For now

[inner gull]

hope this helps

[harsh glen]

[inner gull]

yeah

[fervent hinge]

[gusty mulch]

Hooray

[ocean glen]

Is it actually going to be gacha or are people assuming because it's mobile game

[inner gull]

@spark igloo @dusky wing hop on dead by daylight

[harsh glen]

hierarchy

[harsh glen]

isnt there already a dbd thread 💀 and you mentioned them HERE

[inner gull]

[gusty mulch]

Dbg

[dusky wing]

@cursive beacon Wanna play a quick RORR run?

[cursive beacon]

Lol what happened

How did we get this channel

[dusky wing]

This has been a thing for a bit

Still want to hop on?

(It was made yesterday I think)

[cursive beacon]

Yeah in 5 minutes

[dusky wing]

Alr

I'll start the vc for now, join when you are ready

[cursive beacon]

are you on vc?

[dusky wing]

Nah give me a second

[inner gull]

loader e5. fireworks and bottled chaos printer stage 5. soulbound catalyst cauldron. pocket icbm. remote caffeinator yeah ill post the clips

i killed mithrix before aure spawned in

@halcyon stag

[halcyon stag]

Hi

[inner gull]

yeah

[halcyon stag]

[halcyon stag]

Wtf that’s awesome

[inner gull]

ive never had a fireworks run before in my like, 300 hours

[halcyon stag]

[inner gull]

336 fireworks per interaction

[cursive beacon]

I just got rorr down to <1fps

And I have a pretty beefy PC with 64G ram

[hoary sphinx]

Oh there's a separate thread for ror here too? Hi y'all

Has anyone passed that enforcer trial in rorr? The one where you have to collect drones and kill a scav. It feels unnecessarily hard so maybe I'm doing it wrong

[cursive beacon]

yeah

there is plenty time so you can just keep collecting drones

[hoary sphinx]

I see. Should I go for the left keycard door first? So far I've only used the right door and just died to the swarm of enemies

[cursive beacon]

i actually don't remember which door i used

but yeah you can give that a try

in general i just back up to wall or ledge and shield up

[hoary sphinx]

Ok, I'll try that. Thx!

[cursive beacon]

@dusky wing remember what I said about monsoon elite skin?

[dusky wing]

Ye, what about it?

[cursive beacon]

It turns out rorr does have elite skins

[dusky wing]

Oh yeah you get them in trials I think

[cursive beacon]

They just don't come from monsoon

Yeah

I got some yesterday

It's a cool challenge but much easier than monsoon imo

Oh and I'm not talking about trials skin

There is a final trial that gives elite skin depending on what character you play that trial with

[inner gull]

oh my nemesis finally changed

[unreal elbow]

[fossil valley]

goobles

[crimson oxide]

i am coming in here as well i love risking rain

[unreal elbow]

Did you know that, in Risk of Rain, it rains?

oh yeah
question

does anyone else just hate the Acrid skin or is it just me

[ocean glen]

Did you know that in risk of rain 2 it doesn't

[ocean glen]

1 or 2?

[unreal elbow]

2

[inner gull]

it literally does rain in 2

[ocean glen]

Not a big fan of ror1 acrid

2 is great

[inner gull]

theres rain on commencement

[unreal elbow]

indeed there is

[ocean glen]

Well that rain sucks because I never noticed it

[unreal elbow]

also i meant the Mastery skin
i don't like the Acrid Mastery skin :(

[inner gull]

yeah its lame

[ocean glen]

Oh

Yeah

[inner gull]

best mastery skin is probably railgunners

[ocean glen]

But imo half of them are lame

Or well, I just don't like them

Like railgunner is a well made one but I'm not a fan

And then there's rex alt skin

[crimson oxide]

literally just sniper

[ocean glen]

Which I do like but it's barely different

[crimson oxide]

huntress

[unreal elbow]

i like Bandit, Engineer, Artificer, Capitan, Railgunner and Viend
they're all pretty neat imo

[inner gull]

iirc i use
default: commando, huntress, bandit, mult, rex, acrid
mastery: engineer, artificer, mercenary, loader, commander, railgunner, void fiend

[crimson oxide]

oh yeah artis mastery is great

[unreal elbow]

i would use Mastery Captain skin if i had it >:(

[inner gull]

what captain loadout are you using

also learn speed shooting if you can its super helpful early game

[unreal elbow]

i'd have to quit the current run im in to see, i forgor

[ocean glen]

Arti and rex are ones I switch
Using mastery on mando, huntress, mult, engi, the rest are default

[ocean glen]

Do people use anything other than double hacking?

[inner gull]

id recommend using diablo strike, stun beacon (slot 1, this is important for speed shooting), hacking beacon (slot 2)

[inner gull]

yeah stun is really good

1 hacking really helps with chance shrines and legendary chests tho so i like to have it

[unreal elbow]

i use heal/heal or heal/stun
mostly to keep myself alive cuz im very reckless

[ocean glen]

I think I tried stun for tp but it feels way too niche

[inner gull]

id recommend stun/stun over using heal at all

[ocean glen]

And I prefer consistent dmg over diablo nuke

[inner gull]

diablo nuke is stupid

1 runalds band makes it do 140,000% damage

[ocean glen]

Counterpoint: I missed

[inner gull]

stun beacons

[ocean glen]

On bosses?

[inner gull]

a lot of bosses are pretty slow

[unreal elbow]

e
excuse me?

