My main problem with the place as a whole is the stupid escape
#gd2-nullified
opal plaza
bold cobalt
I mean thats all maps. A couple textures. The only reason we dont call any other map empty is because more than 2 enemy types spawn, and in greater numbers. And no other map is linear.
opal plaza
Like my god did it need enemies that stun you?
arctic terrace
I mean at least magma zone has the nice crystal cave and chain stuff
bold cobalt
Yeah the escape is sorta bs. The timer should be longer
alpine current
why did there have to be void reavers there
why did they have to exist in the first place
opal plaza
I think the level could use more...
Broken buildings?
Maybe more of a worn down temple?
frosty terrace
do we know who's the massive crystal hammer in the abyssal depths is?
alpine current
i don't think any fancy words like surreal and desolate can save it. it looks terrible and uninspired imo
arctic terrace
If its mithrix lab and home it should be more complex
alpine current
the boss carried it
opal plaza
I think the boss and the place are more
How can I say, ancient technology more like it?
alpine current
he's the king of nothing, and the area has nothing in it
arctic terrace
Maybe some facility building other than the 2 side islands
alpine current
makes sense to me
opal plaza
I feel like the buildings on the side look sorta out of place
frosty terrace
he was banished there so I don't see why it needs a lot of...anything
arctic terrace
He didnt get banished he went there himself
alpine current
i would've preferred a huge pit or cage or something, instead of.. that
opal plaza
I will say on a first playthrough it is scary
arctic terrace
He was actually planning to invade another planet
frosty terrace
where does it say that?
opal plaza
It's a new massive place with amazing music and is rather empty
arctic terrace
Logs
alpine current
ok but, can we all agree that the boss theme is really good?
arctic terrace
I forgot which
alpine current
the second phase has the best music
frosty terrace
sky meadows is my favorite, but moon is great too
warped pine
SPOILERS ||I believe providence invited mithrix to go through the teleporter to the moon first. Mithrix did and providence never followed, trapping Mithrix there.|| I think, that's what i have gathered but i may be very wrong
arctic terrace
Meadows is best imo
warped pine
meadows then moon theme
frosty terrace
providence loved worms, I think this all boils down to that
arctic terrace
He went there himself he wasnt trapped, you can read "you fear for the balance of a planet, i will go there first" etc etc
warped pine
oh... ||I though providence tricked him||
arctic terrace
Means that hes planning an invasion
alpine current
i think providence was good because he wasn't a bad guy, he was just trying to protect his people. while mithrix is literally just evil
arctic terrace
Prov was a hoarder, he literally created a zoo for foreign creatures
alpine current
that you went and murdered
opal plaza
What is Mithrix's business anyways? I haven't gotten the log yet
warped pine
the creatures drained and destroyed their own home planets. They would not survive on their own.
arctic terrace
Mith is just a scientist turned conqueror
warped pine
the creatures are not providence's 'people' at all i believe
arctic terrace
Yeah
warped pine
he DID feel sorry for them, mind you that, but still
alpine current
brittle crown
warped pine
Risk of Rain 1 logs also give some info into this
opal plaza
Ugh, how annoying, I cant seem to find the moons theme
Unless I'm just mistaking the song for something else isnt it a remix of a ror1 song?
arctic terrace
Some schizo was bullshitting about some sewer shit
frosty terrace
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2JeL1ibBI0 this is from the boss fight I believe
warped pine
arctic terrace
Theres used to be some group trying to terraform/research the planet thats all
warped pine
many songs
frosty terrace
con lentitud poderosa is the song that plays when you enter moon
opal plaza
Ah its ...Con lentitud
warped pine
ah
opal plaza
That is personally my favorite
Sets the mood perfectly and is a remix of my favorite ror1 song
frosty terrace
google translate says con lentitud poderosa = with powerful slowness
alpine current
no goat hoof
opal plaza
I somewhat regret spending all day hunting monsters-
I should have been playing ror2 or drawing
alpine current
what variety of monster
alpine current
savage ones?
opal plaza
No, form Monster Hunter
alpine current
yes, savage or regular?
opal plaza
It was- what was his name-
alpine current
starts with d and ends with o
opal plaza
Deviljho if I'm correct?
He kept appearing and just being generally annoying by costing me a few kills
Anyways, I spent all day hunting instead of actually playing ror2
Sure I did make some progress but man I wish I could play right now
alpine current
real men solo alatreon
opal plaza
I don't got iceborne unfortunately sooo I cant fight him
alpine current
rip, guess that's what ror2 is for
opal plaza
I've been trying to get a job so I could get some stuff, I'm definitely getting ror2 for a friend when I can
The game is both something difficult but in easier modes can be a vibe game
Drizzle and rainstorm are more or less vibe modes to me where I just put on music, play until I crash and try figuring stuff out
alpine current
you play on steam?
opal plaza
Yeah
A decent amount of my games are on Steam, however some are on other consoles, like Monster Hunter and a few others
alpine current
well, you can add me if you want, i don't mind having more people to play with
opal plaza
Oh alright, I've actually have yet to play multiplayer
gloomy swan
whats is celestial portal ?
opal plaza
The celestial portal brings you to the obliteration obelisk
If I'm correct
It is effectively a way to end your run, you get the Mercenary for your first time, on Monsoon you also get mastery skins

