gtfo-chat

[modern coral]

It comes every night without fail.

[rose nova]

There are different people every time.

[jade jungle]

do i dare try r2e1 once again

[rose nova]

mayb

[mint light]

Ya got to

[serene jewel]

I feel like I play really bad and I don't know if it's just a ping issue or me

Maybe both

I also have no idea how to use the hammer efficiently outside of stealth, especially in multikills

[mint light]

Well you run, charge while you run, when full you bonk a dude

Then run away from mobs, come back when full charge

[ionic pollen]

As a long time spear-lover recently getting into hammering stuff the key thing for me is that full charge hammer kills smalls anywhere so no need to aim for weak spots except in some tight spots when there's no time for a full charge, and then it's more about getting used to the range and the curve of the strike.

That being said i have speared my way through r1-r3, most of r4, r6 and r7 so (probable unpopular opinion) if you feel comfortable already with another melee just go with that.

[serene jewel]

Yeah my issue is the long charge time

So the strat is to run away while charge, okay

I got used to the knife but I figured hammer is best so I best start learning it early

[ionic pollen]

Ah yes i get it, coming from spear the charge time was pretty similar for me. I feels that the hammer on multi smalls is a lot about movement around the baddies while charging

[trim sail]

while running, hammer with only 50% charge can kill regular enemies if it's a hit in the head. I don't know if spear can do that. For the occiput, around 35-40%.

[earnest forge]

Spear can do that as well

It is more punishing than the Hammer if you miss the head though, since its precision multiplier is quite important

[trim sail]

it's not quite importang imo

it's super inportant

one person missed the charge

the entire team could be wiped out

especially when killing giants

i always smh when i saw a spear user trying to kill regular giants/chickens, but aim for the back, not the occiuput

[earnest forge]

Indeed.

[trim sail]

the other downside of the spear is, its stagger ability is very weak

compare to the hammer

[mint light]

good lad

[ionic pollen]

Hmm personally i haven't really noticed this difference since limb breaks stagger anyhoo

Actually i haven't really noticed any spear/hammer difference in taking out giants

Or say in the method of killing giants

[serene jewel]

If you're behind the giant and aim for a limb for the stagger, you still get back bonus right

[mint light]

You have yet to see the light

[ionic pollen]

I count myself as having seen a glimmer and looking for the light atm

[serene jewel]

Can you get 50% charge off hammer right after a shove

I really want to be able to melee without taking too much damage

[ionic pollen]

Personally i think this is more about movement than the choice of melee weapon

And knowing how the weapon works of course

[mint light]

That's where the movement comes in. you gotta learn to dodge. For giants it's easy as almost every hit will stagger. move out of range and come back in with a swing

[serene jewel]

Eh with knife I can interrupt a striker's attack and one shot them in the head

[mint light]

You don't interrupt with hammer you just sidestep em and give em the bonk

[serene jewel]

For giants it's not possible for me yet because most of the games I find in #lfg-beginners is EU and I get like 300 ping there lol

[mint light]

rip

[serene jewel]

I get smacked for 40 before I can move lol

[mint light]

you can just post in your region

Just menti9n the level and that you beginner

It's not like region lfg's are meant for "experienced" players

[serene jewel]

Ye

But also

Asia is massive

[mint light]

So I heard indeed

[trim sail]

i play with 300 ping all the time and i see no issue

[mint light]

yeah but you see the future

it not count

[trim sail]

bruh

[trim sail]

honestly, there's was a huge debate around this topic

like putting on heavier restriction for players on high tier missions

but devs were afraid of losing players, so...

[mint light]

On high tier. absolutely !!! but no one is preventing you to post R1A1 in lfg asia for example

[trim sail]

um... what's wrong with posting r1a1 in asia ?

[mint light]

nothing: thats my point

That's the point of my statement you Linked to

[trim sail]

anyway, the kind of restriction i'd like to be implemented is the level locking mechanic

wanna play E1? Completed all of the previous PE missions in that rundown first plz

or else, you can't join

[mint light]

It's simple. I host R4E1, someone joins, I ask what's highest clear? , R2C1, Lmfao get out of here

[trim sail]

the thing is, there's a lot of liars out there

you won't tell the difference until you're in the game

and by looking at the way they stealth, then you can 100% sure about their skill level

[mint light]

Thing with your solution is: there isna lot of carried bobo's out there

[trim sail]

i still think it's better than that

[mint light]

Yeah True but I can always call em out there

[trim sail]

i once met a guy

got to r2e1

saw him hesitate to kill a scout and asked me to snipe it

[mint light]

Kick him

[trim sail]

i asked him "how did you get to r2e1 but still afraid of killing scout"

[mint light]

there is a mod for that

[trim sail]

he said "i'm still a newbie"

like wtf ?

[mint light]

Lots of new players also not respecting the game. They be joining a D level as 2nd game : " don worry bro, I'm good at shooters"

[trim sail]

my point is

i don't want god-tier or experienced player in my lobby

i only want "respectful" players

afraid of doing stealthy stuff ? Just try it and we will gladly point out what's wrong and what could have been improved

still afraid and don't want to learn and improve ? fuck off

and here's one type of player that i don't want to talk and just block immediately

"i don't know what's wrong"

dude

you just messed up by your own behavior

how the f*ck could you not know what's wrong with you ?

[mint light]

I mean .....

so many people in denial nowadays

[mint light]

Those are doomed to fail anyways

[trim sail]

i don't put people into my black list because of low skillset

[mint light]

not worth the time

[trim sail]

i put them into it, because they had bad personality

If you're bad at something, accept it and improve. Why bother lying and blame or runaway ?

i can't understand

[serene jewel]

I'm the opposite lmao

Try to kill a scout to show I'm not a fucking noob, thinking I'm hot shit

Fuck up the melee takedown 30% of the time

[trim sail]

shame...

but still acceptable

[sharp owl]

Honestly i would have sniped the scout

[serene jewel]

I use carbine hel gun and leave the sniping to others

[sharp owl]

I've been with people in r2e1 that fucked up the 2 scout room

And this has happened more than once

[serene jewel]

But with the amount of giants that down me I should pack my own large killing option

A scout that gets alerted has to withdraw its feelers before screaming right

[sharp owl]

It screams like 2 frames after it starts withdrawing

You can kill it after it starts withdrawing but baaarely

I've only seen it happen once

[junior latch]

You can for sure get there while being scared of scouts

Theres like 2 zones thats a lot of scouts leading up to e1, 1 you can avoid (r2d1) and 1 you dont rly have to kill

Especially since you can get to r2e1 in under 100 hours easily

[coarse grail]

you counting the r2d2 scouts?

