rogue-core-chat

[zenith peak]

and it doesnt regen your shield or nothin

[finite tundra]

So engi bug repellent platforms overlayed over your character pretty much

[zenith peak]

ya

[finite tundra]

So I assume spotter is some sort of support dps

Because of its weak point feature I assume it had a weapon like the scout’s m1000?

I’m looking at slicer gameplay I’m a bit disappointed it’s only a cooldown ability why not make that a charge attack and let use spam the sword with less dmg. Cutting through the enemies with no regard for your own safety sounds incredibly fun.

Omega gives me anxiety

Something about it is just unsettling

[zenith peak]

honestly playing it feels wayy different

than just seeing it

[pure vessel]

He is, but we had to take him out momentarily since we can't have 2 mission controls because of technical restraints. The idea is that he will make a cameo at the beginning of the run, before entering the greyout barrier, and when you complete a run, lifting the greyout.

[finite tundra]

I bet, wish I could but I’d probably overdo it

[pure vessel]

We could probably do that. We'll see.

[daring hill]

Oh that rules

[median oar]

lmao

we got mission control cameo

after one of the events

[finite tundra]

Is omega going to be given its own personality of some kind if you don’t mind me asking?

[zenith peak]

you can get an upgrade where the cooldown goes down for every enemy you kill and its sooo busted if you stack it lmao, I had a game where i got such a build and i was instakilling entire hordes

[pure vessel]

Yeah, but what is in there is the direciton we're going in

[pure vessel]

That's awesome. That's how it should be.

[zenith peak]

lol

[finite tundra]

That is exactly what I was imagining

[zenith peak]

honestly wierdly enough the main thing I like about the sword is that its a toggle, makes it wayy more satysfying to use

cuz the other abilities you have to hold down and its ackward

[finite tundra]

Can’t wait for the next opportunity to get access even if it’s in 2 years I’ll still be hyped

[finite tundra]

The button mashing makes it more fun

[zenith peak]

yea but its kinda not like that, you have to press q to pull it out and then click to use it

its not a single button press

[finite tundra]

Oof

I can’t button mash

[zenith peak]

idk i think its more of a coding oversight though theres probably gonna be an option for making abilities toggle or hold

[finite tundra]

Yeah that would make the most sense and be the most consistent

[zenith peak]

i mean with like the guardian i think you can

hes got like 3 charges

but yeah i think itd be wayy better if those were on toggle

so you could spam it

kinda

[finite tundra]

Watching doctor devii try the game, using a pickaxe to hit stuff slows you down in drg? This is completely new info to me.

[old swift]

yes

[inner granite]

we can't have 2 mission controls because of technical restraints.
wait. greedy texan mod for example: it replaces some voicelines but not all, old ones have old mc icon

[zenith peak]

holy hell gago u were in my game

[inner granite]

how does it that work then?

[zenith peak]

(unless there are 2 different people named gago)

[inner granite]

alpha playerbase is small

its possile its him

[finite tundra]

Modders don’t have to worry about side effects or performance issues. Not saying that’s why just one thing to consider.

[wheat river]

I dont know the internals here in this case, but in general mods can usually get away with hacking things to get 1 thing working nicely, but implementing a core game feature has other expectation on them and needs to coexist with other systems (public and not) as well as be able to develop on

[finite tundra]

Also since it’s a new game it might not be fully the same as drg and because of that would have different constraints

I assume you are talking about a drg mod since I don’t think people have started modding rogue core already

[wheat river]

so generally when wondering "why no X when mod can do X" *** (for any game)*** it's because of other expectations or different constraints

[glad fox]

I have access to rogue core but I need to report a bug

[finite tundra]

Yeah that’s what I thought

[zenith peak]

cant you do it through the escape menu?

[finite tundra]

I’m trying to learn unreal engine myself so I’m starting to understand a little about development

[zenith peak]

(if you find a better way please let me know lmao ive got many a report to make)

[finite tundra]

Is the gotoorak gatekeeper throwing energy bombs?

[wheat river]

there is a discord channel for it too if you get access through the button in game

[finite tundra]

Even without having access to the game I can tell it is chaos

[zenith peak]

thanks!

[zenith peak]

hey cant be as bad as early access drg on xbox lmao

[finite tundra]

? I wasn’t around back then so I have no context.

I started playing when full release dropped

One thing I really hope for but know is probably expecting too much is the main thing with drg that pains me

No data sharing between different devices

[calm yoke]

What's with the third British mission control though?

[finite tundra]

As a concept it sounds simple but knowing what I do it’s most likely a pain to implement

[finite tundra]

I can only imagine how many stealing precious item jokes would be made if this was added

[zenith peak]

I mean I dont really either I was like 13 lmao, but I know the crashing frequency wasnt that much more than with this alpha

[zenith peak]

oh yeah

[finite tundra]

When was full release again?

I assume it’s related to jail breaking

Your console

[zenith peak]

oh no lmao

[finite tundra]

Ah how do you do it then?

[zenith peak]

you can download drg on your pc through the microsoft store and it keeps the save file

[finite tundra]

I meant between console and pc

[zenith peak]

yeah

i mean unless youre on playstation

[finite tundra]

About that..

[zenith peak]

but xbox to steam works

oh

rip

yeah

honestly there should just be a streamlined system

[finite tundra]

Yeah I agree it should exist. But I also think it’s more complicated than I imagine to make exist.

[zenith peak]

yeah

probably related to how microsoft has to verify every update you send out

idk

[finite tundra]

It would probably make a need for either PlayStation/xbox account integration into pc or custom accounts saved directly to ghost ship

Don’t quote me on that.

I know nothing of cross platform or multiplayer development

It’s like 4:24 AM I’m gonna hop off for today

Nice talking to you all

I should go sleep

[wheat river]

It would, in addition to reworking the save game system to handle conflicted cloud data from multiple sources. In addition there are then server and storage cost that we would commit to for the lifetime of the game. It's a complicated feature request in all directions, with every part of it being a judgement call

[tall plume]

no need, it's pretty correct for cross save

no worries

[finite tundra]

I guess the better an idea the harder it is to make

One last question before I go to bed is there still the ability to apply to be in the next tester pool or had that ship sailed.

[severe nymph]

Hello dwarves

[thin siren]

Hey

[severe nymph]

Wassap

I actually don't know what to talk about but I know I wanna talk about rogue core

[finite tundra]

Also thanks for breaking it down for me I find this kind of thing intriguing

[severe nymph]

I'm so freaking hyped for this game I can't even put it into words

[finite tundra]

Same all we can do is watch and wait

Okay I’m actually going to sleep this time

[severe nymph]

Gn yo

[wheat river]

It's the same pool for all upcoming playtests/invites so if you entered once you are in

[fading stag]

Hello, I don't speak English very well (Russian-speaking user). I heard that the test is distributed as a deadlock, so I need to find someone who has alpha test and ask to share?

[wheat river]

No, its random invites

Steam has a new (experimental, slightly bugged) feature where if you get invited you can also invite a friend, but you already have to be friends

[fading stag]

Sad to hear, thanks for the reply!

[fervent citrus]

Anyone else planning to watch the DEV livestream today?

[silk magnet]

nawh

i got stuff to do

[fervent citrus]

makes sense, even if it's liberation day here it's not a ordinary day off, most people won't be able to watch live

[silk magnet]

oh nawh its just a norm day for me lol

[finite tundra]

How would I go about entering?

