rogue-core-chat

[mellow fjord]

but this time the intro cutscene works on my PC

[tulip bough]

it worked for me last time had to sit through it again

[gleaming musk]

btw yall progress gets wiped may 20th

[tulip bough]

mines already all gone

[gleaming musk]

(i dont think theres any more wipes after tho cuz wiping out progress in a paid game would be kinda shitty)

[mossy ruin]

there won't be

[mellow fjord]

I can't load my cloud savefile for some reason

[tardy vale]

will you be able to invite steam friends to play together on early access? me and my gf are very excited for RogueCore so i hope joining steam friends' lobbies will be a thing on early access launch

[mellow fjord]

i guess so, since you can already do that with people that are in the playtest

[formal magnet]

it doesn't it happened once as an update and this time was an accident

you can get your progress back on the save menu in settings, it's on the clourd or at least should be

[mellow fjord]

oh, ok

i've only been there since 2 playtest rounds ago and every subsequent one wiped my progress

[formal magnet]

I think that's the only two wipes they did

[mellow fjord]

it's a shame we can't post images or reactions or anything here

wait i'm in the wrong chats i should be in #discussion-rc-alpha

[gleaming musk]

chat for ppl in the playtest?

[formal magnet]

yh

same thing just alpha

[mellow fjord]

yea

[shy egret]

can we inv friends to the playtest so we can play with them or do we have to wait until official launch? if anyone knows

[carmine zenith]

No

No playtest invites

[shy egret]

okey ty for the reply 🙂

[cerulean spoke]

do we know how much Rogue core will be?

[carmine zenith]

One hundred million dollars

[sweet glade]

I'm predicting $40-60

[jaunty sparrow]

100$, with microtransactions, lootboxes and battle pass

[cerulean shuttle]

what if they did crossovers

albert wesker as a reclaimer

[cobalt ridge]

why would wesker be here

[cerulean shuttle]

idk because it's funny

7 minutes until the elevator arrives

[tulip bough]

you fuckin champion thanks very much

[formal magnet]

He needs funding and DRG got money

[mossy ruin]

hell no

It's 20-25$

[formal magnet]

Devs said roughly the same as DRG at EA which was 23 euros

[tardy vale]

it wont cost anything but you will be forced to drink a bottle of Leaflover beer before being able to access it, if you cant drink the bottle they'll remove the game and DRG from your pc

[steel sleet]

i do wonder how big of a company drg really is

original deep rock made it seem like they're pretty small and just operating at a large scale with help of future technological advancements

[formal magnet]

They can afford to essentially own a planet and pay well enough that people join with the high mortality rate

[steel sleet]

but reclaimers have some really sophisticated stuff

[formal magnet]

Yh

Retcon especially

Without going into rogue core spoilers, stuff like the Heart stone in drg can be used to massively amplify lazers, if Drg is the only one that can supply the resources on hoxxes they can make a fortune

[steel sleet]

when i first saw rogue core screenshots i thought that we'd be playing as some kind of intergalactic military but nope, still just employed by the same company

[formal magnet]

But with better funding

[steel sleet]

drg miners are the amazon warehouse workers of their world

[formal magnet]

They're probably a bit better than Amazon, Drg has toilets for the employees to use

Beats a water bottle

[daring hill]

im still so sad that the ramrod never got the toilets we were promised

we must boycott GSG and not buy rogue core until they add toilets

[steel sleet]

just piss into the power coils

[formal magnet]

There are toilets in the shower room

[steel sleet]

damn they got a shower room?

[tulip blaze]

Who didn’t shower yesterday

[steel sleet]

the only time i've seen the ramrod is sniss's video where it looks like a bald unlit storage space

[formal magnet]

it's improved a lot

it even has a button

[steel sleet]

a button that does what

[tardy vale]

good question, not even OMEGA knows

[steel sleet]

i can feel a community joke brewing

this can't be happening

[formal magnet]

nothing

but you can press it

[steel sleet]

well clearly that's false

all buttons do something

[formal magnet]

OMEGA disabled it

doesn't stop you from using it but I won't spoil that

[warm thicket]

Is it just me or does the Rogue Core trailer narration not suit the vibe of the DRG Universe

[lone kestrel]

is the supporter button in the menu supposed to not work and is just prepared for the release?

[mellow fjord]

i just asked ghost ship games, rogue core will cost 247 dollars without DLC

[steel sleet]

248 dollars with dlc

it costs one dollar to get the gun license so you can shoot in runs

[mellow fjord]

dlc (1 dolar)

[urban field]

Yeh sorta agree, it definitely fits but feels like something is off definitely

Maybe it's the script or tone or something

[warm thicket]

To me it's the overly excited voice with no radio filter

Mission Control sounds like someone who actually works for the company

[urban field]

I mean DRG narrated trailers don't have radio filter either

[warm thicket]

that's true

i suppose im just used to it lol

[urban field]

This is definitely more of a hype for a new game trailer and not a more chill update trailer

[warm thicket]

I hope the actual game is more grimy:--D

[primal bone]

Is there any way to ask a question to the devs? I wanna know if we'll get the keys on official key stores

[warm thicket]

i didn't get the chance to play it yet doe (laptop broke 💔)

[hollow bear]

best bet is to catch them during a stream.

[primal bone]

huh

[hollow bear]

or if you see them in here. which is rare.

[primal bone]

wdym stream

did I miss something

😭

[hollow bear]

they stream a couple times a week, usually answer questions during

[primal bone]

ohhhhhhhhh

you scared me for a sec

thought they were giving keys

[steel sleet]

can the devs accidentally press the invite one more person to the playtest button on their desk so it can land on me please

[mossy ruin]

it's only 5 days

[steel sleet]

i will blow up

[primal bone]

Remember 2020? thats what they said

[steel sleet]

i have 3 days of patience left in me i will die

[jaunty sparrow]

why is retcon the face of rouge core

[steel sleet]

probably because she's the weirdest class conceptually

[strong salmon]

shes basically tracer and tracer is the face of overwatch

shes just an obese scottish woman

[steel sleet]

and a female dwarf which is a cool selling point in comparison to the first game

[formal magnet]

idk on obese, probably fat and muscular

a lot of beer but also a lot of fighting and running

[robust yoke]

she is secretly the long lost sister of scout who's the face of deep rock galactic
they even have a similar hair color

[feral crater]

have they said what time on the 20th it actually launches at?

[vital bear]

who else is playing the alpha

[formal magnet]

quite a lot probably better to check the alpha channels for that

[formal magnet]

6 pm for me, the RC website has a timer that counts down

[vital bear]

where is that

[formal magnet]

#discussion-rc-alpha you need to get a role in game to see it

on the first menu in game there's a button with the discord logo

[vital bear]

thank you

[formal magnet]

no worries

[jaunty sparrow]

the day rc releases i will be playing it all day im not getting up from my chair on jod

[formal magnet]

last episode of the boys on RC release day

[waxen comet]

how much will rogue core cost

[formal magnet]

roughly 23 euros

[steel sleet]

it releases at like 1 am for me but i will be there no matter what

i will be adding money to my steam wallet as my house burns down

[lament anchor]

idk about that

[steel sleet]

why not?

[lament anchor]

dog who cares

[steel sleet]

new face new voice new personality

customization and characterization of the dwarves is a pretty big thing for deep rock

[formal magnet]

a lot of people

I feel Retcon or Slicer has the best poster look

[steel sleet]

i don't think i like the poster look for guardian though

he looks kinda dumb

[formal magnet]

my goat could never look bad

probably since he's just pointing his gun at the ground

[steel sleet]

so does driller to be fair but he kind of has a mole man vibe going on

guardian looks like he doesn't want to be there

[mellow fjord]

my headcannon before rogue core was that female dwarves don't have a sexual dimorphism so they have beards and deep voices too

[steel sleet]

also i always wanted full face mask representation for one of the main guys but he has the same kind of top visor thing as falconer

makes them kind of blend together especially since they're standing next to each other

[formal magnet]

I'm not a huge fan of Guardian's helmet, I much prefer having his hair out

[waxen hamlet]

I don't know how this would work but maybe once per stage you could reroll upgrades and such. Maybe in multiplayer every has to vote to rerroll and decide if it is worth it. Though I do know this would be a lot of work and it would need balancing.

