rogue-core-chat

[lyric sapphire]

Idk its just directs me like a normal invite and thats it

[formal magnet]

you can get it done by a human

[boreal plume]

you could message GSG Jenny about it with your Steam ID

she can link your discord manually

[lyric sapphire]

I dont really play that much so its w/e

can always use the ig bug report too

[limpid osprey]

id like to apologize for being such a big baby about the price because of some insane miscommunication wit the people on my end, ive actually been supposed to have enough to safely get the games ive wanted this whole time and rogue core later, i will not talk about the price again until the game comes out, thank you for your patience

[formal magnet]

I don't think it's that deep but it's fine bro

[tacit urchin]

That's pretty official

[boreal plume]

who sent a reclaimer to this persons house

[limpid osprey]

no its a genuine apology, because of a genuine mishap im communication I was supposed to get an extra $25 a couple weeks ago so I got it now and its enough to still be in the green for rogue core

[boreal plume]

I was about to joke again but nevermind

glad you got the money

see you down there on the 20th

[signal egret]

i don't care how much rouge core is, I'd buy it for 100

it will be worth it

[obtuse cargo]

What about blue core

[signal egret]

everything in my life has been leading up to this point

rouge core releasing will be the apex

rogue whatever the fuck

i woke up like 30 minutes ago

🥀

I've been counting the days

the hours, minutes

seconds even

[obtuse cargo]

I'm happy you're excited what about it

Is so appealing

[short yacht]

Rogue core tomorrow

[tacit robin]

time for some Waitmate

[random drift]

Why does going melee locks you in some kind of animation limiting your mobility

[tiny hemlock]

Imagine future missions the Reclaimers gets Dreadnought missions but the ones we fight have been fully developed

The eggs naturally hatched

It's a scary thought, the dreadnoughts we fight are in the eggs for a reason

And us cracking the eggs early means we've interrupted their evolution

We're only fighting dreadnoughts at their developing stage

Imagine a fully developed dreadnoughts where usual equipment our miners use are simply not enough and justifies sending the Reclaimers

[signal egret]

well I'd imagine there's a good reason nobody fights them when they're fully grown

probably because they're nigh unstoppable

but I'd imagine DRG has had to before

[tiny hemlock]

I wanna see a Fully developed dreadnoughts in Rogue core

I think the reclaimers have the equipment to fight it although hard

[chilly bison]

Would also make sense, since the Reclaimers have military-grade equipment.

[signal egret]

I'd also like to see them but I'd imagine they're like

absolutely colossal

like entire cave sized beings I'd imagine

[tiny hemlock]

Imagine things like

"Alright Reclaimers you've been sent here to destroy a fully developed Dreadnought class Glyphid"

[tiny hemlock]

Imagine your mission is to find the dreadnought eggs and finds one but destroyed, no signs of dwarf activity but there are holes left behind by the dreadnoughtss

[signal egret]

i just dunno how you'd manage a boss like that

if the hiveguard we fight in DRG were fully developed I don't know how you'd deal with it

or even what it'd look like

[tacit robin]

hell nah I don't get paid enough for that shi

[gleaming musk]

Boss the size of rig 17

[cerulean shuttle]

i wonder what would happen if the rogue core dwarves met the drg dwarves

[boreal plume]

staredown scene from zoolander

[tacit robin]

drinking and bragging

[lyric sapphire]

god

i fking hope they do something with the egg physics on elevators in the excavation event

i just predrilled all of em before starting the wave, put them on elevator just for all of em to glitching with the elevator and they all launched in all directions after the elevator stopped lmao

[formal magnet]

the geodes? yh they bounce off a lot

[lyric sapphire]

ye im skipping this event

first time they just bounce everytime i launch the platform

[formal magnet]

I do it if there's not a swarm Geode, if there is I go untill I get the XP one then leave the rest

[lyric sapphire]

But u can only identify if theres swarm geode if u launch it right?

[verbal mural]

is all my rogue core data supposed to be reset

[formal magnet]

by accident yh, the esc menu has a save list you can get your save from

[urban field]

Honestly I feel like rogue core might surpass DRG for me at this point, seeing the base game is starting to run stale for me

[formal magnet]

I like DRG more but I've been playing it for years so I'm enjoying RC a lot more

[urban field]

For me the build variety has been getting stale, seeing I "solved" the game a long time ago

Game still really fun regardless

[boreal plume]

Yeah that looked very bad to me from the start, surprised they haven't done something about it yet

[soft bramble]

Is there a thread for pointing out bugs and what not? Nothing serious just a text using characters from a different language (mid sentence) in Omega's speech at the bar.

[lyric sapphire]

so i just got timer swarm

and first egg i deposited was core breach

nice

[boreal plume]

[lyric sapphire]

also cooper is just fking lost when u order to mine the eggs out lol

it just digs straight forward

[boreal plume]

You have access to the alpha testing channels, look there

Another alpha tester could show the appropriate channels

[soft bramble]

Ok, thanks for pointing the way!

[cerulean shuttle]

my driller main friend CANNOT know that the driller primaries aren't in rogue core

[lyric sapphire]

tell em theres still c4

[urban field]

Aren't drillers primaries just thrown together war crimes that the engineer helped in concern

But fr, idk if the driller primaries would work in the context of rogue core

[formal magnet]

And a pistol that underwent 70 surgeries but it's still the drillers pistol at heart

[lyric sapphire]

lark?

[formal magnet]

Currently they don't because of the new elemental system

Yh

It's the Subarta technically

[lyric sapphire]

i found the splash dmg fun for the first time

[barren panther]

I am torn between the slicer or falconer for my first few runs. Which do yall think I should pick?

[formal magnet]

Slicer, he can trimp

[lyric sapphire]

Can also cancel fall dmg with the dash which is nice

also really strong melee skill so u can take some melee upgrades and just profit

[tacit robin]

do u like slicing or falconing more?

[barren panther]

I have not played yet because I never got into the alpha. I have been watching several videos on the game and me and my friends can't wait for the game to launch.

[short tree]

does anyone know how long it typically takes to be accepted to the playtest?

[lyric sapphire]

rng , most likely today was the last wave of invites so

if u didnt get in gotta wait for EA

[short tree]

f

thank you!

[urban field]

Still a bad and overly basic weapon in a sea of bangers

[lyric sapphire]

The devs tried with at the time experimental feature of ppl that got invited could just invite friends but had some issues with it or whatever so they didnt use it

[formal magnet]

Lark is so good, the +50% weakpoint damage it has is amazing

[urban field]

Yeah but if I had to choose between subuta and literally any other gun I choose the latter.

[lyric sapphire]

meanwhile mm4 with barely any interesting upgrades
💀

[formal magnet]

Lark or the devestator

[formal magnet]

it does like 2K damage, fills the niche of high damage gun

[urban field]

Lark or hamerhead

[formal magnet]

hamerhead?

Lark still

[urban field]

Bruh

[formal magnet]

hamercaster?

[urban field]

Oh yeh sorry

[formal magnet]

auto correct xd

[urban field]

I just like the hammercaster a lot sru

[formal magnet]

I don't like the hamercaster much, the armour pierce doesn't help me and the max ammo is a bit low

I also dislike the aiming reticule it has but that's mostly preference

[urban field]

Yeah more useful guns in the game. I just like the idea of firing comically large shells at things

So I don't care

[formal magnet]

fairs

Only guns I consider bad is the Devestator and Thunderhead

[urban field]

But devastator pistol is either meh or fucking broken

[formal magnet]

they're still usable but a lot more niche

[urban field]

Here's hoping for a buff

[formal magnet]

it just needs more ammo

give it +100% ammo if it's your only gun

[severe needle]

Any images on what the supporter pack looks like yet?

[urban field]

No

[formal magnet]

if you have the alpha you can see a video #discussion-rc-alpha message

it looks very good though, one of the best pickaxe skins and funny bonuses

[torpid ledge]

Sorry if this has been asked thousands of times already, but has there been any update on the price of rouge?

[summer tiger]

More weakpoint damage is always a good choice

[marble vault]

Any steam deck users here? How is your experience? Performance doesn’t feel good to me whatsoever. Tbh I haven’t changed the device framecap so could be that? But I hope it gets some optimisation like drg did. That game rocks ( and stones..) on deck

[broken flame]

Damn. No luck, guess it's release day for me

[random drift]

I can't find any servers

And if I do I get black screen trying to join and have to restart the game

[formal magnet]

could be a wifi issue

or a bug to do with connecting to the server

[red hull]

BTW, will the progress be wiped on release?

