Bruh , bruh what are you talking about 😹 "Tavern worker" already come from like 5% CPU usage to all 20-30 while im playin Ruined Castle.. While game itself taking like 40-80%. So okay lets work harder to spend resources to catch this thocking cheating timmy by the hand?
And what about alternatives , like Dungeon Stalkers? They said there will be much less - to none bots in matchmaking, meanwhile... You get attacked by gathered-up zergs of Bots (like 3-4-5-6 of them just coming together for you as one team lol, aint attacking each other obviously) in quick-game, you get attacked by another two parties in trio in like 1 minute of "dungeon crawling"... Thank for its devs by the way, they show me Dark and Darker still in much better state than this bot-fiesta man...
But yea, gatherin things for "updates" in your shelter kind of goofy, but im not sure DnD needed something like that to be honest
huh
nice a 4000 second (1.5hour) ban for accidentally killing my teammate in random queue arenas as a sorc
before i install the game again does it still have solos?
teammates jump on top of my shit how is that my fault, or if my elemental throws a rock and kills teammate how is that under my control
is there a way i can make dnd launch faster? it takes on avg 5 to 10 mins to fully load into the game through steam
did they remove solos or not
gc is solos
Try to run the game on SSD, not HDD maybe. Work for me, get some speed i mean
add gambling
what do i do, if I haven'
recieved twitch drops after claiming them and having account linked but only a few items came through and some cosmetics did/didn't
I aggro'd the Worm mini boss, and it chased me through the whole map, i jumped in a red thinking i was safe... the worm then said nah fuck that and came down into the deposit item area and proceeded to wall fk my corpse 😄
More?
failing to connect to the server
What is up with people teaming up in solos? Are they not afraid of getting banned?
game still the same shitshow or any changes in the past two months ?
BRO CHEESE THE TROLL
i'm so disappointed. Where is this game going ? It's already dead, and it's sad af. You guys throw a shit ton of updates, each week. The gambling is real ! No roadmap, no clue on what's happening and where you are going. This game is dead because you killed it. Why would you do that ? What's the plan ?
Yeah I am not wating my time with the semi semi wipe
Guys how do I contact support for Dark and Darker missing items if I do not have an account because my game is through steam, but then to create an account I can't use a username that exists because its my account wtf
i still be having fun forcing people to roleplay with me in the dungeons or die
whenes wipe
End of Aug
Is cleric viable in solos or is it never meant to be strong enough on its own?
is game dead yet?
actually, end of September... dead and deader
damn
forgive my ignorance as i havvent been keeping up to date but is there a sane reason why sdf made solo duos and trios locked to the current respective dungeons or does he lowk just not want a playerbase ?
So wich class (barb exluded) would be th ebest for trying to kill geared players in norms (gc) whilein squire gear
Maybe ranger or warlock if you are good at zoning
Something busted with the game right now or something ?
full plate fighters running up on me with no footsteps ?
Havnt played the game in months how’s it doing rn
its fun but finding more and more reason why its gonna die
just hoping the devs pull a finger out
It’s a shame really this game has so much potential
tbf i spent time looking over the changes and previous versions of the game it generally seems unfortunatly that there intentionally trying to kill th game
like how can any dev happily state that the best version of the game was in beta xD
That’s what my friends have kinda said as well because if the court case or sum
court case is over ... they have no reason to continually drag there game into the dirt and proceed to stomp on its neck
Hey after a long break i decided to go back to dark and darker
Which characters would you recomened first playing (pvp and pve)
play barb or get killed by barb take your pick
Y’all really think that the court wouldn’t be able to tell that the studio was purposefully devaluing their product? lol
dont matter if they do or not ... by law they have to produce a fine to the CURRENT valuation of the business its a genuine legal strategy
if im holding a sword and crystal ball and the sword has true magic damage will that add to the spells i cast with the crystal ball aswell?
yes
ty
lol I think you watch too many crime documentaries
why would they purposefully lose out on money if it wasnt ...
i think there lawyer knows alil more than you
serves 0 purpose in court too, i dont know why ppl think this
You’re the one making wild claims about them purposefully devaluing their product.
its the only logical explanation to the current state of the game
pretty extreme one actually
if there is some other random explanation to the recent changes please give it im listening
I think you underestimate the power of a CEO’s ego
aight
many streamers and content creator made the claim im just taking it as the most logical explanation as no other has been given
ceo with a big ego will make changes that MAKE them money not lose it
In HR did they remove all the extraction points or just so you cannot see them on the map?
lol and ego doesn’t make you magically right about every decision. But “streamers” know the truth /s
like ive been a massive supporter of the game i think its great but there is clearly something amise
amiss*
Deliberately sabotaging the quality of the product they deliver will not sway a legal dispute or influence any legal facts, if anything it works against them in court

deliberately , they have to prove its deliberate ...
its just changes that ruin the game they just have to say it wasnt intentional ...
Well, if you think it is deliberate based on zero evidence. I’m sure a court of law could determine that with evidence.
How would ruining the game help the court case, like i said it would help work against them
like you said there is 0 bases to my claim , just like there is 0 bases to yours i cant prove my side you cant prove yours ...
my claim is it wouldnt do anything but hurt them in court, i provided to you a base
I can determine mine based on the way the law and court works. Yours is baseless reddit conspiracy
If it were hyporthetically speaking happening, this wouldnt win them the case let alone assist them
there not trying to win the case ?
What a statement
@whole trail just cause you say its how the law works does not( means its right ... its a well known fact they cant use previous valution when submitting fines they have to use current valutations ...
So you are saying ironmace wants to give away 12 million yen and cease all work on dark and darker? potentially putting a hundred people out of a job?
oh jesus there trying to shut down the whole company ?
Perhaps a example of extremism but that is what nexon wants from the case, they do not want to "take the game back"
i thought there was just a fine
they want the game gone. Which is ironmaces only source of income right now
what happens when you suddenly cease that source of income, plus a fine of 12 billion yen
whelp dam i dunno then xD
Dude doesn’t even know what he is arguing about 
Its fine, its just misinformation is rampant right now i see how someone could get confused. Please remain respectful
Yh
theyve already been charged 6 million yen which they are going through appeals right now
sorry ₩8.5 Billion (about 6 million united states dollars)
@sand sedge well fck i bought a game that is fcked
they will have to provide refunds right >
No they don’t
Not neccesarily, Nexon is essentially suing the developers of dark and darker for having "the memory and knowledge" from working in nexon, which isnt something to have grounds to sue on, in essense the lawyers in south korea are not the most knowledgeable in gaming so i can see how this confusion can come about
nexon provided close to no evidence of the claims they made
if ironmace can successfully state their arguments well, and provide neccesary evidence, they will likely win the court case
i thought they had stolen code from a previous nexon game ? i dunno is there some where with legit information i can read up on ?
like surely if they have exact coding from a previous nexon game that is evidence enough ?
Court ruled no basis to conclude the product was stolen, heres some sources
https://gameworldobserver.com/2025/02/14/ironmace-pay-nexon-5-9-million-trade-secret-infringement?
https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/dark-darker-dev-ironmace-ordered-to-pay-nexon-5-8-million-in-copyright-stalemate?
appreciate it
They did not steal copyrighted information.
Absolutely wild they couldn’t do that on their own but came into a public forum to so confidently be wrong. 
Is the game more active now or still dying
no reason to drag it on, admitted they were wrong like a mature person and moved on
Still wild
not active rn because wipe is soon (august 26th)
@whole trail you have to provide any information you was wrong discounted sources i had used to form my opinion without providing any of your own ... krisa provided sources explained why i was wrong so i admited i was wrong people make opinions that are some times wrong part of life
Guess i joined too Late, is there any game on the market that is quiet the Same
Cool. Do some research next time before you just listen to streamers and fling claims. Hope you continue to enjoy the game and good luck in the dungeon. 
Game is averaging 2k to 3k players and will go up some with the wipe and hopefully go up more with new content in Sept.
some good niche extraction games include midnight walkers, forever winter, level zero: extraction, shadows of chroma tower, consider checking these out and come back for the wipe!
