Just started playing this game yesterday and really enjoying your fun and lighthearted approach to it. It's easy to feel discouraged, but not if you're laughing about it!
A lighthearted approach, especially for a game as difficult for beginners as this, is the best way to have a great time and keep learning in my opinion! Playing with friends or finding someone to play with in duos and/or trios is also a great way to make it a fun experience even as a complete noob! 😁
Oh thanks a bunch mate! I LOVE your 3d Dark and Darker models you made available to the community! I've used some for my thumbnails you might have noticed! 🥳
One thing I would recommend to you as a beginner is that plate boots, while giving you strength, make you much easier to detect by other players in the lobby. Typically if I want strength on boots, I tend to go for the heavy boots
If you ever want a Bard/Wizard that has 500+hours I'd love to join you in the dungeons! I'm somewhat obsessed with this hardcore, punishing, extremely frustrating but rewarding game! kingpeach in game I believe
Remember that if you use a campfire-it heals you and if you sit down for a full grey one it gets your second wind back!! Crazy new jimlington tech unlocked!! 🎊
Your attitude is amazing and so needed when learning this tough game. So many people expect to be able to do everything they want but you understand its just hard. keep it up
Hey with the shield its best to block upwards vs archer mobs because they always aim for your head (unless its a double shot then its head then body) and with players its easier to block towards their weapon holding hand is
Short one today lads because of time constraints due to preparations for my operation on Wednesday May 29th! I wanted get at least something out and will be back and ready to fully dive into Dark and Darker after a (hopefully) quick recovery! See you on the other side! 😎❤ - Jim
Have you thought about creating something like a discord where we can talk with you about the game and other things in general as I'm loving the content and I would personally love to grab some of your thoughts regarding the game as a new player. It could also help for speedy responses and assistance with your dungeon crawling knowledge as I have been loving your content. Also I hope your operation goes well, hope its quick and easy
@@goflyaway that's a really interesting idea, I hadn't thought of that until now! I'll try and look into it and maybe gauge the interest in a Discord once I'm back in full swing!
Good luck with the operation Jim! We eagerly await your return, hope everything goes well and you have a speedy recovery. I also really like the idea of a discord for your channel, just a small community for us to hang and squad up together when the wipe hits next week <3
this video had me laughing all the way through, reminded me of the days when i first started playing. they were the most fun for sure. hope you enjoy the game and continue to play it
Thank you so much for posting this. I'm the VA for Bodhi Hogan and I was away on work when this event happened in-game so didn't get the chance to record this. Glad I got to see it thanks to you! :)
As someone who barely got to play the game because of network issues, I'm SO glad someone bothered to record some of the story stuff because that's the sort of thing that get's ME the most hyped! Because of how little I got to do of these quests, I don't know if anything extra was revealed/ hinted at DURING the completion of these quests (as in, stuff said/ shown outside of cutscenes). So I'd be most grateful if you could include anything possibly story related found during gameplay! I certainly didn't expect Bodhi of all people to betray GRAIL... though then again I didn't get to do much of the story to even see the hints, though looking through these cutscenes it certainly feels pretty heavily implied...
@@JimMcChop if you find bucklers with +armor rating they're really good to use and sell for a lot no matter the rarity, super light at only -7 movement speed and can have as much armor rating as a Pavise(the huge shield you can prop up like a barrier) with a good property roll, they have the highest block rating in the game, every weapon will bounce off and cancel their ability to combo the strike. (except maybe a barbarian using warmaul with crush? not sure on that specifically)
I'm not even going to think about high roller just yet, I want to enjoy the sweet taste of victory in normals at least a little bit before I go and get my ass handed to me once again 😂
