#gtfo-related-questions

With no classes then, would your character be randomly chosen, or would you pick the character in your loadout, similar to how payday does jt
blissful dove
Character selection will work exactly as in PD2, at least that's our plan right now. You'll be able to choose any character if you host the game, and the first one to join will have the remaining three characters to choose from, and so on.
I'm personally not a fan of how they did it in OTWD, where two players are allowed to play as the same character on the same server. It feels weird. Sure, it solves the problem when two players play together who prefer to play as the same game character, but still...
...and @prime mirage - I can confirm what Aory and Honey said: There are no classes in GTFO, you choose your loadout to suit your play style so you essentially create your own class.
THat question pops up every now and again - maybe we should add it to the FAQ?
lunar bay
if it's asked alot of times i would say yes without a doubt :o
rose basalt
Yeah, it should
Skill and class related stuff is something asked frequently due to not having much info about it
blissful dove
Also, @clear phoenix - VR support is very unlikely. We have no experience adapting games to VR and we don't use VR ourselves in our spare time. In short, it would be a high risk undertaking and frankly; just making a "regular", non-VR game is high risk enough.
narrow kettle
Questions about skilltrees & classes belong to the most frequent ones
Adding it to the FAQ seems like a good idea
blissful dove
And I read that you were discussing revives. Aory and Honey are absolutely correct in that medpacks only restore HP and are not required for revives. Every player in the team is needed alive in order to progress and so you have infinite revives. If your follow up question is "but won't that make the game super easy?" I can tell you immediately that it won't. GTFO is really effin' hard.
prime mirage
I dunno if this already came up or not but:
Is Friendly Fire a thing in this game?
narrow kettle
Yes, it is
brisk venture
Yep
fast valve
Yep indeed
blissful dove
Yep yep.
fast valve
prime mirage
Do we get a shove option like in L4D if something gets in our face?
fast valve
?
fast valve
You mean like blood on the screen or?
narrow kettle
shoving
fast valve
What's this
narrow kettle
pushing stuff away with your gun
prime mirage
Nah, I mean like if something gets up close you can shove them away to get a better shot.
prime mirage
Do we get boss type enemies?
narrow kettle
There's a Tank-like enemy
fast valve
Indeed
acoustic flower
How are connections being handled? Will there be a host-based connection or dedicated servers at launch? I know the latter might be asking for a lot from an indie title.
fast valve
P2p
narrow kettle
Its Peer to peer
acoustic flower
Gotcha
fast valve
Like in payday 2
lunar bay
but Unity has a better network coding option i geuss :)
fast valve
Indeed
lunar bay
so it won't be that payday2 Like
fast valve
Blame diesel 
acoustic flower
In a rough estimate, how many weapons/gear do you plan to launch with?
acoustic flower
It's okay. If I remember correctly, you guys are launching in early access right?
fast valve
Nope
narrow kettle
The game will launch when it's finished
fast valve
Only beta will be exist
lunar bay
if i remember correctly it was like 4-7 weapons ont he gamescom (just roughly remembering stuff), and also a bit more of variety to special weapons like 7
so
So you can choose between enough weapons first =)
acoustic flower
I'm cool with that. Variety I feel like isn't an issue in terms of weaponry if the gameplay is fun enough, and it looks plenty fun
lunar bay
well i think choosing the special weapons and Gadget :x is gonna be a big part
lunar bay
no
narrow kettle
yes
fast valve
Yup
fast valve
Indeed
thorny bobcat
Will levels differ visually in some way?
narrow kettle
There is going to be the best team comp
lunar bay
well i can tell you DMR (the default one on special weapons (not railgun xD )) will be low tier
thorny bobcat
I kinda worry a bit about "all levels are just the same" syndrome
fast valve
Rng
acoustic flower
Procedural generation
fast valve
If you mean like visual i guess not really
acoustic flower
Oh?
lunar bay
maybe =)
thorny bobcat
Procedual generation was just a tool for the devs to map faster
narrow kettle
The maps are procedurally generated, but the parts are hand picked
lunar bay
but DMR in cave like maps? xD
acoustic flower
Ohhh, so you create a list of maps, decorate em, and then run em through a rng
lunar bay
Pd2 Aim is not hard...
fast valve
U can't make em by urself
lunar bay
it's like.... meh, you can easy see heads
narrow kettle
they procedurally generate maps, and handpick the mapparts they will actually use
lunar bay
it is more like a bullet sponge
acoustic flower
Oh okay, sorry I'm not too familiar on the concept of how that is done.
narrow kettle
@lunar bay that is not the point I made
lunar bay
and yea...
that is not your answer sir
my thoughts on dmr and pd2
I might go anyways for DMR in GTFO but yea :D
fast valve
How dmr and cave even connected tho
lunar bay
i am allways against meta stuff :p
rose basalt
this way
gun - bullet - enemy
fast valve
Dmr in gtfo will be just for dmg tbh
fast valve
Meta is good sometimes
lunar bay
it is
narrow kettle
(that is not how you git gud, but thats a different discussion and also not fitting for this channel)
lunar bay
but if you can handle it, you'll be fine in a good team position
if i take a scanner gadget, is it meta? cuz you can scan behind walls and show a symbols to track enemies Heads?
prime mirage
Me click head good.
fast valve
@lunar bay yes
narrow kettle
We'll figure that out during the beta/ after launch
lunar bay
well i do think that the life scanner/headshot scanner (when used loud) is gonna be good
to help tracking the heads
for easier headshots :
prime mirage
Oh, actually, that's a question. Are weapons Hitscan or Projectile?
narrow kettle
lets move the whole meta theory speculations to #gtfo-chat
fast valve
1
narrow kettle
they're all hitscan
thorny bobcat
I'd assume hitscan
fast valve
Hitscan indeed
narrow kettle
Hitscan weapons are by far easier/faster to make
prime mirage
Can we swap weapons/pick them up in the map or are we stuck with what we chose when we started?
fast valve
Second
narrow kettle
You choose your loadout before the map
rose basalt
you can't pick up weapons in game
lunar bay
uhm special weapons aswell not
narrow kettle
yeah, they are no weapons you can pick up
rose basalt
fast valve
My mistake
prime mirage
Can we jerry rig melee weapons to make them stronger? Stuff like adding blades, electric damage and the like?
narrow kettle
you can modify your weapons
fast valve
Not in game at least
narrow kettle
but we do not know to what degree
rose basalt
There's been no mention of melee modification, at the moment they all do the same damage and the choice is purely cosmetic
fast valve
But mods are real, yes
fast valve
Same
narrow kettle
No you can't mod melee's
Different melee weapons are just skins right now
They all have the same stats
fast valve
payday 2 melee system's crying
narrow kettle
If you call bloodthirst stacks a system
fast valve
I mean ij general
narrow kettle
I know what you mean :)
fast valve
mortal anchor
Re: Melee mods, the demo we've shown at E3 etc has had the same properties on all melee weapons, only visual differences like Aory said. We will however have stats-differences for them eventually.
lunar bay
Is dismembering a thing? like if you have a sharp weapon for example (came up now in my mind) or like shooting one spot, and if they so, are they gonna move slower (when taking out legs), or doing less dmg if they loose an arm?
just curios
narrow kettle
Nothing of dismembering has been mentioned so far
And I think it's pretty unlikely
lunar bay
well, it would make sense, even if it's a bit unnecessary if you have a good team comp, but it could help in certain situations maybe or help a bit
narrow kettle
well if it wasnt a thing up to this point, it probably won't be
someone has to make that mechanic
blissful dove
@prime mirage There is a shove attack, yes - but you do that with your melee weapon. If you have one of your firearms equipped and push the shove button you immediately switch to your melee weapon and perform a shove. It's a clever way to switch to melee and put it to good use with one single button press. If you want to shoot after the shove, you'll have to switch back to one of your firearms.
narrow kettle
I have a question regarding that one
When you press the shove button with your gun out
does the shove resolve instantaneously?
or do you have a delay because you're swapping to your weapon?
(Like in VT2 where you can change from ranged to melee and immediately start blocking)
lunar carbon
Vt2?
narrow kettle
Vermintide 2
narrow kettle
Probably not
vocal bridge
If there was dismemvering it would make gtfo spicier
blissful dove
There's some dismemberment and blowing holes in enemies and so on, but at this point it doesn't affect the enemy's fighting ability. It's just to give you satisfying feedback as you shoot at them.
lunar bay
well i am fine with that
blissful dove
Melee is not restricted but you have to charge up an attack to be really effective, and you can't walk around with the melee weapon charged-up for more than a few seconds before the character swings the melee weapon automatically.
@narrow kettle If you press the shove button while having a firearm equipped, the shove comes quicker than if you manually switched to melee and then pressed the shove button. That way it becomes an "elite tactic". 😝
lunar carbon
Will there be significant lore? As in, nore than "you're prisoners, go down scary big hole"?
Cuz the person who narrated one of the trailers intrigued me
willow shoal
I believe the person that narrated the teaser was one of the prisoners... but yeah, it was awesome
"What the hell is this place?" still gives me chills
narrow kettle
I'm always so focussed about gameplay mechanics that I have no idea what you're talking about
willow shoal
The dialogue in the teaser from the 2017 Game Awards
coarse spire
The trailer narrator was dauda (dot) the nigerian dude who you can play as
willow shoal
The first teaser 10cc put out
blissful dove
No, the first teaser just showed the elevator rushing by the camera as it went down the elevator shaft.
It was released in May 2017, six months before The Game Awards trailer.
But yes, the trailer from The Game Awards 2017 had VO and it was narrated by Dauda, one of the playable characters.
The game will indeed have lots of lore.
vocal bridge
Can you pick which character you play as
narrow kettle
@vocal bridge scroll up a bit
blissful dove
@vocal bridge Yes it will work as in PD2.
(I don't know if you've played PD2 but scroll up for a thorough description of the functionality)
vocal bridge
yeah i have thank you simon king
willow shoal
Yeah, the Game Awards trailer is what I was referring to. Not really counting the May 2017 Teaser, because it wasn't much more than just an image... lol
fast valve
I mean i know beta isn't soon, but will it be okay if modders will use assets from beta for modding in pd2?
That sight on the weapon is really oof

