rogue-core-chat

[daring hill]

Tavi should define if they are actually aiming to give feedback here, but the wording didn't make it seem to not be feedback, at least for me

[slim hill]

Its also just really worth remembering that this is closed alpha gameplay. We arent even talking about a beta. Theres probably a lot on the drawing board that hasnt been implemented.

https://youtu.be/mK8OmHPZyFQ?si=nh-mNcsfjwxaaSez
For a tiny amount of context, DRG 8 years ago, pre-alpha teaser. Lots of time, leaps and bounds. Im way too excited to be disappointed.

[tall plume]

hard to give any actual feedback on something you haven't experienced.

[dusky badger]

im aiming to say that the upgrades look lame as hell in the trailer thats all

not saying they 100% will be on release

[slim hill]

I am quite fond of the fact that the logo looks unchanged. I can get behind a very nice logo.

[daring hill]

And that's fine, but IMO that means nothing. Not for the closed alpha that exists right now, not for early access, not for release

Like yeah the clips in the trailer for the upgrades could have been more interesting but that's all you can really say

[inner granite]

Acually, when was idea of DRG born?

[daring hill]

Project Dwarka

[slim hill]

Oh god Im not the right person to ask. 8+ years ago?

[daring hill]

https://youtu.be/XV-YcTWEGCQ

[slim hill]

love me some explorian

[young vessel]

they really explore the details of everything i hope the explorian explores rogue core enough to tell us when we should restart our runs for optimal performance

[slim hill]

How many people have access to the closed alpha right now? Is that known?

[young vessel]

like 3~ish people

[hollow bear]

A handful

[slim hill]

Oh okay lol

[summer seal]

oh lol

[young vessel]

definitely tommy, they've been in the ramrod for ~3 hours yesterday

[slim hill]

I spot some mods playing it and. MAN I wanna play too 🥺

[summer seal]

hope bullet hell or bouncy bullets are in some way in the game

love that overclock

don't think there are gonna be any overclocks tho

[inner granite]

Devs and some trusted friends/staff

[young vessel]

if they're going to have a bullet bounce overclock on like 3 different weapons in DRG they're definitely going to have an upgrade that does that

[inner granite]

Not us, yet

[summer seal]

i hope so

even if not i'm super excited the game looks amazing

[slim hill]

It kinda looks like the perks at the end of the supercuts are inspired by overclocks. The tradeoff makes sense for balanced and unstable overclocks, and the tamer looking ones could be place holders, or could just be the overclock without any negative (cant remember what its called)

[young vessel]

clean

green, clean, and really mean

[summer seal]

maybe we get something like drg survivor, some overclocks after a few upgrades

[slim hill]

"How to befriend the Ghost Ship" /j

[median sleet]

The DRG playtesters also have access

[slim hill]

thanks dawg

[slim hill]

perhaps perhaps.

[tall plume]

outside of the devs, about a dozen community testers.

[slim hill]

very tiny handful, got it got it.

[native monolith]

I’ve been looking through most of their windows to see if any of them have dropped keys

[inner granite]

Hey, Pounce, could you do me a quick favour and change my server nick to Rat?

[native monolith]

None have fallen out of pockets yet

[slim hill]

Is that something to expect???????

Im just keeping an eye on my email, and this chat now.

[inner granite]

Thanks

[tall plume]

not really lol

don't expect keys before a month or two

[native monolith]

No

“Weeks” is the timeframe

[tall plume]

I'm sure they'll do an announcement about when keys actually start dropping anyway

[native monolith]

Maybe they accidentally click 30 buttons in a row and send a key to you though idk

[crystal mulch]

When I can expect playtest of Rouge core ?

[median sleet]

in about a month

[crystal mulch]

oh

[fluid jacinth]

Just a month away

[crystal mulch]

I hope there will be a meme character (like driller)

[halcyon creek]

didn’t watch the stream yesterday, did devs state how many closed alpha copy’s would be going out when the play test goes live?

[inner granite]

Every time someone asks, devs add +1 week to the date

[main hinge]

Scammm

[inner granite]

@bitter hazel hi, i think it's a scam

Thanks

[inner granite]

"enough to get a proper feedback, not too much to not get overhelmed with it"

[halcyon creek]

ic, tysm 🫡

[inner granite]

-# devs just gonna roll 200d20

[halcyon creek]

😭

[north steeple]

Another day of waiting to Rock and Stone

[bold hawk]

that was fast

guys check it out, rouge core is out on steam, totaly 100% not a lie

oh btw is there going to be a rouge core discord for players more invested in rouge core (like the people in this chat) to speak about the game

[median sleet]

It's this server

[bold hawk]

yeah but i was thinking a place pictures and or intel can be shared without spoiling for those who did not get the playtest

[median sleet]

I assume they'll add new channels when the playtest goes public

[bold hawk]

fair

[olive narwhal]

I would also assume they would add more rogue specific channels when it reaches EA

[bold hawk]

true

just read the QnA and i believe it is possible to add a way to give friends access to the game, Deadlocked (valves own game) allows you to invite friends

[glossy heath]

By the way, the trailer is very clumsy in gathering resources - there are so many left, it's obvious they're not miners

[fluid jacinth]

So true

[hollow bear]

Reclaimers gonna reclaim

[errant kiln]

Core and rogue

[bold hawk]

watch the materials be used for upgrades in between runs

[inner granite]

Well, it's on steam, you didn't lie
Access to it is diffrend topic tho

[fluid jacinth]

They dont get paid for gathering stuff like drg miners they get paid for doing the job

[bold hawk]

they get paid with a letter saying "congrats you survived"

[fluid jacinth]

I actually wonder are the reclaimers just strictly better then the dwarfs at drg. Cus like Id imagine the drg workers are more "Hardy" working men who do that stuff in fast dives. Meanwhiles reclaimers are probably more about surviving for longer so they are more endurance focused.

[vagrant scaffold]

Every time someone calls the game "Rouge Core" instead of "Rogue Core" the devs remove their name from the keys lottery.

[bold hawk]

IT WAS A MISS INPUT

[olive hound]

DRG Dwarves looks and works like you "every" day Dwarf.

[vagrant scaffold]

I'm kidding lmao.

[bold hawk]

alright so rouge core...

[olive hound]

Reclaimers should be more proficient with a lot of weapons and other combat tactics.

[vagrant scaffold]

[olive hound]

Hence the all guns are available to all classes.

DRG Scout could not handle a mini gun, but all Reclaimers could.

[inner granite]

Elite miners are sent to where shit got real and bugs are eating you alive

Reclaimers are sent when the gateway to hell opens

[bold hawk]

fitting as one of the reclaimers looks like they could be doom guy

with the dam laser sword they have on there arm

[inner granite]

Acually, that green crystal "door" from the trailer... It could be something like a shield, to keep horrors inside

[fluid jacinth]

very possible, or its the core having weird walls that protect itself

[visual latch]

Every time they make that mistake, add more makeup to the dwarves

[bold hawk]

the core is alive

[olive hound]

-# the planet is alive.

[fluid jacinth]

The whole damn planet is alive

[inner granite]

The core hungers

[olive hound]

Maybe the spawn crawlers themselves are what makes the expenite.

[fluid jacinth]

They poop it out

[olive hound]

Why would the most precious mineral of them all be near the most dangerous thing in the planet?

[fluid jacinth]

Morkite seems its semi organic in nature

[inner granite]

Mom, can we have ebonite at home?
We have ebonite at home
Ebonite at home
...
I no longer want ebonite at home

[fluid jacinth]

probably works like Oil/fuel

[bold hawk]

STATUS UPDATE:

DWARF TEAM: RECLAIMERS
LOCATION: APROTCHING CORE
CURRENT OBJECTIVE: RECLAIM HOXES
DWARF KIND IS DEAD
GLYTHIDS IS FUEL
HOXES IS FULL

[fluid jacinth]

Maybe morkite is comparable to E710 from helldivers.

