rogue-core-chat

[olive hound]

Hmm...

[native monolith]

Yup!

Characters are fun now

[mossy ruin]

the dlc is actually worth the price now
however, trimping and pot rolling is dead

[olive hound]

Ah, close enough i guess

[inner granite]

i'll invite myself

[native monolith]

SOTS is better than SOTV at this point imo

[olive hound]

I will take a look into it.

[median sleet]

I wish SOTS added void items if you own both DLC

[native monolith]

Trimping isn’t

[thin apex]

So fucking true

[native monolith]

It’s just way more demanding of movement

Pot rolling is cooked though

[thin apex]

They absolutely cooked with the 3 major patches

[native monolith]

They “fixed” it but it’s a giant pot so it being buggy was what made it feasible and fun

[mossy ruin]

this should have been the state of the dlc on release, so I am reserved about giving much praise

[thin apex]

I blame gearbox for rushing the dlc release tbh

[olive hound]

Ye

[native monolith]

They should have, but I don’t think it was there fault

[thin apex]

The ror devs did at least a decent job and turning the tide with the DLC's quality

[native monolith]

There’s some reallllly suspicious things that seem to show that they got a forced date

[crystal echo]

what the hell are you guys talking bout? What game?

[mossy ruin]

just a little derail about a different roguelite

[native monolith]

Like the teaser stuff? Literally all of it is just entirely missing

[mossy ruin]

ror2

[fringe narwhal]

Where is my core of rogueness

[thin apex]

Surprisingly though, the stages barely got any changes through the patches, that's at least something good they did

[native monolith]

And they just randomly dropped a trailer and a release date one day

[olive hound]

Did you get access to the beta my friend?

[mossy ruin]

no, I didn't apply

[crystal echo]

oh risk of rain lol haha

But any tips we should play guys while waiting for the invite for rc?

[mossy ruin]

I however, consume information about RC at a rapid rate

[olive hound]

Any reason in particular?

[mossy ruin]

university mainly, and I would like to actually be of use if I were to apply
so I thought it would be counterproductive for me to apply

I will play the early access though

[native monolith]

Fair reason. Not a huge fan of when people apply to just play

[olive hound]

I for sure will be playing that too.

[native monolith]

I can’t really disagree with them, but it’s an alpha for a reason

[olive hound]

Ah well, you know some of them did.

[native monolith]

Almost certainly

[olive hound]

I am happy RC is a reality at least.

[winter prawn]

If you get a key is it via email or steam notification

[mossy ruin]

and it looks promising, at least for me

[native monolith]

Indeed

Already looks good

I do hope they focus on making more crazy upgrades, though

[olive hound]

Ah yes, upgrades upgrades upgrades

[native monolith]

I think no matter the point of a roguelike that’s the highlight

[olive hound]

Can't have enough of those

[native monolith]

Eh

[crystal echo]

Guys maybe a weird statement, but what if we all friend up here, so the next alpha invite round we can invite other here?

[native monolith]

You can definitely have too many upgrades

[mossy ruin]

at one point you run into the problem of bloat

[native monolith]

You have to be friends for 30 days on steam

[astral sluice]

I haven't watched a lot but the gameplay loop looks kind of boring at this point imo 😕

[crystal echo]

yeah so if we now friend up 🙂 we can invite more peeps if we get in the coming month

[olive hound]

It depends of what kind of upgrades you get

[mossy ruin]

I think it's reasonable to assume the next wave will be after a month

[native monolith]

Just make sure you get all your random steam friends who have any time in DRG to sign up

[olive hound]

+1% to gun damage is lame

[native monolith]

It depends; I think ror2 and Isaac have the best type of upgrades

[mossy ruin]

what I mean is, if there's too many upgrades not synergising with other upgrades, then you might have a problem getting a coherent build

[native monolith]

From what I’ve seen rogue core has some neat ones, but nothing that really breaks out of stats or applied effects

I believe that they’ll do more wacky ones, it’s an alpha after all, I just hope they start sooner than later

[vocal jewel]

yeah ive found it hard to get real synergies going right now outside of "thing that gives crit chance" + "thing that activates on crits"

[native monolith]

Getting tons of movement but the effect being reduced by equipment is cool but I’m not having a seizure warning and dropping to 3 frames because I clicked on an enemy one time

Obviously that usually requires looping features but point stands

[fallow grove]

We should add each other in steam so when comes more keys we start a invite chain

[native monolith]

Communist key commune

[fallow grove]

/\

[fringe narwhal]

Keymmunist

[native monolith]

If they end up with more than 1 invite per key, then yeah I’m down

May as well

[mossy ruin]

• "that thing which recharges shield and works off of shield"

[crystal echo]

This is my steamfriend id: 9472490

add me if you want, so we can get this key train going 🙂

[inner granite]

must be fren for 30 days

[crystal echo]

yeah so for next key round then mate 🙂

next drop will be in probably 2/4 weeks, so then we all have more chance to get in haha

They even might do a +2 or 4 by then to invite more peeps in maybe

[feral palm]

Praying I get in next time

[crystal echo]

we can just make a big steam group with all guys here 🙂

[feral palm]

I love roguelikes and drg

[raven wharf]

Too late, zip cheese works wonders when waiting on the elevator. Saves ammo too!

[feral palm]

Zip cheesing 🛏️

[tall plume]

technically you can complete the game without needing to shoot anything except the boss (for now, that is)

[vagrant scaffold]

Can you zip out of a moving elevator just like with the DRG orbit bound drop pods?

[olive hound]

Core spawn mimic elevator

[feral palm]

Just like in drg!!

[olive hound]

Or ammo drop mimic

[median oar]

also for yall wondering about the gameplay loop (I got the alpha) if you think drg is a fun gameplay loop, you will like the rogue core loop probably

[tall plume]

you don't even need the zip for it

just walk out

[crystal echo]

Ive made a steam group guys, all get in 🙂

https://steamcommunity.com/groups/DRG-RC

[vagrant scaffold]

It does seem like pretty much the same game, or rather, a different game mode from the same game. (Like e.g: Campaign vs. Versus on L4D2.)

[feral palm]

I feel like from all the gameplay I've seen, ziplines are actually goated

Mostly because grappling hook seems quite rare (or nonexistant)

[rich river]

zipline gun and c4 build gonna be crazy

i'm starting to wonder if every space rig is the same or totally different

[vagrant scaffold]

I'll join in a bit. I find the idea pretty useful, arranging to trade keys with a group of people who's not my main group of friends to avoid accusations of favoritism later.

[median oar]

the caves are really not that vertical, only in some tiny parts, and in my little time playing I really didn’t see a use for them other than a shared grappling hook

but cave gen will probably change

[feral palm]

Zips aren't great in extremely vertical caves

[vagrant scaffold]

Wouldn't this also be an effect of lower difficulty levels? Since the difficulty isn't yet quite fleshed out and in DRG low haz ziplines do trivialize swarms.

[feral palm]

Fair

🐟

There seems to be a lack of ranged or flying enemies in lower difficulties

Unless you get a modifier

[median oar]

there are modifiers?

[feral palm]

Yeah every stage puts a permanent modifier on top of an upgrade

[median oar]

oh wait yeah

I remember

oh it goes for the entire run?

[feral palm]

Yea

[median oar]

interesting

why is bosco changed to cooper

who the hell is cooper

[feral palm]

It's my goat cooper

[median oar]

wacky little fella

[feral palm]

Yesh

[median oar]

I love the dystrum emoji

so cool

[fallow grove]

Sheldon

[vagrant scaffold]

Duck and Cover in Rogue Core.

