[normal herald]

Oh, I see

[ionic steeple]

When you're 5 minutes away from finishing the EDD, then your power goes out 👍

[tiny hollow]

when do yall recomend a nub to try elite deep dive?

[open ledge]

Maybe after you’ve tried a few Haz 5s

Get used to the tempo and higher stat enemies

Or just full send it, go balls deep

Bring some friends and do trial by fire

[tacit jungle]

You probably want to be able to do haz 5 missions consistently to avoid wasting your teammates' time

[cunning walrus]

Second edd in a row where my teammates disconnected after finishing the third stage

Some sort of bug that disconnects them

Happened twice in a row

[tiny hollow]

i dont have any friends.. actually no i have 1 friend who plays drg, but he usually plays with his friends who plays drg

[untold saddle]

Whenever you want too

[severe tusk]

If you're good at Haz 4, EDDs shouldn't be much of an issue. If you are really worried about not being good enough in a team, you can just look to join public lobbies that are OK with newer players or host one saying that you are a new player. A lot of people don't mind helping out greenbeards.

[runic ocean]

so i did a deep dive a whle back and i remembered it so i might well talk about it here so it had 3 Crassus Detonator. 3 bulk detonators at the same time 5 times in a row. a Prospector Drone and a Korlok Tyrant-Weed also two bet-cs and a lithophage meteorite and we some how won it was pain👍

[untold saddle]

I don't think a crassus can spawn in deep dives

[drowsy scroll]

just had the darndest thing

[drowsy scroll]

everyone had left my mission at the very last deep dive mission

edd

but turns out they were all force disconnected?

2 managed to reconnect

not sure what happened

[dense sage]

known issue this week, it’s weird

[eager flame]

Maaaan, i'm so sad, was in an EDD as gunner, engie dc'd on first stage, driller on second, it was only me and a scout, dude died in an impossible spot to revive on third stage, i pressed the button as guarantee if i wasnt able to revive him, couldnt do it no matter what i tried, had to leave him behind to complete the mission and still got flamed for not reviving him and pressing the button

[fluid cliff]

that’s silly

you saved the mission

scout should maybe be less bad

[deft lotus]

Guys I got a problem.
It looks like I can't normally connet into the 3rd stage of EDD this week(Yeah, the last week was normal).
If I host the game, it make me to solo. If I joined others, I just get disconnected. Is there anyone have the same problem as me?

[void stump]

This week’s edd last stage is hard, but only you don’t know where the morkite veins are laying about

[ancient cove]

It's a know bug, and I don't understand why devs hasn't react yet and made no annoucements

It happens to everyone

[zenith ember]

no one really cares how many dwarves survive in EDD, only if the mission is passed
Its the scout's fault for dying at a location where its unreachable & without IW to boot, its his fault and likely skill issue

[deft lotus]

Ahhh Thanks!! I have tried about 10 times and frustrated now.

[ancient cove]

I wrote a solution how to reconnect back to the host

[deft lotus]

I can reconnect to the host in EDD? Damn, never know about it. I thought only normal mission is possible.

[ancient cove]

You can, with a workaround

[deft lotus]

Okay I just figured it out. Thanks

[eager flame]

Ik, it is just sad to get flamed like that, worst thing was that it could all go down the drain if he was a bit more petty and kicked me

[placid musk]

i mean it's just a week, they probably don't want to dedicate an entire hotfix just for one edd

[ancient cove]

yeah, but they should inform people. Look in the history of this channel

Everyone has this problem

[placid musk]

idk man

screw the cosmetic

i'mma go promote my team

[cunning walrus]

Same happened here twice in a row

[deft lotus]

True. Its just an announce. That would really help a lot

[untold saddle]

I think the devs didn't work this Friday, and now it's weekend.

There was only half a day while this bug was in the game and the devs were in the office. That's not enough time to realize this issue exists

[ornate harness]

just came here to say the same thing

[weak notch]

me too

the third stage is cursed

secret modifier: loneliness

[ancient cove]

read channel history

[woeful niche]

last stage is bugged

[lost dagger]

Being solo in the final stage actually makes it so much easier cuz Bosco can get the aquarqs for you, and you most likely have 2-4 resupplies ready all for yourself (and extra nitra on the map)

[ancient cove]

Easier or not, 3 other dwarfs lost their progress

[zenith ember]

the morkite was painful as solo gunner tbh

[earnest crag]

so im guesing they still haven't fixed the edd?

what about regular deep dive?

[arctic plover]

Regular dd is fine

Just something about loading stage 3 of edd that doesn’t agree with non-hosts

[viral ingot]

I don't know where to post it, but to people who I was playing elite deep dive with and were kicked out on the last stage - I'm very sorry but electricity went out and I want to apologize for that frustration and inconvenience

[short charm]

Me and one more simply just rejoined the mission and plopped back into the 3rd stage. Even after clicking no to rejoining (thought the host crashed), I was able to rejoin via the Steam friends menu anyways. Im glad the game recognizes when it fucks up.

[viral ingot]

Yeah, but electricity shortage lasted for about an hour or so, yes sometimes it's possible to rejoin, but in this case it's just impossible

[tame thicket]

Question: what do I need to know going into a deep dive? Just got promoted yesterday and wasn't sure what to expect. Any advice?

[soft token]

im running 22111 overdrive booster as my shard diffractor

if i wanted to run voltaic smg as my primary what should i use

i have every overclock

rn im using 21211 well oiled machine

[soft token]

its three missions back to back, each with two of the standard mission objectives
check pins in this channel to see which ones for which dives

[random rampart]

adding to last comment: regular deep dives' hazard levels for the missions are 3/3.5/3.5, and elite's are 4.5/5/5.5

so a recommendation is to keep practicing on the dive's hazard level until you get comfortable in it, so you can do it with no issues

[cloud iris]

isnt it 3.5-4-4.5?

[random rampart]

no

[cloud iris]

2 3.5?

[random rampart]

no

[wild warren]

mb

[random rampart]

3/3.5/3.5 for dd, 4.5/5/5.5 for edd

[turbid dawn]

https://deeprockgalactic.fandom.com/wiki/Deep_Dives

[cloud iris]

i know

i just checked

[turbid dawn]

info is king

wiki has everything

including health scaling

[reef valley]

y'all

i didnt make it to deep dives yet, is it fun?

[grim wadi]

the funnest

[wraith shard]

Just be careful with ammo idk
Normal dd is 3-4 has lvl when edd is 5-5.5 haz
(Promoted 2 days ago)

[reef pine]

Deep dives are very fun

[tame thicket]

Is it easy to get people joining? I've only done public games up until now, and it has been awesome.

[wraith shard]

Ye

Just go to dd and press join

[wraith shard]

And very rewarding

But I got 2 times dc'ed from 3rd mission edd T_T

[tame thicket]

Going to try later today, wish me luck.

[wraith shard]

Gl

[reef pine]

Good luck

One tip: don't bother mining gold

The payout is very small compared to the normal payout you get from deep dives

[ancient cove]

Please guys, spread the word to other dwarves.
ALL people will lose the connection to the host, in the loading screen to the third stage of the Elite Deep Dive. It's now a known bug this week.
Before you start an EDD, tell everyone how to reconnect, in case they don't get the "Reconnect" button. Most people don't get the option, but can get in over Steam:
#deep-dive-discussion message

[ancient cove]

Anyone who want to finish or simply play EDD. I will host a 8 dwarfs lobby again soon.
Trying to get as much people as possible through the EDD.
Bugs scale with extra player count, resupply cost 10 nitra less for each additional player after 4.
So don't expect it to be easy. First mission is generally very easy. But second and third is where stuff hits the fan.

[smoky steeple]

If i have time the shure im in

And what time woud it be

[ancient cove]

Pretty soon, in 10-20min. I'm downloading a game, when it's done I'll go to DRG

[wraith shard]

Do I need to install mods?

