rogue-core-chat

[olive hound]

Well... lootbugs are bugs so i'll say yes.

[astral dome]

What if we already have a female dwarf but the differences between male and female for dwarves are so insignificant and small that we didn't notice

[vagrant mesa]

You mean to tell me that female dwarfs also has beards

[inner granite]

yes

all dwarfs have beards

ba, beards are used as natural air filters, that's why beardless dwarfs often have breathing issues

[olive hound]

Yes

Even Dwarfs beards have beards

Beardlings

Maybe we could have a Dwarf with beard powers... grabbing core spawns and yeeting them all over

[astral dome]

Dwarves should be able to dwarfify an enemy, making it smaller and giving it an urge to mine precious minerals

[pulsar owl]

Will there be some kind of sprint by default accessibility options in RC?

[gaunt bronze]

It’s actually a pretty cool idea for an ability—maybe a class equipped with a ‘gravity gun’ built into their gauntlet. Not sure if it fits the devs’ vision, though.

[vagrant scaffold]

By this logic, all dwarves should have profuse nasal hair, even flowing out of their nostrils and over their moustaches.

And plenty of thick and outflowing ear hair too, to make sure they can hear every single glyphid.

[pulsar owl]

This would surely end up filtering out the sounds of bugs, and the smell of gold

[errant kiln]

I don’t like that

That makes me sad

[vagrant scaffold]

It would, since realistically speaking both nose and ear hairs impede functioning past a certain point.

[north steeple]

Day 19 of rogue core alpha hype

[vagrant mesa]

Still waiting for official early access release

[sharp mist]

I simply want more Mission Control lore

[ashen condor]

I feel like it was said; are missions infinite go-until-you-lose, or is there an end to get to?

[inner granite]

I think there will be the end

Devs said something somewhere about a boss at the end

But i wish there was infinite mode

I want my doom slayer fantasy

[ashen condor]

Okay.
I guess it remains to be seen if "boss" refers to some core spawn or if we'll have to fight Mission Control :^)

[inner granite]

I think it will be just our mission objective

[gaunt bronze]

Boss at very end or end of each level?

[inner granite]

Like that crystal from trailer

[gaunt bronze]

I remember it’s the latter

[inner granite]

Not dark souls boss, but boss as hard challange

[inner granite]

Level

[gaunt bronze]

There are five levels iirc

I’m pretty curious about the boss designs in RC. Are we gonna get some of it in alpha?

[olive hound]

Maybe something like the escort mission finale?

A living piece of rock/something

[inner granite]

Other games: boss is this big bug or robot
DRG: your boss is this limestone. Good fucking luck

[gilded rock]

we're fighting galactic rocks in the deep

[severe nymph]

The next question is do all the old rock and stones carry over or does rogue core get whole new ones?

[inner granite]

Rouge stones!

Pink stones!

[severe nymph]

Give me a rogue and core ⛏️

[chrome sundial]

https://tenor.com/view/drg-rogue-core-deep-rock-galactic-rogue-core-gif-3605200668318357032

[pulsar owl]

i reckon theres exponite, red sugar, and one more

i don't konw if the rest is ported or not

[errant kiln]

gold

[gaunt bronze]

I think they’re asking about the voicelines

[severe nymph]

No I meant live the rock and stone button lmao

I was wondering if they woukd be new voice lines

[pulsar owl]

Ahhhh, XD

yes there will be new ones, a dev said so

[sly tartan]

I'm curious how the closed alpha works. Is it possible to sign up somewhere or is it an existing group of testers

[astral sluice]

sign up on the steam page

[north steeple]

Fighting mission control to get the locator tag for Karl's armor so we can finally find him

[plush flame]

hope to play this pretty game one day

[vagrant mesa]

[pulsar owl]

[trail bobcat]

Has the first testing wave been released?

[solemn ore]

in the closed alpha yes players are already testing

[north steeple]

me when I spread missinformation

[native monolith]

He’s technically not wrong

[tall plume]

no, see the pinned fAQ for details

[trail bobcat]

So basically 5/11/25

[compact shard]

I have a really good idea for a rogue core cosmetic: the dwarf's face but with make up. Call that rouge core

[uncut folio]

Knowing some overclocks for DRG got turned into weapons in rouge core, would I be correct in guessing that railgun looking thing is a reincarnation of Hipster?

Can’t post images here but people probably know which one I’m talking about

[severe nymph]

When did gsg say that? I don't remember any talk about ocs turning into weapons

[uncut folio]

I forgot where it was they said it but I do explicitly remember them saying that when adding new weapons to RC, some of them came from overclocks in DRG that they turned into their own weapons

[severe nymph]

Oh

Neat

I hope they don't mean that literally

Like a sort of vague sense

I'd hate a new weapon to just be more or less a weapon skin another weapon

[uncut folio]

Since I’d presume OCs aren’t in RC, it makes sense to implement some of the more fun ones into the game as their own weapons, since some OCs almost make different weapons anyway

[severe nymph]

I getcha

[uncut folio]

It’s just that in RC it would have its own model, sounds, and animations

[severe nymph]

I never thought of the fact ocs wouldn't be in core but jt makes sense

[hearty nova]

right i forget the venn diagram of these two fanbases is a circle sometimes

[daring hill]

Yeah, I'd love to see scorching tide as a weapon

[karmic pulsar]

what's rogue core about and how is it different from drg

[long breach]

Have you read any of the pinned messages in this channel and the steam store page? That info youre looking for is found there

[queen gull]

Aren't the OC basically gonna be upgrades you pick ? Atleast some of them

[surreal ginkgo]

Best pfp I've ever seen

[pure vessel]

I think we'll have both

It depends. I don't think we want to re-record old ones, but try to make them both fit

Yeah we don't have a solution for that right now.... Task for future us I guess. We'll figure something out.

[pure vessel]

It will come with new weapon feel of course.

[pure vessel]

Right now we just have upgrades you can pick and choose from, basically a mix your an OC kind of thing. Then we'll see where we land with OC stuff.

[inner granite]

How many classes there will be? Or it wasn't though of yet/will be constantly developed?

[vagrant mesa]

I mean, it suppose to be rogue-like game? I do believe there would be no need for classes

[inner granite]

Gauntlets

[vagrant mesa]

I'm still rather not familiar with that anyway

[inner granite]

For example, look at april 1 video

-# to be honest, i was dissapointed with this year joke, i was hoping for another story about loot bags or something

[pure vessel]

Right now theres 4, but we have concepts for 3 more.

we can potentially continue making them infinitely if we wanted to

[inner granite]

Will it be possible to go class-less?

