@slow sail send the GTFO Bot the following message (using your email address): !key your@email.com alpha
I think Ricardo signed up late for the ambassador program maybe? Seeing how that's a new discord account.
They are no more key?
There is still plenty of key
OK because I do the command a'd I didn't see anything special
Do the following in a single message
!key youremail alpha
change youremail for your own personnal ambassador email
I've already done
Could you please DM me what you wrote to the bot please?
Ok
@vital hemlock im not sure if this is the case for you but type your email in all lower case
No it's OK the problem is resolved
alright Cool have fun playing
“We will be opening it up to play from oct 28 to nov 2nd”
...is this a typo? It’s oct 29 currently
Thank you @sick horizon
Nvm they fixed it lmfao
did anyone else get combat music on a loop regardless if there is a fight?
I got it on some try i've done, since i like it, it doesn't bother me :p
Due to the Steam-down problem I wasn't able to play it. It was the unluckiest day...
want to talk about some points that affect the atmosphere of the game:
movement - the monsters trigger only to WASD, got up / sat and jumps, you can rotate the mouse 360 degrees, push, reload and switch weapons (the sound is such that it’s scary to yourself) and there will be nothing.
long-range flashlight - I don’t know what the guys have in stock, but why did they bring it into the game for something? (you can dazzle or some other mechanics)
microphone participation in the game - for hardcore fans you can make a setting where the volume level from the microphone is a trigger for monsters
😬
There will be pitch black dark room as environmental effect (like the fog room + fog repeller) in other expedition
@sleek ridge good to know 🙂
Guys, do you know if the weapon and tools we had in alpha are going to be expanded with other weapons/tools?
There will be other tools to choose?
😭
we probably won't get anything new for next alpha
They only specified it would be with lots of bug fixes. So I'm assuming it's the exact same content we've already done. Just with a longer time-limit and less/new bugs to replace the old/fixed ones. 🙂
But who knows, they might surprise us with new little bits and bobs here n there.
i hope they give us more options to stealth
its kinda boring having to goo and melee over and over
I would like to see distraction tactics
yeah, that too
Throw a noisemaker into the next room or whatever, ensure you’re all out of the path of the mini swarm
Close the door quietly behind em.
Would be risky because they’d all be alerted while they move so if you were even within any bit of sightline they’d trigger right to your group.
is the alpha over
Hi
so has the alpha finished
Alpha has been extended to the 2th of November, but servers are down for bug fixes
This game runs on unreal 4 right?
when will the server open again?
well yes but no
this current alpha is closed until the 31st
it opens again until the 3rd
actually ppl are still streaming it so its still up?
it was shut down almost 3 hours ago afaik
If good players Get The Fuck Out, do bad players Die The Fuck In? 🤔
yup
Will the next event be a differential update? Or do we need to download the entire game again? < /me shakes fist at Unity build engine >
Just keep the game installed 🙂
it will update
no way
Yes way!
no fucking way
It better be Unity! I had to find Unity’s meeting room to play the game at E3 2018!
Lol
Okay, so Simon showed me the way there.
Simon actually makes for a good tour guide! Lol
Haha
I’m gonna guess this was already mentioned but the video gameplay that just came out says “Alpha oct 28 to nov 2nd”
Apparently that was a mistake
The original announcement has been edited with what seem to be the correct dates
I was way to tired when I wrote that.
Changed it in like a min though 😛
killed my hope to keep playing until sunday xD
haha, yeah.. sorry about that 😉
Technically soon you literally play till Sunday 😛
It was nice to play while it was closed. I rebooted and was no longer available, but still my friend and I had fun.
@gray token i still in the game and all still playeble)

Oh i didnt even see that there is a emote of our lord and savior. Now i really gotta get nitro to spam other servers with it

I see, the lord of the wubs has forsaken you. You have my pity
Ludvig emote when tho ;-;
2nd Simon emote when?
Do we have any sort of roadmap anywhere for planned features? Anything like potential character customization, more weapons, weapon customization, or more tools?
?t roadmap
You can view the roadmap here: https://gtfothegame.com/roadmap/
Thanks boss
yee
Its a little vague, I dont blame them tho. Hard to make promises rn.
The email stated "Once you redeem this Steam Key, the GTFO Alpha will be visible in your Steam Library, but you can’t download/install it yet."
And yet im downloading it
that’s because were after the first alpha test
Just an old text template left in the email then?
I am confused. People are #lfg-ing around but my game said alpha is closed until 31th. What are they playing?
Some people still have the alpha open and useable
oh because it count the hours separately?
Their games aren't updated to not allow access to the game
😱
🎵 🎹 
Aww yee
Yo wtf is amba
a synonym for ambassador
an abbreviation*
lo
God i'm stupid. The whole time i thought that its just another channel since the server is so big
it's technically another channel, but it's supposedly just for ambas
but everyone is an amba 
so kotaku is dead
nah
they fired the shitheads that inserted their shitty political views into articles
they could possibly heal up and become a good information source
anyone still playing the game?
didnt they already close the alpha ?
yeah
also a youtuber uploaded a video of him beating the alpha in like 48 minutes world record lol
Hm
Longer videos take longer to upload. Hence why it was uploaded after it ended, and also edits if there were any
What are your guys overall opinions of the game ? How was it for you ?
0/10, wasn’t home to play it
8/10, almost there
More levels ;)
The balance is good, the ammo is... almost right, the polish needs to be added (it's in alpha afterall)
and yeah, progression etc will be added later
I began to read the form to fill in the team of moderators, there is so much question......., and for all of them there is one answer........ starbucks unlimited😂 😬 😜
Someone mentioned that maybe the alpha was as hard as it was cause the progression was disabled.
ehhhhh don't quite think it's that
Progression might make it a biiiiit easier for some aspects, but
Yeh, same here tbh. I agree with you on the ammo needs a bit more polish and health just a little.
this expedition was medium tier difficulty
the health packs needs to be slightly less stingy, or the basic enemies need to do very slightly less damage ya
I had a great time with it, didn’t think stuff was too scarce. My group almost made it out but they took a wrong turn and forgot where to go when running to evac.
