The Darkest Hour - Episode 80 ft. DripGravy & PartyChip | A Dark and Darker Podcast

[@partychip]

Dude this podcast was so much fun. Sorry bout my Grandpa asking Jay if it 'clapped' when he 'walked up the stairs.' Maybe it was the penjamin talking. Seriously tho thanks for having us back on Soma ❤

[@Proximusシ]

You’ll pay for what you did to Mr crafter…

[@chickennuggets6283]

valid question tho

[@_Soma]

Was great having you on, sir!

[@dripgravy1642]

Thanks for having me on again! Had a bunch of fun

[@_Soma]

Was a pleasure, sir!

[@nickd8174]

@dripgravy1642 has a bunch of videos where he is fake friendly and then ultimately betrays the other players. Sometimes he even drops Timmies a really rare item before he betrays them. This behavior is antisocial and mean. I would not recommend this streamer.

[@dripgravy1642]

@@nickd8174 did you listen to the podcast brother? Soma talked about how he did the exact same thing on day z hahaha.

Thank you Soma for 80 episodes your the man

[@_Soma]

Thanks my dude ❤

[@NicoGami]

probably the most fun podcast so far and jay was talking too

[@BigPandazTTV]

Insane bro, he looked like he even reached for a light switch one time

[@matt-z5j]

If I was the CEO at ironmace: - hotfixes on wednesdays and not fridays, when most people are gonna be playing. - fog of war should be shared with teammates.

[@insertnamehere2752]

Bruh that Smeagle impression was amazing

[@Hansdaddyslim]

Wow Soma’s Sméagol was insane agahahahah

[@JimSimFtw]

Banger episode, darty grip are hilarious

[@oggieson]

I've heard lots of bad things about Drip because of the fake friendly stuff lol. Drip mega chill. Glad you had him and chip back on. This was a good episode. #nerfweaponmastery Also I agree about the solos stuff. Solos is 2/10 game. Literally the worst way to play Dark and Darker. I play only with viewers now for trios lol. Compared to solos, trios is an 8/10 game and this wipe has been a lotta fun for me just playing to have fun and not pretend the game is in a good competitive state.

[@cabbage11223344]

Ruins should be the map selection map. Where go south lower the draw bridge and it brings you to goblin caves. Or take the bridge north and you're in the frost caves. Or take the standard red stairs down to the crypts.

[@d4nnydoux]

Ruins randomization but still have the NSEW directional extraction toward the map you want would be insane.

[@seaturtleman]

Same day uploads are very nice thank you Soma

[@greentext2345]

Another massive problem with continuous dungeons especially for goblin caves is taking static right when you join a match seeing where everyone is and then loading back in. Might not be a problem for other regions but for OCE it is the only way people are playing right now.

[@chongor925]

Listened to this on a 1 hour flight. Enjoyed every second :)

[@davicioso47]

this has got to be one of the best episodes

[@mossThrow]

always love these podcasts, keep up the good work Soma!

[@Legotimebomb]

Great chill podcast, brother. A good listen while working. Keep up the good work.

[@_Soma]

Thanks, my dude o7

[@silversy9031]

wtf. never seen this "partychip" guy but hes like really making me laugh a ton. might have to check him out

[@ImKingRs]

Been watching his streams for about 3 months now and he is by far my favourite streamer. Very entertaining

[@travislubbeck316]

He’s the best! He does all of his streams while working his shift at McDonald’s. The dude is a beast!

[@Bepo__D.A.D]

This pod at work saves the mental thanks soma!

[@banditoexe]

God I kinda wish I kept with streaming. Did it for a couple months but working full time and trying to stream for as long as possible every day was so hard... maybe I'll get the chance again and maybe be able to hop on the pod lol. Keep it up lads

[@DavidDeFrain]

Great podcast soma, I started out this episode as a gravy hater as he fake friendlied me once and I still managed to Jill him. By the end of the episode I have forgiven him, the Taco Bell story won me over.

