rogue-core-chat

[unborn plank]

I do fear they'll leave DRG to rot if RC does well and i know DRG is done but it's one of the best evolutions of a game like L4D2

[regal pivot]

only time can tell my friend

[unborn plank]

I ran some rough numbers, based off monthly active DRG players and such

most likely 500k to 750k asked for a invite.

and if we be reasonable and look at the peak players.

most likely.

25 to maybe 50k

got invited.

though

some of those accounts aren't being used.

so like 45k is the max i would say.

and something under 20 is reasonable too

[regal pivot]

if i could compare it to anything I would say I hope it goes the same way as diablo... diablo 4 came out and is being actively worked on with major updates... but diablo 3 seasons are still progessing.. diablo 2 remaster is still being actively supported. granted that's a much larger company that can afford to do those things but the fact that I prefer D3 over D4 but i get to see some progression and activity in D3 is very important to me.

Has anyone here played Ark?

[blissful slate]

ahh yes peek i once asked them if sticking yourself on a cactus as a rest spot was intended. they thought it was clever and kept it in

[unborn plank]

yeah that is fully fan, it's like 60 people, though the guns that do the overclocks could have gotten a week to cook something up for DRG every month and on the 3rd, drop

or something.

i feel like they could get a tiny tiny bit of content still into DRG.

that isn't just cosmetic

and dropping a cosmetic DLC during the RC days

wasn't cool

honestly.

[regal pivot]

honestly, i'm just glad... as i'm sure the studio is... that DRG was a big enough success that they are making variations the game. I'm not going to call it a true sequal but a variation, much like Deep Rock Survivors... which yes i do own

[unborn plank]

eh

Survivors is good (was in the beta for that one personally)

but

the gunplay and overclocks are peak within DRG

so i want to see more.

of that.

because the 2nd best thing is HD2

and HD2 isn't in the best spot rn

[blissful slate]

one thing to look forward to on rogue core they have alot more freedom to make things compared to galactic where if they wanna make a weapon they gotta make 4 and a list of overclocks n upgrades

[unborn plank]

ah cool

[regal pivot]

I'll admit, i jumped on the HD2 hype train and got deep into it for a while. Though i haven't been very active on it for maybe... the past year... I've only played a few times recently.

[blissful slate]

like new weapon? boom, new dwarf? yeah sure lets make a scottish dwarf

[unborn plank]

fair, killed the game performance wise, did some really dumb PR based stuff and kinda abused a youtuber, and killed a youtubers CPU and GPU from performance issues.

[teal lion]

my friend is overly critical of everything and not to his benefit, he watched me play 5 mins of rogue core and complained it looked more like halo then drg and was worried the game would die because of that im like its in alpha and what even does it looks more like halo then drg even mean u mean it looks old like older graphics or was it because i was running around in the weapon cache areas yelling GETTING READY FOR WAR!!

[unborn plank]

and content hasn't been here.

[regal pivot]

but think about it from the studios perspective... to continue they need to bring in $$ and that's something that DRG has possibly reached it's end of line with for sustainability. They have to continue making SOMETHING to sell to keep $$ rolling so they can do anything.

[unborn plank]

cwazy.

[blissful slate]

am i suddenly gonna have a run where i suddenly become a ticking time bomb and can kill everything and never die by going afk? probably

[unborn plank]

to some level yeah

[open venture]

complaining about the graphics in a closed alpha very early version of the game is kinda weird

[unborn plank]

complaining about Graphics in general is weird.

[open venture]

true

[unborn plank]

games can look bad

it's all about the fun factor.

[regal pivot]

i disagree with the assesment. while playing RC i couldn't distenquish it from DRG with 1 exception... i'm mostly fighting slothj creatures now instead of overgrown ants

[open venture]

deltarune is fire

[teal lion]

while being perfectly fine with games like fate remastered, and its lack of graphics and gameplay 😛

[unborn plank]

yah, Graphics are a side piece for sure.

[regal pivot]

loved undertale, couldn't immerse myself into delta rune. not sure why

[unborn plank]

like HD2 should over even worse looking settings instead of DLSS

and makes the game

unreadable

lol

[carmine zenith]

please keep the chat on rogue core

[unborn plank]

Sorry.

[teal lion]

i hope when it does go into early access it has enough time to cook, because that is when im most likely able to convince my friends and other streamers to (bite) so to speak and play with me

[open venture]

ive had so many less experiences of being overwhelmed in rc compared to drg

[teal lion]

by the time long cook games come out of early access alot of friends are hessistant to touch it due to not being of part of it already lol

[open venture]

but that might just be cus im locked to easier difficulties

[regal pivot]

we're only trying to compare other games to what we're currently critiquing RC for. I apologize if it seems we're straying off topic. It's meant as a comparison

[open venture]

not to get off topic again but hades 2 was early access for a long ass time and still had a huge full release

[carmine zenith]

this chain of 3 messages was definitely not comparative

[regal pivot]

i have been over ran in DRG more times than i can count. where i have done large loop kiting paths so i can pick off enemies while waiting for opportunities to raise my fellow dwarves. It feels like people are trinyg to say DRG was never hectic and chaotic when it was. RC has challeneged me, but not in a way that has felt different from the past

[open venture]

one thing that will never not be funny to me is booting up rogue core and hearing my fans kick up to max speed through my noise canceling headphones

[open venture]

im trying to say rogue core feels less chaotic so far

but like i said im still locked to easier difficulties

[regal pivot]

ah, sorry if i misunderstood that then

[open venture]

rogue core has yet to match the oh fuck energy of seeing 12 macteras pop into view as i hear 4 septic spreaders in the distance

and a bulk detonator on the way

[fossil crag]

I have depth level 3 unlocked but iam sticking to two for now

[feral sapphire]

how do ye order a round of drinks???

[regal pivot]

then i'll try to be more focused. sorry about that, though i think that all stemmed from the graphics conversation. I'll personally try to keep things more on track

[regal pivot]

i think that's a function that hasn't been added yet

[open venture]

literally unplayable

[feral sapphire]

NOOOOOOOO I NEED MY GLYPHID SLAMMERS

[open venture]

how am i supposed to enjoy my space mining bug shooting roguelite if i cannot alcohol

are corespawn still bugs

wait

[regal pivot]

calm down, if it was literally unplayable that would suggest you have been unable to load it up to experience it! Try fine tuning your aguemnets a bit.

[open venture]

unplayable

[regal pivot]

.<

[feral sapphire]

how are we going to find those pesky pointy eared leaf lovers, I am not going to have any fairy elves on my ship

[regal pivot]

<---- is a pesky pointy ear lover... i'll see myself out

[open venture]

wait so what silly name are we supposed to have for corespawn then cus im almost certain they aint bugs

[feral sapphire]

they need to let me pet ellis and it will be 10/10 game

[meager loom]

YES I was thinking that too

[regal pivot]

💯

[feral sapphire]

he is just so loveable

[meager loom]

I tried to pet him during my first run

[feral sapphire]

me too

[open venture]

i bought a plushie of molly thats also a cooler that can fit like 4 regular sized cans

[regal pivot]

hold on... quick question... and hoenst question... does anyone else miss molly?

[open venture]

gonna have to buy another one of ellis ig

[open venture]

no

[feral sapphire]

she may be slow and obnoxious, but I think I miss my wife

[open venture]

deadass love ellis

fast

press c

she there

poggies

[feral sapphire]

maybe ellis and molly should get married hear me out

[meager loom]

Who are y’alls favorite classes so far?

[tall plume]

why would I miss molly when I have better molly ?

[regal pivot]

COME OOOONNNNN. she was da queen! she showed you da way

[feral sapphire]

she's our ol reliable

[open venture]

i do miss drop pod runs

the panic of getting your ass there at the end of a mission

[tall plume]

ol' reliable at getting in the way more like

[open venture]

now we just dr strange up

[regal pivot]

i've only tried ripper... i want melee focused weapons

[meager loom]

I’ve only tried guardian, and I doubt any class is going to be as fun

[open venture]

only tried retcon so far and it took me 2 runs to figure out where the loadout terminal is so the abilities confused me for a while

[regal pivot]

and our good old trusty molly would show the unitiated the way... that's a kind of mothers love

[feral sapphire]

molly hate will not be tolerated, say what you want, but she is always there for you, even when she was 50 miles behind

[open venture]

slicer sounds fucking fire as a diehard scout main

legend 3 on scout

1 bronze star on everything else

[sleek swallow]

"she was always there for you, even when she wasn't"

[open venture]

grappling hook and flare gun my beloved

[meager loom]

I picked guardian because he sounded like driller.