[rich river]

i bet sheldon is a scout main

[feral palm]

Bring dystrum to rogue core

[median oar]

YES

[rich river]

dystrum sandwiches

[fallow grove]

Or gunner

[feral palm]

Maybe not that much, but a little bit more ranged goons would help

[feral palm]

Engineer

[fallow grove]

Nah

[feral palm]

Cause he's a nerd

[fallow grove]

He hates engineers

[feral palm]

And engineer is a nerd class

[median oar]

no driller love 💔

[rich river]

scout is very flexible and versatile and has a lot of strategies for a nerd

[feral palm]

So does engi

[median oar]

Sheldon is everything other than driller

[native monolith]

Engineer reminds me a lot more of tf2 engineer than a real world engineer

[rich river]

turret must be inspired by tf2

[fallow grove]

Facts

[native monolith]

It’s the class of engineers where they’re still brutal war criminals but they enjoy pursuing it through more advanced methods

And I don’t call war criminals “nerds” usually

[fallow grove]

Sheldon doesnt like egineers and geologists

[rich river]

i mean driller can be a certified geologist.

he drills.

[fallow grove]

Yea

[median oar]

don’t geologists use little brushes to remove the dirt idk

[rich river]

gunner feels quite heavy

[native monolith]

Driller probably is a sophisticated geologist but he needs to pay off his student debt loans so he joined DRG corp for a summer

[median oar]

man I’m tired

[fallow grove]

Those are the guys who study dinossaurs

[rich river]

i think you're thinking of archaeologists that study old stuff with the brushes

[median oar]

bye discord of deep rock galactic game

[rich river]

i hope we will get a bosco in rogue core

i hate him but he's cute

[hollow bear]

We get Cooper instead

[median sleet]

They need to be friends with you for 30 days, and it's also broken for a lot of people

[novel urchin]

so sad

I hope it gets fixed

[vagrant scaffold]

I wish more servers didn't ban the word "goon" because they don't even know it's a synonym for "henchmen". Based mods.

[rich river]

wait is rogue core available by invites

[weary quail]

Is rogue core the vampire survivor like game?

[median oar]

does anyone know how long the first alpha will be like available for?

[median sleet]

People who got access can invite one friend

[vagrant scaffold]

No, that's DRG Survivor.

And it's very fun too.

[median oar]

roguecore is a dwarf dating sim

trust me

[vagrant scaffold]

You can spot influences from Survivor in RC.

[olive hound]

Most DRG: Survivor voice lines are in RC

[vagrant scaffold]

"Ooh! I rarely go for this one!"

DRG:S has so many great lines.

"Over-clock! My favorite time of the day!"

[feral palm]

Goon is not a freaky word and I'm not using it as such

Grrr

[errant kiln]

Goober

[compact shard]

I'm a goofy goober

[olive hound]

"This one is perfect for my build"

[thin spire]

I missed the stream 💔

[fringe narwhal]

"Oi, the boss needs sum more goons!"

[thin spire]

What's a highlight from the stream in terms of something to expect in the game when it releases.

[fervent citrus]

We have a BOSCO, his name is Cooper

[finite laurel]

Not much, what you see with the closed alpha is what you get, they’ll do more waves of test invites over time but nobody knows when, early access is still planned for Q4

[thin spire]

I thought that was the name of Falconeer's bird.

[finite laurel]

Does Cooper currently act any differently than Bosco? From what I’ve seen he seems the same but I wonder if it’ll be a totally different drone later

[compact shard]

Her name is Sarah

[fervent citrus]

For now I can't discern any difference

[thin spire]

I haven't seen what Cooper or Elice (I think that's how it is spelled) can do.

[finite laurel]

Has anyone seen gameplay of the hammer rifle yet? I still haven’t been able to see it in action but it’s supposedly in the current alpha

[hollow bear]

It is in the alpha

[compact shard]

Ellis is like the mule, he collects expinite and produces upgrades. Cooper, at the moment, is just like Bosco

[compact shard]

I'm pretty sure the camera guy from yesterday's dev stream was using it. It looks really good

[thin spire]

I don't even know what they look like...

[finite laurel]

That was the mag blaster

They showed the hammer rifle in the April email

[compact shard]

You haven't like, watched the trailers or streams or anything?

[vital shale]

How do i play closed alpha

[compact shard]

Ellis is the huge green drone

[compact shard]

You can't, unless you were invited yesterday

[finite laurel]

You sign up on Steam and hope you get in next time they do a round of invites

[vital shale]

Oh

How many people get it

[finite laurel]

Not a whole lot

[thin spire]

I saw the trailers but I remember Ellis being a floating drone, I haven't seen Cooper yet.

[sturdy blade]

From what I've gathered, there will definately be at least 1 more round of invites before alpha closes

[compact shard]

He's just Bosco with the military framework

[finite laurel]

But they’ll invite more people over time and in Q4 this year there’ll be early access

[sturdy blade]

Cooper is bosco, but for the Reclaimers, because the reclaimers aren't Miners

[compact shard]

They plan to do a handful, I estimate about four rounds

[feral tulip]

Is there a rogue core specific LFG channel or are people using the standard lfg channels?

[compact shard]

Also because Bosco is a nickname, and not the acronym

[hollow bear]

https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/1366347563845947453

[compact shard]

What he said

[sturdy blade]

Actually just had a W idea, Legendary Weapon variants should have Yellow / Red Overclocks sometimes (Unless it does)

[compact shard]

Bosco and Cooper are both A.P.D. units

[feral tulip]

Hit with a #no access. How do I gain access sorry.

[compact shard]

Link in the early access build

[hollow bear]

When you launch the game there's the splash screen with the video, up top there's a button

[feral tulip]

Roger. Ty.

[noble peak]

I wouldn't be suprised if Cooper was short for something like "Co-operative all purpose drone"

[feral tulip]

I must have been too dazzled by the intro video to notice.

[hollow bear]

Understandable

[compact shard]

This is a cool idea.

[hollow bear]

Mikkel is a hunky boy

[compact shard]

I'd be interested to see over clocks as a risk vector too

[sturdy blade]

Overclocks as a risk vector would actually be way better

[compact shard]

Like a special upgrade bench that over clocks one of your weapons

[sturdy blade]

Even more W idea

[compact shard]

B)

[sturdy blade]

Get a choice of 3 random OCs

The only problem is new weapons

[compact shard]

Yeah, but the weapons are currently built to be modifiable, the over clocks could just end up being significant stat changes and not necessarily mechanical changes, and I'd be happy

Like how micro flechettes, compact feed mechanism, and pump action work

[sturdy blade]

Interesting, that's true

[crystal echo]

https://steamcommunity.com/groups/DRG-RC Reminder to join the steam group so we can friend up for the possible next test and invite wave guys 🙂

[sturdy blade]

Tho I'm sure the devs aren't the type to leave it that way forever

[sturdy blade]

TRUE!

[compact shard]

Ngl, I probably won't join the group unless me or a close friend gets in. No offense to you lovely people, but we're a very tight knit group, and it would be weird for one of us to have the game and not the other

[little hound]

Rogue Core feedback: Let. Me. INNNN!!!

[ember viper]

i NEED to rouge my core

[thin spire]

I'm hoping there is an equivalent to "We're rich!" and "Mushroom."

[finite laurel]

That’s not the reclaimer’s style

Honestly I’m looking forward to escaping the memes

At least a little, of course stuff will come in eventually when the game is public and all that

[sturdy blade]

Rogue Core seems like a more serious evironment compared to the base game

And it's a welcome one because if we want silliness, we can always play the base game

[mossy ruin]

it was confirmed on stream it's possible to piss off omega

[tight cargo]

ok the game is safe

for now

drg wouldnt be the same without being able to piss of mission control

[native monolith]

I hope the reclaimers make jokes about hiding the evidence

deposits camera

“Heard there’s an osha inspection next week, we’re really dodging a bullet here”

[tight cargo]

sadly the camera got lost during the mission

[vagrant scaffold]

Omega must sound even more evil.

