[@TomEJSawyer]

The AP requirements to achieve demigod, after IM only releasing the rewards literally 1 week before the leadboards end, is absolutely criminal. -1.2k per match at exemplar is absolutely insane for the solo player who is not no lifing the game. Hopefully they realise this and look to make these rewards actually achievable for not just the hardcore sweats who are on 24/7.

[@BakedCanadian]

For real... the only real way to solo demi this wipe is to play fully kitted wizard on ice caves and rush every single module like a Nascar driver, nuking every mob on the map and killing 3+ wendigo's EVERY single raid to even get out with +100 AP, which is also extremely spawn dependant to do. It's insane, and this is the intended balance they say? My god have mercy.

[@cjhowland1308]

that and named items, my best friend has used 3 or 4 different ones but i would not sit on the game grinding 300 gold per extract when i barely get out to get one. theyre worth wayy too much and i get the rarity adds to the coolness but it isnt cool that i never see one in my hands. my friend says killing players is the way to make money but fuck that

[@WellDoneOnTheInternetEverybody]

Quest deadlines end by wipe, Graysun confirmed in gen chat.

[@theroaringgun9679]

Didnt really play much of this season compared to prior. I think multiclassing and their fuckery really swayed me away since the game has felt way more grindy than before.

[@average_psyop_enjoyer]

Yeah I completely stopped playing after I tried out the multi classing. Just not fun.

[@DontSubToMe425]

yup this is exactly why I quit tarkov and I was worried they'd do the same to dark and darker I just wanted something to play for fun and they turned it into this grindfest with huge gear gaps

[@DankManPlays]

Game is shit anyway, wooden hammer is beyond incompetent

[@mellowdarkness3344]

A little interested in your thoughts for a question I have, Ryan. Future players will not be able to gain old season locked races and cosmetics with how it looks currently. Me and a friend thought that blueshards should be used to buy these cosmetics but at a higher price than current store cosmetics and races available in blue shards. As blue shards is a method to reward people for sticking with it and having dedication, would you say that future players should be able to get these cosmetics in exchange for blue shards in the future?

[@MarvinGunkle]

That sounds like a great idea

[@Prime_Logos]

I think people should be able to keep their season rewards for every other season, so like season 1 rewards, go on the blue token shop in season 3. And season 2s in season 4. It's crazy to me that the game isn't out officially, and they are already making stuff new players can't get. Yea, because that's what new players want to see, cool stuff they can never have, because there's totally a large player base as is... 🤦‍♂️

[@greengangsta12]

Re-introducing cosmetic ranked rewards seriously devalues future rewards, why would I ever grind for rank when I can just bank playtime and buy them for blue shards later. Nah, exclusive cosmetics are exclusive for a reason, there are lots of other non exclusive cosmetics.

[@mellowdarkness3344]

@@greengangsta12 what about races then? Unless they release a paid race that is exactly the same stats of x race that isn't available. The ice skeleton and nightmare skeleton so far, have no alternatives for that stat-block. Despite how minimal their effects are, they still effect the game

[@TheRazeryan]

Good idea. Could potentially have previous season rewards as a selectable option for everyone. Each season, you can choose which rank reward you prefer, and include previous season items available for each rank 🙏👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@venomous7321]

I hate the devs for only releasing the rewards a week or two before the end of the season. So BM

[@TheRazeryan]

I disagree, but I can understand why that could be frustrating. Many of us may have been less focused on grinding the AP

[@venomous7321]

@@TheRazeryan I always think it’s going to be a dud season until the week before the season ends. So annoying. If they want me grinding ap they need to tell me

[@uvisblumbergs8911]

looks like the game might be down until the wipe XD

[@BakedCanadian]

​@@venomous7321 they'd rather blue balls the entire playerbase the whole season and then try to goat them back into playing for rewards a week before season ends, then proceed to push gamebreaking updates resulting in rollbacks and constant maintenance when people actaully want to come back and play 😂

@@BakedCanadian it’s so evil, they distracted me with multiclassing and now are punishing me for wanting to experiment

[@nithia]

I will say I like seeing cosmetic quest rewards as just about any other reward I have ever gotten I just vender anyway, but with it this late and behind such difficult or grindy (or both) other quests I dont see many people being able to get them. I know I am not going to get them as much as I would like to as I am barely even half way through all of the quests I would need to just get to the quest for the cosmetic. I might try to get the skelly skin but I am still on trying to get one of the early quests as I have just been getting boned on what I need to drop all season. Also if they are going to drop treasure for AP grinding then kills are going to need to be worth a lot more or they are going to have to lower the AP cost per run by a lot. At least with treasure if you find yourself in a mostly dead lobby you are not going to just lose like 1000 AP because you could only find one person to take out, and there are not enough mobs that you could kill in the time of one run to make up the difference either.

[@ryan6daysaweek]

I think we are seeing the upper end of their AP requirements this season so I agree and hope they either tune down the entrance cost or make it so you cannot lost AP if you survive a raid

[@Wolfyowns]

3:02 thank god! I hate the zone, i think its so boring it just forces you to rush and rush, cant go around and check map out or take some time looting. Its very BR like, not a dungeon like game. This being said, my FAV map is ice cave mainly because it doesn't have a zone. I look forward to no more zones!

[@jimbotron8552]

bro who cares about another blue campfire skin lol

[@DaDinkler]

This little notice on cosmetic rewards from new quests coupled with all this maintenance down time is ridiculous

[@ryan6daysaweek]

ideally I would like to see all Quest rewards skins released at the start of the season and then the ranked rewards released iteratively throughout the season. This of course would need a rework of the AP system

[@rubsome]

Would be really cool and much more engaging if they added a hideout, like a personal tavern or cave we can build up

Hi there quick question, Can I get the same character (Barb) twice to wonderer and get two different gold coin bags? Or do i have to get one of every class there?

[@ryan6daysaweek]

No, unfortunately the non cosmetic rewards (coints, potions, bags) are limited to one redemption per character. You can however create and rank a different character up to wanderer and receive the rewards on that one.

[@iams0ap798]

[@necrogem6405]

5:00 "Treasure provides ample compensation in gold" Why does it sound like he wants to make it harder? Even if they change it to be oriented around pvp, the grind will only become worse. They really need to reconsider what "Hard" and "challenging" means because this is just an unfun waste of time. PvP won't make it better if I win 5 games and die in 1 game and now have nothing to show for half the day.

[@edgardsimon9623]

Why they show reward AT the end of the Season -_-

[@rekrn12345]

They need to stop revealing the rewards AT THE END OF THE SEASON. We need to know what this shit is at the start.

Well it is early access and they don't know the rewards until the end that's why they wait. There are higher priority tasks

I’ve been taking a break for a little bit but I’m seriously not looking forward to coming back to Druid. I really don’t think it fits the game and think it will take an incredible amount of time to make it not look jank. Seeing the goofy animals and having to deal with all the different sizes just really makes me not want to come back. Hopefully they make it fit well but it just doesn’t seem like it will.

[@ryan6daysaweek]

I hope they are able to make the Druid fit seamlessly into the game. I agree that in its current state it doesn't really fit in mechanically and the near instant swapping of shapeshift forms needs to be looked at
