deep-dive-discussion

[shrewd mason]

that s right i agree on that

[rancid cedar]

driller can’t really reach his true potential on haz 5 cus theyr aren’t enough bugs on haz 5 to really see how amazing his crowd clear abilities are

[still geode]

if you can play without a gunner its a sign that you're playing on a difficulty that isn't capable of providing a challenge

[outer cloud]

always makes me laugh when ppl say gunner is weak

and they play on haz 4

[rancid cedar]

gunner feels weak when engi turrets kill all the bugs in haz 3

[shrewd mason]

hazard 5 is an easy wlk i just didnt knew a hazrad 6 was there

i m hyped to try it though

[shrewd mason]

fair enough

[shrewd mason]

i never play under hazrad 5

[rancid cedar]

nothing wrong with playing below haz 5 or any other difficulty level btw. I just think gunner really feels more useful the higher the difficulty level is

[shrewd mason]

I m not degrading them just hazard 5 barely is a challenge just that you said hazard 3 the engi feels god but even in hazard 5 he does

I think people most of the time don t even refill turrets and don t use all the angle of it

[rancid cedar]

engi feels amazing on any difficulty he can burst down the swarm before it reaches him. As soon as the quantity of bugs is more then a couple bc shots can handle, things start to get interesting

[runic relic]

If youre on like haz 2, by the time your minigun spools up the enemies are dead anyways

[shrewd mason]

Ahah fair enough

But yeah a swarm gets cleared way faster by a driller I believe

Gunner is peak for big lads

[shrewd mason]

That s right most engi just stress up

[ancient cove]

EDD piece of cake again

this week

3 bulks

but otherwise, pretty easy

[limber viper]

and Lots of Speadter and Stingtails

[forest carbon]

Should I even take born ready if I use crisper and subata explosive reload. Like I need to reload on subata for OC to work

For EDD

So idk if it would be worth

[ancient cove]

True, second stage was the hardest, but not too hard

Haven't used IW once this time

[maiden matrix]

What kind of build do y’all like to run for general purpose gunner

I’ve been doing neurotoxin with six shooter recently but I feel like I should change it up

Especially if there’s a dreadnought secondary

[quasi sleet]

JFH with Hellfire is my all-purpose build

[lethal linden]

id also run JFH hellfire but I don’t have hellfire so I use neurotoxin magic bullet

[outer cloud]

lsls + hellfire works always but can get boring quick

[still geode]

most hurricane builds are solid general purpose in themselves

burning hell is quite versatile too

[quaint pasture]

yes but he's concerned about the dreadnought secondary and burning hell is useless there

[still geode]

how is it useless?

burning hell has no dmg penalty

[quaint pasture]

the upside is pointless and you'll have to deal with the downside

usually the downside is an upside but hot bullets barely does anything to dreads

[outer cloud]

i run burning hell and volatile bullets almost constantly now because it's so much fun

[quaint pasture]

and you'll fuck over your teammates trying to freeze the dread

[still geode]

if ur teammates are trying to freeze it just use your secondary

and if your weapon is going to heat also just swap to secondary

then swap back when it cools down again

[quaint pasture]

nice, my primary is now completely useless during this bossfight

[still geode]

??????????????????????????

are you trolling?

[quaint pasture]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/931475604568690710.webp?size=48&name=what&quality=lossless you're the one here trying to tell me that burning hell is useful on elimation

[outer cloud]

he just said it's good enough to do the job lol

[still geode]

you do 12 damage 15 times per second

13.8 if you take t4a

how ist his useless?

[quaint pasture]

i just said that

[still geode]

ok so pick aggressive venting instead of hot bullets?

and even if you pick hot bullets if you're careful you can keep the heat low enough that you dont activate hot bullets

[quaint pasture]

why do you need to go through all that trouble just so you can use burning hell?

literally just choose a weapon thats better at single target DPS

[still geode]

"what kind of build do yall like to run for general purpose gunner"
"oh you should pick a single target dmg build"

🤦‍♀️

yeah all the trouble of equipping aggressive venting

[quaint pasture]

i just said better

not something hyper focused into single target

have you forgotten what the guy even wanted?

he wants better dps for the dreadnought

burning hell does not provide that

[still geode]

better dps than NTP yeah

which burning hell absolutely does provide

[quaint pasture]

what

why are you bringing up the autocannon?

[still geode]

did you even read what they said?

[quaint pasture]

ANYTHING is an upgrade for single target DPS compared to NTP autocannon

thats not a high bar to clear

[still geode]

so why exactly are you saying that's not a bar burning hell clears

[forest carbon]

For elim specifically just run LSLS

[quaint pasture]

it does clear it but comes with other downsides for killing dreads

[forest carbon]

LSLS + hellfire coil is very good generalist

Works against anything well

[quaint pasture]

burning hell beats NTP in terms of single target dps not because it makes the miniguns dps better but because ntp has shit dps

[still geode]

and its a viable general purpose pick because the minigun has fine dps to begin with

[quaint pasture]

damn you've already forgotten about how it ruins cryo

ig thats just your attention span

[still geode]

says the one who thinks it's too much effort to pull out a secondary

[quaint pasture]

volatile bullets bulldog WOW just the thing i need for MASSIVE single target dps... oh wait dreads cant be ignited

[still geode]

????????????????????????????????????????????????

[outer cloud]

nobody said you have to run vb as secondary

[still geode]

^

[outer cloud]

lol

[quaint pasture]

burning hell with no vb?

[outer cloud]

yes?

[still geode]

yes?

[outer cloud]

just go lead spray or something idc

good with cryo

[still geode]

yeah lead spray cryo is insane vs dreads

1000 dps

[forest carbon]

If u have elim just run LSLS

I don’t get the issue

[outer cloud]

because running lsls 24/7 gets boring fast

[forest carbon]

I mean just only run it for elim

Other missions use burning hell

[balmy onyx]

Rock and Stone!

What have I done

Thank you for the insight

[ancient oak]

guys i have 2 questions:
Just joined server with alt account and i cant text in drg char
are there any channels where i can find dudes to play with me?

[quaint pasture]

im sorry we got into an argument over your question

[tame geode]

Just got a nemesis on the first step
Imma cry

[maiden matrix]

[novel folio]

hi all

[dawn vapor]

hi

[tame geode]

And a bulk on the second stage
Guess I will retry the deepdive
This time without bs rng

[ancient cove]

We had 2

and 1 in the first stage

[tame geode]

Amazing
Problem being I mostly play solo so after getting downed twice due to stupid reasons i failed it

[forest carbon]

Run IW if solo

On scout IW + heightened senses is my fav solo combo

[tame geode]

True you might be onto something there

[ancient lily]

IW+vampire

[severe stag]

@night coral @tranquil adder @vestal panther @still sonnet

Dear mods, I was wondering why I am unable to chat in the main channels, Best, Average D

[unique ore]

#welcome-and-rules pick a role

[severe stag]

@unique ore Thank you 😅

[vast totem]

I got a question how exactly do I promote Gunner?

