there were no lunars anyways
okay here's the problem though
Too fast?
touching any surface launches me in the air
Yup lmao
dont touch any surfaces
and then fall damage is applied
simple
SOUP ISLAND
I thought he also had Blue Items
he didnt
looool
Go to soup island and have a soup spree
eat the soup
w and than jump
Soup time
this is a challenge
you need to make some goat soup
this is gonna take a while
A ton of disks that are sadly quite useless in the fight
he'll be fine. But then imagine brovidence
Unless it relies on damage?
RAPID tired walking
I wonder if last boss feels the effects of the goat hooves
you still have the band effect?
It shoooullldnt be a big issue on Brovidence because don’t you get the whole stack once you get an item back?
So just be really freaking careful once that phase starts
in his final phase he walks around, but its realy, really, slow.
pray he doesn't charge that disc
but he'll have 800 hooves
What if he falls off the map?
this is slow going
oh my god
oh... oh no...
oh god no
Keep 300 hooves
yeah
You got behemoth. Yeet.
This is important for research
lol the boss with that many scythes.
just pray it doesnt crit
but you only have 6% crit? 
Ill see how much control 300 leaves me with
F
It’s the only green here
if you grab alot of behemoths you'll eventually explode the whole moon without the detonation sequence lol
Doesn’t Iri Pearl give you crit chance
i wanna see mach 3 mithrix
So technically he has 100% if it does
oh
oh god
TRUE
100% crit mithrix moving at hyperspeed who nearly gets a full heal everything he hits something
Ah
Grab MORE behemoths. what you got to lose 😄
Lol
scythes ? get bigger splosions
you could lose your computer
Wait how long would 440 stealth packs keep you invisible for
literally drop nukes on him
I don’t have a reference on me
...uhh i dunno
oh god
I'd rather play stage five 100 times than play the final stage 10 times. Anyone else agree?
a lot.
Also I’d like to point out, I activated stealth kit when I first used the shrine
They have not de-activated yet
It’s like 4
Seconds plus 2 per stack?
wait if the boss gets all those stealth packs.
So 884 seconds
lmfao
oh my shit xDDD
3s (+1.5s per stack)
double rebar is pretty good
300 hooves is still too many. I still fly
660 ?
657 seconds
seconds 😄 ?
So about 10 minutes and 57 seconds
well.. 1 x 440 + 0.5 * 440.
Which is bonkers
double scrap launcher is good too, you get more burst damage but less range
scrap scales bad
If you go invis once he cannot attack you
u will run out of ammo
question. do people really play with Powersaw ?
I mean u dont get more ammo even when u have high attack speed
really?
Yup
isn't it kinda... scary late game ?
Powersaw is my favorite meme
It’s an “on hit” GOD
haven't even unlocked it
Dangerous so you need to be aware of your situation
don't play mul-t a lot
powersaw is god tier but you have to be willing to do risk for reward
Yup
imagine actually trying to tickle Mithrix with it
Does anyone have a good source of info on Eclipse mode? I can't find anything on the wiki
Didn’t go well
the update isn't out for long. lol. Give people time to write :d
Got fairly far tho
Boom
NOW GO
now do the boss
Promising
I wanna see Mach 6 Brovidence
i'd go for 10 behemoths doe
is it possible to beat the boss with mul t
It’s possible with any character lol
doest he suck
Gotta regen first
all of ur items
I think brovidence won't even see him coming
Ok have fun waiting a few years
the last phase gonna be monkas
lmao, it won't be too long
doesn't pearl increase regen?
Oh yeah
just land a few random crits and heal to full instantly 👀
man's gotta be wondering why is the wind killing him
lmao
just hope mithrix doesn't crit
entering the white circle triggers the fight right?
Last phase shouldn’t be that bad because you get the whole stack back
third phase is gonna be hysterical
@muted spade pearls increase crit
Yes it does
...oh god
oh don't forget I also have an obscene number of drones
Please tell me you can video it
does this server allow for streaming?
i so wanna see that
yes
Aight what channel
good luck getting your hooves back when he zooms across the entire arena within seconds and just heals all his hp back from 1 hit
this server does not allow streaming
F
well f
fuck
saiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Aight just tell us how it goes lol
let me try and open OBS for a shitty stream
That's not something we have direct control over sadly. Sorry babes 😦
dang
You have lost frog privellages Sai
okay im starting up a stream
yay
yay
yay
this is gonna be interesting
I'll be in VC 46 for anyone who wants to talk lol
it might actually be kinda scary ngl
wait are you talking ?
okay here we
https://youtu.be/8OSaW3ewtlE
go
let's go
it will not go well it will def go poorly
lets see how fast he dies
this is gonna take a while
probably
guess we will be here for a couple hours
it wont be exciting but its funny
yeah
this will take a long time
probably

victory?
yea
rainstorm
nice.
is engie laser turret good now
eh idk but ill still take it over normal turrets
the range is meh last time
yeah
how yall doing :)
good
welp commando can just fly with 2 Purities 
shaved 2 minutes off my time but not recording and bad start, but with 2 purities you can just fly across the moon and back
so the mastery skin for captain is just part 4 and 5captain
basically captain is a jojo reference
mhm
yeah
Best greens for engi?
like any other character
yeah
oh so he builds crit aight
almost everyone build crits haha
So, i just found something out about Captain and the sunglasses
yeah?