[wheat river]

On the steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2605790/Deep_Rock_Galactic_Rogue_Core/

you can press the green "Request Access" button, and then you are eligable

Steam

Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core

DEEP ROCK GALACTIC: ROGUE CORE is a spinoff of Deep Rock Galactic with a roguelite twist. The roguelite element means you start each mission with only the most basic equipment, and cooperatively build up powers, weapons and abilities as you go. Each run requires you to think on your feet and work with your team to put together the most powerful…

Release Date

To be announced

▶ Play video

[finite tundra]

Ah it would seem I missed something incredibly obvious

Oh well at least I am entered now

[balmy roost]

whats a 'corespawn regenerator'

[finite tundra]

It regenerates core spawn

I would assume

I believe corespawn are the 4 legged ones

If my assumption is correct it’s a spawner for that enemy

[daring hill]

aye

[finite tundra]

If not idk

[finite tundra]

Hello

[daring hill]

we got 3 enemy families: Corespawn, Rafkan and Shatterclaw

[finite tundra]

I know what corespawn is

[daring hill]

Rafkan and Shatterclaw are the smallest, only 2 each

[finite tundra]

The rest of that did not compute

Ok now I’m following

Isn’t core spawn also the name of the enemies that spawned from the purple portals from that one season interaction in drg

[daring hill]

yeah, thats also here as like, a secondary equivalent of the grunt?

[finite tundra]

You testers are where all my info comes from the rest is just assumptions so thank you for the explanation

[daring hill]

well theres a stream starting in like 5-7 minutes so

[finite tundra]

It’s 7 am and I pulled an all nighter not sure I can stay awake through it

[sturdy blade]

I wonder if we will see other corespawn variants in the base game during core stones

[balmy roost]

'Eerie Presence: You will be hunted down by a Corespawn Regenerator'

I cant send the pic here cuz its not letting me but its from Reapee Ron's latest vid

unfortunately he didnt pick that modifier

[finite tundra]

That sounds concerning

I’m imagining a Goliath sized corespawn raising the other corespawn you killed in a feat of necromancy

[sturdy blade]

Reapee ron unfortunately takes health upgrades more often than not which I don't rly like

[old swift]

they're kinda just best right now

[sturdy blade]

I play too many rogue likes and it's just a pet peeve to go with the option that's always there

[finite tundra]

Honestly I want this game to have eldritch horrors that randomly appear

That would be incredibly funny if you just play the game only to be interrupted by something beyond understanding

[daring hill]

wow i have not seen that one yet

[sturdy blade]

I'm ready for RC to turn up the horror, and seriousness to 11 compared to DRG

[daring hill]

its mainly because its early days but there are a LOT of duds sadly

more often than not the available upgrades are suck, and any that don't get snatched up

[sturdy blade]

Do you know what happens if risk vector votes are split 50/50? Is it random?

[daring hill]

also health upgrades fills your health to max, which is huge

[native monolith]

You get both

[daring hill]

resupply pods no longer replenish health

[spice ravine]

Host is tiebreaker

[native monolith]

Idk if I really like the armor mechanic

[sturdy blade]

In roguelikes, it's a lot different, glass cannon is usually the go-to strat.

Reapee Ron doesn't seem like he has played many roguelikes extensively

[daring hill]

yeah armor is kinda bad

[native monolith]

I feel like they should have just stuck with shields but I think it’s to make health more of a demanded resource?

[finite tundra]

Gonna be hard to beat the bulk detonator hazard 5 in a shallow hole jumpscare

[daring hill]

they actually nerfed armor in the latest update, which is crazy. you get less health, and it defends less against damage

[native monolith]

But also there’s it’s so easy to get with some perks

[balmy roost]

the pic shows a regular looking clammerhead but idk if its a placeholder or not

[finite laurel]

I like the idea of armor and making all damage matter

[lilac heart]

I.e., if it’s 2/2, whichever option has the host’s vote is chosen?

[balmy roost]

I wonder if there'll be more final bosses

[native monolith]

I would like armor more if there was more perks for it

[finite laurel]

I'm sure there will be, probably also perks for having high armor and low armor

[sturdy blade]

Dev stream started btw

[finite tundra]

The AI looking over you revolts and over rides your equipment in the last betrayal before you get absolutely destroyed and left for dead

[balmy roost]

yk what would be cool, a pack of regular steeves in some research facility and we command them against the core spawn, they arent the strongest steeves but a fun addition

[native monolith]

Upon losing all armor, release a fat boy nuke explosion

[finite laurel]

The lower your armor is, the faster you move

[desert mortar]

Ionizing and flame bullets are busted

[finite tundra]

Bug tamer class when?

[finite laurel]

Has anyone found footage of the hammer rifle yet, I'm still looking

[desert mortar]

Ionizing procs but shooting, the damage overtime from Ioznizing procs flame bullets because apparently it does???

[finite tundra]

Army of 2000 steeves

[finite laurel]

Apparently it is in the beta, just very very rare

[desert mortar]

it's like a DMR

8 rounds mag

[finite laurel]

Are the bullets explosive?

[desert mortar]

hits for 100 damage base

no

purely physical

[finite tundra]

Isn’t it in alpha?

[native monolith]

100? Damn

[desert mortar]

but it can have all of the other elemental effects

really good if you have the acid element

because then its damage ramps up to 130 + poison puddles

[finite laurel]

Yes, my bad

[desert mortar]

it also has a pretty high armor pen

from what i'm assuming 50%

[native monolith]

If you play that with spotter isn’t that like a one shot to every enemy that’s not a clamor

[desert mortar]

normally yes

but when facility 2 appears

[finite tundra]

I was about to say. Thought I missed a couple dozen development updates.

[desert mortar]

you need to up the damage

because 100 won't be enough to 1 tap enemies within the first level of facility 2

[modern belfry]

Hi. Do you know when another wave of pre-alpha invites?

[desert mortar]

actually

that is enough since spotter's crit bonus

[native monolith]

We’re trying to ask right now

[finite laurel]

No, not even the devs know

[native monolith]

I was thinking double crits

[desert mortar]

its still not worth it to waste a spotter ability at a constant rate

[finite tundra]

Not even the devs know

[native monolith]

I mean yeah but if you don’t like an enemy that’s seems insane

[daring hill]

I want another wave. give me more people to play with!! :)

[mossy ruin]

isn't the acid upgrade adding 30% of damage as acid buildup? so it isn't actually + 30% just straight up damage

[desert mortar]

fair point

P96 plasma rifle or whatever is really good

it's soo consistent

[daring hill]

hammer caster is INSANE

you can get it with 30% of damage being cold

[desert mortar]

it's good for early game

[daring hill]

thats every pellet

[desert mortar]

it's a DMR

[daring hill]

so every single enemy AT THE START gets frozen in like.. 2-3 shots?

