Interaction Speed edition

Game info:
>Dungeons and Dragons-esque PvPvE extraction looter
>Can play in trios, duos, and solos

Playable classes:
>Barbarian, Cleric, Fighter, Ranger, Rogue, Wizard, Bard, Warlock, Druid (releasing soon)

Three areas to explore:
>The Ruins of Forgotten Castle (three maps of progressing difficulty)
>The Goblin Caves (one map)
>Frost Mountains (one of three maps released, WIP)

Playable races:
>Human, Elf, Orc, Skeleton, Lizard (the difference between races is a miniscule attribute difference, races are buyable through shards; a currency earned or bought)
(more races to come)

Beginner tips:
>This game is not forgiving, you will die a lot at the beginning and when you get better you will die even more
>You don't have to take every fight; sheath (X) weapons to run faster
>Moving only backwards (S) is slower than forward or strafe movement (W/A/D)
>Fighter is good for learning the ropes as a solo player (tip: use the Sprint & Second Wind skills)
>There are static exits (look at your map) and randomly spawning portals you can activate to escape the dungeon
>The game is in Early Access, so it is constantly changing and receiving new (often weekly) updates that significantly impact the core gameplay

for reference Ruins --> Crypts --> Inferno AP cost at Demigod was 700
unless they changed something about the system Demigod this season will be impossible for 99.9% of the playerbase
>>
>>1216336
They did say they were rebalancing it particularly to make it so pvp is actually good for AP. Wouldnt be shocked if they massively over correct and the only realistic way to gain AP at later levels is to get a ton of pvp kills. They may also tone down the buy in cost keeping it there to hopfully keep no lifes from becoming demigod week 1. Guess we will find out friday.
>>
>>1216353
pretty sure at the end of last wipe 1 kill was 99? AP. so that was already good, no clue how this will be if you're hitting demi fees at Voyager I. Either way, if there's no solo ice caves I won't even play leaderboards this time around. this might be my out to stop pouring so much time into this game so its a good thing

>>1216440
I understand. Honestly the map lock by players thing is the worst part of this patch and its criminally under complained about. Though I guess most of the player base doesnt care since they either get their arena "light" or the full pve experience in the crypts/hell.

assuming you have either one displayed and have spells

can I see your stats on that build?

nothing special
around 130hp (+6hp on staff) with ~30 will and a lowly ~49% magic bonus. I might've had +5-6 add magic

Thanks.
Considering how prevalent casters are this season I have to start running Song of Silence on my bard, shit is getting out of hand. Btw are you an EU player?
>>
>>1218836
I'm NA. I've been killed once by SoS and I didn't expect it so that's pretty smart. When in doubt just hug a corner/pillar and kite out spells and if the wizard has a staff use your ranged attacks.
>>
>>1218838
Yeah I know the counterplay, my problem is mostly that I have very little room for error due to low magic resist and not much health. The reason I ask about Knowledge is because Song of Silence can be a self-grief if the wiz has a lot of Knowledge and can fuck me while I'm trying to cast the song. Ignite tank wizards shouldn't be an issue in that case though.
>>
>>1218860
what is bis to you? can you not spare a roll on some of your gear for Max HP+
>>
>>1218874
My current build has 113 before buffs, but magic damage still shreds it since I spec into move speed and true damage primarily. I try to fit max HP on my headgear since I don't need specific stats there. Chests and legs need mandatory +2 All so getting health on top of that would put those items at 1000g or more on the marketplace, and I don't like spending all my gold on super BIS. Same with gloves that have +2 true, additional health rolls make them hundreds if not thousands of gold. If you're solo it's better to have multiple good kits than one phenomenal kit, because you will inevitably die to something out of your control regardless of gear.

>>
>>1219876
The usual tons of people moaning and complaing about this or that so 100% your gonna hate something about it. I quite enjoy it right now. Biggest issue this second is maps are locked to players which sucks. Meta is some combination of spellcasters are strong and melee users are stacking to like 80% PDR.

>>1219877
>Biggest issue this second is maps are locked to players which sucks
I stopped playing before that feature was added, so it doesn't really concern me much. Rogue having some of his abilities combined sounds nice, but the patch note of adding a shimmer to his stealth is worrying. Is it like when they added the after image to Wiz's invis?
>>
>>1219896
You literally make a sound when you use Hide, and when you move it's super visible. The meta for rogue right now is Rupture, Cut Throat, and the Creep perk which silences your footsteps entirely. Add a hand crossbow to the mix and you're set.

