[bright tulip]

Hi is the closed beta/play-test still going on?

[hollow bear]

Not currently being updated but it is still up

[astral sluice]

when is there gonna be a faq channel for rogue core

half of the messages in here are the exact same thing

no one is gonna check pins on their own

[pulsar owl]

The most recent news isn't even in the pins

[thin apex]

even then people wouldnt read tbh

[blissful slate]

melee spotter = hairy spotter

[severe frigate]

Hello, is there such a possibility as to get to the closed alpha test and play with a couple of friends? Fans of your work, sent a request for a closed test, but for about half a month there is no news. I would really like to try out the new product with friends. Here is my Steam friendship code: 418697551

[pine skiff]

I wouldn't post your Steam friend code on a public Discord. Aside from that, I don't think the devs will respond to individual requests for access because otherwise they would have thousands of individual cases to go through

[severe frigate]

is there other opportunities?

[pine skiff]

If you're signed up to the list via the Steam store page, they will send out more invites during future testing rounds

[tall plume]

I mean, we have #steam-profile-sharing

[pine skiff]

Furthermore, on the previous round, if you received the invite through Steam (not through the newsletter) you got a +1 to invite a friend

[tall plume]

what are people gonna do ? Friend you on steam ?

[pine skiff]

That sounds terrifying I am going to bed

(to hide)

[tall plume]

The alpha is currently closed. There will be another wave in the future but when is unknown. And it's unknown how large it's going to be either. All you can do is sign up on the page and hope you get lucky.

[severe frigate]

IDK, mb I'll be lucky and developer give game because of this message

[tall plume]

No, they won't.

[iron stirrup]

gotta manifest it

[tall plume]

They're not gonna hand keys to everyone coming on the discord to beg for it, that's not how the system works.

[iron stirrup]

you just gotta believe harder

[severe frigate]

))

[iron stirrup]

good things come to those who wait

[pulsar owl]

But not to those who wait too late

[torpid mural]

were the participants for the first wave of closed alpha selected at random or are there criteria i need to meet if i want to get picked for the next one

[tall plume]

random

[median yoke]

I just noticed..
guys

the flashlights are not centered...

[torpid mural]

alright ty

[median sleet]

I made a bug report for that

[median yoke]

ty your service is very much appreciated xd

[daring hill]

Honestly I don't mind it

Feels weird for it to be perfectly centered and emit directly from the eyes

[next fable]

Literally unplayable

[compact shard]

I thought it was on their chest, right under the chin

[wind orbit]

Does anyone here have access? How does it compare to DRG?

[tall plume]

nobody tell them about the medbay in the Spacerig

[inner granite]

Find active account, that will read their messages, so they can scam you

[tall plume]

being scammed would require you being stupid and giving your logs to someone/a place you shouldn't

[inner granite]

They are still trying, so it is working

[tall plume]

yes, scams prey on the gullibles

[inner granite]

Just look at our "friendly" 50$ giveaways here

Not all accounts were fresh join

[tall plume]

I'm willing to bet those scams hit the elderly, the young and the people who are not on internet a whole lot

for the most part

[inner granite]

Just visit r/steam or something, there are weekly posts "help, i got scammed what to do"

And its just steam

All those "i would never fall for this" scams are working

[north steeple]

if they didnt work then they wouldnt still be around

[solemn mountain]

Rogue core looks insanely good

It's a roguelike that plays like DRG pretty much yea?

[native monolith]

Yup

[simple cloak]

I’ll be part of the next wave of play testers and have a banger time with the updates they made. copium

[median sleet]

pray they type 20 000 instead of 2000

[tall plume]

I heard they're chosing 10 more for next wave

2000 locked in the arena and they're taking the 10 last survivors

get ready

[median sleet]

Oh so they finally got permission for the arena fights?

[tall plume]

no

[wary tiger]

"yes they have" - john deeprock

[raven wharf]

Enter the thunderdome. Two dwarfs enter, one dwarf leaves.

[rose snow]

was there just one key wave for this first playtest?

[median sleet]

so far

[rose snow]

i see

[inner granite]

You will get the key when you say what number comes after 2

And before 4

[rose snow]

2.5

[inner granite]

What intiger is in (2, 4) range

[rose snow]

intiger not defined

[inner granite]

integer*

I just type int

[agile mortar]

Cannot wait for the second wave of playtesters
<------------- absolutely not getting in whatsoever

[stray stratus]

Has the second access wave happened yet?

[agile mortar]

no

i hope it happens soon

[pulsar owl]

won't be for estimating at least a week

[agile mortar]

if everyone collectively starts naming dates that the second wave will happen then someone will be right

but eh i can wait for it

im used to waiting afterall (silksong fan)

i do wish we got a vague window for the second wave though

[inner granite]

What if rc isn't real

And all playtesters are paid actors

[vocal jewel]

god i wish

[tall plume]

https://tenor.com/view/men-in-black-will-smith-dont-worry-flash-neuralizer-gif-7897414

[median sleet]

it's true, they gave me 5 credits

[vocal jewel]

jukebox privledge

[tall plume]

we're taking the 5 credits back

since you've outed our secret

That'll teach you

[median sleet]

you'll have to break the jukebox for 4 of them

[gaunt tusk]

dude I am not even real

[tall plume]

you're now in debt

[civic drift]

No matter how rich we are, everything goes to drg

These credits are only useful in drg facilities

[severe nymph]

Is that true? Like lore wise are the credits in game only usable in the company

Or are you just saying stuff

[civic drift]

I dunno

[civic drift]

I'm assuming

There isn't anything foreign besides the rival faction, which we can only interact with by killing them and robbing them of their stuff

So..

[severe nymph]

Yeah fair

I saw some youtuber refer to scrip as a sorta company exclusive currency so that's what I was going off of

[civic drift]

Oh shit u right I forgot abt scrip

Maybe both are

Company credit
And scrip

Scrip is rewarded to dwarves who go above and beyond with assigned tasks

And credit is the base currency

That's my guess

[zinc totem]

is the M.U.L.E. called R.E.P.O.? lol

[severe nymph]

The "mule" in rc js called the R.E.P.O.D I'm p sure

[pulsar owl]

REPD

Remote Expenite Processing Drone

Or Ellis for short

[severe nymph]

Oh

Me when I forgor

Ellis is really cool ngl I like that she's actually FAST

[hasty rain]

SO-
Real world history: Mining towns and such would pay employees in fake money that was only usable in company stores, where goods were overpriced to try (and usually succeed) to force the workers into permanent spiraling debt, and if the money could be exchanged into real money it was at such a horrible conversion rate doing so was idiotic.
DRG has two currencies clearly based off this: Credits, and Scrip. There are, however, voicelines that indicate the miners get a "paycheck at the end of the month". To me, this indicates that while their work immediately pays out in Credits and Scrip for use in-company, DRG also gives them fat actual pay monthly that we don't get to see because it's not relevant to the game.
The mineral exchange is being offered by management, as a service, "not a charity". So it is likely that they are using company currency of Credits for this.
The only thing that complicates all this is the line from Mission Control where it's mentioned "I told them we shouldn't let you keep the gold..." So, unless the miners are immediately using the company to convert the gold to wealth (and thus Credits, because mining town), not sure.

[daring hill]

is there anything that says credits isn't a proper currency outside of the company? i was under the impression it was real money

and its just called credits because generic sci-fi space money

[hasty rain]

Nothing in game says so explicitly, but the line about end-of-month paychecks implies it
So it’s a big 🤷

[fallen bough]

Does anyone know how many waves of play testers there's gonna be?

