Chat, do I procure this product? StockSounds' Deepwoken Adventure

[StockSounds]

Oh, lovely.

@Mr_hyperspace

I did not say that, I said they are built AROUND permadeath
Do you actually understand the gimmicks I thought that was pretty clear

I know about the wind, parasites, lights, the time weirdness, etc.
none of it stops working without permadeath.

@Mr_hyperspace

That isn’t it’s only redeeming quality, where the fuck did I say that

When you said removing permadeath would ruin it.

@Mr_hyperspace

Yes, and it’s point is you are risking your slot in exchange for extremely high tier loot

I have watched my friends go through it several times and I’d call it anything but risky lol.

@Mr_hyperspace

You could just run over to a hard mob, get a hit in, die, wait for someone else to kill it, and free loot+xp

what gave you this idea lol.
plenty of other RPGs have mechanisms in place specifically against this.

@Mr_hyperspace

Basically you HAVE to intentionally be in the depths, not having gotten there through dying. Removing permadeath breaks that

oh, that actually requires some reworking then, I’ll admit I was wrong on that specifically.

---

Still though, you’ve been gaslit very badly on how important it actually is.

[StockSounds]

Okay, tell me, if I don’t know how to use this thing, why do I hold it by the sharp bit?

[StockSounds]

Are active pirate battles supposed to be hideously common? And am I justified to avoid them?

[anon58454183]

that’s an unequipped weapon, you can click on it to equip it unless you don’t meet the requirements

[StockSounds]

Oh, so I hold every weapon by the sharp bit even if I do understand it, wonderful.

@TheoreticalExistence

Ok so Yknow how basically you have a 2 minute timer before your slot gets wiped after ethiron, the hells your plan to replace that Mr smart ass

@TheoreticalExistence

When you said removing permadeath would ruin it.

I did not, I said it was built around permadeath

@TheoreticalExistence

I have watched my friends go through it several times and I’d call it anything but risky lol.

That’s with dedicated diluvian builds made specifically to trivialize it, go in there on a normal run of the mill build the average person makes and see if you can solo it

@TheoreticalExistence

what gave you this idea lol.

Because that’s how the xp system works in deepwoken

@TheoreticalExistence

Still though, you’ve been gaslit very badly on how important it actually is.

Ngl this sounds less like you actually having a good idea and more you wiped enough that you got mad at the game. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna go remove armor sets from arcane odyssey because I personally think grinding them is annoying

@Mr_hyperspace

You die and respawn outside of layer 2 lol.
duh???
also you’re going to personal insults now.

@Mr_hyperspace

I did not, I said it was built around permadeath

@Mr_hyperspace

Atmosphere is based around the tension

no you didn’t, why are you lying now?

@Mr_hyperspace

Ngl this sounds less like you actually having a good idea and more you wiped enough that you got mad at the game

Actually no, every time I’ve wiped in deepwoken was of my own volition, I just got sick and tired of worrying about wiping, stepped back, looked at the game mechanics, and thought “Why the fuck is permadeath even in this game? It doesn’t do shit???”

@Mr_hyperspace

Now if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna go remove armor sets from arcane odyssey because I personally think grinding them is annoying

and this would actually harm the game.

[Ultimate]

Yes, good luck.
I recommend either being in a discord channel with deepwoken players or asking questions about the game on the forums.
Also, look up basic tutorial videos and treat the wiki like you’re playing Terraria.
There’s an annoyingly large learning curve compared to AO and it can be hard to get interested in it at first. However, it does get more fun over time, as long as toxic players stay away.

Also, gl getting Crysid, its required for you lol

[StockSounds]

Oh my god, why did you tell me to go to this center island? So far, I’ve died once, nearly died twice, found two dead ends of shores, and may still be getting chased by angry randomly generated shore-people.

Not to mention that I’m starving and parched.

Yknow, if permadeath is so inherently flawed,why the heck is deepwoken so universally praised and beloved by its playerbase? It seems like you just personally don’t like it, not that this is some sort of thing that objectively ruins the game

[TheoreticalExistence]

@Mr_hyperspace

Why do simulator games thrive on this platform?
Why does Sol’s RNG have 10k+ players at all times?
Why is a soulless anime game the #1 spot on the entire platform?

If player count and how much a game was praised was a worthwhile metric on this god forsaken platform, we’d be in an amazing place, we all know THAT isn’t true lol.

[anon58454183]

ey man the center island is the beginning area, just stick to lower erisia

[StockSounds]

Can you mark a dot on the map where you’d prefer I be?

Preferably along a shore.

[Mr_hyperspace]

@TheoreticalExistence

Why do simulator games thrive on this platform?
Why does Sol’s RNG have 10k+ players at all times?

Both of these have entirely different reasoning as to what you claim, these are popular because of how little effort you have to put in to play it effectively, you are complaining about deepwoken because it takes a lot of effort to do so. You can’t just say “bad” game design = high playercount just because it’s Roblox

Erisia? It takes a bit to fight bandits. I’d just say keep respawning at your ship and trying. If you wipe or go to depths, its fine, just keep trying until you make progress.
Remember, the game is heavily parry-based.

Also, for the best experience, try to be in a server in your main region. They did a good job with the server select menu.

[anon58454183]

[Mr_hyperspace]

That big island in the middle

[StockSounds]

Why would I need to get all the way up there if I start all the way down there? Is it just a really small map?

[TheoreticalExistence]

@Mr_hyperspace

You can’t just say “bad” game design = high playercount just because it’s Roblox

yes I can, it seems to be a very reliable correlation 99 times out of 100.