[@sekotsandbocaj]

They need to add more caster mobs. Healers or different variations of the skeleton/goblin mages

[@TheMightyJenkins]

Thank you soma for the great pod. Gonna try drpped gravy on my party chips now

[@Joel-wj9ql]

Number 1 issue to fix is rejoining previously played matches. Aside from this major issue the continuous system is amazing

[@JSON_bourne]

Solid update. playing consistently again for the first time since s03. got a banging arena kit and 26k in frost ore stored up.

[@JimSimFtw]

Rich man first wipe back!

[@JSON_bourne]

@JimSimFtw lol it was one night of farming. Ran cyclops like 30 times in one night

[@Schleimig]

PARTY CHIP YIPPEEE

[@tonychopper3751]

Great fucking episode. I love these two guys they are so funny.

[@SamHeartsHalo]

Didn’t realize I’ve been giving gamers ptsd on chiv and mordhau ☠️🤣

[@yolover111]

Praying for 3rd skill, but most importantly SKILL TREES, I cant stress enough. How is this not out yet... sdf and terry taking their sweet time.

[@iHateGenZweebs]

Damn I watched this whole thing instead of doing anything else with my life. W episode, indeed.

[@burgundy-me5hs]

Solid episode boys. I wanted to mention when you guys where talking about Ruins I think they need to also up the loot in the middle room after Spectral and Banshee on HR it's so underwhelming. I was farming it with the boys for a couple days and the best item we got was a unique crossbow. Oh and also bring back gold ore put it behind boss doors on Ruins or Inferno.

[@shockedb]

gold storage is awesome. most addicting part of the game

[@CriticalVics]

We always bring up weapon clashing but you can't even block and parry consistently cause of server issues. We don't need more complexity We need shit to work they way it looks like it should

[@Suudotv]

They should make it to where if you die in a lobby you can’t join back in it.

[@d4nnydoux]

Been saying this

[@Jay-ce2qu]

Where can I find the Art of Infiltration videos?

[@_Soma]

That channel was hacked and stolen many many years ago - those videos might be floating out there somewhere but I'm not sure.

[@MrGodPowered]

Love the content bruther. Can you please please please say something to the team about the server issues. sometimes my game plays 100% perfectly fine and other times i just spend the entire time rubber banding. it happens like 2-3 days out of like every 2 weeks where I just can't play the game. My friends also experience the exact same thing.

[@yoshimoto7064]

can we have a „listen“ counter on partychip?

[@o_XampL]

Great podcast loved to see chip gravy make an appearance

[@Pkasso89]

Best LTGM Event would be 3x3 Goblin caves, 8 minutes - with hard advancing circle.

[@Lfmyjaw]

Bring more couples to pod!

[@guildleader420]

Hands down the best improvement they could add to the game is a social space, it would immediately make the interactions in the dungeon have more meaning, and everything would be cooler.

[@guildleader420]

Also why no gods named "Mica Vista or Ulien?"

[@stefanpaius7833]

They should build in wizard a passive where if he sits down, he automatically meditates. Similarly, for cleric, when he sits down, he should have a built-in passive that regenerates spells and does so by praying and you hear the character whisper it.

[@Zorkalot]

Sooo you just want a mediate buff? Sounds like you just described sitting with a new animation

[@stefanpaius7833]

you could put it that way. Some of the perks don't really make sens to be set as a changeable passive and should just be built-in the class itself. Like Torture Mastery for Warlock, Crush for Barbs, Lockpick for Rogues, etc

[@darkfriday-cu7gm]

@@stefanpaius7833 Torture mastery should not be built in IMO, it's just that all the other playstyles of warlock have been nerfed so hard they are just a meme. I used to play non TM warlock back when there were 7 different viable builds on the class. Now it's either TM, platelock TM or you meme.

[@dhLotan]

Is it ever 90%? Or less?

[@Baxeli]

Just in time for a day of long haul trucking

[@DaDinkler]

Can we get Dimo on the episode when you bring Wilson on?

