deep-dive-discussion

[glossy spade]

Might just be trauma, I think my first expirence with it might have had low o2 as well, when I was very green

[honest bobcat]

Can't stand for too long Vs needing to stand to refill

[rough gyro]

Deep dive when?

New deep dive I mean

[quaint pasture]

thank god for that

that was some hollow bough ass verticality

[zenith ember]

it is up 1 hr 40 min ago

[quaint pasture]

oh hey two jet boots

stage 1 and 3 DD

[rough gyro]

Nicee

[cosmic berry]

me falling off everywhere cus my mind cant comprehend losing jet boots on stage 2

that actually happend cus already finished it lol

[honest bobcat]

When you play scout once
They try to grapple with Gunner

[lunar linden]

not shield disruption again dawg

[untold geyser]

idk why but this specific edd is so satan monster

failed 3 times in a row

4th time lost connection

[wraith wharf]

which stage?

[untold geyser]

i forget how the first team failed

2nd failure was on the 3rd stage

my team decided to do the black box before the bet-c that was sitting right next to it

you will not believe what happened next

3rd failure was when we didnt take our time with the rival turrets on the 3rd stage

and all of our corpses were near the repulsion turret

so our 4 iron wills were useless

forgot to mention the swarm that happened during that

4th attempt was in the middle of the 2nd stage and the host lost connection

[wraith wharf]

we didn't have bet c but nemesis instead

stage 2 swamers' like there's additional warning

[forest nova]

Anyone down for an EDD

[astral carbon]

Anyone else get triple rockpox swarm on stage 3 of the EDD?

Or was that just my rotten luck?

[jovial inlet]

EDD ? I didn't have much swarmers

[steel haven]

whats the dreadnought for this weeks deep dive?

on the second mission

nevermind

[atomic glen]

mustve been rotten luck, i didnt have any rockpox swarms the whole time

[eager atlas]

rng is one hell of a thing

[astral carbon]

yeah

3 rockpox swarms in a row must be insane odds

[boreal snow]

uh oh

rival presence on EDD

[atomic skiff]

Edd is kinda chill outside the stage 2 blackbox or wiping on stage 3 because a team mate decided to trigger a bet c when a swarm was comming

[drowsy solstice]

fuck the new edd

that is all

[zenith ember]

Man somehow rolled nat 1 on all 3 waves on a rival presence modifier

[astral carbon]

real

not only that but the turrets and turret controller were all the way down at the last cave

[zenith ember]

I did mention that yeah

Along w a betc beside the controller

[astral carbon]

i didnt have any struggles on the blackbox objectives

[zenith ember]

But 3 rockpox swarms is something else

[astral carbon]

yeah

never had that happen to me in my 960 hours of DRG

[eager atlas]

checking the wiki, first you need to roll 15% (or be in a litophage outbreak which isn't the case), then there's a 33-35% chance for swarms to be rockpox during that mission, so after tha 15% is just three 1/3 rolls, which isn't as unlikely, though still pretty bad

I've definetely had two in a single mission a few times, never had the luck of three though

[glossy spade]

I mean it's pretty rotten, because it's multiplicative

0.15*0.33*0.33*0.33

So ~0.005

1/200 odds

[fresh robin]

bro I had a deja vu on normal deep dive first stage

like, the map was almost the same as the one I had in a previous aquarq mission for some reason

[lean flint]

dude

why is the last mission on edd a trap

cave leach put me into a hole with like 6 rival things

and a spitballer

couldn't get out

ffs

[jovial lichen]

well, now you know, just gotta get into the cave slowly

it's indeed a death hole though

[lime hollow]

highly cursed EDD this week, a lot of challenging spawns and difficult cave generation

Got a swarmer and a mactera swarm on the last stage with all the rival enemies and the black box on stage 2 was an absolute meat grinder

I was particularly impressed with the effectiveness of our Scout. The stun sweeper was a godsend on stage 2 and 3. Really took a lot of pressure off the squad in the trenches

[jolly herald]

how is EDD this week? it looks okay tbh, looks like stage 2 would be horrific without critical

[fresh robin]

Critical Weakness on Stage 2 made the stage easier atleast. Stage 2 was tough yes, but it was managable
Stage 3 was tough though. A little tougher than Stage 2, but was still managable as my team took care of the robots while I focused on the swarm

Used my AoE generalist loadout. Carpet Bomber with Mole coilgun, thats also why I kinda struggled on Stage 3 with rival presence, but atleast I was more effective in other stages

[jolly herald]

Is turret controller in a favourable location on Stage 3?

[jolly herald]

thanks, look forward to trying it this weekend

[fresh robin]

Idk, my friend (Driller) tried to rush the turret controller but got himself downed for some reason next to the turret controller. Luckily we had Rocky Mountain beer and I had to dig my way to him to rescue

[indigo drift]

EDD this week stage 2 is manageable after finishing the black box, theres one spot with like 4 aquarks relatively near by. having a Scout and Engineer is really helpful on this one. Our overall squad had to use quite a lot of ammo on stage 2 and 3. Rivals is manageable at least as long as the team has at least someone using a ranged fire weapon or OC.

Was thinking of running Fuel stream diffuser Driller but decided to use Gunner w/ Hellfire instead due to black boxes and shield disruption combo.

[fair flicker]

How hard is the elite deep dive for a duo of two goobers

[jolly herald]

i mean its very subjective - do you often play haz 5 warnings?

[fair flicker]

No

We both have like 100 hours on the game combined😭

[jolly herald]

then especially on this week you will probably struggle

stage 3 haz 5.5 with rival presence & black box will cause problems

[fair flicker]

Oh boy

[jolly herald]

alternatively

give it a go and report findings

Rock & Stone!

[fair flicker]

[rapid solstice]

I highly recommend running skullcrusher ale this elite deep dive. So satisfying with critical weakness to one-shot slashers and guards and other bugs with a single pickaxe hit to the face. Doubly so if you run vampire for free heals.

Something like 6 hits to a Praetorian arse from full hp as well.

Skullcrusher is also fantastic without crit weakness, as it one-shots grunts, two-shots slashers, and three-shots guards.

[drowsy solstice]

Stage 2 was scuffed for us cuz we couldn't find the last aquarq so we burned through most of our nitra dealing with the swarms

left us with nothing for the bb fight, honestly stage 3 betc was a godsend, came in so clutch for us even if we died

[flint widget]

Stage 3 💀

We got unlucky enough to get a Nemesis in the room with the BETC

and then a swarm popped up

[sand juniper]

Just did the regular DD with randoms on a break before work.
If you get dark morkite then the main room on stage 1 probably has all the necessary mork so that saves a couple of minutes off the total time.
On stage 2 our scout popped the dreadnought egg by accident, but fighting the twins on the whole long passage back to spawn was absolutely fun!

[fathom shore]

Any recommendations for this weeks edd on scout?

[humble harbor]

wow, stage 3 layout is asscheeks

the next dirt tunnel after black box is up in the chasm, the dirt tunnel after that is where all the morkite is but there's also a rival controller.

[muted quiver]

be careful on the black box parts on stages 2 and 3, both are in tight spots and the glyphid spawns are right next to it

[fair flower]

We got lucky with the black box in stage 2 a bulk went off right on top of it and made more space for us lol

[lost valve]

Died mostly to fall damage, but otherwise just done with one try for this week's EDD

Duo

Actually, technically 2 tries, we just quit the first one because I fell off the chasm at the start of stage 1 lol

It was inconvenient so we just restarted

The only iron will used was when I got impatient, so I just stood up and mined a red sugar, despite the other player being on the way to revive me

[river nymph]

did normal DD, first stage mine nitra and use the turrets on the extractor to save ammo

second stage is fine, third stage was only a pain because I had no cry for mactera

[valid socket]

my fucking electricity went out on the 3rd stage nooo 😭😭

if the people i was playing with see this im sorry

[buoyant wing]

tried to solo edd and lost when a stingtail spawned and sent me out of the black box at mach 5

on stage 3 at least

[merry star]

this EDD is actually pretty chill

other than stage 2 shield disruption

that sucks

[sterile herald]

did doretta take a terrible path to the hearstone for anyone else

[sand juniper]

Finally cleared this week's EDD. The only tough part is the black box on stage 2 really. Had 3 team wipes before getting past it.

