playstation

[quiet cliff]

Or do a safe OC

Just for a small gun bump

[icy sage]

Yeah but then just put the stuff in as extra cargo etc. it needs some extended play. Getting it done already is pretty fast

Put in an over lock reroll or whatever. Dunno but it’s pretty short at 100 with so many event happening all over for it

[mossy hatch]

Only fast if you make it fast and have plenty of time to play. Some will finish it, but they're probably the minority of players. It seems fine as is

[icy sage]

If they don’t finish it. It’s free not like it’s paid and has to be made to be finished so they don’t feel cheated

Make it lvl 200 for next reward

[plain sphinx]

Average playtime per person is under 30 hours last time that data was shared with the community. The majority will never complete it. Making it so only the long time fans get rewards in a reasonable timespan turns away newer players.

[native wren]

Looking for 2 people with mics 18+ message me

[mossy hatch]

The point is you accomplished something many will not. And you already keep getting something for your efforts. Not sure what more would make sense. And that 650,000 Credits you think is enough won't even buy me three promotions at this point, so the bonus Credits over 100 is far from nothing

[mossy hatch]

Might want to try the #lfg-playstation channel

[soft sentinel]

The general vibe of this game is fun and I love it but I can totally see some people dropping it after playing for a week since missions repeat so much.

[mossy hatch]

They do and they don't. You never know how a mission will go, especially on higher hazard levels

[modest vapor]

hi i have some problem on the game, when i try to start an online game or invite a friend it gives me an error does anyone know how to fix ? i've tried to leave the group before but it doesn't work anyway.

[mossy hatch]

It's all procedural, and as easy or as challenging as you want to make it

[soft sentinel]

I've uh.. i've stuck to hazard 2..

[raven token]

if youre familiar with FPS games you can go straight to haz 3/4

[mossy hatch]

That will probably lose it's excitement for most people once they get some upgrades and perks. I recommend Haz 3 for most after the first few hours. Haz 4 is a fun mix of challenge and success once you've started getting some good strats and gear

[raven token]

haz 1/2 is seriously for people with no prior FPS experience i'd argue

most people play on haz 4 id think, or haz 3/4

[quiet cliff]

Really?

Like I had to start at 3 cuz the game is baby mode

Haz 4 is now my base

And haz 5 is when I'm with people I trust

[soft sentinel]

Hazard 2 was default i believe..

[icy sage]

If you’re only gonna play 30 or less and not complete it. It’s not for you anyways so that’s not gonna turn you away. You got ADHD turning you away oh look new shiny thing

[quiet cliff]

Hazard 2 put up no resistance for me

[raven token]

seriously comparing haz 2 and 4 are like two different games

[quiet cliff]

Haz4 is like actually kinda challenging depending on mission and modifiers

[soft sentinel]

But yea, I've stuck to it. I've got good mods on my stuff so yea I can throw out the idea of bumping the hazard to my friends

[quiet cliff]

And haz 5 is tryhard mode

If I'm prepped to sweat I jump for 5

[mossy hatch]

Take a picture of any error messages you get, and post it in here:
https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/929077046657826817
And then check the pinned messages in this channel for some things to try

[raven token]

sticking to haz 2 will def make one want to drop the game after a week

[quiet cliff]

Haz 1: give it to your kid
Haz 2: turn off your brain and play
Haz 3: I've played a few videogames before
Haz 4: I've played horde shooters before
Haz 5: wow this game is kinda hard
EDD/Haz5 with two neg modifier: okay now it's hard

[icy sage]

Then why they put in trophy and achieve that even medium tier players won’t ever get to. So y’all’s point on battle pass levels is null

[raven token]

then there are mods like haz 6 or starship troopers: guess i'll just die

[plain sphinx]

Focusing on longtime players is a good way to kill a playerbase. You need to bring in new blood. The whole goal of the season pass is to increase the average playtime per person.

[quiet cliff]

Beating a haz 5 without getting downed or calling resupply?

Running 5 haz 5 in a row without fail?

Those are mid tier achives?

I mean for a casual player

[mossy hatch]

Achievements/Trophies also aren't intended for everyone to complete. That's why they're achievements. If everyone did them, they'd just be called "playing the game"

[quiet cliff]

Those aren't just haha easy

[icy sage]

And battle pass can’t be achievements it has to be a hand out ?

[quiet cliff]

Battle passes aren't ever for achievements

[cold sapphire]

just do aquarq missions

[quiet cliff]

It's about player engagment

[cold sapphire]

easy af

[quiet cliff]

It's about keeping people playing

[mossy hatch]

What? It's not a hand out. Not everyone will complete it

[quiet cliff]

Any login bonus any battle pass is about keeping people playing

[icy sage]

Having a platinum un obtainable without like 400+++ hours is worse than a free battle pas having extending grindable levels

[raven token]

i really dont get how people get so focused on the battle pass, honestly for me i never even paid attention to it, loot bug lover is kinda neat but thats also just an cosmetic. but i get that its for each their own

[quiet cliff]

What about barrel bosco?

[mossy hatch]

Battle Pass is just a fun extra thing, so that folks who already have literally everything can still get something fun for completing missions

[quiet cliff]

Barrel bosco is hot

[raven token]

is nice but i almost never play solo 😦

[soft sentinel]

broadly gestured to the waves of new players cuz of PS+

[novel storm]

Ghost of Tsushima's trophies were just playing the game. Either way I don't think I'll go for all the achievements, sounds very time consuming tbh

[raven token]

the real achievements are the fun times you have whilst on missions 🙂

[quiet cliff]

Exactly. If you entice them with cool stuff for continuing to play... they'll play

Hence the battle pass is there with PS4 release

[soft sentinel]

I very much enjoy the game but do die on occassion for a variety of reasons. Like the giant exploder that peeked in the drill dozer mission and team wiped the 3 of us instantly like.. tf it was the first time we ever saw that enemy.

[quiet cliff]

It depends on hazard

Massive exploder is an large threat

[soft sentinel]

it was Hazard 2

[quiet cliff]

Along with the oppressor and others

[soft sentinel]

[quiet cliff]

It always has a chance to spawn

Just more often or in higher amounts as hazard rises

And it's dependent on player count too

[soft sentinel]

Yea but.. it team wiped.. We werent even sure what it was. i looked in the beastiary thinking it was a dreadnaught then we died to it again on the next mission where two of us were next to it and me with 5hp was running away from it to fix the drilldozer.

[raven token]

the 1st time encountering a bulk is guaranteed chaos, but you learn quickly how to deal with it. it also gives sound cues a mile away before you can see it (unless it spawns directly on you)

some missions you just lose, thats the way she goes

[soft sentinel]

I'd bet a lung it spawned on us the first time

3rd encounter we killed it though, and got like 200 gold from the crater xD

[raven token]

ooh that one was a crassus

[quiet cliff]

Oh you saw a crassus det

Thats a super rare spawn

Normal ones don't do that

[raven token]

its a variation of the Bulk, which explodes into a great crater of gold

but otherwise it works just as a normal Bulk

[novel storm]

I must have found like 5 Crassus, one spawned 48 seconds in

[soft sentinel]

Bruh

[icy sage]

Think Crassus is more armored though

[quiet cliff]

I don't think it has the back pimples though?

Golden cras doesn't do the back pimple mines

[novel storm]

Crassus does have higher health

[quiet cliff]

Iirc

[soft sentinel]

You tellin me the one we killed was a super rare one?!

[quiet cliff]

A rare variant yes

[raven token]

the sound cues in this game are actually top notch, you could almost play the game blind. so learning the sounds of bugs gives super dwarven situational awareness, and that comes with experience

[quiet cliff]

something something grabber screech

[novel storm]

Indeed

[quiet cliff]

I recall a moment just yesterday

Where me and a friend argued about hearing a bug

I said i heard a mactera

He said i heard prae

We walked about. 200 m more in the cave

[novel storm]

And he got grabbed?

[quiet cliff]

And found both

In the same spot

[novel storm]

Oh lmao

[quiet cliff]

Dwarven hearing is no joke

A normal prae and a mactera spawn

Just chillin

[novel storm]

You heard them far it seems

[quiet cliff]

My guess is

We looped around the cave room

Weird spawning caves

And we didn't bother digging through the wall

But yeah

It just goes to show

You can tell alot from sound

If you're not blasting the music at 200% volume

[crisp badger]

I found this black and white cube does anyone know what it does?

