You are a big part of what brought me back to DD1. You have really made the game feel approachable for someone who'd never really been serious with it until July/August of this year.
I loved this video, especially the beginning where you gave us a little backstory to your time in DD. I was wondering what the numbers on the renamed armor pieces correspond to? I've seen this a lot when I played actively a few years ago, but I never bothered to learn why.
Congrats on reaching these really impressive milestones! This game was such a big part of my childhood, and it’s cool to see so many dedicated people still playing so actively, and making all sorts of cool guides to help out other players! Idk if this is the best place to ask this, but I have a couple of questions, and I thought you’d be able to help. 1. On a lot of your guides, you say it’s simply better to farm weapons on campaign maps and not survival. Why is this the case? Wouldn’t survival allow for better quality of loot, and thus weapons with better stat rolls? Is it because many weapons can cap out on stats even on just the campaign maps? 2. Conversely, why use survival for armour farming if campaign maps are faster? Again, is it because weapons can roll with capped stats on campaign maps, but armour can’t? Apologies for the questions, but I’m a bit of a dodo in this regard, and can’t seem to find an answer anywhere. Keep up the great work!
End of map rewards (weapons, acc, pets) are the same quality on Campaign and Survival. Certain maps are just not good maps to farm armor on survival. So if you are wanting the end of map rewards from those maps, it’s faster to play campaign in most cases. Survival is the main way to farm armor because floor drop quality caps on wave 23 which is why you survival farm from wave 22-35. Campaign maps never reach those waves so the floor drops are bad.
Ah, I see. Thanks! Speaking of pets, I saw some people with Mythical pets like Little Wizards or Genies rolling with some stats at 400, even though the cap for Mythics is 360, iirc. Do all pets have special stat caps, or is it just for a select few? Does this also apply to other pets of higher quality (e.g. ult pets having stats over the cap of 600, ult+ pets over the cap of 700, etc.)?
@@KamFather It's possible for tower pets like Gemstones and Giraffes to over roll their soft cap. The other pets generally have a possible minimum and maximum roll that would that could in theory roll over that quality cap. But I am not certain though.
@@Juanlife-f9mlol, that is a result of playing for a very long time and being friends with event hosts from the early days. There are many players with better heroes without events.
This brought a tear to my eye! My dad got me into this in 2012 and now I’m getting my son into in 2024! It’s a beautiful thing!
The circle of life. 😀

Thank you so much for your kind words.

The pleasure is mine. It has been great playing with you as well.

That's awesome! I'm so glad we were able to help.

Thanks. :D Here's a video I made going over what all of the numbers mean.

You definitely are. I name drop you in another video coming up as well.

I want to be strong like you, it will take some time, i just reached 6k on my aprentice, cool video now i know what to aim for.
nevermind there is to way many event items in your account, i'll never be strong like you.
You can do it! It just takes time and a lot of patience.

Im stuck where you once were, I have great Builders (7k+) but no good dps so im afraid to try co op or end game dps heavy stages.
I would probably work on getting a DPS Monk going, then from there working on a Jester. From there you can branch out to DPS Apps/Hermits/Hunts/EVs.

Hey, do you and your son still play dungeon defenders?
Not anymore. He's 24 now and isn't really into tower defense games, sadly.
@ maybe someday again ;), was a nice and sweet story, that you two or more he found this game for you. 👍🏻
It is a fond memory for sure. Just like my memories of playing Left 4 Dead 2 with my 2 other kids and Rocket League with my youngest.
@@Theoran1911 tell him there is a WoW raid and introduce him to tbr Kappa
@@Who_Gaming I will have to give that a try sometime. 😁
So many cheaters 😢 only cheaters I’ll ever have are the eternal defender ones xD
