Thanks for having me again boys. Definitely get Sparky on sometime without me since I'm such a yapper lol but really appreciate whenever y'all have me on! Blue lizard gang!

We need Firebox and The Lorr on the podcast! Getting a cleric and a slayer fighter perspective would be nice

Blue Lizard Gang

Love Sparky's idea at 24:24 for better impact resist / recovery time based on how well you time the block. That would be incredible.

Arena, hideout/gathering hall expansion, Druid, ice caves 2, Lycan race, repost shield.

Gotta get TheLorr on! He’s a community favorite! Him, Euthafro, and Y4mi altogether would be a killer episode. Great episode glad to hear Oggie again and see Sparky 🤙🏼

Fucking love Oggie episodes, my mans couldnt be more right about weapon scaling for 1 handed vs 2 and 2 handers getting something like the long sword riposte Also when do you guys stream the pod? I feel like i miss it every time lol

I'm a lizardman myself. Sparky is right about finding a good trio group if you're not a meta sweat. Ppl always say something if I play my blue lizard wizard skin. I've had ppl threaten to leave the group if I used the skin even though my gear was much better. It be that way

Finally got towatch a the last bit live this time! Always love the pod, thanks for the content during this dnd drought 🙏 ❤

You guys should try and get “Firebox” on the podcast. Would love to see him on here

I wanted to say that regarding shield builds, you were pointing out that shields don't really give you much advantage even with all the shield perks. I want to point out a big reason for this is the different block resistance between the shields. Unfortunately the only viable shield is the buckler, and this is because you don't get staggered when you block with a buckler, compared to the heater.

Remove true/add dmg !!!! ❤❤❤

I'll help shed some light on the differences between Wizard and Sorcerer. Wizard has more utility compared to sorcerer because they have access to a wide library of spells. To balance this, wizards have spell slots because they shouldn't be allowed to do everything and get out of every situation. But when wizards rest, they are able to recover spell charges and swap out their spell loadout so they can better adapt to their situation. Wizards use intelligence as their primary attribute stat when casting spells. Sorcerer has a limited library of spells but they do not have spell slots. They have less total spells compared to a wizard. However, a sorcerer has full access to all their spells any time but the spells must share spell charges for each caster level. For example, casting any level 3 spell will eat 1 charge for all level 3 spells. In addition, sorcerer has the bloodlines feature that you select when creating the character and it works like a skill tree to gain passives, skills, and spells. Sorcerers use charisma as their primary attribute stat when casting spells. For roleplay and lore, a wizard is typically a spellcaster that is taught how to use magic. A sorcerer is a spellcaster that has innate knowledge of magic from their ancestral bloodline heritage. A sorcerer "slowly awakens" as they level up. So which is stronger? A wizard is more suited to do all things depending how they can prepare for the situation coming next. A sorcerer can only do a limited amount of things but they are always ready for it. Spellcasters usually tend to have spell charges. That's just how it is on table top RPGs. I actually hope they make Monk next lmao

june 7th is looking very exciting! cant wait for the announcements whatever they are ;)

Thank you for inviting me on, sorry for being so quiet but it was still fun to listen to everyone's opinions. 🫡

About buffball, I think it would be a nice test to make buff spells concentration-like, so one caster can keep active only one buff on self or ally.

I don’t know how “Thunder Wave” isn’t in the wizards arsenal. Thats a D&D classic…. Knock back with a decent damage. They get 3 of them, if someone is blocking with a shield they get knocked back less. If they’re in the air they get knocked back farther. That seems like one of the easiest ways to replace MM as the go-to melee counter on wizard.

True dmg and armorpen has different applications. True damage does not scale off of other stats like power and damage bonus. Armor pen amplifies the damage output vs armored targets. If you have alot of scaling damage and are vs a high armor target, armor pen is really good. If you have alot of true damage you want attack speed and dots that can proc it. Say if you are playing with a halberd or falchion, or longbow/windlass. Some kind of slow heavy hitter, you benefit from armorpen. If you are a high dex rogue or use a survival bow, you want alot of true damage. I don't know if dots proc true damage, but if they do, that would be another great situation to get true damage.

1:34:32 Careful there Soma, you're describing that "Copy Cat" game you hate so much! Dungeonborne!

i dont think there needs to be any talk on what class is next until druid is actually out and ready to play.

sparky is the greatest lizard to ever live

i love me some damn ranked tft! you're the man soma!!!😁

24:14 i play perfect block fighter.. it's very fun to block warmauls and then using counter attack to attack faster then 50% action speed. It's a very niche build but it destroys barb with a solid block. Try it out!

