What happened.....?

I stop playing for a couple of months and come back and the game is completely dead and Dark and Darker has a higher player count? Legitimately......how on earth did that happen? They had it in the bag. Dungeonborne was the better game in almost EVERY aspect. I am completely confused.

DB had the appearance and feel of a mobile game. Folks tend not to stick around when a game puts out that kind of energy.

On a subconscious level it makes people associate it with negative things. And there were evidently enough actual negative things to vindicate those feelings, so people left.

What happened was that management put mods between players and devs, and mods was picked from beta testers. That bunch was abusing the power (in game but also here) so no new voices could be heard. Numerous cry for stopping cheaters, asking for PVE maps and various other bug related problems was pushed under the rug, while mods and testers were clowning on ppl asking for changes.
Now that crew is nowhere to be found althou remaining mods are still deleting unfavorable posts.
When image is priority function usually suffer. Shame, such potential...

Unbalanced money and crafting system is killd the PVE. No reason to loot and kill boss just kill other players take thay loot (hope is better then yours) stash away or use it and do RE RE RE. Player base under 650 player. Thats happening when the devloper ignoreing the comunity.

it seems devs doesnt want money . there is no way new players will need extra stash with current economics

[Viperstar]

the reason are the devs, they do what they want and not what the playerbase asks fos

I believe Dark and Darker having better item drops actually in PVE; in DB, you are more incentivized to PVP to get the gear off the other player since the item drops are rarer and with fewer extraction points. So the better players get richer, and the casual players get poorer, leading to a bleed in playerbase.

1) Cursed life on hit meta, for a month there were only dk and cryo in the lobby.
2)An in-game timer for dropping legendary items. Players like me farmed bosses for days to no avail, while legendary items could fall to a beginner from a mimic and go into a global cooldown.
This is about the reasons why online has fallen to zero, Why people continue to play Dark and Darker is a mystery to me.
