**Early Access Hotfix #5** @everyone, We will be doing the hotfix #5 update starting at <t:1692372600>. When the patch starts, you will not be able to login to the game and players in-game will not be able to enter the matchmaking pool during this time. Players in a match or in-game will have 30 minutes to complete the match and exit safely. The servers will return to full service 2 hours after the start of the patch. **Patch Notes:** - Fixed a bug where multiple filters in the trade post could not be applied simultaneously. - Bard's score for a Good performance has been slightly lowered. - The drop rate of Lion’s Head Chest and Gold Chest has been improved. - Cave Troll Elite can now drop a Mystical Gem. - A temporary timer is displayed indicating the end of the season ranks. - Other minor fixes. Thank you for playing Dark and Darker. swordfish duelist posted:is there a current invite link to the discord? OP link expired. https://discord.gg/zBQdnevP

Update is live. Also apparently the only warlock perks that actually do anything are the heal-on-dot and thorns? Would explain a lot.

Meta really does seem to have shifted in the last two days towards "run your best kit at all times" which is probably great from a balance-testing standpoint.

drat this game is loving ridiculous. A friend saw a hole in a higher part of a wall and found a small jumping puzzle in the small library room that has a speed shrine and spider pot, and I finally had the proper time to do it due to a friendly circle. It's surprisingly hard to get the proper alignment for the final placement due to wall geometry designed to push you off. Just as the swarm was starting to close in I got the jump, found an unlocked lion's head chest, and found a (super mid rolled) purple Occultist Boots. It has to be dead simple as a Rogue with double jump. Keep them peepers peeping dungeon delvers.

Had my best night of dnd since I started in playtest 3 - made 500+ gold over three hours of raids. Went in mostly with greys and no meds to build up some gold as I'd dipped below 200 but the trio of barb/bard/ranger is very strong. Even got a sick damage roll blue double axe and a sick stat roll blue horseman's axe to drop (movement speed and armor pen). The latter's definitely going in a full build. Didn't run into any fully kitted teams ourselves though did kill a few with blues and greens - saw at least one kitted out team but we'd all died or escaped so only saw them through spectating. Only bummer of the night was not getting out with probably my most loaded trinket/gem inventory it was easily 200g. Groovelord Neato fucked around with this message at 13:08 on Aug 19, 2023 |

This was kind of a revealing thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkAndDarker/comments/15v9i9u/60_damage_reduction_needs_to_be_addressed/ I didn't realize we'd already gotten to the point that a busted class is playable and people are exploiting it. Curious how they'll respond.

Well that was fast: https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkAndDarker/comments/15vodrp/dr_and_rogues_to_see_drastic_changes_after_the/ The two most overpowered things are getting balanced next. Specifically, damage reduction and rogues.

No need to take it away entirely, but it's utterly absurd the thing doesn't have a cooldown. Around 5-7 sec should be short enough that it's actually still useful for traversal and escaping/chasing.

I fought a super sweatlord wearing fully ruby plate and purples in regular goblins. Trapped him, shot him 3 times in the head, trapped him again, shot him 3 times in the head, ended up legging it deep into the locusts to deny him my loot, because holy poo poo, that nerd had like 200 DR. He managed to one man 2 rogues, a wizard, a cleric, and me without trying hard. Methylethylaldehyde fucked around with this message at 12:38 on Aug 20, 2023 |

He managed to one man 2 rogues, a wizard, a cleric, and me without trying hard. Saw a streamer going into HR goblins and he shot a fighter who was cornered getting whacked by two goblins at least a dozen times in the head before he went down. I've only run into one team like that - most fighters even in plate I'm downing in 3 headshots with a grey horseman's and this guy still had 3/4s of his health when I died (though part of that was a cleric heal and bubble). And man the market fees add up. Decided to load my barb up with movespeed and AGI items and the set cost me a bit over 400 in prices but it cost me close to 600 with the fees. At least it got me over 300 movespeed so I can run anyone down now with my weapon away. Groovelord Neato fucked around with this message at 15:22 on Aug 20, 2023 |

