You mean post?
I don't think new bugs got added recently. Well, the enemy kind of bugs. Not the oh you know what I mean

Another easy one eh? will try it with randos first
fringe kettle
EDD wasn't the easiest, but it was far from the hardest.
Regular DD wasn't anything special. Maps were fairly open though.
wind nest
first mission is easy
crit buff
rng ended a 3 gold star driller wiped the team on mission 2
decided to drop a C4 on the ground

That’s why you take the perk, I get more damage from friendly fire than aliens half the time

omg the game crashed soon as I entered teh drop pod for mission 3 EDD

well that ruined the run

well, it has finally happened
failed at 3rd stage
now i have very little motivation to play the EDD again lol

EDD this week is easy
amber sail
What are the stages
wind nest
feral atlas
stage 3 can be a shieldless on magma core with rock everywhere
and it'll still be easy
fathom horizon
Wait another easy edd? Like Last week easy?
feral atlas
just because of the amount of nitra you spawn in with
fathom horizon
Lmao crit weakness
feral atlas
I actually started eating breakfast during stage 3
and took 0 damage the whole time during the defense
on duo there's so few bugs; something is funky with the spawn rate
I legit think they may have set this to DD difficulty this week by accident
fathom horizon
Crit weakness start definitely makes it way easier to accumulate nitra for later stages
feral atlas
I left that stage without using a resupply
still had 8 plg shots and 120ish shotgun rounds

I find Haz 5.5 really hard as is. Mix in defend w/no shields, where web spitters one shot you after being rezzed, it was rough. We didn't have much nitra since stage 2 had a bulk during a dreadnought, and overall we jsut burned ammo too fast.
We finished, barely, yay scout kiting at the end to sneak in the pod.

You gotta do what you gotta do to survive
Not bunkering and dying is far more stupid than bunkering and surviving

And as much as I love carpet bomber, I'm not sure it's got enough punch compared to the minigun. Gunner is my weakest class though.
lower dps and probably better ammo economy I guess.

DD’s were super easy
had like 8 resupplies to spare on the elite dive
we could have waited it out just spamming shields and pheremones

I joined a PUB team who got wiped on the first Black Box
No one was killing anything and got overwhelmed
But second run was so easy, had so much spare nitra
could be liberal with cryo cannon
wraith shard
since crit weakness was sprinkled in both dives if youre efficient with ammo you can grab about 200 nitra for the next missions without even resupplying

yeah you can definitely do EDD first stage without resupply

What warnings?
full saddle
easy to go too fast and get owned
fringe kettle
I'd say on a scale of 5 with 5 being the hardest, it's probably a 2
stage 1 - critical weakness
stage 2 - regen bugs
stage 3 - shield disrupt
hollow iris
Oh god
fringe kettle
it's shield disrupt on salvage. But if you get the fuel cells in this spot and you don't mine the dirt, it's basically a naturally occurring choke point and super easy to defend.

wow I´m getting annoyed by ppl mining gold on edds
thorny geyser
but why
its there, why not take it
unless it costs you a game, there is no reason not to mine it
fringe kettle
Because it's a huge waste of time. The longer you're in a dive, the harder it becomes because of scaling.
paper meteor
yep, over the course of a game you will probably trigger a few more waves if you waste time with it. also you are distracted while mining it instead of doing something helpful.
and gold is generally meaningless for most people who play edds
thorny geyser
Sounds like elf talk to me.
Self-destructive greed never hurt anyone.

I mean I did it with randoms, but I also did it Thursday when it came out. Most competent randoms have already completed it. Your best bet is to find a buddy and duo it.
And it's 2 because enemy difficulty scaling from 1 to 2 people is negligible
You basically double your utility and firepower with no discernable increase in enemy difficulty.

