But yeah, it's not as fun in the moment as grabbing somethign from the terminal

magic sluice
#

yea

mossy hatch
#

It's a slow system, but it incentivizes attempting the Elite Deep Dives. I think it's a decent system in that regard. Once you get all the stuff you're going for, the Deep Dives and even the Weekly Core Assignment lose their immediate appeal. The Weekly Core Assignment is good to give your regular play an easy choice of missions (for 3 missions), but the Deep Dives are only there for the challenge, then

magic sluice
#

i mean they're adding more weapons so its gonna be more overclocks aswell

mossy hatch
#

Yeah, it's a bit of a different experience on PlayStation, since the other versions have had a long time to collect the cores. I've had everything for a good long while now, but a friend only just got his final Cosmetic Core. Still, we have friends who are still earning everything because they came to the game way later, and so they're kind of experiencing it the way most PlayStation folks are able to

#

It can feel a bit overwhelming, I'm sure

#

It was slow for all of us though, just a bit faster to get Overclocks for the new weapons

magic sluice
#

at least i had good luck with the lost loot so far, i got two parts of the bug hide thing and its the 2 i wanted most

mossy hatch
#

It's plenty to keep you busy for sure. But it also kind of encourages you to play a little each week, but not go so hard on it you burn out. For a long time, we'd just hop on and do the Deep Dives and the Weekly Assignments and once those were done we'd spend some time with another game or two. It's kept our interest long-term by not playing too much in a short period of time. It might not works so well for everyone's play style and free time, though

I never got into the groove with the dual smgs for the scout. I've seen them used well, with the freeze mines I take it?

mossy hatch
#

The shotgun just erases anything in front of me so thoroughly I haven't been able to put it down, haha

quaint zinc
#

I use the twin smgs if I run out of cry grenades

#

Then follow up with the GK2 and it’s overclock to down the bugs

mossy hatch
#

A friend runs them, and it looks quite good. The rapidity with which he's removed a Spitball Infector with them is inspiring

#

They freeze most things very quickly, it seems

quaint zinc
#

Yeah, it is pretty quick at freezing things

mossy hatch
#

The only cryo item I've used frequently are the cryo-grenades, and those are lovely

#

the game really wants me to play gunner doesnt it

velvet magnet
#

Good gunnergrin

knotty marten
#

What makes you say that?

magic sluice
#

why else would it give me only matrix cores for the gunner

knotty marten
#

Huh. Didn’t notice that myself

magic sluice
#

i have 3 overclocks for each of his weapons, like 5 beards and now a victory move

knotty marten
#

Gunner is awesome but give me Driller all day

magic sluice
#

meanwhile i have only 1 or 2 total overclocks for each other class and maybe 1 beard

#

im not really a fan of gunner, i dont like his tools

#

the zipline is kinda lame and the shield is meh, more annoying than useful to me

velvet magnet
magic sluice
#

let me check

knotty marten
#

Shield is awesome

#

I’m reporting you

#

Lol

velvet magnet
#

The shield is actually outstanding for covering up dotty
Helping teammates against dreads swarms and so on

magic sluice
#

burning hell
lead storm
yes

knotty marten
#

I thought zipline was lame too at first but once I learned you can hold grab button and still get attached it

velvet magnet
#

Well burning hell turns your minigun into a flamethrower to anything close in front of you

knotty marten
#

It became my bitch

velvet magnet
#

And lead storm is just heavy but you stand still when shooting

#

Unless you're on a zip
Then you're a mobile sentrygun

knotty marten
#

My goodness. All classes are amazing

velvet magnet
#

Yeah each is critical for a team and you can always feel the lack if you dont have one

knotty marten
#

I just love customization and how unique each feel. Its like the devs gave me different ways to enjoy my favorite fruit

#

Like engineer. His shotgun is nice but Lok really makes it feel like I’m planning different class

#

And the amount of ways you can combine your primary & secondary

#

This is prime example of quality over quantity in terms of class design

untold dove
#

Anyone in EST/AST time wanna run either of the Deep Dives sometime today w/ me?

warm cave
#

Anyone want to play some games

magic sluice
#

on that point, im assuming ones you have all overclocks you get blank cores instead as rewards for the deep dives and weekly missions, or how does that work?

mossy hatch
neon gorge
#

And blanks which can be turned into mineral cores

magic sluice
#

ahh

mossy hatch
#

It'll probably be a while longer before you have received all of the Cosmetic Cores, but once that happens you begin to receive a Mineral Container in place of the usual Cosmetic Core. A Mineral Container can be forged to receive 120 of a random Mineral (It'll tell youwhich Mineral)

magic sluice
#

ok dumb question, but it doesnt cost anything to forge a mineral core right?

mossy hatch
#

It costs 600 credits

magic sluice
#

ah ok, yea thats nothing

mossy hatch
#

But only the credits

magic sluice
#

yea it'd be kind dumb if you had to pay minerals for minerals

mossy hatch
#

It would, yeah

neon gorge
#

you can sell them for a profit

mossy hatch
#

And the minerals inside are worth 6000 credits

magic sluice
#

so ones you get all overclocks you get blanks instead which can be turns into mineral cores at core infusers im guessing?
and ones you get all cosmetics aswell you only get minerals cores right away?

mossy hatch
#

You only get the mineral cores once you have all the Cosmetic Cores

#

At the Core Infusers, you'll get a choice of all Cosmetic Cores once you have all the Overclocks

neon gorge
magic sluice
#

so if you have everything, for the weekly core hunts and deep dives you get
6 blanks and 3 minerals?

