theres gonna be a group with more luck than what you think of you no-luck uwu
vital sierra
yea
especially that group i play that have 3 - 4 scout in B2
and that one dude in team just not a good listener
and trigger all 4 scouts
full sundial
@vital sierra There is also the possibility that the sleeper started croaking, but didn't start listening, like that moment when they start turning pink that won't count as them croaking, and same for when they stop croaking, especially from when they were pulsing, at the end of the pulse, they will still be pink, but you can crouch around and it won't wake them, only for a small amount of time though
sorry for the run on sentence
vital sierra
i just feel like the alert mechanic are also RNG
you can whack them when they're not light up to lower the chance to aggro them
chrome silo
how do we deal with the tentacle dude
our team tried many time to stealth & kill it but the tentacles were just so annoying
chrome silo
hammer it
how do we even get close to it😢
vital sierra
you crouch walk to it
toxic aurora
Wait for tentacles to retract or intrecept when it is walking.
chrome silo
how about the big guy
vital sierra
1 guy head whack 3 guy back whack
toxic aurora
vital sierra
ya fail to kill what?
chrome silo
horde of them..
chrome silo
what should we do when we encounter a tentacle dude running around while its sidekicks are also present
do we head shot the boss first? or do we stealth & kill the smaller ones first
lilac fulcrum
Depends how many enemies you want to fight. in most cases, you're going to have to fight
if you let the scout detect you, that's the worst option as it'll call reinforcements (tentacles hit you, or you don't fully kill it in one shot
so you can get a sniper, get a headshot, then deal with the sleepers that wake up
you can go another step in preparedness and try to stealth kill as many sleepers as possible first, = less enemies to fight
you can use a hammer to stealth kill the scout even
chrome silo
snap thx that sounds very tatical
lilac fulcrum
or just setup turrets and trip mines and prepare for the enemies to fight
vital sierra
at this point, bring the sniper and shoot it
full sundial
you should also wait for the scout to leave, and while it is gone, kill the sleepers stealthily
when it comes back, try to take out the sscout
only problem with that plan is if you mess up the stealth, you alert the room and the scout
chrome silo
yeah that already happened to us
vital sierra
"Let's stealth this section"
"and then we can kill the scout"
the scout alerted immediately
full sundial
works for me, but if you mess up the stealth, which can happen very easily, you're fucked, which has also happened a few times to me when I was starting out
if you're able to stealth kill the scout right away, even with other sleepers around, you should do it, then try to stealth kill any sleepers that wake up by walking/crouching to them
and hope RNG is in your favor and they try to attack instead of scream
but either way, taking out the scout should be a high priority
chrome silo
thx guys really appreciate these advice
chrome silo
it sure is💯
unkempt ridge
yes it doesn't mean a lot
unkempt ridge
I know the back of the leg is the same (full charge melee on the shooter to test it, it's one shot) but I don't know about the whole legs, don't think so
for me it's just the whole half is front and the other half is back, if you cut a sleeper in two
legs included
maybe I'm wrong though
but then I don't explain why the shooters would be one shot on the back of their legs
chrome silo
🤔

limbs take less damage, but attacks from behind deal double damage, and the head takes triple damage