[tiny portal]

Breach cutter plus ECR lok1 shredded nemesis for me on EDD

Also does well to bulks

Engi was really convenient this EDD imo, got 42 min. time no deaths with him on a blind run

The firepower can really do well

I would say engi is best for this EDD (for succeeding) because of escort and salvage on the first two stages

[random rampart]

get him to level 25, do the gunner promotion assignment, then go to the terminal on the back of the statues

there, pay your fees and get promoted

[lost prism]

in other companies - you get promoted to get paid more
at DRG - you pay more to get promoted

[vast totem]

Okay, thanks guys

[sinful pewter]

Makes sense to me

Tho wouldnt it make sense that you get paid more for ur promotion?
Like in mission

[lost prism]

also, if you want to play deep dives, you can only play as the class you promoted

[sinful pewter]

The more u promote, the more creds missions give u

[lost prism]

(that was the reason for my promotion grind on all 4 classes)

[sinful pewter]

I have to complete a sabotage for my first mission assignment to promote gunner. Oof

Wait, wrong chat

[vale tundra]

how is it going?

[forest carbon]

Idk why you can’t just play as any class once u promote

I guess to make sure ppl have mods for their weapons

[lost prism]

well uh
i only bought mods when i started playing deep dives

[sullen hamlet]

that 2nd stage on the EDD is so bullshit

my modded lobbys arent that horrendous lol

[spiral badge]

TIL

[spiral badge]

Have you done one where Bosco comes along? I’m not PC but some friends were doing that

[glad pulsar]

hi guys

[timid basalt]

Phase 2 sucks on EDD

Like the horde isn’t super bad if there weren’t like three stingtails in it

[steel vigil]

regen stingtails on 2nd mission of the elite deep dive lol. I dont have the crayons for this

[outer cloud]

regen warning is underestimated by many tbh

people talk about how shit like low o2 is bad but regen can be awful to deal with in salvage and egg hunts especially

[manic pivot]

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

[rancid cedar]

regen is really not that bad

you shud be focusing on high priority targets anyways so they really shud not be regenerating

[tiny dagger]

stingtails are fine i just hate how large the room is and the amount of enemies in the room

[timid basalt]

Stingtails are fine

It’s just the number in a horde

I got pulled out of my IW and attempted resupply from them and lost because of it

[rancid cedar]

stingtail are easily the highest priority target in the game atm

[timid basalt]

It’d be great if the horde didn’t take my full attention/ammo

It’s just like

Stingtails suck and they need to be reworked

They need to not be able to grab so often or from so far away

[outer cloud]

yeah if you are solo, multiple stingtails really highlight its design issues

[errant remnant]

What is a spiny tail?

[forest carbon]

Nah I think they r fine. U just really need to drop everything and deal with them. I’m not greedy, I drop my shield allow myself to hard focus them if 2 or more spawn at once

But it is an attention suck from the rest of the swarm

When they come during a non wave swarm is the worst at it really slows down your obj progress

[marble mango]

it's ironic when your run in DD is a bit more challenging than EDD
because we dont have driller

i ought to retry that DD again with driller POV

[spiral badge]

Stingtails really shouldn’t be able to pull you in IW, other than that I’m not that bothered by them

Or at least if you’re interacting with resup or some other “hold the button” thing

[hardy night]

It really does sting when a good deep dive dies because of getting pulled while reviving or resupplying, but to me they make up for it because they make other dives so much more exciting and thrilling. I feel like the dives have gotten stale so I appreciate when there's a few games where I'm playing something completely horrifying

[marble mango]

yup sting tail really reshape your priority. I still find people asking, why not revive me first? and my answer would be "if sting tail is still iin sight, you bet Im going after that first"

[unborn obsidian]

oh no

someone in my team forgot to sobre up

we drank so many of the seasonal beer

their screen must be so screwed

hes doing the drunk talk

[thorny gull]

That's the only acceptable condition for DD

Mandatory for EDD

[latent forge]

Lootbugs is the new strat for nitra in deepdives

[midnight mauve]

This week is gonna be easy

[compact shard]

Point extraction and refining augghhh

Glad that stage 2 has critical weakness

First 2 stages gonna take lots of time but stage 3 sounds easy

[eager flame]

I'm late D:

Pins updated 📌

[eager flame]

Truly thank you for helping us all this time mem, wish you luck and courage in your next journey ❤️

[unborn obsidian]

holy shit

[lost prism]

recommended drinks for edd: backbreaker stout, you can carry faster
red rock blasters, more health less death
slayer stout if you like power attacks

[unborn obsidian]

when i did the normal deep dive

at stage 3

it took so long for molly to arrive

the doors opened at 30 seconds

[misty lintel]

A new day a new Deep dive you guys ready

[lost prism]

good morning drg, i think this is gonna be a wonderful day

[unborn obsidian]

i immediately fell down a deep hole and died during the 2nd stage of the EDD

[unborn obsidian]

the 3rd stage of the EDD is actual pain

[forest carbon]

How is EDD

Bro why is stage 1 a repeat from 2 weeks ago

I’m ready for the aids this time

How bad is the refinery cave generation

Bc I might just scout

[paper stirrup]

this week's DD was supremely boring ngl

[unborn obsidian]

would you rather do yesterday's DD or EDD

[paper stirrup]

70% of the time was just zipping thru caves for morkite and guarding doretta

[paper stirrup]

ye, last week's DD was way more fun

heard the EDD was hell though

so I didn't even try

[unborn obsidian]

i always died at stage 2

this one was alot better

I did the DD very fast

the EDD was alright except for stage 3

so many spawner enemies, so many stabber vines and so many leeches

[unborn obsidian]

the only scary part was molly arriving at the drop pod extremely late #modded-gallery message

[onyx timber]

Hi

Man i cant talk in other channels bc of some random ass bug

:/

[pseudo shell]

Its not a bug get a role in #welcome-and-rules

[shadow temple]

As someone who has never won an EDD before, seeing Hollow Bough already makes me lose all hope

🫠

[paper stirrup]

at least it's not the ice biome

[vague prism]

@fleet lotus

[shadow temple]

I hope the 1st stage of EDD is fine, being able to walk away with just a blank core is better than nothing

[paper stirrup]

gotta at least get stage 2

[shadow temple]

You overestimate my skill

[lethal linden]

stage 1 with mactera plague looks rough

[shadow temple]

I'm dreading that

[lethal linden]

if you can get past that the rest of the dive looks fine

[keen cedar]

Stage 1 is best to have mactera plague on though

Especially since its PE so should be fairly quick

[outer bloom]

You can also kill one of the Twins with the mine head landing. Just have to pop the cocoon immediately

[dense pebble]

How reliable is that? Any positioning we should do to make it happen?