If you can’t tell, I love driller

[regal pivot]

i think i keep callign slicer ripper for some reason... idk... long day... tired

[open venture]

flare gun doesnt feel as necessary in rc compared to drg

caves are so much smaller

[feral sapphire]

I really hope they add more ores, I really liked finding all the cool flowers, and upgrade ores in drg, so i hope something akin, (even if cosmetic or whatnot) will come to the game

[open venture]

and the only mineral on walls is exp

very visible

even in complete dark

[open venture]

rip and tear

[meager loom]

Is it just me, or is expedite more satisfying to mine than any DRG mineral?

[open venture]

it does the silly shatter animation

[hollow bear]

basically bright green morkite

[regal pivot]

i used it and i disagree. unless your gamma is sety to I SEE EVERTHING having a flare seemed to make a difference. Not so much in over FOV but in being able discern smaller movements and having better clarity on enemy movemnt

[tall plume]

[regal pivot]

plays the only thing they fear is you

[open venture]

i felt so useless in solo missions in drg if i played anything other than scout cus i was spamming f every 3 seconds

in rogue core the regular flares are doing fine

[feral sapphire]

We need gold... and mushroom, I need to show the new guy what we do to our mission directors

"we're rich"

[regal pivot]

seriously though, when i chose the melee class i was wanting to go ham with melee attacks as if I was Krieg in boarderlands 2... instead i found i was playing a long to mid range character with a close range oh shit button

[meager loom]

Yeah, but we do have comb bud. Have you tried comb bud?

[open venture]

i mean you can if you get the upgrade thats 20 hp of red sugar per double weakpoint hit

pickaxe the weakpoint and simply dont die

[regal pivot]

i still say i want to be able to right click to attack, instead of holding the right mouse button

[feral sapphire]

i miss my best friend bosco, and steve

[open venture]

just wait until we can hypnotize corespawn creeps/bruisers into George

[regal pivot]

if I just right click, i'll see the pick appear but when i stop holding the click the animation cancels.... so i can't click to attack which bothers me

[feral sapphire]

Jimmy

[open venture]

corespawn feel more George

George vibes

[regal pivot]

please dont' bring up steve... i might cry

[feral sapphire]

steve is love, steve is life

[regal pivot]

also... we basically have bosco 2.0... sooooooo

[open venture]

cooper out here fucking shooting a rocket at the cave leech that grabbed me before i even get stabbed

cooper the goat

[feral sapphire]

Bosco low diffs cooper

[open venture]

friendship with bosco ended

i am friends with cooper now

[regal pivot]

it's give and take... i think cooper is a definate combat upgrade personally

[open venture]

me getting +30% cooper crit chance for the third time this run

[feral sapphire]

I wish they would have made lloyd the new bosco, Lloyd has been serving me oily oafs for years, I need my boy with me

[hallow canyon]

How long will I have access to closed alpha, I was just selected but I’m very busy this week and I don’t wanna miss out

[open venture]

lloyd is gunless

[open venture]

someone said until early access drops

idk how true

[hallow canyon]

Oh shit

[regal pivot]

i'm sure a lloyd variant will make an appearance. If it doesn't, there will be riots

[hallow canyon]

Amazing is true

[open venture]

its pretty close to going into early access

[feral sapphire]

my headcanon is that with all the tips we have given him, he has opened his own space bar

[hallow canyon]

But pretty much I have access permanently now effectively

[open venture]

current rogue core feels very early access ngl

[open venture]

youll have to pay for early access when that happens tho

[hallow canyon]

Yeah only “rough” part was coming to grips with new mission structure, I am so lost lol

[frail heron]

Well we only got 1 month yet and then its in EA for everyone

I can wait that long

[hallow canyon]

But yeah I’ll pay, I was just worried it was temporary access, then wait till early access

[open venture]

like i said i just saw someone say that

idk how true it is

[hallow canyon]

Gotcha

[frail heron]

What I can't wait for is to skip the holidays and Maria Kerry

[open venture]

heres the plan

go deaf and get a cochlear implant

turn it off when you hear the song

profit

[frail heron]

Nah just shoot every speaker in every store

[open venture]

carry an electromagnetic field device that disrupts all speakers programmed to play the song

[frail heron]

EMP YES

[regal pivot]

alright, last comment for the evening incoming...

[frail heron]

I guess we'll see though if we get another wave of keys tomorrow

[inland yacht]

Heyo, what do you do when your expenite is full? Is there a mule equivalent I am supposed to give it too?

[open venture]

the intro video says rogue core is meant to be a multiplayer experience but it just feels so solo to me cus its a roguelite

[open venture]

press c and drone buddy comes in

[inland yacht]

Thank you

[open venture]

the R.E.P.D

i remember the name cus its like R.E.P.O if it had a d

[frail heron]

I need the R.E.P.D. ASAP

[inland yacht]

Follow up question, what does it do? The name makes me think its XP

[open venture]

i remember seeing the name in the bottom left and i thought it said repo and i was like guh?

[inland yacht]

I was just collecting it because it was a rock

[open venture]

get enough for the silly roguelite upgrade

top right says how much until next

[frail heron]

Its the only resource you mine in RC as well, at least right now

[inland yacht]

Cool thank you again

[inland yacht]

I desire more rocks

[frail heron]

Honestly they could add more ores if they wanted to, but only 1 hit

With reg DRG it takes so long to mine gold cause it takes 2 hits, but if everything is 1 hit then its not so bad

That's also without Mr. EXPLOSIVES PLACED yet

I'd totally expect them to add something similar to a Driller class in

[regal pivot]

I want to see Rogue Core as it's own game. not just a deep rock galactic 2. The devs tell you when you go to play it you're not playing deep rock galactic but a seperate game. If that is the true intention then please keep in mind that means there will be some new features the game but means there may also not be some features from DRG carried over. Do I hope they continue supporting DRG, absolutely... I think that's the majority reason we're all here to begin with, because we enjoyed DRG, but this isn't just a continuation of DRG it's supposed to be something different. A Switch Up. I want to play something new and constantly saying I want it to be more like DRG is only going to impede the progress of turning Rogue Core into it's own game. Lets focus on how we can improve the game, not revert it or maintain it as the original.

What can they do different character wise and make them better? Not how can they make class B more like class A. Class B should be it's own unique thing and that's what I really want to see. I want the switch up. I want a new game. I want a new and fresh experience, not just a polished version of the last.

[frail heron]

ooooo, how about a smaller satchel charge that's like antimatter or some crap

[frail heron]

That's not really the intention of it it, its more of a parallel game

[inland yacht]

Ok

[frail heron]

2 games in the same universe that have different game mechanics and styles to that gameplay

[inland yacht]

I have more questions

Where do I get more bullets?

[frail heron]

Ammo resups placed throughout the cave

[regal pivot]

When the devs directly tell you that you are supposed to be playing a different game, I think it should feel like a different game

[frail heron]

I mean to me it will be very different to regular DRG

[inland yacht]

Cool thank you

[frail heron]

It just being a rougelite is already different because its a different genre

[ebon niche]

man

i linked to rogue core with the wrong discord account

and i dont know how to fix this

[regal pivot]

honestly, as of right now, RC feels like it could have been a game mode variant in DRG, it's not it's own game yet

[frail heron]

Well, yet. But the core mechanics are pretty different. They have said they were kinda wanting to make it as an expansion originally, but with what they wanna do its not really possible

It would effectively be a sub-part of the regular game that everyone might go to and it would just split the player base up

[regal pivot]

alright, so you can see the pitcher of koolaid right in front of you but still think you're drinking something else... got it. And with that I say, Goodnight!

[frail heron]

Kinda like how 99% of people in War Thunder play in Arcade and no one in realistic...then when you wanna get on with your friends all they do is arcade or screw around instead of the more serious battle types

From a development standpoint its also a lot more complex then it might seem on the surface

I'm sure mods for regular DRG of RC stuff will also happen

And vise versa

[regal pivot]

So what you're saying is... in Warthunder, it is still all the same game, with different game mode variants... which is what I'm saying RC is for DRG... keep drinking your koolaid.

[frail heron]

Yeah that's not as dramatic a change

RC has major changes vs regular DRG does and would require a lot of game reworks to make it balanced

[tall plume]

might wanna cool it down a bit

[frail heron]

Anyway, yeah. I understand what the difference is from a technical standpoint between the 2 games even though others might not

And that the path will eventually diverge a lot farther then it currently is

[harsh brook]

What would be a primary differentiator in your opinion that you would like to see added? What is missing to make roguecore its own game?

[frail heron]

That's a good question I'd like to know as well

[regal pivot]

different weapons, variations in how weapons behaved and functioned. So far each weapon I have utilized in Rogue core have been imported directly from DRG, the biggest difference is, instead of having a baseline weapon that you get to preset it's modifiers for, you get a random weapon selection that you get modifiers for as you go. Otherwise you got sloths as enemies instead of ants.
I feel like there's nothing new in RC that couldn't have been directly added to DRG. That's how I feel for it's current state. I would love to see more update and changes and have it behave differently from DRG. AGAIN! The devs tell you, you're not playing DRG, but when 90% of the game is a DRG rip, it's hard to see you're playing a different game.

