Just don't cover the alpha watermark.
rough ore
do we know if the alpha test on the 28th will have graphical settings ? ( texture quality/ shadows/ ect )
shadow tulip
Yes it will have graphic setting. More graphical option should be available for the full release too.
lone moon
YAY, it's happening! Keen. That LFG channel is about to get busy. Hopefully can get some good games
shadow tulip
Indeed, considering you can only play with steam friend for the alpha test, you gotta have to find people that are willing to work together , or die together
lone moon
right... so I got a problem. I understand that the reason it activates as a 4-pack is to get friends in? Except all my gift packages are region-locked. GG Steam.
misty turtle
Might open up when it registers as GTFO
lone moon
lovin' it
misty turtle
as its just packages now
lone moon
how come GOG fixed that nonsense 2 years ago and Steam still can't get around to it?
shadow tulip
The way to counter that Beerdone is to ask your friend to sign has ambassador and tell them to get a key like you did.
misty turtle
I dont know i dont know how to make that system
shadow tulip
Sorry I do not have an easier solution ATM
lone moon
no worries, not dev's fault anyway
GOG just forces gifts to be purchased at global prices
so any gift can be sent to anyone, I just can't buy it for the cheaper price I usually get games for
that's completely fair, sadly Steam still didn't get around to that
uneven jay
A good time for peeps to get to know each other!
def gonna need to find a group that day haha
dawn ermine
True, I suspect there will be a lot of people on the day of Beta getting people's Steam IDs to form groups with both in here and in the Steam Forums
sage osprey
Where will the alpha watermark be roughly? Just want to make sure OBS scene is setup and ready and that the camera etc is in the right place ^_^
full peak
I think it will be in the bottom right, but that's based on previous screenshots and stuff.
so I could be wrong
sage osprey
Oh thats alright then. Its not a biggie if it changes just want to make sure im as ready as possible 😛
warped swan
Watermark of ALPHA will be at bottom right.
sage osprey
Thank you for confirming
uneven jay

Good to know 
sage stump
Sorry if it's been asked many times already; how long is the alpha open for?
warped swan
This first Alpha Network Test will be about 24 hours long. We expect to find bugs that we'll have to deal with - and bugs are easier to deal with while the Alpha isn't running. Therefore, we decided to have a fairly short first Alpha so that we can collect bug reports and get to work on those bugs sooner rather than later. During the first Alpha test, you will get access to one expedition.
As soon as we’re done squashing those bugs - which hopefully takes just a few days - we’ll open up the Alpha again and have it open for longer! Let’s keep our fingers crossed for a longer second Alpha test over Halloween weekend!
sage stump
Right, fair enough. I'll be on holiday for 2 weeks come this Sunday so I guess I'll hit up the third alpha or something.
verbal elk
Plus doing the alpha on Monday means the engineers don't have to spend their weekend fixing something if the backend goes kaput for whatever reason 😉
glossy mist
Is there any future alpha events. I am not home next week 😂
clever pike
the Roadmap lists an Alpha #2
warped swan
There will be @glossy mist
earnest garden
Could future test builds have a pre-load download to allow us to test for the full time period?
warped swan
That's up to the developers.
earnest garden
Do you know if that question has been put to them before?
keen zealot
Pretty sure it's something they've thought of, considering how pre-loading has become sort of the norm for most games. There's most likely a reason why they're not doing it now.
proper spear
Hopefully, since the download is only 3.5gb, you’ll be ok :)
But thanks for the feedback!
earnest garden
Looking forward to getting down in the hole!
main pine
I'll bet it is changing too fast even now for a pre-load to be worth it.
shadow tulip
Looking forward to see how the 10CC server hold.

im fucking excited

This network test is all about this

There is, authentication server 😉

10cc said no server
#gtfo-ama-answers
shadow tulip
There is an authentication server that check who get what on their backend. This feature also help to stop cheating as they need confirmation from the 10CC backend server to correctly distribute loot and reward.
harsh mountain
ok maybe
echo harness
Do we get the extra Alpha key on Monday, or Should i expect an email shortly after redeeming in STeam ?
keen zealot
It's in your Steam inventory
echo harness
is it called Unknown package 404590?
keen zealot
yupp
full peak
it's because the alpha isn't released technically
so steam doesn't know it's the alpha
it will give you the alpha
echo harness
it should say something along the lines with GTFO
perfect thanks guys
i cant wait for this,
shadow tulip
The game is not yet release, that's why it come out as unknown package, it is a steam thing.

