gib barb dual wield two handers already >:( i wanna swing around 2 war mauls for max bonking power

[warm fable]

Chyunkus can you explain what does it mean

Is it class rework or Dungeon improvement?

[unreal garnet]

its nothing

[warm fable]

Also who is that other monkey

[vale oar]

My evil twin, Bungus

[swift coral]

he got too close to the content, he fucked with something, I just can't prove it yet

[vale oar]

It could mean a couple of things but I don't know for certain

[warm fable]

You stoped typing
You know something

[swift coral]

he forgot he was supposed to be ignoring specifically you

[warm fable]

💯

[unreal garnet]

theres nothing to know, graysun just yipping

[vale oar]

Technically I know nothing for the next 2 weeks

But you'll see me around

[cosmic nimbus]

how long till they rework druid still just an overall busted and annoying class

[unreal garnet]

never. SDF is regretting jumping ship from nexon and decided to just ride the scuffed druid to the end

[warm fable]

Technically

Understandable

[jovial portal]

just packing a druid in gc and he just rats and full heals in 2 seconds 4 times sdf is a fcking rtarde

[cosmic nimbus]

it just needs an change even healing druid crazy it can out heal a cleric 2 times over

[swift coral]

alright then, keep your secrets

[errant isle]

People are really out here taking reds while in squire the moment they take damage.

[cyan monolith]

ur trolling bro 😂

[warm fable]

🚪

[swift coral]

you chasing down squire timmies?

I'd hit a red too

[signal creek]

what he prlly means is red camping is cringe af which all player agree with

[swift coral]

I agree with that, but he specifically mentioned people taking reds while in squire the moment they take damage,
Don't know why you're speaking for him also

Reds are certainly an issue, but so are pubstompers imo
& reds are the only solace away from that, if you're going in at a gear & gold disadvantage

[signal creek]

i mean if ur cchasing squires thats defo a you problem for sure lol, i think red ports should have an interact time even if its just a few seconds to open

[swift coral]

I agree with both of these statements

[signal creek]

having an out as an option is nice but being able to insta take is cringe imo

[signal creek]

[swift coral]

yeah,
Just said what I said to point out, solve one issue, make another worse.

I assume it's hard to find a solution that fits in addressing both issues

[signal creek]

i think potentally static reds but you have to interact with the gate or smth

[swift coral]

Make red portals timed interacts - solves people running away

well now no timmy could ever run away from a pubstomper

see what I mean, when I say solving one issue makes another worse?

[signal creek]

hundred percent agree its a touch one

[swift coral]

for sure, am glad I'm not tasked with fixing it haha

[signal creek]

the solution is to buff druid

and crow play

[swift coral]

🔥 you're hired

[signal creek]

ty papi

[unreal garnet]

add crow form

[signal creek]

get this man a job

[bronze steeple]

we need a notification when we get a friend inv

[unreal garnet]

imagine they rat your loot and then just float above your face mocking you, they dont even need to escape 🤣

add summoning spell to wizard but they summon an enemy druid from queue in random animal form

and they stay as an enemy druid, of course

i mean yeah... wtf do they even have feet for rn?

[turbid elbow]

what does hardcore arena means? when you lose byebye gear? thanks

• dual wield
• throw weapon

warlock

• new way of healing

druid

• plague spell

[cyan monolith]

how u know warlock new way of healing

[turbid elbow]

i'm mostly hyped for the wizard animate guardian spell; you'll be able to assemble your guardian putting gear on the ground and hitting spell to assemble it onto guardian; that will go hard, build your party sim

[warm fable]

its obvious

[unreal garnet]

he made up all of that

[unreal garnet]

"throw weapon" oh so you just like, throw your bloodthirst at them?🤣

[turbid elbow]

yep, if you land hit, it goes in the guys inventory, W risk/reward

[cyan monolith]

true

[viral creek]

hey gang what’s yalls favorite weapon in elden ring? mine is the axe of godrick

#sdfs-kitchen message

"For example, the Barbarian might gain a skill that allows them to throw their weapon, or a perk that lets them wield a two-handed weapon in each hand."
you gotta accept the vision boss

nah wait the Squirrelbrain thought they were gonna be able to come out with monk next season?? the kitchen is in hellflames

[bronze geyser]

what boss currently drops pp?

[wary anchor]

patchnotes leaked season 8
ratform had been removed
squirrelform has been added, its as big as ratform so u can doorhop AND u can climb walls
squirrelform has the old ratform ability, giving you 10% movespeed

[cyan monolith]

he said its an idea

reading comprehension, bud

[onyx lotus]

this made me laugh

i'm the best

[warm fable]

druid might get bird transformation
and bird perk

[onyx lotus]

just remove druid class and add monk

[final monolith]

remove druid for one season, maybe we shoot back to 30k then we rethink everything

[warm fable]

-2k because you removed druid

[final monolith]

-2k+25k ill take that trade

[warm fable]

+25k maybe in your dreams

[final monolith]

u get druid bird brain transformation from which of ur parents

we were at 30k concurrent right before druid release, think what you will

[warm fable]

it was druid's fault since season 1

[final monolith]

100 to 35k was normal prealpha new game hype to stable playerbase but then we lost everything around patch 68

im just stating facts at this point take a chill pill

[warm fable]

the vision never happened

[unreal garnet]

pls bird perk pls fr i want bird form so bad, so instead of druid ratting and escaping, they rat and just float above your head mocking you, waiting for more. please just put the nail in the coffin and release all from this psychological experiment

[unreal garnet]

hey man, some people want a game that is generally good and attracts players, some people want a game that lets them play as a druid in its current state. to each their own

[molten iris]

fighter is broken

[brittle oasis]

yes it did twice no gear all in one lobby.. lol sdf is just incredible

[warm fable]

why bird perk you might ask
because druid already has 2 bird transformations in his kit

[tawny robin]

did epic remove the game from everyone?

because i had the game when they made the dlc free now its gone

[vapid trout]

these full unique and artifact players have no reason to run to a corner module with 0 loot, that im just chilling in

[slate hawk]

Are you reporting them via the in-game system and on the IM website, providing as much evidence as possible?
I ask because many people complain, but don't take the time to properly report.