As a challange

[pure vessel]

No

[inner granite]

):

[pure vessel]

But you're free to not use your class ability

It's esentially the same

[daring hill]

I'm still curious to see what a non-expenite run will be like

All upgrades must be obtained in ways unrelated to expenite

[inner granite]

Isn't exponite just a curriency?

It isn't a mission objective, is it?

[daring hill]

I think its purely a mineral for upgrades

[inner granite]

Like nitra or gold

[daring hill]

The sequel to Nitra basically

[inner granite]

Nitra 2

[pure vessel]

Painful

[daring hill]

Has it been tried yet?

I reckon it'd probably go the same way as higher hazards in DRG with no upgrades

[pure vessel]

No, but all upgrades except artifacts and weapon upgrades are obtained through expenite, so basically you'd be severely underpowered

[queen gull]

Just hope one of the upgrades is bouncy bullets so I don't have to aim xd

[severe nymph]

I hope they make bouncy bullets but actually decent to

[daring hill]

Question for any devs available to answer: that elevator between stages, is that an area players exist in like the drop pod, or is it like the deep dive transition where it's essentially a cutscene?

If it's the former, can we move around?

[pure vessel]

Yes, you can move around inside it before and after it starts/stops, but it's essentially just a transition from level to level

but the gamepaly surrounding it is basically get to the elevator, wait for it to open, enter, go to next stage

[brittle crag]

It would be nice if we could choose between the available ones
Extra customisation is always nice (especially, if we get female dwarves?)

[median sleet]

Make the player voice all the lines before they can play

[pure vessel]

I mean sure, having a slider is a cool customization option, but I'm not sure how much we want to lock down classes to a specific feel, etc.

[quartz zephyr]

I would donate my house for this feature

[brittle crag]

Fair point
There are probably a million more things that need to be considered that i cant even think of

[prisma robin]

hello guys, have the alpha testers been chosen yet?

[midnight totem]

no, check pins for all current info

[prisma robin]

gotcha, thx!

[midnight totem]

Well, other than pitch there are a few other "filters" possible for audio, so the amount of ways to remix are not that limited

changing the treble:bass ratio can change a lot alone, then add some pitch and maybe a little filter and possibilities are nearly endless

[radiant comet]

We have tried some different filters and effects, but challenge is to make it consistent across thousands of voice lines recorded during the years. With too many filters and plugins, it quickly sounds artificial

[median sleet]

I've noticed in DRG when MC plays an old voiceline followed by a new one you can definitly tell the difference in audio quality

[radiant comet]

Yeah, some lines were recorded in an untreated room 7 years ago and the newest one are in a studio with acoustic treatments and better microphones!

[olive hound]

DRG finally got some better equipment

[pure vessel]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/2605790/eventcomments/591770005685689078/

[fierce valley]

does the play test started yet?

[midnight totem]

no...

the article above you says so even

[silent summit]

Nope, they mention in the diary that it is planned to start in early may, but they don't have a specific day yet

[inner granite]

+2 weeks for that

[silent summit]

Does anybody know wether you need better specs than for Deep Rock? My pc isn't very good, and I don't think it can handle much more...

[ashen condor]

Has the playtest started, ended, restarted, and finally been banned by international law yet?

[inner granite]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[ashen condor]

I think so? But how much of a difference is not known yet

[wheat pewter]

closed alpha starts in early may they said in the post

[median sleet]

When does the closed alpha start?

[inner granite]

I think yes, as it's on whatever engine DRG +1

[wheat pewter]

oh whoops a bit slow

[silent summit]

Damn, I hope my pc doesn't burst into flames, or start taking off like a jet...

[inner granite]

For god's sake, people, read

[ashen condor]

Why does the closed alpha start?

We'll get philosophical up in here

[inner granite]

I'll do you one better
Who is closed alpha start

[median sleet]

I might be joking

[ashen condor]

Karl

[olive hound]

Rogue Core maybe tomorrow?

watching some streams of Rogue Core is on my bucket list now

[ashen condor]

Doubtful

On the 22ⁿᵈ they estimated two weeks

[compact shard]

Thank you!

[ashen condor]

Looks like they'll be streaming Rogue Core on the 6ᵗʰ

Also a few more times throughout the month

[hollow bear]

Rogue Core yesterday

[olive hound]

I dont really mind not getting in the first batch of testers...
But watching some Rogue Core sounds like a good evening

[native monolith]

Rogue core!!!!! Yeahhh

[native monolith]

I would say this is a sign that may is alpha month

[hollow bear]

May Core

https://tenor.com/view/rock-and-stone-deep-rock-galactic-letsfuckingrockandstone-gif-24988272

[midnight totem]

May the 4th bring forth the force of rouge core

[fresh jetty]

I’m performing ritualistic sacrifices to ensure I get into the alpha

If this fails there are a lot of spirits and deities who owe me big time

[thin apex]

You could say it May or May not

Even if I don't get in I'll be more than happy if I get to listen to the soundtrack

[native monolith]

Damn we knew the bio booster got a visual update but I didn’t expect them to cook this much with it

https://youtu.be/HGcoSeVM5wg

Hammer casters got a in game model now too, that’s cool

And yeah may is confirmed for the first wave now

@tall plume When you get the chance could you pin and post the new devlog

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2605790/view/534349110430400561?l=english

[tall plume]

sure

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2605790/view/534349110430400561?l=english

[native monolith]

Thanks

[native monolith]

Just realized there’s a line about “get in, do objectives, kill boss, get out”

Seems like rogue core runs end with killing a boss 👀

[ashen condor]

Ah, just like normal days at work then

[native monolith]

Average day when management kindly asks for you to kill bus sized aliens “before they become worse”

[brittle crag]

surely this time we will get a flying boss

i mean, we have the rafkan's
imagine a mother spawning a whole load of them, turning the fight into a bullet hell

[native monolith]

We know very little about bosses currently

Our knowledge is that…. They exist

[brittle crag]

obviously
pure speculation

[native monolith]

I would love for the bosses to be from different families

Corespawn boss, shatterclaw boss, rafkan boss

[brittle crag]

imagine needed to hunt an edgestalker in a big room, push it into a 1-way cave, and then blast it before it borrows, repeat

edgestalkers are my favorite i think
i love the praying mantis vibe

enemies based on real creatures are some of the best we have imo

[native monolith]

Edgestalker boss who steals your guns and shoots you with them

I think that would be pretty cool actually, roguelike enemies who use your own abilities are fun to fight

Like scavengers from ror2

[long breach]

oh my, i have to look at that video for the hammer caster gun reload and everything frame by frame because the little details are so fast

[native monolith]

Hammercaster definitely looks fun

[long breach]

the little claw that comes out to grab a new canister

[olive narwhal]

So the existing drg stuff seems to have been updated

[long breach]

and the inspect animation that lifted up the claw, and it popping back into place has it jump a little too

[native monolith]

I really love the way they approach weapon design

[olive narwhal]

I did not see flamer putting down flames atleast in the current build

[native monolith]

They base it on actual gun logic but don’t try and limit themselves around it

[native monolith]

Yeah, I was wondering about that

The most obvious one I saw was the zip line showers sparks when you get on it

And I wonder if this stuff will get ported back or just be rogue core

So far it just seems visual?