One thing I did was refuse to heal until at an alarm door since you regen up to 20%, so you can take a few ranged hits and one melee hit
Oh in fact we can still playing
So it really saved a lot of supplies
I think my only issues with it were that the mine layer and pistol felt bad compared to the other choices
mine layer is trash against solo enemies, but remember - horizontal mines
you want that laser being a trip, not a vertical stand-over
Yeah but the sentry was way more useful at the alarm doors.
I mean
I’d prefer one or two foams and two or three sentries in my teams
mine can take out a whole cluster of enemies though
And so can the sentries if in the right spot
Its preference, but I definitely think its stronger than the mines.
instantly is the key
Foam is without a doubt my favorite though.
oh yah, foam is great
c-foam grenades especially
"I don't want that moving, right now"
1 bio, and either 2 mines and 1 sentry or the other way around
But that loadout just because we found a load of c foam grenades in our runs
So many in fact that we wouldnt have had the use for the launcher once
In my closest run that ended at evac we didn’t even use the scanner
Well and we ended the run sucessfully and i used the thing the entire time 😄
scanner is great, but it needs a bit more power to be the 'viable choice' as it were
I mean I’m not saying its bad, just not the most optimal choice.
at least, in this mission
And yes that
There will be other missions with whole blackout sections where scanner will be CORE
Different missions may need other stuff
Exactly my thinking. I really like all the tools other than the mine
But for a lot of maps I’d just stick with foam and sentries.
you know what's fun though? C-foam a door when a horde spawns past it
set up a single mine at the door
Watch as it gets X+1 kills and the horde is gone
strats!
Exactly what we're doing during every security alarm
I feel like my mine guy just sucked with placement
oh, yah... that doesn't help lol
Just place it at the door
Its not hard I know
I had to point out to my friend that tried mines first that he could just.. put it on the wall...
Our first mine use was a double kill...
...he thought it was a trash tool because the enemies weren't WALKING OVER THEM
Killed 2 teammates 😄
Oh boy
oh, I had a laugh when I tried the mine
For the first alarm door I foam up every door with the nades since we stealthed the rest of the rooms
We got far in, I put it down then said "hey guys watch this" right next to them
and hit it with hammer
Then, when they laughed out of relief, I shot it :)
A buddy foamed the door to the first room after spawn and cleared every enemy except for 2 with a single mine
That mine killed at least 10 or so
I’ll give it more consideration. I just really like double sentry so I may ditch the scanner
So foam two sentry one mine
double sentry is gooood if you have c-foam
I love how the enemies get stuck in the foam too
you can sometimes get away with zero c-foam gun just cus of the nades though
I just love holding the scanner and playing eyes for my team ^^
Hey I’m not saying the scanner is bad, it just isn’t really necessary
"0 metres, that's in the fucking room man!"
Also helps to avoid a lot of battles (especially if you dont have any fog repellant)
fog repellers are not for seeing enemies
We saw about 2 in the room but my scanner said 7
They're for the wonderful DONK sound when they bounce
I got really good at cleaning rooms with the hammer with no detection so I’m not worried about the fog
well yah, but that doesn't always work
Sure, scouts are a thing
kill the one 'solo' enemy that you can see
his four friends 5 inches around the corner get angry
your 3 friends behind you get angry at you
I did find that if you kill it fast enough the rest won’t wake up, so I’d often sprint and kill 2-3 at a time. It does work.
works brilliantly until one takes more than one hit to kill
I mean we did that too, but i wouldnt want to risk it 40 minutes into the run
Sure.
better safe then sorry
What do y’all think about gun loadouts?
pistol is hot trash, can't put down big lads for shit lol
I felt the same way. Everything else I liked other than the revolver but that is definitely preference
the revolver can actually put in some work if you place your shots right
panic-spraying the big lad up close did a LOT of damage
I like the pistol :c
Like I said, preference. I prefer the shotgun or sniper instead depending on what I want.
pistol is great for normal enemies
if you have it mixed up a little one guy with a pistol can be pretty good
but the 4 pistols / 4 revolvers squad was also fun aint gonna lie
Probably the most common loadout I saw was smg and shotgun
aw I know that feeling
It felt to me like a sniper was pretty much mandatory if your luck was bad @undone acorn
Since it will 1shot the scouts
Unless you are me, who manages to miss the headshot and shoot the Scout in the shoulder when it's literally a few meters away lmao
haha we can't all be shroud
Sounds like someone didn't 2-man hammertime them inbetween applying hair extensions.
thanks for the keys sir
i love GTFO from Thailand
🎮 🇫🇷 *3 GTFO 10
What will be the hour of opening tomorow ?
No player FR in this Channel ? just speak FR GTFO 10 my lobby is open .
RPS called GTFO an alien shooter REEEEEEEEE
i have 3 GTFO Alpha Gift,is that normal?
Yes
ok thx
ah ok. Thank you! @slim lark Seems to be 14:00UTC then.One hour earlier 😎
eh I mean 12:00UTC. 😄
In 23 more hours 🙂
hm
truth be told i was never really a big fan of the payday franchise so when one of my friends got me to sign up for ambassador program i was hesitant but needed games to play with them anyway
i'm so glad i like this game this time around, its very difficult and feels like coop matters a lot more and the hordes of enemies feel more manageable without reducing difficulty so danke devs
Happy that tomorrow i will be able to play
Sad that I won’t play tomorrow
But in the weekend you will play with me!