[ancient cove]

no

[wraith shard]

Or how can u create 8 dwarf lobby

[ancient cove]

server side mod

[wraith shard]

Understood

I ll also be there

[ancient cove]

ready?

[ancient cove]

ready?

I'm asking, because the lobby might become pretty fast full

[smoky steeple]

Rn

Or what

@ancient cove

[ancient cove]

yes

[smoky steeple]

Im ready

What's the lobby name

And dose it have a password

[ancient cove]

Lobby name: "Join to learn how to reconnect EDD in progress!"

No password

[smoky steeple]

Im in

[wraith shard]

ыефкештп еру пфьу

starting the game

i cant find or the lobby is full

[ancient cove]

Elite Deep Dive? "Join to learn how to reconnect EDD in progress!"
I'm in middle Europe

[wraith shard]

oh sec

[ancient cove]

2 places left

[wraith shard]

connected

[untold saddle]

Use wiki.gg instead of fandom

[dense cradle]

Hello I would like to try deep dive soon and two of my friends are scout main can we still play all together or does one of them have to take another class

[pulsar jacinth]

You can play all scout if you want 🙂

[dense cradle]

oh that's awesome

[pulsar jacinth]

its up to the host

[dense cradle]

ok nice to hear that

[ancient cove]

Yeah, but you can only play with classes that are promoted

[dense cradle]

yeah I know

thanks

[ancient cove]

I'm hosting again. EDD Lobby name: [Mod] 8 Dwarfs but balanced! EDD won't be easy!

[dense pebble]

is the disconnect bug fixed?

[untold saddle]

No, and I wouldn't expect it to get fixed untill the next reset

[dense pebble]

fair enough

scout or gunner for solo would you say

[untold saddle]

I'd say scout but the escort might be difficult

[severe finch]

Oh. Ohhhhh boy

Alright so. EDD. Started woth 4 players, had one disconnect on stage 1 but otherwise we're going fine

Stage 2 was actually pretty good despite low o2, though I did go down once or twice

And then stage 3. Drop pod lands, I ping some nitra... and Bosco goes out to retrieve it

[coral pond]

I'd recommend gunner over scout for a solo edd like this one. Gunner has far stronger swarm clear for it, and if you somehow end up with a dread spawn you have the firepower and ammo capacity to deal with it quickly

[severe finch]

The other two lads dc'd while loading stage 3. This is gonna be a doozy

[severe finch]

Little late to change classes now, but we'll see what I can do
You're responding to someone else, I have no brain cells

[ancient cove]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[median haven]

Just curious if you were able to solo the edd. I had a group going where the same thing happened at the start of stage 3. I was able to reconnect through my friends list just in time, but we didnt manage it with just 2 of us lol

[ancient cove]

Depending on your classes, it is mostly easier with Bosco

Because all the Morkite is in hard reaching places, where Scout have a hard time to reach without Engis platforms. But at the same time Engi has not the best kit to keep kiting bugs without a shield

[severe finch]

dang. If only I could read

[ancient cove]

If you're Scout and have bosco on third EDD with no shields. Best way to win, is to grabble hook all around and let Bosco deal with mobs. Then let Bosco do mining and bringing Aquarqa

[severe finch]

Took a break, but working on it right now.
For the record, loadout is Driller w Goo Bomber Special sludge, Gamma Contamination wave cooker, springloaded ripper, and both drills and c4 focused on mining

You definitely need either resupplier or sweet tooth for stage 3. No other way to get around the lack of shield

Thankfully had resupplier on me, but sweet tooth would've been nice with how much red sugar was available
Anyways, took 12 minutes but got the Aquarqs and Morkite necessary. Just gotta survive...

Done it

[solemn hollow]

gunner definitely, especially if you run the AoE mods on the shield. you can drop it on doretta to completely protect her while you repair

[dense pebble]

ended up doing it in a public lobby, warned the host we'd all DC and I assume it all went fine

we had three bulks spawn on stage 2

fortunately my team understood to kite them away from Doretta

[digital oasis]

Tried today EDD with my friend
It was a wild ride... We failed at stage 3, cause we couldn't find morkite anywhere

Is it hidden somewhere or like what is wrong with it

Whole thing took us too long and swarms wiped out butts after one unfortunate death

We played Eng and driller

Any advice how to handle deep dive as 2 man squad ?

[manic pivot]

_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
We are hearing rumors that some dwarves are still not done with this weeks Deep Dives!
We want to remind you that there's only half a week left until our scanners pick up new missions!

[flat forge]

whats difference betwen deep dives and regular missions are deep dives (regullar) like hazard 3 or 5?

nvm

found answer

[dense sage]

Deep dives are 3 missions in a row where your nitra and resources carry over

[flat forge]

oo that sounds fun

oh deep dives arent that bad

[wraith shard]

what are the missions for the elite deep dive?

I only know the first one, being morkite and mini mules

nvm, I see it pinned

[sly sky]

Had a Huli Hoarder on 1st and 3rd stage of the reg DD, very rock and stone

[cedar pike]

I'm not even bothering with edd this week since it disconnects everyone on stage 3

[alpine smelt]

You should be able to reconnect.

My friend got DC'd, but then he was able to reconnect.

Very quickly too.

[acoustic ferry]

can someone please remind me of the hazard scaling for both DD types?
I just finished my first elite, and I'm curious.

[alpine smelt]

3 / 3.5 / 3.5

4.5 / 5 / 5.5

[acoustic ferry]

thank you

[flint vector]

Oh I thought it was 5/5/5.5 , neat that it works like that

I wonder if they will let us unlock a potential 6th difficulty

[woeful niche]

the demand for it is pretty low so unlikely

you’ll just have to do mods if you want haz 6 and higher

the difference between haz 5 and haz 5.5 isn’t really that big considering pretty much every time you go into haz 5.5 you’ll have at least 1 or 2 reaupplies off the jump

[flint vector]

Are there approved mods for that?

I was thinking more like an Easter egg

You have to do every mission type in every biome on hazard 5 and you unlock hazard 6 type deal

Orrrrrrrrrr dumb idea nvm

[coral pond]

pretty sure those mods are sandbox, not approved

[woeful niche]

approved ofc

check out #modded-drg-chat or one of the modding servers if ur interested

[restive patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-mr-krabs-ring-the-bell-ringing-bell-gif-16270849

give it up for day 4 of bugged elite dive

might just do it solo tbh

[flint vector]

It's easier solo

[restive patrol]

[cloud grove]

.

[ripe comet]

We just played stage 3 of the normal deep dive, and couldn't find the 7th aquar... anyone else experienced this?

[grim wadi]

its in a separate cave you have to dig to

[ripe comet]

motherf-

ok thanks

[grim wadi]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[ripe comet]

is that it on the top left?

[grim wadi]

yeah mid-top left there i think

ive not yet tried it, but my body is ready

[ripe comet]

😄

cheers

[ashen yacht]

Who here needs a friend

[round beacon]

Unless spitballers or wind fissures change their positions, there is a sad spitballer on the third stage of EDD which is permanently frozen.

[velvet raptor]

are deep dives hard? Going to unlock them today

[round beacon]

Regular is hazard 3 - 3.5 - 4, elite is 4.5 - 5 - 5.5. Granted, all the nitra you didn't use is transferred to the next mission. Also the cave is set once and until deep dives change, so retrying is easier. @velvet raptor

[woeful niche]

regular is 3, 3.5, 3.5

[round beacon]

Oh, that's why it's so easy

[little halo]

i like normal DD. If i fail an EDD past stage 2, i'm usually frustrated and don't have much time left in my play session. Normal DD becomes a great reliever.