So I've watched the 2017 trailer at least 17 times now. I must ask what happened to that cool gadget that allowed you to see the layout of a room with a flash, and what happened to the final monster at the very end?
Those ideas get scrapped?
craggy pier
Might have been scrapped, or it never got out of the testing stage and it might come later. As long as the layout of the levels are preset, then that item would only be useful the first time you're playing a level.
frail pelican
Sadly._.
craggy pier
Planned
The pulse scanners yes thats its name
Is gonna comr
And the tounge is also to coms
They not scrapped
I just hope layouts are somewhat randomized for the item to be more useful
Its a hand made map and itll be a tool
They are all hand made
Only random stuff is enemies and lock/box placements
frail pelican
Oh YES! wooooooo
craggy pier
If maps will always be the exact same, it will be useless though
No
Itll be good in the dark
To see the rokm around you
Sure, the first time you play the map
No.
When you know what it looks like, you won't need it
Its always good to see whate around yoi
Nobody remebers the ENTIRE MAP(s) of a gmae like this
Itll also help your teammates
Depends on how well you remember maps I suppose
And your teammates cause they can also be helped from it
Same thing applies to them
Sigh
You dont get it
Nobody is haha pro xd know everything
Plus maps being dark means you wont see an entire map unlike othervgames makimg it super hard go remebee
It'll only be useful before entering a room, and yeah, it will be helpful the first few times doing it. So if you're a person who plays every map once and then you're done with the rundown then sure, it's a good item. Otherwise, no
I get ig you have photoperfic memory
But 90% of the playerbase ismt like that
Many rooms look the same
And people who played it too many times usually help others who havnt done it for that amont of time
Its better than the bioscanner from what weve seen atleast
I don't disagree that it's good for new players
It's just completely useless if you're more experienced
But but your team isnt
So it helps them
Then they can use it if they want
No you use it to help them
I mean if you wanna help them, make everyone pick the shotgun sentry, since that's the best and you don't need anything else
No its nit
Using so msny ss will destrou there ammo
No
2 ss already eat toolkits
Use it at a security door, clear the room/rooms, you'll get tool kit
Repeat
They are limited dude
Yeah but you still get enough
To clear the current levels
With 4 shotgun sentries
Sigh
You dont get it
A good tool, is useful for new players and experienced players
The scanner would be good for new ones
But not for experienced ones
Its not even in the game m8
I know
Just from what we know and can see, I give my opinion on it. Could change if they release it. Just making the point that it seems to be completely useless if you are not new to the levels. Which is fine, just saying how I view it currently
full sundial
I think adding the room scanner thing as an attachment or just extra thing for the bio tracker would be nice.
Having it as its own tool that you have to choose over other tools, if all it did was scan the room, wouldn't be useful at all over the other options.
But having it be a new feature of the bio tracker would be good.

question, do you need to be 18 to be a bug tester? or can you get a parent to sign it along with yourself?
craggy pier
Pretty sure they can't sign an NDA for you
analog shale
hm, ill check with a lawyer friend.
worthy pollen
yes you need to be legal enough to sign the NDA
analog shale
i mean, im 16, close to 17, perhaps there can be a clause that waives my right to void the contract...?
idk, maybe im just talking out of my ass
sturdy dew
There is an option to state you are under 18
analog shale
... somehow..
sturdy dew
If you really want to try just make sure you don’t lie in that question
sturdy dew
No clue
worthy pollen
depends on desicion of the people looking the forms
analog shale
can one of you guys ask? i really need some kind of "job" experience.
even if its not a job per se..
worthy pollen
( not to being a douchebag but if you want to find a job experience you should look on your own for it not sending anyone )
sturdy dew
I’m pretty sure they’re not gonna give up anything about the process
If you want to try anyway do @ D0cR3d

mmh?.
worthy pollen
why not asking d0c ? hes the main guy managin the docs or any admin idk if that would work but there have more precise answers
sturdy dew
You can but doc said they don’t really want to go through that
“technically you can be under 18 but a parental guardian would need to sign, and just starts getting messier to deal with”
That’s what he said
thorny current
Yeah, I doubt that too. Also both parties need to agree on a contract. If they see you are under 18, they probably don't care that much.
It is just more work for them
sturdy dew
In the end it’s the devs choice
thorny current
Yup!
stuck vale
kind trail
also if you're under 18 the NDA has to be in the minors best interest
analog shale
... i'd say it's in the interest of both parties. i dont know what i need to secure and what i can divulge. but then again, im not sure if that'd be submissable in court..

