[dull ingot]

no, I just find it way easier to get a bot than it is to set up extra parameters that are unnecessary with a bot

[dire rivet]

dyno is a bot no?

why wouldnt we just use a function on a bot we already use rather than adding new bots

[dull ingot]

that's fair

I don't even know if Dyno has the exact stuff I'm talking about, though

if it works, it works, I guess

[proud stream]

@dire rivet Pardon the ping, but the new announcement sounds like something that should be put into the #rules too. Any newcomers might otherwise miss it

The man got muted for the joke lmao

[patent pumice]

nah, he got muted for the reason that uncles said in #announcements

[half kraken]

Other than making discussion hard and pointless for no reason, there are ways to fix the problem more conveniently

For example what about a basic level system that lifts these restrictions from people who have some degree of activity in the server

people that just joined and sends nitroglycerin = muted for a bit and notified in dms, can just dm mod for unmute

people that are notably active and real users = can say nitroglycerin without issues

[solar sparrow]

gd2 is what gd1 was supposed to be

lame

[summer canyon]

I’m leaving a dislike on your videos that have no effect on you

[solar sparrow]

no plz only i will know about that 😭 😭 😭

[summer canyon]

I sure did get you there didn’t I

[solar sparrow]

i looked to see if there was a way to make it so you could see dislikes and there isnt

i honestly would enable them if i could

[summer canyon]

Some you tubers make it so you can manually edit them

Like, in the description it says the current dislike count

[solar sparrow]

fuck that tho

[summer canyon]

You have two videos shut up /j

[solar sparrow]

not dedicated enough

[summer canyon]

I got you nerd

Just kidding

[solar sparrow]

i got half a script and 10 mins of video just sitting there for months

also i have more than 2, they're just unlisted and not funny 😎

[summer canyon]

I could’ve sworn you had another lore video

Was it just those 2?

[solar sparrow]

yep

planet petrichor is no where near finished and i lack the motivation to finish it

i dont wanna talk about what we already know i wanna talk about the void!!!!!!!!!!

[summer canyon]

It’s a big undertaking

Maybe you could talk about what we know about the void and what we’ve theorized is next?

[solar sparrow]

meh... its basically just rewriting the logs to be more detailed

[summer canyon]

That could be a fun thing lore-wise

Yeah that’s fair

[solar sparrow]

i could do a short or something, since we dont know much

i reached talking about the imps and my motivation crumbled

[summer canyon]

I still like the theory that the UES[REDACTED] is redacted because nobody remembers it due to the Void Reavers stripping all the memory of it for information

[solar sparrow]

they're not even that complicated i just didnt like anything i wrote

[summer canyon]

Like, imagine an entire fucking ship just sitting there in the void

[solar sparrow]

i can and i want ittt

[summer canyon]

Me too

But I’m gonna make sure my hype doesn’t get too big

[solar sparrow]

im sure whatever lore we do find out i will be happy with it

unless theres literally nothing apart from what we already know

[summer canyon]

Tharson is the next survivor

[solar sparrow]

(unless unless its just a confirmation on what we theorized to be true)

[summer canyon]

There, new name

[solar sparrow]

a new boss/ ending has to have some impact on the story

[summer canyon]

I bet it’s gonna be something with the void

[solar sparrow]

doubt it

[summer canyon]

…okay, potshot theory

[solar sparrow]

its probably n'kuhana

[summer canyon]

Imagine instead of just the moon it’s the entirety of PV that gets voided

[summer canyon]

No no, you see Acrid becomes a Lemurian

[solar sparrow]

but hes already one

[summer canyon]

GD-1 is the next enemy

[summer canyon]

I hate you I hate you I hate you get out of my head get out of my head get out of my head

[solar sparrow]

you defeat the final boss and it plays a cutscene where gd1 gets deleted and you can no longer see the chat (it is visible to those that dont know)

anyways it do be 11pm and im away on holiday at 9am

see ya

[summer canyon]

Adios amigo

[burnt path]

one shotted by funny golem while attempting to do the shaped glass moment

[silent sundial]

Yo i heard they are introducing a new item based on the green crates things from crash bandicoot. Whatever they're called

[upper rock]

🐪🐫

[silent sundial]

Nah not camel crates. Sometimes that starts with an N

Nos?

[upper rock]

Oh my bad

[karmic rover]

btw has there been any thoughts on what the new survivors might be?

[high wasp]

Most popular idea is Sniper

im part of the Tharson train but i dont think he'll be added

[karmic rover]

ooo it would be interesting how sniper would be integrated

tharson?

[high wasp]

he's a guy in the lore and is basically the body guard of a researcher

he's awesome and punches beetle guards to death

https://riskofrain2.fandom.com/wiki/Lore?s=tharson

[karmic rover]

oooh that guy

interesting take

[high wasp]

i just think he's cool

if he's not added im sueing hopoo games

[tranquil mist]

Commando is weak. Really hate the early game DPS, also hate the mid game lack of mobility.

[mystic wind]

The sniper mod is good enough☹️

[high torrent]

yeah and
get gud

[tranquil mist]

pfft

[dull ingot]

it's almost 100% not sniper

[dull ingot]

skill issue

commando is fucking brilliant at everything you need to be good at

[high torrent]

mfw that railgun is actually hyperthreader

[high wasp]

ik im just saying it's a popular idea

[dull ingot]

interesting

[mystic wind]

The only right survivor is captain

[high wasp]

tharson

[tranquil mist]

I think I prefer getting shitfaced over playing with such a pita weakling character. And I really hate getting shitfaced.