#

or just 9 minerals?

mossy hatch
#

6 blanks and 3 minerals, yep

magic sluice
#

and those 6 blanks can also be turned into minerals ye?

neon gorge
#

ye

mossy hatch
#

Yep

magic sluice
#

ah

mossy hatch
#

You got it

neon gorge
#

that’s all you can do with them until new weapons come out at that point

#

or new ocs

magic sluice
#

and if you only have all overclocks you get
6 blanks and 3 cosmetics

mossy hatch
#

Yep, that's right

magic sluice
#

well if i do ever get to that point, which will be in months if not years, ill probably just save until i get like 100 blanks so i can hammer out all new overclocks or cosmetics if they come out

#

i do kind of wish there was a higher chance to get cores for whichever class and weapons you're playing in the mission, because im now almost on my second promotion for scout and my 4th for driller and i have only gotten 3 useful cores for both of those classes combined

mossy hatch
#

Forge Mastery still gives Cores, even for forging Mineral Containers, so you can save them and forge them all when new Overclocks come out and get some Overclocks from Forge Mastery

magic sluice
#

thats actually smart af, i would not have thought of that

#

id have just forged them right away to hord up minerals

Hi

magic sluice
#

ok i have another question, how do you find enor pearls?
i have never found one and only ever seen teammates bring them, od they just lay around?

modern stirrup
#

Does anyone wanna play with me my friends don't wanna download the game even tho they forced me to buy it so anyone mind playing with me I just completed the toturial I'm bad at the game

magic sluice
#

what kind of assholes are your friends wtf

modern stirrup
#

The kind that will force me to buy a game and won't play with me in the end

magic sluice
#

yea i know those kinda friends, the ones i had ghosted me not too long ago out of the blue

#

but who needs friends when you got rock and stone!

modern stirrup
#

Probably gonna just have to start fresh and get new friends I already bought
Terraria
Duck game
Cold war
Modern warfare
Mortal kombat
And many more and after I got it they suddenly started playing a game I didn't have or couldn't get

#

Thanks

magic sluice
#

i gotta break it to you buddy, you're probably the third wheel on their wagon, i speak from experiance

modern stirrup
#

Yea you correct

#

The sad truth

magic sluice
#

there's a simple test to find out if your friends care about you, dont message them for a while and see if they message you to ask if you wanna play or just to check in on you

#

if they do, they care, if they dont, they dont

#

if you're always the one to ask to play or to check in on them but never the other way around, its a one sided friendship

modern stirrup
#

Nah doesn't work they just forget I even exist did that last year for a full year and it no one texted it said anything

#

So imma just make new friends

magic sluice
#

then they dont care about you, sadly

#

if you care about someone and like to play with them, you dont just forget they exist

#

also sorry if im rambling a bit, id offer to play with you but like i said i just got ghosted by long time friends recently and im not ready to make new friends to regularly play with yet

modern stirrup
#

Exactly but imma just make new friends around the same interest thing us I'm abit to scarred to trust ppl

#

Same

#

No prob thanks for the advice

magic sluice
#

you're welcome, it took me too long to realise i was the "disliked" or "pitied" friend, if i can help others realise sooner so they can find proper friends im happy

modern stirrup
#

Thanks allot

magic sluice
#

but do try out drg, its a really fun game

The only problem is if my connection will let me, sometimes I can play with others and sometimes I can't

Hello all. I am new to the DRG discord, and I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so please let me know if I'm in the wrong place. I joined because I'm having issues with my game. I'm on PS5. I get constant crashing every time I play, usually within 1 hour of playtime. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any advice?

worldly pagoda
#

Well, I'm ps4 so idk how much is applies but I've had a couple crashes here and there usual after alot of bugs spawn, usually on screen instead of behind a wall or behind me, or a lot of effects going off at once like alot of explosives

In QA & FEEDBACK

Odd observation after playing for three months. I have met incredible Gunners who played with the enemy AI like a master artisan. Drillers who inspired me with perfect technique and pathing, and Scouts so skilled they couldn't die no matter how large the Haz 5 swarm.

#

I have never played with an engineer that was better than okay

#

i love playing scout and i can say we are very hard to kill i don’t like to play anyone else’s bc i have to put the grappling hook 😅

magic sluice
#

yea engis are kind of brain dead, se their turrets up in the worst places and stand afk 50 years instead of putting a platform to a hard to each vain of nitra.
i have seen some good engis tho but its a bit rare

^^ my friend played engineer and he was great imo scout engineer combo is so great

magic sluice
#

yea if you have a good engi on your team its a huge help, but they are a bit rare to find

very true he stopped playing drg so i don’t have a my duo plus i switched to pc but i played more on playstation and his playstation broke and he has a poo poo pc notnice

magic sluice
#

playing scout to me feels like a bit of a guilty pleasure, because its incredibly fun but it isnt as "social" as the other classes, you kind of run ahead on your own instead of making a path the others can use aswell

outer kayak

yeah it makes me feel like i’m a lone wolf tbh but i love the mobility

I was last man standing and killed an Oppressor at full health with a Detonator

I played engineer first then got each of my dwarves promoted once. Honestly I like playing engineer but man this slander hurts.

