the-tavern

[gaunt depot]

for how long we been asking for it im just glad they finally doing stuff people been asking for forever. if they need 2 weeks idc. W

[errant isle]

Lol

[pearl cedar]

It’s still 3v3 just you can only solo or duo queue

[mild canyon]

is that their competitor or somethin?

[formal otter]

"Flex" is a weird name. Solo/duo arena is big win, can't wait for that.

[stable minnow]

i read that wrong thats horrible

[sonic heart]

Lmao, he is probably one of those payers who farm HR and loot the piles with 6 others, claiming that "Ignoring" is not "Friendly encounter"
You really got to him.

[errant isle]

1v1s? Can we get a warzone gulag type thing going where our friends can stand above us in game too watching us fight?

[tacit cloak]

Read again.

[low sky]

With these devs they would somehow create a new cancer strain in the patch notes and delay the cure by 4 hours

[errant isle]

Haha, probably

[thick star]

good choice fossure but im sure it could be done faster

[devout grail]

Day 15 without High Roller…

I’ve officially adapted to Squire Royale life.

I no longer ask:
“Should I save this gear for HR?”
because deep down I already know the answer is:
“lol”

Now I just extract gear, place it lovingly into my stash, and watch it slowly become a historical artifact while I queue back into default kit battle royale simulator.

Ruins still spawns both empty boss modules.
Crypts still spawns its empty boss module.
At this point I’m convinced they’re only there to emotionally damage me on purpose.

Meanwhile the only actual boss left is Demon Overseer in Inferno, hidden behind enough nonstop PvP to qualify as a federally recognized stress disorder.

Please revert the TPM / Secure Boot / HVCI change so HR can come back and my stash can stop being a museum gift shop.

[mild canyon]

for reals, im glad they are moving away from the "you need friends to enjoy the game" ideaology

[lethal edge]

Absolute w update for arena

[sonic heart]

Big dub on arena mode

[mild canyon]

squire to riches is so fucking fun bro

[empty bane]

is it no arena for another 2 weeks

[pearl cedar]

Done. And?

[acoustic breach]

big fan of the arena changes

[vernal venture]

Will arena be ssf

[sonic heart]

Why can't you play?

[vernal venture]

?

[mild canyon]

i kinda miss normals when it was commons only entrance or up to epics - would be cool if they were optional modes for normals or maybe came around seasonally

[errant isle]

No

[acoustic breach]

do wish we got a halberd nerf already

[mild canyon]

cause i have soo much epic gear bis that just collects cobwebs in my stash

[vernal venture]

So fucking lame broo arena should be ssf 😭

[lapis birch]

Ooooh solo arena damn

[karmic cypress]

Motherboard from 2012

[errant isle]

Would be nice

[finite flicker]

delay

[mild canyon]

they oughta add another two handed weapon after the halberd nerf 👀

[empty bane]

is solo arena gonan be just 1 v 1 or will it be 1 v 1 v 1 v 1

[gaunt depot]

i am too but after asking for it since arena first came out, 2 weeks seems like nothing in comparison so im not complaining as long as things stay moving in a positive state tbh. no ones ever putting out another equally good crawler so im just happy things are looking up

[vivid wasp]

Just delete arena bro

[sonic heart]

Ouch, yeah that ain't going to cut it.
tbh, it might be time to upgrade that anyway

[mild canyon]

is it 3v3v3 rn?

[lapis birch]

1v1v1v1 would be ffa

[mild canyon]

its probably just duels

[vivid wasp]

It will be Wizard farming everyone else

[sonic heart]

Mosh pit simulator

[mild canyon]

its gonna be fighter, warlock and wizard and thats it

[empty bane]

doesnt he just get blinked on a cut throat

[mild canyon]

never my goat cleric being meta sighh

hashtag new cleric perks & skills please

[vivid wasp]

Yea with the unmissable throwing knife into 24 sec nothing

[mild canyon]

i mean wizard is like 295ms-300ms

youd have to have full throwing knife perks

arena players surely can weave

[hybrid sequoia]

should be solo/duo and sweat que

[main gate]

did anyone actually want solo arena

[sudden dew]

They like to copy terms that dont apply to them to appeal to audiences

[hybrid sequoia]

majority of players play arena solo

[wraith fulcrum]

im glad about the tpm shit, that make me quit the game for good

[mild canyon]

i wanted it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sonic heart]

If there is one feature i want in this game, just an option to allow my inventory to autostack vertically instead of horizontally.
It doesn't really make sense that it does it horizontally, since most items are taller than wider. Because of this, i always fill my inventory from top left and down, not top left and right.

[main gate]

with a team

[mild canyon]

no like.. solo

[hybrid sequoia]

oh you think it'll be a 1v1 and not random vs premade?

[main gate]

you cant queue solo btw

[hidden whale]

no crash fix?

[main gate]

yea thats what it means

[empty bane]

yeah you can

[main gate]

u can already queue solo on arenas

[mild canyon]

how would we know yet? it was just announced

[hybrid sequoia]

I really doubt it

[edgy topaz]

I thought this was dark and darker, not arena and arenaer

[main gate]

because you can already queue by yourself....

[smoky plinth]

was arena ssf last time?

[wraith fulcrum]

is tpm and tpmer

[empty bane]

all the sweats loudly and constanlty WE NEED ARENA OPEN

[sudden dew]

Its a queue where solos and duos stop crying about getting slammed by premades. Theres no 1v1's or 2v2's

Stay in school.

[empty bane]

imagine half your dev time each season is on ARENA thats only open at weekend

[main gate]

no it isnt lmaooooo they would never add this, crazy reach

[mild canyon]

im talkin bout people who want to play arena solo without worrying about randoms or even people who just enjoy a duel gamemode

[sudden dew]

0/10 sarcasm

[empty bane]

shit all the new quests came last night?

[mild canyon]

and probably only half the playerbase even play arena too

[next flint]

i think its just a non premade queue but still 3v3

[empty bane]

20% or less

[sudden dew]

It is, hes trolling lol

[main gate]

you can already queue without premades btw

this is something you can already do

[mild canyon]

maybe - i do think its more when its not SSF as they can just buy the gear

[languid quartz]

what a dawwg sheet arena idea

[mild canyon]

but you probably right

[empty bane]

yeah but only legendary accounts can play arena

[mild canyon]

ohh of course

[empty bane]

also all the people getting hyped for arena havent realised they cant use their cheats this season

🙂

[mild canyon]

LOL

nah i think people still cheat

[wraith fulcrum]

xd cheaters gonna cheat tpms not matter

[steady jolt]

real

[mild canyon]

hopefully just less - but ive seen atleast a couple clips

[sudden dew]

"Something you can already do" yeah and now it has its own queue. I guess maybe it really is just a reading comprehension failure. Thought it was a troll

[empty bane]

You can really tell the difference between HR and SR in regards to cheats

[wraith fulcrum]

surely you cant emulate a tpm right?

[languid quartz]

another fortnihgt before arena all the people will be gone ffs this game has some spztics at the helm

[wraith fulcrum]

xd

[sonic heart]

This game has a bit of a personality disorder. We got loot and extract, a "battle royale-tournament hybrid" and a arena last-team-standing mode
Whats next? Capture the flag? King of the hill?

[mild canyon]

alot more in HR? i never really play HR i wouldnt know

[empty bane]

If you can surely emulate tpm I will see you in HR next game broski

[mild canyon]

theres alot of horrendous teammates in SR but overall its very very fun

[edgy topaz]

Yup

[wraith fulcrum]

why i gonna emulate it? i just stoped playing xd

[edgy topaz]

I guess they lost their identity in the lawsuit

[wraith fulcrum]

my pc is too bad to do something xd

[empty bane]

No, very few cheaters in HR now, only seen like people comms cheating/screen sharing

[empty bane]

ok, if its so easy though, you can just do it and play

[sonic heart]

And teaming, lots of teaming

[mild canyon]

to be fair its easier to add gamemodes to a functioning combat system rather than risk imbalancing the game by changing or adding combat mechanics

imagine they added like 5 new weapons - they would either all be OP or completely fucking useless

[wraith fulcrum]

xd for what to get my account banned for emulating tpm? for that i just then i stop playing

[empty bane]

5 GOLD INGOTS?!?

RU SERIOUS IRONHAMMER

[mild canyon]

i kinda understand why they havent added them in a while but it would be cool

[empty bane]

Oh, what happens to the cheaters who do that? I dont care if people cheat if they are swiftly permanently hardware banned afterwards

[mild canyon]

oh thats peak, maybe im not coping when i shout "holy shit hes just cheating bro" when i die in squire royale xD

[ripe hazel]

does hr overseer have same mechs as reg?

