[unreal garnet]

thats what i was thinking. shits about to be so scuffed

[upper sandal]

does resourcefullness still open doors / chest etc faster?

[tropic depot]

hey i accidently left a PVE game. i was testing dmg. then i left without thinking. will goblin send my gear back?

[supple drift]

[echo perch]

ALL THE WORKSHOPS NEED DIFFERENT UPGRADE PATHS. NO ONE WANTS TO FARM WOOD ON PVE IRONMACE. LOVE YOU BUT WTF

[onyx lotus]

lets party for me being the best player in the world

[glacial chasm]

You can wait and purchase the wood if you'd like.

[glacial chasm]

🎉

[echo perch]

So you think this is a good system?

[fast hill]

Kill around 7-8 mobs

[glacial chasm]

Just giving you a different option, that's all.

[slender summit]

a firm lesson in what you think not mattering

[inland hawk]

Does goblin recovery work on normals?

[echo perch]

There is just so much you can do with to add more progression into the game, forcing players into specific POIs or searching for a specific farm drop will make more areas exciting to loot and create actual tension in otherwise underused areas. I'm sure they will change it cuz right now its just really lazy. But quests haven't chnaged so maybe in 2 years

[echo perch]

Yo got me good!

[echo perch]

You could use a firm lesson on how to structure a sentence.

[glacial chasm]

I wouldn't say the wood farming is really a big deal personally, but I agree with being forced to farm specific drops, especially when it comes to timed quests.

[dusky salmon]

did you already bought the new released cosmetic bundle for 24$ ? Make sure to grab it before it disappears from the shop

[slender summit]

care less, you understand the words. that's good enough. keep logging in

[echo perch]

I mean you have do the exact same task of farming wood 4 times for one workshop. Then repeat that 3 more times on all the other workshops. Armoury could be turn in ore, cloth could be turn in sails for one or something like that etc Idk just so much you could do with it

[echo perch]

Keep logging in to what?

[slender summit]

the game you love so much

[wicked kelp]

The amount of logs you need should be lowered. You need like 50 of every log just to max out one thing and no one wants to spend their time doing that much of a side activity

[glacial chasm]

Yeah for sure, it's still a very new system. You could always write something up on what you think would make workshops better and you could put it in the suggestions.

[echo perch]

Are you trying to hurt my feeling what are you doing with your day?

[slender summit]

i'm doing the woman that birthed you

I don't go in there often, if you see something that is against the rules ping a Warden.

Did you know that Aquatic Dwarves are an endangered species? Poachers have hunted them near extinction for their prized ivories. The poor dwarves are nearly defenseless in the open ocean, as their tiny, stout bodies don't move through the water very fast. Join the conservation effort today! For the low price of 100g per HR entry, you can fund a poacher poaching party to help safeguard our precious Aquatic Dwarves.

[toxic yarrow]

i'm sure there is lore about each copy pasta in this server

[cursive herald]

is this game still booty cheeks? is it worth re buying since they took away my account or not

[acoustic pivot]

yes, no

[cursive herald]

like tarkov booty cheeks or just straight booty cheeks

[acoustic pivot]

straight booty cheeks

[cursive herald]

i’ll shell out the 40 bucks for like a days worth of fun

oh okay nevermind

[heady coral]

what is the fame score

[acoustic pivot]

their new anticheat means you probably can't even login

[heady coral]

what does it indicate?

also idk the game feels pretty fun for me

[cursive herald]

they took it off epic and i tried for 5 months to get blacksmith to work but it wouldn’t migrate so my shit is gone forever lmao so this isn’t surprising honestly

[ivory rose]

thank you!

[glacial chasm]

[cursive herald]

thank god ironmace stole this idea instead of Nakwon

[rocky ruin]

yo boys when does the season end?

[glacial chasm]

Fame is all the levels you have earned on that character over the seasons.

[glacial chasm]

Three months from the start unless they decide to switch from three months season, but if they do that I would assume they make an announcement.

[rocky ruin]

aight thanks, when was the start? I just came back after long time afk

[glacial chasm]

April 28th.

#📢announcements message

[rocky ruin]

Thank you very much for all the info! ❤️

[uncut fossil]

how do i split a stack of something like if i had a stack of 3 items but i only wanted to take 1

[verbal pond]

your game broke my pc i had to reinstall everything and i still cannot enter HR

[honest garnet]

Hold alt and drag it to another box

[uncut fossil]

thank you dearly my good sir

[glacial chasm]

[cloud citrus]

did they reset fame at some point? cause all of mine where back at zero when i returned.

[honest garnet]

Npnp

[foggy veldt]

yo are all the casters broke boys? donate to Zorin NOW bro

[glacial chasm]

Hold alt then drag the stack to an empty place, move the slider that pops up to the number you want and confirm.

[dreamy nymph]

which merchant gives better faustian bargain spawns

[foggy veldt]

pretty sure there's a popup explaining this in the stash tab, hard to notice tho

[foggy veldt]

dealmaker?

[azure lark]

Felt everyone who praises the sun seeming poor atm Lets go Solaris

[foggy veldt]

i was thinking of picking solaris but im maining sorc this wipe

[azure lark]

im abusing cd reduction this wipe

[foggy veldt]

did they increase the random modifier value for cd reduction or what?

[azure lark]

not sure i just know that my rogue sneak attack is off cooldown extremely fast and invis cdr is op in my op

[foggy veldt]

u have high base resourcefulness too

[oblique hemlock]

I could find my father before I find this damn gold bowl

[past remnant]

does anyone know what setting to turn down if my frames get shit on for trios?

i run 90 fps normally and it goes to 40 in trios

[glacial chasm]

Cloth simulation could help a bit.

[azure lark]

u doing hr? i got a few already died with em but still got them

[pure wigeon]

I have officially reached my limit. After 67 hours (yes I checked, don’t try to invalidate my experience), I can confidently say this game is fundamentally broken at its core. The fact that a Rogue can simply EXIST in the same lobby as me completely invalidates my entire playstyle. I am a THINKING player. I position. I calculate. And yet I am punished for it by someone holding W and pressing two buttons.

Before anyone says “skill issue,” I want you to understand I have played competitive games for over 10 years. I hit Diamond in multiple titles (not that it matters, but it does). This is not about skill. This is about DESIGN FAILURE.

If the devs do not address this IMMEDIATELY, I will be uninstalling. And no, this is not an empty threat. I already hovered over the uninstall button twice today.

[tidal eagle]

cant say hes not lying but ima just say skill issue to rage bait

[azure lark]

do it it is a skill issue rogue dies to a roll of wet newspaper and i main it

[mellow tartan]

united states canada mexico panama haiti jamaica peru......

[tight maple]

hello, is it normal i have 50/75 fps with a 240 hz?

[lyric spoke]

no

[mellow tartan]

your fps and refresh rate of monitor has 0 correlation...... your spec matters for fps

[lyric spoke]

do i have to be using windows 11 to get the secure boot shit ?

[tight maple]

ok i changed some settings im around 90 now

[mellow tartan]

you can have 600 hz monitor but only get 10 fps if you have poo poo pc

[azure lark]

im running 360fps but ya like he said spec not hz matter

[tight maple]

ow ok

its a 2019 config

[lyric spoke]

im having 200fps with my 10hz monitor bro does enyone know if i have to use windows 11 for secure boot

[mellow tartan]

dark and darker has been having issues for the intel gamers i think... i used to have 300 fps and now sometimes its randomly 40 :)

[tight maple]

ye nvm im arounf 70 fps wtf

[azure lark]

no you dont secure on any pc

[mellow tartan]

i believe windows 10 has secure boot

[uncut fossil]

can the devs maby not require HCVI to play high roller because it seems to cause really unstable fps often and loosing around 10-20% of preformace on all games because one game wanted to be special is really annoying

[lyric spoke]

good i dont wanna use that bugfest shithole windows 11

[tight maple]

im on windows 10 and i can go hr now

[lyric spoke]

is it easy to do

[azure lark]

ive had it on forever and never seemed to notice fps lose in games

[uncut fossil]

are you dumb?

[azure lark]

no i have a legit monster pc

[uncut fossil]

if you have already had the setting on for ages then of course you not gonna notice a fps drop

[tight maple]

i just asked pple in s2r, a guy have 240 hz monitor and like, the 2 of them said they have 60 and 90 fps

is this game just complete ass

[azure lark]

so u saying i can get 400-500 fps in dark then if this drops fps

[lyric spoke]

your report numbers gonna turn white after i come all over your face

[pure wigeon]

[lost plover]

Please keep tavern chat to enlish only.