Semi-Semi wipe drops 26th of august
Season 7 drops the 23rd of september
plenty of content and players in the game to do the content with and majority of the player base is half decent willing to teach new players and play with them
thats what knights are for
yup i used knights but the player base in generally is decent ive learned alot from randoms in here
awesome! glad to see your enjoying it around here
this game has a charm that cant really be replaced
Thank you!
just run if you hear a barb shout and you will have fun
of course
On adventure can u still do bosses and get drops such as troll blood etc?
i do believe so yes 🙂 i know you can get pelts and stuff.
wizard explosion spam needs to be sorted out no defending against that
That shit annoying af getting stuck over and over sucks
its the fact they can attach it to you
like i hit all 4 i one shot every class in the game with squire gear
well 4 shot
bro thats so obnoxious i legit just 3 shot a fighter in full plate xD
COME PLAY ARENA

guys
it does, when axe specialization goes from 3-5 i get that tingly feeling. 3k players, the game is done.
You are lucky that you can even open it
What changes made everyone so mad?
🤓
Is it just my bad luck or is every team in normals on legendary at a minimum
whipe soon every one is running rare-legendary bis
So when +all will be removed from random rolls?
he took the kids in the divorce
You gotta be ready to rock
- clears throat *
"RABBLE RABBLE GAME BAD RABBLE RABBLE"
thank you.
Now the real honesty of the situation is they left nexon after working on p3, hired people to positions pre-formed based off their experience at nexon in the same team format for p3, did not have any game brainstorming sessions as they "already knew what the vision was" and proceeded to make a game in record time with a fresh company that consisted entirely of prior nexon exmployees working in their same positions as they worked on p3. But sure, they didn't steal anything. They just memorized the blueprint.
Then they lacked the confidence to do anything else because they were scared to even publicize the game considering the looming and very loseable lawsuit. Follow this with a quickly growing development team after forfeiting all the money after losing a portion of their case, but despite the growing development team the game barely even crawls in terms of development, despite how quickly it was developed and put together (showcasing how little skill they actually had in developing their own material)
but sure, they didn't steal it. 😉
tbf nexon is well know for stealing code and ideas so i think that they should cease the money grab and just allow a game they wasnt even going to release to be played and enjoyed
I start the game with starting items and people wearing legendary items appear before me. What happened to this game?
not enough players so they removed geared lobbies
free to play players cant go high roller so get good gear and camp normals
Not enough players because their changes lost 80 percent of their playerbase in 40 days. 🙂
High roller is super lame now
Why doesn’t every druid form have a cooldown? similar to sorc spells?
That would just completely "destroy" the play style
But imo druid should just not be in the game to begin with
every transformation is so weak because of shapeshift mastery perk
they can as well just remove this perk and set transformation time to 0
class will need to be reworked in the future
guys i need help migrating my epic games legendary version of the game over to blacksmith , but everytime i try to do it it says faile to connect to server quit the game , i cant even get the migration code , can anyone help me through this?
Guys next wipe will be hype ? or its over
nobody will come back for just a water map.. like in all games every worst level is the water map
We'll see
that time has long passed
according to the ironmace website there is still time till November 2025
contact their support then. they wont get back to you
5 arena game : 1 game 1 mate afk second game 2 squire guy w me, third 2 barb with the skill of a shrimp
i need skull keys but cant find them howww i dont wanna fight litch
In the demon throne room in inferno it spawns on the altar but only in HR
is it always there
Not always
Yeah go there till you find it let us know how many tries it takes
in a chest or where
It'll be just sitting on the top of the stairs on a altar
but, but...the game. It's going to be good soon?
It can spawn in Normals, too
I did not know that, thought it was only HR. Good to know indeed
game will die until 2026
There's also a billion mobs to clear before you can check it unless you invis somehow
Killing the boss is just as fast honestly
There is a guide somewhere on Reddit where you use the Steam game files to trigger the epic version. But I’m pretty sure this does not work anymore and the function to transfer has stopped per the Epic Store.
@glad thunder you bring shame to all of korea
You can just dodge past them all and make a u-turn behind the altar, I do it all the time in HR when I happen to be near the room. Just don't stop and be quick about it and you won't get hit unless you forget to strafe an arrow.
Also, don't forget to make a 2-slot room beforehand!
i wanted to play fighter in arena today, what peices would you guys recommend for me to buy? big budget
A relatively small amount will come back, but leave after they get bored of the map pretty quick. We need new systems, perks, etc, not swimming
the lizard sparky has a video on how to migrate you can watch
I moved my two special edition madrinas DnD sets from display in my room into my attic storage today
RIP
It was time
im sorry for writing this down here but i dont know where else could i get my answers, why the fck do i always spawn in an ongoing match in HR. Like its rly unfair to put me down in frost mount hell where 4 or 5 minutes from the match already gone and the circle going for the other side of the map
Dear developers,
Just my opinion.
I played a lot the season you added the sorcerer. It was great with several lobbies, random dungeons and then circle in HR. What happened to the game... ?
I would get back to the game but:
- there is no single player queue for all map (it's like I can access only 1/3 of content)
- there is no gear capped lobbies (<124, <224)
- content is being removed instead of added (I think I don't need to explain this one).
Having any single map for solo play is just bad in comparison for what it was. Many players play mostly solos... (anyway playing in team isn't the best way to farm quests for instance). And I don't care if other maps are not balanced for solo (except maybe some inferno modules, it was never unplayable for solo).
About gear capped lobbies - it allowed me in past to invest 1k gold to buy kit for <124 lobby, and about 3k for <224 HR lobby. So I didn't have too grind as complete monkey to get semi-competitive kits and have fun. Now without any limit to gear score, I am afraid this is the same as in older seasons with no capped lobbies - it's all or nothing - everyone runs purple/orange gear or nothing because there is no point otherwise. And it is even worse that the end of season. There should be some way to enjoy and play with the gear you found in dungeon without having to grind hours to have top kit.
So the current game state - it is only for completely new players, or top players that spends on ton of time on grinding. What about bad players? 🙂 I already know how the game works but cannot grind hours. Either, I play uncapped lobbies and get destroyed by players grinding every day, or I can follow new-players and enter no PvP worse normal mode version...
I am not sure why did you even introduced adventure mode, that having <25 lobbies (and arena) where players could learn game and combat without relying on special mode for them.

dear sdf, defect to north korea
video or it didnt happen
people honestly still playing this garbage? any comptent person saw this coming 5 wipes ago LOL
how about instead of crying about it. maybe go report them?
what quest give rewards this season lol
aw hell nahhh they did underwater combat
can we have the castle map back
@glad thunder take the servers offline the game is finished
The dungeons are spooky rn, last night I saw a “warlock” controlling npcs lol
yeah a talent tree.. anything man
Does anyone know when the game's legendary status discount will be released?
How's the game looking? How many players are in the dungeon right now?
Enough to get consistently full lobbies on normals at least, save for frost mountain but I've never gotten a full lobby their anyways.
That's not changed I see, how many players are online in the game now tho? 3k?
2 ICE BOLTS TO THE CHEST KILLING FIGHTERS? WHAT IS THIS?
Oh no hahaha
all this fucking game is ranged cringe buff barb already.
barb is hands down 2nd most busted to ranger lol They buff him all the time
stop.
Agreed, they should stop buffing him 👍🏻
barb is so fucking weak stop lying
hahah ok dude
white longsword and you can mow barbs down
move faster or have ranged dmg and they crumble
Yeah, if the barb doesn't know how to avoid parry. It's not that hard.
it's called frannys and achilles
and crazy movement speed buff and enemy move speed nerf. And berserker
barb only getting nerfed last patches
Yeah, some slight nerfs after months of multiple buffs at a time in half the patches. They needed those nerfs.
with all the ranged in the game your wrong
2,330 in the dungeon and 2,148 in lobby.
anyone else think arming sword needs buff?
Considering I haven't seen anyone using it, maybe.
God yes, it’s so laughably bad that pulling it out is a big enough misplay to get you killed
buff windlass crossbows please, i can't 1 shot barbarians
they should allow all casters to move slowly while channeling spells like magic missile. kinda BS that sorcerers can move while casting all their stuff
U are trippin barb is OP lol ragebaiter
if they removed round shield it'd be fine again
club + round shield + 700 hp makes them too strong vs ranged
when is start to new season dark and darker?
i play arming/short slayer or plate dual wield and i get stomped constantly by everyone except druids maybe. I see shield chads but i lose with that too :/
Matching up against all caster feels so awful
Why is it that the general consensus around the flanged mace is that it is complete and utter trash? I really don't get it. It swings substantially faster and after a few glances the swing pattern does not seem all that different from the other one handed mace, the Morning Star.
I mean for crying out loud, the Morning Star is three times the price of a Flanged mace at Epic quality.