[outer bloom]

I did it the first try using Scout. Pop the cocoon and stand on the opposite side of where the mine head lands. Usually what happens is the Lacerator will charge towards you and the mine head will land on it. The Arbalest is usually off doing its own thing on the wall somewhere.

[dense pebble]

Heheh

I will try that thank you

[tacit iris]

Anyone tried the Edd yet? If so, how’s the layout?

[terse lichen]

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-gif-25269231

Thats fun

That has nothing to do with a UPS

You need a battery on your PC

Oh you meant that

Uninterruptible power supply yeah

[slate sentinel]

ROCK AND STONE

[ancient lily]

Time to hunt for a Deep Dive

hopefully the host doesn't have their internet die on stage 3

First Oktoberfest and first Deep Dive ccompletion. Lets go

[unborn obsidian]

first one is easy, second is mildly annoying, third is pain

first layout is basically point extraction

2nd has two low down pumpjacks with the third pumpjack and refinery high up

3rd level is massive cave full of leeches, spawner enemies and stabber vines galore

[tacit iris]

Sounds fun, thanks

[unborn obsidian]

blackbox also spawned close to the refinery

[keen cedar]

3rd sounds similar to 2nd last week

[stone mural]

hi

[spiral badge]

Eww

[forest carbon]

How is cave generation in stage 1. Last time I had to pe scout+ black box bc cave generation was so bad

But if it’s not terrible I might go gunner or driller

[lost prism]

as a greenbeard
i fear and dread the edd

[tacit iris]

Some of them don’t have to be feared

[lost prism]

you mean the stages or the edds?

[tacit iris]

Yea

[lost prism]

i have learned nothing, thanks

[ashen star]

that edd looks ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[eager flame]

?

Ah

[ashen star]

mb forgot to unping you

sorry bout that

[eager flame]

Dw

Don't worry about it, and yeah, EDD looks like a pain in the ass

[ashen star]

is it just me or is there like no morkite stage 1

normal dd

[lapis geyser]

I think morkite is usually used as a secondary objective right

[civic yoke]

it is random

just like other primary objectives

[waxen sequoia]

Hi

[spiral badge]

This is why I always take dark morkite

[maiden prism]

How is it this week?

[nimble fractal]

dd kinda boring, edd pretty fun, both very doable

edd stage 2 pretty annoying since theres not that much space to move around, stage 3 on the other hand is one of the biggest rooms i've seen lmao

[fading rapids]

dd was boring indeed, edd was pretty easy, expect a bulk on the escort mission fyi

[lost prism]

I died a lot on edd, my team did not
dd was relaxing after a butt cletching elite deep dive

why do i feel like my beard is getting less green?

[turbid dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/with-age-comes-wisdom-i-know-alot-understanding-old-peoples-wisdom-philosophy-gif-15155947

wisdom is most definitely not green

[lost prism]

Btw I only died like 1 or 2 times in the DD
Was because of me being dumb and getting near the dreadnought

There is one piece of advice I learned: shoot n run, dont jump into hoardes of enemies, use your ammo efficiently

[turbid dawn]

thats 3 separate pieces of information!

[hard pagoda]

the hell is that 3rd stage in DD

that walk is huge

[frosty galleon]

damn this elite dive is very hard

[lost prism]

i got lucky with da team

[spring vessel]

naw it was all good

[spring vessel]

uhh if you still haven't done it, then the first stage is fine, the second stage refinery is in a pit making it a bit of a pain, and the third stage has a massive ass pit

other than that just regular hollow bough stuff

[forest carbon]

Jesus Christ first stage is cancer if not scout or driller

Trying to get to drop pod and I need to pop my shield and blow 2 lead bursters bc mactera just stun lock me off my zip line

[paper stirrup]

I was barely able to complete it even w Dark Morkite lmao

good luck if you don't have that

[paper stirrup]

TL:DR have a driller?

or be a scout

[forest carbon]

Big warning bosco will not kill some of the cave Leeches last stage

I got grabbed and excpexted to die but bosco usually kills the cave leech. He just flew around me doing nothing

Some weird terrain caused him to just not attack cave leechers even if ur grabbed and he’s right next to you

[forest carbon]

I’m just doing scout EDD from now on

Last stage if u fall down and not driller or scout ur kinda fucked

[ancient lily]

Another reason Bosco needs a buff? 🤔

[forest carbon]

Nah just he doesn’t work around certain terrain

[ancient lily]

An AI improvement is technically a buff

[slender raptor]

Anyone know the chances of having back to back golden detonators

[ancient lily]

100%

[slender raptor]

Im just tryna grind out missions and i get this shit 💀

[ancient lily]

Mine it all

Or your mining license is revoked

[slender raptor]

I am

Solo so it takes awhile

[ancient lily]

Good

You can tell bosco to mine it

[slender raptor]

What actually are the chances though

Its gotta be obsecenely rare right

[ancient lily]

I'd assume so

Anyways I had a mission where I was inside the uplink zone with another dude

for 50% it was just me

then the next 25% just him and me

Then I said twice in chat "In the zone" and the other two dudes finally meandered over

[slender raptor]

3% chance twice in a row lmfao

[ancient lily]

I am still kinda annoyed from them

[slender raptor]

And a golden loot bug

I am rich

[forest carbon]

Ok I just EDD again

Scout EDD is just easy mode

It’s not comparable how much more efficient scout is solo vs other classes

I did gunner last time

Failed last stage bc I fell down in pit and got fucked by everything trying to get back up

Heightened senses is also criminally underrated. Not just for stopping grab but for you attention. Like first stage I see mactera swarm on me and the grabber. I’m gonna get beamed spending time to kill the grabber so I just kill mactera instead and then just use the perk to kill grabber

[finite vigil]

mmmm that crit weakness on stage 2

[fierce stone]

i use it solo bc bosco is too slow for leeches half the time, and it usually gives me enough time to react to whatever is grabbing me. where it really shines is in tall caves, when you cant even hear a leech coming down

[forest carbon]

Ik it’s pog. My issue is I look up and don’t see a leech and get grabbed in same spot 10 seconds later

They can hide and reach over objects

[fierce stone]

hate the awkward angle ones

[forest carbon]

I’m debating dropping IW and going dash+heighten senses for solo

Bc bosco can rez anyways

[deep pumice]

got special powder from my dd

[paper stirrup]

IW seems pointless for solo when Bosco can just rez

[ripe tiger]

3% * 3% = 0.09%

[ripe tiger]

By any chance can I just copy your loadout please.

