rogue-core-chat

[hazy tusk]

I'm speaking in hypotheticals here

And "whether they will or will not do a DRG 2" was not even the point I was trying to make at all

[sand vale]

Randomized cosmetics would be funny

Get a great gun and then you dont want to use it because it has an ugly paint

[formal magnet]

I feel like RC will last a while same for DRG1

[limpid comet]

core tomorrow rogue

[silver hamlet]

How long would you say a run takes on average?

Just curious, I haven't gotten to try rogue core yet sadly

[summer tiger]

Depending on length from 40 min to 1h

[silver hamlet]

Thanks!

[waxen hamlet]

I remeber seeing the grappling hook in an early video but I think they have removed it. I don't know becuase I don't have the game but it makes sense why they removed it. Maybe bring it back for solo runs.

[formal magnet]

they remove it since it was the only equipment that didn't help the team

it would be good in solo but might be a bit too strong then

[waxen hamlet]

Suppose that is why the anti gravity thing exsists. Its kinda like a shared grapple hook. Hopefully in the future we get more equitment.

[formal magnet]

hopefully yh, all the current equipment that is from DRG is buffed at least, zip line was made a lot better thankfully

[waxen hamlet]

I did see. I wish they would but that in drg. I get Rogue Core is faster paced but still, that would make it suck so much less.

[formal magnet]

it's good at traversing long sections in DRG but even then I'd usually rather have the platform gun as engi

[polar vessel]

I remember the drills looking like they carved slower

[prisma bobcat]

You're probably just use to the faster drilling speed upgrade.

[polar vessel]

Oh I haven't played any testing just remember feedback from the very first testing

[boreal plume]

They carve pretty fast from what I've seen recently

They wouldn't leave the drills out after buffing the other traversal tools

[short yacht]

Rogue core tomorrow

[limpid comet]

rogue core tomorrow

when next invite...

[boreal plume]

stream schedule revealed

next rogue core stream on the 16th

[waxen hamlet]

Even with more invites, I doubt most of us won't get in. Oh well.

[boreal plume]

I was more excited about the stream itself but yeah a new invite wave might happen too lol

[inner granite]

will we get anything on iii in 2 days?
or no more?

[limpid comet]

new new more invite

[tardy vale]

https://bsky.app/profile/iii-initiative.bsky.social/post/3milx2aesp226 i dont think Ghost Ship will be there

oh, no embeds

i forgor

anyway, ghost ship games isnt in the list of studios the iii account posted

[boreal plume]

Aaron basically confirmed it with that reaction

[rugged mortar]

does anyone know what the "+strong" weapon modifier does?

[tacit urchin]

Nothing, it's there for balancing reasons

[rugged mortar]

oh I see, thx

[hollow bear]

Big muscles

[rugged mortar]

what about the blue squares that pop up when hovering over a weapon?

in the selection screen

[hollow bear]

Remnants of the Tag system. Originally RC was going to have a similar system to DRG Survivor

Weapons synergy, etc.

[rugged mortar]

ahh I thought it looked very similar to that system but wasn't sure

[waxen hamlet]

I feel like that spongebob meme where he is sat at the table and saying 'I need it' with this game. Can't wait to play this game.

[rugged mortar]

haha yeah I was the same, luckily I got in a week ago and been playing it a LOT

[last bloom]

@violet mason will GSG or Coffee Stain make any marketing before Early Access goes live or was this date reveal it?

[waxen hamlet]

Play so much for both me and Karl

[rugged mortar]

I will, in your honour

and may you hopefully get in to enjoy the game urself

[tall plume]

don't ping the devs please

[idle tangle]

I respect the courage to do so

[idle tangle]

A good question though, we haven't seen much marketing, have we?

Is there a notable portion of people who don't play DRG looking forward to this game?

I have yet to see it mentioned ever outside of DRG communities

[formal magnet]

It's early access I think so maybe they'll do more when it's closer to fully releasing

I haven't seen or heard of anything currently

[boreal plume]

Every dev stream is technically marketing

But yeah you guys probably mean trailers and such

We will most likely get an early access release trailer, which could also be narrated

Some ads here and there while letting the game do most of the talking until 1.0 would be a good play here

[last bloom]

I was thinking it should have been at triple-i initiative since far far west was there

[hot panther]

God I hate the shared upgrades. Will return to Rogue Core once the Easter Event in DRG finishes, but I find it such a bad mechanic.

So far it feels super easy to troll people or accidentally screw other people's builds

• No drawing feature or more personalized rolls makes everything so arbitrary to the point is hard to even go for a coherent build

I don't mind when roguelikes push me in an unintended direction, but I do mind when there's no direction, or my direction switches because someone else took the stuff that best benefitted me

I am barely 5 hours in. But as it is, the game lacks a lot of the intended partnership DRG easily integrates with every action

part of the reason why greenbeards are welcome so often in DRG is because any help is good help. Making people clash in Rogue Core is an interesting choice to say the least.

[teal rivet]

What if upgrades were spread out across the map in chests and you had to buy them using exponite

The rain gets riskier

[short yacht]

There’s a risk of rain tomorrow too

[teal rivet]

Seriously though Risk of Rain 2 chests suck even more

[short yacht]

Rogue core tomorrow btw

[teal rivet]

Well you get all items from the stage anyway because time penalty there is non existant and you can just farm currency

Maybe it would work well in rogue core due to limited amount of exponite but buying something you don't know is bad

So trishops

Though then if upgrades were spread out across the cave then it would create backtracking

Also on the note of team play player can buy the upgrade container you didn't want to spend exponite for to buy the other one

[broken flame]

See, you already have the incorrect mentality.

Start kicking people when you ping something you want and they take it, permanantly scarring them for daring to take something that someone else wanted.

Be the problem. Become the Solution. Instill PTSD

[inner granite]

Ror2 multiplayer sucks
Chests themself are ok

[last bloom]

Is the current shared upgrades mechanic "fixable" game play wise or will it be left alone until final release you guys think

[tall plume]

probably be left alone

[white shell]

I'm... 150 hours in (don't judge) and it's not as bad as it was 5 hours in. Sometimes you lose what you want or something they could help your build but 90% of the time if I heart an upgrade I get it.

[steel eagle]

i just got few money save in steam i think 60$ will be good for rogue core

[last bloom]

I expect it to be max $30

[inner granite]

30$ from 100 years ago

What now

[violet mason]

Closed Alpha FAQ updated for April 2026
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2605790/view/574879683755115309

(new for this month: addressing frequent question about pricing)

[inner granite]

Why the hell it says "posted: april 11"

Its 8th

[violet mason]

think again

[inner granite]

Are you from the future

[boreal plume]

that's 2025

[inner granite]

Ohhj

[boreal plume]

the old post got updated

[inner granite]

Let me live back in good old 25 man

[tacit urchin]

That year sucked

[tall plume]

wdym "good" ? it was a shitty year

2026 will surely be better

surely

https://tenor.com/view/haha-gif-6815166390687140758

[boreal plume]

yeah rogue core releases this year

[tacit urchin]

Wdym this year

[inner granite]

I'll much more prefer to be in last's year grade, thank you very much

[tacit urchin]

It's been out for a year now

Wink wink nudge nudge

[boreal plume]

time traveller over here

[tacit urchin]

Tell no one of this

[boreal plume]

How much is Rogue Core gonna cost?

We don't know for sure yet, we've still gotta decide that. It'll probably be similar to Deep Rock Galactic.

I guess that's the new part

[hollow bear]

At least five bucks

[formal magnet]

What did drg cost at launch

[tall plume]

23€

[carmine zenith]

What a strange e

[tall plume]

the superior E

[formal magnet]

I'd assume it won't have regional pricing so 23 for everyone granted it's whatever the conversion is

[mossy ruin]

euros have the 4th highest regional price

[mossy ruin]

I mean, drg has, so I don't see why it wouldn't

[carmine zenith]

Give us your e's

[formal magnet]

Drg is losing it in like a week I think

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/548430/view/515237983885983816?l=english

near the end they mention it

[carmine zenith]

It just says the prices will increase

Not that it's going away

It's an adjustment of the prices in some regions, based off of steam's recommendations

[formal magnet]

is that not saying regional pricing won't be in place anymore

[carmine zenith]

No

[mossy ruin]

no

[carmine zenith]

Regional pricing is still there, and is staying there.

Some of the regions are going to see a price increase.