[vapid trout]

i always report the ESP clowns

[alpine coyote]

people who cant kill druids are just bad at the game

[warm fable]

Unfortunately, when population is low, they might be using "legal ESP" - they queue at same time with friends, friends insta kill and spectate...

all druid fault, nothing else.

that's improvement

[torpid vessel]

at any chance

only thing i flame devs for is druid

not true

[gaunt oracle]

druid is so fun tho. meow bawk rawr

[final monolith]

fishu ive talked to so many druid mains, since its release. None could even acknoledge the problem in their disengage ability. druids are like austriches with their heads in the sand

[warm fable]

[gaunt oracle]

buff entangling vines

[final monolith]

not a single druid said <<yeah its op i can just avoid any fight>>

[warm fable]

bad class design

[torpid vessel]

yup

[final monolith]

yeah worse kind of class design you could think of in a game where positioning is so important

[torpid vessel]

and they made the water map with no doors to buff new classes

aint no other class have any movement at all

[final monolith]

water map was just sdf that wanted to roleplay as a penguin swimming, very speicifickink

[late oxide]

Is there any chance that crypts will be back as the first layer in the future?

[final monolith]

man i miss pt 3

[torpid vessel]

i just want goblin 2

[tawny robin]

bum ass game

[gaunt oracle]

buff entangling vines tho

[warm fable]

buff rat form

The Rat's plague effect now ticks every 3s dealing 2 Dark Magical Base Damage over 30s. Effect can spread out when target is killed

btw this is graysun final form

[covert kayak]

where did graysun talk about the rat stuff and hardcore arena? i wanna reed that bafoonery myself

[gaunt oracle]

just type from:graysun. into the search bar. plenty of buffoonery. like how they are "looking into the luck system to make sure it is working properly" after Glock pretty handily proved luck does NOTHING

[warm fable]

search for word "soon" from him

[gaunt oracle]

just say "we're aware the luck stat isn't as effective as it should be, solve is on the way" or something. acknowledge the problem, don't instantly try to make it look like it MIGHT be working

dude was PR trained by mossad

anyway, buff entangling vines

[meager temple]

Yeah i saw both the videos ( i think it was only two?)

Another mind blowing thing, i dont understand how a group of people can create such a beautiful idea being Dark and darker but fuck it up in almost every way

[mint crest]

pr trained by mossad lmfaooo

[meager temple]

Its been years since release and we still cant rotate items in our inventory LMFAO

[mint crest]

definitely as honest

[drifting scaffold]

tf you need item rotation for? Diablo never had that

[crimson ledge]

It's so I can annoy anybody with OCD looting my body by having all my one slot items sideways

[final monolith]

what if i said movement cap should be 320

[slate hawk]

How would we feel if each and every equipment / weapon (artifacts excluded) had a static spawn, (with random modifiers and quality). Oh, I'm looking for a Rapier? That's in the Ruin's Bandit forest module, on a table. I might not get the stats that I want, but at least you can better focus on looting when looking for a specific piece of gear for SSF.

[swift coral]

pvp in the new knights hall module (longsword spawn) gonna be 🔥

[drifting scaffold]

I like this, like the table in bridge module that always has a weapon on it

[slate hawk]

Yes, but these would be 1 item specific. We have what a good 25-30 modules per layer so 25+50+75+Maelstrom, I'm sure that covers all if not most pieces of equipment, worst case it could be 2 items in some modules, we include instruments, potions, lockpicks and pick/axe.

I always felt like there should be one guaranteed pickaxe spawn in the Goblin mine module. There's one right there on the side (probably too rusty to use)

[agile laurel]

they are just gonna remove rat form, they arent gonna do anything else, mark my words, mods pin this, if im wrong u can call me good boy

[delicate ibex]

I have a difficult time believing sdf would really remove anything of substance. He'll just try to tweak it again. He never removes anything because that would be admitting the idea was bad or something. I'm expecting a change that either makes rat useless so it's never used, or (more likely) is supposed to fix it but doesn't do anything at all.

He could have just removed Torture Mastery and saved the game like a year of warlock balance nightmare. Instead he bent over backwards tweaking a million things in a million ways in order to avoid just removing the actual problem. He'll do the same forever with druid.

[timber root]

when is the season end?

[warm fable]

29.01.2026

[final monolith]

game is dead

[warm fable]

so just leave and never come back?

[gaunt oracle]

buff entangling vines

[grand drift]

[formal otter]

Not bad, but I would say even better: have mobs drop items that are specific to them. Also, a really cool addition to all the boring skeletons in the dungeon would be for them to have random gear on (kind of like how giants in ice caves have randomized clothes/war paint) and they drop that specific gear.

[round minnow]

Checking in after a few months and god damn this game is dead as hell! 🪦

[warm fable]

[vapid trout]

the 4x Coin Pouch from Wanderer rank, do you get multiple per unique character you have at that rank when wipe happens?

[keen zephyr]

Only once, account wide

[vapid trout]

ok, so there is no point getting multiple classes to wanderer?

[keen zephyr]

Correct

[gaunt oracle]

back in my day you'd grind 8 characters to wanderer and finish the goblin merchant's questline. 24 gold bags easy every season

[unreal sail]

Fog of war

[warm fable]

hey lots of inteligent players like fog of war

[gaunt oracle]

fog of war. pregame lobbies. multiclassing

[delicate ibex]

Ok, so actually it's that he'll only remove it if it's very new. Or maybe it's only if it's a game mechanic not related to character classes

Has any perk or skill been removed?

[static zodiac]

We are bending backwards to try to prove a point.

[gaunt oracle]

they combined rogue perks

[warm fable]

Added 6 new Perks for Ranger:

• Piercing Barrage: Each hit reduces target’s PDR

[static zodiac]

Warlocks TM and Druids Transformation are both examples of controversial parts of a characters identity, removing them is laziness, reworking them to where they fit the game is the best option.

People who jump right to remove because they face a minor inconvenience have 0 work ethic

[delicate ibex]

I don't think it's "jumping right to remove" when it's been a problem since forever. We are saying remove because clearly they cannot rework it intelligently.

[gaunt oracle]

someone here said "make druids shapeshifts recharge only when in human form" and I thought that was genius

[static zodiac]

Warlocks tm as its current state is a balanced feature of the character, a stark contrast to its previous iteration. The same will be done to Druid
Balance takes a while, it’s hard to jump the gun when the community is at arms with eachother 24/7

There is no singular right opinion, imagine making a right decision when one opinion from one individual is met with conflict no matter what “side” your on

[warm fable]

Spells are the most important in warlock kit
and Torture Mastery is the only reliable way of healing for warlock rn

[scenic dawn]

If there isn’t a seasonal bug that crashes the whole lobby, then we haven’t had a season

they're either calling the new dupe exploits they fix "database errors" or they've gotten those under control for a bit now

[vague yoke]

Just came back after a while of not playing. Killed troll for first time and pulled mystic gem but when I went to lobby it disappeared out of my inventory 🙁

[long mantle]

Warlocks need phantasmal shet removed and they are more balanced

[gaunt oracle]

they're limited to dungeon only now. can't extract them. its a W change... people don't hoard keys as currency anymore. more artifacts get found, making them cheaper

[vague yoke]

Damn wish I knew that lol

[gaunt oracle]

it says it in the tooltip but its easy to miss, especially since you have no reason to look

[vague yoke]

Yeah was my first time back after long break I was just excited for the nice pull on first troll kill. Maybe they are more common now?

