That is an obscenely concerning statistic.

there was a review on rock paper shotgun where the guy said "I cant get past the first stage on anyone but loader", so maybe a lot of new players have trouble with it?
I honestly couldnt tell you
dull ingot
yeah
analog lintel
oh, you should also always stay away from a scav as it's dying, because it could have a dio's
dull ingot
its so damn small
dull ingot
its a phone

#1 rule for your first few scavs in a run on stage 9/10, is create distance and find cover
unless youre a melee survivor of/c
dull ingot
i killed it but his drone killed me
should have sniped it
so annoying damn that was a good run
i was almost gonna beat the game without lunars
hard lily
analog lintel
yeah, leaving the tp zone entirely works pretty well
I feel like they dont even do that giant leap phases anymore
they just stay in the ground and pop out at you
analog lintel
no, but kiting it makes it a bit easier I feel
solid wing
regarding steam achievements
solid wing
remind yourselves that since the 1.0 update, you recieve the achievements when you open the game for the first time after updating it, so it doesn't reflect actual stats
lucid quarry
is mult a good character and are there any items that work really well with him
sorry mul-t
raven lichen
MulT very good. was mid grade pre patch but he got a ton of buffs and is pretty good now. also has a few different viable playstyles
analog lintel
if you hold your ulti key and lmb, you can rapid fire rebar too

I fed my tonic affliction to a scrapper, it jammed the thing but god damn did I need to get rid of that
past yarrow
Shit, you can do that?
plain fiber
how do you get the logbook entry for the captains red item?
river crest
I've been using Thunder Gauntlet recently, and damn is this thing pretty fun
I mean not being able to hold charge is a bit annoying but it's worth it IMO
the 1000% cone is really handy for dealing with teleporter

item tier list
Friends and I made an items tier list
We made some for equipment and lunars too but I don't want to spam
Thoughts ?

how did dios bear and boss bullets get so low
past yarrow
Boss bullets should be much higher imho
fickle oracle
Our reasoning for ap rounds was that basically any other white damage up (focus crystal, syringe, crit glasses, etc) works on not only bosses, but any enemy
And bosses usually aren't the biggest problems
Sure mithrix it's a little better, but honestly it would be nicer to just have like a syringe instead of an ap rounds
Also if you die with Dios, it usually means you are gonna die again soon, at high level gameplay
theoretically
It's really good on Engie though
I could see it being a bit higher in D tier or maybe even low C tier but I think it's ok where it is
errant atlas
yeah dio bear is like why even have it if you died you'll die again
fickle oracle
I agree
obviously Engie is an exception because the turrets get it right back when you place them again
errant atlas
did not know that happened
fickle oracle
It's great on engie
random laurel
resonance disc deserves better
fickle oracle
You think? How so
random laurel
having something that just occasionally does a ton of damage to a random enemy is really useful
it also helps a lot on survivors that struggle with targeting multiple enemies at once
fickle oracle
That's true
The thing that sold the low tier for me was the fact is has a 0 proc coefficient on hit
fickle oracle
Technically on the way to the target and on the way back has proc coef of 1 but the hit itself doesnt which is like why?
Yeah if it has a proc coef it would be much better
just get a fat rocket and instakill a boss
steady arch
@fickle oracle does the bleed change make tri tip s?

plz tell me here isnt as crazy as 1
fickle oracle
It's definitely more chill than game discussion 1
past kelp
thank god
sucks bc the one question i joined this discord to ask is a question that requires a lot of people's input
true roost
Whats up hyper
past kelp
its more people's experience with the game, my question was if people were getting hand pains playing captain due to his m1
ive been playing him a bunch over the past 2 days and havent felt anything, but ik my perspective isnt the same as others
true roost
Oh no I haven't, I could sorta understand if you use your mouse weirdly but I haven't noticed anything and I've sunk a few hours into him
fickle oracle
If you're getting hand pains, that's something you're gonna want to get checked out
Unless your hand posture is like really bad? I'm not sure what would cause hand pains using a computer
past kelp
im not, but i wanna introduce someone to the game and they do get hand pain?
fickle oracle
I see
past kelp
mainly when like doing a lot of actions with their fingers
fickle oracle
Ah ok i gotcha. I think captain is probably one of the less painful characters, most of the other ones involve clicking really fast or holding down buttons for a long time
past kelp
ic
chrome hedge
Or maybe you're just playing Captain with high attack speed and trying to maximize M1 dps. 😓
fickle oracle
past kelp
i asked also bc i saw a post on reddit about someone's issues with the game and they mentioned mul-t and captain since rebar puncher had complaints over hand cramps/pains after long play sessions and then they gave that old firing mechanic to captain
fickle oracle
Interesting
past kelp
its not quite the same but its similar for the most accurate shot
fickle oracle
I've never experienced any hand pain health problems so yeah I'm not sure what would be the most painful, I guess
I guess he could give it a try
past kelp
they cant get the game yet is the thing
but yeah thats the only real way
ty for responding to my question though

