[spare gulch]

Because theres a risk of rain

The best song in the game do be called the rain formerly known as purple

[languid yarrow]

it's an analogy for how the game design forces you to make choices that put you at risk of dying

[cold crystal]

dee;p...

[gray jay]

+

[dull ingot]

A) devs picked it because it was unique and popped up immediately when people searched for it
B) lore wise, it has to do with the fact that the main character went through way more than he needed to. Something along the lines of "before his adventure, the worse thing he had to think about would be a risk of rain"
C) the final stages in both ror1 and ror2 have rain on them. This is symbolic or something, I honestly don't know, but it sure does look pretty

[solar sparrow]

People used to think it was because of the cargo falling down to the planet

[dull ingot]

That would make sense too, tbh

last stage of 1st game was called risk of rain

[dull ingot]

that's probably because of the name of the game, not the other way around

😢

if thas the case then i got the same questin

[charred heath]

Isnt risk of rain supposed to embody the cruel nature of the planet where you just randomly die

[safe glacier]

first real moded experience today (after i got all the acivements) its real fun!

[young ember]

The mc? commando?

[dull ingot]

in the first game, we're told about this "survivor". Everyone's 90% certain it's commando, but it's not confirmed

[young ember]

Ahhh

I see.

[dull ingot]

yeah

the first frame of your profile picture reminds me of @dense stratus lmao

[dense stratus]

what

[dull ingot]

y'all's profile pictures

they look similar

[dense stratus]

ah it's my distant cousin

dutflare
i wonder how he's doing

[dull ingot]

lol

[earnest radish]

Planula or Little Disciple?

[steady tangle]

so apparently you can instakill mithrix phase 4 before he takes your items if you just deal all the damage in the first frame he spawns in

no media

how do I share this

[dusty cave]

Get a role in #role-assignment

Also ye its a console thing

[steady tangle]

no no this was pc

[dusty cave]

Ah
Ive seen it happen a few times on pc

[steady tangle]

really wanted the smushed achievement but then he just died

[dusty cave]

Your mistake was using proc items like perforators and atgs

[slender sigil]

it's a bug with kjaro's band

[solar sparrow]

Who the canon survivor was isnt important, the devs just like to use commando because he's the first character you get and so was made to be the most iconic. It would be weird to advertise only 1 character that requires you to unlock them

[dull ingot]

Yup

That too

[young ember]

Just saw this, it does look like it lol

[limpid jackal]

https://opensea.io/ChingleDingey

[steep oak]

I'm really curious to why commando doesn't have easier challenges as he's one of the default survivors new players pick up

[lament cosmos]

I feel lucky for doing it first try lul

so much pain averted

[tropic bluff]

this makes me think, would the chests falling from the ues contact light be considered as rain

risk of chests raining down the sky and crushing your skull

[dull ingot]

fellow lemurians dance near their dead fellow lemurian because a chest with a bison steak struck him down

should be canon

Just found out that the Void Reaver's death explosion thing instantly kills you. I've seen it a lot, never actually got caught in it before. Goodbye overpowered run.

[ocean edge]

it's a double-edged sword

using the void reavers won me a mastery
it can save and end runs equally as quickly

[solar sparrow]

Just have dios

[red hamlet]

void reaver can oneshot an alloy worship unit with -2,147,483,648 health

[solar sparrow]

Does it deal damage? Or is it just a kill switch

[ocean edge]

you DIE
and you're DEAD
and your BODY PARTS COME OFF

i'm unsure if it deals infinite damage or just sets dead = true

[pulsar heath]

nearly there

missing 2 artifacts 2 item logs 3 environment logs

captain alternate skin and REX full of life

[solar sparrow]

with REX i would use command and get enough infusions to reach 1000+ health. Then get Rejuvenation Rack and foreign fruit 👍

[dull ingot]

I shit myself often. I shit myself a lot actually not just often. In fact i shit myself everyday. And sometimes when my bum feel

[jovial yoke]

[amber cargo]

i wonder if providence shits gilded wurms

[solar sparrow]

he should get that checked out

[crisp mango]

considering lore wise it just teleports you into a prison beyond time like acrid, setting dead = true would make sense

[solar sparrow]

it just takes you to the void fields

you become j u i c e

[tired axle]

beat your time btw

forgot the reply

[full gale]

DAMN

Wait you also beat the boss?

How the fuck lmao

[tired axle]

yes

full clearing stage 1 in under 5 minutes really isn't too hard if you get lucky with spawns / are good at routing / play a high mobility character

played phase blink huntress as well, so routing basically didn't matter

[merry karma]

me when 11 minute stage 1 because 5 chance shrines

15 items tho

[tired axle]

hm, still not sure if chance shrines are worth it tbh, they do waste a lot of time

did play one and get 2 items immediately in that run cause i was floating gold, but otherwise i'd probably ignore them and go for chests

[high wasp]

Please go back to gd-1 sir

[full gale]

Ggs

[crisp mango]

captain is the only character on which shrines of chance are worth in early game

[tired axle]

true, though you do have to give up a beacon slot and lose out on shock / equip for late game

[crisp mango]

to be fair on captain you don't even need your shift

[tired axle]

shift is diablo / orbital, beacons are your special

also, while you could of course just user m1, late game still gets a lot easier if you can just perma stun any horde of many with shock

or high roll equip, with a sawmerang or preon

[high torrent]

back up

[tired axle]

oh right, back up is just 0 projectiles

[high wasp]

shrine of chance are always worth wdym?

idc if i lose 300 coins i might get some crit goggles

[dense basin]

might

Proceeds to spit out a squib

[pulsar heath]

yeah, I want that to be the last thing I need (my friends and I are gonna do like a 4 hour run today, and I want that to be the last thing I do)

tips on getting the cleansing pools besides sacrifice?