[olive narwhal]

Flamer looks different which you could argue a framework but the platform gun looks different to me

[long breach]

-# Oh i have not been playing DRG lately

[native monolith]

The zip line looking cooler has no reason NOT to be in drg, imo

[native monolith]

Same

Been playing other 4 coop games

Just waiting to see if I get into rogue core

[olive narwhal]

Will we get a good inspect animation for platform gun now

[long breach]

its just making me think of that fan made one where they eat the mini platform 😂

[native monolith]

Dwarf eats some of the plascrete

[native monolith]

Yeah that one lol

[olive narwhal]

Cause the new ones we have seen look fun

So im hoping the equipment that had a slight lift(cyro platform) get some love

[native monolith]

The thing that I love about the way they’re approaching this alpha is that, even if I don’t get in, there’s probably just gonna be 4 guys streaming the game in a random vc

Or the devs

Or actual content creators

[olive narwhal]

I will be in stream may 6th

[native monolith]

If I get in, I vow to record all of my gameplay and post it here

[olive narwhal]

Which apparently is a day other games are showing of stuff which is funny

[native monolith]

No way are you corespawn creeper number 9

[olive narwhal]

Wrong corespawn creeper 12

[native monolith]

Dang, I get you two mixed up

Very good actors

[long breach]

yeah they have a bunch of rogue core streams in may on the schedule

[olive narwhal]

4

[native monolith]

I really hope they just don’t mention that they’re playing rogue core and just act like someone must have updated drg

“the glyphids look a little off today”

[olive narwhal]

My flamer is not laying sticky flames today

[native monolith]

“Dang since when can gunner force blast people, must be a new perk someone added”

[olive narwhal]

Certainly a meta perk

[young vessel]

the flying orb

"wow, orb"

[olive narwhal]

Converted tcf to its own weapon the orb launcher

[native monolith]

“Mission Control is awfully silent today”

[long breach]

im sure a least a few people will have not gotten the memo 😂

[ashen condor]

Given how many people have asked if this is a DRG DLC... yeah, shooting fish in a barrel

[native monolith]

Almost certainly, considering I still see people ask “is rogue core a dlc” in streams

[native monolith]

Yup

I would bet 7 umanite someone asks “is playtest live yet” in the next 12 hours

[ashen condor]

I think you mean "Is rouge core a DLC?" :^)

[latent gale]

It was basically a taske being put in the backlog constantly because other things came up, so I wanted to knock that shit out of park. We are thinking it should double as a beer cooler though maybe 🤔

[ashen condor]

Can't we just bring Lloyd (or the RC equivalent) with us? Actually, lets just do both

[native monolith]

You can get an epic upgrade… or a cold one. The choice is yours

Great job with the model though

[latent gale]

Thanks! The art team is definitely cooking up a storm at the moment, get hyped 🤠

[ashen condor]

I'm already hyped for the 6ᵗʰ, I want to see the RC stream

[delicate flax]

How long until someone finds a mistake in the game files where someone misspelled rogue?

[hollow bear]

There's already plenty of typos

[delicate flax]

On the first day of alpha access I will be the rouge exterminator

[delicate flax]

I mean when the game gets released to public

[hollow bear]

They're practically guaranteed

[olive hound]

DRG = Bosco
RC = Rosco(?

[median sleet]

has there been a Rouge Core typo?

[tall plume]

No

[median sleet]

This game obviously isn't made by the DRG devs. The DRG devs would've misspelled it 20% of the time

Where are the real DRG devs?

[solemn ore]

where are they and what have you done with them

[hollow bear]

Not yet, but it's still super early

[astral sluice]

where my Rogue Copers at

I heard it's releasing tomorrow

[compact shard]

Full release tomorrow, trust

GSG figured out time distortion and spent the last week coding in a time bubble to ensure that it would be out the earliest of May

[median karma]

Rogue Core tomorrow

[native monolith]

No longer a joke, just hopium

Assuming every day has an equal chance for the alpha to start, the chance of it releasing tomorrow is 0.032%

[ashen condor]

Pretty sure they're planning on having the alpha start next month. I don't think you have to worry about it taking up to 3125 days

[wheat pewter]

do YOU think you'll get picked for the first closed alpha wave? yes or no only pls

[olive hound]

No

[ashen condor]

Yes. I asked very politely (at gunpoint)

[pulsar owl]

Gotta believe :)

[tame loom]

No. I'm sure there's a ton of requests and I'm just a random guy from the Internet

[mossy ruin]

everyone is a rando for the purpose of this selection

the non-randos already got selected

[inner granite]

I was in first wave for DRS, my lucky strike must keep going

[native monolith]

I’m don’t think, I know

[pearl axle]

My cousins dogs friend works for nintendo, so I get guaranteed access

[native monolith]

That would be an extra 0

If it’s an equal chance it’s just 1 in 31

[pulsar owl]

I'd like to believe that the alpha will begin by the first dev stream

[native monolith]

I think they’re gonna do one stream, then send the wave at the next one

[ashen condor]

That would be a 3.2% chance per day, not 0.032%

[native monolith]

Oh yeah I forgot the percentage

[chrome sundial]

There is zero chance I don't get picked because I will crash out

[vagrant scaffold]

A question just crossed my mind. And I think it's a very obvious question to ask, it's probably been asked before, but for some reason never read it here before myself.

...do we have Mission Control prompts on Rogue Core?

