[sweet narwhal]

nah i think thats it

[paper snow]

What about if I do the normal deep dive?

Can I do the elite and the normal and get cores from both?

[unkempt dew]

@paper snow both elite and normal dives grant exp and cores

Cores from both dives are one time rewards per week

[paper snow]

So if u do one, u can't get more from the other difficulty?

[jolly wing]

both rewards are different yes

[unkempt dew]

You can do a normal deep dive, get the blank+cosmetic+weapon core

Do the elite, and then get another set of cores

[paper snow]

Oh ok, cool

[jolly wing]

so if you complete both DD and EDD you can get 2 blanks, 2 OC cores and 2 accessory cores

per week

[paper snow]

So I have another chance at getting hellfire, and getting lead spray

[unkempt dew]

Yes

[jolly wing]

yea

[paper snow]

Thank you very much :3

[unkempt dew]

You also get a set of cosmetic+wep+blank cores on promotion

Which is not on a weekly timer

[paper snow]

👀

I'm level 23 on my gumner rn

[turbid dawn]

this was a perfect change to lower the grind

[paper snow]

When did they add that?

[jaunty raven]

I'm new to the game and am kinda curious about something. Are the perks universal or do I need to equip them somewhere?

If there was a tooltip or Tutorial for it.. I must have missed it

[bitter stump]

Equipment terminal

[jaunty raven]

Oh thx man

[bitter stump]

👍

[jaunty raven]

Appreciate it man, Rock and Stone!

Also kinda curious why this is the only channel I can type in, but I guess it's because I just joined

[jolly wing]

#welcome-and-rules and pick a role

[paper snow]

Can I do a deep dive just fine with just one other person?

If elite DD is Haz 5.5

Then is normal haz 4.5?

[eager atlas]

normal is 3, 3.5 and 3.5

elite is 4.5, 5 and 5.5

that's each level
you can do it solo, you can do it in a duo, as long as you can pull your weight it's all fine

[misty maple]

I thought normal was 3.5, 4, 4.5

oops

[eager atlas]

nope

[turbid dawn]

start of season 4 if im notwrong

[paper snow]

U might be right

[misty maple]

No I'm wrong

Just checked the wiki

[paper snow]

O

[turbid dawn]

no

[paper snow]

Wow, that's honestly kinda weak.

[misty maple]

ye ik, just checked the wiki

[paper snow]

Huge

[eager atlas]

yeah the regular dive is fairly easy, the elite is where things can get interesting

[paper snow]

This current deep dive is painful with the mactera

~_~

I'm so glad I switched from minigun to jetfuel homebrew hurricane

I love this so much

[robust storm]

hello geys

[unkempt dew]

When they debated fixing an exploit that let people refresh the weekly missions and earn more cores. They patched it, but reimplemented it in a more organic way

Sometime late in season 3

[unkempt dew]

Ya. Deep dives stay below haz 4, elite dives stay above haz 4.

[undone belfry]

There is hoarder that has a chance to spawn

which mean you can get crafting minerals

but not really worth considered dd and edd are usually for matrix core

[undone belfry]

though its also same day that they patch the bug where you can keep redo assignment for matrix core after promotion
peoples want to keep it so they make change that promote give matrix core now

[paper snow]

Classic drug dev W

[paper snow]

I swear that thing spawns like every time, it's so common

[jolly wing]

which is why i like to bring cryo when im driller

that clown car aint going away on my watch!

[light ice]

just finished elite deep

holy shit that was rough

thankfully the randoms i join knew what they were doing

[unkempt dew]

Cryo nading the huuli is great as scout too

[turbid dawn]

hoarders in dd/edd are seeded spawns, so i you find one it will be there for all your runs that week.

[paper snow]

Oh, good to know

[tribal nymph]

so the weekly rewards from deep dives reset for the same dwarf after promotion?

[turbid dawn]

no

[vague ridge]

That was a bug for a brief period of time

After cores for promotions got implemented

It isn't around anymore

[spiral dagger]

Hello , I am a beginner dwarf wanting to know if 5 dwarves can play in a session .

[burnt sandal]

no

not without mods

[spiral dagger]

Thanks for the advice

[tribal nymph]

so the best way is permagrind promotions?

im kinda unlucky with events spawn

[cinder citrus]

You might wanna get a role in https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/354250235419164682 so you can talk in the other chats

[turbid dawn]

you will still be limited by the number of blank cores you get a week

[wraith shard]

i was washing my dishes and accidentally somehow made a loud stingtail sound and deadass jumped

[cinder citrus]

Wrong chat buddy

[wraith shard]

cant chat there 😔

[burnt sandal]

yes you can if you read #welcome-and-rules

or scroll up a bit

[wraith shard]

oh whoops

[cinder citrus]

You saw nothing

[wraith shard]

thank you

[wraith shard]

[violet girder]

how do i get permissions to type in the chats ?

this the only one i can type in

i also cant join the vc's

[green cobalt]

Hi guys!

Im new here

[bitter stump]

Loool

[cinder citrus]

Just read the https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/354250235419164682 tab and pick a role and you should be all good

[violet girder]

i figured it out thank you !

[daring sandal]

drg chat is too crowded so i'll ask here, is getting a good overclock luck dependent? or is there specific missions i can do to obtain them

[cinder citrus]

Completely random

Every oc has the same chance to drop so yes it's all luck based

[daring sandal]

dang, but at some point it should be possible to get the good ones right?

since if i'm not mistaken duplicate oc's aren't a thing

cuz of redundancy

i seem to get a lot of junk ones sadly

[cinder citrus]

It could take until your final oc to get a good one or it could be your first. That's why the oc grind kinda sucks 😔

[raven carbon]

Correct

[raven carbon]

Eventually you'll get everything

In which sequence you'll get it is completely random

[still geode]

Plenty of overclocks are fairly solid aswell, there are a few major outliers thar are blatantly overpoweres or extremely weak but generally speaking the gap between a decent overclock and a good one is smaller than between no overclock and a decent one

[unique stream]

when you're in the middle or in the later parts of your OC grind you'll start to get a lot of good OCs in a row

[still geode]

Or you can be like me and get ntp as your second overclock

[unique stream]

i got hyper prop ecr executioner venting fatboy(i didn't type this) impact deflection double barrel efs AISE in like 3 days

or longer maybe

how was this week's EDD stage 3 for everyone

i saw everyone saying it's piss easy but it was the opposite for us

[slender mulch]

Does anyone know why the progress I had in the ps4 game didn't carry over to the PS5 game I'm like I've started playing

[zealous ivy]

any changes in acc? couldve been a different account used for drg, you may have to log into that one

[jagged rapids]

Wrong channel, let's keep this convo in the #playstation channel

[patent elk]

Pretty sure you're gonna need to get the role from #welcome-and-rules to gain access

Unless I'm wrong and #drg-chat is the only channel that has that issue

[cinder citrus]

A couple of them have that I believe

It's not an issue either

It weeds out bots and forces people to read the welcome tab

[umbral plover]

So...I haven't been able to finish a single Elite Deep Dive. Any tips?

[vapid umbra]

Full team & a plan? Try different order of things?

I've had some where we played them like 8 times

[tiny dagger]

get good

[cinder citrus]

Don't listen to nezon and play a lot of haz 5 missions until they become easy enough to do without failing and then you should then be ready to do a edd

Also don't panic if a teammate goes down you'll have time to rez them once you're free to do so

[valid ginkgo]

Yes since standing still for even a few seconds can kill you, try to be sure that you won't die when reviving.

[cinder citrus]

I really should've mentioned that first.
NEVER STOP MOVING

[valid ginkgo]

Movement is important. Indeed. You'll probably see all the haz 5 players always jumping around and doing parkour. lol

[tiny portal]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-scott-the-office-parkour-funny-gif-9984287

Average haz5 player at any given moment

[valid ginkgo]

[tropic mist]

i mean isnt this a long winded way of saying play more.... IE get gud?

[tropic mist]

my team died more on EDD stage 1 because we kept popping both eggs at the same time. But yeah, once we got to stage three we did it first try.

All of the stages seemed pretty compact, like the stage 2 pipes didn't really need to go that far compared to other deep dives in the past.

[valid ginkgo]

It's not really a tip though. Sure it leads there but it's too broad.

[tropic mist]

that's fair.

[umbral plover]

Plus it makes people come off as an asshole

[valid ginkgo]

Can't deny that, yeah.

[cunning iris]

Is this the place to share my first ever EDD without a single down?

