[compact otter]

Why are you not zipgunning

[tacit iris]

Wait what’s this discussion

[sonic wing]

The discussion is final destination fox only no items 3 stock 5 minutes

[rancid cedar]

because you get pressured off of it? One of the benefits of zips is the increased downward movement that basically serves as a free dash

[sonic wing]

To get context your gonna have to go back quite a bit

[chilly shore]

tldr is zip gunning fine? yes no yes no yes no etc

[compact otter]

Seems like zipgunning is flawed

[compact otter]

Down where the enemy is?

My main point is that it is a bad startegy because you make yourself vunerable to ranged attacks while you handicap your teammates

[rancid cedar]

No it’s just a decent strategy compared to bunkering which is op

[rancid cedar]

you aren’t handicapping teammates by drawing hvt aggro. The only teammate that (typically) wants as much aggro as possbile from fodder is driller

[grand pasture]

Slightly more vulnerable to ranged attacks, basically immune to ground attacks which is 90% of them, draw attention from teammates while not being in harms way, better angle for area of effect weapons

[chilly shore]

gRuNtS aRe ThE mOsT dAnGeRoUs EnEmY iN tHe GaMe

[grand pasture]

Nobody said that

[chilly shore]

have you been introduced to the legendary reddit

[zenith sand]

You got to add that mactera will actually focus first anyone that is on a zipline. So you better bet fast with those shots

Thats the reason why I don't zip gun

I think its too much of a liability with a class that already has too many ways to control crowds

[chilly shore]

I agree with abject that drawing ranged aggro takes a lot more pressure off your team than drawing melee aggro

[zenith sand]

You get focused by a trijaw in the highest point = isntadie and you need to be picked up

[grand pasture]

Not much of a problem unless there's a group of them

[zenith sand]

When you could have jsut hurricaned or just primary them

[grand pasture]

Mactera is focused on you, but now you can focus on it

[zenith sand]

I think its jsut too much problem for what is worth

[grand pasture]

If you get knocked off, just grab the zipline immediately again

[rancid cedar]

why can’t you do that on the zip

[zenith sand]

Because you will be falling to your death more often lmao, if the whole point of zip gunning is to avoid enemies, why jsut don't kill them or make the space yourself?

Instea dof putting yourself in a risky position

You have a shield that pushes enemies back.

[rancid cedar]

The point of zipcamping is that your literally avoiding all melee units so you can focus ranged one’s

[zenith sand]

Why would you expose yourself for the ranged ones to insta-kill you if you are caught in a bad spot?

[rancid cedar]

they wont insta kill me if i’m playing well

[grand pasture]

Grab the zipline on taking damage

[zenith sand]

The opposite, zip-lining should be done when ther eis no ranged units.

[chilly shore]

exactly, that’s why you should be on a zip instead of the ground

[zenith sand]

Grab might not be always perfect

[rancid cedar]

If there’s no ranged units then nothing matters anymore cus driller just killed everything with 2 ammo

[zenith sand]

Well you have a shield, if there is too much pressure why not use it?

[zenith sand]

Irrelevant.

[grand pasture]

A you issue then

[rancid cedar]

you can literally just spam E mindlessly

[zenith sand]

Im sure you might had that happened to you, so much stuff happens.

[pure cliff]

no really if you get dropped you can grab it again instantly

if you spam, if not then cross 2 ziplines, one lower than the other

[zenith sand]

Too much resources to deal with fliers, why jsut get in the position of vulnerability in the first place?

Or at leas tkill the fliers before you zip?

[rancid cedar]

It’s a trade off, but it can def be worth while

[grand pasture]

Yeah, so I got better at it

[zenith sand]

All I'm saying is that while zip gunning is cool and all, I think Gunner already has too many resources to deal with crowds than to prioritize zip gunning

Especially fliers.

[rancid cedar]

If all hvts in the cave are dead the swarm is already effectively neutered. Although zipgunning can be pretty nice for just cheesing swarmer, grunt, and praet swarms

[zenith sand]

If I zip gun, its because the zip is in the way, but I try to not rely on it often

[rancid cedar]

gunner has good crowd control but in a coordinated team that’s often not his main role

[zenith sand]

Depends on loadout, mission and context.

[compact otter]

Thats what im saying

[zenith sand]

I mean, I think holding e its a great tip, but honestly I think it jsut limits your gunner gameplay. When you can do soo many other things.

[rancid cedar]

The context is: Do i have a competent flame driller?

[compact otter]

Yes

[zenith sand]

Zipllining should be a complement, not a go-too always strategy

[compact otter]

Tahts what im saying

[rancid cedar]

never said it was lol

[compact otter]

You can do zipgunnung

But

[zenith sand]

Maybe you dont have a driller because the greenbeard only had his engie as a promoted class.

[compact otter]

Its not the best or most effective startegy

[zenith sand]

😉

[rancid cedar]

i view zipgunning the same way i view bunkering. A way to make the game easier that isn’t always necessary

[compact otter]

Never*

[zenith sand]

And youw er etired of being kicked for offering your driller over the greenbeard

Just saying

[rancid cedar]

Idk just cause you find haz 5 easy doesn’t mean it can’t help other ppl lol

[zenith sand]

I mean zips are nice.

I jsut think that if I die and I had a skill issue I just hurt my team

When I could have done so many othe rthings instea dof going to the zip

Like shielding, grenading, etc

[rancid cedar]

this is fair. But again, taking all the hvt pressure off the team is a very solid bonus regardless of whether your team has good crowd clear

It’s sitauonally good but it works really well when it does

[zenith sand]

Of course, I think its good on scenarios when fliers cna be dealt with easier

But honestly I think its good practice jsut having control of your placement and use your resources as you go

[rancid cedar]

How is the zip stopping you from doing these things

[zenith sand]

Have you tried throwing a shield from the top of a zip?

[rancid cedar]

Ye it’s easy, because i frequently place myself over where my teammates are / over a resupply

[zenith sand]

Or in a zip from an extraction mission, which cna go for very long distances?

[zenith sand]

Maybe you are being overrun = you ar ecosntantly moving since you ar ein a zip

[rancid cedar]

Why would i be zip camping on a pe

[zenith sand]

For a reason you are zip lining

[rancid cedar]

the mission is like 5 minutes

[zenith sand]

Extended duration because we decided it was a good idea to bring 2 greenbeards for the EDD

Sorry, don't want to get kicked

I;m jk

Can't bleieve I'm bringing it up again

[rancid cedar]

If I’m with 2 new players on pe i’m ignoring everything to rush aquarks. Better example would be something like a drilldozer or a mining mission where setting up a position is a more regular occurrence

[zenith sand]

Can be a better example, but you get my point right?

[rancid cedar]

No

Cus i can always be on the zipline above wherever my teammates are to shield them. Or if they go down i can just leave to revive them

[zenith sand]

So you are camping the zip?

I mean, you realize you can't throw that shield pretty far right?