[novel storm]

Error cube

[raven token]

deposit it and you will get extra xp

[quiet cliff]

It's the c u b e

[crisp badger]

Ok thanks

[pseudo jasper]

[quiet cliff]

My friend actually just messaged me

About seeing his first crassus just now XD

[novel storm]

Oh nice

Seems most people are finding it, it's fun

[cold sapphire]

i heard that they wanted to give it an actual use

and it would make sense seeing as its being tracked how many you own

[soft sentinel]

Is the cube the alien artifact mentioned in the trophies??

[honest adder]

yep

[fading onyx]

Hi

I’m on a mission

[cold sapphire]

yep

[high adder]

I need help !!! I cannot change the last gun modifications for my mini gun or other secondaries has anyone run into this issue????

[cold sapphire]

known issue

apparently it happens when you equip an overclock

some people cant change the last upgrade afterwards

[fading onyx]

It says as one of the challenges for my mission is collect 3 pipelines

[full marten]

they say its on the fix list. more and more of us a day are being affected by the oc bug

[high adder]

How do I correct or for this issue if at all possible?

[cold sapphire]

dont think you can

[mossy hatch]

The devs will fix it, but there's nothing you can do in the meantime besides making sure you select a Tier 5 mod you want to be stuck with before even looking at the Overclocks

[high adder]

So I'm stuck with that mod until a fix comes out ? I'm new to the game so how long did they take to update and fix bugs like these?

[cold sapphire]

does it happen randomly?

[novel storm]

It doesn't seem to go away

[frank bolt]

I guess i don't even get a character select screen anymore when joining mission, neat

[mossy hatch]

Yes, unfortunately stuck. And if you look at Overclocks for any other weapon those will be stuck too, so pick the mod you want first. The devs are great, they'll fix it as fast as they can, but there's no way to know how long it will take. It seems to be a widespread issue, so hopefully that means it's easy for them to reproduce, find the cause, and fix. I would guess sometime this week at the earliest

[mossy hatch]

Seems to. But it might only be PS5 players, or maybe only PS4 players, or maybe it's something else entirely

[fading onyx]

help!!!! On my mission one of the challenges says connect three pipelines what do I do?

[cold sapphire]

connect pipelines

lol

[fading onyx]

There is none

[cold sapphire]

gotta call in pumjacks

[fading onyx]

Wdym?

[cold sapphire]

i think it might be a ps4 issue since i havent heard anyone with a ps5 having that problem

[plain sphinx]

refer to the miners manual for how to complete missions

[full marten]

you find and cap the blue smokey spots. then go to the rig and pull the cords/pipelines to those rigs. then you build those pipes. then repair them 2-3 times

[cold sapphire]

or just tell bosco to repair them for you

[mossy hatch]

Find the Liquid Morkite deposit (loud blue smoke at the location), you'll get a prompt to call in the Pumpjack, and then you must manually lay down the pipe and construct it, starting at the Rig and working your way to each Pumpjack

[fading onyx]

Thx

U oh

On the blue smoke I put a drill thing on it

[mossy hatch]

It could be. I haven't seen people mentioning which system they're on when encountering the issue

[fading onyx]

Is that bad,

[mossy hatch]

Yeah, that's correct

Build a pipe from the Rig to that Drill

[fading onyx]

how do I put a pipe

[mossy hatch]

The Miner's Manual can probably help you quicker than I can. If you open the menu, you should see an option for the Miner's Manual

[fading onyx]

Okay thanks

I understand now

[full marten]

dont feel bad i took forever to figure out that mission the first time i ran into it.

just look around the rig till you see numbers then look for a pop up of use option to apear. after that it will almost sertanly come together for you. as it did me.

[icy sage]

I think their first mission should been like one pump and like 29 feet away so they know.

I’ve seen some absolute monstrosity of pipe levels I just noped out of the mission

[cold sapphire]

yea you need a driller for those

[dense iron]

A buddy and I have had some interesting pipe placement

[cold sapphire]

i just got 400 jadiz from a single mission

mineral mania op

[mossy hatch]

"Need" a driller for those? Nah. Nice to have a driller, sure. All you really need, and this is only really if you want to do things relatively quickly, is someone with more firepower than Bosco to watch your back while you place the pipe. After that, everything's pretty easy

[cold sapphire]

the deposit spawn in such a way that without an engi/driller it would take ages to get to it

[icy sage]

Just another reason to not be gunner 🙂

[restive ravine]

😅 is gunner not liked?

[icy sage]

Just not too versatile as others can bring stuff to the team

Other classes gun better too

[restive ravine]

Fair enough

Only started yesterday

Enjoyed the mini gun and zip line combo

[mossy hatch]

You can dig a straight path through the worst parts without a driller, and it doesn't take too long with someone watching your back. Even without someone, it's never that bad to dig anywhere without a driller on Haz 3. Haz 4 can get a bit more dicey. Haz 5, is really the only time I'd say you would really miss a driller on a Refinery mission

[icy sage]

Gunner not bad but need to be intelligent with the shield for the team to be the most use

So many just ignore their dpad up

[mossy hatch]

Gunner is a great place to start. You're solid and can be fully self-reliant. I think it's the most approachable class, but has the least unique gameplay (the zipline is kinda novel, but slow)

The minigun is fun as heck though

[icy sage]

Zip atleast for gunner himself should traverse faster. Others can be slow using it as now but gunner should use it 33% faster

[faint lotus]

Can this game not run UHD on the ps5? Set it to fidelity and still switches to 1080p when you boot up the game

[mossy hatch]

The accelerating on the downslope of a zipline is never not fun, at least

[faint lotus]

There is a 120hz option that I am sticking to but damn

[icy sage]

Got a 8k tv with 8k compatible hdmi and hdmi2 port to plug it into ?

[faint lotus]

Sorry I meant QHD my bad

Lol

It's late

[icy sage]

What’s qhd

[faint lotus]

2160p

I hope I'm getting it right ... no matter you have the number lol

Ain't got that 4 monitor but have the one in between

Turns out that is 4k I'm dumb... gonna go and curl up in a ball from shame

or as Google says pretty much 4k

Well nevermind... my Monitor is running at that and then it switches to 1080p when I boot the game up

That's what I'm trying to figure out

[lofty bolt]

Anyone know if there's any reason to keep promoting 🤔

Other than the first promotion for deep dives is it just sort of for show

[frail herald]

For The trophys mostly, for me atleast

@lofty bolt

[lofty bolt]

Hmm surprised there isn't like a cosmetic for the class at the highest rank or something

[mossy hatch]

Yeah, every promotion after the first is cosmetic. The dwarf prestige level is the most obvious, but there are cosmetics that come from Assignments that unlock at higher blue player levels. The blue player level only goes up one level per three dwarf levels. If you stop promoting you stop gaining dwarf levels, which means you stop gaining the blue player levels. I think you'd top out around player level 66 or so, which won't unlock all of the cosmetic Assignments

[lofty bolt]

Ohhhh that's good to know couldn't find anything when I was browsing

Awesome welp time to farm another 40 hours as engi or more

[mossy hatch]

If you haven't yet done the first promotion for each class already, I'd recommend that first as it allows you the most versatility, but it's certainly not necessary

[vapid shore]

Anyone wana join me?

[mossy hatch]

Might want to try the #lfg-playstation channel

[covert valve]

Anyone getting framedrops on ps5?

I get ones from 60 to 40 on fidelity and from 60 to 48 on performance but apparently the game can run at 120 fps so it doesnt really make sense

(I have a 60hz tv so cant run 120 but still dont think i should be getting framedrops)

[timber needle]

Frames drop pretty regularly

Ps4 is supposed to be 60 fps but its really usually around like 40-45

And ive had it go all the way down to 12

It is what it is though

Games still fun even if its a slideshow

If anything that just goes to show how much shit is loaded in at once

[cold sapphire]

look at haz 5 waves lmao

20 million bugs moving around

if you wanna play a slideshow

go for a point extraction

golden bugs

make a bunker and sit there

kill everything

and watch your frames drop to 3 because theres 3 thousand golden nuggets on the floor

[fickle apex]

Just met and played with a player who is already silver promotion as the driller

Guy was a god too, did the entire elite deep dive in just over 45 minutes

At the rate hes playing he'll have the platinum trophy in like under 3 months

[upbeat island]

Damn I'm a scout main lol I use the grappling gun to just zip about and slaughter bugs

[upbeat island]

My PS4 proceeding to make Jet noises

[cold sapphire]

he probably coulve had gold already

with some late night gamin

[novel storm]

I have like 60 hours played but only promoted driller and engineer once

I want to promote everyone for the perk slot and the deep dives

[upbeat island]