[ocean glen]

Well I still manage to miss somehow

[inner gull]

also for mithrix you can always get a phase 1 hit and iirc its the same for phase 3 and 4

theres exact timings for it

[inner gull]

diablo strike is good dont let the downsides scare you

[unreal elbow]

[ocean glen]

It's taking a while to get used to

[inner gull]

its so underrated

best pure damage skill is still desperado imo

[ocean glen]

Sucks on mithrix unless you spend quite a bit of time farming it

[inner gull]

600% damage on a 4 second cooldown is already good but the fact it does 10% more total damage per shot makes it amazing

[ocean glen]

I prefer what they did to bandit's alt special in rorr

[inner gull]

also you get crits guaranteed so

bandits alt special in rorr feels terrible to me

you cant target low hp enemies well

anyways im busy now but if anyone wants to watch a run later ill stream some

[ocean glen]

Maybe other day, gotta sleep soon

[unreal elbow]

i might watch
maybe

just don't expect me to speak

[crimson oxide]

i might hrmm

[unreal elbow]

i got to voiding
i got to it's 3rd phase
i died

:(

[inner gull]

@unreal elbow @crimson oxide

[crimson oxide]

oooh

[crimson oxide]

f :(

[inner gull]

are you free to watch a run or two

[crimson oxide]

yeah for a bit :>

[inner gull]

cool lemme just do some things rq

[crimson oxide]

oki

just lemme know which vc channel

[gusty kernel]

we got gifted rorr and still haven't played it

[crimson oxide]

oh you shoullld

[pseudo kelp]

sprinkling planet

drizzle region

[crimson oxide]

id low key offer to play with but i have to finish this anthro scug ref sheet lmao

[gusty kernel]

we still need to finish editing Mocha Video

[crimson oxide]

ooooh?

[inner gull]

next 1 item challenge is headstompers. 1 stack. free win

actually you would want a wax quail and move speed

[gusty kernel]

Loader can already do just outright no items
It was about "pick favorite item and win"

And WE DID.

[crimson oxide]

DAMN

[inner gull]

how it feels to roll pots

[gusty kernel]

The editing on the video is so unfunny and I can't wait to check simplyplural to find out whose fault it is

On the mocha only video

[inner gull]

levels

[crimson oxide]

gotcha!

[unreal elbow]

oh i just read this

are you still going

[inner gull]

got that only on the 4th kill

[ocean glen]

That's the only one I'm missing

[inner gull]

acrid is very fun

[ocean glen]

Was I doing something wrong or does acrid's primary not have hitstun

Makes it feel miserable

[crimson oxide]

holy lucky

[cursive beacon]

1 fps gaming

[unreal elbow]

got an overloading essence >:)

[wispy saffron]

risk of rain world is a good name for this chat

[ocean glen]

Not sure what just happened but a single turret solo'd last phase

[inner gull]

@dusky wing you wanna play a run or 2

[dusky wing]

Why not

[dusky wing]

Go to #602232928826687581

[fossil valley]

WRONG!! TRIPLE HUNTER DEATH BARRAGE!

[dusky wing]

get rorr and join us Plum

[fossil valley]

i plan to

[cursive beacon]

hop on rorr?

@dusky wing are you playing

[dusky wing]

Ye

Wanna join after this run?

[cursive beacon]

yeah

[dusky wing]

@cursive beacon We both died

[cursive beacon]

well

[dusky wing]

#297219553673609216

[cursive beacon]

hello hello

[distant dew]

guhguuh

[cursive beacon]

cya!

[barren trout]

Yoo why is there a big portal in the wall on the first level

[inner gull]

which one

[barren trout]

How do I wall portal

Dried river

[inner gull]

i have absolutely no idea tbh

[barren trout]

Like if I slam my face into a wall next to a statue

There’s just this huge portal there

[barren trout]

Also what’s with all the platforms with stuff behind them

That are physically impossible to get past it seems

[inner gull]

i have no idea

[cursive beacon]

That's artifact

[cursive beacon]

lol rorr final trial with engineer is so hilariously trivialized

why would they give you hourglass as an option

[ocean glen]

Wait until you do it with drifter

[cursive beacon]

i get it, but with engineer you are just timefreezing all the way through

[inner gull]

just got a molten perf and ignition tank from the same boss gg

with a clover

sometimes it just be like that

[cursive beacon]

i should pick up ror 2 again

[inner gull]

tougher times (while i have safer spaces), hopoo feather, and a drones part cauldron, which i was able to use each 3 times

amazing soup island today

also im viend so that brought me to the point i can infinitely use my special

just realized i could have pillar skipped if i grabbed 3 alien heads instead of 3 more drone parts oh well

viend e5. not much to say besides drone parts op

[cursive beacon]

@dusky wing i have a risk of rain world server challenge for you

have artifact of glass enabled, received damage set to 200%, and beat the game as merc using parry alt

[dusky wing]

Deal

[cursive beacon]

the challenge's title is "Weeb"

[wispy saffron]

what's the name of the song that plays in that garden level

[inner gull]

which one

[wispy saffron]

garden

2-3rd srtage

stage

[inner gull]

rorr or ror2

[wispy saffron]

ror2

the one with a shit load of wisps

[inner gull]

https://youtu.be/MQXnhYcNz6w?si=ilDRwJue63ZuERRP

[wispy saffron]

pretty sure it's not this one

[inner gull]

do you mean scorched acres or aphelian sanctuary

[wispy saffron]

found the song

https://youtu.be/81QhAo3hLrM?si=zNINMxDi850m4OIT

[inner gull]

just broke a watch cause i slid slightly too late

[cursive beacon]

turns out rorr artificer can actually beat the game /s

the long cool-downs surprisingly makes sense with her play style

she still pretty bad tho

[inner gull]

ive never taken voidsent flame, somebody convince me why its good

[gusty kernel]

crowbar on crack -sig

aoe crowbar on crack -sig

[inner gull]

its like 3 things, 1 it does less damage (which does matter when a wisp printer is amazing), 2 it doesnt work with forgive me please, 3 it makes phase 4 mithrix worse when considering drones and what not because you cant scrap it