do i have bosco with me in solo deep dives?
bitter garnet
Deep Dives are rather recent, the game came out in early access almost two years ago.
So ofcourse the % would be absurdly low
sacred night
u need to promote character, and ppl kinda scare 'em, cuz it's like endgame content, some suff like raids in mmos
and ppls don't host much (atleast in my region) and usually ask for 3+ stars and some shit like that
marble rock
Does the deep dives have a timer like point extraction
kind vale
hosting deep dive
bitter garnet
@marble rock If it has PE, yes. In fact, if there's a PE on the Deep Dive, it will take into account the time spent during the ENTIRE ordeal. So if there's a DD that has PE as the third mission, you better prepare your ass - Consider speedrunning it when this happens
frail zodiac
i dont think it works that way
marble rock
Is there any way to check if there is a timer running for enemy spawns?
In DD, EDD and normal maps?
azure terrace
aka not the PE timer
austere pond
It does actually work that way
THere's no separate time tracking for every deep dive stage
So having PE last will make it scale from the time you ended previous stage
Which is why PEs in DDs and EDDs can easily be the hardest even without modifiers
warm ferry
Huh, TIL PE had a timer.
azure terrace
Yes, but we're not talking about the PE timer and its interaction with the deep time total time.

Ah well, Nelo's statement confused me

gold is something I mine in EDD only when I'm 100% confident that the team is skilled enough to afford the time delay
slim zenith
gold is something I mine in EDD only when I desire more gold
this is nearly 100% of the time 🏴☠️ 👌
bitter garnet
If you are with randoms in an EDD, you skip gold.
If you want gold, do normal games with gold rush or gold bugs.
thorny geyser
I do just fine with randos in EDD while grabbing gold. Generally.
feral atlas
on EDDs such as this weeks or last week's sure
they're basically DD difficulty; early game crit weakness lets you bank massive amounts of nitra, it's silly
but sometimes you don't get a free win EDD see, or you get those teams
thorny geyser
I'm not gonna rush out of the triangulation zone to mine gold, but if its there and I can grab it, I'll take it.
wraith shard
i only bother mining gold if im not doing anything else or if im driller I just yeet it with a satchel

C4 is great for gold and dystrum
I don't use it for combat because I run the bigger mining radius mod and blasting big craters all over the floor that your teammates fall into tends to create more problems than it solves

latent hamlet
@inner void i encourage you to look for opportunities to not only mine a vein, but also reduce the enemy numbers
many drillers focus c4 on one or the other
but there are many opportunities to do both
pearl locust
Any tips for a new player?
latent hamlet
dont feel bad about not doing hardest haz
use your terrain scanner even if you dont understand it immediately
(TAB)
try and keep an idea of the room layout in your head so you know how to move around terrain
a lot of skill for this game simply comes with experience and an understanding of what each class can do with the tools available to it, and how they can interact with each other
and keep an eye on molly's positioning when you call her in relation to the room that you are in
it can help you later down the line when you are playing some of the negative modifiers and when you are playing in a full team
thorny geyser
Target priorities can make or break swarm fights. Take out most dangerous targets first, these are usually mactera spawn, slashers and menaces.
inner void
In theory if we get all weapon overclocks available what happens if we do a deep dive stage 2?
Would it give us a cosmetic instead? Or one of the old mineral containers?
versed willow
Either or.
In experimental I got mineral containers for DDs, victory poses and minerals from forging.
inner void
Hmm okay, seems like it defaults to minerals if you roll a weapon drop but already have them all.
Maybe they should change that to blank cores.
On the other hand if there is ever any gap in the flow of new content that would let people bank cores and unlock stuff too fast. (not that players would complain I suspect)
heavy coyote
Hi. I can't get reward from karsite infection. what is wrong? box is unuseable. challenge was completed

Do you have a blank core?

We'll add a reward for completing it soon. I think it will be XP and credits.