It is the strongest out of that category

revolver is a secondary?
craggy pier
Revolver is a special weapon
DMR is a main weapon
craggy pier
You may want the shotgun to deal with big guys?
sage pecan
y would anyone pick dmr
sturdy dew
because its good
sturdy dew
dmr is amazing in general
sage pecan
how tho
thorny current
I use the dmr
sage pecan
if it cant oneshot like the revolver does
sturdy dew
if you can actually hit things you can kill easily
thorny current
I use the shotty
sturdy dew
the revolver is a secondary
sage pecan
i dont mean any offense to the dmr btw im just genuinely curious what role it fills
sturdy dew
dmr is a good thing to have with a short range secondary
craggy pier
I don't think the main weapons have to fill a role honestly, they're all pretty decent and it's mostly preference
craggy pier
The special weapons are the ones that fill certain roles
sage pecan
the dmr seems like it should be a special weapon then
sturdy dew
secondaries are more specific, primaries are generalised
sage pecan
idk abt anyone else but its krap at close range imo
sage pecan
and if primaries are supposed to be "general use"
craggy pier
So you have different ranges
sturdy dew
thats the balence
sage pecan
i would say the dmr should be a special
craggy pier
DMR is long range
SMG is short range
Assault Rifle is medium range
sturdy dew
they are effective in their own situations but can still be used anywhere
the specials cannot be used for every situation
craggy pier
It's not
sturdy dew
its not long range
craggy pier
It sucks at killing big guys
sage pecan
:o
thorny current
Still a special though
sturdy dew
no
minor fractal
Revolver is bad at big guys and chargers
sturdy dew
but the sights arent made for loing range
sturdy dew
its short medium
sage pecan
fair enough
minor fractal
It does have damage fall off.
sage pecan
watt
sage pecan
idk
i havent tested it but the revolver seems to oneshot the head for the little guys
every time ive used it
no matter the distance
minor fractal
Yes, that is its purpose. It has high enough dmg that the falloff doesn't really matter for little guys
sage pecan
oic
still i dont get dmr
like
each ammo use gives 15 revolver rounds
and 11 dmr ruonds
and if the dmr doesnt oneshot the little guy's head
y would i bother
i would rather just take revolver
thorny current
So and what if I dont want to use the revolver?
minor fractal
Revolver doesn't oneshot strikers at long range, though
thorny current
I use the shotty
sage pecan
if u dont wanna use revolver i respek that
thorny current
So in combination I use the dmr
sage pecan
im not here to judge anyones weapon choice im just
sturdy dew
if you take the revolver you cant take another secondary
sage pecan
genuinely confuzzled abt dmr purpose
sturdy dew
what primary do you use?
thorny current
Sure revolver and dmr prolly dont rly fit together
minor fractal
DMR is just kind of ass. It's mostly a shooter killer, but that's very niche.
sturdy dew
i lik it
thorny current
me too
sage pecan
i just hate that theres bullet travel time
and i havnt figured out how to lead the shot well

i dont remember who i was talking abt it with but i tested the dmr and it does indeed seem to kill shooters with one headshot without dmg falloff, but the revolver does have falloff
that being said i still think dmr should be special weapon bc of its limited use scenario
minor fractal
I think DMR is perfectly fine as a primary, if it gets buffed. Needs to fall in-line more with the alternatives.
sturdy dew
I think its good where it is
thorny current
I believe the dmr is good too. You can cripple strikers with one shot and kill shooter in one too. Maybe increase the ammo a bit you just need to aim right, but that could be said for all weapons
minor fractal
I consider the main drawback being the inability to oneshot strikers to the front of the head.
That seems like a pretty big weakness for an already hard to use weapon.
placid cobalt
Actually Ray the DMR can one shot strikers
only if you hit them from point blank.
just like how the revolver takes 4-shots to kill a charger but its a 3-shot kill for a charger at point blank
minor fractal
@placid cobalt I'm mostly sure you're landing the back of the head.
So, perhaps that is practical, but does undermine the long range.
vital sierra
back of the head 1 shot using DMR
in loud situation the charger not gonna turn their back on us anyway
placid cobalt
No I was certain I hit them from the front because I had 5 of them crowding in front of me on A1 and downed them all in 1 shot cause I was so damned close
minor fractal
Crawling or standing enemies?
vital sierra
no
minor fractal
It might depend on where you shoot the head.
placid cobalt
Maybe
placid cobalt
I was solo
vital sierra
then you most likely shot it already
and then the second one it the headshot kill it
i'm 100% sure
placid cobalt
I was using a dmr and those were my first shots
minor fractal
Alpha, the damage varies around the sides of the head, and DMR already almost one taps.
placid cobalt
Shooting from point blank does increased dmr
vital sierra
i have a whole sheet here
placid cobalt

minor fractal
That's not true, though.
placid cobalt
Idk I’ve seen it happen to me
vital sierra

minor fractal
The DMR has no damage falloff over distance.
vital sierra
people always go on his stream and said DMR 1 shot striker in the head
and now he's just teasing his viewer with DMR
he headshoted every single striker he see with DMR
the whole stream was 1 hour and 30 minute solo B2 with the DMR
and C2
minor fractal
Is he intentionally aiming for the face, though?
vital sierra
yes
minor fractal
Figures.
vital sierra
intentionally aiming for the head
minor fractal
I bet if you aimed for the side of the head you could guarantee a one-shot.
vital sierra
well ray
full sundial
DMR can't one shot a striker on the front side of the head, only back side
vital sierra
that's just become a back of a head shot
placid cobalt
Smh just clip thru everything
full sundial
it is like back stabs as a spy in TF2, the hit box for what is considered the back can also thee the side that is closest to the back, if you get what I mean
so the half of the side of the head that is closest to the back might count as the back of the head

