Playing R5 missions with skeleton mask people adds +15% to confidence.

[little ridge]

"skeleton mask"?

R4's?

[wispy bluff]

Round and white

[little ridge]

R5's?

[wispy bluff]

Yes

[little ridge]

I like to think of the black tubes as squid ink spaghetti to eat when needed

[wispy bluff]

I got a little tired of scorpion, respec'd into canonical santonian operator for now

To bad you cant see shit because most guns hide your hands very well

[junior latch]

i honestly think the rundown masks shouldve each had smth special

[wispy bluff]

Need to get back to pistol X pistol setup

[junior latch]

imagine R5s mask where you cant see the eyes and the glow is even more pronounced

[wispy bluff]

Oh yeah, masks being transparent is a big aesthetical issue

[little ridge]

Not going to lie, I expected them to be golden or some other bizzarre effect

[topaz ridge]

what are the achievements going to be, does anyone know?

[little ridge]

Kinda glad they kept them tame but I agree with you on them being plain

[topaz ridge]

ik theyre tests

[wispy bluff]

Much amusingly almost all fanart just draw the masks and call it a day

Hell, even official art tends to feature masks being not transparent and makes them look much cooler than they are in game

False advertisement much?

[junior latch]

its not confirmed that we will even get any @topaz ridge

[topaz ridge]

:(

apparently theres a theory that completing all overloads and secondaries will give you apparel??

is that true or am i being lied to

[coarse grail]

Thats how it used to work, but not any more

[topaz ridge]

dammit

all the work for nothing

im pretty sure im 80% complete with all the rundowns

[coarse grail]

completing the rundown is its own reward

[topaz ridge]

yea but there should be smn for completing the harder ones

[gusty burrow]

Completing every level in a given Rundown will give a unique reward, so there is still that at least

[topaz ridge]

overloads should have apparel rewards :(

[junior latch]

yes

but then again it doesnt rly matter

since playing and clearing should be the main pull

[topaz ridge]

unless you get bad rng

and you dont get cool loot

[junior latch]

rng ?

ah

just get all possible loot

[topaz ridge]

i have no more loot to get bc ive taken all the rundowns on main

just grinding for extreme and overload now

[analog flicker]

Will Alt R6's Helmet be cool tho

[topaz ridge]

and it sucks that i dont get anything else

[junior latch]

the cosmetics are just kinda there anyhow no?

also if ya cleared All the E1s then you shouldnt have too much issue on PEs

[junior latch]

Its a beard helmet

[analog flicker]

Just have Eva pull doors super early

Eva Moment

[balmy moat]

^^^

[junior latch]

always a little shenanigan to troll scaler

also void

[burnt flume]

I will never forgive scaler for waking up that mother

[junior latch]

Btw regarding achievements. Heres a list of stuff that we discussed as likely/interesting:

• any PE clear (and all of them completely)
• any full rundown clear (main only)
• specific levels with a skip you can do (r5e1, r7c1, r6d1 for example)
• no ressource pick up clear
• no enemy damaged/killed clear
• not using any tools (or a 4 bio tracker clear)
• no using melee
• get all collectibles in gathering missions (see r1b1, r2c2 for example)
• without taking dmg
• without anyone downing
• solo/duo
• kill 2 or more scouts in 1 shot

If anyone has other neat ideas add em

[burnt flume]

No damage/kill clear? Sounds like a job for doorbug

[wispy bluff]

My thoughts exactly

So screw that

[burnt flume]

Complete any mission solo (no, bots don't count)

[balmy moat]

How about no damage taken

[wispy bluff]

The rest is okay. Although have my doubts about no resource pick up, might as well just call it melee only mission or something.

[balmy moat]

Oh that’s already on the list

[wispy bluff]

Actually... Hm. Probably not that bad.

[balmy moat]

I’m blind

[burnt flume]

I don't know if there'll be a way to check whether someone has done a shortcut in a mission

[junior latch]

Bs
Its an actual challenge thats not stupidly hard lol

[analog flicker]

Have 80% accuracy or more

[junior latch]

You can do guns only and no ressources on a ton of maps

[analog flicker]

[junior latch]

Most likely not tracked

[analog flicker]

I wish

[junior latch]

There is lol

[gusty burrow]

Eva is updating the list as we go, it wasn't there when you first said it

[analog flicker]

Kek

[junior latch]

r7c1, dont lower fog
R6d1, dont start up reactor

R5E1, dont open disinfect zone

R5E1 aside its pretty chill to track

[gusty burrow]

the precise wording here makes me think of a hellish r5e1 clear in which you use the first cell in the disinfect zone generator, but don't actually go in there

cell skip without the skip part

[wispy bluff]

Complete a mission without going down once or maybe even with HP never going below 50%

Mandatory kill 10.000 enemies or something

[junior latch]

Holy shit

[topaz ridge]

i do remember a certain level in r5 where you are deployed with 3 power cells, 2 of which you use to open the main doors, and 1 of which you can use to cheese your way to getting to the secondary door to get the other 2 power cells

[gusty burrow]

bring a cell to extraction clear when

[wispy bluff]

Kill a big boy with a single melee strike

[junior latch]

tbf anyone who does that deserved the achievement tru

[topaz ridge]

ive pretty much completed the game so rn im playing modded to check out the new weapons

i highly recommend

[gusty burrow]

I just realised that there's a deactivate alarms for the second error, so it's not crazy different from a regular clear with a cell skip start :(

[junior latch]

„Hasnt done the optionals“

• pretty much completed the game

[junior latch]

Its basically a way more tedious cell skip tho

you still gotta go through the hard part of cell skip but also have to do the rest of the level infected

[junior latch]

Thats possible but a very baby achievement tbf

[wispy bluff]

Kill x4 enemies in a single HEL Rifle shot

[junior latch]

more like x2 scouts

[wispy bluff]

I'm thinking very milk toast achievements mostly, like every game does it.

[coarse grail]

nothing wrong with having some gimmes to get people to explore the consumables and use them properly

[junior latch]

fair

Tho probably somewhat hard to track if it wasnt hurt before that

[wispy bluff]

Finish expedition at 85%+ infection

[coarse grail]

imagine trolling your friend with a disinfection pack at extract xD

[burnt flume]

You'd have to do more error alarms to get the next cell though

[wispy bluff]

Be the only survivor at extraction, but way too easily cheesable - just down everyone else... Lets not encourage any more bad behavior.

[shut vapor]

Kill nothing

[junior latch]

Thats why i didnt include it

[shut vapor]

Now that's a challenge

[wispy bluff]

Already on a list

[shut vapor]

O

[junior latch]

Btw regarding achievements. Heres a list of stuff that we discussed as likely/interesting:

• any PE clear (and all of them completely)
• any full rundown clear (main only)
• specific levels with a skip you can do (r5e1, r7c1, r6d1 for example)

• kill 2 or more scouts in 1 shot

If anyone has other neat ideas ill add em

[wispy bluff]

Kinda lame though honestly

[junior latch]

Na, pacifist runs are tense af

[wispy bluff]

Just means someone out there had to do infinite kiting for 30 minutes

[junior latch]

Artek thought process on no dmg taken: door bug
On no dmg dealt: kiting

[wispy bluff]

It'd hard bu bleurgh... I don't like games being played wrong.

