gd2-nullified

[scenic bay]

Hello

[stable fulcrum]

hii

[snow tangle]

hi

[light shadow]

Then the people who follow this mindset can start the game on higher difficulties, nobody is forcing them to start on drizzle

[rose lagoon]

Dark Souls is really good though

[obsidian gyro]

Isn’t that almost every game though? Halo Infinite is the same way, so is Minecraft servers, TF2, so many games are like this, it’s just how games are.

[viscid burrow]

True, but the starting curve might be too steep in some cases for certain players

It's good to have a progressive improvement

Hey, there are good gamers who don't need easy modes too

[snow tangle]

well it all depends on the player themselves whether or not they want to always have some challenge or start off with easy mode

[scenic bay]

Idk I like systems of a difficulty like ror or dead cells

It can be semi casual, but provides high skill cap

[light shadow]

Its such a bizarre mindset to complain about something that has absolutely no effect on you

[rose lagoon]

most people here play monsoon casually

[unique bluff]

An easy mode is a quick way to have something that will let new players get better acquainted with the game.
Another game I can think of rn is Metroid Dread which just got an easy mode because people who have never played a Metroid game were saying it was hard. Granted it's fair but it is a challenging game at times even on the standard difficulty.

I think just set in stone difficulty settings are better than "adaptive difficulty" bullshit.

[viscid burrow]

Elitism™️

[light shadow]

Damn if I knew about this I might not have been able to resist the urge to use easy mode to beat the stupid fucking homing missile boss

[scenic bay]

I like difficulty like dead cells, game give you more hard challange, if u can beat game on previous difficulty.

[rose lagoon]

Metroid dread had perfect difficulty for me personally

[obsidian gyro]

I think what the Ror2 devs did with the difficulty system is great, I have no complaints about it. It helps people adapt to the game, and also challenge themselves to help increase their abilities in game.

[rose lagoon]

It was challenging, but never frustrating. And beating bosses felt great.

[light shadow]

I struggled a lot on Kraid too but Kraid was comprehendible so I didn't mind sucking against him

[unique bluff]

I struggled a bit on kraid compared to the earlier games

[opal tulip]

Yeah, its more about challenge preferences, if you want more relaxing experience -> its up to you

[rose lagoon]

Hardest boss for me was the final one

[viscid burrow]

Exactly

[scenic bay]

My first half year of playing ror2 I played on easy cuz I dont played rogue-like games before, and had laptop that run ror in 15 - 20 fps

[rose lagoon]

also the underwater one (fuck the underwater one)

[unique bluff]

Pretty much all of the bosses rely on learning the patterns

[wary birch]

Imagine gatekeeping people for playing a difficulty they want

People who do that are dumb lol

[unique bluff]

I didn't comprehend in the underwater boss that you needed to shoot the buttons because all the other water pump buttons before that I used a missile because RED = MISSILE by logic of red doors

only design flaw but after realization it made more sense

Kraid is a hard boss because of his platform patterns

you have to be very particular in your jumps

unlike previous games

[rose lagoon]

my original point was:
with the existence of drizzle, I'm going to do all artifacts and annoying achevements on drizzle (example: the rex 1k healing one), because I have no reason to play on harder modes. So getting achievements is just boring because I play on drizzle. This is definetly a me-problem and I was not flaming it on any new players. Sorry if I said it in a way that hurt you. I was not gatekeeping the game for new players.

[wary birch]

no wasn't directed at you lol

just people in general

[rose lagoon]

ah alright, nice

[unique bluff]

Honestly though it's nice to see that the community appreciates new players.

[rose lagoon]

would be cool if there were more "on monsoon" achievements though

[obsidian gyro]

I mean, sure you can do achievements and stuff like that on drizzle, but thats your choice- You can always increase the difficulty. No one is choosing for you.

[wary birch]

I mean with the dlc there's probs is gonna be more

[obsidian gyro]

oh definitely

[rose lagoon]

defiently, it's just more streamlined to play on drizzle because I might die on rainstorm/monsoon

[frosty vine]

The game is friendly overall it doesn't have mechanics that's straight up bad

[fair basalt]

пизда

[rose lagoon]

and then I won't get as many achievements (I'm a 100% guy)

[obsidian gyro]

well if you die, you still get the achievement if you do it

[frosty vine]

Skins achievement tho xd

[rose lagoon]

well I might die before getting it

[unique bluff]

Not sure if they'd add more achievements for dlc or not
its weird because if you don't get the dlc you can't get 100%

[obsidian gyro]

most achievements make you play as all the characters

[rose lagoon]

I hope they add achievements

[frosty vine]

They won't

[rose lagoon]

aww man

[frosty vine]

Not steam at least

[light shadow]

Why would they not?

[frosty vine]

I mean that would be really fucked

Like dlc wise

[rose lagoon]

I see why they don't do it, but it still sucks a lot

[unique bluff]

actually idk
because if you play with other people and 1 has the dlc then you can get some of the achievements
hmmm

[wary birch]

like don't a bunch of games add achievements with dlc?

[median gorge]

Where'd you hear that? Plenty of games add achievements thru DLC

literally every Bethesda game

[light shadow]

There will be item unlocks and character abilities/mastery unlocks so it makes no sense for them not to be DLC achievements

[rose lagoon]

isaac especially

[wary birch]

and tf2

[light shadow]

Hollow Knight comes to mind for me

[wary birch]

before valve stopped updating it

[obsidian gyro]

i feel like they’d do a thing where “if you have the dlc, you get 5 more achievements. if you don’t, you can still get the original 122 (or something) and still have 100%. These achievements will just be for fun”

[light shadow]

112%

[rose lagoon]

hollow knight has no DLC

they made updates

dlc = stuff you get from the store

[rare matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/mid-its-mid-ugly-nah-gif-19839131

[light shadow]

It has post-launch content though which is what I mean

[rose lagoon]

yeah

[frosty vine]

Well if they make it ingame not steam achievements

But I guess we'll see

[rose lagoon]

that's most likely what they are doing

[frosty vine]

Cause playing rogue like like this without dlc should kinda suck xd

[light shadow]

Like it made some of the original achievements like 100% a bit weirder because you can substitute any of the base game completion with the update completion

[rose lagoon]

we'll see in 2 weeks

[frosty vine]

It's a very massive dlc

[wary birch]

steam achievements don't really mean anything way

[light shadow]

Didn't ask I wasn't even commenting on the quality of the game

[obsidian gyro]

whatever the case, IM HYPED FOR THE NEW DLC

[rare matrix]

Idc

[rose lagoon]

just two weeks away! Survivors of the void is in two weeks! Wohoo!

[frosty vine]

Feeling of completeness

[light shadow]

Can you believe it guys?

[wary birch]

I lost that feeling ages ago..

[rose lagoon]

HK might not be for you but as far as games go it's not mid at all

that's already engi without the sentry part :)

melee demoman tho

[obsidian gyro]

demoman would actually be really fun

[rare matrix]

I’ve only really kept up with eri and trunks

[rose lagoon]

you misunderstand gup, gup is nothing you laugh at, gup is more something you admire that fills you with a warm happy feeling every time you think about it.