[formal magnet]

I like Slicers helmet a lot

Rerolls would be nice but would have to be balanced a bit, I think once per stage might be a bit too much

[steel sleet]

do different classes have unique cosmetics other than their stock stuff?

[waxen hamlet]

Maybe once per match?

[formal magnet]

they each have a unique head accessory the rest is shared

though currently the cosmetics are limited since it's early on

[steel sleet]

that's cool

[formal magnet]

unlocks are still per character like DRG

[jolly lion]

Anyone looking to play on Playstation?

[formal magnet]

I'm guessing you mean DRG xd

[jolly lion]

Yes

[formal magnet]

this is the spin off game that's about to come out, one channel up is DRG

[jolly lion]

Ok

[steel sleet]

the biggest surprise that rogue core had for me is that dwarves now have faces that actually move and look around

[formal magnet]

it's nice

advantages of a new game

[steel sleet]

they should oversaturate the cosmetic pool with eye colors while they have the chance

[waxen hamlet]

Some of the old weapon have had the appreance slightly changed and their relaods and inspects too. Thats neat.

[steel sleet]

player engagement™

[formal magnet]

every old gun has a new texture at the very least

[steel sleet]

i saw that the revolver has new animations in some of the footage

the stock secondaries in deep rock always felt really stiff animation wise to me

[formal magnet]

I'm hoping the old guns get new animations for inspects

[waxen hamlet]

It helps freshen up the old guns, which is nice.

[formal magnet]

all but 1 of the new guns have cool inspects, a few with multiple

[steel sleet]

going to make sure to hate that gun in advance before i play the game

[waxen hamlet]

Whta gun is it?

[steel sleet]

you're asking me like i have access lol

the extent of my knowledge is a couple youtube videos and the trailers

[waxen hamlet]

Sorry, thought yo had.

[steel sleet]

i wish

[waxen hamlet]

Same

[formal magnet]

it's one of the best new guns as well, has high recoil but a high dps

you'll know it when you see it

[steel sleet]

i'll know before i fire it because i will instantly press r on every new gun i get to see the inspect

[formal magnet]

inspect everything at every chance

[boreal plume]

4 DAYS

[prime ether]

is rogue core only coming to steam? or are there plans to put it in the microsoft store

[jaunty sparrow]

no i think they will put it on epic

soon down the line they will colab with fortnite and add retcon to fortnite

[steel sleet]

i genuinely forgot scout was in fortnite until now

[formal magnet]

They made him tall and non dwarf like

[steel sleet]

he still looks pretty good though

[tall plume]

Only on Steam so far

[jaunty sparrow]

i hope they launch it for ps2, honestly cant wait

[formal magnet]

I can't wait for the floppy disk edition

[solemn citrus]

hey what do you think the pricing would be if, with regional pricing for south asisa

[jaunty sparrow]

and the soundtrack to release on vhs tapes

[solemn citrus]

asia*

[prisma bolt]

I cant Wait for the low End specs mods 🥲

[boreal plume]

I don't know about regional prices but you can check pinned messages for rough estimates

[steel sleet]

i assume that the regional conversion will be the same as normal deep rock's

[solemn citrus]

nice then

[peak sorrel]

Core rogue

Tomorrow

[jaunty sparrow]

Tore Cogue Romorrow

will the game have seasons or updates like early drg, probably too early to ask this tho lol

season 1 rockpox again!!!!

[tall plume]

probably not

[jaunty sparrow]

imagine corespawn with rockpox tho

[boreal plume]

I don't want to

[steel sleet]

roguepox

[jaunty sparrow]

corepox

[steel sleet]

i do want other factions though i like that we have a bunch of species and even a different company in drg

[jaunty sparrow]

id love to see more on rivals

[steel sleet]

seeing what rivals can pull when they actually get serious would be really cool

we've only seen research sites so far

also seeing nothing but little purple ghouls for that long would just be boring

[boreal plume]

I think it already is a thing in the alpha, so you two shouldn't have a problem joining each other through steam as long as both of you have the game

[tardy vale]

okay good

[tardy vale]

we'll def get content updates at least, like Survivor does, plus this is still early access so we'll def be getting more stuff as time goes on

[boreal plume]

I can't choose a favorite, they are all so good. I'm so hyped right now

I don't know why but Dead on Arrival is giving me OG DOOM vibes

probably because of the constant bass (IDK if this is the right term) in the back

Fire in the Hole definitely grips my attention instantly

[jaunty sparrow]

deep rock galactic drilled too deep, now the core has gone rogue, and its up to you to reclaim it

[broken flame]

So what happens for solo players on Falconeer when it comes to the resurrect ability?

[boreal plume]

Nothing, you are essentially 1 ability short compared to the other dwarves. But I've heard the bird itself is pretty strong so maybe it will be fine.

and Mike the lead game designer made a comment about it on Reddit: It's something we agonised over but then descided to tackle this later if it actually turns out to be a problem. Personally I feel Falconeer is still competitive in solo just due to her ability being so easy to maximise and impossible to "waste".

[broken flame]

Gotcha

Ty ❤️

[steel sleet]

the lazy way to "solve" this would probably just be giving your bot an extra revive if you're playing as falconer

[boreal jasper]

The subreddit are being ultra debbie downers on rogue core for some reason

[boreal plume]

reddit being reddit probably

I just looked at it and saw a few screenshots from this chat itself

or the alpha specific channels

[steel sleet]

post me on the drg subreddit i want to be famous

i always notice that with new games there's always a spike of negativity or concerns right before release

probably because people spend a lot of time thinking about it and going through all the announcements and details again

and some people are hit with the uncomfortable realisation that they're not really that into it

[tall plume]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

reminder that the vocal minority is often the loudest

[boreal jasper]

True true

[jaunty sparrow]

Rogue core in 3 tomorrows

[tall plume]

oh yeah, from the guy complaining he was banned unfairly ?

[boreal plume]

yes exactly

I just saw your response too

[tall plume]

I don't think it's gonna go the way he thinks it will.

but oh well

[boreal plume]

I mean yeah, some of those responses were unnecesarily aggressive. I don't know what they were thinking

[tall plume]

🤷‍♂️

[steel sleet]

i had the impression that this server sucked for a long time because i've heard it from a lot of people in steam forums that got banned

[tall plume]

he had been warned about it before too

[steel sleet]

seems pretty chill in here though idk

[tiny oxide]

Are they giving out keys? I see someone streaming on tiktok

[umbral tendon]

Your allowed to stream this game if you say its Alpha footage

[boreal plume]

IMO it's the best place to talk about the game. Lots of hyped people, people making memes including me and talking about the alpha. Hoping we get some fanarts too, really excited about that

[tall plume]

I remember that one person complaining about being unfairly treated because I gave them a timeout with a rule reminder when they broke it.

They left after that timeout and went ahead to complain about "mod abuse".

"mod abuse"

my brother in Karl, I even pointed out which rule you broke.

and it was like a 10min timeout.

[umbral tendon]

I already know what guy your talking about, that guy dserved it

[tall plume]

Some people really think they're hot shit and shouldn't be touched.

[tall plume]

They're not currently giving keys, no.

People could request access to the alpha test for like, a year and a half, some people got and others didn't.

Game is coming out in 4 days now.

[steel sleet]

The only possible complaint i have about this place is that the image restrictions are a little harsh but that faded away when i realised there's 600 thousand people in here

[umbral tendon]

yeah they have image allowance in the more restricted channels

otherwise it would be chaos

[tall plume]

it used to be a lot more free but there was people who abused it

same for gifs

it culminated in some idiots posting discord crashing gifs at the time

and that's when this permission was removed for most people

[boreal plume]

I do think it's good for a server this size. Far Far West server had all image perms and emotes from outside servers enabled and it was basically chaos for a few days. They had to disable it after a while.