2 puppy's uwu
But in the weekend you will play with me!
But in the weekend you will play with me!
Yuuuus
Will only be home later than I usually will be on Friday though >.>
Will only be home later than I usually will be on Friday though >.>
Why is there double messages of you two
o: what meannn???
hah
wha?
two puppers
probably discord lagging and thought it didn't send when it did
so hey there is apparently a glitch to get into GTFO? rite..?
just wait for 15 hours, lol.
yeah there is but I'd reccomend against it
it's much easier just to wait until tomorrow
wdym faye
I’m the third. Is there any prize for this?
fourth
When will it go live again? Tonight at midnight, or tomorrow at 7am PDT?
today if its 31st already
for me its 31st 0:39
yeah it's planned for 7 am PDT
Thursday 7AM PDT to ack 7 AM PDT Sunday
no
It's not live. People have found a way to get around the screen that says "The alpha is closed" and are playing it. I'd reccomend not doing that however, and waiting for tomorrows bug fixes @normal wren.
To play we just sneak through a lobby :p
ahh fair enough then haha
How did they do it?
Invite I think o:
Well, it was till you killed the game
Now you can't even make a lobby, unless I am thinking wrong :thonk:
At first, some didn't closed the game after the alpha, and then they invited some more players, thoses can invites others players and that continue :p
Are there still people that can play or not anymore?
If you are invited in a lobby, you can leave and open your own lobby for your friends or others asking for a lobby
Please just wait for 13 hours and 40 minutes. 🙂
There is ^^ , some are on vocal chan below us, and many are on there own discord/vocal server
I'd still reccomend waiting for the bug patches tomorrow though.
What kind of tips ? Like be patient and wait the update for the bug fix ? :p
For example I want to experience ladder bug myself
No, I was thinking about how to get past 1st key card door
oooh
GTFO will get an founders edition or something like that?
Tbh I would use ladder animation bug as a feature, when you celebrate a successful expedition for example, imagine that conga line
First thing I thought about when I've seen it was "spy crab" from TF2
@whole terrace We have no Information about that, yet. 🙂
Im really excited to play the game, the gameplay that they released some days ago made me want to play the game as soon as possible
We all are 😄
I got like 3 School tests tomorrow and more 4 tests in the friday, but i dont mind stop my studies to play the game
I'm taking Unity certifications "exams" some day this week 😄
Ohhhh
Good for me that the Alpha starts right when my School ends, so i wont lose a lot of time
I will get to play when I get home from work tomorrow.
Guys
Does anyone know when the alpha is open again? It says 12 hrs on a countdown.. 😦
no problem =)
you've got until the 3rd to play until though
so I hope you get some time in!

are they gona open up alpha sign ups again for this test
don't forget: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santonian
@fallen flame People can still register.
1
No Update yet?
What ambassador means? did i just accidentely sold my soul to someone again?
update up
I am curious to know what are the fixes, anyone know?
We have been blessed with a patch
@random shore I think there are patch notes in the game.
Verify game files or try starting the game
To increase more the performance power, is it better to use the TAA or the FXAA_HIGHPERFORMANCE?
Well.... That would be the high performance option.
which one?
Because TAA is the first option, logic want that the first one is the lowest that gain more performance (Low > Med > High > ecc..) but since there is also the FXAA high performance... i am not so sure about THIS particular option
where do i go to update to the new aphia
Should update automatically. If it doesn't, restart Steam and see if that works
Where? In steam?
in game
I don't think so. Are you able to start the game?
yes
Are you able to connect to rundown, etc when it's started, or are you stuck in a screen saying the alpha is temporarily closed?
yeah i was in a lobby by myself
Then the game should be updated. If you want to make sure, restart the game and check if you see the new changelog when the game boots.
Should be the same one as in #known-issues
ok i try i just redownloaded it
ok cool will do
Where does game store the crashlogs
@earnest orbit are the lobby open for anyone to join or do i need to invite people
You can only join/invite steam friends. If you don't have anyone to play with I recommend checking one of the lfg-channels in the discord. Lots of helpful and friendly people looking to play!
please help, i can't play because it says i need to have an online connection
@rich moon That bug should be fixed by now. Make sure you have a stable connection. If you do, try restarting steam and/or your PC to see if that fixes it. If it doesn't please leave a bug report at #bug-reporting
One question, we are under NDA?
@whole terrace No. Stream away!
so i didnt get my 3 keys to give away.
i still got my own tho
anything i can do? i wanted to give the keys to my friends to try out this weekend
if anyone wants to play, join GTFO-70
Hey I'm looking for people to squad up with. If you want, add my on steam (or here) - MiscreantSpoon
Can my Ambassador-Friends still get keys for the Alpha?
Yes @proper wing !
What if the Bot does not respond?
If they’ve already gotten their confirmation emails for ambassadorship they just need to come here and get their role + keys, if they can’t get the role or keys from the bot then just ask one of the admins/mods
asd
@proper wing the bot wouldnt respond to the key commands for me. i sent it a dm containing only my email, then it responded and then the command worked fine
thanks that worked for my friends unfortuneatly since i had given them one of my friend-keys for steam the did not get additional 3 keys to invite other people 😦
Is there anyway to kill the ones with the feelers?
Sniper shot to the head or fully melee charge to the head. If you fail and alert him, it's turning blue and become invulnerable for the flash animation and have to prepare quickly for the worse. @torn cove
Alright, cheers!
just wondering... looking at the 2 expeditions i have seen so far. is there going to be something other than, find the HSU?
