Pretty sure print_seed in console should give you seed of current run

barrier might count as health for it
@fluid notch May have to try without barrier then, saw people on the wiki say it doesn't count as hp
limpid briar
Couldn't you do Artifact of Glass in order to unlock Bushwhacked?
Since Curse health from Affliction/Shaped Glass removes you away from 100% HP.
dull ingot
no, you need to stay below 50% of your current hp
its not difficult
just spam seed barrage
you will kill the teleporter boss in no time and the rest is easy

Nah overloading overloading worm is best

I slept on it, I thought 'Oh, you just rush the boss and then everything evaporates because of swarms and frailty' because that's what it looked like when that one speedrunner did it.
What actually happened was 30 overloading imps surrounded me when the teleporter activated.

they start consistently appearing at about stage 20, at least in my experience

At least on monsoon they are usually abound by then
Rainstorm might take longer. Usually by like 90 you always get one on sky meadows haha

As far as I can tell ignite stacks as much as u can apply but doesn't refresh the duration of ignite
But that's just what i feel from messing around with the fire aspect once or twice

It doesn't feel like the damage stacks that much.
zinc kernel
it does, just if you stack gasoline it just increases the duration of the burn

@brave heath what character do you hope gets changed the most (either as a whole or for just one specific skill)?
brave heath
visual hedge
other than the obvious commando, i feel like acrid would be my pick
since he doesn't really live up to the idea of a melee/ranged hybrid survivor in his current state imo
visual hedge
i hope that REX's utilities get changed someone cause right now I'd argue that neither of them really feel that great to use; he's the only character that Strides is an auto-take on for me
zinc kernel
you take strides on rex?
I think his shift is really good
in fact his shift got nerfed because it used to be too good
visual hedge
honestly
yeah
his shift just feels really awkward to actually use, even when it's his alt shift

I kinda want razorwire nerf but then add some more self damage related items

Crudely Drawn Buddy is the best equipment
visual hedge
captain's brooch would be fine with gesture if you gave it an additional downside of the chest being much more expensive if you have gesture equipped
zinc kernel
sorry val
visual hedge
if you wanted to nerf gesture i could see the cooldown reduction being tuned down to 33% rather than 50%
zinc kernel
gesture cannot be reworked because it means people can no longer say "just don't use it"

remember life savings in ror1 and how useless it is?
zinc kernel
and the devs cannot let that happen
tarluk tries to escape gesture and yet it comes back to haunt him

just make it where 57 clover also has the 56 leaf clover effect

Honorable Combat: Artifacts of Honor and Enigma are enabled. Each player starts with an Elite Aspect and switches to the elite aspect of each monster you kill. No Equipment Barrels / Multi-Shops, or Lunar Equipments can spawn. Reach A Moment, Fractured and obliterate yourself.
Smart Shopper: Chests appear less often. All chests are converted into multi-shops depending on the quality of the chest (Normal -> White or Green, Large -> Green (or Red but with the same price as a Legendary chest), Legendary -> Red, Equipment -> Equipment).
Planet Detonation: Start with 9 Gestures and Glowing Meteorite. No Equipment Barrels / Multi-Shops, Lunar Equipments or Cleansing Pools can spawn. Beat Mithrix and escape the moon.

if that concept sounds interesting, i made a feedback on it here https://discordapp.com/channels/417739215355510784/559901472339525644/765042344986411069
untold yarrow
there was a mod that was called unstable realms, where if you were on any stage too long meteors would start falling
visual hedge
did they damage enemies like with glowing meteorite or only players?
untold yarrow
i wish someone could make it again, i'd use it 100%
visual hedge
and what was the time limit on it before it started falling?
untold yarrow
they were default in terms of behaviour against entities, but they wouldn't fall in the teleporter zone
and limit was configurable
i also never used it myself, started modding far after it became defunct, but i saw it while searching the thunderstore
it might still work by itself, but i bet it breaks on the newer 1.0 levels
untold yarrow
i havn't really ran syzygy outside of meme saao runs, would you be able to add it as an artifact or option for dilluvian as well? the unstable realms creator straight up said they're not gonna touch it so i am in need of chaos
let me know what i have to do to make it happen @shut jewel 
shut jewel
I personally think Diluvian fits best as all-in-one package deal, but if you can supply me with an artifact icon I'll create a new mod for it
so you can have twice the meteors in saao

