rogue-core-chat

[daring hill]

Oh yeah for sure

[uncut folio]

But they’re definitely not final and just some presets

[daring hill]

3 difficulties. Each one increases enemy difficulty in unspecified ways, and adds an extra stage

[uncut folio]

But even the first one is pretty tough, it really holds you accountable for managing your time

[daring hill]

From 4 stages up to 6

[bold hawk]

Sounds fun

[daring hill]

The 6 stage one gives you time to pull some CRAZY builds and also enjoy it

[uncut folio]

Agreed

The length of the first one is comparable to a deep dive I’d say

[olive narwhal]

You are certainly in for the long haul on 6 stage

[uncut folio]

Yeah I’ve only beaten the 6 stage in singleplayer

I REALLY want to beat it in multiplayer though, got the 5 stage that way and it felt good as fuck

Also the timer ticking down sound effect is terrifying

If you hear it and the elevator isn’t already starting up, oh boy you might be fucked

[bold hawk]

Is there as many horrors as a haz 5 core stone event or is there more?

[uncut folio]

Honestly, a timer expired elevator charge up is maybe a bit worse

Especially since no zip line cheese

[bold hawk]

Can't wait to slice them up like butter when that happens

[uncut folio]

No acid blood tho

[signal moon]

oh god the core stone events are brutal

[bold hawk]

Also how do the upgrades feal right now? And are there any stat upgrades?

[uncut folio]

Hit or miss sometimes, but some very fun

Double jump is a thing

[silk magnet]

WHAATTT????

thats crazy

[uncut folio]

It’s also stackable if it pops up again

[median sleet]

And it's a white upgrade

I think it might need to get changed to green

[daring hill]

I want to make a scout tf2 build

[uncut folio]

It’s very powerful IF you remember you have it

That goes for a lot of builds in this game

They’re very reliant on the player being aware they have them

[vocal jewel]

grenades

xd

[uncut folio]

Cool you grabbed drivers C4, it’s only powerful if you remember to actually use it

[bold hawk]

My problem is i forget i don't have em the next run

[uncut folio]

So your playstyle is constantly changing since your arsenal grows really fast

[vocal jewel]

"oh yeah i can take falldamage"

[uncut folio]

You need to switch your brain from using one weapon to 2 once you acquire a second, or else you’ll be making inefficient use of ammo

[bold hawk]

I remember after i die to falldamage

[uncut folio]

And that really messes with you if you come from DRG since you’re not used to the guns you have changing thoughout a mission

[bold hawk]

Well what if you have a lot of rouglike experience?
And no DRG experience?

[uncut folio]

You probably will get less tripped up by that

Since you’ll have the impulse to try new gun since every gun you get is new to you

[bold hawk]

Fair

[pulsar owl]

Is pre charging the elevator a possible thing in runs?

[uncut folio]

And I don’t think this is an issue with the games design, it’s just a matter of player skill and adaptability, which the game clearly encourages

[uncut folio]

Nope, Ellis has to go do it

Meaning you can’t deposit expenite for the rest of that stage

[bold hawk]

I am guessing the first time i play i am going to see a good weapon from DRG or a fully new one and not use the old ones

[pulsar owl]

A shame

[uncut folio]

It’s a good choice tbh

Otherwise the meta would be to charge it ASAP and do everything else instead of doing it last and giving the stage a climax

[uncut folio]

Depends on your style, you’ll probably lean towards your favorite returning weapons as well

[bold hawk]

I am going to forget that i don't have a grappling hook if i get a scout weapon or the engi granade launcher

[uncut folio]

When you DO get it, you’ll forget you have it

But I had it and the platform gun at the same time once

[vocal jewel]

nah grapple i will remember

[uncut folio]

It’s because you don’t get it first

[bold hawk]

I will probably try to jump with the granade launcher and kill myself trying

Btw how did everyones 1st run go?

[calm yoke]

I noticed from a video that deposit cancelling is still a thing here.

Since the game leans more on time efficiency, think there will be elitists who will kick you for not using the trick?

I for once never used it simply because it hurts my eyes to see. And I mean physically, not just because it looks ugly, I think it's the flashing.

[olive narwhal]

Being honest i have not noticed a huge difference between canceling and not personally

[tall plume]

The deposit is pretty fast so I've never felt like I needed to deposit cancel tbh

You can even deposit in Ellis while it's flying before it lands next to you

so it's faster in more ways than one

[tacit urchin]

The pickaxe cancel is also in the game btw

Isn't that much faster though

[tall plume]

same, haven't really felt the need to pickaxe cancel

it was already such a meager gain in DRG (like 2-3% extra speed compared to regular mining) and mining is made better in RC too

I don't see a reason to remove those mechanics though

[tacit urchin]

Oh, I joined a completely bugged lobby with like 8 dwarfs and Aaron later joined it, he also took the screenshot of it

[vocal jewel]

its more relevant in drg because the golden lootbug filled my inventory and my nitra is hiding behind it

[old swift]

ive still been deposit cancelling out of habit

[tacit urchin]

I don't even know how to lol

[old swift]

idk if it's actually faster

[vocal jewel]

have u had any issues with ellis doing weird things

like how molly stands up and walks 1m and sits back down if you deposit cancel

[old swift]

fortunately not

[tall plume]

the only issue I have with Ellis is how jumping will not count you in the upgrade circle

[vocal jewel]

upgrade circle should be bigger in general imo

[tall plume]

💯

good idea

[tacit urchin]

I had her land in a completely different spot to where I called her too once

[tall plume]

should throw that in the feedback thread

[vocal jewel]

ive had too many close calls where i nearly fell down a cliff because i bounced on someones head trying to get into the circle

[old swift]

still have the weird thing where sometimes it'll just land like 3 meters above where i called

[tall plume]

yeah it happens

but at least she moves fast

[vocal jewel]

ye

[tacit urchin]

Also... she looks like a catloaf when sitting

It's pretty cute ngl

[tall plume]

oh my god, I had this happen so many times

even got killed once by it

[vocal jewel]

it can also be a bit hard to figure out where exactly she lands

[old swift]

no headbounce in rogue core surely

[vocal jewel]

molly makes that big loud noise when sitting down so you have directional audio + time to react before you can deposit anyway

[old swift]

it's really awkward on the elevators

[tacit urchin]

Wait, she doesn't make a sound at all?

[old swift]

ive taken nearly half my hp in damage just by getting bumped off someone's head

[tacit urchin]

I didn't even bother to check

[vocal jewel]

im spoiled by no dwarf collision playing modded drg engipain

[old swift]

i prefer headstacking anyway

[tacit urchin]

It can be fun sometimes

or you can save somebody with it

[tall plume]

actually used it to get a camera once

[vocal jewel]

its fun when you want to do it

[tall plume]

just bumped up my friend up there to grab it

[vocal jewel]

but 95% of the time when it happens you didn't want it to

[tacit urchin]

Yeah, did fall once

[vocal jewel]

and without shields to soak up falldamage its way more frustrating than when it happens in drg

[old swift]

headstacking could do this too

[tacit urchin]

Was funny for me so no complains

[old swift]

and it looks funnier

[vocal jewel]

in drg i take 30 damage oh well i lost 5 hp time to cry about it

[tall plume]

yes

[hasty rain]

This was an issue I saw in the vids I watched
I don’t have access so I can’t test it, but from what I saw it looks like fall damage bypasses armor? And fall damage behaves roughly the same otherwise
Which… given how common it is in DRG to get suddenly yeeted by terrain is absolutely going to wind up a problem

[tall plume]

IMO it felt worse when it was destroying your armor

I'm fine with it bypassing it

still feels pretty bad to get damage from falling but you really end up changing your movement behaviour fast due to that, IMO

[hasty rain]

imo
the shield is what lets DRG get away with having such comically intense "i dropped down 5 feet and twisted my ankle" fall damage
without that (see: shield disruption), it goes from 'ever so mildly annoying' to 'immensely frustrating'
especially since, again, it's very common to get suddenly yeeted by terrain in DRG

[vocal jewel]

yeah bypassing armor is a good thing

there are some upgrades that rely on your armor being above a certain level and having those go off because i bumped someones head and took 30 falldamage would be very frustrating

[tall plume]

The terrain yeeting definitely need more addressing in RC, though I find it doesn't happen nearly as often: caves are overall less complex to navigate so you have less chance of that happening in general.

