escort for stage 3 nooooooo

short haven
#

I'm more worried about the morkite on azure

grim wadi
#

cloaked in the walls?

short haven
#

yes

grim wadi
#

o boi

short haven
#

and the fact that its the "secondary" primary objective, its gonna be hard to find I bet

wraith shard
#

just bring a scout 🧠

lookin like a goo week

#

Low oxygen on stage 3

#

Aieeeeeee

runic relic
#

Low o2 Escort aint the worst, so long as you dont just rely on molly whos 3 rooms behind

#

There better be enough nitra to build a wall from spawn to heart

#

Youre asking for a lot

what are the new deep dives this week?

so boring

#

If you can drink dark morkite beforehand, you shouldn't worry at all

short haven
#

I would but

#

its an edd

#

I'm gonna be drinkin rrb

#

or at least skullcrusher

steel python
#

Fair enough

#

There will be exploders

short haven
#

Plus it is also just for one mission and it isnt even the primary objective

#

I would consider it if it was for all 3 stages

runic relic
#

I drink whatever i can get nice

rugged portal
#

any tip for this week dd/edd

narrow urchin
#

Wait you guys actually wait for the right beer?

untold saddle
#

Normally not but there's currently a glitch that changes the current beer when you reload lobbies

rugged portal
#

you can reroll it

untold saddle
#

So some people just pick the beer they want

narrow urchin
#

Mods ban he

grim wadi
#

ye last edd we just had 2 of us rerolling till one got the beer we want and join that person

short haven
#

just refresh spacerig and a new one appears

supple remnant
#

I just realized it recently when we were finishing missions and there was different beer each time

#

But even if it only does take a few seconds to refresh the lobby each time it just doesn’t see worth to me other if you are trying to get dark morkite or something, like for this edd

dry widget
#

Was this edd a relatively easy one

#

It was my first edd and had a great team we did it under 45 mins

#

is this weeks deep dive pain?

stage 3 got ruined by a bulk spawn oof

dry widget
#

It took out a stage of the dozer

mint sage
#

lost one stage in the rock phase too

narrow urchin
#

just use the repair meme to save doretta from bulk explosion ez

#

also it kills your scout guaranteed

#

win win

rugged portal
#

this week be having hella nitra

narrow urchin
#

i will spend it on on oxygen

south dust
#

yo

rugged portal
#

we have like 11 resup rn

noble storm
#

any way of overheating patrols bots with charged burning nightmare shot?

hushed sequoia
#

no

#

the burning nightmare shots aren't very good for heat on bots anyway

#

normal shots seem quite a bit better with how much cheaper they are and the amount of heat they give

brisk pagoda
#

the heat upgrade for epc sucks, and thats why they merged it with flying nightmare

noble storm

#

does doretta have oxygen tanks on her for low oxygen?

#

or do you have to repeatedly call the mule back

old widget
#

it has tanks

#

In fact all the DRG equipment that MC provides has O2 tanks on it, I think.

#

mule, doretta, supply pods, hacking pods, rock crackers, mineheads, etc.

trim pike
#

okay so not that bad

#

good to know

spare trout
#

what are the missions of deep dive of this week guys?

#

is there refining morkite mission?

rugged portal
#

this week edd is the easiest one yet

#

at least for me

#

we had like 11 resup total on the last stage

#

6-7 left during extraction

spare trout
#

so, what are the missions

rugged portal
#

check pins

spare trout
#

oh, thanjs

can gunners shields stop the escort mission meteor balls from hurting players in it? i cant remember

Yeah if you have max range

grim wadi

ooooooooo noted ty

#

This DD has a perfect name lmao

quiet lark
#

EDD done (and doretta saved). Ended up doing gunner solo for this week

steel python
#

Truly this EDD was very forgiving with nitra and cave generation

#

The only bad thing about it is that it's azure weald and there's too many exploders even without the warning lmao

Woops wrong channel.

drifting hornet
#

Are there any dreadnoughts to fight?

fringe thistle
# drifting hornet Are there any dreadnoughts to fight?

Feel free to check the top pinned message in this channel, they update it every week for the weekly deep dive seeds ^~^

But to answer your question, yes there is a dreadnought classic in both DD and EDD. The deep dive one is shield disruption too, so plan accordingly.