Only straight vertical overbead swings are kinda bad, especially vs shield/LS. I also think the hit zones are worse than morning star as morning star has a big ball as its optimal hit zone whereas mace is more likely to hit with shaft
I think because its really easy to parry the 2 quick overhead attacks. I use flanged /short too, LS is an issue but also good jukers/side to side dodgers make it really hard i suspect its dmg activation time during the swing is inferior to morning star without looking it up
Thank you for the detailed responses.
ranger with shotgun back step spear laughs at barb. wizard walks away from barb. warlock can longsword boc curse barb. bard and fighter are better barb. only real things barb kills is sorc and rogue.
No one is arguing that ranger is the most busted class in the game. But guess what? That has nothing to do with the state of barb itself. Barb does NOT need buffs rn, ranger needs nerfs - there's a big difference. You're either delusional or ragebaiting if you genuinely think barb is weak in general.
You can have crazy phys power, insane HP, great movement speed, super high magic resist and good PDR all at the same time on barb. How many other classes can you say that for? Oh, right, none of them.
Collector, Goblin Merchant, Tavern Master, Skeleton
hi. Have not played in a while. I can't find the dungeon, where everyone starts with only grey gear and tries to get out. is it still in the game?
you cant have all that at the same time. two handers are mininmum-30 and max -50. rage gives 7% ms at the cost of 15% pdr. my arena kit is 193 hp while fighters are getting about 10 less health while having better move speed and pdr than me. 30 mdr big woop barbs still getting obliterated by fireball and mm shotgun. this ABSOLUTE LIE that you are telling that they can have everything is part of the reason the game is dying.
No, sorry to tell you
oh 🙁 that's sad. Thanks
PDR works on head ? or only headshot damage reduction from your helmet ?
both
Bro, I'm done with this discussion because you're not making any valid arguments. I've countered every "argument" you've made, barb has built in answers to everything you're complaining about, as I've already pointed out. Just because you don't know how to build/set up the class properly doesn't mean it's weak. You can absolutely have all of that at the same time with the correct build/setup and a high end kit. I've seen it plenty enough to know that's a fact. Also, they have access to several one-handed weapons. They have access to a shield for blocking arrows and spells. Again, there is a solution to all of your complaints - End of discussion.
literally they gotta fix that shit
pretty sure youre argueing with a brick wall
Yeah, that's why I'm done lol
Ha you can cop out if your not intelligent enough thats fine. You cant have speed health and pdr and damage. the tops barbs are getting between 300-308 with hands out in their kits with a ms set switch that lowers all defense for speed. Hush up kiddo.
Yeah ok rage baiter. Get a life.
barb is a Timmy stomper class, class is not op if you know what you’re doing
Fighter always wins because I have 25% projectile reductions with the perk along with higher pdr than anyone, while still having 300 MS 😄 sword mastery w Longsword too and crossbow
ya to many people think their the next faker being able to run and shoot.
Talking about my intelligence and you don't even know the difference between your and you're
bro please work on your grammer, you talk like an actual YN
nah fam im gud
if you want to talk about op then nerf damage over time abilities
their or they're, or to and too XD
nerf the fuck out of ranged damage across board by 50 percent
I never even said it was OP. All I said was it doesn't need buffs and that ranger does need nerfs.
well dont be too stupid now ya hear
faker is actually pretty mid he just moves his camera around a lot
i think theyre fine, maybe Rupture shouldnt scale , and maybe the only real nerf that needs to happen is Druids att scaling is 1.0 when it should be .75, oh and let us swat away zombie farts so they dissipate faster
Yeah, turns out I've been arguing with a 13yo, shame on me ig.
you did make it sound like it’s op, stat wise yeah it’s op but we are melee only soo
yeah that is pretty sad 😄 lmao
thing is I have 48%+ magic resist on Barb and I still lose to casters bc of DOT
because Barb is pretty op man, you got potion chugger along with morale boost, Iron will and a dmg+ms perk Berserker, on paper it sounds broken and with good ass player that shit OP
true and Melt, a lot of wizards are running to counter fighter and barbs especially in Solos Melt+FireMastery is really effective
yeah we got good perks and abilities no doubt
facing 2-3 casters every game in arena it’s dumb lmfao
Well I just said facts, so if it sounded OP to you then idk what to tell you lol. I didn't say it was OP though, I'm just saying it has a ton going for it and that there was a solution to every problem that kid was complaining about. And don't underestimate the power of frannys, especially with achillies. You literally do have a viable ranged option on barb. Even without achillies it still applies a good slow when you hit someone with a franny.
in normal dungeons i see Sorc, Wiz, Warlock so damn much XD so annoying but they are squishy so it balances out ig
all arena is is ranged dmg no barbs in sight
literally my friends are asking whos playing ranger every single game like nerf ranged damage
I see at least 1 barb in every arena match I play and arena is stupid with poor map design and is thus not in any way a good indicator of balance, regardless.
They really need to step it up with arena, especially the maps. They're fumbling so hard.
Forcing 3's team to fight to the death is poor for balance? stop talking please idk how you even set up your computer.
Tell me you don't understand how significant map layout is to playing to certain class's strengths without telling me, kid. JFC, use your brain.
Is solos still not a thing or have they added it back yet?
No you are only highlighting the problem of MS when a class (Barb) cant move fast. Also your lying again about the barb every game i next to never see them stop being so weird.
love that I come back to the game and there is no gear score so just facing fully kitted people as soon as I run into someone, glad to see the game has gotten worse
ya that was not a good change. wish it was squire lobbies again with good loot.
Oh yeah, because you're there in all my matches and know what classes are in my lobbies, right? You can cope and tell me I'm lying all you want but I have not made a single false statement today.
But my bad, I keep forgetting you're literally 12 so I'll be on my way and leave you to it.
lol you in 800 elo? 2k+ barbs dont exist
ya def stupid running into people with only golds in norms and I am over here in all greys. I wish I could say I am suprised
Arena should not exist, -25/-125/+225 should be the meta.
sorc isn’t much of a problem pretty easy to beat if they don’t got like 315+ ms
Or blue, purple and no gs limit
well youre limited on the amount of franny you can bring since barbs need multiple weapons and gear to play in arena
arena is literally the only reason why this game is still alive lol
Yea, because its the less they touched
The Game was waaay better when arena wasnt expected and only 3 queues were on
true
In a simple rotation, that was actually good objectively
Again, when I'm discussing balance, it's certainly not in reference to/the context of arena, that shit is a joke with their garbage ass map designs/choices. But that being said, you can still bring in quite a few frannys since they stack in 2s and if you have good aim and/or achilles then you shouldn't need 50+ of them lol
Dear Ironmace, why can three wizards match make with each other in arena vs three fighters
random matchmaking
I mean that makes sense, three of the lowest MR classes all picking the same class against full wizard team?
Shadows of Chroma Tower playtest is out on steam, and guess what they have on day 1 that Dark and Darker couldn't make in the past 3 years? Yep, that's right a roadmap.
surely we limit druid to 3 animals, or a real proper nerf
Did you just die in goblin caves?
Can't see names tag, is this normal ?
Yes, however when teaming up with randoms using the handshake emote you should be able to still see names above their heads.
so sad to see what this game became
What exactly makes you so sad?
You're being silly. Delete your message and make a report. If that person is indeed, cheating.. Then he will read your mention about him and tone it down to avoid detection.
im not going to record every fucking game for sdf. he can make a half functioning game
You are not an intelligent person.
Them is the worst game, it used to be the best but since SDF doesn’t know how to work with the stolen nexon code he can’t balance anything, only makes things worse
This game makes no money because there are not any new players and I doubt anyone is buying red shards
It is sad to see a beautiful idea ruined
i love how balanced gear score match making is
DAMN MAN I HAVE BEEN PLAYING ARENA FOR 6 HOURS TODAY I MEAN IT WHEN I SAY IT I HAVENT SEEN A MATCH WITHOUT DOUBLE DOUBLE WIZARD OR RANGER WIZARD WHEN WILL WE FINALLY GET A RANGER NERF WHERE THEY CANT JUST 2 SHOT ANYBODY WITH A ST KIT PLSSSS
CANT EVEN USE ENGLISH
skill issue
@void kestrel yea okay then why is it fighter ranger wizard have the highest scores since arena came out
when is wipe ???
because there are currently 17 people playing the game for this semi-semi-wipe. Of those 17, they just happen to play those classes, of course
I would also like to know, I'm going off of the leaderboard season timer in the lobby. However I am not sure as to the validity of the timer.
its sad to see the game that had 40k concurring players 4 months ago, having only 3k at best
@void kestrelim talking about since arena came out not this this one ended I ended up taking a 2 month break from this game but dayum happy about true dmg getting reduced but still nothing has changed rip ranger still can lean into you with shotgun backstep and shot you past your shield and wizard for 2 years now has still been the best melee in the game
Thats the sdf effect
The never ending offseason. Thanks random court dates
The changes that catered to casuals were too little, too late. People got sick of getting stomped by sweats with perfectly optimized gear... At least that's why all my friends quit. No room from progression
I really think barbs are fixed by removing access to round shield
Will I get a game faster if I team up
I’m trying to solo que cause idk anybody that plays this game and I can’t get in a match
Wizard would get fixed if it was removed.
