it does actually make me wonder how many Nexon bot shills make up this server. Logic is truly hilarious in favor of games like Dark and Darker compared to the modern norm. We get more and more such as multiclassing and meanwhile the freaking released Tribes 3 had less then the actual DEMO did. Even if this game never goes past like 6k players on average we have a stable game that can survive with plenty of players for content, I mean fuck good games like Unreal Tournament 2004 survive even after all support has been cut and you can basically only play those on weekends by joining discord groups or going to LAN parties. Thank you Iron Mace for not being sell outs and making a shit game with no soul.
no update today ?
Multiclassing will be bad for the game and they've done it the most new player unfriendly way. There is no point comparing IM to these other companies because IM has proven they will put in player unfriendly design. In addition the changed teh scope of their game soley to get more money, which is right in line with every other studio
are they still sticking with multiclass being locked behind level 100?
haven't played in a few months, heard of multiclass and was excited to try shit, not sure me or my friends have the patience to grind multiple classes to 100 to get random perks?
they also said that they know its kind of crazy and will break the game, and thats the whole point of it
game would be better without barb 🙂
and throwing axes 🙂
100% 🙂
you're glazing of the fact that he hide it behind a wall of chores
Yep, I cant wait for it, gonna make balance go out the roof to have some fun with some crazy shit once we get it unlocked, granted I already know some real bullshit is gonna come out but at least it will be hilarious how much different bullshit is going on, so long as my bullshit is varied and I can dish it out as well as receive it I will be content, plus I have wanted to Spellsword for so long, finally I might be able to be a Fighter who can do a little magic. Can already see the Korean level grinds will be complained about, then most likely lowered, so thats just a matter of time and waiting for this discord to do what it does best, Complain loudly, in this case it will actually be right though.
half an hour until the 15th uct :)
levels up fighter 3 times doesn't get sprint from the rng perks
15 min or more ?
14:21!
game is unplayable the servers are so bad lmao
idk why anyone plays this - when is wipe even?
servers are fine, have been fine for a week or two imo
1 month**
is wipe coming tmr morning or late tonite bc it is 9am in korea on the 15th
Please make level cap 100
Its UTC
no wipe announcements ???
UTC time 12:10 midnigth?
14 minutes for the 15th in UTC it's over, pack up your bags
Prob gonna be 12 am est
they said any time on the 15th utc, still have 24 hours till we out of that range
I know lol I was kidding
14 minutes is nothing
STILL haven't wiped???? are they TRYING to kill this game?
They are actually killing a game i was super hype for with stupid decisions
So wipe should be tomorrow right?
Well think about it. If they wipe prime time our time then they will be asleep if things go wrong. Maybe it's just me but I would rather them be awake and well rested for wipe. Just incase something goes wrong. It's pretty much 100% some sad person will ddos.
last wipe delay 2 day if you guy dont remember
Bro they litteraly said its gonna wipe on the 15th
can we delay wipe so @gleaming rose can hit demidog?
you dont get rewards for normals lol
Sigis is Teamkiller he stole purple rapier from me in goblon cave
u look like a goblin
@Graysun @Sigis insulted me
last wipe they delay it 2 day with 4 announcement in 2 day delay , dont trust anything 100%
Their needs to be some sort of gear relevancy in this game. I cannot wait for wipe and people to NOT be able to get gold gear in 2 days.
Just love runnning into a low rate lobby and still finding people who way out gear me lol.
If that bothers you just play normals. Honestly the pvp feels best there anyway.
I do. PvP in normals truly shows how good you are vs another player. Not just reliant on the golden gear you have lol.
But I want to play with gear sometimes though. Just disheartening this game can put you with any gear level
True. real skill is picking fighter so everyone is the same incredible base kit
then defeating anyone who isnt a fighter
Every class base kit is pretty fine to fight against others honestly except for rogue really.
Everyone else does just fine.
real
wizard warlock definitely not horrid base kits
slayer fighters +7 weapon damage and free action speed scaling better at lower levels is definitely not an advantage
How are they going to get more money out of it?
The matchmaking will work better with more active players. I think thats the issue for ppl who were playing on the tail end of season 1. That last month was prob brutal due to lack of players.
are the other maps disabled?