[empty bane]

bring on TPM/Secure Boot/HVCI for all modes

[sonic heart]

Yeah true, but for a game about loot, not giving me more reasons to loot makes me sad, its my favorite part about the game.
I am a hoarder loot goblin by nature

[mild canyon]

to be fair i chalk it to my FPS when i see something sus

[mild canyon]

thats very reasonable

[wraith fulcrum]

xddddddddd

[empty bane]

Squire royals hase esp, auto aim etc

[mild canyon]

what hardware wouldnt be able to do those anyway?

[sonic heart]

A motherboard that is old af.

[neon kite]

Can we craft spec bags with the new quest?

[mild canyon]

my ESP is that my fps goes from 49 to 26 when a team is near 😎

[sonic heart]

LIke from before 2018

[empty bane]

lmao

[mild canyon]

im not even joking i just call out "yo a team is near a birdie told me" to my team xD

[empty bane]

are you in a team using ping

cause ping destroys fps also

[mild canyon]

like the pinging feature?

or my lag/ms

my PC is a bit of a pile of shit in some aspects but it only suffers in SR because of the sheer amount of players near me

[main gate]

do you really believe they would split the queue up in a dead game for something that does not matter at all

[mild canyon]

"dead game" im crine

[empty bane]

what they are literally making 1 v 1 and 2 v 2 queues

[silk star]

HOLY f just died with viola +1 add cuz got griefed and time ran out GGS

[jaunty brook]

day 29 we have new league at poe 2

F arena

[languid quartz]

iron mace probably fked up somthing now their palming it off to 1v1 and 2v2s

[main gate]

also btw the fact that theyre adding "duo arenas" also literally just means it is 2v2s

because if its duo arenas and solos are allowed to make it a 3v3 then it isnt duo queue

[hallow cobalt]

making us wait for arena is fucking stupid

[bronze spear]

its not gonna be 1v1 and 2v2 bro xd

[main gate]

yes it is lol

[bronze spear]

its just solo queue

[empty bane]

no

its 1 v 1 and 2 v2 and 3 v 3

[main gate]

think about this real hard

[ornate ermine]

nobody cheats in SR ???

[languid quartz]

everyoone should take iron mac eemployess with how bulsheet it is

tag*

[empty bane]

you havent see anyone cheat in SR?

[frosty sleet]

no its not lol

[pearl surge]

I honestly whole heartedly support this decision, it combats Meta and people just teaming with friends.

Now the combinations of teams and classes will differ, there wont be direct meta playing and anyone you get should be good since theyre vanq3.

[bronze spear]

you guys are hoping for it to be 1v1 and 2v2

[ornate ermine]

lmao if you think ppl are cheating in S2R ur just a max level timmy like lmfao

[frosty sleet]

not the patch that i was hoping for

[bronze spear]

but why call the trio flex then?

[hallow cobalt]

solo/duo queue means you can only queue for 3v3 arena, as a solo (paired with 2 other randoms) or duo ( you and a friend with 1 random)

[bronze spear]

exactly

[empty bane]

For the upcoming Arena Season 2, we will be adding a new separate ‘Solo/Duo’ Arena queue and leaderboard, along with extra rewards.

[bronze spear]

there will be no 1v1 or 2v2 arena XD

[rough garden]

People flock to meta

[velvet moth]

Honestly I wouldn’t be suprised if there are some closet cheaters in there, the loot is insane in hell.

[sonic quest]

people cant read these days

[ornate ermine]

"the loot is insane in hell" lol, lmao even

timmies in here man

[languid quartz]

this is a leaug eof legends flex que thats normally dead in a popular game

[velvet moth]

I’m not a Timmy

[sonic quest]

too muchb tiktok

[empty bane]

no bro there are like 6 cheat engines for DAD and all of them only work in Norms/SR now

[velvet moth]

I’ve pulled 3 artis so far from skull key pile in s2r

[ornate ermine]

yeah they wan the purple s2r gems, not the 9% artifact chance from HR bosses

[ornate ermine]

tpm is placebo, secureboot aswell. all of it can be bypassed ezpz

[empty bane]

BRO, they want to win

its all they have in life

[velvet moth]

Holy yapfest

[ornate ermine]

nobody is cheating in s2r ur js shit

[velvet moth]

keep yapping

[north summit]

yea buddy ,yap yap yap, keep goin bro we're close

[empty bane]

check this guys account, most obvious cheater I have seen

[rough garden]

I guarantee you there are like what people cheat in every game

[ornate ermine]

ur frying me

[ornate ermine]

yeah but its not every single lobby like HR somebody is just str8 walling

[velvet moth]

This the type of guy to run fighter with a rapier

[empty bane]

bros on another level of cope

[ornate ermine]

aye keep typing "want to rat in HR" in LFG lil b ro

[empty bane]

next patch bring tpm, secure, hvci to all modes

[ornate ermine]

its literally placebo

[velvet moth]

Ok quote one time I’ve said that yeah you can’t

Yap yap

[empty bane]

You can literally feel the difference between the modes lil bro

[ornate ermine]

tf u mean

[velvet moth]

Tpm hvci secure best change they have added in a long time

[empty bane]

play Hr trios little bro, then do some sr little bro

[ornate ermine]

all of that is for kernel level cheats

[velvet moth]

I feel for players that are locked out cos old boards though

[empty bane]

I dont you need a board thats like 12+ years old

[velvet moth]

U sure you even been in a hr lobby you sounding very Timmy like

[ornate ermine]

you can literally run internal cheats with 0 risk

[velvet moth]

Like intel 5th gen or older roughly yeah

[bronze spear]

everyone who spends a lot of time in this channel is a timmy

[empty bane]

yes you can still run DMA cheats, for which you need 2 pcs

[bronze spear]

thats just how it is

[empty bane]

but thats a limited number of cheaters

[velvet moth]

Finally some logic

Can this piro noob stop yapping now

[bronze spear]

u dont even need 2 pcs anymore

[empty bane]

also I dont lose to cheaters, I just know they are cheaters because they move like they have esp

[tidal eagle]

add a way to crush gems into arcane essence

[empty bane]

with the extra performance requirements you would need a monster pc

[spare lily]

which leaderboard plays in the tournament

[main gate]

why would a dedicated duo queue have a solo, this would make no sense, it is 2v2.

pls think critically

[crystal pagoda]

Disable requiring secure boot for hr and arena dawg

That shid bricked my pc

[empty bane]

nah we good ChoJuan

[main gate]

no it didnt lol

[bronze spear]

its the BfBB speedrunner 🎉

[sonic heart]

Did it just keep botting back into the BIOS?

[north summit]

i doubt they are adding 1v1s and 2v2s
2 more arena queues across every region sounds like something they are NOT doing

[crystal pagoda]

It made it so I didnt get video

[main gate]

it would make more sense then whatever everyone else is describing

[north summit]

it just sounds like u have queue to play against other individuals and duos instead of a duo and a solo vs a in comms trio

[main gate]

there are plenty of games that add 2v2 and 1v1 modes

[north summit]

ok but we are talking about start of wipe 15k players, and 90% of them are in 3 regions
are we really trying to add 2 MORE queues for every region?

[brittle pecan]

Is arena still coming out Friday or has it been delayed

[main gate]

yes, both ideas are bad, both ideas split the queue

[static trail]

when trade

[north summit]

yea but 1 splits it into 2 queus, and the other splits it into 3 PER region

[main gate]

they could also just not split

[clever agate]

Are we going back to braindead patches?