[sturdy blade]

Love that that implies OSHA extends universally among planets and corporations

[haughty flicker]

hi, how do i report bugs here in the discord?

oh nevermind i scrolled

[finite laurel]

We’ll see how things play out, I just hope the tone stays more consistent in Rogue Core overall

The thing I miss from DRGs beta was its darker tone (got mellowed out by meme voice lines and silly cosmetics), Rogue Core is perfect for that

[sturdy blade]

Especially since the Reclaimers are painted as the Elite Team compared to the Miners who are capable, but kinda stupid

On top of that you can consider that the Reclaimers have training with every single type of weapon/equipment and aren't as specialized as the miners.

[crystal echo]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6Q3fDIkb2Cc hahaha

[inner granite]

accurate

[native monolith]

We seem to be going there

[wary notch]

Mushroom

[crystal atlas]

So what exactly is Rogue Core? Is it like a whole separate game or an addon to DRG?

[native monolith]

It’s hard to disassociate Javier’s voice = silly but stuff like the bulk detonator experimentation is a good start

And corespawn in general

[finite laurel]

Check the pins

[native monolith]

I’m glad even the devs are memeing on it

[crystal atlas]

Where?

[finite laurel]

Pinned messages in this channel

[native monolith]

Unite, fellow proletarians! We must work together and distribute the keys equally to all acquire alpha status!

With enough communes, we can double the amount of entries

[alpine crane]

can you still get invited by a friend who has gotten into the playtest?

[thorny patio]

yes

[alpine crane]

he invited me yesterday and i have not gotten in is steam's fault or something else?

[rocky sequoia]

The Rouge Core playtest is actually unplayable, the juke box dont work

[timber prairie]

is there an in universe reason given the Reclaimers aren't using the shields from normal DRG?

[rocky sequoia]

I think its because you need to pay 2 credits to use but credits dont exist in Rouge Core

[rocky sequoia]

If i had to guess its probably the whole thing of not being able to take any technology down with them in the same way they have to salvage weapons and equipment

[timber prairie]

it seems tech functions well down there. like REPD/Ellis
could be its like the shield disruption modifier. just always like that down there

[inner granite]

man, thats shitty economy

[wheat yarrow]

resupply pods say armor, so it could just not be shield tech at all

[timber prairie]

I already think that. was asking if theres a reason they arent using shield tech. like they prefer the armor or shield tech does not work properly down there

[weary quail]

What is rogue core?

[serene sapphire]

thats not true, look on the left speaker next to the jukebox. you can pickup 2 credits

[void turtle]

star wars

[inner granite]

datiting simulator

[noble bramble]

I’m gonna date mission control

[rough spear]

Has anybody successfuly accepted a +1 invite from a friend, and can tell me how it works once it's been sent? I sent my friend a +1 and they haven't been able to get in the game. We just want to get in game so we can date Ellis and The Ramrod :(((

[gritty raptor]

Doesn’t work for everyone atm

[rough spear]

noooo Thanks homie

[gritty raptor]

From what I’ve heard if you got your invite from the newsletter it doesn’t work and if you got the invite through steam it works fine

[gritty raptor]

Hey at least you can play the game 😂

[rough spear]

Yeah, just bummed that I psyched my friend up saying I was sending them my +1 on steam.

[median sleet]

have them check https://store.steampowered.com/account/playtestinvites

[rough spear]

Thanks, I'll pass that along

[tidal sorrel]

anyone ready for a mission?

[olive hound]

YES! 👈 doesn't have access to the beta

[vagrant scaffold]

LMAO I just checked this link and found out I was invited to the Deadlock playtest. Steam never notified me of it, I think.

[rich river]

well if it has missions it's good already

[celest lark]

I am very friendly! if any of you want to +1 friend me with an access invite I would accept and bring cookies to the gaming session!

[gritty raptor]

Pretty sure you have to have been friends with the person for 30+ days minimum

[celest lark]

but.. but...

[unreal kiln]

Dang, I was hoping to come to this chat to find a solution, but I'm saddened that the newletter invite keys doesn't come with the +1 invite (at least not yet)

Maybe the devs would consider sending a follow up key to those that they've already sent an invite to, and we could send that key to a friend.

[rocky sequoia]

hell yeah

[wintry roost]

hello guys how we can play at rogue core now ?

[worn wind]

You need a key unfortunately

[wintry roost]

where i can find one

[vagrant scaffold]

In your heart.

[worn wind]

Hoping for a second wave of keys to be sent out, if you signed up you may be already invited

Check steam

[wintry roost]

ok !

[worn wind]

In the meantime its the boardgame for me

[wintry roost]

singed up where ?

[worn wind]

In steam, clicking request access

On the rogue core page

[wintry roost]

ty

[static sage]

speaking of, have they said when they will be sending the next set of keys?

[worn wind]

Nope, not that I know of :(

[static sage]

ahh rip, im gonna just hope its not like a month or something like that, given i am going away for a month so might be better haha

[worn wind]

I get back from this miserable trip I’m on in 2 days and naturally I’m hoping its sometime around then

[static sage]

i leave for 3 weeks in a week

[worn wind]

Ooof, my friend is going away for a few weeks when I get back and its looking like we may be unable to play it together

[pulsar owl]

Can weapon/equipment/sentinels POIs be found randomly in any floor? Or can they only be found through the risk vectors

[static sage]

what a time for them to release keys aye we all going away

[worn wind]

Feels like it always happens LOL, last time I was away for a while a game I been waiting for decided to drop early, it then died before I got back since it was more of a thing to experience 🫠

[static sage]

mega rip, never been anywhere yet so this is my first time

[worn wind]

I hope you have a fun trip though!

[native monolith]

I’m guessing it’ll be next month at the earliest

Unless this was a “crash test” and they’re gonna invite significantly more after a quick crash/bug fix

[static sage]

if it really is each month thats harsh, that means the first set of testers has a month of gameplay before the second set even can start

[native monolith]

I heard the number 200 thrown out, which seems a little low so it seems likely

But idk if that’s actually how many keys went out

[static sage]

i cant remember, does progress get whiped after closed alpha finishes?

[native monolith]

Likely for the crash test I mean

[worn wind]

Gonna be coping hard and saying that this is what it was, any minute now and the next wave comes 👍

[finite laurel]

The game won't be available 24/7, tests will close down from time to time

[static sage]

ohh yeah true

[finite laurel]

But apparently those who get to be a tester doesn't lose that in the next round

[native monolith]

Yeah

[finite laurel]

So if you have access now you'll keep it until early access starts in Q4 (assuming everything goes as planned)

[native monolith]

That’s the main reason I’m hoping to in early

[static sage]

damn little harsh

[native monolith]

Don’t have to worry about playtesting times you can just go test some rogue core

[worn wind]

I do like getting to invite a friend, was scared me and my friend wouldnt be able to get in together

[static sage]

sadge i didnt get in tho, would be streaming it constantly and testing everything i could test

[static sage]

sadly none of my mates got invited haha

[finite laurel]

The chances of getting in are never 100% but they'll get higher and higher as we get on, IIRC one of the devs mentioned that playtests will get bigger

But take that with a grain of salt ofc I don't remember the exact source

[upper nest]

I got in
Time to rogue my core

[deep agate]

i made a friend in game

[finite laurel]

I find it interesting that right now biome gimmicks from DRG do not carry over into RC, so far it looks like the biome is purely visual

[calm yoke]

If a sprint takes 1 month, some team leader needs to be fired.

[median sleet]

mikes magic hole is in

[worn wind]

Nor did mine 🥲

[static sage]

rip

[grave cradle]

Hm what do cameras do? Ive seen the content creators pick it up and deposit it, but what does it actually do?

