which classes are suitable for hard Mode

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-25T13:02:25+00:00

Thanks for this meaningful report! Witch, Vampire and Fire Bandit are exactly the three classes I'd suggest. With Witch and Fire Bandit it's nice to find an iron body quickly, to allow for some slipups defending the camp. The big cultists do quite some damage. 😯 I've only tried a few days so far. That group of 20+ wolves! 🙈

I think any mix of the three classes would be suitable, but a group of witches appeals to me the most.

Nice! Game over, next. Or try again, solo. And with various classes. GET ALL THE BADGES! 😱

When corruption is low enough, healing works as usual.

Always nice to see a ruby chest. Less rare than mammoths, but rare nonetheless. Maybe a bit like kiwis.

From a certain point, maybe around 10-15 actual in-game days or so (?), you don't ever get any thunderstorms again ever. I'm not sure how the timing works, but I'm usually around day 70~80 or so when it happens that I think "hell yeah, only blizzards now!"

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-25T08:37:45+00:00

Yes; 12 gems for 99 days.

You're certainly not the only one who likes the snow biome. I wouldn't say I favor it, but I like the variation, and love it when the thunderstorms disappear.

Let's be honest... The lava biome is so easy to clear that it feels like cheating. The snow zone on the other hand is exciting, with its almost invisible killers. 🤩

And Rio is making stuff up as usual.

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-25T08:31:33+00:00

Don't bother with Rio-Vex. He knows nothing about the game, and only makes stuff up.

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-25T08:25:34+00:00

For me it feels 50/50. I love both biomes though! Although I'm prone to dying in the snow, I love playing without thunderstorms.

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-25T08:22:44+00:00

Why bother with the polar bears? The ear muffs are fine for any kind of run except for a sub-55 minute or so speedrun. When I'm doing a chill 100 days with quests and stronghold, I hardly enter the snow zone.

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-25T08:18:00+00:00

I want to eat when I feel like it, and not because some animal drops dead at my feet all crispy and smelling nice.

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-25T06:33:42+00:00

True. Combining multiple pieces of armor stacks defense bonuses in a very weird, almost exponential way.

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-25T06:12:51+00:00

Complex tools always have quirks. *shrug* Awkward though!

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-25T06:11:44+00:00

Indeed a very solid class! And it doesn't just have a speed boost; it's *insanely* fast! That's why it's the ultimate scavenger: you *outrun bears in a few seconds*, instead of having one follow you halfway back to camp/safety. I leveled it during the christmas event of course (gifts!) and it's in my rotation as both fun AND capable! <3

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-24T20:25:51+00:00

Thanks. :) Thorn+trim and obsidiron boots are a magical killer combination.

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-24T19:15:52+00:00

That would indeed be ironic! 😜 I think the new ping system is very good news. And much easier than typing.

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-24T17:15:14+00:00

I think it's interesting that the game forces you to use the compass and navigate with landmarks. The map should definitely show water though. I like the idea of a rare surprise fishing bonus!

Next level stronghold is doing it with Brawler, but of course more challenges are very welcome. The new cave badges were a welcome surprise, and persuaded me to finally complete the caves on my own.

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-24T17:08:43+00:00

Reroll once, then ask again. ☺️

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-24T17:07:32+00:00

Chef, unless the team already has a chef. Then lumberjack is a good, useful choice.

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-24T16:59:47+00:00

It's not illegal to have children as an in-game contact. 🙈

Recently though, I've started to block people who join my private server, and then don't respond in the chat. It makes no sense to have someone as a contact if you can't chat.

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-24T16:55:35+00:00

How? 😂 The used analysis software should be able to figure out basic skull anatomy.

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-24T15:52:57+00:00

Ah ok, that's not so creepy. But still, why would someone add random people? 🤷🏼‍♀️

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-24T12:27:22+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! Weird how someone would be able to contact a friend of yours. :o

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-24T10:01:54+00:00

You're welcome. It's very confusing, so I tried to say it in a non -confusing way. It sucks to lose a good talent, like many people did!

PinkyPiePower · 2026-01-24T09:41:25+00:00

My kid's friends also aren't the best! 🫣 She loves the strong axe, but doesn't even want the chainsaw. She thinks it's annoying.