Yes, there will be plenty more objective and different expedition. This first alpha test is but a tiny taste of what 10CC have in store for GTFO . And there is only one expedition for this alpha test with limited weapon / tool / monster / etc.... The map layout is the same, but the enemy placement, item and objective location are randomly generated. @unique creek
ok thank you that is very reassuring. Thank you
You are welcome! Stay tuned to more information release from 10CC and at the roadmap. 😉
was wondering one of my buds i sent an alpha code to had an error come up when trying to redeem it will there be any more alpha codes given out?
@upper stirrup Your friend can also sign up as an ambassador and get an alpha key through the @untold notch
oh cool ill let him know then thanks @upper stirrup
no probs!
the !key command isn't working
It should be !key Email@Domain.asdf alpha
yep i know @balmy quarry didn't send a key
Try again
did the ambassador email verification
Bot was down for a short moment
do you need to type the ` ?
No
not getting a key. keeps telling me no more roles to give
Did you put a space in !key?
ok will try. thank you
No space in !key
Awesome, it looks like you already have the Ambassador role. 😄 My job here is done, I don't have any more roles to give you, sorry! this is what it tells me and i still get no key
So we ambassadors get one key, and that key can only be used for 3 times or?
No
I see, noted!
one key for you, and 3 steam gifts in your inv
Question... is there a "proximity" setting of some sort, where even if you swing and one-shot the sleepers, the ones around you wake up?
I can't find any sort of pattern to identify why occassionally it fails.
@obtuse rampart There are 2 main points to this,
1 - Yes its proximity based and hit one close to another will cause it to awaken
2 - If one is in (larger distance) and in LoS but is glowing at the time you kill, it will also awaken
If you kill one within like 2~ characters distance from another one it can alert them even if they're asleep. If they're "looking" at another one and you kill it they can aggro from just over the full length of one of the double wide doors.
The awake aggro range is biggg
hello
lol! Okay, so in those situations, are you honestly just stuck going balls out and hitting them with loud weapons?
@half bison
no, team coordinated takedowns
If you organize right your team can basically do each room in a sweep as long as your tracker is decent
well not including scouts or whatever they're called with the tentacles for heads.
Ah - fair enough - was only playng a duo, and there was quite a few spots where timing it just wasn't good enough
scouts you can take down silently with hammers, especially if you have cfoam, but...
still rough
Доброе утро
@halcyon vortex English please 🙂
@slim lark Доброе утро to you too 🙂
Don’t make me summon demons
Somebody didn't have a Доброе утро today I guess huh
No i didn’t get one, cause i’m lonely, how much are you trying to break me 
this game creepy
.
Ahh can't wait to get home and try to complete this expedition
When the game needs you to play stealth but you've played payday 2 and splinter cell
How do send keys to my friends
In steam inventory, as unknown packages, there is an option to gift it
anyone had a survive screen after picking up the HSU?
we didnt need to go to the extraction point
- feels like ive cheated* XD
do you have video proof of that?
unfortunately my video didnt record 😦
So you just went to the hsu, did the scan, then immediately got survived screen without running back to the extraction point?
exactly
Can you submit a #bug-reporting please
yeah of course, gunna run again and test again after.
fixed my recording software too xD
сan i play with anyone?
Be sure to check out the LFG channels
@hollow mural you came to the Security scan event last attempt, and then retried and got there again?
unfortunately we havent got back there
oh we had found and scanned the HSU
once we scanned the HSU it cut straight to the survive screen. we think it may be because we put sentry down at the extraction point before the scan
Did you put it where the scan point is at the base of the elevator or further up in the hallway somewhere?
We had 3 sentries
I dont know where everyone placed em exactly
we mostly put them at the base tho
i believe one was at the elevator and one was further up the hallway
@oak rune lenny was another team member
did you see the progress bar at all showing a security scan going on?
for the hsu not extraction
Thanks. I'm not sure if Ludvig will need more info, but I'll be giving that a test and see if I can repro.
we are also going to and have my video recording software comfirmed as working
Also, don’t know if this helps, but i threw some glowsticks along the way from the HSU to the 2 alarm room
Just to let you know
sigh, worst thing ever the internet and the ability to post comments on steam lol
i mean am i wrong in this alpha states its a network test? more then a demo of the game
from the view of what i could create myself this game so far is great.
its more bug research
exactly but you have people posting reviews already!, its like DUHH!
oh anyone know the best way to kill a scout creature( tendrils monster)?
sniper when the tendrils are retracted
The scouts are so wonky to me right now
One attempt was with a shotgun point blank - didn't work. Another had sniper to the head - didn't work. 2x charged hammer strikes from steath? No effect. One final one, we had the entire team sneak up on it and just unload with lmgs. Still called the horde.
Dunno if this is lag or glitchy hitboxes or something, but in 10+ attempts, we have never managed to successfully kill a scout before it calls.
make sure you hit it's head with the snipe shot, and not anywhere else. When its tentacles are out, their head tilts forward. If you don't get a kill instantly, then it will go to an immunity faze while it calls for backup, which is why it won't take any damage while blue.
it will go to an immunity faze
... Ok that's bullshit. But thanks for the info, that explains a lot.
not bs
the games is easy anyway
where is the hardcore part if not an immume creature
Hah.
If your really worried about setting them off just make sure someone has cfoam
Yeah, when we saw a scout, we'd always set up c-foam and a pair of sentry guns in preparation. We play around that, but it would be nice to be able to not be forced to use the sniper there. You can kill the sleepers after they're alerted before they scream, you should be able to do that with the scout too.
Considering the huge ass horde the Scout can call that can screw up a run so easily, a little more counterplay than one specific gun couldn't possibly hurt.
I didn't mean to say anything about making them a cakewalk, just questioning if the current balance of Scouts is fine.