[low sky]

Peak d&d going from 15k to dropping back to its couple thousand prisoners as usual

[main gate]

both are bad, nobody fucking cares about fighting premades its a completely normal experience in games

just be better idk

[north summit]

how could they not split the queue, when they are seperating 3 man premades vs duos and solos. the queue has to be seperate or nothing changes lol
its literally just normal arena Q

[main gate]

yea they should just not do that

it doesnt matter lol

[north summit]

well whatever it is they are doing we'll see ig

[clever agate]

Yeah with doing dumb sht like pushing arenas back 2 weeks, one day before they release? Yeah that will happen to the player base lmfao

[low sky]

Been like that since the beginning, idk why ppl still cope on this game lol

[main gate]

like, if that one guy saying "90% of people queue arena solo anyway" is correct (definitely isnt) this is a non issue anyway

[clever agate]

Oh I enjoy the game very much. Maybe not the choices made by the devs though.

[main gate]

because if this stat was true, people wouldnt be going against premades enough for this to be an actual issue

[ember snow]

Has anyone tried hide + shadow step rouge?

[main gate]

therefore, there is no fucking way theyre NOT talking about 1v1 and 2v2 modes

"The original Arena queue and leaderboard will now be known as the ‘Flex (Trio)’ Arena." this implies the old mode will still be there, and you can still queue solo in it, meaning they are not adding a "premade trio queue"

[stone ocean]

the entrance gear limit set at ‘Epic’ grade - @hexed adder @neon lynx - does that mean minimum gear is epic but you can go higher, it's caped at epic, or i'ts only epics? please clarify

[main gate]

it is capped at epic

theyll probably allow higher than epic towards end of season, like usual

[vale anvil]

This is not that I think. This is just trios fill

[stone ocean]

propably but this exact wording means different so that's why am asking for clarification 😉

[main gate]

no? a "gear limit" means nothing higher

thats what limit means

[stone ocean]

entrance gear limit means minimum gear limit

[main gate]

since when

[stone ocean]

that's my understanding of eng but am non native so what do i know

[frosty sleet]

nah this chat is pure ragebait rn

[north summit]

[main gate]

high roller says that, but you can enter high roller with squire gear

[main gate]

trios fill is already standard

[spare lily]

Which que is gonna be in the tournament

[main gate]

that is already in the game

[hybrid jolt]

Where the frick is the Altar location in ice caves? Is this new ?

[ripe nacelle]

is there any other fix for my pc not supporting hvci that doesn't involve getting a new rig?

[sonic heart]

Nope, its the Room with Golden chest, flying skulls a yeti and a bunch of Kobolds

[lapis birch]

Getting a job and upgrading 10+ year old PC

[ripe nacelle]

this one isn't broken

[sonic heart]

How old is it? Whats the problem?

[ripe nacelle]

im not spending 1000+ to play a 30 dollar game lol

[main gate]

It's the standard now, so you'd be doing it for many 30 (and higher) dollar games

[ripe nacelle]

i dont play those games either way

[main gate]

This is one of them

So

[ripe nacelle]

then ig i wont play then lol

[main gate]

Yea I guess u dont

[ripe nacelle]

i should refund req lol

[main gate]

Imagine they let u

U could prob sue

[cunning robin]

solo arean?
i can't imagine a barb vs rogue 1v1

[ripe nacelle]

i mean ive played from launch

[sonic heart]

Whats the problem you have with your PC?
Most PC's support HVCI, it just that if you haven't updated certain things you have extra steps to go through

[main gate]

I think he doesn't have tpm

[ripe nacelle]

core isolation or the bios option to turn it on isnt there

i looked

[main gate]

How old is ur pc

[sonic heart]

So did 2 of my friends, we figured out the problem yesterday

[ripe nacelle]

about a decade

[main gate]

Yea it's just time to get a new one

[sonic heart]

What model motherboard do you have?

Like specifically

[lapis birch]

How the hell is your PC still running this game, it must be Microsoft PowerPoint gameplay

[main gate]

Right like that is crazy

[ripe nacelle]

hp bs

[lapis birch]

Or it looks like tibia

[ripe nacelle]

nope

[main gate]

Tibia is crazy lol

[ripe nacelle]

i get 60 fps 1080

just fine

[main gate]

1080?!?!?!

Oh BROTHER

[ripe nacelle]

brother

i play morrowind

idgaf

[main gate]

Mine gets 120 at 1080 and my shit is old and decrepit

[errant isle]

Easy win for the rogue

[ripe nacelle]

i cap

[main gate]

Yea is 6 years old

[ripe nacelle]

my monitor is old a dirt

[lapis birch]

Is it CRT?

[ripe nacelle]

i wish

that would be cool

[main gate]

Love a good cathode ray tube

[ripe nacelle]

i dont want a new rig either way

i have mine setup how i like it

[main gate]

You can setup the new one the same way

[ripe nacelle]

i can't cut like 3/4 of the bs i can from the old ones

[slow timber]

guys i have insane stutters and fps drops while moving my mouse around, i have a 7800xt and an i5 14400f pls help if u know anything

[sonic heart]

Like more specifically. System information -> System Summary -> Baseboard Product- and Version

[ripe nacelle]

its HP and a bunch a numbers

its a in house board from hp

[lapis birch]

I think amd GPUs have some weird issues with the game, it's not as bad for me but the fps is pretty low

[ripe nacelle]

i barely got it working

[velvet moth]

Is discord open or are u streaming on discord

[slow timber]

discord is open

[velvet moth]

For some reason I have some issue with discord streaming causing insane stutters, try closing discord

[ripe nacelle]

welp

[velvet moth]

Only happens on this game

[ripe nacelle]

it still rins league so im fine lol

[slow timber]

okay will do with a fresh install

[ripe nacelle]

have a good one ig

[trail meteor]

disable windows Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling

[lapis birch]

I'd say heavy cpu usage maybe then

[trail meteor]

fixed the stutters for me but not the frames

[lapis birch]

I'm not stuttering but frames are bad

[slow timber]

i did that, tried so do things with the engine.ini

still cant figure it out

[sonic heart]

Alright. Tbf, the others are likely right. It probably does not support TPM 2.0
But luckily Baseboards are not super expensive - you can get one for like 50 USD

[trail meteor]

frames are from a bug woth player rendering, they definitely did something

[velvet moth]

Nah it’s not that, I’m below 70% usage but gpu util is all over the place, goes from 30% to 98%

[lapis birch]

Wow how the hell

[trail meteor]

but i had low frames and atrocious stuttering around other players whether visible or not

[lapis birch]

Blame new ping system and audio leaks

I assume

[slow timber]

oh yeah forgot to mention, if i swing my mouse around it lags like hell but if i hold block then swing nothing happens

[velvet moth]

On a 9060xt 16gb, games still smooth though. Unless I am discord streaming then it’s unplayable

But yeah gpu util is dodgy, but I reckon that’s a slight cpu bottleneck at 1080p I have an 11700k oc to 4.9 all core

[velvet moth]

Yeah it’s significantly worse in s2r

[trail meteor]

due to player density

[velvet moth]

Yep

[sonic heart]

Thats wild

[trail meteor]

it is directly connected to other players

[lapis birch]

Maybe they are implementing those hidden inventory code reworks behind the scenes

[velvet moth]

Interestingly enough my gpu util in solos is quite high but in s2r it dips very low on occasion

[lapis birch]

And is messes up

[trail meteor]

you can go solo queue into pve ruins start in corner of the map just fine, you move toward bridge room it starts running poorly, go back to your corner spawn and if its empty your game will run better-ish

[lapis birch]

It*

[slow timber]

spaghetti code wth

[lapis birch]

They said they hastily did the game at the beginning and they have to rewrite it

[trail meteor]

it doesnt seem to be happening on any of my friends rigs that have older hardware tho lol

[velvet moth]

And upping graphics settings gives me more fps aswell lol

[velvet moth]

Get them to play s2r I guarantee they will have half their fps

[trail meteor]

thats all they ever wanna play

[slow timber]

before upgrading i had a humble 970gtx

[main gate]