Late night gaming?
[Laughs with all nighter loneliness]

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-lmao-too-funny-gif-22030785

[novel storm]

Loneliness? I was at 5AM with randoms drinking beers and laughing my ass off. It was amazing

[upbeat island]

I mean as in how most people don't have mics
But the music slaps when a swarm is coming

[novel storm]

Oh they don't

But they aren't even needed

[upbeat island]

I remember earlier today I was playing with some randoms and I had my mic on and this guy left me to die as he ran to drop pod and I was like "oh come on man why"
Then we failed
Then we tried another mission and randoms who actually were pretty good got us a successful mission

[upbeat island]

I guess lol

[novel storm]

I usually always go to revive people who fall behind

[upbeat island]

Was downed and everything and my dude ditched me

[novel storm]

It's such a rush

[upbeat island]

Same if someone gets downed I go back for them

Plus we was right next to the drop pod

[novel storm]

It tends to happen when people aren't very good and cower away

I have pretty much tamed hazard 3 now and want to go on 4 consistently

[upbeat island]

Then he died and imagine how disappointed I was
In my mind I had this whole anime monologue of how I just wanted to get to the drop pod and have a beer 🤣 even in really bad times i always try to laugh lol

[novel storm]

It's insane what a gunner can do as well

[upbeat island]

Gunners are a pretty good class if you can use them well

I'm good with scout because of the grappling gun it makes me agile and able to hit enemies and get back to safety or grapple to someone that's downed and the grenades can slow down a ton of bugs if they're giving me too much trouble

[novel storm]

Yeah I just like to chill and have a laugh, this game is my break from more stressful experiences

[upbeat island]

Yeah. Although I did lose my temper a bit but it was more as in a disappointed anger instead of like pure rage

[novel storm]

The stuff a good Scout can do is insane

[upbeat island]

Especially because of how close we were to drop pod too it's just really bugged me a good mission went to waste

[novel storm]

Yea that happens to me often but I just brush it off and go again

I spent 55 minutes in a mission just to die because high ping made me fall off a cliff lmao

[upbeat island]

Just taught him next time to try revive people instead of ditching them

[upbeat island]

I lost one with my friend it was about an hour and 17 minutes in and he was struggling to grapple up because he was new even after I showed him what to do step by step as I was getting swarmed and he still died and I was like "Fine this round of beers is on me because I feel bad"

[novel storm]

It happens a lot lmao

[upbeat island]

There was too many bugs and I tried saving him but I got killed off after running out of ammo

[upbeat island]

Yeah the game did just came out on PlayStation so I can't expect so much

But still bums me when I lose a good mission

[novel storm]

Yea it sucks because of the time you put in

With a good team it's amazing

I did the deep dive yesterday, my teammates were insane

[upbeat island]

Yeah with a scout and engineer it's pretty op since I'm tough to reach places to get an ore an engineer can put a platform down for the scout to land on then he can mine the ore on the high area

[novel storm]

Yup that's like the main synergy

[upbeat island]

Also a tip I wanna give people
If you're a scout and you grapple to a high area with no way down call the mule and try to land on it

[upbeat island]

But don't let go of R2 keep that held down like your life depend on it (because it does)

[novel storm]

I'll try to use the grapple properly

For preventing fall damage and all that

[upbeat island]

It's saved me from falling to my death by being a platform to land on then recharge my grapple

[novel storm]

That's a cool tip

[upbeat island]

Yeah just sometimes when it gets dark its tough to know what your aiming at 😅

[novel storm]

Flares are so important

[upbeat island]

I only noticed it because there was this giant hole leading up so I told my friend I'm gonna go up there and told him to revive me if I fall then I accidentally called in the mule and she went right under my drwaf so I letted go and landed on her and then got to safety luckily 😅

[upbeat island]

Yeah without good lighting it can really screw you over

[novel storm]

Btw you can also drop on top of your teammates

Without getting hurt

[upbeat island]

Yeah and bounce of their heads too lol

It's funny how high you can go sometimes

[novel storm]

Oh for sure

Some caves have a lot of verticality it's insane

[upbeat island]

Speaking of caves I saw this big one today that literally had so much ore it was literal heaven lol

[novel storm]

Really gives sense of adventure

[upbeat island]

And returning back to classes for a second I feel like all classes are useful just you need someone who's good at using them

[upbeat island]

Yeah it's the first game I've actually enjoyed in a while

Since games now have only re-done the same safe formula for the last idk how many years it's gotten really dull

[novel storm]

Not many games are enjoyable solo with randoms and with friends

[upbeat island]

I guess it keeps investors happy because they know it'll do well but if you take a risk and your game is really good you'll have even more than if you just played it safe
Imo it's all about strategy and knowing what people actually want other than what is the safest way to make X amount of money

[upbeat island]

Yeah
My first game I properly played with other people was Roblox back when I was like 4

[novel storm]

Low effort addicting formula that makes a lot of money, that's all

[upbeat island]

Damn I feel old

[novel storm]

How long has it been since that approximately

[upbeat island]

Yeah thing is I wonder when or if it'll ever topple like their safe way of doing things just crashes down and forces them to actually make better games
Just like how the Devs of DRG made this awesome games

[upbeat island]

Almost 11 years

[worthy sand]

Anyone know if ps5 version can play with ps4 version, or do you both need ps4 version

[novel storm]

Ah damn

[upbeat island]

It should be able to but idk I'm assuming

[slender kite]

@worthy sand is cross gen

[worthy sand]

Is the bug fixed, where You can play with friends?

[upbeat island]

You wasn't able to play with friends?

[worthy sand]

Idk, I heard there is a bug

[upbeat island]

If so then it should be good I just played today with my friend just a few hours ago

[upbeat island]

Well when playing with randoms you may get disconnected here and there
I experienced it a bit but not when hosting my own private lobby with friends
Idk if that's BC of how good my internet is or if there's any other factors but yeah that's as much info as I can give

[upbeat island]

Gonna be in college soon ah I feel old 😅

[cold sapphire]

it works

sometimes invites refuse to work

but other than that its all fine

[covert valve]

Played with randos for the first time today
Fun, hilarious, and a bit mystifying
It was really crazy seeing classes commit all of the cardinal sins I've been reading about here and on reddit
It also felt like nobody did the tutorial lol

[upbeat island]

Ah yeah I had that issue
I just waited a bit and it worked

Or if you can't invite them make them try invite you and see if that works

[upbeat island]

Playing with randoms can be fun just be prepared to carry some people or deal with people not reviving you 😅 also some randoms could be absolutely god mode in their classes it's insane

[cold sapphire]

ive seen one guy host a public haz 5 session

[covert valve]

Yeah I don't want to sound like I'm some ace but I definitely did a good bit of carrying
I'm only account level 15 but I did the tutorial and some research so I had an idea of what I should be doing
I hate to be deadweight or bringing a team down when I'm new lol

[cold sapphire]

he must be crazy to think he'll get good teammates

[upbeat island]

Dw bout sounding like an ace confidence is a strong ability amigo
I'm pretty good with my scout with my zipping about and killing bugs lol I just try do my best so I don't slow my team down

The game is new on PlayStation so just got to wait for others to catch up

[covert valve]

Tbh I was a little worried at first since I started with driller and promoted it so I decided to try out scout for the first time when I was also playing with randos for the first time lmao
It was a little painful not getting platforms from the engi even after pinging so many high up mining spots

I wasn't about to plug in my mic and tell this man how to play lol

Definitely do love scout for sure though

[upbeat island]

I accidentally called someone a dumbass for leaving me downed and then apologized but the dude didn't seem to mind since he understood how irritated I was when we were both near drop pod and he left me downed

[upbeat island]

Try using mule as a platform to land on

[covert valve]

Ah yeah
I'll have to hope they don't call it while I'm on it up there

Hell I'd even take a driller axe to stand on

[upbeat island]

Hold R2 and call the mule in then land on top of it mine into the rock above the mining place then mine downwards till you find the ore

[novel agate]

How many of you are trying to split main several classes? I've been having so much fun with just about all of them. Only one I've promoted so far is scout because I've been leveling all 4. 😅

[upbeat island]

Even if they do you'll just ride down along with the mule so it'll be all good for your character but it'll be annoying trying to get the mineral

[upbeat island]

I just main scout because I'm op with how fast it is with grappling 😅 however I like all classes for my own different reasons

[novel agate]

I have a hard time seeing shit so I like the flares too as well as the grapple. I have to take breaks only because my eyes burn from strain trying to see stuff in the dark alot. 😭

[upbeat island]

Like gunner is good to protect others while mining or just sweeping the floor with bugs and placing down ziplines so if a scout falls from his grapple he can grab onto it before hitting the floor to avoid fall damage

[upbeat island]

Me who played DRG for 5 hours straight with my friend: yo what are eyes and how do you get them 🤣

[novel agate]

Yeah I game alot and my average days are 10 hours mostly and this game tests my will and eye power so much. 😂😂

[upbeat island]

Driller is good to make big exits and entrances to escape during drop pod when you have to make like a U-Haul out of there

[covert valve]

I played driller only til the first promotion
Love it so much
Went for Scout next since I love grappling hooks in games
I'll probably promote it and do engi next

[upbeat island]

This game has made me feel like some anime protagonist with scout 🤣 slaughtered so many bugs

[upbeat island]

I might just try promote my gunner and scout 😅

[novel agate]

Haha yeah I've had hella fun with it and I'm idk how many hours in.

