i need a group ;-;

[silk blade]

Doesn't hammer shove take stamina

It does 5%

Knife takes 0

[burnt flume]

it doesn't stop stamina regen though

so your stamina doesnt actually go up

[rose nova]

u can always dm back people u played with in the lfg

[rose nova]

only spear

[mossy nova]

i forgor who it wass

[rose nova]

um

damn

[junior latch]

i never checked if this was actually fixed, but it should be

[visual lily]

Do you guys poop then whipe and the flush or do you poop flush and then whipe

[sharp owl]

bidet

[lusty river]

Wait, you guys wipe?

[sharp owl]

[lusty river]

[burnt flume]

This isn't even the first time you've asked this question, stop being creepy

[bright crane]

💀

[sharp owl]

is it surprising that some trolls exist?

[cursive bane]

=^=

[hidden path]

Do you bite the sandwich first and then grab it? Or do you grab it first and then take a bite?

[glacial scaffold]

IDK what the numbers mean, and at this point i'm too scared to ask

THE NUMBERS MASON

just got the game, the tutorial probably doesn't give this game justice does it?

[lusty river]

The training is alright, wish they included a shooting range in it or something to test weapons

[visual lily]

Give me an answere

I have to know

[severe bear]

Guys, do you know any fix for the bug where you cannot open anything or interact with anything? It happens quite often and is super frustrating

[sharp owl]

disconnnect and reconnect

[sick patio]

Anyone who speaks Portuguese to play? I'm BR

[rose nova]

u can check #hc-latin-america for a br server !

[pine root]

are you client or host

[tulip wharf]

anyone want to play? i have 3 and need a 4th

[halcyon obsidian]

Is r2d1 fucked up for anyone else? After playing for about an hour, our audio cuts out permanently, then your game will crash if you open the map.

[rose nova]

hello! u can check the LFG channels to share n join lobbies! the instructions are in https://discord.com/channels/408196129470152705/653623062964731920

just some advice!
always ask to not be carried, make sure that everyone joinin ur lobby joins ur voice channel

[rose nova]

i thinkk its spitter bug, happens a lot on that level cause it has a ton fuck of those
but it is fucked and usually, just kinda needs the person to relaunch

[halcyon obsidian]

We had the host rejoin, which fixed it. However, that caused the fog to bug raise all the way to the ceiling. Pretty much died after that

[rose nova]

oh
weird

at what point of the expedition where u

like still not like in the ending right

[halcyon obsidian]

4/5 cells

No

We got almost all the way in our next run, so we know how the fog works

[rose nova]

no yeah ok then it just, fucked, maybs the save from host migration just kinda was confused at wha point of the mission it was

but well hpe it doesnt happen in ur next run

or at least not to the host

since clients can just rejoin

[glacial scaffold]

dis game hard

lost the first mission twice haha

[rose nova]

lots !

[halcyon obsidian]

Yeah. We have to go again some point, we all died in the extraction scan. Didn’t have the sentries and two players were dry on ammo

[glacial scaffold]

also... does um... is there more customization?

[halcyon obsidian]

Wdym

[rose nova]

its ok, everyone dies in the first mission
also um theres only clothing

but u unlock it by completin levels

[pine root]

did you go to the reasource room

[glacial scaffold]

lol so good luck to me haha

[rose nova]

dont worry u will get it :3

[halcyon obsidian]

We did, that’s the generator powered door, right?

[pine root]

yeah

[rose nova]

yeh

[junior latch]

spitter audio bug 💀

also try to not have host leave unless they might crash anyway

[halcyon obsidian]

Host crashed

[junior latch]

host migration usually is pretty bad and leads to a ton of issues

[glacial scaffold]

so what are tehse things?

[halcyon obsidian]

Yeah, host crashed and migration led to bugged fog

[tulip wharf]

lf1m

[rose nova]

sleepers? lil buddies that have virus in em basically

[pine root]

can spitter bug happen as host?

[halcyon obsidian]

Yes, it happened to all of us

[junior latch]

what you struggle with now is what you will mop up enemies with later

[rose nova]

hello! u can check the LFG channels, those r where u put those messages, the instructions are in https://discord.com/channels/408196129470152705/653623062964731920

[junior latch]

i think so?

[pine root]

what did you do werid?

does it happen every time?

[junior latch]

actually yes it definetly can

i had it happen to me before on r2b4 in a lobby i always host in

[halcyon obsidian]

Yeah, it happens every time, but very suddenly after a certain amount of time

[pine root]

DW

[rose nova]

think only time i had spitter bug was r2d1 right in the ending and i crashed right before the end alarm but luckily i, never never host

[pine root]

I AM ON THE CASE

[rose nova]

thank u heehoo

[dense sierra]

AI future

:))))

[rose nova]

no

thanksi already ate

[supple nexus]

i played gtfo for the first time & wanna mention that this community is incredible & ty for the help

[rose nova]

:D

im glad u had such a good time

[sharp owl]

Can someone explain to me how melee works in detail because i'm very slightly sick and tired of this shit happening over and over again whenever i'm not using the sledgehammer #gtfo-media message

[wispy bluff]

Host or client?

[sharp owl]

take a wild guess (host)

[wispy bluff]

You hit back. Should've jumped.

[burnt flume]

swing trajectory

[sharp owl]

what about not jumping

[wispy bluff]

Scott hitboxes are cringe like that.

[burnt flume]

if you're not gonna jump, then you probably want to swing before getting into range because funny melee mechanics

[rose nova]

so melees arent hit scan on a single point on the screen, but their hitbox follows an animation
specifically the animation of the own melee, hammer doesnt go to the center but starts from the top and then goes back down
knife goes from the bottom right to top left, and bat, kinda goes side by side
problem is the head ur aiming its very up ahead, scout is taller than you, and by doin the side to side you just hit very low
thats why it always recommended to jump, having a hammer spear or knife, its safer

theres the really detailed explanation

[sharp owl]

so the only solution is to jump

[rose nova]

actually if u check the video slowly u can see the hitmarker being SUPER low

pretty much

or being, above em

[burnt flume]

attacks within range should be hitscan, but not for the first frame of the attack

[rose nova]

like on a catwalk

[wispy bluff]

Also attacking from front helps ironically enough, but then again - bat doesn't have that privelege.

[glacial scaffold]

god someone play with me plz

i'm lonely

[burnt flume]

so you could start the attack earlier and then get into range, and get the hit theoretically

[sharp owl]

matchmake in channels

[rose nova]

think i already did this but

[rose nova]

hello! u can check the LFG channels to share n join lobbies! the instructions are in https://discord.com/channels/408196129470152705/653623062964731920

just some advice!
always ask to not be carried, make sure that everyone joinin ur lobby joins ur voice channel

[sharp owl]

i dont like meleeing scouts

[rose nova]

spray its called lfg >:b spray

[sharp owl]

its either take hammer or get jank'd

fuckin

[rose nova]

not really, its not super hard to melee a scout with a bat

its, scary

but not that hard

also u can just shoot it too

[sharp owl]

it's hard in comparison

[burnt flume]

really it should be fine if you jump

[sharp owl]

hammer just aim above the head and that's it

[rose nova]

both the guns u had in that clip wouldve killed it

[wispy bluff]

Hey, spear is perfectly fine for scouting too.