[woeful niche]

welcome back maru

now play haz 8x2

[still geode]

finally, balanced minelayer

[ancient cove]

Wait, is minelayer op?
I tried it only once and didn't like it

[still geode]

extremely blatantly

its a 2.75x damage increase and a 1.5x radius increase

with no meaningful downsides

[pliant yoke]

But you are now playing a board game with the glyphids, or, at least you can opt in to play one

With a very big payoff for doing that, still

Minelayer truly is one of the OCs that is slept on

I personally just enjoy seeing rockets turn, which is why I’m playing anything but Minelayer (and PBM, and Salvo Mod to some extent)

[flint vector]

I find it difficult to believe not many play at hazard 5 when people are willingly doing the edd every week, still a shame we won't see a hazard 6

[placid musk]

they understand the casual nature of their game and want it to stay casual ig?

[valid ginkgo]

At least there's mods. That's better than nothing.

[placid musk]

they don't want sweat to be the predominant vibe of their game

and one bad apple ruins the whole barrel as they say

[flint vector]

Hazard 1 is here for accessibility reasons, hazard 2 is for new players but nobody stays at that difficulty more than the tutorial, the most popular hazard levels are 3 and 4

[valid ginkgo]

Browser? Sorry, wdym?

[flint vector]

The in game browser

[valid ginkgo]

Ah.

They should fix that.

[placid musk]

most people don't want a challenge in deep rock probably. they find fucking around fun instead of honing their skills

[flint vector]

Plus it's better to have it official rather than modded

[valid ginkgo]

I'm guessing it's hard to find friends into mods that change gameplay?

Makes sense.

[flint vector]

Modded lobbies are kind of a hassle to setup

Do we have the same mods? No make sure to get this and that

[placid musk]

why the hell do people run fatboy

[flint vector]

Try again

[placid musk]

because it's the funny gun

[valid ginkgo]

Although, the devs has listened to most of our feedback. Maybe they'll consider it when they're done with other updates.

[flint vector]

Oh it crashed

And so on

[placid musk]

half of drg players don't give a shit if they have a suboptimal loadout

[zenith ember]

most people here are anything but casual tbh

[placid musk]

in discord? ofc

[flint vector]

Yeah it's about fun, and there is fun in conquering the impossible odds against you

[placid musk]

the sweats are the most vocal

and gsg doesn't do top-down balancing from what i've seen

haz5 is the hardest difficulty for many!

many players don't have the skill to ascend above haz5

only 5% of the playerbase have a gold promotion

[valid ginkgo]

Being minority sucks.

[placid musk]

that's from your perspective

since people percieve difficulty independently

but i mean the option for higher difficulties is good

it wouldn't take a lot to add that's the kicker

[valid ginkgo]

You're not the only one, that's for sure.

[placid musk]

or they could add new enemy types to mix up gameplay for once

[valid ginkgo]

Oh yeah, that reminds me, new bugs in S4.

[placid musk]

that actively fuck with your movement even more

the nemesis was a freshener

but it doesn't appear as much

[valid ginkgo]

I thought it was just 4-5 hits on full hp?

Sounds about right. I see.

Content for the sweats, huh? I wonder if they'll ever consider it.

[placid musk]

that's too much for me

[valid ginkgo]

Haz 6 and 7 would be nice.

[placid musk]

but masochists still exist

[valid ginkgo]

Hope that goes well then.

[flint vector]

Or a new deep dive with no revives, when you go down you are out

[valid ginkgo]

I mean, it's an option. Meaning you don't have to play on that difficulty if you don't want to. lol

[placid musk]

just higher difficulties regular please.

[placid musk]

i'm naturally attracted to experience everything a game has to offer

i'll end up constantly trying and failing and getting shit on

[valid ginkgo]

Ah.

[placid musk]

since i fucking blow at shooters

i enjoy edds since i can strategize around the terrain not weaponry

higher hazards require specific builds to work unless you have extremely high skill which i do not

[flint vector]

They don't need specific builds you can do whatever

[valid ginkgo]

I mean, I agree on the higher difficulty thing because I'm also playing Haz 5 without much challenge too. I think a lot of the dedicated Greybeards feel the same. At least, some of my friends feel the same.

[placid musk]

turret arc + overdrive booster will not take you past a haz6x2

i'm sure of it

[flint vector]

haz6x2?

Is that the modded hazards?

[placid musk]

what if there is no place to move

[flint vector]

You die simple as

[valid ginkgo]

I agree on this one. I can carry any build if movement basics is perfected down.

[placid musk]

haz5 can be beaten with anything which is why people want higher hazards

gunner

[flint vector]

I really should give those a shot

[placid musk]

exactly

[flint vector]

You just need to jump and strafe

You don't have to go fast

[placid musk]

with 5 praets in your face?

i have a shield but that's only so many seconds

[valid ginkgo]

Movement is just bunny hopping. Class is irrelevant tbh. But dash can save your ass if you make a wrong turn.

[placid musk]

there's terrain where even kiting isn't a strat

just cramped spaces

for the entire mission

and i still get freaking hit even if I bunnyhop

[valid ginkgo]

I've never used anything other than axes on Driller. It's too convenient. lmao

[placid musk]

i'm one dwarf's length away from a slasher and it crits me nonetheless

[flint vector]

The mobs can crit you?

[placid musk]

no i meant hit me my bad XD

they just hurt too much

well my teammates would sure need that information

[flint vector]

Ah sorry, I have like 60 hours on the game, I don't know all the ins and outs

[placid musk]

i have 250 hours and i still fucking struggle

even on good teams

[valid ginkgo]

I think you just need more experience. I feel like when you've had like 1k hours in the game, you'd agree with us too.

[placid musk]

is more playtime gonna make slashers hurt less?

[flint vector]

You don't have to have 1k hours , just get gud

[placid musk]

i can't be expected to have perfect awareness

maybe my builds just fucking suck

[valid ginkgo]

No, but you'll be able to avoud them more effectively and have more sense of your surroundings, I guess.

[placid musk]

but isn't it the engineer's job to remove the brunt of the swarm

with fatboys/lasers and all that

[valid ginkgo]

A lot of the greenbeards always forget to look around while hopping.

[valid ginkgo]

Engi's are mostly versitile tbh. Gunner is the one that removes the horde.

For me, drillers delete LSTs lol

[placid musk]

a guide i read concerning haz 7x2 states that engi is the ranged remover, gunner is the mid-range killer and drill picks off the stragglers up close

[ancient cove]

To get good, learn to kite bugs. It's most important to not get hit on high difficulties.
That's where the skill comes.
Always keeping in mind a safe path to run away and shoot back each time you get on a safe distance.
Also being aware of ranged bugs on the ceiling and mactera

[placid musk]

scout kills the hvts naturally

[valid ginkgo]

Pretty much.

[placid musk]

my aim is shit so i miss hvts a lot

[valid ginkgo]

Probably go for Driller then.

[placid musk]

i don't want to

i want to improve

[ancient cove]

As scout in a team or even with Bosco you can pretty much ignore common bugs and just focus to take out big or unseen threats

[placid musk]

i found my first internet community by getting my ass handed to me for 5 fucking hours in tf2 mge

i did not get a single kill

i can't 180 my camera

that's the only thing i feel my hardware limits me to

[valid ginkgo]

This is pretty oof.

[placid musk]

and internet connection

[valid ginkgo]

But I think with your dedication on improving, you'll be fine.

[placid musk]

sometimes the random generations just really likes to screw you

the asinine glacial strata drops

i just sit like a dumbass on a zipline as gunner until a trijaw out of my fucking vision inevitably gets me since I'm focusing on the fucking bulk

[valid ginkgo]

Hmm, I suppose maybe you could do something about the 180 camera thing?

I'd suggest turning up the sound effects then. It helps with knowing which enemies are around you.

[placid musk]

i play with sfx

i sometimes just fail to hear stuff

[valid ginkgo]

Enemy sounds are very distinct. It's one feature I really like.