[junior latch]

Me yesterday in r6c2sec

Guy only did r1 before. Then left once we opened mom door 💀

[junior latch]

Yes

[junior latch]

More like 1 second

[coarse grail]

Going red and withdrawing are different tho

[junior latch]

i thought he meant red

[coarse grail]

There is the "snap" you hear where you only have a few frames left, not sure if thats when they withdraw

[junior latch]

if he actually means the snap sound then ye

only a bit of time

[sharp owl]

I mean snap

Red is touching

[trim sail]

um.. sr for asking but

what is a snap ?

[sharp owl]

Withdrawing makes the sound

The sound the scout makes when sucking up his spaghetti

Apparently they call it a snap

[trim sail]

oh ok

[wispy bluff]

Who "they"? I've only seen people reffer to it as a whip (which is what it is)

[sharp owl]

Ellda said snap

Then eva said snap

And then i said snap to not be ambiguous

[coarse grail]

Honestly its not something I've heard talked about that much

[sharp owl]

Then sen asked about what the snap was

And now it's unstoppable

[coarse grail]

I can see it sounding like a whip but a whip generally is an object or a verb, whereas snap is more likely recognised as a sound

[wispy bluff]

Hmmm. Someone should google that.

[sharp owl]

I think we can call it what it is

Suck

Slurp

Slurp is the right term

Ssssslllrrp

[earnest forge]

[sharp owl]

wooo-

[trim sail]

you can suck my... you know

the thing ?

[sharp owl]

No

[true pilot]

you can suck his toes

[mint light]

I respect you for still pubbing

[mint light]

get better teams

[little ridge]

Kinda

There's people I put in blacklist more because of shitty reactions than anything else

[mint light]

You are on my pastalist

[little ridge]

Like the german sperging because someone took the ammopack from r2c2 without having supply efficiency

[mint light]

Who cares. like THAT is gonna cost you the run??

[little ridge]

or the guy that sperged because I woke 1 (UNO, ONE, SINGLE) sleeper in r3b2 before mom room

[little ridge]

I think he was just hardstuck because he kept trying with bots and got frustrated but fuck him anyway

[mint light]

this is what we get for letting the weak play games

[mint light]

You were there to help no? then f him

[little ridge]

Or the fucking guy who whined on me for daring to shoot a single scout that was alone since I was pinging like shit and noone (nor even him) was going for bonk

[mint light]

Not cause he hardstuck that everyone is as bad as him

[mint light]

you could have gone for the bonk 🧐

[little ridge]

The kid who blamed me for using pdw to pull enemies from the foggy big room in r7b3 because "even a single bullet can make the difference!"

[mint light]

This is the best one 😂😂

[little ridge]

No man, if I full charge a sleeper and he doesn't die (nor react) I dont take chances

that's probably missing packets so fuck that

[little ridge]

Want to know the fun fact? he left at midway because he "had to go"

[coarse grail]

his poptarts were done, he couldn't wait

[mint light]

Altho I do remember a dude going ape shit on extraction scan with no alarm because we emptying our mags. "YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN !!!"

[mint light]

does not surprise me

[little ridge]

Man some people get PTSD from some fuckery

[mint light]

bruh some peeps need to chill

[little ridge]

I snicker whenever someone triggers a scout in shit like r1a1 and a newbie goes "We're doomed!"

[mint light]

especially when getting carried.

[little ridge]

Oh no! 12-16 enemies!

[mint light]

Like we did the level, you not! sit down and listen

[coarse grail]

Woke the scouts after the THIRD R6D1 checkpoint!? Shoot each other and restart from checkpoint

[mint light]

Ah OG R6 I had sooooo many lobbies

wake up room: lets restart

scout goes off: lets restart checkpoint

Low on ammo after alarm: lets restart checkpoint

like bruh

[sharp owl]

As long as people aren't arrogant I'm fine with them

[mint light]

And people wonder why I don't pub anymore

[coarse grail]

Yeah personality is more important than skill

[wispy bluff]

What? Its meta. Min-maxing the HP / ammo spending. Not that different from using hammer all the time, amiright.

[sharp owl]

Yes but no

[mint light]

Absolutely. need some good banter BUT also a minimum of skill behind

[coarse grail]

Artek trolling

I can tell the difference

[sharp owl]

One is fun the other is tedious

Hammer is fun

Endless restarts are tedious

[mint light]

Ah I missed the Artek takes

[little ridge]

Y-you have the "Artek Glasses of Truth"?

Impossible!

[coarse grail]

the amiright gives it away

[little ridge]

let me roll again once, for the good old times

[mint light]

you sure? he said stuff before that make me doubt it

[sharp owl]

Takes so hot they melt iridium

Actually when does that melt

[mint light]

Aaaah will be on the lookout for those

[sharp owl]

It tracks

2400c

[mint light]

Go for it

[little ridge]

Shotgun is a bit better than Heavy Smg!

[coarse grail]

But yeah its kinda sad when there is a lobby where everyone is just silent

[little ridge]

18,19,8

[mint light]

Woooooooh

[sharp owl]

Truly

[mint light]

Reminds me bout that meme about how buzzfeed finds their articles

[coarse grail]

At that point player skill does make some difference cos experienced players can go through without needing to communicate much, but trying to organise people who don't want to talk or actively participate in the level is arduous

[sharp owl]

This game's players give me some great belly laughs from time to time

The disconnection between voice chat and in game actions

[mint light]

I can promise my lobby is never silent !!

[little ridge]

Sawed off is INCREDIBLY WORSE than SMG they are completely different! (15,2,6,1 last is coinflip)

[coarse grail]

we had fun times when we ran together 🙂

[mint light]

😏

Still got vid evidence of your scout killing skills

[little ridge]

A bit, yes

And I usually dont talk much

[sharp owl]

What's sad is when people go fast

[little ridge]

But I dislike that since my mind goes "Well I might aswell play with bots"

[sharp owl]

And they wake up the room

[mint light]

depends

[coarse grail]

I still can't believe I got outed in gtfo media by someone else for that too

[mint light]

depends

[sharp owl]

And we take damage

[mint light]

😂😂😂

[sharp owl]

And everyone is just ok with that

Why are you ok with taking damage

[wispy bluff]

Speaking of - i had a GTFO dream tonight. R8 sneak peek, maybe?