fathom lotus
Hi, me and my friend are really big on the horror genre and have a hard time finding scary co-op games.
My question is in regards to the scare factor. I see a lot of gameplay of us attacking them, but is there going to be times where they are attacking us and we are trying to escape?
Also are there going to be some jump scares hidden throughout the levels that are randomly generated so they're hard to anticipate?
Thanks 😃
keen kraken
I've played pd2 a lot and one of the worst thing in this game was hackers (and too many DLC bit this isn't what i came for) do you have any plans to reduce the number of player with hack? (Sorry if Reding me hurts but i'm not native english)
brisk venture
@fathom lotus As far as we know there won't be any scripted "escape missions". However, you'll most likely be in a situation like that if you're not careful. GTFO is a lot about managing your recourses, and if you don't do that properly while running into a horde, you'll most likely be in for a scary and stressful situation. There's no info about any jumpscares, but I personally doubt there'll be any scripted ones, at least.
fathom lotus
I see, thanks for the info 😃
mortal anchor
@fathom lotus Hi! The short answer is: Yes and.. yes hopefully:)
The longer answer is: During the development of GTFO we had to agree on that this is and action game with a lot of suspense and horror elements, not a pure horror game. Because if this was a horror game I would most likely remove almost all weapons and take away most of the sense of control the player can feel, if you see what I mean?
Since we still wanted a lot of action (to play to our strengths, to facilitate coop and to work with the rest of the vision for the game), this was a call we had to make fairly early.
So with that as a starting point we are trying to sprinkle the game with elements of the player not being in full control of her surroundings from time to time, and both of your examples fit that description really well;)
fathom lotus
Yup, that makes perfect sense! I was thinking a mission or two where it changes things up a bit and your team is at a disadvantage and you need to escape and regroup, which would make it feel scarier in those particular missions. But the majority of the game should definitely be an action game rather than a horror game with limited control, that I agree wholeheartedly.
prime mirage
Will we have Matchmaking?
willow shoal
Simon has stated that there will be some form of matchmaking, but they also want to make sure a new player doesn’t get matched with an advanced group in a lower sublevel (ie higher difficulty) expedition.
mild ravine
so a player in matchmaking can only go as deep as they have gone be4?
Unless in a private group maybe?
willow shoal
Yeah, something like that. At the same time, they don’t want to lock advance players out of easier areas, so advanced players can help new players...
mild ravine
thats fair like if ur mate can only get the game a few weeks after and then you who already has the game and played if u can't help them get as deep
lunar bay
Simon told me on Gamescom that they think about that as Steve stated, a ranking system but it could have bad benefits in term for w8 time or so, or it is hard to like get e proper system to work well
but i cannot comfirm, how it would be or if there would be for sure one, he said to me they plan something about that
mild ravine
Maybe have a leveling system when ur in a "zone" like first 5 missions count as a zone
willow shoal
I don’t think there will be any difficulty restrictions for players that team up themselves
mild ravine
Then only players within that zone can go in it
then they start at the beggining
or the earlyest a play is at
Cus if its specificly set to the exact mission then its going to be worse then DBD matchmaking in high ranks
willow shoal
The impression I get is that matchmaking won’t really be set until after the first few days/weeks of beta, since right now, all of their internal tests have been on sets of 4 PCs connected locally.
mild ravine
Ah ok so temp its going to be that the matchmakings not implemented?
Only the buggers within a certain proxy will be able to do it?
willow shoal
Probably. Either that, or it’ll just be simplified... just putting the first 4 solos that queue into an expedition together... then make adjustments as people level up.
mild ravine
Ok so if its going to be local GUESS IM DOING IT SOLO XD
Time to go for the Hard shit right off the bat and jsut to add salt on the wound im going to go as unstealthy
as possible
And Get fucking destroyed
narrow kettle
sounds like a plan
willow shoal
I mean, it’ll be over the internet... but your first few expeditions will likely go... not well.

