sorry brother im still around, I just haven't been super motivated to play Dark and Darker these last two months. I've recorded footage and I do plan on coming back, but i don't wanna force it. I want to maintain having fun playing the game and i think those last few patches in may really burnt me out. Im on a bit of a break is all. thanks for checking in! i'll be back, promise!

i didn't know there was a ladder placed there when this happened. It was newly implemented that patch, and it gave me a bit of a scare for sure lol!

This is called the Pathfinder skin which was earned by reaching the Pathfinder rank in season 1 leaderboards. Pathfinder is the middle most rank (purple color i think but im colorblind so it might be blue)

Now that could work. They will have to get rid of a few perks that are skill dependent from multiclassing pool like ambush and strong lungs( i think that is the name)

1. While Druid may indeed excel in utility and versatility, it's crucial to acknowledge that the lack of damaging spells can limit the class's viability in certain situations. In a game where combat plays a significant role, having offensive capabilities is essential for players to contribute meaningfully to battles and progression. While support and adaptability are valuable traits, Druids should still have access to offensive options to ensure a balanced gameplay experience. 2. While the interaction with the passive heal over time and rat form adds a strategic element, it's important to consider whether this mechanic unintentionally creates an imbalance in gameplay. If players can exploit this combination to gain an unfair advantage, it could lead to frustration and dissatisfaction among the player base. Balancing risk and reward is one thing, but mechanics that disproportionately benefit certain playstyles or strategies may need adjustment to ensure fair and enjoyable gameplay for all. 3. While it's understandable that new features undergo adjustments based on player feedback, it's concerning if fundamental issues like hitbox problems and combat clumsiness persist for an extended period. Players expect a certain level of polish and functionality from game mechanics, especially in combat-focused aspects of gameplay. Continuous improvement is necessary, but timely resolution of known issues is essential to maintain player satisfaction and engagement. 4. While introducing a shapeshifting cooldown may initially seem restrictive, it could actually enhance gameplay by encouraging strategic decision-making and preventing spamming of transformations. Cooldowns are a common mechanic in games to balance powerful abilities and prevent them from being abused. By implementing a cooldown system for shapeshifting, developers can maintain the fluidity and flexibility of Druid gameplay while ensuring that transformations are used thoughtfully and strategically. 5. While experimentation and creativity are important aspects of gameplay, it's essential to maintain balance and fairness in the game world. If Rat form allows players to access areas or abilities that significantly disrupt game balance or progression, it could undermine the integrity of the gaming experience. Developers should prioritize addressing any game-breaking issues associated with Rat form to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for all players, while still allowing room for exploration and discovery within the game world.

I did that it didn't work

It's interesting forsure we really need it to come to the live servers so we can see its real potential!

Hey! thank you i appreciate the support!

It's definitely a tough one and I think you are right about the player base. More players would help IM a lot. Hopefully we see that steam release sometime soon!

oh thank you! i'll post some more full raid content soon in that case! I have two full raids that i can stitch together just for you. Thanks for watching!

Magic dmg doesn't roll on gloves, it rolls on heads. Gloves are physical dmg only

@@ubiquitination thanks! I feel like wizard is so scary, get too close to any fighting class and you might be done, even with super good gear

This is true in solos. In teams you have mates to help with that, bit in solos I recommend multiclassing into a warlock and rerolling until you get the spell flamewalker. This spell makes melee classes struggle to chase you!

I understand what you're saying and I don't like gbmm either, but just to be fair, Normals is for new players, not high roller

I think GBMM was meant to HELP the more casual players, but it isn't working because of meta-gamers. Its easier to outgear everyone in lower lobbies rather than out skilling equally geared players in 300+ lobbies. Also Bryan has a point, normals are better for new players and I think they are crazy fun as well. I have some footage I may make into a video on normals in the future!

Glad to see others also don't enjoy the gbmm and its not just me

They worked at Nexon prior I believe. Trust me if they took code from them you don't want this type of game from Nexon. It would be pay 2 win and infinitely worse.