how was it
worthy depot
This game creates beautiful moments sometimes. I think that's how I can explain it
I've seen a glitch where his 4th phase Mithrix doesn't activate as a boss, but rather an enemy.
And the moon starts self destructing. This happened after Mithrix gets one shot in the 3rd stage.
tepid wolf
Actually something similar happened when I was on a long god run with one of my friends expecting to die instantly in the last phase, but his last phase did take the items but died instantly essentially skipping it
But we didn't get any items back
Meaning we had to go through an army of elite void reavers
worthy depot
Having even one Hopoo and low mobility on the way back from Mithrix is heart racing enough
tepid wolf
Not when you literally lose all your items
worthy depot
Jumping over the floating rocks near soup island is just too stressful as well lol
tepid wolf
Luckily my friend playing merc did the shrine of order for the meme and got like 17 afterburners
And the charges stayed even though we lost the items
So he just dashed through the hole map while I died instantly
worthy depot
Nice, the shrine has to pay off every once and a while
tepid wolf
Well he also got 170 rusted keys
And like 80 stealtkits
We were so broken that I killed him with my mobile turrets
The trade ups were bands and headstompers
mossy garden
keys are unironically the best white item to stack late game together with crowbars
worthy depot
These kinds of glitches are so cruel. I know they're glitches, but to get so far...
tepid wolf
I mean mythrix dying to a bug it was a lifesaver
Like mythrix would shoot once and we would die instantly from all the items
worthy depot
I don't think I've beaten Mithrix after the 2nd loop
So on 4th phase I jump right, look to see the spiral orbs and jump
Less item means a bit less stress
tepid wolf
The orbs also come back
worthy depot
But then sometimes you get shot and he has all bleed shrug
tepid wolf
And they trigger bands just a warning
carmine tree
is there any safe come back route in stage 6 (Mithrix map) cauldrons?
without a feather, I cannot find the way without getting fall damage

depends on mobility
usually I have no trouble with it, on low mobility survivors you might just have to take the fall and hope you don't land in a lunar chimera's face

that's what i just got

you have to get as far as you can before falling and hope it teleports you back to the other part of the map

How does one do a captain monsoon run
About 3 god runs in and I can hardly get past the first loop
mellow mango
same way you do any other monsoon run

captain is quite busted actually, but lack of mobility requires some pre-planning
what beacons are you using?
mellow mango
yeah that is what I would recommend
raven lichen
Play safe, and abuse your m2 on stunnable targets. You can stun a golem for example, and use the time to focus on other targets, as opposed to using it for damage and getting less safe time
versed epoch
But then a glacial dies right on top of me
And an Imp pummeled me to death
Within half a second
mellow mango
sounds like you are not used to not having a escape button
I would say just bear your low mobility in mind
versed epoch
I mean when you have no mobility, and the glacial enemy dies right on top of you as an imp overlord teleports right to you
There isn't much you can do
tired axle
you could just not kill the glacial enemy
or at least wait till there is a fair amount of distance between you
versed epoch
When 15 enemies are on screen it's hard to prioritize
It's also annoying when they hit you off the edge and you can't do anything
mellow mango
sounds like you are using one specific case as an argument against the character
captain is generally one of the best characters, I would give it a few more tries
mellow mango
thats like 4 runs max
unless you are dying on stage 1, but with heal that is nearly impossible
raven lichen
Theres definitely counterplay, but part of it is item priorities too. If you see movement, it is very important to pick up, even over things like crit early on
versed epoch
When you usually die stage 3-4
mellow mango
oh yeah
wax quail is great on captain
versed epoch
That makes around 12 runs
And most I've gotten is around stage 7
That takes away about an hour

other thing you can do is just bleed

Hey y’all quick question! Are engineers usually greedy? I’m not sure why, but it seems that engineers I play with are always greedier than any other survivor. I’ve even experienced this myself, as I play engineer a good bit. Does anyone know the reason for this? I’ve theorized that since they have their turrets to cover more area than any other survivor can, they feel entitled to the loot that drops in the vicinity of their turrets. That’s just a guess at this point though.
tepid wolf
I mean engineer can use nearly every item in the game to a good use
Both stationary and mobile turrets have so many synergies even with niche items
short veldt
Nah, that makes complete sense! I’m just saying, even with sacrifice and command, engineer yoinks literally everything
tepid wolf
I mean sacrifice + command is so broken it doesn't matter much even if they hoard

