[topaz stump]

after high school, pretty much all my friend groups are drama free

and it is so nice dude

[neat solstice]

You have friend groups?

[topaz stump]

yes

[neat solstice]

Thats Impossible!

[topaz stump]

i know that may be a foreign concept to you

[tardy pelican]

Agreed

[neat solstice]

You're on discord.

[topaz stump]

but it is the case

[topaz stump]

discord is the primary way we keep in contact

[tardy pelican]

No, those are discord mods

(The stereotype)

[languid beacon]

I don't have many friend groups but everywhere I am is drama free for the most part, it's nice

All I have to deal with are crippling brain problems instead

[torpid viper]

Drama is free?

Where can I get it

[tardy pelican]

trump

cards

[torpid viper]

Does that make it better

[tardy pelican]

They pay you, with cards

[viscid glade]

hello

[scenic ginkgo]

hello

[viscid glade]

im new to the game wondering how to clear r1c1 with bots : P

[scenic ginkgo]

Captain America: puts foot on chair "So you are having trouble with R1C1"

a reactor is ultimately 3 parts,
1 Wave Defense
2 gathering resources in between
3 getting the code into the terminal in time
If you already know how R1C1's reactor works, then its just the first two things you need, and they can go hand in hand

the most popular place to defend for many reasons is the bridge tile. the hole in the wall at the south end is a great choke point where you can get angles and focus your sentries, the bridge itself is a perfect funnel if/as you fall back, and its only about a 30 second run to the reactor terminal.

when you start looting after the shooting, you have quite a lot of resources around you to spend as the code person runs out and runs back. and on longer warm up times for the later codes, you have enough time to run forward and loot in previous areas.

when giants spawn having someone with a good weapon for bigs like hel rifle is useful (especially for hybrids) as well as saving tool by only having 2 sentries down for most waves, saving it for later waves or the waves with Hybrids (4, 6, 8).

this is definitely a 3 sentry + 1 bio tracker level, and when you learn all sentries are not created equal.
Burst is the best all-arounder.
Sniper sentry thrives with bio tracking and the long sight lines on this level.
shot gun sentry is in the game
Autosentry is in the game.

if you have a bot, they are a boss with the biotracker so give them that, and if you have three bots god go with you.

:3

[viscid glade]

lmaooo

i had my bots on mgs bc they burn through ammo so fast

[pseudo scaffold]

I feel like one day. I would just randomly see this in a twitch chat

[torpid viper]

Probably

[frosty imp]

Hm.

[runic sage]

Mucho texto

[scenic ginkgo]

Quien

[amber solar]

not rlly bots on machineguns would burn ammo same as like a normal player

specially without proper sentry

[viscid glade]

heh i have a hard time getting cover fire when im trying to aid the bots/ do the terminal

lots of backshots

i figured id give the bots the weapons with high ammo cap

[steep stone]

go to bot weapons are the burst rifle+veruta mg

[amber solar]

bots work best with: long range weapons, with high ammo and bodyshot capability

so yes those two r the best

but u should be clearing like most of the wave for the time u run to the terminal

specially if u hold in that bridge

the run back is about 20 30 seconds so u can start running back with 10 seconds on the high intensive test or so and then be at the terminal when it has 10~ seconds to input the code

[viscid glade]

crazy enough im playing on a steam deck so my typing is like double slow

[amber solar]

oh

[viscid glade]

i havent tried extending my defensives though so ill try that going home and playing with the bot setups

[steep stone]

good luck playing this mf on steam deck

[amber solar]

pro tip u can hit up arrow and it'll write the last command used so that could be helpful

but well yeah defending on the bridge is the play

putting 2 sentries for the first waves and then all 3 after the 4th wave works rlly well

[viscid glade]

oh sick

ive been typing it out and using the tab to auto complete after i did a code to setup for the next wave

[shrewd mango]

Oh a steam deck user

neat

[shrewd mango]

how's the gyro aiming?

[viscid glade]

its actually solid, i use the top left back button to emable it and i can snap shot enemies. though im pretty drunk when i play this so i could just be aiming for the ceiling xD

[shrewd mango]

Oh right are you using default steam input

Like the default controls

If I recall for steam deck it wrecks q commands

[viscid glade]

my top commands are default but my trackpad and back buttons are customized. i use the trackpad to quickswap between items and the back is used for gyro, sprint, and ping items

[shrewd mango]

Ok then you should be set

[viscid glade]

for some reason though i think the keyboard automatically types a 2 or 3 in the terminal whenever i go to use it

[shrewd mango]

Ah weapon switch

Disabling is more of a pain if the game bugs out

Well you should be fine then

Gl

[viscid glade]

o7

[shrewd mango]

And don't play on a controller that doesn't have gyro

You have no idea how much stuff I had to go through to make a scheme that works even remotely well for harder missions

(why does this game have no autoaim sadge)

[viscid glade]

lmao we dont even have good bot commands we love struggling

[shrewd mango]

I mean steam deck has way more buttons than a ps4 controller

[steep stone]

You're implying I'd say someone should play this on controller, which I also wouldn't do

I personally think controllers are reserved for dark souls

[shrewd mango]

This game CAN take controller but it's really more modern ones
with more buttons
Because my god the buttons

[steep stone]

Maybe racing games if you don't own a wheel lmao

Tbh it's not even buttons

I just think aiming on sticks is bad

[shrewd mango]

Yeah that's why gyro is enabled

[frosty imp]

Racing games?

