[dire plinth]

When talking about the different rarities they showed common/green, uncommon/blue, rare/purple very rare/yellow

so I imagine their blue uncommon box gave 2 coins, different rarities granting different amounts of coins

[opaque surge]

Yall do u keep the cosmetics for only one round?

[royal grail]

No ofz not you idiot

[nimble spire]

It was described as meta progression so you would

[dire plinth]

It could just be each box gives 1 coin of a set rarity to get a cosmetic of that tier

[lucid jewel]

I have this feeling in my head that defibro wont be that good in multiplayer

[daring niche]

biggest update so far

[dire plinth]

My next big ask is achievements, I’m a sucker for those

[solar needle]

YOoo this update looks sick

[dire plinth]

Using tumble wings fly into an enemy to knock them into a pit

Funny stuff like that

[nimble spire]

i genuinely wonder why achievements is a huge ask. like they are cool sure but wouldnt new content be better first?

[lucid jewel]

No hate, but insert gif of buzz lightyear clones from toy story 2

[remote topaz]

Im assuming that whoever puts the coins in is the only one to get the cosmetic

Semibot, making public lobbies annoying to play since 2025

[nimble spire]

whats the issue with that?

[rocky rapids]

as much as i love getting achievments (platinum on hollow knight and silksong"
ehhh they could add cooler stuff

[green jolt]

pink, not purple

[green jolt]

permanent

[daring niche]

every player gets their own coins

[opaque surge]

Ty

[lucid jewel]

Not true, everyone gets a token each

[green jolt]

achievements are fun

[remote topaz]

?

[green jolt]

you and your group sell a box, everyone gets a token and you don't share it

[lucid jewel]

Its not the case where everyone shares only 1 token, each person gets their own token to spend, so everyone in the lobby gets a cosmetic

A dev even comfirmed this earlier today

Mossy

[daring niche]

mhm

[remote topaz]

Oh. I misinterpreted the video

[lucid jewel]

They didnt directly mention it, but you could see it in the video

[daring niche]

that's why the devs are so goated

[lucid jewel]

I think they knew we would fight over who gets the cosmetic

[remote topaz]

I think i also got confused with pontoon having multiple coins

[green jolt]

that'd be tragic omg

[daring niche]

pontoon XD

[green jolt]

but also unfair cause whoever is the closest to the machine gets it first

[lucid jewel]

Everyone would run to the machine to try and take it for themselves

I wonder if that was ever even the original plan and they changed it later on

[green jolt]

and some might load quicker

[remote topaz]

Kinda like they already do with upgrades

[green jolt]

probably not

[daring niche]

they want people to have fun so they made the system fair

[green jolt]

ooh you know what will be fun

[lucid jewel]

Im fine with the upgrades, you dont see many trolls taking all of them

[green jolt]

everyone will be competing to be the first in the world to unlock every cosmetic

[lucid jewel]

Thats only happened to me occasionally

[green jolt]

some sweats will do it in a week I bet ya

[daring niche]

for sure

lots of people no-life this game

[lucid jewel]

Or someone makes a mod where you unlock everything (i would never use it)

[remote topaz]

I wonder what will happen when you unlock all the cosmetics coin wise

[lucid jewel]

Me too, i mean do you get nothing, is there a compensation?

[green jolt]

probably nothing or you can give tokens to others maybe?

[lucid jewel]

I was so scared that you had to unlock each color for each cosmetic, thankfully you dont i think

[green jolt]

that'd be abysmal

[remote topaz]

Or you can stockpile for if they add more in the future?

[green jolt]

yeah

[lucid jewel]

I do like the idea of special colors you can unlock

[green jolt]

I forgot they can add more

[lucid jewel]

Maybe pearlescent colors or others with different materials

[remote topaz]

I assume that upgrade boxes dont take up item spawns from where it shows up in the video, which is good.

[lucid jewel]

Im guessing they have their own spawn locations

[rocky rapids]

wonder what would you do with the tokens if you get all the cosmetics

[lucid jewel]

Me too

[remote topaz]

I like the idea of materials as extra unlocks

[thin tusk]

Just stop getting tokens?

That would be sad cuz Taxman animation is kewl

[green jolt]

many options

[lucid jewel]

They already improved the colors this update by allowing you to color each part

[remote topaz]

Oh yea

Got the see more of the taxman

[lucid jewel]

Im probably sticking to my full on red tho

[remote topaz]

Thats like lore or something idk

[green jolt]

the tokens obviously won't turn into money, that'd be plain stupid

[lucid jewel]

We’ve seen his hands before, but now we have seen them in higher detail

[green jolt]

eh, we'll see

[remote topaz]

When?

[rocky rapids]

why are these boxes even so important to taxman

[green jolt]

check #repo_content, I sent it

[green jolt]

it's RAM

[rocky rapids]

does he want that 1 trillion petabytes for a omega gaming pc

[thin tusk]

They contain information from Aratal automation

[lucid jewel]

Theres this one image of the taxman where hes holding a blue semibot

[green jolt]

so maybe for constructing semibots

[rocky rapids]

my theory is good enough

[green jolt]

e, nothing confirmed?

[lucid jewel]

It shows the same arms we saw in the cosmetics video

[green jolt]

yes

[remote topaz]

I think its something related to semibot consciousness with what it says on the epic box

[thin tusk]

It had data on it and Aratal Automation on it

Aratal Automation data

[green jolt]

they said it's RAM

[thin tusk]

RAM IS DATA

[green jolt]

temporary data

not like storage

[lucid jewel]

I hope there is (or they atleast add) vehicle customization (e.g different colors, maybe even some power ups in the next update)

[thin tusk]

Maybe it has processing power for the Semibot brains and thats why he wants them

or himself

[green jolt]

yeah

[daring niche]

assuming all the employees at aratal are dead, taxman wants these boxes for himself

[remote topaz]

The purple one said neural logic core

[lucid jewel]

Or the aratal employees are also semibots, and the semibots are building more semibots

[green jolt]

PINK GOSH DARN IT

[thin tusk]

Great find

[green jolt]

no one will convince me that that is purple

[thin tusk]

Bodies in tutorial with Aratal hats.

And shirts

[lucid jewel]

They died and the semibots replaced them

[green jolt]

and "only for use with core system"

[rocky rapids]

what if semibots are aratal automations employees

[lucid jewel]

Thats what i said

[rocky rapids]

aw man

[daring niche]

it is indeed pink

[lucid jewel]

They were originally humans working there, but they all died in some way and the semibots replaced them

[green jolt]

thank you omg

I was going crazy

[rocky rapids]

can yall show picture

[lucid jewel]

I still wonder what the ultra rare box and common box are gonna look like

[remote topaz]

Hes a lil colour blind bit its chill

[green jolt]

#repo_content

[lucid jewel]

Cuz we’ve seen that each rarity box has a different size and shape (the rare one was larger and rectangular than the uncommon one)

[thin tusk]

I think Taxman runs it, it wouldn't have Semibot employees to my knowledge but there isn't much lore you can find atm.

[rocky rapids]

tbats like so pink

what do yall mean bro

[green jolt]

the pinkest pink

[lucid jewel]

How big is ultra rare boxes, and how small is common boxes?

[thin tusk]

I see pink

[lucid jewel]

This is definitely important to me

[thin tusk]

Hot pink, almost magenta though

[lucid jewel]

Yes yes yes

[green jolt]

#repo_content message
old devlog though

[thin tusk]

It's the same color of my semibot.

[daring niche]

we'll have to find out for ourselves

[thin tusk]

Yeah, but the crate's light is pink

[lucid jewel]

Oh my god i forgot about that

I mean there isnt a clear size for ultra rare, its covered up by some boxes, also the sizes couldve changed

[green jolt]

if you aren't convinced that that is pink then one second

[daring niche]

they didn't even extract an ultra rare in that video iirc

[lucid jewel]

Im pretty sure its there

I see something yellow

[thin tusk]

If your that convinved it's purple, I would suggest ask AI but AI is evil and plaugues this earth for the environment, artists, voice actors, programmers yadda yadda.