[ocean edge]

no

they are a random chance to spawn

[pulsar heath]

tips

because there are methods to get them easier

[ocean edge]

get lucky nerd

[pulsar heath]

wow

okay

[pulsar heath]

I know use sacrifice to increase the spawn chance, and then also I can use Bazaar to guarantee the stages they can spawn on

[tired axle]

they only spawn on siren's call, wetland aspect and scorched acres, and multiplayer boosts the chance as well

[ocean edge]

sirens call has the highest spawn rate

[pulsar heath]

oh I didn't know multiplayer boosted the chance, thank you

that makes sense though, sense more things spawn

[tired axle]

if you're trying to get irrad pearl also use enigma, it allows you to reroll your equip into a lunar one and get an infinite amount of pearls per stage that way

also command disables pools entirely, so don't activate that

[pulsar heath]

okay, thanks

[trail pumice]

does anyone have tips for artificer? i did my first run with her last night and got all the skills and beat the run but i still dont know what the game plan is

[full gale]

Getting good at the skill rotation, prioritizing the right enemies and uhhhh idk I don't play artificer and don't know much about her

[half kraken]

use flamethrower

on nanobomb is easy instakill

flamethrower is 2095% direct + on average 2200% with flame, all across 22 hits with 1.0 proc aka huge dmg. its big part of your item synergy and 60% of your base dps

ice wall is very strong for the execute, makes mithrix a joke, and enables easy flamethrowers

your bolts are meant to fill gaps beetwen your skills, unloading all 4 of them is 880% damage + 800% on burn or aoe depending on which you pick

[near urchin]

The lightning arc kinda undermines the crowbar use of the nanobomb sadly

[half kraken]

nah

this only happens if you have tons of crowbars and ure afar

you can just use nanobomb up close

[trail pumice]

which bolt is better

i picked the electric one bc i liked it more

[brave relic]

fire may have better single target but the electric one has more dps once it hits two enemies at once

plus it works better for procs and stuff

so yeah plasma in general is better, but fire is not 100% useless because the fire damage is nice for bosses in the early game

although if you run flamethrower that is simply not necessary

[trail pumice]

gotcha

thanks

[half kraken]

fire dmg is always good

it doesnt scale with procs but it scales with dmg items regardless

[sand prawn]

someone up for a few rounds risk?

[random ferry]

Imagine a character that can change between a ranged or melee type

mul-t

I love mul-t

[low laurel]

hey what if they re-used the "Vanished" text for the alternate ending in the DLC

[dull ingot]

there's gonna be an alternate ending?

presumably since an alt final boss was promised

oh yeah fair

[high torrent]

inb4 alt final boss is arraign

[dull ingot]

what's arraign

[high torrent]

he doesn't know

[dull ingot]

Oh thats an actual ghost you got

For me he just glitched with the fire debuff

[jaunty tide]

Wait, so I just saw the new spoiler for the expansion

Imagine this works with fuel cell

The only thing that would make this even more broken is if it inherits items

I would buy the expansion even if this was the only item

[full gale]

it does 🙂

[errant mountain]

Gobbo junior army.

Also, weeping fungus will mean that bustling fungus will now actually have a good use for non-engineers.

[full gale]

basically a straight upgrade let's be real

[errant mountain]

For anyone who's not engineer.

Still won't be useful for a mobile engineer either, as the walking turrets don't count as sprinting at any point, iirc.

[full gale]

engi himself will use it anyway

[raven lichen]

They sprint

But only when far from the engi. So not really the most helpful aha.

I do think wungus will see play tho, as outside the nkuhanas or rejuv rack beeg synergies the bungus healing will fall to big melee enemies and stuff, so mobilegineer just takes wungus and turretgineer would consider late game just making himself much stronger. Would depend tho

[high wasp]

Third slot underneath currency

Has that always been there or something new possibly?

[reef plover]

I don’t think it’s always been there

[worldly birch]

I see

[dull ingot]

y e s

if you want pure dps, 2 saws gets you 2000% dps plus 10 procs per second for some insane bleed potential

[worldly birch]

What about double saw n permanent jade elephant with gesture

[dull ingot]

that's gonna be quite the chonky mul-t

[worldly birch]

Chonk

[dull ingot]

you take 14% total damage making your effect base health at level one 1400 (from 200)

[worldly birch]

Nice

N then a few armor plates

lol

[merry karma]

20 procs per second

[worldly birch]

What about double nail gun

[merry karma]

14.4 procs per second with 1680% dps

it also has lower proc dps because of its lower damage per shot

[worldly birch]

Double rebar do be slower than rapidly spamming retool

Forgive me if I am wrong, but is part of the difficulty of this game simply initiating your sprint after every fucking action?

in what way ?

[bronze otter]

oh wait nvm I though you where on stage 2 you got to stage 44

[old dune]

lmaoo

[bronze otter]

what commander did you use?

[tired axle]

would just be a regular sacrifice run

[old dune]

hah for sure

[old dune]

i have no clue what this means 😭

[bronze otter]

sorry im new idk know all the right terms

[old dune]

that's fair. do you mean artifact ?

[bronze otter]

survivor i mean

[old dune]

ohh i see, i used engineer (: base load out aside from alternate secondary (so just the different mines)

[bronze otter]

ah

[old dune]

i was going to go for 100 stages but i didnt have the time. i might try again today

[bronze otter]

I didnt know engineer is good I just thought it was kind of bad. hm

[old dune]

every survivor is good enough to have good runs but his lack of mobility among other things can lead to difficult scenarios so that's totally understandable

[bronze otter]

bruh I was at the final area and was activating pillars and this enemy just threw a fireball that did all 1500 heath I had.

[stable fulcrum]

[open fable]

this is kind of extremely specific, but is there any evidence that loader's design took any inspiration from the hyperion engineers from borderlands 2? they both have a mech exoskeleton sort of thing, and enemies also called loaders appear in the same areas as the hyperion engineers.

oh yeah probability is pretty beeg

[high wasp]

What

[elfin aurora]

how do i get better at rainstorm? i spend less than five minutes on each, farm when i need and prioritize certain items. any other tips?

[dull ingot]

check pins in #ror2-game-questions

and btw, you dont have to follow the five minute rule. take it with a grain of salt

if you're consistently getting items, theres no need to follow it

if you arent getting items fast enough, go through the teleporter then loot afterwards with the money you gained from the boss and enemies

[crimson garden]

Not to pry, who do you play that having to resprint is an issue?