Im going to record it and post it in the discord If it happens

I imagine there will be a local lan option.

That is just there on my computer
Cus it def won't be long
narrow kettle
(where would u upload it)
willow shoal
We’re talkin GTFO matchmaking (or lack thereof). Pretty sure you can post short vids directly to Discord.
mild ravine
(to the discord)
narrow kettle
you can upload a max of 8mb (50 with nitro) to discord
willow shoal
I believe Discord has an 8MB limit
mild ravine
Yea its only going to be short af cus I doubt im going to alst long if im like that
mild ravine
Im talking about like 2 mins or someshit
Cus as i said I will be as unstealthy as possible
narrow kettle
2 minutes will still be significantly higher than 8mb
let me actually test that rq
willow shoal
I think Roogini is talking <30 sec
narrow kettle
<30s is higher than 8mb as well
It doesn't matter who you are, the rule applies either way
mild ravine
Then its time to Make tiny ass snippets or a booklet of entirely screenshots Xd
mild ravine
Exactly
willow shoal
At 240p? Yeah, you’re not gonna upload 1080p vids to Discord. No reason to.
narrow kettle
But you can still message a mod/admin to verify your content
mild ravine
Oh yea ofcourse
narrow kettle
a 2 minutes 1080p60 video is 150-ish mb
willow shoal
Check 240p30. More than likely the format for discord
mild ravine
Well this comp would bearly be able to play GTFO anyway
narrow kettle
i can guarantee that will be higher than 8mb
mild ravine
Im getting a new one soon enough thats a bunch better
narrow kettle
maybe it works with nitro tho
willow shoal
At any rate, we’re getting off topic here...😖
narrow kettle
indeed

We need GTFO out now

stoic axle
Hey, why is the company called 10 chambers and not six, five, or seven chambers instead? It would make more sense because of a revolver cylinder.
mortal anchor
@stoic axle Hey there. Simple answer: There were 10 of us from the beginning, so there was 10 chambers. Things happen down the line so now we're 9 though. <=)
Fairly naive to name the company after the amount of founding members, yes. But we've also said that we don't want to grow past 10, so there's that.
mild ravine
Hey going past like 20 would become dificult to manage
mild ravine
Tbh 10 chambers sounds cool
celest mural
But I like that, even if there aren't 10 members as we speak, there is still a strength in the name itself.
willow shoal
I like to think that the Ambassadors represent that 10th chamber right now! 😉
mild ravine
Just like buy a pug and have it be the 10th seat
willow shoal
And pee on the carpet...
mild ravine
Or put yah boi roogini in as the 10th seat I don't get paid i don't do anything im just the creepy guy thats just there
celest mural
Ya know, I've heard horror stories of that.
BUt every office dog that we have is exceptionally well behaved. Maybe we just got the luck of the draw
mild ravine
A good number of dogs act to how they r raised
celest mural
Oof, thought I was there!
narrow kettle
Yeah, happens that a question leads to a discussion :D
mild ravine
@mortal anchor Will we be able to get skins?
willow shoal
skins would lead to other cosmetics, which will lead to microtransactions, and that's something I hope 10cc will be avoiding...
willow shoal
Pretty sure there will be hardware components that can functionally change the way your weapons and tools work...
mortal anchor
@mild ravine There will be ways of customizing the looks of things, down the line. We are building that into the systems even though it won't have the highest priority to actually support in terms of finishing the game.
mild ravine
Well fair enough I just want skins and shit to make myself feel cool
rose basalt
meh
willow shoal
These characters are prisoners. I don't think they'd look good in tutus and ballet slippers... 😂
mild ravine
I meant just gun skins
willow shoal
Oh, gun skins! Gotcha!
mild ravine
Not something outragious like making urself look like a complete weirdo
But like for instance glowing guns or something
willow shoal
Yeah.. if you want that, just go play Fortnite.
rose basalt
should be the lowest priority
willow shoal
Don't think you need anything to make you stand out in GTFO. Probably aggro the natives that way.
mild ravine
If I piss them off by having a sexy as fuck skin then so be it
vocal bridge
How about character skins or mask skins like pd2
mortal anchor
The question is valid I think, typically something we would add support for later on when the primary things are working and ppl are happy
to make ppl even more happy:)
rose basalt
I'm cool with skins as long as they're not ridiculous
mortal anchor
@vocal bridge Probably even further down the line, can't promise anything there now since it has to do with something more compelx as our characters.
willow shoal
Yep I could see custom paint jobs for weapons and tools. But I would like to see a playable game before any of that is added!
mild ravine
Fair enough
vocal bridge
oh yeah of course get the game done first
i was just saying if skins where in GTFO
im guessing it would be like pd2