[hard frigate]

And to piggyback, if there’s been any talk of when the next wave would be?

[carmine zenith]

No. The answer is always no.

To both of those questions.

@fallen bough @hard frigate

[frail heron]

Ya load 16 tons, what do you get?

Another day older and deeper in debt

St. Peter don't you call me cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

[hard frigate]

Kinda figured but wasnt sure. Thanks.

Is it just me, or have we heard very little in the way of communications about rogue core plans recently?

[fallen bough]

No as in you don't know the amount of Waves there are or no as in there won't be another wave?

[carmine zenith]

😑

[fallen bough]

I'm not familiar with beta tests, I don't know if this is gonna be the first and last one

[gritty matrix]

it has been less than a week since the formal end of round one

[clear moon]

I feel your pain

[daring hill]

man sniss's video is great

i genuine believe when people say they want rogue core to be an expansion or dlc, they actually want it to be free content

they don't want it to be an expansion or dlc because it would cost money and suffer from being restricted to DRG

so you literally just get a worse game for no actual benefit

either acting in bad faith or just dont know what on earth they are asking for

and he's completely right: the game will NOT sit well with most players who don't care for difficulty, and just play hazards 1-3 while doing whatever

being an expansion would remove that degree of separation

[undone flame]

Judging by some videos I've seen by far my favorite class Is slicer or whatever it's called can't remember off the top of my head I love the design and ability.

[gritty matrix]

video mentioning more classes is interesting actually

meta progression being focused around different starts rather than objectively better starts is kinda fun for co op game. idk

thinky

[undone flame]

I like it it adds more variety each time rather than the same every time

[severe nymph]

slicer is very "unga bunga sword go swwshhhh" so thats probably why

the gaurdian looks very cool particularly his pellets he tosses at things for stun

[frail heron]

Oh is the Alpha testing over already?

[frail heron]

This, this 100%

Bro doesn't want to pay for an entirely new game when they've gotten like 4k+ hours out of DRG. I said the same thing in Sniss's video comments

I'd say you got your moneys worth by now, especially if you got the game on sale for like $7-$10

Most people ain't that strapped for cash that they can't afford to buy like a $30 game

[severe nymph]

true true

i do hope thats the general price range for rc

cus i am a little strapped fo cash

[frail heron]

They just can't dare to part with their money because they need it for crack

[frail heron]

Yeah, I can't imagine it'll be more then that

That still thankfully is the general price range for games like this

Unlike me when looking at simulators

And companies like Giants Software with Farming Sim charging like $60 for a game that has a tree, that looks more like a tree holy piss

With no actual real changes except "graphics", and even then the graphics look the same because we've hit our technological limit

The other thing is, we can be very happy GSG isn't a scumbag company and doesn't make you pay for seasons or an entirely new game

Imagine Deep Rock Galactic 2

And just other copy-paste garbage into infinity

That was one of the reasons why I got DRG, knowing that the company behind it actually cares about their player base

Not to mention, the devs actually play their own game! You don't even see that half the time

I really don't get the logic of you making a game, then you never playing your own game

[severe nymph]

thats why indies are so much better especially these days

[frail heron]

Kinda yes and no with that. Some are, some aren't

I've been ripped off more often then not because of indie games really

So I'm more apprehensive towards them. But I know something brilliant when I see it

Or that at least has the real potential to go somewhere

[severe nymph]

yuh

[frail heron]

Most of the stuff I've bought has lost steam with development and ultimately is just sitting in a weird limbo

Stuff that might be innovative, new, etc, but the devs just...don't really know how to plan well or life got in the way

Most being the 1st thing, the devs suck at deving, lol

Like these people go into making a video game completely blind and barely do any real research or education on a little thing called game design before starting it

No wonder it didn't get anywhere at all, or at least anywhere fast then. Cause you went in without knowing anything and made what were completely preventable mistakes

I'm seeing them with a new railroad simulator I got where its the dev's 1st thing he's made. But he hasn't really looked at anything else as reference material

So a whole lot of stuff to me is seeming extremely familiar and like deja vue of another sim

However, the main thing is the guy actually is acknowledging feedback, just like the Ghostship team is

He's also being flexible, which is great

In these situations, you need to be extremely flexible with where and how development comes together. You might have unforeseen stuff happen or things you never even accounted for that makes your entire dev process pivot

Like with Railroader, us players needing a little bit more capable AI in it to be able to assist when in single player. That turned into a whole like 3-4 months of him writing an entirely new AI for the game and rewriting the existing one

But he made it fit into his roadmap 👌

And now he's back on track with the more regular stuff he had planned

To me the GSG team is doing a great job with Rogue Core right now thus far. They got good groundwork for it, they looked at a lot of other material to use as reference, are new getting active feedback for it, etc

[pulsar owl]

I'm fond of spotter because it actually has some degree of synergy with upgrades

ig to that effect, I wish the classes had more differences between em,
like spotter maybe giving more base crit chance
slicer giving some melee buffs
guardian feels more like a tanker, so idk regain shield scaling with fear induced from the ability
falconeer, idk maybe more synergy to elemental effects, like increase the rate slow/burn/poison accumulates before it transform into freeze/ignite/neurotoxin

[daring hill]

Yes and no. Not completely, but they have closed down the feedback channels, and there's basically no one playing it right now

There are almost 500 bugs reported, and everything that could get feedback has it

You can still launch it and play but the current session is officially over, very little value in playing until the next content update

[frail heron]

That makes sense yeah, good to hear, at least to me

[daring hill]

And saves are getting wiped too

[frail heron]

I was wondering about that actually

Heck, gotta test everything, even the beginning

New accounts/saves sometimes have a different experience then already established ones too

[pulsar owl]

There was an announcement made on May 6th detailing the above info

[frail heron]

Ah, I didn't really see that

[pulsar owl]

Oh wow, that was actually a while ago

[frail heron]

I have this server in a folder I don't look in too much, lol

[pulsar owl]

The announcement was made in the alpha channels, one of the users who had access crossposted it for us

[frail heron]

Then again I'm in like 60 servers anyway and most of them I don't look in like all the time

[frail heron]

Ah

Yeah I was gonna say, I don't see any of those channels of course

[pulsar owl]

I think it's a bit of a shame, for that announcement specifically but also for the feedback

I'm concerned that a suggestion I make may have already been suggested in the elusive channels, and I wouldn't even realize that I'm just repeating something

Or whether the public suggestion channel is even considered, in favor of the private alpha suggestions one

Or however that channel may be called

[hard frigate]

Any idea if that crossposted announcement still accessible?

[pulsar owl]

100% let me find it

#rogue-core-chat message

[hard frigate]

Wow that was fast. Thanks!

On another note out of curiosity, was it ever said how many people were in the first wave?

[pulsar owl]

There's been predictions, the general estimate is <=1000

But no clear confirmation

But surely more than 300 at least

[frail heron]

Ye

Steamdb isn't always accurate like some others here used

Plus not everyone was probably on at the same time either

[south wigeon]

I have a prediction about rogue core

There will be bugs (scary)

[frail heron]

Scary bugs

But really...can we even call them bugs?

[obtuse dock]

Random question.

Will I have to start again from Scratch for Rogue Core or will I keep my progress when it enters it's completed stage?

[frail heron]

Scratch

In fact the devs I think also mentioned it in one of their streams actually

[south wigeon]

They are interdimentional bugs as far as I see it.

[rare dune]

Tomorrow marks the 2 week point after the first wave of keys went out. How confident is everyone that we may see another wave soon?