[mint light]

If it's part of the bigger picture: so be it

[sharp owl]

No

If we're gonna wake up the room we do it the right way

[little ridge]

Dauda docet

remember the first trailer he mentioned dreaming

[mint light]

Artek is becoming our GTFO medium 😮

[sharp owl]

I'm also having dreams about gtfo

[coarse grail]

I'm with you here really. I like to do rooms fast but with little to no risk of damage, not sprinting in and doing things ACTUALLY as fast as possible

[mint light]

Man you gon enjoy R4E1

sonic be like

[coarse grail]

But I'm sure you can sprint and clear rooms and get hit and still be fine

obviously

[little ridge]

Cause I regen to 20 anyway

I'll just heal before alarms

[mint light]

👆👆👆👆👆

why peeps not understand this

[sharp owl]

Mf do you spawn at 20 hp

[mint light]

wait till you do R5E1 then

[sharp owl]

Lets waste a collective 320 hp

[mint light]

then we talk

[sharp owl]

That sounds reasonable

[coarse grail]

Yeah but then all these rushing barbarians eat all the medpacks and I have to spend the whole run at 76% hp 😠

[mint light]

unnacceptable !!

[wispy bluff]

Scouts got upgraded into women. Assets and all, even could talk to you which was terrifying (not, not in that way, like actually). Spear wasn't doing shit either.
On a plus note i found and swaped GTFO Bullpup for... the AUG Bullpup. Hm.

[little ridge]

What I dislike is when I have 21% or 81%

[sharp owl]

Exactly

[coarse grail]

yep, you get no prio or last prio for heals 😄

[sharp owl]

Whuh

[mint light]

man keep your fantasies to yourself..... altho Spear thing.. might not have been a dream actually

[sharp owl]

Upgraded into women

[coarse grail]

literal fever dream wth xD

[sharp owl]

What did he mean by this

[wispy bluff]

I went full charge to the head and it just mocked me in a patronising way

[junior latch]

Can i get those kinda players pls?

[coarse grail]

Never go straight for head Artek, you'll get mocked for sure

[little ridge]

you want American zoomers lobby?

[sharp owl]

I had a gtfo dream where we were sneaking and a sleeper started glowing and i went "shhh, quiet!"

And then with perfect comedic timing i get harsly woken up by our actual alarm going off in our house

[little ridge]

Just say the magic spell "For real for real nocap deadass monkas" three times before posting in lfg-na

[coarse grail]

No Eva you only get sane rational experienced boring players

[sharp owl]

Nearly gave me a heart attack

[little ridge]

the only lfg where you find people schizoposting long ass chats with their lfg post to clutter the interface

[junior latch]

It happens

As long as it doesnt cost a run

[junior latch]

Tbf i got npcs recently. That was pain since it was r4c2

[little ridge]

I also remember a guy confirming everything I was saying

And somehow that got on my nerves at a certain point

[coarse grail]

Yes, that would get on your nerves

[little ridge]

I'd like explain how enemies spawn and whatnot and he'll go "Yes, yes, that's right!"

every time

[coarse grail]

He's fact checking you 😂

[wispy bluff]

Ah, i thought it was cooler than that

"Scout on the left"
"Scout on the left: confirmed"

[mint light]

Yeah you need to seduce em first at least

or have money

[little ridge]

No that's a coinflip on giving newbies a biotracker

"Sleepers at 200 degrees north!"

[wispy bluff]

No, but actually it was kinda terrifying.

[coarse grail]

I have a cluster of bogies 15m out on our right flank!

[wispy bluff]

Picture a sleeping room and there's an awake entity and it just B-lines for you on sight.

[coarse grail]

Its kinda funny having paranoid people sometimes

[wispy bluff]

Just imagine scout coming for you with intent, not blindly.

[coarse grail]

Who aggressively tell you to turn your light off and stay away from tentacles

[little ridge]

Especially when then I begin opening doors, shooting once, close it and mine it

and watch as they panic

[wispy bluff]

oh actually

I suddenyl recognised the animation set

Like stalkers from Killing Floor 2

[mint light]

they like : fuck fuck fuck fuck .

then boom...

oh is that it??

[little ridge]

"This guy is a genius!"

[mint light]

A real GTFO maestro !!!

[little ridge]

A Churchill of the Complex!

[coarse grail]

then you know next game they are gonna take mines and do it to every single room

[wispy bluff]

You people react to newbies like parents react to their children

[mint light]

It do be like that sometimes tbh

[little ridge]

I was like that once, then I realized I could get away with a lot of shit in this game if I knew which strings to pull and how to pull them

Stealth? fuck it let's bonk shit and run in a circle

[coarse grail]

You know us, Artek. Kind and patient shepherds trying to make the new generation productive and skilled

[mint light]

patient cough cough

He man is a real one, Posts for R2E1 and specifies: No mods, bring mic and brain

Love that dude

[coarse grail]

What if I only have one of the two? 😦

[wispy bluff]

Actually this one is kinda fair, especially if you're new.

Sure, we all know that it never happens or at worst they just throw a charger surge at you when you touch the scan and call it a day.

But what really stops them from, i don't know, suddenly locking out the scan and sending 3 tanks your way.

Honestly kinda lame they never did that.

Oh, actually! They can just surprise teleport you.

Don't even need to relocate the scan.

[coarse grail]

It would be funny if they did a fake extract

[mint light]

Then you OUT

[lunar oriole]

After a bit of a hiatus from the game because exams I return with the glorious entrance of managing to solo R1B1 at my 3rd try

[coarse grail]

nice one

[lunar oriole]

In total it has been roughly 7 tries soloing R1A1 and 11 tries for R1B1

now for R1C1

If there is a pattern then it should take me 15 L's before i beat it

[coarse grail]

C1 is probably the hardest level in R1 to solo

[lunar oriole]

Reactor level?

[coarse grail]

yep

[lunar oriole]

Well. I did get challenged last time I said Id solo R1B1 to solo a reactor level

might as well get it done with

[coarse grail]

R3A3 would probs be easier but you do you

[lunar oriole]

I gotta do all of R1 first

[wintry compass]

Hi there a new player here, is there someone that would be willing to get me in to this game?

[coarse grail]

.t lfg

[foggy plank]

Hello! If you are unaware, we have Looking For Group (LFG) channels to help users group up and play the game. They are located here: #lfg-north-america / #lfg-latin-america / #lfg-eastern-europe / #lfg-western-europe / #lfg-asia / #lfg-oceania / #lfg-africa / #lfg-beginners.

[coarse grail]

Hello! Try posting in #lfg-beginners for this 🙂

[wintry compass]

oops haven't seen that channel thank you !

