The difference being Tarkov actually offers something whereas DnD is literally just a series of Unreal Engine modules cobbled together. I'm not going to give IM points simply for trying something 'new', an idea of which wasn't even theirs to begin with.

Best perks for solo beast druid? So far I have Shapeshift Mastery, Enhanced Wildness, and Thorn Coat, but none of the remaining ones look particularly good. Dreamwalk doesn't seem very useful for me since I'm rarely in human form, and the 3 second duration of Force of Nature makes it seem like it would be tough for me to get use out of it in solo.
Does Sun and Moon apply to myself? Is it just a free +3 vigor?
If nothing else I'd take Natural Healing, but 1 health every 3 seconds seems pretty pitiful.
>>
>>483393531
Dreamwalk is still good, especially if some one W keys you with a mob train on them, rat/chicken might be risky in that situation. Just get hit once and phase through them
>>
>>483394352
Now that you mention it, occasionally I've positioned myself badly in a room and been boxed in by a mob crowd, and I couldn't even rat/chicken away once I'm hit because of the bleeding. Dreamwalk would have definitely gotten me out of those situations.
>>
>>483393531
>Does Sun and Moon apply to myself? Is it just a free +3 vigor?
To answer my own question, I just checked and it does once you're actually in-game. It doesn't in the lobby, though.

Reminder that you shouldn't spend the whole time actually just looking at the ore while you're mining. You can move the camera a huge amount away from it, even more than you can while opening chests and looting bodies. The pickaxe doesn't even have to be visually hitting the ore.
You can use this to watch for approaching players even while mining.

It happened much earlier on in the games life cycle. There are videos on Jewtube showing it. To be fair it could probably be done again with all these new players.
>>
>>483371479
I don't know.
Half the appeal of the game is in its simplicity and slower pace. I've been wanting a grounded, slow and heavy crawler for a while and this is basically exactly it.

I feel like anyone else working with the formula would add in fancy attacks and cool animations and particle effects and movement options or whatever, which would ruin the appeal and make it into something totally different. A good comparison would be PUBG vs Apex, or TF2 vs Overwatch.
>>
>>483411074
>I've been wanting a grounded, slow and heavy crawler for a while and this is basically exactly it
I'd prefer if it were slow because each enemy were a challenge to fight, not because they're health sponges.
The latter just encourages me to ignore all mobs and blaze through the dungeons, which I can often do because they're so dumb and predictable that you can reliably open and close doors around their attack patterns. Or with druid, I don't even need to do that. I can just mousejump through the doors.
>>
>>483411074
Yeah that's true.
I can see another studio making DaD and turning it into a first person dark souls with a stamina bar and iframes.
But, in practice, DaD isn't really a dungeon crawler, everyone past a certain level plays it for PvP and just goes around running at people with their uber unbeatable gear and inventory full of heals.
Sub 25 is a more equal playing ground but then it has the opposite problem where at least half the lobby dies to PvE

>>
>>483422679
I don't have any info about panther, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0qQJijJeK0&t=732 goes over some STR -> damage numbers for bear. Keep in mind that this is probably relative to the training dummy who doesn't have armor, but still. Also I assume this is for a headshot with the bear's RMB attack.
>32 STR: 140 damage
>36 STR: 170 damage
>40 STR: 180 damage
>45 STR: 215 damage
>52 STR: 243 damage
>65 STR: 253 damage

I've got 15 STR in gray gear and my bear RMB headshots do like 54 damage, which I think is slightly better than my gray mace. But the other big advantage, aside from the bear's PDR, is that if I wanted to run up as a rat and then whack someone with my mace, I'd need to pull it out first. Animal forms can attack immediately, meaning I can weave between mouse, bear, and panther as the situation demands without ever having any downtime.

>why is it impossible to tell if exits have been used or not
Only Goblin Caves has this problem. On Howling Crypts and the ice map, if the gate is open, then if the torches on either side of it are lit it means no one has used it yet and unlit torches mean it's already been used.
Also every map does have a couple locations where there are three exit portals clustered together, as well as other evac options like ropes/elevators/rafts/etc. These are all marked blue on your map.
>>
>>483431261
I literally ran circles around this stupid ice mountain crap and didn't find any portarls

They're marked on your minimap. As blue staircases. You can see them from neighboring rooms.
>you have no idea why because you simply run into invisible wall with no indication of it being closed
In Goblin Caves at least when a staircase has been taken it caves in and is visibly blocked with rubble, but yeah in the other two maps you just have to know to look at the torches.
Also it turns out I was wrong about Ice Caverns having portals. Pic related is the full map and all exits.
The raft exits don't get "used up" and instead run periodically throughout the round, like the lift in Goblin Caves.