You've just got to check whatever time-zone you're in to know

I am so freaking pumped for this game
the moment me and my friends saw it in June we were hooked

We all are hooked! 😄

The heck is this chat

So assuming there is another alpha session soon after the first, will we have to redownload it for the second, or will the second be an update to the first?
twilit thicket
it should just be an update, yeah.
verbal elk
Only a couple of more days!
modern jolt
Another 2 days and holding a cup of coffee as I stair at my monitor looking at the countdown.
somber tide
Well if you remember a game called Evolve alpha/beta/official/stage 2
all up until stage 2 it was the same game i think cause like if you pre ordered it you got alpha/beta key
and once it went full release it was just an update so you are fine.. i assume devs shall do the same concept with the game :P
hasty tulip
We can record this alpha right?
old ocean
Correct. Just don't cover the alpha watermark in the lower right corner of the screen.
warped swan
You'll be in troubles!
prisma wing
With the alpha going live monday, do we know how long it will last? is it just the day? is it going to be ongoing towards EA?
cloud tinsel
I think it's 24 hours to see the first coming bugs
Then it will be longer after the fixes
At least that's what is written in the mail they sent 😛
prisma wing
huh I missed that bit. let me read it again
ok yeah there it is. I was actually here when the announcement went out so I didn't really look at the email 😆 so a 24 hour bug hunt (double entendre lol) then down for a bit, then up for more, rinse repeat until we reach stable, hopefully by halloween
cloud tinsel
That's right. Nice to hear news from them ! Was waiting for the alpha schedule since a bit now haha
Can't wait to get my hands on it
prisma wing
indeed. The wife and I have been excited for it since the E3 reveal.
wild falcon
I remember when 10 Chambers tweeted out moving into their first office and the IKEA desks they got. I was expecting the game to be closer to DbD back then
honest solar
I'm trying to remember when I first saw the 10 chambers stuff
was probably from an overkill tweet years ago

Hi hope everyone day is going good!

Btw, when game releases?
shadow tulip
The alpha is out monday for 24h. The game release is still shrouded in mystery.
keen zealot
maybe we'll find the release date down in the depths

Seems legit.
soft pasture
hey guys any1 wants to play on monday? im pretty much all by myself and don't have friends that would want to play GTFO with me
warped swan
I would check out #looking-for-group 🙂
cloud tinsel
When will the game be available to download ?
twilit thicket
monday
cloud tinsel
Meh i hoped we would get some time to download it before the unlock of the game
Because on the 24 hours available half of this will be dedicated to the download haha
Any info about the alpha lenght by the way ?

October 28th Monday 7AM pacific

hearty jackal
How will this work with the next tests? Will whoever played this Alpha also be able to play the 2nd one?
What about the Betas? Will it be done the same way? (1 Ambassador gets 4 copies)
Or is it too early to know about any of that?
spare fractal
this is probably wrong but id be down to purchase the game right now , i think these guys will expand upon it well. and yeah i think its a little to early to speculate , unless the devs tell otherwise
warped swan
@hearty jackal There will be a beta as well, all ambassadors get access to the Alpha & Beta
If there will be a second alpha, is all up to the devs.
shell junco
Hi there ! I messaged the bot with the "!key" - Command, but he doesnt reply. My ambassador-role is confirmed. What can I do to solve this ?

@warped swan Roadmap says 2 Alphas and 2 Betas, so that's why I was asking
warped swan
It's not officially yet, so no idea 🙂
It's up to the developers and the game itself.
twilit thicket
The 2 alpha's/beta's are placeholders. IT may only be one alpha and one beta if things go smoother
inner sky
I hope, they will keep players' exp after Alpha

Seems fair

question are people that are in the alpha allowed to stream or make content from the game ?

Yes you can stream and make content, only exception is to not block the Alpha watermark.

yeah i have 1080ti 16 gb ram and even on low everything i can't get more then 30fps idk

well it is an alpha
somber tide
?? i have an rx 580 and i have 90fps on high settings

yeah i know was just curious to see if anyone had same problem

Try to turn absolutely everything down including resolution setting to the lowest. Its possible theres a triggerpoint in the resolution that kills fps
glossy lava
yeah possible...i'll give it a try lmao

Guys I can confirm, the game is very difficult solo

@glossy lava I had also low fps :/ and when I hit the mobs the game was freezing for a sec
everything on low settings ect

yeah same...its early lol just a bug

I think my game ran fairly close to 60fps the short time i was alive

I have like 140 fps in the settings and game menu but in game it's pretty unplayable for me

i got around 40 - 60
lofty heart
I get a solid 30, but no changes increase that

fun as heck though lmao
misty turtle
Its actually kind of playable for me, but the mouse doesnt fee right at all, feels like theres some heavy smoothing/acceleration going on
Also changing settings is a bit weird, clicking audio flashes the screen, and it changes between having black bars, being stretched and blurring all text 
on 800 x 600 i run the game PRETTY nicely on windowed mode, time to bring the minimum requirements down, devs

anyone else getting stuttering ingame every 5~ seconds?
its microstutters so it doesnt make it unplayable, just not as fluid as it could be