[junior latch]

no you just foam and fast sneak

[shut vapor]

Bhop... Oh wait

[junior latch]

you have tools to use, cfoam, shove and doors (aswell as terrain)

But cfoam makes a huge difference

[serene topaz]

Oh we were supposed to use cfoam? no wonder i've been struggling with sea foam

[junior latch]

Obviously achievements could have multiple lvls

Say, dont have anyone down on an A, B, C, D or E tier

[burnt flume]

It'd be a shame if half the achievements can be cheesed with doorbug

[balmy moat]

[serene topaz]

How would you do a pacifist run with security doors? 🤔

[balmy moat]

Kite

[junior latch]

As if they cant be cheesed by glitches in other games lol

[burnt flume]

Kite/cfoam/doorbug

[balmy moat]

Pacifist runs exist already

[serene topaz]

doorbug?

[burnt flume]

Very funny bug

Makes doors impassable to enemies

So they're permanently stuck

[serene topaz]

Eh cheesing is usually never all that fun

[burnt flume]

you don't say

[junior latch]

theres definetly gonna be people who will use those to get achievements, same as there are those that get them for clears

[serene topaz]

i do

[junior latch]

but who the hell are we to care

If they flex with it when they didnt earn it thats just pathetic

[serene topaz]

True

[junior latch]

Id obviously adore speedrun type achievements for tiers, but it would be quite challenging to balance. Could do the safe approach of 2 individual levels like

Clear an A tier in less than 10/5 minutes
Clear a B tier in less than 15/7 minutes
Clear a C tier in less than 25/15 minutes
Clear a D tier in less than 25/12 minutes
Clear an E tier in less than 40/30 minutes

[wispy bluff]

"So it goes..."
Fail an expedition. Has to be there.

[junior latch]

true

also stuff like (hidden)
„Where the heck are we“

• visit another dimension
  „Lost to never be found“
• wipe in another dimension“

[timid remnant]

r5d1 bot run be so fine

then boom

tank

[knotty bobcat]

I just hope achievements are retroactive

[junior latch]

Meh

would ve kinda helpful
But how would they check most of em

[knotty bobcat]

Im not doing that 1 mission on PE again for achievements

[junior latch]

Which?

[knotty bobcat]

uuuuh

[analog flicker]

[junior latch]

PEs are usually quite fun

[knotty bobcat]

R5A3

[junior latch]

Ugh

thats more boring but ye

[analog flicker]

What is R5A3 PE again?

[knotty bobcat]

I hated it
And not just because it was annoying
but it was also ridiclously difficult because we did the bulks in the wrong order and had to deal with the error alarm through secondary, main and overload-

death

[analog flicker]

But that's the fun way

[sharp owl]

get password for 2 terminals and extract data secondary hsu error ovl cluster gen

[knotty bobcat]

I'd expect that level of difficulty from a E level, not A-

[sharp owl]

its not that hard 🤔

[knotty bobcat]

Well
I guess if you do it correctly it's not

[analog flicker]

They did it wrong order

[knotty bobcat]

''Why would we start with an Overload?''
''Let's do Secondary, then Overload, and finish up Main after that''
''Agreed''

Worst mistake of our GTFO career

[analog flicker]

Meanwhile my 3 man group clearing R7C2 Extreme bugged

Flyers and ground enemies

[knotty bobcat]

This was also just 2 of us, with 2 bots, and the bots suck with Error alarms when they have the tracker

Us running to save time and not deal with the error
Bots stop to ping enemies
Gets mulched

[analog flicker]

It was PE but our secondary bugged and had both enemy types

[knotty bobcat]

We also got like, no value from my mine deployer cuz the error and scout destroyed all the fucking doors.

and when the scouts respawned in the cocoon room... oohhhh boy

I think we alerted the scouts like 5 times over

The mission just quickly spiraled out of control

[junior latch]

Even the incorrect order isnt bad, the error is very meleeable

Its just more annoying

[analog flicker]

I can imagine.

[lone wraith]

I think this guy can imagine

[rose nova]

very imaginative

[latent palm]

@worn kiln apply but saw nothing

this is so sad

[worn kiln]

apply to what?

also can you delete a few of those walter whites lmao, i think im gonna have a seizure

[latent palm]

i want to become mods

oh ye ye ill get em down

[worn kiln]

oh right

you applied for mod

[lone wraith]

Loss of Humanity

[latent palm]

im commited

[lone wraith]

This guy plays league of legends and is a discord moderator?!

Complete loss of humanity

[visual jungle]

think he already lost it the moment he installed league

[latent palm]

i play with friends

[worn kiln]

unfortunately you applied right at the cutoff for this wave of mods

[latent palm]

does that counts?

[worn kiln]

so your app hasnt actually been reviewed yet

[latent palm]

well ill just wait then

[worn kiln]

yeah if theres another full wave and youre not in it then you have permission to cry

[latent palm]

how long till the next wave?

[pine root]

probs a bit

last one before this one early feb

[worn kiln]

no set timeline

a few months at least

it really depends on how many apps we actually get

[muted tapir]

any advice for r2c1? my team is having struggle

[pine root]

what be you struggling with @muted tapir

[muted tapir]

the last part, there's a scout behind a door that has motion sensor activated, when you open the door and shoot the sleepers the scout triggers

that drains a lot of our resources

[rose nova]

usually the blood door is in a room with some doors
so u can try either shootin the scout as the door opens with a gun

[pine root]

so there is a werid thing you can do to never trigger the scout

[rose nova]

or when it activates, have the doors behind u close

and mine em

[pine root]

or you can try to shoot it as it opens

[pine root]

if you send one player to mine and pull the door then all your other players are two rooms away the mine player can down themself and the scout wont wake up

[last parrot]

scout behind blood door you mean?

[pine root]

yeah

[last parrot]

just run behind another door

[pine root]

it isnt possible

for those doors

[last parrot]

its not?

[pine root]

na

the rooms to big

you need to down yourself if you want to do that

or shoot scout

or just live with it

[last parrot]

i dont remember the room being all that big

[rose nova]

theres two doors you would need to go

one of em is in an open area

other in a small room

[pine root]

the open animation is way to short for both

[muted tapir]

its a hellish experience

[rose nova]

Alt R1A1 tile after class II alarm

[last parrot]

damn

[rose nova]

yeah :3

fun

[last parrot]

well then it might be an issue of luck if i recall c1 correctly

if you have enough ammo you can deal with blood door then scout wave

[pine root]

you can just shoot it

very easily

it isnt even close when it comes to ammo

[last parrot]

shooting it is pretty situational

[rose nova]

eh depends on ur skill

last time i ran the mission i had more than enough ammo but the first time i, ran out on extract

i relied on the bots

[little ridge]

To be fair, COFFE, are you opening farthest door last?

