Ironmace Games is doing what it can for Dark and Darker amid legal troubles. Instead of being available on Steam, the developers have opted to move to a smaller online store called Chaf Games. In the most recent patch, the devs address a very strange meta that players have been exploiting.
Lately, some players have been removing their armor at the beginning of each round. For some classes, the starting armor does not offer very much protection. Removing the armor and running around naked makes players lighter and move faster. This speed boost offsets the defense loss… until now.
The new Dark and Darker update gives a few of the classes reduced cooldowns on spells or abilities. However, there is one that kind of feels like a very deliberate scolding to those naked players.

Patch Notes:

– The Armor Rating curve table has been changed. Now takes more damage while naked.

Dark and Darker is in early access on PC.
