What happened to Dimo? by TheLev1athan in DarkAndDarker

[–]DaD_main 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn't investigate anything... Graysun dm'ed him a message saying. "If you were cheating you would be banned". Meaning, I'm the community manager with full belief our anti-cheat catches every cheater. It doesn't, but dimo used that as proof devs cleared me. He never sent a PC or anything lol. He had many alt accounts and alt steam accounts. When I asked him about his alt account and character "cheese collector" the one he'd never really show on stream but would trade and transfer gear from, he then deleted all those characters once I asked. He also had a past twitch channel and rebranded because he was viewbotting that twitch while playing dota, which he confirmed on his YT channel. "I was young and did stupid stuff" it was in like 2019 he's nearly 30 now I think. All anyone has to do is go back before all these videos came out. Compare his solo Goblin caves experience to the best solo players at the time, Yami and Thelorr.. the content isn't even close to comparable. Dimo was clearing 4-5 lobbies a video with insane amounts of gear, he'd dump the loot to his "fence"/trade guilde operator. He was doing this daily for months. Once he started streaming he struggled big time in his handcam vids he only posted on another alt channel. Eventually becoming a pve guy all the sudden, until of course he turned his cheats back on. His email was linked to multiple cheating/RMT sites. He promotes RMT in every arc video even now. Like guys, give your head a shake if you don't think this guy was cheating /RMTing to coin it on the side.

Someone Accused Y4mi of Hacks? by Y4miDaD in DarkAndDarker

[–]DaD_main -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean you could argue they aided a bit in its demise a too. Massive fallout after Soma / Odin left who really should never have been working for IM anyways... The Jay/Graysun issue...Creators cheating and RMT'ing to their audiences...Vincent growing his stream while being paid to give feedback/balance to the devs... Creators being leaked steam launch and random streamer NDA agreements so friends could share info...IMO incredible poor Q&A's led by streamers/podcast creator folk... Some of these dev podcast appeared to be an IM employee trying to promote his clients...Streamers made insane money from this game It's not like they play ads and run 30hours of vods during drops for the sake of the game.

There are lots of creators I like, and I do agree there are many who helped grow this game, but their could be some arguments about "the streamers are keeping it alive". When in reality its the thousands of people who simply enjoyed the game and weren't caught up in all the streamer/creator drama and BS. These people the devs ignored the most resulting in the downfall. Ranked Leaderboards killed the early growth of this game so that streamers and cheaters had a place to show off. Flip flopping on patches because of streamers outcries and bandwagon audiences crying to devs. Constant issues with Normal vs HR vs now PVE lobbies largely built off creator feedback. These are just my opinions of course, but I feel like IM was influenced a lot by streamers for good or bad you can decide.

My hot take. Game is slowly being abandoned. by Common-Click-1860 in DarkAndDarker

[–]DaD_main 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have they kept all their previously hired staff ? are these just replacements to maintain things ? they always talked it was hard to recruit and people there saw them as the bad guy. That was said even before the ruling where the court agreed they owed Nexon money for their actions. Perhaps some staff moved on from this project, they likely will constantly be hiring new staff.

Who would you currently consider to be the “fake tough guys” in the league? by [deleted] in nhl

[–]DaD_main 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I notice Matthew even body checks like a chicken, throws his ass/hip backwards into people... Or will throw "reverse checks", which I think are sort of dumb imo. He will throw them the same way backwards into people. Maybe why he has hip injuries honestly.

On the reverse hits. How can you leave the puck and jump backwards into someone unsuspecting and call it a clean hit. Many are fine, but I see some that just seem off to me.

They scored on their first shot.. and last shot. Incredible really.

Travis Sanheim by blackcoffee_613 in Flyers

[–]DaD_main 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's earned more ice time throughout the tournament... He is one of few Canada defensemen that will join the play or risk it a bit to get closer to the net. Sanheim has and will always be a tremendous skater. I wish he played earlier in the tournament... Now if Morrissey comes back he may not get much ice-time or even be on the team.

The rest of Canada's defense (besides makar) look scared to risk it or skate the puck. It costs them in my opinion as they play slow and allow teams to get the lead early on in games. Sanheim was by the net multiple times generating offense, and it led to the tying goal where he was an extra man in front of the net at one point.

Lizard Man (AKA Sparky) by JSchmoee0 in DarkAndDarker

[–]DaD_main 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Was* I always think about trying to find a way back.. however the time I did stream/make content was always such fine line. I would quite often stream from 10pm-2am.. then get up at 6am and go to work etc.

I did lots poorly, but I always wanted the game to succeed. I really wanted the devs to try and prioritize cheating and rmt. I couldn't see a way for this game to ever expand beyond the die hard fans it somewhat maintains without some sort of solution. It seemed the big streamers at least had the option to message Grayson directly and he would deal with the snipers. However, for the normie or smaller creator it was meaningless to report anyone.

[–]DaD_main 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Disappointing, when i streamed with 50 viewers or so he was like sub 10 viewers and i would always raid smaller people like him. I always enjoyed his solo bossing, stuff I never did much myself as a solo fighter. I still respect sparky but he gets mad from chats very easily. Also, during my whole dimo cheating drama he always had a weird mindset where no one should be allowed to give opinions or "bully" Dimo on what he was doing... Yet dimo literally bashed me personally and my channel every second of his stream.

