iron-scape: I just want to bring greens into normals to have a bit of build diversity without having to be high roller

focusedphillip2716: Just switched over to stardew valley and I cant even start to describe how much fun I'm having. Forgot how much fun other games are than just dark and durkle

Asalent: I quit because of druid

michaelbyrnes9504: this video will have more views in 24hrs than players in the game

VintageNarwhal: The potential doesn’t FEEL wasted. It IS wasted.

Maxattack77: Graysun crashing out off the most offhand comment is pure gold

wanderingwind9601: For me- you’ve hit on so many important reasons why the game is suffering.

The game has become an FPS and not a fantasy dungeon crawler. It’s become such a meta slave game, and the constant balancing of classes is getting nowhere.

Honestly, i think a core issue with Dark and Darker is that they went with a class system. While class systems can work, the fact we have a rigid system with no progression and an asymmetric system of class stats (every class has 105 or so points or whatever it is so some classes have a much stronger spread) and asymmetric abilities (Druid, Warlock) that break the core loop… balance is just impossible.

themagicman7099: Tbh I don't think we can trust the devs to build a competent anti-cheat and enforce it regarding the dimo. Some of those clips are so incredibly suspicious it's not even funny. Remember they have about 60 developers and not a single one of them is qualified to create a container capable of holding a single item, arrows, according to SDF himself. I will admit, I do not know an incredibly large amount about game development. However, I have made a god dam fucking container before and to pin it on not having somebody who is skilled in making a quiver has to be the largest red flag I have ever seen in any development company. All he had to say was that it did not align with his vision instead of continually lying to his playerbase and discrediting his own staff's ability.

DirkTheDaringDnD: In regards to the whole Dimo thing, I think people are seeking the case to be reopened after Damood’s video where he brought some new information to light. I think the running theory is that Dimo has a semi large following and creates content for DaD and is thus considered an asset to Ironmace. Him playing the game and broadcasting it to audiences brings them attention and potential new players. The tin foil hat theory (which I think is entirely plausible) is that even if he was found guilty of cheats, Ironmace isn’t going to disclose that one of their biggest content creators is a hacker and would thus want to sweep it under the rug or just not admit it.

People who are asking to look into him I think want vindication of their suspicions that Dimo is a part of the “untouchable” class of players, players who could do no wrong, and would rather gaslight and target smaller channels like WilsonsGame to preserve their image. For ironmace it’s much easier to side with the larger channel that brings in more views and publicity to the game than Wilson. At the end of the day… it was IRONMACE’s internal audit of their system. Them and them alone have the power to say he did or didn’t cheat

SNUSNU4U: I can't wait for youtube documentaries on "the rise and downfall of ironmace" after they tank the game into the dirt.

gravitytft6637: I swear on everything that this game could have had its own niche in a POE style game with crazy abilities and weapons if they fleshed out pve mobs better. Such an interesting concept they have and they just cant figure out what to do to make it succeed.

مرتجىاكرم-س1و: Dark and darker have more problems than balance issue

XxClucthxX: The future Is just getting dark and darker

blakkelure: Playing the game for some time the first thing I realized would become a huge issue is the maps. There is mostly small tunnels with little room for rotation and flanking that does not involve aggro-training mobs from 2-3 other rooms on the map. The lack of freedom of movement forces people into a rock-paper-scissor encounter almost every time taking the fun out of the game. So the biggest sweatlords with the most meta builds will clutch down even harder taking away freedom and alternative playstyles.

Kingr4m: You gave the best summation of this game. It’s basically an FPS with no complexity on the PVE side. You can blitzkrieg through the dungeon, even with fog, because the mobs are practically brain dead to fight once you learn. They should’ve leaned into every aspect of an “adventure” game rather than focusing on PVP so much

dwarian5252: "stats on skins because we are releasing dwarf"

yet dwarf or goblin have not been released in at least a year, 8 months since I last heard it.

So do stats on skins really even matter?? The one excuse isn't even available and won't be for a while.

cashmere209: Who those 2 blocked though?? xD

ManhanaFox: I love how sparky speaks logically and actually thinks through the perspective of others. As people should, before criticizing anyone.

breal84: The vision hahahahahahah

takoda1273: bro after seeing how sdf and terry acted i dont have any faith in their "investigations" especially if it involves a big creator in the space that benefits them. ironmace doesnt seem to have any morals so i wouldn't put it past them.

RinandStyx: The steam playtest made me so excited. After when they announced that they plan to add additional separate maps, I could see a grand vision of 8 different games it could evolve into, each one unique in the current steam marketplace. Somehow they chose ever bad option and make it more and more generic with each wipe.

amberharvey4566: i quit dark and darker because of sorcerer tbh, its a dumb class that sucked all joy from the game for me , nothing like dying to a sorc that just spams dot spells and runs away.

TheNotaKai: lizard cooked and im eating it all

darppy6985: Shocker! Game dying after 3 years of no new content, basic promised features (quivers) and only changing a few numbers!

NZgoblin: no road map means no accountability

mewni2956: Taking Iron Mace words at face value after they time and time again stomped everyone's trust is definitely a bold choice. They saying the person that brings them a lot of revenue 'isn't cheating' means nothing, especially with recent developments.

mufcabbage7116: Cybersecurity cave dwellers mentioned now I’m happy at work listening to this feeling acknowledged
