Stop crying over the updates and just play and have fun, ok?
No.
>>1946834Fucking cunt. You need to forgive the devs man it's still in fucking early access? Why yall act like it's the full version already? Can't you finna realize things change when it's in EARLY ACCESS? If you're going to play an Early Access game keep an open mind.
>>1947211Fucking this man. Someone is speaking real shit!
>>1946476This is sound advice. I am dropping everything and joining right now.
>>1946476I havent played since before their "chinese new year vacation" or whatever they called it.>Patch comes out making Barbarian fast as shit, and extremely overpowered>Longsword in its normal insane state>Vacation for 2 full weeks>Patch afterwards comes out, small bug fixes, nothing memorable (4 days later)>Next week 4-7ish days later was another nothing patchI stopped playing here, but kept checking patchnotes for a while>New season comes out-PVE baby mode added>PVE baby mode balancing>Stopping players from harming each other in PVE baby mode>PVE baby mode being removedFinally a good patchI played a few games here of forced trios but thanks to solos and duos, I cant 1vs1 players depending on their class let alone 1vs3 players anymore. The game from the playtests is long gone now...>Removal of solos and duos!!!!>Renig on removal of solos and duos after only about a weekI really havent played much in a long time. No content has been added, Ive played the game for more than 2 hours so I dont need a PVE tutorial mode, I was promised the Monk and Pirate Map but both got delayed because the game went free2claim on epic so suddenly overnight the playerbase now wanted the exact opposite of what they wanted prior? Trios only has been removed, so we're taking another step backwards towards casualization. Its just really frustrating. The playtest game was so much better.
>>1946476Didn't they promise more utility spells for Wizard before/during the Sorc release? Instead of Knock we get a shitty magic lock spell and Sorc is honestly the more supporty class, I would kill for mud shield in this meta.>>1949715Fresh wipes feel like the playtest for a few days, so that feeling will never go away unless they fuck up gear/class balance again on a wipe. They honestly need to rush out the new classes, Paladin alone would get a shit ton of people trying their game.
Besides the already posted about issues in this thread amd class balance being schizophrenic there is 2 big issues with the game right now> 1. Continous dungeonA feature no one but SDF wanted so that you can spawn into a dungeon with half the time gone, every enemy killed or chest looted, every escape portal used, and a good chance of spawning right next to someone or having someone spawn behind you. Its a retarded system that has had constant complaints since its inception and has ruined the old feeling of entering a dungeon.> 2. NO GEAR BRACKETSThis convinced me that the developers have their fingers in the RMT pie as only after a bunch of updates that only made sense to be beneficial if you are a RMT buyer/seller tanked the playerbase to 1/10ths of what it was for years did they decide that having timmy in starting gear spawn in with kiggerniller69 who has all unique gemmed gear and a artifact weapon was okay. For a game with already insane balance issues I wont elaborate on why this is retarded.Ill come back for the new map release briefly but if the game keeps making thw most insane choices in regards to mew features/balance I may uninstall forever.
>>1953439Devs are definitely in on the RMT, when they made the game for free on epic for a day that told me it all. Then when epic removed their version almost immediately the devs come out saying they are working on a solution.Its not surprising, but they do seem to hide it better than the Tarkov devs.
ryan6days game + project vision , last hopes of a game similar to this
games with wipes are poorly designed
Arena FPS is just gay and boring. No matter how you coat it. Having massive gear differences also make everything worse.
Get rid of random rolls and rarity tiers then make variations of the weapons with slightly different abilities, like in TF2. You can turn the artifacts into these as well
>new water themed map comes out>the ability to fish (which was in the mobile version) is not included>wood cutting isI hate these retards so much

>>1976222>**Wizard**>- Melt: Applies an additional 10% projectile damage reduction penalty.>- Sage: Knowledge bonus increased from 10% to 15%.This is so fucking sad. Wizard gets completely shafted because Sorcerer does everything he does, but better
>>1976243Yes this was my take away, I was a wizard main but have not played all year. I am hoping there is some unlisted changes like at least makes magic lock able to unlock chest but I doubt it.
>>1976230>@everyone, We apologize. Due to issues discovered during the patch process, maintenance is expected to continue for approximately 3 hours.Every Single Time.
>>1976282a lot of wiz are doin ignite weapon and rondel lately, seen i'd say more wiz than sorc lately as well>>1976325here i thought i'd do a few more races in sanic instead of getting sucked into silent hill because somehow i thought there wouldn't be multiple delays
>>1976597Outside of arena Sorc is better than wiz. Problem is Wiz is extremely good in arenas and instead of balancing around that by maybe preventing spell regen inbetween round, the devs refuse to give them anything except nerfs to their overall performance. The spell reflect 15% MR buff is specifically targeted at wizards.Fuck you'd probably just pop it and purposely tank fireballs as you run at the enemy.
>>1976214future reference, you can just paste everything onto pastebin then post the link
water map is pretty cool, ngl
>>1977523Unbalanced as fuck but fun, I like all the sea life but underwater combat sucks
>>1977784I like it but it sucks for no shield classes, dunno how you're supposed to avoid attacks
>>1947211>yall>finna
>>1976214>>1976215>>1976217I had literally given up on this game, but I have to say that this patch has renewed my hope. The general buffs across the board is great, the PVE is fun to fuck around in with little stress and the Squires to Riches is now my friends and my main/primary mode. It'd just a great patch overall. I really didn't think they had it in them. I am still not buying Legendary Status, but its a solid patch and I am going to play more and see how they manage the future patches. Again, god damn Squire to Riches is just such a great mode for pvp. The only thing they could do to make PVP better is change arena to be a mode with normalized stats and gear. As in, no stat checks, everyone enters even and fights it out that way (but I dont own legend so that says how i have little interest in it until something like this is accomplished).
i didn't realize I wanted penguin submarine gameplay but here we are.
Is the patch as game changing as they were advertising?
>>1978717The class changes have shaken up the meta enough that no specific class feels like an instant loss against it, the new map is pretty cool along with the new squire to riches mode being fun.
I wish they dropped the whole dungeon crawling nonsense and expanded the water map to a whole separate new game where you get to play different animals in a persistent open world PvP game.I've had more fun playing penguin submarine the past couple of nights than probably the past couple years of regular DaD combined. I'm the underwater apex predator (right after the shark).
is squire to riches just 0 gear score lobbies? or is there some nuance?>>1978438a separate normalized arena would be fine, I would love lots of various arena modes. but the current system they have works good. run through the dungeons to do your quests, craft items, finalize your kit, and then put it to the test in arena. part of the game is gearing, that's just how it is. you could leave ranked arena as is on the timed schedule, and then have other wacky modes throughout the week. I want FFA, 2v2v2v2, 6v6, on goofy maps like a shanty town from the water map, or two big boats next to each other with gangplanks in between.
Goddamn this game suffers hard from playing with randoms in regards to the quality of your team mates, 8/10 games I get actual retards or actively malicious randoms. Though sometimes I do get some people of the same wavelength and we make it to inferno winning every team fight and escape with great loot.>>1980603Squires to riches is trios only random map and you can only bring in common(white) quality items. This doesnt stop you from bringing in a gorillion cheap potions and bandages or queueing up solo if you wanna rat around. My only complaint is how continous ruins it because besides it almost being guranteed that your gonna be third partied but wiping a team just means a new healthy team gets spawned in their place.
Havent played in a year, is the grinding still miserably numb for this game? I remember loving everything else but actually getting ahead was fucking stupidly slow no matter what you did
>>1980948just do pve mode to get ur quests done m8,me personally i aint doin pve mode so my quests will get done when/if they get done, ill still check shit that upgrades squire/keep an eye out for those quests but cant be assed for the rest rlly
>>1980948drop rates were pumped big time you get blues and purples right off the rip in the spawn room chests. you can ignore quests generally but if you're ocd about it you won't like it.
>>1981080>pve modedo niggers really?
>>1981318>PvE Yes, how exactly did you stupid faggots think this would go after an entire year of whining and refusing to compromise over balancing gear disparity? You fags literally almost killed the game in your endless crying about maintaining the gear disparity and stat check meta. So they added PvE, because no one wants to fight tooth and nail thru a dungeon, casually learning as they go, only to get curb stomped by some cunt with BIS who doesn't even bother to loot you except your pots because they know you're not worth it. Like I get it takes time to learn and git gud, but Jesus man, you can't deny this shit was fucking lopsided as hell and at the end of the day, a PvE mode was a logical outgrowth and conclusion to the battle over balancing gear or keeping the current stat check meta.
