@ryan6daysaweek I have the spell reflect perk with that shield to send fire balls back into wizards. It's only good for that one thing but is hilarious when pulled off.
if the spells count is high for the sorcerer is because itll have perks to buff a particular type of magic damage, like spirit, earth or fire, id be pretty happy. should probably find more spells to giev to the wizardz though, unless sorcerer has really high spell cost per spell to balance it out or something.
Sigh...Ruins is my fav pvp map. I'm afraid that it will just be a perma dead lobby if ppl can sprint to the downs or take blues after they get a quest item.
Do you think that this water map could just be the tutorial / starter map and the thought of us getting a whole new map and a starter map is too much to hope for?
@@samugames0 Yeah it would probably only be a 2x2 map, dark and darker's biggest issue with players is that the learning curve is sooooooo hard to overcome
The whole reason why Barbs, Rangers, and Clerics are op is because of the agility/movement speed meta. If you’re faster that someone in a solo match then they can’t do anything but hug doors(which can still be broken by barbs if they have crush or judgemented through the hole by clerics). It’s the whole reason why I want more utility in the game like a tar bomb(slows everything in an area for a short period of time). It blows my mind how they don’t make it more utility focused so you can be prepared for those certain situations.
Maybe I'm wrong but isnt the rapier meant to be a riposte weapon? Like in real life? It's supposed to be able to finesse attacks and such? Would be really cool to see, and I think it'd fit.
I am guessing the current season will end early Dec. and then there will be the 1-2 week grace period before wipe happens. As for season rewards - I am not sure what they will be but I imagine they will give the Patherfinder rank a racial skin

that's literally what I said when I saw that... why in the tf would we have fishing? And what benefit would we even get from it, it seems so unnecessary and useless lmfao especially since there are much more important matters they need to address.
I am so worried at this point that Dark And Darker is going to not last the year... Content needs to be pushed out but there needs to be a lot of bug, server, and latency issues. The cheating issue is only rising in the game. I have watched these three things kill multiple games I loved. I love this game and will be so heartbroken if we get a Sundown announcement. Its so weird playing right now though with these glaring issues and fear of it just disappearing here soon
likely going to be different type of fishing rods used in different areas that give you different loot tables. There are definitely a lot of routes they could go with fishing but based on their mining and herb gathering mechanics, the first edition will be quite simple.
6:02 its interesting seeing the person who is the reason the core gameplay loop when it comes to gear is terrible, is also the reason it may get fixed. Its the logical conclusion though, he thought itd be good, implemented it, realized it very clearly wasnt, and is now walking it back. All his points in this section were spot-on.
if you got 10 people why would you spend 2 days on a quiver when you can fix a bug and if the quiver causes bugs then they have to spend more time on it like he said the guy supposed to work on it is working on something else btw 2 days is cutting short prob more like 2 weeks (modeling,animation,rarities,does action speed affect it does the perk affect it, code it,fix bugs, you get the point)