Cause I just did that 😄

[celest charm]

That's getting good with a lot more words

nezon was right smh

[celest charm]

If you play driller you can also bunker on the fly if things are just not in your favor

tunnel into a wall and use your aoe to obliterate a swarm

and then use drills to run away

and leave the tunnel

[shadow temple]

I remembered struggling to finish my first EDD and it also took me a good amount of time before finally getting a team of greybeards that were efficient.

But I couldn't really play with a group with EDD due to how my work schedule operates, so I've been soloing it. Interestingly enough, I honestly find solo a lot more...controllable. I wouldn't say it'll be flat out easier than finding a team, but you have the following benefits:

• You own every supply pod
• Your spawn rates are significantly reduced (almost by half compared to a full team)
• Enemy damage and resistances are reduced
• You always have at least 3 lives assuming you bring Bosco (more if you select the appropriate mods or Iron Will)
• Egg and Aquarq missions are now a joke (real)

Personally I've never been able to do Haz 5 for the longest time. EDD was what helped me learn how to do Haz 5 because I was semi-forced to do it solo each time, and naturally you just kinda learn and adapt to it over time. Practice

[umbral plover]

just hit the solo button and it won't start?

[shadow temple]

It should start tho

Unless u are trying on an unpromoted dwarf

[umbral plover]

Yeah that was it

[umbral plover]

FUCK

We just all died...IN THE DROP POD

[spiral cedar]

I've done a couple deep dives. Heard EDD's were crazy.

[eager atlas]

they are just haz 5 missions with warnings, some are relatively calmed, others are pain

the last level is 5.5 but you usually have far more nitra than you do, so you can afford to just be wasteful with ammo and go crazy

[wraith shard]

Does the mission hazard level influence cargo crate / lost gear spawn rates? Or only the mission type and length?

[patent dust]

Hey everyone just statrted the game last night just seeing if anyone wants too join me

[cinder citrus]

read the https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/354250235419164682 tab and pick a role and you should be all good to chat in the other tabs

Also use the lfg tabs to find gsmes

[patent dust]

Oh my bad thought I was on that

[terse seal]

how do i join a voice caht?

[cinder citrus]

read the https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/354250235419164682 tab and pick a role and then you will be able to join a chat

[wraith shard]

just promoted and didnt get a matrix core, that normal?

[cinder citrus]

No

[static leaf]

I want to post in gallery

[low plover]

Have you just finished your promotion assigment or did you promote yourself in Memorial Hall as well?

[burnt sandal]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[static leaf]

Thank you

[muted geyser]

Yo why can i only type in some chats but not in general and cant access VCs

[cosmic aurora]

choose a role in #welcome-and-rules

[raven carbon]

Finish the promotion assignment, buy the promotion, and then click on claim when you see the rewards

[mighty urchin]

Hey so

What are the missions in this week EDD?

[cinder citrus]

This is an impressive level of non reading for today

[cinder citrus]

Check the pinned message

[mighty urchin]

Sorry, new to the server

[cinder citrus]

Oh no I'm not referring to you sorry just the people who didn't read the welcome tab

[cinder citrus]

I'm really sorry

[mighty urchin]

🤙

[muted geyser]

Crazy that people don't do that

[cinder citrus]

It sure is

[jagged rapids]

If it was your first promotion, you do not receive the usual rewards bc the first promotion already has a unique reward (aka new perk slot, getting the ability to do deep dives and machine events)

[hollow bridge]

current elite deep dive is brutally unforgiving

it's called Uncovered Split and i've tried it 5 times

[unique stream]

deep dive?

[hollow bridge]

1st time, connection lost
2nd time, connection lost
3rd time, accidentally downed a teammate and host disbanded the team
4th time, so close to killing both dreadnoughts while dealing with haunted cave bullshit. Everyone got downed so nobody was successful
5th time, connection lost.

i give up

[jagged rapids]

If you're looking for players, please ask in #lfg-steam

[unique stream]

no i was just wondering

[jagged rapids]

Yeesh, that can be rough but you're so close

[unique stream]

dreads is elite deep dive

[jagged rapids]

Ahh, gotcha

[hollow bridge]

i really was so close.

[unique stream]

play more scouts and kite around the haunted horror

[hollow bridge]

i've been playing scout

[jagged rapids]

I usually get em first or second try, but every know and then one comes across that just brutalize. I think my peak was 11 tries like 3 months ago on a dive. Was very humbling, hadn't happened in a while.

Ya can definitely get it, sometimes it's the last try that gets the dub

[hollow bridge]

this was the first stage.

[unique stream]

haunted is shit

expected

[jagged rapids]

Nah, haunted you've got the concept with scout but anyone can do it. A sludge driller with slow can help tremendously (ghost is NOT immune to slowing effects OR pheromones)

[unique stream]

we played 4 scout and had easy access to res

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[jagged rapids]

Scouts can also practice zipping just along the EDGE of the ghost radius to trigger the stomp and it'll hit all the enemies

Gotta either weaponize the ghost in your favor or have someone who can keep it nice and slow

[unique stream]

don't miss any nitra

another tip is go in with dark morkite so you don't waste time ngl worth it cuz all 3 stages have morkite

[jagged rapids]

Always keep it pinged bc that's what usually gets people imho is just not keeping track of it and getting ninja'd

[hollow bridge]

been trying to get all nitra, been trying to get the morkite and even have been pinging the thing

it's still been a pain in the ass

[unique stream]

how's your ping

[hollow bridge]

idk, every host i've been on has horrible internet

[unique stream]

host it yourself

honestly you could try solo if you're not scared

OSR is fine on scout

at least this map

pumpjack on top can be connected with some salt pits bs i think

[jagged rapids]

I'd offer to help ya as I actually enjoyed this week's EDD bc it was long but not too crazy (for me at least but I do these often).

Lfg channel might be better for week's where you're struggling

[unique stream]

enjoyed? the stage 3 was painful

[jagged rapids]

I usually run randoms or host randoms but lfg can be great

Yes but I'm a masochist (and have like 2 years of exp. Seen most of it by now)

I live for hectic missions

[unique stream]

mactera + sabo

plus i was running pheromone

[jagged rapids]

Yes, my happy place

[unique stream]

guy who ran cyro nades left the game i think (big brain)

[jagged rapids]

C4 go Booom

[unique stream]

shredders would've been easier with stun sweeper

[jagged rapids]

Definitely

[unique stream]

i will only run 4 scout from now on but it isn't even a bad strat i've heard

only my first edd was normal

[hollow bridge]

i would really appreciate the help tho

[jagged rapids]

Tbh it's a game where ya should do whatever you want. There's no rules and the "meta" is whatever tbh.

4 scouts, hell ya

4 drillers, sure why not

Well obviously don't be a jerk I mean but like team composure

[jagged rapids]

Sadly we are on different platforms 🥲

Your profile says steam, I'm PS

[hollow bridge]

oof

[jagged rapids]

Yea 😭

[unique stream]

i thought it was hard and was flexing

before ofc

[jagged rapids]

Oh lol

Haven't finished my morning coffee yet 😅 juggling discord and slack rn too bc... Work is a thing I guess

[subtle tide]

Elite deep dive, haunted cave + dreadnoughts
Fighting hivemind and evading the bulk ghost
All team is down, I’m the last driller
Accidentally C4 myself when trying to blow up the goo sacks on the hiveminds’ sides
Alt+F4 out of embarrassment

[unique ore]

shoulda waited to see if anyone had iron wills

also why would you try to pop the hiveguards spots when everyone's down? you wouldnt be doing enough damage to kill it, and much higher risk of dying from its smash attack

[drifting tinsel]

if it makes you feel any better, i went down 17 times during the first stage of the EDD (was also driller) since i was designated ghost/bug bait

went down over thirty times during the EDD, but it was still fun despite being embarrassing

[valid ginkgo]

Fitting since your name is C4. xD But yeah, it happens, that's alright.

[valid ginkgo]

That's true, agreed. Although we don't know the circumstance and details. Maybe no ammo. Plus driller doesn't have good direct dmg overall. But in the end, he's just mostly sharing what happened. So yeah, didn't ask for advice.

I'd probably also leave if I got that embarrassed.

[stray lark]

anyone up for an EDD?

[violet mountain]

rly 30 downs? i some how did it on my first try solo which is Insane to me

[hardy night]

this is so real

I've C4'd myself and ended the mission right then and there a few times and I would've alt+f4'd too if I wasn't playing with my partner

[valid ginkgo]

Mhm, it happens. Do be like that.