okay, no reward then 😦
full saddle

spare delta

dense obsidian
Maybe some stuff from the cargo crate cosmetic pool?
Fallback of a mineral container so you can progress forge levels a tad.
Would be weird having relatively common and easy to activate crates having better rewards than machine events.
sly turtle
is it just me or is anybody else excited for the shooting range so we can test these nice overclocks?
stable gate
I test them in matches
You wont know how effective something is till you try it in practice against aliens
Why are there no crafting materials in deep dives?
When i lose the 3rd round there isnt much incentive for me to try again
Sure i can get the cosmetic but those 2 games to get to 3rd again kinda suck, i'd rather play 2 regular matches and get more shit + machine events
exotic oxide
It's a good design decision
You can do deep dives to get the overclocks, but you need to do regular missions to get the materials for them
It's a gameplay loop that doesn't split the player base across different gamemodes
glances at vermintide 2
unique spoke
i disagree
the concept of a deep dive as a mission type in general has potential but there us literally zero reason to do it outside of your weekly reset
that is not good design
wraith shard
deep dives would be way more interesting if there were anything more to do inside of them than just hit the objectives, then the drop pod button
stable gate
I like the deep dives but theyre definitely one and done
And like i said i often cant even be bothered to do it again if i need to complete the 3rd mission still
Maybe the missions you already got a reward for can give something else
Like some ingredients or crafting materials
blissful matrix
@stable gate I'm hoping that the firing range will allow us to spawn mobs to test break points.

Thanks!.
brave dune
I wish for a way to get more 
that isn't time-gated bullshit
like as a reward for finishing a DD/EDD multiple times, so there's more motivation to help out the poor greenbeards that struggle
feral atlas
If you need a reward to do something good.
Then you're just out for the reward.
It's pretty facetious to use "helping greenbeards" as reasoning for getting more blank cores.
feral atlas
Honestly, if you need more blank cores to make you keep playing with greenbeards.
Then, maybe, you just don't want to play with them, or think it's not worth the trouble.
wraith shard
the only reason anyone does deep dives are the rewards, they are much less interesting then normal missions because extra side items are cut out of them
blissful lantern
it bugged or ?
sturdy oracle
I love deep dives, for the record
wraith shard
it is likely intentional, probably because they thought adding three missions worth of stuff sandwiched together would be too easy to farm over and over
the only challenge about them is having to do three missions consecutively but even then the pooled nitra can make it very easy
not having to worry about side objectives like crafting minerals, cargo crates, or other buried valuables means there are much less things to distract you and keep you in the mission to ramp up the difficulty
sturdy oracle
I like that the maps blend the features of the two missions to make unique layouts. And mutators + double primaries more than makes up for the lack of minerals & crates. Dreadnoughts + mining missions swarms are WAY more dynamic than finding a jadiz!
wraith shard
they could just as easily made normal missions with multiple objectives instead of a deep dive system with exclusive rewards though
brave dune
Running DDs multiple times isn't worth the trouble, you're right
and those who can't finish them, let them be then
feral atlas
Running it multiple times is only worth it if you actually enjoy the experience.
wraith shard
big brain: put six primary and six secondary objectives on a 3x size map
feral atlas
Doing it as a public service is...weird
Not going to stop anybody from doing it though.
wraith shard
also why no exp on deep dives for minerals mined and hostiles killed
feral atlas
I don't think it's anybody's problem but one's own if one isn't good enough to finish EDD or DD
wraith shard
even less reason to hang about
feral atlas
xp matters?

wraith shard
yes we all know the optimum solution
but just barring it from happening on deep dives is a weird choice
feral atlas
sure, not against adding the xp
wraith shard
mfw didn’t grind enough during triple xp missions
feral atlas
but I also don't see it as a problem worth fixing
brave dune
just a little carrot to keep those who want more to keep the DD playerbase alive and more experienced
blissful lantern
so it's just me or there's no available DD missions ?
wraith shard
the problem is hopefully a simple fix of swapping the bit on a boolean var from false to true
blissful lantern
So what the fuck, what's the answer to my question
Am I experiencing a bug or it is intended

