barb changes this time around were crazy
literally gave them an MS steroid perk and the easiest slow to use ever that also drops enemy damage
while buffing 2 handers
If solo then take songs that only buff you not others. Basically no matter what you want your buffs up constantly
Honestly I think we should globally re-add +All Atts to everything again to try and fix the problem, and +True/Added damage and let them roll on the same item again too
let sdf collect data about that too
The gilded skeleton is gone ?
While we're at it, lets just have another patch where Warlocks get to have infinite healing and kiting potential, and bring back +50% damage Ambush and +100% damage Weakpoint
bring back +3 all on all items
yup that would be the best solution
more data to check, maybe just add it all together and see after a few weeks whats up?
then even rogues can get the base stats needed to compete with barbs!!! problem solved
???
@glad thunder Can you tell us when you're starting your career as a comedian with how much of a joke you've made yourself and the company look like
yoo anyone knows why my game doesnt want to update?
i hope that they add to rouges that they can attack 3 times before invisibility runs out just like doing 10 steps
yes please multiclas +3 all on a all items and barb can use crossbow, and druid have a monkey form with 3 jumps like yeti and oneshoots you, I GOT THE SDF MENTALITY FINALLY @zinc sparrow @glad thunder
if you playing on epic you can't and you have to install the game launcher and transfer your account
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS and make rouge invincible while invisible
im fcking tired of be the inifinite beta tester
im on blacksmith and it keeps saying error code 0
Anyone know if this was the last set of quests released?
don't worry its propably new game feature that just doesn't let you play the game (its not a bug)
People would be fine with it if the tests actually were learned from and Ironmace didn't keep repeatedly going back and forth again and again and again and again to the point where it's incomprehensible
they should add the religion rewards again so that market crushes once again
yes, nobody likes move speed, they turn back to a move speed meta, nobody like +
can new troll drop artifacts?
We've unironically had these issues occur MULTIPLE times previously for an entire patch cycle, had it very clearly proven to be a problem, then they change it, and then a month or two or three later they change it right back to abysmal garbage. There is no vision, there is no direction, at this point the entire thing is a blatant scam and just trying to fleece people into buying Legendary and red shards
Ironmace has proven time and time again that they are utterly incompetent and people keep holding out that maybe this patch will be the one that they finally learn, and it never is, and it's never going to be
i think they are trying to make the game so that you have literally only one way to play it only MS Barb Only landmine rouge and cleric
i wonder if they EVER looked at discord or any other comments about the game
You just made all that up as if you are a professional of some sort kinda cringe, all wrong
Except every single bit of it is true
its kinda done me a favour, I just dont want to play right now
So, why is there a timer in the religion tab? Is this in any way more time restricted than the wipe itself?
tbh still love the concept of the game but the balance is off charts so i have to kinda agree with this
game is not going anywhere if always turn back, nobody likes storm, they bright it back, nobody likes the move speed meta they turn back, the people likes fog they remove it, people have problems with druid mobility to evade fights and reeengage they buff it, the game is boring same classes every single fight on solos, and trios its boring everyone runs 330, another time oneshoot meta with barb buff balls, and clerics. the only way u can fight is try to oneshoots someone before they hit u once or ur dead, and trust me this guy with 330move speed with weapon on hand will catch u every single time. @zinc sparrow game is boring
Nope, none. Give their tests time, they are always changing the game, its nice to have them this dedicated, no clue what you kids are talking about because you dont know about balance, data, the life of a dev, etc
This is weak bait
literally
agreed, not much skill this season.
Everyone absolutely loves storm at the higher levels, literally everyone on stream and even lower levels hates fog. Fog is a huge waste of time when you already have random modules
if you look at DaD as a beta that is collecting data then YES but still this beta will die if they don't do anything about it
sure 100% streames dont like fog so people can snipe it better true true true XDDDDD
LOL what do you think is skill? You are still using keyboards and the same chars to outplay each other with the same rules. WTF were you pretending to say loooooooool
i respect ur trash opinion but i dont listen or my iq is going down listen ur arguments
We've known Barbarians were an issue before the game even came out of the playtests, we've known movespeed stacking was a problem since back then too. +All Attributes was blatantly broken from the very start and yet they kept trying to put it in, and every single time, the exact same thing happened and everyone stacked as much of it as they could, because why on earth would you not?
We've known that infinite healing was busted ever since Warlock got added, and yet patch after patch after patch they insist on trying to keep it despite it being fundamentally poor design. We've known that Druid was OBSCENELY poorly made since it was added and every single time they have tried to adjust it, the absolute best they've ever managed to do was shift the problem to a different portion of the class
Sorcerer launched with literally the same exact problematic spell that Cleric had back in the day when their swarm spell was able to kill people in under a second, and yet, it still launched with it.
There is zero internal testing. There is zero QA. Ironmace claims they have ~100 employees, and yet all their assets are from the Unreal marketplace, every map, every enemy, every item, every sound, every animation.
terminate the game
i think the fact that you can't do ANYTHING as most classes against a 330 MS barb is kinda I think fucked up
IF module is random, fog just assures you cannot get to any questing or any module that you want and waste s a ton of time. This was an ez win
Cope harder turdslurper
go quest on normals, without fog not HR so u dont fight at same modules, and get griefed every single boss
If i can play squire gear barb and get a 5 kills back to back then there is a huge problem with the character.
We all want the game to be good but it's like being an abused wife at this point
yeah if think if they fuck up during "beta" and "test" nobody will give them a chance in the future and people will just go play other exctraction game
listen ur community for once @zinc sparrow @glad thunder
They won't, they'll just ban people for being rude and stick their heads in the sand
MARKET CRASH SIGNIFIES POOPY PATCH
This isnt even a "test" anymore. Its like ARK existing for years and saying its still not done just so they can excuse bad decisions/fixes
im literally waiting a good extraction game for say goodbye this, bored and tired to wait patch after patch after patch they listen his community or listen streamers who have the good point, and just get everysingle patch into "SDF" vision a guy who dont play the game or play it poorly and his bad at game
Still got 7 more years to catch up to Tarkov theres much worse bahaha
They always listen. THey literally changed the 'all items are the same item' patch a week later
You are only allowed to give feedback if you either kiss the devs feet or you're a streamer. Don't forget, that ALSO got exposed previously, that Graysun used to pester streamers about what they wanted to see in the patch notes enough that the streamers were getting angry over it and said it live on stream, which lead to it getting outed that the discord they were doing that in was the same discord that during the playtests was defending a streamer who got caught with duped dev-only items that gave him superspeed and instant kill melee and was also full of cheaters and people who spend IRL money
1 month after season release, wyvern drop rate still bug, since day one streamers say move speed is a problem if u put in every single item, SURE THEY LISTEN?
True but its the same issue. @trail flicker my dog would do a better job of designing and balancing this game. Its just a endless cycle of repeating the same mistakes
yep this is the problem
@subtle laurel was the guy, he got blatantly caught and got a ban but it got immediately overturned even though he should have been permaed
if at all its not the same mistakes its okey, new mistakes happen, but perma rollback into same problems?
Oh wow they scrubbed the old logs of it
Yeah im not going to disagree. Over a month into the wipe and at least 6 artifacts simply do not exist in the game xD
i think that next wipe would propably decide if this game will die or if it is going to habe a great future and they will start listening
it does make me wonder what all those "employees" are doing all day when there is barely any new content each patch
The real answer is they never existed
Cant wait for a new map to release paired with the most abysmal balance changes known to man. Meant to add@raw onyx
they don't have much time bcs extraction games are becoming more popular every minute and the moment another big game like this relases it will decide the outcome
that could be it, a real skeleton crew kind of deal
There's maybe 30-40 employees if even that, the game is on enough life support to keep people buying and nothing more
yup
Oh yeah, that's really the best one, splitting the playerbase so hard that everything is dead
Yeah it is hilarious. A couple patches ago nearly every class was pretty balanced, and every broken clock is right every 24 hours as long as it has battery of course but they just decide to ruin it due to listening to random complaints from people they like
the amt of fucking losers playing this game is fucking insane
But at the same time IDGAF IF A CLASS IS BROKEN ADD CONTENT AND THINGS FOR PEOPLE TO DO (not paid things lmao)
yup but we all agree that the game is dying
at this point its expected.
Ya too much time on alot of the playerbase hands
the game that runs at 120 fps without any drops starts fps dropping suddenly when I get in to the warlord boss room nice optimization sdf
Not wrong
MARKET CRASH SIGNIFIES POOPY PATCH
you guys need to play a gamee called dungeon bourne, actually way better tbh
if you fall through the ice into the abyss pve do you get your kit back?
can nexon please be quick with his case or sum cuz I cant take this guy anymore
No
Yeah dungeonborne looks way better!
dude thats actually so dumb, devestating
market crashed because religion, everyones liquidating for skin and chest.
The reason i dont play ice map on pve because i only play pve with artifacts lol
trash game with 0 useful updates, as usual
preach just terminate the game like dungeon born
Massive F
Dark and Darker is trash
Ya im trolling lol
Sad to see this many veteran players agree.
Bring back Dungeonborne, delete dark and darker
lets start a revolution and overthrow sdf and all of the develepors
I would rather see this game in the hands of Nexon. You know how sad that is to say? Sheesh.
Lets do it brother
nah they will just ban us, they don't care about community
At least Nexon wouldn't build a game from ASSET STORE and never actually program the game from scratch.. probably. You know how sad it is to see all of Frost caves assets in a game like Chained together? Pathetic.
in 2 hours
golden key dropped from 12K to 2K market crashed barbs became the actual bosses in the game
Good then we dont have to deal with these developers am i right brother
we should all uninstall and let the petite china bois ruin the game
are there even any developers?
bought 30gk and waiting for them to go back up lol
I just might tbh
this is just absolutely terrible. Lets be real, market isn't crashing because of this trash religion system. It's crashing because 9/10 players are quitting due to lack of content. No reason, no point.
I am pretty sure sdf got like a haters will hate my vision is righteous mentality
Each and every update with 0 content leads to more and more players dropping off.
guys we just can't see THE VISION
Hopefully the vision is to abandon the game
only thing that sdf vision is going to see is player number's drop
