that didn't seem to be true while I was there, besides it's a big wave enemies, I dont remember if we had a mine deployer...

mint light
#

I took one through E1

normal lake
#

why though

mint light
#

Also pretty sure Zidane has done R1 and R2

mint light
north prism
#

yes but didn't complete R2E1

normal lake
#

bro every c tier level be harder than anything except r2d2 / e1

sharp owl
#

C2 PE and C3 PE are easily harder than D2

#

hey guyy

#

im just started

mint light
sharp owl
#

complete the training

#

what should I do next

mint light
#

Also they might be behind the charger doors

normal lake
#

and are competent enough to use a terminal

sharp owl
#

or just shoot the side zones like a chad

north prism
#

still you better have someone that knows what it's doing on r2D2

normal lake
#

r2d2 is just a memory level

#

once you know the map its miles easier

mint light
normal lake
#

r7d2 tho def a hard ass level at first but damn its a fun level

north prism
#

oh R7D2.... yeah didn't played that

#

I was on D1 I think.

normal lake
#

r7d2 is a heavy shooting level with some stealth in it

#

very fun level

#

not long either unlike most r7 levels

#

if the checkpoint was removed i think the level would still be balanced

mint light
#

checkpoints can be removed from the whole of R7 and it would still be balanced

#

There are no long levels in R7

normal lake
#

balanced for blind runs is more what im thinking

north prism
#

don't say that

normal lake
#

a level is significantly harder blind

#

checkpoints negate having to do a lot just to get back to where you where

mint light
sharp siren
sharp owl
#

ok im doing with bot

#

been waiting for player

#

but it seems no one wants to play that level

sharp siren
#

dont use matchmaking

normal lake
#

c3 and d2 are the only levels i think are really short enough for blind runs

#

of r7

#

other than early levels ofc

mint light
normal lake
#

b3 isnt bad either

north prism
#

blind run = stage newbie run?

normal lake
#

blind run means going in with no knowledge of what to bring or what is going to be in the map

north prism
#

confirmed

normal lake
#

a run is basically blind until you google the level or beat it / practically beat it

sharp siren
sharp owl
#

thanks

#

i am checking it now

normal lake
#

esspecially for players slower at stealth

mint light
#

or R2D2/R2D1

sharp siren
#

People need to learn that blind runs are only hard not because of the level but becausse the objective set that there is

normal lake
#

aint played it cus me and my group got bored with r2d2

#

map is so damn memory based we didnt feel like investing time into it at the time

sharp siren
#

but that just applies to people who play this game daily

normal lake
normal lake
#

djdna missing the whole point of what im saying

sharp siren
#

just objective wise

mint light
mint light
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

sharp siren
#

i deserve that kekw

normal lake
#

replaying levels they are faster but first run they are significantly slower

normal lake
#

and thats why there are checkpoints

mint light
#

That's why checkpoints are useless

vestal crystal
#

the duality of gtfo players....

mint light
normal lake
#

so you dont have to replay some massive chunk of a map just because some tiny thing you couldnt have prepared for

sharp siren
sharp owl
#

checkpoints can be useless if not used correctly

normal lake
#

remove checkpoints and suddenly now people start using guides for levels

mint light
normal lake
#

thats what makes games shitty

#

replaying content for no reason is not gameplay its boring as hell

mint light
normal lake
#

no people will swap to guides

#

replaying levels for shit out of your control is frustrating and shitty

#

its not good game design

sharp siren
#

yes lets separete the wheat from the chaff

#

the weak must die

mint light
sharp siren
#

nobody can play my game

mint light
normal lake
#

not knowing what is coming is out of your control

sharp siren
#

exept only the finest of toxic and tryhards

#

games like this are meant to be esport like

normal lake
#

unless you use guides

#

or have played the level before

mint light
sharp siren
#

I think you both are two extremes

normal lake
#

other games are predictable and there is a lot more freedom to adapt

#

im not extreme at all

#

i think less checkpoints is better

#

but outright removing them is shit game design

mint light
normal lake
#

this game you die your set back upwards of 2 hours and most of the time you dont even know why you died

#

checkpoints nullify that setback

mint light
vestal crystal
#

maybe its not so important that you were set back, but that you learned and improved along the way ๐Ÿ˜” ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ

normal lake
#

some high ass expectations for newer players

sharp siren
#

i mean you dont wanna treat them lik r3 ta r ts either

normal lake
#

r1 and r2 levels are like a hour long at most

#

r7 levels esspecially the ones with pe are long as hell by comparison

dreamy nest
mint light
viscid trellis
normal lake
#

you both have seen me agree with the implementation of 3 use checkpoint rules

mint light
#

wrong answer

mint light
#

You already on my team

normal lake
#

you are the one who said they are not a needed mechanic

mint light
#

which

normal lake
#

when they are quite necessary for the process of learning maps

#

long maps

mint light
#

But I also know they'll never remove em

mint light
#

how did we play R4 and R5 ????