[dull ingot]

yeah lol

i never have an issue with it

even on loader when you have to do it constantly to go at a decent speed

[cerulean rapids]

you get used to it so quickly it's insane

[barren prawn]

because its the normal difficulty, and not monsoon. Maybe try farming more each stage?

If you got the >5 min per stage from woolie, he was talking about monsoon early game only

[summer seal]

is the thunder punc on loader exactly "better" than the base one?

actually are there many abilties that are the "better" pick once you unlock them?

[rain warren]

Commando shotgun

Almost every loader unlock

Engineer Spider Mines

[summer seal]

is the shotgun the secondary or the special

[rain warren]

Secondary

[summer seal]

off

havent unlocked either

been trying to do 20 stages with commando but its rought out here

[rain warren]

Oh, & commando's weird slide

Because for some reason the roll doesnt give iframes like in ror1

[summer seal]

oh yeah i did get the slide

but man i havent even seen an overloading worm

[rain warren]

Dont be afraid to use drizzle/command to get unlocks. It really removes a lot of the frustration

[merry karma]

yeah most of them

[delicate heath]

it took me until forever to unlock rex

[ripe widget]

Not me

[dull ingot]

play bandit
he's the best/worst example of needing to sprint constantly

[ripe widget]

I'll try it. I've been enjoying artificer lately. My first success came with the loader, but she is sooo boring.

[high torrent]

bandit wants some quick and sharp inputs truerr

arti is literally The char on which you press Sprint after every skill usage except flamethrower tho

[ripe widget]

if you guys are saying it's so easy then why are you offended I am using a mod for it?

You some kind of RoR2 purists?

[dull ingot]

yeah

[high torrent]

nah I'm not offended just didn't know you did got thattt

I would be only offended at myself that I didn't disable it when playing someone's modpack because oh god it messes with my muscle memory big time

[ripe widget]

Don't click that

how do you call a mod like that and report bots

[high torrent]

oh it was reported

mostly it will just get reported quicker in more active channels so don't bother, most of the time folks in gd1 or game questions will got that

it's just mods getting more pings to clear

[ripe widget]

ok

[floral lava]

hey all, i'm trying to come up with a bingo card similar to the super mario 64 speedrun ones, I thought I'd ask if anyone had any ideas. I think my best ones so far would be "kill aurelionite", "print a yellow item" thanks 🙂

[high wasp]

"scrap a red item" "acquire bungus" "do void fields" are some that came to my mind

[hushed cape]

Sheeeeeeesh

[crimson garden]

Kill 5 enemies using the barrels in Rallypoint Delta, Complete a Teleporter Event without taking damage, Use only your primary for one stage, (With Chaos) Clear a teleporter event and kill the boss by having the enemies fight each other.

[zinc kernel]

true

[flint tinsel]

wait HOW DID YOU GET 14 DIO'S AND LOSE THEM ALL

[flint tinsel]

How about "kill newt shopkeeper", "get 10 tonic afflictions", and "have less than 30% max hp"?

[solar sparrow]

how do you get 15 DIOs and still lose

[floral lava]

these ideas sound pretty good to me, thjanks!

[half kraken]

loader default shift is pretty much straight up better if you wanna be a tryhard

like 100% completely better

but theyre both really good and one has a lot of subjective differences that may make one prefer it

[rain warren]

No like charge

I agree tho

[half kraken]

anyway the op / better alt unlocks

• Phase blast makes commando not have shit damage and opens up more item synergy. Grenades enable bands and give him some degree of aoe

• Huntress phase blink is her only redeemable quality over other survivors. Unless you really like autoaim

• Ballista is excelent item synergy and ranged burst. Arrow rain is irredeemable garbage due to 0.2 proc coe

• Mul-T powermode is ridiculously broken.

• Engineer's regular mines are god awful and spider mines are way better and instant

• Bubble shield is kinda wack, harpoons make engi himself a lot better

Loader alt m2 is just better

Rex alt shift is just better.

Mercenary slicing winds opens up a lot more variety and fun for the character, makes him way stronger dmg wise for the first loop, and in general makes his single target dmg not be low. Greatly improves concentrated aoe

[devout basin]

if the aoe is concentrated enough is it no longer aoe

[marsh sable]

any that are just genuinely bad/not worth using?

[vocal yacht]

blight is an upgrade imo

makes acrid soooo much more fun to play

i feel like a lot of people get a bad taste of acrid because you have to start with poison

[dull ingot]

and "have less than 30% max hp"?
this is super easy to achieve, given OSP exists in this game

[flint tinsel]

MAX hp

like with shaped glass

[vocal yacht]

take 2 shaped glass

done

[dull ingot]

that doesn't work, since shaped glass changes your max hp

[high torrent]

alt m2 cucks crowbar procs and you are better off with higher mobility of default m2

[high wasp]

My man had 36 atgs, 21 leaf clovers, shatterspleen, max crit, max bleed, and 14 dios and still lost 💀

[leaden cove]

Skill issue

[reef plover]

that's actually impressive that you managed to lose that run

[hushed cape]

Mithrix hits hard man and the fight took me literally 2 hours of pain

[hushed cape]

Yeah

[hushed cape]

It is

[reef plover]

maybe the game glitched at such a high stage and gave him billions of hp or smth like that

do you have a screenshot of the hp bar

[hushed cape]

It was at negative 2 billion

I might but I’m not at my computer right now

His health bar barely moved when attack him

The first hour and a half was on phase 1

[reef plover]

rip

this is why i never go that far lol

i'd rather get the true ending than go to mithy at that point

[nimble shore]

Also doesn't Mithrix continually scale above the max amount since he's a special boss

[hexed fiber]

tbh Mithrix i can handle most of the time

but fuuuuuuuck his stage 3

It's mostly the fire pillars and the spinning fire waves

[full gale]

yes

[high wasp]

Going mithrix after a long run is just a garunteed bad time

[hexed fiber]

yall how many times have you made it to obliteration and just forgot to hit the portal

it's at least twice for me

[high wasp]

At least once for me

The amount of times I forget newt portal tho…..

[strange pollen]

amongsus

[hushed cape]

I should have obliterated on that super run but I didn’t oh well

[lunar cedar]

what's with the cancer that happens in #gd1-nullified ?

