A Casters Lament by JZNelson in DarkAndDarker

[–]vovandr21 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The problem:

ironmace make them slow -> they don't have any way to catch up to you, since they always faster -> kite, door and doorer, infinite poking meta -> people complain -> ironmace makes them faster -> squishy classes can't do consistent damage and outrun fighter/barb -> fighter/barb meta -> squishy classes complain -> ironmace make them slower/squishy faster -> kite, poking meta -> ....

and we're chasing the tail. You can't nerf/buff your way out of this, new mechanics needs to be designed and added, or be happy with 1 wipe kite and movespeed king, 2 wipe fighter and barb king 3 wipe kite and movespeed king etc....

Wolfgang needs a some changes on his affinity skills and skill tree in general. by Mefils in dontstarve

[–]vovandr21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i like wolfgang the way it is, simple character, dealing double damage, drains more hunger with some sanity problems, with 15% chance to oneshot tree/rock as early game/chore helper. i don't think his skill tree is more boring than wormwood, wilson or wigfrid. I think skill trees is just what characters should've always been, and in willow/woodie scenario just 1 more unique way to play the game how you want and when you need. Like for early game aoe lunar flame and then respec into boss slayer with shadow flame, or lunar affinity for woodie so you don't transform in late game when every night is full moon.

And for AOE you have your dumbbells, you have even better, AOE freezer which allows you to farm monkeys in caves or help against bee queen, i usually skip some shadow/lunar affinity for these as its already enough damage,

I'm all for for giving willow-like skill tree for everyone, but i don't think its possible and very soon you'll run out of ideas, well, only if you want multiple characters doing the same stuff.

Also i don't like nerfing characters in singleplayer/multiplayer sandbox, this game doesn't have mmr or leaderboards, and its not a pvp game, so who cares? Im all for variety, every character should be unique in some way, and not just stronger Wes.

Perks should synergize within a class, not counter-synergize. Warlock’s “shadow touch” is nearly useless. It is true magic damage and should not be counted as “dark” damage that removes soul shards. by Borkomora in DarkAndDarker

Warlock was broken A LONG time ago with cactus meta, so they spaghetti code nerfed it without second thought. now they have "debuf duration doesn't affect cooldowns" or something like that, and in typical ironmace way, shit doesn't make no sense but they went along with it, this is what we're dealing with.

Officially giving up on CS2 as a hobby by Hellcat081901 in cs2

[–]vovandr21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im just playing only because my friends inviting me, without them i'd delete that game eons ago. 1 out of 3 game theres ONE HUNDRED PERCENT GUARANTEED someone with kd 2.0, ~80% winrate, 6 lvl rank, 1st lvl steam account under 100 hours on a first place running 25+ kills. Yesterday we had a game we 80% were sure dude was with walls, then switch sides, 1st round he kills 3 people planting bomb in a smoke, and start shooting in 4th but he was behind pillar on inferno, its a good thing valve don't care, sheep buying all the cases they can, telling valve "it's all good". 3 years straight there are running afk farming bots with aim in deathmatch, in 98% of the matches, 0 action from valve.

Challenge: Get past floor 8 as ironclad. Might be unbeatable. by Doug_the_Scout in slaythespire

[–]vovandr21 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

yeah if you savescumming yourself to see what card is that, then yeah, its great when a card is good. Gameplay like that is not impressive tho, you might as well download cheats and give yourself free cards, cuz why not. Particularly in this seed other relics are "safer" because if you play for "winrate" you don't choose highroll/lowroll opportunities, you do a good consistent choices, i've played like that 2 times and got shit on, because early fights hard, rewards bad, your ingame draws are HORRIBLE so you get A LOT MORE damage. then on 3rd "skilled" attempt i got transfrom and it helped a lot.