[placid musk]

like i said

i can't have perfect situational awareness

[valid ginkgo]

I agree on this as well.

[valid ginkgo]

But that can also be improved.

[placid musk]

with experience i guess

[valid ginkgo]

Yeah, I sucked with the awareness stuff too before.

[placid musk]

deaths feel unfair sometimes

you try your best and die anyways

and people say haz5 is ez mode

[valid ginkgo]

It happens. Even I die sometimes even now.

[placid musk]

"lord of the deep" basically means "you're not a fucking dumbass anymore"

[valid ginkgo]

XD

[placid musk]

you are a normal dumbass

ik

[flint vector]

What tf

[placid musk]

bro I'm entering modded when i get to level 300 or sth

bare minimum

[flint vector]

What lvl does my beard get gray

[placid musk]

my guess is 400

[valid ginkgo]

Altho, tbh, there are low rank dwarves that are good.

[placid musk]

i will play 6x2 with a team

[placid musk]

not me

i fucking suck balls

[valid ginkgo]

Altho, I have friends that started playing modded consistently. Although, they're always full and premade. lmao

[flint vector]

I want to try that tbh, hit me up if you get around to it I'll join ya

[placid musk]

with 80 hours?

no

[flint vector]

Bet

[placid musk]

you will die

I am not joking

[valid ginkgo]

It be like that sometimes.

[flint vector]

But I will have fun

[placid musk]

no

dying over and over again is not fun

i was in a h5 lobby with a level 6 engi

he just died over and over again

[flint vector]

What if I play it and send you a vid of me me doing a mission

[placid musk]

i mean if you want to

[valid ginkgo]

I think there was a mod where it's always scaled to 4 dwarves.

Carry mod or something?

[placid musk]

whenever i die i just profusely apologize

i'd rather fight a gigaswarm with 3 other people

[valid ginkgo]

True.

[flint vector]

How much difference is is than the edd

I can take it

[placid musk]

a lot

4.5/5/5.5 is no joke

[valid ginkgo]

Eh, it's okay. Exp is exp.

[flint vector]

Then it will be ezpz

[placid musk]

i can't help it

[placid musk]

well i got carried for my first edd

[flint vector]

I'll try it later today and send it to ya

[placid musk]

alr

[valid ginkgo]

Take care Marru!

[wraith shard]

Scout almost every time gets carried Technically

U can kill so many as other classes

[woeful niche]

just cus scout doesn’t get a lot of kills doesn’t mean he isn’t contributing. You also totally can carry on scout. Very easy to get recives off and kite swarms as him

[wraith shard]

That's why I said technixally

[cold veldt]

Are there any bugs with the eltie deep dive?

i have been trying it for 4 times in a row and everytime after the 2nd stage the multiplayer session is ended

[eager flame]

Scout feels better to play as a HVT focus playstyle, since m1k and gk2 have really nice single target damage and precision, but have low ammo overall, getting rid of high value targets to enable your team to efficiently wipe the rest is always a great way to guarantee your team's survival

[zenith ember]

yes, if you are not the host you will be disconnected, but you can still join back if you find the host or via steam

[flat forge]

if i replay a deep dive that i alredy completed do i get revards if i replay it?

[wraith shard]

Cores no

[zenith ember]

Cores no, exp/$ yes

[wraith shard]

6 cores per dd in 1week

Dd + edd

i think u replied to the wrong guy

[ancient cove]

yes, sorry

[uneven lotus]

Edd is bugged on stage 3?

[ancient cove]

Please guys, spread the word to other dwarves.
ALL people will lose the connection to the host, in the loading screen to the THIRD stage of the Elite Deep Dive this week. It's a known bug.
Before you start an EDD, tell everyone how to reconnect, in case they don't get the "Reconnect" button. Most people don't get the option, but can get in over Steam:

1. After you get disconnected, go to the EDD Terminal and find the lobby you were in before (it will be grayed out)
2. Mouse Right-Click on the lobby to open the Steam Profile of the Host.
3. If Host's profile isn't private/invisible etc. there should be a green "Join" button
4. Use the Join button to rejoin the lobby.
   If host's profile is private, you can try to add him as friend.
   Sometimes you will get the message "Multiplayer Session Ended", ignore it and try again until you're in or the lobby disappear

[marble token]

damn

[untold saddle]

BTW The devs responded about the EDD issue on this report. https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-745

[grim wadi]

ah the classic 'logs or fuck off' response, fair tho

[old widget]

looks like log submissions require subscribing to a different build (via Steam "beta" process) with extra logging enabled

here's a direct link to the howto: #1046798439016583178 message

[grim wadi]

looks like they also talked about it in there ^, surprised they couldnt reproduce it, it happened on the dev stream on thursday xD

[marble token]

lol

[old widget]

sadly you have to go digging in file explorer and send file to dev via DM, so the number of people providing data is likely to be low

gonna do my part though, this feels like an amazing opportunity over next few days to actually make a difference in fixing some of the DRG disconnect problems

with something that's so easily reproducible (albeit takes a while for each repro)

oh, test build with extra logging will only connect to other test builds. yeah that's not going to be very successful 😦
EDIT: after running the test build once, it enables logging even when you switch back to live version, so do that

[ancient cove]

then lets get together

[old widget]

I like your style, miner

[grim wadi]

yeah figured as much, pain in the ass to coordinate it

isnt there a mod you can install to skip missions, might help speed up testing and hopefully not tarnish the test

i recal the guy that mines the deep dive info uses it

[untold saddle]

I think you only need to start it once

and afterwards you can go back to the normal build

and it'll keep logging

at least that's how I understood it

Gonna do the edd now, so we'll see

[old widget]

oh, huh. I see what you mean.

[ancient cove]

I'm in EDD, we can test it after, if you need me

[old widget]

yeah the wording is a little unclear but you may be right. can't test at the moment but let us know!

[marble token]

u only need 2 player to test
there is that at least

also another way to find the steam profile of someone is to look in the (recently played with) in the steam overlay

[old widget]

OK, you're totally right: #1046798439016583178 message

So in a nutshell:

• Change to test version using process linked here: #1046798439016583178 message
• Launch test version once (load into space rig and quit is sufficient)
• Switch back to live version (open game Properties in Steam, Betas tab, set beta to None and close window, game will update back to live)
• You now have extra logs enabled on live version
• Play as normal and send logs to QA if you have a problem

To retrieve the logs go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Deep Rock Galactic\FSD\Saved\Logs Locate the file called FSD and send it to [Alexander QA] in a direct message.

Note that if your game is installed in a steam library on another drive, it will dump logs there instead. You can find your game install location by right-clicking on game name in Steam and selecting Manage > Browse Local Files, and from there, navigate to FSD\Saved\Logs and grab the FSD.log file.

(All of this only works for Steam, btw)

[marble token]

ohh nice

and where are the logs made?

[old widget]

it's in that message link above, will add some details there

I can confirm that the process does enable logging on the live version. Pretty cool.

[ancient cove]

do you guys have the log?

[old widget]

I've taken a quick look to see what sort of info is there, haven't played a game yet

[ancient cove]

I got the networktest version

and I mod to finish the mission quickly

who want to test with me?

[uneven lotus]

I thought deep dives specifically said you cannot join a game late. Was i wrong?

[pliant yoke]

You can still join the host, if you can trace their profile back and click an appropriate join in game button in their profile

Or if you just have them on your friends list

[uneven lotus]

Okay, maybe ill try going for 3rd reward then later.

[ancient cove]

Do you think I'm spreading mission information here for the last 3 days?

You can reconnect, if you leave, lose the connection or crash to a EDD that was started with you in it

[uneven lotus]

Are the things you get from a edd always the same order? Like i got a blank and a oc from first 2 stages, can i predict the last reward?

Want to see if doing the edd again would be worth it.