Finally got to wave 8 on Monsoon for the first time tonight, after months of trying I was finally about to unlock the alt colour for my main character.
Then I took a victory screenshot and taking it crashed my game.
heady marsh

silent kiln
so who is mithrix exactly?
marsh vector
mithrix is very likely the brother of providence from ror1
silent kiln
ah
marsh vector
not confrimed, but pretty obvious based on log entries
silent kiln
also... what's the 'you have been sequenced'
marsh vector
is that a death message?
marsh vector
when does it appear
silent kiln
i remember running free willy and clikcing on a totem
marsh vector
oooooooooooooo thats shrine of order
silent kiln
it was a circle in a circle i believe
fickle oracle
I think "you have been sequenced" is a void reaver kill message right?
silent kiln
( '-') ?
marsh vector
yeah shrine of order it randomises all of your items to be exactly one per tier
marsh vector
look up shrine of order on the ror2 wiki
past kelp
look man you finished the run even if you didnt get the coins
silent kiln
i used a majority of lunar in that run though ( ._.)
eh whatevs
again i go into the great beyond
past kelp
good luck
silent kiln
thx fellow gamer ( ^-^)
opal plaza
Man, if void realms want you dead they sure will succeed
My first enemies was golems and the first item was the bear
errant yew
void is great when you go on stage 1. even if you dont complete it, the items you gain will really boost you in the first loop
unless you get bad rng. all the homies hate bad rng
opal plaza
Yeah, I rolled the dice and got obliterated for it
I mean really, what's even the chance of golems and bears when I'm playing captain?
If I has my orbital strikes it would be sooo much easier
errant yew
yea getting killed by bs is how roguelikes work
opal plaza
Not all the time but yeah
Also it's so weird suddenly doing far better on Monsoon
Last night stage 3 was my best, today it was my first loop so stage 6
errant yew
once you get familiar enough with the game, monsoon becomes pretty easy. especially after this update
ive got a lot of beef with this update
opal plaza
Really?
errant yew
im a paste what i was typing
opal plaza
What's your opinion on it
errant yew
last night i was super tired but decided to write my thoughts/feedback about the new update, and my doc ended up being 5 fucking pages, no double space or anything. im almost done with it but when i am, should i just leave the pdf in the feedback tab?
opal plaza
Hm
Could you sum it up?
Downloads like that are rather broken for me
For whatever reason
errant yew
can i just send you what ive got and you can ignore any grammar or mistakes i have
or i can call you and explain
opal plaza
Also to give my opinion on it, I actually love the new update, I'm not exactly a meta person so I've barely looked anything up
I would but its 11:15
So far I cant comment on anything but Captain, the stage and boss
The moon as a stage needs work but I over all like the theme of it
The boss, I like him mainly because it's both a actual boss but also isnt too different
errant yew
same time for me. Risk of Rain is easily one of my all time favorite games but the update really messed with it for me. im not trying to be a hater at all and i know how hard hopoo works on this game but there's a problem with how rng can be manipulated super easily now, removing a core component from the game. all the bugs, and moon stuff i can get over since they can always release patches and whatever but they changed really changed the fundamental gameplay a ton
sorry about any grammar mistakes, i just type as fast as i can
opal plaza
You can manipulate the rng?
errant yew
again a lot to explain
opal plaza
You don't need to go into detaim
I just didnt know it was even possible
Also just remember, I personally dont care too much about the most optimal level to play, I find stuff like abusing shaped glass sorta, boring
errant yew
thats why i wanted to leave the doc in feedback so the devs could see it. i havent heard anyone adress this change at all so i really felt inspired for some reason to shed some light it. so inspired i was up till 4 typing a bunch of nonsense🤦♂️
errant yew
all i want is for the game to be at its maximum potential, and im concerned about the new route the game is heading down
opal plaza
Oh?
I completely rng manipulation shouldnt be a thing
I mean, what's the point of the game even being random in the first place if you can just manipulate it to your will
errant yew
rng is what makes roguelikes so fun and addicting so i immediately saw redflags on day 1
opal plaza
Roguelikes are rather addicting to me
Mainly for the fact I'm a very competitive person
So having a game I can challenge myself with well having fun is what I like most
lapis violet
how do I "repair the broken robot with the escape pods fuel array?"
errant yew
the competitive person inside me is who plays CoD, but the intellectual me is what finds this game so great
opal plaza
Why do so many people ask questions in this chat?
lapis violet
oh im sorry
opal plaza
Its fine
lapis violet
i ussually have it set to game questions
opal plaza
You take the pack from the back of the ship to stage 4 and give it to the plant
lapis violet
like when i go to this server its almost always on game questions
errant yew
@lapis violet look in the back of the drop pod you came in. take the fuel array. get to abyssal depths. rex will be toward the top island. dont fall below 50% hp thought or you will die
lapis violet
das my b
languid yarrow
this channel is fine to ask questions in
errant yew
i ask questions all the time here
lapis violet
no theres a whole channel made specifically for that
opal plaza
I just find it odd how so many people ask questions here them instantly go into the question chat
lapis violet
@errant yew thanks
opal plaza
They can ask, I just find it odd
errant yew
no problem. i like asking question here since it usually turns into a conversation
opal plaza