#

Also, stage 1 of the EDD is refinery, and that has like a 3% chance of a wave giving a dreadnought classic as well. So you could potentially fight two bosses during that one lol

#

I recommend to collect at least enough nitra for 1 resupply before fighting the boss, and then wait to pop the egg directly after finishing a swarm. That way you'll have a lull period between waves to fight the dreadnought as relatively safely as possible.

distant vapor
#

How to go in for the first deep dive?
Means, what should I expect and how to prepare as a first timer?

burnt sandal
#

except longer and nitra carry over

idle marsh
distant vapor
#

Understood.

fringe thistle
#

Also no extra events like meteors, hacking pods, etc etc

#

It's literally just gold, nitra, and the two main objectives.

idle marsh
#

Though hacking pods will be used if the first objective is Industrial Sabotage

fringe thistle
#

(again, unless a huuli hoarder spawns)

#

Yes

idle marsh
#

If you have a Black Box second objective, it essentially acts like a non-drop pod adjacent Uplink

fringe thistle
#

Do be wary though, if a boss fight is the secondary objective, you can still get normal waves spawning if the primary objective allows for it (ie aquarq, refinery, etc etc). So watch out for when you start those boss fights if it's specifically the secondary.

distant vapor
#

Sound half boring with no extra events.

fringe thistle
#

Well it's more for the challenge of beating it with all the extra modifiers, and not being able to change your loadout between 3 randomly made missions.

idle marsh
#

Correction: three seeded missions

fringe thistle
#

You've gotta plan for the ENTIRE mission all with one loadout, and if you fail you've gotta start over from the start.

idle marsh
#

The cave layout and spawns generally stay the same

fringe thistle
brisk spear
distant vapor
#

Shame.
Understood, but shame.

fringe thistle
#

So you can plan ahead of time for certain events. For example, a few weeks ago the seed randomly placed a boss egg directly under where the aquarq Minehead came down... So you were forced to fight the twins at the start of the mission stage 2 lol

idle marsh
#

Where's my eye roll emote?

#

I just blocked and reported them, dw

distant vapor

fringe thistle
#

Don't give them attention, just block and report them and move on

#

They want attention

#

Thank you mods ❤️

idle marsh
#

Thanks, mods

#

Anyways, if you want to be "spoiled" on the pathing for this week's Deep Dives, just check the first pinned message for this channel

distant vapor
#

That is probably something I will never do.

#

I like the challenge.

fringe thistle
#

shrug I personally like planning ahead of time to know the general modifiers, but I totally understand wanting the challenge of going in blind

#

It's definitely harder to do so, but rewarding when you still defeat it

distant vapor
#

Indeed.

fringe thistle
brisk pagoda
#

going in blind is a bit annoying for driller since your primary choice is heavily impacted by enemy types

fringe thistle
#

True

#

Just made it to lvl 100 got new armor anyone know if you get more armor at lvl 200 300 400 and so on?

I don't think this is the right channel for that, but I also don't know the answer. Maybe try asking #drg-chat

#

we just lost the EDD at the last stage because a bulk decided to spawn and we had our iron wills depleted because the cave gen fucked with us

brisk pagoda
cunning cedar
#

is cryo driller or flame driller better for extended use for deep dives

brisk pagoda
#

ice has less things that resist it

cunning cedar
#

what are the best mods for it?

#

i think the only overclocks i have are ice storm and improved thermal efficiency

brisk pagoda
#

none of the ice overclocks are horrible. i would say the least impressive one is flow rate expansion.

#

ice spear would be the generalist choice for covering the most situations, ice storm has good damage but can be a bit ammo hungry, tuned cooler and thermal efficiency are slightly more ammo efficient, and snowball is nice against mactera, breeders, menaces and spitballers.

cunning cedar
#

awesome!! thank you :D

brisk pagoda
#

i would reccomend almost always taking cold radiance. shatter doesnt help much for anything other than guards while playing solo, so if you only play solo, shatter is ok with like thermal efficincy or tuned cooler. beyond that, going max ammo is the easy option for everything not ice storm. for ice storm id say pick either damage or range and grab 1 ammo. on ice storm you should also always use cold radiance.