Turn on Swarm if you're low on items

So I've been playing artificer a bunch recently and have been wondering why not just stay airborn all the time?
I get that the flame thrower has much greater damage potential but I feel like that doesn't out weight the survivability the big hop gives you paired with glide.
tepid wolf
I mean the hop is good for emergencies
You are really slow while gliding though and it makes aiming a lot harder
Which brass contraptions especially love abusing
Ion surge can also be annoying with it often launching you too high for practicality
proud wraith
yeah I've found both those problem true but it's a small price to pay to be able to completely ignore any non flying enemies, and if you just get a few goat hoofs your airborn mobility isn't too bad
tepid wolf
Just trying to kill a bunch of beetles or enemies around you only to get launched into space can get annoying very quickly
Gliding is good for emergencies but wastes a lot of time with how much harder it gets to aim and how slow you are
proud wraith
hmmm I see I see, two very different playstyles for artificer really
tepid wolf
Ice spear got kinda killed by 1.0 anyway
The only reason to really run it now is against mythrix and sometimes in multiplayer
proud wraith
yeah I use the bomb anyways, I've become pretty good at hitting it on flying enemies by now
tepid wolf
Since pre 1.0 both were 1200% damage which made the sidegrades
Since the ice spear had no tendrils and piercing intead of AOE but executed low HP enemies
Now you just suffer while you barely do any damage to anything that cannot be frozen
proud wraith
yeah
tepid wolf
It is great for bullying mythrix with ice wall and ion surge though
proud wraith
yeah I can imagine lmao
my friends really dislike my flying strat tho lol, cuz it spawns enemies for three people down there which they have to deal with and yet I'm the first to notice chests while flying so I somehow always end up with better items than them
tepid wolf
Yeah flytificer is not that fun for the team
You deeal reduced damage while slooowly gliding in the sky
Being a bomber wannabe really doesn't help that much for the rest of the team
It can be good for when you need to clutch a tele if everyone is dead or you are heavily behind
deep plover
my friend plays flytificer and he's definitely clutched a good few tellies
it always takes super long but hes essentially invincible to ground enemies
also a better nickname is fartificer

226 hours and this is the first time i have personally been death marked by an enemy
what do you have utility set to

what do you have equipment set to

winged briar
oh
well what do you have special set to
what do you have interact set to
that's an interesting key
ohhh
wait w h y
but what's your ping key
oh wow
use ror1's controls 😎
arrow keys to move, skills on ZXCV baybee
honestly the fact that you can't bind things to mouse is awful and i just prefer to get my xbox controller out
wait what
tf
upper briar
i use wasd for movement and arrow keys for skills in ror1
winged briar
that actually sounds like a decent idea strangely enough
that sounds so much better than default controls
fluid notch
I use numpad for skills, wasd for movement in ror1
winged briar
i literally just use an xbox 360 controller
kinda janky when your controller has drift tho
fluid notch
I stopped using controller because half of the time I wasn't facing the direction I wanted
winged briar
ahh
i'm getting decent consistency aside from the drift when i let go of the joystick moving to the left
dull ingot
default ror1 keys gang 😎
winged briar
why would you torture yourself like that
winged briar
default keys are horrific
dull ingot
no
i've completed hollow knight, celeste and ror1 with default keys
i can feel every single cell of my fingers

I only played celeste, I dont think it was that bad?

I use zxcv as qwer

I always use wasd when I play spelunky

during the PS2 era I was stubborn and continued to use the D-Pad for driving. Now I use the analogue stick for Super Mario World

UNLIMITED POWAAAAA
tepid wolf
Now just get the thermal harpoons and you can start going battle engineer
tepid wolf
Nah I mean the alt utility skill
tepid wolf
Just wait until you get razorwire
Razorwire with mired urn on engineer is a razor storm
ebon oxide
you mean the sawmerang? or is razorwire smth else
tepid wolf
Razorwire is the thing that shoots out a bunch of razors that damage enemies whenewer you take any damage
Which is really good with low damage fast ticking damage like bleed, burn and urn
ebon oxide
oohhh that yeah that one's really nice
tepid wolf
ebon oxide
could use a leech seed rn too, enemies are starting to get harder, i'm getting these ones with greenish aura things
ebon oxide
yeah thats true, fungus could work with enginner rn
tepid wolf
That's literally what engie is known for just fungus
A pretty good healing that outclasses leech seeds item that you can unlock is doing a prismatic trial once for the scythe if you haven't done it already
Leech seeds just fall off unless you are a rapid fire survivor or fire a lot shots at once

Too many mods?