mortal anchor
@grand spire Couldn't tell you if we did=)
willow shoal
I was gonna say... aren't they called "Easter Eggs" for a reason?
grand spire
Some studio's just won't do it. It's throw it together cash grab and move on
It is a legitimate business strategy unfortunately
narrow kettle
@mild ravine Fortnite does have weapon skins
mortal anchor
Well, I'm not sure I follow @grand spire , but you can't call not having easter eggs, which is by definitions fun bonuses to a game, a business strategy?
grand spire
No @mortal anchor I've unfortunately had the pleasure of working with a few groups like this :/
They were more concerned with churning out the content and burned out the crew. Just to start a sequel before the first was even finished.
willow shoal
I think @grand spire is referring to the practice of "finishing" a game and moving on to the next without continuing support for the previous game.
willow shoal
One of the benefits of a small team... you know they are only working on the one project.
mortal anchor
Ah yeah, sure I get that, I just didn't see how that was connected to easter eggs
Yep, no management are going to tell us to work on anything else fore sure=)
Ah well, need to sleep, take care guys!

Probably more of a point system, if I had to guess. You complete an expedition, you earn some sort of upgrade points to purchase gear components or something.

even then from the trailers they sound amazig
this question is directed to people who actually played the game

Very slow going. That's advice, not an opinion. lol
You definitely want to keep the guy with the motion detector in front of you.
willow shoal
Also, if you are going for a silent takedown on a sleeper, you need to check and make sure there aren't others within a few feet!
If there are, you need to time your strikes to happen simultaneously and make sure they are all dead quickly.

it seems like there are sort of weird attacks you can do based on the range of your weapon and hit box on certain enemies

i doubt there is anybody around to actually answer this currently but will there be a hub world where the player can reside in and explore outside of missions? or will it be a mission selection screen?

I've been mostly connecting the hive from destiny and the main enemies in GTFO, is that what we should be expecting, or is that completely off?
willow shoal
That’s about where I am... the sleeper/early enemies move and act almost identical to the thrall. I just hope there isn’t a cursed thrall analogue in GTFO. Since primary attack for smaller enemies is melee, having one explode in your face would suck!
And I’ll stop there before I give the devs evil thoughts...

Like the boomer 👀
Super weak but can explode and the explosion attracts enemies
Not the fact that there is any thing in them they just make a really loud noise

That would be hilarious
willow shoal
Destiny’s “Boomers” are a pain in the ass, too. They typically stand on ledges above you and toss an endless stream of what can only be described as molotov cocktails from hell down on you, which do AoE explosive damage on impact and then burn damage for about 10 seconds after. When you try to shoot them, they pop a shield that HEALS them!
barren forum
I have a question about the whole prisoner thing. If they players are convicted criminals, do they have military training that makes the warden select them for this stuff, are they given training in prison, or are they just sent down without any military skills?
open geyser
The latter
willow shoal
The impression I get from talking with Simon and Ulf (along with a lot of my own thoughts on the characters) is that the Warden himself is a shady character that owes some powerful people a lot of money. He gets word about this "abandoned" government research facility that did some nasty, probably illegal, research projects, and recruits the meanest, toughest four prisoners to do his dirty work. Access to this research facility is either on prison grounds, or very near the prison.
As for military training, that is likely, possibly as mercenaries.

enemies gib in odd ways, too, they extend and expand and then just kinda pop

They are potatoes
Placeholders for the actual blood content. As this was a demo.
@inland fable

Ok thx 😃

Do we actually know if they are placeholders?

@inland fable Don't judge how they explode into potatos

they look like lemons tbh
maybe they explode into F-1 fragmentation grenades. That also explode.
mild ravine

mhm
ruby lance
they don't, though, potatoes grow in all sorts of shapes
this is a more citrus-y shape
mild ravine
hey they can grow however they like
trail current
L e m o n a t o e s
mild ravine
And just because they don't all look the same doesn't change how they look like potatos
ruby lance
F1 frag grenades.
mild ravine
I have never seen a frag nade so they could
tranquil fog
I think its a inside joke when it comes to the potatos 😂
ruby lance
mild ravine
Ahh
trail current
Lemonatoes
because why not both?
mild ravine
Well they do look pretty damn close
ruby lance
except for the tiny penis on the top
mild ravine
Hey If u ever feel sad Just go pull the pin and give a nade a hug
ruby lance
"pull"
mild ravine
Just like cooking toast in the bathtub U get a electrifying experience and a piece of toast
mild ravine
What isn't that what its called pulling the pin?
mild ravine
Well I don't do nades i live in australia
ruby lance
that's why cooking grenades isn't very realistic btw
because A. the "timer" isn't a timer
mild ravine
I don't think non millitary personel are allowed nades
ruby lance
you can't be sure how long it lasts
mild ravine
In australia
ruby lance
B. because of that you let go of the pin as you throw
unless you need a dead man's switch or something
and look, potatoes may be some cool inside joke
but they're not potatoes so it's WRONG
fast python
Wasn't cooking grenades for 2 seconds something standard procedure for WW2 training both sides?
mild ravine
Well they are a bug and have no difinitive purpose
ruby lance
well, the M24 did not have a pin
fast python
I forgot, so I might just as well be wrong. And now we are talking German and British nades.
ruby lance
as for Mk2, I don't know
ruby lance
THEY'RE FAKE POTATOES