I could be wrong, I'm simply pondering here
Stealth is counterplay
I actually submitted that as a bug report because I can't see it as being any other way. Every other monster has a brief time between 'awake' and 'screaming' that lets you kill them, but not the scout. Additionally, the scout has a super long, visible windup animation, which has to serve some purpose. Either it's to warn you that a swarm is coming, in which case it's way too short and would be better served by just delaying the swarm by 10 seconds to let you get ready, or to let you kill it and fix your fuckup. Even the other big, tanky guys that can one-shot you don't have i-frames in their animations.
There's simply no precedent for it. Everything else has similar features/behavior to it, but without the invincibility. It can't be intentional, because if it was, the devs would have applied that to everything else.
It's intentional but it could have been handled a little better
Nah, scout invincibility is intended design, your supposed to deal with it BEFORE setting it off
I’d throw that over in suggestions instead
Then they need to shorten the hell out of that animation so that, even if there are i-frames, it isn't so glaringly obvious. In every other game out there, a giant wind-up animation either means "Get out of the way" or "Kill it fast". Since it agros the entire map, we can't get out of the way, which leaves us to 'kill it fast'
Which we can't do.
Again the idea is you don’t set it off in the first place. The counter play would simply be not fucking it up :P
That's fair, and it's obvious that's the intention behind the Scouts.
You can 1 shot snipe it, cgun or cfoam grenade it, or sneak up and 1 shot with melee. You’ve got plenty of options
Wait, it can be one shot with melee?
They don’t have much health surprisingly
Oh hell yeah, they’re not buff like the other two large enemies
I've never successfully melee'd a scout
That didn't seem obvious, surprisingly
It wasn’t to me until someone told me in chat how to deal with them
whats this about the cfoam on it? Never heard that one
And they also can be foamed without alarming them, you say?
That needs to be added to the description of c-foam stuff
I never tried that because I only knew the 'slow-down' and 'barricade' functions of them
Fun stuff, you can also deal with big guys with cfoam if you have a full group, freeze him and have everyone start wailing on it at the same time. They die before the unfreeze
Foam does freeze enemies. Didn't know there were so many ways to get around Scout besides sneaking and sniping.
I’m not sure if it would work with 3 people though
That's a lot of useful information. Thank you so much!
Don't even need to freeze them. A team of 3 or 4, all charged can kill the big guys in one, maybe two swings
I figured that a good beat down should’ve able to take them out, we’ve never had a situation where just running up without freezing would be possible
The big boys hit like a truck, but they can be taken out without foam. That's how my friends and I deal with them
But it might be best to use foam if there's more than one.
Also, isn't sealing doors with the foam gun a little too costly? A full charge doesn't cut it.
Now that I think about it, do mines oneshot scouts too? If you stick on in its patrol
I still maintain that there should be some method of catching a fumble, since every other monster has one, but if mines work so it isn't just 'Use sniper rifle' or 'git gud', that's at least a step in the right direction.
@young jewel I saw a guy earlier recommend doing it, but with how much more....satisfying it is to melee them I haven't actually tried it.
Noted. I'll keep that in mind for next time.
Ok so mines don't aggro enemies at all
But I had to use 2 to kill the scout
Overall 2/10, would just melee instead
But maybe it's a thing for taking out big un's """"""Stealthily""""""
Getting a good melee in feels great
So uh. Are joining lobbies not a thing in this alpha or do we have to host and invite every time?
host and invite every time so far yes
chonkster, big lad, chunky boi, run, etc etc
run i like that one
Killed two more of them, got to the first key, got overrun. Not bad for Soloing.
Looking for people to play with
Reported a terminal bug.
@nocturne bronze @austere kiln you can join a hosted lobby and friends can join on your hosted lobby through the rundown.
i know, (i think) he was reffering to a MM system
probably not, my bad then
Does Zone 14 have an alarm on it?
No
Thanks
whats the command to list items in a zone like z10e?
I dont believe you can anymore
What's the best way for navigating the zones?
Eyes.
Kaine-Ga-Roo if you look at any security scan door it tells you in like red letters opening it will start an alarm if it has an alarm
Hey is anyone else having trouble with steam?
@upper stirrup you can list that floor with list (floornumber) and then ping anything on that floor
You can list by zone but its actually 100% buggy and puts stuff in other zones in that list
@acoustic glacier Apologies for @ you directly but not sure where to ask this - will there be opportunity for the AMA to open again after these alpha tests?
Appreciated :D
You can actually draw a gameplan at the map LMAO
^ i prefer calling the big one the Juggernaut while the ones that shoot are called lamps
It fades pretty quick sadly.
You can't even draw a smiley in time. Devs, pls fix.
Petition to rename scouts to "feelers".
all the spookies i see, i call them nakies
._.
out now
hey
Having played the game now together with some friends I'd like to give the devs some feedback :D. We made several attempts and after ~10 attempts we successfully completed the extraction and man it was a ride.
At first you think "What the actual Fuck?!?", but after some trial and error and getting better at the game, working out strategies etc. this first impression turns into a rush of emotions. Each time getting further and further.
I really hope that future work put into the game stays at the level I got to experience with my friends in the alpha. Other large companies put out "finished" games that look far worse and are full of bugs with a personal of over 500 people and you 9 guys managed to deliver a gameplay experience that was so smooth and surprisingly bug free with a technical alpha 😂 Absolutely amazing!
We four guys all agreed without hesitation that we will buy the game once it's finally available on the market. That has been the first time since years that a 4 player coop game demanded REAL strategy and teamplay other than "just run and gun".
My friends and I all played last night for ~3 hours and even though we didn't finish the mission we all had a lot of fun. Kinda curious where the alpha mission lies on the range of difficulties, since it proved to be quite challenging and most of us have played a fair number of shooter and stealth games.
I see. ;-;
@austere kiln Chad
Hey, Dumb question, what does the "amba" in the "amba-chat" stand for?
ambassador
oh
lmao
Thanks :))
np
when will EA release?
sweats profusely
EA 2 confirmed?!?!