Or did I squander big opportunity?

[gaunt oracle]

all the keys are fairly common from bosses now, I wouldn't sweat it

If you're seriously wondering, you can translate signals into different types of signals on the plane. Its like me signalling something to you across a football field with hand signals and then you telling someone else what I signalled over the phone. You're not sending hand signals over the phone, you translated them first.

[sage creek]

Remove rat form before that

[winged citrus]

Remove solo Q

Solo Q is whats killing the game afterall. remember when they removed solo/duos and all the druids stopped playing? Lets bring that back.

[sage creek]

Im not necessarely against that as a player that played solo in trio's the entire time crypt was trio only ☠️

[dawn gull]

I still think druid's broken even with solo q removed. I was watching a streamer play arena and the druid was able to evade the three players for in extremely long period of time

[next flint]

Honestly I think the game would be best with just two queues: Squire to Riches and HR. Everyone starts in S2R with no gear and everyone with gear goes into HR. And you tune HR like it was in the start, with mostly red mobs on the first floor and nightmares when you go further down.

[winged citrus]

sounds like 3 bad players to me. if druid was actually good in arena trios they'd be in the top 100 but atlas 2 druids in top 100 to the 18 fighters 12 warlocks and wiz/rangers

[timber orbit]

this isn’t a half bad idea once the two variants of HR come out (where one is easier than current HR, the other is not)

the only dilemma is the f2p consideration, they would be unable to use gear

[dawn gull]

I think it points more to the ability of the druid to evade than anything. Shouldn't have somebody disengage options

[static zodiac]

Druid is S tier solo, and like C Tier in a trio comp

[dawn gull]

This is a bad idea because only top tier gear would be useful

[static zodiac]

Unfortunately the only reason for norms existence is to appeal to the F2P audience, having an actual reason to play with gear

[plucky plaza]

any1 giving out free gold?

[timber orbit]

more or less

[static zodiac]

And have a reason to run anything below epic gear I suppose

[winged citrus]

I mean warlock shouldn't be able to outheal what healer heal but they do 🤷‍♂️

[timber orbit]

maybe so, but that’s a symptom of the current abundant availability of epic and legendary gear, and the ability to skip all progression by pressing “trade” and going on Amazon for your kit

[static zodiac]

S2R is probably the most fun mode I’m not going to lie

Having an environment where you can queue up with 2 other players in a no risk environment and just have fun

One of two modes where it’s actually useful to random queue

I a predominantly solo player love random queueing in S2R

[timber orbit]

i do want to clarify my strong bias against the market. i rarely use it (for gear), as i find it to be the least fun thing about the game.

i believe in order to make the game more enjoyable for every player, a proper progression pipeline in your characters power should be cemented well. Tarkov does this well by disabling the sale of certain things on the flea market (unsure if it still works this way or not but i enjoyed this)

[dawn gull]

This feels like cope, warlock in pvp is nowhere as broken

[timber orbit]

Warlock is much more potent in PvP than Druid i feel, but very easy to catch off guard and put down.

a good Druid never ever dies

[winged citrus]

all a proper warlock has to do is look around pull a mob or two then if anyone melee gets close Flamewalker/phanatomize or just phana every new class added to the game is super OP in some way.

[dawn gull]

As a PVE player I find it insane that you can sell pve gear on the market

[winged citrus]

A good warlock will never die aswell.

[dawn gull]

Yeah this is the core issue. I'm genuinely surprised that they still allow you to fly across the map or rat jump over and over again

[winged citrus]

atleast with bard/sorc they can't just heal back to full with 2 inputs. like druid/warlock

[dawn gull]

I'm not really going to go back and forth with you. It's funny you think warlock is anywhere near druid and nobody else in the community really thinks that. I don't know if you're trolling or just a druid or something

[feral kite]

I tried playing Darker after grinding Arc Raiders and it feels so much slower paced from swinging weapons to movement feels sluggish now, I have 3500 hours in darker I think I just played it too much ngl

[winged citrus]

if you don't think warlock is busted you just don't play the game properly. but granted you said ur a pve player so i really don't care what you have to say about balance lol.

you don't even properly play the game.

[obsidian river]

Love the fact that its perfectly fine to join arena and block the door all game with no repercussions, but i kill him once and i instantly go to red name

[winged citrus]

isn't arena such a amazing great design?

It's almost like allowing people to solo q in squire gear was a bad idea.

[dawn gull]

This is true, because PVP is un fun for me

[obsidian river]

For the most part, i think it is.. It's just the toxic playerbase this game has developed

[winged citrus]

pretty much all games have a toxic playerbase. because the players think being toxic to the ones who create the game is an amazing way to get the things they want in the game.

[dawn gull]

Maybe it's nostalgia but the only game I thought this wasn't true for is tf2

[winged citrus]

No tf2 players gatekeep/scam/hate ball as much as any other player base.

[shell rose]

Anyone know how to link accounts from blacksmith? i dont see the code

[sterile oriole]

hello?

[visual swallow]

Ni hao

[hasty roost]

so norms is empty, HR is filled with rat rogues and rat druids, and squire to rich has players but you get sent to water map and everyone quits the second they see it so you waste utility items....

[wise tinsel]

yep that is very accurate

[molten iris]

Ni hao

[slim scroll]

hi it is end of season

[molten iris]

can i still get traubadour emote

my big brother a musician and he really love it, how do it get 1 if possible

[shell rose]

Anyone know how to link accounts from blacksmith? i dont see the code

[charred plover]

you guys think i can get skeleton mage till wipe if i have 2k gold to my name and 30 seals donated so far? :D

[static zodiac]

Absolutely, I went from 20k to 100k in 2 weeks by playing HR, and selling Iron balls

[warm fable]

ask peopel for money

[static zodiac]

You can make 1-2k per run on HR, and you make passive income by buying iron ore, turning it into iron balls for a profit

So you stack up your store with balls, then go HR, you can make about 6k a hour for little risk

If your playing 2 hours a day that’s 12k more or less

[grand slate]

this game is so ass why are my parries not working in pvp only they are literally hitting my sword

[charred plover]

what do people need iron balls for

[static zodiac]

Hand canon

[charred plover]

a makes sence

[static zodiac]

Not a lot of people use the weapon yet sells often

[molten iris]

i though we are not keeping the mage skin though next season

no?

