all the weapon nerfs

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 4:45 PM

#

i dont recall many weapon nerfs

outer pasture Oct 4, 2019, 4:45 PM

#

tbh, the only nerf i really feel is the epc

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 4:45 PM

#

epc was pretty stronk

outer pasture Oct 4, 2019, 4:45 PM

#

the others are whatever

#

and now it is... pretty weak 😦

compact trench Oct 4, 2019, 4:46 PM

#

Lately my weapons havent been functioning how they did last update and I need to change my weapon load outs

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 4:46 PM

#

they've done a few tree reworks

compact trench Oct 4, 2019, 4:46 PM

#

Breach cutter used to take down a preatorian in 2 shots, now it takes 3-4

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

oh yeah

#

breach is the other big nerf

#

EPC and breach basically both got gutted, though breach was more of a bug fix

#

it used to do damage based on fps

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

they rebalanced some stuff and nerfed some strong stuff but only a couple things were really nerfed

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

oh

#

lures were also the big nerf

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

most stuff works the same for me

compact trench Oct 4, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

I'm okay with the nerfs/rebalances, it's just i want to get overclocks to make things more useful

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

clean overclocks are fairly minor

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

clean overclocks are like half an upgrade

compact trench Oct 4, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

I like the clean overclocks, but yknow it's a lottery on whatever weapon and overclock i get

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

OCs are like an upgrade and a malus, Unstables are just funny

compact trench Oct 4, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

and I only get like 3 a week

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

thats unfortunate but it shouldnt keep you from being able to clear the hardest content

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

Haz 5 was doable without OCs

#

shouldn't be different.

compact trench Oct 4, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

Of course it isn't
I just kinda miss my old loadout yfeel?
Kinda like when a top tier in a fighting game gets nerfed into a normal tier listing
They're still good, but I kinda just miss that little cheese I had

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

oh no

#

i DEFINITELY feel you there

#

nerfs feel twice as worse then buffs do

#

so that's just how it is.

compact trench Oct 4, 2019, 4:50 PM

#

I love the buff on the minigun and overclocks on that gun

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 4:50 PM

#

now imagine if that was a ner-

compact trench Oct 4, 2019, 4:50 PM

#

🙂

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 4:50 PM

#

jk

#

🙃

warped adder Oct 4, 2019, 4:51 PM

#

imagine if we could actually get a decent amount of OCs per week

compact trench Oct 4, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

But yeah i definitely just want more ways to get overclocks
Or at least rotate the deep dives on a 3-4 day basis
Or give us the preset seed deep dives and then random deep dives that give you like 1 thing per 3 levels or something idk

#

Just something more
I got 170 hours in the game and I love it but I don't like waiting a week just to actually get something in end game
It's worse than Monster hunter grinding and I love that

#

Doesn't give me a reason to come back to the game when I already did the deep dives except hope I get a random loot crate in the mission for a skin

stray escarp Oct 4, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

maybe when we get endgame part 2 things will change

compact trench Oct 4, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

That's what I'm hoping on

warped adder Oct 4, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

if they are concerned about us getting all OCs too quickly, then just include some other, more grindy way of getting them

fathom horizon Oct 4, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

Exactly

compact trench Oct 4, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

I'm down with that

stray escarp Oct 4, 2019, 4:55 PM

#

I have a lot of games I want to play so having weekly assignments in deep rock works perfectly for me. But I understand the point of view from people who want to grind more in DRG

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 4:55 PM

#

i wish cargo crates had a small chance to give overclocks

fathom horizon Oct 4, 2019, 4:55 PM

#

Or make an even harder one with a really not worth it reward so the nolifes can get their stuff

#

Infinitely

compact trench Oct 4, 2019, 4:55 PM

#

Yeah and I have other games I want to play, but deep rock is one of the games I really want to play

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

40 minute survival to get 1/3rd of a oC

compact trench Oct 4, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

I'd definitely hate that

warped adder Oct 4, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

ye that would just be boring

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

i'm meming yeah

compact trench Oct 4, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

same

stray escarp Oct 4, 2019, 4:59 PM

#

Feels like you just described warframe to be honest

compact trench Oct 4, 2019, 4:59 PM

#

It is

#

partially why i stopped playing it

fathom horizon Oct 4, 2019, 4:59 PM

#

Lol

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 5:01 PM

#

yeah that's what i was referencing

fathom horizon Oct 4, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

Epicccc

peak glacier Oct 4, 2019, 5:18 PM

#

honestly, I'm really confused here.
so what do you use to get overclocks?
Do you use matrix cored for them? And what is the talk about charging them?
What are the matrix cores that give you crafting materials, then?

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 5:23 PM

#

DD and EDD have a rotation of rewards

#

stage 1 gives you resources

fathom horizon Oct 4, 2019, 5:23 PM

#

You do deep dives or certain weekly missions to unlock them. Those ideas I think were ditched

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 5:23 PM

#

stage 2 gives you a matrix core that contains a random weapon OC

#

and stage 3 has a cosmetic.

#

stage 1 is also a matrix core

fathom horizon Oct 4, 2019, 5:23 PM

#

Hey radish, if I beat the second level of the edd is it worth it to get the 3rd

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

do you care about hats?

fathom horizon Oct 4, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

... a little

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

the only reward from DD stage 3 is a cosmetic

#

so a beardo r a hat or something

fathom horizon Oct 4, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

Would you say it's worth grinding more for it?

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 5:25 PM

#

i don't care for hats personally

#

so i say no

#

but

fathom horizon Oct 4, 2019, 5:25 PM

#

I want them juicy overclocks

#

That's what I mostly care about

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 5:25 PM

#

then you justneed to do stage 2

#

stage 3

#

does give you a box to boost your mastery though

#

and mastery can give you OCs

stray escarp Oct 4, 2019, 5:25 PM

#

I got the cyclops hat for the scout. That was the best reward I got from both dives this week

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

yeah there's some nice hats

rotund ivy Oct 4, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

this weeks stage 3 is pretty easy too

fathom horizon Oct 4, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

Also can we talk about how my scout friend got the +200% focus damage m1000 overclock first try

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

then there you go

fathom horizon Oct 4, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

I died on the third stage nearly done

#

:(

peak glacier Oct 4, 2019, 5:27 PM

#

Do Bosco's revive charges refresh every stage

stray escarp Oct 4, 2019, 5:28 PM

#

yes they do recharge

peak glacier Oct 4, 2019, 5:32 PM

#

gud

brittle relic Oct 4, 2019, 5:58 PM

I still can't beat EDD stage 1

#

I cri

quartz quest Oct 4, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

that's the greenbeard filter

#

you're not a greenbeard, are you?

brittle relic Oct 4, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

to be fair, I always seem to get one teammate that is determined to screw something up

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

Have you watched recordings of the teams that beat it?

brittle relic Oct 4, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

like starting the dreadnaught fight immediately

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

Also, yeah, gotta keep out the idiots.

brittle relic Oct 4, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

or leaving right when a wave spawns

I'll find a vid to watch, start getting a gameplan together

This weeks EDD felt a lot easier

rough wedge Oct 4, 2019, 7:28 PM

#

Any advice for doing Deep Dives? Im wary of doing them with randoms lol

rotund ivy Oct 4, 2019, 7:30 PM

#

be fast

peak glacier Oct 4, 2019, 7:30 PM

#

avoid wasting ammo when necessary

rotund ivy Oct 4, 2019, 7:30 PM

#

kill the breeders first and repair the mules as fast as possible

peak glacier Oct 4, 2019, 7:30 PM

#

and only get the absolute minimum, then book it

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

try to keep your health as high as possible

peak glacier Oct 4, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

nitra stays with you, so you can save supply drops for later missions, if you don't need them yet

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

might be obvious but look for some health after you get picked up, you can potentially forget

burnt oasis Oct 4, 2019, 7:32 PM

#

I cannot get a team that isn't too stupid to live on the EDD

#

I had people pulling the dread early, I had people calling in accidental resupplies, I had people unaware of exploders, I had people who kited the dread to the furthest part of the map, died, and pulled the rest of the team there because the revivers died too

#

This is absurdity

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 7:34 PM

#

its not easy

#

do it solo if you get tired of teammates

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

If you can't do it solo, and can't organize a team via other channel, you'll have to pick your battles.

