drg-chat

[tepid stream]

can someone explain what to do in the new core corruption event? i cant damage the core stone. the event is not explained anywhere properly, as in what needs to be done

[true arch]

Is the warning gonna be temporary or remain after the assignment ends?

[hollow fox]

i wonder how old each dwarf is

[slow musk]

you need to break the stone that looks like the real core stone it does a shield for the stone

[chrome horizon]

Sludge driller is eating good

[plain vessel]

indeed he is

[tight vine]

I am wondering this aswell

[teal flume]

Driller sounds the oldest and scout the youngest.

I'll say that.

[slow musk]

all i know it makes me think of a mod

[random mortar]

they should rework perks

some are just useless

[plain vessel]

one day

[random mortar]

and some are like really strong to the point where people are just used to always having them

[true arch]

cough cough, iron will and dash

[random mortar]

i don't know how i should feel about iron will

on one hand it's way too strong

on the other it's too iconic to just nerf into oblivion

[slow musk]

i think it was called massive content revise but im not sure

[plain vessel]

you probably shouldn't mention mods in this chat
but you are correct

[true arch]

I wouldn't say its too strong tbh. Its more like the other active perks just fail in comparison

Like heightened senses is too situational (only really taken when you see pitjaw/cave leech cluster warning)

[vocal nacelle]

you already have the nerfed-into-oblivion version of it

[wind lintel]

The new event is so cool wtf I love it
The way it changes the look of the cavern around it is so cool

[plain vessel]

remind me what was the cooldown?

[chrome horizon]

It's so smart to start the core stone after we popped like 2 eggs

[faint bison]

Happy to hear that!

[vocal nacelle]

40 or 45s 😂

the perk could be changed again tbh

[velvet trail]

are the core spawn just naturally spawning with the new warning?

[slow musk]

i agree i though it would just a normal core spawn event i was surprised

[wind lintel]

absolutely can't wait to finally get my hands on Rogue Core for the very first time I haven't spoiled myself anything about the game nor watched any content about it
Only context I know about the game are the official trailers

[toxic zephyr]

to be frank, i don't know if it's possible to have a better perk than one that lets you cheat death
having a second chance to live again, without needing anyone to revive you, is literally always useful

[plain vessel]

well, not always
you could just not die

[velvet trail]

I know everything about the game and I also can't wait to get my hands on it

but going in unspoiled will be amazing, happy for you

[tender river]

It's a very good safety net

But it won't do anything if you never die

[toxic zephyr]

the problem with saying that in a game where spawns, caves, and events are quite random is you can't always stay on top of every situation

[tender river]

That's why you would want the safety net

[toxic zephyr]

there are plenty of games where building up one's skill to the point of not needing a safety net is not only possible but expected
i really do not think DRG is one of those

[tender river]

I'm not disagreeing with that it's very good

[toxic zephyr]

you're fine, i'm just commenting on the "you could just not die" advice

[uneven vale]

just don't die I agree

[plain vessel]

idk, in normal haz 5, or ME2, I don't use my iron will in 95% of games
I really should just switch honestly
and there are many players like that

[tender river]

I rarely ever end up needing it

[proper pulsar]

There's a glowing line that leads from the big stone to a smaller stone. Break that one open, and the big stone will open up for damage

[chrome horizon]

Yep don't die to someone popping corestone after we popped 2 eggs

[tender river]

But when I do, then it REALLY saves me

[uneven vale]

hardly a threat brah it's 2 eggs

[toxic zephyr]

what we have here is a safety net that is useful at all skill levels

[chrome horizon]

Overconfident is not good

[toxic zephyr]

and that can even be intentionally exploited for advanced strategy

because again
you're cheating death

[uneven vale]

exploited...

guh

[tender river]

It's why I always run it

[uneven vale]

it's an in game mechanic 😭

[tender river]

I almost never need it

But having it just incase, is alway worth it for me

[tepid stream]

lol the first round i did was so messy (the map) i couldnt see it but thanks

[uneven vale]

team wipe -> will and revive gunner -> shield -> get hp (vampire or resup) -> clear -> move on

literally the purpose of iron will

[tepid stream]

got it, i managed to finish without seeing the line, but ill keep a lookout for it, thanks!

[jovial pebble]

i could never use iw. makes me feel like a sore loser

[uneven vale]

👍

[jovial pebble]

i'm sorry but that smells like passive aggressive

[uneven vale]

it's an emoji

[tender river]

Good for you

[uneven vale]

idrc how you take it

[mortal shadow]

hey guys im on mint and drg wont launch how do I get it to launch what proton do I use

[jovial pebble]

wow

you're just cold

[uneven vale]

okay

[tender river]

What else do you want to hear?

[torpid prawn]

Holy shit the new objective is so fucking cool

[tender river]

IKR

It looks sick

[uneven vale]

I haven't seen it yet

but I do need the pick

[torpid prawn]

I love the constant sound pulse of the core stone summoning crawlers

[tender river]

It's what I wish season 5 had been

[plain vessel]

waiting for the lorem ipsum patch (also getting back from uni)

[cursive glade]

wdym they added a new mission type

[torpid prawn]

lorem ipsum jumpscare

[chrome horizon]

Modifier*

[tender river]

Literally gave me chills first time I heard it

[cursive glade]

🤯

[torpid prawn]

Secondary objective similar to litho outbreak

You need to neutralize a greater core stone

[tender river]

Just a mutator

[sterile olive]

Kinda wish you got to collect the Core Stone

[lavish flower]

Clutching up and saving a mission isn’t losing or sore

[torpid prawn]

Also kinda wished that the core stone pre-fight wasn't standing there so stiff lol

[chrome horizon]

I haven't seen a single r on this event, people just pop it whenever they want

[jovial pebble]

something that doesn't sound outwardly dismissive

[mortal shadow]

it work

[torpid prawn]

I mean it may be triggered by accident or smth but at least the event doesn't cause an immediate huge horde of crawlers like the classic core stone

[tender river]

You're quite a bit better them me if you don't like the safety net

[tight vine]

I need to get home to check out this updt 😭

[tender river]

So I'm impressed

[tender river]

You really should

[torpid prawn]

Also the core stone theme was updated yet again

To the rogue core version

[uneven vale]

woa

[jovial pebble]

i think without iron will equipped you'd have more incentive to improve; when you can't just have a second chance that forgives you for a lethal mistake

[uneven vale]

I have it on cuz I just don't switch off the same perks on every class

[uneven vale]

the FM sitting in my scout loadouts when I mostly play solo: 😶‍🌫️

[swift lantern]

Iron Will is for the most dire of situation, equipping a different perk that also provides survivablity can allow you to avoid dire situations/escape them, and provide some value elsewhere

[tender river]

Not having it stresses me out, the thought that a single mistake can make me fail is what makes me take it, even though I don't need it

[chrome horizon]

Not even korlok had this amount of accident but no I know people just start it without R

[swift lantern]

Some people like safety nets

that's why they're made

[uneven vale]

nothing wrong with taking iw

and not taking it

some people that are horrible still die after iw

[obsidian coral]

like me

[tender river]

Or unlucky at times

[torpid prawn]

I mean fair "NEW EVENT THING MUST DO NOW" mentality when something is new

[uneven vale]

i.e. not getting resup, vampire proc, or making the same mistake that let them burn iw in the first place

which is fine ig, everyone learns

[tender river]

Getting grabbed by a stingtale just isn't fair sometimes

[uneven vale]

think of it this way

your bar for improvement could just be your frequency of using iron will across dozens of missions

[torpid prawn]

Also tbf I wasn't expecting a boss itself and thought it was going to be similar to the lithoutbreak

[uneven vale]

activating it less over time means you're committing lesser mistakes and potentially only using it for unlucky situations

or an actual step up in difficulty

like more players adding to scaling or 5 and 5+

and beyond

[chrome horizon]

Fr man, the terrains have been really rough too

[uneven vale]

when you burn iron will you don't have it anymore, then the fear of no safety net sets in then you realize you have to do so much better to bring it home

[tender river]

The last time I used it, was because I was in a misson that felt like ||haz6x2||

[earnest saffron]

new event crashed me

🫠

[tender river]

And I was using a casual build

[hollow scroll]

The issue is that there are very few other active perks strong enough to actually prevent you from entering that situation in the first place; the only real one is Dash but that's already hard meta and you have two active perk slots so it's in the loadout anyway. Heightened Senses is also a contender if you're comfortable enough in the difficulty to not need Iron Will and just want to improve pacing by not having to think about leeches or similar things. With Iron Will, if you get into a situation where you need to Iron Will, chances are that literally no other perk (besides Dash but if you got into this situation it was probably on cooldown) would have saved you and thus Iron Will is the only perk that can.