normal lake
mint light
#

these levels are longer/as long as R7. no checkpoints

viscid trellis
#

they have the same game design...

normal lake
mint light
#

And harder than R7

dreamy nest
normal lake
mint light
dreamy nest
vestal crystal
vapid quartz
#

That's the second tutorial rundown PirateSimon

dreamy nest
#

Am I wording it wrong?

normal lake
#

yeah was gonna say im pretty sure r6 levels where actually pretty easy based on what i remember

mint light
normal lake
#

also a long ass time ago so i dont really remember

sharp owl
#

R6 is still leagues harder than R1

mint light
#

everything is

normal lake
#

didnt get far into r6 because lack of a decent pc

#

got like 10fps in most levels which was big sad

sharp owl
#

sadge

mint light
normal lake
#

got down to d tier levels and quit after beating d1 because the lag was unplayable

sharp siren
#

you guys realize that their streamlining the difficulty of this game with the alt releases right?

#

so r5 its not gonna be the long ass levels it was

normal lake
#

probably going to work checkpoints in lmfao

mint light
#

Like take R3 how they gonna boost it above R2

sharp siren
normal lake
#

they added new content to r1 and r2

mint light
normal lake
#

okay gotcha didnt know that

#

no clue then

#

hopefully they dont spam resources

mint light
dreamy nest
#

Hmm not sure how to word it here, a year ago there was a rundown that had about 13 levels? I beat all of them solo.

sharp siren
sharp siren
#

their just making a baseline difficulty so it plays like a campaign

normal lake
#

it had a lot of levels iirc

mint light
sharp siren
#

no

#

?

normal lake
#

sounds like bringing everything to one level

sharp siren
#

re-read what ive wrote

#

their streamlining everything

mint light
sharp siren
#

so its easier and more cohesive to play

#

you'll see

#

i already put my tin foil hat that their doing this to remove checkpoints

#

because its most likely a pain in the ass to fix

normal lake
#

checkpoints do be a buggy mess

mint light
#

and R7 is not getting reworked

normal lake
#

levels around the length of c3 and d2 are honestly perfect for checkpointless levels

#

d2 is a bit short tho

sharp siren
#

hard part > checkpoint

normal lake
#

quite short tbh im not really sure why it has a checkpoint lmfao

#

the ending can be cheesed if one person stays behind and inserts the chip aswell

sharp siren
#

THE MEMORY STICK

#

GO GET IT

mint light
#

They just remove the Sec?

normal lake
#

bro racing to the memory stick was fun as hell seeing who would be the dumbass to try and go to fast

sharp siren
#

what are theyre gonna change i have no clue

normal lake
#

why is jack ass blocked

sharp siren
#

maybe r5a2 its gonna have a less cancer respawn room

normal lake
#

discord moment

mint light
sharp siren
#

maybe r5c1 respawn room will be just 1 hub instead of 2

#

maybe they will change the shitty second terminal uplink

#

on extreme

normal lake
#

also man b3 was so much easier to do pe now then it was when i first did it

sharp siren
#

because it was literally just time sink

mint light
normal lake
#

i remember the overload gave us hell when we originally did it

sharp siren
normal lake
#

this time we died only once on the overload

mint light
#

Well we'll see I guess

vapid quartz
#

Gonna overload on the mother

mint light
#

First Alt R3

vapid quartz
normal lake
#

wait does r3 only have 7 fucking levels

vapid quartz
#

Correct!

normal lake
#

damn i was looking forward to something more like r2

mint light
normal lake
#

kinda wish the map was flipped with 3 d tier levels and 1 a tier level

mint light
#

So calculate how long it's gonna last

normal lake
#

really?

#

damn r2 looks bigger than r3 by a lot

sharp siren
#

it was

#

but as long as they dont take 5 months for r4 its good

normal lake
#

okay he edited lmfao gotcha

mint light
sharp siren
#

but unlike "the good old days" we actually got another 4 rundowns to play

mint light
#

But yeah R4 is where the fun starts

normal lake
#

uh yeah with that r3 will prob take like 4 hours max sad

#

i can barely believe this was all the game content for a long ass time

sharp siren
#

me and the boys will probably do all the levels in less than that assuming we all free that day