Haven't completed a solo edd with scout yet because he lacks utilities for large swarms. or is it my playstyle hindering me so I need to get good?😂

Just doing fine solo edd with driller or engi, I can't solo EED with gunner since he doesn't have a fast way of going up, unless your friendly neighbor hood sting tail/ cave leech/ shellback helps you get up there.

[spring vessel]

I did it solo as engi so

lol

[forest carbon]

For sure. But scout is not better in all aspects. He def struggles more on salvage or black box. I use Drak with aggressive venting 11312 for great scout cc and then I Zhukov embedded detonators 13232 for single target damage. It’s very versatile. You can also do the reverse and have ur primary be single target with m1k and a secondary cc with either fire bolt or boom stick. M1k + boom stick is def most OCless friendly solo scout build. And for nade I highly recommend pheromone. It’s one of scouts few saving graces on black box. Use them to stall for time and buy yourself breathing room. Always call a drop pod inside the black box area to be able to get more health or nades in a pinch

for solo scout perks I recommend heighten senses as grabs are honestly the major reason I would ever die. And even if ur very attentive it can let you kill a grabber and save ammo or not need to focus it

Heightened senses, iron will, resupplier born ready and vampire

Scout really doesn’t need dash and field medic is useless solo

Other active perks are not great

[thick sapphire]

doing regular dd and it's me and two greenbeards after engi dropped

[ripe tiger]

you have slots avail?

edit: sorry was thinking it was a LFG room

[ripe tiger]

aight, I have alomost all the oc on m1k which one you think is best for current eed?

[thick sapphire]

why do people have to start black boxes during a swarm

especially when i'm obviously not ready because i'm asking for a plat to get red sugar first

and then i don't get one so i have to try to balance on the red sugar crystal instead and obviously i fall off and die

[wraith shard]

hello, this is my first time on the server and I'm unable to chat in some of the other channels

can someone help me out

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role

[wraith shard]

ok thank you very much

[thick sapphire]

and then host bans me as though it's my fault i want to heal before black box

what parts of a DD are the same between missions?
which alien egg spawns a swarm? if a nemesis is spawned?

[nova jolt]

i ordered 2 resupllies

and died

[wraith shard]

I can't help right now but I'll go into some of the other chanels to see if someone else can.

[kindred coyote]

spawn pools and things like swarms from eggs remain the same

like uhhh dreads too

u may get like more of a certain thing in a run but i believe they will always spawn

like stage 1 of edd will always have mactera of some sort and shit

[tacit iris]

The EDD is actually pretty fun

Just watch your step

Also my stage 3 had 5 ducking brood nexuses and 4 or so spitballers in that one large room

It was kinda bonkers

[thick sapphire]

and i'm cool with playing fast, i even did the aquarqs quickly in stage 1, just i hate people rushing

[tacit iris]

Our stage 1 was quick

Think we missed a nitra pocket

But nitra was never an issue

[vale saffron]

Oh
So things like those arent fixed?

[tacit iris]

Think it can vary a bit

Especially with different amounts of players

For instance, last EDD I had 2 naedo breeders when I tried solo on stage 2

In a full 4 run I had 1

I lost the solo btw, wonder what could have possibly caused that

Wonder how new season dives will be

What new fun enemies will be added

[tall meadow]

I did say I should reduce my exposure to this chat more kek

[tacit iris]

Something as good as the stingtails?

[tall meadow]

I wait for the stealth enemies

[tacit iris]

Or seps?

Oh I would love to see the stalker

[tall meadow]

actually excited if they do it next season

[tacit iris]

Stalker on lethal enemies stage 3 would be a nightmare

A fun one

[tall meadow]

so long there is audio sound, a shimmer as if a visual cue. It will be fun to have

[thick sapphire]

this edd pretty easy, biggest threat is a dwarf starting black box during swarm

or with people not ready

question, can a swarm start if you start black box before the warning?

[arctic mist]

I believe so, and you'll get the scheduled swarm on top of the black box swarm.

EDD was much easier this week.

Saw fewer mactera on stage 1 than I was expecting.

[thick sapphire]

so then why do people even want to rush starting the black box if the swarm alert is probably coming very soon

or worse, the swarm alert comes and they start it anyways

[arctic mist]

I think black box activation pauses the swarm timer. I'm not sure. If a swarm is called, though, it still happens.

And the latter is people being inexperienced or way too overconfident.

Or they want a challenge.

[thick sapphire]

unless like, you have four greybeards who are fine with stacking black box with swarm

also unless it's a low nitra mission or you explicitly say it's a speedrun lobby, no need to rush

box can wait for after swarm

[turbid dawn]

this is the most efficient way to do it cause you can fail an redo box afaik, never failed box though.

[vale saffron]

Is it “efficient” time and exp-wise to do edds

[turbid dawn]

every idea depends on some assumptions

[turbid dawn]

they are independent

[turbid dawn]

no afaik

unless you pull an egg etc to trigger one

[gusty tangle]

If you haven't done the Deep Dive yet, remember to play Corrosive Sludge Pump Driller only, to create a Corrosive Hell for the glyphids (the mission name)

[lost prism]

The elite deep dive works well with the cryo cannon (mactera plague stage 1) and also with the sludge pump, even though it's not called corrosive hell

Oh and btw
2 eggs out of 6 cause big swarms
Other 4 cause "miniswarms"
Basically hoardes of enemies not labelled swarms by Msn Ctrl

Miniswarms are quite common for haz 5

[gusty tangle]

Also Point Extraction

Mini-swarms are abundant there

Further context on the 2 out of 6 swarm thing, the amount of swarms from Egg Hunts are based on mission length, 1-3 swarms respectively. 4 eggs = 1, 8 eggs = 3, and which eggs spawn swarms are purely random

[vale saffron]

damn
do the aquarqs also cause miniswarms?

[valid igloo]

The way point extraction works is that every once in a while you'll randomly get an unannounced miniswarm, then the more time u spend in the mission the less time there is between each of the miniswarms

The announced swarms afaik aren't affected by how much time u spend in the mission but I could be wrong

[burnt sandal]

once in a while being every 55s at first, with each subsquent mini-swarms lowering this delay (down to 40s max) and growing in size everytime (with no real limits).

and I confirm that announced swarms are completely unaffected by this mechanic.