Can anyone help? How do you actually join a multiplayer match? Because every multiplayer lobby i join in public has started. And i can't seem to find a lobby that has yet to start.

no, but do it anyway

Please take a second to vote for my sugestion in #ror2-feedback-and-ideas, the fate of humanity depends on it.

probly not, but do what you think

Hey, what do you think about the mercenary changes? I kinda like them actually but I wanna know what your opinions are
dapper valve
What?
serene plaza
how did a turret kill you without artifact of chaos enabled?!
frosty terrace
I should have scrapped one green, F
also, the loader's R can go through the ground if you try to place it right at your feet, that's annoying
probably my fastest void fields in monsoon, first teleporter just had a blue orb ready for me

does anyone know what buff this is?
silk zealot
zerker pauldron
royal comet
thats weird. cause i dont have any
silk zealot
could be from a different item
royal comet
im not sure which
silk zealot
do you have a gorag's?
royal comet
nope
silk zealot
huh
drifting shore
EU hours, feelsbad 
delicate moat
gorags sometimes doesnt work
polar anvil
On captain it never works
polar anvil
Take a shot each time someone reports gorag not working
warped pine
Gorags increase attack speed?
polar anvil
yes
warped pine
I know why it don't work on captain
polar anvil
because its bugged yes
warped pine
Apparently increasing his attack speed actually decreases his shotgun accuracy, that's not intended?
Okay
polar anvil
it doesn't decrease accuracy what
polar anvil
charging his shotgun increases
warped pine
I know that but pretty sure if you stack soldier syringe he gets more accurate
obtuse wedge
More atkspeed only affects how fast his m1 charges into a sniper shot his accuracy is hitscan
dreamy ocean
@polar anvil how would u cheat ur self 1000 syringes