I usually play him when I'm in a group since not alot choose to play engi

im not saying every engi is braindead

#

but the ones i come across usually are

fluid timber
#

I often see a lotta of Scouts who either never use their flare gun, or dive straight into a swarm only to go down and spam the help button

magic sluice
#

thats why i use the M1000 as scout, i keep away from the swarms and take them out from away

#

i only dive in to revive others

fluid timber
#

What kind of build do you use for the M1000 cause that gun is a bit annoying to use

magic sluice
#

freeze grenades and the akimbo smgs as secondary

#

if enemies get close i pull out the smg, if its swarmers i use the freeze

#

i also use the freeze to revive teammates and take out things like breeders

#

i dont have any overclocks for the M1000 yet so i use it without them and for the smgs i got the overclock that increases mag size and slightly lovers firerate

The engineer slander hurts...but also the only person I've ever had to kick was playing one

Played some more, back to muse about Engineers.
There are people of every class that forget their support tools. Flare Guns (praise the Dark), C4, Shields, and Turrets. But it's very rare for people to forget ziplines, drills, or grappling hook. Not so true with platforms.

And the game gives no training whatsoever on how you can use platforms to control swarm flow; repellent additive or not. So it makes sense that they don't know how.

Scout slow grenades are amazing. Damage increase to anything in the field + slow. Also can boost the damage of several other weapons because it's an electric field.

mossy hatch
# fluid timber What is the level cap anyways

There is likely no practical limit for blue player level (i.e. it's high enough that no one will reach it via legitimate means), but the theoretical limit would be based on whatever data type stores the value of the level. For example, if the blue player level was stored as a (signed) 32-bit integer value, the highest player level would be 2,147,483,647. It'd take over 250 million dwarf promotions to get there legitimately in this hypothetical scenario. I'm not sure how the player level value is stored, but presumably it's something not too dissimilar

crystal wraith
#

has any gunner main a weapon/overclock combo that really wows him? Personally I feel like the engineers rail gun is way better at dealing with large threats than anything the gunner has to offer for me yet, same with how when I play driller with cryo gun I feel unstoppable against any enemy and I can follow up with meele, drill, axe, or just the pistol while haveing loads of utility with both classes, the gunner I feel like no matter which weapon I always just sort of end up holding down the trigger and waiting for things to happen lol like just a normal threat level 4 praetorian takes so long to die but maybe I am just missing something

i dont even use an oc becuase the only one i have for it makes its semi auto and is kinda bad

but its a red overclock to so

crystal wraith

Hm maybe I ll give it another try then cause when I toyed around with the base traits I found exactly the problem that I have now where opressors and praetorians eat an entire magazine and it feels like I am not doing much

#

Also the grenades I am not a fan of I am useing cluster bombs for now but they are also kinda bad against opressors and praetorians imo

limber anchor
#

With my build I'd kill preas in second with a high speed 5 shot burst

#

It would take like burst to kill

#

The grenades are more aoe large group damage than tank killers in general so that isn't going to get better

#

The starting grenade is probable a little better at using target damage than the others though

crystal wraith
#

Well if I would find a loadout that works really well for big targets Id use them for swarms more often

#

They are definitely the most enjoyable haha

# crystal wraith has any gunner main a weapon/overclock combo that really wows him? Personally I ...

well the gunner is all about sustainable DPS so you are feeling that, and gunner really starts to shine at the higher hazards where his potential really gets to show. but as others have said Elephant rounds Bulldog and Lead Spray BRT are quite common big bug choices. i would add Volatile Bullets Bulldog to that list but it does take a bit more time to setup the kill with that. I also find that the Minigun is perfectly suitable for taking out those big bugs personally

raven token
crystal wraith
raven token
# crystal wraith thank you so much! I have MINIGUN: Lead Storm, AUTOCANNON: carpet bomber, big be...

alright you got some of the ones which i use also. if you want to be more effective against big bugs with your primary gun the Lead storm for minigun and Big Bertha are solid choices. with Lead Storm you have to be bunny hopping tho (shooting mid air between jumps) or hanging on your zip line to have some sort of mobility/avoidance against the bugs

but some specific builds i'd use with those OCs are

  • Carpet Bomber Autocannon 31221 + Elephant Rounds Bulldog 21321 (autocannon for dealing with swarms, bulldog for dealing with big bugs. Born Ready is a nice perk for this build)
  • Lead Storm Minigun 31112 + Composite Casings BRT7 11231 (kinda of an all-around bullet spamming build, Minigun for taking out big bugs mainly but can also be used on swarms and BRT to give you a more mobile option in tight situations and some CC with the stun, great against Macteras)
#

generally when making builds its good to build one of your weapons to deal with big bugs and the other to be able to deal with swarms (large amounts of ''regular'' bugs). Karl.gg is also a great website for finding builds and doing your own since you get much more detailed stats there

#

oh and also sticky grenades are very useful to get praetorians to show their butts to you, it has guaranteed fear when it sticks to a bug. the fear part of the nade is often overlooked

#

sadly i havent played around with Big Bertha to have a build for it, but on Karl.gg you can surely find one. i know many love Big Bertha very much

crystal wraith
#

thank you so much for your write up ! 🙂

#

I thought auto cannon with elephant rifles is pretty good for big boys cause the fear makes them turn around so you can elephant round the booty at least in theory

raven token
#

my pleasure! rocknstone yes that would certainly work, altho i dont pick Fear for the autocannon with carpet bomber since i want the bugs to bunch up instead of scattering around so that i can mow them down more easily with my AOE nice but its personal preference really

crystal wraith
#

nah you are right taht does actually antisynergise

raven token
#

an easy way to get to the butt of praetorians is to bait them to do their ranged attack by getting close to them, but not too close so they can melee you

#

they will go for the ranged attack quickly and then you can just walk around them ^^

crystal wraith
#

yea I am just so spoiled from cryo on the driller and engis rail gun haha especially cause I play a lot of solo so getting to bugs' butts feels like a hastle to me outside of engi and driller

Apologies to the three (if you happen to peruse this discord) that joined my escort mission late and then got dc'd shortly after, apparently 'LAN cable not connected' even for just a moment will do that, smh. Has anyone else had this issue on PS5? never had a problem with being wired on pretty much anything I've ever played on, but for some reason my PS5 does this a couple of times a month... not sure if it's the cable, the PS5's ethernet port, or what. I will say that the PS5 ethernet port is snug for some reason, but I might try buying a new cable to see if that improves the issue 🤔

How many creds?