[compact shard]

How's the edd this week

[turbid dawn]

easy

not too much mactera

and you can speedrun the rest

[patent elk]

This is the only way allowed to complete this week's DD

[gusty tangle]

I agree

[gusty tangle]

Wrong. The time between them never changes, though they will have more enemies in them. This makes dealing with them take a longer time, meaning the next miniswarm might start before you've dealt with the previous one, giving the illusion of faster swarm rate

[fierce stone]

you need a role from #welcome-and-rules which you would know if you looked back 5 messages

[young steeple]

I heard Deep Dives get harder the longer you take because the swarms get worse and worse. Is that true? I haven’t done one yet looking to do one tonight just preparing myself. Looks like I should try and speed run it if that’s true lol

[sullen sundial]

FOR ROCK AND STONE

DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE!

[still geode]

this is specifically for point extraction missions and applies regardless of if it's a deep dive or not

yup

[ripe tiger]

@nova jolt caretaker tips as solo driller haz 3-4.
-flames or acid is efficient here in that order
-starting have bosco mine as much nitra
-drill down 45* below burst turrets remove them
-power attack the other turrent that pushes you (can't believe I forgot the name).
-have drill up to drill shreders.
-use secondary for sniper turrets
-drill from hackbot to Power Station as much as possible - while doing so you can command bosco to mine stuff

• save your c4 to dive bomb caretaker (c4 ammo damage perks based on what works for you)
  -point the ceiling above the caretaker - set up way point for the by ctrl e (hold control to show waypoint)
  -make a spacious tunnel from bellow towards the waypoint in such a way that you only have a small hole to throw c4 on top of caretaker.
• spread your supply drop in the spacious tunnel in case of phasebombs
• remove batteries -run up your tunnel network wait for caretaker to be vulnerable,
  -drop bombs to remove corner vents
  -go down use secondary to shoot mouth/eye? or charged goo attacks
• keep moving dash/ sprinter recommended here and if its phase bombs wait for the 5 sec cooldown after a phase bomb barrage to do resupply or what ever that requires standing still for more that 7 seconds
  -rinse repeat until last phase where you can try to drop c4 on the mouth/eye? (it works for my friends but cant seem to drop the c4 and detonate it to damage the mouth/eye - maybe skill issue on my part)
  -if you want to be extra safe have bosco perk prio digging on 1st but rev on others - or just all revive since you are testing this strat out.

warning after knowing this strat you might mald when join rando's since it is not required in a full squad.
not trying to tell you how to play this type of mission - but trying this might suit you. still i encourage you to try something else that your fancy

ps. ive been here for months but have onyl reacted
I have only been checking dddiscussion for dd and edd info and watch videos on dd runs 😂

so thanks @autumn cloak@crimson cliff @tacit iris hahaha I only found out about that.

[autumn cloak]

I'm lost like a drunk dwarf but sure, Rock and Stone brother

[ripe tiger]

if you werent discussing it I would've gone the opposite direction of the drop pod. 😂

[thick sapphire]

Sort of. Most mission types still have periodic waves and some have periodic swarms, even if the waves don't get bigger over time like in PE. So if you take too long you might run out of ammo/nitra, but besides that it shouldn't get overwhelming just from taking your time.

[jovial crow]

hello

@jovial crow

[shadow temple]

3rd attempt doing an EDD in my life, 1st stage was fine

Failed the 2nd stage less than 2 minutes in

Got stabbed off the drop pod, 1 revive down
Tried to run up to the Minehead, 2 sets of stabber vines again, down
Went to get red sugar, bulk spawned next to me and Bosco shot it so it instantly attacked

Will wait for an easier one . w.

[patent elk]

It's on stage 1 so it's not that bad

[gilded skiff]

What is deep dive im level 25 ab to promote?

[wraith shard]

3 missions played in a row with two primary objectives to complete each. First gives a blank matrix core, second gives a weapon OC matrix core and third gives a cosmetic matrix core

[gilded skiff]

W

Are they hard

[burnt sandal]

Normal deep dives start at hazard 3, and each subsequent stage gets a bit harder.

Second stage is haz 3.5 and last stage is also haz 3.5

Elite Deep Dives starts at 4.5 and end at 5.5

[gilded skiff]

Do you get better loot from elite?

[burnt sandal]

no, you get the same type of rewards as the normal dive

[gilded skiff]

Then why do eilte

[karmic sundial]

To get the other matrix cores

and for a challenge

[burnt sandal]

for the challenge and for the extra core. You can't farm deep dives. You only get the reward once per week.

[gilded skiff]

Ohhh

[amber isle]

gotta love doing an edd and then crashing

i had good randoms too smh

[gilded skiff]

Are deep dives possible solo?

[ancient sapphire]

Ofc

[gilded skiff]

Do i need to be godlike

[burnt sandal]

not really

[patent elk]

You just gotta know what you're doing cause a mistake could lead you down a slippery slope but God tier skills aren't needed to solo it

It doesn't cost anything other than time if you fail anyway so it's worth practicing it anyway I'd you're not sure

[oak pecan]

Is the refinery cave gen on the EDD any better? Or is there another well 50m above the refinery again?

[jade rain]

hey

[quaint pasture]

you just need to have previous experience with doing missions solo

[gilded skiff]

Well i did all of missions in the game solo as scout ab to promote him

[quaint pasture]

you'll be fine

[raven carbon]

For deep dives, no. But EDDs can be difficult.

Depends on the hazard level you're used to

[gilded skiff]

Oh ok

When do they reset

Is it a certain day?

[vale walrus]

every week

[spiral badge]

Next reset is <t:1695294000:F>

Same time every week

[gilded skiff]

Ok thanks!

[nimble fractal]

its doable without much work, one of the pumps is a little higher but i bridged it off the rig without any issues and another one is just out of reach but a single power attack gets you there iirc

maybe a little digging but nothing too bad

[oak pecan]

Yeah, I managed it as solo gunner

I was going onto the last stage, but I took a break

With critical weakness, it was actually a pretty smooth stage

Stage 1 was hell trying to get to the drop pod though with the endless mactera

Because I had to cross the pit

[rare dagger]

guys

i swear

if one more stingtail

throws me off a cliff

im gonna break my monitor

[spiral badge]

Yeah that’s aggravating

[outer cloud]

3 stingtails at once while solo makes me wanna become the joker

[thick sapphire]

oops all stingtails

[young steeple]

Oops, I stingtailed again. Got tossed of a cliff, oh baby baby

[whole condor]

man i hope stingtails get nerfed soon

[broken abyss]

lol

[marble mango]

EDD this week is like the cocktail of everything hated... macteras, hollowbough, swarmers, spitter, leech

[lost plover]

Wasn't that bad for me, compared to last week's at least.

But I get the frustration.

Got downed by one myself, but I think red rock blasters helped negate a lot of the stingtail fling fall damage to me.

[marble mango]

yeah, I got it on the third try, then I try again just to see if im improving

[lost plover]

3 attempts? Damn.

