You’re invited ||to my birthday party||

[rare dune]

YIPPEE!

[fossil marsh]

I just can't wait to play

[rotund rain]

wait faster

[olive hound]

Waiting at 4,000 RPM

[vast torrent]

Haven't played yet but something I'm noticing is the lack of bug parts flying when they get shot.

The ragdoll physics of the core spawn doesn't look as "oomph" as the Glyphids dying

[olive hound]

If normal core spawn are so nimble, they should be sent flying by gunshot/explosions in my opinion.

At least non-armored core spawn, because of weight

[pure vessel]

Yeah it still needs some time in the oven.

[frigid path]

Which type of oven?

[inner granite]

To those who have access:
What's your favourite feature/thing/enemy/ect?

[inner granite]

Nuclear oven
It uses fatboys to cook

[hollow bear]

I like the shatterclaws and the artifact anomaly when it screams at me

[olive narwhal]

I dont like the part where the artifact runs away at lightspeed

[carmine zenith]

I really like the cheeseburgers at the ramrod grill

[pulsar owl]

I'm really glad each class is being a lil more differentiated though

slicer having dash is an interesting choice, but beyond guardian being able to pick up some more minerals (i believe that is what we've heard) what are some ideas for the classes

[wintry cliff]

I hope there will be another test round, this summer

and release in fall 🙏

dont care if it would be EA

[pulsar owl]

There will be multiple more play tests so don't worry too much about that

With EA scheduled for Q4

[median sleet]

next test round will be 1 day before the early access launch

[gritty raptor]

probably yeah, they said in the last dev stream it would be in a few weeks

however you want to interpret that

but the summer lasting like what 12 weeks? that's more than a few weeks imo

[pulsar owl]

It was said that we wouldn't have to wait several weeks

[gritty raptor]

yeah paraphrasing here but it was something like couple weeks but not TOO long

[tall plume]

IIRC they said the next one would be around June

they said that like 2-3 streams ago ? don't remember exactly

[pulsar owl]

I would say it's safe to say second week of June

at the latest at least

[severe nymph]

They're actually never letting us play the game again cus they hate all of us

[wintry cliff]

I never played it, be glad

didnt get into the first playtest

[gritty raptor]

maybe the second one!

[wintry cliff]

and im not gonna watch vids

[gritty raptor]

why not?

[wintry cliff]

dont want to be spoiled

[gritty raptor]

fair enough

[wintry cliff]

until then I play more drg, gotta get those numbers up

1500 is rookie numbers

[gritty raptor]

hours? levels?

[wintry cliff]

hours

levels only 800

[gritty raptor]

omg not even 1k noob

[wintry cliff]

😔 and I play since the closed beta

life keeps getting between me and the mines

as a child, I yearned for the mines... as an adult, life keeps me out

[sturdy blade]

Kids: All the time - No money
Adults: No time - A little bit of money

[blissful geyser]

Kids: Lots of time, lots of energy, no money
Adults: Lots of money, lots of energy, no time
Elders: Lots of money, lots of time, no energy

Me: No money, no time, no energy :D

[inner granite]

where you took that lots of energy

[blissful geyser]

I do have a job it's just minimum wage.

[tall plume]

🥳

[sturdy blade]

epi

c

[wintry cliff]

Im not getting paid nearly enough for the work I do, and my workplace is pulling a weird move on me, giving me a payraise in 6 months retroactively till now...

[quartz zephyr]

Did you wish them rock and stone? Maybe that will help 🤷‍♂️

[random belfry]

Im a bit outta the loop. Are all Alpha invites sent? I did the thingy and applied at Steam page. I have like... 300+ hours of DRG yet no invite. sadgeface. Will there be more invites?

[tall plume]

pinned messages for info

[random belfry]

it was so obvious, thanks. just came to think of it coming home now😂

[clear igloo]

when will rouge core release?

[hollow bear]

The formidable crystal methemphetamine

[quartz gust]

Question about how they’re deciding who gets access: is it based on anything or is it purely random? Do you have a better chance to get in the earlier you requested access or do your hours in DRG have any bearing? I’m happy to wait patiently for my turn but I’m just curious, as I’ve never been part of something like this before.

[olive narwhal]

Completely random

[tall plume]

everything is answered in the pinned FAQ about alpha test access

#rogue-core-chat message

[quartz gust]

Gotcha. Welp, gotta hope the danger dice roll in my favor sometime soon

[stray hound]

No more Mr. Dice Guy

[olive hound]

-# Snake eyes

[grizzled surge]

if only rogue core invites were sent out based on the players with topmost hours, id be partying with my 1750

[daring bronze]

Im praying for the day I see the invite in my steam library

this game is literally exactly what ive wanted from the market

[chrome basin]

Hi one question about rogue core…
Since the player can choose any weapon regardless of class, is there anything stopping me from choosing a combination weapons that are considered in the same category and wouldn’t be possible in normal drg ?? Like for example cryocannon + m1000 or breach cutter + shard diffractor

[olive narwhal]

No you can take like gk2 + warthog for example but i believe at current you cant get weapons tagged as heavy as your starting weapon

If you want a grapple + platform gun that is also possible

[olive narwhal]

Its probably possible to have both leadstorm and thunderhead if given enough weapon vectors

[chrome basin]

Have you seen someone getting two weapons tagged as heavy before??

[olive narwhal]

I dont think so

Someone else may have

[chrome basin]

I was asking bc it would be obviously the strongest types of weapons a player could carry and I was curious if the game prevented that from happening

[olive narwhal]

I mean they are not atleast currently*

*being the current build the playtesters have access to

[pallid pilot]

to me it does not matter if i have access to rogue core's alpha test or not because for me helping in any way i can is enough even if i don't end up playing the game

[tall plume]

nope

I don't believe that is possible

[tall plume]

also you should throw your weapon knowledge out the window when it comes to rogue core as to how they might perform

they work in similar ways but their power is vastly different

(also balance is still all over the place )

[inner granite]

Balance? Who needs it

Give me my golden machine gun

[olive narwhal]

Leadstorm did not feel as good for sure but its only leadstorm in name only much like the rest of the returning weapons

[tall plume]

AC also doesn't feel quite on par to the task

[median sleet]

You guys get heavy weapons?

[inner linden]

Any news when next open alpha is happening

[median sleet]

no

[ashen condor]

I've heard it will happen on a day that ends in y

[native monolith]

Soon ™️

[inner granite]

who touched heavy gun?

