In the past i don’t think it was as bad, game is on its death bed at this point

Yeah, slowmode from when the game was successfull still haunts the discord

i'm not talking about the chat, i'm talking about the game itself, the removal of rng stats (the whole magic of the game) and solos (i have no friends). if they're also removing pve mode, its just high-roller where i can use gear i've looted, which i don't feel prepped for in the slightest. kinda seems like it'll be at least 6 weeks of snoozefest or however long it is until season 7

Also in the past it was New, an dpeople where covering it on Youtube. Not saying there aren't trio creaotrs, but I guarentee you theres more Solo content creators than trio, You need people to talk about your game, unless they wanna make a game for the same 300 people to play for forever

Honestly i wanted to like that game, the UI is the worse by far of any game i’ve ever played, many items untextured, feels super unfinished like a unity demo kinda, i honestly don’t recommend in its current state

They keep adding stuff without polish and all that hidden poop smell is starting to leak through now that its the size of a gold pile

# idle whale rug pull incoming

Honestly, I definitely feel like the fun I've had in the game so far has been worth the money I spent. Which is more than some, considering I bought both the HTL edition and the first Madrinas bundle, the one with the mug.

Oh and for sure, Expedition needs like four passes done over the UI and such. But it's also their second playtest, so at least they get a way bigger pass on stuff like that than SDF gets on his BS anymore.

legacy: steel and sorcery? the game everyone has been crying about higher gear players killing new players DOESN'T have pvp? i've been reading about the game, almost bought the god tier pack. avoided it due to lack of secondary stats, all gear being the exact same and looting not really being worth too much. shame because it looks nice, just can't hold a candle to dad even with this game's shortcomings

cosmic swan
# mental willow You are tho. Instead of providing feedback or doing anything meaningful you are ...

But what he said is true tho. I've been making suggestion since I started playing, I have 5 suggestion in the top 15 suggestion with the most upvote on the website and not even one have been added or even mentionned by the dev. SDF is ruining our experience and the potential the game have, he's not listening to anyone expect himself. That doesn't mean i'll stop giving feedback and making suggestion but it's honestly pointless, even when you come with really great idea he just ignore them

hasty marlin
#

personally i think dark and darker is in an amazing spot right now, don't listen to what reddit, discord, youtube and every public place has to say bros. they are just all solo NOOBS. get in game with the real chads like me, the game has never been more alive.

# mental willow Okay, but how does calling Devs the c word help?

Well he doesn't listen to anything positive even when you make suggestion backed up by thousand of player. At some point we need to show that we are upset by what he's doing, we've tried being nice, giving feedback and suggestion, quitting the game, review bombing and nothing work. And honestly clow n isn't that big of an insult, it is but you get it. And we've reached a point where asking for SDF to leave is the best suggestion for the game imo

what is the exact time of wipe

boreal flame
#

They are slow with making the changes because they care about balance. If they rushed these things you would be in here crying about how the new things break up the flow of the game. Just be honest about this. The devs are doing a fantastic job of making changes when they are ready to roll them out

For real? You're not trolling? How many time did they pushed a feature that completely break the meta, the marketplace, the balance or the looting feeling in the middle of wipe? They even aknowledge that several time. And he's doing that again with this semi wipe, removing solo and duo before working on anything to make solo and duo work in a trio environnement, huge nerf to random attribute without working on a skill tree or new thing to re create build variety etc

Everybody just needs to chill. Get your $15 ready for next season, pick up the new season pass for extra stash tab and some gold bags. Show them that you love them and care about them and we are all here for the ride. Remember guys it's not about the destination and it's the journey. This is an amazing journey we are all on together, with the best game ever. Next patch will be the best this game has ever been, we will have 100k+ concurrent players. I am calling it.

What sense does it make for the ranking system to close on the 23 if the season 7 isn’t dropping till august

hasty marlin
#

I think it's fair to say that while there is different crowds that play the game, and people want different things - what people DON'T want is an entire wipe/season full of 0 content or anything worthwhile being added, and only new features and entire game modes and queues being removed. This wipe gave us absolutely ZERO. We've been waiting since December (which is when it was supposed to come out) for the "next real content" which was the water map. Even the "teaser" screenshot of the water map posted a few days ago was literally from the dev Q&A over six months ago. Quivers, inventory QoL, backpacks? Sorry guys, our specific guy who is the ONLY one in the whole comopany who knows how to code for the inventory left, indefinite TBA. Solos and duos being the most popular modes for 4+ seasons straight? Sorry guys, we're removing these because we don't have enough people playing the game and we want the game to feel alive. Adventure mode? Oh yeah, we spent a ton on marketing so it appears on Facebook, X etc and a lot of people came back and loved it and loved to play with friends. Sorry guys, we're removing this to shrink the queues in not even one full season. Oh wait, they might be going back on this after a month straight of outrage - crazy, it's like community feedback and expressing distaste actually works.