What class did you go with tho? What ocs?

[coarse vessel]

Xcuse me
Green beard here
So, last deep dive stage we encountered a bulk detonator
Are those also pre generated?

[burnt sandal]

they aren't

[coarse vessel]

So if I replay DD it may not appear again?

[burnt sandal]

it may or may not but chances are it might very well show up again

[coarse vessel]

Thanks

[opal helm]

What are missions in deep dives this week/

[tacit iris]

pins

[coarse vessel]

So by that logic
If it appears again
It won’t be at the same spot right?

[finite vigil]

I want to throw my router into an incinerator

lost connection in the final stage of EDD

[tacit iris]

just sell it

[burnt sandal]

yeah

[finite vigil]

and let someone else suffer with Sky Broadband?

[tacit iris]

yep

[coarse vessel]

Alright thanks

[tacit iris]

claim it's way better than it is

use that money to buy new router

[finite vigil]

been waiting for 2 years for them to install our fibre optic

at this rate it’ll be 2 decades

[tacit iris]

not too surprising

[finite vigil]

good ol' Britain, innit

[wraith shard]

the EDD this time was nasty. pulled though by the skin of our teeth

[karmic flame]

eh idk, honestly only the first stage is tough, the rest was easy

[wraith shard]

In the last stage it spawned around 80 slashers as a single wave. I wish i was recording lol. That would have been a good vid

For me first one was pretty easy. Second one was a bit sketch, but draind a lot of nitra. 3rd stage was pretty close we had few resups for 6 eggs and a black box

[dense escarp]

lol my edd team died in stage 2

Cuz someone turned on the black box right when a wave spawned

[marble mango]

Rip 😦

[marble mango]

First, gunner with lsls and hellfire, and the gun grenade
Second, scout with ai stability engine and cryominelets
Third, gunner with NTP + fear, elephant round bulldog and sticky grenade (we got to third stage ans finished)
Fourth (because i think the bulldog oc is the problem), gunner with NTP + fear, sixshooter bulldog + sticky grenade

Im very tempted to run another EDD with gun nade. Would fit hollow bough terrain a lot

[ashen oyster]

wouldn't it be fun if the mineral market worked something like the stock market, where when people weren't going on other maps with other minerals, those minerals would skyrocket in price and the other way around?

[rancid cedar]

ai stability + cryo bolts sounds like some horrible dis synergy

[lost plover]

Sticky isn't really that good of a grenade imo, but you've got good ocs. If you want tho, you can try what I go with nowadays for high hazards, which is minigun with bullet hell (32221) and coil gun with mole (21222) and I went with leadburster grenade. I like using the minigun to stun hordes of enemies, activate fear with coil gun and then hit the stun again to finish them off. Alternatively you can stun hordes and then use the grenade to finish them off, but I don't recommend doing it with every horde.

[marble mango]

yeah got recommended to me by a scout. got nothing to lose so I tried it anyways

other OCs recommended for scout for me is EFS M1000 with Custom Casings Zhukov + IFG. First impression: good for bulk + picking off patrol bots but not anything else

[rancid cedar]

ai requires weakpoint hits, which cryo disables so that is a very bad combo.

Efs is amazing for hvts like mactera, spitters and septics cus it can take ammo and blowthrough while one shotting all of them. It also cripples groups of praetorians

[marble mango]

stun + fear is nasty. I used PBM stun + hellfire. finished menace and stingtail on one on one combat.
I'll try that bullet hell combo then. what's the mods of the minigun?

[marble mango]

the direction given to me is that: pick off spitter / macteras with Ai SE, use cryominelets(zhukov) as crowd control, and synergy that with voltaic stun sweeper 🤔

tbh I dont feel im effective while using it. I prefer my hipster and double barrel + cryo nade, but maybe I'm not used to it

[tiny portal]

Hipster double barrel cryo is real satisfying to use

[rancid cedar]

idk wtf ur using to actually kill the crowds if ur primary can’t tho. Plus sweeper is pretty bad. You shud not be using that for crowds. If you want a cc nade take ifgs

if u take rang, u shud really only be using it for stunning hvts like mactera

[rancid cedar]

hipster + cryo mines wud make infinitely more sense then hipster + aise cus it can actually kill frozen bugs

[tiny portal]

If you want a slightly more defensive version of that build, swap out hipster for 22212 drak with shield battery booster, its real easy to use for taking out crowds and has a big shield regen boost (make sure to get the crosshair heat meter mod tho, you'll need it)

Oh and swap out cryo for voltaic stun sweeper too

Less effective for big targets, better for crowds

[lost plover]

The numbers are the weapon mods. Stun + fear in general is insane, since you can essentially stunlock enemies.

[still geode]

i see little reason to be using vss in that tbh

yeah stun + fear is great

fear isn't duration based

it makes enemies run a set distance away, and only once they've ran that far does it wear off, regardless of how much time that took

so if you stun a feared enemy it's still feared when the stun wears off

same reason as to why fear is so good with slowdown effects

[lost plover]

Plus the build I use goes with aggressive venting, which I'm pretty sure also activates fear.

[marble mango]

wanted to ask, how well bullet hell holds in mactera plague?

[still geode]

you can very easily stun the mactera

just spread your shots out a bit

every shot has a large chance to stun the enemy hit and then a 75% chance to ricochet to another enemy and then a chance to stun that one too

coilgun with fear is also very good against mactera

[fallen tiger]

hi

[echo crystal]

BRo

Wth was that deep dive

Had the longest tunnel ever

Molly got in at 15 seconds left on the clock

[humble wigeon]

daim

[marble mango]

right, cmiiw, the fear does not scale with how long you hold the trigger right?
so let's say I use that partial charge mod on the Armskore, im basically extending more charges I can use to fear

[lost plover]

It went well for me. But bullet hell is very ammo-hungry, so keep that in mind.

Make sure to restock

[still geode]

yeah the fear is just as strong regardless of how far you charged the shot

[marble mango]

perfect, because im very unsatisfied with the supressive fire mod on thunderhead when I bring it for mactera plague

I'll try it

[rancid cedar]

hellfire hard counters mactera imo

also uncharged shots are very nice for small enemies like jellies and shredders

you can also do uncharged shots on stingtails, praets etc, then switch to ur primary to kill them while feared

[lost plover]

I actually don't have hellfire so idk how good it is lol.

[harsh wren]

e

[trim crescent]

for first stage we killed the initial mactera, popped the dreads for no ambient waves, did aquark, killed dreads and just left

barely saw any mactera after the initial 30s

[exotic belfry]

Crazy good, It applies 180-240 heat over 3 secs, which ignites almost every medium bug enough to kill with the Onfire DOT.

Imagine it as a cave long cylindrical Incendiary grenade.