Does it do this on both directxs

[slow timber]

and it ran it fine

[trail meteor]

i mean theyve never had amazing frames or anything

[velvet moth]

Are you on amd now

[slow timber]

yes both 11 and 12

[velvet moth]

I went from a 1070 to a 9060xt

[slow timber]

yes i am ig its just amd

[velvet moth]

Up ur graphics settings

All on epic except shadows on low

[slow timber]

maxed tf out

[velvet moth]

Gives me good fps boost

And use fxaa and set it to a higher render res like 120%

and make sure in adrenaline you don’t accidentally have frame gen or some bullshit on

[slow timber]

alright will try this cooking

i have everything off except anti lag

[velvet moth]

yeah I actually had issue with anti lag

Caused me stutters turn it off

[copper lantern]

Fps goes up he higher your setting? I've got it on the lowest I can go

[velvet moth]

Yeah for me it does

[slow timber]

[velvet moth]

Likely because it forces more gpu util

Takes load off cpu

[copper lantern]

I shall give it a try when I get home

[velvet moth]

All on high or epic except shadows

That I have on low

[copper lantern]

What about the rendering percentage

[velvet moth]

I’m using fxaa 115% at 1080p

But anything is fine as long as ur gpu is strong enough

Makes no difference to fps unless ur gpu bottlenecked

[copper lantern]

I got a gtx 1050ti if I recall correctly

[velvet moth]

Yeah that’s quite weak you will be gpu bottlenecked

In ur case you likely will get worse performance upping settings

[copper lantern]

My frames have never been unplayable, though s2r far more leggy than regular matches

Why is that anyways, since s2r map is smaller how does it get worse frames?

[velvet moth]

Higher player and mob density I would guess

[fervent relic]

When's the next balance update?

[slow timber]

lowkey the only drops that i have are when i look around, i think it has to do with own character model rendering

[velvet moth]

What cpu

[slow timber]

i5 14400f

[velvet moth]

hmmm you have some bug or something then

I’m on an 11700k and 9060xt

I don’t have the issue you got

[slate cape]

So is this a solo duo arena mode or is it just about queuing?

[fervent relic]

I got i9 9000 something like that
And i get 120

[slow timber]

hopefully support will contact me back and look into it

[fervent relic]

What gpu?

[errant isle]

Sirely it doesnt take 2 weeks to add new queues. But there already is solo queue basically. Id imagine its 1v1 and 2v2. If its not, then thats stupid. And its dumb whatever they are doing takes 2 weeks

[slow timber]

7800xt

[fervent relic]

Damn

Is it better then 3080ti?

[slow timber]

id say a bit worse

but comparable

[slate cape]

Honestly I’d prefer if it’s not a solo arena so I don’t have to come back to the game, not to mention it would really betray my expectation of them

[fervent relic]

Maybe try to factory reset your pc
What was the last time you did?

[slow timber]

yea as a last resort solution ill do system wipe

about a year ago or so

[brittle pecan]

Is arena still coming Friday?

[fervent relic]

A year ago its good

[fiery pendant]

update the game already my god

[fervent relic]

It's getting so many updates

I hope next one will be balance

[fiery pendant]

🤓

[rain pine]

are u slow

[fervent relic]

?

damn i cant even gif

[lapis birch]

Prolly 2 days max

[short birch]

Anyone knows how to avoid hwid ban

Bought computer with this shit and cant play

[lapis birch]

Yeah you gotta wipe sys32

[short birch]

Yeah:p

[fervent relic]

Lezgo

[lapis birch]

What kind of excuse is that

[static trail]

what is hwid ban

[short birch]

Its not even excuse

Thats sad truth

[lapis birch]

Hardware id ban

[static trail]

how do u get hardware id ban

[lapis birch]

If kamileon knows it then he should explain it to you

[static trail]

@short birch

[young vine]

How am I supposed to understand this new arena? Is it going to be just separate leader board for solos/duos/trios or genuinely 1v1/2v2/3v3?

[lapis birch]

Both

[vale anvil]

Yes, but not enforced. The point here is that it’s enforced, so you won’t play against premades

[hybrid sequoia]

solos and premades being separated is my understanding, but we'll know in 2 weeks

[young vine]

I don't know whether I am stupid or they explained it very poorly

[main gate]

No lol

[vale anvil]

Elaborate? Whats “no lol” about it.

[main gate]

I've already typed so much here lol scroll up

[vale anvil]

Why would they limit it to “solo” only at 2600 rank?

[main gate]

Just search my user in the search

[vale anvil]

Once you hit 2600 you can’t play 2v2 anymore? That doesn’t sound correct

Which is why there isn’t 2v2 or 1v1

[main gate]

Yep, pools wouldn't be big enough

That's why

[zenith coral]

Wait and Waiter

[young vine]

Would be nice if we are allowed to play arena atleast until the season starts

[main gate]

I hope this doesn't delay the market at least

[young vine]

I presume by the time the arena season comes out, we will have crafted gear

[main gate]

We kinda already do but

Not the best crafted

I want frostlight wizard hat so bad though

[young vine]

Ain't no one gonna be using copper light ever since it got so nerfed

[main gate]

Cobalt too rn!!!

[young vine]

I wanted to play around with proj res obsidian, but it being armor pen fits more anyway

[main gate]

I just figured I'd use frostlight cloth and that's it

Gotta go kill some wyverns

[young vine]

I hate the wyvern stairs so much

[main gate]

Me fucking too

That's the real boss

[young vine]

Genuinely fell off of them 10 times just this wipe

[main gate]

The real boss is parkour

[young vine]

4 times because of rubber banding

[patent mica]

close that already brother

[main gate]

Or the gal pushes u off

[young vine]

I like to take care of them before starting the boss when in HR

And in normals I ignore them and let wyvern kill them

[main gate]

No not those gals

The wyvern herself

[young vine]

Ohhh, honestly they made it much more forgiving

I often get caught on the edges and live

[main gate]

That's true but sometimes she catches me offguard

[young vine]

Which attack?

[patent mica]

wyvern is definitly a she your right about that

[young vine]

Makes sense since she has an egg

[patent mica]

damn didnt think of that

thats a fact

[young vine]

They let you hatch the cockatrice, can't wait to hatch my own wyvern

[junior kernel]

More queues being added, really thought you guys would’ve learned after sdf but it looks like you haven’t

[main gate]

The one where she jumps forward and boops u

[patent mica]

i want a duos arena

trio fights are boring

[idle isle]

@hexed adder the arena announcement is not very clear. Could you clarify what the two queues exactly are, and differences between them? Is the Solo/Duo queue 2v2, or is it 3v3? Does the Flex Trios queue still have the party MMR gap restriction at 2200 MMR, like the last season?

[young vine]

Yeah I get that

[young vine]

The announcement is genuinely very confusing

[patent mica]

its a 3v3 if i got that right

[vale anvil]

From the wording, it sounds like it’s still 3v3 and solo/duo is one queue

[young vine]

Yes I also agree. I assume it's 3v3 but you have a separate leader board if you solo or duo

[vale anvil]

Flex trios did not force you to solo last season, that was season 7

Essentially they are bringing it back, but as a separate queue, so you can still premade as a trio if you want

[young vine]

Oh wait I think I get it

So it will be 3v3 and 2v2?

[main gate]

Is just stupid there's a delay, why can't we just play the old mode this weekend

[void elbow]

so i took the elevator out of gob around 4.30min and when i got into lobby i had nothing from that run....i had a gold coin bag on me wtf is this bxllshxt

[bleak coyote]

thats how i read it. And you have to option to go 1v2 if you want (the solo bit)

[young vine]

I feel like they might let us actually

[vale anvil]

But why have that last part about 2600 forcing solo only?

[main gate]

Because there's only like 4000 people max that play arena???

[young vine]

Like season 7 to make it "more balanced"

[main gate]

Where are the people

[lapis birch]

To me new arenas will look like league ranked, solo/duo + flex que (3 people)

[idle isle]

Ah, I think you are right. Last season we instead had the MMR gap thing - if someone in your party is above 2200 then you couldn't party up with players whose rank was a lot lower.

