More videos like this need to be made, because when I got into the game I always thought that purples meant I was dead no matter what I did and for people to see that you can overcome the odds will give them confidence going under geared in games
Still can be that. A purple gear "designed build" will absolutely wreck lower kits. Druid panther with stacked agility and vigor as an example. The most fun you can have without huge power gaps is definitely in the 25 - 124 range rn.
The game is sick. However im kinda tired of the cheese. For ex mobs in front of doorways or in front of ladders. So many times i get fully kitted up and dont even die to a player bc of all the shit i gotta dodge. Arena cant come soon enough @lokai765
A high skill ceiling does not a good game make, at least not alone. Just because someone can invest thousands of hours into a game learning it's complexities doesn't make those complexities objectively good or even subjectively fun. I'm not saying Dark and Darker is bad, it has redeeming qualities, but it's filled with questionable design choices, obtuse game mechanics, inconsistent developers who flip flop on design decisions, and it has toxicity issues like any other multiplayer game, especially ones that have PvP functionality.
I would perform a holy ritual if it meant getting NotLikeThis hired by IronMace & made responsible for balancing as well as some other big picture stuff
"it's okay, it's a mess in our favor" is such good communication man reassuring, wholesome, encourages team to focus, while also not disagreeing to avoid hostility
The amount of work you put into getting different POV’s footage and the editing you put into this is very impressive, great vid! Effort does not go unnoticed
I'm an indie game developer who works on a moba that has very fast moving characters. People don't realize how much lag there is in online games, even with a ping of just 60-90, the difference in client and server position when viewed side-by-side can be quite surprising. This leads to a lot of moments where players feel "cheated", but that's just the reality of latency in online games.
Love the format and the Fight explanations :) But I think solos would be better for this series, especially because you focus a lot on the gear u buy. First fight for example was really well played, but I feel like your 200g kit did not have any impact as the Fighter pretty much played it perfectly with his purple Halberd. Damn I love the Halberd...
The work you put into this video is amazing. All I see from others are reaction clips from random, out of context fights. Can be kinda funny, but actually getting a fight break down with the thought processing is GOATed. Thanks for this.
I like the way you break down fights like this. I try to explain to my friends how to think of every situation in a tactical way and think of the cause/effect before making a decision. Instead they just hold W key and M1 as soon as they see anyone and then cry that the enemy is more geared when they get outplayed or resort to blaming me. Then they load up Apex Legends or some other slop while calling this game bad. Now I queue solo as a bard player lol, oh well
As a newer player who hit the blue rank in solos and then got stuck, this is a really comprehensive guide to not only build mistakes but also insight into what gear actually effects what and how to bring gear to increase necessary stats. Me and my buddy watched through this yesterday and were amazed by the level of skill you have as well as your knowledge. 💪
Yeah, the fact you can't attack in the Dreanwalk state, but you still do damage with an attack you started before the change is a real pain. Not for the Druid, I'm sure they love it.
God I love Rey, the report is absolutely hilarious. You, Rey, Y4mi, TheLorr, Repoze and ryan6daysaweek are definitely my favourite creators of all time.
Okay, first off, I found you from the podcast with Jay just yesterday. This is the first of your youtube videos I'm tuning in for, and holy shit this is some good stuff. In the podcast you kept getting talked over but I thought you had some good points of discussion that I wished had more air time, now seeing your content I'm realizing that podcast would've been GOLD if you had the right set up for topics. Great stuff dude! Keep this up, you've earned another fan
i mean, it did look like he was cheating, due to the wonkiness of the deathcam. Even notlikethis said so. its a justified report, whether it was correct or incorrect. nothing will happen to him because he wasnt actually cheating
@@shaboingboing799 notlikethis wasn't even the one that killed him. Also, everyone knows Death Cams are dog shit. Especially RetroRay the guys been playing this game since release. That's not a good indicator of if someone is cheating or not unless it's something super obvious.
Incredible content, I'm glad to see that skill expression is so much more important now that gear has calmed down. It almost seems like IM took your suggestions video to heart a bit. I would love to see way more of this it was both extremely informative and really goddamn cool
NGL, that video with commentary + explanations for each fightd is very intersting, we can learn techs and decision making process there which is barely possible by looking only gameplay !! u get one new sub from me !! GG
I know the Barb recognized his mistakes and approved the clip and all that, but the "I lost, therefore they must be cheating" is exactly the sort of thing a a player who over relies on good gear would say.
Haha this is a great video man. I liked how you played in ways that are more strategic and gives you an advantage + breaking down each step through the video made me think about some/many errors of my own. I also watched a different video which explains to not focus on getting good gear because good ≠ better. Anyways here is a sub + like
Loved seeing the streamers reaction, Geared and thinking he was going to kill two noobs, dies and cries about you being terrible (despite you clearly outplaying him so what does that make him exactly?) and calls cheating to cope xD
dam whata video. Would def watch more of this type of thing. I love the fight breakdowns. its what I send to my friends cuz they don't be understanding this is way more than just dodging and baiting spells, you need to do a lot of extra "little" things to be successfull consistently
Yeah the average gamer who hasn't played this game much (yet) probably misses so much when watching a clip from it. There's so many small things going on and minor decisions being made which can affect the entire fight.
whoever the fighter with the halberd is hes insanely good lowkey the mvp/allstar of the team hes nasty with that halberd and has great reflexes and awareness
Nice video and playing. fun. Tried this game a few days , 1 kill / 8 death , 1 survive, as a noob ranger. Below is How i got Died. a note for a noob old autistic gamer. First, i am a kind of person who loves to read the manuals first before playing (in since '90 ish Super Famicom, SNES games). i am an old bad gamer with 2012 ish PC. Me, 10 mins. Yes, game intalled, runs well, Let's go, Me, 20 mins. No manual, No Tutorial !? OK. trials and errors. +++ How is my life in DaD +++ + i didn't know , i needed to touch the lever to activate the Lift in frost cave. Yeti ? killed me. + Team preparing for the raft. They tried and told me to save me. But, i got failed, Because of , i lost in darkness and got feared river..., and miss their words with my terrible English skill. Finally i understood when i see they are on the river. i did dash , leap to the raft, failed, under the water, alone. gg. + i didn't know the Speed DeBuff Mechanics, and Speed advantage for wielding torch. (i thought Speed DeBuff is temporally only WHEN players swing it , drink a potion. But not, Spd Debuff is ALL THE TIME , while they grips things. So, i needed to wield a torch more freqency, if i really run in dark road. it would help me i can run faster , never lost a way with team, never fall off the ledge... i Learned well. P.S. i never knew wielding torch gives me BEST Speed and Best Sight. it should be told in Tutorial or somewhere.
i dont understand tho, when i first read "become spiritual, phasing through targets and becoming invulnerable", i was pretty sure - if you are in dreamwalk, you cant hit (because you phase through enemy, duh). Then why tf you can still 'hit' the attack that you started before going into dreamwalk? Thats sounds like bug to me, and using it is just exploiting imo.
6:21 "in conclusion everyone played very well except for druid" dude u literally did nothing in fight (ur friend killed both of enemies) and u didnt heal him in the end and he died to goblins poison. like wtf
The earthquake which enabled the Barb pick was nothing? Healing him once and being right there for the followup on panther if he lived was nothing? Clearing and rezzing so we can both get the loot was nothing? It might be less flashy, but teamwork wins fights.