One thing I gotta say, thank god none of the channels on the side bar have emojis next to them. The server looks really neat

[glass reef]

i am kinda mad rn ive been hoping for a playtest invite sense before the playtest began and here come my buddy you only just now click the join play test button and insta gets in let that feels a tad unfair

[boreal plume]

Bad luck

[glass reef]

i call bull shit on bad luck

[umbral tendon]

lmao

[boreal plume]

nvm you can go read the last question on the FAQ post

[glass reef]

fuckers

[umbral tendon]

Here we go

[glass reef]

i already crashed out once tonight not again

[steel sleet]

I have a friend that signed up on the second wave, a friend that only found out that there was a play test on the last wave and i literally clicked on the button the exact minute it appeared and none of us got it

If you used us as a testing group you would come to the conclusion that the playtest is not real

[carmine zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-is-real-one-piece-whitebeard-the-one-piece-is-real-can-we-get-much-higher-gif-27138892

[boreal plume]

lmao

[short yacht]

Rogue core tomorrow

[boreal plume]

Does Rogue Core have some kind of point where you can't be kicked from the game anymore? In DRG that point is after the drop pod is called, but there is no drop pod in RC right now. Not that it would matter tho, I'm just curious

[umbral tendon]

Yeah in the ready up screens you cant kick anyone

Interestingly you also can't continue if they dont ready up

[boreal plume]

The ones in between stage?

[umbral tendon]

Yeah

[boreal plume]

Oh interesting, thanks

[umbral tendon]

Unsure it will stay that way but

Thats how it is now

[tall plume]

I'm wondering if it's still killing the game if someone disconnect during the loading.

[umbral tendon]

I feel like it might still be a thing

Had a few cases where someone would attempt to join like 4-5 times unsuccessfully

[steel sleet]

wait does rogue core have late joining for random people?

[umbral tendon]

It does, only on first level though

~First 15 mins

[steel sleet]

makes sense

[umbral tendon]

After that it shows up greyed out in the server browser, as if it was full. It also shows what level the remaining people are currently at

[steel sleet]

it would be funny if you could just load into the end of a run with no guns though

[umbral tendon]

Yeah haha, someone had a bug today where they joined with no guns

Infact if the host doesnt open the gun / grenade crate the joiners wont get that equipment either

[steel sleet]

do late joiners get to pick out of the remaining options that the host didn't pick or do they get their own set?

[boreal plume]

It's completely random what they get afaik

[umbral tendon]

They get a random selection from the remaining equipment

[boreal plume]

Which is something I think should be improved

[steel sleet]

yeah that's kind of strange

[umbral tendon]

Also including the random slot reserved for 4 people, so sometimes they can own something the other players didnt have the option of

[steel sleet]

it should just open them to the two of the selection screens independently

[boreal plume]

I think the problem right now is that since all upgrades are picked on a shared screen and the game is paused for everyone, the devs didn't want to pause the game for everyone else just for one person to pick their stuff. IDK if this is the reason but seems possible. The game should just let you pick stuff in a loading screen before loading into the game itself. Like you can choose a class before joining in DRG, just do the same with equipment this time.

[steel sleet]

yeah that's what im thinking of

[umbral tendon]

Yeah im hoping they have some sort of UI prompt with the same underlying system, you go back to the drone to pick up your stuff ect.

That way you still have the selection friction between your team but without the required group up

[steel sleet]

getting random stuff every time kind of discourages joining other people's games

[umbral tendon]

They always leave me the flare gun

And im happy every time

[shrewd fog]

is it just me or rogue core is significantly harder to run compared to drg?

[umbral tendon]

Thats what they wanted yes

[shrewd fog]

Icic, thanks

[boreal plume]

The hardware requirements are a little bit higher

If that's what you mean

[umbral tendon]

I assumed he meant the diffculty lmao

[shrewd fog]

yep, I was getting constant 190 - 200fps in drg native

[umbral tendon]

Ohhh, yeah it runs a tad slower but

[shrewd fog]

on RC I was getting sub 70 with dlss

[umbral tendon]

Alpha and whatnot

[shrewd fog]

wayy too laggy imo

[umbral tendon]

UE5 takes a bit more to dial in

[shrewd fog]

hope they optimize it further

also we're missing the ragdoll lifetime setting

[steel sleet]

oh man i might have trouble with it then

my card doesn't even support dlss

[shrewd fog]

that kills both fps and visibility

[shrewd fog]

I was genuinely surprised when I boot up to default setting and getting 30fps lol

[steel sleet]

though my pc still clears the recommended specs so i guess they're confident that performance will improve

[umbral tendon]

They are using a custom mesh geometry solution so its hard to say what aspects of optimization they have access to

[steel sleet]

also the recommended specs say "8 MB RAM" instead of "8 GB RAM"

can't believe ghost ship managed to optimize rogue core so much that it's only twice as taxing as doom 1993

[umbral tendon]

Man the memory limitations of the past really put things into perspective sometimes

[cobalt ridge]

They used to be able to do so much, with so little

Now its the other way around

Those were the days

[olive narwhal]

The limitations of the past lead to such substantial work to get things to run on a toaster from 2006

[umbral tendon]

Perhaps gamedev will return to those days with increasing memory restriction

I am already optimizing my project with that in mind

[sly moat]

Hey quick question reclaimers is Rogue core gonna be ready for steam deck cause it's all I have.

[cobalt ridge]

Probably

[sly moat]

Cheers

[olive narwhal]

Some people have been playing it on deck yes

[sly moat]

Excellent

See you all in 4 days

[olive narwhal]

Probably won't run perfectly but you can hope things will improve as EA progresses

[daring hill]

I mean, DRG still isnt deck verified even though AFAIK that is very much feasible

I wouldn't get your hopes up

[olive narwhal]

Only thing holding it back is the text size and UI scaling iirc stuff which I hope RC will atleast address

[daring hill]

@ivory rune can speak more accurately on how rogue core performs on the steam deck

[olive narwhal]

This being for DRGs deck verification in particular

[pallid beacon]

powder that makes you say rogue core tomorrow

man GSG needs to say "sike" and release it 4 days early

a need greater than oxygen on a low O2 mission

[limpid cipher]

copium bro

[pallid beacon]

real

[short yacht]

Rogue core tomorrow

[wary tiger]

the 4 days

before rogue core

[shrewd fog]

question: does equipping multiple perks stack?

[daring hill]

they do yeah

[shrewd fog]

oh boy 12000 ammo minigun here I gooo

[daring hill]

and, if applicable, I think they stack between reclaimers?

but IIRC only the trigger discipline (friendly fire damage reduction both incoming and receiving) did that

and they cut that enhancement

[daring hill]

that is also sadly not possible. equipping all 4 enhancements that increase max ammo only give you +55%

and there is only one other way to increase max ammo: a "skip" upgrade for heavy weapon crates and equipment crates that are found by picking the risk vector they are a part of

[umbral tendon]

Its possible to have 12000 ammo Mini, since there is an upgrade that gives 100%* base ammo per workbench

However the chances of rolling that 5 times back to back is very low

Its probably much easier with a combinition of said ammo skips, ammo perks and upgrades.
(And if you count spotter resupply you practically have a 50% refill on demand)

[lyric sapphire]

2x magazine size on leadstorm goes heavy

free 2k more bullets

[raw ridge]

Gonna rogue my core

[shrewd fog]

stubby is ridiculously overpowered

my goat electric damage

[zenith snow]

This fucking sucks 😭

[shrewd fog]

wot

[zenith snow]

Do like yall get this feeling where 4 days feels like years

I don't mean to come off as rude but yall are having fun when I am just watching yall

It sucks to be unlucky

[steel sleet]

this has been my most anticipated game for the last year

but these 4 days feel like i gotta wait one more year

[shrewd fog]

dawg I just got invitied this week lol

someone leaked the alpha 1 build a while back but it's nothing compared to the current version

[zenith snow]

that is giving me endless pain

i signed up on day 1 man...

its finnee tho

[deep aurora]

me toooo

[zenith snow]

just gotta wait 4 days

[deep aurora]

I'm waiting for years now

fr

Like one year ago I bought my first Pc, switched from console, and all that partially due to Rogue Core

[shrewd fog]

WAIT YOU TELLING ME || that there's voicelines for omega when you block the path of the funny little cleaner robot on Ramrod??? ||

THAT'S SO FUNNY

[deep aurora]

God knows when the console release is...