[sturdy blade]

10% Expenite boost from what I've heard

[grave cradle]

Hm sounds good

[median sleet]

I heard they give more of those credit things at the end of the run

[grave cradle]

Generally sounds useful to get

[median sleet]

I didn't know you could pick them up till like an hour ago

[mystic lark]

Hello does anyone know if there will be a second wave for the closed alpha? Sadly i didnt get a key.

[grave cradle]

Cant play it unfortunately till full release

[median sleet]

yes, but no one knows when

[mystic lark]

Okay ty very much, rock and stone!

[finite laurel]

Secondary objective that gives an expenite multiplier bonus, much like season objectives in DRG

I don't think there's any credits in the game currently actually

[sturdy blade]

There will

Most definately going to be more invite waves, devs confirm it

"Better Luck Next Time" couldn't make it more clear tbh

[vagrant scaffold]

That number was just the all-time user peak of the playtest according to steamdb. It's not the amount of total invites sent, but it definitely is a loose lower bound for it. The game must have at the very least that amount of players.

[finite laurel]

We don’t have to re-apply every time, right? One is enough

[sturdy blade]

I'm going to guess that just short of 1000 were sent out

[mystic lark]

Ty my brother

[vagrant scaffold]

Before yesterday, the game had had an all-time peak of 24 players. (Developers themselves and mods, most likely.)
So if the current all time peak is 218 then you could guesstimate the game gained almost 200 new players.

[pulsar owl]

We need to also consider the potential number of +1s that were successfully sent

[vagrant scaffold]

True. And considering the +1 invites are apparently not working for many people, we could go even lower and speculate that only around 150 people got initially randomly selected by Steam.

[sturdy blade]

And that the "all time peak" is only players actively in the game (not just people who have access)

[vocal jewel]

what if its all a hoax and nobody got any keys

[vagrant scaffold]

Yeah, just people who actually accepted the invitation and booted up the game.

[sturdy blade]

So I'm sticking with my guess of a few hundred keys being handed out

No more than 1000

[uncut beacon]

:c

[hollow bear]

About tree fiddy

[sturdy blade]

Credible source, W

[grave cradle]

Cant play it anyway because im on Xbox

I wonder how much later the RC full release on Xbox will be than PC

[bitter plume]

i can confirm that rogue core is peak

pleeeease working jukebox and bar next update

[hollow bear]

Jukebox works

I don't think there's a way to get credits on the current build though

[vocal jewel]

i cant get the thing to work for the rogue core channels :(

[median sleet]

there's credits on the left jukebox

enough for 1 song

[hollow bear]

Nice

[hollow bear]

Is it just sending you here?

[grave cradle]

But you got Alpha access?

[median sleet]

are you clicking the discord button on startup?

[vocal jewel]

it just sends me to the discord ye

[hollow bear]

I think there's two buttons?

I dunno I just clicked one and it did the thing

[median sleet]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/779497175636901930/1369354451823104090/image.png?ex=681c36f6&is=681ae576&hm=19e629d4b257d9b99bdde31d639ed87b96298de58f8ab2a51d4b523f5bb51404&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1051&height=235&

[vocal jewel]

yup i clicked that one

[native monolith]

I would assume there is around 750

[median sleet]

Some people have had to try multiple times before it worked

[vocal jewel]

does 4 count as multiple

[hollow bear]

Maybe it needs the miners union treatment

[heavy solstice]

What needs that?

[median sleet]

rip

[vocal jewel]

oh apparently 4 doesn't count as multiple

but 5 does

[median sleet]

lol

Maybe it just takes a while after the first

[hollow bear]

https://tenor.com/view/office-space-gif-18166316

The discord alpha button

[heavy solstice]

My computer! D:

[native monolith]

If you hit your computer in the exact right way, the 1s and 0s will line up and give you alpha access

[heavy solstice]

Hey so, in the end there are only 4 classes in rogue core, right?

[native monolith]

Yesnt

[hollow bear]

Four for now

[native monolith]

There is currently but there will be more

[heavy solstice]

[vagrant scaffold]

The more the merrier.

[hollow bear]

There are at least two more classes that have existed in some form or fashion

[native monolith]

Too many cooks spoil the soup

[pulsar owl]

each ingredient looks like a different variety of apple though

[heavy solstice]

Dont you guys worry having more than 4 will affect in a way where there is a "must have" in every mission or a "useless" one?

[pulsar owl]

refer to my message above, the classes don't seem to be build defining at all

[hollow bear]

Really depends on how much value they put into class abilities before EA

[native monolith]

Classes aren’t very prevalent

[pulsar owl]

I would think more bio boosters focusing on the class ability (don't have access so i don't know), but the variety in playstyles might as well tend to become homogenous

[native monolith]

Obviously balance concerns will appear but you aren’t gonna be that worse off by picking a “bad class”

[delicate canopy]

Honestly I can't wait to try rogue core lol

[pulsar owl]

since the weapons and artifacts are the most defining things

[heavy solstice]

Same

[ruby knot]

Classes in RC are kinda like classes in Borderlands. You can build slicer for pretty much anything just like how you can build Maya to be a healer, good with SMGs, go all in on phase lock, that kinda thing

[delicate canopy]

Also RIP Bosco and Molly in RC

[heavy solstice]

F

I liked both

[ruby knot]

They give you a general direction to go in (spotter kinda points you towards crit for example) but they don’t force you into it

[hollow bear]

Ellis is new best friend

[heavy solstice]

No wait, its still in development, we only need to ask gor them to come back

[delicate canopy]

True

[heavy solstice]

What class you want to try or want to main?

I love the idea of the one with the energy blade, but i also love the concept of the one with the repulsor gauntlet

[pulsar owl]

depends on if the synergy biobooster is present on slicer

[native monolith]

Friendship ended with bosco

Cooper is my new best friend

[heavy solstice]

If the slicer doesnt have an idle where does wooshing sounds with the blade, ill be dissapointed lol

[heavy solstice]

Thats the name of the new personal drone?

[hollow bear]

COOPUH

[native monolith]

Yeah

[heavy solstice]

Do we have images?

[hollow bear]

He just looks like Bosco for now

[mossy ruin]

we have gameplay

[native monolith]

Same model as bosco

For now

[hollow bear]

He will have a visual overhaul

[heavy solstice]

Wonder how long will take until the community either fights over who's best, or make cute fan art of both being friends lol

[native monolith]

Bosco and cooper are canonically married

[frail elk]

Do you get an email or anything if your request for

oops

if the request didnt get accepted

for playing rogue core

[snow plume]

Whoever is in charge of the youtube shorts, you're mocking us...

[fallow grove]

What about the dwarvs

[hollow bear]

That would be Mark

[snow plume]

I hope Mark doesn't get in the Alpha >:[

[rich river]

can the invited rc people invite others

[mossy ruin]

they can invite 1 person from their steam friend list, whom they have been friends with for at least 30 days

provided eveyrthing works correctly

this feature is kind of experimental on steam's part

[rich river]

ngl i want rogue core bad now for some reason

[lethal otter]

when will the next wave happen

[mossy ruin]

I am pretty sure we don't know that

[lethal otter]

dumb

[mossy ruin]

my assumption would be like a month maybe

[lethal otter]

i want another rogue like to sink 3k hours in

[mossy ruin]

I mean, early access is supposed to release by the end of the year if all goes well
that's quite soon

[hollow bear]

There will be at least a few alpha sessions

[mossy ruin]

and there are 7 months until the present EA release date

so one wave per month seems reasonable to me

[lethal otter]

they should do one wave every hour

[acoustic shell]

Are Engineers sentry guns in the game?

[acoustic shell]

One wave every 12 hours.