[mystic wind]

All other survivors should be removed

[high wasp]

commando is fucking awesome

ever used frag grenades?

[mystic wind]

Captain scales above goku

[high wasp]

captain these nuts

[mystic wind]

Commando this dick in your mouth

[high wasp]

damnit

[mystic wind]

Had to do it to ya 🤷‍♂️

[dull ingot]

who's your favorite character

[tranquil mist]

I've been playing commando all day trying to unlock everything besides tactical slide all in one run. Without artifacts it was pure nightmare, with command artifact it's still shit because around 20mins some shit like elite elder lumurian just drops from the sky behind me and one shots.

[dull ingot]

damn, my typing is ass with gloves on

try to stay warm for 10 seconds... 😔

[tranquil mist]

My most played is Artificer.

2nd is Bandit.

[dull ingot]

oh, you're an artificer main

nice

[high wasp]

😏👍

[dull ingot]

artificer plays differently than every other character, so the fact that you like her explains why you think commando is bad

[tranquil mist]

I recently started playing all the other characters some more, unlocking secondary abilities and trying to figure them out. As much trouble as I've had with learning mobility on Loader it's still infinitely easier to play than Commando.

[high torrent]

\🤨

[high wasp]

🤨

[high torrent]

see guys loader ain't braindead easy got that learning curve

[tranquil mist]

I just set the bar too high, I look at a speedrun where a guy just basically flies through the map with hooks.

Then I smash face first into a wall and die.

If anything is braindead it's engi.

[mystic wind]

Captain captain captain 🥰🥰🤤🤤

[high torrent]

tru

[high wasp]

that's why engi+ mobile turrets+ harpoons is best

[high torrent]

try engi with

[tranquil mist]

3 scavengers on stage 8...

getting trapped in a cave with one sure is fun

run ender right there

45min run too, thought maybe I dragged it out too long but it comes out to under 6min per stage, maybe the game just wants me to suffer today

pretty sure I've had to go for well over an hour long run before to start seeing 3 or more scavs

[high torrent]

lmao I struggle to see more than one scav on stage 9 with even higher time

that's some huge luck

[dull ingot]

Literally true, but loader is a very close second

[dull ingot]

Lmao dude I hit 10 minutes per stage easily

[solar sparrow]

Engi is more engaging than huntress change my mind

[solar sparrow]

Mobile turrets 🤢 🤢

[high wasp]

no lmao

[zinc vigil]

engi is less engaging than literally anything

[solar sparrow]

Ok u coked up merc main

[zinc vigil]

im not even a merc main

i dont main anything i just think the color is cool and merc is fun

[solar sparrow]

U disagreed so ur opinion is invalid anyway

[dull ingot]

Disagree, however he is stronger

[zinc vigil]

disagree = wrong

[solar sparrow]

Yes

[proper yacht]

Did they patch the cheese to skip up to Mythrax

[high wasp]

Which one lmao

And no, they didn’t. They haven’t released a patch for a while

[dull ingot]

no, that's intentional

[smoky dust]

^

in the speedrun the devs commented over a while back on YT they said they left that in on purpose

could of easily gated the fight

sooo I'm revisiting the game after a long time and am trying mul-t out more, do ppl still run double rebar with retool?

[dull ingot]

yes

[dull ingot]

you just have to get a syringe or two

they nerfed it slightly and 1 syringe negates the nerf. Two to get a better outcome

[smoky dust]

ok tyvm yeah I saw a vid explaining the one syringe but wasn't sure of any changes since then
is more than two worth it, just had around 7 and didn't really notice a huge difference after the original syringe or two

might just be me though

[proper yacht]

Oh. I did it, and it didn’t work

[dull ingot]

no, it's really just 1 necessary, 2 to be sure

the whole point is that they changed the switch time or something, so you actually have to wait longer, and one syringe reduces it enough that the "wait longer" becomes short enough to be able to switch back and forth immediately

[dull ingot]

what method did you use?

[smoky dust]

sweet, appreciate it

[burnt path]

🤔

[proper yacht]

I just floated up there with artificer. Used her ion surge. It worked before. I also had a friend who was st the bottom. Was that the reason?

[dull ingot]

yeah

everyone needs to be in the arena in order for the boss fight to start

[proper yacht]

I see thanks

[burnt path]

: o an artificer enjoyer

[white phoenix]

I'm very new to the game. Just got it gifted to me yesterday. It seems the meta is already really advanced.
Where can I start so I'm not just wandering around like an idiot?

[high wasp]

check pins in #ror2-game-questions there are a lot of useful tips

if you ask around in there, lots of people will be eager to help!

[fallow depot]

you will learn as you go, but dont be afraid to ask for tips

following achievements can be a good way to go if you feel a bit lost too

[burnt path]

meta ? wat meta

all u need is funny moon lizard's back alley drugs

[proper yacht]

Just experiment and all will show the way

[burnt path]

be sure to grab any ATG on sight

[forest frigate]

Hey do I need a special role to post images?

I was gonna ask which item I should get in the bazaar

[smoky dust]

I think you can if you just select a class role even

[forest frigate]

Ok

Ok so which one should I get?