Yep, and after wipe, it'll be back to solo goblins duos ice caves and trios get to boss and enjoy the game w good gear
Anyone else think rogues is going to back to landmine status and make the game unfun? That's all the new stealth rework is going to do. I hope they don't buff it's damage because now you can see them "if" they move.
Nah we got wipe hype and huge balance changes. PPl will come for that. Question is how long they stay.
game dead for 2 week delay test new normal rank and now wait for the wipe delay
well it's cool if you ask me. AFter the q/a as in talking to the whole community they decided to make changes based off what players said.
IM releases patches almost every other week during regular development. AAA titles don’t even do this. Deep breaths my man
yeah i just wish they used the testing server to actually test things more
I agree testing server should have came out a long time ago but they actually just finished it so it's new new.
i just got kicked from match?
Hopefully all of your faith and hope will not be dead by its release either. Jesus listen to yourself it’s like there’s no food left and you’ve just decided to sit down in the dirt and cry rather than go hunt
yeah but i wish they would use it for multiclassing, so far they only used it for death replays
wipe?
still not till tomorrow lol
"GOOD GOD MAN? DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF? WE HAVE A LINE TO HOLD
"
Yeah I'm sure they will be using it for multiclassing later on. My guess they just started on multiclassing last year without the test server even close to being finished. Same goes for all the balance changes we about to get. I was dreading multiclassing but now I'm ready for them to turn it on because I want to break the game like many others with theory craft builds.
Wait how exactly does multiclassing get IM more money? What’s your claim exactly? o.O
You gotta keep watering the dirt with your tears daily…. Maybe some food will sprout for you
:Salute:


:Salute:
Still don’t know what time?

Do levels reset in wipe as well ?
is high roller free after wipe
yes
crap ty man
Wait with multi class now becoming a thing does that mean that there is a potential for drum barbarian to come back?
Does anyone know what we get on wipe day other than square merchant, new quests, and it taking time to open our backpacks?
we dont know how class specific equipment such as instruments or traps will work yet. only time shall tell
game wipe delay to 17/3
Bet just know there’s a possibility that ima be a issue again
wipe delayed to 2025
Just got off the phone with Terry, wipe confirmed delayed 2025
anyone have notes from the q and a
ryan6
daysaweek on YouTube has videos covering both
Is there an explanation as to why his name is banned from being typed out?
DaD Discord - CNN Edition
Some of the banned words are absolutely bizarre
To prevent advertisement i assume, anyway back to the scheduled discussion;
Steelhammer you sons of skeletons i skipped my firstborns birth and my exwifes third wedding for this wipe, now my boyfriend is calling me pathetic and threatining to keep the cage on until full release caus u still wont wipe!!!!
ok so as a wizard i now double jump and then cast fireball… i fly like the fire lord of the fire nation
Yeah I run into it all the time I hate it especially when chats on a long timer
If they allow perks. Not sure thats on the table yet. I know skills/spells are.
Great for casting over heads tbh
oh i thought it was the other way around… now i get heal spells as well as protection for wizard?
Unless they take out double jump it’s for sure on the table
bro lesser heal / protection spell + meditate sounds so good
Yeah I hope clarity song from bard works while standing so I don't have to sit down. I also would like to use a longbow and ignite. lol
I bet they will lock certain perks and abilities from being stole
Intense focus earthquake sounds nuts
i have unlimited healing and protection pots. i dont see how a song is a spell so wizards shouldnt get those
You can learn instruments just like how a ranger could learn spell memory and spell book.
Imagine duo intense focus wizards one with earthquake the other with locust
There’s currently not a perk that allows the use of instruments and weapon mastery is the only one that lets you use a spell book atm but I’m sure they’ll make it so taking spell mem/ song memory unlocks them
not needed as perk. They said a long the way to 100 you char will learn things like longbow mastery or spell memory. They can also be taught spell memory from a master which then unlocks learning spell book from spell master.
i think we might just become freinds
Sounds like a plan I fully intend to caster multiclass it seems like the most functional less meme like builds that are less likely to get taken out
Magical ranger is going to be my first build.
Arcane archer I like that ignite arrows with quick shot?
yeah build will have gear with plus magic damage. Ignite,haste,heals,slow, invis.