[random delta]

?

[swift lantern]

Very true, some of the strongest perks in the game are only the strongest because there are no other options

[earnest saffron]

Crashed, the game

[uneven vale]

by virtue of how weak the other options are and how strong that option is*

rebalance should focus on perk competitiveness, like I'd want a "fuck I can only take a few of these equally good perks"

[earnest saffron]

i really wish they'd lower the freeze ceiling for pitjaws

[cursive glade]

Is there is any super lime color for gunner's armor paintjob

[earnest saffron]

plastic coating?

i think

[tender river]

They should also buff "It's a bug thing"

[hollow scroll]

I don't think there's a true lime green paintjob off the top of my head. The closest might be Plastic Coating but it's more of a neon green. But I can double check the paintjobs.

[tender river]

Like make them drop more resources

[plain vessel]

I think a resource magnet would already be plenty

for a it's a bug thing buff

[teal flume]

Do you get extra credits and XP if you deposit more than the required amount for secondary objectives?

[plain vessel]

only a little bit of exp

negligible emounts

[tender river]

This could also be a good idea

[random delta]

Oh there's a new mutator

I hope we get to keep it after the update

[tender river]

Or a chance to create a tamed lootbug, that collects recourses for you

And is like, 5 times as fast

[plain vessel]

I mean, technically all lootbugs collect resources already

[chrome horizon]

We were so close to getting an actual corestone boss fight

[muted thicket]

holdup so we get female dwarves in rogue core??

[proper pulsar]

My uneducated guess is that it'll be limited to this assignment, and then we'll have it back with an update/season/maintenance patch/whatever

[torpid prawn]

Yes

[tender river]

I mean that it would take the recourses to molly for you

[muted thicket]

they gonna have beards?

[plain vessel]

if so, then that would be quite big

[torpid prawn]

YES!

[proper pulsar]

Already do

[polar isle]

the average idea in the #suggestions channel

[muted thicket]

:O

🥳

[torpid prawn]

You can have bearded women in your game

[tender river]

I just want the perk to be unironicaly good

[hollow scroll]

I looked through every paintjob and the most lime one in my opinion is Streamsuit 5000 for Gunner. Good luck getting that, though. The next two are Plastic Coating (Season 2 level 26) and Splattered (Lost Packs).

[hard plinth]

aaannnd blam got new pickaxe

[polar isle]

it's a bug thing doesn't need to be good, it's a silly perk and doesn't need to be more than that

[tender river]

It's silly, so I want people to want the silly

[polar isle]

enough people already want it

[tender river]

Like meta slaves

[polar isle]

good luck with that one

[plain vessel]

hissss
you will have to pry resupplier from my cold dead hands

[tender river]

Specifically meta slaves

[willow kiln]

Yeah but the existence of Beast Master proves that you can make perks that are both silly and not utterly useless

[hollow scroll]

The funny thing is I don't even consider It's A Bug Thing to be among the bottom 3 worst perks in the game (though depending on loadout I can see it being bottom 3). Like it's bad but there are even worse.

[polar isle]

that isn't even true

beast master is only a silly perk

its existence proves you cant do both

[hollow scroll]

Well, Beast Master is quite bad. Like 3rd worst active maybe.

[teal flume]

Why are some Deep Dives greyed out even though they have open slots?

Already started?

[plain vessel]

yeah

[hollow scroll]

Probably

[fair spindle]

yes

[slim stirrup]

Steeves provide morale support, though

[willow kiln]

Notably better than Bug Thing

[topaz crown]

@polar isle Take them to the swarmer chamber for this bad take.

[chrome horizon]

One bug when the enemies got an infinite amount of bugs, yeah it's quite bad

[hollow scroll]

Active perks in general are stronger than passives so that doesn't mean anything.

[polar isle]

I didn't evem know we had a swarmer chamber

[fair spindle]

holy shit we got a cant believe its not rogue core modifier

[hollow scroll]

When talking about how bad a perk is you have to talk about it relative to its competition, ie only the other passives if talking about a passive perk or only the actives if talking about an active.

[willow kiln]

While that's fair, biggest reason to not bring Beast Master is because there are like 3 must-have actives.

[jovial pebble]

i think thorns is in a good place. not having to constantly divert my attention towards a meaningless single swarmer is valuable to me

[willow kiln]

Meanwhile you don't bring Bug Thing because it's quite literally useless

[hollow scroll]

If Dash, Iron Will, and Field Medic were completely erased from the game, Beast Master would still not be good.

[fair spindle]

nah

funi

[topaz crown]

It's by the Lootbug Chamber, Deck 3, Just past the Error Cube Compression Room, If you hit the room with the golden statue of steeve you've gone too far.

[polar isle]

no it is not, it shouldn't have been nerfed as hard as it did

[hollow scroll]

You'd just run Shield Link Heightened Senses instead

[hidden hemlock]

why did gsg just casually drop a banger core spawn modifier and not even mention anything at all about it???

[willow kiln]

They did

[fair spindle]

there was an annoucement like 2 hours ago

[polar isle]

you're gonna have to show me around sometime getting lost around here

[hollow scroll]

It's the most mid passive. If you ranked every passive on an ordered list, Thorns would be right in the middle. It could stand to be a bit better to at least be more on par with Elemental Insulation, Unstoppable, and Sweet Tooth.

[willow kiln]

There was a Discord ping and a Steam announcement

[hidden hemlock]

no i mean i see the new assignment and pickaxe but i don't see anything about the new modifier

[slim stirrup]

But they also added it to the modifier list

You can look in the miner's manual to find it there

[tender river]

It is a mutatior

[willow kiln]

I wonder if this event was made by GSG or IW

[chrome horizon]

Thorns is such a noob trap

[willow kiln]

I mean like the warning itself

[mortal palm]

is the third stage of the core stone fight any different to the first two?

[tender river]

@slim stirrup, I ment as in, they added it to the list because it's a part of the game

[mortal palm]

weird, because i can't find the third pillar anywhere

[vocal nacelle]

by IW, GSG is working exclusively on RC right now

[mortal palm]

there doesn't seem to be a ray from the core stone to the pillar either

[slim stirrup]

Just follow the easily missable pink beam

Then search better, or look around frantically whenever you get to the next stage

[chrome horizon]

Might be in a whole new section. How bad is the terrain

[plain vessel]

do you happen to know whether the warning is to stay?

[vocal nacelle]

no idea

[slim stirrup]

I mean, you get the perk stars for beating missions with it on, so I think so?

[mortal palm]

pretty fucky, but i also explored the whole map before starting the event as well

[plain vessel]

oh, good to know that it has milestones

[chrome horizon]

Unlucky spot

[open cape]

so whats the operation rogue core thing about? got into the game but didnt notice anything different....

[slim stirrup]

You get a snazzy pickaxe if you complete the new assignment

[clever falcon]

when new miner? new weapons?

[chrome horizon]

When you're 60s

[tender river]

Probably never a new miner

[fickle pivot]

There are perk point rewards for it in the KPI terminal so my guess is it's here to stay.

[vocal nacelle]

when new miner
never

new weapons
not for quite some time, if ever

[clever falcon]

lame

[plain vessel]

long time no see

[hollow fox]

i wonder what role karl used to be

[tender river]

I'm mostly excited for when we get new oc

[fickle pivot]

A lot has happened, and by a lot I mean 1,333 h in HD2.

[plain vessel]

makes sense

[polar isle]

sorry that happened to you

[open cape]

would love to see new oc, or new threat levels that tweak mission difficulties a bit

[vocal nacelle]

🆗

[wind owl]

Anyone else complete the new assignment and not get anything?

[fickle pivot]

Gotta try something new every now and then. I have already mastered this game on everything vanilla.

[plain vessel]

scout, source: trust me
"rumor says it's one of those tentacle things that got karl"

[cursive glade]

Is it just me or Mission Control's voice acting for the new content sounds... odd

[velvet trail]

Well I got a promotion voice line so that was definitely odd

but I haven't done the assignments yet

[polar isle]

I mean yeah of course, just kinda funny to come in with that many hours and knowing you know what's going on with HD2 and AH

[brittle epoch]

yeah it sounds weird

like as if its kinda passed through an old radio

[slim stirrup]

Conspiracy theory: Them leaf lovas got Mission Control and replaced him with a robot

[tender river]

So he would be less cranky?

[velvet trail]

Sounds ominious

[vocal nacelle]

do you mean you got a promotion voice line instead of a regular voice line ?

[brittle epoch]

nah thats just the effect of long distance communication since he's down with the reclaimers

[fickle pivot]

It's a very enjoyable game. All you have to do is to stop listening to the toxic ass mfs on Discord and Reddit.