[desert mortar]

2

[finite tundra]

I hear-by name this build the “Dicer”

[desert mortar]

you guys are sleeping on burning crits / bullets and Ionizing

because both of these upgrades proc each other endlessly

[finite tundra]

I’m sleeping on the game

Because I don’t have access

[native monolith]

This is true but I’ve watched enough gameplay I can act like I’m allowed to argue balance

[desert mortar]

if you add on explosive kills on burning targets

ionizing can deal up to 150 damage

[native monolith]

The ionize seems pretty crazy

[finite tundra]

You and me both

[desert mortar]

and the explosive damage multi is like 1.25x

[native monolith]

Considering it never runs out

[desert mortar]

leading to insane combos

Nuclear Fusion

[native monolith]

I would say ionize is gonna probably be the first NTP esc build

[desert mortar]

Also btw

[native monolith]

Where your bullets have insane damage potential

[desert mortar]

you know about the combat stim, yes?

[native monolith]

Moonshine?

[desert mortar]

and its only drawback of being: On use, lose 25 hp

[native monolith]

Yeah

[desert mortar]

the dodge attribute

can actually dodge the damage

if you have the artifact: critical dodger and have like 3 bio stims on dodge and some additional crit chance

you can dodge most damage sources in the game apparently

with the exception of the ram charger's instant kill

[main hinge]

SURPRISE ROGUE CORE STREAM

[desert mortar]

You can also dodge the damage taken from cave leeches

making you uhh

[tall plume]

"surprise"

[desert mortar]

softlocked if you get grabbed with 100% dodge chance

i have conceived an idea of utmost ingenius.

[mossy ruin]

only a softlock in coop when everyone else is downed

[desert mortar]

yeah

unless cooper doesn't do anything

😔

[mossy ruin]

eventually he will

[desert mortar]

better red sugar upgrades are really op

with +50% bonus hp gained from red sugar

makes you able to heal 200 hp from a singular red sugar clump

so getting 1 uncommon red sugar upgrade

makes you hella efficient

[mossy ruin]

back to this, how do these two proc each other?
can ionization crit?

[desert mortar]

it can

apparently

[mossy ruin]

lol

lmao

[desert mortar]

all debuffs can do crits

so you can endlessly proc both effects

[modern belfry]

They said "in the future". The best answer from devs -_-

[desert mortar]

Bio Energy upgrade is so good for guns with low ammo carry amount

highly efficient with the jury-rigged boomstick

[crystal echo]

They not know when more keys go out lol. Why not…

[desert mortar]

a little tip here but

be very careful with the platform gun

it has a tendency of clipping people through the map

and teleporting them at the bottom of the elevators

forcing you to mine from 40-80 meters

[daring hill]

because theres not really a schedule. only """"concrete"""" rule is theres a new wave at the start of every test

[desert mortar]

(speaking from personal experience, i was trapped 80 meters underground with hard rock)

[main hinge]

I forgot the stream schedule channel exists

[desert mortar]

so the old testers won't be there?

did you ask them that?

[daring hill]

nope, everyone who gets access keeps access

that was said ages ago

[desert mortar]

alright

grey beards

[daring hill]

except for early access though, you need to buy the game.

[crystal echo]

Once you have acces your in lol

[desert mortar]

so through all of the closed tests

[tall plume]

[desert mortar]

those who had access in previous waves gets to keep their access

[daring hill]

yep

[desert mortar]

and a new wave of greenbeards will enter

yes?

[native monolith]

Ok they still don’t know about next wave

We will continue to ask every stream just in case they know one time :P

[daring hill]

also yes. right now i think only 200-300 people got access

[desert mortar]

[finite laurel]

Do we know who voices Omega? is it a dev or a contracted voice actor

[desert mortar]

i should probably try that shockwave gun

[native monolith]

Aaron

[sour forum]

mission control in rogue core?

[inner granite]

we have AI

omega

[main hinge]

Dwarfmoungus

[gritty matrix]

ziplines being actually usable is kino

[main hinge]

When the dwarf is sus!

[sour forum]

i just saw it when new miner joined the game

[main hinge]

Rogue core making ziplines useful

[gritty matrix]

you actually move at a solid speed!!! although it makes more sense for a game style where you arent intended to do nearly as much backtracking, and you’re on a timer

[crystal echo]

Every stream should be a new wave of invite. Hear hear!

[native monolith]

They invite one person

[lapis spire]

Do you think we’ll get rogue core this year

[native monolith]

Confirmed

Unless something changes

[sturdy blade]

Q4 (Winter)

[scarlet valve]

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-eric-andre-wanna-come-in-gif-13730108

I have 1000 hours in DRG i am a perfect closed alpha tester :))))

[young vessel]

i dont own DRG, let me in

[tall plume]

how many hours you have is irrelevant, people are picked at random

[scarlet valve]

Damn they should make an exception and pick me manually because I'm just that good

[desert mortar]

[summer tiger]

Kinda guessed it, sounded too funny to be other dev

[daring hill]

wow

dont let jacob see you saying that

[finite laurel]

Does anyone know if RC will have a mission selection screen like DRG or if missions are pre-generated and identical for everyone like deep dives

[daring hill]

There are currently 69 people playing Rogue Core right now.

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

[verbal bobcat]

Nice

[latent tendon]

im so sorry 😭 i bought skin dlc for apologise

[tall plume]

it's currently neither, you choose a "facility" and it's randomly generated

it serves as a "difficulty slider" of sort

[finite laurel]

Interesting, do we know if this is how it's intended to work long term?

[scenic storm]

will the game have mod.io community created mod support

[young vessel]

i hope theres an upgrade in the future that lets us punch corespawn like we can punch the punching bags in the ramrod

[daring hill]

way too early to even consider that, DRG didn't get official mod support until over a year after release

[tall plume]

I doubt the community won't mod the game

and if you mean "mod support", that's not in the plans right now

[scenic storm]

well u think wrong, cuz ppl will if its made easier

[daring hill]

hes saying he doubts they won't

[scenic storm]

yea thats fine aslong as its considered, ik for a fact there will be mods regardless but if its made easier then more complex mods can exist

[daring hill]

also mod.io never made it easier AFAIK, it only provided an official platform

making mods easier for creators was never considered for DRG, i dont see it being a consideration here

[scenic storm]

it provided an easier way to install them which increased the demand for mods so

[scenic storm]

ah yea i missread my bad

[round flower]

yo guys did any of u get playtest

cuz

i didnt

and im kinda crying bc of that

maybe ill get playtest next time they choose some people

cuz if not then

well

then im probably gonna be EVEN more sad

D:

[vagrant scaffold]

1000 hours
I'm just that good

Who's telling him?

[scarlet valve]

I have a few grey hairs in my beard, really!

[inner granite]

no, white paint does not count

[lapis spire]

Will they be customization options in the game?

[tall plume]

probably

in which part, it's unknown for now

[lapis spire]

Thank u

[magic bough]

Hve played a few runs of the game, been fun so far. Optimization aint DRG levels, but hopefully that'll improve (My GT1030 be strugglin) I also do hope to see some other more unique upgrades in the tree, for example, starting with a grenade already in our loadout.

[upbeat bay]

cant wait till the game comes out (or oea)

[magic bough]

Idk, first thing that came to mind

[tall plume]

yeah it's still very early

also you should join the closed testing channels through the ingame button

[magic bough]

I'll have to do that

[spring osprey]

Where do i give feedback/report bugs for the rouge core alpha? I know you get an option to give feedback when you close the game but that is bugged as well

[tall plume]

click the ingame links to get in the closed channels

[spring osprey]

ah

[spring osprey]

Does anyone know if the security cams you pick up do anything RN?