That is fair
past kelp
you can cheese the fuel cell by using mul-t and either never using one of your left clicks or swapping when its about to blow
opal plaza
Also can i just say Risk of rain has such a cool theme over all?
errant yew
themes are usually the thing indie games do really well at giving
opal plaza
Its futuristic but simple, not insainly futuristic
Anyways, back onto topic, aside from the rng manipulation, what do you think of Captain?
errant yew
i like captain. he obviously has some problems but hopoo will fix them soon. im glad that we have another character who can shoot stuff with an actual gun
the update isnt perfect by all means but hopoo can always fix stuff later
opal plaza
Yeah, I honestly am a huge sucker for amazing looking things so I absolutely love this update
Also I can agree on the gun
After maining Artificer for so long I really needed something else
Commando was too basic for my taste, the melee characters are fun but are a bit gimmicky for me, Huntress is nice but too low of damage, Artificer is fun but I dislike the nanobomb changes
errant yew
playing this game during the 2 weeks coming up to this update was some of the most fun ive had throughout all of early access, but i havent found anywhere as much fun this week with the update. none of my runs have the same amount of engagement as before which is why i wrote that damn high school essay addressing my problem. i swear im not trying to hate on the game for no reason, but im probably gonna stop playing it soon
opal plaza
Captain? Aside from the mobility I love everything about him, good damage, not top tier (I think?) A gun that is a sniper but also a shotgun
Oh? Not much to do I assume?
I'll be honest, content is the biggest problem for me in most games, usually only end game stuff interests me so I usually aim for that and go so far by the time I get it I'm burnt out
I'm looking at you Destiny
errant yew
no i already had done everything in the game long before this update came out but i still kept coming back to this game because its the best damn roguelike out there. the new rng problem really fucked a lot of stuff
also destiny did really fall off a cliff
opal plaza
Is there no way to avoid it?
Yeah Destiny has drove me insane, both games in fact
First I was just done after beating the last raid in the game and getting the wost item, and the second when the new season came out to be just more grinding
I'll probably always play ror2 just because its infinite, I can just go until my computer explodes
errant yew
i played d1 a bunch, but didnt really pick up d2. i played forsaken which was fun but i got tired of all the grinding and the sweats
i completed kings fall in d1
errant yew
i have the same problem with CoD. whenever i get sick of cod, i come and play this game
errant yew
titanfall 2 is a masterpiece but its a shame it never really took off
opal plaza
I mean, I've started over at least 5 times just enjoying the game
I mean, it has yet to fall at least
errant yew
i play cod since thats the game i was raised playing
opal plaza
I played halo the most as a kid
Well, in relations to games like that
Borderlands 2 and Terraria would be my most played
errant yew
my childhood game evolution went from pokemon platinum to halo reach to cod mw3/bo2 to destiny to all the roguelikes i play now
opal plaza
I had probably the most odd evolution
I started with God of War and Resident Evil at the age of like 5
errant yew
everyone in my 5th grade class was playing minecraft while i was dolphin diving in black ops with my brother
opal plaza
I've always preferred Terraria over Minecraft to be honest
errant yew
minecraft was fun when i played it on the 360 for the first time with my friends but thats about all the fun i had with the game. its a shame i never heard of terraria when it was relevant
opal plaza
To be honest, i like how quiet Terraria is as an community
I mean, just chill communities in general I prefer
Main reason I'm actually talking here to be honest
Most chill server I've seen relating to a game
errant yew
this games community is the only one i feel like i have ever been some kind of part in. everyone here is pretty chill
opal plaza
My main problem with servers Is how many people are in it
Usually it's so busy it's hard to actually be friends with anyone
That and they are so restrictive usally
errant yew
i dont really have anyone to play games with anymore so this server is pretty much the only reason i have discord
opal plaza
I mean just look at the art chat, you can actually talk in it without being yelled at
I've never had friends irl so Discord is sorta my only chance to be social
frozen stratus
Do you think Captain should be nerfed?
opal plaza
No-
errant yew
@frozen stratus doesnt need to be nerfed of buffed. just needs to be fixed
frozen stratus
I love him how he is, he's my favorite character
frozen stratus
Void realms ez on captain
golden tangle
He can hold his own easily in the void
frozen stratus
well that's different it depends if rng fucks you over
errant yew
the void is hard with any character depending on how bad of rng you get. the rng is what makes it so fun though
frozen stratus
^
opal plaza
I mean really, I was looking down the sites of 5 golems
frozen stratus
utilize his stuns
I want to cosplay as the captain
Issue is I don't know what undershirt or what to do for the helmet
opal plaza
I've already picked what I'm making a cosplay of
golden tangle
the only item they can get that really screws me over is the tesla
they get that and its game
opal plaza
I would pick captain but I'm already determined to be a Bloodborne Hunter
frozen stratus
Also how to get roles?
opal plaza
No clue, I haven't checked
errant yew
golden tangle
self role channel
opal plaza
Anyways, back into topic
This server is honestly my favorite so far
Every other server that's been game related/ serious servers are usually so dull
Or uh- toxic
errant yew