#

Do it alone, do it via an organized team, lobby shop like mad, or host yourself and gatekeep heavily. Your only real options.

rough wedge Oct 4, 2019, 7:41 PM

#

What should I do to take as little damage as possible against bugs

#

Like say a swarm lol

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 7:42 PM

#

kill them first

#

failing that, run away

rough wedge Oct 4, 2019, 7:43 PM

#

I also notice I dont use C4 nearly enough >_>

foggy sentinel Oct 4, 2019, 7:43 PM

#

I really read that as "What I should do is take as little damage as possible against bugs"

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 7:43 PM

#

Best damage reduction is killing them before they get to you.

nocturne dust Oct 4, 2019, 7:53 PM

#

another week of mostly beards and a couple of subpar overclocks

#

:/

#

bah

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 7:53 PM

#

yea screw the beards

nocturne dust Oct 4, 2019, 7:54 PM

#

was excited for the last overclock i got just now and its just a beard ill never use

#

6 days

hollow flower Oct 4, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

This week took longer for me, was just under 55

cobalt pasture Oct 4, 2019, 8:17 PM

#

they really should let you pick between like 2 OC's when you unlock them

harsh mountain Oct 4, 2019, 8:18 PM

#

they are gonna let you choose between 3 in U26

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 8:20 PM

#

Great way to be thrice as disappointed as before.

lethal topaz Oct 4, 2019, 8:32 PM

#

this elite deep dive worth its name

burnt oasis Oct 4, 2019, 8:39 PM

#

I got to the final countdown on the first leg but lost because the swarm literally did not stop and the gunner was so fucked up that he didn't remember his shield

#

Frustration personified

nocturne dust Oct 4, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

"so fucked up" ?

latent hamlet Oct 4, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

a term generally used to describe someone in a very intoxicated stated

#

in this context however i believe he is saying the gunner is "beyond normal bad, hes so bad hes fucked"

burnt oasis Oct 4, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

I have no idea what he was on but he kept going down

#

When I stated so that was his reasoning

latent hamlet Oct 4, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

probably smoked a lil too much

#

i always play when im stoned and it seems a lot of others do as well

#

lol

burnt oasis Oct 4, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

I realize people will do and play what they want to enjoy themselves, but

#

EDD is not meant for 'fucking around'

nocturne dust Oct 4, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

thanks for the textbook definition

#

was hoping he would mention what kind of drug gunner claimed he was on before game started

burnt oasis Oct 4, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

I wasted 3 hours failing repeatedly on the first leg

nocturne dust Oct 4, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

you know these ppl you start a game iwth and first thing they write when its too late to go back

#

"im so fucked up rn, had whole bottol of whiskey guys lol"

latent hamlet Oct 4, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

lol

#

edd is meant for fucking around

#

when youre as good as i am

#

drillmina

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 8:46 PM

#

Honestly, they should implement some sort of LFG function.

#

It's annoying seeing a guy jump into an EDD lobby with a second scout, and go like "but my only promoted class is scout"

latent hamlet Oct 4, 2019, 8:47 PM

#

wont solve the problem

#

problem is in the player not the game

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

well

#

until we start putting people in prison for this

quartz quest Oct 4, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

friends and I did EDD as two scouts and one gunner

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

the player pool isn't gonna change

latent hamlet Oct 4, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

deornt that doesnt matter but cool

#

Ze is a very meta player

#

he doesnt like to waste his time

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 8:49 PM

#

better to treat it as a given, and design around it

quartz quest Oct 4, 2019, 8:49 PM

#

his video was almost 24 mins on stage 1 wasn't it

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 8:49 PM

#

pub, and i'm not a speedrunner

#

granted, better than average pub

quartz quest Oct 4, 2019, 8:49 PM

#

getting mixed messages here...

latent hamlet Oct 4, 2019, 8:49 PM

#

meta =/= speedrunning

#

lol

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

i'm a "chance of success person", not a "quickly as possible" person

quartz quest Oct 4, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

he doesnt like to waste his time

latent hamlet Oct 4, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

yes

#

he would rather complete 1 mission in an hour

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

than fail 3 missions in 20 minutes

latent hamlet Oct 4, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

than chancing failure in 3 mission in that same hour

#

beat me to it lol

quartz quest Oct 4, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

or you can just complete the same mission in less than an hour, but choices are yours

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

I would only risk that with people I know.

#

Otherwise, we strip mine and cross every t and dot every i

quartz quest Oct 4, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

why are you calling it a risk like your actual career is on the line

#

management won't actually fire you for this

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

failure ain't fun

latent hamlet Oct 4, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

deornt why do you care that he cares more than you about a game?

#

i dont care that he cares more than i do

#

but im not coming at him

quartz quest Oct 4, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

two bold assumptions to make

latent hamlet Oct 4, 2019, 8:52 PM

#

i think its pretty average assumption based on the convo

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 8:52 PM

#

anyways, LFG function would be better than the current system

#

of randomly hopeing some guy is promoted in the class you (the host) want

latent hamlet Oct 4, 2019, 8:53 PM

#

i would like a class selection for quickplay

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 8:53 PM

#

large chunk of the player population in the pool isn't promoted on everything

latent hamlet Oct 4, 2019, 8:53 PM

#

so expanding it for everything would be nice

#

honestly it is a bit weird that the end game raids dont have better matchmaking

wanton cloak Oct 4, 2019, 8:53 PM

#

Are rewards the same for everyone?