[median sleet]

I swear the only heavy weapon I've seen so far was the PGL

and thunderhead once, but someone else wanted it

[hasty rain]

i swear i saw a video a while back where someone was running around with a minigun and an autocannon

[olive narwhal]

Pretty sure leadstorm was tagged as heavy if its not thats wierd when the pgl is

[old swift]

minigun felt even stronger tbh since you can get bullet hell that stuns and applies statuses like electric or poison

[stiff lance]

Omega voice line suggestion "The rising tides have found you, flee"

[olive narwhal]

You can yes

Not a great time if you dont

[faint slate]

All original guns from deep rock getting a mk 2 variant with stat changes to bring them upto par with the new guns is still the best idea I've heard for those old hunks of junk

[forest rain]

Staying true to its drg counterpart

[runic pivot]

there's no one playing right now, kinda wish they added a little more people

[glacial owl]

add me ill play

[pulsar owl]

well, there's not really a reason to play rn

[safe steeple]

rogue core seems like good game 👍 can't wait for full release

[slim fossil]

Rare sightings

[graceful citrus]

hello, can you help me understand? I didn't follow too much but what is rogue core? a Drg maj or a new game?

[median sleet]

new game, see pinned messages

[twilit ledge]

rogue core is what deep dives should have been 🤣

[median sleet]

ok

[fresh lily]

It's a new game

it focus more on speed running, complete objectives unlike normal DRG where u can take your time mining stuff.

[tall plume]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-man-no-man-no-gif-7347715096894588969

[olive hound]

Speed running?
Do you know the upgrades you will be missing if the only thing you do is going for the elevator?

Faster than DRG? yes
But doing objectives is still part of the game.

[fresh lily]

I didn't say u can skip upgrades tho

Like i said doing objective is still the core of the game

If you want a fail run then yeah skip everything and fight the final boss bare hand

[median sleet]

I am pretty sure their have been runs were people don't mine and kill anything and just run through lol

on fac 1 probably

[unreal carbon]

hello miners, i sleept a little bit - wen we got rogue core?

[mossy ruin]

early access coming in quarter 4
another playtest wave coming soon-ish

[unreal carbon]

ty a lot mate for info. Have nice vibe and i wish i and someone else get playtest in next wave - me and my dudes big fans of DRG.

[pulsar owl]

Soon™️

[junior badger]

i saw a rogue core ad in my dreams should I be concerned

[verbal wolf]

GSG has developed new technology to send ads directly to your brain.

[frigid path]

No, it just means the brain chips are working correctly

[old swift]

<@&296918282403840000>

[rare dune]

okay so 2 weeks after first wave I was hoping for a new wave, 3 weeks after I was confident we'd get it, coming up on 4 weeks and im back to losing confidence

but that just means when it does eventually happen it'll be a welcome surprise

[old swift]

or that rogue core is over...

[vocal jewel]

Rip rogue core

[pulsar owl]

As of the most recent stream, the game is not in a position where feedback can be effectively gained/given

Its guaranteed that we'll get another round this month

Here's hoping it's in the first half (second week specifically)

[pine skiff]

The core made a new character, game is cancelled

Bard Core announced for 2027

[blissful geyser]

#drg-chat message @west swan
I was thinking about it actually, I'd compare Rogue Core more to Elden Ring: Nightreign, if DRG is Elden Ring.

[west swan]

im not familiar with elden ring unfortunately

[blissful geyser]

Damn

[west swan]

i just compared it to overwatch because they went through a 3 year content drought after the annoucment of ow2, where nothing other than balance changes were added

similarities end there i believe

[blissful geyser]

Well OW2 is very much a sequel, hence the 2 in the name. RC is a spin off.

[west swan]

well that was the original scope of ow2, a pve spinoff

it ended up replacing ow1 because of poor project management

in the same way however RC seems to have taken all the resources from DRG for development

[blissful geyser]

I mean I guess you can compare them if the standard is they stopped working on one game to work on another game but that doesn't narrow it down really as a comparison. Lol

[tall plume]

except the PvE didn't happen and they've just re-released OW with some of the old bugs still present, but instead the skins are extremely expensive now - because money.

[hasty rain]

Onlywatched be like “we’re gonna add PvE campaign we swear” and then proceeding to not do that for the billion time

[rare dune]

But also RC is only taking all of DRG’s resources right now because they’re making the game itself. Once RC is fully out I see both it and DRG getting the same love for updates and events.

[inner granite]

Compare GSG to whoever made OW (i forgot)

Also, this time good old coffee doesn't have our back

[tall plume]

Blizzard-Activition

so like, one of the worst.

Ethically speaking, that is.

[inner granite]

Still, gigant vs GSG who was recording voicelines in common room for long time

[glad vessel]

Let me in

[tall plume]

https://tenor.com/view/no-gif-22669238

[frigid path]

Let me out

[median sleet]

/kick @frigid path

[chrome sundial]

Rogue core Tuesday guys trust

[bleak rune]

anyway in which we can get on the beta testing?

[inner granite]

no

[frigid path]

I was gonna say “What am I, a barrel?” but then I remembered that i’m blue like one

[median sleet]

sign up for the playtest on Steam

[glossy heath]

Is there an engineer's laser and crossbow? I don't remember ever seeing them.

[median sleet]

No

No driller primaries, lok-1, shard, breach cutter, coilgun, wave cooker

and probably some others too

[inner granite]

No aimbot D:

[median sleet]

Doesn't mean they won't get added though

[pulsar owl]

Willing to doubt them being added though

[median sleet]

but my beloved lok-1 💔

[pulsar owl]

I love it too, but I'd rather they focus on diff weapons

Also, lok without overclocks is something wlse

[tall plume]

don't take the base gun of DRG into consideration when you think about rogue core

the balance is very different

[pulsar owl]

Very true

I guess a better argument is the lesser prominence of crit spots in the core spawn

Which the lok generally specializes in

[tall plume]

Rogue Core gameplay in general tend to be a lot snappier so I don't think the lok-1 would do well in general unless massively buffed at base to not be depending on weakpoint hits

[pulsar owl]

Does the lock remain if you say do a 180?

I can't remember, if it did then I don't think the pacing of the gameplay would be too bad

Would just evolve into a flick back, get locks, and then run again while shooting

But overall, I also just want new weapons over old ones

[fierce rock]

I wonder if they will classify damage as kinetic, blast, elemental, etc and make perks/buffs that give you more damage and different effects with the different damage types

kinda like how DRG Survivor does

[tall plume]

no

[gaunt ingot]

will there be dwarves in rogue core guys?

do you think there will be enemies?

will there be things on your screen in rogue core?

they should keep septic spreaders for no reason

put them in

[median sleet]

No to all

[gaunt ingot]

they should give me a key to woke core for pride month

pretty please

😊

my name should also not be alvy anymore pls someone help me

side note gsg should hire me rn

[median sleet]

ask a mod to change it when you see one

[gaunt ingot]

what if they gave me mod

nothing bad would happen

pinky promise

[vast moss]

have they done wave 2?