[inner granite]

Acually, it doesn't has to be
It is possible to grow minerals and crystals out of "seed" irl

[fluid jacinth]

Maybe its a waste product from digesting/processing expenite

[olive hound]

This could be like a HL2 situation.

[bold hawk]

It is just half life
core explodes, everyone is dead, invasion of horrors wipe out most dwarfs
core infuser explodes, everyone is dead, invasion of aliens wipe out most humans

[fluid jacinth]

Isnt there supposed to be a drg season that leads up to rogue core?

[inner granite]

pst

[bold hawk]

yeah this one right?

[inner granite]

It alredy was

S5

Corestone is exatly that

[fluid jacinth]

Yeah but thought it would go more then that

[olive hound]

Corestone have fleshy bits too

[bold hawk]

we are just discovering the corestone

[fluid jacinth]

Like part 2 of corestone shenanigans

[inner granite]

Nah, devs said that S6 will be something else, as i remember

[fluid jacinth]

Ah ok

[steel hearth]

When you collect a corestone MC sometimes says something about how they'll help locate deep sites

[bold hawk]

When is rouge core released?
When the bison gets buffed in a Team fortress 2 update

[inner granite]

Every question adds +1 week to relase date

[bold hawk]

so if we ask 52 times it comes out when it was planed

[forest rain]

hello chat what opinion does the community in general have on the game

[quartz trout]

Tomorrow

[olive hound]

11/10

[bold hawk]

I have no idea

[bold hawk]

A TF2 update? Screw rogue core im playing tf2

[forest rain]

thank you I will now retaliate to scream at a news reporter about how no one asked about his shitty opinion on why the game is bad and not needed in an informative article about early access

[quartz trout]

Oh you sweet summer child

[inner granite]

In 3 days

I mean in Alyx days

[bold hawk]

what is this 3 icon?

[native monolith]

I can read this as team fortress two or titanfall two and it hurts either way

[bold hawk]

well they are both good games that has had no updates for AGES

(sesonal events do not count)

[fluid jacinth]

I miss titanfall

[bold hawk]

G to preapair respects for titanfall

F to unleash respects

[obsidian mantle]

WHEN CAN I PLAY AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

[inner granite]

In 5 hours

[grave hatch]

GHOSTSHIP GAMES, GRANT ME ACCESS TO THE CLOSED ALPHA AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[heavy coral]

it's not true but maybe if I believe hard enough it will be

[inner granite]

It's 5h joke from other game

5h = never

[lethal quiver]

Is rogue core a new game or anew season un DRG?

[acoustic shell]

Is it bad that I think it'd be better if they pull a Forever Winter and launch Rogue Core as it is so they get more data and player feedback?

[ruby root]

Is there a age minimum for the testers of rouge core?

[acoustic shell]

dont think so.

[median sleet]

There's no way they can enforce that

[ruby root]

Ok thanks.

[acoustic shell]

same here.

[lethal warren]

yes, and you need to be an actual dwarf to play it

[ruby root]

have people already gotten in

[acoustic shell]

no

[ruby root]

I figured

Man if we all get in this is gona be a blast testing everything

[lethal quiver]

Is it a new game? Or is it the next season of DRG?

[ruby root]

new game

[acoustic shell]

I think people will start getting in the closed alpha in like a few weeks?

[acoustic shell]

New game.

[ruby root]

Ok thanks a lot 🙂

[acoustic shell]

Season 6 will be coming after the EA release of Rogue Core.

[ruby root]

so around middle to end of the year then

[lethal quiver]

Oh. So they won't stop updating it. Sick

[acoustic shell]

EA Release is planned for November of this year.

[native monolith]

12 seconds. If you still can’t play at the end of those 12 seconds, repeat the process.

Eventually, you will play rogue core

[ruby root]

thanks for the info vex big help

[native monolith]

Probably end of this year at the earliest, start of next year for season six I’d say

[ruby root]

sounds good

[native monolith]

They’re only focusing on rogue core till it’s in early access iirc

[heavy coral]

yeah but then it's a problem if you are having people pay money for a very unfinished game

[ruby root]

Will there be a scedule when playtesting?

[heavy coral]

I think they are gonna give more info on how it will work next week

something about an interview or blog post

[ruby root]

Sounds good

[native monolith]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1166496590672953428/1360332090737950900/image.png?ex=67fabb7c&is=67f969fc&hm=1c97f34f213a766a9b88d2b590260314ac19af488a8fc205bf9e482cc558a872&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1923&height=1362
i doubt anyone can read that terminal on the left side, right?

[tall plume]

reads "run selection" to me

[inner granite]

Run/character/loadout selection (left -> right)

Most right one i can not

[native monolith]

Er right side sorry

[tall plume]

ah yeah
well I can't read this indeed

[native monolith]

I see “bbt” in there so I think this might be like a dev thing

Some sort of string

[inner granite]

Hmm
If we would get font files, we could try and brute force it...

Try diffrend letters, see how similar it looks

[native monolith]

I am interested what the difference in the loadout and character selection is now

[inner granite]

On this angle and res

[native monolith]

Character is obviously class

[inner granite]

Guns vs class?

[native monolith]

But what’s in loadout then?

[inner granite]

Starting guns?

[native monolith]

Guns are just found in the caves though

[inner granite]

Or those from april fools video?

[native monolith]

I don’t think starting guns exist

[inner granite]

Special ones?

[native monolith]

That’s the class abilities

[inner granite]

Om

...

[lethal warren]

starting perks, grenades, armor passives etc

[native monolith]

I’m guessing it could be the “perk loadouts” they mentioned

[lethal warren]

Weapon customization also

[native monolith]

Related to the bio boosters

[native monolith]

Probably that too, if cosmetics are in yet

All (old) weapons seem to be in the same paint job and framework rn though

Megacorp + rustic sea(?)

[lethal warren]

there certainly will be dlc and unlockable skins in the future

[olive hound]

Is the game confirmed to have "meta-progression" system? and if so, what are some of the upgrades we can upgrade/spec into?

[ruby root]

I heard theres going to be small upgrades that you have permanently

take it with a bolder of salt

[urban zodiac]

do we know how many/how theyre choosing alpha testers?

or when theyre gonna start accepting people

[tall plume]

within 1 or 2 months, and assuming you signed up

[urban zodiac]

signed up instantly

im a fiend...

[severe nymph]

Same

Praying that I get In

This is like the lottery if it was cool and awesome

[urban zodiac]

so the lottery

[severe nymph]

Nah this js more important

[steel swan]

so every person that signs up lowers the chance of you being an alpha tester?

[urban zodiac]

im ASSUMING theyre splitting it three ways

people with 500+ hours

people with 10-100~ hours

and people who havent played drg at all

[severe nymph]

I have 600 hours not to brag 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎

[urban zodiac]

958.7

i need it....

[severe nymph]

Sobbing

[ruby root]

How would 230 hours fair in this graph

[steel swan]

well I have 471 hours at the moment so if that is true i'd better get that number up

[urban zodiac]

500 is probably hyperbole

its more likely anyone with a big number of hours

so like, 200+

[ruby root]

yippie 🙂

man i hate these auto emojis

[urban zodiac]

again this is my guess

i have no idea if this is true or not...

[steel swan]

and there's also people who might have a high amount of hours in survivor but haven't played drg, so they might split it more than 3 ways

[urban zodiac]

i was off its 984.3

[ruby root]

dang it i got 182 hours

[urban zodiac]

true forgot about survivor

[ruby root]

ig more ensentive to play drg

is survivor worth the buy?