normal lake
#

yeah 4 hours is probably generous considering a tier levels take 20 minutes max

mint light
#

one afternoon on R3 is enough I think

sharp siren
#

but i rather do full clears and have fun than speedrunning that shit

normal lake
#

b tier levels take 30 minutes max without sec / ovl

mint light
#

At least it will have a couple fun missions to redo with new players

sharp owl
#

if I get a committed team together I'll get it done in a day

normal lake
#

probably only need one other person right

sharp siren
#

if your not pulling both alarms in r3b2 your not playing the level correctly

sharp owl
#

I've already done C1, C2 and D1, I imagine the remakes will be easier

vapid quartz
#

Get it done in 3 hours and then a day later Calle will get 1000 messages asking when R4

sharp owl
vestal crystal
normal lake
#

gotcha

vestal crystal
sharp owl
#

that was good

#

still I'll be fine

normal lake
#

i dont see a c2 on the r3 map on the wiki so i was lost

sharp owl
#

me hero yda and akarui would smash it

#

is there only 1 c level?

normal lake
#

depending on the difficulty of the lover levels me and my team will prob melee only most of it

normal lake
sharp owl
#

must have been b2, c1 and D1 then

normal lake
#

idk wasnt around at the time of these maps

sharp siren
#

r3c1 and r3d1 are the only d and c levels of r3

normal lake
#

are the levels closer to r1 or r2 in difficulty

#

cus r1 me and one other dude did in like 3 or 4 hours

sharp siren
#

i wouldnt really compare it

#

r3 its short but more action pack

#

you do actually shoot a lot

#

like

#

a lot.....

normal lake
#

thats not reassuring for someone like me who likes stealth sections lmfao

sharp siren
#

well

#

you will have to like the shooting

unreal crystal
#

when r3 drops Iโ€™m going for 100 d1s at least

sharp siren
unreal crystal
#

honestly sounds pretty doable

sharp siren
#

35 min adventure

unreal crystal
#

I entertained the idea of getting 100 a3s but I think Iโ€™d actually go insane

sharp siren
#

unless they bring mom bug from back then

normal lake
#

100 r7c3 completions to become god at killing giants and hybrids

unreal crystal
#

R5e1 duo gave me enough practice killing bigs so no ty

normal lake
#

kek

#

everyone hyping up the diff of r4 and r5 which has me quite happy because r1 and r2 are way to easy and i want more hard content rather than easy content

sharp siren
#

damn r4e1 do be hard with the only striker waves

#

you definetly have to kite that

vestal crystal
unreal crystal
#

Iโ€™m actually curious what the pubs are gonna be like

storm quartz
#

Idk man if they keep hel weaponry and bc untouched itโ€™s gonna be just as easy

unreal crystal
#

Now that people canโ€™t just crutch on kiting as easily lol

lone kestrel
sharp siren
unreal crystal
#

not after Iโ€™m done with them

sharp siren
#

you need to update

storm quartz
#

5 pen hel revo

normal lake
#

kiting gets me killed more than it ever helps

lone kestrel
sharp siren
normal lake
#

prob just really bad at it

unreal crystal
#

5 pen primary weapon surely was a good idea

storm quartz
#

No stam

#

Hard rundown tho

#

Trust

sharp owl
#

armor multi makes any level with mom really hard

normal lake
#

well i look forward to the harder rundowns because the hard levels all being in r7 is honestly pretty boring at this point because ive done just about all the game content

storm quartz
#

Yea badger told me it affects armor Multi

normal lake
#

im starting to feel like most of you nerds

mint light
sharp siren
#

badger badger its that you

sharp owl
#

no but he told me about your 2k hours but still managed to get the concept of armor multi wrong

storm quartz
#

Thank you

#

God approve info

normal lake
#

when are secondary and overload introduced btw

unreal crystal
#

R4

normal lake
#

gamer

sharp owl
#

he told me to mention it at every given moment

#

and screenshot every interaction

storm quartz
#

Based

normal lake
#

aight looking at the size of r4 and r5 now i am quite excited for there drop

vestal crystal
#

it'll drop just in time for you to play with your grandkids

unreal crystal
#

beautiful, really

lone kestrel
mint light
lone kestrel
#

Bolder to assume I'll have kids ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

Damn you beat me to it

normal lake
mint light
normal lake
#

damn bro now im sad we getting r3 and not r4

unreal crystal
#

Trust in the double drop

lone kestrel
mint light
#

๐Ÿ˜”

lone kestrel
#

R5 R6 and R8 too!

normal lake
#

gonna be nice having some new hard levels when that drops

#

once my group finishes up pe for r7 c2 and c3 we are basically just waiting for r3

lone kestrel
#

I think it's safe to say R6 Alt will be the HARDEST rundown ever seen

normal lake
lone kestrel
mint light
normal lake
#

poorly worded sentence

lone kestrel
#

Oh nvm I see

normal lake
#

not doing overload for d1, and i might return to d2

lone kestrel
#

No E1?