[@jokester5130]

Ooh that would be a spicy one

[@OstrichBanana]

party chip there's literally 2 classes that cast "you can't use spells sorcerer also you're dead attack. and THEN there's iron will barb. then will fighter

[@bleach1356]

just scrap religion and go with guilds . also idea for arena is crypts with the zone and its the same amount of teams there used to be. a battle royale much more fits the game than what arena is now. the skill expression is also similar to the real game with rotations and such. It also is a better way to balance because it mimics the real dungeon more. idk just my what I would change if I had the keys to the castlle.

[@kickdacup]

That sounds sick Bro id Love to see that

[@oscar95237]

They said they dont want DaD to be a Battle Royale, but they cant keep contradicting their vision with their actions,, they released Arena same wipe they said that, also they released socketing to made bis for the masses and then add +All Attributes, and many more examples

[@SirScroticus]

​@@oscar95237 bro all that makes it less like a br what are you talking about

[@FatetalityXI]

Render related issues are probably unreal engine 5 related.

[@p3tro2]

Acting like 5’8” is short is fucked 😂😂😂

[@Cwistoph2000]

make ruins a no player damage map maybe? all players just running around friendly and killing pve. go down for pvp

[@JCRascal14]

Playing against sorcerer feels bad. Perma slowed without having to land anything, stupid channel ability where theres no counter play cant dodge block or even line of sight it, infinite pushbacks and abilities they dont even need to try very hard to land (oh you got within 7m of me? You're shocked.) and longsword useage, instant cast for infinite kiteability. Holy shit they are annoying

[@OfficialZestT]

Crazy how much drip looks like Mac Miller

[@dripgravy1642]

That made me smile a little too hard

[@Watashi_wa_robottodesu]

Continuous dungeons needs worked on more. Shouldnt be able to join the same lobby you died in and reloot your own body. Also constantly spawning behing people and just following their path and killing them and stealing their kills loot. Isnt fun, especially in hell

[@OstrichBanana]

best wipe by far soma

[@kickdacup]

w video😂❤

[@bigsandytaco]

I am done soma. U tell jay to take a shower or its over 😭

[@gabrielmoreno3027]

Please if you can, check your mail. It's a feature suggestion for Damood

[@desolate171]

let’s go baby

[@bat_poison]

You know what simply decreasing mob density in solos would help out a tonne.

[@jaredh923]

Maybe a mobile game would be more your speed?

[@wyattwren2102]

bro are mobs a problem??

Solos ranger are just aids no wonder new players dont play anymore

[@Salimas167]

Skill issue

[@kickdacup]

WWWW

[@Skadidd]

They need to start treating solo, duo and trios as what they are, completely seperate games, they need to be balanced like completely seperate games if they actually want balance

[@brycehenning]

Www

[@shockedb]

drip gravy just can’t accept the fact that he’s colorblind 😂

[@OstrichBanana]

Skinnypete was rated A not S and his main is shirtless lizard barb with rage and reckless attack with crush. Zweihander. He's a spacing king. Recently he did the Unga bunga hippo barb and didn't die for 2 days but he's autistic and was crying that everyone ran away from him because they would die in 1-3 hits. Rangers and sorcs 245+ would die in literally one hit it's so funny

[@Joel-wj9ql]

He's good at spacing but he should play a different class to challenge himself barb is just beyond busted for someone like him

[@NeedBackup_]

​@@Joel-wj9qlHe plays other classes and does just as good

[@grimmow187]

why are you mentioning his autism? you think his disability has something to do with any of that?

[@Sad_Chad]

@@Joel-wj9qlhe’s done incredibly well on wizard/rogue/fighter/bard when trying said classes, man’s has the fundamentals down

[@dalej4241]

Yeah him not in S tier is crazy, spacing is one thing most above average players should have but he has good radial movement of the camera that controls the upper torso for dodging as well while knowing attack patterns, its something a lot of good players don’t have. He has some of the best melee highlights