[static zodiac]

You keep any cosmetic rewards from Religon

[molten iris]

lmao, i need to grind money now

[static zodiac]

That’s why people still have the frost, and water map nightmare zombies

[molten iris]

can db sell for 100k

[charred plover]

also what do i need to do to get 2k per run

[molten iris]

thats last thing i have

[static zodiac]

Probably not, I think it’s like 40k?

I hope I’m wrong for your sake

In regards to linking my original purchase account on blacksmith, how do I link it to Steam?

Tyler is goated @timber orbit

Out of all the bs I listen too you can’t diss on that

i only like wilshire and that’s more of a story than a song

he has amazing production but he is in no way a good singer

[ember rain]

[ember rain]

i would jump ship brotha, this company will just waste your time forever

[timber orbit]

have you ever had lobster with your life on the line

[static zodiac]

[timber orbit]

Tyler could probably be one of the most successful producers ever if he just quit making his own music

[static zodiac]

Would make a lot of Tyler fans sad🥲

[half moss]

have any plans to change the standing on hardcore arena from losing all gear?

come about

[timber orbit]

none that i’ve heard of

i do think the community reaction to this event is proof that griefers and trolls need much more strict reinforcement than just a 5 minute ban.

[half moss]

yeah

[placid swallow]

What braincell does ironmace operate on thinking it's a good idea to lose all gear in artifact arenas after loss people just want to enjoy their named items I'd be okay with after a win you can loot the other team but it just disappearing is kinda wack tbh

[shut scroll]

Question can you play original map?

All these maps look like shit

[static zodiac]

Yeah ruins

[shut scroll]

Can I select the ruins or it’s random between these three?

[molten iris]

the event is not out but people alr complain about it

[visual swallow]

you select ruins, go down to crypts

[lost plover]

Ruins if you take a red staircase will go to crypts the original map. But there are many new modules

[visual swallow]

s2r is random maps, norms and HR you select, idk wtf happens in pve mode

[shut scroll]

Ooooh

[slender notch]

im glad i got people not speaking english yapping at me on na east on the absolute most sus shit i ever seen

[visual swallow]

just learn mandarin dawg

[slender notch]

im about to lock into rosetta stone now

[late vortex]

lol

just learn " friendly"

[shut scroll]

OK, I think ruins isn’t the map I was talking about. I’m talking about OG indoor map.

[visual swallow]

it's crypts

[shut scroll]

Ahhh thanks

[visual swallow]

you start in ruins and take a red portal/door down to the crypts

[shut scroll]

Thanks

[timber orbit]

thankfully all the new modules are certified bangers

[wind dawn]

Anybody still working at Ironmace?

[grand slate]

ive been doing the squire quests and non

[slate hawk]

Each merchant.
Like the weaponsmith will unlock more and better quality weapons (up to white)

[charred plover]

specific merchants

[molten iris]

[charred plover]

what are they even adding this wipe

[sterile oriole]

@hexed adder theres a bug that crash the game while fighting the lich

[drifting scaffold]

crashed whole lobby right? had this the other day

[sterile oriole]

yes it crash the whole lobby the moment u hit the lich

[alpine raft]

it happens when you get to close too the litch and it does the AOE

[rose kayak]

Ayo I went to make a new character and apparently the name "Veronika" is inappropriate? Anybody got an explanation coz I'm at a loss

[charred plover]

the part "nika"

[warm fable]

bro must have overslept entire season
https://darkanddarker.featureupvote.com/suggestions/687417/boss-summoning

[charred plover]

probably banned word cuz close to slur bypass

[rose kayak]

God. People ruin everything. Makes sense though, thanks

[charred plover]

ive seen a guy with a way worse name so idk why they banned that

[dawn gull]

You're making good points today tbh

[warm fable]

@pulsar lantern agrees

[visual swallow]

why was I timed out lol

[slim scroll]

I’m bored of hating, I love this game!

[molten iris]

monkey form for druid

[warm fable]

maybe this caused it

[molten iris]

bird form also

[visual swallow]

@worn rainwhy you time me out

[worn rain]

I am in HR so i cant sir

[warm fable]

sargent doakes

[worn rain]

if you want i can check via DM after HR We can't talk about moderation here.

[grave frigate]

Honestly better off running minecraft instead dnd until wipe..

[keen briar]

How’s my goated game coming along?

[molten iris]

worst than minecraft

[simple aspen]

sdf has downs no cap

[warm fable]

18 more days

[wet copper]

It’s giving future devs of games in this genre a great roadmap of things to avoid.

[static zodiac]

They are adding a roadmap to the list of things to avoid

[wet copper]

IM didn’t make a roadmap, so make roadmap. Also don’t make gameplay a mile wide and inch deep. (Kilometre wide and Centimetre deep) ADHD ass devs

[woven widget]

can Ironmace add fishing and cooking

Let me buy a grill and kettle to put by my campfire so I can grill fish, wolves, goblins and so on and a brew some tea leaves with skeleton bones I powdered

[gaunt oracle]

buff entangling vines

[mental garden]

so i jsut came by to say that arc is everything you could be but you failed

[gloomy tapir]

Whens wipe?

[molten iris]

they should add dragon so we can hunt

name him rathalos

[long mantle]

BAN ALL HANDOUTS

[valid moss]

can we add whisper back pls

how else can I say gg after a 1v1 🥹

[slate hawk]

A good percentage of the whispers I sent to randoms were along thos lines of GG and such.

[valid moss]

agreed 🙏🏼

[gaunt oracle]

99% of my DMs were basically "2 open portals in Demon Armpit, 3 in Blood Pudding" or whatever

[valid moss]

dms were pretty helpful as a new player

maybe people were being too toxic is my guess 🫡

[static zodiac]

A good amount of whispers I’ve received have had something among the line of slurs or wishing of harm to me or my family ✌️🥹

[valid moss]

can just report/block

[gaunt oracle]

PVP players sure are funsies. The worst message I got in PVE mode was "Why are you running artifacts in adventure mode?"

that guy was a real jerk

[static zodiac]

DM’s rn are currently friends only tho

[valid moss]

I mean im pretty sure in solo hr it’s mainly asking to buy their kit back

[slate hawk]

I've been very fortunate in that regards, but that might be related to the fact that most of the 1v1 fights I get into, I lose.
And winners rarely DM you to trash talk while still alive.