[lucid jewel]

And yellow is the color for ultra rare i think

[compact whale]

IM SO FUCKING EXCITED

[lucid jewel]

That language is acceptable for the update in my opinion

[green jolt]

sent pink slots in #repo_content

[thin tusk]

The only cuss I don't tolerate is ||plum pudding.||

[rocky rapids]

whatever that means

[daring niche]

semiwork doesn't say "no cursing" because they do it themselves XD

[lucid jewel]

Next update taxman drops the f bomb in game

I really hope he has some kind of voice, although im fine with it if hes a silent character

[green jolt]

the 🤬 emoji

[daring niche]

he just types it on the game over screen, in the biggest, boldest letters XD

F🤬K YOU

[thin tusk]

It means ||plum pudding||. My brother dropped a hammer on his toe once and yelled it and my mom grounded him in the basement for 7 years only feeding him sausage links.

[lucid jewel]

When you’re in the disposal area, he just says “worthless pieces of shit” or something like that

[remote topaz]

Pretty sure his whole this is only speaking with emojis, so it would just be "moneybag moneybag truck truck truck"

[green jolt]

insignificant mindless cans

[lucid jewel]

What if he drops a “clanker”

[daring niche]

walking recycling bins

[thin tusk]

The ending where you bossfight taxman, it should take place in the King Of The Losers arena and it ends with you throwing his core or whatever into the pit like he did to you. As he falls he makes the cuss emoji.

Peak ending right there

[green jolt]

I thought this word was forbidden here unless Aeroni meant something else and I misinterpreted

[thin tusk]

NO! THAT IS OFFENSIVE TO AI CHAT BOTS MADE TO STEAL INFORMATION LIKE ME!

[remote topaz]

Booooo

[lucid jewel]

And it ends with a dance sequence and one of the semibots saying “We are R.E.P.O”

[green jolt]

you forgot a dot at the end of R.E.P.O.

[lucid jewel]

Oh my god i love that meme

[thin tusk]

Uhhh I mean, not like me, because I'm not a chat bot <_<

[lucid jewel]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[green jolt]

okay

[fallow lintel]

R.E.PO

[rocky rapids]

what if there would be a repo story mode

[thin tusk]

RE.PO.

[remote topaz]

Since semibots are in fortnite, they do the fortnite default dance

[rocky rapids]

R.EPO

[green jolt]

that's not gonna make me angry unless you do it unknowingly

[remote topaz]

R.e.P.O.

[lucid jewel]

They randomly transform and gain hands, elbows and knees while growing much taller

[rocky rapids]

aw man

[errant tide]

repO

[lucid jewel]

I dont find the semibot design in fortnite that weird anymore

Ive seen it alot now to the point where i dont mind it

[remote topaz]

Xx_REP0_xX

[errant tide]

REPO (bass boosted + reverb)

[daring niche]

you forgot to replace the "E" with a "3", you dork

[remote topaz]

REPO

[green jolt]

repoo

[lucid jewel]

I still remember when pontus watched those brainrot slop videos of repo on yt shorts

[remote topaz]

R E PO (rhythm of ymca)

[errant tide]

Repo-st

[green jolt]

report

[viral kayak]

Was there a chance to get duplicates with the cosmetics?

[lucid jewel]

I think theyve mentioned before that you cant get duplicates

[viral kayak]

Oh that's good

[green jolt]

they didn't say anything but that'd be just dumb and unnecessary

[viral kayak]

I thought so too

[green jolt]

did they?

[lucid jewel]

I think i remember

Ill have to look at all their cosmetic update videos again

[thin tusk]

It would actually be fine if you could convert cosmetic tokens into money, then it would be a tradeoff if you don't have all cosmetics and there would still be a reason for people who have all of them to go through all the trouble of carrying them.

Like, if there was a seperate machine to convert them

[daring niche]

i mean, maybe?

idk

[green jolt]

no

that'd them less unique

and also pure rng, no?

ultra rare spawning is more money

and also infinite money between saves

absolutely not

[daring niche]

also, i guess my theory about extracting cosmetic tokens wasn't too far off, but also completely wrong at the same time

you get tokens through extraction, but you don't extract the tokens themselves

[green jolt]

you kinda do but they're much bigger

[fallow lintel]

will we be able to convert lower rarity cosmetic tokens into higher rarity ones? what about higher rarity to lower rarity?

[dusty canopy]

Do you think that cosmetics will be permanent

[fallow lintel]

they will carry through saves yah

[dusty canopy]

K thx

[daring niche]

my theory is that if you already have all the higher rarity cosmetics unlocked, they turn into lower rarity ones

[fallow lintel]

hmm, i like that idea

[daring niche]

but we'll just have to see

[green jolt]

probably not necessary

[graceful helm]

guys who do you think INVENTED THE SPOON?

[green jolt]

finding the correct box will be exciting

[graceful helm]

i think it was spoony spoonicus

[green jolt]

that maybe

[fallow lintel]

King Bach

[fallow lintel]

i also have to wonder what'll happen when all cosmetics get unlocked on a save, will you just keep earning coins for the fun of it?

[daring niche]

i honestly loved the tax coin animation

[green jolt]

I mean not on a save, the tokens are shared between all saves

[solar needle]

does the box rarity also equal token and cosmetic rarity

[fallow lintel]

semiwork are EXTREMELY good at menus and UI stuff, honestly one of the reasons that got me into the game. everything feels absurdly smooth

[green jolt]

I don't think you'll keep earning them cause visual clutter but maybe they become invisible

[fallow lintel]

yeah yeah you get what i mean

[green jolt]

yea

[green jolt]

so I think it's infinite but in order to not make you mad with ui it will disappear after a short while each time you're at the shop

[daring niche]

does the animation also imply that taxman's hands are always inside the truck?

[fallow lintel]

what if taxman IS the truck

[green jolt]

yk, the truck is getting some small visual changes

[solar needle]

ohhhhhhhh idk why i didnt know that it was obvious lol

[green jolt]

what if they'll be visible now behind the screen

there was some red lights I think

[green jolt]

are you implying vore?

[daring niche]

gross

[fallow lintel]

i wasn't intending to but if you want it to be, sure. it's vore.

[green jolt]

I don't, I'm not into that

[daring niche]

-# also, are you allowed to say that here? XD

[green jolt]

I mean why not

whatever man

continue with the lore and Tax Man

[abstract junco]

WHAT

[daring niche]

i just don't know if it's against the rules to mention it

[abstract junco]

eh nahh

[abstract junco]

I think he controls it remotely, it's probably connected to his overall system

[green jolt]

I think there will be hands behind the screen after the update but we'll see

imagine also tutorial refresh

[daring niche]

well, yeah, that would make sense if every truck had it's own set of hands because it's implied that taxman sends multiple teams of semibots out

maybe taxman also has his own hands, but bigger

[median rose]

i’d love to see more lore about the monsters in the future!! birthday boy, bella, shadow child, and loom in particular

[lucid jewel]

Me too, its so sick

[daring niche]

don't forget huntsman and headman

[median rose]

100% HUNTSMAN! we don’t know much about him

[green jolt]

he can't be a human, right?

[median rose]

all i know is that there’s a doodle of him on all fours in the museum.

[daring niche]

huh?!

[median rose]

YEAH i’ll post it to repo content one moment

i was laughing my ass off when i found it

[green jolt]

I've never seen that

very weird

[daring niche]

me neither, that's uh... very sus

[lucid jewel]

No way

[median rose]

i was using mods to check out the art and graffiti in the museum and saw that 😭😭😭😭 give him some clothes!!! stop humiliating him!’!!!!!!

what would be hilarious is if he’s just a normal guy that everyone hates

[daring niche]

maybe that's why he's so angry

[median rose]

L huntsman i guess

[rocky rapids]

W me
L huntsman

[median rose]

someone pinch huntsman rn 👎👎👎👎 boooooo 🍅🍅

[gentle jewel]

Does anyone know if cosmetics are something you keep after a game over?

