It feels like a step in the right direction but still needs work. Fun gameplay for casuals is run a normal, let the gear ride in highroller rinse repeat. There was no middle ground for this before. You had to spend time/gold to build a kit that gives you somewhat of a chance of surviving in high roller. Not buying a kit just meant ez wipe for bis sweats running high roller

Lol so anyone who doesnt look into gear score will probably get rolled

Best match making so far. Should be 1-125-500/600-600+ . And if they do make the low lower maybe just remove normals for a bit and see what happens.

Great first step. I would like to see the enchantments and their rolls be more heavily weighted vs the rarity. Like a blue item with two good rolls is better than a purple one with 3 bad ones. When you have a well-crafted set that maxes out things like true/additional magic/physical damage or all atts, you should match with people who also have well-crafted sets that are specialized. Then top end players get good fights with good teams and middle to low end guys can still get use out of the random purples that don't have great rolls.

@@tlarsen1221 making item bonuses have individual values is dumb, a blue rapier is a blue rapier. youre just trying to make things unnecessarily more complicated, to what end? if a rapier has +2 additional damage or +3 isnt going to make any difference to someones survival or success. how about make comments about something you understand? game design aint it for you.

It seems like the game really discourages melee

so if someone takes in 30 throwing axes, they should be forced to fight against better geared players who have more access to range? man, some of you adult children really dont understand game design, but you sure pretend to. stick to something you have experience in, like trolling.

You aren't meant to rush through the open with your knife out at someone with a bow play corners, stealth, move speed, PDR. Melee is op at close against ranged just figure it out bro.

Which is good, because then they can change it so it's not as abusable :)

technically speaking there were reddit posts with github scripts where you filled in prompts for it to tell you what your GS was 12 hours ago, but sure thing :)

​@@Canopusxiii It just got nerfed tho?

Same last night my trio was having great fights with similar teams but we loaded up too many high quality healing items and ran into a super decked out trio in purple/legendary stuff

Absolute braindead decision from ironmace, wont be long until its just empty lobbies.

Is it weird or just stupid?

@@CR-xx7kd well its stupid when people go into a dungeon with 8 stacks of bandages and potions. it means theyre going to fight every monster or player at 100% hp. meanwhile a lower gear scored guy with 3 potions and a bandage doesnt have the same backup and will eventually run out of heals, they will not be fighting everything at 100% hp, and thus any engagements, pvp or otherwise, will be far less forgiving for them. its fine and it makes sense. if youre upset, youre probably one of the pussies who takes in 12 pots and 9 bandages because they cant pve. the game isnt difficult you know? the ai is weak af and combat is slow, if you need that many heals youre just bad and insecure. go ahead and take half an inventory with you though, if it makes you feel safe or whatever. just know that youre only increasing the difficulty of pvp for yourself. it works and it makes sense, so just deal with it.

@@TheMarcosvolta maybe you’re the weak AI

@@TheMarcosvolta "if you disagree youre bad" kinda take lol

@@TheMarcosvoltabuddy wrote a essay just to say “if you bring meds you’re bad” like just say you’re wanderer bro

yea especially rangers with 10 stacks of arrows and 3k meds and zero room to carry any loot out of the dungeon. people going into looter/extraction game with a full inventory is kinda dumb.

those players are proud to showcase their fears, insecurities and lack of skill. i used to talk trash to them before they removed VOIP in the waiting room. its like, that many heals wont save you in a pvp situation, theyre just really bad at pve.

as a solo rogue in crypts i use 5 stacks of bandages AND health pots most runs into inferno/killing ghost... But thats cuz i suck at pve 😁

You bring 3 stacks of each for ghost king. You need those meds for pvp as well. So, if you fight two groups of players and depending on if they run, you’re popping pots every disengage. So, you’ve used 4-6 pots depending on that, mid fight. And if you take dmg from pve and have no cleric that’s 2-3 pots all the way to boss, random archer hit…anything. Now, you have 1 stack for ghost king. So overcompensating is preparing to go all the way. For pure pvp, I bring 2-3 stacks of each, depending on how hard I’m defending my gear I come in with. And I bring 60-80 arrows, and I’m on my 4th stash about to purchase 5th. So, you’re not an idiot for the amount, it depends on what your goal is. Your welcome.

