[zenith ember]

really dont recommend solo driller in either dds honestly

[karmic sundial]

im just playing with randoms

i just went driller cuz its my fav class

but i might try engi with loki and shard

[zenith ember]

if you are gonna go w a full team prob cryo driller

[karmic sundial]

i have FRE on cryo

[zenith ember]

unless all 3 brings fire for some reason on this edd

vanilla cryo will be fine

or your engi build works too, loki/shard

[karmic sundial]

yeah ill try

i have overdrive booster on it

[zenith ember]

cryo driller kinda leans toward half suicidial while trying to freeze dreads anyway

[pliant yoke]

You might as well play Cryo without an overclock then, lol

FRE does basically nothing for you, and if anything it makes Cold Radiance worse

[zenith ember]

OB shard is ok honestly

[karmic sundial]

i dont play cryo anyway

[daring sandal]

do the devs decide the deep dives or is there some kinda automated randomizer thing

[karmic sundial]

its automated

[daring sandal]

nice

[karmic sundial]

I dont think the devs would be like "lets put a dreadnought in every stage lol''

[daring sandal]

is it possible to get all three major warnings on one stage, or normal game (non-dd)? low oxy/haunted cave/shield disrupt

[karmic sundial]

No, each mission has one negative/positive warning or both

[daring sandal]

i know there's other warnings but they're not as excruciating as the "top 3"

nice

[karmic sundial]

but it cant be like low oxy and shield disrupt together

at least i think so

[daring sandal]

i'm sure someone modded their lobby to make it the most absolute brutal as possible

[old widget]

Yeah, DD/EDD can only have one warning (red mutator) per stage, unlike normal missions which can have up to two

[flint orbit]

what is this week elite deep dive??

nvm found it

[subtle gyro]

hey folks, is this the right place to ask about getting a group together for an elite deep dive? a friend and i have been having trouble getting a good team together, massive communication issues

[flint orbit]

i also tried to join elite deep dive but there was no hosters, i dont wanna host bc wifi is not great for doing so

[karmic sundial]

#lfg-steam #lfg-xbox-microsoft #lfg-playstation

[subtle gyro]

thank you!

[karmic sundial]

[old widget]

@surreal path self-promotion spam (at a minimum)

[jagged rapids]

This week's dive titles got me dying of laughter

"Devil's shaft" and "bloody walk"

A story in 2 parts 🤣

Clearly not enough liquid morkite lube used

Also looks like a fun EDD this week

[karmic sundial]

Its not

[jagged rapids]

All the better 😈

[stray bane]

i’m gonna go crazy

i hate hollow bough

[thick quarry]

Hi, I just went to this server and would like to open voice servers, what do I need to do for this and where?

Help me please

[topaz ledge]

Go to #welcome-and-rules and choose the platform you play on

[thick quarry]

I've already followed the link and my voice chat didn't open anyway

How difficult it is

[pastel nexus]

Sorry im a bit new to the game but are the cosmetic dlcs all unlocked right away when you buy them, or do you have to do missions to get everything

[quasi sleet]

when you buy a DLC, you get access to all the DLC's stuff right away

[echo ferry]

bruh is the drg servers really that toxic
got kicked from one cause "I had only one promotion star"

[jagged rapids]

No but it happens. Just gotta find the cool people. Every game has elitists but also depends on where you're playing.

Many hosts aren't crazy about new players in haz4, haz5 or elite dives and for good reason. But there are also many hosts that love having new players and helping them

Use an lfg channel if ya need, always folks willing to help newer players or just play with them (myself included)

[sharp tundra]

Oh wow this Edd looks ez

[echo ferry]

Fair
I just try to get missions over quickly so I try to join an ongoing mission and help out to the best
Don't play a lot

[jagged rapids]

Might be another of your issues. Most don't mind but it is usually frowned upon to late join a mission that's pretty far in

Not everyone cares tho. I certainly don't

[echo ferry]

The server I joined just started lmao
I dont join after the drop pod comes

[sharp tundra]

Is this Edd ez?

[jagged rapids]

Ah I see, thought ya meant a game like 20 mins in.

Also just so you know: you actually CAN'T join a server once the drop pod is called

[sharp tundra]

@jagged rapids

[jagged rapids]

Haven't done it yet but it looks pretty easy. Just dread city

Will be running it in a couple hours hopefully. Still at work 🫠

[wraith shard]

Overcloco recommends for dps on gunner mini gun and dual cannon

[marsh sparrow]

Damn this weeks EDD was no fun at all lmao

hollow bough and starving for nitra

gunner left in second stage, we barely clutched it out

[marsh sparrow]

be ready for dreadnoughts

all stages have dreadnoughts

[oak pecan]

Decided to do the DD solo with Randoweisser as gunner, got micro flechettes

[wraith shard]

Anyone wanna deep dive

[jagged rapids]

Might have better luck asking in #drg-chat rather than here

[jagged rapids]

Should ask in one of the lfg channels rather than here. You don't have a platform assigned yet tho so go do that in #welcome-and-rules (go to the PLATFORMS section)

[oak pecan]

Any special spawns on the EDD?

[lost heart]

How hards this week's deep dive

[queen patrol]

elite is smooth enough until the 3rd stage with haz 5.5 blackbox

paired with classic hollow bough gen

also stingtails in every stage

[light jungle]

How viable would you guys say supercooling chamber is in deep dives?

[queen patrol]

pretty good whenever theres dreadnoughts

[light jungle]

I use it pretty much all the time now but the tighter ammo constraints might start to show sometimes.

I don't know how likely that is though.

[queen patrol]

i actually find deep dives to have more ammo than usual since nitra carries over, 100+ or even 200 in stage 2 is usual with a competent team

[humble harbor]

is the black box at least under a tunnel

or any cover

[queen patrol]

nope

out in the open right next to the dreadnought egg

[humble harbor]

ok im gonna minelayer mole everything

I deadass dig a bunch of holes in the uplink/bb for mole memes

[queen patrol]

based mole user

[balmy verge]

Anyone want to play, I’m on ps4

[civic yoke]

maybe on #lfg-playstation, get roles on #welcome-and-rules

[balmy verge]

K thank you

[jagged rapids]

Dang, the terrain is very much the hot mess you'd expect from hallow bough for EDD. Tbh first stage wasn't too bad except for not being able to see bc scout forgot they had flares which made it much harder than it should've been. Scout left but we got thru s1. S2 we wiped tho bc we got hit with a swarm in a poor location but I probs could've fixed that I'd known how bad the room ahead was. definitely doable tho but highly recommend bring 1 scout who remembers flares. It be dark in hallow bough

Will be running again after I finish dog walk and all that. By far, a much friendlier dive than last week imho.

[fading sierra]

just finished the EDD in a gunner/engy duo, pretty manageable EDD overall
scariest thing was the stage 3 black box with exploder infestation
spammed gunner shields to bring it under control

pretty chill time otherwise

[swift ridge]

rule 4..?

you... didnt read the rules?

[maiden tundra]

edd was fairly simple for me
mostly cause my team was fairly competent

[tiny dagger]

we had to do the EDD as a duo (engy and driller) as two of our teammates rage quit (as gunner and scout) on stage 2

it was surprisingly so easy

even the black box wasn't a hazard

didnt even have to use iron will unlike a 4 person team

[still anvil]

So many bosses

Fun

[golden barn]

stage 1 edd was the only problem I had

[tiny dagger]

we went around the exploder infestation by running around like hell and using neurotoxin gernades

he shredded the dreadnoughts

[tiny dagger]

i mean it was mid

only problem i had with the edd was nitra

if we didn't have a duo we would be so dead

[dull stag]

Hehehe super cooling chamber go bang

[celest elm]

do deep dives have the same terrain generation every time?