[upbeat island]

And if I run out of bullets always got a trusty pickaxe but if there's a swarm and my team is downed I can't survive pickaxing a swarm of bugs that's too much 🥲

[covert valve]

I wanna promote everything once before I stick with my favorite for a while

[upbeat island]

I've probably spent at least over 24 hrs

[upbeat island]

Probably like 30 or 32

[covert valve]

I feel like I probably have around 30 hours in atm
Great game to play with podcasts in the background

[novel agate]

I just looked...my fiance has 118 and I have 108. 😂😂

[covert valve]

Damn

Is that playtime stat available in-game?
I've never looked

[upbeat island]

I'd say I'm concerned yet I have thousands of hours on YouTube on my switch
YouTube has a good story mode on switch guys believe me 🤣

[novel agate]

Nah I don't think so. We have ps5 so if we look at someone's profile and their games...it tells us hours played.

[covert valve]

Ah ok

I need to ask a PS5 friend my time then lol

[upbeat island]

Also fiancé
Congrats btw
Oh geez I feel like I'm getting even more old thinking about what I'm doing after I finish college 🥲

[novel agate]

Ps5 features are nice...no clue why they didn't give ps4 the changes in a system update.

[novel agate]

Thanks. And I'm sure you're not old lol.

[upbeat island]

I wish I had a ps5 right now 😕

[upbeat island]

I'm going college next year so not that old but my soon to be beard will say otherwise

[novel agate]

We got lucky at launch to get ours. And I'm 25 so I probably older than ya at that statement. 😅

[upbeat island]

Yeah I'm turning 15 this year coincidentally born on valentine's

[clever trail]

U can see the amount of time u have spent playing drg on the screen where u get perks

[covert valve]

Thanks!

[upbeat island]

I actually forgot that because it's right in the room

And I normally run past the room unless I'm calming stars to put into perks

[clever trail]

I played drg for like 20 hrs straight one day

[upbeat island]

If I could I'd be on DRG for probably 30 hrs straight

[covert valve]

My sessions got shorter since my friends already kinda dropped off

[upbeat island]

When I was like 9 I played this one game for 48 hours straight
Tbh it was fun but I was sleep deprived

[upbeat island]

If my friends ditch the game I'll just find randoms

[clever trail]

I need some friends that are more in line with my timezone

[upbeat island]

Or go on discord

[covert valve]

Randoms work but are never as fun imo

No matter the game

[upbeat island]

I'm in the UK so nobody's probably up at this time since it's almost 3:30am

[clever trail]

Have u guys ever played absolutely drunk

[upbeat island]

Unless they have mics I've met some cool people in games through just having a mic

[covert valve]

True
I've had bad luck with mics so far
Not a single person with one yet

[upbeat island]

I've never been drunk most I've done was drunk champagne once on new year's lol

[clever trail]

The friends I have been playing with I met as a rando

[upbeat island]

Yeah it's probably gonna be like that sadly

[clever trail]

I mean in game

[covert valve]

Lol

[upbeat island]

I've passed out drunk in game once 🤣

[clever trail]

U see double of everything and me and one of my friends played drunk and if was so fuking funny

[upbeat island]

You also will begin walking on your own and stuff it's funny

[clever trail]

Swarms look alot bigger than they actually are

[upbeat island]

You can be done with them quick if your team is good tbh

I just get the resupply if I'm running out of ammo but I do the resupply before getting into any fight that ik I'm gonna lose too much bullets in

Always think ahead is my strategy

[clever trail]

Sadly we failed that mission when we're drunk, cause of randos

[thorny stratus]

Oh shit my bad

[covert valve]

I'm kinda looking forward to seeing what crazy stuff happens tonight when I get back on
I joined a refinery mission late today and it looked like a some kind of unsafe theme park by the time I got in
There was a driller yet the pipes were overlapping all over the place and stopped your grind multiple times

[thorny stratus]

Anyone wanna link up?

[upbeat island]

Would but I can't play rn it's like 3am for me lol

[thorny stratus]

😭😭😭

[upbeat island]

I'm already half asleep at my desk

[clever trail]

Go to #lfg-playstation

[upbeat island]

Hoping you find someone to play with bro

[thorny stratus]

Thanks!

[novel agate]

I have so much fun with driller on refining missions.

Refining is one of my faves to do. 😆

[upbeat island]

If your online later and I'm online I'll let you know though

[thorny stratus]

Yeah those are really fun

No problem!

[covert valve]

Yeah I like those too as a driller

[novel agate]

Had one session we just made a long ass coaster and had fun the whole time .

[thorny stratus]

LOL you get paid a lot too for those missions

[cold sapphire]

driller completely disregards any form of cave systems

[thorny stratus]

Truth

[fierce cosmos]

Hi

[novel agate]

Just finished a point extract where we couldn't get to extraction via map routes because it was in a zone outside map. Driller came in clutch for me there for sure.

[covert valve]

I think my favorite rn might be the aquarg collecting just because it's so fun to mine the hard to get stuff with the experimental plasma charger

[thorny stratus]

I can imagine @novel agate

[fierce cosmos]

That don’t give much xp though

[upbeat island]

I have to be acting like some anime genius when it comes to refinery (if it's the one where you connect the pipes to the liquid mining machines) literally I be running around marking them and telling my friends exactly what we need to do

[novel agate]

They aren't that hard. Mark them all with pumps...drill a to b.

[covert valve]

I didn't mean for xp, just fun

[clever trail]

Don't forget u can destroy the pipeline with ur pick

[novel agate]

Then have fun surfing underground. 😂

[fierce cosmos]

My personal fav is elimination

[upbeat island]

Yeah but...with my friend group they're impossible 🤣 we mess around too much that it'd take us an hour to do it right

[covert valve]

I can't even imagine doing a refinement mission solo as anything but driller
Sounds like so much extra time spent

[fierce cosmos]

Scout

[covert valve]

I need to dig

[novel agate]

I hate mining expo and elimination missions most.

[fierce cosmos]

Why’s that

I understand the mining one but

[novel agate]

Mining takes forever it seems and I just don't like being bullied by the dreadnought honeslty.

[fierce cosmos]

Lol

[clever trail]

It's so annoying when random start making the pipeline without knowing where all the wells are

[upbeat island]

THANK YOUUU

It annoys me too

[covert valve]

Yup

[fierce cosmos]

I’ve don’t that just to annoy people

[verbal sonnet]

It’s fun as gunner, but tedious mining with the pickaxe if you have to 🤷🏻‍♂️

[thorny stratus]

I normally put the pump jacks down first

[clever trail]

They just overcomplicates it all

[covert valve]

I don't like messy pipes

[thorny stratus]

Then build the pipelines

[verbal sonnet]

Can you destroy places pipes?

[thorny stratus]

Yes

[verbal sonnet]

Just pickaxe them is my guess

[covert valve]

I put a pump down, then dig a straight tunnel back

[thorny stratus]

That’s exactly it

[clever trail]

But I'm too busy going around getting things they don't do

[verbal sonnet]

Yeah that sounds dope @covert valve

[fierce cosmos]

Who wants to know a secret

[clever trail]

Roberts secret?

[fierce cosmos]

Idk

U can get permanent no gravity

[ruby acorn]

https://youtu.be/VnyDUAdXVhg not my stream but my favorite streamer

love that guy

[twin dust]

Me too

Totally worth stopping by

[still fossil]

Cave grabber dudes can burn in heck

[twin dust]

He’s streamed everyday since June 21st 2012

[ruby acorn]

legend

[twin dust]

Can we get him some views?