[tender river]

It would probably be good for his blood pressure

[tender river]

That's what I got at least

[velvet trail]

The very first voice line you get when logging in was a promotion one

[tender river]

It really confused me

[brittle epoch]

I think its the "you've been cleared for promotion" voice line you get when you load the game first time after the event

I got that at least

[grave citrus]

What's h5a

[tender river]

The exact same happened to me actually

[velvet trail]

and the promotion text showed the place holder "lorem ipsum" text for a second

[fickle pivot]

Anyways what are everyone's thoughts on the core stone being a perma warning? I would think everyone's adjusted to it since S5 release?

[fickle pivot]

Haz 5+ with all modifiers set up to the max.

[brittle epoch]

tbh I'd just avoid the mission if that was on it. core spawn are just a major hassle to fight

harder better faster stronger and they're always in your face, what is this, haz 10?

[slim stirrup]

I still get my ass beaten by the crawlers, so I'd probably go in the mission with the new warning only on low hazards

[wind owl]

Istg if I get screwed out of getting the new pickaxe im gonna be pissed

[tender river]

It's fun at least

[plain vessel]

2 months is quite long

[fickle pivot]

There's always Haz 2 to get stuff done quick.

[wind owl]

I submitted a bug report but who knows if they’ll even see it let alone fix it

[tender river]

Or haz 1

[wind owl]

It’s bugged for me

[tender river]

But they're practically the same hazard

[wind owl]

I completed the assignment and didn’t get anything

[brittle epoch]

yeah but you gotta toss the player at least one bone lol

no number advantage, range advantage, speed advantage, best we got is hiding behind shields and hiding on ziplines

[wind owl]

I’m betting that they’ll never see it and I’ll be locked out of it forever

[fickle pivot]

The assignment rewards you pickaxe parts on each completed mission. Did none of the 4 missions give you anything?

[wind owl]

No

[plain vessel]

but you do get range advantage
all enemies are meele

[tender river]

Did you start the assignment

[brittle epoch]

except they're so fast that they're always in your face, literally
melee range vs point blank range

[slim stirrup]

Doesn't really matter with how much distance those things cover in a single leap

[wind owl]

YES

[tender river]

And complete everything so that it moved forward

[cobalt mauve]

Ok so ||the big core stone spawning the pillars all over the cave is very cool, but core spawn are still total ass to fight||

[fickle pivot]

If you don't want to zipline cheese, I really like cryo against the corespawns, you don't even need to actually freeze them, just a bit of cryo slows them down to snail pace.

[wind owl]

Yes

[torpid prawn]

Crawlers are nasty yeah and still are in Rogue Core, undeniably the most dangerous enemy in both games

[wind owl]

I started it, did all four missions, and still got nothing

[tender river]

And when you finished it, it didn't show you anything?

[brittle epoch]

argh that means I gotta run my most hated driller primary though... (and also no cryo on gunner or engi, scout only has grenades and bolts)

[upbeat canyon]

I am out of the loop what is this about, a couple of messages above someone mentioned new content, I am so confused rn

[brittle epoch]

there's a new event on rn
go home and play it

[plain vessel]

any form of CC is good against them

[upbeat canyon]

NOW?

[wind owl]

The terminal had the new stuff notification but I didnt get anything

[fickle pivot]

I would suggest reloading an earlier backup save and try doing the assignment again. Do the first step and see if it rewards you anything.

[tender river]

Scout also has mineletts

[brittle epoch]

yes till july 9

[upbeat canyon]

I though it’s going to start on the rogue core release date

[torpid prawn]

Ice, Goo, slowing fire is great for Crawlers

[wind owl]

I don’t make backup saves
This has literally never been an issue before

[plain vessel]

the game makes them for you

[brittle epoch]

I lowkey forgot about it since timing them sucks, my bad

[fickle pivot]

Yeah Scout's kit isn't as good as the cryo cannon but spamming cryo bolts/nades is still helpful.

[upbeat canyon]

Time to put on my dusty old mining gear and hit the caves

[wind owl]

I shouldn’t have to do the whole assignment again because it’s buggy

[vocal nacelle]

"BuT tHe BeSt Cc Is DeAtH"

[fickle pivot]

The game automatically makes them for you, unless you have specifically went to the save menu and disabled that feature?

[plain vessel]

me invalidating the entire corespawn wave with pheromone bolts:

[wind owl]

This also happened during the easter event

[torpid prawn]

That too

[brittle epoch]

I guess its better since its guaranteed with the warning, but when it spawns randomly you best believe im gonna cheese it, I aint gonna lock myself to one loadout the entire season

[torpid prawn]

Any mods? Never heard of this issue

[plain vessel]

you don't bring CC for regular missions?
I sure do

[torpid prawn]

Have you checked the pickaxe customization terminal too?

[wind owl]

A lot of mods but very few that affect gameplay

[torpid prawn]

Doesn't matter, sometimes even small mods may cause issues

[fickle pivot]

You shouldn't, but do you want a possible quick fix for the problem that you can do today, or wait to a reply from GSG?

[wind owl]

its one thing to miss a seasonal hat, but missing a limited time item because of a bug is unacceptable

[toxic zephyr]

if you're playing modded that's probably the issue
mods tend to interfere with assignments unfortunately, so if you want the pickaxe you'll need to restore a backup save and run the assignment unmodded

[fickle pivot]

Yep, that's why you should try reloading a save and see if you can get it to work.

[vernal bear]

most people don't need it because the bugs are too slow for cc to matter

or the weapon provides passive CC through no effort

[plain vessel]

yeah, people are too comfortable with the fact sprinting solves all their problems

[wind owl]

theres no save to reload

[brittle epoch]

Rarely tbh.

• All of gunners primaries dont CC (except for autocannon fear but no one runs that outside of NTP), and you're nerfing yourself with taking CC on 2 of his secondaries.
• Engi's only CC is spreading electricity and the only one really good at that is the stubby w/ hyperalloy.
• Driller is the king of CC definitely. Practically impossible to not have CC on him.
• Scout's major source of CC is the crossbow (or minelets), which in itself is already an issue. Grenades can come in clutch but run out quickly

So what CC are you running?

I think I forgot hurricane stun

[plain vessel]

and minigun stun

literally all gunner priamries have CC

and it's also the class with coilgun

[brittle epoch]

meh stunning 1 enemy after shooting for 3 seconds can hardly be CC

[tender river]

Do you think fearcoil is a nerf?

[vernal bear]

autocannon is the only one where the cc is a mod forgot to consider that hurricane's other t5 options suck

[brittle epoch]

I did mention the coil in the secondaries (2 sucking at CC, 1 not sucking)

[vernal bear]

are you using LSLS? otherwise 20% is easily achievable with that much fire rate

[fickle pivot]

Breach cutter is absolutely CC on engi, and so are his platforms for crowd control.

[toxic zephyr]

so if you press Escape in-game, go to Options then Save Menu, are you able to hit Restore Save?

[brittle epoch]

rotary, burning hell and sometimes almo

[fickle pivot]

Minigun is a single target weapon but eventually, after an admittedly high ammo cost, dabbles into CC with hot bullets/AV.

[wind owl]

turned off all my mods and reloaded a save

[brittle epoch]

I dont think Ive ever seen an engi in my 1.3k hours use platforms for pathing aside from blackbox roof
Breach cutter is a real one though

[toxic zephyr]

is the assignment available now?

(you may need to restart the game to see it)

[fickle pivot]

Platforms are absolutely a pathing tool. One of the best known DRG tutorial videos on YT is Waste's platform guide which makes heavy use of funneling.

[plain vessel]

so to sum up
gunner has all 3 primaries, the entirety of coilgun and electro minelets
engi has EMD, MCAO, (TW kinda counts too), breach stun, pgl stun, shard slow, lures, shredders slow
driller is driller
scout has <grenades>, taser bolts, pheromone bolts, cryo bolts, EFS, electrifying reload, CM, boomstick stun

that's quite a few options

[brittle epoch]

aint no one use electro minelets lol

[proper pulsar]

Can we call the new mutator CorCor?

[fickle pivot]

All the really whitebeard engis I've seen end up using platforms for funneling enemies into holdouts and killzones.

[brittle epoch]

magic bullets NT sees more use, despite the loss of a secondary weapon

[wind owl]

i did and it still gives me nothing

[tender river]

I exist

[plain vessel]

to add to this, even without repellant, you can create a bridge with a gap, which makes the enemies walk all the way around when you jump, which is very strong

Literally all of Gunner's primaries have CC if built well

Engi's best secondary, Breach Cutter, if built well (stun) has very good CC, especially with its best overclock, Roll Control. Aside from Breach Cutter, though, PGL also has both AoE stun and fear and Shard Diffractor has slow.