That's it

[formal magnet]

cool

[halcyon compass]

rogue core
it's a roguelite

did kojingles write this

[hushed merlin]

Toomorrow

[steel eagle]

one thing good i just read in the rogue core page

they say people who own the first game will get a discount

actually it is great when game company go like that you get a discount in the second game if you own the first game already

i think i know which dwarf i will play first

the spotter since his ability to mark enemy and spawn one ammo crate seem good

[boreal plume]

deep rock galactic
we are deep in a galactic rock

[boreal plume]

yeap it will most likely get a bundle

they do the same with drg survivor

It's also a good way to make new players to rogue core try out drg

[hot panther]

I started hearting them at hour 4 and got a very good guardian build that basically saved the game, but I still feel like the shared upgrade system is bad

having everyone looking at what -they- can get and realizing there will be tension with some upgrades is a recipe bound to taste like frustration

[white shell]

Healthy tension is good, as are trade-offs.

I'm not saying it's healthy at this point LOL I just don't mind it

[hot panther]

I think the only tension I like is having a subpar teammate that can at least improve if I communicate with them versus a completely sterile Bosco in DRG

nevertheless, yes, it's still too early to say, but I have played stuff with Barony, and I love how this game feels harder and with higher stakes

I just dislike how it seems to want you to play with people, yet put all these barriers for you to enjoy playing with people

the mere concept of having to gather the party for -every- upgrade session while also having a ticking clock that will spawn a worm that will eat your face off if you aren't on time is... ughhhh

and also. Omega needs to realize dwarves are also burning calories with each mission, let us get our beers man. I like the gym minigames for unlocking them, tf you mean I can basically get nothing else???

[olive narwhal]

Group up for upgrades at natural grouping points bio boosters/workbench/elevator and similar and probably bank atleast 2 upgrades

[lilac marten]

I have idea on how to make ammo problem less of a problem

There arre lots of abandoned machinery in facilities. Reclaimers can salvage some of it and put in a machine that wil dispence ammo restock after processing

[summer tiger]

Get moving, kill enemies before they reach you, look for armour stashes

[lilac marten]

with 90 max ammo pistol 🥲

[summer tiger]

There's your problem - you were using a devastator

[tall plume]

don't pick the devastator when you''re not retcon, unless you know how to make every shot counts

[summer tiger]

You don't use devastator

[lilac marten]

But lkate join random says otherwise

[hot panther]

"Ah yes, don't use the weapon the devs made and you probably had to chose from a very limited pool"

[summer tiger]

Use workbench to swap it

[hot panther]

yeah, ammo is a problem, thankfully many class abilities compensate for that

had to gorilla wrestle myself around core spawn as guardian once just to save my teammates

[tall plume]

balance isn't really nailed down right now, it's all over the place - and the devs are aware of that

[summer tiger]

Yeah? It's been getting worse and worse with each playtest. Been leaving feedback on it for some time but alas. Many people do have a problem with it so unless the issues get solved I recommend avoiding it at all cost.

[hot panther]

for now I would make upgrades individual. Make ellis deploy a shield while giving out upgrades. If someone is upgrading, make ellis unable to move and the dwarves say a special line for it.

worst case scenario, someone trolls and stalls Ellis. Solution? Individual mini ellises

heh, that would be cute... maybe

Now that I think about it, individual Ellises wouldn't be bad at all

or maybe a bigger ellis that deploys smaller ellises for each dwarf

hmmmm

[steel eagle]

what will be your first dwarfs pick up when the game is release ?

[boreal plume]

I will try spotter too

[steel eagle]

the charge laser weapon seem good on him

[hot panther]

Guardian's my guy

I like to feel like magneto shooting out scraps of metal

[steel eagle]

it seem mission controle as been replace by a ai names omega

[summer tiger]

It's much better on slicer. Warthog is top tier weapon on spotter. But I won't tell you why, you gotta see it for yourself.

[tall plume]

no thanks

[mossy ruin]

I'll probably start with slicer

[formal magnet]

he's so fun

my only dislike about him is the shield beacon being kinda eh and one of his Bio boosters being pretty bad

[lilac marten]

Im wondering if beta of original DRG was same

[formal magnet]

at that point why even have an Eliss just make XP be automatically deposited

[tall plume]

yeah

[formal magnet]

there being one Elis means you have to regroup as a team and she's so much faster the Molle it doesn't really matter that there's one when it comes to depositing

[steel eagle]

i just wonder why mission control got replaced by an ai names omega unless is another drg dwarf company we play

[boreal plume]

mission control has his hands full with the miners

[steel eagle]

maybe he snap out after the miners keep spam gold and was replace by a ai

[boreal plume]

My lore reason is that mission control would be overworked if he looked after both the miners and reclaimers. Gameplay wise having another announcer brings a different feel to the game, and it makes sense to change the announcer since the devs wan't to keep both games seperate.

remember that drg and rogue core take place at the same time, mission control is still working for the company, just with a different team

[formal magnet]

I thought the lore reason was that the grey out barrier blocks communication so mission control wouldn't be able to communicate, OMEGA seems to be stored inside the Reclaimers gear during a mission

he mentions after killing the ||gatekeeper || that he can now connect to the Ramrod or something along the lines of that

[boreal plume]

Ooh that makes sense

Mine was more of a headcanon but the grey out makes more sense

[formal magnet]

I don't think mission control could really help all to much since you don't need a drop pod or more ammo crates

I guess he could send Hack-C down to help with the elevators

[manic sleet]

can head-bobbing be disabled and fov increased? both make me sick 🤮

[boreal plume]

In DRG they are in the "gameplay" tab, are there no options for that in rogue core?

[manic sleet]

I never had the chance to play, that's why i'm asking

[boreal plume]

ah okay

[teal mica]

Yes. Though like DRG, there is a minimum of 25% on the camera shaking.

We cannot post pictures in this channel, but otherwise I would show oyu a screenshot of the Gameplay options in RC. But yes, you can adjust your FOV, set head bob to 0, and camera shake down to 25%

[stark sinew]

the drg options are more or less the same in RC for anyone wondering + some new ones for RC specifically

[waxen hamlet]

Like what? Can you explain please.

[stark sinew]

stuff like rebinding gauntlets to other keybinds.

[tacit urchin]

Gauntlets are abilities btw

[stark sinew]

yea

[tacit urchin]

OH! You can also remove audio ducking for OMEGA

[formal magnet]

It's a good option

[tacit urchin]

A.k.a. Audio going mute when MC talks in regular DRG

[stark sinew]

oh yeah that too XD

I got so used to having the ducking disabled that I forgot it existed

[waxen hamlet]

Very cool. Really wish I had the game.

[formal magnet]

Soon

[limpid comet]

tomorrow

[inner granite]

Ducking?

[daring hill]

lowering the volume of other sounds when sounds from a specific source are playing

[short yacht]

Rogue core tomorrow

[inner granite]

Ah

[summer ferry]

is breather in rogue core

[stark sinew]

I am happy to report that your favorite plant is indeed here

[summer ferry]

omg yay

I hope there are large breathers we can find

one day

breathers of greater scale

[shrewd lily]

i didnt know deeprock needed a gym so badly until i played rogue core

[robust yoke]

me when the core is rogue idk

right anyway heard we were getting female dwarves in this one so i was just curious about em is it like a certain class has a female model or can we swap between that per reclaimer

[median sleet]

Falconer and Retcon are female

[robust yoke]

ahh i see

[faint mantle]

And the incentive to workout in order to drink is what I really liked

Also - hello! I just got here, recently noticed I got into the playtest and only got around to actually launching and playing it today.

[white shell]

You can't even tell, to be honest. It's a different pitched voice line but it's not overly feminine. The body models are the same. And yeah, all the cosmetics are on both (beards, mustaches).

[olive narwhal]

Different VA

[boreal plume]

yeah it's not pitched differently, they got a new voice actress

[wintry trout]

am i just insane or are those mobs from DRG core stone (forgot what theyre called) really annoying

cant say the solo experience is great

[faint mantle]

yeah

[wintry trout]

ngl the game feels like a muted drg. Not a roguelite.

[boreal plume]

😑

[wintry trout]

¯_(ツ)_/¯\

[mossy ruin]

muted?