[visual latch]

Not yet

[vast moss]

ok

[chrome basin]

How many loot bugs do I need to sacrifice in the name of Karl to get a beta access

???

[inner granite]

1.79e308

Better start working

[chrome basin]

If this number wasn’t bigger than the amount of atoms in the universe I would have started killing loot bugs as a dumb challenge

[inner granite]

Lootbugs Dimensions

[pulsar owl]

so you'd be down to sacrifice about 10^78 lootbugs?

[twilit oasis]

instead of sacrificing take care of it

[pine skiff]

I'm sure Arvid would be up for GSG hiring a new (unpaid) loot bug keeper...

[median sleet]

AFAIK arvid is no longer the lootbug keeper

[pine skiff]

Good for him. I've heard the psionic link with the lootbug starts causing brain damage if it's maintained longer than 12 months

[undone flame]

Petition for a objective were you defend a reactor doing something idk with heavily armored defenses or something.

Would be fun

Like the end of escort or sum

Or on site refining

[rare quarry]

Arvid went on a rampage and started biting everyone in the office, so he has been locked up together with our lootbug down in the dungeons for now

[storm mountain]

Tim please feed me Im hungry

[vocal jewel]

eat the lootbug

[rare quarry]

We literally threw in a bucket of fish for you last friday. You'll have to wait a few more days

[storm mountain]

I want men flesh

[median sleet]

another screenshot for my gallery

[deft bear]

We will sacrifice Mark to you, don't worry.

[frigid path]

We only got man flesh

men have been discontinued

[long breach]

Arvid really be eating people too now? 😂😂

[wheat river]

It's been a rough year for him, we don't judge

[inner granite]

Still better living down there than in some other companies

horryfic scream of pain and despair
You hear how happy he is?

[rare dune]

woke up today with an odd feeling that a new wave went out

the feeling was wrong

[brittle flax]

had a dream like that

was playing RC and about to get to a new event

then i woke up

[compact shard]

I was curious if maybe I had missed a wave. Good to know I haven't been passed over again ... Yet

[gritty matrix]

i suspect you will know it when it happens

[pulsar owl]

memories and dreams are a very funny thing

[native monolith]

Jump ship has a demo out today

It’s another 4 player coop shooter space game

[compact shard]

If it's not drg I don't want it

[olive hound]

sad

[median sleet]

lol that works in here? sorry mods

[tall plume]

what ?

[mossy ruin]

turns out lfg invites work for the playtest

[tall plume]

I see

[median sleet]

I always thought they were restricted in normal channels

[torn basin]

hello siffrin

[native monolith]

Fellow siffrin!!! :D

[torn basin]

ISAT's a great game huh

[native monolith]

It sure is

[visual latch]

(slaps brim of hat) This bad boy can fit so much agony

[chrome basin]

Does the access to the beta comes with friend invitations?

[chrome basin]

https://tenor.com/view/ren-and-stimpy-waking-up-wake-up-ren-stimpy-gif-2792719235976520061

[stable chasm]

You get to invite one (1) friend to the alpha, yes

Might be subject to change in the future, no idea, but that's how the first wave was at least

Obviously your friend doesn't get their own bonus invite to give to someone, or else everyone would already be in, haha

[chrome basin]

This question probably can’t be answered but I wonder if the region influences whether you can get the access or not

[old swift]

did not work when i got mine

[stable chasm]

Maybe to a minor extent, but probably not

[old swift]

but that seems to be a steam issue

[stable chasm]

Yeah steam ate a bunch of invites unfortunately

[chrome basin]

What region?

[stable chasm]

Mine worked luckily but it sucks for the others

[old swift]

US

[chrome basin]

Damn that’s not an region problem then

Getting the invite and don’t get to play Feels bad man

[stable chasm]

I think it's reasonable to expect that the devs were looking to invite people of all demographics, be it region so they can test server-related things, and various playtime/skill levels to get a good pulse on things

The opinion of a newer player is as valid as the one of a DRG vet

[astral dome]

Watch tomorrow will be a drop I'm calling it

[pulsar owl]

Given that tomorrow is a regular drg stream, I doubt it

[sly wolf]

From the message I got with the code, after activating the code I have to share it with friend to give him acces too?

Thats how I understood it

[median sleet]

No, if you got a code from a dev you don't get an invite

[mighty lake]

does anyone know if guns like the leadstorm are rarer?

I've played quite a few runs but never seen one

[median sleet]

yes, heavy weapons are pretty rare

[keen cargo]

It can't appear in the first weapon crate, im pretty sure thats what makes it rarer

[atomic narwhal]

Rogue core will fix my life

[fresh jetty]

Tbh I hope it’s a little longer before I get access because Elden Ring Nightreign and deltarune are releasing and I think getting Rogue core along with them would make my head explode from excitement

[fresh lily]

i did get the leadstorm and autocannon on 2 diffrent run

but then again they are rare

[native monolith]

I just started playing RD2 and now we have deltarune, Elden ring, silksong news, and a rogue core playtest wave soon

I can’t do it all :(

[fresh jetty]

It’s too much! Have mercy on us!

[keen cargo]

Its a good thing you'll choose to only play rogue core, right? riiiiight?

but nightreign has been pretty cool

[crystal echo]

Wave soon? Comfirmed or a guess?

[daring hill]

A guess, it'll definitely be this month though

The may news letter said a wave in possibly a few weeks

And its been 2 weeks

My guess is the June 5th stream personally

[astral dome]

Damn it

[hollow bear]

https://tenor.com/view/congratulations-played-way-to-go-gif-20642385

[native monolith]

“Our best guess is within a few weeks”

Last devlog

[native monolith]

If I get in, I promise I will only do rogue core

[median sleet]

Let this person into the playtest after you make the hotfeet flames green Johan!

[pulsar owl]

wave soon :)

soon ™️

[chrome basin]

You've requested access! Stay tuned for an email notification from Steam when the developer is ready to accept more participants

[shrewd belfry]

godddd i wanna play rogue core so bad frfr

[delicate flax]

[dapper crescent]

The fact that it's Dj Khaled in that gif is some top shelf memery.

[random laurel]

So how's the game been for the people on the beta?

[inner granite]

No beta yet

Only alpha, and its a closed one

[random laurel]

I thought it already started

[inner granite]

Nope

[random laurel]

Oh I meant the alpha then

[olive narwhal]

Alpha is pretty good start

To all new playtesters (in a few hours): There are private channels for you to report bugs and provide feedback. To gain access to those, click the 'join Discord' button you see when you boot up the game. You may have to try multiple times/ restart the game or steam and try again before it works.