[hollow bear]

Not currently

There are stationary turrets you can activate, but they're more like the minehead ones

[plucky salmon]

Has everyone who's already going to get into this playtest gotten in already, or are more people being let in tomorrow after they make sure the servers don't explode?

[crystal echo]

Tomorrow another dev stream tho! So they might surprise us with a new wave 🙂

[fluid slate]

how does one figure out if they even did get selected. Email I'm guessing?

[ruby knot]

Yeah, steam emails you

[plucky salmon]

email and it'd show you in the steam client itself as well iirc

[oblique crow]

89 ppl playing rogue core rn and im not one of em

[olive hound]

RC having 2 food clocks seems a little bit oppressive.

[mossy ruin]

food clocks?

[olive hound]

Food clock in roguelikes are used so the player moves to the next stage

Like ammo

Or the timer for every wave

Or the ghost in spelunky/ dificulty increase in RoR
Rogue Core as of right now has 2 food clocks

[fluid slate]

did they put the BLT in rogue core?

[vocal jewel]

with the existence of upgrades that either give u ways to get ammo or passive damage sources that dont rely on ammo i think its fine to have two

[hollow bear]

Food clock? It's sandwich time

[fluid slate]

emergency BLT!

[mossy ruin]

judging from the dev stream, there is more than enough ammo

[vocal jewel]

if u get a good weapon theres enough ammo

if u get a bad weapon, good luck

[deep skiff]

When we get back.. It's sandwich time.

[unreal carbon]

please, who can add me in friendlist in steam and give invite in rogue core?
i and my friends just wait this game from announce but no one get invite :\

[desert sinew]

Salutations ppl 👋 , i have come to keep being sad about not being able to play the alpha XD

[median sleet]

need to be friends for 30 days

[unreal carbon]

damn

i think its ok for it

[unreal carbon]

Because it seems it's better to play in 30 days and be happy than not to play and just wait

:c

[surreal venture]

I was expecting more beggars

[pulsar owl]

With the way you can generate infinite ammo on bugs with big max hp, the way you can generate red sugar on power attack, as well as infinitely chain power attacks. It's possible to invalidate both food clocks

[median sleet]

You can still play when it releases

[unreal carbon]

yes, but idk when its come out

[median sleet]

Q4

[desert sinew]

I didn't get lucky... i'l accept it, but that's not gonna stop me from being sad about it 😦

[unreal carbon]

that more than 30 days

[median sleet]

Be happy you guys will get a more fun first experience of the game

[hollow bear]

There will be other tests, if you signed up there's still a chance

[desert sinew]

Also i find it strange that the dwarves voices are the same as in the main game, since it's supposed to be a different team

[median sleet]

I think falconneer wil get a different VA

dunno about the others

[hollow bear]

She will.

Not sure what the others will get for treatment

[desert sinew]

Interesting, for now it's the same as the engi i think... or was it the scout?

[hollow bear]

Thatll be a while from now

[median sleet]

I hope they get a different VA too, cus hearing a gunner voice makes me instantly forget I equiped the flare gun

[hollow bear]

I don't think they'll use someone other than Javier for the male dwarves

[median sleet]

Damn

I'll get used to it tho

[hollow bear]

His delivery may be different, we'll see.

[desert sinew]

Also, the commander sounding like mission control makes no sense XD

[hollow bear]

I don't assume they'll change a bunch

[median sleet]

You mean the AI?

[desert sinew]

Yep

[mossy ruin]

does he now?

[median sleet]

It's a different VA tho lol

[mossy ruin]

he kind of sounds more formal too

[median sleet]

He does have some voicelines that still use MC voicelines as a placeholder

[hollow bear]

Aaron is omega

[desert sinew]

There's times he glitches and goes full robotic

Then there's times he goes full mission control voice

Weird stuff

[mossy ruin]

.

[hollow bear]

Alpha gaming

[desert sinew]

I do wonder if we'l be able to find karl's body on this game XD

[median sleet]

Nah

[grave cradle]

Ngl the Omega ai sounds really nice
Also neat that MC is there instead when you are outside the rogue zone

[mossy ruin]

0.0001% chance for a special animation when defeating the gotoorak guardian for karl to appear and take it with him into The Hole ™️

[zealous garden]

I don't know too much about it, but is it a prequel? Also, will you board the droppod to get to the core or whatever?

[deep skiff]

it takes place at the sametime as DRG.

[iron jolt]

I just got some weird ass bug. I had the shock blaster and the new shotgun, used the grenade equipment container thingy and then my shotgun turned into shock blaster, but when I hover over it in the pause menu it says it's a lead storm minigun 😭

[deep hill]

any idea what the patch was?

[sturdy blade]

Did you report in the tester discord?

[hollow bear]

#changelist-alpha message

[median sleet]

bugfixes mostly, nothing major

[sturdy blade]

I hope he goes with a more serious, seasoned tone for the Reclaimers

[severe nymph]

Hello dwarves

[sturdy blade]

[severe nymph]

Another day till rogue core releases

We wait with a steely resolve

I'm definitely not losing my mind

[deep hill]

no access

[hollow bear]

Ya motha

[gaunt ingot]

quick question:
do we know if your dwarf's gender is tied to the class or will it be customizable?
like will guardian, spotter, and slicer always be masc and will falconer always be fem?
id definitely prefer if it was customizable for sure

[sturdy blade]

Tied to class I would assume

[grave cradle]

Also from the gameplay ive seen, the Grapple hook and shield gen are nowhere to be seen, but maybe they just dont fit rogue core that well

[sturdy blade]

Gives each one unique identity

[gaunt ingot]

theyre in

[sturdy blade]

I don't think Shield Generator is

Because Guardian's pulse exists

[grave cradle]

Thats the Guardians job tho

[sturdy blade]

That's what I just said..

[gaunt ingot]

they are more rare, can find them in equipment crates in later stages
just never in the very beginning

[grave cradle]

I assume turrets arent a thing because you're always on the move presumably

[gaunt ingot]

you can roll shield and grapple ive seen them both

[olive hound]

Turrets with treads

[sturdy blade]

Well from someone who lacks the tester role there's not much credibility here

[grave cradle]

I said it like 2 seconds after your message

[gaunt ingot]

ive yet to see engie turrets, but i assume theyre there too

[sturdy blade]

@hollow bear

[grave cradle]

I kinda doubt it with Falconeer being there

[sturdy blade]

Please just extinquish this misinformation

[grave cradle]

Shield gen seems kinda op for RC anyway

I do like the way they did the class abilities also, feels you should always use them instead of juts saving them pike a shield gen in current drg for example

[gaunt ingot]

i have a screenshot but i cant share qwq
no image perms

if you watch the latest lazymaybe vid you can see it

[grave cradle]

Idk how well it would work in 3D drg

There is also the vertical factor

[sturdy blade]

Timestamp?

[olive hound]

Rolling on any surface maybe?

Like some traction treads?

[chrome sundial]

Turret with treads and a rocket underneath

[olive hound]

Or hovering turrets

[grave cradle]

Its related to Doretta

[sturdy blade]

Cause I've been watching Lazymaybe's stream, but the only "shield gen" is the bio transmutator thing

[olive hound]

RC needs better tech

[gaunt ingot]

i dont see why not
you can have a thunder bird and turrets i dont see the issue

[grave cradle]

Turrets might be too clunky for the quick paced gameplay

[gaunt ingot]

shield generator [+3 seconds duration]

[grave cradle]

You often need to move on, cant get too comfortable

[gaunt ingot]

that right?