[gaunt oracle]

you can change that if you want. play druid

[slate hawk]

Ah, maybe some classes get more flamed on that others, and I haven't really touched Druid for a season or two.

[valid moss]

nope Druid is nerfed now they nerfed its swimming

[gaunt oracle]

druids, rogues, and TM locks DMs are not for young eyes

[mystic spindle]

@vale oar is it possible to have wardens as "middle men" for big trades?

[gaunt oracle]

what you're asking for has happened in the past and was a MASSIVE scandal. just use a collector's guild middleman you've heard of before

[void anchor]

Do you get boss kill credit if you're standing outside the boss room in duos and have your teammate kill it?

[valid moss]

Yes it’s directed towards party

[mystic spindle]

they banned me from the collectors guild and i dont even know why

[void anchor]

Sweet, thanks

[gaunt oracle]

oh then goodbye

[native coyote]

I dont think there's anything wrong with that

[mystic spindle]

yup

[gaunt oracle]

I dont even want to say the name of the warden that started the shit... might catch a stray banhammer

but hes gone now, yay

[valid moss]

NP

[native coyote]

fword?

[slate hawk]

Wardens are just regular players in the game. Our scope ends at the Discord server

[native coyote]

like fesword

[gaunt oracle]

rhymes with bytch

[unreal garnet]

what are middlemen for? this game is so scuffed they cant simply make the trade window big enough to not require a middlemen? they on the goodgood fr.....

[mystic spindle]

would you ever be my middle man if i needed one?

[cyan monolith]

ill be ur middle man

[mystic spindle]

i dont think they expected people to trade 9 chests

[cyan monolith]

jus trade me all ur shit

[valid moss]

same

[mystic spindle]

thanks

[unreal garnet]

how long ago was middleman scamming a thing? how much time have they had to add inventory tiles to trade window?

[mystic spindle]

idk

i just got far enough into the game to start

never had a chest before

[native coyote]

I think it would be better if instead of 50k the limit on the market was made 500k and the ability to craft chests

or create a currency more valuable than the chest and more compact

[mystic spindle]

they might now that wood planks are in the game

[unreal garnet]

removing arbitray restrictions? ya.... we all wish.....

[gusty portal]

WHEN CAN THERE BE A FUCKING BUTTON TO REPORT RATTING THIS IS FUCKING GETTING OUT OF HAND THIS GAME FUCKING SUCKS AND NOBODY CAN FUCKING PLAY IT ANYMORE

[mystic spindle]

they can only do so much at a time

[mystic spindle]

ratting is a playstyle

[unreal garnet]

ya, like tweak numbers

[mystic spindle]

teaming is cheating

[cyan monolith]

is it really though

[mystic spindle]

yes

[native coyote]

ya, this was the most W patch when keys stopped being sold on the market, but now you have to trade such stupid things

[cyan monolith]

nah

[mystic spindle]

ok

[native coyote]

db for 3 chests that dont fit in the trade

[unreal garnet]

it is only cheating in HR technically

[mystic spindle]

thats what i meant

[gusty pollen]

Hello! What do we do with a coral fragment? It doesn't sell for much to the vendor. PLMK!

[unreal garnet]

imagine if anything about this game was mildly intuitive... intstead... this ^^^

[gusty pollen]

Imagine if you will, you took your time to type a bunch of words, but they didn't accomplish anything.

[slate hawk]

Some items can be turned in for quest later, or otherwise just sold.

[gusty pollen]

aye, Coral: The primary use for collected Coral Fragments is as a material for certain crafting quests, especially those given by the Tailor NPC

[urban root]

can i use my legendary arena gear i spent the whole wipe grinding for

[unreal garnet]

the irony 💀

[unreal garnet]

yep but if you lose a game you lose the gear! but thats ok becasue some players "want to see how far they can push with a hardcore limitation"... or something idk. not sure if that quote actually means anything, but maybe

[pulsar lantern]

GGs i was the rat

[sullen thorn]

whens wipe?

[native coyote]

29

[sullen thorn]

of this month?

[native coyote]

yep

[sullen thorn]

ok

[urban root]

i love coming back after a month and all my arena gear is useless 🙂

[final monolith]

not only that but the number of affixes on the pieces of gear is the same, only the color changed

[pulsar swift]

not useless in PvE!

[urban root]

i literally only play this game anymore for arena

[final monolith]

dont mention pve ever again

[pulsar swift]

lmaolmao

[final monolith]

😛

[timber orbit]

[final monolith]

LK next season there has to be some big major changes to the meta cuz right now its the biggest form of run and runner

[keen trellis]

Should I buy dark and darker in 2026?

[unreal garnet]

yea youre like the player that theyre catering AGAINST

[urban root]

they arenet cateriing to anyone lol thats why everyones GONE

[unreal garnet]

oh i know, but i think they actually care about arena players the least. they want you in the dungeons, aprreciating every little asset they bought

[urban root]

i played probably about 50-100 actual games this wipe just getting characters to level 20. i literally just hop on and flip items for gold and build arena kits only enjoyable thing to do

[unreal garnet]

and arena has no water map. how can arena players appreciate their newest piece of amazing content, water map???? gotta go to the dungeons

[void anchor]

God imagine a water arena map

[cyan monolith]

well water map doesnt use modules so i doubt that'd be possible

[unreal garnet]

they can do it. just box off part of the map with invis walls. or flaoting hundreds-of-murloc walls that stab you if you get close

[warm fable]

there are cool dungeon like parts in water map

permaban ALL cheaters, including:

RMTers (Sellers AND buyers)
Repeat-offenders of teaming

[cyan monolith]

what if i do all 3

does it cancel out and im allowed to?

[upbeat lion]

Ban him for spreading bad opinion

[gaunt oracle]

I could kinda see bottom right being an arena map, if they got the spawns right and closed access to the big underwater cavern or made the water deal damage

knowing IM though they would set one spawn at the top of the skull for no reason other than to auto-win the round

[gaunt oracle]

aren't you that guy who "used to" cheat but you're still telling people how much ingame items cost in dollars? check his account

[unreal garnet]

what 🤣 🤣

[upbeat lion]

I may or may not be the person you're talking about

[lapis birch]

how is my goated game coming along/

[upbeat lion]

It was a joke. Idk why you post this. Those cheaters are being banned

[upbeat lion]

Come back after wipe.

[cyan monolith]

ask again in 18 days

[upbeat lion]

Not a single cheater or rmters are being temporarily. Everyone who abused rules in this way were and are banned permanently. Stop spamming please.