[sharp owl]

D1?

How we doin d1

Isn't that just a reactor with a tougher extract

[coarse grail]

D1 is reactor shutdown

Fighting 8 full reactor waves solo is gonna be harder than what D1 throws at you

[sharp owl]

What is d1 again

I remember it being an extraction

[coarse grail]

its 3 alarms and then reactor shutdown with shadows

[sharp owl]

Oh

I remember it being harder

Prolly cause i was new

[mint light]

It's just some scans and a shadow extract

Nothing really exciting

[sharp owl]

Sure is exciting when you're a new player

[mint light]

Ofc that is exactly why new players should play R1 first. imagine doing it after coming from R5 or R7 or smt

It would be bland as hell

[sharp owl]

Ye

[mint light]

For first timers tho. the shadow plot twist is great imo

But yeah other than that... 15 -20 min and done

[sharp owl]

Oh it is

I was so amazed when it happened

Like what

[mint light]

Yeah am afraid not a lot of those moments left for you now in the game

[sharp owl]

Thanks. I'm so grateful for sucu inspiring words

[mint light]

No worries am there for that

[coarse grail]

What have and haven't you done, Elbow?

[mint light]

Couple of unique rooms for you to see and then you one of us

[sharp owl]

R1, r2, r3, r4 up to b2, r7 up to c1, r6 extras and b levels

And like some random stuff from r6

I don't think I've touched 5

[mint light]

Might as well keep it for last. it's the hardest

[sharp owl]

Ok

[coarse grail]

mm well there are a few interesting bits remaining

[mint light]

Oh done R2E1? well One less unique room to see

[sharp owl]

The most interesting bits remaining is the 2026 optimization patch

[sharp owl]

No

Listen

I have done e1

Up until the last stupid door

The extraction is right there

But no. Surge

[mint light]

Yeah but baby zone is the unique room. so you seen it

[sharp owl]

Yeah right

[mint light]

Last surge is so easy tho 😭

Just man up and finish the job

[sharp owl]

Tell that to my fucking framerate

[mint light]

I have faith in you. you try at least. you'll get it

[mint light]

Actually seeing his clears. he still has 2 enemies to see

[sly totem]

How long does matchmaking normally take around this time just curious I'm brand new and been waiting for abit

[sharp owl]

in game MM will take ages

use lfgs in here

.t lfg

[foggy plank]

Hello! If you are unaware, we have Looking For Group (LFG) channels to help users group up and play the game. They are located here: #lfg-north-america / #lfg-latin-america / #lfg-eastern-europe / #lfg-western-europe / #lfg-asia / #lfg-oceania / #lfg-africa / #lfg-beginners.

[sly totem]

Ohhh fair fair thank you! Yeah been waiting in game mm for a while

[sharp owl]

you eventually will get a game but might not be what u expect

use #lfg-beginners and ask not to be carried

[sly totem]

Sounds good thank you!

[serene jewel]

@sly totem R1A1 is probably the best start

it's the first ever level

[sly totem]

Ooo thank you so much yeah I was wondering which rundown would be best to begin

[serene jewel]

Yeah, the expeditions are separated by tiers, A to E

the deeper you go, the more difficult

[ionic pollen]

I have a friend who's going to get gtfo when it's next on sale and I've been thinking about this some, as in which rundown to start with when he gets it

Currently I'm actually leaning towards r6

[wispy bluff]

R6 is a great hook, but then you risk of boring him with R1-3 because of how bland they are in comparison.

No optionals, no teleport...

[ionic pollen]

To this i agree somewhat, but there's also the risk of the guy getting bored of the basic gameplay loop during r1-r3, quitting and missing out on the fancier stuff

[last parrot]

actually i found it to be enough

plus it has the proper (cool) introductions to enemies

[wispy bluff]

Why not try with R1, then if he voices boredom - jump to R6 to show new features.

[ionic pollen]

This is actually a great idea

Damn

Didn't even cross my mind, thanks!

Cause i do also really like the clear storyline of r2-r3 missions, and the intros of the special baddies

[wispy bluff]

A clear is a clear, a drip is a drip

[junior latch]

well
R6 is a better pull, but its worse if he will like the game for sure

R1 is the worse pull but gets them a better build up

Also, checkpoints kinda goofy for beginners to think off as a common thing

[wispy bluff]

That one in particular is painful yeah

"what do you mean this one hour mission of high difficulty has 0 checkpoints"

[junior latch]

Also to keep in mind
These are the (imo) best intros for some of the enemies

Big striker - r2b2 if scary, otherwise any A tier with them
Shadows - r6bx
Chargers - r1c2
Scouts - r7b1 probably
Mom - r3b2
Tank - r4d2(sleep), r6d1 (active)
Flyers - r6ax/r6b1

so dont do smth like r5a2pe before r3b2

[quartz cape]

personally, I think you should play some e tiers with cconsole first to get the feel for the game before going back to the other levels

[sharp siren]

if you think the framerate its bad there, you gotta thank god you didnt play the original

because now that shit its optimize

[vestal crystal]

Samdown.....

[sharp siren]

what

[ionic pollen]

It is yeah, I'm hoping he wouldn't think it a common thing but a feature that drops away after progressing

[vestal crystal]

Samdown....

[quartz cape]

great rundown hope the cfoam ladder gets added back soon

[sharp siren]

the cfoam launcher and its consequences on the GTFO community

[flat perch]

they only released r6 to stop r5c1 ladder from crying all the time

[sharp owl]

Hmm

When does this feature come to the rest of the game

[sharp owl]

[silver spade]

dw I optimized most of the levels

[vestal crystal]

[silver spade]

T2-D3 and T4-E1 all got reworked to be way smaller. T3-E3 had tiles changed to provide more fps in certain spots

[vestal crystal]

was t4e1 cuna

[silver spade]

Blame Largest boy for spreading that to the chinese community

[silver spade]

Yes, it used to have 19 zones, now it has 12

[vestal crystal]

i cunat see shiet in that map

[analog flicker]

[silver spade]

Blame 10CC dumb lighting changes

but dw its just your monitor settings according to D0c R3d

omegaLUL

[vestal crystal]

true

[pine root]

Honestly for certain bullshit modded maps this is the way

[quartz cape]

"im gonna make a rundown better than the devs" ☝️ 🤓

[pine root]

How many ladders must I add

To be better than the devs

[quartz cape]

no ladders in modded levels

(you cannot cheese them)

[pine root]

I cry I wish to let the people c foam ladders

[quartz cape]