Do we know yet how much Rc will cost?

[deep aurora]

I wanna experience that too dawg

[zenith snow]

it might be placed in a bundle alongside the original drg

people who owns it gets a discount that way

[deep aurora]

Thats smart

And really nice of Ghost Ship

[shrewd fog]

30$ with Regional Pricing?

my guess it's that

[deep aurora]

Yeah propbaly something like that

Not more than 40 I think, 30 is a good guess

[mossy ruin]

not exactly
but they did say simillar to EA drg, so 20-25$

[icy nebula]

And it might be in a bundle with DRG right

[ivory rune]

It's literally completely fine. People complain about the deck making the screen to small all the time, but I never see it.

[zenith snow]

probbably

[mossy ruin]

sorry, euros, not dollars

[ivory rune]

I love how I'm the first person people think of when talking about playing on steam deck 😂

[lyric sapphire]

Do you guys think theres gonna be a lot of ppl complaining about the difficulty?

[zenith snow]

well?

is it runnable?

[hollow bear]

Yes

[zenith snow]

for sure

[mossy ruin]

"the upgrade system is doo doo, people are stealing from me!!111!"

[boreal plume]

I just think about the 60 days that passed and 4 days doesn't feel like a problem anymore

My friends and family won't be hearing from me anymore after the 20th though

[lyric sapphire]

i mean tbh it is quite a big jump from the coziness of DRG and having ur favorite loadout all the time and the op easily accessible a tools like shields, fears etc

[ivory rune]

Completely runnable. Though some buttons don't work sometimes and require mapping. I'm sure they'll fix it though.

[zenith snow]

but ngl this is why i like rouge core

[ivory rune]

Maybe they already have? Idk.

[zenith snow]

You start with NOTHING

[ivory rune]

I haven't played in a while honestly.

OR

Maybe they haven't fixed the controller controls?

Cuz I feel the controller is all you need.

Cuz I can't throw grenades for some reason.

[zenith snow]

actually

i should ask this

what would you say is a good class to start with in rouge core

[ivory rune]

Ask away.

Hmm

Slicer

Easiest to understand.

Problem is that Slicer is suuuuper popular.

So one might not always get them.

[zenith snow]

i think guardian sounds fun

[lyric sapphire]

the movement on him goes crazy tho

[ivory rune]

Never tried guardian, actually.

But for Slicer, just know that "Big freaking energy sword = enemies go bye bye".

[zenith snow]

i can barely contain my excitement

[lyric sapphire]

ill go do one run rn

cause why not

[ivory rune]

I would play, but I never get the feeling to.

Cuz my steam deck is all the way on the other side of my desk 😭

[wide cairn]

4 days till rogue core 🥳 🥳 🥳
far far west until then

[lyric sapphire]

i still havent farmed enough merits to unlock last tier of enhancments lol

[zenith snow]

can you reset the skill tree?

yknow the perma upgrades inbetween missions?

[lyric sapphire]

didnt see an option to do that

mining crews from DRG, theres work to do https://imgur.com/a/QKrH27r

[zenith snow]

?

uh

whats the image

[boreal plume]

mission control

in rogue core

[zenith snow]

wish i could see him..

-# im british

[lyric sapphire]

did they put id check on imgur too?

[zenith snow]

no

they just revoked access to the website

no option to do an id check

[lyric sapphire]

Could always use tor

[formal magnet]

VPN

[zenith snow]

i could but im lazy atm

i just want to lay down in bed for 4 days straight

waiting

to finally get rouge core

[lyric sapphire]

for some reason my isp has blocked imgur too

but at dns level so it was easily bypassable

[boreal plume]

sorry but you are writing the name of the game wrong, rouge means red

[zenith snow]

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT-

[mossy ruin]

[boreal plume]

😭

[lyric sapphire]

the rougecorn

[boreal plume]

no biggies

[zenith snow]

THERES A EMOJI FOR THIS????

😭

[mossy ruin]

specifically to spite you, yeah

[lyric sapphire]

what

why the fk does slicer still has quote " I hope i brought the right gun for the mission"

bro u butt naked with just a pickaxe

😭

[formal magnet]

The disposable sentry still has all the engi lines about loving the gun and needing help to build it

[boreal plume]

opening the soundtracks steam page and just letting the music play while I'm working

[shrewd fog]

DUDE SAME

I love the mission result OST so bad

goes way too hard

it's called "the age of reclaimers" iirc

[boreal plume]

I'm probably on my 6th listen after it was released

[boreal plume]

yeah that one is really good

[left bridge]

personal favorite is The Core Has Gone Rogue

[boreal plume]

the core stone theme 🔥

[shrewd fog]

🔥

[left bridge]

Everybody Fights Nobody Quits is a banger

Plunge To Perdition too

[lyric sapphire]

lol nice upgrades i got

[left bridge]

there are just so many good ones

[lyric sapphire]

im basically half the time during fight invicible

cause i can spam slicer melee pretty easily and i get immunity to all dmg for 2s when i use class ability

guess its good for waves but ass forthe boss fight itself

[left bridge]

ive noticed that a lot of people focus on upgrades that are good against the waves but suck against the boss

[lyric sapphire]

well this one aint that bad on boss either

cause 2s of invicibility whenever u want if u got ability up is kinda good since the bosses dont really spam attacks

[left bridge]

gootorak does spam a little bit

[dusty trench]

wait are friend invites a thing in rogue core? i read that they toyed with he idea of sending an invite to your friend to join the playtest?

[lyric sapphire]

only during first wave

then they disabled it

[left bridge]

cuz it was not working as intended

[dusty trench]

ohh bruhhh

[lyric sapphire]

ye sad they didnt reenable it

after seeing deadlock have success with it

[dusty trench]

yeah thats really sad

very frustraiting seeing

my other friends get in and im stuck there like oh

[left bridge]

well the feature was in beta during that so it was bound to have bugs like that

[boreal plume]

apparently deadlock is using some kind of different system

[left bridge]

i never got an invite as well and been waiting a year for one but now that RC is only 4 days away im glad that i get to experience the game somewhat blind

[boreal plume]

people had the same discussion a few weeks ago and it was said that deadlocks friend invite thing is different

[lyric sapphire]

rip then

[random drift]

I gotta say the game is already hard and people only make it harder
It's not like they are new because we all are, they are just bad and it really angers me because our loss is not my fault so I can't even do anything about it
Ig I wouldn't be venting about this if my win/lose ratio weren't getting worse and worse the deeper I go
I'm tired boss

[boreal plume]

[left bridge]

i noticed that some of the DRG weapons are missing from RC i assume that they did not get added cuz they are working on modifiers/upgrades to them and possible problem whit balancing?

