FULL STORY
======================================================================

This month, the medieval action RPG Dark and Darker finally entered early 
access. To mark the occasion, a new update has been rolled out which has said 
bye-bye to hackers, and hello to rare loot. 

While the PC game is available to play right now, gamers cant find it on 
Steam . In case you were unaware, the developers of Dark and Darker , 
Ironmace Games, were accused by a different game dev studio, Nexon, of making 
the game using stolen code. Though this led to a police search, Ironmace 
claimed that it was a quick process and nothing was found ( via NME). 

However, Nexon also issued a cease and desist, and the game was delisted from 
Steam shortly after. Although the devs have expressed that they intend to get 
the title back on the enormous digital storefront eventually, for now, it can 
only be played via Ironmaces own game launcher, Blacksmith. 

As PCGamesN reports , on Friday (August 11), a number of changes and bug 
fixes were rolled out which should improve the experience for everyone who 
was already playing fair and square. Bugged locations that let players step 
out of the map have been sorted out, as have some doors and treasure chests 
that were pushing players into spots that they couldnt escape from. The 
anti-hack system has also been improved, so in theory, therell be fewer 
cheaters out and about. 

Bug fixes aside, theres no doubt that the change that most players will be 
excited about is the increased drop rate for rare loot. The drop rate of 
Uncommon items has been increased on the whole, and its now possible to get 
Epic items from any chest in the game. Players are also now more likely to 
find Epic items in Lions Head, Ornate, and Golden Chests - welcome news for 
loot hunters across the Dark and Darker community.