Mafia gaming

[steep stone]

I'm a need for speed enjoyer tbh

Sometimes those games are really fun

[frosty imp]

Mafia not that arcadey enough of a race sim

[steep stone]

Sometimes they're bad

[frosty imp]

Like Asphalt 694201337 Hell On Earth

idk

tbf that game series is more to the arcade racing that you'd prob play in arcades

Ain't nothing better than racing in a game where the controls feel like dogshit and you have literally 0 control

[steep stone]

Fwiw I think racing wheels are more required for like, sim driving games

[frosty imp]

skill issue tbh

[steep stone]

Like I wouldn't play My Summer Car on a controller

[frosty imp]

yea

Racing wheels if they get good support a good idea nevertheless

Though with games like Forza or NFS, idk if you really want it

Probably isn't that bad and it might be good but idk

[steep stone]

Do you need it? Not even remotely

Is it margainly more fun with one? Yes. Absolutely.

[frosty imp]

In my mind trying to control a car in Forza/NFS with a wheel sounds almost along the lines of those arcade racers

[steep stone]

You don't need IR tracking for Ace Combat as much as DCS but fuck it's fun lmao

[steep stone]

Tbf I really enjoy those imported Japanese drifting arcade games

[frosty imp]

I tried out Ace Combat 7 a little while back

Least there is a couple different control schemes so it wasn't that bad with a controller

Granted my skill with controllers are not too good anymore

[steep stone]

Tbh IR tracking doesn't like

Replace any controls

It just looks around while you move your head

Which makes first person modes more fun

[frosty imp]

I only do kb/m and the last time I really ever needed a controller outside of rare ish racing or w/e was back when I still used my ps4 as my main gaming system

They should at least implement systems where you literally die irl if you die in a VR game

[ebon steppe]

[scenic ginkgo]

omg

is that the cutie Dusty?

"throw glowsticks to ward off enemies" has to be my favorite pub misinfo now

[neat solstice]

My favorite misinfo is telling new players you can cfoam scouts

Isn't it supposed to be 'you can only stealth kill foamed scouts'?

[neat solstice]

Only with mods

[restive tulip]

?

me when im not smart

[hard mica]

I love telling new players to give me tool when I’m running bio

[ornate sandal]

I'm so confused. why is the misinformation if it's true?

xD

[neat solstice]

The misinformation being a lie about the truth?

To trick people by saying something true and calling it misinformation.

[torpid viper]

my bio needs recharge...

[neat solstice]

Is that how you ask for nitro?

finding raids teams as a mute player in destiny is wild

[shrewd mango]

Oh finding it is easy

staying in it tho

good luck

imagine everyone mute on verity encounter

[scenic ginkgo]

LMAO

that would be really funny

and painful

[smoky storm]

people play destiny???

and actually enjoy it?????

[alpine quiver]

tbh raids are enjoyable when you don't have a toxic group that expect you to know all the mechanics the moment the raid is released

[scenic ginkgo]

i dont

i play and i hate it

[scenic ginkgo]

verity in a nutshell

LFG is horrible for that encounter

[shrewd mango]

'hey guys I need a cone'

meanwhile everyone that didn't know what to do is just randomly putting in shapes

reminds me of that one article with the tornado destiny guy

[scenic ginkgo]

Me wearing the ugliest piece of armor so my blind teammates don't place the wrong ghost

😔

[shrewd mango]

when you actually have to start caring about fashion

[frosty imp]

[ebon steppe]

become fashion

[scenic ginkgo]

Verity reminds me of those weird ass exams i had in elementary school
Which gave You multiple shapes and then You had to guess which shape they make

I still have no idea what those exams are for

I saw verity for the first time and i instantly knew i was up for a wild ride

[amber solar]

den of wolves it's not like
realistic tho?

it's more so sci-fi funky game that just seems to have good animations and graphics

but that doesn't mean realistic per se

[olive slate]

it looked good to me lol

and its featured

[amber solar]

i think dow looks wonderful but not realistic

more so just very well stylized

This game makes me cry

[topaz stump]

that means you're doing it right :)

this game is not for the faint of heart

[unkempt birch]

how do yall join a match

[steep stone]

With the LFG channels in this discord

#how-to-matchmake probably has relevant info

In game matchmaking is awful, don't use it

[unkempt birch]

So basically how do I play with my friends

I'm autistic

[languid beacon]

As host: From title screen -> click whatever rundown you want to play -> click the level you want to play (you need the level unlocked) -> click host lobby
As client through lobby code: Copy lobby code -> On any title/rundown screen on the left side of your screen you'll get a red button to join the lobby
As client through friends list: From title screen -> click rundown your friend is hosting -> click level they're hosting -> hold click join lobby

[steep stone]

^

[unkempt birch]

I don't see the "red button" to join lobby

Do I have to choose the exact rundown

[steep stone]

You need to have a code copy pasted to see the red button

[unkempt birch]

Do I paste it in the game?