[smoky dust]

one convergence (one on the left) is pretty nice

all the way left

[forest frigate]

Ok, this’ll definitely help, since I’m going for obliteration and I’m starting to get to higher difficulties

[smoky dust]

hooks of heresy (2nd one from the right) will prob be more useful than your secondary

or 3rd one from the right can't tell

the one that looks like a fish ;p

[forest frigate]

Cool

[smoky dust]

this fight took forever xD not a single syringe either kept getting damned backup magazine lol
carried by strides of heresy and afterburner ;p

and of course the god itself, ATG

miiight of got behemoth as my first item too xd

[dull ingot]

from left to right the items are

•) Focused Convergence [Faster teleporter charge time, but smaller teleporter radius]
•) Helfire Tincture [Create an AoE that burns enemies, but it also burns you] (super strong with razorwire)
•) Hooks of Heresy [replaces your secondary with a whirlwind thing that does a decent amount of damage and procs well]
•) Effigy of Grief [Puts down a statue that cripples you, your team mates, and enemies within the radius] (very not worth it, unless you're going for secrets that require pressure plates to be pressed)
•) Shaped glass [double damage, but half health] (super worth it if you are good at not getting hit)

[forest frigate]

I already left the bazaar but thank you very much

[smoky dust]

ooh never thought of hellfire and razorwire

oh wait that's what that one dude ran in the speedrun

I think

[dull ingot]

it's also good with and as both make the damage super small

[dull ingot]

nice 👌

[smoky dust]

yeah makes sense

[burnt path]

hellfire and razorwires deletes everything tbh

[smoky dust]

yeah def wanna try that

dude, void field enemies with teddy bear is tilting xd

now I know how they feel

next time I see them with teddies in there as artificer I'm leaving

[dull ingot]

yeah, 900% dps is quite epic

[burnt path]

ever tried void field guardian orbs with 5x crowbar and 5x goat hoof ?

it aint happy times

[dull ingot]

void crowbar should be "deal more damage when you're at low health"

it entices a new play style that is still as powerful as crowbars, if not moreso, but forces you to live on the edge

[burnt path]

*glass artifact noises

[dull ingot]

lol true

and ironically, this would be super bad with glass artifact, since you're always one shot away from dying anyways

[full gale]

Merry xmas eve gd2

[cerulean rapids]

[cerulean rapids]

that'd be cool as rex

[merry karma]

deal less damage to enemies above 90% health

[burnt path]

Quick question

If iinstalled storm mod for more items, how should i delete the mod and make the game vanilla again

[high torrent]

you launch the game through steam

or click launch vanilla in r2modman

[burnt path]

Lemme try the first one

How do u use the r2modman if havent install that or such

[burnt path]

launched from steam but the BeplnEx still load the mods

[clever beacon]

Yeah if you've manually installed bepinex/R2API and mods. Do all the steps in reverse to get rid of all of those files.

And then after that use a mod manager.

There is no reason to manually instal mods for this game.

[burnt path]

aight, made it

tracked down the files and just deleted the storm mod dll file and done

[burnt path]

mom....im scared

[dull ingot]

That sucks

We do not speak of that here

how do you get all achievements but the calm is your last one

[solar sparrow]

It's a little technique called doing a bit of trolling

[high wasp]

Pheonix just really hates mithrix

[lyric rain]

uh

which one

i also have the option of a ukelele

[winged briar]

i say runald because i am biased

i like when number go down by big number

[gritty totem]

I did it because I thought it'd be cool to have my final achiv as that one lmao

That's the entire reason

[quiet swan]

time for more achievements to be added after the DLC, completely messing that up

[dull ingot]

In order to get every skin, you'd need to beat the game 11 times on monsoon tho

[dull ingot]

Kjaro's is far better, but getting a single runalds won't hurt

[quiet swan]

beat the game or obliterate

obliterating doesnt count as beating the game

[dull ingot]

Obliterating is beating the game

[quiet swan]

not for the calm

[dull ingot]

Ayo 🤨

[quiet swan]

you need to beat mithrix for the calm

[dull ingot]

Oic

[quiet swan]

yea

[high wasp]

or obliterate, The Calm achievement is just for Mithrix

holy shit I only have 2 more eclipse runs to go till I'm done with all 88

[smoky brook]

is loader op

[solar sparrow]

Loader is very strong yes

[smoky brook]

what is better charged or thunder

[solar sparrow]

I prefer charged but that's my opinion

[high wasp]

yeah it's kind of a preference whichever one's better

[smoky brook]

charged gang

what about grapple? i like the default

[high wasp]

spiked is better tbh

[solar sparrow]

Most ppl would say default, I play with spiked

[smoky brook]

Grappling onto brass contraptions and wisps is stuff is super useful i mo

[solar sparrow]

Yeah only thing I dislike about spiked is brass contraptions being pulled to you

[high wasp]

the stunning ability of spiked gauntlet is also very helpful tho

i dont understand why brass boys get pulled to you either, but besides that it's very good

[smoky brook]

Tru

what abt thunderslam v pylon

[solar sparrow]

Again, preference, I dont like pylon and I love slamming the ground

[smoky brook]

yuhh

do u guys know about the charged + thunderslam combo

[high wasp]

i love thunderslam

[dull ingot]

What do you mean?

Primary skill is flying needles, secondary skill is an AoE DoT attack, and utility makes you go flying and heals you!