[young vine]

Oh yeah I guess that is a good point too. They need to force solo queue in 2v2 arena so queue times are low

[void elbow]

is i a known bug to lose everything after escaping now coz ive never had it happen to me, it reset me to the stuff i had on when i enter the match but i lost all the stuff i escaped with

[young vine]

I guess it's like this then:
Original 3v3 (flex)
New 2v2 but you will need to solo queue after Vanquisher 3

[main gate]

Did u relog

[void elbow]

sure did

[main gate]

Contact support

Not discord

[young vine]

Best advice

[main gate]

This change is so weird to me

3 person premades definitely do not happen enough for this to be needed

[young vine]

Oh ôk

[main gate]

Mods hello

[young vine]

Me and my friends only do premade arena

Often play so late the teams we ago against repeat

[drifting scaffold]

with the party finder I think it’s good

[main gate]

Sure but that's anecdotal. It's Def not the norm

[young vine]

We didn't meet many other premades tho

Yeah with the party finder it Def will be easier to get a full trio

[main gate]

<@&988703997378584596>

[ember snow]

@hexed adder fix the ruin map plssss!
I don't know why it so god damn laggy

[main gate]

Players lag it. It's likely just an s2r thing

But honestly game can't be fixed

[young vine]

I lag a lot in trios and especially squire to riches
But solos is smooth

[main gate]

^I've noticed mostly similar, sometimes it happens in solo but not often

[dense rivet]

just let us play arena on the weekend

[young vine]

They might honestly, just no ranking

[main gate]

Right like I've been saving gear

[bright moss]

Again delay -24h before release arena for 3 weeks. I delete this game. F. Off

[dense rivet]

that would be nice

[young vine]

Patience is a virtue
-# at this point it's better to accept the delays just keep coming

[idle isle]

Just to re-install it back in 3 weeks? I thought the game was like 20gb, you must be really running out of disk space to do that

Actually, isn't 29th in 2 weeks, not 3?

[young vine]

Ye 2 weeks

[drifting scaffold]

does kinda suck that it’s solo/duo, duos can grief ts out of solos easy

[young vine]

That's why you will be forced to solo queue I presume

[drifting scaffold]

right right

[bright moss]

They can go f them self. Loosing time with this dev. Goodbye, enjoy the futur.

[soft raft]

How did u play the game for this long and this update is where u draw the line?

[young vine]

Arena is like an addiction

[drifting scaffold]

you should see when arena closes on Sunday ppl go feral every time

[soft raft]

The devs are notorious for underdevelopment and delays idk how this is that big of a deal for Astro lol

[young vine]

I mean it is a good to call them out whenever they pull this stuff

They could have decided to make arena this way at the start of the season so we wouldn't have any delays

But then again just the wipe took like extra 8 hours or so?

[soft raft]

Well he’s just crying because he doesn’t get what he wants, not exactly constructive. Like I said it shouldn’t be a surprise they aren’t delivering.

[young vine]

Tell me about it. I stay up late just to grind arena mindlessly, even when there were no rewards 😭

[lapis birch]

Arena brings out the worst from people

[bleak coyote]

good to see they still havent fixed the quests after last weeks fix'. They didnt show up for hours, then showed, did a handful. And now they are all gone again (yes, also after restart).

[young vine]

I can drink to that

[lapis birch]

League of legends structure fits in

[lapis birch]

Wait until tomorrow

[quasi ingot]

So arena ain't opening til end of month?

[lapis birch]

But yeah it's bullshit

[young vine]

Yeah, on 29th

[lapis birch]

That's right

[soft raft]

Surely it’s fixed tomorrow right

😄

[lapis birch]

No, but they may not disappear , not the current ones :D

[young vine]

Well that's not 100%
Arena might open this weekend just without ranking

[lapis birch]

Maybe

[bleak coyote]

at least i got goldsmith to legend before the quests shat the bed again

[quasi ingot]

I don't understand why they just don't make it clear smh

[soft raft]

They don’t know why either 💀

[young vine]

Real, we were discussing how arena will look earlier since they didn't explain it well

[lapis birch]

It's a surprise

[soft raft]

It seems very half baked

[young vine]

What isn't in this game?

I genuinely wonder what happened to the lore now that half the npcs got shot behind the shed

[soft raft]

One day it will all come together

https://tenor.com/view/copium-copium-gif-gif-16769069044176343234

[lapis birch]

They got turned into skeletons

[ember snow]

it only happen in map ruin it think

[short birch]

Hardware ban

If someone cheated on your computer you get banned on your computer as well

[static trail]

i asked how u go tit

who cheated on your commputer

sounds like an excuse to me

[slate hawk]

Read the questgiver's quest and you'll see!

[grand cradle]

genuinely how do I have runs where I can kill banshee and ghost king but I can't figure out how to Spectral Knight in PvE

Am I slow?? this should not be that hard (according to everyone ever, apparently)

[elfin sail]

I did

[sage creek]

Tbh spectral is the hardest one in those 3 lol. Dont give up u got this

[elfin sail]

It’s just fast reaction time and seeing the stances he does, if you rinse and repeat and cover up your mistakes you will learn him in a day

[rough spruce]

what's the best class to learn boss fights on? And any guides you all recommend?

[misty ridge]

Scare, he means what happened to all their character storylines for like the people who just don't exist now

[grand cradle]

I've just been running cleric (started on it way back in 2024, never stopped) as I get my self heals, potions work fine, and it's pretty darn easy to stack magic healing and just run away before actually dying if you have a door open

[rough spruce]

I'll be needing to run a squire kit because I haven't been hoarding gear.

[grand cradle]

Possibly Druid for a good source of passive healing, but I guess it would probably be better to mitigate damage being taken in the first place e.g. fighter with second wind to heal when needed

(Definitely not a pro please someone correct me if I spew bad advice)

[young vine]

Yes exactly. I'll read all the current quests and see if it's actually mentioned

[hybrid sequoia]

Warlock with 40% less dmg from undead and demons

[rough spruce]

Are all bosses considered undead or demon?

[sly laurel]

I dont think so only the bosses in ruins, crypt and inferno

[rough spruce]

Ah

Guess I'll just practice it on the classes I know the best first

[sly laurel]

What bosses do you want to practice?

[hybrid sequoia]

all crypt ones are

[rough spruce]

Was just gonna start with the gob cave ones

[deep loom]

So we aren’t getting arena this week?

[sly laurel]

They are ez doesnt metter that much what class you use for those 2

[sly laurel]

He said 29th pretty sure

[slate hawk]

Yes indeed.
An example of this is the Alchemist's quest "Oh Brother", "Undead Erradication" and "Doctor's Orders", which mentions the Alchemist's brother (the Surgeon)

[visual wigeon]

2 more weeks until i can actualy play the game again

[rough spruce]

why is it getting delayed?

[sly laurel]

They want to add solo/duo arena

[misty ridge]

Tbh I just assumed that they resolved their differences and moved in together and acknowledged that both methods in tandom are effective

[slate hawk]

And we haven't seen much of the quests yet, I think. We're just at week 3 of idk, and many quests are released at once

[rough spruce]

does ogre and cyclopes have the same move set?

[tawny magnet]

is the marked open already?

[valid raptor]

Arena is delayed so the people who don’t realize they don’t meet the anti cheat requirements are gonna be even more pissed after they wait 2 more weeks to realize they still can’t play arena lmao

[bleak coyote]

13 hours

[tawny magnet]

thx

[glossy minnow]

make luck pots infinite... shit's a joke

[rough spruce]

didn't survive the first 3 seconds against cave troll on pve

[deft cobalt]

Nah, people would take in like 5 a game till they roll 150 luck

[glossy minnow]

1 per lobby... it's not hard

[quasi ingot]

So nobody knows if the arena is opening tomorrow at least to play ?

[deft cobalt]

I just buy them off CD and have a few collected which seems to work

[azure snow]

Nope they fycked us yet again

[rough spruce]

bruh

I can't do shit against bosses

even in pve

[drifting scaffold]

which one?

[rough spruce]

cave troll

[azure snow]

U cant kill a boss?