[formal magnet]

Yep

[red hull]

Dang

[jaunty sparrow]

is there new types of damage in rc that isnt in deep rock

[void crystal]

Will there be season pass like DRG does

[daring hill]

yes, and everything interacts with each other in much more dynamic ways

[tall plume]

hopefully never

[daring hill]

two new base effects, poison and acid

its no longer just exclusively fire damage and ice damage that interact

[void crystal]

But it make motivation thou, without them it like there is no motivation feeling

[daring hill]

DRG already had that before seasons tbh

[jaunty sparrow]

i thought acid damage was already in base drg

[daring hill]

and the idea that DRG benefitted in the long run from seasonal updates is... debatable

[jaunty sparrow]

crossbow

[lyric sapphire]

@jaunty sparrow https://imgur.com/a/c3OsPWJ

[daring hill]

it is, but it didn't interact with anything else and was exclusively to 1-2 weapons

[tall plume]

it definitely benefited in the long run

though the marketing of the whole idea was the issue

[modest condor]

are these actually from the game?

[lyric sapphire]

im in the game rn bruh

[modest condor]

awesome, thanks

[daring hill]

until season 5, most seasonal updates were content that oversaturated everything, disappeared once the update was over, and often pushed for specific methods of engagement. And content was almost exclusively season-related, too.
Seasons 5 and 6 stopped doing this and, as a result, are the most well received seasons since the whole thing started by far, but even then not everyone likes them

[lyric sapphire]

np

[daring hill]

marketing was/is definitely not the only issue with seasons

[hearty chasm]

100

[daring hill]

can someone with image perms repost this image?
#discussion-rc-alpha message

to show how complex the new elemental system is

or the relevant reclaimers handbook page, since thats probably more accurate now

[tall plume]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1366343433442295828/1437446988970065971/image.webp?ex=6a072bd4&is=6a05da54&hm=7b967f56dac529e3827d3ec82cb72583f27ba32d9aec31918c420b447b7df6ec&=&format=webp

hm

there you go

that's a WIP chart though, it's probably a bit different now

[modest condor]

This is awesome I love that these reactions exist

reminds me of Divinity 2

[urban field]

Should I play the play test again or just wait for the release at this point :p

[inner granite]

Looks like alchemy chart for no mans sky

[whole acorn]

so ik the price is meant to be 23-30 i heard but is there any more specifics yet? it would suck if its 30 for me because i would be short like a dollar

[tall plume]

no specifics yet

[whole acorn]

is there a more accurate price than what i said?

[tall plume]

no

[whole acorn]

alright thank you

[inner granite]

A kidney

And half eyeball

[whole acorn]

would it go towards the LOK-I?

new halloween weapon skin

[tardy vale]

weird that theres no mention of the elemental system in any of the marketing

[tall plume]

what's weird about that ?

marketing is about the spectacle, not the intricate game systems

[whole acorn]

i havent seen anything on the elemental changes since im ignoring spoilers but usually elemental systems arent a selling point for anyone besides people who played their previous game, which i have a feeling they are looking for some new members

and i have a feeling doing marketing for specifically people who played DRG or survivor are already gonna buy rogue core regardless of what they show

[tardy vale]

being able to mix match elements like that seems really cool tho(unless its just like, status effects)

[formal magnet]

guns can have multiple

same in DRG where enemies can stack effects

[whole acorn]

alright imma get out of here lol, dont want to see spoilers

[formal magnet]

fairs

6 days to go

[tacit robin]

my life coach only told me to get RC then charged me $300

[umbral tendon]

And?

[cloud mantle]

valuable advice

[dapper bough]

is this basically drg with more combat?

[lyric sapphire]

It doesnt play like DRG at all its it own thing

[daring hill]

who wants an epic leak about rogue core

you've asked for it for years, you've wanted it for years

rogue core has water in the game world

its not like, pools of water or anything

that was never going to happen

but yo can find valves in the world that, when broken, spit out water with enough power to cover an entire room

[random drift]

Silverback is hands down the best starting weapon

We even got a heavy weapons crate and I refused to take any because it was that good

I also got a perk that turns 1% of damage into ammo and forgot about resups because headshots were crazy

[tacit urchin]

There are better

[random drift]

I guess I haven't seen them yet

[tacit urchin]

You can discover them for yourself

[formal magnet]

it's very good but I think there's better

[jaunty sparrow]

this is what a wizard spell combination chart look like

[lament anchor]

@formal magnet one key please

On The rocks

[formal magnet]

what

[whole helm]

are you still able to send a friend an invite to the game

[formal magnet]

nah

that got removed ages ago

[whole helm]

damn that sucks

[formal magnet]

it was really buggy so it got removed

[lament anchor]

Sealo got me tho

On the rocks

Ya heard

[formal magnet]

[tacit urchin]

No

[random drift]

What is the difference between depths

Like missions can have different hazards on the same depth

So what is a depth then

They felt the same ngl

[formal magnet]

Depth is Hazard

the haz symbol is used for complexity which is how hard it is to traverse the cave

Depth changes a lot to do with enemy stats and how many there are

[random drift]

I see

[obtuse cargo]

Is the hardest depth hard

[iron flare]

Painful seeing so many invites going out and still not getting in...5 days to go...

[formal magnet]

Depends on player skill level

4 is a lot harder than 3 that's for sure

[unique kite]

d4 is harder than haz5 fs

[silent cradle]

Is there something like god runs

[unique kite]

sorta

closest thing is prob like 0cd retcon

but even on powerful runs things can go south real quick

[signal token]

game crashed upon reaching level 4 😜

[eternal barn]

did they do another wave today or somethin?

[iron flare]

From what ive seen its been a slow trickle up towards release

I could be wrong tho

[formal magnet]

There was a wave yesterday

No new ones mentioned since

[left bridge]

and they also said that the previous one was propably the last one since the EA launch is so close

[grim crow]

so does each mission start at haz 1 and then go to haz 5?

[obtuse cargo]

is it like haz 5

[crystal moat]

I made new nice suggestion on dedicated channel. What's you guys think about it?

[formal magnet]

There's Depth 1-4 you can chose that work as hazards but missions also become harder the further you get

[formal magnet]

Depends on the player and build honestly, depth 4 is generally harder than Haz 5 but it's not 1:1

Games too different and has too many builds and play styles to just say yes or no

[formal magnet]

I like the idea but I think having them separate works well, both groups work for DRG but their jobs are totally different and they have different goals and priorities. I think reference could be cool for holiday events but idk on full traversal between the space rig and ramrod

[cedar ocean]

is deep dive fun?

[inner dirge]

hey folks i think i found a typo on Rogue Core's steam page

who should i tell/where do i go to tell someone

Under system reqs the minimum ram is 8 gigabytes, whilst recommended says 8 megabytes

which 8mb is ofc a lot smaller than 8gb

oh i see the report typos tab under QA, nvm

[somber oyster]

is going to have cross play, between xbox and pc?

[formal magnet]

Not at EA launch but maybe later

[boreal plume]

5 daya left

[boreal plume]

Crossplay is very unlikely to be coming. Only way to crossplay between PC and Xbox will probably be the microsoft store version of Rogue Core, but then you won't be able to play with steam players from what I've heard. It probably will be the same as DRG

[silent cradle]

I want to buy Rogue Core but Doom 2016 is dirt cheap

Which way

[signal token]

I believe there is a "Suggestion-discussion" channel ideal for your question ...

[silent cradle]

Nvm my PC cant run Doom 2016

Gotta save up for Rogue Core then

[weary relic]

For the people that played the playtest, has it been confirmed if the early access release will be different to the playtest?

New changes/features?

[silent cradle]

I think the EA release will have some changes and bugfixes compared to Closed Alpha

[brave pilot]

Does Rogue Core have any static enemies

Stuff akin to Spitball Infectors or Scalebrambles

Besides Cave Leeches, I know Rogue Core has those.