Oh noice

#

Just loaded into DRG to continue the grind and noticed I had a assignment going. Aparently something didn't save right and I lost progress.

#

the only thing I think is missing is the assignment gun. It locked the auto cannon for the gunner. Tbh that gun seemed worse than the lead storm so.. That's a bug, but I'm not too bothered by it right now

eager herald

#

I used to think the autocannon was worse, just because its got a totally different use than the minigun. Now I love using autocannon for Haz4 and 5. Man the fear+toxin oc is satisfying

eager herald
#

Nt payload is perfect for edd swarms

soft sentinel
#

Ehh.. it didnt seem to do as much as the lead storm, it does one-shot medium glyphids, but overall against pratorians it seemed less good. Also ammo is lower

eager herald
#

I have 660 and it does damage over time

mortal light
#

Minigun is definitely more single target damage, wheras auto cannon is for taking out swarms of smaller bugs

eager herald
#

Splash damage is the biggie

soft sentinel
#

Lower ammo cuz of a mod

#

I'll give it anoher chance later.

#

I'm pushing to tier 99 and I'm only tier 82

mortal light
#

When you're going for splash damage, the first tier mod can usually be put towards ammo rather than the direct damage. Im using my secondary + grenades to take out praetorians. Just a different style of play is all

#

I still always play with minigun when playing with friends on lower hazards, because, lets be honest, that minigun shredding through bugs is one of the most satisfying things in this game

eager herald
#

And it spins

soft sentinel
mortal light
#

Another reason it might've felt underpowered is that the overclocks are pretty much what make splash damage builds viable. The toxic payload one works as well, but theres two other overclocks that boost splash. Forgot to mention

eager herald
#

I use nt with the ac and 6 shot bulldog for haz 4/5 and edd but hurricane’s fun for haz 3

soft sentinel
#

The OC I had cut ammo but did something else good sounding.

eager herald
#

You can guide the missiles with motion controls

mortal light
#

Sometimes 3 shot elephant round bulldog is fun too 😂 That 150+ damage per shot feels great in Haz 3/4

eager herald
#

Oh yeah esp for spitballers and breeders

I need to level up my gunner fml

I mean you do those xp levels and it should be relatively quick

Driller is taking me a long ass time

I'm not doing anything if you need help

Honestly because I switch between the characters alot I can not get them to 2 stars

Only engineer is 2 stars and the rest is 1

I got my scout to his second promotion before I even played any of the others lol

I’m at silver 2 driller, silver 3 gunner and scout and gold engi

And sure I'll take some help :o

#

But it is so bad when you get the failed to join session message 10 times in a row

eager herald

Want to get driller to 3 so I can get gunner and scout to gold and not have to play a ton of driller to get the trophy

Was playing a rythem game but I'll hop on rn

Honestly for the longest time I thought I hated gunners starting weapons but playing it a few times now they're actually not horrible

Oop sorry

Hate when people message me while I'm playing a rythm game

I think the minigun and thunderhead is pretty wild

Like the clean overclocks on the overclock make it so nice

dawn crane
#

I want the thunder head cause I already have big bertha

#

I also have elephant rounds :o

fleet leaf
#

Usually you dont really need all damage on the gunners weapons. I get like 1 ammo upgrade for each since I like to have alot of ammo

dawn crane

True

Anyways I'm getting on. My psn is valevega96

I don't have too long rn but I'll definitely be on late tonight

If its later I can get a friend of mine

We dont really do alot on this game besides our deep dives

Stupid question but is my rank not going up because I'm playing as scout and he's level 25? I've been stuck at 39 with one notch for like 5 mission

eager herald
soft sentinel
#

Yea, but does that affect my blue level from progressing??

eager herald
#

Blue level is 3 red levels

soft sentinel
#

....Ohhhhh

eager herald
#

Cause scout can’t get more red lvls after 25 you needa promo

soft sentinel
#

They should really write that in the game somewhere haha

eager herald
#

You can also use different classes for your promotion assignment if you wanna keep increasing the blue level

soft sentinel
#

I was grinding to get to 40 so I could do the assignment for the gear and mask combo, then it stopped going up. It's all good I got one mission left on my promotion for Scout.

#

Much appreciated though.

eager herald

#

what is the chance that they are gonna add perks with the next big update btw?

#

or balance them around a bit

solar sorrel
crystal wraith
#

just got all these extra perk points and its fun for me to set up different loadouts for different situations 🤠 also there are some traits that I would love to use more often if they were a little bit "better"

solar sorrel
#

The extra points are there because the devs wanted the perks to be easy to unlock, so they added a ton of extra points to avoid forcing grind.
So those are intentional

crystal wraith
#

so I am definetly looking foreward if anything in that department happens but if its not then its also not a big deal was just curious how often the perks are maybe a side dish to bigger updates

crystal wraith
solar sorrel
#

They did a main update that was focused on balancing the perks, but they have not said anything about touching the perks again.

crystal wraith
#

thanks for that info for sure, hopefully they ll look at it at some point or another though! One of the biggest drawbacks for me personally for these long term live service games is that so many features get added that older ones seem to appear as if they were forgotten about and dont fit anymore

#

the new weapons look way more exciting for now though rocknstone

#

Low Oxygen or Mactera Swarm?