I really like how unlike a lot of other extraction shooter the players in Dark and Darker are way more likely to not instantly try to kill you and will leave you alone (or even team up with you) if you show you mean them no harm.
>>
>>483442870
Ranged attacks in general are stronger (in a meta sense) than melee attacks because you are either up against another ranged fighter, which means you're on equal footing, or you're up against a melee fighter, which means you have the advantage because you can damage them and they can't damage you. There are multiple ranged classes, but Ranger is the all-around strongest among them because they can carry a billion arrows while Wizards have finite spells before needing to rest and Warlocks have a relatively short range on most of their spells. Arrows also travel faster than any other projectile, making them less easy to dodge.
I have shit on Rangers as a beast Druid multiple times, but that's because they're unable to kite me due to my rat form - I just run up, turn into a bear, and maul them. They don't have the burst damage output to deal with me then. Normal classes with normal footspeed, though? I can see a ranger managing to kite them with good footwork and whittle their HP away.

>never seen them in game though
I've seen iron ore in the mine section on the north side of Goblin Caves, the room with all the purple crystals.
Notably, iron ingots can be crafted into lockpicks, which is the only source of lockpicks in the game aside from finding them randomly in the dungeon. It seems like many players either don't know this or can't be bothered to spend the time, because last I checked a stack of 3 lockpicks was going for 120g on the marketplace. You can get 2 lockpicks per ingot and you get 2 ingots from 3 ore, so that comes out to each piece of iron ore being worth about 53g when turned into lockpicks. I think each node contains 5-6 ore, so if you can manage to hit two nodes in a round that's 530g-636g worth of lockpick iron.
Note however, that it seems like you can't just become a lockpick factory. When I crafted the set of two lockpicks, that option disappeared from the service menu. It was back there later (after I had played some rounds) so I imagine that you can only craft such things once every so often. I don't know what the time frame is exactly - if it only requires you to go into the dungeon to refresh, you could simply join with default gear and kill yourself immediately every time to still become essentially a lockpick factory, though slower and more tedious.

I don't know the market rates of any of the other ores or the things that can be crafted with them. I imagine rubysilver gear goes for a lot, but that requires you to go to hell.

I don't actually know the specific stat breakdowns, I only play casters. I do know that Rangers get bow-related perks and abilities like a three-shot rapid fire. I suppose it also depends on your definition of "significantly" though.

On that note, how do you use lockpicks? The thing happens too fast and there's no tutorial. I tried to hit yellow sectors with left click and it did nothing. Am I supposed to hit space? I could test every single key but they are too expensive.
>>
dead game
>>
>>483453358
Yeah, hit space when the line is over the highlighted section. I think the smaller red portion in the middle instantly opens the chest whereas the yellow portions on either side simply continue the lockpicking and could lead to a second or third check, but I don't know that for sure.

I kill on sight. If someone asks me to team up, I'll either murder them outright or betray and backstab them in spectacular fashion. If I see faggots teaming in the dungeon, I will drop all my loot in a dark corner and make it my life's mission to murder both of them. Begging for your life over VoIP only encourages me to kill you except now I'm going to take my sweet time and make it agonizingly slow.

bear form M2 can smash doors/chests and it's better than mashing M1 because headshots, but spear stabs are better if you don't need the physical damage reduction from bear
>>
>>483468319
You can one-shot players if you max strength.
40+ strength does 240 damage to the head, legit kills anyone not bringing 50% PDR in one hit.
The right click scales with strength by 200% or something, used it a few times.

While bear form M1 probably has higher DPS than M2, fighting it is also more straightforward for the enemy because they outspeed you.
>wait for bear's M1 swipe
>step forward and stab it in the face

Sure, they could do this against the bear's M2 as well, but I think how much the bear's body moves around during the M2 at least makes it more difficult for them.

I like bear because if I were using a spear, I'd have to pull the spear out every time I shifted into a human. As a bear, I can just run up to someone as a rat, shift into a bear, and immediately start mauling them.

