#

does it?

elfin zinc
#

it does

#

it has blessings you can pick items from

#

it's real good

misty marten
#

its actually EASIER than the regular path too which is weird but once you get to prime meridian the difficulty spieks hard

elfin zinc
#

it's just like the alt path from isaac really

scenic bough
#

Balance wise my main gripes are
-laser, that god forsaken laser
-gilded elites are just a bother
-most of the new items are really weak

misty marten
#

alt path from isaac has 2 stages for each chapter thou..

#

and it lends itself better to isaac's random stage generation

elfin zinc
#

while that's true i think the path of the colossus aint all that bad for the health of the game

fresh basalt
elfin zinc
#

you can always go in there and get extra items and go back to mithrix path

scenic bough
elfin zinc
#

i wish killing the false son always ended your run though!!

marsh grail
#

The issue with the new final stage is
It's too early
New whites and none of them were speed which the boss requires, so a more cluttered pool
Too early means less items and less time to build
The reward isn't enough to justify missing out on stages

elfin zinc
#

so you gotta hit them from a distance

fresh basalt
scenic bough
#

O h

#

Right

#

Because tesla coil ennemies worked so well before

#

That may explain some of my mystery deaths when in looped runs
Might've gotten tesla'd without realizing

elfin zinc
fresh basalt
#

which may explain the bs death i had the other day actually

elfin zinc
scenic bough
#

I think i'll just
Command run to get the second survivor

fresh basalt
#

headstomped down, died immediately. if i had to guess, radius hit enemies within a twisted elite radius and my massive headstomp damage reflected back to me and instantly killed me

scenic bough
#

And then go with my friend to mithrix

#

That way no looping

fresh basalt
#

on drizzle

elfin zinc
#

i'll buy the dlc once it's patched and fixed

scenic bough
#

I feel like looping is where the BS is most apparent

#

And that's bad for survivor 2

elfin zinc
#

i'm scared gearbox won't fix the thingies and i'll just buy the thing in vain

scenic bough
#

Because getting gold portal is luck

#

So loops may happen

elfin zinc
#

BTW i wish false son always ended your runs

fresh basalt
elfin zinc
#

as an alternative to mithrix

#

smhhhhhh

scenic bough
elfin zinc
#

if you don't have the halycon seed you just loop your run

fresh basalt
#

the bazzar can have gilded coast in the things in the back

elfin zinc
#

wtf!!!!

fresh basalt
#

it's a way higher chance

elfin zinc
#

that's like so bullshit lmao

scenic bough
scenic bough
elfin zinc
#

please make the halycon seed thing just a little easter egg to unlock the character

fresh basalt
#

i just built a railgunner that killed all 3 phases within seconds

elfin zinc
#

not smth NECESSARY to end your run there

#

which would be preferable

#

instead of looping the entire fucking thing

#

and killing mithrix

scenic bough
#

Our best run did bring haylcon to false son

#

We died to final phase

#

Because guess what

fresh basalt
#

the laser

scenic bough
#

It's even more BS with the seed

misty marten
#

doesnt it spawn auri

#

as a boss

fresh basalt
#

i think it does yea

scenic bough
#

It spawns auri against you yes

#

And he got his own fucking lazer

fresh basalt
#

after you kill the son? or during phase 3

scenic bough
#

So now
Two lazers

misty marten
scenic bough
fresh basalt
#

jesus i didn't notice that

#

that's stupid

scenic bough
#

I died to a one shot thing that spawned on my feet

#

My friend died to auri lazer

fresh basalt
#

defo needs balance

scenic bough
#

I still don't understand how the spawning of the big floor spikes from false son work

#

Sometimes i just

#

Get one spawned on me

#

And i die

#

Without any clue what i could've done to avoid it

fresh basalt
#

it's not choreographed well

#

none of his attacks are really choreographed well tbh

elfin zinc
#

true

#

i'm still very frustrated he's not melee based

#

i know his teleport to slam attack is a real thing

#

but he doesnt have wide swing attacks

#

or just more melee attacks in general

#

which was what i expected

#

instead of being a agressive boss that rushes you down it just spawns 4 bitch pillars and lasers you to death

scenic bough
#

Speaking of

#

What do the golden geodes even do

fresh basalt
#

wdym golden geodes

scenic bough
#

The phase 3 one i know i need to break to get to play the game again

fresh basalt
#

oh those right

scenic bough
#

But the whole rest of the time they kinda do nothing

fresh basalt
#

immunity to the lightning, iirc. possibly something else? im pretty sure someone here said what they do

#

but i forgot already

scenic bough
#

I stopped trying to go for them after i died because one refused to be interacted with, leading me to try again and dying

fresh basalt
#

im gonna go install aerolt and fuck around with him

scenic bough
#

What's aerolt?

fresh basalt
#

cheat mod

scenic bough
#

Ah right
If you learn anything interesting i'm interested to hear it

fresh basalt
elfin zinc
#

the lightning is so ass

fresh basalt
#

mmhm

#

also, other bug i noticed

#

survivor loadouts no longer save properly

elfin zinc
#

the actually just exploded the entire game :kekk

fresh basalt
#

k so first thing i'm noticing

#

he attacks really fast

#

like, there's maybe 2-3 seconds between attacks

#

some of the regular attacks are choreographed okay, but generally it feels too fast

#

most of the animations feel really half baked

#

like the downward club swing just kindof stops and goes back up

#

there's no Slam

#

the pillars are WAY too visually busy and there's too many of them. seeing the boss is extremely difficult

#

the only coreograph on the pillars is a single small explosion just before they show up

#

should be more like the mithrix pizza imo. big warning area before they pop up as damage

#

idk if it's a bug, but the club slam also dosen't have a sound? the animation probably wouldn't feel as janky if the slam had auditory feedback

#

but it just, dosen't

#

or it's way too quiet

#

(i have sfx all the way up)

#

that was just phase one. phase two

#

first thing i notice, laser does FAR too much damage.