I think it's REX alright ;)

[brave venture]

Rex utility doesn’t heal em

[dull ingot]

I thought you were talking about charged perferator lol

Was trying so hard to figure out what "thunder perforator" was if not charged

[dull ingot]

Alt does

[brave venture]

Don’t have it your argument is invalid

[dull ingot]

Lol

[gritty totem]

Even more fun

[thin blaze]

Would the game be better if it was procedurally generated?

[dull ingot]

it sort of already is

not the stages themselves, but all the chests, shrines, teleporters, enemies (to an extent), and items are procedurally generated

[high torrent]

(he doesn't know what procedurally generated means)

[dull ingot]

I know what it means 🙄

that's literally why there are seeds in the game

it's also why prismatic trials is its own game mode as opposed to normal gameplay

[plain plinth]

If you mean the levels, I'd say probably not.

There's already a minor amount of variation with some stages having a bridge or jump pad to an harder to reach area, or the swamp map having a wall sometimes appear in a couple spots.

I like the style of how the levels currently are.

[merry karma]

i wonder if the opinion depends on hours put into the game

[plain plinth]

How do you mean?

[covert spade]

loader.....................................

my beloved

[high torrent]

even those small swaps feel rather just not enough
and with drastic variant changes like with titanic plains and distant roost that stale feel could be extended twofold at least

it looks so good in lively world

[merry karma]

it's possible in ror2 too, but probably laggy?

Oh I just have it disabled entirely

[torpid tangle]

hello

[solar sparrow]

:)!

[patent pumice]

disable that text to emoji

Oic

[amber cargo]

/sx means sexual 🤨

[solar sparrow]

Yes and?

[grim plover]

man just transcribed a chess game

[buoyant bay]

it’s not about people being more or less dense in recent years, tone indicators in general are just to help neurodivergent people better understand tone in text

many neurodivergent people struggle with tone even in voice so having it be a blunt thing helps for some

[summer canyon]

^. I need them because it helps me a lot to understand. I often take everything in a really aggressive tone, but the indicators help me understand that people mean no harm

[elfin wigeon]

Not learning all the tone indicators though

[summer canyon]

From my experience the main ones you need to know are:

/j (joking)
/hj (half-joking)
/srs (serious)
/s (sarcastic)

But to be fair, nobody should be faulting each other. It's really easy to search up also: https://toneindicators.carrd.co/

Like, I won't get mad if people don't know them yet. It's kinda new

[merry karma]

I think it's kinda stupid /srs

it's much more funny to not know the tone sometimes /hj

[solar sparrow]

I'm never joking unless I am

[merry karma]

just get the joke /j

😄 /srs

[summer canyon]

It’s funny to not know I’ll admit, but sometimes it’ll help

[solar sparrow]

/sx /srs /j

[summer canyon]

I mean you don’t have to throw it onto every message

But hey, you have the idea down

[solar sparrow]

I am joking tho, I do understand the importance of it

[summer canyon]

Thank you though

It genuinely helps some people like me

[sour edge]

hmm interesting

[dull ingot]

just get the joke dumbass
/srs (joke)

ight uh

i'll go there lol

[summer canyon]

🤨

[ashen wraith]

How many new enemies have been shown off for the dlc?

[merry karma]

5 iirc

[ashen wraith]

Which ones?

[high wasp]

Gup, the green bug, blind pest, rat(shown but not named), and void jailer

[green topaz]

well, 6

let me get the image

these dead guys

[high wasp]

They kind of look like the rat goobers but also look like Kiwi birds

[green topaz]

someone said they look like tilted and now i cant unsee

[dull ingot]

LOL

[high wasp]

Because the rats do have a similar body and are bipedal

[solar sparrow]

They do kinda look like the rats bc they got that long tongue thing

[ashen wraith]

What rats? Does anyone have a pic?

[high wasp]

[high wasp]

the green enemy in this clip

[dull ingot]

https://youtu.be/oveLtR5Z42E?t=155

timestamp to see more of them

[high wasp]

what?

[high wasp]

those are the blind pests

[dull ingot]

oh, are they not the same thing 🤔

[solar sparrow]

No, the rats are ground enemies

[dull ingot]

interesting

[solar sparrow]

But they are on the same map

[dull ingot]

the fact that two new enemies are not void related but share a similar color is a cool place to start when talking about lore for that new map

[high wasp]

they're just both very green it seems

nkuhana's retort/malachite stuff are also green

[solar sparrow]

I talked abt a few stuff in #theorycrafting a while back, that maybe the ticks (those spinny bug enemies) could be the true parasitic influence of the Aphelians, since we just assumed it was the tar people

[ashen wraith]

I wonder if claymen are coming back?

[high wasp]

that'd be cool

[ashen wraith]

I mean I feel like they should be back right? Considering that their area is getting added.

[ashen wraith]

I’m not sure if those purple crabs are enemies

[high wasp]

he's talking about the enemies in top left

[green topaz]

look whats around the crab

[ashen wraith]

OH LOL

Did not see that

What even are those?

[solar sparrow]

Probably the rats or a new enemy

We don't even know if they're rats that's just the closest thing we can call them

[ashen wraith]

Hmmm very interesting

[solar sparrow]

See how they have those tongue beaks things

[ashen wraith]

They look similar, but why are the dead ones white?