For great modded levels you need to have either:
a. reactor
b. reactor
c. reactor
d. carry 6 heavy items

[pine root]

Reactors must be good levels then

Maybe we could make just a longer version of r1c1

like 45 waves instead of 8

[wispy bluff]

Why do I feel like its been made

[pine root]

Well because copy pasting 50 reactor waves would be easy

[quartz cape]

its great level design

[pine root]

What about heavy items

Why stop at 6

We could do more

[quartz cape]

great idea

lets make some of them damage you to carry them too

i cant believe no one thought of this before

[silk blade]

Carry the reactor core mission

Whoever's holding it takes constant 1% radiation damage every few seconds

[pine root]

Oh yeah and if you drop them it should start an error

[last parrot]

surge error

[sharp owl]

This seems awesome

Can't wait to see the solo

[true pilot]

thats boring, you should have all of these at once, without checkpoints BUT with i n t e n d e d checkpoint bugs, as well as a lot of R7D1 overload style shenanigans... and 8 pablos so its 2 for everyone

[flat perch]

that would be a nice tutorial

[true pilot]

and with charger giants conveniently next to locked boxes AND you have to have the knife equipped

and you start with no ammo

meleeing giant chargers with knife fun

[flat perch]

usain bolt wants to stagger like dem bbc's do

[gray pilot]

16 Uplinks and they always come from one direction

[junior latch]

all class 20 tho right?

[true pilot]

eva why 20?

give them 200

[lone kestrel]

I can’t believe nobody has suggested this yet but what if we got shadow Pablo

[junior latch]

So pablo?

[lone kestrel]

Nah the pings work but he should be invisible for this idea

That way you HAVE to bio it

[junior latch]

listen to itc

Flashlights?

[lone kestrel]

Yeah but obv diff lighting could make it tricky

[burnt flume]

I'm not sure if we should make a boring enemy even more boring

[gray pilot]

Double squid fight

🤯

[pine root]

Quad squid fight but you move twice as fast and there is no cover

[pine root]

Lockout two did this tbh

[silk blade]

shadow kraken when

[pine root]

@wicked solstice you copy pasta is wrong flyier is the most compatible

[true pilot]

for the love of god dont talk about it

[junior latch]

any facts? Or just heresy?

[pine root]

It is better to die on my feet than live on my knees

[quartz cape]

you dont have knees

[true pilot]

im sure the bbcs would like to see you on your knees

[quartz cape]

try a funny joke next time

[true pilot]

whats a funny joke

i have been led to believe a funny joke is a lie

it does not exist

and it will never exist

[pine root]

Flyers both come in forms as big as the charger giant and smaller ie more to choose from. There is thousands more flyers than bbcs. Flier shape and body are just better

[merry sluice]

I mean the flyer eye does look "inviting" if you get what I mean

[pine root]

See this guy gets it

[junior latch]

thats just by comparing flyers to bbcs
Not flyers to chargers

also imagine being as fragile as flyers

[pine root]

There is thousands of them break one there is hundreds of replacements

[merry sluice]

Like a cheap fleshlight.

[pine root]

okay

We have gone to far

[merry sluice]

Okay take that back

Too far

[pine root]

I will be taking my ban now

[junior latch]

probably more chargers than flyers in the complex rn

[pine root]

Entire planet population

[true pilot]

the mods arent looking, apreciate your freedom while it lasts

[pine root]

Of fliers

[pine root]

I didn’t say anything explicit

[junior latch]

Thats guessing

[pine root]

Lore would agree with me

[junior latch]

We got cannon chargers amounts

[true pilot]

wanna add a *yet *there?... No?... yeah i know

[quartz cape]

i think this conversation should be taken to #gtfo-lore

[true pilot]

NO

[pine root]

It is more appropriate there

[true pilot]

NO

[pine root]

How is this not lore related

[west sable]

does rule 6 count crashing?

[true pilot]

do not bring... doing *that * to sleepers lore to the lore channel

[pine root]

Wdym mean

Like someone crashed your game?

[west sable]

It’s off topic not a game thing

It’s about the discord profile

[pine root]

What is crashing?( pls don’t make this one of these jokes)

[west sable]

u don’t know?

[pine root]

Yup

[west sable]

Basically it kicks you out of something

[pine root]

Oh

Nvm I see

[quartz cape]

how is that related to rule 6

[west sable]

idk

it might I just don’t know

[pine root]

@wicked solstice are we allow to have a discord crash in your profile

That crashes discord when someone clicks on me

Dak will tell us

[west sable]

That’s good

[quartz cape]

someone ask d0c

[wicked solstice]

uhhh I think we’d prefer that to not be there but I don’t think there’s a rule explicitly against it

Idk how that even works lol

[pine root]

Yeah seems about it right

[pine root]

Click on shadow

[west sable]

It only crashers on phone

[wicked solstice]

I’m good

It did nothing

[pine root]

Oh emoji thing?

This is funny

[wicked solstice]

[west sable]

wait it doesn’t crash me

[wicked solstice]

It didn’t crash me

[pine root]

It isn’t intended but it takes skill to pull of so we are leaving it

[wicked solstice]

Sound’s like a skill issue

[west sable]

I think they fixed it

[west sable]

game on xbox when

[wicked solstice]

no

[quartz cape]

never

[west sable]

😢

[lone kestrel]

if it's invisible u can run but you can't hide

[lone kestrel]

what'ss lockout two

is it a game enhancer

[pine root]

Macadd game enhancer for r5

[wicked solstice]

*R7

[pine root]

Maybe I am think of the old one

One of the a teirs had a bunch of invisible invulnerable giants

[wicked solstice]

That’s not Lockout 2

[pine root]

Ah lockout one

Very cool

[bleak pilot]

i just found out they fixed r6d2 secondary, and im annoyed by it

[earnest forge]

?

I have to admit I have not played it for a while ; what did they "fix" about it ?

Is it the corrupted uplink one ?

[burnt flume]

what are the chances of someone using AI gen images for their poster, that'd be very cool and not at all an insult

[modern coral]

I can't believe they fixed terminal passwords but not reactor codes.

[quartz cape]

if you get the code, then die and checkpoint, the code will now be different

[earnest forge]

Ah, the fact that reloading on checkpoint changes them

I see

It should indeed be the same for Reactors

But oh well.

[bleak pilot]

[earnest forge]

Yes, Uplinks got fixed a couple rundowns ago ; we are still waiting for Reactors to be as well

[pine root]

Not uplinks terminal passcode

[earnest forge]

These, alright

[vernal nebula]

Wallpaper from the recent announcement looks great

[jagged trail]

nice GAME ANNOUNCEMENT

[wispy bluff]

I know, right?