[rose nova]

not by a lot really

[sharp owl]

i know that

[burnt flume]

I'll hop into one of the vcs at the bottom of the server and see what I can do with bat w/o jumping

[wispy bluff]

Getting kills from elevated positions is great.

[rose nova]

tbh with hammer u should be, jumpin too

just in case

i see a lot of vets jumpin with it

[shut vapor]

Consider: mines

[rose nova]

nah :3

[wispy bluff]

Probably with spear too, just in case.

[sharp owl]

I had guns

[wraith marsh]

if your reticle gets small when aiming with melee

[sharp owl]

i purposely tried meleeing it to try and improve

[wraith marsh]

you will perform a hitscan attack, no arc whatsoever

[rose nova]

tbh the sprint with spear would make me miss more if i jumped but that may be my skill issue

[sharp owl]

ok

[wraith marsh]

if you dont it will follow the regular arc

even if you aim at the enemy afterwards

bat has less range than sledge

but you can encounter that issue with sledge too

lots of ppl do tbh

its why nobody likes killing scouts that are above them

[rose nova]

does it work like that
i swear i had knife hits that go to the shoulder regardless of the reticle

[burnt flume]

Not for the first frame iirc

[wicked solstice]

Knife is known to clip shoulders and necks

Idk why?

[burnt flume]

I think you should be fine as long as you stand a little bit further away @sharp owl

[wicked solstice]

But it is

Or jump

[rose nova]

i mean, i always guessed the trajectory
but if its hitscan then wtf

[burnt flume]

Anyhow my pc stopped displaying graphic output after I alt tabbed while returning to lobby

[wraith marsh]

let me go check

[wicked solstice]

Jumping is a surefire way yo hit scout heads with knife

[wraith marsh]

even if it is first frame it shouldnt matter tho

cuz knife hitbox is literally behind you to the right

on first frame

[wicked solstice]

It’s not even about frames

From my experience it just hits from the bottom right

[burnt flume]

Where's rayalot when you need hik

Him

[rose nova]

hik :3

[wicked solstice]

and can clip shoulders

[wicked solstice]

Hi ray

[wraith marsh]

yeah im not referring to you dak

[wicked solstice]

ah ok

[balmy moat]

My man didn’t jump

[wraith marsh]

didnt jump or hitscan

[rose nova]

jumpin its scary but after the first few heartstoppin times its not, that bad

and then u get the hang of it

[balmy moat]

How tf is it scary

???

[rose nova]

everything its scary startinf out

goin for a scout walkin with spear its scary the first times

lol

ur like 'im gonna miss im gonna miss im gonna miss'

[balmy moat]

No…?

[rose nova]

and then u, might or not miss and then u feel relaxed

[rose nova]

mh ok mr no feelings of horror >:b
im jokin

im just a fuckin chicken

[balmy moat]

If you understand the basics enough in theory you should be able to execute fairly fine

But scared?

[wraith marsh]

wow ok knife double kill isnt that bad to do

[balmy moat]

To me that’s just a bit dumb

[rose nova]

thank u

[burnt flume]

time to return to the vc and farm more scouts with abt

but old messages from ray suggest that the melee hitscan check does not work for the first frame

however long a frame is, I do not know

but it is a thing

[rose nova]

i didnt know at all it was hitscan

thats so weird

[wraith marsh]

the range is so small ppl preswing a lot

which leads to most knife problems

[burnt flume]

I feel like the preswing is what most people do to avoid the jank hitbox/no hitscan on first frame

or you just aim fucking weirdly to compensate for it

[wraith marsh]

no hitscan is just from aiming wrong or is directly from swinging early

if you take the time to make sure its correct (which no one is going to)

it works fine

im gonna see how stupid of double kills knife can do with the back hitbox

[burnt flume]

@modern coral can you please explain melee hitscan/hitboxes/no hitscan on the first frame

because it's relevant to this

anyway for hitting scouts with bat without jumping I think you just wait until the head is in the right position

otherwise good luck hitting that high

[modern coral]

Melee has both a hitbox and a hitscan check that it uses to hit enemies.

[balmy moat]

Ray the savior has arrived

[modern coral]

The hitscan check takes priority over the hitbox when it has a target, but that priority doesn't work on the first frame that the hitbox is active.

So if the hitbox is starting on top of something that it can hit, it will hit that even if you're in range for hitscan.

[burnt flume]

thank you big man

[pine root]

do you know if people can get spitter bug when they are alone in lobby

[last parrot]

dont use bat

[wraith marsh]

the knife user:

[rose nova]

:b

bat pro based melee

[grizzled bison]

HITSCAN CROSSHAIR MAKES MELEE HIT TARGET

@sharp owl HITSCAN THE CROSSHAIR MAKE IT SMALLER GET THE HIT

[modern coral]

No clue

[last parrot]

#gtfo-media message

read it and weep

[burnt flume]

Still pales in comparison to Hammer, old or new

[wraith marsh]

love that you get fucked by the hitbox in the clip

[burnt flume]

Old was funnier for taking heads quickly

[last parrot]

then also use hitbox to gaming

[quartz cape]

just found out that you can use melee to hit enemies

[last parrot]

(0:11)

[grizzled bison]

it just looks like you're missing

[wraith marsh]

also im so proud

you finally cut your clip

[last parrot]

switched from xbox game bar to steelseries gg

[grizzled bison]

alright you're trolling

[quartz cape]

try stadia

[last parrot]

no

[wraith marsh]

beep read it and weeped

[upbeat sail]

I was auguring it takes significantly longer

[wraith marsh]

yes...

I am saying you bumrushing a tank with scattergun and shooting it twice

you can also bumrush a tank with sniper and shoot it 3 times

[fluid mango]

one time i bumrushed a tank and died

[upbeat sail]

it has to be targeting someone else to do it saddly

[pine root]

#gtfo-media message

does it?

[upbeat sail]

to do it reliably

[fluid mango]

dont they normally target whoever is closest?

[pine root]

first los and whoever shot it last

[pine root]

this is very consistent tbh

[upbeat sail]

go do it in a pub with 300ms latency

[pine root]

it will be easier

[junior latch]

Scatter does 150 more dmg per magazine in theory vs a tank

But thats if all pellets hit and 0 fall off

man, rly showing it to that tank after the first tumor pops and you miss 30% at least

[wraith marsh]

150 more?

isnt it 110

[pine root]

you just kill tank in 4

[upbeat sail]

I have not had issues with this in practice

[pine root]

two rotations

[wraith marsh]

byeah it is 4 shots vs technically 7

[upbeat sail]

other then if the center cluster of tumors is popped you mag dump the last one with your primary instead of reloading

[wraith marsh]

but youre better off doing 6 + some other source of damage

aka both are 2 mags

[junior latch]

I miss typed and did 0.78 for prec multi

[pine root]

WHAT COLOR IS THE BLOD BOOSTER

[gray pilot]

pink

[pine root]

QUICKLY
I need to know

Although it shows as dark blue in the booster menu

[pine root]

DARK BLUE IS JUST WROG

[sharp owl]

Even the message shows dark blue

[pine root]

[unreal crystal]

i hate u rick

[pine root]