Or just copy

[languid beacon]

if it is in your clipboard, the button will appear eventually

[steep stone]

No the red button appears because it's detected in your clipboard

[languid beacon]

there is not a field to paste the code into

[unkempt birch]

Okay thanks

[steep stone]

Good luck

[unkempt birch]

If it's full the red button won't appear?

[shrewd mango]

ye

that or you just can't join

[frosty imp]

Hm.

[languid beacon]

You copied the entire lobby code right? With no leading or trailing spaces or empty characters?

[unkempt birch]

It worked ty

[viscid glade]

no this is a waffle house

[naive igloo]

Who am i?

[wet pine]

i found a bug, its just visual i don't know were too put the image, it in the tutorial

Wait fuck

I already did that

💀

[slate sand]

I dont undestand

[scenic ginkgo]

You can use the LFG chats to find people to play

Thats what the message says

[floral snow]

do lfgs expect you to be like. good.

[urban briar]

I don’t expect you to be good, but I expect some sort of effort

[floral snow]

i'm struggling to clear r1c1 alt on solo so i'm wary of joining lfgs

[steep stone]

I've very rarely had a bad experience with LFGs ngl

[urban briar]

Are you playing solo with bots

[crisp oriole]

4 man groups struggle with R1C1 so don't worry about it

[floral snow]

no

[crisp oriole]

what wave are you dying on?

[floral snow]

varies

[crisp oriole]

90% of the people you will find in lfg won't even make it past wave 1

[urban briar]

Can confirm, I died on fall damage, didn’t even make it to reactor

[floral snow]

I'm passable at stealth i can reliably kill feelers and giants but i struggle on alarmed scans

[amber solar]

people on the lfgs can guide u and are usually not judgmental of ur skill

specially on esrly levels like c1

[floral snow]

o7

[amber solar]

just always ask to not be carried and u should fine :]

[crisp oriole]

so you're more than capable

[floral snow]

is that not minimum?

[amber solar]

people are a bit funny with feelers but ur doing good

that's already a plus ksks

[crisp oriole]

trust me some people here aren't capable of seeing pixels on their screen

[scenic ginkgo]

not really

[scenic ginkgo]

it depends which level

if its an E tier then yeah

and also some D tiers

[steep stone]

R2E1 is the exception to that rule

[scenic ginkgo]

and R8E1

lol

[steep stone]

R8E1 p*bs that bad?

[scenic ginkgo]

no

R8E1 is really easy

it isnt an E tier

[steep stone]

Then

Why

Why is it R8E1

[amber solar]

u will see when

[scenic ginkgo]

lore

[amber solar]

u get there

[steep stone]

Alright

[scenic ginkgo]

youll see

really cool level

C tier in difficulty btw

[amber solar]

yeh it's nice :] ez but nice

[steep stone]

That involves me not being in the grips of elden ring

So

I'll get there when I get there

[crisp oriole]

by r2e1 is exception he means that all R2E1 pubs are shit even tho its an E tier i think

[amber solar]

yeah i mean r2e1 it's still e tier so

[steep stone]

Hey you said it

[floral snow]

i quit elden ring at fire giant to go play gtfo lol

[scenic ginkgo]

skull issue

[amber solar]

gtfo my beloved

[scenic ginkgo]

you started playing a worse game difficulty wise

LMAO

[floral snow]

gtfo doesn't have levels for me to be under

I'm like 10 15 levels under minimum for fire giant i didn't feel like powerleveling

[steep stone]

You're never underlevelled in ER if you're good at it tbf

People beat that game at level 1 naked with their hands

[scenic ginkgo]

GTFO at level 1

[floral snow]

im used to mainline souls the horse combat fucks with me

[frosty imp]

Hm.

[steep stone]

Tbh fire giant is easier off horse

[floral snow]

ic

it seems like you're meant to take it mounted

[scenic ginkgo]

have you tried punching harder

[steep stone]

I only mount when he fucks off to another corner of his arena, I find his attacks easier to roll through then to do horse shenanigans with

[amber solar]

i don't know a lot about elder ring i just know the dlc cone guys are like extremely funny and stupid and i love them they goofy

[floral snow]

int :)

[amber solar]

trying to not speak on spoilers

[floral snow]

i can use reduvia if i feel like poking his ankles my arc is like 14

[urban briar]

Can you beat Elden Ring playing as Elden Rings

[frosty imp]

Shrek is in Elden Ring DLC as final boss (secret final boss)

[topaz stump]

what are you dying to?

swarms of little guys, hybrids?

[floral snow]

normal melee

little guys

[topaz stump]

what guns do u have

[amber solar]

smol silly sleepers

[frosty imp]

You have to find the swamp and he appears

[floral snow]

drekker rifle and short rifle

spear

[scenic ginkgo]

oh

[steep stone]

No fucking way

[urban briar]

SHORT RIFLE GAMING

[topaz stump]

well theres your first problem

[amber solar]

tbh on r1c1 u can make anything work rlly as long as it isn't short range but i would change the short rifle

[scenic ginkgo]

yeah tbh avoid short rifle

its bad bad

and spear is meh

[steep stone]

Avoid all of those ngl

[floral snow]

lel

[steep stone]

Just throw the whole loadout away

[amber solar]

rifles not bad

[topaz stump]

hate to be the bearer of bad news, short rifle and spear are arguably worst in slot

[amber solar]

????