He puts them on his hat
also forgot to add that laser turret with visions of heresy wont change the ai
so they will always only engage in laser range
@opal plaza nice
and seem to be rather passive
I would show but I cant put a spoiler tag on mobile unfortunately
just post it lol
i wish i can use the taser for something
the 3 different supply drops I have unlocked for him seem pretty underwhelming
but its so trash you're stuck with spamming air strike and shotgun
but his shift and auto are good
yea
I'm mostly happy at his accuracy
double heal supply is what I use, but it does nothing for last boss, can't stay still
it will just end up being a immobile attacker instead of a support type
the tazer does help with the golem chimeras during the final fight
getting overloading on Cap'n makes fun sounds
not the flying ones though because their hitbox is too tiny
not even with ice spear?
lunar chimera wisps is the name I think. I fear their attacks more than golems
Anyone know any good captain builds
golems have yet to prove challenging
They do launch you really far
@radiant horizon the same build you go for with others
cap's auto procs a lot, take anything the has a chance to happen on hit
i dont have a build
I got 8 sticky bombs with one shot a lot
or go for bleed
yep
it's pretty broken rn
Both are really tanky
at least guards doesnt have a minigun and a nuke
yeah
Yeah
The flying guys are the biggest pain in the world
Wait, can they be turned into a ghost using the mask?
probably
Beetle guard isn't so great late game
Does wonders early, but late he just gets one tapped
Does anyone else find using melee against new boss impossible
yeah
Its lkme how am i supporsed to beat him as someone like loader. It seems like something the devs shouldve thoughtve with several melee characters being in the game.
Glass artifact, shaped glass, and one-punch him before he can steal your items
I guess
I LOVE mul t now
I beat him the first time through on monsoon with commando so quickly I didn't realize his final phase was meant to be challenging, and I got to him a few mins ago on my second monsoon run with Captain and like... I got donked after well over an hour long run and I was kinda disappointed
Wasn't even possible to hurt him
Mithrix is really easy unless you get hit.
I was running with friends and we had several 57 leaf clovers, plus a loooot of Tougher Times, so he just didn't take damage at all
Ok that applies to everything but you get the idea
The later into a run you wait the harder he will be in phase 4
I actually didn’t find phase 4 all that challenging
It really depends on your build.
Maybe because I was cooping with a rex but
It's very possible to screw your own run because of your power
anyhow this update got me into mul t and he might be my new fave
Double rebar is awesome, but now nail gun + rebar actually combos really well
If you have a few stacks of predatory instincts, it’s so good
You use nail gun to proc attack speed to the max, switch to rebar and shoot even faster than with double rebar
I just unlocked power saw, and tomorrow I’ll explore how to use it with either one
I think it might be good with rebar/crap launcher
have you tried the double rebar glitch?
i really fucking despise the final boss
its all rng and i hate it
12 stacks of bleed from an attack and i couldnt even hide from the attack
@tired axle yes I have tried it it’s soooo good
not a glitch I don’t think, I thought it was intended
ive come to the conclusion that laser turret sucks
Oh yeah did y’all notice acrids primary attack glitch wasn’t removed
giving it mobility doesnt help its shitty ai and short range
they stared at a guardian for like 10 sec without doing anything
Yeah it’s weird i don’t FUCK with engi
the stationary one is fine
i was playing with a friends
a friend*
he died, i finished the final teleporter mission but it looped instead of taking us to the final boss
anybody know why¿
you can change tp destination
by interacting with a little thingy on the rim
@gritty bluff
when you arrive to whatever the heck the 6th map is called it'll say something something "teleporter aligned with moon" but if you interact with the rim of the teleporter it'll say "teleporter aligned with planet"
ah i fucked it up then
Yeah when the rims are all lined up into 2 prongs mimicking a regular tp it lets u loop
it always is
7h insane
39 resonate disks tho
also 102 goat hooves?