Scout also has M1000 fear

[dawn prawn]

electro minlets goated

[tender river]

When I do play gunner that is

[flint hatch]

I just did one, it's such a pain as Driller because you're effectively shoved into a hole and don't have the DPS to kill the Core Spawn before they get too close. And to add insult to injury, they have acid blood :0

[brittle epoch]

I highly doubt you are not a figment of my imagination

[vernal bear]

i try to as much as possible - either a "U" shape or by giving 2 paths in

[toxic zephyr]

welp
let this be a lesson to you: do not attempt important assignments with mods
i suspect this pickaxe set will be added to loot pools like all other cosmetics, so it's not gone forever

[tender river]

I'm real, as long as you don't take meds

[wind owl]

i have 3k hours and have never had this issue

[brittle epoch]

I do admit I forgot the BC, and did say earlier it was a real one

[fickle pivot]

Yep there's a lot of really good tech. Never heard that one in particular before, but it does make sense.

Engi not being the toughest class to play challenge: [impossible]

[brittle epoch]

Nuh uh I quit my meds to continue drinking

[hollow scroll]

But you didn't forget PGL and Shard Diffractor and just chose to ignore them?

[queen crane]

am i crazy or is anyone else thinking the new mission control lines with this surprise event were made with ai

[hollow scroll]

Also Engi has ECR which has AoE fear so yet more CC

[tender river]

That's why I'm real forever

[brittle epoch]

Im just gonna ignore the PGL one for real

Shard's aight if you enjoy CCing just one crawler I guess

[toxic zephyr]

all that means is you got lucky until now
all it takes is one bug in one mod to cause this issue, and there's no way to know which one did it without individually testing each mod - which is incredibly tedious to test with assignments

[hollow scroll]

Point is it's CC. Also there's still Shard Diffractor, which has VIR which slows basically every enemy you can see by 30%

Oh and how could I forget EMD or MCAO?

You're really underestimating the amount of CC each class has

[brittle epoch]

like everyone, me included already said stubby

[plain vessel]

you said mainly HAA

but yeah, I did say that already

[brittle epoch]

I never knew vir applies a slow though

[modern minnow]

oh you get skill points for the new modifier, this means it will go core right? nice

[wind owl]

at this point im considering using a save editor

[hollow scroll]

There's a big difference between stock Stubby's 3 second slow to a single target and EMD's 5-meter-radius several second slow+fear (with extended duration thanks to said slow) and MCAO's like 20 seconds of slow to every enemy that touches a platform

[wanton sierra]

hi all, can i invite my friend if he don't have access to alpha?

[karmic vigil]

no

[brittle epoch]

yo the mods dont like it when you talk about editing your save, its like #1 most hated topic after modding

[hollow scroll]

They removed that functionality due to it being buggy

[fickle pivot]

I think the topic of CC is quite simple. As a general rule of thumb, which has its exceptions:

• Driller goes full AoE.

• Scout goes full ST.

• Gunner and engi are expected to do half and half.

• Gunner and driller are main DPS.

• Engi and scout are support.

This is the system in place for most but not all team comps/missions.

[toxic zephyr]

how about we let the moderators do moderation please

[brittle epoch]

ah shit I just realized I mixed up hyperalloy and micro conductor

[toxic zephyr]

if they have a problem with something we're talking about they can say something

[brittle epoch]

turret arc is still the name in my head

[brittle epoch]

aight, I got timed out for it before so my bad I guess

[plain vessel]

except they don't say anything
they just delete your message

[wind owl]

what else am i supposed to do? just accept that im fucked?

[proper pulsar]

Dunce be upon ye

[hollow scroll]

They're so harsh about that topic that warning the person talking about it is just respectful to said person so they don't get the hammer

[toxic zephyr]

you played the game in an unintended way using mods that GSG has no time nor ability to debug
unfortunately you may well not have any recourse here

because GSG isn't going to fix this, they have no reason to

[proper pulsar]

I... just hope they actually put the pickaxe into the random drop pool

[wind owl]

they wont

[proper pulsar]

Imagine the shitstorm if they won't

[fickle pivot]

If you tell your predicament in the modding discussion channels they might be able to point out to you some mods to fix your problem.

[plain vessel]

there will be nothing of the sort
they already did this before

[toxic zephyr]

hasn't like literally every other cosmetic been put into loot pools save the paid DLC? i don't see why this one wouldn't

[plain vessel]

no

[hollow scroll]

There have been exceptions

[brittle epoch]

if you're able to do it, just do it. simple as

[plain vessel]

all anniversary hats and some steam awards hats are unobtainable

the EA hat too

[fickle pivot]

No, there are some anniversary hats and milestone celebration hats that are intended to never come back again.

The Streamsuit set is also meant to be obtainable only on a personal merit basis.

[proper pulsar]

Yeah, yeah, but it was quite a while ago

[wind owl]

the fact that it still doesnt work even in vanilla tells me the game itself is broken

[plain vessel]

game anniversary is every year

[brittle epoch]

I think paper crown was also time locked? can't remember

[vital marlin]

there very few items in DRG that have been fomo, the years in orbit hats and the steam award hat is some of them

[plain vessel]

that's an anniversary hat

[brittle epoch]

it is? I forgor

[neat vapor]

hey devs what the FUCK is this difficulty jump

haz 4 has suddenly felt like haz 5+

[thick gate]

Helldivers 2 is better than this game!

Haha. NOT

[brittle epoch]

core spawn event?

[toxic zephyr]

what i suspect happened is that when you did the assignment modded, the game saved your assignment progress without correctly rewarding you with the pickaxe parts
so currently your game is in a bit of a broken state where it recognizes that the assignment is complete and will not give it out again, but never actually gave you what you're supposed to get

[wind owl]

i loaded a backup and did it again

[neat vapor]

the missions in general

[wind owl]

still nothing

[neat vapor]

at least on the assignment

genuinely 4 back-to-back hell missions

[fickle pivot]

They're both very good in their own respective ways. Saying this as someone with +1300 hours in HD2 and +1900 hours in DRG.

[brittle epoch]

they havent been that harsh on my side

just the core spawn event part sucked

[neat vapor]

i guess it was just one of those times when the planet just wanted me and my team in particular dead

[toxic zephyr]

you mean you finished the assignment again? that was fast

[wind owl]

haz 1

[snow pagoda]

It's kinda total bullshit tbh, crawlers have a lot of hp, deal a lot of damage, are fast and highly maneuverable (hard to hit) and don't have big weak spots AND there're like 10-15 of them in the cave at all times +when they attack they do that in a group of ~4 and run away immediately
-# *we had a full lobby of people with 1k+ hours and everybody is dying all the time on haz 5

[toxic zephyr]

fair

[maiden lake]

I feel this too. I thought it was just me but the past couple of days i’ve failed several missions in a row😂

[hollow fox]

engi having the most kills while being a support

[proper pulsar]

The important question is - do they spawn infinitely during the fight or not

[neat vapor]

yes

very much yes

[meager grove]

anyone else keep disconnecting from matches randomly?

[fickle pivot]

Uninstall all mods, verify file integrity on Steam, create a new blank save, skip the tutorial, go straight to the assignments terminal, do 1 mission for the Rogue Core assignment.

If the game does reward you a pickaxe part now, it's your save that is fucked. If it still doesn't reward you shit, then yes it's an issue with the game itself.

[queen crane]

did they use gen ai for the new mission control lines for this surprise event?

[fickle pivot]

Sentries stealing kills.

[proper pulsar]

Apparently not

[neat vapor]

why would they?

[meager grove]

no, new place to record from so it sounds different

[velvet trail]

From what I know the devs are anti gen-ai so that would surprise me

[karmic vigil]

diffrent recording studio

[neat vapor]

yea plus like i'm p sure the va is one of the devs so like

[meager grove]

they changed offices recently

[queen crane]

i wish i recorded the damn things so i could back up my claims

[toxic zephyr]

it's unfortunate then that the new lines sound similar to AI-generated lines i've heard

[velvet trail]

yeah GSG Robert is the voice of mission control, he's one of the founders

[dire falcon]

I like the one that gives you extra range, combine it with the upgrade for more range and you can outsnipe sniper turrets

[queen crane]

i swear it's like, some words are overpronounced compared to other lines

[wind owl]

that means giving up a 3k hour save file

[jagged needle]

how come people dont like modded in this game?