[obsidian gyro]

DEMOKNIGHT???

[civic nymph]

melee demoman = mercenary?

Funny to see you here though

jgup is something i 🤤🍴at

[slow crystal]

lmaooo

[slender sigil]

I'm empty inside so I'll go cry about it I guess

[unique bluff]

doesn't really translate as well since demo knight is a melee subclass that focuses on single target damage
hybrid knight would be a better idea if you were to make a ror2 mod out of em.
imagine double donk mechanics

[rare matrix]

I have like 50 or so hours in ror2 and I have no idea what gup is

[civic nymph]

makes sense

[wise elbow]

march 1st

[dull ingot]

hiw

[civic nymph]

should have had 50 hours in ror1

[light shadow]

no ror1 issue

[quartz saffron]

gup is an enemy in ror1

[unique bluff]

I still haven't 100% ror1 😔

[civic nymph]

gup is an enemy in ror2

[dull ingot]

when you want to power up rex but forgot to bring the fuel array

[rose lagoon]

I hope you can fill your void one day.

[civic nymph]

but from the future

[unique bluff]

I tried monsoon once in ror1 and on stage 1
overloading worm

[obsidian gyro]

gup is gup

[civic nymph]

source?

[dull ingot]

havent seen an overloading worm in ror2 yet

[light shadow]

I tried monsoon in ror1 and got to max difficulty on stage 2

[obsidian gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/omori-sunny-omori-risk-of-rain2-overloading-worm-risk-of-rain2overloading-worm-gif-21905571

[civic nymph]

there's not really a max difficulty tho

[light shadow]

Overloading worm in ror2 is a lot rarer but also a lot easier

[unique bluff]

Ror2 overloading worms dont compare

[rare matrix]

Just loop

[slow crystal]

ez clap

[obsidian gyro]

source? gup

[light shadow]

I mean it got to haha on stage 2

[civic nymph]

don't use elite artifact xD overloading worm is NOT an overloading elite.

[unique bluff]

I mostly see overloading worms when I touch like 3 shrines of the mountain on sky meadows

[light shadow]

Yeah I've only gotten overloading worm on the first loop by using a ton of mountain shrines

[slender sigil]

touch

[vast quail]

void fiend main

[rare matrix]

You should be hitting every single mountain shrine btw

[civic nymph]

touch shrine

[rare matrix]

No reason not to

[slender sigil]

void fiend is just artificer with strides tbh tbh

[civic nymph]

don't do it if you got unlucky and are struggling

[rare matrix]

So better artificer

[unique bluff]

not always 🙂

[slender sigil]

nah

[civic nymph]

then it's just faster to go next stage and get better items there

[rare matrix]

🧢

[slender sigil]

maybe in power but not in kit and design

[unique bluff]

you could get
blazing greater wisp
hoard of many

and burn to death

[rare matrix]

Um you play stadia

[wise elbow]

ehhhhhhhhh
i dunno i like fiend's design

[light shadow]

Idk how fiend is comparable to artificer other than he floats

But also so does engineer lol

[dull ingot]

how come you get an overloading worm when I get 10 dunerider

[slender sigil]

yeah bro I play stadia what about it

[rare matrix]

You aren’t real

[civic nymph]

void friend looks great to me

[naive python]

Burst dmg too I guess

[rare matrix]

👆

[light shadow]

Because dunestriders and overloading worms don't spawn on the same maps

[wise elbow]

he is actually risk/reward unlike rex who was supposed to be that but plant abilities are just reward and lots of it (not a knock to rex's design but let's be real plant is just way stronger with better survivability despite supposedly being riskier)

[slender sigil]

his m2 is a worse nano bomb and his corrupt m1 is just flamethrower

[unique bluff]

tbh I think fiend looks a little boring...

[slender sigil]

he's still unique enough

[naive python]

Flamethrower but better

[rare matrix]

YOU look BORING

[rose lagoon]

STADIWHAT

[unique bluff]

yeah

[civic nymph]

visually or kit wise?

[light shadow]

Yeah the corrupt m1 looks way more fun than flamethrower

[slender sigil]

cry

[wise elbow]

i meeeeeeaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
normal m2 doesn't arc + uncharged is a missile
but yeah it is kinda nanobomb-esque
also i believe you can hold it so

[naive python]

You can charge it a little, yeah

[wise elbow]

like yes his skills are similar but he plays differently because he still is somewhat m1-focused
he doesn't have rotations

[rare matrix]

Never actually met an artificer main so who really cares if he’s just better artificer

[unique bluff]

both.
I mean his main gimmick is his rage mode but other than that it's a little boring

[wise elbow]

which is why i think comparing fiend to artificer is not really the play imo

[naive python]

Maybe

[civic nymph]

what are your thoughts on commando and/or huntress?

[light shadow]

I wouldn't compare void fiend to anyone really, the double form gimmick sets him apart pretty well for me

[obsidian gyro]

one thing i really like about ror2 is this right here

[civic nymph]

idem

[light shadow]

idem?

[obsidian gyro]

DOUBLE FORM???

[rare matrix]

Did you not watch the stream

[obsidian gyro]

i think it stands for i dont even mind

[naive python]

When he's fully corrupted he has an "evolved" kit of his current abilities

[obsidian gyro]

no, didnt have time to sadly

[slender sigil]

I wish the 2nd form was more different to his 1st

[obsidian gyro]

bruh that sounds epic

[rare matrix]

Chef was in it btw

[unique bluff]

they're the base 2 you start with in the game, they ones that aren't behind a paywall and the fact you have to unlock them first to play them

[obsidian gyro]

CHEFFFF MY BOI

[naive python]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn8Y3xYhsQY

[slender sigil]

like he could've turned into a melee bruiser in his alt form that woulda been sick

[obsidian gyro]

also i didnt want to spoil the update

[naive python]

I agree with that

[rare matrix]

why bring up paywalls when the only paywall isn’t out yet

[obsidian gyro]

I want to be impressed and not be expecting it

[light shadow]

Eh he does have somewhat less range in the alt form and his util changes to be better suited for approaching enemies up close

[slender sigil]

just make him gnar from league of legos

[civic nymph]

in terms of how interesting the kits & visual designs are I mean

[naive python]

Understandable

[wise elbow]

also i think the corruption system is very well-designed
specifically the parts where the corruption only increases by taking damage and decreases by receiving healing
because if it would increase by dealing damage at some point you would just become perma-corrupted and op which would be the j
and in its current iteration you can't really get rid of its limitations which i like
and it also forces you to avoid most healing items and rely on your non-corrupt special to sustain
which is limited in use
which is good design imo
actual risk/reward

[rare matrix]

Ngl

Not reading that

[wise elbow]

ok

[obsidian gyro]

cope

[light shadow]

Yeah void fiend looks cool af I'm gonna enjoy messing around with them

[naive python]

When you put it like that, it sounds even better ngl

[merry karma]