[steep stone]

They're solo without bots man

[topaz stump]

drekker rifle is ok

[scenic ginkgo]

but if he is dying to smalls

then they need somethign else

[topaz stump]

in general

[amber solar]

that's kinda more another issue

[steep stone]

Like

[floral snow]

is spear not valuable for sleepers

[topaz stump]

i mean

[frosty imp]

Sleepers are easy

[topaz stump]

for r1c1?

[scenic ginkgo]

yes but it they are awake then no

[topaz stump]

melee doesnt matter as much

[amber solar]

they are not going to beat r1c1 solo anyway kdmskd that's a mission for so many more hours

[frosty imp]

I think?

[topaz stump]

but in general, spear is worse than the alternatives

[scenic ginkgo]

you cant sprint with spear while charging

[steep stone]

Hammer

[topaz stump]

this too

[scenic ginkgo]

hamemr is way better overall

[steep stone]

Hammer does everything

[floral snow]

o7

[scenic ginkgo]

more range for less speed is not a good trade off in this game

[amber solar]

if u play with people or bots u can just keep the rifle that ones fine

[topaz stump]

if you're struggling with small boys, mgs/har/hel guns are good waveclear
but someone as fresh as you, you will have a lot of trouble clearing r1c1 true solo

[urban briar]

You can, but it’s 75% your full sprint hehe

[topaz stump]

doesnt fuckign count

[scenic ginkgo]

its still shit

thats not sprinting

[amber solar]

r1c1 solo- solo in general in this game is just extremely hard

[scenic ginkgo]

thats walking fast

[topaz stump]

a brisk stroll

[floral snow]

what's better in the special slot?

[urban briar]

Play Yukidown, I made it 100% full speed when you sprint and charge :3 (not a shameless plug)

[steep stone]

Literally anything else

[topaz stump]

than short rifle?

pretty much anything lmao

[steep stone]

Is better then short rifle

[scenic ginkgo]

hel rifle, hel gun, combat shotgun, normal shotgun

even machineguns

[amber solar]

for this level specifically anything that's like longer ranges rlly

[topaz stump]

if you struggle with smalls, try a machingun, har, or one of the shotguns

[amber solar]

r1c1 is long corridors so

[topaz stump]

or one of the hel weapones ye

[urban briar]

I wouldn’t use a shotgun on R1C1 but that’s just me

[topaz stump]

i meant more in general

[amber solar]

yeah only chokemod

[topaz stump]

but yes

[urban briar]

Do not use choke mod

[topaz stump]

choke mod is fiiiine

not great but its fiiiiine

[amber solar]

chokemod it's fine it's just overshadowed

[scenic ginkgo]

the etilist will come for you

[amber solar]

but it's still fine

[topaz stump]

the elitist can gargle my n*tsack

[scenic ginkgo]

on my way

[topaz stump]

😩

[urban briar]

Stop using choke mod and take scattergun like a real mf

[topaz stump]

lmao

[amber solar]

fish reacted

[topaz stump]

i tried runnign r4e1 without scatter a few days ago

did not go well

[floral snow]

entire different line, is there a way to mute the characters?

[scenic ginkgo]

lowering the voice option in settings

[amber solar]

in settings and audio yes

[scenic ginkgo]

:)

[amber solar]

it just doesn't mute urs

but u can live with that

[floral snow]

😔

[steep stone]

If I muted my own voice lines I couldn't hear myself spamming "let's not do that again"

[floral snow]

10 chambers really wants me to know that there's a sleeper and not to wake it

[amber solar]

yes :]

u need to know

[smoky storm]

RUN AND GUN STRAT

[trail iron]

@primal girder please do not join lobbies before vc in the future, also read the post thank you

[cyan citrus]

Is this game dead chat

[floral snow]

everyone either hasn't cleared a rundown or has cleared all of them at speedrun pace it seems

[scenic ginkgo]

Lol

"speedrun pace"

:3

[shrewd mango]

little does he know most of us aren't on speedrun pace

like actual speedruns are insane

[scenic ginkgo]

Yeah

Most of people confuse speedruns with fast stealth

[shrewd mango]

watch some of frosty or eva's stuff

[shrewd mango]

Most of us will never reach speedrun pace, but most of us can clear rundowns

[floral snow]

i have a bad sample then

[shrewd mango]

I mean what exactly do they do for you to think you were going fast?

Are they just people that quick stealth

Or people who genuinely know how to speedrun

cause those are two really different things

[floral snow]

I see a lot more runs posted (at similar times to each other) than I'd expect from a game like this

[shrewd mango]

Yeah cause good rng is bullshit for this game

darkeva, frosty or some of the other speedrunners might have better knowledge on why top times are hard to beat

but it's not hard to tie good performance

(at least, I think so)

[floral snow]

seems that way

i just see a lot of runners posting similar times to each other which to me seems like a high proportion of runners in the playercount

evidently not true

[shrewd mango]

Eh most of us just don't play vanilla

And the ones that like to use their own languages aren't on this server

There's also the bunch that matchmake, most of them are good and will help you through levels

So if you only look at the active people around this server, there IS technically a high proportion

But when you take into account the rest of the peps it isn't as high

Oh hey @wind elk you got a min?
I wanted to ask about where I might find more stuff on waves
Apparently there's a ramp mechanic and different enemy costs for waves?