To play songs on the jukebox: pick up the 2 coins on the left jukebox first. In missions there are cameras hanging from the ceiling, you can pick those up. They make you earn chips faster.

[inner granite]

That was sooner than expected

[native monolith]

Here before “when’s third wave” message

Oh no the +1 feature is gone

The 7 friends i had signed up D:

[median sleet]

watch them all get in except you

[native monolith]

I know where half of them live it’s ok

[wheat river]

"You may have to try multiple times before it works." I would say restart the game/steam if it doesn't work, most likely your current ticket is out of date

[daring hill]

make sure discord is properly connected to steam

but im sure if that fails, you could DM a moderator or dev with proof that you have access, and they could supply the role manually

[median sleet]

You may have to try multiple times/ restart the game or steam and try again before it works.

[vocal jewel]

i had to try like 5 times

i did the exact same thing every time but eventually it just worked instead of not working

[cursive laurel]

the authorization didn't work in firefox so I had to install another browser

Did they send out the invites for the second wave yet?

I'm on the edge of my drop pod

Yup

NOOO I didn't get in

god knew i would be too powerful with access

[last fossil]

its ok. we still have deep rock galactic

[high sedge]

I didn't get an invite FUCK

[sturdy blade]

Stone rock...

[glossy hedge]

stupid question perhaps but how does one know when we got invited? as in... do we get a mail or does the thing just pop up in the library or how would we notice?

[vale gyro]

aww man no invite

[forest rain]

did anyone here get an invite maybe they still havent sent them

[tall plume]

becuase they need to be able to process data and feedback

[quartz gust]

Why do I even live anymore… 😔

[median sleet]

mail

[last fossil]

[sturdy blade]

email from steam, notification in steam app

[forest rain]

itll be an email and i think it shows up on steam

[meager mica]

"Before we send out the next batch of invites, we need to make sure this update is stable. So for the first few hours after this post goes live, the playtest is still only open to those who already have access." Have they even gone out yet?

[deep skiff]

Look at the announcements

[glossy hedge]

fanks 👍

[deep skiff]

they said they sent out the invites

[deft bear]

That was some hours ago already 😛

[median sleet]

this person got in #rogue-core-chat message

[royal abyss]

I'm guessing it's a lottery or something to see who gets invited?

[forest rain]

so like one guy got an invite

[meager mica]

Oh dang, I thought the discord annoucement went out the same time as the steam post.

[deep skiff]

I guess they sent out the invites much earlier

[last fossil]

🥹 until the next wave

[sterile plume]

Steam is probably just picking people at random. GSG doesn't have control over who gets picked. And they can't do things like request that they go to people with a lot of play time or anything like that.

[forest rain]

im perishing

[high sedge]

Dude why are they not sending invites. The peak players was 100. That is actually pathetic.

[forest rain]

i need to make a meme about this

[last fossil]

wrong, theyre only inviting greybeards

[median sleet]

They just send invites dude

[distant comet]

😴

[median sleet]

No, steam picks randomly

[vocal jewel]

did the game need more than 100 peak players?

[high sedge]

Clearly not enough

[vocal jewel]

its not even released yet

[median sleet]

How would you know that?

[distant comet]

wish they turned on the invite feature atleast

[deep skiff]

People dont seem to read announcements or posts.

[hollow bear]

Way more than 100 got in first test anyway

[distant comet]

buggy or not maybe one of my friends got it so id still have a chance

[summer temple]

[daring hill]

Oh god it begins, people thinking there's some conspiracy that GSG is specifically refusing to let them personally in

[high sedge]

Cuz I watch the streamers and they aren't even able to get a full party even at peak times

[daring hill]

Once more

[sterile plume]

Well, if 1K hours doesn't count as a greybeard, I wonder what does...

[vagrant scaffold]

Since people don't read, I'll paste it here:

This next round will be limited to a couple thousand people, so your individual chances of getting access are still pretty low. We’re not using Steam’s experimental ‘friend +1 invite’ feature this time, because it turned out to be a bit buggy and inconsistent.

[forest rain]

wasnt there a friend +1 feature on the last one

[distant comet]

yeah they hate YOU specifically fr

[hollow bear]

https://tenor.com/view/station19-vic-hughes-its-all-just-random-meaningless-cruelty-cruelty-its-cruel-gif-25648805

[leaden spindle]

Time to work harder for promotion to elite squad

[distant comet]

they disabled it now cuz its buggy or smth

[forest rain]

ah i dont have any friends that play anyway

[vocal jewel]

well i specifically got an invite so they're singling out everyone except me

[distant comet]

i had a couple friends and got my brother to sign up for it

[inner linden]

I am guessing that no more invites will be sent out as of now

[distant comet]

idk who got in tho

prob none of em

[lost juniper]

devs forgot to invite me, it over 😔

[last fossil]

10k+ minimum entry requirement

[forest rain]

wait you got an invite?

[sharp moth]

Got no invite, now sad

[median sleet]

Because they were streaming after the playtest had concluded, when no-one was playing anymore because the devs weren't looking for feedback

[vagrant scaffold]

If those 1k hours are on Haz 3 then that's no greybeard.

Not like the invites aren't random anyways.

[dark marlin]

same no invite here

[high sedge]

WRONG

[iron flare]

I can definetly confirm this is true, I got a big notification on steam saying "We're never letting you into rouge core, you leaf lover"

[distant comet]

hopefully next playtest is more people

[deft bear]

The +1 was a 50/50 roll whether it did or didn't work for people, so there were definitely some disappointed people because they wanted to invite a friend but couldn't. Until Steam figures that out I'm glad they didn't do it again tbh.

[forest rain]

yeah gsg showed up to my house and told me in not cool enough for the alph

[tall plume]

nothing does except being lucky to get in or not.

Your hours or the amount of DLCs you bought are of no consequences

[forest rain]

alpha

[distant comet]

i mean 50/50 is still better than a 0% chance to invite your friend

[frozen orbit]

I really would've liked to see if it'd even run on my trash PC first 😭

[median sleet]

It was also bugged and people could start infinite invite chains

[forest rain]

if it can run drg it can probably run rogue core

[distant comet]

if thats the case its fair ig

but didnt hear that until now

[sterile plume]

If your PC can run DRG, it should be able to run RC.

[frozen orbit]

UE5 is interesting like that though :/

[quartz gust]

Aaron GSG showed up at my house and punched me in the stomach and told me I’ll never get to play Rogue Core

[last fossil]

yeah yeah, just spit out the truth already. you're only inviting people who play on haz 5 with all modifiers

[distant comet]

fr

[sturdy blade]

You too? damn..

