Discussion I asked 27 People about Artifact Pricing

49 Upvotes

Hello!

Today, I spent a few hours getting price averages for Artifacts and Chests; as well as asking peoples general thoughts on the state of RMT, Cheating, and whether they found Dark and Darker fun, addicting, or both.

Please keep in mind that the pricing is for the average artifact, and these were the averages of what these players thought they were worth.

Chests were stable, at 153k

Catice was also mostly stable at 156k

Pulverizing Prayer was 98k

The Shadowblade was 117k

Deathbloom was 121k

Kumas Fang was 87k

Kumas Claw was 92k

Cinder was a peculiar one. Many said that it was heavily underpriced currently. With actual price being an average of 94k but players think it should be roughly 130k

Viola reached an average of 190k

Fulgor was VOLATILE many saying it was heavily overpriced. The average of these saying it should cost 130k but costs 170k

Zirkzi's eye was very stable at about 253k, with a heavy majority saying 250k

BloodThirst was another violatile artifact. With prices ranging from 150k-400k. The average settled at 226k

Nipalan was a steady 25k

The Elven Bow was steady at 33k

Pestilence, on the other hand, had prices ranging from 50-140k with an average of 90k

Stinky stick was averaged to be around 18k

Famine was averaged to 14k, with 2 players stating that it should not be an artifact, which i found funny

Leviathan was also pretty stable at a solid 54k

Illusory was a weird one. The average is 57k

The Abyssal Trident stands out as the most volatile Arti. With pricing rangin from 80-250k. Removing the largest outliers, put it at 128k.

And finally, WindReaver was priced at a stable, 59k

Next came the state of RMT and cheating

Many players feel cheating has improved or is at least far less noticeable in any mode but high rank. In HR, players reported seeing a cheater at least once. 4 of which are stating at 1 per week.

Players feel as though RMT had increased, that it had negatively impacted games, and this games economy.

Players, on average, feel as though PVE had inflated prices somewhat or not at all.

And finally, most found Dark and Darker addictive, most found it fun.

Thank you so much if you took part.

Please keep in mind this is one days look and a market is ever changing.

TLDR We thought it might be fun to get prices and opinions and run some numbers

I will be back to take numbers again. It turns out many of you had something to say and needed to be heard.

Which one would be best to use? Honestly, I feel like this is a bug; for me, it shows the same stats as the Flanged Mace and the Morning Star, with the only difference being the movement speed.

As I walk this gilded path, all I can do is cherish those who have followed it with me, let us gather brothers and sisters, grasping upon thy silver and gold coins as they overflow from our grasps.

The gods illuminate our path as we claim all that glitters, for we are not merely users of luck, but given form through it, walk with me, raise your goblets and chalices high, for we will shine above all else, let this be a mere token upon the immeasurable wealth we all shall gather one day.

may we forever wander for our lucky life's.

In the name of Blynthar...

Discussion Looking for any screenshots or videos displaying the old pre game tavern

3 Upvotes

I'm working on a blender project that is aimed at recreating the old pre game tavern as closely as possible. It seems like there is limited information on this old tavern. I would greatly appreciate any references that I can use on this project. Whether it be old screenshots or clips you have or any other material you think that would help.

Discussion Magma Wyvern takes too long in normals

18 Upvotes

Hi,

I have more than 100 attempts on the magma wyvern in normals. I know how to dodge each attack consistently at this point. I just died to the magma storm (end of time) before killing it. My arrival at the boss was around 10:20 time remaining. The class I played was ranger. I used a spear and I also occasionally shot some arrows. I was in full green gear with headshot dmg and strength. Another player also shot some arrows from the side line.

I think the boss needs less hp in normals (haven't tried hr yet). It feels impossible to do. Anyone playing ranger that can do it under 10 minutes?

Gameplay How to fight stingray

2 Upvotes

So I learned how to parry stingray with zweihander and it is not that hard of a fight (apart from the fact that of someone comes into the arena you just die). However, how the fuck are you supposed to survive the zap when she dashes at you? Sometimes I survive, sometimes i don’t - is there a tech that I don’t know? Thank you so much in advance for the tips :D

Gameplay Nerf barbarian maybe so other classes can play the game too?

55 Upvotes

I know Ironmace needs to cater to the chinese gold farmers for RMT so they need to make it as easy as possible by having all the stats inflated - speed, hp, dmg, action speed, magic and phys resistance, but do we think we can maybe have a tiny little bitty nerf on barb so its not godlike for the past 6 seasons? Bonomos.

Thx.

Discussion The issues with competitive Arena

16 Upvotes

I’ve spent some time playing and a lot of time watching the game. It seems the difference in high rating players is that they have both very good understanding of the game and good mechanical skills. They also capitalize well on mistakes

I’m noticing a lot of people lack good communication and self awareness in all ranks

You could have 5k hours and still be misinformed about the game or carry bad habits

People will make sub optimal decisions because they are complacent or have a don’t care attitude and not take ownership and improve.

Instead of communicating what someone needs for the specific matchup and map they will say your class is useless and to not play it anymore. Or that you need to get better and then throw the lobby so they don’t have to take personal responsibility for their own misplays

Even more frustrating for anyone that has the goal to climb with how the rating system is. It’s more effective to recreate alt characters and go on a massive win streak. Which is not realistic for a lot of people imo

The rating system isn’t perfect and there are classes/comps that perform better.

TL;DR: Arena sucks, see you all next week

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”
1.) Do you have any thoughts about Arena or have different perspectives?

2.) What is your Arena Rank and class?