[solar sparrow]

Lighting? I really don't know 😅 it could be a new enemy I guess

Maybe they turn white when killed

[ashen wraith]

Interesting lol

We’ll just have to wait and see

[brave venture]

Stage variant perhaps

[solar sparrow]

Oh uncles, deliver onto us the řâț

I'll just post what I said here

we just assumed that the dune people were infected by the tar, since they are dune people and worship 'parasitic influences', and the tar is in a desert and infects people with a parasite. though it seems that being green skinned/furred with glowing green something is common in the sanctuary which could be a symptom of an infection. as we saw with the flying pests and the rat enemy (is it called the vermin?)
These ticks could be how the dune people got infected so a new enemy might be a humanoid thats green and glowing (if the dunepeople are humanoid at all)
also flying "pests", rats or the "vermin", and maybe ticks? seems a lot like ways to spread a infection

These are the "ticks" or so we call them

[brave venture]

I always thought the aphelians became/were the clay men

[solar sparrow]

Yes that's what I just said

[brave venture]

You said that they got infected with the Green

[high wasp]

next dev thoughts we get the logbooks for new enemies lmao

[solar sparrow]

"we just assumed that the dune people were infected by the tar, since they are dune people and worship 'parasitic influences', and the tar is in a desert and infects people with a parasite."

[brave venture]

Misread my bad

[solar sparrow]

Please please please please please please please please please please please please please I will go feral

[brave venture]

One log book that's cut halfway off

[solar sparrow]

The aphelians are the-

[brave venture]

They're She.

[solar sparrow]

Finally

[brave venture]

We've done it

[solar sparrow]

the corpse is glowing, after all

Well, radiant

/j

A log mentions a unnamed she and theorycrafting goes feral

[high wasp]

the only logbooks i want are the logbooks for elite aspects

you would just get them after killing the elite for whatever aspect

i want to read "her biting embrace"

[solar sparrow]

I reckon a log on the aspects would be some convoluted poem that's too vague to gather anything from it

[green topaz]

if logs are gonna be added, then its inevitable that their drop chances will raise

[solar sparrow]

Or will they?

[high wasp]

or you would just get the log after killing the elite

i dont think devs are planning to do more with Elite Aspects, besides adding new ones with new elites

it would be cool if drop rates were increased, they became items, but you could still only hold 1 aspect at a time

[dull ingot]

Or.. and hear me out...
#ror2-feedback-and-ideas message

[dull ingot]

Maybe unstackable, but not just one at a time

[green topaz]

i am in physical pain

[charred mesa]

Is the game gonna get any cheaper in the future or is it at its cheapest ?
I m thinking whether to buy it now or wait for future

[high torrent]

40% rn is the cheapest I've seen

but when it goes on sales it often goes on 40%

you can try coming back in February for dlc

[solar sparrow]

Or March

[merry karma]

buy it now

[high wasp]

yes

[solar sparrow]

Yeah would recommend to buy it now

[high torrent]

spendspendspendspend

[charred mesa]

I think it isnt gonna get any cheaper anyway

How good is the co op in this game?

[high wasp]

coop on PC is very fun

with friends, I haven't had any experience with randoms

[merry karma]

it's not like drg level

it's decent ig

[high wasp]

yeah because it's better

[topaz ore]

Except for the part were someone steals all the teleporter loot

[reef stump]

gd2

[half kraken]

drg randoms : incredibly reliable and competent people, usually cooperative and will partake in humor, will overcome any language barrier, in a game expertly crafted to feature and promote awesome organic non scripted cooperation of many kinds

ror2 randoms : often refuse to communicate, frequently quit once they die, have a thing for not paying attention to people's items, and usually have horrendously bad item priority. also some people lunar spam way too hard, in a game that barely promotes the cooperation aspect in any way whatsoever where it mostly feels like every player is playing their own game

[high wasp]

i dont play with randoms so i dont base multiplayer experience off of that

i have a better experience playing with friends in ror2 than drg so I think it's better and more fun

[charred mesa]

What is drg?

[high torrent]

funny dwarf game

honestly I wonder what would happen if hopoo team was a bit bigger

this is why we gotta support em

[high wasp]

if hopoo became a bigger team it would be amazing

[dull ingot]

obviously, I need to work on my studies, but once I get out of college, I feel like I might at least try to join Hopoo Games

[high wasp]

That would actually become awesome to own day be a part of hopoo games if I ever go down that road

It probably will never happen but being part of a game company that I love so much would be so cool

[high wasp]

I believe 🙏

[zealous orchid]

harpoons or shield on engi?

[drifting flicker]

id say harpoons, the shield doesnt actually protect you against a lot of stuff because itll just walk in, and harpoons give you a an actually decent attack

[dull ingot]

shield for passive/idle play style, harpoons for active/aggressive playstyle

[dull ingot]

aw, thanks lad :)

[solar sparrow]

Harpoons are way better, but shields do allow for more afk strategies

Plus harpoons with afterburner is based

[surreal oriole]

also harpoons can proc bands

[solar sparrow]

True but so can mines

Though yeah flying bosses it's a lot harder

[surreal oriole]

yeah also good range on harpoons

[solar sparrow]

Stationary turrets for chad, mobile for beta

And spider mines are just the better pick

[plain plinth]

Are harpoons really for an agressive style? They feel so slow and easily canceled that I can only imagine using them if I'm safe and not running around in need of a shield.

It almost feels like shield should be for mobile to save you when you go into danger too much and harpoons for stationary.