[sand juniper]

Yes lmao she's hanging over a ledge, and if you cover the hole with plats, the Ommoran shockwaves will clear it every time.

[lethal igloo]

same happened to us

[crystal haven]

the final map

vertical tunnel after the spawn

with the turrets + spitters

decimated 3 of my pugs

😫

[wraith shard]

How do I solo deep dives?

[exotic belfry]

DRG scales in enemy difficulty, so solo is only a little harder overall combat wise.

But in solo you have to do everything, so time management and multitasking is a lot more important.

The best advice I can give is to play as fast as possible, and to make heavy use of Bosco.

[buoyant wing]

in addition to what laydax said don't be afraid to call resups down, they're all for you and even just one is usually enough to sustain a whole stage/level because you get all whopping 4 pips of it
If I'm not speedrunning or in a terribly difficult stage I take a bit of extra time to slurp up all the nitra I can

other advice is super context-sensitive like this week has a point extraction with a black box, so the strat that's easiest is prep black box to defend and do it once the first swarm passes so the bugs don't absolutely overrun you

there's some stuff that's just more difficult to solo, usually because of bosco's rare limitations like bosco not being able to do as much during drilldozer missions in terms of utility, repairing doretta and firepower

having a loadout without too many "weaknesses" helps too, I got my crap kicked in because I didn't have long-range anti-armor on my pistol slot and chaos ensued, probably could have done it as gunner in retrospect with how simple the levels were

[eager atlas]

same way you do regualr missions solo

just try to do multiple things at once, and make bosco mine/carry things/build pipelines/light to search for nitra as you see fit

[solar skiff]

gawd damn this stage 2 black box is pure pain

[fresh robin]

Did a deep dive run using Scout and managed to mine almost 900 minerals in the run
somehow team was a little imcompetent so that deep dive alone lasted almost 1 hour

[zealous summit]

Does anyone think that EDD is easier than normal this week?

[stuck geyser]

mactera plague on stage 3 ruined the deep dive for me and a friend of mine

[white basin]

Is thorns, Deep pockets, veteran depositor, heightened senses and field medic good for DDE as scout?

[lean flint]

you going solo or with a squad?

[white basin]

One other person

He’s driller

[lean flint]

I use iron will, field medic, sweet tooth, resupplier, and thorns

may better to use iron will then heightened senses

since you have someone else with you

[raven carbon]

Edd this time was pretty easy

I guess our team got good rng

Was a public lobby

A couple of the other members said they got nemesis and whatnot in the third stage

It was their second try

We breezed through

Turret controller can also be disabled quite easily

I was driller just ran down and made a cave under it to hack

Also 4 out of the 6 stages this time have jet boots

That was nice

[raven carbon]

For edd it's safer to have iron will

You don't need heightened senses for this one

No leech cluster warning

[oak marsh]

Iron Will, Medic, Resupply vet, born ready, thorns or deposit vet for last. You shouldnt be taking damage as scout always grapple away then shoot if overwhelmed. Deep pockets is a D tier perk never ever

Sweet tooth is also a good option for the thorns, vet depo debate

[chilly shore]

deep pockets is like thorns tier

[white basin]

thank you all

[white basin]

thorns is bad?

[mellow cradle]

it has a 0.75s cooldown

so it's killing one swarmer at a time

[white basin]

it usually helps me with swarmers cos by accuracy isn’t that good really at least for swarmers

[chilly shore]

thorns is convenient for letting you ignore like 2 or 3 swarmers

[white basin]

and I use m1000

[mellow cradle]

for packs of swarmers, thorns doesn't help at all, and for smaller number of them, you can just pickaxe them

[oak marsh]

I think scout would be the only exception for a deepockets perk because then you dont have to grapple twice to a high up mineral spot

[mellow cradle]

scout is so fast that you can afford to take multiple trips to molly

[oak marsh]

that too

[mellow cradle]

and if the mineral is high up, you can mine it anyways, and let it fall to your team

[chilly shore]

thorns, deep pockets are both qol perks. they’re convenient but you don’t really need them
vet depositor is ok for the damage resist but it requires you to stay in a small area which is not a great thing for scout to be doing

[oak marsh]

why i dont like running deepmpockets imo

lol and stayiong on the morkite extractor / aquarq platform is pointl;ess since they crawl under and nibble your feet

[icy hollow]

people are really toxic on the EDD today

played with the same crew twice and host kept trying to bbunker the bb on stage 2

and we died last time and i said dont its a bulk on this they kicked me

[humble harbor]

bunker users when they find out about simple repellant setups

[main topaz]

imagine bunker when aquarq missions

[sand juniper]

Can you really say you're not bunkering if you're defending a narrow passage and one end of it is covered with repellant?

[icy hollow]

anyway got into a group that did not bunker and we did one two three

also where is all the morkite in the last mission lol

[mellow cradle]

near the turret controller

[icy hollow]

yeah lol

[humble harbor]

that room stinky

if you can drill to the controller its pretty much free

[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!
_ _

[crimson iris]

had a worse go of it during the DD than during the EDD this week

[mental rampart]

EDD's been rough for me cause I'm randomly getting "server lost" and getting booted out partway through

[vapid lily]

EDD this week was kinda easy for me at least
though I usually do them solo/have Bosco on hand
the black boxes always hurt though without all the crowd control stuff on engineer

[frail plinth]

it's a shame you can't rejoin public DD's

[sour steeple]

Yea sm felt so easy about this weeks elite deep dive, idk why tho

[valid socket]

god i hate it when people press buttons without asking if everyones ready

[rocky quest]

Oh yeah.

[valid socket]

we were already 3 ppl cuz someone went afk for like 20 minutes and left and our gunner just activates the black box while im down there and cant get up to it since theres 500 bugs on my ass

and then a swarm comes as well

[vapid lily]

idk, probably because most of it was pretty simple stuff, minimal headaches

first mission, one spitballer and every enemy in one room
second mission, one spitballer, and shield disruption always stinks but critical weakness is a banger and again you can see every aquarq from the main cave area

third mission was a bit tougher mostly because of the cave gen

like the big cave you have to jump into, almost didn't make it out of the mission because of that one
I called a resupply in and used the tunnel it made to platform up to the surface lol

idk will never beat this traumatic EDD from ages ago
final mission was a salvage operation in the Salt Pits, and it was like hell on earth

was when season 4 was still new, so stingtails and spreaders hadn't been nerfed/had counters added yet
and the salvage area was in a big pit so stingtails, spitters, septic spreaders, and such could easily attack us with minimal ways of returning fire

plus the cave leeches, 2 spitballers, a nexus and a bulk on the uplink every single time

[untold geyser]

i disagree

well maybe i just had bad luck

but this edd took me 5 attempts 😭

one attempt was a dc

the other 3 had something unfortunate happen

i finally beat it

face melter persistent plasma

i had zero downs while everyone else had 12+

[untold geyser]

dont remind me

some of the hardest non-modded drg ive played

[vapid lily]

I didn't really mind either enemy but combined with that cave gen, I felt like I was in the trenches

most attempts i've ever made on one mission

[untold geyser]

cave gen really makes or breaks difficulty most of the time ive found

[jolly herald]

bring more repellent

[jolly herald]

Ok just completed in 41mins

stage 2 is trivialised with good repellent setups

[lethal prism]

2nd stage feels so tough

the blackbox specifically

[wraith wharf]

ain't nothing fear coilgun can't solve

[worn quiver]

took almost 2-ish hours to clear the EDD with a crew of randos but we finally did it

[eager atlas]

oppressors

[solar skiff]

dude this stage 2 EDD black box is the worst of any deep dive ive ever done in my life

[sullen current]

Stage 2 was rough, stage 3 was cake until two hiveguards spawned out of nowhere.

[jolly herald]

2 hiveguards? yikes

[jolly herald]

what exactly are you struggling on? this was not the worst black box in recent memory personally

repellent high above either side of the 'valley' the box is in, get a driller to hollow out space for 4 chunky dwarves, dig the front flat so you have longer LOS on the bugs. Cycle your nades and use as much nitra as you need to keep shields rolling

we had a 50ish level driller and a 70ish level gunner so not the most experienced crew but managed to get it done with good prep

highly recommend going to the black box ASAP so you get it done before the aquarq waves get too spicy

[solar skiff]

the fact that the bugs spawn literally right outside of the black box zone lmao

(three times in a row a bulk det spawns right next to the black box and instakills everyone)

and when i mean right next to i mean literally right outside of the uplink zone,

[jolly herald]

this can be managed with more repellent/shields

aight bulk rng is what it is lul

we got our bulk after we finished the box, maybe you are slow to get it started?