[pliant yoke]

It’s always a blank first, then a weapon core, and then a cosmetic core

[uneven lotus]

Okay, prob not worth it then, i do like how the best reward is the first

At least i see a blank being a good reward

[pliant yoke]

It’s a flexible reward, suffice it to say

[uneven lichen]

So…is the EDD this week broken?

[smoky steeple]

Yes you dc when loading in to the 3rd stage if youre the client

[uneven lichen]

What if I do it solo

[smoky steeple]

Nothing

Just a normal edd

But there is a way for youre teamates to re connect

If you look further up in the chat

[ancient cove]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[smoky steeple]

Or ask Igromanru

Yea that

[uneven lichen]

Imma copy and past that and send that message whenever I attempt the EDD this week. Thanks!

[viral folio]

When it comes to joining EDD pubs is there some level people expect? I'm still on first promo

[ancient cove]

If you're on PC, read the lobby description, some will write things like "lvl100+ only" etc.
But mostly, not

[ancient cove]

If you want to get it done with some fun. I'll host a 8 dwarfs EDD lobby later

[viral folio]

Okay good to know. I've only seen informative names such as 'Bugussy Lover Here'

[woeful niche]

avoid all the lobbies with level requirements

trust me it’s usually not worth it

[ancient cove]

Many are toxic, yes. But if someone just don't want to have absolute beginners in Haz 5/EDD I can respect it. But they are rare anyway.

[viral folio]

Yeah fair, sounds good thanks 👍

[tight gust]

Damn, thought i just randomly lost connection when I got to stage 3

[stiff pumice]

Finally, after two DC:s yesterday I looked this up. Got into a new group today and informed them. It was close but we got it. Thanks @ancient cove for the info. Not that it's needed but that reconnect works.

[uneven lichen]

Personally I just need some bags of meat to carry to the drop pod

[ember sapphire]

is stage three of the EDD still bugged, and if so is it possible to rejoin?

[ancient cove]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[open pecan]

Does it also apply for the normal deep dive? Ive been looking for the last Aquarqs for the lasdt 30 mins

[ancient cove]

the disconnect bug no, but the rejoin mechanic always work

if you crash or lose connection, can always rejoin over Steam

[open pecan]

I was playing solo but the last aquarq just didnt spawn for me. Ran out of ammo and died so idk

[grim wadi]

hidden disconnected cave #deep-dive-discussion message

[keen trout]

what is on elite deep dive?

[open pecan]

thx, those caves should be illegal. I litterally spend 45 mins searching for it until I ran out of ammo and nitra and got swormed

[restive patrol]

"pls be my frien so i can finish dive thank in advance

[ancient cove]

I'm hosting EDDs each day

But I'm done for today

you can just teach people how to rejoin if you play

[ionic steeple]

I'm done trying to do this EDD I keep getting disconnected

[ancient cove]

bro

[ancient cove]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[restive patrol]

while its appreciated

& srry if i come off salty about this

but like

it shouldnt be like your job

[grim wadi]

we should maybe make a new plsfix post along the lines of 'fix the broken unreliable reconnection feature'

[restive patrol]

the comment on the pleasefix was like "ya we need more data"

my brother in Karl

load up a dive

it will happen

[ancient cove]

tbh, I could understand that Devs haven't said anything over weekend, but by now we should have had an announcement that warns people.
It's very frustrating to do EDD just to "fail" it on the last mission duo to a bug.

[grim wadi]

maybe its a classic 'the issue stopped happening once we turned on the debug stuff to track it' problem

https://tenor.com/view/changes-changed-the-outcome-by-gif-19084450

[ancient cove]

It took me 2 EDDs at the beginning to understand that something fishy. But people start thinking that it's their connection or the host rage quit etc.

[restive patrol]

same

[ionic steeple]

oh my gosh thank you lol

[ancient cove]

Also they try again and again and waste their time

[restive patrol]

wonder wheres/hows that mobile deeprock game coming along

[ionic steeple]

I never saw a green join button tho, I also wasn't looking soo

[ancient cove]

It's a default Steam function. But normally you can't join random people over steam or just never try

Even if you play with friends, normally you just open the friend list and press "join the game" or they send you an invite

[ionic steeple]

ahem, I'm a loser and own it via gamepass on Xbox

[ancient cove]

oof

Then you won't be able to reconnect

BUT

Maybe you can use xbox functions?

[ionic steeple]

maybe

[ancient cove]

Are there things like "last played with" list?

You have to find the host

[ionic steeple]

I don't think so sadly

[ancient cove]

In worst case, add as friend

[ionic steeple]

maybe I should just get it on Steam and port my files over

[restive patrol]

keep gamepass

starfield & diablo coming out

[ancient cove]

No way diablo will come to gamepass, really?

[restive patrol]

oop no

not diablo

[ionic steeple]

Starfield really? huh I wasn't expecting that

[restive patrol]

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/starfield

phew

[ionic steeple]

I haven't looked too much into Starfield, but interesting

[ancient cove]

Starfield will be definitly cool, it's from Bethesda

But I want to have it on steam anyway

[ionic steeple]

I usually buy games on Steam, but I got drg on Xbox bc I have a friend who only has an Xbox, and then I bought the game for another friend on Xbox too, so it's like I've invested too much money to just buy it Steam now

[orchid finch]

Just did a Deep Dive and ended up with 5 dwarves

[flat forge]

[whole condor]

see, thats normally a sign that its going to be anything BUT cool

but if we're still using positive words, it'll be funny as shit

because the bugs are going to be plentiful and glorious

what it IS though is Xbox's last chance at being a competitor in the console market after this year

[runic hornet]

WHen do deep dives reset?

Cant wait to get a garbage overclock!

[dense sage]

check the pinned message

[hot moat]

Did my first deep dive yesterday, real fun experience

[bitter solar]

Did this weeks deep dive in sub 45 minutes, got the achievement. Super stoked

Also 2 huli horders this week, might replay for the xps and minerals, plus its fun

[hollow shale]

Yeah both EDD and DD are pretty easy this week.

[obtuse wedge]

I just finished my first, very cool stuff

[edgy scroll]

you are my hero. this was my first successful elite dive and I and thought I was doomed

[tacit jungle]

We did DD in 27 minutes after a relaxing EDD. I think was the lowest level in the team at 500+

Getting easily carried is truly a joy

[surreal plank]

second part of EDD gave me a really hard time tbh

[high hearth]

nearly died at end of drill aswell but asides from that was pretty chill

[sour canopy]

what is the elite deep dive overclock this week

[woeful niche]

wdym

[sour canopy]

the overclock what is it

[thorn folio]

Wait are overclocks the same for everyone?

[sour canopy]

aren't they

[woeful niche]

no

[ancient cove]

You get something you don't have yet. So it's different for everyone

[uneven lotus]

Sure,but how do you get 8 dwarf?

[ancient cove]

mod

[uneven lotus]

Is it easy to do?

[torn monolith]

literally just go to the modding menu

and click manage mods

[grim wadi]

doesnt the more-players-balanced mod crash specifically with EDD or has that been fixed?

[ancient cove]

It crashes sometimes at the first loading screen (very rare) and the game often crashes generally, if you start with over 8 players

[grim wadi]

ah so i guess if you make it past that you might be ok xD

[ancient cove]

Yeah, after the load info the first mission, you're good

But over 8 players always crash on Deep Dives

I tested last week

However, it wasn't the case last season, so I hope they fix it

Was a hell of fun to do Dives with 20 dwarves

[grim wadi]

sweeeeet

[torn monolith]

when do you want to do this

[ancient cove]

I'm usualy doing it at the evening. Middle Europe btw.

[old widget]

sounds like devs have identified the cause of the stage 2 > stage 3 client disconnects in EDD and are going to release a hotfix, though no guarantee it will come out before next dive rotation
#bug-discussion message

[ornate matrix]

Is it ok to ask about groups for DD here, or would Lfg be better?