[mossy ruin]

I wonder if we'll see RC on the triple I initiative today?

probably not, since we would've known by now

[boreal plume]

Aaron confirmed that it won't be on there

[mossy ruin]

oh ok, thx for the info

[boreal plume]

He reacted to this message #rogue-core-chat message

[wintry trout]

ye. like it still feels like drg with the combat, terrain navigation and tools (tho random), which also directly relate to your pacing. But all these elements are definitely not as well polished or as meaningful as drg (yes i know its a playtest but its a point of interest for me). imo, combat loop is not as mechanically interesting as drgs where terrain or kiting patterns can severely boost your effectiveness with several major.differences in playstyle and priorities between the 4 classes outside of just shooting. terrain navigation is not as meaningful or mechanically interesting due to both the random selection of utilities and generally smaller, simpler caves. pacing is then incredibly simplistic as the importance of roles and navigation ability between the 4 players is diluted, allowing for more independent gameplay vs the cooperation required between the 4 classes in drg to effectively pace and clear missions (this is coming from modded difficulties bc haz 5 generally allows you to play independently though id argue that the game.fundamentally demands cooperation )

sry for the wall of text. idk how to concisely explain why i said it was muted

[mossy ruin]

I get what you mean now
as for the terrain, I think there needs to be a good balance between it being complex / simple, since as you said simple caves are uninteresting, but too complex caves are too annoying at the pace of this game
as for class synergy in navigation, I don't think that's happening, I think RC is going to be a simpler shooter in that regard, and I think that's what they are going for right now

[old swift]

i generally feel the same honestly

especially not a fan of this cavegen right now, and it anecdotally doesn't seem to have gotten improved since the start of closed alpha

most of the expenite events are so large they end up dominantly defining the entire cave room they are in

[wintry trout]

this leads me to the second part of my statement, which is that RC doesnt really feel like a roguelite, or perhaps simply isnt a very good one. The elements ive mentioned ultimately get blasted by and blast the roguelite aspects of this game. For example, the terrain generation in this game cant be too complex or large because

1. flare gun illumination is not a guarantee and terrain tools are random.
2. roguelite pacing demands you to complete objs, be it implicit like expenite or explicit like actual activities, within a certain amount of time by either giving you the tools to move quickly, or having zoning advantages. Something each of the classes dont really have so the best way to flatten the imbalance, is to make the navigation aspect of the game simple

another part is the combat loop. The condensed nature of the game with the main cycle being combat and mining (plus objs) and a small map means that your combat ability cant scale to the insane lengths it can in other roguelite games. It then results simpler upgrades and less build synergies. Its even possible to fully complete a run without your build making any sense which is typically a death sentence for other roguelites. It also allows for major outliers to exist. God forbid you get any kind of radiation gun. Your build doesnt even have to make sense and youd still destroy all the mobs

its kinda funny tbh

[teal rivet]

My main issue with solo gameplay loop is you either run away letting the game play itself or shoot back trading health because everyone are fast. Good positioning is nonexistent because enemies easily get to you anyway but bad positioning punishes hard

[stark sinew]

Just a friendly reminder that any balancing you see in clips atm is kinda all over the place. Theres still a lot to be ironed out.

[daring jasper]

I agree. I LOVE the game, and admittedly most of the runs I've done so far have been solo (I know, I know, it's meant for co-op), but even on the co-op runs I've been on, especially on depth 3+, I feel like we get overwhelmed too quickly. I think enemy movement speed should be tweaked overall.

Again, could be completely on me because most of my attempts have been solo, but I've yet to beat the Rafkan Rammer or Moktula Gatekeeper. (I hope I'm getting that spelling right), let alone throw the first riftstone into the rift. The Rammer's spin move especially feels way too OP.

All that being said, I can't stress enough how much I love this game so far and will definitely be purchasing as soon as I can.

[daring hill]

yeah the spin move is fucking nuts

I'm pretty it's the ramok's melee move, so it'll do it if a player is close enough

but there are no checks for how many times its done it, nor checking if a player nearby is dead

so if it sucks someone in, and the player dies near the ramok, it will get stuck in a near-infinite loop of spinning

[formal magnet]

depends what cosmetics you have on

if you wearing a massive beard they look the same but no beard or the new stubble customisations make them look different

[formal magnet]

I lost a solo run to getting camped by ramok lol, kept spinning whenever I got revived and I couldn't escape in time

[boreal plume]

You should've used the centrifugal force of the spin in a way that you could slingshot yourself away from the boss

Just kidding

[sacred blade]

clicking on the playtest channel link in the Rogue Core start menu gives me a 403 error

is this that channel or is there a seperate one?

[boreal plume]

You could try unlinking the account and linking it again. Just make sure you're linking your current one, since some people have been linking alt accounts and getting errors.

[sacred blade]

linking steam and discord, or what exactly am I looking for?

[tacit urchin]

This isn't that channel, no

It might be broken... again

[boreal plume]

discord linking that's in the game

[sacred blade]

thank ya, will do

[formal magnet]

https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/1366343433442295828 you'll get access to these when it works

[idle tangle]

Oh my god, I lost my Rogue Core role

[short yacht]

Rogue core tomorrow

[delicate flax]

you said rouge core so you got banished from the channel

[dire agate]

who is trying to play rogue core?

[wheat river]

403 should mean that the account is already linked

If you can't unlink through in game, dm me with your steam profile id and ill check

[boreal plume]

btw will people that applied for the alpha play test get notifications when the game goes into early access, or does that only happen for wishlists

[mossy ruin]

I think you'll notice that RC is gone from your library

[tacit urchin]

There's a distinct lack of something in my library...

Hmmm...

[normal knot]

I only play rogue core solo and im having a rough time. Any tips people got for characters or what upgrades or something thats good?

[white shell]

Yes 🙂 I primarily play solo, too.

1. Falconer or Retcon probably the best choices as you solo. Falconer does insane DPS and the falcon itself can do a lot of the work with Cooper while you do other things

2. keep moving, don't stand still when core spawn come you will get overwhelmed fast. Keep exploring and mining while Cooper and the falcon thin them out. If you keep moving and whittling away it keeps them spread out. You can't really kite in this game so you always have to be fighting when that happens, but using traversal and scooting around will limit the damage you take.

3. use Cooper to mine a lot for you while you do objectives even have them help when you are mining it speeds it up

4. Keep in mind that you have to build to be able to handle lots of small enemies but solely building that means you do bad damage to bosses so while I initially build for AOE / swarm kills have to have decent single Target damage by boss time

5. must take perks: health, armor, nimble (interaction speed) and friendly fire off. Spamming grenades at your feet for no self famage when you are overwhelmed is a life saver.

6. see if you can find health on kill / weskpoint upgrades makes life easier

7. equipment crates are good solo - getting a Lure makes life way easier, turrets too, or the one that converts enemies death into red sugar

8. choose the easiest vectors early as they stack - Regen enemies, cave leeches are easy to.mansge versus lethal meelee damage or harder to kill corespawn

9. health and armor are just resources to manage it's ok to trade them off. Beginning of every level you get a double resup so full ammo and armor

10. more health from red sugar is handy as boss rooms have little ways to regain health, and lots of attacks are hard to dodge. Pair that with a red sugar generator and it gets a lot easier.

11. movement modifiers are handy - anti grav, double jump - gives you time and space when you need it.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head

[normal knot]

I primarly play slicer since that seemed to work best i alpha 5. But thanks for the tips. Things to stay away from then? Also doesnt falconer have an ability that only work coop

[tall plume]

guardian works pretty well in solo too, thanks to the AoE fear and armor beacon - which can help with tanking hits when you need to hang in one specific area

[white shell]

Yes, the remote revive. But falconer's falcon does so much multitarget damage it makes swarms a lot easier, and it can keep mobs off of you while you unlock a bio booster, etc, as well as clearing cave leeches. All from range

[white shell]

The only things to stay away from our group upgrades, obviously 😜. Like gun link or armor Regen near friends.

Take what you are given and try to make a build out of it. Lot of poison choices? Lean into it. Same with ice or fire.

The beauty of a roguelike is that you just have to roll with what options you are presented with.

That being said, I do tend to favor ability recharged rate cooldowns, when possible, as that is an equalizer. The more times I can rewind or slice or falcon up the better.

[sacred blade]

thank you, will do!

[boreal plume]

2 content creators posted falconer videos on #drg-videos since yesterday. Watching those could help with build ideas

[hollow bear]

Take chain lightning bio booster and have a source of electricity beyond the bird/bubble. Watch as every crawler within spitting distance is stuck in the MGS torture sequence.