well ok a question I have is: given the ahem, "interesting" shapes of the monsters I feel the blobs already seem fitting. What will they be replaced with?
blood, giblets, both?
mild ravine
all of the above?
mild ravine
We got back on subject!
ruby lance
genuinely wondering, though

I leave for 5 minutes and it gets way off topic
mild ravine
Hey we are back on topic panda don't worry
celest mural
Go. To general. I dont see you asking game related questions.
shoos you all back to general chat
ruby lance
uh, do I repeat it?
mild ravine
Ok how about this will there be any Missions where we can choose NON STEALTHY weps and or a gamemode that is just pure survival with more ammo or defend the point
And then like maybe have specific weps where u can choose things that aren't a thing in the main proper game or only be there when u can do it and it not Fuck over the team
ruby lance
could be something for suggestions
mild ravine
Well yea tru but still a qustion
mild ravine
@rose basalt No i mean like actual no steal weps like a RPG or a minigun
SOmething that isn't just anti-stealth its Hey Come Kill me
fast python
You could probably do that in the regular gamemodes.
mild ravine
No cus limited ammo in missions
So u can't rly go no stealth-mode
But like a mission or mode specificly so u cna run around like a headless chicken and just be able to go nuts and complete the mission
fast python
I meant that as in that you can, but it is unlikely to succeed.
mild ravine
Tru
what about the guns then?
They def won't have those kinds of guns accesable in the main missions
cus 2 trolly
pulsar dew
I haven't been able to keep up with this sort of thing because of my schedule but will there be a beta in the future? If so, will it be open, invite only or buy in?
blissful dove
@mild ravine We don't plan to have players weapons of mass destruction. Don't expect mini guns and grenade launchers. No part of GTFO is run-and-gun or "arcade-y" in any way.
The tone of GTFO very much relies on you feeling vulnerable and outnumbered. You'll get weapon to defend yourself, not to start a war. 😉
inland fable
Will there be different levels of difficulty? If so, what will this affect?
rose basalt
We don't know details about how the difficulties will work
dry sleet
I dont know if this question was already asked but what about silencers/Suppressors ? And if there wont be any could there be a possibility to like "stealth meele" a key figure so you deal with less monsters ?
mint locust
No silencers, because that would break the concept of the game.
blissful dove
Yeah no suppressors, but there might be other tools that aid in that area.
dry sleet
Thanks for the answer guys
Really looking forward for the game. Got me the most hyped since L4D2 xD

How do you spell the release date for gtfo

Re difficulties: There will be ways to adapt the difficulty to your ability, or increase the challenge if you like pain, but it won't work as in other games where it's just an option in the lobby screen.

It seems as if you increase your own difficulty in a way, by choosing the more crowded paths, and going deeper, thinning out your resources further.
But I wouldn't know.

I'm planning on saving quite a few paychecks to get the game for my group of like 8 people who play together

Simons said no WMDs (miniguns, rocket launchers, etc.)
I assume a flamethrower would get thrown under that blanket but I could be wrong.

It is a silent weapon
Maybe like a blowtorch
That hss 2 uses
For closing up doors and toburn things
brisk venture
As Honey said, a flamethrower probably won't be in the game. As for your suggestion, @vocal bridge there's already a similar tool in the game, the glue gun. It will be able to seal doors, slow down enemies, etc.

so besides the few trailers and gameplay footage, what other sources of information do we have GTFO?
willow shoal
There's not a whole lot out there right now. Some of us here on the server have had (limited) hands on experience with the game, so we can try to answer any questions you may have...
lunar bay
depends on what do you want to know about xD, am i right @willow shoal we try our best ;)
willow shoal
Yep! 20 minutes (if lucky) is not really enough to see everything! But yeah, ask away! It's why we are here!
lone nebula
hahah for me im fine with the gameplay, what i'm most interested in is that would there be any kind of detailed storytelling as far as you can see or will it be just a simple backstory that's shown to you and you gotta figure or speculate about the rest?
thanks a lot though, for sharing your experiences!
willow shoal
Yeah, I think there is some form of story/lore being written and produced, but right now, the devs are focused on creating a quality game. How the story is incorporated in the game (either through reading virtual character cards/profiles (more likely) or through FMV cutscenes (less likely), is yet to be determined, as far as I know.
Either way, there will be some sort of backstory to GTFO.
lone nebula
Yea, i just think it's a real pity if such an interesting concept is not fleshed out lorewise
willow shoal
Keep in mind, GTFO is being created by a team of 9 devs.
lone nebula
only thing we know is that these things came with an asteroid that killed the dinosaurs
willow shoal
I think the enemies in GTFO were created as a result of a combination of things. Alien bacteria, Government experimentation, radioactive by-products, etc.
We know that the facility in which the expeditions take place runs DEEP underground.
lone nebula
yea true, certain layers of the Chicxulub crater is rich in iridium, might explain why there's mining there
keen kraken
will the game have a french support (written and sound)?
narrow kettle
@keen kraken So far the game will only feature english afaik
Keep in mind, the game is being made by 9 people
keen kraken
@narrow kettle does the game will feature a "player translate helper" where we can help to translate the game?
keen kraken
@narrow kettle ok thanks ^^
blazing crown
For those that have played it, how many tools can a character bring with them on a mission? Also, what type of tools did you bring when you did play and what did you think of them?
lunar bay
u can choose primray weapons, which are, a pistol, an smg, a light Dmr type of gun, a light Rifle type of weapon. Then there is a special wepaon slot, which you can choose a Gausse rifle, a heavy DMR, Shotgun and more,
On the equipmentg tools, so far what i saw, in my Game with Simon, was a Glue Gun (which you can slow enemies down or reinforce doors) , a Sentry gun (selfexplanatory, C4 which can kill you (seen in trailer xD) a Life Scanner, which can tell you how many enemeys are behind a door/wall and if they are commons or special enemies. You can also Highlight the Heads of the Enemies during a loud scene, to help your mates to get better headshots.
Also seen in the trailer another scnaning device to scan the Room directly for a bit
blazing crown
interesting, i can see how even by a lack of firepower the concept of vulnerability is reinforced
lone nebula
what about the potatoes? 😂
narrow kettle
@lone nebula thats a secret
lone nebula
😦
lunar bay
Well @blazing crown , dir Most Situations the primary weapon should be all right, for heavier firepower/response for a huge wave u would suggest using the special weapon, wanna point out that ammunition for the special weapons, are a indeed smaller, like you have really less rounds available (maybe like 10-40 depends which special weapon)