[simple cloak]

I will get access within the next two weeks. copium

[median sleet]

There will be other waves

[pine skiff]

Once Early Access launches (and people are actually paying for the product) I imagine they will do their best to avoid wiping progress, similar to DRG. But who knows

During alpha testing I think progress will be wiped at the start of every testing period

[violet mason]

news on the next round of invites is in today's fresh dev diary!

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2605790/view/528720974102660368?l=english

[inner granite]

Hi, can you please change so non rc players can read rc channels, just not write there?

We also want to know what's going on!

[mossy ruin]

hmmm, idk if that's very useful

[inner granite]

Also

The next major Closed Alpha update will hopefully be ready in a few weeks. That’ll be our next dedicated playtest, where you can expect another round of invitations to go out.
Does that mean ones that had access, lose it?

[mossy ruin]

no

read further

[inner granite]

I mean, after next update, do they lose it

Not now

I mean future alpha versions

[mossy ruin]

Once we’ve made good progress there, we’ll package it up and release it as a new playtest, the ‘Update 2’ for the Closed Alpha. We’ll send out a fresh batch of playtest invitations there, and everyone who’s already gotten access will of course be able to play it as well.

[tall plume]

@median sleet ☝️

smh

😂

[median sleet]

I swear it wasn't pinned yet

was it?

[tall plume]

it was

lol

[inner granite]

Oh

[tall plume]

sorry but no, that's just not gonna happen

[inner granite]

What have you done?

[inner granite]

):
Why?

[tall plume]

the whole point of limiting feedback is to not have to deal with getting feedback in multiple channels from people who didn't get to play.

[median sleet]

lol the riftgate concept art that's just '👌 '

[keen cargo]

https://tenor.com/view/terminator-okay-thumbs-up-melt-lava-gif-9214446

maybe we need one of these too

[inner granite]

Average developer after main framework goes down:

[native monolith]

Me when I fix the bug a fellow dev told me about, creating 16 more before sending the new version back:

[inner granite]

In one of my simulations, code could break if n was a very specyfic number for no reason

To today idk why

[native monolith]

ROGUE CORE SPOTTED

[daring hill]

oh hell yeah

[inner granite]

Rogue function

[frigid path]

That’s why you leave them in and make them into

✨ features ✨

[crystal echo]

Only thing I read is no new invites... big sad....

[hollow bear]

[median sleet]

wouldn't make sense to invite without adding new content/ changes

[daring hill]

next update potentially being in a few weeks is unfortunate, was hoping it'd be this month, or the stream on the 27th

oh well

[native monolith]

Well hopefully people will stop asking now

[crystal echo]

haha nobody reads the pins, so why would that change 😉

[native monolith]

Definitely done that a few times

[daring hill]

but its nice to know they are planning more than a thousand invites next time

[median sleet]

1001

[native monolith]

I believe one time I accidentally made a unit deal damage to anything it walked over, entirely unintentionally, but it was neat so I added a ui description for it and haven’t touched it since

[daring hill]

also i hope this second update reveals what the hell keycards will be for

[native monolith]

Game development is way funnier when you have no idea what you’re doing

[native monolith]

Crazy that it’s apparently barely a fraction

Wonder if it’s more or less than half a million

[fathom wasp]

do you gotta apply to the playtest or are the invites just sent out randomly

[tall plume]

you have to apply to get a random invite

[fathom wasp]

alright, where can I find the link?

to the application, that is

[median sleet]

steam store page

[fathom wasp]

alright, thanks

[compact shard]

Fingers crossed all us hopefuls get in

[inner granite]

Game dev:
WHY DOESN'T THIS WORK?!
Why does this work?

[fresh lily]

will there be mod support for RC?

[inner granite]

Later

[tall plume]

nothing planned so far

[keen cargo]

We've yet to really discuss mod support as far as i'm aware

[fresh lily]

dang

[frigid path]

Moderators still not getting the support they deserve 😔

[fresh lily]

oh well it's best right now to focus on the main game than the mods

[inner granite]

Add message "we support moderators!" and say rc has mod support

[verbal wolf]

Put a statue of one of the moderators being held up by support beams.

[leaden venture]

so like where can i get an invite for this?

[inner granite]

Never

Rc was cancelled

Trust me

[fresh lily]

it's random

[mossy ruin]

they asked where, not when

[lyric ivy]

Ramrod need a Bar.

[median sleet]

go to the steam store page and apply

[leaden venture]

no requirements for it?

oh ok

[fresh lily]

me when i spread misinfo

[tall plume]

https://tenor.com/view/check-the-pins-kowalski-penguin-gif-20219688

[median sleet]

If you have a steam account you can apply

[frigid path]

What if I only have a Pressurised Gas account?

[leaden venture]

i did, theres too much crap to sift through

[lyric ivy]

XD

[median sleet]

depends on which gas

[late panther]

I cant wait to play play test

[median sleet]

me too!

[tall plume]

https://tenor.com/view/handsome-justin-timberlake-seriously-gif-16356362

[late panther]

Oh invites are random 😦

[median sleet]

it's a 50% chance though, you get in or you don't

probably the 5th time I've made that joke

and the 100th time I've seen that joke

[leaden venture]

i guess i already applied, thx tho

[steel summit]

I know it's status quo at this point, but just wanna say I love how communicative GSG are.

Means a lot to me, anyways. Goes a long way

[summer ferry]

Will they add breathers to rogue core

[tall plume]

they're already ingame, wdym

[summer ferry]

That's so awesome, I didn't know because I haven't played

[tall plume]

well I know REZ is in the game so probably breather too lol

I didn't really check around for them, if I'm being honest

[hollow bear]

I have pet several

[steel hazel]

We have mushed the mushies

[short holly]

Are character appearances in Rogue Core customizable?

[tall plume]

not currently

[forest rain]

I hope I get in this time! My group has been fiending for another horde shooter now that we've finished GTFO and had our fill of Mycopunk and Hellsivers

[fresh lily]

huh

just found a bug

[hollow bear]

Shoot it!

[fresh lily]

also how to report bug for rc?

[tall plume]

check the discord link ingame to join the closed testing channels

[hollow bear]

#report-rc-alpha-bug message

[fresh lily]

no access

[tall plume]

☝️

[inner granite]

Fricking doomslayers

How long have it took you

[fresh lily]

for some reason i got denied

[tall plume]

try it again

[pulsar owl]

And again

[tall plume]

make sure to be online in discord and steam too

pretty sure it messes with the bot otherwise

[inner granite]

Bot decided to rebel

Now you have to pay him

[fresh lily]

lol

[inner granite]

Fair bot pay

[fresh lily]

im offline both on Steam and discord

[inner granite]

So you have an issue

Resolve it now

[dusty laurel]

Duel flame throwers and map destruction..BOOM STICKS

[compact shard]

If they do add dual flamethrowers, that would be hilarious, and a great call back. Maybe just a fire damage upgrade for the dual smgs, if they get added

[worldly sundial]

Is there beer in rogue craft?

[hollow bear]

There will be, but not at the moment

[tame veldt]

How about beer in Rogue Core as well? 🤔

I bet there's already a Chinese copycat making a shiRty mobile game called "Rogue Craft" to try to capitalize on Rogue Core.

[ripe kestrel]

and they would have lootboxes to unlock weapons and need to watch 10 ads to play with a new class

[tame veldt]

Only 10? Sure, to unlock a minor improvement on a weapon. A new class would be at least 100 ads + purchase some "bremium" [sic] content.

[severe nymph]

Guys you know its bad when you dream about rogue core 💔

I don't even remember what happened but I'm sure I dreamed some to do with it

[tame veldt]

It's bad when you dream you can't play Rogue Core.