[burnt path]

om my LORD look at those BEEFCAKES, gawd im moisted

[rare matrix]

This 👆idc if artificer mains (don’t exist btw) are complaining about his design

[dull ingot]

so 3200% damage per sec

[obsidian gyro]

I’m gonna enjoy the DLC period. I’m freakin happy Ror2 has mods developing and working on. New stuff and they aren’t abandoning it like Valve is with every old game they have

[dull ingot]

not counting items

[civic nymph]

yeah there's still stuff I'd prefer to see different in the base game

but I'm happy ror is getting dlcs

[wise elbow]

and also fiend doesn't look as horribly unbalanced as reingunner does so that's another plus

[slender sigil]

yes

[dull ingot]

idk about you but making mando the imposter sounds sus

[civic nymph]

it means there's money to also iron out any issues with the base game and console (which absolutely isn't a guarantee)

[slender sigil]

he's still kinda strong but nowhere near railgunner status

[obsidian gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/dlc-risk-of-rain2-ror2-gif-21526101

[haughty badge]

i would prefer fiend to reingunner if he wouldnt just stop in place for a second every time he goes anime mode

[light shadow]

Actually its the people who don't play Artificer making the comparisons, anyone who does knows that Artificer has pretty specific playstyle that can't really be compared just by saying oh look they both have chargeable m2s!!

[naive python]

"anime mode" lmao, that's a good one

[obsidian gyro]

i have a feeling railgunner is gonna be like the Sniper mod just a lot better

[wise elbow]

yea that part is kinda the j
especially how if you transform during trespass you lose all of your momentum
which is like

why

if you carried the momentum you had while transforming that would be less the j

[obsidian gyro]

I should play artificer again, it’s been a minute since I have

[slender sigil]

better in power
100x worse in design

[civic nymph]

I like sniper mod a lot

[naive python]

Honestly, I think that's a good thing?
I don't mind that much, but I'll form my opinion better when the DLC comes out

[civic nymph]

on the one hand I'd have preferred something that didn't have such a well-established mod

[obsidian gyro]

it needs to be balanced though- being able to do 3 mil dmg with a charged shot is ridiculously op-

[slender sigil]

I have e8 and 20 monsoon wins on artificer and they look pretty similar if it was arti with strides

[civic nymph]

on the other hand they did great stuff with bandit so

[light shadow]

I should try sniper mod, hopefully he doesn't have a yoinky unlock

[slender sigil]

they both have the same in your face but ranged playstyle

[obsidian gyro]

dont think so- if he does just get the unlock all lmao

[wise elbow]

it's just annoying

and it can fuck you over in some situations
like imagine you see a vagrant nova
so you want to trespass to cover but BOOM you transform and become a sitting duck right before the nova and you perish

[naive python]

Hm, you're right

[rose lagoon]

most of the time characters having more momentum makes them more fun

[light shadow]

Eh we'll have to wait and see how much of a problem the brief pause ends up being

[dull ingot]

engineer:

[light shadow]

I did notice it looked a little jarring in the gameplay footage though

[obsidian gyro]

How long have they been working on this Dlc?

I’m actually curious now

[slender sigil]

probably around a year

[wise elbow]

meeehhhhh idunno
in what they do maybe but in gameplay not exactly
like fartificer still has her skill rotations all that jazz
fiend is still an m1 character
also tbh most of the survivors are ranged but in your face so eh

[high torrent]

which is like
nullified by resident sleeper kit

[rose lagoon]

engineer is fun because you stand still and bungus

[obsidian gyro]

oh then it’s gotta be good

[wise elbow]

i'm perfectly fine with fiend's design i like him a lot and i will be void fiend gaming upon release

[obsidian gyro]

nullified- ha, see what you did there

[rose lagoon]

since the anniversary update

[wise elbow]

idunno maaaaaan
laser m1 is satisfying

[obsidian gyro]

hot

[high torrent]

dude you could go full seraph with that m2 why is it just castrated nanobomb

[slender sigil]

time =/= quality

[wise elbow]

ok fine i'll admit his m2 is pretty boring by itself

[naive python]

I agree, it looks sooo good

[dull ingot]

i expect to be both railgunner gaming and void fiend gaming alot near the start of the update and probably gravitate towards one to keep

[high torrent]

they had everything ready by october end were just fine tuning and adding smaller things last few months

[light shadow]

I'll probably end up leaning more towards void fiend but I'll have to see

[rose lagoon]

all the void items were done before september last year, so since then they have been working on other stuff

[wise elbow]

i WILL be leaning towards fiend i already know this

[high torrent]

and their team was full last december

[obsidian gyro]

i wouldnt say im going off of time = quality, im going off of how good Ror2 is, and how well the Devs did. So, with a year to work with, and with the amazing devs that the game has, I’m sure it’ll be worth the price

but we wont know till March 1st

[rose lagoon]

just more ror2 is worth the money. I don't need the stuff to be revolutionary incredible shit

[light shadow]

void fiend looks more well rounded and better in average situations and railgunner is KILL BIG HP ENEMY

[dull ingot]

time is more like potential quality, not guarnteed but a higher potential can bring better product

[formal folio]

ah yes
right after the second character drop

the bickering: volume 2

[slender sigil]

just let me blacklist almost every new item and I'll happily pay up

[median gorge]

don't make me post my copypasta

[naive python]

Do it

[obsidian gyro]

I’m actually excited for it ngl, this is one of the only games I look forward too other than TF2, which we all know doesnt get any major updates anymore

[wise elbow]

VOID ATG 😼 😼 😼

[north saffron]

Void Fiend: Holding his own in fights.

Railgunner: Overkilling a wisp every 1.5 seconds.

[rose lagoon]

railgunner will be best in co-op where you can take care of big enemies and your friends can deal with the swarming enemies

[slender sigil]

bottled chaos 😼

[light shadow]

yeah railgunners are gonna be so valuable in co-op games

[dull ingot]

mhm

[wise elbow]

okay bottled chaos is like

i'm cool with the concept of the item but
a) there are too many equips that weren't meant for this
b) WHY THE FUCK IS IT A RED 😄

[neon fern]

bandit mains with desperado when they see a wisp:

[dull ingot]

i play a fair amount of co op, i can see me playing railrunner alot more because of that

[rose lagoon]

gd1 is dead though

[obsidian gyro]

this scene in a nutshell

[light shadow]

bottled chaos is gonna be yet another item to put a frown on your face when you get the stage 4 red

[high torrent]

you just pick susprite or effigy of grief and go ham bro

[slender sigil]

equipment choices are deliberate and permanent the fact that's is a random effect is SO questionable

[high torrent]

it's 2-4 equipment synergy for it to actually be a red tier

[north saffron]

I'm going to just chill up at the very top of every map, and will wait for you to highlight an enemy you want me to kill as Railgunner.