[uncut fossil]

im saying i never had the setting on previously and when i turned it on my fps started to get really unstable and sometimes it cause me to loose fights or nearly loose fights. i never had this issue last season and this hcvi thing is also effecting me outside of dark and darker because the setting on alone tanks about 10-20% of my cpu preformance

[azure lark]

ahh i have a 9800x3d cpu issues are non existent for me

[uncut fossil]

i dont want to keep disabling and re enabling the setting each time i want to play dark and darker. its very tedious and annoying to do

all just for a nearly 20% cpu preformace drop to. im sure there are better ways to stop cheaters then doing this

[wanton path]

does anyone know which stats new elf race from drops gives

[azure lark]

will and - dex

[empty bane]

-1 agi +1 will

[azure lark]

i thought it was dex

[empty bane]

oh maybe its dex

[wanton path]

+1will -1dex is dark elf

[uncut fossil]

maybe if they add better cheat detection in their game this wouldnt be a problem. like a system that detects illegal moves that wouldnt be possible

[glacial chasm]

Undead Dark Elf, it's +1 Will, -1 Dexterity. It's a reskin of the shop Dark Elves.

[molten iris]

since its ssf, which is best way to make some money, to unlock stash

[empty bane]

ye its an undead dark elf

[wanton path]

lazy

[tight maple]

i have all in low quality

[azure lark]

i like water map

i legit am banking atm

[molten iris]

well im tired of it alr

cant even get to play one more time

[tight maple]

oww i was on epic wtf

[azure lark]

crypts bosses or giga chad pvp

[glacial chasm]

Mining, Herbing, Bossing, etc. There are loads of things you could do to earn money.

[uncut fossil]

also by the way not everyone who plays this game is on a "moster pc". this games requirements arnt very demanding. my friend is able to run this game at over 100 fps on a pc he bought for 75 dollars my currency, which is around 45 usd

[azure lark]

fastest way is water map piles and lions/golds

[azure lark]

ye i was just saying why i dont got the issues i can understand that

[molten iris]

market is not opened yet so most of them are useless

guess i have to go water map again

[tight maple]

direct x11 or x12?

[zealous bay]

My report numbers turned yellow

[uncut fossil]

My report numbers turned yellow

[tough raven]

Water map my goat

[glacial chasm]

Well you can just go for special chests on any map really if you don't want to play water map.

[molten iris]

squire 2 riches make me relize if this game get as much as player it deserves, game will not be playable

[molten iris]

yeah i was thinking of it but castle is full of people and goblin is not has much chest to grind

so water map still be it i guess

[azure lark]

ice is good i think aint been doing it much since water tho

[molten iris]

its free tho, but i dont like water combat

[tough raven]

Don't forget ice map. It's water map but frozen

[glacial chasm]

You could do Ice Abyss.

[uncut fossil]

also how come on the store page of this game it doesnt say anywhere that you need HCVI. this should probably be fixed

[molten iris]

my server’s ice map is full of teaming and rmt

i cant

[azure lark]

i get teaming but they rmt this early is insane

[gilded mortar]

giving away my inventory what wants

[tough raven]

I mean it's kind of the best time to rmt, since the legal market isn't open yet

[glacial chasm]

Have any bowls of soup?

[vivid wasp]

Whatever happened to guild halls which were meant for 2 wipes ago

[azure lark]

u not wrong ye

[molten iris]

well teaming to hit artifact and control all the loots is quite a rmt action for me

[empty bane]

I actually have 3 in the bank

[glacial chasm]

Postponed due to cost.

[glacial chasm]

Hell yeah.

[empty bane]

does it got to be looted for the quest?

[azure lark]

ye

[red plank]

Yo is the hcvi, tpm, and secure boot shi still a thing?

[gilded mortar]

no mostly just empty chest and artifacts ill never use

[azure lark]

ye

[red plank]

Cancer

[azure lark]

ehh less cheater overall that dont know how to bypass it is better

[red plank]

Gang I can't make it work, even though I have changed all of the things 😭

[azure lark]

whats it say

[uncut fossil]

every quest that requires an item can be looted and handled

[red plank]

Enabled virtualization so i can turn on core isolation, enabled secure boot, enabled TPm 2.0

[glacial chasm]

Ah unfortunate, also the Trading Post, and Market aren't out so you can't really give people things if you're quitting.

[red plank]

It just will not work

[empty bane]

nah there were a bunch that were not down for that like huntress and a few of the later ones

[azure lark]

whats the game tell u when try to q hr

[cedar igloo]

where can i find the rubysilver ingot? red stones

[red plank]

Last time I checked it was the TPM and secure boot one

[empty bane]

the golems in ruins

[red plank]

Though I had enabled secure boot and TPM 2.0

[glacial chasm]

It depends really, varies quest to quest, except for Huntress those items have to be looted.

[uncut fossil]

are these the seasonal npcs? cuz i dont know if it applies to them

[cedar igloo]

i killed the red one and i got the blue stones...

[empty bane]

ye all the golems can drop red, orange or blue stones

[azure lark]

hmm im not sure the tpm can be a lil annoying mine was messing up couse was on wrong tpm

[molten iris]

Do anyone think a lobby with 5-6 teams 3 players each 15 in total is good

[cedar igloo]

even the green one?

[empty bane]

if you kill both bosses on ruins you also get an extra loot room that had 4 noes

[spark vault]

Underneath Square A module, ruins

[empty bane]

nodes

[red plank]

Would you mind seeing if you could help me out?

[empty bane]

ye

[molten iris]

everytime i play castle, i feel like therer more players than monster

[cedar igloo]

hm ok thanks

[molten iris]

almost unenjoybale ruin

[empty bane]

if you go down to inferno a few modules there have nodes as well

[forest wolf]

Server down?

[karmic gust]

yes

[uncut fossil]

yes

[unique bloom]

server down?

[worldly badger]

which religion is better solaris or noxulon?

[azure lark]

i could try but not much of help it would be easy if just look up tpm 2.0 for ur system spec if u amd or nvidia and ur motherboard type and secure boot can sometimes be enabled and not working

[glacial chasm]

I would say Solaris, but some people enjoy the interaction for doors and such.

[empty bane]

is this a test?

[red plank]

I mean i did and followed all of it, though it just won't work, it still just says I need to enable TPM 2.0

[tough raven]

This is Door and Doorer, interaction speed will always be BiS

[azure lark]

u might be on the wrong tpm mode

[red plank]

Wdym?

[empty bane]

you can check the TPM by typing tpm.msc

in search bit

[worldly badger]

yeah ive been going solaris pretty much every wipe i just saw nox was higher level so i wasnt sure if that was the new best

[uncut fossil]

if you like pvp go for interaction speed. if you like boss farming go for luck

[empty bane]

or start bar

[azure lark]

that too

[worldly badger]

true true

[azure lark]

do the tmp.msc cmd in ur run bar

[glacial chasm]

Don't use the Luck religion, it's beyond horrible.

[empty bane]

it will tell version number in bottom left

[unique bloom]

too late

[glacial chasm]

Sorry to hear that.

[alpine isle]

where is greathall C

[worldly badger]

yeah 30 luck isnt worth

[glacial chasm]

That religion needs to be buffed, or something. It's awful.

[empty bane]

its the one wiith the zombies

[tough raven]

I mean they fixed luck, but the number is still atrocious. You're better off getting interaction speed even if your only purpose in life is to loot piles

[unique bloom]

forgotten castle 🙂

[red plank]

I mean it says I don't have it turned on and or unavailable since I turned it off, since other games want me to have different normal BIOS settings 😭

[alpine isle]

I meant like where on forgotton castle

[glacial chasm]

Junk luck potions can give up to 80 luck for 50g, it's so bad.

[cloud citrus]

dang, too late

[empty bane]

for example?

[glacial chasm]

🥹

[red plank]

Valorant

[empty bane]

valorant also wants these settings

[azure lark]

so just try and figure out how to enable it and thought val wanted 2.0 tpm ngl

[glacial chasm]

So does battlefield, cod, and fifa.

[quartz arch]

Where am I supposed to get a cockatrice feather? Killed 40 so far in norms and no feathers. In HR its just gas bags.

[empty bane]

I only enabled it on mine because I need it to play Dungeonborne

[azure lark]

ive killed 70 cockatrice no feather its not just u they dont exsist atm it seems

[empty bane]

ye do it in norms or pve

[quartz arch]

So its just yetis tooth 2.0 but worse

[unique bloom]

I got feather twice :/

[empty bane]

I got 3 feathers 1 egg

[azure lark]

im unlucky then longest ive went without seeing 1

[empty bane]

stopped hunting it for now to let other people get stuff

cause on all maps its like 5 guys trying to steal it

prolly should post up as rogue or ranger

[stable minnow]

when we getting some dark and darker stuff in the steam points shop bruh

[uncut fossil]

has anyone been seeing shotgun archers camp the center red stairs on ruins lately 🥀

It says I had the wrong settings though, and I wasn't able to enter games until I changed my BIOS settings back to normal

[cunning thistle]

Bug where when you go in your inventory it stops you? Anyone else?