They are. Raising your affinity with the merchants by completing quests gives you more base gear options.
Completing the Weaponsmith's first quest (Aiding A Legacy) will give you access to base gear morningstar and spear, among other things. Same goes for the Leathersmith giving you more base gear leather armor options and the Tailor giving you more base gear cloth armor options, etc.

The devs implemented a multiclassing system several months ago, so they needed every class to be able to equip instruments in case the player wanted to multiclass into bard. There's not really a reason for it anymore. Drums are good for throwing, and the flute can be used to block then follow up with a parry attack
>>

Rogue is honestly one of the harder classes to play. in a straight out fight you'll always win but if they get the jump then just lay down, thats it.

Also the spiders always cluster up while chasing you and a single strike from a gray longsword can kill them, so you can just wave your sword around and poke all three in one hit. It's that easy.
Spiders really only gave me a problem as wizard because they took three staff hits to kill and the staff has a shit hitbox.

longsword + empty shield offhand or longsword + crossbow if you're willing to spend a little gold

Grey crossbow is free on fighter
Honestly that's the reason why I switched back to fighter, was playing ranger before but it fucking sucks. This game really has a problem with different weapon types not being balanced at all, and better types not being available in lower tiers. You can't get them from squire or buy them from vendors, you have to trade with players. That means you can't train with the weapon you want. It fucking sucks.
Since I didn't want a bow but wanted a crossbow, I figured I might as well just switch to fighter.
>longsword + empty shield offhand
But is longsword even any good? I tried it and it was decent for pve, but I'm afraid to even attempt pvp with it (not that I have a say in it), it's too slow. And what is empty shield for?
Xbow + spear is what I wanted for archer but spears aren't available on vendors
>realistically you should just pick up whatever trash you find from the first mobs you kill that is green
I do but some weapons have really shitty moveset which I can't tolerate, like hammer or viking sword. Falchion is kinda bad too.

Do the stat bonuses on my weapons only apply while I have the weapons out? Like if I've got a shield with +1 Additional Damage, does that affect the damage of my two-hand weapon in the other slot? Or what about health? Do I gain/lose max health depending on whether I'm wielding my +Health weapon?
If the bonuses apply as long as they're equipped, but not necessarily wielded, then couldn't I just stack two daggers that I never use in my second slot, purely for their stat bonuses?

>>
>>483566496
See >>1341938 for all the differences. Whether it's good enough depends on what you want/what things you care about.
There's nothing stopping a free account from climbing their way to a set of purple gear and stomping lobbies (although no High Roller, so no leaderboard/Adventure Points ranking) but not being able to sell things to other players means missing out on a lot of gold from rarer items you find but don't need, and if you decide you want to try a different class you'll be starting from square one rather than having access to all the gold and items you already built up with your earlier character(s).

You can upgrade at any time though, so you don't lose anything by trying it out for free and seeing if these issues really inconvenience you.

I played the demo during Next Fest and I absolutely hated it.
Movement felt even slower than Dark and Darker, and playing as a magic user is much less complex. You only had two spells, your mana recharged incredibly slowly and there was no meditation equivalent, and while you did get a staff that could cast magic and could be recharged manually, it didn't even deal enough damage to kill a single mob before running empty. Playing it just felt like an awful slog the entire time.

Meant to say shield also can work against wizards if they are zapping you like warlocks do with curse of pain. Most will try to shoot your legs but you can make it more difficult by jumping and trying to angle the shield to block them. Sometimes shields are kinda troll and just slow you down so some people just use no shield to move faster and sprint at them lol
>>
>>483569763
For beast-focused druid, just pile on as much strength as possible.
You could also go panther and stack AGI instead, but panther's squishier than your human form whereas bear is tankier.

>>483570162
I remember seeing a post complaining on how you really REALLY need a shit ton of strength to even out dmg a grey mace.

It’s crazy how base ranger is faster than rogue for mining. They start with higher resourcefulness and I think also agility which makes them mine the fastest compared to every class. If someone tries to fuck with you, shoot them with range and you have traps LOL. Rogue literally only has stealth going for it

Ambush seems weaker than Dagger Mastery because Ambush only applies to the first hit after coming out of hide. Unless you're suggesting stacking both of them.

>>
>>483574895
I’m suggesting both of them. Ambush and stealth are 100% necessary if you are running hide imo. Unless you really are adamant at going pickpocket, if that’s the case then you really should give up on killing anyone and just put all your perks and skills into enabling pickpocket.