[severe nymph]

[median sleet]

the dreams are predictions, I dreamt about Rogue Core too and ended up getting in

next wave will be your entrance

[severe nymph]

Hell yers

[tame veldt]

But... what if the driller, wielding dual flame throwers, crosses the (flame) streams?

Oh, wait, THAT would be the way to kill a ghost monster in a haunted cave. 🤔

[marsh dust]

I can't find it in the FAQ

Do the developers plan to stop DRG content when rogue core is out?

[tall plume]

it's literally on the FAQ/roadmap

[marsh dust]

Which faq? I checked the steam one

Hmm

I skimmed the steam page rogue core FAQ again..... I might be blind

[median sleet]

#rogue-core-chat message

[bright lark]

I need rogue core

[forest rain]

About 3 years, I got them into it after Rundown 5 dropped and we finally finished Rundown 8 at the end of January. We redid the ALT rundowns when they came out so that took a while.

[quaint dove]

GSG, it is my birthday. Where is my invite?

[vapid glacier]

Does everyone have an random chance of getting access to the game if they ever give access out again?

[vapid glacier]

Happy birthday

[median sleet]

yes

[vapid glacier]

Alright nice

[median sleet]

if you signed up through steam

[vapid glacier]

I wish I’ll get lucky, I wanna see if my shitbox of a pc can run the game

I really hope it does

If it can run drg, I can only hope it runs rogue core

(I’m ignoring the system requirements and just brute forcing it)

[real comet]

Guys. What is rogue core?

[ripe kestrel]

if someone made half life 2 run on a pc without graphics card everything is possible

[median sleet]

check pins

[vapid glacier]

That doesn’t make me feel better when the game being used here is older than I am…

[ripe kestrel]

bruh im that old? omg

[vapid glacier]

😭😭😭

Only by 3 years

[frail heron]

Freaking Minecraft modding time

lol

Someone already has made a DRG mod

And/or modpack

[daring hill]

for me, DRG runs fine on an rtx 3050ti at 1080p 100fps. only problems come in when my laptop gets hot.
in comparison, rogue core consistently struggles to hit 30FPS, let alone 60 during huge gameplay with lots of enemies, especially at the max of facility 3 with 4 players

quite frankly if you are having trouble with DRG's performance, you will have a worse time with rogue core

[vapid glacier]

I run drg fine, just the occasional lag, and I run it on a pc

[median yoke]

like even tho it is indeed in UE5 and they requirement are a bit higher, they also said performance isn't really at the most optimal point intended, so in case you do I'd say you'll only know for sure when it gets full released and past thatv

[vapid glacier]

I’m staying confident

[vapid glacier]

True

[tall plume]

yeah, it's in alpha, there's a lot of optimization work to be done

[vapid glacier]

Btw these are my specs AMD Radeon R9 200 Series for the gpu, 16gb memory, and a amd fx-4100 quad core processor for cpu

[gaunt perch]

Every UE5 game runs terrible and never gets optimized

[median sleet]

satisfactory always ran fine for me, though I never got into building huge factories

[daring hill]

i need to play satisfactory

i bought it months ago but ive yet to install

[median sleet]

I played it for a bit but couldn't get into it at the time

I'd probably enjoy it though

[gaunt perch]

Devs that implement UE5/RT are seemingly so universally bad at it, that it's becoming a rule of thumb to entirely avoid the games.

[calm spear]

How do I request access to the alpha? I know there's a wait, but I want to be put in the queue

[olive hound]

If u clicked the steam page alpha button you are already in the queue

[calm spear]

Thank you!

[frail heron]

Now we all once again play the waiting game

Though I'm probably gonna be on vacation when the next round comes through, which would kinda stink if I was at the beach and I got selected

[cunning crown]

i mean which beaCH?

not gonna lie you might have to simply enjoy the beach....

[tidal crane]

For anyone that has played RC, is the Hurricane Missile launcher in the game? I saw one video that showed a few seconds of it in the intro. It was a legendary rank and had a special description. I basically shot mortar rounds and idk if this is real. The video seemed legit and never focused on it again because it was going over the classes and content of rogue core

[solid wigeon]

Cant wait to see how many different classes they end up adding, and if we'll see an increase in player cap per game along with that.
Maybe deep dive like things which can have up to like 8 players would be awesome

[digital parrot]

how can i get invited to rogue core

[frail heron]

So far I've not seen it myself from the Youtube videos

It possibly wasn't ready for the playtest

[gritty matrix]

that would be intolerable going to be honest

no way in hell you can have 8 players on an upgrade screen without chaos

[simple cloak]

modders will find a way to make it playable somehow in the far far future

[gritty matrix]

i think having more classes than player slots would be fun actually

good for variety and replay

[frail heron]

They are gonna add more classes to Rogue Core

So that will be a thing, lol

[gritty matrix]

i know

im writing against the other persons idea of increasing player cap to meet increased number of classes

[frail heron]

Oh...I didn't even see that

Yeah nah, 4 is good

I shudder to think what like 32 would be like. I've done like a 20 some odd game already and its just nuts

[gritty matrix]

more players can work for drg (albeit with a fair dose of chaos) because drg is less focused and also doesnt have (many) mandatory Everyone Has To Stand In This Spot moments

[frail heron]

I think the best description someone came up with was "glyphids, prepare for a swarm"

In fact...you know I just remembered something there. More players in RC means more players needing to stand around Ellis

Unless it would always just be 4 due to the game's calculations

[inner granite]

5 players teams?

Hmm, when we get more classes, it could be possible

[pulsar owl]

It would only exacerbate the upgrade sequence issues

[thorny cape]

if rogue core has basically the same enemeies

same engine

same models

why seperate game

why not just make it an update or paid DLC

[frozen parcel]

different gameplay mechanics

[thorny cape]

I mean

combat seems pretty simmilar

both have dropods

same U.I

like 60% of the mechanics are basically identical

maybe more

[inner granite]

It does not :p

Not same enemies, diffrend engine, new models

[thorny cape]

they both have the core guys

core spawn

[inner granite]

They work much diffrend

And it's only common enemy + loot bags and bulks kinda

Also, they wanted to not be limited by DRG systems and balance

[inner granite]

Engine is UE5 where drg is UE4 as i remember

And models maybe some guns are the same (but not all)

(not including place holders)

[pine skiff]

Devs have spoken at length on why it's not a DLC or update to DRG, here's one short post from the pins: https://discordapp.com/channels/257785731072786435/1159484202631315506/1159509566095114260

Also, adding the core stones and corespawn to DRG in season 5 was intended as a teaser to foreshadow the events leading up to Rouge Cœur

[somber walrus]

I saw in the dev notes they would be givig out keys to people, like randoms i think. How do you enter that raffle?

[tall plume]

sign up on the store page

[somber walrus]

yessir

thx

[summer tiger]

Similar at glance but loop and whole upgrade system is way different from base DRG

[summer tiger]

Corespawn crawlers behave differently in RC. They have the same model but attack patterns, behaviour and mobility vary from the base DRG

[small peak]

Sorry for the question, but what keys devs are giving out?

[inner granite]

Keys to your home

Keys to the game (no, you have to wait) (no, it is rng)

[small peak]

The new game they will release?