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 8:53 PM

#

yeah; EDD is basically a raid

#

no

#

they're random

wanton cloak Oct 4, 2019, 8:54 PM

#

Right of course

#

Man, I really want a nice big beard for gunner

#

Haven’t had any luck on the regular deep dive though

quartz quest Oct 4, 2019, 8:54 PM

#

man, I really want... anything but another driller skin

wanton cloak Oct 4, 2019, 8:54 PM

#

Knowing my luck I’ll probably just get another driller or scour cosmetic

#

I’ve gotten all the scout cosmetics for his weapons

#

I want to die

quartz quest Oct 4, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

god i wish that were me

wanton cloak Oct 4, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

Take them, I’ll trade all of them for a mech Leadstorm

quartz quest Oct 4, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

funny you say that, my last dive gave me a mech engi set

#

I'm just as disappointed as you are

wanton cloak Oct 4, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

Since my gunner qualifies for gold I’m promoting my engi next

#

The mechanical for the warthog is pretty cool

#

The glyphid trophy hunter disappointed me though

quartz quest Oct 4, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

don't even know what half the skins look like but most of them don't match gk2's mag and it's annoying to think about

wanton cloak Oct 4, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

Just doesn’t fit any character except scout

wise sphinx Oct 4, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

i just got mech leadstorm

#

too bad gunner isnt played often

wanton cloak Oct 4, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

Well the engineered solution for the scouts rifle looks like a rail gun

#

But I just use trophy hunter for my scout

#

He’s berserker themed

quartz quest Oct 4, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

if and when skin/overclock trade is added, I'll finally have a use for stuff like that big damage autocannon overclock

wanton cloak Oct 4, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

You mean big Bertha?

quartz quest Oct 4, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

yeah

wanton cloak Oct 4, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

I heard that overclock was pretty bad

quartz quest Oct 4, 2019, 8:59 PM

#

not like I'd know, I don't use auto

wanton cloak Oct 4, 2019, 8:59 PM

#

Same here

#

My only concern for the autocannon is carpet bombing

#

I used it in the beta and it’s super fun

#

Not that good against dreadnoughts though

sick wren Oct 4, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

EDD is so easy this week, took only 19 times to finish. Like really, can we have some REAL lategame content, not for casuals?

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

19 attempts?

sick wren Oct 4, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

Yeah, I have no life

#

Would finish faster if didn't need to farm legendaries in WoW

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

what kind of smooth brain pubbies were you grouping up with?

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 9:48 PM

#

ice spear seems really underwhelming. it takes a full second to shoot the spear, and the damage doesnt always feel consistent

#

also the projectile shoots to the lower left which is weird

#

also the ammo consumption is inconsistent. im not a fan of this overclock. maybe it would be useful if can combo a frozen target with a ice spear, or for blasting down one of the blue floating things if you dont care about ammo

#

now to talk about an overclock that did make me happy to balance the negativity, the rocket jumping grenade launcher overclock is a lot of fun and very useful

turbid tendon Oct 4, 2019, 10:02 PM

#

I got that overclock in the experimental, it was amazing

lavish spindle Oct 4, 2019, 10:02 PM

just finished EDD where my teammates peer pressured me into making a bunker for them

#

i feel dirty

Damn that was ez(EDD)

#

First try with two other low level randos

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

if you can make it through the first stage, you can make it through the next two

stray escarp Oct 4, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

The defense segments were a bit spooky with all the exploders but overall it was a pretty simple EDD.
Did it on my second try with a group of randoms

alpine dew Oct 4, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

I feel like last week was much harder

near ether Oct 4, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

are there still some dwarfs lvl 80+ with a sense for teamplay and advanced tactics left? I really tried my best to get this edd done, but even as a 150+ i can only do so much 😦 I am really interested in the statistics, the % of teams which completed the edd. Every lobby is like barely 1 promoted dwarf and they go for elite

alpine dew Oct 4, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

or somewhat harder

#

I did it with one stars and I was tempted to kick but we breezed through it so idk

stray escarp Oct 4, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

I was the lowest level of my group as a mere level 56 dstare

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 10:12 PM

#

If you want a snooze fest, gather 4 gold 3, lvl 300+ dwarves

#

I've seen it

#

We genocided the planet

near ether Oct 4, 2019, 10:13 PM

#

i am almost at the point of frustration where i throw my wound body into every lobby just to brute force a team thats finally able to use their tools

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 10:13 PM

#

But you're rarely going to see that, so, back to rolling dice with the 1 star lobbies

#

Don't think it's good for your sanity to have no standards.

#

You're gonna get burnout.

near ether Oct 4, 2019, 10:14 PM

#

As i said close, but not yet

#

Probably comes the last day before new dives hit 😄

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 10:14 PM

#

Here's the problem.

#

The people good enough to beat the EDD on the first try, no fuss, are beating it as time goes on.

As you approach the end of the cycle, who do you think is left, still trying to beat it?

near ether Oct 4, 2019, 10:15 PM

#

haha the lobbys were not better on day 1 mate

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 10:15 PM

#

And they're gonna get worse

near ether Oct 4, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

on the other hand, missing one edd is not the worst case, but as a high lvl it stings the pride

stray escarp Oct 4, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

Solo it. Bosco is always there for you

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 10:17 PM

#

I did my first run yesterday morning. It was me at ~lvl 300, a lvl 80 something gunner, and a 600 something scout.

near ether Oct 4, 2019, 10:17 PM

#

from what i heard 2 player is optimal when it comes to scaling, unless you get a full skilled team that can aim

feral atlas Oct 4, 2019, 10:18 PM

#

2 player is also risky if 1 player doesn't know how to clutch.

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

i recommend solo

#

2 player doesnt scale much because you lose bosco. but bosco is pretty great at anything but killing

#

you can send him off to go kill big targets pre-emptively while you do some objectives, and you can send him off to mine anything

burnt oasis Oct 4, 2019, 10:51 PM

#

His frost missiles are also pretty clutch

warm knoll Oct 4, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

how hard is it to solo the elite deep dive

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 11:10 PM

#

the first stage is pretty hellish

#

but the second and third arent so bad

#

@warm knoll

#

i went driller

warm knoll Oct 4, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

ok

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 11:16 PM

#

There’s a hacker in my game

toxic garden Oct 4, 2019, 11:17 PM

#

Kill him

vapid quiver Oct 4, 2019, 11:18 PM

#

succeed faster then?

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 11:20 PM

#

Different name than current IGN when he spawns things

#

@vapid quiver was that for me?

vapid quiver Oct 4, 2019, 11:21 PM

#

I guess, it was just a joke

#

just hacking in a co-op game would make me less angry than usual

wraith shard Oct 4, 2019, 11:25 PM

#

@vapid quiver lol. It’s bittersweet. He spawns a bunch of large guys but then gives us full ammo every now and then

vapid quiver Oct 4, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

are you sure it's not a dev lol

hollow iris Oct 4, 2019, 11:45 PM

#

That's..not a hacker, that's mixer

#

how bad of an idea is it to try a deep dive with randoms?

feral atlas Oct 5, 2019, 1:47 AM

#

100% random, as it depends on your teammates

#

however, on average, expect to have a bad time if don't have at least 1 other good player to partner with

last fog Oct 5, 2019, 1:51 AM

#

I just lost on the very first room of the 2nd stage of EDD

#

after managing to carry my teammates to stage 2 and after enduring 3 losses

#

all it took was for that leech to drop me on a bet-c

#

and they couldn't get me up or kill her themselves

#

I want to cry

wanton cloak Oct 5, 2019, 2:02 AM

#

finished the first elite dive with 1 bullet

jaunty basin Oct 5, 2019, 2:04 AM

#

I finished my EDD with zero downs as Gunner. My driller on the other hand 19 👀

chrome wolf Oct 5, 2019, 2:06 AM

#

I still haven't beaten an EDD

#

Made it to the end of phase 3 every time

#

Never made it

azure stream Oct 5, 2019, 2:06 AM

#

I am so annoyed by the first EDD mission. Also the second one spawned me a Bet-C + the dreadnought

#

I have failed 5 times the 1st stage whilst I was the last man standing against a whole swarm of mobs as scout

#

Dont even know how to finisht this weeks EDD. The randoms can be pretty terrible and the good players already finished it. But I dont really want to miss out the weapon overclock

stray escarp Oct 5, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

bosco is always ready to help

azure stream Oct 5, 2019, 2:12 AM

#

Normaly I dont really consider going solo in that mission

#

Is it worth trying?

stray escarp Oct 5, 2019, 2:13 AM

#

dreadnoughts can be a pain if you cant cycle them very well but you get all the supply drops for yourself, bosco will do ok'ish poping the exploders

azure stream Oct 5, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

eh. Thats what I was guessing already.