[vocal jewel]

i wonder how much of that lower complexity is the product of being in alpha though

[tall plume]

Also there's no such thing like barrels, acorns or the likes who can yeet you around

[tall plume]

there is that one perk that only works at max HP though...

But at least there are perks for red sugar and that one regen artifact so it's not as bad as armor going "poof"

[fringe narwhal]

The dreaded tumbleweed

[tall plume]

when the armor is gone, you can only rely on supply pod to get it back. There is that one armor regen perk but I've never really seen it do much work. Maybe if you get lucky enough to stack it, it could be good?

[vocal jewel]

even when i stacked it it was pretty mediocre

[tacit urchin]

Oh, that upgrade sucks. Wish it was like 90% and above hp to trigger it

[vocal jewel]

if you have 70 armor and you get 2% back on kill and you kill 10 enemies you get 14 armor

[hasty rain]

I saw a video where someone got two instances of it and they immediately became nearly immortal

[tacit urchin]

Or even lower % but not full hp, which you rarely have

[vocal jewel]

14 !!! wow pog

[tall plume]

same

[tall plume]

such a bargain!

(so fucking bad, oh my god)

[tacit urchin]

Temporary hp on slicer is insane if you get 2 ngl

Like even the swarmers replenish it

[tall plume]

yeah temporary HP is pretty good

but the armor regen perk? meeeeh

[vocal jewel]

even picking +armor things feels pointless

i get +20 armor i get hit one its gone

i get ammo i have 10 extra i get hit once its gone

[tall plume]

I've had a run where I stacked armor up to 215

it was pretty good

[tacit urchin]

Any perks you had that replenished it?

[tall plume]

but I had to stack it for it to shine, and pick armor related perks (which the game generously offered to me, I got lucky)

[tall plume]

funnily enough, it's the one perk I didn't get for it

[tacit urchin]

Oh lmao

[vocal jewel]

meanwhile i had 2 vampire + an artifact for power attack recharge and temp hp and i felt like i couldnt die anymore

[tacit urchin]

Guardian, I assume?

[vocal jewel]

lmao

[tall plume]

I was playing guardian, yeah, and stacked all the armor enhancement I had (except one I think)

[vocal jewel]

i feel like armor needs something going for it at baseline

[tall plume]

I'm not sure why armor got nerfed again tbh

[tacit urchin]

Wish guardian was leaning a lot more into armour, instead of having less damage taken upgrades

[vocal jewel]

you pretty much require synergy for armor to be meaningful and it doesn't have good synergies

[tacit urchin]

I imagine we'll get more upgrades later too

[vocal jewel]

and a lot of the armor synergy you come across are "x thing happens when you have armor" but how am i supposed to have the armor for it

and sure armor from ammo box

but if i heal 200 hp by taking +20 hp i probably net more than all ammo boxes throughout a run if i take +armor

[tacit urchin]

Would be cool to include some kind of Transcendence from RoR2 similar artifact
Basically converting all your hp into armour and giving it some kind of regen

[median oar]

man bugs be wack, this guy im with just fell through the floor while trying to push escape button

[tall plume]

yeah

sometimes it can be hard to judge perks because there's just not a lot of them

[vocal jewel]

ye

[tacit urchin]

Agreed

[vocal jewel]

and some ideas are easier to build upon

[gritty matrix]

hey thats me

[vocal jewel]

there's a bit of an overabundance of melee stuff rn but that's mostly because there's not enough other things

[gritty matrix]

:)

[median oar]

hi wingus

[tall plume]

yeah, and I think they also pushed them a bit because they wanted to see how people would feel about those perks and melee in general

[vocal jewel]

honestly melee feels p good when you get it going

[tall plume]

that's just my assuption though

[tacit urchin]

I feel like they should add a unique icon for upgrades that come in different qualities (Red sugar one)

[tall plume]

agreed, melee works surprisingly well

[hasty rain]

I'm assuming a supply still only gives 50% armor
Which, given last I saw yous tart with 30 max armor
15 armor isn't even a single hit worth from what I saw lmao

[vocal jewel]

yup the armor from supplies is borderline worthless

in drg i can resupply in combat for a 75% heal and actually stay alive bcuz of it

[tacit urchin]

I mean... would save from a swarmer

maybe 2

[vocal jewel]

in rogue core if you resupply during combat you take like 50 damage and you gain 20 armor back wow good trade

[tacit urchin]

Feels like there's a lot more sugar in the RC

[vocal jewel]

or you take 150 damage bcuz you first have to open the ammo box

yes

and the red sugar healing perks are quite good

idk if they are intended to give movement speed though

they might be a bit too good with the move speed but without the move speed they're a lot less interesting

[tall plume]

don't think so

but I think it"s fine to keep it this way

[tacit urchin]

Feels like just a nice little bonus most of the time

[vocal jewel]

for right now i don't think it does much to make minor number tweaks to stuff that's performing well

better to wait until the difficulty level of the game is established better before you start doing micro level balancing

[gritty matrix]

the only time armour has felt useful is when ive gotten that perk that regens armour on kill

[vocal jewel]

i think that perk is placebo more than actually useful

[median oar]

THERES A GRAPPLING HOOK

[vocal jewel]

yes

its very good

[hasty rain]

It basically upgrades your armor into a clunky shield (one that regens through violence)
so
it'd make the reclaimers approach being half as advanced and geared as the miners lmao

[vocal jewel]

i think if you got armor on kill as a built-in mechanic it would make armor way more effective

it would make more sense as a replacement for shields if it could be regained while still requiring you to put in effort to get it instead of it regenerating for free

and that would make +armor already have something to interact with

[hasty rain]

I've played games where enemies drop armor pickups. Ones other than nuDoom.
It's a good way to encourage "kill fast, kill often, kill close"

[vocal jewel]

yea

vermintide and darktide both also have mechanics where you're encouraged to fight enemies

[hasty rain]

If they drop it as a passive-pickup (ie. like red sugar) that would actually open an opportunity for the team to help each other a bit rather than needing to worry about last-hitting.
If armor must be super special, making the pickups have a limited lifetime would work

[vocal jewel]

i think having it drop as a pickup would very quickly result in performance issues and visual clutter during later stages with high enemy counts

[old swift]

the world needs more golden bugs-like modifiers

[median oar]

mission name is crying wealth

thats so deep </3

[hasty rain]

Lately I have been playing a lot of solo DRG with MCR
This is relevant, I swear
In MCR, there's an option to have mineral drops periodically 'clump' together (ie. you have 5 chunks of morkite near each other, they clump into one bigger morkite with the combined value of all 5 chunks) specifically to help with performance

[gritty matrix]

did you died

[median oar]

game crash...

</3

[gritty matrix]

damn

[median oar]

rip epic m1000 and epic autocannon

it crashed while i was in the space rig

yeah nah im playing drg survivor

[gritty matrix]

ok bye

[median oar]

where is drg survivor chat i NEED to chat about drg survivor

[signal moon]

isnt a ggg game

GSG sry

[tall plume]

it has a whole discord - because it's made by Funday Games

link is pinned in #drg-chat

[median oar]

wonderful

[manic sleet]

will there be mod support? custom crosshairs, better fov settings etc.?