[solar sparrow]

Shields and mobile are not good at all they do not stay in the shields, and you can only shoot out of it

[plain plinth]

Oh, not for protecting the little ones, for protecting me. Just get a bandolier or more movement speed for the little ones to stay alive.

[solar sparrow]

Its always a matter of preference, but harpoons are a lot better

[dull ingot]

there are a couple techs you can use to make them better

[plain plinth]

Honestly, I think it's just that the mobile turrets do so much damage that I guess I just never see the point in using the harpoons.

May as well get the defensive skill if I do enough damage as it is.

Really makes mithrix hard though since the turrets can't do much there.

[dull ingot]

unironically activate harpoons and then shake your mouse wildly

[plain plinth]

Yea, I do that.

[dull ingot]

oh, ok cool

[solar sparrow]

Look at wisps, and kill them

Also cross map kills

[dull ingot]

my bandit running around with 10 red whips and 30 crowbars

[hidden garden]

I’ve been playing the game for a while, but I was wondering what people thought about playing engineer with all of his alt skills?

I personally really enjoy the feeling of a mobile engineer

[summer canyon]

Engineer's just been REALLY finicky for me

[solar sparrow]

Playing with all alt skills is usually what ppl recommend. Shield is meh compared to harpoons, and turrets are basically preference. Though I will die on my tiny hill that stationary turrets are based

[compact root]

stationary turrets are my best friend :)

usually i swap around based on who my friends are playing - them playing melee characters defo means thermal harpoons, but other than that i'll literally ask "hey you guys want the bubble shield?" like lmao

[sweet quartz]

not having very much fun with 2 and getting one shot

went to rainstorm and still like monsson

[high torrent]

circle strafe the game

[sweet quartz]

bravo for taking one of the weakest characters in risk of rain and making them op in 2 but jesus how the hell do i get golems off my back?

[sweet quartz]

fucking golems all over me trying to get acrid. on rainstorm on switch. and people think the first game was hard? games baby easy compared to this wooh boy see ya later

[dull ingot]

Let Engineer choose turrents individually, like captains beacons

[plain plinth]

Of course you'll die on that hill. You can't move to any other hill if you're using stationary turrets. 😛

[solar sparrow]

I can replace them, and theyll have all the items I just picked up 😤 😤 😤

[summer canyon]

I was playing with my friend last night who was new and I got the shield to help her out

[torpid tangle]

anyone here play on xbox

[full gale]

some people over at #ror2-console-discussion do

[vale wave]

I did it! Only prismatic trial til all items unlocked

[dull ingot]

yes

[high torrent]

heretic has negative regen

yknow, has a drawback

but advantage of all stats up + 3 jumps

exactly

[deft junco]

sure do love being killed by actual air

[dull ingot]

that's pretty cool haha

gup emoji and sticker

sad it's not smaller in compact mode

[nimble shore]

[icy grove]

Good items for acrid?

[high torrent]

hooves, focus crystals

and the usual

[icy grove]

Focus crystals?

Ohhhh oh yeah okay thanks

[merry karma]

he kinda just goes with everything, not very item dependant

[burnt path]

have mobile turrets know how to sprint now ?

[high torrent]

they only sprint if really far away from you

like, on the other side of the map

[full gale]

Do they tp tether to you like drones do

[nimble shore]

Don’t think so

[robust pawn]

if you play con lentitud poderosa at 23:57:53 on December 31st, the electric guitar will kick in the moment the new year starts

[high wasp]

That’s what I’m gonna do

[dull ingot]

he's really good with lunars

like- basically every lunar synergizes with him somehow

[solar sparrow]

Its bc he doesnt rely on items very much

[gleaming imp]

Gup

[green topaz]

hm, void reavers raise their legs when frozen..

[dull ingot]

[summer canyon]

Forgive Me Please + On Kills

It’s just so fucking dumb and powerful

[rain warren]

Throw in some & , maybe a with

Something about spamming shift & going full monkey mode is just fun to me

Its your entrance, your escape, your damage, your defense, your mobility

Remember to use thundergauntlet to remove charge-up time

[potent tangle]

I love that one

So much fun to use

[high torrent]

with stage 5 equipment multishops I often end up with a funny build which just wins stage 6

[swift fractal]

Same with beetle queen when you freeze her with mods

[gleaming imp]

Gup

[robust pawn]

Gup

[haughty pike]

Is Merc’s alternate Utility bugged

Just did a run and I was dashing straight through enemies not dealing any damage whatsoever

[frank turret]

Hmmm

[high wasp]

it's delayed

you dash through them, then a second later they get stunned, exposed, and take damage

[whole oracle]

No memes

[broken valve]

Why?

[azure ice]

Anyone have any ideas for a new years themed run??

Like for example I did firework only run for 4th of July and spawned hella printers to fight mithrix

[dull ingot]

Fireworks and alcohol

[azure ice]

Tonic!! Yeah fireworks for sure. What other item is also festive??

[dull ingot]

Make if theres cake or something?