#

Problem is the lobbies I played in today where full of people that needed 5 mins+ to kill a Dreadnought. If you just freeze it it drops pretty fast

#

But I am honestly just kinda depressed I cant get any people that do good in theses dives. Played with some 3star gold players that failed too

stray escarp Oct 5, 2019, 2:16 AM

#

The pug I joined melted dreadnoughts pretty quickly

azure stream Oct 5, 2019, 2:16 AM

#

Dreadnoughts arent the problem normally

stray escarp Oct 5, 2019, 2:16 AM

#

proximity mines, good gunner in high ground and a scout who uses his grappling hook

#

everyone did their role correctly

azure stream Oct 5, 2019, 2:18 AM

#

sure. But after failing the missi0n that many times today I refuse to play with rank 25 dwarfs or lower. One star promotion means nothing

wanton cloak Oct 5, 2019, 2:20 AM

#

eyyyy

#

I got something actually usefull

#

a little more omf for my minigun

#

not what I was looking for, but its welcome nonetheless

wide dove Oct 5, 2019, 2:29 AM

#

elite deep dive is rough this week

#

just wiped on last step of last mission, feels bad

chrome wolf Oct 5, 2019, 2:33 AM

#

Same

#

Let's hug

azure stream Oct 5, 2019, 2:45 AM

#

No seriously Im quitting this game. Fuck bosco

#

Extracting is way worse than killing the dreadnought. The amount of swarms isnt doable

wanton cloak Oct 5, 2019, 2:47 AM

#

uh

#

well

azure stream Oct 5, 2019, 2:47 AM

#

Dont care. Probably only way is going full bunker. I hate to say this but if the first stage is this difficult I dont care anymore.

wanton cloak Oct 5, 2019, 2:47 AM

#

thats...the point

rotund ivy Oct 5, 2019, 2:47 AM

#

you need help?

azure stream Oct 5, 2019, 2:49 AM

#

Yes I do. Doing it solo is worse than doing it with a 4 man squad

rotund ivy Oct 5, 2019, 2:49 AM

#

make an invite and we can duo it

wide dove Oct 5, 2019, 2:49 AM

#

Well duh

azure stream Oct 5, 2019, 2:52 AM

#

Dont even know how to solo the extraction part without doing bunker at this point

#

invite is out

rotund ivy Oct 5, 2019, 2:54 AM

#

i believe im in your game already

arctic veldt Oct 5, 2019, 3:07 AM

#

Legit deep dive ain’t that hard lol

#

35 min with a buddy of mine

reef ledge Oct 5, 2019, 3:21 AM

#

Soloing the EDD1 is difficult...

#

But honestly that's just always the case with Exploder Infestation in Salvage

#

That mission type with the specific mutator is a pita

#

But... Doing it isn't impossible

dim rune Oct 5, 2019, 3:23 AM

#

the regular deep dives are too easy imo

#

and the elites are too hard

#

there should be like a median

reef ledge Oct 5, 2019, 3:24 AM

#

We've only seen two DDs and two EDDs so far

#

It's very possible these are just some bad rolls of the dice

#

Give it a few more weeks before we judge it, yeah?

charred flare Oct 5, 2019, 3:26 AM

#

EDD doesnt seem too hard.

#

Feels like a slightly harder Haz 4 that continues for 3 stages

#

that said, I havent been trying to go for speed and just aim for completion

dim rune Oct 5, 2019, 3:27 AM

#

actually yeah, Grapz makes a good point, the first edd had a mactera plague and i did it solo

#

i only got through the first stage just barely and i quit after that

charred flare Oct 5, 2019, 3:28 AM

#

well i never do this solo

#

which is my thing to completing it

#

takes an hour or so at worst

#

30 to 45 min on average

dim rune Oct 5, 2019, 3:29 AM

#

AND apparently there was some bug affecting enemy spawns

burnt oasis Oct 5, 2019, 3:45 AM

#

The first stage of this week's EDD is the most brutal

#

If you get beyond it it gets easier

#

Second stage has a BETC with 4 players, and the third is pretty smooth sailing

#

Nitra is also fairly plentiful, so don't be afraid to call them in

jaunty walrus Oct 5, 2019, 3:47 AM

#

How brutal is it?

#

Is it more brutal than last week's Stage 2's EDD?

wraith shard Oct 5, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

In my opinion?

#

Yes

#

It's infinitely more unforgiving than ED1 Stage 2

jaunty walrus Oct 5, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

Nervous sweating

#

next weeks EDD would probably be easier than the first one they said

burnt oasis Oct 5, 2019, 3:55 AM

#

The good news is that you have the fail point early

#

If your team is competent enough to survive the salvage defense with exploder infestation on stage one, it's a very good chance of success

hollow arch Oct 5, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

WOW, fuck that level 2 deep dive eh!?

charred flare Oct 5, 2019, 4:05 AM

#

which part was low O2 again?

#

i completed it once and never looked back

unique lotus Oct 5, 2019, 4:15 AM

#

normal stage 2 was low O2, dunno about EDD

hollow arch Oct 5, 2019, 4:44 AM

#

Normal 2. || That extraction tho ||

unique lotus Oct 5, 2019, 4:52 AM

#

the dread on normal 2 nearly wiped my party because we couldn't find the last aquarq

#

and it devolved into the PE nonsense where you get swarms spawning before the last swarm's left

hollow arch Oct 5, 2019, 5:03 AM

#

I thought N2 was gonna be so nice cause it was small then it got crazy near the end. We also had trouble finding that last one

wraith shard Oct 5, 2019, 5:04 AM

#

Ooooh wait till when the drop pod spawns inside the wall

hollow arch Oct 5, 2019, 5:05 AM

#

We didn't have a digger, so we couldn't even make it there via tunnel

wraith shard Oct 5, 2019, 5:05 AM

#

If you have a driller good for you, if not have a gunner shoot a zipline up top

feral atlas Oct 5, 2019, 5:05 AM

#

if you play enough PE, normal 2 isn't a problem

wraith shard Oct 5, 2019, 5:05 AM

#

If you look carefully

feral atlas Oct 5, 2019, 5:05 AM

#

there is always a hidden room at the bottom of the map

wraith shard Oct 5, 2019, 5:06 AM

#

Theres a small tunnel that leads there

hollow arch Oct 5, 2019, 5:06 AM

#

Yeah, It's a mess in that ceiling though

feral atlas Oct 5, 2019, 5:06 AM

#

PE draws from a rather limited pool of map configurations

#

over time, you see everything and learn where they try to hide things

hollow arch Oct 5, 2019, 5:07 AM

#

PE?

feral atlas Oct 5, 2019, 5:07 AM

#

Point Extraction

wraith shard Oct 5, 2019, 5:07 AM

#

I played as a gunner with another gunner and i noticed the tunnel at the last 30 sec before drop pod departed

hollow arch Oct 5, 2019, 5:07 AM

#

ah

wraith shard Oct 5, 2019, 5:07 AM

#

Made it in 5 sec to spare

#

Saved the run for us

hollow arch Oct 5, 2019, 5:07 AM

#

I died 😦 But the others managed to dig though a thin wall

wraith shard Oct 5, 2019, 5:07 AM

#

Nearly ended it there

#

The other gunner was busy getting stuck below the cave and i was like its all on me now mode

hollow arch Oct 5, 2019, 5:08 AM

#

I was screaming at my scout friend to just run to the pod so he could continue if we didn't make it lol