[opaque socket]

[summer seal]

are there any charchters that crowbar isnt good on?

namely, atm, is it good on commando

[brave relic]

crowbars in general aren't that great but it's still a damage boost ig

it's just, not that great on characters you mostly focus on your m1

if it's like arti or loader by example, which focus more on the big hitting attacks it's nice

[rain warren]

Crowbars are better for bursties &

Commando can get funky if he uses his secondary or id you use his grenades, but beyond that yeah its just 'okay'

[summer seal]

right now im working with default commando aside from the slide

[rain warren]

Well in that case it works fairly well with his 2. Helps him deal with fliers & i think can knock off beetles in one blast in the earlier stages

Oh yeah &

It works wonders w/ that

[summer seal]

im trying to get his other two but man

20 stages in a row

and ive never even seen an overloading worm

[rain warren]

It usually spawns on stage 20+

At least from MY experienxe

[amber cargo]

ive seen it on 10 im sure theres about 800 of them on stage 20

maybe im just lucky

[summer seal]

oh nice got a preon for the first time outside of the rallypoint box

[rain warren]

Well never be afraid to ask someome for help here. Im fairly sure a drizzle 20+ run is in the easier ballparks for some of the sweats here

like me

[summer seal]

. Due to its high cost to spawn (5 times as much as a Magma Worm), it is the rarest monster in the game, and requires a very high difficulty level for it to spawn at all.

im only on stage 2 right now but its good ot know i can one shot bosses this early with preon

god i would LOVE to find some glasses rn

and syringes

ok

if only i was mul-t right now

[fossil fern]

Yo, quick question: Is it ever explained why the Loader doesn't take fall damage?

lore wise ofc.

[summer seal]

i have to assume its bc she has mechanical legs? maybe?

[high torrent]

because she fears to become as glorious as scout from drg

[fossil fern]

I was thinking because of the fact that she has to load cargo, and that stuff is kinda heavy, so they make boots that can withstand heavy amounts of pressure.

[high torrent]

kneecaps gone

[fossil fern]

Similar to the Portal boots, how Chell never really takes fall damage because of her special boots that negate the momentum in order to crush your toes.

[fossil fern]

ah

true, forgot about that. Maybe she's just wearing special pants. Idk, I was just curious anyways. Thanks :)

[summer seal]

[summer seal]

better ui

[summer seal]

hm, this is an interesting choice

[high torrent]

itemstats

[summer seal]

banjo, stealth kit, and uhhh the treasur one

[high torrent]

gotta love how game tells you shit

[summer seal]

something tome i think

[high torrent]

banjo all the way

[summer seal]

yeah that was my first pick but the other two held value

[high torrent]

honestly I would say that stealthkit is like
the worst item in the game prolly, I would literally take bison steak over it

it's like dio's but even worse

[summer seal]

wdym the beetle guard is right there

[high torrent]

beetle guard scales with ambient level and does a fine job of clearing enemies

[summer seal]

i just dont like that he can block my shots

and steals health orbs

[high torrent]

that's a wacky part truer

[summer seal]

btw what all counts as a "debuff" for skull

[high torrent]

stuff that appears above the enemy

there's page on the wiki about debuffs

[summer seal]

i think splatterspleen is making this build right now

[high torrent]

for death mark on the character without innate debuff you need four of these tritip, chronobauble, gasoline, runald's band, hellfire, effigy of grief, shattering justice, mired urn

also finally found a scraper so now to see if i have anything worth trashing

leech seed or missile

[high torrent]

missle 100%

[dull ingot]

^^^

[high torrent]

leeching seed is just 1 hp per hit

[dull ingot]

leeching seed is by far the worst green

but also AtG is an extremely good green

[summer seal]

i feel like guillotines true value shows once you loop once?

and later

[high torrent]

truu

they are handy when dealing with tier 2 elites

because they have 16x hp of the normal enemy

so like
guillotine % cut becomes a huge "relative to your damage" cut

also elite tp bosses

[bronze otter]

help I can find the teleporter im on stage 3 impossible

[compact root]

which third stage? :o

[bronze otter]

NVM I WAS RIGHT NEAR THE BEGINING

[summer seal]

i have yet to find anything as satisfying as beating a scavenger

[high wasp]

Leech should definitely be a common imo

[dull ingot]

not the worst idea in the world...

[high wasp]

I would rather have a strong common than a weak green

But I like leeching seed either way so

[merry karma]

😏

[high wasp]

Just tried a few runs with ion surge and the alt primary on artificer and holy shit are they just not fun to play with I love the fire stuff so much

[hexed fiber]

Ion Surge is effective at keeping you alive but yeah it's so boring

Just take strides of heresy if you can and you're gold

[high wasp]

Yeah ion surge is so boring

[ripe widget]

Is there a way to skip the opening "movie" and splash screen and go straight to the start game menu?

[high wasp]

Double tap space and it should skip

[fossil fern]

Just beat the game as Loader. That was.... interesting. Was running with three purities. (Edit: FOUR purities.)

[ripe widget]

what is the point of prismatic trials?

[uncut hatch]

pre made challenges that everyone competes to see how fast they can beat the same one
other than that not much

[neon hatch]

cuz who needs proc chains amirite?