@indigo quiver No, they do not. You are likely missing.
Is there anyone who has already full-cleared B2?
Also, is there anyone who has seen scouts spawn in 92D or 98C?

All guns have bullet travel time and drop, yes
and @minor fractal I have completed C2 36 times now and haven't seen it, so it likely isn't possible for them to spawn in there, but maybe it is just a really low chance

23 times here, so I think that's probably true.
How often do you see the 18 scout in B2? @full sundial

Well, I guess. Im just thinking, if there is a booth, and the intention is that as much people try our game out as possible a shorter, but solid map would be ideal for the crowd. Only seems logical, but thanks for the info.
full sundial
@minor fractal pretty rarely, about 1/5 attempts would be my guess
minor fractal
@full sundial Figured, but I've had people claim they see it every time. I'm thinking it's a fluke or they're mistaken, since I have the same experience as you. It's certainly strange.
vital sierra
it's me
minor fractal
Not just you.
Had a different player I ran B2 with make the same claim.
Which is why I found it so odd and brought it back up.
It's odd enough, in-fact, that I'm legitimately considering that RNG can be player-dependent in some fashion.
vital sierra
when i solo B2 i saw it all the time
but when i play with people
it's just 50-50
i thought the scout spawn in 18C
but not all the time

that's how RNG works, it's random, and sometimes random things can line up to seem like it is not random

how do I stream GTFO gameplay
willow shoal
You'll need some sort of screen recording tool (such as OBS) and a pretty good internet connection (upload speed more important than download for streaming your gameplay). If you use GeForce graphics, nVidia provides the GeForce Experience, which provides pretty much an all-in-one solution for recording/streaming your gameplay.

Well, for me it is the challenge in it. For example my heart rate goes through the roof during alarm doors and esp in the extraction from A1 and B2. The same with scouts, cause messing up does hurt alot. I simply love my heart pumping like crazy. I feel rly alive and accomplished at that moment.^^
tribal ether
Hmm, I see, for me playing is about having fun
And playing alone in this kind of game brings no fun for me
But I get ya point
thorny current
Yeah, I understand you perfectly with that. I also love playing with others too. 🙂 and for fun.^^
amber basin
well I guess I couldn't figure out the joining process, the other 3 new guys did. lol its all good, i think they mentioned having played payday before this helps and I had not. so i would have most likely slowed them down. solos fine
thorny current
If you want, I can show you how to play later in the evening time of mine. Then I show you the fundamentals.
amber basin
I think I am tryin to play it like a RnG game. This is probably because I watched someone else play it with little difficulty and thought I could do the same thing.
thorny current
Yes, you need especially for the first map good rng. I cant deny that.
Tbh, I watched Markiplier doing A1 solo and when I bought the game thought I could do too. But after 20h I really lost the interested in it and I joined the discord server. Youll get better by playing with others. This helps you in turn to solo those levels.
amber basin
I hope so , step one for me is figuring out how to join someones group, imma go back and re read the howtomatchmake channel and see if i have any luck, thank you so much again!