[boreal plume]

39 days left until rogue core

it's basically a month now

[solar oracle]

what factors do ghost ship games use to determine who gets in to the playtest? Like is it purely based off of when you signed up?

[boreal plume]

It's completely random

[olive narwhal]

Completely random

They can't see stuff like play time or anything even if they wanted to base it off that

[boreal plume]

There probably won't be any new invite wave anymore atp

Maybe a small one

[normal knot]

Is it a glitch or something where the expenite solidification chamber doesnt have a way to unlock it

[formal magnet]

wdym doesn't have a way, like the buttons not appearing once you connected all the pipes

[normal knot]

No tubes to feed in

Just isnt on the machine and it didnt spawn

Happend twice

Both times on complexity 1 missions

[formal magnet]

definitely make a bug report then

if you have the numbers on the side of the screen I think the devs can use that to find the issue

[normal knot]

How does the gauntlet work exactly?

[desert pendant]

Will we get this on console this year? What do we think?

[mossy ruin]

no way

I think it's not getting a console port before 1.0 at all

[olive narwhal]

Console is a pain to work around with frequent updates

[boreal plume]

[rare glacier]

sigh

[normal knot]

Does ricochet chance mean it hits multiple enemies or that missed bullets can bounce

[maiden storm]

it means if you miss it can bounce to an enemy

[formal magnet]

chain hit means it can bounce from enemy to enemy

[formal magnet]

similar to DD they reset every week and give special rewards, each stage has a minimuin enemy kill count to get the elevator to open and a bonus kill count that will let you use a Work bench or Bio booster at the start of the next layer

enemy spawns are constant and Upgrades are saved for when you leave on the elevator

I've made a better description for the wiki but it's down rn so I can't add it

[white shell]

This is the one thing I haven't done yet. Are special rewards cosmetics? Because I have like 8000 merit points and 170 chips already 🤦

[formal magnet]

currently just Script and merits but normal missions don't give them so they're kinda special

the modes fun but hopefully it gets a different rewards system in early access or later on

I'm at like 4k merits rn hopefully they find a new use

[white shell]

I'm assuming at launch there will be more depths, enhancements, c-scrip spend, etc. we just won alpha 6!

[eternal fractal]

guys what do i need to do so my game will not have freezes

every 2-4 secs it gives freeze for 1 sec

[vapid lintel]

Does this game has haz5+ x2 swarm?

[tall plume]

no

[vapid lintel]

So how do you increase difficulty in this game then?

[formal magnet]

Depth and selecting missions

[formal magnet]

The Script tree will hopefully be bigger

[vapid lintel]

I hope this game is as fun as drg

[formal magnet]

Deeper depths have harder enemies and generally have harder bosses, cave gen and length but you can still do longer/ harder low depth missions

[vapid lintel]

I like playing haz5x2swarm

[formal magnet]

The enemies in RC are much harder all the time

I play Haz 5X2 and I find it decently challenging

[vapid lintel]

What is your fav class?

[formal magnet]

Driller

I play all 4 but mostly driller or gunner nowadays

[tacit urchin]

In RC probably

[formal magnet]

oh in RC

[vapid lintel]

Same

[formal magnet]

Guardian

his stun and AoE is very fun

[vapid lintel]

Do you think this game will have the same replayability like drg?

[formal magnet]

I have 40.4 hours in 11 days so I'd say so

it is very fun

[vapid lintel]

I have like 900h in drg and i still have fun

[formal magnet]

I'm only on like 300 in base drg

currently have all the dwarfs at silver trying to get all to gold for 100%

RC since it's a roguelite has a lot more customisation

[vapid lintel]

Are the maps big or small?

From videos i have seen so far maps look small

Compared to drg

[mossy ruin]

indeed

[tacit urchin]

They're more long, really

Also, just like in DRG they're randomized

[formal magnet]

I can't send pics here but they're much longer but smaller, still some big cave rooms especially on complexity 3

difficulty is mostly split into. Depth (Haz), number of floors, and complexity of cave

also final boss I guess

[acoustic mural]

When was the last Rogue Core invitation thing? Because I didn't realise I got it until literally just now

SO pumped to finally play

[formal magnet]

march 31 I think

[acoustic mural]

Not too bad then

[proud kayak]

I'm trying to do the fitness minigames on it but I can only do the ones on timing as it keeps showing a square icon and literally none of my buttons correspond to that. I'm on steamdeck, it keeps switching between the X button which works fine and square which doesn't.

Can anyone help with that?

[boreal plume]

The game is already harder than drg and you can stack swarms easier

[formal magnet]

@full sleet you're the only other RC steamdeck player I'm aware of

[acoustic mural]

Has anyone encountered a weird audio bug where the all sounds coming from the dwarves are super quiet? The rest of the games audio is perfectly normal

If not it could be my PC, its pretty bad

The audio is the first game stutters a lot for no reason

[formal magnet]

I'm guessing this is after the tutorial

if so it's a known bug restart your game and it'll fix

on the main menu if you click the discord button you get access to the RC alpha channels btw

[acoustic mural]

Gotchu, thanks!

[trail ermine]

[short yacht]

Will RC have any new biomes that are not in DRG?

I mean on launch

[median sleet]

That's not known, but I think probably not

they'll probably focus on integrating the old biomes better with the core biome rather than make new biomes

[short yacht]

I still hope we will get new biomes maybe not on launch but eventually

I think running around in the same old biomes will get boring, maybe they will get slightly updated just to make them a little different from their DRG versions

Maybe we will get RC biomes in DRG too when they get added, I think the devs mentioned that some content might get added to both games on one of the streams, tho it’s not 100%

[daring hill]

I think they'll eventually add ossuary depths, but thats it

[short yacht]

It would really suck imo but it’s still valid

[daring hill]

also depends on if you mean early access launch or 1.0 launch

[olive narwhal]

My preference would definitely to be expand the core biome stuff so each biomes core biome version is distinct

[daring hill]

definitely not for the former, but the latter? maybe, but I wouldn't expect it

I would rather they update the older DRG biomes

[olive narwhal]

Updated cave gen does alot for both games

[daring hill]

there is definitely a disparity in quality between the older biomes and the newer ones, and it'd be cool to see that addressed in rogue core

[short yacht]

I meant early access launch

[daring hill]

ok yeah definitely not happening

early access is going to be near-identical to the current closed alpha branch

the only major difference is that as of right now, the ramrod is going through some major reconstruction

so half of it is totally missing, and the promotion area is inaccessible

note that there is no memorial hall anymore

[short yacht]

There are promotions?

[daring hill]

yep

they are purely cosmetic right now, but they exist

[olive narwhal]

Currently its polishing and cleaning up whats present for EA

[daring hill]

and when rogue core is finally out in early access, I wouldn't expect any major updates for a few months

[short yacht]

I am confused about the second part on the biome topic

what is core biome stuff

[daring hill]

a secondary core stone biome that gradually infects the biome a facility is within

changing the materials and such

[short yacht]

So like, the biome changes throughout the run?

[daring hill]

yeah

[short yacht]

Yeah okay I didnt know about that

Btw does anyone remember when is early access launching?

I think it was something near summer

I am too lazy to search myself

[daring hill]

<t:1779292800>

according to steam

[short yacht]

Thanks

A bit sooner than I thought

[daring hill]

If they decide to do a season 7, it's probably coming out in july/august.

so I wouldn't be surprised if rogue core doesn't get any notable updates until then

unless GSG is truly going hands-off now that invisible walls has proven themselves

[short yacht]

I think IW are doing pretty great, S6 is pretty cool

[daring hill]

I really hope that fabled perk overhaul comes in season 7

but I think it's proven at this point that GSG absolutely does not want to do it

any sort of major gameplay changes like that are never going to happen

[short yacht]

Tho I doubt we will ever get something like new OCs or weapons, even if GSG themselves will be making the seasons

[short yacht]

True that

Honestly I really dont expect any super cool stuff in later seasons, new biomes and mission types are probably the best we will get

I am not even sure about them

Tho I am not complaining since DRG is already good enough, I just hope RC will be as successful

[tame quail]

is there any rhyme or reason to alpha access, or is it just random and RNG just decided to say "fuck you, we're gonna invite people who requested access like a week ago instead of those that signed up at the very start"?