@@chickenzeus6616 ah chip damage, pussy-footing and potion chugging. nice to see the end game is all about "skill." LMFAO! now what does this remind me of again? oh yeah! DESTINY! 70% of the player base plays hunters, and they ALL play like pussies. the second they take damage, if they didnt hit you first, they run away to heal. its stupid, annoying and its simply not fun to play against, even if it doesnt help them win the match or fight. "oh shit i didnt get the advantage, retreat and heal! ok lets try again! oh shit! retreat and heal!" "RUN!!!" "ok im ok now, lets re-engage!" "oh no! RUN!!!" zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz simply BEING AT RANGE is the fuckin meta, and if you dont have enough ammo, youre at a disadvantage. poke and heal, poke and heal, poke and heal, oh they missed a shot, time to engage! oh wait not yet i got hit and need to heal! yeah, i've seen the videos on youtube, ive run into poke/heal cowards in game, this shits fucking boring. pve is more fun right now, because even if the ai isnt too intelligent, its a lot more engaging than chasing someone around that refuses to fight you unless YOU are at an obvious disadvantage. this comes back down to the deadly nature of everything in game. if it takes 3 hits to kill someone, its going to effect how they respond to a single hit. its a fucking tragedy right now, which makes sense from a game design angle for a hardcore soulslike-damage-difficulty-inspired, but not for a pvp game where we have to sus each other out before committing to battle. i'm starting to think we need to change healing all together, because making it a monetary expense consumable leads exactly to the stupid situation we are living now. a better idea would be a potion system like Path of Exile, where everyone has the same amount of potion slots, and you can equip different qualities with different effects. in-match there could be ways to refill potions, through kills or other means. treat limited throwables in the same manner. player inventories shouldnt be full of heals because people lack skill, or thats the meta, or any stupid reason like that. its a clumsy solution that should only serve as a place holder for a better system. if you have to load up your inventory BEFORE you go into a dungeon, something is seriously wrong with the game design here. this really should be a huge point for Ironmace to address, i just dont think theres a lot of people talking about this subject. the META play style is not fun, period. the "play this game as intended" isnt working out right now. Ironmace decided to force player pvp engagements, but if they suck this bad then its better to just avoid it altogether and either find a new way to play, or just go play something else. good thing DaD is a work in progress and theres literally thousands of video games available to play.

It’s what killed cycle frontiers player base. I like white and under lobbies/ anything else better in HR. Just made way more sense. I just wish they would bring back rotating maps team count so I can 3 man with my boys on gobo or the new ice map. Got friends who all wanna play 3 man but we’re stuck running castle all day

@@YaBoiiGermy games leaves a lot to be desired imo. Fun af but has a lot of big “buts” and I can not lie lol.

I just experienced the game and uninstalled again after getting my basekit stolen by rogues in every single pre-game lobby lol

12 hours before I made this video there was a GitHub-available script that let you plug in your gear values and would spit out a score.

Yeah fun. I extracted one game and got put in lobby with a rogue in legendary items. Fun. I'd rather know how to avoid that.

Hey I'm one of the people who was testing gbmm on the wiki discord server. I think it is much better that info is shared and easily accessible instead of it being private. This way at least everyone is on a more even playing field.

Ah yes, shoving your head in the sand is a bold strategy. If a system relies on the player base being ignorant of how it works, it’s a bad system.

@@Nero1444 thats easy. dont go in highly geared, or youll face highly geared opponents. thats how it works. if that rogue is wearing legendary items, then you must have been fairly geared yourself. dont lie and pretend like you were wearing greens with a peppering of blues you found in dungeon. you had to have been in his gear bracket. reflect upon yourself and what you know, instead of making ignorant assumptions about others.

isnt it obvoius? getting matched with a trio of BIS no-lifers in epic gear when youre wearing greens and a few blues = you are going to get roflstomped over and over again. does that sound fun to you? do you even play this game? jesus fuckin christ. if you kids would just use a fraction of your brain power you wouldnt have to ask such stupid questions...