#

there's not enough cover in the arena, and the tick is too fast

#

that's also like, it? that's the attack variety

#

it's phase one but he has a laser and some of the arena is gone

#

phase 3 the laser does even more damage, what the fuck

#

there's more lightning too, which is just

#

why

#

oh he just has an attack that disables all your skills okay cool

#

that's balanced (sarcastic)

#

for 400 seconds???

#

that has to be a bug

#

not a very good boss, tbh

#

it has potential? like, maybe

#

but it's just not good right now

#

especially with the Death Laser™️

#

wanted to test twisted elites but couldn't find a way to just Spawn Them

#

so i'll do that another time

elfin zinc
#

@fresh basalt LMFAAAAAO FRAMERATE FUCKS UP VOID IMPLOSIONS

#

(warning shining lights)

fresh basalt
#

WHAT LMAO

elfin zinc
#

@misty marten

fresh basalt
#

that's terrible but also so fucking funny omg

elfin zinc
#

@scenic bough

#

this is hilarious

fresh basalt
#

also you can see my dump about the false son above

elfin zinc
#

lame ass boss

#

istg

fresh basalt
#

tbh im like. slightly appalled at how bad gearbox fucked up

#

they NEED to communicate with their players better

elfin zinc
#

mithrix is peak fiction and the rest of the bosses just suck ass

#

it's incredible

fresh basalt
#

all gearbox has officially said is "report bugs on discord" and "we're working on/looking into it" on twitter replies

#

no public statements, no discord announcements, nothing

elfin zinc
#

better than nothing

#

what else could they say?

fresh basalt
#

eh, true

#

idk. i feel like something aknowledging that yes, it's buggy, we're working on it, that's more visible than just twitter replies, would be good

#

they fixed pricing, obviously, because Money™️ but that's all they've done announcments about

elfin zinc
#

they could've just let it as is

#

but they didn't

fresh basalt
#

this is true

elfin zinc
#

the dlc was stupidly expensive for me

#

now it's the same price as sotv

fresh basalt
#

well that's good at least

elfin zinc
#

they even asked for ppl that bought the game overpriced to refund and buy again

#

not gonna lie gearbox seems genuine and passionate about the game

#

it was just rushed tremendously

#

gearbox as in the dev team working on the game

#

not like gearbox which is like evil and fucked up

fresh basalt
#

actually that checks out

elfin zinc
#

gearbox probably fucked over the devteam with time restraints

fresh basalt
#

also someone in the RoR discord posted this in the bug report forum

#

so apparently they really did just royally fuck up deltatime

fresh basalt
elfin zinc
#

seeker is polished

#

chef is also polished

#

then false son is a fart

#

they were running outta time with false son and they just reused the model and animations

#

they're the same between the boss and character

fresh basalt
#

ah yeah

#

-# sorry if i'm being uh, stupid. i should realistically get some sleep.

elfin zinc
elfin zinc
#

it's fun talking with ya

fresh basalt
#

digging through more posts in the ror discord and they are, in fact, doing things

#

i find it mildly amusing people are literally going into the game's code to figure out what's causing the bugs

elfin zinc
#

lol

fresh basalt
#

oh god the replies rivhorror

# elfin zinc lol

the only items id really consider good or average are chronic expansion, sale star, runic lens, and free run win

elfin zinc
#

do you think it would be epic if you could end your run at the false son on eclipse?

inner gull
#

ig chance doll is okish

inner gull
#

a big part of eclipse is that mithrix is required

elfin zinc
#

i sea

#

it's kinda useless to go after false son on eclipse then

#

i guess that's fine

inner gull
#

you get some decentish loot

#

not that it matters since it replaces stage 4

scenic bough
#

Holy shit mithrix found the not-pocket-ICBM

elfin zinc
#

how does that even happen

marsh grail
#

LMAO

#

I looked at comments and apparently it's something with razor wires

elfin zinc
#

no way they fucked that up, right?