Don't like that that at all, what's the point of hiding if you're not actually hidden? I was always more of the loot goblin "oh shit, run away" Rogue instead of running gigamaxx damage Rogue anyway. I like the idea of cut throat getting more play, but not because the other options got nerfed

>>1220882
Ranger requires a lot of game knowledge and skill to be effective. #2 on solo leaderboards last season was a Ranger (https://www.twitch.tv/vincennt7), if you really like the class consider studying what he does
If you want an easy life just play Cleric or Fighter, that shit is brainless for a new player.

>Why the hate on Chivalry players

If you've played Chivalry, Chivalry 2, or Mordhau, then you know exactly why the hate exists. They are the sweatiest, niggeriest cunts on the entire planet. Anything that you put infront of them, they will pour over and start vomiting out optimization strats for until every possible ounce of fun is wrung out of it, and all that's left is a tangled mess of perfectly optimal options in a given scenario, and your only options to actually play the game at that point are either to spend 3k hours learning every single one of them so thoroughly that they become as breathing to you, or to just not play. They are the people that produce and consume the "How to get broken OP in [Game]" videos, they are the people that watch RyanSixDaysAWeek. They are a cancer. They are the inevitable death of fun through autism.

Neophyte delusions. I wish people were wearing high-end gear because 9/10 players I kill have nothing worth keeping let alone selling on the market. Most people in this game don't even know how to properly make a kit for their class, nor even understand what stats/enchantments to acquire.

>noooo you can't just confuse your opponents with your movements because you can't ok!!??
Sounds like a skill issue and you need to git gud to me. I would be curious as to how the lizard spin looks from the opponent's POV though. DaD's combat is barebones and has no way for a majority of the classes to even block incoming attacks. Shit, the shields barely block attacks at times. I WISH DaD played more like Chiv 2

>>1222671
>They are the sweatiest, niggeriest cunts on the entire planet.
That's true, trying to fight some of those high level players in Chiv can be ass, but it feels more skill based compared to DaD's gear stat dependency. I hate how DaD attracted a ton of sweatlords who turned it into a fucking deathmatch game instead of a dungeon crawler

this was with virtually a full inventory of treasures and killing several sub bosses on ice caves. You basically have to get an inventory of high quality treasures and grind PvE/interactions if you don't want to PvP but still rank. Which means you can't extract gear at the higher end unless your treasures are all single slot purples or something

Yep. Stow your weapon and run away, or use ranged if you have the speed. It's actually one of the easiest things on Warlock to counter imho. Also in normals you should take your clothes off and run only boots and gloves, maybe a hat if it has stats, since you have to kite for your kills (and need as much speed as possible).

you need to go all treasure to maximize your AP gain and what's more, you virtually cannot do it without hitting the hoard pile.

The hoard pile is just a generator of wealth and it feels weird having the game revolve around it in order to progress in the game.

Hoard piles should be rare and not something required

Heres the changes. Highlights are pretty much all spellcasters are nerfed and levels are being made less insane. Why the chain lightning nerfs? I feel like its more likely to fry the wizards own team over killing a player.

Not him but this could get a little nasty potentially. I can already get one hit by a barb and damage can feel very high as it is. 2x might be high enough that one shotting squishy classes becomes a very easy stat to meet. Why does it feel like every change this game has is taken as negatively as possible.
>>
>>1227546
They could've achieved that by reducing damage of everything but headshots.

I learned last wipe not to main wizard, with so many sweeping changes/nerfs it's hard to keep up. Shit like barbarians getting a shield and you miss/they block your slow? GG. The fact that shields block hit scan spells baffles me.

Players are retarded too, most of the player base just w keys which is why when I switched to fighter last season demigod was easy, the only class I had issue with was good Rangers.

Also no knock spell for wizard, just fucking make the arcane lock thing unlock/open already locked objects

it teaches you about the game by making it a mission.