Missles
Genuinely the worst gaming community I’ve ever seen
rust. league of legends. valorant.
And this is worse than all 3 combined that’s saying a lot
Why exactly you are so unhappy though?
Nah I’m happy 😂 I can just go play better games just rip this community it could have been a good game
what games will you play? So I know where to find you 🤣
Brother wizard is the least broken class rn
Im a wiz main druid and barb/fighter are broken in dmg
don't worry, all classes will be removed when the game gets shut down next month
youve very clearly never seen those games before
What do you play
As a Fighter, all I exist to do is hold right click and die 
As a barbarian, all I exist to do is scream and die
What’s your favorite class in dark and darker
The second a wizard starts channeling magic missile I 1 shot them with a windlass
weak. just pull up a shield and reflect everything back at them
How many projectiles does it actually reflect? The description of the skill makes it seem like it only reflects the first projectile. Does it do more than one? I've never tried it for that reason
i think it reflects as many as you can fit into its resetting cooldown
so after the first reflect a timer starts and that resets each time you reflect something
Interesting. I'll have to try it. Does it work with sorc spells as well?
Or even cleric spells
projectile spells
Okay
idk if theyve changed it but thats how i remember it working
It would be cool to reflect curses and like explosions and stuff
They should change it so you can reflect all magic. Just make it do 25% less damage to the original caster
i think it reflects in a random direction
I would love to run down some of these high ms warlocks who only bring curse of pain and sacrifice. I always get whittled down by them while they slam doors in my face and burn through my heals. It's such cheesy gameplay
gun and the wall solves that
Yeah I just suck with crossbow. Also the time it takes to reload crossbow on fighter is insane in some situations. I find it annoying to have to sacrifice so much strength or vigor for that extra 30 dex to make crossbow usable in one on one comp. In teams it's dope even low action speed but when im solo the sorc/wizard gets the kill on me if I don't hit head. It's such a heavily counterable thing. Especially when the fireball/elemental bolt has one shot capability. I always get put down from like 10-20 feet whilst reloading or trying to push for melee. I can also admit ignorance and being overconfident something though. It's a mix of my skill issue and the headshot damage being so high.
Also it's hard to get mdr on fighter beyond like 25-35% without again sacrifices of other stats dex/str/vgr
you shouldn't be crossbowing v. much on a fighter
also, if you have a pulse you shouldn't get hit by elemental bolt unless they tapped you with the ice shock first
trivially easy to dodge elemental bolt
hey fellas are additional physical and additional weapon damage the same?
no
in what way are they different im slow
additional weapon damage only applies to weapon attacks
and is scaled by your physical power
additional physical damage applies to things like caltrops as well and is added on at the end of the damage calculation. so it doesn't scale with physical power
They apply different.
Additional dam= when you hit a shot that = 20 damage it gets set to 22 because +2
True damage= when you hit a shot on head that is 20 damage×200%=40 damage it actually gets set to 44 damage because TRUE damage applies BEFORE any other modifiers.
Additional phys= basically what strength does. It adds to the physical damage bonus % you get.
under 15 str +physical damage is better above 15 str +weapon damage is better
((Base Damage + Weapon/Magical Damage) * Power Bonus) + Additional Damage
what is the diffrence between wyvern normal and hr ?
Also yes what they are saying about being low strength matters alot. For rogue you want true and additional DAMAGE
For classes with more base strength you want additional POWER
The reason being that once you surpass a certain number on strength you gain more damage for wvwry few POWER points as opposed to just having true damage on your weapons.
This is because true damage alswya applies BEFORE any other modifier
If you have high power and your headshot that does 40 damage x 200%=80 damage will still only be 84 if you have true damage.
If you increase your power you get more on the high end
I believe all hunting loot drops in pve even blades and matter from bosses but it's just ABYSMALLY low rates.
so ?
I'm not too sure. I don't do wyvern I've never learned it. I do however think it is just harder to kill with maybe more phases. I've watched people fight it in norms/hr and it doesn't look that much different. Just like other bosses. More hp more action speed more phases. Again though I do not do wyvern so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. As always the best way to figure that out would be to just ask chatgpt or Google it. I'm sure someone somewhere has asked the same
thx
Guys what is the hard counter to a barbarian this season? I like to play sorcerrer but that Iron will that gives them imunity to knock back is really annoying.
the counter to barb. is not being in its range
does anyone know what the "memory of sin" nighmare mummy quest unlocks?
Is this game gonna survive the lawsuit? not updated on the news.
stuff
items like stuff you can find in chests
he alrdy sells legendary though surely the rarity doesnt get better
do you wanna complete every quest?
no but i wanna know what it unlocks and ur not being very descriptive
@ebon grail I do not believe it unlocks anything. You just get the reward of 5 000 gold and 1 000 exp. If you check his quest log, he does not have any other quests. You would usually get them listed bellow and they would be locked. You can try it tho as there will be a semi wipe on the 26th of August If you have too much money.
Is this game still in the murdered piece of shit state? Been gone for a bit, figured I would check in
hold on, why can't I slot gloves on my warlock? is it because it's level 1?
nvm i'm so dumb, dw
I haven't completed this quest yet, but I believe it will allow you to either get more of a selection as to what he offers, or it may make the costs cheaper for things cheaper. Not sure tho.
Here is a link to Wyvern for you to take a look at. The Wyvern gains more health and hits for more dmg. It doesn't state that it is faster, but it sometimes feels like it dives from the sky more in HR. https://darkanddarker.wiki.spellsandguns.com/Frost_Wyvern
so when are sorcerers getting nerfed?
is this game worth playing now?
BEST IT HAS BEEN SINCE PLAYTESTS
Okay Tysm

dead and deader disable the servers already
Who is getting the "Match is still in progress" loop? Is there a fix?
Unfortunately not, I have had it happen on Ice a lot. Just have to wait till the game is over.
See, it doesnt matter the map i do. If i wait a day, ill be able to play one patch, then it goes back to the loop again. Would it be better to try it on the actual launcher instead of steam?
Sent you a DM 
havent played d&d in a while whats the state of the game?
@glad thunder thanks for making dark and darker trash its not bad enough you brought the player base down to 3k players from 30k. might as well give the game to nexon at this point you basically have already.
hell even if you do fix the game next season there will be no players. i understand why jay was so upset when he quit.
Yall ever faced two spell reflecting pavises towards eachother and pong ponged a fireballl back and forth? Pretty funny.
just give it 10 min. you should still have your gear. happened to us earlier too
ZMB.EXE
Check the Steam Charts. There is a slow decline of the player base no doubt. That's every game ever. But the low right now is because most have nothing left to do this season. It will peak back up to 10k+ after wipe
i reinstalled the game after having taken a long break from the game. Is trios the only option to play now? what happened?
Party size is tied to what map you choose at current
where do i go as a new solo player ik the semi semi wipe things coming so im just learning the game for now
dont play the game solo as a new player. play it the intended way. as a trio
is there text chat?
yes
crypts
If your hardstuck on doing solo, play the edge of the map in goblin caves and get used to pve
i might do that im more of a solo person but for now ill follow with the trio
I need a team to help fight bosses or learn how to 😂😂
uh which map has cypts is it the forgotten castle
you can easily play solo crypts and just farm the outside of the map and extract. or use a high mobility class and just run around. If you try and play in random trios it will be chaotic because some will just run off and pvp. Or go for the boss. but there are options.
booooo every way should be the intended way
ye
so even though i play trio it can turn into single got it
dont do this. you wont learn much and will get ran down by other trios that are farming pvp
when was the last time you played? you only play trios? we may be playing different games. I've been playing solo crypts for the last two weeks. I die to trios now and then but far more often I roam the entire map unscathed.
wE nEED mOHR cLIPPYS
and you aint a new player are you? you can clear the pve easier and know the rooms much better hen someone whose new :)
@marble beacon Think they meant for the new player experience, I too run solo crypts, but as an infinite invis creep rogue, a bit different ig
there is a pve mode...... and you can easily learn the pve in the first room you spawn in. I mean the game is similar to early play test just way easier with static extracts and no circle....
just go back to fortnite. you have no idea what your talking about
it's you're* ; if you don't have an argument just say so. no need for insults.