That also helps

But yeah with the scout thingy best thing is to just prepare for the wave

as along as you dont get the zone on the right (blood doors zone I mean) and the wave doesn't break both of the doors you need (unlikely unless one of you rushes in)

They could still spawn inside for the left one but to be fair the uplink themselves are kinda fast and you shouldn't get more than 2 waves of ||shadows||

[muted tapir]

I'l try some of that

I'll*

thanks for the tips

[rose nova]

also if u get stuck like at r2, u can jump to r3
in case ur, doin like the rundowns in order

[junior latch]

Its definetly doable for the left one

[rose nova]

r2 is just harder than r3

[junior latch]

i wouldnt recommend it since its tight af timing

[junior latch]

On a level per level basis it honestly isnt lol

its just that r2 peaks higher

[rose nova]

i mean yeah its true, but tbh i consider like A and B tiers of r3 to be, pretty easy
i mean b2 maybs its like on pair with somethin like r2c1 but, still

[little ridge]

Wait they only scream if a player is in FoV, right?

What happens if the guy pulling the door disconnects?

[rose nova]

and it is nice practice for like some situations, helps to improve and then u can come back to r2 and maybs do it better

[little ridge]

Just for curiosity

[rose nova]

specially r2d2

[pine root]

not in fov

adjanctent room

and they cant scream if the guy dcs

you can also just down yourself

[little ridge]

Didnt know thanks

[junior latch]

They wont scream

[rose nova]

just die :3 wont scream

[pine root]

yeah we have been uing this no stop in gtfr

you dont have a choice

[junior latch]

both B tiers would be the hardest in R2 imo

Then you also have C1 which is harder than both Cs

A3 is also by far the hardest A tier. The only one that id say is easier than R2 is A1.

[rose nova]

i defo wouldnt call A3 the hardest A tier
B tiers i consider like on par with R2 C levels but a bit below em cause they are shorter so like, again nice practice... B1 tbh is way too easy, only challengin part is the first alarm cause is a shit position but u can foam it

and C and D tiers yeah, those r bitches

nothin to say there

[pine root]

a3 is reactor?

[little ridge]

Main only? Yeah R3A3 is probably the hardest as of now

[little ridge]

yes

[rose nova]

ah main only

then yeah i guess

but still like, not that hard

[wraith marsh]

isnt this only a comparison out of r2 and 3 anyways

[rose nova]

... with a team

[pine root]

it is only a tier

[rose nova]

yeah

[rose nova]

yeah thats why i am sayin it

i mean for A tiers it is hard but, still not super bad

[junior latch]

Duh yes main only, its r2 and r3

[rose nova]

:[

[wraith marsh]

a3 easy till the 27 uses of ammo are dead on the floor

[pine root]

I KILL

[rose nova]

i sorry fine i thought u meant hard in general all rundowns

[pine root]

two full waves

with 20%

and couldnt ever get res

[junior latch]

A3 is easily the hardest main A tier. The last giant wave alone is above most others alone

[little ridge]

And still yeah, Both Bs of R3 are harder than R2's

I'd say that R3B1 is more "annoying" than hard but the point still stands

[wraith marsh]

we love wipe conditions on A tiers

[rose nova]

i mean i am talkin of if you get stuck on R2, on like R2C2 or R2D1

[junior latch]

B1 with 4 alarms and 2 uplinks

Compare that to smth like r2b3 with 2 alarms and 1 uplink

„Short“

r2 b levels are short

All can be done below 6 minutes

[wraith marsh]

r2b2 is the only "difficult" B tier in r2 and its still short yeah

[rose nova]

tbh b3 is the first, uplink u find
and b3 has fuckier wuckier alarms cause they r all super close
it is shorter tho yeah

[little ridge]

Ah dont get me wrong people should/could just hop on another rundown if they meet a roadblock, but to be fair if said roadblock is not R2D2-E1 and it's before R4 then there's an issue

[junior latch]

????? R3B1 alarms are all in the span of 4 rooms too

[wraith marsh]

first alarm 1 zone spawn

second in infect fog with spitters

[rose nova]

but they r easier to defend cause each one of em have their doors and if u do wardens one u get em from one zone
first time maybs u can get it fucked up tho

so

thats a thing

wait

[junior latch]

Its 2 rooms

its a room divider

[little ridge]

R3B1 just has a shitload more alarms compared to R2B3... like 4+2uplinks compared to what? 2+1?

[wraith marsh]

1 room away*

idk why I said zone

[little ridge]

And R3B1 rooms are beeeeeeeg

[junior latch]

I meant r3b1 btw for 4 alarms

Its still 2 rooms

that first alarm spawns the outside the sec door

[little ridge]

fug right r3b2 is mom introduction

[rose nova]

oh yeah

[junior latch]

R3 is definetly harder on a per tier basis

[rose nova]

ok yeah im a dumbass sorry lmao

yeah ur right

sorry

[junior latch]

its just easier at the end cuz 1 D vs 2 D and 1 E

dw

i just like discussions

[rose nova]

ok :3 ill steal ur tv and then discuss why i should give it back

[little ridge]

I'd say r3d1 is a bizzarre case where if they know what to do the margin of error ain't really big

but that may just be my pov

[rose nova]

D1 is easier only when u know what to do

[gentle steeple]

R3D1 is pretty easy for a D level

[rose nova]

but its a lot of try and error

to like figure it out

[gentle steeple]

Only hard part is the charger hallway

[little ridge]

it's just that you get so much res and time after ||turning off error|| that I feel like you really need to fuck up big after that

[rose nova]

it has funky spawns and like new enemy and alarms that u dont expect

[junior latch]

anyhow @wraith marsh theres not a single alarm in R2B-tiers with 1 room spawns (uplinks in r2b3 aside)

[little ridge]

Is it? I cleared it a lot of times just blasting through

[gentle steeple]

For new players yeah

[pine root]

pretty sure you are forgetting about the class s surge on every door

[little ridge]

Once we even woke up both cscouts 😄

[gentle steeple]

First introduction to bbc

And Cscout

[rose nova]

yeah

[little ridge]

You just get a fuckton of ammo and a good choke at the staircase

[gentle steeple]

True

[rose nova]

most people arent, gonna hold there KMSDKM

they r gonna run or somethin

panic probs

[gentle steeple]

Remember that new people panic a lot

[rose nova]

yeah

i mean not even new people

[gentle steeple]

Specially after seeing two new enemies

[little ridge]

fair

[rose nova]

just, good enough people that dont know this enemy or somethin

[little ridge]

class S?