>>
>>1228163
way ahead of you, pretty much stopped playing because no solo ice caves. been playing on the test servers and its been pretty chill, basically a small community version of the same game. so dead you can solo whatever map you want
>>
What do you build as wizard? Just spam as much magic damage and I guess health/movespeed as you can get?
>>
>>1229577
>HP
>Magic Power (at least ~50%+) and some* Phys Power, preferably to at least -9%.
>Additional Magic
I run bonk wizard and take Arcane Shield which is why I run Additional Magic rather than true to help with the 50% scaling.
>8 Magic Staff + Additional 16 - 50% scale + 20 shield = 32 True Defense shield
Plus the 100% scaling on the blast which is 8+16+5 Damage blast, 29 free damage within range.

I feel my wizard HP is subpar if I'm not at least 130~ and I must* have Max HP on my staff so I expect at least 135 to consider myself in a good range of HP.
I search Marketplace for Vigor-based gear and filter for HP then search for whatever has Power/HP as additional rolls. bis to me for example would be Epic padded legs with +5-6HP, +3 Power and some other roll like strength or phys power since wiz physical (base white melee damage) is so low.

A decent build for me will headshot bonk +140-150 Damage with ignite, I haven't tested what it is now with the increased headshot multiplier. Move speed doesn't matter much to me lately but if you can get at least 290 you should be fine if your hp is already high enough.

Was it really necessary to buff warlock and then completely gut Bard? I get nerfing accelerando, but the Lament and Rapier Mastery was what made them viable in solos. Why even touch those? At this point, I don't even want multiclassing if this is the type of balancing they do because imagine how shit it'll be.

>>1238006
I think leveling strat right now is HR ice caverns. Dont even think about pvp if your goal is EXP and that means mob killing. Also feel free to go to crypts as well. If mobs are just too much for you go normal. You want to bring the crystal sword and spells along with meditate. Use magic missle for your main mob killing. Ice bolt and invis are also very important. Go around killing every fuckin mob you see maybe grab a few chests. If you go crypt make sure you go hell and kill the mini bosses there as well. If players show up either book it as fast as you can, accept your death, or something be chad enough to beat partys of geared players as naked wizard. And again dont forget goal is XP and mob killing making money and maybe winning a pvp fight is a happy accident not the goal. This will take awhile no matter what cause they made the grind longer.

the vast majority of ironmace's income is now based on people who are banned for cheating/rmt buying a new account. that's why gear power is more and more important every patch and they keep putting +all stat rolls etc in the game even after they remove it at the request of players

Ugh ehh no? Its also a class check. A class like warlock is a fuckin monster in whites compared to some of his peers. Ya sure your not gonna have some fighter rush you in his 40k gold kit but its also not like there isnt a massive class balance disparity down there as well.

it's really simple

>>
>>1239780
Depends on the lock playstyle but they largely win in wars of attrition, however they have no burst. People who actually know the game just walk away from BoC. Torture mastery phantomize builds are effective for wearing down opponents but they can't blast someone to death in three seconds from a safe distance like a wizard can.
Did lock need to be buffed this hotfix? Absolutely not but they're really not that crazy if you know the counterplay. I literally spent like two or three minutes camping a pillar against a curse spamming lock in HR caves yesterday and waited until he got impatient and then rushed him down at the perfect opportunity. Couple days earlier I was fighting a BIS'd out PDR demon lock and would just run away and camp him the second he went demon mode until I could wear him down and finish him off. You have to play cringe to beat cringe. Warlock is good but they're not great, that title goes to wizard no contest.

Btw the people playing warlock this season are the same skill deficient losers that were playing barbarian last season when that class was insanely overtuned.

really can't bring myself to keep playing the game as they make it worse every patch. deliberately designing the game to be unfair with high variance and massive gear weight does not make the game more "gritty and immersive". it makes the game extremely unrewarding to play well and saps the romance out of the game. the very premise that after a year of working to make the 3d audio better, they would ship a patch that removes footstep audio from all crouching players, just beggars belief. gear should be weak and allowed in normals again. sound queues and the kill log are the only two reliable ways that players ever had to make smart decisions regarding their match-by-match conduct. the rock-paper-scissors matchups of the classes can only produce a worthwhile game when players can pick their fights. these idiots want you to have 0 chance to know there is a barb in BiS crouching around the corner until he starts hitting you.