[tall plume]

they do, it's the meta currency used to enhancements

[spring osprey]

Ahhhh

[crystal echo]

Devs told about in the stream as well

[spring osprey]

How do you guys feel about the classes? I feel like they need passives or more impactful abilities to make them more distinct from each other

[sturdy blade]

Passives come from the perk tree

And ability impact I'm certain will be looked at before 1.0

[spring osprey]

Yeah but those are still pretty basic. Bonus health, armor and crit chance doesnt doesnt give any identity i feel like

[sturdy blade]

I think the reason the classes aren't as distinct as the miners is intentional

Leaves room for players to pick the ability they'd like, and form a playstyle around that ability, (Which I'm sure will be way better by 1.0)

[spring osprey]

True, you're supposed to build your dwarf throught each run but i still feel like the classes are missing some identity gameplay wise

[spice ravine]

There are unique bio boosters for each class

[sturdy blade]

I agree, if they take the abilties from the Slicer, Spotter, and Falconer and give them alternative functions like the Guardian has, i'm sure they'll be a lot more distinct from one another

Which I'm almost certain will happen, since these devs don't miss

[spring osprey]

Agreed

GSG is goated

Guardian is my favorite so ar

[young vessel]

they miss quite often in the streams actually, thats why they rarely pick weakpoint bonus damage

[sturdy blade]

lmao, regarding development, they don't miss

[crystal echo]

Stream was epic again today, I love how down to earth these devs are, cursing and swearing and calling names haha, really wholesome lads! Rock and stone devs!

[elder pumice]

Anyone know how often they add people to the playtest?

[tall plume]

no

[sharp ermine]

I am so excited for when I get into one of the play tests, even if it's only for a short time.

[orchid stirrup]

Im personally curious as to why the rifts in DRG are purple, but in rogue core they're red? Im not sure if its got some lore reason or its just a change of colour scheming

[hollow bear]

They were green for a bit.

Art team doing art team things

[raw epoch]

maybe the rifts are diferent?
that might explain why drg only has 1 enemy maybe this one where others went extint

[orchid stirrup]

Yeah i saw that too, so i imagine they're probably just changing the designs to their liking
I do wonder that if it is going to be definitvely red, maybe in season 6 they'll tweak the corestone stuff from season 5?

idk just food for thought

[hollow bear]

Still so early to tell. I'm sure they'll change again before all is said and done

[orchid stirrup]

Yeah true that

[steel hearth]

the red rifts look maybe too much like magma core hot rocks

[brisk sparrow]

They should totally add a voice line relating to rogue core in drg

[mossy ruin]

prolly placeholder

[calm saffron]

I do wonder how much of the content used in rogue core is final.

A lot of assets seem to used from DRG as placeholders (also an assumption). But besides the game introducing some new mechanic and it being dipped in the flavor of a roguelike game, I don't see many things that really differentiate it from DRG.

[pure vessel]

Nothing is final

[hollow bear]

Except Ellis.

[forest rain]

Omega is really cool

[twin ledge]

god Rouge core look so sick

[wheat river]

Yes Ellis is perfect and can do nothing wrong

[hollow bear]

Nothing but facts

[edgy stump]

sheldon cooper

Does anyone think they’ll add new movement/utility tools to roguecore? I’m more curious about the former than the latter

[tall plume]

they will

[summer tiger]

Aaron as OMEGA is cool

[olive hound]

Yeah, having no movement util on caves sounds terrible, deciding between flares and drills/platform/grappling has no strategy.

[inner granite]

Rainbow rifts mode when

[native monolith]

That would be cool

[inner granite]

I'm gonna learn modding only to add this and replace soundtrack during waves with this https://youtu.be/yqhKGBWvyqM?si=89Cu38v24vWFtnM4

[runic pivot]

don't cry yet there is almost no one as of right now, even after live stream 2
maybe tommorow because of the weekend or something

[olive hound]

Maybe maybe

[twin ledge]

are these new dwarves going to have new VAs? or are they going to just remain the same voices as the old dwarves?

[inner granite]

I think it is the same

Not sure about falco, as it's she

[twin ledge]

curantly it seems so yeah

[twin ledge]

and that is a good point yeah

[olive narwhal]

They are currently looking for a VA for falconeer

[carmine zenith]

Me

[hollow bear]

You're the bird

[inner granite]

Image some badass dwarf with disney princess voice

[olive narwhal]

Looking forward to your performance

[carmine zenith]

Finally, all my dreams have come true

[hollow bear]

Enjoy Jenny's home

And her hair

[carmine zenith]

Gonna go destroy jenny's keyboard

[runic pivot]

i asked a content creator who talks to the devs and he's very much not sure

i'm not going to hold my breath

[wheat river]

Take the hair but leave my keyboard alone

[carmine zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/annoying-bird-computer-bird-buttons-birds-bird-gif-17595644

[finite laurel]

Leave the gun, take the cannoli

[grave cradle]

Watching Reapeerons stream, apparently he literally cant win now

[edgy stump]

Is there such a thing as knockback in rogue core? A force strong enough to uproot core spawn and send them flying? Had an idea for a pulsar grenade that launches everything away from it’s epicenter, including dwarves, but i don’t know if knockback would work for enemies

[grave cradle]

By the looks of it the regenrative bugs modifier is broken on the gatekeeper

[edgy stump]

That would be hell

[silver lagoon]

The developers said that DRG Rogue Core will be no bugs, but I see some of them.

[grave cradle]

Its expected of the game being this early of a stage

[twin ledge]

I think he means glyphids

[edgy stump]

I think you mean core spawn

[edgy stump]

I think it’s cus the way the health works

You damage the grey bar, then deal real damage by doing smthn else

[grave cradle]

Like Harold in a way

[edgy stump]

Who’s harold?

[inner granite]

harold MY BAL...

[edgy stump]

But i think it’s specifically because of how the red hp bar works

[grave cradle]

Corruptor

[edgy stump]

Ahhh

Yeah, there’s a few instances of that in drg, but in that game you deplete the red hp bars by shooting the target

But because there can’t be more than 3 orbs, and i think tossing one in deals a fixed amount of damage, it would cause a much larger issue.

If the regen worked

Either that, or the grey bar would regenerate, but you damaged it down to the checkpoint before it could. I wouldn’t know, as I wasn’t there

Do i make sense?

[runic turtle]

Waiting patiently still for a playtester to upload a run with everything but the music turned down...

[weary marsh]

I do wonder if rogue core will have a endless mode

[tall plume]

nothing planned regarding that just yet

[glossy heath]

How does joining a game in the middle of a game work? Will a new player automatically get the option to choose upgrades or what?

[old swift]

you can't

[ashen condor]

They're at least thinking about it though. Might be able to join late further down the development line

[violet tendon]

I wouldn’t count on it. Late joining just doesn’t make a lot of sense for this kind of game.

[uneven carbon]

are people still being drafted for the alpha or is it more like a one time thing where they only pick one set off people and never expand it

[violet tendon]

they gave out a batch of keys on Tuesday, there will be more batches in the future (though we don’t know exactly when)

i believe the sign up is still open?

[wintry latch]

will there be anymore keys given out this month?

[astral sluice]

not gonna reply, learn to read 1 message above you ❤️

[wintry latch]

no i get that they gave out a bunch this tuesday

just asking if there will be anymore given out this month?