I'd say ts sn sttempt to cater to a casual base, which like it or not, the game needs to survive. Of all of my friends that no longer play the biggest reason amongst them is none of them like being stat checked bc it makes fights feel trivial. Gbmm in theory could help with that

@@mattmorrison7895 casual my ass. if one group is no-life'ing BIS purples and steamrolling entire lobbies, then thats not fucking fun. its not a fact of life, its a fucking video game. grow the fuck up. you have zero experience in game design, and you have no idea wtf is going on. your ignorant ego is telling you to speak up on the matter anyways though.

It replaced ranked based mm

a few meds isnt an advantage, and the gear score brackets are wide enough that youre going to fight them whether or not they have 3 potions or 20. what youre worried about is players who are obviously in a higher bracket playing the system to enter a lower bracket, but thats never going to happen. the removal of a few pots and bandages isnt going to bring down a players skill bracket, if they dont have pots and bandages and they enter your lobby, its because thats where they belong. adding a few more heals isnt going to bump them up into a higher bracket, as they belong in yours. if youre scared of entering a new bracket, then just git gud, or stop worry about stupid shit you have no control over and just play the fucking game. ultimately your experience is simply going to be better than it was before, even if youre too ignorant and self assured to realize it. time to grow up, timmy.

@@TheMarcosvolta the hostility is real. It's not about the meds giving an advantage it's about some classes having to spend 50 gearscore on meds while others don't. Like holy crap dude you have issues. Idk why you're so mad. I'm actually having a huge amount of fun with the gearscore change. I'm building 1 shot builds to dominate the low gear score lobbies and I'm building some super minmaxed builds to go after the most geared players in the high gear lobbies. Making builds has never felt better. I just think they need to make some tweaks to the system. Since you're getting so mad about stuff maybe you should take a break from the internet and try to calm down.

brother if you think this is "content creators" beating everyone to the punch, you're mistaken. 12 hours before I made this video, there was a github script on reddit where people would punch in gear quality per slot and it would spit out GS and tell you what lobby you'd be in. I know yall love killing the messenger, but if it wasn't me it would've been someone else, like you just said, and I'm gonna make content that people want to know. You may not be "people" this time, but there are more that want to be educated than not. Sorry.

Whoever out of the 3 of u has the highest GS (gearscore) is the score it counts. So if u have 2 Timmy's and 1 guy with high score it will place you in the CHAD lobbys

It is an average of the 3 scores

you have no idea wtf you're even saying.

@@TheMarcosvolta typical comment section denizen. "No you're wrong idiot" with nothing else. Useful. Profound even. You should submit that to a journal; such unremitting midwittery cannot go unpublished. Waste your life somewhere else.

