Dark and Darker Playtest 4 Maps
The Goblin Caves (Normal): solo-only. They're brand new for this playtest, and many players are reporting difficulty surviving the unforgiving mobs. Not recommended for new players.
The Forgotten Castle (Normal): It is the regular map, where teams of 1-3 players compete for loot and get the chance to escape. New players are recommended to queue into this mode and get to grips with combat first, either solo or with friends.
The Forgotten Castle (High-Roller): High Roller costs 100 Gold to enter. It's a high-difficulty dungeon, but the drop rate for high-quality gear is also increased. Experienced players who are able to bring decent gear with them are recommended to play here so that they can heal items at the very least.
Dark and Darker Servers
There are 8 servers in Dark and Darker playtest 4, including:
US East (Virginia), US West (Oregon), EU Central (Frankfurt), East Asia (Seoul), East Asia (Tokyo), SEA (Singapore), Oceania (Sydney), Brazil (Sao Paulo)
FAQ
1. Dark and Darker Frankfurt Server lagging?
Many players are complaining about Dark and Darker lag on the Frankfurt server, and Ironmace has given their official reply that EU servers are having issues and they are maintaining them.
We suggest players play on other stable servers and use LagoFast to reduce the Dark and Darker high ping resulting from connection with a geographically distant server.
