rogue-core-chat

[pearl axle]

doubt it

[pastel trail]

i wish its not gotta be more than drg ones💀

[unreal laurel]

Honestly, even if rogue core is at the same price at some of these AAA games it would still be worth it

[pastel trail]

fr

70 dollars

is worth

?

[unreal laurel]

Gsg deserves the money

They couldnt

But they deserve it

[pearl axle]

my guess is 20-30

[unreal laurel]

Sum like that

Hope it's like 13 bucks under special circumstances tho

[pastel trail]

whats the price of main game

[unreal laurel]

I'm getting it either way

[pastel trail]

8?

[unreal laurel]

Around 30

I think

[carmine zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-wow-nine-hundred-dollarydoos-gif-12115214

[pearl axle]

main game is 30

[unreal laurel]

Bought it on discount

[pastel trail]

ouch

fr

[pearl axle]

I would highly doubt that it will cost more than DRG

[unreal laurel]

Got dlcs immediately lol

[pastel trail]

true

[unreal laurel]

I'm curious at how they'll implement the first DRG crew in the lore of rogue core

[bold hawk]

found this in a QnA
Q: What will the Rogue Core price point be? Will there be a bundle, or discount for existing Deep Rock Galactic?
A: Too early to say for sure here. But the intention is to put it at a similar price as comparable games, like Deep Rock Galactic.

[unreal laurel]

Maybe some messages

Gsg, respectable as always

I wonder what the next "mushroom" will be

[copper burrow]

They said they will most likely make a bundle on steam with rogue core and DRG. Steam bundles still give a discount even if you own all the games except one

[bold hawk]

yeah that is what i ment

[ivory bloom]

sometimes bundles are buggy and make you pay for games u already own so hopefully that don't happen

sighs I is the bored

[unreal laurel]

When does the closed beta start again

[pastel trail]

around month from now

[unreal laurel]

Ah

[bold hawk]

I just found the most important QnA

[unreal laurel]

Making us go through withdrawal lmao

[bold hawk]

Q: Will there be beer in the game?
A: Most likely. I mean, they’re dwarves.

YEEEEEEES

[pastel trail]

🔥

[unreal laurel]

Blackout stout gonna go even crazier with the reclaimers

[bold hawk]

watch em pass out from leaf lovers

[unreal laurel]

The shock of no alcohol is going to hit them harder than a lithophage meteorite

[bold hawk]

well acording to the QnA there will be boss fights... Yeah Leaf lovers is worse

[unreal laurel]

Bossfights

WOOOOOOOOOO

crackheads deluxe

[bold hawk]

well, I hope we as the community get to make the achevements

[ivory bloom]

watch some boss be a machine pumping beer out to get rid of it and you gotta stop it 👀

[unreal laurel]

It's just gonna be memes from the testing phase

Really looking forward to the terrain generation too

From the teaser and trailer it looks very unique

Like nothing we've seen in DRG before

[bold hawk]

if i got to make an achievement it would be "beat the game without using a single weapon on one of the harder difficulties"

[unreal laurel]

I'd do a melee only achievement

Cause that's gonna be so fun to do

[pearl axle]

Since it is based on diving into caves that have already been explored, they have the green light to make some non natural generations in the caves, such as old driller tunnels and stuff.

[unreal laurel]

Yeah

I'm curious how they'll implement the lost equipment in the generation

[bold hawk]

it would be funny if there were driller tunels that lead into C4's that just blow you up

[unreal laurel]

There's definitely going to be a driller vs scout reference

[pearl axle]

speaking of driller tunnels, since there will be no more driller class, bunkers will probably not happen? Maybe one of the classes will have the ability to carve out terrain

[unreal laurel]

Prob an ability

[bold hawk]

well, the classes are more fighting focused

[pearl axle]

Yeah, I assume they will each have unique mobility tools still though

[bold hawk]

Also the game is designed to not be beatable without upgrades... yeah ima do a no upgrades run asap

[unreal laurel]

I feel like there will be less of a focus on classes and more focus on the survivability in general

[pearl axle]

zero expenite haz 5+ fungus bogs solo run here it comes

[unreal laurel]

Like perk selection instead of a straight up weapon selection terminal

[unreal laurel]

No upgrade run

[bold hawk]

the only thing the classes get is there gauntlets with specific abilities

that is what you spawn with

[pearl axle]

Oh I see. Is gauntlet defined deeply yet or is it just a loose term still

[unreal laurel]

Fucking Thanos hand

[bold hawk]

slicer can cut through horrors like butter

[unreal laurel]

Wish that is in the game

[bold hawk]

it will be

[pearl axle]

spotter will likely be kind of a sniper focused class which will be interesting

[bold hawk]

it was seen in the trailer

[unreal laurel]

I wanna have an upgrade that lets you use it without a cooldown

[unreal laurel]

Was talking about this

[bold hawk]

yeah... the classes are scout* (duno gauntlet) Guardian (shield gauntlet) falconer (falcon gauntlet) slicer (halo sword)

[unreal laurel]

Dyno sounds like it's very dynamic

Feel like the Falcon is a sniper type

Cause uh

[bold hawk]

the scout* one can detect enemys

[unreal laurel]

Falcons have good eyes I guess

Ooo

Cool

[pearl axle]

I feel like spotter sounds more like it can detect enemies than a falcon

[bold hawk]

im guessing it works like the engineer swarmer drones just with the falcon

[unreal laurel]

So I take it there will be some invisible enemies

[pearl axle]

I think a falcon will be fast paced and mobility based

[bold hawk]

oh yeah right, spotter was the name

[unreal laurel]

Ah

K

I think the slicer is gonna be the most popular class

At first at least

Who doesn't like going melee in shooter games

[bold hawk]

watch em nerf the sword to deal 1 dmg becuse they felt like it

[tight cargo]

I wonder if the drone will be fully recon or a flying turret

[tight cargo]

And then make the firerate times 1000

[pearl axle]

honestly, they all interest me

I think spotter does the most for me

[bold hawk]

that would be a fun upgrade though, less damage on sword but always ready to use

[pearl axle]

I could see guardian having some melee properties

[unreal laurel]

I just want the freedom to fuck around and find out, which I will definitely get

[tight cargo]

Magic in marvel rivals be like

[unreal laurel]

Prob more knock back focused then

[pearl axle]

I imagine guardian is kind of like brig from ow

[unreal laurel]

Well, its a roguelike

[bold hawk]

or guarding focused

[unreal laurel]

They almost always have gimmick upgrades

[unreal laurel]

Like a block or parry?

