Noot277: 1 step forward 3 back

squash6822: Tbh it’s already too late people have lost faith in the devs because of how sdf functions

Shlaf: Following the d&d patch notes is like watching a small child try to build a house. Out of small sticks. And using gasoline as glue to hold it together.

Peak incompetence incarnate

managlare: Veteran players warned me 8 months ago when I started playing that this is was the game's endless development cycle. I thought they were exaggerating.

Skizy_YT: anyone remember the hype around wyvern? how fire it was that we got a new map? i do...

Verbose_Mode: I hate to say it, but…

Whatever, man.

Im glad people like Ryan are providing alternatives.

characterK: Too little too late. I've been gaming since the early 90s and I've never seen devs flip flop this often. Time to move on, my dudes.

barapatan: I would be instantly back on hearing that SDF has been removed from any creative direction of Dark and Darker.

But we know that's never happening.

Isaax: Playing Dark and Darker should be added as a synonymous term to "Stockholm Syndrome" in the dictionary

SookieSpy: One month from now they will bring back solo/duos, but it's too late.

The cycle goes like this:

-Sdf hints at a terrible idea

-The playerbase heavily warns against it

-Sdf does it anyway

-The change sucks and everyone review bombs the game

-Sdf is forced to revert changes

The core problem is sdf. He thinks he knows best when he has proven time and time again, that he is out of touch with what makes the game good.

Swix_z: I never thought I’d feel abused by a dev

thiskid1244: My steam review was positive through and through 800 hours on steam. This wipe it had to change, I'm afraid to say I'm not sure if reverting the changes are enough to get the players back. It just feels like an even worse patch 69 all over again, only a matter of time before they try to ruin it again.

Drathrin: "if i call it "Hit To Kill" instead of "Time to kill" I can avoid admitting I am wrong about low TTK! Genius! -SDF

Ajexious: 5 minutes about midnight walkers out of 8 in a dark and darker video. chalk the run games dead

SkllSession: I think the problem is not the flip flop changes but the lack of willingness to learn from them. They've tried removing the attributes once, and then backpedaled from overwhelming negative feedback. What did they do here?

They lowered TTK massively, people disliked it, reverted the changes to increase TTK. What did they do here?

Made a class completely Overtuned, and added it on the current changes. Had to nerf it hard in the other

Korza.0: Yet they still aren't bringing back solo and duo. Games still dead

le0castle: A step in the right direction, but I won’t come back. It's just a matter of time until he reverts the reversal again.

Mustacheoro: mannnnn whatever. The devs have unfortunately been too fickle and lacking in direction to have my trust. Put 1.5k hours in and I haven't touched the game hardly at all in the last 2 wipes, save for when they had the solo self found at the start.

Necoy666: They went from a fun system with fog of war, randomized dungeons and slowly but surely closing the gap between max and min gear to just nuking it all to orbit, removing fun mechanics like FoW just cuzz some streamers disliked it and then once again made gear OP. Either make a dungeon crawler or an capitalism simulator but try to lean into the strengths instead of jojo'ing between different game genres.

drago2412: The only way to save this poor, abused little game is by reverting everything back to July last year, then firing or demoting sdf

JettMainsGaming: I have 4.7k hours in Dark and Darker reaching #2 fighter in season 5 by the end of the wipe I will not be going back to it unless SDF resigns or completely changes how the decision making is made at Ironmace I honestly feel robbed of my time while I did get my moneys worth of the game I’ll never be able to just go back to it like rust or League or Valorant those devs kept community driven updates going not selfish “Visions” they themselves have

longratthing5010: FLIP FLOP MASTERS

MylesSwi: It bugs me a lot that, like patch 69, they made the playerbase unhappy with a lot of negative changes, and then they roll back most

zagobous9300: I do find it really weird that the moment the playtest for The Midnight Walkers ended SDF makes an announcement that he's bringing back random modifiers for the game. I feel like he was paying attention to twitch that day heavily which is why he's been saying he's reverting it back. Maybe its just me.

VintageNarwhal: The best thing we can do for this game is stop playing it. Literally.

bigmike8586: Dude, 3/4 of the video was about the random zombie game. Don't title a vid to imply that it discusses Dark and Darker news/updates if it's just about some other game.