That's so unfortunate I'm sorry to hear that. Surprising I have quite a few of the mafia on us west around 2am as well. I assume VPNing for dead servers to gold farm

I tend to always be the most geared player in my lobbies either way. I think most people don't run bis in solos or maybe I'm just unlucky

Yup that's basically the current loop. It's not very fun atm

Its not just that its calculable, its also just a bad system. You can be in all greens and end up in the higher lobbies because you took too many heals. 2 stacks of grey pots is like taking an extra blue 2 handed weapon I understand protection pots, surgical kits and throwables all having a gear score but basic heals dont give you any kind of advantage.

@@SpringHeeLJaK89 brother what? 2 handed blue is 60 and 2 stacks of grey pots is 18, i understand what youre staying but its just so off base its hard to side with you.

@@SpringHeeLJaK89 Agreed, it feels bad when I'm wearing greens from one zero to hero match and then feeling the need to stash and green/blue health pots and bandages I found. Also feels real bad dropping any better instruments on my bard to grab junk ones. I understand the Drum and Lute because those can deal damage, but that four resourcefulness on my lyre may give me too much of an advantage xD. In general, I like the idea of a split queue purely because it allows for more consistent zero to hero vibes because I personally find spending time in the market to buy gear as a bore. Maybe they should add an AP penalty to the lower lobbies that scales depending on your adventurer rank.

There shouldn’t be set brackets it should just try to match you similarly geared players

Don't apologize, just move forward.

Aye aye. It's out btw

Gamma post effect

I appreciate the "cliche" comment lol. I only recently started uploading 2 months ago, and we've been slowly building up a base of great people who enjoy the content. I strive to learn with every video I edit to provide more engaging and overall fun videos to watch. Thank you for the kind words!

Lol I've been working in this build for almost 5 months and the build guide video will be out in a few days

I agree with part of that logic but I think it's more nuanced than that. Warlocks are a good example of what I mean. Warlocks have always been an incredibly good solo class (which is why I've played it for so long) but that doesn't translate as well into team comps. The nerfs to Warlocks recently have definitely been influenced from solo gameplay, not just trios. It all comes down to the class as a whole really. Honestly, I don't envy the devs with how hard it's be to properly balance the game. It might NEVER be a balanced game, but rather a game that changes with the shifts in the META

These things take time. If you care to know every video I push out generally takes me about 15 hours on the high end and about 10 hours on the low end. I'm always teaching myself new editing techniques and trying out new methods to make a more fun video. Videos have been averaging WELL over the expected viewership AND retention which leads me to believe that people enjoy the quality to a degree. Thus, I won't apologize for not pushing out a video every day or two, but I will kindly ask that you remain patient and trust that I am striving to give each and every one of you a a great experience when you come to this channel. p.s. thanks for even having considered waiting for another upload, it means a lot ❤️

@@ubiquitination All good, just felt on that last video that you meant it as it's coming soon soon, didn't mean to make you feel bad or anything hahahaha. I know these things take time, thanks for the content <3

No worries sometimes when i reply i sound upset/edgy but i just have a tough time typing out my thoughts so sometimes it sounds like im mad or whatever. i don't take anything online negatively, so you don't gotta apologize. also, the DaD changes messed up my in depth guide for the caster lock, so im releasing a simpler guide with less info and more focused on what to buy. its less time consuming this way. I'll frankenstein some of the footage i have edited since i spent hours on it even though those items/stats arent available anymore. will just have to find a way to use em. I made a damned music video intro for it an everything just for all the gear to change again LOL

Thank you! I don't really have a team to do that although I can put something together im sure

Alpha

lol

Dark reflection works with them

Currently editing that video, will be out soon

the flamewalk that would do 2% of his health a second hahahahha

Oh it would've hurt, but that doesn't really matter when he would've killed the lock with a single headshot from the bardiche. Not to mention if you jump spam the damage from flamewalk is pretty negligible.

He could have just used the viking sword and like you said jumping reduces the damage. Although u will say barb has fallen on some tough times with their nerfs lol but i vividly remember getting 2 tapped by throwing axes so i don't feel bad

Barbs are still one of the easiest classes to stat check people with, that's why people play them.