so has anyone beaten the level?
somber tide
we were close lol.. basically the thing that works the best is.. you check which key you need then type in any terminal "QUERY KEY_COLOR_NUMBER"
shadow tulip
A few have beaten the level. It take multiple try and a good knowledge of the game with nice coordination to beat this expedition.. well all expedition once the game release
somber tide
and then it will show u where its located and then once u are in that zone u can then type "PING KEY_COLOR_NUMBER"
and it will then show you in which specific room it is located in
knotty crater
we got the key but there was no way to kill them all
shadow tulip
You need a sniper for a quick tentacle guy takedown
somber tide
or just cordinate for fast attack
shadow tulip
True
somber tide
which works for us the best XD.. + once u get pass the security check thingy metal doors... its just so hard
cause u get left with max 100 ammo in smg
shadow tulip
Charge up your melee weapon for maximum efficiency
torpid socket
melee range needs to be further pleas
somber tide
^^ also umm there is a bug where people cant use their ammo, med bags in regular scavenging room exploring
@shadow tulip please if u can look into that
shadow tulip
Yes sound like there is a bug
minor rain
when you have a medkit can you use it on others? I couldn't
shadow tulip
The devs should be aware of that and are working on quick fix.
somber tide
yea u have to like first find the key then go to the key door and then use the key and then when u used it then u can use the packs on ur team
if ur not doing that steps then u can only use the packs on urself only.. which is bleh
also ngl... xD assault rifle should have atleast 150 ammo or 200
cause like its so hardcore once u fk up then u waste all the ammo there and then ur off with either 0 or 50 xD
but i guess the reason for that is... C1 zone is pretty like intermediate hardness lvl

@proper spear so i just finished this session as long as i could and MAN it was fun. Learning everything step by step, trying new strats encounter new room combos and well try and error how to solve it, guns where really nice (tho some ammo changes would be cool but idk yet about that since balance) The Fog only rooms where Great, really was scaring in the fog not seeing anything and just hearing the sounds. The overlay of the hub menu is Really creative, and well the opening which turns into a loading screen also great, About bugs we encountert a few (which well im gonna report whit some vids after im back from doggo) but my team and i had much fun and great laughs. Good job on the team, And even for an alpha it was really great. Ok 1 critism i do have is the amount of enemys. but that can just be me and my team well, running out of ammo and get overrun so its more our problem then the game 
half cairn
So, why do you need hsu that in terminal?
i've reached one of them and there's nothink in room

fleet nimbus
Steam is rolling out the Halloween Sale on steam, that's why it's down
shadow tulip
Ask steam forum for a refund, it is out of 10CC control 😛
ho wait.. steam forum offline XD
full peak
also you didn't pay anything so no refunds
fleet nimbus
Steam is working for me now

alpine island
has anyone beaten the first expidition yet? just wondering
shadow tulip
Some people did, like myself and a few other from the team.
alpine island
nice
shadow tulip
the game hard, and you need good cooperation, planning and careful exploration and communication
coral bane
That's my third try
Sometimes the enemy just reacts when you melee another for no reason
Even when you kill it outright
shadow tulip
Are you playing in a full squad?
elfin mica
Is anyone getting problems with Steam?
sturdy fiber
Frog
shadow tulip
if you bump into them they wake up. I did that mistake too, gauge your distance with the melee reticle when it is 50% smaller, you are in good melee range
sturdy fiber
ranged ennemy can detect you even if you don't do anything, nah ? one find me without heartbeat
coral bane
I didn't bump, it's like "melee someone in stealth, kill him and another reacts"
sturdy fiber
and you focused the head right ?
shadow tulip
yay it is a proximity range wake up
coral bane
Yes
sturdy fiber
No i don't think , because i killed one really near to another one , and didn't wake him
shadow tulip
There a possibility of waking up a second monster. soo you need to move your full squad to coordinate all monster smash together
coral bane
Except he was far ish, like I was top of stairs and he was bottom of it
Third fail fug
sturdy fiber
i think you have a bad luck and the hearbeat was right at this moment
shadow tulip
Don't give up you can do it guy!
coral bane
I'll try later I need to eat
The game is great, but really unforgiving
shadow tulip
You start the game in hardcore mode 😉
You can get away with a few oopsie, but it will then force you to explore other area lookiing for ressources.
vernal crane
had some good fun with 2 other mates, its bloody difficult with just 3 of you
shadow tulip
I heard some people managed to complete the expedition at 3 people
coral bane
i'm pretty sure some people can do it, but not us as of now
vernal crane
man we never got close
got the key and tried to defend ourselfs at the security door but always failed.
warm sand
Foam launcher can reinforce doors giving you a lot of extra time to finish the scans
also mines can wipe out groups of enemies piling up at those doors they're trying to smash through.
west marsh
Why the hell is aggro for every enemy in a room linked together? I kill one monster in one side of the room in a corner on its own, and suddenly the entire room aggros me and charges.
hearty jackal
If he was killed while alerted, that's normal
west marsh
I'm saying that, on several occasions, I've one-shot killed a mob with my hammer and despite killing it while it was sleeping, the entire room mobbed me anyway.
tidal trail
i just hate when we full melee charge hit and blow a guys head off but the monster still lives and aggro's
shadow tulip
A quick second strike when that happen should solve the issue without waking further monster
make sure it is death
somber tide
How long is the alpha testing period?
shadow tulip
24h
tidal trail
was 24hrs
somber tide
Is it going to be extended because of the steam downtime, or something?
sacred urchin

autumn wyvern
The game are Extremly Difficult me and my friend dont understand how the game really work any technic ?
somber tide
I still cant connect to steam friends is this needed to join each other?
Use the browser