#

For most dangerous modifier

mossy hatch
#

Low oxygen adds the same amount of difficulty regardless of the Hazard Level; you are often your own worst enemy. Low Oxygen is the enemy you know. It's highly manageable on any Hazard Level with an adjustment to play style and a coordinated team.

Mactera Plague scales with Hazard Level, meaning on Haz 5 it can get out of hand quickly. Mactera Plague is the tri-jaw behind you that you don't see while fighting all the ones in front of you that you do see...

#

Personally, I find Shield Disruption more difficult than Low Oxygen. Shields do a lot of work in mitigating actual damage taken. Every little jump that's just a bit too high now suddenly takes some HP off of you and Swarmers can shred you quickly instead of mostly being a nuisance

eager herald
#

Shield disruption is terrible and I always forget to put on vampire/sweet tooth/resupplier

crystal wraith
#

I like shield disruption more although I do think it is harder but oxygen and haunted feel annoying and like a chore rather than a modifier

mossy hatch
#

Haunted Cave is only annoying if you're trying to stay in one tiny area for a while (like trying to complete a Machine Event, etc.). So many mission types allow you to keep moving, and Haunted Cave barely even matters if you just keep moving. Low Oxygen, on the other hand, tends to force you to slow down a bit. Also not a huge problem, but interesting that they both feel annoying to you. You want to play at your own pace -- which is totally understandable -- and these two modifiers tend to dictate what your pace can be. Shield Disruption doesn't really dictate a mission's pace, rather it at most dictates the pace of combat in the moment

drifting sail
#

Haunted drilldozer is miserable.

Yesterday I had the shortest mission in history. Joined late, stepped out of the personal pod, "Drop Pod Departing!" and up they went without me.

That happens when I host

#

I don't mind those people but I usually don't like being the one late joining and getting 12K xp in less than a minute

mellow raft

Eh, I took it as karmic payback for the previous mission where the host ran away after I went down and then just kicked me instead of reviving

Yikes

#

People are weird but I played a GTA mission yesterday and remembered how good randoms in DRG are compared to most games

mellow raft
#

People def are weird sometimes, but yeah I've only met one or two actual buttholes on DRG

#

And I'm not counting people who toss explosives in the drop pod, because that's just good fun

eager herald
#

I’ve met dozens but the vast majority are chill

novel storm
#

Randoms actually make the missions easier, specially for secondary objectives and minerals

#

When the team works well together it's really satisfying

eager herald
#

Yeah getting a scout for fossils comes in clutch

novel storm
#

Very

#

I might have actually broke my legs a few times getting them lmao

eager herald
#

Yeah same and as scout I just eat the damage if I don’t have hb on yet cuz I know no one wants to get that fossil on the ceiling

mellow raft

Sometimes I feel like I need to join out of mercy due to things like that! Oh, you're doing a refining mission without a driller, a Point Extraction without a scout, etc

I just updated the system software and now I can’t play online wtf

#

It doesn’t state the reason, just grayed out

im updating rn, ill see if it works for me

but it could have many reasons, maybe you didnt sign back into psn, maybe your ps+ has run out

yea it does that sometimes after updates

#

ok doesnt work for me either

#

"no network connection available"

I’m signed in and it’s still greyed out 😦

it seems to be an issue on playstations end

i cant play gta online either

good it wasnt our' fault

magic sluice

their server status page doesnt show anything, but if i check on other websites that show if services like psn have issues its got a huge spike in the last half hour

#

yea something is wrong on psn's end

#

playstations status page is just bad, i cant even report the issue

#

the only thing i can report to them is online play being "bad"

not that its just not working at all

lets see how long it takes them to fix it

nope its psn

I can go on drg but i cannot select missions or host/join anything is this the psn problem?

At least that works

Well that's just fun

is there a way to turn off mollys auto moving? if i park her somewhere i want her to stay where she is and not follow me

mossy hatch
#

Nope! Molly is actually the subtlest of enemies

magic sluice
#

the reason i asked this was because she just pushed me off the edge of a cliff to my death

mossy hatch
#

Yep! The subtlest of enemies

magic sluice
#

yea

mossy hatch
#

A little nudge here, a little shot blockage there, and the occasional impediment in tight spaces. That's our Molly!

magic sluice
#

tbh bosko isnt much better tho

#

when i tell him to pick up something he lifts it so high up i cant get it from him

mossy hatch
#

If you salute, Bosco will drop what he's holding, and if you shout, he'll toss it to you

magic sluice
#

what

#

ok i gotta test that

mossy hatch
#

The salute will drop it wherever he is, and the toss is only If you're close enough

magic sluice
#

actually wait, how do you salute?