we're beta testing the game that is in the middle of development, seasons dont matter, nor how you feel about changes. either play the game or dont, stop pretending like youre aghast to these changes. you dont need a calcualtor, just assume the values and sus it out. thats what this video is for, to give you an idea of stat weight so you can guesstimate your bracket. do you need an exact number? no! thats why these brackets are wide and not tiny little margins where you can carefully calculate. its pretty safe to assume if you go out in all greens, that you wont be running into players wearing all blues or all purples (unless they find them in dungeon, in which case its random and sub-optimal.) my point is, you're carrying these irrational fears over something you clearly fail to understand - which says a lot about how uneducated americans approach politics, and every other subject under the sun. people love to speak out, whether they understand something or not. that just means people are ignorant and prone to trust how they ignorantly feel, rather than to put in the time, energy and work to figure out exactly whats fucking going on. hi, i'm the guy that NEEDS to understand EVERYTHING i set my eyes upon. i make decisions based on knowledge and experience, not assumptions and ignorance. if I dont know something, i will be the first one to admit it, and if relevant I will then seek out qualified information to educate myself on the matter before speaking up about such things. if i can do it, so can anyone else; but thats the thing. people simply do not do what i do. people tend to embrace their ignorance and how they feel, because theyre intellectually lazy and rather come to a simple conclusion by way of ignorant assumption, than to put any amount of time or energy into understanding practically ANYTHING. look how easy it is for you to assume something you dont understand, and then make a decision based on your own ignorant assumption. dont you feel fucking stupid knowing what you did now? the pandemic is another good example. ignorant people running around unvaccinated, without wearing a n95, deliberately ignorant to the science of biology and how virus transmission works, they preferred to assume things from their own ignorance and now many of them are dead because of it. i literally knew a few of these people and they should still be alive today. arrogant ignorance is a fucking disease upon humanity. i for one believe if a person isnt actively using their brain, that they arent even human anymore. we're supposed to be the most advanced species on the planet, but when i see all the lazy, uneducated troglodytes pretending like theyre the smartest humans of the species, it just makes me laugh and laugh and laugh. if you want to be dumb, ignorant and uneducated, thats on you; but dont you go pretending like you know wtf is going on when you clearly do not.

they can/will change brackets on the fly as they are server side. I assume they will keep us all guessing. This GBMM video is from last season and has been modified since. There is no GBMM currently in HR

@@Onepeg Thanks for replying! Yeah hopefully they'll do something soon. I mean it's a bad thing having a team that quadruples your whole team gear score, but having a guy enter a 'naked' lobby with a legendary weapon... that's when you know the gear score system is not working properly.

if someones wearing an epic with luck and MIS, theyre obviously not going for killing power, theyre going for looting power, which is still powerful in HC. luck is fucking awesome and an expensive stat (in gold) to kit out. god fucking forbid there be different ways to play a video game! the real problem is that people who have nothing to do with game development, and no experience in the area, are the ones crying the loudest about shit they dont understand nor care to understand. despite the fact that change is always inevitable, dumb humans resist it at every fucking chance they get. its childish and stupid. its like trying to stand up to a tsunami with just your ego and ignorance. its simply not going to work out in your favor. the best you should do is to learn wtf is going on before developing an opinion - instead of just assuming everyones behavior from a position of ego driven ignorance. by your argument, damage modifiers should weigh more than non-damage modifiers, simply due to pvp. never mind that not everyone seeks to pvp and that other stats lend different advantages. my bard stacks speed, luck and interaction speed, because my job is to get rich and get out, as i tend to play against duos and trios. i gain absolutely nothing from killing someone, unless I manage to kill their whole team (rare but it happens sometimes.) the risks outweigh the rewards, thus stacking stats for that situation becomes a costly asymmetrical bet. in a 2v1 or 3v1, my death is all but certain, so spending 1000g to kit out for death is an irrational and stupid bet. conversely, if I play smart, sneaky and choose my fights, my escape success exponentially increases, thus my gold stash grows and i have more flexibility in future runs. my rogue can play like this too, but I simply like to troll with that character. ruin peoples runs, screw them over and just cause chaos. go for the kill, go for the troll, play with your food. you're going to die anyways, so you might as well have fun and ruin some peoples days. oh is that a 3v3 i hear? it would be a tragedy if i showed up and killed a cleric or two, or trained 2 rooms of mobs into them to create a chaos buffet... its fucking hilarious. to assume there is only one way to play any game is to deliberately be wearing blinders. people are just terribly unimaginative these days, which is why artists are always viewed with confusion by un-creative people. unimaginative people require life and things to be divided into easy to consume/understand segments. which is where the term, "thinking outside of the box" comes from. sure, some people are going to learn the thresholds and play at the power caps of those brackets, but that happens in any game. people are always seeking an advantage instead of a fair fight. smurfing has been around for a looooong time. these changes are a step in the right direction, and this game still has a long way to go in development. i'm just happy i get to come along for the ride.
