Before that all the emotes were behind easy quests

[drifting scaffold]

the other 2 are behind easier quests too

just normal kill stuff interact with stuff

but why not just wait for future, so we can buy those skins and emotes without putting too much efforts but money.

Y'all can complain about the emote grind all you want, but Demigod used to be an achievement.
Now they're just handing it out to people, making 2k AP a game easy af.
No wonder the rewards for Demigod have been trash for 5 seasons straight.

Bandage skin? Really?
Nobody wants that trash.

[static zodiac]

I want it 🙋

Been wanting a bandage skin, it’s pretty kewl

[dark jetty]

Yeah well you eat rocks, so.

[wicked sedge]

green poop is normal man

No it should be red

[dark jetty]

When the new season starts.
If you watch the 2nd-to-last release from the Dark Doses channel, first clip is Morty showing the drops.

[tall trench]

Thank you goat 🐐

[cedar pendant]

sure

[drifting rock]

actually so pissed rn
battlefield was one of my favorite games looking forward to and they ruined it with the secure boot requirement

now another one of my most played games forcing you to have a crappy barely functional windows feature on just to play? so many people are gonna quit because of this.

inb4 "its so easy to enable it!!!1!!"

Not all computers are built the same. Alot more people than you think dont have the their windows secure boot working properly/dont have the hardware for it. No one wants to dish out extra money for drives and motherboards that are compatible with secure boot GPT drive requirement.

[azure snow]

Goblins probably poop green

[drifting rock]

so you're effectively locking out a good chunk of your playerbase for some questionably working windows feature that not everyone has. so angering

[sudden shoal]

u got cheats running bru

[mossy talon]

realistically how trash is wizard for bossing? should i run like a quarterstaff for more phys damage or keep the poke range on my crystal sword? (im talking about in duos, i am aware its kind of a nightmare in solos)

[sudden shoal]

i feel like it’s pretty easy, just have ignite up and clarity pots or make your teammate kite while you meditate

i’d say crystal sword or magic staff for the extra magic damage

[patent sierra]

when is the new season/wipe coming out?

[wraith sorrel]

did you figure out this out? I have blatant artifact teamers
https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkAndDarker/comments/1so6a7r/state_of_artifact_hunting_in_solos/

[mossy talon]

thats kinda what i was feeling was just worried about the masive mdr on boss and mobs making me useless, but i do feel really comfortable dodging with the crystal sword so it felt a bit safer than a quarter staff

[hardy raft]

can anyone kill wyvern for me?

[nimble sonnet]

are eu servers in maintenance holy shit

what the fuck is this desync

[hardy raft]

every windows bios have options to enable it, there're 2 things you need to turn on basically

[sudden shoal]

yeah true there is some bosses with high mdr but i dont think its all of them, and even with it ignite crystal sword/staff is good cause its still physical damage but also added mag dmg so even if they have resist it still stacks up decently. most mobs will get messed up bad by ignite, players too if u can play right. there’s also things like reactive shield that may help you since ur squishy. if you wanted to truly mid max against bosses for max damage with their mdr maybe a different weapon would be better but IDK i think its a safe bet to just play the weps i mentioned, for clearing mobs and pvp and overall stuff you’ll encounter plus bossing

[unreal garnet]

nah this is too good 🤣 🤣 they went mouse and slipped through the planks?? holy hell chalk and chalker is my favorite circus, i love it

Someone please pin this message

[drifting rock]

points i made completely flew over ur head. ur baiting.

[drifting rock]

its dependent on HARDWARE. you need a specific kind of HARD DRIVE and a SPECIFIC motherboard that supports TPM

if you happen to be able to activate it, good job its no effort for you but if you're part of the unlucky chunk that cant, well cough up upwards of 200 dollars or get lost. Its stupid.

[iron dragon]

Fake news, it's mobo only

[sudden shoal]

how bro, it only does that when u have some sketchy shit running

[drifting rock]

You need a an SSD/HDD that writes in GPT, not MBT. Look it up. Secure boot and TPM are dependent on this.

[onyx lotus]

okay I checked my FPS I lag on west when I'm from east but it's not ping lag it's FPS lag

[drifting rock]

So yes, its dependent on drives too

[onyx lotus]

I'm playing on west because my friends are from west btw

[drifting rock]

I researched this alot because I got screwed out of playing battlefield 6 because of this BS

[onyx lotus]

But playing on east I don't lag I feel like this is a server sided issue

[modest mulch]

Bro if you can’t enable that shit your on a pc that prob can’t run the game to begin with or some weird ass micro pc build

99.9% of people will have no problem

[modest mulch]

There are tools to rewrite your drive. I had to do it for Battlefield six myself.

[drifting rock]

If youre talking about MBR2GPT it just flat out didnt work.
I dont have a micro PC build its literally a normal win 10 that was built from scratch using normal parts

You're just spouting assumptions you have no idea what you're talking about XD

HEY WHATS WRONG WITH THE GODAM WARLOCK MAN WHAT THE HELL THE DEV THINK ABOUT THAT THING?? they nerf a lot of thing like the sorc now suck , but warlock can we talk about warlock wtf is that do all the dev play the warlock to keep him so strong like that?? you can get ridiculus will in arena like 61 it make a huge dmg with curse of shit and the bolt of darkness i dont need to talk about that.. then you are able to get in melee with him to kill it , if you can catch him cause you know warlock have like 315 movespeed so ez , and yeah you are happy you think you will kill him cause you know its a spellcaster and no man you just got fuck by one shot crystal sword it make 2 season or maybe more that classs is ruining arena

Once the map closes I think

[main kernel]

played arena for 6 fucking hours today, cant play anymore this weekend so fuck me till next weekend. Still cant wrap my head around disabling a mode that only reqiures 6 ppl to que into..

[spice roost]

ok cool was testing dmg on artifact kit and i killed myself with my own ability and been waitin a few min with nothing yet was gettting scared haha

[daring mortar]

what?

[daring mortar]

is goblin merch fully lvled ?

[lime shale]

Its not guaranteed to give everything no

[spice roost]

from PVE mode ?

[modest mulch]

I don’t know what “normal parts” are but virtually every motherboard built in the past 5 to 8 years offer those features

[lime shale]

Sometimes I havent gotten everything when I died

[oak frost]

Incorrect

[gaunt oracle]

3 minutes after the last player extracts or dies on the map you were on

[main kernel]

what is what about any of that

[modest mulch]

I mean, you saying incorrect doesn’t change the fact that pretty much every motherboard built in the past 5 to 8 years can support it

[gaunt oracle]

PVE mode is 100% recovery from goblin regardless of how you die

[oak frost]

except the ones that can’t? There’s a shit ton of PCs that can’t upgrade to windows 11 even tho the specs are good for this exact reason

[lime shale]

Why does DaD have such high level anti cheat and security in the first place

[modest mulch]

Bro my windows 8 build had those features like what?

[icy plover]

because cheaters

[lime shale]

Kernel level for a medival extractor game with no way to p2w

[modest mulch]

This isn’t anywhere close to the same thing

[lime shale]

@icy plover .