Beth it is your birthday you should have told me

Celebration 🎉

Yippee

[unreal crystal]

jish the bold booster is pink

[pine root]

I agree

anyone who thinks otherwise is colour blind

[gray pilot]

it really depends on your monitor settings

[wraith marsh]

the in game one is also definitely the same color as the boosters menu

[sharp owl]

Now that my pc is good I'm going to try and clear r1 solo

Already did a1 and b1 first try

Always carry your bed time plushie just in case

Do you know how to stop enemies from showing up way late

Wym

[fallow rampart]

open among us lobby PPNJLG

[sharp owl]

Alert ends and 1 whole ass minute later a striker shows up and screams in the room I'm stealthing

Buddy took his time

It was probably 2 minutes tbh

And it fucked me over

How do I avoid

[fallow rampart]

join open among us lobby PPNJLG

or turn up the music / watch ur pulse to see when theyre still alive

when no enemies are alive, your pulse cant go above 90 or so

[sharp owl]

Dunno why it happens but I've only seen it when playing with people

[trim heath]

I had a random ||flyer|| follow me all the way ||into the zone behind the shadow zone while I was getting 3rd code|| on r7e1 once

like

it went past 3 people

I was 3 rooms away

[sharp owl]

Do flyers scream 🤔

[trim heath]

idk I killed it and nothing else woke up

was awkward to do while holding a turbine and getting hemmed in by 2 scouts

ofc panic set in and I was like 3 seconds late getting the code

[ivory violet]

anyone got room for one more to play gtfo?

[rose nova]

[sharp owl]

You didn't wipe did you

[trim heath]

nah we did

prob didn't have ammo to redo wave 3

tbh prob didnt have ammo to do wave 4

still a bit slow on 3 and 4, need to do codes more

[inland abyss]

yo

thinking about getting this game but no friends that own it. Worth it or nah?

[sharp owl]

Imma keep it real with you

If u want to have fun

Get friends to play with

Otherwise

You won't have much good time

Seeing the toxic behavior lately

[rose nova]

i think if ur willin to play with randoms on this server, u could enjoy it, and maybs find ur own group of friens to play with regularly

[inland abyss]

hmm okay, maybe ill try it out and see how it gos

been grinding darktide and ready or not, wanted to mix it up

[rose nova]

u can always buy it, play the training [the tutorial], and run a run or two on the first level

if its not up ur alley or dont enjoy some part of it like the sneakin

u can refund it, by that point it should b like a lil less than 2 hours

[inland abyss]

yeah true, i think thats what ill try

[rose nova]

yeh
well, if u plan to use the discord to find people, just some advice :3

theres so much gayming in the server ah

[mortal coral]

Ingame matchmaking does not work right

[sharp owl]

It does but it takes ages and the experience is some else

[rose nova]

yeh so its better to use the LFG channels

[rose nova]

.t gtfo

[foggy plank]

The game is called GTFO and it doesn't stand for "Get The Fuck Out" but rather the feeling you have that you want to complete The Warden's objective and GTFO.

[sharp owl]

The game stands for get the fuck out

Stop the cope

[inland abyss]

So i got it and played the training and the first mission solo. Not bad actually, pretty cool idea. I spent like 20 minutes searching the same room for HSU 152 before i realized it was staring me in the face the whole time 🤦‍♂️ died right before extract

[thick temple]

is definitely a kinda cyclical "definition" they've got going on there

[rose nova]

yeah the, hsu is funky to find

but hey! thats very good for like ur first runs

and solo

[thick temple]

yeah the giant beans are much sneakier than anyone expects them to be

[rose nova]

qwq they blend in too well

[topaz ridge]

#gtfo-media

:D

[ivory radish]

Hello, i own GTFO since release and yesterday i finaly started playing it (cos of bots). Im a bit confused, there are 6 rundowns, are they all just different levels or do they also have unique things to them?

[serene jewel]

There are 7 rundowns actually

different levels and unique things to them are kinda the same thing?

ah damn ping too high sorry @prisma shoal

[prisma shoal]

all good gamer

[rough robin]

yes they're basically chapters. as you go up in number, they get more mechanically complex / more enemy types

[topaz ridge]

the rundowns are like a series of levels, each one gets a little more difficult

completing one expedition and/or completing all of them gets you an apparel piece

[unreal crystal]

ppl kinda misleading you here, the difficulty doesn’t necessarily go up with each rundown or anything, the alt ones are just from early access and were brought back recently, easiest ones to start with would be like r1 and r3, hardest are gonna be r4 and r5. You can also run through the A and B tiers of each rundown if you want, doesn’t really matter which order you do it all in.

[ivory radish]

thanks for all the answers. havent even managed to finish first level of first rundown 😄

[topaz ridge]

thats ok

practice makes perfect

[modern coral]

Going out of order is arguably better so that you don't get hyper-fixated on something that's a bit much for your current skill level.

[serene jewel]

The letters are the difficulty; the deeper you go the more difficult

A>B>C and so on

[mint light]

keep in mind that even with the addition of bots. you still can't do this game solo. you will need to hop into games with others

[mint light]

This is also False information as the difficulty goes from ez to hard: R1 -> R3 -> R2/R6-> R7-> R4->R5 @ivory radish

[topaz ridge]

thats.....what i meant?

also quit being a smartass for once, geez

[ivory radish]

@mint lightthanks, its atleast now manageable with bots. finished the first mission of rundown 1. Before that,it was nearly impossible without bots + solo

[mint light]

stop saying weird shit like needing boosters for R6D1 .... bruh

[mint light]

no worries, later on it will be impossible with bots, thats what I meant

[topaz ridge]

stop thinking im like you - a good player that doesnt need boosters...

i need boosters because i want to have boosters, that way itll be easier for me to complete the rundowns.

not every player in this server is a god tier player, man

[mint light]

God tier .... mah man.

[topaz ridge]

yeah
hope you learned your lesson

:(

[ivory radish]

@mint lightwhy? are there many more enemys or what exactly is harder?

[earnest forge]

Higher tier expeditions contain more diverse enemies, more complex challenges and some are time-limited.

[mint light]

There are more enemies and the levels get SIGNIFICANTLY harder.

No one has ever managed (legit that is)

[junior latch]

you.. do not have to be god tier to clear everything lol

also nothing against DJ, but hes certainly not god tier (just to clarify, neither am i)

[topaz ridge]

EXACTLY
that makes it more difficult

for me at least

[junior latch]

thats the point, stuff being more difficult on the higher tier expeditions

[topaz ridge]

THATS WHAT I WAS SAYING THIS WHOLE TIME

[junior latch]

none of the levels are balanced around boosters tho
Or even around pog aim tbh

[earnest forge]

This.

The levels are balanced around a 4-player team, working together at beating increasingly difficult challenges

[topaz ridge]

they make it a little better
but not much that it balances it completely

ye

[junior latch]

wat

[topaz ridge]

you know what i mean

[junior latch]

i dont

[topaz ridge]

its still fuck-hard
but a teeny bit less

[earnest forge]

Boosters are meant to help support you in case you need some help with specific gameplay elements you struggle with the most.
They are in no way required to complete the game, even for average players like me.

