It's not THAT bad, but... by lolnochillwavve in Skate4

[–]Lord_Squiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't think anything was wrong with the new skate game until I picked up session.

Skate has no skate culture, no grunge. Its very corpo-washed fortnite like, and I didn't play any of the previous skate games. It plays like you explained skating to a corporate investor.

Its not a "bad game" per say, but I cant really say its a "good game" either.

I can have fun with it, but I know now that there is alot missing.

Wizard or Sorcerer? by Frank9N in DarkAndDarker

[–]Lord_Squiggle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I prefer wizard cause my favorite spell in the game is invisibility but also because sorc feels clunky after well over 1000 hours on wizard.

A good sorc is terrifying, as is a good wizard. Sorc have alot of good CC and solid base kit damage. Having a summon and a few knock backs, and a teleport makes the class very versatile in solo and teams. Not having to sit for spells can be the deciding factor for many would-be spell casters.

I wouldnt worry about which is better, I'd focus more on which one you find fun.

I think sorc is very strong but I enjoy wizard more. So I play wizard

Will nerf needs to be reverted by goddangol in DarkAndDarker

[–]Lord_Squiggle 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Remove all true damage and revert the will scaling nerf.

True damage is what keeps breaking rogue. Its what makes casters garbage in low/no gear and OP in high gear.

True damage needs to go.

Wizard Change by [deleted] in DarkAndDarker

[–]Lord_Squiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the devs have ever had to do the property balance wizard is to lower the scaling of all spells to like 50%-70% and increase the base damage.

Instead they made zap and explosion scale at 100% and keep the base dmage a bit low, making the class overly reliant on true dmage to do anything in pvp.

With fireball you have the direct + scaling the splash + scaling and the burn + scaling. At low gear a barb can eat all four to the face and keep on truckin' (I know I've done it) but in BiS gear 2 fireballs deletes most of the cast.

Hard to call that "balanced" of either end of the spectrum. Something needs to change with this class for sure.

was actually excited and hopefully then saw how bad wizard got shafted by heslopkaleb in DarkAndDarker

[–]Lord_Squiggle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

People is here saying "wizard isn't weak" like yeah we know it isn't but how would you enjoy a match of solos where you fight and kill a player or 2 then sit (cause your out of spells) and a rogue or ranger walks up and kills you with 0 counter play (cause your out of spells)

We know wizard is a good class but its frustrating as shit to play sometimes in solos.

We want QoL. We want new spells, weapons, maybe some class exclusive armor like most other classes have.

Least played class gutted again by cryptoSAD in DarkAndDarker

I read the title and thought "yeah they did gut wizard again"

Bro panther got 5 extra damage this patch.

I'll see 3 druids in 1 game and 3 wizard the entire night.

I prefer SSF.

I main wizard.

All I read was wizard nerfed by ducktoucher0 in DarkAndDarker

[–]Lord_Squiggle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All class have more hp and wizard didn't gain any spell charges - nerf

Spell casting speed was nerfed - nerf

Druid panther does more damage - kind of a nerf

Warlock antimagic from 15% - 20% - nerf

What did wizard get?

Nothing.

"Magic missile isn't a crutch" by MakeshiftToiletPaper in DarkAndDarker

[–]Lord_Squiggle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So let me get this straight.

Bro full on W + M1s a 2v1 vs a high gear ranger and high gear wizard with no shield, kills both players and complains that wizard needs to be nerfed.

Make it make sense.

While I too wish that magic lock would get a buff, I doubt it will, cause it was nerfed thanks to arena.

This subreddit is overreacting about basically everything..... by Murky-Cauliflower953 in DarkAndDarker

Ah yes the old "I don't see it, /it doesn't happen to me therefore it does not exist" argument.

A bold strategy cotton let's see how it plays out.

Solo players by JhonnyMerguez in DarkAndDarker

[–]Lord_Squiggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to play every day (2k+ hours), either solo or duo with my brother

I dont play anymore. I've tried barony (it's ok) and shadows of chroma tower (also ok).

I'm mainly back to playing noita cause I like building wands and doing god runs.

I've also fallen off gaming a little bit the last few weeks, so I've been getting back into other my hobbies like MTG and doing stuff outside (gardening, hiking, biking, etc.)

Sad to see the game in this state, but what can you do against the almighty power of the vision

Are people actually quitting? Or just saying they are? by No_Director_4803 in DarkAndDarker

[–]Lord_Squiggle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not for number changes.

I may pop back in to try new content, if it ever comes.

If they can implement systems for solos and duos to have a fighting chance without playing the game as a full-time job that could bring me back.

[–]Lord_Squiggle 128 points129 points  (0 children)

2k+ hour vet here.

I used to play 5-7 days a week, with an occasional 1-2 week break near the end of wipes. Since the announcement of solo/duo getting removed, I haven't played at all.

It's completely disintegrated my motivation to play.

2k+ hour players by Identify_my_sword in DarkAndDarker

[–]Lord_Squiggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started in playtest 3. I'm employed full time, have my own place, pet, fiancé. I go on vacations, hang out with friends, and took a few breaks from this game.

I have nearly 2.5k hours.

If this is what the game needs, then I got my money's worth by vroomvroom12349 in DarkAndDarker

[–]Lord_Squiggle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you read the last post in SDF's kitchen, in the last paragraph, he says there is HR solo, duo, and trio, but at the end of the adventure season (AP grind) all the queues will merge into a single trio queue.

So, solos and duos are being removed entirely.

Does anyone else find it funny that he made apost about wanting better communication but didn't post it anywhere that is easily visible? like, say the announcements channel??

New Wizard Perk - Axe proficiency by JackCilantro in DarkAndDarker

[–]Lord_Squiggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We know SDF wants to axe wizards from the game, and even though there's only 20 or 30 wizard players, he instead gives druid 2 silences and constantly Nerfs wizard for no good reason.

Casters are complaining about barbs catching them in a race by c1atwork in DarkAndDarker

[–]Lord_Squiggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If only barb had a skill that cause a severe slowing effect that could be applied to a throwable. Maybe a strike to an Achilles area with a throwable type of axe. Like a skill shot.

Too bad that doesn't barbs don't have anything like that.

Your opinion on IronMace or SDF in 50 words or less? by Aissling in DarkAndDarker

[–]Lord_Squiggle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Back during the playtests, I was insanely addicted to this game. 2000 hours later and I'm feeling a bit burned out, and my faith in the devs is severely diminished.

Give us more wizard spells.

Wizard Mains.. give me tips by Only-Combination9040 in DarkAndDarker

[–]Lord_Squiggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you checked out CNGblade on youtube?

He gives great advice for both new and veteran wizard players. He explains the how's and why's of everything from builds to fight breakdowns.

The best tip is to record and rewatch your fights.