[rose nova]

ah yes the class VI surge alarm

[little ridge]

on r3d1?

[rose nova]

how could i forget

and the overload yeah

[pine root]

yeah into the triple p mom fight

[rose nova]

it is a hard optional

yeah yeah

its ok

but well id say it is easier than C1 but, only when u know the level already

other than that is a lot of dyin to know what to do

[junior latch]

Haha jish funny randomizer moment

[rose nova]

i mean even like, the blood door, the very first one can get u fucked if ur like runnin around and stuff

[junior latch]

randomizer is an awesome mod tho

you should see the r7d2 tiles lol

[little ridge]

took me a while to get it

[gentle steeple]

There's a randomizer????

WHERE?

[junior latch]

no 👀

[rose nova]

whats a randomizer?

w>;;;;

[junior latch]

AAAAANYWAY

[rose nova]

SO RIGHT D1

[gentle steeple]

Is it still forbidden to speak such things in chat or the devs chilled out with that?

[rose nova]

UM

I LOVED THE SURGE

[junior latch]

thoughts on speedrun achievements

[rose nova]

one for training would b funny

[pine root]

would like it

[rose nova]

but thats about it ksmdkm

[junior latch]

I mean id not go to deep into that here when theres a modding server for it

[rose nova]

maybs a level

[gentle steeple]

Oh yeah

mb

[junior latch]

I think you can do it per tier

[rose nova]

i mean if theres too many it becomes a bit of a chore and not super original
i think 2 3 are enough, choosin levls u can like do very fast
maybs like, with R6 do one of D1, like u need to complete it this fast

and u need to skip reactor n stuff to accelerate

[junior latch]

With 2 levels for it

Do an,
A tier in below 15/5minutes
B tier in below 15/7 minutes
C tier in below 25/15 minutes
D tier in below 25/12 minutes
E tier in below 40/30 minutes

Are those times realistic?

[robust gull]

how hard can it be, if there's shit you keep wiping

clean your ass better bro

[gentle steeple]

Based

[wraith marsh]

gamers never wipe

[rose nova]

i mean depends on the level
are u just like, those are the achievement and u can choose the level to do em?

[junior latch]

Choose the level

[rose nova]

cause if so, um thats gonna b a bit easy to like manipulate

[pine root]

seemse fair

[junior latch]

Is it tho?

obviously you wouldnt speedrun r7c3 for a below 15 min attempt

[pine root]

i mean d teir in 12 mins is asking for r7d2

or r1d1

e tier is def an r7e1

that shit is a free sub 30

[rose nova]

i mean, B tier probs like R2B1 is super fast, R2C2 usually its always under 25
idk bout the E and D tho but

[little ridge]

Yeah

[junior latch]

or r6d1

[junior latch]

R2E1 and R5E1 quick cell skip

[little ridge]

I feel like X tier in less than X minutes gets to whatever shit is faster

[rose nova]

it is a very open achievement so

[little ridge]

especially since the game only has 3 E tier as of now

[pine root]

b tier can be anything probs r2b1

[junior latch]

yea i didnt wanna make it super insane

[junior latch]

4

[gentle steeple]

4?

R2 R4 R5 R7

[little ridge]

I cant count

[rose nova]

id say more like, choose a level people do slow, but you can do super fast
again, R6D1, u could skip reactor and go super fast if u know what ur doin n stuff
so choose for example that one and put a time limit that is reasonable

[gentle steeple]

Name checks out

[pine root]

c tier is the only one i dont know off the top of my head

like r2c2 is probs the fastest

[robust gull]

imagine r8f1 is just r1a1 - r8e1 marathon in one streak, no checkpoints, forced overload/extreme, and your stats/dead teammates carry between levels

[pine root]

so i guess i would do it there

[junior latch]

imo thats just overlapping with the cooler skip a part of lvl achievements

[robust gull]

peak game design

[little ridge]

R8F1 is just a super fast map with very speedy HSUs

[junior latch]

Yeah C tier is rough since R2C2 is by far th quickest

[gentle steeple]

I hope there is a F1 in R8

Doubt it tho

[little ridge]

Instead of tire change they change the Daudas inside

[rose nova]

ah yes R8A1 with the 1 minute runs

[robust gull]

r8f1 is just one massive room of 1000 turbines, no terminal, and you have to pick up and put down all of them until you randomly find the right one

[gentle steeple]

R8 should go upwards and F1 be called GTFO

[pine root]

based

[gentle steeple]

To close lore

[pine root]

best level yet

[upbeat sail]

wouldnt r5b4 be impossible for that

[pine root]

a few would be

[robust gull]

intense whirring as your migraine gets worse

[pine root]

but that is okay

[rose nova]

u dont have to choose b4

why would u ksdmkm

[little ridge]

Like my idea of a 30 waves reactor where every single wave is 1 single shadow and you need to go North then South for every code

[rose nova]

pain

[pine root]

you have to bring 100 cells from the end of the map to the beginning all while a snatcher surge waves spawns

[rose nova]

WHAT R THESE IDEAS

WHY KSMDKM

[robust gull]

give community cancer one last time

[upbeat sail]

can a spitter be placed on the single shadows head

[little ridge]

If it believes in himself enough he can be anything

(no)

[rose nova]

put a spitter on a charger scout

u go to melee it with an IIX u get screamed

[robust gull]

shot in the dark you boys reckon scattergun will have wholesome rounding error glitch when reloading and you don't reload the entire thing kinda like high cal did?

[junior latch]

Regarding the levels that would be possible in the time frame for 2nd difficulty

Do an,
A tier in below 15/5minutes (r1, r2, r4, r5a2)
B tier in below 15/7 minutes (r1, r2, r5b1/2)
C tier in below 25/15 minutes(r1c2, r2c1, r2c2, r3c1, r4c1, r7c1)
D tier in below 25/12 minutes (r1, r3, r6d1, r7d2)
E tier in below 40/30 minutes (any but r4)

[robust gull]

so its f tier for a week while they patch it

[pine root]

the ladder is way more impressive

[rose nova]

nah

[rose nova]

i dont remember any run of r7c1 that i have done that wasnt just skimmin over the one hour time

qwq

[junior latch]

The ladder?

[pine root]

r4 main only should be possilbe sub 30

[burnt flume]

e tier so fast would either have to be cell skip or r2e1 ladder foam for most players wouldn't it

[pine root]

the lower times

[junior latch]

True, i didnt have a reference for it tho

[pine root]

or just a fast r7e1

tbh i think it is the easiest one to get sub 30 on

[junior latch]

honestly you could probably lower C tier 2nd to 12 aswell, it would only kick out R7C1

[burnt flume]

maybe, i never play r7e1

[rose nova]

is R7A1 faster to do than R2A1?

R2 has the smoler map

[junior latch]

Harder of 2 speedrun achievement
„Most players“ doesnt add up

[junior latch]

no

[little ridge]

I feel like you could just consider the faster for each tier and work with that plus some mins tbh?