Solo HR is the worst it's been in months, I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. You'd have to be a masochist to bring in actual gear to HR when someone can just creep up behind you or stand around a corner and win the fight before it's even started. At least in normals you don't risk losing anything and extracting is all but guaranteed if you're not a noob.

i mean >>1241815 is right but ranger is difficult. most classes can easily break the gap between you and you need a gap to survive. you basically just need to constantly run away from enemies with your fists out and keep space between you while taking shots. jump when you switch weps or put weps away to maintain speed. jump when you're loading an arrow to maintain speed. consider playing with a rapier/hand crossbow as a secondary or a windlass as a crossbow. if you can open up a fight with a crossbow HS it can give you an advantage

in hotfix 15 they made gear weak by removing +allstats and toning down +wepdmg while also buffing drop rates, you could open a couple chests in gobbo and have a full kit good enough to compete at 90% effectiveness against nearly anybody out there. they promptly bungled the patch so badly that the servers wouldn't properly sync with each other and everybody's gear was getting rolled back every game, leading to tons of duping- you could trade somebody your viola, go suicide it by leaving the lobby before a match even starts, and then trade the same person a second one, etc. in less than a month they had wiped everybody's inventory with "hotfix #18" which they did under the guise of "wanting to test a large rebalance to our random modifier system" claiming that the problem was that it "added too much rng" despite the fact that the #15 had the lowest variance of any patch up until that point because anybody who had opened a couple chests had the same mix of mediocre blues and greens, and people bringing their duped godgear were getting taken down by 2 or 3 teaming players who had nothing to lose. since then we have only seen more and more gear emphasis until recently when people have universally started saying that if you don't have godgear in hr that you're playing at a disadvantage. there is obviously a deep desire from the devs for gear to be strong and, if possible, time-consuming to get. welcome to the "milking chinese whales without p2w" metagame where the devs get chang killed by a silent barb so that he is sent back to the goldbuyer website where he'll incentivize more botting and get himself banned (but not before he runs around 4 lobbies 1shotting everybody else)
>>
>>1243163
>le secrit conspiracy
have you ever considered that the devs are just bad (still better than you or anyone in this gen) at game design?
>>
>>1243240
i have considered and dismissed that possibility because every single other variable of design like whether class matchups should be rps-based or aim to be balanced, whether classes are balanced around solos or trios, whether having high armor should mean that you have low mdef or the opposite, whether the goal of balancing is for classes to have equal winrates, kill rates, or pick rates, whether there should be more portals than players, less portals than players, or the same amount, all of these factors fluctuate seemingly randomly.
the fact is that there is only one feature of their design philosophy with a perceptible and understandable trend and it is that they want fights to be decided by gear differences. patches where gear is unimpactful or quick to get are quickly rolled back and replaced with patches where gear is strong. if this is true, what feedback mechanism is reinforcing this behavior? likely sales, which increase as they ban chink cheaters in the hundreds each patch

>>1244279
If you have to ask probably not? It's changed quite a bit since the playtests (e.g., players have become more competitive and optimized, balance has improved significantly, having game knowledge is critical to surviving, etc.). You need to put a lot of time into the game for it to be a rewarding experience.
>>1243545
>grind 10k gold
>buy bis kit
That's your problem. In solos it's better to have several cheap, mid-tier kits than one BIS kit that you lose to something outside of your control. I typically don't spend more than 4000g on a single kit and avoid wearing any gear that's worth more than 1000g on its own. You want to be effective but not to the point that dying once will bankrupt and demoralize you.

There's always going to be things to complain about with balance (right now I think the hot topic this season is +2 All being such a dominant roll) but every class has the ability to kill every other class in the game if played correctly. Build diversity is also the best it's ever been and will be even more interesting when multiclassing is introduced in the near future.
>But I'm just a retard and am just bad.
Self-awareness is the most important thing you can have in this game, you may not succeed every raid but having strong mental fortitude will put you miles ahead of other players that auto-tilt when they lose to better gear, a tough class matchup, or just bad luck.

- Developers make a hard-line statement that no-sound movement is staying in, to expose ESP cheaters
- Someone who is full naked will make no sound
- Someone who is full cloth will make some sound, unless they're a rogue in which case they're silent
- Community gets told to fuck off
- Mixing armor types or wearing plate is immediately the loudest possible thing
- Movement type causes some armor types to amplify or dampen the volume level from movement
- Streamers get told to kill themselves if they don't like it
- Special clothing that's made from metal fabric makes more noise
- Modifier stat can be found that will reduce noise
- Rogue-only equipment gets a special anti-sound modifier that quiets more than just movements
- Revert all changes one week then put them back the next because the developers are ultimately pussies who can't make up their fucking minds on how the game should work, even when it's working correctly.