[sturdy blade]

Give me the time stamp

[gaunt ingot]

23:30

[sturdy blade]

Cause I'm over 1:30:00 in and I haven't seen Gunner's shield gen

[gaunt ingot]

https://youtu.be/nchw6_vFKAM?si=SAh27scHl5Si2gJ0

[grave cradle]

Also kinda weird how they did armor now, buts its a nice change of things

[sturdy blade]

Well I'll be damned

They just didn't take it

[pulsar owl]

Can confirm both grapple and shield are present in that vid

[gaunt ingot]

still dont fully understand, though i havent played for myself

[sturdy blade]

I don't get how someone can't abuse that with guardian and just become invulnerable by cycling it with radial pushback

[olive hound]

Maybe the shield is bugged?

[steel hearth]

They could tweak them like they did with the zipline if they wanted to

faster deploy, faster recall, etc

Still might not fit tho, who knows

[grave cradle]

What did they do with the zips tho?

[gaunt ingot]

zoooom

[sturdy blade]

nyoom

[olive hound]

Yeah i don't see why they would remove something like that.

[grave cradle]

They finally upgraded the zips🔥

Also, i guess the reason why there isnt shield gens on the dwarves is because the suit power is reserved for the class based ability

[steel hearth]

Zips are way faster, you carry a lot more, and I think they're usable at steeper angles?

[gaunt ingot]

yeah sounds pretty dumb
though guardian cant push back ranged threats
i still think guardian should have a cooldown more similar to slicer tbh
that might help resolve this potential issue

[quartz kernel]

hows it going reclaimers?

[gaunt ingot]

cant say
im but a simple miner

[grave cradle]

Im but a console peasant

Gotta wait for 1.0 release😭

[quartz kernel]

🫡

[grave cradle]

Also i thought in the april fools video the guardian could create a barrier that stops projectiles and such with his primary use, but not its a repulsion aura?

The stun attack is basically the same by the looks of it

Also what exactly does the spotter do? Ik he pings enemies and increases the critchance but anything else?

Its kinda like MFD on crack

[hollow bear]

Just creates a crit debuff if you direct hit, makes a circle on the wall/floor if you hit terrain. Enemies get the crit debuff if they pass through it

[native monolith]

https://youtu.be/nchw6_vFKAM?si=NLpB03UpC654cT0X

Cinema

[verbal oyster]

Could it be that everyone who received an access code through discord cannot invite friends to the playtest?

can someone verify?

[fierce bone]

last I heard you can only share it between steam friends and you had to have been friends with them for minimum of 30 days

[verbal oyster]

yeah no shit

I just don't even see the option to invite anyone at all

[eternal fractal]

i need that rogue core alpha pass 💔

[verbal oyster]

and i have a lot of steam friends for more than 30 days

[fierce bone]

I NEED the Rogue Core in my veins right now. been refreshing my emails constantly for like 24 hrs...

[verbal oyster]

i heard other people also don't have the option to invite anyone at all

[eternal fractal]

rogue core is so peak... 💔

uh guys when new wave?

[gaunt ingot]

does it not do a slow down effect right now?
i assume at some point it would with a name like special purpose operations tactical tranquilizing and enfeebling repeater

[inner granite]

+1 week

[fierce bone]

The Goblin esque urge to message the devs begging for a code...

BUT I WILL HOLD FAST. I WILL NOT SUCCUMB TO IMPATIENCE

[sturdy blade]

Tbh I have considered asking the devs politely for a code but I don't wanna take the chance that they'd exclude me from a wave if they say no

[hollow bear]

No slow currently but it's still very early

[fierce bone]

Im pretty sure that they are already receiving a massive amount of similar requests

[sturdy blade]

indeed

I would rather not be part of the noise (It probably annoys them)

[signal pasture]

hey for the playtests was there any chance someone could of got an invite a few hours after the first invites intially launched?

[desert sinew]

I would like to know how many keys they sent out exactly (so i don't feel so bad about not having one if there's not many XD)

[native monolith]

No

You got in or you didn’t

[signal pasture]

alr thanks

[native monolith]

Hope for next wave

[fierce bone]

They might have a playtest player cap on right now. last time I was waiting for a game release like this was VHS (RIP)

[verbal oyster]

it's probably not a lot but some people got a super secret key through discord for contributions to the experimental branch of DRG

If they also got in normally they could give the code to someone

[gaunt ingot]

also im not a play tester so take what i say with a grain of salt obviously
but i feel like the repulsion wave on the guardian should be shorter but also create an initial damaging blast in its radius (of course less than the stun attack) to better sell the energy repulsion idea and distinguish it more from the shield generator
having a simple radius of fear for a long duration isnt really how i imagined it tbh
although of course its a very early iteration, im still giving this thought because thats just how i feel about its current state
but then again what do i know :p

[verbal oyster]

but i didn't and i would wager not a lot of people did

[gaunt ingot]

got it

[sturdy blade]

~350 (Confirmed)

[quartz kernel]

but how many people signed up?

[desert sinew]

Makes sense then, 350 is really a small amount taking into account how big the community is....

[sturdy blade]

I think we can assume quite a lot

Especially so now that it's become very popular, I'm sure they'll be handing out way more invites

[fierce bone]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-but-i-want-it-now-gif-26307521

[desert sinew]

I would dare say thousands worldwide

[gaunt ingot]

2 people

[desert sinew]

So getting ones of the 350 keys out of all the ppl who signed... yeah pretty hardcore luck needed

[gaunt ingot]

just lock in

will the key into existence

[fierce bone]

im gonna do a voodoo ritual to artificially increase my luck for a week

ooh! new Beer Idea?

Luck based?

Luckless Lager?

[young pivot]

How long is the alpha open for?

[hollow bear]

Hasn't been said yet

[gaunt ingot]

five more minutes better hurry

[desert sinew]

Yeah the old goat sacrifice just isn't cutting it anymore

[young pivot]

I thought it was one day, which in hindsight is pretty silly

[fierce bone]

gotta throw in a Lootbug and Breather plant now.

[gaunt ingot]

have you tried knocking on wood?

[inner granite]

i saced 500 loot bugs, is it enough?

[fierce bone]

Me running "Its a bug thing!":

WEAK

[inner granite]

we are monsters, but c'mon, we have rules!

i hate last 5% on dowland bar

[desert sinew]

I kinda like how this channel has been like 99,8% talking about not getting into the game all day, shows how much the community was waiting for it XD

[gaunt ingot]

do not the lootbug

have you all tried turning your steam off and back on again?

[olive hound]

And there is already a channel for the ones who got into the beta.

[gaunt ingot]

it might magically show up

[desert sinew]

It's not the dwarf fault the lootbug was born to be poped

[gaunt ingot]

pope

it has delicious mineral

[fierce bone]

I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED IT!

[desert sinew]

Makes sense, otherwise they won't be able to discus anything about the game while we are all moping for not being able to play it

[gaunt ingot]

im just sittin here with a dorky lil grin giddy about all the content i get to watch on the alpha playtest

[olive hound]

Yep

[fierce bone]

I dont want to spoil myself too much. i wanna enjoy the horror vibe ghost ship games has been cooking up

and also the more I know the less I anticipate anything interesting happening

going into games blind has given me some fun memories

meanwhile Youtube is suggesting Rogue Core Gameplay videos to me and I am silently BUZZING

[gaunt ingot]

fair

i dont have that level of patience
me want see everything immediately

[sturdy blade]

I want to be in already

I wanna be home rn playing this game endlessly until I've discovered everything

[gaunt ingot]

same

but i dont mind watching others play

plus it probably wouldnt run the greatest for me
id absolutely try and make it work tho

[olive hound]

Playing in the beta test will surely not be great.

Now i do hope to not be in the next wave.