TRUE LOL. Rat can also go through so many open holes in walls that are in crypts. So annoying to chase and deal with. Rogue players can still be annoying with hand crossbow or landmining tho
>>
>>483575487
You don’t need to hide for long. Just camp an area, wait until you hear footsteps getting closer or a door opening and hope they didn’t see you through the window or hear you. Go invis with hide and try to landmine them with headshots if they are not a barb or fighter. If they are a barb or fighter. Just kite back with hand cross or throwing knife and be annoying. When you think they are low enough, run up to them and then just use hide in their face to get ambush and finish them off. Can use rupture spam on throwables for good poke. Can use weakpoint for stealth all in or rupture

That being said, the game is the most balanced it's ever been. Any class can be effective in solos if you build properly and know what you're doing. My advice is to pick the class that is most interesting to you personally, and you will find success.

I honestly hope people keep saying Wizard is ass in normals. People always rush me thinking I'm an easy kill, but then it turns out I'm a tanky ass bonk wizard. I've even swapped the book out for a crossbow sometimes cause I don't care if people catch up to me in a fight.

I feel like I have more player kills on my druid than on my warlock and wizard combined. I really love his ability to just instantly disengage from fights whenever he wants. No one is fast enough to chase me in rat form and most ranged fighters aren't accurate enough to kill me from a distance.
I like rushing up to someone while they're fighting mobs or looting a chest and just turning into a bear and instantly mauling them.

Melee is more casual and I don't like it, even though I suck at darker combat.

But magic looks so much better in that game.

What? The attack patterns actually have interesting combos and change your movement, just look at the dual daggers in that game, DnD has the worst combat a modern game can possibly have, its the same as every other low effort indie survivalcraft game, the worst of the worst of the worst. Attack, walk away, attack, walk away

How? Doesn't affinity only impact the selection you have for base gear?
>>
>>483673717
affinity improves the gear the merchant sells you AND allows you access to craft-able gear in their service window. Tailor has some of the best and most applicable pieces of gear that most classes can wear which is why he's a crucial merchant.

If you level him up you'll get access to him selling you purple gear and craft gold gear and the like.

That was me and my impression was based entirely off of playing Wizard during the playtest a few months ago.

Quick rundown? During the playtest months ago casters got two innate spells and could use rechargeable staffs to shoot staff-specific spells that were borderline uselessly weak, and that was it.

I disagree. Even base kit wizard in DaD gives you five spells, and with gear you can afford to take Spell Memory II and have up to 10 options.
I like to play magic users because I like having as many different tools at my disposal as possible. In Dungeonborne I was effectively just a Pyroblast turret, and that was boring to me.

Ya, but eventually I grew to hate it because you would have rangers crouching in bushes with a dozen traps around them. I think they need to redo crypts to make more areas open instead of a hallway train simulator. Especially now with trent/hydra summons blocking more shit.

Do people from here ever play together?
I generally stick to under-25s because I'm often completing quests and such, but I've stockpiled enough green/blue gear that I'm running out of inventory space on multiple characters. It wouldn't hurt to burn through some of it.

When I played it it felt to arcadey, like a first person MOBA. When I unlocked Death Knight I was shitting on lobbies and still not having much fun.

I had fun for a little bit in Marauders but balance was shit with weapons and you could lose at the start of a match because someone could board your ship as soon as you spawn in or get blown up by a team with a capital ship.

Candelabras, along with many other "decorative" items, are just loot. Their only use is to sell them to the Collector for gold.
The only class-specific items (as in, unusable by other classes) are weapons and armor.
>>
>>483686701
Centipede is ezpz. Its physical attack is heavily telegraphed and easily dodged by strafing left or right and you can dodge the acid spit by ducking and looking all the way down at the floor.
>>
>>483686841
Ah, I assumed it was a casting instrument like a wand.
I'm assuming that was a crazy one-off, though? As in, players don't normally act friendly and its mostly just attack on sight?