[wind elk]

As far as I know there aren't any guides or resources for how they work

[shrewd mango]

damn thanks

[wind elk]

Most of the known mechanics comes from piecing together datamined stuff

[ebon steppe]

[frosty imp]

Hm.

[boreal bough]

[smoky storm]

i want to commit inhale asbestos rn

[merry moat]

Hey guys, it’s been ages since I’ve been here

[naive igloo]

Is R1A1 hard? 😵

[merry moat]

Nah

[naive igloo]

But game hard

[merry moat]

Game is hard, but the fun is overcoming the difficulty

[naive igloo]

How does one do that?

[merry moat]

Well… idk about you but for me, I just use my eyes (and my teammates XD)

also… LOTs of practice…

Like weeks of practice

[naive igloo]

So i have to shoot me friends?

Yeey

[merry moat]

No XD. That’s one way to lose people to play with

[naive igloo]

No?

What gun is the best to kill poeple with?

[merry moat]

Ok. I don’t use sounds for this game. So I often rely on my teammates for comms

[naive igloo]

Do you need teammates to play?

[merry moat]

Sometimes… no.

I did use Bots for some levels

[naive igloo]

Are bots worth it?

[merry moat]

But the C, Ds levels of 1-7 are definitely player-required

[naive igloo]

How many are there?

[merry moat]

It depends on how WELL you utilize them

[merry moat]

Plenty, depending on which rundown

[naive igloo]

Rundown?

[merry moat]

Yea, you’re on Rundown 1 which is the earliest and possibly easiest? Rundown

Or rather a set of levels

[naive igloo]

Really?

[merry moat]

There’s 8 sets of levels, where you gotta complete the A tier to access B tier and so on

[naive igloo]

WoW

[merry moat]

But it’s mainly just the 1st of Each tier to unlock the next, unless certain rundowns prevents that thing like R8

[naive igloo]

What's wrong with R8?

Is it buggy?

[merry moat]

Nothings wrong with R8

It’s quite an interesting nightmare

[naive igloo]

Wdym

[merry moat]

Don’t want to spoil it

I’ll let the gameplay give you the answers

[naive igloo]

But im not sure how to start

Where to start

[merry moat]

Normally, you CAN start in R1 which is where you’re at I’m assuming

It’s ideal to play the game from R1 to start with so you can get a good grasp of the gameplay

[naive igloo]

So A1 in R1 ? But isnt it hard?🥺

[merry moat]

Nope

[naive igloo]

Wdym no

[merry moat]

A tiers are like baby levels.

[naive igloo]

Game hard

[merry moat]

Unless you’re playing without bots, that would make sense

[naive igloo]

Is it better to take bots?

[merry moat]

If you have no one to play with sure, but the bots are not exactly ideal to work with in C or D tier levels, or in special certain B tiers at that

[naive igloo]

Why is that?

[merry moat]

However, if you know how to make em tick, you can probably solve a C or Dtier with them

[naive igloo]

And E?

[merry moat]

Bots aren’t well known for handling multiple items during alarms.

[merry moat]

Seek actual players.

[naive igloo]

Why?

[amber solar]

what's happening here

[naive igloo]

Not sure bruh

[amber solar]

is this an overly stretched joke

[naive igloo]

Might be

[merry moat]

Idk

I’m not joking

[amber solar]

wyvern call me crazy i don't think they are new to this game ksks

[naive igloo]

😇

[merry moat]

Thx. I kinda hate when I get strung along like that

[amber solar]

if i'm unsure i always check when they joined the discord

it's pretty telling

[naive igloo]

Im sorry 😘, you were so nice < 3

[pseudo scaffold]

ppp haven't you been around since OG R4?

[amber solar]

wyvern is a piece of soft bread

[naive igloo]

Ye

[merry moat]

I am, but show me someone who disrespects a deaf player and I will be your worst nightmare…

[amber solar]

i will become more chair

[pseudo scaffold]

Slendo is an immortal Object [Chair]

[naive igloo]

I played R4 with no sound aswell (dont ask why)

[amber solar]

:3

[naive igloo]

I talked to you abbout that once aswell i think

[pseudo scaffold]

It bogs my mind how unaware some ppl are of their surroundings who aren't playing muted

[amber solar]

i just play in automatic

i go kill sleeper and sometimes i don't notice the pack of 40 at my right

[merry moat]

Yup…

Like sometimes, a deaf player can be aware of a threat or bad situation that a hearing couldn’t (despite the massive advantage that is hearing them)

[merry moat]

I still laugh at the dismal of that one player who tried to blame the enemy wakeups on me when he was the one setting them off. He was talking a lot of bad words about me in VC which I wasn’t part of. One of the teammates dm’ed me and told me about it. So all 3 of us decided to ditch him and make a new level

He was stuck on that level for 8+ hrs while my team finished in around 2.5

[pseudo scaffold]

Oof

[topaz stump]

i hate you lmao

[merry moat]

XD

I’m guessing you checked out R8

[old lion]

Hi, nice to meet you, im new at this gaming

game*

[topaz stump]

im almost odne with it yes i get the pun u bozo lmao

[merry moat]

XD

[topaz stump]

welcome to the complex!