#

It was fun

wraith shard Oct 5, 2019, 5:09 AM

#

My heart stopped for a sec qhen i jump off the zipline and the game tp me below the tunnel then back at the tunnel

#

Because lag

#

Which was fucking dumb

latent hamlet Oct 5, 2019, 5:46 AM

#

@feral atlas yeah makes me say

#

PE used to be my favourite mission type

#

now its much more bland since i recognize the layout

thick ridge Oct 5, 2019, 6:03 AM

#

is there a channel for finding a deep dive group besides #lfg-steam or is that it

woeful marten Oct 5, 2019, 6:17 AM

#

is it possible to find the reward pictures/stats somewhere from EDD, like pictures of beards and overclocks?

final nest Oct 5, 2019, 6:25 AM

#

Want to ask, as a gunner. How should I be using my shields? I tend to save them to protect while attempting a revive but is there a more optimal use?

shy hazel Oct 5, 2019, 6:25 AM

#

Generally, anytime you're surrounded by a horde and need some breathing room is a good time to use it

#

You can also use it to force bigger bugs likes Praetorians and Dreadnoughts to turn around and expose their weakpoint, but I don't recommend doing that too often unless it's a Dreadnought and your teammates aren't in a good position for damaging it

#

All bugs get a fear effect that cancels their actions and forces them out of the shield if it deploys over them, is how that works

#

Don't try it on Trawlers or Shellbacks though, they go fast enough to ignore the effect

final nest Oct 5, 2019, 6:30 AM

#

I noticed they didn't seem affected by it. Do you have any other advice for someone looking to improve gunner play?

shy hazel Oct 5, 2019, 6:35 AM

#

Ziplines are less of a transportation tool and more of a way to move heavy objects like Aquarq more efficiently; a driller or engie by themselves can make mobility a lot easier on any level, so unless you don't have either you should save them for when you need to haul heavy stuff
Use your primary for swarms and secondary for single targets; that's what they're built for and perform best at
It's entirely your teammate's responsibility to get out of the cluster grenade's blast radius

final nest Oct 5, 2019, 6:35 AM

#

For reference, I use the minigun with penetration and I've got the brt specced as an armor breaker

shy hazel Oct 5, 2019, 6:37 AM

#

I'm not going to go into weapons or builds because that's just preference; I use a Bulldog specced into pure damage and toxin chance, but it fits into the same overall role as the BRT in a different way

final nest Oct 5, 2019, 6:39 AM

#

I like #3 particularly well

quick birch Oct 5, 2019, 6:40 AM

#

#3 if you do this please dont

#

use shield generators when you think youre in danger, use it to revive friends only when there are 2+ dwarves down and there are a lot of enemies

livid slate Oct 5, 2019, 6:43 AM

#

Most gunners don't use nearly enough ziplines. You should aim to use at least one per resupply. In combat they can be used to mostly ignore ground gylphids. If you expect to fight in any open area, a zip or two can make or break the fight. Especially on point extraction.
Your shield is mostly for reviving allies. Only use it if you are risking going down, or have someone you need to get up. Using it in choke points (driller exit tunnels) or drop pods is also wise.
Don't throw clusters at allies. It's a dick move. If an ally moves into the blast radius after it is their fault. (Do not bring clusters on low grav missions)
The bulldog is useful at all ranges with one accuracy upgrade, and should always be taken.
The minigun or autocannon are preference. Minigun kills faster, autocannon breaks armor faster.

shy hazel Oct 5, 2019, 6:45 AM

#

Oh right, I'd almost forgotten about the 'shooting gallery that shoots back' zipline stratagem

livid slate Oct 5, 2019, 6:45 AM

#

Hey, if you got it

#

Better than wasting a zipline on a resupply

quick birch Oct 5, 2019, 6:45 AM

#

mind if i ask what that means

#

'shooting gallery that shoots back'

livid slate Oct 5, 2019, 6:45 AM

#

Webspinners, acidspitters, and macara will try and shoot you off ziplines

#

It's best to kill them first

shy hazel Oct 5, 2019, 6:45 AM

#

If you set a zipline up right, you can fire with impunity from a completely open space where no melee bug can get you

livid slate Oct 5, 2019, 6:46 AM

#

Yup

shy hazel Oct 5, 2019, 6:46 AM

#

Ranged attacks can knock you off though, hence the 'shooting gallery' bit

quick birch Oct 5, 2019, 6:46 AM

#

ive seen exploders that float up to people in ziplines too

shy hazel Oct 5, 2019, 6:46 AM

#

Exploders are hackers so that's no surprise

livid slate Oct 5, 2019, 6:46 AM

#

But yeah, I honestly do not like gunners that burn up their shields protecting themselves.

#

Just stay mobile and save shields for allies

#

Another fun fact re: minigun. The spinup-spindown is independent of weather or not you have the gun actually out

quick birch Oct 5, 2019, 6:47 AM

#

everybody gangsta until the shield clips through the floor

livid slate Oct 5, 2019, 6:47 AM

#

So you can stop firing second, jump and move, then start firing with little spinup lost

#

Generally I'll fire until the swarm is a bit too close, run, jump, turn around and fire into the lids behind me

#

It has the added bonus of clustering them nicely for a grenade

shy hazel Oct 5, 2019, 6:48 AM

#

You can also use the shield to cover mid-combat resupplies, turret assemblies, firing lines on rooms of big targets, and the drop pod so people might see your shield, realize the door's open, and get in the damn thing already

livid slate Oct 5, 2019, 6:49 AM

#

Oh yeah, covering mid-combat resupplies is great

#

Especially as you get the shield back immediately

#

Well the ammo for it

#

I normally build for +Duration and +Size, how do you build Urist?

shy hazel Oct 5, 2019, 6:51 AM

#

Max duration and size, used to run with the lingering effect but I realized that second-and-a-half of recharging shield would be better as another second-and-a-half of not getting hit in the first place

quick birch Oct 5, 2019, 6:51 AM

#

i just spam ping to tell people to get in the pod

shy hazel Oct 5, 2019, 6:51 AM

#

Oh, save your last shield charge for emergencies; if you use all four, it won't start recharging until you resupply and you'll have to wait on it before you can use it again anyway

quick birch Oct 5, 2019, 6:52 AM

#

does the lingering effect work when you leave the shield, when the shield is gone or both?

shy hazel Oct 5, 2019, 6:54 AM

#

Both, but only for another second or so

indigo leaf Oct 5, 2019, 7:18 AM

#

Damn Trawler caused us to lose the final EDD part! Took 3 out of the 4 of us out of the gunner's shield to the other side of the map

quick birch Oct 5, 2019, 7:19 AM

#

sometimes the aliens have more iq than me

#

whoever reacted just want to let you know: I'm going to steal your Glyphid Slammer

woeful marten Oct 5, 2019, 7:27 AM

#

@quick birch was me, will happily share 😉

#

also you can see who reacted when you hover, yeah you were right about iq

quick birch Oct 5, 2019, 7:28 AM

i agree to my own statement and also im going to steal my own glyphid slammer

have you managed to complete EDD Breaks?

