chrishernandez1589: 3,800 hours as a solo / duo player. Been here since latest 1-2. It’s GGs for me if they do this

RonaldMcDonald-o5z: This game would actually be somewhere if they fired SDF 2 years ago. Clown dev.

Iamuhat: SDF is single handedly destroying the game

OsaV127: I bought this game with the intention of playing it solos and with 1 other friend. Removing the reason for me buying the game and getting told I don’t care go make friends by a streamer with hoarders of vetted players lining up for them…… just feels a little unfair

PapaGrimm: If iron base has taught us anything, it’s that if we just spam complain in the discord, they will just revert all the changes and we can keep hr solo

Constrict0r: Trios is dogshit. Remove trios and keep duos instead.

Rooster70: The actual solution is Eliminating map selection . Random map que would allow duo atleast. Problem is babies will cry about that too. If there is a problem that means the map needs to improve.

maxime5479: If for example this was an ice cream shop, if the favorite flavor was Strawberry, and 75% purchased that, whilst the remaining 25% split between 5 other flavors, would you remove strawberry from there so other flavors would be purchased? no, because people would then stop coming...its the same aspect here...

coldcoder3138: Yes, the game will now surely die, thanks to you, Todd.

The reason why was DaD more popular back then, is it was new, interesting, unknown, it didn't matter if it was duos or solos.

So yes, you are definitely coping.

chrisblazer718: SDF is completely deluded in his vision. SDF's vision is essentially just copying tarkov where they only have 1 queue and any party size can join that queue (up to 5). The problem is that dark and darker is a completely different game compared to tarkov. The TTK (time to kill) in tarkov is extremely low; 1 bullet headshot from the worst gun in the game can kill a player in the best gear in tarkov. But dark and darker is completely different, the whole fun of the game is the drawn out and intense PVP fights. If you just got 1 shot by any melee hit or spell the game would be terrible. In tarkov due to the short TTK its possible for a solo to kill a trio squad consistently if they outplay them. But in dark and darker its almost impossible for a solo to team wipe a trio team who are geared and know what they are doing. Futhermore, in tarkov there are a lot of disadvantages of loading in too big a group: far from enough loot per person, no name tags so team kills happen often and much more. Dark and darker on the otherhand has all kinds of synergy with trios team play: healing, buffs, name tags and revival stations. That makes it no feasible to play solo vs trios or even arguably duo vs trios. Thus its mandatory to have a full trio if you want to do well and progress at the same speed as others. So if you want a solo and duo player game dark and darker wont be for you.

JamstaHonnn: Thought the toddfather would be happy about this tragic update… what would the toddler do without two teammates carrying him..? obviously the game can be balanced around trios but entirely removing solo is just not the solution.

You also overlooked the most important mistake they made with this update, which is locking normal lobbies to common gear only . This means that a newer player has to level up to 20 to wear any loot he might’ve extracted with. Then that new player will be able to try risking his first pieces of equipment in HIGH ROLLER? Lol what?

Clearly you are locked in your pre-breeded mindset of « I’m the best fighter and I only play HR hurdurr » « W update iron mace focus on 3 hurdur »

The problem is at it stands, it’s literally impossible for a new player to join and pick up the game smoothly.

Zardos00R: Bad take. Solos is the most popular mode. Trios is literally the worst mode in the game xD

itisnukez: The people that are mad about this just aren't able to make friends that simple

tk20channel: I think we're all just burnt out on the same content for years and constant "all over the place". SDF Fatigue I'll call it.

NaokoFeiFei: I think getting rid of solos and duos might be the best option for the long-term life of the game.

They'll build player loyalty with the trios, then they'll add content and fix some balancing issues for the trios.

Without the solos and duos, and without worrying about them at all, they'll be able to move the game forward much faster than before.

I hope this game will live on even without me as a solo player.

Kevin..1: Just make Goblin Cave to a Solo, Frost mountain to a Duo and Crypts to a Trio map?

p3tro: They could keep solos and still do everything they wanted with trios and ignore it and solo players would be happy.

hottubtoohot5815: I dont understand why everyone is so agianst playing with other ppl? Solos is literally a dice roll if you get countered.

DiabloGoldSecrets: “They picked a direction” I look forward to checking back next wipe for the revert

Lerciezje: HR is dead not because of ques, but because only old time sweats actually enjoy cancer circle.

HR was populated prior to that change.

ANKLExBREAKERx: “You are not going to lose 1/3 of your player base off of this change” LMAO cap

jedigumby8417: Toddfather is the most out of touch dark and darker streamer

Michael-sg1of: This dude talks like he knows anything lol todd. Wake up

Grøøthen: can you make a comment on goblin caves being a solo map only? Frost caves / ruins could be trios only, or even duos or whatever. But any thought on goblin caves for solos only? and just leave it as it is - not balancing especially around it etc.

Hansdaddyslim: Based SDF, I can see his vision meaning far less gear checking and more engaging PvP.

LA-hx7iy: The recent changes were enough, why the fuck would we do This.

mrsstayalive: should of went back to crypts trios, ruins duos, and gobos solos
