[Finished]110 hours in and I will eat my way through

[rapid cobalt]

oh perfect, there is also a red lizard in the surroundings

there wasn't any last time I came to the underground

WAIT

Is it the same thing as the red spider when you kill a normal spider

Do red lizard spawn after a number of cycles after killing light brown lizards?

[rapid cobalt]

OKAY

I killed and eated a red centipede

But I got killed by a light brown lizard so it did not save the progress of the food mission

But I saw that it was the last item in the list

Okay, I was able to do it again

now let's rest in a shelter

[ocean stratus]

probably the best sleep of gourmands life after eating that big thing

[rapid cobalt]

got called when getting in to a shelter and the pop up got me killed by a black lizard

trying to do it again again

a centipede snatched me and got me in to it's shelter

did not know that could happen

[rapid cobalt]

just killed and eated a red lizard before getting the red centipede and saving, my god

[ocean stratus]

theres a rain world server challenge for this 🥹

[rapid cobalt]

right now with the corpse of a red centipede but softlocked by this other centipede since I do not have a spear

[rapid cobalt]

oh daam

well I will have to re do it with proff eventually

I was able to get myself out but now I need to get through here and I am so so nervous

This reminds me to how I felt when finishing hunter

my god, this place is extremely more difficult than when I came here early in this character

waiting out the rain because a red lizard outside of my screen

OMG

Finally made it

I was hoping for a cute art screen when I completed the food mission

whaaaat

white fish that propels itself with water

that is a first for me

[mint heath]

I am very, very, late, but if this is still a thing I might wish to join too, if @rapid cobalt is not already ahead of me that is.

[rapid cobalt]

yeaaaah

I just send you the invite

everyone is welcome (until we reach the 10 member limit)

[ocean stratus]

it's a vanilla challenge anyway so don't worry

..forgot to turn ping off

[rapid cobalt]

oooh, there are vanilla/downpour/the watcher challenges?

interesting

[ocean stratus]

well watcher ones haven't been released yet but yes!!

so you could definitely try vanilla rwsc at some point without worrying about getting majorly spoiled

[mint heath]

I thought this was in response to the message directly above it

[rapid cobalt]

nice

I will do

But donwpour has me so hooked that I can not think about the rwsc challenges

I haven't even seen the challenges inside the game

[ocean stratus]

downpour is very good yeah

rwsc will always be there anyway

[rapid cobalt]

let's cross this, see a few seconds and go to sleep

it is 02:10 am rn

Sunken pier?

now that I think about it, left of farm arrays is the direction that hunter came from

So if there is any lore about the iterator that took care of hunter it would be huge (RSC or something like that?)

wow, light in this videogame???

mooooooon?????

what are you doing here???

this is crazy

[mint heath]

||I believe there's a way you can make them change directions etc.|| don't think this is a spoiler but just in case

[rapid cobalt]

hummmm

I am so curious

But I will wait until someone that is more up to date with the bare knowledge that I have in this gane

wow, what is thiiiiis

uuuh, pretty dinamic flowers

interesting that there are scav sticks with lanterns around here

what a butiful tropical background

[mint heath]

[rapid cobalt]

died because I missed some platform and now 5 pebbles is around

already at the same place

going up and always scared of a white lizard waiting on the edge of the next screen

[ocean stratus]

perfect place for a white lizard

[rapid cobalt]

hi rattuse

[rapid cobalt]

do you think I can read this?

cool scav graffiti

okay, gourmand did not grab a pole and I fell to my death

I am going to sleep

outer expanse goes hard

[mint heath]

good night

[ocean stratus]

this was my rw background for so long

it's so pretty

[mint heath]

I wish there was an option to randomize the background every time

if a mod like that doesn't exist yet I might try my hand on modding

[leaden moon]

good job on finding another new region!!!

[leaden moon]

i think this is fine, but when you're unsure you should probably ask in https://discord.com/channels/291184728944410624/1270823904247546017 first (thread for first playthroughs discussion, beware of all downpour spoilers!)

[mint heath]

ok, in that case I'll just avoid saying anything the next time because I haven't finished downpour myself yet (I have finsihed gourmand though), thanks for telling me

[leaden moon]

[rapid cobalt]

just read that, yeah I don’t know if I just fee more patient and now I notice but the dears have been extremely more responsive since donwnpor was enabled

[minor obsidian]

[ocean stratus]

it's specifically a remix setting you have to enable from what i know but it's typically not very intuitive information, so if you want to be told directly feel free to ask (if you're asking about changing their direction when on a deer)

[tender fox]

oh... i didnt now about the gc link can i join it?? (i know i havent been as active as of late theres just so many threads)

nice finding outer expanse

[tender fox]

i gotta get in before lthe limit is reach

[leaden moon]

check dms

[rapid cobalt]

just saw these interactions

I totally forgot you weren’t on the gc Tankium

[tender fox]

True....

