Me going into stage 3 of the EDD seeing 2 dreadnaughts + unknown horror

My team had combined ~40 downs by the end of it

[turbid dawn]

do you know why? seed issues?

Help

[vagrant cypress]

Read welcome, select a role and read rules

Afaik the role is a req to speak in other channels

[delicate saffron]

why does it say new deep dives when I don't have new deep dives

ah there they are

[tame carbon]

leave and re enter the game

[wraith shard]

what's today's EDD, then?

[tame carbon]

cave leech cluster first

[wraith shard]

yup

second is aquarqs with no modifiers

[desert siren]

Hello

What´s going on with deep dives

I have sandblasted and glacial

But then i join peole and the they have dense biozone and fungus bogs????

is it time zones?

[wraith shard]

think they might be stuck on the old ones

[reef girder]

they cant be though, the previous biomes were sandblasted and fungusbogs

could have been modded maybe?

[wraith shard]

there's a dreadnought egg on the 3rd EDD stage that spawns right outside the drop pod

[jovial garden]

Just quit and log-in back

[desert siren]

Idk but it´s happened also last week

i think it´s because of solar hour and stuff i guess

[zenith ember]

if they didnt reset their game and launch a deep dive, the seeds will still remain the same

[subtle burrow]

if u still see halloween decorations - restart your game. In general - on reset day&time, always restart game

[desert siren]

Ah

upsie

doing the deep dive with pumpkins

ehehehe

[subtle burrow]

so u might be doing last weeks dive, but Im not sure 😄

new dives are in dense (DD) and glacial (EDD); so if u got other biome - its dives from last week

[tame carbon]

the caretaker in the end is a pain

[desert siren]

I think so

Did dense with the worst two green beards ever

We tried communicating but there was no way. Triggered eggs during dread

Opened black box without anyone close

[royal tide]

any info on the elite dive?

[tiny portal]

You can fail black box if it is a secondary objective during deep dive, just boot it up again to retry. The mission won't be failed

[jolly wing]

Played edd until I disconnected on stage 3

Stage one is eggs+ box.( Forgot the mutation, sorry.)

Felt like the nitra there was scarce

Stage 2 is aquarc + morkite

[fathom coral]

EDD felt easy

[jolly wing]

3 is industrial sabotage + dred

[fathom coral]

just a lot of nitra lvl 3

[jolly wing]

I disconnected before entering the first power plant

[desert siren]

Still annoying

I know it could fail but it's a coop shooter

You don't just randomly start an objective

Especially cause this dude was bronze 2

Not any random new schmuck

[desert siren]

Lately they feel really easy, no cooperation needed

Lots of nitra

600 per dd

[jolly wing]

I wonder what's in the boss egg?

Cuz there's was an industrial sabotage one time on a regular DD that after leaving the caretaker health to critical, I went to pop the egg which was hiveguard.

After exposing it's abdomen, I killed the caretaker ( which also instakilled the hiveguard)

[reef girder]

its not up on the pins yet but for those who are dying to know, heres whats in this weeks dives: https://imgur.com/TvOFm0V

[glad zephyr]

On stage 3 of Edd can’t you just do the caretaker and spawn the dread as soon as it’s about to die for a free kill

[jolly wing]

Not a lot of yellow mutations

[sleek crag]

theres no nitra for 1 supply at EDD?

or im just blind

[patent elk]

Stage 3 IS with elites

Ooof

[zenith ember]

i only found 1+

much more at PE

[tiny portal]

This DD looks fun to speedrun

[zenith ember]

IS remains as a greenbeard killer it seems

[delicate saffron]

no cringeguard this week

[trim crescent]

you can

works like a charm

[eager atlas]

do you need to remove his armor, I remember trying with a hiveguard once but only the minions died, I don't know if it was because he was invulnerable or because the caretaker kill radius has a limit and he was too far

[trim crescent]

i removed the armor

but idk if it truly matters

[bitter stump]

If normal dread you have to remove the armor before you set off the caretaker for it to one shot

Hiveguard you can just kill the minions and set it off

[trim crescent]

ya its normal, heres the answer

[eager atlas]

All right, thank you 👍

[unborn fern]

@drifting tinsel yeah was going to try and do it as well cause i like this format but have no clue how they knew what it was in advance unless they went through it already haha

Well thanks for doing it.

[drifting tinsel]

it normally takes a couple hours for people to post/update the lineups after the dives refresh, so i think those first few hours are spent actually going through the dives lol

[unborn fern]

Ah yeah its like 4am my time when it resets i think and i dont get up until 4-5 hours later and its just was always there lol

[drifting tinsel]

well, the good news for you is that they're already updated by the time you wake up! gives you something to look forward to (o≧▽≦)ﾉ

[untold crane]

Just loving those cave leech clusters

its one of the easier edds

[simple cradle]

where is the black box for the third mission T~T

[untold saddle]

Anyone did the EDD with cryo bolts?

I noticed a bug that special bolts reset to max when going to the next stage and cryo to 1

Anyone else had this?

[eager atlas]

are you sure the cryo ones reset to 1?

I know engineer turrets refill to max between levels, so the special bolts refilling wouldn't be too weird, but the normal ammo should stay the same

[burnt sandal]

I think there's a report for that

[untold saddle]

Only one I could find is for the special bolts, but the special bolts bug is pretty old. I never had it happen with cryo bolts before

So I made a new report

[frail rapids]

bulk on first EDD stage threw me

STAGE 3 SABO?

YOOOO FINALLY

This is gonna be a fun one

A dreadnought too oh my god

I've been waiting so long for this

[burnt sandal]

?

eh, why do I care anyway.

Dodging ban/mute is just asking for one more.

[zenith ember]

caretaker explosion only deals 50% to the dread on 4p scaling

[warped veldt]

double phero on this weeks stage 3 is really fun

elite slasher putting in more work than the average fat boy random 💪

[jagged rapids]

Honestly it was a fun one but the room is pretty not great (at least the console seed). Power stations were right next to each other tho so we did both at once and it was beautiful chaos.

Sadly we died during the last phase bc when your whole team is down... Those phase bombs just go bonkers and it feels impossible to rez. They need a freaking cooldown

Overall tho I'm not even mad, was still fun. Will def be running it back

[turbid dawn]

hey do you know the complete scaling? 1p,2p,3p? or even what the dmg explosion value for caretaker is

[zenith ember]

Nope

Pure visual on the bar from 100 to 50

[turbid dawn]

yeah i can confirm the 50% too

so i think the careataker explodes with 4.25k dmg

[zenith ember]

Based on wiki it has 8.5k hp on 4p

So solo/duos will 1 shot it?