>>1982277Me? I would love for the game to be 100% skill based I find the general gameplay to be an absolute joke. Like a high schooler's survival game project. The player interactions is the only reason to play this slop. The PvE elements of this game are pure sewage
>>1981080They really need to cut back on the Quest, so much "kill these mobs" or "go to this module and escape alive" Just to get them out of the way I go to PVE because I want to make sure I can craft shit for arena
>Questing in normals on mostly naked Barb in greys>Rogue in BiS normals gear wants to fight>W key him with grey felling axelol, lmao even!
I am the PVE
>>1983110Based barb enjoyer
Anyone who has success in this game I ask what I should build if I’m playing fighter or ranger thank you. I feel like my builds are bad.
>>1986833Longsword fighter is a trap unless you have super low latency and even then its risky but when you do parry people you one tap them. I would just go slayer build on low gear. High gear is probably something like rondel buckler in full plate with MS perks/gearA good ranger with backstep is near unkillable, also works under water. low gear is just recurv/longbow at high gear with action speed and true damage survival bow is OP
>>1987213I don’t have slayer figured out because I’ll shoot them and then all in but I just feel so squishy and get killed. Do you windlass with slayer or ranger? What about spear back step or shotgun blast? Thanks also is it just me or are explosive bottles/lanterns garbage.
>>1987393>>1987213This is mainly my gripe playing fighter too because especially starting out I feel barbs stat check me. I haven’t gotten far yet tho, like I’ll shoot barbs playing fighter a lot but they still fucking kick my ass. I also struggle against barbs and fighters when I’m playing ranger
>>1987393Slayer with adren skill and perk then you hold left click with a sword weapon. You should not need sprint but it depends on the lobby if there are a lot of people kiting. Windlass takes to long to load especially on fighter so I would use a bow or crossbow instead.On ranger one of my favorite no gear build is crossbow mastery and just a regular crossbow, then spear/backstep. Shotgun has been meh for awhile, they changed the point at which it fans out so if someone is in your face it will shoot past them and again depending on latency it may miss them point blank.Explosive bottles are just free chip damage but ya pretty useless unless killing a rat druid or finding a rogue in stealth.>>1987396Base kit barb is probably the best in squire gear class RN. Felling axe right now hits like a truck so if you see it bait out a wiff then hit them. Only good bards seem to counter good barbs right now thanks to their action speed/MS
if I want to primarily boss and kill minibosses like skeleton champ, demon centaur and stuff and basically just dunk on the pve but still be effective in pvp, is longsword fighter with crossbow a good way to play like that? What will fuck me
>>1987513I really like bard and warlock for bidding. Long sword fighter is really good against some bosses too if you land parry, but I find either the ping ir latency it’s too much of a gamble for pvp
>>1987396>>1987393After some testing I think Slayer is pretty good, it has decent action speed even in base kit allowing to you to bait out rogues/kiters by switching to your cross bow or potion and back to melee weapons. Funny enough I died soon after this to another slayer fighter
>>1989090Damn you go second wind and adrenaline rush? I thought the meta was sprint and adrenaline rush.
>>1989372Sprint is probably better, it just depends on how many people in a lobby are faster
What ever happened to Jaygriff? I remember him crashing out because the millionaire game dev wouldn't stop banging korean chicks to hang out w him. He was streaming GTAV to less than 80 people last time I saw him, crazy to think he was the biggest streamer for this game.
>>1991477He was on the podcast with the people talking about how much of a nightmare the game devs were to work with. At first he was heavily defending the game but finally mentioned that outside of bug reports he and Graysun never really talked despite him being the biggest content creator at the time. Then Graysun either getting things lost in translation, being a huge schizo or both ranted paragraphs long at him and he decided to quit.All that said I get the impression the devs never really liked him, it seemed they ignored all his opinions and would balance wizard around him routinely. With him gone maybe wizard can get some love.
>>1991492>He was on the podcast with the people talking about how much of a nightmare the game devs were to work withJay doesn't "work" though, he plays video games in front of an audience of less than 80 peopleTerminally online twitch fags blew their loads because Jay crashed out, just for him to become an irrelevant GTAV streamer that gets 76 viewers. Graysun is a literal millionaire knee deep in korean pussy, who tf expects him to hang out with a megadepressed person like Jay? (aside from Redditors such as yourself)
>>1991512Calm down greysun
>>1991477>>1991492wtf what is this entitlement? Why is it expected for devs to talk to retarded streamers?
Gobo Gang rise up
I cant decide which class I hate more, rogue or barbarians.
Bargain needs to be changed. I think they should make it more akin to playing as a scav in Tarkov. 1: you can not play as mini bosses. 2: you choose to enter a map as an NPC with a bargain point, not when you die. 3: you can enter norms or HR (hr costs gold as well) 4: you may loot items off players bodies and other NPCs (cannot open chests etc)5: if you survive until the map ends/closes you extract and keep the loot and it goes to the goblin (or watchman, which ever is best for balance). 6: if you extract you are refunded your bargain point (maybe not?). Basically this would normalize the process of playing as an NPC. It's a choice you make when you queue, not when you die. The way you can die and then respawn to rush someone down with zero mob aggro and try for a revenge kill is ridiculous and it's especially frustrating for more casual or new players. I love the bargain mechanic, it's awesome, but it needs to be a functional choice and not a fucking revenge spawn mechanic. This also fixes the issue of people wanting to just suicide and go bargain.
I want to main wizard so bad but I want to be able to fucking kill bosses
>>1993672Bargain is fine for the most part, its good that you can't just spawn in as a monster at the start and you have to clear pve for it. Prevents shit like five gobos rushing you down at cave troll 2 min in while punishing the long game farmers who loot both bosses + gold with 4 min left like the clip here >>1992301 Plus once market opens up people are going to be running around in full purple sets making even player pve mobs a jokeI do agree you should not be mini bosses but if they insist on it give players a warning message and maybe a minimap ping + extra reward drops from it
>>1993828>Prevents shit like five gobos rushing you down at cave troll 2 min inMeh, I think you're upside down in your logic. 5 gobs rushing troll happens currently (we know this from countless complaints and videos as evidence) so the core of your argument is invalid. However, if bargain is part of the matchmaking process, they can limit timings and number of bargain players in any given instance at a time. Meanwhile, keeping the current situation, as you've argued for still allows for 5 gobs to rush down troll and it doesn't fix the issue of revenge rushes either, which are absolute 100% bullshit. I kill a player and it's a hard fight, so I am low of supplies, next thing I know a player controlled goblin of that same player rushes me down and I have to have another battle. It's gay as fuck.
Ok realistically what’s the counter to Druid in solos nigga. Should I just never play casters or ranger. Panther poopy rapes me
>>1997982slayer rapes nearly all classes currently bud. Druids get absolutely folded along with rogues, barbs, clerics, warlocks, bards, ranger and wizard. A good Sorc player can be tricky but can fold them in the end. Anyone who doesn't understand just how over tuned Slayer is right now frankly doesn't know shit about Dark and Darker lol
>>1998384Alright so just pick slayer.
>>1998384Slayer is way overtuned at least in base kit gear, I've been using it to farm mobs for bargains. Have not messed with it in gear though. Like half of the fighter perks/abilities now give MS so something like slayer with gear would probably be near MS cap even with out sprint. Watched a clip of a streamer the other day crying that fighter was to slow, meanwhile hes full plate with sword and shield out chasing a rogue.Also discovered flanged mace with a short sword still gets the sword perk benefit and melts people even faster.