is there a speed cap or did you just nyoom
@rapid marsh hey, like that he can't still any good item :)
Imagine fighting 2 final bosses at the same time, as merc
finally fucking did it
quick question, has anyone else had issue unlocking the wonderlust achievement? I went to plains, wetland, acres, abyssal, bazaar, sky meadow, distant roost, aqueduct, rallypoint, and a moment fractured in a single run and was not given the achivement
so is cap'n
according to one other user, as in I'm not sure this is legit, bazaar doesn't count
ah i see, alright ty
do keep in mind you can leave a moment fractured to get an additional realm if that one doesn't finish it out for you
You gonna have to loop around, find newt altars so you can choose which maps you go to to be sure you get the new ones
You can do void fields n such
yeah i know, i was using newts to get to the places i needed to, and i was keeping track of each environment
that should have been 10 so i was confused why it wasnt counting
my strat was Bazaar asap, go to void fields. Loop, and use bazaar to dream. Go to moment fractured, leave. Gold place is optional. After Sky Meadow, go artifact room
just, every fucking opportunity you get for an extra realm
sure, for Captain that's poopoo, but I think that was the point of the achievement
was to drive you to take risky plays
I never went through the celestial or golden portal, you can get it without em
makes sense, i went to bazaar after sky meadow to ensure distant roost knowing i had titanic plains in the beginning
IF you just dream fro all the other places
You CAN go without them, yes, it's just easier than trying to find a newt altar every stage
i just want to know which one from the ones i listed doesnt count, because from my understanding, it should have been 10 unique environments
Also Captain's alt abilities are kinda meh imo. I just wanted to complete steam achievements. X)
Hack is actually fucking incredible
Having the ability to unlock a chest per map, it's like, ehhhhhhh
I can only see it useful for the golden chest
But why do gold chest if you can kill super robo ball boss. x)
red chest is whatever
use it on chance shrines to guarantee 2 items, use it just to get shit done faster
the power of hack is that it doesn't take your money (duh) so you don't have to waste time camping for money just for the process to complete
it allows Captain to blitz and get more items than ANY other survivor
that is power that can't be underestimated
Ehhhhhh
It's certainly better power than the big busting fungus that he has as a default
I just use 2 healing beacons x)
i just finished a monsoon captain run im so tired
I'm more of a sacrifice/swarms player anyways
well in that case then yeah, go double healing and use the beacons to nuke bosses, lmao
Hate dealing with Magma Worms with Capt'n 
Especially if they're non-bosses on Stage 4, 5
im so bad at captain
if you dont know what it does,
It makes you unlucky but all your skill cooldowns are reduced by 2 seconds
im asumeing being "unlucky" is the same as 57 leaf clover, but reversed
yeah, it's reversed 57 leaf
I'm sure there are cases where it's alright, like if you have 2 clovers or something
but not proccing items as frequently is a big gamble
you go from 10% ATG to 1% ATG.
hmmm
from 25% Ukelele to 7.5%
so pretty underwhelming
like, it's a big hit. And just like how clover is mathematically when you have lower percentages (as in, clover gives bigger bonuses the lower your chances), Purity is much less brutal at higher percentages. So... there are edge cases
like a 80% crit chance becomes 64%
given that items are a large portion of your damage in a run... probably not good
it might not be so bad on Acrid given that poison can carry you, but... even that's stretching it because Acrid can still hit 20 targets with 1 ability activation which means 20 chances for item procs
but can the down side be negated with a clover?
yes
Clover actually has massively diminishing returns as an item too. If I had 2 clovers I'd take purity in a heartbeat. BUT, that's... really rare
I could see it being strong on characters that have short cooldowns that don't really benefit from alien head (Rex's M2 and Artificer's M1 come to mind) but making crit less reliable is a bit of a gamble on whether it's worth or not
so purity's anti-luck is wholly negated by 1 clover's luck
like, clover is good because it makes all of your damage items goo. Purity is bad because it makes all of you damage items bad
yes, because they both affect your "luck" stat
can't make your damage items bad if you were cursed with no damage items
Cover is just +1 Luck. Purity is -1 luck
modern problems, modern solutions
I like using it on artificer
Exactly why it's situational
and uh, faman does have a point, though it's a risk because you might get damage items later that could have been good
i'd say take it until you get a ton of on-hits, then cleanse it if possible
that or acquire so many items that anti-luck can't affect you
relying on cleansing pools is also a massive gamble, lmao
because i was thinking it would go something like this.
you have a 60% chance to crit and it doesent crit, the clover rerolls that and then it crits but purity see's that it crit and rerolls it so it doesent crit?
i.e, 100% bleed and 100% crit
idk if its like that
with enough purity you can make Merc invincible :^)
Like, for a short run, I could see it being not totally destructive
I think at that point its just there is no reroll because your luck is at zero
I think the way it works is like clover: it rolls twice, but instead of picking the high roll likeclover, it picksthe low roll
how does happiest mask interact with forgive me please
giving it to mythrix also ensures he won't kill you out of the blue with some powerful proc
Great question
no, your luck starts at 0. You always get at least 1 roll. Just... if you seriously take 10 purities to lower the cd that much
do you even need that many purities to become immortal as merc?
you're talking rolling 11 times to see if you get the bad result
And what if i want the bad result
cough
WHICH would turn your Ukulele into a 2% chance, lmfao
No idea faman
what I want to know is whether or not Purity's flat CDR applies before or after percentage CDRs
Honest to god the only characters i really justify myself taking purity on are artificer/acrid
take it on Commando and use phase round for a truly "I hate myself" run
Introduction of spleen alongside negative luck makes dot builds a lot safer too
Esp on acrid
Yeah, I can see some of the potential on blight Acrid, since you finally have a CD that would make it where you only need 30 or so Backup mags to compete with 1 poison hit
I'm still mad Blight is so bad
I like it honestly
if you tripled it's damage it'd probably still be bad
I recognize its dot potential is dwarfed by base but its usage as a crowd clearer is just
Chefs kiss
Shoot an epidemic into a swarm of wisps and they will be gone
what if blight got the bleed treatment
That would be nice
If blight got the bleed treatment it's be significantly better, I still wouldn't say good
Because that example above, that's the best blight can hope for, when enemies haven't scaled
It'd certainly make blight less of a complete joke compared to bleed
because then it'd be useful for taking funny screenshots of 200 blight stacks when smoeone shrine of ordered into 90 backup mags and a purity
Lmao
I think blight should get a bit of a damage buff but primarily i think it should last longer just bc of ability to kill
Or like, blight epidemic should spread farther
It needs something huge, honestly
Stacking dots should get the bleed treatment across the board
like, triple it's damage and give it bleed treatment and it might be alright. Maybe make it last long enough so you can stack with epidemic, idfk
Or at the very least get duration buffs to make actually stacking feasible
Fire can stay the way it is
Honestly, if something could be done to make it not just bleed hurrdurr but still be a viable comparison to poison I would SO be down
I like Acrid despite his lanky little ass sucking nuts, I would not mind his alternative passive being fun for viable alternate options in builds
poison could be a 'lazy' dot and blight could be a 'build-around' dot
at the very LEAST they could have the respect to have blight match Poison's minimum of 100% base damage
then it could actually kill lemurians stage 1
Clover Stacking + Tougher Times stacking
Is insane
I once shrine of ordered into all clovers and tougher times
Literally couldn’t die
Clover doesn't affect Tougher Times
Really?