[gusty kernel]

mhm all of those things are fair it's not that voidsent is bad it's that it has to compete with fucking will o wisp -sig

[inner gull]

and also if you have a recycler its a chance 40% chance for polylute or plasma shrimp

[ocean glen]

I prefer it over wisp just because it's instant

Pairs really well with crowbars

[inner gull]

not being able to scrap it is a big issue really

[inner gull]

mult eclipse 5. i saw a syringe printer and a crit printer on the last stage. self explanatory from there

[gusty kernel]

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[inner gull]

got to 1k bleed stacks on mithrix

[cursive beacon]

@dusky wing i figured out how to use rorr sniper's full alt build now

it's a very stylish playstyle

[inner gull]

apparently blast shower can delete pizza

[gusty mulch]

Blast shower is super underrated

You can spam band effects

[inner gull]

ah you can parry lava

[cursive beacon]

yes

you can parry any damage, lava, overloaded bullshit, fall damage, etc.

[fervent hinge]

Risk of Rain World

it was bothering me

[inner gull]

hop on risk of rain 2

[fast escarp]

anyone have risk of rain returns ?

[inner gull]

yeah why

[cursive beacon]

i have it

[ocean glen]

Yea

[crimson oxide]

yes?

[gusty mulch]

[fossil valley]

[wide spade]

riak of rain world

[inner gull]

substandard duplicator with salvage drifter gg

[cursive beacon]

Damn lol

[inner gull]

hows recycle in comparision to salvage

[cursive beacon]

I haven't tried recycle too much but I don't think it can possibly match up with how broken salvage is

It's just worse artifact of command

[inner gull]

salvage is really strong given that you can easily have 12ish temporary items up really consistently

scales better with cooldown reduction too

im trying it rn

how about scrap cube vs the default

theres nothing stopping you from rerolling an item infinitely

[topaz quest]

OMG!

risk of rain!

[harsh glen]

nah

im sorry its not real

hope this helps

[topaz quest]

nooooooooooooooo

life ruined!

[inner gull]

accidentally clicked m1 while rolling a pot

and that was the only good pot

update that was the only pot all the others are gone

[cursive beacon]

Doesn't the cooldown drag the timer on?

Cube is very good

It's also a source of agro like decoy

[inner gull]

i hate pots so dearly

luckily most of the characters that really want bands have another way to get them like loader pylon, captain beacon, and railgunner mines launching pots

nvm were so back i found the rallypoint delta radar scanner now im only a single enviroment log away

[ocean glen]

I prefer default secondary tbh

[unreal elbow]

i wish i had a pc with rorr :(

[fast escarp]

anyone up for some risk of rain returns

[fossil valley]

where the fart is this teleporter

[inner gull]

look for red particles

[fossil valley]

should i not immediately activate it

[inner gull]

i prefer to loot the entire stage before i activate it

check for mountain shrines and equipment barrels for tricorns

#1165313646784675920 message did u buy it tho

[fossil valley]

yea im playing it rn

[inner gull]

neato

sotv adds a lot of cool stuff i think

[fossil valley]

crying theres like no items

[topaz quest]

@fossil valley we should play together :3

[fossil valley]

what the fart transcendence just took away all my health

[inner gull]

you have better health now :>

[cursive beacon]

All luna items have a downside to compensate for their powerful effects. You can tell whether an item is luna item by checking if it has a blue border

Talking about luna items...

[inner gull]

"downside"

some of the downsides are so sad and theyre all on the most powerful ones

[cursive beacon]

Does anyone here NOT use file editing for luna coins

[inner gull]

me

i dont even use luanrs so i dont have a need for them

[cursive beacon]

Based

[inner gull]

i have like ~980ish

[cursive beacon]

Wtf

[inner gull]

gonna go through the stockpile cause after i do e8 i plan to do e8 voidling runs

i have a lot of hours its not suprising

[cursive beacon]

I use organic coins too but I have only 60

Working on all-character e8?

[inner gull]

yeah

[cursive beacon]

That's epic

[inner gull]

i did bandit e8 like last year

now im doing it by eclipse level

also working on logs

[cursive beacon]

Do you usually loop for eclipse?

[inner gull]

missing one enviroment log and five boss logs (mithrix, voidling, overloading worm, grovetender, aure

no i never loop

looping is boring

[cursive beacon]

Same

[inner gull]

if you loop it gets too easy a lot of the time too

ill probably do it when i need to get those last logs

[cursive beacon]

I mean I thought that's how most people clear e8

I just don't have the patience to spend 1 hours+ on one run

[inner gull]

since i get an overloading worm like every 25 runs so id need like.... 825 runs i get to stage 5 to get that log

[cursive beacon]

Wait logs have stages?

[inner gull]

no i just fumbled the edit 3 times in a row

[cursive beacon]

Lol kk

What's your clear rate on eclipse then? No-lunar no-loop seems very susceptible to bad rng

I don't loop but I do use lunar shop

[inner gull]

idk not terrible

at least 10%

[cursive beacon]

[inner gull]

the only characters id say im particularly bad at are rex and captain

rex gets the short end of the stick when it comes to eclipse and captain im still learning speed shooting so i focus on it too much

[cursive beacon]

What's speed shooting?