Arena Breakout Infinite xD
i hope that they just turn this game into shooter
A passing fancy, this game has come to a point of being 15 minutes of entertainment. Thanks for catering to streamers, SDF. Fantastic vision. At least when people were asking for patch 69 this chat was moving so fast you couldn't read properly. GG D&D, RIP.
The lesson here is don't cater to 1% of your fan base, because they have 80% of the viewership. That is just idiocracy.
tbh we should thank DaD for being here i think it just started the trend for extraction games but i think it is time to let it go and let other games take its place
So false I couldn't even with this comment but yeah, it is time to let go.
so it didn't even start the trend? BRUH
EFT ?
has anyone ever seen sdf lately down here?
how do I join other class channels? I started playing barb and want to join barb channel
actually sharing ideas and ''vision'' with the community of his game?
They are too scared to face the community
he wouldnt be scared if he actually listened the people who play this game and wants it to be better no excuses sdf
How much wpn dmg did they add for the double axe?
idk but you will still oneshot
Does Goblin recoveries still works for Rare lobby ?
this game is unplayable for any meele class right now. Thanks sdf
for every class if you are ranged barb will just catch up to you with his 330 MS
AT LEAST LEAVE ARENA ALWAYS OPEN ITS THE ONLY THING KEEPING UR POS GAME ALIVE
so no cleric nerf, nerf rogue and make barbs super busted again sick @sdf do you have a clue ????
y'all know when the next wipe is happening?
how do you catch up to a wiz, ranger, warlock with 330 ms with weapon out?
you will never know
remember that he can double slow you and then just pull out any weapon and oneshot you
๐ฑ
Are there religion rewards like it used to be last season?
Wipe next week in a desperate attempt to bring players back, watch
no cleric nerf, buff on barb, and rogue is trash
if there were the skull key would cost under 1k
I noticed troll pelts dropping in price
literally everything is dropping in price i think golden key is under 2k ( i am not sure and i don't want to open the game)
@glad thunder reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
YEUP look at religion
like they just kill the market i thought they learned this last wipe
funny joke
games just poop now tbh
fucking terrible and unplayable*
@glad thunder just a tip about balancing not that i have any experience other than gaming for 27 years and been through many "balancing" patches is doing 1 thing at a time in small increments is far more effect than 10 buff to 1 class and than 10 nerfs nerfs to another 1 thing about buffing is, other things indirectly get nerfed and 1 buff maybe all you need before you nerf another, shit like this makes part of your player base basically unable to play your game or have to swap to meta and all you left with is a lobby full of 330 move speed barbs 1 hitting anything that isn't a barb straight w keying every thing with little to no counter play
hope this helps
you forgot to ping them @glad thunder
@glad thunder terminate the game
He's like a tyrant in a bunker surrounded by nothing but Yes-men. He's a developer, not a team leader and it really shows.
wait shit isnt it @ how i do that
The only reason this game has lived as long as it has is because of it's sheer unbridled potential. The developers had no role in it, they are inhibiting it.
Bring back Dungeonborne
do you have any extraction game that are worth recommending?
hunt showdown
Did they do anything to the GS bug from yesterday?
Dungeonborne
i would reccomend hunt use to love that game now i ts hard for me to enjoy
Like they have no one to blame but themselves. This community was one of the most positive, and supporting ones I've seen in all my time gaming, and they wasted it. Fuck these developers.
where can i get it cuz i can't see it on steam
it shut down cause it wasn't very good lol i couldnt play for more than 30 minutes
:/
Since I joined this discord, I have seen the bottom of toxic communities for years O.o literally left few times.
What games have you played you poor soul?
hard to say its toxic when everyone is agreeing
i agree
90% of the messages since the update have been agreeing that its awful
nah thats just being toxic i guess
Every patch you just switch few players that cry, hate and are extremely rude.
You can agree or disagree, but the way can be toxic and non-toxic...
If you read the chat for few days here, your brain is smoothening literally...
a few players? its literally most of the ppl in here brother
Rust, 7 days to die, project zomboid, rimworld, dont starve, ect. Also wdym, this community was insanely positive back during the playtests.
what lol, its not toxic when everyone is saying the same thing
OverWatch + RB6S were one of the top ranked toxic communities, but quite often here it seems like they were beginners..
your the only person saying its toxic here.. maybe look in a mirror brother
womp womp just leave then, people are talking about how bad the game condition is and most are saying the same thing. its not toxic to think the game is in a bad place and to be mad about it
honestly those are nothing against league and cs
Out of those games only rust is known for toxicity broadly.
@scenic pendant Most of ppl here, do you realize most people are not here on discord, there are actually 2 "official discords"
again, you keep saying people, but its literally only you.
Hunger gameplay on yt
Literally my fucking point.
9217 people in dungeon right now 8074 in lobby.
And here we have.. 5-6people active on discord?
yeah, and your the only one being toxic.?
yeah right now but throughout the patch everyone has said its shit lol. just cause we arent all saying it at once doesnt mean its not true weirdo
So calling for different game and how sdf is whatever and such, is not toxic?
If you said it once and left, I would say "fair.. he said his piece and left"
If you keep crying and calling out to sdf over and over.. ya that is no longer giving your idea.. but poisoning anyone who comes here.
when i play pve mode with other player and i die, they can loot my stuff and i get it back at the end. What happens if they drop my stuff, can other pick it up then and i do not get it back?
Its called the truth brother, we are all agreeing. having a normal conversation, then you came along and started calling us toxic. Your the problem, go take a look in the mirror and have a long hard think
everyone can make up their own mind though lol, people who are in here and talking are all saying its shit? no one is siding with you lil kid
And yes, the last patch is botched, can't say anything about that.
I even asked if they did anything to respond, noone even answered.
Everyone here is acting like kid.. we have fukin animated icons, don't try to play that part lol ๐
man this channel is called game dissussion but all the fucking time it devolves into politics and personal attacks and broad generalised labeling like fucking take to dms you fucking weirdos
speak for yourself im not a weeb like you
If you leave the game, they can no longer (or should not) grab your stuff.
Not sure what happens if you drop it on the ground.
You have literally bullshit icon that at least 2-3 people use, each just puts different face behind the red mask with a title I cannot even write in this chat without it being blocked -_-
yeah, they would just create a gacha buying loop and build some interactive shop navigation center dressed up as a game instead
i mostly play solo and started some trio yesterday and i am uncertain now ๐ Im just curious if my gear can be griefed somehow if i die
You are correct sir.
Would be probably better. True.
When no one even tries to answer to a normal question from someone who comes here, the chat loses its purpose.
you complained about people sooking and being toxic and now you're the one being a arse lol
sounding like a bit of a hypocrit there buddy
Noone can loot your body if you instantly leave after death in PvE.
Even your own team.
If you drop items.. eh no idea.
You can test it.. just get some random stuff and drop it in and wait if goblin brings it to ya after game.
I literally marked me + the duckwhatever that we are using anime based icons... you went offended that "you are not one of us"... now you are calling me hypocrit for saying you are the same with different flavor..
wdym duck whatever you can see my name right there stinky
why on earth would i be offended im not a weeb lmao, brother your literally having a sook over nothing, nice ragebait go look at yourself in the mirror lol
The weapons which stored at Squire before update won't change their damage, what a strange bug
nice, just killed another player, while have literally 0 skill with druid, please buff druid more, so i can wipe the lobby, its fun
guys what is the trolls rock?
No idea. Probably a part of some upcoming crafts. Like it used to be with wyvern hide
Wait, you need to "update" the weapons manually, so they get new values, or is it just a "visual bug" but in the "class table" it is showing correct?
Just woke up from a panther attack
Nightmare. The PTSD is real
Parts of druid take skill, they just nerfed the skilled parts and buffed the unskilled parts. You missed your panther dash? Don't worry sweety sdf gave you another.
After playing yesterday and being 2 clapped by barb several times.
And facing 1v1 rogue with me being geared and him not being geared and still almost dying.. (And no there is no skill behind just trying to go 1v1 no duking just pure stabby stabby vs paws.
The nerf to stats hurt low GS bracket.
Dmg is lower.. quite a bit.
Panther is more squishy.
The 2 jumps are.. weird change. I I get 2shot by barbs or wizards, 2 jumps wont help, or you really have to play the "mosquito" which is not fun and people hate the "reset" factor of a druid the most generally.
They made it even more pronounced now.
wtf is wrong with the game, i wanna go to "artifact" HR and it doesnt let me join...?
guys, I return after an year and all of my stuff's gone. What happened
80k on a chest you cant even trade is wild asf lmao
Wipes are normal thing.
Or you mean your acc is gone?
my acc's still here but my character's back to lv1 and my stash is empty, is it a new update? I was playing like since the free to play
what are the best spells for solo in normals and hr?
im running lesser ,protection, holy strike, locust and sanctuary
This is called a wipe. When it happens all youre left with is cosmetics and skins. Items and character levels are gone
shit. But tysm
people told me bless and divine strike are ass now is that true
Oh ya .. as dude wrote.
Every .. 5-6months ish there is a "Wipe" so game gets fresh, people gotta farm new stuff and usually it changes balances in the game and such.
the last thing your chars will acumliate fame wich is just the otal levels you have gained over all wipesmeans nothig
Its rather a good thing. If it wasnt a thing, the most dedicated players would have the best armour and weapons with the best stats and newer players would only have an option of dying. Youre welcome
thank yous pals. But it's fun to start over again in this game
The game is about restarting 99% of time anyway.
When you die you gotta get new gear. So.. well you are doing it anyway.
With wipe you just do not have 100k gold to trade away for other set.
It's not a "visual bug", it indeedly affect the damage, and even if I enter the dungeon the damge still keep incorrect.
Now the barb is inmortal good job sdf
But the Squire bug make my barb extremely bad, so sadddd ๐ฆ
So replace all stuff to nothing and back again, or even that does not help?
Can anyone just join the Tavern Bar to watch the livestreams? mic off
Anybody notice how lobbies can be dead for 4 runs in a row and as soon as you join a match with a boss spawning item you run into 4 teams???
I did by mistake few times, sure I guess unless they kick you out?
okay thank for the input!
Thanks :), I find that if I take weapons out of the Squire and restart the games, everything just work correctly. If I don't restart the game and directly enter the dungeon, the bug will keep still.
Is it a bug that gear bracket are still on with rarity brackets ?
I have heard this bug from others but I didn't face it.
Maybe you can try restarting the game.
Yesterday it was a thing.
There was no patch so I guess it still should be bugged.
It checked if you have Rare or below but still would post Error message if you were above 125 (Example rare lobby or 124 old one)
i just found out about the many AA settings in the game, what is best to use?
what is best for max quality and native resolution?