The biggest difference!!!! (goes into game with a preset load out) to (get your loadout as you go based on RNG)

[tiny cloud]

so, just got into the alpha and || the weight platform bit is 100% not fun ||

[regal pivot]

could you define "weight platform" for this dumb dumb. I will say the edge grabbing and climbing felt a bit off but i just contributed that to the game being (rough around the edges)

[median pier]

Absolutely love this game. Cannot wait until a full release. Better than DRG in every way. Thank goodness GSG made this masterpiece

[regal pivot]

could you elaborate on what makes it better? please and ty

[tiny cloud]

There's a relic thing || where you have to put like 20 barrels on a plat form to open it || and its' 100% not fun due to distance to move the dang things, the amount you need, and the time crunch, especially when you can have that as both path options so you basically just get a penalty for the run, and no benefit because of the design

[regal pivot]

👍 understood!

[median pier]

Same engine, same cave gen, same gunplay, better enemies, better game loop, better unlockables

Better classes

Better guns, better audio

[median pier]

That sounds godawful!

[regal pivot]

i will do say the new abilities does add a variety to gameplay but what i want to see with that is ways to improve those abilites to make them feel more unique and powerful. The gameplay loop, i believe, has just been simplified. If thats what you enjoy then go for it! Go bonkers! That's 100% a personal preference but personally i feel like they took away from the gameplay loop more than they added to it. Better unlockable? Maybe i just haven't made it far enough and invested enough time to enjoy them. Will try to follow up more on that later. The guns... i feel are the same... i haven't found a new weapon yet. maybe i just need to play more but every weapon i've used so far were ripped straight from DRG with maybe a few new modifiers which don't fundamentally change how you use the weapon. For the audio, i also feel like several voice lines were ripped from DRG. It's not any cleaner or more crisp and I feel like Omega's voice feels out of place given the environment.

You're opinion is yours and I'm not trying to say you're wrong, simply that I disagree. It's possible I haven't spent as much time in the game as you but from what I have seen I have a different opinion.

If you enjoy it, I certainly hope you continue to do so. As for me, unless the game has more significant changes, I see no reason for me to buy it instead of continuing to play DRG

[median pier]

DRG is the best horde shooter. Nowhere else for that genre to go, unfortunately. Now it's time for DRG to become the best roguelite. I have over 2000 hours in DRG and I'm highly interested to see the variety this new genre brings

[summer plover]

who would I need to talk to get my friend access to the playtest? He's requested it way earlier than me (months) and didn't get invited last time and I somehow got invited when I barely requested it

[regal pivot]

i'm highly invested as well, certainly not as many hours as you but still invested. I want to see it become the best it can be as well!

[median pier]

Same! Cheers to more great co-op shooters!

[regal pivot]

i'm not sure how invites are being managed. My wife and I requested access on teh same day. I got acccess, she did not.

[regal pivot]

❤️ 👍 again, I sincerly hope noone takes my critique as angry critism. I hope it's constructive in some manner.

[wicked tangle]

how do you text chat

[winter spade]

woke up, saw that i had an email and steam notification, wasent rogue core

[icy summit]

use enter to open

[feral sapphire]

I just played about 4 games today, do all the missions end with the same boss?

[void haven]

thank you!

[last pond]

I believe so

[random flint]

So i think i found the most busted perk thing for spotter, its the armor on kills (since you get so many)

[proud sleet]

Is "Unstoppable II" and onward passives bugged? Those give extra throwing force, and even since I took them, I couldn't even throw the toolbox for half a meter

[upbeat maple]

atp im just praying for a taste of the closed alpha

[winter spade]

same

hopefully more invites today

[wet swan]

i got my invite to the alpha today fyi

[craggy portal]

is there any way to get a person into the alpha if I already have access? I want to play with my wife and son but I was lucky to get in today

[winter spade]

WHY NOT MEEEE

[winter spade]

no invites, atleast, not anymore

[upbeat maple]

lucky ass

and ive tried

each and every time

[craggy portal]

well I hope they get in then lol

[upbeat maple]

yeah gl buddy

hope they get in

[near kayak]

oughh checked steam today, jumpscared by roguecore access

[upbeat maple]

lucky

[winter spade]

i got jumpscared by rogue core forum notification

[void lava]

yesterday was my bday imagine how cool it would have been if i got access

[winter spade]

darn bro, well happy late birbday

[void lava]

Thank you!

[winter spade]

do you guys think playtest 4 will be the last playtest before early access?

[south kiln]

this build feels so good

[tall plume]

probably

unless they have a delay

[winter spade]

if they have a delay they might say that in the "on the horizon" thats happening in 6 days

[limber pecan]

How does one unlock customisation for the characters

Because I don't see a shop or unlocks

if there is customisation

[nova summit]

I GOT IT

LEZZ GOO

[winter spade]

why is steam not picking me

[median sleet]

in missions sometimes

[limber pecan]

Oh are they like a side thing?

Similar to crates and stuff from og DRG?

[tall plume]

yeah

pretty much

[neat acorn]

I'm huffing hopium, but are the invites still being distributed, or if I didn't get one by now, then I'm not getting one from this wave?

[winter spade]

spare some hopium lad

[neat acorn]

🫂

[median sleet]

I think they said there were going to be multiple invite waves for update 4

[tall plume]

they did

it's written in the last news, which is in the pinned messages

[median sleet]

You expect ME to read???

[winter spade]

thay said this week, idk if there will be more after

[tall plume]

hard to say for now, considering we don't have a release date yet

[median sleet]

Maybe they're sending more invites without announcing them

[winter spade]

then we takin the gamba

[daring hill]

Wanted to make a "decision" I guess, for the sake of consistent terminology

when referring to the floors and depth of a facility, please use the format F# D#, with # corresponding to the floor and depth specifically

so F4 D1, F5 D2, F6 D3

much like the shorthand of haz# for DRG, having a shorthand for this would be great

but it's only really useful if adopted

[tall plume]

wrong channel ?

[teal lion]

Could of swore i read something that said more invites going out thursday and friday, but either way hope u guys get in, just got to play first time today and its fun/addicting even solo

[slender kindle]

Hello guys, quick question if anyone can help. Are you able to send in multiple surveys for rogue core or can you only send in one survey?

[teal lion]

Cant wait to play it with my friends and wife, im so gonna be the person up ahead triggering random bosses and then running back to the group screaming ‘elp me ‘elp me

[daring hill]

there will only be one more wave

and that is today

[coral brook]

I wish im here got roghes core

[daring hill]

you might get it in the next wave

which should be soon

[coral brook]

I like making huge bases on coop games

Wish we could make barricades and stuff

[dark urchin]

Let us know when we've missed out on the wave

[teal lion]

Ah but the wednesday post said tomorrow “thursday” and friday too for invites but guess timezones are a thing maybe today is there friday 🤷‍♂️ , now back to dying to slow slow solo death

[leaden forum]

how i can play the playtest?

its lucky?

[rigid cloud]

Yep that's the only way

[leaden forum]

😔

[bitter moth]

Probably been asked a lot but how long do these playtests last?

[tall plume]

until the game releases

[ebon niche]

i cant seem to get access to the playtest specific channels despite clicking the boot up discord linking thing, it just says access to the link is denied

[bitter moth]

Oh

I thought they were like just limited times

[ebon niche]

is there anyway to fix this? i just want access to the rogue core LFG channel mainly

[cold steeple]

Had that same issue

[ebon niche]

:( sucks

[wheat river]

Before or after logging in with discord?

[ebon niche]

atleast for me, i think my issues is that i linked the wrong account, my browser had a throwaway discord logged in to it, it linked it to that i believe

[wheat river]

Alright. Yes you can only link one account, there should be an unlink button in game instead?

[tall plume]

a throwaway account 🤔

[wheat river]

I.e the link button should be replaced with a "unlink"

[ebon niche]

for whatever reason, it says not linked, if you mean the pre start up menu

[ebon niche]

its there pretty much to be server owner in my own server and then locked away because i got hacked a long time ago and dont want to have my shit deleted if i get compromised again

[uneven carbon]

@tall plume

[tall plume]

?

[wheat river]

DM me your steam account id and I'll unlink it manually.
Pounce or Tater can you assign her the role? Currently out on an event on my phone

[tall plume]

I think something is missing from your original question @uneven carbon

[tall plume]

done

[uneven carbon]

Asking if the Devs could view the average playtime per player for Rogue core and if you know what it may be.

[ebon niche]

thank you both very much!!

[tall plume]

they can yeah, no idea what that would be though, they haven't shared this info

[uneven carbon]

Alr ty. Is there a way to maybe ask the Devs about it?