[merry moat]

Did you do it soundless?

[topaz stump]

you'll hate it here

great times!

[old lion]

i would like to know if it is neccesary to be four to play with a friend or we can be only 2

[merry moat]

It can be done in many ways

[topaz stump]

thats for a night when im feeling a bit more like torturing myself

[topaz stump]

you can do with any number of players less hten four

you could do it solo fi you wanted

[merry moat]

Hahaha! Let me know on that and I could join ya on the fun of it

[topaz stump]

but the game doesnt have difficulty scaling based on party size

so if you drop in with fewer people, then it's gonna be harder

would probably recommend filling out your party with bots if you dont have any humans to fill out the other slots

[shrewd mango]

there are also bots so you can play with only 2

[topaz stump]

^

[shrewd mango]

You could also lfg here in this server

[merry moat]

Or you can become a masochist player and suffer the hell like all of us has

[topaz stump]

wyvern you're being a bad influence

[merry moat]

XD

I’m sorry

[topaz stump]

<3

yeah u shoudl actually do the whole game solo with burst pistol/short rifle

[merry moat]

What? Soundless the whole game isn’t harder than that?

[topaz stump]

soundless would suck

[merry moat]

(I’ll admit… I’m having a rough time doing “Sound” runs than soundless

[topaz stump]

but at least i get to have fun by using good guns

[merry moat]

I’ve already done it cuz I’m deaf?

[topaz stump]

very different kinds of difficulty but doing some of the hardest missions with short rifle

idk man

[topaz stump]

well that just sounds like a skill issue

[merry moat]

XD

Don’t worry. I’ve got my Bio, my Guns and my…. (Teammates)

[topaz stump]

completely deaf or legally deaf?

if i may ask

[merry moat]

Both

[topaz stump]

i see

[merry moat]

😄

[topaz stump]

i.e. the kind of deaf that cannot be improved with hearing aids

[merry moat]

Nope!

[topaz stump]

sounds like tons of fun

man that would suck

no comms, dont know when the room wakes up, can't tell where waves are coming from

no wonder you're a bio main lmao

[merry moat]

XD

I main Bio, but I can use other tools if my team needs it

[topaz stump]

based

i mean

i usaully run bio

[merry moat]

I do have some solid videos on my gameplay regarding R7C2 and R6DX(now R6CX)

[topaz stump]

but if one of my teammates is actually deaf

i would happily surrender the bio lmao

[merry moat]

Lmao!

[pseudo scaffold]

I'm illegally deaf fr

[merry moat]

You have no idea my hatred towards shadows

[topaz stump]

those seem like extenuating circumstances

[topaz stump]

pdw crutch

[pseudo scaffold]

Have condition of "can't hear shit" I will "Huh" the fuck outta you

[topaz stump]

not deaf just dont listen 💯

[merry moat]

I stopped using pdw anymore… it’s got a bit more nerfed since R8 came but I did went absolutely bat-insane against the shadows

Ask Rayalot about it

[topaz stump]

i used to run pdw pretty much exclusively

damage nerf hit like a truck

it doesnt like

really

do things

anymore

i like it when my guns do things

[pseudo scaffold]

Pdw is still nice as a SMG but when it comes to nightmares. It's a bit of a struggle unless you can actively hit tumors

[merry moat]

Yea… I was a bit sad but PR is still a viable option

[topaz stump]

idk i hadnt run it in like a year

tried running it a little while back as a nostalgia trip more than anything

[merry moat]

For R8E2, I usually run as Bio, with Auto-Pistol and PR

[topaz stump]

and was like "damn this thing is dogshit"

granted that level was mostly chargers so maybe it wasn't a fair judgement

but still

[topaz stump]

lmao who needs to kill giants

[pseudo scaffold]

Then again. Most vanilla guns feel eh to me now from playing modded

[merry moat]

I leave the heavy killing to my teammates, I focus on staggering and sniping critical scouts with it

[topaz stump]

hey those are important roles

pr is a powerful gun

i just cant run it lmao

[merry moat]

XD. The AP is to help with the alarms… there’s too many of those damn Nightmares that can overrun us quite quickly

[topaz stump]

is there any main other than sawed off that can deal with nightmares effectively?

[merry moat]

But more than anything, I tend to avoid dealing or sneaking around shadows

[topaz stump]

deal with as in kill, auto pp is good against anything cuz they dont get to play the game

[topaz stump]

yeah you get double debuffed

[modest ibex]

hel shotgun is never bad

[topaz stump]

cant hear em OR see em

[topaz stump]

true

[merry moat]

And Bio is half-useful against them

[topaz stump]

idk when clearing i mostly use bio to double check if an enemy is alone enough that i have to actually be careful or if i can run at it with my hammer like an idiot

[merry moat]

That’s what I’m also saying XD. I’m double F’ed in shadow levels

[topaz stump]

skill diff, just be better L

if u had a better gaming chair you could hear

[merry moat]

Lol

Sadly, fixing hearing is not that easy

Want to hear a funny story?