>>1997982I think Wiz is actually good against druid, you can blow them up relatively quick but I hope you picked zorin for your religion, the spell pen is huge on them. Problem I notice now is everyone is running rogue so there are landmines everywhere, and people in HR tend to just run away. Normals just feels like bullying everyone but thats where the pvp is
if my bud mains barb, what should i play to duo with him for maximum effectiveness
>>1999457Wizard or Bard in order to haste/invis or the movement speed songs from bard for him
How the fuck do I play sorcerer? Wizard is easy compared to this class. Iron will barb? Ice mastery Ice bolt, easy splash with fireball and then magic missile anyone who tries to run you down. There’s just so many sorcerer spells I get confused. I don’t even know where to start
>>2001721Wizard is very spammy compared to sorc, the lose case for wizard is very rarely that you have completely run out of spells as compared to sorc its that you blowed your magical load to fast so now all your spells are on cooldown with no option but to run or try melee.Generally you wanna choose your spells and merges with combos in mind like frost lightning to freeze them in place and then headshot with elemental bolt or levitate them into a lightning storm.
>>2001721stack as much will and magic damage as possible, hit em with one of the elemental bolt spells then when they get close mud shield to protect yourself and plasma blast while screaming allah ackbar in game.
>>2002028>>2002096I’ll try this stuff thanks guys. Any idea how you guys best make money? I’m trying to get the religion skin but I failed last time
>>2002150Killing bosses or PvP, also just found out antiquated coins can be sold in market so go farm those dealmaker quest
>>2002177How to best farm coins was gonna be my next question, I keep getting skeletons and I move too slow to find or to be able to hit anybody. Anytime I die all the bargains are gone too. Thanks for helping me out that’s good to know you can sell coins though
>>2002180Water map until you have 1 affinity. Then gobo cave until you hit spider mummy gulag at 18 then go back to water maphttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1aU8GHfgNWOHmoWx_iFbiyViZuWiVDdee5_a4ir7im1k/htmlviewSeems affinity just increases the pool of mobs you can spawn in as and in most cases they are worse mobs until like 42+. There are probably better ways to farm money because some days it took me a few hours just to finish the daily.
>>2002193Thanks bro. It’s annoying not being able to bargain tho I guess I’ll just feed into people fast haha
>>2002235The "meta" of bargaining is just to go wizard and blow up 10 boxes since for w/e reason they count. You can usually get it and die before anyone else. Knowing Ironmace instead of fixing this they will nerf wizard.
>>2002515Destroying boxes and then dying makes it so you can bargain? I thought you needed to be killed by a player.
>>2002531No, test it out go blow up boxes/chest until you hit 10 and you will have bargain
When both players are good, can a fighter beat a wizard
>>2002737I’ve been having trouble beating any casters on fighter. Warlocks phantoms anway and sorcerers idk. I run into wizards this least but they also rape me
>>2002737Plate prob noSlayer yes but then you lose to plate/have to run
>>2002737there is much more to the equation than that. who's geared in what? did the fighter bring MR pots? did the wizard bring prots? has the wizard just finished clearing and now need to sneak a meditate into the fight somewhere? does the fighter have sprint and adrenaline or is he running sprint and second wind? or is he a batshit shield fighter?it's a pretty even matchup imo but it quickly swings out of balance depending on stuff and things, like most everything in this game.
I'm trying to figure out how a barbarian one shot me through Arcane shield + 125 health, he had a purple double axe but still that should not be enough damage. I thought they screwed up the headshot multiplier with AS/pot shields but I went in to a lobby naked and tested the numbers vs skeleton archers and it seems to remove the 1.75x multipler back to 1x, although archer mob numbers at exactly 0 armor seem to have a 1.5 hs multiplerThere must be something weird about how all the headshot bonuses work with it.
>>2003306I really have just been losing everything and thinking about just playing barb. It seems the most simple way to win for me even tho ppl say slayer is good idk what to build and I still just die to ppl and can’t even get started
So I haven't played since before it went on steam, trying to run it now and I have rubberbanding every single time I hit something that locks me in place and so goblins are raping me please help
>>2004607The most tilting thing Is rubber banding I notice it happens a lot with spell casters and whenever I shoot a bow my arrows go through people and mobs sometimes. Crossbows and melee seem the most consistent for no rubber banding this game is fighter favored
>>2004684I mean I literally can't fight anything I kite a goblin attack him move away and it just jitters and I get slashed
>>2003306>>2004541Barbarian is the most overpowered class in the game and that's saying something. They have the most melee damage, the most hp, and built in magic resist and resist to spells that move you. Potion chugger and morale boost give absolutely RIDICULOUS healing. Club, zweihander, bardiche are all extremely good weapons. Barbarian has the best effectiveness to effort ratio, just w key and kill and win.
>>2004809Maybe in base kit, right now with gear mosquito rogue dominates. With bleed and poison a handcrossbow shot and two throwing knifes is enough to kill most people.
>>2004692https://youtu.be/Jz3wYleCc9YExample
>>2004849What server you playing on? I got this from accidentally quing in brazil the other year
>>2004891us east, tried west and it was the same
Centipede kinda sucks at finishing people off but with all the poison you can finish the 500 damage daily extremely fast.>>2004910Could be something to due with their kernal level anti cheat they added since moving to steam, a firewall may be blocking the traffic to the server as well. Although some of the pauses when you hit the gobo seemed more like a GPU/CPU related issue. The game is extremely weird with some things, like I had to update my motherboard bios awhile back because of crashing in unreal games.I would just try updating everything and see if other games kernal level anti cheats have been causing issues lately. The game is not popular enough to garner mainstream attention so these obscure issues are a pain in the ass to fix.
>>2004942no such issues in any other game, chatgpt is telling me it could be an issue with EAC mistiming with proton, but I don't see why it only occurs on melee hits and nothing else, no graphical settings change anything
Where do you find torn sails and tar on the water map. I’m also stuck on the folded cloth and pin quest which u prob need to get from that map 2
What do you do as a solo cleric cause I had some mediocre but not grey stuff and just got wrecked by a barb with all grey despite hitting him more than he hit me and having buffs on
>>2005307you have to MASSIVELY outplay him or just play barb yourself
>>2005307Cleric when divine protection and smite counters Barbarian but you lose to every range class unless you bring a dozen+ drums with you
haven't played this game for over a year, gonna come back and try it out.I want to play Druid this time.how do I learn Druid?
>>2007217the single most impactful reason for the game to have lost so many players is because people pick druid. so maybe don't do that
I just came to the game to play cleric because I've been reading the bible and Elijah is cool
>>2007217Learn panther leap/chicken jump, congrats you are now better than 90% of druids. Your only real counter is wizard, mainly because if you try to run they can blow you up to fast but you win if you get the drop on them
>>1946476buy an ad
I know this is at least worth 1 full chest but it seems like arena BIS for rogues, thinking of how to get at least two chest out of it. What was that discord streamers/rich people use?
Am I missing something? Does the quest log have any visual indication that you have the things required to complete the quest? Seems tedious to click through each of them and memorize what they need but I don't want to get rid of items that I'll need for a quest.
>>1946476so what's the deal with this game?I got an email from epic that it was being deleted from my library.the whole lawsuit thing has kept me away from this game.is it at risk of being deleted in a week? it's intriguing but it also looks extremely jank and the uncertain future has kept me away from trying it.
I try to use judgement on any enemy and it just fails consistently and I get fucked trying to stand still to use it as the wizard just spams spells at me. Sucks that cleric can literally only use smite and is not allowed to chase down anything ever.
>>2007983Yeah the quest log is lacking QoL but it used to be worse if you can imagine that. Best bet is to just dedicate some stash space to all the monster drops like gold teeth/old cloth/maggots etc as eventually youll need some for a quest.>>2008054Judgement used to be a quarter of a second shorter to cast and that nerf was enough to pretty much shelf judgements use as it only has 5m range and most players will just back up two steps to make you waste your ability since it takes so long to land. It is a bit better if you stack knowledge gear though.
>>2008051>best case scenarioThe game lasts 8 more years as the lead dev said this is a game meant to last 10 years>worst case scenariothe game dies a slow death from bleeding players due to back to back terrible decisions (nearly happened once already)
>>2008125follwow up question is there no hotkey to quick stack all the gold or just everything in the inventory into the stash? When I played before loot worth this much gold was not EVERY extract but now im just stuck mashing clicking after every match and it's even worse having to consolidate into baggies.
Why no squire to riches solo? It would just be dominated by specific classes I guess?
>>2007724https://discord.gg/7TGJuKVqGu
>>2007724>>2008389wait I can sell items to piggies in this game?