Goddamit its late, but man Was GTFO fun
Alright time to sleep, Thx again for the devs for giving us the alpha, i had very big fun and im really happy
somber tide
how do i join my friends, this is so silly D;
fading ivy
is the steam friends network still down?
lone latch
Use the Steam Mobile App, im on it right now and the friend's list on there is working
shadow tulip
@obtuse void Hi! The game is really different from the other coop game. It is a stealth action coop game that want to divert from the other run-n-gun game. One of the key point of GTFO is you are outgunned, with untrained prisoner, under geared and throw into hell by The Warden. You won't get heavy weapon in this game nor silencer. GTFO is all about cooperation and careful planning for the next phase.
eternal oxide
how long does each expedition is?
charred zodiac
Not completed it yet
pearl moss
We kept going for over half an hour on each attempt. Never made it, only three players
charred zodiac
Playing as a team of 3 and we kept getting killed while on stealth
mossy eagle
Took me roughly 45 min - 1h to finish
shadow tulip
45m-1h seem to be the average time.
lost dirge
well I can here by say this is a really good alpha
proper spear
45m-1h sounds a bit short 😉
mossy eagle
Just checked the recording I did. Turns out we did it in roughly 35 min actually
stiff ember
Might be more appropriate here, just wanna check with anyone that knows, the startup screen for the alpha says one expedition under 'notable limitations'. Does that mean there's one expedition to play for the 24 hours or we only get one game for the 24 hours, and once you've played it, that's it for the alpha?
warm sand
One expedition you can play for 24 hours
stiff ember
ah, wonderful, thank you
gonna give solo a try (I know it's impossible, but I don't have any of my friends on yet, so may as well)
coral bane
tfw you feel like a shitter seeing people that actually managed to do it
loadouts recommendations ?
mossy eagle
For tools - go 1 glue, 1 mine and 2 sentry
Weapons is mostly personal preference. Sniper is almost a must though, due to scouts
coral bane
i find the 9mm pistol to be a mssive waste also
mossy eagle
Yeah. I personally prefer SMG due to the amount of ammo you get. Otherwise I'd recommend AR for something that has a bit more damage and range
coral bane
LMG is a bit dissapointing for the ammo/magazine count
keen zealot
no bio scanner?
We use bio scanner all the time to strategize, especially when we run 3 sentries
mossy eagle
Nah, bio scanner is mostly just a quality of life thing. Doesn't actually help you in combat.
You can just open the door and check/hear what's on the other side
keen zealot
no, but it makes it easier to fight because the game is generally really dark
coral bane
i mean it marks the ones in the dark yeah
thorny urchin
anyone wanna run with me, manaing to get on for a bit
mossy eagle
Yeah, but it's not worth it compared to any of the other options
keen zealot
I'd recommend 1 scanner, 1 glue and 2 sentries
coral bane
how does the foam actually work
mossy eagle
Mines are definitely a must
coral bane
like the grenades seem really RNG
warped swan
Shoot the doors & the floor, look in the lobby to see what it does.
mossy eagle
yeah
coral bane
i mean against enemies
mossy eagle
Foam will slow enemies down and contain them, mines will then take an insane amount of them out
keen zealot
it sort of freezes them or whatever
coral bane
i mean cfoam grenades
keen zealot
mines are too situational. Usually there's 1 enemy running in front detonating it
mossy eagle
They're just extra foam, pretty much. The best part about them is that they fill a door 100%
coral bane
it seems to spray around an area but not actually hit in a radius, more like throw a bunchh randomly
keen zealot
In our case I think the 2 mines got 3-4 kills
mossy eagle
If you foam and mine a door before one of the alarms, you'll kill most of the enemies before they reach you. They aren't really useful at any other points
thorny urchin
Anyone wanna team up??
coral bane
sure hmu
mossy eagle
I'm up for a game
thorny urchin
cheers frog give me 5mins

I hope everyone posts the bugs they experience. We had quite a few bugs, including my friend who had a bug where every I ( i) were a box
So instead of Machine Gun it said Mach[]ne Gun
thorny urchin
2mins mate
coral bane
i had the scanner prompt follow me in the next game
and a big guy not actually trigger on a scout yell
thorny urchin
in room 33 @coral bane just gonna get a drink
coral bane
aight
west marsh
Don't understand why the game doesn't have an independent sensitivity slider for hip-fire and ADS. If it's not going to have one then make it 1:1 instead of having a variable sensitivity we can't adjust independently.
keen zealot
well this is a technical/server alpha from what I understand
shadow tulip
Make a suggestion for it, for the alpha test not all feature at here.
keen zealot
so the gameplay is just a bonus to keep the servers active 😛
coral bane
is there a place to do a review of the global experience or is it just bug report and suggestions
shadow tulip
A lot of thing are missing, and we are here to help 10CC make this game glorious
eternal oxide
i have to say
shadow tulip
You can write your full review in steam forum, or make it under ?idea (text) The devs will read everything posted there
eternal oxide
getting close to these freaks are stressful af