grim needle Oct 5, 2019, 7:30 AM

#

So EDD stage 3 is ass this week

wraith shard Oct 5, 2019, 7:48 AM

#

Alright so I did a lot of work with some runs on the Elite Deep Dive

#

If you need advice on how to beat it on any role let me know, I can give you a pretty flushed out explanation

timber comet Oct 5, 2019, 7:50 AM

#

I'm soloing it on engineer right now

#

And number one has a bet-C

#

squeee

languid sluice Oct 5, 2019, 7:55 AM

#

EDD stage 1 is the hardest easily

#

Or at least I thought so

grim needle Oct 5, 2019, 7:56 AM

#

did EDD with the same team setup as last time 3 gunner 1 driller.

timber comet Oct 5, 2019, 8:02 AM

#

I just flattened the dreadnought, and the detonator infestation is basically free health >_>

#

proxy mines do stuuupid dps to dreadnoughts lul

#

Aaand, left EDD stage 1 with 300 nitra and half of my ammo

#

Bet-C doing work

#

EDD stage 2 is rich atmo? lol ok I'll take your word that stage 1 is the hardest

#

XD

timber comet Oct 5, 2019, 8:30 AM

#

The "cave leech cluster" of stage two was like, 3 leeches

#

I feel robbed

#

lol

timber comet Oct 5, 2019, 8:52 AM

#

Aaand that's EDD complete!

#

Woo

#

EDD stage one is indeed the hardest, though the BET-C makes it not too bad

#

😄

harsh steppe Oct 5, 2019, 9:03 AM

didn't get a bet-c in my two tries :/

we ran it twice, got her both times.

willow salmon Oct 5, 2019, 9:19 AM

#

I did EDD and had no Bet-c

split marten Oct 5, 2019, 9:20 AM

#

was it stage 2 or 3 that had the elimination objective in EDD?

#

in the room with the cocoon, i’ve never seen that many cave leeches in one area before in my life

#

literally got a friend to run out there as a guinea pig to clear it out

willow salmon Oct 5, 2019, 9:21 AM

#

Second was elim + morkite

#

Well it was cave leech cluster

split marten Oct 5, 2019, 9:21 AM

#

i think it was that one

willow salmon Oct 5, 2019, 9:21 AM

#

Although I think I had like 5 leeches in the entire cave

split marten Oct 5, 2019, 9:22 AM

#

yeah, but even with cave leech cluster on normal missions they felt underwhelming

#

but jesus christ that mission

#

must’ve been at least 10 in that one area

dark locust Oct 5, 2019, 9:43 AM

Are deep dives once a week?

#

I mean only

#

That's bummer

blissful lantern Oct 5, 2019, 10:37 AM

bet-c stage one ?

#

he was for stage 2 tho

reef ledge Oct 5, 2019, 10:40 AM

#

Bet-C is on Stage 1

#

If you go into Stage 1 with only one or two people

Oh ok

#

I only play in 4man parties

A billion trawlers during a swarm made it too unreasonable.

Just did Deep Dive for the fun of it but didint take the weekly challenge. can't take the weekly anymore kinda sad. is it a bug or ment to be like that ?

west nest Oct 5, 2019, 11:18 AM

#

so wait, when we played EDD at the beginning it was affected by the increased spawnrate bug?

shy hazel Oct 5, 2019, 11:19 AM

#

That 800-killcount end tally I had suddenly makes a lot more sense

blissful lantern Oct 5, 2019, 12:50 PM

#

they might want to put back the bug

#

😦

#

but yeah, i really had that feeling that the game was suddenly harder after the patch

#

now its a breeze

HAZARD 6 BAYBEE

fast veldt Oct 5, 2019, 1:28 PM

Yeah stage 1 has bet-c for 2 player

#

3 breeders for 3-4 player

sleek elbow Oct 5, 2019, 1:43 PM

#

A slight correction: it might be 2 or 3 breeders, because my 4-man team last night had 2 breeders in the main room on Stage 1 EDD.

Eh don't worry, i had an experienced team once and still failed about 3 times

quick birch Oct 5, 2019, 2:06 PM

#

are enemies always the same too?

stray escarp Oct 5, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

Waves stil change but the number of dwarves affect static enemy spawns

fast veldt Oct 5, 2019, 2:29 PM

#

Depends what you mean

#

Generated enemies remain the same - breeders, spitballers, leeches, BET-C, brood nexus being the main ones

#

Their numbers vary based on player count, and spawn locations can change based on host seed differences

#

However the enemy pool (constraints on what enemies can spawn both on generation and during waves) is fixed

#

I'm not sure if wave spawns are seeded or random though

kindred dragon Oct 5, 2019, 3:15 PM

#

seems accurate bc ran the first deep dive twice and 2 bulks both times

wet socket Oct 5, 2019, 3:52 PM

6 takes on EDD with randoms - wipes on 1-2 stage, once on 3. Triggered, and completed full EDD solo. When Haz1-3 greenbeards will understand that EDD is Haz5, not a walk in the caves with free loot?

bronze crag Oct 5, 2019, 3:58 PM

#

just completed edd with random team, and 1 player left on 2 stage

#

so it depends I guess

#

(and I was dying a lot on stage 1 cause of exploders, I always do)

hazy narwhal Oct 5, 2019, 4:11 PM

#

My friends and I can't beat stage 1 from the EDD.
Cleaning the area from breeders, trawlers and spitballs is hard. The boss fight with constant swarms too.
But out problem is in the defense point, we keep dying there. dstare

peak saffron Oct 5, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

Has anyone managed to beat the EDD solo? Jesus christ that third mission is nearly impossible

wraith shard Oct 5, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

i have

peak saffron Oct 5, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

Anything you would recommend? I've been going scout for the mobility but I physically cannot kill the enemies as fast as they spawn on that last black box

#

Also had 2 bulk detonators and several trawlers in the mix so that was fun

wraith shard Oct 5, 2019, 4:50 PM

#

i went driller

#

3-1-3-1-1 on flamethrower, 1-2-2-1-2 on subata, 3-1-2-3-3 on bosco

#

flamethrower kills all the small bugs really quickly and without much aim or thought. subata kills macteras quickly if you weakspot them. bosco is there to pick you up and go off and kill bigger guys while you do objectives

cold lark Oct 5, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

Stage 3 was easy compared to the dreads on 1 & 2

wraith shard Oct 5, 2019, 4:53 PM

#

i only survived by the skin of my teeth on 3 during the black box

#

be sure to keep your health up as much as possible and put a resupply pod at the blackbox

cold lark Oct 5, 2019, 4:53 PM

#

When my team did black box, there were close to zero bugs

#

We killed maybe 10 grunts and a praetorian

wraith shard Oct 5, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

i got bombarded

peak saffron Oct 5, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

Last attempt I killed 900 bugs and I think probably 2/3 of them were on that last mission

#

I have legitimately never seen it spawn so many so fast

wraith shard Oct 5, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

you cant really keep up with the mobs as scout unless you spam pheromone canisters

#

which is an actual strat: get plenty of nitra and use resupplies to keep a constant stream of pheromones out

cold lark Oct 5, 2019, 4:58 PM

#

I had to kite like 3 swarms around the map once, cause I didn't have enough scout dakka to keep em under control

hollow arch Oct 5, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

Just tired the EDD, and the game helpfully decided to not recognize my perks. No last stand or vampire >_>

inner void Oct 5, 2019, 6:22 PM

#

Oof, we got all the way to the black box on stage three and then a horde came and CRUSHED us

#

something like 100+ enemies, 2 trawlers and 3 menaces

#

seemed kind of unfair honestly, we had other hordes on that same map and this one was off the charts compared to them

still temple Oct 5, 2019, 6:24 PM

#

might have been a swarm mixed with the blackbox spawned stuff

inner void Oct 5, 2019, 6:25 PM

#

we didn't touch it yet, it was a regular horde wave announced by mission control

still temple Oct 5, 2019, 6:25 PM

#

owch

peak saffron Oct 5, 2019, 6:28 PM

#

Just failed on the third mission of the EDD again, everything was going smoothly until the game decided it would be really fun to spawn 4 trawlers at once

#

The struggle continues

inner void Oct 5, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

trawlers being able to phase through terrain and shields is bullshite honestly

eager knoll Oct 5, 2019, 7:22 PM

#

are trawlers bugged right now?

