    I had forgotten the pov of the new player experience, but for after 2000+ hours of playtime what I like the most are the short moments of discovery - that's why content patches are great and multiclass while certainly flawed atleast gave people more things to experiment with.
    As a content creator I was waiting for a game like this for a very long time. It revived my passion for making videos and pushed me to try more things and learn new skills

      The autonomy to experiment and discovery is hands down what I look forward to in any game.
      I’m grateful for picking it up when I did since I know the OG players really went through a rough emotional rollercoaster. Content creation is an important view. It seems like balance changes happened so often that it gives a lot of room for creators.

    This doubles as my warning for new players but is there anything else we should warn them about?
    If you already been playing DnD just skip ahead lemme know your thoughts to my 7 stages or complaints you got about Dark & Darker? 😅

      Agreed, they do all the ux research & keep it transparent as they try to maintain a community.
      For multi-classing, the fact that they said “this feature said ‘coming soon’ for too long” so we just released to test” is admirable.
      Dungeon born devs are probably just taking note of everything not to do to while they get ready for their launch lol.

    1000 hours. Its crazy how it feels like a completely different game from when I first started. Everything was dangerous, half the modules/rooms where off limits as you KNEW you would die there. Meds where expensive. 30% of time you couldn't even leave the spawn, let alone extract. It was scary and exciting. And the absolute shit show when you came upon a enemy team. Now you know location of every chest, optimise the runs, know every enemy, every attack pattern, every room and the amount of mobs in it. I think they need to bring back the "surprise/excitement" factor in the game - randomising dungeon layouts, mob placements etc. Opening a door and not knowing, was the best part of the game.

    I’ve got around 1.5k hrs in the ea, started with the 2nd playtest so i prob have over 2k hrs in reality and I’ve been loving the game! Multiclassing was a breath of fresh air and they’ve stated multiple times before the wipe that this wipe was going to be crazy and them attempting to break the game to stress test the op multiclass builds! Ppl are freaking out over nothing they’ve got this shit under control it’s all going as planned just watch any podcast interview that Onepeg or the darkest hour did before this recent wipe

    I like that its a high fantasy setting with a low fantasy look. Like old fantasy animes like record of lodoss war, or other anime fantasy like jobless reincarnation.

    1700 hours. Played 5 classes to high level. Game play loop is so stale right now. High end lobbies are dead or have the gigachad streamers with absolute bis. My friends don't play as much so they can't keep up but I don't want to be associated with the teams that just spawn rush and don't let people actually play the game. Miss old days. You taking blue? Cool we going to boss have a good night. Then when you start to boss you need to lobby wipe or you're at a great disadvantage after killing boss. Can't count how many times I've been ganked/killed while doing boss and then they don't do the boss. Like ???? Just wait then get the boss loot off of us. Idk needs new content. Small dev team makes it hard. I don't think this game will be bale to reach its full potential without real financial backing and management. But im not a game dev. I don't know the answer. Just a passionate player.

      100% agree with everything you just said no point in doing half the things people do like why 3rd person people all the time and just ruin the game there's no more natural encounters everyone just runs people down and spawn rushes like can we go back to playing the game normally looting dungeons trying to boss ... yea pvp is fun but let it happen organically don't rush everyone's spawns in min maxed gear dude let's have fun again lol

    I have over 1500 hours in this game defeated every boss on HR and played at the highest competive level with high endgear and legendary weapons and i can say i hate this game and will not play it again. It has horrible balance,randoms uncontrollable deaths,some of the most frustrating rock paper scissor match up, gettin thirs party by a team while fighting another team within 20 seconds of entering a dungeon with your BIS lets not forget CREEP ability blows my mind how a dev can add no foot steps sounds in a full loot pvp game and also time to kill is too short gear is too strong movement speed is king and this game is slowly dying holy shit i needed to get this off my chest haha thanks

      ​@nyleaugspurger4891 he's right tho lol nobody wants to deal with that shit it's stressful nobody just plays the game no more and let's pvp happen organically nah they either gotta spawn rush or chase people through 8 different rooms past 50 mobs for a kill that they probably won't even take the gear from

    • @saint_kendrick
      @saint_kendrick  2 месяца назад +1

      @ItsAbility This is a fact. I can’t lie - there are times where I’ve been down bad a few runs & switch into my villain era seeking PvP in casuals. Doesn’t help when the quests are class specific too.
      I don’t consider myself good enough for HR BIS PvP so I’m typically more chill in HR. hopefully the addition of PvP focused lobbies will help feed that itch & let the casual people just enjoy the natural progression of PvE / PvE.
      But realistically on Ice Cavern, the people who are rushing treasure room know what they are getting themselves into while everyone else on the outskirts tend to experience that natural progression & have a good time.
      @creepyoutdoor4451 I don’t blame you nor do I have the emotional strength to keep playing after getting third partied to some rat after grinding for BIS. Honestly there’s no reason footsteps should be completely silenced

    800 hours in game i love the game and hate it at the same time the biggest problem imo peoples mentalities and just people being assholes why does everyone have to run the most broken op multiclass builds with the most broken comps like do these kids even have fun playing or do they have the calculators out making calculations before every game and every play...what happened to fun lol nah i guess just trying as hard as possible and never seeing the sun is fun now

    • @saint_kendrick
      @saint_kendrick  2 месяца назад

      I feel like I really need to flip a mental switch between having fun and sweating lol.
      As a min/maxer at heart, the games unforgiving learning curve is definitely what drives people toward the one-trick broken builds. Plus the time needed to “get good”
      I hope in the future with a higher player base the matchmaking should be better to avoid the people getting stomped on in early game where they feel like they need a broken build. Also if they add a PvP mode for that audience maybe it’ll help.
      Personally, I’m not gonna sit here and calculate for the best PDR etc so I really just enjoyed picking up loot & rolling with it which has always been more fun to me.

      I feel that, I kinda hated it at first until I made some fun wizard x warlock builds but the broken builds were broken as hell in an admirable way lol. I’ll never forget this warlock/cleric that had every magic healing available & couldn’t die. Surely they’ll fix that…. Surely