[formal folio]

reason why ill play railgunner

reason why ill play fiend is because he looks fucking sick i mean come on how is transforming every few minutes or so into a tweaked verison of the already cool character your already playing not cool

[wise elbow]

ok susprite yea tru

nah but like
it just fits the theme of a lunar item more imo

[merry karma]

free red sign me up

[obsidian gyro]

[high torrent]

and we have a few reds that just dont qualify/do nothing anyways

[slender sigil]

even if it had autotarget logic like equip drones it's still wack af

[light shadow]

isn't this just like enigma as an item lol (other than being able to keep your base equipment at least)

[high torrent]

and bottled chaos already looks better than that

[obsidian gyro]

Railgunner = Sniper TF2

[slender sigil]

ok but these are new items you'd think they'd get down balance by now

[high torrent]

balance is irrelevant in ror2

[light shadow]

Eh its not a high bar, I think it'll still be in the lower echelons of the red item quality list

[north saffron]

Railgunner = Widowmaker from Overwatch

[wise elbow]

i mean you still have your current equip it's not like you lose it
i'm talking about equips that are very specific in usage like vase/recycler/sprite
rolling these effects is just useless

[high torrent]

dont forget the mantra

[slender sigil]

yes

[neon fern]

ass aint fat enough no

[north saffron]

You clearly haven't seen her alt skin.

[slender sigil]

if I want to hold preon for hugging and band procs the fact I get a RANDOM equip effect every 140s for a red item is so so weird

[neon fern]

dlc isnt even out yet wtf

[obsidian gyro]

Railgunner = NCR Ranger

[dull ingot]

now thats true

[high torrent]

i will crack the models and WILL compare railgunner's ass to huntress' ass

[wise elbow]

okay so
we just need LunarBottledChaos mod on release

[gaunt yacht]

Just gotta accept the fact it's better on better on low cd

[high torrent]

im standing by the fact that railgunner has the dumpy

[wise elbow]

not wrong

[dull ingot]

stand then monarch

[rose lagoon]

I would download a railgunner ass mod

[gaunt yacht]

Bottled Chaos if it doesn't have lunar equips or even stuff like volcanic egg to mess with your movement is 100% not a Lunar worthy item

[north saffron]

Sounds like a win win to me.

[neon fern]

huntress has LEGS not ass

[light shadow]

using bottled chaos and it activates spinel tonic

[median gorge]

add sex to ror2

[rose lagoon]

What is bottled chaos someone tell me

[obsidian gyro]

yeah she has the thighs

[neon fern]

like goddamn those are some long ass legs

[rose lagoon]

Ooh nice

[wheat ice]

capacitor with bottled chaos seems like it could be a funny shitshow lmao

[slender sigil]

me when I recycle an item and shoot a preon at my feet!

[unique bluff]

doesn't sound that bad

[wise elbow]

nah but the theme of it just fits the lunar theme more
it's chaotic you have no idea what it will do next time it's more fitting thematically

[gaunt yacht]

Equipment made to buff capacitor

[rose lagoon]

So basically CHAOS

[north saffron]

MUL-T Now has 4 equipment slots heh heh

[slender sigil]

me when I recycle all the enemies!

[obsidian gyro]

then get the LTG “Now” sound effect mod

[unique bluff]

bottled fun :D

[gaunt yacht]

Good thing every single Lunar is predictable

[dull ingot]

if bottled can activate lunar equips, the item is weird for not being lunar itself. and if it doesnt, well it should and be a lunar item at that

[wheat ice]

thinking of activating random shit every 3 seconds sounds like a good time

[unique bluff]

sounds extra fun with artifact of chaos

[wise elbow]

sigh

thematically

[obsidian gyro]

24 meteor strike monent

[unique bluff]

(I think that's the intention)

[rose lagoon]

Bottled chaos + gesture

[light shadow]

Mercurial Rachis is a little quirky

[quartz saffron]

enigma + bottled chaos + gesture for extra rng

[neon fern]

imagine having a sprite or capacitor plus bottled chaos plus gesture

[median gorge]

not really random per sey

[gaunt yacht]

It works as a Lunar item because I made up the Lunar themes

[neon fern]

plus cells like

[median gorge]

it spawns near you

[wheat ice]

throw in a catalyst

funny emerges

[neon fern]

bruh

[obsidian gyro]

now you see

[light shadow]

"near you" isn't always going to be in a favourable position

[north saffron]

Bottled Chaos + Gesture + Woodsprite (lowest cooldown equipment)

[unique bluff]

hmmm

[gaunt yacht]

Fair but even Meteor ahs like 50% chance to spawn on an enemy

[median gorge]

yeah but thats the downside

[slender sigil]

I don't wanna be incentivised to drop crowdfunder for random effects tbh

[rose lagoon]

Hell. Yes.

[median gorge]

its just warbanner but you don't have control over its placement

[obsidian gyro]

and 50% chance to spawn on you

[gaunt yacht]

Sucks to suck

[neon fern]

isnt it 39% on player and enemy

[unique bluff]

It wouldn't sound fair if it would do meteor

[wheat ice]

I enjoy having a wee bit of fun sometimes

[high torrent]

just another soulbound

[wheat ice]

Random shit is fun

[obsidian gyro]

a wee bit of trolling

[light shadow]

Yeah that's my point, its downside is being unpredictable in its placement so its not always beneficial and might even end up benefiting the enemies instead

[obsidian canyon]

Random is pog

[rose lagoon]

Bruh

[slender sigil]

ItemBlacklister mod got my back

[gaunt yacht]

Reimagined beating embryo by adding Artifact of Enigma to it

[rose lagoon]

Random is more fun than crunder

[wise elbow]

if bottled chaos doesn't have recycler vase egg in its pool then i'm like

50/50 fine with it
i still think having that as a red is eeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh but like
i still like the item conceptually

[rose lagoon]

Shoulda been a yellow

[gaunt yacht]

They know it's a Red they wouldn't make it absolutely horrible for no raeson

[neon fern]

imagine capacitating a boss and it makes a tunnel as well and u end up k the middle of a boss horde

[gaunt yacht]

that's only for green items

[north saffron]

Crunder vois Crowder?

[wheat ice]

I think the items that have crackhead potential but aren't necessarily Amazing out the box are some of the most fun

[amber pasture]

If you have 2 of the new red do you get like 2 more equipment effects

[light shadow]

Not sure how that's related to what I said but you have to interact with tunnels to use them, so you can't just accidentally get sucked into one

[gaunt yacht]

It's literally just get Royal Capacitor instead of any other high cd damage item

or Gnarled Woodsprite

[obsidian gyro]

lmao my friend calls and a waste of a red item

[gaunt yacht]

Then hope it spawns 5 goobos out of nowhere

[slender sigil]

no randomness to that extent is just stupid

[gaunt yacht]

Wake isn't good but Frost Relic is definitely good

[light shadow]

I mean wake of vultures is :/ but frost relic has its uses

[wheat ice]

Vulture is kinda poo ass yeah

[slender sigil]

imagine an item that made your special cast another random special

[north saffron]

I love ice pinwheel red item.

[rose lagoon]

It should be a yellow item... it should be a yellow item...

[light shadow]

Frost relic did make more sense when it was a green item in ror1 but having it on melee characters is fun as fuck

[neon fern]

wake is nice if u have brainstalks

[odd surge]

will I be able to buy dlc if I got the main game by gift?