Think they mean a pve mode in general, dosent belong in a more hardcore based extraction games, and i gotta agree, alright I'll stop talking for people
yeah you're idea of a new player experience is horrible. there prob gonna struggle with the pve so having a group to help them is best :)
lol it was 2 new players and a guy who looks to be little more experiance
try and find a squad from here. or from the knights server. should be easier to find people who can help you
uh what i do after dieing i got head shoted before i started msging on here again
do i get revived?
only if your team revives you
playing in a group is a horrible way to learn actually. You end up relying on other people too much and not really learning how to do it yourself. or at least you should be alternating between solo and group play.
playing in a group of people who are actively trying to help new players is one of the best ways to learn how to play at the start :)
ya the sorceror or wizeard is helping by giving the other guy and me tips like the campfire heals full hp while just sitting is slow
God's, I recall when sitting was utilized by everyone, back when standing back up made you lose recoverable health
lol that sounds like fun
EVERYONE
I’m no one’s father so to be clear I’m not trying to tell anyone what to do. …but I beg you ALL. MY BROTHERS(possibly sisters or peoples) PLEASSSEEEE stop playing the game until the wipe happens. Then we hop on and if they make a bunch more dumb decisions then we all go right back to boycotting the game until SDF gets it through his head that we don’t want HIS game. He will make us OUR GAME OR NO GAME!!!
#ourgameornogame
whats wrong with the game?
nothing. people just like complaining
well im waiting for my second match now wish me luck
you sound like a union boss. "our game" is subjective. I doubt any two of us have the same vision at all.
welp i died again ima do solo so i can get quicker matchmaking to learn the attacks better for now
@upbeat elk 
how do i sit lol
"G"
thx was able to handle it this time figure out my warlock stuff though im still confused on it i like it so far
@upbeat elk Right on, when you become competent enough to identify people's classes, be wary of sorcs and Barbs, as a warlock you have a fair time against druids, but those three classes are the top of meta at current
thx
in next wipe, i hope they will fix that you can play duo all maps
thats so bullsihit that you can play only one map as a duo
@late moat Ide say they pretty well have to bring back party size map rotations, specially with water map coming out
is additional weapon damage better than aditional physical damage?
why am i taking constant dmg and the bells just wrong
For weapons with faster attacks - add wep dam , if a weapon has a higher flat damage value and you reach a certain point add phys dam can be better
i think i did some extract thing i went to the next lv or whatever
Goblins use poison weapons, i think is what your referring
Oh, the goblin cave begins to crumble towards the end of raid
Environmental damage
nerf ranger ty
I see your class roles - completely understandable
Yes. Additional Weapon Damage scales with Physical Damage Bonus, while Additional Physical doesn't
Though, it's sorta a marginal difference unless you have a high phys damage value.
For example, if you have 25% physical damage bonus, then your 2 additional weapon damage becomes 2.5 additional weapon damage, or 5 on headshot.
made some progress died but think i can fight most expt archers
Nice!
well im off for the night yall thanks for the help
@upbeat elk Later o7
Hi, I wanted to know when the wipe is happening?
@finite finch A semi wipe on the 26th of August. Whatever that is.
is not 23th ?
Aug 26th semi wipe Sept 23rd actual wipe and beginning of season 7
23th
@finite finch 
get rid of ranger 2 shot longbow and shotgun ability then maybe i come back to the game. just got done with a 2 month break and wizard still is the best melee class. ranger is still two shotting people with longbow and has shotgun a 100hp kill mechanic. that is still bugged out where you can jump into a enemy shield and lean into them with shotgun so a shield cannot block it. for some reason club is dealing more dmg then a two hander. love the time i had with the game but unless if the new wipe actually addresses people using felling axe in your feet as a viable out dps mechanic. ranger longbow dmg and wizards ability to do everything from 50 to 80 dmg staff hits and have spells. a new content drop will never work for the long run people will only end up frustrated. as we veterans all have felt after getting a grasp for the game.
Agreed but the community or the majority of it has asked for specific things to not be added or re added multiple times, that’s what I mean. I don’t think one persons wants matter more then another’s…but when a lot of people have the save opinion on something that out ways the individual. That’s why I didn’t list anything I as an individual want added or removed I just want the devs (mainly sdf) to listen to the majority, that’s all I’m saying.
Hey how do you socket a gem
You go to the goldsmith and click the stat you want to replace once selecting the gear piece
Gem must match the item rarity
ah can yo u buy gem?
ayy wtf happened to the playercount i havnt played in like 4 months?
lmao dipsh*t devs ruin the matchmaking and everyone left nevermind holy sheeet
you can buy gems from the market otherwise you can only get them in dungeon
please dont go around the filter
is it possible to get a unigue item from the wyvern in normal ?
What does the SSF mode that sdf mentioned in the patch notes mean guys?
It means Solo Self Found. So you will only have gear you find in dungeons. No trades
thank you
my pleasure. let me know if you have any other queestions. happy to help
The best way to find gems right now is to find them from pile hoards, easiest accessible one is the one in frost mountain middle module, and the goblin cave boss ones, otherwise there’s a couple in inferno, abyss, etc
Also some hoards with increased loot that are only accessible via items, like the various keys or the mystic gem
As much as I love this game, it’s a shock to me that it’s not dead
The constant back and forth with balancing and fixes consumes so much time. Wish more content, and more life was added to the game before they worry about balancing. Let there be fun mechanics. At the end of the day. That’s what games are about. This isn’t a Esports game. Add more stuff. Give the game life. Then do minor tweaks later
remove cancer circle OR remove continuous dungeon, these two are mutually exclusive features
@inland blade Dude what? are you a troll? Every time a class is OP everyone just spams it.
lmao i forgot this game exists is it still shit guys ?
Depends on who you ask. Just play and figure it out yourself
Is it just me or the arenas really suck? I can't get a match that is balanced. It is either 3:0 or 0:3. Always with players that are unranked.
No idea, I actually had last week several games in a row where we either won 3-2 or lost 2-3. It was pretty enjoyable. Maybe you are just unlucky.
I had different games. Some of them I was destroyed with a zero chance to survive while others you just crash your opponents. Some games were really sweaty where it was an equal match.
hero abilities like phantomize, or fighters second wind or shield block etc. Can you increase speed with which hero activates them?
As in cool down time, or actually pressing the button and the time it takes to activate?
pressing the button and time it takes to activate 🙂
I would argue not? Though if anything i'd say dex possibly
west coast arena dead? or is everyone in premades? ive been searching for 20 minutes
NA dead too. Just got one after 3 rounds of 4 min queues
is it possible to get a unigue item from the wyvern in normal ?
tyvm for asnwering
Can't wait for the semi-semi-semi semiwipe
yes
i really dont know how that cancer is back circle the ,entering a late hr dungeon but this people have no clue
this hurt me to read
Circle in HR is BiS
i miss jaygriffyuh content but SDF sharted all over the game so he left.
oh no 1 less clout demon
sucks to suck i guess Bauble
anyone else bored with this game
So let me get this straight,
we'll have two weeks at the start of the wipe with no market between players, and two weeks of market, after which the wipe will end?
*semi semi wipe
So, the game, really, this season will only last two weeks.
idek man i dont play no more discord just opens to this channel haha
the game is cooked, i just got killed by a team full unique and artefact in normal bro
can't even play with " normals " people
cause the game is paytowin
yeah, a semi semi wipe
i hope they will cook with the new map and big patch note i hope
I would just like a wipe (with market available) that lasts more than two weeks.
The game set up like this is really worth abandoning.
it's just a way to push the map one month later
anyone else having trouble connecting to lobby or is it just me /edit, steam EU
solo que players in arena still going into premade teams this shit was supposed to be fixed @glad thunder riposte bugged morale boost bugged game only half fucking works
I have an idea for the game. When you kill a miniboss you should get a temporary buff. Could be something like health regen or burning enemies on hit. This way there's an incentive to kill minibosses when you are looking for PVP. What do you think
@glad thunder
how do i block with longsword? wats the keybind i forgot
M2
huh
like a 2 move swings
r u using a zweihander or longsoy then
zweihander
zweihander cant block
wait its not the same? oh ok thank you
oh btw is the server down?
i keep getting "cant connect to server"
How come every time i turn my back the Devs remove solo play?
bro how fucking bad is the felling axe, not even beating LS m1 dps race
cant connect to game
try restarting the game
its good you just have to headshot people
the 6k people who left two months ago
7k*
is play count any better ik it was only 2400?