[rocky rapids]

yes theyre permanent

[lucid jewel]

Permament

[median rose]

permament 🥰 /silly

[lucid jewel]

Plus it would be so evil if it was only for that run, i would hate that so much

[rocky rapids]

come on who would dk that anyway

[median rose]

hey!! you get this AWESOME ass cosmetic!…for a day

[daring niche]

there would be no point in even getting them

[fallow lintel]

initially i get it, but it's so funny to me that there are people who think that cosmetics are completely wiped after a run, which would make the presets menu and most of the cosmetics completely redundant

[lucid jewel]

Exactly

[green jolt]

would make no sense

[lucid jewel]

Theres no way they would do that to us

[rocky rapids]

discord with their profile effects....right

[lucid jewel]

Exactly

[median rose]

flexes my repo decor

[daring niche]

loses it 2 minutes later /joke

[median rose]

AW now i wanna draw taxman with a little semibot themed hoodie

[green jolt]

it probably has no lore meaning whatsoever

[lucid jewel]

Imagine if one of us gets an ultra rare as their first ever cosmetic

[median rose]

FART YOU!!!

[green jolt]

Imagine

I wonder if it can spawn that early

[median rose]

hmm… i’ll make that my goal

[daring niche]

i mean, semiwork never puts things in for no reason

[lucid jewel]

Good question, the rarity could be based on the level ur on

[green jolt]

sometimes they can, maybe that's their real life doodles when they were bored

[daring niche]

all the graffitti in the museum has some kind of lore behind it

[lucid jewel]

Even the voidigo one?

[green jolt]

like cmon, a fucking barking huntsman?

[daring niche]

yeah

[green jolt]

that's a reference

[lucid jewel]

I know, but is that really lore relevent

[green jolt]

nope

[lucid jewel]

Yeah thats what i thought

[green jolt]

same for "I love" semibot meme painting

[daring niche]

maybe someone did that to him and he was publicly humiliated against his will and that's why he's so angry

[lucid jewel]

Imagine if eveey repo run ever was canon

That would be hilarious

[green jolt]

hunting people for making him bark naked wtf 😭

[daring niche]

yeah, that would piss me off, too

[median rose]

this happened while he was blind as well as we can see he had his blindfold on in the art 😭😭😭

i’d hunt people if i was THAT bald as well /joke

[lucid jewel]

PLEASE TELL ME THE HUNTSMAN IS CANONICALLY BALD

[median rose]

HE IS LOOK AT THE ARTF

[lucid jewel]

some paintings are not lore accurate sadly

[green jolt]

the opposite would also be cool, lushous shiny hair

[lucid jewel]

Some are just silly jokes and references, but if he is canonically bald, that day might be better than this update

[median rose]

nah wdym a semibot TOTALLY ate the earth

[median rose]

my huntsman design has flowy white hair like headman

i also draw him with a buzzcut at times

[lucid jewel]

Could be a metaphor

[green jolt]

cool

[lucid jewel]

Is it a metaphor or am i saying thr wrong term?

[median rose]

i was joking but yeah it like 100% is

[median rose]

nah you got it right bro

clown’s relation to dumgolf is very interesting as well tbhhh

[green jolt]

Huntsman Elsa Rugrat

as one being

first letters create "her"

her what? no clue

[rocky rapids]

it happened

i was a spectator

[uncut ginkgo]

Same it’s so cool

[green jolt]

I changed my tag

I will change my favorite game too on pc

GD is awesome but I like R.E.P.O. more feels like

[lucid jewel]

This game has been out for over a year and some people out there a just finding out that the clown has a little hat

[daring niche]

rip

[green jolt]

sometimes you miss some stuff in designs

for example I didn't see Spewer's nose for a long time

[lucid jewel]

I wonder if i missed anything on monsters

For a long time i didnt know that the bowties eyes werent one big solid color, he actually has red pupils

[green jolt]

or Clown's nose ig, he has weird nostrils

[green jolt]

wdym one color

ah weren't nvm

[lucid jewel]

Also i love the detail of the cleanup crew having 2 seperate footstep noises for each foot, since one has a shoe and hes barefoot on the other

[lucid jewel]

I used to think his eyes were completely red

[green jolt]

that's reasonable

and I'm pretty sure I thought Gnomes' hats are merged with their heads

but no, they just have normal hats lol

[lucid jewel]

It somehow took me so long to realise that they used little pickaxes to attack you, i used to think they used their bare hands

[daring niche]

yeah, it took me a while to figure out that the laser beam thing was his nose and not just something on top of his head

[green jolt]

I mean it's basically like the fish

[lucid jewel]

Yeah he has nostrils below it too

[green jolt]

the angler fish

[daring niche]

that's how i figured it out

i was like " why does he have weird holes in his fa- ooooohhhh..."

[green jolt]

yeah

I also thought for example in Minecraft that cows have big eyes but it's their eyelids

and some people saw sniffer's nostrils as eyes

so it's not exclusive to R.E.P.O. obviously

[lucid jewel]

OH MY GOD

[green jolt]

okay, time to take a break from this channel cause I've been basically chatting for like 9 hours

[plush spoke]

i mean they are pretty small and fast

[green jolt]

I wonder what happens when Defibro meets a Headgrab with a head

[lucid jewel]

It would be cool if he grabbed and pulled you out of the headgrab and then revived you

[steady horizon]

why is my ping so high on usa east

like over 100

[graceful sentinel]

is defibro gonna be in cosmetic upd?

[pure swift]

yes

[graceful sentinel]

also what about those carts that you can like drive

[graceful sentinel]

yesssss!

[green jolt]

everything announced after the monster update

[graceful sentinel]

i honestly dont know anything i got repo like after monster update or whatever the latest update before cosmetics

[green jolt]

okay so everything you saw is coming

(except for the axe that was barely shown on a thumbnail)

[graceful sentinel]

i know about the magic weapons carts cosmetics ofc shop update defibro

is that all of it?

[green jolt]

#repo_chit_chat message

[graceful sentinel]

woah walkie talkies that will be cool

[green jolt]

yeah

[lucid jewel]

Yeah but actually useful? Ehhhhhh, maybe if the battery lasted longer

[green jolt]

you don't know how much it will last

[graceful sentinel]

i use a walkie talkies mod when im playing with my friends

[green jolt]

also the official walkie-talkies are unusual

[graceful sentinel]

wdym?

[green jolt]

you see from the other person's walkie-talkie

[calm obsidian]

Hello everyone

[graceful sentinel]

so its like a camera?

[calm obsidian]

Im new

[graceful sentinel]

hello!

[green jolt]

in a way

[lucid jewel]

You can roughly tell from the video that introduced it

[green jolt]

you BECOME the walkie-talkie

[graceful sentinel]

whatttttt

[lucid jewel]

And i mean roughly

[green jolt]

but they could've changed it and also you can't really tell from that

also 5 days until the update for me

[lucid jewel]

Not me, its 23:00

Im in utc

[green jolt]

you'll see in the update

unless you watch the devlog

[graceful sentinel]

also thank good the devs made the cosmetics free

[green jolt]

[lucid jewel]

The devs are heavily against microtransactions

[graceful sentinel]

is that how its gonna loook like?

[green jolt]

yes

[graceful sentinel]

finally devs who care about the players

[green jolt]

it wouldn't have worked otherwise for R.E.P.O.

I can't imagine paid cosmetics in it

[lucid jewel]

Indie devs usually care more about their fans, theres many obvious reasons why

[graceful sentinel]

also how are they making money when repo is so cheap and it goes on sale all the time

[willow jetty]

Does anybody know if theyll add a radial menu for expressions? thad be cool

[green jolt]

millions of copies sold

I think that's enough

[green jolt]

nothing we know of, probably no

[graceful sentinel]

i think when console comes out they are gonna make alot of money

[lucid jewel]

This games peak was like 300k or something back in march/april last year

[green jolt]

if*

[graceful sentinel]

they said they would start working on it when the game is gonna fully come out

[lucid jewel]

Especially ps5

That console has a huge playerbase compared to other consoles

[green jolt]

no, they said they will consider it #game_faq

[graceful sentinel]

yeah but they need to add a way for cross play because right now only way to play with someone is if you add them on steam

[graceful sentinel]

oh they did?

[green jolt]

check the faq

[graceful sentinel]

Q: Will it be released on console?
A: No plans on it for the moment, maybe when the game is out of early access.
ohh well hopefully they do drop it for console

[lucid jewel]

Funny how one of them is happening this update

[graceful sentinel]

only reason i didnt play the game earlier is because i didnt have a pc

also i saw this https://discord.com/channels/1330873443515760640/1499781817090179082 and they need to add this

this would be so cool

[green jolt]

eh

cool idea but also holy shit it'd be annoying

that's a no for me

[fallow lintel]

also how would that work with monsters/items/exc that change your voice?