[lyric sapphire]

Theres a spawner of mobs thats static and also something like kinda septic spreader but on ceiling

[brave pilot]

got it, thanks

[lyric sapphire]

other than that nothing much

edgewalkers kinda act like ranged stationary until you shoot at them then they reposition

[brave pilot]

Those are the tall ones that look like tesla towers with legs right

[lyric sapphire]

ye

[brave pilot]

I think I need to learn how the enemies work in this game

I did all of one run ever and actually won it, but I feel like that was just beginner's luck

[boreal plume]

I think there will be some minor changes

but they might put those in before early access

[silent cradle]

Also the cave leech is still in Rogue Core

[boreal plume]

other than that I don't think there's any major content coming

[nova ledge]

<@&296918282403840000> sorry to be a bother but seems im not able to join the ||exclusive playtest channel||

[boreal plume]

are you getting error 403

[nova ledge]

yes

[boreal plume]

DM GSG Jenny your Steam ID so she can link your discord manually #rogue-core-chat message

[bright sphinx]

why did all my progress in rogue core reset

[boreal plume]

accidental wipe that came with the update, you might be able to recover your progress from the save menu in the settings

[bright sphinx]

oh nice

thanks

[tardy vale]

that question made me think, is there any enemy like the Cave Leecher and the Pit Jaws in Rogue Core?(besides the two obv)

[viral merlin]

I love trolling misogynists in the new rogue core trailers yt comments

[lyric sapphire]

From enemies tht can grab you and kill theres 2

reaperworm and cave leech

[viral merlin]

they're like the meme of the japanese soldier who kept fighting ww2 29 years after it ended

[lyric sapphire]

k how about u take that to twitter tho

[viral merlin]

but its funni

they get mad about haircuts

[lyric sapphire]

ye but this aint place for that shit tho

[viral merlin]

true

bye

have a good day

or night

[torpid plover]

Will players get discount for Rouge Core if they own DRG :?

[bright sphinx]

pay the toll

[lyric sapphire]

Havent heard about any discount on EA launch

They did put 25% discount on Early access DRG during summer sale and thatwas like 4-5 months after the EA released so maybe we can expect some discount next month on summer sale? But thats just guessing

[jaunty sparrow]

Rogue core tomorrow (5 days)

[lyric sapphire]

im rogueing my core rn

[broken flame]

No

Not for specifically owning DRG

And since it's EA there probably won't be a bundle or anything

[inner granite]

Devs said they'll try to set up "finish your collection" for DRG and RC

So technically yes

[summer tiger]

There will also be a Supporter DLC right from Day 1

[short yacht]

Rogue core tomorrow

[tacit urchin]

One day you'll be right

Doesn't that scare you?

[short yacht]

No

I look forward to this day

[daring hill]

"one day" ok so in 4 days

[tacit urchin]

Damn, you chill like that

Radial, no need to be smug about it! :(

[summer tiger]

Rogue Core in 4 tomorrows

[daring hill]

deltarune chapter 5 is going to come out the hour before, making steam totally unusable

and none of you can buy it

[short yacht]

I am going to change RC release date so I can say rogue core tomorrow until I get bored

[wet jasper]

Does rogue core have like a new hub and everything? And in the trailer there was like a weight lifting mechanic so does that make the game roguelite? (Not to be confused with roguelike)

[tacit urchin]

yes

weight lifting mechanic is how you get beer in RC

it's not fancy, game changing beer, just normal stuff

[short yacht]

How many glyphid dreadnoughts would it take to kill a single reclaimer (no weapons, no arms, no legs, no brains, no abilities)

[tacit urchin]

0, they'd probably be dead lmao

[wet jasper]

How much roguelite is in the game then? Coz I’m not the biggest roguelike fan

[short yacht]

100 because they would just kill dreadnoughts with their aura

[tacit urchin]

Wrong reply

[short yacht]

Replied to wrong message

YES I KNOW

😡😡😡

[tacit urchin]

I NEED to tell you

[tacit urchin]

Just watch a video of the gameplay to find out, or dev streams

[boreal plume]

And silksong dlc

And gta 6 surprise pc release before the console release

[tacit urchin]

And subnautica 2... no wait

[left bridge]

i do hope they are going to release the ost on the EA launch day

[meager river]

when? 20 of May?

[boreal plume]

Most likely

The DRG ost was released on early access

And we were teased #rogue-core-chat message

[left bridge]

i did not know that but i cant wait to hear the full ost i have only heard a bit of it and ofc core stone theme

[boreal plume]

Yeah that will come with the RC ost

It's in the game

We will finally get a name for it

It has been Core Stone theme for so long

[daring hill]

In both DRG and Rogue Core, it's internal name is Rift

Notably it was composed for DRG first

When the closed alpha first launched, it used the version from season 5

[boreal plume]

Interesting

I wonder what changed about it

[left bridge]

yeah the core stone theme does have 3 versions of it

[summer tiger]

There's also new jukebox music

That should release too

[idle basin]

My hype for rogue core has been completely shattered by reddit, I can't stop seeing people be extremely negative towards the game and saying that the game shouldn't exist in the first place. Is it really THAT flawed?

[olive narwhal]

Mostly just reddit but it certainly has an uphill battle

[sage cradle]

Nah
It's definitely not release-ready when it comes to the amount of content, but it has potential

Like it probably shouldn't be dropping this soon if the Alpha is actually what it's gonna be dropping with, but it could get there

[short yacht]

You answered your own question by mentioning reddit

[idle basin]

The complaints people have range from "yeah it's actually an early access game that'll definitely improve" to "nothing in this game is good in the slightest. Every design choice works against itself and base DRG is so much better in every single regard and Ghost Ship should burn this game"

[tacit urchin]

It's releasing in EA because it has basics down, but not a lot of content

Which is about 80% of EAs

[short yacht]

Have people considered that RC is NOT DRG?

[tacit urchin]

Not... not Electronic Arts

[short yacht]

If you want RC to be DRG just play DRG

[idle basin]

I've genuinely seen people suggest this game be abandoned and forgotten and ghost ship should only work on drg and that 3 years was a waste when they could've added so much
Insanity

[tacit urchin]

They would complain about the main game instead ngl

[sage cradle]

Yeah
It's like 75% of the way to what should be the EA release, it should at least drop with all 5 bosses, and the fact there's less than 10 mission modifiers is kinda crazy

[short yacht]

True

If RC wasnt in development people would just latch onto stuff in drg

[sage cradle]

Every run feels basically the same, and that's the game's biggest flaw currently

[short yacht]

and call it bad, ass and other other things

[left bridge]

Yeah that's a problem i have seen too, there is no alternative exit and the objective is always the same + the things you do in a level are often the same stuff but there are stuff to make it more interesting and less repetitive.

[tacit urchin]

A lot of people are just not happy that RC "leeched life" out of DRG

[olive narwhal]

Certainly in a better state than if it had launched in EA last year

[idle basin]

Yeah that's part of the actual valid criticism I've seen, but I feel like other people have criticism purely because they believe they deserve updates for drg

It's a very strange way of treating devs where you think they should only work on this one game

[tacit urchin]

Eh, it can get fixed with content and not something hard to do, just time consuming

[idle basin]

Genuine comments I've seen:
It's a shame that after spending three years developing Rogue Core, this is the best they could come up with. When I think about how amazing the game could have been if they'd spent that time on DRG instead, it's really disappointing. I don't think it's worth developing Rogue Core to the point of outsourcing DRG updates to another company.

Absolutely agreed. Rogue Core should really be completely abandoned and they need to refocus their efforts on DRG.

[sage cradle]

Insane

DRG is already being basically carried by the MCR dev at this point anyways

The main game devs can do whatever the hell they want lmao

[idle basin]

I wonder how these people would react to og drg

And the outsourcing updates thing is so strange because. Seasons 5 and 6 were great and were released during rogue core development so I'm kind of confused as to what you want from updates if not two of the best seasons

[olive narwhal]

Season 5 was GSG in which time rogue core was put on hold can't focus on the 2 projects at once and get good results

[idle basin]

Yeah fair, but still season 6 is great
I'm a tad newer so I don't know firsthand but from what I heard people weren't fans of season 3 and 4

[olive narwhal]

4 was a bit a mess(I believe they were working on RC in the background at that point)

4 definitely suffered from being around a while this was prior to a season selection toggle

RC will likely benefit quite a bit over its EA period(18-24 months) tho

[left bridge]

they did add the remove event stuff thing during the November patch

which did help quite a bit considering people did not like the rockpox

[olive narwhal]

November 2023 i think

They have escaped seasons sharing the same theme for 2 seasons atleast

Ideally RC just won't go under a season model

[left bridge]

if RC will get seasons it will only be after 1.0

[boreal plume]

probably not

[left bridge]

but i do want them to do something else for RC instead of seasons cuz thats DRG thing

[boreal plume]

I don't know the budget of these things but hopefully the game will be successful enough to support long term development

[median condor]

Does anyone know if there will be more content in early access vs current closed beta? Or is what we have now identical to EA release?