[hushed edge]

Hello im tu Russian server disscord invate plias ( im sorri friend )

[junior latch]

if it its only minor impact, why not practice a tad bit and clear them then

(just to clarify, while i dont like boosters, i dont mind people using them if they feel like they cant get further without)

[earnest forge]

See #hc-europe

[high ruin]

If you throw on boosters with no stacking or just kind of quickly without caring too much, then yeah.
But if you consciously stack them for effect, it gets nutty pretty quickly.

[hushed edge]

fenks ^^

[junior latch]

tbh boosters scale with player skill (as do many game mechanics)

[ivory radish]

do you keep boosters that you find in a mission if you die?

[junior latch]

yes

[topaz ridge]

for me its either damage or resist boosters

also thank you for being nice and not picking on me

[earnest forge]

Most people can reply constructively ; feel free to ignore those who cannot

[topaz ridge]

ye you help a lot

[ivory radish]

do most people just run around randomly or do you actualy need to use the terminals?

[topaz ridge]

use the terminals for locating items if you want

query (xxx)
ping (xxx) usually works

[high ruin]

For sure. I don't wanna pick on nobody.

But I'm also certified as the worst player in the entire gtfo community so ya know............

[topaz ridge]

hey same here

im farming boosters thats how bad i am

[coarse grail]

using the terminals is an absolute must

[high ruin]

As I've played overtime, I generally find myself not caring about them as much, even upon seeing aggressives. They're also somewhat dependent upon knowing level structure, because once you at least know what the objective type is or alarm types are, they become more of a nice-to-have than a critical thing for completion.

[coarse grail]

Its pretty much necessary to route properly and find the keys/cells/whatever you need. it also massively speeds up the process of finding resources

[junior latch]

honestly a general advice id give for that, instead of playing to farm boosters (which takes time itself)

practice doing solo runs and improve. Its fun on one side to challenge yourself and furthers skill growth a lot
And you potentially can still get some boosters with it

[high ruin]

With bots or actual solo?

[little ridge]

Depends on what you mean

Here's how it roughly works: inside missions you find artifacts, artifacts gives you booster progress, after a certain progress you get a booster when you return to the lobby (either by dying and quitting or finishing the level, retiring to lobby manually doesn't do that IIRC)

[topaz ridge]

either one

[little ridge]

If you slot a booster and start a mission (there's a grace time I think of some seconds after you begin) if you complete the level or fail, the booster goes kaput

if it's a 3 use it'll become 2 use and whatnot

[topaz ridge]

ye

[little ridge]

This tbh but don't think TOO much about it

playing solo (no bots) it's good so that you finally learn how to stealth and most of the mechanics around that

without someone else fucking up or covering for your mistakes

[uneven cedar]

Solo runs

are actually

traumatizing.

But also speed clearing rooms with a knife on a solo run is so much fun

I love le knife.

[high ruin]

They're pretty rough when you haven't played that way before. Particularly the alarms. It's all on you and solo holding really exposes how well you can aim or just manage multiple enemies.

[little ridge]

Alarms are the main though part

[uneven cedar]

I think I just pick the wrong guns

[high ruin]

Yes indeed

[uneven cedar]

I may of started today cause of my cousin but like shh

[little ridge]

I guess if I was an headshot machine I could do stuff like r2a1's second alarm without needing to kite

but they spawn so close I always need to route around and close some doors to finish the scans

[uneven cedar]

The very first area's first alarm is a pain.

Being trapped in a room

[little ridge]

Mayhaps luckier scans would also help

[jovial nebula]

Been playing this for 2-3 days right before bed and I'm honestly having full on panic dreams. What even is this game and why is it so addicting XD

[uneven cedar]

Idk

For me

its the knife

The feeling of just running through 4 sleeping enemies is so nice :)

[jovial nebula]

Like, I've played a bit of Dead Space Remake this morning to see how it is, and actually thought " oh this is actually kinda relaxing after gtfo "

[uneven cedar]

Can I say

I love the Shelling Arid 5

Its my favorite.

[jovial nebula]

its soo goood damn

deadass one of the best game handguns I've seen

[high ruin]

High cal went from really good to ehhhhhhhh to pretty good again over the last year or so.

[uneven cedar]

Good or bad

its just the pistols feel yknow?

[jovial nebula]

yeah exactly

[uneven cedar]

Shooting it feels nice to my brain.

It goo ":D"

when I shoot it.

[high ruin]

its fun

[jovial nebula]

I also love how the characters are basically wearing burlap sacks but carry all these immaculately designed hi tech weapons XD

[uneven cedar]

Dude if you could like combo the Arid with the knife cod style

itd be so nice.

Whole knife under the gun type deal

[junior latch]

Actual solo

[topaz ridge]

i like having the bullpup rifle with the high cal pistol :D

its such a nice feel

[uneven cedar]

I'll try ir

[topaz ridge]

i like the bat better bc light attacks do stagger damage

but knife go wheee

[little ridge]

I keep reading bc as burst cannon

[burnt flume]

Retiring to lobby gives booster progress, exiting expedition does not

[little ridge]

for quitting I meant for the cp missions

but I guess your wording clarifies it better

[burnt flume]

Ah I getcha

[ruby fiber]

Some guy join GTFO-06 30 mins ago and is unresponsive and AFK

[ivory radish]

can players join games in progress?

[coarse grail]

yes

[ivory radish]

@coarse grailso when i launch a solo game, other people could join? i would like that

[coarse grail]

Thats right

[little ridge]

which makes it not solo but ok xD

[flat perch]

make sure u have a slot that's not locked, players // players and bots

[coarse grail]

As long as you have other slots set to players or players/bots

[ivory radish]

i need to click on host lobby right? then jusdt set them all to bots/players and launch?

[coarse grail]

solo (with bots) (with players)

[coarse grail]

Yep

Noone is gonna join if you don't make an lfg post in the right channel ofc

[ivory radish]

thank you! now im happy to launch a solo game cos i know real people could join

[little ridge]

Generically dont give lobby IDs unless you're sure they joined the vc

if they're not responding in vc just change vc I guess

[flat perch]

steam friends can always just "join game", turns to fun when you're scanning a tough one and then the teamscan clicks away waiting for player 2 to drop elevator.. 😄

[ivory radish]

@coarse grailjust to clarify, what i mean is that people can join my game via match making once i started?!

[ruby fiber]

ty, we've switched and started already

[flat perch]

(i did that to my brother back in r5, he wiped on an alarm cos i surprise-joined)

[little ridge]

yes

[coarse grail]

Sure I guess, I don't recommend using in the in game matchmaking but you could get a bite

[ivory radish]

are always the same doors locked via key or is that random too?

[coarse grail]

Fixed but the key location might vary

[ivory radish]

is there a limit on how often you can revive someone?

[coarse grail]

no

[little ridge]

no

[ivory radish]

oh wow, that actualy makes the game way more easy

[mint light]

Through matchmaking it won't happen, or its EXTREMELY rare. you'll need to give people your lobby code. so to actively go get them

[mint light]

Going down is so common it balances out

and there is the snowball effect. one goes down, players panic/can't hold anymore, 2nd goes down etc etc

[ivory radish]

are bots able to use bio scanner at all?