[junior latch]

r7a1 is the slowest (tied with r5a1) A1

[pine root]

that is kinda what was done

[burnt flume]

r1a1 so easy to go fast

[junior latch]

I like the idea of 2, same as hollow knight does it

[rose nova]

damn

[pine root]

none of the stratgies would require anything fucked

[junior latch]

yep

i tried giving fair estimates

nothing even scrapes the records

[junior latch]

both 5:34 btw

[junior latch]

Also regarding this

I feel like having an easier one to pop up when you get a decently fast clear could encourage trying to go for the quicker one

[little ridge]

😄 trying to get people to speedrun? 😄

[rose nova]

:^

u will not convince me to speedrun

unless i create my own category

bot speedrun

[junior latch]

Bots are already allowed

[burnt flume]

1 bot = 1 player

[rose nova]

but aspeedrun 3 bots

[junior latch]

Its a mix of both
I think getting people into it would be neat
But the idea of a layered achievement is the same as asking smth easy and then smth harder after

Also YES more speedrunners lol pls

[rose nova]

no >:]

ill b a slowrunner

[junior latch]

do it

[rose nova]

wonder how funk is a speedrun alone kmsdkm

[burnt flume]

very funny actually

you get to hold alarm and get better at the game

[lone wraith]

Any 24hour+ runs?

[burnt flume]

then be trolled by E HSU in r1a1

[rose nova]

qwq

im just a smol player i cant solo stuff

[burnt flume]

hm i should probably upload the r1a1 I got today

[rose nova]

ive been tryin r3a2 for funs but keep fuckin up ksmdkm

[balmy moat]

There will be

Soon ™️

[junior latch]

with R8

cuz otherwise its wasted af

[burnt flume]

10 seconds off 3rd place but I am filled with fear after realising that eva's run had E HSU

[junior latch]

tho im not sure if its actually 24+

[burnt flume]

kenny's run was pretty similar to mine though

[junior latch]

yea the only reason i havent tried improving was the funny tie

[balmy moat]

You severely underestimate my insanity

[burnt flume]

and to think, if I would've been able to save 10 seconds off my run

3 way tie

[junior latch]

Pachi you gotta get 6:26 by force

run is quicker? Step off extract and wait

[burnt flume]

I don't know if I can be that precise but

there's also the urge to just, get a better run and be like "haha fuck logs I'm still faster" even if the logs runs could gain a lot of time on my run

because terminal is slow

[balmy moat]

Use terminal tech if you aren’t already

[junior latch]

or just dont use terminals

[balmy moat]

Saves some time, better than none

[junior latch]

like we did before logs

or rather didnt*

[burnt flume]

if you're talking about comm menu

I don't know whether I should be walking towards B/F, somewhere in C, or somewhere in G

[junior latch]

2 seconds is 2 seconds

[burnt flume]

and I don't particularly think I can run 3 directions at once

[junior latch]

You can also guess on how long the ping takes

[burnt flume]

I run in the right direction? cool, I save some time, if not

don't think I'll be accepting D/E keys anymore

[junior latch]

anyway „no log“ can always be the same speed as log here if ya run the way we usually do

its just painful since resets happen as much :>

[burnt flume]

I saw multiple B keys today which was surprising

and multiple close D hsus, got a 6:36 and then a 6:47

[latent palm]

waiting for a ping to GTFO

[lone wraith]

Real

[grizzled bison]

@pine root GTFO

Do you want to be mutuals Jish

[unreal crystal]

ignore him hes been huffing paint

[robust gull]

There's a voice line of hackett saying a racial slur to dauda

Not fake

[lone wraith]

💀

[robust gull]

You need to be playing gtfo on dec 5 9 49am, r7d2. Have to crouch by pmom while equipped with a scattergun, dmr, auto sentry, and knife

Try it

[lone wraith]

Real...

[robust gull]

Then the p mom gets hyper realistic blood eyes and says u r dead and runs at computer ternunal sctenn!!!

[pine root]

Gt(fwb)o

yolo?

[latent palm]

leaving already?

[civic compass]

ye, i have stuff to do
might play later or join you all next time

[latent palm]

aight

[shut vapor]

Today is my last day with my mediocre laptop. I will finally be able to carry my ass in gtfo from tomorrow :D

I will be so good I'll be able to beat R5C1 Solo 😎

[rose nova]

bet

[shut vapor]

I have been playing gtfo at 20 fps with frequent hitches. The jump is gonna be huge

[rose nova]

ive been playin gtfo at 7 B]

ok no fr thats super nice ur upgradin :3

hope u enjoy it lots

[shut vapor]

only £1250

[rose nova]

qwq worth

[shut vapor]

Maybe I'll finally be able to play Elden Ring too

D:

:O

[balmy moat]

Try 2 FPS

Before I upgraded I ran GTFO at 2

[edgy karma]

is r7a1 easier than r1a1?

[vagrant veldt]

I ran at 30fps 4K. It was not good. Then I got 3440×1440 ultrawide and upgraded videocard. 80-90fps, ~110 in many areas. My screen can do 144 but no videocvard cashtyo do so.

[balmy moat]

1080p at 2 FPS

30 FPS 4K is mneh

Not good, but definitely probably not worse than me

[shut vapor]

There's reasonable numbers, and then there's numbers where you give up and understand you won't be playing the game

[balmy moat]

If I ran 4K I'd be doing half of a frame

Even less probably

[vagrant veldt]

30fps makes aiming very hard though, 60 much easier, 75-90 makes it easiest, afetr that no more big jumps.

[balmy moat]

I speedran at 2 FPS

[vagrant veldt]

At 2 fps you wont hit shit.

[shut vapor]

you got video proof?

[balmy moat]

Don't ever give up

[balmy moat]

I had screenshots in #gtfo-media

Of my low FPS count a long time ago

[rose nova]

Yeah but right after you can go back to R1
tho R7 introduces a lot really fast, like lore n stuff

but it is easier

[shut vapor]

because there's no way you are recording and playing gtfo if you run it at 2 fps by default

[balmy moat]

I am lmao

I wouldn't be saying it if I didn't

[vagrant veldt]

Probably wy the screenshots.

[balmy moat]

I was pretty much the dead weight of half the speedruns back then

Cause my performance was ass

Getting 2 FPS during a run isn't viable at all

20 on good days

If I had my old rig now, it'd probably be lower than 1, because this game depreciates performance every rundown drop

[shut vapor]

Just checked, no screenshots with fps counter 😔

[balmy moat]

Really? Damn

[shut vapor]

Earliest image is 08/22

[balmy moat]

Lemme check my DMs with a couple people

[shut vapor]

Which tbf is before your pictures of your case and motherboard and stuff

but 2 fps is unbelievable, i'm sorry 💀

[balmy moat]

Ask any speedrunner

They can back me up

Jish, Eva, Bread

[shut vapor]

You aren't playing the game at that point, you are presenting to the class

[balmy moat]

They all know and seen it

[lavish crane]

the server rules say "dont try to play older Rundowns with people"
but rundowns 1 - 5 are all available to play. What's the problem with playing those?