[tulip idol]

Lfg

[ornate matrix]

Thanks

Also, solo DD was the worst mistake of my greenbeard life

[tulip idol]

It's kinda boring for experienced players too
Coop makes up for everything usually

[ornate matrix]

No, not boring

Everything everywhere all at once, kind of mistake

[placid musk]

it kinda is XD

I got hit with the disconnect on the edd as host and had to solo a haz5.5 PE with no team

[ornate matrix]

I had three oppressors

At once, like wtf

[placid musk]

i managed to survive to the 15 min mark and quit

[ornate matrix]

I died

[placid musk]

cause i couldn't find the mork veins as driller

[ornate matrix]

I went to the bitter end

[placid musk]

gave up, not worth

[placid musk]

regular or elite?

3 is a handful in regular on top of everything else

[ornate matrix]

Just reg

Haven't been able to finish a actual deep dive yet

No one joins 😦

[placid musk]

damn

pubs aren't hard to come across

then again you could lfg

[ornate matrix]

Yeah, that's actually why I joined the server

And found I've been missing out on this part of the community for weeks

[placid musk]

discord is mostly just lfg + arguments on weapons that confuse newbies

just try what seems fun

[ornate matrix]

Yeppers

[simple sorrel]

Is EDD 3rd stage still bugged??

[old widget]

Make sure you change the host button on the deep dive screen to public, the default is private

[ornate matrix]

OH

That would solve it lollllll

[ancient cove]

yes

[hard ice]

Huh? There is a Bug? Man my Team was about tobtry it today..😢

[placid musk]

your team gets disconnected stage 3

[hard ice]

Okay, then we better wait for the next one. We spent the last week to get everyone ready for it.

My 3 friends are New.

[shrewd swift]

You can still try it honestly, they might just have to rejoin you at stage 3

[hard ice]

But thx for the Info!

[shrewd swift]

Which you can do at the Deep Dive terminal

[hard ice]

Ahhh, okay.. May we try it then.. i hope it will work.

[shrewd swift]

If you are the host they have to click on you on the terminal and click "Join Game" on your steam profile

you can finish it together just fine

[hard ice]

We play on xbox

[shrewd swift]

Ah that might be a bit more difficult

[hard ice]

Yea. In some Missions they dont can rejoin when someome disconnect. Sometimes it work... i think we better wait. The Next one will come soon. Then we play the normal one for now

[shrewd swift]

Yeah, the normal Deep Dive is fine

[simple sorrel]

Thats my gameplan. Not risking dwarves who cant reconnect or dont know how.

[hard ice]

Yes. That will be not that much fun for them... when u are new this kills the fun

[ancient cove]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[hard ice]

We play on xbox. Is there a work around too?

[ancient cove]

oof, no idea.
You can try xbox native functions to join friends.
If there is a way to join a friend in progress over the xbox friend list, then it should work

Deep Dives generally allows to reconnect. But the problem is, that if you don't get the "Reconnect" button, what often happens, you can't click in the terminal on the lobby, because it's grayed out

[ancient cove]

Hosting right now a game, then will go eat something, then will host again

[visual rain]

wooooo got dced on the last mission of the EDD

im not gonna bother going for the cosmetic overclock. not playin a hour of missions for a cosmetic im not gonna bother crafting

[ancient cove]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[visual rain]

oh

little too late now lmao

[uneven lotus]

Does having a mod like this cause restrictions? Like cant join certain lobbies because others dont have the mod?

Like what are downsides

[grim wadi]

itll turn off approved mods if you join non modded lobby

also if you use the mods in your lobby you lose ability to do achievements

otherwise all good

its not a sandbox mod so you can progress your save normally etc

[uneven lotus]

If you remove the mod can you do achievements?

[grim wadi]

ya

[uneven lotus]

Okay, and this 8 player thing, would it be easy to find in mods?

Do i need to know the name of it?

[ancient cove]

Are you sure about it?

[uneven lotus]

Im familiar with minecraft modding so im very skeptical of mods that are approved.

[grim wadi]

i can be tricky to find the right mod sometimes as theres been a few over the years iirc, currently its this one https://drg.old.mod.io/more-players-balanced

[ancient cove]

It's completely different

[grim wadi]

yep, if you us verified mods tho youre fine, they dont have any downsides, aside from maybe crashing your game if you have a buggy one / game updates

[uneven lotus]

Im asuming a verified mod wouldnt include stuff that makes the game easier. Tho 8 players seems to have that already covered...

[ancient cove]

However, my mod don't cause any "restrictions". Because its not on mod.io and my lobby doesn't even count as modded

[tribal portal]

The only mods I care about are lootbug brain fart and "ayo the pizza here" resupply

[grim wadi]

sometimes things can slip through, eg googley eyes mod having the option to make the eyes glow, so you can see them in the dark 😉

[tribal portal]

And m134 leadstorm that ones pretty good

[grim wadi]

also the brighter objects mod

[tribal portal]

Wait fr? That's pretty wacky

[uneven lotus]

So i play without mods, so everyone in my lobbies also dont have mods?

Or atleast not active?

[tribal portal]

I Mean people with client-side mods will still have those mods

[grim wadi]

verified mods (more or less called client mods), anyone can use or not use them, theres no host overriding rule there, its just approved mods that might be forced off if you join a lobby without approved mods

ive built up quite the collection myself, 95% of these are client/verified only mods i can always have on https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/529674786620571658/1105547375730245743/image.png

[uneven lotus]

Idk if a cosmetic is worth getting a mod over tho. Assuming next weeks dd is fixed

[ancient cove]

Mods like Brighter Objects or ragdoll remover are worth having

the first one helps a lot to see minirals and objectives. The second improves performance

[grim wadi]

yeah if i do more haz4x2 or whatever id probably consider the ragdoll remover mod

[coral pond]

Ragdolls are funny so removing them is cringe

[grim wadi]

id be sad too

they are too entertaining

gotta have my breakdancing wardens

[coral pond]

Just walking through a cave, hearing a bulldog shot behind you, just to have a webspitter fall right in front of you

[ancient cove]

I personally try to use as less mods as possible, so I don't install any cosmetic replacer or sounds

[coral pond]

And the glitched shellbacks and younglings

[uneven lotus]

Is this the first time the edd has had a bug?

[ancient cove]

as far I know, yes

[grim wadi]

first time ive seen it since getting the game in may 2022

[uneven lotus]

I keep forgeting what year it is, i was like, less than a month??

[grim wadi]

xD

[ancient cove]

bro...

[uneven lotus]

I got this game a few years ago, literally thought my pc wouldnt handle it, but ive come to realize now it does, and wish id started playing years ago...

Which also doesnt align in my head with the year it is...

[ancient cove]

I can recommend these mods:
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/drglib
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/no-ragdolls
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/cosmetic-restriction-remover
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/brighter-objects
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/steeve-better-visibility
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/platform-placement-preview
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/mod-hub
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/customizable-ally-outlines
It's bare minimum what you need

[uneven lotus]

I feel it wont be till 2030 that i realize we are in 2020

[uneven lotus]

Aint no rag dolls kinda cheating? It removed things from blocking your view?

[ancient cove]

Most important is "No Ragdolls", it improves performance and visibility

[tribal portal]

Most important is lootbug brainfart

[ancient cove]

Well, yes. Many mods are "cheating", if you see it this way.
You decide how you want to play, how good is your PC, how good is your visibility etc.

At the end the game is about fun

[grim wadi]

its not pvp so a lot of the concerns can be laxxed imo

[tribal portal]

Squidward Molly is also a must have

[grim wadi]

i mean scout vs driller is a bit pvp, but beside that

[ancient cove]

Brighter Objects is also important to avoid frustration. If you don't want to search for the last fossil for an hour

[tribal portal]

Brighter objects is a LIFESAVER it's so useful

If you have a driller that throws c4 indiscriminately then better explosion radius is a good one

It just makes the bubble way more visible

[uneven lotus]

I always go for damage and range build on my c4, better against teamates, i mean swarms...