[rancid cedar]

you can

[compact otter]

You dont have to play haz 5
If you resort to these bad habits you can just lower teh difficulty

Thats not a Problem

[zenith sand]

You must be very accurate then

[compact otter]

Minigun long range

[rancid cedar]

I mean a win is a win imo. If someone isn’t confident at the game and wants to bunker that’s their decision lol

[compact otter]

Yes but they can just lower the difficulty

[zenith sand]

We are talking about supportng the party from a zip line using other stuff than weapons

[rancid cedar]

zip camping is just a more engaging way to make the game technically easier

[zenith sand]

Aka why you want to be moving around

[compact otter]

Oh

Zip is extremely good for support

[rancid cedar]

What if they find that difficulty boring

[zenith sand]

When I do gunner I'm always moving and trying to deal with stuff and objectives all the time

I'm never stationary

[compact otter]

Then learn how to play proper

[rancid cedar]

Define properly

When engi uses repellent to set up a defensive position is he playing properly?

[compact otter]

Learn that zip gunning is a bad habit because you handicap your teammates and yourself

[rancid cedar]

you don’t

[zenith sand]

Using the zipline as a tool, not some bike learner wheels.

[rancid cedar]

When driller mines out bad terrain is he playing the game properly?

[compact otter]

I believe that the slow travelspeed of zipline is due to zipgunning

[rancid cedar]

You are literally using it as a tool tho

[compact otter]

Bad terrain?

As in

Lots of verticality?

[rancid cedar]

You don’t know what bad terrain is?

[zenith sand]

Yeha but I'm not goign to waste my shield attempting to throw it from a zip uncertainly.

[rancid cedar]

no lmao

bad terrain as in bad terrain

[compact otter]

Like?

[zenith sand]

You can terraform your terrain.

[rancid cedar]

Why would it be uncertainly

[compact otter]

Yea
But terraforming is a core game mechanic

[zenith sand]

He is talking how sometimes things spawn in cliffs or caves with big openings and exposes others.

[rancid cedar]

Like literally any situation where carving out an area to fight would make a position more defendable? Like one of the best aspects of playing driller?

[compact otter]

Oh
You can just drill a hacking pod down for example

[zenith sand]

If you are zipgunning you will always be very slow and confined to a slow lined space. That is if you ar ein the range to throw a shield

[rancid cedar]

Like drilling away coral or any other obstruction that removes line of site? Or flattening out bumpy areas

[compact otter]

Yea and?

[zenith sand]

Yeah terraforming, he was referring to those scenarios

[compact otter]

Zipline cant do that

[rancid cedar]

That isn’t playing the game properly cus ur using a crutch right?

Using plats is also a crutch

[zenith sand]

I mena a zipline its sort of a crutch

[rancid cedar]

That’s my fucking point

they all are

because they all make the game easier

[zenith sand]

No because you can place them anywhere and they ar enot perfect

[rancid cedar]

Wdym they aren’t perfect?

[compact otter]

Zipline is to get your team to an elevated spot
The advantage is that they dont despawn, cant be destroyed either and it has a lot of range

[compact otter]

But zipgunning is not a core game mechanic

[zenith sand]

Depending on the placement, effects like plasticide can't work and also they cna be affected by many things, even your own teammates. Zipline sin the other hand are indestructible placed objects.

[compact otter]

Since you dont use the zipgun to traverse

[rancid cedar]

Neither is repellent and yet it’s easily the best thing in engis entire kit

[compact otter]

But to get to a disadvantageous fireing position

[zenith sand]

The turrets found that very offensive.

[rancid cedar]

You don’t use the zipgun to traverse? How

[zenith sand]

You have two legs and other teammates.

[rancid cedar]

They fall of quite badly with haz level. Bug repellent pretty much always makes the game much easier and is only limited by your experience using it

Very similar to zips

[compact otter]

Oh that is actually a core game mechanic
Its called crowding the enemy
Like
A choke point for example

[compact otter]

You play driller, u should know

[rancid cedar]

Ok so a core game mechanic is just something you say is a core game mechanic lmfao

[compact otter]

If you are zipgunning you dont use tge line to traverse

[zenith sand]

Gunner can make this mechanic with so many other things too

[rancid cedar]

you can do both???

[compact otter]

Yes

[compact otter]

Yes but if you are zipgunning you remain on the zipline

I never said that you cant traverse

[rancid cedar]

Using a chokepoint isn’t a mechanic it’s just a strategy ppl use lol. Manipulating bug pathing is an actual mechanic and it’s literally limited by a mod tier

[zenith sand]

And you are in a predetermined track, going really slowly

[compact otter]

But if you are zipgunning you dont want to traverse

[rancid cedar]

You can always zip down at around dash speed

[zenith sand]

The gunner shield wants to speak with you.

[compact otter]

But manipulating bug pathing cant just be done by engi

[zenith sand]

Can you shoot while dashing and then holding e?

[rancid cedar]

What? That’s not what we were even discussing lol

[zenith sand]

What you don't use your shield to manipulate group pathing and chokepoints?

Do you play gunner even?

[rancid cedar]

shield for chokes? what

[compact otter]

Just for the zipline lol

[compact otter]

Shields have a 100% fear for any enemy

[zenith sand]

You can use your shield in a tunnel to make the enemies go in one side and then use that as a small choke, you can combine that with grenades.

[rancid cedar]

You can shoot while dashing and when going down a zip so idk where your going with this

[rancid cedar]

Yes, but they don’t create chokes lol

[compact otter]

No you create the choke

[rancid cedar]

How

I am in a room with flat terrain, make a choke with a shield

[compact otter]

Rmb

[zenith sand]

Enemies will fear in a side and not be inside the shield.

[rancid cedar]

They will just crowd around it lol

[zenith sand]

This is literally how you play gunne rlmao

[rancid cedar]

That’s not the point of shield

No

[zenith sand]

Yes it is, do you play gunner?

[rancid cedar]

yessir

[chilly shore]

talks about having used ziplines in various mission situations
"do you play gunner"

[compact otter]

I have given up

[rancid cedar]

Iv got about 70 promos in gunner

which is my least played tbf

[zenith sand]

That can be his only gunner gameplay.

[compact otter]

Dubious claim

[chilly shore]

thats not the highest ive seen

[zenith sand]

70 promos 💀

[rancid cedar]

anyways, the point of the comparison i was making between plats and zips is that they both are used strategically to make the game easier in some way

[zenith sand]

Plats are destructible

[compact otter]

I have 2
And i know how to use shields

[rancid cedar]

Neither is necessary but both can def help

[zenith sand]

Zips are not

Plats can fail mechanically, zips can't

[rancid cedar]

Yes plats and zips are different. They also have different uses. Generally i would say zipgunning is not as strong as solid repellent usage and bunkering is better then both. Theyr all just tools that make the game easier and the extent to which you use them is largely based on preference / your comfort level with whatever haz ur playing

[compact otter]

You can just lower the difficulty or make your own

To make the game easier

[hasty kite]

So I’m fairly close to getting my first promotion and I’m wondering if there’s any tips for deep dives cause I’m quite eager to do my first one?