[inner gull]

https://youtu.be/EdpSHcropYY?si=vXQn9hLeNuUsmIQJ first section

[cursive beacon]

Thanks for sharing! I'll check it out later today

[dusky wing]

@fossil valley If you want too, can we play ROR2? Im down to mess around in it

I understand if you dont

I have some free time rn so Im down to kill it with something at least

[fossil valley]

yea sure

in a sec

[dusky wing]

Alright

I'll be in post mortem

[fossil valley]

@dusky wing holy fuck its like 50 degrees in my room

its so hot

not literally

but i have 3 fans on and im sweating

i just opened the windows

i dont know

what i would look for

no

[inner gull]

do you guys think i got the crown

[topaz quest]

nah

go again

[fossil valley]

thanks for playin

its still hot as fuck in mmy room

no promises

[fossil valley]

is bandits "blast" better than burst

i just unlocked it this morning

also how 😭

[topaz quest]

nah

i hate blast

[fossil valley]

i dont like it either

it does less damage if you hit all shots with the shotgun

[topaz quest]

you need like 10 back up mags for sadist though

[fossil valley]

gwar

ive never seen that item

[topaz quest]

and its worse ;-;

[fossil valley]

i got the game like 2 days ago

[fossil valley]

i still wanna 100% the game

[topaz quest]

gives you another charge of your secondary

[gusty kernel]

just loop a bunch of times and kill a gup

[topaz quest]

if you have 10 backup mags you'll have 11 knife charges

oh you get backup mag by fully charging a teleporter without being hit

[fossil valley]

idk what a gup is

[topaz quest]

gup

do i post a gup....

[gusty kernel]

https://tenor.com/view/gup-risk-of-rain-risk-of-rain-2-ror-ror2-gif-6201409790216913937

OH TENOR WORKS IN HERE WE CAN POST GUP

[topaz quest]

MINE DONT

I CAN'T

god do i need surv

[fossil valley]

i dont think ive ever seen this

[topaz quest]

so sad

you are missing out

[gusty kernel]

gup <3

[topaz quest]

i used to be a hater

but then

[fossil valley]

i want a character with insane mobility the fastest characters i have are huntress and bandit 😭

[ocean glen]

Better mid range, worse close range

Fair sidegrade

[topaz quest]

loader......

[fossil valley]

loader is fast if you know how to use them well which i dont yet

[topaz quest]

learn

[fossil valley]

i will

[inner gull]

no its super innacurate with less damage

[inner gull]

nuh uh theyre equal

range vs aoe

[fossil valley]

ALSO how did you know i have loader

does it show you on steam or somethng

[topaz quest]

i don't

[inner gull]

loader is the mobility character

[fossil valley]

loader reminds me of ultrakrill

[topaz quest]

i actually thought you didn't have it

[fossil valley]

i dont like them they are strictly melee and super tanky

[topaz quest]

but also it does show me on steam

cause achievements :/

[topaz quest]

the range ain't even that good though

[inner gull]

it is i think

personally i like the aoe and slightly higher damage but theres a case to be made for both

[topaz quest]

yeah i can see it

just the knife feels wayy better to me

[fossil valley]

could i find a 3d printer with tritipped dagger and just get 10 for this

[topaz quest]

yes

that's what i did

[inner gull]

hemorrhage isnt the same as bleed

[topaz quest]

oh wait

tri tip

[inner gull]

id recommend getting lots of backup mags and using lights out

[topaz quest]

go find a backup mag printer

[inner gull]

then just backstab the tp boss

[topaz quest]

10 backup mags + lights out

[fossil valley]

what the fish,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

wehat tp boss

[inner gull]

i can help if you want

any

[fossil valley]

crying

[gusty mulch]

get a ton of backup magazines, hope for an alien head and once you get to bazaar between time you just go ham behind newt

you'll likely get the achievement

[fossil valley]

what the fart does half of this mean

i JUST got the game girl

[gusty mulch]

ohh

ok that makes sense

don't worry then for now

backup magazines are something you can unlock later

[fossil valley]

CRYING WTF

[gusty mulch]

you just have to funny charge a teleporter without getting hit to get it

[fossil valley]

THATAS SO UNINTENTIONALLY MEAN

[gusty mulch]

huh?

i didn't mean to make is sound mean, sorry :(

[inner gull]

can you use alt skills for judgement in rorr

[ocean glen]

No

[fossil valley]

its ok i understand you didnt intent to be mean

erm.. what the Gup?

do you wanna play a run

[gusty mulch]

sure thing

[fossil valley]

im gonna try a character ive only used once so... bare with me

[gusty mulch]

it'll be all good lol

[inner gull]

who

[fossil valley]

i made more lemon cookies they are so good

[fossil valley]

loader

[inner gull]

remember movement speed increases your charge punch damage

[fossil valley]

HWAR

[inner gull]

rats you should help plum get bands theyre awesome

[fossil valley]

good to know

[gusty mulch]

[fossil valley]

i dont understand exactly what safer spaces does

[gusty mulch]

every 15 second you get a shield that takes 1 hit

no damage to you for that 1 hit

[fossil valley]

does it stack

[ocean glen]

Yes, reduces cooldown

[fossil valley]

is tactical slide better than dive

[gusty mulch]

true

[fossil valley]

THAT DOESNT ANSWER MY QUESTION

[gusty mulch]

ohhh

yeah slide > dive

[fossil valley]

@dusky wing HELP I GOT A SHITTY LUNAR ITEM AND DIED

IM CRYING

[dusky wing]

Which one was it?