#

nvm figured it out

mossy hatch
#

Rock and Stone button, but I have no idea on PS

#

Should be a way to Shout as well

magic sluice
#

i did not know bosco did that but hey, im glad i know it now

mossy hatch
#

Yep, Bosco is a better teammate than most people, haha

#

Never talks back, does what you ask him to do

magic sluice
#

yea a bit

mossy hatch
#

And always runs over for a revive immediately

#

If there's any remaining, of course

magic sluice
#

if he had a platform gun he'd be infinetly better than most engis

#

tho i do miss the rock and stone moments that multiplayer has

#

its not the same without teammates

Oh definitely not the same. This game shines brightest with teammates. It's just nice how viable solo-play can be as well

For some reason I thought you couldn't play DRG offline 🤔 time to work on those solo missions lol.

magic sluice
#

i didnt think so at first too but its great that you can

#

and you can even pause the game if you're solo which i really didnt expect

#

ok so i question i just remembered i had:
what happens if mollys path to the drop pod is blocked, with engis platforms for example,
will molly dig her way through or what will happen?

mossy hatch
#

She will eventually teleport to the drop pod, when there's about 30 seconds left on the clock, if she doesn't have a way to get there or gets stuck

magic sluice
#

weird

mossy hatch
#

Perhaps. The alternative would be less desirable, I think

jus need gold promo and everyone and then 3 dwarves on silicate harvester

i couldnt do platinum, haz 4 is already too stessful for me and i dont even dare haz 5

I got the trophy a long time ago and my feelings haven’t changed

I got downed twice last bittergem I got to make sure my teammates could participate

magic sluice

i have only found like 2 bittergems so far, so its gonna be a bit till i get the trophy

eager herald
#

Richual with bittergem is why I play

magic sluice

i rarely see people do the richual

#

when i try to do it with them they just take it and stuff it into molly

velvet magnet
#

I do the richual everytime notnice

#

Greenbeards just don't see my goals

magic sluice
#

i do too but alone most of the time

eager herald
#

I’m always the one who finds it so I carry it back to my teammates and ping it a lot, most of the time at least one other dwarf insists on our financial security

#

Some greenbeards figure it out especially if multiple people ping it before them

wise kiln
magic sluice
#

no i mean i do it alone as in my team doesnt join in on the richual

eager herald
#

The people I played with yesterday were ridiculous they did the richual with enor pearls and carried 2 like 150m to the host to make him ping them

#

Also host wanted to predrill but we didn’t have a driller so we mined all the way to the hearthstone

magic sluice
#

i mean enor pearls are cool and all but not worth the richual

eager herald
#

I mean that mission was ridiculously over the top so it made sense in context

#

Also I joined as a driller but it switched me to scout for some reason, the ping arguments on how to pickaxe the tunnels honestly made it way more fun than it would’ve been

magic sluice
#

and i just got disconnected right as we opened a cargo crate

#

fun times

eager herald
#

That’s lame

#

A couple times hosts reinvited me after dc’ing so I could get the goods

magic sluice
#

this one didnt

#

but whatever

#

in all likelyhood the crate would have just given me a 6th victory move for the gunner

eager herald
#

I’m tryna get some neon bands but I keep getting victory moves

magic sluice
#

do salvage missions have a higher chance for lost equipment to spawn? i mean it would make sense considering that the story behind those missions is that dwarfs died in the cave

soft sentinel
#

sorry, for that late as heck reply. havent been looking at discord xD

eager herald
#

Not lost equipment but they do have higher spawn rates for broken supply pods

#

Complexity increases chance of lost equipment for any mission

#

I think it’s like 1/10, 1/6 and 1/3 for complexities 1 2 and 3

magic sluice
#

broken supply pods?

eager herald
#

They’re in the ground and you can repair them for 0-2 ammo supplies

magic sluice
#

ohh

#

i think i've seen one before but i didnt know they had a use

eager herald
#

I feel cheated when I get 0

#

It might be easier to find crates and gear on salvage missions because of the cave layout

magic sluice
#

is there any point to things like walleyes or the wind stone henge things that spawn sometimes?

#

or are they just deco?

velvet magnet
#

The stones give protection

#

The blue ones

#

Walleyes are meant to die

magic sluice

I figured it was 50% given how I struggled with a dreadnaught while fighting inside the blue formation.

Escort missions on weald have a higher chance for this thing to spawn in the environment with cool effects

still no idea

I’ve only seen it 3-4 times

yea

and aparently they only spawn in the nuclear zone

Didn’t know it was possible but undocumented in other biomes

if ill ever see them ill be happy

They’re pretty cool I wanna use them for refinery pipelines

like why

eager herald

Prob just wanna get the mission over and done or the cave is cursed

Biozone mining complexity 3 has the most cursed shit I’ve ever seen and I wouldn’t blame anyone for wanting to leave

It took us 20 min to find the last two ebonuts

magic sluice
#

restarting the game for the second time because now the game has gotten so aggressive with wanting to make me play gunner that instead of giving me a choice of class or using the one i had selected on the spacerig, it just makes me a gunner

game:
i. will. not. play. gunner.
stop it

eager herald
#

Gunner’s good tho I just solo’ed the edd with him

magic sluice
#

i dont find gunner fun

eager herald
#

He’s a lot more mobile with dash and you can jump off cliffs and catch ziplines

#

Ziplines also can get you out of leeches and grabbers

#

Going up ziplines is the only part that isn’t fun

#

And macteras

i still dont like gunner and i like him less because the game wants me to play him so badly

Me and the rando Engi, simpletons: set up platforms and a zipline to get to our downed teammate above.

Driller teammate, clearly the genius of the team: uses C4 to blow up the ground underneath said downed teammate, killing themselves in the process.

There's a trophy for hosting? I probably got that one right away, I never join games, always host for the most part.

Still need gold promotions, that'll likely be the best last one. Still need 500 missions, about 75% done that one. Only done 60 solo missions, that one's a salt mine morkite slog lol. And for 100% still need a DD speedrun and an EDD completion.