Imagine streaming every day since June 21st 2012 and only have 40 subscribers

[ruby acorn]

he deserves 1 billion subs

[cold sapphire]

thats sum commitment lmao

[ruby acorn]

go subscribe

[covert valve]

Not be that guy but I think advertising channels is against the rules

[twin dust]

It’s not even our channel

We just feel bad that this guy has went out of his way to stream that much but has little subs

[wispy mist]

anyone wanna chill and play for a bit?

[thorny stratus]

Yeah I’m down

[thick hill]

That offer still open?

[spice rivet]

Hey I’m down to play

I have to do the assignment where I have to unlock haz 5 lol

if anyone wants to play you can add me by my discord name

[thorny stratus]

Hey

You guys on?

[narrow bear]

how do I talk in game chat? it doesn't seem to work for me since I can't hear player audio even though others mics are lit up

[covert valve]

It's always on

[winged kraken]

rock and stone

[narrow bear]

if thats the case then it doesn't work

[elder swallow]

mouse and keyboard

sorry i thought you meant text chat

[narrow bear]

nw

[clever trail]

The mic icon may be on but they may not be talking, probs just white noise from a old or cheap mic

[covert valve]

what is the chance to appear Dreadnought as a random Swarm on mission? In the middle of the mission He came from nowhere and wiped whole my team

[neon gorge]

2% i think

[shell hill]

To all the heroes who think they have the master plan...don't wander off half way through a dreadnought fight agro another one over, call in the only supply pod we can afford for the moment and proceed to empty the entire fucking supply pod..

[dry grove]

I can help you if you still want it tomorrow

[icy sage]

Need MOAR ammo!

[dry grove]

That being said, I’m looking for a group to do the trophy for killing two dreadnoughts within 30 second of each other lol

[shell hill]

Well that ain't gonna happen when half the team is running on near empty

[dry grove]

Yeah I think best way to do it is to bring one to really low health and have a scout kite him around, then start the second one and kill them both together

[shell hill]

I can appreciate trophy hunters and their ocd to plat, but maybe communicate that beforehand so at the very least we can get enough nitra happening to keep everybody fed.

And I don't think it's unreasonable that if we can only call in one supply pod in the moment, then everyone gets a reload.

[dry grove]

I completely agree with you, I think anyone going for the trophy (including myself) need to communicate that way before engaging the fight

And make sure everyone are aware of the plan and also okay with it

[icy sage]

4 engi breach cutter 🙂

[light notch]

Fatboy*

[light notch]

There's another fan community for Russian lads, idk if that one also has ps build rooms. It's in #fan-communities, you can try to check it out

[solar charm]

Thanks !

[light notch]

That's why I didnt know if there were any ps build rooms there lol

You could always ask for those rooms there, but if you want a separate server I'm not gonna set myself in the middle lol

[covert valve]

Why is everything grey I can't join anyone?

[rough shore]

I think one room is enough when it comes to smaller community, just need to specify that it's for ps (your invitation)

also I haven't heard that it's for PC only

[covert valve]

gonna get my friends addicted to DRG

this game is like cocaine to me

[stiff fox]

Means that they have started the mission. Deep Dive doesnt allow you to join midgamw

[gloomy apex]

Hey, I need help with a dreadnought mission

Can someone join me?
It's hazard 3
Im the poison biom

My psn is Der_SchlokyII I'm an scout main

[magic barn]

I came across some player having a pickaxe logo next to their username , how u get that

[light notch]

By buying the supporter dlc

[magic barn]

Ohhh

Thx

[spice rivet]

I have the trophy, it’s very easy to do actually maybe we can try later, the trophy I need is for 4 ppl on a silicate harvester and get 5 kills

I need some help still with haz 4 missions to unlock haz 5, @ me if ya can help a brother out 😩

[covert valve]

If I complete the same variant Deep Dive for the second time in the same week, will I not be rewarded with Matrix Cores? and edd have no time limit?

[thorny perch]

You cannot complete the same deep dive this week and get matrix cores

You do it once and pretty much that’s it

Wait til next week

[covert valve]

Edd same too?

[thorny perch]

Yes you do it once and wait for next one

[covert valve]

if you get a matrix core with dd, then with edd can you also get a second matrix core? Or not I'm confused

[thorny perch]

You get 1 blank matrix core, 1 infused core, and 1 cosmetic core from both the dd and edd

So 3 rewards from both

[candid bridge]

Yes plus 2 weeklies and 1 gives same rewards as a deep dive 3 rewards 1 blank 1 overclock 1 cosmetic

[ember lintel]

And you also get cores from crafting cores through Forge mastery.

[timid spoke]

Rock and stone finna break my bones

[pseudo jasper]

If it hasn't been answered yet I want to say private lobbies.

[covert valve]

What about active perks usable few times between the missions in dd?

[white coral]

A driller's never not useful.

[pseudo jasper]

Those refresh after the next stage so let's say See You in Hell, Medic, and Iron will.
So if you use then in stage 1 once you get to stage 2 they're reset and the same for stage 3

[white coral]

Finally got my first promotion.

[stray depot]

Welldone

[white coral]

...And immediately lost my server connection. The wifi here sucks.

Thought I hit enter on that lol

[thin halo]

New patch just dropped for me

Any patch notes?

[tranquil pawn]

Same

[soft sentinel]

I don't see anything about it on Twitter or Reddit

[tranquil pawn]

Every patch I hope for PT-BR translation 😂

[soft sentinel]

check back in like 45 minutes maybe they'll throw some patch notes by then

[devout timber]

Patch is up

1.05

[hidden peak]

Lul also came here for the notes

[cold sapphire]

i assume its bugfixes

[white coral]

Mother frak...Doing my first mission for my breach the core assignment, and after twenty minutes one person quit and the heathen host aborted the mission.

[cold sapphire]

since no other consoles seem to have gotten an update

[white coral]

Which, there's never a good reason to abort a mission.

[cold sapphire]

maybe he had to dip

[white coral]

Oh, and none of the group were using mics either lol

While that was going on, 1.05 downloaded.

[spice rivet]

Anyone wanna do haz 4 dreadnought, to unlock haz 5

We have 2 so need 2

[tranquil pawn]

@tight beacon any patch notes?

[fervent flume]

What is new in today’s Deep Rock Galactic Patch Notes? – January 17, 2022
Addressed connectivity related issues (lost connection to server issue).
Added improvement to save game integrity in case the game crashes while saving
Addressed a bug where trophies do not unlock correctly.
Added performance and stability fixes.
Other minor fixes.

Found here (not sure how accurate this site is, but it seems reasonable): https://updatecrazy.com/deep-rock-galactic-update-1-05-patch-notes-official-january-17-2022/

[ember lintel]

They won the race, Axel

[worn harness]

The things we focused on this patch (01.05) was the connectivity issues people were experiencing, proper patchnotes is as follows (not sure where that site gets that information from)

Fixed an issue where others could not connect to the session you were hosting, including friend invites
Fixed a bug where changing 'Horizontal Mapping' could lead horizontal motion control not working
Fixed a bug where changing 'Light Mode' could lead to the lights not working
Full servers will now return an "All seats taken" error when trying to join a server that filled up between serverlist updates.

[covert valve]

what are the error cubes for?

[worn harness]

I can also win a foot race by driving a car, that does not mean that I did it correctly

[coarse lava]

XP boost

also some unique commentary

[covert valve]

how do I use them?

[warped dove]

@worn harness can you play industrial sabotage without crashing now?

[coarse lava]

Chuck them in Molly

[covert valve]

ohh

okay

[cold sapphire]

they dont have a real use atm

i heard someone say that they might get a purpose at some point

byt idk

[covert valve]

hopefully lol I mean they are rare to find

[cold sapphire]

all i know for sure is that theyre being tracked at the deep dive terminal

thats where you see how many you have

[covert valve]

same at the clothes store

[cold sapphire]

i once had a 1:100000 e counter

[novel storm]

Any info on not being able to change the 5th mod when using an overclock? And thanks as always

[crimson oasis]

Morning, saw patch notes says should have e fixed issue of not getting some trophies, however still doesn't work for me, has any solution been made?

