Man you hit the nail on the head when you were talking about there being no great equalizer like Head Eyes in Tarkov existing in this game, because in Tarkov as long as you play well you have a chance in pretty much every scenario you come across, but in this game there’s so many times where you either run into a class that directly counters you or a super geared guy you have no chance of beating. I don’t think Ironmace is ever going to find a way to rectify this issue sadly

Never be afraid to speak your mind about things, whether you expect people to agree or disagree - I love hearing what you have to say about the game even if you think some of your opinions are controversial. The prevalence of Rogues in solo combined with the bigger maps in solo rotation (i.e., more places to be ambushed from) has made me want to play HR less now than ever, but I still have good faith in the developers to focus on making the gameplay fun and fair. Looking forward to another year of dungeon crawling, and all the good and bad that will inevitably come with it.

Glad you are making different content since I always come here to watch anything you make, even if I don't go to twitch often. Found you through DaD, so will forever be grateful towards that game, but your new (additional) channel seems like a good investment (don't put all your eggs in the same basket, especially if the basket isn't structurally super sound) Plus I don't bother even coming back since the ping lock means I probably won't be able to play with my friends in and around Asia, all because of that one country that ruins all online games...

Totally agree, I've been out ever since they buffed ranger for some weird reason, the game is not enjoyable with that + landmine rogues back. Hope they find a way to balance things out and make it playable and fun for everyone else

This is a great video and I've seen a few of yours. It seems like we're in the same mindset as far as dark and darker goes. Me and my friend started playing this game on alpha when it first came out. I have mained barbarian just because I have always like them in all aspects not even in dark and darker. This game is built around speed and range I think they don't have either. I hate how easily rouges have saturated the lobbies and games because most of them just run through all pve and PVP plus the buffs they can get is insane damage even for me. I'm the last of my friends still playing for numerous reasons. I love this game at the core of it. It's a beautiful game

It is frustrating that we have gone full circle around landmine rogues and long bow rangers that can 2 shot you easily. Things that the community as a whole hates and agrees it is anything but fun. I understand that the devs are juggling with multiple issues but i do hope they can make it work.

@@Lfmyjaw Big dif between hard counter & advantage. Most fighting game matchups are 60/40 and that's fine because there's so much player expression and methods to deal with disadvantage. Also, disadvantage state in Dark and Darker doesn't just mean losing a 90-second round fight it means losing whatever gear you had + all the loot you've gathered thus far... The problem is when you can't see yourself hardly EVER winning a certain matchup assuming equal gear and health. There are many unwinnable situations of getting invis 3 tapped or Ranger trapped or Wizard spell spammed. These situations almost rob the player's agency like a cheater does. When it's Fighter / Barb / Cleric fighting each other any one of them can win based on their gear / playstyle / positioning / blocking ability, etc. When a Fighter goes against a Wizard that's able to slow + Fireball + Fireball or 6 other combos into death and the only option is to hit 2-3 bow shots, making them easier to hit while knocking the arrow.. It's nearly an unwinnable fight unless there's shannagains. The fighter needs to hit every shot before death and the Wizard can keep casting spells as long as they have the memory for it.

I mean i think rogue could be a really fun class without stealth. The glass cannon archetype is almost always the most used (and complained about) in all games. Also make smokebomb a ranged spell so they can smoke themselves/their team or throw it on ranged classes to close the gap (but maybe take out the slow from it)

Been maining rogue this past hotfix after never playing it before. Daggers are insane with the double perks and ambush does wayyyy too much damage. 50% is crazy. Literally 2 or 3 tapping everyone thay walks into me its playing the game on easy mode. Make ambush like 10% or just delete it, the fact that you get the first hit or two for free if you play it right is enough of a bonus imo.

As an avid rogue main I respectfully oppose your opinion, the strength with rogue is your ability to choose fights and take fights with an advantage. We have these perks with extra damage due to the nature of the class. If we have no burst dmg how do we ever win in fights with low health. It’s also very different in high ranked play where rogues have to play so meticulously just to perform at another classes level. Wizards and warlock haves built in tools for detection while classes like cleric, fighter, and barbarian almost always beat you even out of ambush. Been playing since the third playtest and I believe rogue is genuinely in a good spot right now.

well said. good fights

Can you make the 20 minute TED talk about the game? I also, i have found that this game alone has captured that lightning in a bottle feeling. The heart pounding moments then you think your safe, turn the corner and then your in a fight, fighting for your life and loot is so thrilling. Lastly, fuck rogues

Finding that "Fun zone" is what made the Halo franchise, back in the day from Halo:CE to Halo Reach it was all about having a bit of fun.

good vid spuddy. i stopped playing like 2 months back due to the massive imbalances that are ingrained in the classes right now. you are correct, a strictly rock-paper-scissor style of hard counter is not enjoyable or longterm viable for an FPS extraction style game. i stepped away because only one or two classes were strong in every situation and my main classes continually got hardcountered in almost every scenario. keep it up ill be watching whatever content you create bro.

i feel like rogue got a buff that made it playable but they gave it a double buff by buffing the dmg of the daggers and the dagger mastery buff

the first clip LMAO was the actual sweating gamer meme his face LMAOO

he does sound like david spade though. david is hilarious and his podcast with dana is great.