[olive narwhal]

Its just random nothing deep

[tame quail]

fair

[full sleet]

Same issue, reported that in bug reports, suggest to do the same, not sure how high in priority it is to fix steamdeck/controller type issues for GS though

as far as i know they are aware of controller controlls being undercooked

[rugged mortar]

what are y'alls meta for the playtest currently? I found the red sugar generating on two weakpoint hits and other similar effects are OP with a quick gun like the beltstrom and the sweet tooth perks plus better red sugar upgrades

[faint patrol]

I got the playtest but my ram is too little to run it smoothly

https://tenor.com/view/thurston-waffles-meow-scream-glowing-eyes-cat-gif-15740056

[rare jewel]

How much ram?

[faint patrol]

6 gigs, I planned to upgrade it last year but delayed it for whatever reason and now it's too expensive due to AI 😭😭

[rare jewel]

Ooooof yeah that's pretty rough

[short yacht]

Its okay if you cant run it you can give it to me since I can 👀

[faint patrol]

Can I?

[short yacht]

Unfortunately no

Anyway feel bad for ya, hopefully you will be able to upgrade your ram soon

[proud kayak]

Will progress in the playtest be carried over into the full game when it launches? I know some other games that didn’t and I was wondering as I’d likely buy it on my Xbox when it releases if it doesn’t.

[mossy ruin]

no

[proud kayak]

Yeah figured

Thanks

[faint patrol]

Aw that sucks

[inner granite]

Just dowland more ram smh

Or you can use swap as ram

[native monolith]

Swap ram is not really a way to increase ram amounts lol

Unless they changed it since my exam last year it’s so slow you’ll be fighting demons trying to do anything

[tall plume]

https://tenor.com/view/that-was-the-joke-anthony-vincent-ten-second-songs-i-was-kidding-i-wasnt-serious-gif-19402679

[native monolith]

Ram prices increase worldwide

Buy 10 terabytes of SSDs

Make the most bootleg ram stick possible

Profit?

[modest pendant]

cant wait for rogue core to release, i didnt get lucky into playtest but im pretty sure it would run smoothly with my processor boiling water at 90Celcius

[formal magnet]

DDR4 and 3 didn't change too much

I'm assuming if they only have 6Gb of ram it's DDr4 or 3

[inner granite]

never said it was a good ram :p

you can fight corespawns or you can fight ram demons

[nova quiver]

RAM is RAM, I will find some way to fit a stick as large as my motherboard in.

[normal knot]

Is there a way to find out what the different modifiers on weapons mean. Like obstinate on the beltstorm

[formal magnet]

if it's white text it usually just means the weapons strong, it's there so the weapon has 1 less buff on it

[normal knot]

Green text that says obstinate on my beltstorm gun

[hollow bear]

obstinate is +100% damage to enemies at >15m

[edgy pulsar]

why can i only hear my gun, music and omega normally while everything else is muffled to oblivion?

[formal magnet]

audio bug, restarting the game fixes it usually

[edgy pulsar]

i was paused and afk for a while and that seemed to fix it too somehow

[woeful karma]

i wanna play this .... 🙁

how do you even get access?

[formal magnet]

steam page has a button to sign up

but it's random if you get in and idk if the devs are doing another invite wave before early access

[woeful karma]

bummer 🙁

[elder topaz]

When is the price announcement expected?
And how do you guys (the one that are currently playing) like it? I didn't get inv unfortunately 🙂

[formal magnet]

Very fun

Devs said it would be priced similar to DRG in early access no set price

[void cave]

Quick question, can you remove the damage numbers?

[formal magnet]

I think so yh

no hud removes it so I think it's an option

[tall plume]

there's an option for that, yes

[void cave]

Ah good, I was worried it wouldn't have it thanks I kinda feel it clutters a bit too much the screen

[worn plinth]

Hi

[hearty socket]

to everyone who currently has access to rogue core whats been your favorite class, the most fun class, and the best class (in your opinion ofc)

[formal magnet]

Guardian, guardian, Retcon

Guardian is super fun with his AoE and stun effects as well as his tank like play style and how he can adapt to solo and group scenarios

Retcon just has 3 super powerful abilities but only her main one is really fun the other 2 are just a stat boost and a revive which is good to have

[limpid comet]

rogue core tomorrow

[daring hill]

In a few months, all the deltarune fans are going to steal the hopium from us

[strong temple]

Is this the playtest channel? I just launched the Rogue Core closed alpha...

[tall plume]

there's a discord link in the menu before entering the game, you can click on it to get the alpha role which will give you access to the testing channels

well, seems like you already have access

#discussion-rc-alpha this way

don't forget to check the pinned messages on your way there

[teal lion]

solo i like playing as the one who gets to call another set of ammo for his skill that resets on resupply

[strong temple]

I see it now, thanks!

[desert skiff]

Is there beer in rogue core

[boreal plume]

yes

[desert skiff]

Sick

[boreal plume]

🍻

[limpid comet]

(and exercise....)

[boreal plume]

workout sessions with 4 dwarfs grunting will be funny

[white shell]

Truth is they're all really fun in different playstyles.

Falconer does the most DPS by default because they can handle swarms really well.

Spotter comes in a close second because the crit can get crazy. I think I was getting 500% crits one run.

Guardian manages the tough mobs and armored mobs with ease and can clear space.

Retcon with friendly fire off and spam grenades like crazy clear out swarms. Also has the oh s*** we're going to lose button with their auto full health revive.

Slicer has innate mobility and clears mobs swarming the group around the group.

They have done a great job early making all classes fun to play in their own way. I have my favorites but am never disappointed if someone is playing them and I get to play others.

[formal magnet]

Spotter yh

free crits

[prime ether]

i'm trying not to see anything until i get access or the game releases, and reading all the messages in this chat is giving me a lot of FOMO😭😭 game appears to be sooo good

[boreal plume]

some people love it, some people have their issues with it

[formal magnet]

most the issue currently is the balancing which is to be expected in an alpha

a few design choices to do with upgrading is also talked about a lot

[jaunty sparrow]

As a wise man once said. 'Let me in, LET ME INNNN!'.

[rare glacier]

don’t even joke lad

[graceful canyon]

I'm just thinking if an equipment workbench would be good for the game, I wanna get upgrades for grenades n equipment ngl it seems really stupid/funny

[burnt swan]

i mean itd be cool to at least have the option to upgrade them at work benches, it does seem pretty empty having only ability / one or two weapons in the current menu

[white shell]

I think it needs to be its own thing though. The workbench makes you choose already between two major things. Choosing three with make it really hard.

Unless you get to choose two out of three... And once you have equipment there's an equipment option as well

[waxen hamlet]

I hope that all DRG weapons make it into Rogue Core. My beloved Wave Cooker with Elemental damage is so nice.

[inner granite]

We already know not all

Especially driller's arsenal got hit

Due to overhauled elemental system

[waxen hamlet]

Man...

[random belfry]

Hope the flamethrower still scream inferno. " Need a lighter ? "

[short yacht]

Honestly I want more new stuff instead of guns from drg

Yea like some of them are nice and cool but I think there are a lot of cool stuff in terms of arsenal GSG can come up with for RC

Since there are no class specific weapons anymore

[formal magnet]

drillers primaries could still be added but they'd have to be tweaked quite a bit

they'd definitely be heavy weapons and not base guns though, a lot less ammo too

[elder rapids]

i do admit i still think that rogue core's gonna have a lot more fighting due to the very nature of how metas work

[hazy tusk]

Honestly the only driller weapon I really want is the crispr

The others feel niche/experimental enough I can understand not using them

but a flamethrower feels pretty straightforward conceptually and would just make sense

Even if it was like, strictly a direct damage type thing

[peak sorrel]

Day 3,065 of no rogue core

Brain is becoming dry, rocks are not stoning anymore, the mug is empty 😔

[boreal plume]

That's intended

Drg will stay more exploration and mining focused while RC will be more about combat and hitting points of interests for upgrades

[waxen hamlet]

I know there is no weapon customization but I think if they could add in a feature to allow you to choose what color your weapons will be in a run , That would be neat but I understand that might be a bit of work, given the game is a bit different to DRG and uses a slightly different engine.

[tight sleet]

is rouge core on console?

[inner granite]

Not curriently

Not impossible it will be in the future

[tight sleet]

ok

[boreal plume]

10 0 days since someone called the game Rouge Core

[inner granite]

It's clearly pink core

[pallid stream]

loose core

[elder rapids]

i mean i don't think they intend to have teammates actually fighting eachother but y'know

[boreal plume]

Do you mean verbal fighting lol

As in when your teammate doesn't follow a meta?