[alpine arrow]

this was defs the most unfun edd ive had in a while

[hardy night]

upon further thinking I just remembered I actually C4d me AND him so yeah

[drifting tinsel]

it's about as unfortunate as it is true :')

[raw hornet]

hey i haven't gone DDing in a long time, if I complete the same deep dive twice, do I still get matrix cores every time?

[cinder citrus]

No you get 3 cores for one DD each week and another 3 if you do the edd

[raw hornet]

ok, but is EDD with randos easy enough? was thinking bout it for a while

[burnt mantle]

Hey im new to deeprock and my game keeps crashing can someone please help 🙏

[cinder citrus]

It really depends on what teammate you get.

[cinder citrus]

First off what you want to do is head on over to the https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/354250235419164682 tab and get a role. (so you can talk in other chats) then you should head to https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/258990272967475200 and ask your question there.

[subtle tide]

Knocked out by hivemind more than 5 times previously before initial self-explosion
It’s hard to explain the feeling I had when every time I got knocked out I had to type out “damn”

[subtle tide]

Not to kill, I’ve got +40% revive speed
All 3 were pretty much in the same place, and I had to deal with hivemind first, and keep track of bulk ghost
Thought staggering the hivemind would give me a second of breath to pull up at least one dwarf

[wraith shard]

Does the mission hazard level influence cargo crate / lost gear spawn rates? Or only the mission type and length?

[burnt sandal]

all of those have effects

check the wiki (wiki.gg) for details

[jagged rapids]

https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Cargo_Crate

[wraith shard]

Yeah I looked over it but couldn't find if hazards have an effect on it too, maybe I'm just blind
Thank you guys

[turbid dawn]

well no the haz lvl doesnt

[wraith shard]

Oh okay thank you :)

[jagged rapids]

Arzeda got ya but overall: the only thing hazard level affects for rewards is the multiplier at the end.

ANY Content (machine events, crates, etc ) in missions isn't affected by hazard. It only affects how hard the mission is and how the multiplier at the end

[granite bison]

i cant get premsion to drg chat

[cinder citrus]

Just read the https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/354250235419164682 tab and pick a role and you should be all good

[granite bison]

thx

nice pfp

[night shard]

I noticed cargo crate spawn more with max mission length and cave length not by hazard..I think?

[spiral badge]

Ooh man I gotta go divin’ tonite. Should’ve done it over the weekend

[tiny dagger]

correct

but it's also based on mission

it's all on its wiki page

alien 8 egg missions have the highest chance and most efficiency

btw get yourself a role from #welcome-and-rules if you want to talk in the discord

[tardy loom]

how do I check how many blank cores I have

[tiny dagger]

It will be shown in the space tig

top roght corner

next to credits

[night shard]

In DRG lore who made the events in game?(ex:omen tower). 1st dwarves at hoaxes?rivals?humans?

[tiny dagger]

DRG made omen tower

DRG also made cargo crates

drg lost gear is from idiots who died

[tardy loom]

thanks

[spiral badge]

Mini mules are from when they apparently had small personal Mollies for each miner

[wraith shard]

Hey there

Where can I verify as a member?

oh nvm

[celest charm]

(that idiot was me)

[high mango]

what is the EDD

[cinder citrus]

It's a harder version of a deep dive
A normal deep dive is hazard 3 to 3.5
A edd or elite deep dive is hazard 4.5 to 5.5

Also get yourself a role in the https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/354250235419164682 tab so you can chat elsewhere

[night shard]

Elite deep dive 3 missions on haz 5 up to 30-60 min playtime(depends) your nitra,hp and ammo carries through next mission. 3 different rewards. Changes everywhere.

[raven carbon]

Daily Marcy welcome channel announcement

[royal sandal]

this elite deep dive is hurting my soul

ghost bulk in combination with hiveguard makes me a sad boy

[shadow temple]

Yea this is just an incredibly frustrating experience as a solo player

[royal sandal]

ikr!

[shadow temple]

Multiple players is fine for obvious reasons; You've got someone to kite either boss.

When you're solo, these two move at roughly the same speed. The hiveguard moves a bit faster, but is cancelled out by the fact that it sometimes stops to fire a fireball barrage which allows the horror to catch up and cover its rear

Stupidly drawn out fight

😭

[royal sandal]

and its already kinda annoying to get behind a hiveguard anyways as a solo, but the horror makes it unfathomably worse

[shadow temple]

Yup. Thankfully I brought an engineer. Having hyper prop simply means I only have to land like 2 shots per phase

But I still took a really long time regardless

[royal sandal]

i would run hyper prop during the deep dive but im not sure how serviceable it would be for the next two stages. I guess I could run lok1 as my swarm clear but im pretty bad at making builds with it.

[cyan birch]

Would scout baiting work to get free damage to the dread?

Grapple through the ghost attackrange so it slams and damages the dread, you not getting hit in the process

[sly kettle]

Soon™

[grand pasture]

Deep dives are about to reset everyone!

Looks like polar opposites today, glacial strata DD, and magma core EDD

[shadow temple]

Yea, the horror is prone to friendly fire against its own kin

So if u have the time and patience, u could do that

But for it to be worthwhile, u need to make sure you are able to complete the stage with your default ammo

Because if u have to call down one supply drop, you're not doing yourself any favours at the end of the day as compared to fighting the dread like normal

[drifting tinsel]

[wispy hearth]

no more sabotage, finally peace in mind

[wispy hearth]

m8 sabo was on the last 4 deeps dives its time for a bit of change

[grand pasture]

ok

[drifting tinsel]

morkite was almost half of the objectives last week, just sayin :P

[grand pasture]

Heh, and that's undercutting it a bit, 5/6 missions had it

[wispy hearth]

our team downing a dark morkite before goin in:

[grand pasture]

Eh, dark morkite for deep dives is kinda overrated, like, you still have to do another objective anyway

[thorny gull]

Reminder that there was a deep dive that spawned exactly 150 morkite so you couldn't finish it without either dark morkite or mining absolutely every pixel of morkite on the map

[grand pasture]

Hot damn

[cyan birch]

Deep dive not for the faint of heart who don't eat the crust of their sandwiches

[still geode]

Dark morkite legit goated for edds with multiple morkite objectives

[drifting tinsel]

dark morkite is underrated, considering how common morkite is as a DD objective lol

[grand pasture]

Yeah but you're still gonna do another objective anyway

[eager atlas]

it's good if it's the main objective and the side objective is not in the last cave

otherwise I don't feel it saves enough time

[drifting tinsel]

but what if dark morkite is really, really tasty?

[still geode]

Ive noticed (e)dds often have much less extra morkite than regular morkite missions

Which makes the savings from dark morkite much larger

Cuz you dont have to search for the last bits

But in regular missions u dont have to search for the last morkite anyway

[eager atlas]

that's fair

[valid ginkgo]

Just did EDD. Pretty easy this week.

[wispy hearth]

surpise betc

at the end fucked us up

[hollow sorrel]

thank god there is no industrial sabotage in any of the deep dives

[patent elk]

Edd looks chill this week

[lofty bloom]

Is there any information - will there be female dwarves in Rogue Core?

Get yourself a role in the https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/354250235419164682 tab so you can talk in other chats

[grand pasture]

Heh, well I'd be surprised if it is, given it's in magma core

Wink

[drifting tinsel]

i was there i can confirm it was chill

had to bring extra sweaters and socks

(and dwarves)

Chill looking elite deep dive nice

[spiral badge]

Stage 2 DD is like almost identical to last week 🤣

[grand pasture]

There's always that one person, like the occasional guy wearing shorts in the winter

[cinder citrus]

An Irish staple puffer jackets in summer and shorts and a t-shirt in winter

Hahaha

If nobody's told you already today, you're valid Marcy :)

Currently in lobby for deep dive on playstation
(Bleak Luck Magma Core)

Anybody wanna help? 2 spots available

[sleek lodge]

Does anyone know how to get permission to write in #drg-chat and such? I can't write in most of the channels in the server for some reason

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules and pick roles

[sleek lodge]

Thanks

[regal mica]

Wow this week's deep dive was easy.... Of course my first deep dive gotta last week with mf shield disruptors

[broken stirrup]

Hello dear participants, forgive me that I may be writing to the wrong chat. I'm new on the server. I have a question: can all missions be played alone? Or are there exceptions?

[eager atlas]

all missions

[burnt sandal]

first off, read #welcome-and-rules and pick a few roles

secondly : yeah, this game can be fully enjoyed in solo 🙂

[broken stirrup]

Thank you. And it looks like goodbye. I'm just having a really hard time on this server. I don't know English at a conversational level. Good luck to you all!