[boreal plume]

most of drillers weapons aren't in the game

for a reason I constantly forget

[random drift]

Reason is the game will get easy

When you find a crate with gunner's weapons it's mostly smooth sailing from there

[left bridge]

also the crossbow, smart rifle and armskore coil gun but these are unique weapons so i bet they are working on unique modifiers for them or something

[olive narwhal]

Elemental weapons need a rework

[boreal plume]

yeah

[lyric sapphire]

guys dont try to power charge the reaperworm near its spawn point

[olive narwhal]

Outside of playing nice with upgrade systems

[lyric sapphire]

bad idea

lmao

[boreal plume]

did you get insta killed or something

[lyric sapphire]

i got off the animation but it still grabbed me before it flinched from the dmg

somehow cooper saved me before it kileld me

but it could be the run ender

[random drift]

Looking at how they are adding elemental dmg to other weapons I'm afraid driller ones will remain missing from the game

[lyric sapphire]

i had the expenite bulk and im like 2min now on the endless wave, that shit takes so long solo to mine

;-;

[left bridge]

they are prob going to be added after EA launch

[boreal plume]

I heard that freezing it before killing it makes all the expenite drop in chunks, but if you don't have a way to freeze it, good luck

[olive narwhal]

Always a possibility

[olive narwhal]

Yeah it does work like that

Much more time efficient

[mossy ruin]

iirc drills can drill expenite?

so those make things faster too

[formal magnet]

nah same as in DRG

you can mine the wall behind it

[mossy ruin]

hmmm, alright then

[lyric sapphire]

ye u cant drill expenitewith drills

[formal magnet]

you do miss out on some Expenite then but it's a lot faster

[lyric sapphire]

well i failed anyway

wasnt much space to kite there

[formal magnet]

If I have drills I make a long tunnel that connects at both ends and lure it inside

same for the gold bulk in DRG

[olive narwhal]

Can probably make the difference in what you mine with the extra time you are granted

[formal magnet]

you either spend the time mining the XP at the crater or looking around and mining other veins

[lyric sapphire]

i dislike cryo grenades a bit in RC

[formal magnet]

Frost disabling weakpoints is annoying

[lyric sapphire]

their range is so big u can asily freeze urself if ur not careful

but if u find brittle upgrade its nice

[random drift]

I dislike melee
Like why does it have to lock you in some kind of animation restricting your mobility
Melee has good perks but actually fighting with it ugh

[boreal plume]

btw can you damage the elevator generator yourself

or can only core spawn do that

[lyric sapphire]

no

[formal magnet]

wdym animation?

it slows you down when you hit an enemy with a non power attack but you can still just swing once and move

[lyric sapphire]

u can spam fire grenades/plasma etc at the genrator to clear it easily

now im a happy reclaimer

[random drift]

Idk how to explain it like when you hit that combo and it slows you down a lot

[lyric sapphire]

i see drg surveyor drone and i picked the drills

[formal magnet]

yh, melee hits slow you down

[boreal plume]

It's the same in DRG

[random drift]

Yeah but in drg you don't really fight with a pickaxe

I guess it's just me
I love medieval games so seeing melee slowing you down makes my brain explode

[boreal plume]

link your discord in the main menu and give your feedback about it in the alpha channels

the slow down while mining could remain but no slow down for enemy meleeing would be nice, or just remove it altogether for slicer specifically

[random drift]

Yeah I like slicer :)

[lyric sapphire]

@formal magnet btw do u need to create ticket like u do through the ig report system if u send it in the alpha channel?

cause found pretty frustrating bug ppl will most likely encounter

I could just send it through the ingame

[formal magnet]

last time @wheat river said to dm her your steam ID I think or something

[formal magnet]

the in game reporter sends it to the devs, if you can't do it there, the bot in #bug-discussion-alpha lets you create tickets

[lyric sapphire]

i made it through ig report

[boreal saffron]

Guys, does anybody know if GS are actually going to press the Rogue Core soundtrack on vinyl or is it just a photoshopped image in the recent soundtrack video?

https://youtu.be/iNRxk_gh-NA

[hollow bear]

hope they do, but they havent said anything yet

[umbral patrol]

I can’t wait for rogue core

[gleaming musk]

rogue core tommorow

[boreal plume]

I think they will, this was a teaser and they are not only just teasing the music but a vinyl release as well with that image. GSG has also been producing DRG merch in the last years, so a vinyl release is probably coming.

[boreal saffron]

Got it, thanks :3

[tiny hemlock]

hope Rogue core's Battlepass is similar to DRG's

[mossy ruin]

I hope there is no such thing

[tiny hemlock]

I'll make an exception with DRG's battlepass model

compared to other models, DRG's is 1 free and you can return to previous season, there's practically no time limit

you can do it anytime you want

[mossy ruin]

It's not about it being predatory or anything
I just think it makes no sense in a roguelite, and more parallels to drg also I think aren't needed

[tiny hemlock]

ok fair enough

tho what do you think could serve as a better replacement?

[mossy ruin]

idk, get skins for achieveing something

like RoR2 does

and we have the in mission cosmetic crates already

[tiny hemlock]

btw, wouldn't it be funny if DRG has a chance to teleport us to the Ramrod if we drink the wormhole special

[tiny hemlock]

ROR2?

[mossy ruin]

risk of rain 2

[tiny hemlock]

Ohhhh

I get it now

ngl, sounds pretty neat

[gleaming musk]

tbh would be fun

like a slasher skin for beating a stage in under 20 mins or something

[mossy ruin]

you get skins in there for beating certain final bosses at the highest "vanilla" difficulty

[tiny hemlock]

maybe a special blade for slasher

a reward for being good with slasher

[alpine oar]

Woe, file size + 1 gb upon ye

[twin horizon]

Does anyone else think the charm of DRG is lost a bit in rogue core? the announcer especially, the original guy had a lot of character compared to this stuttering darth vader impression

[alpine oar]

Well, he is supposed to be like that to reflect the more serious atmosphere

I haven't heard him myself since I never volunteered for play testing

[twin horizon]

It's not exacly more serious "we did it.. all thanks to me"

Feels very similar in tone

Also for people that have played the latest rogue core playtest, is there no downside to rushing the boss and then just running back through the way you just came while cooper damages the boss and you peacefully loot the rest of the map?

It seems only one or two mobs ever spawn when the game is in boss mode and the boss doesn't really follow you

[gleaming musk]

the game is like 4 gbs

no way the ramrod (with stuff stripped down cuz u dont need copy everything) would be 1gb

[alpine oar]

Rogue core is supposed to be 2x the size of drg

So 6 gb

Would make drg atleast like almost 4 gb depending on how much gets transported over

[twin horizon]

It's using UE5 so much better compression, could end up being 1/4 the actual file size with double the content

[alpine oar]

I see

[gleaming musk]

pretty sure the last stage of the mission is just the boss and you cant backtrack

[tiny hemlock]

for PC game standard especially an FPS like DRG, the file size is pretty reasonable and black magic

[twin horizon]

I just was able to run back through the whole map and do all the objectives while the drones killed the boss

[gleaming musk]

tbf

the arstyle is like 10 polygons

[tiny hemlock]

the fact DRG is like 4 gigs

[twin horizon]

proc gen saves a lot of space

[tiny hemlock]

you don't see alot of game devs optimising games very often

the fact the DRG devs can cram alot of things here and somehow the game size is just 4 gigs

the weapons, the OST

sound files

if this was any other studio, they'd do a bare minimum of content and somehow would require you 100 gigs of storage to play a game with one polygon they call a game

and laying off 50,000 people regardless if it did well or not

out of all GSG's game Rogue core has the biggest storage requirement

[tiny hemlock]

there's pretty much no such thing as getting map knowledge, you'll be learning the terrain on the fly due to how random it is

[twin horizon]

yeah it's great!