[dull stag]

It giga chad scout time

[dull stag]

I think it has the same layout

but stuff like aquarq spawns might differ

[sharp tundra]

Nah

[sharp tundra]

True

The best part of this Edd was it was stupid ez to use a bulk to kill the hiveguard first stage

[humble harbor]

i decided pbm mole instead

[slender kettle]

dreadnaughts + exploder infestation is horrific

[humble harbor]

definitely a tough black box but no deaths

[thick sapphire]

got edd done, last black box was pretty tough

[humble harbor]

naw you can use them to your advantage ngl

[thick sapphire]

bugs coming from all directions

[muted vault]

Do you guys like rocks or stones?

[humble harbor]

bunch of em sat on og dread and blew em up

[thick sapphire]

at one point everyone went down but me i threw a shield and we all got back up

managed to have only 2 downs, one from driller c4 and one from getting yeeted by twins on stage 2

and died to fall dmg

joined someone's regular deep dive and it was last week's

so i left

[subtle gyro]

MY FRIEND AND I JUST BEAT OUR FIRST ELITE DEEP DIVE YEEEEEEAH

absolutely insane how good that feels

[fathom hollow]

how to create an image in this version

[thick sapphire]

got overdrive booster and ntp from the dives

[humble harbor]

nice.

[final fjord]

why cant i chat in drg chat

[sudden heart]

my friend is dead to me he put compressed gold in before we could spam ping it 😭

[tiny dagger]

get yourself a role that indicates the platform you play on

[wraith shard]

hehehe the EDD's name

[violet haven]

And bless you that you didn’t have to face any elite bulks

HINT HINT, IF THERE’S ELITE THREAT, EXPECT AT LEAST ONE ELITE BULK DETONATOR

[grave stirrup]

He has been fired your welcome random blue plant dog

[sudden heart]

thank you 🫡

[wraith shard]

Bro can you send me your pfp

I need to show it to my friends

[pulsar rivet]

ditto lmao

its amazing

[sudden heart]

sure bro I also got a lorax one

[wraith shard]

Amazing

[hot steeple]

Well hey, so to sum it up I never did a deep dive, ever

It's pretty intimidating...

[karmic sundial]

just think of it of a long mission

[hot steeple]

I saw some videos, yeah

[fallow niche]

^ Where u can’t spam all ur resupplies at the end

[hot steeple]

So if I just spare no lootbug, it should be fine?

[karmic sundial]

yeah, its even eaiser because you dont have secondary missions, no need to worry about minerals either

the only minerals r nitra and gold

you have 2 main missions

[hot steeple]

Ah, no secondary missions? That's a plus...

[fallow niche]

And u can skip the gold

[karmic sundial]

like mine morkite and get mules

or stuff like that

[hot steeple]

I dunno, I don't like skipping gold in any scenario

I don't have too many prestiges, Igot plenty to unlock

[karmic sundial]

if yuo play with 3 other people you will get gold likely

[fallow niche]

Apparently it’s inefficient time wise but if u wanna do it then do it

Not everyone is tryna speedrun optimize everything

[hot steeple]

It's just fun, what can I say lool

I break shiny thing, number go up, there isn't much to complain about

[fallow niche]

I feel like the sound design makes mining fun too

Gold and morkite sound nice

[hot steeple]

Yeah absolutely, it's really satisfactory

I do agree tho, gold could be a bit faster to handle...

[wicked mirage]

can someone tell me what the stages of this weeks deep dive is (normal not elite)

nvm

[tawny egret]

can we pin this? Would be nice to have it handy instead of scrolling thru chat

[full saddle]

whats wrong with the current pinned message?

[tawny egret]

huh

nvm

i just saw date 27.04

and got confused

[full saddle]

yeah it just gets edited every week

[tawny egret]

alright then i said nothing

also it got me wondering

why on dd/edd there is mostly elimination/eggs but rarely rafination/aquarks etc

[ancient cove]

It's even says in the first line:

Weekly Deep Dives information for 2023-08-17 to 2023-08-24.
Deep Dives will reset in 6 days
...

[tawny egret]

i already said nvm

[sharp tundra]

Ur biased cuz of secondary objectives

[pliant yoke]

<@&296918282403840000>

[turbid dawn]

rather the game mission combinations are biased, the only available missions for secondary are (morkite, 2 eggs, repair 2 mules,1 dread and blackbox afaik) and the pool for primary missions includes the other mission types as well.

[buoyant hawk]

Is Nemesis always in the last level of the EDD?

Or did me and my friend who has never done an EDD just super unlucky lmao

[turbid dawn]

seeded spawns are dependant on the number of players

[buoyant hawk]

So if there are two people then nemesis will appear?

[turbid dawn]

if it was a seeded spawn then yes

if it wasnt, you are just unlucky

[buoyant hawk]

Well lucky for me I clutched up >:3

A stingtail decided to really help out Nemmy today

If I wasn't a real gamer and didn't have heightened senses we would have lost instead of completely it first try!! <3

Stingtail grab me, pulls me into Nemesis, I quickly grapple away, stingtail grabs me again, repeat

[mighty bramble]

i cant join voice channels nor write messages anymore but didn't get muted (writing here cause its the only channel in witch i can write)

are there any rules i have to accept cause i cant find any

[pliant yoke]

#welcome-and-rules

[mighty bramble]

was there react to anything reactible didnt work

[vocal saddle]

how is this weeks EDD

[pliant yoke]

Oh, you’re right, the reactions are disabled for some reason. I suppose you will have to wait until they are back up

[mighty bramble]

okay thanks

[full saddle]

there have been issues with them for a while i think

[full saddle]

pretty easy, just bring good dread damage since theres dreads on each mission, every other objective is simple and theres enough nitra

kind of claustrophobic overall but its fine

[vocal saddle]

ok i will bring gunner

[surreal turtle]

Two bulks

What the fuck

[lost heart]

Just throw a leadburster

[turbid dawn]

does anyone know if there is a list of all of drg's servers?

[leaden cypress]

#fan-communities

[turbid dawn]

no i meant physical servers that they use not discord servers

[leaden cypress]

Oh

there's none

The game relies on P2P protocol only

[kindred spindle]

guys why cant i talk in drg chat but i can talk here?

and how do i get them roles

aight nvm

[solemn sequoia]

.

[floral lion]

twice ive tried EDD and twice engineer left after finishing first stage, is that usual?

[ancient cove]

Greenbeard? Who hosted?

Also what do you mean by left?

[summer coral]

Why are there so many dreadnoughts this edd

[fallow niche]

theyre multiplyin

[somber herald]

Cant wait to get a entire edd with JUST dreads

Would be fun, even though itll never happen

[delicate ledge]

my edd we had a swarm spawn while fighting the dreadnaught and a dude go afk in the drop pod

[delicate ledge]

That happend to me to was our engineer who went afk in the second stage so we kicked him

[arctic plover]

Is this EDD's rewards blank blank weapon or blank weapon cosmetic

[warped veldt]

its always blank weapon cosmetic

but if you have every weapon overclock it gets replaced with a blank

[lethal igloo]

Hi if you guys would recommend one of the cosmetic dlc’s which would you ?

Ah shoot wrong chat

Sorry

[arctic plover]

Huh

I remember one edd being blank blank weapon

Strange

[spiral badge]

so hows the difficulty of EDD vs DD this week?