Genuine dont see the point in kernel level in this game

[modest mulch]

This isn’t new technology 😂

[gaunt oracle]

people value the pixels in this game enough to pay for them. when people pay 3rd parties for those pixels, those 3rd parties are incentivized to cheat to earn more money by getting better pixels

[spice roost]

so basically what youre saying is stop panicking and wait 😄

[unreal garnet]

yea they should just make it solid content that attracts real players and just drowns out the cheaters, instead their opting for boof decision

[gaunt oracle]

yeah you're fine, the longest you should have to wait for the goblin is like 25min

[modest mulch]

I agree it’s stupid af but it’s not the end of the world and most people will be able to enable it fine

[lime shale]

Bro active player count hasnt gone above 10k in a good year iirc

Aint no way theres genuine people re-selling stuff

[gaunt oracle]

the african elephant is the largest land mammal on Earth

[lime shale]

I swear its impossible to transfer stuff to other accounts for free too

[gaunt oracle]

game has active cheaters and RMT. they're putting things in place to make those activities more difficult. its a W IMO

[unreal garnet]

they buy stuff. not everyone wants to farm the boof for gear and THEN go pvp, some people just drop $20 for a kit and go. and unfortunately, due to fundamentally boof game deisgn, this is simply how things will be

50% armour pen vs 50% pdr means you ignore 25% pdr
50% armour pen vs 25% pdr means you ignore 12.5% pdr

thats knda dumb, so how much would i need to ignore 60 pdr

[woven widget]

dude are you not understanding how this works
if you want to ignore pdr, get 100% armour pen and their pdr is effectively 0 when you hit them

[daring mortar]

youre sying id need 120 armore pen but that doesnt sound right

[elfin rose]

lol

[woven widget]

no, Im saying that if you hit some guy with 50% pdr with 50% armour pen youre ignoring half the pdr

if you hit somebody with 10% armour pen and they have 50% pdr you ignore 5% pdr

anyone know of any good youtubers i can watch to teach me how to not be ass at this game

[hybrid sequoia]

your boy blinn

[vagrant wraith]

If he isn't participating in the 'stream' and is just part of the 'game' I don't think it counts.

[last solar]

Thanks if im still bad after watchin one of his vids its your fault

[summer skiff]

Anyone know any good videos or streams to watch for team fire colossus? 180 slams killing us and i know there most be some positioning we are not doing right

[gaunt cosmos]

Surely it’s considered participating in the stream when the stream is a tournament and that’s it. Are they just not gonna spectate him or say his name ever?

I could see it though tbh

[vagrant wraith]

So if I am streaming, and partychip is in my lobby and voips to me - I should be banned for hosting partychip on twitch?

[gaunt cosmos]

Entirely different but sure

[vagrant wraith]

Also, suppose I am a nobody but I qualify for the tournament. If I was banned from twitch 8 years ago, does Iron Mace have a duty to background check every participant that qualifies?

[vagrant wraith]

It's not that different though.

[hybrid sequoia]

how did he got himself banned on twitch? I'm out of streamer drama loop

[gaunt cosmos]

Broke twitch tos

[vagrant wraith]

Do you see my point?

[gaunt cosmos]

I tried typing what he did but the server told me no

[hybrid sequoia]

do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

oh

you can just DM then

[gaunt cosmos]

I mean I get it, I just find it funny

[vagrant wraith]

I find it funny you think it's logical to not include him. lol

[gaunt cosmos]

I mean he’s banned on the platform the tournament is streamed on. Is it that illogical to question how that’s able to happen.

[median beacon]

I don’t think you can get banned unless you play with the person that is banned

[vagrant wraith]

The game environment is separate from Twitch.

Once again, I ask - does iron mace have a duty to PROVE who all the participants are and ensure they have at NO TIME been banned from twitch?

[median beacon]

Doubt it

[gaunt cosmos]

Also, I’m pretty sure when you get banned on twitch you’re not allowed to APPEAR in another creators stream. Period. Twitch prohibits banned users from appearing on other creators' broadcasts, meaning they cannot participate in group events, team-based competitions, or be featured on stream.

Happenstance is different from scheduled planning

[vagrant wraith]

That's not how that works.

It's one thing if I put you on my stream and give you a platform to speak and participate with the twitch community you have been banned from, but if you are in a game that game is not beholden to the twitch overlords.

[gaunt cosmos]

No but everything being broadcast from that game to twitch is

[vagrant wraith]

If twitch DOES try to enforce that, then they definitely don't deserve to be the platform they are lol

[vagrant wraith]

I think if they tried to interview partychip then I would agree with you, but twitch does not have the power to enforce who can or cannot play a game owned by another company that is just ridiculous.

Imagine if twitch just decided to ban the rank 1 Counter strike player - that would effectively nuke their ability to play in a tournament.

[gaunt cosmos]

Nobody said he couldn’t play it, just being broadcast specifically on twitch. Doesn’t even have to be dark and darker or gaming at all

[dapper holly]

the game wont send email verification . i cant make aticket either because it wont let me sign in. any idea what to do

[vagrant wraith]

You said
"Banned twitch streamer participating in a twitch tournament. Good job getting chip back on the big screen copper fork"

That implies you don't think he should be able to participate.

Which is moronic

[empty bane]

He can participate he just cant be speaking /broadcasting

[broken patio]

why am I not in the tournament ? im the best here

[vagrant wraith]

exactly

[broken patio]

no kizzy

[empty bane]

I had this happen before, one of the other guys was banned on his personal so he wasnt able to broadcast on the studio channgel

[gaunt cosmos]

I don’t think he shouldn’t be able to, I personally enjoy chip most of the time. I was just questioning the situation because it seemed like a large gray area.

[spark pier]

are they adding new cclass?

[gaunt cosmos]

Twitch will probably be watching closely because I’m sure they still expect iron mace to do their best at not giving him a spotlight

A “good faith effort” if you will

[empty bane]

How long is his ban?

[gaunt cosmos]

Indefinite I thought

[empty bane]

hmmm

Yeah I dont think he can then

[gaunt cosmos]

Ymir and ironmace would disagree

[empty bane]

Is there a cash prize or equivalent?

[median beacon]

Not yet

[gaunt cosmos]

Redstone shards and banner

[vagrant wraith]

If twitch bans force games and tournaments to be unable to stream the existence of a person that is absolute garbage. If the person is banned from twitch it should (and is?) only preventing them from directly communicating TO that community. If twitch banned a top counter strike player for example they would just be permanently unable to compete in tournaments if they were not allowed to broadcast people that were banned, which is stuuuupid.

[empty bane]

Yeah esports has a little bit of an exception

thats why i am asking about prize

[vagrant wraith]

I don't think its that hard of a concept to understand

[empty bane]

Well you are looking for the suspension evasaion policy

[gaunt cosmos]

I feel like counter strike players banned on twitch can’t participate in tournaments. Or am I wrong

[errant isle]

He can stream on YouTube but doesnt. Or not to my knowledge

[empty bane]

if twitch agreess its esports, you can prolly get away with it, if they dont you prolly get a temp ban on the channel thats hosting

[vagrant wraith]

If the ban stops you from communicating to the twitch community and twitch wants to prevent that, they can delete vods or sections of vods in which the person is interviewed or they hosts can avoid streaming those interviews to twitch directly. As far as gameplay, if the mere sight of a banned person is such an offense to twitch they really should not be a popular platform plain and simple.