[pulsar owl]

By nature of the phenomenon preventing us from bringing any gear into the core, I'd be inclined to say no, but I also wouldnt be surpised if management loaded voice lines onto Ellis (thank you user below)

[hollow bear]

Ellis

[median sleet]

i think they said mission control is still in the game, but in a lesser capacity

[stark field]

So long as I can mod Greblin in, I'll be happy

[median sleet]

#rogue-core-chat message

[olive hound]

A talking robot companion sounds neat honestly

[thin apex]

Don't make them too obnoxious though

Molly just beeping is good enough

[vagrant mesa]

Nah i want my robot do beep boop

Is the charmest thing they can do

I won't understand them but i will answer to them "yes my boy"

[lethal ore]

I wonder though if we'll get a mention of our 4 miners

[delicate flax]

what use does. atalking robot companion have

[thin apex]

Since there's no communications in the core they could have a pre-recorded voice that tells you some things you have to know

Encountered something odd? Maybe a pre-recorded MC voice line can help to clear things out

[delicate flax]

don't we already have the ping scanner for that

in DRG

with DRG having the miner's manual built in

in DRG, mission control does not exactly tell you things either

[thin apex]

Something more like mission briefings/swarm announcements/describing events (like Kursite, Ebonite and Trytilyte) and other stuff

[delicate flax]

That does make more sense

[inner granite]

Who else is gonna judge me?

[delicate flax]

but also rogue core is a straightforward game and doesn't have a billion events/missions like DRG from what i've seen

[inner granite]

And passive agressive mc mod is solo reason for mc

[inner granite]

-# for now

[thin apex]

It probably will have events as bonus to get stronger and better equipment

Similar to Risk of Rain's special shrines and such

Risk/reward stuff

[gilded rock]

shrine of order

[thin apex]

Wait there's literally that kind of stuff already lol

The Bighorn Ram Hammer shown today

It's a side objective

[thin apex]

YOU HAVE BEEN... SEQUENCED.
35 BISON STEAKS NO FALSE SON

[delicate flax]

I would personally find it way more cool for there to be hints over the walls or in terminals in the events you find

[thin apex]

[delicate flax]

Rather than have a robot tell you exactly what it is and how to use it

Kinda like lore

[thin apex]

I mean its still hinting

[inner granite]

I want nuclear reactor meltldown side mission

Like you push some buttons, kill enemies in X amount of time or reactor shall explode and fail

[young vessel]

what if you started getting tired every 30 minutes and had to build a makeshift bar in the cave and collect beer ingredients mid-mission

[thin apex]

Rival Comms Router but you never hack it

[inner granite]

No, i mean to finish it you have to kill enemies

Not just survive to tell a tale

[thin apex]

Yeah I know

Similarly

[north steeple]

Day 20 of stalking the rogue core discord integration to see if anyone has found Karl yet

[inner granite]

You are slow
You don't know yet?
We all alredy found Karl

He is in... oh no

GSG is comming for me

Remember, Karl is in...!

[north steeple]

and they was never heard from again

[vagrant mesa]

Karl is in our heart

[stray stratus]

oT

[round flare]

rogue core real yet?

[vagrant scaffold]

It's already real.

[daring hill]

Had a crazy fucking rogue core dream last night

And for some reason I gave it a totally different plot

Instead of being at hoxxes you were operatives exploring some big space city ala bioshock

And this was actually like, a secret version of rogue core you could only access if the game bugged out

[vagrant mesa]

I dream about purchasing this game

[daring hill]

Also interesting that I have a rogue core dream, and when I wake up we have news that the alpha starts in the first week of may

And also that they are adding more people through the first test, if I got that right?

[alpine cipher]

Ghostship give me cosmetic dlc carryover for rogue core AND MY LIFE IS YOURS (all dlc cosmetics for drg retroactively applying to drgRC aswell so i can continue buying the sick dlc packs without fear of them being for a game i play less if RC ends up being my main game.)

[native monolith]

no way im up 7 umanite

[native monolith]

.

[desert sinew]

Hey ppl 👋 , any news about the alpha keys?

[gaunt bronze]

Why are people so fixated on DLC carryovers?

[daring hill]

GSG has said within the first week of may on the latest blog post

Please check da pins people

[frigid path]

accidentally dropped them in Molly

[vagrant mesa]

"naw gublesnarks, i think me dropped keys in there!"

[woven rover]

There’s a graphic designer joke here somewhere

[zenith rock]

I need rogue core

[vagrant mesa]

We*

[north steeple]

no, grimm specifically gets rogue core

noone else

[gloomy sinew]

No, no, our need for Rogue Core. ☭

[vagrant mesa]

👍

[cold steeple]

There is nothing more frustrating then buying DLC for a game and having the sequel not carry it over

[steel swan]

it's not a sequel though? more like a spinoff like survivor

[cold steeple]

That’s true, I say sequel because it uses the same engine and general mechanics from Deep Rock.

[north steeple]

isnt it a different engine though?

[old swift]

yes

[gaunt bronze]

Even if it was a sequel, when has DLC carryovers ever been a thing?

It is a separate game

[steel swan]

and also if it was a sequel compensation is only really needed if the original game is shut down since otherwise you still have and can play with the dlc in the first game

[north steeple]

precisely

only game I know of to do that was MW3, and even then it was only blueprints and skins, not really DLC

[cold steeple]

Don’t speak of that game

[north steeple]

Trust me, I dont want to, but a point needs to be made

[daring hill]

man

may 6 feels like its gonna take forever to come, now that we have a date for the first rogue core stream

[ashen condor]

Just invent proper cryogenics and sleep until the stream

Like the rest of us

[north steeple]

Cant, we have a planet to mine

[tall plume]

not happening

[alpine cipher]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7ncHu9EvQik

[pulsar owl]

That's one way to send the disintegrating emoji

[chrome sundial]

When did they say May 6 is going to be rogue core stream?

[pulsar owl]

It's on their stream schedule, you can find it in the April dev diary in channel pins

[chrome sundial]

THAT MEANS ROGUE CORE MONDAY BABY I WAS ONLY 7 DAYS OFF

[tall plume]

[gaunt bronze]

The new dev journal made me very pessimistic, sounds like the chances of getting in is very low

Do we have a rough estimate? Like one out of ten?