Really only cleric or warlock for wiz, the high base knowledge lets a lot of builds work. I'd say bard maybe but as soon as you finish buffing the others would wear off.

Rogue might be a fun one for memes, like turn a corner, go invis and zap them from behind or ranger just for back step.

This is the #1 problem plaguing games today. You have to listen to an extent, some changes they suggest will be important. But if you could just listen to player feedback and make a good game, 99% of games would be amazing. You can't design based on player feedback.

>>1262043
>game companies should ignore their playerbase, i.e., the people playing their game
>>
>>1261881
Your character's power level (not counting gear) used to be 85% at 0 hours, 92% at 2 hours, 97% at 5 hours and 100% at 10 hours (hours played representing level 1, 5, 10, and 15, no I don't care that you can grind them faster or new players take longer, if you reply saying that you're retarded). You got your best abilities immediately, and the best perk to start with every new perk being worse than the last. With multiclassing you need to grind level 30 multiple times and get lucky to reach 100% character power level. Completely ass change from a character growth perspective even without taking balance and class readability (not tf2 tier but damn good and important to the game) into account.

>fuck multiclassing no one wanted this bullshit
Multiclassing is good and fun for the game but it needs more fine-tuning and balancing to prevent huge power gaps between casuals and veterans. Clearly a skill tree is not in the cards for Ironmace right now if they're trying to implement this system specifically. Even if they did a skill tree it would probably be lackluster where it's just a increase in numbers depending on how you specialize (e.g., tier 1 of Slayer gives three weapon damage, tier 2 gives four damage, tier 3 gives five damage, etc.). Multiclassing is a good compromise to reward playing multiple characters and make leveling something useful and consistently rewarding.

RNG and the limited number of times you can play the slot machine is a huge deterrent to veterans. I was watching uToast (2000+ hours) yesterday and he said he didn't want to reroll his multiclassing or else his main character might be unplayable for a few days if he got the wrong stuff so clearly it's working as intended. Definitely not a perfect system by any means but should be recognized as a major step forward for the game.

Hopefully it won't be in the game. The only way it could work is if they severely limited and/or nerfed the perks, probably remove all skills too. Or just remove the class system and make everyone 15 all stats.

Retard
>>
>>1264840
Im more on the positive side for multiclassing but I hope it gets a ton of changes. For a start its showing how some classes like cleric are honestly just so bad that with multiclassing playing as them is kind of a joke but stealing their shit is insane. Some skills and perks are just to good im pretty sure ive seen sprint on every class at this point. Doubt they will nerf sprint though since its a fighter class and they are god chosen people. I think some sort of limit or general nerf on multiclassed skills/perks/spells is what they need to do. Like you can only take 1-2 multiclass things rest has to be main class or multiclassed abilities are just nerfed when on a different class. Also they REALLY need to think hard about how much they want the grind to be. I hated grinding cleric though I did it before they made it easier to level. Ultimately I dont know to an extent ide like to see them try an even crazier system where you just roll your own class with the choice of all equipment skills and stats. Let people just go full retard why not.

I hope it won't stay in no matter what they do to it. Such a lazy direction to take the game when they already couldn't balance the classes. it can just be a wacky joke from season 2...

this game fuckjng sucks and no amount of updates will make it good
the only reason I play this game because there has not been a clone of it yet that is actually good

IRONMOOSE SAID IT WAS EXPERIMENTAL, SURELY THEY WOULD ABANDON THE SYSTEM ALTOGETHER BECAUSE I SUCK AT THE GAME AND CAN'T ADAPT

"We hear your concerns about the loss of class identity.... just shut up, ok?"

So when are they gonna add guns?

every class has their own unique stats that benefit their main abilities
even still it is very obvious who is who in raid

multiclassing is fun
hope it stays in the game as much as possible

So do you guys notice people outrunning you with less speed? I've gotten very frustrated this wipe and quit playing because of it but didn't bother trying to record proof or anything. There was a reddit thread and they mostly agreed speed is fishy, and that there are a lot of stealth hackers giving themselves hidden speed boosts.

Nope, 1000+ hours and that has not once crossed my mind. Unrelated but are you taking your meds?