mfw you cheat lunar coins and complain about difficulty

they were using thunder gauntlet

I didnt cheat coins

it wouldn't do shit

yeah, you clearly didn't

My brother did it

Don't get it
novel sorrel
Having infinite access to lunar items, the bazaar and choosing the mext stage makes the game a lot easier
dull ingot
Where's the correlation between cheating lunar coins and complaing about difficulty?
Uhh sure
But it doesn't change the fact that there's no real correlation with what that one dude said above
novel sorrel
Cheating in lunar coins is also straight up cheating so yeah its ironic when a cheater complains about difficulty
dull ingot
???
dull ingot
So hypothetically, if I grinded a fk ton of lunar coins does that grant me permission to complain about difficulty then?
novel sorrel
Its just funny to poke fun at
dull ingot
Trash joke imo
pearl hedge
you can complain about difficulty with any amount of lunar coins
but you will only be taken seriously if it has '69' in it
dull ingot
Lol tru
And I wouldn't say that having blue portal open makes the game that much easier
It all depends on what item rng/printers you come across
Portal rng doesn't mean much compared to priority items received and/or boss rng

been trying to get the Incorruptible challenge on Commando for his skill unlocks, and holy shit I've been doing this for a whole month and I can't get past the first loop consistently on Monsoon.
I really want to love Commando, but his consistency is the worst in the entire game, and I feel like 1.0 just made him worse in every regard especially now that Captain exists
mellow mango
well nothing says you have to do it on monsoon 😏
devout crown
He felt more fun to play in Artifacts 2.0 and I stubbornly main him in both this game and RoR1
Nah I mean Commando in general feels trash
mellow mango
but yeah, commando is kinda garbage
devout crown
It's on me for playing on monsoon lol
mellow mango
do you have his other unlocks yet?
mellow mango
the one you really need is alt m2
devout crown
Yeah see I kinda hate that
Why do I have to get his alt M2 as a straight up upgrade with no reason to use his stock
I feel like that's a massive flaw in his kit, his phase round is insanely low-damage and passing through environment/enemies is extremely weak compared to how it was in RoR1
mellow mango
I know, its a bit silly
I am sure they will buff phase round at some point, but for now thats how it is
devout crown
Yeah I guess so, I just hope they know it's a huge problem rn
mellow mango
esp for new players
devout crown
I get the point of Commando but what drew me to RoR1 and by extension 2 in the first place is that unlike Binding of Isaac
Stock character, your first unlock, was pretty damn good all around
RoR1 70% of my playtime was on Commando because he was just that "jack of all trades" char
mellow mango
yeah, commando in ror2 is defo the worst char
but still really fun
like a self-imposed challenge
devout crown
yeah, he's fun despite his badness
But like dude RoR1 Commando was like the doom guy
He felt iconic as hell and he just worekd
mellow mango
so my tip would be to get alt m2 for sure
are you using slide or roll rn?
mellow mango
yeah it is haha
devout crown
I dunno how to force an ez way to get an alt M2
I have artifact of honor and glass so maybe that
mellow mango
OK
people will tell you slide is way better but that is not that case
roll is just as good if not better imo
so do not be afraid to give roll a few tries as well
artifact of honor will not work sadly
devout crown
Overloading Worms are an entirely unique enemy type right
mellow mango
you have to kill an overloading worm
not a magma worm with the overloading prefix
devout crown
thought so
mellow mango
yes
best thing to cheese it is just like command/sac/swarms and do a run till like loop 2-3 where they will show up
but some people are against that
devout crown
there's two things I hate about commando, the damage falloff and stock m2
damage falloff makes him a straight up melee char
Captain shows up with his fucking snipe ass M1
Completely invalidates Commando's existence
Lol
no offense to Cap he's based
mellow mango
yeah captain is just commando but better
excluding mobility
devout crown
Commando had trash mobility as is anyway
devout crown
Captain's hardware is pretty beefy
Commando's vertical mobility is trash, my bad
Horizontal mobility is great but having to back away from enemies destroys your sprinting stuff
mellow mango
true
you can roll into really steep slopes to trimp up them a bit
with slide you just get a little baby jump
devout crown
commando without mobility on scorched acres is when you just game end your monsoon run
have fun with 2 oily bois throwing their balls at you
Just had a run where I was rushing and got a lot of great mobility items tho but those jackasses spawned and it was just over
I spent 6 minutes on the teleporter event just trying to survive and all my damage was chip