[twin horizon]

it is kind of crazy that Risk of rain 2 with all DLCs is still under 3 gig

[tiny hemlock]

if it was made by activision that would be 500 gigs with only one polygon

game optimisation is almost non-existent with trip a games

even during the 2026 Ram Crisis

[twin horizon]

well they are different niches, for example COD does run very well but it has a gigantic file size because of the sheer amount of assets that all have their own 2-4k texture sets. It's a different volume to indie games

[tiny hemlock]

let's count the immersion breaking DLCs

the effects

the extra animation that's supposed to be a "Military" arcade shooter

the fact a huge studio with so many resources to optimise their games, can't even do exactly this

[twin horizon]

again, they have a different goal. Mass appeal and as much money as possible and tie ins to new movies and such

[tiny hemlock]

a well optimised game can get alot of people to play even on mid range rigs\

meaning more money if more are able to play games more than 30 FPS

a game doesn't have to appeal to everyone but make it as playable to many as possible

even those with higher rigs can experience performance issue that's out of their hardware's control

due to badly optimised games

[mossy ruin]

pretty sure such companies think the opposite of what you wrote here
have as many people purchase and not refund, and what happens after that is not an issue if there is no in game monetization

[tiny hemlock]

Publicly traded Corpos wondering why they're losing money after firing 100% of their dev teams to save money

[pallid beacon]

the same ideology is what drives FOMO markets and such

20% of the playerbase is responsible for 80% of revenue, so drive prices up and rotate to create fomo

[boreal plume]

We are so close

[tame halo]

I just hope

That if we get to have something similar to matrix cores in rogue core

That they allow us to do multiple/all crafts at the same time

[formal magnet]

Fast Forge and the mass forge mods were the first mods I got in DRG

Currently matrix cores are not in RC anyways

[summer tiger]

its 3,81 gig now

[polar mural]

how to give an acces to a friend i've just got it and now struggling with finding a link to invitaition

[mossy ruin]

you don't

[polar mural]

?

[mossy ruin]

you can't invite a friend to the playtest

[polar mural]

bruh

[boreal plume]

Can I invite a friend to the playtest if I get picked?

No. At the very start of the Closed Alpha, we did try an experimental Steam feature that allowed for friend invites. But it didn't work consistently, and Steam has since rolled it back. So it's no longer a thing.

[polar mural]

B r u h

[mossy ruin]

it's 3.5 days away anyway

[random drift]

Where is this gauntlet thing I unlocked after promoting a dwarf

[boreal plume]

should be to the right of the drop pod afaik

when you get out of the drop pod

[random drift]

Lemme check

[knotty fiber]

There was a new wave if invites sent out????

[boreal plume]

yes a few days ago

[knotty fiber]

Amazing

Once more

Rng is not on my side

(why the fuck was it left to rng)

[random drift]

You mean like on a mission

Or on a ship

What am I looking for exactly

[boreal plume]

no, it's on the ramrod right next to the drop pod, it should be a terminal with "weekly gauntlet" written on it

I don't know if the layout changed though

[boreal plume]

you can check on this video, he's at the gauntlet and turns toward the drop pod https://youtu.be/OiM1msTduOA?si=1-FUJrP2VOX7xIfM&t=36

[random drift]

Found it

Looks different tho

So thats like a deepdive?

[boreal plume]

I guess they updated the model

[boreal plume]

It's Rogue Core's equivalent I guess, in the sense that it's a weekly mission with different rewards

[random drift]

I think I've found out how the connection bug works

So I just see no servers right

The missions changed like a minute ago

And the server list is working again

I suppose that some time after the mission refresh the game just stops finding servers for me

No idea why

Hope it will get fixed after the release

[formal magnet]

it's by the ascension hall currently

[somber oyster]

we are so close

[waxen hamlet]

I was watching someone play the jumble mode and saw a pair of jetboots? I thought that would be really powerful solo too. Like scouts grappiling hook. Still cool they are in the game though.

[mossy ruin]

I was under the impression that jetboots are just in the equipment crate currently

but don't quote me on that

[formal magnet]

they are but Jumble changes every item spawn

except Workbenches they always give a gun still

[waxen hamlet]

Huh, thats pretty cool.

[boreal plume]

damn my bad then

[cyan moat]

huh, video playing again

[lament anchor]

Why cant I pre order

[boreal plume]

there's no pre order

[mossy ruin]

the game is only 4 GB anyway

[boreal plume]

you will be able to buy the game on the 20th

[cyan moat]

dlc supporter already exists btw

[raven wharf]

Better make sure you buy it early. They may run out of infinitely reproducible digital copies.

Then the game is gone forever

[formal magnet]

pre order had a better use when physical was the main option but steam kinda killed that

not like many games have a good pre order bonus anyways

[boreal plume]

karl reclaimer for premium+ buyers!

[lament anchor]

Wat dat

[boreal plume]

supporter pack from DRG

[somber oyster]

there is going to be more versions, delux and that?

[lament anchor]

Will one make me more muscular

[boreal plume]

no I was only joking

[lament anchor]

Shut up shiro

Alister will it make me buffer

Or take 2 swings off my golf game

I need to know

[formal magnet]

RC will have a supporters pack, not sure if its been confirmed for May 20th but I'm assuming so since it's in game but not purchasable yet

[lament anchor]

Sealo ik you can read bro

Will it do what I want

[formal magnet]

It will encourage you to work out

[lament anchor]

I alr do 🥲

[formal magnet]

work out more in game I meant

[lament anchor]

What the fr*ck

Thats not what I want

Can I kss my homies in game?

[rotund root]

Rogue Core tomorrow in 3 days

[formal magnet]

not without mods

[rotund root]

Day 1 dwarves kissing mod

[formal magnet]

hoping RC gets the mod where you can pet your fellow dwarves

[lament anchor]

Idk if i can purchase anymore im sorry everyone

[formal magnet]

if no one does I will make a thug shaker mod within a week since it's not in RC

[rotund root]

I need them to make every robot pettable

[formal magnet]

It must be done

hopefully

[rotund root]

What i really hope for is an emote wheel in missions

(I never got a test invite so idk what they have in rc rn)

[waxen hamlet]

Will they allow us to pre purchase the game and maybe even pre download it? It would be very rock and stone but very understandable if they don't.

[mossy ruin]

one more infinitely reproducable copy for me to take

[mossy ruin]

it's not happening

[formal magnet]

it's 4gb

[rotund root]

Idc that im unemployed i WILL buy the game day 1

[lament anchor]

Stop my parents still have DSL im basically locked out of work when I visit

Its .5kb per second

[formal magnet]

that's rough buddy

500 bites a second

[mossy ruin]

500 bites a second is quite a lot
you must be a fast eater

[formal magnet]

just over a 2 hour install

could be worse

[lyric sapphire]

meanwhile me having 1000/300 but my nvme and cpu are so old it takes way more than it should to download&install shit on steam

[lament anchor]

I used to go to the gym when I started college to do hw

[vagrant marsh]

Hey everyone!
I requested access to the Rogue Core playtest on Steam and I’m really excited about the game. A friend of mine recently got in, so I was wondering if anyone knows whether new waves of invites are still going out, or if it’s mostly finished for now.

Either way, congrats to the devs — the game looks amazing.
Rock and Stone! ⛏️

[mossy ruin]

I heavily doubt there will be a wave in the coming 3 days

I was surprised at the one 7 days prior too tbh

[tall plume]

the game is out in EA in 3 days

[tame veldt]

Not those jerks at Electro... oh, Early Access. Never mind.

[old owl]

Does Rogue Core have controller support at the moment?

[sage idol]

hmmmmm seems to have encountered a bug?

rogue core, cannot craft an upgrade

[vast pine]

Is there a predicted release date for rogue core or not yet because I was looking in the pin messages and couldn’t find anything

[mossy ruin]

.

1.0 full release is unknown even by the devs

[vast pine]

Fair enough😞

It’s good that they’re taking time, though

[mossy ruin]

the time for adding content has only just begun tbh

[formal magnet]

they're making a roadmap for RC that might have an estimate or at least the goals before 1.0

[formal magnet]

yh

[summer tiger]

Because there was a lot of people requesting access

[old owl]

Nice. Do you know the buttons for character skills? I've been using Steam Input to add some shortcuts to L1 and R1 buttons on DRG, but I'm worried they might conflict with some of the new stuffs on Rogue Core

[summer tiger]

Grappling hook was removed quite early in the playtesting due to the cave structure and general usefullness

[formal magnet]

not sure personally, but the game has key binds for abilities and I assume it's the same for controller

[waxen hamlet]

Yeah I know, but I was curiuos to why jetboots were in. There similar to it. But someone siad it is usually a team find unless jumble.