[solar skiff]

it was the first thing we did in one of the attempts

i figured it was a designated swarm spawn

[jolly herald]

i dont know enough mechanics to say whether the bulk is tied to the box or the aquarq waves but we booked it straight to the box and had 4 guys in there the entire time, bulk spawned just as we finished and ran out

[solar skiff]

same haha, i dont know too much about it

but man maybe im just unlucky

ill keep trying

[jolly herald]

3 in a row seems kinda cursed

maybe send a scout to try to kite it next time idk

[solar skiff]

maybe

[pliant zealot]

does each next deep dive mission get harder or is it similiar?

[jolly herald]

DD is 3, 3.5, 3.5
EDD is 4.5, 5, 5.5

[pliant zealot]

do i have to complete the deep dive in one try or can i pause it and continue later?

[jolly herald]

its 3 connected live missions, if you fail one you have to start from the beginning, but you do get rewards for completing each mission as you go so you don't have to finish to get the empty/weapon core

[pliant zealot]

i mean if i dont leave or lose, can i pause and come back later?

[jolly herald]

if you are solo you can pause the game but you can't leave mid dive and continue where you left off

[pliant zealot]

ok, thanks, i'll pause it then

[fresh robin]

you think the current deep dive for the experimental server will pass down to next week's deep dive?

like we have Rancid View on the experimental server, how about for the main public one?

[proud zealot]

its called Fathomless Avalanche on public side

[worn quiver]

driller came in clutch for S2. we drilled our black box downwards to limit spawns and keep them out

[honest bobcat]

That was a weird box ngl
All enemies were coming from the same side, never from the tunnel

So as engie with repellant it was a nice chokepoint to mag dump into

[jolly herald]

Extra wide plasma trail roll control breach cutter was doing work here

[honest bobcat]

spwwwpwwiiiwwinnn

[jolly herald]

there arent many times you can spam bc and be 100% sure you are going to hit something with every click... this was one of those times and it was

[wraith shard]

when is it next deep dive? I am not near my pc so cant check

[honest bobcat]

In 3 days maybe?
2 or 3 days

[jolly herald]

13th June 12:00

[high storm]

first run of EDD I got more kills as scout than a diller or gunner

[summer idol]

elite deep dive this week is ver easy

[eager atlas]

you can just leave the area while it explodes, you can even fail a blackbox, it's not a main objective so you can just repeat it

[eager atlas]

it's just random, only static spawns are fixed, and even those change sometimes for some reason

[mellow cradle]

actually, are enemy pools a part of the seed?
I am not sure myself, but anecdotically, I remember getting the exact same special and disruptive slots as the people here

[eager atlas]

yes, enemy pools belong to the map

[mellow cradle]

k, good to finally know for sure

[eager atlas]

so bulks are in the pool, and so they will spawn at random, blackbox just has frequent spawns so you are likely to get one during it, but it's not guaranteed

[solar skiff]

damn i didnt know that, ive always been too scared to try it

[solar skiff]

very useful info, thank you

[warm cliff]

Anyone looking for a gunner on pc?

[exotic belfry]

#lfg-steam

[mellow cradle]

<@&296918282403840000> in multiple channels

[autumn spear]

True, just soloed it as engi. Wasnt a walk in the park, but rather easy.

[lethal igloo]

Got beaten up by surprise triple oppressors on blackbox last time I tried it, will try again

[manic pivot]

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

[wraith shard]

On third stage deep dive
Can't find one of the goddamn mini mules

I found and fixed one, the other one seems to just not have spawned

Nvm gf found it after we looked for like 10 mins

[crimson iris]

I wish mini mules showed up on map better

I may just be blind

But there's been times where all the legs are highlighted but i can't refind the mule

[proud zealot]

lol

close your eyes and open your ears

the mini mules have beacons

[sand juniper]

Don't remember if it's on this week's DD or EDD but one of the mini mules on it is placed way up a thick branch while all its legs are close to cave ground level; having the driller (or anyone) fall the mule down is easier than carrying all the legs up.

Oh it's on EDD stage 1.

[lavish vine]

hey do we need 1 of every class to complete a edd

[sand juniper]

No.

[lavish vine]

for this weeks edd what class do we not need

i would assume driller

[sand juniper]

Ditch gunner.

Or engineer.

[lavish vine]

why?

so scout or driller?

what about bet c

betsy is a game ender

[sand juniper]

I'd say Gunner because there are no boss enemies. There are two black boxes to defend though. One of them is on a stage with shield disruption. If you really want the Gunner shields there then ditch engi.

I think Driller is good to have because you need crowd control and many times the Driller can get eggs/aquarqs faster than the Scout.

[lavish vine]

but scout is needed for light

[sand juniper]

Why do you want to not have a given class? You want to trio it?

[lavish vine]

nah

just wondering

cus im constantly having to either be driller or engi

and im wondering if i can just not be them

[sand juniper]

IMO the scout flares aren't really needed, I don't even need them when playing as scout myself, the regular flares + natural lighting are good enough most of the time.

Like I'm not saying scout flares are worthless, I'm saying they've never been a make or break for me.

But that's just me.

[lavish vine]

to me they are needed to easily see cave leeches

[crimson iris]

just cryo dps, I almost wiped it while it was waking up

ice storm or something

it's been weird returning to drg and being kinda bad at the game

I feel like a relatively fresh greenbeard despite being around 120 blue rank

[lavish vine]

same

im lv 60 and kinda new

[gusty spindle]

this edd is no joke

I keep wiping at the black box in stage 3

it's such a bad area

[jolly herald]

The answer to your problems is repellent

[manic pivot]

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

[eager atlas]

if the team stays together leeches will rarely kill you, they also glow and make a sound, and honestly are rare enough to be a real concern

[elfin mural]

"And make a sound"
Stop the cap, that bug hasn't been fixed since season 3 lmao
Unless it has been on the test servers

[eager atlas]

it makes a sound, sometimes

still, the other points still apply

there's a mod that changes the leech sound area thing if you don't mind playing with mods

[elfin mural]

Honestly I probably should do a specific leech mod. I have a few mods but they're all visual or audio (i.e. bonk power attack sfx, white stingtail, sprint by default, etc)

[eager atlas]

sprint by default shouldn't be a mod, same for ammo percent indicator, but

[elfin mural]

Oh yeah ammo percent is great

[untold topaz]

Idk if nemesis is set for the EDD but somehow I ended up having to fight 2 (stage 1 and stage 3 + BET-C)

[elfin mural]

Oof

[untold topaz]

Okay cool guessing I’m just unlucky lmao

[hearty geyser]

it's random, but it has a higher chance of spawn in Rival Presence modifiers iirc

[untold topaz]

Ah yeah that’s fair on the third stage then

[hearty geyser]

but yeah, just unlucky

the bet-c seems to be very common in third stage tho

I wanna say it's fixed, but didn't actually check if anyone here had it not spawn at the end

[untold topaz]

Baller I’m lucky the random scout I was with was able to clutch it up

And yeah that’s definitely something to wonder since I seem to come across it pretty often on other deep dives as well

[hearty geyser]

my only guess is that since the hazard is higher, it increases chances of dangerous enemies to spawn

I bump into Nemesis and bet-c a lot on haz 5 missions

[fading swan]

does anyone want to do an elite deep dive

[lucid frost]

if someone, god forbid, solo EDD

nvm im just gonna go turret discharge

[gusty plank]

Nah I’d win

[eager atlas]

there's less bugs in solo and bosco can help a lot, so solo dives aren't really harder

[proud zealot]

bosco has those guaranteed revives too

honestly not a bad idea

[lucid frost]

what in god's name was that escort mission

[zenith ember]

Seems to be a coin flip, i got betc 3rd stage on my run

[zenith ember]

Off all the funny 360 spins and straight vertical dorettas i have seen, this dd takes the cake of drilling through the ommoran bed