[tiny dagger]

we have some servers that may be in your language in #fan-communities

[broken stirrup]

yes, that's true. Once again thank you all very much

[weak shell]

we have a scout and driller looking for 1 or 2 more people to help us through the elite deep dive, anyone on?

[tiny dagger]

#lfg-steam !!

[weak shell]

ah ty, my bad!

[little rose]

noob question what is dark morkite

[spiral badge]

A drink you can get at abyss that gives you a 25 or 30% increase on the morkite you pick up in a mission

[timber storm]

Spraders are still absolute cancer to good games and gameplay, two elite dives just went to shit at litteraly the last minute because thos shit septic spreaders spawn and are out of sight and goo everything to hell, gotta take a month break from this shit

[tiny dagger]

you must have a incredibly bad scout

[timber storm]

couldn't have read a more useless and toxic reply

[brisk idol]

Have any dds use lithophage outbreak?

[timber storm]

luckily not

[tiny dagger]

scout's job is literally hvts

he's supposed to find and kill the spreaders

so your team doesn't die

[timber storm]

https://tenor.com/view/its-leviosa-not-leviosar-hermione-granger-emma-watson-harry-potter-gif-18243387

[still geode]

Maybe haz5 isnt for you if you cant figure out how to stop your entire team standing on bright red acid

[timber storm]

apparently you dont even know deepdives and above haz 5

[tiny dagger]

blue level please

[still geode]

Ive played quite a bit of haz7x2

[shadow temple]

Didn't the November patch make the septic spreaders even easier to deal with since u can just....shoot down the globs?

They're still annoying ofc, but they should be much easier to deal with, no?

Also, engineer platforms, if placed high above, also act as a little umbrella for any septics located directly above behind a cliff

[tiny dagger]

yeah, and scouts are just spreader murderers

he can just zip up there and shotgun them in the face

[shadow temple]

Satisfaction seeing their health burn with every shot I do to their red gooey spots

[tiny dagger]

little fruit gushers

[shadow temple]

Honestly most feared enemy in haz 5 is the spitter

Half the time it's like they appear out of nowhere and get a free shot off you that deals some wicked dmg

Slow reaction, and it's 2 shots

[tiny dagger]

the spitter has killed me randomly so many times

like right when i'm resupplying

doesn't help when your scout didn't light up that area

[eager atlas]

just for the record, it's 44% more (20% twice)

[jagged rapids]

Ooooohhhhhhh, the EDD looks like a good day for some cryo driller 🤌🏿 seems pretty mellow but can't wait to see if I'm wrong 😈

[zenith ember]

Edd doesnt seem to have killer modifiers for once hmm

[odd owl]

is this weeks deep dive good for speedrunning ?

[final urchin]

I dont think so since you need to kill 2 dreadnoughts?

[patent elk]

Mostly yes. Escorts, Sabos, and salvage are usually the speedrun killers but salvage related ones aren't too bad

Though the guys in the speedrunning channel will prob have better input

[odd owl]

im tryna find tm8 to speedrun got no one 😦 im nae

[patent elk]

I'm in your region too but I do my DDs on weekends. If you don't find anyone by then I'll do it with you if you want.

[odd owl]

bet i added u on discord and u just let me know

[lofty frost]

Hi

What is this game

I just joined the discord but I’ve never heard of this game

What is it

[umbral plover]

It's a 4 person co-op shooter revolving around space dwarfs mining minerals, shooting bugs, and completing missions. Maybe ask around in #drg-chat and get a feel for it?

[jagged rapids]

You need to go into #welcome-and-rules to get a role to access the rest of the channels like #drg-chat

And this is my favorite silly overview of the game:
https://youtu.be/ZJvyhulnAlA

[spiral badge]

Imagine randomly joining a server for a game you’ve never heard of

[unique ore]

Ive seen it a lot in a different server, literally people asking "can someone buy me the game?"

[hearty geyser]

3 detonators and a Hiveguard on EDD2 is pretty rough

[turbid dawn]

time for a leadburster

[grand pasture]

Imagine if a haunted cave mission in DDs had the thing follow you into the next missions

[cosmic aurora]

💀

[eager atlas]

if they do that I want jetboots to remain through stages as well

[spiral badge]

With a big obvious hole going deeper into the planet it could certainly follow the pod if it wanted

[grand pasture]

Multiple haunted caves stack, 3 unknown horrors

[raven carbon]

This week was fairly easy

Compared to last week

And quick too

[cosmic aurora]

Then why wont you just call resupply to the 3rd stage and then scout grapple hook to the floor and then he revieves everyone

Would be easy

🧐

[raven carbon]

Distance is probably too much because you take a pod there

And by the time you finish the mission the ghost can't get there

[spiral badge]

I mean we can sorta estimate how fast the pod can dig based on when you hit the button on Molly and when it gets there, though part of that time is it flying through space

But the in between mission screen where it has the repeating graphic of the pod digging isn’t meant to be real traveling time

[raven carbon]

Yes that's basically a cutscene

[cosmic aurora]

But when arriving, you can see depth

[tawdry aurora]

can I talk about how dumb the "you cannot join a late dive" mechanic is when playing on a friends-only lobby or is it a topic for another channel?
Me and 2 friends we just got to the 2nd stage on the elite one, we got all the morkite, we started the black box event but my internet acted up and boop! bye bye all my progress, it doesn't matter if we're friends n stuff!

[cosmic aurora]

Then you could just join last stage dd and complete it

It was made so you have to complete dd entirely

[kindred coyote]

itd be nice if you could rejoin but eh

[tawdry aurora]

I understand, but even so... if it's a friends only lobby it's kinda dumb

[kindred coyote]

the point is so you cant get free overclocks

if you could join dives late you could just join during one then grab an overclock when they complete that stage then leave

and repeat

[tawdry aurora]

yeah it'd be kinda exploiteable, but... idk how to explain this lol
i'm not sure if there's a "invite only" lobby cuz I never host, but if that's the case then it'd be even dumber to disable rejoining

but yeah I understand that most of the times it avoids people just exploiting and farming easy overclocks

[kindred coyote]

friend lobby or not its easily exploitable

[tawdry aurora]

(tbh it would only ruin the exploiter's own experience and not the randoms cuz they'd get some help for the run while the exploiter gets a small rush of dopamine or whatever from "ooohohhhh shiny new OC!!!")

but ye, kinda sad, guess I'll redoit tomorrow somehow cuz it seems my friends are close to finishing it

[eager atlas]

you get rewards as you clear each stage though, not once the whole thing is done

from what I heard, you should be able to join if you lost connection, but I've seen people say they couldn't no idea how it works or if it's just buggy

[grand pasture]

That is true

[eager atlas]

you could just make it so you have to be in the stage since the begining for the reward to be applicable, something like that is easily fixable

[zealous ivy]

agree

[spiral badge]

I think you should only be able to join during stage 1. After that the single dwarven pods can’t go deep enough

And you’d have to give up getting a blank core probably

[thorny gyro]

damn, pretty manageable deep dives back to back weekly

rng is treating us gooood

[wraith sparrow]

hey guys

anyone wanna edd?

[normal shard]

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

[wraith sparrow]

oh i see

thx

[molten vessel]

I was doing fine on this week's Deep dive but for some godforsaken reason when I collected all the aquraqs on the last mission and booted up the black box I got swarmed like this shit was hazard 5, I could count at least 7 spreaders and 5 sting tails and an ocean of grunts and it just never ended which costed me the mission

[distant fable]

Unlucky punky dude

[onyx dirge]

I'm gonna EDD as gunner with lvl 13 scout lets gooo

[misty maple]

can some greybeards give me tips on how to do this week's edd, especially stage 3, as a scout? i want to be helpful for my team and i tried the edd yesterday but we failed on the last stage. i was by far the least experienced player and it felt bad dragging the team down

[hearty geyser]

aside from basic stuff, like getting nitra that's hard to get normally and putting flares, be sure to ping specific priority targets, such as breeders, spawners and spitters

it helps a lot to know where some of the worst enemies are as soon as possible

and if you are able to, get the lava spitters as soon as possible. Those will end the run by themselves if not kept in check

[sick vale]

I tried with some people today and there was an ELITE GRABBER

[misty maple]

got it, thank you very much. also by lava spitters do you mean the septic spreaders?

[sick vale]

IT WALL CLIPPED FROM WALLS MULTIPLE TIMES

[sick vale]

Same...