[compact otter]

Deep dives are basically 3 small missions so they take longer
I think they are hazard 3 or 4
I dont remember

[rancid cedar]

For example, i am confident playing engi on haz 5 without repellent usage since engi can pretty easily destroy haz 5 swarms without too much input. However on 7x2 i am not at all confident in surviving without plats so will use i will abuse it as much as i possibly can to survive.

Similarly if someone is trying to get into haz 5 and thinks zipgunning will keep them alive while letting them contribute to the team, i think that’s fine

[rancid cedar]

it’s haz 3, 3.5, and 3.5 again

[hasty kite]

Am I able to join random lobbies midway or would I have to drop with them?

[naive beacon]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[compact otter]

He can think that but it doesn’t contribute the team other than them not having to revive him
Thats what difficulty levels are for

[rancid cedar]

No deep dives are the only time you can’t join mid way through

[compact otter]

No
No joining lobbies that already started

[rancid cedar]

He is contributing lol, just cus you can’t see that doesn’t mean he isn’t

[compact otter]

He could contribute more by playing a lower difficulty

[rancid cedar]

Ppl can play whatever difficulty they want using whatever strategies they want. I only really make fun of ppl bunkering cus that’s a bit mind numbing for my taste but it’s ultimately their decision

[compact otter]

You literally think zipgunning is good

[chilly shore]

zipgunning is contributing by drawing all the ranged aggro and allowing gunner to have maximum primary firing time without having to stop every half second for a bhop

as a side effect, the melee bug aggro goes to the rest of the team, which can be good or bad depending on how prepared they are, or if they know what they're doing

[rancid cedar]

plats only fail if you fuck up ur repellent placement

[chilly shore]

if you do it wrong, or if you don't pay attention to the right things, then zipgunning can be worse than nothing
which is also true of bunkering

[compact otter]

How does it draw the attention of ranged enemies?

[chilly shore]

ranged enemies prioritize shooting at dwarves who are on ziplines

[compact otter]

Proof?

[chilly shore]

thats a core game mechanic

https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Zipline_Launcher

last paragraph of the description

[compact otter]

Ok

But does that have to be a good thing?

If you receive damage you fall of after all

And you are an easy target

[naive beacon]

this discussion 💀

[chilly shore]

Yeah it depends
if you arent good at dodging while on a zipline, it can just make you into a target
if you are good at it, or if you have some way to save fall damage, or if there arent many ranged enemies, it can be a strong tactic

[rancid cedar]

Depends on ur spatial awareness. Having all mactera clump up naturally is def a good thing when used properly

[chilly shore]

*or you can stun cycle all the ranged enemies which i forgot to mention as an option

[rancid cedar]

ye just equip the actually good gunner primaries kek

[naive beacon]

ye i tend to do that w hurrican when gunnering

[compact otter]

You are super slow on a zipline
Tf you mean dodging?

[rancid cedar]

press w when going down to dodge

the higher you are the more time you get to use the movement bonus

[compact otter]

You do not accelerate indefinitely and you reach the max speed quite fast

[chilly shore]

zipgunning is pretty funny against a korlok

i remember doing it once but nowadays i just stay on the ground because thats more interesting

[rancid cedar]

fast enough to dodge tri jaws and that’s all that really matters tbh

[patent elk]

I never thought zip lining of all thing was gonna spawn this much debate.

[final sorrel]

FYI there's a cave leech in the third stage of the regular DD. Almost cost my group the run lol

Also several grabber spawns

[fair palm]

дип рок топ

[quick tangle]

hey this edd was really easy

I only died once due to hoxxes's deadliest force, gravity! (technicly I didn't directly die due to fall damage, but I fell of a steep cliff which brought me down to like 15 hp and then got finished of by a praetorian)

[grand pasture]

There ain't nitra for shit in this one

And people weren't lying about the cave generation

[quick tangle]

wdym no nitra

I never ran out in the entire run

(though I was playing solo with a quite ammo efficient build so that might've changed things)

[outer cloud]

nitra is indeed tight on this edd

[wintry trench]

many french here ?

i'm lost

[paper ingot]

you can also put it on private...

[wheat gull]

Yes, but it makes the wait time for the lobby to fill up pretty unreasonable.

[idle trellis]

did my first deep dive, it was awesome

[wheat gull]

Hell yeah. Regular or Elite?

[idle trellis]

regular

[wheat gull]

Escort and refinery on your first deep dive? Heck of a way to start, nicely done. 😛

[gloomy saddle]

just finished the elite dive. ended up killing the hiveguard on stage 3 with a bulk lol

[abstract geyser]

Modern problems require modern solution

[vocal ocean]

am I cracked or was this elite deep dive harder

first stage has fuckall nituh

[unique ore]

#welcome-and-rules get a role

[leaden cypress]

very interesting

<@&296918282403840000> interested ?

[tacit jungle]

Was pretty smooth for my pub team, our scout found enough nitra

stage 3 extraction got a little intense, we tossed in last two eggs as the wave closed in and immediately got 2 downs

[vocal ocean]

My team had 2 green beards and yet again a cryo driller

Thankfully the green beards got vibes right after the first stage

[grand pasture]

Gonna take it they were so interested, they decided to keep whatever it was to themselves!

[abstract geyser]

Seems harder for my public team last night with 1 greenbeard
The nitra is scarce too, just barely enough every stage

[leaden cypress]

there's enough for 2 resupplies on stage 1, 3 on stage 2 and easily 5 on stage 3

[quick tangle]

why is everyone having such troubles with nitra on this one, I don't get it

[grand pasture]

Seems like a deep dive where ammo efficiency is more reliable due to lack of nitra

[blissful bough]

In all my deep dives, only elite deep dive were really straining ammo usage. (I scout deep dive)

[lilac wing]

are deep dives the weekly tasks? or something else sorry im a noob

[wraith shard]

yeah basically

new deep dives and weekly assignments at the same time every week

[lilac wing]

oh so the weekly assignment isnt the deep dive? where do you find deep dives?

[burnt sandal]

on the deep dive terminal

[lilac wing]

is that locked till a certain level?

ive not seen it if its not

[leaden cypress]

it's locked until you promote one of your dwarfs

[lilac wing]

ah

[wraith shard]

i recommend getting a promo asap since once you have that you unlock alot of content

[lilac wing]

yeah im working on it my engies close

[wraith shard]

beastage

[lilac wing]

does promo reset the caracter?

[wraith shard]

resets it to level 1 but you lose nothing and gain a rank on that class

so like all your upgrades, your unlocks, your perks, you keep all of that, nothing is lost

[lilac wing]

ah ok thank you

[wraith shard]

every time you promote X class it gains a rank- bronze 1,2,3 then silver, gold etc

[vestal sapphire]

Stage 2 nemesis got blasted by the drop pod lmao

[next pebble]

I'm just gonna say it before someone else can today.