[cold sapphire]

found a bittergem, gold chunk and two error helixes on the same map

[worn harness]

We focused on the connections, I'll talk to QA and see if the industrial sabotage crash you mention is something they can reproduce.
Any other information like if you are playing PS4 or PS5, if you are using a external drive to store the game, what graphic setting you are on etc. is much appreciated

[covert valve]

I have 2 cubes atm and I had that same encounter lol

[faint lotus]

Why do people just ignore the existence of leech

I died nobody saved me... then all 3 get grabbed 1 by 1

[cold sapphire]

[coarse lava]

If you don't acknowledge its existence then it's not there

[faint lotus]

[cold sapphire]

you can ignore ot

if you know that its there

[worn harness]

we all need a cave leech hug now and then

[faint lotus]

I just saw it slowly grabbing all 3 one at a time

I knew they would ignore that all of us are perfectly stacked

[warped dove]

@worn harness of course, I'm on ps4 fat (the one before slim), game is stored on system storage, game is set on performance, input is mouse and keyboard if it matters and my ps4 doesn't malfunction normally

[worn harness]

alright, I'll pass that along

[plain sphinx]

My money is on dust clogging the cooling system.

[cold sapphire]

waut

does DRG support mnk?

or are you using a xim

[soft sentinel]

It does. It has settings in the.. well.. in the settings for M&K

[cold sapphire]

didnt see that one

[warped dove]

I didn't see a reason for the game crashing other than it always was the industrial sabotage which crashed 3 times out of 3

[cold sapphire]

thats nice to know tho

[warped dove]

yes native mnk

[soft sentinel]

A ton of games have M&k support on PS4

[warped dove]

yeah the new call of duties, splitgate, minecraft and some others that I dont remember

[chilly vortex]

Never had a problem with sabotage crashing

[warped dove]

ps5?

[chilly vortex]

4

[waxen scroll]

Ps4

[warped dove]

okay I hope that doesnt change for you i cant solve the daily mission

[waxen scroll]

What settings do you have everything at?

[ancient crater]

Whats up my playstation brethren

[waxen scroll]

Hello biggs

[ancient crater]

I've been having a lot of connection issues lately lol

[warped dove]

performance and fov on 90

[white coral]

Woo, first mission of my Breach the Core assignment done, and I got an overclock...For my Engineer. A class I have played exactly one time. ...DRG plz.

[plain sphinx]

did you update your game?

[thorny perch]

Which oc?

[crimson oasis]

@worn harness any input on the trophy question

[waxen scroll]

SAME

[warped dove]

you get them rather frequently so no worries

[white coral]

Neuro lasso for the smart rifle.

[plain sphinx]

If it isn't in the patch notes, it isn't fixed.

[thorny perch]

Not a bad first one for Lok

[waxen scroll]

Patiently waiting for a driller one

[thorny perch]

Neuro lasso is really good on og dread

[white coral]

Not a bad one if I played Engie lol

[thorny perch]

You’ll play engi in time

Just play whatever you like right now

[austere anvil]

When promoting Dwarves, do you have to be that specific class for the assignment?

[thorny perch]

No

[austere anvil]

Thanks, I was unclear on that one!

[thorny perch]

Play scout for the engi promo and etc

[coarse lava]

100% recommend swapping so you don't lose out on the exp

[austere anvil]

Good point, thank you!

[ancient crater]

Not if there's been a patch since last night

[white coral]

There has, I updated minutes ago.

[tardy apex]

What’s this new patch do?

Downloading it rn

[worn harness]

Not yet, no.
Any information on the issues is best to send to QA (Mark, Jesper, Bjorn or Amanda in the developer list) or post a bug report on our Jira as some of these issues might get buried in other discussions here.

[white coral]

fixing more connection issues
improved save game integrity in case the game crashes while saving
trophies unlocking correctly
more languages

[ancient crater]

I'll have to update it when I get back home then, or maybe it updated in rest mode

[worn harness]

Pinned message here #playstation message

[tardy apex]

Tbh I’m kinda worried I won’t get the season stuff filled out before the next season

[thorny perch]

You’ll be able to get it next season in some way. There’s no fear of missing out

Do not worry

[crystal plover]

It finally works with joining 😍

[ember lintel]

Yay!

[novel storm]

I have realized my playtime is 80 hours

It has been 2 weeks wtf am I doing

[covert valve]

the first attempt to join server on the new patch update

[ember lintel]

time spent doing something you enjoy is never wasted

[cold sapphire]

i have 160hours xD

[cunning ridge]

I've promoted all 4 dwarves and at PL 55 ... that's what work from home can do to you 😂

[white coral]

I've done two missions of the Breach the Core assignment now.

My next is an Elimination. Gonna hop into it after lunch.

[plain sphinx]

There were several issues. This is one that they may not be able to address. It remains to be seen.

[flint bramble]

PS5 servers working now?

[plain sphinx]

There are no servers. It’s all p2p. You won’t see lobbies if you have a version mismatch.

[cunning ridge]

wish the error messages were easier to understand

[plain sphinx]

They’re there for QA, not the end user.

[flint bramble]

I know that. They call it servers ingame tho so that’s what I use for simplicity. So if both my buddies get the update we should be good to go?

[plain sphinx]

Yes

[flint bramble]

Thanks! Can’t wait to finally join in 🙂

[novel storm]

🇼

[tribal ravine]

will there be cross platform if i may ask?

[novel storm]

Prob not at least for a long time

[light notch]

Very low on their priority list

[tribal ravine]

oh 😦

that fine^^

[hidden peak]

I'm nearing halfway done on the season pass

[covert valve]

🗿

how am i supposed to grind

[summer juniper]

Rip

Sony isn’t rock and stoning

[covert valve]

hate them

[cunning ridge]

depends why you were banned

[gleaming abyss]

What'd you do? You cut off the why 🤣

[summer juniper]

He found a chunk of gold and didn’t ping it

[covert valve]

overreacting

atleast i have Bosco to play with

[gleaming abyss]

Oh, word Nazis... Lol was it at least something fun and maybe worth the suspension? 🧐

[cold sapphire]

its just sony

they made a bot recentlt

now you dont even have report anything

if the bot picks up a no no word youre fuckdd

[covert valve]

some guy stole my ammo from a resupply pod so i messaged him “kys” 👺

free me im innocent

[gleaming abyss]

Oh no! How violent of you 🤭... 🤣

[neon gorge]

he said a no no word

[covert valve]

nah im innocent fr

[gleaming abyss]

By the way, kicking every barrel you can find into the launch bay is fun 🤘

[gleaming abyss]

Yeah, clearly you meant "Kiss" because he was so kind to take you're lovely offering of ammo

Bots just don't understand context.

[opaque bolt]

Hey guys friend just started on ps4, skipped tutorial but can’t invite friends . It’s greyed out.

[covert valve]

when did ps4 become so sensitive 😔

[gleaming abyss]

Eh, it'll bite them in ass. I know TabletopSimulator is being screeched at right now because their mod tools autoblocked words like "Gay", "Trans", and the like. Words that often get used as slurs. Well some lovely young person was severely traumatized because they could not express in global chat that they're gay and trans. Nevermind it's totally fine in local chat within a game... Sony will automod the wrong words and get screeched at.

[icy sage]

Few years ago when woke cancel everyone became sensitive

[covert valve]

HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS GREEN SHIT

ITS SO ANNOYING

[balmy jewel]

Hellow fellas

[neon gorge]

just have your engineer platform it

[covert valve]

im playing solo… did you already forget im banned from PS Network lmao

[neon gorge]

biggest of sads

[covert valve]

😂 for being toxic?

[covert valve]

for doing what was necessary

[plain sphinx]

yeah I don't think telling someone to kill themselves for taking an extra resupply is the kind of attitude this community is known for

[gloomy apex]

Yea, that's not how I see the community

[covert valve]

texture glitch where players fall into the ground at the entrance to the cave after new patch
https://youtu.be/aBiimP-0Smk

[gloomy apex]

The community is really cool and chill, I like that

Well usually

[covert valve]

sometimes

[gloomy apex]

True true

Someone killed me and my friend in front of the drop pod

Without a reason

[balmy jewel]

Anyone need a driller?

[covert valve]

oh hey i found a bittergem

my first time ever finding one

what am i supposed to do with 1,456 of it lmao

[gloomy apex]

It's Gold

[covert valve]

so i get a ton of extra exp and credits at the end of the mission?

[gloomy apex]

Yes

[covert valve]

dope

[white coral]

Dude, the mining expo I did for the first mission of my breach the core assignment, there was a RIDICUOUS amount of gold at one point. Took THREE full loads of drill fuel to dig under it all (it's faster than mining it normally).

[neon gorge]

probably a crassus

[white coral]

A what now?

[novel agate]

I love you so much DRG devs!! I don't know what you did with the ps4/ps5 update today but it fixed my fiance and I's grouping issues. Time to get him his trophy!😝

[white coral]

Nice.

