Squawksx: I've played less than an hour since the semi wipe started. I cannot fathom fumbling the bag this hard after making arguably one of the best games of all time
SirShmoopyofAwesometon: Graysun listening to Nickelback in the top right during this sent me
cabbage11223344: SDF cooking instructions: Set oven on 3°F and preheat to 350°F for 7 months.
Once preheated to 350°F set oven to 975°F and place cooking item in until burnt.
Once burnt: forget you burnt it and repeat step 1.
barracktapus: W callout the on the sobad teaming in HR event, absolutely shameless. Also big W on identifying that its really only ranged classes vs melees that can 1v3. Its basically impossible as a melee lock or cleric or fighter to 1v3 if there's 1 ranged classes, only barb has a chance to if someone makes a big mistake because of morale.
user-yh7yd6ts5c: Game in good state > Take away things people like > people leave > Revert changes > people don’t come back
Repeat until player count goes from 50k to 1k
Gamerlife234: It’s fucking crazy to me the MOBILE version which is no longer affiliated with them any more has more interesting stuff then them. They have the shadow realm where you fight two hordes of enemy then a boss. Arena didn’t take years to develop with actual custom maps. They have a stat tree to be able to lean into different stats like more strength, agility, etc. and a really cool thing is the fucking soul stones where the normal ones can do stuff like more physical dmg but less armor, more healing from skills or bandages. Then there are the unique soul stones that have special effects like giving you a shield when not hit for more than 20 seconds. Just port the mobile version to PC they’ve done more than SDF and his vision. And I forgot to mention most weapons have a special skill
neojunglist: sdfs kitchen episode 1.
put eggs in the microwave
asKiFTW: sdf is like the spoofers mummies
partychip: W UrbanGent
ggWasNp: SDF is the fireworks salesman from Joe Dirt
SNUSNU4U: SDF is a drunk, which is why he continues to repeat himself over and over everytime he gets drunk around midnight in korea time (check timestamps)
zeuscaboose7202: I can save her. No cap if I called the shots this game would be so back. Hell anyone could do better
helgonet141: Game was advertised as hard and unforgiving, now they are trying to make timmys clutch 1v3, hilarous.
ziigii46: We don't learn here! We keep making the same mistakes until the game dies!
Jezath: You cant design a game and then follow through on that for 3 years to suddenly decide you been wrong the whole time and go back to square one but with a completly different direction intended.. you may as well sell the ip and make a new game if you wanna do that?
frankie310: Game is legitimately already dead in its current state. They have 1 single last shot to revive it because everyone and their mom is going to want to at least check out the new map. If streamers think and say the game/map feel good, people might actually come back. Couple hard barriers they need to take down:
Solos better be back, and they better do something about loot/endgame loop.
DJ_Treu: SDF is trying to mimic tarkov but fails to realize that guns make sense to be able to one shot someone when you hit them in the face, mideval combat not so much - even down to crossbows, theres historical records of people getting bolts pulled out of their faces or living with it in their head for a year then passing so.
StinkyBinky21: Honestly taking out solos was a terrible idea but I think removing the random modifiers was even worse.
paxconsciente3352: They should keep modifiers to one ish per item but gems only, no random rolls
JakeSquatch: The struggle in these types of games is what makes the success feel so great when it’s finally achieved. I don’t enjoy games like these because they are easy.. when you get stomped at first sure it may be a turn off for some people, but it will be a challenge for other people to put in the reps and do what it takes to achieve success. Get good sdf
And one taps are not skill expression..
GoBlizz: My opinion is the community has spoken already that they didn’t want this. (Patch 69) I think the only way we get what we want is to stay vocal to the devs, and NOT PLAY THE GAME AT ALL. Protest. Stand for what you love.
ratmanwarhammer: Legitimately, he needs to be tested for Schizophrenia and that's not some hate. I have a family member who was like this that would constantly "flip-flop" between jobs and we thought he was just giving up on them or being lazy but it was actually Schizo and now he has support he's 10X better and is actually having a proper life and proper career. maybe if he got checked and helped he wouldn't be so destructive to his own projects
Igwi: My humble opinion. Such radical changes that happened to the game, returning many elements "to the roots" and the times of early playtests were... cool? Don't get me wrong, the overall state of the game and the main part of the current semi-wipe is really very raw and requires extremely serious polishing, but I liked the general direction. In addition, SDF directly admitted all the problems and said that he wants to make the game, the way he and Terry want it, the way the company wants it and people who like these concepts should become the target audience. In fact, I am very sad to see that SDF gave in and obviously under the pressure of the emotional damage that he receives, it seems he decided to return some of the things (which also had a lot of problems at their core and in reality the number of active players began to sharply decline quite a while ago) that he removed precisely following his "vision". Probably, it is very difficult to seriously defend your right to make a game when the largest content makers behave like mentally ill, hysterical children. Lorr as a degenerate singing "Fire SDF" with a guitar made me firmly convinced that I don't really want to have anything to do with Dark and Darker, not because I don't like the game itself, but because I would simply be ashamed to tell someone that I am part of this game's community.
alfonsprimo: The part about skill has baffled me, what is he even talking about
Thevideogamejoker: Lets be real a lot of us said if they get rid of solos and duos this game will fail... Then they made gear absolutely pointless to begin with..... So on steam at the moment there is 3k online. That anime horse girl game has 18,000 on steam atm playing. Think about that a free to play game about anime horse girls racing has almost 6x the playerbase of dark and darker. Its also 10am east coast time so give it like 4 hours there will be few more 1000 players on that game where as dark and darker will probably still be at around 3000 - 3500.....