"Why can't I talk in any of the other channels or join the voice chats?"

[patent elk]

Someone will still ask it even right after someone else answers it

[lilac wing]

to be fair to myself (because i totally did this 100%) i was sped af from midterms and didnt even think to look at previous messages even tho the answer was literally like 5 lines up

[jovial peak]

Thinking of pushing for my first Elite Deep Dive solo finish. Is this weeks run hard or easy in comparison for other runs? Also, which character would work the best in this weeks run?

[eager atlas]

Whatever class you're most comfortable with is going to be the best

just keep in mind you want something that can kill dreadnoughts

[grand pasture]

This week's? Hm, it's harder than average as far as I'm concerned, not impossible, be weary about ammo though, there's not a lot of nitra in this one

The cave generation as many have said, is really weird

[jovial peak]

Alright, Well, guess I'll give it a try and see if it's ticking the boxes for me to try to grind it out. Thanks 🙂

[quick tangle]

defenetly more on the easier part

[warped quiver]

I got so lost on stage 2 in my solo run lol

Spent at least 10 minutes looking for dirt

[steel onyx]

anyone doing elite deep dives?

[shadow temple]

Personally brought gunner solo and I found Stage 2 to be the hardest of the lot....maybe I'm biased because I was fighting a bulk detonator in front of a long tunnel and then the game decided to spawn ANOTHER bulk at the entrance of the tunnel and I was like "Welp, I'm dying once for this run"

[jovial peak]

Haha, Yeah I would like to Scout it (for the kite and mobility) but then again ammo might become a thing...

[rancid cedar]

leadburster moment

[jovial peak]

Deep Dives are all the same, for everyone that is, right? So spawns are the same? Meaning the amount of enemies is finite, dropbod picks up in same place and all the nitra is in same place... MEANING again that surely they've made sure that there is enough nitra to do the job with any char, presumably.

[naive beacon]

other than dreadnaught/caretaker, you dont need to kill any enemies to complete objectives

[jovial peak]

Yeah but if I linger would I keep getting enemies or are the spawns predetermined?

[naive beacon]

u keep getting enemies

time matters

[jovial peak]

Dang

[naive beacon]

its seeded but some things are still random too

[unique ore]

the seeds are randomly generated, they can generate a pattern that is impossible or close to impossible to clear, like that one time there wasnt enough morkite cause the heartstone chamber removed morkite

and static spawns aren't exactly the same, it changes based on the number of players

[jovial peak]

Really? I haven't checked in a while but I thought the devs would play every EDD every week and upload a video, to show it's doable

[naive beacon]

wait was it actually impossible? or did u just have to mine all the crust?

[unique ore]

it was like extremely extremely tight, if you mined a tiny bit where you lost the resource, then you basically couldnt get it, however, there is dark morkite, so most people just did it when the beer was that

[naive beacon]

wdym lost the resource

[unique ore]

it depends on how you mine it, you can lose like .1 of a resource if you mine something a specific way

[naive beacon]

wha

[unique ore]

you can ask in #drg-chat, I cant remember the specifics, but most of the time it doesnt matter

[summer cypress]

this EDD is fucked up

just a genuine piece of shit

cant get past stage 2 cuz i keep getting 2-3 bulks per run

[unique ore]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepRockGalactic/comments/18so4cg/comment/kfb0x59/ heres someones comment, if you dig a mineral with below .1 units, it will not drop a chunk, so you will lose it if your backpack is full, which is likely if you are mining a vein and are down to the last few specks

[naive beacon]

ty thats good to know

[shadow temple]

Waiting for the one EDD where the refinery/minehead spawns on a very tiny rock pillar and you can only realistically solo the mission using engie

[jolly quiver]

Yo I haven't been on in a while how do I unlock the pods?

[shadow temple]

The pods? Oh the VCs?

Pick a role in #welcome-and-rules

[next pebble]

Damn, we made it so far into the day before someone broke the streak

[summer cypress]

this edd has traumatized me

[wintry trench]

some french here ?

[unique ore]

#fan-communities

[eager atlas]

terrain and minerals are fixed, stationary spawns are mostly fixed, but I've seen them change on replays even with the same player count, everything else is random (whether you get normal swarm or special one, specific number of specific enemies that spawn in the swarm etc, though the enemy pool is fixed too, so you won't see anything changing much)

you pretty much always have excess nitra, or just good enough, I never found nitra to be truly lacking

[frosty hazel]

what are the missions for the normal deep dive?

idk where to find them easily if theyre posted or not

[eager atlas]

pinned

[rocky quest]

Just did the absolute silliest deep dive I've ever done.

This weeks standard deep dive was.. Funny.

My buddy and I decided, on a whim, that we would not call any resupplies.

This was after we had completed the first stage, just about with enough ammo (I joked that he should leave the heart stone to me, and I'd do all the shooting, since he was already just about out, well, that joke ended up not being a joke, but I ended up not shooting either because Hazard 3 is laughably easy and we had slayer stout, so we just power attacked through the whole event, mostly), then we went in to the second stage, and I joked again, eh, no need to call a resupply, we'll be fine.

We ended up not calling one for the whole stage, even though we both started it with basically no ammo. Power attacks, hacking a few patrol bots, and bet-c got us through it. Great fun.

The welcoming party for stage 3 forced us to call one, as things got a bit dicey, but we both took only one, and quickly ran out of ammo after we took out the bugs, and went on to complete the rest of the stage also without ammo. Quite funny.

Near the end we called about 10 resupplies and started killing bugs with them. Great fun indeed.

[patent elk]

I had one of those the other day on a refinery and it spawned super high up that it was hard to see without flares in sandblasted. Was driller and made a spiral around half the map to reach it and engi had to make a bridge to still get to it. It was fun for a while until the constant fall damage got tedious lol.

[solar skiff]

dude i swear to god if i make it halfway through a deep dive and the host randomly disconnects one more time i might flip out

[unique ore]

i mean you could always host, also disconnects can be client side even if it said the host disconnected, it happens a lot to me but I can still see the lobby open in the dd menu

[solar skiff]

whenever i host i never get anyone to join for some reason sadge

[raven swallow]

How many hours does it take to level up ONE character? All weapons, perks, etc. (I'm new to the game, I'm curious to know).

[rough radish]

like to level 25?

probably like around 10 hrs, just rough estimate

[spiral badge]

Perks aren’t class specific, and vary depending on how fast you complete milestones

[rough radish]

yeah i forget how long getting perks took

not too long tho i think you can at least max the good ones by the time u promote each character, if u dont have them all by then

[rough radish]

also u can get a role in #welcome-and-rules to type in other channels

[raven swallow]

So, approximately 50 hours ?

[wraith shard]

depends what difficulty you play on

[rough radish]

yeah it depends. and after you promote a character you unlock more stuff to do so there's a loooot past just unlocking all weapons

[fossil cipher]

Got through the first stage pretty easy, was doing well on the second, then we got to the back of the level.