[sick vale]

I think it is

[hearty geyser]

ya, I always forget their correct name

[misty maple]

i've gotta work on memorizing the priority targets. generally i just shoot anything that flies or spits stuff

and then work on the grunts around me

[hearty geyser]

that's a good start, but you get the hang of it eventually

also, keep track of where the bulks are. Those are surprisingly sneaky even with all the noise and explosions

[hearty geyser]

YA, THAT ONE SUCKS A LOT

[misty maple]

ohh that reminds me of another thing i really need to improve! i have no idea what sound marks what enemy. i think ill look on youtube to see if there are any videos of just the enemies making noise so i can learn which is which

[tiny dagger]

well if you got to stage 3 you did your job

[hearty geyser]

this

[tiny dagger]

all you need to be doing is killing high value targets

[hearty geyser]

stage 2 is the hardest of this edd, imho

[sick vale]

CTRL + Left click always make dwarfs talk

Also why i can't talk in most of the channels?

[hearty geyser]

go to the #welcome-and-rules channel and grab your roles

[sick vale]

I did it on my PC and forgot to do in this account...

Thank you

[frank viper]

positioning imo, when i play scout i tend to have to limit myself from grappling around non stop, sometimes its good to position yourself well and just use grapple to get away, instead of using grapple to get around. Less time in air = more time shooting high value targets

[eager atlas]

Point extraction is unlike other missions, it actually gets harder with time, there's more stuff spawning, this on top of the spawns from the blackbox itself was probably the issue, I recommend doing the black box as early as possible when PE spawns are still low

[drifting tinsel]

^ adding onto this, it's best that you spend no more than fifteen minutes on any point extraction mission. after that mark, it's just endless swarms and it'll be hard for you to catch a break

[buoyant wing]

yeah black box should be done after the first swarm on PE ideally that way you don't get swarmed on top of the defense swarm

trying before that I found it inconsistent between the bugs and trying to grasp the map layout

if you get swarmed during aquarqs you just keep moving and killing, can't do that as well on the black box

[spiral badge]

Gotta black box first if possible. If I’m solo, I usually dig a hole to hide in. As engie you’ll have turrets up and you can throw shredders (try to cover your hole with cheese, though some things can dig it up). As gunner you can shield when the bugs start piling into your hole

[hushed sequoia]

the last stage uplink is extremely awful

driller terraforming should help quite a bit, but if you're clearing stationary enemies/helping with mules you're doing good

[kindred snow]

The BETC at the beginning of this week's elite deep dive jfc

[jolly wing]

Wait there was a Betc?

[kindred snow]

There was on my first run of it

[wispy hearth]

1 spawned on the final stage of my edd
it aggroed when we were in the refueling process and wiped all of us with 1 bomb

[kindred snow]

RIP

[potent mortar]

my acsess to most channels has been removed for some reason, so this is a bug report. me an another dude found a glitch that allows for the aquisition of over 200,000 magnite, and umanite in a singe mission. the bug was extremely inconsistent, but basically what would happen is that depositing into molly would just stop functioning properly, and stop draining resources from your inventory. this is the more tame version of hte bug, and got us several thousand gold in one mission. what happened later, is i picked up a full bag of gold, and the game freaked out, giving the team stores 50K gold, and nitra on the spot. it also had my gold and nitra values in my inventory bug out, and rapidly increase into hte thousands. the next game, the same thing happened, but with magnite and umanite as well, with my inventory stores also bugging instantly to 50K. i dont know what caused this. it was multiplayer, on various maps, mission types and difficulties. this also leveld up 2 players that were in the loby to 25, from i think it was 8, and 6. i would assume this is the xp of collecting over 50K gold, but i am not sure. either way, this is a glitch capible of giving functionaly unlimited of any resource, and maxing out a player level with a single mission. this is absolutely insane. i hope the devs find a fix for this quicky, and no i have no recording of the event.

[bitter stump]

cheats prob
And get roles in welcome

[potent mortar]

no mods, no cheats unless the host knew something i didint

[next pebble]

Yeah, no. Everything you described is textbook cheater symptoms.

[potent mortar]

it was inconsistent tho

for me and him

and before that the depositing was bugged so that it just locked all our mineral values at 80, but our inventorys, and team inventorys

[tiny gorge]

I usually play haz 4, and do deep dives easily

I wanna start doing edds, any tips for the step up?

[twin oriole]

venting: I hopped into pub edd tonight with a bunch of green beards and the host decided to assign us all jobs on voice and tasked my eng with repairing dotty. ok whatev. but then host proceeded to straight command me to repair dotty whenever she was the tiniest but damaged no matter what I was doing. eventually it got hella old and I left

very un rock and stone imo

[eager atlas]

playing haz 5 is the closest

the main thing is what happens from haz to haz, bugs are faster and do more damage, so you have to be paying more attention and should avoid taking chip damage

positioning is very important, so don't go into bad terrain unless you have the means to escape, always try to fight on ground that's benefitial to you

[valid ginkgo]

Yeah, no. Engi maintains sentry/sentries, they need to be fed at all times during the defense specially on haz 5 or you'll get overwhelmed ime. You also have an option to roof if there's a lack of supply and that takes time too. Apart from having a good clear for swarms. Engi has by far the least down time during defense on haz 5.

I'd say the most down time would either be Scout or Driller(specifically for stage 2) for repairs. Scout can repair in between killing priorities. Driller also has the option to repair during stage 2 since doesn't have much direct damage generally for the rocks.

Altho since it was EDD, first stage, it was haz 4.5 but generally same idea.

[bitter stump]

Engi should be the last one repairing during the rock stage since they usually end up using a platform roof to protect dotty from the rocks

[valid ginkgo]

Definitely cheater symptoms. Not a bug. Just restore your save. Options>Save Menu>Restore Save
If there are random people you don't know in the lobby, then they're probably it.

Also, go ahead and read #welcome-and-rules and get your role back. They sometimes get taken off.

[valid ginkgo]

Yeap, as I said, roofing. It takes time to do that.

I usually don't roof when there's no need though.

[wraith shard]

what did you guys think of the EDD?

I thought it was a bit difficult, took me a few tries

especially that third stage with the elite threat

[frank viper]

The randoms i played with also said it took them a few tries to complete. But somehow i just aced it with the randoms first try

Personally i did the unthinkable, focus elite threats the second they spawn

[young palm]

Hello there, new to the discord and game, does anyone know how i get access to the lfg channel to be able to post msgs in there?, the only channel i can talk is in here 😅

I see now, thanks haha!

[violet mountain]

edds today are pretty good

[wispy hearth]

bet-c aggroing when my team was on the refueling phase and promptly one shotted my entire team with 1 bomb because we were packed together:

[wispy hearth]

i think its rng'

first edd a betc spawned in stage 3 for me

2nd edd none spawned

[jolly wing]

Darn.

Never saw a betc of this week's run

[wispy hearth]

i told my team to take care of it first

they didnt listen

and here we are in the medical bay drinking blackout stouts

[jolly wing]

I had a funny escort mission where there was a betc

It activated because it was close proximity with the drilldozer and us.
The charge suckers decided that the circuits aint shit and just waltzed in towards the drilldozer'd path

[wispy hearth]

imagine of charge suckers could infect dorreta

[jolly wing]

Shoudnt be a problem tbh

Doretta is slow af

Not to mention she eats fuel like beer in oktoberfest

Oh. And no ranged attacks

[wispy hearth]

so the cs wont have anything to consume when trying to infect dorreta

[jolly wing]

Appears to be so

[raven carbon]

Fairly easy compared to the last few

Parasites and Elite threat are relatively easier to deal with

[formal lintel]

how do i get permission to other channels?

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules and pick roles

[formal lintel]

ah

ty

[spiral badge]

Your clones who have the memories of your past dwarf are drinking blackout you mean

[hybrid ridge]

tbh elite threat makes things easier if you run pheromone bolts on scout. they are the absolute best.

[ornate moon]

anyone that has beaten the elit deep dive

the new one

[keen cedar]

Yeah did it yesterday

[frank viper]

yuh

[mortal night]

Has anyone done the elite on Xbox

[lean flint]

Yes

Took 1 hour for me on solo

[mortal night]

Would you be willing to do it in about 2 hours let’s say

[lean flint]

Currently

No

Later

Possibly

It is past midnight for me

[mortal night]

Oh ok yeah it’s only 7pm where I am

[spiral badge]

I probably would be

Gamertag is exactly like name here

[mortal night]

Ok I’ll add you after this mission

[burnt sandal]

No.