[vagrant wraith]

I'd be completely shocked and if that's the case, it will only bolster my twitch boycott resolve.

[empty bane]

Ok, I dont really care about the politics or the dumbness of the situation, i'm just saying what the policy is according to twitch

what I would do is talk to twitch before the broadcast and be clear about the situation

[gaunt cosmos]

We all know twitch has had its fair share of “insert word I can’t think of” so I wouldn’t be surprised at all

[vagrant wraith]

Time for all the streamers to get on the youtube band wagon so we can get rid of twitch

[gaunt cosmos]

I’m sure ironmace has reached out, would be dumb not to

[empty bane]

well youtube is just kinda bad about discoverability

I dunno if its improving but historically, twitch has been really good at categorising content

but the youtube infrastructure is much more solid for sure

just the live experience is not on par with twitch

[wind juniper]

it’s 2026 we should be able to say the R word 😞

[gaunt cosmos]

According to Twitch's official enforcement guidelines, users with an indefinite suspension are prohibited from appearing or participating in another creator’s channel

[empty bane]

ye sorry, I am a twitch partner, I should have specified

[icy plover]

Yeah I get called that word in arena all the time

[gaunt cosmos]

@vagrant wraith I’m just going off what twitch’s official policy states and again I should state, I don’t personally care if he participates or not I just thought it was worth questioning based on all the facts

[empty bane]

What did partychip get banned for

[fiery aspen]

wait, I have a slighty red name so I can't punish a dude who tk'd me twice and our other dude once

Thats an amazing feature

[empty bane]

Its great, if you see a red name bro, you can just kill him

[drifting scaffold]

it's pretty hard to get the red name

[empty bane]

its like 2 punishes

[fiery aspen]

I honestly didn't know that lmao

[empty bane]

after tk

[fiery aspen]

And I didn't even tk anyone when I got mine

[drifting scaffold]

definitely more than 2 tk punishes. i meant by downvotes

[fiery aspen]

Someone just thumbs'd downed me I guess

[empty bane]

Downvotes is like 20 or something

tks is liek 2

It might vary from season to season

[fiery aspen]

Thats cool info

thx for letting me know

[empty bane]

but counter it by getting your permas to updoot you every 5 escapes

[wraith badge]

Realmagestreams on YouTube :)

He's currently updating the last couple, but those should still be semi-accurate until the new vids drop

[empty bane]

I personally dont think you should be able to commend people more than once a week per person

[wraith badge]

If so, the commendation should have more weight

[empty bane]

cause if you have a couple of good buddies, you can be a real POS with no punishment

[fiery aspen]

I solo queue so rip until next season IG

[empty bane]

No you can commend 100 people

or infinite per week, just not the same person

[wraith badge]

I just mean, if you're going to limit it to once per person per week, the commendation should have more weight

[drifting scaffold]

idk ive had loads of slight red names give no problem and be fine. its just a caution

[fiery aspen]

Yeah no I never ran into it until today, I honestly just didn't know that was a thing

[empty bane]

No if we play together 20 games, instead of being able to commend me 4 times you can only commend me 1 time that week

[wraith badge]

Currently the only things tied behind it are name colors as far as I can tell

But if they add or have anything else tied to it, you're basically punishing people for playing with their friends

[gleaming roost]

anyone kill a wyvern for me ❤️

[empty bane]

Oh you are actually arguing the whole time for getting boosted by your buddies

[wraith badge]

Current system works fine

[empty bane]

damn my bad bro

I literally just pointed out why the current system can be improved

[wraith badge]

No, I'm saying the way you're arguing has unintended consequences if they tied more to it than just name colors

That also reset after wipes

[empty bane]

Yeah but your friends are not gonna punish you if you accidentally tk them

so you are getting all of the benefit, while not being a nice person

[wraith badge]

Lol, they might

I have some people that wanted a red name and wanted me to down vote them when I could

[wraith badge]

Who said that?

[empty bane]

Sure but then they are doing it because you want them to

If you have a red name you can not report people

you can be freely killed by anyone for no consequence

[wraith badge]

Report people, or punish team killers?

[empty bane]

either

[wraith badge]

Very different things

[empty bane]

you cant do either of those things

[wraith badge]

Do you have proof of the reports?

Or at least know where some is?

[empty bane]

well I havent had a red name for 3 seasons

but you couldnt submit a report with red name even if the guy had jus t a wildly racist name

[wraith badge]

I'd have to see it I guess

Even if you have a red name, you still want people to be able to report rules violations

[empty bane]

for sure

[wraith badge]

Though some say the current system doesn't work, and you have to do it via the website

Which is awful regardless, but at that point the red name definitely doesn't apply

[fresh panther]

Hey guys just wondering if they have added actual pve yet, where i can play with just the homies instead of having to race randoms to everything

[stark roost]

Quick question - Can I wear uniqe items on the arena?

[wraith badge]

Actual pve exists my guy

[fresh panther]

Are there randoms in the lobby?

[wraith badge]

Doesn't make it less pve

You're asking for something extremely expensive without much return, especially on a game that doesn't have a high enough player count to make something like that make sense

What you want isn't pve, it's just a p2p session with the boys

Which is fine, but has issues

[wraith badge]

After the warlords tourney I believe

[urban patio]

Is there alot of people playing this game? Havnt been on in a couple years...

[keen heart]

Secure boot and HVCI? They're chiseling out the tombstone as we speak

[wraith badge]

There's a good amount, but it depends on what you're looking for

Some places are crowded, others aren't

I think atm the average has been 4k-6k

But that's not necessarily based in factual numbers

And that's not representative of the surge in players for specific events

[wraith badge]

It's not that dire my guy

Even as someone who was wanting to play on linux

[urban patio]

Ohh thats not to bad at all, loging in rn and seeing whats new.

[wraith badge]

A lot, especially depending on when you've last played :)

Good time to get ready for the new wipe :)

Could probably even get a few of the cosmetics quests done, or get the demi grind rewards before then

[warped scaffold]

this game is so dea holy

[wraith badge]

Or even the religion rewards depending on if you really want

[urban patio]

I think the last time I played was when they were going through the sue in the begining so a LONG time ago

[wraith badge]

There's so much that's changed, and they're bringing even more changes for the coming wipe :)

[urban patio]

LFG!!!

[wraith badge]

Lol, I totally would, but I'm away waiting on a uhaul to arrive to help move some people 😅

[hybrid sequoia]

spoiler on that: nexon lost

[urban patio]

Good

[wraith badge]

Honestly it's why I haven't tried Arc Raiders yet

[empty bane]

did they have to pay Nexon money or did the appeal work

[fresh panther]

I dont understand your question

[near pumice]

looking to see if anyone else knows if Spectral knight spawns in zero to hero? I spawned in his module at the very beginning of the match and he wasnt there, and the door wouldn't open

[median beacon]

No bosses in s2r

[hybrid sequoia]

no bosses in StR

[wraith badge]

Might will at some point, as it is probably one of the only ways to keep in touch with family over a shared hobby

But I just like Dark and Darker a lot

[empty bane]

There waas a court case, and part of it meant that Ironmace had to pay nexon money, they then appealed that decision, and I am asking if they had to pay the money or not

[fresh panther]

Idk the answer to that bro, why are you asking me?