Ok for real, idk, i dont think anyone here does tbh
hey just got my key today, myself and the friends ive played with LOVE the game, im looking forward to more GTFO! We played 2 hours and still didnt escape
the mechanics are really good, and challenge you to learn them or die trying
I don't know how this game slipped under my radar up until a friend told me about it yesterday, ever since I've been playing non stop on the alpha, getting in as much time as I can before it closes, for an alpha. this game is in credit smooth running, the graphics and the enemy's scare the hell out of you and it's surprisingly bug free. If the game just gets more polished with more levels as time goes on, I'm definitely going to be buying it.
My solo runs have been running over an hour and I still haven't gotten it all the way. Closes tonight I think for alpha.
Phew. Still, have work tomorrow. 😦
Definitely enjoyed the Alpha. That was so much fun. Sadly my pals are all busy so no group just now... but I can't wait to play the full game. Oh man I'm so stoked!
Good to hear @velvet canopy !
The alpha has 12 hours left doesn’t it?
Does the Alpha end at 7am PDT tomorrow?
Have the devs considered changing how the fog works so repellers don't stay pointless until mid-late game?
Also either remove, or repurpose long range flashlights. They're useless because how excessive their effects are, and how much of a hindrance they would be traversing a facility full of light sensitive monsters.
Maybe there's a shadow monster that only dies when properly lit up?
long range flashlight is a tool of mass destruction if your team get held up somewhere
Makes it easy for everyone to see them coming
Radars and turrets already do a pretty nice job to cover that.
turrets do run out of ammo easily, and radars don't help much when you need to click on their heads for them to actually die
flashlights do not get your team killed, careless use of them gets your team killed
Careless use of any of the fire arms gets your team killed. Flashlights can't kill for shit.
Shoot one. Close the door. Cfoam it. Put up a landmine. Profit.
You win. Barely any rounds used. Only one landmine and one cfoam grenade. Or a foam launcher I guess.
with that said, it would be nice if those long range flashlights could be placed on the ground
yup it'd be a nice easy solution to give them a proper use
should probably post that as a suggestion
alot of people already have i've seen it come up atleast 10 times
@visual geyser https://countingdownto.com/?c=2711539 (should be right)
My squad and I bear the first zone. Really hyped for the Release of the game and future Beta!
ok so ive been playing alone to get myself used to the game and the smg seems very weak even at close range
More I use the smg the more I like it
Morning!
I like the SMG a lot.
I like the pistol honestly, the ammo cap is nice
yea the pistols my personal favorite
DMR for me, perfect for the ranged guys
At the start of the Alpha, people were calling the pistol a "pea shooter". Never got to use it, tho.
aslong as your landing your shots its pretty good
Every weapon is a peashooter if you don't get a headshot at some point, even the shotgun
Mostly comes down to how well you can handle the actual weapon
best just to use a hammer
Completed the whole thin with just a hammer
trying to find a strat to do it solo
Mines, MG and cFoam
mines and MG are the best loadoat for soloing
i like the magnum, reasonable ammo and can one shot the normal guys
Guys, it's impossible to escape when you'r 2/4 x) ?
The fewer people you have, the more difficult some areas will be, as the game does not scale to number of players, but this particular expedition is possible with fewer than 4 players.
for some reason the "game announcement" channel is sometimes empty or take ages to load. Anyone has the same problem and maybe a solve ?
I just waited it out a little personally, spamming the "Load more messages" button
if we play with 2 people or 4 people is there any difference in difficulty, amount of mobs present etc or none at all ?
As far as i know there's no handicap when you play in a team made up of less than 4
yeah that's what I thought
tried with a friend and we couldn't get far
still fun tho
yeah but I'm shit
we just could get to the terminal, figure out where to go, then move 2 more doors and die. On average
I've almost made it solo, but I messed up and looped wrong, insta-ded haha
well I can't aim even if my life depends on it so it makes it harder when weapons go hot
are they gonna change mines btw? Because currently they count as a stealth kill on the scouts if you mine their path
which is how we die most of the time. We try to melee it out but at some point it's not enough
je cherche mon chat il est noir
I want to do a suggestion for the discord server but the channel is locked, how can I do my suggestion?
Check the pinned messages in that channel
but it's for the discord serveur
You want to ping/message D0cR3d#0001

@vital hemlock
👀
i don't understand
message @oak rune
oh ok
Well, person will see you message, if you ping him.
message @wet pine for server suggestions please
ok
Anyone know when the alpha ends? Got sent a confusing message that says it finishes on december 3rd xD
Awesome ill try and get steam to clock 30 hours before the end xD
Yes just dont cover the water mark
Yeah, so long as you don't cover up the watermark in the bottom right I think.
ok ty
if anyone wants to play, join GTFO-04
Good Game. and fun. but... plz scout invulnerable mode deleted ...
you can just take them out with the sniper 1 hit
yes. but do not miss is recover. and multiply scout is hard.
one time I sniped a scout and the shot noise did not alarm anyone.
The double scout in the same room is hell too..
Ive noticed alot in the final room of zone 16 that the little divider between the 2 sections is still like a door where when you agro one side, the other doesn't agro with it idk if that's a bug or not but it usually makes the double scout chance more bearable
I should've tested how good/bad hammering Scouts is even if it was solo when I had a chance. Anyone that has, are there hitbox problems with them? I heard someone tried it with a fully charged swing and no cigar.
I've had exactly that happen to me twice, but other times the entire head just pops off.
Pretty sure their heads are bugged overall sometimes.
i'm pretty sure you can get them solo if you hit the head
It seems pretty inconsistent right now
What are the most effective guns against a big lad? I tried sniper and this guy eats 3 shots and just keeps walking at me, even with their head blown off
Shotgun can 3 shot
I'm assuming foaming them first would be the safer way to get them.