[lilac heart]

I don’t think it’s been planned/confirmed, but RC will likely also be as ripped apart (by the modding community) as DRG was

[tall plume]

nothing planned so far for mod support

[real wharf]

Any chance we can get the RC zip speeds in DRG?

[sharp kite]

Hello, can anyone send an invite for early access?

[signal moon]

I think you just need to register on steam

for an possible invite

[sharp kite]

I requested access but did not win

[signal moon]

then you probably get an invite next wave

[lilac heart]

Then wait for another round. Anyone who got invited would have to have you in their friends list for 30 days to gift it to you anyway

[sharp kite]

When will it happen?

[signal moon]

Dont know if theyve disclosed when invite waves happen

[hollow bear]

They have not

[signal moon]

so my guess is as good as yours

[sharp kite]

Ow 😦

[tall plume]

No begging.

[calm yoke]

Even if I say pwetty pwease?

[edgy stump]

Damn

Didn’t get lucky

[crystal echo]

24hour user peak was 86 players mate so you had to be REAL lucky to get in haha

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

Maybe next week more of us will be the lucky ones 🙂

Devs are working their asses of probably to stay on top of this... they have the momentum now

[edgy stump]

So

What you’re saying is that every week i don’t score the chance, my chances increase by a small amount?

[acoustic ginkgo]

I do not know those odds but I nonetheless like them

[finite laurel]

I doubt the waves will be once a week but more or less, yes

Unless more people sign up for the alpha than people get let in ofc

[frigid path]

Mission Control doesn’t want you to know this but you can get to the Rogue Core by digging straight down for a couple months

[finite laurel]

If you sell your soul to Aaron I think your chances increase by 10%

It only just occured to me that the Slicer's helmet is a medieval armet/close helm

That's cool

[native monolith]

How will we get past the barrier?

[frigid path]

You gotta eat rocks for breakfast every day

[median sleet]

You dig under it

(you can actually dig under the barrier RN)

[native monolith]

LMAO

I really hope that’s kept in a voice line joke when it’s fixed

“Couldn’t we just dig under the barrier?”

[median sleet]

Have the AI get mad when you try it

[native monolith]

“I was told you have HIGHER intelligence scores than the other divisions…”

[fringe narwhal]

Speaking of the mission control Ai. A lot of things seem very similar to Rival tech

[robust yoke]

instead of having to repeatedly drive away the rival tech DRG corporate decided to solve the problem by buying the company behind them

[native monolith]

I don’t actually think DRG is copying or steal rival tech. I think that it’s just modern technology

The miners complain CONSTANTLY about outdated equipment, cheapened products, R&D is known for taking wack shortcuts etc

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the “rival” skin pack called like “cutting edge (technology)”

All of the weapons in DRG are either from deepcore, a corporation known for mass produced and dubious quality weapons, vintage gear like the M1000, or wacky DUI weapons that the maniacal scientists at R&D develop like the Colette

[gritty matrix]

drg is absolutely reverse engineering rival tech, shredders exist

[native monolith]

Indeed, but I don’t think that rogue core is just them stealing their weapons

[gritty matrix]

wouldnt say that about the stuff in rogue core tho

[native monolith]

For example the P96 has basically nothing to do with rivals, but it’s a modern (laser) weapon

[gritty matrix]

drg dug too deep fellas......

[native monolith]

I think slicers sword is just what modern tech looks like

[round flower]

thanks it doesnt cure my adhd and autism tho

[native monolith]

Rivals, despite their modern tech, cannot beat the indomitable drunken dwarf spirit

[gritty matrix]

the reclaimers suits are fancy because thats what it looks like when drg doesnt cheap out for once. i think.....

[native monolith]

Kind shows how dwarves are just built different because there’s not a significant amount of them lore wise and they bat away modern robotic weaponry

[gritty matrix]

all the weapons are reasonably hodge podge

[native monolith]

The only DRG weapon that I think could be modern would be the ommoran but I would bet that thing explodes a lot because there’s living explosive rock powering it

[round flower]

i really hope that i can be a playtester for rouge core bc it basically combines two things that i like wich are rougelikes and ofc drg

otherwise im gonna cry more

bc autism

[olive hound]

Gotta keep waiting pal

[round flower]

i hate autism

[gritty matrix]

game will be out eventually, do not fear

[round flower]

i know but its just not the same

[gritty matrix]

also when the game releases itll be in a much cleaner state than rn

[round flower]

yes

but

content

and i wanna really help the devs find bugs in the very early builds

[fringe narwhal]

There are actually no glyphids in the game. So you won't find many bugs

[gritty matrix]

you may fall through the cave floor a couple times though

[olive hound]

Game right now is a buggy mess

[round flower]

GOOD

[upbeat robin]

Anyone want to actually play?

[round flower]

I LOVE WHEN GAMES ARE A BUGGY MESS BC THAT MEANS MORE/BETTER CONTENT

not trying promote my youtube tho

[olive hound]

Sure...

[crystal echo]

yeah me 🙂

[round flower]

but once i DO get rouge core im instantly opening obs studio

[upbeat robin]

im hosting a session rn

wanna get some people on

[crystal echo]

not invited mate haha, so have fun...

[round flower]

well its time to rock n stone for me

[upbeat robin]

awwwww

[median sleet]

Ask in the private Rogue Core channels

there's a lfg channel

[upbeat robin]

i dont have access to those

idk why

[median sleet]

Click the ingame discord invite

[round flower]

oh my

i have 57.6 hours on drg

thats more playtime than on helldivers 2

damn

[gritty raptor]

bro that shit happens even on DRG I don't think you can escape it 😂

[median sleet]

lootbug

[upbeat robin]

my amount of playtime on rust dwarves my playtime on drg

150 ish on drg

only 2k on rust oops

[gritty raptor]

rust is just like an endless grind tbf

[upbeat robin]

yeah

it never ends

[gritty matrix]

i mean its not that bad

[upbeat robin]

only had 2 game breaking bugs

one where i got stuck in the floor

(do not jump into the gate)

and the other one where i died

my teammate escaped in the elevator

and got stuck at the top of it

[fringe narwhal]

There are lootbugs in Rogue Core?

Peak

Game of the year

All the awards

[long breach]

Expenite lootbug

[gritty raptor]

I think they're called expenite lootbugs they're like green and glowing and shit

[fringe narwhal]

Peakbug

[gritty matrix]

although the dwarves currently think theyre made of gold

[long breach]

lmaooooo i havent been able to ping stupid things yet due to having only played solo

just another one of those things to be changed later and is currently placecholder lol

Cooper still gets called Bosco when i ping him for example

[chrome sundial]

COOPAH!

[hidden hornet]

Be funny if they made a voiceline where the dwarf mistakenly calls cooper bosco then correct themself

[knotty eagle]

Is there any way to get playtest access apart from being a content creator? I feel like I'd have a lot of valuable input as someone who primarily plays roguelikes/lites

[lilac heart]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2605790/Deep_Rock_Galactic_Rogue_Core/

Sign up here.

[knotty eagle]

Thanks, i guess i need to win the lottery for the next wave then

[compact shard]

I mean, I think at least a few other people interested in the game would have experience with other games in the genre, so I wouldn't worry about a lack of that for this initial test

If you notice anything glaring from the videos, you can talk about it here or in the suggestion channel

[finite laurel]

I really wonder if they pan on changing the model

Or if it's just a new name

[viral ether]

Just waiting for someone to rip all the new music from the files 🤞

[feral palm]

They added a female dwarf into rogue core (real)

Very happy

[stable flower]

We should have melees in rogure core

[compact shard]

@weary torrent they have stated in the dev streams that there will be an extraction sequence

[tall plume]

we kinda do

[stable flower]

I have no idea what this game is about, only rhat it’s sorta similar to drg and i’d love to slaughter bugs with melees

[stable flower]

ohmy goodness gracious

[tall plume]

pinned messages for info

[feral palm]

Full melee build as the slicer

I love having 0 effective range!!!!