[ancient cove]

Hosting now

[green sequoia]

Im trying to get a few greenbeards addicted to the game, what should i play to ease their time on hoxxes? I know my biggest problem at the beginning (and now) was map navigation, so I was thinking scout for better flare uptime, gunner for ziplines, or driller for easier extracts.

[old widget]

I think any class would be fine, if it were me I'd probably just play the class they don't

[ancient cove]

Most fun class for new people to play are Scout and Driller

Then Engi

Until Haz 4+ Gunner is pretty boring

[tribal portal]

Gunner can do some clutch plays fr

Number 1 medic class

[grim wadi]

can confirm i hated gunner until there was a reason to carry a team with him

[stuck dock]

deep dive

#lfg-steam is right there for future use btw

[thick epoch]

3rd stage DD gave me a pretty major crash

Is this seen by others or is it just me?

I was solo and it just froze in the middle

[ancient cove]

#deep-dive-discussion message

Had to force shut down my computer

just your computer probably

[wraith shard]

3rd stage crash, when I was loading my team was gone

[ancient cove]

#deep-dive-discussion message

I just had my first EDD where all Dwarfs managed to stay

[wraith shard]

Thank you 🙏

[cunning bronze]

few days ago i had the cleanest dd of my whole dwarven career

I cannot seem to replicate it

[cunning bronze]

the driller was making underbunkies. i was filling up holes on top. the scout was lighting up caves. the gunner was killing shit.

should've friended them smh

[grim wadi]

could maybe find them in the recent players tab still

[cunning bronze]

maybe. doubt they'd accept the reqs though

[ancient cove]

Does recept played works for you guys?

It never shows up for DRG for me

[grim wadi]

ive only ever used it while ingame with shift+tab overlay, but yeah

[primal venture]

A bulk detonator spawned directly next to dorreta 😔

[alpine smelt]

I had a bulk spawn next to the drill as well. Destroyed one of its treads, but we held them on the 2nd tread.

[boreal ibex]

Better freeze it and kill it

[primal venture]

Am dead

[torn kayak]

dam today's EDD is bugged cannot get to the 3rd map without getting disconnected

this is the 4th time now

[dense sage]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[cloud depot]

Hello fellow miners, I am not sure if this is the right place to put this but I have a scary story to tell

I was just in an elite deep dive with 4 gunners and it was smooth untill the last mission where they ALL DISCONNECTED and I was alone on a SHEILD DESPERSION MISSION getting aquark and morkite

I went through 5 whole ressuplys and just barely managed the aquarks

Being gunner I had trouble finding morkite and at 105 out of 150 I died making a final stand that would have made karl proud

[smoky steeple]

Its a bug everyone has

#deep-dive-discussion message

There is a fix

[ancient cove]

Funny thing. I had yesterday a player in my EDD lobby, who has a really bad PC or his Disc is faulty or whatever. We had to wait each time like at least 2min before he was loaded in.
And somehow I think it contributed to it, that none lost connection on the last stage.
I'm hosting EDD the whole week already with 8 player lobbies and it was the first time that nobody for DCd on the 3rd stage

[smoky steeple]

Lol

Just have a bad connection its that easy

[smoky steeple]

I guess

[pseudo kettle]

Hi guys, anyone around to do a deep dive? First timer, EU

[valid ginkgo]

For some reason, my friends also disconnected on the last stage. Although, they all reconnected.

• Fixed the season countdown so that when it reaches 0, The new update will be available
  sus

[agile bough]

has anyone found the countdown yet?

[ancient cove]

where is it?

[grim wadi]

theyre probably trolling, they like to do a lil silly in their changelogs often

[upper hound]

I might attempt EDD for the 3rd time before the new one drops, but can someone tell me is the bulk guaranteed to spawn on the 2nd stage or was I just unlucky?

(Idk how swarms work with preseeded maps)

[grim wadi]

played it twice, got a bulk each time, we miiiiiight have actually gotten 2 bulks the second time for stage 2 i cant remember

[upper hound]

Ah

F[KARL]K

I'm just going to wait for tomorrow then

[long sequoia]

im solo-ing edd, rn at stage 3

any shenanigans?

apart from shield pain

[grim wadi]

nupe

[long sequoia]

yay

bosco op

[tiny portal]

Well teh aquarqs are partly in clsoed off cave

u will need to dig

Thats it

[tiny portal]

other than that no

Oh no wait that was normal dd nvm

[long sequoia]

WOOO

1068 kills, 1012 minerals, 1 death

20250 xp

[xp is sadge]

[grim wadi]

thats just the regular deep dive afaik, edd cave was fine, edit: ah you realized xD

[long sequoia]

that 1 death was because i got stuck somewhere

[main parcel]

this week's DDs are back to normal, not like the previous one for sure

[candid stag]

i have been mining in the deep galactic tutorial mine for way too long do i need to do this tutorial or am i fine with not doing it

[smoky steeple]

You dont need to do it

You kann skip it if you want to

@candid stag

[candid stag]

thansk

[coral pond]

What were you doing to be in there for "forever"?

[sage atlas]

Does anyone want to do a deep dive with me?

[loud bane]

finally done the EDD, first try after the patch. The last mission is surprisingly easy

[cursive topaz]

I just finished my first deep dive solo am I good now?

[sacred marlin]

Yes

[ancient cove]

decent

[ancient cove]

Is the problem gone? No disconnects?

[loud bane]

yes, it is fixed

written in todays patchnotes even

[unique plover]

Did the edd first try after the fix

3rd stage was kinda ez, probably because I had a good scout

Second one got a bit spicy in the end tho

[tribal portal]

What's the second one

[upper hound]

I retried EDD and I was 30 seconds till pod arrival on 3rd stage and the game crashed

[turbid dawn]

how many dwarves?

[upper hound]

me, myself, I and Ich

was doing solo engie

[turbid dawn]

then no guaranteed bulk

[upper hound]

there was a bulk on second stage that made me ragequit before

and it spawned again

(the second time I mean)

[turbid dawn]

its rng, but if its rnged into ur spawn pool on that stage you can even get 2

[upper hound]

yeah, I am not going to put myself through stage 2 again

Tomorrow's a new day and a new EDD

[turbid dawn]

uh rng will change every time you try

[warped geode]

I have been in the last stage of the regular deep dive for like 20 minutes now

where tf is the last aquarq

[turbid dawn]

be a Bismarck and charge in brother..

[upper hound]

in a cave off to the side

[turbid dawn]

dig to the hidden cave behind where the entry pod lands

[upper hound]

I literally don't have enough time even if I wanted (which I don't)

[turbid dawn]

there are 3

[dusk trellis]

I played twice, in the first attempt there were no bulk, but got 2 in the second
Maybe one of them was from the first try XD

[warped geode]

Can someone hop in a vc and guide me? I forget where I even spawned. I've gone native here

[dusk trellis]

Just check your map beside the walls, it's quite long and not hard to find

[turbid dawn]

there be a hole in the ground where the pod landed

its literally like 5m from the hole

[warped geode]

AHA

Found it

thanks

my only question is how tf was I supposed to find that normally?

[turbid dawn]

by using your map

[dusk trellis]

Always check the map

[warped geode]

that'd be my first solo deep dive completed

yeehaw

[hexed dust]

is the 3rd stage of edd still bugged?