[icy socket]

edd is sleeper until that black box

[arctic plover]

Yeah

That shit was rough

Iron Will is op

[jagged sun]

completed my first elite deep dive with @arctic plover just now

it was a bit close at one point with the black box but we did it

[arctic plover]

"A bit close"

Everyone was down

[jagged sun]

iron will is the best perk

dont @ me

that EDD was saved from the brink of death via iron will

[spark flint]

The EDD this week was so much better than last week's

Me and my friends cleared it as our first EDD and this was so much more forgiving lol

[reef temple]

where is my rock and stone soundboard?

[pastel roost]

Got a dread swarm right before the last dread of the second mission…had to try to fight a hive guard in a tight area

Got a really easy black box at the end so that was pretty lucky

[thick sapphire]

edd feels like it was relatively easy; did it with a random team got it first try, the only part that got a bit sketchy was the black box on stage 3

it's not a horrible spot but it's not a great one; the bugs can get to you from many directions plus the exploder warning

[arctic plover]

I much preferred last weeks to this one

[jagged rapids]

Congrats miner! Here's to ya getting many more

[jagged rapids]

Nice Stolas 😉

[spark flint]

I'm glad to see there's more Helluva Boss fans here lol

[spark flint]

The first stage ruined it for me

[arctic plover]

What was first stage again?

[spark flint]

Haz 4.5 shield disruption sabo was harder than the third stage of this week's deep dive

[arctic plover]

It was shield disruption industrial sabo right?3

[spark flint]

Yeah

[arctic plover]

I just saw it as free nitra tbh

Industrial sabo gave us enough nitra for the entire rest of the dive

[spark flint]

Me and my team were struggling with nitra the entire time

We probably could've been more ammo and health efficient though tbf lol

[queen patrol]

brutal reminder that industrial sabotages are indeed a thing that can happen in dives for some reason

[spark flint]

Industrial sabo dive missions are painful

This week's dives were both good, easy and fun dives

[jagged sun]

Haz 3 and 4 feels piss easy now

[jagged rapids]

Ya that happens tbh. But there's still fun in teaching new players. Pretty much the only reason I go into haz4 missions

Isn't challenging but it's rewarding knowing you're helping the community and getting folks thru what they struggle with

Honestly the only reason I do normal dives at this point instead of just elite dives

[dry root]

yeah after dabbling in modded diffs even haz 5 just feels comfy

also so many dreads this week lmao

[thorn hawk]

What are the dives today?

[ancient cove]

Pinned message...

[thorn hawk]

Ah, sorry

[iron mica]

Oh indeed! Cool!

[restive pumice]

e

[dry root]

this week's edd sucked not because of the difficulty but because of our driller did a bit of trolling and brought saw grenades

i got downed by saws and c4s more times than actual bugs

[tall adder]

DRG sends dwarves to "worst elite deep dive ever", asked to leave hoxxes.

[tall relic]

How do y'all fight twins as cryo driller?

Seems like trying to freeze the arbalest always gets me blasted by the lacerator since I usually have to look directly up

So I've just been hard targeting the lacerator

[zenith ember]

You dont, just freeze the lacerator

[sick tusk]

is there any fight mining gold in dd

?

[potent stratus]

?

??? wtf

why

[jagged rapids]

Bud, it's a bot or a troll. Just ignore

Reported and they did a dumb... Tagging the mod themselves

[potent stratus]

he is insulting somebody in german

[jagged rapids]

Ya I know

Resolved 🤌🏿

[still sonnet]

that was no world record

[potent stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/getting-out-here-adios-gtr32-goodbye-gif-24975043

[jagged rapids]

Yea definitely not speedy but 6 mins, not bad

[jagged rapids]

You mean is there any point?

No not really but if it's there and ya got time, go for it. Usually best practice to ignore hold mining on EDDs tho as ya wanna get in and get it but there's no rule and tbh sometimes the dive is easy/stress free enough to where ya might as well

On intense dives tho, definitely leave it. Not with spending the extra time if you're barely scraping by to survive the dive

My general recommendation is to leave the gold mining to normal missions

[spiral badge]

Woooooooooooow

Me: almost finishes DD1 solo with 0 revives left
Also me: finds last mini mule and gets ready to fix it
Surprise bulk: WATCH ME RUIN THIS MAN’S WHOLE CAREER

[vestal grotto]

Damn this week s EDD was very unfun playing as driller

[wraith shard]

Driller is probably the most polarizing character

Was it the map generation?

[sweet axle]

I've not done an elite deep dive before, do public lobbies get upset if you aren't a god gamer

tried it solo but 💀

[leaden cypress]

No but they'd expect you to have been used to haz5 already

[sharp tundra]

This Edd was pretty boring ngl

[sweet axle]

ok I'll just do it solo then

[sharp tundra]

It’s not easy or hard. It’s just boring

The only fun part is the first mission cuz u can one phase the hiveguard using a bulk pretty easily

[sweet axle]

wish me luck on stage 3

[sweet axle]

yeah I didn't make it through uplink. once I got downed the first time it was pretty much over

that's a bit brutal, couldn't recover from it, so I lost all my lives one after the other within a few seconds of bosco ressing me

[oblique thunder]

the mods here don't have an easy life..

[cloud sentinel]

What haz do you usually play

[sweet axle]

4, I've only done 1 hazard 5 mission, and I did that online

[cloud sentinel]

I would go do an EDD then fk it

[sweet axle]

eh I already did 2/3 of it solo. might do it online later, especially if a friend wants to anyways

[cloud sentinel]

I mostly play haz 4 and I usually finish EDD' s altought some weeks i need more than one try

If you did 2 stages you got enought out of it

[sweet axle]

yeah, but that last 1 will taunt me for the rest of the week

[cloud sentinel]

Yeah I get it

[tall relic]

Is using satchels on the hiveguard's weakpoints a good strat?

I tried it in a regular mission and it messed up the terrain pretty bad

But I was also using rock mover

Either way I feel like the weakpoints are so easy to take down that it isn't worth it

[fast stratus]

Imo also not worth it

Terrain fuckup is too big even without RM

[tall relic]

Yeah that's what I was thinking

[ashen marten]

What mission types are on this week's regular deep dive?

[sweet axle]

it's pinned

[lament trail]

If you airburst it you can do okay at minimizing terrain damage, take a bit of effort though

[maiden yew]

I've been trying to dúo the EDD but haven't been able to survive the second mission. My friend is playing ice cannon driller, I'm not sure which class would the best to complement the driller, anyone have any tips on that?

[nimble ember]

On my run I had an ice cannon driller. I was an engineer running Lok-1, 2-1-1-1 config with explosive chemical rounds. Felt pretty good with the driller freezing enemies and then I line up shots

[marble ember]

Someone call the moderators, clean up on channel 3

[maiden yew]

Nice, I have that OC so I'll try that

[peak gust]

That deep dive was a nightmare

Maybe I shouldn't of gone as a driller

[raven carbon]

Was there a nitra problem on this week's edd

Normally nitra is in excess

It was suspiciously low in all stages and just ran out in stage 3

Down to pickaxing dreads in stage 3 and reviving in turns

[silver crypt]

Just finished my first EDD, so stoked right now

[ancient cove]

It feels like that way, because you have much more to deal with

I was actually talking it as EDD refreshed this week. That Nitra might be tight

#deep-dive-discussion message

[mellow relic]

might be a but late but stage 1/2 of EDD has potential to spawn Bulk Dett

[shrewd mason]

it was really tight, at the end we were just all running with no amo, there wasn t enough nitra for the whole mission

but still achievable ahaha

[keen cedar]

Yeah we had ammo issues doing it, combination of low nitra maps and excessive dreadnaughts meaning high ammo usage

[oblique thunder]

we've been running on the edge but it was fine for us. I think this is the standard of what I'd expect for an EDD: you have enough, but you best not waste it or you'll be sorry

[keen cedar]

For stages 1 and 3 you are best to rush the dreads as much as possible as taking your time will mean swarmers/exploders wear your limited ammo down

[oblique thunder]

yeah, the swarmers and exploder really test your ammo/speed. it pays to have efficient swarmer removal, to play with exploder detonations and to be fast.