junior ether
damn brass bells keep messing up my artificer runs
what is she supposed to do against flying enemies
such an awful survivor
still like playing her though
timid thorn
use the nano bomb well
junior ether
good luck trying to hit that against anything flying
timid thorn
midnight rivet
Best hope, ukelele
frosty terrace
well, I made it to phase 3 with loader, the spinning attack got me
at least I got the logs
tawny sorrel
where did you get those? i havent got any
frosty terrace
the mithrix log dropped after phase 2 ended
I took some damage diving in to get it
and the other one is under the boss arena
mossy garden
loader cant fight Mithrix for shit
frosty terrace
yeah it's a challenge
mossy garden
the best characters are arti and huntress tbh
arti just laughs at him and huntress has a lot of mobility
tawny sorrel
i did mine with engineer and blasted the last phase with three preons
here's my end screen
errant seal
hmmm, is this intended designed?
picked up many vision of heresy, and use the utility, so you will have a bunch of orbital probes like 12 or 36
wide saddle
Lmao no it’s a bug. Used to happen to huntress and then they patched it. Apparently it works with Captain too. Guarantee they’ll patch it
errant seal
since it replace the M1, and charges are kept in the progress, well but beacon will not have this thing though
wide saddle
Enjoy it while it lasts
wide saddle
For sure. Definitely want to do a run when I abuse that but Captains M1 is so good to begin with idk
dark lichen
what do you guys think about shaped glass now? I am still taking it but not sure if its good or bad (monsoon+)
errant seal
it exhaust both M1 and utility when the bombardment end
thinking that it will not be that a strong abuse though
8*120% + proc maybe better in late-game
terse herald
what do you guys think about shaped glass now? I am still taking it but not sure if its good or bad (monsoon+)
@dark lichen I feel glass is now the high risk/reward element it always wanted to be - if you’re confident you won’t get hit take it.
There’s a lot more risk though.
ivory depot
aka if mithrix hits you the runs over
dark lichen
i dont take it if i get it late but if i get it early I usually take it
I find it hard to kill final boss in first loop, should I always try to kill him in second loop?
frosty terrace
yeah, looping usually makes it easier
ivory depot
i havent challenged him after looping and its not easy so probably
dark lichen
i had 10 bears and 10 crit googles still failed to kill him
i feel like you do zero damage without bleed dagger in this patch unless you have shaped glasses
frosty terrace
my first mithrix kill was after I looped once
dark lichen
oh also bands add a lot of damage, sadly I only had one of them
frosty terrace
nah, there's plenty of ways to deal tons of damage without bleed
but bleed is an easy damage boost
dark lichen
whats easy damage boost without bleeds? (excluding legendaries)
sand hazel
AtG
ivory depot
bleed is one of the ebst ways to beat him but uh
phase 4 is... well.
frosty terrace
I fought monsoon mithrix with mainly just bands dealing tons of damage
ivory depot
yeah atg + the bands are really good damage
frosty terrace
loader, lots of focus crystals, crit glasses and bands
dark lichen
i was huntress, I cant play loader, she gives me motion sickness
frosty terrace
the fire storm stayed on mithrix as he pauses after a slam, dealt tons
dark lichen
man they ruined artificer i hate her now
why nerf both of her m2s, its so stupid now
ivory depot
i never liked arti lel
dark lichen
i loved her before the patch, why add gravity to her only good button
she has no iframes no mobility no good ultimate shit r1 now shitty r2 too, why not just delete her from the game
i dont understand devs decisionmaking, this is a single player or coop game
frosty terrace
ukulele + razorwire are just amazing when I play loader, doesn't help too much against the final boss but everything else just melts
it's proc city
dark lichen
i have no problem anything else but final boss, i failed to kill him 3 times at phase 4 and one time I killed him then died because I thought the game was over lol
ididnt get the captain either :Sadface
ivory depot
thats your own fault it makes it pretty clear that its not over lel
frosty terrace
you play on rainfall I assume? or are you trying to unlock captain on monsoon?
ivory depot
my first two victories were command monsoon victories, but ive manged to beat him twice more without artifacts or looping
he is really quite tricky
ivory depot
yeah you can unlock everything with artifacts
frosty terrace
I have no artifacts still. Currently trying to beat mithrix with loader on monsoon
captain is great
ivory depot
dont try loader no artifacts its stupid lel
frosty terrace
starts with a ton of defence if you take health things for R
ivory depot
i havent done it yet but ill put in morea ttempts
dark lichen
isnt loader the best character now?
tired axle
not for the boss
frosty terrace
I wouldn't say that
ivory depot
no, she is absolute garbage against mithrix
dark lichen
oh that sucks
frosty terrace
loader puts herself in danger a lot
ivory depot
shes melee but without the dot or ranged like acrid
shes melee but without the iframes from merc
dark lichen
i realized I can cheese him with ramps on the platform
frosty terrace
even elite elder lemurians can instantly end her
dark lichen
he has terrible AI, I cheesed him with feather at the ramp for normal phases
frosty terrace
but I love to play as loader and I need that monsoon win for her alt skin so I keep going for mithrix kill
dark lichen
cheesing mithrix with artificer mustbe really easy with alternative utility skill+hover
tired axle
@frosty terrace you can go for obliteration
dark lichen
what do you guys think about the ward lunar item, where it boosts everyones damage
polar anvil
cool
tired axle
haven't tested it enough
frosty terrace
giving damage boost to enemies is a good way to end a run quick
and a stationary circle of increased damage isn't great for a lot of characters that need to move around to live
tired axle
in the later stages most things one hit you anyway
dark lichen
it lingers a bit
tired axle
what does stacking it do?
dark lichen
it increases the circle radius but not sure about the damage
tired axle
ok
frosty terrace
damage is always 50% more, the radius gets 50% per stack
dark lichen
they generally spawn underneath you so only melee mobs or mobs that chase you get the buff
it feels like a shitty shaped glass but less risky
frosty terrace
it's half as much damage as shaped glass, but yeah I guess you could make that comparison
dark lichen
at least you still have your OSP and you dont actually lose half of your hp
frosty terrace
you'll instead lose 100% of it, if unlucky
dark lichen
I really dislike the shaped glass nerf, why not just make it more rare.
frosty terrace
I'm fine with it
dull ingot
Any tips on a default commando monsoon run
old ledge
okay but now i want to stack that ward item
at any moment everyone suddenly does mega damage
dull ingot
I still haven’t beaten the game without artifacts and I intend to
old ledge
it sounds wonderful, and i need to pair it with meteorite
feral otter
Quick question do you guys generally loop at least once before fighting Mithrix?
sand hazel
I do for safety
dark lichen
I will do it from now on
tired axle
i never do
dense rover
idk im hesitant because he like takes all ur items you know
dark lichen
I think you can beat him if you have enough bleed daggers, otherwise just loop
feral otter
Yeah just wondering if doing it has a better chance for success. Might loop from now on. Only beat him twice so far without looping and I feel I got really lucky.
old ledge
@dense rover If you're OP enough he dies before he can take everything. Just open up on him as soon as his final health bar appears.
dense rover
ight
frosty terrace
loader wears genesis loop like a wig
polar anvil
acrid eats the loop