[drifting scaffold]

that's a tough first boss to learn lol

[tiny elbow]

How tf is Red getting 50k+ views when there is barely 10k players online at most

[rough spruce]

the way should not be mentioned

[quasi ingot]

I don't understand how hard it is to explain things. Can we please get better explanations and directions all we want is to enjoy the game now delaying arena for almost a month is so lame

[valid raptor]

Imagine delaying Arena the day of its release for two weeks for some BS reason from LAST SEASON.

[celest hatch]

did they remove the luck cap?

[rough spruce]

SDF delayed it by a month because HE wasn't ready for arena yet. He didn't have a day off until the end of the month.

[glossy minnow]

why have my quests vanished? lol tf is this game smh

[rough spruce]

what's the easiest in your opinion?

[tawny magnet]

for me its cyclops

[hybrid sequoia]

cyclops, then ghost king

[bleak coyote]

banshee is super easy too, even a squire rogue barely takes over half damage with no souls collected during her 3rd phase scream, since they nerfed her last month

[rough spruce]

by the time I get to cyclopse ppl have already killed it

[tidal eagle]

cave troll easy pattern

[rough spruce]

be nice if there was a tutorial mode that just spawned you into your own instance right outside the boss room and you had just a default squire kit and couldn't bring gear out

[hybrid sequoia]

that's how easy it is

[fallen crypt]

robots

[fallen crypt]

people used to do essentially this on the test server

[weak finch]

learn the Map layout, no matter where you spawn it takes about 30s to get to the boss room, enter it and start fighting it dont wait for the rando's that are in it tofight it or die to it

[rough spruce]

okay I'm jsut hot fucking garbage at this game i guess. I died toa fucking lava slime in pve

[tidal eagle]

some bosses like GK/Litch/Warlord/ Demon overseer are hard to get to and time consuming thats all

[hybrid sequoia]

that would be the time I take a break until next day

[weak finch]

(yeah was reffering to the gobbo caves bosses) lol

[tidal eagle]

oh yeah fair u can rush those

[hybrid sequoia]

brain sometimes just not braining

[weak finch]

ignore all mobs > just door cheese them > keep running lol

[tidal eagle]

didnt see GC map in there so i assume otherwise

not a big deal

[haughty tartan]

I would argue GK is the easiest boss of all

[past remnant]

Do you guys think the patch notes will not drop until May 29th too now?

[misty ridge]

Entirely depends on whether you mean solo or in team

[haughty tartan]

Solo and team
Hahaha

[trail sage]

Bro forgot about troll cave

[misty ridge]

I have a feeling we'll get a patch tonight. We didn't last week because there was a Korean holiday so they were out of office

[haughty tartan]

Won’t play arena. Po2 update drops 29th

[trail sage]

Does that felling also come with crazy intel

[haughty tartan]

We actually know about patches as they get put into #📢announcements like everyone else hahah

No inside info

[past remnant]

I hope so. The halberd meta is real annoying

[misty ridge]

From the perspective of a Longsword Fighter who has solo'd every High Roller boss except for Fire Colossus

Demon Overseer is tough, but not insurmountable
Lich is formidable in solos, and a pushover in teams
Warlord and Spectral are both tied for my favorite to 1v1
Stingray is aight
Bladehand really fun
Troll and Cyclops I could do with my monitor off

[opaque remnant]

whats the market timer at now?

[misty ridge]

Should be just over 12 hours

[haughty tartan]

What about pirate boss

[whole urchin]

i am so sick of seeing players names srgdhyduhfdjjfds and running straight to my spawn every time and then the next day i see they are banned

[misty ridge]

I said it there

[haughty tartan]

Nvm

[misty ridge]

Overall he's fun, fast paced fight but it keeps you on your toes

[haughty tartan]

1 bullet and I’m dead

[misty ridge]

Doesn't take too much time to do once you get it down but there's certainly an amount of skill needed to beat him

[misty ridge]

Parry it

[haughty tartan]

Parry for losers

[misty ridge]

And then in HR once he combos them, you parry it again

I'm better than being ragebaited

[tidal eagle]

blade hand is easy i farm him everydat

[haughty tartan]

I just fought a fighter yesterday

[tidal eagle]

takes time to learn for sure

[haughty tartan]

In base gear ranger

He full bis gemed stuff

I shot him 47 times with longbow

He still had 70% hp

70% PDR

[tidal eagle]

prob not me but im on na east

[willow lark]

"We apologize for the delay but believe this update will offer a more compelling Arena experience to a larger audience. " only like 5% of the playerbase cares about this just remove arena and give us the damn skill tree

[misty ridge]

I had a kit this wipe where I saved and socketed all my best pieces, I tried to let a basekit guy go but he insisted on the fight and then cursed me out in whispers for being fully geared

Homie you chose the fight! I'm just here to boss lol

[mighty wraith]

complaining about arena when the water map exists is crazy

[misty ridge]

I like Arena, working towards Arena kits gives me something to do throughout a wipe

[jovial kettle]

I like arena

[lapis birch]

Ans how is it compared to troll ?

[misty ridge]

Much more difficult mechanically, but for artifact chance and a free gold pile it's worth

[lapis birch]

All the bosses have Arti chance now?

[hybrid sequoia]

no artifacts on 1st floor bosses, only on joint piles

[tidal eagle]

not all bosses only 2nd/3rd level ruins/ wyvern drops artifacts/ double boss room pile in GC/Ruins/ any room needed for key drops artifacts

oh and ofc watermap bosses drop

[misty ridge]

Bladehand and Stingray drop them

[lapis birch]

I get it ty

[misty ridge]

I pulled a Delirium from Bladehand this wipe

[tidal eagle]

the only shield i have gotten him from yet

[lapis birch]

So does water map counts as 2nd floor perhaps?

[trail sage]

U can pull arty from middle of watermap piles

[misty ridge]

I've been running it with Kuma's

[past remnant]

The flying spears fck me up. I can handle all his attacks but when those spears start flying man they're bound to rock me

[tidal eagle]

yes key room

[tidal eagle]

very nice would u want a nice aegis

[trail sage]

No

The random piles

[tidal eagle]

random pile in water map doesnt drop artifact only key room

not even boss pile drops artifacts in watermap

[hybrid sequoia]

ah tru, I always forget about water map because I never play it

[misty ridge]

Yeaa, this wipe I literally had a flawless fight, but he did the explosion where you have to go close, put a ballista where I had to go, which knocked me into the aoe which knocked me into another ballista which killed me

[lapis birch]

They have to because of water artis

[surreal palm]

anyone know where I can get "Broken Glasses" and tide stone

[tiny elbow]

sdf pls open arena so i can mess up without having my teammates crash out and hear their whining

[misty ridge]

Aegis is cool

[trail sage]

Im pretty sure but I could be wrong

[tidal eagle]

tide stone near maelstrome middle map/ broken glasses from frost/ demon imps

[lapis birch]

SDF no longer works on game

[tidal eagle]

best looking shield

[tiny elbow]

*paul

[jovial kettle]

How’d you compeered blade hand with the new boss? Cause i thought he was harder than troll but others tell me he’s the easiest

[misty ridge]

It would match my Warden Cloak, I think

[haughty tartan]

You’ve ever seen the warden skin for heater shield ?

[tidal eagle]

I think the reflect looks a lot cooler imo but warden skin looks nice

[lapis birch]

And how does it compare to spectral ?

[misty ridge]

I'd say he's absolutely harder than Troll. More attacks to memorize, more combos, faster attacks with less time to react to, and some stuff (gun) can one shot you or put you very low

But again, he's tougher because he can drop artifacts

[tidal eagle]

Id say spectral is a bit easier than blade hand but not too far

[misty ridge]

This wipe has been kind to me honestly. Back to back Zirkzi's from Lich, and my first kill on HR Overseer and Bladehand dropped Kuma's Claw and Delirium respectively

[tidal eagle]

both have devasting attack like spectral phase AOE blade hand just can spam handcannon which even with high pdr can deal 60% of your hp

[jovial kettle]

A little harder for me cause i learned him on rouge first instead of perry

[twin plank]

is PDR capped at 65 still

[lapis birch]

So if I can solo warlord troll and spectral I should be able to do cap boss right?