[frozen cosmos]

Is there any fix to the horrid performance rn lol?
Im literally going down to 20fps sometimes

[thorny ibex]

does anyone know what the new boss drops??

[uncut fossil]

turn off hvci but at the cost of no more high roller

[frozen cosmos]

It did that before i turned it on haha

[quartz arch]

Oh wow, you parried. Congrats. You pressed right click at chest level and the game played itself for you. The longsword turns every mediocre Fighter into a walking “oops I win” machine. Miss? Doesn’t matter. Bad spacing? Doesn’t matter. Brain turned off? Still doesn’t matter. Just fish for a parry and instantly delete someone who actually outplayed you for 30 seconds straight.

[uncut fossil]

yeah that thing just tanks your fps for no reason

[frozen cosmos]

I used to run the game at a steady 80-100fps like two wipes ago now its literally unplayable

[sudden shoal]

how do i enable fuckin enable boot or whatever

[uncut fossil]

the momment i turned it on my fps would just randomly descide to go on holiday especialy when fighting other players so i just imediently turned it off. it also is destroying my fps in other games to so no way im putting it back on. for now atleast

[pure wigeon]

iron hammer are you seriously?...

When the trade routes passing through Blue Maelstrom were first discovered, early sailors used to tell tales about short, round, beautiful women glimpsed beneath the waves. These tales were long believed to be nothing more than hallucinations at sea until the first Aquatic Dwarf female was entangled in a fishing net near the southern tip of Elephant Island.

Well, it was fun guys. 67 hours for NOTHING. $30 for NOTHING. My PC is BRICKED. Black screen, no boot. All because IronFUCK requires me to be a NASA engineer just to play high roller. TPM 2.0, HVCI, whatever the FUCK alphabet soup BIOS ritual they’re forcing me through, and now my PC is just DEAD. All I ever wanted from this game was morbidly pregnant goblin men with big fat cheeks that made plopping noises as the ran bare-cheeked down the wet-walled stony goblin caves. Instead, I have to spend another $3,000 on a new PC. This is the 3RD time this year. Screw you ironmace, you've just lost another customer.

Awl can drop.

If you combat them correctly, you can make it to the pot, while killing the spiders, and smash it. They are one hit spiders, if you do it correctly... When I first started, I died to them, but I learned quickly with help.

wraiths?

do you mean bellows?

[gaunt oracle]

Looking for info on which monsters drop the items listed below. TY for your help
Brimstone, Misshapen Blade Shard, Twisted Abyss Horn, Battle Worn Armor Fragment, Torn Wing Fragment, Seal of Dominion

[raw scarab]

yeh prolly, whatever the thing is that looks like it stokes fires i think?

I get them mixed up cuz the quest needs both lol

[robust dawn]

yeah i got that one already, just need my awl for the quest

[tough raven]

You made up half those items, be honest

[raw scarab]

description on Seal of Dominion says "Magical sigil used by a Demon Overseer" so prolly that

Torn bat wing is for the big bats so maybe torn wing fragment is the lil scouts that they added

[gaunt oracle]

oof, that would make sense since the collector wants 10 🙄
tyty

[tough raven]

Nah they did not run that back

Say sike rn

[raw scarab]

Oh great we get another 10x tears quest again

[glacial chasm]

I am unsure on the brimstone, but the others drop from the new mobs, and the Seal comes from Demon Overseer.

[raw scarab]

they all sound like they're from the new inferno

[glacial chasm]

They are.

[empty bane]

ye they are

bri=mstone is sea map tho

[gaunt oracle]

im sure they are, I'd just like to know which specific mobs they're tied to so I can target farm

[raw scarab]

thought it was tidestone there or is brimstone a mob drop

[empty bane]

wait maybe it was firedeep

pretty sure i got it in pirate inn once

[raw scarab]

I've gotten a horn from the new basic demon enemies i don't remember the exact name of it but it was a white rarity horn

[woven imp]

brimstone is a colectable you can find in the water map at the top right module

[raw scarab]

One single drop point for it is criminal i just checked the tracker website

[gaunt oracle]

fiendlings. there are 3 types and they all drop small horns and "Brand of the Subservient"

[glacial chasm]

Brimstone is water map, has a set spawn location.

[empty bane]

ye my next comment gave the location on the watermap

[glacial chasm]

Sent you a DM.

[raw scarab]

share the info with the class smh

[tawny timber]

TPM 2.0, HVCI, whatever the FUCK alphabet soup BIOS ritual they’re forcing me through, and now my PC is just DEAD. All I ever wanted from this game was morbidly pregnant goblin men with big fat cheeks that made plopping noises as the ran bare-cheeked down the wet-walled stony goblin caves. Instead, I have to spend another $3,000 on a new PC. This is the 3RD time this year. Screw you ironmace, you've just lost another customer.

[tawny timber]

parrying pretty easy for me, but however whenever i try to attack bear attacks it just goes thru my sword

[tawny timber]

dont have to be a nasa enginer to turn on security boot man

[pure wigeon]

Please keep the spam inside of # the-tavern. Thank you for your understanding,

IRONMACE

[manic condor]

true

[glacial chasm]

Yeah I am unsure, I would have to see it, but it can be blocked, and riposted without a doubt.

[tawny timber]

still do think the memory integrity things a bit overkill for the anticheat, that thing hurts my fps man

[marble violet]

Anyone know for how much gold chests go when market opens?

[rapid sigil]

how to play omg why it disconnects

[astral mason]

okay so I changed all the bios and windows settings and I still can't play high roller

great game design Ironfart!

[rapid sigil]

idd

idk how they expect the numbers to grow its 2026 i have to secure boot

and just now many people are coming just to get disconnected and uninstall once again

[empty bane]

does HVCI say its on ?

[steel flicker]

guys does secure boot work for you ?

[astral mason]

Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 say they need to be changed

HVCI is gone

[surreal warren]

my secure boot is enabled, but cant play HR still

[steel flicker]

same for me

[empty bane]

is you TPM 2.0 enabled and HVCI on?

[surreal warren]

yea

[astral mason]

any solution for TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot to go away so I can play HR? i changed the TPM in Bios and Secure Boot in windows

[empty bane]

need to switch on HVCI

also if you did all that and msinfo shows all that

you gotta do a bios update

[main dawn]

I'm fed up with IM's requirements for Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, and HVCI. It's been four days, and I've consulted countless engineers to get HR working, and the conclusion is always the same: I have to replace the motherboard. I'm fed up with IM and SDF!

[surreal warren]

i dont have HVCI but i do have core integrity which is on

[steel flicker]

wtf all of that only for playing HR?

[astral mason]

dumbest changed they have ever made

[glacial chasm]

The new security measures are for HR and Arena.

[azure lark]

na it needs to be for everywhere stop people cheating all together

[surreal warren]

my msinfo says my secure boot stat is 'Unsupported' but its enabled in my Bios, how do i change that?

[astral mason]

okay genius but if no one can play the mode cause they have an old motherboard whats the point in this game

[acoustic pivot]

until people begin to show up and say hr is hacking then i'm in a agreement, but they do owe refunds

[empty bane]

what does it say when you type core isolation in start bar?

[azure lark]

new motherboard they pretty cheap but the issue itself is a hardware issue on ur end

[pure wigeon]

Please keep the spam inside of # the-tavern. Thank you for your understanding,

IRONMACE

[surreal warren]

on

[empty bane]

bios update

[alpine stump]

this agility buff is insane

[surreal warren]

what

[alpine stump]

bards can have 330 movement speed with weapons out again

[azure lark]

gotta update ur bios its outdate or might be to old of a motherboard

[empty bane]

if all your stuff is on, and correct in msinfo and you dont have any errors in your code integrity log, and your windows is not corrupt, you need to update your bios

[azure lark]

so they even with my plate fighter

[alpine stump]

for 5 seconds

[azure lark]

u dont use cdr it would seem

its not that high yet but its the idea

[red plank]

Am I just cooked if the last update was 2017 then?

[azure lark]

65% cdr is insane u cant lie

if u have not used it thats on u

who wants 50 strength yuck

dont need the cap of that

[lost condor]

sry when allready awsered... how can ic get me rewards for S8??