[ocean glen]

Lesson learned, no more lunars ever

[fossil valley]

visions of heresay

[dusky wing]

Ahh

[fossil valley]

i was playing loader

[dusky wing]

Don't get the heresy items

[fossil valley]

it ruined my entire synergy

[fossil valley]

I DIDNT KNOW

[dusky wing]

The heresy items replace your abilities

Good for certain survivors with really bad abilities

[ocean glen]

Worth on some tbh

[dusky wing]

But other than that you shouldn't really use it

[dusky wing]

At least you know now

[fossil valley]

wtf boowomp is now my 4th most used emote

wtf

it used to be hunterglee

what happened

this is so boowomp moment

[fossil valley]

engi time

how does one get artifacts

[cursive beacon]

there is a huge teleporter beneath the terrain in sky meadows. you need to type in password to summon a certain challenge, and each challenge rewards a certain artifact

[inner gull]

find the code and input it in on sky meadows at the big teleporter under the map

[cursive beacon]

the codes are well hidden and fun to hunt, and wiki got your back if you can't find a certain one

i still haven't found them all yet

[fossil valley]

impenetrable my ass

enemies just walk right through it

crying

[inner gull]

yeah its not very good

[cursive beacon]

lol engi shift

it's borderline useless

[fossil valley]

PLEASE I WANT A MOVEMENT OPTION FOR SHIFT

sobbing

so many healing items

[gusty mulch]

IDP my beloved

[fossil valley]

how do i use the mines effectively

i kinda just toss them out whenever i remember i have them

[cursive beacon]

Pretty much

[fossil valley]

sobbing

[cursive beacon]

The 300% damage thing is gimmicky and people don't usually try to utilize thay

[cursive beacon]

BUNGUS

[fossil valley]

IKR IT WAS SO GOOD

so sad

i died bc the titans lauched me into the air and therefore out of my INSANE healing radii

[cursive beacon]

The run-winning item for engi

[fossil valley]

yea well im still bad at the game so far

also the shield is so useless its harmful by making me go out of my way to press the shift key

i hate it

[cursive beacon]

Sorry that was typed before you mentioned your lost run

Yeah basically you still need to run around at all time as engi

[fossil valley]

i was not doing that to say the least

[cursive beacon]

The shield and bungus are for turrets

You can pretend that these two things don't exist for you character

[fossil valley]

is artifact of sacrifice good

it seems good

idk when i got it lma

[cursive beacon]

The drop rate is kinda low

[fossil valley]

oh its stinky rng

nvm

[cursive beacon]

Yeah drops on a rng basis

[fossil valley]

@dusky wing wanna do a run

[cursive beacon]

The best artifact is artifact of command

It lets you choose what item to get every time you pick up an item

[dusky wing]

I will do one quick run

And then I will go back to work

[fossil valley]

you dont have to

[dusky wing]

Go into the Post mortem vc

[dusky wing]

I am a day ahead of my work

dw

[fossil valley]

can you show me how to get new characters :3

[dusky wing]

Any one specifically?

[fossil valley]

no

i dont know what they are like before unlocking them so how would i know

[dusky wing]

Well the name could be interesting

[fossil valley]

fair

i forgot all of them tho

[dusky wing]

You can check rn

[fossil valley]

the ones i havent unlocked

[cursive beacon]

Then why are you still working??

[dusky wing]

Because I want to finish early

[fossil valley]

SNEEZE JUMPSCARE

salud

[fossil valley]

it doesnt tell me the names

type in what chat

oh

[dusky wing]

Huntress, Bandit, Mul-T, Engineer, Artificer, Mercenary, Rex, Loader, Acrid, Captain

[fossil valley]

thats fine

short

[cursive beacon]

Gorilla do you have slicing winds?

[dusky wing]

For merc?

Yeah

[cursive beacon]

nice, you thwarted my plan of calling you a noob

just finished food and can play now

aren't you ahead?

[fossil valley]

thats not procrastination

you deserve breaks

[cursive beacon]

[inner gull]

artifacts are alternate game styles basically you shouldnt use them because theyre good or bad

[cursive beacon]

wrong answer

arti is bad

[inner gull]

arti is good :<

[fossil valley]

i see

[inner gull]

i would recommend not using command because it defeats like half of the fun of the game that is random items

[dusky wing]

@cursive beacon Are you gonna leave rn?

[cursive beacon]

wut, aren't you the one leaving?

oh yeah easy

[dusky wing]

Alright

Gl then!

Cya!

[fossil valley]

i thought that dtooo

[dusky wing]

I forgor I was in vc lol

[inner gull]

adaptive chests make me sad i missed a feather and a recycler (while there was a bad red on the ground)

[inner gull]

i find the fact the glass frog is in the seekers of the storm trailer really interesting

[fossil valley]

shuttup whoever said this loader is awesome

[gusty mulch]

you'd love mercenary then

strictly melee but not at all tanky

[fossil valley]

i still like range

but i also like the silly mobility and damage

[crimson oxide]

oooh funky

i suppose the player will be chasing glass frogs like the brothers then

[fossil valley]

why is huntress lyns height

[gusty mulch]

heyy, huntress is not that short

smh

[fossil valley]

as a short person im allowed to call anybody short

[gusty mulch]

how short are you?

[fossil valley]

5'2

ik gross imperial

i dont feel like converting it

[gusty mulch]

omg baby size

that's so cool

[fossil valley]

HEY

nuhuh

[gusty mulch]

[fossil valley]

[gusty mulch]

[fossil valley]

meanie

[gusty mulch]

i am very mean, yes :]

[fossil valley]

whyyy

[gusty mulch]

no idea

[fossil valley]

also i found what seemed to be rex in the shitty region

it made the i teraciton sound but did nothing

how do i unlock it i dont care about figuring it out myself

[gusty mulch]

you need an item for it

ok os

so

[inner gull]

you need the fuel array from the drop pod

[fossil valley]

oh thats what thats for

[gusty mulch]

in the escape pod, take the fuel cell from it and take it to that area

[inner gull]

if you go below 50% hp you die when you have it

[gusty mulch]

without exploding

[fossil valley]

what char is best to try

to unlock

[inner gull]

anyone but mult, acrid, and viend since they cant get the array

[fossil valley]

[gusty mulch]

any really, but the best way to go about it is to try look for other equipment for the time being before grabbing it and moving on

[inner gull]

make sure you go to the bazaar on stage 3 so you can pick the right stage 4

[fossil valley]

@dusky wing ig ill talk here

[gusty mulch]

[fossil valley]

do you wanna join us :3

[gusty mulch]

what the rain

sure

[fossil valley]

sloggers?????

wtfish?????

join vc

[gusty mulch]

wtf (what the frick

huh?