[hushed stag]

Got no invite 💔

[median sleet]

On fac 3 during a wave I get like 20 fps lol

[forest rain]

my old computer crashed the game every like ten minutes so whatever

[hollow bear]

Me too, and I still got in. Hold onto hope.

[vagrant scaffold]

tbh for those of us who actually have friends it's kind of a relief to know there's no +1 feature because having to pick only one person to send it to is... uncomfortable.

[iron flare]

so sad, cant believe they'd do this

[distant comet]

my drg runs fine unless im playing azure weald

[stone wigeon]

No playtest for me 😭

[icy vapor]

||Unless you buy the secret DLC, then it's a guaranteed invite.||

[distant comet]

on azure weald it randomly drops to 30fps for a bit and goes back and sometimes its long and sometimes short, ts does not happen in any other game

[forest rain]

i woke up and gsg was standing over my bed like a sleep paralysis demon and then informed me id never play rogue core and then shot me

[tall plume]

if it was up to me, I'd be inviting only people who can read - which would already exclude 90% of players

[distant comet]

i can run battlefield1, cs2 and rdr2 on stable 60 fps but not azure weald i guess

[sterile plume]

oof. Condolences. Just remember, it's not the frames in your GPU, it's the rock and stone in your heart that matter.

[summer minnow]

All of GSG showed up at my house a few minutes ago, stole everything from my fridge, said "You are not worthy. Not yet, that is." and then ran off

[hollow bear]

Does that say read or read?

[last fossil]

rock and stoning doesn't require literature skills!

[zinc veldt]

can i solo this game?

[median sleet]

you get cooper, a drone

[distant comet]

i met one of the gsg employees on a walk and they randomly kicked me in the stomach and told me i am not going to receive an invite to rogue core ever

[iron flare]

the drone has a name?

[vocal jewel]

at least you got confirmation

[icy vapor]

This is Rogue Core chat, so it's read as red, like rouge.

[forest rain]

bro is feeling poetic today 🔥

[median sleet]

Cooper

[vocal jewel]

red core

[inner granite]

Rouge Sugar!

[hollow bear]

Maroon center

[sweet bloom]

Hey so are the wave 2 invites sent out or like is wirtten in the steam post delayed until the build is stable?

[median sleet]

They should be out

[deft bear]

Rouge Sphere.

[forest rain]

im coping so hard i NEED an invite

[median sleet]

That steam post is 3 hours old

[forest rain]

i NEEEEED it

[hollow bear]

Pretty sure the announcement was the opening of the gates

The one here

[unkempt totem]

Imagine not a single person in the discord gets access

[median sleet]

lol

[sturdy blade]

The post in discord explicitly states invites have already gone out

[sweet bloom]

Well if that's the case i didnt make it, thanks for the info tho!

[vocal jewel]

literally nobody has access btw

[median sleet]

Oh, my 2000 alt accounts all got access

[vocal jewel]

it's all paid actors

[deft bear]

Can confirm the devs are paid actors.

[forest rain]

i saw one message saying they got it

[hushed stag]

They did say they were gonna wait an hour or so after the post before they push out the invites cause of some bugs

[sturdy blade]

I can't wait for 1500 of the invites to either drop the game or complain that it's not DRG and quit

[median sleet]

It'll take a while before people realize they got in

[slim hill]

I got an invite

[sturdy blade]

The invites have already gone out (for the 10000th time)

[median sleet]

I didn't realize I got in either for like an hour

[hushed stag]

💔

[forest rain]

i checked immediately

[hushed stag]

nvm ig...

Before we send out the next batch of invites, we need to make sure this update is stable. So for the first few hours after this post goes live, the playtest is still only open to those who already have access.

if only...

[forest rain]

gimme

[median sleet]

Not everyone has seen the post/ announcement yet

some are asleep, at work...

[forest rain]

well ig

[sturdy blade]

Read the announcement in discord, and time that post on steam was made. R E A D

[deft bear]

Asleep while you could have played rogue core? Rookie mistake 👀

[slim hill]

The email I got came an hour and a half before the announcement on discord

[vocal jewel]

playing rogue core wh en you could've been sleeping?

[forest rain]

oh shit

[hollow bear]

Sleeper class

[forest rain]

what if theyre doing it like

not all at the same time

like trickling

[median sleet]

Nah, I also got my invite like an hour before they said they send out the invites

in wave 1

[sturdy blade]

uh oh, dev talking

[fiery prairie]

They probably would've said if that were the case

[slim hill]

I suspect that they are done sending the invited out now that the announcements are out.

[verbal bobcat]

All invites for wave 2 went out over an hour ago

[iron flare]

Well best of luck to those in the alpha, hope its fun! (Im so jealous)

[forest rain]

damn it

i will bide my time

im still gonna check my steam obsessively in case i missed it

[sterile plume]

Rock and stone, everyone. Our time will come!

[slim hill]

Check your email.

[forest rain]

I DIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[slim hill]

Devastating 💀

[quartz gust]

Not sure if mine’s left the sorting facility yet. I’ll let it slide — this time.

[rare dune]

anyone got a steam account that got access they're willing to part with? 👉 👈

I mean borrowed

[median sleet]

To all new playtesters: There are private channels for you to report bugs and provide feedback. To gain access to those, click the 'join Discord' button you see when you boot up the game. You may have to try multiple times/ restart the game or steam and try again before it works. Make sure you're logging in with your correct Discord account.

To play songs on the jukebox: pick up the 2 coins on the left jukebox first. In missions there are cameras hanging from the ceiling, you can pick those up. They make you earn chips faster.

The jukebox info is vital

[iron flare]

even if I dont get into the alpha, I look forward to picking it up on launch, love rougelites

[forest rain]

i bet rogue core is boring anyway whod wanna play it

im going through the 7 stages of grief rn i think

[median sleet]

ok, your request for early access has been cancelled

[hollow bear]

Don't forget to punch the punching bags

[forest rain]

NOOOO PLEASE GSG PLEASE

[iron flare]

pain.

[forest rain]

wait theres punching bags

fuck

i would selll my sister for this game

[hollow bear]

Two of em

[fading stag]

Requested it in the first hour and still no invitation😭 😭 😭 😭

[median sleet]

Because invites are totally random

[sturdy blade]

They do say it's completely random, but I think they're discriminating against me specifically

unbelievable

[lethal sparrow]

insert crying emoji

[spice jetty]

🇫

[quartz gust]

Ghost ship games ate my son

[iron flare]

Im actually just eating everyones invites, sorry, I got hungry

[fading stag]

I know it's not a complaint, it's just bad luck.... 🥹

[sterile plume]

How could you

[forest rain]

"completely random" thats exactly what a non completely random alpha test would say...

[sturdy blade]

Yeah...