[native monolith]

No one knows. Including the devs

[wintry latch]

alright

[wind hollow]

hello, could you please tell us how the keys for Rogue Core are distributed?

[old swift]

carefully

[native monolith]

Random

[toxic herald]

@native monolith did you get in bro?

[native monolith]

Naur

[manic anchor]

Watching the GSG stream that was 2 days ago

They said about an email invite

[wind hollow]

I hope I get lucky, thanks for the reply.

[manic anchor]

Does anybody know what the email address is?

Of the sender

Gmail search is bad

[edgy stump]

I have a concept:
what if especially large rest zones, or “checkpoints,” had the option for late joiners to join with pre-packaged equipment/upgrades?

[native monolith]

Yeah, steam will email you

[edgy stump]

It’d need some workshopping

[manic anchor]

Alright

I assume not everyone who requested got an invite yet?

[native monolith]

Yes

I believe it was like 350?

Somewhere around there

[manic anchor]

350 were invited?

Oh 350k

Ig

[chrome sundial]

350

[manic anchor]

Ahh

[chrome sundial]

I dont think 350k requested access lmao

[toxic herald]

I believe in the next wave

Surely both of us will get in

[native monolith]

Well of course

[fallow grove]

I will

[native monolith]

It’s impossible we won’t

[glossy heath]

interesting idea, but some adaptation is needed because the window for this is very small right now

[true kite]

does anyone know if the devs are doing a payed playtest in CA and NYC next week? iv seen a link from good gamer group that seems very fishy

[runic turtle]

report them

as far as I'm aware anything regarding being accepted into playtests you would get a notification directly from steam

[true kite]

ya this was a link to a survey to sign up to get payed $150

[runic turtle]

or you would be invited by someone already in the playtest who has a +1 invite to give out but I'm fairly certain that would not involve clicking any links whatsoever

also ask yourself if that really makes sense lol

[median sleet]

anything that isn't through steam or from the official DRG e-mail is a scam

[olive hound]

"Hi, this is -insert name of GSG dev- and i need you credit card information for this awesome and brand new 'Rogue Core alpha test key entrance key alpha' "

[true kite]

ya i figured as much, just figured it was a good idea to say something

[sturdy blade]

When don't know when the next wave is, or which regions, or how many people

We just know there is at least 1 more wave happening sometime in the future

[true kite]

it wasnt anything like that. it was a link posted in a friends discord leading to a good gamer group signup survey in CA and NYC offering $150 to partake in a focus group

[sturdy blade]

Obvious scam is obvious

Dunno what else to say

[obtuse cloak]

Did they let more people in yet

[sturdy blade]

Nope, we only know at least 1 more wave will happen in the future, no idea when in the future tho

[obtuse cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/csgo-banging-table-angry-mad-rage-quit-gif-17478101

[sturdy blade]

Hard agree

[harsh lynx]

what's the difference between armour and hp?

[sturdy blade]

Armour, while you have it, provides % damage negation on hit.

Hp does not

[severe nymph]

Oh cool

The current armor seems a tad lacking

[sturdy blade]

Shield hp in drg doesn't provide dmg reduction, but it regenerates

[severe nymph]

From watching people play at least

[sturdy blade]

Nerfed in latest alpha patch

I'm on in it, but damn I have been keeping up with it lmao

[harsh lynx]

hm okay. Whats the difference between that and just giving extra health tho?

[sturdy blade]

I think Armour, from what I see, just needs to have a little more impact as the buffer between being able to tank a hit, and hits being lethal

[sturdy blade]

There's not much difference, but the main difference is that even if you have 1 point of armor, it still provides the full dmg negation effect for the next instance of damage

And why you wouldn't add more hp is because it adds another layer to gameplay, and lets you build around it if you desire

hp can be recovered naturally by red sugar and such too, but resupply pods in RC only replenish ammo and amour, not health

So the reason you don't just add more health is because unlike health, armor cannot be naturally obtained outside of resupplies and a few upgrades

[harsh lynx]

ah ok

[pulsar owl]

Is this really true?

Specifically, before the recent patch it was so that 66% of any damage was dealt to the armor, and 33% of it was dealt to the HP. I cannot recall if there was an additional dmg reduction before the split. But if the damage dealt to the armor would exceed the current armor would it not bleed into HP or would any overflow be ignored

I'm just tryna get my understanding correct

[sturdy blade]

Oh, so it's dmg splitting, not negation then

huh

[pulsar owl]

Of course I may not have the full picture, but I am confident in the damage splitting part of armor

[sturdy blade]

Cause if that's the case, then I can see why everyone's consensus is that it's really bad rn

[sturdy blade]

I based it off of how armor works in overwatch and assumed it worked the same

[pulsar owl]

First stream, around 1:35:10 or so is where I'm getting my info for armor

Thank goodness for YouTube transcripts

[sturdy blade]

[sweet cedar]

I'm touching my pick rn

Got nitra on my pick

[tight cargo]

is the game an infinite roguelike or are there like set limits on run lenght

[pulsar owl]

in the current moment, there are 3 difficulties, each with a set number of stages

[tight cargo]

ok i like it already

[severe nymph]

I'd definitely like a endless mode and you get exp or whatever matching how long you lasted in the caves

[inner granite]

Corespawns when dwarf shooting suns and 7 digits in health enters the room:

[severe nymph]

[pulsar owl]

scaling late game is always weird for most roguelites

[fervent citrus]

Endless mode may or may not come in the future, for now it's fixed lenght mission

[tight cargo]

but then they also scale to have 158727582510 health and deal 4151518785810dps

[leaden tusk]

Maybe a "tree" of encounter between mission (like in slay the spire), and then you can choose a longer path to finish the mission, i'd like that

[inner granite]

You may kill the god by just looking at it in lategame

But you are not immune to friendly fire

[fervent citrus]

They'd need the willy wonka elevator for that to work xD

[tight cargo]

driller when he gets a nuclear cluster c4 with heatseeking drone attached

[inner granite]

In most roguelites with inf scallint you yourself are biggest threat to you anyway

Noita is the best example

[tight cargo]

also is bosco in rogue core

[young vessel]

no

[inner granite]

No
We have cooper

[obtuse elm]

https://tenor.com/view/noita-bomb-explode-game-gif-16036675

[young vessel]

cooper 🤩

[tight cargo]

is it just a reskinned bosco?

[young vessel]

yes

[inner granite]

It's not possible
It's nessesary

[inner granite]

For now

[tight cargo]

imagine you can upgrade it lol

[inner granite]

Fake, that proper tank should explode

[tight cargo]

bosco when you give him a nuke railgun

also watching a vid rn why is omega so hateful for corespawn bruh

[median sleet]

They probably killed all the dwarves who where working there, disturbing mining operations

[tight cargo]

so is he mad about lives lost or profits lost

[median sleet]

It's DRG, so profits

[tight cargo]

also is it a person or an ai i actually cant tell

[inner granite]

AI

[median sleet]

AI

[young vessel]

its a weird Al

[median sleet]

Weird AI

goddamn

[finite laurel]

The core is cut off from outside communication so the dwarves carry a copy of Omega in their armor

Kind of like Cortana from Halo

[inner granite]

If something would cut off my labs and mines, i also would be pretty pissed off

[tight cargo]

anyways since we have rifts to the core in drg imagine if rogue core had events with rifts spawning glyphids

[inner granite]

Image secret boss
Omega goes rogue, tryes to kill dwarfs and we need to fight some big mechanoid

[median sleet]

IDK if the rifts are 'to the core'

[inner granite]

STEEVEEEEEEE

[median sleet]

there's a voiceline that calls them interdimensional rifts

[daring hill]

Tbh I don't like that

[inner granite]

STEEVE INCOMING

[tight cargo]

do not i repeat DO NOT tame a corespawn and call him greg

[tight cargo]

i mean what other dimension would have corespawn

[daring hill]

I prefer the idea of this all being hoxxes rather than "waow guys it's an alternate dimension!!!!!! Spooky!!!"