[gaunt yacht]

Frost Relic got like 3 major buffs over it's lifetime

[neon fern]

op on merc with slicing winds

[slender sigil]

yes

[gaunt yacht]

now it's actually good but it started off horrible

[wise elbow]

cool? unless it's surge/tangled growth

[neon fern]

very fun

[rose lagoon]

frost relic isn't bad

[obsidian gyro]

Wake of vultures is good if you’re low on health.

If you didn’t know, if you have low health, and you kill an elite Lightning aspect, you can basically reset your health back to full

[wheat ice]

I just don't wanna accidentally die because half my health is shields moment

[slender sigil]

not cool!

[wise elbow]

frost relic used to be dogass now it's great

[wise elbow]

cool.

[light shadow]

Gets jumpscared into arrow rain/ballista position

[gaunt yacht]

Can't wait for people to hate this item because "i never find green printer"

[neon fern]

tbis honestly just sounds like a skill issue

[wheat ice]

you're right

[wise elbow]

ah right i forgot huntress exists

[obsidian gyro]

Agreed

[odd surge]

thanks

[wheat ice]

cheese box

[light shadow]

Captain's special is his beacon placement menu which would also suck to get stuck in

[north saffron]

finally ffinds a green printer

green printer is for Regenerating Scrap

[wise elbow]

okay this one is the j

scrap system is already batshit broken like Lol Lmao

[dire rivet]

its a really strong item (for big brane players)

[rose lagoon]

is that a real item? cool

[dull ingot]

zaamnn

[wheat ice]

Suncles based moment

[quartz saffron]

will be

[obsidian gyro]

Yeah, but every Lightning aspect you kill, you reset your health which is funny

[slender sigil]

how does it work with recycler tho

[light shadow]

big brane players aka remembering the newt shop exists

[rose lagoon]

Hey uncles, I have a question. Will SoTV add more steam achievements or not?

[gaunt yacht]

Big go to bazaar every stage brain

[dire rivet]

what do you mean?

[gaunt yacht]

Free red item lets go

[north saffron]

The recycler can recyle an item ONCE.

[dire rivet]

idk

[light shadow]

Goes to newt with 5 regen scrap and all of the cauldrons have wake of vultures

[obsidian gyro]

oh hi uncles

[slender sigil]

how would bottled chaos work with recycler
I don't really want a random damage/healing activation when I'm looking at an item

[gaunt yacht]

Still a free red

[rose lagoon]

go ask the others then! I want to know

[obsidian gyro]

anyway brb

[dawn vortex]

game is easy enable command and drops on kill and afk with aoe stuff in the void fields for 3 hours and get a free run within 5 minutes of a run

[scarlet tapir]

Hi! Dont forget - this channel is for Risk of Rain 2 discussion only! If you want offtopic discussions - please visit #general down in hangouts! Thank you!

[wheat ice]

cheese box my beloved

[dire rivet]

it works exactly how you'd predict it to work - it activates a random equipment when you use your equipment

[rose lagoon]

yes, easy game.

[gaunt yacht]

The game crashing from Bottled Chaos because it needs to activate 37 equipment effects at once

[native cypress]

Are there any new artifacts in SoTV?

[neon fern]

8 srconds of bring an malachite, celestial overloading, burning freezing motherfucker sounds good

[north saffron]

gup I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive us. gup

[gaunt yacht]

Can it give Lunar Equipment tho

[neon fern]

plus death mark

[slender sigil]

do you know if it auto targets or it just fires where you're looking

[neon fern]

bruh

[dire rivet]

not that ive seen

[gaunt yacht]

Okay good ty

[light shadow]

Doesn't this mean it will just do nothing sometimes though because recycler and capacitor only activate when focusing on an item/enemy

[dire rivet]

it works EXACTLY like how you think it works

[wise elbow]

suncles
railgunner or void fiend

[native cypress]

Imagine getting a tonic affliction because you were spamming royal capacitors

[gaunt yacht]

It's a strange meme item that will be weirdly effective

[dire rivet]

voidgunner

[gaunt yacht]

Like every time I get it I'd probably prefer something more consistent but it'll be fun

[quartz saffron]

rail fiend

[north saffron]

Imagince getting Tonic buff because you used pauldron 😎

[slender sigil]

ok that's a shame

[neon fern]

imagine activating a grief of effigy while playing as merc or loader

[light shadow]

I'll be honest I do like the idea behind wake of vultures but I just think its wasting a red item slot as of right now because elite effects on players aren't anywhere near potent enough to justify it

[neon fern]

:))))))

[north saffron]

kills a Mending elite
Now heals allies nearby

[native cypress]

Just don't get inside the circle of the effigy 4head ez /s

[neon fern]

thats the thing u dont even know if it would activate grief or meteorites

[light shadow]

I really like zetaspects wake of vultures because not only does it have an acceptable duration but it also changes up the near useless elite effects to be a bit more useful

[iron plover]

||still haven't seen the second elite type||

[dull ingot]

dies and is able to heal allies in death

[neon fern]

ur playing russian roulette with ur self

[gaunt yacht]

Important question

Does Bethnic Bloom upgrade items when going to Hidden Realms

[neon fern]

literall gamble whenever u activatr an equipment

[brittle juniper]

gd1 is no more :'l

[light shadow]

The frenzy elite is already in your house

[north saffron]

and exploads and icey explosion

[gaunt yacht]

IE: Can I get twice the upgrades if I just go to the Bazaar every stage

[dire rivet]

i think that footage is the first time ive had it non-simulacrum

[light shadow]

Metamorphosis randomises you in hidden realms so I assume it counts hidden realms as new stages for bloom as well

[gaunt yacht]

Not how Metamorphosis works but sure

[dull ingot]

i mean if it is not to be busted, it would only do it each time the stage counter increases

[light shadow]

huh whuh

[gaunt yacht]

Metamorph is just "On Respawn" reviving with Dio or through any means with commands ore revive mods rerolls your character

[light shadow]

ah ok

[frosty vine]

Even dio?

[gaunt yacht]

Blover might be tied to stage count thus not working with Hidden Realms

but who knows

Maybe it's also on respawn somehow

Dio with Dio get 15 more

[neon fern]

whats metamorph again

[frosty vine]

New char

[gaunt yacht]

RandomSurvivorOnRespawn

[neon fern]

like random survivor every run right

[gaunt yacht]

Yeah just every stage different char

[stable fulcrum]

every stage

[north saffron]

New Artifact: Randomized Survivor skills.

[light shadow]

I didn't know it was on respawn I thought it was just reroll after each stage

[wheat ice]

First thing I thought with blover was to scrap all whites and watch it juice up the remainding greens. might be some cringe-ass strat there that could actually work

[gaunt yacht]

The devs sometimes have weird solutions to simple problems

[light shadow]

This would ruin so many characters lol

[gaunt yacht]

but maybe it was harder to change character midstage, from personal experience changing loadout when going from stage to stage works entirely fine

[full gale]

please tell me lunar equipments and recycler are blacklisted from the random equipment effects list

[umbral oracle]

@dire rivet can you give us wallpaper with void find?