[oak shale]

They already prepared a DLC possibility (saw the button in the game). But I did not heard of seasonal stuff, only that for class could come.

[umbral tendon]

I assume they are just looking to patch up all the many bugs before release, polish it up and whatnot

[oak shale]

That is what they annouced.

[left bridge]

i think it will have the same amount of content right now will stay the same for EA launch, the devs have been fixing bugs, typos and removing placeholders for a bit now

[boreal plume]

is there still placeholder stuff in the game, like the expenite gems

even the narrated trailer had the placeholder model

[oak shale]

Good move : fix what you have, not risking to increase technical debts out of control

[umbral tendon]

Chaos move : Turn on class duplication right on launch

[oak shale]

On the Rig it is logic to see regular miners

[fickle dock]

Wasn’t there a whole ass new boss in the new trailer?

[left bridge]

no

[umbral tendon]

nope

[fickle dock]

So the 4 legged rock thing was already in the game?

[umbral tendon]

They got another in staging though

[left bridge]

yeah it was added this year not sure when

but i did hear that there was a 4th boss in the files of the game

[fickle dock]

I doubt that it’s finished

But we’ll see

[left bridge]

yeah i never saw anything about it and only heard that it was super unfinished and was only possible to fight if you had the cheat menu and choose it from there as the boss of the level

[boreal plume]

that's the fourth boss

afaik

[fickle dock]

You’re not gonna guess what wilk just said

[boreal plume]

the fourth boss you can only fight through the cheat terminal

ah didn't see that part

[fickle dock]

[boreal plume]

they probably haven't worked on the 4th that much since alpha 6 was polishing focused

the other bosses have gotten better from what I saw

[fickle dock]

The 3rd boss is the big shark thingy?

[left bridge]

yeah i managed to find a video about the 4th boss and its really unfinished and i doubt its making it into EA

but it appeared to be a stationary boss similar to the caretaker

[fickle dock]

Only time will tell what they’ll do with the game

I personally can’t wait

[left bridge]

the 3th boss is walking fortress

[fickle dock]

What’s the second then?

[boreal plume]

rafkan

flying boss, idk if they showed it in the trailer

[fickle dock]

ah alright

[fickle dock]

I don’t think they did, I have seen it when it was quite unfinished though

[left bridge]

2nd one is the flying shark and the first one is the weird 4 legged thing

[boreal plume]

gotoorak, rafkan and molaktula

I like the names

[left bridge]

i think the best looking one is Molaktula it just looks so weird and cool at the same time

[fickle dock]

I’m a fan of big rock fortress

[left bridge]

and its nice that they made them unique so they specialize in certain types of attacks

[boreal plume]

I probably like gotoorak the most but it's animations are a little bit weird some times

molaktula looks menacing af though, very cool

[fickle dock]

To be fair all of them have really cool designs

[left bridge]

yeah the walking on walls thing is a bit odd for something that big

[olive narwhal]

The 3rd boss was actually the second boss super early in the closed alpha iirc saw alot of changes from then tho

[boreal plume]

I also feel like Gotoorak's steps should make more sound. Like a spider maybe. The dreadnoughts had it, the dwarves also have it. A boss that size should have it too. IDK if it makes any sound

[olive narwhal]

Boss 3 has the privilege of looking like metagross

[wary tiger]

Uhm ackshyually the resonance cascade proved to have caused some effects in hoxxes ☝️🤓

[boreal plume]

[wary tiger]

It was ackshyually proved in many scientific and biological papers that the one free dwarf pushed the xen creatures (xen probably being some kind of mispronunciation of hoxxian) deep into the core when he came onto the planet

[umbral tendon]

Yes but what about the Ebonuts

Do the corespawn eat them?

[olive narwhal]

The corespawn actually make more by sticking employees and wild life into more corespawn by putting them in cocoons which slowly changes the genetic data

[wary tiger]

Those were actually super duper hyper mega magical nuts that granted the """xen""" fauna the ability to rogue the """xen""" core

[umbral tendon]

Ohhhh

That makes sense

[wary tiger]

That's why the rift gates are actually just very special, upgraded versions of whatever crystals black mesa was using for testing

It all links back to the rafkan being the original founders of the com🅱️ine and conquering hoxxes v and vi

[summer tiger]

Molaktula? Yeah, it's finished and it's the best boss out of 3 available

[olive narwhal]

It was actually the second boss we got to see the early bits of I think

[tired magnet]

Hey all, how can I change haz difficulty in Rogue Core? All current areas are Haz 4, and I'm finding it way too hard as a solo.

[olive narwhal]

You select depth on the right side

Although I thought you would be locked at depth 1 if you hadn't done the Intel objectives

[left bridge]

funny thing the 2nd boss Ramok actually was showcased On the state of Rogue Core in 2024, it used to be a regular enemy called Rafkan Rammer and it still looks pretty similar whit some colors changes and ofc size

[summer tiger]

It's not difficulty, it's length. How many rooms there are in the level. If you just started you are at Depth 1, the lowest difficulty

[olive narwhal]

In terms of actually testing a boss molaktula it was before feesh

Although you could probably barely compare current molaktula to its prototype

[tired magnet]

Oh really? Damn this game is hard so far then since I'm only on depth 1 💀

[olive narwhal]

Depth 1 actually was made a bit easier recently

But the difficulty is intended will definitely take time to get a good handle on how the core spawn move around and such

[summer tiger]

You went on reddit, that's your mistake. I love DRG, have played it for 1,8k hours, last 100h in S6. But if you start analysing the game you can see it's framework is quite limiting. There is only certain combination of objectives you can think of and what you can do with them. There is only a certain number of weapon archetypes you can make and OC that make a real difference. RC doesn't have those limits, you can go wild with weapons that are just guns and don't fit 4 classes of DRG. You can add abilities, you can add bosses, you can add events. RC offers much better framework for what devs can do with it. Most negative comments that you can see circling around have been answered by the devs in their videos or during streams.

[summer tiger]

Puts a lot of pressure on you, doesn't it? You need to move fast and know what you are doing. Without it you will easily fall into the red times and fail the mission quite quickly

[boreal plume]

People on instagram, youtube and twitter are much more positive from what I've seen

[tired magnet]

I'm more so finding it fairly overwhelming with the amount of enemies, sometimes lack of ammo (got to the boss, down to his last health bar and ran out of ammo...) especially when near the elevator. Will try play some more and hopefully get better! Does this game have scaling difficulty, since I am solo?

[summer tiger]

As a continuation- only thing that DRG can offer now is new OC but that requires a lot of creativity, new biomes and new cosmetics. Outside of that I don't think there's more to it.

[boreal plume]

Yeah difficulty scales with more players

[summer tiger]

Yes, game scales with amount of players abut also with your progress down the level. To offset that you have upgrades. Note that enhancements and bio boosters play a major role in this game.

From testing I found that "more ammo" enhancements are a bit of a trap. On average they don't do much outside of taking space of other, more useful ones. It's much better to pick enhancements that boost your weakpoint damage, power attack cooldown and steady aim

You also can't forget ressuplier - on tier IV it gives you 70% of your total ammo on restock and reloads your weapons. It's one of the major enchancements that makes a lot of difference.

You can also skip pretty much enhancements that boost your health and armour - you can boost them yourself in mission with upgrades

[olive narwhal]

Cushion is nice to have increases the distance you can fall before the slow down feeds you to the mob

[idle basin]

That's good, I got my hype from the expectation and also watching YouTube videos recently so it was kinda sad having that kinda ruined by people on reddit absolutely despising it.

[boreal plume]

We kinda focus on negative comments when looking through reactions and overlook all the excited people

[summer tiger]

Yeah, best to watch some of the @uncut folio videos or @north dome gameplay, their videos encapsulate quite well what you gonna get on Day 1 or early access

[idle basin]

Jonto was the one I watched lol, love his stuff

[summer tiger]

There's also @sick narwhal , he also make good videos

[fickle dock]

“””””people””””” on Reddit more often than not have really bad opinions

[idle basin]

The DRG sub is usually chill I wasn't expecting this amount of hate towards rogue core there, sad honestly

[boreal plume]

I remember watching DRG from a world of warships streamer in 2021, the game looked so fun I bought it myself, and it got soo much content after that. I'm sure Rogue Core will improve just as much.