[tall plume]

depends on how many people signed up and how many will be picked in each region - which we don't have any info about

[inner granite]

Around one in 10... thousands

[daring hill]

do keep in mind its not a one and done deal. there will be more given access during the first test, and a new round of people for every further test until september, and people likely let in during those further tests.

not getting in also does not mean you won't be able to see the game. devs will be consistently streaming the game, and there's no embargo on content sharing

much better to be able to see raw, natural gameplay than cherrypicked footage

[gaunt bronze]

I certainly hope not but realistically I don’t think it’s gonna be that low

[gaunt bronze]

I’m just being greedy, I want to get in the first wave

[daring hill]

thats fair lol

my own guess is each test will have a max of ~1000 people let in each time, likely less. that may seem like a lot but you're accounting for people who don't care to or can't play it

DRG gets 10k at peak hours, and I doubt all of that 10k are interested in rogue core at all, let alone want to play it this early

anyway, I hope everyone who gets access provides feedback and reports bugs to the best of their ability

this is a privilege after all, its only fair to contribute

[inner granite]

There are thousands of players that want to get in, but very little copies will be given

1/10000 is realistic

[daring hill]

one thing to note: you probably won't get to keep the game once early access hits. they haven't said the contrary but theres no reason to not require buying the game

no clue if it happened for DRG

[inner granite]

Ye, similar to DRS
Alpha for free, but then pay

It's fair

[old swift]

i hope there's a not-this-discord feedback area/platform, feels like it will be very messy fast depending on playtest sizes

and the fact i know a decent chunk of people who are mmm, unable to join here

[inner granite]

I suspect build in feedback system

[gaunt bronze]

1/10000 chance would mean a huge amount of people signed up for the playtest

[inner granite]

DRG players and ones who just happen to see it at iii

[gaunt bronze]

100 keys given out would mean a million signed up

Unless they only give out ten keys, then it might be more possible

[gaunt bronze]

I was thinking maybe a couple hundreds max

[old swift]

both the first teaser and the alpha trailer have the same amount of views on youtube right now, interestingly

448k

[daring hill]

TBH that feels like a huge and unnecessarily dramatic lowball (or highball? not sure the correct term). DRG does NOT have a consistently maintained audience large enough to warrant only 1 person out of 10000 getting access

really feels like overestimating just how many people not only actively play and engage with DRG that want to play Rogue Core at all AND also want to play it this early

also keep in mind, when GSG said "very small number" thats literally at the very start

[gaunt bronze]

I probably contributed 10k views

[daring hill]

they let 50 people in the moment it all starts, they could very well let 300 people in a day or less later

[gaunt bronze]

But all jokes aside, that is almost half a million people. So maybe 1/5000? or lower

[daring hill]

that still feels a bit high

DRG only has that many people playing right now

5000 feels like the total max of people who should have access to the closed alpha

in a "there should only be this many" way, not a "there should BE this many" way

[pliant quarry]

when does rogue core drop

[old swift]

rogue core steam page has 45k followers according to steamdb

[pliant quarry]

imagine being the person to call drg a dead game😂 ✌️

45k just for rogue core

on steam

[old swift]

+10k since march, i somehow don't think >500k people have signed up

[inner granite]

Drg dead game, gsg dead studio, rc p2w

[pliant quarry]

🐺

[gaunt bronze]

I think there will be around 30k who signed up

[minor halo]

I don't know but I hope I get in lol I've been waiting 2 years for this XD

[severe nymph]

Will there still be the grappling hook? I'm assuming each class still gets a terrain tool like in drg and I wonder if some will transfer over

[midnight totem]

we did see some, or atleast the graplinegun of the gunner, so probably yea

[severe nymph]

Sick

I wonder if they plan on making new ones

I wonder how'd that work

Losts of wondering from me tonight

[median sleet]

https://discordapp.com/channels/257785731072786435/1159484202631315506/1364948290881196135 grapple hook is still in

[severe nymph]

Oh that answers literally everything I was thinking

[olive narwhal]

Only stuff restricted to class is the gauntlet ability

[severe nymph]

Thanks yo

[severe nymph]

Noted

[median sleet]

It was out the game for a bit, but seems like they decided to leave it in

[severe nymph]

Is that only so far or is that simply the only set in stone thing each class has?

[olive narwhal]

And maybe some class specific upgrades but i need to probably real look through all the current info

[severe nymph]

Gotchu

[olive narwhal]

Rest of the info we have are in pins

[severe nymph]

Imagining any other drg class with the hook sou fs funny as hell I hope in rc it's just as fun

[feral geode]

i hope we'll get to see some real melee gameplay

also, i don't believe access to alpha will be random but based at least partially on playtime

[pure vessel]

Don't get your hopes up

[feral geode]

:(

[severe nymph]

:(

Never been more over

[pure vessel]

To clarify we will have melee weaponry and stuff, but it's pickaxe and special ability level, not an entire melee system

[severe nymph]

Sad but fair

Besides a melee centered playstyle in a very shooter of a game would be kinda hard

[feral geode]

yeah definitely understandable

but definitely sad

maybe one day, i'll keep on dreaming

[severe nymph]

I think the desire for a melee class derives from the the urge to smash bug with weapons and such

Who doesnt wanna smack a big ol bug so hard it turns to mush

[feral geode]

yeah

with a lot of gore and alien blood splattering all over the place

i don't think words can express how excited i am

[severe nymph]

The big sword thingy looks very fun

I like the wind up it had definitely seems like a rosk reward type deal

[vague snow]

How many melee skills are there?

[severe nymph]

One kf the gauntlets is a big sword slash and thats about it

The pickaxe is still on ofc

[astral sluice]

is the energy sword just the single charge attack or is there more to the ability?

[inner granite]

for your information, devs can not affect alpha access in otehr way that amout of keys per region

its fully random

[feral geode]

oh damn

[vague snow]

Oh

[severe nymph]

Pretty sure I heard it's on a cooldown

[astral sluice]

yes

I know

is it just the single attack or is there more to it?

[silver lagoon]

Meanwhile, demoknight from tf2: "hold my beer"

[warped edge]

Imo it’s just so hard cause this is a horde shooter hahaha

[daring hill]

God being able to just do demoknight would be sick

A charging ability that's shorter but faster to recharge than dashing would be great

[silver lagoon]

Or, as alternative: using bug mask to backstab them

[solemn ore]

have you use the melee in l4d or l4d2

they do it really well

[vague snow]

Meet the spy

[neat acorn]

Fortress Core

[native monolith]

I think I’m probably going to close the doc at this point

Because we’re not even a week away from the information gates opening, and at that point it’s probably better to just point at the GSG YouTube channel for information lmao

[daring hill]

Could possibly turn it into a wiki? I doubt the actual wiki will see active content inclusion for Rogue Core until early access, so a Google doc would be a simple way to store information

[native monolith]

I’d imagine the wiki team is going to make a .gg on rogue core once it’s out

But a lot of stuff on the doc could just be pasted on

and then edited to removed any theorization

[vagrant scaffold]

But not all of those people are truly interested in playing a work-in-progress, unfinished, understandably buggy game. Perhaps you and me and most people here do understand that we're supposed to provide constructive feedback to help the devs keep shaping up the game, but with how whiny people are on the net, not everyone shares this sentiment. Besides, just clicking a button from your Steam account is way easier than the actual commitment that will be required.

What I mean with this is that the actual potential number of people useful for the playtests doesn't necessarily match the number of applicants.