[jovial geyser]

[jovial geyser]

wut

[alpine stump]

[tawny timber]

pretty nice player count rn

[lost condor]

thanks

[unreal garnet]

Boof and Boofer
Chalked and Chalker
Door and Doorer
Stafe and Strafer
call it what you want, but yeah Dark and Darker died a while ago and stays dead 💀 ✌️ 😭

[uncut fossil]

game is not dead bruh 11k players on right now by the way

[slender summit]

all i have to do is say yes and you're defeated

[unreal garnet]

15k players this time last wipe, game has 3 seasons left deadass

[acoustic pivot]

yes

[unreal garnet]

ever since i saw that the ability to sprint was exclusive not just to the fighter class, but to a specific ability too, i knew the game was ripe for the chalking. and tbh seeing the demon skins running around next to the warlock ability demons..... ive never seen a goofier circus

[uncut fossil]

please elaborate

[slender summit]

by saying yes to that person they then ignore what you have to say, thus a crushing defeat on your end

do you understand

[polar tiger]

is luck working?

[unreal garnet]

15k players this time last season, 20k before, 25k two before..... like technically not dead but lets do basic pattern recognition

[uncut fossil]

ok so if your way of winning an arguement is by agreeing with the other person then sure???

[slender summit]

it's not an argument sir

[uncut fossil]

i agree

[slender summit]

that the game is dead

another win for me

[unreal garnet]

yea it is now, they took a year+ (?) to find that one of their dividing constants in the luck equation was "1000" instead of "100".... but its good now!!
some big luck equation that must be, huh.....

[steel forge]

whos fucking idea was it to give rangers explosive shot..... they were already way to fucking op and now you give them this shit wtf holy shit nerf fucking ranger dont make it even more fucking op holy devs dont know how to balance

[tidal eagle]

ive heard enough buff ranger and rouge

[toxic yarrow]

it's fine, remember it's still a WIP being an early access game... for like over 4 years

tbh considering the amount of time that has passed and devs still don't seem to know what to do with their game is wild

[empty bane]

pesti explosive shot is gonna be sick

[maiden quest]

so can we fix door and doorer or are the devs not smart enough?

[jaunty dirge]

Its funny how you run bad gear and no one turns up. gem up some nice stuff and then all of a sudden the chinese numbers players turn up and murder you. So boring.

[slender summit]

so your thought process became it's boring when you lose. got it

[jaunty dirge]

no my thought process is they always know where you are when your wearing good gear.

its always the ones with names like 90834902814 and QUIQUQULALLA

[slender summit]

alright true i give

what they gotta do is take your gear and sell it for american dollars

it's how they stay alive

[jaunty dirge]

Its what they will do

And these devs will do nothing about it and probably ban me from the disc for saying this.

[acoustic pivot]

strawberry tabby has huge assets

[spark thistle]

whats the second boss i should learn after cyclops?

[azure snow]

I'm smoking on that hellish fiery inferno demonic overlord pack. They watered this with the ichor of 42 demon overlords. Shits more acidic than a condensed zombie fart cloud. Goblin, you rip one and it'll burn your togue off, no more Mika Vista. Embezzled with royal rubies so you know the AS on the rip is exotic goblin. This shit straight out of Inferno. Yeah, this that unstable game server explosive shot lifeleaf. This shit is what vanquished the (ghost) king. RIP my liege, for real my goblin.

[timber raptor]

My report numbers turned yellow

[torn jay]

yo where the hell is copper found?

is it just off the golems?

[pure crown]

@torn jay goblin caves

[jagged bison]

does the cockatrice's quests useful? like does it sell anything or what?

[torn jay]

gotcha. ty the DND tracker doesnt have it spawning there and i guess i got unlucky with my first game not finding any

[pure crown]

https://darkanddarker.map.spellsandguns.com/map/GoblinCave-5x5-01-N @torn jay Cave altar, Goblin mine, Goblin town, and the one that looks like goblin town all have copper ore

this site is kinda out dated but they still are there

[slim widget]

Yoooooo been about a year since I played or somewhere around there…..any new classes or is Druid still the most recent?

[rapid sigil]

the connection to the server terminated abnormally how to fix?

[whole arrow]

when next set of quests

[whole arrow]

sorcerer now

[slim widget]

Oh my b I was definitely around for that I just forgot

So sorcerer is still the newest

[timid hollow]

is "Thorn shield" new ?

[whole arrow]

nothing since sorc lol

[slim widget]

Well hopefully the game has gotten some changes it needed now that they didn’t have to worry about making new mechanics and worrying about another class

Answer me this……is cleric still thanos?

[whole arrow]

game is in the best state it has been in a long time, minus the recent security changes, but they didnt affect me

[timid hollow]

Is Thorn shield new? Dropped by Grottox?

[wind juniper]

no just rare

[whole arrow]

for 6 seconds when divine prot is proc'ed lol

[whole arrow]

thorn shield just rare

[slim widget]

Isn’t that the buckler?

Definitely had that on my bard once upon a time for arenas

[timid hollow]

Worth keeping onto it for Market ?

[tidal eagle]

yeah keep it

[novel umbra]

Its so good bro, magic staff and smite im 3 tapping fighters

[crisp pelican]

yes it becomes very valuable because of arena

[tidal eagle]

mini artifact people will buy it for arena

[timid hollow]

OK Cool ty.

Not seen this item before so was surprised lol

[tidal eagle]

pretty rare

[slim widget]

Bro I swear when I first got into the game I was putting people down buffed up and using a staff LMAO

Yeah the thorn shield was nice to have for arenas….cant say I didn’t throw a lot of games just trying to kill someone with the shield😭

[empty bane]

lmao SR and the portals didnt spawn at the end

[crimson pumice]

Is the framerate in the toilet for anyone else?

Is it the demon skin? Whenever a 3 stack of the demon skin kept pushing us, my frames went to like 20

[unreal garnet]

yeeeep

[unborn veldt]

wow this happened to me too

[unreal garnet]

switching voip between party and proximity makes my game freeze for like .2 seconds every time, perfect consistency

[torn jay]

ty!

[broken ivy]

is any one elses performance in ruins really bad

[crimson pumice]

yep it's terrible

[unique bloom]

my computer almost fried black screen with smoke coming out. got super hot. I installed TPM 2.0 i got two versions. one of them is completely gone and burnt. Another one I installed but it detects it but doesnt activate it 🙁 I just want to play HR!!!!!! @hexed adder @proud copper

[trim idol]

[steep haven]

KhalDroGravy you're a scumbag

[whole arrow]

[steep haven]

only way dude can get kills is to pretend to be friendly. Sad, tbh

He just did it to half the lobby lmao

[whole arrow]

lol

[stone pelican]

sup, does anyone knows any way to optimize the game settings or something? Its working worse and worse every season and I have a decent pc (Im coping)

[unreal garnet]

nothing you can do really. they nuke optimization every patch you can get a really beefy pc but then in a year you might at the same problem again

[stone pelican]

yeah idk I've got a 4070 super and the game its still struggling in ruins or when theres more than 6 people in screen, unlucky ig

[timber orbit]

@misty ridge congrats on solo overseer kill

[azure snow]

[empty bane]

what res are you using?

[raw scarab]

Idk if your'e still around but i just got a battle worn armor fragment from Hunter miniboss in inferno, big guy with sword & crossbow

[misty ridge]

thanks! I believe I am the first to upload it on Fighter

[raw scarab]

GT Palvix had one up 3 days ago and SparkyKawa had one up yesterday, gz nontheless i haven't yet managed a kill on him

[azure snow]

Have nivida optimize it for u

[raw scarab]

oh nvm kawa did it on warlock

[misty ridge]

Ah icic

[low delta]

CAN WE OPEN THE MARKET EARLY PLEASE IM BORED OF KILLING SQUIRE

[misty ridge]

wait Palvix uploaded on Warlock too

[marble valley]

Does anyone know if a higher tier of a woodsman axe drops better wood

[misty ridge]

I believe it does

[marble valley]

Oh ok ty

[raw scarab]

Really? Its not just increase in interaction speed like the pickaxes?

[whole arrow]

hey guys can someone lmk why the "lava" in hell is just grey and white squares? i can show a ss to further explain if u want

[raw scarab]

Is there any evidence for that you can link

[misty ridge]

Somebody had it on a spreadsheet. Might be wrong tho

[raw scarab]

Bet i'll see if i can find it

[marble valley]

Or I’m guessing high roller and luck have better drops than normal too

[stone pelican]

native 1920x1080, tried lower res but it just destroys the UI, looks horrible and the fps are not that different

[gaunt oracle]

tyty

[empty bane]

no with your gpu you are actually bottlenecked at 1080

go 1440p

[timber orbit]

my subscription notifs popped off for me

[supple drift]

which class is the king of bossing? dont say warlock. I despise warlock.

[misty ridge]

me

[supple drift]

im thinking if it's sorcerer because sorcerer can deal stingray and lich.

[misty ridge]

I can deal with Stingray and Lich

[supple drift]

as what class?