[gaunt yacht]

#gd2-nullified message

[umbral oracle]

Please?

[gaunt yacht]

it's pinned

[full gale]

not that I've seen is an uncertain statement

therefore it is entirely possible

[obsidian gyro]

pinned

[gaunt yacht]

bruh then he doesn't know

[umbral oracle]

Where?

[frosty vine]

There

[obsidian gyro]

its- in the pins of this channel

[umbral oracle]

Ah, found it. Thanks

[obsidian gyro]

no prob

[light shadow]

I just realised I might end up not hearing the best part of the sundered grove theme most of the time because I'm always rushing to get out of that forsaken stage

[iron plover]

hope who games

[frosty vine]

Pay the stage what it cost, the time well spent

[light shadow]

I guess I will if I do decide to grind the chest before the teleporter but usually just doing the teleporter early + a little extra money gives me enough for the chest

[full gale]

oh no he said rushing

[frosty vine]

Loader sounds intesifies

[neon fern]

bro the greentext in pinned

lmfao

[obsidian gyro]

charging fist sounds

[dawn vortex]

i feel so bad for the modders, the modding stuff is prob fixed by now and will only get better but everyone will now ask not only for an alt version as they do now but a corrupted void version, the pit never ends

[frosty vine]

Modding stuff fixed..?

[light shadow]

The malachite imp region

[frosty vine]

Malachite Gup tho

[light shadow]

Wait so can boss type enemies actually spawn as malachite and celestine? Some of my friends said they don't and I've never personally seen any (fortunately)

[frosty vine]

The extra thhiiicccc gupper

I don't think they can

They are celestial

[dawn vortex]

havent touched this community in a decent time, they changed up how modding works back then and everything got scrambled, i assume they found ways around and to work with the new changes

[light shadow]

I guess one of the mods let those imp overlords spawn as malachite then ?

[frosty vine]

Oh shit

[obsidian gyro]

oh, welcome back then

[frosty vine]

Sounds like an issue they have to talk out with devs to get better modding toola

[neon fern]

i guess with enough shrines of the mountain and 2 digit stages

[frosty vine]

But I mean rors language isnt spaghetti

[dawn vortex]

i think it was something about how things load and accessing content already in the game, looking at thunderstore it seems like the devs fixed it or the community found another way

[frosty vine]

Hm

I thought it's much easier

[dawn vortex]

ok so i just fell out of an alternate dimension then, void themed as it should be

[frosty vine]

Unvoids your void

[dawn vortex]

the void is now white it hurts stop

it's like being in only sunlight

[frosty vine]

Quite funky tbh

Like white is always end in ror2

[crystal pilot]

unrisks your rain

[frosty vine]

Either the mithrixs kingdom or the ending

[high torrent]

unrains your risk

[dawn vortex]

you install discord white mode to fry your brain, curing you of the horrors of gaining 90 bodily parasites and 180 different chemicals ingested through different holes

i use discord white mode

[frosty vine]

You're the true reaper of risk of rain

Or you're the one to meet it soon

[obsidian gyro]

[sonic gull]

How it feels to stand still for 0.5 seconds every 35 seconds due to transformation mechanics

[full gale]

Clearly there is something wrong between these 2 gifs. Can you tell what it is?

[dull ingot]

one wont load 😔

[light shadow]

One of them is playing Commando

[dawn vortex]

raw void always explode when exposed to the real dimension like antimatter?

[calm flame]

I love this run

[calm trellis]

gpddamn

[light shadow]

god mfin damn

[full gale]

The issue I'm having with this, is that Fiend's M2 doesn't execute/void/delete/erase/obliterate/whatever enemies on kill

but lost seer's does that perfectly with that beautiful visual effect

with m2 they just plop down to the ground

[calm flame]

cant believe i have 2 count it 2 squid polyps

[frosty vine]

Boom

[calm trellis]

the "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

[full gale]

it's not an explosion it's a void blast
why not just make them disappear

[light shadow]

Well void fiend's m2 isn't an instant kill

[frosty vine]

Because it's a blast

Not a void reaver prison

[full gale]

I'm just saying that when it does kill the enemies should just vanish

https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33906904/809ca2cfc7f15033cba3094177fdb9aeeaac5c5b.gif

[frosty vine]

It would be a good detail

[full gale]

like this you know?

[light shadow]

yeah seer's glasses presumably just sends the enemy to void baby jail when it procs while void fiend is just murdering things

[frosty vine]

But I guess that's jsut it

[full gale]

but the fiend uses void abilities

[weary lava]

So if you find a regenerative scrapper printer, is that infinite greens?

[frosty vine]

Showing that it's an actual explosion

[calm trellis]

I was lucky enough to find a newt altar on stage 1
but i have 0 clue wtf to buy(im new)

[light shadow]

yeah hes using void abilities to kill, not detain

[frosty vine]

Not a teleport tearing world

[full gale]

based on void
brought to him by void

sponsored by void shadow legends

[frosty vine]

1 and 4

[dawn vortex]

the items have downsides too, if you want death take the glass

[light shadow]

we don't even know if void fiend has the same detainment power as the other void entities cus hes not native to the void

[merry karma]

4th option is like the safest

[dawn vortex]

we only really know the void police crabs has the powers, dont we?

[oak ravine]

Ok so like this is random, has anyone listened to the preorder previews for the DLC soundtrack? because They Might As Well Be Dead might be the best song I've heard in a video game in ages, oh my god.

[full gale]

The 2 on the right on the right

On the furthest right there's which creates a tiny ward that powers up any character (including enemies) by 50%
the one to the left is shaped glass. double damage but half health

[light shadow]

The one on the far right is quite funny

[merry karma]

first one gives you more damage in exchange for lowering your health, second and third one give you gold on hit but you lose gold if you get hit

[frosty vine]

All new osts are very pog

[light shadow]

Yeah but I figure the other void enemies like the jailers will also have detainment explosions on death

speculation but safe assumption I think

[calm flame]

nvm karma struck me end i died to an overlaoding elder lumerian

[frosty vine]

I blame on visual effects to be honest

[calm trellis]

i find the meteor funny
cus almost most probably kills me AND my friend who's like
a master at this point idk

[dire rivet]

just you wait and see

[calm flame]

oops wrong reply

[full gale]

apparently this was changed

[light shadow]

I'll take that as a yes then

[calm flame]

meant this

[frosty vine]

Like they have same explosion effect vfx and its a bit confusing

[sonic gull]

How do we pre order the DLC to get the soundtrack?

[frosty vine]

But also probably purple void and red void are different?

[full gale]

Uncles explain why this m2 feels so unsatisfying please

[calm trellis]

there's a bandcamp for the ost

[frosty vine]

Or red color is some kind of incarnation?