[hollow bear]

It is under way afaik

[native monolith]

This is a very large problem with large playtests, a decent amount just wont provide feedback

But I’m almost certain there will be enough here

[native monolith]

Good to know

[daring hill]

Think you might have misread what I said, because I agree with you

Rogue Core can't really risk dramatically small numbers like the 1/10000 figure mentioned earlier, because the amount of viable testers is a fraction (not literally) of the people who sign up, and thats a fraction of those interested in rogue core, and THATS a fraction of the people who actively play DRG. With such small numbers, you need a decent amount of testers

I can't easily make an estimate without knowing how big drg's closed alpha was, but this alpha will probably be bigger? Maybe?

If the drg alpha was 250 people, this one will probably be 500??

[vagrant scaffold]

I think it's better to not speculate about specific figures to not get anyone's hopes up.

[native monolith]

I would be almost certain that some people do not care about feedback, but I also would guarantee that they’re gonna be swamped with feedback regardless

[vagrant scaffold]

If you don't provide feedback you should get the boot.

No one's gonna demand you to write a whole Bible, but just a paragraph or two, or filling out a form, or however the developers implement the feedback system.

[native monolith]

Dont worry, GSGs secret leaflover police will take care of any of those non feedback giving tree huggers

[olive narwhal]

I have to assume they will get feedback through other means pickrates of certain upgrades weapons how long a run takes and such

[astral sluice]

roguecopers hard at work

[vagrant scaffold]

That's a given. There's still plenty of information that can't be directly derived from player data and which would be nice that playtesters do share verbally in one way or another.

[hollow bear]

Anyone who says anything bad about Ellis is immediately booted from the test

[olive narwhal]

Of course but also the sample size of players that could write a paragraph or 2 will be alot smaller

[silver lagoon]

Ellis?

Is this a new Molly?

Or am I mistaken

[hollow bear]

Yarp

[olive narwhal]

Written feedback i would assume is still extremely valuable but not to say those that dont give a paragraph or 2 of it wont supply feedback through player data regardless

[daring hill]

I mean, his stories do go on and on. I mean, how do we know Keith is even real?

[gaunt bronze]

Couldn’t agree more

[vagrant scaffold]

"Ever tell you 'bout the time me and my buddy Keith..."

[hollow bear]

Pretty excited to see if we get mods, cuz you know a L4d Ellis one is coming

[daring hill]

Don't think we are allowed to talk about mods in this channel, even if one doesn't
exist for rogue core yet

[hollow bear]

Yeh, not sure since we're nowhere near that yet. Just a little speculation, but I'll ask a mod

[vagrant scaffold]

RC Ellis going with L4D2 Ellis's lines "We are the kings of the world!" or "Oh, we opened up a can of whoop-ass on them!" when you advance between stages.

[vagrant mesa]

"Ellis... E... Ellis! Not now."

[rich river]

we need dwarf fortress 2 as a game where you are dwarves fighting in 2 teams on a map with 2 buildings and a bridge. it will have 9 classes and different mobility and offense weapons

[glad vessel]

Have they sent out the invites to the closed alpha

[astral dome]

NO

[inner granite]

[hollow bear]

[vagrant mesa]

It doesn't exist for people who just came here

Cardinal sins that (in my personal fantasy in my head ) result in the nullification of your application:

• Asking how much longer you'll have to wait to get in
• Misspelling the name of the game

[inner granite]

They are GSG devs in disguse, they are not ready to realse alpha yet, so they ask on alt accounts to give them more weeks to work

It'll be a response to the backlash of adding a robot named Geraldine in season 6

People will be like "hey why Geraldine but no Keith?"

Which is fair criticism tbh

[hollow bear]

[raven wharf]

In its current state, it runs just fine on my RTX 2080 and 5800X3D with most settings maxed at 1440p.

There’s many settings that can be used to increase performance for those with systems near the minimum.

[errant kiln]

[ashen condor]

Any word on when the Rogue Core alpha key death battles will begin? Been practicing so I win my fights and get to play

[misty ravine]

Well today is May 1st so possibly in the next 6 days if the rumors of keys being released in the first week of May are true

Also my laptop's AMD 7000 series graphics processor will supposedly run unreal engine 5 games well so I'm not to worried about performance

[median sleet]

They cancelled the death battles, something about legal issues idk

[ashen condor]

Bah, cowards

[median sleet]

At which difficulty? If there even is a difficulty selector

[north steeple]

My 7900X3D is surprisingly good at rendering objects, so I believe it. I found that out while messing with blender for the first time. Turns out you're supposed to manually swap it to graphics card rendering, for some stupid reason.

[misty ravine]

I have the 7535HS in my laptop, it's for gaming specifically and paired with an RTX 2050 chip but the 2050 crapped out shortly after I got the laptop so I need to get it fixed, but the AMD is still going strong

[north steeple]

...weird that a laptop would go so overboard on its chip for such an underpowered GPU. Was it marketed as a work or gaming laptop?

[misty ravine]

Gaming

[daring hill]

My guess is may 6th to coincide with the stream, though probably earlier in the day to give more time

Or maybe the day earlier

It's definitely before the stream at least

[misty ravine]

Asus tuf line, I'm guessing it has 2 graphics chips as redundancy because it's also marketed as being highly upgradable

[misty ravine]

I wonder how many people signed up

[daring hill]

Less than the amount of people who play DRG, but more than the amount of people who will actually play the alpha

They will also be starting off VERY small and gradually giving more people access through the first test

[north steeple]

Hmmm. Wild. Never heard of a prebuilt commercial computer having 2 graphics chips, but i have also heard weirder

[misty ravine]

If 10% of this server signed up that's still 1700 people

[misty ravine]

Asus markets the tuf line as being higher durability, they probably figured someone might over burden a chip playing a high end game and made sure there was a backup chip

[north steeple]

That makes too much sense for an asus though

But im likely overthinking nothing

[misty ravine]

Perhaps but given the specs I have no doubt it'll run rogue core just fine, even if I have to turn down a few graphics settings

[pulsar owl]

Just gotta believe

[gaunt bronze]

Given the number of people who liked the teaser and trailer, and the amount of people who subscribed to Rogue Core on steam. Around 30k people could have signed up

[misty ravine]

It's a roll of the D100 for all of us then

[fickle dock]

Oh that’s a surprise

I’ll probably be fine tho

[sudden sable]

i went back into the dev stream where they showed the new enemies and you can see in the spawn menu some new families of enemies called "shatterclaw", really excited to see what they come up with

the big flying hammerhead thing was dope

[daring hill]

They seem to have shown off one shatterclaw enemy

In the dev Q&A footage (supercut is in the pins)

If you've played Doom 3 it's basically the spider enemy from that

Small annoyance enemy that looks like its made of bones

[native monolith]

We’ve seen atleast one shatterclaw

Maybe two but it could be a corespawn

The one that is definitely a shatterclaw is terrifying though

Flesh spiders with bony arms

[daring hill]

Arguably more creepy than corespawn

Corespawn is a close analogue to mammals, which is scary

But shatterclaw? These guys are just Bones™️

[native monolith]

I was writing an essay on the side I had to do a triple take to make sure I was seeing that enemy right

Thank you for burning them with fire, whoever the recorder was

My main concern is if that was the swarmer

What’s the slammer

[daring hill]

whats more worrying to me is that the swarmers seem to be explicitly collected within a tank

like why are you doing that

and we're intentionally letting them out?