[hoary prism]

is there any official interactive map, so i can do my quests easier?

[jovial kettle]

Would you say manically bladehand is about the same as overseer?

[tidal eagle]

with defense mastery goes up to 75%

[tidal eagle]

overseer is harder for now imo

[misty ridge]

For solo parry vs boss, I'd say

Demon Overseer > Lich > Warlord > Ghost King > Wyvern > Stingray > Bladehand > Spectral Knight > Troll > Cyclops

[bleak coyote]

not official, but darkanddarkertracker does what you want

[quasi ingot]

Arena is open tomorrow

[jovial kettle]

Thanks i might have to give it a try for the artifacts

[orchid badge]

nope got pushed back brother

[quasi ingot]

the season starts may 30th but arena is open to play tomorrow i just checked

[orchid badge]

oh thank god ngl shi was boutta ruin my whole wipe

[rain pine]

arena isnt open to play tmro..

did yall not check announcements

[quasi ingot]

same

[drifting scaffold]

you know it’s possible for arena to be open without season ranking open?

[weak finch]

apparently u need to read #📢announcements

🤣

[drifting scaffold]

idk if that’s what’s happening but it’s possible

[quasi ingot]

u need to load game and u can see aren aopens in 1 day

[weak finch]

and i bet when it reaches 00:00:00 - it resets to the 29th 😉

[quasi ingot]

rofl

[rough garden]

Self found is actually the worst shit ever i just want to buy gear

[fallen crypt]

this has happened before don’t trust that timer

[lapis birch]

U forgor banshee

[fallen crypt]

can’t really parry banshee bro

no damage source to parry into for it

[lapis birch]

It's parry tier list?

[fallen crypt]

yes

solo parry

[quasi ingot]

the timer has been 90% accurate maybe just 1 tme

[fallen crypt]

it’s in the message

[lapis birch]

Ok I'm dumb

[fallen crypt]

nah

just didn’t notice it

[rough garden]

i want market a week ago

[lapis birch]

I'd like to see same thing but no parry included

[rough garden]

i cant find a pair or plate pants or hounskull or nothing ever

[hoary prism]

ty my lord

[misty ridge]

They drop from the Living Armors a lot

[frigid dragon]

If you add solo and duo queues what is the point of still having the 2600 rating limit? If you don't want to fight a team running a comp then just play the solo queue? Makes no sense

[rough garden]

I dont want blue gear all i ever get on top floor hr living armoreds is like blue gear max maybe 1 purple every 30

[lapis birch]

Same logic that league uses

[rough garden]

i have pulled more nameds this wipe than legendary plate pants

[misty ridge]

Otherwise you just gotta open Large Oak Chests

[rough garden]

lost me at the actually playing the game solution

[misty ridge]

lmao

[hybrid sequoia]

get blue gear and upgrade it with workshop?

[twin plank]

WHAT DOES MORNING STAR DROP FROM TEAM

[rough garden]

im not chopping trees upgrading that shit

[hybrid sequoia]

so buy it tomorrow

[rough garden]

tomorrow isnt right now tho like come on mane

[lapis birch]

It's like 3 quick runs with bard or ranger

On pve

[frigid dragon]

League doesn't use this logic tho. League has a rating difference limit to avoid boosting. This is just straight up stopping you from playing with friends till high rating

[rough garden]

pve yucky

[elfin sail]

So u can’t sit still and play the game cuz u just want to pvppvpvpvp

[azure snow]

Extremely lame

[rotund wedge]

What does it mean? “The Solo/Duo Arena’s will further be limited to just Solo queue once competitors reach the ‘Vanquisher 3’ rank at 2600+ MMR.”

[azure snow]

About how hard to pull an artifact and the bs s2r is i may be done for the season ive hit probably 100 key room piles in hr for dog shi

[quasi ingot]

Fellas arena looks like it will open tomorrow. That's all I care about

[quasi ingot]

It means solo player after 2600 MMR cant que solo

[frigid dragon]

Exactly that. The way trios used to be. If you or your teammate reach a rating higher than 2600, you cannot queue together anymore

[limpid lion]

Can you read?

[oak spindle]

skill issue

[quasi ingot]

Can you look at game it says opens in 1 day. The announcement is talking about season starting

[strange heart]

these devs LOVE wasting our time. been playing way too much so i can have good arena gear. now its pointless because crafted gear will be out before arena.. RTARDS

[azure snow]

Of course

[frigid dragon]

Complaining about artifact rates this season is wild. It's the highest it's ever been, 9% from the new boss

[lapis birch]

They did have that limit in league or it's still there, ironmace is literally copying it

[azure snow]

U right

[hybrid sequoia]

it means you won't be able to duo arena above that MMR

[frigid dragon]

But they don't, in league you can double queue in normal ranked even in challenger. Or you can triple or 5 man queue if you play flex

[lapis birch]

There used to be a thing where master was duo and after it only solo

They copied this

[wide oasis]

Run bosses for loot don’t gamble with piles if you get discouraged from no good stuff

[frigid dragon]

Yeah but that was taken away. Also master+ in league is 1% of the player base. While 2600 is easy to reach in dark and darker

[oak spindle]

are we having a split solo and duo arena then (their own queues)? or solo / duo

[lapis birch]

That doesn't stop them from introducing it

[tidal eagle]

where can i find the item shackles?

[lapis birch]

For some reason

[frigid dragon]

Well no shit. I still think it's a stupid thing to implement

[lapis birch]

Water map

Go look at the docks there tons of them

[tidal eagle]

ill take a look

[little flume]

Do we have any clarity on whether or not Arena will be playable this weekend? Is it just the formal season that's pushed back to the 29th or are we getting screwed out of arena entirely for yet another week?

[lapis birch]

No idea

[frigid dragon]

Arena is pushed back to the 29th to implement new queues

[lapis birch]

I mean they might open arena without rankings, but they may wait for 29 too

[little flume]

The rankings mean nothing to me the mode is the best part of the game I hope they're not removing access to it for another week to fiddle around with some ranking system

[lapis birch]

Would you be surprised?

I'm not

[nimble sonnet]

guys would you rather rat as a barb to thirdparty a fighter or rather have a fair duel even knowing you have better gear huh?

[obtuse bay]

add 1v1 arena pls

[little flume]

MS Curse lock would probably render this unplayable

[cyan monolith]

True warlock is just so broken

Theres nothing u can do its the most op class in the game

I think they should buff longbow ranger to compensate

[lapis birch]

It's one of the most if not the most versatile classed in the game

Class*

[cyan monolith]

True its too versatile and broken

Nerf it now

[azure snow]

Were probably getting fyucked its normal here

[hybrid sequoia]

one-shotting non maxed PDR builds is not strong enough?

[granite lark]

So dumb. 2 more weeks. No Arena. Devs can't help themselves

[little flume]

Arena is by far the best thing the game has to offer. After wipe, dungeons have a purpose to build an arena kit. With Epic limit it doesn't take that long, most arena players have their kits set aside. No wonder the player count dwindles the way it does, I can't imagine pushing arena access back is going to help with player retention.

[twin plank]

what does dwarven shrines do

[boreal quarry]

anyone knows if the goblin merchant brings back items in high roller?

[queen kraken]

for me arena is the most boring part of the game

[lapis birch]

If you lvl him

And it scales

[jovial kettle]

Fire resist

[boreal quarry]

yea but does he not only works in normals?

[lapis birch]

Everywhere but royale

Pve always gives back and norms hr you need reputation

[hybrid sequoia]

he works everywhere

[boreal quarry]

thanks a olt

[hot glen]

where are the giant clams guys?

[carmine storm]

SSF fucking aids

keep it or get rid of the fucking aids bullshit

[somber spade]

Actually playing my (insert mode) is the best mode as is this is what (high made up %) of the player base is playing

[ancient valley]

The real problem is warlock ganking you at the new boss for absolutely free and if you have 2 hands you just win the fight

[carmine storm]

halberd needs a nerf

[wraith fulcrum]

you think balberd need a nerf? lul

[twin plank]

can HR cave troll drop artifacts or is it only for ghost king etc

[strong ember]

I dont like halberd but thats because I can't use it very well bc im bad 👍

[wide iron]

So they changed the % of named drops?