[bold hawk]

new upgrade, gain 1000000 hp, but you instantly die

[bold hawk]

block

[unreal laurel]

Maybe a passive that's the thorns perk, but slightly better

Plus some kinda 2% lifesteal

Would go crazy against small enemies

[bold hawk]

there will be upgrades as you go that will be simular, Im sure of it

[unreal laurel]

I wanna play iiiiit

[pearl axle]

I am glad that they went with the approach of "its ok if you are completely op sometimes"

[bold hawk]

patience my friend

[unreal laurel]

I wanna see the upgrade combinations

Gsg are cooking up a three course meal

[pearl axle]

dont get too addicted lol the alpha tests are only 1 week long

[unreal laurel]

I'm just complaining for the sake of complaining

[bold hawk]

well it is the internet so

[unreal laurel]

Jokes on you, that's my specialty

[bold hawk]

they are one week, then a break and then back up for a week

[pearl axle]

yeah, I would guess about 3 times over the course of 6 months

[unreal laurel]

I hope they release a demo of the tests with limited upgrades in the meantime

[bold hawk]

the playtest will last until September

[unreal laurel]

Damn

[pearl axle]

Is it still expected to release early access Q4 2025?

[bold hawk]

according to the pinged message, ye

[weak moth]

the playtest hasnt started tho has it?

[unreal laurel]

Nope

Sadly

[bold hawk]

we are already addicted

[pearl axle]

No, just speaking in future tense

[unreal laurel]

Average DRG player

Gets addicted without even playing

[weak moth]

help i cant breathe without rogue core

[tight cargo]

They show me a cool sword and expect to not get hype?

[unreal laurel]

So true

[bold hawk]

this will be another roguelike in my collection... I only have 17...

[unreal laurel]

Well, in the meantime there will be DRG Survivor

And DRG itself

[bold hawk]

hopefully the game is hard... and i mean REALLY HARD

[unreal laurel]

Hazards will probably be there

Hope the difference between levels will be way higher tho

[tight cargo]

Hazard 10:fuck you

[pearl axle]

well its a roguelike so there is an idea of luck factor

[bold hawk]

I mean i need haz 7 to even feal anything

[bold hawk]

now we talking

[unreal laurel]

It's gonna be a deep dive, but every mission in the deep dive is hard

[tight cargo]

3 industrial sabot deep dive when

[unreal laurel]

I got my friends, dreadnoughts in disguise

[unreal laurel]

No primary modifier when

[tight cargo]

Sound fun

Would have to give more secondary ammo tho

To make up for it

[unreal laurel]

Double it and give it to the next person

[bold hawk]

I am a person who has completed so many hard games I sometimes "accidently" beat hard games on my 1st try

[pearl axle]

there should be a mission type in DRG called "scavenging" where its just like 5 optional objectives piled into one mission. Maybe it would be boring

[tight cargo]

How do you win tho

[pearl axle]

completing all of them

[bold hawk]

beat the objectives and call the drop pod

[unreal laurel]

I'd like that, but instead of swarms constantly spawning it should be focused on clearing large concentrations of really tanky bugs in unfavorable terrain

[bold hawk]

you know there is a suggestion chanell, put it in there

[unreal laurel]

Nah

Lazy

Lol

[tight cargo]

Fuck you 20 bulks

[unreal laurel]

Warden boosted bulks

[tight cargo]

Just shoot the warden

[unreal laurel]

Explode it with its friend

[bold hawk]

30 dreadnoughts

[unreal laurel]

15 hive guards, 10 twins and 1 og

Rest is the spitter boss that was scrapped

[bold hawk]

maybe the spiter boss is in RC

[unreal laurel]

Oh I wish

Tried it with the sandbox mod

It's very unique

[tight cargo]

There was a spitter dreadnaught?

[unreal laurel]

Spitter queen I think

[tight cargo]

Ok i can tell why it was scrapped

[unreal laurel]

Spawns shitton of acid spitters all the time

Not too much hp

Feels more like a miniboss

Bit like an oppressor with extra steps

[bold hawk]

Yeah some changes and it would be a great boss

[unreal laurel]

I think it's getting reworked into one of the enemies in rc

[bold hawk]

"the moment they add cosmetics" -you will give me that hat

[unreal laurel]

Wonder how the dlcs will look if there are any I'm rogue core

Anyway, imma go to sleep, cya

[wary notch]

rock and

[tight cargo]

A bigger rock

[tall plume]

Rogue and Stone, to the Core!

[raven wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/the-claw-toy-story-gif-5108112

[vague orchid]

I understand that aspect, but aren’t silly beards generally reserved for cosmetics you unlock later on? I feel that the reclaimers are meant to look more badass from the start, get what i mean?

But, a beard like that at the start would be cool

[toxic herald]

Will anything from deep rock carry over?

Like some kinda loyalty system

[native monolith]

No

[toxic herald]

Cool, love your pfp btw :)

[native monolith]

Siffarooni :D

[quaint dove]

Just got my invite email to the alpha. ||And then I woke up.||

It's okay. The pain was only on the inside, where the pain belongs.

[celest tinsel]

Has anyone gotten any invites yet?

[tall plume]

[severe nymph]

Hello rogue corers

[wintry latch]

yo i got my chem final in 3 hours

im stalking rogue core news instead

[chrome sundial]

Quick whats a radical

[severe nymph]

i wonder what the class differences will be like

im pretty sure the gauntlets are class dependent but i dont think theres anything else like that we know of

[split glacier]

Man, everytime i start typing ro for rogue core, i see a glimpse of deep ro-ck being visible and im like FUCK YEAH, and the second after i typed the g i don't see rogue core in my steam list i cry lol

[native monolith]

There’s perk sets, but yeah not much with solid evidence besides devs talking

[olive narwhal]

The goal was to make it easier to create more classes than drg

[native monolith]

I believe even the perks aren’t really class specific, just class related

Like you can run slicer perk set with falconeer

[chrome sundial]

That would make balancing a lot more difficult lol

[native monolith]

In some ways it doesn’t have to be

If someone finds a super wacky build with some crazy combo then they deserve it for experimenting

And then it can be toned down a little and the cycle continues as nerfs and rebuffs happen

[patent storm]

This game is gonna be so peak

Also the new weapons look so cool!

[severe nymph]

I can't freaking wait dude

I hope the price js still relatively low

I'm a brokie fr

[patent storm]

Could always wait for a sale

[chrome sundial]

The problem would be when you add a new class to a docket of 7 other classes and have to make sure there's no broken combos with any of the 7 other upgrade packages

It would add more variety and replayability, it would just make adding characters more difficult

[bold flint]

Is rogue core allowing more people into the latest soon?

[inner granite]

Anything is more than 0

[bold flint]

Well a few people I know got in, but not me unfortunately

[clever kraken]

Anyone know if rogue core is going to be a separate game from DRG or it going to be like a different game mode?

[inner granite]

They lie
Only devs, mods and staff has access rn

[inner granite]

New game

You can wishlist it on steam

[clever kraken]

Gotcha, thank you.

[bold flint]

Last I checked they weren’t any of those things but I’ll check again

[inner granite]

As i said, they lie

[bold flint]

The developers or my friends?

