this was a cool easter egg but dont expect this to be the case anymore cause this was before the capes were changed to gain 1 stat per rarity, and were all 1-3 of the stat randomly
The frost wolves came out when the ice caverns did. That was after the ruins first came out and dire wolves were in the game. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that make the frost wolves a reskin?
you are 100% right, I misspoke in the video - The Unreal Asset is white by default but the darker variant Ruins wolf came out in game before the Ice Caverns one did
The lava monster could be for a lava caves/tunnels map as a secondary level to the goblin caves. The undead knight looks almost identical to the reward skin on the leaderboard for this season. I suspect we might be getting that instead of an actual skeleton champion.
I love watching old gameplay. I really miss the circle swarm and random portals. It created so many more instense situations and decisions that meant you might need to run from a fight but take damage from the circle. And the random portals made escaping so much more satisfying. I really wish they would bring it back, the swarm, those blue and red portasl, it's Dark and Darker's identity.
Some of the stat rolls that were possible on Wipe #2 were insane. Like that padded tunic at 11:26 just isn’t possible anymore. Also gotta say stacking movespeed was easier but also kinda the same at the time, since before they buffed cloth armor’s MS penalty everything was a lot heavier
@@chickenbob562 Atm yes. Didn't the Ironmace developers talk about having an NPC between layers (waiting room) to allow players to store loot before entering the next map? I believe this addition could make 3 layer adventure possible without players getting too frustrated about losing hard earned valuables and quest items.
Ice Village map would be awesome - I do hope they bring back the 3 layer system but only if they combine lobbies so crypts/ice caverns aren't too empty
The golem also dropped the firefly's abdomen which you used to craft the craftable mace. Wild how that has been showing up in the crafting menu with no way to craft it, yet volcanic ashes have no use to this day.
despite the spawn issue I thought that old ruins pvp slapped and I hope they dont ruin that feel. I liked fighting in places other than doors and hallways.
Dead ass best map period. Even with the low walls and other "issues" people complained about. Being able to traverse multiple modules wasn't a problem imo seeing as it was available for everyone, don't like getting ganked or spawn rushed, move faster...
Dang it! I read "Wipe 4's Datamined" and my brain put together that a 4 player team mode was datamined. Was so happy because we're a group of 4 and one always has to sit out.
Sometimes I go back and watch the old fights in Ruins. It was always my favorite map. I hope they can keep the same soul from the old ruins for the new one. Excited for the wipe?
Seeing all the old gear was cool, I'm just constantly sat there saying "dude, that's SO overpowered!" But I'm more surprised at how slow the swing animations are. People used to say fighting in this game was like punching in a dream and I forgot how true that used to be.
I started playing when ruins and GC were the only maps. GC was laggy and rubber bandy, while Ruins was smooth as butter. My friends and I would get farmed so hard out of Ruins, we would barely ever make it down to Crypts, and even rarer was making it past the first mob we'd see in the off-chance we made it into Inferno. Every match they would come...at 350 movespeed and fully covered in gold....the moonlight shining off their armor....they were merciless and unrelenting. Now that I finally know how to play, they nerfed gold gear to the point where it's arguably worse than normal gear.
Are there any leaks suggesting that the new Demigod reward is anything other than just making your heart appear purple when people see your heart? I think it's underrated, but I also kind of agree with a lot of the community that it wouldn't be bad if it did more than just that. edit: It was awesome watching the old ruins gameplay, too. Reminded me of all the good and bad from back then. Lots of wacky stuff happening balance-wise but the game was so new and exciting. I still feel that way about new updates, but this was a special time.
@@BlankNames111 people will keep getting better though so you have to adapt. i fear that this game will end up like fortnite in terms of sweatiness but its already kinda there so
Dark and Darker has a "cool down" period once the leaderboard ends so there is always a week or so between the leaderboard timer's end date and the actual wipe
The undead knight I think will be used for the player skin from this season. It’s so similar to the skelly champ and looks just like the sprite in the rewards page
Undead knight is the one on the left, the skelly champ on the right is just the skelly champ for comparison. Our skelly champ skin is just going to be the skelly champ, the undead knight has not appeared anywhere yet.
shoot sorry for the confusion, I should have labeled them but yeah the left one is the Undead Knight and the right one is the Skele Champ we see in game
Thats not old ruins tho thats new ruins isnt it. New ruins doesnt become old ruins until new new ruins drops. Never forget old ruins best modules in the game
depending on how gear score is calculated and how well the new match making works at filling lobbies, there is a chance Ironmace will get rid of the rotation system completely
I want to see more unique mobs not more reskins, and I hope the new mobs don't have ubsurdly high hp and damge. I don't want to see ice troll if it has same or higher hp as cave troll also bigger maps with less mobs in each room would be better for the game
when they first announced they were removing it for all maps I was definitely part of the group that thought it would be a bad idea - now I am so glad they did haha
I just wish they’d get arenas and some decent balancing going… the pve of this game is f***ing awful. The ONLY saving grace for this game is that the pvp is sometimes fun and these dog shlt devs are focusing on everything but. Crazy how disconnected they are with their NA audience, you know their biggest source of income. They’ve said in interviews they think ice caverns is their best map and how they want to make the following”up to those standards” meanwhile nobody actually likes or plays the map, these absolute m*rons thought it’d be a good idea to make a boss that required teaming in an extraction looter that’s close to impossible to fight melee without taking a ton of damage. They changed that and now it’s basically warlocks fighting it solo 99% of the kllls. If this next wipe doesn’t have a good working arenas I’m probably just done with this game and genre, it’s nothing special anyways.
I do believe the class balancing is shit, some classes are easier than others it's unfair and ignorant to favor certain classes ina game that supposed to be hard in general.