[meager grove]

it's called an accent

[karmic vigil]

what ya mean

[queen crane]

i'm really just anxious about anything gen ai even remotely appearing

[wind owl]

i would literally never recover

[meager grove]

calm down, they literally don't use it

[proper pulsar]

Actually, that might just give my hypothesis an argument - IW really called up Ghost Ship and had Robert say the lines over the phone

[neat vapor]

i hear a bit of omega in there so i imagine it's just accidentally doing a bit of that voice when talking about the reclaimers lmao

[proper pulsar]

Pounce is a pretty trustworthy one to say this #drg-chat message

[wind owl]

if i lose my main save i am done

[queen crane]

in one of the voicelines for completing a mission for the new assignment he says "shudder" which he pronounces more like a "shuddur" than a "shuddah"

[neat vapor]

yea that's the line i was thinking of

he mentions reclaimers in that and accidentally goes a bit into the omega voice lol

[queen crane]

it's all i have to go off of aside from just feeling like there's inconsistencies but i'm being vigilant about possible ai use

[toxic zephyr]

honestly people just say things differently on occasion, we're not all super consistent with how we sound

VAs have to practice a LOT to get consistent voices

and they'll slip up on occasion

[queen crane]

i've gotten myself worked up over this and i need to use this feeling of anxiety somewhere

[proper pulsar]

And he's not even a professional VA

[quiet halo]

If GSG ever used Gen Ai I would riot

[velvet trail]

go kill some core spawn

[queen crane]

i don't have rogue core :(

[brittle epoch]

their old recording "studio" is just a box with a mic in the corner so they could bring it back

[hollow scroll]

I don't know who said they don't like modded but most people either do like it or are ambivalent

[velvet trail]

they are in DRG now

[proper pulsar]

"We have Core Spawn at home"

[queen crane]

oh i'm aware

i'm still annoyed since i've been registered for the playtest since applications were open and yet i don't have an invite

[neat vapor]

a LOT of people applied

[queen crane]

i knowww just augh

[velvet trail]

yeah it's in the hundreds of thousands

[mossy narwhal]

15 trillion people applied to the play test and a few thousand got in

[neat vapor]

ok maybe not 15 trillion lmao

[karmic vigil]

14

[wind owl]

if i make a new save that means doing the long ass starting assignment again and im not doing that

[arctic sky]

Humanity magically multiplied it's population a thousand times over.

[dim condor]

How do you know? 🙂

[proper pulsar]

and even more people are scalpers

[neat vapor]

wh

[fickle pivot]

Potentially, yeah. Or maybe not. But it would be a great way to ascertain whether your situation is to be blamed on mods or not.

Because if it is, then GSG can do nothing for you, because the game itself didn't fail you in that aspect.

[karmic vigil]

insider knowlage
guys, you have a rat in the office

[neat vapor]

what is there to scalp???

[toxic zephyr]

you can't scalp a digital game

[hollow fox]

[velvet trail]

you would be surprised

[mossy narwhal]

Selling steam accounts is a thing

[neat vapor]

let alone a free beta for a game???

[dim condor]

Get out of the vents!

[karmic vigil]

no!

[neat vapor]

that HARDLY seems worth it

[dim condor]

I'll get the broom

[mossy narwhal]

But I doubt u didn’t get into the playtest because some dude was scalping invites lol

[wind owl]

why do i even bother

[fair spindle]

breaking news: rogue core will sadly not feature chriss pratt in it

[proper pulsar]

Hint-hint - radon gas

[karmic vigil]

O_O

[mossy narwhal]

More like the number generator didn’t spit out ur number

[flint hatch]

So, is the reason why the Core Stone events always felt 2 Hazard levels above the main mission because the average DRG employee is not equipped to deal with them?

[quiet halo]

It’s true guys I scalped the invites for the Rivals to get into the playtest

[plain vessel]

it do be +40%

[mossy narwhal]

Bro did all that to get into the playtest of the middest looking game ever

[flint hatch]

Deep Rock Galactic really need to invest in better equipment...

[fair spindle]

its probably bc they dont act like the other enemies

so you have to approach them diffrently

[prime helm]

How does one manage to take the worst season event and make it even worse? Ask whoever designed Core Corruption.

[wind owl]

it still being broken despite doing it in vanilla is pretty damning

[fair spindle]

nah the reclaimers get all the shit

we get scraps

[flint hatch]

I didn't even know the Reclaimers existed.

Please assign some to Space Rig 17, this is horrible.

[mossy narwhal]

Are we bringing the zip line strat back to deal with corespawn in this event

[proper pulsar]

Kinda

[karmic vigil]

back? it never went away

[fair spindle]

wait

are reclaimers actual workers or just dudes on a "cleaning" contract job

[quiet halo]

What’s this event I’m hearing of and why is it corespawn. I haven’t played in a bit

[civic crescent]

People are used to things slowly walking towards them in rows, instead of jumping around the whole room

Remember, your average gamer has reaction time of dying snail

[mossy narwhal]

I mean it was almost essential for corespawn and not much else lmao

[arctic sky]

Does core corruption give more than 1 core stone event?

[proper pulsar]

Check the announcements

[karmic vigil]

play and find out

[plain vessel]

they work for DRG

[karmic vigil]

youll find it

[arctic sky]

I wanna pop the corestones like glyphid eggs

[fair spindle]

isnt the average reaction time actually like

0.25 seconds?

[vernal bear]

it potentially wcan

[velvet trail]

special force of DRG

[mossy narwhal]

Reclaimers are the navy seals of DRG

[karmic vigil]

private army pretty much

[civic crescent]

Theory and practice are often quite different

[quiet halo]

Apparently it’s not on console yet so I actually can’t 💀

[velvet trail]

yeah gotta wait 2 weeks as usual

[proper pulsar]

You'll still need someone to run towards the smaller stones and break them open, they seem to spawn in random locations?

[fair spindle]

mission control: i hate you pls explode
omega: i hate you slightly less

[toxic zephyr]

i suspect the Reclaimers are where DRG's money goes - they get better tech than the miners

[true arch]

i would say they are the elite force of the DRG (more loyal & higher up)

yeah

[prime helm]

Space Marines.

[upbeat canyon]

Well the new event is good I guess

[true arch]

The regular miners have to build their own upgrades and purchase it themselves

[upbeat canyon]

Not really that different from normal corestone

[mossy narwhal]

I haven’t seen or played the event yet but uhhh c4?

[fair spindle]

wait

whats the lore reason the reclaimers cant just go in with a US militaries worth of weaponry

[civic crescent]

W A L L

[karmic vigil]

long story short: planet has deployed big ass EMP field

[velvet trail]

the greyout destroys most of your equipment

[karmic vigil]

most tech is gone

[quiet halo]

There’d be no sandwich space

[fair spindle]

i wanna bring dorretta to the core tbh

[civic crescent]

Leave poor Dori out of it

[proper pulsar]

The elevator engine alert sounds already trigger me

[arctic sky]

Sandwich space is important

[velvet trail]

We already have someone with PTSD

[arctic sky]

Which is why one of the ammo modifications on the bulldog is a trap. It gives up sandwich space.

[fickle pivot]

Worst season event is BY FAR the Lithophage Corruptor. Annoying POS that won't let you ignore it and move on because if you do it'll fill the whole map with space cancer.

[fair spindle]

isnt that like

every ammo upgrade

[proper pulsar]

Doretta PTSD is real for most of the playerbase, I'm pretty sure

[arctic sky]

Not sure about other modifications, but one of bulldog's ammo mods (it has 2) gives up sandwich space in its description.

[fickle pivot]

And if you do fight it it'll ignore all of your holdouts because it can hover around the whole map.

It's the only boss enemy that feels legitimately unfun to play for me.

[fair spindle]

anyways does rogue core have other voice actors or is it again one dude with a diffrent pitch

[quiet halo]

What kind of sandwhiches do dwarves eat anyway

[mossy narwhal]

The only legitimately bad aspect of the corestone event is its lack of a fail condition which had serious griefing potential if someone opened it while everyone else was on the opposite side of the cave

[karmic vigil]

one dude and one whatever version of dude is for womans

[fair spindle]

ok

[hollow fox]

beer infused sandwiches

[proper pulsar]

Female characters have a different VA

[fickle pivot]

Yeah that's a big risk. It's like data deposits. You either beat them or fail the mission.

[arctic sky]

And god forbid you have bad terrain to fight it in, you found it in a hole? Better patch that up because it'll float up to the impossible to reach ledges that you just so happen to be unable to reach.

[toxic zephyr]

beer bread is a thing, i could see it

[velvet trail]

Javier is back and we have 2 new voice actors, one for female dwarfs, Elsie Lovelock and the new announcer OMEGA which is voiced by Aaron, you might know him from the dev streams

[hollow fox]

[mossy narwhal]

But otherwise yeah lithophage is by far and away the most annoying event esp on things like point extract or egg missions

[flint hatch]

Now I think we're more impressive than the Reclaimers, because I'm sure we've achieved bigger things with about half the equipment and none of their training.