Should've been #community-news

[rose nova]

me just watchin a stream of gtfo cause bored: oh my god is that el oscuroeva

they r everywhere

[and also zander is there]

[languid sand]

yo, alt R6A1 and B1 have audio talking to us on some checkpoints no? it didnt play for me but I remember it being part of the OG run

[rose nova]

they used to but in ALT r6 they dont anymore and i think they are instead logs in terminals

mostly cause they made the scans way slower and were a bit annoyin so that got, fixed on this version of the rundown

[green rivet]

Guys, are we allowed to form opinions on a community contest?

Or are opinions forbidden

[languid sand]

thanks

[rose nova]

dont do onions or opinions unless u do em like joe pino

el opina con criterio y eluciencia y jamas pide clemencia si le acuzan de demencia

[silk blade]

@candid jay what is ptc2

[rose nova]

by the name

think its a mod

[balmy moat]

@earnest forge Not gonna lie putting submissions in #gtfo-media may not be the best idea

It's gonna be overshadowed by actual in-game content

[earnest forge]

I know

[balmy moat]

You're gonna have to scroll regardless

[earnest forge]

But well, what is done is done

[balmy moat]

Might wanna bring it up with Calle

[green rivet]

Who’s Joe pino

[earnest forge]

If we can just have a couple messages, it is fine, then the rest can go somewhere else

[silk blade]

It's still early, you could make a channel for submissions only

[earnest forge]

You can count on Calle to go through the channel anyway

[coarse torrent]

anyone else unable to start gtfo rn?

[rose nova]

the best opinioner

[wispy bluff]

Steam dead, probably weekly maintenance

[green rivet]

I’ll go take notes. Thank you sir

[rose nova]

everyone should b like joe pino fr

[coarse torrent]

oh its a steam thing, any idea how long it might take?

[silk blade]

No more than today I'd guess

[balmy moat]

An hour or 2

Usually

[coarse torrent]

kk thanks a lot

[wispy bluff]

It doesn't take longer than 30 minutes in my experience

They're just resetting their server room or whatever

[balmy moat]

Last week's was hella bad

[rose nova]

was helluva bad a ahaha ahahaha sorry

[junior latch]

right tuesdays

tuesday evenings man

they be ass

[rose nova]

they be tuesdays

toastdays even

truedays

[heady peak]

bruh how do i match make it says to copy id to clipboard but i dont see it?

[rose nova]

um yeah when u click it it should automatically copy and u should be able to paste it in a text message
are u playin from geforce now? if not try checkin ur clipboard manually

[heady peak]

im playing from steam?

[rose nova]

and it doesnt copy it?

[heady peak]

nah i just dont see it

[wispy bluff]

Have you tried relogging the game just in case? Steam had a maintenance restart about 30 minutes ago.

[heady peak]

Yeah i did. im confused

[rose nova]

but ok my english comprehension its not great but from what i get, it does copy the code but u do not see it in-game
in which case its normal the game doesnt let u see the ID, it just lets u paste it on a text channel in like discord n stuff

[burnt flume]

Move your mouse to the right, like, past the boundary of the screen

Alternatively, press escape and see if it appears there

[heady peak]

let me send u a screenshot

[wide moss]

Literally most functional valve server

Only one that gets maintenance

Even though it’s just that

[ripe thunder]

sus

[lost lynx]

oh, so it was steam

i was restarting my router like crazy

i thought it was my internet

[charred ember]

theres problem with my ears

i cant hear anything on my left ears

pretty sure it possible to clear some stuff while half deaf right?

[wispy bluff]

Sure

[simple wave]

most probably

[sharp owl]

Today i and another 3 folk attemted r4c2 pe

And honestly we got pretty far considering how badly we fucked up

[mint light]

You ça do the whole game without hearing one sound

[mint light]

I hate that level

[wispy bluff]

Eh, too much work.

[mint light]

long and boring

[sharp owl]

I thought it was fun

It was painful ly long though yes

[mint light]

R4C3PE NOW there is fun

[sharp owl]

The map was just jesus Christ

[wispy bluff]

Yeah...

[mint light]

it's not hard, it's just L.O.N.G

[charred ember]

i think the only map i managed to PE is R5B1

[sharp owl]

Looong

[charred ember]

and that is with like the best player here tbh

[sharp owl]

Also my framerate again didn't like that level

[mint light]

I doubt it, I don't pub anymore

[coarse grail]

who is that? 😄

[charred ember]

Voidspace and Black Dwagon

[wispy bluff]

Of course

[sharp owl]

Humblest veteran

[mint light]

It was an easy one

I like the easy ones

[sharp owl]

We take those

[charred ember]

thou i dont understand some stuff Voidspace is saying

he said that he got infected but i dont see it

[sharp owl]

He go infected

Go infected go

Do you see the sleeper?

[charred ember]

something about being knocked down make u infected?

[sharp owl]

Sleeper no sleeping! Sleeper no sleeping!

[wispy bluff]

Sounds like vet gaslight to me

[mint light]

Depends where you're knocked down

[coarse grail]

maybe he fell over in the gas

[charred ember]

probably. Theres a lot of fog later on

kinda fucked up theres no disinfect station

[coarse grail]

R5B1 is such a painful level

Main is fun and so is the reactor

everything else is annoying

[mint light]

nah that is good. you better watch out

[mint light]

Just say sec 😂

[charred ember]

ikr! theres giant charger error alarm, 7 code reactor and area with just fucking toxic fog and chargerf

i made a right choice when i bring hel rifle cuz it shred during the reactor

[coarse grail]

Well not exactly, theres such a long way to walk to the reactor too

random filler zones

[charred ember]

hip fire the hel rifle turn out to be a very good idea

[wispy bluff]

Not preferable, but could be worse

[grizzled bison]

LOL

[wraith marsh]

void and bd are the best gtfo players, its official

[serene jewel]

Do you need a fully charged headshot with the hammer to kill a scout

[wraith marsh]

no but its pretty close

[serene jewel]

Ah shit I should change my nickname for now

[wraith marsh]

back of the head you have a lot more lenience

[serene jewel]

Yeah I'd like to know the breakpoints

With knife it was easy cause it's just one lmao

Fully charged hit to the occciput or else you're screwed

[wraith marsh]

just full charge it

[wispy bluff]

Just go full, to make sure.

