Brazilian server still holding strong. Hopefully the rest of them come up soon and Ironmace manages to stabilize them or buy more, because I'm having a blast.

We were only able to join Brazil for one round. Then rebooted with Steam turned off. East coast worked flawlessly then for our group.

It is by weed alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the dank of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, stains become a warning. It is by weed alone I set my mind in motion.
Yeah East Coast was fine for me for two games now, pings were fine from the west coast fwiw

East Coast has been fine for me too, now, so it appears to be back up. And when the servers are running great, this game is amazing. Having a blast. Just gotta find the right people. When you get dummies and people that don't talk or try and Rambo the match, you don't have fun.

Totally agreed that the speculation on how this'll affect Korean players is intriguing. Because since it's a magnet link, they can play. Anyone here Korean or living in Korea?

It's fun, but yea, not good. It's C-tier. But the mechanic is fine, which was the most worrying part about the class. But all their stats, perks, songs, etc, need tweaking. And they need more selection of songs. Just 4 sucks.

Bard is definitely unfinished. There's zero purpose in equipping both of the songbooks since only 4 are available currently. You need to be able to queue up songs or extend them for like another half the duration by continuing to play - having the chaos song end after most things take one swipe at each other is lame. Hilarious in the goblin cave elite skeleton room though.

The secret to bard is you only need to have the song be doing some level of "well" at the end, so if you spam play until the last few notes (how many will depend on the song) and hit them perfectly, you can significantly speed up your playing so the uptime percent is way higher

On your minimap you'll see an iron of red stairs, thats how you progress down. It's a gate with a red aura, sparkles in front, but it doesn't open until like 1:30 left on the map. You sometimes have to run through the closed circle and the locusts to get to it. But that's how you go down.

Apparently Discord doesn't allow Torrents, so the torrent link can now be found on their Twitter...until Twitter doesn't allow Torrents.

This playtest is fun but holy poo poo its like patching together a quilt to be able to play it.

I played. I had fun. My non-goon internet friend didn't want to form a cohesive group, so we rolled CLE, BRD WIZ for a few hours. Bard is good cookie dough, but needs more time to bake.

Did some goblin caves and exited 3/6 times as a CLE. Good times. I got really bad this game and it feels like the mobs do a poo poo ton more damage.

Looking forward to getting my identity stolen from :filez:. :mrwhite:

It feels way worse optimized than the last test, which is unfortunate. I've had to crank my settings down to medium across the board to maintain a solid 144fps when they were mostly high the last time.

They also definitely beefed up mob damage, added more moveset options and seemingly better AI when it's not just straight up broken/inactive.

most important tip in pve melee for those struggling:

hit the mob, then evade the swings by turning 90 degrees and strafing away which is a lot faster than holding back.

I tried this and it is so funny that this works, it feels like you're air surfing in a Source game if you jump and do it. Just pick the guy that can double jump and cut and run!

Servers seem hosed tonight. Not sure if they're getting ddos'd or if something poo poo the bed. Supposedly there's also a memory leak in the client. Playtest 5 is a lot less polished than playtest 4.

Yet I crave more.

I think Nexon DMCA'd their server host.. if they DMCA'd a random tweet to get the playtest removed and sued them I'm sure they would do more.

Unconvinced by this guy so far. He's just reading off Nexon's complaint without any critical analysis.

I did note that Nexon is alleging that internal playtesting they did of P3 concepts and game design are stolen 'trade secrets', which, lol. I guess its better than trying to prove Unreal engine files are stolen.

Stuff like doing testing allowed them to figure out how to 'attract players with an interesting storyline' or 'finetune high-quality graphics' are especially laughable, considering DaD's complete lack of the former and just...how fine tuning graphics works. Might not be laughable to a fuddy-duffy judge though.

It almost doesn't matter how strong Nexon's case is if IM is going to do dumbass poo poo like trying to circumvent a DMCA claim with torrents. They'll just continually shoot themselves in the foot all the way to court.

DMCA notices can (and should) be counterclaimed which should result in the link/page/whatever in question being reinstated and the claimant notified their next steps are to pursue actual legal action if the claim was valid to begin with.

Anyway, it seems like their login servers are hosed. Installed the hotfix when the login screen kept resetting me, and after installing the hotfix it still happens, even with steam shut down.

having just just finished a session of dipping back into mordhau dealing with absolutely unreadable animations where high level players look like they're sweeping the ground with a sword or twisting themselves into a pretzel and somehow instantly killing me in the process, this is actually a little relieving to hear. i haven't even encountered a player yet, just getting backed into corners and dying when more than one gobbo aggros me at once. fighting monsters feels really shallow but maybe it's just my lack of experience

For all we know they have already counterclaimed and twitter/etc are just dragging their feet on restoring the removed items for whatever reason. Maybe their lawyers are drinking buddies with nexon lawyers, who knows.

IP law is an utter clusterfuck of cancerous bullshit, and every platform handles it differently because there's no incentive for them to make any process but the issuing of claims efficient. Hence every platform has auto-takedowns in place for claims, but manual counterclaim processing.