[urban zodiac]

i wonder if the closed beta will be free to play

obv not free when it comes into early access

but like will you have to pay if they accept you into t he closed beta

[desert sinew]

I got it and for some reason i didn't like it that much, vampire survivors is better if you ask me

[ruby root]

fr fr

[steel swan]

I also wonder if we can keep playing the alpha after its over
since we are installing the files onto our computer probably

[ruby root]

yeah if i have to pay for closed beta im not doing it

they should be paying US

[urban zodiac]

im assuming not

they are paying us

by letting us test this game

early

silly

[ruby root]

spitting facts

[heavy coral]

from how one of the devs phrased it yesterday in this chat it seems like it will be random selection split by region

[urban zodiac]

ohhh i schmee

[steel swan]

oh so being in a smaller region might have higher odds

[urban zodiac]

ig theyll get a whole variety of characters when it comes into full public early access anyways

[ruby root]

nordvpn its time to get active

[steel swan]

switches to antartica

[ruby root]

big brain moment

[heavy coral]

maybe, there will probably also be less slots for less populated regions

[desert sinew]

That's a little too much.... DRG is the only game i know that gives you everything for free (except paid cosmetics) and no one really forces you to press the "request alpha access" button on steam....

[heavy coral]

#rogue-core-chat message

[ruby root]

Yeah im jokeing ofc ghost ship games is one of the least greedy devs

[heavy coral]

from this message it sounds like they can let in a certain number of people from specific regions

[ruby root]

surely they wont affect my exams righttttt

[desert sinew]

Well im pretty sure i'm screwed cause im from argentina, i doubt LATAM players are goin to be the priority on the access list XD

I'l cross my fingers tough

[severe nymph]

Yes they are gsg actually hate making games and they only do it for the money

[heavy coral]

well it might raise or lower your chances depending on the ratio between amount of people from your region they let in and how many people are signed up in your region

so there's probably no way to know

[ruby root]

Im in the great us of a so im fine

rightttttt

[steel swan]

and how popular drg is in that region in general

[heavy coral]

there's probably thousands of people signed up in the US probably not good odds unfortunately lol

[ruby root]

well its alr even if i dont get selected i got school to focus on

[desert sinew]

Technically no.... cause there's gonna be too many ppl requesting access, wich makes your chances lower X_X

[tame rock]

holy moly i just watched the trailer

peak

absolute cinema

[median sleet]

I assume more populated regions get more playtesters

[old breach]

do we know how the alpha tester selection might work?

will higher DRG hours make someone more likely to get access than someone with lower?

[heavy coral]

^

[old breach]

gachya thanks

[next crater]

https://tenor.com/view/ffvii-ff7-final-fantasy-raid-raid-shadow-legends-gif-26950605

[neon robin]

Where can I sign up for closed beta

[median sleet]

the steam page

[misty vortex]

I really hope that the song used in the Trailer is actually a song from the game and is indicative to how the OST of Rogue Core will be like, because holy hell whatever song was used in the trailer is an absolute f***ing banger and I'd die to listen to a 'full' version of it if there's one
(been playing the trailer on loop for the past hour or so just solely because of the music, it's just too good)

[native monolith]

Seems so which is a little sad

But with such a large audience I think it’s the best they can do

[tall plume]

on the other hand it's a good way to see how it handles with complete random too

[native monolith]

With friends, you’re basically guaranteed to have everyone get what they want so it’s a good test

Knowing mine though they’ll take the upgrade I want just because they can

[sonic river]

I spotted an Inheritance Trilogy fan in the wild!

Looking at you @native monolith

[native monolith]

Hello there :3

In my 4ish years of being on discord I think this is the first time I have had someone mention that

[sonic river]

If you like Inheritance trilogy you should really read "The bound and the Broken" series by Ryan Cahill, it's like the adult version of the inheritance cycle. I quite enjoy it

Start with "the Fall" then read the first novel

[native monolith]

I’ll check it out

[sonic river]

It's super good! Pain is the path to strength.

[cunning crown]

mine too - but that's part of the run!

[native monolith]

randoms with DRG is still very good but you have to jack of all trades your build, usually

[cunning crown]

but i dont play with randoms

might have to if I get into playtest and my friends dont!

woot!

[native monolith]

I’m a gambling man, all 4 of us will get in 100%

[desert sinew]

I'm 100% sure im not gonna get into the testing XD

[fluid jacinth]

Im 100% sure I will either get in or not

[acoustic scarab]

[left tinsel]

did the cour go rouge

[vagrant jay]

yeah

[humble lion]

Do we know when invites will start to go out?

[tall plume]

within 1 or 2 months

[wooden ivy]

Hello, was the trailer's music released?

[chrome sundial]

THATS WHY YOUR NAME IS FAMILIAR

[soft nexus]

My body requires rogue core to live

[hidden hornet]

Will rouge core have rouge coloured armor paintjobs?

[chrome sundial]

I think all the paintjobs are going to be different shades of rouge

Its not bleu core after all

[broken flame]

The dwarf with the bird had a realllly soft face. Is anyone else thinking what im thinking? Or am I just bein crazy

[cunning crown]

Imma go with crazy yeah

[hidden hornet]

All the reclaimers have the same face so just a perspective thing

The angles you see their faces do change how they look

[olive hound]

Maybe they have a barber drone in the Ramrod

If u are a prestige reclaimer you need prestige hair care

[broken flame]

Okay :c

[olive hound]

A barber drone, maybe a training drone?

Like the one in the gauntlet ad

[worldly sundial]

Rogue Core has a really neat horror vibe.

[native monolith]

There’s new face shapes

Lemme find what anders said one sec

.

These current ones aren’t permanent but I’d bet they’ll have different faces in the end regardless

[olive hound]

So if there are workers on the facilities... that means we will fight some kind of mutant dwarf crawler thing?

[broken flame]

ok

[native monolith]

I would imagine they are very dead

[olive hound]

The crawlers are aliens, maybe they can use the biomass for something 🤔

[native monolith]

They repurpose DRG machinery into bio processors

Now that would be dark

[gray warren]

Hm... Part of me wonders if the hairy, ape-like crawlers (with the pink faces) in the new Teaser are actually dwarves transformed into Crawlers via biomancy stuff.

[olive hound]

Yeah

[vague orchid]

no your not the only one

it must be a woman dwarf

@vagrant scaffold you can kinda see the hair curving around the head tho, why would the hair grow out of the side of the neck?

[oak locust]

I really want the slicers ablility to be more than just the giant slash that we saw in the stream, I feel it would be cooler if you could get a couple attacks/30 seconds with it, and the big slash could be a power attack sorta thing maybe

[vagrant scaffold]

The edges of the hair on the Falconeer follow the jaw line, and the hair doesn't spread behind the ear lines; this is consistent with the shape of a beard. I don't rule out the possibility that Rogue Core might have female dwarves (I would like to see it); but that hair right there is facial hair, it's not a feminine hairstyle. If it was scalp hair in a feminine style, it would rest over the shoulders much further back instead of weirdly adhering to the jaw line.

As for the rest of the facial features on that Reclaimer: they've got thin lips and a slimmer face. I would like to point your attention toward one thing: the Reclaimer in green has those same lips, they're the only visible part of his armor, and he's got a decidedly masculine beard. They are definitely using a different base dwarf model than the one on DRG. Whether those are alternate younger male dwarves or female dwarves remains to be seen.

The bodily proportions of the Reclaimer in red are also the exact same as the rest of the dwarves on the team. If that's a female dwarf, then it would be cool to see the female dwarf model feature tweaks like a wider waist and shorter shoulders. Of course, always keeping with the theme that DRG dwarves look middle-aged at the very least.

[carmine zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-paw-bad-luck-final-finger-gif-27051623

[vagrant scaffold]

Gonna take that as a "yes but actually no".

[vague orchid]

once again, what type of facial hair would grow out of the side of your face without looking silly? I respect ur opinion but like

[oak locust]

I mean

Female dwarves could have beards

[vague orchid]

the guardian obviously has a masculine beard

[vagrant scaffold]

A forked beard. Nowadays it's considered old fashioned and goofy looking, but DRG features plenty of silly looking beards anyways.

[vague orchid]

but the devs are trying to make our reclaimers look badass, not have hair grow out of the side of their jaw, get what i mean?

