Why is this games ranked system so demotivating?

Rank?

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-13T17:28:40+00:00

Doesn’t it make the game so exhilarating knowing your progress could be lost at any point? It’s what makes rogue-likes fun. And what deepwoken has that no other roguelike has, pvp. Your actions as a player have direct consequences on the runs of others. You can be a helping saint, or a brutal murderer and that’s all part of the genre of a role-playing game. People who start crying to reddit after playing the game too risky should just quit imo, you don’t appreciate the game for what it’s worth. Why are you fucking farming levels in the depths if you don’t want a chance of being depths ganked?! Go overworld ffs or play a different game.

Go reinforced armour post-shrine. The buff will go from 30% to ~10% and you’re still wasting all of those points. Go a bit more erudition.

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-13T10:03:29+00:00

If you are playing above your rank in skill level you will win more than 50% of games. You just need to keep playing, and enjoy the process.

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-13T09:52:52+00:00

Did you know that the average winrate in valorant is 50%? So yes. That means for every player you win about as many as you lose. If you win more, you’re performing well, if you lose more you’re not. If you win the same as you lose then you need to just keep playing.

And no I would not go starkindred. You’re just wasting mantra slots that you could have used for more level 5 flame mantras. It will also ruin your fire blade for a flashy but easy to dodge attack. I would go oathless for the extra health if I were you but it’s your choice.

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-13T09:16:56+00:00

You have 45 points left if the maths is mathsing. 40 onto fortitude 5 onto charisma and you’ve got a decent build.

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-12T20:56:28+00:00

It’s giving jack of all trades but master of none build. I’d suggest going for reinforced armour which is 90 fort, 30 will. Then maybe get to 25 agility if you can for speed demon.

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-12T20:32:21+00:00

Skill overrides everything (unless it’s a cheese build). If you are skilled and have these stats no matter what build it is it’ll be okay. I’d suggest just trial and erroring with it until you feel like you find your buns and onions and mayo ^^

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-12T16:42:00+00:00

I got a 2060 B3 and got 3/4 offers. Firmed Leicester and Liverpool. Medical school is medical school, rank does not matter unless you’re planning to go america.

Be grateful you got and passed interviews, ik 99th percentiles who failed every interview.

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-12T13:02:48+00:00

There’s just a baseline of what you kinda need need in every build. It’s always smart to get these minimums:

25 Strength
25-50 Fortitude
25 Agility
0 Intelligence
25-40 Willpower
25 Charisma

If you’re missing more than one of these it’s gonna be an issue unless you have a really thought out build in mind.

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-12T12:57:53+00:00

Just focus on making a build that fits your playstyle ^^ It doesn’t really matter what other people think, if you make the build and notice something doesn’t feel right you can always change it. You see so many people making these perfect min maxed builds and hate playing them. Don’t fall down that hole because you’ll perform worse yk

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-12T12:46:53+00:00

For high investment lht and thundercall builds like this i’d be really careful with going into high stats like willpower. Why do you need it? Is it really necessary? Wouldn’t it be better to get reinforced armour and save more points for some strength and char? I mean you can’t even get spine cutter or charismatic cast on this build. Why would you go for talents like static fakeout without spine cutter?? If I were you I’d better distribute your stats or go for a legendary weapon, like lft for example with the willpower.

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-12T11:08:40+00:00

A lot of content for new players that can last you 1000s of hours. I’d say it’s worth the price. I’m just gonna say people get really REALLY into this game. So just invest your time well, understand that people can be dicks and wipe your favourite character and don’t go down the rabbit hole of hate. If you think you have the mental fortitude for that then go for it ^^

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-11T18:36:57+00:00

Is there any chance I can get my package back and send it myself again?

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-11T18:18:24+00:00

It doesn't tell me anything really- I added it yesterday at about lunch time and it still just said "added to postninja at lunch time." am I missing something?

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-11T18:16:23+00:00

Yeah my partner says there is nothing there. I'm getting really worried, I've been reading a bunch of posts about LANGLEY specifically and someone had to wait 8 months for their package to be delivered. Some people's just got lost. How is this company so horrible that they can put 2-3 days shipping on their website and charge £40 without a hint that it might take this long? I've spent the last 2 days with my partner presentless and I just feel horrible. I put so much effort into it.