[oak ravine]

I just followed the link in the latest dev thoughts vid, it has a bandcamp

[calm trellis]

in the description of the latest devlog

[frosty vine]

Pře order song

Can't pře order dlc

[light shadow]

red void is just corrupted isn't it

[calm trellis]

3 songs
and im already soaking wet

[iron plover]

suncles, is Void Fiend's healthbar being pink purely cosmetic? or does it have some greater purpose

[frosty vine]

I am bad at ror lore soo

Probably shows he's void creature

[sonic gull]

Also ik this is a super small touch but it'd be cool if the ship bg changes based on what content each survivor is from. So the void bg only appears for void dlc survivors

[neon fern]

ror lore lol

i am laughing

[frosty vine]

Acrid though?

[neon fern]

dying, even

[sonic gull]

Maybe acrid too

😳 😳

[oak ravine]

I heard the guitar riff during the the dev thoughts while I was cooking had to double take because my dude Chris was popping off entirely too hard,

[light shadow]

Idk about Acrid the only relation he has to the void is he was detained there for a bit after ror1

[sonic gull]

Idk what Chris does to make such banger music. Maybe lean?

[frosty vine]

Buying dlc for new chars? Nah, buying dlc to vibe in New music

[light shadow]

It would be more consistent if the expansion bg applied to the expansion content characters

[calm trellis]

might aswell skip the bazaar and shoot newt
im not taking risks this early

[frosty vine]

Can't wait to see newt as an actual boss

[light shadow]

visiting the bazaar is still worth for the seers and cauldrons

[dawn vortex]

i think acrid was left on the moon to be left alone and then got scooped up by void police for literally being 9 nuclear waste dumps taped together, then he became chubby in his sleep

[frosty vine]

New stuff from dlc?

[calm trellis]

has he been killed?

ever?

[light shadow]

No they're stuff already in the newt shop

[frosty vine]

I mean

Only in your thoughts

[light shadow]

You can reduce newt's hp to zero but it doesn't kill him

[sonic gull]

Ate too many bison steaks and drank too much gasoline

[calm trellis]

why hasnt he kicked me out

[light shadow]

Did too many syringes

[frosty vine]

So acrid was more of a glimpse at the void than actual void?

[light shadow]

He likes you :]

[calm trellis]

ah there it is

[frosty vine]

Gay newt

[light shadow]

Yeah Acrid has no real relation to the void other than being a prisoner there between the events of ror1 and 2 because he is a very dangerous entity

[sonic gull]

Ngl itd be cool if killing newt dropped like 5 unar coins or Smth. As a reward for players who can loop enough to get DPS that high.

[calm trellis]

he stomped his cheeks and crushed me under(i was behind him)

[dawn vortex]

makes the current shop free so you can scale into insanity and die because you shoved 5 lunar items into yourself

[high torrent]

braško more

[light shadow]

Making the current shop free just means people will take five gestures

[calm trellis]

HOLY FUCK I CAN DIE IN THE BAZAAR?

[calm trellis]

not jumping again

[frosty vine]

Yeah

[sonic gull]

Rerolling won't be free

[calm trellis]

the run isnt ruined at least

[frosty vine]

But not from fall damage unless artifact

[obsidian gyro]

[sonic gull]

10 Gesture + double equip activation red + foreign fruit + ratio?

[frosty vine]

+mom jokes

[sonic gull]

Yes

[light shadow]

The bazar between time has had disastrous consequences for the whorl population

[dawn vortex]

so why does gesture have no internal sanity check but the inf cooldown alien head does, is my question, not much difference but can be tweaked or just [accidently picks up scanner and becomes blind]

[frosty vine]

Yes

[calm trellis]

the orange particles really help

damn

[rose lagoon]

what is whorl

[light shadow]

Enemy from ror1 that is extinct in ror2 and their shells are the gesture item

[quartz saffron]

Hot sauce item? Poge

probably because of the ror1 achievement xD

why am i getting always stone titan goddamn
at least it isnt the jellyfish

Day 1 of posting Needletick until SOTV RELEASE! Only 13 days to go

[calm trellis]

how many stages are there?

[foggy badger]

2 stages currently known but probably more

[high wasp]

5 new stages being added. 4 normal stages and 1 final boss stage

[calm trellis]

ah

im close then

[high wasp]

We know 3 stages, siphoned forest, Aphelian sanctuary, and sulfur pools

[calm trellis]

close to 2 bandit challenges done

[high wasp]

We’ve seen clips of the last 2 but nothing is known besides that

[kind beacon]

owo whats this?

[calm trellis]

at least single player can be paused

[high wasp]

Void tri-tip dagger likely

[quartz saffron]

void dagger

[high wasp]

Oh wait were you talking about how many stages there are in the base game or being added in the dlc

[kind beacon]

grrrrrrr I want to know every single new item effect right NOW

[foggy badger]

forgot sulfur pools existed

[high wasp]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-oh3rT4VI8aiQRzFAOaPo5FR3JMkn_9yMxQpVrkftqM/edit

[quartz saffron]

that doc has most of the effects

[light shadow]

Has there been any footage of sulfur pools yet?

[sonic gull]

Wait we've seen sulfur pools?

[quartz saffron]

some pictures

[sonic gull]

No we haven't?

Pics yeah but not gameplay

[merry karma]

yes we have

[kind beacon]

ty <3

[sonic gull]

That looks so good

[light shadow]

wow this place looks undesirable

[high wasp]

It looks amazing

[sonic gull]

Tbh I'm most hyped for the new stage 5.

[gaunt yacht]

which is not confirmed

[sonic gull]

Huh?

[high wasp]

New stage 5 hasn’t been confirmed

[sonic gull]

I thought we were getting a stage for everything except 4

[light shadow]

They definitely nailed the vibe of this place stinks like a smash tournament

[gaunt yacht]

A new stage 5 is neither confirmed nor deconfirmed

It could be a Hidden Realm, it could be a stage 5 alt, it could be something new entirely

[high wasp]

Yep

[sonic gull]

I forgot about alts. They only used it for stage 1

[gaunt yacht]

yeah I did not mean that

[sonic gull]

Some more would be nice but I wouldn't enjoy it advertised as a "new stage"

[gaunt yacht]

We haven't seen any chests but like all the footage is blurry so can't really rule anything out

[keen fractal]

isn't sulfer pools gonna be like the cool gup stage from ror1

[gaunt yacht]

and we don't know which of the stages is which of course

[light shadow]

hive cluster? that place fucking sucks

[gaunt yacht]

Gup won't be in Sulfur Pools

[sonic gull]

Aph sanctuary and the snow are confirmed stage 2 and 1 respecively

[dawn vortex]

tap space

[amber bear]

Truth

[keen fractal]

hive cluster has gup so you're wrong

[high wasp]

And sulfur pools is confirmed stage 3

[sonic gull]

Pog

[dire rivet]

sulfur pools is the enemies on the screenshots + wisps

[light shadow]

I would agree but gups never fucking spawn there for me

[gaunt yacht]

It has no bosses damn

[sonic gull]

Gups haven't spawned anywhere for me yet :/

[high wasp]

Damn sulfur pools only has 4 enemies

[lunar forum]

the new ost..