most of my time playing games now is spent on roguelikes by myself so its nice to talk to people about them
opal plaza
Yeah
Most of my time is spent playing, drawing or talking
I've never had a life so it's not like I can do anything else
errant yew
if you ever feel like shit in life, just keep going. thats what ive been doing and here i am
opal plaza
Ah, I'm sorry to hear that
frozen stratus
I enjoy talking to people on this discord
errant yew
hey you got a role
sonic beacon
Yep its broken
frozen stratus
Captain is my new main, then merc, then commando
opal plaza
Mine is Captain and Artificer
opal plaza
She is fun but Oh my the fireballs are sorta annoying
Good range but close range sucks
frozen stratus
That's what makes it difficult for me
opal plaza
I usally kept a backup bag for only mobs
golden tangle
Artificer is probably the best survivor to use when killing mithrix, that and rex
frozen stratus
Because of that snap freeze ability thingy
sharp atlas
If you grapple into mythrix with loader, it stays attached, even when he teleports to the center to do the ground pound, leading to some crazy long grapple wires
golden tangle
same with rex's r root, the binding vines will stretch to an extreme
errant yew
well im gonna head off. tomorrow i'll publish my 4am constructive criticism in feedback so please read it. i havent heard anyone talk about this change and i feel it really needs to be addressed
sharp atlas
Yeah I beat him with shaped glass and loader
golden tangle
which changes we talking?
frozen stratus
rip your 1 shot protection
sharp atlas
Because saitama moment
frozen stratus
fair
sharp atlas
I only use shaped glass on loader, for the memes
golden tangle
loader doesnt really need to worry about it to be honest if you simply keep swining around
sharp atlas
Well, at phase 3, the pillars he makes when he slams the ground will fuck you up if you swing into them
opal plaza
Or at least ping me when you do post it
errant yew
a giant change i noticed with being able to manipulate rng. not going into depth now but please read it tomorrow. i want it to get enough traction so the devs will see it
sharp atlas
Seigbrew item when? @opal plaza
opal plaza
Whenever we have a reason to celebrate
frozen stratus
Have you ever just played Captain and just keep thinking of the one scene from Captain Phillips where one of the pirates goes: "Look at me. I'm the captain now!"
sharp atlas
Yes, and I constantly try not to just randomly say it to my friends too
frozen stratus
I DO IT ALL THE TIME! My friends get pissed at me everytime I do it but I can't help it!
Especially when I repair 1000+ drones
sharp atlas
I always tell my one friend he’s gonna regret the tonic, but he doesn’t listen
frozen stratus
There's a way to drink the tonic without getting the debuff
opal plaza
Well, I probabaly would if I had friends to play ror2 with
sharp atlas
Engage in some jolly cooperation
sharp atlas
Dude
My one friend, every time we kill the worship unit
He is the reason I play with chaos on
opal plaza
Well problem is, random people just isnt fun
frozen stratus
I will never play with random people on risk of rain 2
opal plaza
I mostly prefer knowing the people so I can get an idea on what I can do
frozen stratus
exactly^
pulsar loom
I need a mod where i start with enough shaped glass to be at 1 HP
opal plaza
Why?
frozen stratus
cough artifact of glass cough
pulsar loom
shits and giggles, probably try and do a hitless run once or twice like that
frozen lintel
the real question is, how do you make friends in ror2 ;c
frozen stratus
close enough
pulsar loom
You make friends by not stealing items from people online
frozen stratus
^
pulsar loom
That or just getting to know folk here
frozen stratus
actually communicating
frozen lintel
and watch them steal items from you? what
frozen stratus
Important question: Enforcer or Captain?
pulsar loom
I mean if they steal items from you, they're either cunts, or you did it first
frozen stratus
LMAO
frozen lintel
Most games I see after the update are ones that have already started, if only there was a filter to filter the ones that haven't started yet
pulsar loom
How do you scout a map with 4 captains
frozen stratus
EXACTLY!^
opal plaza
You dont
frozen lintel
and @opal plaza legit 50% of lobbies have all captains
dry cargo
With posture and elegance
frozen stratus
You hack every chest you see
frozen lintel
People wanna flex their captains
dry cargo
Hack whole map, leave
pulsar loom
Captain feels really down the middle for me
frozen stratus
is sniper still in the game?
opal plaza
The outlaw if I'm correct?
frozen stratus
well his game files
opal plaza
I think they would still be there
pulsar loom
Good damage, nice team utility, cool passive, buuuut.
Ass mobility and hatred towards hidden realms.
frozen stratus
captain is a living god character those beacons are my life
he also looks the coolest out of all the characters
pulsar loom
Am i blind or can you not do multiplayer eclipse
opal plaza
No clue
languid yarrow
Nope
quartz saffron
only singleplayer
languid yarrow
Eclipse is single player only
frozen stratus
If you guys had to choose one which one: Enforcer or Captain?
opal plaza
Captain
languid yarrow
Captain
frozen stratus
I feel like Enforcer should make a return still
elder cloud
buffer
opal plaza
Most are offence
frozen stratus
A tank
opal plaza
True true
frozen stratus
That's why I think enforcer would be perfect
opal plaza
Yeah
frozen stratus
Also a long range shooter
pulsar loom
To be fair, a lot of "roles" in multiplayer can be made by item distribution
frozen stratus
sniper maybe needed
opal plaza
Hmm, that is true
pulsar loom
Give someone enough teddy bears and plates, tank. Give someone enough fungus and racks, healer. Give someone enough ATG's and crit glasses, DPS
opal plaza
Yes but that requires items
frozen stratus
But at the same time the abilites are the main thing that make the character it's "class" or "role"
opal plaza
Characters should mostly be a base
