Can someone explain to me why so many people hate the game?

[DixonPL890]

I got it, it's clunky and slow, it's hard to find people. Dark and Darker slightly feels more fun and complete but that's not enought to rate this game 36% only positive feedback in recent time. Graphics are great, system is good... i just don't understand such a hate

I found this game becouse i played Dark and Darker and i found out the creators uses classic scam "free game" listing to get most players, while limiting many things, i thought it's not okay and i found this jiggly game, after some hours, i find it pretty solid if not all the other problems

Well you see a clown named hellhammer said he was going to do amazing things with this game. He then proceeded to drop the ball every patch. He also refuses to listen to the community and keeps us in the dark. so our joke game dev is the reason why

So the creator is a prick

For some reason people keep showing up to this PvP game and expecting it to be a PvE game and somehow they think this is the game's fault rather than their own.

It lists "Co-op" as an option.

Those dudes showed up when they saw that, were disappointed, and thus left their input.

If you blame anyone, blame Valve for not having a tag for extract/PVPVE games. It's the least of DB's concerns, though.

It's a good game at its core. The reviews are probably about one of the below:

-It seems to be having an identity crisis as to what it wants to be.
-It has had some balance issues to the point of making the game borderline unplayable if you didn't stick to the meta. These went on unaddressed for too long, only to receive a slap in the wrist, if at all.
-Matchmaking issues. You mentioned Dark & Darker. Imagine if it lumped in high roller, squire and anything in between geared players in the same session. This game will, on occassion.
-Lack of communication, ignoring common player feedback on obvious issues, or even going in the opposite direction against it.
-These issues and some others led to player numbers dropping rapidly. In response, they shut down servers for some regions. Players who were on those, got frustrated with the ping.

Many reasons:
- matchmaking was never really working, therefor people with far higher gear farming new players in casual without any chance
- pve is ignored by the majority of players and the game is reduced to battle royale where everyone is rushing to just kill
- spawnpoints unfair, you can jump from castle roof onto player spawning right below you
- heavy imbalances for weeks (literally one class dominating everyone else)
- statsystem obscure and no explaination ingame
- Priest with 2% pick rate never changed, basically unwanted class
- people teaming and not getting banned
- cheaters
- botting
- anticheat banning linux users
- "weird" events, some call it p2w (already stopped playing before this, no idea)
- and more

Basically the game has a good core but the devs were far too slow and never listened to the actual community. They only used metrics for balance reasons and that backfired quite hard. Many of the things that people disliked could have been fixed easily in the first 4 weeks but hey here we are.

Kinda amazing how they dropped the ball on a casual dark and darker+skyrim game.

That's why people are mad lol, such an easy and addicting gameplay loop and they fked it.

Gotta be a troll. No-one is this entitled are they? Being able to play a game for free with limitations is a scam? No-one tell him about game demos.

As demo? so why they didn't list it as demo then? What i readed reviews DND would have over 80% postive but some people as me also didn't liked that move. It's even better hidden in game, you see no $ at first glance but then you see that you have to use crystals to unlock "Legendaty edition" that schould be names Standard Edition and this what we have for for free is or Starter Edition or Demo, things that schould be free are remaining player to pay 30$ for them, fogot to mention that you can buy 5$,10$,15$ Crustals, but you need 30$ of worth of them. For me it's intentional play to get most players into game and then they have decision if they want to pay 30$, stick to this light version or change game.

i'd not think of DND this way if the game would be listed for even 30$ in Early Acces than fooling some people who didn't do research

Nah, it's just people crying and crying about losing their stuff every time they die instead of taking the time to learn the game. They blame the devs for their own growing pains, like children.

While certainly something had to be done with matchmaking, lately even the elite players of Demon Hunter rank or so are entering game with black/grey gear and wrecking people still, lmfao. It's not something that will change even with the pre-season patch.

So that is why the game is hated. People going in and losing their stuff, then crying about it. Game is shaping up to be a lot of fun, especially with those pre-season changes coming up.

People want to be rewarded without deserving it, just because they played the game. If they die to PvE, at some point they start to call things unfair, but when you add the ego of dying in PvP instead of gaining their participation medal, things get really worse.

But the 36% is exagerated because devs removed SA servers and took too long to balance DK and Cryo, and fix Life on Hit status.

I don't think 'co-op' implies anything either way. As for Steam tags, you're right that tags for this sort of thing should exist but that's up to the players. I just went and checked the tags for this game and it has pretty much all the tags you'd expect but I made sure to add 'PvPvE'.

The devs is only listening to the streamers and the decisions they make is to make sure they're happy. That's why the game is dying so fast! All the bigger streamers left because they knew! Bad balance, rich people getting more rich and there is NO new players! There are plenty more stuff but the foundation of the game is soooo BAD.

Classic dnd lover troll post. 99% of the hate comes from you people.