[old owl]

Gotcha. Just got to see it myself in 3 days and maybe improvise if they do conflict I guess hahah

[tacit urchin]

Q for main, Q+E for ability 1, Q+R for ability 2

[old owl]

What about on gamepad?

[summer tiger]

Jet boots havea longer cooldown and you can't use them without end

[tacit urchin]

Oh

Wait

I think I wrote that somewhere when writing the wiki

[tacit urchin]

[ABILITY] ("Q" by default) button or Right Bumper (RB) on the controller.

[waxen hamlet]

Ok

[old owl]

Augh, it is on R1 huh 😅

[tacit urchin]

As for ability 1 and 2, I can't answer that, but it's probably RB+ whatever's for interaction and reload

[old owl]

Gotcha, thanks 😄

[lime plover]

Hey did the devs say that they will add more classes as the early acces progresses?

[tacit urchin]

Uh... It's probably something they want to do but no, no answer

[lime plover]

Ah thanks

[quaint sinew]

I hope that abilities can be bind on other buttons

[tacit urchin]

You can

[quaint sinew]

Yaaaay

[tacit urchin]

There's ability 1 and ability 2 in the settings

[quaint sinew]

Literally playable

[lyric sapphire]

why would they not put in such basic feature

[boreal jasper]

Yall think we might be able to customize the classes gender in the future?

[tacit urchin]

Doubt it

But eh, it's not like the world's gonna implode if that doesn't happen

[boreal jasper]

I mean i could see it

[tacit urchin]

Me too

[boreal jasper]

The male dwarves mostly all share a model

[tacit urchin]

Female too

[formal magnet]

I could say the same for auto sprint

[quaint sinew]

Idk to be honest, Ultrakill have that thing with arms bind so I thought it would be cool if RC had binds on abilities

And I dont know about it because I don't have RC playtest and my only knowledge is YT gameplay, probably i should've been ask it, instead of wondering

[lyric sapphire]

idk about auto sprint it would be nice to have but toggle sprint missing is kinda meh

[finite karma]

Is Rogue Core mission selection similar to Drg?

[boreal jasper]

So yeah I hope to see it some day

[finite karma]

Or it is just randomly popping up missions?

also like drg

[boreal jasper]

But it would definitely be wicked down the line

[formal magnet]

you get the same kinda terminal as in DRG but you get 4 "depths" (haz level) to pick from and in those there's random missions

there's maybe a dozen or so missions per difficulty with different stuff for variety

[tiny hemlock]

Hope there's more mission types like Rescue missions

Doing series of task to try and locate survivors

Get them to escape pods or something

[formal magnet]

the game could have a lot of mission variety later down the road

I really hope we get an endless mode where you have to hold out as long as possible

[tiny hemlock]

Imagine they add gun Implacements that we can physically control

[tiny hemlock]

Maybe the endless mode could be protecting a specific objective and must not be interrupted as it gathers your reward

[formal magnet]

that could work pretty well

[tiny hemlock]

Then between grace period you can choose to stay longer or you can end the game and extract

[formal magnet]

I wonder how big the modding scene will be for RC, DRG has a decently large one

[tiny hemlock]

I want the creator of the Greblin mission control to come back

Maybe creating one for Rogue core

[tiny hemlock]

Occasionally you get supplies maybe drill drops of guns

[formal magnet]

I haven't tried many DRG mods but the ones I've seen look really good

Hoping RC gets plenty of QoL mods since they were what I used in DRG

RC won't have mod support day 1 sadly but that's not very uncommon for EA games

[boreal jasper]

Do we know exactly what time its gonna release? (Est?)

[left bridge]

Wednesday, May 20th at 18:00 CEST.

[daring hill]

<t:1779292800>

[short yacht]

rogue core tomorrow

[icy nebula]

Im quite surprised they havent announced the final price 3 days in advance

[mossy ruin]

same

[icy nebula]

maybe tomorrow or the day before it actually drops

[left bridge]

they did not announce the price for EA DRG so its more likely that they don't announce anything about the price of RC

[rain pollen]

what do you think the rogue core version of the Richual™️ is gonna be?

[mossy ruin]

in-mission there won't be one, I'm 90% sure of it

overall there is the button

[random drift]

Will the playtest just like delete itself from my library in three days?

I won't have much time to play sadly so I probably won't reach depth 4

But seeing how there are only 3 bosses in the statistics I guess I won't miss a lot

[formal magnet]

not sure but I assume so

you might be able to launch the game through the exe file like with a lot of stuff but it won't get any more updates

[proud finch]

I already see dwarfs launching from rouge core ship

[jaunty sparrow]

3 rogue cores till rogue core

I'll get used to it but I don't like omega but it's fine

[random drift]

I don't like that you need to work out to get beer

[proud finch]

Wait what

[random drift]

Kinda loses those "getting hammered with the boys after a long shift" vibes

[random drift]

You need to play a minigame and lift weights to get beer

[umbral tendon]

What if you got a free beer credit after successfully finishing a mission?

[proud finch]

Damn you deep rock galactic

[umbral tendon]

The way that is is right now sadly doesnt have that same vibe as DRG where the team drinks after a game before leaving

[random drift]

Even for leaflover btw

[proud finch]

[random drift]

I probably will be alone on this one but sometimes the game feels sad and cheap because of all the reused assets

Same beer same guns same voicelines

[umbral tendon]

I dont think I have seen anyone mention that yet so

[oak shale]

Nice performance improvements : I could play on a Steam Deck in 1440p (external screen) at around 40 fps with FSR 3.1 in ultra-performance. And the game still looked great.

[random drift]

It feels like I'm playing a mod and not an actual game

[mossy ruin]

people have been saying that a bunch, but closer to the first alpha footage releases

[oak shale]

many more guns

[umbral tendon]

I am talking about people who have actually played the game though

[oak shale]

same grenades : that is true

I play the alpha since last week. It's great and definitely feels different that DRG. Now DRG feels like vacation. There a voice line in Rogue Core like that

[proud finch]

Are you able to see the space rig from other there?

[formal magnet]

1/3 correct lol

[proud finch]

Wot

[formal magnet]

almost all the voice lines are new, half the guns are new and all the old ones have new textures and upgrades

[proud finch]

Ok so the bears are the same

[umbral tendon]

The are the same in that there is no bears

[formal magnet]

yh

sadly no new beers

[velvet veldt]

new deep dive went to -34332m deep :D, whats the deepest rogue core goes to?

[umbral tendon]

Good question

[formal magnet]

that's like an average RC mission xd

[velvet veldt]

on streams ive only ever seen them go to around -22k

[proud finch]

Anyone know?

[hollow bear]

you can see it from the ramrod, yes

[proud finch]

Ramrod?

[hollow bear]

the Reclaimers' ship

[proud finch]

That what I was talking about

If you were able to see it from over there

Also thanks for awnsering my question

You guys see a dwarf out side space rig

Cause I am outside space rig

[twin horizon]

After playing a few missions, the game isn't very fun to me compared to most roguelikes that I enjoy

Upgrades are kind of lackluster (for example +0.5% ability recharge rate for each electrocuted enemy within 10m. There is never (at least in my hours of playing) a situation where you have more than say 3 enemies in that range and rarely are they all shocked so that's a conditional +1.5% ability recharge rate... super fun!) and repetitive and it feels like I spend way more time slowly walking around and carrying objectives than actually shooting monsters. Less holding E on things for 5 seconds and more fun gameplay please 🙂

I also very much miss the old announcer, the stuttering robot announcer doesn't have nearly as much charm

The good things are the visuals, game audio and the idea. Needs to be more fun to want to replay though

[umbral tendon]

Well you clearly have things figured out then, I find myself constantly being attacked by enemies

[twin horizon]

Maybe 1-2 at a time but rarely more than that within 10m range

[proud finch]

Are there any signs of other enemies like rivals or glyfids?