normal lake
mint light
vestal crystal
#

dont tell him about r5e1

normal lake
#

Ill do it if 10 chambers just fixes the bugs

#

it aint that hard

mint light
#

It "fixes" the bug

normal lake
#

the level takes like 4 minutes to reload man i dont wanna do that shit

mint light
normal lake
#

to impatient

unreal crystal
lone kestrel
#

No you don't have to restart to fix the bug lol

mint light
lone kestrel
#

You just have people leave while host puts command in

vestal crystal
#

will it count if they play on the build at r7 launch where u can just start overload at the end

#

๐Ÿ˜Ž

sharp owl
#

why R3

normal lake
lone kestrel
#

Maybe the real reason they haven't fixed the bug is they're saving it for R7 ALT PirateSimon

normal lake
#

esspecially when i have 20% hp

mint light
normal lake
#

just aint played e1 yet and honestly idk why

mint light
#

You can't be stopping at C tier, right?

normal lake
#

we are doing everything except d1 overload

#

because A. I dont wanna do it, and B. My friends dont wanna do it

#

I dont think i could even convince them if i wanted to

lone kestrel
#

If they haven't fixed D1 bug, maybe the most notorious in R7, since it released last June, I really don't see them fixing it now

normal lake
#

there are other bugs in that level that bothered me a lot but the overload bug is the worst

mint light
#

I kinda like that level tho ๐Ÿ˜ญ

lone kestrel
#

It's ok

#

I like the level design of giving you a choice in the first half and I really like the last bit with the uplinks

normal lake
#

the level is good without the bugs altho the overload is basic as hell but its still different

lone kestrel
#

But everything else feels like a slog to me

sharp owl
#

you can make everyone DC then rejoin once the error starts

#

which is lame as fuck

#

but it works

mint light
#

1 snatcher is really very doable

normal lake
#

yeah and i just refuse to do it because that level refuses to load faster than 4 minutes

mint light
#

It's almost as if the mission does not change

normal lake
#

i also did not like the ending of d1

vestal crystal
#

i liked watching the baby go through the conveyor belt

normal lake
#

cool concept but god i cant be assed to spend so much time searching for terminals

#

was literally faster to write down terminal locations

#

we only finished d1 to unlock e1

mint light
#

Oh well I'm curious how many attempts E1 will be before you guys are like: f this

lone kestrel
normal lake
#

if it aint buggy we probably wont quit

#

me and my group dont like buggy ass levels

vestal crystal
mint light
vestal crystal
#

i would say that bug alone makes it more buggy than d1

normal lake
#

dont care for the checkpoints its a e tier level its supposed to be hard

vestal crystal
#

because at least you can do something to account for the d1 bug

mint light
#

Basically on all the runs now we close doors

normal lake
#

just dont like difficulty coming from bugs

mint light
lone kestrel
mint light
#

Or am I hallucinating

normal lake
#

or bugs that are annoying as hell

vestal crystal
#

last i read, i think bd tested it for a long ass time and their conclusion was its a postiion desync bug, not anything to do with doors

#

if your position is desynced in the same room as the scout it will trigger whether the door is closed or not

normal lake
#

desync in this game is fucking wild

vestal crystal
#

@sharp siren if you'r still here

mint light
vestal crystal
#

so i dont misquote you guys

mint light
#

I thought they always triggered on doors

normal lake
#

the game overall is pretty smooth multiplayer even on my shiternet but god damn there has been some funny ass desync moments

sharp siren
vestal crystal
#

the r7e1 scout bug

#

closing door doesnt guarantee iti wont happen right?

sharp siren
#

it will happen regardless i think

#

i do believe its just hardcoded into the level

#

it always happens at the end

sharp owl
#

also he asked if you guys have a good pestilence build

sharp siren
#

the name of the level its chaos

lofty grotto
sharp siren
#

but in all honesty its kind weird that they made it trigger by touching something invisible rather than well

vestal crystal
# sharp siren it always happens at the end

i had one run where scout woke up pmom in big room as we were sneaking to reactor, we stabilized, then as we were in reactor looting those scouts screamed again and pmom round 2

sharp siren
#

a sound trigger

lofty grotto
#

I definitely lost my pants in that E1

#

Considering I never seen how fast that damn PMother ran

normal lake
#

someone wanna give me the rundown on the bug?

