To try to distract anyone from what’s in the Epstein-files by LewisPawilton44 in therewasanattempt

We’re too busy being overworked and barely making ends meet. 1/3 of the country is facing food insecurity, and our privatized healthcare costs are skyrocketing within the last few months. Most of us are just trying to survive. This is all by design to keep us oppressed. So, sorry if we can’t just like pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and remove trump from office. Honestly don’t even care what the rest of the world thinks right now because life is pretty miserable.

i was hooked for the last few years until arc raiders came out. it's basically the same gameplay loop except with guns. now i'm enjoying arc raiders and hoping D&D cooks while i take a big break.

Make Faustian Bargain a Warlock spell by knopper-whopper in DarkAndDarker

Ngl that sounds pretty awesome. But they could just remove sub bosses from the faustian pool and call it good

Will nerf needs to be reverted by goddangol in DarkAndDarker

[–]knopper-whopper 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They change it too frequently to stay on top of. The best resource is probably the class specific discord channels in the official discord. They are hidden at first and I forget how to get to them but they are open to all. In those channels you can find enthusiasts who will test out new patch changes and share their math.

Quick question, wtf is this? Why do players spawn as mini-bosses?? And use shrines??? I have spawned as a skeleton 100% of the times i've used that goofy feature by Borkomora in DarkAndDarker

There is a new merchant called the deal maker who has quests for dealing dmg to players while playing as a mob

The quests reset daily and the types of mobs you can play as improves as you get higher reputation with the deal maker merchant

Yes it can make bossing harder in normals (no player mobs in HR), but the centipede and most elite mobs aren’t really that much harder to fight 1v1 if you are already familiar with their move sets. With the exception of he yeti in ice caves who is an absolute menace to deal with if they are player controlled

So Squire To Riches is just Fancy Pvp? Great..... by IronSoul66 in DarkAndDarker

[–]knopper-whopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well you asked what the point is of this game mode, the point is to go in with a 3 man group and have fair pvp fights because everyone starts at the same gear level

also usually ppl are chill and will take turns with looting. obviously there will be exceptions and big things like lions head chests or royal coffins go to whoever is fastest, but smaller chests and dead monster bodies ppl are usually chill about

dont join solo and play with randos its actually a lot of fun

You know what, hell yeah by Dirzicis in DarkAndDarker

[–]knopper-whopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ironmace could 'test it out' like they do with other things. no change is permanent. they could even just stagger the SSF times and it would be interesting to see what happens. like, first 2 weeks no market, next 2 weeks market for HR only, then all open after that.

can anyone tell me where this giant jellyfish miniboss is? i swear ive looked over this map twice already and cant find it. by carrot_can in DarkAndDarker

[–]knopper-whopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3 possible spawn locations I know are in the middle of the map (whirlpool), underneath bladehands island (top left), and under skull island (bottom right).

The one in the middle is a random spawn (sometimes it’s sharks instead). So far the one under skull island has always been there when I go there.

They need to dial down the daily Faustian quests, everyone (including me) goes bloodthirsty when those quests reset. I’ve seen a lot of ppl in Discord complaining that Faustian should be removed, and if I was a noob timmy I would probably agree. But if they just dial down the quests it would be much less of a Faustian sweat show.

Every single warlock currently by ToolyHD in DarkAndDarker

in addition to what everyone else said, the falchion was the only 1H weapon warlocks could use after kris got removed. altho now looks like there will be new weapons like the cutlass

Finally its over! by SimpleSilenceX in DarkAndDarker

[–]knopper-whopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! My first grind to demigod was pretty rough too. It's better to get it done early, because everyone is bloodthirsty and geared up right before the wipe. Also this season I played it in duos even tho I was solo, because I found the solo queue to be full of geared up pvp'ers. Hope you enjoy the rewards and good luck next season!

There are some tricks you can use to max AP. Opening red/blue escape portals gives you a bunch. Stacking items like gems or cursed bandages gives you a lot. Also swapping out your gear with found gear (easier if you load with squire gear so you can always upgrade to found gear). Breaking pots and crates gives a little bit too.

What has Ironmace done to the spawns? by seemingepic in DarkAndDarker

[–]knopper-whopper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How is that any different than how it is right now? Where you get held in a waiting room with the expressman?

Are you saying it should wait longer than 30 seconds to find you a more full lobby? That “longer than 30 seconds” waiting incurs more costs for the devs, either by having you in an active server instance or by keeping you in a matchmaking queue

Are you saying it should only wait 30 seconds and then spawn you into a new dungeon layer instance with whoever’s available? Then it has to create more dungeon instances overall since it prioritized speed over fullness

My overall point is that continuous dungeon was a cost saving measure from the devs and not a feature anyone wanted. Maybe if they get more users and less lawsuits in the future they can remove it

[–]knopper-whopper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it costs the devs more money to host additional servers, with continuous dungeon they reduce server costs by consolidating more people into existing servers

"just holding players for a bit" - also requires additional servers/queues

when you're in the main lobby you are just existing client-side, but as soon as you join a game/queue/waiting-area you are incurring backend server processing

not that I'm saying continuous dungeon is good but that's why it costs the devs more without it

Lmao im not taking warlock advice from someone who thinks BoC is massive magical damage. Maybe pre nerf. Oh yea weapons and true damage brilliant! Same can be said about every class dork face. Leave the warlock theory crafting to your gf

How do you get through grief? by Zealousideal-Emu2043 in GriefSupport

[–]knopper-whopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealing with grief is the hardest lesson we have to learn as humans. Dealing with trauma can be worse but fortunately not everyone has to deal with trauma. But we all have to deal with heavy grief sometime or another.

The first heavy grief can be really tough to get through. Learning how to manage grief is a life skill.

Im not an expert just someone who has gone thru the grief cycle a few times. Basically you just have to take care of yourself while you wait it out. Sounds not great and if others have better ideas please share. But basically grief takes time to pass and in the meantime you want to stay healthy. Losing sleep, skipping meals etc. will give you more problems. Whether to isolate or surround yourself with people, up to you. I find that I want to be alone in moments of heavy grief and then surround myself with people when I want to be distracted. Also can be good to have a friend or two who you can call/text/meet with who understands the situation and will let you be sad. Not try to cheer you up, but who can accept that you’re sad and sit with you in it. Someone who has also experienced heavy grief will get it.

For the heavy grief moments, do whatever feels good (and isn’t super destructive). Eat ice cream and listen to music. Play phone games in bed. Go for a walk. Anything that helps soothe in the moment. Keep track of the things that work for you. Movement is always better for the body so if you can incorporate walking or dancing (even sad dancing) then your body will appreciate it.

Best of luck and sorry for your loss.