Assuming thats the case

[turbid dawn]

yes

the dread doesnt have explosion resistance afaik from wiki

if duos are one shotting it, itmeans the explosion does 4.5 k

[zenith ember]

Extra dmg due to scaling?

[turbid dawn]

oh wait dread has 40% explosive resistance

so caretaker pop should do ~7k dmg

[zenith ember]

7-7.5( from 4.25-4.5)

But i dont think that matters if we want to cheese dread

[turbid dawn]

yeah srry calc at 40% instead of 60%

it does a great deal

if solo duo doesnt mattter

more than that youll need both someone to bring dread to first dmg phase do some dmg then kill caretaker

[zenith ember]

Yeah sadly

That requires a really coordinated team to deal with caretaker's chaos while chipping away dread's hp at the same time

[turbid dawn]

well in this edd pretty simple

get the taker low

leave the room to spawn (which has dread)

do dmg

you can melee kill the arms instantly when they spawn in

when ready get scout to go pop the caretaker

communicating this to randos is impossible

but to a full team will be great

[zenith ember]

Ye

[turbid dawn]

if you want 4 Dwarf runs that is

for duos wont matter

[zenith ember]

Would still be interesting to see if the theory holds true

That the dread gets one shotted in duos

[turbid dawn]

it does

tested it

[zenith ember]

Ah ok

Sandbox?

[turbid dawn]

also

if the the second explosion

hits the dread

it does dmg too

like when the caretaker "explodes"

[zenith ember]

The shockwave right

[turbid dawn]

but the radius is important

[turbid dawn]

yeah when you get yeeted if ur standing near it

[zenith ember]

But wont that be near impossible to take advantage of

[turbid dawn]

well in one of my runs

the team was dead near taker

so dread was next to it

but in general hard to force

[zenith ember]

If you mean using it to chip the recovered armor then thats def doable

I thought u mean somehow bursting down the armor so the shockwave hits the health instead

[turbid dawn]

yeah i killed the dread exactly that way

popped armor, pop taker, taker pops armor, i popped next dmg gate

then rez 3 dwarves

and repeat

but if everyone was alive and scout could freeze

you could double burst it

in the 8 seconds of the caretaker dying

[zenith ember]

That

Would be really crazy coordination already

[turbid dawn]

i agree, but not impossible

[zenith ember]

It isnt yeah

#deep-dive-discussion message

[low plover]

this EDD is probably the chilliest (hehe) one I ever encountered. 1st and 2nd stages can be done swiftly, also because of IS on 3rd stage this EDD is perfect for fire based builds.
just terrain is tricky, I fell through slim crack on spawn in 1st (which killed me right away) and 2nd stage to the cave below.

I think that's good seed for new players to try EDD for first time

[jagged rapids]

Yea the terrain is what killed my team but tbh we had a lotta fun

Our greenbeard had 26 downs by the end

But I loved his spirit

[tulip hedge]

is guided rocket system for gunner worth to get?

[mental crystal]

cave leech cluster is only a small annoyance during swarms for me

[forest carbon]

Stage 3 was a killer with so many elite slashers

Got through it but they chunk ur health

[final urchin]

What are the missions in the newest Deep Dive?

[cobalt sage]

check pins

[final urchin]

Got it

[low plover]

Best type of greenbeard

[cinder citrus]

I see people get angry at green beards here and I don't see why, they're new, if they want to go down 30 times I'll be right beside them to pick them up and say "rock and stone"

[willow dagger]

tbh im more mad at greenbeards when they call drop pod or start for example caretaker while i want to do machine event most of the time

also fact they literally dont communicate with team

how hard it is to say you got killed by leech so scout doesn't have unpleasant surprise when trying to revive?

[cinder citrus]

That part I get but send a chat and most of the time they'll listen

[willow dagger]

its unbelievable how oblivious you are

most of the time they will not listen

[cinder citrus]

I'm sorry buddy but I've got 400 hours on the game. I'm not exactly inexperienced and most of the time I tell a new green beard to do something or stop doing something they'll listen.

[willow dagger]

i have got over 300 and this is most of my experience

im glad when new players actually listen and use brain though

problem is, 3/4 of them seem to not

[dire holly]

Mayb they dont recognize the chat. I like the chat but got kicked some times because of doing things wrong i dont understand - i wont learn it that way 😉

[willow dagger]

what u mean by "don't recognize chat" 🤨

[wind wasp]

where can i find peopel to play a normal deep dive?

[stiff vector]

I didn't know you could even type in the game for a small period of time because I would only play with family and assumed the chat was purely for announcements and other random things. I'm a little dumb but that's just my experience

[jagged rapids]

Never. I run semi-weekly deep dives and the odd haz5 assignment lobby and the whole point is greenbeards welcome.

I would not be the dwarf I am without the legends that just vibed and carried me thru deep dives and haz5

I still remember finishing my first EDD getting carried by 3 legends. Sadly don't recall their names but lasting impressions nonetheless. I want to do that for greenies

Well maybe not the "remember me" part, just that feeling of success and first steps to sometime awesome

[willow dagger]

well, if greenbeards are communicating I'm willing to help them

few times i was literally teaching team made from 2lvl players

Maybe it's cuz I'm on console but I usually get by without much comms.. Lots of pings and just teaching thru showing. It's hard to deal with chat on console in chaos. Tho I'll hope of mute if in the mood and then i just start babbling tips so I avoid that 😅

Wait this isn't the chat I thought it was. We gotta move this convo lol

Someone will come after me bum
If you want to keep chatting just tag me in #drg-chat

hows this weeks EDD? is the last stage hell?

[spiral badge]

Sounds like it’s easier. I was looking for an Xbox group for it

[raven carbon]

Fairly manageable

The warnings and mission combinations are such that no stage is too hard

You might want to have a gunner with you for the last stage in particular, shields are always helpful against the caretaker

maybe you should have read the welcome channel

[robust dirge]

you're completely right mb

[marble thistle]

Done regular DD, stage 2 had a Nemesis (3-player team)

I know DD cave gen depends on player count, but does it also depend on the class composition?

[jolly wing]

Player count has no influence on cave generation

The health and attack of enemy however,

[marble thistle]

I think player count affects Leeches, spitballers and alike, does it not?