Until the game is more stable/patch up

[gaunt ingot]

part of me wants my first play through of the game to be in early access when its less bare bones and much more polished

[olive hound]

Yes

[gaunt ingot]

watching it rn
its really awesome and i cant wait to get my hands on the game
but also due to it being super unfinished, theres just much less to sink my teeth into as a gameplay experience
and i kinda want to experience that in bulk when things get fleshed out and more complicated

still not opposed to the idea of getting to play the alpha
but its not on my priority list
if i got in tho i could give my friend access, which i would really want to do

[inner granite]

Will we get behind the scenes video/post about RC? How cave generation works, how diffrend mechanic were designed, all technical kind of stuffs

I love reading about the way that diffrend games work

[sturdy blade]

Dev Stream tomorrow, they usually answer questions

At least I heard they were streaming

[olive hound]

I'll watch it on the clock

[gaunt ingot]

also at 1:46:46 for good measure

[compact shard]

Pope loot bug when?

[gaunt ingot]

true...

[iron jolt]

I need the ost.. now...

[severe nymph]

Trueing

I love it

[runic pivot]

it's also because for now the ammount of people allowed is tiny, maybe tommorow with the other live stream they'll let in some more

https://steamdb.info/app/2860770/charts/

i guess it's only a few hundred

[gritty python]

They did say they wanted it to be a pretty small closed beta and they'd open more slots soon

Tho I def want to get into it quick too lol

[severe nymph]

I NEED it

[thorn moat]

honestly this game just feels like an exspansion from what i saw

[wary tiger]

It was originally planned to be a seasonal event within drg, after all

[thorn moat]

see thats whats lame there just copying drg and making it a new game and can charge it full price everything about this is legit just a copy but a few new things in it

[latent tendon]

what if someone repacks it on steamrip :trollface:

[next crater]

friendship ended with Ghost Ship Games

[next crater]

☝️ 🤓 Akshually! In the concept phase it was meant to be a much bigger expansion - not just a season.

[thorn moat]

wait so this is an exspansion or a whole new game?

[hollow bear]

gamespansion

[short tree]

I'm hoping you can choose between the new Mission Control and OG Mission Control

[stiff lance]

A whole new game

[short tree]

Spinoff. Roguelite

[thorn moat]

hmmm ok im thinking now this probably could be cool overtime with more updates actually

[sturdy blade]

What happens if risk vector votes are split 50/50?

[wintry latch]

prolly random?

[errant kiln]

krillionare

[red badger]

I know its probably a little late to ask this. but were you supposed to do something specific to get closed alpha access?

[thin mason]

iirc it was requesting for playtest access on steam

[red badger]

oh

[thin mason]

also

have you ever looked at the slicers blade and ever thought to yourself

did rnd reverse engineer the rival tech to make this

[native monolith]

They stepped onto hoxxes IV. All ownership of their “property” became forfeit

[thin mason]

yeah but like have you ever thought of that

[hasty rain]

the rivals could have helped us stop the rockpox
they didn't
ergo they are far more evil and don't deserve to be on this world

[red badger]

the rockpox doesnt pose a threat to them since they are all robots

last time i checked a robot cant get sick

[little wolf]

Closed alpha had launch? No email means LATA SUCKA 🥺

[hasty rain]

the rockpox was briefly spreading through the space rig, while the relevant seasons were going on

[junior finch]

isnt it a sentient rock?

[hasty rain]

sentient, arguably
but rockpox is exactly that: a pox, for rocks
it targets minerals, and that seems to include metal (albiet not as effectively as rock)

[junior finch]

so metal/alloys could be infected

oh god rox pox bots

[hasty rain]

i say "arguably" because it does seem to deliberately target things it considers "hostile" or "food"
but so do micro-organisms

[junior finch]

pox bots sound cool but defiantly over the infected vibe

[red badger]

touche

[vagrant elm]

damn 500 hours wasnt enough to get it

I didnt rock and stone hard enough gents

[thin mason]

🙏

[vagrant elm]

This is on me, I must dispel all cowardice

[red badger]

I had 1000 hours but also didnt get it

[vagrant elm]

I must rock and stone harder

nah I figured first round is probably going to be a lot of creators to get word out

[thin mason]

ive only rocked and stoned for 363 hours and still got it

idk how but at least i can reclaim the core

[vagrant elm]

last time I reclaimed a core, I got arrested

public indecency n all that

[thin mason]

😭

[raven wharf]

Time played is irrelevant. It's random.

[vagrant elm]

ill believe that when dwarves fly

wait

okay fair enough but im not happy about it

[compact shard]

and rock can?

[native monolith]

It’s… through steam alpha access

It’s fully random

[vagrant elm]

that was a joke friend

[compact shard]

It would be nice for one of us to be handpicked for the alpha tho

[native monolith]

It’s hard to tell, people have actually come in here seriously annoyed they didn’t get in with there 10000 hours lol

[vagrant elm]

fair enough

[native monolith]

A singular chosen one

[vagrant elm]

Karl's Chosen

[native monolith]

Random lurker who had talked 4 times

[vagrant elm]

all the better tbh

[native monolith]

The thing that flabbergasts me is that a couple of people think that if the testers were just drg vets it would be better

[compact shard]

can we do a vote? whoever wins gets alpha invitation. just like the pirate king election in Pirates of the Caribbean

[native monolith]

It being random is perfect because it’ll hopefully just pull people with various playtimes, maybe even some with none

[vagrant elm]

I think a small and I mean like

5% max

should have high playtime

well

hm

[native monolith]

And that is done

[vagrant elm]

id like to see how random it is though if it has biases or not

not like 'oh its wrong' but just to see the numbers

[native monolith]

Well, I would guarantee most are players with atleast 100 or so hours

But i do hope they get some outliers with different opinions

[vagrant elm]

i wanna see the spread

[raven shoal]

would honestly really love to see if the rivals were implimented

they seem like a faction that would appear in the core/deep mines

at least considering their tech and prospecting sites

[native monolith]

I hope they stick with the entirely new palette

Rivals could work but I’d rather just see all new stuff

[raven shoal]

fair, rivals could still be expanded on for the game and provide the unique robot related challenges the rival tech has

[eternal barn]

Ok they said the glyphid’s were not gonna be in the game.. then why the is A BULK DETONATOR in a cage??

I don’t wanna go boom boom again

[tall plume]

you could just not open the cage

https://tenor.com/view/think-about-it-use-your-brain-use-the-brain-think-brain-gif-7914082

[eternal barn]

I’m nosey so I had to see what it did though

[hasty rain]

Alternatively, open it
And then do the Crassus tunnel!

[raven wharf]

But I want to slather that green goodness on every surface within a 5m radius

[eternal barn]

Though the bulk explosion does feel smaller but could just be me

[eternal barn]

Better than morkite

[runic pivot]

when they said small i thought about 2000 but right now it's probably about 500

[balmy roost]

is there any word on what the 'Spawnlord' is supposed to be? Definitely not the Gatekeeper given it doesnt spawn things

[desert sinew]

I asked oday how many keys they exactly sent out and someone said it was 350

So it's a really really small test

[willow hawk]

Personally I would've liked to have a better look at things for myself as one of those people (and as someone who obsessively tears through stuff) but I'm honestly too busy with other games/life recently to be terribly bothered.
I do however look at videos and it gives me a vague enough idea of what they have so far and I'm a bit skeptical here and there, just a little. It is what it is.

[runic pivot]

Fingers crossed more of us are getting in tommorow with the livestream

[desert sinew]

As long as that "more of us" includes me, i'm happy XD

[obtuse cloak]

if that includes me im happy

[raven wharf]

Unless one of the developers states an exact number, everything is speculation and pointless.