Please people, how can we tag every ennemy, i only can tag some of them

stray jetty
so has anyone actually beaten C1?
coral bane
Some people say yes
green copper
Anyone have tips on stealth mechanics when it comes to killing the guys with the nodules all over thier head
coral bane
I havent
vocal rapids
Solo is still alot of fun, just extremely intense
shadow tulip
Whoever finish the expedition solo, please record it and tell us, I'm sure the devs would like a word with you.
twilit thicket
@stray jetty A few people have beaten it. I just did a run with Ludvig and Genocide and @limpid yarrow and we got a completion
stray jetty
hmm, it is tough as nails
twilit thicket
it is, it takes a lot of practice and patience. you'll get better and better each time
The runs I'm on, we don't even take a bio tracker anymore
vocal rapids
I had a huge guy at my initial drop, went straight Full Send lol
copper island
What are the weak points for the monsters? For Scouts it's obviously the head, but the others didn't seem to have any weak spots. My group literally cut a Hulk in half and its legs kept shooting at us.
twilit thicket
The head is always the weak point, hit that whenever you can
copper island
(Which was a huge waste of ammo, would not recommend)
twilit thicket
some enemies can still survive without their head/torso
round kite
what do you take instead of bio tracker?
twilit thicket
We usually run one c foam launcher, one mine, two sentry
full peak
Bio tracker is kinda useless tbh
vocal rapids
i dunno the tracker does give you a heads up
full peak
eh, I think that it's outdated as soon as you figure out that they don't care unless you don't move.
twilit thicket
you can 100% complete without a bio tracker, you get used to the map, enemy sensitivity, listening to their heartbeat, and the fact you really only need to care about enemies within a certain range
thorny urchin
Devs 100% spot on with the network test, there is a fair bit of micro stuttering (Not moaning) but overall ran very very smooth 😄 Well impressed. Uploading a video of my first run. @livid galleon where can i leave feedback / video footage for you to review
manic prairie
I'm not sure, but 40 minutes to complete 1 mission is a lot. biotracker: beautiful and cinematic, but as soon as you catch the mechanics of hand weapons, it completely loses its need, you’re just a rush map
need to change something
pearl sail
the biotracker is good to allow you pass with more caution. also can be a life savior. trust me, im a tracker user and my team could pass properly.
it also can detect from where the enemies come if you are in a horde situation or to mark scouts.
its your game style XD
twilit thicket
@thorny urchin you can leave the video/feedback in #gtfo-chat or in this #amba-gtfo-chat
thorny urchin
Cheers
frigid ice
Love it so far only complaint is it seems like light causes fps drops its nice to have a game where my friends and i have to think about everything we do
radiant cloak
is there a way to increase mouse sensitivity in the game?
acoustic field
have you guys been getting a bug for not being able to use items on your teammates??
shadow tulip
Yes, it option setting. But there no mouse sensitivity for menu atm
twilit thicket
@safe condor bug reports can be done via #bug-reporting

Someone know the exact time about how much time left for GTFO Alpha please ? thanks a lot

It has infinite uses.

As long as everyone is coordinated then yeah you can do that.

Just got my code, thank you for giving me the opportunity to try it out. 😄
pearl moss
Alright how do people deal with tentacle boys
lofty fog
sniper shots to the head?
shadow tulip
Sniper shot to the head is an insta kill ,but be prepare to fight due to the sound of the weapon firing.
lofty fog
better it than it summoning 3-5 times more than the 9 more in the room
shadow tulip
But it is better to fight on your own terms then triggering a massive horde from 2 door forward and behind you XD
lofty fog
aaaay my thoughts exactly! 👍
otherwise better set up ur sentry guns, mines, glue traps just in case
pearl moss
I keep seeing that it's possible to melee stealth them
But we tried having two people full charge one and we still couldn't kill it with wailing on it afterward
lofty fog
hmm... could the damage have been modified in some way for the alpha?
maybe its weaker now compared to what we saw in the gameplay releases
or some of the enemies' health got increased? 🤔
pearl moss
Alright sniper shot worked. Once they're alerted, though, it seems they get more health
pearl moss
How about the titans? Is there no trick, just shoot them a helluva lot?
somber tide
Hey I need a group to play with
summer hinge
After 13 hours of playing finally finish this Rundown ❤
hell this is hard and fun xD

where is the winner vip chatroom xD
😄 just joking ^^
was hard to find the right mates for squad up ..