I really also want to make a real rat rogue build when Druid comes out an actual rat with pickpocket
That would be gross.
if ur eu we can play on wipe XD
True but sounds fun
As long as I get my computer fixed my ssd died like 2 hours ago
hybrid perry with druid. Ppl will already not be opening their inv as often due to the backpack change.
This sounds like it would take a ton of good RNG but best of luck
no HDD?
Funny enough my HDD from my other computer broke like 8 months ago
and how tf did ssd die (Burn out?)
CD players have HDD 1 tb / break it open XD
Not sure I hope loading windows from a usb will fix it
or amazon prime it will arrivwe today
yeah enter bios and just troubleshoot the ssd check if it shows in the bios as a registered sata port
One of mine did when i was upgrading my pc, plugged it in. It started and i heard a small pop.
👀
funny story i sold a samsung odyssey g9 today and the kid told me his pc was playing up i offered to go with him and fix it / UPDATE : It as a fucking fossil dude this pc was like generations behind he was running like a GT970 and then bios couldnt boot windows and was getting PXE errors i was like i cant fix that bro his parents said what should i do i said call me hen your ready to buy him a new pc 🤣
I wish I had that option at work I have to actively keep Unix computers running
XD
my work has the most expensive computers i have ever seen and they are just used to print labels for packages
🤣
like fully loaded with 4k wide screen curved monitors
lights bells whistles the whole deal, they asked if they would suffice and i just stood there dumbfounded
My 1994 Unix computers are used to run millions of production in a factory
hey, if it works it works
I’m terrified that I might of fucked my motherboard because now I can’t even get to bios with the drive out after I hooked up my bad HDD and tried to start it
dats not good. try reseating ram
stealth/hide is the dumbest thing ive ever seen in a pvpve game... imagine in tarkov if u could just camp with invis for 40 seconds...
rework better be full overhaul
Imagine tarkov with chain lightning
its not...landmine rogue is about to return. Buckle up cupcake. They should have compeletly removed all true stealth to give players without counters a chance to see them.
God I was scared I was in my motherboard hdmi rather than my graphics card hdmi
If they make rogue actually not suck for any other situation, then maybe they could nerf the ability.
i have literally never had a rogue completely jumpscare me from invis, i got volume and headphones on max, and know the chance that it can happen
with hours of course, it happend plenty when i started playing XD
Well that the thing they plan on buffing rogues after the stealth change which is just going to bring landmine rogue back. All they have to do is go stealth when someones coming through a door and not move.
bro i just want to pickpocket 😩
I do that with fighter now with pots
Pickpocket rat Druid supremacy
on god i would till my heart explodes
Yea it's huge getting first strike in the game because you set the tempo and should win unless major gear dif.
And alot of the time you’re fighting classes that need to buff first to be effective so it helps a ton
Multiclass rogue will be so damn strong if they get sprint. THey will lose damage yes but they will be almost impossible to catch. Slowly wear you down.
My intense focus wizard with earthquake would beg to differ
I mean its not that hard to max out speed on rogue so sprint would be mostly wasted
with sprint just double jump over it. Stab you in face for trying.
earthquake would suck on wizard, you have to stand still the whole time. 2 arrows and your dead
Instead they can go more str or dex and hit harder/faster
True sprint is gonna be mad annoying as a whole
Even rangers with sprint will be mad annoying. Every 20secs they will get to reset gain range on you.
That and second wind barbs
yeah but at the cost of another skill
Rat rogues taking trap mastery makes a lot of sense
second wind barbs and maybe second wind warlocks.
useless perk no one use in the game , and rogue got neff so many time because so many noob blame about rogue
Perseverance warlocks gotta not ever be a thing
Homie if that’s the only thing that lets you use traps you might take it
Clerics are likely to become battle mages. Screw holy light when you could just chain lighting or fireball.
clerics are gonna need a dumb amount of mem cap to run 1 spell wheel of heals and one of wizard spells though
bro update when! 
robust, iron will (whichever one the magic resist one is), PDR fighter
for real i might just leave if that happens
Maybe idk they might jsut run 1 spell book. take 2 heals and 3 wiz spells.
i doubt theyll let you mix spells on one spell wheel
That's exactly what they're going to do spells are just spells. If their were sub types to spell memory then you would prob be right.