[inner granite]

Friends

[bold flint]

Oh well I trust them more than I trust you 🤷‍♂️

I guess someone is more mad than I am

[inner granite]

Ask them for proof then
Tell them to record idk, 10s long video while they fight, with full hud on

I'm not mad, i'm just telling you how it is

[bold flint]

I’m pretty sure there’s an NDA…

Since I’m not yet included on it I can’t have the info

[inner granite]

If they aren't community testers, then no

(public) closed alpha has no NDA

Private also doesn't have, but that's detial

[bold flint]

Everything you say seems like it’s backwards or like a double negative or something

[echo wing]

earlier they said nobody has nda not even the community testers

[inner granite]

This

[bold flint]

Ah interesting I’ll talk to them sometime

[inner granite]

It all works on hopes and players

Prayers*

[bold flint]

I’d make everyone sign an NDA if it was my game

[deep agate]

even me?

[bold flint]

Sea of thieves does it so it must make sense

[bold flint]

No don’t worry you’re awesome 😎

[deep agate]

valid

[bold flint]

You play bronzebeards tavern 😎

[inner granite]

Good luck try to make 10k or something players sign something
Devs just use argument "don't share it too soon, or you will lose access" (in case of testers)

[deep agate]

and im gonna buy their plush in exactly 11 hours and 36 minutes

[bold flint]

You can make them sign it and if they don’t then they don’t get to play the game

You don’t get to take something home from the store without paying first so why would they be allowed to play without signing?

[echo wing]

i think they mean good luck making sure 10k+ people comply with an NDA

[inner granite]

How you are gonna execute it? User XYZ shares video, who knows whos XYZ?

[deep agate]

typically modern games have watermarks on the screen that bounce around in text form

[inner granite]

Anyway, GSG don't do NDA

[bold flint]

It’s pretty cut and dry when someone breaks an NDA. They get removed from the program, and sometimes legal action.

[deep agate]

you could leak PARTIAL screenshots but big whoop. IT prevents streaming/video making which is the biggest issue

[echo wing]

but how do you know who did it

[inner granite]

I mean, with enough "i want to" it could be removed

[bold flint]

They sign it, they play. They don’t sign it, they don’t play. Simple as that!

[inner granite]

No it's not
How you know who is user XYZ out of 10k users?

[bold flint]

Well there are usernames and signatures attached to that?

[eternal geyser]

10k players sign and 1 anonymous user on the internet leaks everything

[echo wing]

a l t s

[eternal geyser]

whatcha gonna do?

[inner granite]

People on the internet never lie tho o:

[bold flint]

You have to sign your legal name for an NDA it’s not like you can get away with saying your name is John Doe and you don’t have a signature.

[eternal geyser]

they would never

[echo wing]

if i upload it to youtube anonymously how do you i did it

[bold flint]

I don’t think you guys have signed a single legally binding document in your lives have you?

[inner granite]

Okay, but my yt account isn't named or connected to name John Doe
They have no way of telling that youtuber XYZ is John Doe

[echo wing]

i have

[bold flint]

Your username and the watermark bounce around the screen so obviously they’ll figure it out instantly 🤦‍♂️

[echo wing]

but this is the internet

[echo wing]

cover it

who cares

[bold flint]

Was it a receipt at a restaurant?

[echo wing]

it was an nda

[bold flint]

With your hands? How?

[echo wing]

a black box

[inner granite]

You know, editing video programs exists...

[bold flint]

So you know how they work you are just trying to frustrate everyone

[echo wing]

its called editing

[inner granite]

A phone camera also exists

[bold flint]

Are you going to put in the effort to move the black box around the screen every 5 seconds?

[echo wing]

i know how they work but im saying how do you enforce it

[echo wing]

sure

[bold flint]

Legally 🤦‍♂️

[echo wing]

its not hard

[inner granite]

Yes
Also, there are programs to do it auto

[echo wing]

but how

[inner granite]

It's not hard

[echo wing]

i know breaking it would be illegal but how do you enforce it

[bold flint]

By suing you for damages and breaking the NDA? I don’t think you’ve read the one you talked about

[inner granite]

But who do you sue?

You don't know who leaked it

[echo wing]

how would you know its me

[inner granite]

He censored his name

[bold flint]

The company sues the player 🤦‍♂️

[inner granite]

All 10k players?

[echo wing]

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH PLAYER

[bold flint]

Because your legal name is listed and attached to it 🤦‍♂️

[inner granite]

You ignore important arguments

[eternal geyser]

Not on the internet

[inner granite]

To DEA: not to leaked video

[bold flint]

Nope, only the ones that are breaking the NDA 🤦‍♂️

[echo wing]

ARE YOU EVEN READING WHAT WERE SAYING

or ar eyou just stupid

[eternal geyser]

And how would anyone know who that is?

[bold flint]

You are not listening to how it works so I have to keep repeating myself 🤦‍♂️

[eternal geyser]

when the leak has no names associated with it

[inner granite]

Uhh, it's just rage trap

[echo wing]

you're not listening

[inner granite]

I'm out of this

[bold flint]

It’s not hard to find someone’s name if it’s LISTED

[echo wing]

okay so i upload a video anonimously to a website with everything censored how do you know it was me

[bold flint]

I have read everything you guys have said and i have just had to repeat myself over and over because you do not understand it

[inner granite]

Tell me when it's over
I'm going to watch something or idk

[bold flint]

If everything is censored then there’s nothing to look at 🤦‍♂️

[echo wing]

your just ragebaiting at this point

later

[bold flint]

I’m the one rage baiting? You are the one who needed to understand how NDAs work. Non-disclosure agreement. That means you cannot talk about something, and if you talk about it, you get in legal trouble! It’s as simple as that!

[echo wing]

if your not gonna listen im gonna leave

[bold flint]

You are the one not listening to facts 🤦‍♂️

[echo wing]

this isnt about how they work, that doesnt matter

its about how do you tell who leaked info

it doesnt

if i make a new email acount and go to like reddit and spoil everything about the game how do you know who did it

answer that please

nothing else

[bold flint]

Stop threatening to break NDA

[echo wing]

THATS NOT THE POINT

[echo wing]

JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION

[bold flint]

The question of what is stopping you? Legal Action. Nothing is untraceable anymore.

[echo wing]

no the question of how do you know who did it

[bold flint]

You can do all those things, but can you get away with it? No.

[echo wing]

i could easily

because how would you know its me

[bold flint]

I don’t work for the FBI I don’t have their technology, but this will be used in evidence collection in order to find out who broke NDA.

[echo wing]

thats not how it works

[bold flint]

I don’t want to say “I doubt you can” because that would encourage someone to break NDA, but yeah I doubt you could get away with it.

[daring hill]

hey this is an indie video game in closed alpha, why are we acting like Ghost Ship has FBI level identity-tracking technology

[bold flint]

They don’t, but the FBI does.

[daring hill]

And why would ghost ship ask the FBI to find out who has broken NDA

and of course this is assuming there will ever be one

[bold flint]

There supposedly isn’t one, but this whole conversation is just proof that it needs one. Clearly some people aren’t over the age of 18 and cannot sign legally binding documents therefore wouldn’t be able to access the game to leak all its information.