[vague orchid]

exactly, which is why we have lots of cosmetics

so we can customize however we want and make the funniest dwarf

[vagrant scaffold]

I agree and I also agree that Reclaimer could be a female dwarf with a beard. I'm just saying I don't think that facial hair there is a girly hairstyle lmao.

[vague orchid]

I will post a comparison in gallery so i can show you what i mean

to make sure we understand eachother

[vagrant scaffold]

Your argument is "That's a female dwarf, that's female hair."
Mine is "That's a beard. Sure it could be a female regardless."
Both arguments are not completely opposite.

[vague orchid]

it is posted

[native monolith]

It’s fantasy sci fi dwarves. Everyone can have goofy beards

[weary zenith]

Mustache and side beard combo styled to look like glyphid fangs so you can match the look of your steve

[young vessel]

theres no glyphids in rogue core

...does that mean..... we cant... have steeve....?

[native monolith]

Carl the corespawn

[young vessel]

hey since corespawn are made to like mimic dwarves we should have cosmetics that mimic corespawn

[viral merlin]

Caarl*

[hidden hornet]

Pretty sure corespawn don't mimic dwarves, they're just built like that...

[young vessel]

nuh uh dwarves are clones and corespawn are the ones that escaped trust real lore i pinkie promise

[hidden hornet]

Sounds exactly like what a corespawn would say

if they could talk

[young vessel]

😰

[junior flame]

Heartbreaking. At least I hope there would be some creature to pet like my beloved lootbugs

[storm comet]

is the Rogue Core dwarf team the same as DRG or it is a different team ?

[silver lagoon]

Different, although they can use drg weapons

[latent tartan]

it's a different team of elite units called ''reclaimers''

[silver lagoon]

Im sure we will have Fred the corespawn, or something

[daring hill]

found something interesting. Look at the supercut in the pins, at 2:34 minutes in. There's some sort of machine at the top of the cliff on the right. Another event?

There's text on it but even with my local copy of the cut I can't read it, and I downloaded the Q&A at full quality

[silver lagoon]

Might be one of the new main or additional events

[daring hill]

it does quickly go from 0% to 3% and then back to 0%

it could be some event where you must be near it to get it done, but its also huge

definitely the sive of the drop pod if not larger

On the left there is also what appears to be the exit for each stage, which I don't believe we have seen yet

is what it looks like it says to me

[daring hill]

that sounds like it, but im curious as to why it changes

honestly, my gut is telling me the spiders are coming out of that thing

[old swift]

that's what it looked like yea

actually not sure it went 0 -> 3 -> 0%, i think the first number is 8

[daring hill]

I don't think so, I have the 1080p footage on hand and viewing it frame by frame, I don't see an 8

[old swift]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/891535386977919020/1360496154982486027/image.png?ex=67fb5448&is=67fa02c8&hm=55fadc6afd4197e8a23a36649376c7284347d02ff806a035bb29398a5e79080b&

can't make out the full number either way but it looks more poorly fitted in the screen than the 0

[inner granite]

What are we trying to decode?

[old swift]

poor youtube bitrate

[old swift]

this

[old swift]

for what it's worth the video from 3:24 to 3:41 in the supercut is also taken in the room with this

[glossy heath]

Did anyone sacrifice Helldivers/Space Marines for Rogue Core? I immediately decided for myself what was most important, because the price is not small

[prisma robin]

have there been people who have received invites yet? or it's still too soon?

[median sleet]

too soon

[prisma robin]

rgr, thx

[median sleet]

in about a month invites will go out

[prisma robin]

oh ok

no need to frantically check my mail every half hour then. gotcha! 🙂

[daring hill]

I wonder how frequent the tests will be

My guess is 2 each month

Gives roughly a week between each

[fluid jacinth]

why sacrifice when you can just play all of them on and off

[glossy heath]

price

[dense condor]

Thank you ser pounce

[robust marlin]

I see that the mods have access to the game.. are you perchance needing a new mod?
-# /j

[heavy coral]

that was quick

was expecting it next week

[median sleet]

Lol the comments mad about people with a lot of hours in DRG not getting priority

[native monolith]

Hooray! One month is honestly quite rapid, I’m definitely excited

Until then, back to the other 4 dudes blow stuff up coop games

[median sleet]

This can be so many different games

[native monolith]

Leaflovers

What they said is the perfect response, it’s equally important to get people of all experience levels in

[median sleet]

And it's also very important to get me in

[heavy coral]

yeah I think that I should personally have priority over everyone else cause I'm cool that's my argument

[native monolith]

Yeah, I actually have a Schroeders playtime of 0 hours, 50 hours, and 1500 hours on drg, so if I get in it’s a 3 for 1 special

Very important

[median sleet]

🪤 <- Rogue core playtest in this box

[native monolith]

📦 ”I CANT FEEL MY BEARD! HELPPPPP!!!!!”

[median sleet]

Now my odds are higher

[robust marlin]

Damn that's some big brain strat right there

[weary zenith]

Also on that note are the reclaimers part of DRG or a separate company? I assume they are DRG because of the game's title but who knows maybe they are a third party to the mining mushroom & compressed gold chunk production company

[native monolith]

the reclaimers are apart of the DRG corp

but its a different branch from the mining division

[weary zenith]

Interesting

[native monolith]

the mining division seems to be their general labor force that probably has like ~5000 employees across multiple planets, the reclaimers seems to be a much smaller force that DRG calls in when things are dire

[weary zenith]

given how we're continously heading towards more horror elements theres a good chance the next DRG game will be set in the most harrowing of workplaces:

human dwarf resources

[weary zenith]

noice, always love to see more lore around the game's setting

[native monolith]

so far we know of Management (spooky), Mission Control(s), R&D, Mining teams, and now the Reclaimers

[vagrant scaffold]

My friend got into the playtest and I didn’t. Did you guys do this on purpose to torment me?
Yes.

[native monolith]

many job opportunities at Deep Rock Galactic

[olive narwhal]

I feel like not inviting friends by extension makes it easier to test the pub focused stuff

Like marking certain upgrades and such

[native monolith]

with friends that aspect is a lot less impactful or attention needing

because of vcs

[vagrant scaffold]

Yes. You can't test pubs with people who will only play with players they already like.

[native monolith]

with publics you sort of need to pay attention to your teammates builds on your own

and make sure they get what they need

[vagrant scaffold]

I imagine part of the testing is also seeing whether teamwork with randoms flows naturally.

[native monolith]

which, is interesting because idk if ive played a roguelike where thatll be such a big deal

closest is ror2 but thats literally just pinging like a tri tip dagger for the commando

[olive narwhal]

The upgrades i have seen so far don't seems like this is the best upgrade just because green

[weary zenith]

R&D itself seems to have a bunch of separate teams/branches too, plus there's also the folks who consistently give us holiday mission bonuses deliver stuff to the rigs too

[native monolith]

oh yeah transportation

they might outsource that though

[weary zenith]

true that

[native monolith]

considering how incompetent they are

[olive narwhal]

Ror2 mp definitely feels more like multiplayer than coop in my limted experience

[weary zenith]

a transportation team game would be like space QWOP

[loud ivy]

Have you guys already got access to Rogue Core?

[olive narwhal]

No

[native monolith]

yeah its def not REQUIRED to help everyone make their build, its just a small little bonus

[olive narwhal]

Opens in like a month

[native monolith]

i would now like to suggest the 4th installment in the DRG franchise:

Space trucker simulator: you play as one of the delivery drivers and face unimageable space horrors that show why he keeps losing packages

[olive narwhal]

Im interested to see what rogue cores build flow is like

[weary zenith]

balance between driving and having to jump out of the wheel to shoot whatever space asshole decided to try and raid your cargo

[native monolith]

JERRY GRAB THE SHOTGUN, THE SPACE RATS ARE BACK

[vagrant scaffold]

There's already a space trucker simulator on Steam, I recommend it! Star Trucker is the name.