[elder rapids]

no i mean you want X weapon or upgrade but your teammate yanks it for their build or they don't know or they're being a dickhead and it causes a big fight over it

[boreal plume]

Ah got it

Yeah that kind of toxicity will probably happen

[elder rapids]

which is a shame because DRG is such a wholesome community

[formal solar]

rawr core

[short yacht]

Rogoosack core tomorrow

[white shell]

It's a lot like DRG with voice % usage at about 1% of games played.

[white shell]

Honestly I think a lot of that has to do with how non-verbal the game requires players to be

[formal magnet]

You can communicate with people who speak different languages since they see your mouse movement on the upgrade screen

Up down for yes, left right for no and circle it means suggested works pretty well

[waxen hamlet]

I hope another invite wave comes soon, it would be nice to try the game but I get it, they wish not to rush the game and that is understandable. Plus it is only about a month away.

[prime ether]

i literally got answered one comment above i am a dumbass

[lyric ruin]

hey guys in what way one can obtain the game Rogue Core?

[waxen hamlet]

Either sign up on steam and get randomly given access or wait until the 20th of May.

[lyric ruin]

o okay ty!

btw what do you think are the chances of beying picked?

[waxen hamlet]

It is honestly depeding on luck. I signed up over a year ago and still have not got in. At this point I am waiting till the 20th of May for early access. Hopefully they send out more invites by then, fingers crossed.

[lyric ruin]

ohhh alr

hope you get in soon

[waxen hamlet]

Thanks, I think they randomly choose. Hopefully you get in too.

[formal magnet]

yh the devs have said it's fully random

[tall plume]

1 out of probably hundred of thousand ?

[mossy ruin]

1-(1-(what you said))^(number of users they pick for a particular wave)

[formal magnet]

the probability changes as they let people in since there's a lot less invites than applicants, as a person is selected your odds decrease of getting in that wave

[inner granite]

50%
You either get picked or not

[mossy ruin]

yeah, it would be sampling without replacement
ain't doing all that in this chat though

[formal magnet]

yh fairs
the odds would probably round to some version of 0.0....1

[random belfry]

Theres a big, solid reason why we find and should find the other classes guns. Salvage, weapons left behind etc. We are the cleanup crew after the Combat Miner dwarfs of those classes went MIA, KIA or escaped. Im ALL for it, and jealous of you who got the chance to play... test early. Happy for you too!

Also OPTIONS, its " easier " to add, tweak and balance classes, weapons, tools in DRG: RC than in DRG.

[teal mica]

1.6% chance.

[tacit urchin]

Carefully and precisely calculated by our top of the line mathematicians

where to read the patchnotes for rogue core if they exist?

[tall plume]

click the discord ingame button to get the alpha role, then read the patchnotes in the alpha section

[regal snow]

alr

[fickle rivet]

Took me about six months to get an invite

[tacit urchin]

The wave of invites got sent out?

[limpid comet]

invite tomorrow

[signal egret]

a common Isaac proverb

[inner granite]

I don't play issac

[boreal plume]

Maybe, there was a new patch today

They could've sent out a small new wave after checking if the game was stable

[tall plume]

as far as I know, there wasn't a new wave

[weary meteor]

Hey just asking no way to invite friends to the game if they dont have access to the closed alpha yet is there? No ticket invites or anything just asking apologies if its been answered.

[boreal plume]

no, you can't invite friends

[weary meteor]

ok cheers

[storm flame]

if i will delete the game will progress stay? am trying to fix something maybe it will help

[tall plume]

delete the game ?

do you mean uninstall ?

[mossy ruin]

don't delete rogue core pls

a lot of work went into it

[storm flame]

yeah i just want to delete it and download again

its kind of a stupid question yeah but game in alpha

dont want to lose my progress

[tall plume]

there are two options in Steam

you can uninstall the game, but you can also remove it from the library, hence why I'm asking

uninstalling should be fine, and you shouldn't lose progress either
removing it from library, however, will delete everything, including your access to the alpha

I assumed you meant the 1st option but you can never be too sure 😄

[storm flame]

oh that how it works
didnt knew sorry
yeah the 1st option
my steam is just not on english

thx tho

[tall plume]

no worries

[tall plume]

[unborn orchid]

update 1gb? whats new?

[olive narwhal]

Get the discord role in game on the initial screen to get access to the alpha specific channels

Which includes the feedback threads

[unborn orchid]

i forgot them, thank u

[hearty socket]

im sorry if this is a dumb question but people are talking about rogue core invites are they doing more invites before the early access launch or no?

[formal magnet]

unknown

but not everyone who got an invite joined right away so some people still ask about it in chat

[cobalt ridge]

supposedly therell be another wave one or two weeks before early access launch

[summer tiger]

no info on that tho

I wouldn't be so sure

[hearty socket]

we can only hope lol ive had my request for about a year now lol

[summer tiger]

36 days till Early Access

dont worry

[boreal plume]

time doesn't really matter when the requests are in the hundreds of thousands

[rare glacier]

how much is rogue core gonna be

[tall plume]

check the pinned FAQ for the answer

[inner granite]

10 thousands macaroni dolars

[normal saddle]

Is it me or have the expenite loot bugs disapeared

[random belfry]

I think they are just VERY rare

[hollow bear]

haven't seen one in a few major patches, i think they're bugged/gone

[random belfry]

If I ever get an invite to alpha ( or wait until EA ) Im gonna go hunting, watched a creators YT vid... they teleport or thats a glitch?

[tacit urchin]

Never seen one teleport

[random belfry]

Frustrating not remember which YT creator it was. I remember it was in the tunnel section that requires a grade 3 something, you push a hammerwagon all the way back for then to send it back like a slingshot, looked like Salt Pits biome

Ah! I think it was in one of sniss or siirvends vids

[boreal obsidian]

is there any idea to when the next wave of new playtesters will happen?

or is there any way to invite a friend who isnt on the playtest yet?

[formal magnet]

[teal lion]

nope and nope

well the final wave of people will be may 19th

[dim garden]

Anyone know if rewind heavy object transfer was patched

[daring hill]

patched to be easier like it should be? or removed?

because neither have happened

[pallid beacon]

The final wave is a day before the game releases in early access? Huh?

What's the point of doing another playtest then?

[teal lion]

was more so a joke

[boreal plume]

are you sure it wasn't retcons class ability

it's not like a teleport but you rewind time and go back to the location where you activated the ability

[oak shale]

Do we get back life, ammo and armor too ?

[boreal plume]

yeah even grenades

I'm not 100% sure about armor but you should be able to

[oak shale]

That's so sick ! The most brutal of all dwarves

[boreal plume]

she's very cool

she has a war cry when using her ability

love it

[oak shale]

Eager for may to come. May Karl be with us all 🙂

[formal magnet]

I thought grenades didn't come back, armour does

[boreal plume]

Dunno if they removed that, people were chugging their grenades a few alphas before

Going to check some videos

[boreal plume]

yeah you get grenades back too

you completely return to the state before you used the ability

[short yacht]

Rogue core tomorrow

[boreal plume]

halfway through

[boreal plume]

and if you gained any health/armor during the ability, you lose that too so gotta be careful with it

[limpid comet]

rogue core stream tomorrow?

[mossy ruin]

yes

[formal magnet]

I must've misread when I tried it

The artifact that lets you gain 1% damage per kill but lose 5% of it when you take damage doesn't change with rewind, not sure if it's bugged or intentional

[boreal plume]

hopefully jacob play something other than slicer lol

[storm flame]

retcon and spamming grenades goes hard

[formal magnet]

She's my least played currently

need to try her some more

[random belfry]

Nope, the player looked down the tunnel and for a split second he just.. " huh! " did that lootbug just teleport?? " It was kinda hilarious, awesome if intended. He didnt pop the lootbug though when he got close. Fancy creature for sure

Regarding the Stream tomorrow. Which GMT +1 time? I live in Norway. Hoping to catch the stream after work at 16.00

[dim garden]

Is it intended? Lol

[idle tangle]

@solar dock I believe the game in its current state is pretty good, but it's not amazing. It has the potential to be incredible if GSG understand what needs to be done

[solar dock]

That's what I thought

Fingers crossed they don't fuck it up

[idle tangle]

Yep, I feel the same

I don't expect GSG to turn it into a bad game or anything, but I'm not sure it'll end up as good as I want it to

But I have hope

[solar dock]

Hopepilled joycel

[waxen hamlet]

It still is in alpha plus 1,0 release is far from us. So I expect they will make this game good, with time.