[tall plume]

you can ask one of them when they come around in this channel I guess

[uneven carbon]

Alright, Ty.

[hollow bear]

Should have HYUH'd instead of HYAAAAH'd

[pulsar owl]

Should be one final invite wave today right?

[daring hill]

yes

[pulsar owl]

I see you everytime I come here, literally the messenger of the alpha chat lmao

[boreal imp]

So since we past 1pm it is over ?

[sly yoke]

do any one know if its possible to get a invite code for a friend. non of my friends got one so im going solo🥲

[hazy nebula]

got my invite ezpz, not sure what everyone's complaining about

ok i was going to follow this up with a trollface emoji but they are illegal here apparently, so use your imagination

[pulsar owl]

I think there's still a lil more time before it can be considered over

[iron flare]

I assume there'd be an announcement for it?

[boreal imp]

Thx for keeping hope alive

[pulsar owl]

the playtest began 2 days ago, approx 1.5 hours from now,
announcement happened the next day around this time, not sure when that day's key's were sent

[iron flare]

I just wanna play :(

[native monolith]

Soon™

[iron flare]

I'm huffing dangerous levels of copium

[raven wharf]

You could try huffing some patience. Early access is currently planned for later this year.

[iron flare]

I've been huffing that since I saw the early access announcement

I'm gonna buy the moment I can

just sucks I (and plenty of others) have been unlucky enough to enter right at the start and not get in

I know its completely random, but still sadge

[raven wharf]

Look at it this way. The longer you wait the more of a complete product you get.

[native monolith]

You don’t even have to really wait that long till news

6 days till the OTH

[iron flare]

true

hopefully some big announcements

[native monolith]

And idk if we ever got confirmation more keys are being sent Friday but maybe

[rigid cloud]

What's that?

[iron flare]

Over the horizon

stream about drg and rc

[native monolith]

Big ghost ship news

[rigid cloud]

oh sick

awesome

[native monolith]

We’re close enough to the end of the year it’ll either be a release or delay announcement imo

[iron flare]

"we'll invite more tomorrow and Friday too."

[iron flare]

if delay, will be forsaking karl for the knife ears

[native monolith]

That’s what they said in the log but in the stream they said they don’t really know what they’re gonna do

[iron flare]

Ah

[native monolith]

You can see the development progress, if they delay it for more polish or content I’m fine with it

I think we’re close enough to a finished game for EA from what I’ve seen

[iron flare]

Good to know

[rigid cloud]

Idk about that honestly

I think they're better off with a little more polish and make up before putting it out because a super early, early access generates bad reviews that'll make the game look worse on steam when full release comes out

but I don't know as well as them obv

[daring hill]

eh, I think it's fine now

keep in mind that DRG's early access launched in a DRAMATICALLY less unfinished state

[iron flare]

how would it compare to drg early access content wise?

[rigid cloud]

never played drg on EA launch so Idk

[daring hill]

Rogue Core's first closed alpha version was ten times as polished as DRG's EA launch was

[iron flare]

Oh

[rigid cloud]

interesting

[daring hill]

and it wasn't even that particularly good!

Falconer kinda sucked and the armor system was terrible

[tall plume]

dramatically better than DRG launch in EA

[vestal mist]

was it one of the anniversaries semi-recently where you could go back and play the early builds?

that was WILD

[rigid cloud]

I think the feel of character abilities is my main complaint rn like the activating them feels bad ykwim

[tall plume]

you could check it out yourself if you're curious, the legacy version of EA still lives on in Steam

just go into properties => beta => drg + legacy and select "legacy" in the launch option

[rigid cloud]

I should be able to bind slicer shield and blitz to one button yk and then not have to hold Q to use the sword

[tall plume]

have fun going back in time

[iron flare]

I remember it pretty well, got drg september of 2018, a few months after EA launch

[nimble jewel]

my friend got in the playtest and i didnt and im rather salty (i probably wouldnt be able to run it anyway lol)

[iron flare]

the anniversary stuff was amazing to check out, I remember seeing drg being played by some youtubers I watched (I think yogscast?) and I loved the concept of the game

was one of the first games I even got on steam, instantly hooked, has been my go to game since

[vestal mist]

Yogscast was my first exposure. Picked it up a while later (2019 i think) and i've been in love ever since

[iron flare]

heres to hoping they release rc to ea on over the horizon

[daring hill]

if it wasn't so close to the new build i'd actually suspect it

[turbid spruce]

My brother got into the alpha and want to invite me in to, but he's not sure if they discontinued it or not.
I'm here to ask if anybody knows anything about if they did or did not discontinue the inviting a friend in.

[iron flare]

discontinued friend invites iirc

[tall plume]

it is discontinued

[iron flare]

was buggy and didn't really work

[uneven carbon]

Any idea when today or is it just throughout the course of the day

[iron flare]

no clue

[native monolith]

Yeah, it’s always an annoying effect

• game is early access, explicitly stated to not be done

• “why is game not done?” thumbs down

[native monolith]

Like 5x content currently in rc probably lmao

Depends a lot on where in the alpha though

Lot happened then

[empty glen]

How long does this round of playtest last? I won't be home before this Sunday... 🫠

[raven wharf]

Until early access launches. Just like the last couple.

[feral sapphire]

how many mission types will there be?

[daring hill]

zero idea

[tall plume]

there's no "mission types" in RC

so to speak

[daring hill]

there is a framework for mandatory objectives outside of getting to the exit elevator, but there are none actually implemented yet

[feral sapphire]

dang, will there be more boss types in the future, like maybe a corespawn dreadnaught or smth

[daring hill]

However, there are 3 types of facilities, mainly for their length. 4 levels, 5 levels and 6 levels

there are also for depth difficulties, ranging from 1 to 4

[tall plume]

yeah, there will be more bosses

[daring hill]

I have no idea what their DRG equivalents are though

[feral sapphire]

awesome

[daring hill]

If anyone knows what difficulty each depth compares to in DRG terms, I'd like to know. Is Depth 4 meant to be comparable to Hazard 4 or 5?

[feral sapphire]

imagine we get an deep dive equivelant

[visual latch]

They mention in the latest dev stream that the idea for RC more or less came from deep dives

[neon cove]

Chanced upon a lobby with the mighty Mekill himself, what an honour

[torpid helm]

Has the final wave of invites been sent out yet?

[daring hill]

Not yet sadly

Soon™

[torpid helm]

I really hope I get in

[proven current]

It will probably be like yesterday, after a certain hour it will send invites at a slow rate

[torpid helm]

Oh, so it's not a "everyone that gets selected gets the invite as soon as the wave starts" but it's gradual? Well, that gives me some amount of hope to get in

[glass depot]

i really hope one of my friends gets in cause hes the one who told me about it and somehow i got the invite and not him

[sweet bloom]

Was today's invite wave sent out already?

[fiery prairie]

Doesn't seem so, however we should just skip to the part where we wallow in sadness that none of us got an invite

[daring hill]

Got yet another PSA for yall: Don't be picky about high ping, because you can't. It is better to have a full team with mismatched ping, rather than a duo that has low ping.

[sweet bloom]

How long have you been waiting? I have been waiting since the first public playtest.

[hollow oak]

me too!!! its so unfair

[fiery prairie]

Same, the second sign ups were available I was on it

[sweet bloom]

So we all know this pain...

Well may the RNG be with you!

[fiery prairie]

Eh, early access is next month (they have yet to say otherwise) so it's not so bad at this point

And next week's big announcement is unlikely to be a delay announcement given that they're advertising it as a, well, big announcement

[sweet bloom]

Image it is the 13'th and the big announcemt is.... ROGUE CORE II

[fiery prairie]

Rogue Core expansion for the board game :V

[tulip python]

Is the third round of invites out?

[torpid helm]

Holy crap there is 24 devs online right now

[slow loom]

They prob all laughing on us about how we begging for an invite lmao

[winter spade]

Bruh

[torpid helm]

They can't really blame us tbh, they are making an incredible game that we all want to play right now and not "soon"

[tulip python]

If I was a game dev it would be very funny if a bunch of people wanted to play my currently unfinished game imo

[torpid helm]

Irdc what state it's in, LEMME INNN

[broken depot]

I got an invite this morning

[tulip python]

Oh

[sweet bloom]

How long ago was morning for you?

As in hours

[slow loom]

Tbh looking from all the streams etc rogur core looks already more like a beta than an alpha

[tulip python]

Somebody I know got in so I just played on their account and yea, it’s a lot of content for a playtest

[slow loom]

It looks also really polished... Didn't notice many bugs

[torpid helm]

So it's a playtest that's in the state of near EA, with a few placeholder icons

[tulip python]

Theres no ping functionality

So id say it’s still a decent ways from EA ready

[daring hill]

no invites

the two waves were rolled into one single wave yesterday

if you did not get in yesterday, you will not get in ever.

