Discussion on Loot Rarity in Dark and Darker

Aug-10-2023 PST Dark And Darker

The ongoing discourse regarding the scarcity of loot rarity in Dark and Darker appears rather intense, in my opinion. Particularly given that it's only the second day since acquiring this game.


Consider the consequences of everyone obtaining purple items within the initial 48 hours. Imagine the lack of excitement if every chest yielded a purple treasure. The thrill derived from discovering valuable loot directly correlates with its scarcity.


The quote "If everyone is super, nobody is" holds relevance here. It appears that a majority of players find the current rarity of loot acceptable.


In presenting my perspective, which I sincerely hope is mistaken, I believe that a slight increment in the occurrence of blue and even purple items might be warranted. It's worth noting that neither of these rarities represents end-game status, despite what many seem to believe. Is it not true that there exist even rarer items, such as orange, unique, and named gear, that surpass purple items in significance? From my standpoint, purple gear aligns more with the mid-late game phase rather than the ultimate end-game. I propose that orange and higher rarities should remain exceedingly scarce.


However, it's concerning that I've reached level 18 with my fighter character and have yet to encounter a single purple item. I've traversed hell and escaped it eight times, and participated in the goblin high roller event five times (prior to the loot buff). I don't anticipate encountering a purple item every time I venture into the depths, but to find none after all these endeavors is rather disappointing. Moreover, I've come across few, if any, well-rolled blue items. Decent rolls on blue gear have been exceedingly rare during this timeframe.


From my perspective, I believe that the desired end-game pursuit that players discuss should pertain to gear beyond the purple tier, namely orange and higher rarities. Purple should be situated in the mid-game, while blue serves as early-mid game gear. Consequently, a moderate increase in their occurrence seems reasonable, such that encountering a purple item around every fifth trip to normal hell becomes feasible. Blue gear, which is unquestionably not top-tier equipment, should not be as rare if it doesn't hold a high-end status.


The existence of poorly rolled high-rarity items already adds a grind factor when attempting to acquire god-tier or even moderately decent rolls on purple or rarer gear. After approximately 15 hours of gameplay, I have yet to uncover a single blue rarity item with two desirable attributes for my class, a fact that strikes me as overly excessive.