There’s a good reason the only clean OC on Cryo is BIS for certain purposes (and general use)

Like LazyMaybe

oh I started watching him too

tame beacon
pliant yoke
#

As in, this meant that I brought up the only clean overclock for Cryo as possibly the “best” general use overclock, but that’s not to say other options can’t work

#

That clean overclock is called Improved Thermal Efficiency

#

ahh

#

my problem in deep dives is that my team keeps getting swarmed so maybe cc is the best answer

i sit the drillers job to overheat rival machenes?

do deep dives count towards season pass missions?

if I have a season pass mission to play as engie and play a deep dive, does it count

heady axle
#

pretty sure it doesn't

rustic sierra
#

that sucks

hushed sequoia
#

thought it counts as like 1 missions worth of season xp

#

so around 2k

rustic sierra

yea but I'm talking about the season pass objectives

hushed sequoia

no

#

asfor the other sludge pump mods, they don't matter?

#

and how strong is the effect of sludge on dreadnoughts? I tried a single target build on an eliminate mission and the slowdown didn't seem that impactful

brisk pagoda
#

goo upgrades are mostly preference. for the purpose of easy to use, keeping things slowed, id would say use 32221

tame beacon

(i don't have any sludge OCs yet sadly)

(so you can switch to join a classlocked server)

burnt sandal
#

and you can join a class upon connecting into the lobby

grim wadi
#

ah right ok, i guess the greyed out ones are already inprogress matches? or...... no......

#

yeah theyre apparently in progress ones, seems unintuitive to show those at all if you could never join them unless you lost connection and need to reconnect, weird

#

whew, took 2 attempts for EDD, both were a mess

#

first attempt second stage 2 people popped an egg as i ran up to a mule, so that was a wave, a mini wave, and a mule trigger unannounced wave, no chance

#

second one we almost all died due to 1 guy going down 20 times in total blessem, on stage 3 lured us into a rolly boi death grinder where 2-3 of them kept redowning us, everyone spent their iron will to get us back alive lol, final part got reeeeaaaaaaallllll close too

#

150 ping didnt help but playing at 2am in uk will limit my options

this weeks edd HURTS

#

even as a gunner elite mactera are the fuckin worst

#

i recommend bullet hell stun build, stops them in their tracks (edit: elite cant be stunned oh fuck)

fierce silo
#

BULLET HELL?

grim wadi
#

i started using it last EDD and during some haz 5, last haz 5 we played not a single mactera was able to shoot lol

fierce silo
#

have you tried it against elite mactera?

grim wadi
#

hrm, i focused my shots on those, i dont recal much issue until we died to a triple wave

wraith shard
#

have you tried aiming the mingun at the mactera and killing them instantly

fierce silo
#

mactera

grim wadi
#

i do wonder now what the stun chance is like against elite tho

fierce silo
#

the ones that move really fast

#

and charge up shots within less than a second

grim wadi
#

they still stay still for moments

fierce silo
#

and with alot a health

#

yeah i have what about it

wraith shard

grim wadi
#

hrm, few sources saying elite cant be stunned, interesting

#

why the fuck wild you use bullet hell in the first place

wraith shard
#

memeing/fun

grim wadi
#

shreds swarms, got it from a haz 6x2 build

fierce silo
#

whyre you stealing peoples builds brotha

#

not that it's a bad thing

#

but like

grim wadi
#

i like to minmax xD

fierce silo
#

you have more than one upgrade for each tier

#

you can experiment

grim wadi
#

like to see what builds survive in the more insane difficulties

wraith shard
#

bullet hell in 6x2 is only for a cryo team

fierce silo
#

dude if you really want aoe focused minigun use burning hell and hot bullets

#

not

#

BULLET@HELL

grim wadi
#

thats true, i was a burning hell build before that

#

it was also pretty great

fierce silo
#

it was better

#

i can assure you it was

grim wadi
#

the stun stopped all the swarms in their tracks, with the bullet bouncing, i think thats why it was so good, build was also for a solo no bosco play