[novel agate]

I'm glad they finally sorted it out. And so quickly...shows how hard they are working.

[cold sapphire]

crassus

its a giant thing

thay explodes when it dies

and that explosion leaves behind a ton of gold

[proper dove]

Cross Progression would be amazing, I've been rock and stoning on PC and just getting started with my playstation dwarves

[covert valve]

There was another update already?
Holy crap

[cold sapphire]

just sum bug fixes

[icy sage]

Best way is engineer platforms other is the less effect of environment slowdown effects

[white coral]

Must've been that, it was on the floor even.

[plain sphinx]

refer to the miners manual

[icy sage]

What are you supposed to do. And I think the tutorial should drop one and then pop up “ four ammo pods for four dwarves “. Dunno why people gobble it up like there aren’t others in group. I like being less I see them go for it and can boot them fast enough before they take it

[cold sapphire]

yea

i always grab one asap

bc i dont trust people

ive even seen someone grab 3

for absolutely no reason whatsoever

[neon gorge]

playstation mood

[plain sphinx]

You could, oh I don't know, communicate with your teammates. The game has text and voice chat. Generally it's a good idea to not be a dick to your teammates.

[cold sapphire]

no text chat on ls

[plain sphinx]

This is an issue I have not had to deal with in years.

[cold sapphire]

ps

[plain sphinx]

there is if you connect a keyboard

[cold sapphire]

well

[covert valve]

Most people aren't doing that

[cold sapphire]

can you really expect console gamers to have one?

[plain sphinx]

do your vocal cords function?

[cold sapphire]

i mean

[covert valve]

There should be a quickchat option
Simple as that

[cold sapphire]

you obviously never played anything on a playstation huh

people dont speak alot

if you speak you'll be ignored 99% of the times

[neon gorge]

that’d be sick

[covert valve]

Hopefully we get it someday
It's been suggested in a reddit thread the devs were active in

[white coral]

That's one thing I've always hated about most of my fellow PS players, the lack of basic communication.

[cold sapphire]

yep

[covert valve]

Yeah I played for a few hours before bed and I only came across one person with a mic active and of course it was the classic "plays music loudly" player

[white coral]

Fun.

[sullen fossil]

Anyone down to play? Ps5 with mic

[neon gorge]

try #lfg-playstation

[sullen fossil]

Oops

[covert valve]

why am i getting like no credits and exp

im playing haz 3

1.8k credits and 4k exp???

thats so little

[neon gorge]

cus haz 3 is easy mode

[covert valve]

i used to get like 13k exp

and 5k credits

is it the new patch or something

[neon gorge]

well it varies per mission

[covert valve]

yeah i know that but it was never this small

[neon gorge]

cud be a bunch of things, 13k is a lot for haz 3

you prob had a modifier to increase, haz bonus and found event or something and it was a long mission

all those things increase ur xp be quite a bit

[covert valve]

or could it be my punishment for having to play offline

🤔

[neon gorge]

solo missions have less xp per minute because the mission takes longer typically, especially as gunner

[quiet cliff]

Hazard, mission length and complexity and modifiers all impact EXP/Money gains

[cold sapphire]

^

[cold sapphire]

dunno man

with a coordinated team thats true

but i can easily do a mission alone faster than in pubs

not even mentioning how bad haz 4/5 pubs are

[covert valve]

they are the worst

greenbeards always coming into harder missions hoping for carries 🗿

[cold sapphire]

you literally cant carry

if theres 4 people

and two of them are the usual teammates i get

its already gg

even bosco kills more bugs than some of these people😂

[white coral]

Meanwhile, my driller: Haha cryo cannon goes burr.

And very quickly shatters standard enemies, while opening bigger threats up to massive damage from the plasma charger.

Only down side is it doesn't freeze dreadnoughts as far as I've seen.

[lapis ruin]

It does, just takes a lot and they thaw real fast

[neon gorge]

i don’t play with ransoms that often anymore

[neon gorge]

carrying on 4 isn’t too hard

[white coral]

I like to go into challenge one games and carry greenbeards.

But I carry them the RIGHT way. I show them the most efficient mining methods, let them do most of the fighting themselves to figure out their dwarves, etc.

I feel GOOD about myself doing it, y'know?

[gleaming abyss]

Sure it wasn't 😏

[thorny perch]

I feel good teaching tricks and fun loadouts to use, but most greenbeards don’t usually like staying in my lobbies really

Tho I always warn most that it is Haz5

[cold sapphire]

that aint carrying

thats just teaching people how to play

carrying is the opposite

[novel storm]

Haz5 is fun but I suck

[neon gorge]

carrying isn’t the opposite, it’s possible to do both

[white coral]

I guess what I mean is I'm there if they NEED someone to carry them lol. Me and my cryo cannon. Or the flamethrower/sludge pump in Eliminations.

Still getting the hang of the sludge pump.

[neon gorge]

flamer and sludge in elims??

[covert valve]

first time finding one solo

pretty cool

[neon gorge]

well sludge maybe but flamer?

[white coral]

Both do more damage than the cryo cannon and elim targets take too long to freeze and don't stay frozen long enough for it to be worth it.

[neon gorge]

flamer and goo barely hurt dreads, goo is mainly support with its slow

freezing with cold radiance and following up with an axe will always do way more damage

[covert valve]

you underestimate how much damage can be dealt in that time they are frozen

[neon gorge]

you can even get 2 axes in if u animation cancel

[white coral]

Hmm, I'll keep that in mind!

[neon gorge]

goo is good support for og and hiveguard but i would def not recommend flamethrower (even with face melter) due to the fact that all dreads resist heat

[viral drift]

Hey guys this game is pretty fun! Hard sometimes but fun idk much yet. But what is the main grind of the game? Do u wanna lv up and unlock stuff or collect stuff to make things or something?

[neon gorge]

just have fun playing the game tbh. You can buy perks, get weapon upgrades as you level, and get new weapons at clas lvl 10, 15, and 20. You can promote at class level 25 which lets you unlock even more content like deep dives and overclocks for youre weapons

[novel storm]

There is not much of a grind actually

[viral drift]

Is there alot to unlock or buy?

[light notch]

the only true grind is the rocknstone inside of us all

[novel storm]

I mean yes you upgrade your equipment and hunt for the overclocks but you come back for the gameplay

[novel storm]

There's a decent amount of cosmetics

[light notch]

real money? just cosmetics DLCs. ingame? beer, weapon upgrades, cosmetics, a fair bit

[hidden peak]

I think the main sell of this game might be the multiplayer interactions with the rando maps you might not see a lot of that playing solo

The main gameplay loop is introduced in like those first 8 or so missions

[covert valve]

goo best driller weapon

[white coral]

Just remember to do your assignment missions to unlock stuff.

[winged kraken]

hello

[quiet cliff]

Depends

There's alot of craft(able) beers to get

Lots of cosmetics to buy from the shop

Lots of cosmetics and pickaxes/skins to earn from cargo/lost equiment

And then a battle pass

And then the paid DLCs

Which are some skins/Color schemes/weapon frameworks

[cold sapphire]

and then theres overclocks

some change the way a weapon works significantly

some just give you minor buffs

but im pretty sure you cant buy anything with real money

even if you wanted to

except for some skin packs

[minor violet]

Are the dualsense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers going to be on the steam version as well? I would really love it for this game

[hidden peak]

Have the devs said anything about text size on the ps4 or ps5 version?

[icy sage]

What about the text size

It’s fine to me

[neon gorge]

ye just the dlc packs, which i think are great to buy for supporting the devs

[hidden peak]

Its pretty tiny on some tvs

[icy sage]

On tiny TVs?

[cold sapphire]

isnt that like a ps5 thing?

[fading fox]

Yeah

There's no PC Controller that does that shit

Mainly because

It inflates cost and why wouldn't you just buy an Xbox controller lol

[minor violet]

Yea. But steam gives the ability for devs to add it as well

[cold sapphire]

the cost is the same

always been the same price for a new controller

[fading fox]

Have you tried setting up a Playstation controller to a pc?

Shits painful

[cold sapphire]

nah its fine

you just need sum shady lookin software

[fading fox]

Yeah, instead of just

Plugging it in

[minor violet]

Yea. It's as easy as a xbox controller especially on Steam

[cold sapphire]

its more convenient to use an xbox tho

or use the steam controller

xD

[minor violet]

Or you can use a dual sense. All you have to do is plug it in and steam well recognize it.. it also has support for the Adaptive triggers and haptic feedback but only 5 or 6 games on steam support it so far.

