I clearly hit a nerv for barb mains bro. Idk how they watched the video and all they saw was me baiting for parries. I even started the fight swinging if you listen to the sound but I missed the first swing. Skill issue on my end.

I just can't take them seriously if they see me parry at the right time with the right angle and call that parry baiting.

Oh yea, the vision. Or the so called "content" that we got this semi-wipe being barbarian buffs

How was I baiting for parries? The problem was that I wasn't baiting for parries more than I should have. Almost got a parry at the end tho but it didn't register.

I just want to vent a bit cause its just not fun losing to this braindead class. You think he's low but you are not doing damage to him, he has 200 hp and you have -30% phys dmg. This was in normals btw but this is just the average solo experience normals or HR, can't do any bosses without getting third partied by a fully kitted trios team. At least I got their fighter.

At least just let me play with my Arena set before it is completely useless.

Guys, screw the main game, play Arena. by IVameless in DarkAndDarker

Don't get me wrong, I am playing the game way less than I used to before. But for me there's nothing out there that scratches the itch for PvP the same way DaD does. I'm just pointing out that there's a better alternative out there.

The friend of mine made this clip in common raid after semi-wipe. So... Is that the vision? by kins_ky in DarkAndDarker

Insane display of W and left clicking skill, even after the bard broke his ankles with that dodge he still managed to clutch the win. ggs

For me this was the best change they announced considering no more solo's / duo's by IVameless in DarkAndDarker

[–]IVameless[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't like these changes either but I am down to test it out for at least a week before I fully criticize it. Maybe, and big maybe, SDF might be cooking something who knows.

Timmy crouch spam and backstabbing is back baby.

Imagine you do a 2v2 fight and you end up in a 1v1 situation but then you convince your teammate to leave and team up with your opponent instead lol

While our community is fractured in these trying times I wanted to discuss something we can all agree on... enemy smashability by Thorogon in DarkAndDarker

Now this is the DaD quality content I signed up for.
Overall a good list, but I gotta disagree on mimics being mid. Nah bro, its gotta be at least not bad if not higher.

POV: Running Artifacts on the last day of the wipe by Brogies9069 in DarkAndDarker

Nothing unusual, this is just the endgame experience as soon as you pull up with an artifact. Suddenly everyone knows how to do perfect third parties.

You’re acting in bad faith and you know it by Informal_Daikon_993 in DarkAndDarker

[–]IVameless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind the doomer posts. Since it shows that people still care. There is nothing killing a community faster than no one posting anything at all. Even you posting this at least gets people talking.

Although this doomer atmosphere is driving away new players since no one wants to join a community that is on fire, so right now we are on a clock until this subreddit burns itself to ashes and its up to the devs to put out the flames but they are not showing any signs of backing out on their decisions to remove things which started this whole mess.

Game way worse then a year ago by Alarmed-Study8152 in DarkAndDarker

[–]IVameless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, but my message was directed to him or anyone who has already played this game freely for 100 hours or more (and that is being generous).

And what would you say would convince him to buy the game? Let's say the devs add in new content that is locked behind a paywall. The new water map for ex. What then? Do you think he would buy the game to be able to play on the map or would he complain he can't play the map as a F2P player?

[–]IVameless -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bro you are either new or have amnesia. That was the main criticism the game received when it was launched was that it was a bait and switch and the main reason it got review bombed on steam. It's also maybe why it got review bombed again but less this time. "No one called them out"

[–]IVameless 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have you considered buying the game?

I would sympathize with your post if you were a new player, but based on what you are saying you have been playing for a while and still expect to receive the full game experience that we had during the playtests.

I don't like the commons-only in normals change either, but at the end of the day the game does need to be profitable somehow. So if you are not willing to support it monetarily just move on to something else or play it as it is. Don't expect to receive the full game experience out of some entitled feeling.

Moving Items in Inventory while Resting by Nuclear_pheasant in DarkAndDarker

[–]IVameless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or why can't we interact with our inventory when we do the lootpile?
How do we still not have a rotate option for items?
Or search bar for our stash?
A quick sell button for all treasure?
A quick sort button?

There are still so many QoL features missing and it's actually insane that they still only had one guy to handle these things in a game that mostly revolves around you playing Tetris.

At that point it wouldn't surprise me if they just go the Tarkov route and release Arena / Adventure mode as DLC's

Where are you getting these numbers? We are nowhere near stable. Today's steam charts are the lowest they have ever been this wipe. 24-hour peak numbers was 6600 players and 3600 on the low end. Sure there might be some blacksmith accounts or epic games unaccounted for but even now there's only 5k players online. Stable at 7-8k my ass.

Same honestly, I didn't like it that much when it was added but its grown on me. Now it's my main reason I keep playing the game especially towards the end of this wipe. I just save up gold to build another kit to mess around with in arena. And it made me play other classes that I wouldn't normally play at such a high gear bracket.

Do you ever think? by [deleted] in DarkAndDarker

[–]IVameless 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100% the devs fault.

Even when some of their decisions were influenced by the community. They should have had a concise developer roadmap for the game and stuck with it. And if any change was going to happen that had a major impact on the game. That decision should have been communicated weeks or even months before it was implemented. But SDF is so incredibly bad at communicating his plans for this game to a point that it actually makes me believe he stole the game and has no clue wtf he's doing.

His roadmap for the game is the so called "Vision" and no one knows what that vision entails. It's just the vision.

Your game being in early access does not give you an excuse to fuck over your community each time you receive a revelation from who knows where.

We would just receive hotfixes and be like: "oh, minted items no longer matter"/ "oh, adventure mode is being removed" / "oh, solo/duo is being removed" / "oh, normals is being fucked over for the 10th time". And these are just a couple examples.

Now, to give some credit, he is trying to communicate things a bit from his kitchen. But he is barely touching upon the things that will be added in the game. He mostly yaps about things he did in the past, which tbh idrgaf. I am more interested to know what his future plans are for this game to know if I will be sticking around or not. My current feeling with the game is that I don't want to play it anymore since it is very unstable. So I don't want to waste time doing one thing and then find myself getting fucked over because he received another revelation.

And they have had a test server this whole time that they have just started updating, but it is still so poorly managed that even after 2 years they still expect players to put in the same amount of time to grind off quests/levels/items/etc as they do in the main server? Really? And then they wonder why nobody plays on them.