>>483687592
>Ah, I assumed it was a casting instrument like a wand
The only casting implements (currently) are staffs, spellbooks, and crystal balls. Also musical instruments, but that's specific to Bard.
>I'm assuming that was a crazy one-off, though? As in, players don't normally act friendly and its mostly just attack on sight?
It's not THAT crazy, but it definitely is unusual in solos. Most of the time, it is attack on sight. A decent chunk of the time, two players may see each other and mutually decide to go their separate ways, possibly because they don't think what the other has is worth potentially losing what they've gathered, or because they're trying to complete quests rather than PvP and whatever loot the other has isn't worth the inconvenience of dying. Crouch spamming is typically the way this sort of thing is communicated.
True cooperation is pretty rare, because you can never be completely certain the other person won't stab you in the back. I feel like cooperation is far more likely (than it is by default, I mean. It's still unlikely overall) if both parties have voice chat, though.

Headshots deal more damage to the bear just like any other mob, but the bear does have higher physical damage resistance and health overall, so it won't kill as quickly as it would a human.

What I find funny about Dreamwalk is that it doesn't even interrupt actions. If you're in the middle of opening a door or portal when you get hit, you can finish without worry. Hell, you can use a health shrine mid battle because the enemy can only hit you once and then you finish using the shrine before they're able to hit you again.

>>483789878
It's good in the sense that it has high survivability with regard to mobs/PvP because you can turn into a rat and disengage whenever you want.
It's not so good in the sense that if you're a new player you're not going to know where all the traps and such are and floor spikes will one-shot you if you're in rat form. Pretty much anything will, but floor spikes in particular are something you won't see coming because your camera is so low to the ground.
You can mostly mitigate that issue by just not running long distances in rat form until you've got the map layouts and common trap locations down, though.

Mining as a rogue is peak comfy gameplay.
stack movement speed with double jump and the backflip skill and you can poke whoever tries to kill you with rupture and a hand crossbow indefinitely.

How significant are these low numbers? When I see +3 STAT is that a massive bonus? What about armor? I can't really determine the range of these values

If the reward is a skin, it applies to all characters because skins are always account-wide. I'm pretty sure the same is true for emotes as well, but I don't know for sure.
If the reward is like, gold or something, that only goes to the character who has the rank.

The impact of stat bonuses depends on scaling, which I don't fully understand. But as far as stat bonuses go, +3 for one piece of gear is pretty decent.
Generally, gray gear has +1, white gear has +2, green gear has +3, and so on.
>>
>>483920507
Also I forgot to mention for the halberd skeletons: Make sure you're angling your shield to match the direction of their swings. If they do an overhead swing, you need to look up with your shield. Otherwise their halberd will just go over the top of your shield and hit you in the head.
If you want to dodge instead, against enemies with reach weapons, make sure you turn fully around and run away rather than backing up while looking at him. You move faster when moving forward instead of backward, and you need the extra speed against reach weapons.

It's just how the game kills me with bugs.
Why should I leave elevator if there's more than 4 minutes on timer and if it arrives, it departs immediately so I literally can't look away for a second? It's the only escape method that's reusable, that's why. Why do you ask dumb questions? I'm the dumb here.

>>
>>483935084
It's the reason why Warlock is the meta for soloing bosses. It absolutely shits out damage, especially on large/slow enemies. It's great for dealing with smaller mobs too, because you can kite them and they'll just blindly walk into it. You can also abuse it in Hell by aggroing enemies, having them chase you to a door and shutting it behind you, and then nuking them through the door since all Hell doors are unbreakable.

Against players it's primarily useful for temporarily blocking doors/choke points. Since it deals so much damage and moves so slowly, players aren't going to want to get near it, so it can buy you a few seconds as they wait for it to pass.
>>
>>483934580
elevator is consistent you just have to play around it. it comes down three times a raid and stays for roughly 12 seconds before it goes up whether someone gets on or not. I think the exact timing can vary but I've been on one that left with ~60 seconds left in the raid.

it makes a big fuck-off noise when it starts to descend, and then it makes another big noise when it starts to go up. it's a really simple mechanic, but if you are a solo player you don't really need to prioritize the elevator cause there are plenty of solo ones around the map you can take.

Couldnt reply earlier. I had the same thing years ago raiding in wow as a healer, turns out I have extreme anxiety. Go to your doctor and tell him you want anxiety meds. When he suggests SSRI anti-depressants which also are used to treat anxiety state you have medical objections to all SSRIs so now thats not an option whats the second choice. That should be Lorazepam or a similar benzodiazepines. Theyre losing the patents on shit like Ativan and people can buy generics so they try to make you take something else thats newer and less tested etc. Medical objections are your friend, doctors arent allowed to force shit on you if you protest for medical objection reasons. Just use that until you get the actual meds you need. TLDR you take that shit before anything stressful and you can suddenly focus clearly without shaking.

