Sadge spud left but he didn’t want to be the negative nancy on the podcast hopefully iron hammer fix the game and start fulfilling the promises made. I’m sure if DaD is good again and OCE is fixed he will be back. Also smart move not attaching urself to 1 game in case it dies.
I will miss him dearly, he was great, I really didn't mind him being negative because he wasn't, just productively criticizing the game in a respectful way
This was fantastic. Hunter has more hours on longsword than me at this point I bet lol. Was a fan of him when he played ball since I grew up as a baseball player too. Quality seeing this guy be tied in to the DaD community. Think the gear normalization is pretty good idea. The gear gap is pretty impactful still. Being able to completely sell the bag on some classes and just win based on stats is pretty unrewarding for PvP in a game. If we want good PvP and quality competition gear normalization is the only real way to ensure that imo. With the current iteration of gear I think there is very little competitive integrity in the game PvP wise. Outside maybe longsword, wizard, and bows, there's very little ways to express skill to topple the gear gap. Also glad to see bunny hopping gone. Literally never catching kiting players unless they made a mistake felt and continues to feel horrible. I got way better things to do than run after a mofo for 5 modules for 6 mins. Game ain't fun like that. But that's a predominantly solo issue I guess. And solos mode dark and darker is a 4/10 compared to duos/trios which are solid 8/10 game lol
Genuinely hope to see Hunter become a host on the podcast. Guy knows his shit and is great at speaking and giving a perspective that's different from anyone else.
He's far too busy to be a permanent host. He works for the SF Giants, is a celebrity, and he travels quite a bit. I think we'll be lucky to have him as a guest a couple times a year tops.
I don't know about this one, I've been loving the podcast for a while. But I'm getting tired of this games balance. Seemingly same with much of the community. I especially dont like small comments made towards individuals expressing their opinions- like saying how the druid didnt know how to play his class, when its objectively not meta to play that class as the healer SDF advertised it be, nor has it been since release- so even if the class does have good healing that doesnt invalidate what he said- because evidently no ones playing the class the way even the main developer thought it was going to be played, why subtly diss him? Or with the arena guy, why call him dumb? ironically- Jay and to my shock onepeg said the exact same thing as that guy. Jay said it felt rushed and OnePeg called it barebones (generally speaking, when a product is referred to as barebones- it implies that it is rushed). Jay even in the background went a step further and called it raw, which much of the community seemingly feels the exact same way. I'm dissapointed because if you was going to cover the Q&A at all, it would've been nice to have a proper discussion around each question. Rather then underplaying many of their queries and subtly dissing them just because you to varying degrees- disagree with them. Of course some of the questions are a little bit loaded- many of these people are product evagalists, they've bought the product- recommended it to their friends and have for months- seen the game constantly take turns they dont like (which is direclty implied in their questions and emotive statements) but you as someone working in marketing should be aware and especially careful alienating them; whilst its easy to call them angry gamers, once you lose the evangalists- you significantly disable the ability for meaningful growth. I think the best part of this podcast this time round was Hunter Pence, loved his attitude and positivity. Jay had some good highlights too. Miss you spuddy boi.
@Jaygriffyuh You said that there is no disarm in the game like the spiders debuff but bards song peacemaking is just that. I get your point though with the imbalance, maybe wizard should get some disarm spell/ability when sorcerer come out since wizard is supposed to be more of a support/utilities class
@@aaronbrandon2321 They don't hurt anyone for the most part. They're only good at third party, and running away lol. They are just annoying to fight. They fumble, they run away, reset and try again. Over, and over until you trap them.
a year since i last played. it's nice to see nothing has changed at all. DnD trying to be something for everyone while being nothing for anyone. .... The only thing that really surprises me is how long DnD has stayed at around 20k concurrent players for months now. Bravo.
Like they said in podcast, game was peak when we were all on crypts fights. Begining of the season my buddy and I decided we were gonna learn wyvern got tired of waiting for ever between attempts (waiting for map and then waiting for ice abyss) decided to go play some deadlock and we've pretty much only been back on weekends for arena. I know removing content sucks but what's the point if people arnt playing. I know people will be sad with no gc or ice caves but pull them out till we can fix the main gameplay loop. The 3 tier dungeon and random maps don't work well with questing.
Very worried about the future of the game after SDF's statement. Sounds like he is about to burn it to the ground with shorter TTK and no random modifiers. I wish they would stick with Terence's more grounded vision.
Terence should pull an ironmace on ironmace, that's all im sayin'. His contributions have more often than not been great for the game, unlike SDF. start of the previous wipe was almost perfect.
Maybe an unpopular potential fix in regards to healing being strong in fights, but I think: Getting hit with a melee or ranged weapon attack could give a "Wounded" Debuff that reduces the amount of incoming healing by a set percentage. This would alleviate the need to nerf it on specific classes.
This is a good idea, would def reduce the OPness of the full cleric / druid resets. Maybe just the potions and bandages would function as normal, but heal related class spells would be debuffed temporarily?
I know I'm a little late but why don't they just make it so Druid can only use 2 forms per ability slot so if you want all forms right now you would have to take both ability slots with no spells. Also, that way you can still do panther chicken or bear rat in one slot
i get the queue anxiety, i play on and off with only 1 headset side on my ear cuz of kids and gf and im always stressed out to think i will lose my only good kit xD
I watched this all the way through. It's a real shame onepeg put this up on his channel before you dropped it and all the views when to him. We need more Hunter!! Hunter is the real embodiment of a player
Early dungeon entrance should be tied to some map objectives or items, like bringing 1 soul of a killed player, if you want to go deeper in the dungeon, earlier. Also, flails, when?
Imagine if you had a max gear score cap like 125-400 and you have to find a way to win max 400 so you can have maybe one legendary weapon but that’s like 100-300 of your gs
Was a bit nervous about the podcast since it’s been a month without an episode, gonna miss spuddy but the guests and content of this episode were great
He's a former MLB player for the SF Giants, won 2 world series, among other things he plays Dark and Darker a lotttt, I would know since I play with him almost everyday. He streams every now and then but he does say he wants to try to stream more. He's twitch is HunterPence
Streamers apply big pressure to devs by constantly complaining online and huge portion of the population watching is looking at the screen and nodding head. Name one game that has over 60 patches and updates within a year. They make so much changes they loose perspective of what they want to do, what works and how to improve it. Thats my take.. other than that i enjoy most streamer content but they cry too much.
should probadly hold off any type of advertising with the state of the game and community. shi would be horribly for new comers, but if ironmace cares more about revenue go ahead lmao
I like the podcast a lot... Love you all especially Jay and Spuddy as they are very much online all the time. Saying this i want to note that both have valid and extremely wild takes about the game. Streamers especially should not be a standard for a game content. I have over 1300 h in game for the past year and i have attempted only 1 time a Inferno boss. I watched some streamers practice wyvern and some take over 30 tries to learn it... i just dont have any interest in doing so couse 30 tries or 30 hours or whatever is about 2 weeks of game time for me... i never complete quests i have never played with unique item. I log in play for a few hours and thats it.. have zero interest in grinding ladders and Demigods couse PVE is boring and feels like single player game most of the time. So as a non streamer i will never experience huge portion of the game content. Streamers often complain they dont have enough content in game so there is a huge riff of expectations from the game and the devs. Having said that you guys burn out playing 12 h a day simple as that.... were majority of players in game never experience full content.
i think being shorter in this game (goblin/dwarf) wont be an advantage in melee scenarios, it will just make it easier for the enemy to land headshots while forcing you to hit limbs or torso by just jumping...
Imagine if we just didn’t keep losing players every wipe maybe you wouldnt have a population issue if you didn’t keep finding a new experiment on how quickly we can kill our game