marsh grail
#

oh then i have no idea

#

mithrix just used domain expansion

#

new update phase 4

inner gull
#

hey ror thread would you like 4000 characters of my thoughts on the dlc

fresh basalt
#

yeah

inner gull
#

to give my thoughts on the dlc (ignoring the patch rn), ||i think the stages and enemies (excluding false son) are overall nice. some of the enemies have some jank (what doesnt rn) but theyre overall good. i dont like how the path stages (excluding prime meridian) are completely separate from the normal stages since theyre so disconnected and make path runs much more boring.||
||false son as a fight is incredibly strange and idk if the laser tracking is intentional or not.||
||on the other hand, the items and survivors are not in a good spot. first off the item printing red is far too strong. of the other items that exist, id say chronic expansion, sale star, and runic lens are in a good place (runic lens might also be too strong if its total damage but who knows). i think prayer beads, while on the weaker side, are fine and a good item to have as a weak item in the pool since theyre still helpful and an interesting design. warped echo (no osp and it delays shield, slug, and opal) and unstable transmitter (disorienting and can throw you into even worse situations) are detrimental. knockback fin also does nothing or throws off your aim so its also somewhat detrimental. all the other items are just meh at best (or in the case of luminous shot, only some what good on the false son). war bonds gets a shout out as the new worst red though. effectively, this dlc has just diluted the item pool with an unhealthy amount of basically delayed scrap and made it noticeably harder to get mobility and feathers. i think a lot of these items are built off the philosophy of "primarily heal off damage instead of avoiding it all together," which is just flawed and makes them rarely useful.||

#

||survivors are just bleh in so many ways. seeker reminds me of rex in a lot of ways, with a kit with an emphasis on healing and barriers. unlike rex though, shes built very heavily around support while rex is using the healing to deal damage. i think she suffers pretty heavily from the healing philosophy i mentioned above being flawed (rex actually benefits from the "avoid damage instead of needing to heal it off" as it means youre more free to spam self damage skills). shes in an awkward spot imo since it feels like shes built all around support and survivability which doesnt do much outside of multiplayer. overall a decent addition, but i did wish more of her power wasnt based in healing/barriers.||
||chef is all over the place. their passives healing pickup feels so much more jank than monster tooth in terms of grabbing it. their primary is also very strange and idk if its bad or if it takes adjustment so i wont say more about it. their secondary is just a worse flamethrower which is insane and it prevents attacks for ~1.5s afterwards. their utility is pretty average nothing special but its neat. glaze is their actual good skill and its their main thing they have going for them, its just a pretty good damage special. idk much about their alt special but i doubt it changes what i said above.||
||false son is strange. i really like their concept and how health items impact them. his passive/secondary gimmick is very fun to play with and id say its the best piece of survivor design in the dlc. the primary charge attack is cool and its something that hasnt been explored before and its generally fun to play with. their utility is pretty standard but it works fine with everything in their kit. the specials are both very interesting, though i think the default charge beam has issues with not being able to be canceled and often not doing enough damage. alt special seems in a good spot. imo false son is fun and a good concept he just needs some polish.||

it's crazy how buggy mithrix's final phase is now

inner gull

not sure exactly why but thats what ive experienced and heard/seen from others

LOL

marsh grail
#

What are you meant to do when ||False Son disables your abilities||

#

That was my first time fighting them and it completely caught me off guard and I died :(

fresh basalt
elfin zinc
#

imo that sucks

#

since it's very unclear on what you should do

#

and tbh just a lame attack in general, i think i'm really starting to dislike false son's fight

marsh grail
#

Oooh that's what they're for

elfin zinc
fair bramble
#

Why didn't they add it to the "objectives" tab for info monkconfused that's so frustating

marsh grail
#

They really should I would have never figured it out if arth didn't tell me lol

#

As far as I was concerned I thought the geodes were just there to give barrier like the climb up

elfin zinc
#

at least the music's good sainthappy

marsh grail
#

Yeah the soundtrack is so fire

#

I love the prime meridian one

#

Sounds so so good

#

As you're climbing up ugh it's amazing

elfin zinc
#

this could be so peak

#

please fix the game i swear

marsh grail
#

Gearbox don't give up on us 🙏

#

Don't pull a borderlands

elfin zinc
#

pleeeeeeeeeeeaseeeee this dlc could be so good CRIES

dusky wing
#

I got the new new character.... ||very slow and weird to play, don't know how to feel about it||

elfin zinc
#

clunky

#

wacky, even

dusky wing
#

100% jank

#

Seriously though they need to make them more smooth, it feels like playing a loader without the grappling hook

elfin zinc
#

they need to like fix everything in the dlc

dusky wing
#

Yeah true

#

That ||boss fight especially, I don't understand anything that happens last 2nd phase, I only won cause of friendship (I had 40 drones and drone parts)||

#

So much going on and I usually get insta killed anyway

#

Even after cheesing the void area for loot

#

Other than that I think the dlc was pretty fun

mithrix with ping 😔

fair bramble
#

I didn't get the chance to open ror2 yet but do the bugs only affect SoS dlc?

elfin zinc
#

no

elfin zinc
#

og game got a patch

#

that added all the bugs

fair bramble
#

WHAT hunterslam

#

I'm in shambles

misty marten
#

"who wants free things??"

  • some gearbox guy at a keynote thing today
#

free bugs

elfin zinc
#

i don't even have the dlc i'm in shambles too

misty marten
#

free bugs galore

fair bramble
#

I'll prob wait for a bug patch

elfin zinc
#

also the game got slightly uglier

#

i can notice

#

since console graphics got ported

#

stuff looks blurry

#

and the healthbar got a billion times worse

fair bramble
#

Oh, i thought it was just youtube being youtube when i saw SoS footage

fresh basalt
#

fuckin bullshit.