Warden has no visual representation, so we took the symbol from the Apex doors in GTFO. Apex doors are the high security doors that require you to solve a puzzle and/or fight several waves of monsters to get through them.
ffs wrong channel
wise thicket
Apex door lolz
floral pecan
Good rng helps you i guess.. but not a need for A1 solo
Unless you aren't as experienced and need some rng to cover that
All you need is to find 1 set of c foam and take the guaranted spawn as well, so you have 4 nades for the second allarm door
tribal ether
Ye
topaz hawk
Does that man I can join other servers too?
Cause I've been sticking to Asia, since I don't wanna lag
tribal ether
Yeah, tho you might get latency issues, i have never had any before, so it's a maybe from me
tribal ether
Ye
tribal ether
If you still have the code
celest depot
@floral pecan where’s the guaranteed c foam spawn at?
floral pecan
once you get through the first allarm door, there's another door that needs a scan to be opened right ahead, under the stairs on the left
the one that never has enemies in it
celest depot
Oh yh zone 52?
floral pecan
1 of the boxes has them, always.
celest depot
K
floral pecan
Not sure about the name of the zone, don't play from a while (been waiting for new rundown)
celest depot
All g helping newbs is actually pretty fun for me I comp everything the other day
I’m hoping within a month for 002
floral pecan
yea i did that too, only difference is that i finished the rundown like 2 months ago 
i was thinking it might be in like 2 weeks now
(not a confirmed date or anything)
floral pecan
hope so, would be nice for sure
sage pecan
is the buckland 870 really a semi auto
i understand the in game description says it is but the character cycles the pump every time
sturdy dew
its a pump shotgun
sage pecan
i dont get y the in game desc would say otherwise :(
sturdy dew
hmm that is strange
minor fractal
Buckland 870 is inconsistent tbh. You also reload exactly 2 shells every reload >:|
sage pecan
yea that dont make much sense either
celest depot
^^ combat has more ammo and I’m getting good at hitting headshots consistently during waves/high stress moments
Honestly I do t see which situations pump would be better
Unless u rly need it for giants but u can sos the shit outa waves with combat so much better
full sundial
yeah, pump is the best for killing giants, takes two-three shots from the pump to kill a giant
sage pecan
im not saying pump is bad xd
pump is awesome
i just dont get y description would say its semi auto if its actually pump action
full sundial
early access small mistake I guess, but pump isn't useful unless you only use it in alarm doors and you have a team with more ammo to help too
pump on its own though would only be ammo efficient if you take on giants with it
even then, the combat shotty can do the same, just not as easily as the pump
but it has more ammo to make up for that
sage pecan
yea combat shotgun definitely has more ammo per ammopack
sturdy dew
i lik pump coz it feels beefy
sage pecan
hell yea
thorny current
I am using pump too. The dmg is nice and can be used to clear multiple sleepers or giants. So I like it. Also you are more prone to save your ammo, than spray and pray with the combat. But I like both.
stable locust
Will the roadmap be updated soon?
tribal ether
We are closing in on an update ye

Currently they have one level that's complete
Maybe they're bug testing the other ones

It’s best to learn yourself as well
In case you play with people who also don’t know how to do it
topaz hawk