[fickle dock]

People will complain about everything and anything

[fickle dock]

I just hope there’s more biomes

As biomes and cave gen in deep rock is something I enjoy a LOT

[sick narwhal]

RC is still in closed alpha it has a long way to go from here. That being said it does have some problems but the game has a solid foundation to work from.

[left bridge]

ossuary depths will prob get added to RC after EA

[idle basin]

The only really valid points I've seen are diversity in the game, stuff like biomes and things to do.
The rest of the points are bullshit I choose to ignore cause what do you mean every single mechanic in the game works against each other

[boreal plume]

Cave gen is definitely important right now. As for biomes, I would like the existing ones improved for now. I would be excited for new ones too

[fickle dock]

I would love to see some other biomes rather than the ones we have in the base game

I mean, I wouldn’t complain if we got glacial strata and sandblasted corridors

also biome specific facilities would be sick

Like different designs depending on which biome you’re in

[lyric sapphire]

those are already in RC

[left bridge]

RC does have a biome that's not in DRG and i think its the core biome which you enter after going down a few levels, but i really hope we get a biome that looks similar to those very old first teaser images from RC whit the Green and Blue biome

[fickle dock]

I’ve heard that it’s a bit bland right now

[fickle dock]

Then I’m happy

[idle basin]

Is hollow bough in rc?

[summer tiger]

Thing with biomes work a bit differently in RC. Each facility gets more and more corrupted deeper you go. The starting biome changes to the core biome on the last two levels of the mission. I'd argue that game needs more fantastical elements of said biome like those gigantic expenite crystals that we could've seen during the announcement

[left bridge]

well it is dark and gritty similar to ossuary depths which makes since but i bet some new formations and plants and some other stuff will be added there too

[summer tiger]

All 9 base biomes are in RC, except ossuary depths

[lyric sapphire]

this ye

[fickle dock]

I sure hope so

[lyric sapphire]

I hope theres gonna be some more meta progression maybe something like weapon masteries from survivor the more you use certain weapon you unlock ability to perma upgrade it, some maybe RNG manipulation like in all roguelikes rerolling upgrade choices etc, but well see ig

[fickle dock]

Would be quite cool

And alt abilities later down the line would be sick too

[left bridge]

i hope they are going to add new Heavy Weapons to RC since the current ones are from DRG ofc after EA launch

[fickle dock]

Like slicer instead of having his plasma sword would get a big ass plasma hammer

[tiny hemlock]

Give Slicer more melees

[fickle dock]

That’s what I’m saying

[tiny hemlock]

Imagine Slicer gets like a sword and shield like melee

[fickle dock]

Or a spear

or, hear me out, gauntlets

[lyric sapphire]

i tried bonker like goofy combo yesterday

[tiny hemlock]

Slicer Trimping should stay in Rogue Core

[lyric sapphire]

had a perk that reduces th power attack cdr on pickaxe after every melee hit on enemy so i would spam drill and bonk them with hammer

but it sucked ass maybe as guardian it would work better

[left bridge]

any predictions on what the 6th class be like?

[tiny hemlock]

Give Slicer a chainsaw-like weapon

[tiny hemlock]

Maybe like a Combat engineer

[fickle dock]

I honestly have no clue

As I was NOT expecting to get protea from Warframe as a class

[lyric sapphire]

oh u mean the falconer ability

[tiny hemlock]

I think people will be making 5 player lobby mods

[left bridge]

and prob will make a mod that makes it possible to play multiple of the same class

[oak shale]

Isn't an option from the host ?

[tiny hemlock]

you can't stack the same class

[summer tiger]

It does sound interesting however, knowing GSG, the abilities will probably stay as they are. They gonna focus on adding other abilities, different from the ones we have.

[summer tiger]

No, devs want to treat RC as "hero shooter" where everyone is different

[tiny hemlock]

Hopefully slicer can get like a chainsaw weapon

[fickle dock]

As in completely changing the core ability to not be in a similar category?

Like slicer getting a non melee ability?

[summer tiger]

I think they won't introduce variations of eg. slicer ability like hammer or spear

[tiny hemlock]

I don't want each class to be a jack of all trades but having abilities and weaknesses makes the class unique

[fickle dock]

I would love some kind of fist weapon, but it probably ain’t happening

[summer tiger]

Slicer will stay the way he is and they will add just more bio booster decks

[tiny hemlock]

give slicer different blades

[summer tiger]

So far they said nothing about classes having some negatives - main gameplay loop revolves around just getting stronger. The only elements giving you negatives are artifacts such as glass cannon. Increases all damage you deal by 150% but you loose 90% health.

[tiny hemlock]

Like DRG, each class have their own weakness when it comes to completing objectives

sometimes you gotta adapt

[lyric sapphire]

Well you adapting the whole run in RC

[sick narwhal]

there's three things you have to adapt to in RC, how do I do the end level event without dying? How do I deal with swarms? How Do I kill the boss?

[summer tiger]

True that, in DRG you can prepare extensively before the mission. In RC preparation is done on the go. You choose which weapon you pick and upgrades you take.

[lyric sapphire]

In solo especially you need to figure out what u want prioritize more

especially once u hit complexity 2-3 facilities

[tiny hemlock]

you gotta adapt and take different approaches in objective with the class and equipment you have

[lyric sapphire]

Same in RC

lets say you dont get drills at all in the weaponry at the beginning of the facility and u gt excavation event

do i spent so much time mining all the fossils out by pickaxe an risk the endless swarm at the end or do i skip it?

[summer tiger]

Yeah, same here. You just lean more into either crow control or single target. Or you upgrade you ability. There's more choices to be made.

[tiny hemlock]

also knowing who should get said upgrades

sometimes such upgrades just works 10 times better in let's say a melee class

[summer tiger]

You can become a sed sugar printer, you can stun lock enemies, you can just mop enemies with fire build or just go with big crits

[tiny hemlock]

or be a human bait with Retcon's ability or kill two birds with one stone by using her ability

aka doing two task after the other in short amount of time

My god Retcon might be the most appealling class for me

god my hand is itching to play Rogue Core

[fickle dock]

Just 5 days left

[tiny hemlock]

can't may 20 come any sooner?

[lyric sapphire]

Meanwhile me farming merits rn so ican play slicer at depth 4

[summer tiger]

That is one of the strategies with retcon. There are certain upgrades that after you receive 50 health damage you deal a lot of AOE damage around you. Damage and AOE stack so you can clear hodes by just standing there. And you will fill rage meter quicker

[fickle dock]

You can knock yourself out everyday and it’ll come sooner

[lyric sapphire]

who would want to work in this facility https://imgur.com/a/0820Z0C

[summer tiger]

So as I was saying - I don't think devs will introduce "alternative" abilities for the classes we already have. Guardian can do two thing with his ability but that's about it. Other classes will stay the same. But that's just guessing based on what they did in DRG. I might be wrong.

[tiny hemlock]

Retcon can clutch heal, Guardian can do the Gunner shield heal strat

Falcon can heal from afar

[lyric sapphire]

it does has fairly long cdr but she can

it def will be used a lot in pubs cause the corespawns can overwhelm ppl fairly quickly

[tiny hemlock]

huge clutch tbh

she can be a game changer even if all her teammates are down

just need to prioritize who to save first

[summer tiger]

Mind you, ranged enemies are a threat to guardian when he's reviving

Of the problem is no more when you get gunner's bubble shield

[lyric sapphire]

the funny walking ranged enemies with glowing tips

idk i njoy slicer the most has some free benefits from upgrades cause of his melee abiity and also the movement ability

i hope they dont patch how it interacts with slopes etc

[tiny hemlock]

They need to keep Slicer Trimping

[tiny hemlock]

Slicer is made for Demoknight mains

[lyric sapphire]

i havent played demoknight ever

i just grow up playing cs 1.6 and all valve games so i enjoy any movement techs like that

[lyric sapphire]

i did spent quite some time of soldier rocket jumping tho

DRG can we have pgl fat boy?
we got pgl fat boy at home
pgl fat boy at home: https://imgur.com/a/RB4G9oY

[boreal plume]

That's rad bro

[boreal plume]

Same

[tacit urchin]

There's a second hand

[boreal plume]

I'm going to open both DRG and Rogue Core and play them on 2 monitors

And I will have Survivor open on my phone

It's going to look like those chinese bot farms

[formal magnet]

Min max XP grinding

Rogue core tomorrow

Is progress getting wiped when the game launches into early access? #

[tired magnet]

I know there can be a case for "git gud" and all, but sadly I think I'll have to pass on Rogue Core for now. I've done a number of runs, and whilst at times it's been fun, I find even at the lowest difficulty I am overwhelmed by enemies, lack of ammo and feel too rushed (which I do understand they want a faster-paced experience) and sadly for me it's just more of a frustrating experience than fun right now. I'll be sure to keep an eye out on the game and how it progresses, I appreciate being able to try the alpha, cheers!