[misty ridge]

fighter

[supple drift]

i see

[toxic yarrow]

just tried sorcerer after a long time of hiatus...

don't remember that class being so fucking powerful

so far it's the only class i have played with that can one shot most basic enemies, even barbarian needs two for the most part

[gray fog]

Are they gonna remove this file editing you need to do to play high roller or should I leave for another season

[raw scarab]

most basic enemies in ruins take bonus magic dmg so it makes it feel rlly good

[toxic yarrow]

oh wait they do? i haven't done ruins, basic ones i have tried the class on is the mountain...

if i can one shot mountain enemies then ruins won't stand a chance

i managed to fit seven spell merges in my build, 2 of them are the one shot hits

[raw scarab]

Yeh skeletons in general take bonus mgc dmg iirc

Goblins & Kobolds take slightly reduced?

sorc is also weird cuz there's specific elemental resistances that apply too

[toxic yarrow]

i was so hesitant doing sorcerer at first because i have been playing physical characters but i'm really loving sorcerer so far

[raw scarab]

https://darkanddarker.wiki.spellsandguns.com/Monsters

On here you can see all monsters weaknesses

[toxic yarrow]

kobolds are some of the ones i did need more than one attack

skeletons didn't stand a chance

[toxic yarrow]

negative percentages mean resistances, right?

[cunning agate]

Why the hell would my account get temporarily banned for investigation after almost 8k hours of playtime? Didnt do anything fishy since im a playtest 1 guy but we done now i guess? Been reading storys about some unlucky communication issues as well with the support. Thats chill

[raw scarab]

negative percents mean they take bonus dmg

-17% magic resist = +17% dmg taken

[toxic yarrow]

👀

[raw scarab]

The fire ice lightning earth all apply to sorc spells as well

[broken ivy]

what happened to performance bro my frames are so low now

[toxic yarrow]

when it doesn't mention the resistance, does it mean it takes neither increased nor decreased damage from the attack?

[raw scarab]

yeah if nothings listed its just 0%

[forest mortar]

יש פה ישראלים שרוצים לשחק ביחד ?

[bright sun]

is the only weapon that wins halberd now?

can i just not use any other weapon

[ionic seal]

When did they change that? Used to be opposite...

[main dawn]

I'm fed up with IM's requirements for Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, and HVCI. It's been four days, and I've consulted countless engineers to get HR working, and the conclusion is always the same: I have to replace the motherboard. I'm fed up with IM and SDF!

[raw scarab]

No idea, i just know all? skeletons take 22% bonus phys dmg & 17.2% bonus magic dmg

[toxic yarrow]

and take extra fire damage on top

[nimble sonnet]

how do you give a suggestion or you cant give a suggestion to the devs

[languid thorn]

this games public lobbies have such low energy for an extraction game like holy shit people are so low energy and dont use their mics

[fleet cape]

best spots for arcane essence? 🙂

[bright sun]

baby turtle

[topaz knot]

yo anyones game saying to enable secure boot but you have it enabled already? does anyone know the fix?

[lime hinge]

bro why cant i go into duo's with just myself ? it pops up find a party bs

[uncut fossil]

buy a new pc

[topaz knot]

i have a modern pc lol and secure boot works for league its just an ironmace issue

[lime hinge]

anyone know how to join duos as a solo player?

[tough raven]

Have you enabled HVCD?

[stray nexus]

7k hrs in game....I updated the BIOS, installed Windows 11 (I had to add registry entries to bypass the TPM), and after several attempts to access the BIOS and uninstall drivers, I managed to enable HCVI and Secure Boot. Now I can't enable the TPM, the Trusted computng option doesn't appear, and all the answers I've found indicate that I need to buy a new motherboard or add an external memory module, components that aren't available in my region. Do you know of any alternative solutions, since the developers aren't responding to inquiries?....The mother is a Z97-HD3 / i5 4690K 3.50 GHz./rtx3090

[lime hinge]

[tough raven]

HV See deez nuts lmao gottem

[indigo field]

All Rogue players should be banned from S2R, prove me wrong

[lime hinge]

new update game is 99% rat rogues

[steep haven]

I feel like the new rogue gameplay is pretty easily countered

[uncut fossil]

has anyone else noticed how the table in the lobby is just a giant version of a round shield. i only just realised that

[visual nacelle]

#📢announcements message cant anymore

[steep haven]

Pretty stoked they seem to be doing "TLC's" for the classes. I feel like Wiz needs some love next for sure

[uncut fossil]

this is game changing

[steep haven]

Would be r e a l l y sick if they fixed the issue of just dropping stuff after alt tabbing

[tough raven]

They've considered it, but they thought it would make you too powerful

[analog pendant]

Where do you get jewelry now outside of traders? Where do they drop?

[steep haven]

I don't want more power necessarily. it feels pretty good right now, but more options would be cool. Different ways to play it type deal. I feel like it kinda gets outclassed by the sorc

[steep haven]

I think they want you to craft them for the first two weeks lol

[steep haven]

oh lmao I just realized which of my comments you replied to 😂

[gaunt oracle]

rusty key room in ruins and crypts

[uncut fossil]

just finished getting all my twitch drops 😄

Congratulations on the -1 dex skin

[uncut fossil]

thanks i cant wait to use it

[steep haven]

I have such a saucy loadout on my wizard rn and I know the second I spawn in I'm gonna die to some bs

[analog pendant]

Cockatrice still drop jewelry?

[empty bane]

no

only rusty key room or crafting

[analog pendant]

Jeez

[empty bane]

but crafting is very cheap

[uncut fossil]

i have so many saucy loadouts i wanna use but i cant play high roller

[empty bane]

and requiires no rep at first

[tough raven]

You're dead to pve, I guarantee it

[steep haven]

I know 🙁

[raw scarab]

I was wondering if it was only key room, i got lucky enough to find purple jewelry for my ranger in pve while doin questing earlier

[analog pendant]

Goldsmith right?

How tf do I get blue and better jewelry now

[steep haven]

Goldstein

[raw scarab]

Yeah you use the arcane essence to make green jewelry to start, at higher affinity he lets you make blue / purple etc

[empty bane]

ye but its also a rusty key room

[craggy oxide]

yo 2 fuckin weeks of ssf is crazy. make it a week max

[gray fog]

Yeah I’m not doing changes to my pc to play a game I own. They need to revert this

[static zodiac]

WORST SSF

HOW WILL I RUN MY IRON BUSINESS

[hidden estuary]

can anyone help me with HVCI?

[craggy oxide]

bruh its literally people wearinng a kit with similar stats than me but doing 8x my damage while i only tickle them?? like wtf

[hidden estuary]

I cant play HR and im confused, this option is not in my control panel

[static zodiac]

yeah check if you have virtualization enabled friend

Go to task manager, cpu

[craggy oxide]

bios. not control pannel

[static zodiac]

Scroll down, virtualization is probably off

[hidden estuary]

im way too high to be in my bios

[static zodiac]

If it’s off go to bios, advanced

Then turn it on

Then In windows security you will be able to turn it on

There is a written guide on the dark and darker website

[hidden estuary]

The guide takes you to the microsoft website, which shows you a control panel thats "optimal" and does not explain any further, thats why im here.

[static zodiac]

Check and see if you have virtualization on

[craggy oxide]

yo can any knight tell these devs to get rid of this fuck ass 2 week ssf. i have 50k but nun to spend it on and rng so bad i only pull gear for opposite fuckin classes

[analog pendant]

2 weeks ssf = gem economy for 2 weeks

[hidden estuary]

id just like to point out, that its great that you are here and asking me things I dont know.

But this is wildly, unoptimal. People who work 60 hours a week dont want to have to edit their BIOS to game

[static zodiac]

Balance feedback:

title: “I don’t like ssf”

“Paul, y u do dis, I need market pls..”

[tough raven]

Just work less lol

[static zodiac]

It is hard to help people sometimes when they have this attitude rather than asking “oh what does virtualization mean and how can I find it” /:

[compact shuttle]

fastest way to farm gold waterpot (green)?

[static zodiac]

I didn’t decide on this feature keep your aggression away from me

[hidden estuary]

I wish this was an option, i got 10 guys who depend on me. I digress, this is off topic.

[static zodiac]

Again, you can check in task manager, details, cpu, scroll down. Check if virtualization is turned on @hidden estuary

[craggy oxide]

nah-

title "SDF + Paul = btards"

"get rid of this bs 2 week ssf"

[steep haven]

My hot take is that ssf is the best part of the season lol

[analog pendant]

Are mystical gems worth running?