pulsar loom
i'm not arguing that abilities aren't the main base
Just saying that if you let the one guy hog some item combos, you can improv a lotta roles
opal plaza
Yeah
frozen stratus
What's the next character you guys think will be added?
opal plaza
I sorta forgot he was even the new character
frozen stratus
and he made sense in the lore purpose
opal plaza
Anyways, something I'm curious about
golden tangle
Based on how the game has been designed to play, bandit and chef could make a return of a sort. I'd like to see maybe a ranged melee hybrid so the opposite of acrid
frozen stratus
I freaked out when I saw the 1.0 poster
I feel like there's too many melee characters
opal plaza
What do you guys think of a Steam Workshop for ror2?
frozen stratus
Hell yes!
Yet at the same time I'm scared as I was looking at the mods I found a mod called "Final Boss Cum Zone"
opal plaza
Actually, I got an idea
golden tangle
Thats the thing we have a lot of melee but none that are ranged into a melee capabalitiy
opal plaza
So, you guys know the final boss of ror1?
low shell
Hello
opal plaza
What if he was a character?
frozen stratus
GOD YES!
golden tangle
wont happen
opal plaza
Hello Hee Yaw
golden tangle
maybe as a mod
low shell
😄
golden tangle
but never as an official character
opal plaza
I mean, it would fit
low shell
ew
frozen stratus
Yello hee yaw
opal plaza
What?
low shell
Emoji
opal plaza
Oh
golden tangle
it would fit for fighting mithrix but not working with the other survivors
your not there to save the planet
frozen stratus
Mithrix as a survivor
sharp atlas
Mithrix as a regular tele boss
low shell
Oh god lol
golden tangle
literally lore wise its makes sense you could have providence fight mithrix but in the regards to ror1 he'd want everyone hes working with dead
opal plaza
Well think about it, in game i dont see a reason why he couldn't work
Nothing says you work eith survivors
Aside from maybe the ending but you could explain that as he took it because it was the only way out
frozen stratus
I need to find out the whole lore of ror2
golden tangle
in risk of rain 1 YOU are the monster not providence
patent pumice
i see lore talk.
opal plaza
Yeah
frozen stratus
Indeed
patent pumice
Depending on your perspective, either can be the "bad guy".
opal plaza
Maybe both are bad
frozen stratus
How so? @patent pumice
opal plaza
Anyways
patent pumice
We massacre innocent monsters.
They don't attack us first by lore.
low shell
Hmmmmn
frozen stratus
Wait really?!
patent pumice
They see us as a demon who killed their protector.
low shell
Lol true
low shell
They get mad
patent pumice
thats gameplay
low shell
Lol
patent pumice
While we see them as monsters, with a zookeeper who crashed our ship.
but we also had a teleporter on our ship, from the planet.
frozen stratus
Wait so was providence the protector?
patent pumice
Providences title is Bulwark of the Weak
opal plaza
Also the main reason why I suggest the the ror1 final boss is because he can both use his sword and other stuff like that
So he has range and melee
patent pumice
suggest what
golden tangle
Where is risk of rain 2 in the timeline compared to 1
opal plaza
I think after?
patent pumice
at the least 20+ years after.
golden tangle
wait, does that mean the contact light never returned?
patent pumice
it crashed.
golden tangle
again?
frozen stratus
Where can I find the full lore of risk of rain?
patent pumice
sigh time to explain
ror1 commando fixed up the front and went off. He got to Earth. The end.
golden tangle
gotcha
patent pumice
The ships front is the VERY front, the part we fight provi.
low shell
this is me trying to understand all of this lore
patent pumice
i can post copypastas but it isn't fit for this chat.
patent pumice
theres 4 copypastas for "basic" explanations.
opal plaza
I still need to figure out the lore but for now I'll just continue loving the games theme
patent pumice
ror1, ror2, acrids story, and mithrixs linearity story
frozen stratus
give me all
low shell
Acrid best boy
frozen stratus
no captain best boy
patent pumice
ill post the full ror1 and ror2 copypastas in here.
opal plaza
Like, can we all agree that ror1 and 2 have an amazing theme?
patent pumice
Here is ROR1:
UES:CL got slammed down by Providence, and he teleported to the ship via the teleporter in the back. Don't ask how it got there, we don't know.
Most of the crew died, and the 7 million items of Cargo flew everywhere.
Commando, the main character of ror1, and the one who writes the ror1 monster logs, survives. He explores the planet, using the teleporters and killing 1 of every type of boss and enemy at the least (most of those 1 types are a one of a kind).
He then finds Acrid in a cage, and releases him. They fight, and Acrid runs off (this is what happened, he did NOT escape nor is his run canon).
After that, he gets to UES:CL, opens the doors, and defeats Providence.
After his death, he uses the front part of UES:CL and escapes, but its unknown if he survived.
Here is ROR2:
UES:ST gets sent out from Earth or another planet in the solar system to UES:CLs last known location: Petrichor V. We're sent for a rescue mission.
When the ship gets there, they scan the planet for survivors and UES:CL, but find neither, meaning that all the survivors are dead and/or hiding and that the front of UES:CL was taken (we knew this already).
The characters we play as are there for collection of lost UES:CL cargo and exploration of the planet, while also doing other parts of a mission that we may not know.
We learn that Mithrix, Providences Brother, exists and is still alive on the moon that Sky Meadows is around, which is far away from the planet, thanks to the interplanetary teleporter.
We use the Primordial Teleporter, a special teleporter which aligns to the moon, and go and kill Mithrix for some unknown reason.
After we kill him, Void Reavers come to take over the Moon, as we know that they are the reason for the implosion of the moon.