New player experience? Let's make it so free to play players are shoved into ONLY one queue, and in that queue you can ONLY use white gear. Dungeon RPG? Sorry guys, either buy the full game upgrade or you can never experience even your green items that you find in the raid.

Random modifiers? TBA. Let's take out the "looter" part of experience that almost everyone specifically plays for, being able to create build identity - because two years later I decided I was doing this for the "mass appeal" and not my own vision.

you guys remember in the Q&A's recently SDF said how a lot of his ideas, were completely voted against majority wise by other devs/in-house staff, so he went with majority, and now he has been more about embracing the ideas for his own vision and what he believes the game should be?

Dude I'm not even gonna lie, I've not seen this message until you just linked it as I've been fairly detached from supporting this game the last few months. But this pains me to read.

You have an entire team of in-house, talented people, with direction and ability to implement past features that the community wants. And now we are fully on board with allowing the sole direction of the game to go to the lead developer and him only, with no community feedback and other developers/leads confirming that there will be no large reverts on these extremely hated patches. GG.

# lime igloo O correct me. I just assumed it was a mini wipe.

All current ITEMS and GOLD will be removed during the semi-wipe due to the introduction of the new items. We will also be resetting all Triumph levels so everyone will have the opportunity to earn more Bluestones until the launch of EA Season 7.

Character levels, Quest progress, Merchant Affinity, Unlocked Stashes, Religion progress, Karma, and Reward Token will NOT be reset during the semi-wipe. All previously purchased DLC: Seasonal Packs will remain valid until the start of EA Season 7.

I think a game should be a work of art, passion and what someone loves. But the game is now being run by an entire studio. There is real employees who are making a living off of this, and rely on it.

How do they let one person who is actively ruining what the majority of the playerbase wants, kill the massive spike of upward growth that the game had when it came to Steam? Surely those at Ironmace are monitoring the growth numbers, negative reception from every angle and multitude of concern videos from every single one of their large creators that is getting overwhelming support?

This isn't just nobody timmy two-shoes being mad that they nerfed his favorite class. It's massive parts of the game, the entire IDENTITY of what the game has grown to be and the reason people have continued to play and support it - being entirely wiped out and changed. How is this being allowed from a business perspective?

#

Nah these are just my thoughts on the state of the game being written in real-time.

idle whale

that’s why i’m saying he needs to play other classes and experience the game more. I think it would help him out alot, i honestly don’t think he plays very much and doesn’t really know what the average player experience is imo

you're gonna spawn into ruins and instead of going down, you can go up, new water map is actually above ruins, backwards

cosmic swan
# idle whale i wonder where the water map will fit on the world, could easily be a second lay...

Well they described it as a new "biome" so I guess it's a solo map like goblin cave, so with new queue and possibly a 2nd floor later like they did for Frost cavern. And if they actually really worked on it this time maybe they'll directly release a new biome with 2 floor. Or a map with a unique mechanic like after 15 min the map get flooded by a huge wave and that reshape the map (But that would be cool and smart so they're probably not going to do that)

I never thought of druids as some bro turning into chicken panther bear rat mid flight in a matter of seconds with a 360 fart in-between.

Always pictured it as nature's wrath, elderly grandpa that has an incredible connection to all living. Maybe spirit animals that could be summoned, ability to grow stuff in seconds, heal anything, grow huge trees maybe or control some vines, and surely there are forms, but mainly it's like become a bear for a bit or etc, not 20 transformations in seconds

Meanwhile, we now see in 3 years, they can't build anything. They can't even make a simple quiver or increase stack sizes of arrows. It's not for lack of trying. They simply didn't make the game and are learning in reverse. It's painfully obvious at this point. There's a reason they can't fix any of the foundational bugs like blocking. Reverse engineering is much harder.