I fucking hate kobolds. They're the only non-flying enemy in the whole game that is fast enough to keep up with the player and prevent you from being able to just go room to room opening and closing doors without taking damage - they always catch up to you as you're opening a door. Also it seems like over half of them are archers, so you have that to worry about while trying to kite the kobold horde.

Clerics are great for PvE but you *will* get fucking rekt by anyone faster than you (everyone), whether it be a bard sidestepping and poking you with his rapier or a warlock literally walking backwards and casting spells.
>>
>>483962371
>>483968432
Both of these are kinda true. I have mained solo cleric since P4 and I got demi season 1 / voy season 2
Cleric is slow as dicks and you have to invest a lot into agi to keep up with faster classes
Because of this, you then get stat checked in most melee encounters so you're forced into playing spell cleric with the melee as a finisher if they catch you. The new meta is pdr melee cleric, which just reverses the scene; you get kited by faster classes unless they misplay and you statcheck everyone in melee combat, but if your opponent is decent at the game they'll just 180 and walk away the second they see smite or divine protection used.

>>483915665
Cleric is extremely tanky while also dealing really good damage. Their biggest weakness is being the slowest class in the entire game by far and having like one viable ranged option. They'll never be able to catch up to another player without a shit ton of agi gear, but instead of running away and kiting forever, players get impatient and think "ok I hit him with 2-3 ranged attacks/spells, time to run into melee and finish him off" only to die and realize the cleric still has 2/3 health remaining.
But I feel like this has literally always been the case so I don't see why it's suddenly an issue.

>>
>>483938012

what are you talking about

>>
>>483984357
>boats are fucking broken just like elevator and never work
I have escaped on the rafts multiple times. What do you mean never work? You literally just jump onto one as it passes by, and when it carries you into the tunnel zone, you escape. That's it.
>every other exit is inaccessible beause they're too far away and you need to go through like 4-5 rooms
There is an exit adjacent to literally every room. LITERALLY every room. In fact, looking at the map, every room without an exit is actually bordered by at least two rooms which have exits, either cardinally or diagonally. Some rooms are bordered by three rooms with exits.
Now sure, you might have to go through multiple rooms to find an unused exit, but that's not the same thing as the exits being "inaccessible" and if you're that worried about it then just find one to camp at the five minute mark so you can enter it when it opens, before anyone else does.

>>483984715
>but you don't have pvp for another reason, because people spend 5 minutes looking for exits
Even if this is the case, it's still ultimately due to people being spread out over too large of an area.
>>
>>483986143
>What do you mean never work?
I mean I spawned right next to one and never saw it appear. I literally have no idea what it looks like despite hanging around the spots where they should be all the time. Not a single time one appeared.
>that's not the same thing as the exits being "inaccessible"
it is when every room has giants, yetis, wolves and a billion of kobolds who nobody kills
>it's still ultimately due to people being spread out over too large of an area.

Nothing, I'm saying them wanting to engage is irrelevant. Whether they're looking for an exit or for another player, the outcome is the same if I never see them either way because we're always in different parts of the map.
>>
>>483989703
It takes a bit of time for the merchants to "update" after you raise their affinity. I don't know if this applies to the squire offerings, but it applies to what they sell and what they'll craft for you.
For me it usually happens in 5 minutes or so, or after playing another round.
>>
>>483989475
>I mean I spawned right next to one and never saw it appear.
I don't know what to tell you. I've seen rafts come through multiple times in the same round, and have used them to exit many times. You can even hear them when they're moving if you're in the room, they make a distinct wooden creaking sound.
>it is when every room has giants, yetis, wolves and a billion of kobolds who nobody kills
Learn to juke enemies and move from room to room without needing to clear all the PvE trash. This is easier with some classes than others, but every class can do it.
The yetis are a problem I grant, but there's only like four on the map, and one of those is locked behind ice blocks and the other is in a room that's a dead end anyway.