If you have a good card off is the best for FPS and visuals. Other than that DLSS or TSR cause FSR2 doesnโt work anymore

yeah but the thing is, i destroy 6 on ruins, then it goes back to 0 for some reason after i go to crypts
Yes lantern skin from the Twitch stream rewards.
Ended 2-3weeks ago.
Oh... damn then it is bugged out I would guess ๐ฆ
Normally you can contiue the quests on lower floors... always could -_-
sadly :((
If you have to do it in one game it should work among floors.
If you have to do it on one floor.. I really doubt there is enough jars anywhere.. even Spider nest in inferno has 3
Yep sorry good sir.
It is really nice, glad I have it.
The normal lanterns were really boring I hoped for some skin to fall into the "Blue gem" shop, and then they added the twitch thing so even better.
They will probably add it to shop later I would expect.. not sure if for red or blue crystals tho.
Game fucked?
did anyone crash?
yeah i just destroyed 5 pots in ruins, and i went red it went back to 0
Shapeshift mastery, spells etc shown on barb, i think it crashed
Seems servs off, nice to aware us as always great comunity skills
@zinc sparrow is this a thing and there's actually 10 pots somewhere i dont know or is this a bug
I would expect it to be bug in a same way where you can't go above 124 and not use epic and such in a lobby that should no longer care about gs.
just a bug the mission was not supposed to be in one run
servers down down
im in game what yall mean
"White priviledge" ๐
Just a joke but still ๐
LMAO
When u get out of the game let us know
yeah.. no one's talking about it and its really worrying
I could get over the fact that my items were deleted and my stashes were rolled back, but now there are some duped items that are glitched and refuse to be vendored or moved. I can't use the extra stash tabs that I paid real life money for...
how is this different from a scam?? @zinc sparrow
Bro, the game crashed entirely (except for the matchmaking if you're already in a match)
Servers back up

yo how do i lose rating fast aside from just loosing. is there anything that lowers it more? (im trying to play with my firends but my ratings too high for areana0
there isnt. So either you have to grief others intentionally (which sucks ass) or play with them on a different character

What blows is when you're first 3 games you kill 7 or 8 people with 1200 to 1400 damage. And still lose all three matches. Because your Timmy teammate did 120 damage as a ranger
why dont they just take back the 225 in normal lobbys?
so far this wipe you can use any items and not lose them

The game was lossing players left and right so the new Business plan is to cater to all the noobs. Giving them pve and making white lobby only. But in turn they just split the play base even more giving you dead lobbies