Spitballer/leech spam + some ill timed swarms. Everything went to shit real fast lmao

Might try again later, but have all weapon OCs already, so it'll just give me even more cores I can't spend fast enough. Also short on credits, so I've put a pause on forging

[spiral pasture]

If I promote a mod enabled character and then turn it off, will I be able to get the achievement for that?

[unique ore]

approved and sandbox mods disable achievements

[abstract geyser]

Make sure you select “public” before hosting the DD / EDD
Happened to me when I started playing my first deep dives until I notice that it’s set to “private”

[magic kraken]

Got a regular dd posted for public w red rock blaster as the beer if anyone wants to join

[fallen lake]

guys how do you start a mission in co op

[magic kraken]

make sure the "public" option is ticked and people will be able to join

[fluid aurora]

bulk spawned and some dolt popped the hiveguard cocoon on the last stage
we ran all the way back to spawn and right as someone c4'd the hiveguard open spots we finished off the bulk and the hiveguard got fucked over

thats what the professionals in the industry call 'planned as fuck'

[agile leaf]

Yes

[molten mesa]

Does anyone know what I can't use #drg-chat ?

[dreamy veldt]

If somebody could help me out, that would be amazing. Everytime I do a deep dive i get no rewards from it. No cores, no minerals, no money. Ive checked the Q n A's but without succes

[grand pasture]

You running any approved or sandbox mods?

[plucky latch]

Probably because of our level

In the server

[bitter canyon]

get a role in #welcome-and-rules @molten mesa

[plucky latch]

Thanks

Still dont work

I chose the roles but cant see em

[wraith shard]

[zenith sand]

Also did EDD yesterday, greenbeard scout was suprisingly good

Was too long in the second mission to the point we wanted to get over it

Brought sludge pump with the goo bomber overclock and the wave cooker with necro overclock. Surprisingly saved a lot of ammo that I gave my engie the chance to double dip

[naive beacon]

bomb overclock?

[zenith sand]

The fact we had to survive naturally ocurring waves and not the ones the eggs generated made the run super excrutiating

[zenith sand]

Goo bomber

Who knew that very slowed enemies and long lasting sludges can save you a lot of ammo, especially in the thight corridors of the salt pits

The wave cooker blistering necrosis made a good work of the praetorians and the 3 bulk detonator spawns

None of us died to them

Overall a very stressfull EDD that felt longer than it should. We had to fight 4 waves of enemies before we could even get above 75 morkite

We all agreed we needed to work faster and get the fuck out

I think that was the key of our success.

[chrome pond]

why cant i talk in drg chat...

[rancid cedar]

get a role from #welcome-and-rules

[chrome pond]

thanks

[wet dock]

Hey I've just joined the server and for some reason this is the ONLY channel I can use, and it won't link to the Discord screen in my DRG game. Anyone know what's going on?

My bad

[uncut snow]

Had that feeling when your internet dies on you while in a deep dive

And the dive was your actual first one

[primal jolt]

Looking for anyone who wants to run EDD

Silver 2 Driller, rank 64

I can’t claim to be amazing but I know what I’m doing. I’ve completed a good bit of haz 4-5 missions

Closed Circuits on Xbox, just message me

Oops! Totally thought I was in that chat. Thanks @abstract geyser

[abstract geyser]

Good luck

[abstract geyser]

No problem, we also have a greenbeard driller in our team yesterday and he’s doing a great job, I’m sure you will be fine. If you ask me, keep moving around and ur gud, lethal enemies in stage 2

[solar sable]

How do I release voice channels?

[fickle cloud]

Check the #welcome-and-rules channel. You need to pick a role.

No worries, a lot of people have had the same question lately 👍

[hazy pike]

how do i get premission to chat it DRG-Chat?

[lilac wing]

do any matrics ever go away once you get them ?

or are they permanantly yours till you purchase them?

[onyx dirge]

2 people left during stage 2 when they were downed...

[cyan birch]

This EDD is cursed

[wraith shard]

how so?

[woven smelt]

worst map i've ever seen

shit's so bad, there is a spitballer every fucking step

at least 4 cave leeches

can't move a muscle without you teammate or yourself instantly dying

and the glyphid dreadnought is like a shitty chery on top

[wraith shard]

no thanks :)

I think my message got deleted for some reason

Like there are 3 beers that doesnt require beer licence amd those are free all the time.

[wraith shard]

they cost a small amount of credits usually

[dapper orchid]

But why are mine free?

[wraith shard]

they are free for a limited time each month

bro what was this DD lol

I got a Dread, Bet-c, and Nemesis

[balmy path]

Looking for a team for this weeks elite?

[raven carbon]

Nice edd, teams could run short on nitra if they're slow

[reef girder]

stage 3 of DD, nemesis spawn got instantly bodied by the refinery lmao

[autumn vine]

Me too. Have you been able to solve this problem?

[grave mauve]

Can i play deep dives with other dwarfs that i didnt promote?

[torpid moth]

Hello

[unique ore]

read 1 more message down from that one

[wheat bobcat]

guys is there any penalty when only one person makes it to the drop pod in a 4 man lobby?

[vagrant parcel]

#welcome-and-rules

[crystal lodge]

You loose survival bonus

[wheat bobcat]

is it alot?

[crystal lodge]

Not really, you loose only a small amount of credits, If I remember correctly

~300 credits per person

[wraith shard]

its not worth thinking about at all

miniscule amount compared to wiping while trying to get everyone to the pod

[grand pasture]

Can't wait for realism fanatics to suggest making it so people who don't make it to the drop pod just get nothing

[wheat bobcat]

so its not gonna be a disaster when i press the force launch pod in the mod menu?

[old widget]

At least one dwarf has to be in the pod when it leaves to get credit for a mission

Not sure why you would want/need to use mods for that

[wraith shard]

what

[wheat bobcat]

when i press h i have a button

[wraith shard]

i know what modhub is

why would you need a force launch button

[wheat bobcat]

when a random is trolling

[wraith shard]

oh

honestly thats pretty fair

atleast 1 person has to be in the pod tho

[old widget]

Ah, the old “can’t kick me because countdown is running” trolls

[wheat bobcat]

yeah i had a game when a gunner went into the pod and killed the remaining 3 people

[wraith shard]

i ban them immediately after we get back to rig, still v annoying tho

[wheat bobcat]

most of them leave by themselves

[wraith shard]

i still ban them so they cant come back

[pallid zephyr]

Do the deep dives let you see what missions your doing?

[crystal lodge]

No, you can see mutators and other things only when you are already on the deep dive stage or on loading screen between stages

[pallid zephyr]

Ohh ok

[crystal lodge]

On deep dive terminal at space rig you can only see the biome and a name

[pallid zephyr]

Ye

[crystal lodge]

They post all about this weeks deep dives in this channel tho

[pallid zephyr]

I haven’t done one yet so just trying to see what to expect

[crystal lodge]

.