[static zodiac]

Yes

[junior bronze]

you could also type msinfo32 into windows search, scroll to the bottom and check if "Virtualiztion based security" is running. If not you'll need it enabled it BIOS or UEFI (whichever you have)

[analog pendant]

Think I’m gonna save them up from running troll and sell in two weeks

[static zodiac]

you cannot sell these items anymore

[analog pendant]

They upped the spawn rate a bunch

[hidden estuary]

it is not.

[analog pendant]

Damn.

[static zodiac]

Alright, do you know what BIOS you have?

[hidden estuary]

No.

[static zodiac]

Okie dokie.

Hit windows key, type run the enter.

Type dxdiag in the window text field

Windows will give your specs, your BIOS version should be labeled under “BIOS”
Lmk what it is

[hidden estuary]

FEa.

[static zodiac]

Do you see anything like HP, Acer, DELL, ASUS

any brand names, or you could send me a screen shot, all it is, is your system specs

[simple aspen]

would be so cool if all key rooms dropped 1 jewelry

[static zodiac]

Agree tbh

[empty bane]

I think the current way is really cool

[simple aspen]

does old rusty key in crypt also drop it or is it just on ruins

[hidden estuary]

No, its an Asus. But, I would like to point out, that while you are trying to help me, and I accept your comment -

I play video games in my spare time, I'm an agriculture guy by trade, i grow food and cash crops. This is a wild thing to think is normal in a declining playerbase. Ive been here since PT3

If any DEV sees this, you are wildly wrong to think anyone has the attention span to go through what I am trying to learn and figure out.

[static zodiac]

Just ruins

[simple aspen]

that's ass

[hidden estuary]

cheating is wrong, but this is insane, and i thought Highguard was bad.

[main dawn]

I'm fed up with IM's requirements for Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, and HVCI. It's been four days, and I've consulted countless engineers to get HR working, and the conclusion is always the same: I have to replace the motherboard. I'm fed up with IM and SDF!

[tough raven]

It's the standard for far more casual games like Call of Duty, Battlefield and League of Legends. You're the one that is wildly wrong.

[empty bane]

I hear the cheaters dont need those settings to paly

play

[hidden estuary]

I dont play any of these games, so the point is null.

[tough raven]

You were never part of the point

[hidden estuary]

you have a kappa PFP, anything you say is wildly invalid.

the only downgrade you could achieve is an anime girl

[fleet cape]

........ bro is cooking

[tough raven]

Ad Hominem already?

[fleet cape]

i aint reading all that

[tough raven]

What's even funnier is that I have the Kappa pfp and you're the one trolling

[hidden estuary]

Brother, I work 60 hours a week in AG. I shouldnt have to change my BIOS to play a game.

[solid egret]

its a 2 minute change lil man

[tough raven]

Then don't.

[static zodiac]

I understand you completely.

I don’t work with computers, I do carpentry and maintenance this isn’t my thing, I had to go through a bunch of guides to figure out how to do this, and as a knight I want to make sure other players don’t have to go through that kind of struggle.

Anyways, it appears you’re using ASUS.

I think the bios key is either Del or f12, spam it while your computer boots to get into the bios screen

If you see a simple screen, press F7 to go to Advanced Mode

Go to the advanced tab (may or may not be labeled system config

Then look for one of these:
CPU Configuration
Processor
Advanced CPU Settings

Enable virtualization

Depending on your CPU it will be labeled as different things.

Intel CPU

Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x)

AMD CPU

SVM Mode

Save and exit

Press F10
Hit Yes

[versed elk]

I have spent hours trying to get all of these things done to play high roller and I am no closer. This is depressing

[ornate spire]

I cant attack or or block but I can move and jump and fumble in quickslots. Does anyone else have this issue or had it before?

[solid egret]

erm this is too helpful and high effort for the tavern 1 sentence rage bait only please

[hidden estuary]

many games have died on launch requiring people to do this, if you have a keypipe to the devs, you need to let them know.

Believe we had, 4 games die this quarter on launch? strictly because of this.

Thank you, I will reset and try this, I can access my Bios.

[static zodiac]

I have let them know in the small way I am able.

I am not a fan of this feature, it dropped my frames severely

[fleet cape]

It might be a good idea to figure out exactly which motherboard you have and then find a guide for your specific board/bios

[tough raven]

strictly

[empty bane]

bro only like 20% of accounts are legendary, and of those only like 10% are affected so we are talking less than 5% of the playerbase

[sharp prism]

Well, it was fun guys. 7k hours for NOTHING. $30 for NOTHING. My PC is BRICKED. Black screen, no boot. All because IronFUCK requires me to be a NASA engineer just to play high roller. TPM 2.0, HVCI, whatever the FUCK alphabet soup BIOS ritual they’re forcing me through, and now my PC is just DEAD. All I ever wanted from this game was morbidly pregnant goblin men with big fat cheeks that made plopping noises as the ran bare-cheeked down the wet-walled stony goblin caves. Instead, I have to spend another $3,000 on a new PC. This is the 3RD time this year. Screw you ironmace, you've just lost another customer.

[hidden estuary]

I can ask a variety of questions

1. Why are you such a douche? (PFP explains)
2. Would you like to discuss this? (likely not)
3. Offer to fly you out and get you off your computer and spend a day with me in the real world and my company
4. Bash ur face m8

I like option 3.

ill send you first class if you accept

[digital gale]

guys where to get rusty key? golem ? I assume

Is it in America? I don't visit fasczist hellscape

[hidden estuary]

i can meet you anywhere in the world, you truly never know who you're talking to on the internet.

if you have a destination, DM me.

[empty bane]

wait

[tough raven]

Timor-Leste

[hidden estuary]

just curious why someone would be such a complete and total douche

[empty bane]

are you having trouble playing hr solotrollonly?

[hidden estuary]

oh yeah.

[empty bane]

but you can afford to fly this guy any where in the world first class?

[fleet cape]

brother i felt bad u couldnt play hr but now i just think you're prettttttyyyyyyy weird

[urban wind]

Based

[hidden estuary]

Done, DM me your details.

[fleet cape]

like??? 🤣

[tough raven]

Send me your credit card number first please

[languid thorn]

seems pretty weird

[urban wind]

Oh the classic rich guy on the internet who can beat anyone up and will private jet you out to fight

[hidden estuary]

i never said this?

[urban wind]

Your beefing with Batman

[languid thorn]

brother you just seem weird as fuck

[hidden estuary]

Thats okay

[empty bane]

idk spend the time and energy actually setting pc up to play hr

[tough raven]

I'm not beefing, I'm having a giggle. He's just making it way more funny.

[empty bane]

money if need be, cheaper than first class

[urban wind]

Ik im just trolling lol

[hidden estuary]

this is actually hilarious and an appropriate response

[languid thorn]

if youve got the money to fly someone out youve got the money to buy a new pc so

get to buying

[hidden estuary]

I'm cheap with myself.

[tough raven]

But why not complain in a discord server instead?

[languid thorn]

remember as you said youve got 10 men depending on you so go farm those high rollers for them

[fleet cape]

can apparently make a lot of money and own a company but can't follow a youtube guide to play hr is crazy

[languid thorn]

right? it sounds more likely he depends on 10 men to keep him going

[fleet cape]

how are u in charge of literally anyone if u cant work a computer big bro get a grip

[languid thorn]

oh hes grippin we know that much

[tough raven]

He could always hire 10 men to set up a PC for him. That's still cheaper than flying me to Timor-Leste

[hidden estuary]

Oh wow, internet bullying, better cut my wrists guys!

Asking anyone to do this is a wild ask, didn't highguard just die as a small reason? Normal people dont want to edit their bios to try a game. Saying this for the future of DaD.

[fleet cape]

highguard died because it was fucking horrible

[languid thorn]

[hidden estuary]

100% but the internet reviews had an inkling of this, people complaining about this exact thing.

[tough raven]

Nono, it's true. Kernel anticheat was the only reason it died. That's why Valorant is also dead.

I'm fed up with IM's requirements for Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, and HVCI. It's been four days, and I've consulted countless engineers to get HR working, and the conclusion is always the same: I have to replace the motherboard. I'm fed up with IM and SDF!

[forest wolf]

Bf6 has the same thing

[languid thorn]

womp womp get a better pc

[hidden estuary]

never played, I'll do what was suggested to me, but im not gunna sit here and act like this is a "normal requirement" to enjoy something you've been playing for years.

[main dawn]

I don't have enough money in the short term.

[fleet cape]

what year is your motherboard from.

[ornate spire]

I cant attack or or block but I can move and jump and fumble in quickslots. Does anyone else have this bug?

Yea true, took me an Hour to set it up..

[tough raven]

It's pretty much the worst thing a company has ever done to me. I had to restart my PC TWICE!? The audacity!