I didnt even know that was possible

[lucid frost]

this DD needs to be preserved

lkke idk record it

"ending season 4 with a banger of an escort mission"

[jolly harbor]

it can be different with different player counts as well as between different platforms

[jolly herald]

not me falling down that hole over and over again after platforming it and forgetting i have hover boots

I left my brain on the space rig for that escort

[reef girder]

will the new deep dives feature new season 5 content at all? or is it left up to chance still

[jolly harbor]

i think they added a new second primary obj to deep dives but it isnt for the new mission type

[reef girder]

i can tell you for sure but only if you don't mind that spoiler

also by "new deep dives" i specifically mean this weeks dives, as they reset when season 5 launches

not deep dives in general

[jolly harbor]

please tell me its gonna be updated soon anyways

[jolly harbor]

i dont think the devs are manually picking a seed to show off new features it is probably just random like normal

[reef girder]

||two new secondaries: a single liquid morkite where a tiny refinery is sent down, and a single deep scan secondary. the liquid morkite objective is the same as the full refinery mission, except the refinery itself is a rocket, and no hordes happen.||

[jolly harbor]

woah i cant wait to see the model for that it sounds cute

[zenith ember]

If it bugs out like early s4 it would be p funny

Like the pretty high chance of IS being primary

[manic pivot]

[crude portal]

who's gonna be the first to finish the season 5 deep dive?

[indigo drift]

I'll be the last because I'm gonna be busy messing around with new overclocks and DLC skins

[drifting tinsel]

who do i have to pester to get emotes for the new DD objectives? i want my silly resonance scanner emoji so the DD info looks pretty

[burnt sandal]

make good emotes and throw them the way of a moderator and we'll see

[drifting tinsel]

yes sir 🫡

[manic pivot]

_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
New Deep Dives are now available!
_ _

[jolly herald]

what did they cook for first week

[iron quartz]

thank you mission control

[indigo drift]

waiting for Hack C to update the game so we can check what dive we get

[drifting tinsel]

same here (；・∀・) DD info will probably be up about ten minutes later than usual depending on how long it'll take to fetch new info

[jolly herald]

can anyone complete EDD before the post goes up

[jolly swallow]

[wraith wharf]

not fair the post only need to finish 2 stages

oh i forgot the dread

hold on

[slender locust]

Sorry, the custom deep dive seed got delayed for this launch so it's actually different 😅

[drifting tinsel]

NOOOOOOOOOOO

[slender locust]

https://tenor.com/view/sassy-gif-25178355

[hearty geyser]

Deep scan with no shields, going strong right out of the gate

[glossy spade]

I was hoping there would be a custom seed for this week >:D

I was just imagining no deep scan in either mission lol

[slender locust]

Yeah, I think it's nice that we look for a good one before release so people can play the new content in the deepdives.

[jolly herald]

So it is or isn't this?

[drifting tinsel]

it is NOT that

i'm fetching new info once i figure out what mods are breaking my game (´・д・｀) sit tight, info is coming in hopefully soon

[slender locust]

Sorry again @drifting tinsel and thanks for making the nice deepdive lists ♥️

[quaint pasture]

me pleading to Karl that sprint by default isnt the one caushing crashes

[honest bobcat]

Hmmm
Wouldn't blood sugar be negative, since it poisons you?

[sterile charm]

Are deepdives like raids?

[mellow cradle]

they are 3 missions back to back with shared resources
better explanation here: #deep-dive-discussion message

[drifting tinsel]

all anomalies are either positive or neutral, like how volatile guts can deal damage to both you and other enemies if you're close enough

okay, let's try this again

Weekly Deep Dives information for 2024 June 13 to 2024 June 20 (Week 247)
Deep Dives will reset <t:1718881200:f>

DEEP DIVE
Region: Magma Core | Code Name: Everlasting Head
Stage 1: 2 Dreadnoughts (Twins + Hiveguard) + 2 Resonance Crystals | Swarmageddon
Stage 2: 3 Resonance Crystals + Liquid Morkite Well | Rival Presence
Stage 3: 250 Morkite + 2 Resonance Crystals | No Mutator

ELITE DEEP DIVE
Region: Salt Pits | Code Name: Crying Comeback
Stage 1: 5 Resonance Crystals + 150 Morkite | Low Gravity Mactera Plague
Stage 2: 200 Morkite + 2 Resonance Crystals | Swarmageddon
Stage 3: 6 Eggs + Liquid Morkite Well | No Mutator

[mellow cradle]

nice

[hearty geyser]

Nice, more scans this time

[mellow cradle]

so if the resonance crystals are the main objective, then we get the drillevator section, and if they are secondary, then we don't?

[slender heart]

Correct.

If they are secondary, you just hook them up.

[honest bobcat]

I mean negative in the same way shield disruption is
You take 30% less DMG but you don't have shield

Blood sugar is more of a downside since you have to keep killing, or die

[mellow cradle]

I am also interested in how secondary morkite wells work

[mellow cradle]

bugs trickle in quicker on blood sugar missions

to keep you supplied with hp

[hearty geyser]

You call the extractor and you get a minipod with the pump

No swarms or anything

[mellow cradle]

do I have to defend it / fix it?

[hearty geyser]

Nop

[slender heart]

Blood Sugar is most certainly an upside. You are basically immortal after just a few hordes.

[mellow cradle]

also constant speed buff with sweet tooth

[drifting tinsel]

blood sugar is great with lots of bugs, the ground is littered in sugar so you're almost always at full health unless you're taking big hits

[glossy spade]

"Everlasting Head"

Nice.

[fringe thistle]

Cryo vamp drillers laughing in the corner

[honest bobcat]

Shits and giggles until swarmers
...and also your teammates killing the frozen bugs before you can eat melee them

[misty glacier]

so in stage 3 dd, where the heck is the crystal near droppod?

[fringe thistle]

Wavecooker

Bottom text

[misty glacier]

we dug out the whole place but idk

[fringe thistle]

Tru tho, teammates killin all my food

[honest bobcat]

I sure hope you're not relying on wavecooker to proc vampire

[fringe thistle]

No lol, for swarmers i meant

[honest bobcat]

Ngl they could make the beam wider by default
Or have the reticle reflect the beams width more accurately

[fringe thistle]

Snowball+wide radius diffusion cooker gives great ranged coverage, while high freeze + drills gives regen/close range

IKR

give me massive cylinder

[misty glacier]

any chance the droppod carve removed the crystal?

[fringe thistle]

Uhhh

Good question

I dont think it would?

Do yall have a driller?

[misty glacier]

ye me

the place is a hole

[fringe thistle]

[misty glacier]

did anyone complete normal dd yet

[fringe thistle]

I wish, ill be running it later with the bois

[misty glacier]

either were rly blind or its just bugged

[honest bobcat]

I think some people will want to kill me if I say I use tuned cooler

[misty glacier]

huh ig theres more than 2 crystals?

[mental rampart]

In the EDD, one of the Morkite Seeds was under the Drillevator

Took us a bit

[misty glacier]

normal dd

we still finished cuz there are apparently more than 2 but one of them seems to have gotten removed by the droppod

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/565850434376302613/1250784354553172079/image.png?ex=666c3334&is=666ae1b4&hm=479c297b920a89dc5ec83e2acd77ff4ce5c83406b8ec99266dd4b3446e867381&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1068&height=601

i dont think we just missed it lmao

[honest bobcat]

Can they be moved?
Like if you dig under it do they fall down

[fringe thistle]

True chad drillers will bring Ice Spear for the (while frozen) raw 1.2k damage mega shot

[honest bobcat]

Blistering necrosis

[fringe thistle]

Tuned cooler good for giga freeze, especially a boss build

Necrosis is hilarious

[honest bobcat]

My build is turned cooler & mega supply
Used to have necrosis but
Took too long to proc

[fringe thistle]

Yeah

I like diffusion cause i can just proc temp shock so quickly on a whole swarm

Or clear swarmers/shockers so easily

[mellow cradle]

please consider using boiler ray with cryo
the triple damage makes it easy to kill enemies, and the explosions clears additional bugs

[honest bobcat]

Shits and giggles until I'm stuck trying to kill a frozen but with cooker

[mellow cradle]

not to mention that frozen is a harder status to apply than on fire, so I think exothermal reactor is best paired with a fast heating crispr build

[jolly herald]

wait

low grav mactera plague drillevator?