#

kept teams alive pretty easily in haz 5 games

#

not a fan of its ammo tho

that's where I can have funnnn

its unhealthy

and not very practical

agile gull
#

Last 2 dives I’ve gotten the first 2 levels done and the third failed

#

Tbh I’m feeling like I should get a group of 4 engis and I could do it

hybrid grail
#

maybe

agile gull
#

Just did that on a haz 4 mission and it made it feel like haz 1

#

So easy with 4 engi

hybrid grail

4 engis have pretty insane dps

hybrid grail
#

you could try setting that up but I usually just keep trying at it until I beat it or the next week starts, and I haven't had the latter happen yet

agile gull
#

Ah

#

Part of me wants to keep doing it and the other part doesn’t think it’s worth it to suffer that much for the cosmetic overclock

hybrid grail
#

For me its a lot more about the completion than progressing, feels nice to know you were able to beat some of the most difficult stuff the game can throw at you and it gives me a bit of confidence for the next edd

agile gull
#

That’s true

#

Though it’s not as important for me currently just cause im only lvl 50 something so I’ve got more stuff to do before feeling the need to complete those all the way

hybrid grail
#

yeah

#

I would try to focus a bit on getting good builds and playing normal deep dives or other missions before hopping into edds instead of forcing anything before you feel more comfortable

agile gull
#

Yea

#

Got the normal dives down

hybrid grail
#

I'm around lvl 50 aswell but I've been following the discord chats and youtube videos a lot recently to learn about the game some more, and trying to solo haz 5 or normal deep dives has helped me improve a bit

agile gull
#

I haven’t been looking up any good builds and such cause I want to figure it out for myself

#

Mostly just want to spend more time in the game

#

So fun and I don’t wanna run out of things to do in drg lol

hybrid grail
#

agreed

#

making builds and experimenting with them has been some of the most fun i've had with the game, and I'm sure there's a lot more depth to making builds than I know about so i'm not too worried about running out of content

agile gull
#

Yeah

#

Currently my favorite build is full damage LOK-1 and microwave beam for engi

#

Also been playing with the repellent for platforms and that’s been fun to build bunkers and mess with glyphid pathfinding

#

But there is still so many over clocks for me to discover

#

That’s the main thing I’m excited for honestly

hybrid grail
#

same

#

I still have to finish the edd for this week so i'm probably gonna hop off for now, its getting late for me

The EDD this week was one of the easiest ones we've had in weeks tbh.

And since it was just 1 Dread, went Tuned Cooler + Persistent Plasma. Full AoE.

Didn't realize the Engi took spinning death so it was funny watching the Dread in persist pl. + spin de.

#

Was going for a no death run but died 1 time on stage 2 to an elite Mactera who appeared behind me while I was drilling 😩

#

Also got Carpet Bomber. But honestly don't see why I would take that direct -7 to damage when splintering shells is a viable clean.

Then in the context of Neurotoxin Payload + Fear mod. That is just seems like a more broken CC option.

And also Fragmentation Missiles + Stun Mod + All AoE build for rocket launcher just covers haz 5 crowds at both short and long range so easily. Which just in general seems like a better pick (unless you like autocannon that much).

Will still give it several runs tho. I'm curious. Could be better than I think. 🤔

and it can miss target even at close range

but well ntp now got the same aoe radius as carpet bomber so no reason to use both

Hm yes, bulk dets aren't supposed to spawn on escort duties

But apparently on deep dives they're allowed to spawn

Pain

grim wadi
#

yep

#

we lost 2 parts on doretta and then the bulk showed up, if i hadent made sure he was kited away we probably would have failed riiiiiiiiiight at the end

lean mantle

#

And we failed the final stage of the edd

#

After spending 20 minutes looking for the final bit of morkite as well

grim wadi

thats gotta hurt

#

Yeah

#

Everyone left after that

grim wadi
#

sometimes you just gotta go afk and lie on the floor face down for a bit

I'll try the edd later today but right now

I'm not feeling it

bulks can spawn on escort, who said they couldn't? cause they're wrong as shit

sick yarrow
#

Never heard anyone say they can’t

supple remnant
#

someone a little bit ago did

#

they can and do spawn on escort

sick yarrow
lean mantle
#

I remember someone saying bulks can't spawn on escort duties because they can shred through the armor quickly

#

But only now do I recall it's haunted cave, not bulks entirely

#

Either ways, bulks really shouldn't be able spawn on escort duty but I guess they do

#

Because it sucks on that particular mission type far more than others

supple remnant
#

It’s generally not terrible though

#

Like sure it sucks that you will likely lose part of the drilldozer unless you can kite it well

#

But it’s easy enough to beat escort missions without losing a piece of dotty

#

And even more easy to win without losing all the pieces of dotty

#

But fair point

coral pond
#

had a really lucky incident on my edd run today on that escort stage. Bulk spawned during heartstone, circled it entirely around the heartstone, and it's explosion went off right next to dotty during that very slight immunity period after fixing her completely, so no lost part :D