[hybrid sequoia]

I feel like he wanted to ask me

[wraith badge]

Lol

Well?

[empty bane]

Oh yeah I was gonna tell you they didnt fix pve and it was trash and not actually a server issue, but then I got distracted by the lawsuit stuff

[fresh panther]

Ah i see

[urban patio]

lol yeah

[wraith badge]

What was broken with pve?

[empty bane]

Also they made the pve easier, and the dungeons have been loosing mob density for like 2-3 years so people can rush through stuff without dying

losing

[wraith badge]

Only some of those things are slightly accurate :/

[primal night]

anyone getting disconnects?

[hybrid sequoia]

unfortunate wording on that - frost mountain doesn't throw 37 skeletons and kobolds at you in every singular module, being actually balanced for duo now and GC being balanced for solo with mob density to follow that and ruins being trio

[wraith badge]

Like Iif by easier, you mean they made it to where players shouldn't be getting crossbow bolted to the head from a mob as they load in, then sure

[empty bane]

why not? it was better when all modules were like a nightmare

[hybrid sequoia]

frost mountain was indeed a nightmare if you weren't pve cleric or 2k hours played sweat

[wraith badge]

Not for the health of the game

And that's from someone who did play cleric and enjoyed it during that time

[empty bane]

Anything you are arguing about being for the health of the game is a really awkward argument

All Dungeons had insane density to start with

[vale pelican]

I watch the moon let it run my mood

[empty bane]

and it was good

current pve mode, is make a max resourcefulness kit and avoid everything except the most choice ore/flowers

thats not engaging with the content

[wraith badge]

I mean it's not as awkward as saying they didn't fix pve without specifying what's broken in the first place

[atomic agate]

Why cant i craft higher qual jewlery if my affinity if at 75 with the goldsmith? My stuff bugged???

[lucid robin]

Is the Otto nameplate store exclusive? Any idea when it will return? 😭

[wraith badge]

That may be how you choose to do it, that's not necessarily how others choose to do it

[wraith badge]

No idea, no idea :/

[atomic agate]

been grinding the goldsmith and he is shafting me

[wraith badge]

What quality are you looking for?

[empty bane]

trust me people in here dont read more than a line of text and even that is hard for them

[atomic agate]

ANything higher than green

[empty bane]

Thats not how I do it, thats literally the most effective way to do it

[atomic agate]

I see tons of people crafting stuff and i got him to 75 and he wont let me touch his quality items

[hybrid sequoia]

frost mountain was pretty much main and only offender, ruins were always good and mobs were fair regardless of module density, goblins were always pushovers except for shaman and frost mountain with these nightmarish slowing down skeletons.... there is a reason why there are 2 players on average on HR there

good stuffs start at 100 affinity at least

[empty bane]

You dont remember the first 3 seasons or so

[wraith badge]

Again, only if that's your only plan with it

There's multiple reasons to use it

[hybrid sequoia]

no, not really, I wasn't there during torrent times

only steam playtests and then steam ea launch

[empty bane]

Right but for any of THE people not doing the resourcefullness strat they are just getting a sad hollow excuse of pve

[arctic ginkgo]

Right now if i loose in arenas do i´ll loose all my gear?

[tidal quail]

why is there a notification for shop? did something get added?

[wraith badge]

It's pretty good atm

[empty bane]

Yeah thats what I was talking about, then people were like my pc is slow with these mobs

but we improved optimisation so we should return to terror

[wraith badge]

Again, that isn't correct

I think pve is fine as is currently

[wraith badge]

No

[hybrid sequoia]

it is, tho I sometimes still get surprised by the lack of 20 mobs chasing me upon entering a module, for a duo map, it sure had quartet party density

[arctic ginkgo]

TY

[wraith badge]

Np :)

[empty bane]

you think you are gonna get to loot that chest, or pile or the boss you just killed, maybe that ore, nope here comes resourcefullness man to yoink it away. Also we have no lag on not your kills, so you can just yoink yoink yoink

[tidal quail]

anyone know?

[wraith badge]

Lol, it went from being the worst regarded map to having the water map, and I always thought both were ok XP

[drifting scaffold]

i looked but didnt see anything new/different

[hybrid sequoia]

pretty sure the goal is more players above more terror that would drive them away, tho I am perfectly up for map modifiers affecting stuff like mob density in the future (like twice as many mobs, but half health or so)

[empty bane]

sale on lizardmen on 6 shards

[tidal quail]

yea me either... wasnt sure if I was missing something or maybe they just changed the sale prices?

[wraith badge]

No idea, could be sale 🤷‍♂️

[astral mantle]

The tears of volcano quest is braindead

[empty bane]

Nah we had way more players in the past, it was defo a factor

[hybrid sequoia]

I like water map, I don't like being forced on water map, because its not fun experience for spell cleric at all

TF am I gonna do ar 80% of the map surface?

[wraith badge]

Or twice the mobs, twice the health :P

Or just match modifiers for stuff like s2r :P

[tidal quail]

all the quests are... I've barely left pve this season and I have 3 artifact kits on different classes and only like 2 quests left incomplete

[wraith badge]

Lol, know the limitations of what you can do

Don't let your teammates be not very smart people XP

Because you can't say the I word 😅

[tidal quail]

I word? the one bobby singer likes sayin?

[empty bane]

also have rare mobs just been incredibly rare this season or what

[wraith badge]

Dude, it's fine

I've practiced plenty of things at plenty of times

[astral mantle]

But you can't drop it on pve tho

[wraith badge]

Lol, I don't remember

[tidal quail]

wdym rare mobs

[empty bane]

Yeah thats good that it works for you, and you use it for practicing many things many times, but its also a game mode for people to have fun, and everythign I am saying is making it more fun

[wraith badge]

Grottox, scarfang, etc

[tidal quail]

so? You can buy them lol

[astral mantle]

at 50K a pop so 500K gold for a quest ?

[tidal quail]

ohhh I think I saw someone die to a weird one that confused me at first in crypts one day

I was wondering how I had never seen it lol

[cobalt mango]

any update on wipe date?

[wraith badge]

Not really?

You've just said it was broken, while only identifying a build for farming that you didn't like that isn't even the best build/place to do it because the loot is poorer

Like, high resourcefulness happens everywhere man, it's just a good stat

[strange sage]

Read announcements buh

[warm fable]

read bruh

[wraith badge]

No worries, the wiki lists some of their drops as minor artifacts I think :)

*On the artifacts page

[empty bane]

you just kill them in other modes

[wraith badge]

Sometimes, sure

[tidal quail]

interesting... Im p sure it was in adventure mode, so I wonder what they drop there

[empty bane]

m inor artifacts are rare quality

[wraith badge]

Should be the same as every other mode

[empty bane]

or epic the purple one

[wraith badge]

Epic

Tanglethread trousers comes from the spider in ice caves

Stillmend boots comes from the wolf in ice caves

[tidal quail]

I still find it funny they cap adventure mode loot to epic, as if that does literally anything when multiple game modes cap the gear you enter with there anyways lol

[frail linden]

arena stil purple?