[inner granite]

Last time i called something greg is caused me to fall into madness

[tight cargo]

the dvarves say another dimension since they dont know about the core operations

[inner granite]

Void (?)

[sturdy blade]

If we are able to tame corespawn we must call them Greg

[tight cargo]

"i wonder what R&D wants with these corestones"

[inner granite]

Corestone looks pretty alien

[median sleet]

Well, it comes from a dwarf, and the dwarf could be wrong

[tight cargo]

were on an alien planet

what did you expect

[inner granite]

More alien

[inner granite]

A sandwich

[tight cargo]

you could pick more ammo or a sandwich

[inner granite]

Sandwich

I pick sandwich

🥪

[daring hill]

Anyway, after playing the alpha almost non-stop for 10-12 hours total, going back to normal DRG is gonna feel weird

[tight cargo]

also i love how the reclaimers love elis but base game dvarwes hate molly

[daring hill]

Note this is total, I did not do an entire 10-12 hour session

[inner granite]

We are in love-hate relationship with molly

[tight cargo]

"get your tin ass over here and hurry please"
"molly i miss you girl"

the duality of dwarf

[inner granite]

"when molly is around, she's a pain in the ass, but when she's not, i really miss her"

[tight cargo]

anyways why is elis called elis

[inner granite]

Do you have a problem with ellie ):<

[chrome sundial]

You said non-stop LIER!!

[neat acorn]

it's not cool when we don't have a mule!

[tight cargo]

no

[severe nymph]

Ellie is Cook

Cool

Damn you autocorrect

[tight cargo]

just why ellie of all things

[severe nymph]

Wdym

[tight cargo]

i mean dvarves have to eat smth down there

[severe nymph]

Mmmm metal

[tight cargo]

and since you cant bring anything bc lore reasons

[severe nymph]

Yummers

[chrome sundial]

It's short for Elmer's glue ♥️

[tight cargo]

ellie is equipped with a cooker

[severe nymph]

She had a built in shwarma cooker

[tight cargo]

wait if u cant bring any gear bc lore how tf are u bringing ellie and cooper

[severe nymph]

Idk

[tight cargo]

also i love the clamorhead design

peak tanky enemy

[severe nymph]

I mean I guess the dwarves are aware they'll get there gear at the beginning part

[tight cargo]

looks both goofy and menacing

[severe nymph]

It's cool yeah

[finite laurel]

Originally called Rippley but they decided it was too on the nose

[severe nymph]

The yeller

[finite laurel]

I don't really like the name Ellis tbh

[severe nymph]

I think it's fine

[tight cargo]

can i call him steeve

[finite laurel]

Not when the acronym is REPD

[severe nymph]

It fits the sleekness of the drone

[inner granite]

Call her Ellie

Sounds better

[finite laurel]

I just think of the hillbilly from L4D2

[tight cargo]

fuck it im opening a rift to the surface just so i can kidnap a steeve

[severe nymph]

Molly's name works cus it sounds like an old lady name which Molly definitely acts like

[tight cargo]

i mean she wanders around aimlessly like one

[finite laurel]

Also because it matches with MULE, same with BETC being betsy

[severe nymph]

Good ol alliteration

[finite laurel]

And Doretta from Drilldozer

[tight cargo]

wait since you can combine gear from diffrent drg classes

[finite laurel]

I wonder what the new Cooper drone will look like in the final game

[tight cargo]

i can actually minigun scout?

hell yeah

[severe nymph]

Yep

[finite laurel]

Currently it's just Bosco with the military skin but I imagine in the final game it'll look totally different

[severe nymph]

Though I've seen the grappling hook and it's nkt guaranteed to have as much range as in drg

[finite laurel]

Is the minigun in RC?

[severe nymph]

I saw someone get it and it's max range was like 20m

[finite laurel]

I've seen the thunderhead

[inner granite]

It will be just bosco with mask of cooper from interstellar

[severe nymph]

Yerp

[tight cargo]

will probably be eventually

[finite laurel]

Or Cooper from Titanfall 2...

[tight cargo]

pretty sure they added all drg weapons to the beta cuz it would be easy content

the textures and stuff are already there

so might aswell

[severe nymph]

I do hope for more unique weapons

What we have now all look pretty cool

[tight cargo]

anyways is the crossbow the only weapon that changes visually based on upgrades?

(in base game)

[finite laurel]

I can only watch videos and streams but I haven't seen everything yet

[severe nymph]

Maybe

Think so

[finite laurel]

Crossbow and coilgun being two big ones for me

[tight cargo]

imagine if there was a 5 arrow volley version

[finite laurel]

It is

That version they made in the anniversary stream as a joke that was just a wall of 50 bolts

[tight cargo]

magnetic shafts = profit

bulk det when i put 50 arrows in its ass

[severe nymph]

[finite laurel]

During the stream there was a topic of re-rolling items, I think each player should have one reroll per stage in a mission, but you can only roll on a grey item

[severe nymph]

Maybe maybe

Why Grey specifically

[finite laurel]

They will on average be the least desirable, and also ensures a troll couldn't re-roll something really special

[severe nymph]

Yeah dat makes sense

Facts and logic win again

[red badger]

i assume overclocks will not be present

[severe nymph]

No

[finite laurel]

Kind of, in today's stream the devs mentioned legendary weapons could spawn with an overclock

[severe nymph]

Woukd defeat the purpose kf weapons having random stats in some ways

[severe nymph]

Oooooh

[finite laurel]

So like, you can find a PGL in a crate that has fatboy

[severe nymph]

Oh god

Not again

[vocal jewel]

ngl legendary weapons are kinda bait

[finite laurel]

Some of the iconic unstable ones could make it in

[vocal jewel]

u often find an upgrade thing early on before u get a 2nd weapon so u miss out on an upgrade

[severe nymph]

Elaborate

[vocal jewel]

but if you upgrade yourself u get to pick the best of 2 options

[olive hound]

I don't see people giving up something like that easily...

[finite laurel]

Even better, with all the other stat rolls you could get a PGL that has three grenades in the chamber

[vocal jewel]

if u get the legendary u might get a worse option than if you picked

[olive hound]

Making legendary weapons a rare occurrence will only make infights

[vocal jewel]

so its better to pick a good blue or purple weapon with good modifiers on it instead of a less powerful yellow

ofc if its a good weapon with good modifiers then you win the jackpot

[severe nymph]

Hmm

[finite laurel]

We'll have to wait and see, that's how the game works

[severe nymph]

Changing the subject but I REALLY hope they put dash back in

[vocal jewel]

you can already get dash

[severe nymph]

I love dash

Oh

Well

Hooray!