but, getting a fuck ton of Tougher Times is rather cash money
I guess I just got hard carried by the TT stack then
Question how do you pick up the red item of captain to get the log? I can't find it in command
play with vengeance artifacts
afk 10minutes and kill your shadow
(don't take any item)
Has anyone else completed an itemless run?
I tried in drizzle to fool around and to see if it was doable, and it seems it can be, at least with loader
dont think so
Lord I hate the horde of many
there’s a video of a guy beating ror1 on monsoon as merc with no items or drones
It feels like the only times I die is at the very beginning or at the hands of the horde of many
wonder if that’s possible in this game
also
i think instead of saying you got killed by the planet when you win, it should just say like “game clear”
kind of weird that it still says that
or it can be like gungeon and say "nobody you did great"
god im so frustrated by this game
every run is relatively fine but no matter how well i do i still get one shotted at the final boss
doing no damage prismatic trial was way easier than this bs
i dont fucking get it
sometimes it seems you need to have hardlight just to win as commando
or a bunch of mobility for that matter
Above all you need to hurry up. Makes it infinitely easier. That and dodge above all
Or cheese it
Yo... am I crazy, or has Lens Maker's Glasses always been unaffected by proc coefficient?
Or is that new
Lovely... parents are immune to captain's stun.
they're big
Why do those assholes even teleport, they're tanky enough to survive walking.
Crit is separate from on hit effects. For better and for worse
who knows tbh
Does that mean it's unaffected by 57-Leaf Clovers?
It is affected by clovers and purity.
It does affect critical chance
If you don't get a crit, clover will roll the chance for you again.
I meant that proc coefficient does not affect critical strike. Proc coefficient affects only on hit
I don't know why people hate the meteor equipment so much
It's one of the few that allows friendly fire.
This guy seemed really bad at the game and some how died to it.
I noticed the new claypot isn't very popular as well.
Not like you'll ever be able to use that yellow scrap... but people blend it anyway.
He didn't even take my advice which was to dodge it
It can be hard to dodge sometimes. I just furiously run around and let it do it's magic. I also play engineer a lot, so it's not like the killing stops because I'm focused on meteor dancing.
he said he kept on running into it.
how does vulcan shotgun work with proc? does each pellet have 0.75
Yep. It's beautiful.
and if one crits they all crit?
Game discussion 1 has become insufferable since patch...
yeah. the trick is here
Yeah. This chat isn't scrolling faster than a teen on tic-toc and isn't full of trash.
People hate meteor because not all survivors and all builds can dodge that easily
And it also procs annoying and potentially deadly effects aside from the damage itself
Does meteor even hit flying units?
No, it creates ground explosions at the "impact" points.
Meteors with chronobaubles is super annoying and can easily be deadly. Just... ask the others if they are fine with you grabbing a meteor
The animation is purely cosmetic.
I never actually used it. I picked it up and put it back down immediately.
Or do it to fuck with friends
But other than that, it's a dick move to grab one. And you can't accidentally work over it and grab it, you have to press E
I wish you could make that a setting for specific items. I would really like to stop accidentally picking up Waxing Quails.
Same
When you're soloing it's a bit more acceptable to use meteor and gesture.
That sounds like it would be fun
I remember a couple of times personal shield generators ruined everything
Though now at least we have the scrapper
You could also just be a regular human being and not take meteor. :derp: I'm not actually dissin
Does it even give anything? Or just for scrapping?
And yes when you're soloing you can play however you want
I actually do grab a meteor on purpose in some cases
i cant believe mercenary was stuck in the sewer for so long
I have other things to cheese with gesture... like gorag or tonic.
Like trying to do a fast run, I'll try to get one and get to siren's calls. To spawn the alloy worship unit easily
Missle launcher is a great way to just ruin the game with gestures.
In fact I think all of my monsoon complete game runs have had a meteor
I mean when going for the final boss. The meteor saved me a lot of time, and it can get you a bit of gold while you focus on scouting quickly and going for the teleporter
It has its uses like every item
Yeah but why use meteor when you could also just not and have a slightly longer fight.
And live a slightly longer life.
Because sometimes you want precisely to hurry up
Because you want everything to explode!
somehow he was able to sustain himself in the sewer for the entire events of the first game and only then we were able to recover him in the second game. The sewer was actually the birth place of Acrid who raised his children within the vacant sewers of the planet in RoR1. The mercenary at this point in the timeline had gone mad, and this is before you restore his mind in the second game. This is the reason he made the decision to devour Acrids, a decision only fueled by the cracked remains of the mercs shattered mind.