[topaz stump]

i like funny stories

[topaz stump]

have u tried uninstalling and reinstalling them

[pseudo scaffold]

Put it in rice

[merry moat]

After a week since I completed the final level of GTFO…. I finally got a new headset that lets me hear ingame AND VC

[topaz stump]

huh

[pseudo scaffold]

[topaz stump]

what do you just crank the bass up to 11

feel the sleepers

[merry moat]

No?

I just use my eyes for em

[pseudo scaffold]

The headset makes You take dmg irl

swbf clone death sfx

[merry moat]

The only thing that I actually take damage is shriek-like noises

[topaz stump]

psychic damage?

[merry moat]

Sonic and Psychic

I use cochlear implants to hear which originally, I was not capable of VC communication

Cuz of all the static interference that headsets/mics have

[tiny trout]

Are you sure

That's a very strong statement

[modest ibex]

name a mission where taking a hel shotgun will be a below average choice

[tiny trout]

All of them

Hel shotgun bad

[modest ibex]

alright be wrong have fun

[tiny trout]

Likewise

[last tartan]

laughs in R6D1 ending part

[modest ibex]

ending part
that isn't a mission, that's part of a mission

[amber solar]

still isn't great for reactor only for 1/3 of the level

[modest ibex]

it isn't great but a single person with hel shotty + burst sentry can basically solo hold strikers in most reactors so not terrible either

[amber solar]

depends on the reactor and the holding position

on something like r2d2 not sure what angle u would take to funnel enemies like that

[modest ibex]

i ws doing r4d1 (sec) duos and hel shotgun works just fine on main bridge

[amber solar]

mh idk maybe it seems too open for me but there's a way to funnel

also that person saying it's bad it's trolling

[modest ibex]

(i know)

[modest ibex]

the way to funnel is to have the people stand close to each other

then the strikers when they come into shotgun range are all withing like a 30 degree cone which is completely fine

or, you can just back up slightly during the striker wave to get them closer

(flashlight off my beloved)

[amber solar]

i forget i don't play with normal people and i cannot get enemies to funnel down the sides lol

[modest ibex]

for r4d1 specifically it works well enough for the rest because pressure during waves is nonexistent

not sure how it would hold up on other reactors, but for most you can funnel enemies if you hold in some side room so it should be fine

[smoky storm]

game fun but game also not fun

skill issue on my part

[last tartan]

Wiser words have never been spoken

[pseudo scaffold]

Pros: there's a lot of bugs
Cons: there's a lot of bugs

[amber solar]

pros: me
cons: who

[topaz stump]

idk honestly i dont mind if one person wants to bring hel shotty on reactor

its an excellent oh shit panic button if a wave catches us all reloading

[amber solar]

what if the hel shotty is reloading

[topaz stump]

https://tenor.com/view/explode-terminator-fire-explosion-skeleton-gif-16779623

[last tartan]

thats just a skill issue tbf

just dont reload

[modest ibex]

me when people don't look at the enemies when deciding what weapon to shoot

[last tartan]

i mean, why even use guns
Just long kite the reactor

ez

[modest ibex]

this is true, im just shit at kiting

[last tartan]

And that

is a skill issue

[topaz stump]

bring quad hel rifle and erase the wave from existence

[modest ibex]

correct

[last tartan]

Nah just take 4 hel pp, 4 machineguns and 4 hel auto sentry and make a wall of bullets

[tiny trout]

If u want not trolling

[topaz stump]

the sleepers do not get to play the video game

[tiny trout]

Hel shotgun is... fine it's ok but not end all be all I'd rather take hel revo

[topaz stump]

i mean neither do you cuz nothign will die

massive stalemate

[last tartan]

Nah its fineeeeeee

[tiny trout]

Basically not trolling even, I don't like hel shotgun we agree to disagree

[modest ibex]

that's fine

[tiny trout]

Yeah

[last tartan]

Nah clearly hel shotgun sucks ass, is F tier and speedrunners cant play the game

also if you disagree with me you are gay or smth i forgor

[topaz stump]

hel shotty is cracked but it does have its drawbacks

and id understand disliking those drawbacks more than you like the upsdies

[frosty imp]

Hm.

[tiny trout]

Fuck true I've been misled

Hel shotgun is shit from the ass

[last tartan]

he has become more than man

[weak owl]

Thoughts on R3C1 Alpha?

[topaz stump]

stinky level\

[polar elm]

Skibidi

[pallid crater]

It was a pain in the ass for me that's for sure.

Took my group 6 tries.