[wraith badge]

The mimic one drops a lantern that lets you see footprints within a certain radius:)

[broken pagoda]

Last weekend of purple then Monday I believe is artifacts

[wraith badge]

Currently #📢announcements

[frail linden]

aitait

[wraith badge]

It allows people to get treasure and loot without it being too much

Lets the free players have something, which I was appreciative of

[tidal quail]

oh THATS what u mean by minor artifacts...yeah Ive seen ghostlight...what other ones are there?

[primal night]

Anyone else gets disconnected after every arena match?

[tidal quail]

wait lemme guess...that weird fairy spellbook?

[slow canyon]

no but not unsual their server are trash

[wraith badge]

I just recommend you look at the artifacts page, I don't remember the others 😅

[wraith badge]

That's a craftable :)

[tidal quail]

ah lol, I just sell most crafting components

[wraith badge]

The books are used to craft other books :)

[tidal quail]

I can't ever really justify wearing purple over legendary...except in niche instances like that lantern for rogues, but I barely touch pvp anyways so lul

[wraith badge]

Spellplunder I think drops from the imp in ice caves

[wraith badge]

It just depends on the gear

Stillmend is nice in theory, but in practicality it's pretty useless

Tanglethread is much better

Same with spellplunder

[tidal quail]

no idea if what Im wearing is bis but it feels pretty good and hits all my pve targets soooo ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wraith badge]

'Tis all one can ask for :)

[tidal quail]

I prolly should be running more resourcefulness tbh

quite annoying when I hit an ore vein, someone walks up behind me to hit the same vein, and they finish first lol

[wraith badge]

Lol, now you know how I feel as a previous cleric main

[empty bane]

Stillmend is good if you are going to hit a lot of piles

[wraith badge]

Can just build more though

[tidal quail]

oh god yeah Ive never touched cleric. I can't stand how it feels

[wraith badge]

That's a use case I hadn't considered

[wraith badge]

You haven't seen some of the builds 😉

[empty bane]

Once you have 3-4 bloodthirsters farming is kind of irrelevant though

[wraith badge]

Lol, I haven't gotten an artifact yet

[empty bane]

free heals and in HR people run away from you

which is nice

[wraith badge]

Lol, might have to run with you at some point

[tidal quail]

ye, the mag healing is nice but I like my ale 😛

I save the mag healing for my gatling lock lolol

[wraith badge]

Lol, heal cleric + the buffs to rez via requiem are good

But ale cleric is also really good :P

[random laurel]

guys, is it difficult to enable Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, and HVCI ? i checked and apparently i have all of these disabled

[timber raptor]

My report numbers turned yellow

[wraith badge]

It can be, but not necessarily

Depends mostly on your motherboard

There's more than a few tutorials out there

[wraith badge]

Well, and a little bit your cpu

[tidal quail]

lol I meant ale bard, but yea clerics just never appealed to me. Ive been enjoying sorc this patch but since I havent left pve much, theres not really any reason to play it over bard when it means having to carry a bunch of lockpicks just to make the game more enjoyable

[wraith badge]

Lol, join pvp

[random laurel]

my pc is like 4 years old

[wraith badge]

And the lock picks part isn't that annoying

[tidal quail]

with the current state of the game, its rlly not worth it

[wraith badge]

Current bard build I have doesn't even use unchained

[wraith badge]

You'll at a minimum need the information I mentioned when you Google it

[tidal quail]

it is in pve, where your runs are capped at around 4k gold and the lockpicks to get there eat up about 25% of your profits

[wraith badge]

Shouldn't be too terrible, but you do need to follow instructions

[random laurel]

thx

[wraith badge]

Not if you farm iron ore man 😉

[tidal quail]

thats silly lol...you're kinda foregoing the only reason to play bard if you're forgoing unchained

[wraith badge]

Lol, I'm really not

The bard build is specific for the fire colossus though

As I don't really play bard, it's mostly sorc

[tidal quail]

just play fighter, and you no longer have to re-buff for all the same base stats

[wraith badge]

Bard has the the highest action/interaction speed

Can't remember which one

[tidal quail]

action. interaction would be rogue

[wraith badge]

Rogue was less actually

I do remember checking

[tidal quail]

that's shocking

[wraith badge]

I was thinking I'd use it to farm, haven't done it that much

[tidal quail]

could've sworn they have +2 res compared to bard

[wraith badge]

I think I was doing water map hr

Instead of druid, though that's more for hiding as a penguin

[wraith badge]

Doesn't make them faster :P

And dude, I play melee sorc, why would I do fighter or bard when they both do a mediocre subclass worse XP

When I get home hours later I can check and let you know if you like :)

[tidal quail]

only classes I've ever really had fun playing are sorc and warlock, but bard is just the best farmer hands down so its what I end up playing the most

[wraith badge]

Makes sense

I'm hoping to learn it to farm the volcano tears

[tidal quail]

youd have to bring a looooot of healing lol

[empty bane]

What

[wraith badge]

5 stacks of potions and bandages enough? :P

Though if I learn it well enough I shouldn't be taking much damage overall

[tidal quail]

that'll do, donkey...that'll do

[astral mantle]

VOlcano tears only dropable in normal+ is so aids

[tidal quail]

some damage is inevitable with the fire

[wraith badge]

Lol, I max out at 3 when I'm playing cleric as I use lesser heal for myself

[empty bane]

Like basically Magma is just dodge/spacing, and dps race at end, just stay on the edge of the circle for the last phase

[wraith badge]

Lol, you're just being pessimistic

[wraith badge]

For sure

[wraith badge]

Not really

I prefer it

Besides, the best drop rate is in HR anyways

That's the only one worth it for the time really

If they've doubled drop rates for hunting loot, and it counts as such, it should be at 20% in hr

Luck might should help filter lower quality loot out

Don't have the numbers on that

[fallen crypt]

buff longsword

[vestal obsidian]

If this tournament was during prime dark and darker it really would've done numbers

[fallen crypt]

prime dark and darker was like a 3 month period king

[smoky elm]

wipe

[wraith badge]

#📢announcements

[lofty gulch]

500 luck used to get you to 40-50% on troll blood per kill so it’s probably worth to run luck into your kit

Once you get it down

[wraith badge]

Probably will then :)

[empty bane]

Is trolls blood unique rarity?

[wraith badge]

Definitely going to try with bard, but no idea how to do it effectively with others yet 😅

[wraith badge]

Epic/purple I think

[empty bane]

seems pretty sick in arena

[versed gate]

does using Nvidia filters gets me band

[wraith badge]

Lol definitely

[wraith badge]

How do you mean?

[versed gate]

like change color from green to pink

[wraith badge]

With regards to the game, and not a camera background?

[versed gate]

yes

[wraith badge]

Weird

No idea though, as conceivably that should just be on your graphics card?

[sand prism]

Does anyone know where to watch the arena tournament? I haven't seen any accounts mentioned in the announcement.

[versed gate]

alr thank u

[wraith badge]

Np, definitely use at your own risk

Modifying game files is a tricky business

[wraith badge]

I think the announcement said more details will come closer to time

[polar iris]

Some of the players might stream but they also have most of the big streamers casting like guild leader, end boss, etc

[coarse star]

the main stream will likely be the ironmace twitch, but they will release more details soon and will be a lot of povs you can watch

[tawny timber]

when more long bow nerfs

[trail meteor]

at first i was bummed to only see like 3 streamers i know in the tourney but then i realized thats a weak mindset and its way more based to have non-(big name) streamers in the tourney. W iron mace

[molten arch]

i pulled a chest , is that worth trading for a tear of the volcano?