[jolly wing]

I believe so

[marble thistle]

Yeah, and I'm wondering if team composition also affects said rates or not. My guess it does not.

[pine beacon]

hey guys sorry to message here but like i can't acces #drg-chat :(

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role.

[pine beacon]

oh it didnt worked until now

thank you ^^

[nimble fractal]

That is not cave gen though, those are usually referred to as 'stationaries' and are affected by the amount of players, not the team composition

[deep crescent]

hello everyone

[eager atlas]

driller-engineer duo and we actually had more issues with the 2nd level because all the morkite is relatively high, the 3rd level went actually very smooth

[cinder citrus]

There a one of these in different chats too

[jagged talon]

second one is a little tough but the rest was pretty easy

[mighty swift]

So is deep dive a harder mode or something?

[eager atlas]

check pinned, there's the "short guide to deep dives"

in short, it's 3 missions chained together

[pine iron]

where do i go to contact a discord staff

[eager atlas]

actual discord staff? or a mod of this server?

[zenith ember]

Chain of 3 missions rather.
Deep dive difficulty is hazard 3/3.5/3.5, while the elite ver is 4.5/5/5.5

[cinder citrus]

It's 3 missions in a row with ammo nitra a health carrying through the mission. Sometimes they are nice and easy and others are more difficult. Good luck on your deep dive

[languid isle]

Hello

We want to remind you that there's only half a week left until our scanners pick up new missions!

[wraith shard]

thanks

[willow dagger]

does enemies in deep dives are also the same every time? i mean for example swarm composition, content of dreadnought egg, etc

i know that caves shape is always same

[low plover]

dreads are always same on mission, dunno if they're assigned to specific eggs. Cave leeches, spitballers and other stationaries are the same, also special entities like nemesis or huuli
I dont know about swarm composition tho

[willow dagger]

i see

thanks for info

[low plover]

doing my best

[eager atlas]

dreadnoughts spawn in order, not the actual location of the egg

swarm composition is consistent too afaik, though I've seen stationaries move or vanish sometimes, not sure what's the deal

[low plover]

you mean you can expect specific enemies like stingtails or menaces on certain stages?

[willow dagger]

interesting

[low plover]

You can see the mission patterns in pinned messages. Whenever you have elimination objective, it has note what dread will appear

[eager atlas]

yes, the enemy types that spawn should be the same every time

[low plover]

funny
knowledge about possible bulks durring salvage objective would help a lot 💀

[willow dagger]

also last question, kinda related, is golden detonator considered "stationary" enemy or not?

i mean, it spawns only at beginning and never later, just like breeder for example

[low plover]

it spawns withing start of mission, so I guess it counts
same with nemesis, it's enemy that roams caves until you provoke it

I never met crassus during DDs tho. Either due to its chance being super rare or being excluded from pool totally. The point of Deep Dives is to do objectives only, so there's not crafting minerals (unless you get Huuli) or events that could distract you. Digging golden ball takes a lot of time.

[wraith shard]

I believe that instead of Rock and Stone, we should be saying Rubble and Pebbles

[low plover]

wha 💀

[willow dagger]

umm...

[willow dagger]

i see

[exotic belfry]

Its not, its in the "Rare boss enemy" spawn pool. It does spawn on cave generation so its the same as stationary enemies in terms of when they spawn.
https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Glyphid_Crassus_Detonator

Also, they cannot spawn in a DD.

[ebon solstice]

EDD wasnt as bad as i thought it would be

last stage wasnt really any harder than a regular haz 5 industrial sabotage. elite enemies posed no real threat either

[mild salmon]

Anyone wanna play pretty consistently? Pm me

[harsh otter]

Hello all I just join the discord, but I can only type in this thread for some reason

[exotic belfry]

Go read #welcome-and-rules and grab a role to use other channels

[harsh otter]

Thank you

[exotic belfry]

I would make a post in one of the LFG channels, once people know you they will probably be down for more consistent gaming, but atm idk if anyone will respond since not many DM people they don't know

[livid pumice]

Hello everyone

[random rampart]

#welcome-and-rules pick a role, thatll get you access to other channels

[brave charm]

Are there any Russians here?

[random rampart]

there are, but #fan-communities has a link to a community with far more of them

[brave charm]

Спасибо

Thx

[atomic field]

Hey, I just promoted for the first time, I’m wondering how long do deep dives typically take?

[tiny gorge]

And hour to an hour and a half

[brisk spear]

less than an hour

[willow dagger]

usually between 30-50 minutes, depends heavily on this week objective and team

unless everyone ends in medbay, then it's different story

[atomic field]

Thanks

[languid isle]

Can anyone help me i cant write in the lfg chat

[celest ruin]

with a competent team and reasonable objective normal deep dives are usually 30-50 minutes, elite can be up to an hour

[willow dagger]

i often had elite dives faster than normal ones

probably because of better team

and fact nobody wastes time on pinging mushrooms and maggots

[livid pumice]

Guys

How do i pick a role?

[dim notch]

Recommendations before doing an elite dive?

[jagged rapids]

Go to the #welcome-and-rules channel and then pick a role. Also go to the "platforms" section and select your platform

[jagged rapids]

Great guide here:
https://youtu.be/e0swkHGtWfI?si=qANJiJpdEcJvn1QN

Tho tbh this week isn't a great one if you're not a fan of or struggle with industrial sabotage. Last stage is a bit rough

Main thing is just to watch your nitra. Some dives are more generous than others when it comes to nitra but you never know and rolling into a last stage with low nitra can sometimes break a great run

Everything else is pretty similar to deep dives just higher haz so time is of the essence.

Mining gold isn't really a thing you should spend time on in dives but especially not in elite ones when new. You want to get in and out of every stage as quick as possible. Doing so can also help conserve ammo and thus nitra

It's ok to leave a downed dwarf if it's too risky to get them during extraction. You'll see them next stage.

Try to not waste ammo shooting enemies (if possible) when getting to the drop pod, you'll need those bullets on the next stage more

And I'm sure there's other stuff I'm forgetting that others can chime in with

[dim notch]

The nitra spawn rate and amount is always the same, it's just that rng is sometimes a jerk and hides it, right?

[jagged rapids]

Not always but usually. Dives are seeded but there can be small variants from one run to run (aka if you do the same dive multiple times, you'll see some small differences between each run)

It's also worth noting that the dives on consoles usually aren't an exact match to the ones on steam since the max cave size on console is smaller than PC due to hardware limitations. The objectives are always the same for both communities but the cave layout might differ because of this

But a dive one week might have BUNCH of nitra and then the dive next week might have you just barely scraping by

[dim notch]

How much smaller are the caves on console? cuz some feel very legthy, close to be tedious actually.