[fleet cape]

brother TPM 2.0/HVCI have been out since 2014/2015 respectively wtf kinda board are you on

[hidden estuary]

yeah because this is a very normal thing to think.

[forest wolf]

Not everbody knows what a bios is or how to unistsll conflicting drivers

[tough raven]

If you're a big enough nerd to play high roller in a niche D&D based video game, the Venn diagram is pretty close to a singular circle

[hidden estuary]

right? I feel like im in the minority even knowing the lingo and what it is.

[languid thorn]

thats why we have google Dan

[forest wolf]

Fair, but you have to admit it’s kinda a bummer to do

[hidden estuary]

Yeah man, the dark and darker + microsoft page didnt have guidance because apparently my 2021 PC is OOD, I had to have someone explain the BIOS setting to me to enable it.

Which again, is fine but the average person is gunna look at this and just walk away.

[zealous geyser]

Any guaranteed golden chests in goblin caves?

[tough raven]

It is, mostly because HVCI has been known to cause FPS drops. Cheaters are also kind of a bummer, though. Since mainstream casual games have been doing it for a while now, it's not exactly surprising that Ironmace is doing it.

[hidden estuary]

people cant even stop fucking scrolling on their phones all day, you think theyre gunna google how to play a videogame? You're nuts.

[forest wolf]

But if it works in the end, and we can play the game free of cheaters - good

[languid thorn]

then let them because clearly most people arent just walking away dan because its pretty easy to enable

[forest wolf]

But is it that good? Is it working?

[hidden estuary]

You're absolutely trolling right now

[forest wolf]

I really don’t know

[drifting scaffold]

buy a console

[languid thorn]

game has same peak and number graph as it did in the past season so 😐

[tough raven]

It definitely did work back when Valorant first implemented it. Since then, cheat creators have obviously adapted quite a bit. It is a perpetually losing battle, but you kind of have to try.

[hidden estuary]

its down 9% i have no idea why you would even say this

Season over season its dropping, we are all here because we are losers who cling to a great concept.

[languid thorn]

comparing it to the trends from january to now its the same peak and fall off that the last season had

not to mention it even hit a higher peak at the start this season

[hidden estuary]

two seasons ago had a 21k peak, no?

im not pulling data.

[languid thorn]

January of 26 hit 11.37 this season hit 11.781

its the same trending fall off as well at the moment

so nothing looks different for retention as of yet

and?

They havent had a 26k peak since 2024

[hidden estuary]

lets be real with eachother, the game is not gaining playerbase. Its the same 20k of us flopping around because we cant let go

[mild sage]

I bricked my pc

[stray nexus]

@proud copper @rugged kettle 7k hrs in game....I updated the BIOS, installed Windows 11 (I had to add registry entries to bypass the TPM), and after several attempts to access the BIOS and uninstall drivers, I managed to enable HCVI and Secure Boot. Now I can't enable the TPM, the Trusted computng option doesn't appear, and all the answers I've found indicate that I need to buy a new motherboard or add an external memory module, components that aren't available in my region. Do you know of any alternative solutions, since the developers aren't responding to inquiries?....The mother is a Z97-HD3 / i5 4690K 3.50 GHz./rtx3090

copy past every 10 mins doesnt make them see it

you want them to see you arent happy stop playing

Wait, is k9 not shitposting? I was sure it was a joke

[honest garnet]

You gotta go convince skinnypete then he will make them do it

[languid thorn]

yeah he has been every like 10 mins

its kinda like when @lost plover said "Mods are always here" yeah right xd

ban the copy pasta

[hidden estuary]

remember when the chat was so flooded, we had 1 hour time outs?

Game is dying, the BIOs installation doesnt help. This will be my last mention of it, I'm happy that i was able to recieve help and do it. But if the last of us don't see it, thats a problem for a game I truly love.

Also, @tough raven I used to live in Pyeongtek, i DMed you. offer was real.

Have a nice night boys, and thank you for the help @static zodiac

To all the brave warriors of Dark and Darker currently having a full emotional collapse because you had to spend 45 seconds changing a Discord bio, enabling TPM, turning on HVCI, and configuring your PC so anti-cheat can do its job… cry me an entire inferno dungeon river. You people will spend 12 straight hours theorycrafting rogue builds, editing config files for 3 extra FPS, watching 40-minute gear guides, and arguing over stat rolls like your bloodline depends on it—but the second Windows asks you to click “Enable Security Features,” suddenly it’s “literally unplayable,” “privacy invasion,” “my freedom,” and fifteen paragraphs of public suffering in general chat. And now somehow every channel has become your personal support group, filled with the same copy-pasted meltdown about TPM 2.0, HVCI, kernel anti-cheat, secure boot, BIOS settings, and how changing your Discord bio is apparently equivalent to storming Normandy. At this point the goblins in the caves adapt faster than some of you. If you can survive getting third-partied at extract, you can survive opening your BIOS once in your life. And if your contribution to the community is spamming the same copy pasta 30 times instead of spending 5 minutes fixing your setup, maybe the anti-cheat isn’t the thing that needs updating.

here we go seens how its allowed here :0

[junior bronze]

Did you just ask chat gpt to roast the Dark and Darker discord or what?

[languid thorn]

I asked for it to give me a copy pasta that included dark and darker content so that it worked within rule number 5 and talked about anti cheat stuff lmao

[devout grail]

Can someone help me understand the logic here?

Why are TPM 2.0 / Secure Boot / HVCI required for normal High Roller and Arena, but not for Squire Royale—the PvP battle royale, trio-forced, one-team-takes-all mode?

That mode forces constant PvP and pushes everyone into a small circle just to survive and extract. It’s zero risk with everything to gain, and it’s where cheating matters the most. Yet it’s wide open, while I’m blocked from playing normal HR that I actually enjoy.

This change to HR just doesn’t make sense. Revert this stupid change and allow me to play the game I so desperately love and been playing since p2.

이거 로직 좀 설명해 주실 수 있나요?

왜 TPM 2.0 / Secure Boot / HVCI가 일반 High Roller랑 Arena에는 필요하지만, PvP 배틀로얄 형태의 3인 강제, 한 팀만 살아남는 Squire Royale에는 적용되지 않나요?

이 모드는 끊임없이 PvP를 강요하고, 살아남고 탈출하기 위해 모두를 작은 원 안으로 몰아넣습니다. 리스크는 없고 얻는 건 전부라서 치터 영향이 가장 큰 모드인데, 여긴 그대로 열려 있고 저는 제가 더 좋아하는 일반 HR은 못 하고 있습니다.

이 HR 변경은 전혀 말이 안 됩니다. 이런 어이없는 변경은 되돌리고, 제가 정말 사랑하고 계속 플레이해온 게임을 다시 할 수 있게 해주세요.

[junior bronze]

It was pretty accurate lol

[languid thorn]

all I did was include the anticheat features, dark and darker content and has to follow tos lmao

It has been over 3 days since the new high roller requirements have been implemented. The amount of sadness I feel is Immeasurable. The pain and suffering I feel right now is indescribable. The terrible agony I feel is incomprehensible to any living organism. The amount of despair I feel is unstable, unbalanced, deranged even. I truly can’t live in this world if I can’t play my favorite game dark and darker. I’m so miserable. I can’t take this suffering I’ll do anything to play dark and darker again.

To every self-proclaimed hardcore veteran of Dark and Darker having a public meltdown because the devs asked you to do the absolute bare minimum—change your Discord bio, enable TPM 2.0, turn on HVCI, maybe check Secure Boot, and spend five whole minutes in your BIOS so anti-cheat can function—please cry me an entire Inferno river. Enough tears to flood Goblin Caves and drown every skeleton in High Roller.
It’s honestly amazing watching people who call themselves “PC enthusiasts,” “IT professionals,” and “competitive gamers” suddenly become helpless the moment Windows security settings enter the conversation. These are the same people who will spend 12 hours farming gold, tweaking config files for 3 extra FPS, overclocking hardware, reinstalling drivers at 2 AM, and arguing over stat rolls like their bloodline depends on it… but clicking “Enable Memory Integrity” is where your journey ends? That’s your final boss? Not rogues at extract. Not barbarians one-tapping you. A BIOS menu.
And instead of quietly fixing it like an adult, half of you turned Discord into your personal therapy session. Every channel is the same copy-pasted essay about “privacy,” “kernel access,” “malware,” and “government surveillance,” as if enabling security features that have existed for years is some dystopian nightmare. Meanwhile you already run RGB software, driver suites, overlays, launchers, mods, and half the internet on startup—but now this is where you become a privacy activist? Please.
And the bio change? Some of you act like editing one line of text under your username is equivalent to signing away your firstborn. You’ve spent more time typing essays, reposting copy pasta, and farming sympathy than it would’ve taken to enable TPM, flip HVCI on, reboot twice, and be back in the dungeon. At this point the goblins adapt faster than some of you. If opening your BIOS causes an identity crisis, maybe the anti-cheat isn’t the thing exposing weaknesses here.