On a related note, I jumped into the launch bay when the drop pod was launching. The force field was off, so I just fell out of the station. That idea is actually feasible.

a shooting range would be great so we dont have to go into a mission to test a new weapon out

I just lagged out of a mission that had a data cell, lost equipment, that weird plant shard, AND infused matrix core on it. Fuck. Ayyyeee it kept the matrix core!!

yea even if you lag out you keep everything you collected

That's sooo awesome

i dont think you get the reward for the data cells tho

Nah, I didnt. That's on mission completion. I'm pushing to get Shock trooper before the new season.

unless they delayed it.

They announced April 28th earlier today

Oh..

welp.. Oh well i'll have it before the first.

magic sluice
#

yea you got plenty of time to finish it

#

pretty sure even if you just started now you could still finish it

crystal wraith
#

Youd have to play pretty hard imo

#

Hopefully you dont burn out that way

I dunno, I started early January and I'm at (I think) level 220 for the season

Just do the daily assignment and you're golden

soft sentinel
#

I'm like 2k xp from getting the loot bug lover pose. I've been playing DRG like crazy and have gone up a ton in the past like 5 days.

#

I was thinking the new season was on like the 3rd or something

magic sluice
#

i only properly started playing at the start of this month and im already past 100

#

so its definitely possible to do

magic sluice
#

ok 10 levels each day might be a bit exagerated

#

but i didnt definitely get 10 levels a day yesterday

#

went from 90 to 100

mellow raft
magic sluice
#

i did have 1 day where i went from scout level 5 to promotion because that day had double XP almost every cycle

crystal wraith
#

Ok but that's a lot of playtime for the average person imo

#

Most people I play with we play for like 4-5 missions and this isn't even on a daily basis

mellow raft
#

I do a couple hours every day, which can be anywhere from 4-10 missions depending on the pace of things.

#

Like if it's just 7-piece point extractions with multiple scouts, that takes almost no time

crystal wraith
#

Yea if its your main game is my main point, lots of my friends enjoy it a lot but only in doses, I enjoy it the most Id say but thats because its such a good game for me to watch Netflix on the side

mellow raft
#

I cannot fathom how you do that unless it's on low hazard level

#

There are so many audio cues in the game

crystal wraith
#

I typically play on 3 which to me feels pretty "easy"

#

I feel like the increase you get from 4 is not worth it for me to put headphones on and 5 where it gets interesting is a hastle if I just wanna relax and grind

#

EDD and DD is usually enough for me a week to "tryhard"

#

Although DD is usually not to bad either

wise kiln
#

Yeah, Haz 3 is the perfect difficulty to play on while listening to music, podcasts in the background, or show on second screen.

Just got the scale brigade armour set. Wish I loved it more 😕 I like the minimalist armour from the shop the best, I think.

ok i know this kinda doesnt fit here but i seriously love DRG, the most fun game i have played in years

crystal wraith
#

why does this not fit in here? 🤔

#

I also think its amazing such a cool concept, reeks of style and flavour and tons of ways to add to it

magic sluice
#

it really is

#

i will shamefully admit that i always thought dwarfs were kinda ugly and lame, but DRG has firmly changed my view on that and im now a huge fan of dwarfs

#

also yes the style is a huge part of why i love DRG, the slightly polygonal look is really cool and works so well for the game

Having great luck with some Drillers today. DD, stage 2, exploder infestation, buddy drills down the black box hack, everyone eats exploders, game over.

oh im glad the driller i had on my team was more competent

but speaking from me playing driller too, we are a bit stupid sometimes

only bunker of u know wut ur doing

you need an engi aswell for bunkering dont you?

wise kiln
magic sluice
#

to close up the hole

neon gorge
magic sluice
#

you dig down with the black box/whatever else, that leaves a hole where it droped in

#

you need to close that up

#

or else enemys just come in

neon gorge
#

you don’t close all the holes

#

that’s suicide

#

bugs will spawn inside the bunker

magic sluice
#

hmm, the one time i had someone on my team bunker us in it worked

#

non spawned inside and we were fully safe

if ur lucky ig

Ah gotcha 👍 makes sense.

neon gorge

magic sluice
#

true haz 5 makes it different

neon gorge
#

not to mention it’s even more boring then a typical bunker

magic sluice
#

it does save ammo

#

if you do it right

neon gorge
#

i only do them if my team isn’t confident in their abilities

magic sluice
#

in that case the C4 of the driller could actually be good

neon gorge
#

cus bulks can always spawn

magic sluice
#

put it ontop before you go in and ones its done just kaboom the whole bunch of enemys into hell

neon gorge
#

ye it bunches them up a bit ig

#

idk why some ppl insist to make bunkers when bulks are on the spawn pool tho

magic sluice
#

yea thatd be super dumb

#

btw, is the dreadnought spawn on this weeks EDD stage 3 random or preset?

neon gorge
magic sluice
#

random spawn

neon gorge
#

then no

#

u just had bad luck

magic sluice
#

yea, we did get the twins tho which i feel are the easiest

neon gorge
#

i feel the opposite haha

magic sluice
#

hmm

neon gorge
#

og dread is scary but he scales when teammates go down at least

magic sluice
#

so he gets weaker if teammates go down?

neon gorge
#

slower and if ur the only dwarf alive he gains the roar attack

magic sluice
#

ohh

neon gorge
#

where he stands still and roars for like 3 seconds

magic sluice
#

i never noticed that

#

yea

#

huh

#

thats good to know

neon gorge
#

meanwhile reviving on haz5 twins feels impossible

#

if i’m the only one alive at least

magic sluice
#

we didnt have that luckily, plus i have the perk that lets you insta revive which usually helps in that situation