[plain vessel]

reclaimers would disagree

[velvet trail]

what the miners do is impressive in it's own right

[fair spindle]

tbf

the reclaimers have to fight corespawn with scraps found in random cave corners

[flint hatch]

Well that just sounds like bad planning.

[brittle epoch]

reclaimers can come fight us to prove it, 4 reclaimers against 1 driller in a cage match and its over

[velvet trail]

It has it's lore reasons

[plain vessel]

retcon solos

[proper pulsar]

We're combat miners to begin with, and now they need special forces of combat miners

[brittle epoch]

2 C4s solos

[plain vessel]

except they don't

but I won't spoil in drg chat

[mossy narwhal]

Might be good to make a ticket in #report-a-bug

[quiet halo]

Driller should’ve learned to earthbend by now

[wind owl]

already did

[fair spindle]

thats not how bending works

[mossy narwhal]

then just wait

[upbeat radish]

Hello everyone

[brittle epoch]

driller has iron will, ez pz barley bulb squeezy

[raw bramble]

What is a Polish automaton doing here

Go back to cyberstan cuh

[wind owl]

the last time i reached out to devs (for a different game) for help they basically me to go fuck myself so forgive my skepticism

[mossy narwhal]

Zamn

Oh, for a different game

What game

[raw bramble]

Iron will plus vampirism my beloved

[white timber]

new pickaxe

[quiet halo]

He hasn’t awakened his bending powers yet

But I know they’re in there

[upbeat canyon]

Big words coming from someone who is supposed to be in hospital fighting cancer

[arctic sky]

Aside from driller's drill, is there anything else that can take advantage of the korlok bulb's hitbox?

[brittle epoch]

real, this dwarf gets it

[raw bramble]

I ain’t dead yet

[wind owl]

EDF 6 on release

[toxic zephyr]

as soon as DRG finds the Hoxxian badger-moles all the dwarves will learn to earthbend

[mossy narwhal]

DRG devs don’t seem like the type of guys to tell people to go fuck themselves, in fact they’d probably be really interested in why you for some reason aren’t getting items

[toxic zephyr]

until they learn mods were involved, i imagine

[quiet halo]

Driller would be the most powerful though

[wind owl]

i know, i want to assume the best of them but my previous experience with game devs havent been great

[mossy narwhal]

The game has official mod support and it would be strange if a mod is interfering with item drops

[brittle epoch]

driller bending the drills off dotty, the drillevator and the drop pod to make the most epic tunnel in existence

[velvet trail]

nah they were throwing shade

[wind owl]

also i did it in vanilla and it still didnt work

[quiet halo]

Yeah he’d be able to metalbend that for sure

Scout has an air bending vibe though

[velvet trail]

scout would bend his farts to propel himself through the air

[brittle epoch]

scout fits air for sure but the other two are tough

if gunner is fire, engi doesnt fit water

but gunner doesnt fit water either

[upbeat canyon]

If driller acquires drillevator’s and doretta’s drills he will start wearing cool glasses and saying stuff like ”My drill is the drill that creates the heavens!”

[hollow fox]

am i the only one who hates the easter event mission?

[quiet halo]

I don’t think any of them would waterbend, they’ve never even seen water

[brittle epoch]

that happens after he gets the drop pod's drill too
-# I have not watched gurren lagan

[vital geyser]

Hey chat. Any idea when the next free weekend will happen? I'd like to hook up some friends to the game

[upbeat canyon]

They would beerbend

[flint hatch]

I hope we get a new mission type/mutator in Season 7 where the mission takes place in one of those overrun Rogue Core facilities but it's just glyphids and not something that's worth sending Reclaimers for.

[quiet halo]

True

[brittle epoch]

scout waterbends purely because his room is stacked with energy drink cans

[quiet halo]

But if he’s already airbending…hold on a minute, Scout is the avatar!

[wind owl]

besides, it should be easy to fix by just editing my save

im willing to wait for seasonal stuff, but considering how painful the assignment was, i think i deserve to get the reward

[prime helm]

Then there's the hit-n-run space monkeys that require a status build.

[quiet halo]

Gunner and engi are probably both just firebenders that work in perfect harmony

[flint hatch]

Leadbending.

[fickle pivot]

I try not to think too much about it.
If driller, cryo or sludge. If engi, LURE. If gunner, coilgun and zips. If scout, phero.

[toxic zephyr]

that does count as metalbending!

[hollow fox]

gunner would be a lava bender tbh

[quiet halo]

If anyone is waterbending it’s Molly

[quiet halo]

But that would make him an earthbender

[hollow fox]

true

[toxic zephyr]

if anything Engineer would lavabend, he's got VIR which just opens up magma veins

[arctic sky]

Doretta would be a windbender with how she can defy gravity.

[toxic zephyr]

earthbending kinda fits engie anyway bc platforms

[hollow fox]

driller:

[toxic zephyr]

they can both do it

[upbeat canyon]

Forced dwarves to drink 100 barrels of leaf lovers special call this shit mentalbending

[quiet halo]

Forcing dwarves to drown in leaf lovers so they learn to combustion bend their way out

[toxic zephyr]

now THAT would be gunner

[quiet halo]

Gunner would be a terrifying combustion bender

[hollow fox]

i wonder which dwarf would blood bend

[toxic zephyr]

if it had to be just one of them, only Driller is insane enough to do it

[wild bloom]

The new corestone event is much better than the old one
but my game crashed lol

[quiet halo]

Driller would invent bloodbending and actively encourage it

[velvet trail]

just dropped into a mission with core stone event + korlok active

[hollow fox]

that happend to me too

[hallow schooner]

Hey guys what do you use for elimination?
Looking mostly for driller and scout ideas, but any input is welcome.

[velvet trail]

yeah that didn't last long

[cursive glade]

conductive thermals drak + taser bolt xbow + ifg

[true arch]

For Driller, i tend to use a Sludge Blast OC build with Gamma Contamination/EPC
For Scout, Conductive thermals drak + Jumbo Shells + IFG

[whole terrace]

i can't cancel my mission is this intentional?

[plain vessel]

for driller I do DC + ER subata, or Slast + TCF if I want standalone dps
if I trust my team to cooperate, cryo cannon is also playable
scout has many options, like hipster, ED, SCC, CT + boomstick
also I recommend to take ifgs as scout

[cursive glade]

some assignments cannot be cancelled

[arctic sky]

Sludge blast is pretty good, I heard Combustive Goo Mix is better but haven't tried it. Sometimes I run cryo or heat to clear caves easier.
Scout I use Thermal Exhaust Feedback with Fire bolt as secondary.
Conductive thermals with phosphorous Jumbo shells if I really feel like deleting dreads.

[true arch]

Gunner, Lead Storm Lead Storm With Lead Spray Burst gun
Engineer, ECR Lok1 with Overdrive shard Diffractor

[plain vessel]

I fail to see how CGM would be better on elim

[hollow fox]

i like going with big bertha for elim

[true arch]

the explosive trigger might be a good chunk of damage ,but idk haven't tried it myself

[arctic sky]

If you're the one saying that, I trust it, I just heard that it's better.

[plain vessel]

puddles on the ground deals explosive damage, and dreads resist that, and you have to ignite them too
meanwhile slast just deals straight up big dps

[dim socket]

Good afternoon. Don't you know how to extract/get models of dwarfs?

In addition, is it possible to import them to Blender

[arctic sky]

He speaks wisdom once again

[serene jolt]

CGM's explosions are typeless damage. Nothing resists it. The damage is just okay though on dreads

[plain vessel]

this is only true for explosions procced off of enemies

puddles on the ground deal explosive

and you can't ignite a dread without CT

[dull stump]

from my past experience with unreal engine games, ueviewer might let you extract the dwarf models and plop them directly into blender
although you might have a lot more luck on this in the modding server of drg

[hallow schooner]

Do the dread weak points count for "+X% damage on weakpoints" ? Or is it just the only spot you can shoot em?

[plain vessel]

they do

friendly reminder the og dread shell is not a weakpoint though

[nova flare]

my game keeps crashing is it cuz of new update?

[white timber]

damn my game just crashed due to thin air

oh

[plain vessel]

lol

[hallow schooner]

I'll go back to build crafting now. Thank you all for the kind responses!

[prime helm]

Instead of a new mutator, they should've made it possible to see who wants to play what class on latejoin. Right now, you can't see that until those loading into the game finish loading.

[proper pulsar]

?