>playing in greys>walk to door>rogue opens it>judgement him as he stands still and looks at me>he back up>chug protection>he just turns and kills me with the dagger before the chug animation finishes>he had better gearSee I don't get the point of these kind of games because if I just brought all blues I still would have been beaten by his purples. What's the point of pvp like this?
i swing at a rogue and my weapon phases through them
>>2008641you didn't die because of gear, you died because you locked yourself into an animation in range of an opponent. if his gear was shit he would have killed you in another hit or two anyway.
>>2008887my ability did a sliver of his health, there is absolutely nothing I could do with more kiting and hitting with a mace which would be impossible vs a rogue anyway, he could literally just face tank me with a dagger no matter what because of gear
>>2008919then play one or two pve games and build a full kit
>>2008924no interest in trios, and I have enough to get a kit, but I'll still just get outclassed by someone with even better gear or better class
>>2008641stat checking can be fun. it's a reward for your effort (typically money, not effort) put into the game. if people wanted a pure competitive environment they'd play an esport, like CS or DOTA.
is the vamp skill any good for barb? seems pretty dogshit.
>>2008930I mean I feel like this game has a really engaging combat system for both melee and spells but every aspect of it is just who has better gear
lost my first full blue cleric kit to a barb with a gray club and blue armor while im buffed
>>2008951think of it more like, good gear unlocks the full potential of the character/build.I could ramble on about my days in Diablo 2, but long story short, the good pvp builds optimized around specific breakpoints and were much more expensive than the kind of gear required to just beat the story or farm the pve. if somebody tried to bring a pve character into a pvp game they would lose 99/100 times.here's a video highlighting the absurdity of melee duels in d2.https://youtu.be/m6bTWmoZkhQ
>>2008996and I forgot to emphasize my point.>>2008951you're just a new player. you don't install an esport and expect to be at the top ranks. so put in the work, like they have, to have a coherent competitive build.
>>2009009Sure, but if I want to develop skill, I have to be able to actually fight and not just melt, so I need to buy gear, which I then will lose to the players with more experience. Grinding for temporary chances at practice is just gay and retarded.
>finally beat a faggot rogue>by the time I'm halfway done dealing with all the npcs they stuck me with someone else just comes and kills methis is pure tedium, what a shitty game
>>2009154Real
why are you all incapable of finding a friend to play with
>>2009167maybe that doesn't sound fun to me and I enjoy playing games alone
>>2009170you don't want to put in the time to get skilled, you don't want to put in the time to get gear, you don't want to find people to play with, you don't want to do anything. you just want to go into the game and automatically win
>>2009188I want to go into a game and have the variable that decides outcomes be skill and maybe a little luck. Basically I want squires to riches but solo.
I love spawning into every mob in every room agroed such that I don't have any time to open any doors to get anywhere or have a breath and then 5 minutes of kiting later a rogue just appears and corners me against 3 skeletons and a wolf really well designed game
>>2009167because not all of us have a discord full of NEET groomee's to play vidya with. games that don't appeal to the solo player will never succeed. the whole reason wow took off instead of eq is because you could solo level.
watching streamers play this is just totally boring cause they all just have infinite sets of god equipment
is there any difference in playing on steam vs. their blacksmith launcher?
im just not playing again until rogue is removed fuck this game
is it true that I can just run around as druid and make huge cash on the new map without even having to fight anything?
I redeemed a legendary status for this game when epic was giving it out for free, but I've never downloaded the epic launcher or launched the game. it's asking me to link it with some code. can I get the code without downloading epic's launcher? or can I not even redeem the legendary status pack because I never launched it before it was removed?
>>2009473I had to install the game again to migrate from iron mace's to steam, you'll probably have to do the same.
>>2009354Steam updates are faster and is generally just more reliable>>2007983You can open quest log in a match with L>>2008389Thanks>>2009428Yes, some one managed to get the 100k religion skin just selling shit while farming the water map in a few days, harder to do now because you have Faustian sharks in the water you have no chance in killing.
>>2008951>feel like this game has a really engaging combat system
>>2009473ok I installed it on epic to grab the code, linked it on blacksmith, now it's telling me that I should be on steam?
>>2009513dont link it to blacksmith install it on steam and enter the code there FUCKhEAD
>>2009539fuck how am I supposed to know that they have 2 dead platforms?I already submitted the code, but I didn't accept the blacksmith lock.
>>2008951I agree. I hope somebody copies the combat system and creates an engaging PVE game around it. Every other melee game feels like dog after DaD but dodging geared tryhards that are just much faster, have ridiculously more eHP and damage gets old quick. To give a random example, Eve Online has similar full loot hardcore PvP vibe with options to be ridiculously overgeared but it gives much better tools to identify and evade hopeless fights. Perhaps DaD might work if it was open world. There's just some critical ingredient missing for the game to work.>>2009026+1
>>2009305My favourite tactic is to aggro absolutely everything and try to lead my army into some unsuspecting player.
>>2009513well, steam asks you for a code from blacksmith, not epic.blacksmith asks you for a code from epic.steam is also looking for blacksmith accounts created before june 2024.I tried opening epic again but it prompted me with the "select blacksmith" screen, same as the one in post I'm quoting, so I can't generate another code to see if it would accept it on steam.and somebody is using my name so I can't even name my account properly.
>>2009167Had I friends I wouldn't be playing video games.
ok, did my first run, it looks like all the merchants pay the same for armor, and the collector is the only person who wants stuff like the unequipable jewelry and skulls?
why does everyone team up on me when there is more than one person every single time
>>2009629What class are you playing
>>2009629Everyone teams and usually they do it in a retarded way.>Playing normals as ranger, geared out rogue double jumping around at 110% ms>We three random squire kits start fighting him, he fucks up and got hit by the barb a few times>moment he is out of range fighter kills the barb then sprints and kills me>Rogue finishes the fighter off>His entire kit was BIS epicsIts every time in gobo caves, there is one retard who instead of teaming for the possible free kit apes out on a guy next to him.
>>2009630cleric
>>2008951This is why I like wiz, its a glass canon but if you build true damage in every slot you can run the memeiest shit and get away with it. Who needs health and MS when you can kill people before they touch you? If you die who cares your kit was only worth 1-2k. My advice is go straight to HR, it's easier than normals right now. People see my Micky sorcerer apprentice outfit and still run despite it being hot garbage.Funny enough in the webm someone told me the bard was near, jokes on them if I see dead mobs I assume rogues anyway.
>>2009661When you pulled up your inventory and I saw all blue outfit I lost my shit laughing LOL
I think you just can't play solo cleric, I wish they would not balance entirely off of trios and at least just change spells/perks in solo.
>>2009671You can but its retarded, bring a dozen+ legendary drums for mosquito rogues/other kiting classes. Don't even bother with spells you need divine protection and smite.
>>2009563idea: 10.99 goblin skin pack every time you faustian bargain into a goblin it is a female goblin and your taunt is blowing a kiss
>>2008928>no interest in triosthen keep crying, solo-nigger, it's a team based game. Go play squire to riches with randoms and get some fucking experience
>>2009739or ill just not and you can enjoy your game for another year before it goes offline lol
Zap remains broken. Spellcasters rule the dungeons. Dogshit game, bring back playtest 2.
>>2010387Wizard is notoriously underpowered.Playtests sucked anyway.
>>2008951One of the few times that they decided to revert a update the players hated was a patch that normalized static attribute bonuses that gear gave so you only had random rolls on gear to differentiate pieces of the same gear. And a majority of the playerbase claimed that even opening chests was useless because gear was 'useless' pretending that in the games entire existence that random rolls werent what made 99% of fear BiS. So its a sad truth that the majority of the playerbase enjoys statcheck simulator rather than player skill and another that SDF thinks a player in all greys going into matches with a all purples fully gemmed player is also somehow ok.And im confident these choices are made because of rmt paypiggies.
>>2010538I think I was actually playing a bit before and during that time, had to stop because my pc was fucking up, but that was super fun. Around when warlock was new I think. I could run in in any class into goblin caves and try to find out good perks and skills and enjoy fights with people even if they were still stacked against me. There was still getting run down by full kitted fighters but if I got frustrated enough I could go in full grays and spawn rush and at least use up some of those faggots' resources.
>>2010393Problem is wizard is powerful in arena, mainly due to map design and full spells every round. Also SDF hates wizard so I don't see them buffing or giving wizard any thing new for awhile.