#

if i have a gunner on my team i insta him and he'll shield us while we revive the other 2

neon gorge
#

also i think hiveguard is really easy but also really fricking long

magic sluice
#

yea hiveguards are easy but i dont find it fun to fight them

#

its just 3 times the same thing in a row, its a bit of a boring fight

neon gorge
#

the hardest thing about the fight is when you get the sentinel glitch notnice

magic sluice
#

-wait for sentinels to spawn
-kill sentinels
-shoot weak points
-run in and spam anything you got at the hiveguards opened up ass
-repeat x3

magic sluice
neon gorge
magic sluice
#

i never had that luckily

neon gorge
#

i only have it in edds lol

magic sluice
#

i didnt get any hiveguards in my EDD, the two dreadnoughts we got were the twins both times

neon gorge
#

rip

magic sluice
#

the scriped in stage 1 and the random in stage 3

#

both were not too bad

#

the one in stage 1 was worse than in stage 3 for some reason

#

might have been because the area was big and open which made the ranged attacks of them really bad

mellow raft
#

Sometimes I'll close up a bunker with others in it but stay outside myself so that bulks, oppressors, and such are drawn away

magic sluice
#

that seems like a good solution

magic sluice
#

i just noticed my progression:
weeks ago i only got 7 out of the 9 matrix cores because even after 10 attemps with different teams i couldnt get past EDD stage 1
last week i only got 8 cores because i couldnt get past EDD stage 2
and this week i got all 9 cores

#

i also noticed how much my aim has improved since i started playing with the M1000

Perks are important, some overclocks and builds can be super effective but clean oc’s do the job

#

Save nitra, use ammo efficiently and use iron will or medic

#

Kiting and taking out big groups of enemies at once will help

#

And haz 4’s with mutators or haz 5 missions are good practice

wise kiln
# eager herald I didn’t win my first edd til level 50, promoting all the classes is great so yo...

I'm level 100 and haven't even tried an edd yet 🤦 too much PTSD from Destiny 2's raid LFG, I think.

Thanks for the advice. I mainly use Scout and Gunner, know their strengths. I have a bit of a grasp of Engi and Driller, but haven't tinkered at all with either set up a whole lot, basically just copied over the perks I was using on my Scout lol. And yeah, I figured clean OCs are better than nothing.

Never even messed around with Iron Will yet. That's the one where if you go down, you can get back up and have a 10 second... second wind?

What do you think about the grunt possession perk? I see a lot of players, low and high level, always using it. Is it worth the slot? taking a grunt from a swarm and having a bot on your side, essentially?

I should start playing Haz 4 pubs more, I just didn't have a good experience with randoms when I did before.

eager herald
#

Steeve on regen bugs will get his health back too so if that’s one of the mutators then it could help, he’s a decent backup for taking out those 2-3 grunts that you can’t prioritize

#

I use dash and iw/medic on all my classes except hoverboots on scout

#

Dash is insanely good to narrowly avoid death every 25s and turns getting swarmed by enemies into a tactical advantage cause you can get distance fast and hit them all with aoe

#

Also long jumps which can help with kiting and general traversal

mossy hatch
#

With the Beast Master perk, try to grab a Grunt Guard as their natural resistances to multiple damage types will keep them around for a while, and they can often help to pull aggro quite nicely. They do some work and they can sometimes give you just a bit more breathing room. On Haz 5/EDD they're a bit less impressive as even the Guards don't last very long, but not useless

#

Iron Will is a nice second chance. If you can use it to get someone else on their feet, you're potentially back in the fight. And if you get health (Red Sugar, Ammo Resupply, Vampire Perk) before the second wind runs out, you stay up yourself

wise kiln

#

I think always trying to do a careful grapple is way better than a situational perk, like the hover, but go with what feels good for you

wise kiln
# mossy hatch With the Beast Master perk, try to grab a Grunt Guard as their natural resistanc...

I'm going to try that out, too! Always figured slasher would be better for damage, but on higher difficulties, like you said, they're frail, might be best to get as much time out of them as you can.

I read that here a day or two ago, probably you said it lol, but yeah, never knew when in IW and getting health back that you can stay alive, probably makes it very nice if you know the layout of the area you're in/have a resupply nearby 👍

mossy hatch
#

If you can see some Red Sugar , or know it's close, it's a game changer. Or if your teammates are close. If you can get someone else up, even if you don't get health before dropping again, they can potentially get you right back up too. It's another situational perk (never need Iron Will if you never go down, right?), but on Haz 5/EDD you're at your highest risk of getting downed. It can (and has!) save a 3rd Stage EDD from failure

# magic sluice way too many young kids are playing this game on playstation

It's funny you mentioned it, cause yesterday I was doing the scale brigade assignment, and the last mission, with 3x dreadnaughts, I was host and only got one person that joined my game, their mic was on and I could hear a kid giggling, like, what? no one else, just this kid. Maybe there's a parent playing with their kid in their lap or next to them, but whoever was playing was doing some weird stuff, like if I turned to them and saw what they were doing, it was clear that they were trying out different buttons, tapping ping, throwing all their nades. At one point they went down, I went to revive them, and on my way back through the tunnel I took to get to them, I got pinned by them and molly, and all I hear at that point is this kid laughing at me. Then they call in 2 ammo resupplies in a row... START TAKING ALL THE AMMO, ONE SIDE AFTER THE OTHER. It has to be just this kid playing 😑 had to finish that 3x dreadnaught mission with barely any ammo, and had to keep nitra to myself before depositing and trying another dreadnaught (yes, I know I could've kicked...)

TL;DR wth parents out there?! also, the dwarves in this game don't always use some nice language lol.
