Getting some levels and one or two perks will really help, also getting a diff weapon than whatever you start with is huge for damage. Like switching to even a white sword or whatever will double your damage from the starting weapon.

I said come in! posted:

If you die, you will always go back into matches with default gear right? I picked up a blue quality sword in one match but lost it after dying.

yup, so its also helpful to collect as many trinkets as possible to escape with, sell those for gold, and stock up on white/green gear from the vendors once you start surviving more so you can go in with some strength

I saw a wizard coming my way who didn't see me. I put a trap down right next to a wall spike and turned out the lights. A minute later I saw the message of them dying to a wall spike in the kill feed.

I knew full well that I wouldn't even be able to loot them with how the zone was closing.

I still feel kind of bad about it a couple of days later.

was duoing with a rogue goon yesterday and baited another wizard into a room as a fighter. the rogue was stealthed next to the door and popped out behind him to two shot him. those kills really make the game shine

Was mainly a fighter this play test and really like them, I’ll do another next time but also looking forward to really trying a rogue and a ranger, both seem extremely apt for solo bullshittery. Didn’t have much time to level both up to really play around with the perks.

Yeah, for sure. This game hit me at the right time and literally I don’t want to play anything else. It all rings so hollow.

next playtest I'm probably gonna make a rogue because I feel being super speedy and picking perks like smoke bomb and caltrops will basically make me impossible to catch and kill. I can just go in with picklock and grab some fancy chests and run away from other players and just loot loot loot

There’s a dev q&a on discord happening now, a few highlights about upcoming stuff:

* B1 will be called Ruin
* All 3 floors will be included in the next play test
* no quests yet
* early access soon after next PT
* similar monsters in B1 that we saw in B2
* eventually map enemy spawns could be randomized instead of preset
* more fun stuff for rogues/poisons(later), wizard tweaks
* new anti cheating stuff being implemented
* no Bard this PT
* plans to continually add more dungeon maps
* more environmental traps/pitfalls for players
* periodic wipes
* players could be different races, like dwarves

Appears the main focus for the next PT will be testing the new first level and seeing how they all interact with each other

Giving rangers arrows they gotta carry in is a fair change imo. If other classes have limited spells they shouldn’t have unlimited ammo. Still gonna make one next pt

I really hope the term "compulsory investigation" I keep seeing means whatever this is is minor, and won't cause the game to loving die.

edit: who the hell knows, hopefully not a Baghdad Bob situation:

Also there's variations of the main dungeon map???

lol something I noticed from watching lots of videos is that a lot of people were playing this game completely differently than I was

and yes there are 4 different normal dungeons maps and then 3 highroller ones?

I hope the devs of this game aren't dumb enough to steal code and poo poo that could be easily traced back to them. they have always been pretty adamant that all this is very spurious and there is no basis for concern. they could but full of poo poo so who knows. hopefully we have some answers soon.

the more I read the more I feel Ironmace is gonna be alright, and I hope this gets resolved quickly

what I find interesting is watching the official discord and all the accounts coming in to defend Nexon, its really funny. Did they pay bots to come in and defend them? I've never seen that happen before with a game. Lots of disinformation and backstabbing.

Ah right, I forgot that 'explaining is condoning'. I'm not explaining this to show that I like that Nexon is potentially in the right and I am rooting for their victory.

Just that uhh, people are going to be super shocked and confused if Nexon wins if they only hear Ironmace's side of the story.

Edit: Also it loving sucks when the big evil megacorps get to appear to be genuinely right for once. Like Koreans are actually siding with Nexon and that's the worst.