[polar iris]

Mhm W

[trail meteor]

@polar iris dyk if anyone will have the spectator mode thing they've had in the past?

would be sick if other streamers were connected as spectators but i could see issues with performance i guess?

nothing wrong with a classic recast

[wraith badge]

Could check prices in the marketplace

[polar iris]

I’m not 100% sure on that one sorry 😸

[broken ivy]

Does magical healing or the vampirism perk increase the artifact zweis healing

[plush aurora]

I forgot where to find it. Whats tavern masters final reward?

[narrow current]

How do you change roles? I wish to see the warlock discussion page

[glacial chasm]

In Channels and Roles you can add all the class channels.

[gaunt oracle]

mag heal no, vampirism maybe. Im told it does, I run vampirism on my BT build, but I honestly don't know if it works. I havent tested it personally

[vestal obsidian]

[lost vault]

My report numbers turned yellow

[fallen crypt]

[radiant zephyr]

servers shit rn for anyone else? game just randomly became a slideshow today

[fierce gale]

[fleet cape]

respectfully who tf are these eu players in tourney 💀

[gloomy bay]

Ik 60 percent of them, the other people ive never seen in my life

[fleet cape]

Never seen a single one of their names besides Chile 😂 I know more names from Asia and that’s kinda wild

[gloomy bay]

What server u play?

[fleet cape]

NA east prime time giga max thick chad of course!

[gloomy bay]

Not surprised

[timber orbit]

good evening, i hope everyone’s having a great day!

[timber orbit]

it’s a green torch! it looks very cool

[gloomy bay]

U2

[boreal imp]

Can I bring uniques into arena now or whats the rules with it?

[fiery pendant]

i believe thats after when arena would usually end, it will stay open with the unquies allowed

[boreal imp]

is it standard up to legendary keep all when die?

[fiery pendant]

right now its up to epic and u keep everything

[boreal imp]

ew epic

[timber orbit]

[lament star]

Are they planning to add more people to the dungeons or no? cuz I feel like the pvp is super lacking and when it is there its usually full geared people not squire kits

[iron wyvern]

I don't getit add who?

[lament star]

Literally just increase player counts for raids

[iron wyvern]

How?

[lament star]

fym how?

Bro they used to have like 20 people for 1 goblin cave run

[iron wyvern]

They just pull people out they ?

[lament star]

Whats the player counts

4k

[fiery pendant]

inventory system cant keep up

[iron wyvern]

I get that you want people, but where are they coming from

[knotty sorrel]

Event sucks ass, killed GK and pulled SK twice and got nothing

[lament star]

Thats awfully low but its simple lower the instances of raids that can be happening and increase the number of players in the a raid and

@fiery pendant They should add a backpack system or a inventory upgrade system maybe a backpack that can only hold a 3x3 starting and when its max level it holds 5x5 of 6x6

[fiery pendant]

i think thats what the lil things at the bottom of the inventory are but i think they need to fix the inventory system internally first

[gloomy bay]

The second theres more than 3 teams in highroller matches it becomes impossible to fight without getting third and 4th partied

[lament star]

Maybe drop it by 5 raids so there can be 5 less raids happening and instead add 2-3 more people per raid or idk go back to the old method of the pre lobby - checking gear so we dont have to suffer with continuous raids anymore

[lament star]

Ay its gonna happen no matter what HR is high risk high reward pvp play smarter engage and if a 3rd party comes have an out and heal then reengage and scoop the loot I mean 1 team leaves the remaining 2 teams fight team 3 comes back finishes off the last team and now you guys have goop

Or maybe just make the maps smaller again I feel like I almost never see people

Big map + same player amount = lobbies feel dead medium map + same player count = decent pvp and pve potential old map felt unfair for quests and pvp cuz it was too small

[iron wyvern]

The only thing IM can do ATP is try to release a banger of an update and hope word of mouth gets a semblance of a player count back. There's no traction anymore. Nexon may have lost but they won.

[lament star]

Idk just my gripe

[strange sage]

Lol.

[lament star]

Well honestly DaD is fun rn I enjoy the updates they did but theres polish needed and needed bad 1st questing feels like its 90% filler rn I feel like I'm doing nothing till I get a quest that gives me rep and some merchants dont even give rep or decent xp so its pointless and I havent had a reason to use the workshops because I can just get gold and buy the item I want at the rarity I want with the stats I want

[gloomy bay]

Yea except the fact that if all 3 or 4 teams are playing smart nobody ends up fighting, u basically have to put urself in a massive disadvantage by fighting first, which i do always since im too bored to wait, i can handle a third party but i dont want a fourth fifth or sixth to arrive

[strange sage]

This

[lament star]

Limit market a little more increase the rewards of using the workshops

[iron wyvern]

You're in an echo chamber man. I love this game, but there's no incentive for new or returning players

[lament star]

This is a fair point but hr maps are the same size as normal maps addint 1 more team or even 2 more wont be that HUGE of a difference you gotta admit lobbies feel super dead with how big the maps are atm

[strange sage]

Remove market and trade
Add quest rewards for artifacts
Buff workshops
Buff meechants

[gloomy bay]

Thats only when the lobby isnt fully filled out, when the game happens where its full with 3 different good geared teams at least, its too much

[lament star]

Keep market but limit it no artifacts ANYWHERE make them SSF only limit gear that can be sold by adding a slotted max so rares can have 1 gem epics can have 1 legendries 2 and uniques 3 those are the gem limits any more slotted sockets and you cant sell it

[lament star]

I mainly meant solo and duos I havent tried trios but assuming its 5 teams I can see it being some decent fun 15 players or 6 teams for 18

But I can also see how that would be WAY too much in some cases

[gloomy bay]

In some? In all cases thats too much xd, for solos its okayish but the way people have started playing recently, so scared and never wanting to fight unless its a third, it also becomes too much

[lament star]

How ever I still stand by the fact that splitting solo duo and trio into 3 different categories is better than 1 big thing make solos have 10-15 people duos the same and trios can be 4-6 teams

[gloomy bay]

Duos is the same csse as trios

[cobalt dome]

can someone buy me the spear lava skin ❤️ im a girl/nugget/CowgirlPigeon btw

[lament star]

Duos doesnt feel fun because it feels like people just going full rares to bully norm lobbies its annoying and weird solos feels way too empty trios again idk I havent played it atm

But its a simple fix by adding seperate player amounts for each queue instead of keeping it per map

when map get bigger so should player count on map

[gloomy bay]

I have to ask this question sorry if it comes across as rude, at what level of gameplay do u play in, as in how much are your kits and do u play hr or normals

[lament star]

Depends usually 1-4k and I do play hr thats not so say I'm crazy and I'm still a returning player so relearning some things

[gloomy bay]

Now i see why you would say that, at your level u might even be right, this is why i think hr should be split into 2, lower and upper

[lament star]

but I play mainly solo and duo and most of the time I complain about them people say "its a trio focused game" and theres a simple counter to that splitting the queues you can easily keep updates focused on trio pvp while also doing small tweaks to help solo and duo pvp feel better