[knotty shuttle]

on site refining has a secondary now

or was it always like this

[mellow cradle]

it's new

[jolly herald]

new, check patch notes

its quite mid tho

no bug waves

no repairs

just build and move on

[knotty shuttle]

didn't read

[jolly herald]

yeah, saying its worth a look

some useful stuff in there

[fringe thistle]

Well, i guess if it spawns in a good spot you could use the pipe to skateboard for the main objective

[knotty shuttle]

okay man

[honest bobcat]

Fire temp shock is kinda meh since they already die from burning

[fringe thistle]

The patch notes are a LOOONG read, i only read it all cause i like to know changes

[mellow cradle]

but it's good for single target dmg on praetorians (or other large targets that can be ignited)

[jolly herald]

can you plat the drillevator floor? otherwise on low grav im 100% going to kill myself

[fringe thistle]

Sticky flames + fire temp shock good for praetorian

The sticky kills swarm easy too

Need the OC to really abuse tho

[honest bobcat]

Would rather use volatil pistol tbh
...I forgor the name of the pistol

[fringe thistle]

If i had to guess, probably not since plats stick to terrain and are stationary

[fringe thistle]

Explosive reload for subata?

[knotty shuttle]

the pumping sequence is like 5 seconds long

what a lame objective

[jolly herald]

yup

[fringe thistle]

Oh you mean the t5 fire boost

[honest bobcat]

T5 ye

[jolly herald]

quite a big let down in an otherwise pog season

the fact you get no bug waves or anything sucks

[honest bobcat]

Volatil boolets

[jolly herald]

at least trigger a swarm when you pump

[fringe thistle]

Hope they add a bug wave trigger

[jolly herald]

seems such a weird decision

[fringe thistle]

Gunner OC still much funnier, wish it was like that (obviously not that insane but still)

[honest bobcat]

One normal swarm, one reparation

[jolly herald]

deep dive mules, eggs, black boxes etc all get swarms

[honest bobcat]

I mean
Gunner's is an OC

[fresh tangle]

Im so confuse with perform deep scans

[fringe thistle]

True

[knotty shuttle]

i'm not a fan of the cave generation of deep scan

it's so confusing

[fringe thistle]

Either way, im just happy they reworked subata, it needed it badly

[misty glacier]

they did?

[zenith ember]

The closer you are to shiny stone the more the bar it fills

[slender heart]

You'll adapt to it as you play more.

[zenith ember]

Then mine as close as possible

[fresh tangle]

But where do i know to dig?

[jolly herald]

i dont think they did?

[zenith ember]

Usually below you

[fresh tangle]

Like ye, it flashing all right but where?

[fringe thistle]

They did a while back

[jolly herald]

oh

[fringe thistle]

Not this update

[jolly herald]

i thought you meant this patch

[fringe thistle]

Oh nah

[zenith ember]

Like a somewhat small area near you when the bar fills(similar to minerals like enor)

If you are standing on flat area the only possible place is below you for example

The icons beside the bar also tells you if its above, below or on the same level(prob under your feet)

[burnt sandal]

this isn't #drg-chat 2.0, please move the conversation to the right place.

[zenith ember]

There is resonance crystal for this dive

P sure its relevant to how its done

[cold kindle]

Oh my god

New mission type also present in EDD and DD

And on-site refining as secondary?

This look fun

[jolly herald]

the EDD drill section with low grav and mactera plague sounds insane tbh

[knotty shuttle]

it's more disappointing than you'd think

but it's a secondary now i guess

[old nexus]

It's eh

[gritty pawn]

Is anyone elses stage 3 deep dive bugged?

Our pod went throught the crystal and destroyed it when we were landing

To be safe i put spoilers cause idk

I cant send screenshots of it but i have 2

[hot gazelle]

You can unspoiler that

Also I'm sad I was wrong that the new deep dive secondary objectives don't include Oil Shale mining

[gritty pawn]

I made a bug report for it

Do all drop pods in deep dives land in the same spot or was it just coincidental to my run?

[gritty pawn]

Got one for ||morkite wells|| which was pretty cool

[hot gazelle]

Yeah, that is pretty interesting. I'm looking forward to playing it.

[jolly herald]

this would be cool actually

[honest bobcat]

Like
Where would you get the canister from

[gritty pawn]

A little pod maybe

Like the contamination cleanser pod things

[atomic skiff]

stage 3 deep dive seems a bit buggy deep scan was under the drop pod but nowhere to be found also trying to dig glitches you through the terrain

[gritty pawn]

Same thing happened to me

[honest bobcat]

and it would be called, or spawn by itself?

[gritty pawn]

A guy was digging and glitched through but i thouhgt it might just be lag

[gritty pawn]

I guess maybe when you find oil shale you hold your interact key to call one

[pure fractal]

molly has some hoses for you

[jolly herald]

called when in proximity to a shale node

[mental rampart]

ok we found the crystal in the last cave

but then it crashed

the 2nd crystal

DD

[honest bobcat]

Hmm
Had a case on a caretaker
Terrain was clipping through the vault, walking on it caused violent clipping
However it was only visible for me, everyone else was fine

[hot gazelle]

Drill-rocket that needs launching back to the space rig but has to be fuelled on-site with oil shale. It spawns in the cave like the black boxes do.

[gritty pawn]

If it was just you it maybe could have been a mod thing?

[honest bobcat]

Don't have mod

[gritty pawn]

Damn

[jolly herald]

id prefer they make morkite refinery secondary more interesting before adding oil shale but thats a discussion for a different thread

[honest bobcat]

Weird terrain gen
Like it should've been deleted for the vault generation

[hot gazelle]

Were you the host?

[honest bobcat]

Neither

And it only applied for that very specific part of the cave, everywhere else was dine

[gritty pawn]

Fair it was kind of just the same kind of thing as the crystal thing

[hot gazelle]

Terrain that still appears to exist for guests but isn't actually there, I've seen that before. Normally it has no collision.

Could you stand on the glitched terrain? Or did you just go right through it?

[jolly herald]

nah i agree, im all for more extras but morkite secondary feels meh

[honest bobcat]

Yeah collision was bugged
But to the point it caused me to clip and fall thru the whole map

[gritty pawn]

I think it maybe could have been sort of like a mini plagueheart meteor thing with a swarm

[honest bobcat]

Sorry didn't see your next msg, it was kinda both
Didn't clip outright, it was violent rubber banding

[mental rampart]

just finished the regular deep dive

[hot gazelle]

Oh, weird. That's a new bug. It might be caused by the host running mods via a third-party mod sideloader, did the lobby have [MODDED] in the name?

Phantom terrain for guests isn't uncommon but I've never known it to have collision before.

[honest bobcat]

I don't remember, sadly I rarely read the lobbies names
But I don't remember seeing any modded content either so
Normally the big is only visual?

[wind dirge]

regular deep dive mission 3 got softlocked cause one of the resonance crystals didn't spawn

probably because of the drop pod

a teammate kept getting the signal for it and dug where it was supposed to be, but as host i didnt even get the signal

[misty glacier]

there are extra crystals so you arent softlocked

but its defo a bug

[wind dirge]

that's the thing, how am i supposed to find them

i did one crystal and the scanner got stuck and couldn't find another one

[mental rampart]

for me there was one crystal partway through, and then another crystal in the last room

dont even bother with the signal in the spawn room, there's no crystal there

[lost valve]

So how does the crystals work for DDs

Does it include the drillevator?

Or just hooking up crystals

[wind dirge]

if it's a secondary objective it's just the crystals

if it's primary then drillevator appears after crystals and the secondary is done

[manic horizon]

How to deal with the broken sensor on the third stage (normal deepdive) ? It's pointing to the non-existent crystal

[fathom shore]

how was the dd and edd compared with last weeks

[lost valve]

Ah okay, that makes sense

[velvet harbor]

Does your game crash too when you launch a new mission with the old season activated?