[mortal night]

I was gonna say that’s not aloud

[tiny dagger]

@burnt sandal where do you keep finding these banned people !!

you've already recovered your "name"

[jolly wing]

Lmao what i miss?

[cinder citrus]

Ser hagaze is recovering his name with the death of his enemies

[jolly wing]

What. He dishonored himself by drinking leaf lover's special?

[cinder citrus]

What no it just got lost

[fathom coral]

Holy crap, man. Randos are not cutting it for this EDD.

[eager atlas]

not all randos are made the same

[fathom coral]

One run was just completely unlucky, had 3 Bulks back to back, haha.

This by far is the funniest EDD I've ever done.

[hearty geyser]

stage 2? game hit me with two Bulks, then a Hiveguard, then another Bulk. It was horrible lmao

[fathom coral]

Ye, Stage 2, shit has interesting stuff going on, lol

[hearty geyser]

the elite mactera grabbers on EDD3 would be really funny, if they weren't uterlly terrifying flying fast like that

I swear, I felt like I was in a horror movie. I heard the scream, then my teammate just vanished

[fathom coral]

I don't mind the speed that much, it is the wall phasing that worries me, had a couple deaths because of that.

[hearty geyser]

the what now

[fathom coral]

They can go thru walls sometimes.

Just completed the EDD, very competent randos, neat.

[hearty geyser]

noice

[bitter stump]

They're fast enough to where they occasionally pathfind to the other side of a piece of terrain and fly straight through it because why not

[patent elk]

Oh they still do that?

I thought they got speed nerfed to prevent it from happening

[sterile iris]

no, happened to me too

I checked here cuz I got yanked by a grabber through terrain

[cunning grove]

yeah, i believe the stingtail grab pathfinding issue wasnt sorted in the giga nerfs it got, if it can see you when it starts its grab it seems to be that the grab will hit if you dont juke it at the grab launch timing even through terrain

ive been grabbed by a tiny hole visibilty in terrain and slammed onto a wall and wondered why i was flying

stails are only really usefull when ur hold a quarq and get yoinked to the minehead for free

Funny EDD

[slate lodge]

Guys are regular deep dives hard? Do they require any kind of preparation?

[eager atlas]

If you can do haz 3 or 4, regular deep dives should be fine for you
No particularly specific preparation

there's a pinned message in this channel that gives you the basic explanation about them

[hardy night]

Stage 3 on elite this week wrecked me first try

The big room is pretty funky and there's so much bugs and big guys in there

Not to mention the elites

I went scout mode and grappled right in to kill a brood nexus with my cryo only to be swarmed, die, and then my partner die trying to save me

[slate lodge]

is this week's EDD hard?

[eager atlas]

Did it first try with a friend, gunner-engineer duo, first level is straight-forward, being a dozer and all, second was surprisingly fast, lots of morkite in the tunnels, third was a bit rough when entering the drop pod cave, but we had so much nitra that we just used the things for healing and I was spamming proxy mines at some point

we did burn through one iron will on the last level because we potato'd but it wasn't as bad as I thought elite threat 5.5 was gonna be

[wraith shard]

it was pretty rough for me, took 2 tries

[stone crystal]

I finished it with Randoms and a one friend so.. It's quite nice and very hard on my part, since I always go down first lol

[dense pebble]

Elite threat on a stationary objective like the uplink can go south extremely fast

An elite praetorian rocks up when you aren’t ready and its game over

[tulip bear]

Was able to solo the first two stages of the EDD and snuck away with the extra overclock this week, but got destroyed in the third stage during the power cell fight

Mission control thought it would be mega hilarious if they put the power cell up on the very edge of the high ridge next to the drop pod

Also elite grabbers are the stuff of nightmares

[gleaming blaze]

elite slasher on its way to end my run at an accelerated rate
🌬️

[tiny dagger]

It's alright

not really hard

[wraith shard]

I played gunner so I was the one looking after everyone who got downed haha

I read the rules how do I grab a role

oh I clicked on the steam role now I can chat, thanks'

[silent prism]

Question, Does Randowizer in Deep Dives change for each stage or for the entire 3 stages?

[unique ore]

entire DD

[buoyant glade]

i honestly think the worst thing in this game right now is salvage

there is no other gamemode i have to tryhard more on haz 5 for its so stupid and unbalanced

i hope they adress it in any way before they stop doing DRG development instead of leaving the gamemode the exact same way it was during 1.0

[patent elk]

Tbh I have a polar opposite opinion on it. Salvage and PE are my favorites while eggs and IS are the ones I detest.

Having a good gunner and engi that can wave clear while driller opens up your terrain for more line of sight goes a long way

[bitter stump]

Salvage is fine tbh

[thorny sierra]

Why can I only talk in here? Can someone help me

Nvm

[ashen veldt]

How are the DD's this week?

[gleaming blaze]

regular dd is pretty straightforward, haven't done the elite yet

[eager atlas]

I like salvage, but I mostly play engineer and actually use repellent so only bugs from the front
The mode that bothers me most is PE because no other mode has the same type of difficulty/time scaling, other missions can easily be done as slow as possible with the only limit being the amount of nitra in the map, but PE just goes crazy after a while

[wraith shard]

Bing bong

[wraith shard]

EDD is a bit tough, DD is easy

[ashen veldt]

just finished, it was pretty smooth

definitely hectic in the third, a little bit in the second if you're not careful

[frank viper]

Im in the same boat, it confuses me why everyone decided to hate salvage

[valid ginkgo]

Salvage is one of my favorites, specially as an Engineer. Altering pathing and all. If you're having a hard time on it, you just haven't done enough prep, I guess. And just for info, I play haz 5 as well.

[shadow temple]

Salvage fine until the bulk detonator spawns right next to you

[jolly wing]

And thats where you immediately pop gunner shield and leadburster as soon as possible

No gunner however, you had a good run

[buoyant glade]

salvage feels very spawn dependent

it feels like it’s either a breeze or the game just spawns the worst specials ever and it’s a complete shit show, the game does not feel made to restrict your movement so much

when the game spawns specials that either push you around or cause area denial it feels like i need to min max my build+ be the correct class + prep my entire area and it feels like way too much and i’ve never had issues with any other game mode beside the occasional escort

the only thing i have a problem with is restricted movement and how salvage is disproportionately effected by spawns, i think there’s a reason so many people used to bunker before oppressors were added

i don’t think it’s totally impossible but i don’t think it has any business being twice as hard as any other game mode but only at the very end so it’s more upsetting when you fail

[slate lodge]

any tips for this week's EDD? When i first tried my team got stomped on 1st evac

[still geode]

Imo salvage is fine but it punishes gunner not using shields more than other missions, and most gunners in pubs are either too stingy with using shields or wont resupply to restock shields if they still have minigun ammo

Number one cause of losing salvage during uplink or fuel cell stage in pubs for me is gunner either not using their shields or running out of shields

Or gunner not being able to shield cuz they died (which is often due to them not resupplying despite being critically low on health because they still have minigun ammo)

[slate lodge]

should i prioritize crowd control over single target dmg in this week's EDD? ( as a gunner)

[lime meteor]

prioritize not dieing

[long matrix]

or wont resupply to restock shields if they still have minigun ammo
yep

Which is exactly why I switched off using ammo mod

[wraith shard]

why would you want to focus on single target damage as a gunner?

that's like going for crowd control as a scout

although i use bouncy bullets so i'm not one to talk

but yes i would focus on crowd control

[slate lodge]

so things like big bertha aren't supposed to make sense?

[wraith shard]

big bertha's good

[slate lodge]

i am kinda new to the game

what's gunner's actual purpose?

ok i should move to drg chat

[burnt sandal]

you"re better off asking this #drg-chat
but gunner's job overall is to protect the team

[wraith shard]

i personally prefer splintering shells as it's more ammo efficient than big bertha

yeah what the above said

as gunner you should be the one keeping everyone up on their feet

[slate lodge]

lets just move to #drg-chat

[limber heath]

How tough is EDD this week?

Just so i know before going in

[misty maple]

pretty similar to last week's imo, just a little bit harder

[eager atlas]

some opinions if you scroll up a few messages, nothing to bad, but last level may or may not be an issue for you

[sweet nebula]

Is the sludge pump even worth unlocking? The cryo gun just feels insanely good to use

[cinder citrus]

You never know you might grow to love it.

I would also suggest getting a role in the https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/354250235419164682 tab so you can ask that in https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/257785731072786435

[sweet nebula]

Oh fair

My b

[grand wagon]

Jaa

[cinder citrus]

?