[weary zenith]

and then theres the one time someone gets a fat boy grenade launcher

[alpine cipher]

Just gonna put this out here but im PRAYING that devs give rogue core DLC cosmetic carryover from drg so we dont have to repurchase DLC and we can use some of our favorites. Plus its 4 outfits for 1 character for rogue core.

[native monolith]

Oh lol, this is literally what I was envisioning for this

But with guns

[weary zenith]

lmao yeah, very close to that but with the not so occasional trip to the truck's cargo bay to fight some horrors (or your own cargo depending on what management asks)

[vagrant scaffold]

Damn. Those comments are a good way to get their names off from the invitations list.

[native monolith]

Playtests are all about getting widespread feedback on things and seeing where areas of tension are

[vagrant scaffold]

I don't remember if the game lets you place a company name, but back when I played it I liked to think of myself as a Longbeard Freights employee.

[native monolith]

If it’s one group it’s not a great playtest

[weary zenith]

i still hold my theory that the christmas gnomes attacked the driver on that one event

[tall plume]

they won't

[weary zenith]

rouge core has like different outfits altogether so i assume there wont be carryover

BUT they might do like costume packs that are for both games in some way

bit early to think of dlc/extra content material i think though

[vagrant scaffold]

One of the developer comments on that Steam post says:

Yes, we're focusing on COOP first, but there is a single player component too where you'll get a cool Drone to help you, just like DRG.

[native monolith]

Bosco taped to elis

[median sleet]

quick, come up with funny robot names

[vagrant scaffold]

Bosco my man. Never giving up on us.

[olive narwhal]

Upgraded bosco

Bigsco

[vagrant scaffold]

BOSSco. 😎

[thin apex]

I wonder how's that going to work though

Do we find a drone inside the facility? We can't bring techy stuff with us inside as anything that goes through the grayout barrier gets disrupted and the only source of power seems to be Expenite

[median sleet]

Check the trailer, I think the barrier they open up at the start is the greyout barrier

So they can bring tech with them

[thin apex]

I mean we still aren't able to take weapons inside

[olive hound]

I think new players that have never heard of DRG are better playtesters honestly.

[thin apex]

I mean

Anything works

They need feedback

[olive hound]

Reclaimers could kill anything with their bare hands

Weapon are just a commodity

[median sleet]

In that case maybe you find the 'bosco drone' in the same room you find your first weapon

[thin apex]

Feedback from both newbies and veterans is always accepted

I feel like veterans would give more balancing feedback than anything, regarding weapons, enemies and such

Newbies being more curious could easily give more feedback on being more clear with the objectives

We don't know if there's a tutorial or something I guess, because if there's not, we're getting thrown at the wolves immediately and new players won't really know what to do (like me when I started playing risk of rain 2 I didn't know what a teleporter was)

[olive hound]

Tutorial?

If u are testing a game you are going for the "core" (no pun intended) experience and loop of the game

Tutorials come later, when you have a strong foundation to work with

Even the DRG tutorial is pretty simple, better to explore yourself what the game has

[gray summit]

how long does it generally take for someone to get accepted into the playtest of rogue core

[median sleet]

they aren't accepting people yet

[daring hill]

Hasn't started yet, it'll be in about a month

[gray summit]

ah kk

[daring hill]

From what we know, they pick a region and randomly pick some amount of people from that region to get access

[gray summit]

aww

[median sleet]

I don't think they're gonna go one region at a time

[daring hill]

I do hope the whole region stuff from earlier was just like "here's how steam works"

And not how they will handle it

[median sleet]

That's how I interpreted it

[daring hill]

Like, they just pick every region

[median sleet]

I assume they'll take into account the amount of people that applied in each region and adjust the amount of invites for that region based on that. Other than that they'll probably add people from every region on the same day

[native monolith]

Time to move to the Vatican

[inner granite]

How big are regions? Like EU/Asia/America ect? Or it's per country?

[median sleet]

Only devs know.
Honestly I wouldn't get this caught up in the region thing. It was an example Jacob gave to show how little control Steam gives them over who gets in the playtest. He didn't say playtest invites get restricted to one region at a time. They'll probably invite people from all over the world at the same time.

[slender elm]

Can’t wait for RogueCore to go open at least. What news I’ve saw so far gonna be fun.

[astral dome]

when will closed alpha testing start? do we know or is it still being planned

[median sleet]

in about a month

[astral dome]

oh nvm i just saw pins

k cool

🙏 praying i get in

[young vessel]

i think this is the 1st instance of someone reading the pinned messages without being told in this server

[daring hill]

I still really hope that with closed alpha they start streaming footage, and/or allowing others to stream/share videos

Rogue core feels significantly more "ready" for that than DRG when it was in closed alpha

[steel summit]

I never get lucky enough to get into closed alphas or betas, but my god am I hoping I get this one.

[inner granite]

Every time someone asks, devs add +1 week to the timer

[inner granite]

Well, they have whole framework ready (borrowed from DRG), experience, and bigger dev team

The hardest part in coding is starting, when you have nothing
Then it's easier, as you create functions and references in code

[native monolith]

Rogue core in 3 years at this rate

[inner granite]

Better get waiting then

[clever apex]

Do yall think there will be rival company tech in Roguecore? It would be really cool to see what tech was made to counter the DRG company

[inner granite]

Even bots fear horrors beyond our comperhension...

[manic sleet]

will there be mod support?

[nova quiver]

Probably, but I think it would be added post release

[nova quiver]

There might be, but if there is it certainly won't be as profound as in season 1 and 2

[fluid jacinth]

Maybe reverse engineered rival tech

[pearl axle]

I think a variety is best. New players wont have core mechanics down yet so the first bits of their experience will be wasted while veteran players might find obscure things faster.

[cyan stump]

I fucking highly highly highly doubt it. But does anyone know if the song shown in the rogue core trailer was posted anywhere?

[native monolith]

Nope

I would hope that means it’s a part of the ost

And not a song specific to the trailer

[fickle abyss]

give me my alpha email now, i wont tell anyone 🥺

[cyan stump]

Thank you Dr. Based

[cedar crown]

I bet this has been asked a billion time, so I'll just be another tally. Has there been any information on how much rogue core will cost?

[chrome sundial]

Probably similar to drg early access

Whatever drg is rn but s little less

[copper burrow]

I'm pretty sure that's allowed

The hype for rogue core is huge so expect a lot of content of the closed alpha

[plush flame]

Hope rogue core is unique enough to feel like a different experience than drg

Or else giving another 30-40 bucks for a dlc seems odd…I still def would ofc

[native monolith]

rogue core is not a dlc

[gaunt bronze]

I think people really should take a little bit of time to learn more about Rogue Core and stop the “this should’ve been an expansion to the base game” complaints

[native monolith]

it is a full new game with, currently in the alpha:
-roguelike elements
-full new cast of enemies
-9 new weapons
-4 classes, with more coming
-3ish optional events with i would assume def more we havent seen
-new biomes/machinery elements

and this is off the top of my head

[native monolith]

literally the first thing on like half of the old dev talks was "we cannot make this as an expansion"

it is not possible with the current code

[tight hamlet]

I just hope we dont have to share EVERYTHING with strangers when the upgrades/weapon menus show up. I can't see myself enjoying not being able to choose a specific weapon because someone else wants it. I also dont see myself actively giving someone else a weapon that good in hopes of them doing better than me as thats a big risk.

Anyone know if they've gone more in depth with it? If we'll be able to call dibs on favorite weapons or something? Seems super iffy if you arent playing with a group you know

[native monolith]

For basically every upgrade/choice we have seen (besides bio boosters) the entire team chooses

They are promoting cooperation that way

[tight hamlet]

devils advocate, I like shotgun, ALOT, I want shotgun. Some other guy also wants shotgun, my game is now not as fun because I really like how the shotgun sounds and feel.

There will be weapons that players like to use and weapons that players hate to use.