[rapid cobalt]

You seem like one of the first natural picks from this threads

[rapid cobalt]

and don’t worry, I think is normal, I feel like a lot of activity happened since the watcher 1.5

And downpour threads look a lot more active than vanilla ones

so It is normal to interact less in a singular thread

[tender fox]

I see

Thx

[rapid cobalt]

What even is that???

rolled to the right and died inmediatly daam

and my shelter is so far back

but gosh, this regon is so beutifull

[ocean stratus]

that one area that claims so many new players 🥹

[rapid cobalt]

pretty purple pearl

I am sorry???

this is so extremely beutifull

and the music??

I am in love with this

I thought this leaves pushed me back in to the pipe

I was so confused

sometimes gourmand blends a little too good with this background

[rapid cobalt]

those are so cuuuuuute

omg, it was crazy difficult to find a shelter on this wild side

I am going to sleep

I'll try to theorize a bit about this region tomorrow

110 hours in and I will eat my way through

[charred maple]

i just saw that title change

[rapid cobalt]

original survivor playthrough (with some post-game exploration)

current gourmand playthrough

This downpour is giving me so much time it has already payed off with only one character

[rapid cobalt]

always updating it

From now one I will be updating a lot more since I have more free time

[rapid cobalt]

I am dying for something that get's me pumped like hunter did

[charred maple]

hunter peak

love hunty

[tender fox]

Any names for them??????

[mint heath]

ohhh, no, I slept through Light's playthrough , hopefully I'll be awake by the time Light continues today

[rapid cobalt]

the placeholder is going to be colorfull mice

[rapid cobalt]

Yeah, I played pretty late for me yesterday

[tender fox]

colourful mice indeed

[rapid cobalt]

Forgot to tell y’all. Lately I have been interested in handwritten notes and notebooks, so recently I bought a pocket notebook and one of the things I will be taking notes is my journey in Rain Worl, mainly to remember some stuff like objectives

I haven’t done much (yet) but I will show you the little information I had annotated

In the last one I have drawn a squematic timeline for downpour, so in each Character I can try to guess when it has happened

I would love to make it a bit more detailed, maybe with time I can make a horizontal one so we can add some events. From the time being the “only” important thing that we have been active in was the revival of looks to the moon so that is indicated

(The idea started because of some pearl-hunting that we will have to do eventually. It looks like there are a toooon of pearls so I wanted to have a place where I write the pearls that I haven’t read (color and localization), that way I can cross it out when read)

I should add a counter for achievements since I don’t know if I have gotten some of the hidden steam ones, so it could be useful to know what they entail

[leaden moon]

this is extremely cool, really glad you shared this

[rapid cobalt]

The Subterranean echo shoul be crossed out, I forgot lol

[ocean stratus]

your handwriting is very nice

i'm also glad you shared this too

i like the little images you drew for the pearl locations

[rapid cobalt]

Thanks I wanted to practice, I should have good handwriting if I am going to be a high school teacher

[rapid cobalt]

Yeah, I needed them, if I just put the region of the pearl I would forget pretty quickly where were them

[tender fox]

YOOOOOO

[rapid cobalt]

I just ran in to the left and found another broken karma gate but I did not find any shelter so I will have to try again

did not saw the grass in the middle

[rapid cobalt]

WOWOWOWOW

did I just saw another slugcat running away from a lizard?

omg, it better not be something else that is assuming the body of a slugcat

top left pipe to add more context

I need a shelter, this is taking me so long

OOOOH

the broken karma gate is a shelter

that is pretty clever

So the outer expanse has buildings and houses but I do not think I am in a iterator

But I am very close to the formation of clouds as the background sugest

Pretty interesting as I would think I am close to the earth, no to the top of iterators, since they are pretty tall

[rapid cobalt]

there is a similar spire to the one in shoreline

can this be a city on top of an iterator that was destroyed (similar to looks to the moon)

If that were true I wish this was the one that Hunter knows

What? so do the green blodsuckers eat your food?????

[rapid cobalt]

got past the big jump in two different ways, I was able to explore but just a bit

this region is extremely huge what the heck

[rapid cobalt]

maybe it was one of the white creatures that enable you to glide

it only appeared like 2 seconds and i was very worried about me dying

[rapid cobalt]

Let's continue for a bit, I do not think I am going to explore everything in the 30 minutes that I am going to play now so I have cleared my schedule for tomorrow.