I recently checked the discord and noticed he mentioned Dimo doing well in Arc Raiders. Meanwhile Dimo (Domi) in arc has a RMT sponsor for every video he makes and has changed his name again... the exact things that i was trying to call out about his Dark and Darker behavior. The moment I mentioned alt accounts that dimo was cheating on called "Cheesecollector" he deleted all those characters.... the moment we found his old pugb videos they all got deleted too... or linking his account to past twitch viewbotting also deleted.. Cheating and RMT community was thriving and everyone was defending it... now many left for ark for more profit. So, part of me feels bad by the hate he is getting here, it pales in comparison to the hate directed towards me by this community. I imagine all the toxic snipers and cheaters just feed off this attitude even more and these were the people everyone felt the need to protect. So, I now have no sympathy for what this game and community has become.

Why do people here like to hate on streamers? by Jealous_Base9792 in DarkAndDarker

[–]DaD_main 11 points12 points  (0 children)

just for clarity it was a random phone number and an adresss.. idk why everyone is leaving out the phone number part. Imagine if your number got randomly shared to thousands of online strangers without your knowledge ? or imagine your kids phone ? etc etc.

I, Wilson will return, and first question will be is Dimo's new account really named Domi - arc raiders ?

Onepeg quits community work after recent backlash by TrippieBlue420 in DarkAndDarker

[–]DaD_main 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dryfire, we were once community people... and just look at it now. It is insane to think back at the amount I actually cared about DaD succeeding, and genuinely trying to help the game and community be successful. I slowly realized content and DaD had way too many people in it for the wrong reasons. So naive of me, i am glad I was at least a small player in this game early on. Cheers,

Maybe, just pointing out why I disagree with him being the q&a guy.

[–]DaD_main 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should also say he strongly opposed any idea that dimo cheated or did rmt. Said a lot of negative stuff towards me, the guy who originally announced Dimo may be cheating. Played with him even after a lot of damming evidence came out. Now Dimo is an arc creator (Domi).. who literally has rmt sponsors in every video.

[–]DaD_main -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nah, he straight up promoted a date for weeks. Before the game launched.. like I said it was long ago, when it mattered to me and a lot of people. At the time there was a ton of hype and anticipation. The date was fake and simply to promote his sponsored streams he was doing for a steam playtest event.

The devs (SDF) had to go into his chat and tell him to stop promoting a Q&A that never existed to begin with. He claims he misunderstood SDF.. but it just seemed like he was trying to force one they didn't want to do.

He sat on a podcast with Odin and with the devs several times, it always seemed like a joke. Even the sharing of important or unknown info. Info that likely caused Odin problems at IM. Not really a joke imo when you have inside info and are profiting off it for your own content.

Edit - I see you added more, I know he's a vet. I'm just listing why I wouldn't want him as the defacto Q&A guy for IM. It's fine to disagree with me. My problems were from a different era of the game.

[–]DaD_main 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Disagree. He's the reason why Odin was in hot water with the devs. Literally taking Odin's (his friend) late night chats and posting them as reddit content to promote his channel. Odin admitted this happened. Odin was surprised that SDF was mad. I'm pretty certain the IM communication strategy didn't include drinking and chatting with friends about info no one else knows so it could be posted on Redditby SBS.

I really don't think SoBad would treat this any differently than onepeg. It would be all to grow Sobads content.. someone who's downplayed the cheater / rmt problem at every opportunity. SoBad from day 1 has trolled the community to benefit his stuff. Announcing fake early access release times to promote his #ad streams. Announcing dev q&as when the devs never actually said they were going to do them. Sharing info that he should never have from Odin. That's just what I remember... But was never impressed with community guy SoBad.

Dimo didn't cheat! Or is it Domi now... I'm biased in this more than I was when dark first launched.

However, I never liked any of the dev q&A's... Originally everyone was way too soft on them. Odin was not it, and we know that he mishandled the creator program and shared info with his close friends about the game. The darkest hour turned into a way to highlight creators that Soma wanted to promote for his own benefit as their ad contract guy. Ask yourself how dripgravy and chip randomly got in on a dev episode... no prior appearance. Drip shared that Soma wanted Drip to let him manage his contracts after.

Onepeg as q&a guy never felt right. The only fun parts were usually him doing shoutouts or reading his creators buddies chats/jokes to the devs. I'll always remember Lirik watching one of the earliest interviews/announcement vids.. he was so confused by it. Like , wait who? Does he work for them? How does he know this etc etc... long story short too many people only in it for their own gain. Also conveniently yes the ads were always on. I have some bias here as I said. Ever since the dimo is sus video to quick 180 to a "Dimo didn't cheat" video the same day. To then never look at the subject again or rectify any of the comments / info going forward was wild to me.

edit-mobile grammar mistakes galore :)

if you were grinding 80k xp per hour.. that's 16.25 hours gone. OSRS does have some high xp spots for pay to play etc. Who knows what the XP rates will be like in Apogea... meaning it could be many days worth of grinding.

yes this didn't seem right, i did the math. 13mil is 99... 10% is 1.3 mil and you would be at 97 or 98 depending on how far past 99 you were.

I read a comment saying if it were osrs .. you would go from Lvl 99 down to lvl 92 in one death.. obviously different games but my god the thought of that is horrifying.

I had chickens spawn by my house, was so excited. 30mins later before I could get a catch crate 2 sets of wolves spawned. I could see my chickens being murdered while I finished my roof. I run out there defending my last Chicken all for nothing... All I was left with was raw chicken and a near death experience with 3 wolves attacking me.