There does seem to be a surge of Medieval Extraction games tbh, got Shadows of Chroma Tower, Expedition Into Darkness, and whatever that other one was called

I mean this game will sadly but you are right the idea is out there. Can't put it back in the box now. @ocean gale is shadows of chroma any good? keep hearing it brought up last couple days.

Did you actually play it or just based off the steam page? Just curious

#

I was turned off of it due to how the colors/art looked when I first heard about it, but then I learned they had a playtest and gave it a shot and it wasn't as bad for me. I think if you watched videos you might already have a decent idea tho tbh, but I would still say to give it a shot. It's def a VERY similar game, and it's made by a smaller team (you can tell), but it does feel like they are a lil more passionate about their game then these fucking devs. The MAIN dev for Chroma is in their Discord pretty much all the time responding to players asking questions or just chatting with peeps

# sonic maple entitled rangers

20 arrows take up about 2.4 liters of space when packed tightly in a bundle or quiver
40 loosely piled medieval coins take up about 0.046 liters of space.
meaning they want to be able to carry 24 liters of arrows that in a slot that would be the space of 524 coins
522 medieval coins weigh about 731 grams
That’s roughly 1.61 pounds
100 medieval war arrows weigh about 7.5 kilograms
That’s 16.5 pounds
So again you gonna go off about having more arrows than any of y'all will survive with ?

the old point of the game is dead my bro, gear rolls are cooked now, everyone will be running basically the same build and gear will have nearly no impact. we don't have the skills or perks to create diverse builds. market is practically cooked. what are you gonna do on market? sell a blue cloth pants with 1 vigor?

yeah.. it should have never, not with what IM considers F2P. Same with PVE in my opinion.. and from sdfs point of view, they should have never have added solo/duo either if they arent gonna support it down the line. None of those things were presented to us as "just a test that we revert if there is backlash".. It was "BIG ANNOUNCEMENT, FREE to play on Steam!", a cashgrab, as youve said.

Yeah. Removing solo/duo after years of fostering those players, who are the Majority. Is a terrible terrible move.

If i had to choose which to remove id choose to keep duos and trios, because if you're solo into trios that's extremely unlikely to go well, but at least if duos exists solo play is possible in the 1v2

There are other fantasy extraction games being made off of the idea hitting mainstream. So, a reasonable well loved product is sure to come along eventually

The issue is that they removed solo and duo modes because the community didn’t understand how it works.

This is a role-based game — classes have natural counters.

What does that mean? If you go solo, it’s very easy to get matched against something that beats you, and most players lose.

So what’s the problem? People arguing in chat saying things like “druid is too strong, rogue is too strong”... BROTHER.

You can’t have 3v3 balanced and also have solo mode balanced at the same time. It just doesn’t work.

Players ended up getting solo and duo removed by constantly complaining in chat. They’re gone now.

Imagine people on leagueoflegends arguing because the are op champs in aram. Jajaja wtf

The mainmode is not aram, is 5vs5.

Imagine creating a gamemode in your game that gains SIGNIFICANTLY more traction than the one you intially planned, then just being like EFF it I like the original mode even tho 70% of the community likes the other one

# mild shell this man is right

its called gäslight1ng. This was never the problem, people complain about broken things in trio, too. The reason you see more complaints for solo balance is. -->CAUSE 80% OF PEOPLE PLAY SOLO OVER TRIO<--

I dont give a shit about class balance rn Im talking about the removal of gamemodes

mild shell
#

it is weird that they didn’t come up with a way to balance solos separately considering how popular it was, but it probably would’ve taken a lot of work

@sinful gull indeed I know the playerbase is going to die once solos is removed, class balance aside that’s the worst move they could make to kill the game faster

These people are pay pigs, you cant aruge with em. They cant uderstand the concept of adding something, making money with it, and removing it.

the only thing that hit me really hard was the gearbracket removal.. but this is not even what im criticising, it is just shady as hell to have these monetization f ups ALL the time after promising us to never be like that, they do it WHILE hiding under the EA shield which is so dirty. And blaming the playerbase for sdf´s bad balance while telling us that he will stop listening to feedback after years of failing to listen to feedback.

rare oracle

While most businesses strive for success, some may choose to intentionally fail or wind down operations for strategic reasons, even with investor backing. Here are a few possible scenarios:
Strategic Exit or Pivot: The company might realize its current business model or product is not viable and rather than continuing to spend investor money on a losing proposition, they strategically decide to wind down operations or pivot to a completely new idea, potentially within a new company. This allows the founders to preserve some capital and explore other opportunities, possibly with investor support in a new venture.
Protecting Assets: In certain situations, like potential litigation risks or for financial maneuvering, a company might become "intentionally insolvent" (meaning unable to pay its debts) without formally filing for bankruptcy. This could involve selling off assets strategically to limit creditors' ability to seize remaining resources.