Whos bright idea was it to make arena unable to play with certain people in the same party rather than queue a specific lobby rank
anyone wanna do trios in high roller?
Guys I think thereโs a bug - barbarians are aoe slowing people in the dungeon
did they fix the 124 lobbies or is it still locked to rare items and be at >124
why are chinese players still on NA? thought they fixed
Never seen that much on EU serv too, that's weird since they add auto selected serv :/
The sole reason I'm playing this game is arenas now. @glad thunder this is pretty fucking high priority. Sincerely, your fucking player base.
Being forced to fight pre-made teams on arena is actually trash
LOL barb buff.... seriously hilarious
kid named vpn
Arena is garbage, its all about who has the best gear, nothing else
This is just awful what you did here IM
barb hotfix today right? ๐
keep buffing barb SDF , I dont think they are strong enough
Barb is bad but druid is just disgusting
Very cap tbh

DaD is a gear game thyre correct
I mean sure if you go in with a squire kit or only 200 gear score, yeah. Most people are typically running decent kits but there's still quite a lot of skill expression. Saying it's ONLY dictated by gear is honestly just a cope.
Why now i meet only barbs in game? wtf they buffed asf him ? Is unstoppable LOL
Double barbs ftw
Oh sorry, I forgot there was 0 skill expression in the game. Give a brand new player a 30k kit and they'll smash, true.
did they revert barb?
they try to get rid of any skill expression lol๐ญ
These people need to stop coming into arena with some bs kit
no over tuned๐
LMAO THEY CANT NOT RUIN THEIR GAME
the 30 slow still exists?
And any form of fun
they wont update the game for another month probably
๐ญ
Why buffing barb weapons, just let them use recurve bow
i think they should get a skill called "throw a table" , stuns everyone in a large area where the table is thrown for 10 seconds and increases headshot damage by 5000%
20k on and cant find a trios game, glad they added more ques!!
this matchmaking change is bad, green are pointless, 95% of the leg are pointless (except the BiS one), and tons of build/archetype just got simply wipped from the game. At this point you can remove reinforced instrument from the game, wont change anything
7 min waiting in US west for a trios game and still waiting..... We should add even MORE ques!
it makes sense when you play naked barbarian
Dark and Darker really fell off, pretty awful game now tbh
it makes sense when you play naked anything, but honestly I was already before in the 0 124 range, and it was fine.;;
nobody gets a bonus for being naked, besides barbarian
so what? it is small, we don't care, not the problem here lol
wanna que up? i make lvl 1 barbarian
so is it impossible to get a game lvl II? even lvl I maps takes a while. Whats up? Devs screw everything up with latest changes? Haven't played in a few wweks. And before any super fans say it, yes I am on eastern servers...or should be
WTF IRONMACE WHY MAKING THE BARBARIAN A CLASS WHO IS SLOW AND IN A FUCKIN UPDATE CHANGE THE WHOLE THING BUT CANT ADD THE FUCKIN SERVER SELECTION AGAIN IRONMACE XENOFOBIC I AM NOT BRASILIAN IDK WHY IM PLAYING WITH MONKEES
Not wrong i love being forced to play on 200 ping!!
They added yet ANOTHER que with update. Devs have downs
I don't get your point mate, are you crying because barb is too op in naked lobby ๐ ?
well this is lame...as always
๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Have they ever made a patch that wasnt lmae lmao
not lately
you showing us with your emoji that you are crying and i asked if you wanna que up against my lvl one barbarian, but it seems it goes over your head
I just don't get it. They have what is close to being a really good game, at least having potential, but they just never seem able to get it together... at all
I'm just asking. Because I was saying something, not talking to you, then you come, you talk to me, to tell me something. I try to understand now. So I ask again : are you crying because barb is too op in naked lobby ? Because it wasnt my point, and don''t care that barb gome like an advantage in a queue where I got nothing to loose, but well... tell me please
what do you wanna change? make some construciv criticsm so they can add it
another trashtalker who cant answer simple questions, insteat rambling
what question ? I ask again : are you crying because barb is too op in naked lobby ?
Here we go, another kid who's life depends on the game. I've made cronstructive critisims before but whats that even have to do here? It's not like theyre doing anything about it. Don;t start with me bro. Let it go.
still noi answer to my question
what question lmaooo are you just trolling ?
answer the only question i made
Soon they will notice they losing money with the actual HR rank system by giving us free stuff and they will make it a season pass
have you made a question ?
still no constructive criticism
yes and you obviously regognized it , because since i stated my question you started some bishtalk about crying, while you are thew only one crying here according to dum--b emoji with tears
It's ok. The your game isn't going to disappear because other ppl have less than stellar reviews. Take a breath.
About to start the new update. Any based Barb builds running around?
still no constructive criticism, instead making claims about me, do you know basic logic?
I mean bad reviews will drain new players and churn will eventually go through the existing playerbase. Dark and Darker has had times in it's life where it's playerbase has been really small.
bro lmaooo ๐ nice troll, I got fooled I admit it 
so will you que up with my lvl one barbarian or not?
Man, I keep getting 2 hit by barbs. There's just no counter to them right now.
having 5 lobbies is a bad idea, the game is already dying with these rapid updates...
Well as a rogue main, I can tell you I get 1 tapped now 
At least you can cower in a dark corner and hope they don't smell you. Remember a Barb's vision is based on movement.
oooooooooooh, so it was serious ! ok why not, what do you want to do ? wanna show me how you roll the whole lobby?
facts, trying to load into a common trios que ... which should be very populated but been in que for 5 mins now.
its 3 lobbies per "game mode", not 5, also only thing justified would be squiere lobby on its own and then everything above
Okay so no one is allowed to have a complaint on this stupid discord channel that means nothing because it might turn someone away from the game. I'll sit on here all day like the little kids who are combative about everything and never have my own view...ok. guys.

PVE, PVP, PVP2, High Roller, and High Roller Two.... not sure what you're talking about kid, but there are 5 games you can que into... maybe re read what i wrote
Not the point I'm trying to make, that's a pretty big stretch from what I said.
yeah i wanna fight you, i didnt play barbarian for over a year, but with these changes i will make lvl one barbarian naked and show u some manners
lol
common lobbies are pretty much 0-24 . what was the point or removing and putting it back...
and then itssolos , duos and trios, so 3 lobbies for every game mode, besides pus vs environment where there is one, maybe reread what i wrote
I don't get why you are telling me this I mean I never said the barb change were good first. Nothing to do with the naked lobbies btw ? You have mental issue mate, take the msg you first answered and read it again
you said it doesnt matterr, the "little bonus" , so i show you little bonus
nothing to do with the naked lobby, the barb got buffed, I don't know what you'r into. I'm ok if you don't pick savage roar that is obviously broken, deal ?
THIS IS SHIT
Rogue doesn't need to be nerfed
Wizard doesn't need to be nerfed
Barb doesn't need to be buffed
Most importantly MATCH MAKING GEAR CHANGE IS LIKE NEXT LEVEL STUPIDITY
just remove adventure mode add 0-24 and 124-224 normals and revert balance changes and we are good why do u have to always make the game weird @sdf
NEW
i take everything i can and then go in naked lizard with the little bonus, then we have a deal
you can pick you'r "savage" if you think it's super broken btw
They just need to return to pre patch 79. They were on the right track. The rando maps suck. Goblin cave used to be great.
What do I need spectral fabric for?
making spectral pants
Spoopie pants
Is it worth to sell
I was joking, sorry lol
rogue needed to be nerfed but yeah, the match making change is bad.
Whyyy
Game cooked
Does it really matter if legendary drop in adventure since you can just farm endless money in there and buy them anyways? I mean I have like 4 chars dripped out in legendaries.
I just want to log on to the game once in a while and have fun again. How can they think this is fun?!
Everyone complains lol
We have the range of a mummy spider, the health of one and now not even the MS is an option
i agree but they nerfed daggers dont u think that was enough did they have to nerf the perk aswell
Uninstalling untill barb revert. Game is not fun whatsoever in this state, i have come to realize these devs dont even test their game they just throw out insanly stupid buffs. Barb and Barber
no, stilleto was obviously busted, and honestly rondel was not that far. Tbs those change combined to the fact you can't purple dagger in LR/leg in 224 is maybe a bit too much
Take me with u
Did they buff druid or am I tweakington
stiletto only fun dagger, castillon had a nice animation that had lots of aoe, was destroyed a year ago
I do have fun playing. I'm super disabled so adventure mode is the only way I can play without just showing up and dying to people. So for that, I'm pretty happy. Yall pvpers are having a rough on though.
I haven't played in a while, had some time, wanted to have some quick fun on DnD but there is none to be found. Return pre-patch 79. No more pointless rando maps, no more empty queues. Thank you.
yo mister troller saying non sens ? where is the 1v1 did you just vanish ?
yes im saying the daggers themselves was enough of a nerf no? maybe im wrong
yeah come, tell me ingame name, i make a barbarian now
Oooh stream it
barb was in a decent spot if they slightly buffed him would have been fine why did they over over over buff him and his weapons xd
it has tradition
Bardiche is now a axe for the 30945839th time. They will revert it again
I honestly think barbs just needed a bow
reminds me of when they got rid of gear stats in 69 and proceeded to overbuff barbarian
yeah the tradition is living!
SDF might be the most clueless dev of all time
nice nickname
Wonder what the korean players might be talking about
I agree stilleto have probably the best attacks