[tacit urchin]

Yeah, but you get like stupid amounts of temporary hp though

[gritty raptor]

I feel like the movement speed nerf after hitting an enemy is too much to make a melee build viable

unless there's an upgrade at one point that negates that but I mean unless you get lucky and get it then you can't really melee no?

[young vessel]

you're telling me they still have the pickaxe slowdown debuff? after replacing molly with a flying drone and adding a timer mechanic that encourages a faster-paced gameplay?

this is unreal... 5

[ember viper]

this is unreal…. tournament

[delicate flax]

i'm personally trying my best to avoid any spoilers or gameplay of rogue core so i can enjoy it myself

[daring hill]

thats a good idea

a lot of people are unfortunately taking videos and using only that to form a judgement on the game

and surprisingly (or maybe not) the people i see doing that most view the game negatively

[tall plume]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tall plume]

no surprises there

they're just looking to complain and will use anything to solidify their opinions

[blissful geyser]

They'll have the chance to change their minds if and when they play the game themselves

[tall plume]

I personally hope they won't play

[blissful geyser]

?

[tall plume]

there's better way for them to spend their energy

they're obviously only interested in complaining so I'd rather they bugger off ASAP personally

[daring hill]

anyway im done with Rogue Core until the next big update happens. gonna be weird to go back to DRG

despite my 700 hours

[blissful geyser]

I'd prefer they give it a chance, I don't necessarily think they're automatically going to be interested in nothing but complaining.

Some people might be like that sure but if you don't have an alpha invite then what are you supposed to do but watch videos and try to draw some kind of ideas about the game. I'm sure for every person who thinks it looks bad there's 2 or 3 who think it looks great and they're just less vocal so far.

[tall plume]

In this case, I know the person in question and their post history and I have hard time believing they have any other interest outside of complaining and doom-posting

[blissful geyser]

Ah, well if you mean a specific person then fair.

I thought you just meant in general.

[young vessel]

yerp

i think what they have now shows some good directions they can go for it

[inner granite]

i saw one video of early alpha, final game must sucks!

[feral palm]

I just love roguelikes and wanna play this game cause the wrist gauntlets are super cool to me

🐀

[inner granite]

La Rat

[feral palm]

Me when there are placeholders in an early alpha (it's completely unacceptable)

But jokes aside I know the game is super new and unfinished but man it looks so cool

And with the devs almost confirming they'll be adding more gauntlets to the game makes me happy

[young vessel]

so true tee hee

[feral palm]

And real female dwarves

[daring hill]

I've said this before but Rogue Core looks (key word, LOOKS) so much more finished than DRG was in its own alpha that its not even funny

[young vessel]

i like drg but having the ability to pick meta loadouts gets a little stale sometimes so i think i'll really appreciate the random weapons and upgrades thing

[daring hill]

and no, im not talking about the use of DRG assets

not totally at least

[tall plume]

indeed

I remember how DRG looked at day one in Early Access

[young vessel]

it is a little funny

they got toirlets

[daring hill]

like... people think THIS looks unfinished? I could name the amount of explicitly unfinished assets on one hand!

[feral palm]

I mean it uses a lot of previously made assets and has a established art style they're already good st and has had a tone of time in the ocen

[daring hill]

...probably

[feral palm]

I mean

It's a little obviously unfinished

[tall plume]

https://indiehellzone.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/drg9.png?w=512

👌

[young vessel]

they should add a bullpup weapon

[feral palm]

A lot of reused assets, some huds are a little clunky, some mechanics need a little work, and overall the polish isn't all there, but it looks so fucking good so far

[young vessel]

infact remodel the gk2 to be bullpup and call it the gk3

[feral palm]

It's so beautiful

[daring hill]

true, but theres a decent chunk of assets that exist right now that could be the exact same the entire way through alpha and early access, and you wouldn't bat an eye

[feral palm]

Yeh

[daring hill]

thats how good some of the models are

[feral palm]

I agree

Especially the wrist gauntlets

The models are gorgeous

[daring hill]

it is funny to have that dichotomy though

[feral palm]

The gorgeous weapon models and animations and then the png huds

Makes me laugh

[daring hill]

like, you'll have that gorgeous looking rock cracker event, and look 30 degrees to your right and theres the elevator where the shaft doesn't even reach the top of the cave

[feral palm]

[daring hill]

or the expenite crassus event where its just cubes

very funny to me

[feral palm]

True

[tall plume]

C U B E

[feral palm]

Game has a lot going for it tho

I like all the new weapons I've seen so far

[young vessel]

i do hope they replace that feller with a creature that just like drops a big pile of expenite instead of the crassus thing cuz mining a sphere for 20 minutes is more DRG-paced gameplay

[feral palm]

I'd like to see more utility outside of the base drg stuff

More mobility tools n support options

[tall plume]

you will, if the devs can get around finding cool ideas

[feral palm]

Hell yeah

[young vessel]

jump pad

[tall plume]

turns out it's pretty hard to come out with original ideas that aren't functionally the same as already existing options

[young vessel]

everyone's favorite

[feral palm]

Very true

[inner granite]

teleporter pad? similar to 2 engi turrets, you can re-place them

[feral palm]

A throwable jump pad would be cute tbh

[young vessel]

what about jump pad that shoots another jump pad where you aim it and that jump pad then aims backwards towards the first jump pad

[visual latch]

Portal gun

[feral palm]

Or like an antigravity cylinder

[tall plume]

https://tenor.com/view/meonly-gif-19710542

[feral palm]

I hope a reclaimer has a wrist attachment that gives them mobility

[young vessel]

they could use that blue stuff from the anti-grav pit

[feral palm]

Like a dash punch that stuns

[feral palm]

Truee

[mossy ruin]

a tf2 esque teleporter would be so good
would save a lot of precious time, especially on later stages, where there is more to explore, and you could just tp back to elevator instantly

[feral palm]

Ooh anti grav goop gun

[feral palm]

You place a tele at the elevator and then go on with your life

[young vessel]

now you're thinking with portals

[mossy ruin]

yeah

[feral palm]

I think you'd have to limit it to like

1 per resupply

[vocal torrent]

is there the music of rogue core trailer out or not ?

[daring hill]

there won't be a soundtrack release until early access, and even then probably not for a while

and people aren't really allowed to share the music around

but it is in the game

[thin apex]

[vocal torrent]

well i will wait then, i love how they did the trailer with the sound of the alarm synch with the guns fire and such

[median sleet]

They should add engineer to Rogue Core and not acknowledge him at all

[tidal sorrel]

anyone for a run?

[elder flame]

I’m guessing that the chances of getting access to the closed beta now are slim to none right?

[median sleet]

there will be more invite waves

[elder flame]

Oh sick

And I can invite a friend?

[inner granite]

rn? exatly 0%

[median sleet]

if you get in through the Steam playtest, then yes

If you get in because a dev gave you a key, then no

[inner granite]

you can not invite if your firend invited you tho

[elder flame]

Fair

[inner granite]

hi devs, im such a nice person, give me a key :3

[elder flame]

Only chances of the devs giving me a key is if I get a make a wish

[median sleet]

some people were still able to start infinite invite chains lol

it's fixed now though

[inner granite]

become a dying kid and get into make-a-wish program

[elder flame]

I don’t think the pain of chemo or any other deadly disease would be worth it for a closed beta

Now final game on the other hand

[broken flame]

Your chances increase as time goes on

As long as you requested access on the steam page :p

Now are they ever gonna be high at all whatsoever? Probably not

[novel granite]

Is rogue core alpha for content creators only?