There is no winner VIP room, but I can give you a cookie. 🍪
lusty belfry
Will the alpha be extended or is it finishing tomorrow
burnt scroll
Hi all quick question I got the key but it also said that there will be 3 more for friends how do I get those? Or do they use the same key?
lusty belfry
@burnt scroll They'll be in your steam gift inventory where you can send / trade through there
burnt scroll
Oh OK thank you
lusty belfry
Np, enjoy it's a great game so far!
pearl moss
Would anyone who's finished the expedition be willing to DM me so I can ask a quick question
livid marten
Hard as hell
pearl moss
Hell yeah it is
Game's hardcore, I'm loving it though. Just sad I'm not going to finish the expedition before the Alpha's over.
somber dagger
So did anyone finish it? My squad got to the last section before wiping
ancient mesa
No dice here. I think someone managed to record a full clear, furthest I've gotten with my team was to the alarmed security door section
Just ain't got enough bullets to not die.
somber dagger
Conservation is the name of the game lol
My squad had a rough start, but we recovered in the end
There was a second alarmed security. Also 2 turret users is a very good strat
pearl moss
We got to the third but couldn't get past it
slim kraken
hey guys weird question. the steam key gave me 3 unknown gift packages. anyone got info on that?
pearl moss
Every ambassador gets four keys
somber dagger
One for you. 3 for the friends you want to bring into the madness lol
pearl moss
Those poor poor friends
slim kraken
i figured but i didnt know if steam messed it up or it will be a key when they open it lol
but sounds good ill be sending these out asap! thanks for the info
pearl moss
Be quick
somber dagger
Better do it soon! Alpha ends soon
somber dagger
They did say they wanted to do an extended alpha test within a week or two. So hopefully they will
slim kraken
when does it end?
pearl moss
7 hours I believe
somber dagger
Yeah. It started at 7. And they estimated a 24 hour period
modern yew
it started 7 in est?
novel delta
It started 8 PDT
thorny urchin
Think my only issue with the game is the HUD feels really busy
I think they need to open this up to this Public and do a massive stress test. Apart from the stutters this game runs very very well for an alpha
novel oyster
This game is not easy gameplay 3 people die each time
thorny urchin
lfp english speaking 😄
wintry crater
I like the terminal interface tbh. You actually have to know what you're looking for in order to find what you want.
Still simplified obviously but it adds a nice layer of role importance.
keen zealot
My only issue with the terminal is that I don't understand what "list" does, or why I can list all HSU's
thorny urchin
@keen zealot it lets yous ee al the items on the map
keen zealot
hmm, ok, makes sense
wintry crater
I think the DMR is my go to weapon.
Tried all the others and they just felt really slow to kill.
I get that the idea is to encourage stealth but it feels nearly impossible to recover if you startle them with any other weapon.
novel oyster
how do you kill creatures ?
keen zealot
Yeah, it seems very illogical to have unsuppressed weapons when they know that the enemies react to movement and sound, or at least like someone said in "suggestions", we should have more stealth options, and melee at the moment is not reliable. I was standing behind an enemy, fully charged and the enemy stuck their head inside the wall which made me hit the wall instead of the head...
Not sure how to answer that.... You shoot them or hit them?
wintry crater
Crouch up to them and charged heavy the head.
novel oyster
they notice very quickly
keen zealot
don't move when they glow/makes sound
wintry crater
I'm aware.
keen zealot
and they also seem to react to your flashlight
novel oyster
flashlight closed
wintry crater
The main issue is that it seems very inconsistent with how far away creatures will detect a kill from.
keen zealot
Dunno if that's intentional or not, but for us they noticed us even when we were standing still
Oh yeah. I've smacked an enemy that's maybe 2-3 meters away from another enemy and didn't get detected. And another time I smacked an enemy and got detected by an enemy that was 10+ meters away
wintry crater
I've killed some at less than five feet away and not had anyone notice, meanwhile I do the exact same thing and one of them notices from halfway across the room.
keen zealot
Also, it doesn't make sense that they can hear/sense us moving, but not hear an enemy that screams when killed
wintry crater
And when it gets to that you basically have to hit all headshots if you want to make it through.
keen zealot
yeah
keen zealot
Shotgun and DMR is the way to go
wintry crater
Yeah. I didn't like how the SMG and Assault rifle handled.
Pistol gives mixed results.
keen zealot
We usually go machine gun and shotgun because of the small hordes that rushes you
wintry crater
I cannot for the life of me get the MG down.
Like. I have no clue how to use it effectively.
Aside from just clicking heads as normal.
keen zealot
wait, I think I'm mixing machine gun and assault rifle. I'm talking about the primary one.
The heavy machine gun seems to be some sort of nail gun
versed ridge
Basically if the monsters can touch each others at arms distance you have to take them out quickly, if they are separated from 2/3m you can kill them one after the other. Me and my brother we cleared 90% of the room with the hammers and using almost no bullets until the scan, when you get the hang of it, it's not that bad.
keen zealot
slow rate of fire, and there's a short windup time before it starts shooting
versed ridge
Also nobody forces you to kill the mobs, we actually sneaked pass some of them ( Tentacles and big one ), use foam nades to froze them in place and sneak pass them
keen zealot
I do absolutely love the fact that it's VERY rarely one person's fault that we lose 😛 Whenever we died yesterday it was always a collective fuck-up
wintry crater
Also, what the fuck does the Fog repeller do?
versed ridge
repell the fog
keen zealot
lol
versed ridge
after the first scan at zone 15 two rooms are full of fog
you have to repell the fog to see the monster better
keen zealot
We always die at the scan alert....
The second time we came to that door my gf didn't even get a visual prompt/line to follow
versed ridge
We did it as a duo but it's almost undoable for the rest of the run
you have to make 0 mistakes and have a good luck for the spawns
keen zealot
yeah
One run we had 12 sleepers in the first room
Like literally the first room you come too, straight ahead from spawn... That sucked
versed ridge
I think the difficulty is well balanced but only if you are a full stack, playing as a duo was almost even better because we had to time everything almost perfectly but in the end we know some of it is almost undoable
wintry crater
Yeah... Some of these weapons REALLY need a buff.
Like, I'm obviously not expecting to mow down dudes left and right but I'd like more than three of them to be able to kill an enemy without spending a third of it's magazine.
Especially since Combat is unavoidable in certain sections.
versed ridge
yup during the scan parts, hence why me and my brother we clap them with hammers most of the time, last time our best run we managed to get to the door, full health full ammo, and with extra tool ammo for the mines
somber tide
what does it mean on the road map when it says "No persistent inventory"
stuck phoenix
"List Zone #" is still one of my favorites.. i wish you could so Ping Zone 12 and it pings all in zone 12. maybe alerting the monsters xD
versed ridge
Imagine pinging a medipack so every monsters gets attracted to it, and then foam the doors LOL
stiff ember
wow, just had 3 attempts with a buddy, and we found a medpack, a tool refresh, a few grenades, a bit of ammo and...a terminal (though not in the same game) seems like there's a bit of coding involved, neato
That red-dot boss though was just so freaky :P
I guess I'm just saying that you have my money, 10 Chambers, goddamn I can't wait for more
acoustic nexus
acoustic nexus
I'm pretty certain alot of people mentioned the music bug, and the melee range issues at times. Those were the most prominent issues I ran into. (Though the melee bug could simply be having high ping being as its peer to peer)
Those things aside I was very pleased with the short time I spent with the game. (I actually played on my work break)
proper spear
Nice to hear Berch!
unique cosmos
The music bug doesn't appear to affect the host from what I saw yesterday
stuck phoenix
ahh, no stupid white names here :d
unique cosmos
?
stuck phoenix
just regular chat has know-it-alls that havent beat it when i said. "yeah beat it before alpha ends" and they try 1 up you
unique cosmos
Ah lul
stuck phoenix
so i try give them tips and they just go WHAT IF and some stupid situations
unique cosmos
You always find people like that in every situation so get used to it :p
I really wish I could play a bit more tbh, managed to arrive the the zone with the objective init when we wiped yesterday
We had to stop ater that because it was late and works a bitch