[pallid zephyr]

I better do one soon at least

[crystal lodge]

You receive a good amount of XP and money, and 3 matrix cores (blank,overclock and cosmetic) so, yeah, it’s worth doing

[pallid zephyr]

Ya I should hurry up and start one

Lol

Should I go solo or find someone to do it with?

[crystal lodge]

For the first time it’s better to go with someone, at least I think so

[pallid zephyr]

Ok ya

Go to welcome and do those things

Pick roles

At least that worked for me

[eager atlas]

You can see the first mission in the space rig in the screen at the drop pod

[crystal lodge]

Fr? Never noticed this

[eager atlas]

it's very easy to miss

specially when the first instinct there is to slap the dice

[reef girder]

Half incorrect, all the info for first stage is in the pause menu, but only the first stags

[grand pasture]

What he said was entirely correct and yours is half

[sand vigil]

Question.

how do i gain the ability to type in Drg-Chat?

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules and pick roles

[sand vigil]

mk

ty

[finite zinc]

you can see the objectives for the first mission on the screen inside the drop pod before you leave, however useful that is

[fickle flax]

Hello

How are you doing

[lilac wing]

wait if you do the epic dive you dont get extra compared to the regular?????

[unique ore]

its just 2 sets of rewards, the rewards themselves are the same amount for dd and edd

[lilac wing]

how do you get the second set?

[unique ore]

dd and edd each give 1 set of rewards

[wheat gull]

[autumn kestrel]

Good afternoon brothers, is there information somewhere on the discord about efficient builds for deep dives? more specifically about being efficient with ammo/ammo restocking.

[wraith shard]

any build ever is viable in dives

[tiny dagger]

you can ask in #drg-chat but generally deep dives are just 3 missions back to back so any advice about regular missions will also work in deep dives

[grave flame]

Hola

[warm whale]

what level would you lot recommend before joining EDDs?
I'm at overall 86 with a fairly even split between all 4 classes, I'm pretty mediocre at FPS games, I don't want to ruin someone else's run since it kinda gets locked unlike regular missions
also my ping is probs awful, only world games where I am

[cobalt harness]

You should be alright at that level, just know your build and try your best. I doubt anyone will get on at you for it honestly.

[leaden cypress]

level doesn't matter, what matters is whether you're used to haz5 or not

[cobalt harness]

Yeah that too

[warm whale]

I do struggle at haz5, I defs can't solo haz4, you reckon that's where I should practice first?

[leaden cypress]

why not H4 with others ?

[cobalt harness]

I cant solo haz 5 tbf but I can handle a coop edd

[leaden cypress]

nvm i read the text above

anyway yeah you should try H4 solo first

once you're used to it, do H5

[warm whale]

sounds good - I do think I tend to be a bit reliant on others to keep heat off me while doing objectives or vice versa

[cobalt harness]

Its good to practice soloing in general and then act like a coop match is solo.

You want to be able to do everything yourself incase you need to

[warm whale]

ironically I've found a bunch of coop haz4 games easier than haz3 ones for this reason 😂

[foggy jackal]

are deep dives hard? (never dun one or a haz 5 mission before)

[cobalt harness]

edds can be, reg dds aren't so bad

depends on the rng a bit aswell

[foggy jackal]

is it like inbetween haz 4 and 5?

[cobalt harness]

edds are 4.5,5 and 5.5 iirc

[foggy jackal]

oh

[round dust]

it can be a breathe like haz 4 or can be a nightmare sometimes like haz 10 you never know lmao

[cobalt harness]

yep

[foggy jackal]

i dont have any friends who play the game regularly enough to do em

i really dont trust randoms

[cobalt harness]

same

we should do them together :)

[foggy jackal]

pretty sure the game aint cross plat

[cobalt harness]

Aw shit I didnt see thath

[foggy jackal]

all good

[cobalt harness]

I have it on ps4 but I only have about 10 hours game time

I'd have to grind to do dives

Oh, you can't screenshare in the pods :(

[silent prism]

The primary objectives are the same, right down to the Dreads

[grand pasture]

Unsure if worth mentioning, spelling mistake in "Black box" on stage 1 of regular dive

[drifting tinsel]

thanks for pointing that out, i missed it entirely (；・∀・)

[harsh brook]

oh maaan.... ONS 😪

[hearty geyser]

Rock and Stone you beautiful dwarf!

I'll be drillin in both dives this week, lesgooooo

[raven carbon]

Edd is pretty easy this time

No tricky stages or warnings

Missions are also fast

[zinc forge]

WERE RICH

[lunar mountain]

Greenbeards should be able to do deep dives with non promoted classes if they already promoted a different class

[shadow temple]

Very smooth EDD, the OSR at the end can be quite easily done without needing an engie or driller

Just that you'll need one really long pipeline for that furthest pumpjack, but nothing too bad with the generation

[wraith shard]

regular deep dive yeah, edd probably not, altho regardless its at the discretion of host who they play so it wouldnt matter anyway

[fossil solar]

I kinda like that you need to promote each dwarf since it ensures you've played a lot of missions as the class to ensure you're familiar with how they play

[wraith shard]

yeah, its a fair enough requirement

altho

1, even 3, maybe even 6 promotions doesnt mean someone is gonna be good enough to hold their own in some EDD's

[pale orbit]

true, smooth edd this week much appreciated GMsan

[raven carbon]

There is some error with the pinned message though

Stage 2 was lethal enemies and stage 3 cave leech cluster

[frosty shoal]

there is nothing to pick ):

yeahm i know. I saw my friends screen on this chat, he can select a role. In my discord i dont have this. I already downloaded the last version. idk what to do :D

but anyway, i appreciate your time. thanks

[untold saddle]

Sometimes it bugs, waiting should fix it

Or if you're lucky a mod will give you a role

[frosty shoal]

i'm usually not lucky

and thanks, both of you

[twilit ingot]

this EDD wasnt too bad

[ebon merlin]

Same thought here. Only got Scout as my main and gunner promoted and I could not think of finishing a DD or EDD as a Driller or Engy just because of not having the knowledge on how to play each and weapon setups etc

[wraith shard]

beating the regular DD with a level 1 class is very doable, EDD would be a bit hard tho

[ebon merlin]

sure but it depends on how the rotation is. Had some DD's that were harder than the EDD on their rotation

[wraith shard]

gonna strongly disagree with that one, haz 3 will never be near as hard as haz 5 regardless of how abominable the spawns or cavegen are

[vestal sapphire]

I have silver 1 on every class and still dont feel comfortable doing edd as driller or engi because of how many "basic strategies" with them i probably just dont know and wouldn't do and then have my team mad at me lmao

[wraith shard]

im pretty comfortable carrying on every class, tho i have not played scout in while

[rancid cedar]

Ye even if you pull all the eggs and hit max spawn cap, the lowered grunt hp, super low enemy and projectile speed make the game signifantly easier regardless of what even spawned

[idle frigate]

is this week bugged or smth ive never seen such similar dives before

[leaden cypress]

Nah, it happened several times before

[tiny dagger]

its just rngesus being bored and not doing rng

[harsh brook]

So is this weeks deep dive relatively easy then?