Yeah, I'd rather not give up an insane effective damage up thank you very much

i need some more relazed gameplay right now, time for engin

[half kraken]

alt primary is good as long as ur not running ion surge

better damage if you hit more than 1 target

[half kraken]

squid polyp tbh

i only find squid polyp good on

• more stacks than you'd expect on an otherwise easy scrap
• early stages (where seed is better too)

[dull ingot]

it's not worth it, tbh

[solar sparrow]

steam achievements though

[dull ingot]

fair

[zinc kernel]

squid polyp and pauldron depending on the character
lepton is also kinda ehhh

[dull ingot]

•) Squid polyp is bad, but it deals damage and is unique enough to warrant a slightly higher tier
•) Pauldron is extremely broken later on, and pretty balanced late loop 1 to early loop 2
•) Lepton is great and no one should ever have hated it

[analog cedar]

Lepton can be clutch but I still scrap most of the time

And once you start chaining pauldron does work

[cerulean rapids]

i mean yeah i guess squid polyp does technically do damage

doesn't mean it's better than leeching seed

leeching seed can be mid tier on like, half the characters imo

can't think of a situation i've ever kept polyp for more than scrap

at least leeching seed slightly helps until you scrap it (assuming you're not a character that uses it well)

[dull ingot]

another item in the same rarity as leeching seed does octuple the amount of healing on a survivor, with an equipment, or with 10 white items that are already sought after anyways

leeching seed is nothing special and never has been

[cerulean rapids]

i guess polyp is more unique than leeching seed yeah

but id rather have leeching seed in basically every scenario, i dunno

i also wouldn't say it's BY FAR worse lol

[dull ingot]

I would scrap leeching seed for a legendary immediately lol

even if I'm not going to bazaar that stage

[cerulean rapids]

same, as most characters

same for polyp

[dull ingot]

I keep polyps around for at least a stage

[cerulean rapids]

can't say i've heard many people say that one before

help me

i just got the game

[compact root]

what do you need help with? :o

you could always take a look at the lfg channels and ask for someone to walk you through the beginnings!

[crisp mango]

just install the goku mod

[upper rock]

Nah leaching seed is effective early game healing. It’s not really fair to compare it to harvesters scythe since getting 10 crit glasses isn’t easy and using the guaranteed crits equipment places your healing on a cool down. Also for someone like Mul t having one leaching seed is good because it isn’t affected by his lower proc coefficient.

[dull ingot]

with a single crit glasses, scythe out heals leeching seed

[compact root]

reliably?

[upper rock]

Not on characters with a proc coefficient lower than 1 which is a lot of characters.

[high wasp]

Crit is affected by proc co?

[upper rock]

No but the healing of harvesters scythe is

[high wasp]

Oh shoot I never knew that

[dull ingot]

that is literally not how proc coefficients work lol

[dull ingot]

... and thus so is leeching seed's healing?? my guy 🤦

scythe will always heal more than seed with 13% crit chance, which is only an additional +8% on top of having the scythe

which is less than a single crit glass

[high wasp]

Yeah since leeching and scythe both are changed by proc coefficient it doesn’t matter, with only 1 crit goggles scythe will heal more on average than leech, although a little unreliable still a good item that makes one of the strongest mechanics even stronger

[upper rock]

Yes but I am talking about having 1 leaching seed compared to 1 harvesters scythe

[dull ingot]

that wasn't what you were arguing a couple replies ago 🧐

[upper rock]

"with a single crit glasses, scythe out heals leeching seed" you said this and here you are speaking in the singular. You didn't say scythes out heal leaching seeds.

[dull ingot]

average one scythe heals about 0.5 health on hit, which I'd still take over seed, because that means with either a crit glass, a shatterspleen + predatory, or even an irradiant pearl, I would be able to out heal seed

[dull ingot]

you said this and here you are speaking in the singular.
what lol

You didn't say scythes out heal leaching seeds.
yeah, because I didn't need to. A single scythe outheals a leeching seed with a crit glass

[upper rock]

Not when a chracter has a proc coefficient below 1

[dull ingot]

not true

[upper rock]

Also I just want it to be clear that I don't think leaching seed is better than harvesters scythe, only that it's a good early game heal source

[dull ingot]

let's take bandit using shotgun. Not counting his passive, the two equations are

1*0.5 = 0.5 (leeching seed)
and
8*0.16*0.5 = 0.64 (scythe)

[upper rock]

leaching seed always rounds up to a minimum of 1

[dull ingot]

scythe will always outheal leeching seed regardless of the proc coefficient with a single crit glasses

[dull ingot]

visually, yes. mathematically, no

[high wasp]

Proc coefficient effects leech and harvester scythe so it doesn’t change anything since they are both the affected by same thing

[upper rock]

oh is that true, my bad then

[high wasp]

Shit I used both effect and affect in same sentence as a verb oops

[upper rock]

lol

[dull ingot]

no worries 🙃

[raven lichen]

Yea game doesn't like showing you 0s. That's why your max hp shows 1 even if you have <1. Rounding to 0 ever looks bad

[dull ingot]

that means you never truly die

[honest spindle]

I knew the game cheated me

[raven lichen]

Oh it becomes 0 when it's 0, but 0.000001 hp will still just show 1 hp, since if it said 0 you should be dead

[high wasp]

put a ror2 reference in my english assignment

[amber cargo]

"you should play on drizzle next time 💀"

[obtuse shale]

Drizzle with Command

[dull ingot]

any girls wanna come over and watch me play ror2 drizzle with command

[obtuse shale]

Only if I can bring my cozy blanket

[grim torrent]

hey, quick thing here. does the console version of RoR2 just not have the monster logs for the Lemurian, Elder Lemurian and Alloy Worship Unit?

[delicate heath]

do enemies scale endlessly? or do they just stop at lvl 99?

currently in my best acrid run

[raven lichen]

Enemies are level capped at 99, so individually they dont get stronger. The game keeps scaling a bit tho

[delicate heath]

in my ro2 career

i see thanks bro

[raven lichen]

The director gets more income to buy stuff. So if it would normally buy 6 lvl 99 elder lems, instead it buys a blazing one
Or if thats still too cheap for its income, it just spawns bossed or tier 2 elites

So each thing is stat capped* but you'll keep seeing more bossed and elites and stuff basically

[delicate heath]

Also do scavengers spawn on every stage? cause im hunting for them each time but i feel stupid

[crisp mango]

until it's just scavengers

[dull ingot]

does it look like that in the log book?

[raven lichen]

Nope but they are the most expensive thing haha, so eventually one will typically prespawn with the stage.

[delicate heath]

ahhh

[raven lichen]

It immediately just buys a big scav and scatters the remaining cash on everything else before you spawn in

[delicate heath]

cause i got 2 scavangers and i 1 shot it

[raven lichen]

Yea lol

[delicate heath]

pretty epic

[raven lichen]

Late game is wild.