[mint light]

they even cheat with it

Give the bio to a bot. always

No human can be as good with bio as bots

[ivory radish]

@mint lightoh ok, i gave 2 sentrys to bots and wasnt sure what to give to the last one

[mint light]

bio. 2 burst sentries I hope. the other 3 are garbage or niche

sniper is niche/situational. auto and shotty are a waste of a tool slot

[ivory radish]

@mint lightthanks that are some good tips. I remember that i played it some years ago on release, all solo and thought this is just how it is haha

now with the 3 bots its actualy manageable

[mint light]

Yeah till you hit the wall 😅

[sharp siren]

play with people

its way better

[ivory radish]

@sharp sirencant use voice, so i rather play solo

[sharp siren]

i play with a friend who dont have a mic

nobody cares

and if they do 99% of the time that person will be the issue in that team

so dont be afraid

youll experience the game better and have more fun

[mint light]

again. solo you won't finish this game

[sharp siren]

reach further

[mint light]

ever

[sharp siren]

bots are filler

for people who already have atleast 1 friend playing the game

you can see my guide 😉

[ivory radish]

not sure if most people use voice or text chat but with text chat i would be able to communicate

[sharp siren]

aslong as you say something atleast on text or with the voice commands

you good

[mint light]

You can use text if you want or use the voice commands.

Just say before hand you got no mic

And you gucci

[sharp siren]

or just host your lobby

simpler and you can filter people out

[ivory radish]

@mint lighti got a mic, i am deaf, so i wont understand anyone

[mint light]

As sub_saharan_dragon says if people make a problem of it. they are the problem

[ivory radish]

are all missions within an rundown the same difficulty?

[mint light]

no

A easy to E very hard

[ivory radish]

@mint lightso first rundown/first mission is like the most easiest one in the game? 😄

[mint light]

R7A1 is easier than R1A1 actually

and difficulty is not linear

as in R7 is not hardest

R5 is

[ivory radish]

what exactly is an expedition? is that the same as a rundown?

[wispy bluff]

Rundown = campaign / set of expeditions.
Expedition = mission / level.

Just local flavour of the same.

[ivory radish]

oh ok, thanks!

[mint light]

Also overall rundown difficulty from ez to hard: R1 -> R3 -> R2/R6 -> R7 -> R4 -> R5

As you see it's not linear and each rundown does it's own thing difficulty wise

[ivory radish]

@mint lightthanks, first i need to somehow win any mission 😛

[coarse grail]

Dj you wanna run something?

[mint light]

Make your way through R1 it's the basics. it will be pretty chill

[mint light]

What you had in mind? can't right now but meaby later

[coarse grail]

Could duo something or just look for some random pub level

[mint light]

Did R5E1 new version yesterday

Man the snatchers add nothing

[coarse grail]

I kinda want to do cell skip but we'd want a strong team for that

[mint light]

and the removal of the tank makes the blood a fucking joke

[coarse grail]

Not done it before

[mint light]

That could be a good challenge

[ivory radish]

do meele charges do damage based on theyr charge meter? like 70% full = 70% damage?

[coarse grail]

it has a cubic scaling... meaning most of the damage increase comes at the very end

But also they have a minimum damage it starts scaling from too

Hammer scales from 3-20 over its charge duration but 50% is probs something like 5 damage

[wispy bluff]

Really? Hm. I thought it was linear.

[coarse grail]

https://gtfo.fandom.com/wiki/Melee

[mint light]

I'll let you know if I am up for a game later

[coarse grail]

sure, no guarantee for my availability later on but let me know

[wispy bluff]

That would explain why half-charging in middle of combat feels like ass sometimes... Because it probably deals like 5 damage

[mint light]

Alright

[sharp owl]

hi

i'm gonna attempt to do r1c1 true solo again

any advice for weapons or strategy

[balmy moat]

Cook with AR Choke Mod

Stella never got around to doing it

So I’m missing out on content

[sharp owl]

aint no way ill be able to pull that off

gonna attempt with hel revo and hel gun

and i died on the second wave

sick

ok but actually what weapons do i take for this

i guess veruta and sawed off would be easiest

[junior latch]

wat

[sharp owl]

what weapons do i take for this mission

could you please provide some recomendations thank you

[coarse grail]

I'll start going through the weapon combinations in order and let you know how I get on

[mint light]

in 20 min?

[coarse grail]

Yeah sure

[sharp owl]

ellda is chill like that

[mint light]

let see what we find

[coarse grail]

Elbow u wanna come play R5E1 with us?

[sharp owl]

sure

definitely wont be a burden

[junior latch]

i did it with carbine/hel rifle

Spam down and pen + giga range
Only ever issue was hybrids spawning

[sharp owl]

vc?

[coarse grail]

Yeah will do when Dj is ready

Eva you coming?

[sharp owl]

gotcha

[junior latch]

Id be there in ~20 min if you guys can wait that long

would love to join

currently working on finishing my food

[coarse grail]

That should be fine, Dj isn't ready rn either

[burnt flume]

I don't suppose you're cell skipping

[coarse grail]

That was the intention

[burnt flume]

oooh nice

[coarse grail]

I've not done it before so would like to try

[burnt flume]

it feels easier than it did before the changes to the mission were patched through, which is a shame

[sharp owl]

cant wait to have no idea what the hell's going on for 2 hours

[burnt flume]

eh don't worry it's only like 9 zones of substance, and then 2 zones to end it off

[coarse grail]

I heard you have to jump over the cell

Not sure what that means but I think we can do it

[sharp owl]

i like how i brought carbine on r1c1

then i failed the reload cancel 5 times in a row

and promptly perished

i gotta get used to these higher frames

imagine if our prisoners were actually smart

isntead of throwing a fog repeller on the ground activate it and attach it to your pack or armor or anywhere

turn on a long range flashlight and toss it on the ground to illuminate an area permanently

keep your stupid headlamp turned on while youre using a weapon so you can always see infront of you no matter where your gun is pointed

highly trained soldiers right here

[junior latch]

carbine reload cancel rly isnt needed

[sharp owl]

yeah im just used to doing it

[balmy moat]

Yes it’s jump frog but in video games

I fully believe in you jumping over the cell

[coarse grail]

Okay thats fine I was a long jump in the sports day

[balmy moat]

[junior latch]

@coarse grail im ready now whenever

[coarse grail]

31

[maiden sinew]

How come this game has such a small amount of active players? (Compared to the loads of reviews and great ratings)

I feel like it deserves more attention and recognition honestly

[ivory radish]

its to hard and ninche. Also it has no match making at release

[maiden sinew]

Imo the only thing making it niche is the difficulty. In the end it is a left for dead style game, but way more tactical

[rose nova]

theres a lot of people that like the game, but the difficulty eventually beats em one of their friends dont play anymore, so the whole group stops
those types of situations :b

also in steam forums for some reason they kinda throw a lot to the discord, tho im not sure why i am not the in the drama

i like being here but idk

[burnt flume]

time to check if there's been much happening on steam forum, never check them

[craggy vale]

tactical games in general iirc tend to have lower player counts

add to that the difficulty and the fact you can't really play the game solo

and it's certainly not helping the game's player count

[rose nova]

not the hardest levels at least

[coarse grail]