[old widget]

Supposedly no. #patch-notes-steam message

Some folks here seem to have confirmed and run through it with no problems

[hexed dust]

thanks

[tiny furnace]

anyone comepleted elite deep dive yet>? its either everyone is dieing or im getting disconnected its like the game dont want me to complete it

[old widget]

the disconnect bug that was hitting everyone was fixed about 12h ago, FWIW

[still geode]

edd wasn't too bad at all

had a bulk pull an egg for us on stage 2

[sweet cradle]

I can never get an EDD done

Part of it is because I'm playing in public lobbies, but I also don't have any solid builds that can survive such a brutal onslaught of enemies

[grim wadi]

finally tried the DD haz 5 edition for this week, sadly i could not carry hard enough, lost too much time and ammo helping out, if it werent for that disconnected cave in stage 3 i shoulda gone gunner

[still geode]

ye sometimes when you're carrying it's better to just stop reviving people and instead just finish the mission yourself

it kinda sucks when you have to resort to that but i personally still prefer it over just outright losing

[grim wadi]

yeah i was doing that for most of the last mission, got all the quarks, we got the blackbox to like 90% while the other 2 were down the whole time, i would have been fine but i ran out of ammo on cryo

[still geode]

if you are really really desperate for black box you can stand on top of it and drill straight down

and just keep drilling

[grim wadi]

omg

that might have helped lol

will try that if its a last man standing scenario

the bar progresses so slow when its 1 of 3 in the circle egh

[still geode]

if the engi is still alive it works even better cuz you can repeatedly plat the hole to buy more time

[grim wadi]

ah yeah for sure

[still geode]

you do have to consider that eventually you hit the bottom of the map

and if that happens before the bar is full you're in a really bad spot because you can't keep drilling and you're now stuck defending it at the bottom of a pit

i believe this works for fuel cells too, you can stand right next to it and drill down, but it's much harder for the first uplink in salvage because it's a bit too tall to stand on top but it's too wide to just stand behind it, so you have to drill the left side and then the right side to get it to drop once

and also double check that you have the fuel to get back up

[grim wadi]

i guess its connection to the drop pod doesnt matter after it starts, i think ive seen drillers drill it down a bit to get it out of the way

[sacred marlin]

Ignore this part😈

[valid orchid]

My friends and I got past the 1 stage of the EDD. Pretty fun times

[charred citrus]

Just did my first deep dive halfway

[valid orchid]

Still not good enough to clear it but can't say I didnt enjoy the assblasting from 7 trijaws

[charred citrus]

Dude it's a whole another game

I've almost memorized pre promotion gameplay since i took all dwarves to 25

It's like im playing a new game again

[charred citrus]

1 of then isn't fun

Why should more than 2 be enjoying?

[manic pivot]

ATTENTION MINERS!
Planet scanning is still in progress, 12 hours left until new Deep Dives!

[whole locust]

thanks

[uneven lichen]

Was the Disconnect bug with this week’s EDD fixed?

[grim wadi]

ya

[uneven lichen]

Nice

[versed crypt]

Whoever built that map pulled a real D move there. I couldn't find an opening to that last Aq chamber and dug to it from a tunnel on my last recovery playing solo and got iced while Bosco had the last one in hand.

[sharp grove]

i just beat my first elite deep dive and didn't receive the achievement i am not playing modded

there was a network connection during the deep dive but i wasnt disconnected

[vivid quartz]

endless mode would be cool

or like a super escort

no heart stone just more gold

[placid blaze]

How does one survive elite deep dive solo whats the best class for that?

[celest pecan]

driller?

[uneven lichen]

The general consensus is whatever the class you’re best playing as

[celest pecan]

tbh, if u r playing haz 5 casualy u probably can do it with any class

[fluid cliff]

gunner

[earnest flower]

guys

I did my first deep dive yesterday

and I'm looking forward to do edd

what's the difference?

more enemies?

[coral pond]

higher hazard level

dd is 3/3.5/3.5

edd is 4.5/5/5.5

[earnest flower]

5.5?! holy...

[lone monolith]

haz 1x64 > all imo

[proper root]

Just did my first successful deep dive, 1 down 8 revives, 2nd layer was an exploader infestation and I remembered just how helpful speedboost can be in a pinch

[arctic plover]

What does Haz#x# mean?

Like I see Haz 5x2 all the fucking time and I don't know what it means ;w;

[grim wadi]

haz 1x64 means difficulty 1, like haz 1, and x64 means 64 times more enemies

[arctic plover]

Oh

So Haz 5 x 2 is Haz 5 with double enemies

[grim wadi]

yeppers

[arctic plover]

That sounds like proper torture

[grim wadi]

the real pros like to play 6x2 with friends or solo without bosco

[arctic plover]

Haz 6?

I assume mod correct?

[heavy girder]

Modded difficulty

[arctic plover]

yheah

[grim wadi]

yeah the mods can make basically any difficulty

[arctic plover]

I assume Haz 6 follows the formula of scaling health, damage, and enemy spawns?

[grim wadi]

i believe so yep

[kind whale]

I cannot find the 7th arquarq in Stage 3 of the standard DD

[grim wadi]

secret unconnected cave near where you landed in

check the radar

[kind whale]

Ty

[winged gulch]

just finished the EDD, my dumbass went in with a cryocannon with 0 upgrades that i accidentally selected as my primary, ate so much ammo to feed my thin containment field addiction

[vivid quartz]

plus 55% curveball death rooms

[random ingot]

if there are consecutive morkite missions in a dive, does remaining/extra undeposited morkite in your inventory carry over into the next mission like nitra/gold?

[wise geyser]

next season when?

[whole locust]

june

[turbid dawn]

@quiet mortar please come back, dwarves are waiting for you

[nimble saffron]

hi, id like to ask, if i start a deep dive like 30 minutes before it resets, howdoes it work? will it let me normally finish the dd, with all the rewards?

[hushed sequoia]

yes

[nimble saffron]

so i can start even a 1 minute before it resets

and it will be fine

[boreal ibex]

Yes

Same thing as starting a regular mission right before the missions update. You just play it out like normal

[candid bobcat]

you can even start the old dive past the reset time so as long as you don't restart your game after it resets

[near adder]

anyone looking to do some last minute runs?

[placid musk]

i'm planning on getting that last core

also embracing crspr

snowball is so goddamn risky

[nocturne sage]

nice, new EDD in 2 hours

[surreal geyser]

That Deep dive was fun.

not as hard as i've heard tho?

[fervent rose]

This week was my first ever DD and EDD, played in that order

I actually got the sub 45 min achievement on the first completion of the DD by accident lol

Granted, we speedran the first stage cause we didn't know our chances on the exploder infestation, but yeah

[serene fjord]

This week was unusually easy, easiest one by far since I started playing 2 months ago

[thick lance]

a good week for a recently promoted dwarf to try it?

[pliant yoke]

Do or do not - there is no trying

[manic pivot]

_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
New Deep Dives will be available in one hour!
_ _

[surreal geyser]

yipeee

[pallid void]

I probably could have done DD under 45 minutes again if I didn't fuck around on 1st stage so much.

And I did this one blind

[fervent rose]

Yeah
I don't know, we literally just mildly hurried up on the first stage because we were nervous about the second one

After that it was moderately competently (I'm player level 43 or so I think, so that's my frame of reference) playing the game

And we got it in like 42 minutes

[thick lance]

oh blast, will it kick me out of a deep dive if I'm in the middle of when when it resets?

[fervent rose]

Nah

[thick lance]

phew :D might try and find a team for a deep dive then

[fervent rose]

Someone else said you can even start a new one after the reset as long as you don't restart the game

[sly kettle]

Soon

[civic zinc]

WHEN IT DROPPING?

[pliant yoke]

Soon ™️

Aka probably one minute

[manic pivot]

_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
New Deep Dives are now available!

[sly kettle]

Good luck, everyone.

[civic zinc]

thats it lads, rock and stone

[worthy patio]

[lilac lagoon]

[still geode]

volatile guts exploder infestation

pog

[frigid forge]

DRG is in need of Morkite it seems

[still geode]

regular DD should be fine because escort has excessive nitra

can just brute force your way through shield disruption and low o2 with resupply spam