50% duration increase on hunting traps

the fact soma knows what's coming while we all wait in anticipation...better be good! I'm expecting Druid, Ruins, New Ice map at the very least. Hopefully a wider release because i think the best improvement would be a higher player base. regardless i am excited. thanks yall. love the pod

Hey Soma have u tried to invite Bonjwa to the podcast? It´s a german channel and Matteo is probably the biggest DaD streamer for a long time now ( 2k-3k viewers on german night hours). Would be interesting so see him in the show.

I want necromancer so badly my favorite class but for a player skin i want a goblin or dwarf skin

I think the best way to combat buffs is to make it to where if for example a bard buffed their mates & dies thier team loses the buffs gives more to fights I would think then you'll be like FOCUS BARD then go for barb after take down cleric then go for fighter & on the opposite end you would have to defend them too

Every weapon should have a defense/parry option

Adding sway to the bow in DaD will make archery feel like Mordhau (NOT GOOD) might as well delete ranger

Agreed Jay, 26:48 they need to give like 50x xp.

@57:50 Somas room built like a DaD module 😅🤣

Red liz superiority

17:25 I’ve been saying it for a while you have two types of people: fun havers and try hards. Chose your camp

24:58 y’all want more defensive options? How about bring back pdr cap to play test 1

It’s cool to think that now you’ve pretty much had every notable longsword user on the podcast. These last few weeks of DaD have been miserable, like you I pretty much played normals all wipe and I want the rewards but I can’t bring myself to sit down for any amount of time to grind for rank in the current state of the game. This game falling off has made me turn to overwatch depressingly enough. Also for random ideas, give rogue a small parrying dagger / sai he can hold in his offhand to block easily predictable swings like barb axes and cleric maxes to give him playstyles other than landmine :)

Soma, please for the love of god, ask Iron mace why they are so against SSF

So I heard "The Hold the Line Edition" is going away soon. Does that mean the test servers will be opened to everyone?

Get Dimo on the podcast!

Soma pls... what the heck is this pickpocket nerf.... :/

Red Lizard Master Race!

Blue lizard gang

I’m glad jay also agrees: “the game was gud. Now it sucks”

They don't have the population to have a test server within an early access game. This was like some promise they made to people who bought the game that they didn't think through entirely in their haste to get their store page up. They should get rid of the test server and give us something else instead.

Why does everyone hate on the sitting down aspect. I like the act of needing to reset and having portions of time to take advantage of a team that needs to campfire. Nothing feels better then burning through all the heals of a cleric or burning through all fireballs and pushing to kill The no charges or sitting would ruin the game

they need to get rid of the stupid ass FOMO season rewards. I don't want to have to do the shitty AP grind every 3 months after a wipe or completely miss out. It's so stupid. They should get rid of AP all together.

VE OH LAH? VI OH LA

Wdonny

*tries to tame his inner Dota veteran rage as he hears them talk about League of Legends*

I would love them to remove spells charges and instead have cooldowns before being able to use the same spell. I think it would both fix the sitting down/meditation problem as well as toning down lesser heal spam / fire ball spam etc

You know the game's not in a good state where 5 dark and darker streamers get together to talk about it and they all agree it stinks right now and talk about other games.

Removing jump casting/shooting would go a long way helping melee classes not get kited forever.

i would like to see less spell spam overall. Not a fan of l33t chad dude bros playing this shit like Doom Eternal. Get rid of meditation. Make the campfire the only way to regain SOME spells, make spells more effective when used in limited quantity, and make campfire a limited use ability for the whole team where you can only rest at a campfire once or twice in a game. just like how a short rest works in DND. Rangers regaining a limited amount of arrows from short rests would work the same. Delete Tomahawks and Throwing Knives. Ranged issue solved. The entire success of this game is the dungeons and dragons inspiration. Every move they make that's a departure from the DND formula continues to make this game shittier and shittier.

Just so you know soma, parrys on barb weps would severely negatively impact the play experience of everyone not playing barb. Barb weapons already do the most damage per swing than any other wep. Barbs don’t need to be further entrenched in the absolute best melee class in the game role. If you want to add reposts for other weapons it needs to come with a base damage nerf in the barb class singularly. And repost +damage on barb specifically for successful reposts shouldn’t be a thing if they don’t change the stats before implementing it on barb weapons.

There isn't a skill check on other class buffs. I could agree that with a lot of dex you can play them too fast and with a lot of resourcefulness you can have buffs that last an absurd amount of time but if not for AOE buffs the class would be useless essentially. Maybe get rid of the good performance perk would be a more appropriate nerf.

Sparky is nice if he would drop his whole vtuber thing, i'd rather stare at a black screen. Really good player but can't personally watch him because of that.

i love sparky

The whole lizard cam thing is cringe

Vtubers are so cringe.

test server. IM was told about bugs happening but those bugs made their way to the live game. so, whats the point in test server if they are not going to fix the bugs before pushing the patch to live.