[torpid helm]

Aw man

[tulip python]

Sad

[proven current]

Welp

[torpid helm]

Either way, I was late to the party anyway, it was only one or two months ago I got DRG, so I'm still technically a greenbeard

[tulip python]

That’s good and all but for EA they just need more things in mission like enemies imo

I don’t feel like there’s a lot of enemy variety (I’m sure this will change but just for rn)

[paper schooner]

100% agree

What we have now is the bare minimum. Enough so that we feel we can focus on getting other stuff done before returning to making more enemies.

[slow loom]

Source? 🙁

[paper schooner]

Me.

[slow loom]

I dont trust you 😂

[paper schooner]

Good call.

[tall plume]

but I do trust you, are you telling me I shoudn't ? 😔

[tulip python]

Oh and actually, if your here I do wanna say something id like to see is the enemy pool change in each stage, from what I’ve played it seems like the enemy pool is the same for all stages

[paper schooner]

No, I'm telling plexx they can't trust me.

[slow loom]

Naaah welp... Lets wait for 13 novemeber than 🥲

[hollow bear]

the sound of a million dwarves wailing in unison

[proven current]

Can i get in pretty please?

[paper schooner]

IT starts with 2 enemies on level 1 with an extra enemy added to the pool for every leve you descend.

[paper schooner]

That's next week!

[tulip python]

Ah, ok with more enemy variety it’ll probably feel a lot better then

[olive narwhal]

Do the crawlers and bruisers take up a slot or does that fall under creeper promotion sorta like DRG

[tulip python]

Also just wondering sometime in the future (probably beyond ea ) do you have plans for some kind of endless mode?

[slow loom]

What i would change for reclaimers to make them little bit cooler... Include laser pointer into their gauntlets (like when falconeer sending his bird) and also reviving other dwarves should be somehow an animation with their gauntlets... That would both look pretty sick

[paper schooner]

Individual slots

[slow loom]

Tell me EA is not far without telling me

[paper schooner]

We keep talking about it at the office. So I think chances are good that we'll do some sort of variation of that further down the line.

[paper schooner]

#rogue-core-chat message

[tulip python]

Also do wanna say it’s crazy how you guys converted the gameplay of drg to a roguelike and honestly nailed it so far

[paper schooner]

I'm glad you like it. It was quite a process...

[slow loom]

i would like to send you the gif from 96 hours "i will find you"

[slow loom]

hoping for a 10 stage rundown like in survivor 🙂

with special rewards after you complete such

[paper schooner]

That would be like... 2.5 hours!

ish

[slow loom]

YES... YES, i like that lol!

[pulsar owl]

gg, guess I wait til december

[tulip python]

Oh out of curiosity will the future seasons of drg have some effect on rogue core? Like say if plague fall happened after rogue core was released would you have meteors passing by the ramrod? Not expecting gameplay just some visual further reinforcing they are in the same universe

[paper schooner]

Not sure but it's a cool idea.

[maiden orchid]

I'm surprised I got into the playtest

[tulip python]

Oh and how much lore will there/ is there to be discovered about the core creatures

[vestal mist]

was it pure lottery to get in or was there some sort of deciding factor

[tulip python]

Lottery

[feral sapphire]

Those explosive tiny spiders are so annoying

[vestal mist]

okay figured

[vestal mist]

theyre TERRIFFYINg

[feral sapphire]

i died on the final boss guy when I had a good build because they kept going through shield

[slow loom]

imagine the thrill youre on last 2 stages and everything gets chaotic but you want to beat it for a special weapon paint job or armor.... thats real endgame, possibilities are endless for this game, i really do hope we will get a good endgame content for special rewards (coming from a >3k DRG veteran :D)

[feral sapphire]

idk how I feel about the boss at the end, sometimes i really enjoy fighting him, but a few times they have given me an extremely tiny arena where you are given almost no agency to move lest you fall in a giant hole and die, or are in a dead end

[paper schooner]

Our approach to lore is the same as with DRG. So minimal text and mostly a collective head cannon.

[paper schooner]

😈

[tulip python]

Oh yea

[hollow bear]

Wait until you see the little robots

[tulip python]

I think melee should be more viable against the final boss

[tulip python]

What

[paper schooner]

The bubble shield you get from the equipment crate?

[feral sapphire]

the armor

they would tick my health before armor

[hollow bear]

The little missile bots that the scavenger bots poop out

[tulip python]

Haven’t seen those yet

[hollow bear]

Enjoy it when you do 🥲

[paper schooner]

wha...

[paper schooner]

Oh you summer child

[feral sapphire]

my health was depleting from the spiders explosions when I had max armor

[tulip python]

Oh also is the error cube or things around it/ referencing it gonna be in rogue core

[paper schooner]

armor does damage reduction so you always take HP dmg

[feral sapphire]

oh thx, didn't know how it worked, that makes more sense

[paper schooner]

[REDACTED]

[tulip python]

[paper schooner]

But Stone Skin (our temporary health system) absorbs all damage

[raven wharf]

It’s all a simulation. DRG simulates mining hoxxes to show what it’s got. They get more investment money to buy better computers from said investors to have better simulations. Rinse and repeat.

[feral sapphire]

idk if anyone else has experienced this, but I was playing with randoms earlier, and I was playing slicer, and a falconer player was taking every melee upgrade that would fit my build really well despite not using melee, I think the trollers got easy pickings in this game lol

[raven wharf]

Order of pick selection rotates every upgrade. Communicate with your teammates. Just because a class is good at one thing does not give them exclusive access to that upgrade.

[feral sapphire]

ik, I am just saying there is def gon be crazy trolls lol

I can envision it now

[raven wharf]

Then kick them and move on

[feral sapphire]

true

[paper schooner]

Welp, I got to run. Catch you all next week. 👋

[feral sapphire]

I wonder how falconer is going to be treated by anybody with c4, will falconer be treated like the scout

[hollow bear]

We're gonna have to take it all the way back to kindergarten with Rogue Core. "Remember kids, sharing is caring!"

[deep glen]

can i share drg rogue core with a friend so we can play?

[iron flare]

Nope

[deep glen]

damn

[burnt glacier]

gonna try rouge core! (My dad got a closed alpha, so I’m playing it on his shitbrick of a pc, the graphics are gonna be sweet!) i’ll give a review.

heya, so quick question.

I finished watching the intro, and it says there’s a playtest channel?

[daring hill]

yep

button when you launch the game, on the same screen

[burnt glacier]

I wanna go INTO the playtest channel, but i don’t necessarily have uh

my discord on my dads account

i do have proof i watched the intro,

so uh

yeah

[tardy sandal]

Is access still going out rn or is that today’s batch done?

[daring hill]

a mod might give the role if you ask really nicely + provide proof of access

[daring hill]

no more invites are going out, now or ever

[burnt glacier]

OH SHIT

OK

SO

IM NOW IN A LOBBY

[burnt glacier]

ok! do I just dm a mod?

[daring hill]

aye

[burnt glacier]

alrighty, thanks for the advice, mate.

[winter spade]

so im not getting in

[daring hill]

nope

[raven wharf]

You too can play rogue core for the price of whatever GSG charges for it when it launches into early access!

[winter spade]

if its the same price as drg it better be less than that for early access

[burnt glacier]

cheers mate, sent a dm to a mod.

thanks for helping me!

either the pc is bugged, or there’s a problem with the audio.

[grand jasper]

must say im really enjoying rogue core

[winter spade]

and i wanna enjoy rogue core

[silent summit]

When did they mention it?

[hollow bear]

#discussion-rc-alpha message

[silent summit]

I don't have access

[hollow bear]

#rogue-core-chat message

I was gonna forward a forward but that's extra

[silent summit]

Ok but where did they say there will never be another invite?

[fading thistle]

game is pretty fun but the caves are too small

[hollow bear]

Oh that part idk. I thought yall were asking why no more invites today

[fading thistle]

like the traversal tools don't really see much use

[hollow bear]

I think radial may have added never again for dramatic effect

[silent summit]

Me when I spread misinformation on the internet:

[daring hill]

i said never again

because there is not going to be another build

the year ends in just over a month

And why would they do more invites without another build?

And they combined the previously mentioned two waves into one single big invite wave

not a fan of being called a misinformation spreader for basic common sense

they are not going to do another build after this one, cmon now

[torpid helm]

Technically, they are going to do another build, just next month when it's early access

But no more invite waves

[hollow bear]

I never assume until someone other than Mike tells me

With the big announcement coming up next week, who knows what we'll hear

[young vessel]

i do

[wise osprey]

I can say it as been wierd walking around the spaceship and playing as these dwarves. Strange alt-reality DRG.