[shut vapor]

The original copies of the rundown they mean

The rereleases are fine to play

[rose nova]

soo this game used to work like fortnite seasons
when Rundown 2 came out, it replaced Rundown 1, Rundown 3 replaced Rundown 2 and so on, everytime a new rundown came the old one got eliminated
on Rundown 7 tho, the devs decided to bring the old rundowns back, and they did it the ALT://Rundowns, the old rundowns but slightly changed and optimized
and so next up they need to release ALT://Rundown 6

[lavish crane]

ohh, I see
so like downgrading the game version, I get it

[rose nova]

so what youre NOT allowed to play, is older versions of the game

yeah

[analog flicker]

plays OG R1C1 love to see these newcomers struggle here.

[shut vapor]

Wouldn't recommend playing the older rundowns anyway, R1-R3 were just trash

[junior latch]

Back then :^ )?

[analog flicker]

Even then?

[shut vapor]

R5 is where it's at

[balmy moat]

[balmy moat]

[junior latch]

watching breads old training runs hurt my eyes

Now imagine that but 10 times worse for void

[analog flicker]

[balmy moat]

Probably close to 100x

If I may dare to say so

It was that bad 💀

[analog flicker]

Ya think. Melees would've been better/balanced if we received all 4 from OG R1?

[balmy moat]

@shut vapor I found it

Idk where you looked

#gtfo-media message

[lavish crane]

thanks for the clarification
though I was hoping to get an idea of some sort of complete story to this game, and experience everything the game has to offer, so that's why I wanted to play it all
what's bad about the first few rundowns? I'm only on R1B1 and my main issue is just how long the mission gets, it's tedious to go find 12 ID cards especially when you have to stealth past tall dudes and it just slows the whole level down

I've tried it several times in single player, micromanaging my AI teammates and it's really disappointing when an hour and a half into the mission, I fail and have to start the whole thing over :/

[balmy moat]

That was on a good day with 17 FPS just idle in level and 2 FPS 1% lows

[shut vapor]

I used the discord search feature, earliest picture goes back to 20/08/22. Your image is at 10/08/22, so idk what went wrong

[analog flicker]

By older. They mean the Original versions of them. Not the Alts.

[balmy moat]

Now imagine things happening in a level

I'm so fucked

[mint light]

R1B1 is 30 min tops. you have not seen the long missions yet

[analog flicker]

Unless I skipped some piece of info while reading

[analog flicker]

What's the speedrun time?

[mint light]

5 min?

[analog flicker]

Sick

[balmy moat]

3 41

[burnt flume]

4 minutes I think

[balmy moat]

3 seconds 41 ms

[mint light]

Ah

[balmy moat]

I mean

3 minutes 41 seconds

Shit

LMAO

[burnt flume]

3:41 is the duration of several rock songs, hell yeah

[mint light]

Fastest casual run we did was 10

[shut vapor]

First 3 rundowns are just bland and uninteresting.

Try find some teammates if you need help clearing a level as thats what this game is all about.

Storywise the game doesn't really pick up until r4 with the start of Schaeffer logs. R1-R3 is mostly just logs with worldbuilding

[analog flicker]

Listen to music for hype. nah

listen to music for timer

[lavish crane]

okay, thank you for spoiler-free info

[rough robin]

disagree, rundown 2 goes hard

and what I remember of r3

[robust gull]

keep in mind the first 3 rundowns are uninteresting to us vets who had to play them twice

[balmy moat]

I got a couple of levels I like from both R2 and R3

[shut vapor]

I never played them the first time, but they still look boring as shit

[robust gull]

they are fine introductory levels for a new person

yes but you've tasted the nectar of later rundowns

[mint light]

R2D1,D2 and E1 are still pretty good content

But you won't finish R2E1

[balmy moat]

R3D1 is fun

[mint light]

yes

and short

[mint light]

As you progress through the game you won't know better. so you are fine. R1 -R3 will be interesting for you

[lavish crane]

also - what is a good melee weapon that you guys like
of the four available, I choose the spear but I forget why. I got this game a year ago, played two levels and stopped but now I play again

[junior latch]

Hammer

[mint light]

Hammer

[junior latch]

never spear

[mint light]

never look back

trash the Spear as far as possible

[shut vapor]

Sledge supremacy

[rough robin]

every vet will say sledgehammer

use whatever you want, if you're struggling on a level change it

[lavish crane]

ok, fair
the knife seemed like garbage and I wasn't entirely sure about the baseball bat. so hammer it is then

[burnt flume]

Hammer offers everything with no drawback

[mint light]

For good reasons

[junior latch]

knife is niche

[rough robin]

true, hammer is op

[shut vapor]

only because its the only remnant of what we used to know

[burnt flume]

Knife offers fast kills on small enemies, but kinda sucks against other enemies

[junior latch]

if you dont wanna play to that niche its hammer

[mint light]

yup

[burnt flume]

Bat is a middle ground between knife and hammer

Spear is bad pick, never spear

[lavish crane]

I think I picked spear initially because spear has longer range? and I didn't like getting close to monsters
but after going full stealth through some rooms, I can see that getting close isn't really an issue

[junior latch]

basically never yep

and spear has nearly 10 major downsides

[analog flicker]

Long sticc

But

Stick with heavy end

Bonkbonk

[junior latch]

Also btw

[sharp owl]

spear should be buffed ngl

its a noob trap

[junior latch]

no shit

[sharp owl]

in it's current state

[rough robin]

i still vote to replace it with an axe

[sharp owl]

make it sledge but deals more and slower charge up

[burnt flume]

but it has the fastest solo giant ttk!

[junior latch]

then again, only a few players even here probably know what to fix and how

[analog flicker]

Make Spear lights horizontal for wave stagger infront

[lavish crane]

axe seems like a cool idea, I like that

[rose nova]

i mean more dmg doesnt do a whole lot, unless you can like idk oneshot a cscout and even so it would be niche then

not viable for most levels

[balmy moat]

Also what

[junior latch]

Slendi… slendi

Spear with 19.5 dmg 1 taps mom tumors and 3 hits hybrids/chickens from front with headshots

[balmy moat]

[analog flicker]

19.5?

[junior latch]

you get pat cuz joke wasnt true

[rose nova]

IDK NUMBERS KSMDKM

DONT ACT LIKE IK QWQ

i am dumb!!

[balmy moat]

[analog flicker]

Wasn't Spear precision 22.75?