fickle plank
In C2, is the exit at the entry pods or is it a different area?
minor shadow
Is the whole stealth system in this game just red light green light or does it open up later on? Is there more planned?
Trying to do this solo seems like the game is either waiting simulator for two hours or "fuck you, alarm doors, have fun loner." It'd be nice to have something more since the game and the steam page both encourage stealth playstyle.
lilac fulcrum
The game isn't meant to be played solo, but if you do, it will require different strategies and generally will be a bit slower as you're doing the work of 4 people (no scaling of number of enemies, etc).
There are a lot more features planned and in the works.
full sundial
@minor shadow you can also use your flashlights to force the enemies to glow when you want them to. You can use this to sync up the enemies glowing so they all go back to sleep at the same time, giving you a chance to move or kill one.
And the scout also gives a twist on the stealth when it is in the room.
But other than that, yeah, it is red light green light for the most part
minor shadow
As long as there's more planned, I'm happy. Also yeah I'm aware that solo is not the way to play, but I have no friends, no mic, and I enjoy not screwing up other people's games.
I can almost get past A-1's first security door.
novel compass
As someone considering picking this up, how welcoming is the community to new players?
karmic canyon
So you can use Overtone to get into matches the same way this discord is being used?
lilac fulcrum
yup!
karmic canyon
So now we have two services, dividing an already shrinking community, not a fan. Whats the point? How does this help the playerbase?
minor shadow
I don't think it's divisive if they add matchmaking to the game like they must plan to.
lilac fulcrum
It's not a way to divide the community but rather reach people who choose not to use discord
jolly kernel
I woudnt pick the game up yet, hasnt really gad new content since release in december, my friend and I got this game cause it looked super fun but hit reg is still kinda bad and the same rundown hasnt changed since release
had*
lilac fulcrum
People like options. There are people on reddit, steam, discord, vk, bunch of platforms
jolly kernel
my friend and I got through the entire thing in 4-5 hours its been 2 months and they still havent changed the rundown game IS fun but its not worth the price atm
lilac fulcrum
Overtone offers amazing voice quality and ability to create a party and get a match going quickly. There are also other amazing things planned for the future with Overtone to enhance your GTFO gaming experience
Nicky, so the devs have been busy creating new weapons, new sub-complex environment, new feature, improving existing components in the game, lots of bug fixes
karmic canyon
See that just sounds even more like it will divide the players, so I have to use two different services to find a match. Sometimes it takes me and a friend 10 or 15 minutes to find a match because the playerbase has shrunk so much. I want this game to succeed but I don't see this helping things.
lilac fulcrum
I can understand the frustration of nothing new in a few months, but this is early access and they are accomplishing a lot with a small team. they care about quality of work, so it takes time to get it right and be as bug free as possible
full sundial
They aren't working any slower than they were before, Nicky, just in this update they are bringing a lot more in
lilac fulcrum
That is something myself and the devs are keeping an eye on to make sure the player experience doesn't diminish and we're willing to make adjustments as needed
full sundial
Took them two years to go from their trailer in 2017 to an Alpha, then one month to add a new level, and another month or so to add 5 more, and now they are adding more content as well as a new rundown
so it makes sense it is taking them about 3-4 months to do that
and if it isn't worth the price rn, it will be later
but the wait can be annoying, yes
minor shadow
Just don't pull a Hide or Die. They were releasing and a month or two before release, decided to completely change the whole game.
full sundial
still worth it imo though
Yeah, if you don't trust the devs to do well with the game, don't buy yet, but I trust them, and I have already got my $32 worth
minor shadow
I stuck around for a while but it wasn't what I had kickstarted and it was really sad to watch
jolly kernel
we enjoyed the game but it just feels bad spending 30-40 on something and having it sit in my library I wanna play this as a main game but I recomend if you don't own it yet dont buy it, but stay tuned in here while they develope it, I trust the team will make this game amazing it just needs more time this game has a lot of potential
full sundial
I play it as a main game because I love it, challenge myself with new things, find new people to play with, attempt to solo expeditions, might even try speed running with a group later on
karmic canyon
I've put 180 hours into it, so I would say I am getting what I paid for, but I really want other friends to get it as well, and I just cant sell it as is.
jolly kernel
^
full sundial
Yeah, it isn't for everyone
minor shadow
Yeah I wish I had the time to dump into this game like that. But I've got 5 different essay papers, a creative project, and and in-class presentation all due by next Friday. So I'm just having a blaaaast.
full sundial
They don't trust the devs yet, which is fair, since they haven't finished yet, it is a work in progress
lilac fulcrum
and that's entirely fine to wait, it really is. the devs know that.
full sundial
that's what early access is
karmic canyon
Cujo, if you don't sleep you can do all those things, its easy bro.
lilac fulcrum
Early Access is about supporting the devs while they build out the features to make it a 1.0 game. they have a lot of stuff planned. I've talked to them and I'm excited for what is coming.
minor shadow
@karmic canyon Lmao, believe me I've passed through tired and into the misty area of "what hour is it now?"
karmic canyon
I don't mind the lack of levels, I figured we would get them around this time when I bought it, I am hopeful we will get them within a month. I just worry about this Overtone thing killing off an already struggling community, the longer it takes to find a match, the less likely people are to keep playing.
We will just have to see how it goes.
jolly kernel
I still have high hopes for the game in the future, its just in the current state I would save the money and wait for the game to be more fleshed out is all, we expected the rundown to last maybe a month but going one 3 now is kinda tough to recomend people to play personally
karmic canyon
Idk, on the rundown thing, I expect the future ones to take less time, theres a lot of teething right now with bugs and such.
full sundial
Yeah, understandable, but if you buy it now, it is cheaper than it will be at release
and if they wait to buy, they won't be able to play the first rundown
lilac fulcrum
There's 175,000 users in this server, only 400 in the Overtone community, more on reddit, more on steam. So the community already has some split, but Overtone isn't going to be a come in overnight and kill the community.
full sundial
Yeah, most of the dev work later on will be just bugs and new rundowns unlike how it is in early access.
karmic canyon
Final question, is there a quicker way to report mic spammers
full sundial
Messaging Mod Contact is the only way I know of, and it works quite well, but if you want faster, just mute them then report them
muting them stops them from annoying you and reporting them stops them from annoying others
karmic canyon
Well it used to be you mute them and they move on, now they just jump in and out of your channel when you are trying to get players in
full sundial
Then mute them, then report them
full sundial
Yeah, they made one for themselves with the mod contact bot lol
since discord doesn't have one built in
But the management is supposed to be done by the people in the server, not by discord, discord just takes care of the extremes
thorny canyon
Is D1 how they plan to handle the game? I loved everything up to that point, but that twist was really weird. They didnt build up to it at all, that seems really out of place.
full sundial
How else would you have liked it to he done? I thought it was fine, same with the enemies in C2
fleet peak
a better way would be to put an easy security door right at start with the invis enemys. that way the game can ease you into them like the previous enemys without guarenteed ending the run of unsuspecting people
shell galleon
I don't really understand where the "divide the community" mentality is coming from. A small handful were upset about the idea & then it just snowballed into something else entirely. As players & avid discord users, the idea of using another program is a minor inconvenience at best initially. As developers, it'd be silly to not try to branch out with new companies & technology. It's how new innovations come to light, by trying something different.
Worst case, most people don't utilize the service & the devs move on in a few months time. Best case, people try it, like it, & we keep bonkin' the days away happily.
Either way, GTFO is an amazing game that is backed by thousands of great people, created by a pretty dang rad group of devs & I think ultimately giving Overtone a shot can't hurt.
@lilac fulcrum I haven't had a chance to try Overtone yet personally, as I'm in the process of moving & just now unpacking, but what's your honest first impressions of it so far? I know you stated a lot of it's features the other day when you pinged me, but how does it feel comparatively in your eyes?
lilac fulcrum