My issue is if I can't consistently play the way I want to then I feel like it'll just cause people to play solo, if thats an option

in DRG for example if I was playing engineer and they took away the ability to use the auto lock smart rifle or the shard drefractor, I wouldn't play engi at all

[gaunt bronze]

Sounds like DRG would be the right game for you then

[tight hamlet]

great input karl, anyway

[errant kiln]

i wonder if all the dwarves are gonna have differnt voice and if each class is its own dwarf

[native monolith]

I’m almost certain they are all still Javier

[errant kiln]

all difernt pitches it what i meant

[native monolith]

I would think so

[pearl axle]

I was reading an article, and it said that the 4 new classes are "Spotter, Slicer, Guardian, and Falconeer" It had some false information so I was wondering if those are actually the 4 classes or not

[native monolith]

They are

The current 4

[pearl axle]

ok thanks

[sand vale]

My prediction: guardian is going to be the generally least enjoyed class because he isnt as flashy as the others and is going to be my favorite

I feel like the falconeer and slicer could be mega garbage and people would still defend them to the death because of funny sword or bird

[native monolith]

They have like a force blast

I think they’re gonna be pretty cool

[broken flame]

Probably not

[pearl axle]

I think each class will be equally loved like dRG

[native monolith]

Falconeer was also apparently extremely overpowered

Though they’ve been nerfed I think

[sand vale]

I did see that discussion

[twilit token]

tater's so mean, going online just to show off his rogue core access

[sand vale]

Im sure everything will balance out over time but at the beginning I think a lot of people are going to gravitate towards the flashy ones lmao

[pearl axle]

I am just excited for the movement abilities

that each class offers

[olive narwhal]

Well i expect slicer will see alot because people want melee

[errant kiln]

i wanna use the spotter cause i reminds me of the iron man 1 scene when tony fires a lil rocket at a tank

[pearl axle]

spotter = scout
falconeer = engineer
slicer = driller
guardian = gunner

[north steeple]

day three of waiting for rouge core alpha to drop into my email inbox

[carmine zenith]

alpha's not open yet

[north steeple]

I know, I promise im trying to be patient

[native monolith]

What if a dev walks by my inbox and a key falls out of their pocket though?

It’s low but the possibility is never 0

[north steeple]

a non-zero key drop chance

[native monolith]

I also have unfortunately been unable to glean anything from the mods/devs playing… the only two sub descriptions are “ramrod” and “in mission”

[young vessel]

pinged tater, banned from playtesting

[north steeple]

A fate worse than a sober funeral

[keen shuttle]

Yo uh, so Rogue Core literally takes place MUCH DEEPER into Hoxxess right? That's where the Core Spawn resides?

[native monolith]

Yeah

[keen shuttle]

Even deeper than the Deep DIves we've been doing for the company?

Damn

[native monolith]

It’s deep enough that there’s an entirely new ecosystem

Wait was there a depth counter in the trailer?

[north steeple]

good question

[keen shuttle]

even deeper than Magma Core? sheesshhhh

[young vessel]

The Magma Core... has gone Rogue.

[native monolith]

Yes, yes it did

[keen shuttle]

[native monolith]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1166496590672953428/1360824338579849357/IMG_2616.png?ex=67fc85ed&is=67fb346d&hm=74ef71305a91db3d52947a7038403632f1f30a7b8960a259871c4c25fd3001bf&

8186 meters

[north steeple]

deep enough that they replaced the drop pod drill with giant lasers

[magic pumice]

Hello dwarves. Unless I missed it, there doesn't seem to be a DRG survivor discussion thread? I wanted to ask if it's been officially announced if survivor 1.0 is releasing on more than just steam, or plans in the future

[native monolith]

I feel like that’s the same as the temp one

Because 8000 meters doesn’t even go past earths crust I think, and hoxxes seems decently close to our planets size

[young vessel]

different server cuz different devs

[magic pumice]

Ah

[north steeple]

wait, thats actually not that deep though. we sure theres not a 1 infront of that?

or a 3?

5 miles feels like nothing IMO

[native monolith]

There could be something in front of that 3/8

Even if it’s 18,861 meters that’s still not past the crust

[north steeple]

yeah

[native monolith]

Now if it was kilometers that’s pretty deep

[keen shuttle]

needs more digits

🔥

[native monolith]

Digits or another order of magnitude

Actually what is magma cores depth because there’s a chance this is just still the temp they used back in the earlier trailer

[keen shuttle]

11k to 12k

[north steeple]

I feel like if it was suppoed to be in Km then we would probably be closer to the 100-200 range

[keen shuttle]

Brain hurt

[native monolith]

It depends, hoxxes is a weird planet

Like logic is already kinda gone considering it should be smoldering down there, and then there’s the whole thing with the planet maybe being alive

Idk I think they could 100% do a crazy big number for the aesthetic

[keen shuttle]

Hoxxess is constantly terraforming from the amount of Glyphid Movement, Dwarves Mining Equipment, and Rival Tech

oh and Magma Core screaming

[keen shuttle]

Show the effect that the Mining Pod starts heating up and the dwarves inside sweating before burning alive

before they go outside

[native monolith]

“The core” could just refer to the lowest habitable point before it all becomes magma soup, maybe

But even then magma core is lower than it

So I’m just gonna say this a temporary number

[keen shuttle]

Benefit of the Doubt-type shit

[north steeple]

im sure those non-critical-to-gameplay details will be ironed out before release

[native monolith]

If not I will break into GSG headquarters and add a k before the m

[pearl axle]

are the missions going to be similar length to DRG? With the roguelike aspect, I almost feel like longer missions is essential

[rancid ivy]

Love the fact that Rogue Core expands on the core spawn concept from Season 5, those details and consistency are what immerses me into DRG's silly world and makes Hoxxes so cool. Really excited for more trailers and ofc to play it.

[north steeple]

time to rock and stone while waiting for rouge core because I dont play DRG enough

[chrome sundial]

Are there any details on how you choose your movement option? Is it the same as weapons? I didn't think it was tied to classes

[pearl axle]

Something has to be tied to classes. If weapons arent then I assume movement abilities are

[inner granite]

Acually, corespawns from S5 were added beacuse of RC, not the other way around

Whole S5 is something like an ad for RC

[little hound]

anyone else insanely hyped for a melee class?

[void ridge]

does anyone know when the next wave of rouge core early access people will be?

[daring hill]

that's slicer

[daring hill]

no wave has happened yet. it'll be within a month from the announcement

note that this doesn't mean a full month, it could very well start before april is over

and there will be more info on... I want to say the 17th?

at least within the next few days

[void ridge]

thanks a bunch, i thought people had already gotten in but never mind

[daring hill]

One thing we know is that the amount of people who have access with grow with every week-long test that happens

rather than an entirely new group of people selected each time

[inner granite]

#rogue-core-chat message

[inner granite]

only mods, devs and staff

[daring hill]

devs have access to rogue core early???

wild

[inner granite]

i know, crazy

[carmine zenith]

Rogue and Core!

[olive narwhal]

Core and Rogue!

[inner granite]

oh wait

[chrome sundial]

The gauntlet is the only class defining feature as far as I'm aware, as well as maybe the upgrades you can get but I think that's a wip

[plush flame]

you didnt even read what I said why u like this

silly

[median sleet]

Just noticed the first facility in the trailer has a 'days without accidents' sign

[dawn cosmos]

Any pricing estimates on the game?

[finite laurel]

No, but it’s probably going to be similar to the base game

It’s not AAA 60-80$

[fringe narwhal]

I assume it'll be around 40 to 50 bucks at launch.

[lean moon]

i mena nomatter what it will bought XD

[finite laurel]

DRG is 30, so 30-40 sounds about right

[nimble dove]

so is this a brand new game separate from the original?

[olive narwhal]

Yes

[hollow bear]

Brand spankin new

[old matrix]

rogue core is gonna be so peak im calling it now

[nimble dove]

I'm intrigued, loved the og but got burnt out a little from playing it alot haha

[bold hawk]

Well there will be a discount for those who own DRG

[tall plume]

don't believe so

[inner granite]

i dont think that steam even allows for that

[median sleet]

there will be IIRC

[raven wharf]

It does, but it isn’t a commonly used feature

[median sleet]

says so on the steam page

[mossy ruin]

bundles exist

[median sleet]

What will the price be? Will it be cheaper if I own Deep Rock Galactic?