There are gonna be more tests at the weekend right?

well I have to say the 2 man team we did yesterday was awesome I really hoped to have the full group tryin g it today but well hopefully this coming weekend before the end of the alpha. So far reaally liking what I am seeing
white moon
soloing is also a load of fun for anyone who hasnt tried that yet
formal oasis
oh yeah soloing is a nice hardcore challenge
dawn ginkgo
i don't think it's possible to make it past the security check, though
formal oasis
it is
dawn ginkgo
holy cow
mossy eagle
It is. You just need a lot of luck and preparation
dire jacinth
its hard, but possible
hasty tulip
Now for the last alpha
dawn ginkgo
i didn't think enough damage exists in one person
mossy eagle
Yup. That's what I did. If you do the scan quick enough you'll just get one wave, and glue/mine will kill pretty much all of them
dire jacinth
aiming for the head helps, while it doesnt guarantee a kill, it wastes less ammo than bodyshots
dawn ginkgo
foamed the doors?
mossy eagle
Yep
formal oasis
some doors but not all
if u know the pathing from the enemys u can lead them to one door
torpid shadow
most come through the two leading to spawn as far as i can tell
mossy eagle
Either that one or the one furthest away from spawn is what I usually get
torpid shadow
yeah
dawn ginkgo
i wonder if opening up the doors between the spawn and furthest door helps
but i guess i'll have to test that this weekend, same with this one bug where the host gets soft locked if they're using the terminal while somebody joins
which i'm only assuming is what's happening
shell junco
in the end of the trailer, it says that alpha is open from 28th to 3th. I guess that is a typo ?
28th to 2th. sorry
pearl sail
@shell junco simon explained me that the alpha is shutdown in some minutes and it will be available again at 31st
shell junco
yeah i read that too. was confosed because of the trailer/video
pearl sail
anyone has theories about the lore?
tawny notch
remote-controlled criminally insane prisoners? :V
torpid shadow
I mean even if they're not crazy in the beginning they will be in the end
tawny notch
I mean there's a thing in the startup that says you're unstable
and there's the brainscan for stability going off in lobby that shows some whacky activity
pearl sail
i have a theory. i think that some of the misteries told to us in the first trailer are solved right now. what dauda tell us is he "listens" people screaming at him, and after that he wakes up. my theory is: cause of all characters being infected to different degrees, they are connected somehow to the creatures of the Complex, which were probably humans before. after becoming fully infected, the sleepers become part of a hive mind,protecting whatever they are guarding, and attack everyone not infected who appears. seems that while in hydrostasis, the characters are sleeping and the sleepers are "talking" to them, that's why dauda says that he doesnt understand what they say but recognize them somehow, them wanting him to "feel what they feel".
dire jacinth
we kinda have #gtfo-lore for lore discussions ' v' mods gona poke us with sticks
tawny notch
you know it's a serious suggestion when the person making it is called 'slaaneshi' with an ahegao pfp
torpid shadow
dont mess with chaos
Btw i'm calling them goliath but do the big dudes have a name?
dire jacinth
; v;
tawny notch
uhh "big lad"
"chunky boi"
"chonkster"
hell, friend group was calling the scouts patrollers just because they patrol :v
torpid shadow
we called the scouts dicknose for some reason. I really have no idea why
do they even have a nose?
tawny notch
lol what the hell
torpid shadow
yeah dont ask
tawny notch
maybe because they are the MOST FRUSTRATING enemy
torpid shadow
works for me. We tried to rush one with 4 charged meless but he still screwed us
dire jacinth
they do have noses
knowledge obtained through death
Its John Carpentners the Thing 2.0 that dont have noses, on account of their faces split in two
tawny notch
@torpid shadow turns out c-foam and then group-hammering is fun on them lol
OR turrets, they don't like c-foam in front of turrets
sleek stone
Personally I wasn't really feeling it, did several runs/attempts, sneaking up to melee range to charge your hammer gets old fast would be nice with some silent ranged options, the obligatory door alarm was a tad bit too punishing, yes I get it you have to prepare but it was a bit too much
tawny notch
it's the point though...
dire jacinth
were you playing alone or with a team? GTFO is designed to be tackled with (preferably) full team, hence why solo is very hard.
tawny notch
you /can/ run and gun, especially if more than one person has a sentry
but you'll suffer if you waste it all
sleek stone
We played 3 people
But you don't really have to try to convince me, just sharing my opinion 🙂
dire jacinth
Also, its alpha 1 so things arent really fully calibrated ' v' make sure to remember that during feedback.
tawny notch
oh yah I know, but seriously, it gets more frustrating to die due to not enough ammo the further in you get lol