[green jolt]

yeah idk

[graceful sentinel]

they should add a settings where you can remove voice filters

[green jolt]

it just seems unnecessary

voice changers exist

I don't like it and that's it

[nimble spire]

wait

i lied

[green jolt]

waiting

[nimble spire]

i unlocked 5

sorry had to correct my misinfo

[green jolt]

you know what awaits you

[nimble spire]

OH GOD DAMNIT I MISSED EVEN MORE

its 7

[fallow lintel]

well it makes sense, your name is Spheres Jimmony not Spheres Truthteller

[green jolt]

annihilation, destruction, torture, execution, disembodiment, suffering, death

[tiny spoke]

hi guys, quick question. do y'all know if the Beta version of the next update comes out earlier then the full update( if yes, when?)

[green jolt]

nope

the update is in 6 days, there'd be no point in beta

[tiny spoke]

true. thanks anyways

[split wyvern]

Hello i just bought the game and played for a few hours

[lucid jewel]

Idk if ill be called a baby or loser or something. But the mcjannek station is the scariest map in this game to me, the environment, the ambience is the scariest out of any level, and much more, i genuinely cry out of fear and other things while playing or after i beat the map, even in public lobbies (either i get humilated by them or they comfort me), i usually stop playing for hours after beating the map (sometimes i quit while playing in it)

[daring niche]

are you enjoying it so far?

[pure swift]

if you get called a baby or a loser for playing a horror game and getting scared then we know who the baby loser really is.

[split wyvern]

Never had so much fun

[daring niche]

that's good!

i recommend playing a bit more to get used to it, since a huge update is on its way

[split wyvern]

I think iam used to it, or at least learned about most monsters

The farthest i made it was level 6, it got too hard and we just keep dying at that level

[lucid jewel]

I think i forgot to mention that the map is similar to some childhood trauma i had related to being stuck inside a building vaguely similar to the station, i wont go any deeper than that

[daring niche]

hey, that's not bad for your first time!

and i'd say you're ready for the update

[split wyvern]

The lobby had a good teamwork

[split wyvern]

It's ok buddy horror games are made to scare you so you could laugh at them, if you are alone you will be scared bc no one is around to laugh with or be goofy around

[lucid jewel]

I still cry in public servers

[split wyvern]

I remember screaming like a little girl multiple times

[lucid jewel]

Its like 30% chance

80% chance solo

[daring niche]

if i ever play with you, i'll make sure to stay by your side as best as i can every time we go to mcjannek

[lucid jewel]

The other maps are fine, theyre just fantasy to me

[split wyvern]

I mean if a game makes you cry you don't have to play it? Once you are in that map you hate you can reset the game as a host

[lucid jewel]

I toggled the map off with mods during solo, and i cry less in multiplayer so thats fine

[flint solar]

R.E.P.O.

[split wyvern]

Btw how do you all get mods?

[inland latch]

Thunderstore mod manager

[split wyvern]

I have that for lethal company, but playing modded was so hard to plan
Playing Repo tho i found a few modded lobbies but i could join them all without having any mods on

[inland latch]

Mkay

[stiff raven]

It takes practice. Took me months of playing to get to at least level 20 even with weapons like the shoot gun or photon blaster haha

[split wyvern]

I thought the green flying ghost was not shootable (well how could you shoot a ghost?) and so i didn't try to shoot it and it killed me, later my teammate told me to just shoot it

[stiff raven]

Yea it can be shot lol. Just takes good aim

[split wyvern]

Last round we were about to finally win with the last extraction point and one big thing that was 25K but a laser guy shot me and it fell in a whole so we lost bc we had no money or ammo to kill monsters

[stiff raven]

Yea the monsters are annoying that way lol

[split wyvern]

They destroyed like 75K worth of items that game lol

I think we were just bad

[stiff raven]

They are out to ruin our day lol.

[split wyvern]

Like, a gas propane tank fell and fired in my face killing me, later 2 others tried to take it and they both died the same way, finally a 4th wanted to use it as a weapon but shot himself and died too

[stiff raven]

I play solo myself so I’ve learned to keep my head on a swivel and ears open for noises. I also use mods too

You learn to make plans in multiplayer.

[split wyvern]

We have a saying where i live,
"Fear your Enemy once and your friend 1000 times"

[stiff raven]

Hahaha

[daring niche]

the game works just as well in singleplayer as it does in multiplayer so you can use it to practice if you need to

unlike some other games...

cough cough lethal company

[split wyvern]

I tried it once
It was boring tbh
Iam A social guy online, I can't play solo

[stiff raven]

I play solo now because of a person who was once a friend I used to play with ghosted me for awhile, than we had an argument so I decided to play solo to save myself of the trouble of finding new people to play with

[split wyvern]

Yeah it's in my game library sitting bc no friends of mine play it or are free to play, it also got way harder recently they need to add a difficulty mod

[daring niche]

i'm never going back to that game after playing repo

lethal company is almost impossible because you can easily get fucked over on level one

even in multiplayer

[split wyvern]

The new jaguar and maps are terrifying tbh

Which game is the scariest? LC
Which is more fun? Repo

[daring niche]

i have seen the new update
the ideas themselves are nice, but at the end of the day it's just "how many more ways can you get fucked over?"

anyway, this is repo chat

we talk repo

[split wyvern]

Hmm then i have a question

How many levels of strength do you need to carry monsters alone?

[stiff raven]

I’ve seen around 13 mentioned. I go to 14 or 15 in case I ever feel like trying lol

[daring niche]

depends on the monster

[split wyvern]

Woa, highest i ever got is like 4 or 5

[stiff raven]

It’s like Cobra said it also depends on the monster. Something like Loom could take more

[split wyvern]

The red giant? He needed 4 laser beams to die
Or 1 grenade and 1 laser

[daring niche]

the highest strength you need for the strongest monsters is 13

[stiff raven]

Last I checked Loom wasn’t red lol.

[split wyvern]

No idea what monsters are called, i just name what i see lol

[stiff raven]

Lol is the one your thinking of let out a scream when he sees you and throws his head?

[daring niche]

no, he's talking about trudge

[stiff raven]

Oh right forgot about Trudge lol

[split wyvern]

No that multiface guy is disgusting
The one i meant has a hammer and 1 eye and he bulls you towards him when he slams the floor with it

[stiff raven]

Yup thats Trudge than your thinking of

[split wyvern]

Loom is the multifacer or the laser clown?

[stiff raven]

THe multiple face guy is Clean Up Crew and the laser guy is just called Clown. Loom is the giant woman who slowly comes for you. Her most evident thing is the hands that pop on screen when she targets you

[wooden osprey]

Can you tell which ones are attracted by noise besides the blindfolded shotgun dude?

[split wyvern]

I see, yeah honestly she is the scariest one to me

[stiff raven]

I believe Huntsman and Reaper are the only ones attracted to sounds of the player. Reaper is the one with blades for hands

[split wyvern]

She follows noises too? Didn't know that

[stiff raven]

You learn to deal with her. She's easy to outrun as you get more stamina. Have a Photon Blaster and two shots deal with her. Or get to a high place until she runs away

[split wyvern]

I meant she is just genuinely scary to me lol

[last oasis]

Yeah

[split wyvern]

Go on

[stiff raven]

That to lol. She was creepy to me at first as well than I was like "eh shes slow so can easily go to high place" lol

[split wyvern]

Btw how to deal with the bicycle?

[last oasis]

I haven't played with randos, but I think it can be fun with anyone

Or maybe not @nimble spire so I've heard

[stiff raven]

If you listen and hear her sounds jump up onto something high til she passes or just off here lol

[nimble spire]

IT VERY MUCH DEPENDS ON THE PERSON

i have the patience to sift through the shitty lobbys to find the gold

[fallow lintel]

randoms are much more fun when you go into it with the mindset of having fun rather than trying to get to high rounds

[split wyvern]

Like any game of you are lucky you will have good teammates or if not then toxic ones but so far i think the game community is supportive

[stiff raven]

Yea its definatly like any game community. You get the weird but funny people and than just the toxic people out to ruin your day

[daring niche]

i have a lot of fun joining groups here rather than browsing the in game server list

i never had any issues doing it that way

[split wyvern]

I might come here often too

[stiff raven]

Yea I just save myself the trouble and play by myself

[split wyvern]

Wanna play with me later? Not today or tomorrow tho it's 2:40 am and tomorrow i have a dentist appointment

[lucid jewel]

Every monster (apart from a select few) is attracted to noise

[cursive bane]

peanut or done?