[wraith sequoia]

time to duo EDD, dude

[drifting tinsel]

unfortunately you just have to ignore it :| once you're far enough away from the ghost-crystal the sonar starts tracking another crystal instead

[manic horizon]

Well, it was actually bugged only for me, so my friend saved the day

[lean light]

same thing happened for us, wasted 50 minutes to lose all progress and be stuck because the drop pod was on the crystal and the host didnt get the signal... rip

[exotic birch]

holy shit new liquid morkite secondary

[lavish vine]

in this weeks dd did the last crystal get destroyed by the drop pod

GUYS PLEASE IM IN THE LAST MISSION

did the last crystal get destroyed

[sand juniper]

☝️

Just go and get another crystal.

Same as with aquarqs and secondary objectives, there's always more than you need.

[cyan birch]

Didn't they put aquark style hints to where the crystals are?

[flint widget]

Ye

It's just pipe building + placing

for a well

[proud zealot]

ikr

[exotic birch]

ye a lil short tbh, woulda preferred if it took a little longer, like maybe 30s with maybe 1 break in the pipe

[lean thistle]

anyone else have a bugged deep scan proximity in regular dd stage 3?

thinking maybe the escape pod broke it when landing?

[dusty python]

anyone's deep dive progress got reset?

already did both but they are now different and incomplete?

[nova pasture]

has anyone been unable to pick up minerals dropped by bosco or loot bugs since the update

[stable bear]

Deep dives reset every week

[dusty python]

yeah but I just cleared the one with the drillelevator

but it now mentions that I haven't

[lost valve]

UNLIMITED CORES

[pseudo orbit]

me

[lunar linden]

yeah it shows near the landing zone but its not

its weird

[modest cargo]

what mission types are in the elite deep dive?

[lunar linden]

pinned message

[fierce sorrel]

think im getting that rn

there is another crystal in the final room of the cave

[vernal widget]

where is the crystal in normal dd stage 3??? i feel like pod broke it

nvm there was another

[honest bobcat]

Ye you need to go much further, there should be more Cristals to compensate for the missing one

[rapid quail]

Awful first attempt at the Deep Dive. Scout went AFK mid-Stage 2 to eat a full meal for about 15 minutes....Right as a Nemesis spawned- and then when we were finally starting the Drillevator, there was a lag spike and we got booted

[violet haven]

no it does spawn, it's just lower in the level

[exotic belfry]

When finding resonace crystals its a good idea to have the driller drill tunnels between room in its direction, as that prevents you from wandering off the wrong way

[violet warren]

"Players will be able to rejoin a deep dive if they get disconnected" my ass, I didn't even get the option when it happened this week

Why does DRG sometimes just not let you reconnect

[raven carbon]

The new season is a bit buggy it should get fixed soon I'm guessing

[violet warren]

Was this deep dive deliberately seeded to have all of the new content in the dive?

[violet warren]

Wait, is this dive bugged and unwinnable?

[fluid aurora]

regular dive worked fine for me yesterday

there was a bug on stage 3 where the radar said there was a crystal right around spawn but there was nothing

everyone except for the host saw it

but we found enough crystals for it anyways

so maybe a client bug

[carmine island]

I'm at a lost. Final stage of the Deep Dive. The Resonance Scanner is going crazy right at where the Drop Pod landed. But I'm finding nothing.

[fluid aurora]

same thing happened to me

just go to another part of the cave

theres nothing there [citation needed]

[carmine island]

So why is it going off?

[fluid aurora]

its bugged

why else

season dropped like yesterday its bound to happen

[reef girder]

https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-2316

Please report this here as well with evidence if you can, hopefully we can get a reset? i've heard this breaking the mission

[fluid aurora]

ohh wait

i think yo umight be right - the drop pod landed on a crystal and fucking obliterated it lmao

idk why people are saying it's impossible though - my team completed it fine, we just found another crystal

[split ginkgo]

So like, what do you do if the cystal got smashed by the drop pod (I'm on the last mission for the regular DD)

Nvm got it

[quaint pasture]

that EDD stage 2 was so quick

[azure wraith]

does the EDD have deep scan?

with drillevator

or is it just find resonance crystals

I assume it's the latter

[mellow cradle]

it's the former (on the first stage)

[quaint pasture]

1 drillevator and 1 scan secondary

[mellow cradle]

since it's the main objective

[quaint pasture]

stage 1 is the primary and stage 2 is the secondary one

[azure wraith]

got it

[weary bronze]

Does anyone else have it that their regular deep dives crash after the first stage?

[mellow cradle]

didn't happen to me

[weary bronze]

Weird

[summer idol]

Its very possible

[summer idol]

Thats not true, its 2 crystals and you can scan both. Me as the host didn't got the scanner bug after i scanned the first crystal, all my teammates did tho

[thick blade]

Does anyone one know if the new season 5 mission have been added to deep dives

[burnt sandal]

it has

[mellow cradle]

the deeps dives this week have a purposefully chosen seed this week to show off deep scan, and the liquid morkite secondary

[thick blade]

Cool

Should be interesting to see how they they work into the deep dive format

[mellow cradle]

oh, and a heads up

the resonance crystals at the 3rd stage of the refular DD are bugged, there is no crystal at spawn, despite what the scanner says

simply move ahead

[thick blade]

Shouldn’t you put that in #report-a-bug

[mellow cradle]

I probably should

but I assume people have already done so

and I don't have the mission details on hand right now

[burnt sandal]

great then, it means you can contribute to the existing report to make sure it gets confirmed and fixed

[naive compass]

so the deep scan on stage 3 of the normal deep dive, how would we complete it if the drop pod dropped on one of the crystal

nvm we found the second

[amber spoke]

hey sorry to ping you, im having the exasct same problem atm

[naive compass]

just keep going and there is another one to get

[amber spoke]

so just run out of range of the first?

[naive compass]

yeah

[amber spoke]

got it, tysm

[junior pendant]

the mini liquid morkite extraction is cute

[meager field]

hi everyone, is someone looking forward to go into a normal deep dive right now?

[ornate jungle]

i'm doing the regular deep dive, and after activating the 3 resonance crystals, the drillevator hasn't come down, has this happened to anyone else?

[mellow cradle]

didn't happen to me

are you sure they are fully activated?

the connected plug needs to be built

[ornate jungle]

yep! even has the prompt to 'activate the drillevator' in the top right

[mellow cradle]

hmmm

[ornate jungle]

alas, no drillevator is present

[mellow cradle]

the only thing that's left is to make a report in #report-a-bug then, I think

[ornate jungle]

hmm okay

[low plover]

Make sure to make screenshots

[mellow cradle]

ye

[ornate jungle]

it seems we are fools, we didn't realise that you had to complete the secondary objective before the drillevator could spawn, cheers

[mellow cradle]

oh

[flint widget]

Dang the shellbacks were the worst on the EDD

[mellow cradle]

I find it very funny how shellbacks instantly die when touching the drillevator lol

[raven carbon]

For missions that trigger endgame sequence you must do the secondary before starting it, like escort for example

[slender heart]

@mellow jasper get a role in #welcome-and-rules.

[vapid coral]

BRO

we got owned by them rolly boys last night

Killed on last stage

sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh

🤮

[lean light]

I'm honestly curious now to go and try it again with my friends to see if it happens again a d we can get it to spawn, just much further. We kind of abandoned early last time 😅

[cyan birch]

Speaking of, that blacklist of enemies on the drillevator, yeah I got both of them together

[jolly herald]

I personally think drillevator shellback thunder dome would be fun as hell

[minor ingot]

Hey everyone, sorry if this isn't the right place to ask but... I think my drillevator in the normal Deep Dive Stage 2 didn't spawn. At least i don't see it on the map. Is there anything i can do about this other than restart the whole deep dive? Because i'd rather not restart the whole deep dive tbh.

[mellow cradle]

is your secondary objective finished?

[minor ingot]

The morkite well? Yeah. I just finished that after the crystals.

[mellow cradle]

hmmm

and the objective in the top right says "activate the drillevator"?

[minor ingot]

yes

[mellow cradle]

hmmm, idk then

if the well was done pumping, you should've gotten the drillevator

did you uncover the entire map?

maybe the elevator spawned in some yet unexplored part

[minor ingot]

Not yet, i'll check though. And if i can't find it, oh well. I'll live. :,D

Hmm, looks like i'll have to restart the DD. If it's there i can't find it anywhere. Thanks for the help, though, i appreciate it.