Do you guys think the stop watch should be readded?

I was once running around a lake when a lightning storm formed, I had no fast way home, half way across the lake in both ways 😄 was spooky

JEsus why do you do stuff like that?
I want captain role but self roles are broken

it was nice and sunny when I left lol
thorn pilot
Whats up with the final boss? I hate it so much hahaha, seems like either you can instantly kill him or you cant kill him at all
thorn pilot
Compared to risk of rain 1 boss, with golden chests all over, hectic and getting stronger and stronger... the risk of rain 2 boss seems the exact opposite of the reason risk of rain is fun to begin with
Besides that... what makes him drop your items back to you? I've taken down to below half health before he started attacking me with my own items before he healed to full and killed me about a minute later - and never dropped an item back to me?
frosty terrace
dealing damage to him
frozen stratus
he hard boss
thorn pilot
Does attacking him before he starts attacking you count towards making him drop items to you?
frozen stratus
they're probably going to end up changing him
frosty terrace
no you only get items after the suck, but you can kill him during the suck
frozen stratus
S u c c
frosty terrace
engineer's turrets keep their items as long as you don't remake them during that phase
thorn pilot
I hope so :/ I felt really dissapointed with the level as a whole when I first got to the boss
thorn pilot
Hahaha, just compared to the first game I suppose. Have you played through the first game?
thorn pilot
Hahaha, nice
thorn pilot
I feel like there is such a huge difference between the first and second games on the last level, with keycards, interactivity, interesting different rooms and what not
frosty terrace
true, ror2 devs were rushed to finish it I hear
it might get changed in the future
frozen stratus
They need to change the final stage, they need to actually add more to it.
It was just too empty in my opinion.
thorn pilot
Im going to keep trying on the final boss - but it doesn't feel like it has the love that it needs
frosty terrace
I enjoyed the music and build up the travel provided