[simple cloak]

What the, tldr anyone?

[bold flint]

It would probably be lawyers who’d do that, but no one (except for the two people arguing with me) would break it. At least we know the culprits already.

[echo wing]

The fbi doesn’t investigate NDAs

[daring hill]

i think you are taking things way too seriously here

[eternal geyser]

BlindBob doesn't understand how people can be anonymous on the internet

[bold flint]

TLDR if there was an NDA on this, we know who would break it. The whole conversation was me explaining what an NDA is because google is too hard for them.

[echo wing]

My point exactly

[daring hill]

an NDA does not matter here because rogue core will not have an NDA

[bold flint]

You can’t be anonymous if your LEGAL name is attached to something.

[bold flint]

EXACTLY

[echo wing]

You anonymously leak it idiot

[daring hill]

wait you are actually against rogue core having an NDA? i thought thats what you are arguing for here

[bold flint]

That’s why it’s so stupid that these kids have been threatening to break it this whole time

[echo wing]

@bold flint

[bold flint]

I’m pro NDA, but there is none.

[daring hill]

yeah no rogue core absolutely does not need an NDA

[echo wing]

I’m not threatening to break anything I’m trying to explain why they don’t have one

[daring hill]

this is not the kind of game where pursuing that is worth it

nor is ghost ship really the type of company to even pursue one

[bold flint]

So like if there was one, great. Since there isn’t, there’s chances of issues. Unfortunately some people haven’t heard of NDAs before so they need help understanding.

[echo wing]

Stop twisting my words

[daring hill]

im not sure why you seem to be ride on die on the idea that rogue core needs to have an NDA

it does not.

[carmine zenith]

Hey

Guess what

[daring hill]

it simply is not that serious

[echo wing]

I know exactly what an nda is your not understanding what I’m saying

[carmine zenith]

Ya all dumb

[bold flint]

Yeah it’s a small game. The worst that could happen is all the gameplay gets leaked, but like who really cares that just generates more hype. If there was an NDA, that would be great for making sure there is real feedback and nobody ruining it for others.

[bold flint]

That’s what I’ve been saying!

[patent storm]

Your friends don’t have the game

There is no NDA

Why are you dying on this hill?

[bold flint]

What hill am I dying on? I would prefer an NDA, but it doesn’t need one. My friends don’t have the game, they signed up for it and it was a miscommunication. What is the hill?

[carmine zenith]

I'm gonna issue the coolest nda of all and lock the channel

[simple cloak]

🇳 🇩 🇦 moment

[patent storm]

lmao

[bold flint]

Honestly yeah good idea these kids need to go to sleep. It’s past their bedtimes.

[echo wing]

You have literally argued with everyone without listening to them

[echo wing]

And are being a dick

[daring hill]

also tbh "i know exactly who would break an nda here 🤓 " feels a bit uncalled for

a real "these people are dumb and children, im the only smart one here" attitude

[bold flint]

Well since it wouldn’t be legally binding for anyone under 18, yeah you can’t pursue legal action if they did.

[versed venture]

I dunno what's going on here, but is it so hard to just wait for the game to release or something? I know everyone's pretty hyped, but I don't think it's worth possibly getting in any trouble.

[ivory bloom]

👀

[bold flint]

Yeah there’s no NDA so there’s no legal issues

[inner granite]

As i remember BlindBob claimed that his friends have access to RC without any proof, and it all went from here

[echo wing]

I can’t with this guy I’m gonna go

[inner granite]

Good decision

[daring hill]

all this worry about NDA's,blaming people, acting like anything will happen, going "i know the people here will break NDA's, I'm better than them 🤓" when theres a huge chance GSG just streams the game day one of the closed alpha

[inner granite]

lol

[bold flint]

I thought they did but all they did was sign up

[echo wing]

They’ve got the biggest superiority complex I’ve seen in a while

[bold flint]

Didn’t you say you were leaving? Sleep well

[carmine zenith]

As someone who does have access to rogue core, I can tell you that the game ||has dwarves||

[bold flint]

Don’t let the bed glyphids bite

[inner granite]

O:
Game ruined

I thought it will be elves

[daring hill]

I've heard that Rogue Core will require a screen resolution

but you didn't hear that from me

[bold flint]

I know there are guns and bugs too!

[eternal geyser]

somebody lock this dwarf up you've spoilt the secrets of GSG

[ivory bloom]

did u know it also requires a working graphics card?

[daring hill]

WHAT

[ivory bloom]

yeaaaaaa

[daring hill]

that's really fucked... We need to stop GSG...

[inner granite]

-# to be honest, DRG and RC could probably run on potato

[bold flint]

I guess I’m out on this one my graphics card is only 1650

[daring hill]

Next you'll tell me I will need eyes to play RC

[eternal geyser]

nah the dwarves would turn it into vodka

[daring hill]

I have a 3050Ti and when my computer gets hot DRG becomes insufferable to play

the power of no real cooling capabilities babyyyyy

[inner granite]

My only lags are in azure wealds

[olive narwhal]

Ideally them going through and fixing particles will help rc run well

[bold flint]

My computer was cooking with gas earlier when I played the two Easter mission quest things and the two weekly quests straight through

[olive narwhal]

Thats the primary stuff that tanks my game

[daring hill]

I'm desperately waiting for winter in June so I can play DRG without having a max of 30fps after 30 miuntes

[eternal geyser]

uɐᴉlɐɹʇsnɐ uᴉ sǝᴉɹɔ

[olive narwhal]

Don't worry "winter" is coming

[inner granite]

You mean ˌˌuɐᴉʅɐɹʇsnɐ uᴉ sǝᴉɹɔˌˌ

[eternal geyser]

sǝʎ

[olive narwhal]

If you are barely running drg i don't like your chances for rogue core

[inner granite]

Nah, particle system got upgraded

It will be fineeee

[olive narwhal]

That will definitely help but does it matter for the people that had to turn off anyform of particle for drg to run

Then UE5 probably has higher minimums than UE4 even if minimally

[rich river]

hope there will be dwarves

rogue core good

[carmine zenith]

bro you can't just be giving out spoilers like that

[inner granite]

Wanna trade access to rc for a beer?

I have blackout scout!

[south kiln]

[south kiln]

😎

[simple cloak]

My future self told me the alpha test was fun, I can’t believe he got to play rogue core early wth

[bold hawk]

hey, where did everybody go? and why is almost every mod/bosconauts playing rouge core alone?
Should you not be testing the game together?

[median sleet]

It's the community tester role that gives them access to RC. Not the bosconauts one

[median sleet]

maybe they added a single player drone

[bold hawk]

In that case, fair

[tight cargo]

Its not bosco its now called cosco or smth

[bold hawk]

bosco was replaced by loyid

[tight cargo]

Hell yeah free beer on missions

[bold hawk]

loyids weapon: uses liquor and a lighter as a flamethrower

[inner granite]

What is bosconaut anyway

[median sleet]

A role that active/helpful people or people that do cool DRG related things get

[bold hawk]

huh

[bold hawk]

Will the new rock and stone be something related to the core or will it still be stone and rock?