ok than a casual two dios aight

welp its time no artifacts no loop no secret stages no lunars loader monsoon

i mean i didnt intend this to be a no secret stage run but i just didnt even bother
phase 2.
tired axle
nice
ivory depot
phase 3, here we are.
blazing jay
inb4 gets oneshot by phase 4
tired axle
@ivory depot mithrix can use dio btw
halcyon plaza
I had a very similar run with loader. I had 2 Dio's except I lost them both on phase 1 lol.
errant seal
got smashed when mithrix have dio at the very start of the fight because evolution
ivory depot
that sucks
halcyon plaza
cursed for the enemies lol
tired axle
those are some good items
ivory depot
you accidentilly pick up trans thats how it ends
errant seal
i want to be cursed
ivory depot
calling it now
halcyon plaza
usually when I get solid items like that I get overzealous and throw the run 10 mins in
ivory depot
wait do enemeies despawn from phase 3 to 4?
because if they dont i am so dead phase 4
astral fossil
Actually it already ended. I died to tesla coils in the void fields trying to get to the exit 😛
ivory depot
THEY DO PHASE 4 HERE WE GOOOO
halcyon plaza
@astral fossil ughh. I had a run exactly like that a few days ago. I got Ceremonial Daggers and Clover in the first 2 stages. I decided to go void fields because I was greedy and wanted a 3rd red. Enemies ended up getting Teddy Bears and Tesla Coils and I died :/
ivory depot
well...
he hit me with an orb, stripped me of osp, which procced a sticky, which killed me.
weary zinc
TC-280 Chonky Boi has been acquired. Back to Monsoon to finish grab the skin, then that is Captain fully kitted out.
pale jay
Does anyone know how to get the logbook for microbots? Is it possible to get on a character that isn't the captain?
ivory depot
enable vengeance as captain and dont pick up any items
once you kill the clone youll get another filling out the logbook
halcyon plaza
Damn bro. Monsoon no Artifacts is tough
tired axle
take a shot anytime someone asks how to get microbots
ivory depot
ive done it before on commando and huntress (both without looping)
but loader is really tricky
melee without dot or range like acrid, melee without iframes like merc.
halcyon plaza
I've only managed to do it with MUL-T so far
ivory depot
i havent tried mult yet..
tired axle
what do you use on mul-t?
halcyon plaza
Usually I use the power-saw. For that particular run I used 2 Rebar because you can swap to the other one to cancel the reload
ivory depot
sadly nail gun is still just the best...
tired axle
thanks
glad thistle
So I've just come back to the game after months (and many additions/balance changes) and I'm loving it but game is hard... What are considered to be the best healing items atm? (Specifically for artificer if that changes anything)
tired axle
steak?
halcyon plaza
Personally as Artificer I use the alt special ability (Ion Surge) and just float around and try not to get hit lol
ivory depot
not really... the best on hit is and always will be sycthe but that wont work well on arti
errant seal
steak, topaz
if barrier also count as health
monster tooth is a little buffed, so maybe that could be a choice?
weak elk
@halcyon plaza
If you plan on building literally any attack speed, dropping Rebar's charge speed to below 0.4 seconds will make the Rebar+Rebar R switch obsolete as the switch speed is 0.4 seconds
ivory depot
monster tooth is quite good now, albeit a bit risky as you have to collect the orbs
glad thistle
I'd been largely ignoring steak so that's good to know :) As far as items that'll help with the boss I guess it's just seed/sythe?
ivory depot
they wont help much tbh cause arti is just.. not good for on hits
glad thistle
Fair
errant seal
forgive me please + topaz
glad thistle
Oooooh, that's an interesting one!
errant seal
the strongest equipment of this time
halcyon plaza
@weak elk yeah I'm aware that there was some interaction with attack speed and the swap not working/as efficient at higher attack speeds. good to know the numbers though!
weak elk
Ye!
Your best bet would be to screw around in 
to see how many Syringes it takes to make the charge time better than swap spamming to be perfectly honest
wild rune
Man, captain is wack
halcyon plaza
I just ran the double rebar to beat Mithrix lol. I usually run Power saw and I've been liking Scrap Launcher now that it's not as bad.
marble verge
i came up with an alternative to Supply Beacon
tired axle
yeah?
marble verge
polar anvil
halcyon plaza
That would be pretty cool. They can already create AI versions of survivors (Vengeance artifact) so I don't see why not for allies.
marble verge
holy moly the feedback slowmode is long, i said idea for supply beacon alt but didnt send the image
i was planning each survivor to have a role
in the skill
dull ingot
oh ma gad
marble verge
Commando is versatile, constant dps and long range combat
Mul-T is tanky and (i didnt put this on the image but he would also have innate 15% dmg reduction)
Engineer is supportive and lays turrets to attract aggro and keep enemies occupied
Mercenary is a light, fast close-range fighter who actively attempts to dodge attacks
marble verge
Yes, i did
dull ingot
it looks nice
marble verge

dull ingot
one time i was playing as loader and i did the charge punch move with them and i was fighting a stone titan and i used it on them and i did like 2000 damage and i was on like the second stage and i was like what did that damage and i think it was the sticky bomb that did it i was fighting the teleporter boss sorry if i got the name wrong

tired axle
elder lemurian

thats a hard one for me
tired axle
at least the elite version

guess I'll take tonic and two drowned
dull ingot
for me it’s a constant arms race between the elder lemurian (usually only really the elites but with my like even the regular ones are just mean) and clay templar’s

dull ingot
oh yea is it meant to say that you were killed by the planet when you escape or like am i missing something
tired axle
yeah
tired axle
wouldn't make a lot of sense story wise
marble verge
i think being killed by the planet is just a placeholder for if you didnt die, you see it when you complete a Moment, Whole as well
and a Moment, Fractured, but you could have well died, fate unknown
when you complete a Moment, Whole, you still see your character alive
i believe it used to be "You were killed by: ???"
dull ingot
right

oh yeah this is beautiful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vt0_tKrYxw&t=54s

does mithrix take equipment too? I can't remember

I think why it says you got killed by a planet is because your former self has died

guys its my first time checking the multiplayer since release and i noticed they removed the quick join option, and all game lobbies in my list are already started... whats going on? how am i supposed to play online now?
if the image shows the lobby with commando in that means it hasnt started
theyre working on it, but yeah its pretty rough