vestal crystal
#

we did not win

sharp owl
#

so the game wants you to be punished despite doing nothing wrong and to lower the win rate

mint light
sharp owl
#

the scout bug Empty

lofty grotto
#

Or to make things interesting

#

To increase the stress

normal lake
#

do scouts just go off in the map is that what im understanding

lofty grotto
#

Just like the Uplink Staircase of Hell in R6DX

#

I still despise the mid section tho

#

So damned cramped and difficult

vestal crystal
sharp siren
mint light
sharp siren
#

if it actually ran good it would be duable

normal lake
vestal crystal
lofty grotto
#

Iโ€™ll admitโ€ฆ I did feel like my fingers was debuffed from that level too

normal lake
#

fixing bugs doesnt happen to this game as far as i can tell so any bug that shows up is just a new feature to the game

mint light
lofty grotto
#

To make a hell of a escape from R7 into the Alts?

lofty grotto
#

After allโ€ฆ thereโ€™s still that off feeling post warp

normal lake
#

do you think if the other players stayed out of the zone and let the one player go kill it alone that would prevent it

mint light
vestal crystal
#

Why they "fix jittering" but add sniper melee

#

And then do nothing about it for I forgot how long

normal lake
#

was thinking with cfoam

mint light
#

I mean if you have the time, sure

viscid trellis
normal lake
#

might not even be worth it

sharp siren
#

ryk prove wrong with the most unfair shit i ever read in this game

normal lake
#

our host is incapable of killing scouts but manages to kill charger scouts almost 100% of the time

#

strangest shit

lofty grotto
#

Lol!

mint light
viscid trellis
#

we conclude it as "player desync"

#

i do need more info on void bug (the bug where you pass the door and VOID)

normal lake
#

i mean if its desync it shouldnt happen with 1 player and bots right

#

could run a few test and if it dont happen then its prob desync

viscid trellis
#

you never know since there isn't any indicator

mint light
viscid trellis
#

ping counter???

sharp siren
#

Ive communicated calle about, havent heard of it

mint light
#

Or door cheese everything

normal lake
viscid trellis
#

it will never happen

#

i locked myself with dragon over there

#

for hours

normal lake
#

people leaving the game or the desync with one man

viscid trellis
#

desync with client

#

if you somehow solo to that part (don't need to do reactor)

normal lake
#

so it def is a desync issue

viscid trellis
#

and just let the game run

#

the charger scout will never scream

normal lake
#

like i said could prob just have the other 3 players leave

viscid trellis
#

that's why i need more info on void bug

#

but void bug is like, near 0 info

#

"funny void after walk through a door"

normal lake
#

my group has a ton of desync and we get void bug all the time but it did happen way more on d1

viscid trellis
#

it just not really that bad for void bug

#

you can trigger a closed room

normal lake
#

not really sure how the game hosting works so i dont really know

#

only happens to one person so it must be client side

viscid trellis
#

it "client" side

#

as in, everyone can trigger the void bug to happen

#

but only happen on their own screen

normal lake
#

yeah but it doesnt happen to everyone at once and its wacky

viscid trellis
#

ye and that's the only info we have

#

"funny void bug"

#

that door on R7E1 have that bug

normal lake
#

just another bug that only effects d1

#

wonderful

viscid trellis
#

in that area

#

in that specific spot

normal lake
#

is it like d1 where it just never goes away tho

viscid trellis
#

no

#

it just, you need to stand on a specific spot on the door for it to happen

#

and when you moved out, it gone instantly

normal lake
#

it happened a lot in b3 for me today but it only lasted like 2 seconds

#

only ever happens when a door opens

viscid trellis
#

there is a spot on a door frame you can stand on for it to happen

#

but still, "funny void bug"

#

i don't think it would be the void bug that make "player position desync" to happen

#

but you never know

normal lake
#

if it was player position you would think every room just goes void aswell

rugged granite
#

what does lf in the matchamking chats mean?

viscid trellis
#

Look For

rugged granite
#

gotcha thx

sharp siren
#

alpha void bug its just game renderers not processing the one milipixel between rooms

sharp siren
#

no

#

cause its simple

viscid trellis
#

then funny void bug

sharp siren
#

its just literally that

viscid trellis
#

then there you go

normal lake
#

is there something that causes it to be permanent or requiring a rejoin on d1 unlike everywhere else

viscid trellis
#

nope

vestal crystal
#

cel bug requires rejoin

viscid trellis
#

R7E1 got more QA then R7D1

vestal crystal
#

oh nvm i misread

viscid trellis
#

but true

#

still need to get cell bug to test

#

maybe with this internet, i can get cell bug to happen

normal lake
sharp owl
#

R3 isnt real

sharp siren
#

playing with alpha be like

#

"wanna bug test cell bug"

#

hell noi

junior latch
vestal crystal
#

r6d4 checkpoint is there so that players totally cant just run into mom zone to find the cube

normal lake
#

once a level hits over a hour and a half its necessary imo

vestal crystal
junior latch
normal lake
#

but i dont really think multiple for any level is necessary

viscid trellis
normal lake
#

people failed r6d1?