[fossil valley]

take your time

[gusty mulch]

mods

ohh

[fossil valley]

me

i dont

[gusty mulch]

i don't use mods much, i forget

[fossil valley]

bc im cool

not bc im new

im so epic i dont need mods

to enhance my experience

mods are truly beneath me

[gusty mulch]

but who wouldn't want to play goku in RoR2?

[fossil valley]

/j :3

oops i just made you host

ok

LOL

[fossil valley]

WHAT

[gusty mulch]

it's a real mod

[fossil valley]

wow

[gusty mulch]

there's a Jestream Sam merc skin

and a senator armstrong loader skin

[fossil valley]

for whom the bell tolls,,,,

captain or loader

cant decide

i did the 300mph achievement

it was actually really easy lol

[gusty mulch]

RoR2 achievements are so silly

[cursive beacon]

it's rain season?

[fossil valley]

is it worth to invest all my white items in focus crystal (playing loader)

[cursive beacon]

no

[fossil valley]

theres a scrapper ont his level too but i forgor where it is

[cursive beacon]

almost all your whites are top tier

[fossil valley]

almost*

[cursive beacon]

focus crystal also doesn't scale that well anyway, having a few is enough

key is midtier i think

yeah if you have scrapper you can scrap the key

[fossil valley]

ok

[cursive beacon]

some people swear by keys. it's a hit or miss imo

[fossil valley]

its raining

there was a risk of rain

[cursive beacon]

there was a risk of rain

[fossil valley]

kjaros band is carrying me so hard rn

its insane

[cursive beacon]

it's pretty much the best green

what char are you playing

[fossil valley]

loader

i already said :3

[gusty mulch]

Loder

[fossil valley]

thats why i was big on the focus crystal

[cursive beacon]

sorry didn't see that earlier

band is basically loader's winning condition

[gusty mulch]

Something that could be really funny is just a whole load of fuel cells

And blast shower

For continual band effects

[cursive beacon]

focus crystal isn't very useful on loader in late game as you rely more on shift for safe damage

merc is more or less the only one that actually wants crystal, like engi with bungus

[gusty mulch]

Merc <3

[cursive beacon]

Merc ❤️

[fossil valley]

shift still benefits from focus crystal tho

[cursive beacon]

that's true

[fossil valley]

omg fuck the mushrooms they almost killed my run in 2 seconds bc i wasnt moving

[fossil valley]

@bitter saffron im gonna gift you ror2 in 2 weeks >:3

[bitter saffron]

WHA

[fossil valley]

look at this gooberish activity

[bitter saffron]

spin

[fossil valley]

i had to screenshot bc it got obliterated by automod lol

can i make it up to mithrix as loader without doing the other shenanigans

will this take green scrap like how do these things work

[inner gull]

scrap syringes and key

[inner gull]

takes 3 white items

[fossil valley]

youre like 30 minutes too late 😭

[inner gull]

im 30 minutes too early

youll need the knowledge. for the future

[fossil valley]

why syrnges

i thought they were really good

[inner gull]

not on loader

most of her damage comes from her utility

theyre also not the greatest on acrid and arti

also having too much attack speed on merc makes it harder to do m1 extension so you dont want too many

[fossil valley]

idk what the fart that is but ok

noted

[cursive beacon]

it's funny how merc can get crippled by some items considered the best in the game, like syringe and goat hoof

hardlight can also feel a bit messy with the default shift

[cursive beacon]

syringe is good for characters that spam high rate-of-fire M1

[inner gull]

basically every but who i mentioned

[cursive beacon]

yeah everyone else wants syringe

[inner gull]

especially railgunner and power mode double nailgun mult since they can use the recoil to move and more fire rate makes the recoil boosting stronger

attack speed on railgunner also makes the perfect reload window larger iirc

[fossil valley]

i love not having oneshot protection when im at 89% health

boowomp

also skill issue bc i dont know mithrixes attacks at all lol

[cursive beacon]

yeah, it changes window size

but what's about the recoil?

are you talking about railgunner M1 recoil?

[fossil valley]

[inner gull]

yeah

[cursive beacon]

can you use it to skip the pre-mithryx section?

[inner gull]

railgunner can pillar skip without any items

[cursive beacon]

oh right the mine

[inner gull]

syringe makes it even easier

[cursive beacon]

how many syringe do you need?