[lost plover]

yeah that sounds insane lol

[slate stump]

pretty chill edd, mactera plague started after calling drop pod

[marble mango]

I have, and iirc I tried to test it. First Impression is that it's kinda slow 🤔 compared how long the mactera is feared. i'll try again in sandbox and simulate a Mactera Plague myself

[marble mango]

wait, hang on. on my run, the ambient wave kept coming 🤔

is it because we didn't do it immediately?

[trim crescent]

my fault, the ambient waves came

but the big ones called out by mission control didnt happen

[finite vigil]

the Mactera are easy to deal with on the first stage, I generally stick with Lead Storm

got my shields for if they surround me completely

[cunning warren]

hi, i almost collected all season pass's infected weapons >:)

they're really good, gg to the devs

[finite vigil]

omfg can my teammates just listen to me for one fucking second - I ping the tunnel entrance in the last stage, driller and the rest of the team continues to ignore me and goes straight down into the pit, and of course they die to a swarm

"couldn't see the chat"

load of bullshit - I pinged the tunnel multiple times and typed in the chat MULTIPLE TIMES, and this idiot is too brainless to see what I'm pointing out to him

never gonna get this EDD done cos of idiots everywhere

[velvet kiln]

finished my first ever DD!

and I did it solo

1:07:48, all side objectives too

Take Violent Impact Mixture OC on the sludge pump if you want that

#deep-dive-discussion message

[rare granite]

What haz are the deep dives and elite deep dives

[lost plover]

3 and 3.5 for regular. 4.5, 5, 5.5 for elite.

[rare granite]

What stage does the haz change in normal

[lost plover]

Once you've done the first one it goes up to 3.5 and stays that way. So it's only haz 3.5 in stage 2 and 3 of a regular deep dive.

[worldly relic]

this probably gets asked a lot but how hard is the normal deep dive? i can deal with hazard 3 consistently but 4 is still quite a challenge

i have a green overclock called stunner for my shotgun but do i need something for breach cutter too?

[warm sky]

hi, is this the place to ask for noob questions?

finally am able to get the steam version and I was wondering which version is recommended!

standard, legacy, master, deluxe?

[lime charm]

no and the other versions are just if you want to buy dlcs as a pack

[steel void]

Apart from Matrix cores, what are deep dives for?

[burnt sandal]

matrix core, weapon OCs and cosmetic cores

and speedrunning, if that's your thing

[steel void]

And you only get those once per week innit

[burnt sandal]

yeah

[steel void]

Damn, gonna take a while then

Trying to get hoverclock

[quaint pasture]

you can grind promotions to get blanks and weapon cores to increase your chances

[pearl forum]

#drg-chat is locked for some reason

[quaint pasture]

react to something in #welcome-and-rules to get a role

[wanton knot]

EDD was rough especially when our engi dc'd before stage 3

nearly wiped on both 2 and 3

did it in a pub so it prolly coulda been smoother but those black box placements sucked

[lean cloud]

как к вам присоединится

поможете?

[dire jay]

Anyone wanna done ride silicate achivements?

[leaden notch]

i just did edd solo as scout

my arse is itching

[burnt sandal]

#fan-communities have a russian discord, if you're more comfortable with that

[ancient sapphire]

I was so excited to get hoverclock until I realized it's not practical in real combat

It's really fun though

[still geode]

how is it not practical?

grapple to ceiling, shoot bugs with m1000, grapple to ceiling again, etc

and you just get to stay out of range of melee enemies

[limber crag]

hi

[burnt sandal]

Hi

read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role to access all channels

[runic relic]

The conditioning worked

[patent elk]

You get one for DD and one for EDD so technically twice?

[runic relic]

We need an even harder deep dive for a 3rd round of rewards

[fast stratus]

difficulties: 6x2, L, Lx2

[steel void]

Wait what you do? I've done one normal and one elite Deep Dives and only managed to get 3 cores in total.

[ancient sapphire]

You get a set of blank, weapon and cosmetic for each deep dive

[ancient sapphire]

There are better OCs for the m1k or even for scout in general. Hoverclock also usually rated pretty low in tier lists

Doesn't add dmg or anything else, and it gets worse the higher difficulty you do, especially 6x2

[exotic belfry]

I mean 6x2 is a modded difficulty, not accounted for by the games design. so ofc a utility OC isnt the best. Its great for letting you make dumb mistakes, allowing you to play fater and more recklessly. Its also on a weapon that (in the base game) is plenty powerful without extra dmg/ammo/dps. Which makes it really strong in haz 3/4 and a good choice in haz 5.

[cursive aspen]

A

[fresh citrus]

Exept of pinned comments about what expect in each stage of DD, is there info about something special, like spawn of JET BOOTS in start of base DD?

[turbid dawn]

You can use sandbox to check all caves before you jump in, but there's no real collated list every week. You can also check the chat here for info you want.

[wicked epoch]

anybody wanna play a chill elite deep dive with me?

[vestal hemlock]

heyy

[wicked epoch]

hey?

you wanna?

[dense pebble]

That kind of stuff is an RNG chance so not really.

[timid lotus]

Bring a driller for the last stage or be ready to wait for Molly to reach the pod for 4 minutes

[coarse hinge]

yo

[little halo]

Hoverclock is a permanent stay for me. It saves me a hook shot when i’m falling, allow me to hook more recklessly, and doesn’t cost any bullet if i switch weapon mid-charge.

[torpid crater]

I just had molly cut it close with less than a minute left without a driller lolol

[timid lotus]

Yeah we had like 30 seconds left

[woven smelt]

tf is with the elite deep dive rn

the mactera swarm at the start is crazy

[rancid cedar]

like what m1k ocs are good in 6x2 then

[rancid cedar]

any m1k oc that doesn’t affect its breakpoints is really good cus at base m1k is exceptionally strong at killing hvts

[warm geyser]

alguien para jugar, recien instalo el juego

[random rampart]

wrong channel to ask, go to your platform's lfg channel

[shrewd mason]

Nah just stay in the pod and you can take them down easily

[shrewd mason]

Well if you had a driller you can easily put them in a practical space

[wanton knot]

i was driller and did not do that

aint drillin em down THAT far

[kindred coyote]

ngl i like the stage 2 black box

its interedting because it allows room for a two story build

where one or two ppl r up top n the rest r on bottom

assuming u dig out the bottom

anyway any tips for clearing stage 3 without gunner?

i feel like theres no real spots to clear the main room given leeches spitballers and even the breeder assuming thats a guaranteed spawn

[eager atlas]

I don't know how many leeches there are on the ceiling, but you can shoot 3 of them from the starting room

[placid hollow]

rock and stone!