[wraith shard]

not sure

i played it on 6x2

[harsh brook]

kinda tempted to try the EDD

but it'd be my first time lmao

I also haven't done any haz 5 stuff yet, so it'd probably kick my ass

[wraith shard]

the sooner u start doing EDD's, the faster u unlock OC's

[harsh brook]

now im tempted to give EDD a go

cause more OCs means more chances of me finally getting another scout OC

[wraith shard]

do it

[past brook]

No time like the present

[wraith shard]

dont worry about this, realistically u only need 1 good player to roll haz 5, just play your role decently well and you can win

[rancid cedar]

wanna do it with me?

[wraith shard]

if ur not EU im happy to join as well

[harsh brook]

yeah sure, sorry i was in an escort mission

[bleak vigil]

Did my first EDD today. Went pretty well, only 1 or 2 deaths per part. 😄

[wraith shard]

[gloomy spade]

I’ve never done an Edd, can someone carry me?

[wraith shard]

what region u in

[unique ore]

get a platform role, ask in the lfg channels

[wraith shard]

nope

contrary to popular belief, not everyone lives in america

[wispy brook]

💯

[reef girder]

oh wow both deep dives have almost the exact same objectives

dreads, morkite and refining, with the same 2 dreads for both?

stage 2 even has the same secondary for both

[tired pumice]

What are some good tips for solo edd? What class should I run and should i go for 3 or 4 revives on bosco

[eager atlas]

whichever you're most comfortable with
I believe 3 bosco is better because Light update is actually really good on bosco, unless you are scout, visibility is an issue that might make you spend more time in a room looking for nitra or morkita, the less time you spend in the mission the less things can go wrong

Don't forget bosco can mine minerals, build pipes and other stuff

[summer pendant]

yooo my first deep dive and i got 44:15

[plucky cradle]

can i play with my friends from xbox game pass if im on steam ?

[untold saddle]

no

[tiny dagger]

no

[vagrant parcel]

They need to add crossplay, I feel like it would boost player count a lot

[leaden cypress]

It would also boost cost a lot

[hidden venture]

it isnt

[cold sable]

Hi everyone! I'm a bit new here so lovely to meet you all. I was wondering if anyone here has any suggestions for co-op deep dives, like perk recommendations and such ^^

[radiant sigil]

gm

[minor ivy]

how to not run out of ammo q-q

[wraith shard]

run good builds and aim better

[cold sable]

Also remember to harvest Nitra!

[wraith shard]

if you want to win as much as possible always take resupplier, dash and iron will, the others are personal preference

[cold sable]

Thank you!

[minor ivy]

real, but i think last elite deep dive i was down to literally nothing in the last stage. I was running explosive chemical rounds on the smart rifle, inferno on the cutters, and shreader swarm as my nade. maybe im using ecr wrong or something idk

[vestal horizon]

anyone know why i cant use drg chat

also how do i get my roles

[cold sable]

You can get roles in the welcome chat, close to the bottom

[wooden vale]

Why cant I type in #drg-chat ?

[wraith shard]

Read the message above yours

[brisk dust]

I'm also having this issue but I'm not seeing a role that gives permissions. Just one for what miner is your main and platform you play on.

[cold sable]

Am not too sure then, I'm also not recieving my roles after the react. But I assume it just takes a while or smth ^^'

[ruby wadi]

How do I Chat In #drg-chat ? Is there a verification?

[unique ore]

@cold sable @ruby wadi @brisk dust get a role in #welcome-and-rules its just buggy, try it multiple times till it gives it to you, you just need any role to chat elsewhere

[cold sable]

Thanks, will try it now

[ruby wadi]

Worked now lol

[brisk dust]

Awesome, thanks!

[terse hatch]

do deep dive maps ever change? and are the missions also always the same?

[wraith shard]

they change every week

[terse hatch]

tysm

[covert ginkgo]

every thursday, to be more specific

[wraith shard]

every thursday at 9pm aest, to be more specific

huge if true

[grand pasture]

Every Thursday at 9pm aest, subject to daylight savings and clock adjustments, requiring a restart of running games at the time, to be more specific

[twin lichen]

i cant type in most channels so i have to ask here

where can i give my crash report to figure out my issue

[old widget]

pick a platform role in #welcome-and-rules and that will unlock appropriate channels. you want #bug-discussion

[eager atlas]

Just use UTC at that point

[old widget]

or Discord timestamps

[night veldt]

How’re the deep dives this week?

[raw valley]

Do any of you know why it won’t let me join the voice channels?

[naive beacon]

read welcome and get roles

[raw valley]

Ok

[near bough]

Did the “role” in the welcome tab. Are we just supposed to click on the platform we play on? I still can’t chat 😭

Rock & stone 4 Eva tho

[next pebble]

Sometimes the bot just doesn't work. What roles did you pick?

[raven carbon]

Pick the class

Engineer gunner scout driller

[old karma]

I've been struggling to find a solo scout build for EDD, anyone have any loadouts?

[naive beacon]

my fav solo scout is AI gk2 with gaz recycling zhukovs

[wraith cloud]

can any1 tell me what's is on deep dive?

[wraith shard]

pins

[old karma]

is the grenade choice integral?

[wraith shard]

scouts best solo nade is pheros

[naive beacon]

i usually carry IFGs and use the bonus electric dmg on zhukovs but pheros work too

[lofty wyvern]

ok

i am new to discord

i am on here because i want to report a bug

i dont have permission to do anything and somehow i get to chat on deep dive discussion

basically i joined a random game for assignment

[eager atlas]

get roles in #welcome-and-rules

[lofty wyvern]

i just did

i picked scout

and then i just dont take dmg at all

and anything that touches me dies instantly

[eager atlas]

with roles you can now chat in other channels

Are you on someone else's server? sounds like cheats

[wooden vale]

I wish they fixed it

Looks like each 2nd question here is about that

And it doesn't give me any roles despite clicking numerous times :((

[lunar mountain]

What gunner weapon should I use for a regular dd

[rancid cedar]

anything you like using

it’s haz 3 and 3.5

[wraith shard]

u

uhm

why can't I chat in other channels

[random rampart]

read #welcome-and-rules

pick a role or two

[wraith shard]

tu

ty

[dusk fiber]

I lost my 10hr progress because my lights went out and it was saved in steam cloud is there anyway I can get it back?

[burnt sandal]

options => save => restore save

[dusk fiber]

One more thing I joined a game that my friend invited to test if my progress is lost or not, so I quit the game from there..the save will start from there or from my old save?

[burnt sandal]

you will go to the restore save options and you'll have a bunch of save to choose from, get the more progressed one

[dusk fiber]

Okay thanks..I almost got depressed

Update; save file is saved

[steel terrace]

Hey i got a question? if my friend is on an xbox series s can i play with him if i use the xbox app. it says it only work for xbox one?