#

ppl are modding the game to fix shit

fair bramble
#

Is it possible to downpatch?

fresh basalt
#

yes

#

theres a tool for it on thunderstore i think

Hey everyone, Over the past few days we’ve been reviewing feedback surrounding the launch of Risk of Rain 2: Seekers of the Storm. Thank you as always to the incredible community of players who have come out to support us and provide insights which are helping to resolve some unexpected issues with the deployment of the latest DLC. We’re working...

solemn fossil
#

woooo slugcheer

inner gull
#

theyre not actually changing the dlc content at all with this so its still flawed in that aspect

#

also theyre not reverting the physics back to the previous version it seems

marsh grail
#

oh my god

#

its peak

#

It's all peak

solemn fossil
#

Im just happy the game will be back to normal againhunterglee

marsh grail
#

I don't care about the DLC content as much my frustration laid in the fact that the base game was suffering

#

The DLC can be dogwater I just want the experience to feel like it did before, I'm not excusing them for being lazy with it

#

I'm just saying that I'm glad they're taking initiative on the fundamentals of the game

#

Even though they should have not existed as bugs in the first place but what can you do

inner gull
#

if they dont revert physics its going to still feel very different

marsh grail
#

They said they would unless I misread

inner gull
#

theyre fixing the physics being different because of fps

#

theyre not reverting physics to the previous versions

marsh grail
#

That's probably why they feel weird no?

solemn fossil
#

Hopefully after they address the most pressing issues, they return to the dlc and balance it out a bit saintsmirk

inner gull
#

nope

marsh grail
#

I haven't noticed anything odd tbh

#

I don't think I play enough to feel it

inner gull
#

two very apparent consequences of it are pot rolling being different (not necessarily better or worse) and host skipping no longer working

marsh grail
#

Was host skip patch intentional?

inner gull
#

the physics change was almost certaintly

#

its a result of them trying to more closely unify console and pc

marsh grail
#

So it's a patch by proxy is what you mean

inner gull
#

yeah

marsh grail
#

I see

inner gull
#

and a lot of things just feel slightly different and worse

solemn fossil
harsh glen
marsh grail
#

Fixing the major bugs is a (mandatory) start so I'm glad that's in the works

solemn fossil
#

Has anyone tried doing the merc jump since update? Is that still a thing monkcurious

harsh glen
marsh grail
#

Hope they listen to the community more

inner gull
solemn fossil
#

saintpensive yes, but if they really care about the community they could still change it

#

Btw whats host skip monkcurious

inner gull
#

it was a really useful tech and it made non pillar skip equipments a lot more useful

#

this is a mult exclusive variant iirc but every survivor besides arti can do some version of it

solemn fossil
#

But thats really neat, I didn't that was possible nightpopcorn

misty marten
#

how it feels to downpatch your game

elfin zinc
#

a peak game

misty marten
#

finally the Devotion Update i can now play as the Prisoner holy slop

#

it genuinely feels and looks SO much better and im sure its not placebo

elfin zinc
#

imagine they fucked the codebase with the devotion

misty marten
#

lmaoo

elfin zinc
#

since it doesnt have new wacky psychics and no forced anti aliasing

#

it feels, and looks better, objectively

misty marten
#

the player character feels like you used a sharpener mod when coming from dlc

#

btw

#

we were playing with a nerfed acrid yesterday

#

the update broke caustic leap

#

so you cant hit midair

#

literally taking a load of his rabged capabilities

elfin zinc
#

hell NAW

#

though i'm sure our death to mithrix was due to ping

#

and not gearbox fault

misty marten
#

yea that one cant be blamed on gearbox

#

SADLY

elfin zinc
#

though

#

if we got to pizza

#

it would be very bad

#

even at 60 fps pizza is bugged out i found that out on my bandit run i did earlier

#

it plays the sound first then the attack visual happens

#

and it stutters and is laggy as shit

#

an attack that you need the utmost precision and positioning to not die instantly (it deals an uninronic 40 billion damage) being fucked and unclear with it's visual and audio cues is terrible

misty marten
#

atleast its all gonna be gone after you downpatch

#

genuinely ur not missing out on much even if u have the dlc because anything remotely good excluding skins is locked to the path of the colossus

elfin zinc
#

no dmg and speed items is insane in the first place

#

am i the only one that rewatches that one clip we got of us dying instantly a lot

#

it's so fucking funny for me for no reason

misty marten

marsh grail
elfin zinc
#

other than that one red item that breaks the game

marsh grail
#

no movement items is what bothers me

elfin zinc
#

same

marsh grail
#

😔

elfin zinc
#

they could just

#

change knockback fin to

#

speed fin

#

lmao

#

and it would work awesomely

#

having a fin for a speed item really fits for some reason

marsh grail
#

we got sots bug tierlist before gta6 😭

misty marten
#

am i the only one who gets kinda peeved when someone argues that seeker isnt bad

#

like they are an awesome concept and would be probably one of my favourites after a buff

#

fact is that their damage is nowhere near up to par and its gonna stay that way if people keep coping about her current viability slagony

#

probably the same for the other two but i cant speak on them

marsh grail
#

sorry but seeker sucks

#

its a worse arti

#

the range is crippling, the attacks are lackluster at best, the only good things I find about their kit are the stuns and the heals

#

They're very self sustaining but very weak

#

The alt ability just sucks too

misty marten
#

nail on the head

marsh grail
#

Why would you want to give up your band proc, heal and stun

#

Also I feel like her abilities have endlag

#

Sometimes I'll have to spam the Ult before she finally goes into meditation

#

Because it just won't register it at all

misty marten
#

yea!!!