[sharp owl]

this chat can confirm

[junior latch]

19.4 is the sweetspot for it btw? It 3 hs hybrids/chickens but doesnt tap mom

[junior latch]

I ignore that for base dmg

[rough robin]

who's bringing a spear to kill mothers

[rose nova]

nows a challenge

[lavish crane]

i dont know these monster names and I am eager / unsettled about finding them out on my own
thanks for the info everybody, I will attempt another run with new minor knowledge

[rose nova]

spear a mom

[junior latch]

If it 1 taps tumors its dead easy

[rose nova]

C:

[rough robin]

you got this

[sharp owl]

i solo'd R3B2 mother with sledge

[analog flicker]

You just gotta. Use knife

[sharp owl]

(bots killed babies)

[analog flicker]

With MELEE DOWN

[rough robin]

goes from combat knife to butter knife

the best part is when you lower it enough that it's genuinely unable to kill scouts

[burnt flume]

probably also contributed damage

[rose nova]

i once batted a mother to death

:3

[rough robin]

police

[rose nova]

qwq wait no

hold on

[analog flicker]

What about max melee damage on knife. What is it now

[rough robin]

bigger knife

[analog flicker]

[junior latch]

spear with 19.5 dmg takes 8 hits to kill mom

This mean any 4 spear team will STEALTH mom with no issue

[sharp owl]

not really, they fucking tried to melee the shitlings

[rough robin]

the kind of knife crocodile dundee has

[rough robin]

but then you'd have a 4 spear team

[junior latch]

hammer needs stagger cycles and unless you perfectly hit new tumors a bunch more hits

[rose nova]

yeah i missed like 5 times when i killed em with a hammer

its hard to aim for the lasts ones

[junior latch]

At that point its also the best vs giants, far better vs smalls than rn and actually not trash trash anymore (especially if combined with the othher common buffs)

[rough robin]

if they threw it more buffs like sprinting then yes it'd be busted

[junior latch]

it wouldnt even be tbh

[rough robin]

but if it -just- got 19.5 dmg i don't think it'd be insane

[junior latch]

just super strong in a niche and more available

no sprint or sprint is honestly the hardest thing

if no sprint then it should be heavy hitting

if sprint it needs exactly 19.4

[analog flicker]

Lemme just throw the fucking thing

[sharp owl]

instead of shove you can charge up the spear to fucking shoot it

infinite pierce once you throw

[rough robin]

all this theorizing and the spear buff will be "increased precision damage to 1.31 from 1.3"

[rose nova]

ah yes you shoot a bullet

out the spear

[rough robin]

that was a bloodborne weapon wasn't it

[sharp owl]

it's 1 am

[rough robin]

the gun spear

[sharp owl]

it was almost 100°F today

[burnt flume]

19.401*

[analog flicker]

Me who thought of the Bomb lance from huntshowdown

[sharp owl]

i use brian rn

i use no brain

[analog flicker]

[sharp owl]

en

fufk

[rough robin]

the rifle spear

I knew it

[sharp owl]

kil em

[rose nova]

ah yes biran

[junior latch]

@mint light did you see this btw

Would you do those achievements ?

[sharp owl]

kiill me

[analog flicker]

Brain. M t

[rose nova]

he gets the thoughts

thank u brian

[sharp owl]

brian girifn

dog

[mint light]

Whatever the chievs are for GTFO I am 100% em

[junior latch]

interesting

„Beat a level using a checkpoint, only crouching and only with spear“

[rose nova]

do R2C2 with those conditions ah

[mint light]

Sigh. Even I need to sacrifice myself sometimes

[mint light]

btw Who's alt is that Dancing Squish acc in steam discussions. He is going completely mental

[junior latch]

Do you not understand

DISCORD IS THE DEVIL

[mint light]

He obv is or was on here and is a vet as he knows some backstory.

[rose nova]

dancin squish ksmdk

funny name

[lone wraith]

This is so true

[mint light]

Which btw makes his point even more ridiculous

[junior latch]

hes also putting out lies

but that should be expected

[mint light]

Quite some as well

But he ain't the usual suspect as he would just be posting under his real name

[junior latch]

he also was toxic towards badger specifically

[lone wraith]

Damn, GTFO server lore

[junior latch]

It suprises me how negative and toxic some people get

[rose nova]

bad people when they get bored are a threat to everythin

[junior latch]

Take the gamescom situation

is it kinda shitty that people that dont go wont get to play it and would it be better if it was later released with r8 or smth? Yes

[lone wraith]

Just on the internet?

[junior latch]

The take of that gamescom mission being intended to force you to pay X amount of money for gamescom and plane tickets is so weird

isnt it the contrary? Its a extra for people that paid that money and decided to visit

[lone wraith]

Maybe they think of it as a reward for going

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[junior latch]

Yea

[lone wraith]

Though it kinda leaves a sour taste in the mouths of people who didn't go

[junior latch]

obviously

which is why i think adding it with r8 wouldve been sensible

but from what calle explained it is made for gamescom timeslots

I dont agree with it but i see the argument

[rose nova]

i dont, have lost hopes that they release it someday
like it could happen it could not, but just kinda knowin 10c kinda backtracks on some comments, i can dream

[rose nova]

right is what i said

it makes me sad and of course i wanna play it, but i can sort of get it

[junior latch]

You can also listen to me describe it in minute detail and rank it in the eva, dragon and ray podcast coming with r8

[lone wraith]

lol

[rose nova]

this is where u put the link

... or well the future link

:]

[junior latch]

Dread it, run from it, eva-dragon-ray podcast still arrives

[last parrot]

id listen

[rose nova]

i might, i never listen to podcasts, but i wanna know the level so

:]

[junior latch]

honestly. Id love to just stream the discussions

But id need people who are down for it, knowledgable and stuff

BDragon and ray obviously fit well for knowledge and are cool

[junior latch]

Imagine if everyone who goes just collectively decides to lie about the level

[rose nova]

NOOOO

[junior latch]

or better yet, 50/50 split

[rose nova]

NOOOO THATS WORSEEE

QWQ

[junior latch]

half says it was A tier baby stuff, other talk about the first F tier

[charred ember]

my lazy ass ask new player to take out the scout

knowing damn well we gonna fight a horde soon

[rose nova]

you just dont lie about the easy part but u like complete invent the hard optional
'Ah its a class V SURGE WHAT? OH AND CHARGERS WOW PEOPLE THIS IS SO FUNKY!'

[rose nova]

:]

u like ur guns

[merry crypt]

lie that r7d2 is a bot friendly level

[lone wraith]

The gaslight would be hilarious

[last parrot]

oh no

[charred ember]

cant be going around spoiling new players now can i?