I am hoping for more melee variety in later versions. They all feel very similar atm.
dire jacinth
i have a slight gripe with my screen flying about everytime i get bit
tawny notch
so even if melee isn't for you, it's kinda mandatory just for having the ammo when you need it
dire jacinth
mainly because for some reason my vertigo spikes
sleek stone
I felt that the constant sneak-melee just wasn't fun, it was very slow and repetitive
tawny notch
you certainly can do it more loudly, just... you'll die
a lot
safe marten
Depends on the room a lot of the times
some rooms you can just run in and melee with the bois others you gotta be careful.
chilly comet
I think it just needs some variety, maybe throwing axes or throwing knives.
safe marten
I agree tho would be interesting to see what they do
sleek stone
Silent ranged weapons with limited ammo/you have to sync shots with your teammates would be cool too
dire jacinth
im certain there are going to be weapons more fit for stealth than open combat down the line, maybe a weapon modification system like payday?
tawny notch
you've seen how limited the ammo already is for the sniper rifle though right
chilly comet
Maybe something like a bolt action rifle that is silenced. That way you really have to use it wisely.

is it possible that the gameplay rythm is only in the extremes? it's either 8 or 80 - melee stealth 5 rooms in a row, but then when a mistake is made, hell breaks loose and you're out of ammo, it it possible that what is missing are the steps in between, a little more moderate gameplay moments, rather than tone down any other part of the gameplay?
static berry
tbh, its a nice game but a quick match or easy and hardmode option to decide would be interesting too and an story introducing why we are here and doing that 🙂 just to say, nothing preferred at all
sleek stone
I mean it's a design question, what do you want the game to be? The premise is super interesting, dark corridors, aliens, sneaking around, but just slowly going around hammering stuff isn't very interesting
dire jacinth
theyre not aliens, devs stated it somewhere
sleek stone
Semantics
bronze cedar
yes, because it sure feels like the stealth-hammer approach is the optimal formula, while shooting weapons (for me) is.... a lot of fun, but it also means we're draining resources and risking the mission
sleek stone
You run out of ammo quick and it's very risky you can get swarmed so shooting really is a last resort
dire jacinth
Id say the main thing about this game, is navigating an unknown area relying on your team and what you can scavenge in the process. right now it needs a bit of balancing, looking into gunplay and then some stealth stuff. Just in my view. plus, since most mechanics arent even in (considering its a networking test) im personally waiting for beta stage
bronze cedar
fair enough, there's a lot we don't know yet
dire jacinth
i personally love it, but i still see issues others might have
old zodiac
i see an issue about vesync, when i turn off it, my screen get some pixelling
anyone else has it?
sleek stone
There's a technical support channel 🙂
static berry
its an alpha so no problem when fixed later
old zodiac
yeah
dire jacinth
dont forget your system specs, even if that sounds mundane
my pc handles the game fine, but friend stutters
static berry
we are ina GTFO matrix ^^

I had a blast with my friends last night playing it. As I do agree I think maybe there needs to be a bit more balance for the stealth aspect and guns. As it would be nice to have a weapon with a silencer to use instead of just melee. I would also like a faster melee weapon. They did seem a bit slow but makes sense for the size of the weapon you are swinging. Maybe a small knife or something for faster attacks that do not do as much damage. But being an alpha I am still overall pleased. Still excited to play it and what we all get down the road.
static berry
maybe also class with heavy armour , light and healing - for the real group play - so light armour could use a knife instead hammer etc as well but is depends on the story, why they are prisoners ad deep below 😄
drifting dock
Did anyone knows if we can deal with the "tentacle" monster stealthy?
dire jacinth
while extremely hard, you can sneak up and whack it into a coma
mossy eagle
You can also blow it up with mines. It won't alert nearby enemies
somber tide
@drifting dock Yeah
drifting dock
@dire jacinth So it dies from one charged hammer or you mean all of us smacking it before making the blue "explosion"?
somber tide
My friends and I did last night
dire jacinth
charged should be fine, there are safer ways like foam
drifting dock
@somber tide cool how you did it?
somber tide
If you’re in his line of sight the tentacles go out