If you have foam yeah, you can just ice them up and safely do whatever to them
Shotgun works for me to wear down the giants.
I've been running the same loadout (safe for switching sentry for foam gun) up until now.
I foam and you can one shot melee when you foam em
Or 1 sniper shot. Their head hitbox is just fucked I think right now
btw it feels a little doo doo that you have to spread the foam all over the doors to seal them, instead of having a set amount of foam needed to be applied.
Almost getting bamboozled by that Scout, jesus.
yea but still proof you can solo them with the hammer
That's sweet, but my problem wasn't if they were soloable, I was asking how bad their head collisions are when hitting them with a hammer.
next time i do a run and have a chance i'll help test that for you then
Their hitboxes aren't that bad.
Its pretty consistent to smack their heads even while crouched
I'd rather test it myself since that's why I signed here for 😅 but that's lovely of you to compromise, thanks.
of course and if you decide you want a hand just ping me
Even if they aren't that bad, it's always worth checking, specially since alerting a Scout is such a big deal.
for sure
@gilded skiff Sometimes, they just don't die to a headshot with the hammer that's fully charged. Take another swing just in case.
Are you implying you get a second chance after hitting them once? Is that a thing?
if your really quick you can tap them again before they go invincible
Huh, good to know. Still, them not dying in one hit might be an inconsistency, but I wouldn't know.
yea its random it just happens every now and then with the hammer so good to keep in mind whenever going for that
is there a difference in melee weapons?
got it, thank you! does that also work for the big boys?
when popping the scouts head does that only work when his feelers are retracted? or can you pop him either way
The tentacles don't have collision so you can shoot through them
The big boys will take more than a headshot to kill
a friend and i tried to double melee the big boys, didnt work
I think it takes 4 people fully charged hammer
Big boy is 4 people fully charged and sometimes an extra hit or two. Scouts are best dealt with via Sniper, or cfoam, OR mine layer if your desperate
But i figure the devs will probably make the mine explosion not quite so silent in the future :P
Peg the Scouts with a C-Foam grenade then crush his skull with a charged hammer.
You can peg enemies with C-Foam grenades without aggroing anything; the same can be done with the launcher. Interestingly enough, this does not cause aggro at all -- not on nearby enemies, nor on the afflicted enemy. The afflicted enemy will not aggro even after "unfreezing"/after the duration of the foam.
This is true, but most of the time it isn't really worth going for unless the scout is in an area with like 15-20 guys around him.
or double scout.
how many charged hammer shots to the scout head does it take
The scout? 1.
Surely its not 1. We tried it a few times always was 2
The scout is one fully charged hit to the head, every time.
It becomes invulnerable to damage if it survives a hit until it calls for help
rather than 'before it triggers', don't you mean 'before it starts charging'?
because those few seconds of trying to melee an invul scout count
Good to know that, easier to kill than me and my squadmates tought. We always set up traps for them, with sentry guns and all. We were being extra careful, matching the timing, so that 2 players sneaked up behind the big fellows for simultaneous smashing
when did they have a new alpha or beta ?
-> roadmap
?t roadmap
You can view the roadmap here: https://gtfothegame.com/roadmap/
oh thank you
How would I report a but after the alpha is closed?.. I was gonna go back for another run to take some screenshots but I couldn’t get another chance.
Just do it without the screenshots
aaaa but it’s a bit hard when I don’t remember the zone I was in..
It was a spot where you could jump up and if you weren’t careful, you’d slip between crates and the cave walls, completely stuck with no way out
Sigh... no more matches... T.T i hope we can have an expanded version soon
My friend caught a little funny moment in the game where my character froze for a solid moment in the climbing position
It was hilarious
Yeah that bug is pretty common, and pretty funny
the ladder walk was awesome
Time to go dormant till the next testing phase, yeet
you should have done like KS, never leave
Can people still join the amba.?
not sure about that tbh
Interestingly I had an issue that was bothering me and jsut realised it seems to vary on everyones screenshots
A second layer of text duplicated faded behind at different distances from the front layer
Seems normal
yea that seems to sort of be their style
Like a faded 3D effect on the UI, right? That's normal.
Is it a bug if you’re in the after part of the security check and the alarm sounds the sleepers can’t hurt you at all I stood there for a solid moment tbaging the ground stupidly while my friend laid a short distance away downed
Last game of the night for us^ it was kinda funny too but unsure if that was suppose to happen or if it was a bug -it went back to normal after I stepped out of the circle kinda like the Sea bear lol/
Well, I joined the ambassador program yesterday, but I think currently are no keys available...;)
the current playtest ended you were just a little too late for this one
Warning! Joining Late. No Alpha Keys. [ Unintelligible]
They’ll probably give them out again during the uhhh Beta testing
Yeah, I read that I was a little too late. Unfortunately I saw the hint on the Alpha test only yesterday. Too bad - I am really looking forward to the first practical impressions;)
Hi. How do you get a key?
I'm pretty sure you can anymore because the testing ended.
u can still get key but u cant play till next test
u get the keys by signing up in http://www.gtfothegame.com/ and DM @untold notch !key xxxxxxx@xxxxx.com(your email wich used to sign up) alpha like , !get key xxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com alpha
!key email alpha
That's the exact format
^
Sigh.. i miss the scary moments i had with all the matches done... T.T i hope to see an expanded version soon...
@halcyon charm early access is when you can purchase. Devs are intending to have that out in December
thank you!!


Where are the devs posting updates? I'd assume here in the discord?
There's also the roadmap you can follow.