inland fable
Will there be a voice filter like a radio for immersion too?
lunar bay
@inland fable I think they answered that earlier (like 1 week ago) the thing is, if they do that for the Ingame voice chat, many people, who playing with thier friends are gonna use anyways like discord, or teamspeak or any other voice chat. so that would be a bit of extra work, but also a bit wasted from thier end, cuz people could like not understanding thier mates

Oh yeah, i understand. Of course it's not indispensable

So i think there was a question a while back that was unanswered. Is there any trading in the game?
lunar bay
What do you man with trading? So far I do not know that there is any trading of anything in the game but I'll try to reach out for a dev
hexed bronze
As far as I know there's no mention of a trade function. You obtain gear by collecting materials during missions and completing them.
coarse spire
Yeah trading wouldn't make much sense with the systems we know about for obtaining/upgrading gear so I reckon not.
blissful dove
There's no trading, no. You scavenge for commodities and materials ("scav") in the Complex and use them to build your arsenal/toolset. The game is designed to not reward players for reaching a scav box first, since this would encourage players to depart from the group and run ahead.
thorny bobcat
What do you mean by "not designed"? Does all scav found get equally given or shared between players?
rose basalt
given what he said, i'd say the rewards are equally given
thorny bobcat
I'd think that'd normally be a given
blissful dove
Yeah, if only the first player who reached a scav box would get the reward, that would e courage selfish player behavior and totally crush the team spirit.
thorny bobcat
Do the levels vary visually/aesthetically? Will I find that deeper facilities appear to have had different purposes (e.g. higher up might have been storage depots while lower down might be factories or laboratories)
I've only really seen the same sort of 'rocky hollowed out cave' in all of the footage I've seen and I'm somewhat worried about levels all being 'the same'
open geyser
Yeah all the footage is from the same area (the Complex I think?), there are a few more, though I don't know if you get to visit different ones within the same mission.
blissful dove
So far we have only shown the mining and storage settings. There are other interior sets in the Complex that haven't been revealed yet.
It's all part of "the Complex" though.
thorny bobcat
Sounds complex

@barren forum the most we know is that we will learn more story wise through playing expeditions
So basically nothing of substance lol
inland fable
Will there be an option to play privately with his friends for example being only 2 without having a stranger who can join?
coarse spire
Im positive private lobbies will be a thing
willow shoal
Private lobbies will likely be a thing, but the game is being designed for four player teams.
blissful dove
Yes you can host private lobbies. The game is best experienced together with three other players but you will be able to play only two people as well.
prisma stirrup
competitive mode
coarse spire
wat
prisma stirrup
he said it could be played with two people, and I was making a joke about how the game is very team focused, as it would be a disaster if two people tried competing instead of working together. 2 players = 1 v 1 head to head sort of thing. its probably a bad joke
blissful dove
You won't be able to compete with the members of your team, although you can of course compete as a team against other teams to see who can beat a certain expedition in the shortest time.
It's not a game mode though. You'll have to challenge and set up the rules on your own.
coarse spire
Speed running in these games always lost my interest when some insane times just came down to rng
Like in PD2 perfect guard rng Ez clapper bois