Or sometimes you just want to fuck around flying and swinging around the map with loader
While meteors fall over the place
The sewer can be accessed in the second game however its extremely rare to find the portal as its only a 0.008% chance of spawning in "A Moment Fractured" but its currently an unfinished stage for easter egg purposes.
The sewer is also filled with the goo found in the mired urn which has been said to turn anything it touches into a mindless sewer beetle.
seems legit
what is bait?
The sewer created by the survivor of RoR1, after the events of the game the survivor sought out to industrialize new planets via sewer systems, as without a working sewer system the planet cant be properly transformed into a civilized transit point. The events of RoR2 are the moments before the sewer was created as the planet had to be completely wiped of all hostile entities to have an inhabitable planet. After the moon is teleported they return to the planet and begin the construction of the new sewer system mirroring that of the decayed sewer on RoR1's planet.
uhhhhh same planet?! what's going on there, buddy?
@shut jewel i hope that makes sense and you understand the lore now! 😄
This is wrong because ror2 is actually a prequel of the dream of the miner
was the miner's dream to dig a sewer?
mfw captain isnt completely immue to projectiles
The miners true dream was to create a sewer spanning the entire solar system, however he settled for creating sewers on the planet.
Does anyone think that loader feels different this patch?
@craggy lynx Ive heard loader mains complain the shift is different
I dont know jack about loader though
I think it's a similar problem with Mercenary's shift
I think loader has been nerfed however in the sewer she has been buffed immensly, hence the name "Loader"
they have hit-stop now
Yeah i heard it weird but i wasn't really refering to that more like she feels more powerful
its not good for them
i guess cause of the sprint change or something
the sewer change really took effect this update
oh idk, maybe, haven't played loader in a long time actually
you told me the full sewer update was going to be a post launch update, right? @weary saddle
i didnt either since she had a very Hit and Run play style but idk the HIT part feels a lot more HITTY than i remembered it to be
No yeah they are definitely planning on adding more to the sewer, there's talks of a new boss whose entire body clogs the planet sewer system, after you fight the final boss you will be sent down to the sewer to dispatch the beast within the sewer, there are also talks of special sewer chests contain sewer themed items, such as a plunger, toilet paper, scrub brush, etc. its looking and shaping up to be a great update overall!
like uhh what rarities would these sewer items be? and any sewer equipment? you need to be more clear with your descriptions
They would be contained within their own item category unique to the sewer as only sewer items would be found within the sewer dimension, the color of the item category will be green (like a sewer) and the items will be on par with legendary items in power. There are downsides to sewer items however, when you pick one up there is a chance for your character to expel his or her bowels lowering your speed for 30s.
@craggy lynx > Does anyone think that loader feels different this patch?
The way runald's and kjaro's bands work now is very different
so in loader's case, that means the shift ends up working very differently. It's actually much more controllable now
whats all this talk about a sewer?
Now you can deal massive damage every 10 seconds if you use the loader right and you have the bands. Massive even by loader standards
There is actually a sewer band (similar to Kjaros band) being added this update which gives you all the unique powers of the sewer at the expense of your characters bowels.
unique powers of the sewer
what sort of powers does the sewer even hold?
They haven't elaborated on all of the powers that the sewer will contain, however it is possible the sewer will contain the power of the void reavers, there will be an immense amount of this enemy type as they originate from the sewer and will do anything to protect it.
The great mighty poo from conker's bad fur day?
is it wrong to say that the alternate abilities are considered the better ones for each character? it seems that way so far. except maybe the exception of Loader where there's an obvious tradeoff of single target vs aoe damage with the charge punch.
is it known that merc expose passive is broken? posted in #ror2-bug-reports-pc
Not necessarily. Some are not better in every situation
That loader example being perhaps the most common one. Another one would be artificer's nanobomb post 1.0
idk, im not a fan of the new nano-bomb with gravity
makes it much harder to use imo
Finally a decent AoE though.
but maybe im just a smoothbrain and straight line go brrrrr
I think they wanted you to use it in the air... dunno why it's the default instead of the alt in that case.
And goddamn she needs an alt utility that goes with the other ion abilities.
I don't use the artificer much so I can't say much
Well, and a better M1, but that's a whole different thing.
But I guess it's mostly getting used to the new behaviour. And now it has more range too
Probably the only character where I take visions of heresy regardless of the situation.
Straight upgrade.
yeah, going in melee range gets more and more risky as you go more and more stages
i haven't played many games like risk of rain, so im not sure what to expect in the future.
is the game basically done getting new stuff besides new survivors over time
Acrid the (now second) highest damage M1 in the game, and now it heals him.
how soon can hermit crabs show up with artifact of dissonance? trying to farm them for the run 20 off the edge challenge
He also has the highest base health, damage, and regen of all survivors.
The snag with his M1 is the risk it exposes you too... which is somewhat corrected now he can proc regen.