@mint light you about yet? In 31 when you are

[rose nova]

wow u old :3

sorry i had to

[craggy vale]

also while there's definately some broad similarities to l4d

l4d's a lot more arcade style then this

it's really fun but it's a lot less focused on tactical elements then this game is

which eh

different games are designed to be played different ways

[rose nova]

its part of the essence of gtfo but yeah one requires the player to give out a lot more

[craggy vale]

also hello I am completely new

trying to do my first rundown

[rose nova]

hello :3

nice

much good luck on ur runs

[craggy vale]

I will not have it and I will likely die horrendously but thank you for the encouragement

[maiden sinew]

I guess you're right

[rose nova]

eh well maybs after dyin horribly :D

[maiden sinew]

Me and my friend have only done 2 successful rundowns, but it's fun ngl now that we've learned some more mechanics and strategies

The bots can be a bit dumb at times but they're fine

[craggy vale]

eh let's try it out then see how the bots do for me

[rose nova]

they funky to work with but they r fine

the fact that they do not wake anythin up its really nice

just a reminder of my own skill issue

:3

[wispy bluff]

Bots range from "walking turret by my side" to "oh my god, wtf are you doing"

[craggy vale]

I'm gonna guess that's a measure to stop nav mesh weirdness from activating a packed room and potentially killing you?

[rose nova]

yeah :]

... and cause it would be weird if they did ngl

[wispy bluff]

More so to compensate that their AI does not understand stealth

[rose nova]

for me they range from 'thank u for savin the run' to 'well time to go take a nap'

[wispy bluff]

They move all over the place, constantly phase through enemies, kiss scouts, open fire whenever they feel like it

Game would be unplayable if they actually tried to do stealth

[rose nova]

they dont open fire whenever

only when the room wakes up or the last enemy in the room does

[or u got awake enemies behind]

[craggy vale]

eh stealth's not exactly an easy thing to define for an ai

when to open fire when not to

where to go when and why

how to react to player's decisions and how not to

all that on top of environmental effects

so makes sense

[wispy bluff]

In the end of the day bots are a placeholder for real players.

You're not really meant to play the game with them.

Some objectives are particularly hard with them around because they require splitting the team, but bots never leave your side, so you do everything yourself and waste precious time.

[craggy vale]

well since I have nobody else to play with, watch me

[rose nova]

i mean ur not meant but u can ksmdkm

[wispy bluff]

You can beat the entire Rundown 1 with them.

The only truly problematic level is R1C1 and I recently botsolo'd it myself to make sure.

It's not as bad as I thought it would be.

The next big filters are R2C2 and R2D2

R2E1 is effectively unbeatable with them, as far as I'm concerned.

[opal thorn]

?

[rose nova]

yeah :]

[modern coral]

R2E1 is one of the manageable E-tiers w/ bots, tho.

[rose nova]

idk if i like, believe in manageable E tiers with bots

cause from what ive seen the other three arent possible, r4e1 r5e1 r7e1

but i am, not sure

[wispy bluff]

I'm horrified to think what juggling 3 objective items looks like.

[modern coral]

I'm not even sure how much R5E1 is impossible.

[wispy bluff]

It's not left 4 dead where you can just throw them.

[modern coral]

But it's only "non-manageable" to the extent that E-tier is normally a step above anything else in the game anyway.

[steep elm]

this game is actually fun

[modern coral]

Like, R2D2 is similar.

[wispy bluff]

Most of the time

[modern coral]

You don't have players to split up to gather resources, ping stuff, backtrack early, etc.

[rose nova]

its nice :3

[modern coral]

But it's not nearly as insane as R4E1 kill all moms sort of stuff.

[trim heath]

R7E1 with bots might unironically be easier at least until you get to like...actually never mind

it's not nice to profile people artek

[wispy bluff]

I have no idea what you're saying

[ivory radish]

umm, based on wiki, there are 71 levels? this cant be right? are they all as long as the first map in rundown 1?

[wispy bluff]

Yes. Average semi-competent level completion time is like 45-50 minutes.

[ivory radish]

Wow this is mind blowing. I mean most games have like what? 8-15 maps?

[wispy bluff]

These 71 levels are a result of a weird battle pass style thing this game had going on.

Every 3-4 months they would drop a new rundown and remove the old one.

So you only had 10 levels at a time.

[ivory radish]

i only tryd it 1-2 hours on release and left cos they didnt had bots or match making. Now i thought i redownload it and im pretty stunned now 😄

[wispy bluff]

Now they brought back the old levels (now known as Alts) and you get this.

The fact they didn't ask any additional money for this is the more mind blowing part.

[ivory radish]

the levels will stay now or disapear again? i plan to play them all in order

[wispy bluff]

Not even a single dlc locked weapon or skin even.

[ivory radish]

i played R1 mission 1 now like 7 times, almost made it out alive and cant believe there are 70 more 😄

o

[grizzled bison]

holy cr*p it's matpat!

[wintry compass]

anyone down to get the new cosmetic ?

[wispy bluff]

Just solo R7A1 with bots.

It's a 20 minutes afair , just shoot everything.

[wispy bluff]

It only gets worse from there. This game can get real mean when it really wishes to do so. It's not gonna hit you immediately, but it will.

You haven't even seen some of the more... Sadistic mechanics.

[ivory radish]

@wispy bluffnow that sounds realy nice. So the rundowns have like different mechanics?

i guess all rundowns use the same visuals / biomes?

[wispy bluff]

Well, as i mentioned: this game had a weird FOMO battlepass things going on.

the ALT rundowns are barely changed from their original counter parts

You can observe how the game progressed and was being developed through their design

[wintry compass]

didnt i have to complete the whole run ?

[wispy bluff]

New rundowns introduce new biomes, yes.

[wispy bluff]

You just need to beat a single mission.

[wintry compass]

oh ok

[wispy bluff]

Rundown 1 is very simplistic and has minimum of features and biomes. I think it has like 2 or 3 biomes in it, the lamest ones too.

[ivory radish]

@wispy bluffdamn lol and i thought its already good and kinda hard

[wispy bluff]

One of the reason why its easy to beat Rundown-1 with bots is because objectives are very basic and not complex as it gets later. Every mission is just Stealth > Do alarm scan > Acquire the objective item(s) > Get out, which are the most basic of skill checks in this game.
With only expection being R1-C1, which is probably the most unique level objective wise in that whole rundown.

[brittle crater]

R1 only has Refinery and Storage Subcomplex, which are part of the Mining complex

[ivory radish]

@wispy bluffyep, once i gave 2 sentrys to the bots, it become very manageable

[wispy bluff]

1 on of each tool is the optimal setup for most missions. Always give biotracker to the bot if present. Never give bots cfoam - they suck with it.

Then you can adapt to specific levels, if they require it. Like C1.

[ivory radish]

nice! how should i place the mine so it blows up when the enemy breaks through? can i place the mine on the side of the door and then close it so the mine is not visible anymore? does this work?

are all door alerts time based? so it doesnt mather how many you kill, only time counts?

[wispy bluff]

Wait what? Time?

[burnt flume]

Alarm spawn mechanics?