@prisma stirrup That would indeed be disastrous. 😉
willow shoal
Not entirely sure GTFO is going to be speed-runnable. Would be interesting to watch people try, though.
coarse spire
People will speed run anything lol
willow shoal
Question I've been thinking of... there are expeditions up to and probably over 6 hours long. Is there some way to set mission parameters to set the estimated length of the expedition to say, 2 hours?
Or is the length of the expedition rng along with everything else? 😉
blissful dove
Every time new content is released for GTFO, there's gonna be a lot of prestige in being the first team to beat it.
inland fable
That's why I asked the question for the private parties. I prefer playing with a friend and having trouble, than playing with 3 strangers who rush the level.
mild ravine
prestige? in being the first team?
blissful dove
The six hour expedition is theoretical atm, please don't expect the game to be about that.
prisma stirrup
wait, so you guys will be releasing maps over time?
willow shoal
Have you watched any Destiny/Destiny 2 'Worlds First' streams when a new Raid drops? It'll probably be like that.
blissful dove
You can't set expedition parameters by yourself, but most expeditions will be more "snack size" so it shouldn't be a problem. The longer expeditions might come as "rewards" for teams who dig really deep...
inland fable
My god this game will be brillant
willow shoal
Okay... I guess that answers the question. I figured most expeditions would be quicker...
coarse spire
Well everyone may as well give up on getting worlds first sorry they're all mine and krongs
mild ravine
Then u better get me in
narrow kettle
lies
mild ravine
:D
blissful dove
You're gonna want to play GTFO with friends rather than pubs if you can, yes. It's a game that will demand a lot of the team in terms of communication and coordination, so a tight team with shorthand lingo is the best!
mild ravine
Will there be mechanics for the first expecdition?
willow shoal
Just wondered if there was a way to set the size of the expedition area to accommodate several runs in like a party setting.
narrow kettle
the game wont have a huge tutorial
mild ravine
No but like for the Destiny raids they are very specific
blissful dove
@mild ravine Mechanics for the first expedition?
mild ravine
I mean like is there going to be something similar
Or will it be similar to what we would play thruout the game already but just harder
willow shoal
I actually rather like the Destiny Raid puzzle bits that require different team members to do specific things.
ie stand on a certain plate and shoot a specific target.
blissful dove
Sorry @mild ravine, I don't get it. You ask "is there gonna be mechanics for the first expedition?" What mechanics? What's the "first expedition"?
blissful dove
You're asking if the longer expeditions are gonna have unique mechanics?
mild ravine
Ye
inland fable
I wanted to know how hard the game is.
Let me explain, it's not against you, I love the work you do on GTFO, but many games boast of having a terrifying atmosphere and being tough. But after a few hours we lose that fear. How does GTFO handle this? To keep the player in suspense every moment?
mild ravine
Well Not everyone will be jumpy period Cus they will get used to the admosphere
If your used to things like that its just going to take even less tiem
time*
willow shoal
I'd guess that the variety of monsters should keep it interesting for a while. Then throw different combinations of monsters in to change the pace up a bit...
coarse spire
I'm going to be honest and say it's very hard to near impossible to keep someone scared and fearful of an area they work and play in for hundreds to thousands of hours. Suspense and uneasiness is a different story but that too fades. The dynamic music setup Simon is behind I believe will certainly help but honestly I'm more interested in the teamwork and co-op elements. Less about the horror aspect.
mild ravine
^
willow shoal
Enemy encounters are also going to be dynamic. You'll not know what you are going to be facing from one expedition to the next. Or even from one team wipe to the next...
inland fable
I agree, but just a scary atmosphere changes the way we cooperate.
coarse spire
I get that but there's a finite number of monsters and specials. Eventually you'll get used to a horde randomly dropping on ya or a big daddy grabbing you and carrying you away.
I'm just talking from personal experience here. Left 4 dead as a kid scared me for the first few hours. But after playing through all the campaigns and encountering the same zombies each map I got used to it and wasn't scared. It became more a team game.
I think gtfo will have a longer horror shelf life than left 4 dead though.
mild ravine
What they will add in the future will probs be to stop us from getting used to it but Would take alot of work
coarse spire
Oh yeah I imagine each new content patch will renew the horror aspect for a bit no doubt
blissful dove
There are two types of fear: The fear you feel by immersing yourself into the situation of your in-game alter ego, meaning the fear of being eaten by monsters. This fear will fade rather quickly no matter what we do because it builds on fear of the unknown and we can't introduce new unknown factors in a rapid enough pace to keep players on edge. However, the other type of fear is the fear you as a player feel when the stakes are high and you know that small mistakes will wreck your attempt at finishing the expedition. This fear will live much longer, and I think the two fears will feed each other and make the game scary for a longer time.
coarse spire
That second fear is pretty fucking true lol. Shit can get stressful in these games.
inland fable
Thank you Simon for the answer 😃
willow shoal
Couldn't have said it better, Simon. There's one thing when you are just taking out a few sleepers with sledge hammers. It's quite another when you are trying to get a scan done to go through a door with a horde fighting your every step.
blissful dove
Yes, and if the game is set in a horror environment with music that makes you feel uneasy and creepy monsters that may or may not be lurking around the next corner... It's a potent experience.
inland fable
How do the hordes work? Do they appear according to the noise we make? Or does it appear randomly regardless of our degree of discretion ?
coarse spire
Speaking of playing the game...lol do you know how long of a notice we'll get for a beta date? I really want to request days off work but have no idea if I'll have enough time to do so.
blissful dove
I just want to adjust your expectations when it comes to the horror aspect of the game. We know people won't be scared forever by the monsters and creepy environments alone, but the game is very much about always being outgunned and low on health and that will add a huge stress factor to the overall experience that becomes even more powerful when the game's setting is so creepy.
inland fable
Yeah i agree
coarse spire
For sure, makes sense
mild ravine
Ok so before i die of fear im going to have a heart attk
blissful dove
I don't want to explain how hordes work, it would take away from the mystery of the game. You'll have to make your own studies when the game is playable... All I can say is, don't cause to much noise...
coarse spire
Then perish.
mild ravine
Atleast once When me n my mates get the game we are going to try that

yeah the tv show simon. Was making a reference to whispering in the latest episodes with the hordes of zombies
coarse spire
@inland fable you'll always end up fighting a horde I believe.
Unfortunately right now full stealth expeditions aren't on the table
😭
mild ravine
aren't the walking dead zombies are rly bad tbh can't they ONLY WALK
blissful dove
Hm, there's no way to stealth an entire expedition, not right now. The game forces you to make noise at one point or another. The final game will allow more ways to avoid confrontation through the use of finite commodities, but I can't say rn if that will make it possible to stealth an entire expedition. Maybe a very short one.
inland fable
I also think it's random. A door that opens with too much noise, an alarm that rings, all this to put us in trouble

It'd be cool if parts of the environment changes on wipes. So like a door you open that squeaks in one run may not in another so you have to take a chance on if you want to use that commodity to quiet the area. that'd be cool
blissful dove
Yes we have played around with the idea of having doors that make noise accidentally (as opposed to doors that "announce" that they will make noise as they have visible alarm horns attacked to them) but it might only be frustrating to get RNG slapped in the face like that with no way of knowing beforehand... That's Rage quit time.
Maybe if there was a way to foresee if the door would squeak, like a tool or something. I don't know.