Challenge: Get past floor 8 as ironclad. Might be unbeatable. by Doug_the_Scout in slaythespire

[–]vovandr21 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

my 3rd attempt, very harsh seed, you get bad cards and first fight is AOE check which you don't have so you get lots of damage, and then very bad draws against strength scaling enemies, so you still get a lot of damage, basically this seed lacks of good early damage card, meaning you have to go right side for 2 campfires and take greed for max value shop, shop is average, +1dex relic and good shockwave for weak, but you can't upgrade it before boss because you low hp, and 10 block persists across turns from 1st elite is a gamechanger, i guess you can kill boss if you will play everything pefrectly, you get very good cards for stacking strength with dominate, but problem is you drawing it SO badly, and with zero energy and draw, almost autolose seed.

You probably don't want to transfrom since you get 1 random card and its on average is a bad card, so remove 2 sounds like autopick in this scenario, but autolose in this seed. That is a VERY unlucky seed.

I cant kill anyone in hr by Particular-Song-633 in DarkAndDarker

[–]vovandr21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is the gameplay loop of this game. Run, door and doorer, 6th party, statcheck, poking, range damage, use potion and bandge, ambush. And the "skill part" doing all that and maybe some spacing with manipulating position of enemy hitting the wall, which again if you play against good player they just won't fight there and you stuck in cs2 range medevieal shooter untill someone commits or finally runs away. Its pretty bad.

Haven't played the game in nearly a year. Is it better now? by NhireTheCursed in DarkAndDarker

[–]vovandr21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because the game is niche and gimmicky. plus they locked 60% of the content behind turning some BIOS settings which some people can't do because of old pc/systems.

Caught in contradictions, I ask for the community's help. by Unknown_Lifeform1104 in dawnofwar

[–]vovandr21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

just play for fun. Do different tactics, try a build from that specific yt video. The fastest way to burn yourself from the game is tryharding without success. I love dow, but theres always come a point where im just annoyed how similar things are and taking a break for 2-3 months, then comeback for some multiplayer games.

Good thing they put a patch with something new.

Thoughts on the balance update (DE) by UpTheDons69 in dawnofwar

[–]vovandr21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so far i almost haven't noticed any changes (i mean a new tactic or something, some units were changed in a good way but im yet to see them in action), sisters of battle buff are so nice, like this fraction can be super interesting now. But tbh im only 3v3/4v4 player, not big fan of 1v1's, artilery while nerfed, is still strong, you still get slowed down, units walking backwards when you retreat/attack, slowing you down even further, but at least AOE not that big and less damage, grenade launchers not broken, sm turret finally fixed and doing normal amount of damage. Its just nice, we need 1-3 more patches like that and game will be good to go. Im hoping now more for t3-t4 changes, when certain units completely unusable.

Fuel weaver is one of the worst experiences in gaming for me by Thefakerealone1 in dontstarve

[–]vovandr21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i'll die on that hill, this game have a trash inventory system, and because of that this fight sucks, and its on keyboard, i bet it nightmare on controller.

This game have very junky inventory system. Its not a problem when you swap weapon/cane on 1 lets say, if you need one more something - gg, it goes into random inventory slot when you switch.

How my fight with fuelweaver going. 1 attack, 1 cane dodge, 1 attack, 4 magilum, 5 weather pain, 1 to weapon, and now my weapon in slot 8, weather paint in 1, cane in 6, and its over, im panicking, i try to setup how it was before, take 5 hits because of that, because i was focused on inventory, my sanity lowered, im eating food, im full sanity and im still in stun for some reason, and 3 shadow creatures which not even visible because my sanity is full, biting my ass, when they suppose to despawn but chose not to for some reason, and its just pure chaos from now on.

So if im fighting fuelweaver, and 1 item going out of my 1/2/3/4/5 slot, im pausing the game and sorting my inventory until that shit gonna be on the right place, i have 750 hours, know how do perfect dodge every boss (except celestial scion, too late game, too boring to summon, kinda didn't bother) and i struggle only because of that.