[cedar turtle]

their eyes look weird

they move

[wise osprey]

the high fidelity dwarves

[winter spade]

When do yall think rogue core will release? Atleast from the time we got

[median mica]

are all invites sent already for playtest 4? :/

[winter spade]

Think so, sadly

[median mica]

Another time another missed opportunity with thousands of hours with DRG and DRG:S.... :?

[winter spade]

RN-Jesus decided to play with us

[mossy ruin]

1.0 I don't think even the devs know
EA we'll see on 13th if the Q4 date still holds

[old swift]

i feel like they won't want to release into EA without at least a bare minimum tutorial (very possible that's semi to mostly complete)

and we don't have any tutorial yet

[hollow bear]

2027 1.0

Gotta let gta6 catch up

[winter spade]

I remember they said something about a tutorial on a stream

[winter spade]

They did say the max time was 24 months

[hollow bear]

I'm split on it. Part of me thinks they should push EA further. not much, just for tutorial and system polishing. All the on-boarding stuff

Other part is ready for my progress to not get wiped again

[old swift]

DRG to my knowledge released pretty barebones in EA but i doubt they want to release quite as bare with rogue core

[raven wharf]

Time played is irrelevant.

All hail GabeN and the random number generator of steam

[iron flare]

It was pretty basic, from what I've been told while chatting in this channel is there's about 4 times as much content wise in comparison to EA DRG, though take that with a grain of salt

[old swift]

i mean i think in part that's just because of the randomness

there's still a lot of placeholder stuff

[torpid helm]

From what I've heard, DRG in early access was like an alpha build since they were still figuring things out and wanted testers quickly

[raven wharf]

Legacy branch on steam. Anyone who owns DRG can experience it.

[winter spade]

didnt know that

[raven wharf]

Just to be clear, the state of DRG on early access release is available to owners of DRG via the legacy branch.

[winter spade]

ya know what, that got me curious

[sinful thicket]

They will be sending more throughout the weekend

Got lucky and I have an invite

[winter spade]

wait, really?

[sinful thicket]

Yeah it says it on the post on steam

[median sleet]

Anyone heard about this game called Rogue Core?

[sinful thicket]

No idea what that is

[proven current]

it also says that they'll only send invites yesterday and today

[median mica]

I only see this:
For the new invitees, you should receive an email as well as a Steam notification if you’ve been selected for access. We’ve sent out several thousand more invitations via random selection to those on the waiting list, and we'll invite more tomorrow and Friday too.

[proven current]

i got mixed signals there lol

[sinful thicket]

Yeah they said that AND that they will give some during the weekend

[daring hill]

note that there is no friday invite wave

[median sleet]

A dev has said that they send out todays invites yesterday instead

[daring hill]

it was combined with the "tomorrow" invite wave

[raven wharf]

No new invites #rogue-core-chat message

[sinful thicket]

Ah

[daring hill]

there will not be any more invites

[median sleet]

At least for today

[sinful thicket]

Aight nevermind then

[proven current]

i don't think they're sending any more till the ea release next month

[median mica]

is it confirmed that is next month? (I assume it wil be announced on 13-th)

[proven current]

hopefully, it says on the roadmap that its Q4 of this year

[median mica]

having in mind they said that they had no idea about price tag during the stream, I won't be surprised to be moved to next year, as they usually say they want to take their time and do things right

[proven current]

i hope not, i've been waiting to play since they announced it 2 years ago lol

i mean i won't be mad either if it gets delayed, but lets see what happens in the stream

[vestal wave]

so angry. i got a closed beta for the rogue core and can't play it cuz my pc can't update it C++ to the right one!!!!!!!

i can play the DRG just fine but Rogue Core don't work.

[fossil crag]

Dame that sucks do you have an old computer or somthing

[vestal wave]

kinda. it was gifted to me so i am not really aware of the specs other then 64 bit and windows 10. it is better than my old thing tho

oh well. i can't afford the game anyways

[fossil crag]

I dont get why it wont run it then seems like it should

[vestal wave]

me either but it is what it is i guess.

my bro got the laptop from a storm chaser buddy

[fossil crag]

Nice

[vestal wave]

ya. it has served me well but still has certain limits.

all my previous stuff was 32 bit so my games were way more limited before

oh well. take care you guys. ROCK AND STONE FOREVER!!!

[fossil crag]

Rock and stone

[maiden dew]

to the bone

[fossil crag]

Man ive bean playing alot of rogue core but i still cant wait for them to get season 6 of drg out

[signal token]

please devs go easy on low end systems such as mine

[fossil crag]

Well rc is alpha so there isnt mutch monitizaton

[signal token]

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz (2.59 GHz) 16GB RAM, NVDA GeForce 2060 6GB

[fossil crag]

It should work i play it on steam deck

[burnt glacier]

ROUGE CORE REVIEW: (part 1-2 maybe?)

Extremely good game, an amazing soundtrack, and great graphics.

it feels stressful every situation you’re in, and it is fucking AMAZING. it gives that good mix of terrifying vibes and energy to kill.

(Spoilers for a class)

||Slicer is the BEST class, only tried two, falconer and slicer, slicer is better in every way, the sword is AMAZING, i had a good blast with a person just slashing shit up.||

Overall, really good game so far, apart from the chat box sometimes showing the wrong thing that the dwarves ain’t saying, and a tiny bit of bugs, a really good game.

Overall, 10/10.

[signal token]

yeah heard a lot about steam deck..I dont play handhelds since the Nintendo 3DS...might has well buy a new laptop

[fossil crag]

Can you get all the enhancments unlocked in rogue core

[proven current]

i've been in a 6 month long eric andre "let me in" gif for now trying to get in the playtest

[small wraith]

Is it just me or are the micro stutters for everyone else? Didn't have this issue last playtest

[burnt glacier]

just you mate.

[small wraith]

Doesn't seem like just me

[signal token]

you know what? it is fun, I had y reservations because I love DRG and I would not want to see the community divided, but RC is just fun, man I played the demo weekend for Space marine 2 a couple of weeks ago and ...yeah sure it looks pretty no denying that, but it got old so damned fast, like really I remember myself just standing there waiting for the scripted event to end so we finally could go about doing something. my favorite class for RC is the Guardian, the others are good as well, the spotter is my least favorite, but Im yet to try retcon.

[signal token]

the performance start to suffer for me after a couple of runs...but I might be my system...it isnt up to it.

[peak hare]

can't wait to play it but no invites

[regal lava]

Hey heads up guys the unstoppable perk breaks your throwing and causes you to be weaker than a leaf lovin green beard

[raven wharf]

It’s an alpha. Optimization hasn’t exactly been a priority

[waxen hamlet]

How is the Alpha going. Personally I have not got in, but thats OK.

[eternal fractal]

is new invites sent already?

[daring hill]

The last invites were sent yesterday

For the stream

[prisma elm]

oh so no invites were sent for today like they said they would?

[sudden current]

nope

[tall plume]

no, they wrapped both remaining invite into a big one yesterday

[real belfry]

Oh fr??

Only one person in my friend group received it, which really sucks

[lilac snow]

Damn, husband got one and not me 😢

[dark urchin]

Wait, you guys know people who get invites?

[lilac snow]

I guess unfortunately yeah haha.

[crisp bloom]

Give me Access!

Did they mention when this Game goes Into early Access

November 13th?

[inland yacht]

Do we know how much the early access will cost and or when it is coming out? I am the only one of my friends who got into the current play test and I would love to try out the game in co-op.

Oh someone asked one of those above me sorry

[lilac snow]

I'm just kinda surprised that they didn't have a +1 system for the test.

[crisp bloom]

What are those Images?

[old swift]

they did

it didn't work

<@&296918282403840000>

[deep agate]

?

[old swift]

scam

[crisp bloom]

I couldnt find anything on early Access. Just Something "big" on November 13th. Is that it?

[inland yacht]

Yeah I couldn't find anything either. Not a big deal I guess I could join a public game.

[vague drum]

Did you want a game to join?

[inland yacht]

I have only played two games last night after stumbling through figuring out how everything works. Do you guys know if some maps still generate with the super fun verticality, really chaotically, or big rooms and stuff? I feel like I only saw small and medium tunnels last night with really no super wacky fun generation.

That kinda stuff was something I always really liked about original drg.

[inland yacht]

Not right now I am on lunch at work. I was thinking probably when I get home in 4ish hours I would find a game with some people.