[boreal plume]

Yes it will be wiped once early access begins

[pallid beacon]

transforms into driller

king of literally everything, everywhere, all the time

ROGUE CORE TOMORROW

[pallid beacon]

We gotta get solarlight on slicer stat

bro will somehow optimize the movement even further

[formal magnet]

have you played the most recent update? they made D1 and 2 easier

[tired magnet]

Yeah, I just jumped off. I have an alright time getting to the boss, but at that stage I'm just overwhelmed with enemies and running out of ammo. It's probably just not for me sadly, but as said I'll follow the development and see how it goes 🙂

[lunar rapids]

What is "health regen threshold"?

[formal magnet]

ah fairs

[formal magnet]

the max hp you will passively regenerate to when low

[mortal topaz]

A bit confused, isn't it still 5 days? The playtest is here and I bet most got an invitation... but a bit too late. Game is so close and would rather have a completely fresh experience for it.

[lunar rapids]

Is this version of the game that we are playing rn, the same as the one well be playing in 5 days?

[mortal topaz]

Honestly no clue, but would be interested too. All I know is that all progress will be reset and it's technically not the same even if everything stays the same

would at very least expect small changes based on testing/feedback

[pallid beacon]

its a joke thats been going on in this chat for months

search "rogue core tomorrow" in the discord search bar and you'll see

[mortal topaz]

oh lol

[pallid beacon]

ppl have been making that joke as old as 2023

holy shit has it really been 3 years?

[mortal topaz]

haven't checked the chat recently, so the game coming out so soon made it look more serious than a joke haha

[pallid beacon]

argh embeds be damned

[lunar rapids]

Is the game going to be paid when it comes in 5 days? Or is it just a fully public playtest?

[pallid beacon]

yeah paid

its early access

[lunar rapids]

Ok, so from that point on, our progress will be permanent i assume.

[pallid beacon]

check the pins if you want to see the price (in the USA)

yeah it will be permanent

[gleaming musk]

rogue core tommorow

[mortal topaz]

yea. Don't think DRG ever got progress reset even when they made changes to some systems

[pallid beacon]

they said it wont be reset once its in early access

before that it was just a beta so like, its fair tbh

[mortal topaz]

The good old days of DRG where basic enemy varity was grunts and elite grunts 😂 (no slasher/guard yet)

Holy... it has been quite while since DRG first launched. 15 February 2019 when first purchased. They've come a long way

[steel sleet]

i made the mistake of watching a little bit of gameplay on youtube and now im literally dying of anticipation again

the female dwarf voice actor is great though i've never actually heard their lines before

[formal magnet]

yh, more or less

[mortal topaz]

Female dwarves are definitely something that were requested for a long time, but unfortunately the 4 character for first game were locked in and would have required retconning to fit them in (or break the balance of 4 classes). No issue with that for DRG:Rogue core since it's a fresh new game

[steel sleet]

after hearing like two voice lines it already felt like they were just always there

i have a tiny personal issue with omega's voice effects though, it feels like there's a low layer missing in there

makes longer lines and enunciated words sound a little bit grating which could get annoying when you hear them for the 50th time

[gleaming musk]

yeah we will probably get more characters down the road in rogue core

cuz the design doesnt rely on the 4 classes being present

[strange ledge]

I haven’t seen any mention of this in the various announcements, but I’d like to know whether the game will be released on Xbox on release and whether it will be cross-platform at launch with Steam version or like DRG like now

[gleaming musk]

this is still early acces so playstaystion def not

[tall plume]

• No crossplatform
• Unknown if it will release on xbox - nor when it will
• Playstation is a no-no until out of EA

[gleaming musk]

as for xbox no info

why does playstation not do ea games anyway

[tall plume]

because Sony doesn't want to

simple as

Sony push down many restrictions for games to be available on their store

[mortal topaz]

honestly, I think that would be a great way to give more reasons to return to play plenty more... but as long as they don't go overboard. 5 is a good start, but if we eventually end up with 10 I would say that is too many

[modest condor]

Do we know the release timing? Like at what daytime Rogue Core will release into EA?

[tall plume]

6pm CET as said on the Steam announcement

[modest condor]

nice! thanks!

[mortal topaz]

Testing: <t:1779292800:R>

[weary meteor]

Just askin does everyone lose their progress each time they open up the playtest?

[mortal topaz]

That the correct time? can anyone say if it's at least in correct language automatically?

Testing: <t:1779292800:F>

that should be 6pm CET in everyone's own timezone

[tall plume]

yep

[weary meteor]

Hey so does this happen to everyone?

[formal magnet]

@lyric sapphire they're going to change the wording of the Falconer upgrade next patch btw

they agreed it was confusing

[lyric sapphire]

good to hear it

[raven valley]

You meant Rogue Core tomorrow, surely

[torpid helm]

I hope its 20 usd, I'm screwed if it's more

[short yacht]

Rog cork tomorrow

[vagrant scaffold]

Does the new wave of invites still let you invite a friend? Because a friend of mine did get in.

[mossy ruin]

no

you could've only done that on the very first wave, and it quickly got disabled

[summer tiger]

Playing with team is much better experience, game is generally build around it.

[summer tiger]

it will be a different title. what we have access to is Rogue Core Playtest

[lyric sapphire]

I had the opposite

i realized that i was never the target audience of DRG difficulty if the devs said in the RC alpha that first runs are supposed to be hard and i was supposed to most likely fail

[weary meteor]

is it a bug that my progress resets each time i launch the game?

[formal magnet]

bug

[lyric sapphire]

glyphid?

[weary meteor]

i thought it was normal till someone told me it wasnt lol

[lyric sapphire]

glyphids in my rogue core?

[weary meteor]

been playing for like a month

[formal magnet]

it should reset once last update due to an error

but not every time you launch

[weary meteor]

yeah each time i launch it does

[tall plume]

I'm wondering if you happened to open it every time there was a reset and it's purely coincidental or it that actually happened as a bug and you opened the game a lot.

[weary meteor]

its happened over 4 times

have to watch the intro and do the tutorial each time too

[tall plume]

how much time passed between each opening ?

[weary meteor]

the last time was a day

yesterday was level 7 on gaurdian and back to zero

[tall plume]

Sounds like a bug and not coincidence then

the folder holding the save files is likely on "read only" and windows is not letting you "modify" it when saving the game - and thus there is no saving

[weary meteor]

aw shit

wish i asked earlier lol.

[tall plume]

on the bright side, Early Access is coming in 5 days, so no more reset after that

[weary meteor]

yeah hopefully it doesnt happen when it comes out lol

[tall plume]

if it happens, it'll be easy to fix

[weary meteor]

yeah thank you for responding

[tall plume]

[deep oracle]

Hello, I wanted to know: Will the progress I made on my account during the alpha tests be reset when the game is released on May 20th?

[mossy ruin]

yes

[deep oracle]

okay thanks

Rogue Core tomorrow in 4 days

rog cor tomrow

[lyric sapphire]

are there triple hp alterations in RC?

Havent seen one yet and theres a directive objective or whatever you call it in the terminal that you get merkit for completing to complete facility with triple hp alteration

[formal magnet]

it got changed to double health

it's still called tripple in a few places

[lyric sapphire]

Guess the mission terminal got updated but not the directive terminal then

for a second i overthinked it and though it meant

double hp alternation+ the risk factor with double hp lmao

[formal magnet]

the alteration used to be 3X health and XP but it was too annoying from what I've heard

considering 3X XP isn't 3X upgrades it makes sense

[boreal plume]

Btw I just realized something after I saw a comment about the narrated trailer. They didn't go into Retcons ability at all and made it look like a basic repositioning ability. The ammo/health/armor/grenade replenishing part was completely skipped, which left someone confused because it looked underwhelming.