#

they used to flip upside down when shot in the previous update

#

now they're just moving slower like before but not filling

rotund gulch Oct 5, 2019, 7:32 PM

#

Me on a normal mission: Come on brother! Get to the drop pod, leave no dwarf behind!

Me on an Elite Deep Dive: Leave him! Agh! Bastards got me! Run, save yourself! Get to the next stage, damnit!

thorny geyser Oct 5, 2019, 7:42 PM

#

First stage of this week's EDD is hardest, imo.

#

Second stage was easy, last one was only a problem when running back to the extraction pod.

#

three guys got lost, i was alone at the pod

#

@inner void We handled regular swarm and black box swarm separately. Thankfully we had more than enough nitra to blow through those swarms. Grenades were used liberally.

hollow iris Oct 5, 2019, 7:58 PM

I feel like gold shouldn't be in deep dives TBH

It's just a trap

welp, nobody forces you to collect it

thorny geyser Oct 5, 2019, 8:02 PM

no gold left behind

i dig any and all gold if im not being swamped

there's a nice big vein in lower level of first stage

hollow iris Oct 5, 2019, 8:05 PM

I'm not,others risk the whole dive for it tho

thorny geyser Oct 5, 2019, 8:06 PM

well thats just silly

anyone for a deep dive

rotund gulch Oct 5, 2019, 8:27 PM

I agree, first is hardest, second is a relative breeze, 3rd was only annoying, since I kept getting my ass handed to me by thrawlers

wet socket Oct 5, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

By the way, Gas grenades are very effective against Trawlers. After few ticks of toxin they just surface from the ground, stunned. Easy targets.

indigo leaf Oct 5, 2019, 8:35 PM

Oh yeah, doesn't the neurotoxin debuff last forever?

thorny geyser Oct 5, 2019, 8:41 PM

bronze crag Oct 5, 2019, 8:48 PM

they have really low dps

REALLY LOW

vagrant sonnet Oct 5, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

Hey devs, y not randomize each deep dive level so it can be played over and over again. I wont play it more than once due to it being the same cave again. Just a recommendation.

heady vigil Oct 5, 2019, 9:04 PM

#

You can only get the big rewards once anyway

#

They might change the maps eventually but it's only worth doing once most of the time

wise sphinx Oct 5, 2019, 9:06 PM

Just play 3 different haz 5 missions

heady vigil Oct 5, 2019, 9:07 PM

Yeah, even if you get more gems and stuff. Seems more worth to play multiple missions

wise sphinx Oct 5, 2019, 9:07 PM

@indigo leaf Not forever, but about 30 seconds.
@bronze crag Gas grenades are not for DPS, they are for AOE damage. They make any size horde squishy and easy to kill.

They also hard counter swarmers

And shockers

sick wren Oct 5, 2019, 10:16 PM

Unpopular opinion: EDD should give ~2x more exp. Now it always gives 13,5 regardless amount of minerals farmed and creeps killed.
That's how much 3/3 haz4 Morkite mission gives without any modifiers and expensive minerals found

harsh mountain Oct 5, 2019, 10:19 PM

i don't think that's unpopular?

doesn't DD give like12k too

Deep Dive suggestion: if you've already completed it, replace the cores with random resource core rewards so people are encouraged to still do them but not miss out on most things

My friends and I are having troubles on the first stage of the EDD this week, we usually die on the last defense phase before the escape pod, overwhelmed by the amount of explodey bois and the arena looking like swiss cheese.

#

We're one of each class, any tips?

sweet igloo Oct 6, 2019, 1:37 PM

#

have driller bring cryo, and scout use cryo nades, frozen exploders don't explode

wraith shard Oct 6, 2019, 2:07 PM

#

if the deep dive gave resource cores after completing it once, then i believe that could lead to more over clocks through the leveling system

#

scout should bring pheremone

dapper cove Oct 6, 2019, 2:40 PM

#

phew just finished this deep dive, it was no joke

#

second mission turned crazy batshit when i got grabbed by a leech that pulled me directly on BETC

The combat was insane there was leech everywhere and a wave and betc chasing everybody around

amber plover Oct 6, 2019, 3:00 PM

That BET-C spooked me. I was looking around for the source of the beeping and I thought I had traced it to behind a wall on my right side

gold is something you mine if you want to, and can afford the time delay with your level of capability

if the mission is pushing your shit in from the wrong direction, dont' mine

If you're going on 0 downs, killing everything, it's your choice to mine or not.

Holy hell that second mission in the standard deep dive.

Low oxy+point extract is annoying AF.

versed willow Oct 6, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

I find it fun simply because it is different.

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

thats a good mission, makes you utilise the supply pod to explore into the deeper ends of the caves

feral atlas Oct 6, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

It's annoy. But it isn't hard.

#

as long as you know how the devs like to organize PE missions

#

and have enough brain cells to rub togehter to realize you need to put the resupplies further out into the cave instead of clustering them around the minehead

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

yep I think thats the reasoning for that particular mission, break that habit ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

#

pile up some supplies around the driller

midnight sphinx Oct 6, 2019, 5:50 PM

#

Yeah

#

It's definitely not hard as much as it is annoying to have to run back to the platform repeatedly, or waste nitra on a string of supply pods

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 5:50 PM

#

however if an easier mode is to be made, the cave could have small air blasting ducts

#

but where is the fun in that ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

midnight sphinx Oct 6, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

I think it'd be nice to see like, moveable air tubes or something.

#

Like, things you can string out from the platform, but they have limited supplies or something.

feral atlas Oct 6, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

this is what I want to see: faster refill from resupply pods, greater active refill radius, and having full shield slows your O2 drain

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

you dont need a lot of supply drops in between others, if you got a decent team you could create a smooth travel from one pod to another

feral atlas Oct 6, 2019, 5:52 PM

#

losing shield means losing O2 faster

midnight sphinx Oct 6, 2019, 5:52 PM

#

Most of my friends who play DRG haven't promoted yet so I'm stuck running them solo

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 5:52 PM

gotta lobby shop

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 5:53 PM

if a team calls down 4 supplies on the first mission on elite, its already over ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 5:55 PM

#

I think the problem also stems on the perks as well, not a lot use vamp/iron will ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

#

or attempt to mine red sugar

midnight sphinx Oct 6, 2019, 5:57 PM

#

How good is Vamp overall?

feral atlas Oct 6, 2019, 5:57 PM

#

Excellent if you don't get bold with it.

midnight sphinx Oct 6, 2019, 5:58 PM

#

I run iron will religiously, but the chance of 5HP from a melee kill seems a little underwhelming

feral atlas Oct 6, 2019, 5:58 PM

#

It's just there to heal chip damage over time.

midnight sphinx Oct 6, 2019, 5:58 PM

#

Still probably better than the fall damage perk though

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 5:58 PM

#

Vamp can get you out of falling in most situations

feral atlas Oct 6, 2019, 5:58 PM

#

Vampire isn't there to keep you alive.