I liked this EDD a lot, but I expect more experienced players to feel like it was bland. Especially compared to last week 😁

[keen cedar]

I found it annoying but mostly because the terrain was a pain in the arse 😛

Still enjoyed it though

[raven carbon]

Yeah good call

Barely any lootbugs either

[ancient cove]

It might be a good idea to kill Dread first, get Nitra, then pull all eggs asap and run

[raven carbon]

None of us expected the nitra situation to be this bad

And the team was fairly experienced

I think another reason is swarmageddon and exploder infestation are both ammo sponges too

Plus so many dreads

[keen cedar]

Yeah the biggest danger is if you dont know in advance you dont expect nitra to be a problem because normal deep dives are fucking full off the stuff

[mighty vessel]

the hell was this edd

whipped at the black box

no ammo at all

[raven carbon]

I've played EDDs with like 500 nitra left over so this was new

[raven carbon]

Yeah

[keen cedar]

Yeah most deep dives elite or normal we get to stage 3 and are then just spamming resource drops for fun

Because we can

[raven carbon]

Exactly

[devout beacon]

anyone know what is the current EDD

[oblique thunder]

#deep-dive-discussion message it's also in the pins

[oblique thunder]

overall, the terrain is a bit of a pain, nitra is limited but proper ammo management should get you through fine, lots of swarmers and there's a lot of dreads to get through.

[devout beacon]

k

[oblique thunder]

don't linger longer than you need to, or the swarmagueddon and exploder infestation will put more stress on your ammo

[analog pollen]

running AU EDD if anyones keen

[earnest aspen]

trying to do my first Deep Dive right now, but no one seems to be joining randomly, anyone interested?

[oblique thunder]

have you checked the right box?

what's your steam name?

[earnest aspen]

yeetman, same as here
what box do you mean?

[oblique thunder]

I can't see you in the lobby list

under the dive selection (DD or EDD) there are 3 boxes

solo, private public

private is by default

[earnest aspen]

i found the problem, i checked it to public now

i have some mods too, could that be a problem?

just some light visual things

[oblique thunder]

depends if they are verified or not

[earnest aspen]

i got them from the verified section in the browser

[oblique thunder]

it's weird, I still can't find you in the list

try to cancel it and select it again

[earnest aspen]

i'll look through the mods first, just to make sure

should be there now

[oblique thunder]

... so weird. still can't see

[earnest aspen]

could be a region thing then?

[oblique thunder]

maybe? Europe, france here

[earnest aspen]

Sweden here

so it can't be that-

i got a random now though, so it makes less sense

[vague hawk]

what's your lobby name ?

[earnest aspen]

should be goop masters if i did it right

[vague hawk]

I see you

[earnest aspen]

lobby's full now though, sorry

oh, nvermind

[oblique thunder]

ok, when i searched for it it showed, and now it's in my list

what matters is that people can find you 😁

[vague hawk]

Yep

[earnest aspen]

ye, thanks for that help at least :)

[karmic sundial]

yay, completed dd

as engi with loki and shard

[short bloom]

C4 + Fatboy + Sticky Mines

Under a dread

'Chef's kiss'

[icy halo]

With cryo

If that works on dread I forgor

[weary tree]

guys guys how do i find those servers that give tons of cargo crates and minerals and tons of xp

[fading blaze]

whats the fastest we can do a deep dive ?

[patent elk]

As fast as your skills let you complete it

[short bloom]

It does but doesn't last long at all, you need coordination on when to drop the burst

[icy halo]

I like to thing of myself as an demomaster

[short bloom]

Like, right before the freeze meter fills up, the c4 has to already be placed and the fatboy has to be on its way to tap dread ass

[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!
_ _

[digital obsidian]

Hello thinking of doing my first elite deep dive and I got some questions : Is this a good week to try and complete one? Should I do it solo or with others ? What is the best class for this week’s dive?

[solemn hemlock]

ammo is tight cause of how many dreads there are

your team has to coordinate when dealing with them to minimise waste, I'd say this ones a bit on the harder side

especially if driller runs cryo and engi runs laser, they work against each other on dreads and overall waste a ton of potential damage

[keen cedar]

I would say this weeks its more difficult than average due to it being very ammo limited/hungry and the terrain being a pain.

I wouldnt let that put you off trying it just if it all goes tits up be aware its normally easier than this 1

[cloud sentinel]

Just jump in!

I think there are many dreads so grab some single target dmg

[thick stirrup]

Hi guys, how can I connect to the any channel? I dont have permission for this

[wraith shard]

Deep dive ended this way:
Hivegaurd, praetorian, bulk, oppressor
in a room the size of a cocoon

[still geode]

if u kill the bulk that solves all the issues :)

[pure tapir]

I loathe Azure Weald, it's to bloody dark.

[dark grove]

yo why can i never talk in drg chat

and how do i get roles

[pure tapir]

🤷‍♂️

[dark grove]

oh shit i figured it out

[midnight lance]

This was my first deep dive elite we got to stage 3 literally had it finished and died trying to escape

Rough all randoms no comms

That was hell on earth

[toxic orchid]

a

why is ti that im in mighty miners but in the miner community thing in the game i usually only see th "join the discord" thing and not ow my "community" is doing w the challenges or whatnot

[wise ridge]

we just had an epic fail of epic proportions in edd

in 3rd stage we bunkered and succeeded in getting black box but then while digging out a distance away there was a hole

before we managed to leave tunnel, exploders group came and blew up all 4 simultaneously

as icing on the cake, one of us had IW and used it but way too late so the mission ended in fail anyway

[somber basin]

Lol that's hilarious

I had a similar situation last night, but one dwarf escaped. I was left behind trying to save a downed dwarf that couldn't manage to stay up. I used all four shields in vain.

[tall wigeon]

mission: liquid morkite

me: driller
he: engi

maybe the kick function shouldn't be unlockable until level 200.. i was just kicked by someone who built his pipes in a completely complicated way, so i disassembled his pipes and drilled a direct tunnel to the pumps.. and as a cherry on top you only get 25% of the minerals, which ruins the fun.. =/

[solemn hemlock]

Maybe don't unbuild people's pipes and let them play the game instead of micromanaging?