Man fuck... this is last time I put my faith in IM. The wipe patch was cool, but they have to fuck it up with this patch.
i was just one shot by a full blue gear sorcerer from 1 block away and im 140 hp
I found the cyclops precious mirror, what is that and whats it worth?
These stupid ass korean devs cannot figure out how to balance this game for their lives and it is absolutely RUINING it

It's not about balancing, they want the game to be unbalanced, it's clear that they want one class to counter another and the loop goes round. Terrible game design, really doesn't feel like they've came from Nexon or anywhere within gaming industry.
did they fix wyvern drops
WHAT IS THAT GARBAGE UPDATE XDDDD
glad this game is going to die
i guess developers havent played it one time XDD
its turbo cancer now nice barbarian unskilled cringe meta
old gear score was peak gg
barb meta is better than Druid meta imo
nah u can outplay druid bro
You can't outplay a fucking rat
which merchants usually end up having the quest chains that lead to skins/emotes?
call of duty: barb warfare kinda cooks low key
you cant outplay bcs u have fat hands and acne face
Do any merchants give emotes in their quests this season?
how make gold
Prob goblin and tavern master

That's the ones that give rewards before

What did they do to nerf wiz?
rogue got double nerf, daggers reduced in damage and dagger mastery from 15% to 10% damage...WTF
they can just remove them and druids, would be best
game is just not fun atm gona put it down changes after changes that feel stupid and not thought out game hasnt really changed in years apart from numbers being moved around to bad places oh we did get ice map but everything else has beeen awful tbh....

I can
Let me correct my self, as a casual, I fucking hate druid, and most of the player is casual player. You get nothing from killing a Druid, and the effort you have to put in is so much more compared with other classes, they have instant disengaging and healing abilities, it's like trying to kill a fighter with 10 second winds.
as a solo bard i feel this to my core... the work i have to put in ... vs my opponent is wild lmao
Don't forget about the panthers silence ability combined with the insane mobility rendering most caster focused classes completely fucked when faced up against a decent druid.
bro as a new casual 400hour player, playing against a sorcerer or druid like how am i suppose to lean and get good at the game when all i get is a fucking one shot back to the lobby
deserved if you can just dps check literally every class in the game as rogue
btw did anyone notice druid nerf? I feel they are still doing the same damage.
We want prego gobolin
The only thing i like from this patch is halberd buff
they did the sdf classic they nerfed him the patch before and now they thought they give him another panther jump with silence ๐
He said smt about the damage log scaling instead of linear scaling, but It really feels the same...
only difference is the damage at like 50+ agi / str is a bit less now but yeah like barb isnt just wkeying everything else down this wipe? lets give him multiple MS buffs and buff warmaul so he can facecheck everything else in the game with no counterplay except running away 10/10 gamedesign
True, but I still prefer barb than druid, maybe it's just me. It's fun to fight a barb, but not fun to fight a druid
They need to find a way to make the queues longer and the pvp lobbies more empty next patch, they haven't done a good enough job yet
yeah so fun to fight warmaul barbar with anything that is melee i am right
@median anvil maybe they add another queue next patch for the growing player base... oh wait
when?

It should bump up prices for blue gear atleast
who fcking care about economics when a solid part of the build/archetype just got wiped from the game? I can literraly go in LR with 250GS but can't play instrument bard anymore in the fcking game wtf is that ? I mean this game should be ssf anyway, I personnaly don't give a shit that items were so low in price. Sry I'm pissed off
I ain't even mad personally I think they shoulda kept the gearsores but I'm just glad 0-24 is back personally that is
just nerf morning star impact power allready. clerics are running wild

ffs I wasnt even thinking about this part bc I never was free to play but hey man wtf it does suck
Yeah I mean I played the free version for a couple weeks then decided yes im gonna keep playing so I got the legendary
but splitting rarity kills it. That makes all green loot useless. and splits player base into different matches even further.

true, but the prob is the give something the take it back, not ok for free player (never been one but we have to acknowledge that tbh)
Not paying a cent and complaining about content is crazy
I was just recently a free player and the only thing that sucked was only have one character slot everything else was fine
You can still bring in green gear in any of the lobbies ?
gang Why u trying to latch on to conflict. We have the paid version. We just see perspective
totally, pass that f2p aspect, now it is : green useless, not bis blue useless, not bis purple useless, not bis leg useless. Like 90% of what you loot is useless. A least you could play random purple or leg in low tier before to trip. Wasnt even good, just a fun way to use garbage stuff. And lot of gameplay/way to play have just been deleted, rip instrument bard honestly...
I guess so but at the same time you would see half the community cry that they paid for the game and got the same things free players did
barbarian is the god cringe
What perspective? Itโs free take what you getโฆ just seems ungrateful
bro we are just saying that before this patch you could use your purple leg item in LR/pvp. You couldnt go in HR and I wasnt asking that you should be able. Just saying that taking back something you gave is terrible. If I was F2P I would even more pissed off I think
I don't get what you mean by splitting rarities just because it says up to blue rarity doesent mean you can't run your green set
what is ungrateful is being able to do something in f2p then SUDDENTLY FOR ABSOLUTLY NO REASON not being able anymore, bro it's not ok tbh (and I was the kind of person saying "this whole shtstorm is ungrateful" when the f2p cames out first you know)
bro idk what class are u playing but play melees vs barbarian is pretty cancer
wrong person?
u just contest my coment and tell me in terrible, fix ur brain @wooden gulch
can the cyclops drop troll pelt?
ok my bad, I answered the wrong msg
Itโs not no reason, itโs changes made the the payed version of the game for the benefit of the paid version.. f2p is like a trial so you can get a feel for the game and then buy it. Not play for free forever.
I agree btw, I did a mistake by answering your msg in the first place lol
@wooden gulch np
Rogue is cooked, yet again
I agree with that, that's why I said "guys this whole shtstorm is a non sens" when the f2p version came out. I totally agree with the free trial aspect (they should have called it free trial and not f2p in the first place to avoid the sht storm but anyway). My point is : you can't, you definitly CAN'T remove something you gave first for free in a half f2p or free trial or whatever we call it...
Oh I got u, and 100% should have called it a trial lol. I thought originally you couldnt even equip greens cause of 0-24 lobby lock? Then the changed the game modes and you could.
yeah. Also, even without this topic in perspectiv (f2p and so), those queue change are bad for the game itself, even if there was no f2p version anyway. Something that reduce the possibilities/ the archetype range can't be good. I'm so pissed off... I'll go touch some grass now I guess lol 
No I agree itโs tropical IM flip flopping, they do it with the balance they do it with the game modes aha itโs annoying at least. Also I just cut a chunk of sod out of the lawn and have it on my desk itโs pretty handy :p
Iโll think of a potted plant too I guess
they ruiind this game so badly getting rid of the cap, solos is just barbs dfull strength