[daring hill]

Pretty sure it does

More than what an ambient swarm would contain

[astral dome]

what is your guys guesses for how frequent the drops will be? i hope it to be every stream of rogue core but something more realistic would probably be each month

[severe nymph]

Hello dwarves

Hows that rogueing and coreing for those lucky to be in

[old swift]

monthly seems more likely, i doubt they'll add in more people only 2 days after they let in an intentionally small group

[severe nymph]

I'd hope it's monthly

I need this game injected into me

[jovial walrus]

🤔

[severe nymph]

Don't question me

[astral dome]

weird but i understand

[severe nymph]

This game looks like digital crack

I'm nkt even like super duper into rogue likes

I'm pretty bad at them

Though none of the ones ive played are shooters so

[blissful geyser]

The game isn't out yet. Think of the alpha invite like a random small chance to try a crappy early version of the game. But for the most part you want to wait for the early access release and get a taste of what the game is "supposed" to be.

[severe nymph]

I'm aware

I'm just very excited to play for myself

Whether that's in the alpha or actual launch

[blissful geyser]

The longer you wait (or have to wait), the better the game will be when you first try it.

[severe nymph]

This is true

I can wait tho

I mean I've waited for silksong for ages so

Patience is a virtue

[blissful geyser]

Indeed

Try not to think of the possibility that Silksong releases before the EA of Rogue Core. Lol

[severe nymph]

I mean when was rogue even announced

[blissful geyser]

Well based on my memory of what was around me when it was announced, I think it must've been early 2023.

[severe nymph]

Oh

Yeah honestly that's nkt along time

Silksong was announced like idk around 7 years? Maybe??? Ago

Probably wrong

[blissful geyser]

I don't remember honestly, it was 2023 to early 2024.

[severe nymph]

2019 it twas announced

Yeeah

Thays rough for them

I think devs shouldn't announce games till its like a few years till it should be out

[blissful geyser]

Between you and me, I think Silksong WAS intended to release back then, and one thing or another came up.

We can't all be as blessed in release and development schedule as is Ghost Ship Games.

[severe nymph]

Knowing team cherry they probably had way to many ideas and were like "fuck it delay it another few years"

[native monolith]

Yeah! Slopes

Took them 2 years but by void they done it

[native monolith]

I personally believe Ari and William are sitting in there office and the following interaction happens every week:

“alright, looks like we’re done.”

“Okay but… we could add something here.”

looks at pile of cash in corner of office

“Yeah we can keep going for a bit”

[severe nymph]

Exactly

There game definitely allows for continuous addition

Rogue core less so

[native monolith]

Rogue core 100% would it’s just as much work as it is with DRG

[severe nymph]

If they wanted to add more they'd probably do seasons eventually as well

[native monolith]

Some games it’s more like Legos

Others is bridges

You can’t build one part of a bridge and have it be drivable

[severe nymph]

Mhm

[native monolith]

I’d say rogue core has reached a middle ground because it is a roguelike

It’s pretty damn easy for them to just ship out a class and release compared to the hellish undertaking it is to, for example, make a set of weapons in drg

They’re basically disconnected every building block

[amber cobalt]

Will my unhealthy amount of hours in DRG help my case in getting in the rogue core alpha

[blissful geyser]

Nope. It's a random lottery

[amber cobalt]

oop

[blissful geyser]

Embed failure ❤️

[chrome sundial]

When I wake up I will have access to rc

That is the dream

[balmy roost]

Oh I meant like, spawning enemies like how a Hiveguard spawns sentinels. Creatures unique to the Spawnlord

There's Spawnlord_AD (idk what that means) and Imp creatures in the game files from the dev stream. Additionally artwork last year showed a giant af crawler with two legs

[pearl axle]

Honestly I would rather wait to play the fully polished product than play the alpha. Its a much better experience when the icons and stuff aren't placeholder

[south wigeon]

I just...man I hope we get a big ol' axe to swing around. Some proper melee options would be so dope.

[severe nymph]

I put in suggestions asking if they can pretty please add another shotgun to core

Idk what type of shotguns even are there but I just enjoy them

[glass nexus]

they should give me early access because im so cool

[severe nymph]

Nuh uh they should give ME early access cus IM cool

[south wigeon]

I think both of you should get it :)

[crystal echo]

Will the dev stream today be around the same time as the one we got tuesday?

[tall plume]

yes

[severe nymph]

No. We must fight in the arena and the winner gets in

[south wigeon]

Play some Balatro and whoever gets a higher ante wins

[severe nymph]

I'm cooked I suck nardes at balala

[finite tundra]

Is there like a full discord server for rogue core where they discuss like the dev progress or have sneak peaks kind of like drg survivor

[orchid stirrup]

exponite bulk detonators look beautiful

[old swift]

all the rogue core stuff is here

[quartz zephyr]

We are the rogue core

[edgy stump]

If they gave me early access i’d play the shit out of it cuz i have nothing better to do

[crystal echo]

Only the ones who got in has acces to that channel

[finite tundra]

Oh ok

[edgy stump]

Without funny gold chunks to ping, and with a time limit cap, what will be the first meme to surface in the rogue core?

[finite tundra]

No matter what we will find a way to make mission control’s migraines so much worse

Gold chunk or not

[edgy stump]

Apparently mission control isn’t in the game, AI took his job

[finite tundra]

I doubt he left by anything but his own choice we practically mentally tortured him.

[edgy stump]

I mean

I think the reclaimers and the regular drg company are different things and different operations

[daring hill]

fun fact: mission control was 100% planned to be in Rogue Core

Sniss played the game on an earlier build and in his video, you can hear a MC voiceline talking about rogue core elements

[finite tundra]

We could’ve pissed of our favorite office worker but it was taken away

[daring hill]

he's still here, we can hear his ghost in a line or two

[finite tundra]

No more mushroom😢

[edgy stump]

And… we’re at 50%

[old swift]

the only mission control line i've heard is actually for an uplink-like event

[edgy stump]

yeah, that’s what i was referencing

[finite tundra]

Honestly me having access to the game would backfire horribly

For me.

My schoolwork would sit unfinished for weeks

[edgy stump]

If you tell people about your wish then it won’t come true

idk

[finite tundra]

I’m already buried in schoolwork I can’t afford to hyperfocus on any new topics

I already started an indoor garden on a whim

[edgy stump]

Damn

[finite tundra]

The moment I get access to this game whether it’s beta alpha or full release it will probably become my personality for a couple months

[edgy stump]

Ditto

[orchid stirrup]

i quite like omega he makes it feel different

[median oar]

does a backflip

hi guys

[orchid stirrup]

hello

[median oar]

im just playin roguecore now what class should i play

ive played em all once

[orchid stirrup]

oh man lucky

[orchid stirrup]

i feel like

i forgot the nname but whats the dude with the seismic

like field around him

[median oar]

gardion

alrighty

[finite tundra]

What do all the classes do

I don’t know what I’m gonna play as

[median oar]

oh

falconer is electric

[zenith peak]

slicer has a cool frikin sword, guardian has like a fear forcefield, falkoner has lazer bird. idk about the 4th one

[finite tundra]

Laser bird?

[median oar]

falconer has electric falcon, slicer slice, gaurdian is cool and spotter makes weakpoints on enemies

[finite tundra]

Hell yeah my dwarven brother

[zenith peak]

bird that shoots lazers

or like

plasma ball things

[median oar]

😭

it dont man

it just rams into bugs

[zenith peak]

IT DOES?????

my life is a lie

[finite tundra]

So slicer does zone control it sounds like

Guardian is a supportive tank

[zenith peak]

eh more like just instakill a bunch of enemies

[finite tundra]

I mean that’s a form of zone control

[zenith peak]

lol

[finite tundra]

How does guardian work

Slicer seems very simple

[zenith peak]

2 abilities on the same cooldown

one is like a plasma shotgun

the other is the enemy repelling part of gunner's shield but without blocking anything

[finite tundra]

Classic death machine buffoonery