[scenic ginkgo]

Heh

6 tries

It took me like 10 the first time i did it 💀

[amber solar]

i think it's a fine level but very basic

like originally this was the very first gtfo levels made available so it has a lot of that A one vibes with the key door at first, the fog which used to be noninfectious, the hsu and stuff

the buffs for the updated version are ok, i like the charger error and the fact the supply room has some of the biggest enemy density in the game

but the alarms prior, the general tiles used and the fluff inbetween it's not that good, the hsu rng sucks, the fact that the supply room needs a key is a bit nonsensical...

it's a very ok level that's fun but defo has the drawbacks of being so old too

[topaz stump]

hsu rng is garbo

u either get a super ez spawn and waltz through the level

or you get shit spawn and have to go like 5 rooms deep with chargers spawning deep

[amber solar]

yeah i mean i think it's defo noticeable but also not a run killer like how rng r4c2 ov extract can be

or well any kind of extract like that in general

it's defo a bit harder but i think its about the same for teams that know what to do

[topaz stump]

r4c2 ov extract isnt that bad tho

like even if you get super shit spawn its not super bad

maybe its just been a while since i played r3c1 but i remember it being way more punishing

[amber solar]

no but tbh i struggled thinking of another example KDNSKD
i just chose one that could fuck u with forward spawns

[topaz stump]

i mean

i guess with r4d2 if you get close cargo spawn you can get some shadows behind you early

start building up the spawn cap quicker

but that one kinda sucks regardless]

[amber solar]

but well c1 is punishing but u could also rush the first room depending on the scout and then u just don't have to deal with forwards spawns
plus u can pull the last room with a mine which is a pretty nice thing to do

[topaz stump]

mine deployer my beloved

its a fine level

maybe its just been a long time since i played any r3 outside of d1 lmao

[amber solar]

yeah i lean i like r3 as a expansion of r2 with some funny mechanics but c1 is kinda low on the levels i like playing of it

not cause it's bad it's just a bit basic

has some funky ideas i appreciate tho

[topaz stump]

c1 worst level in r3

dont @ me

[pallid crater]

Man you guys are like 2k+ hour veterans aren't you.

[amber solar]

for me b1 is way way worse, it's much more forgettable and it's just r2c1 but without the difficulty

[amber solar]

i have 1k hours ksks

[pallid crater]

Not the responses I was expecting.

[shrewd mango]

what were you expecting?

[amber solar]

i'd say i can express views on levels pretty well even without being like gamer god good

i just like talking of this game :]

[pallid crater]

I don't know it's just so wonderfully in depth lol

I appreciate it though.

[topaz stump]

730

hey i mean i like this game

i dont think this game has "bad" levels

[pallid crater]

I'm only at 266hrs played 😦

[topaz stump]

except for r4c3

just that i dont like c1 as much as i like the other levels in r3

[amber solar]

:[

yeah i mean i like playing pretty much all levels

some r just better

some r more basic

[topaz stump]

r1a1 on top

[amber solar]

so true :D

[i prefer r8a1]

[shrewd mango]

There's only one level I really don't like doing and even then it's aight

[topaz stump]

whats the best a tier in the game

[shrewd mango]

r6a1

[scenic ginkgo]

r8a3

[topaz stump]

real

there is a correct answer

[amber solar]

uhh r8a2 or r5a2 for me they are super super fun

[shrewd mango]

you literally speed through it like it's paper

[amber solar]

best a1 tho probs r6

[topaz stump]

r3a3

reactor fun

[amber solar]

true :]

pew pews

[dull halo]

YES

BEST A TIER

[topaz stump]

i like holding down the funny button until everything dies

[topaz stump]

EAL

REAL

[amber solar]

i like how out of the box the other two are tho
r8a2 is shit bat insane and i love it for that

and r5a2 well is the funny

[topaz stump]

r8a2 main is standard a tier

r8a2 secondary is like d tier

[dull halo]

BEST INTRODUCTORY REACTOR BEST R3 A TIER BEST OVERALL A TIER R3A3 SUPREMACY

[topaz stump]

i still dont think i have it 💀

[topaz stump]

UNFATHOMABLY BASED

[amber solar]

ermm r7e1 better introduction to reactor

:3

[topaz stump]

idk how it would work story wise but difficulty wise i kinda wish r3 came before r2

[scenic ginkgo]

r8e2*

[dull halo]

bring 2 scatters and c foam ez job well done

[topaz stump]

introduced gen cluster and reactor code hunt much better than r2 did i think

[dull halo]

Genuinely

[amber solar]

ermm u would've encounter a reactor by then

[dull halo]

I agree

[amber solar]

so it's not an introduction

[topaz stump]

also r3d1 my beloved

[scenic ginkgo]

just place r8e2 in r1c1

[topaz stump]

r2d1 my behated

[scenic ginkgo]

easy

[dull halo]

Hate that level

[amber solar]

:[

[dull halo]

Tbh

Pablo is zzzzzz

Reactor is zzzzzzz until last wave + codehunt

[amber solar]

i alway thought r7e1 got way more hate than it deserves
the first part can be boring but after the tp i think it's rlly fun

[topaz stump]

idk

[amber solar]

the reactors very like short on time and that forces a different way of cleaning waves

[dull halo]

I used to find it fun

[topaz stump]

immortal tank si awesome on paper

[dull halo]

But came to hate it

[topaz stump]

but in implementation it has some flaws

[scenic ginkgo]

alright chat

what is the most overrated level in GTFO

[dull halo]

No chat.

[amber solar]

i think the last code is genuinely some of the best tension gtfo can be tho

[topaz stump]

tanks just fuck up the entire team whenever they get on you