[inner granite]

Rogue Core, yes

[tall plume]

keys for alpha testing

(you're not given the game for free, no)

[inner granite]

[tall plume]

• We felt making it a DLC would limit the game’s potential. When we started working on Rogue Core as a prototype project, we quickly realized that we’d really have to dial down our scope and ambitions if we wanted it to all fit into Deep Rock Galactic. It’s been much more motivating (and fun) to explore new gameplay systems, art directions, weapons and damage mechanics when we don’t have to ‘justify’ or balance it with regular Deep Rock Galactic. There’s a lot we want to explore here, and we just couldn’t do that within the confines of a traditional DLC.

• You can’t do Early Access with a DLC. Early Access is a really important way for us to shape the game according to community feedback, and there’s no way to do that with DLC for an existing game. Deep Rock Galactic wouldn’t have been the success it is without a healthy Early Access run, so we wanted the same development experience with Rogue Core. For more of our thoughts and feelings about Early Access, check out the ‘Early Access’ section up above.

[pallid pilot]

do cave leeches exist in rogue core (they better not)

[median sleet]

they do

[small peak]

I thought the alpha test was over but it's still going on?

[tall plume]

there will be more testing

[inner granite]

First version is done, now they are working on update and back to tests

[small peak]

Thanks for the explanation

[vocal jewel]

i wonder how many tests there will be

i hope they take their time and are thorough with it

[hollow palm]

Realistically RC will not appeal to DRG players and DRG will not appeal to RC players.
DRG players don’t want a new extremely offshoot gamemode for free, nor will RC players want to own DRG first because “the assets are similar”
Imagine having to own Minecraft story mode before you can play Minecraft.

At its end state, rogue core will be a unique experience much more alien to DRG - and thus will likely (and ideally) create an offshoot community.

[tropic badge]

when releas?

[vocal jewel]

not today

[tropic badge]

ach echt

[tall plume]

Q4 2025

for early access release

[tropic badge]

thy

[deep skiff]

The core spawn werent really designed for DRG due to how they function and how fast they are.

[compact shard]

This is silly. I love both, and I see a lot of the community does too. Both games may not appeal to all players of either game, sure, but there is likely to be significant overlap

[hollow palm]

Right but why have the purchase of one game be tied to another

Especially since the goal is for two unique experiences

[compact shard]

It's not the best argument for why they should split the game, is all I meant

[hollow palm]

The audiences will be different, as well as include fans from drg

Yeah, there’s overlap between DRG survivor players and DRG

But survivor shouldn’t have been an arcade machine inside DRG

and rogue core shouldn’t be a new deep dive terminal in DRG’s hub

Or ideally - will eventually earn the right to not just be an alt drg, via a unique gameplay loop and successfully early access.

[compact shard]

I agree they're two different games, but target audiences being different is kind of the last argument on the list, because it relies on the argument that they are two separate games.
Rogue Core isn't it's own game because it will have a different target audience, but has a different target audience because it is its own game.

[compact shard]

The game is still in alpha testing. We only know the core gameplay loop (no pun intended). There's still tons that will be added to the game, and most of the additions would not fit into DRG mechanics.

Also, I feel like you're doing the game a disservice. Rogue Core is missing one of the fundamental parts of DRG: there's no mining objectives. There's no quotas to meet, instead it's very heavily focused on combat, with the only mining you do being the expinite you need to get new weapons or weapon upgrades during a match, or health along the way. That is a massive departure from the structure of DRG

[hollow palm]

Rogue core will not succeed as well as deep rock did because it will not have ||gunk seeds||, which are a pretty important engagement metric imo

[gritty matrix]

no they dont (ignore that hissing sound coming from the ceiling its nothing)

(yes they do)

[deft bear]

Is this the rouge cor chat? 👀

[tulip pewter]

WOW

[marsh jay]

are there any roles i can get if i have access to the closed alpha?

[deft bear]

There's a link you can click in the startup screen of the game linking to Discord 🙂

[compact shard]

Yeah, what the Feech said, there's a discord invite link that will take you to a secret channel

[marsh jay]

where can i find it?

[median sleet]

On the bootup screen

[marsh jay]

ah there it is

thanks

[daring hill]

hey can we not tell people about the secret channel we plan world domination in? thanks

you think we talk about rogue core in there? lol

[tall plume]

I'm going to shank you

[hollow bear]

Ooh me next

[tall plume]

no

[fresh lily]

they do and i dead 2 times cuz of them

[thin spire]

So, I rewatched the trailer and I believe we are getting an event bot similar to BET-C.

[silver lagoon]

Yet

[summer tiger]

there is even leech cluster warning

[fringe narwhal]

Nothing can stop the almighty cave leech

[vagrant tree]

dude i'm so excited for drg rage car

[edgy stump]

What if relics were drinks rather than gas canisters

[copper raptor]

What if the Ramrod had a loot bug daycare/petting zoo?

[tall plume]

not happening

[copper raptor]

Noooooooooo

[earnest fulcrum]

Wait does the ramrod have a bar

[median sleet]

yes, but non functional

[earnest fulcrum]

Non functional currently I assume?

Or did management just shut it down to keep reclaimers focused

[hollow bear]

Closed for maintenance until the first shipment of leaf lovers shows up

[median sleet]

they even took away Lloyd

[raven wharf]

It's turning into #suggestions all over again

[balmy roost]

Is Hollow Bough available on the RC closed alpha? Didn't see any major streamers play on that biome

[raven wharf]

yes and no

[balmy roost]

Are the stabber vines in RC

[young vessel]

we need some kind of #rogue-core-suggestions channel!

[raven wharf]

That's why I didn't notice it. Be default all of the channels in QA & Feedback are muted except for bug reporting.

[inner granite]

Can you collapse quantum state into one specyfic?

[raven wharf]

it's both, you'll just have to play it to see

[thorny cape]

I dont feel like its differentiated enough to be a standalone game in my opinion

it more fels like just paid DLC and more akin to an extra game-mode/content than anything

[astral sluice]

what's with you people

can you not read

[thorny cape]

why are you getting hostile

[astral sluice]

because I'm really angry

[tall plume]

https://tenor.com/view/awesome-ok-great-good-thumbs-up-gif-16351183

[ashen condor]

"This closed alpha version of the game doesn't have enough content to be a standalone game"
I will guess there will be more added to it that sets it apart from DRG by the time it makes it to early access, let alone 1.0

[daring hill]

Along with things being too early, here's something to consider: if this was a DLC, it'd never be able to get better.

Its impossible to do early access or even closed alpha with DLC

And you'd still be paying for it

[median sleet]

if it was a DLC, people who just want to play Rogue Core would need to buy DRG first. It limits outreach

[daring hill]

You think the game does not differentiate itself enough? If it was a DLC it would never get better than this, it simply would not be able to.

That's something so many people constantly miss

If you wish rogue core was a dlc, you are asking for a worse product that you'd have to pay for anyway

[obtuse elm]

If you get added to the playtest, do I need to accept it thru my email or will it just be in my steam library

[daring hill]

I think you have to accept it through a steam notification on the client?

If it's just added to your library I wouldn't be surprised though

[obtuse elm]

either way I don't think I've been added D:

will have to wait for next wave (if there is another)

hey so just read the dev log ignore that last part lol

[raven wharf]

there will be multiple waves, it isn't a one and done

[median sleet]

I hope I get in!

[gloomy pumice]

yo i just posted this on the DRG subreddit and i thought i would come here and ask what you all think too

My largest concern for Rogue Core is the big metal catwalk structures.

In base game DRG, standing on the Aquarq Minehead or Morkite Refinery sucks. Half of the time, a Glyphid will phase through the metal and start attacking you from a position that you cannot even directly damage it back from. When I guide new players I often find myself suggesting to them not to stand on the metal thing.