[ancient valley]

Highest weapon dmg in the game and longest reach and one of the safest parries 😭

[cyan monolith]

not as op as warlock

[strong ember]

Till John fighter runs you down with a longsword and 2 tap parrys you

[ancient valley]

The second swing of the halberd can get past pretty much anything

My bad third swing

[strong ember]

Ez parry for babys

Honestly I love halberd bc people are easy to parry

[hybrid sequoia]

you can play around warlock, you can't play around being one-shot

[valid raptor]

Just make halberd spawn randomly on shit so people can’t rush bridge, graveyard and the other module for a free purple weapon every match on the first layer. That’s the real problem with halberd. That and plate fighter can get to 330 ms which is kinda crazy.

[twin plank]

how

[strong ember]

Dont ever talk about my favorite class 330 fighter

[cyan monolith]

just dodge

[valid raptor]

Give living statue more items to drop or randomize weapon drops on enemies.

[lapis birch]

Bring out good ol reliable pavise

[hybrid sequoia]

just dodge curses too

[cyan monolith]

i cant

[hybrid sequoia]

you can, skill issue

[ancient valley]

They should drop most weapons

Instead of just bardiche and halberd

[jovial kettle]

I think every item should have a set spawn on things so i dont have to randomly open for other gear im looking for

[ancient valley]

Yea i agree but the gargoyles should have weapon drops instead of just bardiche and halberd

[jovial kettle]

Ya should be a mix of all big 2 handers

[ancient valley]

Exactly

[dusty barn]

thats the funny thing, that is the big 2 handers

[strong ember]

Ehh that would be boring fast not to mention it would make trying tk do certain quests almost impossible

[valid raptor]

Looting in Squires should be entirely RNG. Idc about the other modes.

[dusty barn]

other axes are medium sized, LSword is medium sized

[ancient valley]

And I think the loot in squire royal is a little insane in ruins

Crypts and inferno is fine

[jovial kettle]

I agree with is

[strong ember]

Silence non believer

[lapis birch]

Correction it is insane

[strong ember]

Let me enjoy my crazy loot i give to express man

[dusty barn]

ratting reds in s2r to get the bis is an absolutel vibe

[valid raptor]

Squire loot is a 1/3 of what you can get in HR but it’s still really good

[ancient valley]

Idk maybe its just me but I dont think you should be able to pull artifacts and shit off a game mode you literally risk nothing for

[dusty barn]

aint no one getting artis reliably in s2r

the boss rarely spawns

[lapis birch]

They probably did that because of hr requirements

[strong ember]

I play it bc high roller solo is a rat fest

[lapis birch]

Where's invis rework :(

[jovial kettle]

Ya if your solo waiting for your group its a vibe

[strong ember]

Id rather not get touched by 3 rouges In 2 min

Bad touch

[lapis birch]

Bloodhound gang is calling

[strong ember]

Ngl I do like the new rouge skills tho bc hide rouges are less common

[bleak coyote]

Hung like planet pluto

[strong ember]

I love fighting Mosquito rouges as anything with a bow

[lapis birch]

🗣️

[dim berry]

Hi!!

[strong ember]

Ho?

[lime gorge]

is the server goofy or what?

[earnest venture]

yes now we have ones that get you low to throwing knives then teleport behind you

id rather fight 5 hide rogues than 1 tp rogue

not even that theyre hard to kill theyre just annoying as hell

[vale anvil]

Throwing knives do negligible damage from what I’ve noticed. They basically just apply debuffs now

Pop a bandage and potion, while they throw at you, and all of sudden you’re topped up while dodging

[static trail]

agreed

i just dont like when things show up behind me. its scary

[icy crow]

im enjoying this season so far

[earnest venture]

its multiple factors

they spam throwing knives, 3 tap most classes, and can just run away from most classes

its just a dumb class that has no place in dark and darker

[vale anvil]

I don’t think this is even close to true anymore.

Maybe if they are geared and you aren’t. But so far, rogue needs to hit like 5+ times to kill even a wizard

[earnest venture]

lol if you say so

castilon nerf wasnt all that

[vale anvil]

As opposed to halberd which two shots any class if it hits the head

[earnest venture]

i can still reliably 4 tap fighters in s2r

well yea halberd is questionable but its always been that way

[vale anvil]

I’ve been playing A LOT of SR rogue, and I’ve never 4 tapped a fighter

[earnest venture]

hit heads ig big shlawg

or use the right perks

[vale anvil]

By the time your 4th swing is even moving they hit you in the head once and lights out

[earnest venture]

not really

[gaunt forum]

Throwing knives should be faster aim lock than Francis tbh, it feels so long to aim (I play 30+ atk speed rogue)

And I swear at fighter I feel more consistent with Francis than w rogue knives

[vale anvil]

Someone did a side by side comparison, and Franciscas is straight faster than knives by a decent margin

[static trail]

i think that axes and knives and poison and explosive bottles should be removed

[cosmic carbon]

is ssf over

[vale anvil]

Crossbows and bows too while we are at it.

Eh, why not spells as well!

[static trail]

yay 💗

[fiery aspen]

Just to confirm, obby gear is purple correct?

[static trail]

but also i was serious. it roots from jealousy because my pockets are full

[vale anvil]

I know Repoze said he disliked playing rogue rn because half his inventory had to be knives

[bright moss]

@proud copper @hexed adder

Honestly, this is getting really frustrating.

Announcements are made, we prepare our gear for arenas, and then just a few hours before launch, new reasons suddenly appear to delay them again — reasons that were never even mentioned before (duo solo queue ???).

Why not just open arenas as originally announced and continue working on the updates afterward?

Instead, everything keeps getting delayed at the last second with little communication or clarity. At this point, it genuinely feels like the player base is not being respected.

Arenas have already been limited to weekends only for the past two years. Is this a server issue? A budget issue? This type of game needs stability, and right now that stability just isn’t there.

And once again, the communication is so unclear that we still don’t even know if arenas are actually opening this weekend or not.

If arenas don’t open this weekend, I’ll probably be done with the game.

I truly wish everyone the best and hope you continue enjoying the game, but personally, I’ve reached my limit. I can’t keep investing time into a game that doesn’t seem to respect its commitments or its player base.

[static trail]

no i play bard 🙁

[vale anvil]

Obby? Do you mean arena? Then yes

[fiery aspen]

Obsidian

[gaunt forum]

Imho Throwables could be additional cooldown ability 🙂

-wake up

[gaunt forum]

Rly? then it explains a lot.
I recently played for fun Throwing Barbarian with full bag of frances+2x Bardiche throw :d i had so much fun with that, this does so much dmg with axe perks etc

[static trail]

wake up
open discord
see bard still can’t use halberd
cry
log off

why give me francis axe but not the real thing 😢

[kindred pebble]

So no arena today?

[tidal eagle]

day 1 of no arena

[static trail]

day 1 no arena 💔💔💔💔💔 whu the fuck cares about splitting the ques 2 more ways

[valid raptor]

They messed up Arena with the new anti cheat requirements and are just now realizing it. Some bs excuse about metrics from LAST SEASON doesn’t even make sense. It just makes them look incompetent.

[wispy mason]

market opens tomorrow, what are the predictions as to price of broken glasses?

[valid raptor]

Not as good as last season. I have like 8 of them from squire mode.

[wispy mason]

still cant get a single one so far

give me one pls

[bleak coyote]

first ones for 2k and then a lot of undercutting for the first 8 hours.
expect about 500-600 after, they are not that rare and you only need 1

[merry terrace]

the glasses dont have to be looted? can be bought and traded in?

[compact geode]

Agreed. Always cool to see Solo or Duo content added, but delaying the trios for two weeks is wild. Pretty disappointing, I know myself and the groups I play with pretty much only play the game for arena so this is rough.

[bleak coyote]

pretty much 90% can be bought this season

[merry terrace]

sheeeeesh

[wispy mason]

quest doesnt specify looted in item means it doesnt have to be