[tiny portal]

I had the same thing a lot, turns out it doesnt register if you are offline on discord, so you need to turn on your online status on discord for the miner community to work

[sweet grotto]

just failed 3rd cave EDD and came to see what everyone was thinking 'bout the lack of nitra

that was fun

i just had the bunker idea under the floor a little too late

and our gunner was running AOE damage with dreads every stage, so unlucky HAHA, no way we could've know that

[humble harbor]

here's a tip for that particular EDD, look up

that extra nitra vein might just be hanging over your head

[thick sapphire]

my random team didn't bunker for the black box but i did have to throw a bunch of shields and rez a bunch

the spot isn't horrible by any means but it doesn't really funnel the bugs at all so it's a bit chaotic with them coming from all directions

[wraith shard]

Why does the hive guard exist

[arctic plover]

To guard the hive

[wraith shard]

I've been having more trouble in the normal deep dive than the edd

Because I keep getting a hiveguard in this one fucking room

And its super cramped because of the pillar structures and his weakpoints are never not clipped into the terrain

[arctic plover]

The hiveguard is a seeded spawn

There will always be a hiveguard in that egg

Break the egg and lead him to a better room to fight

[wraith shard]

I thought as much because I was like "damn drg hates me, lemme retry so I dont get a hiveguard"

[arctic plover]

Like spawn

All deep dive spawns are seeded

[wraith shard]

I tried but I got killed on the way

[arctic plover]

Try again

That’s all I got

[wraith shard]

I just wanna know who thought it was ok to make this thing

I'm losing my mind

[rancid cedar]

not all

[wraith shard]

I decided to try again a 4th time

And the dread in the cancer area is now a normal dread

So it wasn't seeded

God just hates me

[wraith shard]

how hard is the EDD this week? bough is pretty insufferable so i might skip it

[hidden stratus]

So for assignments, since the particular mission doesn't actually matter, just the mission typer matters, how does the game decide which mission to mark? I just tested it by playing a much easier egg mission than the one it pinged and it still counted for my assignment.

[slender flicker]

whats a fgood breach cutter loadout

for dd

[wraith shard]

MFW I have to do industrial sabotage, refinery, and salvage in a deep dive

[jagged rapids]

Sorry bud, this isn't true. That was a bug, the mission that is marked is supposed to be the only one that counts. Otherwise it would just be to do any "egg hunt" for example, but that's not how it actually works and tbh I'm surprised ya managed to get that kind of bug. Never whichever it before myself

[raven carbon]

For this week there are plenty of dreads. For a mix of crowd control and decent damage, if you're looking for a breach cutter build only, lightweight cases is a good build

Really depends on your team tbh

[tall wigeon]

no, the thing is, I almost had the pipe ready and he broke it before me again. he didn't let me play.. =I

[brave hare]

Never under estimate somebody's ego

[tall wigeon]

I overestimate most people, but it's very ridiculous when a level 100 kackboon can just kick you when it doesn't suit him anymore. I still have to think how can you be so shitty character in such a fun team game.. I will only be the host myself in the future, enough with such elves. ^^ (thanks for the helpful comments like this > "let him play his game"..)

[brave hare]

2023 😄

The mindset is going to be even better in the incoming future 👀

[zenith ember]

Conflict of ideas lol, maybe he just wanted a mini rollercoaster over the usual straight line pipes

[hardy grove]

Maybe he was trying to unlock the Roller Coaster achievement. They should have probably made the game private, so that doesn't excuse the behavior, but you can chalk it up to that.

[eternal veldt]

Guys, where to watch the spoiler deep dives. It's boring to play. With the same build for all occasions.

?

[leaden cypress]

i don't get your last 2 sentences but you can see the deep dives' content in the pinned message

[eternal veldt]

Thx

[wise ridge]

the bulldoze way is what we did
there is a wall opposite to entrance from the black box. also the cliff is angled there. well, enough drills fuel and digging satchels can take care of that

also i slowed them down with flamer burning trails and spinned to win all the time

exploders can't surprise spawn if they are out in the open and also forced to pass the trail that lasts 10 secs

siege isnt easy by all means but im pretty sure nobody dropped during it, we did many times on dreads tho

[wheat tundra]

agreed, for some reason there is a lot of toxic and incompetent people that instantly go full karen when you try to help and explain something to them

guess its the downside of a game gaining popularity and a larger player base

had the same issue in normal DD just now some guy basically pinged for me to go somewhere as scout and made me grappel into a cave leech then after the DD went on a lecture of how he knew the leech was there and how it was a lesson to make me check for them because in his (he was lvl 170) hundreds of hours he has met many incompetent scouts like me

sometimes i think the kick feature should be turned into a vote kick with people in a squad having less votes to stop possible abuse of the system

[quaint verge]

Sorry, where i can find mod for testing room?

[celest ruin]

this edd makes me want to die my goodness

cave gen is brutal

[dense pebble]

Hit escape ingame, there’s a modding tab. Clock manage mods and it’ll take you to the website that does that, integrated through steam.

Don’t remember the name specifically but it should be a fairly easy search.

[quaint verge]

Thanks

[outer cloud]

this edd was ass fucking hell

so far everything has been relatively easy but this...

[dense pebble]

Did you build for the dread fights at all?

Hollow Bough is annoying sure but the mutators are pretty low level this time around

[outer cloud]

played with 2 other people and tbh we lacked aoe more than anything

ran almost completely dry on ammo on stage 1

goddamn swarmers

[subtle frost]

Azure weald refinery was pain

[keen sandal]

Hey would anyone like to help me with the current DDE? I just need to complete the second stage for the overclock.

[somber basin]

I've noticed a lot of people struggling this week. I can't seem to put together a team that can beat the EDD under 45 mins.

51 minutes is my record so far

But it's usually at least 1:15

Just finished with a team of greenies in 1:40. Someone had 40 deaths lol

I had 1019 kills haha

[wild spire]

Does anyone know how blistering necrosis overclock for the colette wave cooker currently works? Everything I could find in it suggests it's either extremely overpowered or inconsistent. I don't know when the last patch for it was.

[still geode]

its mega inconsistent

10% proc chance

its strong when it activates but its sooooooo rng

[wild spire]

But is the damage out put worth it or are you just better off without it? Would it just be easier too shoot the weak point than the blister?

I don't mind the rng if it means more damage.

[somber basin]

I like blistering necrosis better than the other OC's. Very strong on my set up

[thick sapphire]

yeah some prep can make it easier

without prep the most important thing is probably gunner staying alive

assuming he has enough shields saved up

only thing is my gunner playstyle tends towards shooting only at clear targets rather than blindly spraying, plus i took lsls so i'm not that great at dealing with the swarms/waves when they're coming from 360 degrees around

that and it gets hard to focus on targets when they're getting close to your six as well

unless i use a shield

and the lsls bhopping is something i need to practice more as well

aoe stuff like hurricane builds i find easier to hold an open position with as gunner

[tiny portal]

I did the EDD first try with big bertha autocannon (and a single target DPS brt7, could also be bulldog or something). Big bertha provides good single target dps for dreads while maintaining swarmer clearing potential, and the secondary has even more single target dps. If that doesnt work use a more swarm clearing secondary like hellfire coilgun

[royal pollen]

hey

[wraith shard]

How's this week's EDD?

Deciding if I wanna do it or not

[sweet grotto]

be ready for nitra starve xd

[wraith shard]

Oh god okay

[kindred coyote]

the nitra is solid on stage 1

doing it true solo i used one resupply ofc but had 2 for stage 2

but i was using guns with like half the upgrades missing so im sure u can get thru with a lot less

and i pulled one egg

massive room for optimization

[boreal patio]

first time getting EDD done, I'm not sure if I'm just bad or something, but I've tried previous weeks with m1k but could never get it done, first tried it this week with GK2 with 5a mod, that bonus movement speed is insane I feel like, I didn't even have any OCs for GK2 (cause I don't own any), just double barrel on shotty. I assume dreadnaughties are just the easiest when doing solo cause of scaling, but anyway I'm GK2 adept now. Probably helped that 1st and 3rd stages have piles of nitra too

[kindred coyote]

edds are the hardest thing in vanilla man its expected to take a while to be able to beat them

[olive topaz]

Just did my first ever 1st stage

Should I reload at the supply pod

Or does the rest of ammo and things transfer

Cause I already called one but only took 2 resupplies

[boreal patio]

always take all the ammo if you got spare resupply before going to the next stage, ammo/health not taken from resupply not going to come with you going deeper

[kindred coyote]

speaking of solo edds i thought itd be a good strat to pull 4 eggs at once

it kinda worked right

up until a bulk missed me and popped the dread

i was doing it true solo and i get hit with that shit bru

[olive topaz]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I fell right before boarding the drop pod and didn't have any revives left from Bosco fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

[boreal patio]

that's sadge

[runic crown]

trying to do EDD But cant seem to hop into any games. How much different from regular deep dive is it?