I think we are close to the end (just because the Outer expanse is the last region in to top right visualizer (and that is giving ending vibes tbh) so we can play to the end of Gourmand's campaign tomorrow in a little marathon

I do not know if it will be just 2 hours or 6 but I will try and do everything

If it ends relatebly quickly I think we can start the next campaign directly, but i want to be alot more consistent with my playing sessions. And hope that changing the cadency will make it easier for all of you to follow the journey

[rapid cobalt]

WHAIT

IMG

my boy snh is looking at me

wow, I am so so so nervous

I am going to meet them in this campaign, are they going to be sad about hunter leaving?

I am so hyped now

did this rabit just go crazy and jumped so hard in to my head that it killed me?

what the heck?

we have all the observers with me

my game bugged and I can not respawn directly so I need to exit and enter in the campaign again, that is weird

I know yoy can not see it but there is a black slugcat here

And now I am extremely curious about the slugcats size

As in my previous thread I was always wondering about how survivor and monk seem to have an adult body but in the previous cutscenes they are small

Gourmand unlocked in a area called Journey's end

[rapid cobalt]

okay, let's start

white and yellow scav

shelter found in Journey's end

I love this things, they remind me of the first survivor cutscene

following my friends

little tiny slugcats

awww, you were collecting food for all of them

that is sooo cure

they are so rotund

whaaaaat

that was the end of gourmand?

I did not thought it was so close to the point I leaved it yesterday

[ocean stratus]

would you like this pinned or

a different image

[rapid cobalt]

this one is perfect

anyone has a recomendation for the following campaing?

We have artigicier, rivoulet and spearmaster

I was thinking about doing rivoulet but I am sure any of them will be cool

926 food

daam

Now I am going to have to get used to moving fast again lol

[rapid cobalt]

thnx rattuse

[ocean stratus]

congrats

[rapid cobalt]

Do you have any recomendation about the next slugcat?

[ocean stratus]

whoever you want!! i have heard about playing spearmaster before rivulet as a common recommendation people make

but it's really up to you

[rapid cobalt]

huh

Spearmaster seems very cool

[charred maple]

Spearmaster is peak scug

[charred maple]

Ouu food quest finished Good job!!

[ocean stratus]

you can even start more than one at once

[rapid cobalt]

true

I could try the first cycles from artificier and spearmaster to see how they play

[charred maple]

Artificer was very fun

Best scug imo

[rapid cobalt]

fair enough, I will try them both in the afternoon and we can make the choice

I think I will write everything of the first 5 or so cycles for both of them in this thread, and then we can create another one for the "main" one that I play

I am so hyped my god

[charred maple]

[rapid cobalt]

Also there is a lot to think about in the gourmand campaign

Like what exactly was the motivation? did they just want to recollect food? did they want some stories and the knowledge of the land to tell everyone?

We do not see slugcats in future campaigns (survivor/monk) in the main regions but gourmand has probably told them about it

Is it because they also told them how to get to the depths? does not make a lot of sense since all the other slugcats could not reach karma 10 without some echoes

Why did gourmand have the mark of communication from the beggining???

a lot of very strange questions

[charred maple]

lore

[rapid cobalt]

What about the nsh observer? where is the iterator? could I have reached it but I didn't? is it in a near region but I can not access it as gourmand?

maybe I have to go as hunter as the outer expanse has openes in all the other campaigns

man, I am sure I will end up crying in some of this campaigns

okay, let's get spearmaster started

(I am nervous lol)

there is already a lot in this

Were does spearmaster come from? I don't think it will be from outer expanse, a messenger? like hunter?

They eat with their needles? I want to see how that workd gameplay-wise

[ocean stratus]

sounds like a mosquito

[rapid cobalt]

no cutscene directly to geting out of a region?

orange obverser????

how many iterators are there in downpout?

[charred maple]

Enough

[ocean stratus]

a number

over 1

[rapid cobalt]

I can create spears?