Would you l like to, in depth, state your reasoning? If not no worries

You know, I kinda get that. Before I ever started uploading videos I always found the "like sub comment" spiel VERY annoying. Like, dude, if I like ur video I'll do it, right? BUT, I now understand that the reminder is incredibly impactful. The reminder to subscribe really is just that, a reminder for folks who watch a video, forget that they aren't subbed, and then the algorithm never shows my video to them again. So, yeah, I understand what ur saying but it really does have an impact, that's why people do it.

bard is just as good when geared tbh. for solo. funny how 2 characters that use all 7 stats rise to the top when +all comes back

Idk man. Knowledge got nerfed by 40 percent. Drain heal is based on damage and knowledge (ticks of heal) and you have to have cover/sit in place to heal. I think when you watch myself run this you have to keep on mind that my gear is actual best in slot. I maybe have a total of 2-3 wasted rolls from all my gear combined. I still get ran down by sprint fighters and barbs who don't wear a chest. And I almost died to a rogue who I couldn't get away from with literally 500 gold investment in his kit.

What's your name in game ?

@@ubiquitination Occultious, Hexus, LordOfAll, LordHexus

ill keep an eye out for u next time, if u see me just start voiping my name i'll stop lol. Its me if im fast af with a female elf skin

Care to explain how Warlock is oppressive? Please also mention what class you usually play. I'd like to hear your views

@@ubiquitination hydra can block them from getting to you and you can heal off your hydra reseting the fight. He has both close range hitscan and long range attacks. He can use boc and take out most classes easily. Phantomize makes physical attacks useless and favors magic meaning he can run right up to you and you can't damage him till he's done. Hit and run is very popular so if you don't have the ms you kinda just die and can't do anything about it. Flame walker stops people from being able to chase you. I don't like how they can pretty much reset the fight so fast.

@@ubiquitination also longsword fighter i am

@randombot1422 alright before i say anything lemme note none of this is to counter your issues you listed. this is to help you and to give you the view from PLAYING the warlock vs just fighting against one: 1. Hydra doesn't block you off, it can be with 100% consistency be jumped over, all it takes is a crouch jump to continue pushing the player. 2. Healing off hydra is possible but takes a tremendous amount of damage to do, if i don't have damage i cannot heal, meaning i am using good gear to have this luxury. 3. Warlock has only 3 offensive spells, Curse of Pain (hitscan close range) Dark Bolt (Long range line spell) and Ray of Darkness ( close range channel). Pain is LOW damage and forces a warlock to risk being within melee range. Bolt is VASTLY inferior to crossbows as well as recurve and survival bows in both damage out and ease of use. Beam is similar to Pain and thus nobody really uses it. 4. Phantomize is the WORST movement stim in the game. It has a 1 minute cooldown, 3 times longer than sprint, more than 2 times longer than rage, and still slower than a rogues Hide (with Ambush giving you a movement stim). When phantomize is used, the play is LOCKED into their animation, they cannot put their weapon away, they cannot exit the form early, they cannot interact with any objects. The most important thing to note is the 1 minute cooldown that doesn't begin until phantomize has ended. use that to your advantage. Also every class can use flame bottles to zone, kite, AND deal double damage to a warlock aping u with phantomize+BoC. 5. This game is controlled by the current meta as with every game. the current meta IS movement speed in solos because of its ease to build and overall low investment for most classes. as a fighter you can run 310-320 movement with practically NO gold investment (maybe 1000 max) and with sprint cooldown being broken a warlock can NEVER corner you with phantom/boc as long as you don't allow it. If you are using plate/heavy leather armors, you are nerfing yourself and have nobody to blame other than yourself for your choice, or the devs for allowing the current balance. 6. Flamewalker is my absolute favorite spell in the game. It is the ONLY spell in this game that properly allows somebody to use a zoning ability to prevent aggressive chasing tactics. But flamewalker has several flaws. The cast animation is relatively long meaning the time it takes to apply the buff not only leaves the lock vulnerable, he is also SLOWED during that time attempting to apply it. secondly. flamewalker ONLY does significant damage if the player is using maximum true/add magic damage, otherwise you can pretend it doesn't exist. third, flamewalker's functionality is as follows: the flames ONLY appear on the ground if the warlock WALKS on the floor, meaning when he jumps the floor will not have fire on it. Also if you want to chase a warlock and he is running with a trail of fire on him, you can JUMP on the flames and as you are airborne you will NOT take any damage. you can effectively bunny hop his flames while chasing him with your hands out, and taking minimal damage in the process. Hopefully you read all of this and it makes sense. You should ABSOLUTELY be able to fight a warlock, but you have to make sure you aren't being outgeared and outplayed. The gear is easy to do right now and everything i talked about should give you the knowledge to help fight warlocks. i know it was long sorry about that. hope it helps. also i commend you for having fun as a longsword fighter but that shit is troll af in PVP bro, don't expect to win a ton of your fights (especially against casters) with a longsword. Its not a skill issue its a weapon/hitbox issue. I hope this info is helpful!