marsh grail
#

It's really crippling in a game about precision and reacting fast lmao

misty marten
#

i saw a video online arguing her viability because "you can become invincible and build infinite damage with a mix of planula and repulsion plate" my brother that is not viability that is called a gamebreak

marsh grail
#

The only positive thing I can say about her is she can pillar skip with her kit

#

That's all she'll ever have going for her for me

#

And give her M1 more range for the love of god

#

Make it arti range idc it's like bruh

#

mm i got brownies

misty marten
#

i LOVE arti

elfin zinc
#

wow that is so crazy and awesome

#

meanwhile bandit with desperado with LITERALLY infinite damage

misty marten
#

them describing a "huge damage for enemies caught in the radius" in the trailer is almost insulting

#

arth our run was dying from stage one and that shrine of order just ended it before seeker's utterly terrible skills could

elfin zinc
#

it's like telling your mom you pissed the bed

#

"arth... 17 war banners.."

misty marten
#

literally i picked it up thinking woah it sends enemies into the air what absolute shite

#

and i went into my inventory and realised it was so much worse

#

speaking of this misconception i feel like not only are the new items terrible but so are the descriptions??

i'm not that happy about the gamebreaking bug rn atm

thick current
#

which gamebreaking bug?

vernal pond
#

the FPS thing since i kinda play characters like Merc sloggers

marsh grail
#

I found a bug with Luminous Shot

#

I don't know if it's survivor specific (I'm playing Acrid) but clicking the primary right as your secondary spit lands activates the damage buff on that instead

#

It doesn't have to be frame perfect at all

#

So long as you attack with the primary before the secondary lands it activates it

#

Come to think of it it might only work on non-hitscan characters since you do need to do the input before the attack lands

#

But it's crazy free damage

#

It also works on the pandemic

elfin zinc
#

and taketwo is like the worst company to ever exist

#

i think

#

they're so ass

elfin zinc
#

aint it

#

the team working on the dlc is very small, a lot of people were laid off

#

don't wanna be negative but there's a chance that it's so over

#

taketwo is known to be trigger happy if they perceive the dlc as a failure they could very well just nuke the entire thing like they've did many times before

vernal rover
#

I have been suffering so much what the hell is happening with seekers of the storm

#

I am refunding this now because I cannot

#

My main acrid just doesn't get to work now so guess I'll need to main a new character

#

But the thing is that won't fix anything cause

vernal rover
#

Ik but like

#

My run ended cause mithrix decided he didn't feel like properly taking damage anymore

elfin zinc
#

NOOOOO

solemn fossil
#

Doesn't that double the dmg you take sluggrimace

#

Or is it the other one articry

elfin zinc
#

if mithrix gets warped echo phase 4 its over

vernal rover
elfin zinc
#

his hitbox is removed

vernal rover
#

Also

#

Has anyone else just like

elfin zinc
#

it's so funny though

#

instead of dealing one halved damage, then the rest

vernal rover
#

Only been able to select commando until restarting steam?

elfin zinc
#

it deals full damage

#

then full damage later!

#

lol

vernal rover
solemn fossil
elfin zinc
#

although to be able to play the game as it was

#

you need to downpatch

#

they gave a patch to the og game that added all the bugs

#

the dlc just adds the content

#

the bugs are all in the patch

vernal rover
#

It didn't happen when the game originally launched slugimjust

elfin zinc
#

that's why the vanilla game is getting tanked reviews

solemn fossil
#

Idk, ik that i got the 3rd mando skin upon opening the game hunterrip didn't even have to work for it monkdesperation

elfin zinc
#

rip overwhelming positive

vernal rover
#

Survivors had some glitches but even then it was never game breaking like these

#

I feel like every other run I have found a new way for the game to implode on itself

#

My friend got their data reset trying to play with their cousin also, 200+ hours gone down the drain

elfin zinc
#

warning flashing lights

vernal rover
elfin zinc
#

forever

#

your best bet at the moment is downpatching the game and playing it that way

vernal rover
#

Which confuses me

elfin zinc
#

that's why QA didn't get it

#

it only works on older saves

#

around 40 hours

vernal rover
#

The bugs were our payment to bring chef home, was it worth it

elfin zinc
#

even chef is junky

#

unfortunately

vernal rover
#

Yeah, it's so joever articry

safe shoal
elfin zinc
#

we really just have commando ngl

safe shoal
#

the fact we only got a progress report after a week is crazy

#

fixing everything wont happen overnight for obvious reasons but there absolutely should have been a hotfix for the critical stuff by this point

elfin zinc
#

the team working on the game is super small

#

a lot of people got laid off

#

so

#

:>

safe shoal
#

that is why it is crazy

#

at least its not kerbal space tier yet

#

there is promise of a patch

elfin zinc
elfin zinc
#

hopoo games oficially disbanded and shut down guys 😔

#

no more hopoo games

#

unfortunately, no more hopoo games

#

they're working at valve now

#

which is bittersweet, they seem happy for the opportunity to be working at valve, however, it's so sad to see hopoo games go

ancient goblet
#

Wait hopoo works at valve now rivflabbergasted

fresh basalt
#

i can't tell if thats a joke or not

thick current
#

it's not

fresh basalt
#

what

#

huh

thick current
#

hopoo feather renamed to gearbox feather

vernal pond
#

If they do rename those items like ben's raincoat, ghor's tome and a few others i will riot