[native monolith]

That gives me an idea

Shatterclaw enemy that, upon death, explodes into a shrapnel blast of swarmers

[misty ravine]

Are core spawn and glyphids natural enemies?

[native monolith]

Glyphids do not make an appearance in rogue core

Entirely new enemy palette

[misty ravine]

I'm not talking game wise, I mean lore wise

[gaunt bronze]

Were those confirmed to be shatterclaws?

[severe nymph]

Hi chat

[sudden sable]

ive never seen the shatterclaw, where did they show it?

[gaunt bronze]

There are no in game lores on that, but I suppose yes. Just look at the diversities of behaviors and morphology on both sides, there’s no reason for either of them to evolve that diversity alone. It’s evolutionary arms race

[gaunt bronze]

Replying to this

[sudden sable]

nvm found it

[native monolith]

Yesnt

I asked about them in a stream once and was told “they are not quadrupedal and they’re quite scary”

They sure do check those boxes

[gaunt bronze]

They’re apparently not corespawns

But could they be boomticks?

[sudden sable]

theres something called "shatterclaw swarmer" under basic enemies so im like 90% sure thats those spider things

[daring hill]

#rogue-core-chat message

[native monolith]

I severely doubt they aren’t shatterclaw swarmers

[gaunt bronze]

My first instinct when I saw them was that they looked like facehuggers from Aliens. They definitely have an arthropod-like feel to them, and the glowing blobs they drag behind look like they could explode. I think there’s a pretty big chance they are the Shatterclaw, but it’s also very possible they could be a disruptive enemy called the “Krizzok Boomtick.”

I do think it’s more possible that they’re shatterclaws tho

[daring hill]

tbh when i think krizzok boomtick i think an actual tick

[sudden sable]

krizzok just off of name alone sounds like it's gonna be a bigger bulkier enemy, especially "boomstick"

[daring hill]

i reckon its the rogue core equivalent for the exploder

the small ones i mean

[gaunt bronze]

I hope they could come up with more unique designs for the new enemies, not just counterparts of those in DRG

[sudden sable]

the rafkans are a good start, already my favorite enemies

edgestalkers too

[round flare]

Rogue core real?

[zinc totem]

[gaunt ingot]

idk true art or smth

[midnight totem]

oh no, the timestream! what about my minerals? where do they go if you steal them before I get the chance to mine them, while I already have them??

[pulsar owl]

Double or nothing, quite a worthwhile gamble when we consider the mineral economy

[royal sparrow]

[astral sluice]

coming in early access fall 2025, closed alpha early may (signup on steam)

[royal sparrow]

Thx

[tribal jay]

Any exact date known for alpha?

[gilded rock]

sometime this month, no exact release date yet

"We’re aiming for the start of May, [...] Exactly which day, though, remains to be seen."

[astral sluice]

oh my god

I thought I'd answer for once...

[vagrant mesa]

And you never did

[astral sluice]

I did but it's never enough

god forbid people look something up themselves

[vagrant mesa]

-# "what's up stairs?"

"They can't talk!"

[young vessel]

a common event, unfortunately

[stoic thicket]

Yo when do we rock

[young vessel]

silas when will the core become fully rogue and leave us unable to operate on hoxxes?

[astral sluice]

tomorrow

my sources say it's tomorrow

[stoic thicket]

Huge

[astral sluice]

actually, small

They're only letting in 5 people, according to my sources

[pulsar owl]

the reclaimers

[glass pelican]

is rouge core going to be in drg or a new game

What is Rouge Core? Is it a new game or a DLC? How is it different from DRG? When is alpha and when do the keys drop?

[raven wharf]

#rogue-core-chat message

[visual latch]

Alpha keys today fr no cap?

(I'm sorry)

[gaunt bronze]

I was joking

[astral dome]

What if the real rogue core alpha keys were the friends we made along the way

[slim mason]

this may be our rouge core

[north steeple]

Day 22 of being harrassed by glyphid and terminid stalkers simultaneously

[ashen condor]

I tried that and you can't stuff friends into the game key input on Steam

[astral dome]

Nooooo

[rancid minnow]

PLEEAASEE
I NEEEEED ITTTTT

[astral dome]

I'm addicted to rogue core even though it hasn't come out yet

[hollow bear]

same

[daring hill]

I'm simply playing rogue core in my mind

Its being beamed directly into it by GSG

[sacred roost]

Schizo

[vague orchid]

the new gun teased in the april dev diary looks so epic

a handheld 48mm rifle

its so chunky and clunky

[gaunt bronze]

58mm iirc

[north steeple]

wait, like a .50 beowulf but shorter and thicker, or like the pocket .50BMG that I-forget-who made

[misty ravine]

The 50 BMG handgun?

[north steeple]

yeah someone made a bolt action .50 BMG "pistol"

[solemn ore]

The whizzbanger?

[north steeple]

no, the ULR mini. It comes with a wire stock (that would honestly mess you up worse than the glyphids) but most people choose to take it off and slap either a vertical grip or chainsaw grip on the front and call it a day

[solemn ore]

Ok

[worn wave]

Literally just had a dream that drg had a new gamemode.

[solemn ore]

A real gun then

[lethal ore]

-# "road works ahead"

"Yeah I sure hope it does"

[brittle crag]

I hope we will already have an enemy manual with some lore in the alpha

[inner granite]

Manual: we know same as you, good luck fighting it

-# something like Jester from LC: must figure it out yourself

[hollow bear]

Miner's manual should be making a return

[errant kiln]

me want lore

all the lore

[neat acorn]

reclaimers manual*

[bold hawk]

Diggers Manual*

[inner granite]

rouge manual

[vagrant mesa]

Sosig

[gaunt bronze]

Dwarves Manual

[rancid minnow]

one day closer to rogue core

[chrome sundial]

My mentality rn

[desert sinew]

Hey ppl 👋 , any news about the alpha keys?