[delicate heath]

i never made it to stage 15 before and its so fun

trying to unlock the 20 leaf clover thing

[crisp mango]

best done on commando without lunar items

[delicate heath]

really?

acrid shreds rn

[raven lichen]

He has a 20 stage unlock as well

[delicate heath]

ahhh

[raven lichen]

So its just 2 bird 1 stone and all

His is 20 stages no lunar items allowed, so if you do that naturally you also get just 20 stages.

[delicate heath]

im scared to get lunar items cause they all seem to just fuck you over with negatives or something

[raven lichen]

They have situations yea. Not always good

[delicate heath]

alright imma see if i can survive 4 more stages

[crisp mango]

some are extremely op in the right circumstances, most are pretty detrimental 95% of the time

[delicate heath]

wait one more question what do the elites with the huge ass circle around them do?

the huge green circle

or aura

[amber cargo]

celestine they make everything invisible

[delicate heath]

oh lol i thought it did something worse

alright cool

[raven lichen]

They also slow you like glacial enemies lol, but eh

Oh and both the and malachites have huge stat boosts. They are tier 2 elites so they replace 36 normal enemies

[ripe widget]

Which alternative skills are straight up better than the original the survivor comes with?

[crisp mango]

blight on acrid

nade on commando

diablo on captain

[haughty leaf]

looping on eclipse - advisable?

[crisp mango]

sawblades on mul-t

[delicate heath]

damn bro i already felt invincible but the aegis just.....made it a "god run"

actually insane

[grim torrent]

seems like it, there's only one page and none of the ones I'm missing seem to be any of those 3

[dull ingot]

interesting

[velvet ruin]

ok so me and my friend when we play multi player the game lags, not my character or anything, just the enemys like they stagger, and chests and drops/pickups seem to apper 3 to 5 seconds after i open a chest, also its only the person not hosting, when im hosting game runs perfectly fine but friend has enemy lag like im talking about but no character lag, when he hosts i get the enemy pickup and interable lag, but in singleplayer nothing happens has anyone else experienced this problem at all looking to fix it?

[raven lichen]

yes that is just bad internet connection on one or both of your ends

things lag and snap around as your game tries to predict what is happening for the host by simulating it locally, but then the host actually had something slightly different happen, or updates you slower than you updated yourself, so you rubber band around a bit. ror2 is peer to peer, so no servers inbetween

so the host experiences no networking related lag, but should see you chopping around a bit as well if you are a client

[summer canyon]

Okay, I’m kinda curious: does anybody else cheat in lunar coins?

[brave relic]

I used to in the past, but I removed then

[crisp mango]

no, i got 1.7 mil coins through legal means, just git gud

[delicate heath]

alright so i made it to stage 25

is there any reason to keep going?

[crisp mango]

go oneshot mithrix

[delicate heath]

bet

[grim torrent]

if you're not going for anything specific, then no.

[delicate heath]

yeah i just wanted to unlock the clover

cause i heard its OP

[crisp mango]

yer done here, now go get the commando achievement in a 3 hour run

[delicate heath]

this acrid run was 2 hours already lmao im not playing this for the rest of the day

[grim torrent]

I usually do longer runs to try and get monster logs to drop. stages 20 and 25 have Solus Control Units spawning as normal enemies so it's easier to farm them

bastards STILL don't seem to spawn as the teleporter boss despite that one bug getting fixed

[high wasp]

do not do that mithrix will troll you

[delicate heath]

i feel like i just wasted my life

mans just 1 shot me with a needle lmao

its whatever though i had fun

mythrix big gay

[lyric axle]

Me: Got the monster log for the Solus AI on my first kill.

[grim torrent]

sometimes luck strikes

I got the Grandfather's like that

[lyric axle]

Funnily enough, I still don't have the log for a lesser wisp.

[grim torrent]

I'm missing 6 logs (plus the 3 I mentioned above that don't seem to exist on xbox):
Irradiant Pearl, Solus Probe, Solus Control Unit, Aurelionite, Overloading Worm and the Sundered Grove enviroment log.

[summer seal]

hows my commando run so far https://i.imgur.com/MuVx3SN.png

9 more stages to go 20

do i really want to swap out a preon with 2 fuel cells for HUD?

[summer seal]

[crisp mango]

h o w

[honest spindle]

oh man that's unfortunate, happened to me a lot when I was trying to unlock the clover, was really infuriating lol but I finally got it and so will you

[dull ingot]

i dont even touch scavs except for the first one on the stage

and i can usually instakill them by the time they spawn

the only time they pose a threat is s6-8

[median gorge]

"try playing on drizzle"
(was already on drizzle)

LOL

[summer seal]

[dull ingot]

try monsoon

[long portal]

monsoon makes the gamer easier

go on monsoon
super easy bro

[grim torrent]

seriously though, Drizzle and Monsoon are pretty consistent, Rainstorm is jank

[dull ingot]

drizzle is consistent because you win every run

fucking rainstorm with armor and hp regen

[grim torrent]

Drizzle is consistent because it stays on each difficulty scaling longer, Monsoon is consistent because the scaling goes faster. Rainstorm's scaling is all jank

[long portal]

i just realised why r2 is called risk of rain 2

[dull ingot]

r2 modman?

[dull ingot]

that makes no sense

drizzle is just too easy
monsoon is just hard enough

[long portal]

i just call it r2

or ror2

[dull ingot]

thats dumb everyones gonna thnk you mean r2modman

[long portal]

im too lazy to type the full thing

[dull ingot]

just call it ror2 its not that hard

[long portal]

lol

i do use r2modman tho

[dull ingot]

ook

[dull ingot]

rainstorm you just play slightly slower than monsoon and slighty faster than drizzle
it might be jank for the speed you play but thats it

[grim torrent]

pretty much

what doesn't make sense though is the spawn rate for Cleansing Pools

I thought those were supposed to be for a player to get rid of lunar items they didn't want, why the hell do they only show up on 3 of the 10 enviroments? and they're not even guaranteed to show up on those!

[dull ingot]

because lunars are supposed to be a gamble, they dont want you to have a free get out of jail card

[grim torrent]

far as I know lunars are supposed to be trade-offs, not gambles. hell you don't even pick them up automatically when you open a pod.
but if you didn't like a new one you were testing out then you gotta keep going and looping until you get one of the stages that can have one and hope one spawned.

they could have put a fixed one on that stone arch in Sky Meadows. that way the earlier you decide to mess with lunars the longer you have to hold out for a guaranteed removal.