[untold topaz]

God the run to the drop pod on stage 3 sucked, the mule got there with 20-ish seconds left

[ashen girder]

hi

@storm shadow whats up

[frigid lagoon]

Is drg servers down atm cuz I’m not able to host or join anybody’s game or invite anyone my internet and ps plus are fine and everything is updated so I’m soo confused anybody know please need help thanks

[mystic goblet]

Apparently this is one of the only channels the server lets me talk in so hi

[young steeple]

Any tips for the EDD this week? I’m a greenbeard and did the DD already with randos but I’m really nervous about the EDD. I am Gunner.

[untold topaz]

nah I was just in a mission something's up with your game

[frigid lagoon]

What else can it be then ?? I mean my internet and ps plus like I said is fine so any suggestions and my game is up to date I even deleted it and redownloaded it and still not working

I was seeing other people have the same problem but nobody knows why

[split igloo]

Same 😆

[warped veldt]

be scout

i just jumped down right away and killed all the stationaries while the rest of the team cleared the initial swarm at spawn

[kindred coyote]

i was scout

but solo

it feels like theres no real cover so i kinda just gotta snipe the spitballers then i get doodood on by a swarm

[warped veldt]

as scout you dont need cover so long as you grapple enough

and obviously dont launch yourself into pits

[kindred coyote]

maybe i just got shitty spitballer gen

cuz like it was definitely not smthn u could just grapple away from

[warped veldt]

i dealt with 3 spitballers right beside each other and a 4th near the bottom waiting for me

did you have like 12 of them or smth

[kindred coyote]

i dont even really remember i was just sobbing because there was multiple spitballers a breeder and an immediate warden swarm

[warped veldt]

sounds like someone isnt running cryo

[kindred coyote]

😭 i was

but the warden was buffing the bugs from the little hole on the right when all of the bugs were in the pod room

[fleet cradle]

Hi guys

[young steeple]

Hi

[tame geode]

Choose some roles in #welcome-and-rules

[tiny dagger]

Protect your team against the mactera, and kill leeches if the scout hasn't already

Other than that it seems pretty easy

[young steeple]

Thanks 🙏

[shrewd mason]

Well I did and I just bunkered up for the black box. It took me like 30 secs to get it and all the team was chilling. We never fell during the whole dive it was pretty chill. The last 2 elites ago was way worse su to lack of nitra

[merry flower]

H deep dive 2/4

[fresh citrus]

Hello, i want to lower game Max FPS so it wont make air oven in from my PC.
What best number?

[cunning pond]

I mean what's the lowest for it to run while you can still understand what's going on?

[fresh citrus]

Damn, sorry, wrong chat.

[cunning pond]

Lmao

[grizzled bobcat]

i love dem

[onyx helm]

anyone down for edd?

[lilac elbow]

Is there an lfg invite?

[onyx helm]

not yet

[burnt sandal]

all the classic LFG channels work just fine for this

[lilac elbow]

I meant... nevermind. I'll create a lobby myself #lfg-steam

[fleet cradle]

im going to work to earn the right 24/7

[delicate saffron]

anyone remember Rapid Gate?

[surreal ice]

I know this isn’t deep dive related, but for some reason I can only talk in like, two channels. Every time I go to a new one, I just see a stupid pop up covering the text option that tells me to check out the suggestions chat when I’m done “reading”. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[civic yoke]

go to #welcome-and-rules and pick some roles

[surreal ice]

Oh, ok. Thanks so much!

[finite vigil]

welp, internet across my whole country’s fucked

anyone got solo scout builds for the EDD

something that can both waveclear and single-target efficiently

atm I’m thinking AISE GK2 and Det Zhukov but not 100%

[still geode]

EFS/ASS/AISE with fire bolts crossbow or double barrel boomstick

[finite vigil]

I have neither fire or double barrel 😦

[leaden cypress]

Extremely cringe

[tropic nimbus]

Guys, I just joined this server with my friend and we have no idea how to get permission to join the Voice Channels or the Text Channles, anyone can help?

[quasi sleet]

you have to grab a role

[finite vigil]

woop, EDD done

[high yew]

Hello, can someone help me out? I am locked out of almost every channel and pod except for this one. Every other channel says I don't not have permission to post. I used to be able to join channels and pods.

[reef shell]

No idea why that’s happening but check #welcome-and-rules to see if you can do anything from there

[high yew]

I can pick a role but I can't post to any channels or join a pod.

[reef shell]

Huh

Weird

I had that problem once and did something in the info channel and it fixed it

[high yew]

ok, wait, it took a minute, but I selected ALL the roles and now I can join a pod

[reef shell]

Ok good 👍

[patent elk]

I stg we should start pinging mods everytime someone asks why they can't chat in drg chat so they know how much of a problem it is

[next pebble]

We're well aware, but thanks for the threats.

[runic relic]

Imagine being unaware at this point

[spiral wharf]

im not quite sure cus i cant navigate well but is this the channel fitting for questoons?

oh shoot this is a mode channel sorry

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role

[spiral wharf]

thanks!

the last rule is concerning

[warm seal]

Can someone tell me why I can only talk in this channel?

[upper pond]

cuz youre in too deep

[burnt sandal]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[fossil moon]

Why isn't gen chat like open to everyone, spam?

[regal ice]

I've been enjoying this game so far, only playing Solo so I can learn the ropes

[fierce ravine]

Hello Evryone Guys! Is the game buying in steam?

[burnt sandal]

yes, you can buy the game on Steam

[fierce ravine]

[burnt sandal]

Discord is telling me you're literally playing it.

[fierce ravine]

[twilit birch]

bro speaking in yoda

[fierce ravine]

First time playining try!))

[fierce ravine]

Why?

[burnt sandal]

Well, DRG is not a survival and crafting game, it's a co-op shooter, like Left 4 Dead.
You seem to have trouble with english. You might wanna join one of the community in #fan-communities to find people who will be better suited to answer your questions without issues

[fierce ravine]

Here also mine ore and crfating something item

[dawn pagoda]

Uh... yeah i guess

you wouldnt happen to speak english as a second language would you?

[tacit iris]

Not much crafting, but some

With gun and forge

And beer 🍺

[ancient lily]

We need more beer crafting

[wraith shard]

why cant i type in other chats

sorry for being off topic

[tacit iris]

Check #welcome-and-rules

There’s roles there to choose from

[wraith shard]

oh

it still wont let me

[random rampart]

wait a bit, because you still dont have a role. if in, say, 10 to 15min, you still cant talk, re-get the role. the bot can be a bit lazy

[wraith shard]

okay ill just wait, i got work anyway

[hardy coyote]

How’s the elite dive

[jovial crow]

hello

[tacit iris]

It’s fun

Hello, greetings, salutations, and hey