>you are playing cleric>barbarian rushes at youwhat do you do
>>2010607https://streamable.com/n3nqd3
>>2010633k now what if they land their attacks or just kite until your abilities are off cooldown
>>2010667>What if the barbarian has over 60 IQNot gonna happen
i really wish dark and darker were fun
>>2010686FPS game cannot be fun.
are shields cope for new players? am I going to establish bad habits?
>>2011023seems like anything but rogue is cope
>>2011023Unless you're spending 90% of every fight holding it up, you're establishing good habits. Shield lets you sit in someone's face and still not get hit.
>>2011095I'm still PvE mode on the first map trying to learn how to play the game. I'm level 20.
>>2011113Skip to pvp so you can find out how dogshit this game is instead of wasting your time.
>>2011113Run around goblin cave in squire gear, its the pvp haven right now. If someone doesn't have a cape they like are in squire there to pvp or faustian bargain. Keep in mind most of these people have been playing since play test so be prepared to die a lot.
>>2011133that's why I'm just running around pve learning mechanics and questing.
How the fuck do I play this game? Playing a fighter with longsword. Every single person I run into on solo is a rogue and they usually just kite me to death or stab me to death and I can't parry it.
Ranger ratting has been fun
>>2011344The kiting fuckers want you to chase them, so you have to try and get them into disadvantageous situations and corner them. Getting mobs to aggro on them, chasing them into cramped rooms where they don't have as much space to utilize their mobility, try to play corners/doors, fake running away then immediately turn around to try and get a hit in. It's pretty difficult to fight when you have no ranged options, but not always impossible
>Sorc goes into ice block when I am about to kill him>Literally as it's about to end my screen freezes for a second, when done freezing he and his iceblock are just goneIs this niggerlicious shit intended? Is he cheating? sdfnigger why
>>2011462Its a server/engine issue that happens to everyone, IM is ignoring it like its gonna go away and its been happening ever since they swapped server hosts. And It seems to have just gotten worse since they let players choose a region again so gold farmer xaopingping can come to the NA servers to cheat, assumingly because the server ia struggling to sync clients.
>>2011481This game just keeps getting more and more ass.He came back with his trio and gangraped me too.
I want to play a new class coming back to the game.problem is I only ever played wizard blowing shit up... I'm trying a melee class and am fucking dogshit at melee combat, even vs mobs.
Has there been any news on the on hit stutter? >>2004849I've seen multiple people in discord and on steam saying they have the issue. How long does it usually take to fix bugs like that?
Midnight walkers demo is up, its a game i guess But also I want the 100,000 gold mage skin, big fan of default skins, tho id still go for it if it was elite or nightmare
>>2012190Religion has to be the worst feature they spent development time making. Its only use is as a gold sink because they couldn't come up with another way to make it engaging. The skins and gold storage items are not worth it
>finally win a pvp encounter>footsteps>shick shick shick>deadThis is why nobody plays this shit and this general is dead
I just killed two people and extracted B)
>>2012267Getting 3rd partied is pretty frustrating. That and the rubber banding and desync. I’m just so addicted and can’t quit playing though
>>2012267>Do HR ruins on wiz>Clear out module, decide to extract instead of go down because I was looking for Ice caves>See three rogues camping different doors to the module I was in>One was in a room full of mobs that he some how avoided aggro, probably double jumping on wallsI hate the random HR, ruins is such a pain in the ass on solo wiz.
This game would be so much better if it was a proper open world MMO instead of this dumb arena faggotry.
>>2012364They can't even optimize it for dungeons if it was open world it wouldn't even run
>>2012363Everything is pain in the ass solo wizzing nigga
Why would I sell 99% of loot to anything but the merchants? You get like max sub-100 more gold for things like a blue helmet with meh random stats and you're gearing up your opponents.
>>2012469Trade is a relic of a bygone era where gold was actually difficult to get at all, and traders didn't buy things for more than pennies.
>>2012420Ice caves is actually great for wiz, bright maps with lots of mobs. Landmines hate it because if they aggro one kobold they aggro several others.>>2012469Blues and even greens were more valuable on the trade when gearscore was a thing, copper gear was worth 1000's if it had decent rolls. I do think they will bring back GS lobbies, probably like instead of epic only items it will be 225 again.
Just lost my full fucking kit in ice caves because all of the stairs just had an invisible wall i couldn't leave and the elevator level was broken. I just want to do the leathersmith quest ffs and I just lost everything for nothing.
what map should we make next?
>>2012809They need to focus on classes, I know monk is next but I want palladin and necromancer!
I keep losing to players in this game. I hate seeing players then I get hit by a mob or I’m busy fighting a mob and a player shows up. I hate having to run away and then I end up pulling mobs. I hate shooting arrows and having them phase through players bodies. I hate shooting magic missiles and having my hand bounce off of players bodies canceling the cast. I hate having my spell cast be canceled because there is a wall behind me. I hate Desync. I hate rubber banding. I die 80% of the time I fight people how the fuck do you actually win in this game this game is fucking aids I just want to cool religion skin and to win more fights. But my builds are either so shit or I’m just shit. Should I just farm more gear and then it doesn’t even matter?
>>2013173Buy a blue set. Clear out the room you spawn in of mobs and move to the next rather than only clearing a path from door to door. There is no situation in pvp where it will be nice for you to have mobs around. Learn when to not take a fight and fall back into the areas you've cleared.
>>2013173Sounds like you're shit.When you self cast spells look down or up depending on your environment.Don't cast magic missile point blank like a fucking retard.I agree this game is ass.
>>2013497Alright word I will. Thanks.>>2013540Mainly I’m just ass blasted about my hand bouncing off of panther. I have no recourse. Wizard counters Druid btw haha
>>2013173If you try to pvp on wiz as a new player you will have a bad time. Even spell book will bonk off shit behind you and if you miss one cast when some one is running at you you're probably dead.Just do ranger with backstep/shotgun, lets you learn/cheese pve and you have an oh shit button for if someone does get in your face.
>>2012809I'd rather they finally make an in game community hub where you can peacefully interact with other players, spar, initiate trades, party up, etc. Barring that though, idk a second level to the Goblin Caves?
>>2013805It’s not just on wiz I get shit on most classes I play
>>2013848
>>2013805Not true at all. Wizard is the one class where you don't even need to learn the game. Just cast spells and if you somehow are so retarded that they don't die, just run away using haste/invis.
How do I deal with a dagger warlock as cleric when I can't hit them and they can dot me? I dealt with one because I guess he couldn't chase me down or was scared to and I healed myself till he fell back and I left through a portal, but he was full health when I spectated him, it's like I'm no threat at all.
can't even practice troll because it's mindless people shift w'ing at you if you are ever seen and the random layout of caves now is shit out of my ass
>>2014092if you run anything apart from no spell smite/judgement cleric you may as well not run cleric at all. Druid is the better healer if you want to be a healer/hybrid. Cleric shines with pure phys/true/pdr/mdr/action speed no spell. If the lock has anti-magic you literally cave them.
>>2010607no spell cleric fucking pulverizes barbarians just get better and stack action speed. If you play spell/hybrid cleric just play another class.
it feels so fucking good to fucking third party fuck it also feels so cunting sweet for a mob to corner a retard that was trying to chase you down FUUCK
>>2014285>>2014290I don't get why they wouldn't make a caster cleric viable solo. Why can't they just give a couple of spells that only affect you but are a bit stronger?
>>2014460When the game was originally being developed the intent was for the classes to compliment eachother, and for solo play to not really be viable, so the cleric would buff a party, not themselves. Fights were a lot longer because ttk was generally a lot higher.Then retarded niggers came along and demanded a solo mode, demanded easier pve, demanded for all the classes be balanced and it not have class rps.That's why cleric spells have low solo viability.
>>2014588Okay solo has been in the game for 2 years at least and a mode that a large portion of the playerbase prefers
https://www.darkanddarker.com/news/148PATCH NOOOOOTTTEEEESSSSSSSS
>>2015234Good patch Druid is scary tho
This game is dead, but the fact they've never addressed people cheesing reds is still funny. Why would you ever play fair when you rush a red the moment you feel you're at a disadvantage?It just so happens to benefit the mobility classes too... Good job catching a druid. Or a Rogue.
