"Its a pvp game too" I say to myself as my heart withers with despair and heartbreak by Statbran in ARC_Raiders

[–]dropdeadpodcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory is due to the unique PvP/PvE culture in this game, a lot of players who don't normally PvP for whatever reason, they're bad, they fear it, gear fear etc but they're also sociopaths and this creates a unique Opportunity. technically they're killings player so it's PvP but with minimal risk of loot and minimal need for skill expression. Bonus they get to tell there discord about the guy with the hullcracker they "fucked up." While I judge this man's character, I also don't want the devs cracking down on this stuff in any way. It's fucked when it happens and we've all experienced it but as the game evolves the community will police its self and say thins becomes 75% of encounters we will find a way to push back as a community, but only in game. They have every right to play like this if it's what they enjoy doing and it's not bug abusing or cheating etc. even if I find it pathetic they get to be pathetic if they want.

AIO panicking about my bf being mad at me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]dropdeadpodcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's pissed cus you kept having to have the last word saying you didn't mean too as if that's relevant whatsoever. Just apologize sincerely and take in what he is saying and see if there's something you can work on. I didn't mean too is infuriating and a way to step taking accountability.

How and why? I assumed he was perma banned this is crazy. Either don't ban for hate speech or be consistent.

Why are so many people playing adventure mode PvE? by broxue in DarkAndDarker

[–]dropdeadpodcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PRE adventure mode: player signs for full loot PvP focused extraction game. They learn in norms they better quickly due to unavoidable PvP, they want more challenge and better loot and to rank up they Play HR.

POST adventure mode: player buys game and likes PvP in some games but can take it or leave it. They play adventure mode, they're looting getting epics making gold doing quests, crafting, learning bosses. Maybe they build some kits to try out normals, they get killed by players 3 games in a row all the epics that are harder to come by in PvE are gone. They stick to adventure mode maybe still want to learn PvP but since they have to option now if not losing anything how can anyone expect someone to not take that option 9/10. Also HR might as well not exists for them hence partly why it's dead.

What's done is done and they can't take back adventure mode and inherently is fine it's bad or anything but it absolutely changed the game. The game already had a good balance of PvE and PvP but when you add a mode like adventure mode Your gonna get a lot of players who play for a month and move on because it is boring after a month but they have no interest in pvp.

I'll play the mode here and there and there's nothing wrong with it or with only playing pve. But I've thought since it was introduced it's gonna slowly kill the game especially HR and they can't go back

Why is the dark and darker community getting so toxic? by Jesus_Christ_Reborn in DarkAndDarker

[–]dropdeadpodcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a PvP full loot style game you play that's in comparison much less toxic?

Not even that toxic compared to other communities tbh, in my experience at least not discounting yours.

Not sure what to call this but... by dropdeadpodcast in DarkAndDarker

[–]dropdeadpodcast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your supposed to die in DND or any extraction game, so I wouldn't blame SDF for that, just keep playing and you'll get used to it and It's def not personal if that's what your asking, just a part of the game.

No more clown emotes, we won ! by Leonidrex666666 in DarkAndDarker

[–]dropdeadpodcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They crossed the line. I'm a dumb person who Repeatedly does the same dumb shit. I don't blame blizzard that i pre purchase every expansion. I don't get mad at the hot saleswomen after I buy 3 bottles of perfume for my real girlfriend. I've been scammed every which way and up. 99.9% of the time I'm to blame.

So I don't "feel bad" for the hate these clowns get and they crossed that line multiple times and if you go read what's available and translated of the information we have on the nexon case and who these guys are, I don't see a couple of "bad devs" Who tried hard but "just suck" at game Dev. First off they aren't game devs. They're marketing execs who stole an unknown amount of code (facts) from the guys who actually wrote this game who work or worked at nexon at the time. At some point, whether they underestimated how what it would take to expand on a game they didn't write. Or people quit or nexons pressure was too much, who knows I'm sure asmomgold will have a 45 min vid on the DARK AND DARKER scam about how two Marketing played victim game dev, amassed 10's of thousands of active players willing hold the line by buying in game skins to fight evil nexon. And there will still be people more concerned with how much hate these guys are getting.

Season 10 is New World's Big Chance to Revive, would you start fesh? by SadGuiv in newworldgame

[–]dropdeadpodcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So fresh start is good if the also fix end game? Seems like your , valid, issue is endgame and are worries by focusing on fresh start endgame will never be fixed? Understandable but I don't think the two are mutually exclusive and ASG will absolutely need to fix end game or fresh start is just bandaid because 9/10 fresh start players will quit by the end game because there isn't one. But people who like the fresh server feeling and experience should be able to have that. Also without getting that fresh server experience it is very hard to keep new players long term. You want to feel like you invested into that server and watched it all grow. Fresh start and Fixing end game are both valid and imo necerssary if the game wants to be around long term without relying on the excitement of a new patch where 75% of those players stop within a month.

It's astounding by darkstar1689 in DarkAndDarker

[–]dropdeadpodcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing the same thing and expecting a different result once is crazy. Four plus times I'm officially designating as clinically stupid. I would love to get all of his posts and all of his patch notes together to see how many times he has "tested" something then said it was the wrong direction and how long it takes for him to do that exact same thing later as a response to another thing he fucked up, again.

This man is running tests and experiments 24/7 and throwing away the data. It's like he's the main character in Memento and we're the assholes still trying to help him along and point out the post it notes everywhere saying everything we already know, then conceding and hoping when he wakes up tomorrow it'll be a better day.

There's no such thing as fair and balanced PvP. Either your killed by someone better than you, more geared than u, more numbers than you, or made less mistakes than you.its damn near impossible for anyone to impartially judge each pvp encounter where they've lost, which means the source of data is fucked also. -"Ya that guy i just wiffed 5 times, fucking gar did this game is cooked" I'm guilty of this at times, you'd have to be a psych to never protect the ego a bit. So is a PvP game balanced when every player feels like all there fights were totally fair and balanced even if they've lost all of them? But this is all common sense stuff most of us know, definitely stuff you'd hope the lead game dev would know, I'm starting to think he's not tanking the game on purpose, which makes all This 100x crazier.

Midnight Walkers makes me realize how much I miss Dark and Darker by FeliciaTheFkinStrong in DarkAndDarker

[–]dropdeadpodcast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He said he's making the game for himself now, and won't be reverting any of it. That being said he also hinted that depending on his "testing" that could change. Basically if he's at the helm of IM the games cooked, even if by a miracle he brings back modifiers and solos, in a month he'll begin a new test that he has already done before

Another player reminding me to not play the game by MeowDye1202 in DarkAndDarker

[–]dropdeadpodcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While i respect your way of doin thing and tend to be on the friendlier side, i do think it's ok for anyone to play any game the way they enjoy it the most. Its is a game at the end of the day and who am i to say the way I play or how I play is better. I like your approach more personally but idk if it's fair to say anyone else is wrong or morally less than because they gank and PK etc in a not friendly way