I mean he has a point
eh depends how the impliment, i could see the skill you take being a wizard spell memory, and you have to equip that one to use wizard spells
Yeah if thats not in the first interation that could be how they nerf it for sure.
Bard might be different cause that's song memory
Yeah they talked about that it's the only wone they said is dif at least cuz it uses different weps to cast spells. Everyone else still uses spellbook or staff
nobody really knows other than soon

Oh that’s true but you know the final time has been a boring game !
I miss goblin…
I also miss goblin
When is wipe
Maybe never
Im sorry if I missed it but are we to expect the other maps back in after wipe?
I also heard some will be locked to queue type, idk if thats true?
True goblin 3*3 and only for singles
rip 5x5, was the best. loved the double bosses
When will the server shut down?
Was it 5pm est?
Wouldn't 5pm est be the 16th in Korea? The timezones confuse me.
Time in Korea - Friday, March 15
City
Time
Seoul, South Korea
2:56 PM KST (Friday)
looked it up yeah the 16th
Korea is ahead by 14hrs compared to where i am
13 hours ahead for me
Ya i had my fingeres crossed they would have something figured out before i racked out for the night considering its after lunch their time, but history shows that they tend to work late into the night
its all the same time i got to wait like 27 hours same as korea so everyone gets it at the same time
if youre not in korea why did you ask lol
If anyones getting off and has leftover gear Im in weapons n armor as ellochap. Fighter/cleric. Playing till wipe
What times the wipe?
Saturday probably
The people left playing this game are just the worst type of gamers. Imagine sitting in all gold armor in a room waiting for footsteps just to rat people. All the gold teams ive encountered arent even running rogue who is apparently according to some of this gamer base " the most OP in upper tier"
Wipe hasnt even happened
i know i said that cause dude couldnt be bothered to look like 8 messages prior
Oh true
just said it was at 5pm on the 15th est
Like the upper echelon of this games skill tier is just people sitting in corners as a three stack lmao 🤣
i love how there's literally cheaters playing when there's nothin to gain... imagine being that much of a scumbag lmao
gather footage & you wont have to deal with them next wipe?
Need to start perma banning cheaters
i record everything. sadly with this POS I couldnt spectate him b4 he left. so it just looks like GREAT SHOTS from my perspective
Teaming up temp bans but like invincibility and stuff perma
No bullshit, i spectated a new player, warlock earlier. i put an overlay crosshair on, you could literally see how he magneticly stuck to enemies. and since he was new, would accidentally snap to torches on the wall when trying to fight mobs
self snitched crosshair overlay. L
Why would a cross hair overlay matter
The game has a cross hair already it doesn't give any real advantage
he just revealed his IQ
You can get a physical overlay and put a laser on your screen
i put the overlay on bc i wanted more evidence to track his tracking. and yes overlay should be the last of your worries when these fuckheads are ESP everywhere and aimsnapping
I'd only ever complain about a crosshair overlay In a game that doesn't have any
the moment i get banned for overlay crosshair when spectating is when I go full punisher and you see me on the news handling real cheaters bro
ill be your hero, just send me IP's
Cringe
yeah legit is cringe these days
its way cooler to cheat and look good
sorry im old school, i think its scummy
@wicked nest what class you main?

Anyone else experiencing lobbies with a bunch of gold teams basically just ratting and pouncing you?
And booting offline is scummier than cheating at a game, you’re at such a low point in your mentality that you think it’s okay to actively disrupt an entire home’s internet connection because you died in a video game.
I dont necessarily mind gold gear but they arent even like trying to fight
Just to be clear, there is no “aimsnapping” cheats in this game. There’s esp, range hacks, and swing speed hacks, that’s it.
Cheats evolve. If they have a zero day exploit, and they can effect in game logic to that degree, aim hacks arent off the table. Think about this "swing speed hacks" is literally affecting in game logic. Aimbot wouldnt necessarily even need to manipulate in game logic, but rather movement detection and then just making sure your mouse goes to it. Thats without affecting game logic. If they can affect game logic, then yeah nothing is off the table. The best games incorporate good game logic to deter cheaters
lotta people running bis for the first time, bit of gear fear even tho its end of wipe
saw a lot of people with named running away from my team when we were significantly less geared
wow you really are a smart one huh?