[mossy ruin]

the devs said rock and stone stays

so I assume we'll just get a few new voicelines

[bold hawk]

Rock and stone to that

hopefully they release the beta before may 30th, so I don't start playing nightreign

[mossy ruin]

and I hope early access releases as late as possible, so that I can be done with silksong before moving on to RC

[bold hawk]

well if someone has patients it would be me... and the devil himself

[prisma robin]

I hope you treat your patients well 😉

[daring hill]

More closed alpha news should be in the next 4 days or so

Because in 4 days it will have been 1 week since the announcement

[native monolith]

I’m also interested in the dev streams this week

[neat acorn]

I want to be optimistic too, but this is some advanced hopium tbh

[desert sinew]

Hey ppl o/

Anyone knows when the alpha test is goin to start?

[violet tendon]

no

check the pins

[hollow bear]

At least a few weeks before the invites go out

[south kiln]

Rogue core good

[daring hill]

...what? No, they explicitly said more news will be in a week, when they made the announcement

Like that's not hopium that's just a fact

[neat acorn]

oh they did?

my bad, then

musta missed that

[daring hill]

Oh wait no my bad, the initial blog post happened, but they launched the alpha FAQ on the same day?

There's a post for the trailer and then a separate post for the FAQ claimed to launch a week after

Odd

Guess they didn't feel there was a point holding the info back

Now, if you want to hear REAL hopium?

I reckon playtests will start after Easter

They already aren't streaming for those holidays

[inner granite]

+1 week

[daring hill]

Every time someone asks, it takes one week longer and everyone at GSG has a round of beer

[inner granite]

Today i had a dream, that it's alredy out

Stupid alarm

[errant kiln]

They are getting alcohol poisoning

[daring hill]

I actually had a real rogue core dream a few days ago

You had resupplies, but they were "personal"

All ammo drew from a single pool

[native monolith]

I’m pretty sure that’s what it’s like

You find ammo boxes and stuff around

[daring hill]

Right, but I assume thats still separate ammo pools

Using rifle ammo can't affect pistol ammo for example

[native monolith]

It probably is weapon specific

I’m also hoping that’s how grenades work

Where you can just find various ones around

[tight cargo]

Nuke grenades when

[native monolith]

Giant nuclear bomb but you can’t throw it more than 6 meters

[tight cargo]

Basiclly ultimatum in helldivers

[native monolith]

Peak

[inner granite]

hear me out

we hack int odev's steam accounts

and play RC early

[young vessel]

you have to recite a poem that the devs write at the start of every week so it wouldnt work unless you had an insider

[glossy heath]

wth, why u can play and we dont?

[tight cargo]

Nah sry bro i dont want to have steam support hitmen after me

[inner granite]

tru

Gabe would execute us himself

[daring hill]

Simply invent a time machine, and go back in time so you can become a moderator and get access

Don't question why you wouldn't just go forward in time to 2026

[bold hawk]

I thought of a funny thing that could be done... All text in the game has typos that will stay as typos until reported here on the discord server, just to mess with everyone

[fathom depot]

Hi does anyone know if rogue core runs on the same engine as the original ? Im curious if it will have the same requirements as the graphics look identical at first glance

[tall plume]

it's on UE5

DRG is on UE4

[fathom depot]

oh okay thanks

[bold hawk]

TECNOLOGY

[tall plume]

as for the requirements, it's too early to tell

[queen blade]

Is it possible to get acess to the rouge core? Since i wanna see if it can work on my potato pc

[median sleet]

no, you can sign up for the playtest that happens in a month through steam

[fickle abyss]

BRO I ALSO HAVE HAD ONE WTH (all my dreams are channeled through videogames though. most end is zombie apocalypses for some reason :/

[queen blade]

Ahhh i see

[daring hill]

FWIW it's within a month, not a full month

[median sleet]

I had one when the first teaser trailer came out

[daring hill]

Specific wording was a month at most

So it could very well be before may

[median sleet]

it was RoR2 gameplay but the beetle queen was blue

[mossy ruin]

overloading beetle queen at the start of the game is crazy

[rich river]

the rogue 😈

[hollow bear]

Wait until the clay templars start showing up

[bold hawk]

hopefully gilded elites don't exist

[median sleet]

They fixed them, they're fine now

[median sleet]

They really wanted to show the players how different this game is frow what they're used to

[native monolith]

Malachite clay templars

[forest rain]

Just stand close to those

[north steeple]

God I hate those with a passion

[obtuse dock]

Question.

I'm considering requesting access to the Rogue Core alpha since I have a lot of ideas (two entire (unsubmitted) update plans for DRG and TF2), but I'm recovering from surgery, so my left hand is out of commission.

To anyone already with access to the Closed Alpha, how hard would the game be to play one-handed?

[tall plume]

near damn impossible, I'd reckon. It's pretty much like DRG

[abstract sleet]

Any of you think Javier O’Neill is going to voice the Reclaimers aswell?

[obtuse dock]

Got it. Thanks!

Nice beard by the way.

[native monolith]

He will

We have seen it in the OTH

[wide citrus]

Have people already gotten access to rouge core?

[native monolith]

Yeah; community playtesters and mods

[young vessel]

yeah some people were able to do this in under a day #rogue-core-chat message

[native monolith]

The general public is within a month

[abstract sleet]

Makes wonder what voice direction they’ll go with for an expert security team

[dusty pond]

Wait this guy was talking about people who've already played it. Closed Alpha isn't starting yet right?

[native monolith]

They said the ones who requested on steam, that will start within the next month right? I looked in the pins and there are a bunch of videos and stuff, but I am justing asking because in the steam post they made for rogue core they said within the next month

.

[native monolith]

It’s in the FAQ

hey pounce can you pin the "pin a "look at pins" message" message?

[ashen iron]

I hope the devs do a stream playing Rogue Core, I'd die to see one

[topaz wagon]

are thay still accepting beta access i requsted it 2 days after thay opened it

[robust marlin]

As long as you can request access on steam it means that they're taking requests :)

[inner granite]

I mean, they do not accept beta requests...

They accept alpha requests!

[simple cloak]

[worthy ice]

Im dumb and realized i should just look at the steam page

[blissful geyser]

It's a spin off with more roguelike elements.

[inner granite]

Nah, DRG is a spin off of RC, trust me

[daring hill]

people are learning 🙏

[rich river]

the ||bugs|| are cool

[ashen iron]

[junior falcon]

Could you terraform and mine in rogue core ?

[mossy ruin]

yes you can

[tiny kettle]

so rogue core gonna be linear than DRG ?

[mossy ruin]

what do you mean?