spark narwhal
I figured out how to beat the final phase of the boss
thorn pilot
Shoot Good?
frozen stratus
loader
spark narwhal
no like actually
frozen stratus
1 shot him
frozen stratus
pray?
thorn pilot
Hahah
spark narwhal
but before he takes about 70% of your items
you run up one of the rams on the side of the arena
so you can avoid dodging the blue plasma orbs entirely
all and he doesn't come up the ram
frosty terrace
yeah ranged characters can just climb on top of those pillars and stuff
spark narwhal
not the pillars but the rams
frosty terrace
the boss can climb up the ramps
spark narwhal
he didn't for me
iron lark
i've seen him do a dash and fly up the ramp
spark narwhal
are you sure he climbs up the rams?
thorn pilot
He definitely has trouble with the ramps, but its not a definite win
frosty terrace
yes there's videos of it
spark narwhal
at the last phase he doesn't
frosty terrace
ramps help though I agree
spark narwhal
talking about last phase not the previous 3
thorn pilot
Yeah
low shell
I like spaghetti
frosty terrace
last time I got to the phase 4 was with loader on monsoon...and I was left with like 17 tonic afflictions 😄 I could barely move or attack
frozen stratus
I wonder what the characters look like without a helmet.
low shell
Disfigured and severely burned
frozen stratus
probably not wrong
low shell
lol
frozen stratus
after what they went through
spark narwhal
nah I know the true answer
frozen stratus
reveal faces now of characters
thorn pilot
How many loops do you guys recommend before final boss?
frozen stratus
can be done with just one @thorn pilot
spark narwhal
they don't have anything in there suits they are just models in a video game
low shell
OH MY GOD
frozen stratus
...
low shell
REALLY????
frosty terrace
usually looping once does the trick
spark narwhal
yes
frozen stratus
WHAT WOULD THEIR FACES LOOK LIKE IN THEORY THEN?!

you can also take the celestial portal and obliterate

elder lemurians? I've made a huge mistake

ive put 30 hours towards the game just trying to defeat mithrix on monsoon to no avail

it took me a god run on captian with tonic
got it after like 10 hours or something so was quite lucky

Yeah, I got a frost relic and I’m merc
past yarrow
yikes dude, that's a big rip
desert rapids
first Eclipse on Commando got me two achievements (Cap included) 
frosty terrace
this is pretty spooky void

(after 20 or so hours of merciless RNG)
past yarrow
I got my first Mithrix kill on Monsoon on my third try?
the first two i got stuck on that stupid island
torn wave
took me 7 😭
torn wave
See I am a one trick, I can only play merc
past yarrow
you enjoying the changes to him?
past yarrow
i've yet to unlock his alt R unfortunately
torn wave
It’s not worth it
I still got it anyway cause it was one of the last achievements left in the logbook
past yarrow
i know it's stronger now compared to before, but i just want the achievement
there really is nothing more satisfying than being able to literally ninja something to death
unless we count 1k+ bleeds on a boss target
torn wave
Wait did his alt r get buffed?
past yarrow
so i've heard, i think it applies exposed
torn wave
I don’t think it’s worth it still
past yarrow
if that's the case, i could see a strong build with alt R and BA with Purity
torn wave
Idk, invincibility frames and increasing amount of hits depending on attack speed is too valuable to me
past yarrow
yeah, merc is a nice character because of the choices he presents
torn wave
Wait how do you have a merc role
past yarrow
while also being a high skill cap hero regardless now
i chose it some time ago
i cant remember where though
torn wave
Oof
lapis pendant
Any tips for beating the game on monsoon? I keep getting my dick kicked in.
torn wave
Don’t get hit
past yarrow
uh command or avoid shit really