Usually sits around 5k ish mid day. Hopefully they make good changes for this wipe and bring some people in
we still got solos? or they remove it again
Honestly I’m not even sure I don’t play solos always in a duo or trio
Last I heard goblin caves was for solo only
Go semi semi wipe
are you trying to say its gone after semi semi wipe?
I'm saying ur poopy
only for your buttthole
what tge fuck is wrong with servers
They are in chinese sewers owned by tencent.
Hey, what are the requirements to enter the high roll dungeons?
i pity people who still play this game lol
none lol
It tells me I have to be level 20, which I am, and it won't let me in.
oh yeah just that and 100 gold
Finally a game so i can quit this dnd thank you ironmace for the last years
bis players in normally lobbies sure is fun....
that is the qoute?
why is the game dead now?
Because it's shit
it's like exactly how it was in the playtests now it's way better than when it had 36 queues of MMR
its not :)
when I read sdfs kitchen, i still dont see "Oh I read all suggestions from community, thank you guys"
cause most of the shit people suggest. is literal shit
There is shitload of goood suggestions.
Im not counting those one word/sentence suggestions tho, but more detailed specified.. those ppl made some brainstorming work to write that atleast.
they arent able to sort between good and bad suggestions they have no critical thinking
tons of trash was implimented from communties ideas
All I want is pickpocket+lockpick merge and Pickaxe could break ice,wood etc for my rogue

yes and someone at ironmace is prob reading them and pushing up the good ones
random thought while chillin lmao i wish i could bring purses/pouches into PvE lol but thats only a hope for next season
Do you need to have the legendary pass?
So where is the new contents for the game?
im playing online magic game called Eternal and the enemy has 2 mana left after casting all this stuff and about to pass turn. im about to lose or win but get 1 more turn. he proceeds to play a 6 mana spell from his deck not hand somehow that kills all my stuff so i have to watch replay of turn cuz like literally how CHEATER and then after my replay game said my turn timer was done LOL and ended my turn..... wtf mannnnnnnnnnn
Is the game worth playing right now?
Wait for wipe, no point rushing game now, unless you are insterested only in pvp
i cant connect to game now
What’s your error
i go to next floor and loading so long
heard appreciate it 🙏
me and my friend
could someone give me a free 1k to snowball off of? any profits will be given back to you
@drifting wyvern sure, but I need 2k from you first. Don't worry, any profits will be given back to you.
sir yes sir 
This happens sometimes, idk why pray it gets fixed soon
rogue should be able to pick locks normally and ranger should have it as a perk.
makes the most sense tbh.
are they gonna bring back gear score for lobbies?
it would be hard because itd open up too many sessions at that point and if that happens there would be too few people in each game consdiering theres a ppplayer base of no more than 6k at a time right now
Actually a high number for it being end of wipe lowk
Common trend with end of wipe player counts, would have to wait till new semi wipe drops to see accurate engagement counts
no it isnt lol 6 months ago this game had over 10k playing its actually avging around 4k and has ALL wipe buddy i no life this game dont try and tell me lol@sand sedge
i have a total of over 700 character levels between all classes this wipe alone and it has had the same people playing all wipe numbers have stayed between 3k and 4.5k all wipe. so no it isnt just because end of wipe
games just in its worst state of all time and only people who actually love this game will play it in the terrible state its in.
this game once had 60k people playing at the same time no its lucky to hit 4k lol
BRAAAAPPPP....
Can somebody please tell what do I need for the 3 skeleton quests for the 2nd cake?
SDF: We have gone through many trials and errors amidst rapid development and countless experiments.
how many times is bro going to talk about mistakes being because of "rapid development" like he hasn't been steering the ship this whole time. More like rapid lever throwing, I'd hardly call any of the flip flop changes "development"
i'd rather have 4k with 1 queue than 10k with 36 queues it's real simple why the game is a thousand times better now
You need to have 30 bones (does not need to be looted), survive 3 times in each map, and then 10 intact skulls (must be looted).
Thank you Sir.
Pre wipe pre season 6 avg player count was 5k
Same with season 5.
Go figure, pre-pre wipe considering variables given would be lower

Lie, season 5 actually did average 10k that is my bad for false information I just looked it up
5k still less than 10% of highest player base ever. games at its lowest point and you proved my pointp@sand sedge
and yeah i was talking aBOUT THAT SEASON WHEN I SAID 10K
whoops caps lol
Season 6 was one of the games higher points, averaging about 30k players
Mainly because it’s a prelude to the actual season
Game wasn’t ever gonna even reach 10k for having a semi wipe let alone a semi semi wipe
Player counts will inevitably increase for the HR season for semi-semi but not by much

We have to wait until post content drops to see what the playerbase really looks like and who stuck
That’s the only time you really get accurate variables
Everytime a season drops it’s a high then a steady decrease until the next season
Anyone else having issues with the game connecting?
????
More hearts on his last post than funny man emojis, the world is healing.
Playing base kit bard in HR feels good i hope every class can feel somewhat like that
yeah i got the same idk what happen
Using the Blacksmith loader?
we went under 2k players and he still belives in HAPPY ENVIROMENT where solos can take trios ? he has to be mental at this point
dont forget people steamhacking each other to play like duo on goblins
Did you read what he said? He understands that's not really likely so solos and duos on all maps will return.
Although I did 1v3 on rogue when random mods were removed against a team of juicers in gobbo caves.
First, let me once again summarize the original vision. The original vision is to create a combat environment where parties of various sizes and goals can naturally coexist
u ok ?
Original vision, the vision has changed?
first lines of text
btw how's the name of the violet rapier ? i forget it if anyone know it
And he goes onto explaining that that's not really a common occurrence or likely, so he understands that there needs to be a separation
Someone out there surely is a game dev. Please make Better Dark and Darker so we can all stop whining.
Also remove pve from arena ty
🧀 
so original vision is from 3 years when game started, just changed ? why even talk about ORIGINAL VISION if it was 180 degree change ?

Admitting you're wrong and changing your stance is a showcase of humility

mmmmh pve in arena isnt a big problem, like you need to get a good gear to get it and the mobs are at their weakness kind
btw, it IS not WAS, so keep copium he still belives
Translation issue?
Yeahhhh there are definitely some arenas where it's annoying. Also most maps are wide open so as soon as you walk out your spawn a ranger has shots on you while you are clearing pve lol. Remove pve and problem solved
only english speaker i guess huh ?
He hopes his original vision is still possible, he's accepting he's not going to get there with shortcuts.
so exactly what i said first ?
From how the game has developed, 1v3ing is something that can happen and does. Something that would've taken a full true damage catice level build in the prior season
So the original vision is definitely possible, gear gaps just make that unlikely for casuals, which he accepts
People want gear gaps, they're far less than last season and I hope they keep trimming them down
hello. im new to the game but im confused about something. watched a video of a guy running out of time in the dungeon, then went to fight the wyvern and was given more time. do you get a new timer when you go to the boss areas?
xddddddddd yes yes, 90% ppl quiting the game were just wrong, u and adf are right, we just dont see the vision
Did he jump further into the abyss before time ran out?
no, you get "more time" when you go down to a different map
yes
Maybe it was a spliced clip or he went further into the dungeon, giving you a refreshed timer on a new floor.
If he went from the first floor of the ice caves to the second one, you start in a new lobby when you reach the second map
so new floors mean more time
yes
Yup
hmm. i havent seen how to access other floors yet
a full cripts run, Ruins into castle into inferno is like 45 minutes
dang. idk how to access other floors
goblin caves is only 1 map, ice caves has 2 maps, ruins has 3 maps.
do we know what gives most EXP and what doesnt? Like does it matter more how many mobs i kill or how much loot I gather?
on ice caves you have to jump down on 2 specific modules, on ruins you get the stairs going down with red glow
also in high roller red portals also spawn
true, but nobody plays HR
interesting. thanks for the info
Mobs give exp per kill, but the most experience comes from loot, you want to prioritize small sized gear and lootable trinkets because the experience is per item and rarity, not slot size.
So single 1x1 items of higher rarity give the best experience values
Stackable gems are peak for exp
And of course questing along the way
Restarted the loader and it connected just fine.
tyvm, how about portals, do they still give a lot of exp? opening them that is, or using altars/shrines
I think they give like 3/5 Exp per portal
You get some decent exp for opening large lion/golden chests
So the idea and result of an “extreme” gear gap, was to make htk time so low that gear wouldn’t matter and you still had a chance to win outnumbered fights in the case of your teammate dying, when you acknowledge your gear as a core gameplay value 👍
instead of just making htk time much much longer, and having the same result, while keeping the fight engaging in a meaningful way 😭
Is the game good again yet? Played a few years ago
Yeah if everyone dies in 2-4 hits gear only makes you take like 1-2 more hits usually even in the best gear
why does arena close?