[junior latch]

Even better

[rose nova]

i mean wouldnt b
good so no

:]

[junior latch]

I just spread multiple different versions of the level

youll never figure out the true one

[rose nova]

you do like a randomizer, like code it, and then pick and choose many many many different versions

[charred ember]

yeah they will have to take out scout themselves so better let them do it now

[junior latch]

Class 4 shadow giant surge? Or was it 2 moms and 2 snatchers with tons of babies? Or actually it mightve been a flyer and charger surge error

[charred ember]

im just there to lessen the punishment when they accidentally piss the scout off

[merry crypt]

i mean im not "lying"
i just wouldnt recomend it :)

[rose nova]

... n- no it is a lie cause its not bot friendly

its, possible but not friendly

[merry crypt]

what do you mean?
im nice to bots :)

[rose nova]

no ur not >:[

[sharp owl]

now that randomboy is a mod ill do the ritual where i hate on him for a week

despicable

[merry crypt]

but in all seriousness i think r7d2 is actully a really good error level for bots, the only downside is that it takes a lot of time and that you need good rng

[merry crypt]

same

[rose nova]

ill pat boi for a week

[merry crypt]

damn

[balmy moat]

@junior latch Shouldn't you be sleeping

[junior latch]

Kinda

I can help you fall asleep

Join VC with me

You can listen to my soothing voiceovers

[rose nova]

just spams sounds of strikers

ahre

[merry crypt]

tank scream

[balmy moat]

Lol I'm actually rerecording all my voiceovers for my upcoming video

For better audio quality

[merry crypt]

oh nice

any good microphones you would recommend?

[balmy moat]

For what kind of application?

[merry crypt]

just discord calls and recording on OBS

[balmy moat]

Budget?

[merry crypt]

lets say around $200 (AUS) ($127 US)

[balmy moat]

Rode PodMic

$99 USD

You'd need to get a boom arm or something to hold it though

And you will have to buy a Audio Interface if you don't have one already

[merry crypt]

ooooof

well thank you, i'll look into it

[wraith scroll]

I'm looking for a more consistent playgroup rather than just jumping into random lfgs if possible. I'd prefer to establish a reliable group of 4 that plays on regular times

[orchid sequoia]

@sharp owl Sorry my internet just decided it didnt want to work anymore and booted me off until now

[sharp owl]

dammm sorry about that

[orchid sequoia]

All good i already had R2A1 done was just helping out (didnt really get to do much though lmao)

[sharp owl]

i know but thanks anyways

[wraith scroll]

so ye pls dm me if you want someone for a regular GTFO playgroup instead of just hopping in with randos

[lavish crane]

nevermind, fuck this stupid fucking game
wasted another hour+ on R1B1 only to get killed by a big guy who randomly woke up completely unprompted, then woke the entire room of 5 more big guys. And don't lie to me and say this level should take 15 minutes just because you have 500 hours in this game and know how to clip through walls and use mods that show every ID card on your hud at all times

Does GTFO have an "AI director" like Left 4 Dead, except instead of nudging difficulty a little bit in one direction based on how well you're doing, it just randomly decides "haha wouldnt it be funny if they just all died right now due to something out of the player's control"
I can respect a game that "has a learning curve" or "doesn't hold your hand" or "has no easy mode" or whatever. Yes, it obviously makes sense to have a challenge to the game. But it is antithetical of all game design to simply ruin my experience due to no action of my own.
And I get stuff like "you just have to master these basics, then once you learn that it'll be cool from there and you'll enjoy it more." But if this experience is indicative of all future levels, I just don't understand how this game has a playerbase.

there are only so many times I can bear to hear my character repeatedly say "sleeepeeers! stay quiet or they'll wake their friends, and we'll be in deep. shit." yeah I get it dude I've played the level 6 times already

[upbeat sail]

they cant wake up on their own and if it was instant you probably touched them

[burnt flume]

yeah dialogue can get annoying, you can turn it off in settings
something must've happened to wake the big guy up, whether you shot it, moved too much, moved into it, etc etc

there is always the option to play with somebody else

[shut vapor]

Please get teammates

[burnt flume]

even having 1 experienced player with you can speed things up 10 fold

[lavish crane]

is it possible for CPU players to wake monsters

[upbeat sail]

no

[shut vapor]

No

[upbeat sail]

bots can can outright shoot and it wont wake anything

[high ruin]

@lavish crane If you're playing with only bots, then the levels are quite a bit harder. You can genuinely get bad spawns and that always sucks. Waking up a room of giants with only bots is pretty rough in terms of trying to outshoot it. Generally when you wake up a large room you want to fall back somewhere where all the enemies can funnel through for easy shooting. Also since it's giants, if the previous room had a door you can close, I'd slap a couple of mines on it to make them an easy finish. If it's just you and bots, I'd generally have mines on you and sentries/bio on bots. You need to be able to deploy quickly and bots can't do that. Also don't even think about giving them C-foam.

The game does not have a director AI as far as I'm aware.

Yeah the game is punishing and bs at times I agree, but I don't think there's a game out there that completely avoids this 100%. I think sometimes to make something true to a certain vision (especially regarding difficulty), you have to contend with the fact that yes, sometimes bs happens. Any of the Dark Souls are good examples of this as well.

[shut vapor]

And walk through the enemies

[burnt flume]

people say the only way they could possibly wake something up is missing what they were shooting at and hitting a sleeping enemy

not sure if there's a clip of it in practice (although I do have a different funny clip)

[shut vapor]

Bots don't miss

Their accuracy is to die for

[lavish crane]

last year when I got this game for cheap to play with friends, they all said it was boring and levels took too long and that it was annoying to only move like 5 feet and then ba-bump ba-bump ba-bump sluurp... move 5 feet repeat
I have more patience than them but for christs sake sometimes this is not fair and I understand the pain

[wraith marsh]

I love my no clip and logs as a 500 hour player

[upbeat sail]

you dont actually have to do that for everything

[burnt flume]

that also plays into skill level and understanding

[lavish crane]

yea I know
you can easily clear rooms of regular dudes with melee

[burnt flume]

stealth speeds up a lot more once you start understanding when to be careful and when you can just walk up to something

or when you need to sync things up

[upbeat sail]

even gaints you can though it requires 2 people to do reliably

[shut vapor]

Solo giant killers crying rn

[high ruin]

Yeah that's a fair criticism and what my friends said as well after a while. Some of this could be improved upon by the devs (although don't get any hopes up) but unless it's like a super high threat room, stealth isn't too bad once you just do it enough and realize what does and doesn't wake up enemies.

Manipulating close-range aggro is a good example to prevent an enemy who's glowing kind of far away from waking up. Saving stealth with just walking up to an awakened guy is also big. It doesn't always work but can save rooms from waking for sure. Same with flashing a bunch of guys to sync them.

[gaunt inlet]

Don't worry @lavish crane. I'm close to 100 hours in this game. I have improved but I also have a long ways to go.

Improvise, adapt, overcome

[wraith marsh]

ngl, I strongly recommend watching ppl who are very good at the game do regular clears and trying to figure out what they are doing

it helped me a LOT

[mystic moss]

is this a subtle youtube plug