Mission accomplished

[vocal jewel]

it just involves stacking enough copies of movement speed on reload

lol

[severe nymph]

Okay see that's not the same

[vocal jewel]

no its better cuz dash has a cooldown

[fickle abyss]

i want to see the programmers play and absolutely clean house, if i remember correctly, the ones playing on stream are just artists and pr

[hollow bear]

Dash isn't really necessary with all the movement perks available already imo

[severe nymph]

I dont think the devs are particularly good at there game

I feel like alot of devs aren't like super good at there games moat the time

[sturdy blade]

Which is why we should suggest yellow weapons are allowed to get overclocks from weapon stations

[inner granite]

That's common in game dev
They don't spend 25h per day playing ranked, they spend that time making the game

[severe nymph]

Exactly

[inner granite]

Late game feedback comes from lategame players

[vocal jewel]

yeah having something to do with a weapon after its yellow would be nice

[inner granite]

Why waste time trying to be good, if you can ask someone who is always gonna be better than you, aka other players?

[severe nymph]

Or maybe make a new station dedicated to giving overclocks?

[sturdy blade]

Being able to choose between 2-3 OCs at weapon stations would be nice

[sturdy blade]

Would clutter vectors

[vocal jewel]

the skillset for being good at game is also different than the skillset for making good game

though there is overlap

[inner granite]

Coding is a logic puzzle, where game is a skill check

[vocal jewel]

ppl who are good at games generally have a pretty solid understanding of the impact that certain changes will have on the game which is super valuable for game design

[sturdy blade]

GTFO devs not even knowing if their game was possible to beat

[severe nymph]

Yeah fair I suppose

[vocal jewel]

ftl devs thought the game would have maybe 10% winrate and the top winrate rn is 98% so ye

big gap

[severe nymph]

But I do think it should it's own separate thing

[vocal jewel]

glad rogue core has players testing

[sturdy blade]

Players are able to ‘sense’ things the devs usually can’t

Like how players immediately find a meta that devs overlook

[static seal]

Did Someone Know If It's Possible To Me Start Play Rogue Core This Week? I Subscribed To Test Yesterday

[inner granite]

GTFO is hell on earth

[sturdy blade]

No clue when next wave happens, and it’s not likely that it’s soon.

[golden rampart]

You might get lucky when they push out the next wave of playtesting

[sturdy blade]

GTFO is just a straight up “friendship issue” for me

[static seal]

Ty For The Info Guys ❤️

[inner granite]

Why Do You Write Like That
It Is Annoying To Read

[sturdy blade]

If I had 3 more versions of me to play, it’s peak

[inner granite]

Nah
It's frendship removal

GOD DAMN MARK, I TOLD YOU TO SHOOT

[static seal]

It's A Mental Problem, IDK How It's Called For You, But In Brazil It's Transtorno Obsessivo Compulsivo

[sturdy blade]

OCD

[inner granite]

Ouh

Good luck out there

[static seal]

Ty

[severe nymph]

What's the name of the one rc gun that fires two shots at once

I'm forgor

It's similar to the gk2 in size and general shooting style

I simply forgot the name

[native monolith]

P-96 mag blaster

[severe nymph]

Yeah that thing rules

It looks very cool

And the reload animation is sick as well

[orchid oracle]

reminds me of a pp19 bizon

[severe nymph]

The who

[patent garden]

did anyone who isn't an influencer get into rouge core ?😭

[old swift]

im highly influential

so i suppose not

(yes, people were randomly picked)

[patent garden]

worst

[orchid oracle]

it's a weird gun irl that has a cylindrical magazine at the bottom of the barrel

the reload for the mag blaster kind of reminds me of the reload for that weapon

[severe nymph]

I see

Neato

[orchid oracle]

i like weird and obscure guns :3

i.e. whatever keltech manufacturers

[severe nymph]

That's rad

[median raven]

The reclaimers got the budget

Whilst miners get the equipment that works well enough

[jovial walrus]

Reclaimers don’t even have the budget to bring their own weapons with them 😭

[median raven]

I mean they have power swords though

[glossy burrow]

Rogue Core when fr

[safe stream]

did people already get acceptred to playtest?

[glossy burrow]

yup, think so

[ruby root]

They got accepted at around the beginning of this week

[supple pike]

I'm excited to play next test, fingers crossed. watching the videos about it is very fun.

[severe nymph]

I'm so stoked about it

[supple pike]

excited to try out the funny new guns like that explodey pistol

[severe nymph]

I like the gun you stick your fingy in

The electric one

[tiny beacon]

the humble greyout:

[rare dune]

or maybe they just have the nerves to go in without them

[native monolith]

I think the reclaimers are just bad enough dudes to go in with only their rippling muscles

[glossy heath]

the machine can improve weapons infinitely or is there a conditional limit of 10 improvements? I assumed that there is a limit, which also counts those improvements that come from rarity, and I realized that gray level weapons become not the same and weak

[native monolith]

Form what I recall there is a limit on weapon perks

I’ve never seen it but I assume that you just can’t put anything on a legendary weapon at a work bench

[lapis rune]

4 mods at a time

[lapis rune]

rarity is the amount of mods on it

[sturdy blade]

Having the option to play using only your fists would be badass

[severe nymph]

thatd be funny

just go full berserk and just rip n tear through the bugs

maybe there could be another class that has a big punch or something

they did definetly make is clear they wanna add more classes so i dont see why not

[young vessel]

they should make a class that has ~1,000 unique voicelines for their ability and they're all one-liners

and also it buffs your team or something but the one-liners is the main thing

[severe nymph]

true the voiclines do nothing at all but are just cool

[severe nymph]

thats like some dnd shit

there is one bard spell idk what ts called but basically you tell the enemy that theyre stinky or whatever and they take psychic damage

[north steeple]

vicious mockery

[native monolith]

Fuck I was gonna make that joke

“YOURE SO UGLY YOU HAVE TO WEAR A SKULL JUST TO GO OUTSIDE”

500 damage to corespawn crawler

[severe nymph]

Yes thank you

[severe nymph]

Actually woukd be peak

[north steeple]

as opposed to the one where you tell a funny joke and they fall over in crippling laughter, or tasha's hideous laughter

[severe nymph]

Who the freak is tasha

[north steeple]

The Witch Queen Tasha

one of the most powerful mortals in all of D&D canon, and writer of Tasha's Cauldron of Everything

[severe nymph]

Intriguing

Very neat

[north steeple]

powerful enough that she can be your warlock patron

Sorry, turned into a nerd for a moment there, excuse me

[red badger]

New damage type released: Emotional

[gaunt nebula]

Lovecraft's mom made him wear a paper bag on his head when going out so "no one can see how ugly you are"

She was later admitted to a mental institution and Lovecraft himself definitely suffered emotional damage.