I don't care much about roles, but that thing seems to not be working, i chose days ago the gunner icon in the role section of #welcome-and-rules and nothing has happened.
Edit: Nvm, i looked at my profile and it does have a tiny "gunner" tag, i was expecting more lol.

[ebon solstice]

First time probably an hour

Depends how fast you play and/or what the missions are

This weeks DD is pretty simple so it shouldn’t take you too long

[jagged rapids]

Your name is also green bc of that 😉

And tbh, I don't know the details on what the exact max size is for console or PC. I just know this is why our deep dive caves might not look the same

Maybe someone else here does

But it wouldn't change that much in terms of making the mission a significantly shorter if that's what you're asking

We still get big caves but if ya look at some PC videos or stuff on Reddit, you'll see the occasionally absolutely massive cave and we are spared from that

Like this one:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepRockGalactic/s/GLGhYKhYnP

Anywho, we gotta switch back to deep dive chat or move to #drg-chat before we get bonked for using wrong channel

[ebon solstice]

These caves are so annoying

A whole lotta nothing

[tiny gorge]

Deep dives reset on Thursday night, right?

[drifting tinsel]

there's a timestamp in the latest pin that automatically adjusts to the reset time in your timezone

whether or not that's thursday for you depends on what time zone you're in (* ´ ▽ ` *)

[zinc star]

caretaker final edd... lol

[solid tulip]

Hi! DRG player here, followed the link from steam but I don't have permission to post in LFG or to chat in the pods. Can't find an admin to message either. Can anyone help?

[gleaming blaze]

go to welcome and pick roles

[solid tulip]

Had a look in Roles, couldn't find anything helpful

[gleaming blaze]

assign yourself some by reacting to the character roles or platform?

[barren dagger]

They take them away once you click them

(Fellow new discord server member)

[exotic belfry]

Its broken half the time

[ebon solstice]

4 am pst thursday

[solid tulip]

How do I react?? This shit is so dumb

[exotic belfry]

Click on the reaction at the bottom

See the L

Like that but on the message in welcome

#welcome-and-rules message This message

#welcome-and-rules message Or this message

[solid tulip]

k done. nothing changed though. now what

[exotic belfry]

@barren dagger Also do this after reading the rules

[exotic belfry]

Done, your name is green and should have acces to talk

[solid tulip]

Yeah looks like I do now. Thanks for the help people. Sorry for language, this stuff is frustrating

[exotic belfry]

Yeah, its suposed to give you a union role automatically if joining from the game, so I suspect thats why its not mentioned in the actual #welcome-and-rules channel

[barren dagger]

Dankeshön

[reef girder]

the only time you should mine gold is for the same reason if you are going for speedplay in a mission: only if the current state of a stage is completely unaffectable by you

though obviously there are very little times that is the case

and that goes out the window completely in EDDs anyway

[normal shard]

Thursday noon danish time

[charred finch]

how do i get speaking perms on the other channels?

nvm

[cobalt cosmos]

GOD i need to play this game again

[spring grotto]

hello

[cosmic aurora]

[shadow temple]

Finally found the time to do the EDD for this week... I was kinda dreading it at first but I just finished it and it's quite possibly one of the easiest I've done so far

(probably cuz of the lack of blizzards)

I might be biased cuz I generally don't struggle at sabotage so the last stage was free....I'd be terrified if Stage 2 and Stage 3 swapped tho, I suck at PE

[rancid current]

Man you are either pretty good or there s some skill issue on my part but I just cant pass Stage 2. I did it only once and died at the last caretaker phase. I try to do it solo as a gunner and I would need some advice even though most probably I wont be able to finish this week's EDD.
Do I need to change my weapon? Should I use hurricane instead of leadstorm? Really dont know what to do besides avoid dying stupidly here and there.

[shadow temple]

I did it as a gunner myself with Rocky Mountain. I think the hardest part about that stage is the Morkite, most of the aquarqs are quite easy to get by using Bosco (there's also one part of the cave slightly above the Minehead that has like 3 aquarqs right there)

I'm just using LSLS and the BRT7

Which is what I use for every mission if I'm bringing gunner...idk none of the other primaries or secondaries catch my eye, even with the OCs

[rancid current]

Yea. I can get those in like 5 mins. But getting the morkite with continuous swarms after me I just cant keep up especially if there's something like 2 opressors and a rollypolly and after 2 swarms i just cant keep up with them. Maybe i just have to keep playing. Its my first EDD

[shadow temple]

That's interesting...maybe I'm lucky then, because the only thing that threatened my survivability was a bulk detonator in the first swarm and several trijaws in the second

I didn't see any oppressor or shellbacks

That being said, one thing that is brutal is the swarmers for sure

Every time a mini swarm appears, there's several of these guys, and it can be easy to throw away more ammo than u need to having to deal with them

[rancid current]

Prolly got some bad spawns my last run. Lost a lot of time till i managed to kill both opressors and the run was already lost since i couldnt keep up with the numbers. Read somewhere that i should get thorns for swarmers but since I'm pretty new I dont have a single Throns perk bought so maybe next time

[shadow temple]

Thorns is king haha, it's very good. I know most folks say there are better perks, but having a perk that takes down small enemies every once in a while is nice and helps in the long run

[bitter stump]

Hold up
You're running EDDs without all the perks maxed out?

[shadow temple]

I think the latter, u can't run EDDs on an unpromoted dwarf

[rancid current]

i mean im promoted on gunner and ran edd on solo for some times

and i dont have all the perks maxed out

[bitter stump]

Ok that's just based

I still struggle with EDDs even with overclocks and good perks (I suck at the game)

[shadow temple]

But yea generally I just don't like PEs. I avoid them in missions, I tend to begrudgingly bite my teeth when I have to do it for a DD/EDD

[rancid current]

also i remember i saw the drink that gives you 30% health at the bar just the run where i got to the last caretaker phase and i forgot to buy it. But it is what it is

[shadow temple]

Oh yikes, rip

[bitter stump]

Respectable

[shadow temple]

I wanted red rock as well, but then rocky mountain showed up first and I was like "Well I guess being able to mine aquarqs quicker would be nice"

[rancid current]

Does the "dark morkite" have effect in edd?

[shadow temple]

Yup it does

[rancid current]

Cause that would've been really useful

I guess

[shadow temple]

It would, but from what I remember, most of the Morkite is like...