even with an old guillotine theyre the worst
lyric surge
yeah same especially as engi if Im solo I have problem with worm
ivory depot
magma worms arent that bad, unless you take contact damage. they can shred your hp.
forest fog
I just can't deal with it as Cap or Engi and those are my mains
damage too delayed
they just get out of harpoons or airstrikes
forest fog
I immediately switched to Harpoons when I got it because that shit is sickly
lyric surge
harpoons are good yeah but I dont use them too often on monsoon
forest fog
I like being aggro
lyric surge
because if im underpowered late game bubble really helps \
ivory depot
cap or woodsprite? im thinking cap
lyric surge
i dont like moving turrets at all
forest fog
Capacitator, no brainer
ivory depot
yeah.
forest fog
I adore them but they move waay too much for their own good
lyric surge
no bungus, no nu khanas, tbh not worth
ivory depot
besides i got my meat thats all the healing i need on acrid
forest fog
yum
random laurel
acrid eat borgar
lyric surge
acrid eat nom nom
ivory depot
oh god i just got tesla phase 4 mithrix is gonna be a nightmare
random laurel
mith doesnt use tesla
ivory depot
huh, the gamepedia doesnt mention anything but i mean it probably doesnt have everything
random laurel
there are quite a few items he just doesnt use even if he takes them
ivory depot
the gampedia only mentions razoriwre and tougher times, so if i make it to phase 4 and i dont see it ill have to add that
south bramble
Couldn't get an answer in #ror2-game-questions : Which is better/do you prefer: Seed Barrage or Directive: Drill? I heard that seed barrage was overall better
polar anvil
@south bramble both are good
ivory depot
ive heard that drill is better in mp
hearty violet
Commando gameplay>captain. Kay bye
alpine current
this is the only wrong opinion
ivory depot
captain is commando but with less mobility and an easier earlygame
alpine current
captain has style
ivory depot
dang, no hopoo feather. well, wish me luck.
hearty violet
That tesla coul
alpine current
wait, how did you get there in 16 minutes
ivory depot
speed
hearty violet
Oh sacrifice
ivory depot
im playing sac so i just rush the tp instantly
random laurel
sacrifice
hearty violet
Casuallll
alpine current
sacrifice is worse than command
random laurel
wdym
ivory depot
Casuallll
@hearty violet commando no loop no artifacts no secret stages no lunars monsoon
wait wrong ss
zinc kernel
there's a mod that allows you to have sacrifice with 100% drop rate chance it's very balanced
ivory depot
heres the commando no loop no artifacts no secret stages no lunars monsoon
alpine current
you spent 44 minutes in 4 stages?
random laurel
no crit either ouch
ivory depot
i was making sure to get a lot of items
and it was 6 stages... including the mithrix fight which took a while
alpine current
i take my time ok
zinc kernel
no cheated lunar coins gang rise up
hearty violet
Was clover even useful for that fight?
alpine current
i rush primordial teleporter cuz sky meadow is trash
ivory depot
eh
random laurel
meadow is hell yeah
ivory depot
the fight took 11 minutes cause i didnt really have much dps rlly
hearty violet
Oh for bleed
ivory depot
bleed was fun phase 4
alpine current
christ.
hearty violet
Wow
ivory depot
phase 3 time...
hearty violet
You fought him in the center the whole time?
hearty violet
Uhm
alpine current
rest in vermin
hearty violet
Did you get knocked across the world? O.o
ivory depot
i got hit by a shockwave and tried to run in order to get a little healing
hearty violet
Oh nvm
ivory depot
i didnt have enough time and just ended up fighting him there
lyric surge
its affected by effigy of grief
alpine current
just get a few hoopo feathers
lyric surge
so yes
ivory depot
just get a few hoopo feathers
remember when i said "dang, no hopoo feather. well, wish me luck."
and you saiiiid
"shut up you have 2 red items
it'll be fine, probably"
it wasnt fine
dull ingot
mithrix providence bromance
alpine current
that's because you didn't have hoopo feathers
dull ingot
is there an exploit with commando slide or something
ivory depot
you said itd be fine it wasnt you lied to me you must die for your crimes
red echo
it's not really an exploit @dull ingot you just jump during it and it yeets you extra far
warm venture
y0 is the ts-280 always on the snow stage? Or is there a chance it doesnt spawn?
alpine current
dull ingot
thx
ivory depot
it only has a chance to spawn on rally
alpine current
but then it would be useless anyway
ivory depot
...im pretty sure they want it for the challenge i dont think they care about the actual drone lol
nobody cares about the tc
alpine current
put tc in Backup
fossil yacht
Hey guys, what do you think about Captain?
ivory depot
tc in backup would be a bit op tbh
fun and strong, not the best, but hes quite good.
alpine current
good M1 and airstrikes, rest is kinda trash
ivory depot
hack beacon is fun tho
alpine current
actually, best M1
ivory depot
i mean commando is best lategame but yeah its one of the best
alpine current
the beacons are fun but the shotgun is so powerful its not really worth using
commando is just kinda boring, he doesn't do anything interesting
ivory depot
hes fun mostly cause you arent very strong earlygame
alpine current
what about rex
dull ingot
Rex is solid
marble verge
imma try to unlock The Calm
alpine current
yeah he's not a fuckin gas is he?
fossil yacht
I think Rex need something, but idk what
undone pelican
Rex would be cook if he had team healing somehow
marble verge
oh if they add chef they should totally make chef a team healer
undone pelican
"it" had i guess
marble verge
i guess i get the thumbsdown, it would be a huge deviation from ror1 chef
going from dps to healing would be jarring