There is no DD specific playerbase. There's just the hardcore crowd, and the casual crowd
wraith shard
people only put up with running the deep dives for the exclusive rewards you cant get anywhere else except the assignment
feral atlas
Which experience the dives differently
brave dune
I use the word playerbase in place of a better word for it
wraith shard
its all timegates for some unholy reason to string people along into playing it
feral atlas
Population is a better word.
brave dune
yeah
feral atlas
If you want to help the casual population complete EDD, why do you need a reward for it?
If you like it, do it.
If you don't like it, don't do it.
dense obsidian
The timegating is pretty terrible.
"We don't trust our game to be good enough through gameplay so we gotta artificially pad this out"
When it does absolutely fine by itself.
feral atlas
It's honestly nobody's problem if they can't complete it but their own. I honestly don't care if the devs took pity on them and gave cores for free.
brave dune
helping the casual population is just a side effect of the carrot for the more experienced players who want more
feral atlas
Not really.
It's a punishment almost.
For certain compulsive players, it's feels like just more grind.
Instead of a one and done per week.
paper meteor
finally edd done
driller built us some cool bunkers on the last one, I am not the biggest bunker fan but still cool
feral atlas
Personally, I would rather just give everybody every OC.
And let people that want to play the EDD for the experience do so.
blissful lantern
should make every OC available by crafting
but then it should be expensive as hell for the unstables ones etc
feral atlas
The reward structure as it is basically means haz2 level players are throwing themselves at a haz5 mission with no hope of actually winning without getting carried.
brave dune
That would be ideal, but it's almost 2020. There has to be time-gated content to get that sweet sweet playercount spike on Thursdays
feral atlas
Meh, it honestly doesn't really affect me.
I use Haz5 core hunt on Thursday as my EDD queue.
Ultimately the issue isn't the fact that casuals can't beat EDD.
The issue is that casuals feel like they must attempt EDD without any reasonable hope of success.
The solution isn't creating yet more grind to push hardcore players to carry them.
cerulean magnet
The solution is to just play the game and have fun
feral atlas
with caveats, ofc
bitter garnet
The solution is to play the game and have fun, while improving on the game to eventually be able to do EDD without needing to get carried.
bitter garnet
Oh no!
wraith shard

quiet wyvern
that 2 word phrase you speak of no longer works for anyone
wraith shard
I'm gonna deep dive my foot in ur arse!
I honestly just think the scaling to deep dives for groups of 3 and 4 players are a little heavy handed.
I also think some of the weapons have pretty low value frags per shot.
Some of the weapons can make up for it with high utilitarian use but some have very little utility and very little bullet value.
strong haven
What's the deal with people leaving in EDD's? It's been almost constant and it's made it quite difficult to finish it. I've been waiting for my friends to start doing Deep Dives to start and the normal Deep Dive was sort of just challenging ish with my friends, but nothing too hard. I figured the EDD's would be too hard for them though and dang I sorta feel justified. Even when we didn't have a leaver we just get overwhelmed on the second or third mission, always after the first dreadnaut is down or right before the 3rd mission's pod take off. (Haven't had a driller several times which would've helped with swarm control which I think would've made a huge difference.)
smoky cliff
You said finish giggidy
strong haven
Are people just struggling with the fact they go down so fast and they ragequit or what's the deal? I'd really like that 3rd overclock but I doubt I'll get it. I'm a scout and Gunner primarily so far but have less experience in the game than many (Plvl 26)
bitter garnet
Well, you are rather new
If people leave is because they are fed up with others failing miserably and want to try a new team
Although the thing is, one or two days before Thursday would be the worst days to try and do EDD
Veterans do the EDD the very same day or on Friday, some of them on the weekends but they never do it on monday-wed
So people that cannot do EDD but believe that they can, will keep trying and eventually the pool of players left will be those that don't have what it takes to do an EDD.
By no means EDD is hard, if you are struggling, play the game more and learn. When you are able to do Hz5 without much of a problem, you should be ready for EDD.
strong haven
I might be new but I was doing alright. Usually had a pretty high combat and mine score and wasn't going down as much as the others. And I don't really have my weekends off so it's harder to do it then :/
Duly noted though, thank you.

Meanwhile I'm here, looking to play more deep dives, but have been having crash issues for the past 2 weeks, when I never crashed before then. It's a D3D device (in unreal) error, which typically means overheating, but I've run a second monitor showing my performance, and I should be fine but am crashing at nearly completely random times.