Ironmace: let's make a really hard annoying enemy and at the same time make sure they always drop shit gear
Also ironmace: 🤯 GREAT IDEA
little spiders and beetles for example :D
Also ironmace: what if we use the cheapest servers and the lowest refresh rate for a PVPVE realtime combat.
Also also ironmace: YES!

What are the odds I go on break and open UA-cam to a upload from Ryan not even 2 minutes ago.... Lucky day

REAL
i genuinely want to know the odds
Cockatrice loot was actually decent near the end of ruin's life cycle; they were able to drop unique quality capes
right, i remember. that was my first unique drop.
WHAT?
this was a cool easter egg but dont expect this to be the case anymore cause this was before the capes were changed to gain 1 stat per rarity, and were all 1-3 of the stat randomly
I also got my first unique cape out of cockatrice , very excited for ruins next season
Im so exited for this. I just started playing like 1 month ago this is so dope. Lets go!
This is an amazingly put together video, I love how chill and knowledgeable you are!
The frost wolves came out when the ice caverns did. That was after the ruins first came out and dire wolves were in the game. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that make the frost wolves a reskin?
Yeah I had the same thought
Correct.

The lava monster could be for a lava caves/tunnels map as a secondary level to the goblin caves.

Holy lava caves under goblin caves sounds so fkn cool. Is that just an idea or does it have any ground? I hope you’re so right
@@acidfronn6007 Sadly just a guess of where they might go with the GC. I hope so too though because it would be really cool.

Ryan ur such a gigachad for makingthese videos, makes me so exited every time, keep it up man
yo thanks zyro, hope you have been well my dude!
yo got hyped when i see that gryffon thought it was a boss..or maybe..
I just want to take a bite of that slime.
added that to the snack list
Have you guys forgotten about the Ice Village map? Some of those mobs could be seen there IF that map is still planned.
Either the ceo or head dev said they will be sticking with just 2 layered maps for now. That's why ruins won't connect to crypts anymore
i think 2 layers is perfect
3 layers was interesting for sure, but was a bit too much
@@chickenbob562 Atm yes. Didn't the Ironmace developers talk about having an NPC between layers (waiting room) to allow players to store loot before entering the next map? I believe this addition could make 3 layer adventure possible without players getting too frustrated about losing hard earned valuables and quest items.
@@uNoCardiologist3110 I rly hope this, I want to see what they were trying to cook with Ice Village on top of the mountain, so cool concept