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 5:58 PM

#

I use vamp with the pickaxe shockwave

feral atlas Oct 6, 2019, 5:58 PM

#

It's there so that if you have a heavily wounded grunt, your shield is full, and you're missing some health, you get free health.

#

It's for sustain, not for survival.

midnight sphinx Oct 6, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

Good point

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

you can outlast swarm fights if used well

#

even exploders, hit them +5 hp bounce away ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

feral atlas Oct 6, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

vampire shouldn't change how you play

#

I pickaxe grunts at 1 shot range anyways to save ammo

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

it'll prevent you from going down in Iron will

feral atlas Oct 6, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

but now, I get 5 hp too

#

Yeah. But I aim to avoid getting downed in the first place.

#

Having Vampire won't change my behavior.

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

combined vamp with berzerk you do extra damage - if the bugs are weak around you, pretty much one hit them in the mouth for instant kills

still temple Oct 6, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

eh, if i'm in iron will i'm more likely in a horde so pickaxeing will just end ironwill sooner

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

in Elite you dont want to get downed

feral atlas Oct 6, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

That's the problem wtih a lot of players. They use it as permission to play risky and then die.

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

mm So far Ive seen a lot of players calling down supplies when they dont need it

#

esp for HP

still temple Oct 6, 2019, 6:02 PM

#

hard to check their ammo counts, but yeah feels that way

harsh mountain Oct 6, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

i wish we could see ammo count

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

Id rather get downed and revived if I still have enough ammo for primary/secondary but calling down a supply in elite is knocking off a chance to make it to dive 3

midnight sphinx Oct 6, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

I pretty much only use iron will as a "oh shit there's someone down and I'm low on health" kind of perk

harsh mountain Oct 6, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

even if it's not their actual ammo count

#

but it's like the transition ammo bar

#

that'd be ccool

midnight sphinx Oct 6, 2019, 6:04 PM

It's pretty much only there as insurance in case I need to revive someone and I get killed during the revive.

you have 4/3(scout) resources that get refilled try to use them equally, but sometimes having a oh shit heal is nice

heals? then we start going away from left for dead style to monster hunter, lol

#

we already have pre missions Beer

#

oh right was going to ask, any reason to do more deep dive after getting the cores? you can't find crates in them right? so i rather do rando missions for a chance for skins

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 6:08 PM

#

I think at the moment it's the only way to get cores

#

other than the 2 core assignment

#

one weapon + one cosmetic

so yeah just for speed running then

#

welp time to join randos

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 6:09 PM

though the reward for the final core is a cosmetic

the nice thing about solo is that you only get a Bet-C in stage one and you can just kite her while Bosco deals damage

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 7:01 PM

#

can you capture both Bet-Cs though?

#

on my last run, the other one vanished

tired elbow Oct 6, 2019, 7:02 PM

#

the spawns are different for solo versus group, solo only has a Bet-C in the first stage

#

there's some interesting differences between solo and group for spawns, solo also has fewer spitballers and no spawners in the first stage

harsh mountain Oct 6, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

it's probably to do with how the ai spends the spawn budget

#

and how bigger groups have a bigger spawn budget

someone got a gunner solo elite dive video? 😦

#

curious how the hell anyone survives the fuel cell charging

potent reef Oct 6, 2019, 8:02 PM

#

so for the Elite DIve, I'm playing Gunner and wanted to know if I should do Sticky or Cluster grenades. I used my Cluster (which I usually do) but they didn't help a ton against the dreadnought, but on the other hand they're great for huge swarms.

So, for the duration of the entire dive; which is better?

#

and I tried Incendiary but those are just.....terrible

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

Im switching from cluster to sticky, cluster is nice.. but! if it spreads out, its not a lot of damage to anything

potent reef Oct 6, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

yeah, it's best no Haz 4 and in swarms

#

thanks

wind nest Oct 6, 2019, 8:13 PM

#

Im sure a well thrown nade on the dreadnought's abdomen is probably more effective than the cluster

potent reef Oct 6, 2019, 8:13 PM

yeah it is

but i didnt know about the entire mission-wise tthing

What happens when you get all of the overclocks and cosmetics in the game? Does it just stop giving you overclocks or does it give out blank ones?

lethal topaz Oct 6, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

@dark notch there are like a kiloton of cosmetics and overclocks right now, and you most unlock them for the 4 classes separately

#

With the weekly core limit, you wont reach that point until a few hundred (more like thousand) hours

Always have a secondary tunnel when bunkering

The driller should be ready to get out the second you hear the bulk

The gunner can also use his shield offensively to push it away

suiciding/exploding mobs are an absolute nuisance in games, especially ones you can't do much about them (yes I know you can prevent them by killing their head, but how often can you do that?)

Pretty upset about this. We get to the black box on level 3 of the EDD, we finish it, and IMMEDIATELY as the uplink is over a swarm spawns, but not any swarm.. This swarm is the biggest I've seen (if there are even variations of numbers of glyphids per swarm) or they all spawned at once in the final room. What makes it worse is that a bulk detonator spawned right in the middle. And to make things even MORE WORSE more glyphids started to spawn after we cleared not even a fourth of the swarm.

What fucking bullshit

tl;dr level 3 EDD finished uplink to the black box and IMMEDIATELY got a DOUBLE swarm with a bulk detonator in the final room

zinc kiln Oct 7, 2019, 11:11 AM

#

The current one is pretty hard, some randos and I were able to complete it after 3 hours and 3 attempts

#

You have to sometimes learn the waves and nitra positions as well as ores

#

For the current EDD, pretty sure a Bulk spawns on the 2nd or 3rd Swarm before or after the Black Box

#

Couldn't remember the actual timing but

#

Something to keep in mind if you are making a bunker

exotic oxide Oct 7, 2019, 11:46 AM

I solo'd the EDD, a bulk showed up in front of me in the tunnel while I was running to the pod

Whilst you're in its range it might be slower

exotic oxide Oct 7, 2019, 11:46 AM

I cheesed it by throwing pheromones at a Praetorian and then grappling past between its slams

#

But yes, bulks are definitely in the spawn pool for mission 3 of the EDD this week...

zinc kiln Oct 7, 2019, 11:48 AM

#

Yup, in the second Swarm or the Black Box part after roughly 45 -50 mins

#

On stage 3 that is

#

Haven't seen it or heard it spawn earlier

Not sure what to do when 15 macteras roll up as soon as the defence starts and nukes you

placid vault Oct 7, 2019, 2:04 PM

#

.. I guess I was lucky, I didn't see a single mactera, trawler or bulk det while soloing the black box part

sullen rose Oct 7, 2019, 2:04 PM

#

i just toss a pheramone canister and you are pretty much invulnerable for 10 seconds

#

with enough resupplies you can survive the black box without having to fight

#

you just have to focus down the trawlers as they dont seem to care about the pheramones...

pretty sure it lasts less than 10 seconds. gotta balance the magnitude of effect somehow.