Thanks though

[radiant frost]

well just played a few runs last night of the ROGUE CORE and i gotta say, I HATE THE NEW DWARF DISIGNS they look very confusing and ugly. this new game feels like a step BACKWARDS i enjoyed normal DRG and love DRGS but just feel that this new one is too messy, FAR TOO MANY particles on screen, hard to make out whats what at times, ended up shooting mates alot, and just found the hole experience sorta messy and confusing, i know they said no handholding or tutorials but it just felt like it took too long to do a full dive and while i did enjoy the powerups and build building it just felt .... off its hard to explain. BUT I do hold hope things will be fixed and tightened up as I enjoy this IP .... just my 2cents

[old swift]

there is definitely a lot of particle spam at the moment

more than i prefer as well

[inland yacht]

Yeah I felt like there was some visual jank too but like it's alpha, visuals are not usually the first thing to get completed

[median mica]

at least you had the chance to try and give feedback :>

[sly storm]

how do i rez as retcon

everyone else is downed but i havent rezzed

[dry coyote]

how long does the playtest last?

[tall plume]

until early access release

[dry coyote]

uhh damn, the other playtests were pretty sure no?

[tall plume]

what ?

[dry coyote]

short*

the other playtests were pretty short, no?* xd

[tall plume]

they never ended either, only feedback stopped

[errant ember]

Oh yowdy, you guys can blind yourselves with particles? As a Warframe player, I hope I'll get to try that before it gets patched

[steady holly]

so if i got this right complexity is just that complexity, and its depth that decides difficulty like a haz level right?

[thin island]

Can anyone help me with launching rogue core, when I try to launch it on steam, it simply loads for 5-10 sec and then gives me the option to click "start" again, not accomplishing anything

[raven wharf]

Depth and floors. The deeper the harder. The more floors the harder the latter floors are.

[thin spire]

Do you remain signed up after signing up for it the first time?

[raven wharf]

Yes

It’s all one giant pool

[thin spire]

Thanks for clarifying.

[lime mulch]

So.. Uh..
Anyone else beat the first dive on their first try?

[raven wharf]

Yes, the way Mike explained it is the goal is to let more experienced players advance faster to harder difficulties.

[lime mulch]

I was running out of ammo and all. And nearly died.
It was pretty wild. But satisfying despite everything.

[teal lion]

Nope i was using a shotgun very limited ammo and messed up not getting a second weapon didnt see u can replace the bonus ammo lol so no u cant kill a boss with 50 shots

[lime mulch]

Ah.
That's a yikes.
But hey! We learn through our mistakes!
So, despite losing, you still won!

[teal lion]

Yep also doesnt help ive watched/viewed/read 0% of anything so i was just like lets do things got to the boss withh all my perks etc and all my revives but not enough ammo (50 vs other runs where i had over 1000 etc lol)

[zinc totem]

someone said there was gonna be another playtest wave today did i just fall for obvious misinformation

[teal lion]

I played it too much like drg and assumed i could horde resources to make up for lack of ammo capacity

[teal lion]

Well in the news letter it did say friday also but once again its probably a couple thousand invites vs several hundred thousand requesters

[lime mulch]

When you run out of ammo, like I nearly did... just rely on the bot at that point. Ain't like you're on a time-limit. (Other than your HP draining for every hit)

Be conservative. And attack when you know you can make critical hits.

[zinc totem]

there wasn't even a ping?

[teal lion]

So they send out pings?? U get a email from steam if ur selected it be rude to ping being like hey guys keys for 0.01% of u guys

[lime mulch]

I wasn't even part of this server when I got my E-Mail about being invited to Rogue Core. So... seems more efficient.

Besides! The game just appears in your Steam Library if you're invited. No need to find it in the store.

[junior kindle]

i just got into the playtest - i could be wrong, but isnt there a way to +1 a friend

i wanted to invite my gf

[lime mulch]

Not from what I can tell from my time playing the game. (2 hours).
I could be wrong.

[teal lion]

They tried the feature the first wave back in may or whatever there was nothing but issues with it, so its not a thing anymore

[junior kindle]

ah, damn

[past terrace]

Rogue and correeee!

[tall plume]

there isn't

[modest quest]

does anyone know who did the va for falconer, to me she kind of sounds like Ashley Johnson

[hollow bear]

Elsie Lovelock

[tribal zephyr]

how do i inv my friend

[visual latch]

That feature was bugged, and so was scrapped after the first playtest

[tribal zephyr]

aw man

[teal lion]

U wait till early access and buy them a copy sadly

[royal ether]

Does anybody with access to Rouge Core want to play in VC?

[shy turret]

Man this game has new lore

[hot trail]

damn i signed up since the first trailer and yet i didnt get in

:(

is there a way i can get access?

[tall plume]

if you signed up, there's nothing more you can do

[hot trail]

that sucks :( i signed up to the first one (pre alpha) and immediately the second one, is my account somehow blacklisted cause for other games aswell i never get early access?, just kinda sucks seeing all my friend playing but cant join him

[cinder dove]

Halloh! Any one here wanna play with vc on Discord?

[tall plume]

it's just random and you didn't get lucky

[tall plume]

better chance asking in #lfg-alpha

[cinder dove]

Ty

[hot trail]

are you sure, since i've signed up to countless early access thingy's via steam and not once have i managed to get in, just this year i've signed up to 3-4 but i didnt get in

[tall plume]

yes, I'm sure

[verbal pine]

Ser pounce would know my friend

[hot trail]

k have a good rest of your day, sorry for writing aggresivly i just am a bit frustrated since i played drg since 2018 but and have tried joining since alpha but i cant because of this shitty luck

[tall plume]

no worries, have a good day

[blissful slate]

evening ahh darn guess i gotta wait for early access

day 1 of the alpha and everything too all miss

hows retcon?

[tall plume]

too strong

[blissful slate]

O.o

[old swift]

my mind does see very well

[teal lion]

Lol my wife is a troll, i got lost wasnt even half way through the dig hit max threat i started panicing while sprinting through the zone.

She looks over sees the chaos insue

And then turns on escape from the city at full blast

I managed to extract with 0 ammo and all my rewards just a crazed dwarf jumping and screaming nooooo my looot!!

[teal lion]

Seems powerful difficult to use while solo , but could just be my lack of epic skills but still interesting

In group i can see it being abused to group up and lead away packs (allowing the group more time to shoot)

[gray mulch]

Hi all does anyone know if there are any more invites coming out?

[teal lion]

i think a round came out this morning no more known of future drops atm

[median yoke]

is there any showcase of the new sub abilities?

[opaque pumice]

is there a rogue core LFG? that could be cool

[tawdry ermine]

what is a gate stone the omega guy said i need to destroy it and i dont know what it is

[opaque pumice]

near where the boss spawns

[tawdry ermine]

is it like that ball thing

i can pick it up but i cant do anything else with it

[opaque pumice]

you gotta pick up a ball and throw it into rift

[tawdry ermine]

oh

[opaque pumice]

then destroy the next shield and so on

[daring hill]

Join the alpha channels, theres a button to gain access when you launch the game

[opaque pumice]

i'll restart the game and see

[opaque pumice]

thanks bro

[tall plume]

#lfg-alpha

[opaque pumice]

the other dude provided a better explanation than just the chat itself

[tall plume]

I was just linking it to you in case you were looking for it

I wasn't going to explain it a second time when it was done just fine the first time

[keen wave]

I am unable to find where I can send a friend code. Ive looked everywhere

[tall plume]

there's no way to send a code to a friend

[keen wave]

Thanks

bad rumor i guess

[tall plume]

there was an invite system for the very first playtest but it wasn't working well so it's discontinued

[keen wave]

Gotcha. Thanks for the info

[rare jetty]

aw man 😔

I've been tryin to get my friends to get keys but I guess they've just been unlucky

[teal lion]

i wouldnt say unlucky, just not very lucky if u look at the amount of keys given out vs the amount in the request pool aka, lets say 300k-500k requesties and only like a couple thousand each wave of invites

[teal lion]

last we heard was still q4 2025 only time will, if u like the chaotic ness of roguelikes and deepdive style runs u will enjoy the game when u finally get ur hands on it

[mild copper]

ggs tonight rogues

[latent root]

I got to try the new alpha tonight. Very impressed with the state of Rogue Core.
The only things that feel missing are either stuff that's clearly not there yet, the tutorial/onboarding that's also clearly not in it yet, and some minor balance that I'm sure is better with an experienced team.
I played 3 sessions solo just to dip my toes in, and the variety of stuff to find, builds, guns and gear is very impressive, even considering having played DRG basically to death.

[zinc gulch]

@obtuse prism I'm so confused how you two managed to join but hi

100% sure I set it to friends only LMAO

[obtuse prism]

huh, i thought this was the channel for playtest members

[daring hill]

only thing I think it absolutely needs now is proper mandatory objectives in the caves

the elevator has 4 holes for cables, and theres already a hud element for objectives

so it definitely feels like its going to happen, it just hasn't been implemented yet

[latent root]

I didn't feel like more objectives were missing so far, but I could see the basic "hang out at the elevator" final objective for floors getting stale and needing variation after lots of playtime.