[formal magnet]

glyphids seem to be dead

[random drift]

"Erm, ackhtually, it's not ALL reused assets there is new stuff as well🤓👆"
Gee, there is new content in a new game? I sure hope that's the case. Doesn't take anything from what I've said though. When half the guns in a game where 80% of the time you are shooting at something are taken from another game that is not a good look in my opinion

[umbral tendon]

Why suddenly hostile?

[proud finch]

Rivals?

[formal magnet]

he lacks the education or the development to formulate a debate

so either a child or stupid

[umbral tendon]

Gotchya

[formal magnet]

after my game I'll write a reply

[random drift]

I guess I should apologize
I just don't like when people start muddying the waters and going into "technicalities" trying to disprove someone's argument that way

I've said that there are same guns and he said that half the guns are new
...so the other half is the same which means I wasn't wrong

[covert light]

@hollow bear

O

[umbral tendon]

Would you prefer if they didn't throw the others in the game?
I actually see the opposite opinion on here most of the time, people want ALL the old weapons in the game

[covert light]

Pretty sure someone is trying to scam in #lfg-steam but don’t worry, I’m unscammable

Nvm it’s gone

[umbral tendon]

Regardless though, its not about your opinion but more about how your unwilling to have a constructive conversation

[covert light]

I heard that in Rogue Core u play as a glyphid

So exciting

[lyric sapphire]

i had deep dive today that went down to -80k

[random drift]

How was I unwilling?
Like look at the lines thing
There are new ones and old ones
And also quite a few lines where "dwarf" is just replaced with "reclaimer"
So "leave no dwarf behind" is now "leave no reclaimer behind". Technically it's a new line so TECHNICALLY he would be correct about saying "Almost all voicelines are new"
But you get what I mean right?
I just wanted honesty that's all

An unaffordable luxury these days apparently

[umbral tendon]

Luckily the audio team that's has been working hard to get all the voice lines configured doesn't have to hear you

If anything there is even more voicelines in RC because they have two voice actors

For the main classes anyways

[formal magnet]

Every line by OMEGA is entirely new and has a whole different sound design than the rest of the game, every specific voicline for the reclaimers regarding new systems such as XP events, new enemies and characters are entirely new. I forgot her name but they even have a new Voice Actor who has recorded female versions of every common voice line and all the new ones. I can see why the voice lines seem recycled being the male reclaimers have the same VA and follow a similar pitch change to DRG with the 3 males having one VA but when you listen to the voice lines in game many are new and not recycled. Whilst I could go through the files and tally up all the new voice lines I don't have the time or energy to currently. I'm not going into "technicalities" to prove a point I'm going off what is the present basis of Rogue Core and it's current game design

Valid criticism is good as nothing is perfect but saying what I see as a miss-interpretation of how game development is as criticism doesn't help the devs help the game grow or provide pros and cons of the game, there's many things I think RC falls short or lacks in but I still see it as a solid product and a very fun game at that.

[formal magnet]

repeating my response in a nerd way doesn't make my argument seem less valid it just makes you seem more feeble and unable to take criticism to a point of discussion, though apologise if I misinterpreted what you meant

[strange harbor]

Hello my friends, is it here where I can get a team to test rogue core?

[umbral tendon]

lfg-alpha

[strange harbor]

I see, thank you good sir

[raven wharf]

This channel is the marginally better #drg-chat

All the alpha testing channels are were the cool kids hang out

[random drift]

I will also apologize for getting snarky and state as I've failed to do so before that I obviously see a lot of new stuff but I think that you'd agree that in gaming community asset reuse is generally frowned upon because in almost all cases it means cheapness and laziness so it's hard to go away from that belief.
And when I saw some slicer guy talking like scout wieling a shotgun, zipline and c4, that mush jumbled my brain and forged an image of some quick made thingie boosted by the legacy of a game I really love
The overall quality of the game as a roguelike also didn't help to form a positive image because I've played a lot of such games and right now compared to them the RC gameplay doesn't look... stellar
But that is my personal opinion and right now I also don't have the energy to discuss this as well

[formal magnet]

A lot of the basic voice lines got copied over which is eh to me but I get your point

[modest condor]

Makes sense, I personally like old weapons being carried over

[formal magnet]

I do still think the majority of the voice lines are new but stuff like all the generic pointer voice lines, rock n stone, and the funny ones staying do seems recycled with how often you hear them

[formal magnet]

Currently it's about 50/50 which I think is a good mix, it makes sense for some of the guns to stay since it's all looted from DRG sites and it helps make the game feel easier to get into for DRG players

also just saves the devs time

[modest condor]

yeah + even if they made new shotguns for example, some would most likely just feel very similar to the warthog or booomstick anyway

[formal magnet]

There's many types of shotguns the devs could add still but a double barrel will almost always feel like the boomstick since it's just a double barrel

[modest condor]

yeah just saying there would be overlap anyway, so might as well keep some weapons

[formal magnet]

yh

[tacit urchin]

Lever-action shotgun when

[steel sleet]

they're obligated to add a pump shotgun because there's no overclocks in this one

[tacit urchin]

(lever-action anything tbf)

[formal magnet]

I want a Dragon's breath shotgun as a new gun

[steel sleet]

i can't live without my warthog pump

[formal magnet]

I'd kill for a lever action rifle

Warthog feels kinda bad in RC without any of the OC or upgrades

I'm so used to it being a slow firing 1 hit or a fast firing high ammo gun

[steel sleet]

still a shotgun so im gonna pick it every time i have the chance

i am a walking long distance meat grinder

[tacit urchin]

You should probably pick DB instead ngl

Shit tonne more combos with it

[formal magnet]

Boomstick is amazing

only reason I get close to Boss 3 is when I have it

[tacit urchin]

I had an insane combo with it and I still wanna get it again

[steel sleet]

i still haven't seen what the new reload on the boomstick looks like if there is one

deciding factor right there

[tacit urchin]

There's a new one

[formal magnet]

yh

||it reloads 1 shell if it's missing only 1 ammo||

and it looks a bit better in general

[umbral tendon]

Holding out for a Heavy Weapon shotgun

[formal magnet]

Single Barrel shotgun

not a regular one but a double barrel with one side removed to stores extra gun

[buoyant totem]

That reminds me of the break open shotguns that had an autoloader on the side

[formal magnet]

I googled what they were and damm they look nice

[umbral tendon]

Lever Action shotgun would be pretty badass in RC

With the fancy spinning cycle animations ofc

[formal magnet]

Have the shotgun have a slow fire rate since you do the terminator reload with it, where you spin the gun 360 to pull the level

I hope GSG go crazy with the weapon inspects

Decker having a basic one makes me sad

[glass reef]

having done a small amount of thinking ive come to realize rouge core is proably gonna drop at like 4am my time (est)

[zinc falcon]

Do any of the playtest gamers know how well Rogue Core will play if your internet is bad
I have found that regular DRG plays remarkably well off a mobile hotspot so I am wondering if RC will carry forward that if anyone has given it a try

[formal magnet]

Depends how bad the internet is

not the best answer but it's hard to quantify bad internet

[zinc falcon]

I suppose a measure for my situation would be if the game is playable at 100-300 ping

[cursive agate]

Is RC going to be console supported

[formal magnet]

anything below 200 I find playable

above 200 physics and enemy hit reg gets funky

though some stuff like drills start to feel less responsive above 100 ping it doesn't effect killing enemies or movement much so I find it fine

[glass reef]

atm moment of early access? no. when we get close to 1.0? a high most likely

[cursive agate]

Yeyeyeyeyey

[glass reef]

id say most likey at 1.0

[formal magnet]

it'll hopefully be on the roadmap

I'd assume last gen won't be supported but who knows

[tardy vale]

why have a roadmap when you can drop stuff out of nowhere to surprise players

[boreal plume]

3 days left!!!

[delicate grail]

Can you believe it guys?