[deep lintel]

[cyan monolith]

he just loves spamming random stuff idk why

[late vortex]

NAH man i recently got informed people i had reported were temp banned , through the game when i logged. i dont think they are perma banning people who are cheating

[gaunt oracle]

you still play tho?

[upbeat lion]

Their accounts are perma banned. Idk what you are trying to accomplish here

[gaunt oracle]

i don't accept the opinions of cheaters who defend cheaters bro, save yourself time and dont bother trying to convince me of anything

[upbeat lion]

I dont defend cheaters.

[late vortex]

thats not what Iron mace sent me when i logged, said temporary

[upbeat lion]

You are just silly boy whi tries to accomplish what already is happening in this game.

[late vortex]

bro i have no reason to lie

i think its hella lame

[upbeat lion]

Were you banned for cheating?

[late vortex]

no i got sent a message that the person i reported got a 2 week temp ban

[upbeat lion]

What was he reported for

[late vortex]

aimbot

[upbeat lion]

Send a proof or it didnt happen.

[late vortex]

or wall hacks idk thats all i notice

[upbeat lion]

Either way I don't recommend cheating. You get perma banned

[late vortex]

yea i wish it was that clear n cut, i hate cheaters. but i feel Iron mace gave up. pc gaming is just subject to it

[gaunt oracle]

they ALL get temp bans... or their perma gets lifted (sometimes several times). I've seen mountains of evidence comparibly that show the public sentiment around Dark and Darker's anticheat enforcement is "its ineffective". The ONE guy who says cheaters get permabanned... is himself a cheater, who currently plays the game. Can't make this shit up

[late vortex]

litterally just said they told me in a message they temp banned my report.

[static moat]

Cheaters been getting unbanned in this game since ages ago

[late vortex]

even if they could root out the cheaters, what if i told you a third of the 2000-4000 people cheat so it would be the final nail in the coffin

[gaunt oracle]

if your game dies because you banned cheaters, your game deserved to die and you put it down humanely

[late vortex]

yea honestly

well i mean if they could have done it from the start it would have been nice

[unreal garnet]

^^^

[cyan monolith]

i agree

[crystal sluice]

are they closing servers yet

[drifting scaffold]

10 years of dark and darker baby

[molten orchid]

🤞

[sharp loom]

If your caught cheating and get reported you will be permanently banned lol

No temp bans on corrupted accounts

[nova knot]

does anyone know if im banned

i may have said some gamer words in game chat and i dont know if im banned i can open the game but it wont let me ready up for arenas. like it wont let me get pass the squire boys message 😭

[visual swallow]

how would anyone know that lol

[nova knot]

@visual swallow

[visual swallow]

[nova knot]

idk if that means im banned or not

[visual swallow]

is the message saying you're trying to bring gear that's not allowed

[warped lintel]

that doesn't mean you're banned, you probably just have items that aren't allowed

[nova knot]

oh im a troglodyte

[visual swallow]

[nova knot]

i have a coin bag for some reason XD

[sharp loom]

If you get banned it won't let you in the game without telling you you have been banned

[late vortex]

arena is a ghost town , my server has like 5 people queing

[nova knot]

i was going to say i figured but im fried rn

[sharp loom]

Even temp it just says go to the discord and request help

They need to revamp arena next season if they want to keep it. It's inherently 1000x more repetitive than the dungeons

[obtuse agate]

I want to get back into this game, just wanted to see if it's dead or not worth it to play

[gaunt oracle]

permaban ALL cheaters, including:
ESP/Hacks
RMTers (Sellers AND buyers)
Repeat-offenders of teaming

[late vortex]

wipe is soon so its extra dead

[obtuse agate]

ahhh ok, when is wipe?

[dreamy vine]

It's end of wipe try start of Feb

[pure beacon]

if u die in pve mode how long does it take to get ur stuff back in goblin merchant

[gaunt oracle]

he brings it back a few minutes after the last person has died or left from that map. so if you die early on crypts, you have to wait for that crypts to end plus a minute or 2

[pure beacon]

just got it back

was stressing since it was a trident kit lol

[gaunt oracle]

no worries. remember, there is only goblin recovery in pve norms. pve hr you risk your kit, no goblin

[warm fable]

#dnd-memes-only still blocked

[pure beacon]

good to know ty

glad i could be of some use

[nova knot]

Guys w take or trash take: the ability to earn bluestone shards should be unlimited and its kinda stupid that they are capped at 5

[unreal garnet]

^^^

[unreal garnet]

trash take, remove bluestone shards, make everything redstone shard only and also put more focus on skins and emotes rather than spells and perks

[nova knot]

how much did AIPAC pay you to type this

[unreal garnet]

i wish 😢

[warm fable]

hmnmmm

maybe its there to prevent cheaters from farming blue shards

[nova knot]

thanks fishu "blubblubblub" to you too :3

the BAD guy could make an account, create a bot that would farm blue shards 24/7 and then he would sell account

@winged swan they added the circle back?! I might actually come back to play if so

[woven light]

How close is 25k to that

[mossy plaza]

is getting slowed from hitting someones shield still a thing?

[thick owl]

25k might be around 1 full chest, so I would say not close at all. I am not sure how much 1 deathbloom is also

[woven light]

Oof

[mortal bluff]

Deathbloom is around 40k

[steady raptor]

do the reward tokens carry over to the new wipe?

[clever cloud]

[modest echo]

Go watch notjettpc on twitch

[sonic cave]

People really will ask "hey I need you to tell me every piece of gear and what every roll should be, thanks!"

Instead of just asking for stat priority and using their brain.

[frank loom]

ye

[atomic schooner]

some people like the extra help

[fiery aspen]

It's SSF and thats kinda what i meant but whats the meta way of achieving it right now. I'm new to the class and don't know what stats to prioritize as I've only ever played fighter and wizard.

[gaunt oracle]

watch SoBadStrange's video from a few days ago titled "Dark and Darker Arena | The BEST Class Build Guide "
or go watch notjettpc on twitch (hes a top druid and the guy SoBad asked for reference in his video)

Whenever somebody says something vaguely insulting to me, I like to say "Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?"

[worn rain]

I know how you feel. I love Anakin Skywalker.

[misty ridge]

Cal Kestis has taken the cake for me lately

[zinc bobcat]

sdf needs to add bots like fornite

[coral tide]

is there anyone who could help me get the warlord kill for my last leathersmith quest to craft up arena gear before this season ends. been trying to learn him but suck at bossing especially solo

[cyan monolith]

just go undead slaying cleric + the AOE skill

[long mantle]

ban all handouts...