[gloomy bay]

And it should have different standards when it comes to amount of teams and what not

[lament star]

This is 100% a fair thing to say I thing the 2 queues in hr was a great idea because not everyone is running super mega gamer gear or good enough to get it but that also means less people in hr but then you get to the problem of how to balance it so people arent just sitting in the lower end to shit on players instead of playing in the higher end where they should be

[gloomy bay]

Yea exactly, im running 20-30k kits minimum, hell i have barely been running games without running a named lately, when u meet 2 other teams like that, unless u are playing buffball with a healer, its very difficult to come out on top if u fight first

[lament star]

You could limit it to season ranks but eventually everyone playing hr will be in queue 2 and queue 1 will be kinda dead you could limit it by gear but then people would just sit in queue 1 and queue 2 would be dead

[lament star]

See and I'm relearning what stats are even good and what I should be using to build classes with what gear I should take and what gear I should leave so I barely even see 10k gold let alone gear that expensive

But I dont wanna sit in pve for the rest of my life learning I enjoy pvp I enjoy the norms and fighting people

Hell I'm not even sure if I built my wizard right or my fighter right or any class I just try a kit and hope it works because theres NOTHING I can do to help me figure it out like what scales with what whats good for 1 class but weak for another whats better to use for certain classes than other stuff

[gloomy bay]

U are free to dm me any questions u have for building and what not

[lament star]

Chat maybe just maybe adding something like idk a beginners/returning player mode and a guide to help new players understand whats good and what isnt albeit a minimal guide would really help to boost the player counts

[gloomy bay]

Problem is it changes every wipe with gear and what not xd

The fact that theres no tutorial still is insane

[lament star]

Average out time played last wipe with your rank from last wipe to determine if you get into the beginner queue or not menaing people with a loit of time played and high ranks and people with high ranks and not much time get put into the normal queue while people with average ranks and high playtime get put in the beginner queue for a bit and new people or people with average ranks and average playtime get put into it too and make it so at level 20 you get taken out of it

[lament star]

My goat I will probably be doing this

[gloomy bay]

That wont work with current player count probably, id just end up getting a dead game after dead game

[lament star]

Exactly last time I played the game seriously barb meta was club and shield and you could get ms on everything

[lament star]

Thats fair actually

idk I dont do game dev so I'm just spitballing

But seriously a tutorial would be a godsend

running people through new changes every wipe and new players through how to play the video game or the news tab should update with every update(and stay there permanently) so you can see buff and nerfs + changes

[gloomy bay]

I mean theres legit people making youtube videos for that, it wouldnt be hard to ask someone like repoze, vincennt or any top youtuber thats good to make a video and just have the link for it in game xd, or just basic tutorial for hitting

And dodging and what not

[quartz lake]

yo guys, last time I played was like a year ago for like 2 lobby, otherwise it was before the ice map update. Whats the state of the game ? Have the dev finally decided on a course to follow ?

[lament star]

I enjoy the current state of the game cool new additions removed the bad ones but still some bad things and idk

[plush aurora]

ty

[timber orbit]

[gloomy bay]

Sdf isnt the one balancing the game, paul is, its 10x better

[quartz lake]

That kinda answer the question about a course to follow lmao

[quartz lake]

🔥

[lament star]

Sdf would literally only do balance changes to help himself hence why the meme "Sdf is playing (class name) now" when the balance changes dropped

[quartz lake]

Idk paul, but sdf not in charge of balance seems good

[lament star]

Or "Sdf died to too many (class name)" when a big nerf dropped

[gloomy bay]

Yup ikr

[quartz lake]

well just that convince me to install it again lol

i'll try, we'll see

[whole lance]

Is there a rarity limit to gear for arenas?

[ember wing]

limit ends on sunday i believe

then you can use artys

[whole lance]

[strange sage]

graysun gives you a meth laced cookie fr

they taste really good

[timber raptor]

My report numbers turned yellow

[woven widget]

but Im tired

[harsh ermine]

My report numbers turned yellow

[rancid pond]

removing the ability to dm ppl was insane some people need to know how small they are

[timber orbit]

it's unfortunate that it was so widely misused that it had to be removed

i can't congratulate someone on pulling an artifact if i catch it in the killcam anymore

[rancid pond]

nah thats what reports are for

not the players fault they cant chat restrict people like any other game ever

[terse fog]

has anyone gotten an artifact in s2r yet?

[gaunt oracle]

wish granted. chat has been restricted for all users

[abstract hull]

Did @hexed adder Forget america has more than 1 freaking timezone?

[sonic lynx]

<@&988703997378584596>

[strange sage]

they people who cried about it are babies ngl, literally just turn off the setting

everybody shouldnt get punished just because you dont know what a mute button is

[boreal imp]

IF YOU GET BULLIED IN A PVP GAME IT AINT FOR U

[gaunt oracle]

yes. look in reddit for a thread titled "Squire provides"

[strange sage]

we have 2 servers?

[coarse lake]

which bosses drop which artifacts?

[strange sage]

#the-tavern message

[gaunt oracle]

hes talking about the message that graysun posted with timestamps that automatically work for your timezone lol

[abstract hull]

The warlord tournament anmouncement just says America with a time but not timezone lol

[strange sage]

oh, lol

[timber orbit]

i don't really think i remember anybody asking for whispers to be removed, i think they just witnessed the vitriol for long enough to decide for themselves nothing good was ever coming out of whispers

[strange sage]

yeah idc about that, ill just have mad tell me how it went

[timber orbit]

the time listed is adjusted to your exact timezone

[neat mesa]

the times are listed in your local time, they adjust automatically

[abstract hull]

Lol no its not

[neat mesa]

The time is adjusted to whatever time your pc is set to. :D

[strange sage]

yeah it doesnt

he did it wrong lmfao

[gaunt oracle]

good riddance to whispers. nothing of value was lost

[strange sage]

i liked asking to see peoples arena kits ):

[neat mesa]

i believe its working for me o.o, ill check

[strange sage]

if he did it right, all the times would say the same thing

[timber orbit]

my timezone is EST, and the time listed says 2PM for me. if you're in CST, it should say 1PM. so on and so forth 🙂

[gaunt oracle]

whispers were a tool for insecure adolescents to vent their frustrations at seeing other people more successful than them... in my experience

[strange sage]

the pinned message, correct?

[neat mesa]

no, its 3 different tournaments

[abstract hull]

Bro if that was true they would all say the same time and he wouldnt need to list regions

[strange sage]

oh

[timber orbit]

the tournaments go on at different times

[strange sage]

its prolly right then

[abstract hull]

Ah, that wasn't clear

[strange sage]

devs are incompetent tho, i expect the worst

mb

[abstract hull]

"Tournament"

[gaunt oracle]

apologize to Graysun for your mistake

[strange sage]

no graysun is a chump

[abstract hull]

My bad. I took him at face value like a dummy

[neat mesa]

Please stay respectful.

[gaunt oracle]

I agree, which makes it more important to call him out on things he actually does wrong. we dont need to go making shit up\

[strange sage]

what if im also a chump?

[lunar snow]

Is there anyone on staff who can help me?