Oh lawd it's coming https://youtu.be/iNRxk_gh-NA?is=0X_87KKBLWP0rWIe

They are teasing the soundtrack

[formal magnet]

yh the strongest part of her ability is the ammo save

[high sedge]

IVE BEEN BEGGING for ROUGE core PLAYTEST accessfor YEARS and I NEVER GOT IT. i have1000 HOURS in DRG. WTF MAN

[tall plume]

playtime does not matter for the RNG chances from being picked up

[boreal plume]

I get why Mikkel wanted a lot of drums in the soundtrack

It slaps

[strong salmon]

Are trawlers in rogue core? I feel like I've seen them but maybe its a different kind of enemy

[boreal plume]

The nayaka trawlers?

[strong salmon]

yea

[boreal plume]

I don't think so. They said the only returning enemy are cave leeches

[tall plume]

there's no returning enemies from DRG, except for cave leeches (and I guess Corespawn Crawlers)

[lyric sapphire]

well and stabber vines

[strong salmon]

hell yeah stabber vines

[tall plume]

stabber vines are more of a biome hazard

[strong salmon]

they dont have an hp bar so i dont think they count as an enemy proper

[lyric sapphire]

well technically they do its just hidden

[strong salmon]

im thinking of the rafkan thrasher

looking it up

[formal magnet]

bulk detonator some what returned

not 1:1 but similar

[boreal plume]

Rogue core tommorow

[frank ocean]

My core will Rogue tomorrow

[orchid dagger]

i hope rogue core is gonna get a beastmaster class at some point with domesticated glyphids and other critters from hoxxes. would be super cool.

[raven valley]

Oh, so the Deep Rock's Core Stone fight theme ended up in RC's soundtrack bundle after all
-# or it was a track made for RC and added to DRG in the first place

[frank ocean]

For what in know there will not be glyphids

[orchid dagger]

as enemies. obviously. thats not what im saying though

[frank ocean]

Oh so taking your own ones

[orchid dagger]

ye

[frank ocean]

Thats neat

[orchid dagger]

a reclaimer

would be dope

[frank ocean]

But not bugs allowed in the space rig so i don't know

[formal magnet]

or a tamed steeve with armour

[orchid dagger]

exactly

[orchid dagger]

theyre not on the space rig thoooo so lemme cope

[formal magnet]

maybe the Ramrod has different rules (There is a 0% chance OMEGA is letting anything on his ship)

[frank ocean]

Thats the reason we get the eggs

[tiny hemlock]

being mission control gotta be the most mentally tasking job

[formal magnet]

I hope so

[orchid dagger]

nah that guy at mission control has a cozy job

[formal magnet]

he has to put up with the Dwarves

[tiny hemlock]

cozy although the moment you get attatched to your co-workers and they got killed maybe multiple close calls it's bound to be mentally taxxing

[formal magnet]

In lore most Dwarves die before they reach promotion

[tiny hemlock]

imagine being mission control for the reclaimers with a likely higher fatality rate

[formal magnet]

Mission Control seems to not be assigned to us first based on his promotion Voice lines

[boreal plume]

Did the chicken or the egg come first type situation

[orchid dagger]

the voicelines for the infection season mission were crazy. hearing MC like that made me feel bad

great voicework

[boreal plume]

lorewise mission control wouldn't be able to communicate with the reclaimers after they pass the barrier

[tiny hemlock]

it's not the matter of doing a job, it's the matter of stopping a deadly virus from spreading further in the planet

[boreal plume]

and mission control doesn't care that much about the miners dying, "the drop pod will leave with or without you"

[pallid beacon]

The real question is. If the reason they have OMEGA is that they can't communicate with MC once they're past the gray barrier, why isn't MC the 5th class?

Then he could just go with them, ez

[left bridge]

there are already 5 classes in RC

[orchid dagger]

he very clearly did care when we were down there cleaning up the infection and he announced that we lost several more teams while we were sucesfull.

[tiny hemlock]

imagine Mission control could also be working alongside Omega

[pallid beacon]

its a joke my guy... im saying he shouldve been the 5th...

[boreal plume]

character development over the seasons I guess

[tiny hemlock]

serving as like Dwarf to dwarf communication before they lose comms with him leaving them only with omega

[pallid beacon]

he was also kinda worried during the tutorial if u remember those voicelines

mostly about his job, but a lil about the dwarf

[tall oracle]

bro my little cousin got invited to the closed playtest today and she cant even run it 🥹
At least i ran the game on my pc with her account for a bit

[boreal plume]

It's been 950 hours...

[formal magnet]

imagine your new employee died day one

[left bridge]

him saying it was good knowing ya have fun dying did not sound very worrying tbh

[orchid dagger]

i always thought the with or without you was just a pointed joke to get the dwarves to speed along.

[tiny hemlock]

it's likely in the lore he guided many dwaves but they got killed before being promoted, having to see death 50-50 times

50 dwarves succeeding but at the same time 50 dwarves not making it past

[formal magnet]

yh same, I doubt he'd actually leave us behind

[boreal plume]

On second thought, yeah he does care a lot

some of his promotion voice lines made me tear up back in the day

[digital silo]

Anyone who played the game can tell me how long do missions take? Is it about the same as DRG?

[boreal plume]

It's longer than DRG, people said the time can change from 45 to 75 minutes

you do have the choice to pick shorter missions

[gleaming musk]

The timer for each stage is 10 mins

And its like 5-6 stages each mission

So about an hour

[formal magnet]

timer takes longer than 10 sometimes

[tall oracle]

did anybody else also recieve a playtest invite today? my cousin got one outta nowhere

[formal magnet]

I think the last one was on saturday/sunday depending on time zones

there was an update today though

[tall oracle]

weird

worst part is she cant even run it so she cant even test if she wanted to

at least she gave her account to me for a bit so i can mess around at least

lowkey wished it was on my own account though

[formal magnet]

progress gets wiped anyways

[tall oracle]

thought so

[strong salmon]

I did not get a playtest invite today sadly

[tacit urchin]

There wasn't a wave today

[raven valley]

What are chat's estimates for the first day player count

[tacit urchin]

2 snails and a squirrel

[boreal plume]

I have no idea for day 1 but I do expect it to pass 50k in the first week

[tall oracle]

how so? my cousin got in an email today

[tacit urchin]

Are you sure it was today and not yesterday?

Nvm, timezones

Might be today for some of you

No, wait. It was 1.5 days ago, there is no way

[boreal plume]

yeah was about to say

last wave went out like 40 hours ago

doesn't matter tho, happy for your cousin

[raven valley]

My first guess would be the email getting delayed somehow

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[strong salmon]

itll prolly be like 20k-35k the first week, it is early access after all

[lyric sapphire]

funny hearing that after i just forgot to get to droppod in drg survivor and lost entire run lmao

💀

[strong salmon]

mission control would absolutely leave u behind wtf

[tacit urchin]

Omega would probably just build you a new body and tell you to get to work

[strong salmon]

though then again when we fail a mission our bodies do get recovered, so idk, drg is weird

[boreal plume]

If steamdb charts are accurate, DRG Survivor had an all time high of 56k players on it's early access release date which was the 12th Febuary 2024 I guess. A much larger part of the DRG player base will be interested in GSGs own spin-off, which makes me believe RC will pass 50k. Hopefully the game reaches enough people so that RC can take the spotlight, like Far Far West and Subnautica 2 did (though on a smaller scale probably).

[strong salmon]

idk if theres much overlap between the survivor and the regular drg fanbases is there? autoshooters or whatever theyre called are their own thing

[formal magnet]

I wasn't interested in survivor for a while even though I like DRG a lot, game play was a lot different

[tall plume]

there's some overlap but DRG:S has built its own community

[strong salmon]

unrelated to rc but I simply don't understand the appeal of those kinds of games, but they got their fans and thats that, i just don't know how many DRGS players would be interested in a game like RC lol

[formal magnet]

Idk how many Survivor fans even played DRG, the audience is very varied

RC looks like it'' appeal to a lot more DRG fans since it's a first person shooter even if the gameplay loop is different

[strong salmon]

I think RC would appeal a lot to the ffw crowd though rc on paper looks a lot more difficult than ffw is. Otherwise I can't really think of other games like it. Left 4 Dead maybe?

[gleaming musk]

RC will probably appeal to risk of rain 2 players

[formal magnet]

A lot of my friends never played DRG and are interested in RC since it's a fps rogue lite

[tall plume]

DRG is closer to L4D. RC is more like Gunfire Reborn.

[teal lion]

yeah i usually refer to deep rock galatic as a left 4 dead style game imo , and rogue core is still close enough to those feels

[strong salmon]

never heard of it 😔

[gleaming musk]

risk of rain 2 players?

