Нервотрепка, купил полный доступ, играл отлично в хайрол, выкатили сраное обновление, теперь надо покупать отдельный чип для материнской платы, что бы включить защиту ядра. Читеры всё равно присутствуют, спасибо за потеряные деньги и время.
Когда-то это была интересная, хардкорная и вместе с тем веселая игра. Не сказать, что она была долгоиграющей, но бегать в ней было в свое время увлекательно. Шло время и разработчик чуть-ли не каждым обновлением ломал собственную игру. Обновления напоминали маятник: то сломают, то починят тот или иной аспект игры. Формально такой сценарий нормальным можно считать для игры в раннем доступе, но учитывая общую нелогичность патчей, это вызывает раздражение. Нет единой, целостной стратегии обновлений. Недавно зашел посмотреть, а что с игрой в наше время. Здесь оказывается по какой-то неведомой причине "усилили" античит, сделав требования к SecureBoot и TPM 2.0 обязательными. Зачем разработчики это сделали, если игра и так нишевая? И если на выходе игры можно было без сложностей играть на старом железе по типу i7 2600 или FX 8300, то сейчас это в принципе невозможно из-за модулей безопасности. На современном железе (5 лет) функции безопасности по умолчанию включены, как правило, и запустится игра без проблем. Однако, игра не шибко требовательна, чтобы не дать старому железу поиграть. Очередная палка в колесо собственной телеги.
At the start of 2026, they made my favorite game fun again. Nothing else out there like Dark and Darker, simple as
Game play is good until the game decides that your shield doesn't exist and your sword in the block position is just an invisible item. The game constantly disconnects you for no apparent reason, arena, queing, sitting in lobby, does not matter. This game could be so much better but the company just wants you to buy red shards and suffer.
Note: I'm new to this game so obviously this is a newer player's perspective of the game. Dark and Darker is an amazing game and I want to see it succeed and become something greater. The only issue I have is the learning curve. I'm not the smartest of people but I had to watch a few dozen videos just to kick-start my adventure--and I still have LOTS to learn. I'm still very new to Dark and Darker so there's not much I can say except that for a beginner the most difficult thing is the process of learning the game. I hope that Ironmace introduces quality-of-life improvements to make the game less complicated for beginners as you have to manage PvE, PvP, and loot. For PvE you have to learn the enemies attack patterns including mini-bosses and bosses. Which for bosses as a beginner it feels like I'm playing a souls-like game. That's how difficult it is. For PvP you're expected to know weapon attack patterns (which all vary), class matchups like Barbarian vs Ranger, Rogue vs Barbarian, etc. You also have to learn what each class is capable of. This can be especially difficult when you're new because you don't know what you're supposed to be looking for yet. For loot it's pretty difficult at first but just watch YouTube videos talking about stats and learn the stats you should prioritize on the class you want to play. There are so many different stats and modifiers that it can be pretty overwhelming at first. You have to learn what each stat does and then figure out which ones are actually useful for your class. For example, as a Barbarian you want to prioritize agility and dexterity as you have high strength and vigor but low agility and dexterity which means your move speed is slow and your weapon attacks are slow. For instance, say you're up against a Rogue who has high agility and you're a Barbarian who has low agility. You're never going to be able to catch him so what's the point of having that extra strength if you never get to use it? All in all I think the difficulty deters newer players because it's truly like fighting an uphill battle but with time you'll get better. The good thing is that once you start understanding the game it becomes really satisfying. Also if you watch videos on YouTube don't watch older guides as they're outdated. Dark and Darker is still in early access and it's changing constantly. If you like the sense of skill progression this game is for you but if you hate learning then this isn't the game for you. For Season 10 Dark and Darker I recommend checking out this YouTuber named "Critical Vision". He made a recent video going over stats and 2 other videos about Ranger and Rogue where he plays the classes and shows you how you should play them. He's pretty active in the comments so don't hesitate to ask questions.
Got temp banned for 3 days after ~900 hours in the game. Never cheated, duped, exploited, abused comms, or teamed. I was left with the most generic AI response from IronMace. Stay away from the game and boycott ANYTHING these devs make in the future.