#

Yeah haunted cave on escort is the one that’s not possible

Doretta just didn't have any health after that and the bulk deleted us during the heartstone

this week's edd way too easy

was hoping for a challenge

#

one of them was very nice, asked about whether it's ok to be inexperienced and weak before going into EDD, I said I don't care really about that as long as we can communicate, since I believe coordination is like 70% of success and I even turn on my mic for that

#

2 can carry 2 others pretty easily, but yeah it's kinda rough with 3, though at the other hand, it becomes quite thrilling and challenging at times, and they have these thrilling moments as well, rather than getting an easy ride through "hard" difficulty

wraith shard
#

I do find it quite fun to carry greenbeards usually but at the same time I want to beat the EDD lol

#

guess I just needed to carry harder 🧠

supple remnant
#

for me it depends

wraith shard
#

skill issue on my part

rapid haven
#

thoughts on fat boy on edd, I feel like it does more harm than good

supple remnant
#

last edd i had been busy that week and it was late af and i did not feel like carrying greenbeards

rapid haven
#

do I just take clean or breach

wraith shard
#

ever since I unlocked deep dives last november I have completed every single one since

wraith shard
#

use inferno if you have it

tulip idol
#

uh... for me it's more about spending a good time together, since after everything's unlocked winning isn't that meaningful, rather than being purely symbolic

rapid haven
#

also am I crazy to think that rj250 jumping power is really weak

#

I thought I would go farther

supple remnant
#

yeah

rapid haven
#

idk if im using it wron

supple remnant
#

it can launch you very far

#

you are jumping before you use it right?

rapid haven
#

yea but still feels kinda meh

#

ik if u dash u go far

wraith shard
#

jump and shoot as you're ascending

tulip idol
supple remnant
#

it feels pretty good to me maybe u just need to work on timing a bit

#

or rather positioning

rapid haven
#

yea I prob shot it more when im at peak of the jump

tulip idol
#

if you jump during dash, you'll have like 960 cm/s and then you get 1000-1500 as bonus to that

tacit jungle
tulip idol
#

the closer you to explosion the more you get from rj

#

like from perpendicular wall you'll get 1500 easily, but from the ground it's mostly near 1 thousand cm/s

#

you can also do double nade, if there's enough space for it above, which is very rare

rapid haven
#

prob going to go back to breach cutter

#

fat boy made be go back tp plg

tulip idol
#

oh and driller can also put a c4 in the air to boost your rj jumps

rapid haven
#

hyper does less damage than I thought too

#

tho ig it does have more ammo

#

than fat boy

tulip idol
#

rj is enough for the most part

#

definitely the most suitable build on point extraction

#

may be on refinery as well, though I like spinning death safety more while repairing the pipes

#

enemies spawn on ceiling, walls which is very good case for pgl

#

they come down from pillars which is also pgl case

huh why do turrets get ammo back between dd mission

tacit jungle
#

same with gunner shields and possibly satchels, it's a long standing bug

wise cosmos
#

how do you deal with the elite mactera swarm solo

brisk pagoda
supple remnant
wise cosmos
#

alr

supple remnant
#

Kill them asap so there’s not too many at once and use bosco’s rockets when you can

#

And something else I don’t see mentioned a lot is make sure you reload your weapon whenever you can rather than always just shooting until it auto reloads

#

Sometimes it’s better to go ahead and reload half of your clip if there’s not much going on

wise cosmos
#

okkk

#

The last thing you want is 2 goo bombers and 5 tri jaws above you while you are trying to reload and run away from a grabber

The one with the eggs right

#

yuh

supple remnant
#

Idk it didn’t seem terrible

wise cosmos
#

elite + mactera swarm

supple remnant
#

Mactera was annoying yeah

wise cosmos
#

one elite triglaw ruins your run entirely

supple remnant
#

Gunner shields helped a lot on that stage

#

Are you doing solo

wise cosmos
#

yuh as driller once

#

and then i was like frick it

supple remnant
#

Ah

#

I don’t do solo much but yeah mactera does suck solo imo

burnt sandal
#

driller would have an annoying time on stage 3
and gunner on stage 1

so i guess engi is the best pick overall on that EDD

wise cosmos
#

my usual solution for edd as driller would go to freeze radiance and then cannonball towards the mactera swarm

#

praying to god that they dont shoot me

#

and i freeze them on time

burnt sandal
#

(I don't count scout because refinery + escort is pain)

#

I doubt elite mactera OS you from full life tho

#

gotta eat that red sugar

#

anyway, if you're just having trouble with the macteras, I think gunner is the best pick to deal with them : the shield + the explosive resistance armor mod is very helpful (trijaws deal explosive damage with their annoying shots).