The price is undecided. We will likely create a bundle, so all Deep Rock Galactic owners will get a discount.

it'll probably be like a 10% discount if you buy both RC and DRG. But people who already own DRG will still get their discount on RC

[fluid jacinth]

Also the game will be lower price while in early access

[pale blaze]

Iirc the roadmap said $15 early access

Just checked and apparently I made that up

[median sleet]

$15 is an estimate based on DRGs price in early access

But I assume it's gonna be higher than DRG

[bold hawk]

They make rouge core and DRG a bundle witch means you get a discount on the game you have left to buy aka rouge core

[flint furnace]

Will rogue core be released on console after early access?

Like when it's finished

[glossy heath]

I would like to buy now and guarantee myself an invitation to the test

[raven wharf]

That’s what early access is for.

[daring hill]

What if I give GSG 500 gallons of beer

[clever sierra]

well then they would be drunk

[blissful spade]

when are they letting the first people in for closed alpha test

[hollow bear]

Several weeks from now

[blissful spade]

ok thanks

[warm badge]

When does Alpha testing start?

[daring hill]

At max it should be may 11th, a month after the announcement

Anyway, man why does anyone ever bother writing blog posts or FAQs, or providing a consistent source of information

No-one cares to read them anymore!

Like even without closed alpha: people have been asking the same questions about rogue core that have been answered from the very start since it was first announced

Like I'm sorry but so many people have this huge aversion to like... finding information for themselves?

I want to say that at this point it might be worth setting up a bot that just spams "CHECK PINGS/STEAM PAGE" every 10 minutes, because at this point it is genuinely interrupting conversations

But you know no-one would listen

[timber lark]

I would have a pinned comment with all the details and a bot that tracks for keywords and replies with a link

[median sleet]

When does the playtest start?

[daring hill]

At least 500 years ago

Yeah sorry you just missed it

[median sleet]

Ah, just missed it then

that sucks

[daring hill]

It's like a comet

Only comes every 1000 years

[tall plume]

people are allergic to reading

(and to checking the pinned messages)

[daring hill]

Aye, still it might be worth investing in a bot at some point

I remember seeing one server that deleted all previous instances when a new reminder is posted

As to not clog up past messages

[compact shard]

I hope I get into the alpha testing, I love the concept so much

[median sleet]

I hope I don't get into the alpha testing, I hate the concept so much

^scientific experiment

[violet tendon]

why bother actually thinking about what you’re looking for and how to phrase your query when you can just ask a bunch of strangers and they’ll give you the info you want.

[reef loom]

someone hasnt asked when rogue core alpha happens for an hour so ig i will

when does rogue core alpha open?

[inner granite]

+1 week

[silver karma]

im just excited

the music in the most recent trailer is so sick

i hope i'll get into the closed alpha playtest, but if i don't that's also fine, since it won't be like 1+ years to wait for early access anymore

[olive hound]

this

[steel hearth]

I really want to see how the new elemental stuff works

[silver karma]

wait theres new elemental stuff????

[olive hound]

We get to see some youtubers post videos about it atleast

[silver karma]

heck yeah

[olive narwhal]

Yes

[steel hearth]

yeah, like more combinations than just temperature shock

[silver karma]

oooooo nice

[olive narwhal]

They did fully rework the system

[silver karma]

that's sick

[olive narwhal]

If you scroll up for a while you will probably find the messages where anders mentioned it

#rogue-core-chat message

Some messages around here

[crisp yarrow]

I wish I had playtest access ;-;

[vestal night]

First wave of playtest aalready gone?

[mossy ruin]

no

well, yes

[olive narwhal]

No one does right now outside of a small group mods community testers and such

[mossy ruin]

but these are not public

the public ones will start in like a month

[olive narwhal]

May see the first(public) wave in the coming weeks but like a month at the latest

If things go according to plan

[inner granite]

Does it counts for +1 week?

[raven wharf]

Not really public, still closed testing just on a random invite basis.

[bold hawk]

the public one is going to happen in less then a month acording to the pinged message

watch em only give 4 people access and force them to play together

[olive narwhal]

Is that not what the message said tho

[inner granite]

This would be cool to watch
4 random players, from diffrend parts of the world
First ever run of RC, their confusion, strugle...

[olive narwhal]

500 ping

[inner granite]

My record is 2k

[hard frigate]

Are people allowed to make videos on closed alpha content?? I would’ve assumed it’s all under NDA

[bold hawk]

it would be funny if the 1st people who got access can't play the game until the 2nd batch

[inner granite]

Well, alpha is closed only from name

It's technicaly normal gameplay, just with limited users

Plus we had streams for DRGS

[bold hawk]

weakling, 7k is my record... I should put my internet out of it's misery shouldn't I?

[inner granite]

Euthanise it

[bold hawk]

yeah

[inner granite]

ye, we gave you access to lobby, not to main game

[olive narwhal]

Can get plenty of content out of exploring the ramrod

[bold hawk]

We gave you the game... But no gameplay, have fun watching the title screen

[olive narwhal]

See what the differences between the difference toilet stalls are

[inner granite]

Better not give ideas to Ubisoft

Buy this 30$ DLC "The Start Button" to play our game to enchance your gameplay experience! Cost of base game is 90$ btw

[bold hawk]

The play button just boots up basic DRG

you can always do April fools jokes... even if it is not April 1st

[inner granite]

DRG launches RC, RC launches DRG

Ima, this would be fun

Also, a free demo to convince new players to buy second game

[bold hawk]

RC: Press any button to start DRG DRG: Press any button to start RC

[inner granite]

Both games have minimaly more expensive req than doom, so it wouldn't be too bad

[bold hawk]

watch the servers die becuse it was only ment to handle 4 players

[inner granite]

1: what servers? DRG is hosted on host's machine
2: technicaly, game can handle 5 players until shit goes bad (modless)

With mods i saw up to 16

[bold hawk]

yeah you'r right

But I will FORCE a 5th player

[inner granite]

You know that devs did good job, when game designed to not work in some edge case, works anyway

[bold hawk]

Can they do a prediction on how many bugs we will discover during the closed alpha

[inner granite]

7!

[young vessel]

there will be 2 bugs that are either unfixed / otherwise changed to be a feature

[bold hawk]

0 Flawless game 10/10 Karl would be proud
1-10 A bit of small errors but still good
10-50 We screwed up a lot but no worries
50+ I would rather drink Leaf Lover than play this

[raven wharf]

Right now the current testing is no media. They’ll likely allow it for the closed testing when it launches. Wait for an official statement.

[inner granite]

NMS is one big bug, but still can be enjoyed

50 bugs in alpha is nothing

[bold hawk]

I mean small visual errors/cliping in models do not count

and cliping OoB is posible in DRG so it also dose not count

my my, is it almost 8 o' clock? I believe it is sandwich time. Hoh

According to Denmark that is

[inner granite]

Tea Time

Beer Time!

[bold hawk]

ROCK AND STONE TIME

[inner granite]

Kidney stone time

[bold hawk]

don't run, it's just ham

[ionic bison]

Put in my play test request a little while ago😆🙏🏻 wish me luck I’m only a little bit late to the party lmao

[bold hawk]

you are not late nor early, no one has gotten access yet

[carmine zenith]

[inner granite]

Hi!
How's your day

[inner granite]

Nah, you miss it, all alphas are alredy given out
Source: trust me

[ionic bison]

[bold hawk]

the alpha is never late, nor is it early. It arives exacely when it has to

I just found some unused screenshots on GSG's own website, and found a picture of the new "lobby" (as to not spoil anything) and it looks really cool

question for the devs... Am I allowed to say the names of the Reclaimers or no as they are public for everyone to find

[inner granite]

Wait... There is a matrix core?

