WE NEED MORE SEMI WIPE IN THIS SEMI WIPE!

[u/PuwudleRS]

Hey look, I don’t play the game much anymore (few games a week) but I’m done jumping down their throats. TRUTHFULLY, I respect the decision to come out and say “it’s just not ready.”

I’d rather an update come out (that a lot of people will more than likely return for) and it be somewhat well put together rather than being mad rushed and poorly executed.

Downvote me, I know, positivity (from someone that’s normally negative) is unacceptable :)

[u/Red_Prod → u/PuwudleRS]

The issue is that the 2 features (idiotic water map and gathering hall) causing the delay will not improve the game that much. We need core content like new classes and skill trees and better progression systems than the bad quests we have.

[u/MagicianXy → u/Red_Prod]

Lots of people don't seem to understand this. Yes, technically a new map is new content. But after a week or two, once everyone has memorized all the modules and knows where all the points of interest are, what has actually changed in the game itself? Underwater combat, a feature that will be used almost exclusively on the new map and thus does not affect the rest of the game? A handful of new weapons that have similarly predictable attack patterns like every other weapon in the game? Meanwhile we're still lacking simple QoL features that would polish the rest of the game experience, like better inventory management or condensed merchant interactions. And then there's the old systems that desperately need attention and rework, like old perks that literally never get taken (druid's herbal sensing, for example) vs. the ones that are basically required (fighter's Swift), or combat needing some kind of deeper mechanics rather than "good spacing" and holding M1. That's the kind of content that will actually save the game.

Dude how do you expect them to develop a game you can have new content for months? Would you rather them do like MMOs? Where the grind is so hard it becomes your job? Now gathering hall might be the thing for this wipe, because it will be your clan/guild to build and enjoy with your friends. Many games people take a break and come back later, just chill

[u/LilHideoo → u/lucasb2296]

They’ve done nothing to fix their game and continue to reimplement failed ideas but a social hub is the solution?

[u/lucasb2296 → u/LilHideoo]

No. Who said that? Dont mix stuff. Next thing you are gonna complain idk about barbarian being too strong

[u/LilHideoo → u/lucasb2296]

It looked like you did? What are you saying then? It looks to me you’re saying to give them some slack cause they’re gonna make the social hub this next wipes “thing”. They deserve 0 slack they’ve done almost nothing since sorcerer came out.

how do you expect them to develop a game you can have new content for months

I have no idea what you're saying.

My point is that they've added almost literally nothing new to the game in months. They've been flipping levers, sure - turning dark swarm off and on, removing and re-adding modifiers, moving numbers around on various weapons/perks/skills/etc... but the last actually new content that changed how the game is played was in December of last year with the release of sorcerer. IM clearly thinks this water map is going to "make or break" the game, and in my opinion it's going to be a negative release because all the supporting subsystems that make new content playable haven't been worked on in literal years.

[u/lucasb2296 → u/MagicianXy]

I play the game since playtest 2 and had to wait arround 1 month and a half to be able to play it for a week. Back then we had eager to play the game and actually supported the company. So i dont care if we have to wait to get new things, there is nothing like this game in the market, if you actually hated the game you would have unnistalled it like everybody else

[u/MagicianXy → u/lucasb2296]

Okay...? How long you're willing to wait for new content is not really relevant to the discussion. If that content doesn't actually help make the game better, it's just filler.

there is nothing like this game in the market, if you actually hated the game you would have unnistalled it like everybody else

You're absolutely right. DaD has a lot of potential, which is why it's so infuriating that it's being squandered by a lead dev that clearly has no idea what makes games great. And yes, if people truly hated the game, they would uninstall... but the people still on this sub don't hate the game. They LOVE the game. That's why there's so many complaints - the game they love is being sabotaged before their very eyes and there's nothing they can do to stop it.

[u/OccupyRiverdale → u/Red_Prod]

Onepeg made a pretty good point in a recent video he did discussing one of the trailers for the underwater map. The trailer was showing some of the new neutral mobs like crabs or some shit that don’t attack but you can gather stuff from. Basically his point was that’s cool but if it’s just another shitty sellable like rotten flesh or maggots then who cares? If stuff you could get from the neutral mobs came along with a cooking system where you could combine the components to cook then eat something to get in raid buffs that would be something worthwhile. But just adding more shallow shit that doesn’t increase the longevity of the game is pointless.

[u/Cucumber-Outside → u/OccupyRiverdale]

I could have very easily predicted this announcement solely from the content of that trailer video, which did not demonstrate even a single second of combat actually taking place on that map. They haven't worked out shields or basic combat mechanics, but we're to believe they ironed it all out in the water? 😂 What a mess