fcking idio-tic bullshit with barbarians with insane speed and achilles 2 shotting you or oneshotting, how somebody cant see this
yes because sdf logic means that the game is balanced around trios so naturally barbs and druids come to solos and grief everyone. great game vision
SDF has done this to barb countless times, hes just trolling his community. I don't think hes this stupid. Hes also unchecked, no one is there to tell him yes or no
trios is the most unbalanced gamemode, i dont get this motto that is spamed since old days, also we had 3 barbarian teams, where is the " balance" then, when its just op
yo i got a question if you do tthe quests for alchemist can you shop more stuff?
thank god I'm done getting demigod and questing, since PvP is just miserable griefing by druids, warlocks and barbs. Now I'll just stop playing
yo i got a question if you do tthe quests for alchemist does the shop quantity of items increase?
He'll sell better potions but it's still just healing potions really.
IS rapier good again?

Does anyone have a Caluclator for stats?
NEXT WEEK TESTING OUT IF ENTIRE GAME SHOULD BE PVE..... GOOD JOB SDF, JOT SURE WHAT ELSE WE CAN EXPECT
or people are playing a lot classes that were changed to test them and it will level out like it always does
Every update the game changes drastically, so fucking exhausting
Meta took about 10 minutes to shake out, it's barbs all the way down right now.
game isnt balanced for solo, probably the main issue with the childish toxic video game complain culture
the game isn't balanced for trios either and the only reason sdf focuses on it is because he thinks this game can possibly develop into an e-sport it can't. It would be pretty easy to disallow druids/warlocks free escape skills, as well as fixing the netcode and horrible latency instead of banging their heads against the wall every week with another druid/barb buff in the wrong direction
aint no thing. theyre still barbs. range wins
Yeah they're easier to kill in high GS lobbies but they're dominating the low GS lobbies. Hop in whites and you'll find that every team has a barb or two.
i guarantee 90 % of initial complains were patch readers not game players
what can i do for better sorcery armor
I have a question for someone, do other maps descend like the forgotten castle?
i was playing white sorc and was still having no problems with them
do i have to pay to play with purple rarity?
As a sorcerer you likely don't want to stack armor. Focus on having decent move speed and poking the enemy then dash in with lightning dash and finish them off.
Are you using the longsword?
I have no idea why you wouldn't be running into issues. I had to put the game down until the next patch since they've completely overrun everything. It's a pretty oppressive meta.
how hard is it to not let druids turn into a rat and escape 99% of fights in solos risk free? Difficulty: Impossible
Harder than balancing it so that druids have a minimum of 0.5 second transform time
latency is fine for everyone ive played with, he said the esports thing? doubt that. Its balanced for trios becuase anyone can play anything, no single character can run through even two ranged still. Just making things up doesnt help. Stop pretending
Keep a fire bomb on your belt. Even a crappy one can kill a geared druid with a mediocre throw. I know it's not a perfect answer but it is pretty satisfying.
they take skill to kite and keep enough distance but once u know what to do mid barbs become easy and good barbs become a good fight fair fight
You cannot kite a raging barb right now. They're moving at 115% MS in whites.
no im currently using just the sorcer abilities but idk what to do to increase my movement speed im too slow sometimes
Before or after they panther dash chicken jump panther dash to the other side of the map in the time it takes to pull out a bottle
If only you realized 115% ms is not possible lmao
low gear with no speed built, needs slows or roots. thats why i said i have no problems on sorc, he has a root and slow
js ran into a barb w 218 hp in low roller
Lots of ways to stop this. Rat is a huge risk also, real players have range, etc
lol yeah i saw somone say 115 yesterday. i just ignored it
More than half the players plays solos. That's the majority of the dwindling playerbase. It's a no-brainer to put any amount of effort into improving solos instead of focusing exclusively on teams
I hate when people run at me with 200% ms, 300 health and 95% MDR and PDR ALL IN WHITE GEAR
naw solos will most likely never be the focus
How many times m gonna get bonked by barb hatchet lmao
It's absurd.
No skill required just E W left click
use that bow for range my fighter brother
M a wizard.
90% hp goes with bardich.
2 taps with hatchet
Thats such a bad idea, the moment a fighter pulls out his bow he's going to be rushed down.
that just proves how clueless the devs are. For example, I run a business where 66% of equally paying customers want x-thing. Instead of putting any effort into that, they just focus on something else that is less profitable. It's unexplicable
I WAIT 6 MIN QUEUE JUST TO GET 2 TAPED BY BARBS.
NO COUNTRE PLAY TOO.
JUST GOES IN SLOWS ALL 3 OF US AND BONK BONK BONK
fighter has speed buff too. fighter can run
Barb is significantly. faster right now.
How is a 6 min que even possible
How many hours do you have? It takes about 10+ arrows to kill a barb, and about 2 arrows-worth of time to close the distance with achilles and roar. If you had more than 100 hours in the game, you'd know that
little tip. if u need more ms on the fly u can unequip things like shield or chest armor mid fight
There's a reason everyone is complaining, it's an obvious overcorrection for barbs being too weak.
@balmy cedar do yhou have any idea what can i do to increase movement speed for sorcerer i've used the perk thing but im not sure what else to do im still so slow and idk what to focus on
Honestly, if sdf was not a founder, they would probably be fired
I love when they 'patch' the game only to introduce bugs that black screen when you leave dungeon
Take lightfoot boots, they're a pretty huge boon especially in solos. Look for gear with MS or Agillity on it and pay close attention to what the MS penalty of gear is.
cleric or druid better for white lobbies pvp
YES I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY ME
it's almost like when you steal assets from nexon you don't know how to follow up with game improvements in an organic way
Is it bannable to play in servers where you have high ping? Cuz my friends are from OCE and I usually play in their servers, I play in NA
do you have a video suggestion for sorcerer? Also where can i get those stuff are there available to purchase on merchants or not?
barb is still weak. savage speed debuff is a little crazy but its still a barb at the end of the day
still weak lmao
Start by experimenting with squire gear and seeing what works for you. Look at your character's full stat list in your inventory and then change your gear up. You're looking for at least 300 MS.
When enemies get close to you you can blast them back with your cylcone spell as well. It creates some extra distance.
what is a cyclone spell? nvm i think i got it
Can I migrate my blacksmith account to steam?
I can't recall the exact naming of it, it's your wind spell that pushes your target back. It's great for creating space when you really need it.
love when goblin recoveries doesnt work for literally no reason ๐ฅฒ
Shall I use the wind thing perk? that has 50% knockback bonus? idk what perks to use really
Cleric
Yyou make one mistake on sorc you're dead
nah, you can just lightning teleport to an unreachable location
Did you die to the void? If so you donโt get your shit back
I generally don't, the extra spacing doesn't help much.
nope, died to spectral :)
It depends if u going melee sorc or cast sorc
Shotgun, buckler shield, cleric, vertical modules
Well unless your in pve or norms you donโt get it back
mostly cast but idk what to get on perks genuinely
it was PvE :)
@brittle loom Spell combination was non negotiable, it opens up new possabilities.
Beyond that it's really personal choice, the other three aren't locked in like they are with some other classes.
GOOD JOB BREAKING THE GAME DEVS.
Why do yโall think the game is in a bad state rn?
oh okay imma see what to do iwth that but imma look for 300 MS as you said
what did they do?
they broke the bardiche attack animation and all out buffed barbarian. the most broken class
stop crying
W delusion
can u get artifact from goblin caves yet?
wish the devs would listen to anyone besidees the 3 people that stream thee game
rogues still the best melee, but yeah but is a little stronger now. what class do u play?
casters.
does swift only work with plate?
The way i think of class building is simple
Dmg stat > Move speed > HP
This is usually the breakdown i use when building for classes.
Focus on gear that grants you an important stat for your character (will, pdr, phys power)
Then focus on insuring your ms is at a good value (make sure your gear has add ms rolls on it or use agi gear)