#

that much atleast

#

my group cleared it in like 6 hours and at the time we all had like 15 hours experience

#

and i had 10fps in the kraken fight

#

4fps sometimes lmfao

junior latch
junior latch
normal lake
#

idk the pe levels typically take quite awhile for my group

#

b2 with secondary and b3 with pe took my group 2 hours on a replay for both of em

#

not counting resets

#

altho i dont really think the checkpoint is necessary for either of those levels but they definitly are good for newer players who would be playing those levels

#

b3 overloads ending even with a bunch of resources was hard for my group the first time we did it and redoing the checkpoint def made us improve a lot

raw shard
normal lake
#

they shouldnt be abusable but they are absolutely necessary to this game

raw shard
#

Well I'm not sure I agree with checkpoints being necessary

mint light
#

People managed the two hardest rundowns just fine without checkpoints

normal lake
#

can say not necessary all ya want but it does not change the fact that longer levels are not playable for any group who doesnt have hundreds of hours to sink into a single rundown

junior latch
mint light
#

So what you say is just factually incorrect

#

They are not "necessary"

normal lake
#

and im telling you it was likely a lot more time consuming and less enjoyable than if well placed checkpoints had been littered through the harder levels

vestal crystal
#

i wonder how many premade groups that started in r5 actually managed to clear e1 with that same group without 1 carry player

raw shard
#

Yeah R5 didn't have checkpoints and honestly those levels were longer and harder than current day rundown levels

junior latch
#

so resetting back to lobby is supposed to be a thing

#

it also adds that you feel better once you clear it if you got reset back to lobby vs checkpointing a dozen times

normal lake
#

cant imagine how many players decided game wasnt for them early because they didnt have time to sink into replaying the same stealth beginning map 6 times

mint light
normal lake
#

yes and its necessary if the game wants to reach a broader audience

vestal crystal
#

that ship has sailed

raw shard
#

If the games not for you then it's not for you. it's supposed to be hardcore

mint light
coarse grail
#

Wonder how many players stopped playing the game because they got used to checkpoints and then found they were respawning with cells in their hands ๐Ÿ˜„

normal lake
#

"hardcore" means nothing when its just elitism

raw shard
mint light
junior latch
normal lake
#

rimworld is hard because the game is hard not because its time consuming

junior latch
#

You havent seen people try r6 because of checkpoints

#

they spend way more time

#

for way less fun

#

mate, gtfo levels arent that long

raw shard
#

oi mate

rough kiln
#

Most of GTFO's difficulty is artificial; lack on information, lack of access to learning things

normal lake
#

gtfo is hard because you die and lose a hour and a half of progress to something you didnt expect

mint light
#

Gtfo levels are on average 1 hour

normal lake
junior latch
#

on average what a beginner plays will take around what 1-2 league matches would take

rough kiln
#

Gear does not display stats. Enemy detection is host sided so inconsistent if you play as client

junior latch
normal lake
#

knowing what to take into a level already gives you such a large leg up

rough kiln
#

3 of the 4 melee weapons are vastly inferior to 1

coarse grail
#

can you not die in rimworld?

#

its difficult but you never lose progress?

normal lake
#

rimworld has reloading for players who like reloading

mint light
rough kiln
#

Not knowing where to go is the biggest issue. The garbage contrast with the red warden intel text on black rooms is awful so 90% of players don't even see or read the text

normal lake
#

its a necessary artifact of the game for most people to enjoy it

raw shard
#

If you go into levels expecting to beat them first try then the game isn't for you

normal lake
#

but the game is still unreasonably hard without ruining the experience

rough kiln
#

If you know how to easily dodge or manipulate enemy attacks, there is no challenge to avoiding death in most cases

junior latch
#

imo failing and then succeeding after actually having to restart felt way way better

#

than checkpoint clears

rough kiln
#

Giant shooters can't even down you on 20%. Strikers + shooter combo doesn't kill you on regen cap

junior latch
#

especially as a beginner

#

it removes so much tension

#

which is something that gtfo is supposed to have a lot of

mint light
#

People with checkpoint clears will have a harder time on deeper levels

#

Cause they aren't ready

rough kiln
#

Checkpoints often lead to brick walling into a failed run

normal lake
#

because they have less hours in the game by default

mint light
coarse grail
#

I'm so glad I started with 300 hours

#

would have hated this game otherwise

mint light
junior latch
#

i am still of the opinion that rare, specifically placed checkpoints can be a good addition. Not to make it easier but less tedious at times

imagine if r6 only had checkpoints for c1, d1 and dx (and only 1 before the suprising/hard part)