I dunno if it was just me but even with a gunner on minigun the dreads were awfully tanky in this EDD, maybe i was just getting meh teammates but whenever i went to damage it(warthog, cyclic overload) the fight would move along much faster

There have been a couple of times where I found myself dealing much lower damage than I was used to, only for a teamate to come in and finish one off rather quick, guess I need some better overclocks (most of mine have been unlucky, except carpet bomber)

I felt like minigun chewed through them easy. I had problems as engie and scout though.
wraith shard
gunner even viable at 4 difficulty on 3 complex and 3 cave length?
feels way to slow to survive vs the eng and scout
it's my favorite class so i wanna know how i can be a better gunner in harder games or hard deep dives
full saddle
on hard deep dives where you need to defend a location, gunner is greatly appreciated
high damage and the shield generator is a lifesaver
your mobility isnt great, true, but there are chances to use it that will help your team out significantly
some other people are knowledgable on gunner and you might get better answers by asking in the general chat

Shield Gen can really save lives

Hello there
I just wanted to ask. Are machine events the only non RNG way to get overclocks?
Cause, it’s a bit frustrating when the first 6 overclocks I get are not for the class I main.
frail zodiac
yes

My understanding is you have to play with your promoted character. You can’t promote say 3 then use you single unprompted class. You’d have to use one of those 3.

How are deep dives formed? Are they just auto-generated with an algorithm?

I'd guess so, since they still have the weird DRG quirks (things spawning in odd nooks, dirt patches that lead nowhere etc)

If you are having trouble with this EDD, speed run it. That's how it gets easy, ignore absolutely all gold and excess of nitra.

Im not talking to (only) you though, I would have pinged if that was the case. "You" can also mean plural. I know that English is absurd sometimes.
tardy wyvern
oh
halcyon wadi
@bitter garnet Do you recommend doing the black box before collecting the aquarqs in 3rd stage?
This is in solo btw
bitter garnet
No, because that requires the entire team. You need the extra breathing room to gather the aquarqs so your team can spread.
frail zodiac
earlier the better
we did it last tho, but that was 4 man and we had all the nitra in the world
bitter garnet
Thats' why its better to do the black box at the end
You spam all the resupplies you can right there

thats irrelevant, youre at the 3rd stage
bitter garnet
Then press the button

The frost vents keep getting me as I try to dodge the mactera spit lol

youre not gonna call enough supplies to finish your nitra

This EDD is not that hard
But last stage being PE can easily fuck people over if they don't rush previous stages
Also it's best to do EDDs in duos
Because the difference between scaling for solo player and scaling for duo is minimal
While after that it gets way more relevant
So if you're struggling with this EDD do it in duo as gunner and driller

Not saying that EDDs cannot be easy, because many of them are.

Are you only meant to be able to get one overclock out of each deep dive? I've completed both current deep dives twice, but didn't get any out of them the 2nd times round
bitter garnet
One reward per stage per deep dive. You cannot repeat it.
Meaning, 1 blank core 1 OC 1 cosmetic for Deep Dive, then the same for EDD and finally the same for Breach the core
Making it 3 Blanks, 3 OCs and 3 Cosmetics if you do all of it.
Then by crafting, you get forge mastery, which gives you an OC or cosmetic.
With Mastery we are getting at the moment if I remember right 1.5OCs
cerulean magnet
9 total cores a week is 2 1/4 crafting mastery a week additionally
It's 5 bars, one of which is filled from the previous level's completion reward

Anyone try out different comps for deep dive than 1 of each class that worked better than expected? Which class did you drop? Which did you double up on?
feral atlas
Any comp can work if you're good enough.
Otherwise, if you're actually trying to win, the only nonstandard comps I've seen taken, when actually playing to win, are replacing driller with either a 2nd gunner or 2nd engi.
vapid meadow
Interesting, I was thinking about replacing driller with engi
feral atlas
Assuming you are not going in blind.
vapid meadow
You mean someone has done it before?
feral atlas
By going in blind, I mean doing the dive without knowing any missions or modifiers.
bitter garnet
It's pretty common to see 2 gunners 1 engi 1 scout on DDs
Shield, Pheromones, Shield
Can't go down
Driller is a good class, it's just that this allows for easy cheesing
feral atlas
Driller's issue is that he has no panic button, and he is rarely required in a perform or we lose scenario.
Gunner and scout have panic buttons, but scout is not a good class to stack because of ammo economy issues and lack of general kill power.
Engi is just overall good, and nearly essential for any static defense sections.
vapid meadow
My buddy and I have been having a good time doing double engi on Haz5 missions, makes for a pretty solid defense
But if you do get in trouble, when moving around or something, you're out of luck