[little ridge]

Well hammer doesn't charge slow tbh

[serene jewel]

Hammer is just head right

[proud glade]

no reason to not full charge it

[little ridge]

just full charge and jump before bonk

[proud glade]

I'd never risk that

[serene jewel]

Doesn't have to be the back

[proud glade]

back has more damage

[wispy bluff]

Yes, none of the melees can oneshot a scout without a headshot.

[serene jewel]

Yeah but

[wraith marsh]

by no I mean its

[serene jewel]

Alright thanks

[wraith marsh]

less than full charge

hammer is overkill

[wispy bluff]

Hammer is 20x2=40, at best.

[wraith marsh]

but theres no reason to play with that shit

[serene jewel]

Can hammer one tap smalls in the head with no charge

[wispy bluff]

Scout is precisely 42 HP. Presumably to counter these.

[little ridge]

shooters occiput yes, everything else no

needs perfect occiput

[burnt flume]

if you get perfect back damage on a shooter and hit head, yeah

[wispy bluff]

Which also means that a small 5% melee damage booster will allow you to just backstab it.

[burnt flume]

everything else nah

[serene jewel]

ah ok

so only strikers can be tapped in the head

[little ridge]

only shooters

and only occiput

[serene jewel]

did I get it the other way

oh

[little ridge]

if we mean onetap nocharge

[wispy bluff]

Ironically spear can't do it

[serene jewel]

I misunderstood completely

[wispy bluff]

Which is omega cringe

[little ridge]

otherwise just charge a bit with hammer to onetap striker's occiput

[median rivet]

So you’re telling me I need 3 hammers

[wispy bluff]

Only 2 actually, in perfect sync.

It's a rare and niche skill, but can come in useful.

[mint light]

Best would be 4

[ruby temple]

Dont they have 40

Or did they get buffed

[wraith marsh]

It's 42

[ruby temple]

Wait whoops

I thought the head multiplier is 2×

So bonk bonk deals 40 to just nice perfectly kill it

[coarse grail]

42

[proud glade]

so what's the deal with revives

it used to be that you got rezzed and could just walk away, now you get stuck for a second or two before you can move

[modern coral]

I don't think it's changed, tbh

[pine root]

Must have

[burnt flume]

when was this?

[pine root]

This dude has a perfect memory, he is strong can bench 4000 lb do everything without effort. Why can’t he skip the get up animation

[charred ember]

sleepo is really good too!

i see them speed stealth a bumch of giant

[wraith marsh]

Gtfo chatters discover once again that you can be good at games

[novel kernel]

You ever wondered what the intercepted audio transmissions are when selecting a level?

[wispy bluff]

Of course

[novel kernel]

Makes me think they're previous prisoners who died attempting it

[wispy bluff]

That was the original idea, I'm sure

But there's no in game evidence for it

No corpses, no opened door, no signs of struggle or fighting.

At this point there's a higher chance that it's intercepted comms from our own very squad... Or, well, the other version of it.

[novel kernel]

If the warden views prisoners as expendable then are the 4 we play as their most successful team?

[wispy bluff]

Allegedly.

[novel kernel]

Considering they've made it through 7 rundowns and came.out alive

[wispy bluff]

But no direct evidence.

[wispy bluff]

Yeah, about that...

Have you played R6CX yet

[novel kernel]

No

[wispy bluff]

You should.

The final room before extraction has a very interesting piece of environmental story telling in it.

[novel kernel]

Might be a while before I get there since I'm playing in order

[wispy bluff]

Fair

[novel kernel]

But hopefully there's more lore added soon

[wispy bluff]

R8 got a lot to answer, that's for sure.

When you have free time - just go to wiki and start reading logs in order, from alt R1 and onwards. You'll catch up real quick.

Actually no... Original rundown 6 and onwards. That's where the plot really starts

Or just drop by #gtfo-lore

There's even a short summary in pinned messages.

[novel kernel]

Didn't know that was a channel thanks

just some advice!
always ask to not be carried, make sure that everyone joinin ur lobby joins ur voice channel
and if you are new to the game be sure to do the tutorial first [Training] and start on rundown 1 since its the simplest one

[sharp owl]

most likely

[sharp owl]

well we objectively still are alive

despite those

our team is most likely plot-armor goated

[obsidian abyss]

Should I buy discord nitro to get a really cool new logo

[steel marsh]

nah

[lunar oriole]

ok, i had a few shots at R1C1 solo

i am getting perma overrun xd

i am gonna try a new strat this time around after much deliberation, i think i have a good shot at this

[little ridge]

Thank you

[little ridge]

I know you mean the flair on the mission select, but the actual audio (the whispers you hear) are always the same and are based on the original alpha level's data (depth and whatnot).

[terse swift]

do you hate yourself

i can't imagine doing that level solo

[earnest forge]

If you need help, call line...

At least try it as a duo. It makes a world of difference

Not everyone can hit every single shot

[sharp owl]

Hella hard to do solo, but that level is alot of fun

Defending on the bridge was so epic for my friends. And i

[sharp owl]

i wonder how many missions you can take 4x burst sentry on and then go afk

R6c1

R7d2 maybd

[balmy moat]

Any level but R4E1

[pine root]

A lot of levels but you might need to do things

[rough robin]

d2?? i feel like you'd get bulldozed

oh wait you can get shadows on that level can't you

wait then it wouldn't target

[rose nova]

very scaler of u

[sharp owl]

reset until chargers

melee tank/mom

[sharp owl]

How does one adequately murder a tank

There was one in r4c1 i think and all i was doing was getting licked while it was facing me the whole time

Barely got half a mag in

[wispy bluff]

Lure him into a big room with a lot of cover, spread 2x2 and take turns shooting him in the balls

[burnt flume]

If you're alone, you want to take high ground

[sharp owl]

They die surprisingly fast

[wispy bluff]

And yeah, soloing tanks i assume it very stupid and not at all how game expects the fight to go.

But taking the high ground helps for certain.

[sharp owl]

Both times I've came across them they were dead within 10-20 seconds

Not so tanky

[mystic moss]

people are way better at killing tanks nowadays

[sharp owl]

Idk if my team was crazy good or if they just die fast

[wraith marsh]

they can take a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long time to kill with some teams

[mystic moss]

client moment

[sharp owl]

Whys that

Vox

[wispy bluff]

Having a sniper / precision rifle / scatter on team helps a lot

[sharp owl]

Wait

Tumours get precision dmg

[wispy bluff]

Yes.