undone pelican
rex is solid honestly. not sure if it needs anything. different passive would be cool maybe following how acrid has a posibility of changing his poison into blight
alpine current
like they removed acrid's acid trail, cuz it would be weird in 3d
marble verge
maybe the new passive could be a constant heal
and it would stack for every enemy had it applied
like you apply the debuff and it gives REX slow stacking hp regen when they have it
undone pelican
they could still make chef a damage dealer with some secondary skills to make him heal the party a bit, idk
marble verge
they could make HAN-D a support tank if he was added
undone pelican
constant heal is already his whole thing, it would need to be something entirely different I think
marble verge
yeah true
undone pelican
how about a different R that makes a flower that latches into nearby friendlies to heal them and/or buff them a bit but with small radius so you need to be in a safe spot to cast it
marble verge
oh yeah
alternatively the new passive could be that allies gain a portion of hp REX leeches
undone pelican
that would get kinda broken huh
marble verge
But the downside: REX himself recieves less from the heal, the heal allies gain is subtracted from what REX recieves
peak hornet
I keep reading that rex is thw strongest survivor, but I dont see anyone play him, is it some meme or smthn?
undone pelican
it's my favourite one tbh
marble verge
its not a meme, hes really strong, but some people like playing other survivors
it could also be that hes so good hes kinda boring
personally ive always loved support players, so i mained engie untill captian came out
undone pelican
all the community says is that loader and engi are brainless and easy to play I think
alpine current
loader is not brainless
marble verge
Well engie theres a grain of truth to that
ivory depot
rex WAS the strongest or close to but got nerfed. now hes strong but not the godtier he once was
marble verge
Most characters that use minions will be easier
full zealot
Anyone know what the item is beside the Interstellar Desk Plant?
marble verge
But he's not brainless
ivory depot
what
marble verge
on the logbook?
full zealot
Yeah
ivory depot
defensive microbots
marble verge
does it look like a circle with three lines comin out of it
ivory depot
defenseive microbots
full zealot
Oh
marble verge
its captians defensive microbots, theyre in the logbook for some reason
ivory depot
full zealot
Haven't used my Captain yet
ivory depot
to get them, load up captain and vengeance. dont have any items, kill the clone, get a second microbot, than youll get the log
undone pelican
yeah its microbots, you have to defeat a vengeance clone (ofc its easier to get if you dont get any items before 10th minute)
full zealot
Cool, thanks
dull ingot
commando's damage is so low
fossil yacht
You can't get it without artifact
dull ingot
why does commando never get any love
ivory depot
hes the weakest earlygame but the best lategame
thats what i always say
it kind of sucks
full zealot
Commando is fine, I beat Monsoon Mithrax with him
full zealot
I never used nades even after getting them lol
marble verge
They should stick to enemies
ivory depot
his grenades need a buff just let me snipe this wisp
full zealot
His base R is super good anyways
marble verge
AND have a larger radius + more damage
ivory depot
and the base m2 needs a buff
marble verge
i want to be able to use nades cuz theyre more interesting then more gun
undone pelican
yeah the shotgun m2 is just superior
full zealot
They should've made the nades just spray bullets
undone pelican
its kinda the same with his shift
marble verge
Phase round should explode in an area for each enemy it pierces
i think the captian should come down in a dropship or something
because the UES safe travels hasnt crashed, so why did he use a lifepod
glacial steppe
probably the easiest way down
marble verge
true
undone pelican
I would love if they would make the nades actually do like good ammount of damage, just make the cooldown longer. 250 + 4 times as much in center would be good enough. Maybe even before they go off if you could press R to make them explode?
marble verge
that makes sense it just seems a little odd to use an "escape" pod
glacial steppe
make it a really fancy drop pod
glacial steppe
doesn't even crash, hits the thrusters for a safe landing
undone pelican
would be cool if every survivor would land differently
or at least in a different pod
idk
marble verge
yeah that would be a good idea lucar
undone pelican
didn't ror1 commando have actual iframes with his roll?
marble verge
it would be interesting for each survivor to land in a different pod
glacial steppe
yes he did
marble verge
yes, he did, so did most characters with mobility
because it was harder to dodge in 2d
marble verge
maybe acrid's pod could instead be like a chained up box
then he breaks free
like how you find him in 1
turbid bone
i mean he gets released from void prison
ivory depot
just give him sleep immunity
marble verge
would he still be on the planet
elder axle
Anyone knows how i did 500m dmg in 1 hit?
ivory depot
its the same acrid so the crate wouldnt work
elder axle
ivory depot
probably an atg proc into bands proc
undone pelican
the way he wakes up is cute enough
marble verge
there should totally be a red that boosts drone stats (+stats per stack) and gives them all your items
ivory depot
that would be incredibly overpowered
COUNTER move = its a lunar, and you deal like no damage yourself, maybe none at all.
wind shadow
i think it's cause acrid was in the sewer
ivory depot
yes
marble verge
hm but then if the drones die your defenseless, how about it increases skill cooldowns
ivory depot
thatd still be stupidly op