Finally having hp rolls on gear is always good as health is bis
if ur a fighter trying to go health bar for health bar with a barb thats real delusion
which caster is ur main?
Thinking barb didnโt get massively buffed is crazy. All the barb weapons got buffed, and perks and skills with massive buffs
was warlock but sorc now
oh okay thanks
guys stop bitching about barb buff the druid buff is the stupid one
did they give barb a viable range option?
He doesnโt need it XD
Can someone please link me the maps for this patch? I want to know where to find certain items like Rubersilver Ore
barb can run you down with 330 move with weapons out. and then got a move speed and damage buff
ice breath can slow barbs, and frost lightning can root them. that usually helps kite out their shouts
dont forget the slow
range is OP in this game, so if a class doesnt have range theyre at a disadvantage
Black screen after match.
And server disconnected abnormally.
Ugh.....
If u wanna go crazy caster.
Go apex and lighting Strom.
Crazy dmg
Barb has rage and savage roar. He can be at 330 and you at 300 he doesnโt need a range option because you CANT kite him. He will murder you. Barb got a massive buff overall this patch and itโs insane to say he didnโt
wouldnt it be wild if the game devs balanced classees instead of favoring druid and barb
isnt this the third week in a row that they nerfed druid but its actually a buff?
he got buffs yes, the savage slow debuff is a little crazy, but i know how to play against barbs so i dont struggle. if ur semi new i could see ur take and understand, but as a veteran its not as op as u think
Every class has range
if u had to fight a range battle, u taking 20 frannies to win or u taking a longbow to win?
Dude all the other buffs for the class sure they are very good but just the savage roar change is insane and itโs compounded with all the other buffs to him
ITs AcTuaLly aBuFf ugh
when the nerf increases your dmg output? yes its a buff
U said there's no range.
Now u saying there's range but it vary
Sure barb can get all the other buffs it has except the savage roar change that is insane
do u want tips to help u survive better? or do u just want to complain. either or is cool with me
wheres the new gold farm at
Animal form's damage decreased by 35% overall, idk where you got that from
Idk what he uses but he can slow my trio like wth is even that
barbs probably land 1/15 frannies on me. if the range isnt doing damage is it really range?
Youโre saying itโs not that much of a buff when objectively itโs a massive buff
this game 100% fakes player count
you must not have played as or against a druid yet. they changed the panther form attack animation again. it now does more than it did before the update. thats a abuff
Brother I was literally rank 5 druid in arena this wipe, the damage is dogwater
if you are really out of options / can't farm HR bosses, then you could hit the royal coffins in HR ruins
I said savage speed debuff is a strong buff. but with my class i cant ever let barbs get close to me anyways, so what changed to let barb run me down better. yes im not perfect and make mistakes and barbs can win. but it takes me to make a mistake
Was doing 90+ damage with panther and now it's 52 with the arena kit, so objectively worse
I hate that they added the second dash though, just made druids more annoying but harder to die to with the damage changes
new nightmare troll, probably
Can someone link me where I can find the Dark and Darker maps please?
google dark and darker wiki maps it is a spellsandguns url
Bro what u r doing is assuming every player is you lmao.
Ok? Why are you saying barb didnโt get a massive buff? Itโs insane right now. The other buffs besides savage roar I think are fine. I donโt have issues fighting barb but now if you make a single mistake you die instantly. Not good for the game
Why the hell does savage have a 10% aoe snare? This is the most broken shit ever
Lmao
Makes sense that sdf would buff his favorite class
https://darkanddarker.map.spellsandguns.com/map/Ruins-5x5-02-N I cannot find the other ruins map here
they are randomly generated now
naw what im doing is saying its possible to get good and be better. people want to complain and get barb nerfed but there is a reason for the buffs barb was struggling.
the maps are radomized you cant find an exaact map
Day 2 of this patch causing all the gold I earn to vanish from my inventory. I think I am missing well over 3k at this point.
high roller cost 100g to enter
Oh no... how do I know where to go then if need to finish a quest?
if i make a mistake in other games i die to. its called a competitive game lol. imagine being a barb and getting kited out and slow killed. i bet thats not fun for the barb either
The thing is theres no get good or be better against an Aoe slow as a squishy class.
Ok
press M, learn the tiles - use the wiki to know what they are and hunt what you need based on the tile
Where are no titles on the map
@low helm 100% ragebait saying barb is okey lmao
Yeah some classes can make 100 mistakes. Druid and barb and cleric. Some can only make ONE. You donโt see a problem?
What?
Keeping distance is a skill especially as a squishy class. AOE is Area. stay out of the Area
When I open the map I only see name of where I am not the name of all the areas like on the other Wiki maps... I'm supposed to learn them all by heart???? Is this a joke?
Riuns map isn't the same everytime it changes
The tiles position and facing is randomized, but the tile is 99% the same each time, some chest and mob variance but not much.
Y u ragebaiting lmao
yeah but this mostly applies to low end gear. high end gear ttk is fast so a mistake will litereally get u killed
Again there is no title on the maps only there area ur in how is a new player supposed to know where to go? Is this a joke?
bruhh. if barb was unbeatable this discord would be on a 5 min timer of people yelling about barb. thats not the case
you can look at it as 'you need to explore the video game not follow a how to win guide' also. lots of perspectives to take. Game is near perfect other than whenever i die im mad at what killed me and then pretend i ma game balancer in game discussion on discord
Practice and getting familiar. I have earned my right as a many hour player to know nearly every tile the moment I see it on the map, and when I enter it I always recognize them. The only way to become this way is to play and get experience.
Ya that's not for me - I'm alt F4 what a terrible change yikes - they make is so new player unfriendly
Ok you do you, it's really not hard.
I'm not gonna learn 25 sections by heart its so dumb
Do you loose gear on arena or not now?
they added PVE so right now is better to learn than its ever been
Ok, well then the only other option is the map is the same every game and you have spawn rushing like they used to have ๐
WHY DID THE PRICE OF GOLD AND SKULL KEYS GET SLASHED IN HALF?
everyone money is going into religion
Who cares if the game is new player friendly screw that they can learn like the rest of us this game ainโt for children and new gamers just give us more content thatโs all I care about
tarkov learning curve is 10x greater and yet that game is still thriving
Real
wouldnt that make keys go up?
no because they are being mass sold
no. if people are spending money on the market then what do u think happens?
can we rename game into barb and barber
can u get ur shit back in highroller from goblin merchant or nah?
im dying to more rogues than barbs
oh ur bad at the game then, u should try pve
will squire at anytime give free magic protection potions_
thats a good idea. let me take my 15k hr kit into pve. might be fun
no you cant. it's a sahem but its like that sicne last wipe
Lmao.
(if barbs op ppl will be complaining all day)
Youโll learn if you play. Come next season youโll know a solid 85% of the map
its not only about kit, most likely skill issue in ur case
for the low gear enjoyers a geared out rogue beats a geared out barb
True, barb is kind of a one trick pony
ok ok ill take my 25k arena kit then since i dont have the skill ill use money
is there like any way to get better in pvp, feels like every time im just getting shit on
so we spent all this time working a gear score system just to revert to hurr durr me can take all blues in with an entire inv full of blue heals how does this make any sense..... theres 15 different lobby types to split the already somewhat small ish player base this was a problem when they had map rotation and now they bring it back?
how does this make sense to split the players into this many lobbies
when arena isnt up the dungeons are more populated
Did they remove the gold coin chest from quest reward?
I'll give it a try - Is there a list of all quest items I need for this season?
what does arena have to do with the dwindling playerbase being split into 15 different lobby types to choose from..... and then making each lobby more and more scarce players wise ....
in arena u loose stuff?
no
player base has been plateaued for weeks. numbers arent droppin
why dose my game say checking network when my network is ok
and i cant join a match