[stiff raven]

I was looking at the wiki page and it said only Reaper and Huntsman were attracted to noise. Was that changed or did I read wrong lol

[fallow lintel]

the wiki is definitely wrong lol

[stiff raven]

Ah gotcha lol

[fallow lintel]

very few, like Peeper (cuz it doesn't need noise), aren't attracted to noise

[lucid jewel]

Shadow child too, and possibly the oogly, but i havent tested yet

[stiff raven]

Wonder if Mentalist can be one of the few to. Don’t know though

[lucid jewel]

Nope

[daring niche]

the oogly's spawn mechanics are weird to me

[stiff raven]

Oogly is just weird in general lol

[lucid jewel]

He still confuses me, one of the only monsters that i dont know fully how they work

[daring niche]

what i wanna know about him the most is how he chooses what room to patrol

is it based on sound or just random?

it seems very random but i could be wrong

[stiff raven]

Could be random every time I see him he’s in a different room to me

[daring niche]

in my experience, he's always a room away from me

well, most of the time

[woven adder]

TR varmi

[stiff raven]

huh

[grim birch]

rawr

[calm obsidian]

Yoo

Anyone got any tips for higher levels?

[fallow lintel]

try to be fast so monsters have less time to kill you
smaller items can generally be ignored as the game spawns plenty of large items that are occasionally worth the entire extract (depending on the level)
avoid pits like your life depends on it. oh wait, it does.

[calm obsidian]

Ok. Tysm!!

[stiff raven]

So true about the pits lol

[dark sable]

did anyone notice from the video released today that Pontus said "Get to the shop, get rewarded", and "Can we make it? yes!" as in getting to the shop isn't guaranteed?

[daring fable]

hi

[fierce dawn]

oh geez, I've just noticed the release date of the REPO cosmetics update is the exact same day as the Two Point Museum art DLC. both of which require extensive play to unlock new items/features. And 2 days before, Phasmophobia with cosmetics too! I'm gonna be pulled 3-ways! D:

May's a crazy month this year

[daring niche]

i'm assuming the "can we make it?" was because it kept breaking for them in testing

and that time it finally worked

[dark sable]

maybe

probaby ngl

[fallow lintel]

TECHNICALLY getting to the shop isn't guaranteed if you have really bad luck in level 1

[daring niche]

i guess players with less experience won't make it to the first shop, to be fair

well, they might have trouble is what i meant to say

i sounded like an asshole the first time

[lean birch]

i have now developed a lil hate towards manor, dunno if u guys recall on later lvs the room that you have to go upstairs to a floor where it has a bathroom and once again downstairs, but i had the disdain and bad luck of being connected to the room with the chimney, tight corridors and the medium sized spacce with 2 safes, Mentalist popped in the corner with my 41k cart worth in orbs and destroyed all orbs

[nova musk]

update gonna be peak

[proud fossil]

Is anyone having high ping problems in USA East region trying to play rn?

[daring niche]

a lot of people have been lately

[proud fossil]

Oh okay good its not me then

[lean birch]

i think on the wiki you can look up the room as Tower and the one that i bumped into mentalist called Treasure Trove, but i was referred to those two

[tame grove]

7 days

[lean birch]

question: at 15 strength, is feather drone for things like piano, big green finger, generator etc, no longer needed? cuz am already at lv 13 strength by lv 19 map

and i mean no longer needed as in by that lv of strength if i can carry them as if i had innate feather drone or very lightweight and go fast

[fallow lintel]

The double stairwell room in manor is objectively worse than mcjannek vent room and I cannot be convinced otherwise

The last time I got it, it was literally the room right outside of the truck

[nimble spire]

heres my take on it

do you have enough strength that YOU PERSONALLY feel like a feather drone is no longer needed?

because for me, i will keep feather until i have like 25 strength

[fallow lintel]

25??

woah

I usually ditch feather drone at abt 12 strength lol

[lean birch]

like i can carry at ease things like paintings, coffins, massive computers and i feel comfortable with the speed WITH those in general

[nimble spire]

all that means is i value the increased speed of feather drone more than you

and theres no correct opinion

[lean birch]

but when i wanna speedrun through rooms and saving invuln dron charges for other crap

is there like a rough estimate like feather is the equivalent of having +5 or +10 strength?

[nimble spire]

let me simplify it even more

what would you value more
the extra speed of moving items from the feather drone
an extra weapon to deal with enemies

[pure swift]

feather just sets the weight of an object to 0 i think

or 0.5 i dont remember

[lean birch]

i am at the point where a good amount of tier 3 (if they are divided like that, dunno, heavy valuables) i can carry and feel comfortable with the speed i go with, it is just SOME heavy valuables i still feel like i have to slow down my running

[lean birch]

i value more the extra weapon, but i have been bringing lately the feather drone on my cart to also use

[nimble spire]

then there you go

[lean birch]

not with ALL heavy valuables but with the ones that my current level can go with the zoomies and speed

[nimble spire]

theres no single best option

[pure swift]

valuables have 7 tiers

or ig types

[lean birch]

one thing i still havent beeen able to get is the zero grav drone, i wanna try stuff like having a big prized valuable like hanging in the air inside the perimeter of extract point and count towards the extract

[nimble spire]

i... uh

ima be so real that is just not worth the effort 99% of the time

like sure you get one big thing outa the way but like... ive never done it and not instantly looked down and think "man i coulda just put that right there... why am i using energy for this"

[lean birch]

it is more so on VERY situational scenarios that for example "oh map, spawned 3 baby heads that consume a good portion of the are of extract point, but you right, in general it is more like, "ah shit, oh well just bring the heavy stuff that remained to next extract"

[nimble spire]

i just mean moreso that you would need a LOT and i mean FUCK TON of shit to put in one extract for this piece of tech to be of any actual advantage

cause you can squeese like 170k in one extract if your good about it, on solo and thats like half of a late game levels value

[merry tangle]

will the game save after me and my gf buy stuff from the shop and start up the truck? when we reach the new lvl can she return to the main menu to keep our save?

[tidal solar]

yes

[dapper wolf]

sorry if I missed it in the video but do we know if cosmetics save between runs? Im assuming yes but I still want to be sure

[daring niche]

yes, you keep them forever

otherwise there would be no point in even getting them

[hybrid python]

tbf it would definitely add more prestige to high level attempts

[daring niche]

all it would do is make cosmetics irrelevant

which was the whole point of this update

[tidal solar]

i wish you got both arm / leg pieces at once

i feel like if u wanna get a full set its gonna take tens of hours

[hybrid python]

Idk, if cosmetics were per run, I'd find something very very special about a save file that has all cosmetics. That'd have to take a good long while

[dapper wolf]

yeah that makes the most sense I was just worried it was going to be something like "see how many you can get in one run!"