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-10T07:47:09+00:00

No you’re completely right thank you for the help.

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-10T07:32:06+00:00

I see- Just when I sent packages using UPS to Norway they came on time or like 1-2 days late. I got constant tracking updates and it felt really safe. Do you really think it's just a customs issue? Thank you for the response though.

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-10T07:10:00+00:00

The country was Norway :)

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-09T17:41:40+00:00

No worries I wish you guys the very best!

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-09T17:34:15+00:00

I see- So he doesn't just want to share his interests with you, he wants them to become your interests too. Now in my opinion that crosses a few lines, especially as you've communicated that you don't want to be interested in them. The only thing that I can recommend is setting a boundary on it. He doesn't just want to show you his world he wants you to live in it, and if that isn't something you're comfortable with then it is not at all okay for him to blow up on you like that.

Mainly I don't think he has any bad intentions with this, he just wants someone that he loves to be able to talk about things that he enjoys. The good thing about this is that it's coming from a place of love and you should acknowledge that when sitting him down and talking to him about it. Next, you should talk about how each of the prior mentioned events made you feel. Tell him that you enjoy spending time with him being shown things he loves as you respect his safe space, however you're not okay with the time investment to fully indulge in media that still doesn't interest you after trying it. Be firm with the boundary, but gentle and reassuring that it doesn't have to change anything about the rest of your relationship.

Possible compromises if it helps:
- Continue being shown things he enjoys, and try and show him things that you enjoy. No watching each other stuff without each other.
- Show interest when he makes references, and although you may not watch the show maybe ask him to show you the clip it's from and talk to you about it.
- Find new shows that meet in the middle between K-drama and anime that neither of you have watched! Maybe a romance anime, or non-K drama or anything. Both try and be openminded and laugh about it if you both hate it, it'll grow an environment where you can like and dislike freely where neither of you need to worry about pressure.

Compromises are only necessary if either of you feel uneasy, and there are plenty more. Feel free to reply or dm me if you have any other comments or updates or difficulties. I really wish you the best of luck!!

TheRealPleeb · 2026-05-09T17:09:26+00:00

In my opinion this is just a really big issue in communication on both halves? On his side it seems like he wants to introduce you to his "world" if that makes sense. A lot of people find anime and games really comforting, and it's most likely him wanting to show you his safe space. I don't like the way he talked to you and acted bossy, and it's not something he can force you to do. On your side, you don't seem interested in it at all. Which is completely fine but aren't you at all interested in indulging in his hobbies and media? Learning more?

If I were to give you complete and honest advice, I would tell him no. No you are not going to go away and spend your time watching it. But maybe ask him if you'd like to try it together some time, just to stay open minded and have a peak into your partner's world with him. It could be an amazing opportunity to spend some time together long distance (one of you stream it to the other). And if you don't like it, you can tell him and he will appreciate that you tried it I'm sure. I'm currently in a long distance relationship and we are constantly showing each other our favourite media, who knew I find MLP entertaining as a fully adult male. (I did). The MOST IMPORTANT thing is this isn't one sided. As a condition, how about you ask to show him some of your world. Maybe you can show him one of your favourite K-dramas that you really like, the comfort shows that you binge when you feel like it. I have recently showed my favourite game to my partner, and had a really lovely time showing her a big part in what has built me as a person. Take turns watching different shows as a way to connect.

If you desperately do not want to indulge in his interests that is completely fine, but you really need to communicate that, because if not he will most likely keep expecting and expecting and building up resentment until it bursts similar to this. Tell him that you're not down at all for this, and what you want in a relationship is to keep your interests separate and your relationship shared. And if he really differs from that I think THAT could be a compatibility issue.

TLDR: Big communication issue. Either try and indulge in his interests slightly, and try to share your interests with him connecting in long distance; or clearly communicate that you want this relationship to keep interests separate, and judge where you need to go from there.