Also: is this very hard on solo?
I was just completely destroyed 😅 rather embarrassing

[upbeat robin]

nearly completed a faculity 1 run on my second try

lost because i died in the hole with the gate in it

and got pushed through the floor over and over again by the boss

other thing is there are still some bosco voicelines when you command the cooper to pick up items

[severe nymph]

Makes sense

Legally distinct bosco

[glass nexus]

they better give me the play test.... you wont like me when im angry 🐺 😈

[tall dust]

ill snatch your playtest and eat it

[magic isle]

I wish the Rogue Core playtest was real

[severe nymph]

It is we just don't

[magic isle]

Watching every bit of content about it currently, hopefully we’ll join in soon

[severe nymph]

Ture

True

I just recently saw use of the devastor pistol

I think it's called that

The exploder

It looks really cool

Fast fire rate with high damage

[magic isle]

I’m definitely trying slasher

Finally, I can melee the bugs

Corespawn also look pretty awesome

Gross looking swarmers especially

[severe nymph]

Yeah

The bugs are even grosser

Just in general

[edgy stump]

Does anyone have any info on the exact behavior of the reclaimer gauntlets? I heard that guardian is the only one with dual-purpose gauntlets, so i wanted to make some concepts of an alternative use for the other reclaimer’s gauntlets, maybe to help differentiate them more, but i don’t know how exactly they function in the first place

[old swift]

slicer's is a short range wide slice, spotter shoots a dart that either pings + guarantees crits on one single enemy, or pings + guarantees crits on any enemy that enters the aoe when it hits the floor

falconer's shoots swarmers

you can target specific enemies but it's not really capable past swarmers

[pulsar owl]

Well, falconer electrocutes, does that not stun enemies for a short while, or at least slow

And falconer you can set and forget, paired with synergy and you can have the birb out as long as there's things to shoot

[jaunty sparrow]

When is videogame out

[blissful geyser]

Public early access will be Nov-December of this year

[jaunty sparrow]

Can't wait till dwarves become real on November

[hard shale]

Graphics update?? What do you mean by dwarfes becoming real?

[wanton sandal]

did anyone get an email for the alpha test? If so, how long did it take to get it?

[weary torrent]

The second wave of keys ain't out yet

[runic pivot]

the current ammount of people in it is extremely small for now, don't hold your breath

[wanton sandal]

gotcha, i wont hold my breath then

[vocal jewel]

if you do hold your breath make sure to stay near a resupply pod or other sources of air

[daring hill]

ive said this before but that second wave cant come soon enough

I want more people to play with

theres only 70 people at absolute max

out of probably 250-300 people

[vocal jewel]

i think its been pretty effective for their goal of getting initial feedback and bug reports

i remember during s4 and s5 experimental for drg the amount of players was obviously much higher and the result was a lot more people going off-topic and a lot more duplicate feedback and reports

[old swift]

there would def be an overwhelming flood of "can't load" bug reports right now i think

[near leaf]

Im excited to try the game cause it looks really cool, but im also curious if i can run it

[silk magnet]

same

[median oar]

man

i just started my run and my weapon choices are 3 pistols

[crystal echo]

Morning reclaimers.

[median oar]

and also a legendary flare gun

[crystal echo]

Have fun silly.

[inner granite]

Take it

Blast horrors with god's light

[median oar]

its full auto

[vocal jewel]

i love it when i get full auto + fire rate + duration on flaregun

i really want this specific part of the cave to burn like a supernova and then have no ammo for the rest of the run

[median oar]

IT HAS DAMAGE INCREASE

[vocal jewel]

holy pog

[median oar]

wait

i got a voiceline that said

what happened during the gray out, nobody knows, but it wasnt good

lore????????

[silk magnet]

YOOOOO

[median oar]

ooh i got a lead storm

[echo oxide]

do hope we get lucky with the next key wave, missed the beta by a day, have folks been enjoying it so far?

[silk magnet]

yea

looks cool ngl i also didnt get a key :/

[echo oxide]

it'll come in time, i'm sure

[silk magnet]

hope

[median oar]

its real fun

but its bette to play when more polished

its got quite a few bugs

[near leaf]

That’s my favorite part of drg tho

[echo oxide]

as to be expected as an early early unstable closed beta

[echo oxide]

exploding you /lh

[near leaf]

Ok bulk detanator

[silk magnet]

wait there is bulks in rogue core?

[daring hill]

yep

expenite crassus

as part of a event

[silk magnet]

YOOO

cool

[inner granite]

Steeve exp bulk!

[median oar]

repd does a little dance when you rock and stone

some other events are this mini mule uplink thing

[signal moon]

GSG give me access to Rogue core and my life is yours

[severe nymph]

It's like some fucked up expirement

[silk magnet]

bro dont spoil the lore

i wanne find out when i get a key {hopfully}

[severe nymph]

It's very much just visual storytelling

[silk magnet]

or buy the game {my whole life savings}

[severe nymph]

True

[uncut folio]

Of all the enemies that return in rogue core…

…everyone’s favorite…

…leech

(One of them single-handedly ended my first run)

[signal moon]

Im legit scared shitless of leecches still

[uncut folio]

Same

[calm yoke]

Should I be concerned the number of closed alpha testers dropped so quickly?

[uncut folio]

It’s got to a point I actually hear them most of the time now

Which has saved my ass many times in rogue core

[signal moon]

didnt know they have a distinct sound

btw love yourr videos

[midnight totem]

The core got to them

[uncut folio]

Wym?

[daring hill]

Honestly? Not really. I think everything that could be feedbacked has something said about it

[calm yoke]

From 280 went down to less than 40 in less than 3 days.

[daring hill]

And there are over 400 bugs reported

[uncut folio]

Day 1 is going to have a lot more hype and more players, can’t expect it to stay at that high for too long

[midnight totem]

Exactly

[signal moon]

also I think most ppl would like to play with friends

which isnt exactly possible atm

[daring hill]

There's also a bug where players straight up fail to load

Which is. A problem for sure

[vocal jewel]

yeah

[uncut folio]

Think of it this way

[vocal jewel]

having to restart my game multiple times to get a multiplayer session going is a very annoying hurdle

[uncut folio]

Once you guys who didn’t get in yet do get in, it’ll be more stable

[vocal jewel]

and there are occasional crashes during missions even if you do get in

[signal moon]

Is this game running on Uneal 5 by chance?

[uncut folio]

Yes

[daring hill]

I think its mainly because everything that needs to be said has been said. There isn't a ton of reason to play for feedback/bug reporting until the next invite wave or major update

400 bugs after all

[signal moon]

Might also be ppl having issues with the i9 14900 series

[uncut folio]

Tbf there are players (like me) who are still playing in the interest of really understanding the game to give feedback, and/or because it just really clicked with us

[signal moon]

they wont run unreal 5 games well,

[uncut folio]

It’s a lot more fast paced than DRG I’ll say that

There’s effectively a hard limit to how long you can spend in a stage, and you really want to manage that timer, because the endless swarm stacks with the elevator swarm

[signal moon]

I'm lookiing forward to the next invite wave

[uncut folio]

Get as much done as you can in a stage, but start booting the elevator right before the clock ticks down

[signal moon]

super pumped about a new DRG Game

[uncut folio]

Nice thing is that you always know when non-triggered waves will occur now

Since the next one is always marked on the timer

[bold hawk]

Well from what i have heard there is only one difficulty right... How bad is it?

[daring hill]

Yep. I'm a little scared for the "culture shock" that will happen when more people get access

It plays very differently

Those who play haz3 only will NOT have a good time

[signal moon]

I think it playing diffrently is a good thing

[uncut folio]

There’s kind of 3 difficulties