marble verge
Call it "Prismatic Whip" or something
ivory depot
drones getting your items basically makes you engi except you can get infinite flying turrets
to balance it it would need to have a stupidly bad negative
marble verge
yeah how about doubles skilll cooldowns
brisk quiver
You no longer have item effects
marble verge
Prismatic Whip
Drones get all your items and boosted stats... BUT you lose YOUR items
ivory depot
so now instead of being stupidly op its just plain stupid!
elder axle
@marble verge only way I could kill monsters at that stage was with black hole and spleen explosion
And 5k+ bleed stacks on enemies
warm fog
activate tele inside the cave in abyssal depths.
4 overloading elder lemurians appear, 2 blocking each exit
ivory depot
thatd be pretty good
elder axle
My friend got to the same stage but took him 1hr longer and his max dmg was 28m
marble verge
Increases drone effectiveness, spawn rate, and gives them your items... but items no longer affect YOU
ivory depot
better luck than probably
marble verge
another lunar idea concept: Idol of Patience
Triples health and gives you 50% damage reduction, but speed and damage is reduced by a third
ivory depot
stack idol of patience and shaped glass and you win
marble verge
lel
brisk quiver
Knowing the current lunars you might want to swap percentages
ivory depot
sure you move slower but movespeed in THIS game is never an issue
marble verge
But heres the kicker, speed and damage ups you pick up, their effects are ALSO reduced by a third, its not just the stas
*stats that are affected
ivory depot
yeah but you just stack shaped glass and its all good
weary saddle
@arctic terrace you think you can just call me a schizo without anything to back up your claims, i like how you refuse to believe anything I say, you are seriously just mad that you cant access the sewer. Like first of all you said I was a schizo after I got off when I mentioned the sacred sewer for the first time , you deliberately waited until i got off because your too scared to confront me about the sewer when more than half of the server already has msged me about it and I have told them how to get to the sewer and they have succeeded every time i have given them directions. You are just mad that I havent told you the location of the actual sewer, and everybody has been there except for you. I'm glad that you will never be able to see that amazing dimension and all the rich lore that it holds within.
ivory depot
wait you found the sewer!? HOW!?
ivory depot
he found the fabled sewer, the primary location the entirety of ror lore is centered around
each location, character, everything, is connected to the sewer in some way
brisk quiver
Wait what
wind shadow
especially mercenary and acrid
ivory depot
to find the sewer is to find everything, to find god himself, to find the secret to eternal life
marble verge
aqueducts?
marble verge
where is the sewer mentioned in ror
ivory depot
everywhere
providence and mithrix came from the sewer and they are trying to return there
livid swallow
No i thought i knew the lore and then @weary saddle showed me the sewer. The engineer was actually the architect of the sewer btw 🙂
ivory depot
the void is connected ot the sewer and is where merc murdered acrids family
wind shadow
uhh i thought captain was the architect of the sewer
livid swallow
he helped
dull ingot
Mithrix is || Providence's brother right? ||
ivory depot
everything leads to the sewer, everything is connected ot the sewer
marble verge
this is just some big fanfiction isnt it
ivory depot
yes
dull ingot
cool
ivory depot
not yes to the fanfic thing
grizzled basin
This is clearly, a fanfic
ivory depot
shut
wind shadow
uhhh are you trying to call the deep sewer lore a fanfiction? that is insulting to acrid's family who died in the sewers
weary saddle
ermm
grizzled basin
don't fall for obvious jokes
ivory depot
SHUT
weary saddle
okay that's someone whos not going to get insight on the sewer.
ivory depot
this blasphemy is spitting in the face of acrids family and all the worms who lost their lives to mithrix in his attempts to open the sewer
dull ingot
It sounds like ||providence jumped into the well to save worms||
weary saddle
the wormd
ivory depot
It sounds like ||providence jumped into the well to save worms||
no nothing that serious
he just banded together with a "her" maybe nkuana? to banish mithrix to the moon
nothing much
just a simple banishment for all eternity
livid swallow
that's why he is the king of nothing, cause he no longer rules the sewers
ivory depot
well he was banished from the sewers with providence a long time ago, but he even lost his reign over the mere planet he came too
weary saddle
after the sewer was lost, it was as if everything was lost.
weary saddle
it took me so long....
wind shadow
that directly led into mercenary infiltrating the sewer to eat acrid's family. without providence, the bulwark of the weak, to protect them, acrid's family was all but dead.
jaunty coral
that feel when you think you're going to get some scaling free farming in to catch up after a slow stage 2 but the void fields has elder lemurians -_-
ivory depot
acrid than escaped from the void with the help of the other survivors in order to take his revenge
livid swallow
Theres a Easter egg were if its just mercenary and acrid, they will glare at each other
ivory depot
can confirm
green terrace
Just spent 30 minutes in the void and these are the items that i have at 9 minutes in the run (luv sacrifice artifact)
grizzled basin
Sacrifice is fun, I loved using it, just tends to be too easy if you hit gold realm with it.
livid swallow
Yea you enter the gold realm as a boy and exit a man
grizzled basin