[mystic moss]

ripe topic for misinformation

[ivory radish]

sorry i worded it wrong, its basicaly objective based with unlimited time

[wispy bluff]

Door alarms - the basic ones anyway - will keep spawning enemies until the scan is finished. The horde will be infinite, spawned in waves based on time periods. Your primary objective during that period is to just get the scan do as soon as possible.

[ivory radish]

so it doesnt mather how many enemys you kill

@wispy bluffwait, this sounds like there will be different types of alerts?

[wispy bluff]

Simply explained: for the love of god just SCAN

[burnt flume]

Most events that spawn enemies in the game are endless until you complete it/turn it off/whatever

[wispy bluff]

99% of them

I can think of exactly 1 random event that spawns like 2-3 waves of enemies and stops

You won't see it any time soon

In hindsight its basically a unique mechanic

[ivory radish]

i wonder if some elite 1337 players did on purpose defend as long as possible and get like half an hour out of it?

[burnt flume]

You could technically do that I guess

Infinitely melee a wave

But there's no point in doing it so whatever

[ivory radish]

ahh yes, forgot that there is meele, so you dont even need ammo

[burnt flume]

It's surprising how much you can get away with meleeing, at least from the perspective of a new player

[ivory radish]

i havent realy used meele in combat, only while sneaking

[wispy bluff]

Surprisingly enough that is one thing veterans dont seem to be doing out of boredom - just turning any level into infinite survival for shits and giggles

[mystic moss]

good habit to keep

[ivory radish]

i did notice that you cant realy shoot the enemys when they shoot you, your aim gets messed up

[wispy bluff]

They do anything else though. Speedruns, trying to true-solo it, pacifist runs, yadi yada...

[wispy bluff]

You can and you should. The biters your can prevent from attacking by stunning them mid-animation. The shooter, however... Yeah, with them it becomes almost a tactical-like afair, with peeking corners trying not to get shot.

Not that it really matters. How much damage their projectile deals again? 4%, 6%? I never paid attention.

And your health regenerates back up to 20%, so you can take a punch there and there. Just not 2 in a row.

[ivory radish]

@wispy bluffbasicaly, my experience is like i kill all enemys without any problems or i get absoluty crushed and it mostly just depends on if i get hit by the shooters

[burnt flume]

Shooter projectiles deal 4.5% or some shit, it depends on how they're feeling at the time

[wispy bluff]

Its one of those things i can't really put into words. The "git gud" situations.
Combination of prioritising right targets, being quick about killing them, finding cover / dodging.
Ranged enemies in this game are actually stupid easy to dodge - you can just walk slightly sideways and they will miss, but i don't remember the specifics.

I tend to sometimes take damage just to be honorable with the game, i don't really use any of the known techniques to actually avoid taking every single bit of damage i can (aside from just taking stealth seriously).

is there any lore to the game? the starting sequence and dive looks awesome but im curious why the stuff is down there etc

[wispy bluff]

Oh god.

[earnest forge]

Ah. Shiiiii. Here we go again

[rough oracle]

XD

[wispy bluff]

That is a deep-ass rabbit hole. We are in somewhat problematic situation right now, lore got rapidly developed over last couple of updates and things are going jackshit crazy.

But for what its worth - you won't really experience it through the game. Not until you reach Rundown 6 anyway.

[earnest forge]

It took me roughly 10 minutes yesterday in a car ride to explain what I know about it to a friend :')

[wispy bluff]

The lore has effectively no connections to the actual gameplay. You get deployed, you achieve the objective, you get out. No sinematics, no nothing.

However... Sometimes when checking a terminal - you can notice that it has more than 1 logs on it.

Pretty much all terminals in the game have 1 same log on all of them - the AUTOGEN thing, something something servers started getting hot and a warning was sent everywhere it could be sent.

But some terminals will have more than 1, and those are usually... at least something of an interest.

[ivory radish]

nice, gona keep an eye out for it

[wispy bluff]

Random facility staff conversations, interviews, intercepted radio stations, process reports and so on and so on.

[ivory radish]

currently im restarting first mission over and over again cos i cant decide which weapons to take

[rough oracle]

ooh lala time to go progress my game some more haha

[ivory radish]

basicaly i get 2 weapons, shoot the first 5 enemys with it, repeat 😄

Unfortunately the game is not being kind to you here either. There's a couple of occasions where there's like a 500 words log with important lore developments... on a terminal where you're currently being pursued by an infinite horde or something, or just generally being pushed for time to be quick.

Thanks game, very cool. Sure making sure people respect your deepest lore.

Good luck actually finding the terminal too. Some of them are easy to miss.

[ivory radish]

on first rundown, i have all the time i want or? i can simply kill every single monster and then search for stuff?

[wispy bluff]

For now yes. You can chill.

[serene jewel]

depends on the expedition

[wispy bluff]

Once you get tired of trying to do this properly - just go to wiki and read the logs in order. You'll be up to date after like an hour of reading.

Also we have #gtfo-lore if you have any questions, with a "for dummies" pinned document in case you just want to TL:DR this shit.

weapon choice is usually level specific imo

for example

there are levels where there should be somebody carrying a sniper or burst cannon or scattergun, and levels where those weapons are functionally a waste of ammo

the "main" weapons (which are generally considered to be secondary weapons), are a lot less diverse in the sense that most of them are interchangeable and theres not as many cases where having one or the other is objectively better or worse

[trim heath]

generally speaking you will be made aware when you are under a time constraint of some description, i.e. you have to put a terminal command into a specific terminal or pull an alarm door or something of the sort

[ivory radish]

umm, how do you actualy evade shooter projectiles? i just did an test, i did hold left strafe and the shooter hit me 3 times in a row?!

[trim heath]

I find it a bit easier to go towards them (forward) while also strafing

depends on situation tho sometimes just using a wall or pillar is easier

[wispy bluff]

Just go under 45 degrees towards them or something like that

I don't know. Again: i don't do the whole dodging thing.

I have it on record where i just do weird evasive maneuveres like dodging a rock

As in i actual turn to the side and down with camera, as if i was dodging something irl and covering

And... It worked, somehow? No fucking idea.

Just find yourself cover, bring a weapon that counters them and make sure to kill them before everyone else.

Bots can handle the biters, shooters are your responsibility.

[ivory radish]

wow youre right! moving forward a bit while strafing a bit works 100% o.O does this even make sense? haha

[wispy bluff]

Yeah, enemies are not as scary as you think once you know their aiming mechanics.

Which is one of the reason i refuse to learn them.

I want monsters to remain monsters.

My "panic sprint jump" works 40% of the time and that's fine by me

For everything else - just find cover and put something between you and the sleeper, that usually works.

[mossy pawn]

Just bought the game, I feel so overwhelmed

[wispy bluff]

Yeah, that's normal for everyone.

It only gets worse from there. Did the TRAINING mission yet?

[mossy pawn]

Yeah

[wispy bluff]

What gets your overwhelmed, specifically?

We're always happy to help.

[mossy pawn]

Not the game in itself

everything around it

[wispy bluff]

Hope you like mile long essays on numbers and mechanic /s

[mossy pawn]

😮

Looking for matchmaking (at first) looks like alchemy

[wispy bluff]

Oh yeah, absolutely

I too didn't want to become part of the cult at first

But 3 weeks after original R6 release matchmaking effectively died and i had no other choice.