[subtle barn]

If you can run solo haz5 you'll be fine

[runic crown]

i have not tried solo haz 5

i can do solo haz 4

[boreal patio]

DD is 3 - 3.5 - 3.5, EDD is 4.5-5-5.5. EDD is the hardest content in vanilla, I would definitely try soloing some easier missions like mining expo or eggs on haz5 before hopping into public EDD

[runic crown]

ive done haz 5 missions, even some of the harder ones, but im curious if missions are different or the mutation's are stuff like that

[boreal patio]

not really, mutators are set for the week just like regular DD

[stark swan]

Why do cows wear bells?

Because their horns don't work

XD

[wraith shard]

I have finally beaten

The normal deep dive

Why

The fuck

Was it so much tougher than the EDD this week

EDD was a sleeper until exploder infestation black box

Whereas this DD is probably the least fun I've had playing this game

I was also going to cry if I somehow failed last second because I used IW and it ALSO took my last revive, when I used IW specifically to avoid using it

[compact cave]

The normal deep dice was ez

THE ELITE IS CANCER

[wraith shard]

I genuinely think otherwise

This was the first EDD I solod successfully

This is the first DD I failed more than once solo

I never look up what modifiers are in deep dives so sometimes I get fucked over or I just abort because I didng like it with driller or the weapon I chose, etc.

So each DD i do usually has one failure

[compact cave]

Waiting on it to reroll so i can grind for salvo module

[wraith shard]

EDDs ive just never succeeded in soloing till now

Its wild bro

Also I already have salvo

What this DD gave me was the more ammo oc for breach cutter

Which is awesome

EDD gave me fucking minimal magazines

[compact cave]

Oh shoot i still havent done the mission that gives me 6 modules

Def gonna get to work othat

[wraith shard]

What mission

[compact cave]

Forgot what it was called

Its the required mission for the weekly matrix core mission

[wraith shard]

Idr getting cores before doing weekly matrix core hunts

Other than what you get from your first promotion

[compact cave]

Prob new mission for new players

Im quite new to the game

[wraith shard]

I'm pretty new

Got it back in April I think

Around when I got gamepass to get ggst

[compact cave]

I had the game sitting in my library but i couldnt play it

At the time i had a crappy laptop

Couldnt run it

Now i can

[wraith shard]

I didnt know it existed on xbox

I also didnt know it existed till like

February

Which is weird cause I follow a guy on twitch and constantly got notifications

[compact cave]

Just started playing drg a week ago

[wraith shard]

"Xxxxx is playing: deep rock galactic"

But he played a few old ass games i never heard of so I assumed that deep rock galactic was another one of those old ass games I never heard of

And I never watched

Then my friend streamed on discord and was jumping around shooting with a cheese gun to stand on things and shoot bugs and had a turret and a lil robot and my neurons activated

[wraith shard]

Ok well maybe it is a new addition

Man where are my free 6 matrix cores

[compact cave]

Gimme two seconds ill boot up my pc and find the assignment

[wraith shard]

I need more colors and fat boy

[compact cave]

Friend req me

[wraith shard]

I play on Xbox not pc

[tardy wedge]

I hated this weeks elite deep dive

The first two dreadnought side missions were bad enough and on the last one it smacks you with a main dreadnought objective

Saw the big picture you ain’t fooling me

[manic pivot]

ATTENTION MINERS!
Planet scanning is now booting up, 24 hours left until new Deep Dives!

[runic relic]

At least you know what to build for, instead of only fighting one dread with swarm setup

[wintry cobalt]

help, i can not join the pods

[patent frost]

Try to refresh discord

[swift wasp]

jo my grenades from engi dosnt work

the splitter with mini robots she despawn after the throw

all 4 grenades

WHY this is absoluty pain

but only in deep dive dosnt work in normal misions work it

[quasi rune]

hi

[jagged rapids]

Are you throwing a second grenade right after the first one?

[lucid sun]

бля ребята, я вас люблю

вы просто шикарны

ваша игра отлична

я готов дать вам все свои деньги и девственность

забирайте

[burnt sandal]

#fan-communities

[swift wasp]

no and my friend have the same bug

i throw the next grenade after 10sek and nothing come out or say she comes out and despawn instantly

[jagged rapids]

Huh, not sure then

should report / ask in #bug-discussion or #1037308906516521010
This isn't really the best channel tbh

[swift wasp]

yes i know thanks i report this bug after my mision

[jagged rapids]

If you throw a grenade while your previous one is still active, it will despawn but it's supposed to only despawn the first group of shredders

you can only have one shredder group at a time but sounds like that's still not the issue but worth noting. Kinda pointless to throw a second grenade until the first one is done tbh

[swift wasp]

right! but nothing spawns! thats the bug and this bug make the grenades useless this not good for the game

[jagged rapids]

Yea I got ya which is why I said it doesn't seem to be your issue.

Was more just a note about using the shredder grenades in general. I see a lotta new players throw them back to back expecting 8+ shredders to spawn 🤣

Or throwing some when a swarm starts even tho they still have active ones floating around

Hope it gets fixed tho. I'd be annoyed too. I love the shredder grenades

[solemn hemlock]

Definitely taking another crack at this mission tonight, any loadout recs?

Ive been running full electric stubby and overdrive shard for engi and it feels worthwhile

I have a fair few OCs but not all the big ones.

[manic pivot]

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

[hushed sequoia]

the shredders have a duration of 40 seconds, if you're throwing a second grenade after 10 seconds they will despawn

[olive topaz]

What are the rewards for EDD

?

Cause I don't really wanna do it but if the rewards are worth perhaps I'll try it

[sonic wave]

Blank Core, Weapon Core, Cosmetic Core, higher EXP and Ore Rewards compared to normal Deep Dives.

they're really easy if you have a good team tbh

[olive topaz]

Sounds good

[wraith shard]

Higher ore rewards?

[pure gazelle]

bruh this EDD is so ammo thirsty

[celest ruin]

ore?

[sonic wave]

minerals, whatever.

you get the idea

[jagged rapids]

ZERO ore

[celest ruin]

theres...no ore in deep dives

[jagged rapids]

The only minerals that spawn in deep dives are nitra and gold (I guess morkite but that's a mission objective)

Beyond that, the only way you'll end up with other ore is if a stage has a huuli hoarder

[sonic wave]

you get other minerals for completing it I'm pretty sure

[jagged rapids]

No you don't

Trust me

[sonic wave]

I have.

[jagged rapids]

You can get mineral overclock... If you have ALL other overclocks

So no, you don't. That only happens when the game has no other rewards to give you

And it only applies to the last stage

The first 2 stages will just give blank overclock if you have every cosmetic and weapon dlc.

Last stage will give an ore overclock that gives 120 of a mineral when forged

Yet again, you can get ore if there's a huuli hoarder. But the caves will not spawn minerals in the wall like a normal mission.

Only gold and nitra (and morkite if that's one of the objectives)

[zenith ember]

you can only get other minerals from hoarder(if it even spawns), it doesnt spawn naturally

[raven carbon]

No you do not

[wanton acorn]

sm1 wanna go deep dive?