[patent elk]

You and me are opposites lol. IS is my struggle while PE is a breeze. Then again I used to use PE to test all my builds when I was getting into haz 5 so I'm used to it. IS however I just can't get out of my own way in it and fail it.

[shadow temple]

Kinda high for some reason

I needed Bosco to get most of it down

[shadow temple]

We should combine our powers and become Karl v2

[patent elk]

Bet

[shadow temple]

I love IS for what it is, I think the one trump card that makes it so trivial for me is that I actually pickaxe the arms to death

Idk, I've played this game for close to 450 hours and I've only seen like 3 dwarves in my lifetime doing that

[patent elk]

I

I never knew you could do that

Wtf

[shadow temple]

Like idk how no one realises that even just hitting the arms at the base deals ridiculous dmg to it

[shadow temple]

Haha yup now u do

U run up to caretaker

[patent elk]

That just never crossed my mind to do that lmao

[shadow temple]

Do one pickaxe power smash, and the arm is dead (if your power attack is spec for dmg)

If it isn't, and it is spec for cooldown, that hardly matters

U pickaxe smash it, then u hit it one more time with a normal pick swing

[patent elk]

I spec for dmg on mine so it's perfect

[shadow temple]

The funky thing is

If all 4 dwarves know and coordinate

It's really that easy to disable all 4 arms instantly

[patent elk]

Well I'm gonna be keeping that in my back pocket for future IS missions

[shadow temple]

Yup yup, it's a good thing to utilise

I guess it also depends what class you're bringing as well to the fight

Certain weapons will definitely trivialise the fight, though that being said, I only know that for Driller and Engie

[patent elk]

It's usually the arms that spawn outside the 4 main spots that usually ruin myself and others

[shadow temple]

I don't know for gunner and scout, maybe both just gotta do it the old fashion way

[patent elk]

I bring either LSLS or build for fire

[shadow temple]

Ah, yea those ones suck, I just try to make sure I'm not hiding from the caretaker for too long

Yup, LSLS for me

For engie, I know some folks bring fat boy for the vents

But honestly I'd argue hyper prop is just better

U get to one shot vents, u get to deal bonkers dmg to the eye

But I guess to each their own

For Driller, that's just C4. Being able to just skip the vents phase is wickedly op lol

[patent elk]

I used to bring BC until I joined the church of hyper prop

[shadow temple]

Sameee

Used to just BC all the way

But then someone encouraged me to use hyper prop instead, and man

No regrets

[bitter stump]

Scout can cryo all 4 vents at once and get free 3x damage on them

Gunner just spams shield and dps' though everything

[shadow temple]

Oh damn

How much dmg does the cryo grenade do to the vents

[patent elk]

I knew it was gonna be good by seeing youtube vids but when I got it I haven't stopped using it cause of how hilarious the dmg was and how fun it'll be to use

[bitter stump]

250x4 cold to vents since you hit all 4 of them at once

[shadow temple]

Mini c4

[bitter stump]

I use it to meme on top of the caretaker and magdump the vents with hipster since I refuse to use any other m1k build

[shadow temple]

I must try that next

[bitter stump]

Idk if the vents count as weakspots, but if they do I'd imagine aise would do a good job as well it's frozen in this context why do I think weakpoint matters here

[shadow temple]

I think I tried that?

Dmg seems a bit...lacklustre

[bitter stump]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Driller max damage c4 is better but it's viable solo

[burnt sandal]

vents don't count as weakpoints btw

[burnt sandal]

and that should be fixed

[bitter stump]

What I can't freeze caretaker with one cryo nade anymore? :<

[burnt sandal]

doesn't work anymore AFAIK

[bitter stump]

Sadge

At least it still works on betc

[patent elk]

Omw to bug reports to ask devs to undo it

[eager atlas]

Turret EM discharge for the vents, hyperprop for everything else

[prisma coral]

w

[solid walrus]

So I have to get nausea when jumping on top of caretaker now?

[wheat gull]

Solo EDD feels weird, calling in a resupply and only using 1 sleeve feels so wasteful

[scenic jetty]

You love to see completing both dd and edd then gulping down a blackout stout and closing the lobby right before we get sent to the med bay

[hushed sequoia]

the vents can still be frozen on caretaker

[shadow temple]

Lol it does. Personally I usually only use 1 resupply on most stages. What you can do is just use the sleeve as usual, and once you complete your objectives, send the drop pod, then restock another sleeve or 2 and try to get back to the drop pod without using any ammo

That's about as much as you can do to utilise it xD

I personally think engineer should have an innate ability where he dismantles the supply pod and takes one sleeve with him on his backpack
/j

[eager atlas]

you don't actually spin when on top of it, you shouldn't stand on it while the fight is going anyway, you place the turrets at the start and hit them as the fight goes

[golden vine]

Jdbedh

I ❤️ deep rock

[marble mango]

[split narwhal]

Is it me or are randoms really shitting the bed on the elite deep dive

[cinder citrus]

I just think more greenbeards are giving dd a shot

[split narwhal]

I don't want to be the dude kicking people for not having prestige on their miner but shiet

[bitter stump]

How are they joining an edd without a promotion???

[split narwhal]

Not literally just having one star but having multiple stars or a high ass level so I can assume they have game sense

Folks out here dying to zerg rushes because they don't have thorns and get chomped to death

[cinder citrus]

Don't do it it's a slippery slope into leaf lover territory

[split narwhal]

But they are literally wasting my time

[cinder citrus]

Then solo it or go into the lfg on the discord. Bosco is quite the companion

[split narwhal]

I usually joke that bosco is better than randoms but this might be one of them times

[bitter stump]

Bosco is built different if you can handle the bugs

[lapis mica]

[quaint nacelle]

[lapis mica]

hi

[raven carbon]

I've found that the random lobbies get worse the later in the week you play

[limpid pendant]

any tips for the last stage of EDD, tried solo scout but died at the caretaker :<

[shadow temple]

Honestly, kind of actually, especially if any mission wants u to hunt eggs or aquarqs

Being able to just tell Bosco to go get that aquarq that is 80m away at the other end of the cave is a pretty tremendous advantage most of the time over, say, another player

[shadow temple]

I went as gunner for this, mostly cuz I've never really tried doing IS on scout for the most part anyway

Just thinking of how I'm supposed to defend the hack bot twice with a scout is kinda daunting for the most part, not to mention it's got elite threat tied to it

[limpid pendant]

Yeah honestly Double Barrel OC is a carry for defending hacksy

it just clears anything off it

not sure if hacksy takes the shockwave dmg too but he seems to be quite resilient at least

[jolly wing]

Usually when I solo, I just use phero + Bosco missile to clear swarms

[loud rivet]

Anyone feeling stressed with his academics?

