This week.
Dark and Darker is certainly not tossing a coin to their bard in appreciation this week. The folks at Ironmace put out a new hotfix to the in-development extraction looter stabber, and the Bard class is feeling the brunt of the changes.
Specifically players can look forward to reduced speeds, increased costs of abilities, and reduced effects. Bows have been nerfed in various aspects, and players will now see their leaderboard standing degrade as each day adds a failed match automatically.
The rate at which players accumulate wealth has also been reduced to combat inflation before gold sinks can be implemented further.
We have been fairly satisfied with the improved loot drops in incentivizing players to go into the dungeons. We do think that there was too much treasure being given by the chests resulting in excessive gold in the economy without enough money sinks built in yet. We have reduced the drop rate of treasure and trinkets from the chests to slightly reduce the gold supply.