Screw you whoever is the ImproverishedSerf
Literally makes no sense, his statements just contradict themselves every time
like just make the frontlines tanky and have very little access to damage, and make the damage deals do damage and restrict them from being tanky via rolls on gear
but hes so impoverished
I just read the last patch since it's been a while since I've played but I like the idea of giving solo duo reasons to go into trio dungeons like make your stuff sell for higher for going into trio would be cool but that would cause solo loot goblins lol
Idk about all that tanks being slow and bulky just turns them into pin cushions in solo play.
There needs to be some enjoyable reason to play a tankier class outside of not dying quickly and instead over 30-60 seconds of kiting
they can still be fast and bulky, damage should be equalized based on ur class, and I don’t think most classes should have access to damage modifiers.
Everyone dealing good damage means nobody is unkillable
And if your damage dealers die, you're left with nothing but sustain and bulk
Yeah I could see that getting out of hand
I think reducing damage modifiers would be a good idea
Sustain applies to both classes. A damage dealer can sustain way less damage than a tank obviously, which means u can equalize values so both have the same ttk to each other
Everyone deals damage without them anyway
yessirrr i just lost 7k kit cus game client randomly terminated
I'm happy they removed true damage rolls from everything besides weapons, that was a W change.
Preseason is a rough example, but u could get a 80% pdr fighter and tank 80 hits, but u didn’t deal good dmg and it took a while to kill anyone, meanwhile rangers where always like 1-3 shot but could do great damage, wizards too
Yeah survival bow rangers with +11 true damage were broken
maybe not 80 hits like 20 lol
Nobody ran surv bow ranger back then, cuz meta wasn’t formed yet
but yea true dmg should be limited or taken away
defeats the purpose of building into resistance
That’s why HP is always prioritized over any other defensive stat nowadays
Back then tho it was not funny enough
if i have true phys on my lantern (not the shield) does it add it onto my sword?
During the Playtests I got one shot by a longbow ranger as a cleric from a chest shot, the meta wasnt fully figured out besides a few elite players.
anything wrong with norm? I've been waitting 7 mintues, no game?
Do you have fill team selected?
I've been waiting 12 in duo
Could be a server issue
couple last match was very fast, now waiting time is long
player base is so abysmally small now that you'll be fighting the same 10 dudes in duos all day lol
i cant see the name of my friends in game?
can anyone explain me the quest from the tailor "hold the four route" like do i need to stay 3 minutes in the room ?
Yes
will they ever add a report for trolling/afk teammates for arena? its ridiculous that I have to wait 2 minutes to get qued up with the same cleric 3 games in a row who smacks his teammates at spawn, talks crap then afks.
Only to encounter a ranger who also had the same issue with the same guy. "report for teaming?!?" makes no sense
all the "hold" quests are pretty much the same. Go to the location. stand there until it shows complete, scurry off.
they changed it so the only way you can see names of teammates is through random matchmaking. Otherwise you have to use game sense and keep track of them. Some things that can help are 1. Sash (lol) 2. know what your buddies are wearing gear wise, eg a hounskull helmet with leather leggings.
thx
we know actual date of semi semi wipe ?
"On August 26, we will be doing a ‘Semi-Semi-Wipe’ which will commence a super condensed mini-season known as ‘EA Season 6.9'."
thanks
EVERYONE
I’m no one’s father so to be clear I’m not trying to tell anyone what to do. …but I beg you ALL. MY BROTHERS(possibly sisters or peoples) PLEASSSEEEE stop playing the game until the wipe happens. Then we hop on and if they make a bunch more dumb decisions then we all go right back to boycotting the game until SDF gets it through his head that we don’t want HIS game. He will make us OUR GAME OR NO GAME!!!
#ourgameornogame
everyone already did this and we arent coing back either
Can old rusty keys drop named items or is it just a pile room? ive never used one.
i want his game. i don't want what a bunch of random crybabies in the discord want.
guys can somebody help me why im stuck on the connecting screen ???? help pls
im stuck too
why? the game its off or som?
Nexon won, game shut down
idk i whent to hell in pve and now im stuck
yeah this community is very split "listen to the community" isnt it for this game or anything really if you cant make a critical analysis of what is a good or bad opinion
if 80 percent of your playerbase is a serial enjoyer of solos/duos, and you as the lead developer/ceo portray those stats on stream based off your own analytics, and publically acknowledge that's what a majority of your players are enjoying.... and your next action was to remove those two game modes, it's no long about 'critical analysis' or opinion, it makes zero sense.
solo duos is only one part of the problem if they reversed that issue the game would still have tons of issues
I'm still convinced the goal was to tank the playerbase during the finale of this court case so that they could argue the state of future profits and not be hit with as large a penalty if they lose.
I disagree, removing 80 percent of the playerbase in 30 days is the largest problem.
sdf was pushed to the point he felt like he had to do some insane choice to save the game that needs to be acknowledged
when will sorcerer stop freezing people in place?
W SDF after 124 Ls
upvote
cc + low TTK is too strong
I think sorcs frost lighting wouldn't be as much of an issue if they buffed Wills debuff duration scaling and or buffed the debuff duration rolls to previous levels.
2 seconds of freeze is strong but .75-1 second of freeze isn't as impactful
SDF's vision getting one shotted in the head by a barb with a club. FUN!!
SDF vision is letting someone you killed whisper the whole lobby to team on you
Still waiting for squire gear in norms
5 people chasing me yelling my name... good fun
sdf's only vision at this point is not getting btfo by Nexon in court
what is whisper? How does it work?
you press /w persons name and you can whisper them
Sdf needs glasses 🤓
what do you mean whisper them
send them a message only they see
in game
people will die to someone with gear and whisper everybody else in the lobby and tell them you are juiced
how do they know who is in the lobby
spectate
the guy who did it even said "lets see how this plays out" as 5 people side by side chase me yelling my name.
whats command to stop whispering to that person. it makes all chats goto that person
just press enter with no text in box
thank you!
np
GIVE US BACK NAME TAGS THE DARK WILL ALWAYS GET DARKER BUT IDK ABOUT THIS ONE MY TEAM KEEPS KILLING EACHOTHER BUT ILL TRUST I GUESS
when will the next wipe be lads?
soon
september 23
Semi semi wipe is on this months 23 I think maybe
But... Ew
😂😂 true
bet tnx
August 26th is semi wipe
semi semi wipe*
😂🙌🏼
semi wipe²
get rid of ranger 2 shot longbow and shotgun ability then maybe i come back to the game. just got done with a 2 month break and wizard still is the best melee class. ranger is still two shotting people with longbow and has shotgun a 100hp kill mechanic. that is still bugged out where you can jump into a enemy shield and lean into them with shotgun so a shield cannot block it. for some reason club is dealing more dmg then a two hander. love the time i had with the game but unless if the new wipe actually addresses people using felling axe in your feet as a viable out dps mechanic. ranger longbow dmg and wizards ability to do everything from 50 to 80 dmg staff hits and have spells. a new content drop will never work for the long run people will only end up frustrated. as we veterans all have felt after getting a grasp for the game.
im hearing alot of skill issue ngl
Holy @glad thunder how does youe team work for this long on something. Your water combat looks terrible
anyone know what error code 20 is? blacksmith launcher
semi² wipe
lets duo
makes a lot of sense, and if its true i forgive them
Good day, fine fellow, how art thou on this fine day?
Swimming is a completely insignificant addition to the game. Add classes, smarter mobs, bosses, and multiple ways to play classes or choose gear for different builds. But they're full committed to this swimming nonsense so God help um 🤦♂️
but the banana hammock cosmetics that come with beach episode
Maybe there's hope
❤️
what's the point of playing high roller right now ?
I hate that whenever I come back to play the game meta is completely different and I always get steam rolled can't ever play this game casually
just go high roller, all the ppl trying to pvp are in normals
Avoid mega juicers at every corner, i play base kit/ SSF bard in HR its pretty fun
so it's just inverted lol got it
You don’t want to swim in full plate and get 2 tapped by longbow ranger? It makes so much sense for the dungeon extraction game.