#

FIY btw : elite enemies don't deal more damage so you're either tanking the trijaw triple shots or you're not healing after going down. I suppose it's the later, in which case, the Sweeth Tooth perk could be really useful to get some life after going down.

wise cosmos
#

Yea im probably doing both, but like, as driller, i feel like when i see elite triglaw im forced to pretty much cannon ball the mactera mist

burnt sandal
#

Honestly cryo is pretty terrible for macteras outside of snowball

wise cosmos
#

And since like, theres 30 triglaws, why do they need to aim

#

they could just like, fart on you, and you die

burnt sandal
#

mactera are freeze resistant, despite dying upon being frozen, so it takes some time to freeze them outside of snowball

#

Meanwhile flamer/goo can just shoot at them, run away and let them die

wise cosmos
#

i didnt know they were freeze resistant

burnt sandal
#

and have -100% resistant to fire and corrosive damage

#

they're really weak to DoT

wise cosmos
#

wait, with the snowball ( cause i just got it yesterday) what seperates their function from ice spear, because ii saw a video where one person froze an oppressor and then oneshot the oppresor with an icicle

#

can the snowball do the same?

burnt sandal
#

Snowball is just a big ball of freezing power
ice spear is just big damage on one target

wraith shard
burnt sandal
#

snowball just freeze enemies (think of it like as if your cryo cannon was able to shoot the cryo nade of the scout)

wise cosmos
#

I see

burnt sandal
#

it's pretty good for macteras and for freezing big pack of enemies quickly but that's about it

wise cosmos
#

Ill bring snwoball for now on for my hatred against flying enemies

#

well i pair it with cwc, once i do the freezy either they are fated with getting drilled or being cooked alive

burnt sandal
#

it can be ammo intensive so don't go spamming it all day long

wise cosmos
#

alright, well, thanks

stone yacht
# coral pond In regards of carpet bomber vs splintering shells; https://youtu.be/lmxKCQwa1Dc

I actually had that video to save later. Good watch. Ty.

The only reason I could see taking Carpet Bomber over Neurotoxin is if u don't take the Tier 5 fear mod and wanted the one that increases ur defense by 50%

Then u stack it with veteran Depositor for another 30% (and then also environmental Insulation)...in that regard I can see a tanky, carpet bomber build.

Because I feel like neurotoxin makes the most sense with fear.

Just a take 🤔

#

But u would lose out on the tier 5 additional AoE at maximum RoF with tank Carpet. But if u go with that RoF mod, and didn't want a tanky build, then I just see neurotoxin + fear as the better pick.

What's the deep dives for this week

Wait nv

theyre always updated

modern mist
#

Are DDs randomly spawned each instance or is it the same run for everyone for the week?

supple remnant
#

same run for everyone

#

theres still rng elements as in the bugs wont spawn in the exact same spot and one person could get a bulk one run and you might not

#

but that bulk would still have a chance of spawning if you did it again if that makes sense

modern mist
#

I believe so. It's structurally the same, but bugs are going to do bug things

@unkempt perch i do recommend to try to find a fun group in this server for the deep dive if you are willing to talk in vc. It makes it not only a lot more enjoyable, but easier due to communication and preventing misunderstandings.

If you feel comfortable enough to join a vc, you can use either #lfg-steam or #lfg-modded-steam to make a post requesting a group, or even attempt to join a group! Now of course, you don't have to join a vc, and you dont need to explain your reasons. If you want a group without vc simply post something like "no vc" in the lfg message. Most people here are really friendly, and we love helping out our fellow greenbeards. Rock and Stone!

I've been playing this game for 2.5k hrs with pubs, the only times I have been kicked is still only counted with one hand

anyway yes i like to kick people if they dont know what to do, but i ask them to do what they dont know to do first

#

if they dont communicate or refuse thats when they get kicked

Yea

distant kestrel
#

Ik

#

I just worded it poorly

random rampart
#

the fps the game runs on is determined by the hardware of your computer. if the host's pc isnt the best to handle a full party match, then theres gonna be a little bit of lag on all joining parties

distant kestrel
#

How many interactions can be made a second

random rampart
#

depends on the host's pc's processing speed and capability.