#

Hopoo >>>> Gearbox Feather

misty marten
#

the mithrix warped echo bug is INTENTIONAL because its a feature put in to punish you for taking such a LAME item

#

goodbye hopoo game ):

fair bramble

elfin zinc

but it does make the game look worse

elfin zinc

too

#

it's just that it's sad to see the company as a whole go

#

even though it's a positive change fo rthem

scenic bough
thick current
#

anti aliasing smooths edges by blending pixela

sometimes it can make things look blurry, especially if the game isn't made with it in mind

Just what RoR2 needs

vernal pond
#

Hmmmmm i have unlocked the lemurian army artifact... I wonder if i should go for a fun run or play modded, i just need to get my modded fix monksilly

fair bramble
#

I didn't check anything about the devs but are we already expecting a bug patch soon? monkcurious

solemn fossil
#

Uhh they said they are working on it, i didn't see at ETA though rivboowomp

dusky wing
fresh basalt
elfin zinc
#

not fucking pyrocynical

#

making a video about this

#

i swear

#

😭

vernal pond
#

Foekoe even made a video about ROR2's latest DLC since he liked both the main and Survivors of the Void...

And ooof foekoe wasn't happy about it

thick current
#

which isn't nearly as bad as TAA

fresh basalt
#

yeah

topaz quest
#

so whats the general feeling about the dlc here

elfin zinc
#

it's bad

#

the update and the dlc is pretty bad

vernal pond
#

Also buggy for both the DLC and the main game because of that

elfin zinc
#

only good things are the stages and music

#

this seems to be the general consensus of most people

topaz quest
#

there are a lot of dlc features i really like personally

elfin zinc
#

what do you like abt the dlc

topaz quest
#

i like most of the new items the fact i can end the game one stage quicker and seeker also the new skins are nice

#

i really like seeker

#

i also like thats is easier to revive your dead teammates

#

but i dont think it was enough for a dlc

elfin zinc
#

the characters are good concepts but they really need tweaks to be actually considered "good" to me

#

though i like the new options to revive people

#

that's really nice for multiplayer

#

though the new items suck complete ass

#

i don't have anything positive to say about them, at all

#

with the sole exception being sale star and that's it

vernal pond
#

I would take that blue star and few reds (the one that makes items drop from elites and bosses and that boomerang) and the rest of the items go into the trash

vernal pond
#

maybe except the golem doll and that defibrator

topaz quest
#

yeah im a big fan of those

elfin zinc
#

also the new skins are fire

#

all of them

topaz quest
#

i have to agree with that

#

but the dlc compared to survivors of the void is a let down

vernal pond
#

Right now all the things about the update and DLC made me look around talk about how to tweak the items

heck i swear those antlers could've been a red and heavily buffed, you're telling me that it's a white rarity? monksilly

elfin zinc
#

big time

topaz quest
#

also gilded enemies have wayy to high of a spawn rate

topaz quest
elfin zinc
#

they're supposed to be a post loop elite based on the code lmao

topaz quest
#

wtf

elfin zinc
#

ever added

#

it's actually purely useless

topaz quest
#

yeah i just call them white scrap

#

its like razor wire but evil

elfin zinc
#

a idea winter had was to make the antlers a speed item, make the antlers give you shield and when that shield is active give you a speed boost similar to goat hoof

vernal pond
#

Oh gearfart thanks for making me think those gold elites were ment to show up monklaugh

elfin zinc
#

that's just amazing

#

like wtf

solemn fossil
elfin zinc
#

just actual peak item concept

topaz quest
vernal pond
#

I always scrap shield gens, i don't like em since it easily makes you get one shotted from i heard

elfin zinc
#

i mean it's okay to have weak scrappable items

#

but when every item is a weak scrappable item that's just insane

#

except sale star and sonorous whispers

vernal pond
#

what i'm not okay is with the white item bloat which means i have so many to scrap and i don't feel like it does anything meaningful compared to watches, topaz and crowbars

elfin zinc
solemn fossil
topaz quest
elfin zinc
#

finding shit like energy drinks, hoofs and feathers is way harder now

#

that's terrible

#

especially since you need mobility so bad for mithrix

vernal pond
topaz quest
#

i havent done mithrix in a while

topaz quest
elfin zinc
#

it's lame

vernal pond
#

scrap material, infact i really blame gearfart for not doing anything and giving us bloat

topaz quest
#

i’ve only seen it be slightly useful of rex

#

and thats it

elfin zinc
#

rex

#

you don't even stay at 50% hp

topaz quest
#

true

solemn fossil
topaz quest
#

only 20% too

#

like not enough for sitting at half

solemn fossil
#

i kinda like its synergy with hellfire tincture, i think more low hp items would be neat but, its still kinda ehh

topaz quest
elfin zinc
#

why do so many items need you to take damage to activate

#

that's like

#

the lamest thing ever

topaz quest
#

yeah

elfin zinc
#

aren't you trying to avoid taking damage in the first place

#

especially in eclipse

topaz quest
#

éclipse players are so down

vernal pond
#

What i do know is that the items in SotS are clearly designed by people who have not played the game and it shows rivflabbergasted

elfin zinc
#

so true

#

!!