[jolly wing]

Dwarven academics?

All you need to do is rock and stone!

||forget learning other basics like learning how to install pipelines properly in refinery||

[coarse vessel]

Tried twice the EDD as a gunner
Lost once second stage waiting for drop pod and the other time fighting the caretaker, last stage

Is it a good thing for driller to take the cryo gun?

[raven carbon]

Difficult to do caretaker fight with cryo cannon if you're asking for this week's edd

Otherwise in general cryo cannon is good with the right build and weapon/perk combos

[coarse vessel]

Ok

I just felt that it was a disruptive combo, cause I had hellfire(?)

Well, a pure fire based build with gunner

Then on first try scout was leaving bits and pieces or just not taking every chunk of nitra

And engi was just placing turrets without reloading them

Might give it a last try today

Coil gun was 👌 to take down turrets

[gleaming blaze]

just tried it solo engi, got all 7 aquarqs at about 12 minutes in to stage 2, by 40 minutes in to stage 2 I still needed 20 morkite

it was in some very rude spots

[coarse vessel]

Morkite found!

[wheat gull]

Ikr? Cryo got it rough against robots.

I've also found that my favorite gunner build (carpet bomber & elephant round) suffers against the caretaker, but not nearly as rough as cryo.

[wheat gull]

I think the biggest hurdle this week is the caretaker, and it seems to me that raw damage output is king. Getting sucked into the rez-cycle is a hard spiral to escape, so I've found burning it down fast works really well.

[raven carbon]

Yeah carpet bomber might not do so well

Elephant round is pretty slow so it won't do the rapid damage in small windows that helps to finish the caretaker fight fast

[raven carbon]

The hardest fight on Sabotage is the caretaker and especially in this edd because it's the last stage so it's best to optimise build for that fight

Cryo doesn't do much against robots and the caretaker for different reasons

If intent on driller, then sludge blast can be good

Flamethrower does quick work of robots and patrol bots in particular

[coarse vessel]

My first scout had a shotgun and the second the crossbow

Might try it as a scout

[raven carbon]

Mm wouldn't be my first choice in sabotage

Deepcore is better against caretaker imo

[coarse vessel]

I love my GK2 with Mercy OC and Zhukov with embedded detonators build

[raven carbon]

You could try gk2 with ai stability and zhukov with gas recycling

I've had good results against caretaker with this build

[graceful brook]

[coarse vessel]

Will do, thanks

[solid walrus]

Sabo with waves and stationaries is nuts 800 kills in that stage alone lmao

Good edd actually

[vocal lion]

Anyone wanna do the EDD with me? Haven't played anything higher than Haz 4, so I'm shiverin' me timbers rn

[eager atlas]

The #928582985559736360 channels might be a better place to ask, not sure

[vocal lion]

Oh, didn't know that was a thing.

How do you make an invite??

[eager atlas]

no idea personally, maybe this helps https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001557452-Game-Invites-and-Detailed-Status-Rich-Presence-

[vocal lion]

You literally just press the plus button XD

Thanks!

[wheat gull]

Yeah, it's not ideal. I've found that my carpet bomber build can hit all four vents at once, but the DPS is so low that it's a problem; there's no such thing as standing around holding the trigger in that fight. The elephant gun does decent chunks of damage, but its not very ammo efficient and the recoil means you can really only fire one shot at a time.

It would help if the caretaker was vulnerable to explosions, or if the vents were considered weakpoints.

[wheat gull]

There are some very satisfying waves to fight that's for sure. I recall a giant wave squeezing through a hole to try to reach the team, only to get mowed down with the autocannon enmasse. Team turned around and was like "wtf that's a lot of bodies" lol

[gleaming blaze]

"I'm not stuck in here with you, you're stuck in here with me" -Carpet Bomb enjoyers when bug

[wheat gull]

Really though. Grunt swarm = Endorphins

[bitter stump]

Leadstorm and hurricane are generally better against caretaker and bots in general

[wheat gull]

Oh yeah definitely.

I'm kinda just at an impasse because my carpet-bomber elephant-rounds build is meant to be my go-to all-rounder.... but those damn robots though

[gleaming blaze]

I'm kinda on the opposite side of the specturm on this edd methinks

anytime its industrial sabo time I bust out ye olde hyperprop, but it wasn't gonna cut it for aquarqs

What is the difference between a normal mission and DD?

[nimble fractal]

there's a good writeup in pins, essentially 3 missions in a row

[elder mirage]

a deep dive is a weekly seeded mission consisting of 3 stages, with each stage having 2 different primary objectives

[burnt sandal]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[timber current]

ty

[outer bloom]

Team of 4 should be able to get sub 8 minutes on this DD (new WR). Stage 1, each person grab 1 egg and 38 morkite. I’m thinking stage 2, 3 players do the black box while one grabs the aquarqs. Stage 3, do the mini mules first with pheromones and then mass pull all eggs. My guess is 1 driller and 3 Scouts would be optimal. Rocky Mountain beer would help with the terrain.

[thorn jewel]

You are amazing

[timber current]

I cant even do a hazard 4 let alone DD

[thorn jewel]

How do you clip again in current patch

I havent gotten it in months

Clip into pod^

[wraith shard]

you'll get there eventually

[timber current]

It probs dont help i play with a squad

[nimble fractal]

is there any real trick to it though? feel like it's pure rng

[eager atlas]

the regular dive is haz 3.5 on the last two levels so it should be doable if you can haz 3

[thorn jewel]

I cant remember if its rng or not

I got it consistently months ago and now zero

Dunno if I changed a setting

[nimble fractal]

i get it in most runs but sometimes first try and sometimes it takes a minute

[eager atlas]

I heard clipping from the side depends on framerate

[timber current]

I kinda suck anyway so

the more you play, the less you suck

[nimble fractal]

you'll get there

this week's EDD was decent

not too hard, not too easy

[fathom coral]

EDD was easy

2nd lvl can catch you slacking off rip tho, lol

bless drop pod immunity

[eager atlas]

does dreadnought prevent point extraction spawns or does it only block the announced swarms

[buoyant wing]

in my experience it just continues spawning bugs as normal

[fathom coral]

they kept spawning buggers

[turbid dawn]

only announced

[fathom coral]

also it seems (?) they removed the Engi getting turret ammo back after each stage

if so, kinda lame

[exotic belfry]

it was a bug that they finally where able to fix.