[inner gull]

0

if you mean m1 only idk

[cursive beacon]

yeah m1 only

only one way to find out

[crimson oxide]

i think at least 7

late but yeah

[crimson oxide]

railgunner's pillar skip is so much fun unironically
its impressive to me at least

[fossil valley]

how this btw

also how do i beat the game in under 25 minutes that sounds insane at my skill level

also whats an overloading worm

[inner gull]

overloading worm is a boss

[inner gull]

do artifact of vengeance as loader

game in under 25 minutes you just wanna hit tp instantly and go to celestial portal

[fossil valley]

what the brackin is that

[inner gull]

on stage 8 it appears

[dusky wing]

Plum doesn't know what artifacts are

[fossil valley]

i do

i dont know what that one does tho

alien head from a normal chest as arti

[dusky wing]

Shoot nice

[dusky wing]

A clone of you spawns sometimes and tries to kill you

[fossil valley]

how would that help me beat the game faster

[dusky wing]

It wasn't, it was answering the previous screenshot you sent

[dusky wing]

This one

[dusky wing]

Play on a lower difficulty

Most of the ror2 community did it that way

[fossil valley]

died

crying

1st run as arti

[topaz quest]

Monsoon forever

[fossil valley]

ive been loaderpilled i cant just be in kissing distance of the enemy and punch them i have to actually dodge 😭

wow im really struggling with artificer

wow easy mode is really easy

[gusty mulch]

She can be really hard to get the hang of tbh,

[fossil valley]

what does the achievement mean by celestial portal btw

[gusty mulch]

On stage 8, a celestial portal appears

[fossil valley]

stage 8?

guh

[gusty mulch]

You can go through it to get to a moment fractured

Upon charging the teleporter on stage 8, a celestial portal will spawn

And it will spawn on every stage 3 level from that point (stages 8, 13, 18 etc)

You get to stage 8 through looping

By interacting with the primordial teleporters weird hoop thingies

Getting to stage 8 also means you can go in and die from the funny pillar

And unlock merc

[fossil valley]

can i do both at the same time

same run*

[gusty mulch]

Wait you want the loader achievement?

If so then yes

Get there in under 25 minutes then die to the pillar

[fossil valley]

good lord ive picked up zero items and have been BREEZING through every boss on easy mode

so to loop i need to interact with this so the rings are together

[inner gull]

mhm

[fossil valley]

and it "aligns with the planet"

cool thanks

why did i go to the bazaar

i didnt donate to the newt altar

[topaz quest]

sometimes the blue portal just appears

[fossil valley]

[fossil valley]

how do i get artifacts again i forgor

[cursive beacon]

Go to the huge portal below the terrain in sky meadow and activate it

It also has a 9-key pad that lets you set different combinations for different artifacts

It is the place that I asked you to go when we played

[fossil valley]

i didnt get sky meadow ;-;

[cursive beacon]

It's stage 5, you're guaranteed to get it

[fossil valley]

what the frack

[cursive beacon]

Oh nice

That's a clue to one of the artifact's code

If you find the other part you will get the full code

[fossil valley]

what happens once i put in the code bc last time i didnt get it

[cursive beacon]

Activate the portal using the console nearby, if the code is correct you can go to the hidden area using the portal. If you beat the challenge of the area you acquire the artifact for future runs

Also the pad has a correct code by default so you can actually activate the portal without setting any code

The default one gives artifact of sacrifice glass

Actually I'm not super sure which one the default code gives

[fossil valley]

i hate status effects i hate status effects i hate status effects i hate status effects [

i didnt notice i was taking massive damage until itt was too late

anybody wanna play a run or two with me im bored

[cursive beacon]

That's why blast shower is one of the best items

[fossil valley]

what does blast shower do

[cursive beacon]

I can't rn

It removes all your status effect

[fossil valley]

ZAMN

[cursive beacon]

For some reason bands' cool down is also a status effect

So you can use blast shower to immediately reset bands to trigger again

[inner gull]

and safer spaces cooldown

[fossil valley]

that seems exploitable

[inner gull]

its very useful but safer spaces already gets low cooldown when you have like 10 of then

its one of my top equipments if i dont need a pillar skip

[gusty mulch]

In a way it is, but in order to get all the necessary items for it, you have to be very lucky and take some risks, or just use artifact of command i guess

But even if you have that much stuff, you can still die

And when you go to fight mithrix he can ruin the build and kill you

[fossil valley]

despite my name, please still ping me

[dusky wing]

There are a few items that can give you a huge advantage when using safer spaces. The most usable and arguably best is blast shower, which negates the reliance on multiple safer spaces since one proc of blast shower cancels the cool down, if you play your cards right you can ALMOST be unkillable

Also blast shower in general after its buff is an amazing item

[ocean glen]

What was it before the buff?

[dusky wing]

It didn't change cooldowns I think

[ocean glen]

Yeah that's underwhelming

[dusky wing]

Yeah all it did was remove status effects

But now you can combine it with the bands and safer spaces which gives you very high damage and stupid amounts of survivability

[fossil valley]

i really want the dlc

[dusky wing]

You know what, no (This reply still pings you so win win)

[fossil valley]

[dusky wing]

Its not too expensive, at least here, though I recommend getting Risk of Rain Returns first since its a similar price I think for a really good game

[fossil valley]

ok

i didnt have enough money to buy all during the sale

[harsh glen]

bare with like 500 ping with me as a host and you get to have DLC items and stages!!! :D

[fossil valley]

also i told refi i would gift it to her

[dusky wing]

The next sale is in December 21st and should be far bigger, you could probably buy it then

[fossil valley]

yea that was my plan

im a sucker for a good sale

i hate it

[dusky wing]

Same

[harsh glen]

if you want the characters then explode 💥

[fossil valley]

i really want railgunner they are the exact type of character i like

[harsh glen]

railgunner is cool

[dusky wing]

Railgunner is really fun yeah, takes some skill to get proper positioning though

Also omg this sudden frost here is the worst

I'm freezing trying to type on my phone

[fossil valley]

how cold is it there

its below freezing here

[dusky wing]

-6 C

Was 7 C yesterday

[ocean glen]

Hmmm

-29

[dusky wing]

Dam

[harsh glen]

we're starting to get back into 35-40 celsius weather here

summer is progressing

[fossil valley]

exact same here

[dusky wing]