[random rampart]

wrong place, go to #xbox-and-windows-store instead

[hexed pewter]

Yall

#lfg-steam message
Would anyone be interested in running a deep dive or two with me? I'm hosting from the EU, and as far as I can tell I'm the only one hosting standard Deep Dive in the EU at the time of writing, so I shouldn't be hard to find, given I have the same name and such.

[grand pasture]

Hahahahaha

People being in the wrong channel is something else

But being in the wrong channel, but linking the right channel in the message?

[tame ingot]

Anyone wanna play deep dive?

[random rampart]

#lfg-steam or #lfg-modded-steam

[reef stag]

anyone wanna do a deep dive rn?

if u got mics thats good if not all g

[random rampart]

use your platform's lfg channel for that

[reef stag]

come again?

ah i see thank you

rock and stone

i cant msg in that

[random rampart]

either #lfg-steam/#lfg-modded-steam, #lfg-playstation or #lfg-xbox-microsoft

based on your platform

[random rampart]

read #welcome-and-rules

you need roles

[reef stag]

i see

thank you very much

[sand compass]

Hey how do i get acces to drg cht?

[random rampart]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[shell rock]

Never thought I’d be happy to see a BET-C

Absolute godsend with dreadnoughts in play

Deep dives definitely don’t give enough season xp though

Also I really, really hate sting tails

[tidal summit]

can someone explain what are 1 2 3 numbers on top of the start buttons?

[fading sierra]

They indicate which stages you've completed. They get filled in orange depending on how far you get.

If you complete the dive, all three will be lit up.
If you wipe on stage 3, for example, only the first two will be lit up.

[tidal summit]

aaaah ok

the dives refresh every week and i can get rewards for each stage only once right?

[marsh canyon]

Is there anyone who is old and strong enough in the game to do elite deep dive ? Been days im trying it and the third level we keep dying

[burnt sandal]

yes

[flint finch]

sure

[marsh canyon]

Are you on PlayStation?

[flint finch]

I'm on pc

[marsh canyon]

Damn so no way to play together 🥲

[flint finch]

rip better next time

[nova vigil]

love the pfp

[blazing sky]

So, I wanted to give a shot on DPD Elite, any advice? I'm a Driller

[eager atlas]

If you can do haz 5 then you'll be fine

[blazing sky]

ehh I did haz 5 once and died next to the pod when leaving

I'm quite new to the game but I want to check more challenge now that I did a normal dive

[exotic belfry]

All the normal DD advice also applies to the EDD. There's also a short guide to DD pinned. It just covers the most basic stuff.

[blazing sky]

Preferably one that doesn't make-me walk around for 25 min trying to find liquid morkite

[exotic belfry]

There's also the current weeks DD/EDD objectives pinned, so you can check if the current DD/EDD is something that you are capable of.

[blazing sky]

I'll give a try anyway. If I don't find players I'll just go solo but wanted to check if there was any crucial things to learn about it. Well I read the guide so I'll just go for it

sadly there aren't many players in the channels wanting to do those

[exotic belfry]

There's not much advice specific to it, as it contains the same content as any normal missions, just longer. I wish you luck on your attempt, Rock and Stone!

[blazing sky]

rns

[worn pelican]

Wanted to see if anyone wanted to deep dives idk if this is the channel for it but yeah dm if u want to

[blazing sky]

did it

oof close calls left and right but done

[daring sandal]

am i the only one who doesn't check the pins because i like to be surprised during deep dives

[leaden cypress]

Yeah you're the only one

[manic pivot]

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

[snow glacier]

nah im right there with you

[wraith shard]

F

[languid moth]

Yo, failed the elite deep dive in the last stage because someone grabbed two alien eggs at the same time

[atomic notch]

[wraith shard]

should have killed all the enmies smh

[languid moth]

There was something stopping me from doing that though

They all did not come at me one at a time

[lunar mountain]

Just had a great normal deep dive

My teammates were all being actually useful

[wraith shard]

what class were u

[languid moth]

Gunner

No prep was done. Low ammo. Mostly ranged enemies and hordes of praetorians

[wraith shard]

was there a resup down

[languid moth]

Technically, yes

Team mates grabbed all the ammo except for me though

[wraith shard]

smh

[languid moth]

They grabbed all the ammo

[wraith shard]

did someone take your resup while u were on low ammo

[languid moth]

Yes

I do not know how we got that far

[wraith shard]

thats a pretty bruh moment

take comfort in the fact you weren't the reason you lost

[languid moth]

Randos

https://tenor.com/view/chihuahua-cry-crying-dog-cry-sad-dog-dogdetti-gif-20031793

[slender otter]

i did edd with randos and it was pretty ez till stage 3 start

we all almost died and when we recovered from it, it was like regular haz 3 stage

imagine getting most kills as scout

nice team anyway, they weren't bad, there was another high level player, glad he was there

[languid moth]

I was the lowest ranked and still knew better than to take two eggs simultaneously in a small room at Haz 4

[wraith shard]

💀

[slender otter]

it's totally ok, shit happens

[grand pasture]

The random player urge to join an egg hunt and pick up an egg immediately when we don't have 80 nitra yet

[slender otter]

not like I'm high leveled, it's just happens ig

[slender otter]

I do that when I'm sure i can take the swarm ngl

not joining random server then doing egg though*

but yeah there was guy who intentionally (maybe?) took eggs and spawned 2 dreads

we won that edd with that player btw (lol)

[grand pasture]

One time had a troll gunner start 3 dreadnought fights at the same time and we beat it without him

Hate that one of the most prioritized unwritten rules in DRG is one that doesn't make sense in practicality

Double dipping, no one should claim a part of a resupply out of the sheer fact there's a certain amount of players in the lobby, it's stupid

Like, sure get mad at me for taking that second dip, but in the time we called it, I've used 75% of my ammo, done 90% of the killing and reviving, and all you've done was mine gold and use 5% of your ammo on occasional swarmers

[snow lark]

👍

[inland surge]

cool

[primal pasture]

have anyone on there?

[slender otter]

have what?

go check #welcome-and-rules if you can't type in #drg-chat

[nimble quest]

hey guys im relativly new why cant i talk in vc?

pls help

[pure cliff]

[nimble quest]

oooh thanks

[zenith sand]

I offer my part for someone to DD often in Deep Dives if I'm doing well on ammo overall and I always go even.

And always remmind people to take their part of the supply

[warm ice]

This is a bit unrelated, but why can't I talk in #drg-chat? I can only talk here

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules and pick roles

[warm ice]

I did

[warm ice]

I un-roled and chose the same roles again and it worked :P

[vernal fog]

Is there a pin for this week's DD and EDD?

[rocky zenith]

yeah just look at pins lol

[vernal fog]

I looked at pins here and nothing newer than 4 months