[cyan monolith]

how am i supposed to get money then?

[coral tide]

just getting into the game again and would like to get an arena kit before spendingf the week to learn the boss, already almost 1900 rating with a shitty no crafteds purps kit

oh well back to the meatgrinder

[atomic schooner]

but i like giving people stuff on the last couple days of wipe :(

[long mantle]

Last week would be fine but like constant is dumb lol

[keen briar]

How’s my goated game coming along?

[crisp marten]

is arena found by you items only still?

[dreamy vine]

I have some funny clips

[upper delta]

send

[keen zephyr]

If you want to keep the items yes, but you can still buy market gear and bring it in

[dreamy vine]

For now

[acoustic mesa]

is there any confirmation if artifact arenas is gonna be ssf or is market purchases ok?

[upper delta]

Arena is everything arena shouldnt be

[dreamy vine]

Takes more than that to get into the mad wizards stash

[upper delta]

Bro talking like hes Bhone or something

[dreamy vine]

Dam bhone the legend

[gaunt oracle]

in artifact arenas, you only keep your kit if you win
#the-tavern message

[acoustic mesa]

oh

interesting

[vague yoke]

I’m trying to play again. All my matches so far have been empty or maybe one person. Is this just the current pop in NA West or am I being filtered because I am low rank? I did notice that some other players I ran into also were new characters(less than lvl 15)

[gaunt oracle]

no, your lobbies are probably genuinely near-empty. its less than 3 weeks from wipe time. people are mostly either playing arena or waiting for wipe

[vague yoke]

Thanks, makes sense although I would think a lil more active. There seems to be 5x the ques now since I last played though. Any modes more popular than others that anyone knows like trios castle or something?

[lost plover]

Squire to riches is almost always poppin

[final monolith]

poppin with new players that are lvl 1 with no helmet tho ngl

[lost plover]

Sometimes it be that way

[final monolith]

i played almost 3k hours so i try to tell them to do the first armorers quest in goblin cave pve and i just go mid and try to 1v3 :/

[lost plover]

I remember when you just had a default loadout

Depends on the class

[final monolith]

its kinda weird theres some things that are gatekept like squire equipment but theres no real explanation in game to 1) to know what could have 2) how to get that

[lost plover]

Armorer doesn't get the casters

[final monolith]

true its a lot of quests for a new player before he could potentially be viable in pvp

he wont tho u need like 300 hours before trying to pvp imo

the new player wont grind the quests to get good armors and weapons, work his loudout and build to minmax
hes just gonna go in there at lvl 1 no helmet, die instantly to a chad, go ?????? and then never touch the game again / go to pve

[lost plover]

Also tbh i'm at 7k hours and in squires I don't rock a helmet on my cleric i don't like how any of them look. I need some hoods

[amber scaffold]

PvE is the best place for a new player anyways

[long mantle]

0 people in lobbie rip.

[upper delta]

This game deserves worse

[final monolith]

q_q please saint wilder wear a helmet for your own security

[lost plover]

I refuse. Until i get hoods that are squire gear I will refuse the construction helmets

I will not watch for falling rocks

[final monolith]

i would suggest strongly a skin like lizard or croc at least >:)

[upper delta]

If you dont like the movement penalty use something like chapel del fer or a race or smt bro

your gonna get one shot by a barb

[final monolith]

chapel de fer is arguably one of the sickest looking helmets, looks like mortal combat combattant

[lost plover]

Its just looks. I am a weird dark player. My kits have to be asthetically pleasing or i won't run them. So in squires its no helmet and no the Krampus skin was previously the male elf

[final monolith]

i kinda understand what u mean if ure running krampus.... i bet if u could use an arcane hood you would?

wouldnt be such a stretch i bet sdf could make this happen for you

krampus tho need to be hair in the wind, he should be 15%headshot redux when wearing without a helmet

[upper delta]

Just lost an arena match to a triple bow

Fighter bard ranger and im a caster

This game is truly somemthing else man

[quaint dagger]

you not have teammates or?

[upper delta]

Playing solo

And theres this fighter in my region that queues in squire kit

[quaint dagger]

if it's a 1v3 idk what outcome you're expecting

[misty ridge]

Arming sword, round shield, adventurer tunic, cloth pants, torch, bandage

Remember it like it was yesterday 🙂

Single junk quality bandage

[lost plover]

Exactly

Trios, crypts was the onyl map that existed

And skeletons were terrifying

[misty ridge]

If you saw a cloak, you'd turn and run

[long mantle]

i miss being cloak rich rofl

[lost plover]

Cloak rich or if you saw a lobster it was a nope out of there

That means they were too good

[trail meteor]

PANTHER CANT DASH UNDERWATER? GAME RUINED! HOW CAN I EVEN PLAY THIS CLASS NOW

[trail meteor]

back before they went the wrong direction with the game lol

[atomic schooner]

If you saw a lobster it was normally followed by either your desktop after alt f4ing or the lobby screen

Tho i wanna go back to those days of loot where good gear was actually hard to get instead of just finding purples in half the chests you loot

[gaunt oracle]

why arent we banning cheaters ive seen the same people rage hack for a week straight without getting banned

[woven light]

Easiest way to get 500k gold so I can get the egg for my quest? 😖

[hollow fulcrum]

crossbow slows you waaaaayyy to much when you get hit by it and for too long

[shell rose]

What do i do with the silver krampus things after completing quest

[hollow fulcrum]

its a daily quest

[woven light]

You can keep them for next day or sell on market

[wispy pivot]

been playing since alpha and im gonna give next wipe another chance but the state of the game is just despair

[dawn gull]

Something underrated is how brutally unfun pvp is for people with lives tbh

[hollow fulcrum]

game has no balance and feels bad but they keep dropping nothing patched

[wispy pivot]

yep nothing will change, this season has been a complete bust water map was mid, and once again druid runs that map

[hollow fulcrum]

water map isn't even mid it's actually trash

unplayable lag and frame rate, terrible design, classes just get nerfed in the water

[swift coral]

idk what ur talkin about i get 165fps solid my g on my 9800x3d and rtx 4080
maybe try running the game on something that isnt a potato frfr

[robust trail]

Druid needs to actually be removed for a season so it fan be properly reworked. A 5% change here and there ain't gonna fix it.

But the time for "fixing" stuff has passed i believe. Ever since "Some Drunken Fool" told us we were enjoying his product wrong its been over.

