All things Dark and Light

Unread post by zedxrgal »

DARK AND LIGHT has hit Steam early access.

From all the videos I've seen this game is a love child from WoW > Ark > Skyrim = Dark and Light. :lol:
This game IS sort of a Ark clone. Actually it's the other way around. Ark is a clone of DaL. Wildcard is a subsidiary of Snail Games. Hence the seemingly same engine, ui etc. However from all I've seen they are NO WHERE near the same.
Feel free to watch Nerd Parade's Dark & Light
This game is very intriguing to me. I've already heard some great reports from friends who've jumped right in. So I thought I'd make a thread. I won't buy it right away. I'll wait till it's got a few more patches under it's belt. But I am SUPER interested. It looks amazing.

Show SS's!!! Discuss. All the above!

I only started yesterday but so far it's interesting, aiming is abit of a hassle since you only seem to be able to play in 3rd person.

Pros
beautiful scenery
more race choices
interesting creatures and lore.

Cons
clunky aiming.
slow leveling,
confusing abilities system

this is only my oppinion so far, may change as I continue playing.

it's like ark in that you can play solo, play online or run dedicated servers , though I can't say how well the server option would work as it's pretty new and in need of some bug fixes.

I'm currently running a solo game. I like it so far but levelin is slooooow.

You can choose from what I've seen spells are optional, I am playing a mostly melee character utill I am able to craft a bow and arrows but if you feel it's not for you then that's fine :-)

Yep it's a taming game though more fantasy than Ark, I spotted a horned panther, something that looks like a cross between a rhino and a trike and a unicorn so far along with some sort of rabbit like critter.
Taming is different from ark in some ways but alike in others.

Good for you ..

After an absolutely awful time yesterday on this game .. getting stunned and robbed over and over by goblins who took EVERYTHING .. and I do mean EVERYTHING from your character I decided to look into some commands to use .. I suppose you could call it cheating, to get at least some stuff back and be able to take revenge on those little shits that stole my things.

Needless to say it was a goblin massacre :twisted: even though I didn't get everything back it felt good to be able to defend myself against the little sh*ts

On a better note, tamed my first beastie the 'right' way today

Very pretty warty-hog. Your character is gorgeous too.

I'm still waiting till it's a little bit longer into it's early access & more smoothed out. There are some mechanics I am seeing in videos that are very unbalanced. And things like the goblins.

Ok so I must know. How many limbs does it have? True Wyverns only have four limbs while dragons have 6. Your beast looks like it has 6.