[formal magnet]

they like a lot of Rogue lites

[tall plume]

that's fine

basically a roguelite with co-op

[strong salmon]

ah

[gleaming musk]

tbh to me rogue core is just risk of rain but designed for co op and not just with co op shoed in

[strong salmon]

I was making the l4d comparison because L4D campaigns are pretty similar in that you build your weaponry throughout the campaign which is multiple levels strung together

[teal lion]

yeah gunfire reborn is fairly good callout for how rogue core is

[gleaming musk]

i was to risk of rain 2 cuz its a also a roguelite shooter (third person tho) where you upgrade during stages and fight a major boss type stage at the end

[teal lion]

just with less upgrades and weapon swaps and relics etc

[gleaming musk]

hovever i like that upgrades are "teamwide"

as in everyone gets them at roughly the same rate

and you cant really hoard all of them

[strong salmon]

I still kinda worry that the upgrade screens will cause toxicity but at the same time the order apparently rotates every time you get an upgrade so you cant really complain if youre fourth in line and don't get anything good, cause you'll be first in line the next upgrade

[gleaming musk]

btw to anyone who actually got to play

are all upgrades like straight buffs or are there some with downsides

[formal magnet]

if you're 4th in line you'll be 3rd in line next but yh it does rotate

[formal magnet]

Artifacts have downsides

[gleaming musk]

i mean its the drg community so im hopefull

[formal magnet]

regular upgrades are buffs

[strong salmon]

oh, wack, i figured it would be the other way around because going 4th to 1st feels better than going 4th to 3rd lol

[gleaming musk]

+according to ppl who actually got to play the playtest toxicity was low

[tacit urchin]

We don't have that many people though

[formal magnet]

it means first goes to 4th rather than 1st going to second though

[gleaming musk]

true

[strong salmon]

at the end of the day if u cant carry the game with zero upgrades its a SKILL issue

[formal magnet]

all the bio boosters and workbenches is personal anyways

[tacit urchin]

And I've def had a few weirdos

[gleaming musk]

i atleast hope there will be like 10 seconds before u can lock in choices so random lobbies will actually discuss

[tacit urchin]

There isn't

[formal magnet]

nah

[gleaming musk]

oh

[strong salmon]

instapick

[gleaming musk]

yeah high difficulties will probably eithier be toxic or played by premade groups only

[formal magnet]

I find Depth 4 has the least toxic players

since anyone up there is good and knows the basics

[gleaming musk]

i mean yeah true]

[strong salmon]

the highest difficulties always got the least toxic players smh

same with haz 5 in drg

[formal magnet]

Haz 5+ and haz 1/2 was chill

[strong salmon]

haz 4 is the trenches and haz 5 is chill

[formal magnet]

H4 was the worst

[gleaming musk]

what i find usually in games is the most toxic difs are the middle of the pack ones

[formal magnet]

yh

[gleaming musk]

bc ppl there are good enough to be toxic but not good enough to actually win lmao

[formal magnet]

xd yh

[strong salmon]

they think theyre good enough*

[formal magnet]

My favourite quote I heard for multiplayer is "the only constant in your games is you"

such a good line to use

[gleaming musk]

tbh im good enough in most co op games i play to win the highest diffs solo

i just play with teammates cuz like

i bought the game to play with ppl lol

[formal magnet]

I find coop more fun

more build variety and more enemies

[gleaming musk]

true

also the feeling of helping a new player (in any co op) clear high diff missions for the first time is like drugs for me

[formal magnet]

Helping new players is harder in RC but still doable

[strong salmon]

coop is more fun than solo because solo has steep downsides with every class in drg that can be filled by the other classes, but solo in RC is probably nicer because you can just address your downsides as you progress through the mission

[gleaming musk]

i mean i still think solo drg is easier than duo drg

imo bosco is worth 2 teammates

[strong salmon]

I never realized how much shit bosco did until I disabled him

man is a goat at trash clearing

[formal magnet]

same for RC

[short yacht]

@boreal plume what the hell bro where did you get RC ost

[gleaming musk]

not even that

i mean he can trivialize like 80% of objectives

[tacit urchin]

There's an OST preview on the GSG channel

[strong salmon]

ore collecting, providing light, freezing breeders, targeting stationaries, his electricity is fuckin nice against rival tech

ore collecting is so huge for bosco lmao

its such a pita with most classes when you dont have him

[short yacht]

ty

[formal magnet]

Cryo Rockets are so broken

[gleaming musk]

also free electricity applying lol

theres a reasons bulks in solo are easy to deal with

[formal magnet]

Stun is strong

[boreal plume]

It's on youtube

[short yacht]

Somehow I missed notif from GSG channel

Unforgivable sin

[tacit urchin]

No forgiving you now

[left bridge]

oh wow the ost can now be whistlisted on steam

and we finally know the name of the core stone theme, The Core Has Gone Rogue

[formal magnet]

I think the core might've gone rogue in this spin off

[boreal plume]

absolute fucking peak

[formal magnet]

the best music isn't even on the youtube post

[left bridge]

and Everybody Fights Nobody Quits theme is so fucking good

Plunge To Perdition is also so good

so many of these soundtracks are 🔥

[boreal plume]

I like them all so much but wish specter station got a little bit more love

[left bridge]

oh the pre alpha teaser song Cosmic Nest

i love how the names of these songs are somewhat similar to the DRG ost names

[boreal plume]

Fire in the Hole is also a banger

[left bridge]

yep

[boreal plume]

and Attack of the Corespawns was the EA release date trailer music

trying to find the closed alpha gameplay trailer soundtrack

[jaunty sparrow]

i didnt notice that they change the steam cover art

[left bridge]

yeah they did

[jaunty sparrow]

so peak

[left bridge]

they also added soundtrack to the DLC section

[jaunty sparrow]

oh man i bet the soundtrack is gonna be banging

[left bridge]

yeah you can listen parts of it at the steam page

i think every song has a part there its not the full version of it but some parts of them are there

[boreal plume]

This one is either not in the soundtrack or it's a part from one of them that's not shown off in the video

[jaunty sparrow]

will there be a separate lfg in this discord for rc or both combined into the same one

rc and drg

[boreal plume]

this server will be drg + rc

[boreal plume]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[jaunty sparrow]

nooooo

[boreal plume]

I liked that one sooo much, made me watch that trailer multiple times. I think that trailer was one of GSGs best, sad to hear the music was cut

[jaunty sparrow]

make a fan made reconstruction

[boreal plume]

but the soundtrack is a banger nonetheless

[olive narwhal]

I wouldn't mind a volume 2 at somepoint but whats present is very nice

[formal magnet]

DRG had 2.1 volumes I think

Journey of the prospector counts as being in volume 2 sometimes

[strong salmon]

damn this soundtrack is a bop

[left bridge]

personally i think RC soundtrack is even better than DRG'S

[sudden coyote]

anvil of ascension is PEAK

[left bridge]

like 90% of the soundtracks are peak

there are a few that dont hit as much but they still fit the theme of the game

[formal magnet]

The new dude making music is really good

[urban field]

Rogue core less than a week away. Yahoo

[hollow bear]

https://klipy.com/gifs/5-days-left-christmas--k01KRPM0MN05K1P53V54Q78BJYT

[left bridge]

The Core Has Gone Rogue, Everybody Fights Nobody Quits, Plunge To Perdition, Cosmic Nest are bangers

[urban field]

The closer we get to the date the longer time becomes

[daring hill]

??? where are you getting these names, only 3 tracks from the soundtrack were in the video

did the full thing get released early??

[left bridge]

if you go to the rogue core steam page there is a page for the soundtrack and you can listen parts of the soundtrack there

[daring hill]

holy shitttttt

why hide 3 more tracks on the store page?

[left bridge]

they are not the full versions but even the small parts of them are absolute 🔥

oh also Ram! and Fire In The Hole are bangers too

[daring hill]

wait oh my god

the closed alpha trailer music really isn't here???

what the fuck that is actually so disappointing

[formal magnet]

nah, it got removed

[daring hill]

not in game, sure fine that sucks ass but sure

but not in the SOUNDTRACK?!

[formal magnet]

sad day

[left bridge]

i think ive heard that soundtrack somewhere on youtube

but still sad that it did not make the cut

i do hope they are going to add it in the future

[daring hill]

yeah theres been an incomplete old upload on youtube for months now

[mellow fjord]

hello

[tulip bough]

did all our progress get wiped

[mellow fjord]

yes, every new playtest round does that unfortunately

[tulip bough]

piss