[tall plume]

no

[desert sinew]

T_T

[tall plume]

trust me, you'll know when we get those because there will likely be an announcement on RC store page, the forum, the subreddit, the discord and it will be pinned in here

[chrome sundial]

also this chat will be going insane

[visual latch]

So far we are very hinged and reasonable

[hollow bear]

+1 day

[errant kiln]

I will fly to europe and break into the offices for a scrap of rogue core

[median sleet]

but will they send me a personalized postcard?

[native monolith]

Making a red velvet cake, hopefully the rouge-ness will summon rogue core

[tall plume]

[chrome sundial]

Trust guys I clicked it and got 50$

[tall plume]

[inner granite]

Pounce is going insane

Quick, pour some beer... i mean medicine for him

[steel swan]

Is rogue core not out?

[inner granite]

Is rogue core in?

[steel swan]

Is obedient crust in?

[wintry latch]

does blue core exist

[steel swan]

yes

[wintry latch]

violet intermediary?

[silver lagoon]

Is rogue core?

[grand sail]

How exactly do we know the Core is Rouge?

[inner granite]

It hasn't paid taxes

[grand sail]

Ah

[gaunt bronze]

Is the core rogue, rouge, or both?

[glad vessel]

is rouge is core is nice!!!!

[slim mason]

everyone asks when is rogue core, but no one asks how is rogue core or why is rogue core

[lofty heart]

Rouge core when

[visual latch]

Therapy for the core

[grand sail]

Maybe it won't be so rouge if we give it therapy!

[vagrant mesa]

Rogue coar

[astral sluice]

roge coure just dropped

[slim mason]

you aren't funny

😠

[scenic night]

How similar is rogue core gonna be to drg?

[vagrant mesa]

Well, it's about dwarves

Mining

More dwarves

Caves

[slate glen]

Ok yeah but is Rouge core out yet?

[amber tide]

Is Rascal Nucleus out yet? 💔

[north steeple]

the rouge core is rogue

[visual latch]

How about that alpha for Rebellious Center

[daring hill]

I see you all are going insane waiting for the stream on the 6th

[ashen condor]

All Deep Rock Galactic and no Rogue Core makes Mcsticken a dull dwarf

[pulsar owl]

If you wanna go insane, you've gotta outsane the sane

[fluid temple]

I'm going to hope this hasn't been asked here yet
if i get access to the closed alpha, does my steam family also get access to it through game share 🧐

[ashen condor]

I believe the answer was no

[fluid temple]

wait that's been asked? damn everyone here is rabid for the roog huh

[ashen condor]

There's a search function if you want to double check

[fluid temple]

the only reason i haven't is that it sucks on mobile

[ashen condor]

Worka fine for me

[daring hill]

I woke up and steam sent me ANOTHER email for community rewards

stop teasing me damn you

even starts it with "CONGRATULATIONS: You've Received"

[rancid minnow]

how about now

[native monolith]

oh great rogue core devs, i present a rouge offering

[rancid minnow]

looks delicious

[daring hill]

i have that one clip of jesse and walter high fiving on standby, because surely I will be getting access at the very start

:clueless:

[native monolith]

"this... this is art mr white"

"no jesse its just open development"

[daring hill]

anyway I still wonder if the start will be before the stream on tuesday. it's getting real close but i feel they'd want to start the alpha proper first before showing off the game live

feels like a smart "soft" deadline to. not the end of the world if its not ready by that date, but its also good to set some date

[native monolith]

I think it’s not possible until the stream

There’s a chance for it to be with or after the stream

Or an announcement for it

[daring hill]

eh, day-of is too tight

[native monolith]

Rogue core could exist at any moment, really

[daring hill]

they'd need some time to emergency-squash bugs

hey, out of nowhere question: when exactly did rogue core start development? has it been said?

it was definitely before or during season 4's development but thats a decent amount of time

[native monolith]

I… don’t know actually

Don’t think we have any idea what the time period of silent development was

[tall plume]

somewhere in 2023 IIRC

[daring hill]

my guess is during season 4 as brainstorming for season 5

or during season 3

[pulsar owl]

2023 isn't that long tbh

Very productive for sure

[daring hill]

yeah

about the same time it took for DRG to hit early access

2016 to 2018

well technically it started earlier with project dwarka but shh

[gaunt bronze]

They might have wanted to make a new game mode for S5 and ended up developing rogue core

I remember they had announced a theme and a name for S5 then postponed it

[pulsar owl]

This is probably for the best

[tall plume]

that's something they were planning to do for S4 IIRC before it grew in size and out of their expectations. it's been covered pretty well during the first announcement and you can find those info in the oldest pinned messages in this channel, if you're curious

[daring hill]

you are misremembering, Season 5 was always going to be involved with rogue core. It was postponed after rogue core was revealed. We didn't even have a name until a month before the season dropped, actually.

its not clear if rogue core, when it was a gamemode, was a season thing or not. i dont actually think thats been said?

[tall plume]

IIRC, it was supposed to be an expansion, basically

[daring hill]

it being for season 4 would be strange unless at that point they only had the bare minimum of "roguelike gamemode", and said gamemode would be rockpox themed?

[ashen condor]

Wait... all this talk is making me think Rogue Core might not be a cosmetic item DLC for DRG. Is this actually season 12?

[quaint dove]

I canno tell if this is a joke?

In case it isn't, Rogue COre is an entirely different game.

[ashen condor]

I thought calling it season 12 might be a giveaway, but I'll make it even more obvious next time

[quaint dove]

No no. It did seem like a joke. But it hurts no one to assume it isn't in case someone is actually confused.

[solemn ore]

Rogue core came out in 4 AD. Feel old yet?

[karmic pulsar]

yall think the reclaimers will be more serious or just as silly as the miners

[tall plume]

they're more serious

[karmic pulsar]

i guess that makes sense since they're elites

[daring hill]

im still curious what the mission control equivalent will be. or planned to be, if not currently implemented

[karmic pulsar]

would be funny if they talked about how unserious the miners are

[daring hill]

mission control didn't fully exist in DRG's own closed alpha after all

or maybe there never will be one

[median sleet]

I think they switched over to more rockpox stuff after they realized they would have to make a new game for Rogue Core

[midnight totem]

Scrumptious

[midnight totem]

The reclaimers actually should be more unserious, because of the insanity inflicted by the rougeness of the core

[sturdy helm]

i really hope the grappling gun or an item similar is in this game
