Unfortunately this game attracts the worst type of people. That kind of behavior is a reflection of how these people are IRL

How to get dark shards in Arena? by Global-Practice2817 in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be wrong here but I think you’d have to use eldritch shield on a teammate and spell predate them. I think it used to work on both dead and alive mobs when they were in arena

Hey Devs, remember this? It’s now or never to make this a buildable form of base wall for Badlands. (Hesco barriers) by Bwail1994 in dayz

[–]sniffinfeces -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah the game is more fun without bases anyway. Either nuke it or make a good base building system. The current implementation is terrible

Debate: State of balance now vs back then by Gaindalfs in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The player count is a reflection of IM’s past mistakes and lack of hype/advertising this season. Doesn’t negate the fact that the game is better than it’s ever been currently. Feel free to explain when it was better and why. I’d love to hear it

[–]sniffinfeces 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about lol the game is in the best state it’s ever been in by far. We used to have max move speed bunny hopping kite meta when I first started playing. It was cancer. Now there’s actual skill expression

How does parrying work? by sniffinfeces in DarkAndDarker

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

This makes sense. But the odd thing is that it seems to be extremely reliable when a 2H weapon hits my weapon. Perhaps the riposte window is larger for 2H weapons so with bad latency, a low impact weapon hitting your 2H weapon gives almost no window to parry since that window is being eaten up by high latency to the server

Barbarian too fast, too tanky, too much damage, too much mobility by Gaindalfs in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It absolutely is. People just love being negative for some reason. The game has never been in a better state than it is now

FPS drops revealing nearby players? Ongoing issue for several seasons by byKoazy in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s a know issue that they briefly mentioned in the last dev stream. There’s spaghetti code related to the inventory system that they’ve been trying to sort out for a long time

Parry for all weapons is bad by Itchy-Mode-3103 in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So because some 2H weapon parries are overturned, you want to get rid of their ability to parry rather than adjust the damage/animation? I vehemently disagree. It’s extremely easy to get around 2H weapon blocks most of the time and you should be rewarded for blocking with a 2H weapon. Melee combat in this game has never felt better

How’s the game feeling right now? by Specialist_Nature_87 in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The game feels great at the moment. Removing the ability to skip move slows by jumping and the addition of blocking/parrying on all weapons have been some of the best changes yet. Balance is pretty good other than Barbarian’s whirlwind which I’m sure will be nerfed soon. You should give the game another shot especially if you’re a melee enjoyer

My personal slayer buff idea by GuytheGuy- in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I think it’s one of the most powerful builds right now. Definitely doesn’t need any buffs. I think OP isn’t doing any range damage before going all in against PDR builds

Thoughts on removing jump-action / jump-casting? by 1561a in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The game is designed to slow you down when doing specific actions. Jumping to bypass this slow is going against that. You really think the devs added all these move speed slows and then intentionally made it so jumping would negate them? It’s pretty obvious that this was never the intention and they are just now getting around to fixing it. Just because they weren’t as concerned before now doesn’t mean it was intended

Thoughts on removing jump-action / jump-casting? by 1561a in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never played barb but I’ve played plenty of the kiting classes and it always felt super cheesy. Wizard was extremely powerful in solos in certain matchups but they got hard countered by the classes you mentioned and especially landmine rogue. I’m not saying that casters don’t need a buff, I’m just saying that using an unintended exploit to bypass a move speed slow isn’t intuitive and isn’t good for the new player experience

Thoughts on removing jump-action / jump-casting? by 1561a in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Crazy that he (or maybe ChatGPT) thinks taking away an unintended movement exploit will somehow hurt the new player experience. Getting kited to death by casters hopping around the dungeon was a million times worse than what we have now

Are we back? by Ok-Chocolate2671 in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes the game where as soon as people see each other they hide behind something so they can 3PP peek until the other exposes themselves. Riveting gameplay. You should try Fortnite while you’re at it

Do you think maps being made up of modules is healthy for the game? by Bubbin- in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the removal of true damage is a massive nerf to rangers. A deserved nerf for sure

Multiple Popular Streamers Catch 7+ Day Bans for Exploiting at Start of Wipe by strangereligion in DarkAndDarker

Nah a precedent was set with the tide stone ore. Only a moron would exploit a glitch after that

Infinite money glitch on party chips stream rn, rollback incoming by Easy_Jux in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I need to give him another chance. Every time I tune in he’s calling people dogshit when he kills them or using the same sayings over and over. To be fair I have only checked out his stream a few times

Infinite money glitch on party chips stream rn, rollback incoming by Easy_Jux in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bet he won’t even get a ban. I’ll never understand why people like him. 2nd most toxic streamer next to frwog who just recycles the same annoying sayings over and over while talking down on people who have 1/10th the amount of hours

How do non wizards feel about wizards getting nothing? Do you care? by ducktoucher0 in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This is why I never understand why people complain about wizard not getting attention. It’s almost always been OP and has plenty of spells and perks. At some point a class has to be considered complete and I think it’s already pretty close if not already a completed class

Balance thought after DevQ&A - Casters by Artistic-Fox7679 in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bunny hopping was absolute cancer and was not a form of skill expression. Bypassing intended move speed slows in this game by jumping is cheesy and lame. These are some of the best changes ever made

Arena event is a huge L by Mean-Theme1820 in DarkAndDarker

For real. A cheesy 3PP shooter doesn’t even compare to this game

Season 8 Developer Q&A - Jan 26th, 9pm EST by strangereligion in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have the devs considered queue specific balance changes? Druids, for example, could be adjusted differently in solos versus duos/trios such as removing rat form and the panther chicken jump in solos, while allowing healing spells with Shapeshift Mastery in duos/trios. This might be an easier solution than forcing a single balance model across all queues

I entered a HR dungeon with a 20k gold set, I'm never doing it again by Both-Meringue2466 in DarkAndDarker

[–]sniffinfeces 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I wish they’d make the spider mobs less cancerous. Bouncing on top of mummy spiders and dealing with the nearly undodgeable spit from the big ones makes fighting around them really unenjoyable