[inner granite]

no

[novel granite]

oh I see, steam page

right

[edgy stump]

I am curious

Are those who get access required to fill out some kind of form, orrr…?

[vocal jewel]

no

[summer tiger]

nope, picked at random

[inner granite]

yes, we sell our souls to araaon

[vocal jewel]

damn they accepted your soul?

[ashen condor]

I heard that if you get into the playtest you're obligated to give GSG your left kidney

[vocal jewel]

i had to sell my lobster

[inner granite]

no, i sold it years ago for a donut

[edgy stump]

I mean if those who are picked are required to fill out a feedback form

[finite laurel]

In the first dev stream they said that's up to the testers themselves

[daring hill]

IMO you definitely should, this is a privilege first and foremost

If you get access but only play for fun and don't report bugs or provide feedback, I shake my head at you disappointedly

You don't see it but I am

[summer tiger]

there is a form when you exit the game but all feedback pretty much goes into specific channels here

[edgy stump]

Ah, alright

[novel granite]

Shoutout to Valve asking you to sign an NDA

[near leaf]

any idea how feedback is reported, im not in the alpha but if i get in i wanna make a powerpoint with as many trsnsitions between slides as possible

[daring hill]

There's a button ingame that gives you access to channels in this server for that

[near leaf]

thank you sir

[rustic crown]

Are there any rules about uploading the new rogue core alpha ost to youtube?
Not asking as someone who has access to it, just as someone who really wants to tune into the new songs without gameplay sfxs budging in from random gameplay videos on youtube.

[olive narwhal]

Someone did rip the music but as its stands not currently since its still wip

As in no to uploading it currently

[native monolith]

Sad but understandable

[rustic crown]

Pretty much what I expected, thanks for the response though

[olive narwhal]

The good news is when it does eventually make its way out of the games theres alot of music currently

[rustic crown]

Yep, I heard
DRGs ost is amazing and I’m so glad vol.3 came into reality

[lilac heart]

Too bad it’s not streamed on all platforms

[merry lagoon]

Ghost Ship Dev's!!! Give me access to Rogue Core and my sleep schedule is yours!!!

[pulsar owl]

Regrettably, I don't think they will want your sleep schedule

[hot venture]

my local bank!

[latent tendon]

my soul :trollface:

[compact shard]

Maybe we could buy tickets to travel to gsg studio and protest outside until we get alpha keys

[inner granite]

I would go to GSG HQ even just to visit

To see how their work looks like

[distant comet]

man im jealous

i wanna play this game 😭

[young vessel]

yknow, from the videos i see, i think the colors of the text in descriptions of upgrades might be a little confusing, it does tell you which part gets increased with multiple copies of the same upgrade but sometimes its yellow where most others are green, and the part of the effect that doesnt increase is also green, methinks it should just have the important parts be yellow and the stack-increasing parts be green

[obtuse hornet]

Good morning guys, could someone tell me where to report bugs for the closed alpha of Rogue Core?

[young vessel]

they got a discord button when you launch the game i think, that gives you access to all the rogue core testing channels

[obtuse hornet]

I see, that's correct, that link gives you access to the channels. Thanks!!!

[uneven vessel]

How do i provide feedback as i have found an infinite exp glitch and dont know where i should report it / if its an intended feature

[young vessel]

discord button when you launch the game to access the testing channels

[uneven vessel]

ah thanks

[median sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-so-gif-18681605

I don't care it's an embed fail, it's funny

[finite tundra]

do we know when next testing wave is

[finite tundra]

I don’t think infinite xp would be an intended feature

And if it was for testing or something

It would be a button or command not some method or glitch

[finite tundra]

Accurate

[elder cedar]

to anyone who has played: What are you impressions?

[finite tundra]

Haven’t played but have basically watched enough videos to form an opinion. It looks pretty fire omega, scares tf outa me. Models are good. Cave leeches should be removed.

The last one stands for drg too

[median sleet]

Good base, needs a lot more meat. As expected from a closed alpha.

[finite tundra]

I mean yeah that’s what we expected

Slicer is my favorite. You pull out the ultrakill parry animation to slice a bunch of bugs at once

Very epic

[median sleet]

I thought I'd like the falconeer the most. But she ended up being my least favorite.

[finite tundra]

Falconeer looks hella underpowered

[median sleet]

IDK if it's underpowered. It's just very hard to tell if the falcon is actually doing something

the only moments when you see the falcon is when you send them of and when they return a bit later

[finite tundra]

Honestly I think it’d make more sense if the falcon was always out and the ability boosted it

Also the falcon should be present in the load out screen model

On her wrist

[trail storm]

hey will rogue core have a bosco for solo players who cant get their friends interested in deep rock? pretty please

[finite tundra]

It has cooper

And Bosco

[trail storm]

oh?

[finite tundra]

Already

[trail storm]

sweet

[finite tundra]

Yeah it’s had bosco

2 revives

The only class I’m interested in is slicer tbh

Falconeer seems gimmicky and underpowered

Guardians shield isn’t a shield it’s just like bug repellent

Spotter is nice

I have no issues with spotter

But slicer just seems like it would be more fun

[ivory bloom]

Too difficult for me personally on solo. I hadn't won yet on every attempt

actually kinda gave up for now. Just the dwarf feels like made out of paper taking too much damage but I'm just going to say how it was for me.

[finite tundra]

I mean there is health upgrades right?

[sturdy blade]

I think the ability is intended for him to be able to ignore targets that do melee dmg to deal with ranged threats, at least that's how I'd use it

And tbh, after watching many streams, and even Falconer POV, I still couldn't tell u what the bird even does besides act like Engi's shredder drone

[hasty rain]

From the videos I watched: the bird flies around and expends 1 energy section to fire once. If you have some means of regaining special, that works while the bird is out, otherwise it doesn’t look like the meter recharges while it’s out?

I am uncertain how much damage it does, hard to tell with how much the screen was jerking around because go fast

[naive lodge]

Chat is rc crassus worth or still trash?

[verbal wolf]

RC has Crassus?

[naive lodge]

Saw in a video by sniss. They put it in gay baby jail

[hasty rain]

It explodes into expenite, so

[rare dune]

its almost been 1 week since the previous alpha launch... and almost one week is halfway to 2 weeks and 2 weeks might be a new alpha distribution so the game is basically already out

[hollow bear]

if you find it with good time left, it's worth

and it's one hit, so not suffering like slapping gold

[balmy dagger]

Hey I've been playing the alpha for the past few days and realized I don't have access to any of the private channels (I recieved an email invite). Can anyone help me out with this?

[pulsar owl]

Should be a button in game that will give you access

[young vessel]

discord button when you start the game

[balmy dagger]

Yeah I did that and and it isn't working 😦

[pulsar owl]

Then you may have to contact a mod or otherwise

[upbeat robin]

hey i dont have access the the rogue core closed alpha channels either

[carmine zenith]

Contacting a mod is not the correct choice

[upbeat robin]

okay

[carmine zenith]

If you want access to the alpha channels, then open rogue core and click the link

[upbeat robin]

??????

that is just an invite to this discord serrver

the closed alpha channels are role locked

[carmine zenith]

I'm aware

[upbeat robin]

thank you for wasting your time with this response

[carmine zenith]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/497816665132630016/1370580637454565547/image.png

tell me what the first line says

[upbeat robin]

that is a link to this discord server mate

go press that button

[carmine zenith]

no shit sherlock

[upbeat robin]

how do you think i even got here

[carmine zenith]

of course it leads to the server

[upbeat robin]

im asking for a role

[carmine zenith]

but it also specifically says :"Join the exclusive playtest channel"

[upbeat robin]

not to talk to a unhelpful moderator

[carmine zenith]

as in

[young vessel]

now just to be sure, you did click the link? just to make sure its not just an invite?