I can't think of any party food items, but maybe

[hybrid vault]

warhorn is kinda similar to those new years noise makers

[azure ice]

Energy Drink (white claw 😂)
Tonic (actually drugs)
Fireworks (someone has to die)
Rusted Keys (everyone has to leave their keys at the door)
Bands ( to ring in the new year)
Red whip (because we getting naughty in 2022)
Ukulele ( because there's always someone at the party with an instrument)
War horn (HONK HONK)
57 leaf (luck in the new year)

[hybrid vault]

energy drink has pretty much every drug in it

oh

[azure ice]

Ceremonial dagger because nye is a ceremony

Happiest Mask because yes of course

Can we get mithrix to drop right at midnight 👀👀

Or we could obliterate from existing on new years that's the dream

[dull ingot]

hey guys what were those items he had the only one I recognised was the hopoo feather

[high torrent]

who

[stable fulcrum]

who

[nimble shore]

who

[jovial kettle]

what does hemorrhaging do?

[stable fulcrum]

damage over time

just like bleed

[jovial kettle]

thats all?

[stable fulcrum]

yea

[jovial kettle]

srsly

[stable fulcrum]

uh huh

[jovial kettle]

that sucks

[stable fulcrum]

kinda

[jovial kettle]

at least the rest of the set slaps

[stable fulcrum]

true!

[dull ingot]

it's 2000% base over 15 seconds

or about 133% base per second

a bit stronger than bleed, but less stackable and lasts longer

[high wasp]

what

[high torrent]

coffee bag and fork from starstorm2

[high wasp]

oh i see

[olive sky]

Y’know heretic plus cautious slug is kinda bussin’

A couple of cautious slugs and the you can get back the positive regen

And the effect is even greater with tonic

Tonic on heretic without slugs is just suicide tho

[high torrent]

true

but
you completely negate the health loss with shadowfade

[calm goblet]

So anyways. Why does loader work but artificer doesn’t? Seemingly

[autumn cipher]

artificer is

loader charater

risk r

[calm goblet]

Plz go to gd1

[autumn cipher]

ok

[calm goblet]

Baaaai

[dull ingot]

both are super strong characters
what do you think doesn't work?

[high wasp]

wdym?

[calm goblet]

I just went from loader to artificer. Seems like less damage and way more squishy. Just interesting because on paper you would think artificer could bang. But scrap barrier is just so good.

Even if the skills did less damage, I feel like loader would still be more effective at damage dealing.

Having said that…I can’t wait to get the lizard.

[high wasp]

well loader is one of, if not, the best characters in the game, but artificer is still very strong and works very well

[nimble shore]

Artificer requires a lot more movement finesse than Loader since Loader has armor, her barrier gain, and movement skills

[potent mantle]

Why do I hear boss music..

[high wasp]

LETS GOOO

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYBODY(in est at least) I JUST TIMED THE ELECTRIC GUITAR IN CON LENTITUD PONDEROSA WITH THE NEW YEAR AND WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[dull ingot]

WOOOOOOOOOOO YEAH BABY!

[night tree]

New Years woooo!

[dull ingot]

I got 4 more minutes

[eager whale]

Hey everyone, I'm doing some more Challenges of Order! List one Item of each rarity and those are the only items I'll be able to use during the run! (Please try to keep lunar items to passive)

[high wasp]

Personal shield generator

[high wasp]

Jk, do soldier syringe, wax quail, brilliant behemoth, and transcendence gaming

[eager whale]

any pick for yellow?

or equipment?

[high wasp]

Little disciple or charged perforator

Equipment is milky chrysalis

[eager whale]

@high wasp tried on commando died stage two, tried on huntress, died stage three.

[slender roost]

you should try shield gen, AtG, charged perforator, meat hook, purity, and radar scanner 👍

[amber cargo]

bungus, squid polyp, titanic knurl, happiest mask, focused convergence, primordial cube

[merry karma]

gonna try that

[solar sparrow]

Captain with resupply beacon, bungus, squid polyp, queens gland, tesla coil, mercurial rachis, the back-up = army build

i didnt know what to do for the reds, i would choose happiest mask but its so bad lmfao

u can summon squid polyp in mithrix arena with resupply beacon

and bungus to heal squids

[eager whale]

Man 3 purities with a majority of chance items makes for a difficult run.

[mild yacht]

Wouldn't rlly recommend using purity on any survivor other than Bandit tbh

That's if you got Desperado

[half kraken]

Acrid is the only survivor where purity is actually good

if you go bite and blight

even moreso tonic

[willow dagger]

purity default m2 mercenary or the so called helicopter

[azure ice]

Purity + atg and perforator 😂😂

[summer canyon]

Purity Mercenary is just DUMB

[idle shuttle]

[high torrent]

this tomfoolery is kinda low tier

boring and outright weird shit belongs in the dumpster my guy

[glacial echo]

thank you

[idle shuttle]

Then why the fuck did you get in this dumpster fire of a conversation

[glacial echo]

because it's not a conversation, it's just an asshole being an asshole and other people trying to follow the rules, such as the topic of the channel. go to #general if you want to shitpost

[idle shuttle]

try #ror2-tech-support and add in more info, there may be a fix 👍

[tender furnace]

yo

would you guys help me get rex

[green topaz]

what do you need help with

[fierce parcel]

Getting rex didn’t you read? In all seriousness probably someone to help him live to abyssal depths.

[green topaz]

i meant like any specific topics, ouch man

[grizzled mist]

Anybody wanna help me get Rex?