[tidal solar]

id hate that though if i played with a friend and he hosted i could only use my cosmetics when he hosted

[hybrid python]

For most peoples' sakes, I'm glad cosmetics aren't per run, and are just permanently unlocked

But man it'd be kinda a cool novelty to have all cosmetics, especially considering cosmetics are just that: cosmetics, and don't have an effect on gameplay

[tidal solar]

im going to try and get all of them

[hybrid python]

I mean, everyone's gonna

[tidal solar]

im guessing its gonna take maybe like 30 or 40 hours to get all of them but

[hybrid python]

But like, imagine there's that one guy that just gets all of them in one run

That'd be quite the legendary singleplayer save

[tidal solar]

everyone in the run gets the tokens

oh nvm i see what u mean

[hybrid python]

Oh that's really lame :/

Yeah I'm speaking hypotheticals here

[tidal solar]

how is that lame it would be super unfair if one person got it

[hybrid python]

I mean, that's fair Ig

[tidal solar]

yeah i dont want to play with a group of friends then have to rotate who gets the crate

[hybrid python]

I don't really think about other people when playing this game I'll be completely honest. I imagine the progression of this game in a singleplayer context, never a multiplayer context

[tidal solar]

especially like i said earlier if u wanna get a full set its gonna take hours

[tidal solar]

this game is mainly a multiplayer game tho

[hybrid python]

Yeah I always forget that

[tidal solar]

i like that they do care about singleplayer tho

[hybrid python]

Honestly this cosmetics update will 100% make singleplayers trying to unlock cosmetics have a tougher time

There's no question about it

[daring niche]

it will

[tidal solar]

couldnt you just use a mod like imperium to get all cosmetics in under an hour

[hybrid python]

Which is what slightly ticks me off about the cosmetic update

[tidal solar]

im obviously not going to do that since that ruins the fun but like im curious abt that

[hybrid python]

It is inherently biased towards multiplayer lobbies and will strictly make singleplayer gameplay harder

[daring niche]

but let's be honest, this is mainly a multiplayer game

[tidal solar]

its optional to get cosmetics

[hybrid python]

Yeah I'm kinda a loner. I don't like playing with people. For those people that have others to play with, this is gonna be a great update

But for us singleplayers, well... :/

[tidal solar]

how is this a bad update for singleplayer? slows u down?

[hybrid python]

I'm assuming that cosmetics don't have any monetary value and thus don't contribute to extraction value. Thus that's extra space and time spent transporting an item that doesn't actually help you win the game

[pure swift]

if a game is made for multiplayer then you need to balance it around multiplayer. yes there are some compensations that could be made, but other things will be harsher on solos. but you cant forget that you should never incentivize playing with less people.

[tidal solar]

they are adding defibro though isnt that a good tradeoff

[hybrid python]

I have my... reserved opinions about the defibro.

[tidal solar]

??? whats wrong with it

i do have a problem with the walkie talkies ngl

like its a cool original way to do them but man is it gonna be annoying to use

[hybrid python]

Gotta disagree on that one. Simply being able to play with multiple people should always be considered a point in favor of players wanting to play the game. Designing your game around having 4 players leads to a lot of balance issues

[hybrid python]

It's not the defibro itself that I really have problems with, but it tells me isntead where the devs' priorities are in terms of updating their game

[tidal solar]

im confused elaborate

[hybrid python]

Okay, so, how many hours do you have in the game? I'mjust curious

[tidal solar]

if its about difficulty the game is already on the hard side i think this is good

[tidal solar]

100 exactly

[hybrid python]

Okay that's probably why you're so confused

[tidal solar]

um how many hours do i need to learn how the devs should make the game

[daring niche]

i have almost 300 hours and i'm also confused

[reef gazelle]

guys is your extracion point just never extracting? prob bc of mods but with

[hybrid python]

without mods, this never happens to me. There's a good shot it's one of your mods

[pure swift]

we dont know that

[hybrid python]

I think it's a very very very fair assumption to make

[pure swift]

-# well i do but you dont

[tidal solar]

be for real though at level 500 cosmetics arent going to take up a lot of space

[hybrid python]

Especc ially since the devs themselves released a video of them spefically showing how extracting these cosmetic boxes only rewards taxman tokens

You'd think the devs would say "Oh, common boxes also reward you 10k on your current extraction"

[pure swift]

i dont think they will at level 20 either

[hybrid python]

but they didn't

[tidal solar]

why would you get money for cosmetic boxes

[daring niche]

you don't

[hybrid python]

well cuz then you'll be spending a good chunk of time transporting an item that will take up space on the extraction point and not actually contribute any money to it.

[daring niche]

i could tell from the devlog

[tidal solar]

yeah but it gives you a cosmetic

completely optional if u choose to take it or not

i really hope there arent duplicates like that would be the most annoying thing of all time

[hybrid python]

Maybe I just think a little differently from some people, but I would never purposely leave any significant items out in most extraction points

unless I'm on like level 40 and it's a 600 dollar item or something

later on when the player gets a whle bunch of upgrades, and more extraction points, I suppose it wouldn't be that big of an issue but it still kinda irks me

[daring niche]

i'm assuming duplicates won't be a thing

[tidal solar]

well if you havee all cosmetics ur not going to take the crates no? so like what ur saying doesnt make sense either way

[hybrid python]

That's a problem I'd have personally

[tidal solar]

also can u elaborate on the defibro thing im curious what u mean

[hybrid python]

If you put it in the level, you should be incentivized to take it. Period.

[tidal solar]

u are with tokens

[hybrid python]

yeah sorry we went off on a tangent lol that's my fault

[tidal solar]

they might completely not spawn in solo runs if u have every cosmetic tho

[hybrid python]

I've gotten to fairly high levels, and one thing I have a very big problem with is a lot of the game's design once you put upgrades into the mix

[tidal solar]

too easy?

[hybrid python]

I have clipped through walls with speed upgrades that are too high. I've taken damage where I shouldn't have because an item was too close to me and dropped like 1 cm. I've lost runs to the infamous bowtie stunlock bug. I've lost runs to guns misfiring on me even though there's no reality where they would even misfire. The game's physics engine itself is very buggy and held together with duct tape and prayers, and it gets more and more obvious the farther into the game you get

As much as a defibro would be a way to counter these occurrences, it doesn't actually stop the occurrences altogether from happening

[tidal solar]

ive personally never seen or heard of these bugs myself but like

[hybrid python]

The game's physics engine itself is BS. It's far and away the most dangerous thing to the player

[daring niche]

okay, we're moving on
i'm cringing

[hybrid python]

And the devs making a defibro kinda makes me feel like the devs don't really... care? That the game is like that?

[tidal solar]

cringing from what lmao

[daring niche]

this is just the most backwards ass thing i've ever heard

we're moving on

[hybrid python]

Not sure what he's getting at, either

[tidal solar]

yeah idk me personally ive genuinely never had a buggy mess like that and ive gotten to high levels

[daring niche]

-# skill issue

[hybrid python]

But to anybody that actually plays the game substantially, it's no secret that the game is a uh... very glitchy mess

[pure swift]

the speed upgrades one is very real and very achievable in normal gameplay. slightly unrelated but i have been hella advocating for a sprint speed nerf, it seriously needs one.

tripping over valuables is more user error id say than physics system issue. not that it isnt a bit of both though.

bowtie stunlock still exists (and hes not the only enemy that can stunlock either)

gun misfire thing confuses me. seems like user error

[tidal solar]

i know about the speed upgrade one but i just dont go over 4 speed

for sure a bug but if you are aware of it then dont get too much

[hybrid python]

I feel like the physics engine itself, not just for the player, but for the item collision, needs a rework. I'm tired of moving my coffin 1 millimeters and it taking 10% of its value in damage from releasing left click while not crouching

[pure swift]

but the game needs to be able to account for the people who do. you cant just make everyone impose their own speed limit, at no point should UPgrades be NOT worth it

[hybrid python]

Another thing I'm not a big fan of is how the game doesn't explicitly tell the user when an upgrade stops being useful i.e. a hidden 10 range cap

[tidal solar]

true, but doesnt strength become useless after 14?

[pure swift]

its 6

[hybrid python]

Nope.

[hybrid python]

I thought 5 was for holding range and 10 was for grab range?

[daring niche]

you're both wrong, it's actually 8 🤭

[tidal solar]

what is it better at

[pure swift]

holding range im not sure (i dont know if it was properly confirmed)

grab range is 6 max

[hybrid python]

so you can only hold an item so far out, but you can grab an item from further away than you can hold it with more range upgrades

[tidal solar]

idk i only know strength stuff from the release

[tidal solar]

mmm ok

i was thinking of grabbing enemies

[hybrid python]

Back to the point, the game currently doesn't actually stop players from investing into an upgrade when it physically doesn't benefit the player

[pure swift]

technically range does have a benefit past 6

[hybrid python]

Which gets on my nerves

[tidal solar]

i kind of like that for some reason gives a feel of freedom

[hybrid python]

a freedom to just waste money on something that doesn't actually do anything?