[unborn orchid]

i just lose 4 times in a row

Technically 34 days for me. Time zones in all that.

[daring hill]

[rare dune]

I've been thinking that since falconers rez ability is useless in solo and sometimes never used with good teammates who dont go down, I propose that the falcon should be able to be used to fly over and interact with most things that just have you holding interact (opening ammo crate, activating a turret, starting elevator, etc). Obviously it cant do things that involve gaining a resource like claiming an ammo pack, and the cooldown could vary based on what action you chose to do with it (opening an ammo crate should be a way shorter cooldown than reviving someone).
Thoughts?

-# Im putting this in this channel and not the official close alpha chat because I use someone else's steam to play it lol, my discord is sadly only here 😔

[limpid comet]

#rogue-core-suggestions

[rare dune]

Oh no way how long's that been there lol

[inner granite]

Always

[limpid comet]

It wasn't far from the abyss bar

[boreal plume]

ngl I would like that

[short yacht]

Rogue core tomorrow

[limpid comet]

rogue core stream tomorrow and invite tomorrow

[daring hill]

Stream in 3 hours

Hopefully they announce a new invite wave, i want more people to play with

Also I humbly request that you guys scale this one larger

Since we are at the "halfway" point of sorts

[cobalt ridge]

It would be nice to be able to get in and try the game to see if id like it
Ive been waiting a bit, since they first let us sign up for the playtest and wait for invites

Considering the amount of people that signed up though, ill probably have more luck with the early access than the playtests

[daring hill]

well its not bugged behaviour, theres no evidence to that

and its a fun piece of tech that provides more value to retcons ability that isn't trivialising the entire game

and the ability DESPERATELY needs to be more interesting

[boreal plume]

stream is on!

[meager plover]

Omega took over 😂

[prime ether]

rogueposting

[tacit urchin]

They gave Aaron the power to turn into OMEGA on the fly... We're doomed

[boreal plume]

Imagine if it was OMEGA turning into Aaron all this time

No invite wave today but apparently one is coming soon

[short yacht]

Why did DRG provide reclaimers with tight swimsuits that make them look caked up, what tactical advantage does this give

[mossy ruin]

easier to hook them up to their bio juice I guess

[boreal plume]

the reclaimers are also lifting weights

glute exercises=bigger cake

[formal magnet]

lore reason is probably more funding/ the cryo sleep

but it also has a lot more drip

[umbral salmon]

I think most people's first game probably ends in a loss.

[boreal plume]

that's not surprising

I still remember my first DRG run, how I got lost in the Salt Pits tunnels while following Molly

Ran out of time and lost my first run

that's even more normal for a roguelite

[tall plume]

that's by design tbh

[unborn orchid]

for those who see rc first time, it will be hell

[tardy vale]

1 month and 4 days left!!

[short yacht]

How soon do you think?

Like next week orrrr

[boreal plume]

Aaron didn't go into specifics but there's another Rogue core stream next week

So it could be next week

[short yacht]

Hopefully

[boreal plume]

But the last few smaller waves didn't happen on stream days iirc

So it could happen any time

One of the last waves went out on the 31st, Tuesday

[formal magnet]

hey that's my wave

I'm one in a krillion

[short yacht]

All of us will get invited when the next wave of invites happens

#Trust #Hopium

[formal magnet]

Where's the second invite wave Netflix

[boreal plume]

type reaction

Made me smile lol

[storm flame]

the swearing robot is 10/10

[random belfry]

Yeah I missed it, ususally have lunchbreak at 11:30 😂 watching the uploaded vid on YT now. But thanks for the heads up. And Great stream!

[boreal plume]

I enjoyed the guest learning how to play rogue core

[formal magnet]

fr, games been fun

a little too fun

[tidal nebula]

are there voicelines for the female dwarves yet? I can't find much on YT covering Rogue Core

[boreal plume]

They've been in the game for a few months now. You can check Retcon or Falconer videos, these two are the female classes

Searching for retcon/falconer in #drg-videos would be easier than searching on yt

[formal magnet]

they have all the common ones but some of the less integral are yet to be added

most noticeable MUSHROOM MUSHROOM is sadly missing

[tidal nebula]

ty!
I didn't know the classes are gender-specific, that's a bit unfortunate

[tall plume]

they are for now anyway

it's not completely impossible it changes in the future, but it's not a guarantee either

[boreal plume]

modders will probably make it possible

[tall plume]

I'm not quite convinced about that but we'll see

[tidal nebula]

I'm hoping I'll like the game, usually not a fan of roguelikes at all - but I love DRG
And having playable female dwarves has been my #1 request for DRG for many years

[boreal plume]

I support whatever the devs decide to do with their characters

[storm flame]

What the records for gym?

Did someone set these

[tight sleet]

is rouge core planned to come to console?

what does this mean

should I be worried about red corn

[vast moss]

no current plans

[cobalt ridge]

yes

[teal mica]

Rouge is red.

[boreal plume]

3 0 days since someone called the game Rouge Core

[plush cape]

Anyone online running Level 2??

I cna buy thema beer?

[teal mica]

Do you have access to the alpha channels?

https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/1366347563845947453

[plush cape]

nah I still need to get my account unlinked from my brothers discord (whjole thing) I shouidl send a message to Jenny

Hang on

[limpid comet]

rogue core tomorrow

[formal magnet]

Likely but not for a while, devs are focusing on the PC version since it's not finished yet

[short yacht]

Will rogue core have a separate discord server?

Also rogue core tomorrow

[radiant comet]

Glad to hear that! I have been recording our new voice actor for the female dwarfs and it have been such a joy to help making the first female dwarf in the DRG universe

[inner granite]

Are there unique scripts for each gender, or everyone can say everything?

[tacit urchin]

There aren't

Well, minus the class-specific ones, I guess. But that probably doesn't count

[radiant comet]

Yesh exactly. Only for specific class abilities and stuff

[boreal plume]

IIRC the answer to this question was no

#rogue-core-chat message

[tacit urchin]

John probably meant in the future, but I really doubt so

[boreal plume]

yeah it's not exactly the message I was looking for

I doubt it too

This is the one I was looking for #rogue-core-chat message

[formal magnet]

I hope there isn't

They could just make a new category for all the RC channels when the game is released

Gauntlets and stuff would need a channel

[clear spire]

anyone else notice how rafkans kinda look like stalkers? Maybe they're related...

[short yacht]

Rogue core tomorrow

[limpid comet]

4 weeks left

[boreal plume]

I'm itching to play

My hand literally wanted to click a Rogue core shortcut on my desktop yesterday

Haven't even played and I'm having withdrawal problems 😭

[short yacht]

You dont have the game but already have a shortcut??? what😭

[boreal plume]

Nah I was imagining it bro

[short yacht]

One day you will have that shortcut🙏 🙏 🙏

[boreal plume]

31 days left

[smoky briar]

Do yall think RC will come to consoles? Perhaps crossplay too? 🥸

[short yacht]

I think it will come to consoles eventually but crossplay is unlikely imo for the same reasons why theres no crossplay in drg

[smoky briar]

Darn 😐

I mean i have a PC but my friends don't lmao

[short yacht]

If I remember correctly crossplay is expensive and would require to redo the matchmaking system from scratch, I dont know how matchmaking works in rogue core but I assume its pretty much the same as drg

correct me if I am wrong because I am not sure

[smoky briar]

Ik crossplay is hard, it just makes it hard to find people to play with unfortunately

[short yacht]

Oh yeah, its very unfortunate, but maybe just maybe the day when we get crossplay will come

someday

after maybe like gorillion years🥸

[formal magnet]

Crossplay would likely need servers

Drg and RC are peer to peer since it's a lot better for this kinda game

[velvet veldt]

i know valheim is crossplayer on peer to peer but its on unity engine

[boreal plume]

If you search "valheim peer to peer" the first result you get says that valheim isn't p2p

[inner granite]

p2p, mods support, diffrences in gameplay...
There is a lot of reasons why DRG and most likely RC won't see crossplatform

(about diffrences, cave gen is smaller on consoles than on steam)

Plus updates would be delayed on steam

Most consoles verificate every update while Steam does not (most of the time)

[vestal patio]

Does rogue core have maggots

[inner granite]

looks in the mirror

Maybe

[boreal plume]

just checked 2 videos and haven't seen a single maggot

most of the wild life seems to be removed

silicate harversters, the elevator plants etc

[velvet veldt]

well you can host servers which isn't p2p but you can also just do p2p hosting

though valheim is strange because even with a hosted server, the ping is based off who was first to load the the part of the map your in and not the hosted server regions ping

[formal magnet]

No maggots

only wall eyes and Breathers I can remember seeing

the corespawn likely killed most the ecosystem

[vestal patio]

No maggots?