Not touching any modifiers again until I kill the boss on a fair run.
weary saddle
In the zone they call abyssal depths there is a way to access the fabled sewer, however the process is extremely long and requires the full concentration of any individual willing to participate in the manifestation of the sewer portal. The first step is to buy the legendary chest and then you will need to take your legendary item to anywhere near the top of the map (loader is useful for this part). After your at the top you will need to jump 4 times in a row followed by a jump off of the edge. After you take your fall damage repeat this process 4 more times. The last step of the process is to use your M2 ability 4 times in a row, if all these steps were done correct;y and before the time limit reaches 14:00 minutes then your character will do an animation unique to the character. After this animation is done playing the sewer portal will manifest at least 10m from the player. At this point you could either enter the portal and or decide to leave through the teleporter, if you enter the portal you will be transported to the sewer dimension, and if you enter the teleporter you will be continuing your run. If all these steps were done correctly then I hope that you have fun discovering the new items in the sewer!
green terrace
What's so special about gold realm?
wind shadow
alright, i'm going to try it right away!
ivory depot
good luck on your journey
green terrace
srsly what's so good there
grizzled basin
anyway, I find a lot of the modifiers to be a bit silly, doppelganger is funny though. And tbh gold realm is kinda awful?
ivory depot
frog
grizzled basin
The unique item there is only kinda ok.
green terrace
please explain .-.
ivory depot
everything in the lore is connected to the sewer in some way
livid swallow
The artifact of sacafice gives you item randomly on kills, and when you are in the realm of gold, time stops and emeny keeps spawning. So you can just stay their for infinite items. @green terrace
weary saddle
anyway, i find you lack of knowledge about the sewer to be silly, you face is big though. and tbh you stinky
grizzled basin
He's intentionally messing with you, ignore weasel
weary saddle
. . .
ivory depot
you dare speak such blasphemy
grizzled basin
he's just making any actual questions confusing
weary saddle
ask any questions you feel necessary :)!
ivory depot
nylmaedia truly knows nothing
wind shadow
but the sewer realm is still over all better than the gold realm or void realm, you have to put in a lot of work, but the effort is worth it in the end. the sewer items do act pretty similar to lunar items, but on a much more powerful scale. i love getting sacrifice and swarms and just farming sewer items from the unique sewer enemies
ivory depot
they speak lies
they wish to decieve you
grizzled basin
you'll just answer back with some copypasta straight out of the 1990's pre internet access days anyway, so no real point.
wind shadow
uhhh
weary saddle
ermm
wind shadow
did you just imply the sewer is some sort of copypasta? honestly that's pretty insulting
weary saddle
1990's were talking about RoR2 here
ivory depot
(speaking true here) i dont think any of this is a copypasta we are just making this up as we go along
but you dare say such blasphemy
you dare disrespect weasel, the historian of the sewers!?
livid swallow
dont anger him, for he his the prophet of the sewers
ivory depot
he speaks for the gods of the sewers, the council of frogs
grizzled basin
it's jusy on the same vein as, Defeat the elite fore 70's times in a day, without saving to encounter mew"
type deal
weary saddle
yeah but you've never tested this method
ivory depot
this is just us making up stupid lore as we go
actually this is true
weary saddle
so you would never know if you could actually be sitting right beneath the sewer.
ivory depot
it has been tested by the greatest gamers of hte ages
wind shadow
so anyway have you guys heard of string theory
ivory depot
yes, the theory that there is a hidden network of strings, invisble to the naked eye, in each stage that connects down into the sewers which allow the frog gods to control things on the surface?
green terrace
are you challenging me ?
wind shadow
yes exactly, i'm surprised you know so much
ivory depot
i always keep up on the latest sewer lore
distant night
i feel like you should be able to fire the stun while sprinting on Captain
you dont have base armor and no mobility ability
and the slowdown from stopping sprinting makes it so that golems get a free hit if you press it at an unfortunate time
brisk sleet
how do you turn on the portal on stage 5, the one at the bottom of the map
ivory depot
enter a code
theres a code right by the area where you input it
start with that one
distant night
you need a certain pattern, theres one on the slab right next to the stones
ivory depot
but do note that there is a code in every single stage, each leading to a new unlockable at the portal
obsidian cradle
you can also look up the codes if you want a specific portal
ivory depot
yeah fair enough
ivory depot
...3 brittle crowns!? ARE YOU INSANE!?
distant night
sounds like a bad time
somber yarrow
yes i am
brisk sleet
ok thank you, I had seen the pattern but I didnt know how to turn it on, turns out the panel was just a couple feet away
ivory depot
heh yeah
somber yarrow
BRAINSTALKS
distant night
brainstalks on acrid is fun
somber yarrow
brainstalks is fun
ivory depot
yes
dull ingot
when one void reaver blows up another the explosion graphic does not appear
thats how I died
dull ingot
annoying af
somber yarrow
ok 3 crowns might have been a bad idea
ivory depot
you think?
dull ingot
was having a great commando run with soulbound catalyst gesture and drugs