[tiny kettle]

tbh

im not sure what is the diffrent in rogue core

[mossy ruin]

read pins and the steam page

[finite laurel]

In short: It's a roguelike, you spawn with almost no equipment beyond the ability of your class and a starter weapon, you go through a procedurally generated level much like in DRG (though more straightforward and "linear") unlocking character upgrades throughout the mission

[mossy ruin]

will it be more linear though?
yes, there will be a cable to the elevator to the next stage, but taking detours I'd wager will most likely be required in order to get stronger and actually live

[finite laurel]

One of the biggest differences is that guns and tools are not tied to your class at all so you can have any loadout you want so long as those weapons spawn

[finite laurel]

I feel like I heard that on one of the streams, there's a lot more structures and pre-dug tunnels that guide where you're supposed to go

Where in DRG you're expected to determine that on your own

There's a lower emphasis on mining in general

[mossy ruin]

I mean, in DRG, missions like mining expedition or sabotage are also linear

[inner granite]

In expedition, there are sometimes small optional caves

And in sabotage you can go to gen 1, 2 or both at once

[mossy ruin]

not really?

sometimes the rooms intersect with the tunnel, that's probably what you are thinking about

[finite laurel]

Ofc, there are linear missions, but from what we know currently I don't think RC will have non-linear missions

We'll have to wait and see, it's possible the devs themselves don't know

[mossy ruin]

maybe RC will only have 1 mission type

[inner granite]

Something like random objective would be cool

Like, "get to point A and we'll see from there what to do"

[inner granite]

I mean main randon objective

[north steeple]

I wonder what kind of pre-game upgrades we will be able to get

[tiny kettle]

character upgrade I assume

skill tree etc

like more recent horde shooter

[inner granite]

Yoo, yes

I want a skill tree

Not what we have in drg

But a tree, with branches, diffrend builds for that tree...

Where we pick paths (more hp or running faster? Ect)

Ofc with free respec

This would allow for more unique builds: in drg it is just diffrend guns, but with skill tree, we could make our own classes

[glossy heath]

every run we will have a different skill tree, right? why make such significant complications with an additional tree

[inner granite]

On run, we won't have skill tree, just skills

You can pick A or B or AB, if you roll it

Plus it's all random

What i mean is some set part, mostly stat boosts

We can pick A or B but not AB

[glossy heath]

yes, I said it wrong, I meant that these random skills and weapons can be considered as a skill tree, each run is new

[snow plume]

did they send invites out already?

[thin apex]

I haven't seen the full model review if that's why lol

[median sleet]

what screenshot are people seeing fur on?

[tall plume]

the last trailer

[thin apex]

Nah not even last trailer, since the first time we saw them they looked like they had fur lol

[tall plume]

fuck sake, love when control+v decides it won't copy

[thin apex]

[tall plume]

bruh, discord

let me copy the fucking link

I clicked it 3 times

[thin apex]

But it's okay it's not fur then

[tall plume]

you can see it there
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mdn9Uhea9I

[thin apex]

Which is honestly not surprising because we don't have any furry creatures in the game

[tall plume]

also, "copy message link" button don't seem to work anymore, thanks discord

[thin apex]

Ah yes, not surprising either because Discord's incompetence

[median sleet]

I can't see it myself but I think I can understand why people see fur on them

[median sleet]

I am not putting the table back again!

Ate without table -3

[median sleet]

We'll get it in a month

[limber moss]

I spammed the trailer just for the alarm sound

If that is the horde alert or part of the horde music, i'll pay any price to play the game

[thin apex]

Overall the soundtrack quality for Rogue Core has been incredible

[mossy ruin]

real and true

[thin apex]

Which makes me wonder if we'll hear the Core Stone's theme again in Rogue Core

[quartz finch]

New player. Is the intent for DRG to stay alive and supported after RC is launched? Any players either play both or pick their preference of normal progression versus roguelike?

Or is RC basically supposed to be the next mainline game that players switch over to?

[mossy ruin]

wdym preference of progression?
DRG and RC are two separate games

and season 6 for drg is confirmed

[native monolith]

Yes

Rogue core is just them making a new thing but DRG will still get support

It’s unknown how support for rogue core will be done after its release (I don’t even think the devs know at this point) but DRG will continue to get support, atleast for a bit

[wintry cliff]

God I want a reply already

i wish there had been a option to write a little for the alpha submission... I played in drg beta, got thousands of hours in the game, I playtested plenty of games in the past

I wonder if they will require a NDA, many companies do

[mossy ruin]

95% they won't

[tall plume]

it won't

[mossy ruin]

I would link why that is, but discord won't let me copy message links

[tall plume]

having random people chosen all over the world and trying to make them sign a NDA is a surefire way to create various lawsuits

[wintry cliff]

One of the more recent examples I had was AoE2 DE

but ig thats just Microsoft

[tall plume]

Besides, they didn't make the community testers (so people they handpicked themselves) sign NDA either

[hollow bear]

Thank Karl cuz I can't read

[tall plume]

so far, it's been working only on the honor system, and it has worked out for now

[wintry cliff]

this community is fairly chill (cant speak for the discord in the past), so im sure its fine

its gonna be entirely luck based, eh?

[olive narwhal]

Yes

[tall plume]

yeah

[olive narwhal]

Pick a name out of hat

[wintry cliff]

wouldve thought they do a microsoft forms or something and look for people who can provide (mostly) quality feedback

iirc the drg beta also wasn't random

[tall plume]

The situation has changed quite a lot since the days of DRG

they have community testers now, so they got that quality feedback for the core of things. Closed alpha is for the more broad feedback

With DRG they had no community yet so things were done differently

[wintry cliff]

Wish I knew how people became those, never even heard of it

[tall plume]

Don't really know how they started handpicking them, I only know of how it works those days

which is basically by recommandation

[delicate flax]

are they also picked from bug hunters?

[tall plume]

and then it's a yes/no from the Almighty QA god

[delicate flax]

/experiemental

[tall plume]

not necessarily but it does help

[wintry cliff]

Ig ive never been active enough in the community, dont have the spare time

tho then again I used to work in QA for a bigger company and that probably scarred me for life

[tall plume]

understandable

[wintry cliff]

I'll just hope to get lucky

[olive hound]

"More Reclaimers" in the road map sounds spicy

Me wants

[median sleet]

Mission control will be the next reclaimer

[olive hound]

Mission control will be our overseer again?

[median sleet]

IIRC he will be at the start of a mission or something

He's at least in the game

[olive hound]

Maybe Flying Molly can be a talkative assistant?

[native monolith]

the point IS for it to be random

they want people of varying levels

[olive hound]

Because if u are at the Core of a planet, communications could be a problem.

[native monolith]

thats why theyre obviously not gonna just pick out all the "i have 395472394 hours in drg!!!!" people because that would be a playtest of one group

monoculture is bad

[wintry cliff]

makes sense, im just thirsting for more drg... 5k+ hours across 2 accounts and now im getting tired of helldivers

[native monolith]

also the time it would take to actually look over the forms would be insane

considering how many sign ups theyre going to get

[wintry cliff]

yeah I bet Microsoft had people dedicated to just reading the forms for AoE2

or some algorithm

[native monolith]

if they actually did forms youd probably have a better chance getting in if you had never played drg lel

i would imagine that will be the minority in the playtests

[tall plume]

on the basis that a lot of people who don't play DRG won't hear about Rogue Core, that's pretty inevitable, yeah

[wintry cliff]

I got some friends with whom I played hundreds of hours of risk of rain, they are curious about it and never played drg

Gotta spread the word where u can :p

Will rouge core have loot bugs or have they gone rogue as well?