[wraith shard]

Why does the game give you blanks if you have all the weapon and cosmetic OCs

[viscid hedge]

What else would it give you

[cloud sentinel]

Would you rather get nothing

[spiral badge]

Wow, regular DD hates me this week

[hearty hill]

looking for 3 ppl to go deep diving

[fading summit]

hey guys before i start my first deep dive some questions:

• what is considered dumb/rude to do? (think staying for mining gold etc)
• is it normal to just go through it as fast as possible? or do you go for secondary objectives etc?

[pliant yoke]

Collecting more nitra than you need is wasteful (it’s not rude/stupid, but the sooner you end the dive, the better, so learn what is currently important to you and your team in a level)

Also, you have to complete secondary objectives. They are not optional in DDs

Mining gold is kind of pointless, unless you are waiting for your team to regroup or are waiting for some timed objective to finish, etc.

[toxic orchid]

if im invisible on steam, can my friends still see me if they press "c" to invite someone to their team?

[fading summit]

thanks!

[tough skiff]

dont call in supply drop in random spots, usually people try to not use a supply drop in the first stage if possible

if you call supply don't call it at the top of the room but rather at the bottom so less mobile classes dont have to parkour up to it without ammo

[manic pivot]

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

[sly kettle]

Soon™

[ancient cove]

Dogs**t advice. It only applies to the last stage. Before, you don't know how much Nitra you will need and should get anything you can.

[pliant yoke]

No, I don’t think you do need to do that, but I’m not willing to continue this argument for the sake of further elaboration

But if you’re ending your DD with an overabundance of nitra, you did not need it. If you are ending your DD with not enough nitra (I.e., losing or greatly struggling to reach the escape pod), then you were probably going too slow or didn’t prioritise getting enough nitra when you needed to.

[ancient cove]

Etiquette is pretty much the same as for normal missions. Beside that Gold is always optional.
Like others said, you should be mindful about Resupplies, where do you call them and how much. Normally, you don't know how much Nitra you will get during all the Stages. If you play with randoms, you don't know how resourceful they are with the ammo and therefore you should get any Nitra you can.
If your team agrees, you can try and rush missions and the whole Deep Dive, but overall rushing on your own is rude and most of the time not needed, especially in a normal Deep Dive.

[vivid scarab]

oh hell yeah
doesn't sound too bad
EDD might turn out alright this time

[karmic sundial]

finally an edd wihtout dreadnought

And dd dreadnought dont seem too bad

[zenith ember]

edd should be easy enough

[dark umbra]

well we had a Hiveguard on stage one of the EDD 😅

[zenith ember]

that gotta be a dreadful situation for you guys

[stray bane]

i hate hollow bough

[tranquil parrot]

I had a bulk spawn in front of the drop pod on the EDD

Killed 3 people

[celest elm]

hollow bough 💀

fuck hollow bough

[humble harbor]

oh dude

that EDD is calling for driller's name like no tmmrw

[fathom shore]

On first edd bulk detonator went to us then walked away and hid until the ending lmao

[karmic flame]

ho

ly

shit

this EDD was insanely fun

as scout

its probably hell as anyone else

[still anvil]

Why

[karmic flame]

biiiiig open spaces

with a lot of platforms

and other things to land on

[jovial tinsel]

playing scout in edd rn really fun first stage

[karmic flame]

all stages are

[jovial tinsel]

brought sp aswell 😎

[karmic flame]

i basically just kited the bugs around the whole mission

[fathom shore]

I had 3 detonators in my edd is that normal lmao

[jovial tinsel]

yes

[fathom shore]

I was stuck in small room with 2 at once😭

[tiny dagger]

the first stage is a scout playground?

[upbeat palm]

I have not been able to make it past stage one in the EDD 😭

The entire team's ammo keeps running out before we can kill the dreadnaught because it's all spent killing the constant swarmers

Oh wait I guess it reset today?

[stray bane]

fuck hollow bough

[tiny dagger]

pickaxe?

don't waste ammo on swarmers

[upbeat palm]

Normally I would agree but there were so many
Actual carpet of pink spiders

[sleek crag]

in stage 3 EDD theres salvage mules or repair?

[dense pebble]

Gotta build for it

Engi’s good especially, use double turrets with ammo mod

Shard diffractor with AoE is also quite effective.

Scout cryo nades are good, and can combo with driller cryo to freeze dreads if you want.

Carpet bomber thunderhead is super effective, just bring something like elephant rounds or lead spray for dreadnought damage.

[woven anvil]

this edd was super easy lol

[karmic sundial]

Just let the driller deal with iy

[sonic wave]

This week's deep dives look easy. The hardest one I feel like would be low O2 on Dreads but that's still haz 3.5

then again, I wanna ask, how was it for y'all?

[karmic sundial]

Easy aswell

EDD last stage was medium

[outer meteor]

hi guys

Is the server having issues causing the game to slow down?

[oblique thunder]

Games are peer to peer, the host acts as the server kinda

[spiral badge]

I think it’s more everyone connects to the host/each other and the host just asks the server for map data, spawns etc

Unless every spawn and everything that happens is seeded which I don’t think everything is

[oblique thunder]

does it ask the server for maps and spawns? I don't believe it does, we seemed to have been able to play in a sort of LAN with a few friends last time and it's something that could be handled with logic on the host?

but I don't know enough about the subject and DRG to go deeper 😔

[spiral badge]

Yeah a lot of it is seeded but the game definitely puts extra mustard on if you’re handling swarms fairly easily, at least in DDs anyway

So there’s some reactionary stuff going on that isn’t seeded

[cloud sentinel]

there is some kind of game director

Yeah that’s probably what it’s called

[old widget]

the game does not scale difficulty dynamically based on how well you are doing, at least not directly. about the only thing I can think of that fits that category is the spawn cap, where if you kill bugs too slowly you can actually end up hitting the cap and therefore get fewer total bugs than if you kill them faster. but it's rare to hit the spawn cap in unmodded play unless you're really trying (like popping 4 eggs at once)

wiki has some good info on this: https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Swarm

no L4D-style Director pulling the strings here, though that would be kinda cool

[spiral badge]

Really feels like there is

[old widget]

I mean, there's still a lot of complexity and variability in enemy composition and numbers, which can create situations where it feels like the game is dynamically responding to how well you're doing. But it's just coincidence

[wide onyx]

whats the missions

[old widget]

there's also some hard caps on certain enemy types, like disruptive enemies (bulks, stingtails) can only have 2-3 on the entire map at a time, so killing those quickly can open the door for more to spawn

[old widget]

see the pins

[patent elk]

How's edd this week? Doesn't look too bad from first glance

[outer cloud]

looks like it, sandblasted corridors is one of the easiest biomes imo

[karmic sundial]

its pretty easy

stage 3 is kinda tough

[ancient cove]

Am I the only who gets network errors latly?

[civic yoke]

if you are sure that you are only having network problems on drg you could download the network test build and send a log, #1037308906516521010 pinned thread and follow the pinned messages there

[ancient cove]

I'm not sure, that's why I'm asking.
I saw already multiple times people disconnect at the last Stage of Deep Dives over last weeks. Since they never came back, I don't know the reason.
But I had lastly few disconnects in normal missions as well. Just shortly, I got a "Network Error" in chat and the server connection was clearly lost, since all Dwarfs froze. I had to leave manuelly and reconnect to the lobby.

[civic yoke]

I haven't had any problems, i play on xbox servers tho

[plucky anvil]

EDD doesnt seem too bad this week

The refinery is placed in such a deep hole in stage 1 it was tough to move around lol

[oak pecan]

Any special spawns on the EDD?