#

then limit uses

#

and bam

jaunty pollen
#

hey guy

#

howl and play time r3?

mint light
junior latch
#

its shitty for a beginner to get suprised by say the teleport at the end of dx

normal lake
#

i dont like the checkpoints in most levels

junior latch
#

but why have 5 in D1???

normal lake
#

d2 checkpoint is fuckin stupid

junior latch
#

and again. They are never necessary

#

Theyll always be a crutch

mint light
normal lake
#

its literally 2-3 minutes before the end of the map and everything before it is 30 minutes

#

unless your a tard and cant read terminals like me

mint light
#

they never were necessary, they never will. Unless R8 is somehow insane

#

which I doubt

junior latch
#

1 A tier

#

no B no C

normal lake
#

with all the alt rundowns done i dont see why they wouldnt make r8 really hard

junior latch
#

you either go ham or go home

mint light
junior latch
rough kiln
#

Most of the difficulty new players experience is the shitty default 55 fov where you can't see, so you get hit and aim punched into the ceiling and there's no hit indicator for the direction the enemy was

junior latch
#

no tool

normal lake
#

anyone who is experienced enough to beat all other 7 rundowns should be ready for really fucking hard levels

junior latch
#

unironically. I want a level like r7c3 but for A/B tier

rough kiln
#

So you get aimpunched to death by shooters because you can't see. Literally raise your fov to 90 and all the difficulty of enemy positioning fades away instantly

raw shard
junior latch
rough kiln
#

I play on 110. I am never confused as to why I got hit because I can see

normal lake
#

i still play on like 60 fov its the only game i like the fov to be small

rough kiln

EVERYONE lol

Literally everyone on twitch uses 55 FOV

normal lake

90%+ of players do not check settings

lone kestrel

I play on 360 fov

mint light
#

GTFO twitch is something else

rough kiln
#

The default settings are shit in this game

junior latch
#

Back in r6 i got nearly every streamer to up their fov

mint light
#

I am convinced its mostly steam discussions players there

vestal crystal
#

khepri played on 55...

junior latch
mint light
normal lake
#

where checkpoints introduced in r6?

mint light
raw shard
#

It just feels rude to tell them to up thier FOV but like, they complain they can't see what's hitting them and they wonder why lmao

junior latch
#

A friend of mine plays on 55, he also doesnt shoot ๐Ÿ˜

rough kiln
#

You can see around you, you can navigate fog, you can see the enemies, you can see your teammates

normal lake
#

guessing thats why they spammed checkpoints

junior latch
rough kiln

In default you are literally zoomed in

junior latch

I too love the default Unity Camera

junior latch
jaunty pollen
#

@raw shard/..?

#

f.,...furry?

normal lake
#

yeah

#

anyways only levels i think need checkpoints in r6 are honestly b3, c1 end, c2 is questionable and d1 before the reactor

junior latch
#

I feel like the biggest issue with checkpoints was, that the people who would cry the loudest for them used them in the worst way (litteraly 6-10 hour r6c1 attempts, not clears, attempts) or 4+ hours r6d1 etc etc

normal lake
#

basically only levels that end in major hard parts

sharp siren
#

Im gonna learn unity and make my own gtfo,

junior latch

the last one before teleport

sharp siren

and im gonna use il2cpp x2

junior latch

i only use checkpoints on parts like that personally anyways

feral summit

c2s checkpoint before the overload was good

but the one in the secondary is dumb

before the end maybe

Above that will start to fish eye from zooming out

I recommend 90. Above that is for gamer mode

no it just turns the lights on

u thinking about d3 maybe

#

if its a reactor where wipes happen

normal lake

the one right after the class x charger scan is the one im refering to

#

or class v if you do the stealth

vestal crystal
#

r7d1?

normal lake
#

yeah

junior latch
#

thatsโ€ฆ not a reactor

#

and we are talking r6 rn

normal lake
#

gotcha thats why i was confused

#

then what is it

vestal crystal
normal lake
#

yeah my bad

#

i was confused as hell didnt even realize lmfao

junior latch
#

for r7

i can see checkpoints for C2 pre overload choice maybe
c1 before snatcher part is good
B3 before ending is ok
thats it

viscid trellis
normal lake
#

b3 ending is wild first time you do it esspecially since your probably not used to having one or two people carrying shit