[tall plume]

it has lootbugs, yes

[wintry cliff]

hostile lootbugs when

Also I keep bouncing the idea of a lootbug rancher

is like slime rancher except u shoot bugs and rescue lootbugs/feed em what you find

Each lootbug type prefers different minerals

some est only plants like boolo

[desert shard]

I'd be Deep Rock Galactic on my Core till i'm Rouge

[fathom depot]

will cosmetics transfer over from the first game ?

[mossy ruin]

no

RC is a completely separate game

[humble magnet]

Imagine having to fight off "poachers" (i.e. dwarf miners trespassing on your ranch)

[hollow chasm]

This may have been hashed to death already, but in the trailer for Rogue Core, I didn't like how detailed the animations and models were. It just felt like it wasn't in the same universe as DRG, let alone the same planet...

[tall plume]

actually, that's the first time I see this

[hollow chasm]

Oh! Okay. did anyone else feel that way? It just felt like the Salvage repair objectives turned up to eleven, but in doing so, it just felt like a future remake of the current game rather than an expansion on it... Might be a small complaint, but somehow it felt immersion breaking in a way.

[runic depot]

Rogue Core™️

[tall plume]

if anything, people have been complaining it looks too much like DRG for a new game

[hollow chasm]

lol. I guess that's fair, but I mean, shouldn't it? it's just around the corner in the timeline and will be running parallel to this one, so I would think the tech should look familiar.

[olive narwhal]

Reclaimers enjoy the better equipment that DRG refuses to give to the combat miners

[wheat pewter]

ehh if the reclaimer tech is based on reverse engineered rival tech, I don't think it has to look familiar

and so far we've only been exposed to DRG's technology from the miner's perspective, they have an entire R&D department, there's no way all they came up with were a couple of robots and some wacky guns

[mossy ruin]

well, rc is not an expansion to drg

[uncut bronze]

but they didn't say what date the alpha test will be launched?

[glad vessel]

why haven't i been invited yet please!!!

[tall plume]

they did

check the pinned messages

I mean, unless you want a set date rather than an estimate, then I guess they didn't

[median sleet]

invites haven't gone out yet

[daring hill]

Yknow, I'm wondering if GSG will run an open alpha like what DRG got back in November 2017. Anyone who signed up got access to a free weekend to try out the game. Not for testing or anything, but just to try it out

Granted, in that case DRG launched over 4 months later

Maybe it'd be wise not to create a self-fulfilling prophecy, and make rogue core launch in 2026

[tall plume]

probably not, that's just gonna be Early Access

they needed that back then because they didn't yet have a community

[daring hill]

True

[tall plume]

It's probably gonna be waves of closed beta once or twice to get more feedback before EA release

well, that's just my assumption at least

I could be completely wrong

[daring hill]

I think they explicitly said it's only until Q4

Once Q4 hits all testing stops for the final push

[native monolith]

"reclaimer equipment is prone to 4.6% less explosive malfunctions!" -R&D

[glad vessel]

ik but I WANT IT NOW!!

[tough fulcrum]

Imagine this game just becomes one of the most terrifying games ever

[native monolith]

Patience, young padawan

[daring hill]

Its definitely been said before but I hope they bother with lore more. A past newsletter said they have internal lore documents, and I hope they are both more extensive and have more of it appear in game than drg

[tall plume]

they've pretty much already confirmed that lore will be handled the same as in DRG

[daring hill]

Damn that's unfortunate

Oh well, it's not like horror is a major focus here

Don't think you can achieve that terribly well if lore is like, some flavour text sprune about the place

[tall plume]

I don't think trying to cram horror (as in, important elements) into an action game is ever going to work anyway. You can incorporate horror elements and such but it will never feel like a horror game

[native monolith]

“Horror” when I shoot it in the head with a nuclear bomb

[tall plume]

For all I can say, the Rogue Core vibe right now is less horror and more something between "quiet anguish" and "oh shit we're all gonna die"

[native monolith]

Ah, so drg haz 5+

[tall plume]

eh, DRG isn't much for "quiet anguish"

the quiet times can be a bit unnerving but it's not that much of a deal

[native monolith]

The worst it gets is vibing away from the team and hearing a bulk detonator in your ear

I wonder if rogue core will have any sounds as eerie as that

[inner granite]

We all are gonna die anyway

[inner granite]

For sure
Sound desing is an important part of DRG

You could do a mission blind, just listening to sounds

[neat acorn]

I'm very intrigued

I love the quiet moments in drg

where nothing major happens, and you just kinda vibe

[glossy heath]

I'm curious how it's being tested now: can you log in at any time or is there a secret chat where it says when and for how long the servers are turned on?

[inner granite]

For mods/community testers? If they use same multiplayer model as in DRG, ig that log in any time

Game is hosted on host's pc anyway

[raven wharf]

Right now it's not open to the public. FAQ on the closed alpha are in pinned messges.

[inner granite]

That's not what we ment
When lucky tester that do have access to alpha rn, wants to play, are there scheldue sessions or "pick your time"

[carmine zenith]

Why would it be scheduled sessions

[inner granite]

Also, this got me wonder: if Steam would go dead, would multiplayer for DRG still work?

[tall plume]

probably not

[inner granite]

that wasn't my question, i just explained ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[raven wharf]

then you need to be more specific with your question

[tall plume]

I'm curious how it's being tested now: can you log in at any time or is there a secret chat where it says when and for how long the servers are turned on?
that was the question

seems pretty clear to me what's being asked.

As for the answer: it's not scheduled sessions - it would be a nightmare to make something like this, because of timezones and people simply having their own life.

Testers can log in at any time.

[glossy heath]

Thanks for the answers. I thought about the existence of a schedule, assuming that there are not many testers and somehow we need to gather everyone together, into full teams.

[gilded rock]

considering the amount of people playing DRG, I don't think there will be a lack of testers

[dusty laurel]

Ppl would just host from thier own PCs and the pirate market would explode with activity.. besides steam is a global power house for gaming its not going any where

[fathom depot]

If anyone seen made in abyss I hope the curve will be similar, you can go so deep that unbelivable horrors will show up. It adds a bit of misery to the game if there is no end point, I would rather get wiped on a super hard area and wonder what might be after it

[wicked prawn]

any chance some of the rogue core weapons will make it into drg

[tall plume]

no

they can make new weapons easily in RC precisely because they don't have to encumber themselves with all the systems from DRG

[dapper crescent]

Well... testing schedules exist and happen in other parts of the industry.

I think it's not feasible at the GSG scale, but there's definitely been testing windows where X days or X weeks of testing occur.