What possesses people to sell BiS purples for 100-200 gold is beyond me.
>>
>>483997412
I usually sell everything.
so it's fine to just slowly upgrade into green gear as I pick it up?
>>
>>483998912
One green weapon or a couple green armor pieces is going to put you into >25, which you may not want if the rest of your kit is gray. But you can definitely be keeping green/blue stuff in your stash until you get a full kit's worth and then equip it all at once. You may still get rolled because there will be people with blue/purple/orange sets in that mix, but the only solution to that is just saving up for/finding even better gear.
If you do want to buy gear, some pieces end up on the marketplace for quite cheap because they're quest items and such, and the guaranteed supply drives down demand and thus price. I've seen blue armor pieces on there for 30g-50g before, so cheap sometimes that I sell mine to a merchant instead. Other blues can run as high as 100g-200g each though, depending on what it is and the stats it has.
>>
Fun fact: If you get to 75 affinity with a merchant, they'll start providing white gear for your base gear options from them instead of gray gear.
>>
Does the magical damage stat for spellbooks and staffs and such impact things like healing spells or summons like the hydra or treant? Or is it just for spells that deal damage directly?
>>
there shouldn't be gear matchmaking pools at all, just make gear upgrades not that strong. I just don't see a reason to play above 25gs ever.
>>
>>483997775
That's not the point. Gook economy is completely retarded. Shit costs thousands of gold but you can't store or move that amount in a sensible way, and a fucking bag that holds 1000 coins costs 6000. How much chromosomes above the norm they need to have to look at this and think it's fine?

The only people buying those bags are the people drowning in gold who can no longer be bothered to even farm the cave troll or do the goblin merchant's quests to get more.

His room is underneath the Goblin Town area, the part of goblin caves with like three levels full of wooden ramps and bridges and such.
At the ground level, there are two ramps at the edges of the room which lead down to his room.
You can fight him in gray gear, and in fact most people do, because he's so strong that even in real gear just a couple hits from him will obliterate you and then you've lost the kit. By doing it in grays you might get killed in one hit, but at least you're not risking anything.

Skeletons are the smallest problem. They are a bit tougher than normal skeletons and can take 1 more hit sometimes, but everything else is just the same. Well, their numbers are also double or triple of crypts. Yeah, ice cavern sucks.
When you get overwhelmed look for cheese spots. You can get on top of shelves where skeletons can't reach you. Well, they still technically can, but if you hug the wall they will miss 90% of time. Enough for you to survive bullshit. I managed to cheese a giant that way too but for whatever reason he didn't follow me to the cage with a shelf but was hanging out in neighboring cage, like he couldn't pass through doors or something. But I'm pretty sure they can pass, his pathfinding just broke. Another way to cheese melee skeletons is to use slopes and steps (in a pyramid). They try to walk to you before attacking even if they can reach you, so jumping up a slope will make them go the long way. They will counterattack when you hit them, but it still makes it much easier to deal with them, and doing rounds around slopes helps you not pulling more enemiesnfrom somewhere else?
The real problem is archers. They shoot through fucking walls. Fucking cancer.

Perks on warlock but I'm not sure if the extra duration is worth losing the will bonus. Also is life drain just garbage? Using hydra+life drain takes forever to kill mobs, it seems more efficient to use hydra+ pain

Finally, why do I see people using the longsword over the falchion? The longsword deals like 5 more damage, swings much slower and requires that you switch weapons to cast

Essentially be really good, or know all the cheese spots to jump on and trivially whittle them down. Warlocks aggro demons etc, then close a door and hellfire them through the door over and over. Really lame. Watching someone actually clear the lower levels is painful.

I've seen things parried that shouldn't be possible, so I'd say anything from the wyvern that's a projectile or melee attack should be parryable
How's everyone's leaderboard progress? I have a few days off this week for the 4th so hopefully I push to demi before they roll out the matchmaking changes IM has been promising

How the fuck do you beat the Yeti?

Just dodge him, bro. This video does a good job of showing how to avoid ice cavern enemies

A little scared to play high roller. Feel like when I do, I don’t see too many players. it’s a pain in the ass farming AP on wizard and I haven’t really gotten around to biting the bullet and playing warlock

Do I have to watch video tutorials to learn the PvM in this game?
I've been learning this pretty naturally (and dying a lot)

Blocking in this game is actually hard. Honestly this game is just unintuitive you are likely to die many times before your first escape

Are there better drops in 25+ gear score than 1-24 gear score games?
>>
>>484137826
No, it’s just high roller vs low roller and how much luck your character has

The shield covers only a small portion of your body, you can still be hit anywhere else that you are not covering.
You can cover your head with the shield if you look up.

Someone make a new /vg/ thread.

Extraction games probably have the lowest IQ out of most gaming audiences