[abstract hull]

What if chump is short for chumpalicious

[strange sage]

when is twitch drops

[timber orbit]

i am all for calling someone out for something they've done poorly but in a respectful manner

i think the pinned message should be a little more detailed since a lot of people don't even have #📢community-announcements enabled to be visible on their channel list

[abstract hull]

Can't wait to see a solid zero transform druids in the tourney

#mostOP

[reef igloo]

anyone got a link to the warlord tournament? I don't even know where or who is streaming it

[static zodiac]

It’s a single tournament held in three regions

[static zodiac]

It’s gonna be announced when it begins, likelyhood is it will be on twitch

That’s where they’ve held any streams prior

[reef igloo]

thanks man

[cold stream]

DOES LUCK AFFECT HERB PICKING?

[static zodiac]

Actually yeah

[cold stream]

noticably?

[static zodiac]

Im pretty sure it does

[cold stream]

ill do some tests

[timber orbit]

if luck works for it i can personally guarantee you'll be able to tell

[static zodiac]

I got a lot more blues, I’d say so.
Not a big enough margin to give reliable data tho

[static zodiac]

Hello kamera

[timber orbit]

i sent you a picture of my dog check your dms

[short widget]

you guys are getting dog pictures?

[cold stream]

time for 500 luck PvE farmin

muehehe

[fierce gale]

[prime pollen]

the demigod reward is surely an elaborate troll right?

[timber orbit]

it'll be revered in the same light as the ice bottles in a year from now

i still regret not getting the ice bottles to this day, very deeply

[prime pollen]

yeah anything that is only given out once is desired later on. that doesnt make them good rewards then or now

[crisp pelican]

free skin for playing 10 games of high roller

its not that deep

[timber orbit]

the ice bottles are imho the best demigod reward ever

if i could go back in time and pick up any demigod reward i missed i'm getting the bottles over the capes

[prime pollen]

possibly the dumbest thing ive seen in this discord in a while, impressive

[cold stream]

how?

[prime pollen]

simultaneously being dishonest about how many games it takes to get demi while also giving the devs a pass on giving butt skins for demi, pretty bad

[cold stream]

have you seen rating rewrds rates after last patches buff?

p sure you can do it in under 10 games if you min max it

[swift coral]

probably tbh, a timmy i know was getting 1000+ per game easy

[prime pollen]

i shouldnt even be surprised

[static zodiac]

We are all chumps

[swift coral]

in trios too

[static zodiac]

Turtle man hello hello

[swift coral]

[timber orbit]

what's up turt

[crisp pelican]

this is the easiest it has ever been to get demigod and at least its a new cosmetic type, if you dont like it you dont have to use it

[swift coral]

voices of the voidin' it

[timber orbit]

i think the easiest was season 6 when they doubled the AP rate for the last two weeks

[timber raptor]

My report numbers turned yellow

[timber orbit]

and taking downs still gave 100 AP back then as well

it was a crazy time i did my entire demigod grind that season in a day after not playing the entire wipe lol

[prime pollen]

"at least a new cosmetic type" that they will now be selling 40 different versions of over the coming months lol. that is some cope brother. you dont have to be happy about a bandaid skin, you can admit it's no effort trash

[crisp pelican]

im happy im getting anything at all

they arent obligated to give you ranked rewards

[normal bolt]

played the blue maelstrom and when i died in pve it didnt give me my items back

[crisp pelican]

how long has it been since you went back to lobby?

[static zodiac]

You will have your slab of poop and you will like it

[normal bolt]

like 5 min

[static zodiac]

Wait like 20, they last longgg

[crisp pelican]

yeah water map lasts awhile

[normal bolt]

can i go into another match?

[static zodiac]

Yeah

It won’t like override it

[normal bolt]

nice thanks

[static zodiac]

Course

[abstract hull]

its def 3 different tournaments with 3 winning teams

[static zodiac]

Anyone got 2 tears of the volcano laying around? Only need 2 more if someone would be wildly generous and such would be much appreciated 🙂

[glacial chasm]

Do you have any nameds?

[vast karma]

Nope never held a named in my life sadly. As much as I have tried to get one.

[glacial chasm]

Ah gotcha.

[ember wing]

8 tears btw

[vast karma]

Quest is 10 whats your point?

[ember wing]

thats over 400k?

[vast karma]

As wild as that is lol 10 tears is an insane ask for a quest. Wish they'd change that

[vast karma]

Again what's your point? Not my fault jerks decided to gouge the price up because of a quest.

[timber raptor]

My report numbers turned yellow

[ember wing]

mk i see pve farming thats cool

[vast karma]

Nope HR farming for money and I have been buying them. Its actually so horribly boring and annoying to have to try and make this much money just to spend it on these gouged tears that nobody cared about before the quest dropped.

[cyan monolith]

Its bugged

[vast karma]

I swear the players are so intent on killing this game / pushing everyone away from it with the way they conduct themselves its wild and sad

[ember wing]

killing bosses, pve, farming money honestly feel so boring

[timber orbit]

what makes you say that?

[ember wing]

I think its because there is not a real balance the game is just so dead

[long mantle]

@silk pendant what u want bot?

[vast karma]

Yeah fair but the players are a huge part. The way they act and treat others etc its wild. There are worse community's but D&D is pretty bad ill say. Been playing since PT2 and its only gone down hill

[cyan monolith]

I replied to a message but i guess it didnt work

[ember wing]

true rogues barbs on west only

[viral creek]

hmmmmmmm

[ember wing]

on west for solo squishy range classes are unplayable

[timid cobalt]

@hexed adder Drops for wipe start? yes??

[timber raptor]

My report numbers turned yellow

[timber orbit]

they got accidentally added on twitch early so there should be

[cosmic heart]

because of the teamers or the barbs in general?

[warm mango]

where is all the pvp for duos at? what map?

[alpine stump]

ice abyss is so unplayable

[long mantle]

Bot randomly added me so asked what they wanted here..

[ionic fox]

We all know the Asia warlord tournament contestants were fully carried by blue meds

[sour oracle]

[pearl jungle]

Arenas are just complete trash now with the game balancing that's never been balanced. Always a rogue solo pushing a buff ball comp on my team. just unplayable man. ill be back next wipe

[vernal marten]

Are there actual twitch drops or just a lame ahh tourny?

[gaunt oracle]

Lets go asia gamers! Im rooting for Mango, M4, and D2 based on the team name. GO TEAM SOLO ARENA WHEN

[trim meadow]

[gaunt oracle]

yes

[trim meadow]

[gaunt oracle]

[plain elm]

Aight I have no concept for how the market works right now lmao, how many gold coin chests is a deathbloom worth right now? Whats the baseline here lol

Its cryptic to me

[plain elm]

This shit makes no sense man 😔

Honestly, you'd be better off just farming another

Since you seem to be able to farm them pretty consistently

I'm not there with farming to be able to do that, so I might have to ask later, but I digress 😅

Will there be drops during this tournament? My accounts unlinked for a second and I lost where to do the process for it

[wraith badge]

Honestly, it doesn't surprise me

But it also doesn't worry me too much

I'd like the squat, but if I don't get it, I don't get it 🤷‍♂️

I'm behind on the current ap rewards and the religion reward anyways, and I haven't progressed on the other cosmetics quests