[cold sapphire]

thats bc the haptic feedback stuff is used mainly in ps5 exclusives

im pretty sure the exclusives literally have to use it lol

[minor violet]

Ok... but I'm saying they should add support for it on steam as well. Sense they now have it already on playstation.

[cold sapphire]

the thing js

its kinda a selling poing for sony

so obvs they wont just give the stuff to anyone for no reason

[haughty mortar]

I've heard that analog stick drift is common in the ps5 joystick

[full marten]

i stopped buying and using ps brand controlers for my ps. i buy off brand they last longer.

[coarse lava]

100% this, I only use a PS5 controller when I'm forced to, love the additional features, but im on my third controller with drift

Playing the PS4 version on PS5 solely to not use the controller

[full marten]

i went through 9 ps brand controlers in one year. the last year i ever bought one, some didnt last a week others didnt last 3 weeks.

and they all had a different kind of drift. or problem.

[novel storm]

Mine was broken then got magically fixed. Weird

[full marten]

that is called the silence before the storm effect

[covert valve]

Proud to have gotten this with not that many tries

[full marten]

grats

[covert valve]

Thank you! :D

[icy sage]

Ps5 controller has zero issues at all. Perfect controller except needs more battery when every feature is running it runs out fast. But atleast it’s not running on double AA batteries lolololol Xbox

[icy sage]

I had replace ps4 controllers every like 6-8 months. Such trash. My ps5 controllers running fine over a year in

[haughty mortar]

Maybe ur lucky, lots of people are complaining

[worn gull]

I play the PS4 ver on ps5 so I can use my PS4 back button

Hate l3 to run but it's everywhere

[icy sage]

People complain about the os5 controllers and people complain about not being able to get a ps5. So which is it? We live in a world of complaints

[icy sage]

That back button attachment was amazing product. And good price. Sucks they brought it and “end” of 4 generation

Wish they bring it out for ps5 controller dunno why they haven’t

[worn gull]

I use an aftermarket bb on my ds5

But it's not as good as I prefer playing PS4 ver

[minor violet]

I dont wanna complain. I just want them to add haptic feedback and adaptive chiggers to pc. I dont really see a reason why they wouldn't. It sticks only like 6 games support it on steam.

[icy sage]

All the “pro and elite” PlayStation controllers have been such dog shit and stupid overpriced. I’ve tried quite a few and returned. Just trash for the price. The Astro c whatever was the worst of them all

[icy sage]

Bc it’s a PlayStation thing not pc

[minor violet]

No.. it's a dualsense thing

[haughty mica]

Can i share dlc in deep rock galactic on ps4 with a friend?

[icy sage]

I always see people say MnK or don’t use controller for pc. Seems controller is such low % that it isn’t worth the time to develop for it I used play drg with controller it felt clunky vs ps5 controller drg

[drifting sail]

DLC is only cosmetic, so no.

[haughty mica]

@drifting sail weird

[drifting sail]

DLC is you buying cosmetics and supporting devs, it would be weird if they let you share that. 😂

[icy sage]

Why would you be able to share bbucks etc between tons of consoles. Makes 0 sense

[haughty mica]

Other games like dbd and dark souls do

[cold sapphire]

heres the funny thing

it works on a lot of other games xD

[latent oracle]

hey, does anyone know if you can turn down or simply turn off the aim assist?

[minor violet]

Yeah but that percentage is growing rapidly there are far more people on PC that use controllers today than ever before. Also like I said steam already implemented the ability to add it. It should take the dev team no more than a day to implement it to PC.

[worn gull]

If you're doing the primary account share thing then yes it does

[icy sage]

Controllers and drg been out for years. And haptic on ds5 for over year if they wanted it on their steam they would had it. There’s probably two people in total that want. I got haptic turned off. It’s pretty shit and novelty. And if you play for longer than hour your hand and fingers will get workout it’s kinda in the early stages and very annoying more than ooh this improves my gaming

[coarse lava]

Sorry what? Joystick drift on the PS5 controllers has been an extremely well-documented fault ranging from not only numerous third-parties offering support on how to fix it, but a dedicated dualsense page on sony support and the starting of a class-action lawsuit by some random LLP in America

That's akin to denying the existence of the controllers themselves

[icy sage]

3 controllers. 3 no drift. Maybe y’all should stop dropping your controller and mashing buttons in fortnite

[covert valve]

"Just because I don't have this problem means it doesn't exist"

[icy sage]

Lol class action suit that goes nowhere just like Nintendo joycon

[icy sage]

They don’t exist bc “ps5 so HaRd to GeT!”

[coarse lava]

Amazing logic

[winged kraken]

hey this is the third mission with eye walls is anybody else expirencing more eyes than normal?

[coarse lava]

Wait until you get the maggots

[winged kraken]

is it a update teez?

[coarse lava]

It's just a biome feature, you're likely playing the same biome a few times in a row?

[winged kraken]

nah

[coarse lava]

ahh fair, usually only in Crystal or Rad zones, would be awesome if it lead to something more

[thorny perch]

The eyes are just an uncommon spawn on terrain.

It happens with a lot of things

Error helix’s, error henges, even rare white mushroom

[opaque bolt]

For the love of all bearded , start events after mission objective on escort missions..especially with low ammo and low oxygen modifier. It’s common sense

[covert valve]

Im still unsure why i get framedrops sometimes on ps5

People run the game at 120 fps so why am i dropping below 60

[narrow bear]

I get frame drops too

well i play on ps4 but still

[covert valve]

Ps4 its not surprising considering the hardware is old

But on ps5 its odd might be just me

[narrow bear]

makes sense but i can run alot of fairly new games without frame drops so idk

[covert valve]

Yeah i might submit it as a bug report idk ive been having them for some reason

[narrow bear]

hope it gets fixed

[opaque bolt]

Game has frame drops everywhere no matter the platform. Ps5 at 120 is pretty smooth

[mystic reef]

PSA if you’re playing Engineer and have a scout on your team, put platforms under minerals up high please

[humble dew]

Hello anyone wants to play

[distant jackal]

@humble dew I'm down

[neon gorge]

try #lfg-playstation

[icy sage]

Psa if you’re a scout and engi on your team and they put platforms under minerals n stuff grapple your butt up there

[covert valve]

Anyone have an engineer build they could share? I’m loving this character

[icy sage]

Build how you like with your playstyle and your weapon. I use the smart rifle and breach cutter and plasma grenade with as much platform ammo as possible

[neon gorge]

i mean depends on a lot of things: What ocs you have, what weapons u enjoy, etc

[low citrus]

will they ever add cross-ply for ps4-5 to pc and xbox

[neon gorge]

not anytime soon

[full marten]

whats a good t5 gunner rocket mod. was using heat but wondering if stun or nitro would be better.

[bleak grove]

Ok so I have been playing this game over the weekend when I can. My sciatic nerve is troubling at times so I play when it’s not hurting me too much. I can truly say this game is fun. I was shocked at how good this game was. Simple gameplay loop that has solid mechanics. I also like how the guns feel with the haptic trigger like when I am reloading the trigger is hard on the pull

[icy sage]

Will they ever add disable cross gen play so I don’t got to group with ps4 players. The real questions

[low citrus]

what's wrong with ps4 players

[neon gorge]

stun is very good

heat takes away from ur damage and converts it to heat

[icy sage]

Slow load times

[jolly arrow]

Hopefully some day host doesn't gotta always have crazy frame drops

Also anyone else experiencing more crashing after the hotfix?

[low citrus]

what an extra 15 seconds of wait i can live with that

[icy sage]

Longer and every map non stop load in and load out. Huge waste of time

[jolly arrow]

Then find ps5 friends or play solo lol

Easy fix

[low citrus]

it is what it is

haven't even realised i wait longer with randoms

[jolly arrow]

Compared to alot of other games drg loads pretty quickly

Not to mention its always usually connection related

[mystic reef]

The worst slowdowns for me is when everyone joins at the same time

[novel agate]

[covert valve]

If anyone here hosts a lobby and reads this, please be more forgiving than having your trigger finger on the kick button for kicking someone who spent their time helping you, only because you're a moron who wants to kick someone on their first mistake. This kick feature trolling is starting to get annoying.

Yeah I noticed people are pretty toxic with kicks already
I did absolutely nothing wrong but some dumb gunner player was trying to teamkill me and then the host who I assume was his friend kicked me

Wasn't even doing my job poorly or anything like that
Just weirdos out there

[ornate vine]

damn

just got it a few hrs ago and havent seen anyone trying to teamkill me