[iron flare]

look ok, they look really tasty

[sturdy blade]

GSG Devs showed up outside my house last night just to make sure I didn't get an invite, scary stuff

[lethal sparrow]

we know, that's why we want them

[iron flare]

they're mine!

[spice jetty]

Not here to cry, but just out of interest, do we know a timescale for when the next wave is out, or how often these are likely to happen?

[tall plume]

#rogue-core-chat message

[forest rain]

no for wave 3

[hollow bear]

Some weeks

Depends on their sprint

[tall plume]

sometimes in the future

[hollow bear]

You can cry in here, too, though

[median sleet]

I think they said every sprint and a sprint takes a few weeks. But the devs vacation might be coming up so it could be longer

[fiery prairie]

Given that wave 1 was almost exactly 1 month ago, I can only presume maybe once a month?

[minor locust]

People, witch was invited, how many hours did u have?

[slim hill]

Wdym?

[olive narwhal]

Number of hours is irrelevant

[forest rain]

yeeah they specifically stated that

[mental leaf]

did they send out the invites yet or still waiting to test the stability of this update?

[iron flare]

its completely random, theres most likely a lot of applicants, and they've so far only released in relatively small waves

[median sleet]

they send them out

[forest rain]

when do they think the beta will be ready

[iron flare]

sent out about an hour ago

[hollow bear]

#rogue-core-chat message

[minor locust]

In noticed said, that he watched on this to

[hollow bear]

Just clipboarding that for later

[mental leaf]

i feel discriminated against

[hollow bear]

In five minutes

[sterile plume]

First wave was basically a month ago almost to the day. Expect a few more weeks before they do a third wave.

[minor locust]

Note*

[median sleet]

did they send the invites out yet?

[iron flare]

going off roadmap, early access will probably be Q4 2025

[vocal jewel]

im only level 14 and i got in so i dont think it matters

[hollow bear]

#rogue-core-chat message

[median sleet]

holy moly

[forest rain]

all the good games coming out 2025

[tall plume]

yeah, that's what they've said on the roadmap

[forest rain]

cant wait for half sword

[hollow bear]

I could probably pre paste it for quicker results

[vocal jewel]

more players have been invited to rogue core than silksong

[minor locust]

Im writing from phone and cant copy that sentence

[ionic vortex]

when next wave

[tall plume]

when it's ready

[fathom widget]

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

[ionic vortex]

ok thanks

[vocal jewel]

are we there yet

[fathom widget]

damn embed fail

[iron flare]

we'll get there when we get there

[sterile plume]

This discord disables gif embeds and emotes from other discords.

[minor locust]

However, im not one, so people, witch testing this game, make great for us.
Rock and stone, miners

[fathom widget]

fair

[sterile plume]

Yeah, one less moderation headache.

[median sleet]

@native monolith did your 7 friends get in?

[inner granite]

any gifs ect

[native monolith]

99% of rogue core applicants quite before they get in

[native monolith]

Lemme check

[inner granite]

Only image allowed if pfp and local emotes

[rigid sleet]

NOOOOOOOOO this is so sad i didnt get in 2nd wave. Enjoy the game brothers o7

[vestal patio]

LET ME IN!!!!!!!

[inner granite]

We all got in except you

[native monolith]

I think they’re all asleep rn

[forest rain]

lemme check my email again

[median sleet]

If you don't check your e-mail you got invited and didn't get invited at the same time

[forest rain]

still dont have it guys :(

[forest rain]

schrodingers closed alpha

[steel summit]

I'm not lucky anymore 😦

[tall plume]

schrodinger invite

[vestal patio]

do they only invite youtubers?

[tall plume]

No

being a content creator got nothing to do with getting an invite or not

[forest rain]

i think youtubers are different

[vestal patio]

damn im just unlucky as ####

[forest rain]

well wouldnt gsg give some of them codes to display the gameplay

[inner granite]

Pounce, if i give you my firstborn child, will you let me in?

[forest rain]

pounce if i give you this dude will you let me in

[tall plume]

some did on the first wave

but for alpha, it's not a thing you want to push for

[sudden eagle]

are the invites already sent or are they gradually coming out?

[steel summit]

Probably only for the first round, like the YT'ers they invited to come to their HQ & play RC before the closed Alpha

[tall plume]

no

[inner granite]

Out

[vocal jewel]

they're out but if you have enough copium they are still being sent

[inner granite]

In

[forest rain]

maybe they forgot mine

maybe it got lost in the mail

ill check my email again

[inner granite]

It fell of a truck

[vocal jewel]

my dog ate my rogue core invite

[forest rain]

hm they havent sent it yet

thats okay

[bold hawk]

1st test is live
Steam: a game is on sale
2nd test is live
Steam: a game is on sale
(thx steam for getting my hopes up)

[forest rain]

wait which game

[median sleet]

I wonder if I can get invited again, since the steam page still says I signed up for access

[bold hawk]

void crew

[quaint ice]

I just got an invite mail from my uncle in Nigeria wohoo

[forest rain]

looks interesting

wait let me check my email rq

well i gtg anyway itll be there when i check again

[cerulean spoke]

[olive hound]

Back to the bench

[frosty imp]

😦

[olive hound]

:sadcore:

[sudden eagle]

invites being sent in a few hours right?

[frosty imp]

Sent already apparently

[tall plume]

they've already been sent

[unreal helm]

a few hours, 4 hours ago

[sudden eagle]

rng blows

[proven current]

back to the dumpster ig

[bold hawk]

at least i got nightrain

[unborn plank]

Lovely, didn't get in this time either

[split ridge]

rip 😦

[rich cradle]

I know half of us are here to complain but it def feels like only bots are getting keys lmao

[tall plume]

bots ?

[unreal helm]

Given that the keys are random, the most effective method to get a key would be to bot, bit I doubt it's happening to that degree

[tall plume]

most people getting the invites might not even be in the discord to begin with

[rich cradle]

(In my mind its like scalpers getting gpus though I'm sure it's not like that)

[unreal helm]

Rogue Core just isn't big enough to get hit by bots, tbh. Probably just not a ton of invites going out.

[hollow bear]

Damn scalpers ruin everything

[rich cradle]

No I get that, wasn't a serious comment

[bold hawk]

2 invites is all they have given out

[median sleet]

selling my steam account with Rogue Core access for 50 error cubes

[bold hawk]

deal

[proven current]

besides that i suppose the chances are still very slim to get an invite

[median sleet]

Alright, bring the error cubes to me within the next 4 hours

[bold hawk]

so how do i bring the cubes out of my pc?