Ass game

[formal magnet]

the core killed it all 🥀

except leaches, game knows game I guess

[short yacht]

Corespawns killed all the maggots?

Send me to the core I will avenge every maggot they killed

Dont even joke lad

[burnt swan]

please tell me the magmacore maggots at least were able to fight back a tiny bit

🙏

[formal magnet]

they probably taste the worse

[hot panther]

Any handsome, chiseled face dwarves in need of completing a Depth 2 mission? I need to kill the flying shark thing. It always gets me. I wanna suplex it.

[formal magnet]

yh sure, u on rn?

might be easier to use #lfg-alpha

[hot panther]

I mean, I can open the game at any time, yes

will use the lfg channel then, thank you!

[formal magnet]

I can play a game

just editing the wiki rn I need some in game stuff

[hot panther]

Can you vc or nah? It's fine if you can't

also not sure how the duo experience is

if you think we can manage, great, tried it solo and it went well until the final boss who basically destroyed me

[wheat dust]

Bruh i just got a rogecore trailer jumpscare

[formal magnet]

yh I can, duo is about the same just slightly harder but it's 2 people

[boreal plume]

rogecore is certainly a new one

[formal magnet]

@barren turtle

you don't have access to the RC alpha channels btw

[tall plume]

he does now

[tacit urchin]

We should tell them later

Oh

Nice

[round lintel]

Hi guys, I have a game where my handgun is on slot 1 and my minigun is on slot 2. Is there anyway to swap guns position mid game?

[tacit urchin]

No, sorry

[dapper sun]

rogue core today?

[boreal plume]

Nah tomorrow

[formal magnet]

but tomorrow is always 1 day away

what could this mean

[boreal plume]

Sisyphus

[short crane]

Hey, sorry to be that guy but has playtesting started ?

My friend asked me to sign up for playtest cause they wanted to play w/ me and soo I'm here :b

[raven valley]

Started a while (about a year?) ago, but the invite handout is completely random

They do invite waves from time to time, there might be some more before it's in Early Access (at May 20th), and you might get lucky. Don't keep your hopes too high though

[formal magnet]

I think someone mentioned there would be another invite wave but no date

I'd imagine within 2 weeks since otherwise it would be really close to early access

[raven valley]

Something something playtest tomorrow

[olive cosmos]

guys, why'd the core go rogue? is it stoobid?

[short yacht]

Rogue core tomorrow

[short yacht]

Short answer - yes
Long answer - yyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss

[raven valley]

I think it just likes lites the rogue

[boreal plume]

yeah Aaron said on stream that there would be an invite wave soon

[limpid comet]

it`s tomorrow again

playtest tomorrow

[boreal plume]

🤞

[frozen mountain]

guys what is this long neck cave leech looking creature that comes out if you are playing the mission for too lomg

[broken flame]

Non-existent

[polar vessel]

There isnt one but what are you talking about specifically

[pallid beacon]

Are we allowed to share links to youtube videos here? Or does that count as advertising?
I was watching this video on rogue core and it's lack of risk/punishments and wanted to ask if anyone who played the beta has the same feeling or not

Neither me or my friends got access to the beta so

[boreal plume]

Those only spawn when the timer goes Intro the red. They are unkillable tentacles. You can damage them to make them retreat but thats it. Do your best to avoid them

[boreal plume]

You mean the video from the youtuber gaddergoose

[pallid beacon]

yeah, damn you nailed the exact video it was

you think he had a point, or was it just talk?

[boreal plume]

Yeah that video got a lot of traction

I'm not a tester myself but I've watched lots of rogue core over the past few months. I don't agree with some of the points and suggestions in that video. Some other testers with hundreds of hours in RC don't agree with some of it as well. Nonetheless the devs have acknowledged the feedback and are probably doing their best to give the game it's own identity. One thing to keep in mind is that the gameplay and script of that video is apparently from December and some things have changed since then, such as the tentacles.

[pallid beacon]

I figured, I've seen similar types of videos about other games that I ended up disagreeing with once I actually started playing, but I'm not really too active here so I wasn't aware what the general idea people have is.

I saw it was posted 3 weeks ago, so I thought it was made quite recently, if there's already been changes then it's not really accurate anymore

Oh well, I can hardly wait until the early access is out!

[boreal plume]

Yeah you gotta try it out and decide for yourself

It's easy to get concerned while listening to criticism for a game that's in alpha

[manic sleet]

Can people who got access play as much as they want or only on designated test weekends?

And what about the progress you made in-game, will it be reset when early access comes and will that progress be reset when the game fully releases?

[boreal plume]

As much as they want

[boreal plume]

Yes, it will be completely reset. It already gets a reset between playtest waves

But early access progress probably wont be reset

[manic sleet]

I see 👌

[carmine pier]

Early Access progress won't be reset yes

[short crane]

Tysm !!

[short crane]

It's not under NDA ?

[raven valley]

No

The FAQ in the pins might answer some more questions you could have

[tacit urchin]

Early Access probably not. Alpha access will

Goddammit. I should've read the entire conversation

[river shore]

Hello, does anybody know how much rogue core will cost?

[formal magnet]

roughly the same as how much DRG cost at launch but not confirmed yet

[inner granite]

5 stones and 2 rocks

[oak locust]

Early access will be on xbox? Do we know?

do I have to buy a PC

[oak locust]

rock and stone! rock and stone! stone! stone! stone!

[boreal plume]

early access won't be on consoles

and full release is uncertain

[summer dew]

30 days left

[formal magnet]

how it feels seeing the same 3 questions cycle every 2 days

leaf lovers

[hot panther]

Just to know, our progress in the playtest will carry over, yes? No retrying when achievements come? Or promotions lost? Or cosmetics lost?

[tacit urchin]

No, it won't

[boreal plume]

lol, lmao even

[hot panther]

Damnnnn

[tacit urchin]

Playtest is a different game technically

[formal magnet]

make that 4 questions

[tacit urchin]

Also, saves would 90% break

[boreal plume]

HAHAHAHA

[hot panther]

It's fineee, but damnnnn

Pretty fun game, feels quite incomplete, dunno if early access could feel much different

[tacit urchin]

That's playtests for you

[boreal plume]

yeah, also not resetting your save could probably break your game

[formal magnet]

I just wished levels stayed but the level system would likely change too much + it's technically a different game

[hot panther]

I know it's just early access, but still

[formal magnet]

I'm saving my save and seeing if I can just drop it in the files

[tacit urchin]

If you mean content-wise, then that's normal

[hot panther]

Yeah, just worried people will end up disliking rogue core too early

[tacit urchin]

DRG wasn't full of features at the start too

[boreal plume]

gatekeeper comes out of the pc

[hot panther]

like rn I can try and push through to finish all the tasks in map + some deep dive equivalents, but I can't see myself playing much more than that

[formal magnet]

it's over

[hot panther]

Omg it's John DeepRockGalactic

Employee of Deep Rock Galactic

friend of Karl

[short yacht]

I see myself playing rogue core for rogueillion hours because I am DRG's strongest warrior

[hot panther]

Just like Karl would

[short yacht]

Karl would enjoy being a reclaimer

Unfortunately he decided to stay on hoxxes and drink beer with lootbugs

this is 100% real and true

[formal magnet]

why is there no embeds I can't post embeds stickers

he has the fact check true

[modest pendant]

Falconner, is the new Engineer, about to blow up that bird from the sky

@sudden laurel

[random belfry]

Correct me if Im wrong. Seemed that watching the lastest dev stream, a new batch of playtest invites will be sent sometime coming week?

[olive cosmos]

guess we need to teach it some calculus to make it not rogue anymore

[stark edge]

is there some place for me to share bugs

nvm i found it

[north coral]

is there a leak on how much rogue core wil be priced?

just like DRG i assume?

[hot panther]

Karl would not approve of this.

[random belfry]

I assume similar pricing, but will surely know closer to release

[north coral]

alright

[raven wharf]

All hail the pinned messages. The answer to many questions.