Bro the memories are flooding back with this video
😭
despite the spawn issue I thought that old ruins pvp slapped and I hope they dont ruin that feel. I liked fighting in places other than doors and hallways.
If they fix the high spots reachable by DJ Rogue and now possibly druids, its going to be a great time to play on
Hope they don't RUIN that feel 😂
I agree, there were some cool modules in Ruins that allowed for unique PvP encounters
Dead ass best map period. Even with the low walls and other "issues" people complained about. Being able to traverse multiple modules wasn't a problem imo seeing as it was available for everyone, don't like getting ganked or spawn rushed, move faster...
I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO BROS
Bring back the ruins fog, was so beautiful
Fighting a single movespeed warlock was like a raid boss 😂
Dang it! I read "Wipe 4's Datamined" and my brain put together that a 4 player team mode was datamined. Was so happy because we're a group of 4 and one always has to sit out.
the intro blew me away
Sometimes I go back and watch the old fights in Ruins. It was always my favorite map. I hope they can keep the same soul from the old ruins for the new one. Excited for the wipe?
old ruins had an awesome atmosphere and yeah I definitely excited for the wipe. I can't wait for some marbles
Would be cool if they added a daytime version of the map
@@grimmy7937I think that would be hard to do since the name of the game has the word dark twice in it!
Seeing all the old gear was cool, I'm just constantly sat there saying "dude, that's SO overpowered!"
But I'm more surprised at how slow the swing animations are. People used to say fighting in this game was like punching in a dream and I forgot how true that used to be.
haha yeah it was super odd watching this old footage - all the animations felt so slow but everything did so much more damage
Man, fights look so much longer back then. Those playere including yourself ate so many hits before dying :o
nice video TurbanG
Awesome video
I cant wait for ruins boyssss
Playing fighter/cleric duos on ruins was so fun back then. I hope the map is fixed when we get it back.
this was definitely the most fun comp I had on Ruins

Do you guys actually remember old old ruins? The one with the mists and places where you could go upstairs? I thought that one was so cool...
Yooo lets gooooooo
Curious if we will see any new weapons added. That would be cool
shame you didn't have footage from playtest #5 ruins, that week and a half was a magical time (especially day 1 HOLY SHIIIIIIT)

I really do hope that those datamined monsters would be in Ice Village map. Or they just scrapped that idea for now
14:36 aah it was hard but we all loved it and keep playing and now we have gear :P
Surprised to finally see a fighter with a sword and not a dagger.
i miss ruins so much tbh this last 2 wipes felt like shit i miss the old DaD :(
You just miss the feeling, its overall the best it has ever been now

I miss Old Ruins so much, it was so fun to kill people across the map as ranger when sitting on the towers.
windlass with true shot on that tower was absolutely criminal lmao
Ah, you were the one they were all whining about. 😂
First time I seen a full gold kit was in ruins
Sabertooth will probably be on the Ice Village map, which is a level above the caverns
What is the griffin you show at the beginning? What is that from? It looks exactly like the griffin from Ark.
what if the saber tooth is a new druid form tho unlikely still cool
Bro when I first played the game and the found the lava monster was the most scary shi ever
ruins map was fun
Man I miss ruins :,(
doesn't the wipe end and start on the 29th? is there a week break?
Dark and Darker has a "cool down" period once the leaderboard ends so there is always a week or so between the leaderboard timer's end date and the actual wipe
HYPE
I miss ruins. It was the onyl map I would ever play when I first started the game. Why did you have to remove the best map ironmace?
The undead knight I think will be used for the player skin from this season. It’s so similar to the skelly champ and looks just like the sprite in the rewards page

shoot sorry for the confusion, I should have labeled them but yeah the left one is the Undead Knight and the right one is the Skele Champ we see in game

Hope we get slime mob and possibly slime cosmetics
New Ryan vid? Let’s gooooo!
Thats not old ruins tho thats new ruins isnt it. New ruins doesnt become old ruins until new new ruins drops. Never forget old ruins best modules in the game
this is true I think haha
Game will never be balanced until they put a weekly lockout on bossing.
make the sabertooth become a druid animal form
how will the cycle be if ruins is added to the rotation
depending on how gear score is calculated and how well the new match making works at filling lobbies, there is a chance Ironmace will get rid of the rotation system completely
dark and darkers prime🥹
I hope they make gear more interesting somehow.
u gonna do a comparason video for DaD and DaD Mobile. Also ive been waiting for a video like thisfor a bit :)
Mainly cause i love the nostalga lol
I'll definitely get that vid in when the next beta opens up for DaD mobile

Am I the only one that misses swarm?
No griffin boss???
no griffin boss... yet 👀

I want to see more unique mobs not more reskins, and I hope the new mobs don't have ubsurdly high hp and damge. I don't want to see ice troll if it has same or higher hp as cave troll
also bigger maps with less mobs in each room would be better for the game