Individualized (ie: per-tester) testing windows are uncommon in the video game space.

[wicked prawn]

damn thats disappointing

[dapper crescent]

I have participated in one such testing phase for a game, where I was provided a window of time ahead of time to log in, test, and report.

[tall plume]

they were talking about scheduled sessions and I took as such, but limited playtesting window is likely what's gonna happen for RC

[dapper crescent]

obviously NDA covers that, but it's rather uncommon.

Yeah

[raven wharf]

Lots of fun opportunities and homages to be had.

[dapper crescent]

I got that, I was just saying, it's something that can happen, albeit a difficult overall endeavour to work around at scale.

[native monolith]

Think about this way: if they want to add a new weapon to DRG, they have to:

make 4 weapons that fit each class (already a crazy task)

Balance them, taking into account all previous weapons

Make an insane amount of frameworks and paintjobs

Make what, 24 or so new ocs

And probably double all this so there’s an equal amount of primaries and secondaries

In rogue core

They make the gun. Balance it a little

[fathom depot]

will rogue core be classles ?

[native monolith]

And frameworks and paintjobs i guess but we aren’t there yet

[native monolith]

No

But classes and weapons are not tied together anymore

[median sleet]

4 classes right now, they get a unique ability

[raven wharf]

pinned messages

[carmine zenith]

Who up rogueing they core rn

[median sleet]

and class related upgrades

[median sleet]

The playtesters (you)

[native monolith]

Not me

[tall plume]

not me either 😔

[median sleet]

Gonna claim I got in the closed alpha playtest next week to mess with people

[ashen condor]

Can I be in the playtest as Mission Control or a core spawn? Just a 1% chance for a name to be replaced with "Mcsticken". Truat me, is excellet game design, 100%

[native monolith]

Holy shit

Guys check your email

[tall plume]

📸

[mossy ruin]

yeah, also check the steam page for silksong

[toxic herald]

I wonder how the leveling system will be in rogue core

Like if promotions will be a thing

[ashen condor]

It'll be a different definition of promotion. Get ready for "40% off Linkitudes, this weekend only!"

[atomic ruin]

rogue core tomorrow

[toxic herald]

theyre selling 40% of me? D:

[ashen condor]

Only for the weekend

[shell heath]

snell of the game

[severe nymph]

Jeez this game stinks

[toxic herald]

I already know it

[steel hearth]

I've been holding onto this absurd, secret hope that RC might facilitate making new DRG weapons because they said that some DRG OCs got turned into full weapons in RC, so maybe it could work backwards too.

Like once they've got a decent crop of weapons they might look back and say "hmm, this one might work for Engie. And this one could be an OC for the first one..."

But, it's a big dumb hope that I don't actually believe.
And even then there's still the whole frameworks and paintjobs issue

[native monolith]

It’s very much a pipe dream for new weapons in drg imo

I think all of them are good and all of them work

I’d say new grenades are very possible

[steel hearth]

Oh, I agree

And yet I hope

🥺

[toxic herald]

honestly i dont want new weapons

i feel like all of the ones right now patch a hole on the character theyre for

and give them great new options

[native monolith]

Well, I would want new weapons, but only if they’re all perfect and somehow don’t take up an enormous amount of time to make

Which is not really possible

[toxic herald]

yeah thats a good point

im so excited for rogue core man

[native monolith]

So, I don’t really want new weapons

[native monolith]

Yeah

They have freed themselves from the shackles of classes and ascended

[toxic herald]

you wanna squad up if we both get in the alpha? none of my friends are interested

[native monolith]

And we will now get 1542 weapons in rogue core

[native monolith]

Sure

[toxic herald]

LETS GOOOOOO

[native monolith]

Hopefully there’s an alpha testing area or server

[wet vale]

WHEN INVITES?

[native monolith]

So people can voice call and test that side of it

[native monolith]

Soon™️

[toxic herald]

haha no embeds nerd

[wet vale]

mommy!

is this a pointy-eared leaf-loving discord server?

[toxic herald]

no they just dont want the channel clouded with gifs and images i imagine

[wet vale]

fair enough

(still a bit leaf loving, though)

I'm so stuck waiting for a couple of closed test

rogue core and another game

[tall plume]

we had embeds for the longest time but people kept abusing it

[toxic herald]

of course they did

[tall plume]

also there was nothing pleasant in dealing with the gore, the horny and the crash gifs

[wet vale]

gifs are fine, when used with moderation

[toxic herald]

eugh

[wet vale]

when channels are spammed, not so much

[tall plume]

every once in a while we also had someone come in and start spamming them too ofc

[delicate flax]

can we have embeds in the permanent slowmode thread

[native monolith]

A single use embed every 2 years

[young vessel]

i love the new laser pod design, will there also be something to shows how its able to go upwards like uhh maybe a giant bungie cord perhaps

[gilded rock]

Imagine a driller laser drill

[wanton skiff]

any laser weapon in rogue core would be cool

[severe nymph]

im rogueing out

[severe nymph]

shard diffracter 2

[wanton skiff]

shard diffractor minigun

[native monolith]

The reclaimers push really hard

[verbal adder]

Is rogue core a new season for DRG or a new game entirely? Sorry for the silly question but I'm a little confused

[tall plume]

It's a new game entirely. check the pinned messages for info

[verbal adder]

Ah that's a shame. thank you

[wanton skiff]

yeah okay bud

[cunning crown]

but no

[verbal adder]

Huh

[cunning crown]

indeed

[gaunt bronze]

It’s not a shame at all

[ruby root]

Guys i have awoken from my 5 month slumber is rouge core out yet?

[cunning crown]

nope you can go back to sleep

[ruby root]

damn it

[young vessel]

they released a trailer and theres a qna thing

[cunning crown]

prolly 5 more months...

[ruby root]

by 5 months i mean 5 hours (Its a regonal time thing)

[cunning crown]

well by that math you have a loooooong time to go

[ruby root]

im cooked

[lethal otter]

when alpha start

[inner granite]

+1 week

[ashen condor]

When's the epsilon start?

[inner granite]

In n+2 seconds, where n is time in seconds since Unix epok started

[ashen condor]

Ah, so we're perpetually edging. Nice

[tall plume]

pinned messages

[ashen condor]

The pins only talk about Rogue Core. When do we find out about Mage Core and Warrior Core?

[obtuse dock]

Warrior Core is regular DRG.

Mage Core is regular DRG when you drink mix powdered bittergem into the blackout stout, get so drunk you discover a new colour, and end up with one foot in the grave and the other floating in the air as glyphids flee in terror.

[inner granite]

i didn't ask how big a room is, i said i cast fireball

[obtuse dock]

I only cast fireball once.

Party got attacked by a black dragon.
I had a broken DMPC I needed to get rid of.

I took 10+ vials of alchemist's fire, oil and acid, and personally dragged the overgrown lizard to hell with a 4th level point blank fireball.

[inner granite]

Mage high on every potion in his inventory is a thing to fear

[toxic herald]

Erm nuh uh