[eager atlas]

I love the sludge and it's the best driller primary for single target damage
all driller primaries do crowd control but they all do it different enough that none feel bad to use

[unkempt brook]

Guys, I am also interested to make voice overs for this game, did anybody try it here? I have team of people.

[turbid dawn]

wrong chat

go to #welcome-and-rules get a role then chat in #drg-chat

[old widget]

(or #modded-drg-chat, or join the DRG modding discord)

[unkempt brook]

i thought this is about translations, voice overs are part of it? but i will try another chats.

[old widget]

ah, for translating to other languages you want #babelfish-lounge

[grand wagon]

Oh i was wondering why i could chat here but not in general

[burnt sandal]

you're still in the same wrong channel.

[unkempt brook]

i was taping on other ones...damn, it takes me here always

[random rampart]

because you have no roles. read #welcome-and-rules and get a role

[turbid dawn]

Lord @burnt sandal could you pls pin this to #deep-dive-speedrunning as well, for convenience and old times sake?

[burnt sandal]

if they post it there, I can

[drifting tinsel]

give me ten seconds

done

[turbid dawn]

@drifting tinsel could you also post this in #deep-dive-speedrunning for us runners too, so that we may have it pinned there as well?

[turbid dawn]

ahh i love you

Ty Lord Pounce, that is the name i remember you with!

[burnt sandal]

don't worry, i'll be Pounce again, eventually

[tiny dagger]

he just needs to ban someone that has the letter p

[turbid dawn]

i dont know what the context is or want to know, i accept all name choices

[cunning summit]

i just unlocked deep dives

what are these

why let me do this solo if the game's gonna be like this? this is actually fucking impossible.

[cinder citrus]

The black box can fail and it won't end the mission you just need to start it up again

[fervent heart]

... it has. about 10 times now.

so what do I do, start it, stay in the pebble-sized sphere for all of the 2 seconds I'm allowed to be physically inside, give the glyphids the run around and inch along bit by bit til it's done?

I'll just restart and get people on a team because this is actual bullshit. i've already used up 4 revives because the room the black box is in is fuck-you size and every enemy can swarm in infinitely from everywhere.

[cinder citrus]

I would suggest if you can't get a team for a second run to do the black box first thing in stage 3 as in a point extraction it gets exponentially harder the longer it goes on

[fervent heart]

I've taken longer than this to do a retrieval mission and I've never had anything like this happen, ever. the game just randomly up and decided to be a cunt

[cinder citrus]

Longer to do a regular point extraction or one with a black box side objective?

[fervent heart]

think it might be my first time doing a black box objective actually

this might just put me off doing this forever. this sucked, wasn't fun, and I felt cheated out of a reward.

the funniest bit is part a certain point in the mission I couldn't even sprint. like what? lmfaooo

[cinder citrus]

Yeah the pairing of point extraction and a black box mission always sucks because of how point extractions spawns work

[fervent heart]

I'll keep that in mind for next time. wished I could share images cuz then I'd be able to show the clusterfuck the map became not 20 minutes into it

just outright spam like the game had an aneurysm

[bitter stump]

Haz 5.5 point extracts become a meme after 15 mins

[cinder citrus]

I hope the next time treats you well.

[eager atlas]

last EDD level is salvage so this is the normal dive

[fervent heart]

I'll remember to do the black box objective first next time then. thanks for the tip and sorry about venting.

at least I got a matrix core out of it ig

[eager atlas]

last week also had PE blackbox in the normal dive, you really want to get it done ASAP, PE is awful solo if you take too long

[fervent heart]

yeah I had the gut feeling I had fucked up somewhere and it was probably that I wasted time collecting the aquarqs first

[cinder citrus]

No worries everyone needs to vent some steam every now and then

[fervent heart]

to the game's credit the whole thing was challenging but fair and I was having fun. it was only in stage 3 that I got the 'okay maybe this was a mistake' feeling wash over me lol

[open path]

Hi

[cinder citrus]

read the https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/354250235419164682 tab and pick a role and you'll be able to talk in other channels

[open path]

Thank you

[fervent heart]

wished there was a way to pick up where you leave off. knowing I'm gonna have to do stages 1 and 2 before 3 sucks :p

[cinder citrus]

Now you can speedrun them though

[fervent heart]

I can speedrun normal assignments w scout p much already lol

[sudden cipher]

For this week's dd should i go as gunner or driller?

actually i just rechecked the pin, hiveguard+twins im def going as gunner

[frank viper]

Always pick driller

[sudden cipher]

how do you expect me to kill the dreadnaughts as driller 😭

[bitter stump]

Cryo
Vim
Sludge blast

[eager atlas]

VIM sludge is so nice

[bitter stump]

Axes

[eager atlas]

reload subata does a ton of damage once they're open

[fervent heart]

I still haven't had a single reason to switch from scout

[eager atlas]

proper crowd control is a big one, but playing the other 75% of the game is a better one

[sudden cipher]

imagine if you will... a timeline where i had those OCs 😔

[eager atlas]

Vanilla sludge is good.enough for dreadnoughts honestly

[sudden cipher]

also which beer should i drink for this?

dark morkite or the health one

[cosmic aurora]

I think health is better

You can survive more

[slate lodge]

i just failed EDD's final phase

its a real hellhole

we just digged into the cave and there was a breeder, elite praetorian and bunch of regular ones covered by syptic spreaders

then a swarm came in

[silk scarab]

Y'ALL y'all guess what

[slate lodge]

and we died

[slate lodge]

what

[silk scarab]

chicken butt

[slate lodge]

10/10 comedy

[still geode]

Shoot em

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules and pick roles

[tiny portal]

VIM sludge pump is one of the best dread killers in the game, just spam single shots on dreads with the extra single shot dmg mod

Also cryo cannon can give your teammates a huge burst of dmg if u coordinate it well with them

Flame is ass for dreads yes

[sudden cipher]

I do not have that OC, also I'm playing this weeks DD solo with bosco

[tiny portal]

Regular sludge also good for dreads

But yea for this week I would just go scout solo

Like most weeks

The movement when you're solo is just so nice

[sudden cipher]

I think i have the OC where its dispersal?

the one that gives more fragments and dmg to frags on the sludge

that or im going OC-less sludge pump

[burnt sandal]

[molten vessel]

Is Bet-C garunteed in deep dives?

[next pebble]

No

[cinder citrus]

If she is included in that weeks deep dive seed, yes. on repeated play throughs she is guaranteed to spawn.

[cinder citrus]

<@&296918282403840000>

In every chat I think

[hidden venture]

that was weird

[cinder citrus]

Yeah

Had Roblox playing for 2 hours on their profile 🤨

[hidden venture]

i got the ping, i go to my inbox to zoom to most recent ping but i see the ping deleted from my inbox when i do so i figure a mod already got to it but then i get here and i SEE mod chat but the thing is still here too

discord is messy when it comes to pings in my inbox u.U

RoBlox mo like.. Red Flag amirite

[cinder citrus]

The rhyme scheme is off the charts

[hidden venture]

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-dbz-rap-homer-simpsons-gif-17469967

[sudden cipher]

Y;know I might actually go gunner for edd too

escort might be get a bit rough

but stage2 black box and stage 3 uplink is prime gunner stuff

[tiny portal]

That one is fine to use too, it does not affect single shot dmg and gives a nice boost to the charge shot area for normal grunts

[sudden cipher]

Yeah uh

I did dd as gunner

Going for the edd next

Hopefully these blank cores will give me VIM cuz I really want to try it out after you hyping it up

[misty maple]

uu i just had such an embarrassing edd
last time i tried it we were doing fine the first two stages, then failed the last one. i tried again today and kept dying and was really just dragging the team down. we failed on the first stage at the end and i left out of embarrassment

[open canopy]

Looking for a team to help me get my first edd completed. I’ve been trying with randoms and unfortunately keep dying on the last mission

[turbid dawn]

haz 5 requires you to have more than 30 health at any point to prevent being one shot by anything

if you go down once and are revived try to get your health back up with sugar or vampire

[open canopy]

have one very experienced player along for the ride with me. Looking for two more for this EDD.

[tiny dagger]

I'll see if I have the time later

[misty maple]

Got it, thank you. I haven't been running vampire so maybe I'll switch something out in favor of it

[eager atlas]

As a note, there are no (announced) swarms in salvage, only random spawns every now and then, if you had an actual swarm that means someone mined the egg, which is probably not a good idea to do before you clear the room

[misty maple]

what's a good perk loadout for scout for this edd? my current is deep pockets, sweet tooth, born ready, field medic, and iron will

[tiny dagger]

no resupplier

that's why you're dying !!