[keen fractal]

i forgot people are playing it already

[dire rivet]

well

big boy wisps

[light shadow]

I've seen gups in ror1 only a few times, if they didn't split I would have never gotten their log

[dire rivet]

small boy wisps

big boy beetles

[dawn vortex]

wait how are people playing the dlc already

[dire rivet]

small boy beetles

[high wasp]

I see

[gaunt yacht]

well yeah but obviously there'd be a boss

[frosty vine]

Average wisps

Big WiSPs

[stable fulcrum]

oh it's easy! all you gotta do is

[sonic gull]

John hopoo gave me a steam key. It's really fun. Stage 5 is confirmed sans house

[frosty vine]

Techno wisps

[high wasp]

It’s not out yet

[median gorge]

Eclipse Arti is so painful

[gaunt yacht]

Doesn't look like a Magma Wormy area that I imagined

[light shadow]

Its only beetle queen

[frosty vine]

Actual wisps

[high wasp]

Sulfur pools unique boss would be very very cool

[keen fractal]

biggus wispus

[foggy badger]

i wish i could preorder the dlc

[light shadow]

fart worm boss

[gaunt yacht]

We still don't know if we even saw any of the bosses

or if we will before release

[frosty vine]

What for

[keen fractal]

wonder if cremator comes back

[frosty vine]

Devs doesn't lack money

[median gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/memes-meme-random-captions-caption-gif-23557955

[dire rivet]

literal first item

[frosty vine]

Devs won't reward you for giving money earlier

[foggy badger]

ANALYZE IT ANALYZE IT

[gaunt yacht]

[frosty vine]

Lkve

[tranquil ridge]

Rook#6154 was muted

[frosty vine]

What?

[light shadow]

HUGE

[keen fractal]

what happened

[dull ingot]

wait doesn't ben's raincoat make the bands absolutely insane

[foggy badger]

the $ looks brighter

so does the lunar coin icon

[high wasp]

Let’s go Uncles got 1 second cooldown off of two abilities 😼

[gaunt yacht]

Bandcoat isn't real no

[dire rivet]

lets not start spamming meaningless gifs please

those days are over

[stable fulcrum]

idk seems void themed to me idk why'd you mute him for that

[light shadow]

eh yeah I guess alien head isn't gonna be that huge on void fiend lol

[sonic gull]

No. There's a rework on what's considered debuffs

[lethal marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/skeletor-silence-you-funny-foul-silence-shut-up-shut-up-clown-gif-23928870

[foggy badger]

also the currency ui isnt as big as it was in the rg trailer so that was probably just a bug

[sonic gull]

Idk if blast shield still negates bands

[light shadow]

Wonder if Toxic Beast comes back

[dire rivet]

oh driptrap i thought we were cool with the whole Balls incident

[dull ingot]

oh bruh

[tranquil ridge]

driptrap#4725 was muted

[light shadow]

driptrap betrayal 😔

[keen fractal]

[frosty vine]

You've been drip trapped :c

[foggy badger]

no more balls

[light shadow]

The only ror1 bosses that would be cool to make a reappearance would be Ancient Wisp and Ifrit

[keen fractal]

yes please

[high wasp]

Unfortunately they are dead

[sonic gull]

Me when no more balls

[frosty vine]

Isn't ifrit hidden in game files?

[sonic gull]

Not finished

[light shadow]

No its ancient wisp I think

[light shadow]

unless Ifrit also is

[calm flame]

NOOOOO

[gaunt yacht]

Ifrit is not in the files no

[calm flame]

BALLS

[dire rivet]

top ten anime betrayals

[frosty vine]

Okay

[gaunt yacht]

and Ancient Wisp is not coming back anyways

[light shadow]

There's a mod that adds the unfinished ancient wisp and polishes it up a bit, I think its fun but a little overtuned

[keen fractal]

what if magma worm comes back from ror1😳

[gaunt yacht]

Overloading Magma Worm with 50 Tesla Coils

[keen fractal]

they could add a secret overloading worm boss

[foggy badger]

what if lemurian comes back from ror1 😳

[spark pawn]

just because of how hard overloading magma worms were in the first game? that wouldn't make sense

[gaunt yacht]

What if we made Overloading Worm have 0 gameplay differences

[keen fractal]

acrid coming back would be pog

[light shadow]

What if the Overloading Worm is just an incredibly boring damage sponge that would be humorous

[sonic gull]

Imagine if they added a character called captain too. That would be awesome. he could have a nuke.

[foggy badger]

i hope bandit is the secret survivor of this dlc

[stable fulcrum]

@lunar forum love your name

[lunar forum]

in the survivor select screen there's an expansions tab much like artifacts, what happens if we disable that? can we toggle the new stages on and off?

[lunar forum]

thanks :)

[stable fulcrum]

:)

[foggy badger]

:)

[light shadow]

Disabling it will just not have any of the content added in the dlc I guess

[spark pawn]

i think some of the new content is base game and some is dlc. stuff marked with that icon.. stages are probably base game?

maybe im wrong

[foggy badger]

one of the mods added "GOOD NEWS" to my name

[gaunt yacht]

Disabling the dlc disables the dlc

[foggy badger]

suncles

[lunar forum]

ohh that's how you can share the dlc content with friends who don't own it, im such a

[gaunt yacht]

As to how they did that who knows

You could share it you could also just turn it off so they can't have it

[foggy badger]

you can play dlc with friends but they cant play as the survivors

[light shadow]

no void fiend for timmy from the slums

[spark pawn]

my friends don't deserve 13500 3.0

[keen fractal]

timmy from the slums is the next survivor???

[lunar forum]

man, this dlc is gonna be humongous

[gaunt yacht]

I just wanna see the new void stage

[dull ingot]

There's another void stage?

[gaunt yacht]

they look awesome hopefully they'll have something interesting to do in them

[dire rivet]

#theorycrafting message

[lunar forum]

i wanna see what happens when (if) the void invades your stage

[frozen badger]

I have created an endless cycle of death

[frosty vine]

[dull ingot]

It's nice having a stage thats more geometric

[frozen badger]

2x dagger, 3xgasoline,2x ukulele, 5x wisp fire

[sonic gull]

Kinda wish there was a different toggle for stages and items tbh.

[gaunt yacht]

should've added the whole copyright

[dull ingot]

wait double rebar is a bug?

[frozen badger]

I killed something a full minute ago and the deaths haven't stopped yet

I didn't even fire once again lmao

[frosty vine]

Gearbox publisher though

[civic nymph]

🤔 where have I heard that before

[spark pawn]

they need to update hopoo feather log

[sonic gull]

Maybe once every stage has an alternative in a dlc we will be able to turn off base game stages with the exception of mithrix and hidden realms too?

[frosty vine]

I don't think

[lunar forum]

if it is like that i think it's possible to be changed if the community votes for so, we'll have to wait and see

[frosty vine]

Because while turning off dlc makes sense turning off base game is questionable

[frozen badger]

Oh btw is captain wanderlust just 2 loops or do you really need to visit EVERY biome in the current game?