I got a Bet-C on stage 1 of the regular DD

[karmic sundial]

Its randomized

[humble harbor]

thar be bulks in the pool

hopefully none during black box

[mint bough]

is there a point too killing a nemesis in a deepdive?

found one on stage 1 regular

[cunning flame]

i'm looking for a squad for the regular deep dive. rendez-vous in the pod number 4

[civic yoke]

i mean if you dont he will kill you so

[jagged sun]

what are the missions for the deep dive today? (not edd)

would rather not go in blind solo

[fast stratus]

Pins

[safe gulch]

What the, more dreadnaughts?

[thick sapphire]

attempting edd with randoweisser

[thick sapphire]

we died on stage 2 lol

nobody had iw, swarms got us

[sour flare]

Fire idea sir.

[tiny dagger]

2 Dreadnought, black box (stage 1) (look out for nemesis, he has a increased chance of spawning) 250 Morkite, 2 Mini mules, pretty ez, and then low o2 2 dreadnoughts and 150 morkite

[sharp bison]

can you guys help me find out who I want to main?

[tiny dagger]

just play them all

also grab yourself a platform role

if you want to talk in DRG chat

[sharp bison]

I have and since this is such a great game I dont know who to pick

[sharp bison]

how do I get that?

[tiny dagger]

#welcome-and-rules

[sharp bison]

thx

[jagged sun]

I already did both deep dives but thanks

[arctic plover]

This EDD was fun

Ngl

The three bulk dets on stage 1 was a little monkaS but other then that it was great

[raven carbon]

Survival

[wraith shard]

Thats overrated

You can survive with the tanky dwarf killing machine specifically made to kill dwarves trying to kill you, a dwarf

[jagged sun]

bro carried so hard

the three bulk dets on one stage was fucking nuts tho

[runic relic]

That moves at 2meters/minute

[drowsy garden]

Why can't I talk in #drg-chat

[patent elk]

Pick 1 and play until you reach rank 10 or so before you switch classes and try them all out. Whichever one you like the most keep playing that to see if you'll like it long term. If you still can't decide then try each class until you get promoted before switching.

[tough skiff]

yes from now on you are scout main. this is final and not negotiable

[sharp tundra]

This Edd was pretty enjoyable

Was pretty well rounded in challenges, while still giving tons of nitra. I died a lot to stupid mistakes tho lol

[tall relic]

I kinda wish there was a penalty for leaving in the middle of a deep dive

Leave once and you won't be able to get XP from it. Leave a second time and you won't be able to get overclocks from it. Leave a third time and you won't be able to attempt it outright

Something like that would be great

Cause I get that random disconnects can happen and sometimes people have to leave due to emergencies, but more often than not it's obvious rage quits and it's super annoying

I feel obligated to play driller every EDD because of how bad you can get screwed over by having a driller that rage quits

[sharp tundra]

Gunner more important than driller

Driller only missed in refinery and sometimes mining

[tall relic]

Good thing our gunner rage quit early during stage 1..

But nah driller was helpful for stage 2

For this EDD specifically

A good driller is also important for sabo and salvage/black boxes depending on how bad the terrain is

[sharp tundra]

Driller was useful first stage

None of the rest

[tall relic]

I made stage 2 go a lot faster

Especially with how far away some of the aquarqs were

[sharp tundra]

It’s sandblasted corridors lol

You rlly don’t need a driller that badly

[tall relic]

Yeah ig

[sharp tundra]

Ziplines and grapple will do the job

[tall relic]

There were a few aquarqs in pretty bad spots tho

Near where all the morkite veins were

[sharp tundra]

Ziplines and grapple hook

[tall relic]

I just dug a tunnel straight to the minehead cause hauling them around would've been annoying

Like I don't even mean hard to reach

Just hard to bring back to the minehead

[fallen python]

Yo what's the difference between an elite dive from a normal one?

[vale walrus]

elite dives require you beat a regular dive first before unlocking them. they are also (in general) much harder then the regular deep dives

[vale pier]

Deep dives are about hazard 3-4 while elite deep dives are about 5

[pallid plover]

ye

normal deep dive is like 3 3.5 and 3.5

elite is 4.5 5 and then 5.5

yes it goes beyond haz 5

i need help with it

been struggling

[tiny dagger]

2nd and3rd stage edd was so quick for me

we took out all 4 alien eggs, somehow survived and then took out last two, ran to the drop pod instead of killing the swarms after us

[rancid cedar]

no class is any more necessary then any other imo. Scout speeds up missions quite a bit ig but that’s the main exception

[untold saddle]

Had a random dread on stage 1

[stoic cypress]

hello

[upbeat blade]

preach

[limpid peak]

rock and stone

[vale walrus]

so true

[strong jay]

Is there anywhere I can post/join DD groups? I am in the Australia server but I can rarely if ever find DD lobbies

(I have no friends playing DRG so it makes things complicated)

[hardy grove]

There are a few looking for groups channels on this server that may help. You might need to pick a role before you can post there

[fervent tundra]

what infernal generation has elite deep dive given us now?

Checked the drop pod and figured put that the first stage is on-site refine and black box

[lusty ice]

Should be easier with a driller

[timid plume]

Glyphid Grunt Guard 5lv! M1000 Classic gun
Damage 65(Hardened Rounds )+(Killer Focus+25%)
why two focused shot no can kill Glyphid Grunt Guard 324 hp?

I always see it still has some health

[humble harbor]

shoot it again

[fervent tundra]

whack it with a pick

[strong jay]

that's still easier than the one after

the map for the 3rd stage is fucked

[fervent tundra]

I think we got two bulk det spawns simultaneously at the second stage

[strong jay]

ah shit that would make it worse

[fervent tundra]

last week was actual hell tho

all three stages having dreadnoughts to kill with just barely enough nitra to scrounge up

this was much more tame, probably because I had gemini and shredders to deal with the swarm hazards

[toxic orchid]

whats the future of this game?

[sullen lynx]

ahh these god dawn sabotage missions takin' 50 minutes on elite dives

like nerf sabotage missions on dives, make it one generator not 2

[pastel jacinth]

New seasons

[cosmic dove]

hello

[vast remnant]

never did a deep dive, what should i expect

im gunner

discord keeps saying im engi

[lusty ice]

3 missions in a row, ressources+ammo carry over the next missions

[willow nimbus]

Yo i got fat boy

Finally

Wait

Wrong chat

Lol

[summer blade]

You should be fine doing a normal deep dive, if you're comfortable with Hazard 4. Gunner is a good choice, he's very consistent at pretty much all mission types.

And, as 6ixtine said, resources carry over between missions. So if you can keep some Nitra for the next stage without risking a loss, do that.

[lilac juniper]

For some reason I can't chat in #drg-chat ... so sorry if this is out of place. Would there be anyone who could tell me how to find out (in game) which union an account is bound to? Trying to make the same choice as my sister so we can work on stuff together.

[lofty bolt]

There should be a terminal inside the medical area, once you enter the room it should be on the right (you might have to go down a short flight of steps I can’t recall vividly)

[ripe trellis]

i got through deep dive under blackout stout glitch

ok i lied i was kicked(in the balls)

[simple arch]

Still, congrats

Btw how long should a solo dd take

[lilac juniper]

Thanks! Yeah, that's the Union screen. She has no options, so I'm guessing she's never joined, but she also doesn't get the option to join. I sent her the link to this discord, but do you have to do something to link the game and discord for Unions to be available?

[pearl bolt]

I cant seem to talk in alot of chats, and I am not understanding how to ask for a group to play with...

can anyone help?