@@ubiquitination you can 100% never see someone jump over a hydra on a door. The hydra van also push someone out of cover applying more pressure

Well you got me there. I'll have a build guide out soon that explains my thoughts but the short of it is that TM into Drain wins because of the passive healing. I just don't always use tm because it's hard to get all the needed stats (especially movespeed)

flamewalker has its counter but its skill based. (not really cuz its literally just bunny hopping) i will not even entertain you talking about CoP since Zap exists. Warlock is the best solo class because it can be played in a way that doesn't just succumb to any other one class. its counters are build/gear related not class related. its outclassed by EVERY class when those classes are built the correct way. the two easiest counters to this build is a wizard with high knowledge and literally any rogue with cutthroat and 400g spent on boots, pants, and a dagger. (if you don't believe me, i have ALL the proof in footage recorded running movement speed cap and i still can't get away from these lizards wearing green gear) i don't run platecaster, and if i did i'd being trolling because this build is simply better(obviously an opinion but a correct one nonetheless) so i don't know what the complaint here is. maybe you would prefer it if EVERY class could build in multiple ways like how lock currently can? and yikes phantomize is the worst move stim in the game, you are locked in animation, it gives you the LEAST amount of movespeed and you can't interact with anything. bro i can't even put my weapon away in phantomize. im sure people just hate it because of those who pop boc and push in phantomize. the only reason i use phantomize is as a panic button when enemy jumps me from stealth or something similar. i dont see what the problem is with the way i use it.

@@ubiquitination I'm not complaining about anything. Like I said I enjoy your content and you are a very skilled player. I only started this game 2 months ago so I'm very far from being an expert. It's just that Warlock has so many tools, like compared to ranger for example.

Oh im not taking it as you complaining or anything like that. keep in mind context gets lost in translation ( or in this case when typing instead of talking) im just trying my hardest to read EVERYTHING you (or any commentors) say and give you a response (whether i agree or disagree). i've said this in a few videos before, i LOVE people who comment what they do and don't like, especially those who give their opinions in a well written manner that incites dialogue. I appreciate you commenting and giving your views/opinions/feelings on the game and its mechanics. im really not a dickhead youtuber who needs things to be my way only lol. thanks for watching im looking forward to more comments from you in the future!!!

also i see why you said that now, i wrote "so i don't know what the complaint here is" but i didn't mean that as in whining/complaing but more as what the issue, problem is hopefully that clarifies it a bit. tbh i find it a bit hard to translate my normal day to day speech into text without it coming across one way or another

actually i might make a pinned comment about this so everybody knows

Imagine being mad enough to comment?

@@ubiquitination dude he was on your side, friendly fire

@@jakestrooband3960 Wow you're right, i feel like an idiot. @itsukisenpai4941 my apologies I read your message as warlock playing INTO a barb (like fighting the barb) and you said i was crying in reference to what i started talking about immediately after that. I'm terribly sorry about that sir.

@@ubiquitinationthis made me laugh bro im sure ur forgiven brotha

player gear does give you some AP but its very small. I'm not sure about the flag idea lol. But yes pvp is incentivized for several reasons, but naturally, if you have a game where players can fight each other even if its optional, pvp for the sake of pvp will always be enough for most players

It's only pointless in exemplar unless it's for their treasure cause fees are so high

yeah fees are pretty insane right now, if i take out someone whose whole kit is valuable, i can do everything from bossing to flamewalking every mob i see and interacting with all the chests. i'll still lose at least 100-200 ap lol
