i use a rage on hit and rage when hit jewel on my invoker. It is stupidly good

You are right with most things and it is clear that Narc has no clue about actual game dev

To make an open development and expect that the people playing the game do it from a developer point of view is so naive is dumb.

As a programmer, not in game dev but in web, I can tell you we do not think things are easier then they turn out to be. We usually give estimations to features with a generous margin for error and with solution principles in mind, because we need to manage resources. In principle everything is possible depending on how much money and time you push into it. What can happen is that things or concepts get changed during development, which will no longer work with the architecture you initially planned. So having a road map planed out early on helps to estimate any given feature, because we can keep those other features in mind while developing the architecture. If this is not the case in your work environment, we are not talking about experienced programmers. Of course there will always be errors and changes you can't predict and won't predict. But i think we are talking on different levels of failure here. Sure, you will always first work on systems and the backend, before you implement something to look shiny. But what usually should not happen is that a feature is presented as high fidelity as it has been in AoC and then not delivering at all on it. If you push something like that into an alpha you make it crystal clear to the customer what the current issues are and that this is currently just a proof of concept to test backend processes. Usually end consumers don't understand or appreciate this kind of testing on the customer, so i would never recommend doing this at larger scale unless you previously made clear, that what you showed is just a high fidelity teaser to give an idea of what it could look like and that the alpha will not include such high fidelity since there are still systems being tested. As far as i can remember this did not happen. People expected the high fidelity showcase and got the barebone systems test instead without it being communicated. This should just not happen. With web we for example work on multiple feature branches that are developed on developer machines. If those features are split correctly they come down to only a small amount of work for each feature or subfeature. Those go into review and testing on a staging environment and when they are looked over by QA and not bounced, they go into production. If your programmer did well, they encapsulated their module so it doesn't interferes with existing code. If two different modules use the same utility set or inheritance and thad changed, it should have been either captured by QA or by automated tests if possible. You don't just promisse a feature with a high fidelity showcase, if you don't know that you can deliver. This is then a case of over promise and under deliver. "This is how it works" is not a good excuse, cause this is not how it should work. Steven should stick to what he can show and deliver. We have seen before with hello games what can happen if you do that kind of stuff. At least they delivered on their promisses in the long run.

RIP AoC Garbage woke game died before it even released

I think the problem is how they monetized the game and what expectation that brings.

So why not steven just say game us 10yrs away from being complete?

I only really disagree that he misunderstands. I think he is aware of all of this and choosing to feign outrage for content. I don't believe he's really mad, I think the character he plays on TH-cam is mad and he is leaning into it as a result of increased viewership.

It makes sense that programmers think things will be easier than normal, because in the realm of programming a simple task that has to be done 10,000 times can be done instantly as long as you know all the parameters of how it has to be done. That can be set up in 2 lines of code, over the course of about 8 seconds of work. When you're asking a programmer for an assessment of difficulty you're asking them to guess how quickly they can write a poem that perfectly encapsulates this set of five concepts. Poems can sometimes encapsulate all five concepts in just one haiku! And sometimes it'll take a sonnet. And sometimes an epic. But they won't know which one until they start writing, and they are NOT incentivized to highball their guess.

It is ok that you have versions and different parts etc. but we would not expect that there is no better version of it after two years. It does not have to be the same as it was in the showcase. It is irrelevant how source control works and how they iterate.

Hi random nobody, what have you worked on?

What games have you previously worked on?

I enjoyed this explanation of how things are done, you should certainly do more ashes content

Thanks homie

Your not goth stop claiming our badge because you think you’re cool.

Brings a whole new meaning to making out

Looks like a tendril of some type came up from the ground

Can I join the discord without joining Patreon? The discord link expired.

“is it dark and darker” that’s why i’m here haha XD

I wanted to test it but was hesitant on the torrent since i've had some experiences back in the day with limewire lmfao. Can't wait to be able to play this and support them. Down goes nexon!

I believe in you

duddddeeeee yeeeahhhhh

LOL beautiful, we gotta do this again

Hey!! I just found your channel today, great video. I'd love to play the game once its out and ready, I don't have much to offer apart from opinion and I would say this game looks great so far :). Keep on going!!

It seems like the NPCs make up the majority of what you come across and i hope they flesh this idea out into a final product over their development

Link didn't work.

The way I interpreted the way the Bard will play is that you will have a class specific instrument/weapon (Like a bow for a Ranger) Perhaps at a later time they will make the "music playing" more complex, but I highly doubt that'll be the case in it's first introduction. I believe it will fit into the current spell casting systems that we currently have, like how a Cleric's effectiveness is a result of how/when they choose to cast certain spells. Each spell would likely be a 'note' spell that can be stringed together with other spells to result in buffs or debuffs. I enjoyed watching and hearing your perspective about potential playstyle, stats and perks/abilities could be! Definitely one of the most creative and interesting videos I've seen.

i appreciate you putting an honest and informative title, ive seen so many click bait titles like "NEXON JUST KILLED DARK AND DARKER" and "THE END OF IRONMACE" its honestly disgusting that some youtubers are preying on this emotional moment for everyone just to get a few more clicks and views.

as for the DMCA - Just google Steam DMCA - literally anyone can fill one out and it takes less than 15 mins, less than a page of info is required. Again, this is filled out by NEXON and it has 0 legal weight, its not issued by a court. It doesnt even need to be filled out by a lawyer. The DMCA can be counterclaimed and the game can be reinstated - the defendant simply has to provide a counter claim.