Did they fix slow as fuck animations yet?And no I don't mean "hurr I want to spam left click 5 times a second" I mean the animation looking like a grandpa struggling to swing a sword.
>>2015294Adderall baby
>>2015294Its been like 9+ months and they still haven't released... or even teased monk yet. And you think they would do something like that, which requires effort?You innocent fool
>>2015297I'll take that as a no. I guess game is in maintenance mode and any graphical updates (that they wanted to do) will never happen.
sigh this game is so unplayable because they don't ever implement my dogshit retarded ideas sigh
>>2015304You can increase the animation speed so it feels like it has at least some weight to it, while still keeping time between attacks the same, y'know.
>he thinks he's getting called out when in reality i posted in the wrong thread
>>2015316I accept your concession. :^)
How can I become carried by longsword and parry? What stats should I go for, what skills and perks should I use? Who should I watch to learn from?
>>2015340Parry is a meme, especially since the servers are so garbage nowadays. You can have superhuman reflexes and still fuck up simply because some gook thought it was a good idea to put 20+ people in a server that can't handle it.
>>2015344So I've heard. I'm still happy to try and also just swing as well. Mostly just struggling to work out how to prioritize stats and such.
>>2015353Fair enough then. You can try going PDR longsword, and that will be effective against people who melee... but a good half the classes are magical or can kite you to oblivion. I don't understand why these devs love the idea of every fight being some gay movement speed check, can't catch up? well the sorc, wizard or rogue is gonna poke you to death. Good luck!
>>2015357That's my biggest problem. How am I supposed to deal with that as a longsword fighter, outside of getting lucky/godlike shots with my crossbow while avoiding all that shit miraculously?
>>2015234>The Panther's health penalty has been removed.lol the fuck? The only reason you didn't see many druids is they had a hard time attacking double jumping rogues. This just makes them roll over the other classes, especially casters.
>>2015385Your only real solution is to camp corridors, doors and hallways so you can't be poked without a chance for counterattack. so basically nothing if you want to be on the offensive.>>2015388I don't get it either since Druid is already stronger now that the market is open. You just have to come to terms with the fact that Druid will never be balanced and is the love-child of the main dev. Woops, is that a druid chicken jumping through a entire module? Well you're not catching him and he gets a free reset. What a balanced class!
Anyone else feel like their framerate is randomly capped below what they set now? It feels like im locked to 60Also why can sorcerers just spam a spell that locks you in place
>>2015438Just checked and my fps won't go above 55 despite it easily hitting 144 cap before. On hit stutter/rubberband is gone but now fps is dogshit and won't go higher even setting resolution to 50%.
>>2015452both framerates set to max in settings
>>2015502Are you on blacksmith or Steam? Also check to make sure lobby fps is not capped
>>2015811steam>both framerates set to max in settingsI think it's a proton issue
>>2015344Reddit fags constantly whining about parry being OP because they can't comprehend aiming anywhere but directly at longsword says otherwise.
>>1946476as a f2p player, where do i go with my epics now? all maps are capped at rare.
>mika vista a rogue>they just run out of range from right in front of me before it's over>smite>they just run out of range of every possible attackwhy do retards say cleric is a rogue counter?
how tf do you solo a warlock? he just dots you from a mile away and you cant do shit about it. at least the rangers need to lead their shot, insta-travel spell that heals them and kills you is retarded.
>>1946476Cuck and Cucked
I hate the "level" system of having to go deeper. It just makes it so there's less and less players and you're just forced to play the horrendous PvE. For example the crypts are fucking dead now. They should initiate matchmaking at least and have you wait a few minutes longer for the other players of another game to make it down
will affinity and quests get reset on wipes?
>get a full blue build going>rogue just sicks mobs on me and then kills me in three hitswhy would I ever bring gear? like the devs lower the rarity for normals to get people to play high roller but why would I EVER play high roller when it's just pure faggotry you can't control what you win or lose to.
>>2016494Hitscan still has to lead shots because of the horrific desync though
Holy dead. What went so wrong?
>>2017569literal shit gameplay that brainless niggers overhyped because they watch streamers or whatever
>>2017599I mean the core gameplay is the only GOOD thing about this game. Melee, ranged, dodging, all is pretty fun. But the game is held back by:>balance>netcode>optimization>choosing to focus on the least popular gamemodes>paying attention pretty much exclusively to streamers and ignoring the rest of the communityI swear the devs are just chasing the high of that five minutes of fame they got when Jerma played it but have done nothing but regress the quality of the game since.
>>2017630The game was better before streamers found it.
>>2017630If they appealed to streamers it would actually help the game, half of them mained fighter and it used to be considered the OP class. I actually miss early on when like half the population was fighters because they countered everything except wizard, way better than the druid/rogue meta.
Ranger in solos is hard pls help me niggers I feel useless
>>2016726I just hate ruins with a passion, it was shit in the playtest and its still shit now
how do you combat range guys as a melee guy? just accept youre fate? hard to push when they can shoot and then run away way faster than you can.
>>2018247Shield blocks both projectiles and spells. You can also strafe Dodge.
>>2016214Epics are now unironically less valuable than rares. I personally think this is fine. Epic is the weird spot in the balance anyway. Anyone can buy and farm a full rare set no issue. Epics are the gap tho, timmies can't afford to run a full set of epic. Legendaries are for the no-lifers so they feel like they're special. But epics are just stupid. Honestly they need a gear rebalance anyway: Delete squire and epic. Make common the default. Keep uncommon, rare and legendaryHR and Arena are the only place for legendary.
>>2018003spear + survival bow gl nigga
>>2018330I really liked the loot state before highroller got originally added.You could find everything but uniques literally anywhere, and if you wanted uniques you went and killed a boss. Legendaries you had to get kinda lucky for but just random casuals could sometimes find them and feel set for the rest of the playtest, and purples were that middle ground where if you looted well you could reliably find them and make a set, but it wasn't so common that just anyone could get that full set. (This was obviously before marketplace so you couldn't just buy them).I agree that now it feels like epic is kind of antiquated. I actually feel like uncommon is antiquated at this point, I think uncommon should be removed from the game because rares are found so frequently there is no point where you ever want uncommons.
What's the best way to practice PvP? I wish there was some kind of death match mode just for practice.
>>2018448No clue if you're trolling but go to arena, it's a deathmatch mode just for practice.
>>2018523Arena has 1v1? I'm free to play currently.
>>1991477>>1991492>>1991512>>1991814Holy cringe. Is half the posts itt just IM damage control?
What's the easiest fighter build to just win with. I don't want to have skill, I don't want to put in effort. Just turn my brain off and win.
>>2019607Maybe fighter isn't for you then
>>2019671Longsword has major desync issues. Slayer fighter dies in two hits. I don't know how to play the class otherwise.
>>2019674Falchion and shield, dual wield with falchion/daggerBoth with just a shit ton of armor obviously.That's all I can think of for wanting to go retard barb mode on fighter, but again, if you want to turn your brain off every other class is better.
Are /we/ playing Midnight Walkers?
>>2019607the entire schtick of fighter is carefully outskilling the opponent. if you want to turn your brain off and win melee you need to play barbarianiron will makes you immune to knockback spells crush lets you just chop through doorsmorale boost and potion chugger keep you full hp constantly all you do is w key and win
>>2018405Skills? You go knock back right? Let me know if kitted or not cause no matter if I build anything or not I just seem to lose playing ranger the most solos duos or trios. Squire or not lol just wanna win games with this class but everyone catches up to me even if I build ms and agility sprinting fighters with sprint panthers rogues raging barbs slowing me with savage roar…. Wizard is so much easier than this class
This game seems to be a massive joke that got caught stealing
>>2020275It’s pretty fun killing people and killing bosses at least for now
>>2019897>>2019715In which case. Who should I watch to learn how to play well? I really struggle to learn how to play the class or find any resources for it.
Ryan6days WiP game the underkeep may be a direct ripoff of dark and darker but its already has a more coherent and clear idea of what it should be compared to SDF's schizophrenic "vision" which turned a dungeon crawler rpg into a rock-paper-scissors battle royale that couldnt balance a coin on its face. Dark and darker only has seniority on the golden goose of a DnD extraction looter but as soon as one of these copycats that arent clearly cashgrabs get a little polished ironmace is done unless they really stop shitting the bed.