[carmine zenith]

CLICKING THIS LINK GIVES YOU ACCESS

[upbeat robin]

thats not how discord links work mate

[upbeat robin]

its just a server link to this server and ik that because i pressed it and now im here

[carmine zenith]

it quite literally is how it works, it's managed by a bot

now if the bot isn't working, then that's another thing

[upbeat robin]

well the bot isnt working then

[carmine zenith]

but that's how you gain access

[upbeat robin]

because i pressed the link

ive said this 3 times already

[young vessel]

have you tried it a second time

[upbeat robin]

no

but ill go do that

suprise

doesnt work

the link in game is https://discord.com/invite/drg

and thats the normal server vanity link

how tf would a bot detect i joined through rogue core

makes no sense

[carmine zenith]

the same way the bot that gives you a miner's union role works and detects your union from in game

[upbeat robin]

cool, can you give me the role or not

[carmine zenith]

no

[upbeat robin]

who has permissions to do so?

[carmine zenith]

we don't mess with the bot assigned only roles

[young vessel]

thats odd

especially with two people making the same comment in a short amount of time, maybe the bot is a little drunk tonight

[carmine zenith]

I just tried it and it gave me the role

[upbeat robin]

its not working for me

[carmine zenith]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/497816665132630016/1370583565171167253/image.png

as my proof that I didn't just give it to myself

[upbeat robin]

I SAID ITS NOT WORKING FOR ME

[young vessel]

i remember the union bot needing to "link accounts" or something, maybe theres an issue somewhere there

[upbeat robin]

JUST GIVE ME THE BLOODY ROLE

[carmine zenith]

Steps I followed:

1. clicked the link in game

link opened web browser to discord

2. signed into account

accepted invite in browser

3. clicked link to continue to discord

gave permissions to browser to open link in discord

4. Landed in friends list on discord desktop app and returned to the server where I checked my roles and had it

[upbeat robin]

already done that twice

[carmine zenith]

could possibly be the case that their steam account is not linked to discord

it doesn't show on their profile so I can't say

[upbeat robin]

oh so I have to like my discord account to steam through a bot somewhere?

[carmine zenith]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/497816665132630016/1370585687744577687/image.png

under the connections menu in your account settings

[ivory bloom]

yea +20 HP health upgrade which stops 1 attack woopie. Doesn't help much when being hit multiple times a second at times. I only get it for the HP restore which is almost always unfortunately. Also remembering I'm playing solo so I don't get the benefit of being revived infinitely by team long as they survive. Sure, this supposed to be focused on co-op but there's a solo option and I wanna solo.

[ivory bloom]

and I also know about the "meta" upgrades, but they not helping me when I'm dying constantly at the very beginning before you can start really earning points lol.

I'm also one of those ppl who don't do hazard 5 on DRG for a reason. Too difficult and stressful

[bold gust]

Not to be that guy but I’ve yet to come across any problems as a solo player?

[carmine zenith]

rng can be a cruel mistress

[bold gust]

Damn

Seems I’m hitting it rich

[upbeat robin]

hammer caster 58 mm with corrosive upgrade + cryo upgrade is op

[bold gust]

What’s the hammer caster?

That one of the new guns?

[balmy dagger]

How would I go about getting access to that role if these steps did not work for me, have tried multiple times.

[carmine zenith]

you'd unfortunately have to keep trying until it did

I was trying to provide troubleshooting steps with the last person, but they stopped responding on how things were going if they even tried at all

you can try connecting your steam profile to discord first if it's not connected already, and then try the steps again

shut down the game fully in the meantime

the steps for getting the union bots to work were

[Make sure to restart the game after trying every fix]
Online on both Steam and Discord and make sure you're not invisible (thx to Freemysoul !)
Make sure the discord server isn't muted (thx to Chindian for this one !)
You can try using the browser instead of the app (or the other way around)
You can also try having steam and discord running on administrator mode (thx to Marcos for this one !)
If nothing work, check this message : ⁠drg-chat⁠
For linux, you can use https://github.com/0e4ef622/wine-discord-ipc-bridge to access the union (thanks to neijr for this !)

keep in mind : the bot is half-broken, so it's only working when it wants to

[finite tundra]

What’s goin on?

[carmine zenith]

mind you, I managed to do it while invisible on discord so you can likely ignore that step

this is a different bot than the miner's union bot, but I'd imagine it runs somewhat similarly

@balmy dagger

[carmine zenith]

community troubleshooting on getting the bot to give out the roles for the alpha channels

[finite tundra]

Yeah I just scrolled up a bit

Seems like community trouble shooting mixed with an insufferable person

[carmine zenith]

that's usually how it goes

[balmy dagger]

Just tried connecting steam to discord and restarting etc. All of those other options we're already done, ill just keep trying

[finite tundra]

Feel bad for ya good luck and may the people you have to help not be insufferable.

[carmine zenith]

sometimes I get to be the insufferable one, so it evens out

[carmine zenith]

do you have them both running with the same permission levels?

[finite tundra]

Sounds like fun

I’m just waiting for the day when steams randomized little magic hat of early access pulls my name out.

Accidental reply

[balmy dagger]

yup

[carmine zenith]

hopefully it happens soon 😔

[finite tundra]

Yeah I want start cutting bugs with the funny energy sword asap

Jesus Christ you have every role under the sun

[carmine zenith]

almost, there's a few I haven't bothered adding

[finite tundra]

Omnilingual

[carmine zenith]

most were originally there for channel access while our perms were a mess, and they just got left on

[severe nymph]

Sick

[formal drum]

has there been any news on when the next wave of invites might be sent out?

[severe nymph]

Nope

[formal drum]

pain

[carmine zenith]

not to my knowledge, no

[young vessel]

when the moon doth shine and the grass doth grow

[finite tundra]

Where the dwarves doth mine and the gold doth flow

Dwarven poetry

Rare as the dwarves don’t show much intelligence since beer drinking begins at birth

[severe nymph]

Hey just cus the dwarves are rough and hardy doesn't make them inherently dumb

[carmine zenith]

hopefully one of the devs can give more insight later on it, sorry we couldn't use the old steps to get it going in the meantime

[finite tundra]

All of them have fetal alcohol
syndrome

[carmine zenith]

the only other guess I have is to try setting yourself to online status in both discord and steam, restarting both, and trying again but that's something we use as a troubleshooting step for creating steam game invites got drg

Thank you for at least giving them a shot btw, @balmy dagger

[finite tundra]

Come to think of it I have never seen a shower on any of the drg or rogue core rigs. The only time I hear anything about cleaning or health is when rockpox is involved. Are they just not showering if they don’t encounter rock pox?

[pliant radish]

Can I just preorder Rogue Core?

I want to give them my money, idc if the game is a hot pile of trash, they deserve the cash

[finite tundra]

No

[median oar]

erm chat

[pliant radish]

https://tenor.com/view/shut-up-and-take-my-money-money-futurama-gif-6882124657810317443

[median oar]

my roguecore updates

[median oar]

point and laugh!!!

[severe nymph]

It's bad and the worst game isn't it

It's actually really BAD and gsg HATES there fans

[median oar]

i got a 120mb update for roguecore

new class

trust

[severe nymph]

👀

Heck yes

[pliant radish]

idk any company that doesn't want to take ya money, except these folk. Makes me respect them even more

[severe nymph]

Most indies definitely have quality over profit

[median oar]

im actually wondering how many people they let in

because there are 3 lobbies playing roguecore right now

nvm

4

[solid patrol]

not many yet but a lot of people not play public either

[median oar]

guess so

[crystal echo]

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

Only 200 invites, rest is devs

They only had that many users in the start, now it hangs around 40max per day it seems... So yeah not much lobbies

[upbeat robin]

got to facility 2 yay

58mm grenade launcher is the best weapon

[delicate flax]

i cant say random bullshit about rogue core being "released" anymore because the game is out for closed alpha playtesting :(

the shrondible red bopple will always be in my memory or something

[severe nymph]

Is that different from the pgl grenade launcher?