Its not as complicated as it looks at first... Its just annoying. And i'm too lazy.

[mossy pawn]

No I bet it isnt

Just, no as simple as legit anything else

But it makes sense since you need to properly play and get your head into it

[wispy bluff]

Host
Copy code
Join VC
Copy VC link
Post "LFG R1 - A1, for shits and giggles: CODE / VC" in appropriate server and then just wait

[ivory radish]

problem is, the game has 71 maps, which means 71 different matchmaking conditions

[wispy bluff]

That's like what... 4 clicks and a bunch of typing with an enter to send

Most civilised videogames just require you to click START > MATCHMAKE

[mossy pawn]

civilized is key here

you're a prisoner

[wispy bluff]

To be fair the game did try that and that mechanic exists

Its just none of the people here are using it. Not unironically anyway. Except for like 1 guy.

[rose nova]

many people like replayin maps, its not one of those games where u beat it once and never again ksks

[wispy bluff]

Its EXACTLY that slendi

[rose nova]

thats actually why i specify always asking for not carryin

[rose nova]

... :b

tell that to my 10 clears of r2b4

[ivory radish]

@rose novayep, its funny when to much content actualy hurt the matchmaking

[wispy bluff]

I'm not replaying R2E1, fuck off. Maybe for nostalgia sake and just to be extra prejudiced to monsters there.

[rose nova]

just cause ur afraid doesnt mean my dumbass is >:3 i will go in blind

and with pr

[thick temple]

so, you speak for everyone who plays the game?

[mossy pawn]

I fully understand this debate

[rose nova]

yeah with this game it kinda did happen for the ALTs, but its still not super hard to find a team

[wispy bluff]

No, but there's no objective reason to replay anything unless you're REALLY into the core gameplay loop.

[rose nova]

just usually u will get a couple people that already played the map, unless they are all newies

[thick temple]

i'm sure there are specific levels that anyone wouldn't want to replay
but there are plenty of people that replay just about any level for any reason

[rose nova]

i get ur point but, idk ive seen people that constantly like replayin mission, and many screenshots on media of 69 completions of r7d2 or r3d1 ksmdkm

[mossy pawn]

imo, it's not fun when someone just knows everything

[wispy bluff]

Yeah, yeah, those people exists, i know.

[ivory radish]

Is there some way to get a map ingame, from terminal or something? cos i know what i need to find and where it is but there is no map that says "here is area 51, now search there!"

[mossy pawn]

it throws away any surprise, discovery ect

[wispy bluff]

Someone out there be replaying Amnesia: The Dark Descent for 10th times because its that good of a game

Points still stands.

[rose nova]

i think its ok as long as they dont carry, specially when they kinda let u to just, die with it ksks like not sayin somethins gonna happen and then goin 'oh yeah, u died cause of this!'

[rose nova]

tab !

[wispy bluff]

No grind? No exp? No EPIC MASTER SEARGENT PRESTIGE 25? Sorry, there's another game that has that and requires my attention.

[ivory radish]

@rose novaFor Real? o.O

[thick temple]

press tab, you get a map of everywhere you've explored so far
use environmental clues to know where to go, mainly reading the text on the doors

[rose nova]

yeah, just it goes as u discover it

its not like a full map unless ur goin through the whole thing

[mossy pawn]

I like rocks and I like stones

[ivory radish]

@thick templewait i know the map but it only shows discovered stuff and when i restart i have already forgoten everything haha

[wispy bluff]

I actually stayed until 6:AM yesterday grinding the final contract unlocks in Team Fortress 2. Another checkbox done ✅

[rose nova]

oh qwq ksmdkm

[mint light]

Rediscover 👍

[rose nova]

well doors also specify the zone they lead into, look into the corner, they should say "Passage to zone_50" or somethin

so followin the doors works too

[thick temple]

oh yeah it's per run, you only unlock more of the map by going to new places, which again, you look at mainly all the doors to know where they lead and such

[mossy pawn]

This all does look like a cult

[rose nova]

cofcof

nono :3

... the robes are just cause they look cool i swear

[ivory radish]

omg, i just checked wiki, layout of first map and now.....i dont feel well. I thought i discovered the wohle map but it was like 40% only o.O

[rose nova]

yeh the... maps on this game can get quite big

[mint light]

you don't need to be everywhere tho.

In fact you can skip a whole zone

[rose nova]

thas true !

[mint light]

And slendi is right

[ivory radish]

@mint lightyes but thats is the problem! i pretty much need to go everywhere cos i dont know where Area 49 is, for example

[mint light]

Doors tell you everything

[wispy bluff]

Oh it 100% is. You're currently encoutering 3 same people that chill around here all the time, and there's another... 10? To meet. After that: you know the "Whole" server, welcome to the club.

[mint light]

Doors and the map tell you all m8

[rose nova]

if u dont know ur own zone, check for walls, they have signs explaining the zone ur in

then the doors, specifin where they lead to

[mossy pawn]

throws me off a lil bit

[mint light]

Z49 is spawn zone btw

[rose nova]

:3

tbh i think thats kinda every server, or at least the ones ive been

[ivory radish]

oh wow, now i gona start the game, just to look at a door more closely 😄

[wispy bluff]

Just start playing with random from LFG, you really don't need to be here unless you're into memes, weapon balance arguments and occasional drama.

[rose nova]

drama like, um who replays maps KMSKDMK

[mint light]

👍 Do cause it's really easy when you know

[rose nova]

sorry i had to

[ivory radish]

i think i needed to go to zone 50...are all zones connected? like if im in 49..i need to pass through 50 to reach 51?

[wispy bluff]

Eh, something like that.

[mint light]

No

[rose nova]

not necessarily

[wispy bluff]

Its literally written on the doors themselves. Physically.

[mint light]

Just read the doors

[thick temple]

assuming you're referring to r1a1, for instance zone 52 you access from zone 49

it's not necessarily a straight line

[wispy bluff]

"Door to zone XX, passage through zones XZ and ZZ"

[mint light]

For R1A1 specifically 49 is Linked to 50 and 52. 51 is through 50 and can be skipped alltogether

[ivory radish]

@thick templei had some locked door which needed some keycard which i never found

[mint light]

Terminals!!!

[thick temple]

you can query the keycard on the terminal to find out what zone it's in

[balmy moat]

It’s because sometimes there are “intersections” where there are multiple security door passages

[mint light]

use the damn things

[balmy moat]

So it’s not all continuous

Prime example is R6A1

[mint light]

Ok go make your homework now

[balmy moat]

I finished my homework dad :(((

[ivory radish]

holy hell! youre all right. It actualy says to which zone the door leads and even to where you could go from the new zone

[trim heath]

sth yall can do right when you drop into a level is hop on a terminal and type in LIST KEY and LIST BULKHEAD

[rose nova]

:D

[rose nova]

but thats boring

[trim heath]

then query the keycards and bulkhead keys that show up

ez no more getting lost

[rose nova]

i wanna see i need a key in the middle on an alarm and riskin my entire run

:3

[wispy bluff]

@ivory radish I have nothing to do right now so if you want i could join on in your first adventures and give you some quick crash course advices there and there.

[mint light]

If I get another note from your teacher, your GTFO rights will be taken away

[mint light]

Pls no weird takes