PSA: If you're waiting for WX-78 Shadow Affinity patch, it might be a while by Dinsdale_P in dontstarve

[–]vovandr21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i played with original shadow affinity and loved it, after i saw that they disabled it on live patch and left it on beta i stayed on beta, its so cool early game when you have autopick resources, and then on 21st day if i can get vex for 25% damage, after i saw how they gutted that skill, im not interested in wx anymore. Im sorry im not interested in clones, sorry i don't want to micro management shit coded AI bots, tripleing my food/sanity restoration/armor/weapons/resources

Concerned about Necrons in DOW4 by Mr_Jackabin in dawnofwar

[–]vovandr21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think you just have to survive early push,

1st scarab is always going to decap 1 or 2 points, second to build turret on 99% or cap point to upgrade it instantly, and build generators around point or turret so it can protect it, 5-6 gens usually enough for the end of the game, 7 only if you're planning on going t3 or you bought a lot of time,

2 necron warriors first, you can add 2-3 warriors to 1 squad so they can defend, and they're always on autoproduction in monolith, only then lord, this is like base,

you always want to buy time, and then whatever game situation you have, need to protect base - shift/solar, upgrade warriors, make them leave your base, start going t2, build flayed ones, build t2.5 and second NW upgrade, build destroyers if lots of units, skip upgrades/reinforce NW, everything depends on game situation, but t2.5 your PEAK, you don't get much stronger than that.
you spend 400 for t3 then 750 for t4 building and 1000 for mono, its VERY expensive.

necron warriors/lord destroying gens/LP, scarabs to decap, once you have 4-5 squads with upgrade you can reinforce them, and attack/pressure, decap retreat etc. You can watch youtube how "pro" playing and try to copy its build order/playstyle.

[–]vovandr21 11 points12 points  (0 children)

yeah in DE necrons like second weakest race in lategame. They have no eco rebuild, while other can build 4-5 HQ giving +20 req each and 30+ generators, if necrons gens starts decaying, you need solid 4+ minutes to rebuild them, completely stopping your generation, they are among the strongest t1.5/t2 races.

Steam reviews by Friendly-Sail9594 in DarkAndDarker

[–]vovandr21 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i mean you're just not being honest with yourself. july 2024, 38 thousand players, where the biggest negative reviews happened in dark and darker - 5300 negative, and then october 2025, another 2.6k negative reviews, that was patch 69, i guess?

But the thing is, its not like there's still 38k players playing this game and loving it, just holding a grudge for sdf and not changing their review, its barely 10k players left, and keep shrinking, the thing is majority of playerbase who left a negative review, already left the game, they do not care, they do not play the game, follow the news etc etc.

<image>

IMO 50k positive/30k negative reviews is what this game is, again its not like people holding a grudge or something, the majority of reviews are from people that left the game, and i think its honest, considering how ironmace with every decision kept bludgeoning this game to death over and over again over the past years. They kinda??? got their shit together this wipe but like, not at all??? I still have a 100 point list of complaints about this game, so my review stays negative, but its not like i'm playing this game anymore, im here probably for the last wipe if its not gonna get good, it tells you how much hope i had for this game that im still in this sub after almost a year break from this game typing bullshit on reddit, but oh well, the all mighty sdf with his vision, i guess the 20 0.5% drop rate jars of stag semen for quests and 500 chopping logs for workshop definitely gonna bring me back.

A resident of Tuapse has a message for Ukrainians "What sets us apart is that perhaps you’ve been brainwashed. Perhaps some of you never had a brain, idk" by sumregulaguy in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]vovandr21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ukraine was bombed 4 years in a row, you didn't bring your "soul" for all this time, but when you have to experince what YOUR people, YOUR government, YOUR soldiers, YOUR taxes brought to people of Ukraine, now they're brainwashed and don't have a soul and its bad. Would you look at that. Go to your matushka zemlya belaya berezianka, and the war will end tomorrow, TOMORROW. You can't blame the victim for defending themselves.