(Don't try to melee mirthix though)
going melee in like loop 6 or something is very risky though, so you may want a visions of heresy soon
especially when blazing trails start bringing you down to like 3 hp before a clay templar finishes you off
does attack speed matter for engineer's moving turrets?
yes
any engineer players? what turret is better mobile or stationary?
sewer go brrrrrrr
This was probably one of my best runs to date
I think I need to start playing on rainstorm
Captain loses connection in hidden realms... For strides?..
Just lost a 40 min run after getting the soulbound catalyst + gift of the drowned + forgive me please combo
didn't they hotfix that?
I think it straight up broke because it just completely stopped activating it
I was told that the hotfix was that they limited there to be 3 FGP dolls out at a time or smth
But it straight up wasnt activating at all
did you try manually activating it
Of course
huh. then i got no idea what could've happened
I had gift of the drowned and forgive me please for the majority of the run and it worked fine
Even used the resupply beacon with it
But once I got soulbound catalyst it just stopped working lol
So yeah went into mithrix with no equipment and mostly on kill items and got murdered
Unfortunate
did you win
says planet, not killed by mithrix, so 'win' enough in any case
Hey guys, really want a TooManyFriends Mod for 1.0 (16 player mod, older version on Thunderstore doesn't seem to work anymore). Is there any mod of this kind working for the full version of the game?

@cursive apex have you checked thunderstore?
yes, the too many friends mod is the only one of this kind in it, apparently. And it doesn't seem to work anymore
obliterated after many levels
thats a win to me, congrats on a cool run dude
ty
also @cursive apex i think a lot of people were expecting toomanyfriends to be implemented in the 1.0 patch with the introduction of a server browser, but keep an eye out in the coming week or so. im sure someone will do something about it.
yeah, they sure should
Does the captains hacking beacon increase the red chance or have I just been really lucky tonight?
youre really lucky
Neat
can we get an F for goku
😢
@dark helm I've been in lobbies for more than 4 players. If TooManyFriends isn't working, is there another mod that's being used? I'm just now trying to find something lol

@frozen vessel i'm.. unsure? lol. I think there's a way to make lobbies bigger that i'm not aware of, you'd have to ask around for the answer or search the right keywords.
alright, thanks lol
Well, this is my best Monsoon run so far, I didn't notice the stupid brass contraption
I still need to get so much better, but eh, better then nothing
Yea I’ve got killed from behind so many times
I mean really, I instant kill the boss then bonk, there goes my life
Lost my luckiest run that way 
I'm glad nobody is complaining about the Merc nerfs over here. I'm honestly relived he got tuned down a bit seeing as how I always see him in my single player games.
At least the nanobots destroy the projectiles
It took a little getting used to but he’s still fun to play
I've never been a meta person so I got no clue on what's good
He's a sword half the size of his lower member. He'll always be fun to play. Too bad he's just... less fun nowadays. In my humble opinion.
He seemed more fun to me
Blinding assault feels wonky
But I barely played him
But I’m loving the exposed mechanic
The worst aspect of the changes was the removal of his M1 racking up hits during his over moves.
Not as bad as I thought it would be
His flow just seems... off
I thought it was buffed?
Not sure but now it has gravity
Ah
I mainly used it to kill wisps
I haven’t played arti yet
I swear they are the most annoying enemy in the game
They are
Like you’re just walking around and they just start spawning
Its during fights that they are the worse, when its just them its fine
Three times
ok not too bad
Five times
wait wait no
Ten times
shit
This is how the majority of my monsoon runs start
It's mostly the fact I need perfect aim to kill them as Captain
Fought the boss with 3 players who each had an aegis. Never again.
That sounds like it hurts
I still got no clue what most of the red and lunar items do
Brilliant behemoth is fun as commando
Ah
Oh and there’s Defiant Gouge which I absolutely love
Basically whichever shrine you activate spawns monsters like a combat shrine
It’s so much easier to farm for the legendary chest now
Speaking of combat shrines, does the enemies just give more money?
More money the usual I mean
that was fun
I’m not sure
Ah nice
I haven’t unlocked anything on captain, Rex, or acrid tho ;-;
2 meathooks+clover is so awesome
Oooo I got that with a uke and brainstalks as loader
its like an auto black hole on everything
I just spammed R
Nice
Everyone else has probably said this, but Captain's m2 should be buffed
Yeah, I keep forgetting it's a thing
I think it’s fine as is
However it's nice keeping golems down
idk i find it useful, his m1 and orbitals do so much dmg already
It’s meant to be used as a utility not dps
can freeze enemies for your orbitals, use as an interrupt
but shotgun + stun grenade gets the job done
Also my god it's a horrible idea to go into the secret place in blue portals as Captain
I dont mind it, it's the lack of his mobility that's the worst part
He stands cool tho so
he looks like a jojo tbh
Yea
I think he is a reference
base skin is part 3 and mastery is part 4
Yeah
The mastery skin looks cool

this is what happends when i have to much time on my hands
WHY STOP AT THE PLANET
Completely invincible to projectiles
It’s such a good passive tho
They are
Also can I just say, I love captain but god are you better off if you pick another character unless you got friends
Or have insane aim
I unfortunately dont so I'm stuck on my own
hmm i got a primordial cube early on which synergizes really well with orbital
Ah nice
Cant wait for more skills for cap tho
cant wait for more skills in general
It would be cool if cap got a chargeable commando frag grenade
I imagine it as a grenade which gets faster and a shorter fuse time depending on charge
Yeah
I hope there will be more skins, I like the color swaps but more unique ones would be nice
i find his alternate beacons underwhelming though
nice at the early game pointless later on
if you get a preon at stage 1 you can cheese the bosses with resupply
can cheese them with m1 XD
hey fun fact about captain, the shock beacon permanently stuns enemies, so you can trap all of the enemies in it, and then no more monsters will spawn.
true that
not sure zyane
also true, except I never thought about the monster cap
the hacking one works on legendary chests and tc I believe
but from experience it takes longer depending on cost relative to a normal chest
I think so, but that wouldnt explain the lag at higher stages
i think it goes up by the stage
This game has been truly wonderful, and I'm glad to have done this 100% legit. Not done yet though, missing some logs still...