[sharp owl]

PR my beloved

[silk blade]

There's a way to one shot tanks

[sharp owl]

Can you stagger moms n tanks

[silk blade]

Placing 8 mines on a roof at an angle so that they hit the back of the tank will kill it

[burnt flume]

7 mines

[silk blade]

True

Forgot that

[burnt flume]

Can be on the wall instead of ceiling

[silk blade]

I thought it wouldn't hit the back from the walls

[burnt flume]

It can still hit tumours

[wispy bluff]

Its a coin toss, but if you win - you get to skip the fight.

If you don't however - you just used 7 mines for shits and giggles

[sharp owl]

Today i had an incredible moment where i scouted ahead, saw a mom, went "Hey guys be REALLY careful in this room, there's a mom"

And then i completely forgot and sprinted infront of her waking her uo and wasting roughly all of our ammo

Real life HSU induced memory loss

[wraith marsh]

how did you waste all your ammo on a mom

[burnt flume]

It's mostly down to your setup and not luck

But eh fuck this I'm going to slee0

Edp

Sleep

Typing on mobile bad

Bye

[wraith marsh]

so true

mobile moment

[silk blade]

Mine based combat is cool

The giant cluster solo technique is real

[wispy bluff]

Sure it is...

[silk blade]

So is the room clear domino

[sharp owl]

You were so preoccupied with whether you could you didn't think if you should

[silk blade]

Idk I think clearing an entire room with clever mine placement is cool

[sharp owl]

However i have to admit that it would be awesome

[silk blade]

Set it up right and the first mine you shoot triggers all the others in sequence

Evaporating an entire room

[sharp owl]

But at the same time melee os the solution to this problem

[silk blade]

But melee is less cool

[sharp owl]

Agreed

[silk blade]

Blowing up a room full of sleepers with one bullet is cool

4 mine deployers will be optimal I promise you

[sharp owl]

🎶 cool guys don't look at explosions 🎼

[modern coral]

I've been in R7E1s where the tanks cost all of our ammo and yet both are alive. Similar on R7D2, some people do not understand the concept of taking aggro and will gravitate towards the same side as other players.

[sharp owl]

So my team was really good

[modern coral]

Tbh I think the average pub environment these days leans towards sweatier players for w/e reason.

[trim sail]

sweatier ?

[modern coral]

They are gaming a greater amount than the average gamer.

[sharp owl]

My first encounter with a tank was it trying to clobber one player and 2 getting to magdump its back

My second encounter was the same but i was getting clobbered

[trim sail]

could not agree more

[sharp owl]

They are trying hard one might even say

[wraith marsh]

were you playing with the best gtfo players

voidspace and black dragon

[sharp owl]

No

[shut vapor]

I'm the best player

[trim sail]

i only know ray is my god-tier teammate

but for some reason he still shot me at the extraction

[sharp owl]

I was playing with 1 guy who didn't know what tanks were, 1 guy who knew what they were and 1 guy who knew the level

[modern coral]

That was pink, wtf

I can'

t one-shot w/ PR

[trim sail]

shame...

i have been betrayed by my loved one

idk what you guys opinion on this but

everytime i join a lobby

and someone ask "if you played this level before"

suddenly i just want to leave that lobby

[modern coral]

It's a bit annoying.

[trim sail]

i kinda understand when you ask that question on high tier missions

but the thing is

if you already knew it's a very hard mission

why bother finding people in public

then don't trust them ?

[modern coral]

They're probably pub only, and what to be able to adapt to the local skill level.

You also have to remember, every pub group that you experience in-game is a pub group that you are in.

The pub experience outside of that can be wildly different.

[trim sail]

yeah

[wispy bluff]

Its just a piece of information they need to know to calculate the possibility of victory and how much they have to babysit, i'm going to guess.

[trim sail]

you don't need that tiny piece of information tbh

[wraith marsh]

just say no

[trim sail]

you only need to believe in yourself to the very core

[mystic moss]

real

[trim sail]

believe in yourself -> better contribution to the team

just take a moment and think about it

you want to play with teammates who firmly believe in their fundamentals

or someone who keep asking nonsens questions and display anxiety towards the level/teammates ?

[wraith marsh]

welcome to the internet

everyone has anxiety

[modern coral]

I dunno if that immediately entails anxiety.

[wispy bluff]

I honestly don't see the big deal... Its a question. They don't even leave the lobby after you say no.

[trim sail]

it's not a big deal

like ray said, it's a bit of annoying

[mystic moss]

if you pub a level long enough surely you'll get the clear??

[wispy bluff]

Of course in my limited anecdotal experience it was never said in an asshole way

[trim sail]

this

is the fact

[modern coral]

It's still annoying, though.

It's a "pub" thing to say, even.

[wispy bluff]

That it is. Fairly certain i asked that question like 2 times maybe.

[wraith marsh]

idk, depends on the tone

[mystic moss]

guys what boosters do you recommend I bring

[wraith marsh]

to me its like gtfo small talk

[modern coral]

I'd rather have no expectations and just be allowed to play the game, usually.

Also, sometimes the follow-up is something like "oh, can you lead us through this?"

Mfer, do it yourself.

[wispy bluff]

There is always 1 guy who's blind, 1 guy who wiped, and 1 guy who got the rundown helmet already

75% chance its a clear

[balmy moat]

Depends on the meaning of "pub" to be fair

I remember when I was a noob and couldn't clear R7C3 and pubbed it for weeks without getting nowhere until Jish had to come back again and carry my ass

Was pure coincidence

Does that still count as a pub?

[wraith marsh]

scripted pub

[modern coral]

I mean, that is the goal of pubbing things if you're a bad player that isn't making improvements (hopefully it's a mix, though).

[balmy moat]

I didn't know Jish back then save the 1st time he joined my pub lobby

[coarse grail]

I don't get what's bad about asking if people have played the level before?

[balmy moat]

Sent him a friend req after we failed to clear it 2 hours checkpoint

[modern coral]

It's just a frustrating question.

There's not really an answer I'd like to give, and usually it's better to just lie and say no, first time.

[balmy moat]

Each pub team kept alerting scouts lol

[coarse grail]

What's so bad about saying yes?

[balmy moat]

I wasn't that bad but bad enough where I didn't know how to kite

[modern coral]

Adds expectations to me.
Sometimes adds extra demands on me.
etc.

In the levels where it's an annoying question, it's usually some piss easy shit where I just want to vibe for 30m-1h

[modern coral]

Tbf, that's more the component of certain levels being more or less carry-friendly.

R7C3 is a pubslayer, R4C3 is a pubslayer, R5E1 is a pubslayer.