That’s a no then

[silent mulch]

I will give you advice, but I won't actually participate.
Just join a multiplayer game, choose mulT, then find your teammates' pod and take the bomb out. retool it so that its not on your current weapon then just play as normal

[high torrent]

don't forget to go to bazaar after stage 3 and choose abyssal depths

Drones have a hitbox you can collide with

even on pc

[high torrent]

but they actively avoid you on pc

they are really clingy on console

Oh right

Yeah the drones are still broken on console

Anybody know any good reds that should be prioritized for merc?

Afterburner is a guilty pleasure of mine

[mild yacht]

Mm I'd usually go Frost first

If Honor is on I'll go brainstalks, otherwise I'll go afterburner

[summer canyon]

Afterburner is definitely not a priority. I just find it fun to have more charges to dash through

[high torrent]

Oh those are fun

That being, taking advantage of his reliance on procs

He shoots fast at half mast, but kicking ass is something he needs items for

Usually my first red if i can choose it is because its like survival/damage in that it keeps you protected from most threats in your immediate area

Granted, this is just by murdering them outright

Wait yall talkin abt merc. Fuck.
Ignore meeeeeeeee

[chrome tulip]

is the DLC on the switch? i didnt see anything in the eShop

[high wasp]

it's not out yet

[chrome tulip]

ah

that... makes sense

[high wasp]

releases for PC sometime in Q1 of 2022, and on consoles it's in Q2 of 2022

[chrome tulip]

cool

[high wasp]

and also a big new patch/bugfixes is coming out for consoles as well, they're basically rewriting the entire game on console so it's the same as PC

[chrome tulip]

i just got the game literally like 10 minutes ago its still downloading

but from what ive seen its really cool

[high wasp]

yeah it's an awesome game, I hope you have fun playing it!

I spent about 40 runs getting the damned teapots to spawn so I could yeet one down the hole with Rex

pain.

[summer canyon]

It took me literally only like 5 minutes LOL

[wide vale]

[high torrent]

took me 40-50 minutes to get it for a new player, went for rainstorm n sacrifice artifact and stayed on the stage waitin

[wide vale]

interesting

seems like an alternative

[high torrent]

maybe 2 player scaling also helped

[wide vale]

but... hardly good game design still

[high torrent]

bramble volley is a 100% pick

[high torrent]

ikr

and dlc looks like just a content dump

[wide vale]

oh, I haven't looked at it at all yet

right now Ethereal with Merc has been making me sad, I just get randomly shot by the wisps if I try to run the crystals

[high torrent]

i was waiting a whole month for an ez trial

and it took me an hour

[wide vale]

I suppose I gotta check back every 3 days too

[high torrent]

yup

kin and glass are artifacts you should have neuron activation set for

[wide vale]

Cabbage did it as always but I don't have the skills, it seems 😄

[high torrent]

cabbage is insane

also if trial takes cabbage more than 2 minutes it's not even worth trying imo

[wide vale]

took him 1:58

[high torrent]

yeah current looks REALLY good

the fact that you can get brooches against wisps is scrumptious

[wide vale]

They just goddamn nail me before I kill enough of them for the brooch to matter

First round is easy 😄

[high torrent]

i might suggest taking a rest from this hell and trying agai tomorrow few times again because this looks like a good time to get slicing winds

[wide vale]

I think I'm just flat out not good enough, I tried in the morning too

I must be doing something wrong too, Cabbage uses 1 eviscerate to destroy the crystal but mine doesn't one hit it, even if I slap it with a RMB afterwards

[high torrent]

oh yeah

so Merc has expose right

[wide vale]

yeah

[high torrent]

from third m1 hit

+350% damage

what cabbage does is he swings m1 3 times and uses eviscerate right away into a crystal

and then finishes it off with m2

Merc has this mechanic of carrying over the expose to other skills from m1 if you time them right

[wide vale]

OH so that's why he did those 2 aerial attacks right before the eviscerate

[high torrent]

yup

[wide vale]

that... huh, okay

gotta try that, learn something new every day! Thanks! 😄

A break it is. I understand the concept, but I can't reproduce it reliably.

Guess I'll wait for another rotation 😄

the third hit out of the eviscerate seems to miss for me

[chrome tulip]

so i forgot what area im in but i found this thing that says cycle compound

what do i do with it?

nevermind i looked at a wiki and it told me what to do

[chrome tulip]

so on my very first run it took me a while to find the teleporter and beat the boss and i left the first area at abotu 24 minutes

my second run i have significantly improved and im leaving the second area at 18 minutes

[dull ingot]

One step at a time I suppose

You should really shoot for 5 Minutes per stage

[high torrent]

(you dont)
(just grab your items and spend time mindfully)
(paying attention to timer gives nothing)

[dull ingot]

Had to make the Woolie Reference

[echo path]

I prefer to full loot, speed running just doesn't feel right to me.

[chrome tulip]

yeah i try to beat the teleporter boss if i find it and then look around for any extra loot for like 2-3 minutes

also my god i hate the fact healing drones push you around

like one of my one healing drones almost just punted me off the edge because it flew into me as i was near one

[echo path]

At least you can't die from fall damage

[high torrent]

console moment

[chrome tulip]

alright my rating for the huntress is a flat 3/10

she would be good if her primary wepaon actually did something

just having aim bot is not going to save you

[weary vortex]

you need her alt fire and crits

then shes fun af imo

2nd survivor i beat monsoon with

[chrome tulip]

out of the three beginning survivors bandit is my favourite

big damage from the shotgun bigger damage from the snipe thing

and you can go invis