Had 15 clover between my wife and I on that last run...got Solus Control and Aurelionite that way, still missing the flying lunar chimera, final boss, and alloy worship unit. Then missing Meadows environment log due to the tower not spawning, and then three items, one of which being the larger pearl (the other two I just need to be deliberate about getting)
nice
meadows log took me forever it seemed like
finally found it on that spire once
wrong channel
Not asking a question, not trying to come up with a build, not talking about Prismatic Trials, not giving feedback, not a bug...seems pretty general to me
sorry accidentally posted something in here was supposed to be in game questions
oh, got it, all good then 
not the wisps
best captain run ive had was trying 2 get an item and instantly died
was on full hp, smh
wisps give me an anuerism
rip osp
wisps bypass osp right
The main problem with wisps is they're rarely alone, so if they stagger their shots they may as well officially bypass OSP
ive gotten killed by wisp the most
ive been killed by wisps 20 times
but ive killed 40,000 of them
weird wandering vagrant has killed me more than anything else, unexpected
Anyone notice that when you fully charge captain's m1 you have a single hitscan shot right at the center of the reticle?
wut
I've tested it out. Shot at a wisp way off in the distance. It's slight but it got hit by something before my other projectiles reached it. Maybe I'm tripping the fuck out but it seems to be the case
that’s super weird, i wonder why
Okay so I'm only slightly tripping out. Seems like his shots are sorta hitscan where they actually go faster than the actual bullets themselves travel on screen. I'll try and record a quick clip to show
It's subtle but look at the impact animations that the bullets make. If you look when I shoot the far wall, the animations play sooner than the bullets actually hit their target.
I found something secret ||I found a ghostly frog, anyone know about it, would it means?||
2 brothers chasing glass frogs
ohh
how do you feel
Good job
my shots were too fast and explosive but i loved it
Someone mentioned in #ror2-feedback-and-ideas about having the final boss fight working as a teleporter event, so Aurelionite would back you up
||But wouldn't that meant that you'd have to fight him in phase 4?
||
Oh dear god no, not the final boss as teleporter
||Mostly depends on your burst capability and when you actually picked up the golden boy. If he was your last major item he’ll be the first one you get back.||
He already instant kills, we dont need instant death randomly
Also Daisy
Yeah but that would mostly depend on the timings of the bursts
@_@ energy drink log
Hm? Something up with it?
NR-G Sports Soda “Reach new highs and dimensions”
It’s mostly that the entry suggests the energy drink has all sorts of drugs in it and the company denies it.
Where can I get it?
Methadone, phencyclidine, tetrahydrocannabinol, a variety of opiates, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, amphetamines... the list just goes on and on and on.
fear and loathing on petrichor V
Man I really do wish the logbook lore was filled out more. Some of the entries are just fantastic. I love the shatterspleen entry
Maybe its strong enough to finally push me to get me to finally get some art done
I was right in the middle of a f***ing reptile zoo, and somebody was giving booze to these goddamn things.
That’s pretty crazy.
Ok, so what do you guys thing, should I draw a Captain or Artificer version of my character?
Artificer
Hm, alright
void reavers have ruined a lot of my runs cause im blind
just curious for everyone in this thread, why do you main the characters you main?
I went commando
i main commando cause the idea of shooting 2 guns at the same time deepens my voice and grow hair on my sack. also cause he's not the best character in terms of effectiveness imo
I kinda kicked myself in the balls for using artifact of kin
I main engi and loader - loader cuz punch punch fun, but really i love swinging around the map in record time. i got a thing for physics-based swinging. Engi, meanwhile, cuz I like the game doing the work for me 🙂 I always go harpoons and spider mines so I have to think as little as possible.
Commando cuz i mained him in ror1, mercenary cuz he fun to hit and run
Commando's a solid pick for me 2. Simple playstyle can never go wrong 4 me.
I should do an infinite rockets merc run
I tended to run Engi and Acrid with some commando but I think I am mostly moving towards Captain and Acrid. Just need Cap’s secondary to be tuned up a bit.
I ran a lot of engi back in ror1
Cant really do that in ror2 cuz he kinda more geares to coop
What's considered a 'good score' come the end of a run
I use to main Artifcer but now captain is my main
Most of the other characters never really, appealed to me, Huntress was fun but didnt have the damage, Loader was fun but slow, Artifcer was what I chose because good damage and decent mobility
However Captain? His shotgun is far too fun to use
Like, it is literally everything I would have wanted, range to snipe wisps, good damage, his orbital strikes are good but his mobility is the worst in the game if I'm correct
tied for worst with engi
@pulsar loom score doesnt matter, its either 'you die' or 'you survive'
I know score doesn't really matter, i just wonder what sorta ungodly beeg numbers of points people have racked up
I got 5.8M on my most recent run
I could of gone into the 2hr mark but eh
Void reaver.