solemn fossil
elfin zinc
#

the art department cooked though you gotta give them that

elfin zinc
#

the effects when u take dmg arent even guaranteed

#

they're just chances

#

are you serious lol

#

knockback fin having a 7.5% chance to knock enemies back when you get hit is so insane

thick current
#

warped echo is so dumb

#

common item that fucks with your one shot protection

fresh basalt
#

sale stare isnt even useful to me 90% of the time because i play swarms/sacrifice

elfin zinc
#

even then 😔

inner gull
#

which is even worse

thick current
#

knockback fin will never be ror1 boxing glove

elfin zinc
#

true

fresh basalt
#

what is ror1 boxing glove

thick current
#

launches enemies in the air

elfin zinc
#

when u hit enemies they get knockback and get launched in the air

thick current
#

which is way more useful in a 2d game

elfin zinc
#

but ror1 and rorr are 2d

#

so it's way better

#

and they get stunned in the air for a lil bit

#

which is good crowd control

fresh basalt
#

i feel like it would be better if it

elfin zinc
fresh basalt
#

actually knocked back the enemies

elfin zinc
#

and macro items are always awesome

elfin zinc
#

please it's not that overpowered

inner gull
#

they way they made boxing glove not terrible is by making it also do damage

fresh basalt
#

that too yeah

thick current
#

the only upside knockback fin has is that i think it counts as a death mark debuff

fresh basalt
#

but like the similarity i draw is splat3 side order knockback color chips

#

which could arguably be worse, idk

solemn fossil
thick current
#

not even???? man that's grim

inner gull
#

you need around 10 on average to make an enemy take fall damage too

#

i think the consensus is that sale star is great, runic lens and chance doll are good, and chronic expansion is ok

#

everything else sucks or is detrimental

thick current
#

the ror1 clover legendary is good too

inner gull
#

its harmful to the game balance

#

its too strong

elfin zinc
#

right on te mark

inner gull
#

oh the equipment is just worse dios but i dont like it since i feel like they added too many revives

vernal pond
#

Warbonds is even worse than the Piggy Bank Saving from ROR1 ngl saintpensive

elfin zinc
#

warbonds is such an ass item

#

it's insane

inner gull
#

varies by survivor and run blah blah blah

thick current
#

war bonds is proof that at least some of the devs did not play very much of the game

inner gull
#

oh i forgot the lunar uh

#

it sucks since the level cap is 94

elfin zinc
#

istg

fresh basalt
#

and leveling up takes so fucking long lategame

elfin zinc
#

leveling past a certain point kinda becomes impossible without some insane coper grinding

#

since the formula to level up rises so exponentially

inner gull
#

the lunar makes it so hitting the cap is achievable iirc

vernal pond
#

the only thing i feel that's eh in both DLCs is two lunar items from each Stone Flux from SotV and Longstanding Solitude from Seekers
makes me go... Why..?

elfin zinc
#

i think the cooler lunar items are the heretic ones

#

good concept in general tbh

vernal pond
#

It seems i'm the only fan who likes Light Flux for having some build strats over Stone way more despite Light killing your attack speed and being bad for those who rely in attack speed, arti likes it for example slugsitt

😭

#

we need the moistcritikal video on ror2 and taketwo

marsh grail

half the video is him ranting about not being able to use his fat furry mods

#

all of the current videos cover the same topics its a copy paste fiesta

#

the major bugs ect

solemn fossil
#

Its a big game, i suppose these creators are trying to get views for it saintpensive

elfin zinc
#

there's not much to talk abt in the dlc

#

about the dlc mean

#

i just didn't expect creators outside of the risk of rain bubble would start to comment on it

#

if moistcritikal makes a video on this that'll actually be insane

moistcritikal ror2 video: Idk whats going on but look at this clip i found on twitter. Btw apparently the main developer didnt get paid for selling the game. But Idk i just saw it on twitter. i actually Dont know what Risk of rain 2 is. Idk. idk. it is wild tho gearbox completely ruined the game. But i actually dont know a lot about the situation. thats all guys bye

fresh basalt

i died :(

SAD!

fresh basalt

i think clover might affect equipment drop chance on sacrifice

theres so many of them monkdesperation

WAIT.

THOSE ARE ELITE ASPECTS.

oh yeah aspect drop chance is a little messed up so i hear?

oh i just looked at ur items nvm

dlc ending spoiler. incase anyone hasnt seen it

topaz quest
#

not like it matters though since they just crash your game on next stage

(it probably wasnt clover but idk what the HELL it was that was the buggiest fight to date)

fresh basalt

the mithrix zooming around the arena monkwail

marsh grail
#

monkwail horrible

marsh grail
thick current
#

true

elfin zinc
# marsh grail

mae do you also get really nervous fighting mithrix? lmao

#

i had a really good run that i scrapped a ton early and popped off in stage 5 printers the run felt deserved cause i did a lot of macro

#

then from a no damage mithrix fight i got hit by a pizza that dropped my health to 50 or something and i had to take a break, i still won, but that shook me to the core monkwail