It isnt if the water has anti fire magic/ projectile properties
Ah ok cool so a very annoying limitation for only some of the classes the design is very human
Realistically we all know swimming will just be DaD but drowning & maybe no fire spells... cool that should bring everyone back
Like double jump spots/ electric dash already exists ye
Druid rat jump
link sdf-kichen pls <33333
whos better solo class right now sorc or ranger
@scarlet wharf <33

Balanced Gear Impact: Gear should not excessively determine victory or defeat. then whats the point of farming gear lmao stupid ass point
new cake emote W
its ass
"excessivley" so he means like gear matters to some degree, but if your opponent lands more headshots than you, you should still lose
I do like the sparkler sound
yeah i just want them to add playing cards, not just "cards" imagine mini games in the lobby
i 2nd this idea
nah. lemme spin my shield around
a weapon emote would be sick
like spinning it or doing a flip and stuff
weapon emotes +1
w ideas
Are the different races ppl have coming from buying the full version?
fix goblin mage hitbox for chicken peck attack :(
their heads are invincible I hate biting ankles
scroll of forgotten knowledge, is it possible to find it like ever?`and if so, where?
Royal coffins
Does the old rusty key room drop artifacts?
sdf why even type in the kitchen if your not going to say anythingworthwhile?
HOW DO I SEE SDF KITCHEN CHAT
THANKS MEGA CHAD

Hey , i haven't read the last few patch notes. Is it normal that i can't see the nameplate of my mate in the castle? We are tagging in duo without fill.
Yes that's normal if you don't have a fill/invite someone in the dungeon
sdf is klling the playerbase one shitty decision at a time.
Sorry you think that.
Game numebrs support my opinion.
well not really, the number are going down, but the dev never expected to reach the numbers they did, they only ever watned to reach 3k players and they are still sitting at 3k - 5k atm so i think they are donig good.
Keep coping bud. Numbers are lowest ive seen and they keep dropping after all the reverts and terrible changes.
None of it is cope, its real comments from the devs, and even at the end of wipe and 4 or 5 months into a wipe there is still 5k players peaking on a good time of day, the game will be fine. ive seen worse things happen. we all have opinions and you rather think a game is dying then see what is still good in it. and that is your opinion.
Unfortunately our all time low is about 1400 players. The game is still double those as of now. And have been fluxuating between 2x-3x
little under 4k with arena going and you think this is fine? ive seen the numbers around 50k but this is good? cope and coper is more your game pal.
Hello , im New to the game
watch the numbers dwindle in literally 5 minutes. Your handler not keeping arena open 24/7 is also to blame for this.
Just leave you dont want any of this man.
Oh , i hope i get a hello at least
Welcome! What classes have you been enjoying?
dont mind him, hope you are enjoying the game.
on the bright side, the game is rock bottom so there's no where to go but up from here
What im telling you is for your own good.
I tryied fighter but i dont like it a lot im thinking about play warlock
and yes for the state that the game is in now its a good number to be holding even at 4k players.
Are you looking for a ranged or melee? or hybrid?
Numbers so good your handler decided to make less ques and get rid of solo/duo/trio in each map? cope.
I dont really Know
solo duos were never in the game in the 1st place, so that is far from cope.
Warlock is hybrid i like the playstyle
Warlock is a good one to learn on with phantomize as an escape and using Immortal perk to learn the spells withough dying due to casting too much at low health
but solos and duos are still in the game, so not sure where you are coming form with that one.
I will heal to torture máster , vampire and curse
Thats false and incorrect. We have been able to solo/duo/trio any map until recently for a pretty long time. go check patch notes instead of saying positive lies for your handler.
I saw a little info about the class because some ppl said me is Hard to learn
cope and coper from mods is priceless.
He's referencing the Alpha and playtests when we only had trios. It was like that for a while
ive been here since the 1st month of the discord being here my man, i have read all the patches, solo and duos were never a thing till "My Handler" gave into the community wanting solos and duos.
thanks for trying to help me out though.
I tried the game a few years ago but it didn't convince me because everything was paid, highroll paid, more characters, paying, more inventory space paid, it seemed absurd to me
And obviously market paid too
Ya and now there are less ques because of numbers bud. Your handler is to blame. You taking up for him is also negatively impacting the game.
less ques so lobbies are full, i like that ngl.
i think i handle my self pretty good to thanks! @vocal vine
Again Less people is bad. More people good. Less copium.
How are you even arguing my point when more people is more money for devs?
I mean not statistically true. Quality over quantity is never an absolute negative
Because more people doesn't always equal more money here. The game has a F2P version
players are playing, doesn't matter if it is less or more, i rather have a 4k core players that love the game no matter what happens then this.
Less people. Less money. You are actually unable to do math if less people buy stupid shit for the game.
Im s/sing this shit for when they do a documentary on the fuck ups of sdf and staff this shit is gold.
IDK. I think my math is pretty good if I can guess that people who play for free probably also won't buy cosmetics in the game
You think wardens are a problem?
You dont?
No lol what issue do you have
i am to nice T_T
This community is a cesspool the moderation is nice at times
I’ve been banned twice but both deserved lmao
I am not about to read whatever paragraph you’re typing lmao see ya later
Have you read what these guys are typing? They think better quality of this game which is in the dumps means more money when less people are logging in. THats not good business or correct in any shape form or fashion. Take a look at games that are good like baldurs gate 3 or skyrim where people are still buying that shit even after next to no updates for so long. Meanwhile we have these guys handler reverting the game and semi wiping every time we turn around with horrible changes that still make this game longbow and bower.
And while sdf is making those changes they are yes manning the shit out of sdf. Its not good at all.
Just give it time though negative opinions usually result in bans so while the game is shit i wish all of you the best.
well i hope things get better for you man
I haven't actually written my opinion of the state of the game. I've only corrected certain parts of the commentary. Happy to chat about what i think needs to change though. I have a solid vision of what the game could be
Cleric's everywhere
is arena still open rn
not sure ngl
glock preachin tbh
IDK he gave me cleric which brings me immense joy and fun
Y dont they js kjepp it open bro its like sm of the playerbasew
Because sdf hates fun. Literally only reason.
Does anyone know where the Scroll of Forgotten knowledge is for the mummy quest?
is there a way to get legendary discounted a smidgen? im legit missing 2 dollars and its driving me crazy
you will find them in the 1st part of ruins
Trios duos and solo is back
But we still should remove the Swarm Beetles
Where?
all i know, is they are on the book shelfs in the ruins, and they have chances to spawn
A question, why did I try to play with a friend before and it won't let me select the goblin cave on normal difficulty?
Is solo back? I might start playing this game again if Solo queue is back and we don't have to deal with groups.
They’ve made each map a set team size sadly. Goblin caves is solo player teams only as of now
does anyone know when the next wipe is going to happen?
5

semi wipe aug 26 and actual wipe september 20 something
nerf druid
Actually it’s just 5
I have a question: if I drink a protection potion without a potion jugger, will it last a long time? But if I drink it with potion jugger, does the value take 2 or is it the same strength and just lasts shorter?
it def lasts less time idk about strength of it
Don’t wanna talk about it
do you guys understand a single word SDF is trying to say?
what is best rogue or warlock
Ranger
hes talking without saying anything meaningful. turd and turder at its finest
ok but rogue or warlock
Neither one of those is ranger soooooo
ok but rogue or warlock
Ranger
ok so rogue im right?
Nope ranger.
rogue ? ok thx so much
hey can yall go ahead and fire arena back up plz?
tired of turning off the game every week until thursday
SOME one have a problem like me my game freez when i hit a player or a mob
how is there still people teaming in every game???
if the shit will wipe, in 6 days why the fuck would they not keep arena open until wipe
make it make sense
i would say they stick to their principals of making people hate them

"We developed rapidly" & "fast-paced development environment" gave me a chuckle. The quiver remembers.
Translation, we will continue to mess up our game.
It feels like forever ago that the playtests happened, when the game was actually good.
I will forever scratch my head why they strayed away from what worked and had people addicted and wanting more.
newer classes than the originals still don't fit very well in the game even after all this time testing
thank you, also swat away farts so they go away faster
i finally find a game i enjoy and i hear its getting shut down
While I agree mostly with this, it's less on the new classes and more so the fact that they haven't updated anything for the old classes aside from small balance patches (that end up flip flopped anyways). Perks and skills need added or at least update the old ones to make the more relevant.
But don't worry, they added Swimming and Zip-lines, core features this game has been missing... 🙄
“I could have won against that Druid if only I aimed better at hitting that microscopic rat in the shadows” … ahh hope 😂
anyone here wanna party?