On publishing page

[bold hawk]

I found a whole one drive of screenshots, videos and info there so

[inner granite]

Hes name's Gorg

[bold hawk]

I have there class names on a document

[inner granite]

Could you throw me a link?

[bold hawk]

Here
https://ghostship.dk/publishing/

[inner granite]

Only found ||spotter|| for now

[inner granite]

Oh
I haven't reach that part then ig

[bold hawk]

So there is SPOILER... or is it? ||Falconeer || ||Falcon ||||Engineer ||||Tecneer ||for example

[mossy ruin]

we know the names of the classes since the first gameplay reveal stream

because they were shown in a debug menu

[bold hawk]

Ah

[inner granite]

Gorg, Boris, Stanisław

[bold hawk]

well

there real names are engineer, Gunner, Scout and Driller

[mossy ruin]

erm, no

[inner granite]

I'm gonna call Falcon Stanisław, and you can't stop me

[bold hawk]

ok I won't stop you

[mossy ruin]

it's spotter, guardian, slicer, falconeer, gorgon

and gorgon is shelved for now, awaiting a rework

[bold hawk]

welp

also acording to this form, you don't spawn with a weapon

or do you?

Also ||"The Grayout?"|| Good name

[errant kiln]

THATS A AWSOME NAME

capps sorry

[mossy ruin]

only with a pickaxe

[bold hawk]

incorrect

you spawn with there equivalent to there pickaxe... there ||Gauntlet's||

[mossy ruin]

well, true, I forgot about that

but you get a pickaxe too

[bold hawk]

yes

[mossy ruin]

but gauntlets will most likely have a cooldown
also I am not sure why are you spoilering stuff here

[bold hawk]

that is why I have made the spoilers hidden

and it is public domain as I do not have access to the game, and have not singed a contract (yet) to stay silent it is fine

they are probably going to force me to singe one though...

[mossy ruin]

no I mean, why are you hiding this stuff

this info is publically avalible

and if someone comes into this channel, they want to know more

[bold hawk]

well some do not want to be spoiled, and this cannel is to talk about rouge core, not get info about it

[mossy ruin]

mhmmmm
talk about the game which hasn't come out, but without mentioning stuff that was already revealed by devs

what do you talk about then?

that would be more like speculation

[bold hawk]

well you can talk about what you think would be in the game, want to see in the game or just hang out with the devs talking about their evil plan

[mossy ruin]

talk about their evil plan, which will inevitably mention things you think of as spoilers

[bold hawk]

well if the devs say something they can't blame me hehe

[mossy ruin]

1. you didn't sign anything
2. if you did sign something, putting a spoiler will not save you

[bold hawk]

I have 1 warning and I do not want to risk another

[mossy ruin]

well, this channel doesn't have any spoiler rules

[left tinsel]

bro i cant believe they added spiders

[bold hawk]

DEAR GOD

[mossy ruin]

actually, they removed spiders

[bold hawk]

NO

[mossy ruin]

it's true

[tall plume]

what warning ?

[mossy ruin]

you guys have a warning system

I know of that

[bold hawk]

warning on this discord server for "embracing bad behavior" (I said a comment on someone saying something not good to say)

[tall plume]

you have no recorded warning as far as I'm aware

[bold hawk]

not racist or anything, more nsfw things

[mossy ruin]

a message from elemental

[bold hawk]

well it was a light warning, anyways rogue core wooo

[carmine zenith]

warnings for everyone!

[tall plume]

you get a warning! And you get a warning!

And everyone get a warning!

[bold hawk]

we just get baned for being here at the wrong time

[mossy ruin]

but now I do wonder if the people in the alpha will have to sign an NDA

I doubt it?

[bold hawk]

It will probably be classified as "public" when it starts

as trying to contain the 200k + people just on discord is going to be too hard

[mossy ruin]

seasonal playtests didn't have any NDA, so

and I assume the format is going to be simmillar

[bold hawk]

the experimental tests also did not technically have an NDA but you know

[mossy ruin]

there will most likely be a separate channel

[tall plume]

no

Firstly, GSG don't do NDA

Second, it would be pretty pointless to try to make hundred or thousand of people try to sign NDAs, that would be terrible to do on any large scale

[mossy ruin]

oh huh
even community testers such as you never signed anything?

[bold hawk]

well is it going to be a trust system or?

[carmine zenith]

it's an honor system

[tall plume]

Nope
but we're here because they trust us

[mossy ruin]

I see

[carmine zenith]

which is part of why so few people get picked to be testers

[bold hawk]

fair

(for now)

[tall plume]

besides, it would make the devs at GSG pretty sad and we don't want that

they're cool people

it has worked out for them so far

[bold hawk]

well... they are from Denmark and witch means I am contractually* obligated from my country to make dumb jokes about there country every once in a while

but yeah they are great people from what i have seen

and they actually stay in contact with their community compared to other game devs

[inner granite]

GSG is only studio that can anserw "how does this work?" "On hopes and prayers"

[hollow bear]

Nah, Mike just posted that "it's shut the fuck up Friday!" video and said nothing else.

[inner granite]

And it would be in positive meaning

[carmine zenith]

taking the chance and believing in someone can pay off immensely

[bold hawk]

hey all of you who have played RC, how would you rate the experience so far?

[hollow bear]

Good/10

[bold hawk]

alr

[carmine zenith]

rogue out of core

[bold hawk]

sure

makes sence to me

[hollow bear]

Fun out of five

9 out of 10 dentists died writing a review

[bold hawk]

and what did the 10th one say?

[raven wharf]

I mean we can shut up about stuff until it’s public and keep testing or we can blab and have our privileges revoked. It’s easy to not leak stuff.

[carmine zenith]

the 10th dentist died trying to clip through the ramrod

[median sleet]

'Why are you making me play a videogame?'

[tall plume]

I rate it 9 dead dentists out of 10 !

[inner granite]

9/3,628,800 is shitty score

[wheat pewter]

I can confirm personally, it is not called "rogued core" in-game, it's actually "Rogue Core".... sad day

[bold hawk]

I don't think asking for overall reviews is "spoiling" anything significant so

[median sleet]

But the lootbugs are in right?

[inner granite]

Near the core, you don't hunt lootbugs

Lootbugs hunt you

[raven wharf]

It’s going to change a lot between now and the closed testing so user experience will be different.

[carmine zenith]

loot bugs have been replaced by The Cooler Lootbug™️

[bold hawk]

they are like the one at GSG headquarters

[median sleet]

Expenite lootbugs right? I think I saw a dev say something about that

[inner granite]

Ye

[bold hawk]

it is the same model just with sunglasses

[carmine zenith]

https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/023/194/cover1.jpg

[bold hawk]

true

Watch there be a lootbug familiar that eats the enemies armor

wait if RC is more of a horror esk DRG... are the leaches still in RC...? (please god no)

[raven wharf]

You’ll have to wait for the closed alpha

[bold hawk]

so what I got from that message is "yes they are still in the game but worse because we hate you"

[tall plume]

every enemy in RC is a leech 😎

you're not actually fighting corespawn crawlers, you're fighting leeches

and Hoxxes' core is just one giant leech

[bold hawk]

RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN

[tall plume]

too late, you got leeched

[bold hawk]

AAAAAAaaaaaaa

bastards got me

[loud brook]

Hey guys, does anyone know when the Rogue Core Alpha starts?

[tall plume]

[tall plume]

check the pinned messages

[bold hawk]

when the devs feal like it

and +1 week

[loud brook]

Thanks!

[pastel trail]

is alpha testers are getting game after its release?

[ivory bloom]

I doubt they will get free copy if that what u asking

[pastel trail]

HELL YEAH

[ivory bloom]

These special versions of game for testing are usually revoked after a period

[pastel trail]

🔥

[bold hawk]

There will be a discount tho if you own DRG

[pastel trail]

hell naw(

[pastel trail]

sounds good

maybe

whats the price of rogue core

?

[bold hawk]

To be announced

[pastel trail]

bruh