[cinder citrus]

That was a bug

[exotic belfry]

According to the patch notes, yes

[cinder citrus]

I thought it was just a qol feature

I've got 4 unique deep dives before Xbox gets that change

[exotic belfry]

lol

[violet raptor]

Is this weeks edd doable solo?

[eager atlas]

all EDDs are doable solo

[strong pumice]

any dd or edd party?

cant i post print screens here ? 😦

[left imp]

game crashed twice on me now on the EDD right before starting caretaker, playing engie with EM discharge turrets

Just finished my first EDD ever. Solo gunner. Lvl 24 acc. Was this one an easy one or a hard one from your experience? Just want to know what to expect))

Figured it out :)) Ty. Already said the main idea.

[hybrid ridge]

tough edd for solos. hard to balance the mobility, single target, and wave clear for all 3 stages

[echo kiln]

[strong pumice]

[sinful pewter]

Failed the EDD, 2nd stage was too much with the elite mactera

[neat geode]

With WHAT?

[sinful pewter]

my fire hurricane build with OFM and Hellfire, barely had any missiles (I guess it was my bad I didnt order a resupply sooner), and didnt have IW

dammit

Im gonna try again tomorrow

[forest mango]

EDD LobbY open on PS if y’all wanna play

2 slots open

[devout peak]

First stage 4/10 eavrything besides that easy. -haz 5 speedruner and lvl 680

[misty maple]

what did he mean by this

[zenith ember]

the elites on stage 2 are kind of an issue with the macteras and slashers with both eggs and mule waves

luckily no elite bulk on my full team run

[bitter canyon]

but why does it allow messaging to deep dive discussion

[zenith ember]

🤷‍♂️

[charred oasis]

EDD for this week was kinda cake ngl

[limpid zinc]

EDD felt like a joke tbh

[shadow temple]

Don't think it graces an experience description; EDD was pretty easy this time 'round with nothing significant to note

[turbid dawn]

Ask a moderator about channel permissions

[spiral badge]

Recommend class for EDD or any works?

[weary copper]

master them all

[weary copper]

are you solo?

[spiral badge]

I’ll do co-op on it

[weary copper]

ah, whatever helps the team then

[light grotto]

best loadout for scout EDD? i'm struggling to find what i like rn

co-op w/just one other rn ^^

we get halfway through it and die to a shit ton of stingtails

[exotic belfry]

21222 AISE GK2 + 12232 DB boomstick

32122 ER GK2 + 23221 MM Zhukov

13211 Hipster M1K + Any secondary

13221 Hoverclock M1K + Any secondary

[spiral badge]

Stage 2 was rough when you go in the “pit”

[tawdry flame]

Both normal and Elite were easy as hell this week lmao. Two-manned both as Engi and Gunner.

[light grotto]

unfortunately i don't own all overclocks yet :( that's why i'm struggling rn

[low plover]

It annoys me almost each EDD I attempt has either IS or Rival Presence, which forces me to go fire based build

I know, I can do other builds, but I just hate these shredders and rival bots, I want to get rid of them asap

[drifting tinsel]

EDD this week did not treat me well but i was also running it with people who dipped halfway through the first stage

i think i'll give it another go with a team that'll actually stay with me lol

[sinful pewter]

yea same, I wanna finally complete my first EDD

[turbid dawn]

just do it!

[turbid dawn]

use drills against shredders. drills count as melee dmg

[low plover]

I mean building for gunner

[acoustic violet]

need help

industrial sabotage

[exotic belfry]

What OC's do you have? Almost all on scout are great and have good builds for em

[light grotto]

homebrew powder 11113
thermal exhaust feedback 32132

custom casings (haven't picked a mod tree yet)
cryo minelets 13212
trifork volley 32112

running therm exh and trifork

but i managed to get some help ^^

[turbid dawn]

coilgun great

[bitter canyon]

you could scice it up with vim sludge

[low plover]

I have efficient build against robots.
Im just irritated almost each EDD I hop to has these robots, Im quite bored used fire bukd over and over
Im thinking about what else would work quite well

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role

[turbid dawn]

Well at one point there was double ind sab in dds/edds

[low plover]

I remember, but I wasnt at the phase of going DD at this time, so

Also offtop, why is this Channel even accessible for newcomers but not drg-chat 💀

[turbid dawn]

I don't know why folks think that edd is super difficult, when new, run with a team and ask what to do. Did my first on very first week, struggled a bit but cleared it and never looked back

[low plover]

Im this kind of person who like to be prepared for everything
(Also waited for my folks, because they wanted to experience first DD together)

BTW, since IS is first stage, I guess any other build should go just fine

[eager atlas]

interestingly, I think running solo can teach you more, since it's easy to know why you're dying and see what your build is lacking

[turbid dawn]

imo less likely for a 1 week freshie to clear successfully leading to disheartening

[wanton knot]

tbh greenbeards in pub lobbies dont ask for help very often

if they do it goes well
when they usually don't they go down 15 times

[turbid dawn]

yeah, theres no real reason to try a rando pub if u dont know what ur doing when this discord has a great helpful community. i tell every rando i meet which pod im in atm

there are resources to get better

sure ppl dont know about them, but if you chose not to... cant help em

drg isn't dark souls its not punishing at all

[wanton knot]

yeaa gotta seek it out though, i do feel bad for the occasional greenbeard in a haz 5 lobby that clearly doesn't know what they're doing

though lately my lobbies have been exclusively 100+ because ive been sticking to haz 4 and 5 so i don't have the best frame of reference

[turbid dawn]

yup, but joining a rando looby dying 3 times in 2 mins is my signal to kick especially if they do not respond to chat

[wanton knot]

i don't go as far to kick, they usually just leave on their own

[turbid dawn]

i think >400 is greenbeard, especially for primarily solo players who havent read what team scaling is

[wanton knot]

less than 400? dayum lmao

[turbid dawn]

i often do the dds/edds with sub 100s multiple times a week

[wanton knot]

player rank 530 myself

[turbid dawn]

i dont shit on em, tell em once what to do

[wanton knot]

yee

[turbid dawn]

then see what happens

[wanton knot]

if someone doesn't listen then i consider the kick button for sure

[turbid dawn]

imo rank is almost irrelevant to skill, but in my experience most dwarves i meet sub 400 do not understand or have looked up builds for haz 5

[midnight axle]

Hello I'm new here, how do I get access to the rest of the chats?