I am worried that the same thing will happen with these metal structures in Rogue Core. I hope that they have proper collision with the natives of Hoxxes and that the number one community tip for the early days doesn't become, "Don't fight on/near the metal stuff."

They look really cool and seem somewhat common and I do not want to be at an inherent combat disadvantage due to simply standing on them...

[daring hill]

Don't worry! Or I guess worry, because that's indeed happening right now

Hopefully it gets fixed in the next update

You also generally can't place platforms on them, despite artificial construction being dramatically more common and important

and they don't show on the terrain scanner

[gloomy pumice]

okay that definitely seems like something that's necessary

if they do implement such a fix for the bugs phasing through the metal i hope they can backport it to the original DRG sometime later

[old swift]

yeah they are pretty awful to fight on right now

[frigid path]

Just eat the metal

[fierce kestrel]

they could do a bundle on steam which would reduce the price if you already own either one tbh

[flint coyote]

Does anyone know if they plan to make rogue core available for console when it releases?

[gloomy pumice]

It probably will be eventually like base game DRG is but they have no plans for it and are probably not bothering to work towards it until the game hits 1.0

As far as i know, they have not ruled it out

[tall plume]

that's coming way later (maybe)

[pallid pilot]

i wonder if we will get a bar to order drinks at in rogue core i can't imagine a dwarf game without one

[inner granite]

Yes

[silver lagoon]

I mean, drg survivals exist 🤔

[compact shard]

Just cause it exists doesn't mean we can imagine it, smh.

[olive hound]

🍞

[warped geyser]

does anyone know how they choose close alpha players

i 100%'ed the achievements for a while ago i got little dissappointed so wanted to ask

[mossy ruin]

mostly randomly

[warped geyser]

okay, fair then. Thanks.

wait what you mean mostly???

[mossy ruin]

content creators / community testers / very active people from experimental builds got chosen not randomly

[tall plume]

a small group of people have received keys directly from the developers, due to them being helpful in the past

and some content creators

[warped geyser]

oh okay

thanks again

[deft bear]

Pounce hates content creators 😔

[gritty vortex]

I hope that GSG show off a few of the weapon models at some point
I wanna get a good look at some of those weapons

especially that laser revolver

[deft bear]

There have been dev streams with them playing the game, you can get a pretty good look at some of the weapons in there 😄

E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzIV58hCV5M

[gritty vortex]

ooooooh

[tall plume]

??

[deft bear]

Just poking fun at you for going "helpful people" and then separately mentioning content creators 😂

[zenith rock]

Without spoiling for those who got acess to rouge core how is it?

I want to go in completely blind but is it worth it

[sturdy blade]

Faster combat than DRG, time management is encouraged greatly, choosing upgrades to your dwarf AND your weapon.

I say this as someone who isn't in the playtest but has watched many many hrs of gameplay on stream

And dwarves can also wield any weapon, or traversal tool, what sets them apart are their unique abilities (bound to Q by default)

[median sleet]

it's fun. Good base for a game. Not a lot of content yet, which makes sense for a closed alpha

[zenith rock]

Are there class systems aside from the gauntlets or no

[median sleet]

You can find bio-boosters in the cave, which are upgrades unique to each class

[zenith rock]

Like did they get rid of the main 4

[median sleet]

DRG classes are not in RC

[pine skiff]

<@&296918282403840000>

[zenith rock]

Please tell me you can still drip out your dwarf

[median sleet]

Nope, but they might add that in the future

[severe nymph]

I don't see why they wouldn't

Half the fun kf drg is playing pretty pretty dwarf dress up

[inner granite]

There's is gunner, isn't there?

[severe nymph]

Nope

[summer tiger]

It's not implemented yet as it's not vital. Focus is now on stability, development and bug fixing

[pure vessel]

We'll make more at some point

[pallid pilot]

hope development is going well for rogue core

[inner granite]

Anders, blink if you are trapped 24/7 in the studio making rc

[daring hill]

Sadly no, the Evil Goblins of Misfortune and Terror ate the hard drive the game is stored in

[deft bear]

Not again! 😦

We told them to use at least one hard drive and a USB stick the last time this happened D:

[silver otter]

Rogue core is so cool, I've been obsessed watching the alpha videos while coping hoping they make a public alpha in the future

[tall plume]

the point of alpha is that they aren't public

[silver otter]

Ye I get that, some games do when they get closer to being ready like deadlock did for their beta

[tall plume]

yeah, that's a beta, not an alpha.

[native monolith]

I doubt it happens

I’m fairly certain I heard in a stream they plan to continue the alpha until early access

[silver otter]

True that's why i cope with classic

[native monolith]

Which, I guess is pretty much a “beta”

[finite laurel]

The plan currently is for a beta to be made public at the end of the year

[proud kayak]

I doubt my laptop could handle rogue core so I'm stuck waiting for an xbox beta I suppose.

[finite laurel]

Unfortunately it’s probably going to be a long time until the game gets Xbox support

[native monolith]

Which is just the early access

They kinda mean the same thing though

[tall plume]

if at all

[astral sluice]

Survivor is something else entirely

[proud kayak]

Damn it I meant to say rogue core

Fixed

[zenith rock]

I mean if it can handle deep rock it could probably handle rogue core right?

[median sleet]

game is very unoptimized right now

[zenith rock]

I see

[spiral merlin]

Hello

[pulsar owl]

plus RC is in UE5

[spiral merlin]

Not sure if it's okay to ask, since I didn't play it myself, but what's the enemy variety like in RC?

[zenith rock]

From the trailers it seems that instead of fighting glyphids were fighting more variants of the core stone monsters

[tall plume]

that is indeed the case

[ashen condor]

From the plethora of alpha videos GSG and playtesters have made, yeah

[spiral merlin]

Ah, I thought that people here played the game

[iron stirrup]

i think it's like 8 enemies rn

[tall plume]

some people have

[spiral merlin]

I only know we have a monkey-like corespawn

And I think there is a boss that's like a centaur corespawn

[iron stirrup]

crawler vanguard creeper clamorhead

the fire one

forgot his name

the edge stalker

vomiter and the thing that spawns boomticks

and the boss

[spiral merlin]

Leeches are apparently the only returning enemy type?

[iron stirrup]

yeah

[tall plume]

So far, we got:

• creeper
• cave crawler
• vanguard
• scorcher
• edgestalker
• clamorhead
• rafkan (flying enemy)
• the boss and a few static-type of enemies
• boomsticks (basically buffed up exploders)
• those facehugger-looking ass enemies which I keep forgetting the name of

pretty sure I'm forgetting something too

ah yes

swarmers-like enemies

[olive narwhal]

Shatterclaws iirc

[tall plume]

yeah that's the name

thanks

[iron stirrup]

the flying enemy?

[tall plume]

rafkan

[spiral merlin]

Ah, alright. The enemy variety is not too bad then.

[iron stirrup]

never seen it

[spiral merlin]

Especially considering it's pre alpha

I was worried because nobody really talked about enemies in RC.

And gameplay made it seem like we'd only be fighting the gorilla creatures.

[olive narwhal]

The corespawn creepers make up the majority atm ye with their different flavours mixed in

Similar role to your grunts

[iron stirrup]

except they hit a lot faster

and jump

[spiral merlin]

So I assume that most glyphids got replaced by a corespawn equivalent?

[tall plume]

there's no glyphid

so yeah

[olive narwhal]

You take a risk vector and ye may see alot more edge stalkers

But the creepers and such are alot more agile than your glyphids were for sure

[iron stirrup]

small head hitbox too

[olive narwhal]

The crawler is still mixed in as well including its acid blood

[inner granite]

exp bulk?