>>2020474So bad so strange used to upload tutorials for fighter idk if he does anymore but I still use some of the info for building fighter like plate chest gloves and helm only cloth rest so ur not slowed down a lot. Tho slayer is most meta rn
>>2020474No clue don't watch youtubers. There's that crab guy from years ago people talked about that does longsword stuff and he's apparently pretty good, so you could check that guy out.Otherwise all I can give is my advice for getting better which is mainly just "Have francisca" "Position good" "Don't job"Fighter is really slow so 90% of what you need to learn is position good
>>1980948yes the grind is still god fucking awful, quests are nightmare fuel
>>2020686How do I learn good positioning? Every fight I get into always turns into a mash left-click fest at point blank until one of us dies (usually me). I feel like if I try to position in those situations I can't get them off me and I just end up being the one who always gets mashed out.
>>1980948>but actually getting ahead was fucking stupidly slow no matter what you didas a new player, how is it awful? you can free kit into a dungeon, and sometimes even the room you spawn in has all that you want and then you can easily escape.
>>1980948Some quests are still pretty rape but I think that it’s a lot better than it once was. You mostly just have a lot more quests opportunities now which I like. Some are pretty tedious like having to kill a bunch of mini bosses in one session I hate that one
>>2020707A lot of it is subtle stuff imo. If you hear them drinking a pot they can’t attack you and are slowed could be a good time to poke. If they are casting something they are also slowed down, another good time to maybe poke. Micro advantages. Getting buffed by shrines, protection potting before all in(you don’t want to protection pot if just poking because the bubble makes it more obvious and fatter and gives you away more easily when peeking a corner.) high ground for easier headshots while they hit your legs for reduced damage. Harassing someone while they are fighting a mob or used cooldowns already. Opening a door and then backing up to try to bait rogue stealth, or seeing opened chests and dead mobs so being paranoid of rogues or other players. Sometimes though people just have better stats than you though or catch you at a bad time and there’s nothing you can do.
>>2020707Part of it is movement. Like don't walk backwards from people, walk sideways it gives you full movespeed like you're walking forward, this is the best way to try and keep distance. Positioning is more than just that though. Position yourself at a distance so if a barb yells you can kite him until his buff is gone, if a rogue runs at you with dagger use franciscas and between throws run sideways, franciscas will slow them down, and you'll be softening them up for when they get close. Rogues want to face hug you and are faster, so it can be good to have a sword and shield specifically for rogues. This is where the shortcoming of fighter truly comes in, you can't have a tool for everything at low gear but you're a class that is meant to be a bag of tools. At high gear if you're just trying to pvp you could totally keep a sword and shield in your inventory as backup for your main weapon and still have a crossbow, but at squire gear you can only choose 2 of the 3 tools of long weapon, s&s, and ranged weapon.Find little ways to keep yourself in your weapon's sweet spot (The area where your weapon does 100% damage) and them out of theirs.Try to always have an exit for when things are not going well. As the guy above me said, use high ground.Other than stuff like this it's just stuff you have to gain experience with, I can't tell you how to beat warlocks and wizard other than "Have franciscas and don't miss" "Use sprint good"
>>2021338All this is pointless because the opponent will just be 30% faster than you and have 50% more HP and damage than you.
>>2021352You're just dogshit at the game sorry dude go back to pve.
Is there any possible build with barb without having the rage skill? 17% speed boost seems too vital.
>>2021785For solo A club/axe with lantern and full agility gear.In comps find a wiz to haste/invis you instead, probably a bard too.
It may not look like it, but this is peak performance
>>2021785Rage is hard to give up, but Barb has such good base stats that are easy to build on with gear that you can definitely win without it. For a long time i was running Savage Roar and Achilles Heel because I got tired of being kited by rogues and warlocks so much. The damage from Achilles Heel counts when Blood Exchange is activated too
>>1946476I'm late and somewhat stupid. What is this game and how do yoy access it? Is it fun?
>>2021360Yes but there's no point trying to get better because the endgame is just outgearing your opponents.
>>2022255Steam
It's always nice running into somebody on your friends list while playing randoms : ) Solo players will never know the joys of jolly cooperation
>>2022243>For a long time i was running Savage Roar and Achilles Heel because I got tired of being kited by rogues and warlocks so much.How did you manage to work that out? Don't those guys run somewhere above 310 movement speed? With the free kit no shirt and every item except for gloves giving agi, im still only able to have my barb run at 306 no weapon equipped. So you would achilles heel them with the throwing axe? But isnt the duration, 3 seconds, way too short to catch up to them? Genuinely curious howd you made that work. Because with Rage, your own guy with agi free gear can move at 326 no weapon equipped for 6 seconds which I would think is way faster than a possible -2.5% debuff for six and a possible achilles heel for 3.
>install new proton version>boot up dark and darker with it to see if it fixed the low fps issue>forget to take off the gear so now I have to play out a match at 50 fps>rogue comes up and walks in circles around me holding m1 and literally just disappearing off my screen from the framerate >lose kitI think it's an issue with their kernel anti-cheat, and they just don't give a shit about linux. Shame cause I was looking forward to getting back into it before the hotfix fucked everything.
>>2022670>50 fpsNot a very adaptable nigger are you
>>2022757do you think you can pvp in this game at 50 fps
>>2022670Meh the only good thing about the game is the PvE. Unironically. The game is terrible with desyncs so pvp is never skill anyway and the gear gaps make it worse.
>>2022946>The only good thing about the game is the pveBosses* The bosses are good, pve is ass.
So when is an actual good studio going to step up and give the genre the respect it deserves?It's been well over a year and IM has done absolutely nothing other than release slop, unfinish projects, asset flips, and placating filler.
>>2022666Savage Roar slows too, and the Berserker perk gives you a little move speed boost when you're damaged. You need to bring in a fuck ton of axes too. Solo Barbarian has to fight smarter and try to use the terrain to his advantage when against one of the faster classes. There's nothing worse than trying to catch a kiting Warlock in a wide open room. And there's no shame in retreating from a fight if you think you can't win
>>2023143>Savage Roar slows too,Yeah which is why I'm trying to ask howd you make it work with savage and heel as your skills. Since, Rage gives like 20+ movespeed to your own guy but Roar takes away like 10 movespeed of theirs?
>>2023158Don't miss with your Achilles and use a one handed weapon to minimize swing slow. Really can't stress enough how cornering them is important here. Rage is really good, but don't be afraid to try out the other abilities too. Blood Exchange and Achilles pair pretty well since the damage dealt from Achilles counts towards the healing on BE. The only skill that still kinda sucks is War Sacrifice
>>2023046Thing is there are things I like about this game better than the "genre" itself. I think the extraction looting aspect is actually a part that most people playing DISLIKE as we can tell by how few people play high roller and how much people complain about getting gear diffed. I like the combat, the setting, and despite it being a lot of free assets they made a nice style. Using spells and the weapons and ducking and dodging feels fun except for the fact that you have a good chance to just have a matchup you can't deal with and lose all your stuff. I would much rather it be a kind of mount & blade battle royale where you use what you find in smaller dungeons littered around a big open map.
Carry me in high roller maybe...
>host a tournament >$6k prize >only let "top players" (read: streamers) enterMan, it would be cool if these "community events" ever actually included the community and not only their streamer butt-boys. Nope, we just get to buy $10 fart emotes
Linux performance is now even worse with hotfix 98. 50fps before is now ~30. I don't know what they could be doing with their anticheat to be causing this continuous degradation.
>>2025013Anything but fix the game
remove hitscan spells, make every spell a projectile
>>2026104I'd be for this if it meant zap would actually go through small gaps like arrows, webm semi related since the zap wiffed.I thought Ken Kenobis wiz build was a meme but running it has given me some surprisingly good results.
>spectated a fighter and saw his gear had all of his stats over 20 with 25+ agi and 40 strwtf, i get gear making you more powerful but this just seems ridiculous, and this was all blue gear too. cant imagine the insanity on higher gear.
>>2026486I don't care to much about those players, I just hate when fighting one another squire kit third parties you then dies to the obviously geared player with a cape after. Like fuck even when I Bargain I go for the kitted player first but half the time the squire guy comes at me anyway.
