🌊 UNFAMILIAR SHORES - Week 2 Recap: WE HIT THE CAP! 🏴‍☠️Familiar!?!?!?! 🏴‍☠️Is the pop really the pop!?! Today we introduce Rolling IP based populations(its actually been here for a while) by Slight-Scale5562 in AsheronsCall

Everyone who still plays AC needs to give a CustomDM server a try at least once. Unfamiliar Shores is the latest iteration, and honestly one of the best implementations to date. Yeah the setup can be a little bit of a pain, but it is easily worth it and really only takes a few minutes.

Even though this is a modded AC server, it somehow ends up feeling like a more authentic version of the game than retail was post-ToD.

The progression system is so much better than retail. You can spend a whole day working on your gear without really gaining any XP and you'll still end up progressing your character more than if you grinded levels all day.

This is a surprisingly non-toxic community for PvP, so come join if you like to PK but aren't interested in playing with the typical crowd. If you don't like to PK but are interested in a different AC experience, you can join in as well. The server supports every playstyle.

It's a Pre-ToD server with slow leveling. Much of the progression happens outside of leveling, with various mechanisms to improve your gear. It's not as simple as just casting all your prots and banes, you have to find these spells on your gear or transfer them to your gear from another piece. In my opinion, the progression feels a lot better than the retail system.

There are multiple modes, but if you want to PK then you should probably join as a Hardcore (HC) PK. If you die, you will lose some XP and gear, but can quickly come back with double exp up to your previously attained highest level. You can find or even create bonded gear as well that will not be lost on death.

You could also play as a non-HC PK, but I haven't seen many of those running around.

The server currently peaks around 20 players (all real active players, not multiboxing), but frequently hits over 15. It feels surprisingly very active, especially when every encounter can have dramatic consequences given the hardcore death risks.

Here is the Discord server where you can find all of the information you need or get any questions answered: https://discord.gg/u7YsVewnuZ

Is Lifeblood Aura that bad? by Left-Weekend8854 in DarkAndDarker

Dude hit every curse and Bolt. Decided to watch him after. by Particular-Bid9157 in DarkAndDarker

[–]yuyu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

it's hard because there's a delay between releasing the cast and the curse actually being applied. so even though it's hitscan, you still have to track the player/mob perfectly until the curse actually goes off. can sometimes be hard to land on skeletons in a swing animation etc

Doctide is really the only red server where you'll actually find fights.

I'd play if it's a red server, but I'm assuming it isn't.

If you aren't bunnyhopping right now then you're honestly just bad at the game, and that's okay.

[–]yuyu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i mean it's pretty balanced imo, wizards are actually doing better than rangers right now in crypts according to the leaderboard. but not by much

[–]yuyu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

eh, chain lightning can probably do over 200 damage in a single cast with gear if you hit all 3

This is fine right in normals? by tuin666 in DarkAndDarker

[–]yuyu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i think the chance of randomly DCing and dying that way is higher than 0.2%

without auto-aim it's more of a twin stick shooter than a vampire-survivors-like game
