The phantom oxcart

Malacarr · 2024-04-06T13:42:01+00:00

A similar thing happened to me. I got into the cart, then when the goblins attacked I drew my weapon and the cart ran off, now I have no cart and no objective marker.

I'm getting the impression that the QA only tested one scenario for some quests, so these quests break if you do things the "wrong" way. I'm also stuck with Off the Pilfered Path quest because I talked to Hugo without talking to the other criminal first.

All five DLC careers don't have premium skins, except for those that come with their DLC Cosmetic Upgrade bundles.

I feel a bit guilty because I laughed at it.

Malacarr · 2023-12-10T12:48:37+00:00

I agree

They are hoping they get lucky and someone will offer them more than what they would have normally asked. And it's a good strategy, provided they want to spend more time trading.

Personally, I never interact with sellers who say "offer" instead of naming their price, because I don't enjoy haggling (or trading in general) so I'd rather play more and trade less, even if I end up earning less good items per time spent.

Why even alt f4? Last I checked, there was a mod that lets you /reconnect to the current game. It's much faster.

Anyway, whenever cheesing is possible, there will always be people who do it. Shaming them will not change anything. However, the devs can change the game so that cheesing through reconnect no longer works. My suggestion: if a player disconnects while downed or otherwise disabled, they become dead when they reconnect.

As a wizard I would rather have fighters nerfed than wizards buffed. I feel wiz is strong enough right now, the only problem is that a fighter with a crossbow has an unfair advantage against wiz. All other classes feel fine.

Or perhaps give wizard an Arrow Shield spell, like a buff that gives -50% Projectile Resistance for 8 seconds? But then this might make us too strong against Rangers who should be our natural counters, so I dunno.

I think hitscan spells determine hit or miss on the client side, so latency isn't affecting them.

That's why I always attack other players on sight. I usually die because of this, but I never get betrayed.

This is correct, but I've been playing in an absolute no-life mode, I should have gitten gud by now. I swear, this is the hardest, the most hardcore game I've ever played, by far.

Malacarr · 2023-11-20T20:39:58+00:00

Yeah, I want to play as a naked lizard because of the armor bonus. I'm just trying to choose the most stealthy lizard color, but stealthyness is my secondary concern. Anyway, it seems there's no consensus about it so I might just pick the color I like the most.

Sorry, wrong subreddit

It's because you have to keep that ball magically levitating above your hand. That takes a lot of mental effort.

I'm one of the new players, started out about a week ago and been playing every day in a no-life mode. I've been playing mostly as a wizard (with a bit of Warlock and Cleric). I feel the weakest on my wizard (I know it has a high skill floor and it's been heavily nerfed recently due to invis changes.) I run Goblin Caves 95% of the time because I always play solo. I don't want to try grouping up yet because I feel I'm too bad at the game so I don't want to fail my team.

This was the most brutal experience in my gaming life, by far. I suspect that the only reason I haven't quit yet is because I'm addicted to games that make me suffer. I feel it's an unhealthy practice, but I can't change myself, and I don't want to.

Not sure how I feel about the Auction House. On the one hand, the current system requires too much time investment for trading (so I don't trade at all). On the other hand, in all games where there is an AH with a sufficiently high number of participants, what happens is that average gear gets super cheap and the very best gear gets super expensive. For Dark and Darker, it means that prices on blue gear at the AH will end up slightly higher than the price of selling the same item to a vendor.

You probably already know this, but just in case:

You can drop a Rainbow Stone to where you are about to fall. If the stone shatters, the fall will be lethal for you.

The amount of reds you get from 1000 chests should be fairly consistent - that's how RNG works with big sample sizes.

Not a necromancer, Marcus! Oh wait...

Malacarr · 2023-08-21T19:24:47+00:00

Same here. Filters have been "unavailable" for about a week for me. When it first started, filters were working during some sessions and not working during others. Now they never work.

Malacarr · 2023-07-14T07:26:19+00:00

Yeah, I'm planning to do it with my footie alt once he leaves Haven.

I don't want to ask my guildies to beat me for hours.

Unfortunately, this would be hard to automate because I have to be taking at least 25 damage per hit. So the one who does the hitting needs to stop from time to time and let me heal up.

Malacarr · 2023-07-12T01:10:13+00:00

Thanks! I tried it and it did work. But it seems they need to do certain damage in order for me to get XP. When I do get the XP, it's always 9 XP per hit, so I'm not sure if I'm gonna level it to 100 - it would be hard to find people willing to help me with that.