[whole terrace]

dawg i hate when 1 teammate is alone and we all need to call molly

[plain vessel]

think they mean when 2 people join a game in quick succesion
since they don't know what the other is taking, you might end up with class dupes easily

[proper pulsar]

Unless two people click on the same class simultaneously somehow...

¯_(ツ)_/¯

also, good ol' "fix the thing that's been pestering me instead of adding stuff right now"

I'm yet to notice how the new Core Stone fight is initiated. Do you need to shoot at the stone or just walk nearby or something?

[whole terrace]

i installed a squidward walking effect molly mod
i think it was a grave mistake

[jagged needle]

imagine corespawn and roxpox modifiders together, poor glyphids

[wooden whale]

imagine rockpox swarm when you deal with corespawn

magical

[sharp orchid]

rockpox infected corespawn

[velvet trail]

new warning is actually fire

[wooden whale]

honestly idk how would that be if it could spawn in deep dives

[plain vessel]

it probably can't

just like lithophage can't

but what do I know at this point

[velvet trail]

congratulations, you have created rogue core /j

[polar sonnet]

I didn't read fully so i hope the warning sticks around permanently

It looks really interesting

[wooden whale]

it's already hell to deal with without zipline in haz 4

[velvet trail]

seems like it will, it rewards perk points

[polar sonnet]

Hell yeah, new warning to get curbstomped by

[velvet trail]

First try got it in a haz 5 +2 enemies with korlok, I didn't feel that helpless in a long time

[meager grove]

bring cryo, your team will love you

[polar sonnet]

Korlok, the mission ender

[delicate tapir]

korlok full team haz5+ is so miserable

💔

[velvet trail]

yeah I hate it

biggest run ender IMO

[polar sonnet]

Can't wait to see nameistaylor try it and get his shit ran

[delicate tapir]

we might be sleeper team

[polar sonnet]

I like the idea of korlok, but drg cave gen makes me hate it

[polar sonnet]

The coma team...

[delicate tapir]

theres nothing about korlok i like

its such a tedious boss battle

[velvet trail]

korlok activating when you get close is it's biggest problem

[polar sonnet]

Korloks are similar to pitjaws for me, i don't see them until its way too late and then we're suddenly dead

[delicate tapir]

one thing corruptor has better over korlok is u have an option to not fight it!

bro my entire 250 hours in drg i think ive encountered the corruptor only 3 times

[chrome horizon]

A good driller would hard carry it

[polar sonnet]

Corruptors are my favorite boss honestly

[hoary fable]

It's been a while, got back on DRG and it's telling me to "join the union" even though I should already be a dirt digger

[delicate tapir]

real hot take

[velvet trail]

920 hours here and I've encountered it probably 5 times

but I didn't play that much during the rockpox seasons

[polar sonnet]

I think s3 and s4 have the best seasonal events and the corruptor is my favorite boss

[delicate tapir]

lowk cuz the corruptor just can just run away

[manic apex]

ebonite event causes the game to crash if spawns close to new mission as soon as it ends

[chrome horizon]

Do they show how many corruptors we have kiled

[delicate tapir]

and fighting it without jet boots is so annoying

[polar sonnet]

Interesting

[velvet trail]

I like core stone the most because of the badass music and GSG basically made an entire spin-off of that

[hoary fable]

It might be due to username change, being reinstalled at some point, or being moved to a different drive. I'm unsure how to reconnect it

[fierce lake]

yeah I'm and I'm trying to join one but I'm already in the discord and it doesn't change

[polar sonnet]

That is absolutely beyond fair, i adore the corestone as well, but hyperinfectious rocks from space is just so awesome to me

[delicate tapir]

for me from all seasonal enemy, the core spawn is my only likeable enemy

[flint hatch]

Fun Fact!

Electrifying Reload for the Scout's DeepCore GK2 is actually not very ammo efficient. This is because although it is possible to one-tap Glyphid Grunts by waiting for the damage-over-time, your team will still magdump everything that is electrocuted anyway, causing them to use more ammo. This cancels out the ammo consumption that you save, as they will need to resupply more often.
-# /hj

[delicate tapir]

i dont like the bots

i dont like rockpox

[velvet trail]

prospector kinda turns everything into chaos and hack-c event isn't that interesting

[delicate tapir]

a bit shame that core stone event is just zipline hanging

and u win

[polar sonnet]

Prospectors have ended missions for me tbh

[velvet trail]

but nemesis as an enemy I like

[delicate tapir]

Ok nemesis is cool

[polar sonnet]

Prospectors actually go run ending for me more often than I'm willing to admit-

[velvet trail]

nemesis teaser trailer was crazy good with those dwarf voice lines

[vernal bear]

drak CT + WP spec powder? is this good?

[fierce lake]

Looks like unions don't work anymore? searching messages in this server is full of people saying so

sad

[polar sonnet]

Nemesis is fun, i used to run only scorching tide so i never had them last very long around me

[tulip steeple]

do any of yall know how to get the octopus hat

i want it so bad

[plain vessel]

wait for the summer event

[tulip steeple]

thanks

[polar sonnet]

Summer event is coming soon

[hoary fable]

If it's not a my-end issue that's a bit of a relief, but yeah sad, I wanna support my fellow dirt diggers

[chrome horizon]

For what purpose

[tulip steeple]

too bad i didnt get the game a month earlier or id have the bunny

[fluid orbit]

I hope the rogue core assignment for the base game can also be done on consoles.
(Asking for friends since none of them have DRG on Steam or even have a PC)

[polar sonnet]

It will be soon, i think they said two weeks?

[velvet trail]

Yes it will come to consoles but 2 weeks later

[white timber]

forced to heavy extraction

[fluid orbit]

Didn’t see that in the announcement nor in the steam link.

Am I blind?

[gilded cypress]

Note: The event is currently live on Steam, but will come to console within the next two weeks, so @everyone can enjoy it.

its in the announcement

[velvet trail]

Yup

[fluid orbit]

I see it now. Ty.

[white timber]

my game keeps on crashing

yeah i crashed again

dude

[fierce lake]

Change your startup

Pick some DirectX

[flint hatch]

Does anyone have a good build for DeepCore GK2 with Burst Fire?

Okay nevermind apparently it objectively sucks.

[wild pawn]

fake news

[white timber]

you got it wrong, drak-25 is objectively sucks

[next plover]

is the warning always on heavy extraction or has it just rolled one for the past like 4 mission sets

[wooden whale]

lmao

yeah at that point just use default gk2 instead of burst fire cuz the stat is a lie

[grave citrus]

Overtuned(I will never call it oc) firing mechanism kinda gives a similar vibe

But like

30x better

[grave citrus]

Wow 😳 more cake yes please

[vagrant delta]

Burst fire just has the problem of overkilling small targets and not being all that much better against big ones

[next plover]

extraction cave gen is ass i hate it

[grave citrus]

Why it's so fun on every class

[next plover]

it always ends up making that baikout vertical switchback shaft

[grave citrus]

Stationary spawn is actually reasonable

[grave citrus]

Baikout vertical switchback shaft?

[next plover]

i feel like if the cave gen is forced to do something janky like that its just poorly designed

[wild bloom]

supercooling chamber
kind of sucks
the death mark does exactly what it does,but better and afaster

[plain vessel]

it sucks when that happens, but overall it isn't too complex

[next plover]

"when" it happens

100% of the time

not that its like hard to navigate it juist annoys me that it exists

[plain vessel]

not really for the latter part
but SCC is indeed bad for general usage

[next plover]

it feels like a bandaid on bad cave gen

[random mortar]

when are they adding the demolisher from survivor to drg

we need him

[next plover]

*bailout
when it stacks that switchback cave formation on top itself 20 times because its forced to connect 2 rooms that are 50 meters apart vertically and thats the only way it can do it

[dull stump]

Tomorrow

[wild bloom]

x1.55 damage for EVERYONE
including yourself
use 3 ammo to mark some fatass
then shoot the rest of your clip into it and BAM it's either gone, or mostly gone
and it's QUICK

[vernal bear]

it's supposed to be the "identity" of heavyex due to ossiran tremor lore or something but I still hate it

[grave citrus]

Ohhh it's kinda whatever but I get you they'll probably update it

[vernal bear]

takes too long to traverse

[gilded cypress]

i don't think it's intended at all

[grave citrus]

Since it's new

[vernal bear]

takes too long to setup, takes too long to dig..