[jolly herald]

Thought I failed deep dive then

Sneaky Russian host changed lobby to elite dive without me noticing

Was running meme build

Thinking hmm this new patch is hella difficult

[fierce spruce]

2nd level of deep dive, is anyone having trouble finding the last seed?

nvm, dumb team mate had it for like 30 minutes w/ out noticing

[fathom coral]

new OCs, back on the grind then

can't wait

[slender geode]

did anyone else have a bulk det on the second stage? i managed to power attack it to death because I had no ammo

[proud zealot]

[fair flower]

This feels like a very curated non random deep dive lol

So many of the new objectives

[solid oyster]

just got attacked by a bunch of acid spitters, an opresssor, two pretoreans, and a nemsis while going down the drillevator. 10/10 would recommend

[zenith ember]

edd first stage has so much nitra woo

[indigo drift]

EDD 2nd stage is the shortest stage I've ever had, that or my team was efficient

[indigo crater]

Truly terraria hellevator experience

[fresh robin]

I dont know why there were Jet Boots at 2nd stage EDD. They were like so unnecessary for the small caves in the map

If it was some mission where it required us to explore a very large cave, I would understand. But the cave system is to small to explore around or even use Jet Boots

Overall, this EDD was quite fun. The 1st stage really sold it with 5 resonance crystals

[lost valve]

Well, it's not like deep dives are handmade

[indigo crater]

I dare say this week deep dive was pretty comfy

[jolly herald]

Random seeds my dude

[fresh robin]

Random seeds? How come it was almost the exact same cave as my 1st and 2nd attempt?

yeah I got it on 2nd attempt. 1st attempt I made a run-ending mistake which lead to a domino of my team dying

[fluid aurora]

each weekly deep dive is randomly generated and they only change every week

[mellow cradle]

this week's one was

[mellow cradle]

.

[lost valve]

Look for a good one?

So handpicked randomly generated ones?

[mellow cradle]

yes

[lost valve]

Then there's that

It's not like they deliberately added the jetboots on a small cave still

[mellow cradle]

true

[jolly herald]

[smoky gorge]

This week elite deep dive is chill af if you want an easy less than 45 min deep dive you should do it

[thin sage]

where's the morkite well in the second stage deep dive?

[fluid aurora]

it should show on the map

[trail pivot]

the deep dive is all crystals!

where my lithobig

[twilit birch]

everlasting head is crazy

[frail garden]

is the deep dive still bugged or did they fix it

last time i played the drop pod fell on a resonance crystal

[copper ruin]

i had a nemesis spawn in the morkite seed pit

hilarious

[vague tree]

any advice for someone who just unlocked deep dives?

[mellow summit]

Is there any constant way to find overclock's?

[mossy hemlock]

Not really the only ones you useally get are the ones at the end

[gusty spindle]

yeah i had one three times in a row and wiped every time

then i didnt get it and won

all skill babee

[gusty spindle]

grab every OUNCE of nitra you find, and play with a team even if its randoms

[west merlin]

Normal ones are basically 3 haz 3 missions in a row, so if you can do Haz 3 missions reliably you should be fine, just try to save nitra at the end of stages 1 and 2 because it carries over

[west merlin]

There's no way to get one specific overclock, you just gotta get a lot and try out whatever you get, most of them are fun.

[humble harbor]

you can now drill under the drillevator without dying to grab them

[lethal igloo]

wa

[old helm]

MRW Rival Presence can spawn a Nemesis when going down the Drillivator

[sage pine]

dude WHERE IS THE MINI REFINERY on the 2nd dd stage

swear to god this is the worst cave layout to get this secondary on

ooooh my god i'm stupid lol jsjsjs

[sage pine]

that was certainly quite a lot of res crystal scanning

[honest hedge]

Is it just me or is the Deep Dive map for DRG on console kinda ass

[cyan birch]

For me it was the resonance crystals, I think maybe they overlapped or something but I was turning in circles for like 5 minutes I just abandoned the mission

[rugged sigil]

There were 2 within 20 meters of each other

[near kite]

That happened to me this morning. Engie brought a shard diffractor though - good for chunking it early.

[humble harbor]

on EDD? yeah the salt pits caves can be stinky

if you're driller, try tunneling to a different section if you suspect it's down

[idle frigate]

since when can the On Site Refinery be a secondary?

[mellow cradle]

since season 5

[fathom coral]

DDs weren't bad at all, pretty easy. I just wish randos knew how to find the scans better, but in due time xD

mortar rounds seem ok so far, not really notable, can't wait to see how the others pan out

[mellow cradle]

I wish randos wouldn't spread out during deep scan, and then you have to go rescue them through the maze when they inevitably die

[fathom coral]

i normally Scout and cryo/phero their area and pick em up

just varies how it plays out

[mellow cradle]

the issue is getting to them

[fathom coral]

ya, Scout go zooom

[empty fractal]

bug

[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!
_ _

[tacit jungle]

EDD wasn't too bad, second room on stage 3 had like 4 leeches

[mellow cradle]

you must be imagining things
or, when you use explosions, the minerals get blown away, and you don't get all of the resource unless you find all of the scattered fragments
that might be why you are inclined to think these methods are less effective

yes, the total is the same
provided you collect all the chunks

the best way to test this would be to get into a deep dive, since the seed will be the same, so the resource veins will be exactly the same
then you can mine the same vein with some method, abort the mission, and try again

and compare

yup

but anecdotically people think it's less, because well, it's harder to collect

[frozen chasm]

One exception is pots o' gold, that buff only applies to the pickaxe. Otherwise, afaik, it's always the same regardless of how it's mined. You get fewer actual chunks, probably, since they tend to clump together, and if you miss just one it's probably a decent value.

[mellow cradle]

yes

chunks mined with explosions are more compacted

can be ~8 units per piece

yeah, I always mine protruding minerals like magnite, umanite from the bottom

[wraith shard]

i feel so dumb rn, im trying to do one of the deep dive. But idk how to preform a deep scan 😭

[mystic knot]

that's those where you find the hidden gems with your tlepathy right?

[wraith shard]

idk this is the first time im doing this mission

[mystic knot]

ah alright fair

there's 3 of em right?

[wraith shard]

yes

[mystic knot]

alright

little gauge on your top left will indicate slightly where to go

with either up, doiwn markers or a start for same fllor

I think

and thenit beeps as you get closer

and then it's just did

[wraith shard]

oh okie thank you ima give it a try

[tulip gulch]

how hard is edd compared to a normal one

[mellow cradle]

normal dd stages have a difficulty of hazard 3, 3.5, 3.5
meanwhile the stages in the edd have a difficulty of hazard 4.5, 5, 5.5
if you play haz 5, it should be very doable

edd is probably easier than 3 haz 5 missions, because of the nitra carrying over

this week is pretty easy too

[tulip gulch]

sweet thx

[wraith shard]

Any practice before deep dives that can be done in normal game modes?

[mellow cradle]

this probably isn't the answer you are looking for, but: just play the game and do the objectives as efficiently as possible

[wraith shard]

Is it more time sensitive

[mellow cradle]

not really

but there are no side objectives, or events, or crafting minerals

only real objectives and nitra, that's all that matters

[jolly herald]

fucking hell

called drop pod on stage 3

immediately host disconnected

rip

[fringe thistle]

F

[tacit jungle]

If you can consistently do haz 5, deep dives aren't a huge deal aside from the occasional extra spicy EDD stage 3

the spawn table fairy leaves INFINITE GRUNTS under your pillow sometimes

[jolly herald]

this weeks EDD is indeed pretty easy

nothing notable

just shoot bug and do objective

[wintry thunder]

you can also check what all the missions are from the reddit thread each week to plan out what you need

[burnt sandal]

or in the pinned messages in here

[raven carbon]

Not any more than normal missions

Point extraction on normal mission is as time sensitive as point extraction on edd

[jolly herald]

yes, you only get a week to do it

[upbeat seal]

Is everyone getting dropped into goo for the current elite deep dive lol

[sharp cradle]

How's the EDD this week

[upbeat seal]

Kinda cramped but fun, only near wipeout was on the final stage

I think one other person and i still had IW and resupplies nearby, but got swarmed in a pretty small room

[jolly herald]

It's easy, just be ready for swarms in tunnels

VIR shard goes crazy on this EDD

Also the new driller sticky ice

[high ivy]

3rd stage edd has this room with

2 leech

barrage

and during a swarm the whole place has like a gazillion baby shellbacks

[sharp cradle]

Right Salt Pits

Well I might as well try

[high ivy]

oh and i forgot to mention there was also a breeder in the room

so the whole thing is like an elaborate trap

[mellow cradle]

I don't think stationaries are the same in deep dives?