Waiting then for early in december ..
there may also be a playtest again before then we don't know but looks like we have a good chance considering what was said in #the-warden
After seeing that post I don't feel so bad about barely going past the initial security alarm
yea for most of it was alot struggling to clear once then a few teams just clearing again and again and again
well, then you also have to include the people who did a run over and over and over again just because they wanted to be able to clear it solo
also guilty of that, but I didnt fully clear it
I am fairly certain every person who did a solo run, has at least 25 runs of not making it.
I played it way more than I’d like to admit. After finishing my solo I did it like 40 times with randoms
@hollow creek I was so close. 😭
😦
What's amba?
ambassador
Phew.
My PC's not supposed to be able to run this game but, on low settings, my machine did quite well and no crashes!
Anyway, completely hyped up for this game; close friend and I were bored and I remembered I had more keys to the Alpha, I gifted her one and... we had a blast! She doesn't stop asking me when the game's coming out so we can play. 😅
It’s addicting for sure
And well optimized for an alpha. I had no crashing issues whatsoever. A few audio issues here and there, but nothing to prevent me from loving the game.
😅
Bugs are to be expected.
If the game lacks bugs during the Alpha, that's a sign that the game will be quite successful in the future.
Todd Howard. Is that you?
Perhaps.
Base building didn't just work. 😠
Would you like to buy a base building pack for 60 USD? It includes a single set, with 2 different walls, 2 different floors, and 2 different doors.
Yes,
Will there be pictures of windows?
ah yes some windows
Disclaimer: Bases not permanent upon logout.
@sacred stump It’s possible that PCs that don’t meet the minimum specs listed will run the game fine. At this point, the listed specs are just an educated guess based on some low spec internal testing.
I’m running a 1050Ti with an i7-7700HQ (laptop) and I can run full settings and get over 60fps at 1080p.
Because it's only Alpha, maybe in future they will make better graphics and textures.
I honestly think graphically, the game already looks pretty polished (but maybe I’m biased?)
I don’t know how noticeable people found it during the alpha this past weekend, but the eggs/potatoes were gone, replaced by actual blood splatter.
I also thought it looked really good but im just running gtx 1060 3gb
I had it maxed on a 1070 ti and it’s pretty sexy if the film grain decides not to make everything look like snow
1080ti and Ryzen 2600x and I was buttery smooth, I did not notice any snow effects though
lmao
Am using a 740 GT.
🙃
so many of us beat it?
1.25%
The first alarm?
You can do a few things. Get cfoam grenades to lock down the doors. Setup turrets outside them so they shoot at sleepers trying to bash in. Setup landmines.
yup there 2 alarm door!
Don't worry. Jax is OP in tft
True 
where do we put game suggestions
You do ? before your message
@sharp quartz use the ?suggestion command before your message in the #gtfo-chat channel.
Example:
?suggestion add fortnite dances to gtfo
Offft prisoner survival rate 1.25% 😲😲
IKR!
My survival rate on Tarkov is higher than the whole community 😂😂😂
Hey @thorn lance there was actually three alarm doors on that expedition, 1 to get to zone 13, and one for 15 and one for 16
But normally you wouldn't have to do both 15 and 16, just one or the other
It’d be 4 actually.

@gleaming agate
Thanks for asking, things are going well.
School will end soon enough for me and i'll be on break, everythings going well including my internship at my humane society.
Tomorrow I will move up the ladder in experience and will be able walk/pet the animals

How are you doing Evo? 🙂
Yout welcome Evo
lmao, i have an awesome #social-feed channel view
Damn, can't attach screenshot here :(
well, i disabled previews in Discord settings and now GTFO Bot just spams empty messages
Oh yeah, that'll happen since it's an embed message
sad thing - I really don't like previews, but I'd like to see twitter feed..
hi
what's up orange
Steamlink
Cool creation
Allows you to stream your steam games anywhere on your phone to play
Cons - pc must be on to be able to stream to your phone ( mine allows it to stream while on stand by mode )
Pros- play anything thats installed on your steam!
(also good for trolling people at home thinking the pc is playing on its own)
Gaming Laptop. Cool creation. Allows you to play your steam games anywhere without worrying whether you left your computer on at home... 😎
Mine is kinda heavy for an lenovo 😂
sigh.. i miss the game... when we'll get another one!!! 😩
Hi
Hello brother
I'm relaxing watching TV right now. Been an exhausting few weeks, sorry
Darn
Time to pull a D0cR3d#0001 / 82942340309716992
... I'm so confused.

They found out your secret D0c. Exile yourself far far away.
tv time
so ea phase is on 1. dec?
no\
They are planning to have ea sometime in december, but they haven't given a set date
so they could release it in january if they wanted
It actually counts up from sometime in january
The counter is not an actual date to datamine
so why is the counter ingame?
probably something for the lore
but what if im right
I highly doubt you are
I can promise you the timer does not coincide with a release date.
Oof
Does anyone have footage of GTFO that I could use in a short video project. The footage in looking for is just a general playthrough, but hopefully where the player takes some time to look at the monsters, and the drop at the start of the match.
I'd ping some people in #live-streams, that's your best bet
Ok thank you
Copy paste time
It's so hard finding footage of the drop without people skipping it
Theres a video online that was almost perfect but then the audio cuts out lol
Yup, you can see the video of gtfo of the release of alpha o think
Woah there! The owner of GTFO has requested that Discord block any messages our mostly-accurate robo-hamsters deem to be explicit. Seems like you found one, so your message has not been sent. Please be nice.
WHAT?!
What were you even trying to send? 
A trap
@solid zealot yeah same here when I just wanted to post a normal vid few days ago
Yeah @solid zealot, it blocks anything it has in the database even if has nothing to do with the real meaning
huh
So a baby saying "Oooh, look at that, Lets get you up and running, yeah yeah you good." is a bad thing in the database.
lele
eh, its mostly something in the link itself 🤷