[ocean stratus]

hope this helps

[rapid cobalt]

this spearmaster guy seems to have a lot of things

[rapid cobalt]

always so helpfull rattuse

[rapid cobalt]

More than what I was thinking it would definetly

it is connected to me :o

no food cost or anything?

this is going to be so much fun

[charred maple]

Nop

What would a spearmaster be if they havent mastered spears

[rapid cobalt]

two spears?

yoooo

[dreamy ginkgo]

spearnoobster

[charred maple]

SpearBADster

[rapid cobalt]

the dark purple in the pipes is so badass

omg, I am sooo quick

this is absurd, I can do whatever I want

omg, the enemies are going to be so much worse

oh? I can not eat fruits?

okay, my orange observer has told me that there is an iterator to the right (moon probably)

I can only eat if I stab enemies with my own spears

And apparently I do not have a stomach to storage pearls

is it orange because the obverser is orange or because the iterator is orange?

oh shit, the creature was called an overseer not an observer lol

[rapid cobalt]

hiiiii

first message

[dreamy ginkgo]

hi

[rapid cobalt]

oooh, we are in the tutorial from survivor/monk

what a cutie patotie

Do I need to kill all a vulture with spearmaster? that is said and done

The problem is I have gotten a pink/purple pearl in the tutorial zone so now I only have one hand

But I am sure we can make it to shoreline (clueless)

red lizards

suuuure

I haven't been able to kill one of those yet

if for whatever reason moon did not die by the explosion of the iterator structure, and instead was killed by a slugcat sent by another iterator... i will cry, I do not want to kill her

we can get the karma protection by spearing the karma flower, nice to know

what the heck is that

the map says the pearl is in the shelter but I can not find it

[dreamy ginkgo]

um thats a bug that happens sometimes

sleeping again in the shelter should fix it as it will be relocated in bounds

[ocean stratus]

hi como

oh roasted peanut role

[dreamy ginkgo]

not anymore

[rapid cobalt]

daam, the lizards are extremely more agrassive with spearmaster

[rapid cobalt]

I will try now, it has been a bit hard to sleep since everything want's me extremely dead

[ocean stratus]

they just want to give you a hug

[dreamy ginkgo]

average spearmaster experience

[rapid cobalt]

what the hell?

my god, I am obsesed with comunication arrays, and the antenas in garbage waster, every time I see one I want to know if something is up

[charred sparrow]

LIGHT DOING SPEARMASTER

YAY

[wise nest]

110 hours and I will spearmaster my way through

[LIVE BROADCAST] - PRIVATE Seven Red Suns, No Significant Harassment

`SRS: I can't stop dwelling over mistakes that I've made. I could just delete those memories of course, but that feels irresponsible.

NSH: Oh? What kind of mistakes are we talking about here?

SRS: I once gave someone some... sensitive information... the kind that could be dangerous if acted on.

SRS: Yet I should have known they weren't in the right state to use that information responsibly.

NSH: I take it you won't tell me the content, or to who.

SRS: No, I will not, out of respect.

NSH: Look, if you ever want to talk about it I can. We can share this little problem of yours. We were made to solve them after all!

NSH: You're worried they're going to get themselves hurt by messing it up?

SRS: They already have.`

[charred maple]

felpers dont delete, light just reached this section in vc

[rapid cobalt]

first cycle in aritificier and already died

Okay I started cyle 1 and lost like all my karma eating scavengers

Then it seems I only have one karma symbol unlocked so it does not even mater or I need to do something else to get karma

But yeah, the doble jump is pretty interesting mechanic, and I am excited to learn it

[charred maple]

[rapid cobalt]

okay so some scavengers have different symbols

[ocean stratus]

interesting

wow these thread reacts don't apply anymore

[rapid cobalt]

okay, so maybe the karma symbols in this case denote the jerarchy of the scavenger in a scavenger tribe

And my objective is to kill one with karma 10 or something

I found one with karma 5 in the starting area

I guess I will need them to go through karma gates

[rapid cobalt]

huh? oh the gourmand ones you mean?

I thought about creating a new thread for the next slugcat I will play so the reacts can stay for the moment

that or I can just keep playing on this one

[charred maple]

test runs for now

[rapid cobalt]

first karma gate

[ocean stratus]

yeah

[dreamy ginkgo]

wait where did all the reacts go

i cant see them

[tepid canyon]

Light starting new campaigns woohoo

congrats on beating Gourmand

[tepid canyon]

WRONG! watcher

[dreamy ginkgo]

sorry! hunter!

[rapid cobalt]

yeaaah, we need to them all of them

and when I mean all, I mean all of them

and after that we can start challenges

[charred maple]

i can agree with this

[charred maple]

WRONG! Haven't played

[tepid canyon]

explodes you

[charred maple]

[dreamy ginkgo]

yeah hunter best scug

[rapid cobalt]

okay, the decision has been made

After 3 succesfull cycles with both artificier and spearmaster

I will be playing spearmaster first

It was so long ago I don't remember everything I have to do when creating a new thread, I think I have to update the links at the beggining of this one and the survivor/monk/hunter one

so let's do this, and probably tomorrow I will do a bad ms paint of spearmaster

[wise nest]

The MS paint ones are the best ones

[rapid cobalt]

[Finished]110 hours in and I will eat my way through