>Die to spectral knight because I'm learning him>Queue up again, run right to boss>My body is in the middle of the arenaThis game is fucking ass. Why can I spawn into a match where the boss in that time could have been killed?
>>2026587Also I would have clipped it but nvidia capture doesn't work with this fucking game half the time so instead I clipped 11 seconds of me trying to fix nvidia capture in my files
>>2026429anon had the shakes...
Why'd he do that?
>>2027446is quarterstaff barb legit? armor pierce, according to wiki every part of weapon hitbox is 100% damage. -30 speed, so fastest 2h equal to axe.
>>1984673what is this, did they finally implement being able to do this or is it a class skill
>>1984673how do I become a mob? I haven't played in months, do I just die and get to do it?
>>2027860Die while PvP is enabled, the more you accomplished in that map the higher chance of rolling a good mob is. You'll notice it goes from 0 to 3.
Teach me how to Rogue...
>>2027867alright, that was fun for like 30 seconds.
>>2027874dex and poison
>>2027880what about str...
>>2027882honestly go watch Vincennnt on twitch - guy was so good on leaderboards he held number 1 spot as ranger... and second place as rogue.
>>2027883I want to learn how to solo ranger but this is the hardest class wtf impossible to kill fighters and barbs especially with nothing bro
>>2027901If you don't utilize handbow or throw knives and have a high map knowledge (ledges and where to run to jump a gap or something) its basically a damage check. You need to deal damage before they're within swinging range.
>>2027904It’s pretty confusing to me. Longbow seems the best but fighters and barbs just catch up to me by sprinting and raging even when I’m trying to build move speed plus they’re so fucking tanky. Plus I feel like I do little damage with spear. I’ve been mostly building ms to try to run but at this point I might just stack str and shotgun longbow rage queue or go with spear. Just experimenting but the extra action speed with the longbow really seem to be the only way the class feels viable as far as solos are concerned for me but I’m still dying a fuck lot and people don’t respect me at all and just w+m1 especially with a shield it’s so gay any class is easier than this but I wanna get good I know it just has to be my fault and ranger is playable right
>>2027844>>2027860Its the Faustian Bargain option, you have to die and you get charges based on your activity. It boils down to killing about 10 mobs or blowing up 10 boxes/pots and then running naked in to mobs in order to die faster to use it.They recently nerffed it but gobo archer/sword are still good at racking up damage for the quest. The antiquated coins from dealmaker are good profit for selling on market if you can do it decently fast enough, it helped me pay for my Religion skin this season.
>>2027916really? ive seen rangers put two shots in me and im already at half health and obviously trying to close the gap is suicide.
>>2027964I must be building wrong then I usually just play normals but run blues sometimes longbow and true dmg if I can
>>2027916>Longbow for soloYou go recurve or ideally survival bow if you have the true damage to support it with the knockback ability. If you hear a barb at any point you place a trap down and bunny hop around it if they chase you.
I'm a spicy wittle dwuid
>>2027975They just jump over the trap and catch up to me these niggers are so fast
>>2027587It's not bad against classes that out dps the barb since it's one of the fastest swinging two handers (like to use the felling axe too even though the penalty for missing is huge), but it's range is pretty short and definitely the weakest of the two handed options. Most people use the club+shield instead since the swing pattern is simple, swings a little faster than the qstaff, and the move speed penalty is about the same with the added benefit of having a shield
watching the tourney and it seems i am correct that ranged classes are ten times better than melee classes
>>2029519There is a reason people have said "Melee is dead" since a little after the game came out. The only time this wasn't true was the playtests and pdr fighter on release.
>>2029519Melee classes with range seem to dominate, everytime repoze was on screen he was a nightmare especially for the caster classes despite summit being dead weight most of the time.
>>2029830repoze was playing a ranged class
>>2030375>>2029830repoze was rouge for like every match save for one, no? also summit didnt play so bad for being the streamer guy. i remember him pulling aggro from greek barb and juking the shit out of the enemy team buying time for repoze and the other guy to piece them up.
>>2030444Summit used to be a cs pro
>>2029519It's not hard to predict this. Every game with both melee and ranged (or similar) is dominated by ranged DPS unless it is artificially nerfed into several orders of less power.
>>2030602Well it doesn't help that they artificially nerfed the anti-range class at launch.There's a reason slayer fighter has been meta for so long, pdr got raped.
>>2030602I just think to make it balanced, make Ranged classes slower and no stun locking or push back ranged attacks. So can still deal damage at range but you cant freely run away. Still need to stand and fight eventually and youd better put in the damage at range to have equalized the fight in melee.
>>2030976Ranger alone is preventing multiple comp types, buff ball isn't a thing anymore since they got purge shot and I don't think its a coincidence those comps died out after. It also makes healer druid completely useless since their spells are heal over time.
It’s ok guys cause ranger sucks in solos I know this because I tried to play it and keep losing and since nobody will teach me it’s bad, ranger is bad!
>telling the random other faustian guy where a team is at>he turns off his voipWhat a cunt!
I just did my first couple runs with starter gear. I love the atmosphere and gameplay so far.I am always a Mage/Caster in online games, but I chose Fighter because it seemed simple. Are there any standout classes that I should try to use? Is Fighter gud?
so why is summit trying to play like a ranger as a fighter? is this some hidden tech or is he just a retard waiting to get filtered like every other game he tries?and he's so scared to step out of squire to riches.
>>2032523>solo queue into normal trios as wizard to get easy Faustian points>accidentally 1v3 a team before dyingHeh ggez
>Tourney winner is Promoz, Repoz and Summit>ranger, rogue and fighterSounds like a good time to nerf wizard
>>2032523because you can't have two rangers on your team in the tournament so playing fighter like one is the closest to having two rangers
>>2032523>gets shit on in dark and darker>doesn't make an effort to learn how to play the game>cries>gets shit on in new world>doesn't make an effort to learn how to play the game>cries>gets shit on in arc raiders>doesn't make an effort to learn how to play the game>crieswhat is wrong with him?
>>2032704Streamers are notoriously retarded and shouldn't be paid any attention
>>2032449I'd say if you like the cast class fantasy to get in that system now since this is like the only game to fulfill it decently in first person. The learning curve is steep but I can't go back to melee classes after playing so much wizard.
>>2032757No, you can't go back to melee classes because you found your braindead retard class. You could always try barb though I'm sure it's your speed.
Is this game seeing a resurgence? This thread is a lot more active than it was 5 months ago
Havent played in over a year, how is rogue now? Does poison finally work? I spent 100 hours last year losing endlessly
>>2032767dilate
>>2032791The Arc Raiders experiment failed, so everyone is coming back to D&D because it's an ACTUAL good extraction game.
>>2033092>ACTUAL good
>>2032791New map got hyped up and made people curious (it kinda sucks desu)
>>2034427The swimming is god awful, if you are on the surface there is no reason to not be able to swim at your normal MS. The audio underwater needs to be fixed too, I hate having my head on a swivel just because I can't hear someone swimming at me.>>2032791New content is ok, I was actually impressed these devs pulled off a water map but it needs a lot of tweaking that I wish they spent on class balance/new classes. Faustian Bargain is the best thing by far, the last week I have only been logging in for his dailys, playing as janky ass mobs is the most fun I had in awhile.
Squires to riches is way more fun over spending 10 minutes to hear up. I said it, HR sucks dick and is only for fomo collecting. Arena was a mistake
>>2035713I always considered solos HR to be the real game
>>2035713hr sucks right now because you can't even pick your map. I wanna go through and learn all the crypt bosses on hr but it just gives me goblin caves repeatedly.
>>2035713squire wizard and caster cleric can't even play the game
>>2035934And the game is healing
How the fuck do I play this game?
Is backstep ever worth it? It should go twice as far
>>2036419I haven't played ranger in a while, but from my experience it would send you 6 modules backward and then turn around and rape the barb chasing you, and then as he's crying out in pain you get to stab him repeatedly using your spear.Got many kills this way
>>2036419It's like the best ranger ability and one of the best in the game. The latest tourney winner was playing ranger backstep in comps, it's even better solo since you can use it to kite and chase if you can do the 180 fast enough. Keep in mind you keep momentum, so if you backstep down slopes or off ledges you gain most distance.
>>2036419the ranger who won the tournament used it every match