[hollow fulcrum]

i go from 130 on every other map to 40 when theres more than one team on water map. it aint my pc

[swift coral]

sorry to say g but it might be ur pc

(and bad optimization)

[robust trail]

Its for sure your PC actually

[swift coral]

just brute force through all of it with powerful hardware and ur fine
That's what I did.

to a degree, it is your pc, but also, IM's bad optimization
if ur getting like big variation between maps and playercount, its probably legit both playing a part in your experience being worse

[upper cedar]

water map is pretty much the only map and even game for that matter that I struggle with

[swift coral]

ye, it ran like shit for me on my older cpu

just sucks that I can even call a 6 core 12 thread 4+ghz cpu old and dated
state of gaming these days

[robust trail]

Maybe you are using your pc wrong "buffs.MS paint bucket tool 5%"

There this should fix it.

[upper cedar]

I do have a 4070 + ryzen 9 5900x which is enough for most games other than that map aha

[swift coral]

yeah haha i was trying to play that shit on a 3600x
recent patches have made frame timings better on water map, but only saw massive fps improvement after upgrading cpu & gpu

[neon kite]

When are we just gonna be truthful

[atomic schooner]

Sounds like u gonna need to upgrade

[hollow fulcrum]

its not

[warped lintel]

I get stable 60 on water map with a 1080ti + i5 8600k

[swift coral]

what cpu do you have

[hollow fulcrum]

12700

[upper cedar]

aint gonna upgrade just so I can play that shit map lmfao

[swift coral]

yeah so assuming your gpu is up to spec you shouldnt have issue
sounds more like a OS configuration problem

[atomic schooner]

Nah. You gotta upgrade just to upgrade

[warped lintel]

whats your ram

[neon kite]

What’s your social security number

[hollow fulcrum]

you're right, i shouldn't, yet i do. me and many other people

[robust trail]

Try closing WINamp.

[warped lintel]

whats your pets maiden name

[hollow fulcrum]

windows 11 is heavier than it should be but also no. only game, only map that has issues.

[neon kite]

What’s your first friends name?

[atomic schooner]

My ram currently costs more then half the price of my gpu lol. And i spent extra on the gpu just to get one that i like the look of

[swift coral]

yeah you and many other people are quick to blame IM, thats for sure.
could something else bogging down performance.

Could be IM, could be Tavern process, i dont know. but I am not so quick to blame IM for this, when I have solid frames on pretty similar hardware.
even a better experience on my old hardward than what you are citing.

Something is up with your setup or its a specific issue maybe to do with the way anticheat is scanning ur files

[warped lintel]

I lucked out and upgraded to 32gb like 6 months ago

[atomic schooner]

Yeah i built my pc right b3fore prices started going up

[upper cedar]

how much have prices gone up? I have been completely away and out of the loop so have no idea

[swift coral]

key point something wrong, try contacting support @hollow fulcrum we cant help

[atomic schooner]

Too much thats how much

[robust trail]

Nerf MS paint bucket tool 5% again. There this should fix it.

[hollow fulcrum]

somethings up with specifically that map. its not unique to me, its unique to one map on one game

[upper cedar]

we talkin like 5% right?

[neon kite]

Surely it isn’t IM

[swift coral]

no point sitting here and complaining, contact support if you think so, but if it was specifically that map, then I would also have bad performance, but I dont.

so stop preaching to the choir and go get your problem sorted out.
unless you dont want to run that map at good fps

[atomic schooner]

Your missing some 0s

[upper cedar]

[atomic schooner]

Map runs perfectly fine for me

[hollow fulcrum]

you also have a top 5 gpu lol

[atomic schooner]

What gpu?

[swift coral]

kek

[neon kite]

Let him yap who made YOU the yap police

[swift coral]

its not about yapping its about pointing him in direction where he gets problem solved instead of sitting here winging not getting it solved

he can yap all he wants, are you the anti yap yap police?

[upper cedar]

solution shouldnt be buy a new pc :-(

[robust trail]

Buff MS paint spray can tool 15%

This will help skill expression.

[swift coral]

That was a joke
obv people shouldnt have to brute force past bad optimization

[warped lintel]

skill issue just spray better

[atomic schooner]

The solution to everything is to buy a new pc

[neon kite]

New pc yap yap ironmace optimization 10/10 yup

[robust trail]

Banned user Vexx for hatespeech

[hollow fulcrum]

bro there is no easy fix for it. its an optimization issue on their end. the fact that a fight breaking out in trios on that map dumps the frame rate for everyone i've ever talked to is a pretty clear issue

[swift coral]

(i agree with you i was just shitposting)
end of the day the optimization of this title is shoddy at best, when there are people with so many varied experiences on varied hardware, it's at the core an optimization problem.
Issue being someone could have a NASA PC and still be getting 40fps on water map for no discernable reason.

Nobody should be expectecd to buy new hardware to attempt to fix a problem they dont even know if it will get fixed or not by getting new hardware.

[neon kite]

Yeah

[lost plover]

You and me both

[swift coral]

not everyone, my fps stays solid 💪

x3d cache babaayy

[atomic schooner]

I still get like 200 frames on that map even mid fight. It runs fine for me

[swift coral]

This is what points out that it is a core optimization issue

[neon kite]

New pc

[atomic schooner]

I just have a powerful enough pc to brute force literally everything tho

[robust trail]

We have decided to remove the eraser from MS paint since users are using it in an unintended way to go back on previous decisions.

We intend it to be used to add flavor to shading, and will be re added when we find a way to limit it to do so.

Also buffed the paint can tool 5%

[swift coral]

Understanding that optimization isnt about how good something runs on one pc
but how good something runs on a large variety of PC's

Would be understanding that you providing your anecdotal "I still get 200 frames"
Only serves to further back up the claims of others, that this game is horribly optimized, understand?

Like saying that doesnt say what you think it does
i also have components capable of brute forcing past all that, doesnt mean we can expect anyone else to waste their money like that xD

[queen torrent]

it kinda makes sense, but in arenas i get like 100-200 more frames than dungeon

[swift coral]

This is natural, expected

[queen torrent]

ye for sure its just crazy how big the difference is

[swift coral]

yeah haha

Biggest degradation seems to indeed be in trios with multiple teams existing

[queen torrent]

i just noticed it earlier i saw i had like 400 fps in arenas

in dungeons i be at like 250 max

[swift coral]

I've heard people cite bard as being a specific cause for a certain type of lag

[swift coral]

i gotta test how much i get fr, i keep it at 165

[robust trail]

MS paint early access patch 102 patch notes:

We are exited to announce big changes coming this season that will take us one step further in fulfilling my vision of seeing.

-balance-
Nerfed Paint can tool 5%

Well see you on the flip!