Demon Of The Fall posted:It’s gonna be hard to do, but they need to take double jump away. It’s just too OP and anyone will admit it I think it's one of the most universal opinions, that double jump needs a fix. Maybe not a removal, because it is a cool ability, admittedly. But in it's current form it needs a severe balancing. Rogues and damage reduction are slated for the next balance adjustment, so maybe it'll get addressed then. I'm waiting to see. If it's not dealt with then, then I question what the gently caress they are doing for balancing. If they nail rogue and damage reduction balancing though, I think they are well on their way to having a very, very successful release and immediate post release. A game can be fun on release, but it's what you do in the next 6-12 weeks to balance things that really matter when it comes to game longevity. If I were Ironmace i'd just go in on fixing rogues, getting damage reduction balanced out, then get right into hacking and how to fix it and make it bearable. Sometimes an outright fix isn't possible, but looking at what The Cycle: Frontier did is a good start. After that, it's getting further into adjustments while starting to explore new content/classes. If they do that, goddang will they have a really good game on their hands. Like Escape from Tarkov levels. A game people still play 5 years after release that continues to dominate the space.

Anyone have any idea how many copies sold? It's hard to tell without steamcharts. But with the case getting dismissed, I imagine things are looking really good for Ironmace. It's hard to judge just off viewership numbers, but do you think they sold a million copies? If so, that's what, 35-50 million, before all taxes, fees, server fees, etc. It's gotta be enough for them to start hiring more and more developers to really push the game forward, right?

I doubt they sold 1 million. I'm hoping the balancing of DR helps some, as that was basically one of my main gripes.

No way they sold a million with the clusterfuck of the initial 3rd party store plus their early inhouse payment issues. Maybe 50k-100k copies tops, which is still impressive. Once they get back on Steam I'd expect to see their sales near instantly double. Too many people still spooked about the legal bullshit and waiting for it to get back on a "legit" platform like Steam before buying.

Holy poo poo. I'm not sure if there's anything more fun in this game than getting a perfect giant worm spawn in the Ruins, hopping down and easily killing it, and then standing behind the wall near the lever for the elevator that's the only way down into the chamber. I swear I just wasted at least 6 players whole runtime returning the lift to the top before anyone could jump down.

Barb is kind off meta at the moment, but can still kick rear end in normals. Fighter just works better as a front liner with the current itemization, but hopefully barb will be in a better place after the DR changes and hopefully some slight buffs.

I got an idea from a Twitch chat room, and the search function tells me there hasn't been a single instance of the word "bag" in this thread. You guys wanna hear my dumb idea? I've watched a little Tarkov and have seen the rabbit hole of bags in bags in backpacks in bigger backpacks, and I don't want that for this game. BUT, hear me out: What if there was a loot bag you could carry that would take up a weapon slot? Can't put it in your inventory/stash unless it's empty so it will collapse to fit. If there's anything inside of it, it's gotta be worn on your back like your secondary weapon. A sort of compromise to either carry more loot out of the dungeon, or maybe to salvage your friends' gear after a disaster? Maybe it would be too much of an economic advantage for classes like rogue that can just run naked with a single dagger, but now leave with ~20% more loot? Dark & Darker X Payday 2? I'm picturing a team of 3 rogues in clown masks tossing duffel bags like a bucket brigade, so maybe this is a bad idea.

If implemented, that sort of additional storage container should be very heavily restricted in what it can carry. Either go the "equipment only" route, specifically to enable collection of dead friends' gear, or the "treasure only" route (something like 1x1 or 1x2 / 2x1 "treasure" tagged items only? and you would have to "use" it by dropping it on the floor and openining it like a chest to view what's inside of it while still in the dungeon). Could be interesting. Could also double-down the ability of teleporting hackers to vacuum loot absolutely everything on the map or instakill/instaloot full sets of gear in highroller.