# misty stone The issue is that they removed solo and duo modes because the community didn’t u...

I strongly disagree:

  1. The game has been running for a few seasons with solo and duo queue. Despite the fact that it wasn't perfect, it was very welcome enjoyment for many.

  2. Anyone who played DaD for a long time or even professionally knew its weaknesses and strengths. That's part of the experience. Therefore, balance is not a convincing argument for banning two very important game modes from the game.

  3. In the end, you can certainly argue about the right direction for the game and have different opinions. However, it is not acceptable to delete two essential game modes without taking the community with you and offering an equivalent replacement. There is currently no substitute.

  4. (now it's getting serious) Therefore, the huge loss of player numbers is absolutely justified and a symbol that @glad thunder and Ironmace is about to kill his/their own child (DaD)...

I hope he and Ironmace will finally come to sense...

Removing solo and duo is the right direction if they can improve the trio only experience

tribal canyon
#

Currently trio only is going to horrible because finding teammates is time consuming and inconvenient

upbeat sun
tribal canyon
#

Also theres valid reasons to not like trios

Less room for skill expression

More stat check heavy combat

Buffball (bard,barb, heal druid meta?)

upbeat sun
#

Thats why everyone is quiting the game besides the lack of content, balancing, listening to comunity, etc

tribal canyon
#

Yeah

#

But removing game modes is also theyre only option considering the game was dying

#

Even if its not a good solution and will just further erode the playerbase and give the illusion of populated lobbies

#

Theyre clearly not capable of adding enough content of fixing the games issues which would make the playercount return to 15-20k enabling more than 2 queues per map

upbeat sun
#

First of all is their fault the game diying and they did have a lot of options to improve it but removing the only thing that keep a lot of players in the game is not gonna solve the problem, start adding content improving the balance of the classes, listen to the comunity and people will start coming back to the game is that easy bro, removing duos and solos is worse

tribal canyon
#

I agree on that except balancing classes, you cant do that

#

Balance is only possible to achieve when its done for one game mode

#

Adding content would be the easiest thing but i think the map addition isnt important

vale dock
# tribal canyon Balance is only possible to achieve when its done for one game mode

Just balance for one game mode with the disclaimer that other modes may be unbalanced? People will still have a choice, people still played against druids and landmine rogues in solos willfully, you can also balance for duos which would likely mean solos gameplay won't be terribly unbalanced as well as trios, whereas if you balance solely for solos or trios the other gamemodes could struggle with balance

vale dock

#

Not exactly you can actually do many things like modify perks like "when having 2 teammates you gain (effect)" or something idk there is no way you cant balance there is always a way, and if there is not if the entire comunity is asking you to nerf the f druid you nerf the f druid because everyone is asking you to do that

Build it and they will come. Look at Rust. It took a long time, but they did eventually earn confidence from the players back to become what it is today. They just kept adding content and improving the game but Rust was also a shitshow in the beginning

I really like the test server gear changes. Bringing the overall power of gear down is a buff to PvE and all dangerous aspects of the dungeon. It felt like the game had higher stakes and my gear choices mattered way more.

But im also not blinded by the gear we have now. If people are too atta hed to how things are right now, yeah it will be hard for them. But i think thats a them problem

Eh, i was hyped to find gear. Its all about perapective imo. If you judge the gear based on current live server gear- sure, its bad. But if you judge the gear based on the rest of the test server gear- its still fun to find upgrades.

Its kinda like when you play a character that has something busted and it finally gets nerfed. It sucks to get nerfed but i feel it will be better for the health of the game.

Oops, rhis was a reply but i didnt reply. Not fixing it Salute

On steam it says 5k in game, so it cannot be that bad if you still play it. Unless it reaches like 1-2k players they won't give a F, sdf himself said the vision is 3k players and he is aware of it.