The amount of runs I lose to getting 0-1 movement items by 50+ minutes is crazy nowadays lol. I just wanna enjoy captain, but 1 whip is just not enough game haha
I used to main Merc, but now I play captain waay more. I still like merc, but captain is such a good time with a really good build.
Highest score i've seen someone get is 18m
I main huntress because I have anxiety and unstable hands that make it hard to aim.
tesla coil should never ever ever ever ever be given to enemies under any circumstances seriously
its so stupid unfair
Cell vent funny
cell vent not funny
But have you seen crowbar, lensmaker, jelly fish with dios
I've had a few scavs with dio
at least dio you're able to kill them eventually, tesla coil is basically instant death in most situations
See thats fine. Whats not fine is jellies with dios because they revive and can literally get to you and explode in the time they are invincible
The optimal captain cell vent:
Greater Wisps
Lemurians
Alloy vultures
Mushroom bois
Brass contraptions
Feels good when they can do nothing to you
i almost had the optimal captain cell vent earlier, but I got solus probes with tri-tip
Holy shit, it's nice and all that worms don't spawn just fuckoff, but they seem to consistently just spawn right on top of me now.
i had dios with tougher times once. I was only able to make it to 55% with nhukanas + 16 fungis with engi but when i died i told my friend to peace the fuck out lest we lose the run
i think its fine if void realms is hard since the benefit of getting 9 items (especially a red) without increasing time is generally fuckin bananas
Yeah
Rng will be rng, it’s like a big loot chest that has a chance to cut your head off
Once ran a Game with the artifact that only 1 Monster Type spawns and ... only void reaver arent fun to deal with
😂
one of the first frames of selecting acrid is kinda silly
Just got my first god run ever and got one shotted by AWU
I can't decide if that image is acridLUL or acridGasm
yes
I still haven't unlocked acrid
oof
I've been to the void place once, but didn't know what I needed to do so I took a portal I found
there're spheres on the ground (you spawn near one usually?) with cracked-looking aura around them, activate those and survive (you get items along the way)
alright
the portal is there if you wanna bail out part of the way through. you should be looking for white beacons to progress through the void fields
you spawn next to the first one
ye
I don't really know how the damage in that place works, but some combination of items healed me more than I was damaged
like razorwire on loader does something magical I think
it just hurts you for being outside of the cell's safe zone
the real gimmick of the place is apparent after you do a few of the cell events
it's cool, so I won't spoil it
ye
also do not feel threatened by the damage-over-time of being outside the sphere of safety
it does a percentage of your current HP (approx. 1%)
hardly threatening
well, unless there're enemies around
the holy acrid visits the chat again

acrid is good boi
acrid is the best boi
@polar anvil is that thor with his trusty hammer mjölnir?
with his pet holy acrid
yes
me too
I bought this quite recently and I'm already addicted
Wonder what multiplayer is like
they often steal you're items
there is a lfg channel here tho
you could try finding some people there
yeah I got to the void zone and I see what this is about now, pretty cool, kinda slow though
Yeah not liking having your items stolen is understandable I guess
also: clappy boi
why is horde of many so much worse then the original bosses
because the devs hate us
also new mul-t is bonkers makes arti look like commando dps wise
it's op
plant and 3x voodoo dolls
okay good, my friends said it was an equipment bug
i was confused
i assume its gonna be nerfed tho
its a really overpowered equipment even without using artifact of command
maybe changing it to 60 maybe 75 secconds
btw it still works, you can use one green scrap in bazaar to get a red item
don't tell devs 👀
they probably know at this point
they already said in the hotfix post that they fixed it, but seems like it didn't stick
they only said that they are working on it
oh no, they said they are working on it
yeah I went to actually read it properly
also what the hell is that grinding noise I hear in every map? I now hear it in character select screen too
annoying
restarting your game fixes the noise
Any captain build suggestions(with artifact of command)? I want to play full dps on him. Should I go for cri strat?
go a lot of bleed
shaterspleen, like 10-20 tri tips
just lots of on hit mostly lol
so whats the consensus on must-have captain items
@wispy cypress pug Thx bro, but what else? Is focus crystal viable too?
yes
ah ty i was wondering
So 2 achievements left for me. Merc one in prismatic, and one you need to finish teleporter on 10% hp
merc one I will never manage to do
the prismatic now is good for merc achievement
its really easy i got it on the current one
I gotta to the captain stuff and then acrid's alt right click
I've done all captain stuff in one run
speaking of merc ability, is the alt for his special better than his original
perhaps
I dont think so, inv is too strong
I'm just sitting here reading these conversations, having unlocked all of 3 survivors
It reveals enemies now iirc
i like it because i can use it as a ranged ability, it exposes, and i can attack during its animation now
compared to the original
I should probably try using it
i was using it earlier and its really nice, it comes up off cooldown really quickly because of aoe expose
it might be preference though
you keep the captain item if you use metamophisis
Makes sense, as it's an item and not an ability
yeah