[tidal solar]

well what are you buying past level 150 when you already have everything

[pure swift]

tumble climb is also based on range upgrades, but unlike normal grabbing, tumble climb range is not limited, so going past 6 range works in favour of tumble climb

[hybrid python]

I mean... okay... it's your money, you do what you want with it Ig

[eternal iron]

this dude reminds me of how one of the devs was joking about people being ungrateful to the update or shi

[hybrid python]

extra jumps. stamina. health, anything that doesn't have a hard cap

[pure swift]

there is one upgrade (aside from range) that does have a cap tho

[tidal solar]

ok but why stop someone from getting speed 9 trillion. idk adding a cap to upgrades seems kinda useless to me imo

[pure swift]

death head battery

[hybrid python]

yep Ik about that one, although you need 1000 of those lol

[eternal iron]

that doesn't work on singleplayer

[hybrid python]

you can still buy it on singleplayer even if it doesn't do anything

[pure swift]

only 200 actually

[hybrid python]

I read on the wiki it was 1000? hmm...

Maybe I read from the wrong wiki

[daring niche]

which i honestly think they should change

[eternal iron]

never believe what you see on the internet

[hybrid python]

They should really change a LOT about the game

[daring niche]

moving on

[tidal solar]

Bro

[pure swift]

at around 200 dhb will give 2 minutes worth of battery, every subsequent upgrade is too little of a difference to matter at all

[rustic swan]

Yo anyone wanna join my game

[tidal solar]

defibro seems cool but im curious does it have like a timer in singleplayer until u just lose or do u spectate it idk

[hybrid python]

I'd love to see the documentation of upgrade effectiveness calculations based on the game's code, that'd be really interesting to see

[eternal iron]

if you dont like it then just dont play the game and move on

[hybrid python]

Well it'll res you at the last minute

[pure swift]

i made a desmos chart of it at some point but im in bed rn

[tidal solar]

my biggest worry is if u leave it in some random room then you die far away, and it gets stuck

[hybrid python]

I'm not really ungrateful for the game, I'm just talking about some genuine issues the game has, and how it's my personal opinion that the devs focusing on adding content that seems to skirt the game's fundamental problems seems a bit insincere, that's all

[pure swift]

i have a screenshot that i can send tho

[eternal iron]

buddy the physics is what makes the game fun

[hybrid python]

I had seen it pursue players, interesting

[eternal iron]

its like garry's mod

[tidal solar]

assuming 95% of players are casual and die before level 10 im glad and understand why they are focusing more on content then fixes late game

[hybrid python]

I mean, if you find losing a large amount of value from pulling an item 1 millimeter and setting it down, then Ig that's fine. I just happen to disagree after having experienced it so much

[pure swift]

we know from a devlog that defibro will stall the game if need be

[eternal iron]

just buy the indestructible drone

its not that big of a deal

[tidal solar]

what im saying if ur not using drones before level 10 ur not playing the game right

[hybrid python]

If you have it. I've had the indestrictible drone only appear on around 20 for me before.

Playing without it for that long was one of the worst experiences ever, and something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy

[eternal iron]

oh yeah i forgot i only play moded

[hybrid python]

I've played without getting a weapon better than the frying pan until level 18

[tidal solar]

also in the devlog it shows a new sort of docks service station so like

are they gonna change locations

[hybrid python]

It's all doable, but it's not as simple as "just get lucky enough for the one item meant to solve the game's jank to appear in your shop"

[eternal iron]

i play with moreshopitems and i dont have this issue

[tidal solar]

a worry i have is the new shops ngl

[hybrid python]

then what that tells me is that you are not really able to understand the game from a non-modded perspective

[eternal iron]

ofc quality of life mods solve everything but people like the vanilla experience

[tidal solar]

they showed it in the new devlog and it looks empty asf

[daring niche]

yeah, i've always thought the shop rng was a bit bs, i'll agree with you on that

[hybrid python]

It'd be interesting, and equally annoying, if the items that could appear depended on the shop type

[hybrid python]

It'd bother me less if the items themselves weren't so imbalanced

[eternal iron]

i mean i've played vanilla a couple of time and i sure as hell agree with you

the randomness of the shop is completely bs

[hybrid python]

Why is a frying pan, which deals 18 damage per hit, the same cost as a gun, which deals 50 damage, and has more shots

[tidal solar]

yeah i love the way the new shops look but if you have to get through multiple extractions to find an item ur looking for its over

[pure swift]

gun does 80

[hybrid python]

Okay I gotta be reading the wrong wiki if that's the case

point is

[eternal iron]

still even with more shop items i still lose because of the map having holes or the monsters

[pure swift]

ill be ur wiki

[eternal iron]

for example the robe

[daring niche]

ok, if that's your point then you're losing me

[hybrid python]

so how much damage does a frying pan deal?

[tidal solar]

can i be so fr how do u have fun with a game like repo if you know every stat and have it memorized

[pure swift]

18

[hybrid python]

this is shop rng Im talking about

[pure swift]

because its replayable

[hybrid python]

You can get a frying pan, or a gun, or a toy hammer, or any of those weapons, and only some of them are actually worth getting.

[pure swift]

although a lot of my fun comes from modding the game as well

[tidal solar]

yea but like i learned a lot about lethal when it first came out and got bored of it super fast

[hybrid python]

Optimization is fun. Getting as far as you can with game knowledge is fun

[pure swift]

modding as in making mods not using them

[tidal solar]

repo kinda on release

[pure swift]

i have 1700+ hours on lethal and still going

[daring niche]

the price thing wasn't i was talking about

[hybrid python]

I know way way way more about lethal than repo, and it's more fun to me than repo just because of how dastardly difficult it is

[tidal solar]

ima be honest when they added the giant robot things and the truck i stopped playing so idk whats new

[pure swift]

aint no way v50 was your stopping point

[tidal solar]

im not a fan of the quota system in lethal but i like how it looks

[hybrid python]

lots of things

[daring niche]

i moved to repo because of lethal company

[eternal iron]

my stopping point is level 12 because i died

[tidal solar]

slow dev times and the truck was kinda lame
also my friends lost interest so i never played again

it seems fun tho i might try it again

[eternal iron]

and im trying to get back

[hybrid python]

I tried repo first, moved to lethal company because I heard it was so much harder, stayed in lethal because the game doesn't become a snoozefest the second your shop luck is good

[daring niche]

because i hated getting fucked over on level one, even in multiplayer

[eternal iron]

but someone at semiwork decided that it would be cool to add 1 tier 3 enemy in level 1

[hybrid python]

My takes are from playing the game well past level 100, so maybe that's why I have the opinion i do?

[pure swift]

yea v55 was absolute ass but v50 alone added like 500 hours to my playtime (easily the best LC update and still is)

[tidal solar]

a big problem i have with lethal is when they add a new monster it can take hours to even encounter it
so when i finally got my friends on we played for like 3 hours just to find no new content and leave

[hybrid python]

Repo is at its funnest and most interesting until you get any weapon that deals large amounts of damage

the minute you get a gun, or a shotgun, or a sledge, every single enemy becomes the exact same, a damage sponge meant to be killed for more money

That is not the case with lethal

[pure swift]

both combat systems have their flaws

[eternal iron]

so swaggies

i have one question for you

[tidal solar]

true i hope one day they make it so every enemy in repo can spawn in one run 🙏

[pure swift]

repo is just get shotgun and every enemy is the same

lethal is circle strafe simulator

[tidal solar]

lethal companies movement is actually so horrible too thats why i dont like it as much

[hybrid python]

that's pretty fair

[eternal iron]

do the cosmetic boxes get rarer with the more levels you complete

[hybrid python]

We have no idea yet

[pure swift]

i do but you dont™

[tidal solar]

dont think so

i think they might be more common since theres more rooms but again idk

[eternal iron]

your opinion makes no sense

[hybrid python]

If I were the one developing the game, I'd make it so that cosmetic boxes are more abundant the higher the level you go, since you have more extraction points and are more likely to have the tools required to deal with them

[tidal solar]

what opinion

[hybrid python]

But that's just me

[eternal iron]

wdym dont think so

[pure swift]

has anyone thought about what happens if you put the feather drone on the vehicles

[tidal solar]

why would they get rarer the more levels you complete

[hybrid python]

By the way, swaggies, as someone that has played the game a whole ton, I have a question for you

[daring niche]

okay, when you start with "if i was a developer", you lose the interest of many people

[eternal iron]

to get you to play more

i mean its obvious

[tidal solar]

idk go test it

[pure swift]

i did

[daring niche]

pfft

[hybrid python]

glad to see you're not one of the people whose interest I lost, considering you took time out of your day to respond to my message lol

[eternal iron]

do they fly?