[tall plume]

selling your account goes against Steam guidelines

[unreal helm]

same. back to basically never looking in here

[acoustic ginkgo]

Prays to Karl for a fruitfull rogue core bounty

[tall plume]

Banning you from Steam immediately

[median sleet]

The cubes will guide you

[tall plume]

no more Rogue Core for you

[covert forum]

[median sleet]

You also work at steam?

[tall plume]

oh no

[bold hawk]

[proven current]

in a month or so but yeah

nope, was today

I have 14 friends who signed up for the beta test and no one got a key

[rotund root]

Oh man

[proven current]

welp gotta eat crumbles from dev streams

[median sleet]

[e-mail]

[unreal helm]

tbh I don't even need to get in. I'm fine waiting for the actual game to come out. I has to come out eventually, right?

[bold hawk]

watch tomorrows stream just be them giving out keys on stream

[pure vessel]

Sure. We'll increase how many get int the further we progress as well.

[proven current]

has to, it says so in the roadmap that it'll come out this year, prolly at december

[bold hawk]

exponentially or linearly?

[compact shard]

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

I know the embed will fail, but the title says it all

[proven current]

i dont think there are any keys to speak of, the game isnt finished at all lol

[tall plume]

nope

[proven current]

and there isnt steam invite this time arond either

[tall plume]

yes, for the reason explained the last steam post

[bold hawk]

it is a free space... anything could happen

[compact shard]

I want to rogue in the core!

[median sleet]

you're looking at the wrong day

[compact shard]

Tis a shame I have had bad luck yet again.

[bold hawk]

i am blind

[tall plume]

what ?

[proven current]

sigh... what i wouldnt give to be in the playtest, at least for an hour

[compact shard]

I got into both marvel Snap tournaments, but I can't get into my most anticipated game of the year. Sadge

[median sleet]

there's a 'free space' stream next week

[tall plume]

they've never given keys during a stream, you either get in through the invite or you don't

[bold hawk]

it is next week and wasn't even the right day

[tall plume]

free space only means they don't know what they'll be streaming

[median sleet]

They're gonna be at a petting zoo

[pure vessel]

I don't know. I think exponentially, but plans change

[bold hawk]

that would be a good compromise

[median yoke]

have the invites been instantly sent already or is it still in the process of sending to ppl?

[proven current]

yeah they are gonna dress some sheep as a lootbug and pet it for an hour straight

[median sleet]

they've been send

[iron flare]

free space is them just releasing rouge core, as well as drg 2 and 3 (jk)

[median yoke]

aah ok ty

[tall plume]

big if true

[glass tundra]

Praying for access 🙏

[tall plume]

[median sleet]

They're gonna announce the switch 2 port too

[tall plume]

check your mails and find out

[bold hawk]

rouge core will be sold out on steam on day one... somehow

[bold hawk]

i checked my mailbox... there was only mail, nothing about access tho

[iron flare]

were there any boxes?

[tall plume]

boxes ?

[proven current]

boxes?

[iron flare]

yeah, mailbox, there was mail in there, what about the boxes?

[compact shard]

Maybe the courier is just late with my email D:

[bold hawk]

mailbox... aka not my mail

[proven current]

oh yeah definetly, a box with a single little daddy longlegs in its web and my access request for rogue core

[buoyant scroll]

I'm struggling to find this info: I apologize if it's glaringly obvious. When does this playtest end?

[crystal ferry]

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

[iron flare]

when the game releases I'd assume

[compact shard]

I already did that #rogue-core-chat message

[tall plume]

it doesn't "end" until release of early access. People who got access once have the access until official release.

[buoyant scroll]

ooo. Awesome. I've been thinking about starting streaming for a few months. And this just gave me a good reason. But I need to setup the stream features so I was worried it might take too long

Thank you for the info!

[iron flare]

No problem!

[bold hawk]

well time to go into hibernation until next invite wave

[unborn plank]

Kinda disheartening not getting in

Especially as a roguelike connoisseur

[bold hawk]

same

[proven current]

time to put another 50 hours in balatro ig

[unborn plank]

I still gotta do gold

So yeah

[tall plume]

in the meantime, yall should go play Roboquest

[iron flare]

yes

great game

[bold hawk]

vr mode?

[unborn plank]

Is peak but meh? Kinda burnt out

[proven current]

that and deadzone rogue are bonkers fun

[tall plume]

understandable

[unborn plank]

I'm kinda of a really big critic of ghostship in general, so I wanted to give hardcore feedback as well

[mossy ruin]

sorry, but they added 28 new achievements to risk of rain
I must head back to the achievement mines...

[proven current]

have been watching gameplay of both, cuz i have 0 money to buy em

[unborn plank]

(Don't hate them, just want them to do the best)

[bold hawk]

well il join ya on that

[tall plume]

🤝
Roboquest good tho

[unborn plank]

Dead zone rogue is kinda nice yeah

Might actually play and finish the OG rogue

[rich river]

no rogue core 😔

[fluid jacinth]

did they send out invites yet

[tall plume]

yes

[hollow bear]

Yup

[fluid jacinth]

so i didnt get in 😔

[elfin snow]

did they say how many they're sending out

[woeful flint]

If you have gained access, how does one share it with one of their friends?

[median sleet]

a few thousand

[median sleet]

you can't

[fluid jacinth]

any of you got it?

[elfin snow]

damn

[proven current]

you dont

[rich river]

at least i get deltarune today i guess

[woeful flint]

Wait, did they not mention that you can give access to one (and only one) friend of yours?

[elfin snow]

me and my friends didn't get in both times

[median sleet]

that was in wave 1, but it was too buggy

[proven current]

oh yeah definetly, this time you cant due to bugs

[rich river]

i dont think getting in a closed community is a trait that i have

[near leaf]

The news letter said they would wait a few hours to send out new keys, has that happened yet

[hollow bear]

Yup

[near leaf]

Thanks

Game devs that have 10 million monthly players on their main game: "let's let in 4 fellas to the playtest and make sure 3 and a half are steamers or YouTubers" /hj (sarcasm of course, kinda does feel like that though)

[thorny merlin]

Didn't get in again 😔

[woeful flint]

That's unfortunate if true, my friend got it and I was hoping we got to play together

[thorny merlin]

🤝

[proven current]

it is true sadly

[acoustic ginkgo]

Maybe they're slow for me too 🥹

[buoyant scroll]

Wait I got in with that slim chances???