I found fairly consistently that the amount of "stuff to do" definitely outnumbered the amount of time I had before it got too dangerous for success to remain likely, and I say that in a very positive "this balanced is quite well already" way.
Playing solo, I definitely felt that simply having more hands around to scatter and do tasks would have made it overall much easier, but it was still fun and approachable as a solo player for now. 👍

[teal lion]

yeah i also just got in to the alpha and am also very impressed and addicted to it, so much so i cant really bring myself to do the feedback since very much like toast only things i can really pingeon hole are still being produced/pipelined , and hell even as a suggestion only thing i could come up with would be more of a endgame thing - which im not at, being even more variety / chaotic ness with cursed boons - like the artifacts but probably less powerful but more available - if u cant tell i like artifacts wish they werent so rare early on

[tall plume]

#discussion-rc-alpha this one is

[solemn stump]

Any channel with info about rogue core?

[proven current]

you're in it

check pinned messages tho

[solemn stump]

Oh okay thank you

[silk ether]

what's the best way to try and group up and do some missions?

[daring hill]

#lfg-alpha or the in-game server browser, though it's currently pretty unreliable

doesn't accurate report if a lobby has a facility queued up or not, and can let you join lobbies long after they have started a run

[silk ether]

thank you!

[obtuse prism]

ah, i was a bit confused lol

[copper garnet]

is there a rouge core lfg

[daring hill]

theres a button to join the alpha channels when you launch the game

and from there, #lfg-alpha

[copper garnet]

ah I see

tyty

[random flint]

SO if you stack that %boost to damage when your mag is low 3 times over on an m1k with weakspot boost (and 25% extra crit damage) you can hit 6930 damage on the final boss

that's the last shot btw. You can see the boost getting higher as your mag gets lower, almost reminds me of Sal from Borderlands 2

Oh, and I think the PGL is getting some amount of that damage boost too (idk for sure). Cause I was consistently dealing 800+ damage on close range blasts , not direct impacts. (You will never have a more dopaminergic moment then when the stars align and your PGL shot registers as a crit on the 3+ bruisers coming out of the rift, like 2k plus damage).

[daring hill]

thats nothing

I saw a screenshot with like

400k damage

[random flint]

On 1 shot? How in the world?

[daring hill]

specific value was 457,340

[random flint]

Wild

[winter spade]

wow thats actually a crazy damage build

[autumn sleet]

does anyone have footage of retcon's rewind

heard about it and sounds awesome, really curious how it looks

[leaden jolt]

do we have a place to report bugs?

[long breach]

yeah press the "join discord" button on start up and it should give you the role for you to access the tester channels

[unreal crest]

Are enhancement stacking a bug or intended?

Just unlocked More Ammo 2
and I can now equip both more ammo 1, and more ammo 2, at the same time

[old swift]

that was the case for last update as well

so i would say intended

[unreal crest]

Seems kinda odd..

also that menu you pick from is gonna get supper messy when I have 4 versions of the same enhancements

[finite sluice]

Just found out that a friend of my, a greenbeard leaflover in fact, got invited. While I an elder from before the release must still sit by Lloyd... Adding names to the Great Book.
This is not a threat to the devs, but... I live in Denmark, I know where you work and you might soon find speakers hidden outside your office looping "Mushroom" infinitely.

[cobalt ridge]

Noise cancellation tech exists so i dont think theyll care

[wheat pewter]

me, a 7 million hour player, did not get picked, yet, a 1 second player was picked....... this is ur final warning. ghost hip.

[paper schooner]

That would be hilarious 😅

[paper schooner]

It is intended

[wheat pewter]

making mikkel cry by equipping all interaction speed boosts

[hollow bear]

Oh shit Saturday Mike

[paper schooner]

😈

[paper schooner]

👋

[honest robin]

Playtest has been fun but we need to Reclaim the bar asap

fighting dwarfmade horrors beyond my comprehension is not sober work, we need some Oafs up in here

[paper schooner]

Soon(tm)

[gray mulch]

Any more invites being sent out?

[dry coyote]

are there any for sure best character?

does progress in the closed alpha transfer to full release?

[past terrace]

Welll according to the alpha FAQ:

"My friend got into the playtest and I didn’t. Did you guys do this on purpose to torment me?"

"Yes."

[gusty pewter]

Is the early access still planned for the end of 2025?

[bleak beacon]

If you want to be a 'meta' gamer than a rogue like is not the type of game for you

[gusty pewter]

"Is this game a Roguelike or Roguelite?

While ‘Roguelike’ is often used broadly for all kinds of games that have “runs”, “builds” and random upgrades, we deliberately use the term Roguelite to indicate that there will be a meta gameplay system with permanent character progression that carries over between missions." xD

[bleak beacon]

Hey, my message never said I was smart

There's also still a build reset with each run, I am not sure how big of an affect the meta progressions systems have overall

[iron flare]

I think? I dont think we've been told otherwise, we'll most likely get info on the 13th

[gusty pewter]

I'm looking forward to playing RC, it looks nice judging by what I've seen so far

[gusty pewter]

I hope closed playtest 4 really is the last update before early access

[iron flare]

Unless we are told its delayed, which seems unlikely, there wont be another playtest

[finite sluice]

So this is Karl's way of testing our character?

[signal token]

with Karl's luck, you will get invite soon.

[signal token]

Im buying RC day one.

[near leaf]

Will there be any more play test 4 waves?

[proven current]

I think there wont be any more invites

[deep skiff]

There should be some next week

Just be patient

[dense sleet]

Trying to join the playtest channel gives "Access to discord.ghostship.dk was denied
You don't have authorization to view this page.
HTTP ERROR 403"
I have my discord and steam account linked, and I'm signed in on the browser. What else do I need to do?

[proven current]

Ping a mod? I saw yesterday that exact problem but idk

[raw pendant]

My main steam account didn't get in, but the account I share with my brother got in 🙏

[merry crane]

so does anyone know how you invite a friend?

i know they were talking about it in the earlier invite waves

[proven current]

just in the first wave, removed that function bc it was buggy

[merry crane]

oh

damn

[fading thistle]

you aren't missing out on much

there is no beer yet

yeah

but there is no beer!

[dry coyote]

where is the updated roadmap?

[proven current]

there is no updated roadmap apart from the one we've already seen

i think they'll update it on the upcoming stream

[teal lion]

Click the discord button within the rogue core game before hitting play - it gives u the special role - so on there makeshift title screen

[dense sleet]

That's what I did, error

[dawn cosmos]

omg PLS GIVE ME ACCESS

[teal lion]

Ah yeah they said they will look into the errors on monday i believe then

[median sleet]

check if you didn't link another discord account on accident. there should be a setting to unlink it somewhere (don't ask me where)

[mellow ravine]

FR, I'm itching for some good brew

[upbeat maple]

whens the next closed alpha

or do we have no idea

[proven current]

no idea

[deep skiff]

If you talking about the invites, it will be next week.

[upbeat maple]

oh cool

[tribal zephyr]

where do i report a bug

[winter spade]

oh shoot fr?

[dense sleet]

I have an alt account but it's not even in this server so I don't think that would be possible, thanks for the advice though

[neat prairie]

Can someone manually role me for DRG:RC?

I cant seem to get it to work. I have connected my discord and steam, or I can share screen if someone needs proof etc

[tall plume]

🪄

[fossil crag]

It kinda sucks that max leval per character is 23

Its not bad it just sucks

[winter spade]

Oh wait its 23?

[fossil crag]

Ya

[dense sleet]

Can you give me the role too?

[fossil crag]

I got slicer to 23 working on spoter now

[burnt glacier]

hang on, doesn’t that interfere with the bot?
-# or did the mod lie to me?

[tall plume]

only if you got proof you're in the playtest

[fossil crag]

How do you get role

[burnt glacier]

wait, im sorry to do this, but i have proof that im in the playtest, so could you add me?

[tall plume]

send me the proof and we'll see

[tall plume]

#welcome-and-rules for common roles

[fossil crag]

What do i do

[indigo bough]

I didn't get the invite

🥺

[wintry dove]

how do you send the proof you are in the playtest?

[tall plume]

well, having an associated and public steam account helps a lot

[wintry dove]

lol

[fossil crag]

Monkey what role are you trying to get

[neat prairie]

Thank you!

[vast moss]

did the third wave for this playtest happen?

[wary tiger]

some moons ago, yes

we're on the 4th

[vast moss]

yea but they said they were doing 3waves of invites for the this playtest

[fossil crag]

I got proof iam in play test my steam is same as discord but without the abys in it

[tall plume]

you already have the role for the testing channels

[fossil crag]

Oh

Me stupid lol

Sorry

[somber wyvern]

Dude

Why are there so many cave leeches

Holy shit

[burnt glacier]

did you choose cave leech cluster..?

[hidden delta]

i am trying out the closed alpha. there is a machine where i have to enter two codes that match the screen. what do i do after that?