[brave relic]

they are supposed to be trade-offs, but few are the "you get this good thing BUT"

most of them have a downside that nearly doesn't exist, or has a downside that is simply too big for it to be good, or it's positive effect is just bad

[grim torrent]

well to be fair most of them are balanced by themselves, like:

• double damage for half health. pretty balanced if there weren't builds that could make you heal on every hit/kill
• stat buff while the item is active but with a change for a stacking stat debuff whenever it's not active. pretty balanced, but there are builds that leave the item always active.
• Burn enemies for a lot of damage but burn yourself as well for less damage. would be balanced if there weren't swarms of enemies that could tank the burn and kill you in seconds depending on the difficulty/run timer.

[brave relic]

helfire isn't balanced

[dull ingot]

mercenary helfire

[brave relic]

the self damage is barely noticesable, plus it can definitaly kill most enemies with extreme easy

[dull ingot]

helfire + transc

[brave relic]

plus, it's effect is 100% negated with a singular white item, and it's a white item you'd generally want anyways

[grim torrent]

wait, 24x damage?

did they buff it or was it always like this?

[dull ingot]

helfire is goood

[brave relic]

always like this

[grim torrent]

huh... could have swore it was less...

[dull ingot]

its good

[brave relic]

some other not balanced lunar items are and gets a special mention

hooks can straight up out damage any m2 you can imagine, and the charge mechanic is just for range, not damage

brittle crown is like, kinda bad for the late game but it doesn't really matter, it's really good for early game and it has the incredible synergy of

gets a special mention since it's bad if you get it like, mid run, but if you get it early it can be pretty good

plus no downside for stacking it

there's also purity, but it's lesser on that op scale since it kills your procs

no downside for stacking it though

[dull ingot]

2 transc completely negates shaped glass

[brave relic]

oh, and I just talked about strong lunars in there

I can talk about the bad lunars if you want

[grim torrent]

let me think... has way to bad a downside for a meager upside, tends to be weaker than most Specials if you're not running or full Heretic, literally activates already crippling you

[dull ingot]

purity is good on some survivors and bad on others

effigy is ass

essence is good on captain, mult nail gun, commando, etc

[grim torrent]

true, though their normal Specials tend to be more powerful (unless you're running Grenades on Commando)

[brave relic]

grenades are better than suppressive fire

[dull ingot]

yeah

[brave relic]

harder to hit but much better

suppressive fire can actually slightly cripple your dps depending on the situations, it is that bad

[grim torrent]

I prefer Supressive Fire for the long range stun

[brave relic]

either way, some nearly 100% balanced lunar items are

corpsebloom falls off kinda fast in the late game, if it gets a bit of a nerf I think it could be balanced enough

[grim torrent]

anyway, beyond that the rest of the lunars are pretty balanced. is just a secret boss ticket, gives you extra combat shrines, is busted but depends on your equipment, and are pure chaos...

[brave relic]

mercurial is a nice idea, and it feels sometimes too strong or too weak

but in the general idea, it's coward's shaped glass, don't really know what kind of change it could it get to make it more consistent

oh yeah forgot about this thing

suuuuure it's decent on the early game, but without a reliabe way to remove lunars, it's just, chaos

I also forgot about gesture huh

it only has a downside with like, 2 or 3 equipments

I can only remember recycler and crowdfunder from the top of my head

[grim torrent]

is one

[brave relic]

is also a fun idea, but it deals both too little damage to you, and too little damage to enemies

plus remove the fucking filter, I can't see shit when someone activates it in multiplayer

[brave relic]

I remembered too

if you get near perma egg, it's tough to get out of it

and egg in general is just bad to have automatically activate

[grim torrent]

too if you don't have many fuel cells. you whiff that thing and it's gone for a long time even if it's cut down by half

[grim torrent]

funny putting it on a drone though

[brave relic]

equipments drones are the best drones and you can't change my mind on it

[grim torrent]

that they are

I find it funny that the wiki recommends putting on an Equipment Drone

[brave relic]

ascend your drone to a higher plane

[grim torrent]

while on the topic, I hope they add the Elite Equipments to the logbook, I want the proof to back my bragging when I get them all

so far I've only gotten two drops. and they were both

[brave relic]

I've gottem them all, except the perfected one

[grim torrent]

nice

hell I don't think I've even seen a perfected elite spawn. not surprising considering they're exclusive to the cunar chimeras but still...

[brave relic]

you'll know despair once you have to deal with a perfected flying chimera

especially on eclipse

[half kraken]

commando nades complement his kit way better

due to his playstyle he has not as much use for guaranteed stun as him in ror1, merc, arti etc

supressive was designed around primarily being a " shoot harder " button, but that aspect is gone since his much needed m1 buff

now nades are just so much better, better burst, some aoe, band proc etc

[brave relic]

he has arrived

[half kraken]

@brave relic i think is actually kinda balanced if you blame all it's problems on lmao

i use tonic as a general use equip sometimes and its

funnily actually quite okay balance wise

[brave relic]

yeah tonic could use a nerf, but without gesture, it is decently balanced

[half kraken]

Unironically i'd maybe slightly buff tonic duration or whatever and increase cooldow

maybe cut off tonic cooldown lowering while its active

[dull ingot]

gets a special mention since it's bad if you get it like, mid run, but if you get it early it can be pretty good
what lol

[craggy crag]

fwiw r2modman does also mean risk of rain 2 mod manager

[half kraken]

trans is good unless you loop

theres like no actual downside to grabbing trans unless you have something like full crit scythe or a ton of medkot

but even then being able to scrap every healing item is uhh

[dull ingot]

"trans is good"
damn right they are 😎

[merry karma]

good take from Mr dexterity

[dull ingot]

lmfao

[high wasp]

I do eclipse a lot and oh my god transcendence helps so much during it

one of my favorite items probably

[full gale]

"Spongebob who's gonna be euphoric about seeing Transcendence?!?"