#

the end of d1 gave my group more trouble then probably any other shoot sequence

#

c3 ending is nowhere near hard enough to justify a checkpoint considering how hard the rest of the level is

junior latch
raw shard
#

The problem with checkpoints is that teams brick wall at them trying the same thing over and over, restarting at the beginning gives the run value and makes you think about your strategy

junior latch
#

so you would learn the ending normally

raw shard
#

I've seen it happen many times

normal lake
#

if you do pe you should basically have 100% res by the time you reach the end

raw shard
#

People get stuck for hours

normal lake
#

i think the checkpoint is good shooting practice and fog practice in general though

viscid trellis
#

checkpoint is like a save file

normal lake
#

not really a resource strict level

viscid trellis
#

with bad save file, you would think to just remove it

#

but i think pub thought like, "we spent a lot of time we can't restart the entire thing"

junior latch
normal lake
#

yeah if im coming up to the b3 checkpoint with basically no resources ima be like "We are almost definitly going to fail and unless we are literally extracting when we go down we probably should reset"

crimson oriole
#

30-ish minutes to get back to the checkpoint vs 1 hour of attempting to get to extract

junior latch
#

20 min into the level at worst

viscid trellis
#

they need someone in the team to tell them that, "this save is so shit, we need to restart"

normal lake
#

kek usually its me and almost every time i do we end up playing worse

sharp owl
#

I'll leave a pub if we checkpoint more than once or twice

normal lake
#

the curse of playing at night is getting cold hands and tired man

viscid trellis
#

it's not a speedrun guys, stop doing the exact same thing

#

a little cheeky, i'm sorry

vestal crystal
#

its not the same, the speedrun guys reset before they even wipe when they get the wrong seed

normal lake
#

there is only one time i remember abusing a checkpoint and it was def the last checkpoint in d1

#

once we died i was like aight right down terminal numbers fuck this shit

#

that level was so painful i genuinely did not ever wanna go back through it

#

and that still is my opinion

viscid trellis
#

i would like to do some more r7d1

raw shard
#

why

viscid trellis
#

i can make the level more curse with my internet

viscid trellis
#

it's chill

raw shard
viscid trellis
#

just hop back on r7d1 with bot for some clips

normal lake
#

honestly i have enjoyed everything in this game except d1

viscid trellis

maybe i can make it more enjoyable

coarse grail

go with Alpha and get the 4 snatcher experience

viscid trellis

and what causes it to trigger multiple times?

viscid trellis

you combine it with

"Can't transfer data to player XXXXXX(host)"

coarse grail

Even if the host triggers it?

a byte is 8 bits

there's no way we get r4 this year

hi brandon

The R3 remake has taken longer than R3 took the first time

sharp owl

if r3 isnt here yet, r4 won't be in by april

normal lake
#

if r3 is already running late i dont see much hope in r4

#

yeah pretty much my thoughts

sharp owl
#

they're working on r3 and r4 rn so there's less release time between them right? AngelCopium

normal lake
#

i can wait tho ive been waiting for geometry dash 2.2 for 6 years just about and we are still getting sneak peaks

#

meanwhile minecraft takes a year and a half to update and usually adds 30 minutes of content

junior latch
#

we are now hitting the time frame where if r3 doesnt come its dissapointing (contrary to r2 which was completely fine)

2 1/2 months - roughly half a month for vacation is 2 months which imo is bordering on the limit unless its r4/5

not a good measurement like 20 blocks and maybe a revamp to biomes

What's ironic is that r3 is the weirdest rundown to simp over

  1. Of a rundown that showcases the lab environment it has two lab levels out of its SEVEN
  2. Half of its levels are repeat content (a2 a3 c1)
  3. The development of r4 took almost 7 months which practically killed the player base
  4. Featured 3 instances of a birther, the final of which was able to be killed so fast the music just abruptly stopped
  5. Featured no new objectives

But I guess it had the rifle and that's all it takes

if R3 was out we'd be saying R4

he has a degree, he knows what he's talking about

grizzled bison

I'd hope the devs would have fixed their level generator so it doesn't just reroll already existing levels as they redesign the old ones

Maybe that's why they're so ill inclined to update or fix levels

i have a vid i watched

it's from satisfactory dev

viscid trellis

they fixed jittering and give you sniper melee for example

LIVE EXAMPLE

grizzled bison

I don't see how that might affect something like level generation

#

That or they've been trying for months to actually fix the checkpoint related bugs

#

But last update we got on that was literally "we can't recreate the issue"

#

So now the known issues portion of the discord is dead

#

I assume it's because the only person in charge of that was asked to leave because he caused so much discourse within the community

#

So here we are, given zero information about upcoming content or rehashed older rundowns because people were surprised about a release date for content that had already come out

Simply a player issue