One thing, even on DnD they had to fix rogues and insta kill stuff like that. 5th edition did it, in general. Like, for the simple reason that an NPC could be a 2tap rogue. Or players playing rogue could go rogue (xD) on their own party, killing them and looting their shat. So, what I mean is: even on dnd ( the base or core of most modern RPGs) it was needed to overlap a bit the classes, like you referred, to nullify unfun/unjust stuff. And probably is the best solution since these unfun mechanics come from the lack of response from the other classes, for example: ranguers vs slow melee-only classes. On a distance rangues win. Simple. So, how you fix that? You give rangue options to those classes and vice-versa. Yes, ranguers gonna be better, but there is options and play into it, you can counter. Sneaky 2tap rogues, might be harder to balance but one thing I believe, and I might be wrong, is, they shouldn't be able to 2tap heavy armour classes as it isn't very realistic. Even for Dungeons and Dragons. So, now mages and warlocks just need a way to "find" rogues, like bards have: debuffs and exposing. With this, rogues need to be smart about ambushes, like they should, but also can later gain more on other stuff, I dunno. Another point I remembered, normally when RPGs don't balance those rules you described it tends to go on a slippering slope of game design, breaking everything. For example: Arxs Fatalis, it's an amazing RPG but mages were OP while rogues were trash. Mages rules didn't scale like the rest and easily broke the game, while rogues didn't had that many kits or mechanics to counter NPCs. So, yes a singleplayer game, but you couldn't play rogue. Another example: Old School Runescape. Mages game-rules are different from warriors or arches. their dmg scales very poorly compared to cost efficiency yet they have the best mobility. but it doesn't matter for combat. So, again, unchecked rules made Old School hostage of its own design, and one of the three classes isn't even a support, mages are a niche. That's not fun. Right? You can't play combat with magic, you are very gated. Anyway, just to back up your opinion/argument. Good video mate! Note: the edit was to refer more games, RPGs, with this problem and fixing typos.

I totally agree on the balance issues and don't think there should be a class that is a massive glass cannon that also has the ability to get the drop on others.

On top of rogues being broken, Barbarians can just equip the right abilities and become cheetahs or an absolute tank with default and still kill a semi-geared player no worries. Warlocks can just get a decentish staff and then one shot anyone so long as they shift W. Rangers can get a good longbow or just put down a trap and then counter an entire solo lobby. < Managed to kill three geared teaming chin... players, with just traps by myself as a default ranger. Mind the fourth player thankfully realised what was up and helped me kill the last two teamers. So yeah, possibly some balancing issues hahaha.

Fighter- Can't use Ranged weapons while wearing Plate Armor Rogue- Make invis like Halo Active-Camo, hard to see but not impossible Barbarian- Cap Franchis Axe at 4, you can only have 4 at a time.... not 16+ Ranger- Half the duration of being caught in a trap, make them appear larger on the ground so they actually can be spotted. Wizard- let them haste themselves again, but lower the speed boost slightly when casted on themselves. Warlock- give them more vigor so they aren't quite as squishy and don't get two shotted by nearly everyone. Cleric- they seem like they are in the right place, strong but not obnoxious. Bard- get rid of the drum throwing nonsense, make them less shite?

The Schlong joke quota was acceptable. However the fart jokes were lacking. I suck at games in general, and have not played DnD for anus, but I might give it another go.

This is such a solid opinion right here. I fucking love this game and everything about it from the gameplay to how the community is so passionate. I really do wish this game survives. There hasn't been something this brilliant in a long time.

i miss being a naked fighter and exploring the dungeon, getting into wacky pvp, and clutching an escape. Now i queue up, farm gold, and sweat to not get 1-3 tapped by the entire lobby, all to spend 45 minutes in trade chat because all i find are shit weapons with spell memory. Builds only matter if it gives you an edge in pvp, resourcefulness especially is a dead stat. There are only two support classes and they both suck to play imo. game's feeling like an fps battle royale / janky overwatch and the community still playing is the most toxic ive ever seen. I plan on quitting and coming back every patch just to get my fix but the magic is gone.

This game WAS my favorite game