#

choosing the player with the beefiest pc as host will get you better results as far as processing gets you

#

because it will give less lag to the joining player

#

of course, it also has to take into account the network speed you have and such

#

so having the best middle ground is the way to go

#

a player with the best pc but poor internet wont surely be much different from a player with a poorly performing pc but godlike internet

I was just talking to Pedro about it and it was as I assumed. Everything should be tick bound

#

I just did my fist ever solo deep dive think I did pretty good only one down

Ok

#

Now I have 5 cores and I’m just trying to spend them lol

I did my first deep dive today and we immediately got wiped by a crassus detonator 🙃

Dang that sucks

Oof

primal venture
#

Where was the brood nexus on the last stage of the DD?

#

Never found it

restive bone
#

I think it was up in a tunnel somewhere

#

like above one of the large chambers

#

Can you sign off after completing one mission of the DD and then sign back in and pick up where you left off? I am guessing that you can't, but I wanted to be sure.

How much different is EDD vs DD?

#

Is it complete night/day difference in terms of difficulty and length?

#

If you click Start on a DD, if you never enter the ship, can you still switch to a different mission or will you forfeit DD for this week?

#

I clicked start and I've been waiting for my wife to be ready to play, but at this point it might be getting too late to commit to doing a DD run. I might need to switch it to a different mission

#

I'm still at mission control and have not stepped foot into the ship

frail patrol
#

go to the board and pick a mission

round cedar
#

Ok so I can still switch it out. That's good to know.

#

and you can't "forfeit" a DD, either - you'll be able to do the current week's dive until the reset

#

What about the rewards?

#

I want to make sure that I don't lose out on the rewards because I think you get a core or OC or something like that

#

if I remember right

#

First stage of the DDs are blank cores, second is weapon OCs, third is cosmetics

#

Also, there isn’t a major loss of exp and gold if you don’t complete a deep dive, so if you cant get the last stage it’s not a big deal as it’s just a cosmetic and you’ll only lose about a missions worth of gold and exp.

#

If you have all weapon OCs, does it give you a cosmetic, or a blank, for stage 2? Never paid attention tbh

scarlet ravine
#

you get a blank

wraith shard
#

blank sadly

#

I'm getting more blanks than I can use

#

#

what could go wrong

solar anvil
#

is it just me or have the deep dives gotten a lot harder recently? I've been consistently failing the recent ones when I used to be able to finish

wraith shard
#

maybe bad teammates?

#

how about no

slender flame
#

rude lol

wraith shard
#

sir this is deepdive discussion

strange cargo
#

this is my second time trying to play with randoms and second time getting kicked...

#

Im starting to think this is less dissimilar to tf2's mvm than I thought 😅😅😅😅😅😅

wraith shard
#

duping classes is fine

#

and kicking people for playing their preferred class is bozo behaviour

#

but at the end of the day their lobby their rules

#

so move on and find another game

strange cargo
#

I've gotten kicked for killing a loot bug on the first ever deep dive, and now killed for only having a promoted engineer on my third.... (my second I played with friends and didn't interact with randoms)

#

I dunno sorry to bug

#

just thought it was funny given the chat I had earlier in here

#

How are you finding these terrible lobbies so consistently?

#

I either host or join pubs all the time and I've had a bad experience maybe twice.

#

200 hours in.

wraith shard
#

I host most of my lobbies

strange cargo
wraith shard
#

works well

olive flicker
#

Hosting definitely works well, can confirm.

strange cargo
#

just promoted my engineer yesterday

#

was super hype!

timid elbow
#

I've never hosted a deep dive & never been kicked. 300+ hours been doing the DD & EDD every week for at least 6 months always with random players

#

Tbf I usually solo dd/edd.

wraith shard
olive flicker
#

Only hosted it once.

#

not the DD

#

overclocks

strange cargo
#

all my overclocks for for scout....

#

and I only play engineer....

#

😢

#

😅

#

I dunno- I tend to either be super lucky or super unlucky

#

rarely anything in-between

timid elbow
#

overclocks aren't that clutch for like 23/24 of the weapons TBH
