Also also, if we see movement options ever in this game, they'll need to be gap closers at this point in the game balance lol. The hyper kite meta has me not playing personally this very moment even. Movement still too polarizing sadly and the game is simply not fun chasing someone throwing/shooting while they kite two rooms over or I have to sit there having a shitty fps duel with them in this dope dungeon crawler with 3 times as many melee weapons as ranged weapons...lol

Couple of comments on Warlock getting love and being the most fleshed out class and adding more movement skills like Ranger's backstep. 1. Every class main wants their class to be like Warlock. Let's not rely on multiclassing to flesh out other classes, that's lazy design. As a bard main, I would like Skills that offer different playstyles and more substance to the Bard's identity. Give us a prancy dancing side-step. Give us the opportunity for music spells to resolve and manifest a bit differently. Right now there is only 10 song Bards, and no other bard types. 2. Movement tech makes the game more fun and provides more opportunities for outplays and getting out of the range of a roaring Barb / sprinting Fighter that is on top of you, like Donnie mentioned.

Can we just admit the way creep is implemented right now is not healthy for the game. Needs to have a +movement speed requirement or resourcefulness or something, anything to stop certain classes from stealthing better than rogue. Btw the movement speed for the rogue perk is 5 percent while crouching, but they also nerfed base crouch speed so it just brings it back to where it was... Edit spelling

Back in 3rd and 3.5e you had alignment limitations. Examples: To play paladin you had to be Lawful Good To play Barbarian/Bard you had to be Chaotic To play druid you had to be Truly Neutral To play Monk you had to be Lawful So barb couldn't multiclass to paladin, monk or druid, etc. There were also stat requirements to be eligible for casting. Examples: to cast divine magic you had to have wisdom equal to 10+level of the spell = 8th circle spell required you to have 18 wisdom, for wizard it was intelligence and for bard and sorcerer it was charisma. So there were multiclassing limitations. I personally don't know how I would apply those limitations to DaD. Maybe there should be stat requirements to use skills/perks of other classes.

Its just demotivating me so much from playing, and I love dark and darker so much. But this edge nolifers get in multiclass is just cockblocking me real hard

@johnwayne4911 4 ай бұрын
they are definitely getting too carried away with their progression systems. it's making the game a grind and a chore to play.. they should stay away from skill stuff/balance breaking shit etc. and keep it simple and instead focus on the world they are building and fill it with fun shit. one of the more fun forms of progression that tarkov had was finding keys etc to progressively be able to open up more of the map and lootable areas. they should be focusing more on that type of shit.
@Lfmyjaw 4 ай бұрын
Multiclassing sounds frustrating for me too. I know there will be someone who gets op build by luck or insane grind and then when you will get killed by him and will try to get the same build and will need to grind for it. Or for example you will want to build some kind of combo, and rng wont be in your favor, or you will get what you wanted and realise its shit and now you need to start lvling again. I will just give up. Ive played wow private server with similar system, its just mindless grind after some point to get bis multiclass. Atleast there was another realm where you can choose what you want without rng and grind. Will see tho. Maybe it wont be that bad and Im just dooming. But I just had similar experience and I feel really scared to loose interest in my favorite game.

Multiclassing isnt going to stick around past this wipe. Class identity is already pretty bad--when you see someone in plate you dont know if its a cleric, fighter or warlock until you see an ability come out. I got ran down by a crystal ball + falchion fighter because i thought he was a warlock until he used sprint. Let alone how different classes have different builds and you never really know what your opponent is capable of until you see them do it. I dont understand the big picture of what ironmace want the game to be.