Also like give monsters x extra health, x extra damage, etc.
Make hordes x percent bigger. Stuff like that
mild ravine
Maybe have karma be a thing?

Defining modifiers/mutators: things you turn on/off to change the experience. There are tons in Payday 2, they are just silly things to change the way the game plays. They dont have to be silly though
coarse spire
^
blissful dove
The game sort of relies on modifiers to create variation - infinite combinations of map layouts, monsters, monster placement, environmental hazards, objective, etc. So yeah, I'd say there will be modifiers but you can't choose them on your own.
prisma stirrup
sounds interesting
coarse spire
OK yeah everyone was thinking toggleable ones to add extra challenge

It's like the weekly Nightfall in Destiny, which has modifiers that forces you to change your approach.

Only thing we know is the rigs they use at the office are PCs from 2014-2015 using i7 4790, 16GB RAM and GTX 970.

ah big question, I'm getting friends interested and I really want to know if there will be a bundle pack for the game (buy 4 copies at a discounted price or some such or even just buy 1 get 1 copy half off) I hate having co-op games that I have to play by myself because nobody else wants to drop the money on it/can't spare the money. If the price point is decent (30 dollars ish) then that is a different story. Perhaps we could get temporary trial keys on purchase? I just need to get them hooked enough to buy it if the price point is decent lol
(yes I read the FAQ that said the price point won't be premium but that ain't exactly a solid answer)

A valid question that has appeared time and time again. However we do not have a definitive answer as of this momemt. Keep an eye for announcememts and more info as it gets closer to release. They (the devs) will most definitely answer it when they have the details hammered out. For now the focus is building the game. :)

@ocean moth Feel free to converse in the #amba-general. Or #general. You will find plenty of other players come release.

second question (I haven't seen any evidence of this yet) I know that 10chambers is an independent studio and was wondering if there was a secondary way to support their development (merch or anything like that)
mild ravine
Isn't that said that they might do that later on?
think this is it -
11) Will there be DLC or microtransactions in GTFO?
We are committed to not having any microtransactions in GTFO, and the continuous updates to the game will be completely free. However, we do need to put food on the table, so if the planned business model does not work out as planned, we might add some cosmetic "support the devs" type DLC. We promise though, that there will never be any P2W or shady loot box type micro transactions in GTFO.

@mild ravine yeah was just wondering if there was anything to do to help them leading up to development and release as opposed to post-release (and I was maybe hopeful to get some merch XD)
ocean moth
they have a youtube channel
mild ravine
Wtf they do
ocean moth
not sure about patreon though
mild ravine
Subbing rn
ocean moth
yeah they have gameplay and motioncap sessions
lol
it's actually some interesting stuff
mild ravine
There we go

#general or #gtfo-chat if you guys continue this conversation ;)

got it

What type of punishment(s) will apply if a player DCs?
coarse spire
@twilit zenith we don't know. All we can do is speculate but I don't imagine there being any tbh.
mild ravine
For a temp amount of time ingame
twilit zenith
Do you know if there will be any ranking system, like MMR in DOTA 2?
coarse spire
Tbh non intentional dcs happen all the time. If player drop in is an option for pugs I don't see why we'd need one.
Also as far as ranked or mmr goes quantifying that for a pve game is very difficult. So probably not
mild ravine
Yea but Punish the Toxic players who rage quit
twilit zenith
DCing is one way to grieve players. I think there needs to be a punishment
twilit zenith
Happens all the time in DOTA
coarse spire
Eh it was never an issue in PD2 and with player drop in it won't be any different here. This game is meant to be played with friends not with randoms anyways. I don't agree players should be punished for what can be their internet hiccuping.
twilit zenith
Oh
coarse spire
Dota is a pvp game, this is not
mild ravine
If there will be nothing that they will loose then trolls will do it
coarse spire
You overestimate how many people exist to "troll" imo
mild ravine
Still I have a couple of mates who would def do it
twilit zenith
OK, I hope I can ready up with strangers... I might not have 3 other friends ready to play when I am...
coarse spire
You can, public mm will be available
twilit zenith
OK, I know DOTA is a different style game. But, the option to grieve in public matches will happen.
coarse spire
Just understand the game isn't being built to cater to the public matchmaking crowd. And grieving matches by leaving is a very very small issue not worth frustrating players in a pve game who might just DC by accident through internet issues. Player drop in fully fixes any issues with rage quit dcs.
twilit zenith
Kool, I didn't realise there was a player drop.
ty
It happened A LOT in L4D
Then we would have a useless AI
coarse spire
It's a 4 player pve game if there isn't player drop in I'd be very surprised honestly. I don't think they've ever explicitly said if there is or isn't though so keep that in mind.
Personally I still don't feel there should be dc punishment and it ESPECIALLY shouldn't decrease your damage or anything in game.
mild ravine
Then when u play versus with a team of 4 split The people who have the most hours on it get the ebst AI with fucking aimbot then the shit players get the AI thats stupid af
coarse spire
There is no teammate AI in gtfo
If there was a punishment it should only be a small 5-10 minute ban from matchmaking, and it should only happen if you dc from a ton of games prematurely in a short time window.
Not just 1 or 2
twilit zenith
Agreed
mild ravine
Ok so you are wanting a system to rejoin a game
coarse spire
Maybe scale up the more temp bans you receive in a certain time window
I dunno, but I'm for no punishment personally, just god please nothing that makes you less effective in game. That would punish everyone.
mild ravine
Fair
twilit zenith
It does depend on the type of player. You're on the right path with not having too many idiots in the game. because the game has been marketed so far to be a team game.

Griefing was always an issue in PD2. But I think it's less likely one here. Or at least hopefully.