@shell galleon - I like the app. There are less people on it, but that's like with any community you try and start, it takes time to grow something. I've met the CEO of Overtone and he very much cares about the user experience and listens to everyones feedback. I've been working with him on ways to improve the application and he's taking all of it to heart and plans on implementing much of the stuff I've brought up. It has really good voice quality, you can go to a team or to the dashboard and see what parties are open and how many people are needed so you can just jump in, party leader clicks start game, then it launches for everyone.
The audio is provided by Vivox which is also owned by Unity (same with Overtone) and the audio technology allows you to have thousands of people in the same voice channel. So if you wanted you can invite a lot of people to listen to a talkshow or podcast or interview or listen as they are gaming, and the party lead can set the entire VC to be auto muted except for those who need to talk.
tribal ether
same
lilac fulcrum
you don't need to switch, just use each one for their best features
a lot more features are coming to Overtone, and GTFO has a lot of stuff planned for the future to make the player have the best experience.
tribal ether
I still don't entirely get what Overtone is, since I'm the big dumb
I get it's a place you can speak with others, and that's about it
sturdy dew
seems like overtone will be good for voice chatting and discord will be better for just talking with the community in text

In the Rundown #0002 Roadmap, it mentions that they're "implementing new warden objective logic". What exactly does this mean?

It will be a set amount of time in the future
There will be a timer at the top of the rundown screen
Atleast has we know so far
unkempt ridge
In the Rundown #0002 Roadmap, it mentions that they're "implementing new warden objective logic". What exactly does this mean?
@grand saddle for the rundown 1, all the objectives lead to the high-end goal of shutting down the D1 reactor to gain an access. I think this is the same idea here, the warden wants a final objective and they're implementing the path logic to arrive at this goal
maybe I'm wrong though

Is there a good way to kill a Big Shooter as 2 people while still remaining in stealth?

should i just sneak past them?

