there's a balance here that the devs are missing. The gear change is bad, however a variation of normalizing the gear is what they need - this is just a way too steep. The bigger problem is their complete and utter lack of competence when it comes to balancing characters. The constant back and forth changes (quite literally) of balance and items is insane. Completely insane. The fact that they did what they did with barbs this patch is absolutely mind blowing. As far as making gear easier to get (patch 68 I think?), that seems wrong. I haven't played nearly as much as you (my job isn't to play this game). However, since playtest 2 I've sunk 100s of hours into the game. I quit temporarily at the end of last wipe. To me, when I join a wipe, getting a wild kit close to BIS on the second day isn't fun for me. If you know how to play this game, it is SO INCREDIBLY EASY to get good gear. It ruins the grind for me. So, I end up doing boring quests to upgrade my merchants and craftables, most of which are kinda broken/useless anyway (remember when you couldn't craft protection potions because white prot pots didn't drop in the game or were more rare than purples and they didn't fix it the entire patch?). I don't really have an answer for it, I haven't given it that much thought because I just play it, they aren't paying me. However, I feel like a competent developer could figure something out. Again, to me, the game is just way too easy and the gameplay loop gets very very very stale if you make this your main game. I have no idea how you play it so much. I'd absolutely despise the game if I played it as much as you.
Good, trawling around a dungeon in the shadows looting isn't a fun game. Take out armour and weapons altogether, add loadouts and balance the loadouts instead and then all you have to worry about is actually enjoying the game of fighting monsters and people. Not some dragon hoarding loot sim.
@Firebox720 good call. Glad to see you back by the way. Hopefully they make some changes. Last patch was so good compared to what's happening with patch 69
so basically they made old barbarian be back. Every patch i see is basically "delete every class update they did from the start of the game". Every time is the same, months of class balances, and then they go back to the start.
the classes that were broken before have just been more pronounced in this patch they havent changed theyve always been this busted just a little stronger because everyone and their grandma has been bitched by ironmace and shat on by sdf
Hurts to see this happen dawg maybe ur cursed firebox what if any game you start playing the devs just start imploding// nah im just playing but man what does it take to just realize patch #69 was a complete joke in the middle of a wipe
The question you should be asking is why are barbs getting buffed? What is it lacking to cause these buffs? The answer is range damage specifically bows and crossbows. That is fundamentally why barb is a fast glass cannon because if it wasn't think of how it would play in a trio. Gear change is amazing it's definitely the right direction for pvp. I hope socket gems and new secondary stats for pve only will be the answer.
I hate this whole damn point, oh the looting is pointless now, wahhhh. The looting is literally the worst part of the game and boring as FUCK. Gameplay is fighting monsters and people. Not having to worry about what your wearing and still being able to compete is FUN CONDUCIVE. Grinding out hours to get a loadout to make yourself viable against sweats, is NOT FUN.
I hated both patch 68 and 69. Patch 68 made gear too easily attainable, making losing and gaining gear not feel like a big deal anymore. And patch 69 just outright ruined the entire game , no need to explain why 😂
Went from great to “gone” in ONE patch
I was really enjoying patch 68!
@@Firebox720 I KNOOOWW MEE TOOOO, great vid as usual, looking forward to see the next extraction you try out
@@KlikxTalksYT They did such a good job reducing grind while also making loot feel better. Then they do this shit
Patch 68 was so fun now I just W key with Barb mostly squire gear... ggs
Thats skill expression baby
I am very, very sad with the difference between 68 and 69

What were they thinking with this patch? I am no expert and just a casual player but I can see this is just a mess.
@@lemonadegalaxy4909 just waiting for something to happen now...
Inventory full of potions, only thing worth picking up. Combat consists of wkey and left clicking. This is sdfs vision
Yea hold my +15% action speed kit timmy

@af635 you got me, I'm a Timmy
@@GoddaryuTUBE yeah so just completely destroy the game because it is a loot extractor?
Do you think lycan skin is a good pick too or is the lizard armor better than vigor
@imbombayman lizard is better here because you lose too much armor, especially during rage
@Firebox720 good call. Glad to see you back by the way. Hopefully they make some changes. Last patch was so good compared to what's happening with patch 69
good to see you on DND again :D
What was Sdf thinking. 😂
firebox is back! but dad is dead
Came back just in time for arguably the best and worst patch in DaD history
After #69 patch they should change game name into "Barb and Barber"
Isnt the wolf skin better because of the flat Hp boost?
it would be, but you lose too much armor with rage. You don't want to be negative here. With a chest piece probably
patch 68 was fantastic its too bad they had to destroy the enjoyability of the game so fast
Only solution I find against Barbs is Smite + Divine protection Cleric
so basically they made old barbarian be back. Every patch i see is basically "delete every class update they did from the start of the game". Every time is the same, months of class balances, and then they go back to the start.
I play druid and i bonk barbs all day, you guys are d-u-m-b
the classes that were broken before have just been more pronounced in this patch they havent changed theyve always been this busted just a little stronger because everyone and their grandma has been bitched by ironmace and shat on by sdf
trolling if you dont bring rage? do you even play barbarian before the update??
lizardskin is only viable for barb, for fighter chapel is much better and gives more movement speed
Ur saying liz helm is great, i mean u could just use a leather cap if ur worried about weight rofl
How has bro not completed any quest on any characters? lmao
Hasnt played at all this wipe
hatchet is so broken i love it
Hurts to see this happen dawg maybe ur cursed firebox what if any game you start playing the devs just start imploding// nah im just playing but man what does it take to just realize patch #69 was a complete joke in the middle of a wipe
@CeaseKai I am definitely cursed
@@Firebox720 no but forreal. I hope they revert this patch I’ve played maybe 2-4 games in the past 2 days
game is basicly now 3 rangers with crossbows wow..
Game is dead in one patch never seen any devs do this
Stop playing the game and let the playercount drop everyone
Imagine playin rogue like me now xd i dont find motivation to play it when looot sucks man cuz pvp is damn impossible for me now
bro you bring me midnight walker i bring you the tipp mistfall hunters
I already requested beta access waiting for that game!
Changed forever! Until 3 days later with patch 69-1. This community is full of crybabies I swear.
Should take a shower after that one lol I like barbs as a class across many fiction games, but this is just wrong 😂

The game is dead now
Yes, you should uninstall and never come back, pls
something im starting to notice is that all the solo players hate the patch and all the trio players are liking it
pretty much anyone with a brain hates this patch, haven’t seen a single good trios player say they like it
Because are all the loser solo player with no lives who spent 700+ hrs farming bis and soloing bosses for nothing

This game is dog water.