[upbeat robin]

yea

splash is non existant

8 rounds per mag

[tall plume]

you mean the hammer caster ?

[upbeat robin]

58 default

[tall plume]

it fires bullets, not grenades

[upbeat robin]

yea

[upbeat robin]

i thought it did?

[severe nymph]

Oh the hammer caster

I cast magic hammer

What's that weapon do

[old swift]

casts hammers

[severe nymph]

Shit....

[upbeat robin]

hits like a truck

[severe nymph]

It's obvious.......why didn't I think of thag

[finite tundra]

I wonder if they will have trjaudio music on rogue core

[tall plume]

no, he left GSG to work on Void Crew 2 years ago

[finite tundra]

Oh alr

[tall plume]

And Sophus did the music

Troels was the sound designer. He did help Sophus with the tracks and composed 2 of them himself.

[finite tundra]

What’s their YouTube account I want to check out what else they got

[tall plume]

I don't think Sophus has a youtube account

[finite tundra]

Ah Alr

[severe nymph]

I wonder what else has sophus has worked on

Besides drg and rc

[tall plume]

he has an instagram though

[severe nymph]

👀

[tall plume]

anyway, just look up Sophus Alf Agerbæk-Larsen on google and you'll find some info

[finite tundra]

I had a small stroke trying to read that one character

[severe nymph]

Yeah

[finite tundra]

I don’t see anything but deep rock soundtrack

[daring hill]

yeah its not out yet

[finite tundra]

I’m not complaining it’s fire

[daring hill]

the rogue core soundtrack

[finite tundra]

Oof

[daring hill]

wont be out until a year or more from now

[finite tundra]

It’s closed alpha that’s to be expected

[tall plume]

it's worth the wait though

[finite tundra]

Agreed

God my impatience is killing me

I’m excited and scared of the next tester wave

Excited I get the chance to play the game scared because chance is a word I always avoid

[daring hill]

fun fact: i gathered it all, theres 1 hour and 26 minutes of new music here

this early, which is crazy

and not a single dud

[glossy burrow]

Do we know if Rogue Core is coming to ps4?

[tall plume]

no plans for console release yet

[glossy burrow]

Got it! Thanks

[severe nymph]

But I wouldn't doubt jt really

I don't particularly see why not

[latent viper]

I can't wait for Rogue Core

Gamers are eating good in 2025

Rogue Core and Subnautica 2 early access

[glossy burrow]

And don't forget about Silksong!

[latent viper]

Oh right!

[glossy burrow]

Silk and Song in the heart

[latent viper]

not a hollow knight gamer but I definitely can see why ppl are excited for it

[glossy burrow]

Now we just need Binding of Isaac 2 to complete the gamer infinity stones

[latent viper]

or Titanfall 3

and GTA VI

bruh at this rate we'll get MInecraft 2.0 before GTA VI

[finite tundra]

And the new soulsborn game locked behind a overpriced Nintendo console

[latent viper]

bruh everything is literally 50% more expensive

this is utterly nonsense

[finite tundra]

The Nintendo costing more is whatever but the games

I would buy the Nintendo switch 2

If the games weren’t expensive

[tall plume]

I mean, it's only interesting if you're into PvPvE games

[finite tundra]

Drg on Nintendo real?

The game laggy on ps4 would have no issues on a handheld

At all

[latent viper]

But then they'd have to deal with Nintendo Online

[finite tundra]

Hah developers worst nightmare

[latent viper]

Unless of course third-party games are immune

[finite tundra]

Dealing with annoying companies

[latent viper]

Like Rocket League iirc

big sad

[finite tundra]

Console online subscriptions feel so stupid to me

[latent viper]

Yeah ikr

[finite tundra]

I’m paying for the hardware why am I paying to use it for anything but solo play

[latent viper]

I'm a PC gamer because paying to play online is an utter scam

[finite tundra]

Stream deck is the only console I can reccomend

Steam*

[latent viper]

That's basically a handheld PC

[finite tundra]

That’s kind of the point

[latent viper]

I'd consider getting one, especially after Windows 10 gets deleted

or dropped support or whatever

Maybe I'll switch to Steam OS and learn the dark arts of Linux just so I can use an OS that's supported

[finite tundra]

Linus dark arts

My only issue with Linus is the lack of support for it from most software developers

[latent viper]

For a second I thought you were talking about the Charlie Brown guy and I got really confused

[latent viper]

disappointing

[finite tundra]

It has potential but Microsoft holds the power

We are so side tracked

[latent viper]

linux is trapped in Microsoft's basement?

[latent viper]

agreed lmao

[finite tundra]

Don’t worry this is def talking about rogue core

Some how

Maybe

Ima look at this because I never bothered https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2605790/view/534349110430400561?l=english

If I can’t play the game I’ll just have to read the game

Has anybody modded drg so you can play doom on the arcade machine yet

[latent viper]

"Can you run doom on it" has officiallty invaded DRG

[finite tundra]

If I can run doom on a heart monitor I should be able to play it in drg

[latent viper]

Wait what

[tall plume]

alright, it's time to leave the rogue core channel free of off-topic at this point

#non-drg-chat

[finite tundra]

My bad

I got adhd I know how to switch a topic faster than I can switch from objects to focus on

[latent viper]

Sorry

Got sidetracked

[carmine zenith]

@vital hinge looks like this answers it maybe

[vital hinge]

Makes sense, heard something similar

[supple pike]

i'm really interested in the "meta progression" elements implemented so far, but i've not seen anyone detailing the skill tree abilities. does anyone know what all of those are?

[tall plume]

there is barely any meta progression atm

just passive boosts you unlock and equip on classes

and they're not very interesting, it's just base stats upgrades

[supple pike]

i just saw in sniss' video that some are better than others, but can stack with previous versions of themselves. like +25 health and +30 health being level 1 and 2

[tall plume]

like "+40 health" or the like

[supple pike]

yeah but i'd still like to see them all because i don't know what they all are. that's the question

[finite tundra]

Are we able to piss off omega to the point where it just locks our gear from working

Like how we bullied Mission Control in drg

[severe nymph]

I hope so

[tall plume]

• +health, +25, +30, +40
• • armor, +10, +15, +20, +25
• -20% fall damage
• +% health regen threshold, +10%, +12%
• +carry capacity, +10, +15, +20
• +chance of crit, +4%, +5%, +6%, +8%
• -20% ability cooldown
• +25% interaction and revive speed
• +20% ammo
• -20% power attack CD
• -20% effect of speed penalties and extra speed and damage resistance when carrying heavy item
• +5s invulnerability when revived

keep in mind, this is all very much subject to change

[supple pike]

right, just like a majority of everything else.

[median sleet]

They're also planning to make the reclaimers elves instead of dwarves. Since only elves would be good enough to be part of an elite team

[severe nymph]

First gsg title to make negative money

[inner granite]

He's right but also wrong

[finite tundra]

Nasty leaf lovers

[grave cradle]

Would be cool if in Rogue core armor wasnt just cosmetic but had different effects

[finite tundra]

Tighty whites armor set
+90% Incoming damage
+150% jump height
+50% speed boost
+0 armor

Description: a pair of underwear.

The perfect armor

[zenith peak]

dude if they ever add lategame upgrades for classes(like how overclocks are to weapon upgrades) they should give the slicer a shield so you can be a proper knight

[grave cradle]

Glass cannon build

[blissful geyser]

Risk of Rain 2 gameplay: run fast kid cause if you get hit you're gonna die!

[quaint monolith]

Omega every 2 seconds:

Reclaimers, reclaimers
Reclaimers

Hey reclaimers!