I dont need to explain why it does exist to you...
Hey captain genius, you are aware that there’s a file going around on Reddit with every cheat in the game right? Specifically those I mentioned. No one else has ever ran into an aimbotting cheater in this game lmao
Much less an aimbotter that snaps onto torches
Like for instance, lets say they establish a swing speed threshold. And then, make it to where swing speed can get nowhere near that with the best rolls. Then make the game flag any behavior that passes the artificial threshold set by gear. Bam simple
But hey you know best right?
man... you keep reading bud it may pay off one decade
i dont know why you were so triggered by something that i have literal video evidence of, pretty wild
game sure delay 1-2 day more not today so stop talk about korea time shit
I don’t think anything I said implied I was triggered
you jumped like a tiger bro attacking me
I said you’re a scum for booting people offline
I could care less about the cheaters
i dont do that... i was making a joke that i would go visit them
ah.... hear it is
Mr genius I thought you’d know that you can’t get addresses from IP’s since you’re so intelligent
jesus christ man....
Lets move on from this topic. It seems to be creating an issue.
Tried playing duos with my boy and the game put us in trios...?
you are taking it too literall. thats all
Drop it.
teddy up late, enlighten us please
I was trying all the classes but so far I like the figher warlock and ranger
I think it’s in the environment
funny i did the reverse, I went Ranger, warlock, fighter
never been a rogue guy, maybe as much solo as i play i should but, i like to shoot lol
Queued for duos and got put into trios is this intentional or a bug?
any1 wanna hear a end of wipe joke?
Idk why when I played with my friend we kept dying just to the environment never extracted with him but could do it solo
Has anybody dealt with a verification error when updating?
WIppeeeee it
No sir
Can I sleep?
yes you can
Tbh it won't wipe til late afternoon. This is the way...
why is a rogue speed with no clothes 290 but a war with basic clothing 290?
cause balance ?
nudist stand up
Wipe #3 is scheduled for release on March 15th UTC. Unfortunately, we cannot give you the exact time due to fixes made during final QA, but we will do our best to deliver as quickly as possible. Thank you for waiting so long.
this was posted on the 13th in utc which is apparently 8 am now so it can be sometime within the next 12 hours hopefully
@runic stag because double jump is -18ms
When’s wipe? It’s already Friday
They will delay the wipe till like 10 PM EU time or delay it even till tomorrow why you think they purposely didnt give a time
I swear yall are illiterate
Double jump feels almost useless tbh unless you're doing crossbow
Also completed my first two high rollers and extracted with the goods ik ima lose it but practice
All of them are lies like the previous wipe was delayed for 2 days, this batch was delayed for another 2 weeks with the reason of running normal rank server and finally preparing for another delay.
Steelhammer you sons of skeletons i skipped my firstborns birth and my exwifes third wedding for this wipe, now my boyfriend is calling me pathetic and threatining to keep the cage on until full release caus u still wont wipe!!!!
Regardless that's the most recent statement in the discord and people keep asking the question when the answer is literally on the screen
When
Lol you're doing the same thing scroll up like 8 messages
-They usually always update in the mornings. They will delay this update they don't care about players.
Bunch of whiney ass nerds in this chat holy fk. This studio is one of the most dedicated I've ever seen to delivering on their promises. It takes time along with trial & error, but they actually listen to the community, despite most of you being a bunch of sour cucks. If you hate it here so bad, why the fuck are you still here complaining. Touch grass, losers.
Are servers down rn?
has it wiped yet?
No and knowing blacksmith studio's around 12 hours from now they will announce that it will be delayed because of something again.
And when wipe does happen. It will take 5 hours to download the update
Bert showing he can't read by saying what he just said without acknowledging ink
Nobody's fault your internet is bad
this is the game discussion chat. stop crying and learn how to read, this was made for ppl to complain
People aren't just complaining though they are downright hating on the game and the devs
thats their right
No i remember last wipe it took an average like 2-3 hours for people to download, since the servers or whatever was so backed up was not a internet issue
its what people should do if they wait a year on a game to never finish. this is going to be like h1z1
doom posting fr fr
english pls
Your pfp is pepe frog. Literally speaking your native tounge
What classes y’all running on wipe and why?