Commando really?
past yarrow
that might be a personal preference lol
lapis pendant
I like commando because he goes whoosh
torn wave
Lol
lapis pendant
Honestly I might just cheese the final boss
torn wave
I solely and exclusively play merc, with the occasional loader
past yarrow
for your first time? dont cheese it
it's a genuinely fun fight if you don't just jump into the air for everything
lapis pendant
Bruh I'm running outta options here
past yarrow
who do you play?
lapis pendant
He either claps me on final phase or I get clapped by fire
Commando, Engi, Acrid, been trying captain from time to time
past yarrow
Captain is probably a better choice than Commando
torn wave
See I get horribly unlucky with items so his last phase is never an issue
lapis pendant
I was thinking hella crowbars, zap Q item and praying for god.
past yarrow
playing with command or nah?
past yarrow
on my second clear, i used command(o) and absolutely rinsed the fucker
before he took all my items
lapis pendant
I was thinking of doing a high bleed build with command and just shredding him with buzz saws on his final phase
past yarrow
the risk there is that if you dont get him, he will get you
lapis pendant
Mash Q 7 times and run
torn wave
on my first clear, i played merc and j ust jumped over his spinny balls and eviscerated him when he was doing his shoot
lapis pendant
I've beaten the game on normal mode before because I shredded him
But I can't seem to do it on monsoon
past yarrow
with enough attack speed and clovers, you can proc enough ATGs to kill him before he takes everything
because once the ATGs are in the air, no matter what happens, they hit for the full amount
lapis pendant
ATG?
past yarrow
those rocket thingos
torn wave
ATG missle launcher
lapis pendant
Ah
past yarrow
^
torn wave
Green items
past yarrow
super strong, especially since it procs the bands
and as commando, you dont really have anything baseline to proc the bands
past yarrow
imho, they're stronger
100% chance to proc on a hit that deals 400% or more damage
10 second cd
past yarrow
should do if they did before
torn wave
yes
past yarrow
ive never used death mark before
past yarrow
they feel much better now than before
lapis pendant
I like the bleed buff
torn wave
runald's band is a deathmark thing
past yarrow
especially since kjaro's is so big now
lapis pendant
"How many layers of bleed do you have?"
"Idk 1 maybe 2?"
"Watch this"
Then the enemy fucking dies of 158 bleed.
torn wave
very nice when you're merc with an r
past yarrow
ive been meaning to stack purity on merc and go full bleeds
torn wave
it's an anti 57 leaf clover
past yarrow
reduces all cooldowns by a second or two and reduces your luck
lapis pendant
Oh. Oh no.
past yarrow
but 7 daggers is 100% chance
lapis pendant
But I like my bleed.
past yarrow
so whats there to anti clover
lapis pendant
Idk maybe you need more daggers?
torn wave
everytime a proc has a chance it goes off and it does, it rerolls it
lapis pendant
What happens if I get like 6 purities? Do I just have no cd?
past yarrow
probably
torn wave
you'd have to have the proc chance go 6 times in a row and get all 6
past yarrow
it'll roll all random effects multiple times but with 100% chance to bleed with daggers
you're always gonna apply bleeds regardless
and it seems the cooldowns only go down to .5 seconds
lament widget
watching the folly of immortality, stuck in the ambry with too much purity, trying to clean the trash of hundreds of loose item drops that we did not care about until we saw the lag; we need but four red command essences to undo the purity and leave
One frame every two or so seconds

yeah?
lament widget
our folly was misunderstanding, greed, pride.
lapis pendant
Pick one. Being sent to Brazil when you die or being sent to comedy island
torn wave
i mean, does purity seem like a good item to y'all? the idea that i have to get a 1/10 chance to go off twice in a row for my atg to go off once doesn't seem like a great thing
lament widget
the cooldown is nice
supple sierra
does purity cooldown apply before alien head?
plucky comet
hey if i have 10 crowbars and 5 focus crystals is the damage 985% or only 675
basically is it additive or multiplicative
granite shard
crowbar goes first
supple sierra
multiplicative i tihnk
granite shard
so hit
(1 + 0.5*crowbar) for 10 crowbars
then (1 + 0.15*FC) for 5 FC
supple sierra
yeah
granite shard
So you have 6.75x damage on that first hit
plucky comet
so its additive
granite shard
I think so?
Amount * (1 + 5) = 6
Amount * (1 + 0.15*5) = 10.5
plucky comet
the only multiplicatives are shaped glass and crits then
granite shard
https://riskofrain2.fandom.com/wiki/Damage#Receiving_Damage
this is how I've always checked it
Stacks of one item are additive
but they multiply together
5 focus crystals adds 75% damage, that's additive
but crowbars and crystals combine higher than their total % increases because they're multiplicative, if that makes sense
Crit is always x2 and applies after all that stuff
shaped glass is true multiplicative because it doubles a stat every time
warped thicket
Are there any roadmaps posted from hopoo?
granite shard
that's how I understand it, anyway
dull ingot
really hope hopoo gets creative with debuffs on items cos rn death mark is pretty dead (pun not intended)
plucky comet
wait, that wiki says that "multiply old amount by number of crystals" so its multiplicative after all
The game begins by creating a copy of the incoming damage amount, let's call this 'amount', whereas we'll call the old damage 'original amount'.
granite shard
yeah
between items is multiplicative but AFAIK glass is the only item that stacks multiplicatively with itself
plucky comet
yeah
granite shard
crystal will add 15% to your crowbar hit, and crit will double those
but each crystal is worth a flat 15%
plucky comet
so when are the crystals worth more than one crowbar
i mean when to get crystals instead of crowbars for higher damage
granite shard
3, i guess?
cause crowbar goes first
crowbar: 1 --> 1.5
crystals: 1.5 --> 2.175
so only at three crystals are you increasing more than you would by just getting one crowbar
but the more crowbars you have the proportion would change on that
if you had two crowbars, two crystals would be more than one extra crowbar (30% of 2 is 0.6, > 0.5)
buuuuut crowbar has better synergies in general with things like capacitor and orbital strike so i'd trade all my crystals for crowbars any day (unless I was playing a melee survivor)
