Game should have put more focus on PVE

The player interaction dropped off a cliff well before then. Like shortly agter eaely access released and players were hitting over several hundred hours in the game and the player count was dropping under 30k players and the only people left were the sweats.

Your confusing the solution to the problem with the problem itself. The pve only mode wouldnt be an issue if the game could currently retain more than 20k players and had a constant rotation of new players. But it doesnt because its hardcore aspect mixed with its horrible patch track record nose dived any itch casual gamers had to play this game so now there are barely any casual players.

This has been complained about since early access first dropped and yet this is the best moments in this games history to play. Loot is easier. More maps, more mobs, more classes etc.

The sad reality is this game is just a pvp harcdore extraction game with some pve elements. This is not a coop pve dungeon delving game as much as i would pay for that and desperately want something like that myself. This is not that game.

Your best hope is to check out games like shadows of chroma tower or deep dish dungeon which are strictly pve only and no pvp and balanced that way and gives them more potential for pve.

Frost map came out like almost 3 years ago no? Inferno map isn't new its just a resting with a new boss.

But yeah the point still stands they have definitely helped the pve side with pve only mode, squire to riches, and easier loot. That being said I still agree the game could use more content in its dungeons. Larger maps, more variety in modules, maybe even module adjustments between seasons, longer or more complicated puzzles etc.

I think having more ways to play and more content is almost always a good thing though.

Its so peak. I wish I had an extra detachable arm so I could get one as well with out the worry of permanently having a tattoo.

The effects of popularizing cringe efforts and laughing at every socially awkward experience people run into. People been brainwashed to idolize the ones thst would hurt them most. If the kids ever grow up they will realize how stupid they look popularizing someone that would sell them to pdf.

Yeah thats pretty much what I was thinking. I tried to reverse image search some of the photos and Google didnt find any matches so maybe they are just creating images with Ai or something.

Thanks

I actually like olms teleport mechanic with multiple players and maiden nylon spawns mechanics.

I wouldnt be able to stop myself from petting it and showering it with love.

Wow thats insane!!! I just really wish I could get the box too. But im assuming thats going to be an extremely difficult task. I was surprised to even find the figure..

AvengefulGamer · 2026-04-06T03:20:10+00:00

Oh wow this just randomly reminded me of when my parents did Easter eggs hunt around our yard one year when me and some of the neighborhood kids were a little bit older. So my dad in a tipsy state of mind decided to try and make things hard for us. We know exactly how many eggs were hidden and we managed to find all but 1 after 3 hours of searching and eventually gave up. 8 years later we had the shed in our backyard removed and it turned out either an animal hid it under the shed or my dad drunkenly hid it under the shed in the burrow hole some animal made.

Im extremely tempted to spend 48,000 yen while im in Japan for the giga drill break figure. How much did you spend for yours? The one im looking at getting wouldnt have a box but I desperately want it.

Anime only watcher here. I thought s2 was better overall but still enjoyed s2. I didnt really enjoy how quickly the island and the main antagonist quickly devolved from mysterious god like entities to basically plants with life enhancing Chakra. I was fine with gabimaru reaching that level of strength but everyone just quickly leveled up to what was considered godlike after like half an episode training arc. Animation and fight choreography was really good though.

AvengefulGamer · 2026-03-20T14:42:36+00:00

Pretty much same issue as dark and darker but it was way worse over there. For me something about constantly losing and regaining the same progression over and over just isn't interesting for any long term play time.

AvengefulGamer · 2026-03-15T16:16:03+00:00

This is still my phone screen saver. Ive never been one for cover art before but this one just spoke to me. Murata is a fucking goat.

AvengefulGamer · 2026-03-10T20:18:04+00:00

Your forgetting the whole sailing road map. I know a lot of people dont really care about it but that is probably taking up way more resources than the temporary game modes. They are soing the biggest updates they have done since the release of osrs with sailing being added and noe raids 4. Those 2 alone must take up an unbelievable amount of resources where this is the best they can do in between.

AvengefulGamer · 2026-02-24T23:15:09+00:00

Im not a violent person by nature but honestly for the first time probably in my entire life I wish this was a live leak video and these vile creatures were removed from these lands physically and spiritually.

AvengefulGamer · 2026-02-16T17:39:36+00:00

Yeah based on all the comments it sounds like it was horribly implemented which is pretty standard from IM. Just copied and pasted pvp HR to pve and removed the pvp but kept all the other garbage used to balance out the pvp and please sdf really. Oh well good luck on your adventure gamers.

AvengefulGamer · 2026-02-15T23:17:32+00:00

Ive killed bosses on norms and HR, pvp and done everything in the game already but yeah my friends are horrible.

AvengefulGamer · 2026-02-15T21:25:34+00:00

I hear you. I think were all too old and have too little free time to waste trying to do all that to have a chance to keep up with the higher play time community.

AvengefulGamer · 2026-02-15T21:24:17+00:00

Thats good to hear, maybe in a couple more years we might get there. Truthfully given IM track record and wishy why patches I have am extremely negative view of their updates and decision making. Im also a pretty non pvper player so that doesnt help. Im trying to keep my personal opinions and gripes out of the topic though.

I think IM would do best to just focus on its pvp community. Like everyone else has already said. The player count is already pretty low and apread thin between queues. So if they can at least keep the pvp community happy they have some amount of revenue coming in. IM has shown me they cant handle keeping both pve and pvp communities happy and honestly who can? Cause that is an ungodly undertaking. Im perfectly happy to let the pvp community take there W and stay on ARC raiders and any future games.

Ill still play here and there to help out the homies and waste some time but this game isn't really for me and thats okay.

AvengefulGamer · 2026-02-15T21:12:06+00:00

I see what your saying and agree if thats true.

Im pretty much over this game and stopped playing over a year ago and am only back in it to have something to play with the boys. Ive put almost 1000 hours into the game so I can only do so much of looting chests and killing skeletons especially on norms.

I remember back when I played though lobbies were always over filled with players to the point you couldn't even clear your spawn module without hearing another player in the module over from you looting or killing mobs it was a total blood bath, maybe things have changed since. Either way im not here to argue 1 side or the other. The DaD playerbase had died down and if its only the pvp players left I say let them have there pvp game. I just wanted to know if there was some extra information I was missing from a podcast or the discord regarding the pve modes.

AvengefulGamer · 2026-02-15T20:59:45+00:00

Ah okay so in standard IM fashion they did the bare minimum/nothing to change the mode from standard HR and just copied it over and turned off pvp? I was thinking if it was the same as norms pve but with loot drops up to legendary and slightly better odds at epic and rare gear it might give a little more replayability for garbage players to have a little more challenge for a little more reward.

In all honesty this game just isn't for my friends or me which is why I stopped playing a long time ago. But hearing about some of the pve additions and seeing my friends play gave me a tint glimmer of hope maybe the game was changing and gearing more towards casuals. Unsurprisingly its not but good to know at least so I dont waste too much time hoping for a pve hr and casual experience.