just defending a pointless change in the state of the game for why..... this adds nothing for new players to experience they just got the pve mode.... this adds nothing to long time player experiences becasuse they cant find fucking anyone in dungeons
a lot of people agree the lobby gear changes are a well needed change'
how does this positively impact thje game \
might as well be a queue for each different rarity in items
good thing ur not patching the game because that change would actually be a bad change lmao
no shit mouth breather
mad about a change that is in the positive direction is hilarious
yet to explain how this is positive
easier to min max the gear than it was before patch. so now min maxers arent far ahead like they use to be
.... bro thats all you had to say no point in continuing this ..... being under a certain number and being given the freedom to wear what you want under that cap is by far better for players
if i go into the arena with items i havent crafted or looted, do i still lose them if i die?
me no know how to min max under 224 me no get it me want wear all purple but me no cant ???? sdf why??????
ok explain why its better the old way
it allows player freedom to wear whatever they want...... if someone wants to wear minimal gear and bring good heals thats on them ... if someone wants to bring nothing but a weapon and cloak an jewelry
but now its just all color based ??? how does that not just make all min max in normals cobalt?? or in the low hr nothing but ruby silver??
please enlighten me
Rarity-based is better because Gearscore creates arbitary balance considerations. Like Barb can take the bonus of not wearing a shirt to take higher GS elsewhere. Certain classes can get away with running only 1 weapon set saving a lot of gearscore but others are significantly disadvantaged by doing that. Off-handers are worth less gearscore so things like Stiletto's are easier to bring in than Castillons. Stuff like that.
like i said im glad ur not patching because giving that freedom has proved to not work hence why the patched it and changed it. if u cant see the problem then ur the min maxer they wanted to nerf
yea they get bonuses for savage and then get no stats in that slot thats the catch whats so hard here
What do you mean hard?
Do you mean what's the issue? The issue is what I said. Gearscore makes it better to do that than it otherwise would be without gearscore.
Guinness world record book thickest skull award winner
this dude just mad they took his ability to be far better geared than those hes fighting. he needs the gear edge
smartest wizard player
Define gear edge ? If itโs a 124 lobby shouldnโt you gear to that number ?
So there's a metric fuck ton of balance issues introduces by gearscore for one. Then for another it's arbitrary and annoying for players. Most people don't wanna do math to figure out what they can and can't run. It's always frustrating for them when they're over gearscore and they have to figure out what to take off and replace.
ur arguing against changes that take the game in a positive direction. it shows the type of person u really are in videogames lol. get nerfed nerd
if it takes you more than 5 minutes to gear for a game thats on you maybe lay off the paint chips or the industrial glue huffing
is horsemans axe range better after this patch?
at the end of the day im happy with the game and ur not. whos really winning here
smartest wizard player
Pretty sure I'm feeding a troll here my b
The new rarity system is 10x easier and better
naw we just debunked his argument so now he resulting to default insults
ye try run rare lobby in full rare set ๐
Hr is a superior lobby over mid normals
still waiting on a response that makes any remote sense as to how this benefits players beyond simpletons being confused by numbers an liking colors better
I mean, if you wanna sell a game it's good to make it accessible to simpletons too right?
min maxing applies to everyone in the lobby... its not like certain players have exceptions to bring better gear than others ... everyones being given the same parameters ...
me no understand how me at 125 me in all green me no get it
its never coming back bro. either hang it up or adapt
I canโt believe people actually think that this is a good patch the lobotomy doctor must be on a hot streak
I mean it is Ironmace I would never assume any change is permanent
@WALLY that and griefing the player pool is too small for his conveinece
we can agree on one thing
hes making it so obvious that he needs a gear edge to succeed
bro add me rn
This Barb buff is making me crazy\
@ruby dust THEY GOT A BUFF?
youre sorry you play run and runner on wizard cant even play the game
@neon rune push 'X'
Wally howโs is there a gear edge if you can wear exactly what I can wear that Doesnโt make any sense
im happy playing hr. do u even touch hr? i guess hr might be a better option for u now since u cant min max as hard against timmies
Is Dungeon Recovery supposed to sometimes not work? I didn't get the option the last 2 times
hard capped pathfinder btw
90% of Demigods got it with less than 10 kills why are we using rank as a measure of anything
@placid crown did you fall in the abyss in the ice cave? i dont think you get it back in high roller anymore
so what do u need 124 back for when ur pathfinder in hr?
this guy gets it
he was talking to u lmao
when did i claim to be a demigod ive been hardstuck exemp every season, lay off the lead paint chips wally
any word on what happened? it seems like I was rolled back a week or so but I have no clue why...
troll aggro... dude is in the room with me for a full minute and troll doesnt aggro him once while hes fireballing it
do you all like the new barbarian meta?
Barb everywhere, rouge nerfed hard
u have the ability and familiarity of playing HR but ur in here crying about 124 gs min maxing. lmao u cant make this up
It takes a while sometimes
cause its bad for the game glue eater
Idk what yall complaining about barb for, druid still lthe most annoying class by far
This just end Wally was confirmed leaving the office after the lobotomy looking better than ever
have to wait until full round is over, takes over 30 minutes on forgotten castle often
ur opinion is the minority on this one dog. ur ratiod
me no like game so if someone likes the game they must have brain problems. thats how u sound
bro cant get enough of slop
when are they nerfing the parry on long sword and latern sheild? shit is so stupid
Lantern shield parry kinda hard to hit
lol wut
found him get his ass
how is there still the same bug where i cant use my weapon after swapping, it gets stuck in the animation...
warlock gameplay is the most cringiest shit to me, pull whole rooms and then fight with them in tow
still better then pve mode
rapier got buffed right? Is it worth trying or still shit?
nah id rather watch people just chill and enjoy than this cringe shit
I use it to cheese mobs thats about it
chill and enjoy with a bunch ov mobs running behind is better then pus bs environment
ov mobs? i never played pve so i dont know what ur on about. im assuming its just looting and killing pve
its destroying the economy
18.5k in game. man this patch in poppin off
the dwindling left of it, yes
oh on items are accesible for everyone and its ruining my silly in game economy oh no
so you like overflowing market better than ssf? And how do you enjoy seeing "people chill" when you have never seen it
tbf blues with semi good stats are dirt now. i have to agree with him somewhat but big ticket items are still profitable, same as ore and boss drops.
how long are rewards gonna last for religion
You they changed the system so low skill players canโt farm new players in min max it was a huge problem
if you actually give a fuck about the economy in a video game go outside and get your bread up
imagine being more concerned about items than gameplay
why does my game lag so much when opening inventory
anyone else getting server lag??
I have enough money to constantly validate excessive spending on a game. I have more self respect though to not do it.
... they go hand in hand in a looter
care to explain?
what are you even talking about lil bro? just play the game who cares how much items cost
if i have to do that then.. ur just playing ignorant for the sake of being right
What does going outside and making money have to do with the in game economy?
well wouldnt better items being more accessible to everying be better for gameplay?
my point is. if youre worried about a video games economy youre prioirtys are in the wrong spot. you need to focus on real things that matter versus a long sword costing to much on the market of a niche video game
short term maybe. but thats what arena is for. long term the game would die. look at end of wipe of any looter game
How're the druid nerfs?
can someone give me a short explanation on what religion is? how do i get religion points.
It's a bit ironic of you to say that but okay. Virtue signaling to yourself, aloud, and then saying anyone is in the wrong spot.
well i think ur wrong and i think long term its best
glad ur not the dev