To every self-proclaimed hardcore veteran of Dark and Darker having a public meltdown because the devs asked you to do the absolute bare minimum—change your Discord bio, enable TPM 2.0, turn on HVCI, maybe check Secure Boot, and spend five whole minutes in your BIOS so anti-cheat can function—please cry me an entire Inferno river. Enough tears to flood Goblin Caves and drown every skeleton in High Roller.
It’s honestly amazing watching people who call themselves “PC enthusiasts,” “IT professionals,” and “competitive gamers” suddenly become helpless the moment Windows security settings enter the conversation. These are the same people who will spend 12 hours farming gold, tweaking config files for 3 extra FPS, overclocking hardware, reinstalling drivers at 2 AM, and arguing over stat rolls like their bloodline depends on it… but clicking “Enable Memory Integrity” is where your journey ends? That’s your final boss? Not rogues at extract. Not barbarians one-tapping you. A BIOS menu.
And instead of quietly fixing it like an adult, half of you turned Discord into your personal therapy session. Every channel is the same copy-pasted essay about “privacy,” “kernel access,” “malware,” and “government surveillance,” as if enabling security features that have existed for years is some dystopian nightmare. Meanwhile you already run RGB software, driver suites, overlays, launchers, mods, and half the internet on startup—but now this is where you become a privacy activist? Please.
And the bio change? Some of you act like editing one line of text under your username is equivalent to signing away your firstborn. You’ve spent more time typing essays, reposting copy pasta, and farming sympathy than it would’ve taken to enable TPM, flip HVCI on, reboot twice, and be back in the dungeon. At this point the goblins adapt faster than some of you. If opening your BIOS causes an identity crisis, maybe the anti-cheat isn’t the thing exposing weaknesses here.

As someone who hasnt played in a while. Doesnt squire royale just enable the chuds with 5k+ hours & no job to just pubstomp the noobs with no real risk or downside? How much better is the HR loot?

[buoyant fable]

guys has the game improved at all i havent played in over a year

[languid thorn]

I mean Im a returning player and Squire has been alot of fun there are for sure some sweating chuds in the mode but its far and few between

[pure wigeon]

I have officially reached my limit. After 327 hours (yes I checked, don’t try to invalidate my experience), I can confidently say this game is fundamentally broken at its core. The fact that a Rogue can simply EXIST in the same lobby as me completely invalidates my entire playstyle. I am a THINKING player. I position. I calculate. And yet I am punished for it by someone holding W and pressing two buttons.

Before anyone says “skill issue,” I want you to understand I have played competitive games for over 10 years. I hit Diamond in multiple titles (not that it matters, but it does). This is not about skill. This is about DESIGN FAILURE.

If the devs do not address this IMMEDIATELY, I will be uninstalling. And no, this is not an empty threat. I already hovered over the uninstall button twice today.

[languid thorn]

I havent put a ton of hours into HR to test the loot differences but ive got atleast 1 tab of uniques so its decent 🙂

[main dawn]

Because the update from a few days ago has become junk.

[tough raven]

The downside is that bossing is way harder with 17 dudes up your ass

[languid thorn]

for wackadoos

[main dawn]

SO?

[languid thorn]

usually I just b line it to gold chest with the lock pick perk and then go to the special rooms 🤷‍♂️

[pure wigeon]

Well, it was fun guys. 67 hours for NOTHING. $30 for NOTHING. My PC is BRICKED. Black screen, no boot. All because IronFUCK requires me to be a NASA engineer just to play high roller. TPM 2.0, HVCI, whatever the FUCK alphabet soup BIOS ritual they’re forcing me through, and now my PC is just DEAD. All I ever wanted from this game was morbidly pregnant goblin men with big fat cheeks that made plopping noises as the ran bare-cheeked down the wet-walled stony goblin caves. Instead, I have to spend another $3,000 on a new PC. This is the 3RD time this year. Screw you ironmace, you've just lost another customer.

[main dawn]

I'm fed up with IM's requirements for Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, and HVCI. It's been four days, and I've consulted countless engineers to get HR working, and the conclusion is always the same: I have to replace the motherboard. I'm fed up with IM and SDF!
We must continue our protests until the SDF relaxes its requirements for Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, and HVCI, and compensates Bluestone. They must listen to the players.

[tough raven]

Sure, but that's not stomping noobs. Noobs don't even know where those rooms are.

[languid thorn]

yep and thats whhy I say its a toss up because id say im a noob but going to these rooms/areas I find lots of fights and most are rewarding

I would say the only hard part is the "win" reality I get plenty of loot out on the first 2 floors, third floor is usually the real gamble

but also I like the new join a team feature if my party dies I can just swap teams

Really? Crying over a silly copypasta in the tavern? Come on man, that is absolutely pathetic. If you want serious discussion, channels exist for that. Trying to put down other users because of your own personal (and bad) taste is just a show of your poor character and low iq. Why else would you seek to degrade and put down your fellow man? Jealousy? Envy? I can't read your mind, but its probably one of those two. Using ChatGPT to make your posts is a further showing of your low intellect and drive. How about you step away from the computer and your silly little AI bot and take in some fresh air outside. Maybe read a book, solve a few puzzles, get your brain working again. Then you can come back here as a respectable member of the community instead of some low IQ hateful person that only drags this community down.

[languid thorn]

Ah yes, here comes the white knight philosopher of Dark and Darker, descending from the tavern rafters to defend… spammed copy pasta. Nothing says “high intellect” quite like writing a five-paragraph psychological evaluation because someone mocked people crying over TPM, HVCI, Secure Boot, and a Discord bio change. Apparently I’m the emotional one, yet you just wrote a manifesto diagnosing jealousy, envy, poor character, low IQ, AI dependency, lack of sunlight, and cognitive decline… all because somebody laughed at players treating a BIOS menu like the final boss of Inferno.

And the “channels exist for serious discussion” line is adorable, considering half the tavern has been flooded for days by the exact same recycled crying about anti-cheat, “muh privacy,” “kernel access,” and “this is tyranny.” But the second someone claps back, suddenly you’re the guardian of community standards? Convenient.

As for the ChatGPT jab—my brother in Christ, you’re playing a dungeon crawler while writing Reddit-tier psychoanalysis in Discord. This isn’t a MENSA meeting, it’s a tavern full of goblin farmers, gear hoarders, and people who think K9-Sanlier is a technical authority because he discovered copy and paste.

If enabling TPM, turning on HVCI, changing one line in a bio, and reading a little satire sends this many grown adults into existential crisis… then maybe the anti-cheat isn’t exposing cheaters nearly as efficiently as it’s exposing fragility. But by all means, write me another dissertation—Inferno still needs kindling.

[honest garnet]

Sry I tried to read your post but it was quickly replaced by a nonsensical shit post and I lost my spot

[vale crow]

You got that out pretty quick, sounds like someone is still relying on their AI boyfriend for their rebuttals. Sad!

[languid thorn]

and you're right using chatgpt can lower someones critical thinking but uh when idont wanna read some bull shit its easier to toss it in and let it respond 🙂

[gaunt violet]

IF this isn't a copy pasta then yeah, kind of reasons why I just block these gamers. I do not have time for the toxic behaviors and would rather them spit their venom at the wall. I got a bosses to kill and dungeons to clear LOL

Their existance on my gen chat screeen becomes irrelevant and I continue to game on.

Anyone who talks this much about blocking ppl definitely clicks on the "1 blocked message" when it pops up

[languid thorn]

I think you might be illiterate sir if you read that from my statement

[vale crow]

I think my well crafted message to you proves my intellect. It is more likely you don't know how to read or write, since you rely on chatGPT for your messages instead of expending even a single braincell of power

So what am I supposed to do if I have secure boot enabled in my bios but when I try to play HR that's the only thing it tells me to enable

[ripe nacelle]

weep

[keen arch]

[wintry gazelle]

any chance of reverting HR requirements??? cant secure boot without updating all my efi boot and dont feel like it

have they said anything?

[uncut fossil]

do you have your boot mode set to UEFI and cms is turned off?

[static zodiac]

🫡

[keen arch]

Boot mode is set to UEFI. Do you mean CSM? Looking in CSM, it appears I can disable it, it was enabled

[uncut fossil]

disable it and also make sure you uefi is not set to legacy mode but im pretty sure it will already not be in legacy mode

[oak frost]

is there a bug for playing HR? not letting me in i downloaded the TPM / secure boot shit already

[keen arch]

Will give that a try! Appreciate the help brotha

[oak frost]

it says unlock requirements