A cease and desist letter does not automatically signify a lawsuit. It is a warning that if illegal behavior does not stop there could be further penalties. What Is a Cease and Desist Letter? A cease and desist letter is an official warning about illegal behavior that lets you know further penalties could follow if the behavior, such as patent infringement, doesn't stop. It does not automatically lead to a lawsuit. A cease and desist order is different from a cease and desist letter. The main difference lies in their legality. Letters have almost no legal standing. Orders do. A cease and desist order is granted by a court, and it serves as a temporary injunction. The party that receives the order must stop what they're doing until a trial can be held. After the trial, a permanent injunction may be ordered. They have only been issued a Letter and not an Order - There is literally 0 legal weight to their claims. Even if we get to the Order stage, that doesnt prove anything (although it will mean delays until trial is held) - in this current state there may not even be delays. Maybe thats wishful thinking, but as of now there is 0 legal evidence or weight to anything Nexon has done. They are simply trying to scare IronMace with threats of legal action. Key difference is that a LETTER just means a COMPANY (Nexon) OR A LAWYER has issued a cease an desist - an ORDER means that a COURT has issued it. Lawyers will take money and write a letter for any or no reason at all. Until the court speaks, nothing has any weight, its just empty bluffs from a lawyer taking a paycheck. or a company shooting their shot in the dark (and darker)

hope Nexon get Grape... a stupid opportunist...

Whatever new video editing software you are using, keep using it. This has been one of your smoother vids!

Hope a more stable mod team creates a separate sub reddit and manages to move the community away from that loser mod.

You chillin bro don't worry too much about overzealous admins boss

Your first issue was using reddit

just a heads up, the link to your discord in the description and on your patreon both say invalid link

Also I remember when the sub had a rule banning any discussion of a solo queue. Yet somehow a post AGAINST solo queue was allowed to stay up and even become the top post on the sub. How times have changed. Finally, I was banned from the Discord for supposedly "copy paste spamming". There were some waves of copy pasta but I never posted it myself and just got banned I guess by someone who was probably just spam banning every message during a wave and I got caught up in it. Never had such goofy mod experiences before.

You actually put Paul Blart, im dead lmao 🤣 💀 - unfortunately reddit mods abusing their powers is a tale as old as time. I wish I had more solutions, but all I can do is offer my condolences, and I hope it somehow gets sorted out. How come the other friendly helpful mod wasn't able to help you?

I think it's notable that DryF1re, the mod who has the top 2 pinned posts on the subreddit, posts his own TH-cam videos to the sub and has a link to his channel on his profile. It doesn't take a big brain to imagine why someone like that might abuse their power to stifle other small creators on the subreddit. Makes me wish we could see who exactly you're interacting with from the mod team instead of it just being "r/DarkandDarker".

Yeah that mod is trippin! keep up the good work my mang!

Underated youtuber for sure, Keep it up man

this all sounds so cool!

Good video, nice team

With freed up buttons as bear form you could choose between right/left/bite. Hard to dodge

Wow. What a long one. Couple things! 27:00 I REALLY like the idea of enemies behaving differently when more/less geared players interact with them. Particularly, I like a certain level of scaling difficulty for the PvE aspect of the game. New players can just slide by the Gnolls, but someone with some JUICE better get ready for a fight. Furthermore on this subject, I think this document hits the nail on the head that crafting should be a primarily first-floor endeavor. Following your argument on 49:00, this kind of crafting as an incentive to *go deeper* may provide an easier (pve-light) mode for gamers just trying to get by. While the *GIGACHAD PVP (REAL)* compilation makers go all the way down into the dungeon, I will be happily picking flowers and teaching noobs NOT to piss of the Ent. Indeed, it could have a positive effect on the atmosphere of “respecting the crouch”. Following 36:00 , having a crafting atmosphere on the first floor, assuming these crafted goods are more generally starter oriented, will likely provide a more *see a frand make a frand* atmosphere than the dungeons *MURDER KILL LOOT* culture we have now. And, on that note, while it would be cool 37:25 for parties to randomly meet and organize a dragon hunt, let's think about what that actually means. Depending on when this organization takes place, (likely pre-game if the World of Warcraft Devilsaur Mafia is of any comparison) that would mean a *6 player Giga-Gank* squad would be roaming the dungeon from the start. You think the pubstomping is bad now? Man, it would need a dedicated DRAGONSLAYERS que to prevent absolute CHAOS from erupting (though, I think that might stop the inevitable betrayal after dragon kill memes I so desire). Regardless, I think this is some excellent concept work from the person who put this vid together, and I found your insights and viewing of it quite enjoyable... P.S. on the skinning thing, 39:50 it is absolutely arbitrary what you can and can't skin. My general gamer rule of thumb is, "If it doesn't make me feel like a cannibal, I guess it's ok". Non-beastial Lizard-Folk are OFF the menu.

They r just going to make it heal only

I'm glad you were able to get some enjoyment out of the game. Personally I found it unplayable despite how much I wanted to like it. Simply due to the unresponsiveness of combat. Idk if you had the same issue (based on your clips it seems like not), but for me, literally half of my attacks would just go completely through the enemies, even when I'm right on top of them and hitting them directly. It would just woosh through them like they were a hologram. It was so frustrating I had to quit.

Fun video. I like the addition of long lasting debuffs like snakebite as it would give clerics more reason to take cleanse. I wonder, would faire fire also prevent stealth/invisibility? One addition I'd like to see is some sort of area denial/zoning spell, like perhaps a line or circle of thorns that slows enemies that try to cross it, kind of like a long range caltrops on steroids. Or does that seem redundant to you since hunter traps and rogue caltrops/smoke bombs already fill this role in a way? I was thinking it would be a much larger AoE though, but maybe that would be too strong

I can totally see that being a troll class.