#

geez

#

my apologies for the random ass question though

marsh grail
#

yeah mithrix is scary af one wrong move and my entire healthbar in move

#

his moveset constantly closes gaps and applies pressure almost nonstop

#

its terrifying

elfin zinc
#

because you know sooo bad

#

if you get hit you die

#

because pizza just deals billions of damage

#

i always dodge it so nervously

thick current
#

god bless one shot protection

elfin zinc
#

it just kills you

thick current
#

you know
that makes a lot of sense in hindsight

elfin zinc
#

oneshot protection doesn't work on mithrix

#

i only lived because of opal

#

and it still got me to such low health

#

the sound design on mithrix's attacks also help this feeling

#

his attacks feel HEAVY as shit and they WILL one-shot you, this is what it feels based on the sound alone

thick current
#

pizza audio being desynced is funny

elfin zinc
#

fr

solemn fossil
#

Whats worse is even if you survive the first hit it slows you so you cant run from the rest rivsob

elfin zinc
#

killing mithrix gets me more on edge than playing five nights at freddy's or something

#

i swear to god

solemn fossil
#

Fr monklaugh

#

Lately I've been playing alot of arti so I'm out of practice against mithrix so its even worse rivsob

fresh basalt
#

TRUE

#

mithrix is so fuckin scary

solemn fossil
#

-# i do the silly 2 purity, a light flux (?) and a backup mag to give my freeze spear no cooldown and stun lock mithrix sainthehe Doesn't do alot of dmg but thats where my merc pal takes the lead monkdevious

marsh grail
#

scorch wurms have way too much health

#

id rather you spawn 3 magma worms than those

thick current
#

woe
gilded scorch wurm upon thee

marsh grail
#

itd feel the same

inner gull
#

some of his attacks (mostly in phase 3 with shockwaves and the like) ignore this though because of being multi hits

inner gull
# inner gull

to amend this i would move chance doll down a tier and boomerang up a tier

#

also i dont seed of life why is a revive that easily accessible

elfin zinc
#

although you do have more experience than me so

#

i gotta look more into oneshot protection mechanics

elfin zinc
#

i think only dio and pluripotent larva really

inner gull
#

just dios and sotv only added larva

#

and even then larva can be very punishing on death if you lose your bands, crit, or boss items

elfin zinc
#

yep

marsh grail
inner gull
#

mult is just really good in general

#

also one of the more mobile characters surprisingly

elfin zinc
#

mult is really good

if i hadn't hit phase 4 skip i would have died

elfin zinc
elfin zinc
#

even in normal runs if you get hit my mithrix's spikes during phase 4 you die

the strategy in phase 4 is to not get hit at all

accidentally becomes god

#

legit achieved immortality how did i do this?? monkwail

inner gull
elfin zinc
#

i'm guessing it will go away next stage?

inner gull
#

if you have safer spaces on cooldown when the voidtouched buff from wultures expires it causes it to instantly refresh

#

it will yeah

elfin zinc
#

omg thank you i was just so fucking confused

inner gull

you need to cause an inventory change check apparently at some point to trigger it

vernal pond
#

i also see they using CHEF in all caps instead of "Chef" just like MUL-T and REX in the patch notes

#

i still wish they kinda changed the wording from 'enemies' to 'customers' when looking at CHEF's skills tho

elfin zinc
#

inch resting

#

We got patch
And confirmation that there's plans for more gameplay changes and fixes

#

Very very nice

fair bramble
#

slugpraise yipee! what annoying/game breaking bugs are left after the patch from what we can remember?

scenic bough
#

There's a couple in these notes like False Son's downslam being weird, that are mentioned but stated to be adressed later

#

But honestly i feel like all the extremely major stuff is gone now

#

I hope

#

I guess people playing in the upcoming days will be able to say if something big slipped by, or if something new came in

#

Or if one of the fixes failed

fair bramble
scenic bough
#

To my understanding the more egregious ones were all the FPS things (too many shenenigans from this to count), immortal mithrix, and the damage feedback + healthbar being broken

#

All this is listed as fixed, so let's hope it worked

vernal pond
#

For now i should not touch ROR2 until hearing some of the player voices if the bugs have been ironed out...

Rn i'm also keeping an eye in the ROR2 modding server if they really fixed the code and took notes from them about the FPS thing

solemn fossil
#

Ror2 patch slugcheer

#

And they said they are gonna be working on sots to make it better slugaww

scenic bough
#

My biggest hope for gameplay changes I think would be the deathrays and changing the items that do effectively nothing

elfin zinc
#

it annoys me that the new achievements don't follow the base game's format

#

every challenge in the game completed = steam achievement

#

there's like 10 new challenges in the game but only 3 are steam achievements

#

LAME!!!!!!!!!!

#

offtopic but i love fighting mithrix as mul-t

so much fun

what

show

solemn fossil

Its not much

#

But one sec its kinda hard for to record it

inner gull
#

it isnt trimping with roll or long jumping with slide right

solemn fossil
#

Trimping?

inner gull
#

its where you launch yourself off a slope

solemn fossil
#

Its like you press jump and immediately after roll and it sends you higher into the air slugaww

inner gull
#

might be a trimping variation then let me mess with it

#

oh it isnt thats pretty neat

solemn fossil
inner gull
#

this is nice anything to make roll slightly better

solemn fossil
#

Ya, im all in favor of roll buffs

elfin zinc
#

that's cool movement tech but this feels like a creepypasta recording of a haunted ror2 copy

#

and this is like commando's spirit moving on it's own

#

that's pretty cool though jokes aside! slugWOH

i hope that the bad skills get a buff/rework sometime