[proven current]

yes, chances are still very slim

[buoyant scroll]

jesus. What happened to my bad luck

[tall plume]

there isn't 10 million monthly players no 😂

[buoyant scroll]

no I mean the low amount of players who got in. Obviously not 4, but I figured some few hundred players maybe

[tall plume]

and we don't have numbers on how many people requested access either

[unborn plank]

Actually in the DRG data sharing thing they did in 2024 it was 10mil monthly players

[proven current]

wave 1 were few, this wave added a thousand more slots for access and even then I still didnt get access, not complaining tho I just have bad luck

[unborn plank]

(wait no maybe that was sales)

[buoyant scroll]

Ah okay a thousand slots. Nice. Still some very good luck compared to normal for me

[tall plume]

that was 10 millions unit sold

since 2018

[unborn plank]

Apologies, kinda cooked

[tall plume]

no worries

10 millions player monthly would be fucking insane lol

[unborn plank]

Ah 1million active users monthly

And Roguecore has like 50k followers?

And there would be people that didn't follow but requested

[wary tiger]

ok fellas

[proven current]

i still have to get every dwarf to gold to get every achievement in drg

[wary tiger]

enough chitchat

time to hop on the ramrod

lets go

the core wont unrogue itself

[median sleet]

hopping on in 4 hours

[proven current]

ill follow in a month or so when i have access

[wary tiger]

you should hop on ⚡NOW!⚡

[proven current]

[tall plume]

yeah, something around this number

Let's assume 1/5th actually resquested access

[hollow bear]

#discussion-rc-alpha message
You ain't unroguing anything

[unborn plank]

I would disagree, I feel like more people would request then follow, since following is realistic a secondary action

[thorny merlin]

i thought I heard somewhere there's about a 1:10 requested to access granted ratio

[tall plume]

It's impossible to know for sure but I'm pretty sure there's less requests than follow, because following is an older thing

[wary tiger]

[tall plume]

so it had more time to build up numbers

[unborn plank]

Actually quite the fair point

Still, I'm a little salty I didn't get in lol but like 3 of my friends did

[unborn plank]

It's impossible until a GSG employ plays hotter or colder with the question

[tall plume]

probably like 3000-4000 people actually got invited since the testing started.

From which only 5-10% are probably joining the discord (probably less than 5%, actually).
And a small portion of that are actually giving feedback and playing the game for more than 5 hours.

[compact shard]

Is there any way for me to convince gsg to keep hitting the "send invite" button until I get an invite? Lol

[proven current]

im just sad, but at least the team is taking feedback and polishing the game in the meantime

[tall plume]

I'm not even counting people who got access but didn't actually play it - which I'm sure there is a few of

[unborn plank]

For sure,

I remember my take watching a video on the game was "I would pay like 30 dollars for this already"

[tall plume]

but yeah, we only have a very small vision of what the playerbase is ever actually like - because most of that goes for most games, not just alpha test

[median sleet]

yes

[vocal jewel]

i think for most people who really want in it's actually better that they didn't get to play yet

[compact shard]

If I've learned anything from the marvel snap tournaments, it's that some people will flock to announcements, and then neglect to do any follow up, lol

[vocal jewel]

the game is still very unfinished

[tall plume]

probably

[vocal jewel]

it's very easy to burn out if you play it nonstop for 2 weeks

[unborn plank]

It's a double edged sword

[tall plume]

I've learned that from people constantly not looking up info and/or forgetting them after a week

[vocal jewel]

and i think for most of these people the experience will be way better if their first impression is a more finished product

[unborn plank]

True but it's already peak..

[compact shard]

"check the pins" you say, for the millionth time
"What pins" says the newcomer

[unborn plank]

Just gameplay loop is 👌

[steep charm]

You say that but I am someone who actively tries to break games and they won't even let me do that 😭

[vocal jewel]

the game is definitely good but its good for like 20 hours then you start hitting the limits of the existing content

[delicate flax]

Would the invite only be on if you open desktop steam?

[unborn plank]

This from personal experience?

[tall plume]

that's part of it but not the only thing

It's just been a constant thing for years, inside and outside of moderation

[compact shard]

You would also have an email

[tall plume]

in real life too

[vocal jewel]

im at 29.4 hours of which some is being afk

[knotty island]

How can i get my friend a steam key too?

[delicate flax]

Makes sense

[tall plume]

you can't currently

[unborn plank]

I kinda see you're point but the gameplay loop is more complex then batlro, so perhaps it would keep my monkey halo 2 brain happy forever

[delicate flax]

once they implement some kinda system to grind towards it will add something to do and make the missions pointful probably

[vocal jewel]

once the game is finished i definitely expect it to be one that can provide 3000+ hours worth of playtime

[sinful yew]

Sooo
Am I "lucky" or still no invites?

[tall plume]

invites have been sent already

[unborn plank]

I hope, tbh though it is kinda "DRG but roguelike (with gunplay and movement, not saying they are the same, same yk) "

[vocal jewel]

the movement is better (ziplines are good)

[steep charm]

I may never understand why it took them making a whole new game to buff ziplines but I am not complaining

[mossy ruin]

...for now they are

[tall plume]

Because we had faster ziplines before and the cheesing was even worse

[unborn plank]

-was in the drg discord
-sad I didn't get into roguecore -playtest
-mfw they do the 3rd wave 5 -hours later letting everyone in
-Rock and stone!!

That did not format right

[steep charm]

I don't know how I forgot about the instant transmission ziplines but yeah that makes a lot of sense lol

[vocal jewel]

ziplines are a lot less cheesy in rogue core because u actually are incentivized to go fast

[hollow bear]

They're S tier in the core

[vocal jewel]

they're still really good at cheesing elevator though

[tall plume]

also these spitters are fucking snipers

you do not want to sit on those

[delicate flax]

The fruit gushers are fruit gushing

[unborn plank]

I hope we get wave 3 in like 3ish weeks because birthday

[vocal jewel]

i hope we get wave 3 tomorrow but only 1 invite gets sent out

there would be no practical reason to do this but it would be extremely funny seeing people react

[drifting acorn]

Im excited for the new invites to go out but I know I ain’t getting in sooo…

[unborn plank]

They stream themselves doing it

[steep charm]

I hope we get wave 3 tomorrow and more than 8 entire people get in

[unborn plank]

It does feel like that huh

[forest rain]

ok email update
my invite still hasnt come

[delicate flax]

It should be me very specjfically

[unborn plank]

Happened like 2 hours ago

[delicate flax]

Just so people ahve someone to get pissed at

[drifting acorn]

I don’t think they have been sent yet

[vocal jewel]

people can get pissed at me

[forest rain]

no they just missed me

[vocal jewel]

its ok

[forest rain]

any time now

[vocal jewel]

ill just play rogue core where they can't bother me

[unborn plank]

People don't read

[delicate flax]

I think you guys should all hate ajfish

[drifting acorn]

[unborn plank]

They sent them out

2 hours ago

[tall plume]

they have been send already

a few hours ago

[forest rain]

[drifting acorn]

Damn

[forest rain]

its coming any second now

trust

[dapper crescent]