Start in crypts have a module or two with stairs going up to ruins and a module or two with stairs going down to inferno?

||I swear to GOD i see LESS and LESS people playing rangers then i SEE fighters taking the BULK of lobby's population.||
They just need to shorten the distance of the druid dash/jump. It should still be a technique but crossing an entire module is way too OP
You put two charges on shapeshift mastery that come back every few seconds. Would instantly fix 90% of this class.
He might be cooking with the wiz change bc I also watched my friend die to wiz invis and I was confused why there was no after image
Imagine if you had a max gear score cap like 125-400 and you have to find a way to win max 400 so you can have maybe one legendary weapon but that’s like 100-300 of your gs
where is spuddy?
druid instant shape shift was ill thought
Finally!!!
Can someone fill me in on why spud left? I really enjoyed his contributions to the cast. Sending my love to him
I think he was one of thousands of players who quit the game this wipe.
It's clear he didn't want his career to die with the game. Hopefully it gets better.
Was a bit nervous about the podcast since it’s been a month without an episode, gonna miss spuddy but the guests and content of this episode were great

Not liking Goblin Caves is big L
Goblin caves suck, just a humble oce players opinion (we have a mafia in there)
Puttin charges on Druid would ruin it .
I prolly have to shift 15-20 times a fight
Druid needs compounding transform penalty that gets more punishing after each transform