Reclaimers

omega 1 second after ^ : reclaimers hello

way too much yapping

[random drift]

Hi guys! does anyone know how do devs pick players for the playtest
Is it just random?

[astral sluice]

omega every 2 words in a sentence: r-r-reclaimers, there are ho-ho-hostiles a-a-a-a-apporaching

[astral sluice]

it's completely random

[quaint monolith]

Nice work there R-r-re claimers

By the way, reclaimers we got hostiles a-a-a-approaching

[daring hill]

can you blame him? those guys are really scary

[astral sluice]

I meant that the glitching effects are a bit excessive

[ripe spear]

probably pretty low, but you could also go on the steam page and request access

[runic verge]

expected thanks

is it one invite for a friend?

[daring hill]

omega is not glitching out or anything he's just freaked the fuck out

he's new to the job

[runic verge]

thank

[astral sluice]

petition to call Omega by the correct pronouns (it/its)

[daring hill]

yes, but only if you got in through steam. getting a key from the newsletter or directly from a dev doesn't give you the ability to invite

[quaint monolith]

I could accept that as the cannon

Someone tell omega to say "Reclaimers" less often btw xd

Take a shot every time it says that word and Ur Gona be blackout drunk

[runic verge]

do you think there will be future keys in the newsletters?

[daring hill]

probably not?

[runic verge]

yeah im a bit out of the loop thanks

[astral sluice]

just sign up on steam and pray

[runic verge]

already did

[astral sluice]

there's no trick to it

[runic verge]

screaming and crying when i missed it

[astral sluice]

it doesn't matter when you signed up

[runic verge]

i missed the first wave

[daring hill]

i think from now on it'll be steam

but they'll likely be letting in a LOT more people

[runic verge]

hopefully 🙏

rock and stone brothers

[quaint monolith]

[daring hill]

also note that invites wont be for a while. starting monday GSG is gonna be working on more content rather than fixes and tweaks

not much point in allowing more people in before theres more stuff to feedback/report

[tall plume]

not in newsletters, no

[tidal crane]

I hope they don't get rid of the DRG weapons added to the game currently. I think the new weapons are important, but that doesn't mean breaking the rules of drg weapons can't be fun either. I would love to make a Hurricane shoot twice as fast and have a giant mag with cryo damage or some other crap that regular gameplay doesn't

I bring this up because the latest stream near the end the devs talked about if they were gonna keep the drg weapons

[finite laurel]

They said some would stay and have unstable overclocks as possible modifiers

But you won’t get all 24

[olive narwhal]

Things like cyro cannon and flamer are not currently playing nice with the new elemental system

So i would suspect that some weapons will not make the cut

[void bough]

Oh shit is the falconeer a woman?

[olive narwhal]

Yes

[void bough]

LESGO

[chrome phoenix]

Anyone else disappointed that you don't need to extract after beating the boss?

[void bough]

I heard there might be plans to add that?

[chrome phoenix]

Hope so. It really feels anti climatic that it just ends without any desperate escape

[mossy ruin]

yeah, the devs said so on stream

they plan an extraction sequence

[void bough]

I could see it being something like the last of the corespawn in the area getting desperate and going for you

[olive narwhal]

They have alot of plans that are not in place this early into the alpha

[chrome phoenix]

Having them endlessly pour out of the final hole and chase you back to the elevator would be more than enough

[void bough]

I also hope there're more scenarios for levels and finales

[raven wharf]

It’s almost certainly going to have an extraction. It’s an alpha, the primary purpose of these playtests is to ensure there a solid core.

[chrome phoenix]

Yeah that's fair but I feel that's part of the core gameplay loop though

[hollow bear]

Pun detected

[olive narwhal]

Its still important to get everything that comes before extraction right

[chrome phoenix]

I feel like there would be a benefit from more frequent upgrades during the run.

There arnt really than many choices in a single run

[wary tiger]

||and to ensure this one doesnt go rogue||i mean what

[toxic acorn]

Has there been any word for when this game is coming out yet?

[raven wharf]

Pinned messages

[grave cradle]

Probably more variety in the works i would guess

I would also assume there will be more boss types than just the Gotoorak gatekeeper

[crystal echo]

Its saturday and we got 36 players playing and nobody streaming, I really need my daily fix guys 🙂 hahaha

[mossy ruin]

I don't think they mean variety?
I think they mean they just want more opportunities for upgrades

[crystal echo]

When I go to bed I check my email real quick and when I wake up I do the same lol, this is getting out of hand... (and this discord chan) haha

[mossy ruin]

but you get like ~8 upgrades, 1-2 artifacts, ~3 bio booster per run

I think that's plenty, as far as the length of facility 1 goes

[vocal jewel]

yeah the boss levels feel pretty lacking

[tall plume]

yeah it's currently incomplete

[errant kiln]

Game cool

[wispy oyster]

I was expecting Rogue Core to refine the Dwarf model size so the movement and collisions feel less bulky, and visual effects to be more subtle/"thin" so the action stay readable and the screen is less clutered. I don't mind clutter in Helldivers 2 or EDF when you get overwhelmed, but in DRG I find it makes the game unsatisfying (even if I love it overall).

What do you guys think about that, ever experienced it?

[fast sable]

How long have you guys been playing the Rogue Core?

[errant kiln]

I don’t have key but it’s been like 5 days

Scratch that 4

[fast sable]

Hope you qualify in the next round.

I really like the setting in the Rogue Core where you can encounter a damaged M.U.L.E, and you can get some rewards after repairing it. I hope there will be more Easter eggs like this.

[errant kiln]

There’s a exsponite detonator

The coolest thing I’ve seen are the events like that one

I like the hammer drill too

[fast sable]

A green bulk in the RC, lol.

[errant kiln]

They should ad the bulk to survivor as well make it so the area around it explodes turns to gold

[raven wharf]

GSG does not develop DRG survivor

[errant kiln]

Oh ok

My point still stands just other nerd need to do it

[fast sable]

Good idea🤓

[summer tiger]

Why would you extract when all the rifts are closed after beating the boss? It's too much backtracking for nothing.

[summer tiger]

4 days

[summer tiger]

It's already in. Reparing it gives you 14,1 EXPenite

[summer tiger]

There's also expenite lootbug. As of green bulk I suppose it's a placeholder and will change in the future to have a unique model

[rustic matrix]

does cooper have upgrades like bosco has?

[young vessel]

they get +5 damage per upgrade

[rustic matrix]

i mean good ones

like faster mining

[young vessel]

probably not

[tall plume]

not currently

[rustic matrix]

can you disable him to play true solo?

[tall plume]

don't think so

[rustic matrix]

it seems he is just a revive bot for now

[summer tiger]

Not yet but whenever you get EXP upgrade he gets +5% damage

[steel summit]

Do we know if the invites are going out in waves or a trickle?

[summer tiger]

he ca be used for mining tool for places you can reach or a vain that you will just pick all the chunks from

[summer tiger]

waves

[steel summit]

Ahh. I assume we know nothing about when the next one will be then, yeah?

[summer tiger]

Nope, so far it's been 200-250 invites sent out. You can get more coherent feedback in that way.

[steel summit]

[median sleet]

more like a 1000

[raven wharf]

Once again, speculation on the amount. It's more than that.

[daring hill]

Why would you extract after completing a mission objective in DRG? It's too much backtracking for nothing.

That reasoning just does not make sense, especially when similarly linear missions in DRG require more backtracking.

If the backtracking in rogue core is too much for extraction, than the exact same applies to DRG

[fierce bone]

I think I am in the acceptance stage of the 5 stages of grief now

[neon helm]

Are there any plans for some kind of healer class or a class that can buff other players?

[mossy ruin]

we don't know
and I think the devs don't know either

but it's clear the devs want your mistakes to matter (with resupplies only giving armor, and armor not regenerating)