[turbid dawn]

just haz 5 - i ofcourse kick folks from haz 5+ lobbies

[turbid dawn]

get a role in #welcome-and-rules

[midnight axle]

Ahhh thanks

[wanton knot]

understandable

[turbid dawn]

in todays edd run i specifically asked a rando scout not to take the ammo from the caretaker bursting tunnel i built

they died in 1st phase, instant ironwilled, came to my tunnel and tried to take ammo

[wanton knot]

yeah ok the instant iron

[turbid dawn]

after they said they understood why i needed 4 resups

i insta kick such dwarves

[wanton knot]

oh yeah

that boils my blood just reading that

did you even go down once that fight lmao

[turbid dawn]

i will forgive language understanding

or bad gameplay

[wanton knot]

arrogance is a nuh uh

and ignorance

[turbid dawn]

but you cannot say one thing and then proceed to do another

immediately after that run, we got another scout, was playing with 3 sub 100s, who died 16 times by stage 2, who i asked not to di

[wanton knot]

eughh

[turbid dawn]

and they proceeded to play ultra safe in last stage although it took em 20 mins to kill a dread

[wanton knot]

i respect the effort but god damn

[turbid dawn]

didnt kick em, just explained what they are expected to do on comms

and thats it

[wanton knot]

i do NOT like carrying lobbies like that

[turbid dawn]

ah my friends are new and they feel too much pressure if im the only other player in the lobby

too much panic amongst em greenies

[wanton knot]

oh gosh i cant even imagine

seeing the game in such a different way than new players

[turbid dawn]

idc if i fail a mission

i have fun killing bugs..

[wanton knot]

i only don't like losing when it's like

the mission has taken 30 minutes

or it was due to some user error that we lost

(someone ran into betc)

[turbid dawn]

btw at start of looby i recommend to ppl (randos) what they should do

[wanton knot]

i usually try to call out dangerous things immediatelt

and if there's anything we can do with them like

[turbid dawn]

life of a dwarf, got assume someone is gonna f it all up

[wanton knot]

bulks on elim

tell everyone "kill dread with it?" and then we try

[turbid dawn]

this is very hard to explain to ppl

especially randos

[wanton knot]

i still mess it up sometimes lol

[turbid dawn]

or just crassus luring into caves

[turbid dawn]

failing an attempt is irrelavant, attempting is imp

[wanton knot]

ofc

it did hurt when i tried to kill a dread while the whole team was down

classic

didn't brwak armor beforehand

bwomp

[turbid dawn]

skill issues are always tolerable

[wanton knot]

ye ofc

just felt bad lmao

[turbid dawn]

you laugh at the lack of info provide the info and move on

[wanton knot]

yep

completely agree

[tall meadow]

There comes a point where you don't really need to tell others what to do or what's recommended and just roll with the punches

[turbid dawn]

oh ofcourse this is true

[wanton knot]

i only really try to tell people stuff when i fear we are going to fuck it up without comms lmao

[turbid dawn]

but there are situationally terrible plays you can make thats just wastes ppls time

as non host you get kick for not rezzing someone in the midst of a swarm gbang

ppl join lobbies order resups and troll or just add to player count difficulty and not move

3 teammates die to the same leech you pinged in another room

lots of fun shizzz randos do

[wanton knot]

hate that one in particular

[turbid dawn]

and we forgive everytime

[wanton knot]

yee

[turbid dawn]

not to mention solo crutch engis with fatboi who bring it to haz5+ and nuke the whole team

[wanton knot]

i don't get the players that revive me before killing the leech i died to

[tall meadow]

Been playing for a long time and honestly the problems are far and few in between still

[turbid dawn]

depends on the lobbies you get

[tall meadow]

All part and parcel of the game in the end

[wanton knot]

yeah my lobbies are usually good

[turbid dawn]

yup forgive an forget

[wanton knot]

sometimes you get some extra difficulty though lol

[turbid dawn]

added bonus

[tall meadow]

It's less forgiving and more of "that was funny"

But the meaning is understood kek

[turbid dawn]

to each their own copium

[tall meadow]

Not really cope? It's just "meh"

[wanton knot]

it's funny when you're all cracked

it's forgive when the greenbeard dies for the 5th time

it does hurt my soul a bit when they say "sorry" when they go down though

[turbid dawn]

this is when i laugh, or when they leave

[wanton knot]

yep

[turbid dawn]

i still remember and thank the dwarves that were kind enough to show me the ropes, i try to do as often as i can

it has generally been a good experience playing with randos in this game

[wanton knot]

yeah 99% of games even when peeps go down all the time

[tall meadow]

Mhm

[wanton knot]

when lobbies do get a bit spicy and i have to try harder to make sure we don't lose though, those are memorable for the wrong reasons lol

[turbid dawn]

if they arent "trying" to grief its fine

[wanton knot]

yep

it's all fun and games until someone tries to sabotage the team for no real reason

[misty maple]

I'm still rather green and have only completed a few deep dives, but I want to start doing them weekly. I just did the regular one (this is my first time doing it in a random lobby w/o my friends) and it went fine, but I'm worried about the EDD. Can this one be done as scout? I also have gunner promoted but I play him really badly. Do you guys have any tips that could help me clear it/subsequent DDs?

[long minnow]

ROCKNSTONE

[misty maple]

yo @potent seal tips plz 🛐 i will keep bothering you about this

[eager atlas]

Can this one be done as scout?
Yes, all EDDs can be done solo or team as any class as long as you know what you're doing

[turbid dawn]

#deep-dive-discussion message here you go

[misty maple]

that's the problem, i don't really know what i'm doing

[eager atlas]

EDD in public lobbies depends on your team a bit, if you are not able to carry the match yourself

[turbid dawn]

or able to check for pins that tells you what the missions are 🙂

[misty maple]

ooh the pins are helpful, thank you

[eager atlas]

yeah you can see what the levels are so you know what to expect before hand, somewhat

helps being familiar with the warnings, my very first EDD failed because I had never done rival presence before, didn't know what the deal was with the turret controler or the fact that nemesis won't actually release you

but if you know the missions and the warnings, it's just up to your skill to get things done

[turbid dawn]

also be patient while you're learning, the game is info heavy at the start but once you understand what to look out for things become simpler, plus youll learn tons of tricks along the way to do what you need in caves