[tall plume]

could be a placeholder model for all we know

[median sleet]

I hope they make it easier to mine, takes way too much time IMO

[olive narwhal]

Simply get swing speed on slicer and they did already make carve on the loose dirt huge

But the expenite veins do sometimes become a pretty big time investment solo i guess

[median sleet]

Mainly talking about the expenite from the bulk

[olive narwhal]

Ah yeah the expenite bulk is in a wierd spot for sure

[median sleet]

compared to other events it takes a lot of time. Don't know if it's worth it

[spiral merlin]

I think it could work tbh

[olive narwhal]

I typically skip it atm ye

[spiral merlin]

Just call it the "EXP-erimental detonator" or sth 😉

[median sleet]

I do like the idea of large enemy encounters that give expenite

though expenite detonator isn't it

[olive narwhal]

They could make the expenite layer thicker atleast

Bit more per swing that way

[hollow bear]

Ehhhh

[spiral merlin]

Maybe instead of a bulk detonator, it could be a swarm of regular exploders that drop exp?

For faster gameplay?

[hollow bear]

Half the time I can get the bottom portion before time starts getting tight

[median sleet]

eh, that could be a seperate event

[hollow bear]

Poor Cooper mines slower than the immortal snail

[median sleet]

But that punishes you for getting a good explosion that makes a lot of expenite

[olive narwhal]

Could give cooper a mining buff not to the point of bosco with the upgrade tho

[median sleet]

If you just have to leave half of it

[hollow bear]

Yeah, I used to worry about bringing it to a tunnel, but I'm starting to think taking what I can get is better

The value isn't really worth grabbing a little bit then pushing on hunting events and caches/tables

Those provide more substantial benefits

[median sleet]

Also I am mainly speaking from 2 player lobbies experience. I assume 4 player it's faster

Maybe it should be adjusted to lobby size somehow

[hasty rain]

what if it’s made into “kill it for an expenite chunk, enemies killed by its death blast drop loose expenite”

[median sleet]

That'd encourage waiting/ backtracking for the swarm timer. Dunno how fun that'd be

[hasty rain]

True

[median sleet]

I guess they might just redesign it and make another miniboss if it's a placeholder

But I like the concept of the expenite detonator

so I hope they keep with a similar theme

[hollow bear]

I think if it and future events like it award some time off the clock for completion, that would be decent incentive

[hasty rain]

YES

whenever i watch gameplay i see that some events take a comically long time, notably the hammer
to the point i imagine a lot of players will deem them not worth it and thus always skip them (this already happens with the bulk from what i’ve seen, for example)
giving a “clock is paused or pushed back” reward would encourage doing as much as possible just to buy extra time for other activities (such as mining more expenite)
some other games actually do stuff like that, either pausing the timer during objectives or refunding some time for completion

[hollow bear]

Yep. The hammer, while cool, has no right being so long. Same with the crystal cracking event.

[hasty rain]

the hammer from what i’ve watched is “sprint down tunnel, activate, supremely slow escort, sprint down tunnel again, return again” so it alone eats anywhere from 1/4th to 1/2th the clock even done perfectly

[iron stirrup]

you can just jump on the hammer

[raven wharf]

There are changes to the event you haven’t seen yet.

[iron stirrup]

there are a lot of things i haven't seen

[short tree]

We need old Mission Control as an options

[pliant radish]

If Mission Control from Spacerig 17 makes appearances, PLEASE add a rare chance of distant "We're Rich!" chants in the background, with ping noises!

It fits Deep Rock Galactic's incessant requirement to overwork its employees, having Mission Control take on two missions at once

[daring hill]

he is planned to make a cameo at the start and end of a run, its just not implemented yet

[median yoke]

guys I have a quick question, more lore related, that barrier we open before going in, is it a defense mechanism or it appeard along with the grayout?

[tall plume]

it appeared with the grayout, I believe

[median yoke]

oooh got it ty

[mossy ruin]

it might be a defense mechanism as well
just not ours, but rather, the core's

[frigid path]

I wonder what kind of relationship the Corespawn have with the core, like do they worship it and that’s why they defend it from us going deeper

or maybe it’s like the ommoran and the corespawn are just a product of it defending itself

[visual latch]

They have a mutualistic relationship, and corespawn attacking you has nothing to do with the stone, they're just hunting

(I dunno, but it could be a lot of things)

[spiral merlin]

Are there any new voice lines for the dwarves?

[mossy ruin]

yes

[silk valley]

I'm dying to know what the new falconer voice *will be likeeee. I'm pretty excited there's a female dwarf now where do I audition xD

[fresh lily]

If you laptop can run DRG then it can run RC bro

[daring hill]

do you mean what its like right now or what it will be like?

because it has no unique VA right now

[silk valley]

I read a bit higher up in this chat they don't have one yet but are looking for one

[pulsar owl]

RC has worse performance than drg, inherently due to it's engine and new-ness

[fresh lily]

It's still in Alpha so the performance gonna be on the bad side ofc

I use a rtx 3050 laptop

But i still get over 90-100 fps average

[pulsar owl]

regretfully, not everyone has a 3050 or better

[fresh lily]

Ik

[daring hill]

hello GSG, I would like to ask that you only release the new update and start the new invite wave once Deltarune's new chapters are released

for the funny

force the sacrifice

[delicate flax]

rip the thinkpad alpha testers

[modern belfry]

Hi. Does anybody knows, when will be next wave of pre-alpha invites?

[gritty matrix]

tomorrow

Despite all my rage.
I'm still just a Dwarf in a cage.

1. DeepRock Galactic: Rogue Core tomorrow.
   2.If Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core is not released tomorrow, then see 1 point

[zenith rock]

How many points have been accumulated

[spiral merlin]

Are lootbugs back?

Gonna be sad if there is no lootbugs to pop 😢

[inner granite]

Number overflowed, now it's something like -1.79e308

[tall plume]

they are

[inner granite]

They are no longer

I ate them

[pulsar owl]

Lootbugs are translucent and greeeen

What would be cool is if they had shards poking out of em, but ofc that's a later thing

[spiral merlin]

So they're back, but this time around they drop exp?

[pulsar owl]

Yup

I mean, there's only expenite and red sugar

Idk what else they would drop

I'd send an image of it, if I could

[young vessel]

core stone event

[pulsar owl]

The lootbug that ate a rift stone

[inner granite]

I want "Rouge sugar!" Voice line when pinging red sugar

[high swallow]

What are you, french?

[undone badge]

When do they plan to release the full rogue core after beta?

[tall plume]

there's no announced date for the 1.0 release and I think it's far enough that they haven't planned for it yet

[undone badge]

Understandable, thank you

[frigid path]

Game needs more typos before 1.0 can be released

[neat acorn]

what if it releases as rouge core on steam

[native monolith]

April fools rebrand

[sharp bridge]

maybe if theres some kind of shop addition in the future, they could drop gold?

[rare briar]

How did the lootbugs get down there

[midnight totem]

kidnapping

[pulsar owl]

Lootbugs are not as afraid as the measly glyphids

They adapt, blend in with the Expenite

Unfortunately makes them the prime prey to dwarves

[primal grotto]

Sad life for them indeed. All those adaptation just to be kill by dwarf.

[hasty rain]

Lootbugs (and Silicate Harvesters) are not recognized as edible food by the vast majority of Hoxxes flora and fauna, and thus generally go completely ignored

[median yoke]

that scene from fairly oddparents of Turner's dad talking abt that prize spot that he'd place if he had the prize. Yeah that's me with rogue core 😭

[uncut bronze]

is the playtest already available to everyone or do we still have to wait half a year?)