[high ivy]

are they not

[mellow cradle]

someone correct me if I'm wrong though

[sharp cradle]

No they ain't

[mellow cradle]

yeah, thought so

the number of them might be the same, because I reckon that's connected with the seed, but the types of them and locations may vary

[neon shell]

Do I have to host the EDD to get the achievement? I completed one and I didn't get it (not sure if this belongs here lol)

[mellow cradle]

the achievement for completeing an EDD?
no, you don't have to host

maybe wait a while, steam achievements take a bit to update sometimes

[sharp cradle]

I started it

Got joined by three greenbeards

One of them got tired of dying constantly and left

Then the other two followed

Wish me luck

[mellow cradle]

the only hard part in solo is the drillevator

[upbeat seal]

Being able to place the engineer turrets on it is very nice

[mellow cradle]

yeah

the hard part in solo is that you have to fix everything by yourself I believe

or can bosco do that too? I didn't check actually

[sharp cradle]

He cannot

Live coverage from the caves

[mellow cradle]

damn

[sharp cradle]

Nor can he build the scanners

Stage 2 complete

I would've been more chill if I knew there were boots

[jovial inlet]

this last mission is ridiculous ahah

eggs and refining

[sharp cradle]

Thankfully I have a revolutionary strategy

Called

"All resupplies are for me"

[cyan birch]

Worst part too is bosco can't help either, and they made it so repairing at any stage of the ''break state'' takes the same amount of time, so you're incentivized to wait for it to ''break more''

I wish it worked like the rock crackers or doretta armor plates...

[sand juniper]

Considering placing "silver dwarves and above only" on my lobby title whenever I host EDDs.

This time it was a player lvl 10 driller who never read the ingame chat.

[upbeat seal]

Its not my fault im bronze ;-;

Limiting it to pretiged dwarves is valid though

[sand juniper]

That's already a default whenever you join a deep dive. The game won't let you join them with unpromoted dwarves.

[sharp cradle]

Rock and Stone lads

EDD complete

[jovial inlet]

this EDD had so much nitra lmao

[sand juniper]

Congrats!

real

[jovial inlet]

We finished with nearly 400 nitra

[sharp cradle]

Killed 715 critters

My strategy of just backpedalling with the sludge pump was succesful

[jovial inlet]

the DD's name is uhhh

[sharp cradle]

Names are shared

[high ivy]

"It burns! It buuurns!"

[west merlin]

Oh it does? That's dumb, I've been assuming they broke fully one at a time

[west merlin]

You could put "must read ingame chat" if you want to be less mean.
I got a triple silver promoted Scout today (on a normal mission thankfully) who never read ingame chat, talked, or made any effort to coordinate at all

[jolly herald]

Think we had 580 nitra in the last cave

Our seed was 4 leeches

It was a cool room tbf, set up a big choke point at the entrance and blended the bugs up

[jolly herald]

I do a basic intelligence test before we go

Are they able to communicate in any way

If not, it's the boot

[mellow cradle]

what does this intelligence test entail?

[lunar helm]

Fill in the blank: Rock and _______

[mellow cradle]

uhhh, granite?

[lunar helm]

We got a bloody leaf lover here boys

[jolly herald]

'hello'

....

Wait for response

[sand juniper]

That's a very good point really, yeah.

[jolly herald]

Hot take - kicking people who don't communicate in a multiplayer game at the hardest vanilla difficulty isn't mean

[sand juniper]

The meanest thing I've done I think was calling a votekick on a L4D2 Expert game where someone played worse than a CPU bot.

But then again on that game all kicks are done via voting, so at least a majority of people on the lobby must agree on kicking anyone.

[jolly herald]

I have kicked a non responsive driller for molly griefing me when I had gold rush and he ran ahead while I mined gold

[wraith shard]

that is completely warranted tbh
even if you dont like to use chat out of anxiety, you can rock and stone and ping stuff to communicate, and I dont think anyone anxious to even do that should be playing edd with randoms anyways

[jolly herald]

You can literally wiggle mouse up and down to communicate a yes/no to reading chat

So I totally agree

Pointer is goated

[wraith shard]

yeah
there are creative ways to say almost anything with a laser pointer, and if the person you are talking to is playing edd they tend to have enough game knowledge to understand what you are trying to convey,thankfully

so it is really just a non issue to use it

[sand juniper]

The pointer system is very good, and I don't mind people who don't chat but use it effectively to communicate.

[ivory yacht]

I have a deep dive question
Do I get rewards for doing both the regular and elite version of deep dives or can I only do 1 of them weekly?

[frozen chasm]

Both

[ivory yacht]

I completed my first normal deep dive in 45 minutes, then went into elite and completed it in an hour and got 0 rewards from it.

[frozen chasm]

You didn't get the popups after each stage?

[ivory yacht]

I did, but when I checked my forge there wasn't anything there
Only the stuff I got from the normal deep dive + assignment stuff was there
Nothing from elite got carried over

Except for exp and season pass stuff

[frozen chasm]

try reloading. I actually just got all the cores from my rerolls tonight (past season cosmetics that were supposed to get rerolled into other forgeables when they moved back to the season passes.)

[ivory yacht]

K I'll give it a try

Ye, nothing.
Even my elite deep dive time isn't showing at all

😔

My first elite attepted and completed (with only 2 other people) and I got nothing to show for.
Guess I better do it again

[rain ferry]

does the friendly perk work with grenades?

[jolly herald]

Not to patronise but are you 100% sure you did the elite? It was on salt pits right?
When i ran it i queued for elite and someone changed the lobby last minute leading to quite some confusion

[ivory yacht]

Omfg that probably is what happened.
didn't even realize elite was the salt pits and not magma core this week and never questioned it.
I swear I joined an elite lobby and they prob changed it last minute

[jolly herald]

don't worry, it happened to me too

I was trying out some new overclocks and the host changed it to the elite deep when i joined (idk if he wanted a carry, he was quite underlevelled for EDD)

[ivory yacht]

I wanted to try and get more overclocks in general cause I have like none atm.
(Dang that was an hour wasted 😭)
But tbf, maybe I might still be underlevelled for elite. I only have 1 promotion and still kinda new

[jolly herald]

if you are comfortable playing on haz5 you will be fine on the EDD, especially as this week isnt too difficult

if you arent that experienced with Haz5 you can still get it done just need to find a good lobby with some solid dwarves

[ivory yacht]

I'm semi comfort but sure I'll give this EDD a try before it resets

[jolly herald]

plan your build for stage 2 swarmageddon as that awards the weapon core and is haz5

stage 1 is quite chill, someone will likely have a way to deal with the mactera swarm

use plenty of repellent on the ceiling in the mining tunnels to force swarmers onto the floor

SSGs are super strong here, if you don't have meta overclocks the shard/breach built for ammo efficiency is good

I got a bulk on stage 2, so make sure you have a driller as he may need to dig you out of trouble

[manic pivot]

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

[thin tinsel]

We used the bulk to carve us a shortcut back up the cave

[jolly herald]

yeah we did the same but wasnt about to recommend it to someone who hasn't played EDD before

[thin tinsel]

Yep, that's understandable, it was a pretty tight cave as well all the way down, in our case a dreadnought also spawned, made it pretty spicy between 2 grey and 2 greenbeards 😃

[jolly herald]

it was on the easier side but i enjoyed the cave gen and warning with the new objectives - we did not see a dread though, at least nitra was plentiful i guess

[rose heart]

whatre like the meta scout builds for deep dive? or resources to look at

[near knot]

Sense this week has the new crystal mission what is it on consol/windows store

[sand juniper]

Deep dives use roughly the same builds as regular gameplay; they're not significantly more difficult, they just take more time. If you have a build you're comfortable with for Haz 5, you can bring it to EDDs.

[ocean tiger]

i just get my first acension why i can´t find nobody for deep dive

[mellow cradle]

I feel like this might be because the dives reset in like 15 hours, so most of the people are done with them at this point
there will be a lot of lobbies tommorow on the fresh dive though