[craggy violet]

Why can I only type in a few of these channels

[misty maple]

Ahh okay, should I sub out sweet tooth for that?

Also I feel so bad for my teammates. I tried to do the edd again ~40 minutes ago and my mom made me stop playing T_T my dad said I could play but I guess he didn't tell my mom lol

I swear I'm gonna get a reputation for leaving deep dives early if this happens again..

[tiny dagger]

I was joking

[misty maple]

Oops, sorry

Hard to tell over text

[tiny dagger]

You didn't have a role from welcome

but now you do

I can help with the edd if you want

[craggy violet]

Thank you

[wraith shard]

how do I get this "role from welcome"

I would also like to type in multiple channels

[tiny dagger]

Read the rules then click on the reaction role

[wraith shard]

oh

so you get it from welcome

I probably should have figured that

thanks

[open canopy]

@tiny dagger all good we were able to get it done

[tiny dagger]

mk

[misty maple]

So is my perk loadout okay?

[tiny dagger]

It's alright

This is the truth, i mean no offense, but this is just a skill issue

[misty maple]

Yeah that's what I expected

I'm still pretty new

Well

Idk if I am (level 65) but I still feel new

[wraith shard]

I am a moron

what exactly is the reaction role

I have been scouring the rules for at least 5 minutes now

[tiny dagger]

Ser pounce can you send a screenshot

[burnt sandal]

there's a whole sub section in #welcome-and-rules called "ROLE"

[wraith shard]

right

[tiny dagger]

do you see the steam xbox and ps reactions

just click on any

[wraith shard]

so like driller or scout or engi right?

[tiny dagger]

Ya

[wraith shard]

I did

[tiny dagger]

any

[wraith shard]

nothing happened

[tiny dagger]

give it a minute

bot is slow

there you go

[wraith shard]

oh

[burnt sandal]

here, gave you a role

[wraith shard]

somethinng happened

thanks!

[misty maple]

Do you guys have any tips specifically for stage 3 of the edd? I was fine with the first two but failed on the third

[burnt sandal]

seems like the bot's broken again 🙄

[burnt sandal]

what got you, specifically ?

[eager atlas]

you're scout right? are you using your grenades?

[misty maple]

I don't know exactly when to use them, so I typically don't. I've got the ifg equipped

[misty maple]

I don't even remember, this was last thursday

It was midway through the stage I think

[burnt sandal]

did you die before getting to the defence part ?

[misty maple]

I don't think so?

I'm trying to remember but it was kind of a blur, one of our players left in stage 2 so we were all stressing

[burnt sandal]

My guess is you probably kitted enemies into other mini-mules, making a big ass wave who finally got you killed

[misty maple]

Ahh

That makes sense

[burnt sandal]

so you'll want to avoid that, first of all.

Walking near a mini-mules trigger a wave. Digging up legs can also possibly trigger a wave. Those wave are delayed by about a minute so it usually spawn when you don't expect it.

[grave robin]

both those wave triggers are delayed?

[burnt sandal]

My advice is to trigger those and deal with them one by one. Be mindful of where you're going when kitting and avoid getting near the other mini-mules as much as possible.

[burnt sandal]

yeah

[grave robin]

huh, didn't know that

[misty maple]

That's very interesting, thanks so much!

[eager atlas]

Scout's grenades are all really good

• IFGs will slow down things, "electrify" them (no damage, but things that get bonus damage from hitting electrified enemies work) AND will make everything take 30% more damage from all sources, it's best on choke points but you can use it anywhere
• Cryo will freeze most enemies in the game, even praetorians, though oppresors won't care much about them, frozen enemies take 3x damage but lose weakpoints, still you can usually freeze everything and get rid of it pretty quickly
• Pheromones will make the bugs hit each other, if you throw it in a big group it will usually make every bug not care about dwarfs for a bit, if you throw it on oppresors they will usually kill most grunts in the group too
• Boomerangs hit things, they are ok

[misty maple]

Got it, those all sound really good

I mean except the boomerangs lol

[eager atlas]

Boomerangs aren't bad tbf, but they only hit 9 bugs, so in elite dives where there's more bugs than you can count they are usually underwhelming

they do stun, and have a lot of range so they can be good for some specific use cases

Just keep in mind, it's better to use a grenade and not get that much mileage out of it than never use it and not get anything out of it

all of scout grenades can buy you time against a swarm

[spiral badge]

I’ve been liking pheromones lately

[fervent heart]

tried the deep dive again, got to stage 3, did black box first.

still died.

as soon as I spawned in the stage everything started coming at me from the walls, opened the black box and the bar was at 50%. that's when I understood 'oh okay so I don't get to start from scratch, the game wants me to die again'.

genuinely fuck this game, dude.

[spiral badge]

I do the black box first and then was out collecting aquarks with no revives left and got a swarm

[fervent heart]

I need someone to help out. I can't do this on my own. it's actually impossible lol

I took a fucking revive cuz the supply pod landed on my ass as I was setting up the box. stupid fuck

[long matrix]

what's the point of calling resupply at the start instead of the end of a stage? like why do people get so bothered about that

[fervent heart]

... what?

[eager atlas]

If someone doesn't need the ammo right at the end of a level, then using it wastes some bit of ammo, if it's called at the begining, they can still save it for later

[eager atlas]

which region are you on, if you're in NA I can help you

[long matrix]

ok yeah but realistically i'm not going to walk all the way to the opposite side of the cave for the odd lingering resup

just gonna run straight to the pod

[eager atlas]

yeah it depends a bit on the next mission too

[bitter stump]

Anything cryo doesn't freeze in one gets to freeze in 2 (unless you're trying to freeze the caretaker during its eye phase for some reason)

[long matrix]

still need help? guessing this is for regular dive

pretty much any AoE will do the job well

oh yea na just checked status you good ig

[fervent heart]

ye just got done, this was FAR easier with someone else and i just happened to get 3 other folks who were cool

we gonna do EDD now

[tiny dagger]

Wait that was the dd?

sometimes i forget people actually struggle at haz 3.5

[misty maple]

I think everyone does at some point no?

[zenith ember]

Yeah, probably easier for experienced fps veterans

[lunar terrace]

when do we see new dives?

few hours?

[unique ore]

its in the pins

[cunning summit]

is the deep dive this week the same for everyone?

[eager atlas]

yes, dives are the same

though there's stuff that's random

[cunning summit]

should i bring the crisper over the cryo cannon then

gonna go solo

[turbid dawn]

the "random" spawns are when someone goes within 5m of a mule

[turbid dawn]

yes sometimes upto a minute

[vital perch]

just joined the discord - how come I can't post in #drg-chat ?

[turbid dawn]

if solo, phermones are a great way for scout to survive, if in team cryo is great to freeze for team dps or to revive someone quickly

[sudden cipher]

Get a role in #welcome-and-rules

[turbid dawn]

get a role in #welcome-and-rules

[sudden cipher]

Dd or edd?

[vital perch]

ty gamers

[eager atlas]

There are still ambient spawns every now and then though, aside of mule stuff

[spiral badge]

<t:1701950400:R>

[sudden cipher]

welp i guess thats my que to go and play edd

[maiden pendant]

are we still on the ice dd?

[sudden cipher]

yeah

[maiden pendant]

F

[sudden cipher]

hasnt changed to a new one yet

[maiden pendant]

fun dive

i'm just getting back into the game and i was so grateful that it was as easy as it was 😅

[sudden cipher]

im doing the elite one, the one where you go to hell

[maiden pendant]

gl lol

[sudden cipher]

ty

[maiden pendant]

that sounds almost as bad as uh

red vine place

the one that makes the most complicated vertical caves with all the leeches

if the fire biome is hell, the twisted vine biome is the lowest level of it

[sudden cipher]

uhhh hollow bough i think is the name

[maiden pendant]

yeah that's the one

[sudden cipher]

i usually call that place "the goo sack one"

[maiden pendant]

fuk hollow bough, all my homies hate hollow bough

fair lol

[bitter stump]

Hollow has the most jank caves
But I still hate azure wield the most because massive caves that hide materials and are naturally dark suck

[maiden pendant]

azure weald is so pretty tho

wield? idek

[eager atlas]

at least hell doesn't blind you and freeze you while the ground shakes

[sudden cipher]

Edd stage 1 done

stage 2 black box defense 💀

not doing great on nitra just 18 units

[maiden pendant]

black box defense on deep dives is hell