[tall plume]

I think you're mixing early access and playtest

[uncut bronze]

mb

[sturdy blade]

I'm hoping there's another wave of invites soon, I've been hearing that the current players are dwindling and can only reliably do solo runs

[tall plume]

the player count was never that high past the first week tbh

which is to be expect, especially for early playtest

[verbal wolf]

I can't believe Rogue Core is a dead game.

It's as if only a very small number of people were able to play.

[deft bear]

I hear Mysk offering to play 24/7. We are so proud of you ❤️

[verbal wolf]

I thought that was the community testers' jobs while they're locked in GSG's basement.

[median sleet]

They're looking for new community testers, you have to apply here: 🪤

[glossy heath]

what need to do?

[median sleet]

sorry, it's just a joke.

[glossy heath]

and u broke it :D

I won’t fall for it again i won’t fall for it again I won’t fa-

[inner granite]

Who pingged me

Don't be shy

I won't eat you

...probably

[pulsar owl]

more like a living comedy sketch (this is a reference to siffirn)

[verbal wolf]

So how much rouge is actually in Rouge Core?

[wary tiger]

not as much rogue as rogue core contains

we must add rogue to rouge core

and rouge to rogue core

[tall plume]

wtf

[inner granite]

What has he said?

Our beloved 50$ giveaway?

[proven totem]

ops okay

I just want to try rogue core but okay I understand

[inner granite]

You are sentenced for execution

Cut his beard off

NO ANYTHING BUT MY BEARD!

[tall plume]

it would go faster to directly ask people to scam you

[graceful orchid]

quick question about rouge core, are signups available right now?

[tall plume]

[graceful orchid]

ah wonderful thank you

alright ive sent my request in and waiting for the next batch of invites, woohoo!

thank you for the help

[tight wing]

I bet you could just use that gif and answer most questions that are asked

Expected more at this point tbh

[rare dune]

surly 3 weeks after the first wave they'll do another

I just know it

[simple cloak]

Congrats to my future self that got in the alpha and is having a blast playing rogue core 🎉 🥳

[tall plume]

https://tenor.com/view/pointing-that-is-correct-thats-right-good-job-way-to-go-gif-18723702

[tight wing]

That's fair

[tall plume]

2680 results for "pin", and it's growing every day

Letter a was used ~12k times in this channel

New stream = New version = More invites?.
Tomorrow maybe?

It took me 20 days to realise I had gotten key in the PMs x)

[median sleet]

no way lmao

[inner granite]

(:

Fair enough

[median sleet]

They definitely made everyone who read that check their PMs again

[inner granite]

I keep my dms clean all the time

I don't understand how people live with 100+ pings

[median sleet]

well, it's a message request, and for some reason those are harder to notice

I also didn't notice I got a dm for lika an hour

[inner granite]

"allow message requests: off"

In worst case theres block button

[tall plume]

are they ?

you got a red "1" at the top

[inner granite]

But no button to jump there

It's just hanging there like nothing

Had to open my DM's before I saw the 'message request' at the bottom

[median sleet]

If I was a liar then why did I miss 2 message requests in the past month? 🧠 🤔

[olive narwhal]

Mine get mixed with the 10 others ones i have to deal with

[median sleet]

someone send me a message request, I want to know

[tall plume]

phone ?

[median sleet]

I was on desktop both times

[hollow bear]

You have to look for the notification on mobile. On desktop there's a red dot

[median sleet]

Yeah, you were right

IDK why I didn't see it though

Still waiting 😔

[pallid pilot]

what did the person that the cat whisper reply to say?

[wheat pewter]

yep

[daring hill]

I hope they can show off something but a new version and more invites are absolutely not happening until june

[olive hound]

We are live!

[daring hill]

New stuff in this stream confirmed!

[native monolith]

Mmm, exponite objectives

[daring hill]

BEER

I CAN CONFIRM ALCOHOL POISONING

[native monolith]

Confirmed: rogue core barrels have the power to send you through 50 meters of steel

These are the equipment upgrades we needed

[olive hound]

R.I.P in peace ammo box 😢

[frigid path]

Rogue in Peace

[daring hill]

CORESPAWN REGENERATOR?!

oh god

[native monolith]

Seems like they re named a lot of the weapons

Rest in peace ___ blaster, you will be the exact same

[daring hill]

Ooh, classes finally has icons of their own

[thin apex]

EXCUSE ME

CORESPAWN WARDENS????

[olive hound]

Yes please

[daring hill]

Nope, the description seemed to imply an unknown horror

In functionality at least

[thin apex]

Oh

Phew

I was worried because the gatekeeper regen glitch was already bad enough so having another source of healing for him was gonna be awful

[fresh eagle]

Will Rogue Core have melee weapons?

I understand them not being in Deep Rock but Rogue Core would make sense. Since you need allot of options for a good roguelike.

[tall plume]

not really

just the pickaxe and the slicer ability, that's about it

[hollow bear]

unless...

[fresh eagle]

Idea, hammer that cancels your fall damage, deals more damage the longer you've been falling in a big area of effect around you.

[mossy ruin]

you mean the minecraft mace?

[young vessel]

they already got that in an upgrade

artifact, probably

[fresh eagle]

Very nice!

[tall plume]

ah so the heavy landing artifact

without the hammer though

[vast torrent]

https://youtu.be/clw8YW73sb4

They kept getting the same questions in the live stream so I made this to hopefully lessen some of those questions 🙏😁💜

[pulsar owl]

a good question, what quantity does "several" consist of

[median sleet]

OMW to ask the questions you answered in the comment section of your video

[frigid path]

At least several numbers

[pulsar owl]

i'm hoping it can be interpreted as >2

so we won't have to wait that long :)

[inner granite]

at least 4

[ashen condor]

Oh cool. Anyway, I'm going to ask here despite you combining answers into one easy location. My question is: will Rogue Core be a DLC which adds crossplay, melee weapons, and new classes, and also how do I get an invite? Thanks in advance.

Also I shall spell it Rouge Core a lot, despite the name appearing in multiple places on my screen as I type. Because.

[young vessel]

this is the roguest core ive ever seen

[ashen condor]

Thanks, I Rouged the Core very hard on it

[delicate flax]

Rogue core is a standalone game. See pins.

[ashen condor]

I'm glad I'm not GSG staff though. People asking the same questions all the time, and actually having to respond to them, would drive me so insane

[ashen condor]

I'm not sure if you missing the 6-foot deep sarcasm there says more about you or the legions of people who have probably unironically asked similar questions

[young vessel]

definitely a mix of both

[ashen condor]

Timestamps for the questions might be worth adding. It's not a super long video, but it would still be convenient

[vast torrent]

I miss spelled rogue so many times in the graphics 😅
Pretty sure I fixed them all before rendering 🙏😅

[ashen condor]

Could have gone the other way and started with Rogue and then got progressively further from it. Rogue, Rouge, Rough, Rock, etc.

[visual latch]

Their cool new game, Rock Stone

[ashen condor]

Featuring the new classes Guardian, Spitter, Dicer, and Eagler

[lapis current]

spitter?? i thought we had enough of those in drg D:

[vast torrent]

And the 5th new class osha but we don't invite him

[inner granite]

STOP SPITTING

The air is acid!

[silver lagoon]

Spit-tacular!

[rare dune]

I was really hoping for invites today 😔

alas maybe 1 more week

[pulsar owl]

the current build is wildly unstable, so it makes good sense that there's no invites being sent