You should usually sneak past big guys.
oblique oar
unless it is in an alarm room
nothing beats getting 2 of them in the first room on b1, right on the platform
onyx mural
just make sure that what ever you skip isn't going to get pulled in future rooms.
thick briar
Uh I haven't verified it but a charged hit to the back of the head and a charged hit to the back should kill a big striker, and i imagine it would also work on big shooters too
sturdy dew
you need at least 4 to one hit them
full sundial
You need at least 3 to kill the big strikers
sturdy dew
do you only need 3
full sundial
Big shooters have the most health in the game, even with 4 people it can sometimes be a difficult stealth kill
Yeah, for big strikers only 3
One on back of the head, other two on spine/back
sturdy dew
right
if theres ever 2 big strikers near eachother and there is nothing else in the room and everyone has pump shotguns you can kill them in one hit
just fyi
thick briar
You can kill solo kill a big striker with a mine and a charged gavel to the back of the head, got a clip of that somewhere
full sundial
Yeah, pump shotgun to the back of the head
Well that is a bug, Sage
So don't count that
Or well the stealth part is
But no one would waste a mine when they could just shoot the big dude
thick briar
the mine is the only stealth-voiding part of it, but mine damage isn't that high i don't think
it was more a proof of concept kinda thing
I imagine if you have two people hit it in the back of the head (back of the head, then the hitbox where the head was), it should be fatal, but I haven't tried it so I can't say definitively
full sundial
Yeah, just don't rely on the mine now waking everything up, probably a fixed bug in 002
sturdy dew
two people cant hit a head with a full charge
thick briar
the hitbox persists after head comes off
sturdy dew
for how long though?
full sundial
The hit box is still there after it is blown off
thick briar
indefinitely

oh well yeah once they die it's gone lol

even to guns?

thick briar
giant heads are pretty easy to hit
sturdy dew
i cant see any posts from him
ugh i bet his name has numbers in it
has it been tested without c foam?
thick briar
I can personally guarantee you that you can shoot the head hitbox after decapitation
sturdy dew
without c foam though?
thick briar
yeah without foam
I always aim for the head whether it's there or not
I have a clip somewhere in the media channel as a proof of concept that guns deal more damage from behind, where I shot a scout in the back of the head with a revolver and instakilled it
sturdy dew
yeah the back of the head does more damage
tribal ether
Blow the cap on that bitch
sturdy dew
the only thing im sceptical about is the heads hitbox persisting after its been destroyed
and when the enemy is not in c foam
thick briar
go try it rn
*if u can
honestly i probably put up a clip showing that off in the media channel
sturdy dew
i dont think its the head
i think youre hitting the spinal cord
and the hitbox is just bigger than it appears
thick briar
yeah i don't have a good clip of it, I probs put it in the regular media channel
oops
sturdy dew
there definately is something still there after the head is destroyed however i dont think its the entire head hitbox
sturdy dew
well i cant be bothered to test it more
full sundial
The c foam wouldn't change anything, just makes it easier to hit it multiple times, but good luck testing it without c foam
full sundial
Mhm, I use machine gun tho, so I hit the head till gone then shoot the chest unless I am close up
full sundial
Obviously not that close lmao
Just close enough to make hitting the invisible head hitbox easier

sometimes id end it sometimes id kill myself with a mine

lmao
pliant shore
There is a few things I would recommend. Like, the kick on getting hit is immense.
For guns:
- I thing the special machine gun needs is a bit more ammo reserves.
- Hoping for more gun types (Randomly like a wrist-type submachine gun like something cool like that.)
Melee weapons:
- The hammers is roughly all the same, wondering if there will be different kinds of weapons.
- Like an axe or a sword, I don't know.
Characters:
- Hoping we will later get to customize our prisoner's look.
- Changing what we have equipped or what kind of bag we have on.
(I know this one is probably more work then needed. Just curious. Wanting a "Sneak Suit" wearing dude cause sneaky game)
I apologize if this is the wrong place, but I didn't know anywhere else.

Will we also be able to ask the devs about how R1's scout spawns work?
I'd love to know the probability of some scouts appearing in different zones.
thick briar
seems like x scout spawns in a map and each scout has x areas it can spawn in
minor fractal
That's verifiably false.
B2, for example, can have 1 scout or 3 scouts.
As far as we know, it can have 6 scouts in total with really lucky RNG.
thick briar
is that 1 scout in the map or just 1 scout in the route you need to take to finish the stage tho
minor fractal
1 scout in the map, we were doing a full clear.
minor fractal
B1 can also have 2 or 3 scouts.
Yah, the 17 scout seems to be guaranteed. Never seen it not spawn.
thick briar
Yeah b1 has the two guaranteed scouts in 41/42 I believe
then I've seen one in 45 but who ever even goes to 45
minor fractal
The 45 scout is an occasional spawn, not guaranteed.
thick briar
Ah aight

The alarm isn't actually that hard, ngl. I'd rather that than giants sometimes.