"OH BOY TRANSCENDENCE!"

OH BOY AN ITEM THAT CHANGES HOW MY HEALTHBAR WORKS

[high wasp]

♥️

[merry karma]

[half kraken]

it is

the more skilled you are the more broken strong it is

[dull ingot]

It’s used for a lot of other unity games so I’d think it’s not

But you’re ebkr so idk but I’ve never heard someone call ror2 “r2”

[shy vale]

risk of risk 2

[high wasp]

Originally it was only ror2 but lots of other games have been added

[craggy crag]

but I literally make it

it was originally only for RoR2.
ror2modmanager was taken, so r2modman was used instead. It also tied in with R2API for example

[dull ingot]

Ah ok

[barren anchor]

Funny shrine of order

[high wasp]

do it

[dull ingot]

do it

[barren anchor]

Wait it didn’t send hold up

[dull ingot]

how

[modest trout]

Good lord

[barren anchor]

First run as le Fem Paladin did a 4 players solo

Past first loop it’s easy claps due to all of the quad green items from bosses plus void fields

Also got an Irradiant Pearl pog

I would’ve laughed if that was what the Shrine of Order duped

[high wasp]

33 irradiant pearls 😎

[barren anchor]

If only

[dull ingot]

410 kjaros

[barren anchor]

[dull ingot]

what's that, like 164000% total

minimum

[barren anchor]

Somethin like that

[amber cargo]

frost relic should be ror1 frost relic so it can just spawn billions of projectiles

[barren anchor]

Bro I wish, I would much prefer that over current RoR2 fr

[dull ingot]

ah, so it'll be 492000% base minimum

and then just 123000% total

[balmy cloud]

oh dang this is what gd1 was intended to be, neat

anyway back to gd1

[crisp mango]

So about the Holodomor...

[balmy cloud]

What about it? also what is it?

[crisp mango]

that's a gd1 topic

[balmy cloud]

I'll ask when everyone isn't sleepin lol

[high wasp]

just your normal huntress run 🙂

[crisp mango]

not E8 therefore invalidated

[high wasp]

FUCK

[summer seal]

ok im done trying to double up on a 20 stage run

whos actually fun/good to do it

bc ive been doing nothing but commando

[high wasp]

i think huntress is actually really fun to loop with, especially with her alt primary that fires 6 shots per crit

[ripe widget]

https://imgur.com/GVVWFin This was SO hard. Am I doing something wrong? Around stage 15 i would have to fire on one enemy for 30 seconds to kill it. The screen is FILLED with enemies so I ended up just kiting them and focusing on charging the teleporter. I was able to kill bosses easier than the normal enemies.

[brave relic]

well first you were going as base mando which isn't the best at anything

second I can see you have some kinda bad items going, like and squid polyps, you might not know about scrappers, those are very good

second I also see you have died on the final stage, the final stage is really really tough on looping

[compact root]

(if you grab a role in #role-assignment you can post images without having to use imgur, also!)

[ripe widget]

Thanks. I was working on his unlocks.
I know about scrappers, but I am not 100% sure which items are the best so far.
I also didn't know how my only red item worked. Evidently I needed to press E to stomp.

[half kraken]

stop woolie rushingg

loot more

[half kraken]

i wish her alt primary was actually better than other character's m1s when at full crit

[ripe widget]

Am I suppose to just know how to "grab a role"? I am sure it's explained in here somewhere, but I do not see it.

[half kraken]

but yes its n1 way to fix huntress' only problem aka low damage

[high wasp]

i scrapped like 20 or 30 items lol

[brave relic]

just use t! selfrole (it has to be grouped together, I did not group it together otherwise the bot would be summoned here)

[half kraken]

huntress is a good survivor for eclipse

excluding the broken ones like lodr and mult, she was the second easiest for me so far, only behind artificer (full default arti)

[compact root]

yeah, just use t!selfrole (role), or you can just write "t!selfrole" and it will give you a list to pick from 👍

[brave relic]

I marked the few items that are more of a must scrap thing, polyp being the only one where you can kinda think about it because having something to distract enemies is nice

I'll mark with blue the more situational items

[half kraken]

polyp is totally insta scrap tier

depending on situation and survivor, topaz, warbanner, lepton are buge cotenders for insta scrap

also stealthkit sux ass imo

[ripe widget]

How do you even get 4 debuffs on an enemy at a time?

[half kraken]

there are many items that do debuffs and most survivors have some innate debuff

chronobauble
tri tip
gasoline
runalds
helfire burn
shattering justice
etc

[brave relic]

leeching seed is only okay on characters that mostly like to hold m1

ghor's tome is good but only in the early game

death's mark is nice but it is hard to make it proc

lepton daisy is also nice for the early game but sucks later on unless you have a

stealth kit is meh

and genesis loop, not that great but it can definitaly do it's job, just, send it off a boss item printer if you see a decent one

[half kraken]

ghors tome is consistently good unless u loop

[brave relic]

yeah

[ripe widget]

well I was trying for the 20 stage loop unlock so I guess I should have scrapped it

I had like 4.5 million gold on the last stage before I died

[barren anchor]

I almost always get rid of my cautious slug once I have a god run rolling because at that point you just have enough health leech to not worry about having to run away and heal

And with that same goes to bungus unless I’m playing Engi because everybody knows Engi doesn’t scrap bungus

[brave relic]

unless battle engi gang

[barren anchor]

This is very true

I also just always scrap meat and shield gen because you practically don’t need them at all.

[brave relic]

shield gen is nice but it is not needed for the tank builds

[barren anchor]

Unless you become a funny haha beeble with transcendence

[brave relic]

rose bucklers do the job

[barren anchor]

I just don’t see the point in shield once you have the slightest bit of health leech

Unless you’re going for a short run, ie Eclipse straight to Mithrix or somethin, and don’t want to yoink a corpsebloom

[high wasp]

i love the vagrant weener ❤️

please bless me with a splatterspleen

[barren anchor]

I very rarely ever get a good run with a shatterspleen drop

My fem paladin god run earlier I got two to drop but it took 4 player difficulty and a shrine of the mountain, before that run I can’t remember the last time I got a shatterspleen to drop