[tidal solar]

wouldnt that just make resetting to level 1 everytime u get a few boxes the way to go

[pure swift]

does the cart "fly"?

[eternal iron]

kind of

[daring niche]

you sound so full of shit when you say that tho

[pure swift]

ai response

[hybrid python]

And you are free to think that. I am also free not to care at all about what you have to say about it

[tidal solar]

nah some people just talk like that its weird

[eternal iron]

dude if that ends up being true im gonna blame it all on you

[tidal solar]

bro why do you want it to get rarer the later the game

[pure swift]

then yeah probably

[hybrid python]

It wouldn't make sense for boxes to get rarer as the game goes on

[eternal iron]

it makes sense to me

[tidal solar]

yeah theres no point in doing that

[hybrid python]

I'd love if the number of boxes that appeared per level increased with how far along in the game you were

[tidal solar]

lemme ask u this

[pure swift]

i think they meant that boxes have a more favourable rarity the later into the game you are

[hybrid python]

i.e. more boxes at level 20 than at level 1

[tidal solar]

why would a smaller map have more boxes then a large map

[hybrid python]

That makes the most sense to me, since it incentivizes players to get to higher levels

[pure swift]

rarity as in their classification (common/uncommon/etc)

[eternal iron]

thats what im saying

[hybrid python]

Higher l evels also have more extraction points, thus more opportunities to extract more boxes

[tidal solar]

mmmm yeah i like that then if thats what they mean

[hybrid python]

oh I see. It would still make sense for there to be MORE boxes per level the higher the level too though, at least to me

[eternal iron]

yeah bro like

[pure swift]

both are plausible

if balanced

[tidal solar]

again tho i wish u unlocked both arm pieces at a time thats actually going to annoy me so much

[eternal iron]

its gonna make no sense to find a ultra rare box at level 1

[hybrid python]

both make sense, but I have no idea how they'll be distributed

[hybrid python]

honestly I'm sure the devs would fix that with enough people being upset about it. and the complaint makes sense

[eternal iron]

not in launch but maybe in a later patch

[hybrid python]

Also swaggies, small question for you, I just wanna see if you have the same stance I do: Do you think the indestructible drone is actually kinda.. too op?

[pure swift]

i think it shouldnt work the way it does

[eternal iron]

brother

[pure swift]

bro i need to tjink before i type

[eternal iron]

i give up talking with you

[hybrid python]

It's fine lol, it's late

[hybrid python]

wait we were talking?

[tidal solar]

idk atp im questioning if u even like the game at this point

i js said at this point twice oml

[hybrid python]

There are some parts of the game I like. There are some parts I dislike.

[pure swift]

id say the only change i want is to make inde's battery based on how much damage it absorbs, thats about it. i dont like that its just a 100% safe bypass where you are incentivized to just drag shit around as fast as you can to conserve the battery

[eternal iron]

i think someones ragebaiting on purpose or is it just me that i love the game so much that just a bit of negativity is enough to make me mad

[daring niche]

no, they're just genuinely an asshole

[tidal solar]

its feedback but some of their suggestions are wild

[hybrid python]

The big thing I like about it is that even though lethal and repo both focus on transporting of items to a sort of "safe zone", repo and lethal play fundamentally differently, since repo items can take damage and lethal ones don't, so there's a transport logistics puzzle

[hybrid python]

you sound like another friend I know that reacts the same way

[pure swift]

i love repo but there are a lot of words i have for certain.. "mechanics" (including upcoming ones)

[eternal iron]

i've only played lethat company a couple of times and uhhh

sucks ass

[tidal solar]

mrgirl is definitely a sweat which im not a fan of sweats in any game not saying i have an issue with them
but like a lot of the times the sweats ruin the game for casuals

like being disappointed with more content rather than late game fixes is a bit wild imo

[hybrid python]

^ This. I like the game. But there are just... some things with the game that just...

tick me off, that shouldn't cause issues, but do

[eternal iron]

its just the way people play

i mean im a sweat myself

i got to level 5 in less than an hour

[hybrid python]

Not to be mean, but I really wouldn't call yourself that if you haven't even made it past level 12. At level 20 the game plays very differently than the previous 19 levels

[pure swift]

but when you pour a lot of your time into understanding a game on a super deep level, you can tell good from bad (from a balancing perspective) a lot better than casual players, and i dont mean in the favour of the players themselves but rather for the health of the game's balance

[hybrid python]

Monster orbs becoming explosive adds a whole new dimension to the game

Thank you, swaggies. You're doing a lot better at articulating that mentality than me lol

[eternal iron]

i blame jannek for the hellish ventilation module

[pure swift]

i havent been past level 28 (solo) though im always messing with the code a lot and probably know more than i should

[hybrid python]

Yeah that room is absolutely awful

[daring niche]

idk, i'm just a casual player, so i have an unbiased view of the game

[hybrid python]

I've personally gotten past level 100, and trust me, if you lose a game to a physics engine bug, you're gonna be very very upset.

[pure swift]

also because my attention span isnt good enough for runs to be super long. the game gets too boring after 10 levels in a row and a lot of the time its just a new save

[eternal iron]

i also blame whoever thought putting a tier 3 enemy in level 1 was a good idea

[hybrid python]

losing a game to something that a player doesn't have control of is a huge no-no.

[pure swift]

im going to mention death pits but will not open that giant can of worms

[hybrid python]

I have mixed opinions about death pits myself lol

[pure swift]

though its more the fault of the upgrade system rather than death pits existing

[rancid kelp]

i'm barging in on this late but level 100 is absolutely insane please give tips (i got slow poke mode on btw so will respond asap )

[hybrid python]

Yeah, I can give you all that I know, absolutely happy to help out!

[green jolt]

it is a good idea

[pure swift]

every level past 20 is the exact same. the key is just consistency

[eternal iron]

heres a suggestion for you, just dont buy so much upgrades

[hybrid python]

that's... really? So now it's the player's fault that they want to UPGRADE themselves?

[eternal iron]

i didn't say that the fault is the upgrades themselves

[pure swift]

irony

[eternal iron]

its the player's buying a lot

[hybrid python]

So it's the player's fault for buying upgrades.

My bad gang

[eternal iron]

i said a lot

[pure swift]

stop making money

[eternal iron]

not any

[hybrid python]

Sorry I want to be very very upgraded.

[pure swift]

matter of fact just uninstall the game

[rancid kelp]

my husband and i haven't gotten past like level 10 or 11 we are straight noobs and he's the better gamer but it's usually cause we can't dedicate that much time to a run.. level 100 just sounds like literal hell

[hybrid python]

I'll make sure not to buy "too many upgrades" next time

[hybrid python]

Yeah so, the trick is understanding which upgrades are important and which upgrades aren't important in like, the first 10-15 levels

[green jolt]

I mean if you buy for example more than 5 sprint speed for yourself you're kinda sabotaging yourself

[daring niche]

if you know it's a problem, then yeah, don't do it

[pure swift]

11 is great tho, thats already half of max difficulty knocked down

[eternal iron]

if you have like problems with big asf objects just use the drones given to you

[hybrid python]

*if you even get those drones in the first place

[pure swift]

except for when theyre not given to you

[hybrid python]

It hurts me knowing that there's such a thing as too much speed. There shouldn't be a point where buying more can actively sabotage the player

at that point, call it a "downgrade", not an "upgrade"

[pure swift]

tumble wings and launch too

[hybrid python]

^ oh don't even get me started

[eternal iron]

the problem is people buying too much shit they become a fucking killing machine but one slip up is all it takes for them to die

[tidal solar]

but doesnt this add difficulty and randomness to the game. idk i disagree with this whole drone thing

[green jolt]

I might've bought too many of those on my recent solo run hehe

[eternal iron]

like mrgirlrepellent noclipping thru the walls while running like sonic