[gilded cypress]

that only started happening after they adjusted the cavegen

[next plover]

that is 100% some bullshit they made up to cover the fact that shitty cave gen rules force it to spawn every time

[plain vessel]

thata's not quite the same as just shoting a high damage shot yourself
also teamamtes need to follow you up (or you yourself need to do it)
and MFD is half as effective (it lasts half as long) on bulks and dreads, and doesn't work at all on the caretaker

[vernal bear]

deep scan and heavyex could share a cavegen and i dont think anyone could bat an eye

[next plover]

deep scan is still janky but fun janky

[plain vessel]

those are distinctly different

[next plover]

HE feels like elim but with added forced looping that it really doesnt need

[plain vessel]

I'd say it kinda needs it

I certainly wouldn't want to backtrack all that

[next plover]

idk i am just a bit of an HE hater anyway

its literally just deep scan cut in half and keeping the boring half

[plain vessel]

but yeah, if they could so like mining tunnels instead of those switchbacks, that would be great

[wild bloom]

a high shot damage that doesnt actually do that much damage actually to fat targets, slows you down and takes ages to focus
it pings the enemies you mark for death(which i didn't notice at first)(i think?) which is cool. And you have the grappling hook to quickly pull yourself to the thing you marked for death
yeah, it is a bit worse for things that are not affected by it. But MFD eats less max ammo so you can just hipfire it if needed

[plain vessel]

yeah, but it's more like this support tool

[wild bloom]

Also it's fun as fuck when you mark someone for death
and your team focuses on it and destroys it
Feeling like a captain giving comands "REMOVE THIS THING FROM THE FACE OF HOXXESS 4!"

[gilded cypress]

drg chatter found playing "deep rock galactic" in may 2026

[wild bloom]

no rogue core invitation....

[hallow torrent]

what the fuck is that

[wild bloom]

4 attempts at beating the first mission in the new assignment.

4 failed ones.,

[hallow torrent]

skill issue

[wild bloom]

yeah

but also it's haz 5 x2 bugs

and there's only 3 of us

[hallow torrent]

still a skill issue

[wild bloom]

that shit scary

actually

you're worng

It's a corestone issue

[white timber]

ice spear feels fair funnier than snowball

[solemn pendant]

no it's definitely skill issue

[hallow torrent]

thats a skill issue

[wild bloom]

:(

it's been so long since i've last seen a crassus

[plain vessel]

nice

you have evaded the ammo tax

[grave citrus]

It's one of my favourite missions it's like the best of salvage and morkite ^.^

It needs some better cave gen but

What it is is very fun

[rigid dock]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/548430/view/494974956983026105

Anyone know if this pickaxe is new? Or were these parts available previously? All the parts look familiar, maybe it's not unique. Or maybe only a unique paint job,

anyone know?

[mossy narwhal]

it looks similar to last years christmas pickaxe, but not really

[fickle pivot]

2 hours into this game: "A Crassus! Nice!"

Barely 20 hours into this game: "Ugh, not another Crassus."

200 hours in: "Ugh. A Crassus when there's two Bronze I players who will attempt to mine the crater."

[delicate tapir]

dude the game is releasing in 2 weeks

why are u looking for alpha invitation now

🥀

[mossy narwhal]

if some of these guys got invited into the playtest they'd instead be annoyed that they have to buy the game to play it in EA 😔

[fickle pivot]

That's how it always is for many games. I was on the Far Far West playtests and now that EA is released, I had to buy it all the same.

Good game btw.

[delicate tapir]

i just got some well paid art comm so im just waiting until 20th now

[frank harness]

so is the new warning a permanent thing or is it event only?

[delicate tapir]

😋

[mossy narwhal]

oh cool its a corestone warning?

I like that

[delicate tapir]

look like it will be around for a while

[mossy narwhal]

we doin season 5 corestone events + corestone warning mission

[frank harness]

does it count towards scrip?

[rugged scroll]

Hey fellow miners, where i can send email or message to dev team or someone who can give answer to me?

[delicate tapir]

🤷‍♂️

[true arch]

sadly not i don't think? cause you can't collect the core stone

[frank harness]

also is there a scrip challenge for season 5 with the new warning?

i wouldnt know, i have em all

[true arch]

it doesn't drop, it just simply drops back into the abyss

[hot coyote]

hello!

[mossy narwhal]

Doubt it

[true arch]

honestly, a shame that the season 5 didn't come with this warning in the first place. Would probably have included it if it did

[delicate tapir]

i wish ss5 event was improved to not just hang on zipline and win

[mossy narwhal]

I haven’t played the new event yet cause I’ve been busy with school and stuff today, is it like corestone where you have to trigger it for corestone enemies to spawn or is it more like ebonite outbreak where there’s just corespawn added to the spawn pool

[frank harness]

it cant be impossible to patch it in?

[frank harness]

its passive

[true arch]

ebonite outbreak yeah

[mossy narwhal]

Wew

[true arch]

i think i'd place it closer to lithophage warning

[frank harness]

they increase when you do trigger it

[mossy narwhal]

That sounds difficult af lmao

Corestone enemies SUCKED in s5

[true arch]

cause if you do kill the core stone, it does stop spawns

[frank harness]

true

[delicate tapir]

i mean core spawn isnt the biggst threat to fight

theyre fast but the only attack u once then retreat

[mossy narwhal]

They move sideways and jump therefore my brain hurts

[frank harness]

i wish we had atleast 1 more corespawn with this

[true arch]

even on haz 3, max player scaled it can get rough since their spawns dramatically increase when its triggered

[mossy narwhal]

The big corestone boy

I forgor its name

[true arch]

would have been too easy to grind the corestone scrips if it did do that

[mossy narwhal]

I can’t wait for rogue core

[frank harness]

clamorhead?

[delicate tapir]

also corespawn weakpoint is their head right?

[mossy narwhal]

Yeah probably

[delicate tapir]

lowk its not that worth it to go for it cuz im pretty it got armor and they move frantically

[frank harness]

i meant enemy family, like a new space chimp

[mossy narwhal]

I gotta finish grinding ffw to complete all the quests and stuff before rogue core comes out

[frank harness]

you have 2 weeks

[mossy narwhal]

School is over next week

So I’m boutta do some serious grinding

[frank harness]

lucky you

[true arch]

ah yeah, it is a shame that they didn't give new enemies for this warning

feels a bit cheap to just have the same enemy from the initial core stone event

[frank harness]

are the crawlers(?) even in rogue core?

like the same way as DRG

[true arch]

not sure but i think it might be as grunts rather than a special spawn

[mossy narwhal]

I think they have significantly less health in rogue core or at least videos make it appear that way

[frank harness]

they are also more grey

[delicate tapir]

i think theyre common enemy lol

[mossy narwhal]

And they probably don’t leave acid pools behind when you kill them

[frank harness]

less ourple

[white timber]

why theyre ourple 😂

[delicate tapir]

also i think they went with color change in rogue core cuz purple is really hard to see especially in biome like azure

[frank harness]

ive seen them as both red and cyan in RC, why is that?

[mossy narwhal]

Something to do with morkite or something idk who knows

[static mortar]

Yes but not as the grunt equivalent, more of a slasher equivalent I think.

[mossy narwhal]

Maybe rogue core will introduce an actual fully grown glyphid dreadnaught boss as opposed to the literal hatchlings we fight in DRG

[frank harness]

the only Glyphid there is is a Bulk, no?

[mossy narwhal]

Currently yeah

[frank harness]

from what ive seen

[mossy narwhal]

And it’s only an event enemy that you don’t really fight, it’s just kinda in a tube or something

[white timber]

i have important question

will rogue core

have a beer

[mossy narwhal]

It has a bar yes

[frank harness]

unique one or in general?

[mossy narwhal]

And a gym

And energy drinks

[frank harness]

wait wha? since when? and where can i see those?

is there a blog post

[mossy narwhal]

I think I saw it in a dev build stream a month or two ago, idk if they ever got added to the playtest, but they were on a bench in the gym

[static mortar]

Making Meave Movers Mepecial (Monster + Leaf Lovers Special)

[frank harness]

maybe its just a prop?

[delicate tapir]

yes our meditation center, a bar

[mossy narwhal]

Nah cause gsg Aaron was drinking them lol

I don’t think they did anything

But they were there

[frank harness]

like the rig also has cans of soder and chinese take out

[delicate tapir]

scout's bay

[frank harness]

also abyss bar

and Hack-c

[mossy narwhal]

i hope rogue core adds games and stuff to the ramrod

[frank harness]

yeah true!

[delicate tapir]

omega will hate that

[frank harness]

other than the gym

hidden games, away from omegas eye...

[mossy narwhal]

as a GAMBLING enjoyer, I'd love blackjack and slot machines in my ship as a way to burn extra credits

[delicate tapir]

reclaimer u are not paid to rot ur brain in those useless games!

[shrewd shore]

yall i unironically think they should delay rogue core slightly

[mossy narwhal]

its early access

[shrewd shore]

might be kinda bad for sales to release right after far far west

[frank harness]

Reclaimers! Ill get you someday!