[fossil valley]

how hot are the summers in south africa at the highest

[ocean glen]

Worst I got was like 34

[harsh glen]

think it gets higher in other parts but here? like, i dont really remember tbh, maybe like 45 on a bad day? ill have to check old weather

[fossil valley]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1136058119420645579/1162112120972910723/1127501188842131536.gif?ex=653ac040&is=65284b40&hm=e97640a42d5462c4fa9d7ed5ae5ef563e47c70a3e79530691b97110c3c56075c&

[fossil valley]

COME BACK HERE

[harsh glen]

wtf????????? its showing like low 30s

summer weather is NOT low 30s at the fucking highest

[fossil valley]

[dusky wing]

If the surrounding air is dry then it will feel hotter

[fossil valley]

i thought it was the opposite

[harsh glen]

#offtopic-agenderal message LOOK

[fossil valley]

humid is hotter

[dusky wing]

Huh? Lemme check then

[harsh glen]

this was like mid november and it was mid 30's
not even summer yet

[ocean glen]

What are winters like for you then?

[gusty mulch]

[dusky wing]

Yeah your right, it's when humidity is higher

[fossil valley]

DONT GIFT IT TO ME YOU ARE TOO NICE

[dusky wing]

[harsh glen]

very comfy

again cant remember exactly, not good with remembering temperatures apparently

[gusty mulch]

Well, if you want it, the offer will be there :3

[ocean glen]

Above or below zero?

[fossil valley]

thank you for the offer!!!! die now!!!!!!!!!!!!

[harsh glen]

apparently like 15-20 celsius high and then like 4-5~ celsius low according to what im reading
rarely below zero if ever

[gusty mulch]

Oh... Okay... I guess ill go and die.... (/j)

[ocean glen]

Ok it is comfy

[dusky wing]

I refuse, you will live now

[fossil valley]

NOOO DONT

[gusty mulch]

You can leaf fumbling son of a mud golem!

[harsh glen]

how rat be feeling after you say this

[gusty mulch]

[dusky wing]

Oh wait I said the wrong thing

You WILL die NOW!

🥚

[gusty mulch]

[dusky wing]

💥

[gusty mulch]

Wtf why is an egg there

[dusky wing]

I throw egg

[gusty mulch]

Oh,

[dusky wing]

Egg explode

[gusty mulch]

Egg jumpscare wtf

[fossil valley]

classic #vanilla-server-challenges behavior

[dusky wing]

Thats not even-

[fossil valley]

i really wish you could save runs to come back to it later

ive had the game running since last night so i can finish my run when i get home

[harsh glen]

please just install the proper save mod 😭

im begging you

its not that hard to install r2modman or thunderstore

i can teach you

[fossil valley]

please do

can you still unlock achiveemnts with the mod

[harsh glen]

yes

mods dont stop achievement elligibility

even an unlock all mod (doubt you want it though)

ok so theres not much difference between thunderstoremm and r2mm but like i think r2 has less ads

i switched to thunderstore at some point because i thought it was better but im pretty sure its literally just more ads and thats it

legit gonna install r2 rn just to check and thats it

yeah okay it is

[fossil valley]

ads

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1121284825190518824/1134944050785558599/gleejudgetrans.gif

im not downloading that

[harsh glen]

installation process:

1. click manual download here https://thunderstore.io/package/ebkr/r2modman/
2. unzip file
3. run the exe
4. go through the installer steps

how to add mods:

1. search the game you want to mod (risk of rain 2 in this case)
2. make a new profile or use the "Default" profile thats pre-made (no mods to clarify)
3. search for you mod, click the dropdown, and download it

you can start the game at the top left where it says "play modded" (also play vanilla but like why would you do that)

extra notes:
if you go to Settings > Profile, the 4th option allows you to export your currently selected profile as a code, that your friends can import by going Settings > Profile > Change profile > Import / Update > either option > From code
mods i strongly recommend are BetterUI (involved stats of your character, proc coefficiencies listed on your attacks, exact descriptions of what items do, and their chance to proc and from what if applicable), EmptyChestsBeGone (empty, open chests dissapear after a short time), Exchange_Changes (quicker scrappers, printers, chance shrines, etc), and ofcourse, ProperSave

[harsh glen]

relatively comprehensive

you just need the first 2 bulletpoint lists and the sentence directly after them

extra notes are just how to share profiles and also other mod recommendations

another mod rec, actually, that i just personally quite enjoy: Ephemeral_Coins. gives you access to a new artifact called Artifact of the New Moon which causes lunar coins to be replaced with Ephemeral Coins, which are instead a slightly more common per-run currency. also includes slight price reductions to ephemeral coin costing items and doesnt void your previous lunar coin data if you were wondering

[amber falcon]

NOT READING ALLAAAAAAT

[harsh glen]

so treal

[amber falcon]

NOT READING ALLA

[harsh glen]

wanted to say so true and so real at the same time so i said so treal im actually dumb

[harsh glen]

@fossil valley heres your process btw yw

[fossil valley]

no

sorry

[harsh glen]

aww man

r2 doesnt have ads

and you dont have to leave your computer open for hours on end

and also you dont get "...and his music was electric." unironically telling you what an item does

[cursive beacon]

If not for the info mod my friend would have refunded ror 2

[harsh glen]

actually? clutch

[crimson oxide]

info mod helps so much with learning items

also wait theres a save mod really
damn

[harsh glen]

mhm, ProperSave
even works in multiplayer

[fossil valley]

FUCK my game got closed so my run is lost

it was a good one too

[crimson oxide]

daaaamn how close were you

[fossil valley]

comencement

on a looped run too

also is thunderslam good

i know the pylon is super useful but that extra damage sounds really nice

single target dps*
